On February 15, 2012, Bluestone purchased a 60% equity interest in Sulfatos Chile from Santa Teresa Minerals S.A., a Chilean corporation ("Santa Teresa Minerals"). The purchase price for the equity interest was: (a) a 20% interest in Bluestone; (b) $2.2 million, with $1.1 million paid by assumption of a demand loan payable by Santa Teresa Minerals to Angelique de Maison, and the balance of $1.1 million to be paid in monthly installments from time to time upon demand by Santa Teresa Minerals. As of September 30, 2012, the entire purchase price had been paid. Santa Teresa Minerals’ 20% interest in Bluestone has been cancelled, and Bluestone is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

At the time of the Sulfatos Acquisition, Bluestone was an affiliate of Santa Teresa Minerals because substantially all of the equity interests of Bluestone were owned by Juan Carlos Camus Villegas and Angelique de Maison, who were officers and/or directors of Santa Teresa Minerals and its parent holding company and were principal shareholders of the parent holding company.

The Sulfatos Acquisition has been treated as a "purchase" for financial reporting purposes. Because the Sulfatos Acquisition was between related parties, the purchase price has been allocated to additional paid-in capital and the assets and liabilities were carried over at historical costs. Results of operations for Sulfatos have been reflected in the Company's financial statements from the closing date.
