PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Pursuant to Regulation 13A Reports of issuers of securities registered pursuant to section 12, Reg. §240.13a-13 (c) (2) (i) & (ii), Soltera need not file Part 1 - Financial Information for the following reasons:

·
The registrant is not in the production stage but is engaged primarily in the exploration for the development of mineral deposits other than oil, gas or coal; and
·
The registrant has not been in production during the current fiscal year or the two years immediately prior thereto; and
·
The registrant has not received any receipts from the sale of mineral products or from the operations of mineral producing properties since it does not sell mineral products nor conduct operations of mineral producing properties.


PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

Soltera is not a party to any pending legal proceedings and, to the best of Soltera's knowledge, none of Soltera's property or assets are the subject of any pending legal proceedings, with the exception of the following:

Zapaleri Project

Soltera is aware of a potential claim dispute on the Zapaleri Project.  However, management believes that Soltera's ownership rights are in good standing.  If Soltera's ownership rights are lost, Soltera will promptly file a Form 8-K with the SEC disclosing the loss of ownership rights.   The legal dispute affects Incas' rights on the Zapaleri Project and must be solved by the mining Chamber of the Jujuy Province.  Soltera is currently waiting for the decision of the mining Chamber of the Jujuy Province.  As a result of the legal dispute and until it is resolved, Incas is not required to commence any work or expense on this project.  After the solution of the legal dispute, if positive, Incas will have the exclusive right to explore the mineral claims with an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Zapaleri Project upon fulfilling the conditions of the Second Option Agreement.

Ambrian Resources AG

In July 2010 Soltera Mining Corp. was served with a lawsuit by Ambrian Resources AG.  Ambrian sued Soltera for damages on the alleged grounds that Ambrian had negotiated and finalized a binding funding agreement with Soltera during April-June 2010 but instead Soltera chose to enter a financing agreement with another company (Goldlake).  Ambrian also claimed that Soltera used a strategy developed by Ambrian and used information provided by a South African mining engineer who visited the project at Ambrian's expense.  Ambrian was seeking damages in excess of $20 million dollars.

Soltera denied and continued to deny all claims in the lawsuit and retained a Nevada litigator to defend the action brought against it by Ambrian in the State of Nevada.  Soltera was also seeking to have the lawsuit dismissed on the grounds that there was no binding agreement with Ambrian.  On January 23, 2013 a Stipulation and Order for Dismissal was entered by both parties in which all outstanding claims were dismissed with prejudice in consideration of nil. (Visit Clark County Courts Records Inquiry website ref.# A619956 for status.)

See the Form 8-K filed by Soltera on June 18, 2010 for more information on the Goldlake financing agreement.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

Soltera is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

Since the end of the 2012 fiscal year, (i) Soltera did not modify the instruments defining the rights of its shareholders, (ii) no rights of any shareholders were limited or qualified by any other class of securities, and (iii) Soltera did not sell any unregistered equity securities, with the exception of the following:

2013 - $0.15 Warrant Extension

On November 26, 2012, the board of directors authorized the issuance of 1,333,333 restricted shares of common stock for the exercise of 1,333,333 restricted non-transferable share purchase warrants at an exercise price of $0.15 per warrant.  Soltera received from Goldlake Italia S.p.A. a completed and signed Subscription Form and funds in the amount of US$200,000 representing the full payment for the exercise of the warrants and the issuance of restricted shares of common stock.

On April 3, 2013, the board of directors authorized the issuance of 999,670 restricted shares of common stock for the exercise of 999,670 restricted non-transferable share purchase warrants at an exercise price of $0.15 per warrant.  Soltera received from Goldlake Italia S.p.A. a completed and signed Subscription Form and funds in the amount of US$149,952 representing the full payment for the exercise of the warrants and the issuance of restricted shares of common stock.

