The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company raising additional sources of capital and the successful execution of the Company’s objectives. The Company will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or equity financing, but there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 3 to 10 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.

The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverability.

Mineral Property Rights – Costs of acquiring mining properties are capitalized upon acquisition. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new ore deposits, to expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property and equipment costs, to determine if these costs are in excess of their recoverable amount whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property and equipment costs would be based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

Exploration Costs – Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC 360-10-35-17, Measurement of an Impairment Loss, if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable. As of April 30, 2012 exploration progress is on target with the Company’s exploration and evaluation plan and no events or circumstances have happened to indicate the related carrying values of the properties may not be recoverable. When the Company determines that an impairment analysis should be done, the analysis will be performed using the rules of ASC 930-360-35, Asset Impairment, and 360-10-15-3 through 15-5, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

F-5

Various factors could impact our ability to achieve forecasted production schedules. Additionally, commodity prices, capital expenditure requirements and reclamation costs could differ from the assumptions the Company may use in cash flow models used to assess impairment. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable minerals from exploration stage mineral interests involves further risks in addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence that the identified mineralized material can ultimately be mined economically.

Material changes to any of these factors or assumptions discussed above could result in future impairment charges to operations.

Asset Retirement Obligation - The Company follows ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which requires that an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset. The cost of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the asset. The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. To date, no significant asset retirement obligation exists. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

The Company’s financial instruments consist of mineral property purchase obligations. These obligations are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as their fair value is determined using interest rates which approximate market rates. The Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risk arising from these financial instruments.

Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue from licensing our technology is recognized over the term of the license agreement. Costs and expenses are recognized during the period in which they are incurred.

Research and Development - All research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share - The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, and ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, which establish standards for the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for basic and diluted earnings per share for entities with publicly held common shares and potential common stock issuances. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In computing diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted to reflect the effect of potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. Common stock equivalents, which include stock options and warrants to purchase common stock, on April 30, 2012 and 2011 that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive were 109,095,129 and 102,317,340, respectively.

F-6

Deferred rent – The Company leases equipment under an agreement which provide for periodic increases over the lease term. Accordingly, timing differences between the amount paid for rent and the amount expensed are recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying balance sheets. As of July 31, 2012, an expense and liability of $21,402 has been recorded for deferred rent as it relates to escalation of rent payments.

Recent Accounting Standards – From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards did not or will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

If we are able to complete the funding, of which there is no assurance, and Golden Anvil transfers the assets in the Joint Venture Company, the Joint Venture Company will be owned 50% by us and 50% by Golden Anvil. As of July 31, 2012, the Company has lent an additional $70,000 and paid, on behalf of Golden Anvil, $13,055 in expenses which is included in the total Loan amount.

In the event that we are unable to raise the Funding Amount in the time required, we will forfeit our right to proceed with the Joint Venture and the Loan will be payable in 12 months with interest at 18% from the dates of advancement and secured by the Golden Anvil Assets. The Loan will be paid with the net profits of Golden Anvil. Any net profit earned by Golden Anvil will be credited to the earned interest first.

Currently, we are working with the management of Golden Anvil to move the Golden Anvil Assets to an entity on the Toronto Stock Exchange or similar exchange, from which we would either be repaid our Loan plus 18% interest or receive a percentage ownership via common stock from the conversion of our Loan.

F-7

Depreciation expense was $25,860 and $15,615 for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

F-8

Mining claims are capitalized as tangible assets in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force abstract 04-02. Upon completion of a bankable feasibility study, the claims will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the life of the claim. If the Company does not continue with exploration after the completion of the feasibility study, the claims will be expensed at that time.

