Casablanca Mining Ltd.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
Unaudited
 
NOTE 1:
ORGANIZATION
 
Casablanca Mining Ltd. (the “Company” or “Casablanca”) is a Nevada Corporation engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of precious metal properties.  The Company is an “exploration stage company” as defined in the Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 915 “Development Stage Entities” (ASC 915).
 
Casablanca was incorporated as USD Energy Corp. on June 27, 2008.  On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired Santa Teresa Minerals, S.A., a limited liability company organized under the laws of Chile (“Santa Teresa Minerals”).  See “Note 4: Santa Teresa Minerals Acquisition.”  Unless context requires otherwise, references to the "Company" or "we" refer to Casablanca and its consolidated subsidiaries.  On February 4, 2011, the Company changed its name from USD Energy Corp. to Casablanca Mining Ltd.
 
The acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals was accounted for as a purchase.  Accordingly, the operating statements and statements of cash flows of the Company from December 31, 2010 through September 30, 2011 reflect the combined operations of Casablanca Mining Ltd. and Santa Teresa Minerals while the operating statements of the Company prior to December 31, 2010 reflect the historical operations of Casablanca only.
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of operating results for the interim period presented have been made.  The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
 
The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. GAAP applicable to exploration stage enterprises.
 
The functional currency of Casablanca is the United States Dollar, and the functional currency of Santa Teresa Minerals is Chilean Pesos.  The financial statements are presented in United States dollars.   The exchange rate at September 30, 2011 was 521.925 Chilean Pesos per United States Dollar, based on historical rates from www.xe.com.
 
NOTE 2:
GOING CONCERN
 
The Company’s financial statements at September 30, 2011 and for the period from inception (June 27, 2008) through September 30, 2011 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred a loss of $3,182,456 from inception through September 30, 2011.  In addition, the Company has not generated any material revenues.  These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 
- 5 -

 

The Company may not be able to obtain additional funds that it may require.  The Company does not presently have adequate cash from operations to meet its long-term needs.  Except for the lines of credit of Santa Teresa Minerals, as discussed under "Note 8: Debt," the Company does not currently have any established third-party bank credit arrangements.  The Company will seek additional funds through equity or debt financings, if available on terms and schedules acceptable to the Company.   If the additional funds that the Company may require are not available to it, the Company may be required to curtail significantly or eliminate some or all of its development programs.
 
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
NOTE 3:
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Casablanca, its wholly owned subsidiary Santa Teresa Minerals, and the mining projects owned by Santa Teresa Minerals.  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Mining Properties and Equipment
 
The Company will follow the successful efforts method of accounting.  All developmental costs will be capitalized.  Depreciation and depletion of producing properties will be computed on the unit-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves. Repairs and maintenance will be expensed, while renewals and betterments will be generally capitalized.
 
At least quarterly, or more frequently if conditions indicate that long-term assets may be impaired, the carrying value of our properties will be compared to management's future estimated pre-tax cash flow from the properties. If undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, then the asset value will be written down to fair value. Impairment of individually significant unproved properties will be assessed on a property-by-property basis, and impairment of other unproved properties is assessed and amortized on an aggregate basis.
 
Asset Retirement Obligation
 
The Company’s financial statements will reflect the fair value for any asset retirement obligation, consisting of future plugging and abandonment expenditures related to our properties, which can be reasonably estimated. The asset retirement obligation will be recorded as a liability at its estimated present value at the asset's inception, with an offsetting increase to producing properties on the balance sheet. Periodic accretion of the discount of the estimated liability will be recorded as an expense in the statements of operations.
 
Estimates
 
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 
- 6 -

 
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts for the Company’s cash, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
 
Income Taxes
 
ASC Topic No. 740 “Income Taxes” (ASC 740) requires the asset and liability method of accounting be used for income taxes.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Per ASC Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share,” basic EPS is determined using net income/(loss) divided by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock were issued.
 
