Nature of Operations
|
|
|
|
|
Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. (the Company) was
incorporated on December 11, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada.
The Companys administrative office is located in Vancouver, Canada. The
Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 915, Development Stage Entities. The Company has been in the
exploration stage since inception and has not yet realized any revenues
from its planned operations.
|
|
|
|
|
The principal business of the Company is to search for
mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either the development or
production stage. The Company is conducting exploration activities on gold
and uranium properties located in Tanzania.
|
|
|
|
|
As of September 30, 2011, none of the Company’s mineral property interests had proven or probable reserves as determined under the requirements of SEC Industry Guide No. 7. Planned principal activities have not yet begun. The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage with respect to any planned principal business activity is dependent upon its successful efforts to raise additional debt or equity financing and/or attain profitable mining operations. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $14,198,375 incurred through September 30, 2011. The Company has no revenues. Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings that will provide funds needed to continue the exploration for gold and uranium. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
|
|
|
|
a)
|
Basis of Presentation and Interim Financial
Statements
|
|
|
|
|
|
These consolidated financial statements and related notes
are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. These
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kilimanjaro Mining Company, Inc.
(Kilimanjaro), Lake Victoria Resources Company, (T) Ltd., Jin 179
Company Tanzania Ltd. and Chrysos 197 Company Tanzania Ltd. Significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Companys
fiscal year-end is March 31.
|
|
|
|
|
|
These interim unaudited financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-Q. They
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
Therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended March 31, 2011, included in the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed July 14, 2011 with the SEC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The financial statements included herein are unaudited;
however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that,
in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the
Companys financial position at September 30, 2011, and the results of its
operations and cash flows for the six-month periods ended September 30,
2011 and 2010. The results of operations for the period ended September
30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
future quarters or the full year.
|
|
|
|
|
b)
|
Use of Estimates
|
|
|
|
|
|
The preparation of financial statements in accordance
with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period.
The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to
long-lived assets, mineral property costs, asset retirement obligations,
stock-based compensation, financial instrument valuations and deferred
income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and
assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other
factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying
values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses
that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results
experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the
Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between
the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be
affected.

|
Business Combinations
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 805, Business
Combinations, and ASC 810, Consolidation. The net loss attributable to
non-controlling interest recognized from inception to quarter ended
September 30, 2011 was previously the minority interest held by certain
passive shareholders at the consolidated financial statement level of
Kilimanjaro, and whose interests were eliminated for accounting purposes
by the August 7, 2009 share exchange agreement. The Company, after August
7, 2009, had no further non-controlling interests.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As of September 30, 2011, a cumulative loss of $8,719,455
had been attributed to the non-controlling interest of the Companys
controlled subsidiary.
|
|
|
|
|
d)
|
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in
accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, which requires presentation
of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the
income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss)
available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS
gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during
the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock
using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock
price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed
to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted
EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti
dilutive. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had 25,604,901 dilutive
securities outstanding.
|
|
|
|
|
e)
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with
a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash
equivalents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As of September 30, 2011, the Company has approximately
$25,000 deposited at FDIC insured banks in the United States. FDIC deposit
insurance covers the balance of each depositors account up to $250,000
per insured bank.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As of September 30, 2011, the Company has approximately
$978,000 deposited in Canada including $242,045 (CAD$250,000) of
guaranteed investment certificates bearing variable interest at prime rate
less 1.95% that is cashable any time without any penalties and $33,402
(CAD$ 34,500) of guaranteed investment certificates bearing variable
interest at primate less 2.05% which is restricted in use for corporation
credit cards.
|
|
|
|
|
|
As of September 30, 2011, the Company has 16,666,000
Tanzania Shillings (approximately $10,000) and $85,500 deposited in
Tanzania. The Deposit Insurance Board in Tanzania insures up to 1,500,000
Tanzanian Shillings (approximately $900 as of September 30, 2011) per
customer per bank. Any amount beyond the basic insurance amount may expose
the Company to loss.
|
|
|
|
|
f)
|
Property and Equipment
|
|
|
|
|
|
Property and equipment consists of mining tools and
equipment, motor vehicle, furniture and equipment and computers and
software which are depreciated on a straight line basis over their
expected lives of five years.
|
|
|
|
|
g)
|
Mineral Property Costs
|
|
|
|
|
|
Under US GAAP mineral property acquisition costs are
ordinarily capitalized when incurred using FASB ASC Topic 805-20-55-37,
Whether Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets. The carrying
costs are assessed for impairment under ASC Topic 360-36-10-35-20,
Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long- Lived Assets, whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying costs may
not be recoverable. The Company expenses as incurred all property
maintenance and exploration costs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company also evaluates the carrying value of acquired
mineral property rights in accordance with ASC Topic 930-360-35-1, Mining
Assets: Impairment and Business Combinations, using the Value Beyond
Proven and Probable (VBPP) method. The fair value of a mining asset
generally includes both VBPP and an estimate of the future market price of
the minerals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the Company has capitalized mineral property costs, these properties will be periodically assessed for impairment of value. Once a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of production method. During the six months ended September 30, 2011, the Company records its interests in mining properties and areas of geological interest at cost. The Company has capitalized mineral properties costs of $611,400 and $Nil for the six months ended at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

|
Long-Lived Assets
|
|
|
|
|
|
In accordance with ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment
the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability
when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying
amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review
include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price
of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal
factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount
originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset;
current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of
losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the
asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be
sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful
life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset
and the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use
and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in
certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying
amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.
|
|
|
|
|
h)
|
Asset Retirement Obligations
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in
accordance with the provisions of ASC 440, Asset Retirement and
Environmental Obligations which requires the Company to record the fair
value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in
which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction,
development and/or normal use of the assets. The Company did not have any
asset retirement obligations as of September 30, 2011.
|
|
|
|
|
i)
|
Financial Instruments
|
|
|
|
|
|
ASC 825, Financial Instruments requires an entity to
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes a fair value
hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence
surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial
instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon
the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement. ASC 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be
used to measure fair value:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there
are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there
are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or
liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in
active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in
markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active
markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are
observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by,
observable market data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there
are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant
to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or
liabilities.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Companys financial instruments consist principally
of cash, advances and deposits, amounts receivable, short-term
investments, accounts payable, and other payables.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair values of cash and
short-term investments are determined based on Level 1 inputs, which
consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The
Company believes that the recorded values of advances and deposits,
amounts receivable, accounts payable, and other payables approximate their
current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively
short maturity dates or durations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were
presented on the Companys balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 as

Foreign Currency Translation
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Companys functional and reporting currency is the
United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated to United States dollars in accordance
with ASC 740, Foreign Currency Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing
at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or
settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are
included in the determination of income.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To the extent that the Company incurs transactions that
are not denominated in its functional currency, they are undertaken in
Canadian dollars and the Tanzanian Schilling. A portion of business
transactions in Tanzania and mineral option purchase agreements are
denominated in the Tanzanian Schilling. The Company has not, to the date
of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to
offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
|
|
|
|
|
k)
|
Segment Information
|
|
|
|
|
|
At September 30, 2011, $123,000 of property and equipment and $611,400 of mineral properties are located in Tanzania. Although Tanzania is considered economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company’s operations.
|
|
|
|
|
l)
|
Income Taxes
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and
liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and
liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax
rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to
reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be
realized.
|
|
|
|
|
m)
|
Stock-Based Compensation
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Company records stock-based compensation in
accordance with ASC 718, Compensation Stock Based Compensation and ASC
505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, which requires the
measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated
fair values for all share-based awards made to employees, directors and
consultants, including stock options.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of
share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The
Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of
determining fair value. This model is affected by the Companys stock
price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables.
These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Companys
expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual
and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the
portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as
an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service
period.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All transactions in which goods or services are the
consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are
accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the
fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably
measurable.

