--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Placer Del Mar, Ltd. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on
May 13, 2005, and its year-end is June 30. The Company is "An Exploration Stage
Company" as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting
Standards Codification ("ASC") 918, DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTITIES. The Company
obtained a mineral rights option agreement on June 3, 2005. The Company has
ongoing exploration activities on the property and is considered to be a Smaller
Reporting Company for U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing purposes.
Management believes that based upon the definition of a Shell Company set forth
in Footnote 172 to Amended Rule 144, the Company is not a Shell Company because
it has a limited operating history, was a start-up company, and as such, does
not have "no or nominal operations. Specifically, the Company's inception date
was May, 13th 2005. The Company began operations in September of 2006 and has
had ongoing operations and has spent $208,695 to date on operations to confirm
viable minerals within the claim. These funds have been expensed due to PCAOB
and GAAP rules. The Company will continue to dedicate funds through ongoing
trenching seeking to identify and exploit any minerals within the mining claim
asset. Further the Company paid an upfront fee of $2,000 for the Placer Del Mar
claim, and retain 99% of the net smelter returns from any viable minerals within
the claim. It is subject to a net smelter return of 1% to Jorge Alberto Almarez.
On December 8, 2010 the Company entered into a Mineral Extraction Agreement with
Roca Cantera Y Marmol, Canteras Acabados Finos related to the extraction of only
Mexican Shellstone-Limestone ("Conchuela") on the property. As of March 31, 2012
the Company had reported revenue of $197,927 from the Conchuela extraction.
The Company is engaged in the exploration of mineral properties with a view to
exploit any mineral deposits they discover that demonstrate economic viability.
The Company will continue our operations in Phase One exploring for mainly gold,
tungsten, perlite, sulfides, titanium, and silver while Roca Cantera Y Marmol
continues its mineral extraction of Conchuela.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of
accounting.
BASIC EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260,
EARNINGS PER SHARE. ASC 260 specifies the computation, presentation and
disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly
held common stock. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC 260 effective
May 13, 2005 (inception).
Basic net earnings (loss) per share amounts are computed by dividing the net
earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share are the same as basic earnings (loss) per
share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company.
CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
MINERAL PROPERTY COSTS
The Company continues to conduct exploration and trenching activities that began
on September 27, 2006 and has realized $197,927 in revenues from its ongoing
operations. All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Costs of
acquisition and option costs of mineral rights are capitalized upon acquisition.
Mine development costs incurred to develop new ore deposits, to expand the
capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current
production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the
property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to maintain current
production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations.
If the Company does not continue with exploration after the completion of the
feasibility study, the mineral rights will be expensed at that time. Costs of
abandoned projects are charged to mining costs including related property and
equipment costs. To determine if these costs are in excess of their recoverable
amount periodic evaluation of carrying value of capitalized costs and any
related property and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows
and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. In accordance with FASB 16 all
adjustments are normal and recurring.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are provided in accordance with ASC 740, INCOME TAXES. A deferred
tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between
financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax
expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax
assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of
management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of
enactment.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in
effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that
there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that
might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. While the Company has reported revenue
of $197,927 since inception, the Company generated a net loss of $48,767 during
the period from May 13, 2005 (inception) to March 31, 2012. This condition
raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The Company will require additional funding for exploration beyond
Phase 1, this additional funding may be raised through debt or equity offerings.
Management has yet to decide what type of offering the Company will use or how
much capital the Company will attempt to raise. There is no guarantee that the
Company will be able to raise any capital through any type of offerings.

