1.     ORGANIZATION

The Company, South American Gold Corp., was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on May 25, 2005 with the authorized capital stock of 75,000,000 shares at $0.001 par value. In January 2008, a majority of the shareholders agreed to an increase in the authorized capital stock to 450,000,000 shares at $0.001 par value.

The Company was organized for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties. The Company has not established the existence of a commercially minable ore deposit and therefore is considered to be in the exploration stage.

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The interim financial statements for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited. These financial statements were prepared in accordance with requirements for unaudited interim periods, and consequently do not include all disclosures required to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented have been made. The information for the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012 was derived from audited financial statements. The results of operations for the three ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending June 30, 2013.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue based on FASB Account Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 “Revenue Recognition”. In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenues from service contracts are recognized on a monthly, quarterly or semiannual basis as specified in the terms of a given contract. Revenues from additional services are recognized currently as the work is performed.
 
 
 
 
 



 
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share”. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.  The number of potentially dilutive shares excluded from the EPS calculation was 22,727,273 at September 30, 2012.

Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC 360-10-35-17 if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts might not be recoverable. When the Company determines that an impairment analysis should be done, the analysis will be performed using rules of ASC 930-360-35, Asset Impairment, and 360-10-15-3 through 15-5, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The consolidated financial statements of the Company are translated to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, “Foreign Currency Matters.” Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.

The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to be reversed. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.

On September 30, 2012, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of $4,438,603 for income tax purposes. The tax benefit of approximately $1.5 million from the loss carry forward has been fully offset by a valuation allowance because the future tax benefit is undeterminable since the Company is unable to establish a predictable projection of operating profits for future years. The losses begin to expire in 2025.

Advertising and Market Development

The company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred.

Goodwill

Goodwill consists of the excess of cost of acquired enterprises over the sum of the amounts assigned to identifiable assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually at the beginning of the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if there are indicators that the fair value of the related reporting unit is less than the carrying value of the Goodwill. We compare our fair value, which is determined utilizing both a market value method and discounted projected future cash flows, to our carrying value for the purpose of identifying impairment. Our annual impairment review requires extensive use of accounting judgment and financial estimates.
 
 
 
 

 
 

 

Mineral Property Acquisition and Exploration Costs

Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased. At the end of each fiscal quarter end, the Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment. If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs.

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.

Environmental Requirements

At the report date environmental requirements related to the mineral claim acquired are unknown and therefore any estimate of any future cost cannot be made.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Stock-based compensation

Effective November 9, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employees’ requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The Company adopted ASC 718 using the modified prospective method, which requires the Company to record compensation expense over the vesting period for all awards granted after the date of adoption, and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. Accordingly, financial statements for the periods prior to November 9, 2010 have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation. Adoption of ASC 718 does not change the way the Company accounts for share-based payments to non-employees, with guidance provided by ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
 
 
 
 

 


 
3.    MINERAL PROPERTIES

Kon Tum

In February 2008, the Company purchased the Kon Tum Gold Claim located in Vietnam for $5,000. The Company had not established the existence of a commercially minable ore deposit on the Kon Tum Gold Claim. The claim has no expiry date and only if the Company decides to abandon them will it no longer have an interest in the minerals thereon. The acquisition costs have been impaired and expensed because there has been no exploration activity nor have there been any reserves established and we cannot currently project any future cash flows or salvage value for the coming years and the acquisition costs might not be recoverable. The company has elected to not pursue further activities on these claims nor maintain ownership.

GB Project

On December 14, 2011 the company signed an agreement to purchase one unpatented mining claim and lease nine unpatented mining claims in Yavapai County, Arizona covering approximately two hundred acres. The purchased unpatented claims were for $1,000 and the vendor retained a two percent net smelter return from any future production. The leased claims are for a period of fifteen (15) years; any production subject to a two percent net smelter return to the vendor, and annual lease payments of $750.The company subsequently acquired an additional two unpatented mining claims as part of the GB project by location.

Lucky Boy Silver Project

In December 2011 the company staked five unpatented mining claims in Hawthorne, Nevada covering approximately one hundred acres.

Baltimore Silver Mine Project

On August 6, 2012, the Company signed an agreement to lease, with an option to purchase, the Baltimore Mine located in Western Montana. The lease payment will be $10,000 per year, plus $500 per quarter; or, $2,000 per year in restricted stock at SAGD’s option, provided such restricted stock has a market bid price in excess of $20,000 for the twenty days prior to payment. Payment will be on July 31 of each year beginning July 31, 2013. SAGD may terminate the lease with ninety days’ notice; however, such determination has no bearing on cash payments or issuance of stock to Western prior to the termination of the lease option. The term of the lease is ten years and may be extended for an additional 15 years with a payment of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) at any time.