Mineral Property Acquisition and Exploration
Costs
|
|
|
|
On May 4, 2009, Kilimanjaro completed a Property
Acquisition Agreement (the Geo Can Agreement) with Geo Can (a related
party, see Note 3). Under the terms of the agreement Kilimanjaro acquired
a 100% interest in the mineral property assets, which included 33 gold
prospecting licenses and 13 uranium licenses. Included in this agreement
were the Kalemela projects licenses, Geita projects license, Uyowa
Projects licenses, Kinyambwiga projects license and other projects
licenses. Geo Can had entered into property option agreements, regarding
some of these resource properties, with Lake Victoria before the share
exchange agreement between Lake Victoria and Kilimanjaro on August 7,
2009, and as a consequence Geo Can no longer has any interest in those
prior property agreements.
|
|
|
|
The mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized
and the carrying values are periodically assessed for impairment of value
and any diminution in value. When a property reaches the development
stage, the related costs will be capitalized and amortized, using the
units of production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore
reserves. Costs to maintain the mineral rights and leases are expensed as
incurred.
|
|
|
|
All of the Companys mineral property interests are
located in Tanzania. Geo Can holds some resource properties in trust for
the Company. Most of the resource property interests are still formally
registered to Geo Can to save on registration fees. When the annual filing
for each property comes due then the formal registration of each property
will be transferred to Kilimanjaro or as directed by
Kilimanjaro.

Our Current Business
We are an exploration stage corporation focused on acquiring,
exploring and developing gold deposits in the Lake Victoria Greenstone Belt in
Tanzania, East Africa. We hold prospective gold projects, consisting of 32
Prospecting Licenses (PLs) and 71 Primary Mining Licenses (PMLs) and five
uranium projects consisting of 9 Prospecting and Reconnaissance Licenses plus
two licenses currently under application, within its Tanzania property
portfolio, covering approximately 3,865 square kilometers (955,062 acres). We
carry out our business by acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral properties
through our ongoing exploration program. Following exploration, we intend to
either advance them to a commercially feasible mining stage, enter joint
ventures to further develop these properties, sell or dispose of them if the
properties do not meet our requirements. Our properties are all early stage
exploration properties. Within our mineral exploration land in Tanzania our
focus is primarily on gold, although our portfolio also contains uranium
prospects.
We have no revenues, we have incurred losses since inception
and we have relied upon the sale of our securities to fund operations. To date,
we have not discovered a commercially viable ore body, mineral deposit or
mineral reserve on any of our properties and we will be unable to do so until
further exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation concludes an economic
and legal feasibility study.
Our property portfolio is large, therefore we may interest
other companies in our properties to either participate by means of option or
joint venture agreements in the exploration of them or to finance and establish
production if mineralization is found.
Prospective Gold Projects
The following is a brief overview of our portfolio of
prospective mineral properties, the exploration developments on them where
applicable and some of the details of the historical option agreements for them.
During the three months ended September 30, 2011, our exploration work was
primarily concentrated on the Singida, Musoma Bunda Murangi, Uyowa, North Mara
and Handeni gold projects.
Musoma Bunda Murangi Gold Project
The Musoma Bunda Murangi Gold Project is comprised of three (3)
Prospecting Licenses (PLs) that are located on the eastern side of Lake
Victoria. All three licenses lie within the Musoma-Mara Greenstone belt and
cover a combined area of 155.74 square kilometers in the northeast of the United
Republic of Tanzania, East Africa, close to the southeast shore of Lake
Victoria.
Musoma, located 30 kilometers north of the Suguti license, is
the main commercial centre of Mara Region. The town of Bunda, located on the
main Mwanza - Musoma paved highway, is 18 kilometers to the east of the
Kinyambwiga license.
Exploration Strategy
During this reporting period, exploration work within this
project has largely been focused on the Kinyambwiga and Suguti licenses.
Kinyambwiga PL4653/2007
Exploration has been focused around Kanunga 1 Prospect. A total
of 17 Schlumberger N-S profiles, covering 7.50 line-kilometres have been
undertaken to the east and west of Kanunga 1 in an attempt to trace the strike
of the mineralized ENE-WSW quartz vein (
Table 1
). Results of the survey
have identified at least 2 distinct chargeability anomalies that appear
consistent with the strike of the known structure (
Map 1
). However,
subdued to poor resistivity anomalies are noted across each of the profiles.

Map 1: Plan showing the location of the Schlumberger IP
profiles across the interpolated mineralized structure of Kanunga 1.
Follow-up investigation of the coincident
chargeability/resistivity highs west of Kanunga 1, was undertaken by pitting and
soil sampling beneath the mbuga cover. Soil sampling was undertaken on 10 meter
sample intervals along the NS Schlumberger VES traverse lines across the
underlying coincident chargeability/resistivity anomalies (Table 2). All samples
were sieved and submitted to SGS Laboratory Mwanza for gold analysis by Aqua
Regia. Results are summarized in Table 3.

Follow-up investigation into a number of soil anomalies ranging
from 80 ppb to 1,260 ppb gold that occur in the eastern part of the license,
east of Kanunga 1 was undertaken. These anomalies were found to lie within the
boundary of Kanunga School and unfortunately permission to re-sample these
positions was denied by the school authorities. However, soil sampling on 25
meters centers along 100 meter spaced N-S traverses on either side of the school
did reveal a slight increase in anomalous soil values from 30 to 200 ppb Au
(
Map 1
).
Similarly, follow-up investigations of the soil anomalies to
the west of Kanunga 1 were also completed at Target 3. These soil anomalies lie
approximately 300 meters east from a circular magnetic structure, interpolated
to represent an intrusive body. No outcrop is present but the topography is
noted to be slightly raised above the surrounding plains. Sampling was
undertaken along 100 meter spaced N-S traverses with a sample spacing of 25
metres. Results returned low gold-in-soil anomalies ranging between 18 to 30 ppb
Au across all three traverse lines. Repeat sampling taken at the sample position
that returned 400 ppb Au (2009) returned 25 ppb Au.
The results of the 135 soil samples from all target areas are
shown in

Orientation pits were first dug to establish the depth of the
mbuga cover over the position of the mineralized intersection. In all cases
the mbuga cover was found to be less than 3 meters thick allowing for a number
of short NS trenches to be excavated across the anomaly. A total of 94 meters of
trenches and 47 channel samples were planned. However, due to the presence of
the school only 76 meters of trench was excavated and 30 channel samples
collected.
Granite was encountered in all trenches underlying a narrow
stone layer and +1 meter thick mbuga clay top soil . One trench did intersect
a non-magnetic diabase dyke. Channel samples collected on 2 meter intervals,
were analysed by 50 gm Fire Assay at SGS Laboratory Mwanza, but returned no
anomalous values. However, a sample of the transported quartz stone layer
lying above the basement granite did return a value of 2.28g/t Au. It appears
that the anomalous RAB intercepts may be the result of contamination from the
stone layer and therefore does not represent an in situ anomaly.

Suguti (PL3966/2006)
Exploration work has commenced on the Suguti PL. Gradient IP
surveys have been partly completed across the PL. Mapping and soil sampling
programs have been completed over non-mbuga covered area in the northern and
southern parts of the Suguti License. Soil sampling has been conducted on a 400
meter x 50 meter grid in which a total of 544 samples, including 26 blank
samples, have been collected and analyzed by SGS Laboratory, Mwanza using Aqua
Regia (Table 4).
A total of 544 samples have been collected from the Suguti
project of which includes 26 blank samples.

