PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Overview

We were formed in the State of Delaware on October 15, 2007.  On October 15, 2007, we completed a holding company reorganization with Dicut Holdings, Inc. (“Dicut”) pursuant to Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Dicut previously operated in the information technology business, but ceased operations in 2005.

On September 14, 2007, GoldLand Holdings, Co. (“GoldLand”) acquired an interest in 174.82 acres of land on War Eagle Mountain in Idaho, consisting of a 100% interest in 103 acres, and a 29.166% interest in 71.82 acres.    

On October 11, 2007, we entered into a lease agreement with GoldLand, under which we leased GoldLand’s owned and leased acreage on War Eagle Mountain, Idaho. The lease expires on April 1, 2025, although we have the right to extend the lease for an additional five years upon payment of a lease extension fee of $1,000,000.  Under the lease, we are responsible for all mining activities on the land, and we are obligated to make annual lease payments of $1,000,000 per year payable monthly, plus a nonaccountable expense allowance of $10,000 per month for any month in which ore is mined from the property, and a royalty of 15% from any proceeds we receive from a smelter of ore produced from land.  Pierre Quilliam, our chairman and chief executive officer, was also the chairman and chief executive officer of GoldLand at the time the lease was entered into.

On September 21, 2008, we acquired from Mineral Extraction, Inc. all mineral, mining and access rights to two mining claims on War Eagle Mountain, covering 18.877 total acres, and filed lode claims for four mill site locations and the Sinker Tunnel location.  In December 2009, we acquired a mill site at the foot of War Eagle Mountain, and constructed a mill on the site.  

We began actual operations in May 2010. Initially, our operations will consist of processing tailings left on the mine site from prior mining operations, which estimate are about 500,000 tons.  Later, after we complete a confirmation program to prove up and locate reserves on our property, and make further capital improvements to the mine site, we plan to begin mining and processing raw ore.

In 2010, the roads to the Sinker Tunnel Complex were upgraded to allow 25-ton trucks access to the site, and an area 300x400 feet was prepared to act as a staging area at the 5,200 foot level. The Sinker Tunnel was aerated in its entire length and the entrance to the Sinker Tunnel was permanently extended and secured to avoid land or snow slides to block access to the Sinker Tunnel. Permanent drainage pipes are being laid in the Sinker Tunnel as it was determined that the Sinker Tunnel is the main drain for the War Eagle complex. Mining and shoring or rock bolting of some weak points in the top wall is underway. Permitting for exploration of the Sinker Tunnel is underway with training for underground personnel and safety measures being installed per the latest mining rules and regulations.

History of Mining on War Eagle Mountain



3



War Eagle Mountain is one of three peaks in Southwest Idaho that form a contiguous fault trend, and which have all produced minerals from the same veins:  Delamar Mountain, Florida Mountain, and War Eagle Mountain.

In the summer of 1862, the Oro Fino Vein on top of War Eagle Mountain was discovered.  During 1863 a number of lode claims were located and mining in earnest began.  By the end of 1875 a total of ten shafts had been sunk in the Oro Fino Vein ranging in depth from 300 feet to 1,250 feet. The Oro Fino Shaft at the North end is 300 feet deep and the Mahogany Shaft at the South end is 1,100 feet deep. The Golden Chariot and Ida Elmore shafts are 1,250 feet and 1,000 feet respectively.  

By 1866, all the major mines in the area had been discovered and were being developed. The major mines were the Oro Fino, Cumberland, Poorman, Ida Elmore, Golden Chariot, Minnesota, Mahogany and the Morning Star in Silver City.  There were 12 mills in the area with a total of 132 stamps to pulverize the ore, separate the metal from the rock and pour the raw metal into rectangular bricks of bullion dore. This bullion was then shipped out of the area, sometimes as far away as Europe, for refining into pure gold and silver.  By the end of 1875, approximately 750,000 ounces of gold equivalent were reportedly extracted from the shafts on War Eagle Mountain.

In August 1875, a financial panic that had started in New York in 1873, culminated with the San Francisco bank crash, and then the closure of the San Francisco Stock Exchange. A nationwide depression occurred, which resulted in source of working capital for the mines drying up. The miners continued to work without pay until October 1875, when they left the mountain for employment elsewhere.  During the winter of 1875-1876, because the mines were not being used, the shafts filled with water.  This condition has existed for the past 134 years, which has resulted in the preservation of these historical vein systems without being disturbed by intruders or miners.

From 1875 through 1899, mining men who had managed and worked in the underground mines and milling operations tried to promote a project that would allow them to recover the remaining submerged gold and silver reserves they knew existed.  Finally, in November 1899, American Smelting and Refining Company (ASARCO) funded the Sinker Tunnel Project. The project objective was to drive a 10 x 10 tunnel from Sinker Creek on the North-East side of War Eagle Mountain, at an elevation of 5200 feet, approximately 2,000 feet below the bottom of the Golden Chariot Shaft. This tunnel was named the Sinker Tunnel, and its intended use was to drain water out of War Eagle Mountain and to haul ore mined from the veins to the surface for milling.  The cost of the project was about $250,000 (or the equivalent of $25,000,000 today).

It was anticipated that the Sinker Tunnel would intersect the Oro Fino Vein at about 7,000 feet from the tunnel portal.  The Oro Fino Vein was actually intersected at 6,890 feet in May 1902.  After the Sinker Tunnel was extended north about 80 feet, a raise was started upwards toward the bottom of the Golden Chariot Shaft.  When this raise reached 620 feet in height it was only 150 feet below the bottom of the Golden Chariot Shaft, which contained about 1,100 feet of water.  At this point the amount of water permeating down into the raise was increasing every day, which caused the miners to become anxious about their safety, and raised concerns as to how ASARCO would punch the final hole into the bottom of the Golden Chariot shaft.  The miners raised concerns with the Idaho Inspector of Mines about the working conditions, which resulted in the Idaho Inspector of Mines stopping any further work in the area until safety measures were implemented.  At that time, ASARCO elected to close the project down, and return later if conditions changed, which never happened.

During 1932 and 1933, some additional exploration tunnels were driven to the north and to the south from the raise.  In 1941, salvagers opened the Sinker Tunnel and removed all the steel rail and pipe scrap for the war effort. Shortly thereafter, a landslide completely buried the entrance to the tunnel under 50 feet or more of earth and rock, and the Sinker Tunnel complex was forgotten.

In 1993, Mineral Extraction, Inc., the current owner at the time, rediscovered the location of the tunnel and over several years attempted to refurbish the Sinker Tunnel complex, with the exception of the raise, nearest the bottom of the Golden Chariot shaft.  The entrance was excavated, and a semi permanent structure was built to protect the site.  In 2010, the roads to the Sinker Tunnel Complex were upgraded to allow 25-ton trucks access to the site, and an area 300x400 feet was prepared to act as a staging area at the 5,200 foot level. The tunnel was aerated in its entire length and the entrance to the tunnel was permanently extended to avoid land or snow slides to block access to the tunnel. Permanent drainage pipes are being laid in the tunnel as it was determined that the Tunnel is the main drain for the War Eagle complex. Mining and shoring or rock bolting of some weak points in the top wall is underway. Permitting for exploration of the tunnel is underway with training for underground personnel and safety measures being installed as per the latest mining rules and regulations. The company is also a member, in good standing, of the Idaho mining rescue system.  

The mines on War Eagle Mountain were very productive in the first few years because the surface deposits were of extraordinary richness. As the mines got deeper the veins had a smaller yet more consistent amount of ore in relation to the amount of rock that needed to be removed to expose it. Generally, the value of ore per ton of rock removed remained consistent from a depth of 150 feet to as deep as any of the mines were worked. This would indicate that the extensions of the veins into the deeper levels, not yet reached by the mine shafts, would contain the same percentage of metal ore.

The mines became more expensive to develop and operate as they got deeper. This was not due to a decline in the yield per ton, but due to the increased cost of lifting the mineral ore and of removing water from deeper shafts.  The removal of ground water in mines is a persistent expense that must be addressed on a daily basis. When a mine doesn't have a lower working level tunnel – like the Sinker Tunnel Complex – that intersects a vertical shaft, the water must be brought to the surface and disposed of no matter what the expense or technical inconvenience if the mine is to continue operating. This increased cost of mining at depth was one of the most significant problems for the mines on War Eagle Mountain.

Description of Mining Properties

We have one mining property, which is a variety of land and mining claims on and near War Eagle Mountain, Idaho.  War Eagle Mountain is located about 50 miles southwest of Boise, Idaho, and about one mile east of Silver City, Idaho.  The Sinker Tunnel is about 15 miles off of State Highway 78 and the mine sites on the top of War Eagle Mountain are about 20 miles off of State Highway 78.  Access to both the Sinker Tunnel and the mines on the mountain currently is by truck or heavy duty vehicle or ATV, as only the first seven miles of county roadway off of State Highway 78 is paved.  Below is a map illustrating the location and access of War Eagle Mountain:

A patented mining claim is one which the federal government has passed title to the claimant, making the claimant the owner of the surface and mineral rights.  An unpatented mining claim is one which is still owned by the federal government, but which the claimant has a right to possession to extract minerals.  Claims to federal land for mining purposes may be obtained by filing a claim with the Bureau of Land Management and paying a nominal fee.  A claim may be maintained as long at the holder engages in mining activity on the claim or, in lieu of mining activity, by filing an annual renewal form and paying an annual fee to the Bureau of Land Management by September 1 of each year.  The annual fee is $10 per claim for small miners and $140 per claim for large miners.  GoldLand is obligated to pay any annual fees to maintain the claims which it leases to us.

GoldLand is not the sole owner of seven of the patented claims that we lease from GoldLand, and instead owns only 29.166% of the claims.  The remaining 70.834% of the patented claims are owned by a large number of descendants of the original parties that obtained the patent rights to the mining claims.  We are in the process of trying to identify and acquire or lease the remainder of ownership of these mining claims.

The Sinker Tunnel is burdened by a royalty obligation to Bisell Investments, Inc. and New Vision Financial, Ltd., under which we are obligated to pay each a quarterly royalty of 7.5% of the net smelter return or net refinery return of any ore which originates, terminates or was gained access through the Sinker Tunnel or the grounds of the Sinker Tunnel complex.  The royalty was originally granted by Mineral Extraction, Inc. to Laoshan Group, LLC, and then acquired by the current owners of it, before we acquired the Sinker Tunnel.

We only own the mineral rights to the Cumberland and Louisiana Lode Claims.  The surface rights were retained by Mineral Extraction, Inc., although we entered into a license agreement with Mineral Extraction, Inc. under which we have the right to use the surface for all purposes related to mining ore from the claims.

