First Colombia Gold Corp.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)
30 June 2013

 
 

1.  
Nature, Basis of Presentation and Continuance of Operations

First Colombia Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S.A. under the name “Gondwana Energy, Ltd.” on 5 September 1997. On 23 January 2007, the Company changed its name to “Finmetal Mining Ltd.”. On 27 November 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Finmetal Mining OY (“Finmetal OY”), a company incorporated under the laws of Finland. During the fiscal year ended 31 December 2006, the Company changed its operational focus from development of oil and gas properties, to acquisition of, exploration for and development of mineral properties in Finland.
 
On 22 May 2008, the Company changed its name to “Amazon Goldsands Ltd.” and on 18 September 2008, the Company entered into a Mineral Rights Option Agreement and concurrently re-focused on the acquisition of, exploration for and development of mineral properties located in Peru. On 29 November 2010, the Company changed its name to “First Colombia Gold Corp.”. The Company changed its name pursuant to a parent/subsidiary merger between the Company (as Amazon Goldsands Ltd.) and its wholly-owned non-operating subsidiary, First Colombia Gold Corp., which was established for the purpose of giving effect to this name change. In 2011 the Company expanded geographic focus to include North America, acquiring two mineral property interests while terminating its agreements related to the mineral property located in Peru in September 2011.
 
The Company is an exploration stage enterprise, as defined in Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification” or “ASC”) 915-10, “Development Stage Entities”. The Company is devoting all of its present efforts in securing and establishing a new business. Its planned principal operations have not commenced and no revenue has been derived during the organization period.
 
The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of exploration properties and the Company’s continued existence are dependent upon the preservation of its interest in the underlying properties, the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write downs of the carrying values.
 
Although the Company has taken steps to verify the title to the properties on which it is conducting exploration and in which it has an interest, in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
 
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Finmetal OY, a company incorporated under the laws of Finland, since its date of acquisition on 27 November 2006 and the results of Beardmore Holdings, Inc. (“Beardmore”), a company incorporated under the laws of Panama, to the date of disposal on 21 September 2011.

 
 
 
 


First Colombia Gold Corp.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)
(Unaudited – Prepared by Management)
30 June 2013

 


The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to exploration stage enterprises, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is 31 December.

The Company’s interim consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2013 and for the six month period then ended have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

The Company had a net loss of $176,878 for the six month period ended 30 June 2013 (30 June 2012 - $122,746, cumulative - $19,264,648) and has a working capital deficit of $373,985 at 30 June 2013 (31 December 2012 – $570,498), but management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. The Company’s solvency, ability to meet its liabilities as they become due and to continue its operations, is essentially solely dependent at present on funding provided by Asher Enterprises, Inc. (“Asher”). If Asher is unwilling to provide ongoing funding to the Company and/or if the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the immediate future, the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favourable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures or cease operations. This material uncertainty may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern including adjustments related to employee severance pay and other costs related to ceasing operations.

2.  
Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements.

Principles of consolidation

All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in these interim consolidated financial statements.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

Property and equipment

Furniture, computer equipment, office equipment and computer software are carried at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives at rates as follows:

Furniture, computer and office equipment
    30 %
Computer software
    100 %

The property and equipment is written down to its net realizable value if it is determined that its carrying value exceeds estimated future benefits to the Company.

Mineral property costs

Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased. At the end of each fiscal quarter, 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 interim consolidated 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.

Segments of an enterprise and related information

ASC 280, “Segment Reporting” establishes guidance for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in financial statements issued to the public. It also establishes standards for disclosures regarding products and services, geographic areas and major customers. ASC 280 defines operating segments as components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Environmental costs

Environmental expenditures that are related to current operations are charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to operations. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitments to a plan of action based on the then known facts.

Comparative figures

Certain comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Comprehensive loss

ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at 30 June 2013, the Company did not have items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the interim consolidated financial statements.

Foreign currency translation

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is U.S. dollars. The interim 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 interim consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

Stock-based compensation

Effective 1 January 2006, 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, the financial statements for the periods prior to 1 January 2006 have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing stock-based compensation. The adoption of ASC 718 did not change the way the Company accounts for stock-based payments to non-employees, with guidance provided by ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”.

Long-lived assets impairment

Long-term assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC 360-10-35-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations (undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Fair value is generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.

Financial instruments

The carrying value of accounts payable and convertible promissory notes approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company’s financial risk is the risk that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

Basic and diluted loss per share

The Company computes net 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 loss available to common stockholders (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 was anti-dilutive.

Income taxes

Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax losses and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.

Convertible debt

The Company has adopted ASC 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options” and applies this guidance retrospectively to all periods presented upon those fiscal years. ASC 470-20 requires the liability and equity components to be separately accounted for in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The Company will allocate a portion of the proceeds received from the issuance of convertible notes between a liability and equity component by determining the fair value of the liability component using the Company’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The difference between the proceeds of the notes and the fair value of the liability component will be recorded as a discount on the debt with a corresponding offset to paid-in capital. The resulting discount will be accreted by recording additional non-cash interest expense over the expected life of the convertible notes using the effective interest rate method.

Asset retirement obligations

The Company has adopted ASC 410, “Assets Retirement and Environmental Obligations”, which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. ASC 410 requires the Company to record a liability for the present value of the estimated site restoration costs with a corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived assets. The liability will be accreted and the asset will be depreciated over the life of the related assets. Adjustments for changes resulting from the passage of time and changes to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate underlying the obligation will be made. As at 30 June 2013, the Company did not have any asset retirement obligations.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-07, “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The objective of this Update is to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting and to provide principles for the measurement of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting, as well as any required disclosures. ASU No. 2013-07 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning after 15 December 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update will have a material effect on its interim consolidated financial statements.

In April 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-06, “Not-for-Profit Entities”. The objective of this Update is to address the diversity in practice about what guidance not-for-profit entities should apply for recognizing and measuring personnel services received from an affiliate, that is, a party that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the recipient not-for-profit entity. ASU No. 2013-06 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after 15 June 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update will have a material effect on its interim consolidated financial statements.

