Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.


On July 31, 2014, Goldspan Resources Inc. ( “Goldspan”, “we”, “our” or the “Company”) entered into a Asset Purchase Agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement”) with SJE Mining LLC, a Nevada entity, (“SJE” or “SJE Mining” whereby the Company issued to SJE a total of 200 million shares of Goldspan $0.001 par value common stock in consideration for the acquisition of mining claims located in Washoe County, Nevada (the “Pyramid Claims”) and mining claims located in Churchill County, Nevada (the (“Trinity Claims”). The Pyramid Claims and Trinity Claims are together known as the “Mining Claims”.


The 200 million restricted shares of Goldspan common stock issued to SJE at closing represent approximately 71% of the post-closing issued and outstanding shares of Goldspan common stock.

As a result of the transactions effected by the Purchase Agreement, at closing Goldspan’s sole business activity will be the exploration of the Mining Claims. SJE is a development stage company with limited operations to date. Its sole business to date has been the acquisition of the Mining Claims.


The Purchase Agreement also provided for, among other things, (i) the appointment and resignation of certain directors and executive officers at closing, which disclosure is found below under “Item 5.01” of this current report. In addition, the Company will undertake a 1:25 reverse stock split.


FORM 10 DISCLOSURE


Immediately prior to the transaction described above, we were deemed a shell company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Item 2.01(f) of Form 8-K provides that under these circumstances, a registrant must include with its disclosure the information that would be required if the registrant were filing a general form for registration of securities on Form 10 under the Exchange Act. Accordingly, we are providing below the information that would normally be included with a Form 10. Please note that the information provided below relates to the acquisition of the Mining Claims by Goldspan, except that information regarding periods prior to the date of the acquisition only relates to the pre-exchange corporation unless otherwise specifically indicated.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


Corporate History and Background


We were incorporated on March 2, 2007, under the laws of the state of Nevada. Our current business plan is focused on the acquisition and development of certain mineral properties located in Alaska.

 

On April 5, 2012, we entered into a non-binding letter of intent with Alix Resources Corp. (“Alix”) for the potential purchase of an option to acquire a 60% ownership interest in certain mineral properties known as the “Golden Zone Property” located in the State of Alaska (the “Property”). The Property is located along the south flank of the Alaska Range 15 miles west of the Parks Highway, approximately halfway between the cities of Anchorage and Fairbanks. Alix has the existing option on the Property (the “Underlying Option”) which was entered into in September of 2010 with Hidefield Gold Inc. and Mines Trust Company (collectively the "Owners") whereby Alix can earn up to a 70% interest in the Property.

 

The letter of intent contemplated the sale of an option to us which, when exercised in conjunction with the Underlying Option held by Alix, would result in our ownership of 60% of the Property, with Alix retaining 10% ownership. We were not able to meet the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

On March 4, 2013, we entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Equipment & Trucks Inc. (“ETI”) a privately held heavy equipment sales and rental company located in Loveland, Colorado, for the option to purchase an 80% ownership interest in ETI. We could not meet the terms and conditions of the LOI and it was terminated without liability to either party.


With the termination of the ETI Letter of Intent, and with limited cash we terminated our operations. Our primary goal was to seek investment opportunities in the mining sector where the acquired entity or its shareholders sought the advantages of a fully reporting publicly traded Company.


In furtherance of this objective, the Company entered in an Asset Purchase Agreement with SJE Mining LLC (“SJE”) which provides in part for us to acquire SJE’s mining claims and mineral leases in Nevada. With the acquisition of SJE’s assets Goldspan has reentered the mining sector.


The Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) provides in part that Goldspan will acquire SJE’s mining claims and mineral rights in consideration for the issuance of 200 million shares of Goldspan common stock. In addition, we assumed $150,000 of SJE’s liabilities represented by three promissory notes totaling $150,000. Upon repayment of all three promissory notes, each of the Note Holders will be issued 87,500 shares of the Company’s common stock.

The Agreement provides that following Closing, the following individuals shall serve as members of the Company’s Board of Directors: Steven Jones, Keith Simon, Trevor Moss, Thomas Mancuso, Iain Stewart and Phillip Allen.


The Agreement further provides that following individuals shall serve as the Company’s officers:


Phil Allen - President

Keith Simon - Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary

Steven Jones - Vice President of Exploration


Also in connection with the Agreement, holders of $110,000 of Goldspan’s outstanding debt have released any and all claims due and owing by Goldspan such debt holders in consideration for the issuance to the debt holders of 255,440 shares of such Series B preferred stock. Holders of the Series B preferred shares are entitled to 100 votes per share of such preferred stock on any matters brought to a vote of the shareholders. In addition, Goldspan, shall have the right to redeem the Series B Preferred Shares, (or prorate, at the resulting per preferred share redemption price) for the sum of $150,000 for a period of 120 days following the Closing Date (July 31, 2014).


Further, the Agreement provides that the Company will undertake a 1:25 reverse split of its common stock and undertake an equity offering of its securities of up to $4 million.


