Item 1 BUSINESS

History

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on June 27, 2008 as “USD Energy Corp.” Our historical plan of operations was to engage in the business of natural gas and oil production, with an emphasis on providing enhanced methods for redeveloping low risk developmental oil and gas wells. Until December 31, 2010, we had nominal cash and other assets and nominal operations, which made us a “shell” corporation as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

On December 31, 2010, USD Energy Corp. acquired Santa Teresa Minerals through an exchange agreement with its shareholders. Santa Teresa Minerals was formed on July 27, 2008 as a limited liability company organized under the laws of Chile, South America. Under the exchange agreement, we acquired all of the outstanding securities of Santa Teresa Minerals in exchange for 25,500,000 shares of our Common Stock and a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,087,000. We accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. As a result of this acquisition (the “Santa Teresa Acquisition”), we ceased to be a “shell” corporation and modified our plan of operations to engage in the current business of Santa Teresa Minerals. On February 4, 2011, we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from “USD Energy Corp.” to “Casablanca Mining Ltd.”  

Mining Operations

We engage, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Santa Teresa Minerals, in the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of gold mining interests in Chile, South America. Our gold mining operations are based near Santiago, Chile.  Santa Teresa Minerals currently has, directly and indirectly through various majority owned subsidiaries, mining rights in a historically producing gold mine, “Free Gold,” and in exploration projects, the “Casuto Project,” consisting of Los Azules 1-3, Tauro 1-6, and Los Chipi 1-16, and the “New Gold/Los Pinos Project,” consisting of Los Pinos 1-30 and Teresita 1-20.  These projects include 30 different gold mining and gold exploration properties.

Santa Teresa Minerals also has a 20% equity interest in a company with interests in a copper sulfate production project and a 60% equity position in a company with the rights to a revolutionary mining technology that extracts gold, silver and copper from raw mining materials using a proprietary and patented electrolysis method of electromining.

Plan of Operations. Our current plan of operations is to perform further exploration, drilling, mapping and where possible mining on our various interests, as follows:

With respect to the Sociedad Contractual Free Gold, we plan to expand the alluvial gold operations at an estimated operating cost of $1.4 million and $4.5 million in capital investments in 2012, by increasing the existing equipment inventory and expanding our alluvial processing plant. We are currently permitted to mine 5,000 cubic meters per month of raw material and are currently seeking to increase the permits to 20,000 cubic meters per month of raw material.

With respect to our properties in the Casuto Project, we intend to conduct further geological assessment studies of the area in order to identify the old river channels and then to plan a campaign of boring and sampling in areas of greater interest. We have not allocated any resources to this activity during 2012.

6

With respect to our New Gold/Los Pinos Project, we intend to build access roads and to perform tunneling works in the second half of 2012. We estimate that this development will cost a total of approximately $800,000, however, we have not funded this amount in our internal budget for 2012.

During the next twelve months, we plan to satisfy our cash requirements through revenues from operations, existing cash and financing commitments, proceeds from the sale of its interests in Sulfatos Chile, and additional equity and debt financings.

Sale of Gold

We have a very small amount of gold that we have collected though our sampling process. We are currently warehousing the gold; it will be sold at a future time, and from time to time, as determined by management.

Employees

We currently have three management level employees who work for Casablanca (one is employed full time, one employed part-time, one is employed on a part-time basis and is not compensated) and one full time management level employee who works for Santa Teresa (who is not compensated).

Santa Teresa Minerals employs thirteen full-time employees.

We may require additional employees in the future as we expand our operations. There is intense competition for capable, experienced personnel and there is no assurance we will be able to obtain new qualified employees when required.

Patents

Santa Teresa Minerals owns a 60% equity interest in Fast Cooper, S.A. which holds the rights to mining technology that extracts gold, silver and copper from raw mining materials using a proprietary and patented electrolysis method of electromining. Patents are issued in the following countries: USA, Chile, China and South Africa. These patents will expire between 2026 and 2027, depending on the country. We also have patent applications pending in the following countries: Canada, Australia and Brazil. The Company owns no other patents or trademarks.

Competition

The exploration for, and the acquisition of gold and other precious metal properties, are subject to intense competition.  We compete with major mining companies and other natural mineral resource companies in the acquisition, exploration, financing and development of new prospects. Factors that allow producers to remain competitive in the market over the long term include the quality and size of their ore bodies, costs of operation, and the acquisition and retention of qualified employees. Many of the companies we compete with are larger and better capitalized than we are.  There is significant competition for the limited number of gold and precious metal acquisition and exploration opportunities. Due to our limited capital and personnel, we are at a competitive disadvantage compared to many other companies with regard to exploration and, if warranted, development of mining properties.  Our present limited funding means that our ability to compete for properties to be explored and developed is limited. Furthermore, the availability of funds for exploration is sometimes limited, and we may find it difficult to compete with larger and more well-known companies for capital.  Our inability to develop our mining properties due to lack of funding, even if warranted, could have a material adverse effect on our operation and financial position. We also compete with other mining companies for skilled mining engineers, mine and processing plant operators and mechanics, geologists, geophysicists and other technical personnel. This could result in higher turnover and greater labor costs. We believe that competition for acquiring mineral prospects will continue to be intense in the future.

Government Regulations and Permits

Our mineral exploration activities are subject to extensive foreign laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection and remediation of the environment, protection of endangered and protected species, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. Mineral exploration is also subject to risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the environment and disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. Compliance with these laws and regulations may impose substantial costs on us and will subject us to significant potential liabilities. Changes in these regulations could require us to expend significant resources to comply with new laws or regulations or changes to current requirements and could have a material adverse effect on our business operations.

Various permits from government bodies are required for mining operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Permits for exploration and development are administered by the Chilean National Geological and Mining Service (SERNAGEOMIN). Environmental compliance is assured via the offices of the National Environmental Committee (CONAMA). Claim titles are recorded at the local Mining Conservator in Copiapo.

We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable mining, health, safety and environmental statutes and the regulations passed thereunder. There are no current orders or directions relating to us with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations. For a more detailed discussion of the various government laws and regulations applicable to our operations and potential negative effects of these laws and regulations please see Item 7 --“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Factors that May Affect Future Operating Results.”

We have obtained or have pending applications for those licenses, permits or other authorizations currently required in conducting our exploration and other programs, but may from time to time need to apply for new, or renew our current, licenses, permits or other authorizations to continue our business or expand our operations. For example, at the Free Gold Project, we are currently permitted to mine 5,000 cubic meters per month of raw material, but we are seeking to increase the permits to 20,000 cubic meters per month of raw material. We are currently working on a mining plan that will be submitted to the local authorities in the first half of 2012. We anticipate that our application will be approved, however, until we receive such permit for increase our mining activities, our operations will be limited to 5,000 cubic meters per month of raw material.

Environmental Regulation

In connection with mining, production and exploration activities, we are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment, including laws and regulations relating to protection of air and water quality, hazardous waste management and mine reclamation as well as the protection of endangered or threatened species. Potential areas of environmental consideration for mining companies, including ours include, but are not limited to, acid rock drainage, cyanide containment and handling, contamination of water courses, dust and noise. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given operation. Specifically, we may be subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. These laws are continually changing and, in general, are becoming more restrictive. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages that we may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons.

8

Chile’s environmental law (Law N^o 19.300), which regulates all environmental activities in the country, was first published in March 1994. An exploration project or field activity cannot be initiated until its potential impact to the environment is carefully evaluated. This is documented in Article 8 of the environmental law and is referred to as the Sistema de Evaluación de Impacto Ambiental (SEIA).

The SEIA is administered and coordinated on both regional and national levels by the Comisión Regional del Medio Ambiente (COREMA) and the Comisión Nacional del Medio Ambiente (CONAMA), respectively. The initial application is generally made to COREMA, in the corresponding region where the property is located, however in cases where the property might affect various regions the application is made directly to the CONAMA. Various other Chilean government organizations are also involved with the review process, however most documentation is ultimately forwarded to CONAMA, which is the final authority on the environment and is the organization that issues the final environmental permits.

Our policy is to conduct business in a way that safeguards public health and the environment. We believe that our operations are conducted in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Operating Mine Interests

Free Gold Company

Santa Teresa Mineral’s majority- owned subsidiary, Sociedad Contractual Free Gold, operates a producing alluvial gold mine in the Marga –Marga wash area of Quilpue, Chile. Alluvial mining refers to mining precious metal deposits found in alluvial deposits, or deposits of sand and gravel in modern or ancient stream beds.

Map of Marga-Marga Wash, Quilpue, Chile

History

The Marga-Marga wash has a history of artisanal alluvial mining since 1542. The area’s historical gold production was the subject of Benjamin Vicuña Mackenna’s book The Golden Age of Chile, that discusses the Marga-Marga area in the second chapter “The Gold in Chile at the Time of Don Pedro de Valdivia” and highlights the discovery of gold mines in Marga-Marga and its “prodigious wealth.” The wash is also mentioned in the fifth Chilean Geological Congress in Santiago, 8-12 August 1988, led by the Department of Geology and Geophysics, University of Chile (Volume 1, pgs. 489-502) which in summary translation states:

“Gold-bearing placers of the Marga-Marga stream in the Valparaíso region have always developed in a stretch of water 8 to 10 km upstream from the aforementioned stream (measured from the merging of the Quilpué stream to the East, and the Viña stream to the West). Practically uninterrupted exploitation of the wash has occurred from the time of the Spaniards in 1542, or around 450 years. The news of the remains of a fossil flora gold producing treasure-trove found in the area of Quilpué, motivated the authors to obtain geological information in relation as to the origin of gold present in the stream.”

Current Study

In June 2011, we received a National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") technical report on our property interests in the Free Gold Project. The Report, entitled "Independent Technical Report Free Gold Property V Region Valparaiso, Chile,” was prepared by the Fladgate Exploration Consulting Corporation under the supervision of Michael Thompson, HBSc, P.Geo and Caitlin Jeffs, HSBc, P .Geo.

