PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Overview
We were originally formed as Montrose Ventures, Inc. in the State of Delaware on May 25, 1989. On April 23, 1996, our name was changed to Java Group, Inc., which tried and failed to start a chain of coffee bars. On September 1, 2004 our name was change to Consolidated General Corp., which tried to buy tier 2 and 3 professional sports teams, including the Vancouver Ravens lacrosse team and the San Diego Soccers soccer team. On August 7, 2007, our Certificate of Incorporation was amended and restated, pursuant to which our name was changed to Goldcorp Holdings Co.
On September 14, 2007, we acquired an interest in 174.82 acres of land on War Eagle Mountain in Idaho from two of our major shareholders for a total of 90,000,000 shares of our common stock. We acquired a 100% interest in 103 acres, and a 29.166% interest in 71.82 acres. We also own five placer lease claims on War Eagle Mountain from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, each of which covers approximately 20 acres, or approximately 100 acres in total.
Under the lease, Silver Falcon is responsible for all mining activities on the land, and it is obligated to make annual lease payments of $1,000,000 per year payable monthly, a nonaccountable expense allowance of $10,000 per month for any month in which ore is mined from the property, and a royalty of 15% from any proceeds we receive from a smelter of ore produced from the land. Pierre Quilliam, our chairman and chief executive officer, is also the chairman and chief executive officer of Silver Falcon. The lease expires on April 1, 2023, although Silver Falcon has the right to extend the lease for an additional five years upon payment of a lease extension fee of $1,000,000.
History of Mining on War Eagle Mountain
War Eagle Mountain is one of three peaks in Southwest Idaho that form a contiguous fault trend, and which have all produced minerals from the same veins: Delamar Mountain, Florida Mountain, and War Eagle Mountain.
4
In the summer of 1862, the Oro Fino Vein on top of War Eagle Mountain was discovered. During 1863 a number of lode claims were located and mining in earnest began. By the end of 1875 a total of ten shafts had been sunk in the Oro Fino Vein ranging in depth from 300 feet to 1,250 feet. The Oro Fino Shaft at the North end is 300 feet deep and the Mahogany Shaft at the South end is 1,100 feet deep. The Golden Chariot and Ida Elmore shafts are 1,250 feet and 1,000 feet respectively.
By 1866, all the major mines in the area had been discovered and were being developed. The major mines were the Oro Fino, Cumberland, Poorman, Ida Elmore, Golden Chariot, Minnesota, Mahogany and the Morning Star in Silver City. There were 12 mills in the area with a total of 132 stamps to pulverize the ore, separate the metal from the rock and pour the raw metal into larger rectangular bricks of bullion. This bullion was then shipped out of the area, sometimes as far away as Europe, for refining into pure gold and silver. By the end of 1875, approximately 750,000 ounces of gold equivalent were reportedly extracted from the shafts on War Eagle Mountain.
In August 1875, a financial panic that had started in New York in 1873, culminated with the San Francisco bank crash, and then the closure of the San Francisco Stock Exchange. A nationwide depression occurred, which resulted in source of working capital for the mines drying up. The miners continued to work without pay until October 1875, when they left the mountain for employment elsewhere. During the winter of 1875-1876, because the mine was not being used, the shafts filled with water. This condition has existed for the past 131 years, which has resulted in the preservation of these historical vein systems without being disturbed by intruders or miners.
From 1875 through 1899, mining men who had managed and worked in the underground mines and milling operations tried to promote a project that would allow them to recover the remaining submerged gold and silver reserves they knew existed. Finally, in November 1899, American Smelting and Refining Company (ASARCO) funded the Sinker Tunnel Project. The project objective was to drive a 10 x 10 tunnel from Sinker Creek on the North-East side of War Eagle Mountain, at an elevation of 5200 feet, approximately 2,000 feet below the bottom of the Golden Chariot Shaft. This tunnel was named the Sinker Tunnel, and its intended use was to drain water out of War Eagle Mountain and to haul ore mined from the veins to the surface for milling. The cost of the project was about $250,000 (or the equivalent of $25,000,000 today).
It was anticipated that the Sinker Tunnel would intersect the Oro Fino Vein at about 7,000 feet from the tunnel portal. The Oro Fino Vein was actually intersected at 6,890 feet in May 1902. After the Sinker Tunnel was extended north about 80 feet, a raise was started upwards toward the bottom of the Golden Chariot Shaft. When this raise reached 620 feet in height it was only 150 feet below the bottom of the Golden Chariot Shaft, which contained about 1,100 feet of water. At this point the amount of water permeating down into the raise was increasing every day, which caused the miners to become anxious about their safety, and raised concerns as to how ASARCO would punch the final hole into the bottom of the Golden Chariot shaft. The miners raised concerns with the Idaho Inspector of Mines about the working conditions and their concerns, which resulted in the Idaho Inspector of Mines stopping any further work in the area until safety measures were implemented. At that time, ASARCO elected to close the project down, and return later if conditions changed, which never happened.