The foregoing represents a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Agreement. You are urged to review the Agreement in its entirety a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

SEC Industry Guide 7 Definitions


exploration stage

An “exploration stage” prospect is one which is not in either the development or production stage.

development stage

A “development stage” project is one which is undergoing preparation of an established Commercially mineable deposit for its extraction but which is not yet in production. This stage occurs after completion of a feasibility study.

mineralized material

The term “mineralized material” refers to material that is not included in the reserve as it does not meet all of the criteria for adequate demonstration for economic or legal extraction.

probable reserve

The term “probable reserve” or “indicated reserve”)refers to reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven (measured) reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.

production stage

A “production stage” project is actively engaged in the process of extraction and beneficiation of mineral reserves to produce a marketable metal or mineral product.

proven reserve

The term “proven reserve” or “measured reserve” refers to reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well-established.

reserve

The term “reserve” refers to that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. Reserves must be supported by a feasibility study done to bankable standards that demonstrates the economic extraction. (“Bankable standards” implies that the confidence attached to the costs and achievements developed in the study is sufficient for the project to be eligible for external debt financing.) A reserve includes adjustments to the in-situ tons and grade to include diluting materials and allowances for losses that might occur when the material is mined.

OUR PROPERTIES


WEST TRINITY PROPERTY


Summary


The West Trinity Property is an early stage exploration state type property that is located in Churchill County, Nevada. West Trinity is situated in Sections 17 and 18, Township 24 North, Range 27 East, Mount Diablo Base and Meridian and is 58 miles northeast of Reno, Nevada. Access to the Property is excellent and is gained by driving northeast on Interstate 80 for 45 miles from Reno to the Brady Hot Springs exit and then driving 10 miles north on a County maintained gravel road. From this point access is gained by driving east on a gravel road for 3 miles to the edge of the West Trinity claims. This gravel road connects to a series of trails and dirt roads that access the Property to the south.


The West Trinity Property consists of 24 unpatented lode claims of 20 acres each that are situated on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) controlled land. The WT-1 claim is held under lease from geologist Steven K. Jones and WT-2 through WT-24 claims are owned by SJE Mining LLC. All the WT claims are contiguous. The lease for the Jones WT-1 claim is dated April 16, 2014 and is for an initial term of ten years that can be extended indefinitely as long a significant exploration, development or production is conducted on the claims. SJE is required to make advance royalty payments to Mr. Jones in order to maintain the lease with payments escalating from $5,000 to $25,000 over five years and then maintained at $25,000 until perpetuity. Mr. Jones also retains a 1.5% NSR production royalty from future metals production. SJE is required to pay annual claim rentals for all 24 claims to the BLM in the amount of $155 per claim per year in order to maintain the mineral rights with the Federal Government. SJE is also required to pay an annual fee of $10.50 per claim per year to Washoe County to maintain the mineral rights with the State of Nevada.

 

Although the West Trinity Property has had past exploration as evidenced by historic workings that consist of short shafts and prospect pits, there has not been any recorded production from the WT-1 through -24 claim area. The Property does not have any known recorded drilling or drilling activities and there is no surface indication or BLM records that any such activity has ever been planned.


The West Trinity Property is without known reserves and the proposed program is exploratory in nature. It is proposed to conduct surface rock and soil sampling to confirm and extend known surface geochemical gold-silver anomalies and to map all significant and related alteration and mineralization features associated with the gold-silver anomalies. A reverse circulation drill program will then be designed, and permitted and bonded with the BLM to carry out drilling activities with the express purpose of discovering mineral resources and reserves. The surface sampling and drilling programs will be under the supervision of Steven K. Jones, a geologist with more than 36 years of relevant exploration experience and a Certified Professional Geologist with registration number CPG-10820 with the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG).


The West Trinity Property is classified as an intrusive-related gold-silver-copper property associated with a granodiorite intrusive system. The known mineralized veins and fracture systems are hosted in Triassic-age intermediate volcanics that have been intruded by a probable Cretaceous-age granodiorite. Existing public domain surface sampling has indicated the presence of gold and silver in economic concentrations of 0.07 ounce per ton gold and 1.46 ounce per ton silver and 1.0% copper.

THE PYRAMID PROPERTY


Summary



The Pyramid Property is an early stage exploration state type property that is located in Washoe County, Nevada within the historic Pyramid Mining District. Pyramid is situated in Section 16, Township 23 North, Range 21 East, Mount Diablo Base and Meridian and is 23 miles north of Reno, Nevada situated along the south side of Nevada State Route 445. Access to the Property is excellent and is gained by driving north on State Route 445 for 23 miles from Reno to the intersection with an unmaintained, year-round accessed gravel road. This gravel road connects to a series of trails and dirt roads that access the Property on its north, east, and west sides.


The Pyramid Property consists of ten unpatented lode claims of 20 acres each that are situated on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) controlled land. The Pyramid-1 through Pyramid-3 claims are held under lease from geologist Steven K. Jones and Pyramid-4 through Pyramid-10 claims are owned by SJE Mining LLC. All the Pyramid claims are contiguous. The lease for the Jones Pyramid claims is dated April 14, 2014 and is for an initial term of ten years that can be extended indefinitely as long a significant exploration, development or production is conducted on the claims. SJE is required to make advance royalty payments to Mr. Jones in order to maintain the lease with payments escalating from $5,000 to $25,000 over five years and then maintained at $25,000 until perpetuity. Mr. Jones also retains a 1.5% NSR production royalty from future metals production. SJE is required to pay annual claim rentals for all claims to the BLM in the amount of $155 per claim per year in order to maintain the mineral rights with the Federal Government. SJE is also required to pay an annual fee of $10.50 per claim per year to Washoe County to maintain the mineral rights with the State of Nevada.


