PART I

ITEM 1.

BUSINESS.

Overview

We are a mineral extraction company based in the Republic of Chile, with copper as our principal “pay metal.” Our founders, Messrs. Jorge Osvaldo Orellana Orellana and Jorge Fernando Pizarro Arriagada, have refined the electrowin process in a way that permits the electrowin process to be used at a relatively small mine and/or tailings sites. Electrowinning is a process in which positive and negative electrodes are placed in an acidic solution containing copper ions, and an electric current passed through the solution causes the copper to be deposited on the negative electrodes so that it can be collected.

We have obtained rights to conduct our mineral extraction operations at several sites in and around the Coquimbo region, which is located in north-central Chile, approximately 400 kilometers north of Santiago. While these sites each have their own mineral deposits, we will procure the majority of our source material from non-traditional sources, including tailings, ore, or a combination thereof, by purchasing rights to such source material at smaller sites, where it is not economical for larger open-pit mining companies to operate, due largely to the transportation costs associated with moving source materials to fixed processing sites.

By utilizing Minimum Intrusion Non-traditional Input, or MINI, plants, we are able to build scalable, less expensive plants closer to source material deposits, thereby resulting in significant processing savings. In addition, since smaller sites generally require higher copper prices, due to transportation costs, to operate profitably, these deposits can currently be purchased at a discount. By utilizing this strategy, we are able to reduce costs and operate profitably with smaller deposits.

The initial design capacity of each MINI plant is between approximately 1,200 and 2,000 metric tons of annual copper cathode output. Each MINI plant can be expanded on a modular basis in increments of 1,500 metric tons. We believe that the installed cost for a new 1,500 metric ton MINI plant, with the ability to produce tailings, at the average location, is about $3,000,000, or $2,000 per metric ton of annual capacity. Expanding the capacity of an existing MINI plant will cost between $400 and $800 per metric ton, depending on the site. Once the available source material deposits at and around the site of an existing MINI plant have been depleted, we anticipate that we can recover up to 70% of the cost of constructing a new MINI plant by relocating the support structures and processing equipment from the original MINI plant.

By reducing unit costs and carefully managing the average source material grade, we estimate that the MINI plant technology will allow us to break even at copper prices as low as US$1.00 per pound, or US$2,205 per metric ton. As of July 5, 2012, copper was trading at $7,760 per metric ton on the London Metals Exchange, or LME. As the price of finished copper has increased, however, there has been increased interest in raw copper ore from a number of “higher cost” producers that can increase their production volumes by buying ore in the market from small miners. Historically, these producers would not have been interested in raw ore purchases, as they could not generate profits at lower finished copper prices. However the increase in finished copper prices has made third-party purchase attractive for a number of additional producers. While the additional producers entering the market for minerals has not had an affect on the cost of the ore, it has put the miners into a stronger negotiating position on the sales of their ore. As such, the market now demands that producers must purchase the ore by providing payment upon delivery of the ore, as opposed to the historical practice of providing payment following the sale of the finished copper. This shift in the market has affected our need for working capital substantially, in that we now require approximately $1 million per MINI plant to purchase enough ore to operate at full capacity.

Initially, we plan to sell our copper cathodes to Madeco, the largest cable producer in Chile. Based on our discussions with Madeco, we expect that the selling price will be at a 3% discount from the price for copper, adjusted for purity, on the LME. We expect that sales will be made under purchase orders where cash will be paid upon delivery. We anticipate that this arrangement will provide us with immediate cash flow with which we will use to fund our current operations. In the future, as business volume grows, we may elect to sell our copper cathodes at the generally higher prices prevailing on the LME.

Since our inception on January 2, 2008, we have focused our activities on acquiring mineral rights and sites on which to construct our MINI plants. Since starting construction in the fall of 2008, we have successfully completed our first scalable MINI plant, designated as the Ana Maria plant, located about 30 kilometers northeast of the town of Illapel, in the mining district of Matancilla. We have been testing the production of copper cathodes at the Ana Maria plant since late April 2009. In July 2009, we produced our first commercial run of copper cathodes.

We commenced operations at the Ana Maria plant in July 2009. The Ana Maria plant was taken off-line the first week of May 2010 in order to increase the capacity of this facility. As a result, the total capacity of the Ana Maria plant increased from 120 metric tons per month to 180 metric tons per month, effectively increasing its capacity by 50%. We resumed operations at the plant with the additional capacity in place at the beginning of August 2010. We believe that the site can be progressively expanded to about 5,000 metric tons per annum on a modular basis in increments of 500 to 1,000 metric tons, subject to the market price for copper and the grade and quantity of source materials available to be processed.

The purity level of the copper we have produced to date is evidenced by the analysis of acceptance from Madeco. Prior to the mineral being processed, we are able to verify the levels of copper and other minerals in order to adjust the chemicals used to ensure the highest concentrations of copper are extracted. In addition, we are also further enhancing our electrowin-based recovery techniques to reduce costs and improve the yield of the copper out of the mineral spectrum.

Our second plant, Santa Filomena, is approximately 75% complete as of the date of this report, and we have also begun preparatory work at one additional site we have under our control, in anticipation of the construction of additional MINI plants over the next 18 to 24 months.

To date, the majority of our capital expenditures have been used for the construction of our facilities.

Corporate History

CMT was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 26, 2007 under the name “SMSA El Paso I Acquisition Corp.,” to effect the reincorporation of Senior Management Services of El Paso Sunset, Inc., a Texas corporation, or SMSA Texas, from Texas to Nevada (which was completed by a merger of SMSA Texas into CMT on October 1, 2007) as part of the implementation of a Chapter 11 reorganization plan of SMSA Texas and its affiliated companies, or the SMS Companies, which filed a petition for Chapter 11 reorganization on January 17, 2007. During the three years prior to filing the reorganization petition, the SMS Companies operated a chain of skilled nursing homes in Texas, which prior to the bankruptcy proceedings consisted of 14 nursing facilities, ranging in size from approximately 114 beds to 325 beds. In 2005, the SMS Companies obtained a secured credit facility from a financial institution, which eventually was comprised of an $8.3 million term loan and a revolving loan of up to $15 million. By late 2006, the SMS Companies were in an “overadvance” position, whereby the amount of funds by the lender exceeded the amount of collateral eligible to be borrowed under the credit facility.

Beginning in September 2006, the SMS Companies entered into the first of a series of forbearance agreements whereby the lender agreed to forebear from declaring the financing in default provided that the SMS Companies obtained a commitment from a new lender to refinance and restructure the credit facility. The SMS Companies were unsuccessful in obtaining a commitment from a new lender and, on January 5, 2007, the lender declared the SMS Companies in default and commenced foreclosure and collection proceedings. Subsequently, on January 17, 2007, the SMS Companies filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The First Amended, Modified Chapter 11 Plan, or the Plan, as presented by the SMS Companies and their creditors was approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas - Dallas Division, on August 1, 2007. The Plan provided that certain identified claimants as well as unsecured creditors, in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Plan, and our new controlling stockholder would receive “new” shares of our post-reorganization common stock, pursuant to Section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Halter Financial Group, Inc., or Halter Financial, participated with the SMS Companies and their creditors in structuring the Plan. As part of the Plan, Halter Financial provided $115,000 to be used to pay professional fees associated with the Plan confirmation process. Halter Financial was granted an option to be repaid through the issuance of equity securities in 23 of the SMS Companies, including CMT. Halter Financial exercised the option and as provided in the Plan 80% of our outstanding common stock, or 400,000 shares, was issued to Halter Financial in satisfaction of Halter Financial’s administrative claims. The remaining 20% of our outstanding common stock, or 100,016 shares, was issued to 455 holders of unsecured debt. The 500,016 shares were issued pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. Effective September 26, 2007, Halter Financial transferred its 400,000 shares to Halter Financial Investments, L.P., or HFI, a Texas limited partnership controlled by Timothy P. Halter.

We were subject to the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court until we consummated the exchange transaction described below with LAV in November 2008. As we timely consummated a merger or acquisition with a qualifying entity, we filed a certificate of compliance with the bankruptcy court which stated that the requirements of the Plan had been met, resulting in the discharge to be deemed granted. Thereafter, the post discharge injunction provisions set forth in the Plan and the confirmation order became effective.

On November 18, 2008, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Latin America Ventures, Inc., or LAV, a Nevada corporation, and the sole stockholder of LAV, Mr. Pierre Galoppi, pursuant to which Mr. Galoppi transferred 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of LAV to us in exchange for 1,500,000 newly issued shares of our common stock that constituted approximately 75% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of such exchange. As a result of this transaction, Mr. Galoppi became our controlling stockholder and LAV became our subsidiary. LAV was organized on September 15, 2008 as a Nevada corporation and was formed to seek and identify a privately-held operating company located in Latin America desiring to become a publicly held company by combining through a reverse merger or acquisition transaction. On December 15, 2008, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with LAV pursuant to which LAV was merged with and into us, with CMT continuing as the surviving corporation. In connection with the merger, our name was changed to from “SMSA El Paso I Acquisition Corp.” to “Latin America Ventures, Inc.” The parent-subsidiary merger and name change became effective on December 30, 2008.

On May 12, 2010, we completed a reverse acquisition transaction through a share exchange with Minera and its shareholders whereby we acquired 99.9% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Minera in exchange for 6,000,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001, which constituted 83.33% of our issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the reverse acquisition. As a result of the reverse acquisition, Minera became our subsidiary and the former shareholders of Minera became our controlling stockholders. Jorge Osvaldo Orellana Orellana, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who is also one of the former shareholders of Minera, retained one share of Minera, constituting 0.1% of Minera’s issued and outstanding capital stock. We structured the acquisition of Minera to allow Mr. Orellana to retain one share of Minera in order to comply with Chilean legal requirements that a Sociedad Anónim, like Minera, have at least two record owners of its capital stock. Upon the closing of the reverse acquisition, Mr. Orellana entered into a nominee agreement with us pursuant to which he agreed to act as the record holder of such share, but agreed that all other rights to the share, including the right to receive distributions on the share, vote the share and be the beneficial owner of the share, rest in the Company. Minera was incorporated as a “sociedad anónima cerrada” under the laws of Chile on January 2, 2008. Under Chilean law a “sociedad anónima cerrada” is functionally the same as a corporation under U.S. law. As a result of the reverse acquisition, we have assumed the business and operations of Minera. On June 16, 2010, we changed our name to “Chile Mining Technologies Inc.” to more accurately reflect our new business operations.

On May 12, 2010, we also completed a private placement in which we issued and sold to certain accredited investors an aggregate of 2,089,593 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,809,000, or $2.78 per share, and warrants to purchase up to 1,044,803 shares of our common stock. The warrants have a term of four years, bear an exercise price of $3.61 per share (subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications and similar events), are exercisable on a net exercise or cashless basis and are exercisable by investors at any time after the closing date. This private placement occurred on the same day, but immediately after, the reverse acquisition transaction described above. As a result of this private placement, we raised approximately $5.8 million in gross proceeds, which left us with approximately $4.5 million in net proceeds after the deduction of offering expenses in the amount of approximately $1.3 million.

In connection with the private placement, we also agreed to certain “make good” provisions. Under the “make good” provisions, we issued additional “make good” warrants to the investors to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,089,593 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, which will only become exercisable if we do not meet certain financial performance targets in 2011 and 2012. The “make good” provisions established minimum net income thresholds of $14,382,102 and $15,179,687 for the 2011 and 2012 fiscal years, respectively. We did not meet the minimym net income thresholds for either 2011 or 2012, and accordingly all shares underlying the make good warrants vested and are currently exercisable.

On May 8, 2012, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to such investors (i) up to $3.5 million of eleven percent (11%) secured convertible notes, which notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.00 per share and (ii) warrants to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of common stock that the notes purchased by the investors may be convertible into, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. On May 8, 2012, we completed the initial closing with the investors in which we issued and sold (i) notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $2,120,000, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 530,000 shares of common stock, in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,120,000. On June 7, 2012, we effected a second and final closing pursuant in which we issued and sold to investors (i) notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $1,015,000 and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 253,750 shares of common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,015,000.

Our Industry

Overview of the Global Copper Industry

Copper, in the form of copper cathodes, is an internationally traded commodity, and its prices are determined by the major metals exchanges – the New York Mercantile Exchange, or COMEX, the LME, and the Shanghai Futures Exchange, or SHFE. Prices on these exchanges generally reflect the worldwide balance of copper supply and demand, but are also influenced significantly, from time to time, by speculative actions and currency exchange rates. Copper consumption is closely associated with industrial production and therefore tends to follow economic cycles. During an expansion, demand for copper tends to increase, thereby driving up the price. As a result, copper prices are volatile and cyclical.

According to data from ICSG, the refined copper market balance for 2012 is expected to show a deficit of approximately 240,000 metric tons, as increased economic activity is expected to boost demand in copper end-use markets.

World copper mine production in 2012 is expected to rise by approximately 5.1% to approximately 16.9 million metric tons. Capacity utilization rates are expected to improve to around 81% in 2012, up from 79% in 2011. World refined copper production for 2012 is projected to increase by 2.5% in 2012, to around 20.15 million metric tons. In 2013, it is anticipated that refined copper production will increase by about 6.9%

The recent global economic crisis has significantly reduced world refined copper usage. However, increased economic activity has increased demand, and the ICSG expects world refined usage to increase by 2.5% in 2012 to 20.4 million metric tons. Industrial demand growth in China, which accounts for more than 30% of global refined copper consumption, is expected to grow by approximately 3.6% in 2012.

