Furthermore, ninety (90) days following the payment of the Western Sierra Note, VHGI will issue to Western Sierra an additional 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock; however, at least ten (10) days prior, either the Company may elect to pay, or Western Sierra may elect to receive, $250,000 in lieu of VHGI’s issuing Western Sierra shares of common stock. In addition, the Company will pay Western Sierra a royalty of 2% of gross sales of processed gold from the mining claims during any calendar quarter.

The value of the issued shares, which were initially recorded as a deposit, has been recorded as an increase in the value of the mining lease rights in the amount of $550,000. The principal balance owed on the initial Western Sierra Note was paid in full in October 2010. On September 8, 2010, the Company negotiated the terms for the final payment due to Western Sierra under the Mining Agreement mentioned above and a second promissory note was issued to Western Sierra by the Company in the principal amount of $240,000, which has been recorded as an increase in the value of the mining lease rights. This principal balance of the second promissory note was paid in full during the first quarter of 2011. In addition, during the first quarter of 2011, the Sun Gold group of mines was increased from 4 claims to 28 claims for a cost of $4,536. Although these claims have no significant prior mining activity, they provide value to our existing claims by enlarging the holdings, allowing us to best utilize the resources on and around the original claims. The balance of the mining lease rights as of September 30, 2011, including these additions, is $1,529,536.
