1. | MEASUREMENTS AND GLOSSARY |
For ease of reference in reviewing our business, we are providing you with term relate to our business
2. | GLOSSARY OF MINING TERMS |
The following mining terms are used throughout this Form 8-K.
3. | SEC Industry Guide 7 - Definitions | |
Exploration Stage | An “exploration stage” prospect is one which is not in either the development or production stage. | |
Development Stage | A “development stage” project is one which is undergoing preparation of an established Commercially mineable deposit for its extraction but which is not yet in production. This stage occurs after completion of a feasibility study. | |
Mineralized Material | The term “mineralized material” refers to material that is not included in the reserve as it does not meet all of the criteria for adequate demonstration for economic or legal extraction. | |
Probable Reserve | The term “probable reserve” refers to reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven (measured) reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation. | |
Production Stage | A “production stage” project is actively engaged in the process of extraction and beneficiation of mineral reserves to produce a marketable metal or mineral product. | |
Proven Reserve | The term “proven reserve” refers to reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well-established. | |
Reserve | The term “reserve” refers to that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. Reserves must be supported by a feasibility study done to bankable standards that demonstrates the economic extraction. (“Bankable standards” implies that the confidence attached to the costs and achievements developed in the study is sufficient for the project to be eligible for external debt financing.) A reserve includes adjustments to the in-situ tons and grade to include diluting materials and allowances for losses that might occur when the material is mined. |

Dip | The angle that a structural surface, a bedding or fault plane, makes with the horizontal, measured perpendicular to the strike of the structure. | |
Disseminated | Where minerals occur as scattered particles in the rock. |
Electrowinning | Also called electroextraction, is the electrodeposition of metals from their ores that have been put in solution or liquefied. | |
Fault | A surface or zone of rock fracture along which there has been displacement. | |
Feasibility Study | A comprehensive study of a mineral deposit in which all geological, engineering, legal, operating, economic, social, environmental and other relevant factors are considered in sufficient detail that it could reasonably serve as the basis for a final decision by a financial institution to finance the development of the deposit for mineral production. | |
Flotation | Process used for the separation of a large range of sulfides, carbonates and oxides prior to further refinement. | |
Formation | A distinct layer of sedimentary rock of similar composition. | |

PART I
ORGANIZATION WITHIN THE LAST FIVE YEARS
From inception February 6, 2012, Accelerated Acquisitions XVIII, Inc. (now known as Greentech Mining International, Inc.) was organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. Our principal business objectives were to achieve long-term growth potential through a combination with a business rather than immediate, short-term earnings. The Company did not restrict our potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry or geographical location.
On February 6, 2012, the Registrant sold 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Accelerated Venture Partners, LLC for an aggregate investment of $2,000.00. The Registrant sold these shares of Common Stock under the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
On June 26, 2012, Novus Aurum Trust agreed to (“Purchaser”) agreed to acquire 26,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock par value $0.0001 (the “Shares”) for a price of $0.0001 per share. At the same time, Accelerated Venture Partners, LLC agreed to tender 1,500,000 of its 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock par value $0.0001 for cancellation. Following these transactions, Novus Aurum Trust owned 88.33% of the Company’s 30,000,000, issued and outstanding shares of common stock par value $0.0001 and the interest of Accelerated Venture Partners, LLC was reduced to approximately 11.66% of the total issued and outstanding shares. Simultaneously with the share purchase, Timothy Neher resigned as an officer of the Company effective immediately and remained on the Company’s Board of Directors and the Board appointed and elected Matthew Neher as President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and Director of the Company. The Purchaser used its working capital to acquire the Shares. The Purchaser did not borrow any funds to acquire the Shares.
Prior to the purchase of the Shares, the Purchaser was not affiliated with the Company. However, the Purchaser is now deemed an affiliate of the Company as a result of its stock ownership interest in the Company. The purchase of the shares by the Purchaser was completed pursuant to a written Subscription Agreement with the Company. The purchase was not subject to any other terms and conditions other than the sale of the Shares in exchange for the cash payment.
