Sale of AGC Resources LLC
4.              Sale of AGC Resources LLC

On June 14, 2011, the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Devtec Management Ltd. (“Devtec”), pursuant to which the Company sold its subsidiary, AGC, which owns certain properties in Boulder, Colorado (see note 3(b) for a discussion of the specific assets purchased by AGC in June 2010), to Devtec for a total of $2 million, plus royalty. Under the terms of the agreement, Devtec will pay the Company $1 million upon production of the cumulative total of 1,000 ounces of gold and/or silver, and a further $1 million on the six month anniversary of the payment of the first $ 1 million. Additionally, Devtec will pay the Company a 5% royalty from the start of production.

The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of minerals the properties will produce, if any, and thus there is uncertainty as to whether the purchase price will be collected. Further, the collection of any purchase price is also contingent on the outcome of the court case described in note 3(b). Given these factors, collection of the purchase price is not considered reasonably possible at the time of these consolidated financial statements given the current uncertain status of exploration work on the Boulder ,Colorado properties and the uncertainties of the related legal action and thus no purchase price has been recorded as of June 30, 2011. Therefore, the Company is recognizing a loss on the sale of its subsidiary of $2,512,290 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, which represents the net book value of the assets transferred to Devtec on June 14, 2011 (no liabilities were assumed by Devtec) as follows:

Buildings and equipment
  $ 753,605  
Participating interest in mineral property
    1,758,685  
    $ 2,512,290
