Lone Star Gold, Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2013
(unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
|
Lone Star Gold, Inc. (the “Company” or “Lone Star”), formerly known as Keyser Resources, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 26, 2007. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, Development Stage Entities.
On January 26, 2012, the Company, acting through a subsidiary, Amiko Kay, S. de R.L. de C.V., a company organized under the laws of Mexico (“Amiko Kay”), entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Miguel Angel Jaramillo Tapia (“Jaramillo”), a resident of Mexico. Under the JV Agreement, Amiko Kay and Jaramillo agreed to process mine tailings located in the city of Hidalgo Del Parral in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico (the “Tailings”), and, after processing, to use, market and sell any minerals extracted from the Tailings. The Company owns 99% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Amiko Kay. The JV Agreement provides Amiko Kay the right to receive 65% of the net revenues from the sale of any materials extracted from the Tailings. The Company is accounting for the activities under the JV Agreement as a collaborative arrangement as defined by ASC 808. As a result, acquisition costs related to the JV Agreement have been capitalized and all other expenditures by the Company related to the JV Agreement have been expensed as incurred as exploration costs. This is in accordance with the Company’s Mineral Property Cost Accounting Policy. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company has recognized $10,000 of costs associated with the collaborative arrangement, which are included in Exploration Costs.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated any revenue since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders and other investors, the ability of the Company to obtain any necessary financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at September 30, 2013, the Company has accumulated losses of $4,893,046 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and for the period November 26, 2007 (inception) to September 30, 2013 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2013 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and for the period November 26, 2007 (inception) to September 30, 2013. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter of the entire year ending December 31, 2013.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and regulations. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012 as included in our Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
2. Related Party Transactions
|
All related party transactions are recorded at the exchange amount which is the value established and agreed to by the related party.
An advance from Maurice Bideaux, former chief executive officer and director, in the amount of $38,910, remains unpaid.
As of September 30, 2013, the Company’s two largest shareholders, Dan Ferris and John G. Rhoden, own 7,504,954 and 22,500,000 shares of Common Stock, representing 7.45% and 22.32%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
On January 13, 2012, the Company agreed to redeem 22,500,000 shares of common stock, 0.001 par value, of the Company (“Common Stock”) held by Mr. Rhoden for total consideration of $1.00. The stock transfer agent has not yet recorded the redemption of the stock formerly owned by Mr. Rhoden due to a delay caused by his inability to locate and deliver one of his stock certificates. However, the number of issued and outstanding shares reported by the Company in this Quarterly Report gives effect to this redemption.

Notes payable

In June 2012 the Company entered into a secured note agreement with Fairhills Capital Offshore Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Fairhills”), in the principal amount of $50,000 at an annual interest rate of 2%. Principal and accrued and unpaid interest was due on December 24, 2012, which was verbally extended until December 24, 2013. The Note is secured by 3,750,000 shares of Common Stock owned by Dan Ferris, our President and sole director. On November 12, 2012, Fairhills transferred all rights and obligations under the Note to Deer Valley Management, LLC ("Deer Valley"). In March 2013, the Company paid $25,000 to Deer Valley to pay down the outstanding balance on its loan. In May 2013, the remaining $25,000 balance due on this loan was repaid by a shareholder.

On April 30, 2012, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (as amended, the “Fairhills Investment Agreement”) with Fairhills pursuant to which Fairhills agreed to purchase shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $15,000,000. Fairhills assigned their interest in the Fairhills Investment Agreement to Deer Valley Management, LLC ("Deer Valley") on November 12, 2012. During Q1 and Q2 of 2013, the Company exercised its right pursuant to the Fairhills Investment Agreement with Deer Valley, as successor-in-interest to Fairhills, to require Deer Valley to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The total amount of these six puts is $360,000. There was an additional put exercised in December 2012, the amount of which is $15,000 whose shares were not issued until 2013 as well. The total of these six put shares issuances resulted in 10,810,000 shares being issued in 2013 for proceeds of $375,000. On June 26, 2013, the Fairhills Investment Agreement was terminated.
On June 27, 2013 the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (the “KVM Investment Agreement”) with KVM Capital Partners, LLC (“KVM”) whereby KVM agreed to purchase up to $5 million of the Company’s common stock over a period of up to 36 months. In connection with the KVM Investment Agreement, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with KVM pursuant to which the Company was obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) covering the resale of the 30,000,000 shares of common stock underlying the KVM Investment Agreement.

