Black
Hawk Exploration, Inc. (the “Company”,
“us”,
“we”,
“our”
is registering a total of 39,435,294 shares of our common stock. Of the shares
being registered, 21,435,294 are being registered for sale by current holders of
our common shares as listed in ‘Selling Shareholders” further in this
Registration Statement (the “Selling Shareholders”), and 18,000,000 are being
registered for sale by us.
The
offering of the 18,000,000 shares is a “best efforts” offering, which means that
our directors and officers will use their best efforts to sell the common stock
and there is no commitment by any person to purchase any
shares. There is no minimum number of shares required to be sold to
close the offering. However, each individual subscriber must purchase a minimum
of 5,000 shares. The offering period will be open for 180 days and our
management at their sole discretion may terminate the offering at any time prior
to the expiration of the initial 180 days of the offering. Proceeds from the
sale of the shares will be used to fund the initial stages of the Company’s
exploration of its mineral properties. This offering will end no later than six
(6) months from the offering date. The offering date is the date by which this
registration statement becomes effective. This is a direct participation
offering since we, and not an underwriter, are offering the stock.
We are
also registering 21,435,294 previously
issued shares
of our common stock, which may be resold from time to time by certain Selling
Shareholders. These shares were acquired by the Selling Shareholders
directly from us in private offerings that were exempt from registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. A registration statement under the
Exchange Act relating to these securities has been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Our Selling Shareholders may not offer or sell their shares
of our common stock until this registration statement is declared effective. We
have been advised by the Selling Shareholders that they may offer to sell all or
a portion of their shares of common stock being offered in this prospectus from
time to time. Please see “Plan of Distribution” at page 26 for a detailed
explanation of how the securities may be sold. The Selling Shareholders may sell
all or a portion of their shares through public or private transactions at
prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. We will not receive
any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the Selling Shareholders. The
primary affiliates of our company, Kevin M. Murphy (our President, Chief
Executive Officer, and Director) and Howard Bouch (our Director, Secretary and
Treasurer) will be selling their shares of our common stock in this
offering.

This
Prospectus, and any supplement to this Prospectus include “forward-looking
statements”. To the extent that the information presented in this Prospectus
discusses financial projections, information or expectations about our business
plans, results of operations, products or markets, or otherwise makes statements
about future events, such statements are forward-looking. Such forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of words such as “intends”,
“anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “projects”, “forecasts”, “expects”,
“plans” and “proposes”. Although we believe that the expectations
reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable
assumptions, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking
statements. These include, among others, the cautionary statements in
the “Risk Factors” section beginning on Page 10 of this Prospectus and the
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of
Operations” section elsewhere in this Prospectus.
This
summary only highlights selected information contained in greater detail
elsewhere in this Prospectus. This summary may not contain all of the
information that you should consider before investing in our common stock. You
should carefully read the entire Prospectus, including “Risk Factors” beginning
on Page 10, and the consolidated financial statements, before making an
investment decision
All
dollar amounts refer to US dollars unless otherwise indicated.

corporate resident agent in Nevada is Southwest Business Services LLC located at
9360 W.
Flamingo, Suite #110-158,
Las Vegas, Nevada 89147. Our fiscal year end is August 31st.

issued and outstanding common shares after the close of the
offering.

The
purchase of the shares of common stock being offered pursuant to this prospectus
is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. An investment in our common
stock may result in a complete loss of the invested amount.
RISK
FACTORS
In
addition to other information in this report, the following risk factors should
be carefully considered in evaluating our business because such factors may have
a significant impact on our business, operating results, liquidity and financial
condition. As a result of the risk factors set forth below, actual results could
differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we
currently consider to be immaterial, may also impact our business, operating
results, liquidity and financial condition. If any such risks occur, our
business, operating results, liquidity and financial condition could be
materially affected in an adverse manner. Under such circumstances, the trading
price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your
investment.
Risks
Associated with our Business
We
are an exploration stage corporation, lack a business history and have losses
that we expect to continue into the future. If the losses continue we will have
to suspend operations or cease functioning.
We were
incorporated on April 14, 2005, and have only started our proposed business but
have not realized any revenues. We have no business history upon which an
evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss since
inception is $741,944.
Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is
dependent upon:
●
|
our
ability to find a profitable exploration property;
|
|
●
|
our
ability to generate revenues; and
|
|
●
|
our
ability to reduce exploration
costs.
|
There can
be no assurance that we will be able to achieve any of the above and if our
losses continue we will have to suspend operations or cease
functioning.
Because
of the speculative nature of exploration of mineral properties, we may never
discover a commercially exploitable quantity of minerals, our business may fail
and investors may lose their entire investment.
We are in
the very early exploration stage and cannot guarantee that our exploration work
will be successful, or that any minerals will be found, or that any production
of minerals will be realized. The search for valuable minerals as a business is
extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that
exploration on our properties will establish that commercially exploitable
reserves of minerals exist on our property. Additional potential
problems that may prevent us from discovering any reserves of minerals on our
property include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to
exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.
If we are unable to establish the presence of commercially exploitable reserves
of minerals on our property our ability to fund future exploration activities
will be impeded, we will not be able to operate profitably and investors may
lose all of their investment in our company.
3
Because
of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in mineral exploration
ventures, we face a high risk of business failure.
Potential
investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new
mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such
enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of
the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in
connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to
undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to,
unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and
expenses that may exceed current estimates. The expenditures to be
made by us in the exploration of the mineral claim may not result in the
discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected
formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often
result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our
exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to
abandon our claims. If this happens, our business will likely
fail.
Because
of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we
may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.
The
search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may
become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and
other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not
to insure. At the present time we have no coverage to insure against these
hazards. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on
our financial position.
We
have no known mineral reserves and we may not find any gold, silver or lithium
if we find gold, silver or lithium it may not be in economic quantities. If we
fail to find any gold, silver or lithium or if we are unable to find gold or
lithium in economic quantities, we will have to suspend operations.
We have
no known mineral reserves. Even if we find gold, silver or lithium, it may not
be of sufficient quantity so as to warrant recovery. Additionally, even if we
find gold, silver or lithium in sufficient quantity to warrant recovery it
ultimately may not be recoverable. Finally, even if any gold, silver or lithium
is recoverable, we do not know that this can be done at a profit. Failure to
locate gold, silver or lithium in economically recoverable quantities will cause
us to suspend operations.
We
may be adversely affected by fluctuations in ore and precious metal prices. If
prices decrease, we may be unable to achieve profitability.
The value
and price of our shares of common stock, our financial results, and our
exploration, development and mining activities, if any, may be significantly
adversely affected by declines in the price of precious metals and
ore. Mineral prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous
factors beyond our control such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or
deflation, fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign
currencies, global and regional supply and demand, and the political and
economic conditions of mineral producing countries throughout the
world.
4
The
prices used in making resource estimates for mineral projects are disclosed, and
generally use significantly lower metal prices than daily metals prices quoted
in the news media. The percentage change in the price of a metal cannot be
directly related to the estimated resource quantities, which are affected by a
number of additional factors. For example, a 10% change in price may have little
impact on the estimated resource quantities, or it may result in a significant
change in the amount of resources. If prices decrease, we may be
unable to achieve profitability.
Transportation
difficulties and weather interruptions may affect and delay proposed mining
operations and impact our proposed business.
Our
mining properties are accessible by road. The climate in the area is hot and dry
in the summer but cold and subject to snow in the winter, which could at times
hamper accessibility depending on the winter season precipitation levels. As a
result, our exploration and mining plans could be delayed for several months
each year.
Supplies
needed for exploration may not always be available. If we are unable to secure
exploration supplies we may have to delay our anticipated business
operations.
Competition
and unforeseen limited sources of supplies needed for our proposed exploration
work could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies of certain products,
equipment or materials. There is no guarantee we will be able to obtain certain
products, equipment and/or materials as and when needed, without interruption,
or on favorable terms. Such delays could affect our anticipated business
operations and increase our expenses.
Management
will devote only a limited amount of time to our business. Failure of our
management to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business plans may
adversely affect the success of our business.
Mr. Kevin
M. Murphy and Mr. Howard Bouch will each be devoting approximately 20 hours per
week to our business. Failure of our management to devote a sufficient amount of
time to our business plans may adversely affect the success of our
business.
Management
lacks formal training in mineral exploration. Our business, earnings and
ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm as a result of
management’s lack of experience in the industry.
Our
officers and directors have no professional accreditation or formal training in
the business of mineral exploration. With no direct training or experience in
these areas our management may not be fully aware of many of the specific
requirements related to working within this industry. Decisions so made without
this knowledge may not take into account standard engineering management
approaches that experienced exploration corporations commonly make.
Consequently, our business, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer
irreparable harm as a result of management’s lack of experience in the
industry.
Risks
Associated with our Common Stock
We
do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the shares of our
stock.
We have
never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends
for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional
funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources
may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to
declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come
through an increase in the stock’s price. This may never happen and
investors may lose all of their investment in us.
5
Because
we can issue additional shares of common stock, purchasers of our common stock
may incur immediate dilution and may experience further dilution.
We are
authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, of which
60,236,722 shares are issued and outstanding. Our board of directors has the
authority to cause us to issue additional shares of common stock, and to
determine the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, without consent
of any of our stockholders. Consequently, the stockholders may experience more
dilution in their ownership of our stock in the future.
A
decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise
further working capital, it may adversely impact our ability to continue
operations and we may go out of business.
A
prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction
in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise
capital. Because we may attempt to acquire a significant portion of
the funds we need in order to conduct our planned operations through the sale of
equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be
detrimental to our liquidity and our operations because the decline may cause
investors to not choose to invest in our stock. If we are unable to
raise the funds we require for all our planned operations, we may be forced to
reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative
effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new
products and continue our current operations. As a result, our
business may suffer, and not be successful and we may go out of
business. We also might not be able to meet our financial obligations
if we cannot raise enough funds through the sale of our common stock and we may
be forced to go out of business.
Our
stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission’s penny stock regulations which may limit a
stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock
is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted
Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that
has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price
of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our
securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales
practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than
established customers and “accredited investors”. The term
“accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of
$5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual
income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The
penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny
stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk
disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information
about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock
market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current
bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the
broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account
statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s
account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and
salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in
writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in
writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the
penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not
otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer 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. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of
reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock
that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny
stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our
securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor
interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and
sell our stock.
In
addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted
rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a
broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is
suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low
priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make
reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status,
tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under
interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high
probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at
least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult
for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which
may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our
security holders may face significant restrictions on the resale of our
securities due to state “blue sky” laws.
Each
state has its own securities laws, often called “blue sky” laws, which (i) limit
sales of securities to a state’s residents unless the securities are registered
in that state or qualify for an exemption from registration, and (ii) govern the
reporting requirements for broker-dealers doing business directly or indirectly
in the state. Before a security is sold in a state, there must be a
registration in place to cover the transaction, or the transaction must be
exempt from registration. The applicable broker must be registered in that
state.
We do not
know whether our securities will be registered or exempt from registration under
the laws of any state. A determination regarding registration will be made by
those broker-dealers, if any, who agree to serve as the market-makers for our
common stock. There may be significant state blue sky law
restrictions on the ability of investors to sell, and on purchasers to buy, our
securities. You should therefore consider the resale market for our
common stock to be limited, as you may be unable to resell your shares without
the significant expense of state registration or qualification.