In March 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters”. The amendments in this update resolve the diversity in practice about whether Subtopic 810-10, “Consolidation – Overall”, or Subtopic 830-30, “Foreign Currency Matters - Translation of Financial Statements”, applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business (other than a sale of in substance real estate or conveyance of oil and gas mineral rights) within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this update resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. ASU No. 2013-05 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after 15 December 2013, with early adoption permitted, and should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update will have a material effect on its interim consolidated financial statements.

In February 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, “Liabilities”. This update requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of: (1) the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (2) any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. ASU No. 2013-04 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after 15 December 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update will have a material effect on its interim consolidated financial statements.

13.  
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

A fair value hierarchy was established that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The fair values of the financial instruments were determined using the following input levels and valuation techniques:

 
Level 1:
classification is applied to any asset or liability that has a readily available quoted market price from an active market where there is significant transparency in the executed/quoted price.

 
Level 2:
classification is applied to assets and liabilities that have evaluated prices where the data inputs to these valuations are observable either directly or indirectly, but do not represent quoted market prices from an active market.

 
Level 3:
classification is applied to assets and liabilities when prices are not derived from existing market data and requires us to develop our own assumptions about how market participants would price the asset or liability.

As at 30 June 2013, the carrying amounts of accounts payable and convertible promissory notes approximated their estimated fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

As at 30 June 2013, the carrying amount of long-term debt and other financing was $90,000 (31 December 2012 - $Nil).

The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature was estimated at $60,000 (31 December 2012 – $81,077), and was recorded as a component of equity, of which $60,000 (31 December 2012 - $81,077) would be a Level 1 fair value and $Nil (31 December 2012 - $Nil) would be a Level 2 fair value.

Credit Risk
 
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises primarily from the Company’s cash and cash equivalents. The Company manages its credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents by dealing only with highly-rated United States financial institutions. As a result, credit risk is considered insignificant.
 
Currency Risk
 
The majority of the Company’s cash flows and financial assets and liabilities are denominated in US dollars, which is the Company’s functional and reporting currency. Foreign currency risk is limited to the portion of the Company’s business transactions denominated in currencies other than the US dollar.
 
The Company monitors and forecasts the values of net foreign currency cash flow and balance sheet exposures and from time to time could authorize the use of derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of foreign currency fluctuations. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
 
Liquidity Risk
 
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows and matching the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities. The Company had a working capital deficit of $373,985 at 30 June 2013 (31 December 2012 – $570,498), but management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital.
 
Other Risks
 
Unless otherwise noted, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk and commodity price risk.

risk that we are not able to meet the requirements of agreements under which we acquired our options to acquire mineral property interests, including any cash payments to on the option or any exploration obligations that we have regarding these properties, which could result in the loss of our right to exercise these options to acquire certain mining and mineral rights underlying these properties;

the risk that we will be unable to pay our debt obligations as they become due or comply with the covenants contained in agreements with debt holders;

risk that we will be unable to secure additional financing in the near future in order to commence and sustain our planned exploration work and be forced to cease our exploration and development program;

risk that we cannot attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel, particularly employees, consultants and contractors for our operations in the United States;

risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits;

results of initial feasibility, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, and the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with our expectations;

mining and development risks, including risks related to accidents, equipment breakdowns, labor disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in production;

the potential for delays in exploration or development activities or the completion of feasibility studies;
 
 
 
 

 


risks related to the inherent uncertainty of production and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses;

risks related to commodity price fluctuations;

the uncertainty of profitability based upon our history of losses;

risks related to failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms for our planned exploration and development projects;

risks related to environmental regulation and liability;

risks that the amounts reserved or allocated for environmental compliance, reclamation, post-closure control measures, monitoring and on-going maintenance may not be sufficient to cover such costs;

●           risks related to tax assessments;

●           political and regulatory risks associated with mining development and exploration; and

●           other risks and uncertainties related to our prospects, properties and business strategy.

The foregoing list is not an exhaustive list of the factors that may affect any of our forward-looking statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements.

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

Corporate History

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name Gondwana Energy, Ltd. on September 5, 1997, and previously operated under the name Finmetal Mining Ltd. and Amazon Goldsands Ltd. Our operations have historically focused on the acquisition and development of mineral property interests in varying locations, including Finland and Peru. The current focus of our business and operations is on the development of our mineral property interests on properties located in the western United States and we are evaluating mineral property interests and seeking opportunities in other geographical areas, including Colombia and Bolivia, to potentially acquire.

As described in more detail below, we no longer have any interest in any properties located in northeastern Peru. For reasons which include our inability to secure sufficient financing to be able to cure our default on notes we used to finance our acquisition of the property interests in Peru, we reached an agreement to relinquish our entire interest in the property interests in Peru in exchange for the cancellation of such notes and related outstanding obligations.

In 2011, we reviewed potential properties for acquisition in Colombia, and expanded our focus to North America which resulted in our acquiring certain mineral property interests in Montana and Idaho in late 2011. Company personnel and consultants are planning our exploration plans, conducting site visits, and reviewing several projects for potential acquisition, and in 2012, we added to our mineral property position through the acquisition of the Skip claims in Montana. We further expanded our operations in Montana through signing a memorandum of understanding concerning the Nile Mine project in April 2013. In June 30, 2013 we staked a uranium prospect in the Pacific Northwest, and during the quarter conducted sampling at our Boulder Hill prospect. The company is considering various strategic options considering the difficult financing situation faced by the company within the junior mining sector.
 
 
 
 

 


 
 
Exploration Stage Company

We are considered an exploration or exploratory stage company because we are involved in the examination and investigation of land that we believe may contain valuable minerals, for the purpose of discovering the presence of ore, if any, and its extent. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of the properties underlying our mineral property interests, and a great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility for our future exploration is determined. We have no known reserves of any type of mineral. To date, we have not discovered an economically viable mineral deposit on any of the properties underlying our mineral property interests, and there is no assurance that we will 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.

