  1.

To ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm;

  2.

To elect James Briscoe, Gary Musil, John Guilbert, Keith Brill, Peter O’Heeron and Brett Gross as directors;

  6.

What do I need to do now?

We urge you to carefully read and consider the information contained in this proxy statement. We request that you cast your vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. You are invited to attend the Meeting, but you do not need to attend the Meeting in person to vote your shares of our common stock. Even if you do not plan to attend the Meeting, please vote by proxy by following instructions provided in the proxy card.


2

Who can vote at the Meeting?

Our board of directors has fixed the close of business on June 9, 2015 as the record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting or any adjournment. If you were a stockholder of record on the record date, you are entitled to vote at the Meeting.

As of the record date, 1,161,749,602 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding and, therefore, a total of 1,161,749,602 votes are entitled to be cast at the Meeting.

How many votes do I have?

On each proposal to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of our common stock that you owned on the record date. There is no cumulative voting.

How do I vote my shares?

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Meeting or by proxy.

  • To vote in person, come to the Meeting, and we will give you a ballot when you arrive.
  • If you do not wish to vote in person or if you will not be attending the Meeting, you may vote by proxy by following instructions provided in the proxy card.

If you hold your shares of our common stock in “street name” and:

  • you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank, or other nominee that holds your shares of our common stock giving you the right to vote the shares of our common stock at the Meeting.
  • you do not wish to vote in person or you will not be attending the Meeting, you must vote your shares of our common stock in the manner prescribed by your broker, bank or other nominee. Your broker, bank or other nominee should have enclosed or otherwise provided a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker, bank or nominee how to vote your shares of our common stock.

What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a “street name” holder?

If your shares of our common stock are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Nevada Agency and Transfer Company, then you are a stockholder of record with respect to those shares.

If your shares of our common stock are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, or other nominee, then the broker, bank, or other nominee is the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. However, you still are the beneficial owner of those shares, and your shares are said to be held in “street name”. Street name holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and must instead instruct the broker, bank, or other nominee how to vote their shares. Street name holders are also invited to attend the Meeting.


3

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

If you receive more than one proxy card, it means that you hold shares of our common stock registered in more than one name or in different accounts. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, please vote by proxy by following instructions provided in each proxy card. If some of your shares are held in “street name”, you should have received voting instruction with these materials from your broker, bank or other nominee. Please follow the voting instruction provided to ensure that your vote is counted.

What vote is required for the election of directors or for the approval of a proposal?

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting will be sufficient to elect directors. This means that each nominee who receives more “For” votes than the combined votes of “Against” votes and votes that are abstained will be elected as a director. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors.

The proposal for approval of amendment of our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock requires the affirmative vote from the stockholders holding shares in our company entitling them to exercise at least a majority of the voting power. This means that the proposal must receive “For” votes from the holders of at least 580,874,802 shares of our common stock.

The non-binding advisory vote on the frequency with which we will conduct a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers will be determined by a plurality of the votes of the shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the annual and special meeting and entitled to vote, which means that the option receiving the highest number of votes will be determined to be the preferred frequency.

All other proposals require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. Therefore, for the other proposals to be approved, each proposal must receive more “For” votes than the combined votes of “Against” votes and votes that are abstained.

How are votes counted?

For the election of directors, you may vote “For”, “Against”, or “Abstain” for each nominee for the directors. Votes that are abstained will be counted towards the vote total for the election of directors and thus will have the same effect as “Against” votes. Broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted towards the vote total for the election of directors and thus have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the election of directors.

For the approval of amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock, you may vote “For”, “Against”, or “Abstain” for the proposal. Votes that are abstained and broker non-votes will have the same effect as “Against” votes.

For the non-binding advisory vote on the frequency with which we will conduct a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, you may vote “One Year”, “Two Years”, “Three Years”, or “Abstain”. Votes that are abstained and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this non-binding advisory vote on the frequency.

For all other proposals, you may vote “For”, “Against”, or “Abstain” for each proposal. Votes that are abstained will be counted towards the vote total for the proposal and thus have the same effect as “Against” votes. Broker non-votes, if any, will not be counted towards the vote total for the proposals and thus have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the proposals.


4

A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker, bank, or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner in street name does not vote on a particular proposal because it does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that proposal and has not received instructions with respect to that proposal from the beneficial owner of those shares, despite voting on at least one other proposal for which it does have discretionary authority or for which it has received instructions.

What happens if I do not make specific voting choices?