SAGD will have an option to purchase the property free and clear of any lien or encumbrance, for the term of this agreement, in the amount of five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000), at which time the lease would terminate and no royalty would be due afterwards from the property.

Should SAGD cause to be issued a property report meeting the industry guidelines indicating probable or proven reserves in excess of two million ounces of silver on the property, Western shall receive an additional thirty thousand dollars in cash or restricted shares value determined as (3) above, within thirty days of publication of such report.

The acquisition price of this option was 10,000,000 shares of SAGD restricted stock, based on the contractually stated value of $29,000, using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on August 17, 2012, plus an additional $25,000 payable in the form of cash or restricted common stock, at SAGD’s option, valued at the ten day average bid price for the company’s common stock. This additional $25,000 is payable during the period January 1, 2013 to July 1, 2013. As of September 30, 2012, the Company identified there were indicators of impairment. As such, it conducted a cash flow assessment on this mining lease, and based on that assessment, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $29,000 in its statement of operations.
 
 
 
 
 

 


4.    BUSINESS ACQUISITION

On April 25, 2011, the “Company entered into an Amendment No.1 to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 25, 2011 with Minera Kata S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama, in order to acquire a twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding capital stock of Kata Enterprises, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama (“Kata”), and to revise the terms of the options under which the Company has the ability to acquire the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding capital stock of Kata Enterprises, Inc. In November 2010, Kata entered into an agreement to acquire, through its subsidiary, an eighty-five percent (85%) interest in certain mining concessions located in the Nariño province of Colombia, but Kata has not successfully closed that transaction as of this time. Kata is an entity that has nominal operations and was recently incorporated. The closing of the transaction is conditioned upon the transferor of the Mining Concessions receiving acceptance of an application for a concession contract, executing a concession contract with Ingeominas (the entity authorized by the Colombian Ministry of Mines and Energy to grant mining concession contracts), registration of that contract at the National Mining Registry and securing the requisite approvals and governmental consents for the transfer of the Mining Concessions to Kata’s subsidiary.

In the event that Kata failed to close the transaction by February 25, 2012 and to have the Mining Concessions registered in the National Mining Registry of Colombia in favor of Kata, the Agreement provided that Seller would be obligated to deliver to the Company one-hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding capital stock of Kata without any additional consideration being paid. In such event, the Company will not have acquired any direct or indirect interest in the Mining Concessions and not be entitled to recover any of its exploration expenditures of other expenses incurred in connection with acquiring the 25% Stake, other than its entitlement, indirectly through its subsidiary, to the return of the $500,000 paid to Seller on closing of the Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the Company paid the Seller an additional $50,000 on the Effective Date, in addition to the $500,000 paid in cash at the closing of the Agreement, for the acquisition of the 25% Stake.

The Company follows ASC 810-10 and fully consolidates the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Kata Enterprises, Inc. As a condition of stock purchase agreement, members of the board of directors of each of the acquired companies was required to tender their resignation with the Company subsequently appointing the new members of the board of directors. This effectively provided the Company management control of Kata Enterprises, Inc. as of February 25, 2011, resulting in a consolidation of the financial statements of Kata Enterprises, Inc.

The purchase price of $550,000 for 25% of the shares of Kata Enterprises, Inc. was allocated to the fair values of the assets and liabilities of Kata Enterprises, Inc., and non-controlling interest, as follows:

Assets purchased:
     
Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 6,901  
Mineral property interests
    499,846  
Total assets acquired
    506,747  
         
Liabilities assumed:
       
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities
    160  
Total liabilities assumed
    160  
         
Non-controlling interest:
    1,237,500  
         
Goodwill
  $ 1,280,913  

On November 19, 2011, Kata Enterprises S.A.S. acquired the remaining 15% ownership of Minera Narino S.A.S., for $785. Kata Enterprises S.A.S. assumed liabilities of $4,012 in the acquisition, resulting in Goodwill of $4,797. Due to lack of foreseeable revenues, the Company recorded a related impairment loss on this Goodwill of $4,797 in its statement of operations, as of December 31, 2011.
 
 
 

 


 
Also on November 19, 2011, the Company acquired the remaining 75% ownership of Kata Enterprises Inc. through payment of $10,000. The purchase price of $10,000 was allocated as follows:

Noncontrolling interest - $603,082; Net assets of Kata Enterprises Inc. (75%) - $221,201; Credit to Capital Surplus - $814,283.

The previous fair values assigned to the noncontrolling interest and net assets of Kata Enterprises Inc. were provisional amounts, and the purchase of the remaining noncontrolling interest in November 2011 finalized the purchase accounting.

5.  GOODWILL

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually at the beginning of the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. During fiscal year 2011, we acquired goodwill totaling approximately $1.28 million in connection with the acquisition of Kata Enterprises, Inc. We compared our fair value, utilizing both a market value method and discounted projected future cash flows, to our carrying value for the purpose of identifying impairment. During fiscal year 2011 the Company recorded an impairment loss on goodwill of approximately $1.28 million that relate primarily to indeterminate future cash flow related to the acquisition.

