Commitments and Contingencies
|
|
(a)
|
On October 1, 2010, the Company entered into an option agreement with Victoria Gold Corp., covering 16 gold mining claims in the Province of Ontario. On November 9, 2011 the agreement was amended. Under the amended agreement, the Company has the right to acquire Victoria’s ownership interest in the sixteen mining claims known as the Watabeag and Russell Creek properties. To exercise the option and receive the exclusive right to earn a 100% interest in the Watabeag and Russell Creek properties, the Company has issued 250,000 shares of its common stock and must complete $2,000,000 of cumulative exploration and maintenance expenditures on or before the fourth anniversary date of the agreement. Of the $2,000,000 of cumulative exploration and maintenance expenditures, $375,000 must be incurred on or before the second anniversary date of the agreement and $25,000 must be paid to Victoria Gold Corp. on or before December 31, 2011 and on each of the second and third anniversary dates of the agreement.