During 1932 and 1933, some additional exploration tunnels were driven to the north and to the south from the raise. In 1941, salvagers opened the Sinker Tunnel and removed all the steel rail and pipe scrap for the war effort. Shortly thereafter, a landslide completely buried the tunnel under 50 feet or more of earth and rock, and the Sinker Tunnel complex was forgotten.
5
In 1994, Mineral Extraction, Inc., the current owner at the time, rediscovered the location of the tunnel and over several years refurbished the Sinker Tunnel complex, with the exception of the upper four levels of the raise, nearest the bottom of the Golden Chariot shaft. The entrance was excavated, and a permanent structure was built to protect the site. In addition, the entire length of the Sinker Tunnel was restored. The roads to the Sinker Tunnel Complex were upgraded to allow 25-ton trucks access to the site, and an area 300x400 feet was prepared to act as a staging area at the 7,350 foot level.
The mines on War Eagle Mountain were very productive in the first few years because the surface deposits were of extraordinary richness. As the mines got deeper the veins had a smaller yet more consistent amount of ore in relation to the amount of rock that needed to be removed to expose it. Generally, the value of ore per ton of rock removed remained consistent from a depth of 150 feet to as deep as any of the mines were worked. This would indicate that the extensions of the veins into the deeper levels, not yet reached by the mine shafts, would contain the same percentage of metal ore.
The mines became more expensive to develop and operate as they got deeper. This was not due to a decline in the yield per ton, but due to the increased cost of lifting the mineral ore and of removing water from deeper shafts. The removal of ground water in mines is a persistent expense that must be addressed on a daily basis. When a mine doesn't have a lower working level tunnel like the Sinker Tunnel Complex that intersects a vertical shaft, the water must be brought to the surface and disposed of no matter what the expense or technical inconvenience if the mine is to continue operating. This increased cost of mining at depth was one of the most significant problems for the mines on War Eagle Mountain.
Description of Mining Properties
We have one mining property, which is a variety of land and mining claims on and near War Eagle Mountain, Idaho. War Eagle Mountain is located about 50 miles southwest of Boise, Idaho, and about one mile east of Silver City, Idaho. The Sinker Tunnel is about 15 miles off of State Highway78 and the mine sites on the top of War Eagle Mountain are about 20 miles off of State Highway 78. Access to both the Sinker Tunnel currently is by four wheel drive vehicle or ATV, as only the first seven miles of county roadway off of State Highway 78 is paved. Below is a map illustrating the location and access to the Sinker Tunnel and top of War Eagle Mountain:

Our property on War Eagle Mountain is a combination of owned land and mining claims. We own an undivided 29.167% fee title interest seven properties, and ten unpatented mining claims, which we lease to Silver Falcon under a lease dated October 11, 2007. The lease expires on April 1, 2023, although Silver Falcon has the right to extend the lease for an additional five years upon payment of a lease extension fee of $1,000,000. Under the lease, Silver Falcon is responsible for all mining activities on the land, and it is obligated to make annual lease payments of $1,000,000 per year payable monthly, a nonaccountable expense allowance of $10,000 per month for any month in which ore is mined from the property, and a royalty of 15% from any proceeds we receive from a smelter of ore produced from land. Our owned land and mining claims are listed below:

A patented mining claim is one which the federal government has passed title to the claimant, making the claimant the owner of the surface and mineral rights. An unpatented mining claim is one which is still owned by federal government, but which the claimant has a right to possession to extract minerals. Claims to federal land for mining purposes may be obtained by filing a claim with the Bureau of Land Management and paying a nominal fee. A claim may be maintained as long at the holder engages in mining activity on the claim or, in lieu of mining activity, by filing an annual renewal form and paying an annual fee to the Bureau of Land Management by September 1 of each year. The annual fee is $10 per claim for small miners and $125 per claim for large miners. We are obligated to pay any annual fees to maintain the claims which we lease to Silver Falcon.
We are not the sole owner of seven of the patented claims that we lease to Silver Falcon, and instead we only own 29.166% of the claims. The remaining 70.834% of the patented claims are owned by a large number of descendants of the original parties that obtained the patent rights to the mining claims. Silver Falcon and we are in the process of trying to identify and acquire the remainder of ownership of these mining claims.
Geology of Mining Properties
War Eagle Mountain is the eastern most peak in the War Eagle-Florida-Delamar Mountain trend, which is an east to west chain of mountains in Southwestern Idaho. All three peaks show the same type of gold and silver veins. Kinross Gold Corporation owns Florida and Delamar Mountains. Delamar Mountain, the western most of the three, had been successfully open pit mined from 1977 to the late 1990s.