Mill Site: We own 20 acres in Owyhee County at the foot of War Eagle Mountain, where he have offices on site and a milling complex suitable for the present planned production.

Geology of Mining Properties

War Eagle Mountain is the eastern most peak in the War Eagle-Florida-Delamar Mountain trend, which is an east to west chain of mountains in Southwestern Idaho.  All three peaks show the same type of gold and silver veins.  Kinross Gold Corporation owns Florida and Delamar Mountains.  Delamar Mountain, the western most of the three, had been successfully open pit mined from 1977 to the late 1990s.

The host rock on War Eagle Mountain is granite.  The veins containing gold and silver are primarily filled fissures in the host rock that occur primarily in a north-south direction.  The gold and silver bearing veins of War Eagle Mountain are steeply dipping to subvertical in attitude and are generally oriented in a NS to NW-SE direction.  For example, the Oro Fino/Golden Chariot vein, which is the vein that has been mined and explored the most, occurs at an 8 percent tilt to vertical.  The textures, mineralogy and geometry of the veins all indicate that they are "epithermal" deposits. This means that, according to the current interpretations, the minerals were deposited by hydrothermal solutions of “supercritical” very hot, high pressure water that made their way upward through the earth’s crust, depositing the minerals in the loose rock in the fissures.  The richest ores have been found in ore shoots, which are places where small cross-fractures intersect the main vein.  

Historical records indicate that the Oro Fino Vein system extends at least some 12,000 feet in a north-south direction and has been observed to vary greatly in thickness (from 0.5 ft to 25 ft) and mill grades of 0.5 to 1.25 Troy ounces of gold per ton.  Our owned and leased land encompasses only about 600 feet of the Oro Fino Vein system, but all of the major mine shafts that exist on the system.  Several large pockets of very rich ore concentration have been found scattered throughout the ore shoots. Mill grades at these ore shoots containing up to 25 Troy ounces per ton have been encountered, with some areas showing grades as high as 90 to 300 oz gold/ton.

It is not known exactly how deep the vein systems are on War Eagle Mountain.  The Sinker Tunnel cuts through the Oro Fino Vein approximately 2,500 feet below the outcrop on the surface and was still strong and well developed.  To date, only about the first 300 to 1100 feet in depth of the Oro Fino Vein has been mined on approximately 15% of its total known length.



8



Because the host rock on War Eagle Mountain is granite, the mine shafts on War Eagle Mountain are very stable, with minimal need to shore the walls with timber.  Also, the Sinker Tunnel Complex needs almost no timber to shore or brace its walls or ceilings.  

Mining activity to date has focused on three veins that show at the surface of War Eagle Mountain – the Oro Fino Vein system, the Poorman Vein system and the Central Vein system – with the Oro Fino Vein being the most productive.  The Poorman Vein is about 1,000 feet to the west of the Oro Fino Vein.  Historically, the Poorman vein has produced mostly silver.  The Oro Fino Vein system has approximately 6 other vein systems associated with it, while some 40 additional main vein systems are believed to exist on War Eagle Mountain.

At present, work on the mine consists largely of vertical mine shafts at the top of War Eagle Mountain, which were started by miners in the 1800’s, typically on top of a vein that was evident from an outcropping on the surface.  The interiors of the mine shafts are believed to be in good shape, but they are all flooded from groundwater and will have to be drained before active mining can commence.  We plan to drain the mine shafts by connecting them to the Sinker Tunnel below.  We have recollared five mine shafts with stones and steel rails to make them safer and prevent rain water from entering the mines. We have extended the Sinker Tunnel entrance by 70 feet and relandscaped the property around the extension, both on the request of the Bureau of Land Management and of our engineers.  

Through December 31, 2010, we spent approximately $868,859 to acquire and refurbish the mine shafts, the Sinker Tunnel and access roads.  

Some of the properties have been surveyed by competent professional engineer and surveyors, but we have yet to have the properties evaluated to determine whether any mineral deposits can be mined profitably at current market rates.  Therefore, the properties are without known reserves and our proposed mining activities are exploratory in nature at this time.  The most comprehensive survey of the mineralogy of War Eagle Mountain is a report issued by the Idaho Bureau of Mines and Geology in 1926.  However, the authors of the report did not have access to the flooded mine shafts, and developed their report from visual observation of the surface, reports of past mining activity, and interviews with mining engineers who had previously worked at the site. Other reports include a report prepared in 1928 by Sinker Tunnel Mining Co., which at the time was in the process of refurbishing and extending the Sinker Tunnel, and a report issued by Copper Range Exploration in 1970.  However, the mountain has never been surveyed with a comprehensive scheme of core samples to locate and assess the veins that exist on the mountain.  All representations of potential quantities of minerals are based on historical records which are believed to be accurate, but which may not have been performed pursuant to modern standards for evaluating mineral claims. We will start core drilling from inside the Sinker tunnel and on the surface of War Eagle Mountain during 2011 and will have a resident geologist analyze the cores and draw a 3D picture of the inside of the mountain and its mineral contents.  

Description of Milling Process

We have installed a mill at the foot of War Eagle Mountain which is capable of processing 100 tons of ore per day using a chemical free process.  A total of 3 circuits at the mill will produce a gold and silver concentrate as follows:

·

Ore arrives at the mill by truck from the mountain and is weighed and stacked on site in piles clearly identified as to source.  A sample is then taken to be assayed for quality

control. The ore bearing rock is then loaded into a crushing and sorting circuit consisting of 3 crushers, conveyors and sorters which reduces the ore to 5/16" nuggets or smaller.

·

The crushed ore is brought into the mill via conveyor and mixed with water in a steel ball mill to produce a liquid slurry which is strained through a <270 mm mesh strainer. The ore bearing slurry water is strained, and then pumped into a Falcon Concentrator, which is basically an inverted rubber bell that spins at a high rate of speed. The concentrator forces the heavy particles in the slurry up the sides of the bell, where the heavier metals fall as a paste.  The paste is sent to the riffles table where a divider allows the washed ores to go to the concentrate tank for settling.  The cloudy water is sent to the belt press which squeezes 97% of the water out of the feed and sends it to the tanks to be reused, while the sediment is sent to a tailings pile. The dry tailings are stored in an outside tailings pile which will then be shaped consistent with the contours of the land and covered and seeded for preservation of land appearance. The water is provided by underground storage tanks and is recycled continuously, thus requiring only a small amount of water to make up for losses due to evaporation and spillage.

·

The paste that collects in the concentrate tank is then remixed with clear water and put through a vibrating process where the heavy metals (gold, silver, titanium, etc.) are separated from other substances and deposited in sealed containers.  The final product is then dried, assayed and sent to the contracted smelter for purification. We will pour our own bullion dore bars during the course of this year.

Smelting Operation

We are in the process of building a smelter operation to further process the concentrate that is produced in our milling operation.  We estimate it will cost approximately $200,000 to construct and equip the smelter, and should be completed around July 1, 2011.  The smelter will enable us to process the gold and silver in our concentrate into dore bars, which will then be assayed and shipped to a refiner for final processing to the level of purity needed to market the ore.  Until our smelter is complete, we plan to stockpile our concentrate.  

Competition

We have no competition for the extraction of minerals from War Eagle Mountain, since no other mining company has an interest on War Eagle Mountain at this time.  However, the mineral extraction business in general is highly competitive.  Numerous larger mining companies actively seek out and bid for mining prospects and properties as well as for the services of third-party providers and supplies, such as mining equipment, transportation equipment and smelters, upon which we rely.  Many of these companies not only explore for, produce and market minerals, but also carry out smelting and refining operations and market the resultant products on a worldwide basis.  Most of our competitors have longer operating histories and substantially greater financial and personnel resources than we do.

Competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of legislation and regulation considered from time to time by the government of the United States and the states in which we have operations, as well as factors that we cannot control, including international political conditions, overall levels of supply and demand for minerals, and currency fluctuations.

Markets and Major Customers



10



Our original plan was to process the ore we mine into concentrate and then contract with a refinery to refine the bullion concentrate and purchase any resulting minerals at market prices, less a commission.  While there are a number of refiners which will refine concentrate on a contract basis, our current plan is to construct our own smelting operation to convert our concentrate into dore bars, and then ship the dore bars to a refinery for final processing.  Operating our own smelting operation will allow us to control the processing of our minerals better, including the ability to more precisely assay our production before it is shipped to a third party for final processing.  Under our lease agreement with GoldLand, we are obligated to pay a royalty of 15% of any amounts we receive from the refinery.

Seasonality of Business

Weather conditions will affect our ability to mine ore from our property.  Generally, from November to April of each year the road leading to the top of the mountain property is impassable because of snow. We will be transporting ore from the dumps on the mountain during the coming summer and fall.  We are keeping the road to the Sinker Tunnel open year round and plan to mine and deliver more ore to the mill when we start underground mining, to ensure a steady stream of revenues throughout the year.

Operational Risks

Mining involves a high degree of risk, which a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.  Mining involves the risk that fires, shaft collapses, flooding, equipment failure, human error and other circumstances may cause significant injury to persons or property, and may affect our ability to extract mined ore from our properties without significant additional capital expenditures. In such event, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the satisfaction of which could substantially reduce available cash and possibly result in loss of our leased mining properties. Such hazards may also cause damage to or destruction of our mine shafts, producing formations, production facilities, storage and transportation facilities, or other processing facilities.

We will not insure fully against all risks associated with our business either because such insurance is not available or because we believe the premium costs are prohibitive. A loss not fully covered by insurance could have a materially adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations. For further discussion on risks see “Risk Factors” below.

Regulation

Mining operations on War Eagle Mountain will be affected by numerous laws and regulations, including environmental, conservation, tax and other laws and regulations relating to the resource industry.  Most of the extraction operations will require permits or authorizations from federal, state or local agencies.  We are responsible for compliance with all applicable laws and regulations under the terms of our lease with GoldLand, but the denial or vacating of permits needed by us could have a material adverse effect on our revenues.  In view of the many uncertainties with respect to current and future laws and regulations, we cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on our future revenues.

We expect that our operations will comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations.  We believe that the existence and enforcement of such laws and regulations will have no more restrictive an effect on our operations than on other similar companies in the resource industry.

Environmental



11



General. Mining operations on War Eagle Mountain are subject to local, state and federal laws and regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control in the United States. The extraction of mineral ore, is subject to stringent environmental regulation by state and federal authorities, including the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). Such regulation can increase the cost of planning, designing, installing and operating mining facilities.