Although the Pyramid Property has had past exploration as evidenced by historic workings that consist of short shafts and prospect pits, there has not been any recorded production from the Pyramid-1 through -10 claim area. The Property does not have any known recorded drilling or drilling activities and there is no surface indication or BLM records that any such activity has ever been planned.


The Pyramid Property is without known reserves and the proposed program is exploratory in nature. It is proposed to conduct surface rock and soil sampling to confirm and extend known surface geochemical gold-silver anomalies and to map all significant and related alteration and mineralization features associated with the gold-silver anomalies. A reverse circulation drill program will then be designed, and permitted and bonded with the BLM to carry out drilling activities with the express purpose of discovering mineral resources and reserves. The surface sampling and drilling programs will be under the supervision of Steven K. Jones, a geologist with more than 36 years of relevant exploration experience and a Certified Professional Geologist with registration number CPG-10820 with the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG).


The Pyramid Property is classified as a distal epithermal gold-silver property associated with a porphyry copper-molybdenum intrusive system. The known mineralized veins and fracture systems are hosted in Miocene-age Hartford Hill rhyolite tuffs. Existing public domain surface sampling has indicated the presence of gold and silver in economic concentrations of 0.03 ounce per ton gold and 1.0 ounce per ton silver.

RISK FACTORS


THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WE FACE. ADDITIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES NOT PRESENTLY KNOWN OR THAT WE CURRENTLY DEEM IMMATERIAL MAY ALSO IMPAIR OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED. IN SUCH CASE, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROCEED WITH OUR PLANNED OPERATIONS AND YOUR INVESTMENT MAY BE LOST ENTIRELY.


Item 1A. Risk Factors


It is possible investors may lose their entire investment in Goldspan.

Prospective investors should be aware that if we are not successful in our endeavors, your entire investment in the Company could become worthless. Even if we are successful, in identifying mineral reserves that can be commercially developed, there can be no assurances that we will generate any revenues and our losses will continue.

SJE’s auditors have raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.


As of June 30, 2014 SJE had accumulated losses since inception of $31,085. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations on a timely basis.


We are an exploration stage company and our business plan is unproven. We have generated no revenues from our operations and incurred operating losses since our inception.


We are an exploration stage company, our business plan is unproven, and we cannot assure you that we will ever achieve profitability or, if we achieve profitability, that it will be sustainable. We are subject to all of the risks inherent in a new business. We have not generated any revenues to date. At June 30, 2014, we had current assets of $69,282 and total assets of $81,263. We had current liabilities totaling $111,548 and a capital deficit of $42,266. We will require additional financing to become fully operational. We currently have no commitment for additional funding. There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional funding, or if available, available on terms acceptable to us.


We have limited capital and will need to raise additional capital in the future.

 

We do not currently have sufficient capital to fund both our continuing operations and our planned growth. We may be unable to obtain additional capital when required. Future business development activities, as well as our administrative requirements (such as salaries, insurance expenses and general overhead expenses, as well as legal compliance costs and accounting expenses) will require a substantial amount of additional capital and cash flow.

 

We may pursue sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements, including joint venturing of projects, debt financing, equity financing or other means. We may not be successful in identifying suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means. If we do not succeed in raising additional capital, our resources may not be sufficient to fund our planned operations.

 

Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity may dilute the ownership percentage of our stockholders. Raising any such capital could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities because our assets would be owned by a larger pool of outstanding equity. The terms of securities we issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable to our new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of other derivative securities, and issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have a further dilutive effect.

 

Our ability to obtain financing, if and when necessary, may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets (both generally and in our industry in particular), our limited operating history, national unemployment rates and the departure of key employees. Further, economic downturns will likely decrease our revenues may increase our requirements for capital. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs (even to the extent that we reduce our operations), we may be required to cease our operations, divest our assets at unattractive prices or obtain financing on unattractive terms.




-14-



We do not insure against all risks.


During our operations unexpected events may occur, including labor unrest, changes in government regulations, fires, floods, or earthquakes. It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and we may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or for other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they may impede our exploration activities, raise costs and otherwise reduce the commercial viability of the Property.


Our leasehold interests in the Properties required annual payments to SJE.


We are required to make annual payments pursuant to our leasehold obligations. We currently have no revenues and it is unlikely that we will generate revenues prior to the first required anniversary payment If we default on these obligations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain our leasehold obligations.


We may default in several of our debt obligations.


Three promissory notes totaling $150,000 plus interest are due October 1, 2014. The notes are secured by our mining claims. Unless we secure sufficient financing to satisfy these obligations, we will be in default and we may lose our mining claims to the creditors. While the Company intends to undertake an offering of its equity securities, there can be no assurance that this undertaking will be successful to satisfy these obligations.


