PART I


Item 1.	Description of Business.

Chief Consolidated Mining Company was organized as a corporation under the laws of Arizona in 1909. Our mining and executive office is located in Eureka, Juab County, Utah. Our principal subsidiaries, or corporations which we control, are Tintic Utah Metals, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company and Chief Gold Mines, Inc., a Delaware corporation. In our own name, through these subsidiary companies and other subsidiaries, we own interests in mining properties, including the Burgin Mine and the Trixie Mine. Neither mine is currently in production but are subject to development efforts as further described below. We own a 75% membership interest in Tintic Utah. Chief Gold Mines is our wholly-owned subsidiary.

We own or control approximately 16,000 acres of patented mining land in our own name and through our subsidiaries. Of these 16,000 acres, approximately 6,000 acres are subject to being sold, as discussed below, pursuant to a Consent Decree approved by the United States District Court for the District of Utah in January 2005 on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency. These 6,000 acres are generally similar to the 6,000 acres that we considered selling to developers in 2000-2002 for residential and commercial purposes. The 6,000 acres, however, are still classified as mining land even though the land has not been mined to date.

In 2005, we commissioned a study on the further development and exploitation of our mining claims in the Tintic and East Tintic Mining Districts. The engineers who completed the study concluded that significant opportunities may exist and recommended a program of development to increase the value and enhance the prospects of viably operating four projects:


	•	Advancing the Burgin extension deposit through to a feasibility study;


	•	Further development of the concept to sell potable water from a desalination plant fed by pumped water from the Burgin Mine;


	•	Investigation of the economic possibilities of producing and selling halloysite (and other) clays from the Zuma and other areas; and


	•	Continued investigation and development of other exploration targets in the claim block and adjacent areas.

Background

Tintic Utah.

Tintic Utah was organized in 1996 under the Colorado Limited Liability Company Act as a joint venture for the development of properties that we contributed to Tintic Utah. At that time, we entered into an operating agreement with KZ Utah, Inc., a subsidiary of Korea Zinc Co. Ltd. and Akiko Gold Resources Ltd. to form Tintic Utah. The operating agreement governs the management and operations of the properties owned by Tintic Utah and the rights and obligations of the members of Tintic Utah to each other. Pursuant to the terms of the operating agreement, we transferred the mining rights to approximately 8,500 acres of our patented mining property in the East Tintic Mining District of Utah, including the Burgin Mine, to Tintic Utah in exchange for a 50% membership interest. Korea Zinc contributed $3,000,000 to Tintic Utah for a 25% membership interest. The funds from Korea Zinc were used by Tintic Utah for rehabilitation work, reserve confirmation and to produce information in connection with a potential feasibility study on the Burgin Mine. As a result of its failure to contribute the required capital to Tintic Utah, however, Akiko forfeited any rights of ownership in the joint venture and we succeeded to their 25% membership interest, increasing our ownership percentage of Tintic Utah to 75%.

Burgin Mine.

The Burgin Mine, which is located in the East Tintic Mining District of Utah, is owned by Tintic Utah. It is not currently in production. We cannot proceed with production at the mine unless we can dewater the mine and raise capital for use in connection with restarting mining operations. We have

applied for permission, as described further below, to appropriate water from the Burgin Mine and this application is currently pending before the Utah State Engineer. If the Utah State Engineer approves our application, we may then begin negotiations with various potential partners with the intention of finding a method to finance the construction of a water treatment facility. The water treatment facility would be used as the means for disposing of the water pumped from the lower levels of the Burgin Mine, enabling us to proceed with development and production programs. Although there were objections to our application, we have been in negotiations regarding the terms of an agreement with the main objectors. The Utah State Engineer will issue a decision on the application and we would have the right to appeal any adverse decision to a court. We are unable to predict whether an agreement with the objectors will be signed or when the Utah State Engineer will render his decision. Even if the Utah State Engineer approves our application and we reach an agreement with the objectors, we may not have funds to proceed, and even if we do have funds, we may not use such funds to proceed at the Burgin Mine. If we are not successful in obtaining water rights, we believe there may be alternative methods to successfully dewater the mine.

Application for Appropriation of Burgin Mine Water.

In 2000, a public hearing was held before the Utah State Engineer on our application for the appropriation of the saline waters located below the 1050 foot level of the Burgin Mine. At the hearing, several objectors to the application argued that the application should be denied on the grounds that the removal of the water from the Burgin Mine would interfere with their water rights in the Utah Lake. We presented expert testimony at the hearing to demonstrate that the Burgin geothermal system and the Utah Lake geothermal system are not connected and that removal of water from the Burgin Mine would have no effect upon Utah Lake. We have been negotiating with the objectors, but cannot predict when and how the Utah State Engineer will decide the application or whether we will reach an agreement with the objectors. Even if our application is approved, we may not be able to proceed with production at the Burgin Mine.

If the water appropriation is not approved and we choose to go forward with production at the Burgin Mine, we believe there may be alternative methods to dewater the Burgin Mine. The Utah Division of Water Quality is holding an application previously filed by us for the underground injection of Burgin Mine water in abeyance until the water appropriation application is decided by the Utah State Engineer. Alternately, we may also be able to file for a temporary diversion to dewater the Burgin Mine.

If we decide to proceed with our mining business and we are able to resolve the dewatering process, we would then start a final feasibility study. The feasibility study would define the mining methods to be employed, including among other things, pre-engineering design for pumping, defining the structural steel and cement requirements, determining the locations where deep wells will be drilled and the overall evaluation of the Burgin Mine’s main ore body.

Korea Zinc Option.

We previously held options to purchase Korea Zinc’s membership interest in Tintic Utah, and that option expired. Pursuant to the last option amendment to the operating agreement, we held an additional option to purchase Korea Zinc’s 25% membership interest for $3,000,000. That option expired on December 31, 2002. Since that option expired, the management of Tintic Utah is controlled by us and Korea Zinc through a management committee. Each member has a voting representative on the committee.

Voting is in proportion to each member’s respective membership percentage interest. As such, we will be able to determine the decisions of the management committee because we hold a majority of the percentage interests. A majority vote is required to approve a program and budget that describes the exploration, development, mining and other operational activities of Tintic Utah. The approval of a production program and budget that describes the development, rehabilitation and construction to bring the Burgin Mine into production would require the affirmative vote of us and Korea Zinc.

Chief Gold Mines.

Chief Gold Mines was formed to enter into a transaction with South Standard Mining Company and to hold certain of our mining property in the East Tintic District of Utah. As a result of the merger in 1996

of South Standard Mining Company into our wholly-owned subsidiary, Chief Gold Mines, Chief Gold Mines owns 2,200 acres of patented mining properties located in the East Tintic District of Utah, including the Trixie Mine.

Trixie Mine.

The Trixie Mine is located on property owned by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Chief Gold Mines, and is 1.5 miles from Tintic Utah’s concentrating mill. Our subsidiary, Tintic Utah last processed gold and silver ores produced from the Trixie Mine at Tintic Utah’s concentrating mill during early 2002. Due to safety conditions at the Trixie Mine, we are not operating the mine and do not presently plan to resume mining operations at the Trixie Mine, although we may be interested in various other options including, joint ventures or leasing or selling the Trixie.

EPA Settlement

During 2001, the EPA placed Eureka Mills Superfund Site on the National Priorities List, as authorized under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980. According to the EPA, samples indicate that, approximately 150 acres of soil in the Town of Eureka were contaminated with lead and, to a lesser extent, arsenic.

In 2002, the EPA finalized its actions to be taken in response to the release of waste materials at and around the site. The EPA is seeking reimbursement from Chief for its portion of the liability based on the ownership and the conduct of mining operations on portions of the site.

In February 2005, Chief agreed to a judgment with the EPA in the amount of $60 million. The judgment will remain in effect until we have complied with all the requirements of the Consent Decree. The following outlines our obligations under the Consent Decree:


	•	We agreed to use our best efforts to satisfy the judgment by seeking indemnification or recovery from insurance policies. After deducting recovery costs, 70% of all proceeds from insurance policies will be paid to the United States. Until all claims are exhausted, we must provide an annual report for five years listing insurance claims, the action taken to recover the amounts, and any recovery obtained.


	•	We agreed to use our best efforts to sell property, other than property upon which the repository, open cells, response action structures, water source, and borrow source are located. Upon the transfer of any property, we will pay the EPA 100% of net sales proceeds up to $350,000 and then 50% thereafter. If the transfer is less than the tax assessed value of the property or exceeds a total of more than 1,000 acres, the EPA may require an independent appraisal and may object to the transfer based on the sale price. If any portion of the property is not sold by the fifth anniversary of this decree, we agreed to auction the property to the highest bidder, engaging a professional auctioneer, but we cannot hold a mortgage or other security interest from any purchaser.