Risks
Related to our Financial Results and Need for Additional Financing
Our
auditors’ reports contain a statement that our net loss and limited working
capital raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
Our
independent registered public accountants have stated in their report, included
in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on November 30, 2009, that our significant operating losses and
working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. We had net losses of $66,879 and $283,375, respectively, for
the fiscal years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008. We will be required to raise
substantial capital to fund our capital expenditures, working capital and other
cash requirements since our current cash assets are exhausted. We are currently
searching for sources of additional funding, including potential joint venture
partners, while we continue the initial exploration phase on our mining claims.
The successful outcome of future financing activities cannot be determined at
this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, we will have sufficient
funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operational
results.
We
will need additional capital to achieve our current business strategy and our
inability to obtain additional financing will inhibit our ability to expand or
even maintain our exploration and development efforts.
In
addition to our current accumulated deficit, we expect to incur additional
losses in the foreseeable future. Until we are able to determine if there are
mineral deposits available for extraction on our properties, we are unlikely to
be profitable. Consequently, we will require substantial additional capital to
continue our exploration and development activities. There is no assurance that
we will not incur additional and unplanned expenses during our continuing
exploration and development activities. When additional funding is required, we
intend to raise funds either through private placements or public offerings of
our equity securities. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain
additional financing through private placements and/or public offerings
necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds
generated from any private placements and/or public offerings are insufficient,
we will have to raise additional working capital through other sources, such as
bank loans and/or financings. No assurance can be given that additional
financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable
terms.
If we are
unable to secure adequate sources of funds, we may be forced to delay or
postpone the exploration, development and research of our properties, and as a
result, we might be required to diminish or suspend our business plans. These
delays in development would have an adverse effect on our ability to generate
revenues and could require us to possibly cease operations. In addition, such
inability to obtain financing on reasonable terms could have a negative effect
on our business, operating results or financial condition to such extent that we
are forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy protection, sell assets or cease
operations, any of which could put your investment dollars at significant
risk.
8
We are incurring
increased costs as a result of being a publicly-traded company.
As a
public company, we incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that
we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, have required changes in corporate governance practices of
public companies. These new rules and regulations have increased our legal and
financial compliance costs and have made some activities more time-consuming and
costly. For example, as a result of becoming a public company, we have created
additional board committees and have adopted policies regarding internal
controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, we have incurred
additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements.
These new rules and regulations have made it more difficult and more expensive
for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, which we currently
cannot afford to do. As a result of the new rules, it may become more difficult
for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of
directors or as executive officers. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of
additional costs we may incur as a result of being a public company or the
timing of such costs and/or whether we will be able to raise the funds necessary
to meet the cash requirements for these costs.
Because
we may never earn revenues from our operations, our business may fail and then
investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
We have
no history of revenues from operations. We have never had significant
operations and have no significant assets. We have yet to generate
positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate
profitably. We have a limited operating history and is in the
exploration stage. The success of our company is significantly
dependent on the uncertain events of the discovery and exploitation of mineral
reserves on our properties or selling the rights to exploit those mineral
reserves. If our business plan is not successful and we are not able
to operate profitably, then our stock may become worthless and investors may
lose all of their investment in our company.
Prior to
completion of the exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased
operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore
expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We
recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the
exploration of our mineral claims in the future, we will not be able to earn
profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to
base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we
can provide no assurance that we will generate any revenues or ever achieve
profitability. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our
business will fail and investors may lose all of their investment in our
company.
Please
read this prospectus carefully. You should rely only on the information
contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with
different information. You should not assume that the information provided by
the prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of
this prospectus.
The
21,435,294 shares
of common stock offered hereby by the Selling Shareholders are being registered
for the account of the Selling Shareholders identified in this Prospectus. All
net proceeds from the sale of this common stock will go to the respective
Selling Shareholders who offer and sell their shares of common stock. We will
not receive any part of the proceeds from such sales of common
stock.
9
The net
proceeds to us from the sale of up to 18,000,000 shares offered at a public
offering price of $0.85 per share will vary depending upon the total number of
shares sold. Regardless of the number of shares sold, we expect to incur
offering expenses estimated at approximately $60,000, $55,000 for legal and
accounting (incurred), and $5,000 for other costs in connection with this
offering (estimated transfer agent fees, filing fee, etc.). The table below
shows the intended net proceeds from this offering we expect to receive for
scenarios where we sell various amounts of the shares. Since we are making this
offering without any minimum requirement, there is no guarantee that we will be
successful at selling any of the securities being offered in this prospectus.
Accordingly, the actual amount of proceeds we will raise in this offering, if
any, may differ.

Our
offering expenses are comprised of legal and accounting expenses and transfer
agent fees. Our officers and Directors will not receive any compensation for
their efforts in selling our shares.
We intend
to use the proceeds of this offering in the manner and in order of priority set
forth above. We do not intend to use the proceeds to acquire assets or finance
the acquisition of other businesses. At present, no material changes are
contemplated. Should there be any material changes in the projected use of
proceeds in connection with this offering, we will issue an amended prospectus
reflecting the new uses.
In all
instances, after the effectiveness of this registration statement, we will need
some amount of working capital to maintain its general existence and comply with
its public reporting obligations. In addition to changing allocations because of
the amount of proceeds received, we may change the use of proceeds because of
required changes in our business plan. Investors should understand that we have
wide discretion over the use of proceeds. Therefore, management decisions may
not be in line with the initial objectives of investors who will have little
ability to influence these decisions.
There is
no commitment by any person to purchase any or all of the shares of common stock
offered by this prospectus and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the
offering will be totally subscribed for the sale of the maximum 18,000,000
shares of common stock being offered.
10
The
Selling Shareholders will sell their shares at prevailing market prices or
privately negotiated prices. The number of securities that may be actually sold
by a Selling Shareholder will be determined by each Selling Shareholder. The
Selling Shareholders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of the
securities offered, nor are the Selling Shareholders obligated to sell such
shares immediately under this Prospectus. A security holder may sell securities
at any price depending on privately negotiated factors such as a shareholder’s
own cash requirements, or objective criteria of value such as the market value
of our assets.
We have
arbitrarily established the offering price of the common stock and it should not
be considered to bear any relationship to our assets, book value or net worth
and should not be considered to be an indication of our value.
Among the
factors considered by our management were:
●
|
the
market price for our common stock on the OTC Bulletin
Board;
|
●
|
the
potential of our mineral
properties;
|
●
|
the
proceeds to be raised by the offering;
and
|
●
|
our
cash requirements relative to our business
operations.
|
All of
the 21,435,294 shares of our common stock to be sold by the Selling Shareholders
are currently issued and outstanding, and will therefore not cause dilution to
any of our existing stockholders.
Dilution
represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book
value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book
value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and
intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our
arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered.
Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower
book value of the shares held by our existing stockholder.
As at
November 30, 2009, our last financial statement date, our total net tangible
book value was $259,355, or $0.004 per share based on 60,236,722 shares issued
and outstanding. The proceeds from the sale of the new shares being
offered (up to a maximum of 18,000,000) will vary depending on the total number
of shares actually sold in the offering. If all 18,000,000 shares offered
hereunder are sold, there would be a total of 78,236,722 common shares issued
and outstanding. Dividing our net tangible book value by the number
of shares outstanding after the sale of the maximum offering results in a per
share net tangible book value of approximately 15,499,355 or $0.20 per
share.
Therefore,
the shareholders who purchase shares in this offering will suffer an immediate
dilution in the book value of their shares of approximately $0.65 per share, and
our present shareholders will receive an immediate book value increase of
approximately $0.65 per share.
The
following table demonstrates two scenarios to illustrate the per share dilution
effect of the offering of the new shares. The first scenario assumes the
completion of this offering by the sale of 50% of the maximum of 18,000,000
shares (9,000,000 shares) of common stock for proceeds of $7,650,000, and the
second scenario assumes the completion of the maximum offering of 18,000,000
shares of common stock for proceeds of $15,300,000.

will have made an investment of approximately $260,000, or an average of $0.004
per share. Upon completion of a maximum offering, the purchasers of the shares
offered hereby will own 23% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for
which they will have made a cash investment of $15,300,000, or $0.85 per
share.
SELLING
SHAREHOLDERS
The 4
Selling Shareholders are offering for sale of 21,435,294 shares of our issued
and outstanding common stock which they obtained as part of the following
issuances:
●
|
On
February 4, 2010, Kevin Murphy acquired 12,000,000 shares of our common
stock from one of our majority shareholders. These shares were
purchased in a private transaction for total consideration of
$10,200,000.
|
●
|
In
August 2009, we issued 10,000 shares of our common stock each to Kevin
Murphy and Howard Bouch as consideration for consulting services provided
to us.
|
●
|
Wayne
Weaver acquired 20,000,000 of our common shares in private transactions
from our former director and officer. These shares were
initially issued to our former director and officer, Garrett Ainsworth in
April of 2005 for total consideration of $2,000. Mr. Weaver has
also acquired and disposed of other shares of our common stock through
private and open market transactions to bring his total ownership to
9,135,294.
|
●
|
On
July 27, 2009 the Company entered into a consulting contract with Wannigan
Consulting Corp to:
|
■
|
maintain
the books and records of the Company in accordance with the instructions
of the Company’s Auditors and in accordance of U.S. GAAP if so requested
by the Company;
|
■
|
prepare
all necessary regulatory and statutory filings required of the
Company;
|
■
|
act
as liaison between the Company and its
Auditor.
|
■
|
act
as liaison between the Company and its Transfer
Agent.
|
The
Company issued 280,000 restricted Common Shares of our common stock to Wannigan
Consulting Corp as compensation.
All of
these securities were initially issued in reliance upon an exemption from
registration pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
“Securities Act”). Our reliance upon Rule 903 of Regulation S was
based on the fact that the sales of the securities were completed in an
“offshore transaction”, as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S. We
did not engage in any directed selling efforts, as defined in Regulation S, in
the United States in connection with the sale of the securities. Each investor
was not a U.S. person, as defined in Regulation S, and was not acquiring the
securities for the account or benefit of a U.S. person.