5. Commitments
|
On October 31, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with a consultant to perform consulting services as requested by the Company. The contract calls for the consultant to receive $15,000 upon execution of the agreement, $5,000 per month through the term of the agreement, and a one-time grant of 150,000 restricted shares of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock. The fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant was $124,500. The term of the original agreement was one year and the agreement is currently being renewed on a month to month basis. This contract was terminated on April 1, 2013.
La Candelaria Property
On May 31, 2011, Metales HBG, S.A. de C.V. (“Metales”), a company organized under the laws of Mexico, was formed. The Company owns 70% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock and the remaining 30% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Metales is owned by Homero Bustillo Gonzalez (“Gonzalez”). On June 10, 2011, Gonzalez assigned to Metales eight gold and silver mining concessions (the “Concessions”) related to the “La Candeleria” property located in the town of Guachochi, in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. The Concessions cover 800 hectares, or approximately 1,976 acres.

On August 17, 2011, in connection with its investment in Metales and the exploration and development of the Concessions, the Company, American Gold Holdings, Ltd. (“American Gold”) and Gonzalez executed an Assignment Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”) pursuant to which American Gold assigned all of its right and interest in and to a Letter of Intent between American Gold and Gonzalez, and an Option to Purchase Agreement between American Gold and Gonzalez dated January 11, 2011 (the “Option Agreement”) and Company assumed all of the duties and obligations of American Gold under the Letter of Intent and the Option Agreement. Pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, the Company, either alone or through Metales, is obligated to fund $150,000 per year of development costs for three years, for a total of $450,000. The Company funded $14,500 and $60,195 during the work periods ending January 11, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not pay Gonzalez any additional funds, in accordance with its oral agreement with him reached in January 2013.
Gonzalez retains a 2% Net Smelter Returns Royalty on the Concessions. Metales is obligated to undertake work necessary to bring the existing geological survey on the property up to NJ 43-101 standards. The Company has granted anti-dilution rights to Gonzalez, such that the Company must allow Gonzalez the opportunity to maintain his percentage stock ownership in the Company until the date on which the Company has complied fully with its obligations under the Option Agreement or January 11, 2014, whichever comes first. Gonzalez has waived the exercise of his anti-dilution rights with respect to issuances of Common Stock to North American under the Option Agreement. In addition, the Company is obligated to issue 1,000,000 shares of its Common Stock to Gonzalez upon the discovery of a 1 million-ounce equivalent gold deposit, as defined by industry standards as set forth by a recognized exchange in North America. Finally, if the Company fails to comply with all its obligations under the Option Agreement before January 11, 2014, the Option Agreement will terminate and the Company will be obligated to return the Concessions to Gonzalez. In January 2013, the Company and Gonzalez verbally agreed to place the work commitments on hold. Per the verbal agreement between the Company and Gonzalez, all payments have been put on hold until such time as the Company has sufficient capital to continue the project.
Employment Agreement
On July 12, 2011, the Company entered into an Employment Agreement with Dan M. Ferris regarding his position as President of the Company. The Employment Agreement has an initial term of three years, and after the initial term will automatically renew for successive one-year periods until terminated in accordance with the Agreement (the “Term”). Mr. Ferris will be paid a base salary of $120,000 per year during the Term. Mr. Ferris will also be entitled to receive 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which will be issued in three equal increments of 1,000,000 shares over the first 3 years of the Term. The shares of Common Stock will not be registered under the Securities Act, and will be subject to restrictions on transfer. Therefore, Mr. Ferris will receive 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock on July 12 of each of the years 2012, 2013, and 2014. The Employment Agreement may be terminated voluntarily by either party upon 30 days written notice, upon Mr. Ferris’ death or disability, by mutual agreement at the end of the Term, or at any time for “cause” by the Company. If Mr. Ferris’ employment is terminated for “cause”, or if he voluntarily resigns, then he will not be entitled to receive any shares of Common Stock that have not been issued as of the date of resignation or termination. If Mr. Ferris’ employment is terminated for any other reason, he will be entitled to receive the full 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Employment Agreement defines “cause” as the willful and continued failure by Ferris to perform his duties under the Employment Agreement, conviction of a felony, or engaging in conduct that is contrary to the best interests of the Company or adversely affects the Company’s reputation. The fair market value of the stock grant on the date of the Employment Agreement was $3,000,000 based on the fair market value at the time of the agreement. The Company recognized $249,999 and $749,997 in expense related to the stock grant during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
Tailings Project
On January 26, 2012, the Company, acting through its subsidiary, Amiko Kay, entered into the JV Agreement Jaramillo. Under the JV Agreement, Amiko Kay and Jaramillo agreed to process the Tailings and, after processing, to use, market and sell any minerals extracted from the Tailings. The Company owns 99% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Amiko Kay.