On June 27, 2012 the Company entered into a twelve month Consulting Services Agreement with Accelerated Venture Partners LLC (“AVP”), a company controlled by Timothy Neher that has one other similar agreement within the mining industry. The agreement requires AVP to provide the Company with certain advisory services that include reviewing the Company’s business plan, identifying and introducing prospective financial and business partners, and providing general business advice regarding the Company’s operations and business strategy in consideration of (a) an option granted by the Company to AVP to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.0001 per share (the “AVP Option”) (which was immediately exercised by the holder) subject to a repurchase option granted to the Company to repurchase the shares at a price of $0.0001 per share in the event the Company fails to complete funding within twelve months as detailed in the agreement subject to the following milestones:
· Milestone 1 – | Company’s right of repurchase will lapse with respect to 60% of the shares upon securing $10 million in available cash from funding; |
· Milestone 2 – | Company’s right of repurchase will lapse with respect to 40% of the Shares upon securing $15 million in available cash (inclusive of any amounts attributable to Milestone 1); |
and (b) cash compensation at a rate of $37,500 per month. The payment of such compensation is subject to Company’s achievement of certain designated milestones, specifically, cash compensation of $600,000 is due consultant upon the achievement of Milestone 1, and $300,000 upon the achievement of Milestone 2. Upon achieving each Milestone, the cash compensation is to be paid to consultant in the amount then due at the rate of $37,500 per month. The total cash compensation to be received by the consultant is not to exceed $900,000 unless Company receives an amount of funding in excess of the amount specified in Milestone 2. If the Company receives equity or debt financing that is an amount less than Milestone 1, in between any of the above Milestones or greater than the above Milestones, the cash compensation earned by the Consultant under this Agreement will be prorated according to the above Milestones. The Company will allow the Consultant to invest up to an additional $5 million in any future debt or equity offering of the Company on the same terms and conditions offered to other participants in such offerings. The Consultant will not be obligated to participate in any such offerings. Accelerated Venture Partners has executed ten consulting agreements with public shell companies it formally controlled and none of the milestones under consulting agreements have been timely achieved. Of the ten consulting services agreements, Accelerated Venture Partners terminated one, one is expired and the company has not elected to terminate the agreement and repurchase the consulting share. Furthermore, the remaining eight companies have either renewed consulting agreements with Accelerated Venture Partners or are under the original consulting agreement.

On September 17, 2012, Greentech Mining International, Inc. entered into an Operating, Exploration and Option to Purchase Agreement (“Option Agreement”) with Greentech Mining, Inc. a Delaware Corporation and Greentech Mining Utah, LLC a Utah limited liability company, (“Owners”). Under the terms of the Option Agreement the Company shall make payment to Owner for the initial consideration of three million dollars ($3,000,000) with the first payment of one million dollars being made on or before November 1, 2012 and the remaining balance paid in ten (10) consecutive payments of $200,000 beginning on December 1, 2012. In addition to the consideration set forth herein, the Company shall pay Owner a Five Percent (5%) Net Smelter Royalty on all mineral bearing ores once Commercial Production has commenced. “Commercial Production” means the commercial-scale operation of any part of the Henry Mountain Project as a Mine by, or on behalf of, the Company. The Company shall perform exploration, mining, development, production, processing or any other activity (“Work” herein) which benefits the Henry Mountain Project at a minimum cost of $3,000,000 for the first year, $3,000,000 for the second year, and $3,000,000 for the third year of the Option Agreement. Additionally, the Owners granted to Company the sole and exclusive option to purchase all of the Owner’s rights, title and interest in the Henry Mountain Project for a total purchase price of two million dollars ($2,000,000), plus a perpetual two percent (2%) Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”). (See Item 1.01 above) The Company will require significant additional financing in order to advance the Company’s business plan, achieve the milestones and generate revenue to avoid the discontinuation of the Option Agreement, including the following estimated amounts for research, development and commercialization expenses related to the operations
The term of the Option Agreement is for three (3) years from the effective date set forth above, and may be renewed by the Company for successive three (3) year periods upon substantially the same terms and provisions as set forth herein based upon the then-capital structure of the Company, until declared forfeited and canceled by Owner or relinquished by GMI as provided herein. The Company shall give Owner written notice of each renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the respective three-year term. The Option Agreement shall automatically renew and continue so long as minerals, or metals are produced or sold from the Henry Mountain Project on a continuous basis. GMI shall have the continuing right to terminate the Option Agreement at any time and to surrender the Henry Mountain Project to Owner by giving Owner written notice thereof at least 30 days prior to the stated date of termination. Termination of the Option Agreement shall not relieve GMI of its obligation to pay all royalties due to Owner as well as its pro-rata share of taxes and fees.
