Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On July 6, 2010, we entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Dalton Dupasquier, pursuant to which Mr. Dupasquier has granted to us the sole and exclusive right and option (the “Option”), exercisable in the manner described below, to acquire a 100% net undivided interest in the property known as the Zoro 1 mineral property (the “Zoro 1 Property”).
Under the terms of the Option Agreement, we may exercise the Option by making cash payments to Mr. Dupasquier under the following schedule:
Amount of Payment | Date Payment is Due |
$62,000 | July 6, 2010 |
$100,000 | June 15, 2011 |
$200,000 | June 15, 2012 |
$400,000 | June 15, 2013 |
We have no rights to the Zoro 1 mineral claim unless and until we exercise the Option as provided in the Option Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Option Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Option Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
We acquired the Option to explore the potential for deposits of lithium on the Zoro 1 Property. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), global end-use markets for lithium include ceramics and glass, batteries, lubricating greases, air treatment, continuous casting and primary aluminum production. Batteries, especially rechargeable batteries, are the market for lithium compounds with the largest growth potential as major automobile companies pursue the development of lithium batteries to power hybrid electric cars.
An NI 43-101 Technical Report (the “Technical Report”) was conducted on the Zoro 1 Property by Mark Fedikow, Ph.D., P.Eng., P.Geo., C.P.G, an independent mineral exploration consultant. A copy of the Technical Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The objectives of the Technical report were to summarize the geology, review the historic ore reserves, and economic potential of the spodumene-bearing dykes delineated on the Zoro 1 Property and their surrounding geological environment.
According to the Technical Report, the Zoro 1 Property is 52 hectares in area and is located near the East Shore of Wekusko Lake in west-central Manitoba, Canada.
A historic reserve estimate for Li2O has been calculated on limited drilling on a single dyke on the Zoro 1 property. Drilling indicated reserves coupled with data from trenching have been calculated with a total undiluted tonnage given as 1,727,550 at 0.945% Li2O (lithium oxide). However, the Technical Report indicates that this data was acquired prior to the implementation of NI 43-101 and as such cannot be relied upon for reserve calculation. At best, the reported grade and tonnage should be considered as a historic reserve estimate.

The Technical Report recommends a Phase 1 program of mucking out trenches, channel sampling and sampling of available muck piles and diamond drilling to “provide confirmation of the extent of the pegmatite at depth and along strike and provide the basis for information that will be used to expand diamond drilling and determine a modern day resource for the target.”
The Technical Report concludes by stating, “The Zoro 1 property hosts a near-surface deposit of lithium-bearing pegmatite mineralization that extends over significant distances in one main dyke exposed by multiple trenches and in several localities elsewhere on the property. The deposit has been classified as a rare metal spodumene pegmatite and is ‘open’ in the sense that it has not been adequately explored. In addition, potential exists for the presence of rare metals which have not been assessed by the historic assay program. The deposit is considered to have significant merit but requires additional work.”
We intend to explore for the potential of lithium on the Zoro 1 Property, but have not made any definite plans to do so as of the date of this filing. Management is considering options on how to best go about exploring property.