The Tailings consist of approximately 1.2 million tons of mine tailings from previous mining activity in the Chihuahua area over the last 100 years or more. Mine tailings represent the refuse remaining after ore has been processed. Through the JV Agreement, Amiko Kay and Jaramillo intend re-process the mine tailings heap to extract minerals that were not extracted during the initial processing, and to market and sell any minerals extracted from the Tailings.

As consideration for Jaramillo’s contribution of the right to process the Tailings to the Joint Venture, the Company has paid Jaramillo $100,000 to date. In addition, the Company agreed to pay Jaramillo an additional $200,000 no later than January 26, 2013. In January 2013, the Company and Jaramillo entered into a verbal agreement to delay the payment, and as of the date of this filing the payment has not been made.
In addition, the Company or Amiko Kay has agreed to fund an amount up to $1,000,000 (the “Work Commitment”) for the benefit of the JV Agreement over its first two years, as follows:
(a) $250,000 within the first year of the JV Agreement for the purchase of used heavy equipment, miscellaneous equipment and materials for processing the Tailings, and taxes, permits, and general operating expenses.
(b) $750,000 within the second year of the JV Agreement for the construction of a heap leach system and floatation plant on the property.
The Company may make an additional $250,000 available to the JV Agreement, if additional processing equipment is justified and required to maximize the liberation of precious metals in the Tailings material. As of September 30, 2013, none of the aforementioned funds have been paid.
As further consideration, the Company is obligated to issue 600,000 shares of the Common Stock to Jaramillo. To date, the Company has issued 300,000 shares of Common Stock to Jaramillo and anticipates issuing the remaining 300,000 shares in the second half of 2013. The shares of Common Stock will be restricted shares and carry current and appropriate legends to that effect.
Jaramillo manages the day-to-day affairs of processing the Tailings, selling the minerals extracted from the Tailings (“Extracted Minerals”), and other activities contemplated by the JV Agreement. Jaramillo will pay all expenses associated with the processing of the Tailings, the sale of any Extracted Minerals from the Tailings, and other obligations of the JV Agreement, initially, from the funds received under the Work Commitment and, eventually, from revenues from operations. All net revenues from the sale of any Extracted Minerals or other sources, after deducting expenses, will be distributed and paid monthly, with 65% of the net revenues paid to Amiko Kay and 35% of the net revenues paid to Jaramillo. It is anticipated that the portion to be paid to Amiko Kay will be paid directly to the Company. Jaramillo will provide a monthly accounting of all revenues and expenses associated with the operations of the JV Agreement.
Title to the property and the Tailings will remain in Jaramillo’s name. Jaramillo will be responsible for obtaining all permits, approvals and authorizations associated with the processing of the Tailings. He is also responsible for causing the project to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to maintain insurance on the property. Amiko Kay will have access to the property and the Tailings at all times during the term of the JV Agreement.
Amiko Kay and Jaramillo will mutually develop plans and programs to process the Tailings. Jaramillo will prepare a detailed budget setting forth the expenses to be paid under the Work Commitment, which will be approved by Amiko Kay. Finally, Jaramillo will provide quarterly financial reports to Amiko Kay.
If either party defaults under the JV Agreement, the defaulting party’s rights to participate in the JV Agreement will be immediately suspended, and the defaulting party will have no right to share in the revenues of the JV Agreement until the breach is cured. If the defaulting party is Jaramillo, then Amiko Kay may perform the duties of Jaramillo under the Agreement. The nondefaulting party may also sue for damages incurred as a result of the event of default.
The JV Agreement will terminate upon completion of processing the Tailings, as determined by Amiko Kay in its sole discretion. If Jaramillo materially breaches the JV Agreement, Amiko Kay may terminate the JV Agreement upon 30 days notice to Jaramillo. Jaramillo has no right to terminate the JV Agreement before the processing of the Tailings is complete.