Significant fines and penalties may be imposed for the failure to comply with environmental laws and regulations. Some environmental laws provide for joint and several strict liability for remediation of releases of hazardous substances, rendering a person liable for environmental damage without regard to negligence or fault on the part of such person. In addition, we may be subject to claims alleging personal injury or property damage as a result of alleged exposure to hazardous substances.

Waste Disposal. Mining operations on War Eagle Mountain may generate wastes, including hazardous wastes, that are subject to the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA") and comparable state statutes. The EPA has limited the disposal options for certain wastes that are designated as hazardous under RCRA ("Hazardous Wastes").  Furthermore, it is possible that certain wastes generated by mining operations on War Eagle Mountain that are currently exempt from treatment as Hazardous Wastes may in the future be designated as Hazardous Wastes, and therefore be subject to more rigorous and costly operating and disposal requirements.

CERCLA. The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), also known as the "Superfund" law, generally imposes joint and several liability for costs of investigation and remediation and for natural resource damages, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons with respect to the release into the environment of substances designated under CERCLA as hazardous substances ("Hazardous Substances").  These classes of persons or so-called potentially responsible parties include the current and certain past owners and operators of a facility where there is or has been a release or threat of release of a Hazardous Substance and persons who disposed of or arranged for the disposal of the Hazardous Substances found at such a facility. CERCLA also authorizes the EPA and, in some cases, third parties to take action in response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek to recover from the potentially responsible parties the costs of such action.  Mining operations on War Eagle Mountain may generate wastes that fall within CERCLA's definition of Hazardous Substances, and predecessor mining companies on our properties may have generated wastes that fall within CERCLA's definition of Hazardous Substances.

Air Emissions.  Mining operations on War Eagle Mountain may be subject to local, state and federal regulations for the control of emissions of air pollution. Major sources of air pollutants are subject to more stringent, federally imposed permitting requirements, including additional permits. If ozone problems are not resolved by the deadlines imposed by the federal Clean Air Act, or on schedule to meet the standards, even more restrictive requirements may be imposed, including financial penalties based upon the quantity of ozone producing emissions. If the operator of mining operations on War Eagle Mountain fails to comply strictly with applicable air pollution regulations or permits, we may be subject to monetary fines and be required to correct any identified deficiencies. Alternatively, regulatory agencies could require us to forego construction, modification or operation of certain air emission sources.

We believe that we are in substantial compliance with current applicable environmental laws and regulations and that, absent the occurrence of an extraordinary event, compliance with existing local, state, federal and international laws, rules and regulations governing the release of materials in the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment will not have a material effect upon our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Research and Development Expenditures

We have not incurred any research or development expenditures in the last two fiscal years.

Patents and Trademarks

We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.

Employees and Consultants

At December 31, 2010, we had 21 employees.

We have no collective bargaining agreements with our employees, and believe all consulting and employment agreements relationships are satisfactory.  We hire independent contractors on an as- needed basis, and we may retain additional employees and consultants during the next twelve months, including additional executive management personnel with substantial experience in the mining exploration and development business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

We Have Minimal Revenue To Date From Our Mining Properties, Which May Negatively Impact Our Ability To Achieve Our Business Objectives.

Since entering into the lease with GoldLand in October 2007, we have experienced losses from our operations.  We began processing tailings left over from prior mining activities in June 2010, and shipped our first load of concentrate to a refiner in late 2010, for which we received a small amount of revenues.     We have moved a significant quantity of tailings to our milling site to continue processing tailings through the winter.  We are currently stockpiling our concentrate, rather than shipping it to a refiner, while we finish building our own smelting operation. Our ability to become profitable will be dependent on the receipt of revenues from our mining properties being greater than our operational expenses.  We need to raise capital to finance the purchase and installation of mining equipment, to complete a survey of War Eagle Mountain, the construction of our smelting operation, and for working capital in order to finance the processing of tailings while we construct our smelter.  Until we receive material revenues from our mining operations, we are dependent on our convertible note offering to provide funds for operations, the deferral of salaries by our officers and loans from our officers to pay routine administrative expenses, and the willingness of business parties and consultants to accept our common shares as payment.  If we cannot generate sufficient revenues from our mining operations, we may never become profitable.

The Properties In Which We Have An Interest Do Not Have Any Known Reserves.

None of the properties in which we have an interest have any reserves. To date, we have engaged in only limited preliminary exploration activities on the properties. Accordingly, we do not have sufficient information upon which to assess the ultimate success of our exploration efforts. If we do not establish reserves, we may be required to curtail or suspend our operations, in which case the market value of our common stock may decline, and you may lose all or a portion of your investment.

We Have a Limited Operating History as a Mining Company, Which Makes It Hard To Evaluate Our Prospects.



13



We have only a limited operating history as a mining company upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects.  To date, our operations have consisted of transporting tailings left from prior mining activities to our mill site, and processing some of the tailings into concentrate.  We recently hired a president who has substantial experience running mining operations for other companies, but the remaining members of our management do not have any prior training or experience in minerals exploration or mining.  We do not have an established history of locating and developing properties that have mining reserves.  As a result, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven.  In addition, because of our limited operating history, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business, and we may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working in the industry. We may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends and will be subject to the risks, uncertainties and difficulties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in evolving markets such as ours.  We may also make decisions and choices that do not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral exploration companies commonly use.  We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks and uncertainties.  Our operations, earnings, and ultimate financial success could suffer due to our management's relative lack of experience in this industry.  

Our Ability To Become Profitable Is Subject To Our Success in the Mining Business, Which Is Subject To Typical Risks In The Mining Business

Our ability to become profitable is subject to the economic risks typically associated with mineral extraction and processing business, including the necessity of making significant expenditures to mine properties and to test potential reserves.  The availability of mining and transportation equipment and the cost of actual mining operations is often uncertain.  In conducting mining activities, the presence of unanticipated irregularities in formations, miscalculations or accidents may cause exploration, development and, if warranted, production activities to be unsuccessful. This could result in a total loss of our investment.  

Shareholders May Suffer Dilution From the Issuance of Common Stock and Convertible Notes To Finance Our Operations

Since we decided to enter the mining business, we have financed the development of our mining operations through the issuance of common stock for services or the issuance of convertible notes for cash.  The amount of common stock and convertible notes that have been issued in the last two years has resulted in substantial dilution to shareholders.  For example, at December 31, 2008, we had outstanding 97,843,962 shares of common stock, of which 49,572,217 shares had been issued in 2008 largely for services, rent and the conversion of notes.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, we issued an additional 71,986,613 shares, largely for services, rent and acquisitions.  During the year ended December 31, 2010, we issued an additional 116,756,429 shares, largely for services, rent and the conversion of notes.  In addition, at December 31, 2010, we had $2,236,967 in convertible notes outstanding which were convertible into an additional 31,036,265 shares of common stock.  

We have recently entered into an equity line of credit with Centurion Private Equity, LLC, under which we are entitled to raise up to $7.2 million from the sale of our shares to Centurion over a 24 month period. Centurion is obligated to purchase our shares pursuant to put notices that we send from time to time at a purchase price equal to 97% of the market price of our common stock, as defined in the agreement.  In order to draw under the equity line of credit, we must first file and obtain approval of a registration statement covering all shares issuable under the equity line of credit.  The issuance of shares under the equity line of credit could result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders.



14



We expect that we will need to continue issuing shares of common stock for services and convertible notes in order to finance the development of our mining operations until our mining operations become self-sustaining.  The future issuance of shares or convertibles will result in additional dilution to existing shareholders which may be substantial.

We Need Additional Capital To Finance Our Mining Operations And We Expect To Obtain It On Terms That Dilute Existing Shareholders

We still need to raise approximately $7,000,000 in additional capital to finance initial operations at our mining site, which will consist of core drilling in the sinker tunnel to build a 3-D picture of Ware Eagle Mountain and to prepare a Section 43-101 report to validate our proven reserves.  The prior issuance of shares and convertible notes to finance our mining operations has resulted in substantial dilution to shareholders and we expect the future issuance of shares and convertible notes will result in additional, substantial dilution to existing shareholders.

We Have A Very Small Management Team And The Loss Of Any Member Of This Team May Prevent Us From Implementing Our Business Plan In A Timely Manner; Some Members of Our Management Have Substantial Outside Business Interests.

We have five executive officers and a limited number of additional consultants.  Our success depends largely upon the continuing services of our executive officers.  We need additional executive personnel in order to fulfill our business plan and satisfy our reporting obligations as a public company in a timely fashion.  We do not maintain key person life insurance policies on the lives of any of our officers. The loss of any of our officers could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.  In such an event, we may not be able to recruit personnel to replace our officers in a timely manner, or at all, on acceptable terms.

Furthermore, our employment agreements with all executives permit them to have outside business interests, such that he is not required to devote 100% of his working time to our business.  Mr. Quilliam estimates that he spends about 95% of his working time on activities related to the commencement of mining operations on War Eagle Mountain through GoldLand and us.  Roger Schammell, Chrisian Quilliam and Thomas Ridenour all spend about 90% of their working time on activities related to the commencement of mining operations on War Eagle Mountain through GoldLand and us.  The fact that our executives have outside business interests could lessen their focus on our business.  

Our Officers And Directors Have Voting Control Over Us, And Outside Shareholders Will Have Little Voice In Management.

Pierre and Denise Quilliam currently control us by virtue of their control of the majority of our Class B Common Stock.  Each share of our Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share, while each share of our Class B Common Stock is entitled to forty (40) votes per share.  Pierre, Denise and Christian Quilliam combined control 3,504,321 shares of Class B Common Stock, which is 90.2% of the outstanding Class B Common Stock, whereas they only control 8,877,650 shares of Class A Common Stock which is 2.9% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock.  Because of the voting power of the Class B Common Stock, Mr. and Ms. Quilliam control 32.4% of the possible votes on any matter that must be approved by shareholders, which is likely sufficient to control the outcome of any shareholder vote.    



15



Our Directors Have A Material Conflict of Interest With Respect To Our Mining Lease With GoldLand.

Our mining operations are based upon a lease of GoldLand’s mining rights on War Eagle Mountain.  Four of our seven directors, Pierre Quilliam, Denise Quilliam, Christian Quilliam and Allan Breitkreuz, are the sole directors of GoldLand.  In addition, Denise Quilliam, is the spouse of Pierre Quilliam and Christian Quilliam is the son of Pierre Quilliam, and therefore are not disinterested in matters pertaining to GoldLand either.  