We may not identify either proven or probable reserves and our estimates may be inaccurate.


There is no certainty that any expenditures made in our exploration program will result in discoveries of commercially recoverable quantities of gold, silver or any base metal. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially extractable deposits of gold or silver and no assurance can be given that any particular level of recovery will in fact be realized or that any identified leasehold interest will ever qualify as a commercially developed. Estimates of mineralization, reserves, deposits and production costs can also be affected by such factors as environmental regulations and requirements, weather, environmental factors, unforeseen technical difficulties, unusual or unexpected geological formations and work interruptions. Material changes in estimated reserves, exploration and mining costs may affect the economic viability of any project.


We will be required to locate mineral reserves for our long-term success.


Mines have limited lives based on proven and probable mineral reserves that are depleted in the course of production. To ensure continued viability we must offset depleted reserves by replacing and expanding our mineral reserves, through further exploration at the Property and/or the acquisition of new properties. Even if additional reserves are discovered, the process from exploration to production can take many years, during which the economic feasibility of production may change. Therefore, our ability to maintain or increase annual production of gold and other base or precious metals once mining activities commence, if at all, will be dependent almost entirely on our ability to bring new mines into production.


Mining is inherently risky and subject to conditions or events beyond our control, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.


Mining involves various types of risks and hazards, including:

 

 

·

environmental hazards;

 

·

power outages;

 

·

metallurgical and other processing problems;

 

·

unusual or unexpected geological formations;

 

·

flooding, fire, explosions, cave-ins, landslides and rock-bursts;

 

·

inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment, or labor;

 

·

metals losses; and

 

·

periodic interruptions due to inclement or hazardous weather conditions.

 

These risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, mineral properties, production facilities or other properties, personal injury, environmental damage, delays in mining, increased production costs, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Exploration for economic deposits of gold, silver and base metals is speculative.


Our business is very speculative since there is generally no way to recover any of the funds expended on exploration unless the existence of commercially exploitable reserves are established and the Company can exploit those reserves by either commencing mining operations, selling or leasing its interest in the properties, or entering into a joint venture with a larger company that can further develop the properties. Unless we can establish and exploit reserves before our funds are exhausted, we will have to discontinue operations.


Changes in the market price of gold, silver and other metals, which in the past has fluctuated widely, will affect the profitability of our operations and financial condition.


Our profitability and long-term viability depend, in large part, upon the market price of gold and other metals and minerals produced from our mineral properties. The market price of gold and other metals is volatile and is impacted by numerous factors beyond our control, including:

 

 

·

expectations with respect to the rate of inflation;

 

·

the relative strength of the U.S. dollar and certain other currencies;

 

·

interest rates;

 

·

global or regional political, financial, or economic conditions;

 

·

supply and demand for jewelry and industrial products containing metals; and

 

·

sales by central banks and other holders, speculators and producers of gold and

other metals in response to any of the above factors.

 

A decrease in the market price of gold and other metals could affect the commercial viability of our operations on our properties and our anticipated development and production assumptions. Lower gold, silver and other base metals prices could also adversely affect our ability to finance future development, all of which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the market price of gold and other metals will remain at current levels or that such prices will improve.


Our estimates of resources are subject to uncertainty.


Estimates of resources are subject to considerable uncertainty. Such estimates are arrived at using standard acceptable geological techniques, and are based on the interpretations of geological data obtained from drill holes and other sampling techniques. Engineers use drilling results to derive estimates of cash operating costs based on anticipated tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and processed, the predicted configuration of the ore bodies, expected recovery rates of metal from ore, comparable facility and operating costs and other factors. Actual cash operating costs and economic returns on projects may differ significantly from the original estimates, primarily due to fluctuations in the current prices of metal commodities extracted from the deposits, changes in fuel costs, labor rates, changes in permit requirements, and unforeseen variations in the characteristics of the ore body. Due to the presence of these factors, there is no assurance that any geological reports will accurately reflect actual quantities of gold or silver that can be economically processed and mined by us.


The mineralization estimates are based on interpretation and assumptions and may yield less mineral production, if any, under actual conditions.


When making determinations whether to continue any project, we must rely upon such estimated calculations as to the mineral reserves and grades of mineralization on the Properties. Until ore is actually mined and processed, mineral reserves and grades of mineralization must be considered as estimates only.


These estimates are imprecise and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences drawn from drilling and sampling analysis, which may prove to be unreliable. We cannot assure you that:


 

·

these estimates will be accurate;

 

·

reserve or other mineralization estimates will be accurate; or

 

·

this mineralization can be mined or processed profitably.

 



-16-



Any material changes in mineral reserve estimates and grades of mineralization may affect the economic viability of placing a property into production and a property’s return on capital. Because we have not started mining operations at either of the Properties and have not commenced actual production, mineralization estimates may require adjustments or downward revisions based upon further drilling and/or actual production experience.


In addition, the grade of ore ultimately mined, if any, may differ from that indicated by our testing results to date. There can be no assurance that minerals recovered in small scale tests will be duplicated in large scale tests under on-site conditions or in production scale. Declines in market prices for gold, silver or other base metals may render portions of our mineralization, reserve estimates uneconomic and result in reduced reported mineralization or adversely affect the commercial viability of the Properties. Any material reductions in estimates of mineralization, or of our ability to extract this mineralization, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.