In its acquisition of the remaining 15% of Minera Narino S.A.S., the Company recorded Goodwill in the amount of $4,797. This amount was impaired as of December 31, 2011, due to lack of foreseeable revenues.

6.    CONVERTIBLE NOTE PAYABLE AND DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

Convertible Note Payable
 
On August 8, 2012, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement and convertible note agreement, for $47,500 in cash. The note has a maturity date of May 10, 2013, and carries an interest rate of 8%, per annum. Principal and interest is due on May 10, 2013 and any amount of principal or interest not paid by this date, will accrue interest at 22% per annum. This note, plus accrued interest, is convertible 180 days from the date of the Note, at a variable conversion price of 55% of the lowest three trading prices for the common stock of the Company during the ten trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. Accrued interest on this note, as of September 30, 2012, was $552.

Derivative Liability

The Company has determined that the conversion feature in this note is not indexed to the Company’s stock, and is considered to be a derivative that requires bifurcation. The Company calculated the fair value of this conversion feature using the Black-Scholes model and the following assumptions:  Risk-free interest rate of 0.17%; Dividend rate of 0%; and, historical volatility of 333%. Based on this calculation, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $59,875 and interest expense of $12,375. This derivative will be marked-to-market at each reporting period, with the change in fair value being recorded to the statement of operations. The calculated fair value of the derivative liability at September 30, 2012 was $80,197. The related loss on the derivative liability of $20,323 was recorded in other expense on the statement of operations.

Based on the above calculations, the Company also recorded a discount on debt of $47,500. This discount will be amortized to interest expense over the 9 month term of the convertible note. Total amortization for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 was $9,155.
 
 
 

 


 
7.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

As of September, 2012, the current officers are owed a total of $29,632 for management fees and expenses which are recorded in accounts payable on the balance sheet. Officers-directors also have made contributions to capital of $39,000, since inception, in the form of expenses paid for the Company.

8.    STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT

During January 2006, the Company completed a private placement of post-split 28,000,000 common shares for $4,000 to its directors and a private placement of post-split 7,350,000 common shares for $52,450.

On February 5, 2007, the shareholders approved a forward stock split at the ratio of seven shares for one share of the Company’s common stock. The forward split does not affect the Company’s authorized number of shares of common stock as set forth in its Articles of Incorporation and therefore such authorized number of shares after the forward split was 75,000,000.

The authorized share capital was increased from 75,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 to 450,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001.

On January 18, 2008, the Company has a forward split of its common shares on the basis of 6 new shares for each one old share held. On August 25, 2009, certain creditors of the Company accepted 2,511,890 common shares at a price of $0.05 per share in consideration of amounts owed to them of $125,595. With this split and the shares issued for debt, there are now issued and outstanding 214,611,890 common shares outstanding with a par value of $0.001 per share. The post-split shares have been shown from inception.

On February 8, 2011, the former Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s former Chief Financial Officer agreed to allow the Company to cancel 141,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. No consideration was provided by the Company for the cancellation of shares.

On March 30, 2011, the Company completed a private placement of 5,800,000 Units at a purchase price of $0.25 per Unit to an aggregate of eight non-U.S. persons. The aggregate purchase price we received from the sale of these Units was $1,450,000 of which $1,450,000 was received by the closing date. Each unit is comprised of one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.001, and one (1) common stock purchase warrant to purchase one (1) share of our common stock, exercisable commencing six months after the date of issuance and terminating one (1) year from the closing date of the Private Placement. The exercise price for the Warrant is priced at $0.50 per share. As a result, we sold in the initial closing of the Private Placement a total of 5,800,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase 5,800,000 shares of common stock. The Units were not sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved. No registration rights were granted to the any of the Investors. On April 8, 2011, 5,800,000 common shares were issued pursuant to this private placement. On April 8, 2012 all share purchase warrants in this series expired.

On August 17, 2012, the Company issued 10,000,000 shares of SAGD restricted common stock, valued at $29,000, based on the market value of the stock on the date of issuance, for the acquisition of a lease option on mineral properties.

Stock Options

During the year ended 30 June 2011, the Company granted 2,900,000 stock options to employees and directors of the Company, entitling the holders to purchase common shares of the Company for proceeds of $0.59 per common share expiring March 21, 2021, of which 1,200,000 were granted to employees and 1,700,000 were granted to non-employees of the Company. The fair value of the portion of the options which vested in the period, estimated using Black-Scholes model, was $1,566,378. This amount has been expensed as stock-based compensation.

9.    GOING CONCERN

Our financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles applicable to a going concern. As a result, they do not include adjustments that would be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern and would therefore be obligated to realize assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of operations. The Company does not have sufficient working capital to service its debt or for its planned activity, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s plans are to seek additional debt and equity investment to sustain operations.

