Material Changes

The material change is the increase in equity capital and the dilution of existing shareholders resulting from the issuance of 3,750,000 additional shares to Hochschild Mining Holdings Limited. The filing does not provide comparative revenue, profit, or cash flow data for the reporting period versus prior periods.

- Regulatory Compliance: The sale was conducted outside the United States under Regulation S. No directed selling efforts were made in the U.S., and purchasers certified they were not U.S. persons.
- Risk Factors: Forward-looking statements are subject to risks including exploration results, commodity prices, environmental regulations, availability of financing, and force majeure events.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total number of outstanding shares post-transaction to assess dilution impact.

- Review the Subscription Agreement filed on July 6, 2009, for additional covenants or conditions attached to the investment.