If you are a stockholder of record and you submit your proxy without specifying how you want to vote your shares of our common stock, then the proxy holder will vote your shares in the manner recommended by our board of directors.

If you hold your shares in the street name and you do not give instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares, under the rules that govern brokers, banks, and other nominees who are the stockholders of record of the shares held in street name, it generally has the discretion to vote uninstructed shares on routine matters but have no discretion to vote them on non-routine matters.

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary for the transaction of business at the Meeting. Stockholders holding at least 10% of the shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum at the Meeting. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum requirement only if you or the registered holder of your shares, properly vote by proxy or are present in person at the Meeting. Votes that are abstained and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, the stockholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will have power to adjourn the meeting without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented.

How does the board of directors recommend that I vote?

Our board of directors recommends that you vote your shares:

  • “For” the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm;
  • “For” the election of all nominees for directors;
  • “For” the approval of amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock;
  • “For” the approval of the compensation of our named executive officer; and
  • “For” a frequency of every three years regarding how frequently we should seek an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the final vote at the Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by proxy again on a later date, or by attending the Meeting and voting in person. Your attendance at the Meeting will not automatically revoke your proxy unless you vote again at the Meeting or specifically request in writing that your prior proxy be revoked. You may also request that your prior proxy be revoked by delivering us, at 5610 E. Sutler Lane, Tucson, Arizona 85712, Attention: President, a written notice of revocation prior to the Meeting.

If you hold your shares in the street name, you will need to follow the voting instruction provided by your broker, bank or other nominee regarding how to revoke or change your vote.

How can I attend the Meeting?

You may call us at 520.425.1433 if you want to obtain information or directions to be able to attend the Meeting and vote in person.


5

You may be asked to present valid picture identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, before being admitted to the Meeting. If you hold your shares in street name, you also will need proof of ownership to be admitted to the Meeting. A recent brokerage statement or letter from your broker, bank or other nominee is an example of proof of ownership.

Who pays for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation?

We pay for the cost of proxy preparation and solicitation, including the reasonable charges and expenses of brokers, banks or other nominees for forwarding proxy materials to street name holders.

We are soliciting proxies primarily by mail. In addition, our directors, officers and regular employees may solicit proxies by telephone, facsimile, mail, other means of communication or personally. These individuals will receive no additional compensation for such services. In addition, we may engage a proxy solicitor to solicit proxies on our behalf by telephone and by other means. We expect the cost of our private proxy solicitor to be approximately $7,500 to $15,500.

We will ask brokers, banks, and other nominees to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. We will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

Mr. Gross is a mining engineer (BS, Ohio State University, 1982; MS, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, 1988; PE, Colorado and Alabama) and attorney (JD, University of Denver, 2001) with over 30 years of experience, both domestic and international. His work experience includes surface and underground mining operations, engineering, and delivery of construction mega-projects across multiple industrial and commercial markets, and the practice of law related to each of these sectors. Mr. Gross brings a combination of professional skills that benefits every aspect of our business. Mr. Gross’ engineering career began at Virginia Tech, with research focused on rock mechanics and the stability of underground openings, particularly the phenomenon of “coal bumps” and “rock bursts,” and studying methods to monitor stress changes in the longwall barrier pillar during the onset of the active longwall face. The ensuing years of his career have been intimately involved with a broad spectrum of engineering, operations, management and project delivery. Since 2002, Mr. Gross has practiced law both in private practice and as in-house counsel, negotiating and closing complex deals with what today is among the largest engineering and construction firms in the United States.

We believe Mr. Gross is qualified to serve on our board of directors because of his education and business as described above.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our officer and directors.

Director Independence

We currently act with six directors consisting of James Briscoe, Gary Musil, John Guilbert, Keith Brill, Peter O’Heeron and Brett Gross. Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB operated by the OTC Markets Group, which does not impose any director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ rule 5605(a)(2), a director is not independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation or was, at any time during the past three years, employed by the corporation. Using this definition of independent director, we have five independent directors consisting of Gary Musil, John Guilbert, Keith Brill, Peter O’Heeron and Brett Gross.

Board Leadership Structure

The positions of our principal executive officer and the chairman of our board of directors are served by one individual, James Briscoe. We have determined that the leadership structure of our board of directors is appropriate, especially given the early stage of our development and the size of our company. Our board of directors provides oversight of our risk exposure by receiving periodic reports from senior management regarding matters relating to financial, operational, legal and strategic risks and mitigation strategies for such risks.