	•	We agreed for a five year period from the date of the Consent Decree to reimburse the United States 15% of our net income in excess of $2 million during any calendar year. We also agreed to pay the U.S. 15% of the net proceeds of the sale of Chief Consolidated Mining Company or the sale of substantially all of its assets in excess of $2 million. We are required to present audited financial statements to the EPA.


	•	We agreed to allow the EPA sole use of borrowed material (top soil, fill and base material) that is free from contaminants, and to give uninterrupted and continuous access to the borrowed source 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.


	•	We agreed to allow the EPA an irrevocable right to access, construct, operate, and close the repository and the property. We also granted the EPA the right to access, construct, and operate the two open cells on the property for the permanent disposal of waste material excavated from the site.


	•	We agreed to allow the EPA to enter onto the property to construct and maintain such response action structures as are necessary to implement the response actions. The land will have an easement for the EPA to inspect, maintain, and operate the structure. We also agreed to provide storage space and water as needed.

In the event that we complete all of our obligations under the Consent Decree, the EPA will file a Release of Notice of Federal Lien in the Office of the Juab County Recorder and we will be completely relieved of the $60 million liability, resulting in a gain in such future period. As of the current date, we continue to have obligations under the consent decree and are in compliance with those terms. The judgment amount of $60 million represents the future value of clean up costs when the terms of the Consent Decree are satisfied on February 9, 2010.

Employees

As a result of the suspension of our mining operations, we were forced to lay-off all of our employees in 2002. We currently have no employees.


Item 2.	Description of Property.

We are the direct owner of, or have a membership or stock ownership interest in, approximately 16,000 acres of patented mining property in the Tintic and East Tintic Mining Districts, located in Juab and Utah Counties of Utah. Title to the 16,000 acres of patented mining ground is vested in us, as the owner of the land.

Description of Land Holdings of our Subsidiaries

Rights Held By Tintic Utah.

The rights to approximately 8,500 acres of patented ground located in the East Tintic Mining District of Utah are held by Tintic Utah. Pursuant to the terms of Tintic Utah’s operating agreement, we transferred the mining rights of approximately 11,000 acres of our patented ground and 200 acres of our unpatented mining claims to Tintic Utah.

Under the terms of Tintic Utah’s operating agreement, ownership of approximately 2,500 acres that were not involved in Tintic Utah’s exploration and development programs reverted back to us, leaving Tintic Utah with 8,500 acres of patented mining property.

The Burgin Mine is included in the property that is held by Tintic Utah. The Burgin Mine had previously been leased by us as part of a Unit Lease, together with properties of other landowners, to Kennecott Corporation. After the Burgin Mine was removed from the Unit Lease in 1978, we leased the Burgin Mine to the Sunshine Mining Company in 1980. When Sunshine became the lessee, it gained the use of the mining shafts and other capital improvements previously made by Kennecott on the properties, including underground access by means of the Apex Number 2 Shaft.

The Apex Shaft, together with the connecting drifts and drill stations, had been rehabilitated by Sunshine at a cost of approximately $6 million. As a result of a successful lawsuit brought by us and South Standard against Sunshine relating to Sunshine’s leases with us and South Standard, the Burgin Mine was returned to us in 1992.

Tintic Utah also holds the rights to the concentrating mill (sometimes referred to as the concentrator). The concentrating mill was built by Kennecott when it was mining from the Burgin Mine under its lease. The concentrator, approximately 24,000 square feet in size, was built to process up to 1,200 tons of lead and zinc ore per day. Tintic Utah rehabilitated the concentrator over a several year period to include a precious metals (gold/silver) flow sheet. The total cost of the renovation was approximately $1,900,000. The concentrating mill processed gold and silver ores from the Trixie Mine during January, February and March 2002. The concentrates produced by the concentrating mill were brokered through H&H Metals, New York, New York, to Penoles Torreon Smelter, Penoles, Mexico.

Property Owned By Chief Gold Mines.

Approximately 2,200 acres of patented mining properties located in the East Tintic Mining District of Utah are owned by Chief Gold Mines. Chief Gold Mines acquired the property as the result of a merger of South Standard Mining Company into Chief Gold Mines in 1996.

The Trixie Mine is located on this property that was acquired by Chief Gold Mines in 1996 upon its merger with South Standard. South Standard was one of the landowners who joined in a Unit Lease to

lease various properties to Kennecott. The Trixie Mine property was included in the land contributed by South Standard to the Unit Lease. Kennecott mined from the Trixie Mine, producing gold and silver that were by-products from a flux material that Kennecott used in connection with refining its copper ore from Kennecott’s Bingham Canyon mining operation in Utah. In 1983, Kennecott sold its interest in the Unit Lease to Sunshine, who operated the Trixie Mine for approximately nine years, producing similar ores for use as flux material. The Trixie Mine was received back by South Standard in 1992. South Standard continued shipping dump materials as flux from the Trixie dump for several years after 1992, but it did not mine the Trixie Mine.

We began mining ore from the Trixie Mine in 2001, and began processing ore at the concentrating mill in January 2002. In March 2002, we encountered unstable mining conditions in the Trixie Mine and suspended mining and processing operations. As a result of the suspended mining and processing operations, we are not generating any revenues and we do not have sufficient funding to make the significant safety improvements required in the Trixie Mine or to continue exploration efforts related to the Trixie Mine.

Central Standard Consolidated Mines.

We currently own approximately 23% of the outstanding capital stock of Central Standard Consolidated Mines. Central Standard’s mining property consists of approximately 320 acres located in the north-central portion of the East Tintic Mining District. This property is surrounded by property owned by Tintic Utah. The approximately 320 acres owned by Central Standard is located about 2 miles from the Burgin Mine and the geologic characteristics of the Central Standard property are similar to those of the Trixie Mine.

Other Land Rights in Utah and Juab Counties

In addition to the land owned by our subsidiaries, and companies in which we have an interest, enumerated above, we own approximately 6,000 additional acres of mining land in the Tintic Mining District in Utah.

Exploration of Our Mining Properties

In 2005, we commissioned a group of consultants consisting of mining and geological engineers, as well as metallurgical and hydro-chemical engineers, to conduct a technical survey on our mining properties. This report is posted on our website at www.chiefmines.com and a summary of its contents is described below. The summary below does not contain all information contained in the 2005 report. The section below also describes the current status of development regarding our mining property.

Brief History of the Mining District

Ore was initially discovered in the Tintic District, where we own our property, at the end of the 19^th century. Within a few years most of the major outcropping ore-bodies were being mined and there were 15 -20 exploitation and exploration shafts. By the end of the 1871, three mining camps had been established – Eureka, Silver City and Diamond City. All future discoveries of major deposits in the East Tintic would be blind ore-bodies, based on surface alteration and found by underground geologic interpretation. In the early 1900s, miners became interested in the Tintic Standard area. The Tintic Standard Mine went on to become one of the major lead-silver mines in the world.

District production slowly increased through discovery of new mines and peaked between 1921 and 1930, when according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Mines (Morris and Mogensen (1978)) production for the decade from the combination of the Tintic and East Tintic Mining Districts reached 4,250,000 tons. From that peak, production decreased to a low of 662,000 tons between 1961 and 1970. Production from the Burgin Mine led to a second peak of 1,200,000 tons between 1971 and 1976. Total recovered metal from the district between 1869 and 1976 is as follows:


Tons			18MM
Gold			2.7MM ounces
Silver			270MM ounces
Copper			250MM lbs.
Lead			2.2 billion lbs.
Zinc			250MM lbs.

Property Description and Location

Our property in the Tintic Mining District comprises approximately 16,000 acres of patented mining claims. This property is located in Juab and Utah Counties in the State of Utah (see figure no.2 below). In order to retain title to the patented mining property, we must pay all applicable land taxes each year. Of these mining claims, approximately 8,500 acres of patented mining rights are held by Tintic Utah Metals LLC. The center of the property is approximately 39º - 57´ N latitude and 112º - 20´ W longitude. The area is dominated by the East Tintic Mountains, a north trending fault block range near the eastern margin of the Great Basin.

