Item 3.02                      Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On April 1, 2014, the Registrant accepted a conversion notice from Tangiers Investors LP, ("Tangiers") to partially satisfy a $750,000 Convertible Promissory Note Agreement ("the Note") dated October 2, 2012 with Tangiers. The Note has a term of twenty four (24) months and accrues interest at a rate equal to 7% per year.  Unless repaid in cash, the Lender has the right to convert all or part of the outstanding and unpaid Principal Sum and accrued interest into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Registrant. The Conversion Price shall be the undiscounted volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) on the date prior to conversion, subject to a floor price of $0.0129 per share, and a ceiling price of the undiscounted VWAP on the date each tranche received by the Registrant. In accordance with the terms of the Note and receipt of the required conversion notice from Tangiers, the Note was partially converted into 3,000,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company to satisfy $76,800 of the principal plus accrued interest. The shares issued were valued at $0.0256 per share, which was equal to undiscounted VWAP of our common stock on the date immediately preceding the conversion date.   The remaining amount currently outstanding on the Note, including accrued interest, is now $374,758.

The Note has a maturity date of thirteen (13) months from the Effective Date.  The Note is self-amortizing, such that it may be repaid in cash in eight (8) monthly installments of $35,000 plus accrued interest beginning 180 days from the Effective Date.  In lieu of cash payments, the Company may elect to convert the note to shares at 70% of the arithmetic average of the two (2) lowest VWAPs of the shares of Common Stock during the twenty five (25) consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding the date of such conversion.  No conversion can occur prior to 180 days from the Effective Date.  In addition, the Company retains the option of pre-paying the Note at any time at an amount equal to 125% of the outstanding principal and the accrued and unpaid interest.  In accordance with the terms of the Note and receipt of the required conversion notice from Typenex, the Note was partially converted into 2,773,925 restricted shares of common stock of the Company to satisfy $40,000 of the principal plus accrued interest. The shares issued were valued at $0.01442 per share, which was equal to 70% of the average of the two lowest VWAPs of our common stock in the 25 trading days immediately preceding the conversion notice date. .   The remaining amount currently outstanding on the Note, including accrued interest, is now $256,982.