Offering
of 18,000,000 Shares of our Common Stock
This is a
self-underwritten offering. We are offering to
the public 18,000,000 shares of common stock
on a “$15,300,000 maximum” basis at
a purchase price of $.85 per share. This Prospectus is
part of a prospectus that permits Mr. Kevin M. Murphy, our president and chief
executive officer, to sell the shares directly to the public, with no commission
or other remuneration payable to him. There are no plans or arrangements to
enter into any contracts or agreements to sell the shares with a broker or
dealer. Mr. Murphy will sell the shares and intends to offer them to
friends, family members, acquaintances, and business associates. In offering the
securities on our behalf, he will rely on the safe harbor from broker dealer
registration set out in Rule 3a4-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
Mr.
Murphy will not register as broker-dealers pursuant to Section 15 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1, which sets forth
those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate
in the offering of the issuer’s securities and not be deemed to be a
broker-dealer.

and (B) is not a broker or dealer, or been an associated person of a
broker or dealer, within the preceding twelve months; and (C) has not
participated in selling and offering securities for any issuer more than

Resale
of 21,435,294 Shares by Selling Shareholders
We are
registering certain securities on behalf of the Selling Shareholders. The
21,435,294 issued common shares can be sold by the Selling Shareholders at
prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Kevin M.
Murphy and Howard Bouch, our primary affiliates, will be selling their shares as
part of this offering. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated
prices.
The
Selling Shareholders may sell some or all of their securities in one or more
transactions, including block transactions:
●
|
on
such public markets as the securities may be
trading;
|
●
|
in
privately negotiated transactions;
|
●
|
in
any combination of these methods of
distribution.
|
The
sales price to the public may be:
|
●
|
the
market price prevailing at the time of
sale;
|
●
|
a
price related to such prevailing market price;
or
|
●
|
such
other price as the Selling Shareholders
determine.
|
We are
bearing all costs relating to the registration of certain securities. The
Selling Shareholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to
brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of certain
securities.
The
Selling Shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act in the offer and sale of certain securities. In particular,
during such times as the Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a
distribution of certain securities, and therefore be considered to be an
underwriter, they must comply with applicable laws and may, among other
things:
●
|
not
engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our
securities;
|
●
|
furnish
each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such
copies of this Prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be
required by such broker or dealer;
and
|
●
|
not
bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person
to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the
Exchange Act.
|
15
Our
common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, under the trading symbol
“BHWX.OB”. The market for our stock is highly volatile. We cannot assure you
that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.
Trading
in stocks quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by
wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to
do with a company’s operations or business prospects. The OTC Bulletin Board
should not be confused with the NASDAQ market. OTC Bulletin Board companies are
subject to far fewer restrictions and regulations than are companies traded on
the NASDAQ market. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and
trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the
trading of securities listed on a quotation system like the NASDAQ Small Cap or
a stock exchange. In the absence of an active trading market: (a) investors may
have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations; (b) market
visibility for our common stock may be limited; and (c) a lack of visibility for
our common stock may have a depressive effect on the market price for our common
stock.
None of
the Selling Shareholders will engage in any electronic offer, sale or
distribution of the shares. Further, neither we nor any of the Selling
Shareholders have any arrangements with a third party to host or access our
Prospectus on the Internet.
In the
event of the transfer by any selling stockholder of his or her shares to any
pledgee, donee or other transferee, we will amend this prospectus and the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by the filing of a
post-effective amendment in order to have the pledgee, donee or other transferee
in place of the selling stockholder who has transferred his or her
shares.
In
effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may
arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may
receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders or, if any of the
broker-dealers act as an agent for the purchaser of such shares, from the
purchaser in amounts to be negotiated which are not expected to exceed those
customary in the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with
the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of the shares of common
stock at a stipulated price per share. Such an agreement may also require the
broker-dealer to purchase as principal any unsold shares of common stock at the
price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the Selling
Shareholders if such broker-dealer is unable to sell the shares on behalf of the
Selling Shareholders. Broker-dealers who acquire shares of common stock as
principal may thereafter resell the shares of common stock from time to time in
transactions which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other
broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above. Such sales
by a broker-dealer could be at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time
of sale, at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated
transactions. In connection with such re-sales, the broker-dealer may pay to or
receive from the purchasers of the shares, commissions as described
above.
The
Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the
Selling Shareholders in the sale of the shares of common stock may be deemed to
be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with
these sales. In that event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or
agents and any profit on the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by
them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the
Securities Act.
16
From time
to time, the Selling Shareholders may pledge their shares of common stock
pursuant to the margin provisions of their customer agreements with their
brokers. Upon a default by a selling stockholder, the broker may offer and sell
the pledged shares of common stock from time to time. Upon a sale of the shares
of common stock, the Selling Shareholders intend to comply with the prospectus
delivery requirements, under the Securities Act, by delivering a prospectus to
each purchaser in the transaction. We intend to file any amendments or other
necessary documents in compliance with the Securities Act which may be required
in the event any selling stockholder defaults under any customer agreement with
brokers.
To the
extent required under the Securities Act, a post effective amendment to this
registration statement will be filed, disclosing, the name of any
broker-dealers, the number of shares of common stock involved, the price at
which the common stock is to be sold, the commissions paid or discounts or
concessions allowed to such broker-dealers, where applicable, that such
broker-dealers did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set
out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and other facts material to
the transaction.
We and
the Selling Shareholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under it, including, without
limitation, Rule 10b-5 and, insofar as the Selling Shareholders are distribution
participants and we, under certain circumstances, may be a distribution
participant, under Regulation M. All of the foregoing may affect the
marketability of the common stock.
All
expenses of the registration statement including, but not limited to, legal,
accounting, printing and mailing fees are and will be borne by us. Any
commissions, discounts or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection
with any sale of the shares of common stock will be borne by the Selling
Shareholders, the purchasers participating in such transaction, or
both.
Mr. Kevin
M. Murphy is the underwriter in this offering, as that term is defined in
section 2(a)(11) of Rule 144 the Securities
Act of 1933. Any shares of common stock covered by this prospectus which
qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as amended, may
be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.
Regulation
M
During
such time as the Selling Shareholders may be engaged in a distribution of any of
the securities being registered by this Prospectus, the Selling Shareholders are
required to comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. In
general, Regulation M precludes any selling security holder, any affiliated
purchaser and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in a
distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person
to bid for or purchase, any security that is the subject of the distribution
until the entire distribution is complete.
Regulation
M defines a “distribution” as
an offering of securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading activities
by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and
selling methods. Regulation M also defines a “distribution
participant” as
an underwriter, prospective underwriter, broker, dealer, or other person who has
agreed to participate or who is participating in a distribution.
17
Regulation M prohibits,
with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from bidding for or
purchasing, for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest,
any of the securities that are the subject of the
distribution. Regulation M also governs bids and purchases made in
order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution of
the security. We have informed
the Selling Shareholders that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M
may apply to the sales of their shares offered by this Prospectus, and we have
also advised the Selling Shareholders of the requirements for delivery of this
Prospectus in connection with any sales of the shares offered by this
Prospectus.
With
regard to short sales, the Selling Shareholders cannot cover their short sales
with securities from this offering. In addition, if a short sale is
deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the Selling Shareholders will not be
permitted to engage in such an activity. All of these limitations may
affect the marketability of our common stock.
Penny
Stock Rules
The SEC
has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with
transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities
with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain
national securities exchanges, provided that current price and volume
information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the
exchange or system).
The penny
stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not
otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure
document prepared by the SEC which:
●
|
contains
a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny
stocks in both public offerings and secondary
trading;
|
●
|
contains
a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of
the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to
violations of such duties or other requirements of federal securities
laws;
|
●
|
contains
a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid”
and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread
between the bid and ask prices;
|
●
|
contains
the toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary
actions;
|
●
|
defines
significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading
in penny stocks; and
|
●
|
contains
such other information, and is in such form (including language, type
size, and format) as the SEC shall require by rule or
regulation.
|
Prior to
effecting any transaction in a penny stock, a broker-dealer must also provide a
customer with:
●
|
the
bid and ask prices for the penny
stock;
|
●
|
the
number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other
comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market
for such stock;
|
18
●
|
the
amount and a description of any compensation that the broker-dealer and
its associated salesperson will receive in connection with the
transaction; and
|
●
|
a
monthly account statement indicating the market value of each penny stock
held in the customer’s account.
|
In
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to effecting any transaction
in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must
make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable
investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written
acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, (ii) a written
agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and (iii) a signed and dated
copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure
requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the
secondary market for our securities, and therefore our stockholders may have
difficulty selling their shares.
Blue
Sky Restrictions on Resale
When a
selling security holder wants to sell shares of our common stock under this
Prospectus in the United States, the selling security holder will need to comply
with state securities laws, also known as “blue sky laws,” with regard to
secondary sales. All states offer a variety of exemptions from
registration of secondary sales. Many states, for example, have an
exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under section 12(g) of
the Exchange Act or for securities of issuers that publish continuous disclosure
of financial and non-financial information in a recognized securities manual,
such as Standard & Poor’s. The broker for a selling security
holder will be able to advise the stockholder as to which states have an
exemption for secondary sales of our common stock.
Any
person who purchases shares of our common stock from a selling security holder
pursuant to this Prospectus, and who subsequently wants to resell such shares
will also have to comply with blue sky laws regarding secondary
sales.
When this
Prospectus becomes effective, and a selling security holder indicates in which
state(s) he desires to sell his shares, we will be able to identify whether he
will need to register or may rely on an exemption from
registration.
As of
March 10, 2010, there are 60,236,722 shares of the Company’s common stock issued
and outstanding, held by 15 holders of record.
Common
Stock
On March
15, 2007, our board of directors approved a ten (10) for one (1) forward stock
split of authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock. We amended
our Articles of Incorporation by the filing of a Certificate of Change with the
Nevada Secretary of State wherein it stated that we would issue ten shares for
every one share of common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
effective date of the forward stock split. The change in the Articles of
Incorporation was effected with the Nevada Secretary of State on April 6, 2007.
As a result, the authorized capital increased from 30,000,000 to 300,000,000
shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. The stock split is presented
