Planned Exploration [Abstract] | |
Planned Exploration | 4. PLANNED EXPLORATION
Guinea, West Africa
The Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Gold River of Africa Company (“Gold River”) for the Siguiri property on January 15, 2007. Gold River is a small mineral exploration company active in Guinea. Through this joint venture, the Company holds 100% interest in a two year exploration permit issued by the Republic of Guinea to Gold River for this property covering 103 square kilometers in the Siguiri region of Guinea. The Company acquired this interest in exchange for shares of common stock. The Guinea government is entitled to a 15% royalty on all extracted minerals.
An extension of this permit was applied for in May 2011 by Gold River but was still in review at the end of 2011 due to the change in governments in Guinea during mid-2011 and subsequent reviews by the government of mining laws and all exploration permits. The Company paid $35,000 to Gold River to pay the Guinea Ministry of Mines for the permit extension application, on behalf of the Company. The permit extension was granted by the Ministry of Mines on April 12, 2012. The Company’s copy of the permit has not been received yet.
Nat Son, Vietnam
The Company entered into a binding letter of intent to purchase a 51% interest in a joint venture (“Joint Venture”) with Ba Dinh Mineral Company Limited (“Ba Dinh”), a Vietnamese company engaged in mineral exploration in that country, to explore for minerals per license # 39/QD-UBND issued to Ba Dinh Construction and Investment Joint Stock Company on June 9, 2009, by the Peoples Committee of Hoa Binh Province, Vietnam. This license is valid for five years from the date of issuance and is renewable for an additional four years according to current mining laws in Vietnam. The permitted area covers 40 square hectares in Nat Son Commune, Hoa Binh Province Vietnam.
A dispute arose in October, 2011 concerning the status of joint work on the Nat Son property between the Company and Ba Dinh as a result of key partners in Ba Dinh disagreeing with the Company about the status of their stock holdings in the Company. Management upon consultation with legal counsel determined that the arguments by those key partners have no legal merit and may expose those partners to litigation should they not desist and should they fail to comply with documentation requests from the Company. Ba Dinh has been notified of this finding. The Company is awaiting their response and delivery of key property documents on Nat Son to the Company for its records and safe-keeping. This dispute may result in a disruption or change of our drilling plan on the Nat Son property for 2012.
Legal counsel in Vietnam was retained during the first quarter of 2012 to investigate the status of the exploration license and any property ownership for the Nat Son project and Joint Venture with Ba Dinh. The exploration license was found to be valid and active until June 8, 2014 in the name of Ba Dinh Construction Investment and Consulting Joint Stock Company. Results of the investigation from our Vietnam legal counsel are pending to confirm the status of the Joint Venture, and the ownership or lease of the underlying property. There is not enough information available on the legal status of the Joint Venture and the Nat Son property to determine whether or not Ba Dinh has performed according to the requirements of the binding letter of intent. Therefore, the project was written down in the fourth quarter of 2011 to allow for possible permanent impairment of the project. Management’s opinion on this matter is that the
project still is potentially viable, but all Joint Venture activities with Ba Dinh may need to cease if a mutually agreeable solution cannot be reached. If the Joint Venture is formally dissolved, the Company may pursue legal options in Vietnam during 2012 to recover payments made to Ba Dinh for expenses that they have not documented adequately or for which official government documentation has not been provided for the project.
