Item 3.02  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

We have previously reported that on June 30, and August 2, 2011, our Armadillo Mining Corporation subsidiary issued Preferred Stock to five unrelated accredited investors in exchange for an investment of $360,000.  The shares of Preferred Stock carry a 25% cumulative dividend and had a mandatory redemption feature on December 31, 2011 at a price of $1.25 per share.  In addition, the Company issued warrants to the holders of the Preferred Stock to purchase 360,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $.60 per share.

Prior to the December 31, 2011 redemption date, we offered the holders of the Preferred Stock the election to either (i) convert the outstanding redemption price into shares of our common stock at the rate of $0.1048 per share or (ii) extend the redemption date of the Preferred Stock to the earlier of June 30, 2012 or the completion by us or Armadillo of cumulative financing of at least $10 million.  Three of the holders of Preferred Stock, who had invested an aggregate of $250,000, have elected the conversion option and will receive a total of 2,981,870 shares of our Common Stock in exchange therefor.  The two remaining holders of Preferred Stock, who had invested an aggregate of $110,000, elected the extension option and will receive warrants to purchase an additional 228,593 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.2095 per share (the 50 day average of the closing price of the Common Stock as of the scheduled December 31, 2011 redemption date).  The warrants expire at the end of three years.  

The issuance and sale of the Common Stock and warrants described above was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