retroactively in these financial statements.
19
Our
authorized capital stock currently consists of 300,000,000 shares of common
stock, par value $0.001 per share. Our shareholders (i) have equal ratable
rights to dividends from funds legally available therefore, when, as and if
declared by the board of directors; (ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of
the assets for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of our business affairs; (iii) do not have
pre-emptive, subscription or conversion rights, and there are no redemption or
sinking fund provisions or rights applicable thereto; and (iv) are entitled to
one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.
All shares of common stock now outstanding are fully paid and
non-assessable.
There are
no provisions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that would delay, defer
or prevent a change in control of our company or a change in type of
business.
Voting
Rights
Each
holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters on
which such stockholders are entitled to vote. Since the shares of our
common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, the holders of more than 50%
of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors
if they choose to do so and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares
will not be able to elect any person to our Board of Directors.
Dividend
Policy
Holders
of our common stock are entitled to dividends if declared by the Board of
Directors out of funds legally available for payment of
dividends. From our inception to the date of this Prospectus we did
not declare any dividends.
We do not
intend to issue any cash dividends in the future. We intend to retain
earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our
business. However, it is possible that our management may decide to
declare a stock dividend in the future. Our future dividend policy
will be subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be
contingent upon future earnings, if any, our financial condition, our capital
requirements, general business conditions and other factors.
No expert
or counsel named in this Prospectus as having prepared or certified any part
thereof or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being
registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or
offering of our common stock was employed on a contingency basis or had or is to
receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, directly or
indirectly, in us. Additionally, no such expert or counsel was
connected with us as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting
trustee, director, officer or employee.
Macdonald
Tuskey Corporate and Securities Lawyers, Suite 1210, 777 Hornby Street,
Vancouver, BC, V6Z 1S4, Canada, has passed upon certain legal matters in
connection with the validity of the issuance of the shares of common
stock.
LBB &
Associates Ltd., LLP, Houston, Texas, has audited our Financial Statements for
the year ended August 31, 2009 and to the extent set forth in its report, which
are included herein in reliance upon the authority of said firm as experts in
accounting and auditing. There were no disagreements related to
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, internal
controls or auditing scope or procedure during the two fiscal years and interim
period.
20
General
We were
incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 14, 2005. We are engaged
in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. We maintain
our statutory registered agent’s office at 9360 W. Flamingo #110-158
Las Vegas, NV 89147 and our business office is located at 1174 Manito Dr. PO Box
363, Fox Island, WA 98333. Our fiscal year end is August 31st.
Our
Current Business – Mineral Exploration
We are an
exploration stage resource company, and are primarily engaged in the business of
exploration for gold, silver and lithium.
In August
of 2009 we formed a wholly owned Nevada subsidiary, Blue Lithium Energy Inc.,
with the intent to acquire, explore and develop a portfolio of strategic lithium
properties in the United States and Canada. On September 30, 2009 we
announced the acquisition of exploration properties in Clayton Valley, Nevada by
Blue Lithium. Our 1,120 acre, 56 placer mineral claims, site is located in the
same area as the largest lithium brine production facility in the U.S. The
Chemetall-Foote Mine facility has produced in excess of 50 million Kg of lithium
to date and is scaled to produce 1.2 million Kg a year. The American Institute
of Mining estimates the mineral resource of the Clayton Valley to be 750 million
Kg of lithium. The lithium brine deposits are located at depths of a few hundred
meters and can be extracted in an environmentally friendly manner.
On
December 8, 2009 we incorporated Golden Black Hawk, Inc. as a wholly owned
subsidiary under Nevada law. This subsidiary then entered into an agreement
(“the Option Agreement”) on December 10, 2009 (“the Effective Date”) with
HuntMountain Resources Inc (“HuntMountain”) to purchase 75% of HuntMountain’s
option on a precious metal property in Nevada called Dun Glen. The
Option Agreement entitles us to acquire undivided legal and beneficial interests
of up to 75% in the Dun Glen property free and clear of all liens, charges and
claims of others.
More
details on our mineral exploration properties and our anticipated plan for
exploration can be found in the section titled “Description of Property” further
in this Prospectus.
Market
and Industry
Although
there can be no assurance, large and well capitalized markets are readily
available for all metals and precious metals throughout the world. A very
sophisticated futures market for the pricing and delivery of future production
also exists. At present there are no limitations with respect to the sale of
metals or precious metals other than price. The price for metals is affected by
a number of global factors, including economic strength and resultant demand for
metals for production, fluctuating supplies, mining activities and production by
others in the industry, and new and or reduced uses for subject
metals.
The
mining industry is highly speculative and of a very high risk nature. As such,
mining activities involve a high degree of risk, which even a combination of
experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Few
mining projects actually become operating mines.
21
The
mining industry is subject to a number of factors, including intense industry
competition, high susceptibility to economic conditions (such as price of metal,
foreign currency exchange rates, and capital and operating costs), and political
conditions (which could affect such things as import and export regulations,
foreign ownership restrictions). Furthermore, the mining activities are subject
to all hazards incidental to mineral exploration, development and production, as
well as risk of damage from earthquakes, any of which could result in work
stoppages, damage to or loss of property and equipment and possible
environmental damage. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological
formations and other conditions are also involved in mineral exploration and
development.
Competition
The
mineral exploration industry is highly competitive. We are a new exploration
stage company and have a weak competitive position in the industry. We compete
with junior and senior mineral exploration companies, independent producers and
institutional and individual investors who are actively seeking to acquire
mineral exploration properties throughout the world together with the equipment,
labor and materials required to operate on those properties. Competition for the
acquisition of mineral exploration interests is intense with many mineral
exploration leases or concessions available in a competitive bidding process in
which we may lack the technological information or expertise available to other
bidders.
Many of
the mineral exploration companies with which we compete for financing and for
the acquisition of mineral exploration properties have greater financial and
technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors
may be able to spend greater amounts on acquiring mineral exploration interests
of merit or on exploring or developing their mineral exploration properties.
This advantage could enable our competitors to acquire mineral exploration
properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may
choose to finance their additional exploration and development. Such competition
could adversely impact our ability to attain the financing necessary for us to
acquire further mineral exploration interests or explore and develop our current
or future mineral exploration properties.
We also
compete with other junior mineral exploration companies for financing from a
limited number of investors that are prepared to invest in such companies. The
presence of competing junior mineral exploration companies may impact our
ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our acquisition or
exploration programs if investors perceive that investments in our competitors
are more attractive based on the merit of their mineral exploration properties
or the price of the investment opportunity. In addition, we compete with both
junior and senior mineral exploration companies for available resources,
including, but not limited to, professional geologists, land specialists,
engineers, camp staff, helicopters, float planes, mineral exploration supplies
and drill rigs.
General
competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of energy
legislation and/or regulation introduced from time to time by the governments of
the United States and other countries, as well as factors beyond our control,
including international political conditions, overall levels of supply and
demand for mineral exploration.
22
In the
face of competition, we may not be successful in acquiring, exploring or
developing profitable oil and gas properties or interests, and we cannot give
any assurance that suitable oil and gas properties or interests will be
available for our acquisition, exploration or development. Despite this, we hope
to compete successfully in the oil and gas industry by:
●
|
keeping
our costs low;
|
●
|
relying
on the strength of our management’s contacts;
and
|
●
|
using
our size and experience to our advantage by adapting quickly to changing
market conditions or responding swiftly to potential
opportunities.
|
Research
and Development
We have
not spent any money on research and development activities since our inception.
We do not anticipate that we will not incur any research and development
expenses over the next 12 months, but this may change if we are successful in
acquiring new properties or interests. Our planned expenditures on our
operations and the exploration program are summarized under the section of this
Prospectus entitled “Description of Property”.
Intellectual
Property
Other
than the rights we own in our website: www.black-hawk-exploration.com.
we have not filed for any protection of our trademark, and we do not have any
other intellectual property.
Government
Regulations
Any
operations at the our mineral properties will be subject to various federal and
state laws and regulations in the United States which govern prospecting,
development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational
health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous
substances and other matters. We will be required to obtain those licenses,
permits or other authorizations currently required to conduct exploration and
other programs. There are no current orders or directions relating to us or our
properties with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations. Such compliance
may include feasibility studies on the surface impact of our proposed
operations, costs associated with minimizing surface impact, water treatment and
protection, reclamation activities, including rehabilitation of various sites,
on-going efforts at alleviating the mining impact on wildlife and permits or
bonds as may be required to ensure our compliance with applicable regulations.
It is possible that the costs and delays associated with such compliance could
become so prohibitive that we may decide to not proceed with exploration,
development, or mining operations on any of our mineral properties. We are not
presently aware of any specific material environmental constraints affecting our
properties that would preclude the economic development or operation of property
in the United States.
The U.S.
Forest Service requires that mining operations on lands subject to its
regulation obtain an approved plan of operations subject to environmental impact
evaluation under the National
Environmental Policy Act. Any significant modifications to the plan of
operations may require the completion of an environmental assessment or
Environmental Impact Statement prior to approval. Mining companies must post a
bond or other surety to guarantee the cost of post-mining reclamation. These
requirements could add significant additional cost and delays to any mining
project undertaken by us.
23
Under the
U.S. Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act, mining companies may incur costs for
generating, transporting, treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous waste, as
well as for closure and post-closure maintenance once they have completed mining
activities on a property. Any future mining operations at our mineral properties
may produce air emissions, including fugitive dust and other air pollutants,
from stationary equipment, storage facilities, and the use of mobile sources
such as trucks and heavy construction equipment which are subject to review,
monitoring and/or control requirements under the Federal Clean Air Act and state
air quality laws. Permitting rules may impose limitations on our production
levels or create additional capital expenditures for pollution control in order
to comply with the rules.
The U.S.
Comprehensive
Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended
(“CERCLA”), imposes strict joint and several liability on parties associated
with releases or threats of releases of hazardous substances. Those liable
groups include, among others, the current owners and operators of facilities
which release hazardous substances into the environment and past owners and
operators of properties who owned such properties at the time the disposal of
the hazardous substances occurred. This liability could include the cost of
removal or remediation of the release and damages for injury to the surrounding
property. We cannot predict the potential for future CERCLA liability with
respect to our mineral properties or surrounding areas.
Employees
and Consultants
At
present, we have no employees, other than our executive officers who do not have
an employment agreement with us. We presently do not have pension, health,
annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans;
however, we may adopt such plans in the future. There are presently no personal
benefits available to employees.
We intend
to continue to use the services of subcontractors for manual labor exploration
work and an engineer or geologist to manage the exploration program. Our only
employees will be our senior officers and directors. In regards to our planned
exploration program on the Dun Glen Property, we have retained Buster Hunsaker
as senior geological consultant. His compensation is on an hourly
basis.
On
January 1, 2010 we entered into a consulting agreement with Wannigan Consulting
Corp. (“Wannigan”) to act as a consultant in the areas of corporate growth and
acquisitions, accounting, business affairs, business operations, and financial
and public company compliance for a period of seven months
commencing January 1, 2010 and continuing through July 31,
2010. Wannigan is compensated by payment of $10,000 upon signing of
the Consulting Agreement and $6,000 per month. This agreement is a
non arms-length transaction as Howard Bouch is a common director of Wannigan and
our company.