We consider ourselves a project generation company such that using our experience and industry contacts we acquire projects for exploration, development or advancing through joint-venture, or where management determines the better alternative is selling all or an interest in a project, it will consider such a possibility. As such the Company is regularly considering new projects through evaluation of historical records and discussions with industry contacts.

Description of our Mineral Property Interests

South Idaho Silver Project

On December 7, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a Assignment and Assumption Agreement (“Castle Creek Assignment Agreement”) with Castle Creek Silver Inc. (“Castle Creek”), an Idaho corporation, and Robert Ebisch (“Ebisch”). Castle Creek and Ebisch are parties to an Option to Purchase and Royalty Agreement dated July 15, 2011 (the “Castle Creek Option Agreement”), for Castle Creek’s option to acquire an undivided 100% of the right, title and interest of Ebisch in and to the PB 7, 9, 11, 12, 23, 25, 27, and 29 lode mining claims (IMC #’s, respectively, 196852, 196854, 196856, 196857, 196866, 196867, 196868, and 196869), situated in Owyhee County, Idaho, (hereinafter together with any form of successor or substitute mineral tenure called the “South Idaho Silver Project”). Pursuant to the terms of the Castle Creek Assignment Agreement, Castle Creek transferred and assigned us all of its right, title and interest, in, to and under the Castle Creek Option Agreement and we assumed the assignment of the Castle Creek Option Agreement agreeing to be bound, the same extent as Castle Creek, to the terms and conditions of the Castle Creek Option Agreement. As consideration for the Castle Creek Assignment Agreement, we issued Castle Creek 1,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock and are obligated to pay Castle Creek $50,000 in cash within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date, which is December 7, 2012(unpaid and waived) and Castle Creek will be entitled to a 1% net smelter return (“NSR”) from any ore produced from the South Idaho Silver Project. At any time from the Effective Date, we have the right to acquire the 1% NSR payable to Castle Creek for $250,000.The Assignment Agreement includes customary representations and warranties. Under the terms of the Assignment Agreement, Castle Creek and Ebisch have agreed to indemnify us from claims resulting from any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Castle Creek or Ebisch in the Castle Creek Assignment Agreement and for any breaches of any representations, warranties, obligations, terms or covenants of either Castle Creek or Ebisch under or pursuant to the Castle Creek Option Agreement.

The Castle Creek Option Agreement and assignment of Castle Creek’s right, title and interest, in, to and under the Castle Creek Option Agreement provide that we will have exercised the option to acquire an undivided 100% of Ebisch’s right, title and interest in and to the South Idaho Silver Project after incurring an aggregate of $210,000 in exploration expenditures, paying Ebisch an aggregate of $80,000 plus five per cent (5%) of any joint-venture and buyout payments (hereafter referred to as “JV&BP”) and paying filing fees over the term of the Option Agreement. The Castle Creek Option Agreement provides that the cash payments payable to Ebisch shall be made according to the following schedule:
 
 
 
 

 



           $2,500 on or before January 31, 2012 plus five per cent (5%) of any JV&BP; ( this payment has been made)

We have received a waiver from the property owner for September 15, 2012 payments and work commitments, and a waiver through 2013 for all property payments and work commitments.

The Castle Creek Option Agreement provides that the exploration expenditures of an aggregate of not less than $210,000 on the South Idaho Silver Project shall be incurred as follows:

The eight unpatented mining claims are numbered PB 7 (IMC # 196852), PB 9 (IMC # 196854), PB 11 (IMC # 196856), PB 12 (IMC # 196857), PB 23 (IMC # 196866), PB 25 (IMC # 196867), PB 27 (IMC # 196868), and PB 29 (IMC # 196869).

Our ability to explore and mine the South Idaho Silver Project depends on the validity of title to the South Idaho Silver Project. The South Idaho Silver Project consists of unpatented mining claims. Maintenance of rights to unpatented mining claims contain certain requirements including sufficiency of mineral discovery, proper posting and marking of boundaries, failure to meet statutory guidelines, assessment work and possible conflicts with other claims. We have not obtained a title opinion or title insurance on the underlying unpatented claims at this exploration stage.

Accessibility, Climate, Local resources, Infrastructure, Physiography

Topography, Elevation, and Vegetation

The South Idaho Silver Project is a steeply-incised drainage that drops about two hundred meters from the peneplain that lies to the immediate north. The elevation of the South Idaho Silver Project is about 1200 meters above mean sea level. Vegetation consists primarily of sagebrush and short grasses.

Accessibility

The South Idaho Silver Project is readily accessible from Nampa, Idaho, which lies on Federal Interstate Highway 84. Nampa is the nearest large town that has services necessary for mineral exploration and mining. From Nampa, paved State Highway 78 is followed about 43 miles to the south to the Oreana turnoff. From there, about 3 miles of paved road and 6 miles of dirt road lead to the property. Unimproved tracks provide access to the claim group. Road access to the south side of the South Idaho Silver Project is limited. Mechanized work there may require construction of a temporary creek crossing, although one unimproved road crosses the South Idaho Silver Project at a ford.

Climate

The climate is semi-arid with roughly 5 inches per year precipitation. Summer temperatures may rise to 104 degrees Fahrenheit while winter temperatures may fall to as low as -14 degrees Fahrenheit . The South Idaho Silver Project is commonly subject to strong winds. The South Idaho Silver Project can be accessed year-round because of the mild climate, good road access, and low elevation of about 3.937 feet above mean sea level.

Water Rights, Power, and Mining Personnel

The status of water rights at the South Idaho Silver Project is uncertain. The amount of water in the vicinity of the South Idaho Silver Project is adequate for exploratory drilling, but probably not for mineral processing. The nearest power lines are about 6 miles distant. Mining personnel are not available locally.