Pursuant to the Option Agreement with Greentech Mining, Inc. the Company intends to commence small mining operations in alluvial gravels situated in the Crescent Creek area on the eastern flank of the Henry Mountains. The Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) permitted mining activity is intended to begin upon financing of Phase I as described below, and the posting of a $51,000 reclamation bond under a Greentech Mining, Inc. BLM and Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (‘DOGM”) approved Plan of Operations incorporating the Golden Eagle #103 claim located in the South Ѕ of the South East ј of the North West ј (S1/2SE1/4NW1/4) of Section 29, Township 31 South, Range 11 East with UMC #414268, Salt Lake Base and Meridian, in Garfield County, Utah (See figures 4 and 5 below). The permit includes production level of precious metals extractions and concentrations. The permitted area consists of 8.264 acres and the detailed scope of the BLM approved Plan of Operation is described on page 19 through 27. If the Company exercises the option to purchase it will need to apply for new permits with the BLM and DOGM, the full permitting process is described on page 31.
The Company, Greentech Mining, Inc. and Greentech Mining Utah, LLC are controlled by the same principals who believe that substantial benefit may potentially be derived from the Option Agreement to a publicly-reporting entity by potentially opening up new funding resources for the business and thereby facilitating the funding of future operations and permitting the further expansion of the business. Greentech Mining, Inc. and Greentech Mining Utah, LLC will continue to operate as independent companies fulfilling their current mineral processing contracts, developing and evaluating new mining technologies and other exploration opportunities for potential development
Prior to the Option Agreement entered into on September 17, 2012, the Company was a “blank check company”. Shares of the Company’s common stock are not registered under the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and accordingly there is no public trading market for our common stock. Therefore, outstanding shares of our common stock cannot be offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless subsequently registered pursuant to, or exempt from registration under, the Securities Act and any other applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations. Shares of our common stock including shares issued to AVP cannot be sold before or after an acquisition under the exemptions from registration provided by Rule 144 under or Section 4(1) of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) if the Company is designated a “shell company,” and for 12 months after it ceases to be a “shell company,” provided the Company otherwise is in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations. Compliance with the criteria for securing exemptions under federal securities laws and the securities laws of the various states is extremely complex, especially in respect of those exemptions affording flexibility and the elimination of trading restrictions in respect of securities received in exempt transactions and subsequently disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or state securities laws.

OVERVIEW
Greentech Mining International, Inc. is a precious metals mining exploration stage and processing company that has identified potential mining projects both domestically and internationally that it intends to develop into producing mines. The Company’s initial project is the Henry Mountain Project that consists of all 671 acres of Section 36, Township 29 South, Range 11 East, Salt Lake Base and Meridian, in Wayne County, Utah upon which an operating gravimetric circuit (systems to separate minerals by weight) has been built on the private property. In addition, the Henry Mountain Project includes the following Federal Government owned mining claims managed by the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”):
GOLDEN EAGLE CLAIM GROUP, 105 Placer Claims (loose material such as sand or gravel) totaling 2100 acres – Garfield County, Utah
Claim Numbers UMC 413213 - UMC413309
Claim Numbers UMC414263 – UMC 414270
SILVER EAGLE CLAIM GROUP, 25 Lode Claims (hard rock deposit) totaling 500 acres – Garfield County, Utah
Claim Numbers UMC414271 – UMC414295
BALD EAGLE CLAIM GROUP, 43 Lode Claims (hard rock deposit) totaling 860 acres – Garfield County, Utah
Claim Numbers UMC414196 – UMC414238
COPPER EAGLE CLAIM GROUP, 24 Lode Claims (hard rock deposit) totaling 480 acres – Garfield County, Utah
Claim Numbers UMC414239 – UMC414262
Out of those claim groups there is a BLM permit to commence small mining operations on 8.264 acres of claim #103 in the Golden Eagle claim group that is a twenty acre placer claim, the scope of the BLM approved Plan of Operation is described on pages 19 through 27. GMI intends to conduct operation and exploration activities thereon upon the posting of a $51,000 reclamation bond.