Board and Committee Meetings

The board of directors of our company held three formal meetings during the year ended January 31, 2015 and two formal meetings during the year ended January 31, 2014. All proceedings of the board of directors were conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada corporate law and the By-laws of our company, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.


11

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors during the year ended January 31, 2015. Stockholders may contact our President, James Briscoe, to recommend nominees to our board of directors.

For the year ended January 31, 2015 our only standing committee of the board of directors was our audit committee. We do not have a nominating committee or a compensation committee.

Audit Committee

Currently our audit committee consists of our entire board of directors. We do not have a separately-designated standing audit committee established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

During fiscal years ended January 31, 2015 and January 31, 2014, there were no special meetings held by this committee. The business of the Audit Committee was conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the members of the board and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the board of directors.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its board of directors or audit committee that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

We believe that the members of our board of directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our consolidated financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date.

Audit Committee Report

Our audit committee oversees our financial reporting process. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, our audit committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2015, with management including a discussion of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

Our audit committee reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, its judgments as to our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with our audit committee under auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), including those described in Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, “Communication with Audit Committees,” and discussed and reviewed results of the independent registered public accounting firm’s examination of the financial statements. In addition, our audit committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from management and our company, including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees.” Our audit committee also considered whether the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, our audit committee recommended to our board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We know of no material proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder is a party adverse to our company or any of our subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to our company or any of our subsidiaries.

Our directors and executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

  6.

being the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

Transactions with Related Persons

There has been no transaction, since February 1, 2013, or currently proposed transaction, in which our company was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any of the following persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest:

  (a)

Any director or executive officer of our company;



13

  (b)

Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of any class of our voting securities; and

     
  (c)

Any member of the immediate family (including spouse, parents, children, siblings and in- laws) of any of the foregoing persons.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during the year ended January 31, 2015, all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners were complied with.

Code of Ethics

Effective March 15, 2004, our company's board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our company's president and secretary (being our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

1.

honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

   
2.

full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;

   
3.

compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

   
4.

the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and

   
5.

accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company's Senior Officers commit to timely, accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.

In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly senior officers, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal and state securities laws. Any senior officer who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to our company. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2004 as Exhibit 14.1 to our annual report on Form 10-K. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp., 5610 E Sutler Lane, Tucson, Arizona 85712.

Directors are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors. Our board of directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other than services ordinarily required of a director. No director received and/or accrued any compensation for their services as a director, including committee participation and/or special assignments.

Warrants were granted to a director during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015. There was no other compensation paid or accruing to any director, unless such director is also a named executive officer, during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015.

Proposal No. 3 – Approval of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation to Increase the Number of Authorized
Shares of Our Common Stock from 1,250,000,000 to 6,250,000,000.

Our board of directors is asking our stockholders to approve amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 1,250,000,000 to 6,250,000,000 (the “Amendment”). On June 5, 2015, our board of directors proposed the amendment of our articles of incorporation to amend Article IV – Shares of Common Stock of our articles of incorporation to state substantially as follows:

Section 4.01 Number and Class. The Corporation shall authorize the issuance of a single class of Capital Stock in the amount of 6,250,000,000 shares of Common Stock, at $0.00001 par value.

Our articles of incorporation currently provide for authorized capital stock consisting of 1,250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. As of June 9, 2015, we had 1,161,749,602 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding. As of June 9, 2015 we have options and warrants outstanding to acquire shares of our common stock.

Our board of directors believes that it is necessary and prudent to amend our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 1,250,000,000 shares of common stock to 6,250,000,000 shares of common stock to allow us to issue additional shares of our common stock for the purposes described below, and for any other lawful purpose.

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the Amendment.

Purpose and Effect of Increase in the Number of Authorized Shares of Our Common Stock

The primary reason for the increase to the authorized capital is due to the fact that our authorized shares of common stock are presently limited to 1,250,000,000 shares of common stock and we have 1,161,749,602 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, 85,421,374 options and 59,566,708 warrants to acquire shares of our common stock outstanding. Accordingly, without the increase to our authorized capital we are unable to issue any shares of common stock that have not already been allocated. The increased reserve of shares available for issuance would give us the flexibility of using our common stock for corporate purposes such as acquisitions of companies or assets, sales of stock or securities convertible into our common stock and raising additional capital. We believe that the availability of the additional shares will provide us with the flexibility to meet business needs as they arise, to take advantage of favorable opportunities and to respond to a changing corporate environment.