The Report states “Through the acquisition of the Free Gold Project, Casablanca has acquired a portion of a major historical placer gold mining district in Chile that has, for the most part, not been subjected to modern exploration and exploitation techniques. The property holds the potential to host significant gold mineralization of similar character and grade as those exploited in the district historically.”

10

The preliminary results of the exploration pit program “confirmed the general location and tenor of the mineralization reported from the 1991 pitting and trenching program. Samples were taken and passed through a wash plant including a series of sluice boxes and a final step of gold panning. Gold recovered from each sample was weighed to determine gold grade per cubic meter. Sampling was extended to bedrock wherever possible.” Results show gold concentration ranging from 0.124 to 1.356 grams per cubic meter, weighted average grade of .665 grams per cubic meter and a mean value of .699 grams per cubic meter. These samples are not “proven” or “probable” reserves, as such terms are defined by regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and may not be indicative of such reserves.

The Report notes, however, that the “Free Gold Project should be considered an early exploration project upon which Casablanca has begun to conduct an exploration program in order to gain a further understanding and testing the extent of the mineralization located on the property.”

Development

The mine is open-pit and consists of 765 hectares on eight claims owned by Sociedad Contractual Free Gold, designated Los Esteros 1 through 5 and Tauro 1-3 in Region V, Quilpue, Chile. Quilpue is serviced by two ports in Valparaiso, a distance of approximately 53 kilometers away via established highways and roads. The property is accessible by access roads from Quilpue to the Marga-Marga creek. We have three trucks, an alluvial plant, a bulldozer and an excavator on site. Well water and electric power are available and in place.

Our historical average cost for operations of this project over the last twelve months is $20,000 a month. We currently have equipment for production of 5,000 cubic meters per month on the property and we expect to increase capacity to 20,000 cubic meters per month once final permitting is approved, which we expect in the second quarter of 2012. This production increase requires a new preparation plant, with production expected to increase to an annual rate of 240,000 cubic meters per year, subject to production conditions. We further anticipate total capital expenditures related to the property to be approximately $4.5 million including the preparation plant and mining equipment and up to $1.4 million for additional exploration. Additional increases in production costs are expected in the coming months to support the increase in production. These additional costs will be financed by a mix of internal resources and capital leases.

Exploration Properties

New Gold/Los Pinos

Santa Teresa Minerals owns a 70% interest in a hard-rock gold mine in Rancagua, Chile. The mining property includes 300 hectares called, “Los Pinos 1-30” and 100 hectares called “Teresita 1-20”. The properties are in the Valley of Cachapoal, on the plateau that lies to the West of the village of Coltauco, 700 meters above sea level, a distance of 55 km from the city of Rancagua, approximately 150 km from Santiago. Santa Teresa Minerals acquired the interests in the New Gold/Los Pinos Project in June 2011 at a cost of $1,200,000, payable in installments, as described in greater detail below under “Results of Operations.”

11

 

Map showing location of New Gold/Los Pinos

History

This mine was mined in the late 1940s until 1949 when, due to a landslide, it was capped and abandoned. In the 1980s it was rediscovered, and is now manifested, measured and current on its claim maintenance requirements.

Current Study

The mine covers an area of 400 hectares and corresponds to a first vein which shows significant potential for gold. The expectations for the mine are derived from the altered area and historical knowledge of a second parallel vein, which shows more potential than the surface gold anomalies of the first vein, and increases the mine’s potential reserves substantially.

Development

We have allocated enough resources in our internal 2012 budget to complete access roads to the mine. We have estimated the total cost to get the mine to a production stage to be approximately $800,000; however, we have not allocated these funds in our internal 2012 budget.

Casuto Wash Location

Santa Teresa Minerals directly and indirectly through several majority owned subsidiaries has interests in several mining claims in the Casuto Project, a gold exploration project. The Casuto Project is comprised of 6,200 hectares, located 20 kilometers to the north of the city of Los Vilos, IV Region, Province of Choapa, Chile, and its central coordinates are N 6.483.000 and E 268.000 at an average height of 50 meters above sea level.

History

The history of the gold deposit dates back to the 1880s, when it was exploited by artisanal miners utilizing shafts, test pits and underground labor, built specifically to recognize the circa, where the most alluvial gold is concentrated. Numerous historical studies have been conducted over the past two centuries, indicating that the site may have significant resources of alluvial material.

Current Study

Santa Teresa Minerals commissioned a geological study by an independent geological consultant, Consultores Geologicos Asociados, on the property in February 2010. The study report, completed in May 2010, concluded that a further geological assessment study was warranted. Specifically, the study recommended a paleo geographic study of the area in order to identify the old river channels and then to plan a campaign of boring and sampling in areas of greater interest. The study was designed to define the form, occurrence and spatial distribution of gold mineralization on the properties, in order to determine the potential utility of economic resources and to propose evaluation studies and detail studies in areas of interest.

The study concluded that there were several old gold bearing washes in the area, the latter of which were mainly associated with vein structures. The mineralization of alluvial gold was deposited in glacial river terraces, through several erosive events and near old river channels, with the highest concentration of gold found on the circa, the area of contact with the bedrock, and possibly caused by erosion of gold structures and zones of stockwork type mineralization, located on the intrusive underlying bedrock.

The study found that mineralization recognized on samplings corresponds mainly to thick gold with particle sizes over 150 mesh. “Mesh” is a unit of measurement equal to approximately 0.24 microns. Historical information indicates that some sectors may contain larger particles and gold bearing nuggets. A sampling of bedrock yielded values of 5 grams per metric ton of gold, indicating significant gold resources in the opinion of the author of the report. These samples are not necessarily considered “proven” or “probable” reserves, as such terms are defined by regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and may not be indicative of such reserves.

In July 2011, we received a National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") technical report on the Casuto Gold Property. The NI 43-101 technical report entitled "Independent Technical Report Casuto Project IV Region Coquimbo, Chile” was prepared by Fladgate Exploration Consulting Corporation under the supervision of Michael Thompson, HBSc, P.Geo and Caitlin Jeffs, HSBc, P .Geo.

Fladgate reviewed the study completed in early 2010 during which Consultores Geológicos Asociado took five alluvial samples on the property. Samples were taken and washed in a sluice box to concentrate heavy particles. The heavy particle concentrate was then sent to laboratories in Santiago for analysis of gold content. Results of this analysis show alluvial gold concentration ranging from 0.514 grams per cubic meter to 0.650 per cubic meter. The report notes that while the sampling process was the same in practice and principle as a mining process would be, the sampling method used had the potential to introduce human error during the sample collection stage and, therefore, the sampling method was not compliant with the standards for NI 43-101 and the results were inadequate to verify the actual amounts of gold in the alluvium. Fladgate did not perform any sampling or report any reserve estimates for the report.

The Report concludes that “the Casuto Project should be considered to be an early stage exploration project upon which Casablanca has begun to conduct an exploration program in order to gain a further understanding and testing the extent of the mineralization on the property.”

Development

Access to the project is via access roads off the Pan American highway (Route 5 North) which passes 15 kilometers west of the Casuto Wash area. Well water resources are available on the property and power can be brought from existing power lines about four kilometers away. The area is serviced by two ports; the privately owned Port of Punta Chungo, in the City of Los Vilos, which is the closest, and the privately owned Port of Coquimbo, located about 200 kilometers away in Coquimbo. The area is served by La Florida Airport in Coquimbo. Communication with the area is by cellular telephone only.

The property is without known reserves and the proposed program is exploratory in nature. Current costs to December 31, 2011 are recorded at $65,000. On our Casuto Project claims, we intend to conduct further geological assessment studies of the area in order to identify the old river channels and then to plan a campaign of boring and sampling in areas of greater interest, at a cost of approximately $5.5 million, however, these costs have not been included in our internal budget for 2012.

Item 6 SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Not applicable.

Item 7 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

References in this Annual Report to the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our” refer to Casablanca Mining Ltd., a Nevada corporation (“Casablanca”), and its consolidated subsidiary Santa Teresa Minerals, S.A., a limited liability company organized under the laws of Chile (“Santa Teresa Minerals”). The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this filing as well as with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Commission.

On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired Santa Teresa Minerals. For a discussion of our financial statements prior to the acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals (the “Santa Teresa Acquisition”), see our financial statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination or a purchase, and the operating statements of the Company prior to December 31, 2010 reflect the historical operations of Casablanca Mining Ltd. only. Prior to the Santa Teresa Acquisition, we conducted only nominal business operations. As such, comparisons to financial periods prior to the Santa Teresa Acquisition may not be meaningful.

Forward Looking Statements

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion and analysis may contain forward-looking statements based on assumptions about our future business. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under “Factors that May Affect Future Operating Results” contained elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Overview

We engage, through our wholly owned subsidiary, Santa Teresa Minerals, in the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of gold mining interests in Chile, South America. Our gold mining operations are based near Santiago, Chile.  Santa Teresa Minerals currently has, directly and indirectly through various majority owned subsidiaries, mining rights in a historically producing gold mine, “Free Gold,” and in exploration projects, the “Casuto Project,” consisting of Los Azules 1-3, Tauro 1-6, and Los Chipi 1-16, and the “New Gold/Los Pinos Project,” consisting of Los Pinos 1-30 and Teresita 1-20.  These projects include 30 different gold mining and gold exploration properties.

17

Santa Teresa Minerals also has a 20% interest in a company with interests in a copper sulfate production project and a 60% equity position in a company with the rights to a revolutionary mining technology that extracts gold, silver and copper from raw mining materials using a proprietary and patented electrolysis method of electromining.

Results of Operations

Income

Income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was $264 and $3,463 respectively from the sale of scrap metal. There was no income for the same periods in 2010.

We have had only minimal revenues generated to date as we have concentrated our efforts in obtaining permits, conducting mining tests, obtaining samples, and constructing plants. In addition, we are currently warehousing the gold we mine at the present time, due to the current trend of increasing gold price. The gold will be sold at a future time, and from time to time, as determined by management. We expect Santa Teresa Minerals will begin to generate revenues from its mining projects early in the second quarter of 2012.