10.    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 16, 2012, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement and convertible note agreement for $27,500 in cash. The note has a maturity date of July 18, 2013, and carries an interest rate of 8%, per annum. Principal and interest is due on May 10, 2012 and any amount of principal or interest not paid by this date, will accrue interest at 22% per annum. This note, plus accrued interest, is convertible 180 days from the date of the Note, at a variable conversion price of 55% of the lowest three trading prices for the common stock of the Company during the ten trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date.

As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Company” mean South American Gold Corp., unless otherwise indicated.

Overview

The Company’s current focus is on the acquisition, exploration, and potential development of mining properties in in the United States though we are also seeking mineral property interests in Colombia and Mexico; we also have begun researching the mineral and alternative energy industry in southeastern Europe. Our common stock is currently quoted over-the-counter (the “OTC QB”)under the trading symbol “SAGD”.

We are considered an exploration or exploratory stage company because our business plan is to engage in the examination, investigation and exploration of land that we believe may contain valuable minerals, for the purpose of discovering the presence of ore, if any, and its extent. We have not acquired any mineral property interests at the present and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit will exist on any of the properties underlying any mineral property interests that we may acquire in the future. In order to make any final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of placing any exploration project into production, a great deal of exploration is required. We possess no known reserves of any type of mineral, have not discovered an economically viable mineral deposit and there is no assurance that we will ever discover one. If we cannot acquire or locate mineral deposits, or if it is not economical to recover any mineral deposits that we do find, our business and operations will be materially and adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.

Substantially all of our assets will be put into commercializing mining rights and mineral claims located within a limited geographical area. Accordingly, any adverse circumstances that affect these areas would affect us financially.   If any adverse circumstances were to arise, we would need to consider alternatives, both in terms of our prospective operations and for the financing of our activities. Management cannot provide assurance that we will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash-flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we will continue to experience liquidity problems and management expects that we will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures including ceasing operations. We may also consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required funding to acquire and explore any mineral property interests. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture participant. Even if we determine to pursue a joint venture participant, there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund the acquisition and exploration of mineral property interests. If we enter into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of any mineral property interest we may hold to the joint venture participant.

In connection with our efforts to seek properties in Columbia, we have been monitoring certain changes that the Colombian government is contemplating to its administration of the mining sector, which may include the establishment of new government agencies and regulations which we are unable to determine when this may be finalized, and potentially may adversely impact us by resulting in further delays in implementing plans and increased compliance costs. For reasons which included the foregoing, we have elected to expand our focus to North America and we have acquired mineral property interests in North America and are actively considering projects in North America in addition to Colombia. We have abandoned our plan to acquire an interest in certain mining and mineral rights underlying a prospective concession contact located in the Nariño province of Colombia.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, these efforts resulted in us entering into a Mining Lease and Agreement to lease nine unpatented mining claims situated in Yavapai County, Arizona and purchasing one unpatented mining claim situated in Yavapai County and staking five unpatented mining claims in the western Nevada. We are reviewing data received and results of site visits and preparing for additional exploration activity.
 
 
 

 


Entry into Agreement with Minera Kata S.A. for Acquisition of Equity Interest in Kata Enterprises Inc.

On February 25, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Minera Kata S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama (“Seller”), as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) dated April 25, 2011 (collectively, the “Agreement”), and acquired from Seller twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding capital stock (the “25% Stake”) of Kata Enterprises Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Panama (“Kata”), with an option to acquire from Seller the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) of the outstanding capital stock of Kata in exchange for total consideration of $550,000. We paid Seller partial consideration of $500,000 in cash (the “Closing Payment”) on the Effective Date and the remaining $50,000 in cash upon execution of the Amendment.

In November 2011, we amended the prior agreements to acquire one hundred percent (100%) ownership of Kata S.A. and its related subsidiaries, and all prior agreements were terminated including those related to the mineral concession applications. In exchange for the 100% ownership, we paid $10,000.  We remain in ownership of all data compiled during our exploration activities; maintain a representative office in Colombia, and are monitoring changes in mining regulations and future acquisitions in the country. We expect no direct exploration in Colombia in the fourth quarter.

Exploration Activities- Colombia and Latin America

We have conducted reconnaissance exploration on various locations in the Nariño Mining district primarily to develop better understanding of the geology of the district and to consider a potential acquisition in the area, which would be contingent on securing sufficient financing and regulatory approvals, neither of which can be assured. We have considered and evaluated projects in Colombia outside of the Nariño district and in Bolivia and plan to continue to do the same subject to same financing and regulatory conditions. We anticipate that general exploration activities required to identify and evaluate new prospects would require additional consulting, travel and sampling expense of $50,000 in the current fiscal year. Administrative costs related to our Colombian subsidiaries we estimate at $50,000 for the current year. Our CEO and VP Exploration visited and considered a project in Bolivia in 2011, but due to political uncertainty in was decided after review in the first calendar quarter 2012 to not proceed with negotiations on the property visited. Currently, we maintain a small office in Colombia, and regularly monitor developments in the country.