Over 71% of the soil results returned <10ppb gold with the
remainder falling between 10 to 50ppb gold. A single, maximum soil value of
160ppb Au was reported and has yet to be verified in the field.
Regolith mapping has been completed across the entire Suguti
license. The license is transected by the major NW-SE trending Suguti Fault
which has formed a topographic depression that has subsequently been infilled by
a thick deposit of mbuga that covers an area of some 25 square kilometers and
constitutes 34% of the license. The area becomes totally waterlogged during the
wet season and is used for growing rice. Exposure is limited to minor rock out
crops on the northern side of the Suguti Fault. Granite, containing magnetite,
occurs as a hill in the northern part of the license. The granite/greenstone
contact is masked by coarse textured laterite consisting of laterised basaltic
and quartz fragments. The underlying greenstone rocks have been intensely
sheared and iron stained along to the NW-SE trending granite contact. Brick-red
soils make up the NE part of the license before being masked by the overlying
mbuga further south. A number of low order threshold soil anomalies, attaining
a maximum of 50 ppb gold, appear to form at least three NE trending parallel
zones of up to 2.5 kilometers strike length (Target 1). A coincident IP anomaly
underlies the soil anomaly (Map 3).
Map 3: Residual Gradient IP map of the Suguti North Prospect
showing main lithologic contacts, soil anomalies, termitaria and Schlumberger
VES surveys across Targets 1 and 2.
A reconnaissance examination has been made on the north-western
side of the license at Target 2. A single artisanal pit is present on a NW-SE
trending narrow quartz vein within felsite rocks. A number of low order
threshold soil anomalies occur in the vicinity and these anomalies may reflected
an intersection of two NE and NW trending lineaments.
Exploration work has been limited to infill soil sampling,
pitting and termite sampling over targets 1 and 2 as well as a single
Schlumberger VES N-S profile across Target 1 during the quarter.
13
Infill soil sampling on 25 meter centers
along the existing soil sample traverses, in order to better define the soil
anomalies both at Target 1 and 2 , was completed during the previous quarter,
(Table 5). A total of 106 samples were submitted to SGS Laboratory Mwanza for
Aqua Regia analysis of gold, the results of which are summarized in Table 5.
Additional sampling along 200 metre spaced N-S infill lines is planned (Table
9).

Pitting
|
|
|
|
|
|
Orientation pits were dug to determine the depth of the
mbuga as well as to test the contact between the granite and the
greenstone rocks. A total of 14 pits were dug, and on average, it was
found that the thickness of the mbuga varied between 0.8 to 1.20 meters
(Table 8). Assay results of the underlying soil are
pending.

Termite samples
|
|
|
|
|
|
Termite sampling has been undertaken across the brown-red
soils over Target 1 and in the south of the PL. A total of 89 samples have
been collected and have been assayed. A single anomalous termite mound,
located within the soil anomaly of Target 1, returned 70 ppb Au.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Banded Iron Formations in the southern part of the
property, form topographic highs about 300 meters above the plains, have
yet to be examined. However, no coherent anomalies other than a single
point value of 160 ppb gold and a single line anomaly of 20 ppb gold was
obtained from the soil sampling program. A cluster of termites were
sampled close to the contact with the lower slopes of the BIF outcrop and
the Mbuga cover on the western side of the PL. A number of anomalous
termite mounds ranging from 40 to 230 ppb gold was identified (Map 3).
Field investigation is required before any follow-up exploration is
proposed.

|
Schlumberger VES survey, consisting of five N-S profiles
totaling 3.6 line-kilometers have been planned across targets 1 and 2
(Table 9). One N-S profile was completed on the eastern side of Target 1.
Results revealed two sets of coincident chargeability/resistivity
anomalies underlying two of the 3 ENE trending soil anomalies (Map

Mapping of the target areas on 1:2000 scale
|
|
|
|
|
2.
|
Gradient IP survey across the entire license

Singida Gold Project
Company personnel first visited the Singida project area during
March, 2009 and became aware of the high level of artisanal (small scale) gold
mining that was being conducted along an estimated five (5) kilometer
mineralized zone. Subsequently, on May 15, 2009, the Company signed a Mineral
Financing Agreement with one director of the Company authorizing him, on behalf
of the Company, to acquire Primary Mining Licenses (PMLs) in the Singida area.
As of July 13, 2011, this director has entered into several different Mineral
Properties Sales and Purchase agreements with multiple PML owners that hold
title to the licenses along the mineralized zone at the Singida project area.
Twenty-three (23) PML agreements were executed for an outright purchase of the
PMLs and they have been completed. These twenty-three PMLs have been 100%
acquired by this director in behalf of the Company. On August 9, 2011, the
Company relinquished 17 PMLs. The Company also has option agreements to acquire
an additional twenty (20) PMLs within a targeted area at the Singida project.
Under the terms of all the agreements, if we complete all sixty (60) of the
various agreements, that when combined form the Singida project area, then our
total purchase consideration will be approximately $4,531,040 (TZS7,551,733,325)
by February, 2013. At the option of the Company, a 2% Net Smelter Production
royalty or 2% of the Net Sale Value may be substituted in place of the final
payment for each PML and paid on a pro rata basis determined by the total final
number of PMLs involved in a special mining license.
The Company completed a 2
nd
Phase Reverse
Circulation drilling March 2011, centered at the Sambaru 2, 3, 4 and 5 Prospects
in which 92 boreholes, totaling 9,023 meters were drilled.
An evaluation of the drill results for both Phase 1 and 2
programs has shown that gold mineralization at the Singida-Londoni project
consists of narrow medium to low grade and often discontinuous lenses. The shear
structures hosting the gold-rich zones typically pinch and swell along strike,
which in places, has resulted in larger pods of limited size as at Sambaru 3 and
Sambaru 4 which indicates that the gold deposits have limited potential to be
developed into a major ore resource contrary to the Companys vision of
discovering substantially larger and economically viable gold deposits in the
short term. In this regard, the Company believes that the nature and extent of
the mineralization
16
revealed thus far may lend itself rather towards a small-scale
commercial mining operation, a joint venture or a possible sale.The Company will
therefore endeavor to utilize through Joint Venture or sale the Singida assets
to assist in funding its other projects.
The Company has reduced the number of PMLs that were under
option from 37 to 20 PMLs and together with the remaining 23 PMLs, the mineral
rights of which are owned exclusively (100%) by the Company, encompass the
Sambaru 2, 3 and 4 Prospects.
The Company has recently completed a Technical report in
compliance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and this report includes
work completed on the Singida-Londoni Gold Project and the Phase 1 drilling
program. It does not include results for the Phase 2 drilling program.
Buhemba Gold Project
The Buhemba Gold Project consists of two (2) Prospecting
Licenses (PLs) that cover an area about 107km
2
.
1. Nyanza PL4892/2007
The Nyanza PL4892/2007 is currently under renewal application . No work was
undertaken during the quarter.
Previously, field investigation of the
work undertaken by Randgold Resources has confirmed the presence of at least 4
areas of artisanal workings. Follow-up exploration is planned to target the
known areas of artisanal mining as well as to investigate the western sheared
basalt/granite contact in PL4892/2007. Although the PMLs of the artisanal
workings do not form part of the PL license, we believe that the owners will be
amenable to entering an option agreement. Once the Minister of Mines approves
the application to renew the license, a number of E-W Schlumberger profiles are
planned across the sheared contact in order to prioritize target delineation
with a subsequent follow-up reverse circulation (RC) drilling program shortly
thereafter.
2. Mageta PL2979/2005
& PL5159/20090
No work has been conducted on either of
the two, narrow E-W licenses, PL2979/2005 and PL5159/2009, southeast of Buhemba
town during the quarter. Reconnaissance Field investigation involving mapping
and selective soil and termite sampling is planned for the 4
th
Quarter.
Kiabakari East (PL7142/2011)
The Kiabakari East Project is located approximately 55
kilometers southeast of Musoma town, in the Mara Region. The PL, covering 15.2
square kilometres and lying within the central part of the Musoma-Mara
Greesntone Belt, was granted by the Ministry of Mines in April 2011.
The PL was previously investigated by Randgold Resources who
excavated a number of N-S trenches across a small hill, rising some 50 meters
above the landscape, comprising of Banded Iron Formation (BIF) rocks in the
central to southern part of the PL. They also undertook 3 N-S drill fences,
totalling 24 reverse circulation drill holes, along strike to the east of the
BIF hill. No information is currently available. Minor artisanal mining
activities are present on the BIF hill. Recently, the eastern part of the
license has been invaded by + 500 artisanal miners who have exposed a N-S
trending gold bearing structure hosted by a quartz porphory dyke within a
metasedimentary rock sequence.
Exploration Strategy
Detailed mapping of the BIF hill and immediate environs were
initially undertaken. A number of trenches and artisanal pits were cleared of
bush and selective sampling, including grab samples and 2 meter composite
channel samples along the sidewall of the trenches and at the base of the pits,
were collected (
Map 4
). The BIF is intensely folded and in places
sheared. Fold axes trend NW-SE with an apparent plunge to the SE. Artisanal
activity is selectively mining the quartz veinlets within the shear zones. A
total of 33 rock samples were collected across the BIF hill and submitted to SGS
laboratory Mwanza for 50 gm Fire assay for gold. Results are summarized in Table
10
.
17
Regional geological mapping and in-house ground magnetic survey
along 200 meter spaced N-S traverse lines, and totalling 78.2 line-kilometres,
were completed across the license. The license is divided by the eastward
flowing Kyarano river which appears to flow along the contact beween the granite
hills to the north and the meta-sedimentary rocks to the south which comprise
mainly of argillites and BIF. A outcrop of basalt containing dessiminated pyrite
is noted in the NW corner of the license, north of the Kyarano river and forms
the western contact with the granite hills. Results of the 5 rock samples taken
of the pyritised basalt are pending.
A total of 106 termites was collected during mapping. No
visible gold (VG) was noted in any of the panned samples. Selective termites
samples, based on the regolith profile, are planned to be submitted to SGS
Laboratory for 500 gm BLEG analysis for gold.

