Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
For the period June 27, 2008 (Inception) through March 31, 2011
NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION
Casablanca Mining Ltd. (the “Company,” “Casablanca” or “we”) was incorporated as USD Energy Corp. on June 27, 2008 in the State of Nevada. On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired Santa Teresa Minerals, S.A., a limited liability company organized under the laws of Chile (“Santa Teresa Minerals”). See “Note 4: Santa Teresa Minerals Acquisition.” On February 4, 2011, the Company changed its name from USD Energy Corp. to Casablanca Mining Ltd.
The transaction was accounted for as business combination, or a purchase. The operating statements of the Company from December 31, 2010 through March 31, 2011 reflect the combined operations of Casablanca Mining Ltd. and Santa Teresa Minerals while the operating statements of the Company prior to December 31, 2010 reflect the historical operations of Casablanca Mining Ltd. only.
The Company has a plan of operations to engage in the business of the acquisition, exploration, development, and operation of precious metals properties. The Company is an “exploration stage company” as defined in the Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 915 “Development Stage Entities” (ASC 915).
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of operating results for the interim period presented have been made. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. GAAP applicable to exploration stage enterprises.
The functional currency of Casablanca is the United States Dollar, and the functional currency of Santa Teresa Minerals is Chilean Pesos. The financial statements are presented in United States dollars.
NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements at March 31, 2011 and for the period June 27, 2008 (inception) through March 31, 2011 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a loss of $333,432 from inception through March 31, 2011. In addition, the Company has not generated any material revenues. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company may not be able to obtain additional funds that it may require. The Company does not presently have adequate cash from operations to meet its long-term needs. The Company does not currently have any established third-party bank credit arrangements. The Company will seek additional funds through equity or debt financings, if available on terms and schedules acceptable to the Company. If the additional funds that the Company may require are not available to it, the Company may be required to curtail significantly or eliminate some or all of its development programs.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Casablanca and its wholly owned subsidiary Santa Teresa Minerals. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Mining Properties and Equipment
The Company will follow the successful efforts method of accounting. All developmental costs will be capitalized. The Company is predominately engaged in the acquisition and development of proved reserves as opposed to exploration activities. Depreciation and depletion of producing properties will be computed on the unit-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves. Repairs and maintenance will be expensed, while renewals and betterments will be generally capitalized.
At least quarterly, or more frequently if conditions indicate that long-term assets may be impaired, the carrying value of our properties will be compared to management's future estimated pre-tax cash flow from the properties. If undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, then the asset value will be written down to fair value. Impairment of individually significant unproved properties will be assessed on a property-by-property basis, and impairment of other unproved properties is assessed and amortized on an aggregate basis.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company’s financial statements will reflect the fair value for any asset retirement obligation, consisting of future plugging and abandonment expenditures related to our properties, which can be reasonably estimated. The asset retirement obligation will be recorded as a liability at its estimated present value at the asset's inception, with an offsetting increase to producing properties on the balance sheet. Periodic accretion of the discount of the estimated liability will be recorded as an expense in the statements of operations.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topics 505 and 718 that require the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.
Estimates
The presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for the Company’s cash and related party payables approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Income Taxes
ASC Topic No. 740 “Income Taxes” (ASC 740) requires the asset and liability method of accounting be used for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities 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. 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 effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Per ASC Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share,” basic EPS is determined using net income/(loss) divided by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued.
NOTE 4: SANTA TERESA ACQUISITION
On December 31, 2010, Casablanca acquired Santa Teresa Minerals through the exchange of 25,500,000 shares of Common Stock for all of the issued and outstanding capital shares of Santa Teresa Minerals, pursuant to that certain Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), dated December 7, 2010, among the Company, Santa Teresa Minerals and the shareholders of Santa Teresa Minerals (collectively, the “Santa Teresa Shareholders”). The value of the shares of Common Stock issued in the exchange was $0.05 per share, as determined by a third party valuation.
In connection with the closing of the Exchange Agreement, we issued a note with a principal amount of $1,087,000 to Juan Carlos Camus Villegas (the “Villegas Note”), one of the Santa Teresa Shareholders, in exchange for a note in the same amount owed by Santa Teresa Minerals to him. The Villegas Note bears no interest and is payable in full, unless earlier converted, on November 1, 2012. Mr. Villegas may declare the Villegas Note immediately due and payable in the event of any material breach of the note that remains uncured for 30 days, commencement of proceedings under bankruptcy, the Company’s dissolution, or attachment against a material portion of the Company’s assets. Mr. Villegas may convert the Villegas Note at any time on or prior to June 30, 2012 into Common Stock at the conversion price of the lesser of $0.01 per share of Common Stock or lowest price at which the Company issues Common Stock during the conversion period. This conversion right is personal to Mr. Villegas and in general, is suspended at any time that the number of shares that have been issued, or are issuable, to the STM Stockholders and their affiliates, or have otherwise been issued pursuant to the Villegas Note, exceeds 51% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. As of March 31, 2011, the holder had the right to convert the note into 1,101,028 shares of Common Stock.