Operating Expenses

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, operating expenses were $736,292 and $1,766,431 respectively, compared to $8,650 and $23,850 for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010. Operating expenses were primarily associated with the operations of Santa Teresa Minerals in the ordinary course of business as well as legal and accounting expenses required by a public company and costs incurred in connection with the Santa Teresa Acquisition.

Santa Teresa Minerals has incurred significant expenses since inception, mostly as the result of capital expenditures for equipment and infrastructure, exploration costs, development of technology, salaries for mining personnel, legal, accounting and office expenses. These expenses are expected to continue to increase as mining activity begins and as exploration efforts increase.

Interest Expense

Interest accrued or paid on notes payable, resulted in interest expense of $26,841 and $59,408 for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, respectively compared to $0 and $2,201 in interest expense for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010. Interest expense is mainly related to bank loans and lines of credit for Santa Teresa Minerals and the promissory note with Mr. Camus.

Mr. Camus was initially issued a convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $1,087,000 and bearing no interest on December 31, 2010 in connection with the Santa Teresa Acquisition. This convertible promissory note was later exchanged on August 16, 2011 for a nonconvertible promissory note in a principal amount of $1,000,000 and bearing interest at 10% per annum.

18

Other Expense

We incurred a net expense of $2,043,000 for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011 as a result of restructuring that certain promissory note with Mr. Camus. As discussed above, on August 16, 2011, Mr. Camus exchanged a convertible promissory note for the principal amount of $1,087,000 for a non-convertible promissory note for the principal amount of $1,000,000. In connection with the exchange, the Company issued to Mr. Camus 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, at a fair value of $2,000,000, and paid Mr. Camus $130,000 in cash. The Company did not incur any “other expense” for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010.

Net Loss

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011, net losses were $762,869 and $3,865,376, respectively compared to net losses of $8,650 and $26,051 for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010. Net losses were due to the operational expenses, interest expense and other expense discussed above.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2011, our principal sources of capital included cash of $137,119 compared to $9,390 at December 31, 2010. 

This capital was generated through private placements of our Common Stock. In January 2011, we raised $800,000 from the sale of 800,000 shares of Common Stock to WealthMakers, Ltd. In March 2011, Angelique de Maison individually agreed to purchase from us up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share which number was increased in May, June and September 2011 for a total of 8,200,000 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.00 per share. As of December 31, 2011, we had sold a total of 4,775,310 shares to Ms. de Maison pursuant to this agreement. Ms. de Maison and the Company mutually understood that Ms. de Maison’s obligations to purchase additional shares ended on December 31, 2011. On October 14, 2011, the Company and LV Ventures Inc. entered in to a Stock Purchase Agreement, whereby LV Ventures agreed to purchase 1,333,333 shares of Common Stock of the Company for a purchase price of $1.20 per share, in three equal monthly installments of 444,444 shares each beginning on October 14, 2011. The purchase of these installments was completed in January 2012.

Santa Teresa Minerals also has several lines of credit with Banco Security which provides liquidity for operations. Santa Teresa Minerals has borrowed up to 173,000,000 Chilean Pesos or approximately $300,000 under these lines of credit at an interest rates presently ranging between 7.9% and 8.4%. These lines of credit mature in generally 60-90 days, but have historically been rolled over at the due date into a new line of credit with a revised due date and interest rate.

Foreign Currency Translation 

The financial statements of Casablanca Mining’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Santa Teresa Minerals are measured using the local currency (the Chilean Peso (CLP)) as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of Santa Teresa are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the period. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments have been recorded as a component of comprehensive income (loss), included as a separate item in shareholders' equity. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $502,816 and $nil from foreign exchange rate changes, respectively.

The Company is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, the Company is subject to risks including adverse developments in the foreign political and economic environment, trade barriers, managing foreign operations and potentially adverse tax consequences. There can be no assurance that any of these factors will not have a material negative impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations in the future.

During the next twelve months, the Company plans to satisfy its cash requirements through income from operations and by additional debt and equity financing and contributions from its current principal shareholders and other investors, as well as proceeds from the sale of its interests in Sulfatos Chile to Bluestone SA as discussed below in greater detail. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising the capital it requires.

Free Gold

In February 2011, along with the Company's increased stakes in the Casuto Project as discussed below, the Company’s stake in Sociedad Contractual Free Gold, which is the owner of the Free Gold Project, increased from 50% to 99.9%.

19

We plan to expand the alluvial gold operations at Free Gold at an estimated cost of $1.4 million in operating expenses and $4.5 million in capital investments within the next 12 months, by increasing the existing equipment inventory and expanding the Company’s alluvial processing plant.

New Gold/Los Pinos

In June 2011, the Company purchased a 70% ownership interest in each of the mining properties currently known as “Teresita uno de veinte” and “Los Pinos uno de treinta,” or the “New Gold/Los Pinos Project,” for a purchase price of $1,200,000, payable in installments. The purchase price for the properties is $1,200,000, of which we have paid $300,000 and are obligated to pay an additional $400,000 in 2012 and $300,000 in 2013.

With respect to the New Gold/Los Pinos Project, we intend to invest $30,000 dollars in the completion of access roads to the mine and have estimated a total cost of $800,000 to get the property to a production stage, however, we have not allocated these funds in our internal 2012 budget.

Casuto Project

In February 2011, we increased our equity ownership in five of our Chilean gold mining subsidiaries in exchange for 20,000 shares of our Common Stock, valued at $20,000, and $200,000 in cash paid in five equal monthly installments ending in June 2011. This purchase resulted in the following increases in our equity ownership:

· Our interest in Cia Contractual Casuto, which is the owner of Tauro 1-4 mining properties of the Casuto Project, increased from 55.125% to 65.125%.

· Our interest in Sociedad Contractual Free Gold, which is the owner of the Free Gold Project, increased from 50% to 99.9%.

· Our interest in Sociedad Contractual Minera Los Azules, which is the owner of Los Azules 1-3 mining properties of the Casuto Project, increased from 55.125% to 65.125%.

· Our interest in Sociedad Legal Minera Tauro 5, which is the owner of Tauro 5 mining property of the Casuto Project, increased from 70% to 85.215%.

· Our interest in Sociedad Legal Minera Tauro 6, which is the owner of Tauro 6 mining property of the Casuto Project, increased from 70% to 85.215%.

Sulfatos Chile

In March 2011, Santa Teresa Minerals signed an Engineering and Construction of an SX-CR Plant Agreement with Francisco Morales Rivera – Ingefibras E.I.R.L. and Nunez, Ojeda Y da Silva Limitada – RCG Ingenieria (together the “Contractor”) for Contractor to design and build a Solvent Extraction and Crystallization Plant in the Sulfatos Chile S.A. Anico Project. The project was being paid for in installments after the completion and verification of multiple scheduled milestones through the expected completion date of October 24, 2011. The total cost of this plant plus all other requirement to have a fully functional copper sulfate plant is estimated at $6.2 million plus taxes. The plant was fabricated offsite and has been completed, all other works such as piping and civil engineering activities are expected to be completed by the end of May 2012.

20

In addition, at the Anica Copper Mine which is part of the Sulfatos Chile S.A. Anico Project, a new two kilometer road has been installed and a 15 drill hole drilling program has been completed. Drill rigs were used to drill down to a depth of 140 meters. Drilling samples were taken to determine the grade of copper at the mine. The samples are currently being evaluated by a third party laboratory contracted by Sulfatos Chile.

On February 15, 2012, Santa Teresa Minerals sold its 60% equity interest in Sulfatos Chile to Bluestone S.A., an entity organized under the laws of Chile (“Bluestone”), pursuant to the stock purchase agreement dated January 26, 2012, as amended. The interests in Sulfatos Chile were sold in exchange for (a) Santa Teresa Minerals receiving 2,000 shares of common stock of Bluestone, representing 20% of the outstanding capital stock of Bluestone at the time; and (b) $2.2 million, with $1.1 million paid by cancellation of a demand loan made to Santa Teresa Minerals by Angelique de Maison in January 2012, which loan had been assigned by Ms. de Maison to Bluestone, and the balance of $1.1 million to be paid in monthly installments from time to time upon demand by Santa Teresa Minerals. Santa Teresa Minerals retained an obligation to provide $214,000 to Sulfatos Chile, which may be paid by Santa Teresa Minerals with the proceeds from the purchase price.

The Board of Directors determined that we needed additional capital to develop our gold mining operations and that we did not have the available funds necessary to further develop Sulfatos Chile. The Board of Directors further believed that the interests of Sulfatos Chile may be of greater value if the interests were separated from the other mining operations of Santa Teresa Minerals, and Bluestone had advised the Company that it intends to become (or merge with) a public reporting company in the United States in the near future. While there can be no assurance that Bluestone will do so, the Board of Directors believes the interests in a public reporting company would provide the Company with greater liquidity than the interests of the privately held Sulfatos Chile.

Fast Copper

On June 28, 2011 the China Patent Office granted a patent for the electro-mining technology leased by Fast Cooper. We own 60% of Fast Cooper. Patents for the electro-mining process have been issued in the United States, Chile, South Africa and China and are pending in Canada, Australia and Brazil.

The electro-mining technology subject to the patent revolutionizes copper extraction technology by bypassing nearly all of the traditional copper extraction process, which is expensive, time consuming, and environmentally unfriendly, and extracts copper directly from crushed raw material using an electrical and chemical process that allows the copper to diffuse through the raw material and attach to a steel plate submerged in a chemical solution. The process is more environmentally friendly as the chemical solution is contained in plastic tanks and water and acid are recycled in a closed system. We expect to continue to incur patent related costs as we continue work on the pending patents in Canada, Australia and Brazil.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and plan of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, among others, those affecting revenue, the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability of inventory and the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets. The discussion below is intended as a brief discussion of some of the judgments and uncertainties that can impact the application of these policies and the specific dollar amounts reported on our financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Many of our estimates or judgments are based on anticipated future events or performance, and as such are forward-looking in nature, and are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including those discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise this discussion to reflect any future events or circumstances.

