On April 26, 2011, the Company purchased a quitclaim deed for the 76 Property from Can-Am Gold Corp. that conveyed to it all of Can-Am Gold Corp.’s rights, title and interest in 36 unpatented lode mining claims located in Yavapai County, Arizona. The Company paid ten dollars ($10.00) as consideration for the quitclaim deed.

On June 1, 2011, the Company entered into a one year Services and Employee Leasing Agreement with MJI pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay MJI $15,000 a month, as adjusted for additional services or upon the termination of the Agreement, and MJI agreed to make available to the Company six of its employees, including Mr. Bleak, for the purpose of performing management, operations, legal, accounting, and resource location services. The Company also pays the six employees an aggregate of $11,000 a month. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party. On August 1, 2011, the Company amended this Agreement whereby the Company agreed to pay MJI $25,000 per month, as adjusted for additional services or upon the termination of the Agreement.

As of September 30, 2013, accounts payable due to MJI amounted to approximately $1,264,253. Such amount owed to MJI is in connection with unpaid management fees, accrued salaries for services rendered by MJI’s employees and reimbursable expenses paid by MJI for working capital purposes. The Company incurred $75,000 and $225,000 of management fees pursuant to this agreement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