The host rock on War Eagle Mountain is granite. The veins containing gold and silver are primarily filled fissures in the host rock that occur primarily in a north-south direction. The gold and silver bearing veins of War Eagle Mountain are steeply dipping to subvertical in attitude and are generally oriented in a NS to NW-SE direction. For example, the Oro Fino/Golden Chariot vein, which is the vein that has been mined
8
and explored the most, occurs at an 8 percent tilt to vertical. The textures, mineralogy and geometry of the veins all indicate that they are "epithermal" deposits. This means that, according to the current interpretations, the minerals were deposited by hydrothermal solutions of supercritical very hot, high pressure water that made their way upward through the earths crust, depositing the minerals in the loose rock in the fissures. The richest ores have been found in ore shoots, which are places where small cross-fractures intersect the main vein.
Historical records indicate that the Oro Fino Vein system extends at least some 12,000 feet in a north-south direction and has been observed to vary greatly in thickness (from 0.5 ft to 25 ft) and mill grades of 0.5 to 1.25 Troy ounces of gold per ton. The land that we and Silver Falcon own and lease encompasses only about 600 feet of the Oro Fino Vein system, but all of the major mine shafts that exist on the system. Several large pockets of very rich ore concentration occur have been found scattered throughout at ore shoots. Mill grades at these ore sheets have contained up to 25 Troy ounces per ton have been encountered, with some areas showing grades as high as 90 to 300 oz gold/ton.
It is not known exactly how deep the vein systems are on War Eagle Mountain. The Sinker Tunnel cut through the Oro Fino Vein approximately 2,500 feet below the outcrop on the surface and was still strong and well developed. To date, only about the first 300 to 1100 feet in depth of the Oro Fino Vein has been mined on approximately 15% of its total known length.
Because the host rock on War Eagle Mountain is granite, the mine shafts on War Eagle Mountain are very stable, with minimal need to shore the walls with timber. As a result, the shafts left by prior mining activity are still in usable condition. Also, the Sinker Tunnel Complex needs almost no timber to shore or brace its walls or ceilings.
Mining activity to date has focused on three veins that show at the surface of War Eagle Mountain the Oro Fino Vein system, the Poorman Vein system and the Central Vein system with the Oro Fino Vein being the most productive. The Poorman Vein is about 1,000 feet to the west of the Oro Fino Vein. Historically, the Poorman vein has produced mostly silver. The Oro Fino Vein system has approximately 6 other vein systems associated with it, while some 40 additional main vein systems are believed to exist on War Eagle Mountain.
At present, work on the mine consists largely of vertical mine shafts at the top of War Eagle Mountain, which were started by miners in the 1800s, typically on top of a vein that was evident from an outcropping on the surface. The interiors of the mine shafts are believed to be in good shape, but they are all flooded from groundwater and will have to be drained before active mining can commence. Silver Falcon plans to drain the mine shafts by connecting them to the Sinker Tunnel below. We have recollared five mine shafts with stones and steel rails to make them safer and prevent rain water from entering the mines. Prior owners of the Sinker Tunnel refurbished the tunnel entrance, but Silver Falcon plans additional improvements to the Sinker Tunnel entrance.
Water is available through wells on the property. Power will be supplied by generators.
None of the properties have been surveyed by a competent professional engineer, nor have the properties been evaluated to determine whether any mineral deposits can be mined profitably at current market rates. Therefore, the properties are without known reserves and our proposed mining activities are exploratory in nature at this time. The most comprehensive survey of the mineralogy of War Eagle Mountain is a report issued by the Idaho Bureau of Mines and Geology in 1926. However, the authors of the report did not have access to the flooded mine shafts, and developed their report from visual observation of the surface, reports of past mining activity, and interviews with mining engineers who had previously worked at the site. Other reports include a report prepared in 1928 by Sinker Tunnel Mining Co., which at the time was in the process of refurbishing and extending the Sinker Tunnel, and a report issued by Copper Range Exploration in 1970. However, the mountain has never been surveyed with a comprehensive scheme of core samples to locate and assess the veins that exist on the mountain. All representations of potential quantities of minerals are based on historical records which are believed to be accurate, but which may not have been performed pursuant to modern standards for evaluating mineral claims

.
Competition
We have no competition for the extraction of minerals from War Eagle Mountain, since no other mining company has an interest on War Eagle Mountain at this time. However, the mineral extraction business in general is highly competitive. Numerous larger mining companies actively seek out and bid for mining prospects and properties as well as for the services of third-party providers and supplies, such as mining equipment, transportation equipment and smelters, upon which we rely. Many of these companies not only explore for, produce and market minerals, but also carry out smelting and refining operations and market the resultant products on a worldwide basis. Most of our competitors have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and personnel resources than we do.
Competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of legislation and regulation considered from time to time by the government of the United States and the states in which we have operations, as well as factors that we cannot control, including international political conditions, overall levels of supply and demand for minerals, and currency fluctuations.