We have reviewed our acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals to determine the proper accounting for this transaction in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805 – “Business Combinations” (ASC 805). Based on our review of ASC 805-10-55-11 and ASC 805-10-55-12, we have determined that the acquisition should be treated as a purchase.
The assets we acquired through Santa Teresa Minerals included principally: cash, accounts receivable, fixed assets (recorded at fair value), including land and mining equipment; and liabilities acquired consisting of accounts payable and notes and loans payable. The difference between the value of the shares issued in consideration and the assets less liabilities was recorded as goodwill.

NOTE 6: PROPERTY - CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS
On September 15, 2010, Santa Teresa Minerals and Minera Anica Ltda. formed the Chilean corporation, “Sulfatos Chile, S.A.” Santa Teresa Minerals owns a 60% equity interest in Sulfatos Chile. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, Santa Teresa Minerals contributed $1,526,988 to Sulfatos Chile toward the construction of a copper sulfate production facility during the three months ended March 31, 2011. Santa Teresa Minerals intends to provide the further financing necessary to complete the construction of the copper sulfate production facility and to put the copper sulfate production facility into production.
NOTE 7: GOODWILL
In connection with the Santa Teresa Minerals acquisition, Casablanca issued 25,500,000 shares of Common Stock valued at $.05 per share for a total value of $1,275,000. This was recorded as Common Stock at par value of $25,500 with the remaining $1,249,500 recorded as paid-in capital. In connection with the acquisition, and in accordance with ASC Topic 805-30 “Business Combinations – Goodwill or Gain from Bargain Purchase Including Consideration Transferred,” we recorded goodwill in the amount of $66,258, representing the amount by which the total liabilities of Santa Teresa Minerals exceeded the total book value of the assets of Santa Teresa Minerals. In accordance with ASC Topic 350-20 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other," we will periodically test the Goodwill for impairment.
NOTE 8: DEBT
In 2008, Trisha Malone, then our Chief Executive Officer and a director, advanced $5,000 on the Company’s behalf to pay a vendor. No interest accrued on this advance, which was to be repaid from the proceeds of sales of stock or a loan. The balance due on this loan at March 31, 2011 is $5,000.
On February 7, 2009, the Company issued a Convertible Note (the “Suprafin Note”) to Suprafin, Ltd. in exchange for Suprafin’s agreement to lend the Company up to $25,000 for operating expenses. The Suprafin Note bears an interest rate of 10.0% per annum and was due and payable on February 7, 2010. Suprafin had the right to convert at any time the outstanding principal and interest under the Suprafin Note into shares of Common Stock at the market closing price on the day prior to conversion. On February 5, 2010, the Suprafin Note was amended to extend the maturity date to February 7, 2011, to increase the amount the Company may borrow to up to $50,000 at any given time, and to set the conversion price at $.0225 per share. In July 2010, Suprafin converted the then outstanding principal and interest ($45,312) under the Suprafin Note into 2,013,867 shares of Common Stock. On January 17, 2011, Suprafin converted the outstanding principal and interest ($14,425) into 641,111 shares of Common Stock. See “Note 9: Related Party Transactions.”
In connection with the closing of the Exchange Agreement, we issued a note with a principal amount of $1,087,000 (the “Villegas Note”) to Juan Carlos Camus Villegas, one of the Santa Teresa Shareholders and presently an officer and director of the Company, in exchange for a note in the same amount owed by Santa Teresa Minerals to him. See “Note 4 – Santa Teresa Minerals Acquisition.” We have evaluated the beneficial conversion feature of this note as of March 31, 2011 and deemed it to be $49,807. We will re-evaluate this determination quarterly.

NOTE 12: NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure as follows: 1) Transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. A reporting entity should disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers. 2) Activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. In the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reporting entity should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than as one net number). This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that clarifies existing disclosures as follows: 1) Level of disaggregation. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities. A class is often a subset of assets or liabilities within a line item in the statement of financial position. A reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities. 2) Disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, we do not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2010-28, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This ASU modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, it does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2010-29, Business Combinations (Topic 805) - Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. This ASU specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The ASU also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under ASC Topic 805. The amendments are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after December 15, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, it does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 13: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In accordance with ASC Topic No. 855 “Subsequent Events”, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time between the end of the reporting period and the time this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2011 was filed with the Commission. The following events occurred subsequent to March 31, 2011 and require disclosure or recognition in these financial statements.
