Overview and Plan of Operation
We are a mining company that was formed in
Clavo Rico Mine
On
The Company's primary mine is located on the 200-hectare Clavo Rico Concession,
located in southern
Mining operations begin by crushing extracted material to approximately 3/8-inch
size pebbles, which is then mixed with additional material and loaded on the
recovery pad for processing. The pebble material is sprinkled with a solution
that leaches the gold from the rock, and the solution is collected and processed
on-site at Clavo Rico's own ADR plant. The doré bars that result from this
process are shipped to the
Prior to the expansion, the mine had only been processing approximately less
than 500 tons of extracted material per day. The current recovery operational
increase has been sized to handle from 500 to 750 tons of extracted material per
day on a recovery bed that has the capacity to receive up to 750,000 tons of
material. The Company commenced full operations on
The Company has engaged in preliminary drilling of this area, and the resulting assays of samples indicate that the material should have grades in the range of 0-5 grams of gold per ton.

Cost of sales increased in relation to the increase in revenue for the
three-month period ended
General and administrative expenses decreased because of lower consulting fees and investor relations expenses.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles used in
Costs of acquiring mining properties and any exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred unless proven and probable reserves exist, and the property is a commercially mineable property. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new gold and silver deposits, expand the capacity of operating mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are capitalized. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property, plant and equipment costs, if any, to determine if these costs are in excess of their net realizable value and if a permanent impairment needs to be recorded. The periodic evaluation of carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property, plant and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value.
The Company capitalizes costs for mining properties by individual property and defers such costs for later amortization only if the prospects for economic productions are reasonably certain. Capitalized costs are expensed in the period when the determination has been made that economic production does not appear reasonably certain.