The most important natural feature on the South Idaho Silver Project is a perennial stream called castle creek. During the summer, it has estimated that it flows at a minimum rate of several hundred gallons per minute. A temporary water withdrawal permit from the State of Idaho would be required for drill water. If such a permit would be granted, water might be pumped to any drill site, with a substantial cost savings on water truck rental and driver wages. There is no assurance such a permit would be granted, and if granted requirements to such a permit would be cost-effective.
 
 
 
 

 



 
 
Tailings Storage Areas, Waste Disposal Areas, and Plant Sites

We have not identified private land adjacent to the South Idaho Silver Project or within close proximity that could be used for potential storage areas, waste disposal or processing sites. There is public land in the vicinity, but it is unknown whether permits would be granted for such uses.

Previous Exploration History

There is no verifiable information that the South Idaho Silver Project was a producing property in the past. Prior site visits indicate that up to one hundred meters of historic underground workings exist on the South Idaho Silver Project. These may have been completed approximately 100 years ago. It is unknown the state of repair of these workings and the extent of accessibility. No mineralized material or reserves have been identified or quantified on the South Idaho Silver Project. No known production has come from the South Idaho Silver Project.

In 2008, two private individuals located various mining claims in the area including those described herein and leased to a private exploration company, Castle Creek, which retained a professional geologist whose site visits and data review, are the primary source of the historical information described herein.

Geological Setting and Local Geology

The South Idaho Silver Project lies upon the margins of the Snake River Plain, a vast graben-like, Cenozoic Age structure that covers a large part of southern Idaho. Regionally, several mineral districts lie along the margin of the Snake River Plain.

The geology consists primarily of a Late Cretaceous Age granodiorite which hosts veins and breccia bodies that contain gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper sulfide mineralization. The granodiorite and breccias are covered locally by Tertiary Age, post-mineral basalts. The breccia bodies are the primary target on the South Idaho Silver Project. What are believed to be high-grade veins are of secondary interest.

Property Geology

Granite is widespread and covered locally by post-mineral basalts. Faulting consists primarily of extensional block-faulting. The granite commonly contains large xenoliths of schist. Locally, the granite has undergone argillic and silicic alteration. Veins and breccias of interest on the Property are granite-hosted. A detailed geologic map has not yet been completed on the South Idaho Silver Project.

Potential Deposit Type

Two potential deposit types are of interest at the South Idaho Silver Project. The first of these is the hydrothermal breccias that are found in several areas. The extent of this type of mineralization is uncertain. The second potential deposit type is high-grade quartz/sulfide veins that may be genetically associated to the breccias. An exploration program has been planned to identify steeply-dipping pipe-like bodies of quartz/sulfide mineralization. Both types of mineralization are probably of epithermal origin. Little data on the potential deposit types is available because the South Idaho Silver Project is in such an early stage of contemporary exploration.

Mineralization

Rock samples taken primarily from a sulfide-rich, siliceous hydrothermal breccia and associated rocks on the south side of the Property in 2008 by the prior owner give indication of the presence of gold and silver mineralization within a hydrothermal breccia. The breccia is hosted by altered granodiorite. The breccia contains locally massive pyrite, galena, sphalerite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite within a siliceous, sulfide-bearing matrix. Clasts within the breccia consist of dark grey rhyolite with semi-massive sulfides, massive pyrite with base metal sulfides and massive arsenopyrite, and light-grey quartz. Besides gold and silver, the mineralization contains anomalous arsenic, copper, lead, and zinc mineralization.

The geologic controls on this breccia mineralization are uncertain. The breccia lies in the vicinity of the intersection of two topographic lineaments which control the orientation of the Property. The length, width, depth, and continuity of both the breccia mineralization and sporadic vein mineralization are uncertain.

Metallurgical

No metallurgical testing has been conducted.

Reserves

There are no established probable or proven reserves on the South Idaho Silver Project.

Exploration

Only a limited amount of work has been completed on the South Idaho Silver Project. This work has been confined primarily to rock sampling at historic prospects. The rock samples taken were grab samples indicating mineralization that are not representative of any specific length or width of mineralization. They do not reflect the average grade of mineralization on any of the mineralized zones sampled. The rock sampling completed thus far has shown primarily that mineralization of interest is found in several areas of the South Idaho Silver Project. The geologic and geochemical surveys completed on the South Idaho Silver Project have been done a professional geologist.

We are not aware of any drilling that has been completed on the South Idaho Silver Project.

Exploration Plan

Our primary exploration plan in this under-explored area is to discover and focus on areas of known Au (Gold)/Ag (Silver) breccias mineralization; emphasizing exploration near the approximate intersection of northerly and easterly-trending topographic linears.

The above strategies would greatly limit the areas to be investigated by geophysics and possible subsequent drilling, which is anticipated to result in cost savings. However, all prospects in the area should have at least a cursory examination.

Comprehensive underground mapping and sampling of accessible historic mine workings is recommended. This will help determine the extent and average grade of mineralization on the property. Geophysics may also be necessary to enhance target definition. An IP/Resistivity survey is recommended to delineate sub-surface sulfide mineral distribution. Gold/Silver mineralization found thus far often correlates positively with sulfide content.

On the eight-claim South Idaho Silver Project, several areas of structural intersections should be evaluated using electrical geophysical methods. These should be followed-up by drilling to test for any depth extension of the mineralization. An itemized budget for this work is shown below:

This work plan may be accomplished in a two-phase plan with the initial budget of $210,000 required meet work requirements required in the Option Agreement, for the period from 2012 to 2014.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we continued our review of historical data and planning its 2013 exploration work. This work has commenced with planning additional staking of unpatented mining claims, review with geologists the work program, and review of the proposed budget against current estimates. Field work in the second quarter was partially delayed to reconnaissance exploration work (see “Montana” below) in Montana during the quarter. The review of our exploration plan has resulted in management’s decision to proceed over the winter months in preparing a preliminary plan of operation to be finalized when weather permits additional site reconnaissance on the property, during which initial surface sampling is planned to be implemented.

We do plan site work to be conducted on the property during the summer work season; the extent of this work will depend on funding and personnel availability. Currently the Company has delayed initial summer work pending a review of potential permitting and bonding requirements for the project.