NOTE 4:
SANTA TERESA MINERALS ACQUISITION
 
On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired Santa Teresa Minerals through the exchange of 25,500,000 shares of its Common Stock for all of the issued and outstanding capital shares of Santa Teresa Minerals pursuant to that certain Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), dated December 7, 2010, among the Company, Santa Teresa Minerals and the shareholders of Santa Teresa Minerals (collectively, the “Santa Teresa Shareholders”).  The value of the shares of Common Stock issued in the exchange was $0.05 per share, as determined by a third party valuation.
 
In connection with the closing of the Exchange Agreement, we issued a note  (the “Camus Note”) with a principal amount of $1,087,000 to Juan Carlos Camus Villegas (“Mr. Camus”), one of the Santa Teresa Shareholders, in exchange for a note in the same amount owed by Santa Teresa Minerals to him.  The Camus Note bore no interest and was payable in full, unless earlier converted, on November 1, 2012.  Mr. Camus was able to declare the Camus Note immediately due and payable in the event of any material breach of the note that remained uncured for 30 days, commencement of proceedings under bankruptcy, the Company’s dissolution, or attachment against a material portion of the Company’s assets.  Mr. Camus’ note contained an anti-dilutive feature which allowed Mr. Camus to convert the Camus Note at any time on or prior to June 30, 2012 into Common Stock at the conversion price of the lesser of $0.01 per share of Common Stock or lowest price at which the Company issues Common Stock during the conversion period.   This conversion right was personal to Mr. Camus and in general, would have been suspended at any time that the number of shares that had been issued, or were issuable, to the Santa Teresa Shareholders and their affiliates, or have otherwise been issued pursuant to the Camus Note, exceeded 51% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
 
On August 16, 2011, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Mr. Camus, currently a director and the Company's Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Camus Note was cancelled, upon certain terms and conditions, in exchange for $130,000 in cash, 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, valued at $2,000,000, of the Company, and a new non-convertible promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000 (the “New Promissory Note”).  See “Note 8: Debt.”

 
- 7 -

 
 
We have reviewed our acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals to determine the proper accounting for this transaction in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805 – “Business Combinations” (ASC 805). Based on our review of ASC 805-10-55-11 and ASC 805-10-55-12, we have determined that the acquisition should be treated as a purchase.
 
The assets we acquired through Santa Teresa Minerals included principally: cash, accounts receivable, fixed assets (recorded at fair value), including land and mining equipment; and liabilities acquired consisting of accounts payable and notes and loans payable.  The difference between the value of the shares issued in consideration and the assets less liabilities was recorded as goodwill.

We paid $200,000 at the closing of the purchase and are obligated to pay $100,000 on each of the six month, twelve month and eighteen month anniversaries of the purchase agreement, $200,000 on each of the twenty four and thirty month anniversaries of the purchase agreement, and $300,000 on the 36 month anniversary of the purchase agreement.

NOTE 8:
DEBT
 
In 2008, Trisha Malone, then our Chief Executive Officer and a director, advanced $5,000 on the Company’s behalf to pay a vendor.  No interest accrued on this advance, which was to be repaid from the proceeds of sales of stock or a loan.  The balance due on this loan at September 30, 2011 is $5,000.
 
On February 7, 2009, the Company issued a Convertible Note (the “Suprafin Note”) to Suprafin, Ltd. in exchange for Suprafin’s agreement to lend the Company up to $25,000 for operating expenses.  The Suprafin Note bore interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum and was due and payable on February 7, 2010.  Suprafin had the right to convert at any time the outstanding principal and interest under the Suprafin Note into shares of Common Stock at the market closing price on the day prior to conversion.  On February 5, 2010, the Suprafin Note was amended to extend the maturity date to February 7, 2011, to increase the amount the Company may borrow to up to $50,000 at any given time, and to set the conversion price at $.0225 per share.  In July 2010, Suprafin converted the then outstanding principal and interest ($45,312) under the Suprafin Note into 2,013,867 shares of Common Stock.   On January 17, 2011, Suprafin converted the outstanding principal and interest ($14,425) into 641,111 shares of Common Stock.   See “Note 9:  Related Party Transactions.”
 
In connection with the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued a note with a principal amount of $1,087,000 (the “Camus Note”) to Juan Carlos Camus Villegas (“Mr. Camus”), one of the Santa Teresa Shareholders and presently an officer and director of the Company, in exchange for a note in the same amount owed by Santa Teresa Minerals to him.  See “Note 4: Santa Teresa Minerals Acquisition.”
 