For 2013, improved macro-economic conditions are expected to generate copper demand growth of 3.9%: Chinese usage is foreseen to increase by 4.9% and the rest of the world by 3.3% . In addition, in 2013, with improved concentrate availability, refined copper production is expected to grow by 6.9%, electrowin copper production and secondary refined production are expected to grow by about 160,000 metric tons and 190,000 metric tons, respectively, in 2012, and by about 130,000 metric tons and 180,000 metric tons, respectively, in 2013.

The above information from ICSG is available on their website at www.icsg.org.

The graph below presents LME spot copper prices and reported stocks of copper at the LME from January 1, 2006 through July 6, 2012.

Copper Mining in Chile

Chile is not only the largest copper producer in the world, but also the country with the largest worldwide reserves of the red metal, reveals the latest commodity report by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

According to the USGS, Chile has 28% of the world reserves, more than twice the reserves that neighbour Peru, second global copper producer. It means that the South American country has reserves of 190,000 million tons of copper, 26% more than it was thought (150,000 million tons), which guarantees copper extraction for the next 100 years, at the current extraction rate.

The steady rise in copper prices has made of Chile's economy one of the strongest and most robust of Latin America, as the red metal represents over 40% of the country’s exports, and its main source of income. Chile currently produces more than a third of the worldwide copper.

Copper has been mined and refined in Chile since pre-Columbian times. In the Spanish colonial period dating from 1535 to 1818, the year when independence from Spain was declared in Chile, several dozen small mines were worked by hand, producing around 125,000 metric tons of copper, according to the Chilean Copper Commission (Comisión Chilena del Cobre), or Cochilco. In the period following the establishment of the Republic of Chile until 1900, and as a result of significant British and U.S. investment in new mining technology, about 1,650,000 metric tons of copper was mined at several hundred sites, averaging about 33,000 metric tons per year between 1875 and 1900. Generally, only ore bearing more than 10% copper was mined in shallow pits or short underground mines. Many of our tailings in the Coquimbo region date from this period.

In the 20^th century, Chile established itself as the world leader in copper production. In the early 1970s, Salvador Allende’s leftist government nationalized several of the larger foreign-owned copper mining and smelting operations into a state-owned entity known as Codelco. By 1975, the four Codelco properties produced 682,300 metric tons, representing 82% of Chilean copper output. Following the 1976 reorganization, Codelco alone produced 890,000 metric tons in 1977, with Chuquicamata generating 579,000 metric tons, or 65%, of the corporate total, and, another Codelco mine, El Teniente, reaching 276,000 metric tons. From 1983 to 1989, Codelco increased its production from 1,100,000 metric tons to 1,240,000 metric tons, reflecting a pattern of steady reinvestment in extraction, processing, and refining capacity. With the renovation of production capabilities, Codelco emerged as one of the lowest cost producers of copper in the global industry, allowing it to survive a long period in the late 1980s and early 1990s when metals prices were depressed. With the emergence of the Chinese and other Asian economies, Codelco’s output and profitability increased with the demand for copper causing higher prices.

In 1986, Augusto Pinochet’s government liberalized the mining law of Chile, limiting the Codelco mineral claims to those that it had already explored and staked, and permitting private enterprise, domestic and foreign, to reenter the mining business for copper and all other minerals in the country. In addition to several small, locally-owned mining companies, many major international mining companies such as Australia-based BHP-Billiton, Canada-based Aur Resources Inc., and South Africa-based Anglo-American plc, began to develop modern, high-capacity copper mining projects, most of which came on line in the late 1990s, increasing Chilean national copper output by over 400% from 1989, and global market share from about 17% to approximately 35% in 2010.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe that the following competitive strengths enable us to compete effectively and to capitalize on the growth of the market for copper:

Use of MINI plant Design. Our overall strategy is to extract copper from source material for the lowest possible cost using MINI plant design. We believe that the MINI plant offers major advantages in (1) making smaller-sized ore deposits and tailings sites economically viable over the expected range of copper prices; (2) reducing electricity and water requirements in a country where the resources are scarce and relatively expensive; (3) increasing portability as the source material at a commercially feasible site depletes; and (4) increasing our proximity to smaller third-party mining operations.
First to Market. To our knowledge, we are the first company in Chile to utilize a scalable MINI plant concept to process relatively small deposits and tailings sites. Being an early entrant to the market provides us with know- how and experience that are essential to the profitable exploitation of these sites. Any new market entrants that might become our competitors in the future will require time to develop operational processes and experience and general know-how before they can effectively compete with us.
Low level of Competition. We currently have no competitors in Chile that extract copper from smaller or abandoned tailings sites utilizing MINI plants like we do. Although we can provide no assurances that other mining companies will not enter the market of extracting copper utilizing the MINI plant concept, we believe that we will have a competitive advantage over any new market entrant as a result of our ongoing operational experience.
Experienced Management Team. Each member of our management team has extensive experience in the mining industry in Chile. All members of our senior management team have advanced degrees, and include a geologist and a mechanical engineer. Our senior management team has worked together at our Chilean subsidiary, Minera, and on other projects before the inception of Minera for over fifteen years. This experience provides us with the ability to identify new mining opportunities, analyze such opportunities for profitability and develop processes to exploit any opportunities we identify.

Our Operational Strategy

We are committed to enhancing profitability and cash flows through the following strategies:

Expansion. Since starting construction in the fall of 2008, we have successfully completed the first MINI plant, designated as the Ana Maria plant, located about 30 kilometers northeast of the town of Illapel, in the mining district of Matancilla. Construction of our second MINI plant, Santa Filomena, is approximately 75% complete and we anticipate the construction of additional MINI plants over the next 18 to 24 months. We have identified additional sites suitable for our MINI plants. As discussed in greater detail under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Overall Liquidity and Capital Resources,” our ability to effectively expand our operations is dependent on our ability to obtain sufficient funds, through a financing, bank loans or a combination thereof.
Exploration. Utilizing the operational platform that we have developed, we intend to create other sources of revenue within the Chilean mining industry. We plan to create a mineral exploration department and utilize our experienced management and operational teams to explore mining opportunities in Chile.

Our Products

Our main product is copper, in the form of copper cathode. Copper is the world’s third most widely used metal and an important component in the world’s infrastructure. Copper has unique chemical and physical properties, including high electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, as well as excellent malleability and ductility that has made it a superior material for use in the electrical energy, telecommunications, building construction, transportation and industrial machinery businesses. Copper is also an important metal in non-electrical applications such as plumbing, roofing and, when alloyed with zinc to form brass, in many industrial and consumer applications.

Initially, we plan to sell our copper cathodes to Madeco, the largest cable producer in Chile. Based on our discussions with Madeco, we expect that the selling price will be at a 3% discount from the price for copper, adjusted for purity, on the LME. We expect that sales will be made under purchase orders where cash will be paid upon delivery. We anticipate that this arrangement will provide us with immediate cash flow with which to fund our current operations. In the future, as business volume grows, we may elect to sell our copper cathodes at the generally higher prices prevailing on the LME.

Our Plants

Since starting construction in the fall of 2008, we have successfully completed our first scalable MINI plant, designated as the Ana Maria plant, located about 30 kilometers northeast of the town of Illapel, in the mining district of Matancilla. We have been testing the production of copper cathodes at the Ana Maria plant since late April 2009. In July 2009, we produced our first commercial run of copper cathodes.

We commenced operations at the Ana Maria plant in July 2009. The Ana Maria plant was taken off-line the first week of May 2010 in order to increase the capacity of this facility. As a result, the total capacity of the Ana Maria plant increased from 120 metric tons per month to 180 metric tons per month, effectively increasing its capacity by 50%. We resumed operations at the plant with the additional capacity in place at the beginning of August 2010. Due to the increased needs for working capital to purchase ore, the plant is not yet operating at significant levels of production. We believe that the site can be progressively expanded to about 5,000 metric tons per annum on a modular basis in increments of 500 to 1,000 metric tons, subject to the market price for copper and the grade and quantity of source materials available to be processed. We are also further enhancing our electrowin-based recovery techniques to reduce costs and improve the yield of the copper out of the mineral spectrum.

Construction of our second MINI plant, Santa Filomena is approximately 75% complete, and we have also begun preparatory work at one additional site and we anticipate the construction of additional MINI plants over the next 18 to 24 months. We have identified several additional sites suitable for our MINI plants.

The table below summarizes the capacity of each of our current and planned MINI plants.

District	Plant	Initial Production	Initial Capacity/Year

Matancilla	Ana Maria	Operating	1,500 MT (1)
Salamanca	Santa Filomena	2^ndQuarter 2013	1,500 MT
Combarbala	Gabriella	4^thQuarter 2013	1,500 MT

(1) Since we commenced operations at the Ana Maria plant, total annual capacity has been increased to 2,225 metric tons.

We have obtained the rights to conduct our mineral extraction operations at our first 2 planned sites, Matancilla and Salamanca properties. We have agreements in place for the mineral rights at one additional property. These agreements require deposits to be fully executed and anticipate executing these agreements once the Company has the required funds.

Plant Operations

Summary Overview of Our Extraction Process

The following chart illustrates the process of extracting copper from source material:

As shown in the chart above, source material in the form of ore, identified as “run-of-mine,” is initially crushed and milled, with the larger fragments sent for leaching in either vats or in large mounds. The smaller fragments are blended with copper tailings and leached in tanks. The larger fragments are piled in a heap which is lined with an impervious layer, and the leaching solution is sprayed over the top of the heap, and allowed to percolate downward through the heap. The heap design incorporates collection sumps which allow the leach solution that has collected dissolved metal ions to be pumped our and mixed with a 2g/liter solution of acid for further processing. Each leaching process, which differs chemically and operationally, involves the introduction of acids to the source material, which liquefies the copper contained in the source material, thereby separating it from the rock and other materials in the source material. The resulting acidic solution is then filtered and ultimately placed into tanks where the electrowin process is introduced. During the electrowinning process, positive and negative electrodes are placed in the acidic solution containing the copper ions, and an electric current passed through the solution causes the copper to be deposited on the negative electrodes for collection in the form of the copper cathodes. As a result of the electrowinning process, a reaction occurs in carrying out the transfer of copper, which clears a positive hydrogen ion which then associates with molecules of chlorine and nitrate (which are added artificially), resulting in the formation of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. The addition of sodium chloride and nitrate in bulk is unique to our process and allows us to collect the hydrochloric acid and nitric acid for use in future processing.

The price of copper on the LME fluctuates daily, and, more significantly, by quarter of the year, with prices tending to be stronger in the April to September period, and weaker in the October to March period, subject to global supply and demand. Output from each MINI plant is also subject to a number of factors revolving around overall mechanical reliability of the processing equipment, the ore grade, and weather conditions.

The economic advantages of the MINI plant are driven by the ability to achieve profitable operation by reducing the cost of: (1) transportation of the source material to the plant site; (2) leaching agents; (3) electric power; (4) water; (5) total manpower; and (6) capital cost recovery of the installed plant. Most elements of the unit costs tend to increase as the world price of copper rises. In periods of price retreats, some elements such as leaching agents and feed stock have dropped below their peak period costs. Electric power and water costs tend to be relatively stable, but are generally quite high in Chile due to geography and the desert-like climate, which affects most regions where mines have been exploited.

As the Chilean economy is very closely tied to copper, many of our direct costs fluctuate based on the price of copper. At certain copper prices, the Company estimates that it could produce 1 lb. of copper for as low as $1.00 per pound. The following table illustrates the costs associated with producing one pound of copper, based on our current budget estimates for the Ana Maria plant (assuming copper price of $3.00/lb. ):

Cost Element	Unit Cost
Copper Ore/Mining Operations – Average 2.0% grade	0.59
Receiving, Scaling & Crushing	0.11
Leaching and Processing Operations	0.46
Administration	0.10
Sales Expenses	0.02
Maintenance	0.05
Depreciation of Plant & Equipment	0.15
TOTAL COST PER POUND – US$	1.48

Crushing Operations

The crushing operation begins with weighing ore on bascules located in the ore collection area. The bascules weigh the totality of the ore that is received in order to provide an accurate weight. Samples are then taken in the trucks in order to define the ore humidity and an initial grade. Once samples are taken, the ore is moved to the loadout bin, which has a capacity of 25 tons. The ore is then delivered to a 1.2m x 1.8m jaw crusher by way of a pneumatic feeder and a conveyor belt, and the crushed ore is discharged on a conveyor belt to a vibrating sieve that has two screening decks, one consisting of half-inch screens and the other a 6mm mesh. Ore larger than 0.5 inches is delivered to a crusher with a 4.5 inch cone, which reduces the ore and returns to the sieve.

Ore smaller than 0.5 inches and larger than 6mm is used in our heap leaching operations. All ore smaller than 6mm is weighed and used in our agitation leaching operations.

Heap Leaching Operations

The heap leach sites are located within 3,940 feet in distance and 99 feet in height relation to our solvent extraction sites. The area in which heaps are located is 132 x 164 feet and consists of 4 heaps. The area is leveled with an inclination of 5% and is compacted with granulated millet. To waterproof the heaps, their surface is coated with a 0.75cm thick high-density polyethylene pad that is fused at the joints.

This ore used in our heap leaching operations should have an estimated grade of 1.5% of soluble copper and an acid consumption average of 5 to 8 kg of acid per kg of copper extracted. Each heap should measure 40m wide x 50m long and 2m high, resulting in an approximate capacity of 5000 tons of ore per heap. In addition, a 2 inch drenaflex system is installed on the fine ore that was spread to prevent damage to the pad and to ensure proper drainage of the heap.

The ore from the heaps is irrigated with a solution of refined acidity ranging from 10 to 15 grams of mineral acid per liter under a drip irrigation system, and an irrigation rate of about 8 liters per square meter per hour. This delivers approximately 280 liters of pregnant leach solution, or PLS, per minute with an average of 4 to 5 grams per liter of copper, an acidity of 2 grams per liter of acid and a pH of 2. A heap with a copper concentration of less than 4 grams per liter will proceed to recirculation of the PLS to re-supply the heap with the same solution to obtain a concentration of 4 or more grams of copper per liter.

