2. BACKGROUND

 

On March 23, 2012, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Placer Gold Prospecting, Inc. (Placer), a Company that was formed on January 25, 2012. This share exchange agreement was treated as a reverse recapitalization, under which the legal acquiree (Placer) was treated as the accounting acquiror and the equity accounts of the Company were adjusted to reflect a reorganization. Inasmuch as Placer was treated as the accounting acquiror, whenever historical financial information is presented, it is Placer information.

 

On May 3, 2013, the Company formed a subsidiary in Baja, California, to exploit a mining claim acquired by the subsidiary.  It remained inactive until June 1, 2013 at which time it became operational, on a limited basis.  A problem with the mining permit caused suspension of mining activity in May 2014.  The Company is working to resolve that problem.
