Section 2 - Financial Information

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On April 5, 2017, the Registrant entered into Exploration and Mining Lease and Option to Purchase Property Agreements appertaining to a combination of surface and mineral title to 284 acres located in the Homestake District of the Northern Black Hills of South Dakota. The property acquisition included approximately 61 acres located immediately to the south and contiguous to Registrant’s City Creek Property, approximately 82 acres located one half mile south of the Blind Gold Property adjacent to the historic Maitland Mine and approximately 141 acres located immediately north and contiguous to the Homestake Paleoplacer Property.

Registrant’s property acquisition is consistent with its business development strategy of expanding its high quality mining interests within the Homestake District. Registrant completed this acquisition in the ordinary course of its business.  Based upon the amount paid, the acquisition was not deemed to involve a significant amount of assets otherwise reportable under Item 2.01.

The acquisition was completed through Exploration and Mining Lease and Option to Purchase Property Agreements made and entered into by and between Trucano Novelty, Inc., a South Dakota Corporation, whose address is 155 Sherman St., Deadwood, South Dakota 57732 and Registrant.  There is no material relationship, other than in respect of the transaction, between the Owners of the property asset and the Registrant or any of its affiliates, or any director or officer of the Registrant, or any associate of any such director or officer.

Through this property acquisition Registrant’s land holdings have increased to a total of 3,341 acres in the Homestake District of the Black Hills of South Dakota.