The next stage requires 1,700 cubic meter pools, a refinery, a 1,200 cubic meter recirculating pool and a 600 cubic meter pool containing PLS. The irrigated solution in heaps with approximately 4 grams of copper per liter will be stored in a 1,100 cubic meter PLS heap pool from which it will be sent to the solvent extraction facility. All solutions transferred between the heaps and the pools of the plant travel through 110mm high-density pipe.

The ore remains in the heaps for approximately 60 days, and is expected to recover 70% of content copper. The heaps are then disassembled and the ore is sent to the run-of-mine heap which will flush the mineral indefinitely to reach copper recovery levels from 85 % to 90%.

The water for our heap leaching operations is collected from an irrigation canal. We collect water for our operations at a rate of approximately 1,200 liters per minute for approximately 4.5 hours per week.

Solvent Extraction Operations

The feed stock for our solvent extraction operations is collected from two pools which are located at the plant at a height about 5 meters above the solvent extraction facility. One pool has a capacity of 250 cubic meters, and the second, which receives solution, has a capacity of 200 cubic meters. To begin the extraction process, PLS is mixed with a 20% extractant solution, or organic, in an agitator with a capacity of approximately 4.5 cubic meters. The copper minerals in the solution settle and are separated from the solution. The raffinate, or remaining liquid following collection of extracted minerals, produced in the extraction stage is driven by gravity to two 9 cubic meter tanks and processed through a paraffin filter system to catch any remaining particles of organic. The raffinate is ultimately pumped back to the heaps, where it is irrigated through in order to collect copper and be re-introduced to our solvent extraction facility.

To wash the organic from the copper minerals in the settled solution, the separated solution is pumped into two 4.5 cubic meter agitators where the 20% organic extractant solution is mixed with a cleaning water solution with an acidity of approximately 20 grams per liter. To extract copper from the cleaned and loaded organic solution, there are two agitators where the 20% organic extractant is mixed with electrolytes produced in our electrowinning process, with an acidity of approximately 200 grams per liter of acid and a total of approximately 4.5 cubic meters. The mixture is allowed to settle and the copper-rich electrolytes are separated and pumped to our electrowinning cells and the discharged organic material is sent back through the extraction process.

Electrowinning Operations

The electrowin circuit has 2 parallel banks of cells, each with 16 cells. Each cell has a capacity of 3 cubic meters, and each bank can contain a maximum of 16 cathodes. The circuit is capable of delivering approximately 120 metric tons of copper cathodes per month when operating at maximum capacity, and each cell bank has a rectifier with a capacity up to 10,000 amperes and 32 volts. Each starter cathode is 0.88mm thick and measures 90cm by 90cm. When operating at full capacity, we are able to harvest finished copper cathodes in ten day cycles.

The following table illustrates the projected copper deposition of our Ana Maria facility per harvest operating at full capacity:

Daily deposition per cell	132 Kg
Daily deposition per cathode	8.2 Kg
Total daily production	2,109 Kg
Total monthly production per bank	63,261 Kg
Total monthly production of the facility	126,522 Kg
Harvest in days	10 Days
Metric tons per harvest	40.960 Metric Tons

Raw Materials

Source material, including tailings and ore, sulfuric acid and water are the principal raw materials used in our current operations. While the properties we have obtained rights to each have their own mineral deposits, we will procure the majority (approximately 88%) of our source material from third parties by purchasing rights to such source material at smaller sites, where it is less economical for larger open-pit mining companies to operate, due largely to the transportation costs associated with moving source materials to fixed processing sites.

While the process of extracting copper from tailings requires the use of sulfuric acid, we utilize a methodology which allows us to extract the sulfuric acid that is contained in the tailings which are either located at our MINI plant site or which are created through the use of our copper extraction process on ore, and then reuse the sulfuric acid to extract copper from future source material. This recycling process helps us minimize our costs of raw materials.

Our operations require significant quantities of water for mining, ore processing and related support facilities. Our operations are in areas where water is scarce and competition among users for continuing access to water is significant.

Continuous operation at our MINI plants is dependent on our ability to maintain our water rights and claims and defeat claims adverse to our current water uses in legal proceedings. At present our only MINI plant that is operational is our Matancilla facility. At this facility, we have obtained the right to collect water from the river that flows through the property to satisfy all of the operational needs of the facility.

Our costs for sulfuric acid and electric power vary. However, at present, sulfuric acid costs approximately $190 per metric ton, and electricity costs us between approximately $2.00 and $4.80 per kilowatt hour.

Research and Development

We do not currently engage in any significant levels of research and development and do not have any employees who are solely dedicated to research and development. We do, however, continually monitor industry developments in the mining and processing industries and we regularly analyze our own procedures and methods to further refine and improve them.

Our Competition

We currently have no competitors in Chile that extract copper exclusively from smaller producers or abandoned tailings sites utilizing MINI plants like we do. Although we can provide no assurances that other mining companies will not enter the market of extracting copper utilizing the MINI plant concept, we believe that we will have a competitive advantage over any new market entrant as a result of our ongoing operational experience.

There are, however, other companies in Chile producing copper from tailings. One such company, MVC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of a Canadian publicly traded company, Amerigo Resources Ltd., produces copper and molybdenum concentrates from tailings located in the world’s largest underground copper mine, Codelco’s El Teniente mine. MVC is currently treating all fresh tailings from El Teniente’s present production and has the right to treat the higher grade tailings from a 200 million ton in situ tailings impoundment located next to MVC’s plant. MVC, however, processes a different type of copper ore using a flotation process for copper concentrate, as opposed to our process which utilizes cathodes.

We do not believe that MVC represents significant competition for us for the following reasons:

The operations of MVC are in a separate geographic region from where we are currently operating or where we expect to expand our operations;
MVC conducts its operations through large capital expenditure at one production site, whereas our business model focuses on conducting operations at multiple production sites with small targeted capital investments to each site; and
MVC is focused and dependent on a single customer, whereas our business model combines self-provided source material combined with access to third-party source material.

Intellectual Property

We do not possess any material intellectual property.

Environmental Matters

Chile’s environmental regulations are administered by the Comisión Nacional del Medio Ambiente, or CONAMA. Typically, copper producers and other similar companies are required to prepare and submit environmental impact studies detailing the impact of the copper reclamation and production on the surrounding environment, and to adhere to other environmental regulations. We have obtained written confirmation from CONAMA that our operations fall outside the scope of these environmental regulations because our MINI plant facilities do not produce in excess of 5,000 metric tons of copper per year from ore source material.

Regulation

Our mineral reclamation activities are not regulated by any specific governmental agency, as our activities are not in the public domain. The general policies of the mining industry, however, are administered by the Chilean Ministry of Mining and its departments, and our activities are governed by the Chilean Mining Code, Decree of Mining Security and general labor, commercial, health and environmental regulations. We believe that we are in compliance with all laws and regulations that are applicable to our operations.

Our Employees

As of March 31, 2012, we employed 32 full-time employees. The following table sets forth the number of our full-time employees by function.

Function	Number of Employees
General and administration	5
Executive Officers	4
Engineering/Technicians	11
Operations	12
TOTAL	32

Insurance

We maintain property insurance for our premises located in Santiago, Chile where our executive offices are located. We also maintain property insurance for our automobiles. We do not maintain business interruption insurance or key-man life insurance. We believe our insurance coverage is customary and standard of companies of comparable size in comparable industries in Chile.

We do not maintain property insurance for our MINI plants. Because of the modular nature of our MINI plant facilities and the fact that we do not erect any permanent structures at these facilities, we have determined that premiums payable for property insurance would be an inefficient use of our operating capital.

Seasonality

The price of copper on the LME fluctuates during the year, with prices tending to be stronger in the April to September period, and weaker in the October to March period, subject to global supply and demand.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS

Our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have a working capital deficit of $5,172,118 and have incurred a net loss of $13,102,212 for the cumulative period from January 24, 2008 (inception) to March 31, 2012, and have had no significant source of revenue. The future of our Company is dependent upon future profitable operations from the extraction of copper and the growth of our mineral properties. Our management will need to seek additional financing in the future. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

We have a limited operating history upon which to evaluate our potential for future success.

Our operating subsidiary, Minera, was initially formed as a closed capital corporation (sociedad anónima cerrada) on January 2, 2008 and first began processing copper from its first operational MINI plant in April, 2009. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early stage companies like ours in an evolving market, such as unforeseen capital requirements, failure of market acceptance, failure to establish business relationships, and competitive disadvantages as against larger and more established companies. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks and uncertainties, our business will be materially harmed.

If we fail to effectively manage our growth and expand our operations, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

Our future success depends on our ability to expand our business. Since starting construction in the fall of 2008, we have successfully completed the first MINI plant, designated as the Ana Maria plant, located about 30 kilometers northeast of the town of Illapel, in the mining district of Matancilla. Construction of our second MINI plant, Santa Filomena, is approximately 75% complete, and we have begun preparatory work at one additional site. We anticipate the construction of additional MINI plants over the next 18 to 24 months. We have identified several additional sites suitable for our MINI plants.

As discussed in greater detail under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Overall Liquidity and Capital Resources,” our ability to effectively expand our operations is dependant on our ability to obtain sufficient funds, through a financing, bank loans or a combination thereof. We estimate that we will need approximately $3.0 million to fully execute on our business plan. However, even if we are able to obtain these funds, our ability to commence operations at additional sites and establish additional capacity and increase the volume of copper is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including:

delays and cost overruns as a result of a number of factors, many of which may be beyond our control, such as problems with equipment vendors and manufacturing services provided by third-party manufacturers;
the inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, required approvals by relevant government authorities;
diversion of significant management attention and other resources; and
failure to execute our expansion plan effectively.

To accommodate our growth, we will need to implement a variety of new and upgraded operational and financial systems, procedures, and controls, including improvements to our accounting and other internal management systems, by dedicating additional resources to our reporting and accounting function, and improvements to our record keeping systems. We will also need to recruit more personnel and train and manage our growing employee base. Furthermore, our management will be required to maintain and expand our relationships with our existing customer and find new customers for our products. There is no guarantee that our management can succeed in maintaining and expanding these relationships.

The expansion of our business may place significant strain on our personnel, management, financial systems, and operational infrastructure, and may impede our ability to meet any increased demand for our products. Our business growth also presents numerous risks and challenges, which are difficult to quantify but could be significant, including the costs associated with such growth.

If we encounter any of the risks described above, or if we are otherwise unable to establish or successfully operate additional capacity or increase our output, we may be unable to grow our business and revenues, reduce our operating costs, maintain our competitiveness or improve our profitability and, consequently, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects will be adversely affected.

Extended declines in the market prices of copper could adversely affect our earnings and cash flows. Fluctuations in the market price of copper can cause significant volatility in our financial performance and can adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

Our earnings and cash flows are affected significantly by the market price of copper. The world market price of copper has fluctuated historically and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control. Copper prices declined significantly during the latter part of 2008 from their recent historically high levels and, while prices have steadily recovered, exchange inventories remain at significantly higher levels than the first half of 2008. After averaging $3.61 per pound for the first nine months of 2008, the LME spot copper prices declined to a four-year low of $1.26 per pound in December 2008. The LME spot copper price closed at $3.52 per pound on July 5, 2012. An extended decline in the market price of copper could (1) adversely affect our earnings and cash flows, (2) adversely affect our ability to repay our debt and meet our other fixed obligations, and (3) depress the trading price of our common stock.

In addition, substantially all of our copper cathode sales will be provisionally priced at the time of shipment, subject to final pricing, at a specified future date based on the LME prices on that date. Accordingly, in times of falling copper prices, our revenues during a quarter are negatively affected by lower prices received for sales priced at current market rates and also from a decrease related to the final pricing of provisionally priced sales in prior periods.

We estimate that our MINI plant technology will allow us to break even at copper prices as low as $1.00 per pound. If the market price for the copper cathodes we produce falls below $1.00 per pound for a sustained period of time, we may have to further revise our operating plans, including curtailing production, reducing operating costs and capital expenditures and discontinuing certain exploration and development programs. We may be unable to decrease our costs in an amount sufficient to offset reductions in revenues, and may incur losses.

World copper prices have historically fluctuated widely. During the five years ended December 31, 2011, the LME daily closing spot prices ranged from $1.26 to $4.60 per pound for copper. World copper prices are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including:

the strength of the U.S. economy and the economies of other industrialized and developing nations, including China, which has become the largest consumer of refined copper in the world;
available supplies of copper from mine production and inventories;
sales by holders and producers of copper;
demand for industrial products containing copper;
investment activity, including speculation, in copper as a commodity;
the availability and cost of substitute materials; and
currency exchange fluctuations, including the relative strength or weakness of the U.S. dollar.

Disruptions in the capital and credit markets related to the current national and worldwide financial crisis, which may continue indefinitely or intensify, could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, or those of our customers and suppliers.

The current disruptions in the capital and credit markets may continue indefinitely or intensify, and adversely impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, or those of our customers and suppliers. Disruptions in the capital and credit markets as a result of uncertainty, changing or increased regulation, reduced alternatives or failures of significant financial institutions could adversely affect our access to liquidity needed to conduct or expand our businesses or conduct acquisitions or make other discretionary investments, as well as our ability to effectively hedge our currency or interest rate. Such disruptions may also adversely impact the capital needs of our customers and suppliers, which, in turn, could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

A surplus in the copper market could lower the market price of copper, which would adversely affect our results of operations.

