Promissory Notes | Notes Payable Series I In April and May, 2013, the Company entered into note agreements with individual shareholders in the principal amount of $1,495,000, of which $340,000 was then converted to Series B Preferred shares within the same year, netting to proceeds of $1,155,000 (the Series I Notes Series I). The Series I Notes bear simple interest at twelve and a half percent (12.5%), accrued interest for twelve months, and with the accrued interest to be added to the principal, and then interest to be paid by the Company, quarterly in arrears. The holders of the Series I Notes (in aggregate) are also entitled to receive ten percent (10%) of the net profits received by the Company, and generated from the bulk sampling material (if any, and up to fifty thousand tonnes) processed through the existing, or improved mill facilities at San Jose de Gracia. Such net profits (if any) are to be calculated after deducting all expenses related to the processing of the bulk sample material, and after a prior deduction of thirty three percent (33%) from the profits, to be deposited in a sinking fund cash reserve. This net profit percentage (if any) would be paid quarterly in arrears based on the profits generated (if any) for the prior quarter. At the time of the Series I Notes, there were no proven or probable reserves and the Company had not produced any net profits. Consequently, the fair value of the net profits interest on the date of the Series I Note was deemed to be zero. Further, no payments have been made under the terms of this codicil. The Notes originally matured on December 31, 2015. In April, 2015, the notes were extended to December 31, 2016.