The consultants have not yet determined the full extent and location of our mining claims. In the technical study, the consultants concentrated their efforts on the East Tintic District, the location of the Burgin Mine. The approximate claim boundary in that area is shown on Figure No.3 below:

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

The property that was examined during the 2005 technical study is approximately 60 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, Utah and is accessible by paved county roads. The property may be reached by traveling south on Interstate 15 from Provo to Santaquin, a distance of 15 miles, then west on Highway 6 (which bisects the area) for a distance of approximately 20 miles. A spur from the Denver Rio Grande Western Railway line also services the Burgin Mine, which is the location of the primary asset development target (see Figure No. 2 above).

The topography is dominated by north trending ridges with associated valleys with elevations ranging from 5,000 feet to 10,000 feet. Precipitation amounts to approximately 15 inches per year, equally proportioned between snow and rain. The average mid-winter temperature in January is 38ºF with a recorded low of negative 18ºF. During the mid-summer (August), the average temperature is 74ºF and the maximum recorded high is 112ºF. Vegetation in the claim area is typical of semi-arid mountainous terrain. Sage juniper, hedgehog cactus and prickly pear dominate on the hotter and drier south facing slopes. Aspen, Douglas fir and spruce trees cover the higher and north facing slopes.

The town of Eureka, altitude 6460 ft., population 760, lies adjacent to the claim boundaries. This town has serviced previous mining activities. There are also a few small towns located eastward on Highway 6 towards Santaquin, a town that is located at the junction of Highway 6 and Interstate 15 and has a population of approximately 5000.

Rock Formations on the Property

The East Tintic Range is a north trending fault block range near the eastern border of the Great Basin-range province. Its shape and orientation is controlled by northerly trending Basin-range normal faults, formed late in the geological history of the range.

The mountains are underlain by Precambrian and Paleozoic strata that underwent complex folding and faulting during the Sevier orogeny of the Cretaceous age. In Oligocene and Miocene times the deformed strata were intruded by stocks and buried by volcanic rocks.

Precambrian Formations. The Precambrian rocks exposed in the region are predominantly quartzite, argillite and brown dolomite. These rock formations total approximately 1650 ft in thickness.

Paleozoic Formations. The Paleozoic rocks unconformably overlie the Precambrian and are estimated to be approximately 12,000 feet in thickness. Morris and Mogensen, geologists who have surveyed the East Tintic area and published numerous studies, have commented that, in general, the Paleozoic rocks in the area consist of approximately 60% carbonate rocks, 30% quartzite and 10% shale. The base of the Paleozoic rock formations consists of 3,000 feet of Tintic Quartzite. Above the Tintic Quartzite, in what is known as the Ophir Formation, lies limey shales and limestones. Above the Ophir Formation, sandstones and shale are distinctly subordinate to carbonate rocks.

Most of the mineral production from the Paleozoic strata has come from five units as follows:


	•	The 370 ft thick Ophir Formation ($200 million).


	•	450 ft thick Bluebell Dolomite ($135 million).


	•	510 ft thick Ajax Dolomite ($60 million).


	•	900 ft thick Deseret Formation ($47 million).


	•	Approximately 2,700 ft thick Tintic Quartzite ($35 million).

Developments during Oligocene and Miocene Times. Following the Paleozoic era, the strong mature relief was buried by ash, which has become known as the Packard Quartz Latite. The Packard Quartz Latite is overlain by a sequence of latite flows, tuffs and agglomerates which make up the Tintic Mountain Volcanic Group. These rocks formed a large composite volcanic cone that was intruded by many stocks, plugs and sills of latite and monzonite porphyry of the Sunrise Peak Stock. The youngest Oligocene eruptive rocks in the district belong to the Laguna Springs Volcanic Group. The volume of Laguna Springs tuffs and flows is small compared to earlier volcanic events. The termination of their eruption was

marked by the intrusion of the Silver City stock, a monzonite porphyry. Associated with the Silver City stock are numerous monzonite porphyry plugs and dikes. During and after intrusion of the Silver City stock large volumes of hydrothermal fluids coursed through the faults and breccia zones of the region and produced extensive regions of hydrothermal alteration. These solutions changed in chemical character over time and ultimately caused dolomitization, propylitization, argillization, silicification, calcitization and sericitization of country rocks. During later stages of fluid evolution they deposited the ores for which the district is famous.

Developments During the Sevier Orogeny. During the Sevier orogeny, three or more superimposed thrust faults and many associated high angle faults were produced in the sedimentary pile. Paleozoic rocks were displaced as much as 100 miles eastward over younger Paleozoic and Mesozoic strata. During later stages of movement the strata and thrusts were crumpled into asymmetric anticlines and synclines with amplitudes of 3 – 4.5 miles. During the folding, small thrust faults developed on the limbs and crests of the structures. A series of late faults cut the intrusives, volcanics and sediments and can be traced northeasterly across the district. Locally, the fault planes are occupied by pebble dikes. These late faults show little displacement, typically on the order of a few tens of feet and in most instances dip steeply to the west. These faults, according to Morris and Mogensen, were the primary conduits for ore-depositing solutions and where they localize ore shoots the wall rocks exhibit concentric zones of hydrothermal alteration.

Mineralization and Deposits in the Tintic District

Description of Mined Ore-Bodies. The mined ore-bodies on our property occur as replacement deposits, replacement veins and fissure veins, as well as stockworks and disseminated deposits. Replacement deposits have been the source of more than 90% of the ore produced in the Main Tintic and East Tintic Districts. The replacement deposits range from small masses of less than a ton to masses containing more than 2,000,000 tons. They are irregular in form and commonly connected one to another by narrow stringers or veins of ore. Some deposits show a clear localization by structure, whilst others are seemingly unrelated to structure.

Replacement Deposits. Replacement deposits in the Tintic District occur in five linear zones known as ore-runs. Each ore-run is generally rod-shaped and less than 100 feet wide. Much, if not most of the volume of the ore-run, consists of un-replaced wall rock. These geometries are very difficult to quantify with exploration. Most of the mines in the Main Tintic District carried very small tonnages of proven reserves and relied on continuous underground exploration. Much of this work was completed by lessors. The ore-bodies in the East Tintic District, including the Burgin Mine, show a greater amount of structural control. The major replacement deposits are irregular masses localized by the intersections of northeast trending fissure zones and small thrust faults with porous, permeable and reactive units.

Replacement Veins. Replacement veins were mined most commonly in the pyrometasomatic rocks near the margin of the Silver City Stock, where ore replaced the fault gouge and breccia and locally replaced reactive beds.

Fissure Veins. Fissure veins occur in a myriad of short faults typically cutting massive siliceous rock units including quartzite, quartz monzonite, monzonite porphyry, latite, silicified tuff and agglomerate.

Types of Ores in the Tintic District. The ores in the district consist largely of galena and sphalerite with variable amounts of acanthite, argentite, tetrahedrite-tennantite, enargite-famatinite, proustite, hessite, calaverite, native gold and silver and a wide variety of uncommon copper, lead, silver and bismuth sulfosalt minerals. The above mentioned minerals occur in a gangue that is commonly siliceous, ranging in texture from coarsely crystalline quartz near the Silver City stock to fine grained jasperoid even flinty jasperoid in the far north and distal parts of the district. The gangue also includes abundant barite, calcite, dolomite and rhodochrosite. Deep oxidation above the water table reaches depths of 900-2,200 feet in the sediments and has produced a variety of sulfate, carbonate, silicates, arsenates, antimonates, manganates and other mineral varieties.

Mineral Zoning. Mineral zoning in the district is pronounced. Deposits in the south were most valuable for copper and gold. Lead and silver were more prevalent in the north and zinc was the most prevalent mineral in the northern-most deposits. At the Ball Park deposit to the north of the Burgin Mine,

silver grades are most commonly less than an ounce and zinc is typically more abundant than lead. In the East Tintic District, metal zonation similar to that seen from south to north across the district can be seen from the deeper parts of some deposits to the shallower regions. The North Lily Mine produced gold and copper ores at depth and moderate grade lead and silver ores from the central and northern parts of the mine. Morris and Mogensen (1978) report the Tintic Standard Mine produced gold-copper ore at depth, silver-lead ore from the central part of the mine and zincian manganese ore from the upper northeastern levels of the mine. The Burgin Mine ores contain lead, zinc, only moderate quantities of silver and insignificant amounts of copper and gold. Rhodochrosite is abundant in Burgin ores in contrast to its relative rarity in other East Tintic ore-bodies.

