Long Term Investment	Long term investment Cuprum Resources Corp. (“Cuprum”) – In March 2007, the Company, Bellhaven Copper & Gold, Inc. (“Bellhaven”) and Cuprum entered into an Exploration Development Agreement (“Agreement”). The Agreement grants the Company an option to acquire up to 75% of the authorized and outstanding stock of Cuprum, the holder of a Mineral Concession from Panama on a copper prospect located in Panama. The Agreement calls for the Company to pay Cuprum or Bellhaven $2,000,000 in annual installments of $500,000 each beginning in March 2007, issue Bellhaven 4,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under an escrow agreement and further cash investments totaling $15,000,000 to be used in exploration and development work on the copper prospect underlying Cuprum’s Mineral Concession. Currently, the Company owns less than 20% of Cuprum and therefore, has recorded this investment option under the cost method of accounting for investments. As of March 31, 2009, the Company made its first two cash installment payments of $500,000, invested another $5,600,267 which was used for the exploration and development work, and issued 4,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share, or $2,000,000. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2009, the Company reflected $8,600,401 as investments in their consolidated balance sheet, which includes the $5,600,267 incurred in the exploration and development work. The exploration and development work relates to project costs for the period. The project costs include drilling, general geology, camp, mobilization, geophysics, land administration, assays and shipping, helicopter, office, and management expenses. These costs have been capitalized by the Company as part of the Company’s option to acquire up to 75% interest in Cuprum, as per the Agreement. In accordance with the Agreement, the Company was to have contributed approximately $9,000,000 by the second anniversary of the Agreement, and by March 31, 2009, that milestone had not been reached. Therefore, as of March 31, 2009, in accordance with the Agreement, the Company did not own any direct interest in Cuprum. On April 14, 2009, the Company and Bellhaven executed a stock purchase agreement (“SPA”) whereby the Company acquired 100% interest in Cuprum for $1,500,000 in cash and 2,000,000 shares of common stock. Further, as per the SPA, Bellhaven will transfer all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cuprum currently owned by Bellhaven to the Company. In addition, all previous payments made by the Company to Bellhaven for the exploration and development work under the terms of the Agreement, and the issuance of 4,000,000 shares to Bellhaven, are included as part of the consideration for the transaction. The transaction was recorded utilizing the Investment method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company recorded an additional $1,720,000 as an Investment in Cuprum. From April 2009 to April 2010, the Company incurred additional projects costs in the amount of $1,093,802. As of April 30, 2010, the Company reflected a total of $11,414,203 as an investment in the Panamanian subsidiary. On May 3, 2010, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Panama declared the Company’s Mineral Concession as a Mining Reserve by posting a Resolution in the Gaceta Oficial of Panama. Pursuant to the Resolution, no further exploration activities are to be performed on the concession site. The Company has disputed the declaration and Resolution by MICI and has commenced legal action against the Republic of Panama. On December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a loss on the investment in Cuprum in the amount of $11,414,203. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company reflected a total of $0 as investments in any projects by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. In March 2013, the Panamanian government subsequently passed legislation that annulled existing mining concessions in the area encompassing Cerro Chorcha. The Company believes that these actions of the Panamanian government are unlawful and contravene Panama’s international obligations under the U.S.-Panama BIT and the U.S.-Panama TPA.