549-4329.
On
September 30, 2009, we, through our wholly owned subsidiary Blue Lithium Energy
Inc., acquired title to 56 placer mineral claims over a 1,120 acre
site. The mineral claims give us the right to all of the minerals which can be
claimed by placer claims underlying the land on which the claims have been
staked. These claims are known as the Clayton Valley Claims and are described in
full detail below.
On
December 8, 2009 the Company formed a second wholly owned subsidiary in Nevada
named Golden Black Hawk, Inc. This subsidiary then entered into an Option
Agreement with HuntMountain, a public company that has the right to acquire 100%
interest in a total of 73 mining claims in Pershing County in the State of
Nevada. The Option Agreement entitles us to acquire undivided legal and
beneficial interests of up to 75% in these claims free and clear of all liens,
charges and claims of others. These claims are known as the Dun Glen
Project and are described in full detail below.
Dun
Glen Project
Location
and Access
The Dun
Glen Project is located approximately 40 miles south west of Winnemucca, Nevada
in Pershing County. Access is available from Highway 80, exit 151
over a county maintained gravel road. The entire area covers roughly
1870 acres comprised of 94 federal unpatented lode mining claims, of which 73
are covered by our agreement with HuntMountain.
25
26
Ownership
Interest
Under the
Option Agreement with HuntMountain we have an option entitling us to acquire
certain legal and beneficial interests in and to Dun Glen Project, and to
participate in the further exploration and, if deemed warranted, the development
of the Dun Glen Project. Specifically, we have acquired a right and
option to acquire undivided legal and beneficial interests of up to 75% in the
Dun Glen Project free and clear of all liens, charges and claims of
others.
In order
for us to exercise the option and acquire the 75% interest we are required to
make the following payments to HuntMountain, and incur the expenses indicated,
prior to the fourth anniversary of the date of the Option Agreement (the “Option
Deadline”):
(1)
|
an initial payment of $50,000, which has been paid by us and issue 250,000 restricted shares of common stock; | |
(2)
|
pay a further $25,000 on the first anniversary of the Effective Date and issue 100,000 restricted shares of common stock; | |
(3)
|
pay a further $25,000 on the second anniversary of the Effective Date; and | |
(4)
|
incur or fund expenditures on the Property prior to the Option Deadline of not less than $700,000 on or before the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date. |
History
of Previous Operations
The Dun
Glen Property is an exploration stage property that has had a relatively small
amount of contemporary geologic work done on it. Historically,
exploration and mineral production in the area began in the
1860’s. During the 1930’s the Standard Gold Reduction and Milling
Company worked on the Auld Lang Syne Mine on the Dun Glen
Property. Eventually all production from the mines in the area ceased
and minimal work was undertaking until 2002.
Five
drill holes were completed by Newmont Exploration in 2002 and consisted of a
total of 2113 feet. This drilling was inconclusive due largely to
unforeseen drilling problems that required termination of some of the drill
holes prior to reaching target depths.
Four
drill holes were completed by HuntMountain Resources in 2006 and consisted of a
total of 3,645 feet. Three of the four holes reached their target
depth and the core averaged 3.18 grams per tonne of gold and 8.0 grams per tonne
of silver.
Present
Condition of Property and Current State of Exploration
We have
not yet commenced exploration of the Dun Glen Property. We intend to use a
phased exploration approach by which the results of each phase will determine
the nature and level of activities for the next.
Our
initial plan of exploration is to complete comprehensive compilation of all
acquired geophysical, geochemical, and geological data. From this a
phased program can be developed to evaluate the economic potential of the
property.
27
In
particular, over the next 12 months beginning March 2010, we intend to carry out
the following actions with respect to the Dun Glen Property in two
phases. Phase 1 is an evaluation phase totaling
$60,700. Phase 2 is comprised of dump processing ($600,000) and
exploration drilling ($404,352). The Phase 2 plans are based on the
results of Phase 1 work which is as follows:

Mineralization
The Dun
Glen Project is situated in a region of alternating, northerly-trending, faulted
mountains and flat, sediment-filled valley floors. It was created
roughly 20 million years ago as a result of block faulting during extensional
tectonics. Rocks exposed in the region range in age from Cambrian to
Holocene and comprise thick sequences of sedimentary, volcanic, intrusive and
metamorphic rocks in a complex structural environment.
There are
three separate areas at the Dun Glen Project which have previously undergone
mining activity. These are, from North to South, the Auld Lang Syne
Mine area, the Black Hole Mine area and the Monroe Mine
area. Gold/silver-bearing veins were the prime target historically,
although there is some low-grade sediment-hosted mineralization on the property
that has not yet been well-documented, along with solidified breccias that
tentatively appear to be localized. The main zone of mineralization,
which connects the Monroe Mine, Old Mill Adit and the Black Hole Mine, consists
of a north-easterly trending corridor that appears to the about 300 feet wide on
the south end near the Monroe Mine and as much as 1000 feet wide on the north
end near the Auld Lang Syne Mine.
Mineralization
at the Auld Lang Syne consists of several separate quartz veins that trend in a
northerly direction, dipping 45-80 degrees to the east, hosted by silicified
rhyolites. Although the true width of this vein system is uncertain
due to copious overburden, the apparent width is approximately 100
feet. The vein system here contains four parallel veins, the average
width of which is reported to be 0.8 meters. No systematic chip
sampling across this zone has yet been undertaken.
28
Mineralization
at the Black Hole Mine consists primarily of gold/silver-bearing quartz veins
that appear to follow the contact between two mineral
formations. This contact is probably faulted according to a geology
report. Both Type A (bright white, massive to stockwork, coarse
crystalline, opaque quartz with traces of sulfides, most commonly pyrite) and
Type B (light grey, fine-crystalline, translucent, vuggy quartz that contains up
to 0.5% sphalerite and galena with lesser amounts of pyrite, chalcopyrite,
arsenopyrite and stibnite) quartz vein mineralization were found on the dump in
previous reviews of the property. No historic data on the Black Hole
Mine workings is readily available, and the mine is presently
inaccessible. Therefore, the true width of the mineralization at the
Black hole Mine is uncertain. At the Black Hole Mine, the quartz vein
reportedly strikes northeast with a 45 degree dip to the southeast.
Mineralization
in the Monroe Mine area also consists of gold/silver-bearing quartz vein
mineralization, although it is hosted entirely in a Metarhyolite rock
formation. The Monroe Mine dump contains much Type A quartz vein
material and scarce samples of Type B quartz vein material. A small
prospect pit which lies about 500 feet off the main Monroe Mine Adit contains
scarce samples of Type B quartz vein material also. This
mineralization could not be seen in place since the adit is partially caved near
the portal and partially flooded. Therefore the true width of the
quartz vein mineralization in the Monroe Mine area is uncertain.
Historically
this area has been explored and mined for gold/silver
production. However, our management believes that there are
significant deposits of gold and silver which have not yet been
explored. We have not yet undertaken any exploration work on the Dun
Glen Project and the existence of any gold or silver cannot be
assured.
Clayton
Valley Claims
Location
and Access
The
Clayton Valley Claims are located in Clayton Valley, Esmeralda Country, Nevada,
214 highway miles North of Las Vegas, Nevada. They are accessible via
Highway 264 that proceeds south from Interstate 95 and then connects to a gravel
road. Access to the claims is via 52 miles of paved U.S. and Nevada
State highways from Tonopah leading to 4 miles of improved gravel roads within
Clayton Valley which crosses the center of the claims. Sources of
power and water are available less than 3 miles from the
claims. Labor and supplies are available at Tonopah, Las Vegas or
Reno which are local and regional mining and supply centers. The
entire area covers approximately 1120 acres comprised of 56 placer mineral
claims located in the same geological formation as Chemetall-Foote mining
operation.
29
30
We hold
mineral exploration rights on the Clayton Valley Claims directly from the
Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), through our wholly
owned subsidiary Blue Lithium Energy, Inc. Our annual expenses
associated with keeping this property in good standing are estimated at
$10,220.
History
of Previous Operations
During
the mid-to late 1970’s the U.S. Geological Survey (“USGS”) evaluated lithium
deposits and resources around the world. During the course of the program
they drilled 22 holes in Nevada and Arizona. Initial drilling was in
Clayton Valley (one of these drill sites was on one of our claims adjacent to
Chemetall-Foote) to evaluate the known
continental-brines.
The
Clayton Valley Claims’ 1,120 acre site is located in the Clayton Valley which is
the home of the largest lithium brine production facility in the U.S. The
Chemetall-Foote facility has produced in excess of 50 million kilograms of
lithium to date and is scaled to produce 1.2 million kilograms a
year.
Present
Condition of Property and Current State of Exploration
Hunsaker,
Inc., our consulting geologists have recommended an initial drill program for
lithium bearing brines. The brines are expected to occur between 600 and 800
feet based on the 1980’s U.S. Geological Survey work completed in the 1970’s by
the U.S. Geological Survey and the nearby producing wells at the Chemetall-Foote
Silver Peak operation also in Clayton Valley.
31
Drilling
costs are estimated to be $30 a foot and the drill program is designed to
identify the depth of the Brines, Lithium concentration, chemical
characteristics and the geologic/aquifer settings.
We have
recently engaged Boart Longyear Limited (“Boart”) to commence drilling on the
Clayton Valley Claims. We had previously received an affirmative
decision from the United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Land
Management (“BLM”), Tonopah, Nevada for exploration on the Clayton Valley
Claims. A financial guarantee bond was required and has been submitted and
accepted by the BLM, Branch of Minerals Adjudication to warranty complete
reclamation of any environmental disturbance to the drill area and keep within
our corporate “Green Policy”. The BLM determination notice will remain in effect
for 2 years from the date of the approval decision. The original Notice of Drill
Exploration was filed by Blue Lithium Energy, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary,
on November 25th, 2009 and the engagement of Boart will allow our management to
put into effect our drill program and confirm the lithium brine levels at the
Clayton Valley Claims.
Mineralization
The
American Institute of Mining estimates the mineral resource of the Clayton
Valley to be 750 million kg of lithium. The Clayton Valley lithium brine deposit
is found at depths of a few hundred meters and is easily extractable in an
environmentally friendly manner. The American Institute of Mining estimates the
Lithium resources of the Clayton Valley to be 750,000,000
kilograms. USGS holes drilled in the new target area had
1.3 and 1.7 parts per million (“ppm”) lithium in the brines that were
intersected plus 287 and 364 ppm lithium in the sediments. Our
management believes that these results are within the range of values that could
be indicative for lithium brines in the target area. Please refer to
the map of the Clayton Valley area on the previous page for a reference on
location of the drill holes.
Aside
from lithium, minerals that can easily be identified in this area (mostly as
crystals a few millimeters in size) include: Plagioclase (a type of feldspar),
Hornblende, Clinopyroxene and Orthopyroxene, Olivine, and
Magnetite.