NOTE 4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
The Company neither owns nor leases any real or personal property. The company
has obtained a mineral rights option agreement. The officer/director of the
Company is retired. It is possible he could become involved in other business
activities as they become available. This could create a conflict between the
Company and his other business interests. The Company has not formulated a
policy for the resolution of such a conflict should one arise. Loan from
shareholder represents a loan from a related party. As of March 31, 2012 the
loan balance is $89,700. Per the terms of the loan, Mr. Bravo agrees to provide
funding to Placer Del Mar, Ltd. in the amount necessary to continue the current
Phase One of the company's business plan. These funds shall continue through
Phase One for a period of twenty-four months, beginning April 2010, or until
such time as the company's geologist determines that further geological
exploration is not warranted. The loan is in an amount up to $6,000 per month to
allow the company to continue its exploration process and pay other operating
and filing expenses. All funds provided to Placer Del Mar by Mr. Bravo are
unsecured and he has agreed to forego any penalties or interest should Placer
Del Mar be unable to repay any funds provided to the Company.
NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES
As of March 31, 2012
--------------------
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating tax carryforward $ 48,767
Tax rate 34%
--------
Gross deferred tax assets 16,581
Valuation allowance (16,581)
--------
Net deferred tax assets $ 0
========
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable
income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carryforwards
are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. As the achievement of
required future taxable income is uncertain, the Company recorded a valuation
allowance.
NOTE 6. NET OPERATING LOSSES
As of March 31, 2012, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of
$48,767. Net operating loss carryforward expires twenty years from the date the
loss was incurred.
NOTE 7. MINERAL PROPERTY
Pursuant to a mineral property option agreement dated June 3, 2005, the Company
was granted an option to acquire the sole and exclusive right, privilege and
option to explore the claim together with the sole and exclusive right,
privilege and option to purchase the mineral rights under certain terms and
conditions.

OVERVIEW OF OUR BUSINESS
Placer Del Mar, Ltd. was incorporated in Nevada on May 13, 2005 for the purpose
of mining and mineral exploration. Placer Del Mar, Ltd. has a mineral rights
revenue sharing agreement with Jorge Alberto Almarez of 157 Calle Federico,
Rosarito B.C. Mexico to explore a property owned by him for mainly gold,
tungsten, perlite, sulfides, titanium, and silver. Our revenue sharing agreement
grants us the right to free access and exploration of the property together with
the right to file a mining claim on the property located 7 miles east of
Rosarito, Baja California, Mexico on Avenida Canyon Rosarito, 500 meters east of
Machado Cemetary (Longitude: 32 degrees, 21.15 minutes, 10 seconds North,
Latitude: 118 degrees, 57.27 minutes, 46 seconds West, Elevation: 174 Meters).
The Placer Del Mar mining claim was filed on April 24, 2006 with the Mexican
government. From the dates of June, 6th 2005 through April, 24th 2006, Placer
Del Mar owned an option which granted Placer the right to exercise a mining
claim on the Almarez property. On April 24th 2006 Placer Del Mar exercised its
option according to the terms of the option agreement. The terms of the option
agreement were: $2,000 was paid to Mr. Almarez for the option, and Placer was to
pay Almarez 10% net smelter returns royalty for any mineralization found on the
property. On April 24th, 2006 Placer Del Mar entered into a new agreement with
Almarez, which granted full ownership of the mineral rights located on the
Almarez property to Placer Del Mar subject to a 1 % net smelter returns royalty
reserved in favor of Mr. Almarez for any and all minerals extracted by Placer
from the property. Almarez continues to own the land. Placer Del Mar owns any
possible mineralization on the land or beneath the surface subject to the
royalty for Almarez. The principal executive offices of Placer Del Mar, Ltd. is
located at 302 Washington Street #351, San Diego, CA 92103. The telephone number
is (775) 352-3839.
The Company continues the exploration and trenching activities that began on
September 27, 2006. Further exploration will be required before the Company is
able to determine the economic viability of the property for mainly gold,
tungsten, perlite, sulfides, titanium, and silver.
Since inception through March 31, 2012 we received funding of $34,200 through
the sale of common stock. Mr. Bravo, an officer and director, purchased
1,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.01 per share for cash of $10,000 and
he received 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $10,000
($0.10 per share) in exchange for filing a mineral claim on the Company's
11
behalf. We offered and sold 420,000 common stock shares at $0.01 per share for
cash of $4,200 to 42 non-affiliated private investors. We offered and sold
200,000 common stock shares at $0.10 per share for cash of $20,000 to 4
non-affiliated private investors.