In April and May 2011, the Company issued 322,000 shares of Common Stock to Angelique de Maison for $1.00 per share, or a total of $322,000, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into in March 2011. See “Note 9 – Related Party Transactions.”
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this filing as well as with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Commission.
Forward Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Report. This discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements based on assumptions about our future business. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Factors that May Affect Future Operating Results” contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
On December 31, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals, S.A., a limited liability company organized under the laws of Chile (“Santa Teresa Minerals”). For a discussion of our financial statements prior to the acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals (the “Santa Teresa Acquisition”), see our financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The transaction was accounted for as business combination or a purchase, and the operating statements of the Company prior to December 31, 2010 reflect the historical operations of Casablanca Mining Ltd. only. Prior to the Santa Teresa Acquisition, we conducted only nominal business operations. As such, comparisons to financial periods prior to the Santa Teresa Acquisition may not be meaningful.
Revenues
There have been only minimal revenues generated to date. Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $1,367 from the sale of scrap metal.
We expect Santa Teresa Minerals will begin to generate revenues from its mining projects in the third quarter of 2011.
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2011, operating expenses were $197,790, compared to $7,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Operating expenses were primarily associated with the operations of Santa Teresa Minerals in the ordinary course of business as well as legal and accounting expenses required by a public company and costs incurred in connection with the Santa Teresa Acquisition.
Santa Teresa Minerals has incurred significant expenses since inception, mostly as the result of capital expenditures for equipment and infrastructure, exploration costs, development of technology, salaries for mining personnel, legal, accounting and office expenses.
Other Income (Expense)
The issuance of the convertible promissory note to Juan Carlos Camus Villegas, which included a beneficial conversion feature, resulted in other expense of $49,807 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This will be revalued quarterly.
Interest Income (Expense)
Interest accrued or paid on notes payable, resulted in interest expense of $7,252 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $874 in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Interest expense is mainly related to bank loans and lines of credit for Santa Teresa Minerals.
Net Income (Loss)
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, net loss was $253,482 compared to a net loss of $8,074 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Net losses were due to the operational expenses discussed above.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2011, our principal sources of capital included cash of $639,808 compared to $9,390 at December 31, 2010. This capital was generated through private placements of our Common Stock. In January 2011, we raised $800,000 from the sale of 800,000 shares of Common Stock to WealthMakers, Ltd. In March 2011, Angelique de Maison, an affiliate of WealthMakers, individually agreed to purchase from us up to an additional 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share. As of May 13, 2011, we had sold 981,702 shares to Ms. de Maison pursuant to this agreement.
During the next twelve months, the Company plans to satisfy its cash requirements by additional equity financing and contributions from its current principal shareholders. The Company intends to undertake private placements of its Common Stock in order to raise future development and operating capital. The Company depends upon capital to be derived from contributions from its principal shareholders and future financing activities such as subsequent offerings of its stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the capital it requires through the sale of its Common Stock.
Going forward, Santa Teresa Minerals expects to incur average monthly costs, including capital purchases, of approximately $600,000 as it builds out the copper sulfate production facility associated with Sulfatos Chile, and increases production at Sociedad Contractual Free Gold. Santa Teresa Minerals also expects to incur further exploration costs and costs to develop technology as set forth in its plan of operations.
Casuto Project
On February 2, 2011, Santa Teresa Minerals, signed a Business Purchase Agreement with Mario Oscar Comas San Martin (the “Business Purchase Agreement”) to increase its equity ownership in five of its Chilean gold mining subsidiaries. The increased ownership stakes have been recorded with the local Chiliean mining authorities. The transactions contemplated by the Business Purchase Agreement were completed upon recording of this agreement by the Chilean mining authorities. The increased stakes are being paid for in a combination of 20,000 shares of our common stock and $200,000 cash paid in five equal monthly installments of $40,000 each, starting February 4, 2011. To date, Santa Teresa has made three payments under this agreement totaling $120,000. Two payments totaling $80,000 and the 20,000 shares of our common stock remain to be paid.
Pursuant to the Business Purchase Agreement, our equity ownership increased as follows:
| |
● |
Our equity interest in Cia Contractual Casuto, which is the owner of Tauro 1-4 mining properties of the Casuto Project, increased from 55.125% to 65.125%. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
Our equity interest in Sociedad Contractual Free Gold, which is the owner of the Free Gold Project, increased from 50% to 99%. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
Our equity interest in Sociedad Contractual Minera Los Azules, which is the owner of Los Azules 1-3 mining properties of the Casuto Project, increased from 55.125% to 65.125%. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
Our equity interest in Sociedad Legal Minera Tauro 5, which is the owner of Tauro 5 mining property of the Casuto Project, increased from 70% to 85.215%. |
| |
|
|
| |
● |
Our equity interest in Sociedad Legal Minera Tauro 6, which is the owner of Tauro 6 mining property of the Casuto Project, increased from 70% to 85.215%. |
On our Casuto Project properties, we intend to conduct further geological assessment studies of the area in order to identify the old river channels and then to plan a campaign of boring and sampling in areas of greater interest, at a cost of approximately $1.0 million within the next 12 months.
