We are a minerals exploration and development company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As of September 30, 2007, we hold interests in mineral exploration projects in Colorado (Bates-Hunter Mine), Mexico (Vianey) and South Africa (FSC). The following is a summary of our current projects:

On September 20, 2006, we executed a formal asset purchase agreement relating to the purchase of assets of the Hunter Gold Mining Corporation, a corporation incorporated under the laws of British Columbia, Canada, which assets includes the Bates-Hunter Mine in Central City, Colorado, the Golden Gilpin Mill located in Black Hawk, Colorado and the associated real and personal property assets. On March 1, 2007, we executed an amendment to the asset purchase agreement, whereby the Golden Gilpin Mill and adjacent real property were removed from the transaction. On May 31, 2007, we executed a further amendment to the asset purchase agreement, whereby the closing of the transaction contemplated by the asset purchase agreement has been extended to March 31, 2008, or sooner should we complete our due diligence. The Bates-Hunter Mine was a prior producing gold mine from the 1860's until the 1930's. We are continuing with a defined work program, which includes dewatering the existing mine shaft and performing a surface drilling program.