On July 20, 2007 our Registration Statement on Form SB-2 was declared effective.
On October 3, 2008 FINRA cleared Placer Del Mar for an unpriced quotation on the
OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol PDMT. On May 20, 2009 the Company filed Form
15, Notice of Suspension of Duty to File Reports. On September 15, 2010 the
Company filed a Form 10 Registration Statement with SEC to reinstate the
Company. On December 21, 2010 the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form
S-1 which was declared effective of January 3, 2011.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Company continues exploration and trenching activities that began on
September 27, 2006 exploring for mainly gold, tungsten, perlite, sulfides,
titanium, and silver. Prior to beginning Phase One of our exploration program,
we retained 3 GEO Geological Services, a professional geological firm, to
complete an initial review of the claim and to provide us with a geological
report respecting the claim that included exploration recommendations. Our
president filed a mineral claim with the Mexican government on April 24, 2006 on
behalf of the Company.
From May 2009 through March 2010 Mr. Bravo was unable to provide funds to the
Company while he handled his personal financial affairs. Without his funding, or
other sources of cash, we did not have sufficient funds to continue operations
due to Mr. Bravo's inability to continue to loan the Company funds at that time
and determined it was in the best interests to put our exploration program, that
we began in September 2006, on hold. In April 2010 we reactivated our program
and resumed trenching activities due to Mr. Bravo's improved personal financial
condition and his ability to again provide us with funding. Phase One will
require approximately another six months to complete. Once Phase One is
completed, the Company's geologist has verbally assured us his firm will be
ready to conduct geological and geophysical studies that will be conducted on
the claim at an estimated cost of $1,890 per month for a total cost of $17,000.
A senior geologist will conduct the studies at a cost of $450 per month for a
total cost of $4,000. The cost for assays is $450 per month for a total cost of
$4,000. The total estimated costs of $100,000 for Phase One includes $2,000 for
a geological study and $70,000 to $80,000 for ongoing trenching. Through March
31, 2012 we have spent $58,174 on exploration activities, $3,920 spent in the
year ended June 30, 2006, $8,054 spent in the year ended June 30, 2007, $2,500
spent in the year ended June 30, 2008, $9,000 spent in the year ended June 30,
2010, $33,192 in the fiscal year ended June 20, 2011 and $1,508 in the current
fiscal year. We believe our current cash balance of $2,923, plus revenues and
loans from Mr. Bravo as needed, will be sufficient to fund completion of Phase
One. Mr. Bravo has provided us with a written agreement to loan the Company
sufficient funds to continue the with business plan, Phase One exploration
costs, offering costs, filing fees, and correspondence with our shareholders in
an amount of up to $6,000 per month for twenty-four months (a total of
$144,000), beginning in April 2010. Mr. Bravo has assured us in writing he has
sufficient financial resources to provide the Company with the required capital
to complete Phase One.
Mr. Bravo loaned the Company $26,500 during the year ended June 30, 2011. He
will continue to loan the Company funds on a month by month basis, as needed.
The total amount owed Mr. Bravo at March 31, 2012 is $89,700. Per the terms of
the loan, Mr. Bravo agrees to provide funding to Placer Del Mar, Ltd. in the
12
amount necessary to continue the current Phase One of the business plan. These
funds shall continue through Phase One for a period of twenty-four months,
beginning April 2010, or until such time as the Company's geologist determines
that further geological exploration is not warranted. The loan is in an amount
up to $6,000 per month to allow the Company to continue its exploration process
and pay other operating and filing expenses. All funds provided to Placer Del
Mar by Mr. Bravo are unsecured and he has agreed to forego any penalties or
interest should Placer Del Mar be unable to repay any funds provided to the
Company.