21

We have identified below some of our accounting policies that we consider critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. This is not a complete list of all of our accounting policies, and there may be other accounting policies that are significant to us. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and our other accounting policies, see Note 1 to the financial statements, included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Proven and Probable Reserves

The definition of proven and probable reserves is set forth in SEC Industry Guide 7.  Proven reserves are reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well-established.  Probable reserves are reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced.  The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.  In addition, reserves cannot be considered proven and probable until they are supported by a feasibility study, indicating that the reserves have had the requisite geologic, technical and economic work performed and are economically and legally extractable at the time of the reserve determination.

Mineral Acquisition Costs

The costs of acquiring land and mineral rights are considered tangible assets.  Significant acquisition payments are capitalized.  General, administrative and holding costs to maintain an exploration property are expensed as incurred.  If a mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are amortized when production begins using the units-of-production method.  If no mineable ore body is discovered or such rights are otherwise determined to have diminished value, such costs are expensed in the period in which the determination is made.

Exploration Costs

Exploration costs are charged to expense as incurred.  Costs to identify new mineral resources, to evaluate potential resources, and to convert mineral resources into proven and probable reserves are considered exploration costs.

22

Design, Construction, and Development Costs

Certain costs to design and construct mine and processing facilities may be incurred prior to establishing proven and probable reserves.  Under these circumstances, we classify the project as an exploration stage project and expense substantially all costs, including design, engineering, construction, and installation of equipment.  Certain types of equipment, which have alternative uses or significant salvage value, may be capitalized.  If a project is determined to contain proven and probable reserves, costs incurred in anticipation of production can be capitalized.  Such costs include development drilling to further delineate the ore body, removing overburden during the pre-production phase, building access ways, constructing facilities, and installing equipment.  Interest costs, if any, incurred during the development phase, would be capitalized until the assets are ready for their intended use.  The cost of start-up activities and on-going costs to maintain production are expensed as incurred.  Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment.

If a project commences commercial production, amortization and depletion of capitalized costs is computed on a unit-of–production basis over the expected reserves of the project based on estimated recoverable gold equivalent ounces.

Income Taxes

Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 740 “Income Taxes” (ASC 740) requires the asset and liability method of accounting be used for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Factors that May Affect Future Operating Results

We are subject to various risks that may materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other information in this filing before deciding to purchase our Common Stock. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed. In that case, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment.

We are a young company with no operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate an investment in our Company.

Until we completed the transaction with Santa Teresa Minerals, we had no operations. The future of our Company currently is dependent upon our ability to successfully develop our properties, the productivity of such properties, and our ability to otherwise implement our business plan for developing the Santa Teresa Minerals business. While we believe that our business plan, if implemented as conceived, will make us successful in the long term, we have limited operating history against which we can test our plans and assumptions, and therefore cannot evaluate the likelihood of success. At this stage of our business operations, even with our good faith efforts, potential investors have a high probability of losing their investment. Our future operating results will depend on many factors, including the ability to develop our properties, the productivity of such properties, the level of our competition, and our ability to attract and maintain key management and employees. While management believes their estimates of projected occurrences and events are within the timetable of their business plan, there can be no guarantees or assurances that the results anticipated will occur.

23

We expect to incur net losses in future quarters and we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve profitability.

We have operated at a loss since our inception. If we do not achieve profitability, our business may not grow or we may not be able to continue to operate. We are likely to continue to incur losses unless and until we are able to generate significantly more revenues from Santa Teresa Minerals. We will need to generate revenues from the production from our property interests and maintain profitability. We may not achieve sufficient revenues or profitability in any future period. If we do achieve profitability, we cannot be certain that we can sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. If we do not become profitable or are unable to maintain future profitability, the market value of our Common Stock may be adversely affected.

We require additional funds to operate in accordance with our business plan, which we may not be able to obtain on terms acceptable to us, if at all. If we cannot obtain additional funds, our ability to operate may be adversely affected.

We may not be able to obtain additional funds that we require. As discussed in greater detail under the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section above, we do not presently have adequate cash from operations or financing activities to meet our current plan of operations. Many of our plans have estimated costs far in excess of our current resources. Furthermore, if unanticipated expenses, problems, and unforeseen business difficulties occur, which result in material delays, we will not be able to operate within our budget. If we do not operate within our budget, we will require additional funds to continue our business. If we are unsuccessful in obtaining those funds, we cannot assure you of our ability to generate positive returns. Further, we may not be able to obtain the additional funds that we require on terms acceptable to us, if at all. We do not currently have any established third-party bank credit arrangements. If the additional funds that we may require are not available to us, we may be required to curtail significantly or to eliminate some or all of our exploration and development programs.

If we need additional funds, we may seek to obtain them primarily through equity or debt financings. Such additional financing, if available on terms and schedules acceptable to us, if available at all, could result in dilution to our shareholders. We may also attempt to obtain funds through arrangement with corporate partners or others. Those types of arrangements may require us to relinquish certain rights to our assets.

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which means that we may not be able to continue operations unless we obtain additional funding.

The report of our independent accountants on our December 31, 2011 financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph indicating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring losses and working capital shortages. Our ability to continue as a going concern will be determined by our ability to obtain additional funding. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

24

We are highly dependent on Juan Carlos Camus Villegas, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The loss of Mr. Camus could negatively impact our business and the value of our Common Stock.

For the continued operation of the Santa Teresa Minerals business, we are largely dependent on Mr. Camus for his familiarity with the acquisition, exploration, development, and operation of mining properties in Chile. Our ability to successfully develop and operate our mining properties may be at risk from an unanticipated accident, injury, illness, incapacitation, or death of Mr. Camus. Upon such occurrence, unforeseen expenses, delays, losses and/or difficulties may be encountered. We have not purchased key man insurance on any of our officers, which insurance would provide us with insurance proceeds in the event of their death. Without key man insurance, we may not have the financial resources to develop or maintain our business until we could replace such individuals or to replace any business lost by the death of such individuals.

Our success may also depend on our ability to attract and retain other qualified management and mining personnel. We compete for such persons with other companies and other organizations, some of which have substantially greater capital resources than we do. We cannot give any assurance that we will be successful in recruiting or retaining personnel of the requisite caliber or in adequate numbers to enable us to conduct our business.

Precious metal exploration and production involves a high degree of risk, and as a result, we may never become commercially viable.

The exploration and production of precious metals involves a high degree of risk.  Many exploration programs do not result in the discovery of mineralization, and any mineralization discovered may not be of sufficient quantity or quality to be profitably mined. Few properties that are explored are ultimately advanced to production. The projects of Santa Teresa Minerals may not contain commercial quantities of precious metals. Furthermore, none of the projects have not yet been established as proved or probable mineral reserves as defined by the SEC. The SEC has defined a “reserve” as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. In order to demonstrate the existence of proven or probable reserves with respect to these properties, it would be necessary for us to perform additional exploration to demonstrate the existence of sufficient mineralized material with satisfactory continuity and then obtain a positive feasibility study. Establishing reserves also requires a feasibility study demonstrating with reasonable certainty that the deposit can be economically and legally extracted and produced.  We have not completed a feasibility study with regard to all or a portion of any of our properties to date.  The absence of proven or probable reserves makes it more likely that our properties may never be profitable and that the money we have spent on exploration and development may never be recovered.

Our current exploration efforts are, and any future development or mining operations we may elect to conduct will be, subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incident to exploring for and developing mineral properties, such as, but not limited to:

· economically insufficient mineralized material;

· fluctuations in production costs that may make mining uneconomical;

· labor disputes;

· unanticipated variations in grade and other geologic problems;

· environmental hazards;

25

· water conditions;

· difficult surface or underground conditions;

· industrial accidents;

· metallurgical and other processing problems;

· mechanical and equipment performance problems;

· failure of pit walls or dams;

· unusual or unexpected rock formations;

· personal injury, fire, flooding, cave-ins and landslides; and

· decrease in reserves due to a lower prices for the precious metals being mined.

Any of these risks can materially and adversely affect, among other things, the development of properties, production quantities and rates, costs and expenditures, potential revenues and production dates. If we determine that capitalized costs associated with any of our mineral interests are not likely to be recovered, we would incur a write-down of our investment in these interests. All of these factors may result in losses in relation to amounts spent which are not recoverable.

Estimates of mineralized material are based on interpretation and assumptions and may yield less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated, which may have an adverse effect on our ability to achieve profitability.

Unless otherwise indicated, estimates of mineralized material presented in our press releases and regulatory filings are based upon estimates made by us and our consultants.  When making determinations about whether to advance any of our projects to development, we must rely upon such estimated calculations as to the mineralized material on our properties.  Until mineralized material is actually mined and processed, it must be considered an estimate only.  These estimates are imprecise and depend on geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable.   We cannot assure you that:

· these estimates will be accurate;

· resource or other mineralization estimates will be accurate; or

· this mineralization can be mined or processed profitably.

Any material changes in estimates of mineralized material will affect the economic viability of placing a property into production and such property’s return on capital.  There can be no assurance that minerals recovered in small scale metallurgical tests will be recovered at production scale. These estimates are imprecise and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable.

The mineralized material estimates have been determined and valued based on assumed future prices, cut-off grades and operating costs that may prove inaccurate.  Extended declines in market prices for gold and other precious metals may render portions of our mineralized material uneconomic and adversely affect the commercial viability of one or more of our properties and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

26

Our existing production is limited and our ability to become and remain profitable over the long term will depend on our ability to identify, explore and develop additional properties, which we may not be able to do.

Precious metal mines properties are wasting assets.  They eventually become depleted or uneconomical to continue mining.   Accordingly, our ability to become and remain profitable over the long term depends on our ability to finalize exploration and development of the properties of Santa Teresa Minerals and produce mineralization from such projects and/or identify and successfully develop one or more additional properties.  The acquisition of mining properties and their exploration and development are subject to intense competition.  Companies with greater financial resources, larger staff, more experience and more equipment for exploration and development may be in a better position than us to compete for such mineral properties.  If we are unable to find, develop, and economically mine our existing or new properties, we most likely will not be profitable on a long term basis and the price of our Common Stock may suffer.

The volatility of the price of precious metals could adversely affect our future operations and, if warranted, our ability to develop our properties.  