Our exploration activities may not be successful, which could lead us to abandon our plans to develop the properties and our investments in exploration.


Our long-term success depends on our ability to identify proven reserves and mine the Properties and any other properties we may acquire, if any. Exploration activities are highly speculative in nature, which involves many risks and is frequently non-productive. These risks include unusual or unexpected geologic formations, and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor. The success of our exploration program is determined in part by the following factors:

 

 

·

the identification of potential gold and silver mineralization based on surficial analysis;

 

·

availability of government-granted exploration permits;

 

·

the quality of our management and our geological and technical expertise; and

 

·

the capital available for exploration.

 

Substantial expenditures are required to establish proven and probable reserves through drilling and analysis, to develop metallurgical processes to extract metal, and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at the Properties. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, which include, without limitation, the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices, which fluctuate widely; and government regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. We may invest significant capital and resources in exploration activities and abandon such investments if we are unable to identify commercially exploitable mineral reserves. We cannot assure you that we will discover mineralized resources in sufficient quantities on the Properties to commence commercial development.


Actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns may differ significantly from those we have anticipated and there is no assurance that our development activities will result in profitable mining operations.


We plan to estimate operating and capital costs for the Properties based on information available to us and that we believe to be accurate. However, costs for labor, regulatory compliance, energy, mine and plant equipment and materials needed for mine development and construction may fluctuate significantly. In light of these factors, actual costs related to our proposed mine development and construction may exceed any estimates we may make. We do not have an operating history upon which we can base estimates of future operating costs related to the Properties. We intend to rely upon our analysis of the future economic feasibility of the project and any estimates that may be contained therein. Studies derive estimates of cash operating costs based upon, among other things:

 

 

·

anticipated tonnage, grades and metallurgical characteristics of the ore to  be mined and processed;

 

·

anticipated recovery rates of gold and other metals from the ore;

 

·

cash operating costs of comparable facilities and equipment; and

 

·

anticipated climatic conditions.


Capital and operating costs, production and economic returns, and other estimates may differ significantly from actual costs, and there can be no assurance that our actual capital and operating costs will not be higher than anticipated or disclosed.


In addition, any calculations of cash costs and cash cost per ounce may differ from similarly titled measures of other companies and are not intended to be an indicator of projected operating profit.



-17-



There can be no assurance that we will be successful in establishing mining operations or profitably exploiting mineral deposits.


We are subject to all of the risks associated with establishing new mining operations and business enterprises including:

 

 

·

the timing and cost, which can be considerable, of the construction of mining and processing facilities;

 

·

the ability to find sufficient gold and silver reserves to support a mining operation;

 

·

the availability and costs of skilled labor and mining equipment;

 

·

the availability and cost of appropriate smelting and/or refining arrangements;

 

·

compliance with environmental and other governmental approval and permit requirements;

 

·

the availability of funds to finance construction and development activities;

 

·

potential opposition from non-governmental organizations, environmental groups, local groups or local inhabitants which may delay or prevent development activities; and

 

·

potential increases in construction and operating costs due to changes in the cost of fuel, power, materials, supplies, and other costs.

 

It is common in new mining operations to experience unexpected problems and delays during construction, development and mine start-up; delays in the commencement of mineral production often occur. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our activities will result in profitable mining operations or that we will successfully establish mining operations or profitably extract gold or silver at the Properties.


We do not have sufficient assets to fund our exploration activities.


The development of new mining operations requires the commitment of substantial resources for operating expenses and capital expenditures, which may increase in subsequent years as needed consultants, personnel and equipment associated with advancing exploration, development and commercial production are added. The amount and timing of expenditures will depend on the progress of ongoing exploration and development, the results of consultants’ analysis and recommendations, the rate at which operating losses are incurred, the execution of any joint venture agreements with strategic partners and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.


We have no history as a company engaged in the mining business.


We have no history of earnings or cash flow from mining activities. If we identify proven reserves and are able to proceed to production, commercial viability will be affected by factors that are beyond our control such as the particular attributes of the deposit, the fluctuation in the prices of gold and silver, the cost of construction and operating a mining operation, the availability of economic sources for energy, government regulations including regulations relating to prices, royalties, restrictions on production, quotas on exploration as well as the costs of protection of the environment.


We have no proven reserves, no mining operations, and no operating income.

We currently have no revenues from operations, no mining operations, and no proven reserves. Reserves, by definition, contain mineral deposits in a quantity and in a form from which the target minerals may be economically and legally extracted or produced. We have not established that precious minerals exist in any quantity in the properties which is the focus of our exploration efforts, and unless or until we do so we will not have any income from operations.


We face many operating risks.


The development and operation of a mining property involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. These risks include, among other things, ground fall, flooding, environmental hazards and the discharge of toxic chemicals, explosions and other accidents. Such occurrences may result in work stoppages, delays in production, increased production costs, damage to or destruction of mines and other producing facilities, injury or loss of life, damage to property, environmental damage and possible legal liability for such damages.