Our Directors Have A Material Conflict of Interest With Respect To A Royalty Interest In The Sinker Tunnel.

One of our directors, Pierre Quilliam, controls an entity that owns a 7.5% royalty in the Sinker Tunnel.  Under the royalty, we are obligated to pay two entities, one of which is controlled by Mr. Quilliam, an aggregate royalty of 15% of the net smelter return or net refinery return of any ore which originates, terminates or was gained access through the Sinker Tunnel or the grounds of the Sinker Tunnel complex.  As a result, Mr. Quilliam’s financial interest in our use of the Sinker Tunnel may cause him to favor use of the Sinker Tunnel to extract ore from War Eagle Mountain over alternative methods that might be more cost effective.  

We Have Substantial Commitments That Require That We Raise Capital.

As of December 31, 2010, we had $61,530 of cash, current assets of $414,441, current liabilities of $1,221,784, and a working capital deficit of ($807,343).  A substantial part of our current liabilities consist of debts that we only have to pay if funds are available, such as accrued compensation to our officers of $727,633.  However, we have $200,930 of accounts payable to third parties, and $237,500 of note payments due in the next year.  In addition, we have an additional $2,179,481 of notes payable due in more than one year.  We expect that we will be able to pay our liabilities in the normal course of business from cash flow from mining operations if we are able to commence operations on schedule and our mining operations meet our profit expectations.  If we are not able to commence operations on schedule, or if our operations are not as profitable as we expect, we will have to raise additional capital in order to pay our liabilities, which we expect would be dilutive to existing shareholders.

The Mining Industry Historically Is A Cyclical Industry And Market Fluctuations In The Prices Of Minerals Could Adversely Affect Our Business.

Prices for minerals tend to fluctuate significantly in response to factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:

·

weather conditions in the United States and elsewhere;

·

economic conditions in the United States and elsewhere;

·

political instability in Africa and other major mineral producing regions;

·

governmental regulations, both domestic and foreign;

·

domestic and foreign tax policy;



16



·

the pace adopted by foreign governments for the exploration, development, and production of their national reserves;

·

the price of foreign imports of minerals;

·

the cost of exploring for, producing and processing raw mineral ore;

·

the rate of decline of existing and new mineral reserves;

·

available transportation capacity;

·

the ability of mineral extraction companies to raise capital;

·

the overall supply and demand for minerals; and

Changes in commodity prices may significantly affect our capital resources, liquidity and expected operating results. Price changes will directly affect revenues and can indirectly impact expected production by changing the amount of funds available to reinvest in exploration and development activities.  Reductions in mineral prices not only reduce revenues and profits, but could also reduce the quantities of reserves that are commercially recoverable. Significant declines in prices could result in non-cash charges to earnings due to impairment.  We do not currently engage in any hedging program to mitigate our exposure to fluctuations in mineral prices.

Changes in commodity prices may also significantly affect our ability to estimate the value of producing properties for acquisition and divestiture and often cause disruption in the market for mineral properties, as buyers and sellers have difficulty agreeing on the value of the properties.  Price volatility also makes it difficult to budget for and project the return on acquisitions and the development and exploitation of projects. We expect that commodity prices will continue to fluctuate significantly in the future.

If We Fail To Maintain Adequate Insurance, Our Business Could Be Materially And Adversely Affected.

Our operations are subject to risks typical of the mining industry, such as mine collapses, flooding, explosions, fires, pollution, earthquakes and other environmental risks. These risks could result in substantial losses due to injury and loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution and other environmental damage, and suspension of operations. We could be liable for environmental damages caused by previous property owners. As a result, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred, the payment of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.  We currently carry general liability and worker’s compensation insurance, but we do not carry insurance against environmental claims.  We consider our coverage adequate for our current operations.  We expect to increase our insurance coverage when we begin mining ore from the interior of War Eagle Mountain.

Complying With Environmental And Other Government Regulations Could Be Costly And Could Negatively Impact Our Production, Which Would Adversely Impact Our Royalty Revenues.

The mining business is governed by numerous laws and regulations at various levels of government. These laws and regulations govern the operation and maintenance of any facilities on War Eagle Mountain, the discharge of materials into the environment and other environmental protection issues.



17



Such laws and regulations may, among other potential consequences, require that any operator of mining operations on War Eagle Mountain acquire permits before commencing operations and restrict the substances that can be released into the environment with mining and production activities.

Under our lease of War Eagle Mountain, we are primarily responsible for compliance with all laws and regulations applicable to the mining operations, and our failure to comply could result in damages or claims for personal injury, clean-up costs and other environmental and property damages, as well as administrative, civil and criminal penalties.  We do not currently carry insurance coverage for sudden and accidental environmental damages as well as environmental damage that occurs over time.  While we do not believe we need environmental insurance based on our current operations, we will reconsider our decision to not have environmental coverage prior to the time we begin to mine raw ore from the interior of War Eagle Mountain. However, we do not believe that insurance coverage for the full potential liability of environmental damages is available at a reasonable cost, and therefore there is a good possibility that we will not procure insurance for environmental liabilities .  Accordingly, we could be liable, or could be required to cease production on properties, if environmental damage occurs.

The costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations in the future may harm our business. Furthermore, future changes in environmental laws and regulations could occur that result in stricter standards and enforcement, larger fines and liability, and increased capital expenditures and operating costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Our Common Stock is Subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the Trading Market in Our Securities is Limited, Which Makes Transactions in Our Stock Cumbersome and May Reduce the Value of an Investment in Our Stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:

·

that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and

·

the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

·

obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and

·

make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

·

sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and



18



·

that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

We Will Incur Significant Costs As A Result Of Operating As A Public Company. We May Not Have Sufficient Personnel For Our Financial Reporting Responsibilities, Which May Result In The Untimely Close Of Our Books And Record And Delays In The Preparation Of Financial Statements And Related Disclosures.

As a registered public company, we experienced an increase in legal, accounting and other expenses. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, has imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices.  Our management and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives.  Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identifies additional deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of our stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the SEC and other regulatory authorities.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

A description of our mining properties is included in Item 1. Description of Business and is incorporated herein by reference.

We have purchased a 20 acres site in Owyhee County at the foot of War Eagle Mountain for an amount of $250,000 payable as follows; $25,000 at purchase and $22,500 per year for the next ten years interest free. We have offices on site and a milling complex suitable for the present planned production.

We also lease office space at 1385 Broadway, New York, under a lease that runs from October 1, 2008 to September 30, 2011 at a rate of $3,060 per month.  Under the lease, we issued the lessor 1,250,000 shares of our common stock valued at $110,160 at the inception of the lease as payment of rent for the entire lease term.



19



We also lease office space at 2520 Manatee Ave. W. Suite #200, Bradenton, FL 34205, which we share with GoldLand Holdings, Co., under a lease that runs from August 8, 2010 to August 1, 2013 at a rate of $1,065 per month for the first 12 months and $1,095 per month for the second 12 months and $1,187.40 for the third 12 months. We share the cost of the lease with GoldLand Holdings, Co. equally.

We also lease office space at 641-2 Chrislea Road, Woodbridge, Ontario Canada, under a lease that runs from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2011 at a rate of $400 per month.  We assumed this lease in March 2010.  Under the lease, we issued the lessor 480,000 shares of our common stock valued at $9,600 at the time we assumed the lease as payment of rent for the entire lease term.

We believe that we have satisfactory title to the properties owned and used in our business, subject to liens for taxes not yet payable, liens incident to minor encumbrances, liens for credit arrangements and easements and restrictions that do not materially detract from the value of these properties, our interests in these properties, or the use of these properties in our business. We believe that our properties are adequate and suitable for us to conduct business in the future.

There were 131 shareholders of record of the common stock as of December 31, 2010. This number does not include an indeterminate number of shareholders whose shares are held by brokers in “street name.”  

Our common stock is subject to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") regulating broker dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Those disclosure rules applicable to "penny stocks"



20



require a broker dealer, prior to a transaction in a "penny stock" not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized disclosure document prepared by the Commission. That disclosure document advises an investor that investment in "penny stocks" can be very risky and that the investor's salesperson or broker is not an impartial advisor, but rather paid to sell the shares. The disclosure contains further warnings for the investor to exercise caution in connection with an investment in "penny stocks," to independently investigate the security, as well as the salesperson the investor is working with and to understand the risky nature of an investment in this security. The broker dealer must also provide the customer with certain other information and must make a special written determination that the "penny stock" is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. Further, the rules require that, following the proposed transaction, the broker provide the customer with monthly account statements containing market information about the prices of the securities.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. Many brokers may be unwilling to engage in transactions in our common stock because of the added disclosure requirements, thereby making it more difficult for stockholders to dispose of their shares.

Dividend Policy

We have not declared any cash dividends on our Common Stock during our fiscal years ended on December 31, 2010 or 2009.  Our Board of Directors has made no determination to date to declare cash dividends during the foreseeable future, but is not likely to do so.  There are no restrictions on our ability to pay dividends.

Securities Issued in Unregistered Transactions

During the quarter ended December 31, 2010, we issued securities in the following unregistered transactions:

·

We issued a total of $768,700 in two year notes payable.  Interest accrues on the notes at the rate of 7% per year, and is payable monthly, except for notes issued to New Vision Financial, Ltd., which provide that interest is payable annually.  Principal and interest due on the notes is convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock at the election of the holder at conversion prices ranging from $0.12 to $0.25 per share.

·

We issued 43,641,549 shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of $2,449,065 of convertible notes payable.

·

We issued 4,491,414 shares of Class A Common Stock to eight different parties for services valued at $250,727.

All securities were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, during the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

Overview



22



On September 14, 2007, GoldLand acquired an interest in 174.82 acres of land on War Eagle Mountain, consisting of a 100% interest in 103 acres, and a 29.166% interest in 71.82 acres.  GoldLand also has five placer claims on War Eagle Mountain from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, each of which covers approximately 20 acres, or approximately 100 acres in total.

On October 11, 2007, GoldLand leased its mineral rights on War Eagle Mountain to us.  Under the lease, we are responsible for all mining activities on War Eagle Mountain, and we are obligated to pay GoldLand annual lease payments of $1,000,000, payable on a monthly basis, a monthly non-accountable expense reimbursement of $10,000 during any month in which ore is mined from the leased premises, and a royalty of 15% of all amounts we receive from the processing of ore mined from the properties.  The lease, as amended, provides that lease payments must commence July 1, 2010.  Effective November 1, 2010, GoldLand agreed to allow us to defer lease payments until December 31, 2011, and to extend the lease term by fourteen months.  