Mineral Processing

The Burgin Mine and Concentrator were operated by Bear Creek Mining Co., a subsidiary of Kennecott Copper Corporation, from 1963 to July 1978. They produced separate lead and zinc concentrates using differential flotation from both sulphide and oxide ores. Ore was processed at rates which varied from 400 t.p.d. to 900 t.p.d. depending upon grindability of the mineralization and availability of the mine and plant. A conventional crushing circuit preceded two ball mills in parallel which fed a lead flotation circuit followed by a zinc flotation circuit, concentrate thickening, filtering, concentrate load-out, and tailing disposal. The second ball mill was added in June 1975 in order to raise milling capacity from 400/500 t.p.d. to 700/900 t.p.d. In the final years of operation, predominantly sulphide ores were processed.

Power, Electrical and Water Supply

Power is available at our mining properties through the Utah State Grid. Various sub-stations and transformers on the property are live and fed by the local utility. There is sufficient power to operate the facilities installed by Kennecott Mining Company in the 1970s, i.e. a 800 t.p.d. concentrator, three mining locations with associated shafts and workings and an office complex and labor ‘‘dry’’. In addition, we own perennial water rights that are sufficient for all the installed facilities.

Modernization and Plan of Improvement

The consultants who conducted the technical study for us in 2005, after spending time on the property and an extensive evaluation of the volumes of historic data, have concluded that significant opportunities exist for further development and exploitation of the claims.

Consultant Recommendations for Phase One

The consultants have recommended, at an estimated cost range of $3,000,000 to $3,500,000, phase one of a plan to increase the value and enhance the prospects of viably operating the following four projects. This most recent estimate is based on the understanding gained during the 2006 program. The Phase One recommendations include:


	•	Advancing the Burgin extension deposit through to a bankable Feasibility Study.


	•	Further development of the concept to sell potable water from a desalination plant fed by pumped water from the Burgin Mine.


	•	Investigation of the economic possibilities of producing and selling halloysite (and other) clays from the Zuma and other areas.


	•	Continued investigation and development of other exploration targets in the claim block and adjacent areas.

Drilling Program. As part of this Burgin Mine Program, the consultants recommended that an underground drill program be conducted from the Burgin 1050 level, accessed via the Apex No. 2 shaft. Surface drilling has been discounted due to the inability to ensure that the drill penetrates the desired ore zone and exactly twins existing holes. The shaft and 1050 level will need inspection and rehabilitation as necessary. Ventilation, communications and safety facilities will also require attention (see figure no. 5 below). The objectives of this work, at an estimated cost of $2,500,000, will be to provide a N1 43-101 compliant resource and subsequent reserve, to obtain samples for metallurgical testing and to ascertain initial hydrological characteristics relative to ore deposit dewatering.

This drill program will provide technical data to complete essential prerequisites to a Feasibility Study. The necessary technical data includes:


	1.	Twin old holes to provide drill campaign comparisons and statistical analysis and to facilitate a N1 43-101 Resource estimate.


	2.	Metallurgical samples to define concentrate characteristics and the different metallurgy between the indicated Lead and Zinc dominant zones.


	3.	Geotechnical and hydrological data for mine planning and dewatering.


	4.	Logging of ore-body structure


	5.	Packer testing of rock permeability


	6.	Installation of maintaining wells

The collection of this data will also enable us to develop a program which will lead to the plan needed to ensure that the ore-body is effectively dewatered.

Scoping Study. Following the drilling, the consultants anticipate potential further project financing will be available through public methods. This will require the completion of a N1 43-101 Resource and Subsequent Scoping Study.

As part of a Scoping Study, capital costs should be developed for rehabilitation, repair and re-commissioning of the Concentrator and ancillary facilities. The Concentrator itself is dry and relatively clean and the remaining installed equipment appears to be in good condition, though incomplete in some areas. In contrast, any equipment which is located outside will require major work. The property has suffered from theft, particularly in electrical cabling, piping, tools, and small equipment, such as compressors and welding machines. During the recent Trixie gold ore milling it was not possible to process more than 240 tons per day, due to limitations in the classification circuit. The gravity circuit consisting of a Knelson concentrator that recovered free gold, has been sold; its replacement cost would be approximately $120,000 and the failure to provide a gravity circuit for similar ores would reduce gold recovery by approximately one-third. Additional equipment has been sold to pay creditors. A detailed inventory and assessment of deficiencies, however, has not yet been undertaken. Every part of the plant will have to be cleaned and made safe (i.e., necessary platforms, stairs, cranes, lighting, and heating, etc.) prior to any new work. It is assumed that existing process equipment will not have to be replaced, except as noted.

In summary:


	•	All conveyors, crushers, ball mills, pumps, concentrators, screens, feeders, storage silo, and dust collector, etc. should be inspected for structural integrity, where applicable, and mechanical operability, followed by repair and replacement of missing components; all motors should be inspected and tested;


	•	The building which housed the metallurgical/assay laboratories will have to be inspected, repaired, and re-equipped for on-site test-work and assaying, including environmental protection and monitoring;


	•	The inventory of tools, small equipment, and vehicles for mechanics and electricians will have to be replaced;


	•	The offices will have to be cleaned out and made habitable with plumbing, toilets, heat, and light.

An order-of-magnitude estimate of cost for rehabilitation, repair, and re-commissioning of the Concentrator and ancillary facilities to produce a bulk flotation concentrate at the rate of 800 tons per day is, in Year 2005 constant dollars, $3,500,000 to $5,000,000.

Current Status of Phase One. During 2006, the program suggested in the 2005 technical study has been partially completed; the time–schedule, however, has been delayed because of factors and exigencies encountered as the work progressed. In particular, the following information updates the status of the four objectives listed above and notes the reasons for delays:


	•	Efforts to gain access to the 1050 Burgin level via the Apex #2 shaft, to facilitate underground drilling of the extension deposit’ were thwarted by the discovery of a cave-in that had blocked the Apex shaft at the 500 ft. level. A program to rehabilitate the area is being planned. Its successful execution will allow the drilling program to be completed.


	•	Positive discussions continue to be held with potential partners and stakeholders in the desalination concept. Independent hydro/geological studies have been completed which endorse the concept of isolation and separation of the water source. New, potable water is becoming increasingly in demand in the area surrounding the Burgin Mine.


	•	The clay deposits of the Zuma area have been investigated to try to correlate existing contours and surface with previous drilling. A new drill program still needs to be designed and undertaken.


	•	A detailed geological reconnaissance and data review has been made of the entire district. Several areas of interest have been defined as meaningful targets. These areas will be subjected to more detailed evaluation in the coming field season.

Reclamation Plan

Tailing, waste and rock dumps and all related mine reclamation requirements are covered by approved and bonded permits issued by the State of Utah. By far the largest ore deposits in the district are replacements in carbonate rocks and hence there is virtually no acid generation potential. The Reclamation Plan calls for the removal of mine infrastructure and the grading and re-vegetation of the surface to its original status. An update to the existing mine reclamation plan has been submitted to the State of Utah, which has not yet responded as to its adequacy.

Current and Future Costs of Mining Projects

The total costs incurred to date for exploration on our mining properties is not reasonably quantifiable because exploration has occurred since at least 1909. Many millions of dollars have been spent over nearly one hundred years. The closest estimate is that approximately $150 million to $300 million in capital costs have been expended and a larger amount in operating costs. Since 2005, the objectives under phase one of the plan described above have been funded to date from the proceeds of the sale of a convertible debenture to Dimeling, Schreiber & Park Reorganization Fund II, LP. The amount to be incurred in the future is also not currently ascertainable, but the consultants who have conducted the technical study for us anticipate that immediate future costs could be between $5 million and $10 million.

Further development and exploration is necessary, in conjunction with a feasibility study, before a final evaluation may be made as to economic and legal feasibility of a development program.

Item 6.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding our financial condition and plan of operations. You should read the following discussion along with our financial statements and related notes included in this Form 10-KSB.

Overview

We were organized in 1909 and own several interests in mining properties in Utah, including the Burgin Mine and the Trixie Mine. Our principal subsidiaries are Tintic Utah Metals, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company and Chief Gold Mines, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Our land holdings consist of approximately 16,000 acres of mining property. Approximately 6,000 acres of this land is subject to being sold pursuant to a Consent Decree with the Environmental Protection Agency.

The Burgin Mine is not in operation. In late 2001, we began mining ore from the Trixie Mine, and began processing ore in our Tintic Mill in January 2002. In March 2002, we encountered unstable mining conditions in the Trixie Mine and suspended mining and processing operations. As a result of the suspended mining and processing operations, we are not generating any revenues and we do not have sufficient funding to make the significant safety improvements required in the Trixie Mine or to continue exploration efforts related to the Burgin Mine. As a result, we have had no significant operating activity since early 2002.