Markets and Major Customers
Silver Falcon will process all ore derived from War Eagle Mountain into dore bars and then contract with a smelter to refine the dore bars and purchase any resulting minerals at market prices, less a commission. There are a number of smelters which will refine ore on a contract basis, and it intends to use the smelter that provides the most economical terms and service. Under our lease agreement with Silver Falcon, we are entitled to a royalty of 15% of any amounts paid Silver Falcon by the processor.
Seasonality of Business
Weather conditions will affect the ability of Silver Falcon to mine ore from our property. Generally, from November to April of each year the road leading to the property is impassable because of snow. Silver Falcon plans to mine and deliver more ore to the smelter than it can process when the roads are passable to ensure a steady stream of revenues throughout the year.
Operational Risks
Mining involves a high degree of risk, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Mining involves the risk that fires, shaft collapses, flooding, equipment failure, human error and other circumstances may cause significant injury to persons or property, and may affect our ability to extract mine ore from our properties without significant additional capital expenditures. In such event, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the satisfaction of which could substantially reduce available cash and possibly result in loss of our leased mining properties. Such hazards may also cause damage to or destruction of our mine shafts,
10
producing formations, production facilities, storage and transportation facilities, or other processing facilities.
We will not insure fully against all risks associated with our business either because such insurance is not available or because we believe the premium costs are prohibitive. A loss not fully covered by insurance could have a materially adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. For further discussion on risks see Risk Factors below.
Regulation
Mining operations on War Eagle Mountain will be affected by numerous laws and regulations, including environmental, conservation, tax and other laws and regulations relating to the resource industry. Most of the extraction operations will require permits or authorizations from federal, provincial or local agencies. Silver Falcon is responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations under the terms of our lease with Silver Falcon, but the denial or vacating of permits needed by Silver Falcon could have a material adverse effect on our revenues from Silver Falcon under the lease. In view of the many uncertainties with respect to current and future laws and regulations, we cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on our future revenues.
We expect that Silver Falcons operations will comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations. We believe that the existence and enforcement of such laws and regulations will have no more restrictive an effect on Silver Falcons operations than on other similar companies in the resource industry.
Environmental
General. Mining operations on War Eagle Mountain are subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control in the United States. The extraction of mineral ore, as well as smelting and refining ore, are subject to stringent environmental regulation by state and federal authorities, including the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). Such regulation can increase the cost of planning, designing, installing and operating mining facilities.
Significant fines and penalties may be imposed for the failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations. Some environmental laws provide for joint and several strict liability for remediation of releases of hazardous substances, rendering a person liable for environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such person. In addition, we may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous substances.
Waste Disposal. Mining operations on War Eagle Mountain may generate wastes, including hazardous wastes, that are subject to the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") and comparable state statutes. The EPA has limited the disposal options for certain wastes that are designated as hazardous under RCRA ("Hazardous Wastes"). Furthermore, it is possible that certain wastes generated by mining operations on War Eagle Mountain that are currently exempt from treatment as Hazardous Wastes may in the future be designated as Hazardous Wastes, and therefore be subject to more rigorous and costly operating and disposal requirements.
CERCLA. The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), also known as the "Superfund" law, generally imposes joint and several liability for costs of investigation and remediation and for natural resource damages, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons with respect to the release into the environment of substances designated under CERCLA as hazardous substances ("Hazardous Substances"). These classes of persons or so-called potentially responsible parties include the current and certain past owners and operators of a facility where there is or has been a release or threat of release of a Hazardous Substance and persons who disposed of or arranged for the disposal of the Hazardous Substances found at such a facility. CERCLA also authorizes the EPA and, in some cases, third parties to take action in response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek to recover from the potentially responsible parties the costs of such action. Mining operations on War Eagle Mountain may generate wastes that fall within CERCLA's definition of Hazardous Substances, and predecessor mining companies on our properties may have generated wastes that fall within CERCLA's definition of Hazardous Substances.
11
Air Emissions. Mining operations on War Eagle Mountain may be subject to local, state and federal regulations for the control of emissions of air pollution. Major sources of air pollutants are subject to more stringent, federally imposed permitting requirements, including additional permits. If ozone problems are not resolved by the deadlines imposed by the federal Clean Air Act, or on schedule to meet the standards, even more restrictive requirements may be imposed, including financial penalties based upon the quantity of ozone producing emissions. If the operator of mining operations on War Eagle Mountain fails to comply strictly with applicable air pollution regulations or permits, we may be subject to monetary fines and be required to correct any identified deficiencies. Alternatively, regulatory agencies could require us to forego construction, modification or operation of certain air emission sources.
We believe that we are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws and regulations and that, absent the occurrence of an extraordinary event, compliance with existing local, state, federal and international laws, rules and regulations governing the release of materials in the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment will not have a material effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not incurred any research or development expenditures in the last two fiscal years.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.