We began actual operations in May 2010.  Initially, as described below, actual operations consists of processing dump material left on the mine site from prior mining operations.  Later, after we complete a confirmation program to prove up and locate reserves on our property, and make further capital improvements to the mine site, we plan to begin mining and processing raw ore.

On September 21, 2008, we acquired from Mineral Extraction, Inc. all mineral, mining and access rights to two mining claims on War Eagle Mountain, covering 18.877 total acres, as well as claims for four mill site locations and the Sinker Tunnel location.

Our plan to develop our mining properties into an active mine will take place in three phases.

Start-up Phase

Our initial phase involved completing construction of a mill, and using the mill to process tailings left over from prior mining operations.  We were successful in our negotiations to purchase a parcel of land about half way between Highway 78 and the Sinker Tunnel entrance where we have constructed our mill.  We closed on the purchase of this site in December 2009.  We have purchased all of the milling equipment we need, which is currently installed and operating in Murphy, Idaho.  As the mill is up and running, we plan to haul sufficient dump material, leftover from 6 prior mill sites on the mountain, during the summer months, to our mill site for processing during the summer and winter.  Our testing indicates that, as a result of milling techniques used in the 1800’s which failed to extract all of the gold and silver from the ore, there are sufficient quantities of gold and silver remaining in the dump material to justify further processing.  We elected to build the mill on private property that we own, rather than BLM property, because of lower reclamation costs, even though the offsite property will entail higher transportation costs.

We report that the installation and startup of the mill and the working capital to begin transport of ore to the mill for processing has necessitated an investment of approximately $3.46 million, as follows:

·

The purchase and the preparation of property for mill use cost about $549,375;

·

The installation and certification of the mill cost about $517,283;

·

Completing the purchase mill equipment cost about $1,617,368;



23



·

Moving ore to stockpile at the mill in 2010 cost about $352,911;  

·

Start-up mill salaries to the end of 2010 cost $425,238, and are estimated to be an additional $300,000 until June 2011 when our smelter is due to be completed and we begin receiving revenues from our production.

We believe that we have sufficient capital to finance this phase of development.  

We closed on the purchase of our mill site in early December 2009, and have begun processing tailings in May of 2010.  Since the closing, we have made improvements to the road to the mill site, located an office on the property, removed the topsoil from an area of the mill site where our tailings are stacked and drilled a water well, erected a mill building with ancillary structures and fenced off the area. We were able to move a sufficient amount of tailings, for the winter's production, to the mill site before the roads became impassable on the mountain.  We have sufficient tailings to process through the winter, and will be hauling from the mountain as soon as the spring thaw is over when the roads become passable again.

In 2010, the roads to the Sinker Tunnel Complex were upgraded to allow 25-ton trucks access to the site, and an area 300x400 feet was prepared to act as a staging area at the 5,200 foot level. The Sinker Tunnel was aerated in its entire length and the entrance to the Sinker Tunnel was permanently extended to avoid land or snow slides to block access to the Sinker Tunnel. Permanent drainage pipes are being laid in the tunnel as it was determined that the Sinker Tunnel is the main drain for the War Eagle complex. Mining and shoring or rock bolting of some weak points in the top wall is underway. Permitting for exploration of the Sinker Tunnel is underway with training for underground personnel and safety measures being installed as per the latest mining rules and regulations.

Confirmation Phase

During 2010, we substantially revised the scope and cost of our confirmation phase.  Our confirmation phrase refers to a program to prove up and locate reserves on our property. We need to obtain a satisfactory estimate of the remaining reserves on the property and their location in order to develop a comprehensive plan for the full development of the mine site.  The program will involve building a three dimensional map of War Eagle Mountain showing the precise location of veins, shafts and tunnels.  Through exploratory drilling and core sampling, we hope to obtain as much information as possible about the location, thickness and quality of the vein systems near the main shafts, and later throughout the entire mountain.  The map will be a valuable tool in analyzing the extent of the remaining reserves, mineralization trends, and other pertinent geological and mining information.  The most significant change to the confirmation phase contemplates a more comprehensive set of core samples, both from the surface of the mountain and from the inside of the mountain using the Sinker Tunnel, and associated costs, including locating drilling equipment at the site, and logistical costs for the crew, such as vehicles, meals, shelter on the mountain, and accommodations for a geologist, field technician and drill crew.  We decided to expand the scope of the confirmation phase in order to obtain a National Instrument 43-101, which is a report developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators for mining companies.  A National Instrument 43-101 is necessary for listing our common stock on any exchange overseen by the Canadian Securities Authority, including the Toronto Stock Exchange.

We have recently hired Mr. Roger Scammell, a geologist with many years of experience in the mining industry, as our President.  Mr. Scammell and Engineering Northwest, Inc., a surveying firm, will perform the confirmation phase.  Under the direction of our new president, the drillers and surveyors will perform their services with the help of Mr. William Earll, our general manager for our Idaho operations.



24



Another aspect of the confirmation phase will involve the development of a plan to use the Sinker Tunnel to mine the interior of the mountain on a year round basis.  The plan will involve accessing and draining the mine shafts on the top of the mountain from the Sinker Tunnel, as well as relocating and collaring old shafts on the mountain.  We estimate that the confirmation phase will take about 18 months, and will cost approximately $7,000,000.  We began preliminary work on the confirmation phase in mid-2010.

Development Phase

The development phase involves transitioning the mine from processing tailings leftover from prior mining activities to extracting and processing raw ore from the mountain.  We believe that full scale mining of raw ore will be profitable. In particular, historical records of mining on the site, and subsequent reports of the geology of the mountain, indicate that veins containing gold and silver extend much further vertically than could be mined when the site was last mined in the 1880’s.  In addition, historical records indicate that gold and silver exists in the veins in sufficient densities to warrant mining using modern extraction and milling techniques.  The scope of the development phase will depend on the outcome of the Confirmation Phase, which is designed to test the accuracy of our analysis.  Our goal is to develop a drilling program that reaches as many reserves as possible at the lowest cost.  Among the improvements to the mine site that we anticipate making in the development phase are:

·

We plan to connect the mine shafts on the top of the mountain to the Sinker Tunnel in order to provide drainage to those shafts;

·

We plan to install a transportation system in the Sinker Tunnel (either tire mounted trams, narrow gauge railway, or conveyor system) to move ore out of the Sinker Tunnel for transport to our mill site; and

·

Additional improvements include housing, storage, food preparation facilities, generators for power, etc.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we started (and have since completed) some improvements to the mine site that were previously part of our development phase, including improving about four miles of the county road linking State Route 78 with Silver City, 1.8 miles of access road to the Sinker Tunnel Complex from the county road, and about 1.6 miles of access road to the Oro Fino vein outcrop area to permit heavier loads and year round access, as well improvements to the physical facilities at the milling location site and mine site to accommodate our workers.  

We estimate that the improvements during the development phase will cost about $6 million, and will take 14 to 18 months to complete.

Our revenue, profitability, and future growth rate depend substantially on factors beyond our control, including our success in the commencement of mining operations, as well as economic, political, and regulatory developments and fluctuations in the market prices of minerals processed from ore derived from our mining operations.

Results of Operations

Fiscal Years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009



25



We are in the exploration stage and generated revenues of $8,234 in the year ended December 31, 2010 and no revenues in the year ended December 31, 2009.  Our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2010 are not representative of our revenues in the future.  In May 2010, we began processing tailings from our mine site at our mill.  We plan to process the tailings into concentrate, which would then be shipped for final processing to a smelter, which would either then either return the material to us in the form of dore bars or pay us a market price for the minerals ultimately extracted from the concentrate.  In October 2010, we shipped our first load of concentrate to a smelter.  We have held up on shipments of concentrate while we investigate the feasibility of constructing our own refining operations.

We reported losses from operations during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 of ($9,330,619) and ($3,174,484), respectively.  The increase in loss in 2010 as compared to 2009 was largely attributable to the following factors:

·

Consulting fees increased $2,729,836 from $1,900,149 in 2009 to $4,629,985 in 2010 as a result of increased use of consultants in connection with our efforts to commence mining operations on War Eagle Mountain.  The material components of expenses charged to consulting services in both years were as follows:

·

General and administrative expenses decreased to $723,616 in 2010 as compared to $732,249 in 2009

·

We reported net losses during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 of ($9,574,016) and ($3,294,256), respectively.  The increased loss in 2010 as compared to 2009 was largely attributable to increased loss from operations and increased interest expense resulting from higher interest-bearing debt in 2010 as compared to 2009.  In particular, interest expense increased from $119,772 in 2009 to $243,397 in 2010.

Comparison of 2009 and 2010

In the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we financed our operations primarily through the issuance of convertible notes and the issuance of common stock for services.

Operating activities used ($1,028,237) of cash in 2010, as compared to ($380,895) of cash in 2009.  Major non-cash items that affected our cash flow from operations in 2009 were non-cash charges of $141,536 for depreciation and amortization, $1,974,096 for the value of common stock issued for compensation, and $282,750 for the value of common stock issued for rent.  Our operating assets and liabilities supplied $501,929 of cash, most of which resulted from an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $115,872, an increase in accrued payroll of $167,000, and an increase in prepaid expenses of $109,959.

Major non-cash items that affected our cash flow from operations in 2010 were non-cash charges of $235,646 for depreciation and amortization, $7,026,968 for the value of common stock issued for compensation, $469,220 for the value of common stock issued for rent, and $1,163,542 for the value of stock options and warrants issued for compensatory purposes.  Our operating assets and liabilities used ($399,598) of cash, most of which resulted from an increase in inventories of ($352,911), a reduction of prepaid expenses of ($383,942), and a reduction of accounts payable and accrued expenses of ($56,012), offset by an increase in accrued payroll of $340,810.

Investing activities used ($1,380,684) of cash in 2010, as compared to ($603,526) of cash in 2009.  The significant increase in cash used in investing activities was attributable to materially greater expenditures for equipment used to construct our mill, as well as improvements to our mining property.  

Financing activities supplied $2,469,849 of cash in 2010 as compared to $985,023 of cash in 2009.  Substantially all of the cash supplied in both years derived from the issuance of notes, net of sums spent to repay notes.  In 2010, we issued $2,602,686 in notes, as compared to 2009 when we issued $1,060,400 of notes.

Liquidity

Our balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 reflects cash of $61,530, current assets of $414,441, current liabilities of $1,331,151, and a working capital deficit of ($916,710).