Plan of Operation

The mining aspect of our activities will concentrate on seeking one or more joint venture partners or other arrangements to fund the startup of mining operations. To the extent we enter into such an arrangement, we could contribute mining properties and/or the Burgin concentrating mill to any joint venture arrangement in return for a percentage interest in the venture, with our partner(s) to provide the main portion of cash funding requirements.

We have an immediate cash need. No assurance can be given that we will be able to raise the necessary funds, or if the funds are raised, that we will be able to restart our mining operations.

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. We have suffered net losses of $448,025 and $395,096 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Additionally, as of December 31, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $96,532,641. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

As of December 31, 2005, we had $950,000 of land and mining claims and $250,000 of mining related buildings, machinery and equipment. The realization of our investment in land and mining claims and mining related buildings and equipment is dependent upon various factors, including: our success in exploration efforts to discover additional mineral resources and in proving the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the identified mineral resources, and our ability to obtain necessary funding to continue exploration of the mining properties and to finance operations.

In December 2005, Dimeling, Schreiber & Park Reorganization Fund II, LP agreed to purchase $2.5 million in convertible debentures contingent upon creditors holding more than 50% of our outstanding indebtedness agreeing to settle such outstanding amounts. The funds are held in escrow by our legal counsel and are dispersed by the escrow agent to pay creditors as they individually agree with us and to pay legal, accounting and other consulting fees. The debentures automatically convert into common stock at $0.25 per share immediately upon shareholder approval of certain amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, including a decrease in the par value. The minimum level of acceptances with creditors has been reached. In the event that the shareholders do not approve such amendments, the debentures will become immediately due and payable.

Richard R. Schreiber			A principal of Dimeling, Schreiber & Park, a private investment partnership that makes private equity investments in a broad range of middle market companies.

Our Board of Directors does not currently possess standing nominating, audit or compensation committees. All functions generally performed by these committees are carried out by the full Board of Directors. There have not been any material changes to the procedures by which our security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

Independent Consultants

We do not currently have any employees. We do, however, utilize independent consultants for matters regarding mining explorations and surveys. Our independent consultants cover the full spectrum of mine exploration, development and operations. All are extremely capable and have considerable mining experience. The following details the experience of these consultants:

B. Mountford, P. Eng., is a mining engineer with over 35 years of experience and expertise in all aspects of mining. He has been a principal in several projects that were developed from drill indicated targets through to operating mines. Relevant in the U.S.A. are the Montana Tunnels Mine in Montana, Pinson and Pebble in Nevada and Gilt Edge in South Dakota. Most recently he was President of Northern Dynasty Mines, the developer of the Pebble project in Alaska.

D. Barratt, P. Eng., is a senior consultant engineer specializing in metallurgy. He has over 35 years of experience and has provided services to many major and intermediate mining companies throughout the world.

R.H. Sillitoe, Ph.D., is a world renowned consulting economic geologist, the winner of numerous awards for merit and achievement. He travels extensively for most major mining companies and several government agencies. His services are widely sought and his opinions have considerable weight.

B. Ainsworth, P. Eng., is an ex Vice-President of Exploration for Placer-Dome. Currently, he provides geological expertise and experience to a select group of clients. Of particular relevance in his work for us is his experience in the mining and marketing of clays, including halloysite.

D. Jenkins, P. Geo., is also an ex Placer Dome Senior Geologist. He has been directly involved in many grass root projects that were developed into mines. Mr. Jenkins provides us with specific expertise in vein and replacement ore deposition, both of which categorize the Tintic mineralization.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the equity securities of the Company (‘‘Reporting Persons’’) to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, Reporting Persons are required to furnish us with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5. Our directors and executive officers, Richard R. Schreiber and Steven G. Park, are Reporting Persons who must file reports of ownership and changes in ownership. In addition, Dimeling, Schreiber & Park Reorganization Fund II, LP, our stockholder and Dimeling, Schreiber & Park, the general partner of Dimeling, Schreiber & Park Reorganization Fund II, LP, must file Forms 3, 4 and 5 as persons who own more than ten percent of the Company’s equity securities. These insiders are delinquent in filing the Form 3s and 4s noted below.

Each of Dimeling, Schreiber & Park Reorganization Fund II, LP and Dimeling Schreiber & Park, as the general partner of Dimeling, Schreiber & Park Reorganization Fund II, LP, was required to file a Form 3 in December 1999 upon Dimeling, Schreiber & Park Reorganization Fund II, LP’s acquisition of 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s convertible common stock. Both entities were required to report at that time that Dimeling, Schreiber & Park Reorganization Fund II, LP’s held a right to purchase an additional 5,000,000 shares of convertible common stock, which expired on December 31, 2002. Dimeling, Schreiber & Park also held a warrant for 8,500,000 shares of the Company’s convertible common stock, which expired on December 31, 2004, but the warrant only became exercisable upon the occurrence of certain future conditions (other than the passage of time); therefore, it was not required to be reported on Form 3. Also, Mr. Schreiber and Mr. Park each were required to file filed a Form 3 at that time. In December 1999, Mr. Schreiber was a director of the Company and a general partner in Dimeling, Schreiber & Park. Mr. Park was not a director of the Company in December 1999, but was deemed to beneficially own the securities held by Dimeling, Schreiber & Park Reorganization Fund II, LP through his position as a general partner of Dimeling, Schreiber & Park. Mr. Park became a director in October 2001.

In 2001, the Company sold shares of unregistered common stock to accredited investors in a private placement. In connection with the private placement, Dimeling, Schreiber & Park (for its own account and not for the account of Dimeling, Schreiber & Park Reorganization Fund II, LP) entered into separate agreements with the purchasers of the shares which gave the purchasers the right at a later date and for a limited time to require Dimeling, Schreiber & Park to purchase from the purchasers the shares that the purchasers bought from the Company during the private placement at price of $2 per share. At the time of these agreements, Dimeling, Schreiber & Park was required to file Form 4s noting this obligation to buy the shares of Company common stock. Messrs. Schreiber and Park were also required to file Form 4s. Dimeling, Schreiber & Park notified the purchasers, however, that it was unable to meet its obligations under the put agreements. On March 10, 2005, the obligations under the put agreements were extinguished under a global settlement agreement by the Company with the purchasers and other creditors. The purchasers holding the put rights were paid a total of $815,260 to extinguish Dimeling, Schreiber & Park’s obligations to buy the shares. No shares were purchased. Dimeling, Schreiber & Park and Messrs. Schreiber and Park were required to file a Form 4 at that time.

Dimeling, Schreiber & Park Reorganization Fund II, LP also received stock dividends equal to 280,000 shares of convertible common stock on each of December 31, 2000 and December 31, 2001. Although stock dividends are not generally reportable under Section 16, the Reporting Persons were required to report these acquisitions because Dimeling, Schreiber & Park Reorganization Fund II, LP is the only holder of convertible common stock and thus the only stockholder to receive stock dividends. In addition, dividends in arrears are owed to Dimeling, Schreiber & Park Reorganization Fund II, LP as a stock dividend on its holdings of convertible common stock. The Reporting Persons should have reported stock dividends amounting to 437,372 shares, 404,974 shares, 374,976 shares, 347,200 shares, and 280,000 shares during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002 respectively.

Mr. Schreiber received an option to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock on June 11, 2001. Mr. Park received an option to purchase 60,000 shares of common stock on October 16, 2001. These option grants were required to be reported by each of Mr. Schreiber and Mr. Park on Form 4 at that time.

As of May 9, 2007, all delinquent Form 3s and Form 4s have been filed.

Code of Ethics

The Board of Directors has not adopted a corporate code of conduct and ethics because we have not had operations or employees since 2002. The Board of Directors will adopt a code of conduct and ethics and will disclose this code of conduct and ethics in the reports filed or submitted to the SEC and post a copy on our website as soon as practicable following the initiation of our operations.

Item 12.	Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

Except as set forth below, since January 1, 2004, there has not been, nor is there currently propsoed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or are a party in wich:


	•	the amounts involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 or 1% of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last three fiscal years; and


	•	a director, executive officer, holder of more than 5% of our Common Stock or Convertible Common Stock or any member of their immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

In December 2005, we issued and sold convertible debentures in the amount of $2.5 million to Dimeling, Schreiber and Park. The debentures accrue interest at an annual rate of 8%, payable at the time

of conversion in additional shares of common stock. The fixed conversion price is $0.25 per share. The debentures automatically convert into shares of common stock at the rate of 4,000 shares for each $1,000 principal amount upon the approval by the shareholders of certain amendments to the Articles of Incorporation, including a change in par value and increase in authorized capital.