GMI has contracted with Greentech Mining, Inc. to develop and operate the Henry Mountain claims and to run the existing processing plant. The Company has executed an Operating and Exploration Contract with an Option to Purchase all of the assets and machinery at the Henry Mountain Project. Pursuant to the Option Agreement Greentech Mining, Inc. is responsible for BLM property fees and permit fees of an estimated $50,000 dollars per year that will be reimbursed by GMI until the Option to Purchase has been exercised as sets forth in the Option Agreement.
The Company intends to take a two-phase approach to expanding operations and conduct exploration efforts on the Henry Mountain claim groups. In Phase I, the Company will amend the existing processing facility’s Conditional Use Permit that on September 6, 2012 began a new term and automatically renews as long as there is no adverse effect on the community. The permit allows us to engage in mineral processing activities and conduct business under conditions designed to protect the neighborhood and the community. The amended permits will allow the Company to increase the scope of operations from R&D and pilot scale operations (10 tons of material per hour) to commercial scale operations (100 tons per hour) and will include the utilization of a leaching system, flotation system and electro-wining system. The Company estimates that the amended permitting process will take approximately one hundred eighty days for the Wayne County Planning Commission to review and approve the amendment. In parallel, GMI will fabricate install and test additional equipment for processing material imported from other mines in preparation of achieving commercial level production. During this phase the Company will also test gravel samples from several mines to determine the feasibility of importing and processing mined material from third parties.
If the Company can define a proven or probable reserve after completion of comprehensive exploration work which includes metallurgical testing in Phase I and is intended to be completed in Phase II (cost is included in the management and exploration expenses on page 43) at the mine sites and has a bankable feasibility study, the Company intends to screen the material removing all oversize rock and debris which carry very little value. Then the material would be transported by truck to the GMI facility that is currently fully equipped with a ten ton per hour gravity separation system, which is 12 miles from the Henry Mountain mine site. At the GMI facility the material would be stored in the material bins and sent to the crushing grinding facility where metals is intended to be further released from the rock by crushing techniques. Once crushed, the material is screened, classified by particle size and the heaver particles are sent to the triple deck and Deister table for final gravity separation designed to produce a black sand metal concentrate that can be smelted (as described on pages 25-27). Upon receiving the amended permit (as described on page 12) the Company plans to upgrade the current system (10 tons per hour) to 100 tons per hour and incorporate a leach, flotation and electrowinning systems into the processing circuit. The enhancements of our extraction capabilities are intended increase the probability of producing a gold purity of 99.99 percent as part of our Phase II implementation.

Additionally, Phase I includes the Company financing the BLM approved Plan of Operation reclamation bond for the Golden Eagle claim #103 and starting exploration under the current Small Mine permit as described on page 20. This phase will consist of validation of previous exploration programs that were conducted on the property and initially described by Grove Karl Gilbert, the Powell Expedition Geologist, in his report entitled “Report of the Geology of the Henry Mountains” published in 1877 and through more recent exploration testing programs conducted by New Paradigm Research Technology Group in 1997, Western States Mining Consultants in 1998, M&W Milling & Refining, Inc. in 1998, Material Recovery Service, Inc. 1998, Bromide Mining Company in 1988, Kaibab Industries, Inc. in 1999 and 2000. Additionally, in 2006 and 2007, Martinique Mining Corporation conducted preliminary surface testing analysis on 100 samples taken from lower placer claim groups and the upper hard rock claims groups.
