Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On February 1, 2013, Tara Minerals Corp., a Nevada corporation (the“Company”), provided notice to its principal independent registered public accounting firm, Wilson Morgan LLP (“Wilson Morgan”) that the Company has elected to terminate its relationship.

a) Resignation of Current Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

i. On February 1, 2013, Wilson Morgan was dismissed as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

ii. The Company’s Board of Directors approved the dismissal on February 1, 2013.

iii. Wilson Morgan’s audit report on the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2011, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles, other than an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

iv. From February 17, 2012, the date the Company engaged Wilson Morgan as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm in connection with the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011, and Wilson Morgan’s reviews of the Company’s quarterly interim unaudited financial information from March 31, 2012 through September 30, 2012, through the date of dismissal on February 1, 2013, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would have caused Wilson Morgan to make reference in connection with their opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement, nor did Wilson Morgan advise the Company of any of the matters identified in Item 304(a)(1)(v)(A)-(D) of Regulation S-K.

v. The Company provided Wilson Morgan with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K and requested that Wilson Morgan furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not they agree with the above statements. The Company has received the requested letter from Wilson Morgan, and a copy of such letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b) Engagement of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.

On February 1, 2013, the Company retained StarkSchenkein, LLP as the Company’s new principal independent registered public accounting firm. This engagement was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.  During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, and any subsequent interim period through February 1, 2013, the Company has not consulted StarkSchenkein, LLP regarding the application of accounting principles related to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or as to any disagreement or reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) and Item 304(a)(1)(v), respectively, of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