Our current cash on hand is insufficient to complete any of the planned exploration activities and the full implementation of any planned exploration program is dependent on our ability to secure sufficient financing. We can provide no assurance that we will secure sufficient financing. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to pursue our planned exploration program and may not be able to maintain the option to acquire the South Idaho Silver Project or underlying mining claims in good standing. If we do not fulfill the terms of the Assignment Agreement or Option Agreement, then our ability to commence or continue operations could be materially limited. We also may be forced to abandon the South Idaho Silver Project. If we are unable to raise additional capital within the next twelve months, we will 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. We may consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required funding to explore the South Idaho Silver Project. We have not undertaken efforts to locate a joint venture participant and there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund exploration of the South Idaho Silver Project. If we were to enter into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in South Idaho Silver Project to the joint venture participant. We have begun the process of reviewing the data base of information we have acquired on the project, and a preliminary review of requirements to begin implementation of the proposed exploration plan. Company personnel are reviewing requirements for the Plan of Operation (POS) that will need to be filed prior to certain exploration activities.

Boulder Hill Project

Purchase and Sale Agreement of Unpatented Mining Claims

On December 16, 2011, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Boulder Hill Purchase Agreement”) with Boulder Hill Mines Inc., an Idaho corporation (“Boulder Hill”) relating to the purchase from Boulder Hill of three unpatented mining claims situated in Lincoln County, Montana (the “Boulder Hill Claims”). As consideration for the Claims, we issued Boulder Hill 500,000 restricted shares of our common stock, are obligated to pay Boulder Hill $25,000 in cash within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date, which is December 16, 2012, and $25,000 in cash within twenty-four (24) months of the Effective Date, which is December 16, 2013. Boulder Hill sold, transferred and conveyed the Boulder Hill Claims by executing and delivering quitclaim deeds to us. The Company has received a waiver from Boulder Hill Mines for 2013 work requirements and property payments.

The Boulder Hill Purchase Agreement includes customary representations and warranties. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Boulder Hill has agreed to indemnify us from claims resulting from any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Boulder Hill in the Boulder Hill Purchase Agreement.

Assignment and Assumption of Lease Agreement

On December 16, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (“Boulder Hill Assignment Agreement”) with Boulder Hill, and Jim Ebisch (“Ebisch”). Boulder Hill and Ebisch are parties to an Option to Purchase and Royalty Agreement dated July 15, 2008, as amended on August 1, 2011 (the “Boulder Hill Option Agreement”) which granted to Boulder Hill an option to acquire an undivided 100% of the right, title and interest of Ebisch in and to that certain Montana State Metallferrous Gold Lease M-1974-06 dated August 21,2006 he entered into with the State of Montana (the “Montana Gold Lease”) under which Ebisch was granted the exclusive right to prospect, explore, develop and mine for gold, silver and other minerals on property situated in Lincoln County, Montana. The Montana Gold Lease is for a ten (10) year term and is subject to the 5% net smelter return due to the State of Montana. Pursuant to the terms of the Boulder Hill Assignment Agreement, Boulder Hill transferred and assigned us all of its right, title and interest, in, to and under the Boulder Hill Option Agreement and we assumed the assignment of the Boulder Hill Option Agreement agreeing to be bound, the same extent as Boulder Hill, to the terms and conditions of the Boulder Hill Option Agreement. As consideration for the Assignment Agreement, we issued Boulder Hill 500,000 restricted shares of our common stock and are obligated to pay Boulder Hill $25,000 in cash within twelve (12) months of the Effective Date, which is December 16, 2012,extended to September 30,2013 and $25,000 in cash within twenty-four (24) months of the Effective Date, which is December 16, 2013.

Under the terms of the Boulder Hill Assignment Agreement, Boulder Hill and Ebisch have agreed to indemnify us from claims resulting from any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Boulder Hill or Ebisch in the Boulder Hill Assignment Agreement and for any breaches of any representations, warranties, obligations, terms or covenants of either Boulder Hill or Ebisch under or pursuant to the Boulder Hill Option Agreement.

The Boulder Hill Option Agreement and assignment of Boulder Hill’s right, title and interest, in, to and under the Option Agreement provide that we will have exercised the option to acquire an undivided 100% of Ebisch’s right, title and interest in and to the Montana Gold Lease after incurring an aggregate of $210,000 in exploration expenditures, paying Ebisch an aggregate of $80,000 plus five per cent (5%) of any joint-venture and buyout payments (hereafter referred to as ”JV&BP”) and paying filing fees over the term of the Boulder Hill Option Agreement. Our responsibility for the foregoing exploration expenditures and cash payments is inclusive of exploration expenditures incurred by Boulder Hill to the present and payments previously made by Boulder Hill to Ebisch under the terms of the Boulder Hill Option Agreement.

Location

The general location of the Boulder Hill is on the map below:
 
graphic2
 
The Boulder Hill Project consists of approximately 60 acres comprised of three unpatented mining claims (the “Claims”) and an option to acquire certain rights under a contiguous lease with the State of Montana (Montana State metal ferrous Gold Lease M-1974-06, the “Montana Gold Lease”) of approximately 114 acres located in Lincoln County, Montana. The property underlying the Claims and Montana Gold Lease lie in Township 29 North, Range 27 West, Montana Principal Meridian.

Land Status

Mineral rights on federal unpatented lode mining claims can be held indefinitely as long as the annual claim maintenance payments are current. At the present time, all of the required annual claim maintenance payments for the Boulder Hill Claims have been made. The initial term on the Montana Gold Lease is for a ten-year period commencing on August 21, 2006, which may be renewable. The total area consisting of the Boulder Hill Project consists of approximately 174 acres. The total annual property maintenance costs due the state and federal government for the Boulder Hill Project is currently about $800/year.

