In 2005, a shareholder advanced $30,000 to the Company for working capital purposes and to assist in identification of new mining properties.  This loan is due on demand and bore interest at 5% per annum through January 31, 2009, at which time the interest rate was increased to 10% per annum.  During the years ended January 31, 2010 and 2009, the shareholder advanced an additional $50,000 and $80,000, respectively, under substantially identical terms. On August 31, 2011 the shareholder advanced a further $150,000 and added an additional $30,000 on Oct 27, 2011, for a loan total of $340,000 at January 31, 2012. The additional loans were drafted under identical terms of previous loans advanced to the Company in the current year. Payments of $180,000 were made on these loans during the year ended January 31, 2013.  As of April 30, 2013 principal and interest due are $160,000 and $91,055.

The terms of the note include an interest rate of 15% that is accrued and paid at the time of maturity. The note and accrued interest are due and payable July 7, 2013. As of April 30, 2013, the Company recorded $1,640 in accrued interest.

On August 31, 2012 the Company entered into a $300,000 bridge loan financing arrangement with an unaffiliated accredited investor, the proceeds of which were used to pay maintenance fees to the Bureau of Land Management and general operating expenses of the Company.  The note payable bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum and was due and payable on or before October 30, 2012.  As of April 30, 2013, the Company was unable to repay the note, thus, the Company is in default on the note.  The default interest rate is 45%.