The increased reserve of shares available for issuance would give us the flexibility of using our common stock to raise capital and/or as consideration in acquiring other businesses. We are continuously seeking opportunities to acquire more mineral properties or other mineral properties related businesses. Such acquisitions may be effected using shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into our common stock and/or by using capital that may need to be raised by selling such securities. The current number of available authorized shares of our common stock could limit our ability to effect acquisitions of businesses using shares of our common stock or issuing shares to raise capital to fund such acquisitions or for other purposes.

The increased reserve of shares available for issuance may also be used to facilitate public or private financings. If sufficient operating funds cannot be generated by operations, we may need to, among other things, issue and sell our common stock, or securities convertible into our common stock. Except under the investment agreement with Tangiers Investment Group, LLC, pursuant to which Tangiers Investment Group, LLC committed to purchase up to $8,000,000 of our common stock over a period of up to 36 months, we have no plans or agreements in place for any financing at this time. Such transactions might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. We may sell our common stock at prices less than the public trading price of our common stock at the time, and we may grant additional contractual rights to purchase not available to other holders of our common stock, such as warrants to purchase additional shares of our common stock or anti-dilution protections.


17

On December 15, 2014, we entered into an investment agreement with Tangiers Investment Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tangiers”). Pursuant to the terms of the investment agreement, Tangiers committed to purchase up to $8,000,000 of our common stock over a period of up to 36 months. From time to time during the 36 months period commencing from the effectiveness of the registration statement, we may deliver a put notice to Tangiers which states the dollar amount that we intend to sell to Tangiers on a date specified in the put notice. The maximum investment amount per notice must be no more than 150% of the average daily trading dollar volume of our common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately prior to date of the applicable put notice and such amount must not exceed an accumulative amount per month of $100,000. The minimum put amount is $5,000. The purchase price per share to be paid by Tangiers will be the 80% of the lowest day of the daily volume weighed average price of our common stock during the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the receipt by Tangiers of the put notice, provided, however, an additional 5% will be added to the discount of each put if (i) we are not DWAC eligible and (ii) an additional 5% will be added to the discount of each put if we are under DTC “chill” status on the applicable date of the put notice.

Tangiers has agreed to refrain from holding an amount of shares which would result in Tangiers owning more than 4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of our common stock at any one time.

In connection with the investment agreement with Tangiers, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with Tangiers, pursuant to which we agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement. Furthermore, upon the effectiveness of such registration statement, we agreed to keep such registration statement effective until the earlier to occur of the date on which (i) Tangiers will have sold all the shares of our common stock actually issued or that we have an obligation to issue under the investment agreement; (ii) Tangiers has no right to acquire any additional shares of our common stock under the investment agreement; or (iii) Tangiers may sell the shares underlying the investment agreement without volume limitation under Rule 144.

At an assumed purchase price of $0.01 we will be able to receive up to $1,000,000 in gross proceeds, assuming the sale of the 100,000,000 shares of our common stock pursuant to the investment agreement with Tangiers, being the number of shares that we agreed to register for resale initially. If we want to obtain the balance of $7,000,000 under the investment agreement, we would be required to register additional 700,000,000 shares with the above assumed purchase price of $0.01.

We are currently authorized to issue 1,250,000,000 shares of our common stock. Our board of directors believes that the additional available authorized shares of our common stock that would result from the Amendment may allow us to receive the entire purchase price or additional portion of the entire purchase price.

There are substantial risks to investors as a result of the issuance of shares of our common stock under the investment agreement with Tangiers. These risks include dilution of stockholders’ percentage ownership, significant decline in our stock price and our inability to draw sufficient funds when needed.

There are also advantages which include the ability to drawdown funds at the company’s option and avoid other more expensive means of funding.

We intend to sell Tangiers periodically our common stock under the investment agreement and Tangiers will, in turn, sell such shares to investors in the market at the market price. This may cause our stock price to decline, which will require us to issue increasing numbers of common shares to Tangiers to raise the same amount of funds, as our stock price declines.

However the company will have control regarding when to sell stock to Tangiers under this investment equity line.

In addition, the increased reserve of shares available for issuance may be used for our equity incentive plans for grants to our directors, officers, employees and consultants and those of our subsidiary. Our board of directors believes that it is critical to incentivize our directors, officers, employees, and consultants and those of our subsidiary, to increase our revenues and profitability, if any, and as a result, our market value, through equity incentive awards. Such equity incentive plans may also be used to attract and retain employees or in connection with potential acquisitions if we grant options to the employees of the acquired companies. Our board of directors believes that our ability to achieve our growth strategy may be impaired without additional authorized shares of our common stock that could be used to provide such equity incentives.