F-9

Lease expense was $84,587 and $50,743 for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Legal proceedings – The Company is not a party to any legal proceeding and, to our knowledge, no other legal proceedings are pending, threatened or contemplated.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute "forward-looking statements.” These statements, identified by words such as “plan,” "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "should," "expect" and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under the caption "Part II –Item 1A. Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents, particularly our Annual Reports, Quarterly Reports and Current Reports, that we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

OVERVIEW

We were incorporated on December 14, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. We are an exploration stage company and our primary objectives are to: (i) commercially extract and refine precious metals from our own and others mineralized materials; (ii) use our lixiviation processes (Cholla and thiourea) to recover precious metals from specific ore bearing materials and fly ash landfills/monofills; and (iii) joint venture, acquire and develop mining projects in North America.

We are focusing our business on commercially processing specific fly ash and other mineable materials, using a closed loop, leach process that exposes extractable gold (the “Cholla Process”) at our processing and refining plants located in Phoenix, Arizona (the “Phoenix Facility”) and Scottsdale, Arizona (the “Scottsdale Facility”). Our facilities have the capacity to process up to 10 tons per day. In our Phoenix Facility, we also utilize our environmentally friendly proprietary technology for the extraction of precious metals from other materials using thiourea stabilization (the “Lixiviation Technology”). The use of thiourea stabilization is more environmentally friendly than cyanide or sulfuric acid, which have traditionally been used for this purpose.

We entered into a Memorandum of Understanding dated October 19, 2010 with Golden Anvil, SA de CV (“Golden Anvil”) with respect to the proposed formation and funding of a proposed joint venture for the exploration and development of mineral concessions owned by Golden Anvil in the State of Nayarit, Mexico (the “Golden Anvil Mine”). We are currently working with management of Golden Anvil to move the assets of Golden Anvil to an entity on the TSX Venture Exchange from which we would receive a percentage ownership via common stock from the conversion of our loans.

We also have an interest in a potential gold project that consists of a mineral lease covering 20.61 acres of patented claims (the “Smith Lease”) and an option to acquire a 100% interest in 20 unpatented claims (the “BLM Claims”) located near the Smith Lease. Each BLM Claim is comprised of 160 acres. We have entered into a memorandum of understanding with Stina Resources Ltd. (“Stina”) whereby Stina will be able to acquire a 70% interest in the Smith Lease and a 40% interest in the BLM Claims.

We are actively seeking to enter into joint ventures with third parties who have legal rights to fly ash resources, including landfills/monofills. There are no assurances that we will be able to commercially extract precious metals from fly ash or other mineable ores using our Cholla or thiourea processes or that we will be able to enter into joint ventures for the exploration and development of additional mining projects.

We entered into an agreement (the “PMX Agreement”) dated June 14, 2012 with Phoenix PMX LLC (“Phoenix PMX”). Under the terms of the PMX Agreement, Phoenix PMX agreed to provide us with funding of up to $600,000 to support the establishment of Pilot Plants in Scottsdale and Phoenix utilizing our proprietary Cholla Process for recovery of gold from fly ash and other materials. Subsequent to our fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2012, both parties mutually agreed to cancel the PMX Agreement. As of the date of this filing, no amounts are owed under the PMX Agreement.

PLAN OF OPERATION

Our plan of operation over the next twelve months is to focus our financial resources on commercializing the extraction of gold and other precious metals from fly ash or other ash deposits using our Cholla Process and Lixiviation Technology.

We also plan to finalize a formal agreement with Stina whereby Stina can acquire an interest in the Smith Lease and BLM Claims. In consideration of which, Stina will be required to carry out an exploration program on our property. We anticipate that this program will involve the drilling of prime targets on the Smith Lease. The implementation of this drilling program requires the filing of a Plan of Operations with the Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM).

In addition, we are working with the management of Golden Anvil to move the assets of Golden Anvil to an entity on the TSX Venture Exchange, from which we would receive a percentage ownership via common stock from the conversion of our $983,055 Loan.