To the
Board of Directors of
Black
Hawk Exploration Inc.
(An
Exploration Stage Company)
Fox
Island, WA
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Black Hawk Exploration
Inc. (the “Company”) as of August 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for
each of the years then ended and the period from April 14, 2005 (inception)
through August 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for
designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no
such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Black Hawk Exploration Inc.
as of August 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the years then ended and the period from April 14, 2005
(inception) through August 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
As
discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s
absence of significant revenues, recurring losses from operations, and its need
for additional financing in order to fund its projected loss in 2010 raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The 2009
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
Black
Hawk Exploration Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on April 14,
2005, to engage in acquisition and exploration of mineral
properties.
On August
11, 2009 the Company formed Blue Lithium Energy Inc. (“Blue Lithium”), a wholly
owned subsidiary under the laws of the State of Nevada to acquire, explore and
develop lithium properties in the United States and Canada.
On
December 09, 2009 The Company formed Golden Black Hawk, Inc. (“Golden Black
Hawk”), a wholly owned subsidiary under the laws of the State of Nevada to
acquire, explore and develop gold properties in the United States and
Canada.
Going
concern
These
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles, on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and
commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses
since inception of $696,100. Further losses are anticipated in the development
of its business and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
achieve or maintain profitability.
The
continuing operations of the Company and the recoverability of the carrying
value of assets is dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain necessary
financing to fund its working capital requirements, and upon future profitable
operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments
relative to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or
the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.
There can
be no assurance that capital will be available as necessary to meet the
Company’s working capital requirements or, if the capital is available, that it
will be on terms acceptable to the Company. The issuances of additional equity
securities by the Company may result in dilution in the equity interests of its
current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be
available, will increase the Company’s liabilities and future cash commitments.
If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed
acceptable, the business and future success may be adversely
affected.

NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements included all of the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Blue Lithium Energy Inc., a Nevada
Corporation. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term,
highly liquid investments with an original maturity of ninety days or
less.
Exploration
Stage Company
The
Company complies with Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement (“SFAS”) No.
7 for its characterization of the Company as an Exploration Stage
Company.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the period.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Mineral
Property Acquisition Costs
The costs
of acquiring mineral properties are capitalized and amortized over their
estimated useful lives following the commencement of production or expensed if
it is determined that the mineral property has no future economic value or the
properties are sold or abandoned.
Cost
includes cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on the
acquisition of mineral properties. Properties acquired under option agreements,
whereby payments are made at the sole discretion of the Company, are recorded in
the accounts at such time as the payments are made.
The
recoverable amounts for mineral properties is dependent upon the existence of
economically recoverable reserves; the acquisition and maintenance of
appropriate permits, licenses and rights; the ability of the Company to obtain
financing to complete the exploration and development of the properties; and
upon future profitable production or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to
recover its spent costs from the sale of its interests. The amounts recorded as
mineral properties reflect actual costs incurred and are not intended to express
present or future values.
F-8
The
capitalized amounts may be written down if potential future cash flows,
including potential sales proceeds, related to the property are estimated to be
less than the carrying value of the property. Management of the Company reviews
the carrying value of each mineral property interest quarterly, and whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. Reductions in the carrying value of each property would be recorded
to the extent the carrying value of the investment exceeds the estimated future
net cash flows.
Exploration
and Development Costs
Exploration
costs are expensed as incurred. When it is determined that a mining deposit can
be economically and legally extracted or produced based on established proven
and probable reserves, further exploration costs and development costs incurred
after such determination will be capitalized. The establishment of proven and
probable reserves is based on results of final feasibility studies which
indicate whether a property is economically feasible. Upon commencement of
commercial production, capitalized costs will be transferred to the appropriate
asset category and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Capitalized
costs, net of salvage values, relating to a deposit which is abandoned or
considered uneconomic for the foreseeable future, will be written
off.
Impairment
of Mineral Rights
The
Company reviews mineral rights for indicators of impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. If the review indicates that the carrying amount of the asset may
not be recoverable, the potential impairment is measured based on a projected
discounted cash flow method using a discount rate that is considered to be
commensurate with the risk inherent in the company’s current business model.
During the years ended August 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded impairment
to mineral rights of $Nil and $233,051, respectively.
Asset
Retirement Obligations
The
Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 “Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations,” which establishes standards for the initial measurement
and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment
or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition,
construction or development and for normal operations of such assets. The
adoption of this standard has had no effect on the Company’s financial position
or results of operations. As of August 31, 2009 any potential costs relating to
the ultimate disposition of the Company’s mineral property interests have not
yet been determinable.
Stock
Based Compensation
Stock
based compensation expense is recorded in accordance with SFAS 123R
(Revised 2004), Share-Based
Payment, for stock and stock options awarded in return for services
rendered. The expense is measured at the grant-date fair value of the award and
recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service
period, which is the vesting period. The Company estimates forfeitures that it
expects will occur and records expense based upon the number of awards
expected to vest.
F-9
Basic
Loss per Share
Basic
loss per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the periods has been retroactively restated
to reflect a forward stock split of 10 new shares for 1 old share, effective
March 15, 2007.
Income
Taxes
The asset
and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by recognizing
deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of
temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets
and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the
deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be
realized.
Financial
Instruments
As of
August 31, 2009, the Company’s financial instruments consist of cash. Unless
otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to
significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial
instruments. Because of the short maturity of such assets and liabilities the
fair value of the financial instrument approximates its carrying value, unless
otherwise noted.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
During
the year ended August 31, 2009 and subsequently, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued a number of financial accounting standards,
none of which did or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s
results of operations, financial position, or cash flows, with exception
of:
New
Accounting Pronouncements (Adopted)
SFAS
No. 157. In September 2006, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). This statement defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements, but does not require any new fair
value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. In
February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, or FSP, No. FAS 157-2,
Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (“FSP FAS 157-2”),
which delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for certain nonfinancial
assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted SFAS No. 157 for
the Company’s financial assets and liabilities in the first quarter of fiscal
2009, and provisions for nonfinancial assets and liabilities in the first
quarter of fiscal 2010, which did not result in recognition of a transaction
adjustment to retained earnings or have a material impact on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
F-10
SFAS
No. 165. In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 165, Subsequent
Events (“SFAS No. 165”). This statement provides guidance to
establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that
occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are
issued or are available to be issued. This statement is effective for interim or
fiscal periods ending after June 15, 2009, and is applied prospectively. We
adopted SFAS No. 165 in the year ended August 31, 2009; this adoption did
not have any impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
New
Accounting Pronouncements (Not yet adopted)
SFAS
No. 168. In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 168, The
FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally of
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a Replacement of FASB Statement
No. 162 (“SFAS No. 168”). SFAS No. 168 establishes the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting
principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in
the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. SFAS
No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual
periods ending after September 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of
SFAS No. 168 will not have a material impact on our financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE
3 – MINERAL RIGHTS
During
August, 2009, a geologist engaged by the Company identified and acquired 56
lithium claims in the State of Nevada on behalf of the Company. The titles to
these claims were transferred to the Company subsequent to the year
end.
During
the year ended August 31, 2008, the Company allowed its mineral property options
on the Northwest Territories property to expire. Accordingly, an
impairment charge of $233,051 was recorded to write-off the assets.
NOTE
4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
On July 27, 2009, the
Company signed a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) for a term of
eight months with a private company (the “Consultant”) that has a common
director with the Company, whereby the Consultant receives $3,000 per month for
consulting services on corporate, administrative, business planning and business
analysis, and receives a maximum of $500 per month for preapproved expenses. In
accordance with the Consulting Agreement, consulting fees of $6,000 for the
first and last month of the term of the Agreement were paid and 280,000
common shares of the Company were issued to the Consultant upon signing of the
Consulting Agreement (Note 6). On September 5, 2009 the consulting fees were
increased to $4,000 per month in an amended agreement, which were further
amended to $4,500 per month on October 5, 2009 (Note 5). In addition, the
Company paid consulting fees of $3,000 to the Consultant for services provided
prior to the signing of the Agreement.
F-11
During
the year ended August 31, 2009, the Company issued 20,000 common shares to the
two new directors of the Company, valued at $0.10 per share for total director’s
compensation of $2,000.
During
the year ended August 31, 2008, total management fee of $22,449 was paid to a
director of the Company. As of August 31, 2008, this director resigned and no
balance was owed to this director.
NOTE
5 - COMMITMENTS
In
accordance with the amended Consulting Agreements with a related party of the
Company, the Company pays the related consultant consulting fees of $4,000 for
the month of September, 2009, and $4,500 per month for the five months from
October 2009 to February 2010, and a maximum of $500 for preapproved expenses
per month for the six months from September 2009 to February 2010 (Note
4).
NOTE
6 - COMMON STOCK
The
Company’s authorized stocks consist of 300,000,000 common shares at a par value
of $0.001.
In
October 2006, the Company raised $20,000 from the sale of 2,000,000 post-split
common shares at $0.10 per share.
On March
15, 2007, the board of directors approved a ten (10) for one (1) forward stock
split of authorized, issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Company
amended its Articles of Incorporation by the filing of a Certificate of Change
with the Nevada Secretary of State wherein it stated that it would issue ten
shares for every one share of common stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the effective date of the forward stock split. The change in the
Articles of Incorporation was effected with the Nevada Secretary of State on
April 6, 2007. As a result, the authorized capital increased from 30,000,000 to
300,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. The stock split
is presented retroactively in these financial statements.
On May 30
2007, the Company closed a private placement for an aggregate of 571,428 common
shares at a price of $0.70 for total proceeds of $400,000. These common shares
were issued in June 2007.
From June
to August 2007, the Company issued 210,000 common shares valued at $147,000 in
connection with its mineral property option agreements and acquisition
agreement.
The
Company issued 50,000 shares for a mineral property option in November 2007
valued at $35,000.
F-12