North American Exploration and Acquisition Activities

We have commenced regular activities to locate and evaluate potential projects in North America. Initial projects under review have been in Mexico (Zactaecas region) and the United States (principally projects in Nevada, Arizona and Montana). These activities included site visits to the lease mining claims in Arizona and the Lucky Boy Silver project in Nevada, and the Baltimore Silver Mine project in Montana, which are discussed below. These efforts include reviewing historical literature, contacting property owners, compiling and reviewing information on properties, and where merited site visits and negotiations with property owners, and in addition exploration preparation for our Arizona claims.
 
 
 

 


 
GB Claims – Arizona

During the reporting period ended December 31, 2011, and consistent with our plan to extend the focus of our exploration activities to North America, we entered into an agreement to lease certain unpatented mining claims in the historical Black Rock Mining District of Yavapai County of Arizona.

Mining and Lease Agreement

On December 14, 2011, we entered into a Mining Lease and Agreement (the “Lease”) with Marilyn Bashore (“Bashore”) to lease nine unpatented mining claims situated in Yavapai County, Arizona (the “Property”).

The Lease granted us the exclusive right to prospect, explore, develop and mine the Property for gold, silver and other minerals. Under the terms of the Lease, we paid Bashore an initial payment of $500 and are required to pay Bashore an annual lease payment of $750 plus a 2% net smelter return on any production. We are required under the terms of the Lease to perform a minimum of $900 in annual assessment work on the Property. The Lease is for a fifteen (15) year term, but shall continue into perpetuity to the extent that minerals are produced and continue to be produced on the Property.

Also on December 14, 2011, we purchased from Bashore one unpatented mining claim situated in Yavapai County (the “Claim”). As consideration for the Claim, we paid Bashore $1,000. There was no purchase agreement documenting our acquisition of the Claim and the Claim was sold, transferred and conveyed by Bashore to us by executing and delivering to us a quitclaim deed.

Description of Property

In connection with  our consideration of entering into the Lease, we conducted a diligence review of the Property. The description of Property contained herein is the product of our due diligence. Further description is available in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Property Description and Location

Leased Claims

The nine unpatented mining claims underlying the Lease cover approximately one hundred and eighty (180) acres and are located in the Black Rock Mining District of Yavapai County, Arizona. Set forth below are the claim reference numbers.

Exploration Plans

The project area is an early stage prospect with potential identified to date from reconnaissance exploration. The initial objective is to identify the presence of and extent of breccia pipes on the Property. This will require an initial work plan of geologic mapping, surface sampling and soil analysis, after which a more comprehensive plan would be developed with an objective of identifying drill targets and developing a Plan of Operation to be filed with the BLM for permission to conduct such an exploration program.

The Company has additional geological mapping to be done, and we are in the process of preparing additional site visits to investigate adjacent territory and on the existing unpatented mining claims identify areas for soil sampling and preliminary identification of drill targets. Once done we will prepare a Plan of Operations for the required approvals. The budget for these and forecast subsequent steps is $50,000 and included in the company-wide exploration budget provided below. A key objective is sampling the breccias pipes to guide potential drilling activity.

Lucky Boy Silver Project - Nevada

Lucky Boy Silver Project

In December 2011, we staked five unpatented mining claims in the Walker Lane Mineral Belt in western Nevada which we are referring to as the “Lucky Boy Silver Project”.

In connection with our consideration of whether to stake these unpatented mining claims, we conducted a diligence review of the Lucky Boy Silver Project. The description of the Lucky Boy Silver Project contained herein is the product of our due diligence from an initial site visits conducted in December 2011 and certain historical information publicly available which we have not been able to independently verify. Further description of the project may be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012..

Land Status

We staked the following five unpatented mining claims in December 2011 covering approximately 100 acres of the Lucky Boy Silver Project:

Exploration Plans

Initial exploration work that has begun is and will entail geologic mapping, data compilation and review, and to the extent justified surface sampling and sampling from accessible underground areas. Reconnaissance exploration indicates that there may limited potential from surface, exploration, drilling and underground access is key to determining future potential of the Lucky Boy Silver Project.