Dimeling Schreiber and Park placed $2.5 million in escrow during December 2005. The funds remain in escrow until such time that we received creditor acceptances (repayment on a negotiated basis, or compromise offer) representing 50% of the outstanding aggregate unsecured amounts owed. As of the date of this report, the minimum level of creditor acceptances has been reached. The funds remain in escrow, however, as a practical method of paying creditors and other expenses, as we do not currently have any employees to disburse the funds. In the event that the shareholders fail to approve the certain amendments to the Articles of Incorporation, the convertible debentures will become immediately due and payable.

Director Independence

The Company is not listed as an issuer, on any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system that requires that the majority of the board of directors be independent. For the purposes of compliance with applicable securities rules, the following describes the independence standards required by a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., and assesses whether our directors and director nominees, Richard R. Schreiber and Steven G. Park, would be considered to be independent directors under Nasdaq’s independence standards were they so required.

The majority of the directors on the board of directors of a newly public company listed on Nasdaq must be independent. An independent director is ‘‘a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the [company]’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.’’ Under Nasdaq Rule 4200, an independent director may not (1) have been employed by the company or its subsidiaries or parent company during the preceding three years; (2) have received, or had a family member that received, compensation in excess of $60,000 from the company during any twelve month period during the preceding three years (other than for board or committee services, benefits under a retirement plan or payments to a family member who is a non-executive employee of the company); (3) have had a family member that was an executive officer of the company during the preceding three years; (4) have received from or given to the company during the current and three preceding years, either directly or through family members or entities under his control, any property or services totaling the greater of $200,000 or 5% of the recipient’s gross revenues for that year, unless the payments arose from investments in the company’s securities or a non-discretionary charitable contribution matching program; (5) be employed or have been employed during the last three years, or have a family member who is employed or was employed, as an executive officer of another company where any of the issuer’s executive officers sat on the compensation committee; or (6) be or have a family member who is a partner at the company’s outside auditor or was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor who worked on the company’s audit at any time during the preceding three years. Share ownership in the company by itself will not disqualify a director from being independent.

Neither Mr. Schreiber nor Mr. Park is independent under Nasdaq standards. Both Mr. Schreiber and Mr. Park are acting executive officers of the Company. In addition, Nasdaq requires that all members of the audit, nominating and compensation committees of the board of directors be independent. The Company does not have an audit, nominating or compensation committee at this time. The functions generally performed by these committees are carried out by Mr. Schreiber and Mr. Park.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Chief Consolidated Mining Company

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chief Consolidated Mining Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chief Consolidated Mining Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has little unrestricted cash, has a working capital deficiency and a capital deficiency, has incurred significant losses from operations, and has significant reclamation and EPA settlement obligations and environmental contingencies that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND INVESTMENTS

Chief Consolidated Mining Company (‘‘Chief’’) was incorporated in the state of Arizona in 1909. Chief currently is the owner of or has vested interests in approximately 16,000 acres of patented mining property in the Tintic Mining Districts in Utah County and Juab County, Utah. Chief and its subsidiaries (collectively, the ‘‘Company’’) operate as a mineral resource company seeking to engage in the exploration and development of their mining claims and properties.

Tintic Utah Metals Joint Venture – The Company owns a 75% interest in Tintic Utah Metals LLC (‘‘Tintic’’). The Company’s Burgin Mine and the Tintic Mill are located on property owned by Tintic. The Company had an option to purchase the 25% minority interest for $3 million; however, that option expired unexercised on December 31, 2002. During the portion of the option period from October 1, 1998 to December 31, 2002, the Company advanced $7,544,776 to Tintic. The advances were eliminated on consolidation and the investment in the land and mining claims was included in the impairment loss recognized during 2002.

Central Standard Consolidated Mines – The Company owns approximately 23% percent of the outstanding capital stock of Central Standard Consolidated Mines (‘‘Central Standard’’). Central Standard’s mining property consists of 320 acres located in the north-central portion of the East Tintic Mining District and is surrounded by property owned by Tintic. On October 4, 2000, the Boards of Directors of Chief and Central Standard approved an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the ‘‘Merger’’) between Central Standard and Chief Gold Mines, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chief. The Merger was subject to the approval of the shareholders of Central Standard by September 30, 2002, but was never submitted to the shareholders for their approval. Since the Merger was not completed by September 30, 2002, the proposed merger transaction was terminated and had no effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 — RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During 2007, the Company made adjustments in its financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, related to reclassifying the loss from the EPA settlement from extraordinary item to other income (expense), and recording and carrying the EPA settlement obligation at face value (undiscounted) with no accretion expense. The Company has restated its 2005 and 2004 financial statements for the effects of these adjustments. The following tables summarize the effect of the restatement on the 2005 and 2004 financial statements:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The estimated amount of the reclamation and EPA settlement obligations are particularly subject to change in the near term.

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority owned subsidiaries. The Company’s 23% investment in Central Standard was accounted for using the equity method and was impaired to zero during the year ended December 31, 2002. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Restricted Cash Held in Escrow – Dimeling Schreiber and Park placed $2.5 million in escrow during December 2005 upon the Company issuing to them $2,500,000 of convertible debentures, as further described in Note 10. The funds will remain in escrow until such time the Company has receipt of creditor acceptances (repayment on a negotiated basis, or compromise offer) representing 50% of the outstanding aggregate unsecured amounts owed. The Company satisfied this requirement in July 2006 and, accordingly, the restricted cash was classified as a current asset at December 31, 2005.

Land and Mining Claims – Land and mining claims are recorded at the lower of cost, less accumulated depletion, or fair value. Costs of developing mining properties (after completion of exploration) are capitalized. Exploration costs are expensed as incurred until the establishment of a commercially minable deposit or reserve which can be economically and legally produced. When a mining property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs are amortized using the units of production method on the basis of proven and probable ore reserves. The Company’s mining properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any losses are charged to operations at the time of impairment.

Buildings, Machinery and Equipment – Buildings, machinery and equipment are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. Major additions and improvements are capitalized while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not increase the useful lives of the assets are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of buildings, machinery and equipment has been computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 3 years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – The Company accounts for long-lived assets pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. The Company evaluates its land and mineral properties, buildings, machinery and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment and assesses their recoverability based upon anticipated future cash flows. If changes in circumstances lead Company management to believe that any of its long-lived assets may be impaired, the carrying value of long-lived assets are reduced by the estimated excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the assets.

Reclamation Costs – The Company provides for reclamation costs and penalties for the retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets. Reclamation liabilities are accrued based on estimates of known environmental exposure in conjunction with feasibility studies and are accreted over the estimated life of the assets.

Income Taxes – The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires that income tax accounts be computed using the liability method. Deferred taxes are determined based upon the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial

statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards given the provisions of currently enacted tax laws.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The carrying amount of the convertible debentures, the reclamation obligation and the EPA settlement obligation approximates fair value. The estimated fair values have been determined using market information regarding interest and discount rates.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share – Basic loss per common share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options were exercised or convertible common stock was converted into common stock. The computation of diluted loss per common share does not assume exercise or conversion of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on net loss per common share.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were outstanding options to purchase 245,000 and 695,000 shares of common stock, respectively, which were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share. In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, there were 4,060,000 shares of convertible common stock outstanding that were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share calculation. These potential common shares were excluded because they were antidilutive and would have decreased diluted loss per common share.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments – an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140 (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and related interpretations. SFAS 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to recognition as liabilities. SFAS 155 eliminates the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS 155 is effective for the Company for all financial instruments acquired or issued beginning July 1, 2007. The impact of adoption of this statement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, if any, has not yet been determined.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 140). SFAS 156 amends SFAS 140 requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset. It also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. SFAS 156 permits an entity to use either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 is effective for the Company as of July 1, 2007. The impact of adoption of this statement on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, if any, has not yet been determined.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The interpretation is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The impact of adoption of this interpretation on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, if any, has not yet been determined.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about

F-9

CHIEF CONSOLIDATED MINING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

fair value measurements. SFAS 157 will be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Business Conditions – The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As of December 31, 2005, the Company had $950,000 of land and mining claims and $250,000 of mining related buildings, machinery and equipment, which in aggregate, represent approximately 29% of total assets. The Company’s buildings, machinery and equipment consist principally of the Tintic Mill located at the Trixie mine. The realization of the Company’s investment in land and mining claims and mining related buildings, machinery and equipment is dependent upon various factors, including the outcome of: (i) the Company’s success in exploration efforts to discover additional mineral resources and in proving the technical feasibility and commercial viability of the identified mineral resources, (ii) the Company’s ability to obtain necessary funding to continue exploration of the mining properties and to finance operations while the Company pursues real estate development alternatives for portions of the Company’s land, (iii) the Company’s success in finding a joint venture partner to provide capital funding for the Company’s continued exploration of its mining properties, (iv) the Company’s ability to profitably lease the Tintic Mill or its mining claims to outside entities, and (v) the Company’s success in selling or developing certain of its land surface rights to fund its continued mining and exploration activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company began mining ore from the Trixie Mine and began processing ore in the Company’s Tintic Mill in January 2002. On March 28, 2002, the Company encountered unstable mining conditions and suspended mining and processing operations. As a result of the suspended mining and processing operations, the Company is not generating ongoing revenues and did not have sufficient funding to make the significant safety improvements required in the Trixie Mine or to continue exploration efforts related to the Burgin Mine.