A shortage of critical equipment, supplies and resources could adversely affect our operations.


We are dependent on equipment, supplies and resources to carry out our mining operations, including input commodities, drilling equipment and skilled labor. A shortage in the market for any of these factors could cause unanticipated cost increases and delays in delivery times, which could in turn adversely impact production schedules and costs. Operations at the Property will require a significant amount of water. Successful mining and processing will require careful control of project water usage and efficient reclamation of project solutions in the process.



-18-



We do not insure against all risks to which we may be subject in our planned operations.


Any insurance that we secure will in all likelihood not cover all of the potential risks associated with a mining company’s operations, and we may be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Moreover, we expect that insurance against certain hazards as a result of exploration and production may be prohibitively expensive to obtain for a company of our size and financial means.


We might also become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards which may not be insured against or which we may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Insurance against certain environmental risks, including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from production, is not generally available to us or to other companies within the mining industry.


Losses from events that are not covered by our insurance policies may cause us to incur significant costs that could negatively affect our financial condition and ability to fund our activities on the Property. A significant loss could force us to terminate our operations.


Drilling operations are hazardous, raise environmental concerns and raise insurance risks.


We intend to conduct our business in a way that safeguards public health and the environment and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Environmental hazards may exist on properties in which we hold an interest which are unknown to us and may have been caused by prior owners. Changes to drilling and mining laws and regulations could require additional capital expenditures and increase operating and/or reclamation costs. Although we are unable to predict what additional legislation, if any, might be proposed or enacted, additional regulatory requirements could render certain operations uneconomic.


Local infrastructure may impact our exploration activities and results of operations.


Our activities depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges and power and water supplies are important determinants that affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomenon, sabotage or government or other interference in the maintenance of such infrastructure could adversely affect our activities.


Compliance with SEC reporting requirements can be costly. 


We do not have any employees to segregate responsibilities and may be unable to afford increasing our staff or engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of employees. During the course of our operations, we may identify other deficiencies that we may not be able to remedy in time to satisfy the requirements imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with that Section 404. If we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information.


We are subject to significant governmental regulations.


The Properties are located in Nevada and are subject to extensive federal, provincial, and local laws and regulations governing various matters, including:


 

·

environmental protection;

 

·

management and use of toxic substances and explosives;

 

·

management of natural resources;

 

·

labor standards and occupational health and safety, including mine safety; and

 

·

historic and cultural preservation.

 



-19-



Noncompliance may result in civil or criminal fines or penalties or enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities enjoining or curtailing operations or requiring corrective measures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions, any of which could result in us incurring significant expenditures. We may also be required to compensate private parties suffering loss or damage by reason of a breach of such laws, regulations or permitting requirements. It is also possible that future laws and regulations will be more stringent which could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions on our operations and delays in the development of the Properties.


Our activities are subject to environmental laws and regulations that may increase our costs of doing business and restrict our operations.


All of our exploration and potential development and production activities are in the state of Nevada are subject to regulation by governmental agencies under various environmental laws. These laws address, among other things, emissions into the air, discharges into water, management of waste, management of hazardous substances, protection of natural resources, antiquities and endangered species and reclamation of lands disturbed by mining operations.


Additionally, our operations will result in emissions of greenhouse gases, which may be subject to increased regulation in the future. In general, environmental legislation is evolving and the trend has been towards stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and increasing responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Compliance with environmental laws and regulations requires significant capital outlays, and future changes in these laws and regulations may cause material changes or delays in our financial position, operations and future activities. More stringent regulation may cause us to re-evaluate our activities.


Land reclamation requirements for the Properties may be burdensome.


Land reclamation requirements are generally imposed on mineral exploration companies (as well as companies with mining operations) in order to minimize long term effects of land disturbance.

 

Reclamation may include requirements to:

 

 

·

control dispersion of potentially deleterious effluents; and

 

·

reasonably re-establish pre-disturbance land forms and vegetation.

 

In order to carry out reclamation obligations we will have to allocate a portion of our financial resources that might otherwise be spent on further exploration and development programs. Unanticipated reclamation work will adversely impact our operations.

 

We may not be able to comply with permitting requirements.


We may not obtain required permitting to commence production activities. Maintaining the permits may require us to comply with more stringent government regulation or new regulatory controls may be instituted which will require us to implement more stringent controls and procedures over our production activities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with more stringent government regulations or that additional costs will be required to remain compliant. This may result in production delays and impact our budgeted resources.


We may experience difficulty attracting and retaining qualified management.


We are dependent on the services of our executive officers. We will have to hire other highly skilled and experienced consultants. Due to our relatively small size, the loss of these persons or our inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees may have a material adverse effect on our business or future operations. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on any of our officers or directors.




-20-



We compete with larger, better capitalized competitors in the mining industry.


The mining industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases, including financing, technical resources, personnel and property acquisition. It requires significant capital, technical resources, personnel and operational experience to effectively compete in the mining industry. Larger companies with significant resources have an advantage over us. Competition for resources at all levels is very intense, particularly affecting the availability of manpower, drill rigs, mining equipment and production equipment. As a result, we may be unable to maintain or acquire financing, personnel or technical resources.


