The Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, or cash flows. AuroTellurio Acquisition In addition to $30,000 cash payment and 250,000 stock issuance made at the First Closing under the AuroTellurio Option Agreement on August 4, 2011 (Note 4), assuming the Company exercises its right to acquire each of the four twenty percent (20%) interests in the AuroTellurio Property, the Company will make the following cash payments and share issuances to Mexivada: (i) $40,000 and 250,000 shares on the first anniversary of the Closing; (ii) $50,000 and 300,000 shares on the second anniversary of the Closing; (iii) $70,000 and 350,000 shares on the third anniversary of the Closing; and (iv) $100,000 and 500,000 shares on the fourth anniversary of the Closing. In connection with the AuroTellurio Option Agreement, the Company will pay an aggregate total of $290,000 in cash and 1,650,000 common shares. On October 24, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its AuroTellurio Option Agreement pursuant to which Mexivada agreed to accept a cash payment of $17,500, instead of the $50,000 specified in the original AuroTellurio Option Agreement, as payment in full of the cash payment required to be made to Mexivada in connection with the vesting of the second 20% interest in the La Viuda Concessions. Additionally, according to the Amendment, Mexivada agreed to waive, with respect to the second 20% interest, the requirement set forth in the AuroTellurio Option Agreement, that the Company issue to Mexivada 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and the Amendment extends the second 20% interest due date for a period of 12 months, until August 4, 2014. The Amendment does not modify the cash payment and stock issuance requirements of the AuroTellurio Option Agreement relating to the two remaining 20% interests. It does, however, extend payment and issuance dates for each of the third and fourth 20% interest blocks by one year. Under the terms of the AuroTellurio Option Agreement, the Company is also committed to incur $3,000,000 in cumulative exploration expenditures on the Property over a four year period at an investment rate of at least $750,000 per year. The Company will earn a 20% vested interest in the AuroTellurio Property in the first year of the AuroTellurio Option Agreement by investing $750,000 in an exploration program and up to an additional 60% interest in the Property, in blocks of 20% each, by investing an additional $750,000 in the exploration program in each of the following three years, or sooner, and meeting all of the other required terms of the AuroTellurio Option Agreement. Each 20% interest will vest earlier if each year’s cash and stock payments to Mexivada and $750,000 exploration expenditure investment are completed earlier than scheduled. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will act as “Operator,” exclusively responsible, in consultation with Mexivada, for carrying out and administering exploration, development and mining work on the AuroTellurio Property. If costs of the exploration program exceed the agreed upon $3,000,000 investment, the Company will share additional costs with Mexivada on a proportionate share basis. Once the Company has earned its full 80% interest in the AuroTellurio Property, the Company will form a joint venture with Mexivada applicable to the further development and commercialization of the AuroTellurio Property. The Company obtained a surface rights agreement, with the landowner on whose property the La Viuda Concessions are located, to conduct its mineral exploration program, effective June 17, 2011. The Company will pay the land owner $14,400 for each year in which the Company carries out exploration work on this land. The Company has completed the majority of Phase 1 of its 2011/2012 exploration program and has conducted mapping, trenching and sampling programs at the AuroTellurio Property as well as gravity and magnetic geophysical surveys, including a helicopter-borne magnetics and radiometric survey, in preparation for an initial 3,000-meter drilling program that is planned for implementation in 2013. As of January 31, 2014, the Company incurred $715,634 since inception in its exploration and development expenditures, which are expensed as incurred. As of January 31, 2014, the Company incurred approximately $1,500,000 since inception in its exploration and development expenditures, which are expensed as incurred. In addition to the Company’s mineral exploration expenditures, Mexivada accepted certain other Company’s expenses towards its minimum requirement of $750,000 per year such as a percentage of its accounting, legal and consulting fees, compensation of its officers and directors, and management support services, which were included as a component of general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of expenses. Mexivada accepted approximately $1,089,407 of total expenses as of June 30, 2012 (the date of the Company’s expenses reviewed by Mexivada) and confirmed that the amounts over $750,000 will be applied towards the second year requirements. Mexivada also confirmed that it will grant the 20% interest in the AutoTellurio project to the Company, after the Company makes the $40,000 cash payment and issues 250,000 of its shares to Mexivada in connection with the AuroTellurio Option agreement. The $40,000 payment was made on August 10, 2012 and the 250,000 shares were issued to Mexivada on August 28, 2012.