Henry Mountain Project properties have been explored and sampled since 1877 and the reports have indicated that there were minerals on the properties. The Company has not verified these reports and is planning to verify the mineralization of the properties within our Phase I operation. In pervious testing done on the Golden Eagle placer area by Western State Mining Consultants, PC, in 1998 proved the property potentially has economic gold value. The limited amount of sampling (60 tons from three locations) done indicated the gold values cannot effectively be concentrated using a gravity separation mill but the material is, however, quite leachable and could potentially produce a large cyanide leach operation. The fact that gravity concentration cannot be effectively employed to beneficiate the material indicates that alterative metallurgical process may have to be used. The oversized material that was crushed had a significantly higher grade than the uncrushed material. This indicates the gold is disseminated throughout the cobble and boulders found in abundance over the project site. Cyanide leach testing indicated that the material from the project site is amenable to leaching and bulk vet leach tests or column leach test must be performed to determine the optimum leaching strategy and economic viability of the project. In the test conclusion, it was indicated that the project cannot be developed solely as a placer operation. Though high-grade zones have been and will continue to be encountered the majority of the placer material can only be processed economically by leaching. To minimize cost, it was recommended that metallurgical testing began on samples according to a well-planned reserve evaluation plan.
Greentech Mining, Utah has conducted surface sampling in 2011 and 2012, pursuant to the Option Agreement with Greentech Mining, Inc. and Greentech Mining, Utah, the Company intends to commence small mining operations on 8.264 acres consisting of alluvial gravels situated in the Crescent Creek area on the eastern flank of the Henry Mountains. GMI intends to conduct operation and exploration activities thereon upon financing Phase I and the posting of a $51,000 reclamation bond under a Greentech Mining Utah BLM and DOGM approved Plan of Operations (described on pages 19 through 27) incorporating the Golden Eagle #103 claim located in the South Ѕ of the South East ј of the North West ј (S1/2SE1/4NW1/4) of Section 29, Township 31 South, Range 11 East with UMC #414268, Salt Lake Base and Meridian, in Garfield County, Utah (See figure 4 and 5 below).
The BLM approved a 4 phase surface excavation plan (as outlined on pages 21-24) that measures 300 feet by 1,200 feet total, top soil would be stripped off and stockpiled for use in reclamation. Exposed target gravels would be excavated and processed in 300' x 200' sections. Each processed section would be reclaimed and regraded in succession. The operation is designed to process 100 to 200 tons per hour using trailer mounted “Aerosort” dry air material concentration equipment. Mining and excavation equipment would include the use of rubber tired loaders and transport and water trucks, a tracked D8 or D9 bulldozer and one tracked 345 Caterpillar excavator or backhoe. Top soil would be stripped off and stockpiled for use in reclamation. Site access would be via existing county maintained roads with the exception of one new road described as 80 feet long and 10 feet wide to allow ingress and egress to the operations site. A mobile office trailer would be placed on site to house office communications and on site safety filings with safety evacuation procedures and satellite communications which will offer instant links to emergency response units from Wayne and Garfield counties, as well as all Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) incident reporting requirements for the site. This mobile unit would also have self-contained restroom facilities for employees, as well as a parts warehousing area with a work bench and parts shelving. No site occupancy is included and would not be required. There would be no hazardous chemicals or substances stored on site at the Golden Eagle Mine. Non-hazardous materials and substances such as fuel, oils, anti-freeze products would be stored within the fuel storage containment area. The fuel containment area would be constructed on site using earth berm and 60 millimeter government approved site liner for containment of any fuel spills for site fueling units. This area would be monitoring at least twice daily by personnel on site, as well as inspected by the fuel distributor weekly.
The Company’s Quality Assurance team will monitor all aspects of the operation on a daily basis during all hours of operations, monitoring all check dams, dust control, fuel dispensing and containment systems, as well as all reclamations soil blending programs. Samples would be taken and kept on site as a part of the quality control program for the site. Tests would include all hydrocarbons, metals such as lead and iron, and any other contaminant that may occur. Any contaminants detected at any given time would be immediately handled as hazardous waste and disposed into containers and transported to the waste facility in Sunnyside, Utah.