Employees and Consultants
At February 26, 2010, we had two employees.
We have no collective bargaining agreements with our employees, and believe all consulting and employment agreements relationships are satisfactory. We hire independent contractors on an as- needed basis, and we may retain additional employees and consultants during the next twelve months, including additional executive management personnel with substantial experience in the mining exploration and development business.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
We Have No Revenue To Date From Our Mining Properties, Which May Negatively Impact Our Ability To Achieve Our Business Objectives.
12
Since acquiring our mining properties in September 2007, we have experienced losses from our operations. Our ability to become profitable will be dependent on the receipt of revenues from the lease of our mining properties greater than our operational expenses. We do not need to raise capital to mine our properties because we have leased the mining rights to Silver Falcon. However, we will not receive any revenues from mining on our properties until Silver Falcon commences mining operations. Silver Falcon needs to raise capital before it can commence mining our properties, and therefore we will not have revenues until Silver Falcon raises the capital it needs. Until we receive revenues from Silver Falcon, we are dependent on the deferral of salaries by our officers and loans from our officers to pay routine administrative expenses. If Silver Falcon cannot commence actual mining operations, we may never generate revenues and may never become profitable.
The Properties In Which We Have An Interest Do Not Have Any Known Reserves.
None of the properties in which we have an interest have any reserves. To date, we have engaged in only limited preliminary exploration activities on the properties. Accordingly, we do not have sufficient information upon which to assess the ultimate success of our exploration efforts. If we do not establish reserves, we may be required to curtail or suspend our operations, in which case the market value of our common stock may decline, and you may lose all or a portion of your investment.
Silver Falcon And We Have No Operating History as a Mining Company, Which May Hinder Silver Falcons Ability To Make Lease And Royalty Payments To Us.
Neither we nor Silver Falcon have any operating history as a mining company upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects. Furthermore, no member of our management has any technical training or experience in minerals exploration or mining. We have only owned mining properties since our acquisition of properties on War Eagle Mountain in September 2007. Silver Falcon first entered the mining industry when it leased our properties on War Eagle Mountain in October 2007.
We do not have an established history of locating and developing properties that have mining reserves. As a result, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven. In addition, because of our limited operating history, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. We may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends and will be subject to the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in evolving markets such as ours. We may also make decisions and choices that do not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral exploration companies commonly use. We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks and uncertainties. Failure to adequately do so could cause our business, results of operations and financial condition to suffer.
Our Ability To Become Profitable Is Subject To Silver Falcons Success in the Mining Business, Which Is Subject To Risks Inherent In The Mining Business
Silver Falcons ability to become profitable is subject to the economic risks typically associated with mineral extraction and processing business, including the necessity of making significant expenditures to mine properties and to test potential reserves. The availability of mining and transportation equipment and the cost of actual mining operations is often uncertain. In conducting mining activities, the presence of unanticipated irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause exploration, development and, if warranted, production activities to be unsuccessful. This could result in a total loss of Silver Falcons investment, which would jeopardize its ability to make lease and royalty payments to us. If Silver Falcon is not successful in producing minerals from mineral ore mined from our property in economically viable quantities, and its mining activities will cease, and it will be unable to make lease and royalty payments to us.
13
We Have A Very Small Management Team And The Loss Of Any Member Of This Team May Prevent Us From Implementing Our Business Plan In A Timely Manner; Our Management Has Substantial Outside Business Interests.
We have two executive officers and a limited number of additional consultants. Our success depends largely upon the continued services of Pierre Quilliam, our Chief Executive Officer and Allan Breitkreuz, our Vice President. We need additional executive personnel in order to fulfill our business plan and satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company in a timely fashion. We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on the lives of any of our officers. The loss of any of our officers could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. In such an event, we may not be able to recruit personnel to replace our officers in a timely manner, or at all, on acceptable terms.
Furthermore, the employment agreements with our executive officers permit them to have outside business interests, such that they are not required to devote 100% of their working time to our business. Mr. Quilliam estimates that he spends about 95% of his working time on activities related to the commencement of mining operations on War Eagle Mountain through Silver Falcon and us. Mr. Breitkreuz estimates that he spends about 25% of his working time on activities related to the commencement of mining operations on War Eagle Mountain through Silver Falcon and us. The fact that Messrs. Quilliam and Breitkreuz have outside business interests could lessen their focus on our business.
Our Directors Have A Material Conflict of Interest With Respect To Our Mining Lease With Silver Falcon.
Our mining operations are based upon a lease of our mining rights on War Eagle Mountain to Silver Falcon. Both of our directors, Pierre Quilliam and Allan Breitkreuz, are directors of Silver Falcon. To the extent issues arise between Silver Falcon and us under the lease, we do not have any disinterested directors or officers to represent our interests, and any resolution will not be on arms-length terms.