The potential for profitability of our operations, the value of our properties and our ability to raise funding to conduct continued exploration and development, if warranted, are directly related to the market price of gold, copper and copper sulfate.  The price of gold, copper and copper sulfate found on our properties may also have a significant influence on the market price of our Common Stock and the value of our properties.  Our decision to put a mine into production and to commit the funds necessary for that purpose must be made long before the first revenue from production would be received.  A decrease in the price of gold or any other precious metal we estimate to find in a mine may prevent our property from being economically mined or result in the write-off of assets whose value is impaired as a result of lower prices.

The price of gold, copper and copper sulfate is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including inflation, fluctuation of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional demand, the sale of gold by central banks, and the political and economic conditions of major producing countries throughout the world.  For example, according to the World Gold Council (http://www.gold.org/), the average annual market price of gold since 2005 has fluctuated between approximately $400 per ounce and almost $1,900 per ounce, based on the daily London P.M. fix. As of March 26, 2012, the price of gold had risen to approximately $1,685 per ounce, based on the daily London PM fix (http://www.gold.org/).  The volatility of mineral prices represents a substantial risk which no amount of planning or technical expertise can fully eliminate.  In the event prices for gold, copper or copper sulfate decline or remain low for prolonged periods of time, we might be unable to develop our properties, which may adversely affect our results of operations, financial performance and cash flows.

We currently do not enter into forward sales, commodity, derivatives or hedging arrangements and as a result we are exposed to the impact of any significant decrease in prices which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to generate revenue.  

We will sell the gold and other precious metals we are producing at the prevailing market price. Currently, we do not enter into forward sales, commodity, derivative or hedging arrangements to establish a price in advance for the sale of future gold production, although we may do so in the future. As a result, we may realize the benefit of any short-term increase in the price, but we are not protected against decreases in the price, and if the price decreases significantly, our revenues may be materially adversely affected.

27

Our operations are subject to permitting requirements which could require us to delay, suspend or terminate our operations. 

Our current and future operations, including development activities and commencement of production, if warranted, require permits from governmental authorities and such operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in property exploration and the development or operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs, and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits. We cannot predict if all permits which we may require for continued exploration, development or construction of mining facilities and conduct of mining operations will be obtainable on reasonable terms. Costs related to applying for and obtaining permits and licenses may be prohibitive and could delay our planned exploration and development activities. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions.

Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations. Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on our operations and cause increases in capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.

Depending upon the significance of the particular project when compared with our total holdings, any liability could have a material adverse effect upon our business operations.

Competition in the mining industry is intense, and we have limited financial and personnel resources with which to compete.  

Competition in the mining industry for desirable properties, investment capital and personnel is intense.  Numerous companies headquartered in the United States, Canada and elsewhere throughout the world compete for properties on a global basis.  We are an insignificant participant in the mining industry due to our limited financial and personnel resources.  We presently operate with a limited number of personnel and we anticipate that we will compete with other companies in our industry to hire additional qualified personnel which will be required to successfully operate our mine and mill site.  We may be unable to attract the necessary investment capital or personnel to fully explore and if warranted, develop our properties and be unable to acquire other desirable properties.

The Company may enter into joint venture and option agreements with other parties, which could decrease our ownership interest and control over such properties.

We may, in the future, enter into option or joint venture agreements and we may have our interest in the properties subject to such agreements reduced or terminated as a result. Furthermore, if other parties to such agreements do not meet their share of such costs, we may be unable to finance the cost required to complete recommended programs. In many joint ventures or option arrangements, we would give up control over decisions to commence work and the timing of such work, if any.

28

Since most of our expenses are paid in Chilean pesos, we are subject to adverse changes in currency values that may adversely affect our results of operation. 

Our operations in the future could be affected by changes in the value of the Chilean peso against the United States dollar.  The appreciation of non-US dollar currencies such as the peso against the United States dollar increases expenses and the cost of purchasing capital assets in United States dollar terms in Chile, which can adversely impact our operating results and cash flows.  Conversely, depreciation of non-US dollar currencies usually decreases operating costs and capital asset purchases in United States dollar terms.  The value of cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies also fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates.    

Title to our properties may be subject to other claims, which could affect our property interests and claims.

There are risks that title to our mining interests may be challenged or impugned. All of our mining interestsare located in Chile and may be subject to prior unrecorded agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. There may be valid challenges to the title of our properties which, if successful, could impair development and/or operations. This is particularly the case in respect of those portions of the our properties in which we hold our interest solely through a lease with the claim holders, as such interest is substantially based on contract and has been subject to a number of assignments (as opposed to a direct interest in the property).

In the event of a dispute regarding title to our claims or any facet of our operations, it may be necessary for us to resolve the dispute in Chile, where we would be faced with unfamiliar laws and procedures.  

In the event of a dispute regarding title to our claims and interests or any facet of our operations, it may be necessary for us to resolve the dispute in Chile, where we would be faced with unfamiliar laws and procedures.  The resolution of disputes in foreign countries can be costly and time consuming, similar to the situation in the United States.  However, in a foreign country, we face the additional burden of understanding unfamiliar laws and procedures.  We may not be entitled to a jury trial, as we might be in the United States.  Further, to litigate in any foreign country, we would be faced with the necessity of hiring lawyers and other professionals who are familiar with the foreign laws.  For these reasons, we may incur unforeseen losses if we are forced to resolve a dispute in Chile or any other foreign country.

Increased costs could affect our financial condition.

We anticipate that costs at our projects that we may explore or develop, will frequently be subject to variation from one year to the next due to a number of factors, such as changing ore grade, metallurgy and revisions to mine plans, if any, in response to the physical shape and location of the ore body. In addition, costs are affected by the price of commodities such as fuel, rubber and electricity. Such commodities are at times subject to volatile price movements, including increases that could make production at certain operations less profitable. A material increase in costs at any significant location could have a significant effect on our profitability.

29

A shortage of equipment and supplies could adversely affect our ability to operate our business.

We are dependent on various supplies and equipment to carry out our mining exploration and, if warranted, development operations. The shortage of such supplies, equipment and parts could have a material adverse effect on our ability to carry out our operations and therefore limit or increase the cost of production.

We do not insure against all risks to which we may be subject in our planned operations.

We do not maintain insurance to cover all of the potential risks associated with our operations. We may also be unable to obtain insurance to cover other risks at economically feasible premiums or at all. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available, or may not be adequate to cover all liabilities. We might also become subject to liability for environmental, pollution or other hazards associated with mineral exploration and production which may not be insured against, which may exceed the limits of our insurance coverage, if any, or which we may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events may cause us to incur significant costs that could materially adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to fund activities on our property. A significant loss could force us to reduce or terminate our operations.

If capital is not available to us to expand our business operations, we will not be able to pursue our business plan.

We will require substantial additional capital to develop our current properties, acquire additional properties and to participate in the development of those properties. Cash flows from operations, to the extent available, will be used to fund these expenditures. We intend to seek additional capital from loans from shareholders and from private equity offerings. Our ability to access capital will depend on our success in participating in properties that are successful producing precious metals at profitable prices. It will also be dependent upon the status of the capital markets at the time such capital is sought. Should sufficient capital not be available, the development of our business plan could be delayed and, accordingly, the implementation of our business strategy would be adversely affected. In such event it would not be likely that investors would obtain a profitable return on their investments or a return of their investments.

Recent market events and general economic conditions may adversely affect our ability to achieve successful operations.

The recent unprecedented events in global financial markets have had a profound impact on the global economy. Many industries, including the mining industry, are impacted by these market conditions. Notwithstanding various actions by the U.S. and foreign governments, concerns about the general condition of the capital markets, financial instruments, banks, investment banks, insurers and other financial institutions could cause the broader credit markets to further deteriorate and stock markets to decline substantially. In addition, general economic indicators have deteriorated, including declining consumer sentiment, increased unemployment and declining economic growth and uncertainty about corporate earnings.

30

These unprecedented disruptions in the current credit and financial markets have had a significant material adverse impact on a number of financial institutions and have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. These disruptions could, among other things, make it more difficult for us to obtain, or increase our cost of obtaining, capital and financing for our operations. A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates, and tax rates may adversely affect our growth and profitability. Specifically:

· the global credit/liquidity crisis could impact the cost and availability of financing and our overall liquidity;

· the volatility of prices for precious metals may impact our revenues, profits and cash flow;

· volatile energy prices, commodity and consumables prices and currency exchange rates impact potential production costs; and

· the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets impacts the valuation of our equity securities.

These factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Business acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, or private equity transactions entail risks and may disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value or distract management attention.

We expect to continue to review opportunities to acquire other businesses, like Santa Teresa Minerals, or other assets and properties, that would complement our current business plan or otherwise offer growth opportunities. Acquisitions are inherently risky, and no assurance can be given that our previous or future acquisitions will be successful or that they will not materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, or financial condition. If we make any further acquisitions, we may issue stock that would dilute our existing shareholders’ percentage of ownership, and we may incur substantial debt, and/or assume contingent or unknown liabilities.

Our business may be adversely affected by risks associated with foreign operations.

Our mining properties are currently located in Chile, and in the future we may acquire other mining operations based outside of the United States. Political uncertainties, economic changes, civil unrest, exchange rate fluctuations, adverse changes in legal requirements, including tax, tariff and trade regulations and other difficulties in working with companies managed outside the United States could seriously harm the development of our business and ability to operate. Further, as we do more business in an increasing number of countries, our business becomes more exposed to the impact of the political and economic uncertainties, including government oversight, of foreign jurisdictions.

Our officers and directors may be subject to conflicts of interest.

Most of our officers and directors serve only part time and may be subject to conflicts of interest based on their other business endeavors. Each of our executive officers and directors devotes part of their working time to other business endeavors, including consulting relationships with other corporate entities, and has responsibilities to these other entities. Because of these relationships, our officers and director may be subject to conflicts of interest, including deciding how much time to devote to our affairs, as well as what business opportunities should be presented to us.

31

If we do not comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, we may become subject to monetary or criminal penalties.