On August 16, 2011, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Mr. Camus pursuant to which the Camus Note was cancelled, upon certain terms and conditions, in exchange for $130,000 in cash, 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, valued at a fair value of $1.00 per share, and a new non-convertible promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000 (the “New Promissory Note”).
 
The New Promissory Note, which does not contain the anti-dilutive features of the Camus Note, bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable monthly in arrears.  Principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on November 1, 2012, provided however that the loan will become payable immediately upon demand by Mr. Camus following certain events, including the Company’s insolvency, bankruptcy, or general assignment for the benefit of creditors and Mr. Camus no longer being a director of the Company (unless Mr. Camus is not a director because of his voluntary resignation as a director).

NOTE 12:
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarifies existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
ASU 2010-28, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This ASU modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, it does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This ASU specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The ASU also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under ASC Topic 805. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, it does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
References in the Report to the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to Casablanca Mining Ltd., a Nevada Corporation (“Casablanca”) and its consolidated subsidiary Santa Teresa Minerals, S.A., a limited liability company organized under the laws of Chile (“Santa Teresa Minerals”). The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this filing as well as with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Commission.
 
On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired Santa Teresa Minerals.  For a discussion of our financial statements prior to the acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals (the “Santa Teresa Acquisition”), see our financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The transaction was accounted for as business combination or a purchase, and the operating statements of the Company prior to December 31, 2010 reflect the historical operations of Casablanca Mining Ltd. only.  Prior to the Santa Teresa Acquisition, we conducted only nominal business operations.  As such, comparisons to financial periods prior to the Santa Teresa Acquisition may not be meaningful.
 
Forward Looking Statements
 
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Report.  This discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements based on assumptions about our future business.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Factors that May Affect Future Operating Results” contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
 
Overview
 
The Company engages in the acquisition, exploration, development, and operation of precious metal properties in South America since its acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals.  Its gold and copper mining operations are based near Santiago, Chile.  Santa Teresa Minerals currently has, directly and indirectly through various equity interests, mining rights in a historically producing gold mine , “Free Gold,” and in exploration projects, the “Casuto Project,” consisting of Los Azules 1-3, Tauro 1-6, Los Chipi 1-16 and the “Los Pinos Project,” consisting of Los Pinos 1-30 and Teresita 1-20.  These projects include 30 different mining and mineral exploration properties including gold, copper and copper sulfate. Santa Teresa Minerals also owns 60% of Sociedad Sulfatos Chile S.A., a copper sulfate production project that owns the Anica Copper Mines, and a 60% equity position in a company with the rights to a revolutionary mining technology that extracts gold, silver and copper from raw mining materials using a proprietary and patented electrolysis method of electromining.
 
Results of Operations
 
Revenues
 
Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $431 and $3,199 respectively from the sale of scrap metal.  There were no revenues for the same periods in 2010.
 
We have had only minimal revenues generated to date as we have concentrated our efforts in obtaining permits, conducting mining tests, obtaining samples, and constructing plants.  We expect Santa Teresa Minerals will begin to generate revenues from its mining projects late in the fourth quarter of 2011 or early in the first quarter of 2012.

 
- 14 -

 

Operating Expenses
 
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, operating expenses were $419,148 and $1,103,049 respectively, compared to $5,500 and $15,200 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.    Operating expenses were primarily associated with the operations of Santa Teresa Minerals in the ordinary course of business as well as legal and accounting expenses required by a public company and costs incurred in connection with the Santa Teresa Acquisition.
 
Santa Teresa Minerals has incurred significant expenses since inception, mostly as the result of capital expenditures for equipment and infrastructure, exploration costs, development of technology, salaries for mining personnel, legal, accounting and office expenses.  These expenses are expected to continue to increase as mining activity begins and as exploration efforts increase.
 
Interest Expense
 
Interest accrued or paid on notes payable, resulted in interest expense of $18,911 and $32,567 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively compared to $338 and $2,201 in interest expense for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010.  Interest expense is mainly related to bank loans and lines of credit for Santa Teresa Minerals and the New Promissory Note with Mr. Camus.
 