Jaramillo provides independent consulting services to the Company on the La Candelaria project and acts as Vice President of Exploration on the La Candelaria project (although he is not an executive officer or employee, of the Company, Metales or the Amiko Kay).
Under the JV Agreement, the Company is obligated to fund $250,000 for the benefit of the operations under the JV Agreement before January 26, 2013, under the Work Commitment established for the Tailings Project. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company made payments totaling $250,000 pursuant to the Work Commitment. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company made payments totaling $0 and $10,0000 towards the second year Work Commitment, respectively.

Approximately 6,000 tons of the Tailings material has been sent to the processing plant in Parral, Mexico (the "Parral Plant"). As of the date of this Quarterly Report, this shipment has not been fully processed. The Parral Plant closed unexpectedly during the third quarter of 2012 and reopened in March 2013. It has operated sporadically since March 2013 and had not been able to operate on a consistent basis. Accordingly, the Company estimates that the Parral Plant has accumulated a one year backlog of tailings to process, and the Company does not believe it can rely on the Parral Plant to process a significant amount of the tailings in the foreseeable future. The Company has developed plans to build its own plant capable of processing 150 tons of tailings per day. The cost to build such a plant is estimated to be $1,000,000. The Company is actively seeking investors to fund the construction of a plant. Accordingly, the Company has no revenues from Tailings as of the date of this filing.
The Company is constructing a basic wash plant and jig circuit on the property on which the Tailings are located. The cost of the wash plant and jig circuit, if completed, is expected to be approximately $80,000.
6. Derivative Liability
|
On September 14, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended, (the “Fairhills SPA”) with Fairhills pursuant to which the Company sold 653,595 shares of its $0.001 par value Common Stock (the “Shares”) to Fairhills for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000. The Fairhills SPA provides that in the event that the value of the Shares is less than $50,000 at the earlier of (a) the effective date of a registration statement or (b) such time as the Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Triggering Date”), the Company shall issue additional shares of registered Common Stock to Fairhills (the “Additional Shares’) such that the total value of the Shares and the Additional Shares issued to Fairhills by the Company shall total $50,000 (the “Price Protection Clause”).
The Price Protection Clause gives rise to a derivative. We have measured this derivative at fair value and recognize the derivative value as a current liability and recorded the derivative value on our consolidated balance sheet. The derivative is valued primarily using models based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little to no market activity. These inputs represent management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the liability at the measurement date and thus are classified as Level 3. Changes in the fair values of the derivative are recognized in earnings in the current period. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a derivative liability of $20,980 related to the Price Protection Clause. At December 21, 2012, the effective date of the registration statement, the price protection feature was triggered and additional shares were valued at approximately $30,000. These additional shares have not been issued. On June 26, 2013, the Fairhills SPA was terminated.
On June 27, 2013, the Company entered into a new Securities Purchase Agreement with KVM Capital Partners, LLC (the “KVM SPA”) with essentially the same terms as the Fairhills SPA. Accordingly, the Company recorded a derivative liability related to the KVM SPA. Accordingly, a derivative liability of $67,039 has been recorded as of the end of the quarter ending September 30, 2013. The conversion price shall mean 65% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 35%). "Market Price" means the average of the lowes three (3) Trading Price for the Common Stock during the tenth (10) trading day period ending the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date.
On August 9, 2013, the Company entered into a new Promissory Note Agreement with Asher Enterprise Inc. with similar conversion feature as KVM SPA. Accordingly, the Company recorded a derivative liability related to the note. Accordingly, a derivative liability of $77,546 has been recorded as of the end of the quarter ending September 30, 2013. The conversion price shall mean 55% multiplied by the Market Price (as defined herein) (representing a discount rate of 45%). "Market Price" means the average of the lowest three (3) Trading Price for the Common Stock during the twenty (20) trading day period ending the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date.

General Overview
Lone Star Gold, Inc. (the “Company” or “Lone Star”), formerly known as Keyser Resources, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 26, 2007. We are a start-up exploration stage company in the business of gold and mineral exploration, acquisition and development. Our principal office is located at 6565 Americas Parkway NE, Suite 200, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87110. Our telephone number is (505) 563-5828.