The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act generally prohibits companies and their intermediaries from bribing foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business. We currently take precautions to comply with this law. However, these precautions may not protect us against liability, particularly as a result of actions that may be taken in the future by agents and other intermediaries through whom we have exposure under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act even though we may have limited or no ability to control such persons. Our competitors include foreign entities that are not subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and hence we may be at a competitive disadvantage.

Risks related to our Common Stock

Our Common Stock is illiquid and the price of our Common Stock may be negatively impacted by factors which are unrelated to our operations. We cannot assure you that an active public trading market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained. 

Our Common Stock currently trades on a limited basis on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board. Trading of our stock through the Over the Counter Bulletin Board is frequently thin and highly volatile. There is no assurance that a sufficient market will develop in our stock, in which case it could be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. The market price of our Common Stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of our competitors, trading volume in our Common Stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our Common Stock.

A small number of shareholders own a substantial amount of our Common Stock, which gives them significant control.

The small number of shareholders that own a majority of our Common Stock are able to exert significant influence over the direction of our affairs and business, including any determination with respect to our acquisition or disposition of assets, future issuances of Common Stock or other securities, and the election or removal of Directors. Such a concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company or cause the market price of our stock to decline. Notwithstanding any duties that such shareholders may have to our other shareholders in general, these persons may have interests different than yours.

Certain significant shareholders of the Company have entered into a Shareholder Rights Agreement, which may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company or cause the market price of our stock to decline.

In connection with the Exchange Agreement, the former stockholders of Santa Teresa Minerals (the “Santa Teresa Stockholders”) and certain of our other principal shareholders, including Thomas Ronk, an affiliate of Zirk Engelbrecht, and Angelique de Maison and one of her affiliates (the “Stock Purchase Agreement Stockholders”), entered into a Shareholders Rights Agreement, effective upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement, which grants the Santa Teresa Stockholders “drag along rights” to require the Stock Purchase Agreement Shareholders to participate, on the same terms and conditions, in any change of control involving a sale of the Common Stock by the Santa Teresa Stockholders, and the Stock Purchase Agreement Shareholders “tag along rights” to participate, on the same terms and conditions, in any change of control involving a sale of the Common Stock by the Santa Teresa Stockholders, except such a sale to any affiliates of the selling shareholder. Collectively, the Santa Teresa Stockholders and the Stock Purchase Agreement Stockholders beneficially own 72.45% of the Company’s Common Stock.

32

These restrictions on the transfer of a majority of the Common Stock of the Company may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company or may affect the price at which the Company may be sold. Notwithstanding any duties that such shareholders may have to our other shareholders in general, these persons may have interests different than yours.

Future sales of our Common Stock could put downward selling pressure on our shares, and adversely affect the stock price.

Future sales of our Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could put downward selling pressure on our shares, and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. Registration rights granted in connection with the private placement of our securities, and the registration of shares for resale to the public, a substantial amount of our Common Stock could be sold on the public market and could result in downward selling pressure. We have granted demand registration rights to LV Ventures Inc. in connection with the sale of shares of our Common Stock to them in October 2011.

We do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

For the foreseeable future, it is anticipated that earnings, if any, that may be generated from our operations will be used to finance our operations and that cash dividends will not be paid to holders of our Common Stock.

Obtaining additional capital through the sale of Common Stock will result in dilution of shareholder interests.

We may raise additional funds in the future by issuing additional shares of Common Stock or other securities, which may include securities such as convertible debentures, warrants or preferred stock that are convertible into Common Stock. Any such sale of Common Stock or other securities will lead to further dilution of the equity ownership of existing holders of our Common Stock. Additionally, these options, warrants and conversion rights may hinder future equity offerings, and the exercise of those options, warrants and conversion rights may have an adverse effect on the value of our stock. If any such options, warrants or conversion rights are exercised at a price below the then current market price of our shares, then the market price of our stock could decrease upon the sale of such additional securities. Further, if any such options, warrants or conversion rights are exercised at a price below the price at which any particular shareholder purchased shares, then that particular shareholder will experience dilution in his or her investment.

We expect to be subject to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations and changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, new SEC regulations and other trading market rules, are creating uncertainty for public companies. Our failure to comply with these laws may have a material adverse effect on our business and stock price.

We are committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, we intend to invest appropriate resources to comply with evolving standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.

33

Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations, which may limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our Common Stock.

Item 9A CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company recognizes that there are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their desired control objectives. Additionally, in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures, the Company’s management was required to apply its reasonable judgment. Furthermore, management considered certain matters deemed by the Company’s independent auditors to constitute a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting described below. Based upon the required evaluation, the President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2011, the Company’s system of controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, and for assessing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

Internal control over financial reporting is intended to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors, and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Management, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In the course of the assessment, material weaknesses were identified in the company’s internal control over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Management determined that fundamental elements of an effective control environment were missing or inadequate as of December 31, 2011. The most significant issues identified were: 1) lack of segregation of duties due to very small staff and significant reliance on outside consultants, and 2) risks of executive override also due to lack of established policies, and small employee staff. Based on the material weaknesses identified above, management has concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2011.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Because of our acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals, there have been resulting changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the quarter ended December 31, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

35

Our CFO has determined that our internal controls were deficient in 2011 and is in the process of implementing a new set of internal controls ranging from accounts payable, check printing and expense report reimbursement policies, reporting requirements as well as the implementation of a new accounting system.

Item 13 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Director Independence

The Company’s Common Stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, which does not maintain any standards regarding the independence of the directors on its Board of Directors.  In absence of such requirements, we have elected to use the definition for “director independence” under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.  

Currently, Mr. Camus, Mr. Engelbrecht, Mr. Troncoso and Ms. Malone are officers of the Company and therefore not considered “independent” as defined by the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, and Mr. Ronk and Ms. de Maison are not considered “independent” as defined by the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules because Mr. Ronk may be deemed a “family member” of Mr. Camus and Ms. de Maison may be deemed a “family member” of Mr. Engelbrecht, as such term is defined by Nasdaq Listing Rules. Therefore, Mr. Farley is the only director that is “independent” as defined by the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Transactions with Related Persons

Suprafin Note

On February 7, 2009, the Company issued a Convertible Note (the “Suprafin Note”) to Suprafin, Ltd. (“Suprafin”) in exchange for Suprafin’s agreement to lend the Company up to $25,000 for operating expenses. The Suprafin Note bore interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum and initially provided for payment in full on February 7, 2010.  Unpaid principal and interest under the Suprafin Note were convertible at any time at the holder’s option into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at the market closing price on the day prior to conversion.  On February 5, 2010, the Suprafin Note was amended to extend the maturity date to February 7, 2011, to increase the amount the Company may borrow to up to $50,000, and to set the conversion price at $.0225 per share. On July 27, 2010, Suprafin elected to convert the $45,312 of then outstanding principal and interest under the Suprafin Note into 2,013,867 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. On January 17, 2011, Suprafin converted the remaining amount of principal and accrued interest under the Suprafin Note into 641,111 shares of Common Stock.  The amount of principal and accrued interest at the time of conversion was approximately $14,425, and the conversion price pursuant to the Suprafin Note was $.0225.

Mr. Engelbrecht, who became President and a director of the Company effective on January 20, 2011, is the Chief Executive Officer, sole director and sole shareholder of Suprafin. Mr. Engelbrecht may have been deemed a “related person” at the time by virtue of his relationship to Angelique de Maison who at the time may have been deemed a “related person” to the Company under the rules of the Securities Exchange Act by virtue of her ownership of Common Stock. Ms. de Maison became a director of the Company in June 2011. Ms. de Maison and any of her affiliates disclaim beneficial ownership of any securities beneficially owned by Mr. Engelbrecht or any of his affiliates, and Mr. Engelbrecht disclaims beneficial ownership of any securities beneficially owned by Ms. de Maison, or any of her affiliates. Ms. Malone, who was a director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company at the time and is currently a director and Corporate Secretary of the Company, is the Corporate Secretary of Suprafin, Ltd.

On August 16, 2011, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Mr. Camus, a director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, pursuant to which the Camus Note was cancelled, upon certain terms and conditions, in exchange for $130,000 in cash, 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company, valued at a fair value of $1.00 per share, and a new non-convertible promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000.

Short Term Loans

In December 2011, Suprafin, Ltd. loaned $300,000 to the Company for short-term working capital needs. The balance due to Suprafin, Ltd. at December 31, 2011 was $241,064. This balance was paid in full in January 2012. The relationship of Suprafin to the Company is discussed above.

In December 2011, Ms. de Maison provided a total of $860,000 in working capital advances in the form of an unsecured demand loan with no interest and no set terms of repayment to the Company’s subsidiary, Santa Teresa Minerals. These advances were assigned to Bluestone SA, of which Ms. de Maison is a major shareholder, and were applied to the purchase of Santa Teresa Minerals’ 60% equity interest in Sulfatos Chile by Bluestone S.A. in February 2012, as discussed in greater detail below.

Bluestone/Sulfatos Chile Transaction

On February 15, 2012, Santa Teresa Minerals sold its 60% equity interest in Sulfatos Chile to Bluestone S.A., an entity organized under the laws of Chile (“Bluestone”), pursuant to the stock purchase agreement dated January 26, 2012, as amended. The interests in Sulfatos Chile were sold in exchange for (a) Santa Teresa Minerals receiving 2,000 shares of common stock of Bluestone, representing 20% of the outstanding capital stock of Bluestone at the time; and (b) $2.2 million, with $1.1 million paid by cancellation of a demand loan to Santa Teresa Minerals by Ms. de Maison in January 2012, which loan had been assigned by Ms. de Maison to Bluestone, and the balance of $1.1 million to be paid in monthly installments from time to time upon demand by Santa Teresa Minerals. Santa Teresa Minerals retained an obligation to provide $214,000 to Sulfatos Chile, which may be paid by Santa Teresa Minerals with the proceeds from the purchase price.

42

Mr. Camus, whose relationship with the Company is discussed above, is also a director of Bluestone, and he and Ms. de Maison, whose relationship with the Company is discussed above, own substantially all of the outstanding capital stock of Bluestone other than the shares issued to Santa Teresa Minerals.