Uyowa Gold Project
The Uyowa Gold project consists of seven (7) Prospecting
Licenses (PLs) that cover a total area of 900 square kilometers in the west
central area of Tanzania. Exploration has largely been focused in the northern
part of the license block.
Exploration Strategy
Exploration work on the Uyowa Project commenced on PL3425/2007,
Target 3, in January 2011 and continued until the onset of the rainy season in
early May:
Aeromagnetic data was acquired from the geological Survey,
Dodoma and re-processed and interpreted.
Remote sensing studies were undertaken using various Band
ratios with Landsat Imagery and was used in conjuction with field mapping.
Ground magnetic surveys on 200 meter N-S traverse lines were
undertaken across the eastern part of Target 3 in which a total of 35 traverses
amounting to 265 line-kilometers were completed before exploration closed down
for the rainy season.
Soil sampling on 400 meter x 50 meter centers was completed
across the eastern part of Target 3 in which 1057 soil samples were collected
and analysed for gold by SGS Laboratory, Mwanza. A number of anomalous soil
sample values ranging from 30 ppb to 420 ppb gold, occurring close to the
eastern boundary of the license, require follow-up field investigation.
Field work re-commenced in the last week of July with attention
being focused on the northern PL5153/2008.
Landsat and ASTER image interpretation using the various
mineral index ratios had been previously completed across the PL. Both ENE and
cross-cutting NW structures were noted cross-cutting a large circular feature
around which the Igombe river flows northwards from the eastern side of the PL
and around to the western side before draining off to the SW.
An option agreement was made on 4 of the 11 locally owned PMLs
that cover the main area of artisanal mining. At the same time there was a local
gold rush into the area with the artisanal miners targeting the previously known
workings.
Exploration by Ashanti in 2003 identified 4 narrow zones of
gold mineralization having an east-west strike length of some 300 meters with
grades up to 27.16 g/t gold over 4 meters across a zone of artisanal pits.
Artisanal mining has currently exposed the mineralizing E-W structures across
some 900 meters in strike length with pitting continuing across the lateritic
soils further out along strike to the east.
Exploration was immediately focused on mapping in detail the
zone of artisanal workings as well as evaluating the mineralization being
exposed by the artisanal miners. A number of shafts were selectively chosen on
approximately 80 meters spaced centers along the trend in order to coincide with
the planned N-S drilling grid. A total of 25 shafts and pits were channeled
sampled across the working face at the base of the shafts having depths of
between 5 to 22 meters. Samples were collected across the narrow mineralised
vein, which ranged between 10 to 35 centimeters wide as well as hanging and
footwall zones. A total of 47 samples were collected and submitted to SGS
Laboratory for 50 gm Fire Assay. Results are summarized in Table 10. Mapping
indicated a narrow, high grade quartz-rich gold bearing zone containing
dissiminated pyrite, striking ENE and dipping steeply to the north beneath a 10
meter thick sand and lateritic duricrust cover.
19
A Reverse Circulation drill program was planned and executed
during September and October. A total of 2,470 meters of drilling was completed.
Drilling was aimed at testing the strike extensions of the known mineralised
gold mineralization. Drill samples were collected across the gold bearing zones
on 1 meter intervals with the results consequently representing a diluted grade
to those higher grade assays that were over narrow widths within the artisanal
shafts (Table 10).
Unlike the central and eastern part of the Prospect, which is
represented by a single mineralised structure, the western part comprises of at
least 4 mineralised veins that generally, not only have increased widths, but,
from the results received to date, also reflect substantially higher gold
grades, across a strike length of some 300 meters and to a vertical depth of 60
meters below surface (Table 11
,
Map 5).

Map 5: Drilling grid showing increase number of gold bearing
structures in the western part of the trend
A single drill hole, collared 400 meters to the east of the
artisanal workings, targeted the interpolated position along strike of the
mineralised shear zone. A number of zones of pyrite mineralization and
associated silicification with quartz veining and minor visible gold were noted
down-hole indicating the persistence of the mineralised shear zone for at least
some 1700 meters along strike.
Prior to commencing the reverse circulation drill program, both
a ground magnetic survey and Schlumberger VES profiling was undertaken: The
in-house ground magnetic survey was conducted along 200 meter spaced N-S
traverses across the central part of PL5153/2008, covering a total area of 75
square kilometers. The ground magnetic signature reflects a large isoclinal E-W
trending fold, whose northern limb is coincident with the trend of the known
gold mineralization. A N-S graben structure on the western end of the trend
coincides with the last of the artisanal workings. This area, unlike the
artisanal site where laterite is often exposed on surface, is overlain by sand
cover for some 500 metres to the west before lateritic soils are again present
suggesting possible continuation of the mineralised trend further westwards.
Schlumberger VES orientation, N-S profiles of 300 meters in
length were undertaken across the zone of artisanal workings in order to test
and define the mineralised zone before applying the method to trace the
mineralisation along strike as well as testing a number of ground magnetic
targets (Table 12). A total of 12 N-S profiles, amounting to 3.60
line-kilometers, of the 24 planned planned profiles were completed before the
end of the drilling program. Results of the orientation survey across the
artisanal mining site indicated that a number of profiles reflected coincident
chargeability/resistivity anomalies over the known mineralization.