If economically viable minerals are discovered in Phase One, we intend to
initiate Phase Two of our plan during the second quarter of 2012. Initial costs
for our Phase Two plan are as follows; mechanical trenching $12,500 per month
for four months for a total cost of $50,000, drilling costs of $12,500 per month
for a total cost of $50,000, fuel costs of $2,500 totaling $10,000, waste
removal costs of $1,000 per month totaling $4,000, labor costs of $5,000 per
month for four months totaling $20,000, and a onetime cost of $25,000 for mining
permits. We have not yet applied for mining permits. We intend to apply for
mining permits upon discovery of economically viable minerals. The estimated
time to complete the application process and obtain permits for mining is thirty
days. Total cost for Phase Two of our program is $159,000. We will require
additional funding in order to proceed with the excavation of any minerals and
any subsequent recommended work on the claim. If we are not successful in the
discovery of minerals our operations will cease and investors will likely lose
their money.
MINERAL EXTRACTION AGREEMENT FOR CONCHUELA
On December 8, 2010 we entered into a Mineral Extraction Agreement with Roca
Cantera Y Marmol, Canteras Acabados Finos related to the extraction of only
Mexican Shellstone-Limestone ("Conchuela") on the property. Payments to Placer
for the extraction of Conchuela will commence no later than December 31, 2010
for the exclusive right to begin extracting only Conchuela from the Property
commencing December 8, 2010, with a minimum monthly payment of $8,000. The term
of this Mineral Extraction Rights Agreement is for a period of five years,
renewable upon the anniversary date of the agreement for an additional 25 year
period at the sole discretion of Placer del Mar for a one-time payment of
$55,000.
Under the terms of the Mineral Extraction Agreement Roca Cantera Y Marmol,
Canteras Acabados Finos will pay Placer del Mar $0.88 per square foot for all
Conchuela extracted from the Property commencing with extraction activities
beginning on December 8, 2010. The first section consists of one acre with a
surface area of 43,560 square feet and is one of 46.2 acres included in this
Agreement. Payments shall be calculated on the total number of square feet
extracted each month from the Property and due and payable to us within thirty
days. While Roca Cantera Y Marmol continues its mineral extraction of Conchuela,
we will continue our operations in Phase One exploring for mainly gold,
tungsten, perlite, sulfides, titanium, and silver. Any revenues derived from the
Conchuela extraction will be used to help pay for our operating and exploration
expenses. At this time we are unable to estimate how much total revenue will be
generated from the Conchuela extraction, however, per our agreement with Roca
Cantera Y Marmol they are to pay us a minimum of $8,000 per month commencing no
later than December 31, 2010.
13
Under the terms of the Mineral Rights Revenue Sharing Agreement (as amended on
December 8, 2010), Mr. Almarez hereby gives and grants to Placer Del Mar the
sole and exclusive right to establish mineral claims on the Property, recorded
as an asset of the company with a related liability, subject to a payment of
$400,000 by Placer to Mr. Almarez to be paid in equal payments over sixty (60)
months in the amount of $6,666 beginning no later than June 1, 2011 for the
exclusive right to begin extracting only Conchuela from the Property commencing
December 8, 2010. Such payments shall be lieu of the original 1% Net Smelter
Returns royalty originally reserved in favor of Mr. Almarez in the Mineral
Rights Revenue Sharing Agreement dated April 24, 2006 and relate only to the
mining and extraction of Conchuela. According to a letter from Mr. Almarez dated
December 1, 2011, he agreed to extend the payment due date from June 30, 2011 to
April 1, 2012. The monthly amount of $6,666 will continue to accrue as of June
1, 2011 and if the Company is able to make payments before April 1, 2012 the
Company will do so. If no payments are made prior to April 1, 2012 the amount
due on that date will be $73,326. All minerals, other than Conchuela, mined or
extracted from the Property remain subject to the 1% Net Smelter Returns royalty
as stated in the original Mineral Rights Revenue Sharing Agreement dated April
24, 2006.
RECENT RULE CHANGES EFFECTING FORM S-8, FORM 8-K AND RULE 144 OF THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933.