Our directors and officers may have conflicts of interest as a result of their relationships with other companies.


Our directors and officers may serve as officers or directors for other companies engaged in natural resource exploration and development. We have several contractual commitments to Steven Jones. The directors and officers owe us a fiduciary obligation. We have not yet established a policy to deal with potential conflicts of interest.


The loss of key members of our senior management team could adversely affect the execution of our business strategy and our financial results.

We believe that the successful execution of our business strategy and our ability to move beyond the exploratory stages depends on the continued employment of key members of our senior management team. If any members of our senior management team become unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, our financial results and our business could be materially adversely affected.


Legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, may make it difficult for us to retain or attract officers and directors.


We may be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of rules and regulations which govern publicly-held companies. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has resulted in a series of rules and regulations that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. We are a small company with a limited operating history and no revenues. This may influence the decisions of potential candidates we may recruit as directors or officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.


There are no confirmed mineral deposits on any properties from which we may derive any financial benefit.

Neither the Company nor any independent geologist has confirmed commercially mineable ore deposits. In order to implement an exploration program we will require substantial additional funding. If this program does not indicate that there are reserves that can be commercially developed, we have lost any economic benefit from this exploration program.

We have no ongoing mining operations.

We are not a mining company and have no ongoing mining operations of any kind. We have interests in mining concessions which may or may not lead to production.

There is no assurance that there will not be title or boundary disputes.


Although we have investigated the right to explore and exploit our properties and obtained records from government offices with respect to all of the mineral claims comprising our properties, this should not be construed as a guarantee of title. Other parties may dispute the title to any of our properties or that any property may be subject to prior unregistered agreements and transfers or land claims by aboriginal, native, or indigenous peoples. The title may be affected by undetected encumbrances or defects or governmental actions.


Local infrastructure may impact our exploration activities and results of operations.


Mining, processing, development and exploration activities depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges and power and water supplies are important determinants that affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage or government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect the activities and profitability of the Company.




-21-



Our management controls a significant percentage of our current outstanding common stock.

As of the date of this report, SJE Mining owns approximately 70% of our issued and outstanding shares of our common stock. Mr. Jones, our vice president of operations and director owns 50% of the outstanding membership interests in SJE. This concentration of voting control gives management substantial influence over any matters which require a stockholder vote, including without limitation the election of directors and approval of merger and/or acquisition transactions, even if their interests may conflict with those of other stockholders. It could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of, or otherwise discouraging, a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of the company. This could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common stock or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the then prevailing market prices for their shares of common stock.

There may be challenges to our title in our mining properties.

While we intend to conduct our own due diligence prior to committing significant funds to any project, mining properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers or claims and title may be affected by undetected defects. Should this occur, we face significant delays, costs and the possible loss of any investments or commitment of capital.

The precious metals markets are volatile markets. This will have a direct impact on the Company’s revenues (if any) and profits (if any) and will probably have an adverse affect on our ongoing operations.

The price of both gold and silver has increased over the past few years. This has contributed to the renewed interest in gold and silver mining and companies engaged in that business, including the exploration for both gold and silver. However, in the event that the price of these metals fall, the interest in the gold and silver mining industry may decline and the value of the Company’s business could be adversely affected. Further, although it is anticipated that mining costs outside of the United States and Canada will be appreciably lower, no assurances can be given that the situation will remain, or that gold or silver will remain at a price that will enable us to generate revenues from our mining operations. Even if we are able to generate revenues, there can be no assurance that any of our operations will prove to be profitable. Finally, in recent decades, there have been periods of both overproduction and underproduction of both gold and silver resources. Such conditions have resulted in periods of excess supply of and reduced demand on a worldwide basis and on a domestic basis. These periods have been followed by periods of short supply of and increased demand for both gold and silver. The excess or short supply of gold has placed pressure on prices and has resulted in dramatic price fluctuations even during relatively short periods of seasonal market demand. We cannot predict what the market for gold or silver will be in the future.

Risks related to our common stock:


There presently is a limited market for our common stock, and the price of our common stock may be volatile.

 

Our common stock is currently quoted on OTCQB. We have, however, a very limited trading history. If a market for our common stock ever develops, there could be volatility in the volume and market price of our common stock. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of “bid” and “ask” quotations and generally lower trading volume. In addition, factors such as quarterly variations in our operating results, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to meet our or their projected financial and operating results, litigation involving us, factors relating to our industry, actions by governmental agencies, national economic and stock market considerations as well as other events and circumstances beyond our control could have a significant impact on the future market price of our common stock and the relative volatility of such market price.

 

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.


Our stockholders could sell substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, including shares upon the expiration of any statutory holding period under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), if available, or upon trading limitation periods. Such volume could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make it more difficult for us to secure additional financing through the sale of equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.




-22-



Our directors and officers have rights to indemnification.


We will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was our director or officer, or who is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, to the full extent permitted by Nevada law. The inclusion of these provisions in our Articles may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, and may discourage or deter stockholders or management from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breach of their duty of care, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise have benefited us and our stockholders.


We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends.


We do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends, if any, would be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of our Board of Directors. We presently intend to retain all earnings, if any, to implement our business strategy; accordingly, we do not anticipate the declaration of any dividends in the foreseeable future.