A number of Schlumberger profiles were undertaken along the
interpreted northern limb of the E-W trending antiform towards the apparent
fold closure in the eastern side of the PL. Results revealed a number of
coincident chargeability and resistivity anomalies across the limb of the
fold. A single borehole was drilled, 3.36 kilometers east from the artisanal
workings, to test the magnetic signature and IP Schlumberger anomalies along the
fold arc. The area is overlain by red lateritic soils. Drilling intersected a
number of zones of increased magnetite alteration down-hole. No pyrite or
silicification were noted and in effect the borehole failed to intersect any
mineralisation. A second borehole was drilled to test a similar ground magnetic
signature that is present within the inner core of the fold zone 1.20
kilometers to the south of the artisanal workings and within the NW-SE
structural corridor that defines the higher grade portion of the mineralised
zone to the north. Although no assay results are currently available, the
borehole did intersect an anomalous 4 meter zone of disseminated pyrite
mineralization overlying a zone of magnetite-rich granitic gneiss.
Regional mapping of granitic gneiss outcrops to the south-east
of the zone indicate the presence of sinsitral NW-SE faults zones. These faults
may have a controlling influence where they cross the ENE-SWS gold bearing shear
zone as
22
is seen by the improved gold grades and widths in the western
part of the artisanal mining area (Map 5). Such features are important
structural controls for other gold deposits elsewhere in the Lake Victoria Gold
Belt.
Soil sampling is currently in progress over a 200 meter x 50
meter N-S grid. A total of 1151 samples of 1 kilogram each have been collected
to date. Based on the regolith mapping, 533 samples were selectively chosen
across red-brown lateritic soils, prepared on site to 80 mesh and submitted,
together with 5% Blanks (29 samples), to SGS Laboratory Mwanza for gold and
arsenic determination by Aqua Regia in ppb and ppm levels respectively. The
remaining samples were collected largely over sand cover and will be retained
for possible later submission if warranted by further mapping.
Results indicate that 92% of all samples returned gold values
below 10 ppb. No arsenic is present with all sample values being below detection
limit (<20 ppm), refer Table 13. All the anomalous gold values occur as
single point values along the known E-W zone of gold mineralization. A single
maximum value of > 200 ppb gold occurs some 450 meters south of the
mineraliased trend.

Termitaria sampling has been focused in testing the underlying
geochemistry of the various ground magnetic and structural targets. A total of
279 termite mounds of intermediate to cathedral in size have been sampled and
approximately 1 kg of sample has been panned at site. Results are generally
disappointing with only a few termites returning a single nugget of gold. A
number of large termites exist on the artisanal workings and these also failed
to return any gold. It is believed that the near surface water table level
coupled with sand cover as well as the laterite duricrust has restricted the use
of termite mounds as a geochemical sampling method in this district.
An in-house, gradient array IP survey is currently in progress
across 200 meter spaced N-S traverses and will cover a total area of 40 square
kilometers. Results, together with the ground magnetic survey, mapping and soil
geochemistry, is expected to refine and improve the structural interpretations
and target definition across the project area.
Additional targets evolving from the IP interpretation will be
further tested by Schlumberger VES profiles in order to prioritize targets for a
later RAB program to be planned in 2012.
Prior to embarking on a RAB program, a short diamond drill
program of 1000 metres is recommended to help define structural controls in the
western part of the ENE trending mineralised shear zone with the aim of planning
additional drilling to increase the resource potential of the prospect.
On going exploration on PL3425/2007 to the south is planned to
include:
|
1.
|
Ground checking of Landsat and ASTER imaging by following
up on a number of iron alteration zones.
|
|
2.
|
Field investigation and follow up sampling through
termitaria/soil/pitting/trenching on any of the delineated soil anomalies
as delineated from the earlier soil sampling program that was completed
prior to the rainy season earlier in the year.

Handeni Gold Project
The Handeni Project, comprising of three (3) Prospecting
Licenses and covering a total area of 200.59 square kilometers (Table 15), is
located approximately 240 kilometres by road north-west of Dar es Salaam and
some 30 kilometers south of Handeni town within the Handeni District (Map 6).
The Company has acquired 100% of PL7148/2011 as well as entering into an option
to purchase agreement for 100% of PL7002/2001 and PL4816/2807 (Table 14).

The area, situated outside the known boundary of the Tanzanian
Craton, has long been overlooked as a major exploration target due to primarily
the nature of the high grade metamorphic rocks not being considered suitable to
host major gold deposits. Increased attention is now being paid to this area
that is situated between the known Tanzanian Craton and the Proterozoic
Mozambique Mobile Belt.
24
The geology of the region is represented by high grade
metamorphic rocks within the amphibolite to granulite facies comprising of
feldspar-quartzbiotite and garnet-hornblende-biotite gneisses and pegmatites
aligned along a regional northwest-southeast trend. The host lithologies for
gold mineralisation as reported by Canaco Resources are comprised of
garnet-silica altered amphibolite together with minor
biotite-kyanite-quartz-feldspar gneisses. Folding, with fold axes aligned along
the regional structure are evident at Magambazi, where they form, in conjunction
with the favourable mafic lithologies, the primary controls to the gold
mineralisation.
Exploration Strategy
Prior to commencing fieldwork, the following desktop studies
were undertaken:
25
-
Structural interpretation of the regional Government Aerognetic data
across the area
-
Landsat interpretation using the various mineral indexes and alteration
ratios.
Stream sediment sampling is currently being conducted over all
of the licenses in order to evaluate the potential of the licenses under option
as swiftly as possible.
The dominant drainage patterns are from the north-west to the
south-east and are generally defined along major lithological contacts
particularly between units of amphibolite and quartz-feldspar gneiss. The
Mligazi River, transecting the SW corner of Mkulima PL4816/2007 and the Kwale
River draining the Amani PL7002/2011 are the main river systems that drain both
license areas. Secondary tributaries are developed along the NE-SW cross-cutting
structures. Regional stream sediment sampling has been planned on
1
st
, 2
nd
, 3
rd
and 4
th
order
tributaries from the 1:50,000 scale topography maps (Map 7). To date a total of 120 samples have been collected from
the Mkulima PL, in which a 1 kilogram sample was panned on site and a 500 gm
sample has been submitted to SGS Laboratory to test for
bottleleachable-extractable gold (BLEG). Approximately 210 stream sediment
samples are planned to be collected from Amani PL7002/2011.