The Company currently does not have any proven or probable reserves and intends to validate pervious explorations that occurred on the property, expanded our prospecting, mapping, sampling and ultimately diamond drilling within our comprehensive exploration work which includes metallurgical testing to identify a proven reserve, starting in Phase I and is intended to be completed in Phase II (cost is included in the management and exploration expenses on page 43). In parallel, the Company will transport material to the processing facility for testing prior to having establishing a proven or probable reserve on the property. Phase I of our mining operations is estimated to cost $3,000,000 as outlined in our Use of Proceeds on page 43..
In Phase II, the Company will analyze the exploration and metallurgical testing data completed by certified and licensed professionals to determine the feasibility of fully executing the current Plan of Operations approved by the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining, (“DOGM”), and the BLM as described on page 20. After the company accesses the data, any modifications, if any, will be identified and the proper amendments will be submitted to DOGM and BLM for approvals. The Company will identify and implement the mining method(s) best adapted to maximize production, including: (i) effective extraction of material delineated by the exploration, mine geology and grade control department., (ii) proper handling of material and blending method to attain an economical grade without sacrificing the quality of the material, (iii) proper, effective and economical milling plant operation that can recover the gold at the highest percentage possible, and (iv) proper disposal of plant tails.
Our current plans, predicated on raising $15,000,000 from the sale of common stock to begin Phase I. If Phase I is favorable, we would then start Phase II that transitions the Company into a precious metals production company at an estimated cost of $12,000,000, which is a reflection of local costs for the type of work program planned. We will proceed to Phase II only if we are successful in being able to secure the capital funding required to complete Phase II. Therefore, we expect to expend $3,000,000 on Phase I.
Phase I may require up to sixteen weeks for the base work and an additional two months for analysis, evaluation of the work completed and the preparation of a report. The cost for Phase I. is inclusive the aforementioned expenses and includes wages, fees, geological and geochemical supplies, assaying, equipment, trucking and operation costs. It is our intention to carry the work out in 2012 and early 2013, predicated on completion of the offering described in this Form 8-K. We will assess the results of this program upon receipt of an appropriate engineering or geological report. It is our intention to retain a US-educated geoscientist to evaluate and conform to American standards the Phase I work program and to author a report to American standards for future capital raising. Phase II is not planned to be carried out until late 2013 or early 2014 and will be contingent upon favorable results from phase I and specific recommendations of a professional geoscientist based on those results. Favorable results means that a geoscientist, engineer or other recognized professional states that there is a strong likelihood of value being added by transitioning into a precious metals production company, makes a written recommendation that we proceed to the next phase of production, a resolution is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company indicating such work should proceed and that it is feasible to finance the next phase of production.
In addition to GMI's interest in the Henry Mountain Project, the Company has also identified numerous other mining projects wherein the Company would either mine and process or process material from third party mines. GMI began testing these materials in October of 2012 to evaluate their commercial viability and may consummate processing contracts with the best candidates. The Company intends to add more material processing circuits at the 671 acre site including flotation and other mineral extraction technologies to complement its current gravimetric circuit to accommodate the processing of different ore species. GMI is well positioned to do so, on the 671 acre parcel as it already has a conditional use permit for the site.
We are an exploration stage mining company whose business objective is to identify proven reserves of gold and silver, construct mill sites, build out the Henry Mountain Project’s infrastructure and place the mines and the processing circuit for other materials into production after full metallurgical testing has been completed. GMI intends to explore for mineral deposits and in parallel transport concentrated material from the permitted property to the processing facility for testing and evaluation of mineral extraction feasibility. The Company and the Henry Mountain Project do not have any proven or probable reserves further work is required on the Henry Mountain Project before a final determination as to the economic feasibility of a mining venture can be made. There is no assurance that a commercially viable deposit will be proven through our exploration efforts. The funds expended on our properties may not be successful in leading to the delineation of ore reserves that meet the criteria established under SEC guidelines.