Sulfatos Chile
In March 2011, Santa Teresa Minerals signed an Engineering and Construction of an SX-CR Plant Agreement with Francisco Morales Rivera – Ingefibras E.I.R.L. and Nunez, Ojeda Y da Silva Limitada – RCG Ingenieria (together the “Contractor”) for Contractor to design and build a Solvent Extraction and Crystallization Plant in the Sulfatos Chile S.A. Anico Project. The project shall be paid for in installments after the completion and verification of multiple scheduled milestones through the expected completion date of October 24, 2011. The total project cost per the agreement is $1,150,000 plus taxes.
We also plan to install a copper refining operation using our proprietary electro-mining process, at a cost of approximately $2 million, by June 30, 2011. We anticipate the project will begin with 5,000 metric tons of raw material processing per month and will not require an environmental impact study.
We estimate that the entire copper sulfate production facility will cost approximately $6.2 million to complete.
Free Gold
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement discussed above, the Company’s stake in Contract Mining Company - Free Gold (also known as Sociedad Contractual Free Gold), which is the owner of the Free Gold Project, increased from 50% to 99%.
On our existing property in production, Free Gold, the Company plans to expand the alluvial gold operations at an estimated cost of $1.97 million within the next eight months, by increasing the existing equipment inventory and expanding the company’s alluvial processing plant.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, among others, those affecting revenue, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability of inventory and the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets. The discussion below is intended as a brief discussion of some of the judgments and uncertainties that can impact the application of these policies and the specific dollar amounts reported on our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Many of our estimates or judgments are based on anticipated future events or performance, and as such are forward-looking in nature, and are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise this discussion to reflect any future events or circumstances.
We have identified below some of our accounting policies that we consider critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. This is not a complete list of all of our accounting policies, and there may be other accounting policies that are significant to us. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and our other accounting policies, see Note 1 to the financial statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Proven and Probable Reserves
The definition of proven and probable reserves is set forth in SEC Industry Guide 7. Proven reserves are reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well-established. Probable reserves are reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation. In addition, reserves cannot be considered proven and probable until they are supported by a feasibility study, indicating that the reserves have had the requisite geologic, technical and economic work performed and are economically and legally extractable at the time of the reserve determination.
Mineral Acquisition Costs
The costs of acquiring land and mineral rights are considered tangible assets. Significant acquisition payments are capitalized. General, administrative and holding costs to maintain an exploration property are expensed as incurred. If a mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are amortized when production begins using the units-of-production method. If no mineable ore body is discovered or such rights are otherwise determined to have diminished value, such costs are expensed in the period in which the determination is made.
Exploration Costs
Exploration costs are charged to expense as incurred. Costs to identify new mineral resources, to evaluate potential resources, and to convert mineral resources into proven and probable reserves are considered exploration costs.
Design, Construction, and Development Costs
Certain costs to design and construct mine and processing facilities may be incurred prior to establishing proven and probable reserves. Under these circumstances, we classify the project as an exploration stage project and expense substantially all costs, including design, engineering, construction, and installation of equipment. Certain types of equipment, which have alternative uses or significant salvage value, may be capitalized. If a project is determined to contain proven and probable reserves, costs incurred in anticipation of production can be capitalized. Such costs include development drilling to further delineate the ore body, removing overburden during the pre-production phase, building access ways, constructing facilities, and installing equipment. Interest costs, if any, incurred during the development phase, would be capitalized until the assets are ready for their intended use. The cost of start-up activities and on-going costs to maintain production are expensed as incurred. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment.
If a project commences commercial production, amortization and depletion of capitalized costs is computed on a unit-of–production basis over the expected reserves of the project based on estimated recoverable gold equivalent ounces.
Income Taxes
Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 740 “Income Taxes” (ASC 740) requires the asset and liability method of accounting be used for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities 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. 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 effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Not Applicable.
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2011. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, the Company’s management was required to apply its reasonable judgment. Based upon the required evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of March 31, 2011, the Company’s system of controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s management intends to address the material weaknesses in its disclosure controls and procedures as soon as possible.
Because of our acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals, there have been resulting changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.
Not Applicable.