History

The Boulder Hill Project contains several historic prospect pits and adits, which we believe were excavated in the late 19th century or early 20th century. Bright white quartz veins with low gold contents attracted early prospectors to the Boulder Hill Project area. In 1995, during a regional reconnaissance conducted by Jim Ebisch, these original mine workings were sampled. Quartz vein samples from these historic workings were found in 1995 to contain low-grade gold; however, one prospect pit further down the hill, also originally sampled at the same time, contained altered, siliceous metasediments that have a far different appearance than that of the bright white quartz veins. These metasediments, poorly exposed in the prospect pit, were found to contain gold grades much higher than that of the bright white quartz veins that attracted historic attention. We have not independently verified this information and can provide no assurance that any of our exploration work will result in similar results.

Regional Geology

The Boulder Hill Project is located within an area that includes the Belt Basin of the northwestern United States. Mineralization is hosted by the Precambrian Age Prichard Formation. The Boulder Hill Project lies near the crest of the Wolf Creek Anticline. The rocks exposed in that area are thought to belong to the G Member of the Prichard Formation. The Boulder Hill Project also lies immediately south of the Wolf Creek Fault, an important regional structure.

Boulder Hill Project Geology

Structurally the Boulder Hill Project is on the downthrown side of the Wolf Creek fault, and the project is considered by us as a stratiform sulfide target within the Middle Prichard Formation in Lincoln County, Montana.

Our exploration plan at the Boulder Hill Project is designed to target what are believed to be Stratabound gold occurrences. Poorly-exposed gold mineralization found during the aforementioned reconnaissance exploration at the Boulder Hill Project within a prospect trench in 1995 is in contrast to the bright white quartz veins that were of historic interest. The rocks containing the gold mineralization found in 1995 consisted of silicified, sericitized and pyritic to locally gossanous metasediments. We have not independently verified this historical information and can provide no assurance that any of our exploration work will result in similar results.

Project Infrastructure, Access and Power

The Boulder Hill Project is located in an area of low-lying hills, away from residential areas. A paved road, a power line, and a railway line passes within one mile of the subject area. An improved gravel road passes by northwestern portion of the property. Skid trails lead to the area where the gold mineralization was found during the 1995 exploration and a subsequent follow-up site visit in 2008 by Mr. Ebisch. There are no accessible tunnels or shafts on the subject area. The source of water for proposed drilling is currently uncertain, which may require initial hauling of water for drilling purposes.

Reserves

There are no established probable or proven reserves on the property underlying the Boulder Hill Project. Our due diligence activities have been limited, and to a great extent, have relied upon information provided to us by third parties. We have not established and cannot provide any assurance that any of the properties underlying the Boulder Hill Project contain adequate, if any, amounts of gold or other mineral reserves to make mining economically feasible to recover that gold, or other mineral reserves, or to make a profit in doing so.

Proposed Exploration Plan

Several phases of exploration work will be necessary to move forward this project. Each successive phase of work is contingent upon the results of previous phases. The first phase will require geological mapping and sampling. Concurrent with this work, excavation of trenches on the underlying property will be necessary to expose and sample mineralization of interest. Geophysics may also be done on the property if the mineralization found by trenching has characteristics that lend to detection by geophysical methods. The total cost of this work is estimated to be $49,500.

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company conducted a site visit and took surface samples.

Montana

During the quarter, the Company conducted reconnaissance exploration in Jefferson County, Montana. This included reviewing historical data, and field site visits to areas of interest. These efforts are designed initially from surface examination to identify properties with geological characteristics that indicate further exploration and potential acquisition may be warranted. Subsequent to quarter end our efforts resulted in the signing of a Memorandum of agreement on the Nile Mine project also in Montana.

Memorandum of Understanding to Earn-Interest in the Nile Mine Project

On May 1, 2013, the Company with GMRV, a branch of 4uX, LLC, a private Montana company (“GMRV”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to enter into a Definitive Agreement within 180 days for the Company to earn a fifty percent interest in the Nile Mine project. The Company has not entered into a final and definitive agreement at this time.

Land Status

The project is owned/controlled by GMRV and private interests. The Company  signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) on the project effective May 1, 2013 containing the following terms and conditions for the Company to earn a 50% interest in the project:

Paying within 180 days of the signing of this MOU $2,500 which will be payable in cash or the issuance of restricted shares of  the Company at the market bid price, or the equivalent in restricted preferred shares of  the Company, subject to an subscription agreement signed by GMRV acceptable to the Company. The Company has agreed to an initial work commitment of $5,000 in 2013, and upon mutual agreement of an exploration plan for 2014, an increased work commitment of at least $10,000 for 2014.

The Company  agreed that work commitment will include the consulting services that will be provided by GMRV. The parties in good faith agree to enter into a definitive agreement with duration of 10 years, with a work commitment for this period of $250,000 and annual minimum advance royalty payments of $5,000 per year in cash, common shares, or preferred shares, at First Colombia’s option, for First Colombia to earn a 50% interest in the project. Should a mutually agreed upon definitive agreement not be agreed on and implemented within the effective date of this agreement, the payment referred to above shall be non-refundable.

On the effective Date: May 1, 2013, The Company was responsible for all property maintenance fees, estimated not to exceed $ 500.00 annually at the current BLM Maintenance Fee rate.

The foregoing description of the MOU does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the MOU, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Description of Property

History

The placer property contains evidence of production from a former gold-silver mill. Prior sampling identified about 13,000 cubic yards of mill tailings containing gold, silver, and copper values. The Company has not verified prior sampling results. The lead-silver-gold mine reported intermittent production from 1890's through 1940's.

Regional Geology

The Company is currently reviewing regional and project geology.

Project Infrastructure, Access and Power

There is evidence and historical information that indicates some level of production from the Nile Mine but the Company hasn’t completed a thorough review of this data.

Reserves

There are no established reserves on the project.

Permitting

In Montana an Exploration License or POO (Plan of Operation) may be required depending on the extent of planned surface disturbance or water discharge form exploration and development activities, and such permits can typically require bonding.

Proposed Exploration Plan

Several phases of exploration work will be necessary to move forward this project. Each successive phase of work is contingent upon the results of previous phases. The first phase will require geological mapping and sampling

The second phase of work will involve re-establishing underground access, channel sampling, rehabilitation of underground workings, surface soil sampling, and geologic mapping.