According to data from the International Copper Study Group, the refined copper market balance for 2012 is expected to show a deficit of approximately 240,000 metric tons. However, a surplus in the copper market could cause the market price of copper to decrease or make it difficult for us to sell all of the copper that we extract, and thereby could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

We may require additional capital and we may not be able to obtain it on acceptable terms or at all.

We believe that our current cash, reinvested cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our present cash needs. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If these resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. Our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties, including:

investors’ perception of, and demand for, securities of Chilean-based companies involved in the mining sector;
conditions of the U.S. and other capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds;
our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows; and
economic, political and other conditions in Chile.

Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our business is subject to operational risks that are generally outside of our control and could adversely affect our business.

Mineral reclamation sites, like the sites where we will locate our MINI plants, by their nature are subject to many operational risks and factors that are generally outside of our control and could adversely affect our business, operating results and cash flows. These operational risks and factors include the following:

unanticipated ground and water conditions;
adverse claims to water rights and shortages of water to which we have rights;
adjacent land ownership that results in constraints on current or future operations;
geological problems, including earthquakes and other natural disasters;
metallurgical and other processing problems;
the occurrence of unusual weather or operating conditions and other force majeure events;
lower than expected ore grades or recovery rates;
accidents;
delays in the receipt of or failure to receive necessary government permits;
the results of litigation, including appeals of agency decisions;
uncertainty of exploration and development;
delays in transportation;
interruption of energy supply;
labor disputes;
inability to obtain satisfactory insurance coverage; and
the failure of equipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications or expectations.

Continuation of our production is dependent on the availability of a sufficient water supply to support our operations.

Our operations require significant quantities of water for mineral reclamation, ore processing and related support facilities. Our operations are in areas where water is scarce and competition among users for continuing access to water is significant. Continuous production is dependent on our ability to maintain our water rights and claims and defeat claims adverse to our current water uses in legal proceedings.

We cannot predict the potential outcome of any future legal proceedings on our water rights, claims and uses. The loss of some or all water rights for any of our sites, in whole or in part, or shortages of water to which we have rights could require us to curtail or shut down production and could prevent us from pursuing expansion opportunities. Additionally, we have not yet secured adequate water rights to support all of our potential expansion projects, and our inability to secure those rights could prevent us from pursuing some of those opportunities.

An interruption of energy supply could adversely affect our operations and increased production costs could reduce our profitability and cash flow.

Our operations and construction projects require significant amounts of energy. Our principal energy source is electricity. We access electricity from the national power grid and through onsite backup generators that are diesel powered. A disruption in the transmission of energy, inadequate energy transmission infrastructure, or the termination of any of our energy supply contracts could interrupt our energy supply and adversely affect our operations.

Electricity represents a significant portion of our production costs. An inability to procure sufficient electricity at reasonable prices could adversely affect our profits, cash flow and growth opportunities. Our production costs are also affected by the prices of commodities we consume or use in our operations, such as sulfuric acid, steel, reagents, liners, explosives and diluents. The prices of such commodities are influenced by supply and demand trends affecting the mining industry in general and other factors outside our control and such prices are at times subject to volatile movements. Future increases in the cost of these commodities could make our operations less profitable. Increases in the costs of commodities that we consume or use may also significantly affect the capital costs of new projects.

We could incur substantial costs in order to comply with, or to address any violations under, environmental laws that could significantly increase our operating expenses and reduce our operating income.

We are subject to Chile’s comprehensive statutory and regulatory environmental requirements relating to, among others:

the protection of our employees’ health and safety;
the acceptance, storage, treatment, handling and disposal of hazardous waste;
the discharge of materials into the air;
the management and treatment of wastewater and storm water;
the remediation of soil and groundwater contamination; and
the restoration of natural resource damages.

We can give you no assurance that we will be in material compliance or avoid fines, penalties and expenses associated with compliance issues in the future.

We are required to obtain, and must comply with, a specific resolution of the Chilean Ministry of Health issued to us in order to conduct our operations. Failure to comply with the resolution, or violations thereto if not remedied, could result in our incurring fines. Further, our operations are conducted primarily outdoors and as such, depending on the nature of the ground cover, could involve the risk of releases of wastes and other regulated materials to the soil during transportation and, possibly, to the groundwater.

In Chile, environmental statutes and regulations have changed rapidly in recent years by requiring greater and more expensive protective measures, and it is possible that we will be subject to more stringent environmental standards in the future. For these reasons and others, we cannot accurately predict future capital expenditures for pollution control equipment, remediation, or other initiatives that may be required. However, we expect that environmental standards will become increasingly more stringent and that the expenditures necessary to comply with those heightened standards will correspondingly increase.

In general, we do not carry environmental impairment liability insurance because we believe the cost of any premiums outweighs the benefit of coverage and that the current legal regime applicable to our operations protects us from any significant liability. If, however, we were to incur significant liability for environmental damage, such as a claim for soil or groundwater remediation, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

Certain of our existing stockholders have substantial influence over our company, and their interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other stockholders.

Mr. Jorge Osvaldo Orellana Orellana, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President, beneficially owns approximately 38.18% of our outstanding voting securities. As a result, he has significant influence over our business, including decisions regarding mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, election of directors and other significant corporate actions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a future change of control, which could deprive our stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our Company and might reduce the price of our shares.

Our management has identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which if not properly remediated could result in material misstatements in our future interim and annual financial statements and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and the price of our ordinary shares.

The SEC as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX 404, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such company’s internal control over financial reporting in its annual report, which must also contain management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the independent registered public accounting firm auditing the financial statements of a company that is not a non-accelerated filer under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act must also attest to the operating effectiveness of the company’s internal controls.

A report of our management is included under Item 9A of this report. Our management has concluded that that our internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012 were not effective due to certain material weaknesses identified in Item 9A. Our independent registered public accounting firm was not required to attest to the operating effectiveness of our internal controls since we are a non-accelerated filer.

We are in the process of implementing certain initiatives to address these weaknesses as described under Item 9A. However, there is no guarantee that these initiatives will remediate the weaknesses completely. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could result in us not being able to accurately report our financial results, prevent or detect fraud or provide timely and reliable financial and other information pursuant to the reporting obligations we have as a public company, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. This could further reduce investors’ confidence in our reported financial information, which in turn could result in lawsuits being filed against us by our stockholders, otherwise harm our reputation or negatively impact the trading price of our common stock.

RISKS RELATED TO DOING BUSINESS IN CHILE

Chilean political and economic conditions have a direct impact on our business.

All of our assets are located in Chile and all of our revenues are derived in Chile. Accordingly, our business, financial condition and results of operations depend to a considerable extent upon economic conditions in Chile. Future developments in the Chilean economy could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations and may impair our ability to proceed with our strategic plan of business. In addition, such developments may impact the market price of our securities.

The Chilean government has exercised and continues to exercise a substantial influence over many aspects of the private sector and has changed monetary, fiscal, tax and other policies to influence the Chilean economy. We have no control over and cannot predict how governmental intervention and policies will affect the Chilean economy or, directly and indirectly, our operations and revenues. Our operations and financial condition, as well as the market price of our securities, may be adversely affected by changes in policies involving exchange controls, taxation, and other matters. In addition, our operations and financial condition, as well as the market price of our securities, may be adversely affected by factors such as:

fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
base interest rate fluctuations; and
other political, diplomatic, social and economic developments in or affecting Chile.

Additionally, in recent years the growth of the Chilean economy has slowed from the rates achieved in the 1990s. We cannot predict whether the Chilean economy will grow or decline in the future or if future developments in the Chilean economy will materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Your ability to enforce civil remedies against our officers and directors in Chile may be limited.

Our operating subsidiary, Minera, is a closed capital corporation (sociedad anónima cerrada), organized under the laws of Chile. All of our directors and executive officers reside outside the United States in Chile, and all of our assets and the assets of these persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States on, or bring actions or enforce foreign judgments against, us or these persons in U.S. courts.

In addition, we have been advised by our Chilean legal counsel, Guevara & Cia, that no treaty exists between the United States and Chile for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments. There is also doubt as to the enforceability in Chilean courts of judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Chilean courts, however, have enforced judgments rendered in the United States by virtue of the legal principles of reciprocity and comity, subject to the review in Chile of the U.S. judgment in order to ascertain whether certain basic principles of due process and public policy have been respected, without reviewing the merits of the subject matter of the case. Lastly, we have been advised by our Chilean legal counsel that there is doubt as to the enforceability in original actions in Chilean courts of liabilities predicated solely upon U.S. federal securities laws.

RISKS RELATED TO THE MARKET FOR OUR STOCK

We do not intend to pay dividends on shares of our common stock for the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on shares of our common stock. We intend to retain any future earnings to fund the operation and expansion of our business and, therefore, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on shares of our common stock in the foreseeable future.

The market price of our stock may be affected by low volume.

Although our common stock is traded on the OTC Pink Exchange, the trading volume of our common stock has generally been low. Limited trading volume will subject our shares of common stock to greater price volatility and may make it difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares of common stock at a price that is attractive to them.

Certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation may make it more difficult for a third party to effect a change-of-control.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by our board of directors without further action by the stockholders. These terms may include voting rights including the right to vote as a series on particular matters, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion rights, redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. The issuance of any preferred stock could diminish the rights of holders of our common stock, and therefore could reduce the value of such common stock. In addition, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with, or sell assets to, a third party. The ability of our board of directors to issue preferred stock could make it more difficult, delay, discourage, prevent or make it more costly to acquire or effect a change-in-control, which in turn could prevent our stockholders from recognizing a gain in the event that a favorable offer is extended and could materially and negatively affect the market price of our common stock.

We may be subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define so-called “penny stocks” to be an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. If our common stock becomes a “penny stock,” we may become subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the Penny Stock Rule. This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Penny Stock Rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.

There can be no assurance that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock were exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.

PROPERTIES.

Our executive offices are located at Jorge Canning 1410, Ñuñoa, Santiago, Chile. We are provided space at this location by Contratista en Geologia, Mineria y Construccion Jorge Orellana E.I.R.L., or Geominco, a company wholly-owned by our Chief Executive Officer, Jorge Osvaldo Orellana Orellana. At present, we do not pay any rent for this office space.

Additionally, we hold an interest in several groups of properties, as described below:

District	Plant
Matancilla	Ana Maria
Salamanca	Santa Filomena
Combarbala	Gabriella

At present, only our MINI plant located in Matancilla is material to our ongoing operations. We anticipate that we will construct additional MINI plants and commence operations at our properties located in Salamanca in August 2012 and Combarbala in 2013.

The following descriptions are of our properties which are material to our operations currently and through the next twelve months.

Matancilla

Our Matancilla property is located in the Coquimbo Region (Region IV) of central Chile, South America. Our Ana Maria facility is located on our Matancilla property. The property comprises 21 concessions totalling 4,050 hectares situated in the Illapel municipality of the province of Choapa. This property is located approximately 170 km southeast of the city of La Serena, the largest city and capital of the Coquimbo Region. La Serena is located about 400 km north of Santiago, the capital city of Chile.

Access to the Matancilla property is by 255 km of paved and gravel road from La Serena, the capital of the Coquimbo Region. The Pan American Highway (Highway 5) leads 200 km south along the Pacific Coast from La Serena to the town of Puerto Oscuro. A second paved highway (Route D-71) then leads first east and then southeast for about 73 km, past the towns of Canela Baja and Cocoú to the turnoff for the project near the edge of the Las Chinchillas National Reserve. The town of Matancilla and the Ana Maria complex are reached by about 15 km of gravel road (Routes D-797 and D-793) that runs north and east from the Route D-71 turnoff. All roads are operational year-round.

The Matancilla property consists of 16 exploration and exploitation concessions owned by us, totaling 2,500 hectares. Nine of the 16 concessions are exploitation concessions, and the remaining seven are exploration concessions. All concessions are under application. The annual license fees for all exploration and exploitation concessions are paid through March 2011. We own the surface rights to the concession hosting the Ana Maria complex (RELA 1 1/10), but only hold the subsurface rights to the other concessions. The property has not yet been legally surveyed. The concessions are listed in the table below.

Concession Name	Registration Number (ROL)	Hectares	Concession Type

Matancilla 2		100	Exploration in application
Total		2,500

We have not conducted, nor do we intend to conduct, an evaluation of the proven or probable reserves related to the mining concessions located at the Matancilla property. The majority of the source material processed at the Ana Maria plant will be ore from our own mines.

Because of the planned process plant throughput of less than 5,000 metric tons per month at our Matancilla property, no environmental permits are required by the Chilean government.

With respect to exploration concessions, in Chile the titleholder has the right to carry out all forms of exploration activities within the area of the concession. Exploration concessions can overlap, but only the titleholder with the earliest dated exploration concession over the area as indicated by their identification number, or ROL, can exercise these rights. For each exploration concession, the titleholder must pay an annual fee of US$1.10 per hectare to the Chilean Treasury. Exploration concessions have a duration of two years. At the end of this period, the concession may be renewed for two more years, in which case at least 50% of the surface area must be renounced; or converted, in total or in part, into exploitation concessions.

With respect to exploitation concessions, in Chile the titleholder has the right to explore and exploit the minerals located within the concession area and to take ownership of the extracted minerals. Exploration concessions can overlap, but only the titleholder with the earliest dated exploration concession over the area can exercise these rights. The titleholder must pay an annual fee to the Chilean Treasury of approximately US$5.80 per hectare. Exploitation concessions are of indefinite duration, and therefore do not expire.

Concession owners do not necessarily have surface rights to the underlying land, however they do have the right to explore or exploit the concession.

We have access to sufficient sources of power and water (potable and for use in our copper reclamation process) for our expected operations at our Matancilla property.