Agreements
La Candelaria Project
On May 31, 2011, Metales HBG, S.A. de C.V. (“Metales”), a company organized under the laws of Mexico, was formed. The Company owns 70% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock and the remaining 30% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Metales is owned by Homero Bustillo Gonzalez (“Gonzalez”). On June 10, 2011, Gonzalez assigned to Metales eight gold and silver mining concessions (the “Concessions”) related to the “La Candeleria” property located in the town of Guachochi, in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. The Concessions cover 800 hectares, or approximately 1,976 acres. The Concessions are sometimes referred to as the “La Candelaria Project”. See Note 5 to the Financial Statements.
If the Company fails to comply with all its obligations under the Option Agreement before January 11, 2014, the Option Agreement will terminate and the Company will be obligated to return the Concessions to Gonzalez. The Company and Gonzalez have verbally agreed that any further Work Plan payments have been put on hold until such time as the Company has sufficient capital to continue the project.
The Concessions are without known proven (measured) or probable (indicated) reserves, as defined under SEC Industry Guide 7, and the exploration program described in this Quarterly Report is exploratory in nature. See “No Proven or Probable Reserves” below.
Tailings Project
On January 26, 2012, the Company, acting through a subsidiary, Amiko Kay, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Amiko Kay”), a company organized under the laws of Mexico, entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Miguel Angel Jaramillo Tapia (“Jaramillo”), a resident of Mexico. Under the JV Agreement, Amiko Kay and Jaramillo agreed to process mine tailings located in the city of Hidalgo Del Parral in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico (the “Tailings”), and, after processing, to use, market and sell any minerals extracted from the Tailings. The JV Agreement provides Amiko Kay the right to receive 65% of the net revenues from the sale of any materials extracted from the Tailings. See Note 6 to the Financial Statements for a description of the JV Agreement.
The Company is obligated to fund $250,000 for the benefit of the processing operation before January 26, 2013, under the work commitment established for the Tailings Project. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company made payments totaling $250,000 pursuant to the Work Commitment. For the three month period ended September 30, 2013, the Company made no payments towards the second year Work Commitment. See “Results of Operations” below.
On the Tailings property, two out of three on-site washing jigs are now complete and operational. The jigs separate the heavy mineral-rich material from the lighter worthless material in the Tailings. The Company had been pre-washing material for approximately three months to maximize the silver and gold content per ton of material to be shipped to nearby floatation and leaching plants in Parral, Mexico. The cost of the wash plant and jig circuit was $60,000 to date. Washing has been halted until the local plant in Parral is operational, as discussed below.
11
Approximately 6,000 tons of the Tailings material has been sent to the processing plant in Parral, Mexico (the "Parral Plant"). As of the date of this Quarterly Report, this shipment has not been fully processed. The Parral Plant closed unexpectedly during the third quarter of 2012 and reopened in March 2013. It has operated sporadically since March 2013 and had not been able to operate on a consistent basis. Accordingly, the Company estimates that the Parral Plant has accumulated a one year backlog of tailings to process, and the Company does not believe it can rely on the Parral Plant to process a significant amount of the tailings in the foreseeable future. The Company has developed plans to build its own plant capable of processing 150 tons of tailings per day. The cost to build such a plant is estimated to be $1,000,000. The Company is actively seeking investors to fund the construction of a plant. Accordingly, the Company has no revenues from Tailings as of the date of this filing.
No Proven or Probable Reserves
We are a start-up, exploration-stage company engaged in the search for gold and related minerals. No proven (measured) or probable (indicated) reserves have been established with respect to the La Candelaria project or the Tailings project, and the proposed program of exploration and development for the La Candelaria project and the Tailings project is exploratory in nature. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit, or reserve, exists on the property covered by the Concessions or the Tailings project or can be shown to exist until sufficient and appropriate exploration is done, and a comprehensive evaluation of such work concludes that the extraction of such a mineral deposit, if found, can be economically and legally feasible.