Net Loss on Note Restructuring
 
The issuance of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a fair value of $2,000,000 and the payment of $130,000 in cash per the New Promissory Note with Mr. Camus, and a reduction in the principal amount previously owed to Mr. Camus under the Camus Note of $87,000 as replaced by the New Promissory Note with Mr. Camus resulted in net loss on note restructuring of $2,043,000  for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively compared to no other expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
Net Loss
 
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, net losses were $2,480,628 and $3,102,506, respectively, compared to net losses of $5,838 and $17,401 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Net losses were due to the operational expenses, interest expense and other expense discussed above.
 
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of September 30, 2011, our principal sources of capital included cash of $116,471 compared to $9,390 at December 31, 2010.  This capital was generated through private placements of our Common Stock. In January 2011, we raised $800,000 from the sale of 800,000 shares of Common Stock to WealthMakers, Ltd.  In March 2011, Angelique de Maison individually agreed to purchase from us up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share which number was increased in May, June and September 2011 for a total of 8,200,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share.  As of September 30, 2011, we had sold a total of 4,775,310 shares to Ms. de Maison pursuant to this agreement.
 
Santa Teresa Minerals also has several lines of credit with Banco Security which provides liquidity for operations.  These lines of credit have historically been rolled over at the due date into a new line of credit with a revised due date and interest rate.

 
- 15 -

 

During the next twelve months, the Company plans to satisfy its cash requirements by additional equity financing and contributions from its current principal shareholders and other investors.  On October 14, 2011, the Company and LV Ventures Inc. entered in to a Stock Purchase Agreement, whereby LV Ventures agreed to purchase 1,333,333 shares of common stock of the Company  for a purchase price of $1.20 per share, in three equal monthly installments of 444,444 shares each beginning on October 14, 2011. The Company intends to undertake additional private placements of its securities in order to raise future development and operating capital. The Company depends upon capital to be derived from contributions from its principal shareholders and future financing activities such as subsequent offerings of its securities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the capital it requires through the sale of its securities.
 
Going forward, Santa Teresa Minerals expects to incur average monthly costs, including capital purchases, of approximately $800,000 as it builds out the copper mine and copper sulfate production facility associated with Sulfatos Chile, and begins production at its Free Gold and Los Pinos properties.  Santa Teresa Minerals also expects to incur further exploration costs and costs to develop technology as set forth in its plan of operations.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company acquired various additional mining assets.
 
Los Pinos
 
In June 2011, the Company purchased a 70% ownership interest in each of the mining properties currently known as “Teresita uno de veinte” and “Los Pinos uno de treinta” (or the “Los Pinos Project”) for a purchase price of $1,200,000 payable in installments.  We paid $200,000 at the closing of the purchase and are obligated to pay $100,000 on each of the six month, twelve month and eighteen month anniversaries of the purchase agreement dated May 6, 2011, $200,000 on each of the twenty four and thirty month anniversaries of the purchase agreement, and $300,000 on the 36 month anniversary of the purchase agreement.
 
Casuto Project
 
In February 2011, we increased our equity ownership in five of our Chilean gold mining subsidiaries in exchange for 20,000 shares of our Common Stock, valued at $20,000, and $200,000 in cash paid in five equal monthly installments ending in June 2011.  This purchase resulted in the following increases in our equity ownership:
 
 
·
Our interest in Cia Contractual Casuto, which is the owner of Tauro 1-4 mining properties of the Casuto Project, increased from 55.125% to 65.125%.
 
 
·
Our interest in Sociedad Contractual Free Gold, which is the owner of the Free Gold Project, increased from 50% to 99%.
 
 
·
Our interest in Sociedad Contractual Minera Los Azules, which is the owner of Los Azules 1-3 mining properties of the Casuto Project, increased from 55.125% to 65.125%.
 
 
·
Our interest in Sociedad Legal Minera Tauro 5, which is the owner of Tauro 5 mining property of the Casuto Project, increased from 70% to 85.215%.
 