On June 29, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted final rules
amending Form S-8 and the Form 8-K . The amendments expanded the definition of a
shell company ("Shell Company") to be broader than a company with no or nominal
operations/assets or assets consisting of cash and cash equivalents, the
amendments prohibit the use of a Form S-8 (a form used by a corporation to
register securities issued to an employee, director, officer, consultant or
advisor, under certain circumstances), and revised the requirements for Form 8-K
so that a Shell Company became required to include current Form 10 Information,
including audited financial statements, in the filing on Form 8-K reporting the
acquisition of the business opportunity. The rules are designed to assure that
investors in Shell companies that acquire operations or assets have access on a
timely basis to the same kind of information as is available to investors in
public companies with continuing operations.
On February 15, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted final rules
amending Rule 144 (and Rule 145). The amendments imposed certain restrictions on
securities issued by a Company that was ever a Shell Company. Footnote 172 to
Amended Rule 144 exempted certain Issuers from the definition of a Shell
Company:
"Rule 144(i) does not prohibit the resale of securities under Rule 144 that were
not initially issued by a reporting or a non-reporting Shell Company or an
issuer that has been at any time previously such a company, even when the issuer
is a reporting or non-reporting Shell Company at the time of sale. Contrary to
commenter's' concerns, Rule 144(i)(1)(i) is not intended to capture a "startup
company," or, in other words, a company with a limited operating history, in the
definition of a reporting or non-reporting Shell Company, as we believe that
such a company does not meet the condition of having "no or nominal operations."
We believe that based upon the definition of a Shell Company set forth in
Footnote 172, we are not a Shell Company because we have a limited operating
history, were a start-up company, and as such, we do not have "no or nominal
operations. Specifically, our inception date was May 13th, 2005. We began
14
operations in September of 2006. We have had ongoing operations and have spent
$219,250 to date on our operations to confirm viable minerals within the claim.
These funds have been expensed due to PCAOB and GAAP rules. We will continue to
dedicate funds through ongoing trenching seeking to identify and exploit any
minerals within our mining claim asset. Further we paid an upfront fee of $2,000
for the Placer Del Mar claim, and retain 99% of the net smelter returns from any
viable minerals within the claim. It is subject to a net smelter return of 1% to
Mr. Almarez.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company continues to conduct exploration and trenching activities that began
on September 27, 2006. We have generated $197,927 in revenues and have incurred
$246,694 in expenses from ongoing operations since inception through March 31,
2012, resulting in a net loss of $48,767.
The following table provides selected financial data about our Company for the
period ended March 31, 2012.
Balance Sheet Data: 3/31/2012
------------------- ---------
Cash $ 2,923
Total assets $ 450,642
Total liabilities $ 455,209
Shareholders' equity $ (4,567)
During the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 we generated $0 and
$51,952 in revenues, respectively. During the three month period ended March 31,
2012 we incurred $5,207 in general and administrative expenses, $5,147 in
interest expense and $2,789 in the amortization of the mineral rights license.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2011 we incurred $10,845 in general
and administrative expenses, $18,000 in exploration expenses, $5,070 in interest
expense and $2,789 in the amortization of the mineral rights license.
During the nine month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 we generated $14,646
and $159,152 in revenues, respectively. During the nine month period ended March
31, 2012 we incurred $26,277 in general and administrative expenses, $15,553 in
interest expense, $1,508 in exploration expense and $8,367 in the amortization
of the mineral rights license. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 we
incurred $27,245 in general and administrative expenses $6,744 in interest
expense, $18,000 in exploration expenses and $3,719 in the amortization of the
mineral rights license.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash in the bank at March 31, 2012 was $2,923 with $127,927 in accounts
receivable. There was no cash provided by financing activities for the period
ended March 31, 2012. Cash provided by financing since inception was $10,000
from the sale of shares to our officer and $24,200 resulting from the sale of
our common stock to 46 independent investors.