Our exploration plan would be divided into three phases, and execution of these plans is dependent on results from earlier phases and the availability of capital. The key strategic objective is to determine whether the mineralization extends at depth with a sufficient grade to permit a preliminary assessment to the potential for commercial mining. Initial funding required for exploration is estimated at $50,000 to cover consulting fees and expenses, systematic soil and surface sampling, identification of nearby properties that may be acquired to improve access, and develop a plan for drilling any established targets. Historical information suggests that there are may not be prospective for positive results from near-surface exploration, hence the company exploration plan would be focused on two key objectives (a) determine mineralization at depth (in excess of 1500 feet) or identify parallel structures to areas of historic mining. If drill targets are established, we would foresee a Phase II exploration plan of $450,000, but the implementation of such plan is contingent on us securing sufficient financing which cannot be assured.
 
 
 

 



Baltimore Silver Mine

Lease with Option to Purchase Baltimore Silver Mine

On August 6, 2012, the Company entered into a binding Memorandum of Understanding (the “Agreement”) with Western Continental, Inc. (“Western”) to lease with option to purchase three patented mining claims ( the “Baltimore Silver Mine”) subject to a definitive agreement to be signed within ninety days, with an effective lease date of August 3, 2012. Our Current Report on Form 8-K filed August 9, 2012 provided property information and is incorporated herein by reference.

Western, and the Company have agreed to a Definitive Agreement (“the Agreement”) to Lease with Option to Purchase the Baltimore Silver Mine. SAGD effected the agreement September 5, 2012 .The lease will be for a term of ten years beginning August 2, 2012, and may be extended for an additional 15 years with a payment of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) at any time. During the term of this lease SAGD will be responsible for the payment of any property taxes, indemnify Western for any and all activities SAGD conducts on the property, and secure all required permits and operating licenses for the Company  activities on the property. The lease payment will be $10,000 per year in cash payments, which may be paid in restricted stock as the Company’s option provided such restricted stock has a market bid price in excess of $20,000 for the 20 days average bid price for the stock prior to payment, and a quarterly cash payment of $500.00 per quarter.

Description of Property

Land Status
 
The property consists of three patented mining claims covering approximately sixty acres.
Name of Claim Mineral Survey #
Last Hope 9689
Baltimore 1540
Mona 9689

The Company has also staked two unpatented claims as part of the project, thus the project as a whole contains approximately one hundred (100) acres.

Location

The Baltimore Mine property is located in Jefferson County Montana, approximately twenty two miles northeast of Butte, MT and four miles northwest of Boulder, MT. Coordinates are Section 7, Township 6 N, Range 4W, Jefferson County, Montana. The Company is collating information and preparing general maps on the project.

Access

Access is generally from Boulder by four miles of unimproved county road thence along the Boomerang Creek Road.

Climate and Physiography

The climate is relatively temperate allowing work generally all year around. The mine is on the eastern slope area of Sugarloaf Mountain, with ridges one thousand foot above the main valley. Elevations on the property range from 6,250 feet on ridge top to 5,800 feet above sea level near the Baltimore Mine. Vegetation consists of mostly sage but stands of conifers are common on the north slopes.

Local Resources

There are sufficient local resources for general material and supplies, and general labor. Electric power lines are within a mile of the property and water supply appears adequate for the property, though an assessment will be required for water supply for expanded drilling programs and future potential milling requirements.

Geology

The geology of the area is dominated by the monzonites of the Butte Batholith intruding into the older Elkhorn volcanics, consisting of green-gray welded tuffs and and sites. East-westerly striking pyrite-galena bearing quartz veins have been deposited along or near to fault or shear zones with some Scricitic alteration. The Baltimore shear or alteration zone can be traced can be traced over five thousand feet on the surface.

Metallurgy

The Company has no metallurgical tests relating to the property, nor historical information as to recoveries of metal from ore formerly produced.

Reserves and Mineralized Material

There are no established reserves or mineralized material on the property according to available information on the project.

History and Historical Information on the Property

The following information has been provided by independent sources not been independently verified by the Company but provided for general informational purposes, and it should not be assumed that prior production results are an indication of potential future results.

The mine apparently was discovered in the nineteenth century with regular shipments ore reported in 1903 by lessees, and two thousand feet of workings. In 1907, it was reported the mine had six adits and a 140 foot shaft. In 1912, 60 men were employed at the mine, and it was extended an additional six hundred feet. By 1935 the underground workings were estimated at three thousand feet of crosscuts and drifts, and with tunnels. In 1960 it was reported that the mine had produced 18,148 tons of ore which yielded 1,734 ounces of gold, 275,489 ounces of silver, and 271,266 pounds of copper, 1,273,965 pounds of lead and 280,750 pounds of zinc. Past production is no indicator of future production potential which can only be determined through additional information on the property.

Limited sampling was conducted on the property in 1966, 1979, and in 1989, a 4,985 foot drilling program was conducted on the property. The Company is reviewing assays from these programs and working to correlate to available assay maps and considers that data contained as encouraging further exploration.

Development Work on the Property

The underground workings of the property include six tunnels reported by 1960 and a shaft at a vertical interval of four hundred feet, and three thousand feet of underground workings. Prior operator reports indicates that four of these tunnels the Hope Tunnel, Tunnel No. 4, 5, and 6,were evidently designed to explore the northeastern vein structure of the property.