On May 1, 2013, management agreed to extend the expiry dates of all outstanding warrants as at that date to September 30, 2013. The outstanding warrants were initially set to expire on June 20, 2013 and June 30, 2013 and were exercisable for the purchase of 2,999,430 and 14,002,826 common shares respectively at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.  All warrants have subsequently expired as the date of filing this quarterly report.

For the exercise of warrants, Soltera relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 903 of Regulation S promulgated pursuant to that Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the issuance of the restricted shares of common stock to Goldlake Italia S.p.A. as a non-US subscriber outside the United States.  The value of the restricted shares of common stock was agreed upon between the parties of the Financing Agreement.  Management is satisfied that Soltera complied with the requirements of the exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery of the Securities Act of 1933.  The offering was not a public offering and was not accompanied by any general advertisement or any general solicitation.  Soltera received from the subscriber certain representations and warranties, including, among others, that (a) the subscriber was not a U.S. person, (b) the subscriber subscribed for the shares and warrants for their own investment account and not on behalf of a U.S. person, and (c) there was no prearrangement for the sale of the shares or warrants with any buyer.  No offer was made or accepted in the United States and the share certificates representing the shares were issued bearing a legend with the applicable trading restrictions.  The investment funds were used primarily for working capital.  See Exhibit 10.22 – Financing Agreement for more details.

2014 - $0.11 Unit Offering

On February 7, 2014, Soltera entered into a financing agreement with GTS Gold Trading Service DMCC for a unit offering of up to $5 million at an offering price of $0.11 per unit.  Each unit was to consist of one restricted share of common stock in the capital of Soltera and one warrant.  Each warrant was to represent two shares of common stock in the capital of Soltera with an exercise price of $0.18 per share and was to be exercisable for two years from the date of closing of each tranche of the subscription proceeds received by Soltera under this financing agreement.  If GTS fully subscribed for the unit offering and exercised all of the warrants it was to receive then GTS would have become the registered owner of 136,363,638 restricted shares of common stock in the capital of Soltera, which would have represented a 58.1% fully-diluted interest in Soltera.  As of the date of this quarterly report Soltera had only received $110,000 of the subscription proceeds, but has not yet accepted the subscription proceeds nor issued any restricted shares of common stock or warrants.  See Exhibit 10.23 – Financing Agreement for more details.



2015 Form 10-Q – Q2
Soltera Mining Corp.
4

For the issuance of the units, Soltera relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 903 of Regulation S promulgated pursuant to that Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the issuance of the restricted shares of common stock and warrants to GTS Gold Trading Service DMCC as a non-US subscriber outside the United States.  The value of the restricted shares of common stock was agreed upon between the parties of the GTS Financing Agreement.  Management is satisfied that Soltera complied with the requirements of the exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery of the Securities Act of 1933.  The offering was not a public offering and was not accompanied by any general advertisement or any general solicitation.  Soltera received from the subscriber certain representations and warranties, including, among others, that (a) the subscriber was not a U.S. person, (b) the subscriber subscribed for the shares and warrants for their own investment account and not on behalf of a U.S. person, and (c) there was no prearrangement for the sale of the shares or warrants with any buyer.  No offer was made or accepted in the United States and the share certificates representing the shares were issued bearing a legend with the applicable trading restrictions.

Currently, there are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, shares of Soltera's common stock.

Item 3.  Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

During the quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report, no material default has occurred with respect to any indebtedness of Soltera.  Also, during this quarter, no material arrearage in the payment of dividends has occurred.

Item 4.  Mining Safety Disclosures.

There are no current mining activities at the date of this report.

Item 5.  Other Information.

During the quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report, Soltera reported all information that was required to be disclosed in a report on Form 8-K.

Soltera has adopted a financial code of ethics that applies to all its executive officers and employees, including its CEO and CFO.  See Exhibit 14 – Code of Ethics for more information.  Soltera undertakes to provide any person with a copy of its financial code of ethics free of charge.  Please contact Fabio Montanari at (303) 800-5752 to request a copy of Soltera's financial code of ethics.  Management believes Soltera's financial code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code.