15
We believe our existing cash balance, revenue from the Conchuela extraction and
any funds loaned from Mr. Bravo will be sufficient to fund our operations for
the next twelve months during our exploration stage. Through March 31, 2012 we
have spent $58,174 on exploration activities. In addition to our existing cash,
Mr. Bravo has provided us with a written agreement to loan the Company
sufficient funds to continue the Company's business plan, Phase One exploration
costs, offering costs, filing fees, and correspondence with our shareholders in
an amount of up to $6,000 per month for twenty-four months (a total of
$144,000), beginning in April 2010. From April 2010 to March 31, 2012 Mr. Bravo
loaned the company $31,700, leaving up to $112,300 available to the Company. The
cumulative total amount of the loan at March 31, 2012 was $89,700. No amount of
funds, loaned to the Company by Mr. Bravo, has been repaid as of the date of
this filing.
In the event we are unable to continue to generate revenue from the Conchuela
extraction and Mr. Bravo does not provide the funding as discussed above, our
business will likely fail, we may cease operations, and investors will likely
lose their money.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or 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 is material to investors.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS OVERVIEW
On June 6th, 2005 we entered into a Mineral Property Agreement (the "Agreement")
with Jorge Alberto Almarez of 157 Calle Federico, Rosarito B.C. Mexico. On April
24, 2006 that agreement was superseded by a new agreement titled Mineral Rights
Revenue Sharing Agreement. The new agreement grants us the right to free access
and exploration of the property together with the sole and exclusive right to
establish mineral claims on the property, subject to a 1% net smelter returns
royalty reserved in favor Mr. Almarez. In order to keep the rights granted in
good standing we paid Mr. Almarez $2,000. In addition we will pay Mr. Almarez
the 1% net smelter returns royalty annually during the term of the agreement.
The term of the agreement shall be for a period of 30 years from the signing
date of the agreement, renewable upon the anniversary date of the agreement for
an additional 30 year period at the sole discretion of Placer for a one-time
payment of $100,000. Owning the claim only provides us with the right to explore
for and extract minerals. A net smelter returns royalty is the percentage of
money that the royalty holder would receive from the sale of minerals from the
claim to a smelter, less refining charges, ore treatment charges, penalties and
transportation costs. The Agreement also provides that if we are in default of
the payments noted above, Mr. Almarez can terminate the Agreement after
providing 30 days written notice of the default.
To date we have hired a third party geologist (3 GEO Geological Services) to
prepare a preliminary geology report on the area in which the claim is located
and our president filed a mineral claim with the Mexican government on April 24,
2006 on behalf of the company, and continue Phase One of our exploration program
we started on September 27, 2006.
16
Further exploration is required to determine the economic and legal feasibility
of the Placer Del Mar claim. Our exploration goal is to find exploitable
minerals on our claim, mainly gold, tungsten, perlite, sulfides, titanium, and
silver. Our success depends on achieving that goal. There is the likelihood of
our mineral claim containing little or no economic mineralization or reserves of
minerals. There is the possibility that the Placer Del Mar claim does not
contain any reserves and the funds spent on exploration will be lost. We must
complete a survey of the mineral claim in order to ensure that any potential
mineralization is within the claim boundaries. There can be no assurance that
any mineral deposits or reserves, exist on the Placer Del Mar claim. If we
complete both phases of our mineral exploration plan, and we successfully
identify a mineral deposit, we will still need to spend substantial funds on
drilling and engineering studies prior to knowing if our claim is commercially
viable. If the company is unable to fund its activities identified in Phase One
then its operations will cease, the business will fail, and investors will
likely lose their money.
From May 2009 through March 2010 Mr. Bravo was unable to provide funds to the
company while he handled his personal financial affairs. Without his funding, or
other sources of cash, we did not have sufficient funds to continue operations
and determined it was in our best interests to put our exploration program,
which we began in September 2006, on hold. Mr. Bravo has assured us in writing
he has sufficient financial resources to provide the company with the required
capital to complete Phase One. In April 2010 we reactivated our program and have
commenced trenching activities. We believe we will be able to complete Phase One
of exploration on the Placer Del Mar claim within the next six months. Phase One
will consist of geologic surveying, mapping and analytical assays. We anticipate
that Phase One, including ongoing trenching, will cost approximately $100,000.
