Explanatory Note
The purpose of this amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K previously filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on November 22, 2006 is to disclose the response received by the Company from its independent accountant, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, as to whether it agrees with the statements made by the Company in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 22, 2006.
SECTION 4 - Matters related to Accountants and Financial Statements
Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review
On November 20, 2006, the Company was advised by its independent accountant, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, that in its view under GAAP, previously expensed amounts related to recent mineral property acquisitions are required to be capitalized. The Company engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers as its auditor on August 10, 2006 and PricewaterhouseCoopers reviewed the financial statements for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2006 as required by Item 310 of Regulation S-B.
The Company previously accounted for its acquisition of mineral rights during fiscal 2006 by capitalizing mineral rights consistent with SFAS 144 and then subsequently taking an impairment charge against these capitalized rights. Upon further review of the relevant authoritative guidance and discussions with its auditors, the Company has concluded that acquired mineral rights should continue to be reflected on the balance sheet at their historical acquisition costs without any impairment provision.
Authorized officers of the Company have discussed the matters disclosed in this Item 4.02 with its independent accountant, PricewaterhouseCoopers.
As disclosed in the Company’s third quarter 2006 interim report, the Company has recognized $28,988,058 in mineral and exploration properties and rights in the Company’s interim consolidated balance sheet as at September 30, 2006. The Company will restate its financial statements for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2006 and amend its quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended March 31, 2006, its quarterly report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended June 30, 2006, and file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement filed on Form SB-2 (File No. 333-136140). The impact of first and second quarter 2006 financial statement adjustments will be to increase mineral and exploration rights within the Company’s balance sheet at March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 and decrease the Company’s net loss for the interim periods then ended.
On November 22, 2006 the Company provided its independent accountant with its disclosures in this Form 8-K disclosing the non-reliance on previously issued financial statements. The response of the independent accountant is filed as an exhibit to this Amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