18

The flexibility of our board of directors to issue additional shares of our common stock could also enhance our ability to negotiate on behalf of our stockholders in a takeover situation. The authorized but unissued shares of our common stock could be used by our board of directors to discourage, delay or make more difficult a change in the control of our company. For example, such shares could be privately placed with purchasers who might align themselves with our board of directors in opposing a hostile takeover bid. The issuance of additional shares could serve to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control and thereby increase the cost of acquiring a given percentage of the outstanding stock. Stockholders should therefore be aware that approval of the Amendment could facilitate future efforts by our board of directors to deter or prevent changes in control of our company, including transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices. The Amendment, however, is not being proposed in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate shares of our common stock or to obtain control of us.

The availability of additional shares of our common stock is particularly important in the event that our board of directors needs to undertake any of the foregoing actions on an expedited basis and therefore needs to avoid the time (and expense) of seeking stockholder approval in connection with the contemplated action. If the Amendment is approved by our stockholders and the Amendment is effected, our board of directors does not intend to solicit further stockholder approval prior to the issuance of any additional shares of our common stock, except as may be required by applicable laws or rules.

The possible future issuance of shares of equity securities consisting of our common stock or securities convertible into our common stock could affect our current stockholders in a number of ways, including the following:

  • diluting the voting power of the current holders of our common stock;

  • diluting the market price of our common stock, to the extent that the shares of our common stock are issued and sold at prices below current trading prices of our common stock, or if the issuance consists of equity securities convertible into our common stock, to the extent that the securities provide for the conversion into our common stock at prices that could be below current trading prices of our common stock;

  • diluting the earnings per share and book value per share of the outstanding shares of our common stock; and

  • making the payment of dividends on our common stock potentially more expensive.

Except under the investment agreement with Tangiers Investment Group, LLC, we have no plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, at this time, to issue any of the additional available authorized shares of our common stock that would result from the Amendment.

Effective Date of the Amendment

If the proposal for the Amendment is approved by our stockholders, we have to file the certificate of amendment for the Amendment with the Nevada Secretary of State in order for the Amendment to become effective. If we obtain stockholder approval of the Amendment, we intend to file the certificate of amendment for the Amendment as soon as practicable.

Our board of directors reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Amendment and without further action by our stockholders, not to proceed with the Amendment at any time before the effective date of the Amendment of our articles of incorporation.

Proposal 4
Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

Pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are required to provide our stockholders with a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers.

We urge you to read the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement. This advisory vote, commonly known as “Say-on-Pay,” gives you as a stockholder the opportunity to endorse or not endorse the compensation of our named executive officer.

Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on our board of directors. However, our board of directors will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering future executive compensation arrangements.

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the approval of compensation of our named executive officer, as disclosed in the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement.

Proposal 5
Advisory Vote on Frequency of Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

In addition to providing you with a non-binding advisory vote on compensation of our named executive officer, we are also presenting the following proposal, which gives you as a stockholder the opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote on how frequently we should seek an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. This non-binding advisory vote is commonly referred to as a “say on frequency” vote. Under this proposal, our stockholders may cast a non-binding advisory vote on whether they would prefer to have a vote on the compensation of our named executive officers every year, every two years or every three years.

Our board of directors believes that the non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers should be conducted every three years and we are asking our stockholders to vote for a frequency of “three years.” The option that receives the most votes cast at the annual and special meeting will be considered by our board of directors in determining the preferred frequency with which we will hold a stockholder vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. However, our board of directors will consider the option that receives the most votes in determining the frequency of future votes on compensation of our named executive officers.

Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote FOR the option of a vote every three years on the compensation of our named executive officers.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

No director, executive officer, or nominee for election as a director of our company and no associate of any of the foregoing persons has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holding or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting other than the election of directors.

“HOUSEHOLDING” OF PROXY MATERIALS

The Securities and Exchange Commission permits companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements or annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single copy of the proxy statement or annual report, as applicable, addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding”, potentially provides extra conveniences for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

Although we do not intend to household for our stockholders of record, some brokers household our proxy materials and annual reports, delivering a single copy of proxy statement or annual report to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate copy of proxy statement or annual report, or if you are receiving multiple copies of either document and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement or annual report at their address from their brokers and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their brokers.