We Have Substantial Commitments That Require That We Raise Capital.
As of December 31, 2009, we had $0 of cash, current assets of $3,000, current liabilities of $1,746,176, and a working capital deficit of ($1,743,176). A substantial part of our current liabilities consist of debts that we only have to pay if funds are available, such as loans from related parties of $420,492 and accrued compensation to our officers of $1,191,667. However, we have $74,715 of accounts payable to third parties. To date, until we begin receiving lease payments from Silver Falcon, we have relied upon loans from Silver Falcon to pay essential expenses. We expect that we will be able to pay our liabilities in the normal course of business from cash flow from our lease if Silver Falcon is able to commence operations. If Silver Falcon is not able to commence operations, we will have to raise capital in order to pay our liabilities, which we expect would be dilutive to existing shareholders.
The Mining Industry Historically Is A Cyclical Industry And Market Fluctuations In The Prices Of Minerals Could Adversely Affect Silver Falcons Business And Our Lease Revenues From Silver Falcon.
14
Prices for minerals tend to fluctuate significantly in response to factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:
·
weather conditions in the United States and elsewhere;
·
economic conditions in the United States and elsewhere;
·
political instability in Africa and other major mineral producing regions;
·
governmental regulations, both domestic and foreign;
·
domestic and foreign tax policy;
·
the pace adopted by foreign governments for the exploration, development, and production of their national reserves;
·
the price of foreign imports of minerals;
·
the cost of exploring for, producing and processing raw mineral ore;
·
the rate of decline of existing and new mineral reserves;
·
available transportation capacity;
·
the ability of mineral extraction companies to raise capital;
·
the overall supply and demand for minerals; and
Changes in commodity prices may significantly affect our capital resources, liquidity and expected operating results. Price changes will directly affect revenues and can indirectly impact expected production by changing the amount of funds available to reinvest in exploration and development activities. Reductions in mineral prices not only reduce revenues and profits, but could also reduce the quantities of reserves that are commercially recoverable. Significant declines in prices could result in non-cash charges to earnings due to impairment. Neither we nor Silver Falcon currently engage in any hedging program to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in mineral prices.
15
Changes in commodity prices may also significantly affect our ability to estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and divestiture and often cause disruption in the market for mineral properties, as buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on the value of the properties. Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions and the development and exploitation of projects. We expect that commodity prices will continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.
We Are Required to Share Our Profits Derived From Properties In Which We Do Not Own 100% Fee Title.
We only own a 29.166% undivided interest in 71.82 acres of land on War Eagle Mountain. Under Idaho law, we are required to pay the other joint tenant owners of the land their pro rata share of any revenues we derive from minerals extracted from their property, less operating costs we incur. We do not have any formal agreement with the majority owners of the 71.82 acres of land on War Eagle Mountain regarding the allocation of revenues between 71.82 acres in which they have an interest and the other acreage we own or lease on War Eagle Mountain, or the determination and allocation of costs properly chargeable against revenues allocated to their interests. Accordingly, there is a possibility that we may get into disputes with the majority owners of the 71.82 acres of land on War Eagle Mountain, which could adversely affect our profitability.
If We Or Our Operators Fail To Maintain Adequate Insurance, Our Business Could Be Materially And Adversely Affected.
Our operations are subject to risks inherent in the mining industry, such as mine collapses, flooding, explosions, fires, pollution, earthquakes and other environmental risks. These risks could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage, and suspension of operations. We could be liable for environmental damages caused by previous property owners. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We do not currently carry insurance to protect us against any of these potential liabilities. We expect that Silver Falcon will obtain insurance before it formally commences mining operations on our land, but at this time Silver Falcon also does not carry insurance to cover any of these potential liabilities.
Complying With Environmental And Other Government Regulations Could Be Costly And Could Negatively Impact Silver Falcons Production, Which Would Adversely Impact Our Royalty Revenues From Silver Falcon.
The mining business is governed by numerous laws and regulations at various levels of government. These laws and regulations govern the operation and maintenance of any facilities on War Eagle Mountain, the discharge of materials into the environment and other environmental protection issues. Such laws and regulations may, among other potential consequences, require that any operator of mining operations on War Eagle Mountain acquire permits before commencing operations and restrict the substances that can be released into the environment with mining and production activities.
Under our lease of War Eagle Mountain to Silver Falcon, Silver Falcon is primarily responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to the mining operations. However, to the extent that Silver Falcon violates laws and regulations, and is financially unable to satisfy any damages or claims arising out of its violations, we could be liable for those damages or claims, which may include claims for personal injury, clean-up costs and other environmental and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties. Prior to commencement of mining operations by Silver Falcon, we may secure limited insurance coverage for sudden and accidental environmental damages as well as environmental damage that occurs over time. However, we do not believe that insurance coverage for the full potential liability of environmental damages is available at a reasonable cost. Accordingly, we could be liable, or could be required to cease production on properties, if environmental damage occurs.
The costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations could occur that result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

There Is No Limited Market For Our Common Stock.
The trading market for our common stock is limited. Our common stock is eligible for trading on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board exchange, but is not eligible for trading on any national or regional securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market. A more active trading market for our common stock may never develop, or if such a market develops, it may not be sustained.
Our Common Stock is Subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the Trading Market in Our Securities is Limited, Which Makes Transactions in Our Stock Cumbersome and May Reduce the Value of an Investment in Our Stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
·
that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
·
the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
·
obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and
·
make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
·
sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
·
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
17
We Will Incur Significant Costs As A Result Of Operating As A Public Company. We May Not Have Sufficient Personnel For Our Financial Reporting Responsibilities, Which May Result In The Untimely Close Of Our Books And Record And Delays In The Preparation Of Financial Statements And Related Disclosures.
As a registered public company, we will experience an increase in legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, has imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly.
If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identifies additional deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC and other regulatory authorities.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
A description of our mining properties is included in Item 1. Description of Business and is incorporated herein by reference.
We believe that we have satisfactory title to the properties owned and used in our business, subject to liens for taxes not yet payable, liens incident to minor encumbrances, liens for credit arrangements and easements and restrictions that do not materially detract from the value of these properties, our interests in these properties, or the use of these properties in our business. We believe that our properties are adequate and suitable for us to conduct business in the future.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Company is not a party to any material legal proceedings at this time.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.
No matters were voted upon by the stockholders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year, as required to be reported upon by the Company in response to this Item 4.
PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES.
During 2008 and most of 2009, our common stock was not traded. On November 23, 2009, our common stock began to trade on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol GHDC. The following
18
table summarizes the low and high prices for our common stock for each of the calendar quarters of 2008 and 2009.
2008 | 2009 | |||
High | Low | High | Low | |
First Quarter | - | - | - | - |
Second Quarter | - | - | - | - |
Third Quarter | - | - | - | - |
Fourth Quarter | - | - | 0.13 | 0.005 |
There were 147 shareholders of record of the common stock as of February 26, 2010. This number does not include an indeterminate number of shareholders whose shares are held by brokers in street name.
Our common stock is subject to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") regulating broker dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Those disclosure rules applicable to "penny stocks" require a broker dealer, prior to a transaction in a "penny stock" not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized disclosure document prepared by the Commission. That disclosure document advises an investor that investment in "penny stocks" can be very risky and that the investor's salesperson or broker is not an impartial advisor, but rather paid to sell the shares. The disclosure contains further warnings for the investor to exercise caution in connection with an investment in "penny stocks," to independently investigate the security, as well as the salesperson the investor is working with and to understand the risky nature of an investment in this security. The broker dealer must also provide the customer with certain other information and must make a special written determination that the "penny stock" is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Further, the rules require that, following the proposed transaction, the broker provide the customer with monthly account statements containing market information about the prices of the securities. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. Many brokers may be unwilling to engage in transactions in our common stock because of the added disclosure requirements, thereby making it more difficult for stockholders to dispose of their shares.
Dividend Policy
We have not declared any cash dividends on our Common Stock during our fiscal years ended on December 31, 2009 or 2008. Our Board of Directors has made no determination to date to declare cash dividends during the foreseeable future, but is not likely to do so. There are no restrictions on our ability to pay dividends.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.
Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This Annual Report on Form 10-K includes forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Forward Looking Statements). All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this report are Forward Looking Statements. In the normal course of our business, we, in an effort to help keep our shareholders and the public informed about our operations, may from time-to-time issue certain statements, either in writing or orally, that contain or may contain Forward-Looking Statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such Forward Looking Statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Generally, these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits or other consequences of such plans or strategies, past and possible future, of acquisitions and projected or anticipated benefits from acquisitions made by or to be made by us, or projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, levels of capital expenditures or other aspects of operating results. All phases of our operations are subject to a number of uncertainties, risks and other influences, many of which are outside of our control and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect the results of our proposed operations and whether Forward Looking Statements made by us ultimately prove to be accurate. Such important factors (Important Factors) and other factors could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are disclosed in this report, including those factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors. All prior and subsequent written and oral Forward Looking Statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the Important Factors described below that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations as set forth in any Forward Looking Statement made by or on behalf of us.

Overview
On September 14, 2007, we acquired an interest in 174.82 acres of land on War Eagle Mountain in Idaho from two of our major shareholders for a total of 90,000,000 shares of our common stock. We acquired a 100% interest in 103 acres, and a 29.166% interest in 71.82 acres. We also own five placer lease claims on War Eagle Mountain from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, each of which covers approximately 20 acres, or approximately 100 acres in total.