 



27



We will need substantial capital over the next year.  We project that we will need about $300,000 of capital until we begin receiving steady revenues from the processing of tailings at our mine site, about $5,000,000 to complete a confirmation process, excluding the cost of drafting and completing a 43-101 report, and another $6,000,000 to commence processing raw ore.  In addition, we financed a lot of prior activities by the issuance of convertible notes that mature two years after their issuance.  In particular, as of December 31, 2010, we had outstanding $2,236,967 in notes payable, of which $215,000 is due within one year of that date.  Also, beginning January 1, 2012, we are obligated to make monthly payments of $83,333 to GoldLand under our lease of its mining interests on War Eagle Mountain.  

We have recently entered into an equity line of credit with Centurion Private Equity, LLC, under which we are entitled to raise up to $7.2 million from the sale of our shares to Centurion over a 24 month period. Centurion is obligated to purchase our shares pursuant to put notices that we send from time to time at a purchase price equal to 97% of the market price of our common stock, as defined in the agreement.  In order to draw under the equity line of credit, we must first file and obtain approval of a registration statement covering all shares issuable under the equity line of credit.  The issuance of shares under the equity line of credit could result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders. This financing will enable us to commence the confirmation phase of our business plan, which is the prove up of reserves on our property

The amount of capital that we currently have the capacity to raise is not sufficient to pay all of the capital expenses that we need to pay to commence operations, and pay our other liabilities as they come due.  However, we have a number of options that we believe will enable us to continue with our business plan despite insufficient capital.  For example, we plan to continue deferring payment of salaries to our management, certain accounts payable, and monthly lease payments to GoldLand, because in each case we do not expect the creditor to take any legal action against us as a result of the deferral.  GoldLand, for example, is controlled by our officers, and therefore we do not expect GoldLand to take any legal action as a result of our deferral of lease payments to it.  We also plan to continue issuing shares to certain service providers that are willing to accept shares for payment.  In the event we are able to raise some, but not all, of the capital that we need, we plan to request that note holders extend the maturity of their notes or convert their notes into shares of common stock.

Going Concern

Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we incurred a net operating loss in the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and have minimal revenues for 2010 and no revenues for 2009.  These factors create an uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern.  We are currently trying to raise capital through a private offering of preferred stock.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the success of this plan.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 



28



Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements. At this time, we are not required to make any material estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. However, as we begin actual mining operations, we will be required to make estimates and assumptions typical of other companies in the mining business.  

For example, we will be required to make critical accounting estimates related to future metals prices, obligations for environmental, reclamation, and closure matters, mineral reserves, and accounting for business combinations.  The estimates will require us to rely upon assumptions that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimates are made, and changes in them are reasonably likely to occur from period to period.  Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements in the future.

Our estimates will be based on our experience and our interpretation of economic, political, regulatory, and other factors that affect our business prospects. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES OF MARKET RISK.

Because we are a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information called for by this Item.

ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

The financial statements required by Article 8 of Regulation S-X are attached hereto as Exhibit A.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2010, there has not been any change in accountants, or any disagreement on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures or auditing scope or procedure with our auditors.  In January 2009, we retained W.T. Uniack & Co. CPA's P.C. as our independent auditor.  Prior to the retention of W.T. Uniack & Co. CPA's P.C., we had not had an independent auditor since our formation on October 15, 2007.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Remediation Initiatives

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Pierre Quilliam, our chief executive officer, and Thomas C. Ridenour, our chief financial officer, are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures.  Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in those reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2010.  Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the evaluation date, such controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in internal controls

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for the assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.  As defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and implemented by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

·

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

·

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and

·

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As of December 31, 2010 we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer (our principle executive officer), our chief operating officer and our chief financial officer (also our principal financial and accounting officer) of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or the COSO Framework.  Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of those controls.  

A material weakness is defined within the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's Auditing Standard No. 5 as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.  Based upon this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Related Party Transactions

On October 11, 2007, GoldLand leased its mineral rights on War Eagle Mountain to us.  Under the lease, we are responsible for all mining activities on War Eagle Mountain, and we are obligated to pay GoldLand annual lease payments of $1,000,000, payable on a monthly basis, a monthly non-accountable expense reimbursement of $10,000 during any month in which ore is mined from the leased premises, and a royalty of 15% of all amounts we receive from the processing of ore mined from the properties.  The lease, as amended, provides that lease payments must commence July 1, 2010.

On the first quarter of 2011, we amended the above-described lease with GoldLand.  The amendment provided that the annual lease payments would be deferred for a fifteen month period from October 2010 to December 2011, and the term of the Lease would be extended for an equal amount of time.  We remain obligated to pay any royalties or the nonaccountable fee that accrues during the deferral period.  All of the officers and directors of GoldLand are also officers and directors of us.

Under an agreement dated July 14, 2006 entered into by a prior owner of the Sinker Tunnel location, we are obligated to pay Bisell Investments, Inc. (“Bisell”) and New Vision Financial, Ltd. (“New Vision”) a total of 15% of the net smelter return or net refinery return of any ore which originates, terminates or was gained access through the Sinker Tunnel or the grounds of the Sinker Tunnel complex.

As of December 31, 2009, GoldLand owed us $69,499.  As of December 31, 2010, we owed GoldLand $6,000.  The amounts are non-interest bearing, unsecured demand loans.



43



Pierre Quilliam has made loans to us from time to time.  The loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured demand loans.  The amount outstanding to Mr. Quilliam at December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010 was $102,660 and $323, respectively. The loans represent amounts paid by Mr. Quilliam on our behalf for expenses relating to our reorganization in 2007 and our entry into the mining business in Idaho.

During 2010 we issued 698,073 of Class A Common Stock to Q-Prompt, Inc. for computer services valued at $71,770 in various transactions.  During 2009 we issued 773,448 of Class A Common Stock to Q-Prompt, Inc. for computer services valued at $25,232. Q-Prompt, Inc. is owned by Christian Quilliam, who is the son of Mr. and Ms. Quilliam. In 2010, we issued 1,746,875 shares of Class B Common Stock to Christian Quilliam as a signing bonus when he was hired as our chief operating officer.   

During 2010 we issued 301,174 of Class A Common Stock to Pascale Tutt for shareholder relations and property due diligence valued at $34,862.  Ms. Tutt is the daughter of Mr. and Ms. Quilliam.  In 2011, we have issued an additional 38,290 shares of Class A Common Stock to Ms. Tutt for mineral claims administration.

In 2009, we had paid $17,500 in taxes owed by Mr. Quilliam, which were incurred in connection with his role as officer of Dicut, our former corporate parent.

From 2007 to 2010, we have issued various notes to investors to raise capital.  The notes have a term of two years, bear interest at 7% per annum payable monthly, and are convertible into Class A Common Stock at the market price on the date of issuance of the note.  Erna Breitkreuz, the mother of Allan Breitkreuz, has purchased $154,000 of convertible notes in the offering.  Sherrie Breitkreuz, the sister of Allan Breitkreuz, has purchased $13,000 of convertible notes in the offering.

Pierre Quilliam is a considered a promoter of our entry into the mining business in Idaho.  Mr. Quilliam has not personally received anything of value from us in connection with acting as a promoter except an employment agreement.  In addition to his employment agreement with us, Mr. Quilliam will benefit indirectly from our entry into the mining business because it will give us the ability to repay amounts that we owe Mr. Quilliam for expenses he has advanced on our behalf.  

Mr. Quilliam will also benefit indirectly by virtue of his employment with, and ownership interest in, GoldLand.  In connection with our entry into the mining business, we entered into a lease agreement with GoldLand, under which we are obligated to pay GoldLand lease payments of $1,000,000 per year payable on a monthly basis, a nonaccountable expense allowance of $10,000 per month for any month in which ore is mined from the property, and a royalty of 15% from any proceeds we receive from a smelter of ore produced from land.  Mr. Quilliam and Denise Quilliam, his wife, own 35.5% of the outstanding common stock of GoldLand. Mr. Quilliam has an employment agreement with GoldLand that entitles him to a base salary of $125,000 per year, and Ms. Quilliam has an employment agreement with GoldLand that entitles her to a salary of $42,500 per year.  GoldLand has not actually paid Mr. Quilliam’s salary, bonus or expense reimbursement yet.  Presently, GoldLand’s only source of revenue is payments under the lease with us, and therefore Mr. Quilliam ability to receive payment from GoldLand is dependent on our ability to make lease payments to GoldLand.

Mr. Quilliam will also benefit to the extent we use the Sinker Tunnel to mine ore, because Bisell is entitled to a royalty on all ore mined using the Sinker Tunnel.   Specifically, Bisell owns 50% of a royalty under which we are obligated to pay 15% of the net smelter return or net refinery return of any ore which originates, terminates or was gained access through the Sinker Tunnel or the grounds of the Sinker Tunnel complex.  Bisell acquired its royalty rights in the Sinker Tunnel from



44



Laoshan Group, LLC under an agreement dated July 27, 2007 in consideration for 400,000 shares each of our common stock owned by Bisell.

GoldLand acquired its mining rights on War Eagle Mountain shortly before it leased those rights to us in October 2007.  GoldLand acquired those rights by issuing 45,000,000 of its common shares each to Bisell and New Vision.  Mr. Quilliam controls Bisell.  Shortly before GoldLand acquired the mining rights from Bisell and New Vision, Bisell and New Vision acquired the mining rights from an unrelated third party by conveying the unrelated party 7,500,000 shares of GoldLand common stock that each owned GoldLand at the time.

Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions

The board of directors has responsibility for establishing and maintaining guidelines relating to any related party transactions between us and any of our officers or directors. Under our Code of Ethics, any conflict of interest between a director or officer and us must be referred to the non-interested directors for approval. We intend to adopt written guidelines for the board of directors which will set forth the requirements for review and approval of any related party transactions.

Director Independence

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, or the OTCBB, and the Pink Sheets.  Since neither the OTCBB nor the Pink Sheets has its own rules for director independence, we use the definition of independence established by the NYSE Amex (formerly the American Stock Exchange).  Under applicable NYSE Amex rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of our Board, that person does not have a relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

We periodically review the independence of each director. Pursuant to this review, our directors and officers, on an annual basis, are required to complete and forward to the Corporate Secretary a detailed questionnaire to determine if there are any transactions or relationships between any of the directors or officers (including immediate family and affiliates) and us. If any transactions or relationships exist, we then consider whether such transactions or relationships are inconsistent with a determination that the director is independent.  As this time, we have two independent directors, David Bommarito and Lew Georges.  Our other directors are not independent.

