The Company’s subsidiary, Grupo Mineral Inca, SAC. “GMI” has entered into a Joint Venture Agreement “JVA” to purchase an undivided 50% interest in a producing cooper mine. This is a hard rock project located in the Andes Mountains of Southeastern Peru. Terms of the JVA are GMI will provide a cash infusion and equipment to the already producing project. The initial cash payment for the JV was loaned to the company by our CEO, Paul Howarth, via Renard Properties, LLC. Terms of the loan are interest only payments for the next two years and a balloon payment due at the expiration of the two 2 year term, or at profitability, which ever comes first. Our CEO will have a lien against the project until all monies advanced plus interest is paid in full. This agreement has no guaranteed stock conversion rights or guaranteed stock conversion discount. Our CEO has no intention of converting this specific note into stock. The project currently has 3.7 miles of tunnels blasted and has one ore shaft, or “Pick” ready to be mined. Currently, we are hiring 25 additional mine workers and support staff and plan on opening up two more “Picks” for increased ore volume. 100 percent of the cash infusion provided by GMI will go to expanding its operation’s at the site. All needed equipment for processing the ore and making it ready to ship to the refinery were put in place this week. The company has also retained a Metal ore Scientist to supervise the refining process. Because if its remote location, the workers are going to work in 45 day cycles. At the end of each 45 day cycle, the ore will be loaded into dump trucks and transported to the refinery for processing. The refining process takes 5-7 days. Then the company will have sellable copper concentrate with smaller amounts of sellable silver and gold.
