Section 2 - Financial Information


Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.


On October 12, 2012, the Registrant abandoned the following geothermal lease assets:


Nevada Geothermal Leases


On August 26, 2010, the Company acquired 100% interest of three geothermal leases located in the State of Nevada.  These leases were purchased from Minera Inc., Minera Cerro El Diablo Inc. and Dakota Resource Holdings LLC in exchange for the Company’s common stock valued at $0.15 per share in the amount of 3,000,000 shares, 5,000,000 shares and 6,000,000 shares, respectively.  The initial lease tenure is 10 years and is renewable up to 40 years, providing that geothermal production has been realized in the initial term. The annual lease payment is $3/acre for the first 10 years, approximately $29,400 for the 9800 acres noted here. The Leasing Act states that future electrical production sold from the leases would attract a gross royalty of 1.75% for the first ten years of lease and 3.50% for the remaining term of the lease.

In May 2011, the Company obtained an additional geothermal lease in the State of Nevada through the public lease auction.  The lease serial number is NVN089598, Washoe County, and consists of 1,409 acres (570 hectares).


Peruvian Geothermal Assets


The Company on November 5, 2010 completed an agreement to acquire Andean Geothermic Energy S.A.C., a Peruvian Company, from Genoa Energy Resources Inc. for 15 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which was valued at $0.12 on the transaction date and a US$25,000 cash payment. The $25,000 cash payment has not been paid as at the date of this report. Andean Geothermic Energy S.A.C. has 4 geothermal applications totaling 3600 hectares (8896 acres) in the provinces of Arequipa, Ayacucho, and Cusco in country of Peru.


On December 2, 2011 Mustang acquired, through its Peruvian subsidiary, Andean Geothermic Energy S.A.C, three additional geothermal exploration concessions in southern Peru through the government application process.  The Atecata, Coline, and Condoroma South properties are located in the Departments of Puno and Cusco, respectively and each comprises an area of 900 hectares.

The Registrant actively pursued conventional and alternative capital financing to fund the development of these geothermal assets, but has been unsuccessful due to changing conditions within the industry and other factors beyond the control of the Registrant.  In early 2012, Management determined that the Registrant’s prospects for financing its geothermal assets were not reasonably likely to improve in the foreseeable future.





On September 19, 2012, the Registrant announced its intention to focus the Company's energy and resources going forward on gold exploration in the Black Hills.  With the acquisition of North Homestake Mining Company and the Blind Gold Property completed, the Board of Directors consequently voted unanimously on October 12, 2012 not to invest any further capital in the maintenance of its geothermal properties in the State of Nevada or the Country of Peru.  This decision was based on the determination that (i) new opportunities to fund the Company's planned geothermal projects are not likely to materialize in the foreseeable future; (ii) the substantial overhead costs associated with maintaining its property position in Peru and Nevada is detrimental to current and future efforts to finance exploration of the Blind Gold Property; and (iii) the diversion of any new finances to overhead costs associated with its geothermal properties is in conflict with the Company's overall objective of creating shareholder value through the focus of its energy and resources on gold exploration in the Black Hills.  As a result of management's decision, Dakota Territory will write off its geothermal assets in the State of Nevada as at September 30, 2012 and its property assets in Country of Peru when such future holding costs become due.