The Company is considering a budget for rehabilitation of the Portals to gain further underground access.

Exploration Plan

The Company’s initial plans include compiling and reviewing all historical information on the property, and conducting initial site visits to determine costs and schedules for geological mapping, and status of the underground workings, and determining the optimum exploration plan based on this initial work. Our exploration plan will focus on confirming historic grades, and targeting areas that may yield commercial grades and sufficient tonnages to justify rehabilitation of underground workings and drilling to delineate potential ore reserves. This preliminary assessment will consider initial approximate cost estimates including the availability of any regional milling facilities. The Company estimates a budget of five to fifty thousand dollars may be required in initial stages of exploration.

We have begun our Phase I exploration which has included a thorough review of the current status of access to the tunnels ad underground workings, having a professional geologist and a mining engineer work on the property. We have completed an initial survey of the dump material, and review of the historical literature. Exploration objectives include (a) further determination of the economics of processing the dump material (b) rehabilitation work to gain access further underground to conduct channel sampling and determiniing drill targets (c) detailed geologic mapping. We believe that while some potential is in identifying mineralized areas former mining with limited technology may have missed that there may be much deeper exploration targets to be tested form underground or surface drilling. We also intent to prepare the necessary plan of operatons for the unpatented portion of the project, and consider applications for any state mining permits.

Summary Exploration Plans

Exploration work continues to advance knowledge of the areas, conduct surveying and geologic mapping activities, determine prime areas for soil sediment sampling and re-sampling prospects pits we believe present. Our primary objective during Phase I exploration is identifying drill targets, preparing logistical arrangements for a drilling plan, begin assembling data necessary for a Plan of Operations to be submitted to the BLM, which has been submitted and preparation for data to support our subsequent applications for regulatory approval of exploration activities, and review data of prior exploration in the area along with field work to verify historical data. We plan in the second quarter to expand these activities. Our Phase II exploration phase, subject to results and timing of the completion Phase I exploration and regulatory approvals. We are forecasting subject to capital availability and timing of regulatory approvals required to explore in the area, a company budget of approximately $600,000 for our projects over the next 18 months. We also are actively considering projects for acquisition in Mexico in addition to the United States and Colombia, and expect general due diligence, exploration and initial acquisition expenses over the next 18 months at $150,000, for a total operating budget of $750,000 over 18 months, subject to availability of capital, permits and recommendations of our technical staff and consultants.

Based on initial field work at the Baltimore Silver Mine has been sufficiently positive to date that management has designated this project as our main project for the current period.

Our current cash on hand is insufficient to complete any of the planned exploration activities and the full implementation of our planned exploration program is dependent on our ability to secure sufficient financing and the necessary permits.  We can provide no assurance that we will secure sufficient financing or that any required permits will be approved.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
 
Revenues

We have not generated any revenues from operations since our inception. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time that we are able, if at all, to locate a commercially exploitable mineral deposit and either enter into commercial production or sell any mineral properties we may acquire.

Operating Expenses
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $82,627 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to operating expenses of $339,643 for the three months ended September 31, 2011. The decrease in our operating expenses relates to decreased expenditures associated with performing initial diligence of the property underlying the Mining Concessions that was the subject of the IKE-10421 concession application for which Kata, through its subsidiary, had entered into an agreement to acquire an eighty-five percent (85%) interest.

We incurred exploration costs of $15,272 during the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to $121,274 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in our exploration costs relates to decreased expenditures associated with performing initial diligence of the property underlying the Mining Concessions that was the subject of the IKE-10421 concession application for which Kata, through its subsidiary, had entered into an agreement to acquire an eighty-five percent (85%) interest.
 
 
We incurred general and administrative expenses of $38,355 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $218,369 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease of $180,014 relates to decreases in accounting, consulting, and legal fees. Other general and administrative costs also decreased as we had no activity in our Kata subsidiary during the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to 2011.
Other Income (Expenses)

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded interest expense of $22,082, which was comprised of accrued interest on the convertible note payable of $552, interest expense related to the recording of a derivative liability that exceeded the face value of the convertible note payable, of $12,375, and amortization of debt discount, of $9,155. For the same time period, the Company also recorded a loss on derivative liability of $20,323 for the loss resulting from remeasuring the derivative liability at September 30, 2012. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded only interest income of $4,566 related to interest income received from cash balances during that period.

Net Loss

As a result of the above, for the three months ended September 30, 2012, we reported a net loss of $125,032, as compared to a net loss of $335,077 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in our net losses was primarily attributable to decreased operating expenses incurred during the reporting period, which is described above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2012, we had cash of $33 (June 30, 2012 -$87) and a working capital deficit $359,199 (June 30, 2012 – $261,895).