Mkulima PL4816/2007&Mkulima East PL7148/2011
Stream sediment sampling and mapping of the drainages were
undertaken across the adjoining licenses. Samples were collected above the
confluences of streams from the gravel layer whenever possible, sieved to 1mm in
the field and bagged as two x 500 gm samples one of the samples to be panned
at site for visible gold and the other sample being submitted to SGS Laboratory,
Mwanza to test for bottleleachable-extractable gold (BLEG).
Based on the first round of pan results, a number of areas
within the PLs were selected for follow-up stream sediment sampling. Selective
soil sampling was undertaken across prospective lithologies of amphibolite
gneiss.
A total of 198 stream sediment samples and 128 soil samples
were collected. Results are summarised in Table 15
and Map 7

Two main targets (Targets 1 and 1a) were identified on Mkulima
PL4816/2008 (Map 8).
The amphibolite ridge, constituting Target 1, lies immediately
to the north of the active artisanal alluvial site in the Milgazi river, located
immediately south of the license boundary. Additional stream sediment samples
were collected from the drainages around the ridge of Target 1. Results were
mostly below detection limit (<10ppb Au) indicating that the ridge is barren
of gold.
In the northwestern part of the PL at Target 1a, a number of
artisanal pits were noted in the southeasterly flowing dry river bed that runs
along the contact between pegmatitic and amphibolitic gneisses. The artisanal
workings, from which minor gold was panned, were found to be test pits, commonly
found in most of the drainages in the area and do not consitiute an active
artisanal site. Additional stream sediment sampling failed to encounter any
increase in gold. A 700 metre N-S traverse line, along which soil samples were
collected every 25 metres was undertaken over the artisanal workings and across
the amphibolite hill to the north (Map 8). Most of the results returned values
below detection limit with a maximum value of 20 ppb gold being noted. As a
further check, a 1.80 kilometer E-W sampling traverse was completed from the
artisanal pits across the amphibolite ridge to the east with samples collected
every 25 metres. All the results returned gold values below detection limit. A
further E-W sample line was completed along the northern boundary of the PL,
some 800 metres from the previous sample line, to test the western part of the
amphibolite ridge. Although minor gold was noted in the drainages in the far NE
corner of the PL, all the soil results returned gold values below detection
limit.
27
Map 8: Stream sediment anomaly map showing potential target
areas for follow up stream and soil sampling
At the end of the 3 month option period PL4816/2007 was
considered to have little potential to host a gold deposit and was subsequently
retuned to the owner.
One target (Target 2) was identified to the east on the
adjoining PL7148/2011. Results of the stream sediment sampling indicated
gold-in-streams draining to the west off a small NW-SE trending ridge in the
central part of the license (Map 8). Old artisanal working were noted on the
western hill slope in which outcrops of garnet-kyanite- biotite and amphibolite
gneisses occur. A follow-up 200 metre x 25 metre E-W soil sample grid (Map 7), in which 165 soil samples have been collected, has
recently been completed. Results are pending.
Amani PL7002/2011
The PL, covering an area of 170 sqaure
kilometers, is located 32 kilometers southeast of Handeni town and 5 kilometers
northeast of the Mkata junction which lies on the main tar road to Tanga.
The license is underlain by alternating lithologies of
amphibolites, biotite-garnet-amphibolite gneisses and quartz-feldspar and
pegmatatic gneisses striking NW-SE. Low angle reverse thrusts trending NNW-SSW
to N-S are noted in the central and western parts of the license (Map 9). These
thrust planes are considered to be related to the Proterozic Mozambique Mobile
Belt that becomes increasingly evident towards the SE. Streams, often defining
lithological contacts, drain the area to the southeast.
Exploration Strategy
Stream sediment sampling has mainly been undertaken across the
western part of the license, west of the main Mkata/Handeni road . Currently,
the streams in the eastern part of the license are being sampled. A total of 253
stream sediment samples have been collected and panned, the results of which are
indicate in Table 16
and Map 9
.
28
At least 5 target areas were outlined from the anomalous
gold-in-streams for follow up soil sampling and mapping. Addditional stream
sediment targets will require field investigation, checking and mapping prior to
initiateing selective soil sample programs (Map 9).

A single stream sediment sample collected from Target 5 in the
northern most part of the PL and which panned 4 grains of visible gold, returned
the highest grade of 2.45 gm/t gold so far noted from streams within the
license.
Map 9: Stream sediment anomalies and soil sampling targets on
Amani PL7002/2011
Alluvial mining by artisanal miners is active in the SW corner
of the license. The streams containing the gold drain off two N-S trending
ridges of amphibolitic gneiss that cover a combined strike length of 1.7
kilometers (Targets 2 and 4).
29
Soil sampling, along an E-W grid on 200 meters x 25 meters
sample intervals, has been completed. Results are pending.
Although evidence of minor artisanal activity is noted
elsewhere on the license, particulary as test pits and shafts within the
drainage systems, no mining is currently being done. A number of small pits have
been excavated on the massive amphibolite ridge in the northern part of the
license but were found to be barren of gold. The southern slope of the
amphibolite ridge and contact between the amphibolite and the quartz-feldspar
gneiss to the south has been soil sampled on a 200 meter x 50 meter grid across
a strike length of 2.5 kilometers (Target 1). Due to discrepancies in the
initial results of some of the samples, the grid is to be re-sampled. Anomalous
stream sediment values are noted further along strike of the amphibolite ridge
towards the NW corner of the license (Target 1).
Although stream sediment sampling has shown that gold is present
on the Amani PL, follow-up soil sampling programs across these target areas
are planned to define the extent of this gold mineralization.
Acquisition of Primary Mining Licenses in Singida, Tanzania
On May 15, 2009, a subsidiary of the Company, Kilimanjaro
Mining Company Inc., entered into a Mineral Financing Agreement with a director
of the Company authorizing him, on behalf of the Company, to acquire Primary
Mining Licenses (PMLs) in the Singida area of Tanzania. On October 27, 2009,
an amended Mineral Financing Agreement was signed between the director (a
Tanzanian national) and the Company. The agreement was entered into as a result
of certain requirements under the Tanzania Mining Act as it relates to the
ability to hold title to Primary Mining Licenses (PMLs). The Mining Act allows
only a Tanzanian national or a Tanzanian corporation that is 100% owned by
Tanzanian nationals to hold title to PMLs. As a result, the Company entered into
the Mineral Financing Agreement along with a Statutory Declaration and
Declaration of Trust with one of its directors (a Tanzanian National) to
facilitate the optioning, exploration and purchase of the PMLs at the Singida
gold project. Upon application, approval and the issuing of a Special Mining
License that is comprised of two or more of the PMLs in the Singida project
area, the Company will become the registered owner on title.
At the option of the Company, any PMLs may be relinquished at
any time during the agreement and the title transferred back to the original
owner. Also, at the option of the Company, a 2% Net Smelter Production royalty
or 2% of the Net Sale Value may be substituted in place of the final payment for
each PML and paid on a pro rata basis determined by the total final number of
PMLs involved in a special mining license.
Under the terms of the mineral properties sales and purchase
agreements the Company has completed initial option payments in the amount of
$2,058,322. As of September 30, 2011, the Company has acquired 100% of 23 PMLs.
The Company relinquished 17 PMLs and has the option to acquire 20 additional and
different PMLs in the Singida area. Pursuant to the original agreement and the
subsequent addendums, the Company agreed to pay approximately $360,000 on
January 23, 2013 and $2,340,000 on February 24, 2013 or at the option of the
Company, a 2% Net Smelter Production royalty or 2% of the Net Sale Value may be
substituted in place of the final payment for each PML and paid on a pro rata
basis determined by the total final number of PMLs involved in a special mining
license.
Acquisition of Prospecting Licenses in Tanzania
On April 20, 2011, the Company entered into a Prospecting
License Purchase Agreement with Pili Sadiki, to acquire a 100% interest in a
certain prospecting license located in the Kiabakari Musoma District of
Tanzania.
On April 20, 2011, the Company entered into a Prospecting
License Purchase Agreement with Rashid Omar, to acquire a 100% interest in a
certain prospecting license located in the Handeni Tanga District of
Tanzania.
On May 30, 2011, the Company entered into a Prospecting License
Purchase Agreement with Manga Mining Company to acquire a 100% interest in a
certain prospecting license located in the Handeni Tanga District of Tanzania.
On September 20, 2011, the Company terminated this agreement.
On July 1, 2011, the Company entered into a Prospecting License
Purchase Agreement with I. M. Kwematuku Export Trade Ltd. to acquire up to 100%
interest in a certain prospecting license located in the Handeni Tanga District
of Tanzania.
30
On July 19, 2011, Guardian Investment Ltd, a related party, on
behalf of the Company, entered into a mineral properties option agreement to
acquire four Primary Mining Licenses (PMLs) within the license area of the Uyowa
project.
General
The following is a discussion and analysis of our plan of
operation and results of operations for the three and six month period ended
September 30, 2011, and the factors that could affect our future financial
condition. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto included
elsewhere in this quarterly report. Our consolidated financial statements are
prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles. All references to dollar amounts in this section are in United
States dollars unless expressly stated otherwise.
Plan of Operation
As of September 30, 2011, we had working capital of
approximately $977,000. We plan to spend approximately $175,000 for our property
acquisitions and $1,660,000 for exploration activities fox next twelve months,
with work being conducted on several projects including soil sampling, trenching
and drilling. We will need to raise additional funds to finance the exploration
activities on our projects. There is no assurance that such financing would be
available at this time.
Our estimated expenses over the next twelve months are as
follows:

There is no historical financial information about us upon
which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage
corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot
guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is
subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise,
including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our
properties, possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases for services
and economic conditions. Because the Company does not currently derive any
production revenue from operations, its ability to conduct exploration and
development on properties is largely based upon its ability to raise capital by
equity funding.
Our exploration objective is to find an economic mineral body
containing gold. Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. This
includes a determination by our contracted consultants and professional staff
whether the property contains resources and/or reserves. Mineralized material is
a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriately spaced drilling
or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average percentage
grade of metals to justify removal. If we dont find mineralized material or we
cannot remove mineralized material, either because we do not have the money to
do so or because it is not economically feasible to do so, we will cease
operations or seek other properties.

General and Administrative Expenses
The $3,346 decrease in our general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 and the $35,041 increase in our general and administrative expenses for the six month period ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2010 was primarily due to increase in computer related expenses, office rent and insurance expenses.

the Exchange Act during the next twelve months. Accordingly, we will need to
obtain additional financing in order to complete our full business plan.
Going Concern
The unaudited financial statements accompanying our quarterly
report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 have been prepared
on a going concern basis, which implies that our company will continue to
realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal
course of business. Our company has not generated revenues since inception and
has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate
earnings in the immediate future. The continuation of our company as a going
concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders,
the ability of our company to obtain necessary equity financing to achieve our
operating objectives, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of
September 30, 2011, we had cash of $1,098,000 and we estimate that we will
require approximately $1,165,000 for general and administration costs and
professional fees, and $1,835,000 for property acquisition holding and
exploration costs associated with our plan of operation over the next twelve
months. Although we have sufficient funds for general and administration
activities, we do not have sufficient funds for planned mineral property
acquisition and exploration activities and therefore we will be required to
raise additional funds.
The advancement of our business is dependent upon us raising
additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us
could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current
stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be
available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Future Financings
We had an approximate cash balance of $1,098,380 and working
capital of $977,000 as of September 30, 2011 compared to a cash balance of
$2,282,902 and working capital of $2,110,177 as of March 31, 2011 and we
estimate that we will require approximately $3,000,000 for costs associated with
our plan of operation over the next twelve months. Accordingly, we do not have
sufficient funds for planned operations and we will be required to raise
additional funds for operations. We intend to raise additional funds from
another equity offering or loans. At the present time, we are attempting to
raise additional money, but there is no assurance that we will be successful. If
we need additional funds and are unable to raise them, we will have to suspend
or cease operations until we succeed in raising additional funds.
Outstanding shares and options
As of November 14, 2011, we have 97,458,733 shares of common
stock outstanding, 4,600,000 stock options outstanding and 21,404,901 warrants
outstanding.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are
reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations,
liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to
stockholders.