We are subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions, and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” as an equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions. Our common stock is a “penny stock” and is subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act, or the “Penny Stock Rule.” This rule imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by Rule 15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale. As a result, this rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and may affect the ability of purchasers to sell any of our securities in the secondary market, thus possibly making it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.


For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require delivery, prior to any transaction in penny stock, of a disclosure schedule required by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about sales commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market of penny stocks.

 

There can be no assurance that our common stock will qualify for exemption from the Penny Stock Rule. In any event, even if our common stock were exempt from the Penny Stock Rule, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which gives the SEC the authority to restrict persons from participating in a distribution of a penny stock, under certain circumstances, if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.


THE RISKS SET FORTH ABOVE SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMPLETE LIST OF THE RISKS WHICH MAY AFFECT THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS, THE OFFERING OR THE RISKS WHICH YOU FACE AS A PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR. THE SECURITIES OFFERED INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT. ANY PERSON CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF THESE SECURITIES SHOULD BE AWARE OF THESE AND OTHER FACTORS SET FORTH IN THIS MEMORANDUM AND SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS, HER OR ITS LEGAL, TAX AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS PRIOR TO MAKING AN INVESTMENT IN SECURITIES. THE SECURITIES SHOULD ONLY BE PURCHASED BY PERSONS WHO CAN AFFORD TO LOSE ALL OF THEIR INVESTMENT.

General


The following analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, including footnotes, and other information presented elsewhere in this report on Form 8-K.


The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition.


Overview


SJE Mining LLC is a Nevada limited liability Company organized on March 24, 2014. SJE has acquired mining claims in Nevada as more specifically described under Item 2.01. These claims were subsequently transferred to Goldspan in consideration for the issuance of 200 million shares of Goldspan common stock.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION


During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014 no compensation was paid to any of our officers or directors.


During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014 we paid our officers the following compensation:


·

David Smith:

$22,500 in salary

·

Phillip Allen:

$41,250 in salary and $160,000 in stock grants

·

Iain Stewart:

$22,500 in salary and $80,000 in stock grants


There is currently no agreement in place for the payment of any salaries to any of our current officers or directors. We anticipate that our officers will not receive any cash compensation until such time as the Company secures additional financing or generates revenues. However, officers and directors may be awarded stock awards and stock options.


Our Compensation Policy:


The Board of Directors is responsible for establishing, implementing and monitoring the policies governing compensation for executives. Officers may be members of the Board of Directors and are able to vote on matters of compensation. There is no independent compensation committee.


In determining a compensation package for our officers, the Board will take into consideration the Company’s overall remuneration strategy and, where information is available, verifying the appropriateness of existing remuneration levels using external sources for comparison; (ii) comparing the nature and amount of the Company’s directors’ and executive officers’ compensation to performance against goals set for the year while considering relevant comparative information, independent expert advice and the financial position of the Company; (iii) ensuring maximum shareholder benefit from the retention of high quality board and executive team members; (iv) considering nominees for independent directors of the Company; and (v) planning for the succession of directors and executive officers of the Company, including appointing, training and monitoring senior management to ensure that the Board of Directors and management have appropriate skill and experience.


The executive employment market in general is very competitive due to the number of companies with whom we compete to attract and retain executive and other staff with the requisite skills and experience to carry out our strategy and to maintain compliance with multiple Federal and State regulatory agencies. Many of these companies have significantly greater economic resources than our own. The Board has recognized that compensation packages must be able to attract and retain highly talented individuals that are committed to the Company’s goals and objectives, without at this time paying cash salaries that are competitive with some peers that have greater economic resources. The Company’s compensation structure is weighted towards equity compensation in the form of stock awards and options to acquire common stock, which the Board believes motivates and encourages executives to pursue strategic opportunities while managing the risks involved in our current business stage, and aligns compensation incentives with value creation for our shareholders.

Director Independence


Iain Stewart, Trevor Moss and Thomas Mancuso do not serve as corporate officers. However, we have not decided, however, what independence standard will be used to make this determination. We hope that the addition of independent directors to the Board will help us better oversee and manage risk.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS


Nevada Statutes (“NRS”) provides that a director or officer will not be individually liable for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (i) the director's or officer's acts or omissions constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties, and (ii) such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law.


Corporate law in Nevada permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding if the officer or director has not acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, if a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of the officer or director was unlawful.


Nevada law also permits a corporation to indemnify its officers and directors against expenses incurred by them in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding as they are incurred and in advance of final disposition thereof, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.


The statutes provide that a Nevada corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, for any liability asserted against him and liability and expenses incurred by him in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him against such liability and expenses.


We may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was our director or officer, or who is or was serving at our request as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, to the full extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes as such statutes may be amended from time to time.


Insofar as indemnification by us for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling the company pursuant to provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that such director, officer or controlling person asserts a claim for indemnification against the company in connection with a successful defense of any action, we reserve the right to submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by the company is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act. Goldspan will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


At the present time, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or other agent of ours in which indemnification would be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding, which may result in a claim for such indemnification.
