Item 8.01 Other Events.
(a) The Company is currently drafting an S-1 to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to register 25,000,000 shares of its Series A Preferred Stock. The Company expects the offering price to be $.015 per share for a total capital raise of $375,000. The Company anticipates filing a 15c-211 for the Series A Preferred Stock to obtain a ticker symbol for the Series A Preferred Stock to allow it the stock to trade on the OTC once the S-1 and deemed effective and is closed by the Company. The Company intends to use the proceeds to expand its operations in Peru and Suriname. The Company expects that it will need the $375,000 over the next 6-9 months. Once the Company closes the initial S-1 for the Series A Preferred it intends to file a second S-1 to raise the remaining necessary funds from the Series A Preferred Stock.
(b) While testing the Company’s joint venture project in Suriname the company determined that it may have a located a large gold vein running through the bed rock of the project. The Company has a geologist on site to test the area and to assist in preparing geological reports on the area. However, the Company has determined that it will not be able to execute on its initial plan to conduct alluvial mining in the area due to the fact that the gold bearing sand is only a few feet deep prior to hitting the bed rock. The geologist will prepare a report to determine the feasibility of a core drilling program on the project. The Company expects that it will need to raise $500,000 - $750,000 to purchase the necessary equipment to complete the drilling and prepare a 43-101 on the project. The Company will seek to raise an initial $375,000 of which $200,000 will be used for the drilling program and the remaining $175,000 will be used to purchase equipment for the Company’s Peruvian operations, however; the use of proceeds may change as needed and determined by the Board of Directors. The company has no timetable for the completion of the 43-101 since it depends on many factors such as, but not limited to, how long the geologist report takes and how long it takes the Company to raise the necessary funds.
(c) The Company is still conducting testing on other locations in Suriname to determine the viability of alluvial mining operation while the hard rock project is being developed.
(d) The Company began full alluvial mining operations in Peru in January 2013. After reviewing the data from the Company’s mining operations in Peru, the Company has determined that its Peruvian operations will require an excavator for its Gorila project to be able to fully maximize its gold production. The Gorila project has a layer of clay that slows down the amount of material that can be processed in a day. An excavator on site will significantly increase the amount of material that can be processed. The Company expects an excavator to cost approximately $150,000 to $175,000. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Preferred Stock to acquire the excavator. Until the Company is able to acquire the excavator, the Company will not be able to process the amount of material it had originally hoped to but the Companywill continue production. If the Company is able to maintain its current rate of production, the operations in Peru will continue to be self-sufficient or run at a minor loss. The management has determined that by maintaining its operations in Peru, that it will be cheaper and quicker to reach full production once the excavator is on site.