During 2002, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) completed a study and finalized its actions to be taken in response to the release of waste materials at and around the Eureka Mills Superfund Site located in Juab County, Utah. The EPA is seeking reimbursement from the Company in the amount of $60 million for its portion of the liability based on the ownership and the conduct of mining operations on portions of the site. During 2005, the Company reached a settlement agreement with the EPA regarding the judgment, as discussed more fully in Note 9.

These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company not be able to continue as a going concern.

The Board of Directors is currently pursuing efforts to obtain additional sources of financing to allow the Company to proceed with its operations. The Company is also investigating selling portions of its land surface rights in order to comply with the EPA Consent Decree.

NOTE 4 — CAPITALIZATION

Redeemable Convertible Common Stock – At December 31, 2001, the Company had outstanding 3,500,000 shares of redeemable convertible common stock that carried a dividend rate of 8 percent, which dividends were payable in non-redeemable convertible common stock of the Company (based on the number of issued redeemable convertible common shares). The dividend shares were issuable on an annual basis. The Company accrued an 8 percent in-kind convertible common stock dividend, or 92,821 shares of convertible common stock through May 1, 2002. The dividend shares are valued based on the average market price of the common stock during the period, and amount to $89,108, or $0.96 per share.

F-10

CHIEF CONSOLIDATED MINING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The discount on the 3,500,000 redeemable convertible common shares was being amortized on a straight-line basis utilizing the difference between the carrying value at the date of issuance and the redemption price of $7,000,000 that was due December 1, 2003. The straight-line basis was assumed to reasonably approximate the effective interest method. The Company recognized $324,624 of accretion during 2002.

Dimeling, Schreiber & Park (‘‘DS&P’’), acting as the general partner of Dimeling, Schreiber & Park Reorganization Fund II, LP, was the sole stockholder of the Company’s redeemable convertible common stock. On May 1, 2002, DS&P relinquished its right to require the Company to redeem all or part of its redeemable convertible common stock. After the redemption requirement was relinquished, the shares were reclassified into stockholders’ equity as convertible common stock, convertible into common stock on a 1-for-1 basis; however, they continue to accumulate dividends of 8 percent per annum as disclosed above.

Convertible Common Stock – Through December 31, 2001, the Company had issued 560,000 shares of convertible common stock in payment of dividends on the redeemable convertible common stock. The convertible common stock carries a dividend rate of 8 percent, payable in-kind with shares of convertible common stock. The terms of the convertible common stock require that the Company shall not declare dividends on the common stock as long as the convertible common stock is outstanding. DS&P shall have a preemptive right to purchase new issuances of securities of the Company before any other investors, not to include certain issuances including securities issued in any public offering or a merger.

Dividends accrue on the convertible common stock at the rate of 8% per annum and are payable in-kind with convertible common shares, and amounted to 404,974 shares and 374,976 shares during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The in-kind dividends were valued based on the average market price of the common stock during the period and resulted in recognizing $113,393 and $112,493 of convertible common stock dividends during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. No further dividends will be paid if DS&P’s ownership of all classes of common stock increases to 68%. As of December 31, 2005 DS&P’s actual ownership totaled 27.76% and ownership including dividends in arrears totaled 37.18%.

Preferred Stock – The Board of Directors of the Company authorized the issuance of common stock in exchange for preferred stock on a share-for-share basis if elected by the preferred stockholders. Preferred shares obtained by the Company in the exchange are retired. During 2005 and 2004, no preferred shares were exchanged for common shares.

The shares of preferred stock and common stock of the Company have equal right to receive dividends, to vote, and in all other respects except that upon liquidation of the Company the preferred shares are entitled to a preferential payment of $0.50 per share.

NOTE 5 — STOCK OPTIONS

The Company applies APB Opinion 25 (APB 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans as they relate to employees and directors. No employee or director options were granted or vested during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and no compensation was recognized either under the intrinsic value method of APB 25 or under the fair value method of SFAS 123.

Incentive Stock Options – At December 31, 2005, no stock options remain outstanding under the incentive stock option plan.

Nonqualified Stock Options – From time to time, the shareholders have approved the issuance of nonqualified stock options to officers and directors. The Board of Directors also issued nonqualified stock options to key employees, to non-employees for services rendered and to a creditor as part of a

F-11

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

settlement of a claim in prior years. The nonqualified stock options have various vesting options and must be exercised within ten years or less from the date of grant unless sooner terminated by their terms.

During 2000, the Board of Directors approved the granting of nonqualified stock options for the purchase of 20,000 shares of common stock to a key employee of Tintic. These options have an exercise price of $2.19 per share. However, the exercise price was lower than the market price of the stock on the day the Company granted options. As a result, the Company recognized $21,250 of deferred compensation for the difference between the option price and the market price. This deferred compensation was being amortized over the three year vesting period. On April 1, 2002 the employee left the Company, thus no additional shares would vest. The unamortized compensation cost of $11,220 was removed through additional paid-in capital. No options were granted for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. A summary of the status of the nonqualified stock options at December 31, 2005 and 2004 and related changes during the years then ended is as follows:


	Options		Average Exercise Price			Average Remaining Life (Years)		Range of Exercise Prices
Balance, December 31, 2003		770,000		$	2.56		6.16		$	2.19 – 3.50

The Internal Revenue Code contains provisions that reduce or limit the availability and utilization of net operating loss carryforwards if certain changes in ownership have taken place or will take place. Changes in the ownership of the Company may have resulted in limitations on all pre-existing net operating loss carryforwards of the Company. As a result, management estimates that all of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be limited to utilization of an annual amount not to exceed the value of the Company on the date the Company exceeded the specified levels of allowable changes in ownership multiplied by the Federal long-term tax-exempt rate at that date. If the annual limited amount is unutilized in any particular year, it remains available on a cumulative basis through the expiration date of the applicable net operating loss carryforwards.

NOTE 7 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has amounts payable to Dimeling, Schreiber & Park in the amount of $264,481 and $99,298 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively and owes Dimeling, Schreiber & Park $2,500,000 at December 31, 2005 under the terms of convertible debentures payable. A representative of Dimeling, Schreiber & Park is management of the Company. In addition, the Company has accrued payroll liabilities in the amount of $99,996 to former employees for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

NOTE 8 — NOTES PAYABLE

On February 9, 2002, the Company entered into a $300,000 promissory note, bearing interest at 8% per annum payable quarterly, due one year from the date of the note. In conjunction with the promissory note, the Company issued warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of the Company’s stock at an exercise price of $2.75. The exercise price was equal to the market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. In accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios, and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, the $300,000 of proceeds were allocated $269,250 to the note payable and $30,750 to the warrants based on their relative fair values and the resulting discount on the note is being amortized over the one year term of the note. The effective interest rate was 19.5%. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had not made the required interest payments and was in default on the terms of the note. The Company remains in default under the terms of the note through December 31, 2005.

On April 15, 2002, the Company converted an account payable of $63,000 into a note payable at 12% interest rate that compounds monthly, requiring monthly payments of $10,000 beginning on May 15, 2002 until October 15, 2002, when the entire unpaid balance of principal and accrued interest became due and payable. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had not made any of the required payments and was in default on the terms of the note. The Company remains in default under the terms of the note through December 31, 2005.

On June 30, 2002, the Company converted an account payable of $104,627 into a note payable at an interest rate of 8% per annum, with payments of principal and interest required the first day of each month beginning July 1, 2002 through December 1, 2002 when the entire balance of principal and interest was due. The note is secured by various equipment of the Company. As of December 31, 2002, the Company was not current on the required interest and principal payments and was therefore in default on the terms of the note. During 2002, one piece of equipment securing the indebtedness was sold with the net proceeds of $9,500 applied to the balance of the note. The Company remains in default under the terms of the note through December 31, 2005.