2009, the Company issued 20,000 common shares valued at $0.10 per share to the
two new directors of the Company (Note 4).
As of
August 31 2009, 59,201,428 shares of the Company’s common stock are issued and
outstanding.
NOTE
7 - INCOME TAXES
The
Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Number 109 (“SFAS
109”), “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred income taxes reflect the net
effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting
purposes, and (b) net operating loss carry-forwards. No net provision for
refundable Federal income tax has been made in the accompanying statement of
loss because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Similarly, no deferred
tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carry-forward has been
recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.
The
cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 34% of significant items
comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:

into one common share for two years, at $1.05 for the first 12 months and $1.25
for the second 12 months. Under the term of the agreement the Company has the
right to call upon funds as needed. The advances are at the discretion of the
counter-party. In accordance with the Financing Agreement, on November 20, 2009
the Company received gross proceeds of $200,000 for subscription of 235,294

The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated audited
financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this
registration statement. The following discussion contains forward-looking
statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results
could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements.
Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not
limited to those discussed below and elsewhere in this registration statement,
particularly in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 10 of this
registration statement.
General
Information
Our
financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (USD or US$) and are
prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles. All references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our
capital stock.
We are an
exploration stage company. There is no assurance that commercially viable
mineral deposits exist on the mineral property that we have under option.
Further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the
economic and legal feasibility of the claim is determined.
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the
period ended November 30, 2009.
Our
Proposed Exploration Program – Plan of Operation
Our
business plan is to proceed with the initial exploration of the Dun Glen Project
and the Clayton Valley Claims to determine if there are commercially exploitable
deposits of gold and lithium, and if we decide not to proceed, to seek other
mineral exploration properties.

We
continue to carefully control our expenses and overall costs as we move our
business development plan forward. We do not have any employees and engage
personnel through outside consulting contracts or agreements or other such
arrangements, including for legal, accounting and technical
consultants.
Due to
the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating and capital
expenses, in their report on the annual financial statements for the year ended
August 31, 2009, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph
regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our
financial statements contain additional notes describing the circumstances that
lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors. Our issuance of additional
equity securities could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests
of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans
would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash
commitments.
There are
no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for
continued operations. We are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet
immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that
additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that
it could be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to
obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet
our obligations as they come due.
36
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Since
inception, we have used our common stock and loans or advances from our officers
and directors to raise money for our optioned acquisition and for corporate
expenses. Net cash provided by financing activities from inception on April 14,
2005, to November 30, 2009, was $789,299 as a result of gross proceeds received
from sales of our common stock.
As of
November 30, 2009, our total assets consisting entirely of cash amounted to
$234,684 and total liabilities were $9,000.
For the
quarter ended November 30, 2009, the net loss was $45,844 ($0.00 per share). The
loss per share was based on a weighted average of 59,201,428 common shares
outstanding. The net loss from inception to November 30, 2009, is
$741,944.
Inflation
/ Currency Fluctuations
Inflation
has not been a factor during the recent quarter ended November 30, 2009.
Although inflation is moderately higher than it was during 2008 the actual rate
of inflation is not material and is not considered a factor in our contemplated
capital expenditure program.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby we have
financial guarantees or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material
continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligations that provide
financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the period.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Exploration
and Development Costs
Exploration
costs are expensed as incurred. When it is determined that a mining deposit can
be economically and legally extracted or produced based on established proven
and probable reserves, further exploration costs and development costs incurred
after such determination will be capitalized. The establishment of proven and
probable reserves is based on results of final feasibility studies which
indicate whether a property is economically feasible. Upon commencement of
commercial production, capitalized costs will be transferred to the appropriate
asset category and amortized over their estimated useful lives. Capitalized
costs, net of salvage values, relating to a deposit which is abandoned or
considered uneconomic for the foreseeable future, will be written
off.
37
Basic
Loss per Share
Basic
loss per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the periods has been retroactively restated
to reflect a forward stock split of 10 new shares for 1 old share, effective
March 15, 2007.
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the
years ended August 31, 2008 and 2009.
You
should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of
operations together with the consolidated audited financial statements and the
notes to consolidated audited financial statements included elsewhere in this
filing prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States. This discussion contains forward-looking
statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual
results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements.
Cash
Requirements
On
October 19, we announced that it had entered into an equity financing agreement
for up to $1,000,000 from private investors. Under the terms of the agreement,
we have the right to call upon funds as needed. We have received its
first tranche which will be used for additional claim evaluations and operating
expenses. We may draw up to $1,000,000 in total by issuing units consisting of
one share of its common stock at $0.85 US and one common stock purchase warrant
exercisable for the purchase of one additional share of common stock at $01.05
for the first 12 months and $1.25 if exercised by the end of the second year.
The securities to be issued under the agreement have not been registered under
the Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold in the United States
absent a registration or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements.
The
signing of this equity financing agreement will allow us to fund the
implementation of our operations and acquisitions strategy. In light of this new
funding commitment all current acquisitions and projects under consideration
were put on hold to be reviewed and prioritized to maximize future
growth. We expect to have additional information available for our
shareholders regarding the recommendations of our Geologist, A.L.(Buster)
Hunsaker, by the end of November 2009.
38
On
November 20, 2009 we received the first draw down of $200,000 from the financing
commitment. Based on our current plan of operations, we have sufficient funds
for the next 6 months, after which time we will require additional funds to
continue our exploration operations.
Since
inception on April 14, 2005, we have been engaged in exploration and acquisition
of mineral properties. Our principal capital resources have been acquired
through the issuance of common stock.
At August
31, 2009, we had a working capital of $46,500.
At August
31, 2009, our total assets of $50,200 which consists of cash of $13,000, prepaid
expenses of $33,500 and mineral property cost of $3,700. This compares with
our assets at August 31, 2008 of $31,393, which consisted of cash of $26,393 and
prepaid expenses of $5,000.
At August
31, 2009, our total liabilities were $nil, compared to our liabilities of $4,314
as at August 31, 2008. We have had no revenues from
inception.
Results
of Operations
We posted
losses of $66,879 for the year ending August 31, 2009, losses of $283,375 for
the year ended August 31, 2008, and losses of $696,100 since inception to August
31, 2009. The principal component of the loss was the property
option write-off and general and administrative expenses.
Operating
expenses for the year ending August 31, 2009 were $66,879 compared to the year
ending August 31, 2008 that were $283,375.
Our
business plan is focused on the long-term exploration and development of our
mineral properties once acquired
Going
Concern
Due to
our being a development stage company and not having generated revenues, in the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2009, we
included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements
contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to
this disclosure.
The
continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial
support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could
result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current
stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would
be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash
commitments.
39
Critical
Accounting Policies
Consolidation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements included all of the accounts of
our company and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Blue Lithium Energy Inc., a Nevada
corporation. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the period.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Mineral
Property Acquisition Costs
The costs
of acquiring mineral properties are capitalized and amortized over their
estimated useful lives following the commencement of production or expensed if
it is determined that the mineral property has no future economic value or the
properties are sold or abandoned.
Cost
includes cash consideration and the fair market value of shares issued on the
acquisition of mineral properties. Properties acquired under option agreements,
whereby payments are made at our sole discretion, are recorded in the accounts
at such time as the payments are made.
The
recoverable amounts for mineral properties is dependent upon the existence of
economically recoverable reserves; the acquisition and maintenance of
appropriate permits, licenses and rights; our ability to obtain financing to
complete the exploration and development of the properties; and upon future
profitable production or alternatively upon our ability to recover its spent
costs from the sale of its interests. The amounts recorded as mineral properties
reflect actual costs incurred and are not intended to express present or future
values.
The
capitalized amounts may be written down if potential future cash flows,
including potential sales proceeds, related to the property are estimated to be
less than the carrying value of the property. Our management reviews the
carrying value of each mineral property interest quarterly, and whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. Reductions in the carrying value of each property would be recorded
to the extent the carrying value of the investment exceeds the estimated future
net cash flows.
Basic
Loss per Share
Basic
loss per share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the periods has been retroactively restated
to reflect a forward stock split of 10 new shares for 1 old share, effective
March 15, 2007.

Involvement
in Certain Legal Proceedings
During
the past five years, none of our officers, directors, promoters or control
persons have had any of the following events occur:
●
|
a
bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person
was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the
bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
|
|
●
|
conviction
in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal
proceeding, excluding traffic violations and other minor
offenses;
|
|
●
|
being
subject to any order, judgment or decree, not substantially reversed,
suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently
enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in
any type of business, securities or banking business;
and/or
|
|
●
|
being
found by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a civil action, the SEC or
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or
state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been
reversed, suspended or vacated.
|
Other
Directorships
Other
than the above, none of our directors hold any other directorships in any
company with a class of securities registered pursuant to section 12 of the
Exchange Act or subject to the requirements of section 15(d) of such Act or any
company registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940.
Board
of Directors and Director Nominees
Since our
Board of Directors does not include a majority of independent directors, the
decisions of the Board regarding director nominees are made by persons who have
an interest in the outcome of the determination. The Board will
consider candidates for directors proposed by security holders, although no
formal procedures for submitting candidates have been adopted. Unless
otherwise determined, at any time not less than 90 days prior to the next annual
Board meeting at which a slate of director nominees is adopted, the Board will
accept written submissions from proposed nominees that include the name, address
and telephone number of the proposed nominee; a brief statement of the nominee’s
qualifications to serve as a director; and a statement as to why the security
holder submitting the proposed nominee believes that the nomination would be in
the best interests of our security holders. If the proposed nominee
is not the same person as the security holder submitting the name of the
nominee, a letter from the nominee agreeing to the submission of his or her name
for consideration should be provided at the time of submission. The
letter should be accompanied by a résumé supporting the nominee’s qualifications
to serve on the Board, as well as a list of references.
The Board
identifies director nominees through a combination of referrals from different
people, including management, existing Board members and security
holders. Once a candidate has been identified, the Board reviews the
individual’s experience and background and may discuss the proposed nominee with
the source of the recommendation. If the Board believes it to be
appropriate, Board members may meet with the proposed nominee before making a
final determination whether to include the proposed nominee as a member of the
slate of director nominees submitted to security holders for election to the
Board.
43
Some of
the factors which the Board considers when evaluating proposed nominees include
their knowledge of and experience in business matters, finance, capital markets
and mergers and acquisitions. The Board may request additional
information from each candidate prior to reaching a determination, and it is
under no obligation to formally respond to all recommendations, although as a
matter of practice, it will endeavor to do so.
Conflicts
of Interest
Our
directors are not obligated to commit their full time and attention to our
business and, accordingly, they may encounter a conflict of interest in
allocating their time between our operations and those of other
businesses. In the course of their other business activities, they
may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be
appropriate for presentation to us as well as other entities to which they owe a
fiduciary duty. As a result, they may have conflicts of interest in
determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be
presented. They may also in the future become affiliated with
entities that are engaged in business activities similar to those we intend to
conduct.
In
general, officers and directors of a corporation are required to present
business opportunities to the corporation if:
●
|
the
corporation could financially
undertake the opportunity;
|
●
|
the
opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business;
and
|
●
|
it
would be unfair to the corporation and its stockholders not to bring the
opportunity to the attention of the
corporation.
|
We plan
to adopt a code of ethics that obligates our directors, officers and employees
to disclose potential conflicts of interest and prohibits those persons from
engaging in such transactions without our consent.