On October 11, 2007, we entered into a lease of our mineral rights to Silver Falcon, which is responsible for all mining activities on War Eagle Mountain. We are entitled to annual lease payments of $1,000,000, payable on a monthly basis, a monthly nonaccountable expense reimbursement of $10,000 during any month in which ore is mined from the leased premises, and a royalty of 15% of all amounts paid to Silver Falcon from the processing of ore mined from our properties. The lease initially provided that lease payments must commence April 1, 2008. Because Silver Falcon has been unable to commence operations according to its original schedule, we have agreed to extend the commencement date several times. The current commencement date is July 1, 2010. Silver Falcon currently expects to begin operations by April 30, 2010.
Initially, Silver Falcons operations will consist of processing tailings left on the mine site from prior mining operations. Later, after Silver Falcon completes a confirmation program to prove up and locate reserves on the property, and make further capital improvements to the mine site, it plans to begin mining and processing raw ore.
Our revenue, profitability, and future growth rate depend substantially on factors beyond our control, including Silver Falcons success in the commencement of mining operations on our properties, as well as economic, political, and regulatory developments and fluctuations in the market prices of minerals processed from ore derived from our properties.
Results of Operations
Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
We are in the exploration stage and have generated no revenues in the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.
We reported losses from operations during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 of ($279,782) and ($302,869), respectively. The decreased operating loss in 2009 as compared to 2008 was largely attributable to decreased general and administrative expenses in 2009, as compared to 2008. General and administrative expenses decreased from $33,523 in 2008 to $14,385 in 2009, largely as a result of a reduction in legal fees.
We reported a net loss during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 of ($310,650) and ($312,294), respectively. The decreased net loss in 2009 as compared to 2008 was largely attributable to a decreased loss from operations, offset by higher interest expense in 2009 as compared to 2008 as a result of higher level of interest bearing debt in 2009.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
Our balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 reflects current assets of $3,000, current liabilities of $1,746,176, and a working capital deficit of ($1,743,176). However, most of our current liabilities consist of accrued compensation our management or loans from related parties.
At this time, we have no revenues. We have executed a lease agreement with Silver Falcon, which provides for an annual lease payment of $1,000,000 payable in monthly installments, and a royalty equal to 15% of the proceeds of any ore mined from our property on War Eagle Mountain. However, we do not expect to begin receiving lease payments from Silver Falcon until the commencement date of the lease, which has most recently been extended to July 1, 2010. Until we begin receiving lease payments from Silver Falcon, we are dependent on the deferral of salaries by our management, and loans from our officers and a significant shareholder to pay other administrative expenses.
21
Going Concern
Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we incurred a net operating loss in the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and have no revenues at this time. These factors create an uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are currently trying to raise capital through a private offering of preferred stock. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the success of this plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that 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 are material to investors.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements. At this time, we are not required to make any material estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. However, as we begin actual mining operations, we may be required to make estimates and assumptions typical of other companies in the mining business.
For example, we will be required to make critical accounting estimates related to future metals prices, obligations for environmental, reclamation, and closure matters, mineral reserves, and accounting for business combinations. The estimates will require us to rely upon assumptions that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made, and changes in them are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements in the future.
Our estimates will be based on our experience and our interpretation of economic, political, regulatory, and other factors that affect our business prospects. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Remediation Initiatives
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Pierre Quilliam, who is both our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in those reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers (i.e., Mr. Quilliam), or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2009. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer has concluded that, as of the evaluation date, such controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in internal controls
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
23
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and implemented by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As of December 31, 2009 we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer (our principle executive officer), our chief operating officer and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO Framework. Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.
A material weakness is defined within the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's Auditing Standard No. 5 as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Based upon this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only managements report in this annual report.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.
In the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, we have retained W.T. Uniack & Co. CPA's P.C. ("Uniack") as our principal accountants. We understand the need for our principal accountants to maintain objectivity and independence in their audit of our financial statements. To minimize relationships that could appear to impair the objectivity of our principal accountants, our board has restricted the non-audit services that our principal accountants may provide to us primarily to tax services and audit related services. We are only to obtain non-audit services from our principal accountants when the services offered by our principal accountants are more effective or economical than services available from other service providers, and, to the extent possible, only after competitive bidding. The board has adopted policies and procedures for pre-approving work performed by our principal accountants.
After careful consideration, the board has determined that payment of the audit fees is in conformance with the independent status of our principal independent accountants.
Audit Fees: The aggregate fees billed for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements for 2008 and 2009 was $15,000 and $15,000, respectively.
Audit-Related Fees: The aggregate fees billed for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review for the audit or review of our annual financial statements and the review of financial statements and are not reported under the previous item, Audit Fees, was $0 and $0 respectively.
Tax Fees: The aggregate fees billed for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance and tax planning was $0 and $0, respectively.
All Other Fees: The aggregate fees billed for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 for products and services provided by the principal accountant other than the services reported above was $0 and $0, respectively.