Phase One cost estimates were provided to us by 3 GEO Geological Services who
prepared the preliminary geological report respecting the Placer Del Mar claim.
On September 27, 2006 we began Phase One of our exploration program of the
Placer Del Mar claim. Prior to beginning Phase One of our exploration program,
we retained 3 GEO Geological Services, a professional geological firm, to
complete an initial review of the claim and to provide us with a geological
report respecting the claim that included exploration recommendations. For these
services, we paid 3 GEO Geological Services $2,000. Our president filed a
mineral claim with the Mexican government on April 24, 2006 on behalf of the
company.
PHASE ONE
We are continuing Phase One of our exploration program we began on September 27,
2006 on the Placer Del Mar mineral claim exploring for mainly gold, tungsten,
perlite, sulfides, titanium, and silver. Phase One will require approximately
another six months to complete. Once the current trenching program is completed,
3 Geo Geological Services has verbally assured us their firm will be ready to
conduct geological and geophysical studies will be conducted on the claim at an
estimated cost of $1,890 per month for a total cost of $17,000. A senior
geologist will conduct the studies at a cost of $450 per month for a total cost
of $4,000. The cost for assays is $450 per month for a total cost of $4,000.
Total estimated costs for Phase One including the $2,000 a geological study and
ongoing trenching is $100,000. These cost estimates were verbally confirmed in
April 2010. We believe our current cash balance of $830, plus revenue and loans
from Mr. Bravo will be sufficient to fund completion of Phase One. Mr. Bravo has
provided us with a written agreement to loan the company sufficient funds to
17
continue the company's business plan, Phase One exploration costs, offering
costs, filing fees, and correspondence with our shareholders in an amount of up
to $6,000 per month through March 2012.
PHASE TWO
If economically viable minerals are discovered in Phase One, we intend to
initiate Phase Two of our plan during the second quarter of 2012. Initial costs
for our Phase Two plan are as follows; mechanical trenching $12,500 per month
for four months for a total cost of $50,000, drilling costs of $12,500 per month
for a total cost of $50,000, fuel costs of $2,500 totaling $10,000, waste
removal costs of $1,000 per month totaling $4,000, labor costs of $5,000 per
month for four months totaling $20,000, and a onetime cost of $25,000 for mining
permits. We have not yet applied for mining permits. We intend to apply for
mining permits upon discovery of economically viable minerals. The estimated
time to complete the application process and obtain permits for mining is thirty
days. Total cost for Phase Two of our program is $159,000. We will require
additional funding in order to proceed with the excavation of any minerals and
any subsequent recommended work on the claim. As of this date we have not
identified a source for this additional funding. We do not expect weather
conditions to substantially impact our plan of operation due to the moderate
climate and favorable weather conditions of Baja California, Mexico. Phase Two
of our exploration is contingent upon the discovery of sufficient mineralization
to continue. If we are not successful in the discovery of minerals our
operations will cease and investors will likely lose their money.
MINERAL EXTRACTION AGREEMENT FOR CONCHUELA
On December 8, 2010 we entered into a Mineral Extraction Agreement with Roca
Cantera Y Marmol, Canteras Acabados Finos related to the extraction of only
Mexican Shellstone-Limestone ("Conchuela") on the property. Payments to Placer
for the extraction of Conchuela will commence no later than December 31, 2010
for the exclusive right to begin extracting only Conchuela from the Property
commencing December 8, 2010. The term of this Mineral Extraction Rights
Agreement is for a period of five years, renewable upon the anniversary date of
the agreement for an additional 25 year period at the sole discretion of Placer
del Mar for a one-time payment of $55,000. While Roca Cantera Y Marmol continues
its mineral extraction of Conchuela, we will continue our operations in Phase
One exploring for mainly gold, tungsten, perlite, sulfides, titanium, and
silver. Any revenues derived from the Conchuela extraction will be used to help
pay for our operating and exploration expenses. At this time we are unable to
estimate how much revenue will be generated from the Conchuela extraction.