We anticipate spending approximately $15,000 in general and administrative expenses per month for the next twelve months, for a total anticipated general and administrative expenditures $180,000.  These anticipated expenditures are closely related to the level of activities we have contemplated in our business plan. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to our regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees, general management and office expenses. General support activities, additional organizational supervision of subsidiaries in the process of acquisition or contemplated to be acquired, and general management costs contribute to the forecasted increase in general and administrative expenditures. We currently forecast ongoing exploration activities at $750,000 for the upcoming 18 months.  We are forecasting subject to capital availability and timing of regulatory approvals required to explore in the area.

Our current cash on hand is insufficient to be able to fully implement our business plan as planned. Accordingly, we must obtain additional financing in order to meet our projected property activities and maintain operations. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding exploration as we have limited tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of additional shares of our common stock. We anticipate seeking additional funding in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock, but cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our exploration program or maintain operations for any period of time. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to commence our exploration program may be forced to cease operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures.

We may consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required funding to explore the properties underlying our mineral property interests. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture participant. Even if we determine to pursue a joint venture participant, there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund exploration of the properties underlying our mineral property interests. If we enter into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in our mineral property interests to the joint venture participant.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $46,282, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $111,904 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Our net loss of $335,077 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was the primary reason for our negative operating cash flow, which was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $219,145; for the three months for the period ended September 30, 2012 we had a net loss of $125,032 partially offset by non-cash property impairment of $29,000.

Net cash  used  by investing activities for the three  months ended September 30, 2012 was $1,250 as compared to net cash used or provided in investing activities of $-0- for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Net cash provided in financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2012 related to proceeds from a  convertible note issued for  $47,500 compared to -0- in the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet debt, nor did we have any transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or other persons that may have material current or future effects on financial conditions, changes in the financial conditions, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenue or expenses.

Going Concern

We have incurred net losses attributable to South American Gold Corp. for the period from inception on May 25, 2005 to September 30, 2012 of $4,645,317 and have no source of revenue. The continuity of our future operations is dependent on our ability to obtain financing and upon future acquisition, exploration and development of profitable operations from our mineral properties. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. For a full discussion of our accounting policies as required by GAAP, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012. We consider certain accounting policies to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements because their application requires significant judgment and reliance on estimations of matters that are inherently uncertain. The specific risks related to these critical accounting policies are unchanged at the date of this report and are described in detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2012. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Raymond DeMotte, and our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Cristian Gomez. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective. Our conclusion is based primarily on the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting which was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012, which we believe primarily stems from the fact that we had limited accounting and financial staff during the year ended June 30, 2012 which did not possess the requisite qualifications.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, no changes other than those made in conjunction with certain remediation efforts described below, were identified to our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses

As discussed above, as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to the occurrence of a significant number of out-of-period adjustments and the magnitude of such that were identified during the financial statement closing process for those periods which we believe primarily stems from the fact that we have limited accounting and financial staff who do not possess the requisite qualifications. We are currently addressing these material weaknesses as described below.

With respect to our limited accounting and financial staff, in September 2010,  we appointed Mr. DeMotte to serve as our Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Velasquez to serve as our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. Mr. DeMotte has previously served in accounting and finance positions during his career and has earned an MBA. Mr. Velasquez has post-graduate studies in business and finance and has also served in various accounting and financial reporting positions throughout his career. On March 11, 2011, our board of directors unanimously resolved to create an Audit Committee. The Audit Committee includes two independent directors and Mr. Velasquez. The Chairman of the Audit Committee has in excess of 35 years experience in finance and accounting. In addition, we have engaged as a consultant an accounting specialist to assist us in the preparation of financial information required for our periodic reports. The addition of personnel with financial and accounting expertise has enabled us to implement a system of dual-approval for invoices received and payments made and further evaluate our existing financial close process. In April 2012,  Mr. Velasquez resigned to pursue other interests with no disagreement with the Company, and he was replaced by Mr. Cristian Gomez as CFO in May 2012.

We are currently redesigning our accounting processes and related controls to provide greater assurance that our accounting and related financial disclosures can be completed accurately and in a timely manner. We are also in the process of developing sufficient written policies and procedures.

Management, in coordination with the input, oversight and support of the audit committee of our board of directors, has identified the above-mentioned measures to strengthen our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and to address the material weaknesses described above. We began implementing these measures in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2011, we were expect these remedial actions to be effectively implemented by the end of the prior fiscal year, but to limited staffing we believe these actions will not be complete until the upcoming new fiscal year of 2013.

If the remedial measures described above are insufficient to address any of the identified material weaknesses or are not implemented effectively, or if additional deficiencies arise in the future, material misstatements in our interim or annual financial statements may occur in the future. Among other things, any unremediated material weaknesses could result in material post-closing adjustments in future financial statements.