 
·
Our interest in Sociedad Legal Minera Tauro 6, which is the owner of Tauro 6 mining property of the Casuto Project, increased from 70% to 85.215%.
 
On our Casuto Project properties, we intend to conduct further geological assessment studies of the area in order to identify the old river channels and then to plan a campaign of boring and sampling in areas of greater interest, at a cost of approximately $1.0 million within the next 12 months.

Sulfatos Chile

In March 2011, Santa Teresa Minerals signed an Engineering and Construction of an SX-CR Plant Agreement with Francisco Morales Rivera – Ingefibras E.I.R.L. and Nunez, Ojeda Y da Silva Limitada – RCG Ingenieria (together the “Contractor”) for Contractor to design and build a Solvent Extraction and Crystallization Plant in the Sulfatos Chile S.A. Anico Project.  The project is being paid for in installments after the completion and verification of multiple scheduled milestones through the expected completion date of October 24, 2011.  The total project cost per the agreement is $1,150,000 plus taxes.The plant was fabricated offsite and has been completed.  The plant was scheduled to be installed by October 24, 2011, however, installation has been delayed, pending permits. We anticipate the plant will be completed by the end of the year.
 
In addition, at the Anica Copper Mine which is part of the Sulfatos Chile S.A. Anico Project, a new two kilometer road has been installed and a 15 drill hole drilling program has been completed.  Drill rigs were used to drill down to a depth of 140 meters.  Drilling samples were taken to determine the grade of copper at the mine.  The samples are currently being evaluated by a third party laboratory contracted by Sulfatos Chile.
 
 We estimate that the entire copper sulfate production facility and working copper mining operation will cost approximately $6.2 million and will be completed by the end of 2011.
 
Free Gold
 
In February 2011, along with the Company's increased stakes in the Casuto Project, the Company’s stake in Contract Mining Company - Free Gold (also known as Sociedad Contractual Free Gold), which is the owner of the Free Gold Project, increased from 50%  to 99%.
 
We plan to expand the alluvial gold operations at Free Gold at an estimated cost of $1.97 million within the next eight months, by increasing the existing equipment inventory and expanding the Company’s alluvial processing plant.
 
Fast Cooper
 
On June 28, 2011 the China Patent Office granted a patent for the electro-mining technology owned by Fast Cooper.   We own 60% of Fast Cooper.  Patents for the electro-mining process have been issued in Chile, South Africa and China and are pending in the United States, Canada, Australia and Brazil.
 
This patented process is significantly faster, cheaper, and more environmentally friendly than traditional copper extraction.  Traditionally, copper has been extracted from raw material using the following method:
 
Copper bearing minerals are concentrated from crushed ores by froth flotation or bioleaching.  Heating this material with silica in flash smelting removes much of the iron as slag. The process converts iron sulfides into oxides, which in turn react with the silica to form the silicate slag, which floats on top of the heated mass. The resulting copper matte is then roasted to convert all sulfides into oxides.  The cuprous oxide is converted to blister copper upon heating.  This step reduces the copper oxide to copper metal. Natural gas is blown across the blister to remove most of the remaining oxygen and electro-refining is performed on the resulting material to produce pure copper.
 
The electro-mining technology subject to the patent revolutionizes copper extraction technology by bypassing nearly all of the traditional copper extraction process, which is expensive, time consuming, and environmentally unfriendly, and extracts copper directly from crushed raw material using an electrical and chemical process that allows the copper to diffuse through the raw material and attach to a steel plate submerged in a chemical solution. The process is more environmentally friendly as the chemical solution is contained in plastic tanks and water and acid are recycled in a closed system.

We expect to continue to incur patent related costs as we continue work on the pending patents in the United States, Canada and Brazil.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
 
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011.  In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures.  Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives.  Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, the Company’s management was required to apply its reasonable judgment.  Based upon the required evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2011, the Company’s system of controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s management intends to address the material weaknesses in its disclosure controls and procedures as soon as possible.
 
Because of our acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals, there have been resulting changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  In addition, on June 17, 2011, the Company dismissed Gruber & Company, LLC as the Company's independent auditor and appointed DeJoya, Griffith & Company, LLC to serve as the Company's new independent auditor.
