Purpose and Effect of Increasing the Authorized Shares of Common Stock
 
Background:

The Amendment to increase the authorized capital is being made, in part, to provide the Company with more flexibility and opportunities to conduct equity financings, acquisitions, and to satisfy the reserved but currently unissued requirements of convertible debt, including conversion share reserves in connection with existing financing activities.  The Company does not presently have any plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to issue any of the newly available authorized shares of Class A Common Stock for any purpose, including future acquisitions and/or financings.

Although the Company does not presently have any specific plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, for the immediate issuance of any of the newly available authorized shares of stock for any specific purpose (including future acquisitions and/or financings), this recapitalization is expected to have the following effects which the Company believes will be beneficial:

  
The effect of the reverse stock split results in an increase in the price per share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, making it more attractive within the financial community for use in financing the Company’s planned business activities; and

 
The additional authorized shares of Class A Common Stock are available for possible future financings, possible future acquisition transactions, necessary share reserves, other general corporate purposes, and to meet the requirements to issue additional shares of stock in connection with future convertible debt transactions.  Having the necessary number of shares immediately available increases the Company’s flexibility and ability going forward to make use of the authorized shares for use in funding its business operations and executing its business plans.

The business and financial necessities that have given rise to this corporate action have been primarily the result of difficulties in obtaining financing.  The Company’s business consists of owning a mill in the Silverton, Colorado area, which it hopes to begin operating in the near future, and the contractual right to ownership and operation of three mining properties in that area, many of which the Company believes can be economically operated, to extract gold, silver and other minerals profitably through operation of the mill.

 The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety did not issue a conditional permit for the mill to re-commence operations until August of 2012, and by that time winter weather was setting in, substantially reducing the activities that the Company could undertake to meet the conditions associated with the permit. These conditions were fundamentally capital improvements, generally involving environmental concerns, before the mill could again begin operations.  The Company is making plans and pursuing activities with the goal of beginning operation of the mill (for which it already has commitments to process ore) and mining operations this year before winter weather again sets in, but the perceptions of business risk involving the Company, which are in large part out of the Company’s control, have had a downward effect on the market price of the Class A Common Stock.  As a result, the Company engaged in two reverse splits to maintain the price of the stock and enhance the stock’s standing in the investment community.  In turn, the authorized shares were increased to give the Company flexibility in issuing additional shares to acquire property, progress toward economically viable business operations, and issue shares upon conversion of convertible debt financing.  The requirement to reserve unissued shares, often at a 4-5 times multiple of the estimated number of conversion shares, is a large factor when considering the total number of authorized shares needed.

Although such issuance of additional shares with respect to future financings and acquisitions affect existing shareholders, management believes that transactions involving additional share issuances will increase the total value of the Company to its shareholders.

The Company wishes to emphasize, however, that the reverse splits effective September 12, 2012 and May 13, 2013 and following increases in authorized shares were the result of the necessity of seeking financing under less than ideal circumstances before the Company has been able to begin operation of the Silverton mill and conduct mining operations in that geographical area.  Management of the Company concluded that this was necessary in order to provide the hoped-for opportunity of commencing economically profitable operations.
 
Purpose and Effect:

The Company believes that it is desirable to have additional authorized shares of Class A Common Stock available for possible future financings, possible future acquisition transactions, prudent reserves, and other general corporate purposes.  The Company believes that having such additional authorized shares of capital stock available for issuance in the future should give it greater flexibility and may allow such shares to be issued without the expense and delay of a special shareholders’ meeting or obtaining written consents to amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase authorized capital.  Although such issuance of additional shares with respect to future financings and acquisitions would dilute existing shareholders, management believes that such transactions would increase the total value of the Company to its shareholders.  The increase in authorized Class A Common Stock will not have any immediate effect on the rights of existing shareholders.

The proposed increase in the authorized number of shares of Class A Common Stock could have a number of effects on the Company’s stockholders depending upon the exact nature and circumstances of any actual issuances of authorized but unissued shares.  The increase could have an anti-takeover effect, in that additional shares could be issued (within the limits imposed by applicable law) in one or more transactions that could make a change in control or takeover of the Company more difficult.

Outstanding Securities and Voting Rights

As of May 15, 2013, the Company had authorized: (a) Two (2) million shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.001 par value, 656,224 shares of which were issued and outstanding, and approximately 1,138,278 shares were reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding convertible promissory notes, and (b) 500 million shares of Class B Common Stock, $0.001 par value, 490,371,533 shares of which were issued and outstanding.

Each holder of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Class A Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of Stockholders.  Each holder of Class B Common Stock is entitled to one hundred (100) votes for each share of Class B Common Stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.  Under Nevada law, any action that may be taken at any stockholders’ meeting may be taken by written consent of the requisite number of stockholders required to take such action as if a vote was taken at a meeting at which the holders of 100% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote were present.  The Amendment requires the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the Company’s total voting power.

By written consent dated May 13, 2013, the stockholders owning more than a majority of the total votes available to the outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock and the Class B Common Stock have approved the adoption and implementation of the Amendment.  Such action is sufficient to satisfy the applicable requirements of Nevada law that stockholders approve such actions.  Accordingly, stockholders who did not execute a written consent will not be asked to take further action on the Amendment at any future meeting, and the Board of Directors does not intend to solicit any proxies or consents from any other stockholders in connection with the Amendment.

The NRS provides in substance that unless the Company’s Articles of Incorporation provides otherwise, stockholders may take action without a meeting of stockholders and without prior notice if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present.  The Amendment requires the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Company’s voting power.

Stockholders' Rights

NRS 78.390 provides that every amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation shall first be adopted by the resolution of the Board of Directors and then be subject to the approval of stockholders entitled to vote on any such amendment.  Under NRS 78.390, an affirmative vote by stockholders holding shares entitling them to exercise at least a majority of the voting power is sufficient to amend the Company's Articles of Incorporation.  NRS 78.320 provides that, unless otherwise provided in the Company's Articles of Incorporation or the bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power.  In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting and in order to effect the amendment described herein as early as possible in order to accomplish the purposes as herein described, the Company's Board of Directors voted to utilize, and did in fact obtain, the written consent of the holders of a majority in the interest of the Company's Common Stock.  NRS 78.320 provides that in no instance where action is authorized by written consent need a meeting of stockholders be called or notice given.