The transaction was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, with Mr. Camus and Ms. de Maison abstaining. The Board of Directors determined that the purchase price was fair in light of the Company’s funding needs and the potential value of the interests in Bluestone. The Board of Directors determined that the Company needed additional capital to develop its gold mining operations and that the Company did not have the available funds necessary to further develop Sulfatos Chile. The Board of Directors further believes that the interests of Sulfatos Chile may be of greater value if the interests are separated from the other mining operations of Santa Teresa Minerals, and Bluestone has advised the Company that it intends to become (or merge with) a public reporting company in the United States in the near future. While there can be no assurance that Bluestone will do so, the Board of Directors believes the interests in a public reporting company would provide the Company with greater liquidity than the interests of the privately held Sulfatos Chile.

Metales Acer Loan

In April, 2010, prior to the Company’s acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals, Metales Acer LTDA, loaned Santa Teresa Minerals 19,970,700 Chilean Pesos or approximately $38,446. The loan did not bear interest and did not specify a maturity date. As of December 31, 2011, the balance of the loan was $ 38,446. Juan Carlos Camus Villegas, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, is the CEO of Metales Acer LTDA. Santa Teresa Minerals may from time to time repay all or a portion of this outstanding debt.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Casablanca Mining Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Casablanca Mining Ltd. (An Exploration Stage Company) (the “Company) as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and from inception (June 27, 2008) to December 31, 2011. Casablanca Mining Ltd.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We did not audit the consolidated financial statements of Casablanca Mining Ltd. (An Exploration Stage Company) for the year ended December 31, 2010 and from inception (June 27, 2008) to December 31, 2010.  Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us and our opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts included in the year ended December 31, 2010 and from inception (June 27, 2008) to December 31, 2010, is based solely on the report of other auditors.

We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Casablanca Mining Ltd. as of December 31, 2011, and the results of its consolidated operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, and from inception (June 27, 2008) to December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Casablanca Mining Ltd.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Audited Consolidated Financial Statements
From inception (June 27, 2008) through December 31, 2011
  

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION

Casablanca Mining Ltd. (the “Company” or “Casablanca”) is a Nevada corporation engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development, and operation of precious metal properties. The Company is an “exploration stage company” as defined in the Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 915 “Development Stage Entities” (ASC 915).

Casablanca was incorporated as USD Energy Corp. on June 27, 2008. On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired Santa Teresa Minerals, S.A., a limited liability company organized under the laws of Chile (“Santa Teresa Minerals”). See “Note 4: Santa Teresa Minerals Acquisition.” Unless context requires otherwise, references to the "Company" or "we" refer to Casablanca and its consolidated subsidiaries. On February 4, 2011, the Company changed its name from USD Energy Corp. to Casablanca Mining Ltd.

The acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the operating statements and statements of cash flows of the Company from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2011 reflect the combined operations of Casablanca Mining Ltd. and Santa Teresa Minerals while the operating statements of the Company prior to December 31, 2010 reflect the historical operations of Casablanca only.

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to U.S. GAAP applicable to exploration stage enterprises.

NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements at December 31, 2011 and for the period from inception (June 27, 2008) through December 31, 2011 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a loss of $3,945,326 from inception through December 31, 2011. In addition, the Company has not generated any material revenues. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company may not be able to obtain additional funds that it may require. The Company does not presently have adequate cash from operations to meet its long-term needs. Except for the lines of credit of Santa Teresa Minerals, as discussed under "Note 8: Debt," the Company does not currently have any established third-party bank credit arrangements. The Company will seek additional funds through equity or debt financings, if available on terms and schedules acceptable to the Company. If the additional funds that the Company may require are not available to it, the Company may be required to curtail significantly or eliminate some or all of its development programs.

F-7

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Casablanca, its wholly owned subsidiary Santa Teresa Minerals, and the subsidiaries and mining projects owned by Santa Teresa Minerals. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of Casablanca’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Santa Teresa Minerals are measured using the local currency (the Chilean Peso (CLP) is the functional currency). Assets and liabilities of Santa Teresa Minerals are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the period. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments have been recorded as a component of comprehensive income (loss), included as a separate item in the statement of operations. The exchange rate at December 31, 2011 was 519.45 Chilean Pesos per United States Dollar, based on historical rates from www.xe.com.

The Company is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, the Company is subject to risks including adverse developments in the foreign political and economic environment, trade barriers, managing foreign operations, and potentially adverse tax consequences. There can be no assurance that any of these factors will not have a material negative impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations in the future.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance of product delivery or providing services are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company accrues for warranty costs, sales returns, bad debts, and other allowances based on its historical experience.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company allows for an estimated amount of receivables that may not be collected. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and customer relationships. As of December 31, 2011, no allowance has been recognized.

Inventory

Inventories consist of small amounts of gold recovered during mineral exploration and are stated at the market value on the date recovered. As of December 31, 2011, recovered gold was valued at $34,407.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each type of asset which ranges from three to five years. Major improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Upon retirement or disposition, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income.

F-8

Mining Properties and Equipment

The Company will follow the successful efforts method of accounting. All developmental costs will be capitalized. Depreciation and depletion of producing properties will be computed on the unit-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves. Repairs and maintenance will be expensed, while renewals and betterments will be generally capitalized.

At least quarterly, or more frequently if conditions indicate that long-term assets may be impaired, the carrying value of our properties will be compared to management's future estimated pre-tax cash flow from the properties. If undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, then the asset value will be written down to fair value. Impairment of individually significant unproved properties will be assessed on a property-by-property basis, and impairment of other unproved properties is assessed and amortized on an aggregate basis.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The Company’s financial statements will reflect the fair value for any asset retirement obligation, consisting of future plugging and abandonment expenditures related to our properties, which can be reasonably estimated. The asset retirement obligation will be recorded as a liability at its estimated present value at the asset's inception, with an offsetting increase to producing properties on the balance sheet. Periodic accretion of the discount of the estimated liability will be recorded as an expense in the statements of operations. As of December 31, 2011, there have been no asset retirement obligations recorded.

Estimates

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts for the Company’s cash, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Income Taxes

ASC Topic No. 740 “Income Taxes” (ASC 740) requires the asset and liability method of accounting be used for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Per ASC Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share,” basic EPS is determined using net income (loss) divided by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock were issued.

Reclassifications

Related party notes payable of $56,213 were reclassified from notes payable to due to related parties in the consolidated balance sheet to conform to the current year presentation. This reclassification had no effect on previously reported total operating expenses, results of operations, or retained earnings.

NOTE 4: SANTA TERESA MINERALS ACQUISITION

On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired Santa Teresa Minerals through the exchange of 25,500,000 shares of its Common Stock for all of the issued and outstanding capital shares of Santa Teresa Minerals pursuant to that certain Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), dated December 7, 2010, among the Company, Santa Teresa Minerals and the shareholders of Santa Teresa Minerals (collectively, the “Santa Teresa Shareholders”). The value of the shares of Common Stock issued in the exchange was $0.05 per share, as determined by a third party valuation.

In connection with the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued a note (the “Camus Note”) with a principal amount of $1,087,000 to Juan Carlos Camus Villegas (“Mr. Camus”), one of the Santa Teresa Shareholders and now the CEO of the Company, in exchange for a note in the same amount owed by Santa Teresa Minerals to him. The Camus Note bore no interest and was payable in full, unless earlier converted, on November 1, 2012. Mr. Camus was able to declare the Camus Note immediately due and payable in the event of any material breach of the note that remained uncured for 30 days, commencement of proceedings under bankruptcy, the Company’s dissolution, or attachment against a material portion of the Company’s assets. The Camus Note contained an anti-dilutive feature which allowed Mr. Camus to convert the Camus Note at any time on or prior to June 30, 2012 into Common Stock at the conversion price of the lesser of $0.01 per share of Common Stock or lowest price at which the Company issues Common Stock during the conversion period. This conversion right was personal to Mr. Camus and in general, would have been suspended at any time that the number of shares that had been issued, or were issuable, to the Santa Teresa Shareholders and their affiliates, or have otherwise been issued pursuant to the Camus Note, exceeded 51% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

On August 16, 2011, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Mr. Camus, currently a director and the Company's Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Camus Note was cancelled, upon certain terms and conditions, in exchange for $130,000 in cash, 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, valued at $2,000,000, of the Company, and a new non-convertible promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000 (the “New Promissory Note”). See “Note 8: Debt.”

F-9

We have reviewed our acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals to determine the proper accounting for this transaction in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805 – “Business Combinations” (ASC 805). Based on our review of ASC 805-10-55-11 and ASC 805-10-55-12, we have determined that the acquisition should be treated as a purchase.

The assets we acquired through Santa Teresa Minerals included principally: cash, accounts receivable, and fixed assets (recorded at fair value), including land and mining equipment; and liabilities assumed consisting of accounts payable and notes and loans payable. The difference between the value of the shares issued in consideration and the assets less liabilities was recorded as goodwill.

Accounts receivable		9,762
Fixed assets		3,745,516
Goodwill		66,258
Accounts payable		(15,012	)

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, depreciation expense was $179,606 and $nil, respectively.

In June, 2011, Santa Teresa Minerals, acquired a 70% ownership interest in each of the mining properties currently known as “Teresita uno de veinte” and “Los Pinos uno de treinta” (or the “Los Pinos Project”). The interests were transferred to Santa Teresa Minerals on June 29, 2011. We paid $200,000 at the closing of the purchase and $100,000 on the six month anniversary of the purchase. We are obligated to pay $100,000 on each of the twelve month and eighteen month anniversaries of the purchase agreement, $200,000 on each of the twenty four and thirty month anniversaries of the purchase agreement, and $300,000 on the 36 month anniversary of the purchase agreement.

NOTE 6: PROPERTY – CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS

On September 15, 2010, Santa Teresa Minerals and Minera Anica Ltda., an unaffiliated entity, formed the Chilean corporation, “Sulfatos Chile, S.A.” At December 31, 2011 Santa Teresa Minerals owned a 60% interest and Minera Anica Ltda. owned a 40% interest in Sulfatos Chile. Santa Teresa Minerals has funded 100% of the operations of Sulfatos Chile through December 31, 2011.

