On December 23, 2010, the Company entered into a mineral property acquisition agreement with 2214098 Ontario Ltd. pursuant to which the Company acquired the mining lease to the Carson Property. Under the acquisition agreement, the Company is required to pay:

The Carson Property is 1,812 acres in area and is located north-north-west of the City of Yellowknife, in the Northwest Territories, Canada. The Company’s interest in the property consists of a 21 year mining lease, which expires on June 30, 2024 and for which the Company is responsible for making annual lease payment of $1,141, in order to keep the lease in good standing.

 

In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, the only costs related to the property that can be capitalized are the costs of acquisition of a mineral interest from a third party. As such, annual lease payments are expensed as incurred. The capital cost of the lease is amortized on the straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease. For the year ended December 31, 2011, amortization on the Carson Property totaled $14,978.

 

On December 13, 2010, the Company terminated its acquisition agreement for the Carson Lake Property with 2214098 Ontario Ltd. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company returned the property to the vendor, and both parties are released from any further obligation under the agreement. The Company has reflected the termination as a loss on disposal of mineral property on the statement of operations of $112,686.