as incentive for performance. No individual grants or agreements regarding
future payouts under non-stock price-based plans have been made to any executive
officer or any director or any employee or consultant since our inception;
accordingly, no future payouts under non-stock price-based plans or agreements
have been granted or entered into or exercised by any of the officers or
directors or employees or consultants since we were founded.
Compensation
of Directors
The
members of the Board of Directors are not compensated by Black Hawk for acting
as such. Directors are reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred. There are no arrangements pursuant to which directors are or will be
compensated in the future for any services provided as a director.
We do not
have any agreements for compensating our directors for their services in their
capacity as directors, although such directors are expected in the future to
receive stock options to purchase shares of our common stock as awarded by our
board of directors.
Employment
Contracts, Termination of Employment, Change-in-Control
Arrangements
There are
no employment contracts or other contracts or arrangements with our officers or
directors other than those disclosed in this report. There are no compensation
plans or arrangements, including payments to be made by Black Hawk, with respect
to the officers, directors, employees or consultants of Black Hawk that would
result from the resignation, retirement or any other termination of such
directors, officers, employees or consultants. There are no arrangements for
directors, officers or employees that would result from a
change-in-control.
Indebtedness
of Directors, Senior Officers, Executive Officers and Other
Management
None of
our directors or executive officers or any associate or affiliate of our company
during the last two fiscal years is or has been indebted to our company by way
of guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar agreement or
understanding currently outstanding.
The
following table sets forth, as of the date of this report, the total number of
shares owned beneficially by each of our directors, officers and key employees,
individually and as a group, and the present owners of 5% or more of our total
outstanding shares. The shareholder listed below has direct ownership of his
shares and possesses sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the
shares.

(1) The person named above may
be deemed to be our “parent” and “promoter” within the meaning of such terms
under the Securities Act by virtue of his direct and indirect stock holdings.
Mr. Murphy is our only “promoter”. Mr. Murphy is also our President,
Chief Executive Officer and director.
(2)
Beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly,
through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has
or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the
voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose
or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be
beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the
power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are
deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to
acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of
the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage
ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include
the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by
reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding
shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the
person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares
of common stock actually outstanding on the date of this report as of which
there were 60,236,722 shares of our common stock issued and
outstanding.

Change
in Control
We are
not aware of any arrangement that might result in a change in control of our
company in the future.
47
During
the three months ended November 30, 2009, in accordance with a consulting
agreement signed in July, 2009 and amended in September, 2009, we paid total
consulting fees of $13,000 to a private company that has a common director with
us.
There
have been no other transactions since the beginning of our last fiscal year or
any currently proposed transactions in which we are, or plan to be, a
participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 or one percent of the
average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years,
and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material
interest.
During
the last two years and except as disclosed below, none of the following persons
has had any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction to which our
company was or is a party, or in any proposed transaction to which our company
proposes to be a party:
(a)
|
any
director or officer of our company;
|
|
(b)
|
any
proposed director of officer of our company;
|
|
(c)
|
any
person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more
than 5% of the voting rights attached to our common stock;
or
|
|
(d)
|
any
member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons (including
a spouse, parents, children, siblings, and
in-laws).

Director
Independence
Our
securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board which does not have any director
independence requirements. Once we engage further directors and
officers, we plan to develop a definition of independence and scrutinize our
Board of Directors with regard to this definition.
LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
We know
of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we
involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There
are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any
registered beneficial shareholder are an adverse party or has a material
interest adverse to us.
We intend to furnish
annual reports to stockholders, which will include audited financial statements
reported on by our Certified Public Accountants. In addition, we will issue
unaudited quarterly or other interim reports to stockholders, as we deem
appropriate or required by applicable securities
regulations.
Our
Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest
extent not prohibited by Nevada law.
48
The
general effect of the foregoing is to indemnify a control person, officer or
director from liability, thereby making us responsible for any expenses or
damages incurred by such control person, officer or director in any action
brought against them based on their conduct in such capacity, provided they did
not engage in fraud or criminal activity.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to our directors, officers or control persons pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is therefore unenforceable.
We are
not required to deliver an annual report to our stockholders but will
voluntarily send an annual report, together with our annual audited financial
statements. Any Securities and Exchange Commission filings that we do file will
be available to the public over the internet at the SEC’s website at
http://www.sec.gov.

INDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The only statute, charter
provision, bylaw, contract, or other arrangement under which any controlling
person, director or officer of us is insured or indemnified in any manner
against any liability which he may incur in his capacity as such, is as
follows:
●
|
Article
IX of our Bylaws, filed as Exhibit 3.2 to our Registration Statement on
Form SB-2 filed on January 17, 2006;
and
|
●
|
Chapter
78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the
“NRS”).
|
50
Nevada
Revised Statutes
Section
78.138 of the Nevada Revised Statute (“NRS”) provides for immunity of directors
from monetary liability, except in certain enumerated circumstances, as
follows:
“Except
as otherwise provided in NRS 35.230, 90.660, 91.250, 452.200, 452.270, 668.045
and 694A.030, or unless the Articles of Incorporation or an amendment thereto,
in each case filed on or after October 1, 2003, provide for greater individual
liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to the corporation
or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or
failure to act in his capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven
that:
(a)
|
his
act or failure to act constituted a breach of his fiduciary duties as a
director or officer; and
|
(b)
|
his
breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing
violation of law.”
|
Section
78.5702 of the NRS provides as follows:
1.
|
A
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the action, suit or proceeding if
he:
|
(a)
|
is
not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138;
or
|
|
(b)
|
acted
in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was unlawful.
|
2.
|
A
corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment
in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer,
employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request
of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against
expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or
settlement of the action or suit if
he:
|
|
(a)
|
is
not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138;
or
|
(b)
|
acted
in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the
corporation.
|
To the
extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been
successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or
proceeding referred to in subsections 1 and 2, or in defense of any claim, issue
or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses,
including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with the defense.
51
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, may be permitted to directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in said
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
The following is
an itemized statement of the expenses incurred in
connection with this registration statement and the issuance and distribution of
the shares of common stock being registered under
this registration statement. All such expenses will be
paid by us.

RECENT
SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
During
the last three fiscal years we have had the following issuances of unregistered
securities:
●
|
In
October 2006, we raised $20,000 from the sale of 2,000,000 common shares
at $0.10 per share.
|
●
|
On
May 30, 2007, we closed a private placement of 571,428 common shares for
gross proceeds of $400,000.
|
●
|
From
June to August 2007, we issued 210,000 common shares valued at $147,000 in
connection with our mineral property option agreements and acquisition
agreement.
|
●
|
In
August 2009, we issued 280,000 common shares valued at $0.10 per share to
a related-party consultant of the
Company.
|
●
|
In
August 2009, we issued 20,000 common shares valued at $0.10 per share to
our two new directors.
|
●
|
On
August 6, 2009 we closed a private placement of 600,000 common shares at
$0.10 for proceeds of $60,000.
|
●
|
On
October 16, 2009 we closed a private placement of 64,705 common shares at
a price of $0.85 for proceeds of
$54,999.25.
|
●
|
On
November 20, 2009 we received a first tranche of $200,000 under a share
agreement that provides us with up to $1,000,000. The agreement
is to issue common shares at a price of $0.85 upon receipt of funds and to
issue a warrant for the like number of shares priced at $1.05 for the
first year and $1.25 if exercised in the second
year.
|
●
|
On
January 29, 2010 we received a second tranche of $200,000 under a share
agreement that provides us with up to $1,000,000. The agreement
is to issue common shares at a price of $0.85 upon receipt of funds and to
issue a warrant for the like number of shares priced at $1.05 for the
first year and $1.25 if exercised in the second
year.
|
52
We relied
upon Regulation S, Section 4(2) and Rule 504 of Regulation D of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended for the issuances of the above listed securities. Each
prospective investor was given a private placement memorandum designed to
disclose all material aspects of an investment in us, including the business,
management, offering details, risk factors, financial statements and use of
funds. The investors were business acquaintances, family members, or friends of,
or personally known to, our officers and directors. It is the belief of
management that each of the individuals who invested have such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters that they are capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of the investment and therefore did not need the
protections offered by registering their shares under Securities and Act of
1933, as amended. Each investor completed a subscription confirmation letter and
private placement subscription agreement whereby the investors certified that
they were purchasing the shares for their own accounts, with investment intent.
This offering was not accompanied by general advertisement or general
solicitation and the shares were issued with a Rule 144 restrictive
legend.

UNDERTAKINGS
The
registrant hereby undertakes:
1.
|
To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration
statement:
|
|
(i)
|
To
include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
|
|
(ii)
|
To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration
statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from
the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in
the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration
statement; and
|
|
(iii)
|
To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material
change to such information in the registration
statement;
|
2.
|
That
for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act, each
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof;
|
3.
|
To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering; and
|
54
4.
|
That,
for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the
Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the
securities, the registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of
securities of the registrant pursuant to this registration statement,
regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the
purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by
means of any of the following communications, the registrant will be a
seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such
securities to such purchaser:
|
|
(i)
|
Any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the registrant relating to the
offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424;
|
|
(ii)
|
Any
free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf
of the registrant or used or referred to by the
registrant;
|
|
(iii)
|
The
portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering
containing material information about the registrant or its securities
provided by or on behalf of the registrant;
and
|
|
(iv)
|
Any
other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the
registrant to the purchaser.
|
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.
Each
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement
relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B
or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be
part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first
used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use,
supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or
prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such
document immediately prior to such date of first use.