GMI has not earned any revenues to date and do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we are a production stage company. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and under Industry Guide 7 the Company cannot enter the development stage or production stage until we have defined a proven or probable reserve with a bankable feasibility study.
We can provide no assurance that commercially viable mineral deposits exist on our mining claims or that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such deposits are discovered, that we will enter into further substantial exploration programs. Further exploration is required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility is determined as to whether our mining claims possess commercially exploitable mineral deposits.
The Company’s funding plans include selling additional capital stock and/or borrowing to fund the aforementioned expenses. The Company intends to approach Hedge Funds, Venture Capital Groups, Private Investment Groups and other Institutional Investment Groups in its efforts to achieve future funding.

Pursuant to the Option Agreement with Greentech Mining, Inc. and Greentech Mining, Utah, the Company intends to commence small mining operations on 8.264 acres consisting of alluvial gravels situated in the Crescent Creek area on the eastern flank of the Henry Mountains. GMI intends to conduct operation and exploration activities thereon upon the posting of a $51,000 reclamation bond under a Greentech Mining Utah BLM and DOGM approved Plan of Operations (described on pages 19 through 27) incorporating the Golden Eagle #103 claim located in the South Ѕ of the South East ј of the North West ј (S1/2SE1/4NW1/4) of Section 29, Township 31 South, Range 11 East with UMC #414268, Salt Lake Base and Meridian, in Garfield County, Utah (See figure 4 and 5 above). We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and under Industry Guide 7 companies cannot enter the development stage or production stage until they have defined a proven or probable reserve with a bankable feasibility study.
The BLM approved a 4 phase surface excavation plan (as outlined on pages 21-24) that measures 300 feet by 1,200 feet total, top soil would be stripped off and stockpiled for use in reclamation. Exposed target gravels would be excavated and processed in 300' x 200' sections. Each processed section would be reclaimed and regraded in succession. The operation is designed to process 100 to 200 tons per hour using trailer mounted “Aerosort” dry air material concentration equipment. Mining and excavation equipment would include the use of rubber-tired loaders and transport and water trucks, a tracked D8 or D9 bulldozer and one tracked 345 Caterpillar excavator or backhoe. Topsoil would be stripped off and stockpiled for use in reclamation. Site access would be via existing county maintained roads with the exception of one new road described as 80 feet long and 10 feet wide to allow ingress and egress to the operations site. A mobile office trailer would be placed on site to house office communications and on site safety filings with safety evacuation procedures and satellite communications which will offer instant links to emergency response units from Wayne and Garfield counties, as well as all Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) incident reporting requirements for the site. This mobile unit would also have self-contained restroom facilities for employees, as well as a parts warehousing area with a work bench and parts shelving. No site occupancy is included and would not be required. There would be no hazardous chemicals or substances stored on site at the Golden Eagle Mine. Non-hazardous materials and substances such as fuel, oils, anti-freeze products would be stored within the fuel storage containment area. The fuel containment area would be constructed on site using earth berm and 60 millimeter government approved site liner for containment of any fuel spills for site fueling units. This area would be monitoring at least twice daily by personnel on site, as well as inspected by the fuel distributor weekly.
The Company’s Quality Assurance team will monitor all aspects of the operation on a daily basis during all hours of operations, monitoring all check dams, dust control, fuel dispensing and containment systems, as well as all reclamations soil blending programs. Samples would be taken and kept on site as a part of the quality control program for the site. Tests would include all hydrocarbons, metals such as lead and iron, and any other contaminant that may occur. Any contaminants detected at any given time would be immediately handled as hazardous waste and disposed into containers and transported to the waste facility in Sunnyside, Utah.
A Fugitive Dust Control Plan was approved by the Utah Division of Air Quality and by BLM within the Plan of Operations. Water supplied for dust control would be from Township 29 South, Range11 East, Section 36 (Water Right 95-5290(A79300) or contracted from private sources. The operation would use no waters from nearby streams.