Notes payable are summarized as follows at December 31, 2005 and 2004:


	2005			2004
$300,000 unsecured note payable to an individual, 8% interest, matured February 9, 2003, in default		$	286,835		$	286,835

Total notes payable		$	424,014		$	424,014

NOTE 9 — ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

Reclamation of Mines – On January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations which provides accounting requirements for retirement obligations associated with tangible long-lived assets, including: the timing of liability recognition, initial measurement of the liability, allocation of asset retirement cost to expense, subsequent measurement of the liability and financial statement disclosures. The implementation of SFAS No. 143 resulted in a cumulative effect on prior years of the change in accounting principle of $33,348. The effect was recorded during the first quarter of 2003 as a decrease in net loss.

Prior to 1993, the Company and or companies that were subsequently acquired by the Company leased certain of its mining properties to other companies for operation, exploration and development.

F-14

CHIEF CONSOLIDATED MINING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Under the terms of the leases, these other companies were obligated to comply with all federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations affecting the mining industry. Tintic has assumed a reclamation obligation from the previous operator of the Burgin Mine. In addition, the Company also holds a small mining permit and reclamation obligation in connection with its Chief Gold properties.

The Company has cash held in escrow in the form of reclamation bonds with the State of Utah to settle the obligations when all mining efforts have been abandoned. All interest income on the bonds is currently being garnished by the Internal Revenue Service to cover certain taxes, penalties, and interest included in accrued liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet. Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 143, the Company had accrued reclamation costs of $450,200 and had placed funds in bonds held with the State of Utah totaling $450,200 at December 31, 2002.

Environmental Protection Agency Settlement – During 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’) proposed to place what the agency has titled the ‘‘Eureka Mills Superfund Site’’ (the ‘‘Site’’) on the National Priorities List, as authorized under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (‘‘CERCLA’’). According to the EPA, samples indicate that the soil in the Town of Eureka, Utah is contaminated with lead and, to a lesser extent, arsenic. The Site consists of approximately 150 acres in the town of Eureka, Utah.

On October 18, 2002 the EPA finalized its actions to be taken in response to the release of waste materials at and around the Site. The EPA is seeking reimbursement from the Company for its portion of the liability based on the ownership and the conduct of mining operations on portions of the Site. On February 9, 2005, the Company agreed to a judgment with the EPA in the amount of $60 million. The judgment will remain in effect until the Company has complied with all the requirements of the related consent decree. The following details the Company’s obligations under the judgment:


	1.	The Company agrees to use its best efforts to satisfy the judgment by seeking indemnification or recovery from insurance policies. After deducting recovery costs, 70% of all proceeds from insurance policies shall be paid to the United States. Until all claims are exhausted, the Company must provide a report to the United States each year for five years listing insurance claims, the action the Company is taking to recover the amounts, and any recovery obtained.


	2.	The Company agrees to use its best efforts to sell property comprising approximately 6,000 acres, most of which is located north of Highway 6 in both Utah County and Juab County, Utah. Upon the transfer of any such property, the Company shall pay the EPA 100% of net sales proceeds up to $350,000, and then 50% thereafter. If the transfer is less than the tax assessed value of the property or exceeds a total of more than 1,000 acres, the EPA may require an independent appraisal and may object to the transfer based on the sale price. If any portion of such property is not sold by the fifth anniversary of this decree, the Company agrees to auction the property to the highest bidder, engaging a professional auctioneer. The Company cannot hold a mortgage or other security interest from any purchaser.


	3.	The Company agrees, for a five year period from the date of the consent decree, to reimburse the United States 15% of its net income in excess of $2 million during any calendar year. The Company also agrees to pay the US 15% of the net proceeds of the sale of Chief Consolidated Mining Company or the sale of substantially all of its assets in excess of $2 million. The Company will be required to present audited financial statements to the EPA.


	4.	The Company agrees to allow the EPA sole use of borrowed material (top soil, fill and base material) that is free from contaminants. The Company agrees to give uninterrupted and continuous access to the borrowed source 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Company shall allow the EPA to use and improve the borrowed source as is necessary to fulfill its purposes.

F-15

CHIEF CONSOLIDATED MINING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


	5.	The Company agrees to allow the EPA an irrevocable right to access, construct, operate, and close the repository and the property. The Company further grants the EPA the right to access, construct, and operate the two open cells on the property for the permanent disposal of waste material excavated from the site.


	6.	The Company agrees to allow the EPA to enter onto the property to construct and maintain such response action structures as are necessary to implement the response actions. The land will have an easement for the EPA to inspect, maintain, and operate the structure.


	7.	The Company agrees to provide storage space and water as needed.


	8.	The Company agrees to allow additional access as needed for various purposes as needed.

In the event the Company completes all of its obligations under the consent decree, the EPA will file a Release of Notice of Federal Lien in the office of the Juab County Recorder and the Company will be completely relieved of the $60 million liability, resulting in a gain in such future period. To date, the Company has fully complied with all terms of the agreement.

The judgment amount of $60 million represents the future value of clean up costs when the terms of the consent decree are satisfied on February 9, 2010. The Company elected to adopt SFAS 5 and SOP 96-1 during the year ended December 31, 2002 with respect to the EPA settlement obligation. The Company recognized the face value (undiscounted) of the liability and there will be no accretion expense in the future.

A reconciliation of the asset retirement obligations is as follows:


	EPA Liability			Other			Total
Balance, December 31, 2003		$	60,000,000		$	450,200		$	60,450,200
Accretion expense			—			36,016			36,016
Balance, December 31, 2004			60,000,000			486,216			60,486,216
Accretion expense			—			2,084			2,084
Balance, December 31, 2005		$	60,000,000		$	488,300		$	60,488,300

NOTE 10 — CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

During December 2005, the Board resolved to issue convertible debentures in the amount of $2.5 million to Dimeling, Schreiber and Park. The debentures accrue interest at an annual rate of 8%, payable at the time of conversion in additional shares of common stock. The conversion price is $0.25 per share. The debentures automatically convert into shares of common stock at the rate of 4,000 shares for each $1,000 principal amount upon the approval of the shareholders of certain amendments to the Articles of Incorporation. Under APB 14, none of the proceeds were attributable to the conversion feature.

Dimeling Schreiber and Park placed $2.5 million in escrow during December 2005. The funds will remain in escrow until such time the Company has receipt of creditor acceptances (repayment on a negotiated basis, or compromise offer) representing 50% of the outstanding aggregate unsecured amounts owed. The Company satisfied this requirement in July 2006.

Less: Accumulated depreciation			(335,778	)			(186,734	)
Net buildings, machinery and equipment		$	250,000			$	418,787

Land and mining claims include (1) land owned by our wholly-owned subsidiaries American Star Mining Co.; Chief Consolidate Mining Company; Chief Gold Mines; Eagle and Blue Bell Mining Co.; East Crown Point Mining Co.; Eureka Mines Co.; and Tintic Utah Metals; (2) land owned by Central Standard Consolidated Mining Co.; (3) the Tintic Ranch Millsite; and (4) Section 14, T14S, R3W SLBM.

Depreciation expense was $168,787 and $168,787 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. After the impairment analysis, the remaining machinery and equipment was determined to have a remaining useful life of 3 years and was fully depreciated as of December 31, 2005. During 2002, the mill was impaired to its salvage value and has not been in operation since operations discontinued during 2002. The Company disposed of and wrote off fully depreciated assets of $19,743 and $45,528 during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Company recovers its costs using SFAS 144. In 2002, approximately 19,000 acres of land that we either owned or had vested interests in was valued at $50 per acre. Giving effect to subsequent dispositions of land pursuant to tax sales, relinquishment of mining claims and other transfers of property, the Company currently owns or has vested interests in approximately 16,000 acres of land.

NOTE 12 — IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS

As of September 30, 2002, management determined that buildings, machinery and equipment, and land and mineral properties were impaired due to sustained operating losses, the Company’s inability to continue mining operations and a down-turn in the economy. Management determined the fair value of land and mineral properties based on market values of comparable real estate. The fair value of buildings, machinery and equipment were determined based on prices of similar assets. A loss of $2,115,214 was recorded for impairment of buildings, machinery and equipment, including the mill, mill-related assets and costs related to the dewatering of the Burgin mine. A loss of $1,635,587 was recorded for impairment of land and mineral properties.

During 2002, the Company also determined its equity investment in Central Standard Consolidated Mines was impaired due to Central Standard ceasing operations during 2002. The Company recognized an impairment loss on its equity investment in Central Standard of $129,294 during the year ended December 31, 2002.
