 Item 7.01  Regulation FD

 

On October 28, 2014, the Registrant stated that the Invecture Group, S.A. de C.V. (“Invecture”) has announced that the Los Cardones gold project in Baja California Sur, Mexico, has been suspended because the conditions for its development are not favorable at this time.

 

In October 2013, the Registrant sold 100% of its debt and equity participation in the Los Cardones gold project to Invecture and RPG Structured Finance S.a.r.l. (together the Purchasers”) for total consideration of US$13 million, US$7 million of which was paid at closing and US$6 million of which is due by January 30, 2015 (as extended from January 30, 2014 and from July 31, 2014).  The Purchasers have the option to elect, in their discretion, not to make the second payment of US$6 million, in which case, the Registrant will retain all amounts already received and the Los Cardones gold project will be returned to the Registrant.

 

Invecture’s announcement introduces substantial doubt that the second payment of US$6 million will be made by January 30, 2015.

 

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information set forth herein is deemed to be “furnished” and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.  The information set forth in Item 7.01 of this report shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information in this report on Form 8-K that is required to be disclosed solely to satisfy the requirements of Regulation FD.
