Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

As described in Items 4.01(a) and (b) below, Geovic Mining Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Registrant”), has replaced Ernst & Young LLP as Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm with Haynie and Company as its new independent registered public accounting firm.  As described below, the change in independent public accounting firms is not the result of any disagreement with Ernst & Young LLP.

Item 4.01(a)       Previous Independent Accountants

(i)       On January 21, 2014, Registrant dismissed its independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP. The Audit Committee of Registrant’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) made the decision to dismiss Ernst & Young LLP and engage Haynie & Company, Certified Public Accountants as Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, as described below.

The report of Ernst & Young LLP on the Registrant’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 raised substantial doubt about the Registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern, noting that Registrant has not established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover Registrant’s operating costs.

During Registrant’s two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period before such dismissal, there were no disagreements with Ernst & Young LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report. 

(ii)      Registrant has provided Ernst & Young LLP a copy of the statements made in response to this Item 4.01 and has requested Ernst & Young LLP to furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Ernst & Young LLP agrees with such statements.  A copy of the letter of Ernst & Young LLC is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.

Item 4.01(b)       New Independent Accountants

On January 21, 2014 the Audit Committee engaged Haynie & Company, Certified Public Accountants as Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013. Registrant has not consulted with Haynie & Company, Certified Public Accountants during its two most recent fiscal years or during any subsequent interim period prior to its appointment as Registrant’s auditor with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on Registrant’s consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events as defined in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