Conflicts Relating to Officers and Directors  

To date, we do not believe that there are any conflicts of interest involving our officers or directors, other than as disclosed above.  With respect to transactions involving real or apparent conflicts of interest, we have adopted policies and procedures which require that: (i) the fact of the relationship or interest giving rise to the potential conflict be disclosed or known to the directors who authorize or approve the transaction prior to such authorization or approval, (ii) the transaction be approved by a majority of our disinterested outside directors, and (iii) the transaction be fair and reasonable to us at the time it is authorized or approved by our directors.

ITEM 14.  PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.

 



45



In the last two fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we have retained W.T. Uniack & Co. CPA's P.C. ("Uniack") as our principal accountants.  We understand the need for our principal accountants to maintain objectivity and independence in their audit of our financial statements. To minimize relationships that could appear to impair the objectivity of our principal accountants, our board has restricted the non-audit services that our principal accountants may provide to us primarily to tax services and audit related services. We are only to obtain non-audit services from our principal accountants when the services offered by our principal accountants are more effective or economical than services available from other service providers, and, to the extent possible, only after competitive bidding.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors

Silver Falcon Mining, Inc.

(An Exploration Stage Company)


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Silver Falcon Mining, Inc. (the “Company”) (An Exploration Stage Company) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the period from October 15, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and changes in stockholders’ deficit and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the period from October 15, 2007 (inception) to December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Note 14 of the notes to the accompanying financial statements, the financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in the footnotes, the Company does not currently have any revenue is dependent on the deferral of salaries and loans from management and a shareholder to pay operating expenses.  Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SILVER FALCON MINING, INC.

(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2010 and 2009


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Silver Falcon Mining, Inc. (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) was formed in the State of Delaware on October 11th, 2007.  On October 15, 2007, we completed a holding company reorganization with Dicut, Inc. (“Dicut”) pursuant to Section 251(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.  Dicut previously operated in the information technology business, but ceased operations in 2005.

On October 11, 2007, GoldLand leased its mineral rights on War Eagle Mountain to us.  Under the lease, we are responsible for all mining activities on War Eagle Mountain, and we are obligated to pay GoldLand annual lease payments of $1,000,000, payable on a monthly basis, a monthly non-accountable expense reimbursement of $10,000 during any month in which ore is mined from the leased premises, and a royalty of 15% of all amounts we receive from the processing of ore mined from the properties.  The lease provides that lease payments must commence April 1, 2008, but by agreement with GoldLand we extended the commencement date to July 1, 2010.  On the first quarter of 2011, we amended the above-described lease with GoldLand.  The amendment provided that the annual lease payments would be deferred for a fifteen month period from October 2010 to December 2011, and the term of the Lease would be extended for an equal amount of time.  We remain obligated to pay any royalties or the nonaccountable fee that accrues during the deferral period.  

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

Sales of all metals products sold directly to smelters, including by-product metals, are recorded as revenues when title and risk of loss transfer to the smelter (generally at the time of shipment) at estimated forward prices for the estimated month of settlement.  Due to the time elapsed from shipment to the smelter and the final settlement with the smelter, we must estimate the prices at which sales of our metals will be settled. Previously recorded sales are adjusted to estimated settlement metals prices until final settlement by the smelter.  Revenue is recognized, net of treatment and refining charges, from a sale when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is determinable, the product has been delivered, the title has been transferred to the customer and collection of the sales price is reasonably assured. Concentrate sales are initially recorded based on 100% of the provisional sales prices. Until final settlement occurs, adjustments to the provisional sales prices are made to take into account the mark-to-market changes based on the forward prices for the estimated month of settlement. For changes in metal quantities upon receipt of new information and assay, the provisional sales quantities are adjusted as well. The principal risks associated with recognition of sales on a provisional basis include metal price fluctuations between the date initially recorded and the date of final settlement. If a significant decline in metal prices occurs between the provisional pricing date and the final settlement-date, it is reasonably possible that we could be required to return a portion of the sales proceeds received based on the provisional invoice.

Our sales based on a provisional sales price contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the concentrates at the forward London Metal Exchange price at the time of sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is marked to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.




F-9



Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value.

Investments

Management determines the appropriate classification of our investments in equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each reporting date. Investments in incorporated entities in which our ownership is greater than 20% and less than 50%, or which we do not control through majority ownership or means other than voting rights, are accounted for by the equity method and are included in long-term assets.  We account for our equity security investments as available for sale securities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” We periodically evaluate whether declines in fair values of our investments below our carrying value are other-than-temporary in accordance with FSP FAS 115 No. 115-1 and FAS 124-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments.” Our policy is to generally treat a decline in the investment’s quoted market value that has lasted continuously for more than six months as an other-than-temporary decline in value.  We also monitor our investments for events or changes in circumstances that have occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment and evaluates qualitative and quantitative factors regarding the severity and duration of the unrealized loss and our ability to hold the investment until a forecasted recovery occurs to determine if the decline in value of an investment is other-than-temporary. Declines in fair value below our carrying value deemed to be other-than-temporary are charged to earnings.

We account for our investments in auction rate securities in accordance with FAS No. 115. Specifically, when the underlying security of an auction rate security has a stated or contractual maturity date in excess of 90 days, regardless of the frequency of the interest rate reset date, the security is classified as an available-for-sale marketable debt security.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average costs incurred or estimated net realizable value. Major types of inventories include materials and supplies and metals product inventory, which is determined by the stage at which the ore is in the production process (stockpiled ore, work in process and finished goods).

Materials and supplies inventory are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.

Stockpiled ore inventory represents ore that has been mined, hauled to the surface, and is available for further processing. Stockpiles are measured by estimating the number of tons added and removed from the stockpile, the number of contained metal ounces or pounds (based on assay data) and the estimated metallurgical recovery rates (based on the expected processing method). Stockpile ore tonnages are verified by periodic surveys. Costs are allocated to a stockpile based on relative values of material stockpiled and processed using current mining costs incurred up to the point of stockpiling the ore, including applicable overhead, depreciation, depletion and amortization relating to mining operations, and removed at each stockpile’s average cost per recoverable unit.

Work in process inventory represents materials that are currently in the process of being converted to a saleable product and includes inventories in our milling process. In-process material is measured based on assays of the material fed into the process and the projected recoveries of the respective plants. In-process inventories are valued at the average cost of the material fed into the process attributable to the source material coming from the mines and stockpiles, plus the in-process conversion costs, including applicable depreciation relating to the process facilities incurred to that point in the process.




F-10



 

Finished goods inventory includes bullion doré and concentrates at our operations, bullion doré in transit to refiners and bullion dore in our accounts at refineries. Inventories are valued at the lower of full cost of production or net realizable value based on current metals prices.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Expenditures for new facilities or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities or equipment are capitalized and recorded at cost. The facilities and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the estimated productive lives.

Costs are capitalized when it has been determined an ore body can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves. The development stage begins at new projects when our management and/or Board of Directors makes the decision to bring a mine into commercial production, and ends when the production stage, or exploitation of reserves, begins.  Expenditures incurred during the development and production stages for new facilities, new assets or expenditures that extend the useful lives of existing facilities and major mine development expenditures are capitalized, including primary development costs such as costs of building access ways, shaft sinking, lateral development, drift development, ramps and infrastructure developments.

Costs for exploration, secondary development at operating mines, and maintenance and repairs on capitalized property, plant and equipment are charged to operations as incurred. Exploration costs include those relating to activities carried out (a) in search of previously unidentified mineral deposits, (b) at undeveloped concessions, or (c) at operating mines already containing proven and probable reserves, where a determination remains pending as to whether new target deposits outside of the existing reserve areas can be economically developed. Secondary development costs are incurred for preparation of an ore body for production in a specific ore block, stope or work area, providing a relatively short-lived benefit only to the mine area they relate to, and not to the ore body as a whole.

When assets are retired or sold, the costs and related allowances for depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in current period net income (loss). Idle facilities placed on standby basis are carried at the lower of net carrying value or estimated net realizable value.

Proven and Probable Ore Reserves 

At least annually, management reviews the reserves used to estimate the quantities and grades of ore at our mines which we believe can be recovered and sold economically.  Management’s calculations of proven and probable ore reserves are based on engineering and geological estimates, including future metals prices and operating costs. From time to time, management obtains external audits of reserves.  To date, we have not obtained any third party report regarding potential reserves on our owned and leased property at War Eagle Mountain, and accordingly we have not estimated that there are any proven or probable reserves on our property.

Reserve estimates will change as existing reserves are depleted through production and as production costs and/or metals prices change. A significant drop in metals prices may reduce reserves by making some portion of such ore uneconomic to develop and produce. Changes in reserves may also reflect that actual grades of ore processed may be different from stated reserve grades because of variation in grades in areas mined, mining dilution and other factors. Estimated reserves, particularly for properties that have not yet commenced production, may require revision based on actual production experience. It is reasonably possible that certain of our estimates of proven and probable ore reserves will change in the near term, which could result in a change to estimated future cash flows, associated carrying values of the asset and amortization rates in future reporting periods, among other things.




F-11



 

Declines in the market prices of metals, increased production or capital costs, reduction in the grade or tonnage of the deposit or an increase in the dilution of the ore or reduced recovery rates may render ore reserves uneconomic to exploit unless the utilization of forward sales contracts or other hedging techniques are sufficient to offset such effects. If our realized price for the metals we produce were to decline substantially below the levels set for calculation of reserves for an extended period, there could be material delays in the development of new projects, net losses, reduced cash flow, restatements or reductions in reserves and asset write-downs in the applicable accounting periods. Reserves should not be interpreted as assurances of mine life or of the profitability of current or future operations. No assurance can be given that the estimate of the amount of metal or the indicated level of recovery of these metals will be realized.

To date, we have not obtained any third party report regarding potential reserves on our owned and leased property at War Eagle Mountain, and accordingly we have not estimated that there are any proven or probable reserves on our property.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

Capitalized costs are depreciated or depleted using the straight-line method or unit-of-production method at rates sufficient to depreciate such costs over the shorter of estimated productive lives of such facilities or the useful life of the individual assets. Productive lives do not exceed the useful life of the individual asset. Determination of expected useful lives for amortization calculations are made on a property-by-property or asset-by-asset basis at least annually. Our estimates for mineral reserves are a key component in determining our units of production depreciation rates. Our estimates of proven and probable ore reserves may change, possibly in the near term, resulting in changes to depreciation, depletion and amortization rates in future reporting periods.