Our most immediate 2013 work will be conducting mapping, geological mapping, and surface sampling, and preparing a budget for rehabilitation and access to underground areas, and preparing the required permits. We have retained GMRV to provide consulting and field support to these planned activities.  We estimate the costs will required of a minimum of $10,000 to complete an initial start of these plans, and a total of $100,000 to complete.

Our current cash on hand is insufficient to complete any of the activities set forth in our planned exploration program. We have postponed the commencement of any exploration and development program until such time that we are able to secure sufficient financing. We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in securing sufficient financing. Provided we are able to secure sufficient financing, we anticipate that we will incur the following costs for the next twelve months:

This exploration plan may change or be terminated depending on the results from each stage of exploration.

Skip Silver

We have acquired the Skip claims in Montana through right of location. The Skip project is considered an early-stage silver exploration project, and we are seeking either a JV partner, or to develop an exploration plan for 2013. The project has no indicated reserves, nor has the company secured specific historical exploration data on the property, nor have we completed initial geological mapping on the project. We do not have specific exploration plans beyond 2013 and believe that it is in the Company’s best interest to seek a joint-venture partner in the area.

Other Exploration Areas

Our strategy is to advance projects we own, lease or option, and seek joint-venture partners where possible, and to acquire additional projects in different geographical areas though our concentration currently is in Montana and Idaho. We currently have two geologists performing work for the Company in database construction and review considering potential projects for the Company. There is no assurance this will result in additional projects for the Company, or if they do the Company will meet regulatory and financial requirements to acquire any projects identified

Laczay Uranium Prospect

The Company acquired by location a uranium prospect in the Pacific Northwest, and it is still in process of compiling and reviewing initial data on the project.

Results of Operations

Revenues

We have not generated any revenues from our operations since our inception and we do not expect to generate revenues in the near future, due to the exploratory nature of operations at this time.

Operating Expenses

We reported operating expenses in the amount of $99,071 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to operating expenses of $83,834 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012, was primarily a result of an increase in bank and interest charges, consulting and management fees, and an increase in mineral property exploration costs, partially offset by a decline in professional service expense.

We reported operating expenses of $185,585 for the  six month period ending June 30,2013, compared to $122,746 for the period ending June 30,2012.The increase is due primarily to increased interest expense, and increased exploration expense.

Our expenditures were higher over the prior period as a result of higher consulting and management fees incurred during the reporting period as the Company expanded its scope of efforts which resulted in a new prospect acquired. We incurred consulting and management fees of $57,694 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $18,750 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in consulting and management fees is partly attributable to more work done in-house by Company personnel. Exploration and mineral property expenses totaled $29,500 compared to $17,500 in the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was due to expenditures in North American exploration.

We incurred bank charges and interest of $35,645 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $21,648 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of in bank charges and interest is attributable to increased interest resulting from additional convertible promissory notes issued.

We incurred bank and interest charges for the six months ending June 30, 2013 for $57,694, compared to $34,455 for the period ending June 30, 2012. The increase for the six months was due to additional convertible promissory notes issued.

Other Items

We reported a provision for write down of property interests of $36,350 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and for the six month  period ended June 30, 2013  we reported a one-time gain from forgiveness of debt of $45,257.

Net (Income) Loss

As a result of the above, for the three months ended June 30, 2013, we reported a net loss of $135,721, for the three months ended June 30,2012, we reported a net loss of $83,834; for the six months ending June 30,2013 we reported a net loss of $176,878, and $122,746 for the six month period ending June 30,2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of  $nil, compared to $nil at December 31, 2012. At June 30, 2013, we had a working capital deficit of $373,985, compared to a working capital deficit of $570,498 at December 31, 2012. This decrease was due to a decline in accounts payable from $528,255 on December 31, 2012 to a balance of $331,908. The decline in the accounts payable was primarily due to the issuance of Preferred series A shares in settlement of various liabilities and the issuance of $90,000 in two year notes in settlement of various accounts payable.

Our present capital resources are insufficient to commence and sustain any planned exploration activity. Our current cash on hand is insufficient to be able to make all cash payments required in connection with our acquisition of the Boulder Hill Project and those cash payments and exploration expenditures which are required in order to exercise our option to acquire a 100% interest in mineral property interests proposed plan of exploration anticipates that we will incur aggregate exploration related expenditures of $260,000 over the next twelve months; minimum payments would amount to $125,000 in the next twelve months on exploration related expenses, with a total of $664,000 in exploration planned for the next twenty-four months, subject to available funding.  We have to date received waivers on payments and work commitments, though there is no assurance that we will continue to receive such waivers.

In addition to any expenditures related to any exploration activity, our business plan provides for spending of approximately $15,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next twelve months, for a total anticipated expenditure for general and administrative expenses of $180,000 over the next twelve months. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of interest expense, consulting and professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to our regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees and general office expenses.

The Company will seek to reduce its negative working capital further in negotiations with vendors, in particular considering further issuance of notes, common or preferred shares to improve the current negative working capital position of the Company.

Accordingly, we must obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of operations during and beyond the next twelve months, which would include being able to sustain any exploration activity. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of 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 our common stock. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our complete exploration programs or any acquisition of additional property interests. Any issuance of common stock would dilute the interests of our existing stockholders. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to pursue our exploration program and may not be able to maintain our mineral property interests in good standing. If we do not fulfill the terms of any of our option agreements according to our business plan, then our ability to commence or continue operations could be materially limited. We also may be forced to abandon our mineral property interests. If we are unable to raise additional capital in the near future, we will 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.

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.

We have been highly dependent on financing secured via the issuance of convertible notes, but there is no assurance that such financing will continue.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

For the six month period ending June 30, 2013 operating activities used cash of $55,837 as compared to $52,150 used in the same period in 2012. The primary reason for the increased uses was the reduction in accounts payable resulting from the issuance of two year notes payable.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, we used $4,150 related to mineral property acquisition in investing activities, as compared to $0 used in investing activities during the six months ended  June 30, 2012.