Historical Operations on Property

The Ana Maria flotation plant began operations in 1968, processing copper and gold mineralization from the nearby Sara and Nueva Verde small-scale copper mines. The town of Matancilla was established to support the nearby mining activity and the operation of the Ana Maria plant. The plant was owned and operated by Mr. Geraldo Toro Araya. Tailings from the plant were diverted into two tailings dams, the first located south and downhill of the plant and named Ana Maria Sur, and the second located north and slightly uphill from the plant and named Ana Maria Norte. The Ana Maria Sur tailings dam served from initial production until 1987, when tailings were deposited into Ana Maria Norte until the plant ceased operation around 1999.

Capacity

Following an increase in capacity between May and July 2010, we expect that the Ana Maria plant will be able to produce 2,225 metric tons per year of copper cathodes, and that it will be expandable to 7,500 metric tons per year. The plant is still in the commissioning phase as of the date of this report and the first cathodes are being produced.

Salamanca

Our Salamanca property is located in the Coquimbo Region (Region IV) of central Chile, South America. Our Filomena facility is located on this property. This property comprises private land holdings, or the Araya Lands, which we own that host our Filomena plant and tailings deposits, and 17 concessions that host our hard-rock prospects, together which total approximately 3,762 hectares. The property situated in the municipality of Salamanca in the province of Choapa. The property is located approximately 200 km southeast of the city of La Serena, the largest city and capital of the Coquimbo Region. La Serena is located about 400 km north of Santiago, the capital city of Chile.

Access to the Salamanca property is by 315 km of paved and gravel road from La Serena, the capital of the Coquimbo Region. The Pan American Highway (Highway 5) leads 200 km south along the Pacific Coast from La Serena to the town of Puerto Oscuro. A second paved highway (Routes D-71 and D-81) then leads first east and then southeast for about 103 km, past the towns of Canela Baja and Illapel to the town of Salamanca. The Filomena plant and Arboleda tailings deposit are reached by about 10 km of paved and gravel road that runs east from the Route D-81 turnoff. All roads are operational year-round. A number of daily scheduled jet air services fly between La Serena and Santiago.

The Salamanca property consists of the Araya Lands on which we hold the surface rights only, and 17 exploration and exploitation concessions owned by us, totaling 3,738 hectares. The Araya Lands consist of four parcels totaling approximately 24 hectares. We purchased the Araya Lands from Gerardo Jaime Toro Araya on February 4, 2009 for 100 million Chilean pesos, or approximately $187,000. Five of the 17 concessions are exploitation concessions, and the remaining 12 are exploration concessions. All concessions are under application. The annual license fees for all exploration and exploitation concessions are paid through March 2011. We own the surface rights to the properties hosting the Filomena complex, but only hold the subsurface rights to the other concessions. The property has not yet been legally surveyed. The properties and concessions are listed in the following table.

Concession Name	Registration Number (ROL)	Hectares	Concession Type

Total		3,778

We have not conducted, nor do we intend to conduct, an evaluation of the proven or probable reserves related to the mining concessions located at the Salamanca property. The majority of the source material processed at the Filomena plant will be ore from our own mines.

We acquired the Araya Lands that host the historical Filomena plant and the Arboleda Planta tailings deposit in February 2008. We applied for the 17 concessions that with the Araya Lands make up the Salamanca property from July 2008 to March 2009. These concessions are currently under application.

No encumbrances are registered on the properties or concessions and they are not affected by the payment of royalties or other obligations in favor of third parties. Because of the planned process plant throughput of less than 5,000 metric tons per month, no environmental permits are required by the Chilean government.

Plant, Equipment, and Cost of Property

At present, we have commenced construction of our MINI plant facility at the Salamanca property. We anticipate that the plant will be complete and we will commence operations in early-2012. As mentioned elsewhere in this report, we estimate that it will cost approximately $3.0 million to construct the MINI plant.

Historical Operations on Property

Small-scale exploration and mining has occurred in the Salamanca property area from the early 20^th century, and likely long before. Copper and gold prospect pits and workings occur in many locations throughout the property area.

Remnants of the historical Filomena processing plant occur on the property, but no information remains regarding the history of the plant. Stockpiles and the tailings deposits are located to the east of the plant. The plant likely processed copper material from local small-scale mines. Production records are not available for the plant, but approximately 9,000 metric tons of material is considered reasonable based upon recent volume estimates of the tailings deposit. The grade of the material processed at the plant is not known.

Development and Capacity of Property

Existing infrastructure at the Salamanca property includes the remnants of the historical Filomena flotation plant, that we are modifying to include a solvent-extraction/electrowinning circuit. This modification is being constructed as of the date of this report. We are currently assembling a processing plant of the same type as the plant that is currently under construction at our Matancilla property, about 35 km northwest of the Filomena complex. Our plant at Filomena is located close to the Arboleda Planta tailings deposit and it is being built on the foundations of the historical plant. We expect that the plant will be able to produce 1,311 metric tons per year of copper cathodes, and it will be expandable to 7,500 metric tons per year. The plant will aim at treating a wide range of materials including tailings material and run-of-mine material from various small-scale producing mines in the region. In time, we may have an opportunity of processing mineralization sourced from small-scale workings in the vicinity of the property. These workings are held by third-parties, and there is no information currently available on potential tonnage, grade, or rate of supply of material from such workings. We have not yet undertaken any studies or testing to demonstrate acceptable metallurgical recoveries or operating costs for this plant. The plant is still in the commissioning phase and the first cathodes are being produced as of the date of this report.

Combarbalá

Location

Our Combarbalá property is located in the Coquimbo Region (Region IV) of central Chile, South America. The property comprises 12 concessions totaling 2,900 hectares situated in the municipality of Combarbalá in the province of Limarí. Our Gabriella facility is located on our Combarbalá property. The property is located approximately 140 km southeast of the city of La Serena, the largest city and capital of the Coquimbo Region. La Serena is located about 400 km north of Santiago, the capital city of Chile.

Access to the Combarbalá property is by 245 km of paved and gravel road from La Serena, the capital of the Coquimbo Region. The Pan American Highway (Highway 5) leads 200 km south along the Pacific Coast from La Serena to the town of Puerto Oscuro. Paved highway (Route D-71) then leads first east and then northeast for about 74 km, past the towns of Canela Baja and Los Pozos to the town of Combarbalá. The Gabriella tailings deposits are reached by about 6 km of paved road (D-605) that runs north and west from the Route D-71 turnoff. All roads are operational year-round.

The Combarbalá property consists of 12 exploration and exploitation concessions owned by the Company, totaling 2,900 hectares. Two of the 12 concessions are exploitation concessions, and the remaining 10 are exploration concessions. All concessions are under application. The annual license fees for all exploration and exploitation concessions are paid through March 2011. We own the subsurface rights to the concessions and do not hold the surface rights. The property has not yet been legally surveyed. The concessions are listed in the following table.

Concession Name	Registration Number (ROL)	Hectares	Concession Type
RELA 2 1/10	2149	100	Exploitation in application

Total		2,900

We have not conducted, nor do we intend to conduct, an evaluation of the proven or probable reserves related to the mining concessions located at the Combarbalá property. The majority of the source material processed at the Gabriella plant will be ore purchased from third-parties.

We acquired the Rela 2 1/10 and Rela 7 1/20 concessions that host the Gabriella tailings deposits in December 2008. We applied for the remaining 10 concessions that make up the Combarbalá property from March to June 2009. These concessions are currently under application.

No encumbrances are registered on the concessions and they are not affected by the payment of royalties or other obligations in favor of third parties.

Because of the planned process plant throughput of less than 5,000 metric tons per month, no environmental permits are required by the Chilean government.

Current Operations

At present, we have not commenced construction of our MINI plant facility at the Combarbala property. We anticipate that we will construct the plant and commence operations in 2013. As mentioned elsewhere in this report, we estimate that it will cost approximately $3.0 million to construct the MINI plant. Once we begin construction, we will evaluate the Combarbala property’s sources of power and water.

Historical Operations of Property

A flotation plant operated by ENAMI commenced operation at Combarbalá in 1976 to process copper ore from local small-scale mines. In 1979, Compania Minera Cerro Centinela took possession of the plant and processed the material for gold, silver and copper. Tailings from the plant were diverted into two tailings dams, Combarbalá Este and Combarbalá Oeste.

The plant operated until September, 1984 when it was closed and dismantled. Only the cement foundations of the plant buildings remain as of the date of this report.

Development of Property

We intend to build a processing plant of the same type as the plant which is currently under construction, located at our Matancilla property, about 40 km south of the Combarbalá property. The plant will be able to produce 1,311 metric tons per year of copper cathodes, and expandable to 7,500 metric tons per year. The plant will aim at treating a wide range of materials including tailings material and run-of-mine material from various small-scale producing mines in the region.

ITEM 3.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

ITEM 7.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains certain forward-looking information. See “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” above for certain information concerning those forward looking statements. Our financial statements are prepared in U.S. dollars and in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Overview

We have obtained rights to conduct our mineral extraction operations at several different sites in and around the Illapel region, which is located in north-central Chile, approximately 400 kilometers north of Santiago. While these sites each have their own mineral deposits, we will procure the majority of our source material from non-traditional sources, including tailings, ore, or a combination thereof, by purchasing rights to such source material at smaller sites, where it is not economical for larger open-pit mining companies to operate, due largely to the transportation costs associated with moving source materials to fixed processing sites.

By utilizing MINI plants, we are able to build scalable, less expensive plants closer to source material deposits, resulting in significant processing savings. In addition, since smaller sites generally require higher copper prices, due to transportation costs, to operate profitably, these deposits can currently be purchased at a discount. By utilizing this strategy, we are able to reduce costs and operate profitably with smaller deposits.

The initial design capacity of each MINI plant is between approximately 1,200 and 2,000 metric tons of annual copper cathode output. Each MINI plant can be expanded on a modular basis in increments of 1,200 metric tons. We believe that the installed cost for a new 1,500 metric ton MINI plant, with the ability to produce tailings, at the average location, is about $3,000,000, or $2,000 per metric ton of annual capacity. Expanding the capacity of an existing MINI plant will cost between $400 and $800 per metric ton, depending on the site. Once the available source material deposits at and around the site of an existing MINI plant have been depleted, we anticipate that we can recover up to 70% of the cost of constructing a new MINI plant by relocating the support structures and processing equipment from the original MINI plant.

By reducing unit costs and carefully managing the average source material grade, we estimate that the MINI plant technology will allow us to break even at copper prices as low as US$1.00 per pound, or US$2,205 per metric ton. As of July 5, 2012, copper was trading at $7,760 per metric ton on the LME. As the price of finished copper has increased, however, there has been increased interest in raw copper ore from a number of “higher cost” producers that can increase their production volumes by buying ore in the market from small miners. Historically, these producers would not have been interested in raw ore purchases, as they could not generate profits at lower finished copper prices. However the increase in finished copper prices has made third-party purchase attractive for a number of additional producers. While the additional producers entering the market for minerals has not had an affect on the cost of the ore, it has put the miners into a stronger negotiating position on the sales of their ore. As such, the market now demands that producers must purchase the ore by providing payment upon delivery of the ore, as opposed to the historical practice of providing payment following the sale of the finished copper. This shift in the market has affected our need for working capital substantially, in that we now require approximately $1 million per MINI plant to purchase enough ore to operate at full capacity.

Initially, we plan to sell our copper cathodes to Madeco, the largest copper producer in Chile. Based on our discussions with Madeco, we expect that the selling price will be at a 3% discount from the price for copper, adjusted for purity, on the LME. We expect that sales will be made under purchase orders where cash will be paid upon delivery. We anticipate that this arrangement will provide us with immediate cash flow with which we will use to fund our current operations. In the future, as business volume grows, we may elect to sell our copper cathodes at the generally higher prices prevailing on the LME.

The table below summarizes the capacity of each of our current and planned MINI plants.

District	Plant	Initial Production	Initial Capacity/Year

Matancilla	Ana Maria	Operating	1,200 MT (1)
Salamanca	Santa Filomena	2^ndQuarter 2013	1,200 MT
Combarbala	Gabriella	2^ndQuarter 2014	1,200 MT

(1) Since we commenced operations at the Ana Maria plant, total annual capacity has been increased to 2,225 metric tons.

To date, the majority of our capital expenditures have been used for the construction of our facilities.

Net sales. We had net sales of $433,554 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, as compared with net sales of $188,227 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. During fiscal year 2011, we ran the Ana Maria facility at lower capacities due to the increased price of minerals. Our original business plan anticipated that third party mineral would be consigned to us, and that we would be required to pay for the cost of the mineral after their copper had been produced and sold. As the price of finished copper has increased to over $4.00 per pound during the fiscal year, there has been increased interest in raw copper ore from a number of “higher cost” producers that can increase their production volumes by buying ore in the market from small miners. The result has had no artificial affect on the cost of the ore, but it has put the miners into a stronger negotiating position on the sales of their ore. As a result, the market now demands that any producer must purchase the ore by providing payment at the delivery of the ore. This has substantially increased the amount of working capital required to ramp the plants. For a significant portion of the fiscal year 2012, while we saw an increase in net sales, we were working with limited capital resources and as a result operated at significantly lower capacities as well.

Cost of sales. Cost of sales includes direct costs associated with the sale of our products. Cost of sales was $1,496,867 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, as compared with $1,604,119 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The slight decrease in cost of sales was mainly due to higher material, labor and other direct costs allocated with production and higher amortization on plant and equipment in fiscal year 2011. The lower cost reflected in fiscal year 2012 is due to the fact that the Company was operating with limited resources and as a result we were forced to limit labor and other variable costs as much as possible.

Gross profit (loss). Gross profit (loss) is equal to the difference between our net sales and the cost of sales. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we had a gross loss of $1,063,313, as compared with a gross loss of $1,415,892 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The increase in gross loss was primarily due to the decrease in net sales and increase of cost of sales as discussed above.

Operating expenses. Our operating expenses consist of impairment of mining rights, salaries and wages, general and administrative expenses and professional fees.

Impairment of mining rights. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, impairment of mining rights was $380, as compared with $44,097 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. We have expensed mining rights, since we currently have no formal plans to exploit these mining rights.

Salaries and wages. Salaries and wages amounted to $160,232 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $156,318 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $3,914. As the price of ore continued to rise during both the 2011and 2012 fiscal years, we encountered working capital challenges and were forced to limit overhead costs. With limited production, we worked hard to minimize salaries and wages during both fiscal years.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of building maintenance and repairs, energy costs and general expenses. General and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 were $1,394,148, as compared with $1,267,064 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The increase of $127,084 was primarily due to the increased costs of being a publicly traded company and the required costs to support multiple sites and projects.

Professional fees. Professional fees consist of legal fees, accounting fees and other fees associated with our private placement transaction and operations as a public company. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, professional fees were $174,304, as compared with $676,305 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The decrease was due to the fact that the Company operated with limited resources during fiscal year 2012 and as a result minimized all professional fees. In addition, during fiscal year 2011 the Company commenced a private placement transaction which required additional professional fees to support and augment the Company during this time.

Other expense – interest. On May 12, 2010 (during fiscal year 2011), we commenced a private placement of common shares, warrants and make good warrants. The direct financing costs were allocated to the financial instruments (redeemable common stock and warrants), based upon their relative fair values. Amounts related to the warrants were recorded as deferred finance costs and amortized through charges to interest expense over the term of the arrangement using the effective interest method, while amounts related to the common stock directly offset the carrying value of the redeemable common stock. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we amortized deferred finance costs of $100,189, as compared to $81,825 in deferred finance costs during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Other expense – derivative financial instrument. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we recognized an expense for derivative financial instrument of $741,812, as compared to $3,356,192 expense for derivative financial instrument during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. On May 12, 2010, (during fiscal year 2011), we commenced a private placement of common shares, warrants and make good warrants. We valued our derivative financial instruments on inception (May 12, 2010) at fair value for $2,510,093. Derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and were recorded as liabilities. The fair value of the derivative liabilities increased to $5,866,285 as of March 31, 2011 (an increase of $3,356,192). This increase of $3,356,192 is reflected as an other expense-derivative financial instrument for the year ended March 31, 2011. The fair value of the derivative liabilities increased to $6,608,097 as of March 31, 2012 (an increase of $741,812 as compared to March 31,2011). This increase of $741,812 is reflected as an other expense-derivative financial instrument for the year ended March 31, 2012.

Imputed interest expense. Imputed interest expense is related to unsecured, no interest promissory notes from related parties. These loans were valued at fair value at inception. We recognized a discount on the face value of the loans at inception to adjust the carrying value to the fair value. Discounts associated with these notes are being amortized over the lives of the promissory notes using the effective interest method, with interest expense being recorded as an expense in the related period. We recognized interest expense to amortize discounts on promissory notes to related parties for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 in the amount of $312,748, as compared with $257,038 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Net loss. As a result of the cumulative effect of the foregoing factors, we generated a net loss of $3,947,128 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, as compared to a net loss of $7,254,731 for fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2012 we had cash and cash equivalents of $300 and had a working capital deficit of $5,302,568. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this report.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,601,954 for fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, as compared to $4,028,151 net cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in cash used in operating activities is mainly due to the smaller net loss and the smaller fair value adjustment relating to warrants outstanding for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 was $132,566, as compared to $2,127,868 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. This decrease is mainly due to the fact that the Company had limited resources and liquidity in fiscal year 2012 and as a result minimized its acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 was $1,226,277, as compared to $5,892,734 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. This decrease was primarily due to the fact the Company did not sell any common stock during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

As discussed above, on May 12, 2010, we completed a private placement in which we issued and sold to certain accredited investors an aggregate of 2,089,593 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,809,000, or $2.78 per share, and warrants to purchase up to 1,044,803 shares of our common stock. The warrants have a term of four years, bear an exercise price of $3.61 per share (subject to customary adjustments), are exercisable on a net exercise or cashless basis and are exercisable by investors at any time after the closing date. As a result of this private placement, we raised approximately $5.8 million in gross proceeds, which left us with approximately $5.3 million in net proceeds after the deduction of offering expenses.

Overall Liquidity and Capital Resources

In May 2010, we determined that potential long-term opportunities of increasing the capacity at the Ana Maria plant outweighed the short-term costs to us of taking the plant off-line. Accordingly, we shut down operations at the Ana Maria facility for a period of approximately three months and increased the facility’s capacity by 50%. As a result, we generated only $188,227 in net sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, which affected our cash flows from operations.

As discussed above, through the course of our operations we have realized that MINI plants which process tailings will now require an additional module at a cost of $500,000 in order to more efficiently process the tailings. Accordingly, the total cost of construction per such MINI plant has increased from our initial estimates of $2,500,000 to approximately $3,000,000. In addition, due to the higher copper prices, there has been a significant increase in demand for raw copper ore. As a result, the market now demands that any producer must purchase the ore by providing payment at the delivery of the ore, and therefore, we now require approximately $500,000 per MINI plant to purchase enough ore to operate at full capacity.

Initially, we estimated that it would cost approximately $2,500,000 in working capital per plant to construct and operate the plant to capacity. However, as discussed above, we now require approximately $3,500,000 in working capital per MINI plant in order to construct and operate the plant to capacity.

As of March 31, 2011, we determined that in order to fully operate on our business plan, we would need an aggregate of approximately $2.1 million to operate at full capacity at our Ana Maria and Filomena plants. In addition, we determined that we would need approximately $1.0 million for working capital. Accordingly, on May 8, 2012, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell to such investors (i) up to $3.5 million of eleven percent (11%) secured convertible notes, which notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.00 per share and (ii) warrants to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of the number of shares of common stock that the notes purchased by the investors may be convertible into, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. On May 8, 2012, we completed the initial closing with the investors in which we issued and sold (i) notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $2,120,000, and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 530,000 shares of common stock, in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,120,000. On June 7, 2012, we effected a second and final closing pursuant in which we issued and sold to investors (i) notes in the aggregate original principal amount of $1,015,000 and (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 253,750 shares of common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,015,000. In total, we raised $3,135,000 in aggregate gross proceeds from the two closings of the offering.

Obligations under Material Contracts

As of March 31, 2012, there were outstanding loans made to the Company in the aggregate amount of $5,160,583. On May 8, 2012. the Company and certain creditors of the Company which had loaned the Company an aggregate of approximately $4,267,774 entered into separate loan repayment agreements whereby the creditors will each agree to allow the Company to defer repayment of their respective loans to the Company until the later of (i) May 8, 2013 and (ii) such time at the Company reports positive net-income on its quarterly or annual financial statements filed with the SEC.

The following table lists the loans which will be deferred in accordance with the Loan Repayment Agreements:

Creditor	Amount of Loan(s) Deferred
Jorge Fernando Pizarro Arriagada	CLP$104,579,970
Iván Orlando Vergara Huerta	CLP$165,770,750
Jorge Orellana	CLP$103,985,073
Geominco E.I.R.L	CLP$1,409,005,176
Importadora y Exportadora Bengolea Ltda.	US$500,000
Halter Financial Group	US$190,000

Inflation

Inflation does not materially affect our business or the results of our operations.

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 our stockholders.

Seasonality

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make assumptions, estimates, and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Exploration Costs and Mineral Property Right Acquisitions. The Company is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under Accounting Standards 930 Extractive Activities – Mining (AS 930) at each fiscal quarter end. Impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the proven and probable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Company uses the “Current rate method” to translate its financial statements from Chilean Pesos into U.S. Dollars. The assets and liabilities of the Company, except for the capital, are translated into U.S. Dollars using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. The capital is translated at the historical rate. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the balance sheets of the company into U.S. Dollars are recorded in stockholders' equity as part of other comprehensive income. The statement of operations is translated at average rates during the reporting period. Gains or losses resulting from transactions in currencies other than the functional currencies are reflected in the statement of operations for the reporting periods. The statement of cash flows is translated at average rates during the reporting period, with the exception of issue of share and payment of dividends which are translated at the historical rates. Due to the use of different rates for translation, the figures in the statement of changes in cash flows may not agree with the differences between the year end balances as shown in the balance sheets.
Machinery and Equipment. Machinery and equipment is recorded at cost and is stated net of accumulated depreciation. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The costs of improvements that extend the life of equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment, and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.Machinery and equipment are depreciated at rates sufficient to write off their cost over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows: Property, Plant and Equipment -10 years. Additions during the year are amortized on half year rule.

Revenue Recognition. Copper sales prices are provisionally set on a specified future date based upon market commodity prices. Revenue is recognized at the time of delivery when risk of loss passes to the customer, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company typically receives the final payment the day following delivery of copper cathodes, which minimizes price difference. However, revenue is provisionally measured using forward market prices on the expected date that final selling prices will be fixed. Variations occur between the price recorded on the date of revenue recognition and the actual final price due to changes in market copper prices, which result in the existence of an embedded derivative in the accounts receivable. In the absence of price variations, the company did not record any embedded derivative during the year. This embedded derivative is recorded at fair value each period until final settlement occurs, with changes in fair value classified as provisional price adjustments and included as a component of revenue. There were no provisional price adjustments during the year ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011.
Comprehensive income. The Company has chosen to report comprehensive income in the statements of changes in stockholders’ deficiency. Comprehensive income comprised net income and all changes to stockholders' deficiency except those due to investments by owners and distributions to owners.
Assets Retirement Obligation. The Company discloses its financial accounting and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. This standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and normal use of the asset. The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation should be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. As at March 31, 2012 and 2011, there are no assets retirement obligations.
Income Taxes. The Company recognizes a liability or asset for deferred tax consequences of all temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax items mainly relate to net operating loss carry forwards and accrued expenses. These deferred tax assets or liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability, and valuation allowances are provided when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had reduced its deferred tax assets by recording a valuation allowance (see Note 12).
Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The carrying values of long-lived assets are reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. For assets that are to be held and used, an impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Company recognizes all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measures them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. The Company has not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share. The Company computes net loss per of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available tocommon shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including to our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting disclosed below.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting refers to the process designed by, or under the supervision of, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and 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. GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and

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

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 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.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring.

Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2012 were not effective due to the following material weaknesses: We need to increase our qualified accounting personnel and enhance the supervision, monitoring and reviewing of financial statements preparation processes.

In order to correct the foregoing material weaknesses, during the fiscal year 2012, we have taken and are taking the following remediation measures that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting:

We have several new Directors, including our Chairman of the Board, with extensive business, financial and US public company experience.
We have established an audit committee of our board of directors. Each of our audit committee members has substantial experience and knowledge in finance and corporate governance. The audit committee will provide oversight of our accounting and financial reporting;
We are drafting an accounting manual and closing procedures in accordance with U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting standards;
We have hired a Chief Financial Officer who has substantial knowledge of, and experience regarding, U.S. GAAP and SEC reporting requirements.

Our management is committed to improving our internal controls. We believe that the foregoing steps will remediate the material weaknesses identified above, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate to put effective controls in place.

Because the Company is a smaller reporting company, this annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

We will regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new and more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

Except as described above, during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect materially, our internal control over financial reporting.

Director Qualifications

Directors are responsible for overseeing our business consistent with their fiduciary duty to stockholders. This significant responsibility requires highly-skilled individuals with various qualities, attributes and professional experience. The Board believes that there are general requirements for service on our Board of Directors that are applicable to all directors and that there are other skills and experience that should be represented on the Board as a whole but not necessarily by each director. The Board considers the qualifications of directors and director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition and our current and future needs.

Qualifications for All Directors

In its assessment of each potential candidate, including those recommended by stockholders, our Board of Directors considers the nominee’s judgment, integrity, experience, independence, understanding of our business or other related industries and such other factors the Board determines are pertinent in light of the current needs of the Board. The Board also takes into account the ability of a director to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities to the Company.

The Board requires that each director be a recognized person of high integrity with a proven record of success in his or her field. Each director must demonstrate innovative thinking, familiarity with and respect for corporate governance requirements and practices, an appreciation of multiple cultures and a commitment to sustainability and to dealing responsibly with social issues. In addition to the qualifications required of all directors, the Board assesses intangible qualities including the individual’s ability to ask difficult questions and, simultaneously, to work collegially.

The Board does not have a specific diversity policy, but considers diversity of race, ethnicity, gender, age, cultural background and professional experiences in evaluating candidates for Board membership. Diversity is important because a variety of points of view contribute to a more effective decision-making process.

Qualifications, Attributes, Skills and Experience to be Represented on the Board as a Whole

The Board has identified particular qualifications, attributes, skills and experience that are important to be represented on the Board as a whole, in light of our current needs and business priorities. We are a public mineral extraction company based in the Republic of Chile. Therefore, the Board believes that a diversity of professional experiences in the mining industry in Chile, specific knowledge of key geographic growth areas, and knowledge of U.S. capital markets and of U.S. accounting and financial reporting standards should be represented on the Board.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Chile Mining Technologies Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chile Mining Technologies Inc. as at March 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, deficit, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 audits 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 controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chile Mining Technologies Inc. as at March 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the continuance of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the production of copper. This raises substantial doubt about it ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

(Amounts expressed in U.S. Dollars)

1.	NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chile Mining Technologies, Inc. (formerly Latin America Ventures, Inc.) (the “Company” or “Chile Mining”), and its subsidiary Minera Licancabur S.A. (“Minera”) (99.99% owned by the Company). All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Organization

On May 12, 2010, the Company entered into and closed a share exchange agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Minera, a Chilean company, and its shareholders, pursuant to which the Company acquired 99.9% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Minera in exchange for 6,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, which constituted 83.33% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement and after giving effect to the Cancellation Agreement described below. The acquisition was accounted for as a recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein Minera is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The assets and liabilities of the acquired entity have been brought forward at their book value and no goodwill has been recognized.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is also one of the former shareholders of Minera, retained one share of Minera, constituting 0.1% of Minera’s issued and outstanding capital stock. The acquisition of Minera was structured to allow the CEO to retain one share of Minera in order to comply with Chilean legal requirements to have at least two record owners of its capital stock. Upon the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, the CEO entered into a nominee agreement with the Company pursuant to which he agreed to act as the record holder of such share, but agreed that all other rights to the share, including the right to receive distributions on the share, vote the share and be the beneficial owner of the share, rest in the Company.

As a condition precedent to the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement, on May 12, 2010, the Company also entered into a cancellation agreement (the “Cancellation Agreement”) with Halter Financial Investments, LP (“HFI”) and Mr. Pierre Galoppi, the controlling stockholders, whereby HFI and Mr. Galoppi agreed to the cancellation of an aggregate of 3,600,500 shares of common stock owned by them.

Private Placement Transaction

On May 12, 2010, the Company also completed a private placement transaction with a group of accredited investors. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement that was entered into with the investors and Minera (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), the Company issued to the investors an aggregate of 2,089,593 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,809,000, or $2.78 per share, and warrants (the “Closing Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,044,803 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Closing Warrants have a term of four years, bear an exercise price of $3.61 per share (subject to customary adjustments), are exercisable on a net exercise or cashless basis and are exercisable by investors at any time after the closing date.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to certain “make good” provisions. Under the “make good” provisions, the Company issued additional warrants (the “Make Good Warrants”) to the investors to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,089,593 shares of its common stock, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, which will only become exercisable if the company does not meet certain financial performance targets in 2011 and 2012. The “make good” provisions established minimum net income thresholds of $14,382,102 and $15,179,687 for the 2011 and 2012 fiscal years, respectively. If, in a given fiscal year, 90% of the applicable minimum net income threshold is not met, such aggregate number of Make Good Warrants will become exercisable equal to the amount by which the Company’s actual net income is less than the applicable financial target, divided by the financial target, and multiplied by 2,089,593. In connection with the private placement, the Company also entered into (i) a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Company is obligated to register the shares of common stock issued to investors, including the shares of common stock underlying the warrants, within a pre-defined period and (ii) a closing escrow agreement, with Halter Financial Securities, Inc., as placement agent, and Securities Transfer Corporation, as escrow agent, for deposit of funds by the investors. The company also entered into lock-up agreements with each of its directors and officers, pursuant to which each of them agreed not to transfer any shares of capital stock held directly or indirectly by them for a one year period following the effective date of a registration statement covering the shares issued in connection with the private placement.

Convertible Promissory Note and Make Good Warrant

Halter Financial Group, L.P. (“HFG”) provided certain advisory services to the Company in connection with the acquisition of Minera and the private placement transaction described above. Pursuant to an advisory agreement that Minera entered into with HFG on April 16, 2009, HFG agreed to (a) advise Minera with regard to its desire to effect a combination transaction with a U.S. domiciled public shell corporation, (b) help Minera identify suitable investment bank(s) to act as placement agent for its contemplated private placement transactions and (c) counsel management on matters related to the operating a U.S. domiciled public company. Under the terms of the advisory agreement, HFG was entitled to receive a cash payment of $450,000 at the closing of the reverse acquisition of Minera. In lieu of such cash payment, HFG agreed to accept a cash payment of $260,000 and a promissory note issued by the Company in the principal amount of $190,000 that accrues simple annual interest at a rate of 3% (the “HFG Note”). The HFG Note is due and payable on the sooner of the closing of our next equity financing (including the receipt of additional funds by the Company from any subsequent closing of the May 12 private placement) or the 180th day following the date of its issuance. In addition, at any time that the HFG Note remains outstanding, it may be converted at HFG’s option into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $2.78. At the closing, HFG was also issued a “Make Good” warrant, to purchase up to 985,104 shares of the Company's common stock (the “HFG Make Good Warrant”). The terms of the HFG Make Good Warrant are identical to the terms of the Make Good Warrants issued to the investors in the private placement.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. This contemplates that assets will be realized and liabilities and commitments satisfied in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit of $5,302,568 and has incurred a deficit of $13,043,895 for the cumulative period to March 31, 2012. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the production of copper. Management has plans to seek additional capital through private placements and public offering of its capital stock. Subsequent to the year the Company raised $3,135,000. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Although there are no assurances that management's plans will be realized, management believes that the Company will be able to continue operations in the near future. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

2.	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”).

Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment.

The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:

Exploration Costs and Mineral Property Right Acquisitions

The Company is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under Accounting Standards 930 Extractive Activities – Mining (AS 930) at each fiscal quarter end. Impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral property. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral property over its estimated fair value. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the proven and probable reserves. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

(Amounts expressed in U.S. Dollars)

Concentrations

Concentration of Operations — The Company’s operations are all related to the production and extraction of copper. A reduction in copper prices or other disturbances in the minerals market could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

The Company operates outside of the United States of America and is exposed to foreign currency risk due to the fluctuation between the currency in which the Company operates (Chilean Pesos) and the United States Dollar.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions of future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, such as accrued liabilities and recovery value of equipment, deferred tax valuation allowance and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results may differ materially from those reported.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company uses the “Current rate method” to translate its financial statements from Chilean Pesos into U.S. Dollars. The assets and liabilities of the Company, except for the capital, are translated into U.S. Dollars using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. The capital is translated at the historical rate. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the balance sheets of the company into U.S. Dollars are recorded in stockholders' equity as part of other comprehensive income. The statement of operations is translated at average rates during the reporting period. Gains or losses resulting from transactions in currencies other than the functional currencies are reflected in the statement of operations for the reporting periods. The statement of cash flows is translated at average rates during the reporting period, with the exception of issue of share and payment of dividends which are translated at the historical rates. Due to the use of different rates for translation, the figures in the statement of changes in cash flows may not agree with the differences between the year end balances as shown in the balance sheets.

Machinery and Equipment

Machinery and equipment is recorded at cost and is stated net of accumulated depreciation. Gains or losses on disposals are reflected as gain or loss in the year of disposal. The costs of improvements that extend the life of equipment are capitalized. These capitalized costs may include structural improvements, equipment, and fixtures. All ordinary repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Machinery and equipment are depreciated at rates sufficient to write off their cost over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:

Property Plant and Equipment

10 years straight line

Additions during the year are amortized on half year rule.

(Amounts expressed in U.S. Dollars)

Revenue Recognition

Copper sales prices are provisionally set on a specified future date based upon market commodity prices. Revenue is recognized at the time of delivery when risk of loss passes to the customer, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company typically receives the final payment the day following delivery of copper cathodes, which minimizes price difference. However, revenue is provisionally measured using forward market prices on the expected date that final selling prices will be fixed. Variations occur between the price recorded on the date of revenue recognition and the actual final price due to changes in market copper prices, which result in the existence of an embedded derivative in the accounts receivable. In the absence of price variations, the company did not record any embedded derivative during the year.

This embedded derivative is recorded at fair value each period until final settlement occurs, with changes in fair value classified as provisional price adjustments and included as a component of revenue.

There were no provisional price adjustments during the year ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of cash and cash equivalents, which are short-term, highly liquid investments with original terms to maturity of 90 days or less.

Comprehensive income

The Company has chosen to report comprehensive income in the statements of changes in stockholders’ deficiency. Comprehensive income comprised net income and all changes to stockholders' deficiency except those due to investments by owners and distributions to owners.

Assets Retirement Obligation

The Company discloses its financial accounting and reporting obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated retirement costs. This standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and normal use of the asset.

The fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation should be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The fair value of the liability is added to the carrying amount of the associated asset and this additional carrying amount is depreciated over the life of the asset. The liability is accreted at the end of each period through charges to operating expense. If the obligation is settled for other than the carrying amount of the liability, the Company will recognize a gain or loss on settlement. As at March 31, 2012 and 2011, there are no assets retirement obligations.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes a liability or asset for deferred tax consequences of all temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax items mainly relate to net operating loss carry forwards and accrued expenses. These deferred tax assets or liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability, and valuation allowances are provided when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had reduced its deferred tax assets by recording a valuation allowance (see Note 12).

Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended March 31, 2012 AND 2011

(Amounts expressed in U.S. Dollars)

The carrying values of long-lived assets are reviewed on a regular basis for the existence of facts or circumstances that may suggest impairment. For assets that are to be held and used, an impairment loss is recognized when the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value.

Inventories

The quantity of material in ore on the leach pad is based on surveyed volumes of mined material. Sampling and assaying determine the estimated amount of copper contained in material delivered to the leach pad. Expected copper recovery rates are determined using small-scale laboratory tests, historical trends and other known factors, including mineralogy of the ore and rock type.

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of sundry assets and other receivables, deposits and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, promissory notes, due to related party and derivative financial instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are generally classified and measured as follows;

Assets/Liabilities	Classification	Measurement
Other receivables	Loans and receivables	Amortized cost
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	Other liabilities	Amortized cost
Promissory notes	Other liabilities	Amortized cost
Due to related party	Other liabilities	Amortized cost
Convertible promissory note	Other liabilities	Amortized cost

In contrast, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.

Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company recognizes all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measures them at fair value. If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. The Company has not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net loss per of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Recent pronouncements

On November 1, 2010, the Company adopted ASU 2010-06. ASU 2010-06 updates FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements including transfers in and out of levels 1 and 2 and a higher level of disaggregation for the different types of financial instruments. There was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements related to the adoption of this guidance.

Fair Value: In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” The new guidance does not extend the use of fair value accounting, but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within GAAP or International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). The new guidance also changes the working used to describe many requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements and it clarifies the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurements. The new guidance applies prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new provisions to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Comprehensive Income:

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), to require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as a part of the statement of equity. In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-12), which defers the requirement to present reclassification adjustments for each component of other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 are effective for the Company in its first quarter of fiscal 2013 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 on its consolidated financial statements.

On May 12, 2010, the Company entered into and closed the Share Exchange Agreement with Minera and its shareholders, pursuant to which the Company acquired 99.9% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Minera in exchange for 6,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, which constituted 83.33% of the Company’s issued and outstanding capital stock on a fully-diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement and after giving effect to the Cancellation Agreement.

As a condition precedent to the consummation of the Share Exchange Agreement, on May 12, 2010, the Company also entered into the Cancellation Agreement HFI and Mr. Pierre Galoppi, the controlling stockholders, whereby HFI and Mr. Galoppi agreed to the cancellation of an aggregate of 3,600,500 shares of common stock owned by them.

On May 6, 2010, the Company entered into a letter agreement that outlined the proposed terms of a standby facility of credit with AIBC International Corp. (SR), or AIBC. Under the letter agreement, the Company could request an advance from AIBC for up to an aggregate of $3 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. In connection with the execution of the letter agreement, the Company issued to AIBC 75,000 shares of common stock.

On May 12, 2010, the Company also completed a private placement transaction with a group of accredited investors. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement that was entered into with the investors and Minera, the Company issued to the investors an aggregate of 2,089,593 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,809,000, or $2.78 per share, and the Closing Warrants to purchase up to 1,044,803 shares of common stock. The Closing Warrants have a term of four years, bear an exercise price of $3.61 per share (subject to customary adjustments), are exercisable on a net exercise or cashless basis and are exercisable by investors at any time after the closing date (refer note 8 (b)).

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to certain “make good” provisions. Under the “make good” provisions, the Company issued additional warrants (the “Make Good Warrants”) to the investors to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,089,593 shares of its common stock, at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, which will only become exercisable if the company does not meet certain financial performance targets in 2011 and 2012. The “make good” provisions established minimum net income thresholds of $14,382,102 and $15,179,687 for the 2011 and 2012 fiscal years, respectively. If, in a given fiscal year, 90% of the applicable minimum net income threshold is not met, such aggregate number of Make Good Warrants will become exercisable equal to the amount by which the Company’s actual net income is less than the applicable financial target, divided by the financial target, and multiplied by 2,089,593.Halter Financial Group, L.P. (“HFG”) provided certain advisory services to the Company in connection with the acquisition of Minera and the private placement transaction. At the closing, HFG was also issued a “Make Good” warrant, to purchase up to 985,104 shares of the Company's common stock (the “HFG Make Good Warrant”). The terms of the HFG Make Good Warrant are identical to the terms of the Make Good Warrants issued to the investors in the private placement.

7.	IMPAIRMENT OF MINING RIGHTS

The Company has expensed mining rights since the Company currently has no formal plan to exploit these mineral rights which are held at various areas in Chile for potential future exploitation.

8(a) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative financial instruments, as defined in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-10-15-83 Derivatives and Hedging, consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as liabilities or, in rare instances, assets.

The Company generally does not use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to cash-flow, market or foreign-currency risks. However, the Company has entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts, such as secured convertible debenture and warrant financing arrangements that are either (i) not afforded equity classification or (ii) embody risks not clearly and closely related to host contracts. As required by ASC 815, these instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in the financial statements.

The following table summarizes the components of the derivative liabilities as of March 31, 2011 and inception of the instruments:

At inception, warrants were classified as liabilities due to the fact that they were considered not to be indexed to the company's own stock and due to the firm registration rights embodied in the agreements. At March 31, 2012 all variability and rights resulting in liability classification were removed and the instruments were re-measured and reclassified to equity.

At March 31, 2012 all variability and rights resulting in liability classification were removed and the instruments were remeasured and reclassified to equity

8(b) MAY 2010 PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On May 12, 2010, the Company commenced a private placement of (i) 2,089,593 shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $5,809,000, or $2.78 per share, (ii) Closing Warrants to purchase up to 1,044,803 shares of common stock, and (iii) Make Good Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,089,593 shares of common stock (the “May 2010 Private Placement). In connection with the May 2010 Private Placement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement related to the common stock and warrants that requires the Company to, among other things, file a Registration Statement within 65 days from the closing of the May 2010 Private Placement and achieve effectiveness as soon as possible , but in no event later than the 180^thday following the Final Closing Date or the 5^thtrading day following the date on which the Company is notified that the initial Registration Statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to review and comments. The Registration Rights Agreement does not provide for an alternative or contain a penalty in the event the Company is unable to fulfill its requirements. As a result of the registration rights obligation to file within a specified period, which is presumed not to be within the Company’s control, the Company is required to classify the common stock outside of stockholders’ equity as redeemable common stock. At March 31, 2012 the Company reclassified these securities to permanent equity due to the fact that the registration requirement had been met.

The Closing warrants included in the May 2010 Private Placement are indexed to 1,044,803 shares of the Company’s common stock and may be exercised until the fourth anniversary of their issuance at an exercise price of $3.61 per share. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also agreed to issue Make Good warrants to investors to purchase up to an aggregate amount of 2,089,593 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share which became exercisable when the Company did not meet certain financial performance targets in 2011 and 2012. The “make good” provisions established minimum net income thresholds of $14,382,102 and $15,179,687 for the 2011 and 2012 fiscal years, respectively. If, in a given fiscal year 90% of the applicable minimum net income threshold was not met, such aggregate number of Make Good warrants became exercisable equal to the amount by which the Company’s actual net income was less than the applicable financial target, divided by the financial target, and multiplied by 50% of the total warrant shares underlying the warrant agreement. The Closing and Make Good warrants were evaluated under the guidance of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities and Equity for purposes of their classification. Due to the Make Good warrants contingent exercise provisions, they did not meet the definition of “indexed to a Company’s own stock” and were required to be classified as liabilities and measured at inception and an ongoing basis at fair value. As of March 31, 2012 the Make Whole warrants were no longer contingently exercisable and the registration rights agreement had been fulfilled. Accordingly, at March 31, 2012, the warrants met the 8 conditions for equity classification provided in ASC 815-40 and were revalued and reclassified to equity.

The total basis in the financing was allocated first to derivative instruments, required to be classified as liabilities with the remaining basis being allocated to the common stock

The direct financing costs are allocated to the financial instruments (redeemable common stock and warrants), based upon their relative fair values. Amounts related to the warrants are recorded as deferred finance costs and amortized through charges to interest expense over the term of the arrangement using the effective interest method while amounts related to the common stock directly offset the carrying value of the redeemable common stock.

8(c) CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE AND MAKE GOOD WARRANT

HFG provided certain advisory services to the Company in connection with the acquisition of Minera and the May 2010 Private Placement. Pursuant to an advisory agreement that Minera entered into with HFG on April 16, 2009, HFG agreed to (a) advise Minera with regard to its desire to effect a combination transaction with a U.S. domiciled public shell corporation, (b) help Minera identify suitable investment bank(s) to act as placement agent for its contemplated private placement transactions and (c) counsel management on matters related to the operating a U.S. domiciled public company. Under the terms of the advisory agreement, HFG was entitled to receive a cash payment of $450,000 at the closing of the reverse acquisition of Minera. In lieu of such cash payment, HFG agreed to accept a cash payment of $260,000 and the HFG Note in the principal amount of $190,000 that accrues simple annual interest at a rate of 3%. The HFG Note is due and payable on the sooner of the closing of the next equity financing (including the receipt of additional funds by the Company from any subsequent closing of the May 12 private placement) or the 180th day following the date of its issuance. In addition, at any time that the HFG Note remains outstanding, it may be converted at HFG’s option into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $2.78. Subsequent to the year, the maturity dates of this Note were extended to the later of 12 months from the closing of the June 2012 funding or at such time that the Company reports positive net income in its quarterly or annual financial statements (refer to note 19 relating to subsequent events).

The Company has evaluated the terms and conditions of the HFG Note under the guidance of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The embedded conversion feature (“ECF”) is an equity-linked feature that is not clearly and closely related to the risks of the host debt instrument. However, current accounting standards afforded an exemption to bifurcation of the ECF because it is both indexed to the Company’s own stock and otherwise met the definition of Conventional Convertible based upon the fixed conversion price.

At the closing, the Company had also issued to HFG the HFG Make Good Warrant for the purchase of up to 985,104 shares of common stock. The terms of the HFG Make Good Warrant are identical to the terms of the Make Good Warrants issued to the investors in the private placement and accordingly, they did not meet the definition of “indexed to a Company’s own stock” and were required to be classified as liabilities and measured at inception and an ongoing basis at fair value. As of March 31, 2012, HFG had exercised warrants for 492,552 common shares.

The fair value of the Convertible Promissory Note was estimated based upon the present value of its future cash flows, using credit risk adjusted rates, as enhanced by the fair value of the ECF. Since the Company does not have an established credit rating, the credit risk adjusted yield of 15.51% was determined by reference to comparable instruments in public markets and industry-specific risk. The fair value of the ECF was determined using the Monte Carlo Simulation (“MCS”). MCS is an option-based model that embodies assumptions that would likely be considered by market participants who trade the financial instrument. In addition to more traditional assumptions, such as stock price, trading volatilities and risk-free rates, MCS assumptions include credit risk, interest risk and redemption considerations. Significant assumptions included in the MSC valuation technique were as follows:

Fair value Disclosures:

ASC 820, Fair value Measurements and Disclosures, provides requirements for disclosure of liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to the initial recognition. Financial instruments arising from the May 2010 Private Placement that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are (i) the investor warrants, (ii) the broker warrants, (iii) the credit facility warrants and (iv) Make Good warrants, respectively.

The warrants were valued using the Lattice technique, and the Company estimated (i) the volatility, based upon a reasonable peer group, (ii) the risk free rate as the published rate for zero coupon government securities with terms consistent with the contractual term.

Information and significant assumptions embodied in our warrant valuations (including ranges for certain assumptions) as of March 31, 2012 are illustrated in the following tables:

Fair value hierarchy:

(1)	Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, or derived there from. The Company used its trading market price as of March 31, 2012 as input into the model which is a Level 1 input.
(2)	Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable. The Binomial Lattice model provides for multiple assumptions related to volatility and risk free rate over the remaining term of the warrants. The equivalents or averages of these assumptions are also provided above. The Company uses the current published yields for zero-coupon US Treasury Securities for its risk free rate. The Company did not have a historical trading history sufficient to develop an internal volatility rate for use in the Binomial Lattice model. As a result, the Company has used a peer approach wherein the historical trading volatilities of certain companies with similar characteristics and who had a sufficient trading history were used as an estimate of the Company’s volatility. In developing this model, no one company was weighted more heavily.
(3)	Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs. Inputs for which any parts are Level 3 inputs are classified as Level 3 in their entirety. The remaining term used equals the remaining contractual term as our best estimate of the expected term. The probability- weighted outcomes of achieving the performance conditions are also a Level 3 input.

Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of the Company’s common stock, which has a high estimated volatility. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, the Company’s income will reflect the volatility in these estimate and assumption changes.

The following tables summarize the effects on the Company’s income (loss) associated with changes in the fair values of our derivative financial instruments for the year ended March 31, 2012:

May 2010 Private Placement:

The Company’s obligations to capital leases have been classified as current due to not meeting its payment schedule of fiscal year 2012.

10.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

As at March 31, 2012 the Company operated in one reportable segment, being the exploration for and the development of mining rights in the Republic of Chile.

11.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to maintain its daily operations. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain the future development of the business. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. The Company upon approval from its Board of Directors will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues or by undertaking other activities as deemed appropriate under the specific circumstances. As such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its daily operations. In order to procure materials and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the foregoing paragraph and the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the year ended March 31, 2012.

12.

INCOME TAXES

Potential benefits of income tax losses and other tax assets are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has net operating losses carried forward of approximately $8,103,383 ($5,210,815 – 2011) for tax purposes subject to expiration as described below. The Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net, operating losses carried forward and other items giving rise to deferred tax assets. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses and other items have not been recognized in these financial statements as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these items.

INVENTORY

The quantity of material in ore on the leach pad is based on surveyed volumes of mined material. Sampling and assaying determine the estimated amount of copper contained in material delivered to the leach pad. As at March 31, 2012 and, 2011 the amount of copper contained in material delivered to the leach pad is at a level of 1%. Expected copper recovery rates are determined using small-scale laboratory tests, historical trends and other known factors, including mineralogy of the ore and rock type. The ultimate recovery of copper contained in leach stockpiles can vary from a very low percentage to over 90 percent depending on several variables, including type of processing, metallurgical processes and mineralogy. As at March 31, 2012 and 2011 the current ultimate recovery copper has been estimated at 80%.

In November 2010, the Company signed a ten year lease with an option to purchase for two properties owned by Mr. Santiago Lay in Arica, Republic of Chile. The Company would be obligated to pay a total monthly rent of $32,051 for the first 12 months (Chilean 15 million Pesos) which will be adjusted and offset with future royalty payments. The Royalty established was equivalent to ten percent of the net value of the ore to be extracted and sold, metallic or nonmetallic, taking as reference the rates established by ENAMI monthly. However, the Company, at its full cost, considered installing a plant to process the ore extracted. The royalty was to be paid monthly, starting in month thirteen counted from the signing of the contract. All direct and indirect expenses related to the program of exploration, conceptual study and feasibility study will be at the total and exclusive charge of the Company and not adjustable with the rent or royalty.

The company only paid two months of the actual minimum rent and therefore failed to deliver on the remaining balance owed on the purchase of the property. As a result of this agreement lapsing, the option to purchase this property was nullified and subsequent to the year end the Company let this agreement lapse. On May 19, 2012, the Company signed an agreement with Santiago Lay releasing it from any liabilities and future payments due from this agreement. With this agreement, Mr. Lay agreed to repay deposits paid by the Company as well as provide partial compensation for the work and studies performed on this property to a maximum of $560,000. The Company and Mr. Lay agreed to use this compensation to repay Minera Lincancabur’s loan of $500,000 with interest of $60,000 payable to Exportadora e Importadora Bengolea (Bengolea). In accordance with the final contract, Mr. Lay is currently repaying this loan directly to Bengolea (Also see note 18).

In November 2010, the Company signed a ten year lease with an option to purchase for two properties owned by Mr. Santiago Lay in Arica, Republic of Chile. Associated with this lease were certain deposits made by Minera Lincancabur as well as a monthly rent obligation over the first 12 months. The Company failed to make all of the payments over this 12 month period and as a result allowed the agreement to lapse. On May 19, 2012, the Company signed an agreement with Mr. Lay where he agreed to repay deposits paid by the Company as well as provide partial compensation for the work and studies performed on this property to a maximum of $560,000 (Also see note 14 and 18).

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK FACTORS

The fair value of a financial instrument is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to settle the financial assets and financial liabilities as at the reporting date. The book value of sundry assets and other receivables, deposits and other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related party approximate fair values at the balance sheet dates.

The fair value of the long-term debt has been estimated by discounting future cash flows at a rate offered for debt of similar maturities and credit quality.

All financial instruments except for derivative financial instruments and cash and cash equivalent are classified as level 3. Both cash and cash equivalents and derivative financial instruments are classified as level 3.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended March 31, 2012 AND 2011

(Amounts expressed in U.S. Dollars)

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of amounts receivable. The Company is not exposed to material losses on its accounts receivable and future revenues.

Commodity price risk

The ability of the Company to develop its properties and the future profitability of the Company is directly related to the market price of certain minerals. The Company does not currently use derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to commodity price risk.

Liquidity risk

The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is dependent on the collection of amounts receivable and the ability to raise funds to meet purchase commitments and to sustain operations. The company controls its liquidity risk by managing working capital and cash flows.

Foreign currency risk

The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk as substantially all of the Company’s cash is denominated in Chilean Pesos. This risk is partially mitigated by the fact that a significant portion of the costs associated with the mining claims and deferred exploration expenditures are incurred in Chilean Pesos.

17.

COMMITMENTS

During the year, the Company received a loan from Exportadora e Importadora Bengolea (Bengolea), a non-related party for $500,000 for additional working capital. Associated with this loan, the company was committed to supply 100MT of cathodes per month to a customer for a period of 12 months for a total of 1,200MT commencing May, 2011. The selling prices are based on London metal prices less 8% commission. Any short supply will be carried forward to next month until the supply of 1,200MT is complete. As of March 31, 2012, the Company did not supply any cathodes and since the production from the Ana Maria plant was significantly limited Bengolea agreed to void the loan conditions for a full refund of their money plus a one-time payment of interest of $60,000. On May 19, 2012 the Company finalized an agreement between one of its debtors and Bengolea that released the Company from this loan through repayment of the loan with accrued interest (refer to Note 14 for the repayment agreement).

18.

LOAN FROM NON RELATED PARTY

During the year, the Company received a loan from Exportadora e Importadora Bengolea (Bengolea), a non-related party for $500,000 for additional working capital. This loan is free of interest and payable in six monthly equal installments commencing six months after the receipt of loan. The Company will be obligated to pay interest at 10% per annum in the event of default. The Company defaulted on the note and in settlement of the $500,000, Bengolea agreed to accept a one-time payment of interest of $60,000. On May 19, 2012 the Company finalized an agreement between one of its debtors and Bengolea that released the Company from this loan through repayment of the loan with accrued interest (refer to Note 14 for the repayment agreement).
