EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Form 8-K Report is being made pursuant to and in reliance upon the Commission’s March 4, 2020 Order (Release No. 34-88318), as modified on March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465). March 25, 2020 SEC Release No. 34-88465 (the “Order”) in connection with the below request for relief to file a Form 8-K when an SEC Registrant is unable to meet a filing deadline due to circumstances related to COVID-19.

Item 8.01 Other Events

Our Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2020 was due on or about May 15, 2020 (the “10-Q”). We are relying on the Commission’s orders and are requesting relief from the Commission to delay the filing the 10-Q due to the circumstances surrounding COVID-19. COVID-19 has not allowed our officers to adequately coordinate and complete matters pertaining to the 10-Q in a timely manner. In particular, Company personnel had limited access to the Clavo Rico mine in Honduras due to in-country requirements related to COVID-19. We estimate that we will be able to file the 10-Q before June 26, 2020, which is within the 45 day filing requirement provided for in the Order.

In light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will be including the following Risk Factor in its Report:

An occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations.

The occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations. A pandemic typically results in social distancing, travel bans and quarantine, and this may limit access to our facilities, customers, management, support staff and professional advisors. These factors, in turn, may not only impact our operations, financial condition and demand for our goods and services but our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Also, it may hamper our efforts to comply with our filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