Cash from Financing Activities

For the six month period ending June 30, 2013 the cash flows from financing activities were $59,987, as compared to $65,000 in the same period ending June 30, 2012.  The reduction was from reduced convertible notes issued.

Commitments

Convertible Notes

On November 23, 2011, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Asher Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Asher”), relating to the issuance and sale to Asher of an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “ November 2011 Note”) in a private transaction (the “Transaction”) with a principal amount of $37,500. We received net proceeds of $37,500 from the Transaction on December 1, 2011. Interest on the November 2011 Note accrues at a rate of 8% annually and is to be paid with principal in full on the maturity date of August 28, 2012. The principal amount of the Note together with interest may be converted into shares of our common stock, par value $0.00001, at the option of the Asher at a conversion price equal to fifty-eight percent (58%) of the Market Price (as defined in the November 2011 Note) for the Common Stock during the ten trading days prior to the conversion. During the six month period ending June 30, 2013 the Company issued 5,945,378 common shares valued at $2,600 reducing the principal amount to -0-

On March 16, 2012, we issued Asher an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “March 2012 Note”) with a principal amount of $37,500 with substantially the same terms and conditions as the November 2011 Note. The March 2012 Note has a maturity date of December 20, 2012, at which time interest, accruing at a rate of 8% annually, and principal are to be paid in full.  During the period ending June 30, 2013 the Company issued common stock in the amount of 47,527,322 in settlement of $15,300 of this note. This promissory note has been paid in full through the issuance of common shares in the six month period ending June 30, 2013.

On June 6, 2012, we entered into an agreement we issued Asher an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “June 2012 Note”) with a principal amount of $27,500 with substantially the same terms and conditions as the November 2011 Note; the June 2012 note was funded on July 2, 2012. The June 2012 Note has a maturity date of March 6, 2013, at which time interest, accruing at a rate of 8% annually, and principal are to be paid in full.  The conversion price is equal to fifty-one percent (51%) of the Market Price ( as defined in the June 2012 Note).This loan was paid in full (including a charge the company recorded for late payment, of $13,750,fifty per cent of principal),through the issuance of 60,393,147 common shares  during the period ending June 30, 2013.

On December 18, 2012, (funded January 2, 2013) we entered into an agreement we issued Asher an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “December 2012 Note”) with a principal amount of $27,500 with substantially the same terms and conditions as the November 2011 Note; the December 18, 2012 note was funded on January 2, 2013. The December 2012 Note has a maturity date of September 20, 2013, at which time interest, accruing at a rate of 8% annually, and principal are to be paid in full. The conversion price is equal to 45% of the Market Price (as defined in the December 2012 Note).

On February 21, 2013, we entered into an agreement we issued Asher an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “February 2013 Note”) with a principal amount of $27,500 with substantially the same terms and conditions as the November 2011 Note; the February 21, 2013 The February 21, 2013 Note has a maturity date of November 25, 2013, at which time interest, accruing at a rate of 8% annually, and principal are to be paid in full. The conversion price is equal to forty five percent (45%) of the Market Price (as defined in the February 2013 Note).

On April 29, 2013, we entered into an agreement we issued Asher an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “April 2013 Note”) with a principal amount of $32,500 with substantially the same terms and conditions as the November 2011 Note; the April 29, 2013 The April Note has a maturity date of January 31, 2014, at which time interest, accruing at a rate of 8% annually, and principal are to be paid in full. The conversion price is equal to forty five percent (45%) of the Market Price (as defined in the April 2013 Note).The note was not funded until May 2013.

If Asher decides not to convert the notes into shares of our common stock, we will have an obligation on the maturity date of each note to pay Asher all accrued interest and principal on such note. In such case, we would have to find sources of cash to re-pay Asher and there can be no assurance such resources will be available.  During the six month period ending June 30, 2013, the Company issued a total of 113,865,847 shares in settlement of convertible notes and associated interest.

Cash Payments and Exploration Expenditures

Our obligations to make cash payments and incur exploration expenditures in connection with our acquisition of the Boulder Hill Project and the South Idaho Silver Project are described above in Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These expenditures of property payments and exploration are required to maintain our mineral property interests.  We have received waivers on these expenditures however there is no assurance we will continue to receive waivers during times of low working capital, nor meet ongoing filing expenses.

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 an accumulated deficit for the period from inception on September 5, 1997 to June 30, 2013 of $19,264,648 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 interim consolidated 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 December 31, 2012. We consider certain accounting policies to be critical to an understanding of our consolidated 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 and June 30, 2013. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2013, 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 December 31, 2012 and 2011, where management identified material weaknesses, that were based on the size of our company and the fact that we have only one financial expert on our management team, no audit committee and no person on our board of directors that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert”. We are in the process of considering changes to remediate these weaknesses.

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.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such controls.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding. We are not aware of any pending legal proceeding to which any of our officers, directors, or any beneficial holders of five percent or more of our voting securities are adverse to us or have a material interest adverse to us.


Not Applicable to Smaller Reporting Companies.


The Company during the quarter ending June 30, 2013 issued a total of 80,143,146  shares valued at $66,050, in settlement of convertible notes payable.

Exemption From Registration Claimed

All of the above sales by the Company of its unregistered securities were made by the Company in reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). All of the individuals and/or entities that purchased the unregistered securities were primarily existing shareholders, known to the Company and its management, through pre-existing business relationships, as long standing business associates and employees. All purchasers were provided access to all material information, which they requested, and all information necessary to verify such information and were afforded access to management of the Company in connection with their purchases. All purchasers of the unregistered securities acquired such securities for investment and not with a view toward distribution, acknowledging such intent to the Company. All certificates or agreements representing such securities that were issued contained restrictive legends (to be removed subject per rule 144), prohibiting further transfer of the certificates or agreements representing such securities, without such securities either being first registered or otherwise exempt from registration in any further resale or disposition.  The issuances were not accompanied by advertising nor were any commissions paid on the sales.