Investment Agreements
Fairhills Investment Agreement
On April 30, 2012, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (as amended, the “Fairhills Investment Agreement”) with Fairhills Capital Offshore Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Fairhills”), pursuant to which Fairhills agreed to purchase shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $15,000,000. Fairhills assigned their interest in the Fairhills Investment Agreement to Deer Valley Management, LLC ("Deer Valley") on November 12, 2012. During Q1 and Q2 of 2013, the Company exercised its right pursuant to the Fairhills Investment Agreement with Deer Valley to require Deer Valley to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The total amount of these puts is $360,000. There was an additional put exercised in December 2012, the amount of which is $15,000 whose shares were not issued until 2013 as well. The total of these six put shares issuances resulted in 10,810,000 shares being issued in 2013 for proceeds of $375,000. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock under the Fairhills Investment Agreement for general corporate and working capital purposes and acquisitions or assets, businesses or operations.
On June 26, 2013, the Company terminated the Fair Hills agreement.
KVM Investment Agreement
On June 27, 2013, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement (the “KVM Investment Agreement”) with KVM Capital Partners, LLC, a New York limited liability company (“KVM”), pursuant to which KVM agreed to purchase shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of up to $5,000,000.
The KVM Investment Agreement provides that the Company may, from time to time during the Open Period (defined below), in its sole discretion, deliver a put notice to KVM, which states the dollar amount that the Company intends to sell to KVM on a date specified in the put notice. The maximum investment amount per notice shall be no more than two hundred percent (200%) of the average daily volume of the Common Stock for the ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to date of the applicable put notice. The purchase price per share to be paid by KVM will be calculated at a twenty-four and a half percent (24.5%) discount to the lowest trading price of the Common Stock reported by Bloomberg, L.P. during the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately prior to KVM’s receipt of the put notice. The Open Period begins on the trading day after a registration statement is declared effective as to the Common Stock to be subject to the put, and ends thirty-six (36) months after such date, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the KVM Investment Agreement. The Company has reserved 30,000,000 shares of its Common Stock for issuance to KVM under the KVM Investment Agreement.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock under the KVM Investment Agreement for general corporate and working capital purposes and acquisitions or assets, businesses or operations. In accordance with the KVM Investment Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC on July 16, 2013. The registration statement was declared effective on October 21, 2013 and the Company has submitted puts for a total of $10,000 through the date of this report.
Results of Operations
We have not generated any revenue since our inception. We do not anticipate earning revenues until we have begun to commercially produce minerals from the Concessions, the Tailings, or other mineral properties that we may own in the future.

We have committed to fund $450,000 over three years under the La Candelaria Work Plan, and $1,000,000 over two years under the work commitment for the Tailings Project. Because the Company has no revenues from operations, we are dependent upon obtaining additional financing in order to fund our obligations under the Work Plan, and also to fund our obligations under the Tailings Project. The Company has funded its exploratory program to date primarily through sales of its restricted common stock.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we received $375,000 from the sale of 10,810,000 shares of common stock under the Fairhills Investment Agreement, which we used to make certain payments relating to the Company’s Tailings Project, and for general operating expenses. Additionally, we received $42,500 in net proceeds from a loan from KVM (See Note 3 - Debt).
In June 2013, the Company entered into the KVM Investment Agreement with KVM whereby KVM agreed to purchase up to $5 million of the Company’s common stock over a period of up to 36 months.
In connection with the KVM Investment Agreement, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with KVM pursuant to which the Company was obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) covering the resale of the 30,000,000 shares of common stock underlying the KVM Investment Agreement. On July 16, 2013, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC. On October 15, 2013, the registration statement was declared effective by the SEC. The Company has agreed to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC within 120 days after the closing of the transaction and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until termination of the KVM Investment Agreement. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of common stock under the KVM Investment Agreement to fund anticipated general operating expenses of approximately $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per annum, to fund capital expenditures related to the Tailings property and the Candelaria project and for other purposes that the Board of Directors determines to be in the best interest of the Company. In particular, the Company intends to commence construction as soon as possible on an on-site nitrogen leach processing plant at its Tailings property located in the state of Chihuahua, Mexico. The processing plant will enable the Company to maximize the silver and gold content per ton of shipment from the project's mine tailings. The Company currently expects to use the full $5,000,000 available under the KVM Investment Agreement in order to complete the processing plant and other projects that the Company requires in order to commence substantive revenue generating activities on the Tailings project.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Accounting Plan
We intend to continue to have our outside accountants assist us in the preparation of our quarterly and annual financial statements and have these financial statements reviewed or audited by our independent auditor. Our outside accountant is expected to charge us approximately $7,500 to prepare our quarterly financial statements and approximately $20,000 to prepare our annual financial statements.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