Undeveloped mineral interests are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives taking into account residual values. At such time as an undeveloped mineral interest is converted to proven and probable reserves, the remaining unamortized basis is amortized on a unit-of-production basis as described above.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review and evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  An impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets, including goodwill, if any.  An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable minerals, expected gold and other commodity prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), production levels and operating costs of production and capital, all based on life-of-mine plans. Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, including mineralization other than proven and probable reserves and other material that is not part of the measured, indicated or inferred resource base, are included when determining the fair value of mine site reporting units at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of gold or other commodities that will be obtained after taking into account losses during ore processing and treatment. Estimates of recoverable minerals from such exploration stage mineral interests are risk adjusted based on management’s relative confidence in such materials. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups.  Our estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and other commodity prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.




F-12



 

Reclamation and Remediation Costs (Asset Retirement Obligations)

At our operating properties, we accrue costs associated with environmental remediation obligations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” SFAS No. 143 requires us to record a liability for the present value of our estimated environmental remediation costs, and the related asset created with it, in the period in which the liability is incurred. The liability will be accreted and the asset will be depreciated over the life of the related assets. Adjustments for changes resulting from the passage of time and changes to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate underlying the obligation will be made.

At our non-operating properties, we accrue costs associated with environmental remediation obligations when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and they are reasonably estimable. Estimates for reclamation and other closure costs are prepared in accordance with SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies,” or Statement of Position 96-1 “Environmental Remediation Liabilities.” Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation are not discounted to their present value unless subject to a contractually obligated fixed payment schedule. Such costs are based on management’s current estimate of amounts to be incurred when the remediation work is performed, within current laws and regulations.

Future closure, reclamation and environmental-related expenditures are difficult to estimate, in many circumstances, due to the early stage nature of investigations, and uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of environmental contamination and the application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities and changes in reclamation or remediation technology. We periodically review accrued liabilities for such reclamation and remediation costs as evidence becomes available indicating that our liabilities have potentially changed. Changes in estimates at our non-operating properties are reflected in current period net income (loss).  Accruals for closure costs, reclamation and environmental matters for operating and nonoperating properties totaled $0 million at December 31, 2008.

Goodwill

We evaluate, on at least an annual basis during the fourth quarter, the carrying amount of goodwill to determine whether current events and circumstances indicate that such carrying amount may no longer be recoverable. To accomplish this, we compare the estimated fair value of our reporting units to their carrying amounts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, we compare the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount, and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is charged to earnings. Our fair value estimates are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual fair value will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and other commodity prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Stock Based Compensation




F-13



We have issued and may issue stock in lieu of cash for certain transactions. The fair value of the stock, which is based on comparable cash purchases, third party quotations, or the value of services, whichever is more readily determinable, is used to value the transaction

Use of Estimates

Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Basic and Diluted Per Common Share

Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” basic  earnings  per common  share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares assumed to be outstanding during the period of computation. Diluted earnings per share is computed similar to basic earnings per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Because we have incurred net losses, basic and diluted loss per share are the same since additional potential common shares would be anti-dilutive.

Significant Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).  Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants.  Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements.  The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.


Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2009-05 (ASC Topic 820), which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall, ASU No. 2009-13 (ASC Topic 605), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, ASU No. 2009-14 (ASC Topic 985), Certain Revenue Arrangements that include Software Elements, and various other ASU’s No. 2009-2 through ASU No. 2010-18 which contain technical corrections to existing guidance or affect guidance to specialized industries or entities were recently issued.  These updates have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.


In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-09, which, among other things, amends Subtopic 855-10 with respect to the date through which evaluation of subsequent events must occur and under which circumstances such date must be disclosed.  The update amends subtopic 855-10 so that an SEC filer is not required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change alleviates potential conflicts between Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC’s requirements. All of the amendments in this update are effective upon issuance, with limited exceptions.  Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.




F-14



 


During February 2010, the FASB also issued ASU 2010-08, which corrects existing guidance for various topics. The update is generally effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance.  We believe these corrections will have minimal, if any, impact on our financial statements.


In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, which amends Subtopic 820-10 to require new disclosures regarding the amounts of and reasons for significant transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurement categories, and separate information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in Level 3 fair value measurements.  ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing fair value measurement disclosures to provide for fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities, even within a line item in the statement of financial position, and to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either the Level 2 or Level 3 categories.


ASU 2010-06 also includes conforming amendments to the guidance on employers’ disclosures about post-retirement benefit plan assets (Subtopic 715-20), changes the terminology in Subtopic 715-20 from major categories of assets to classes of assets, and provides a cross reference to the guidance in Subtopic 820-10 on how to determine appropriate classes to present fair value disclosures.


The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures in ASU 2010-06 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.  Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Adoption of this guidance has not had a material impact on our financial statements and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements in the future.

NOTE 3 – LEASE OF MINING PROPERTIES

On October 11, 2007, GoldLand leased its mineral rights on War Eagle Mountain to us.  The mineral rights consist of 174.82 acres of land on War Eagle Mountain in Idaho, consisting of a 100% interest in 103 acres, and a 29.166% interest in 71.82 acres, plus an additional 44 lease claims obtained from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. Under the lease, we are responsible for all mining activities on War Eagle Mountain, and we are obligated to pay GoldLand annual lease payments of $1,000,000, payable on a monthly basis, a monthly non-accountable expense reimbursement of $10,000 during any month in which ore is mined from the leased premises, and a royalty of 15% of all amounts we receive from the processing of ore mined from the properties.  The lease provides that lease payments must commence April 1, 2008, but we and GoldLand agreed to extend the commencement date to July 1, 2010, and agreed to extend the lease term for an equal amount of time. On the first quarter of 2011, we amended the above-described lease with GoldLand.  The amendment provided that the annual lease payments would be deferred for a fifteen month period from October 2010 to December 2011, and the term of the Lease would be extended for an equal amount of time.  We remain obligated to pay any royalties or the nonaccountable fee that accrues during the deferral period.     

NOTE 4 – PURCHASE OF MINING PROPERTY

 




F-15



On December 3, 2009, we acquired twenty acres of land in Owhyee County, Idaho.  The purchase price for the land was $250,000, of which $25,000 was paid at closing and the remaining $225,000 was paid by the execution of a promissory note payable to the seller in the amount of $225,000.  The promissory note is payable without interest in ten annual installments of $22,500 each.  The first installment was due and paid on January 1, 2010.  The second installment was due and paid on January 1, 2011.  A late charge of five percent is due on any annual installment which is not paid by its due date.  The note is secured by a deed of trust lien on the property that was purchased.  In addition to the property, the purchase included a fifty foot wide access easement over the seller’s property, over which we are responsible for constructing and maintaining a roadway to access the property.  We have constructed a mill on the site to process ore derived from our mining properties nearby.

NOTE 5 – ACQUISITION OF DEEP ROCK, INC.

On January 23, 2009 we issued 7,719,235 shares of Class A Common Stock valued at $355,085 to purchase 100% of the outstanding common stock of Deep Rock, Inc., an Idaho Corporation.  

NOTE 6 – MILL EQUIPMENT

During 2010 we purchased and installed equipment to be used on our mining properties totaling $851,216.  The following table summarizes our equipment as of December 31, 2010.

NOTE 7 – PREPAID EXPENSES

On October 1, 2008, we entered into a Commercial Lease Agreement, under which we leased office space in New York, New York through September 30, 2011.  Under the Commercial Lease Agreement, we issued the lessor 1,250,000 shares of our Class A Common Stock at the inception of the lease in full payment of lease payments under the lease totaling $110,160.  We capitalized the lease payment as a prepaid expense, and are amortizing the amount on a monthly basis over the life of the lease.

We also lease office space at 641-2 Chrislea Road, Woodbridge, Ontario Canada, under a lease that runs from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2011 at a rate of $400 per month.  We assumed the lease in March 2010.  Under the lease, we issued the lessor 480,000 shares of our common stock valued at $9,600 at the time we assumed the lease as payment of rent for the entire lease term.

In 2009, we issued 10,000,000 of Class A Common Stock for consulting contracts with terms of 12 to 48 months valued at $454,500.  

NOTE 8 – NOTES PAYABLE

In 2009 and 2010, we issued two-year promissory notes with an aggregate principal amount of $635,000 and $2,602,686, respectively, to various investors.  Interest accrues on the notes at the rate of 7% per year, and is payable monthly, except for notes issued to New Vision Financial, Ltd., which provide that interest is payable annually.  Principal and interest due on the notes is convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock at the election of the holder at conversion prices ranging from $0.0195 to $0.25 per share.  The conversion price of the notes is set at the market price of the Class A Common Stock on the date of issuance.  The notes mature at various dates ranging from January 27, 2011 to December 30, 2012.

In 2009, we issued $202,400 of convertible notes to an investor.  The notes have a term of two years, and accrue interest at 7% per annum payable monthly.  Principal and interest due on the notes is convertible, at the election of the holder, either into (a) Class A Common Stock at the market price on the date of issuance of the note, or (b) gold bars that are 99.999% pure at the daily London fix less a discount of $460 per ounce, provided that the net amount of any amounts which the investor may elect to convert into gold bars may not exceed 30% of our net smelter return in the month.  The conversion prices range from $0.01 to $0.08 per share.  The notes mature at various dates ranging from August 11, 2011 to December 28, 2011.  These notes were converted into Class A Common Stock in October 2010.




F-16



 

On December 3, 2009, we executed a promissory note for $225,000 as partial consideration for the purchase of land in Idaho.  (See Note 4 – Purchase of Mining Property).  The promissory note is payable without interest in ten annual installments of $22,500 each, with the first installment being due on January 1, 2010.  

The maturities of notes payable are as follows:

During 2009, we issued 2,045,455 shares of our common stock upon conversion of notes payable with an aggregate principal amount of $45,000.

During 2010, we issued 43,641,549 shares of our common stock upon conversion of notes payable with an aggregate principal amount of $2,449,065.

On December 31, 2009 and 2010, the outstanding principal balance on the two-year promissory notes was $2,067,850 and $2,236,967, respectively.

At December 31, 2010, an aggregate of 31,036,265 shares of Class A Common Stock were issuable upon conversion of the notes.

For financial statement purposes, no tax benefit has been reported as we have had significant losses in recent years and realization of the tax benefits is uncertain. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established in the full amount of the deferred tax asset.

At December 31, 2010, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $16,357,693 which will be available to offset future taxable income. These net operating loss carryforwards expire at various times through 2030.

NOTE 14 – GOING CONCERN

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  However, we have incurred net losses of ($3,294,256) and ($9,574,016) for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively.  We have remained in business primarily through the deferral of salaries by management, loans from our chief executive officer, and loans from a significant shareholder.  We intend on financing our future development activities from the same sources, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