As of July 31, 2012, we had cash in the amount of $13,283. Accordingly, we do not have sufficient resources to meet the ongoing costs of our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility, the anticipated costs of completing our plan of operation for our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility, the Smith Lease or meeting the administrative costs of operating our business for the next twelve months. In order to complete our plan of operation, we will be required to obtain substantial financing from the sale of our common stock, of which there is no assurance.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues

During the three months ended July 31, 2011, we earned revenues of $31,264 and we earned no revenues during the three months ended July 31, 2012. We are currently in the exploration stage of our business. We have begun to process fly ash at our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility; however, our initial income from the use of our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility has been minimal. We can provide no assurances that we will earn significant revenue from the processing of fly ash or that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our Piute Valley Property, or if such resources are discovered, that we will be able to enter into commercial production of our Piute Valley Property.

Expenses

The major components of our operating expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 are outlined in the table below:

Our operating expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2012 decreased as compared to the three months ended July 31, 2011. The decrease in our operating expenses primarily relates to decreases in mineral exploration and evaluation expenses, mineral exploration and evaluation expenses – related party and general and administrative expenses. Recurring consulting expenses recorded within mineral exploration and evaluation expenses – related party ceased during the quarter. As of July 31, 2012, the Company utilizes the consultant on an as needed basis. The overall decrease was partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization.

Mineral exploration and evaluation expenses primarily consisted of rent, extraction-processing costs, consulting fees and labor expenses in connection with our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility. The decrease in mineral exploration and evaluation expenses in fiscal 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in consulting fees due to reduced activities at our Phoenix Facility.

During the three months ended July 31, 2012, our general and administrative and general and administrative related party expenses primarily consisted of: (i) monthly consulting fees accrued for our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Matheson and paid to our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Mitchell; and (ii) legal and accounting fees in connection with meeting our reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.

We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase significantly as we implement our plan of operation for our Phoenix Facility, Scottsdale Facility and our Piute Valley Property.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

5

As at July 31, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $1,163,294 as compared to a working capital deficit of $811,139 as at our year ended April 30, 2012. The increase in our working capital deficit is primarily due to a decrease in cash and increases in accounts payable, accounts payable – related parties, loans payable and loans payable – related parties.

FINANCING REQUIREMENTS

Currently, we do not have sufficient financial resources to complete our plan of operation for the next twelve months. As such, our ability to complete our plan of operation is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing in the near term.

We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned mining, development and exploration activities.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to our interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Mineral Property Rights

Costs of acquiring mining properties are capitalized upon acquisition. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new ore deposits, to expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property and equipment costs, to determine if these costs are in excess of their recoverable amount whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property and equipment costs would be based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

Exploration Costs

Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

Not Applicable.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of July 31, 2012 (the “Evaluation Date”). This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

7

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

We are not a party to any legal proceedings and, to our knowledge, no other legal proceedings are pending, threatened or contemplated.

The following are some of the important factors that could affect our financial performance or could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in our forward-looking statements. We may encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.

If we do not obtain additional financing, we may not be able to continue our operations at our Facilities, enter into the proposed Joint Venture with Golden Anvil or complete our exploration and development programs on the Piute Valley Property.

As of July 31, 2012, we had cash on hand of $13,283 and accumulated net loss of $13,406,906 since inception. Our plan of operation calls for significant expenses in connection with the operation of our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility, the entry into the proposed Joint Venture with Golden Anvil, and the exploration and development of our Piute Valley Property. If we are unable to raise sufficient financing there is a substantial risk that we will be unable to meet payments of principal and interest to our creditors and pay our consultants and employees. In addition, we will require substantial financing in order to implement our plan of operation over the next twelve months. There is no assurance that this will satisfy all of our working capital requirements for the next twelve months or that these funds will be sufficient to complete our planned exploration and development programs.

Because we are an exploration stage company, we face a high risk of business failure.

We have commenced earning revenues, although minimal, from the processing of ore at our Phoenix and Scottsdale Facilities. Our primary business activities have involved the acquisition of the Piute Valley Property, the exploration and development on the Piute Valley Property and the commencement of operations at our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by exploration stage companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.

Because we anticipate our operating expenses will increase prior to our earning significant revenues, we may never achieve profitability.

Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses prior to realizing any significant revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the operation of our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility or the exploration and development of our mineral property and the production of minerals thereon, if any, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we may not be able to ever generate any operating revenues or achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

8

Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mining properties, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and our business will fail.

The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We may not find commercially exploitable reserves of precious metals on our mineral claims. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture, necessarily involving substantial risk. The expenditures to be made by us in the upcoming exploration of the mineral claims may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of ore. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.

Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages if and when we conduct mineral exploration activities.

The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, if and when we conduct exploration activities we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

There is no assurance that any or all of our loan to Golden Anvil will be repaid.

Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding with Golden Anvil, we loaned Golden Anvil a total of $983,055 bearing interest at a rate of 18% per annum. There is no assurance that Golden Anvil will complete a transaction for the sale of its assets and repay any or all of our loan.

Even if we discover commercial reserves of precious metals on our Piute Valley Property, we may not be able to successfully obtain commercial production.

Our Piute Valley Property does not contain any known bodies of ore. If our exploration programs are successful in discovering ore of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to place those mineral claims into commercial production. At this time, there is a risk that we will not be able to obtain such financing as and when needed.

In order to maintain our rights to the Piute Valley Property, we will be required to make annual filings with federal and state regulatory agencies and/or be required to complete assessment work on those properties.

In order to maintain our rights to the Piute Valley Property, we will be required to make annual filings with federal and state regulatory authorities. Currently the amount of these fees is minimal; however, these maintenance fees are subject to adjustment. In addition, we may be required by federal and/or state legislation or regulations to complete minimum annual amounts of mineral exploration work on the Piute Valley Property. A failure by us to meet the annual maintenance requirements under federal and state laws could result in the loss of our rights to the Piute Valley Property.

As we undertake exploration of our Piute Valley Property, we will be subject to compliance with government regulation that may increase the anticipated cost of our exploration program.

There are several government regulations that materially restrict the exploration of minerals. We may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with these laws. While our planned exploration program budgets for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program.

9

Certain work to be performed on our mineral projects may require us to apply for permits from federal, state or local regulatory bodies.

If our applications for permits from the relevant regulatory bodies are denied, we may not be able to proceed with our exploration and development programs as disclosed above, which could have a negative effect on our business.

If we receive positive results from our exploration program and we decide to pursue commercial production, we may be subject to an environmental review process that may delay or prohibit commercial production.

If the results of our geological exploration program indicate commercially exploitable reserves, and we decide to pursue commercial production of our mineral property, we may be subject to an environmental review process under environmental assessment legislation. Compliance with an environmental review process may be costly and may delay commercial production. Furthermore, there is the possibility that we would not be able to proceed with commercial production upon completion of the environmental review process if government authorities did not approve our mine or if the costs of compliance with government regulation adversely affected the commercial viability of the proposed mine.

If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may not be able to implement our business plan and our business will fail.

Our success will largely depend on our ability to hire highly qualified personnel with experience in geological exploration. These individuals may be in high demand and we may not be able to attract the staff we need. In addition, we may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by qualified personnel, or may lose such employees after they are hired. Our failure to hire key personnel when needed could have a significant negative effect on our business.

If we complete additional financings through the sale of shares of our common stock, our existing stockholders will experience dilution.

The most likely source of future financing presently available to us is through the issuance of our common stock. The only other anticipated alternative for the financing of further exploration would be the offering by us of an interest in our properties to be earned by another party or parties carrying out further exploration thereof, which is not presently contemplated. Issuing shares of our common stock, for financing purposes or otherwise, will dilute the interests of our existing stockholders.

Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be more limited in their ability to sell their stock.

Our common stock is considered to be a “penny stock” since it does not qualify for one of the exemptions from the definition of “penny stock” under Section 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. Our common stock is a “penny stock” because it meets one or more of the following conditions (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or even if so, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company that has been in business less than three years with net tangible assets less than $5 million.

The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” regulations set forth in Rules 15-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For example, Rule 15g-2 requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably
