The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature which, in the opinion of Company's management, are necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and for the period since inception (March 15, 2007) through June 30, 2012.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10 K which was filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year's operation.

These condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future.

The following table identifies the factors that create uncertainty about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary as a result of the outcome of the uncertainty.

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Mineral Property Exploration:The Company expenses the costs incurred to conduct exploration, assay work, drill and equip exploratory sites within the claims groups that are not determined to have proven reserves. A reserve is that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. Proven (Measured) Reserves are those for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well established. Probable (Indicated) Reserves are those for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven (measure) reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven (measured) reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation. Geological and geophysical costs and costs of carrying and retaining unproven sites are expensed.

The Company filed its Industry Guide 7 Report with the Mining Engineer of the SEC, on March 6, 2012. The SEC Mining Engineer had no objections to the disclosure of the information as set forth in the Industry Guide 7 Report. As a result, the Company will report as a Development Stage Company beginning with the first quarter of 2012. The Company has filed with the SEC, on Form 8 K, its disclosure of the Industry Guide 7 Report. No amounts have been capitalized related to mineral property exploration as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Accumulated mineral property costs are amortized using the units of production ("UOP") method based on estimated recoverable ounces or pounds in proven and probable reserves.

Long lived Assets: The Company periodically assesses the carrying value of long lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360 10. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long lived assets not held for sale by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with them. If such evaluations indicate that the future discounted cash flows of certain long lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values.

Mining assets, including mineral rights and mine development, are also periodically assessed for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 360 10 and FASB ASC 930 360 35. There was no loss on impairment for the periods ended June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

8. EQUITY (Continued)

The Company has 11,633,861 and 5,956,553 warrants issued and outstanding with exercise prices between $0.00 and $2.50 as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, which were excluded from diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Warrants

Management has valued the warrants at their date of grant utilizing the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model. Since there is no public market for the Company shares, the fair value of the underlying shares was determined based on recent transactions by the Company to sell shares to third parties. Further, the excepted volatility was calculated using the average of historical volatility of two similar public entities in the gold mining industry in accordance with Question 6 of SAB Topic 14.D.1. In making this determination and finding other similar companies, the Company considered the industry, stage of life cycle, size and financial leverage of such other entities. Based on the exploration stage of the Company, similar companies with enough historical data are rare; however, the Company was able to find two entities that met the industry criterion and as a result have based its expected volatility off an average of these companies' historical stock prices for a period similar to the expected term of the option. The risk free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the expected life of the warrants depending on the date of the grant and expected life of the warrants. The expected life of warrants used was based on the contractual life of the option granted. The Company determined the expected dividend rate based on the assumption and expectation that earnings generated from operations are not expected to be adequate to allow for the payment of dividends in the near future.

The following weighted-average assumptions were utilized in the fair value calculations for warrants granted:

 
 
   
 
   
Period ended
June 30,
2012
 
                   
Expected dividend yield
                  0.00%

Risk-free interest rate
                  0.19%
Expected life of operations
                  1.00 years

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company granted stock warrants to its investors, lenders, and vendors to purchase an aggregate of 82,500 shares of the Company's no par value common stock at an exercise price of $0.00 per share, 5,345,013 at $1.50 per share, and 268,795 at $2.00 per share.

Our ability to predict the results of our operations or the effects of various events on our operating results is inherently uncertain. Therefore, we caution you to consider carefully the matters described under the caption "Risk Factors" and certain other matters discussed in this Form 10-Q, the documents incorporated by reference in this Form 10-Q, and other publicly available sources. These factors and many other factors beyond the control of our management could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements that may be expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Executive Summary

Our Company is a mineral exploration, development and production company; that is currently in the exploration and development stage of proven and probable gold reserves at the Nancy Hanks Mine on the Garnet Mineral Property, located in Missoula, Montana. We have acquired an exclusive option to purchase the mineral rights to 23 patented mineral claims and 122 unpatented mineral claims located within the Garnet Mining District of Granite County, Montana from Commonwealth Commonwealth Resources, LLC. We purchased an additional 90 unpatented mining claims and 8 lease hold interests on BLM owned patented mining claims from Commonwealth pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated May 24, 2010. Commonwealth, is owned by Aaron Charlton, Rodney K. Haynes, Kim L. Charlton and Eric Sauve. Mr. Eric Sauve is our president, CEO, CFO, and Director. Mr. Aaron Charlton is our Senior Consultant and NEO, and the Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors. Messrs. Charlton and Sauve are two of the Company's full time employees. Aaron Charlton and Eric Sauve are related parties to our Company, Grant Hartford Corporation. In 2011, our Company acquired, through staking and registering, 177 new unpatented claims.

We intend to exercise the option to purchase the 23 patented and 122 unpatented mineral claims owned by Commonwealth subject to our ability to adequately capitalize the Company and begin profitable production of gold. We are currently in the process of developing our first mine, the Nancy Hanks, and exploring several of the patented mineral claims and prospecting leases and

continuing the exploration, evaluation and mapping of the remaining patented and unpatented claims.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. Though we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, our actual results may differ from these estimates.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2012, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

(a)   Plan of Operation.

Our independent auditor has noted that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern at December 31, 2011. In light of our lack of revenues, and operating capital, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon future events, such as the successful exploration and the future development and production of the Garnet Mineral Property, our ability to engage the services of highly qualified consultants who have expertise in the industry and our ability to secure additional sources of financing. See Risk Factor 3: "Auditor has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern."

The Lead King dumps project has an estimated 20,000 tons of remaining ore dumps to be processed during 2012. The Company has contracted with Barkel Trucking ("Barkel")to screen and haul the remaining ore to the Golden Sunlight Toll Mill ("GSM"). The Company started screening mine dumps on the Lead King at the end of the second quarter and shipments to the mill are expected to commence in the early third quarter. Also during the third quarter, the Company will be taking 30 ton bulk samples of ore dumps from other formerly producing mine sites around the property. Subject to the test results, material will be screened by size and separated. Material that is less than 1 inch in size will be trucked to Golden Sunlight Mill for processing. The Company anticipates that GSM will increase the number of tons that Grant Hartford can ship to them each day. Barkel has agreed to provide additional trucks to support the additional projects in the third quarter.

The Company will do more road repair and maintenance work on the Garnet property in 2012.

Subject to the receipt of financing, the Company plans to begin a 30-day period for completion of surface infrastructure and assembly of underground mining equipment and mining teams in order to continue excavation of the remaining development drifts in the Nancy Hanks Mine.

This increase was due primarily to an increase in the amount due regarding the Option Payment: Mineral Rights of $77,990 or approximately 1,332% because the Company did not make its required Option payment and an increase in related party short-term notes of $302,645 or approximately 366% due to a new note from Leo Sauve in the first quarter and a "Reimbursement Agreement" with Commonwealth Resources, LLC in the second quarter, more fully described in Note 4 of the Financial Statements. The total liabilities increase was also due to an increase in amounts due to related parties of $217,626 or approximately 23%, due to the

continued work load required of our management in order to carry out our plan of operations while we did not have adequate financial capacity to pay for these services. There was a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $481,823 or approximately 16.6%, due to one account payable of $529,666 converting their balance owed to a two year note, and a second accounts payable converting $200,000 of the amount owed into shares of the Company's common stock at $2.00 per share. If the Company had not realized these two deductions, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses increased $247,843 or approximately 8.54%. Short-term notes (net of discounts) showed an increase of $190,523 or approximately 10%, primarily relating to amortization of debt discount on the short-term notes. Capital lease payable represented no change.

As compared to the period ended December 31, 2011, the Company's accumulated deficit increased by $7,709,929, or approximately 57.5%, during the six month period ended June 30, 2012, which accounts for the net losses for the period, which are further described in the operating loss section set forth above. As compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, the Company's total stockholders' equity decreased by $794,838, or approximately 18%, during the six month period ended June 30, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, this decrease was primarily due to losses incurred from operations. The effect of the issuance of the warrants does increase the net loss for the six months ended, June 30, 2012, but the expense is offset by a corresponding increase to equity of the same amount. When taking into account the cost of the warrants issued during the six months ended June 30, 2012, the remaining loss from operations was $1,512,213, which was offset by stock issuances of $737,375 for a net decrease in equity of $774,838.

Income Taxes

For the period from inception March 15, 2007 through June 30, 2012, we paid $200 in income taxes. This is recorded under the General and Administrative Expenses category.

This net increase in operating losses was due to significant changes in the Company between the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 and the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Management fees increased by $12,242, or approximately 7.4%. General and administrative costs increased by $59,999 or approximately 54%, which was primarily due to the depreciation of heavy equipment purchased for the purposes of beginning preparations for underground mining on the Garnet Mineral Property. Professional fees increased by $130,030 or approximately 193%, which is attributable to an increase in legal, accounting and third party due diligence activities in relation to financing activities. Geological and mining expenses decreased by $203,342 or approximately 75%, which was primarily related to capitalizing the land improvements and equipment purchased from Commonwealth pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement more fully described in Note 4 of the Financial Statements and because there was less work done on the mine site than in previous period. Interest expenses increased by $260,990 or approximately 8,075.2%, due to the fact that the Company's interest bearing debt has also increased from the same period last year. A new category, "Warrant exercise inducement expense," has been added to reflect a onetime accounting charge related to the issuance of additional warrants to current existing warrant holders and to former warrant holders whose warrants had expired.

This net increase in operating losses was due to significant changes in the Company between the six months ended June 30, 2011 and the six months ended June 30, 2012 Management fees increased by $13,298 or approximately 4%. General and administrative costs increased by $155,959 or approximately 83%, due to the depreciation of heavy equipment purchased for the purposes of beginning preparations for underground mining on the Garnet Mineral Property. Professional fees increased by $210,033 or approximately 132.6%, due primarily to the increased use of consultants relating to the creation of the portal at the Nancy Hanks Mine in the first quarter and an increase in legal, accounting and third party due diligence activities in relation to financing activities in the second quarter. Geological and mining expenses decreased by $169,004 or approximately 51.5%, which was primarily related to capitalizing the land improvements and equipment purchased from Commonwealth pursuant to a Reimbursement Agreement more fully described in Note 4 of the Financial Statements.

related to the issuance of additional warrants to current existing warrant holders and to former warrant holders whose warrants had expired.

We estimate our operating expenses will increase during the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012 to $12,234,907. The increase will be attributable to fulfilling the terms of employment agreements with the Company's President, Eric Sauve, the Company's Senior Consultant, Aaron Charlton in which their salaries increase by six percent (6%), from $17,865 to $18,937 on June 30, 2012 and our Vice President of Marketing and Finance, BJ Ambrose, from $12,667 to $13,427 on September 1, 2012, staking two new claims on our property, establishing an on-site >fire assay laboratory, continued mineralized material shipments from the Lead King site to the Golden Sunlight Mill and continued preparations to begin underground mining operations at the Nancy Hanks mine site located on the Garnet Mineral Property including the acquisition of underground mining equipment.

Liquidity and Financial Resources

We had working capital of ($6,100,654) at June 30, 2012, compared to working capital of ($5,589,154) at December 31, 2011. For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, net cash used in operating activities was ($304,918), as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2011 of ($588,284). Net cash flows from operating activities fluctuates between periods primarily as a result of differences in net losses, the timing of the collection of accounts receivable, the timing and payment of accounts payable and due to related parties, and payments for and consumption of prepaid expenses. For the six months period ended June 30, 2012, net cash used in investing activities was ($164,616), as compared to ($99,540) net cash used in investing activities in the six month period ended June 30, 2011. Net cash flows from investing activities increased in the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to making payments for construction that was previously done on the mine site. For the six month period ended June 30, 2012, financing activities provided $514,087 as a result of the Company obtaining a note from the CEO's family and through the sale of our common stock pursuant to an exempt private offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, dated January 24, 2012, and an exempt private offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to twenty (20) accredited investors dated February 22, 2012 through June 29, 2012, which are further described under Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds section of this Form 10-Q, as compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2011, financing activities provided $842,751 as a result of the Company entering into a short term debt instrument for the purchase of heavy and industrial equipment and through the sale of our common stock pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum dated February 16, 2011, which is further described under Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds section of this Form 10-Q. Net cash for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 increased by $44,553 as compared to an increase of $154,927 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, in combination with our Board of Directors' Audit and Corporate Governance Committees, are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as that term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our control environment is the foundation for our system of internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.     Legal Proceedings.

We are currently not a party to any pending litigation, government investigation, or any other legal proceedings; however, a shareholder and affiliate of the Company and a Member of Commonwealth, a related entity, has disputed the application of expenditures by our management. In the event that this internal dispute should rise to the level of litigation; wherein the Company and members of our management could be named as parties, we would defend any lawsuit vigorously. The defense of any litigation could impose upon the Company undefined costs.

On February 14, 2012, American Buildings Company, 1150 State Docks Road, Eufaula, AL 36027 claims a construction lien pursuant to Title 71, Chapter 3, of the Montana Code Annotated. However, as of the date of this Form 10-Q, American Buildings Company has not filed any legal proceedings in respect to the construction lien.

On April 6, 2012, a Complaint was filed in the Montana First Judicial District Court, Lewis and Clark County Montana, against our Company and one of our Officers and Directors for an alleged Breach of Contract in the sum of $454,660.00 plus interest. It was deemed that the lawsuit was filed in the wrong jurisdiction and the case has been withdrawn without prejudice. The lawsuit may be re-filed in the appropriate county of Granite County where the real property is located. However, the parties are in the process of resolving their issues.

The Company has recorded $454,660 in accounts payable related to the unpaid invoices in dispute for this matter. There has been no further accrual for penalties or interest as of June 30, 2012. Based on management's knowledge at the time of this Form 10-Q filing, management believes that the final resolution of such matters pending at the time of this Form 10-Q will not have a material effect upon our Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

ITEM 1A.     Risk Factors.

Risk Factors Relating to Our Business

1:   We have limited operating history and limited historical financial information upon which you may evaluate our performance.

You should consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like ours, are in the exploration and development stage. We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our business plan. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business and impair the value of our Common Stock. Even if we accomplish these objectives, we may not generate positive cash flows or profits in the future.

Unanticipated problems, expenses and delays are frequently encountered in establishing a new business, such as ours, and in the exploration stages of the search for mineral deposits. These include, but are not limited to, inadequate funding, competition, and unsuccessful mineralized material exploration. Our failure to meet any of these conditions would have a materially adverse effect upon us and may force us to reduce or curtail operations. There is limited history uponwhich to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will be successful, and we may not be able to generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. No assurance can be given that we can or will ever operate profitably.

2:    We will require additional funding

As of June 30, 2012, we had cash on hand in the amount of $46,447. We currently anticipate incurring expenses of approximately $12,234,907 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, which we plan to use in order to stake two new claims on our property, establish an on-site fire assay laboratory, continue mineralized material shipments from the Lead King site to the Golden Sunlight Mill and continue preparations to begin underground mining operations at the Nancy Hanks mine site located on the Garnet Mineral Property including the acquisition of underground mining equipment. We will require additional financing in order to complete our current plans for 2012 and may require additional financing for future phases on our Garnet Mineral Property. We currently have limited operations at the Lead King mine site and propose to continue shipments and generating other income in 2012. Our business plan calls for significant exploration expenses. We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning sufficient revenues once exploration is complete. In the event that our exploration programs are successful in sufficiently estimating the mineralized material continuity between drill holes and we exercise our mineral claim purchase option, we may require additional funds in order to place the patented and unpatented mining claims into the development and commercial production stages. We currently do not have any finalized arrangements for financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required and on favorable terms. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the market prices for gold, silver and other metallic minerals and the costs of exploring for, developing and producing these materials. These factors may make

Return to Table of Contents

11


the timing, amount, terms, or conditions for additional financing unavailable to us, which would force us to reduce our operations or even cease operations.

In the event the Company continues to generate no revenues from operations or we are not able to obtain the necessary capital to become an operating company, we may not have sufficient resources to pay our consultants, make our options payments, pay any other fees or any other expenses related to the continuation of our operations, and we may be forced to cease our operations.

3:   Our Auditor has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern

The report of our independent auditor regarding our audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2011 indicates that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have an accumulated deficit since inception of $21,101,201, for the period from March 15, 2007 to June 30, 2012 and have no revenues. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon successful exploration and future development and production stages on the patented and unpatented mining claims. This is a significant risk to investors who purchase shares of our Common Stock because there is an increased risk that we may not be able to generate and/or raise enough capital to remain operational. Potential investors should also be aware of the difficulties normally encountered in the exploration stage and early development stage of mining companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. Our auditor's concern may inhibit our ability to raise financing because we may not remain operational, which would most likely cause our business to fail.

4:   Any global financial crisis may have an impact on our business and financial condition that we currently cannot predict.

The continued credit crisis and related instability in the global financial market has had, and may continue to have, an impact on our business and our financial condition. We may face significant challenges if conditions in the financial markets do not improve. Our ability to access the capital markets may be severely restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to access such markets, which could have an impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions. The credit crisis could have an impact on any potential lenders, causing them to fail to meet their obligations to us. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms, or conditions for additional financing unavailable to us, which would force us to reduce our operations or even cease operations, and may cause our business to fail.

5:   Difficult conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations, and we do not expect these conditions to improve in the near future.

Our results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the domestic capital markets and the economy generally. The stress experienced by domestic capital markets that began in the second half of 2007 has continued and substantially increased into the present. Recently, concerns over inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the U.S. mortgage market and a still declining real estate market in the U.S. have contributed to

Return to Table of Contents

12


increased volatility and diminished expectation for the economy and the markets going forward. These factors, combined with volatile oil and gas prices, declining business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment, have precipitated an economic slowdown and fears of a continued recession. In addition, the fixed-income markets are experiencing a period of extreme volatility which has negatively impacted market liquidity conditions.

Initially, the concerns on the part of market participants were focused on the subprime segment of the mortgage-backed securities market. However, these concerns have since expanded to include a broad range of mortgage and asset-backed and other fixed income securities, including those rated investment grade, the U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally and a wide range of financial institutions and markets, asset classes and sectors. As a result, capital markets have experienced decreased liquidity, increased price volatility, credit downgrade events, and increased probabilities of default. These events and the continuing market upheavals may have an adverse effect on us because our liquidity and ability to fund our capital expenditures is dependent in part upon our access to the private and public capital markets. In addition, in the event of extreme prolonged market events, such as the global credit crisis, we could incur significant losses. Even in the absence of a market downturn, we are exposed to substantial risk of loss due to market volatility. The forgoing factors may have a negative impact on the value of our Company, its assets, and its common stock resulting in illiquidity of our shares and potentially a total loss to our shareholders and a failure of our business.

6:   We are a new company with limited operating history

We were organized in March of 2007. Our activities to date have been focused on raising financing, exploring our properties and preparing for production at the Nancy Hanks Mine.

We have only completed three drilling seasons on our mining claim holdings for which we have acquired our options. We recently acquired additional unpatented mining claims and mining leasehold interests, which we began exploring in 2010 and of which will require additional exploration. As a result, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be able to operate our business successfully and move to the development and production mining stages on our Garnet Mineral Property. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful. While we began generating other income during the third quarter of 2011, we have not begun earning revenues pursuant to the Company's primary business operations as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Thus, we face a high risk of business failure which could result in a loss of confidence by our shareholders or potential investors and could result in a disruption to the business, adversely affecting our Company and the existing shareholders.

7:   We may be unable to retain the consultants upon which we rely.

We have agreements with consultants to perform services for us including with an independent engineer for the review of historical information available on the mining claims we have under option, the results from the previous exploration work performed on these mining claims, as well as the results of our exploration during the 2008 through 2011 drilling seasons in order to make recommendations based on those reviews. We also have agreements with a firm for engineering

Return to Table of Contents

13


services in order to complete mill and property engineering on the Garnet Mineral Property; with the University of Montana to utilize the Geological Department and Geographical Information Systems Department to digitize data; with geologist consultants for mapping the Garnet Mineral Property; assistance with the Vulcan Sub-Surface 3D Mine Modeling Program; and assistance with sampling, mapping and drill rig activities on the Garnet Mineral Property. We also have agreements with an independent laboratory to perform analyses on geological samples and an engineering firm for a water base line study and survey for a mill and tailings impoundment. We also have agreements with independent companies to provide hauling services in our shipment of mineralized material to the Golden Sunlight Mill from the Lead King mine site; along with an independent mining company to complete the portal construction and other preparations required to begin underground mining on the Nancy Hanks patented claim.

Each of our consultants perform functions that require the services of persons in high demand in the industry and these persons may or may not always be available when needed based on their status as consultants. The implementation of our business plan may be impaired if we are not able to retain our significant consultants or if they do not perform in accordance with their agreements and the failure to execute our business plan will have an adverse effect on the value of our Company and its common stock.

8:   We may be unable to continue to sell our mineralized material to third party mill facilities for processing, or the ore processing fees may become prohibitive in the cost effectiveness of continuing mineralized material shipments for processing..

We currently have an agreement in place to sell a maximum of 30,000 short tons of ore from old tailings from the Lead King mine site to Golden Sunlight Mines, Inc. ("Golden Sunlight Mill"). The Golden Sunlight Mill is an independent third party mill facility that receives ore from various locations around the area. Thus, there is no guarantee that the Golden Sunlight Mill will continue to process our mineralized material, nor is there any guarantee that the processing fees may not become prohibitive in our continued shipment of mineralized material for processing. In the event we are unable to continue mineralized material shipments to the Golden Sunlight Mill, the income we are currently generating from the Lead King mine site would not continue, which could interfere with the implementation of our business plan, and could have an adverse effect on the value of our common stock and may cause our business to fail.

9:   Common ownership of GHC and Commonwealth may create a conflict of interest.

One of our material assets is the option to purchase the 122 unpatented and 23 patented mining claims on the Garnet Mineral Property. The claims are owned, or optioned by Commonwealth. Commonwealth is owned in part by Mr. Eric Sauve, our President, CEO, CFO and Director. In addition, Mr. Aaron Charlton, Senior Consultant, NEO, and Chariman of the Company's Board of Directors, is a majority owner of Commonwealth. Our Audit Committee has begun the process of identifying a third party outside accountant to assist in completing an internal review and plans to adopt conflict of interest and ethics rules, which will include the rules set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Audit Committee has put these efforts on hold until such time as the Company has sufficient capital to complete the Audit Committee's internal review. In the absence of these corporate governance measures, and in general, the interests of

Return to Table of Contents

14


Commonwealth and management may not coincide, which could result in a loss of confidence by our shareholders adversely affecting our Company and the existing shareholders, which in turn would have an adverse effect on the value of our common stock and may cause our business to fail.

10:   There may exist potential conflicts of interest between us and Garnet Range Resources, LLC

Our agreement with Garnet Range Resources, LLC, a Montana Limited Liability company ("Garnet"), provides for the rental and operation of heavy equipment, labor on the Garnet Mineral Property and coordination of the exploration project management with us. Since Mr. Eric Sauve, our President, CEO, CFO and Director, and Joyce L. Charlton, the Managing Member of Garnet and wife of Aaron Charlton, our Senior Consultant and the Chairman of our Board of Directors, own 100% of Garnet, there is the potential for a conflict of interest between Garnet and the best interest of our shareholders. Since, from time to time, Aaron Charlton, our Senior Consultant, consults with Garnet, there is the potential for a conflict of interest between Garnet and the best interest of our shareholders. Our Audit Committee has begun the process of identifying an independent third party accountant in order to assist in completing an internal review and plans to adopt conflict of interest and ethics rules, which will include the rules set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Audit Committee has put these efforts on hold until such time as the Company has sufficient capital to complete the Audit Committee's internal review. In the absence of these corporate governance measures, and in general, the interests of Garnet and management may not coincide with the interests of our shareholders, which could result in a loss of confidence by our shareholders or potential investors adversely affecting the value of our common stock.

11:   We are not indemnified under our agreement with Garnet.

While Garnet is responsible for the rental and operation of heavy equipment and labor on the Garnet Mineral Property and coordination of the exploration project management, we are not contractually indemnified by Garnet for work stoppage, delays or interruption of operations, as a result of not being able to provide these services in a timely manner. Lack of performance or untimely performance on the part of Garnet could result in increased costs, monetary losses, legal liability and possible adverse state governmental or BLM action. The inability of Garnet to perform could cause a delay in the progress of our exploration on our Garnet Mineral Property and our progression from exploration into the development and production stages of mining, which may have an adverse effect on our financial position, shareholders, and the identification of future financing. The potential costs associated with losses or liabilities not covered by Garnet's insurance would have a material adverse effect on our financial position and have an adverse effect on the shareholders and the value of our common stock.

12:   Reliance on third party contractors.

The success of our Company will largely depend on the performance of our third party contractors to provide mine and mill engineering, the rental and operation of heavy equipment, including drill rigs and labor, on the Garnet Mineral Property and coordination of the exploration

Return to Table of Contents

15


project management. In addition, our contractors may face a shortage of equipment and skilled personnel with the necessary experience in order to complete the work required in the implementation of our business plan in a workman-like manner. Several of these third party contractors include, Cowboy Equipment, LLC c/o Roland Schumacher, the individual providing the heavy and industrial equipment used in the current mineralized material shipping activities currently underway on the Lead King site; CDM Constructors, Inc., the firm providing support services for mine and mill development; and O'Keefe Drilling, Inc., the firm completing all reverse circulation drilling. CDM Constructors, Inc. and O'Keefe Drilling, Inc. have substantial accounts payable from the Company and have been forced to limit, and may from time to time be forced to discontinue their services on our Garnet Mineral Property until such time that the Company is able to pay all or a portion of its obligations. A shortage of skilled and experienced contractors could have a material adverse effect on our ability to carry on our operations and therefore limit, delay, or increase the cost of our operations which in turn could have an adverse affect on the value of our common stock, and could cause our business to fail.

In addition, in the event that we are not able to pay the accounts payable to CDM Contractors, Inc. or O'Keefe Drilling, they may file a mechanics lien and potentially file a law suit against GHC and its patented and unpatented mining claims. This encumbrance could limit the Company in its efforts to raise capital or use the properties as collateral in a loan transaction. This inability to raise capital would have an adverse effect on the Company and its shareholders and could cause our Company to fail.

13:   We have entered into an orderly plan for payment to cure a default under the terms of our contract with one of our third party contractors, who has filed a lien secured by 6 of our 23 optioned patented mineral claims and 2 of our 122 optioned unpatented mineral claims.

We are currently in default under the terms of our contract with one of our third party contractors, CDM Constructors, Inc., who had filed a UCC Lien in the amount of $674,371 on certain assets. The assets named in the lien include all recovered valuable minerals, the proceeds, products, refined materials, dore', bullion, and accounts relating to valuable minerals currently stockpiled on the following patented claims optioned through Commonwealth Resources, LLC: Free Coin MS 4652, Lead King MS 4811, Bull's Eye MS 4651, Bull's Eye Fraction MS 9405, Grant and Hartford MS 7327, White Cloud MS 5631, Red Cloud MS 5451 and on the following unpatented claims optioned through Commonwealth Resources, LLC: GHC 50 and GHC 52. The Settlement Agreement dated June 6, 2011 assigns 60% of the net mill receipts to the vendor related to shipments from the mining operations located on any of the described mineral claims, including the mining operations on the Lead King MS 4811 patented mining claim, to pay the outstanding balance. The balance owed to the vendor at June 30, 2012 is $349,712.

While we are in default under the terms of our contract and there is a lien filed against the assets described above, we have entered into the .822656113.Combination Settlement Agreement, Security Agreement, and Assignment of Proceeds, which sets forth an orderly plan for payment of the balance owed, thus, CDM Constructors, Inc. is continuing to provide us services necessary for our continued exploration and operations on our Garnet Mineral Property. In the event that we are unable to satisfy the requirements of the orderly plan for payment, CDM Constructors,

Return to Table of Contents

Inc. may be forced to limit, or discontinue their services on our Garnet Mineral Property until such time that the Company is able to pay all or a portion of its obligations. This limited or discontinued service could have a material adverse effect on our ability to carry on our operations and therefore limit, delay, or increase the cost of our operations which in turn could have an adverse affect on the value of our common stock, and could cause our business to fail. Additionally, a default on any part of this agreement would clearly prohibit our ability to use these assets as collateral to obtain debt financing, which could adversely affect the execution of our business plan.

14:   Construction Lien

On February 14, 2012, American Buildings Company ("American") filed a Construction Lien for non-payment by us pursuant to Title 71, Chapter 3, of the Montana Code Annotated. At the request of R & R Shear Construction, P.O. Box 503, Frenchtown, MT., American provided a pre-fabricated metal building and components. The Construction Lien was filed against the Nancy Hanks Lode Mining Claim Survey No. 5365, which is owned by Commonwealth Resources, LLC. The unpaid balance on the services and materials at June 30, 2012 is $48,622. While the Construction Lien was not filed against us, our Option Agreement between us and Commonwealth encumbers the title to the Nancy Hanks Mining Claim which could impair our future financing to our detriment.

15:   Exploration stage and early development stage mining companies experience a high rate of failure from the occurrence of unanticipated issues.

Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by exploration stage and early development stage companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration and development stages. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and development, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The exploration stage also involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure, or against which we may elect not to insure. In addition, there is no assurance that the expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the mineral claims will result in determining the existence of proven/probable reserve deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts and such results could adversely affect the execution of our business plan.

16:   Our property insurance may not cover liability that we may be subject to in the future.

At the present time, we have a property liability insurance policy that covers all of our current surface operations. We cannot ensure that a property liability insurance policy will continue to be available, or to be available at a favorable rate, which would force us to proceed in implementing our business plan with inadequate or no property liability insurance. We cannot

Return to Table of Contents

17


ensure that our current coverage will sufficiently protect us against all unanticipated hazards, and if and when our operations expand to include more extensive above surface and underground exploration, our current property liability coverage may be insufficient. The payment of such liabilities, that are uncovered, or insufficiently covered, by our current property liability policy, may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

17:   Non-Consent to Use Geological Reports.

We have been unable to obtain consents for two historical geological reports: the "Garnet Project Summary," prepared by Pegasus Gold Corporation, and the "Mineral Property Valuation of the Garnet and Copper Cliff Mining Districts in Garnet and Missoula Counties," prepared by Dr. John C. Brower, Ph.D. We have deemed it necessary to include portions of these reports, without the expert consents and with the acknowledgement that the reports are over ten years old because the information in these reports describe the historical geological condition of the Garnet Mineral Property, and historical exploratory mineralized material findings on such Garnet Mineral Property. The information contained in these reports was a contributing factor in entering into the option agreement with Commonwealth and to the development of our current exploratory drilling program on the Garnet Mineral Property. Because we have been unable to obtain the consents of the authors of these geological reports, we have adopted the conclusions contained in such reports as our own, even though we are not experts qualified to have prepared such reports and even though we have not independently verified the accuracy of such reports. No assurance can be given that the conclusions set forth in such reports were accurate when made, were based on the opinions of experts willing to stand behind them, or that such conclusions are accurate presently.

18:   We will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

As the Company moves into the development stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any significant revenues. We expect to incur continuing and significant losses into the foreseeable future. As a result of continuing losses, we may exhaust all of our resources and may not be able to complete exploration of our acquired and optioned mineral claims. Our accumulated deficit will continue to increase as we continue to incur losses. We may not be able to generate profits or continue operations if we are unable to generate significant revenues from future mining of the mineral claims even if we exercise our options and our business will most likely fail.

19:   Because access to the mineral property may be restricted by inclement weather, the Company may be delayed in its exploration efforts.

Access to the mineral property may be restricted during parts of the year, due to weather in the area. The property is in a mountainous area in the Garnet Mining District, Granite County, Montana which is accessible by county roads, BLM roads, and private roads. Although these roads have been used for exploration in the past, they are best traveled by four-wheel drive vehicles from spring to the beginning of winter. During the winter months, heavy snowfall can make it difficult to undertake work programs. We do not currently plan drilling operations in the winter months. Frequent inclement weather in the winter months makes exploration activities difficult and the planning of exploration activities challenging. As a result, any attempt to

Return to Table of Contents

18


explore the property is largely limited to the times when weather permits such activities. The most efficient time for us to conduct our work programs is during the months of May through November. These limitations can result in significant delays in our exploration efforts, as well as any future production. Delays in exploration and drilling due to inclement weather could significantly increase the time that it would take to explore the property, generate any operating revenues or achieve profitable operations, which could cause the failure of our business.

20:   The Company has opened a portal at the Nancy Hanks Mine for underground mining.

While the Company has been successful in opening a portal at the Nancy Hanks Mine, it is only 400 feet deep. There is still substantial work to be done in order to bring mineralized material to the surface. While we are confident that we can bring mineralized material to the surface, there are still hazards with respect to cave-ins, explosions, water flooding, injuries to work personnel, fluctuations in production cost, unanticipated variations in grade and other geological problems which may cause delays, further expense and slow downs. These potential delays could have an adverse effect on our ability to meet deadlines and cause a failure to achieve our business plan goals to the detriment of our shareholders.

21:   The mine exploration business is highly competitive.

The mine exploration business is highly competitive. Our preparation activities will be focused on exploring our mineral property in order to determine the existence of proven/probable reserves. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources than we have. As a result, we may experience difficulty competing with other businesses regarding availability of equipment, qualified personnel, and future financing. If we are unable to retain qualified personnel, locate needed equipment while conducting exploration activities, or identify future financing, we may experience a delay in entering into the development and production stages and may be unable to achieve profitable operations, causing our business to fail.

22:   A ready market may not exist for the sale of any proven/probable reserves identified in the future.

Even if we are able to successfully explore, develop and prepare an established commercially minable proven/probable reserve deposit, a ready market may not exist for the sale of the extracted proven/probable reserves. Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of gold proven/probable reserves that are prepared for production. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets, processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, and environmental laws and regulations. These factors could inhibit our ability to sell proven/probable reserves in the event that we are able to successfully explore, develop, produce and prepare an established commercially minable proven/probable reserve deposit for extraction, resulting in a materially adverse affect on our financial position, and the potential failure of our business.

23:   Our operations are subject to numerous governmental permits which are difficult to obtain, and we may not be able to obtain or renew all of the permits we require, or such permits may not be timely obtained or renewed.

In the ordinary course of business we are required to obtain and renew governmental permits for our operations, including operation and expansion of our exploration, and future development and production activities. Obtaining or renewing the necessary governmental permits is a complex and time consuming process involving costly undertakings by our Company, and specifically by CDM Constructors, Inc., which presently assists us in preparing our governmental permits. The duration and success of our efforts to obtain and renew permits are contingent upon many variables not within our control including the interpretation of applicable requirements implemented by the permitting authority. We may not be able to obtain or renew permits that are necessary to our operations, or the cost to obtain or renew permits may exceed our estimates. Failure to comply with applicable environmental and health and safety laws and regulations may result in injunctions, fines, suspension or revocation of permits and other penalties. There can be no assurance that we have been or will at all times be in full compliance with all such laws and regulations and with our environmental and health and safety permits or that we have all required permits. The costs and delays associated with compliance with such laws, regulations and permits and with the permitting process could stop us from proceeding with the exploration or future development and production of our Garnet Mineral Property and could increase the costs of exploration, and future development and production, and may materially adversely affect our business results of operations or financial condition and may cause the failure of our business.

24:   Our anticipated underground mining operations are subject to stringent federal and state safety regulations that could increase our cost of doing business, and may place restrictions on our operating methods. In addition, government inspectors under certain circumstances, have the ability to order our operations to be shut down based on safety considerations.

>Our anticipated underground mining operations at our Nancy Hanks underground mining site are regulated by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) pursuant to Title 30 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and specifically Parts 47 Hazard Communication; 48 Training and retraining of miners; 56 Safety and health standards - surface; 57 Safety and Health Standards - underground; 58 Health standards for metal and non metal mines; and 62 Occupational noise exposure. These regulations are comprehensive and affect numerous aspects of mining operations, including training of mine personnel, mining procedures, the equipment used in mine emergency procedures, mine plans and other matters. The various requirements mandated by laws or regulations can have a significant effect on operating costs and place restrictions on our methods of operations. In addition, the Company is required to enact a safety program, including planned actions setting forth procedures for emergencies, which include, but are not limited to cave-ins, power outages, explosions, fire, inundation, ground control failures, and landslides. Failure to adhere to MSHA standards and regulations could subject the Company to costly fines, mine closure and possible injury and/ or death, which may become a source of liability and may create an adverse affect on any future revenues and the shareholders would be subsequently adversely affected.

25:   We are subject to Section 229.104 Mining Safety Statue and Regulations.

The Company had one citation and zero significant and substantial violations for the six months ended June 30, 2012, however, in the period ending December 31, 2011, we had two significant and substantial (S&S) violations and 30 citations pursuant to Section 104(d) of the Act (30 U.S.C.) 814(b). While we have dealt with these violations, any continued violations may subject us to sanctions and potential legal proceedings. Continued violations could also subject GHC to fines, disrupt our business, or cause closure of our business. These events could adversely affect our ability to raise capital, our ability to implement our business plan, and our shareholders would be adversely affected, as it relates to shareholder value.

26:   There is a limited potential for acid drainage from wastes on our exploration and future mining activities at the Garnet Mineral Property.

Although baseline water testing of the historic Garnet Mineral Property does not show, either widespread or, significant acid rock drainage issues, even after 100 years of mining in the area, our own geochemical testing of the mineralized material from our exploration activities shows a limited potential for acid drainage from our wastes. To mitigate this potential occurrence and reduce the risks from acid rock drainage, we propose good waste management practices such as, runoff control, lined tailings impoundments, and additional testing. While appropriate steps will be taken to prevent the potential for acid mine drainage, discharges of pollutants into the groundwater and the environment may occur and become a source of liability, which would have an adverse affect on any future revenues and our shareholders would be subsequently adversely affected.

27:   We must comply with all Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements, such as the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.

Throughout our exploration and future development and production activities on our Garnet Mineral Property, we fall under the jurisdiction of the EPA and must comply with all of their requirements such as the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. While we believe that there is limited potential for non-compliance due to the minimal disturbance produced from our exploration activities, we work closely with the State of Montana Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ") to assess and mitigate any potential environmental impacts through good waste management practices. Even through our waste management practices, there is no assurance that we can completely eliminate discharges of pollutants into the ground water and the environment, which may become a source of liability and may create an adverse affect on any future revenues and the shareholders would be subsequently adversely affected.

28:   Our exploration operations are subject to any future environmental regulations, which could result in additional costs and operational delays.

All phases of our operations are subject to current and future environmental regulations. Environmental legislation evolves in a manner which may require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and

Return to Table of Contents

21


their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that any future changes in environmental regulation will not adversely affect our exploration, development and production efforts.

29:   Our exploration activities rely upon our ability to retain our current mining permit and obtain additional permits for our future operations.

The majority of the wastes generated on the Garnet Mineral Property will be characterized as an exempt waste pursuant to the Bevill Exemption from the Hazardous Waste Rules under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"). Therefore waste management on our Garnet Mineral Property will be regulated by the DEQ through its' mine permitting process. Concurrently, we hold a Small Miner Exclusion Statement and an Exploration Permit and are in compliance with, the Small Mine Exclusion requirements required by the State of Montana DEQ. Our current plan is to continue our exploration activities through our small miner permit, until such time that our required surface disturbance is greater than five acres. We are required to obtain drilling permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for this physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with the DEQ and BLM laws, rules and regulations. While we have planned exploration program budgets for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new laws, rules or regulations could increase our costs of doing business, preventing us from carrying out our exploration program and, therefore, adversely affecting our operational results.

Additionally, we anticipate being able to begin underground mining with this small miner permit, there is no guarantee that our operations will be successful, or that our operation will not require a surface disturbance larger than five acres. In the event that our future operations require an additional surface disturbance, there is no guarantee that we will successfully prepare and receive a full mine permit. Therefore, failure to maintain our current small mining permit, or obtain a full mining permit would interfere with our plan of operations, which would have an adverse affect on any future revenues and the shareholders would be subsequently adversely affected. In addition, any changes to these laws and regulations could have an adverse impact on our financial performance and results of operations by, for example, required changes to operation constraints, technical criteria, fees or surety requirements.

30:   Several of our Prospecting Leases are on BLM owned patented claims.

On May 24, 2010, we acquired eight Prospecting Leases on BLM owned patented claims, which are part of public lands administered by the BLM Montana State Office. The land where these Prospecting Leases are located is governed by the laws and regulations of the U.S. Federal Government and the State of Montana. Any changes to the laws and regulations governing mining operations on public lands could have an adverse impact on our financial performance and results of operations by, for example, required changes to operation constraints, technical criteria, fees or surety requirements.

31:   We may produce air emissions and pollutions that could fall under the jurisdiction of U.S. Federal Laws.

Under the U.S. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, mining companies may incur costs for generating, transporting, treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous waste, as well as for closure and post-closure maintenance once they have completed mining activities on a property. Our mining operations may produce air emissions, including fugitive dust and other air pollutants, from stationary equipment, storage facilities, and the use of mobile sources such as trucks and heavy construction equipment which are subject to review, monitoring and/or control requirements under the Federal Clean Air Act and State air quality laws. Permitting rules may impose limitations on our production levels or create additional capital expenditures in order to comply with the rules.

32:   Any new legislation that may be proposed could significantly affect the mining industry.

Members of the U.S. Congress have repeatedly introduced, and may introduce in the future, bills which would supplant or alter the provisions of the Mining Law of 1872. If enacted, such legislation could change the costs of holding unpatented mining claims and could significantly impact our ability to develop mineralized material on unpatented mining claims. In the past, such bills have proposed, among other things, to either eliminate or greatly limit the right to a mineral patent and to impose a deferral royalty on production from unpatented mining claims. Although it is impossible to predict at this point what, if any, legislated royalties might be, any future enactment could adversely affect the potential for development of our mining claims on federal unpatented mining claims. Any future passage of such legislation could adversely affect our financial performance.

33:   Increased costs could affect our financial condition.

We anticipate that costs on our Garnet Mineral Property will frequently be subject to variation from one year to the next due to a number of factors, such as changing mineralized material grade, metallurgy and revisions to mine plans in response to the physical shape and location of the mineralized material body. In addition, costs are affected by the price of commodities such as fuel and electricity. Such commodities are at times subject to volatile price movements, including increases that could make production at certain operations less profitable. A material increase in costs on our Garnet Mineral Property could have a significant effect on our profitability.

34:   In the event that our optioned mining claims become invalid, we will lose all rights that we have in the 23 patented and 122 unpatented mining claims.

We have an option to acquire 23 patented and 122 unpatented mining claims owned by Commonwealth. WGM Group, a professional survey company in Missoula, Montana, surveyed, staked and filed all 122 unpatented claims. These claims were staked on public lands administered by the BLM. The right to conduct exploration, development and production mining programs on these 122 unpatented mining claims is subject to permitting by the BLM. The right to conduct exploration, development and production mining programs on the 23 patented mining

claims is subject to permitting by the Montana DEQ. The invalidity of any claims would have an adverse affect on any future revenues.

In order to keep the 122 unpatented mining claims in good standing, the BLM requires an annual maintenance fee be paid before August 31st of each year. In the event that these maintenance fees are not paid by the August 31st deadline, the mining claims become invalid and revert to the BLM. In the event that our mining claims become invalid, we will lose all rights that we have in the 122 unpatented mining claims.

In order to keep the 23 patented mining claims in good standing, the Granite County, Montana Treasurer requires assessed property taxes to be paid for each respective mining claim by July 31st of each year. If we fail to pay property taxes in a timely manner, we risk losing our rights in the 23 patented mining claims. Current annual maintenance fees amount to $29,680 for unpatented claims and current property taxes on the 23 patented claims amount to $1,540. If these fees are not satisfied by us and/or Commonwealth, we would lose our rights in the claims and our shareholders would be adversely affected.

35:   In the event that we fail to make our scheduled option payments, we will lose all interest that we have in the optioned patented and unpatented mining claims.

We have an option to acquire 23 patented and 122 unpatented mining claims that are owned or optioned by Commonwealth. Under our Option Agreement with Commonwealth, in lieu of our required annual option payments of $190,000 due on June 15, 2012, Commonwealth has agreed to payment in either cash or in-kind by way of payments to third parties for surface improvements to the property made for the benefit of Commonwealth and valued at $190,000. The $190,000 annual option payment will resume during 2013 and 2014, and will increase to

$400,000 during 2015 and 2016. Under our Surface Access Lease with Commonwealth we are required to make annual access lease payments of $60,000. In the event that we fail to make these payments in a timely manner, we may risk losing all rights in and to the claims.

36:   In the event that our acquired mining claims and leasehold interests become invalid, we will lose the 90 and 177 unpatented mining claims and 8 leasehold interests.

On May 24, 2010, the Company entered into the Share Purchase Agreement with Commonwealth, to acquire 90 unpatented mining claims and 8 prospecting leases on United States BLM owned patented mining claims. We are required to make timely payment of all fees, including, but not limited to, all annual maintenance fees required by the BLM, and, if applicable, timely take any other actions necessary to keep all unpatented claims in good standing. The 8 leasehold interests on BLM-owned patented claims rely upon a prospecting permit obtained through the BLM. These leasehold interests will continue in perpetuity provided that the Company, (i) files an extension for its Prospecting Permit 90 days prior to the expiration date, (ii) tenders the annual rental payment, equal to $0.50 per acre, or a minimum of $20, (iii) drills or excavates at least one exploration hole, trench, test pit, or performs some other comparable exploration, and (iv) periodically updates the BLM on our operations plan and obtains and maintains an adequate bond. In the event we fail to maintain the acquired mining claims and leasehold interests in good standing, or in the event we do not exercise our option to

24


purchase the 122 unpatented and 23 patented mining claims, we are required to convey the 90 unpatented mining claims and 8 leasehold interests to Commonwealth at no cost to Commonwealth. The invalidity, and loss of our acquired claims and prospector leases would have an adverse affect on any future revenues and the shareholders would be subsequently adversely affected.

GHC acquired 90 unpatented mining claims from Commonwealth under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement of 2010. GHC acquired 177 unpatented mining claims through staking and filing in 2011. In order to keep the 90 and 177 unpatented claims is good standing, the BLM requires an annual maintenance fee of $140 be paid before August 31st of each year. In the event that these maintenance fees are not paid by the August 31st deadline, the mining claims become invalid and revert to the BLM. In the event that our mining claims become invalid, we will lose all rights that we have in the 90 and 177 unpatented claims.

37:   We have been exploring a mineral claim, of which we own no right or title to the mineral rights thereon.

The Company has been doing preliminary exploratory work on one (1) patented mining claim referred to as the Grant and Hartford patented mining claim, ms# 7327, for the purpose of potentially acquiring the mineral rights. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the Grant and Hartford mining claim is not included in the Company's optioned, nor purchased, mineral rights. In the event we are unable to obtain the mineral rights to the Grant and Hartford mining claim, we will be unable to proceed with our exploration activities on the claim and will lose the value of our exploration results that we have already completed on the claim area. In addition, in the event we are unable to obtain the mineral rights, we may be unable to recover the expenditure of time and money devoted to the exploration, which would have an adverse effect on the implementation of our business plan and potential revenues.

38:   Compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley may result in our inability to achieve profitability.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted to increase corporate responsibility and accountability, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties relating to publicly-traded companies, and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to U.S. federal securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Upon becoming a publicly reporting company, we are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and its costs to remain in compliance with the federal securities regulations. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly to attract or may deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and board committee members, which are required pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we may not be able to provide effective management or comply with federal law. Additionally, significant costs incurred as a result of being a public company could divert the use of finances from our operations resulting in the Company's inability to achieve profitability.

Risk Factors Relating to Our Common Stock and this Offering

39:   We are required to annually evaluate our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any adverse results from such evaluation could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have a material effect on the price of our Common Stock.

Under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish a report by our management on internal control over financial reporting. Such a report must contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, including a statement as to whether or not our internal control over financial reporting is effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by our management. If we are unable to maintain and to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if we disclose material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

40:   Indemnification of Officers and Directors may prohibit stockholder action against the Company.

Our Bylaws provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Montana law for any person whom we may indemnify thereunder; including our directors, officers, employees and agents. As a result, stockholders may be unable to recover damages against directors for actions taken by them in good faith and with the belief that such actions served the best interests of the Company, whether or not such actions actually did. Our Bylaws, therefore, may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and other types of stockholder litigation, even though such action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.

41:   We are subject to compliance with securities law, which exposes us to potential liabilities, including potential rescission rights.

Our shares of common stock have been offered to prospective investors pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Unless the sale of our common stock otherwise qualifies for the statutory private offering exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, purchasers of our common stock may have the right to rescind their purchase if any of our offerings fail to comply with the requirements of Regulation D. A similar right may exist under state securities law. If we have used the proceeds raised from any of our offerings prior to the time at which a rescission claim is made, there can be no assurance that any funds will be available to return to any investors who may be entitled to the rescission of their purchase of our common stock.

The basis for relying on such exemptions is factual; that is, the applicability of such exemptions depends upon our conduct and that of those persons contacting prospective investors and completing the sales of our common stock pursuant to our various offerings. We have not received a legal opinion to the effect that any of our prior offerings were exempt from

Return to Table of Contents

26


registration under any federal or state law. Instead, we have relied upon the operative facts as the basis for such exemptions, including information provided by investors themselves. If any prior offering did not qualify for such exemption, we may face claims for rescission and other remedies. We may become engaged in costly litigation to defend these claims, which would lead to increased expenditures for legal fees and divert management's attention from operating the business of the Company. If we could not successfully defend these claims, we may be required to return proceeds from our offerings to investors, which would harm our financial condition. Additionally, if we did not, in fact, qualify for the exemptions upon which we have relied, we may become subject to significant fines and penalties imposed by the SEC and state securities agencies.

42:   The price of our Common Stock may be adversely affected by fluctuations in gold prices.

The price of our common stock, our financial results, and our exploration and future development and mining activities may be significantly adversely affected by declines in the price of gold. Mineral prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, and the political and economic conditions of mineral producing countries throughout the world.

43:   We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to distribute cash dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock, and we do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. In the future, the payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our Board of Directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

44:   There is no public trading market for our Common Stock and no public market may develop.

Even though the Company's first Registration Statement on Form S-1 was declared effective by the SEC on January 5, 2010, there is no trading market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that such a market will commence in the future. There can be no assurance that an investor will be able to liquidate his or her investment without considerable delay, if at all. If a trading market does commence, the price may be highly volatile.

45:   Our Common Stock may be deemed a "penny stock", which would make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares

Our common stock in all likelihood will trade at a price below $5.00 per share and become subject to the "penny stock" rules enacted by the SEC. This would increase the likelihood that

Return to Table of Contents

27


many brokerage firms will not participate in a potential future market for our common stock. These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than "established customers" complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.

46:   Our common stock is subject to certain restrictions on transferability.

Because our offerings of common stock have been made pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and have not been registered, sales and other transfers of our common stock purchased in our various private offerings are subject to certain restrictions. Shareholders may become frustrated at their inability to liquidate their shares.

47:   Commonwealth owns a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

Commonwealth owns approximately 59.88%, or 20,759,532 shares of our total outstanding common stock. The following individuals, officers and affiliates of our Company, are members of Commonwealth and have beneficial ownership and the right to vote the following shares of our Company held by Commonwealth: Eric Sauve, 2,218,945 shares; Aaron Charlton, 11,645,181 shares; Kim L. Charlton, 2,255,830 shares and Rodney K. Haynes, 4,639,576 shares. Accordingly, these stockholders, as a group, will be able to control, among other things, the outcome of stockholders votes, including the election of directors, adoption of amendments to our Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions such as mergers. Eric Sauve is our President, CEO, CFO and a director, Aaron Charlton, our Senior Consultant and the Chairman of our Board of Directors, supervises our drilling program, deals with contractors and is our liaison with the BLM state and local agencies, Kim Charlton is Aaron Charlton's sister. The interests of Commonwealth and our management may not coincide with the interests of our shareholders, which could result in a loss of confidence by our shareholders or potential investors, adversely affecting the value of our common stock. Any conflicts of interest between the Company and Commonwealth could delay the implementation of our business plan, which could have a detrimental effect on our business and the value of our shareholders' investment.