Under the terms of the Mineral Extraction Agreement Roca Cantera Y Marmol,
Canteras Acabados Finos will pay Placer del Mar $0.88 per square foot, for all
Conchuela extracted from the Property commencing with extraction activities
beginning on December 8, 2010. The first section consists of one acre with a
surface area of 43,560 square feet and is one of 46.2 acres included in this
Agreement. Payments shall be calculated on the total number of square feet
extracted each month from the Property and due and payable to us within thirty
days, with a minimum payment per month of $8,000.
Under the terms of the Mineral Rights Revenue Sharing Agreement (as amended on
December 8, 2010), Mr. Almarez hereby gives and grants to Placer Del Mar the
sole and exclusive right to establish mineral claims on the Property, recorded
18
as an asset of the company with a related liability, subject to a payment of
$400,000 by Placer to Mr. Almarez to be paid in equal payments over sixty (60)
months in the amount of $6,666 beginning no later than June 1, 2011 for the
exclusive right to begin extracting only Conchuela from the Property commencing
December 8, 2010. Such payments shall be lieu of the original 1% Net Smelter
Returns royalty originally reserved in favor of Mr. Almarez in the Mineral
Rights Revenue Sharing Agreement dated April 24, 2006 and relate only to the
mining and extraction of Conchuela. According to a letter from Mr. Almarez dated
December 1, 2011, he agreed to extend the payment due date from June 30, 2011 to
April 1, 2012. The monthly amount of $6,666 will continue to accrue as of June
1, 2011 and if the Company is able to make payments before April 1, 2012 the
Company will do so. If no payments are made prior to April 1, 2012 the amounts
due on that date will be $73,326. All minerals, other than Conchuela, mined or
extracted from the Property remain subject to the 1% Net Smelter Returns royalty
as stated in the original Mineral Rights Revenue Sharing Agreement dated April
24, 2006.
GOING CONCERN
We have received a going concern opinion on our financial statements that raises
substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. As described
in Note 3 of our accompanying financial statements, our losses to date and our
lack of any guaranteed sources of future capital create substantial doubt as to
our ability to continue as a going concern. If our business plan does not work,
we could remain as a start-up company with limited material operations,
revenues, or profits. Although management has believes their plan for Placer Del
Mar will generate revenue and profit, there is no guarantee their past
experiences will provide Placer Del Mar with similar future successes.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT
(A) DISMISSAL OF PLS, CPA
(a) On October 11, 2011, the board of directors of Placer Del Mar, Ltd.
dismissed PLS, CPA, as our principal independent accountant. On October 12,
2011, we engaged George Stewart, CPA as our principal independent accountant.
PLS CPA's report on our financial statements for each of the two fiscal years
ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit
scope, or accounting principles, except that such report on our financial
statements contained an explanatory paragraph in respect to the substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
During our fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 and in the
subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal, there were no
disagreements, resolved or not, with PLS, CPA on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or audit scope and
procedures, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of PLS,
CPA, would have caused PLS, CPA to make reference to the subject matter of the
disagreement(s) in connection with its report.
20
During our fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 and in the
subsequent interim period through the date of dismissal, there were no
reportable events as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
We provided PLS, CPA with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its
filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and requested that they
furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission
stating whether they agree with the statements made in this Current Report on
Form 8-K, and if not, stating the respects with which he does not agree. The
letter from PLS, CPA is included as Exhibit 16.1 to the Company's report on Form
8-K filed on October 14, 2011.
(b) During our fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 and in the
subsequent interim period through the date of appointment of George Stewart, CPA
on October 12, 2011, we have not consulted with George Stewart, CPA regarding
either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction,
either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be
rendered on its financial statements, nor has George Stewart, CPA provided to
our company a written report or oral advice that George Stewart, CPA concluded