NOTE 7: GOODWILL

In connection with the Santa Teresa Minerals acquisition, Casablanca issued 25,500,000 shares of Common Stock valued at $.05 per share for a total value of $1,275,000. This was recorded as Common Stock at par value of $25,500 with the remaining $1,249,500 recorded as additional paid-in capital. In connection with the acquisition, and in accordance with ASC Topic 805-30 “Business Combinations – Goodwill or Gain from Bargain Purchase Including Consideration Transferred,” we recorded goodwill in the amount of $66,258, representing the amount by which the total liabilities of Santa Teresa Minerals exceeded the total book value of the assets of Santa Teresa Minerals. In accordance with ASC Topic 350-20 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other," goodwill was assessed and as of December 31, 2011, no impairment was noted.

On October 14, 2011, Casablanca Mining Ltd. and LV Ventures Inc. (“LV Ventures”) entered in to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), whereby LV Ventures agreed to purchase 1,333,333 shares of common stock of the Company for a purchase price of $1.20 per share, in three equal monthly installments of 444,444 shares each beginning on October 14, 2011. Concurrently with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the parties entered into a Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which LV Ventures received two demand registration rights after April 15, 2012 and piggyback registration rights. The purchase of the first installment of 444,444 shares was completed on October 14, 2011, the purchase of the second installment of 444,444 was completed on November 21, 2011, the purchase of the third installment was completed in two parts, 250,000 shares on December 15, 2011 and 194,444 shares on January 5, 2012.

NOTE 11: STOCK SPLIT

On July 14, 2009, the Company effected a 30 for 1 forward split of its Common Stock which has been applied on a retroactive basis.

NOTE 12: NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued in 2011 and 2010, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.

NOTE 13: INCOME TAXES

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of $1,361,999  that may be available to reduce future years’ federal taxable income through 2030 to 2031. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carryforwards.

Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

Deferred tax assets:	2011			2010
Net operating loss carryforward	$	3,891,427		$	26,051
Total deferred tax assets	$	1,361,999		$	9,118
Less: Valuation allowance		(1,361,999	)		(9,118	)
Net deferred tax assets	$	-		$	-

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011 was $1,361,999. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of December 31, 2011.

Going Concern [Abstract]

Going Concern [Text Block]

NOTE 2: GOING CONCERN

The Company’s financial statements at December 31, 2011 and for the period from inception (June 27, 2008) through December 31, 2011 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a loss of $3,945,326 from inception through December 31, 2011. In addition, the Company has not generated any material revenues. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company may not be able to obtain additional funds that it may require. The Company does not presently have adequate cash from operations to meet its long-term needs. Except for the lines of credit of Santa Teresa Minerals, as discussed under "Note 8: Debt," the Company does not currently have any established third-party bank credit arrangements. The Company will seek additional funds through equity or debt financings, if available on terms and schedules acceptable to the Company. If the additional funds that the Company may require are not available to it, the Company may be required to curtail significantly or eliminate some or all of its development programs.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

SANTA TERESA MINERALS ACQUISITION

NOTE 4: SANTA TERESA MINERALS ACQUISITION

On December 31, 2010, the Company acquired Santa Teresa Minerals through the exchange of 25,500,000 shares of its Common Stock for all of the issued and outstanding capital shares of Santa Teresa Minerals pursuant to that certain Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”), dated December 7, 2010, among the Company, Santa Teresa Minerals and the shareholders of Santa Teresa Minerals (collectively, the “Santa Teresa Shareholders”). The value of the shares of Common Stock issued in the exchange was $0.05 per share, as determined by a third party valuation.

In connection with the closing of the Exchange Agreement, the Company issued a note (the “Camus Note”) with a principal amount of $1,087,000 to Juan Carlos Camus Villegas (“Mr. Camus”), one of the Santa Teresa Shareholders and now the CEO of the Company, in exchange for a note in the same amount owed by Santa Teresa Minerals to him. The Camus Note bore no interest and was payable in full, unless earlier converted, on November 1, 2012. Mr. Camus was able to declare the Camus Note immediately due and payable in the event of any material breach of the note that remained uncured for 30 days, commencement of proceedings under bankruptcy, the Company’s dissolution, or attachment against a material portion of the Company’s assets. The Camus Note contained an anti-dilutive feature which allowed Mr. Camus to convert the Camus Note at any time on or prior to June 30, 2012 into Common Stock at the conversion price of the lesser of $0.01 per share of Common Stock or lowest price at which the Company issues Common Stock during the conversion period. This conversion right was personal to Mr. Camus and in general, would have been suspended at any time that the number of shares that had been issued, or were issuable, to the Santa Teresa Shareholders and their affiliates, or have otherwise been issued pursuant to the Camus Note, exceeded 51% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.

On August 16, 2011, the Company entered into an Exchange Agreement with Mr. Camus, currently a director and the Company's Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which the Camus Note was cancelled, upon certain terms and conditions, in exchange for $130,000 in cash, 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, valued at $2,000,000, of the Company, and a new non-convertible promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000 (the “New Promissory Note”). See “Note 8: Debt.”

We have reviewed our acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals to determine the proper accounting for this transaction in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805 – “Business Combinations” (ASC 805). Based on our review of ASC 805-10-55-11 and ASC 805-10-55-12, we have determined that the acquisition should be treated as a purchase.

The assets we acquired through Santa Teresa Minerals included principally: cash, accounts receivable, and fixed assets (recorded at fair value), including land and mining equipment; and liabilities assumed consisting of accounts payable and notes and loans payable. The difference between the value of the shares issued in consideration and the assets less liabilities was recorded as goodwill.

The New Promissory Note, which does not contain the anti-dilutive features of the Camus Note, bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable monthly in arrears. Principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on November 1, 2012, provided however that the loan will become payable immediately upon demand by Mr. Camus following certain events, including the Company’s insolvency, bankruptcy, or general assignment for the benefit of creditors and Mr. Camus no longer being a director of the Company (unless Mr. Camus is not a director because of his voluntary resignation as a director). As of December 31, the Company has paid Mr. Camus $33,333 in accrued interest.

In April, 2010, prior to the Company’s acquisition of Santa Teresa Minerals, Metales Acer LTDA, loaned Santa Teresa Minerals 19,970,700 Chilean Pesos or approximately $38,446. The loan did not bear interest and did not specify a maturity date. As of December 31, 2011, the balance of the loan was $38,446. Juan Carlos Camus Villegas, our Chief Executive Officer and a director, is the CEO of Metales Acer LTDA. Santa Teresa Minerals may from time to time repay all or a portion of this outstanding debt.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Casablanca, its wholly owned subsidiary Santa Teresa Minerals, and the subsidiaries and mining projects owned by Santa Teresa Minerals. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of Casablanca’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Santa Teresa Minerals are measured using the local currency (the Chilean Peso (CLP) is the functional currency). Assets and liabilities of Santa Teresa Minerals are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the period. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments have been recorded as a component of comprehensive income (loss), included as a separate item in the statement of operations. The exchange rate at December 31, 2011 was 519.45 Chilean Pesos per United States Dollar, based on historical rates from www.xe.com.

The Company is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, the Company is subject to risks including adverse developments in the foreign political and economic environment, trade barriers, managing foreign operations, and potentially adverse tax consequences. There can be no assurance that any of these factors will not have a material negative impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations in the future.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance of product delivery or providing services are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company accrues for warranty costs, sales returns, bad debts, and other allowances based on its historical experience.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company allows for an estimated amount of receivables that may not be collected. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical experience and customer relationships. As of December 31, 2011, no allowance has been recognized.

Inventory

Inventories consist of small amounts of gold recovered during mineral exploration and are stated at the market value on the date recovered. As of December 31, 2011, recovered gold was valued at $34,407.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each type of asset which ranges from three to five years. Major improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Upon retirement or disposition, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income.

Mining Properties and Equipment

The Company will follow the successful efforts method of accounting. All developmental costs will be capitalized. Depreciation and depletion of producing properties will be computed on the unit-of-production method based on estimated proved reserves. Repairs and maintenance will be expensed, while renewals and betterments will be generally capitalized.

At least quarterly, or more frequently if conditions indicate that long-term assets may be impaired, the carrying value of our properties will be compared to management's future estimated pre-tax cash flow from the properties. If undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value, then the asset value will be written down to fair value. Impairment of individually significant unproved properties will be assessed on a property-by-property basis, and impairment of other unproved properties is assessed and amortized on an aggregate basis.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The Company’s financial statements will reflect the fair value for any asset retirement obligation, consisting of future plugging and abandonment expenditures related to our properties, which can be reasonably estimated. The asset retirement obligation will be recorded as a liability at its estimated present value at the asset's inception, with an offsetting increase to producing properties on the balance sheet. Periodic accretion of the discount of the estimated liability will be recorded as an expense in the statements of operations. As of December 31, 2011, there have been no asset retirement obligations recorded.

Estimates

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts for the Company’s cash, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Income Taxes

ASC Topic No. 740 “Income Taxes” (ASC 740) requires the asset and liability method of accounting be used for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Per ASC Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share,” basic EPS is determined using net income (loss) divided by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding, assuming all potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock were issued.

Reclassifications

Related party notes payable of $56,213 were reclassified from notes payable to due to related parties in the consolidated balance sheet to conform to the current year presentation. This reclassification had no effect on previously reported total operating expenses, results of operations, or retained earnings.

NOTE 13: INCOME TAXES

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of $1,361,999  that may be available to reduce future years’ federal taxable income through 2030 to 2031. Future tax benefits which may arise as a result of these losses have not been recognized in these financial statements, as their realization is determined not likely to occur and accordingly, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset relating to these tax loss carryforwards.

Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as follows at December 31, 2011 and 2010:

Deferred tax assets:	2011			2010
Net operating loss carryforward	$	3,891,427		$	26,051
Total deferred tax assets	$	1,361,999		$	9,118
Less: Valuation allowance		(1,361,999	)		(9,118	)
Net deferred tax assets	$	-		$	-

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011 was $1,361,999. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of December 31, 2011.
