EXPLANATORY NOTE
Mercator Minerals Ltd (the “Company”, the “Registrant” or “Mercator”) is a Canadian issuer eligible to file its registration statement pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Form 40-F pursuant to the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system of the Exchange Act. The Company is a “foreign private issuer” as defined in Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act. Equity securities of the Company are accordingly exempt from Sections 14(a), 14(b), 14(c), 14(f) and 16 of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 3a12-3.
The Division of Enforcement of the SEC commenced an Order Instituting Proceedings against the Company on June 14, 2011 due to the Company’s prior management’s failure to file its periodic reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. On November 7, 2011, the Company consented to an order with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in connection with an administrative proceeding instituted pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act. This resulted in a revocation of the registration of the Company's common shares under the Exchange Act, and restricted any member of a national securities exchange, broker, or dealer in the United States, from effecting transactions in the Company's common shares in the United States. The Company's common shares continue to be traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "ML". The Company is filing this Form 40-F registration statement with the SEC to register its class of common shares under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This registration statement on Form 40-F and the exhibits attached hereto contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements concern our anticipated results and developments in our operations in future periods, planned exploration and development of our properties, plans related to our business and other matters that may occur in the future. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “plans”, “estimates” or “intends”, or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” (or the negative and grammatical variations of any of these terms and similar expressions) be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements.
Statements concerning mineral reserves and mineral resource estimates may also constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization and in the case of mineral reserves reflect conclusions based on certain assumptions that a mineral deposit can be economically exploited.
Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation:
● | risks related to precious and base metal price fluctuations; |
● | risks related to fluctuations in the currency markets (particularly the Mexican Peso, Canadian dollar and United States dollar); |
● | risks related to the inherently dangerous activity of mining, including conditions or events beyond our control, and operating or technical difficulties in mineral exploration, development and mining activities; |
● | uncertainty in the Company’s ability to raise financing and fund the exploration and development of its mineral properties; |
● | uncertainty as to actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns, and uncertainty that development activities will result in profitable mining operations; |
● | risks related to mineral reserves and mineral resource figures being estimates based on interpretations and assumptions which may result in less mineral production under actual conditions than is currently estimated and to diminishing quantities or grades of mineral reserves as properties are mined; |
● | risks related to governmental regulations and obtaining necessary licenses and permits; |
● | risks related to the business being subject to environmental laws and regulations which may increase costs of doing business and restrict our operations; |
● | risks related to mineral properties being subject to prior unregistered agreements, transfers, or claims and other defects in title; |
● | risks relating to inadequate insurance or inability to obtain insurance; |
● | risks related to potential litigation; |
● | risks related to the global economy; |
● | risks related to environmental laws; |
● | risks related to the volatility of the Company’s share price; |
● | risks related to the Company’s limited history of earning and operations; |
● | risks related to some of the Company's properties being located in Mexico, which can lead to difficulty with changes in political conditions and regulations, currency exchange, obtaining financing, finding and hiring qualified people or obtaining all necessary services for the Company's operations in Mexico; |
● | risks related to the Company’s status as a foreign private issuer; and |
● | risks related to officers and directors becoming associated with other natural resource companies which may give rise to conflicts of interests. |
This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. The Company’s forward-looking statements are based on beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
NOTE TO UNITED STATES READERS-
DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES
The Company is permitted, under the multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the SEC, to prepare this registration statement in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements, which differ from those of the United States. The Company prepares its financial statements, which are filed with this registration statement on Form 40-F, in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting practices (“GAAP”), and they are subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards. They are not comparable to financial statements of United States companies. Significant differences between Canadian GAAP and United States GAAP are described in the “U.S. GAAP Reconciliations for Audited Consolidated Annual Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009,” and included as Exhibit 99.5 of this registration statement.
MINERAL RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES
The Company’s Annual Information Form (“AIF”) filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this registration statement on Form 40-F has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101—Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”)—CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in SEC Industry Guide 7 under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report mineral reserves, the three-year historical average price is to be used in any mineral reserve or cash flow analysis to designate mineral reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.
In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into mineral reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral resource estimates do not account for mineability, selectivity, mining loss and dilution. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of contained pounds and ounces in a mineral resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.
Accordingly, information contained in this registration statement and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain descriptions of the Company's mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. In order for Mercator to advance its interests at Mineral Park, El Pilar and El Creston, the projects will be subject to a number of Federal, State and local laws and regulations in the US or Mexico and will require permits to conduct its activities.
CURRENCY
Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts in this registration statement on Form 40-F are in Canadian dollars. The exchange rate of Canadian dollars into United States dollars, on December 30, 2010, based upon the noon buying rate in New York City for cable transfers payable in Canadian dollars as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, was U.S.$1.00 = Cdn.$1.0009.