Risks And Uncertainties
Much of the information included in this quarterly report
includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other forward looking
statements. Such forward looking statements include any projections and
estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business
operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon
which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment
regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary,
sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions
or other future performance suggested herein.
Such estimates, projections or other forward looking
statements involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We
caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in
the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to
differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections
or other forward looking statements.
Risks Associated with Mining
All of our properties are in the exploration stage. There is
no assurance that we can establish the existence of any mineral resource on any
of our properties in commercially exploitable quantities. Until we can do so, we
cannot earn any revenues from operations and if we do not do so we will lose all
of the funds that we expend on exploration. If we do not discover any mineral
resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, our business could fail.
Despite exploration work on our mineral properties, we have not
established that any of them contain any mineral reserve, nor can there be any
assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not, our business could
fail.
A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange
Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at
http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/forms/industry.htm#secguide7
) as
that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted
or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an
individual prospect ever having a reserve that meets the requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commissions Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote; in
all probability our mineral resource property does not contain any reserve and
any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost.
Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on one or
more of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to
develop our properties into producing mines and extract those resources. Both
mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few
properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.
The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will
depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and
other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to
infrastructure such as a smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government
regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control,
and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified
mineral resource unprofitable.
Mineral operations are subject to applicable law and
government regulation. Even if we discover a mineral resource in a commercially
exploitable quantity, these laws and regulations could restrict or prohibit the
exploitation of that mineral resource. If we cannot exploit any mineral resource
that we might discover on our properties, our business may fail.
Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from
various foreign, federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities
and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to
prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation,
labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land
use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required
for the continued exploration of our mineral properties or for the construction
and operation of a mine on our properties at economically viable costs. If we
cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail.
We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and
regulations that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance
that we can continue to remain in compliance. Current laws and regulations could
be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further,
there can be no assurance that we will
34
be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our
future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms.
To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be
delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of
our mineral properties.
Our business activities are conducted in Tanzania.
Our mineral exploration activities in Tanzania may be affected
in varying degrees by political stability and government regulations relating to
the mining industry and foreign investment in that country. The government of
Tanzania may institute regulatory policies that adversely affect the exploration
and development (if any) of the Companys properties. Any changes in regulations
or shifts in political conditions in this country are beyond the control of the
Company and may adversely affect its business. Investors should assess the
political and regulatory risks related to the Companys foreign country
investments. Our operations may be affected in varying degrees by government
regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export
controls, foreign exchange controls, income taxes, expropriation of property,
environmental legislation and mine safety.
We may not have clear title to our properties.
Acquisition of title to mineral properties is a very detailed
and time-consuming process, and the Companys title to its properties may be
affected by prior unregistered agreements or transfers, or undetected defects.
Several of the Companys prospecting licenses are currently subject to renewal
by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals of Tanzania. In result, there is a risk
that we may not have clear title to all our mineral property interests, or they
may be subject to challenge or impugned in the future. We have exploration
licenses. We do not have a license to mine any minerals or reserves whatsoever
at this time on any part of our properties. Once exploration has advanced to a
point where mining on one or more of our properties is feasible, we plan to
apply for a mining license or licenses.
If we establish the existence of a mineral resource on any
of our properties in a commercially exploitable quantity, we will require
additional capital in order to develop the property into a producing mine. If we
cannot raise this additional capital, we will not be able to exploit the
resource, and our business could fail.
If we do discover mineral resources in commercially exploitable
quantities on any of our properties, we will be required to expend substantial
sums of money to establish the extent of the resource, develop processes to
extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure.
Although we may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a major
deposit, there can be no assurance that such a resource will be large enough to
justify commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be
able to raise the funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot
raise the necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and
infrastructure, our business may fail.
Mineral exploration and development is subject to
extraordinary operating risks. We do not currently insure against these risks.
In the event of a cave-in or similar occurrence, our liability may exceed our
resources, which would have an adverse impact on our company.
Mineral exploration, development and production involve many
risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation
may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards
and risks inherent in the exploration for mineral resources and, if we discover
a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantity, our operations could be
subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and
production of resources, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar
hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to
insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property,
including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance
coverage against these operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that
arise from any such occurrence would have a material adverse impact on our
company.
Mineral prices are subject to dramatic and unpredictable
fluctuations.
We expect to derive revenues, if any, either from the sale of
our mineral resource properties or from the extraction and sale of precious and
base metals such as gold, silver and copper. The price of those commodities has
fluctuated widely in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond
our control, including international, economic and political trends,
expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates,
global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased
production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction
35
and production methods. The effect of these factors on the
price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic viability of any
of our exploration properties and projects, cannot accurately be predicted.
The mining industry is highly competitive and there is no
assurance that we will continue to be successful in acquiring mineral claims. If
we cannot continue to acquire properties to explore for mineral resources, we
may be required to reduce or cease operations.
The mineral exploration, development, and production industry
is largely un-integrated. We compete with other exploration companies looking
for mineral resource properties. While we compete with other exploration
companies in the effort to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, we
will not compete with them for the removal or sales of mineral products from our
properties if we should eventually discover the presence of them in quantities
sufficient to make production economically feasible. Readily available markets
exist worldwide for the sale of mineral products. Therefore, we will likely be
able to sell any mineral products that we identify and produce.
In identifying and acquiring mineral resource properties, we
compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical
facilities. This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire
suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral resource
properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations.
If our costs of exploration are greater than anticipated,
then we may not be able to complete the exploration program for our Tanzanian
properties without additional financing, of which there is no assurance that we
would be able to obtain.
We are proceeding with the initial stages of exploration on our
Tanzanian properties. We are carrying out an exploration program that has been
recommended by a consulting geologist. This exploration program outlines a
budget for completion of the recommended exploration program. However, there is
no assurance that our actual costs will not exceed the budgeted costs. Factors
that could cause actual costs to exceed budgeted costs include increased prices
due to competition for personnel and supplies during the exploration season,
unanticipated problems in completing the exploration program and delays
experienced in completing the exploration program. Increases in exploration
costs could result in our not being able to carry out our exploration program
without additional financing. There is no assurance that we would be able to
obtain additional financing in this event.
Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mining
properties, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals
will be found and our business will fail.
We are in the initial stage of exploration of our mineral
property, and thus have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be
successful in establishing commercially exploitable reserves of gold, silver or
other valuable minerals on our Tanzanian properties.
The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely
risky. We may not find commercially exploitable reserves of gold, silver or
other valuable minerals in our mineral property. Exploration for minerals is a
speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. The expenditures to
be made by us on our exploration program may not result in the discovery of
commercial quantities of ore. The likelihood of success must be considered in
light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays
encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we
plan to undertake. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other
conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful
exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business
plan.
Because our executive officers have limited experience in
mineral exploration and do not have formal training specific to the
technicalities of mineral exploration, there is a higher risk that our business
will fail.
Our executive officers have limited experience in mineral
exploration and do not have formal training as geologists or in the technical
aspects of management of a mineral resource exploration company. As a result of
this inexperience, there is a higher risk of our being unable to complete our
business plan for the exploration of our mineral property. With no direct
training or experience in these areas, our management may not be fully aware of
many of the specific requirements related to working within this industry. Our
decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or
managerial approaches mineral resource exploration companies commonly use.
Consequently, the lack of training and experience of our management in this
industry could result in management making decisions that could
36
result in a reduced likelihood of our being able to locate
commercially exploitable reserves on our mineral property with the result that
we would not be able to achieve revenues or raise further financing to continue
exploration activities. In addition, we will have to rely on the technical
services of others with expertise in geological exploration in order for us to
carry out our planned exploration program. If we are unable to contract for the
services of such individuals, it will make it difficult and maybe impossible to
pursue our business plan. There is thus a higher risk that our operations,
earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm and our
business will likely fail.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result
in the dilution of our existing shareholders.
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to
250,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share. Our
board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one
or more businesses or to provide additional financing in the future. The
issuance of any such shares will reduce the book value and market price of the
outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional shares,
such issuance will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of all
current shareholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control
of our corporation.
Our common stock is illiquid and shareholders may be unable
to sell their shares.
There is currently a limited market for our common stock and we
can provide no assurance to investors that a market will develop. If a market
for our common stock does not develop, our shareholders may not be able to
re-sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and they may
lose all of their investment. Public announcements regarding our company,
changes in government regulations, conditions in our market segment or changes
in earnings estimates by analysts may cause the price of our common shares to
fluctuate substantially. In addition, stock prices for junior mineral
exploration companies fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to
their operating results. These fluctuations may adversely affect the trading
price of our common shares.
Penny stock rules will limit the ability of our stockholders
to sell their stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations
which generally define penny stock to be any equity security that has a market
price (as defined) 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 Securities and
Exchange Commission 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 customers 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 customers 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
purchasers 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.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has
adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a shareholders ability
to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the penny stock rules described above, FINRA
has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer,
a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment
is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced
securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-
37
dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information
about the customers financial status, tax status, investment objectives and
other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that
there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be
suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult
for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which
may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on
the market for its shares.
Because of the early stage of development and the nature of
our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.
Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally
because of the nature of our business and the early stage of our development. We
are engaged in the business of identifying, acquiring, exploring and developing
commercial reserves of primarily gold and potentially uranium. Our properties
are in the exploration stage only and are without known reserves of gold and/or
uranium. Accordingly, we have not generated any revenues nor have we realized a
profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will
generate any revenues or realize any profits in the short term. Any
profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating
and developing economic reserves of gold and/or uranium, which itself is subject
to numerous risk factors as set forth herein. Since we have not generated any
revenues, we will have to raise additional monies through the sale of our equity
securities or debt in order to continue our business operations.
We do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the
shares of stock of our company.
We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not
intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we
require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our
funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend
to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come
through an increase in the stocks price. This may never happen and investors
may lose all of their investment in our company.
Risks Related to Our Company
Our by-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and
directors.
Our by-laws provide the indemnification of our directors and
officers to the fullest extent legally permissible under the Nevada corporate
law against all expenses, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by
them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding. Furthermore, our by-laws
provide that our board of directors may cause our company to purchase and
maintain insurance for our directors and officers, and we have implemented
director and officer insurance coverage.
Because most of our directors and officers are residents of
other countries other than the United States, investors may find it difficult to
enforce, within the United States, any judgments obtained against our directors
and officers.
Most of our directors and officers are nationals and/or
residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial
portion of such persons assets are located outside the United States. As a
result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States
any judgments obtained against our officers or directors, including judgments
predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the
United States or any state thereof.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated
our companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by
this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered
by this report, these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are
designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company
in reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported
38
within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the
Securities Exchange Commission and to ensure that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our companys management, including our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective was due to the presence of the
following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which
are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate
segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient
written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with
respect to the requirements and application of both United States generally
accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission
guidelines. Management anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures
will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our
internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this
quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material
weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement
the following changes during our fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, subject to
obtaining additional financing: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to
address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and
(ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and
financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent
upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the
changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation
efforts may be adversely effected in a material manner.
It should be noted that while our management believes our
disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance, they
do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls
will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well
conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that
the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control
system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the
benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the
inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if
any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include
the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that
breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls
can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two
or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any
system of internal control is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will
succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system,
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting during the three month period ended September 30, 2011 that have
materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