Operations under the mining plan are anticipated to take 18 months to complete outside of shutdowns for inclement weather, seasonal restrictions and regulatory requirements. For the purposes of Environmental Assessment, a timeframe of three to five years is used to analyze what might be the maximum length of operations giving consideration to required shut downs. During shut down periods, equipment would be de-mobilized.
The Proposed Action was approved and the Company is authorized to commence following activities on public lands managed by BLM:
· | Temporary construction of an 80’ x 10’ access road to facilitate operations. |
· | Temporary installation of storm water runoff and sediment control structures. |
· | The excavation and on-site processing of target gravels in 300’ x 200’ sections. |
· | Reclamation of previously mined and processed sections prior to mining the next scheduled section. |

Rock types include, Diorite porphyry, gray feldspar andesite porphyry as the 2 most common rock type occurrences within the alluvial fan with sedimentary rock erosive basin rocks eroding into the alluvial fan where gold may be found. (Rodney A. Blakestad, JD., CPG report 1999) Distribution of these rock types will be mapped and cataloged with grade control personnel and data reported will be used for the replacement of the waste materials which can be blended with different rock sizes so as to carefully mimic the stratification of the disturbed area for the reclamation planning and layering of the top soil program.
The western mine high wall once established will utilize a drop terrace mining technique using a gradient slope of ½ to 1 in ratio. This will allow a 15ft. drop for each terrace and a 7.5ft landing to support the upper terrace during excavation along the 300 foot western perimeter advance of the mine site. The northern and southern mine perimeter lines will be sloped at natural angle of repose in this system which is 29 degrees. By leaving natural angle of repose along the side pit walls wildlife and cattle will not have a safety issue if crossing or visiting the area.

METALS PROCESSING AND REFINING
The BLM has issued permits for the Golden Eagle #103 and a comprehensive sample program is intended to be implemented at both the upper elevation target area and the lower alluvial mine groups. This surface sampling process is generally defined in the industry as a surface anomaly test program, and once completed will define the exploration target areas for potential ore bearing regions of the entire project. Geological profile mappings are also generated from this test program and exploration drill targets are engineered for the core drilling experts. This procedure is intended to ultimately provide proven gold ounces in the ground that can be further developed into proven gold reserves for the project.
FINAL PROCESSING AND REFINMENTS OF GOLD DORE’
GREENTECH PROCESSING FACILITY
The Company has contracted to operate the facility known as the Greentech Processing Facility (above), 11 miles south of Hanksville, Utah, and 12 miles from the Henry Mountain claim group. This property consists of 671 acres of private property and is fully permitted to operate in the 40 foot x 80-foot metal building structure with a complete material stacking and bin system is in place on the site. The property has 2 water wells that provide the facility enough water that can be used for all refining and process needs including two settling ponds for the recycling of the water used in the separation process. Furthermore, there is power, a cell phone system installed and cement material bins have been constructed as well as a transport truck weight scale system. The processing facility is intended to process material from multiple mining sites including the Henry Mountain claim group upon the completion of comprehensive exploration work which includes metallurgical testing and third party owned properties after metallurgical testing, currently the facility is fully equipped with gravity separation equipment, consisting of spiral classifiers and Nelson concentrators in addition to other equipment.
Testing and enhancements of the gravity separation circuit at the facility have been done by Greentech Utah since 2011 and have included testing of materials from several different mine sites including the Henry Mountain claim group. The testing to date indicates that the current circuit design can segregate the material and produce a gold/silver concentrate that can be smelted to extract the gold from the material. Previous testing on the Henry Mountain claim group completed by Greentech Utah in 2012 indicated that the material could be segregated to produce a gold/silver black sand material and smelted into gold beads. Although there has been black sand material produce from the Henry Mountain claims, due to the limited testing it is still unknown as to the most effective extraction process and much more exploration work need to be completed with Phase I. Pervious testing done in 1998 (60 tons from three locations) indicates that any mineralized materials discovered during the exploration stage of the Henry Mountain placer claims will likely be disseminated in nature and require leaching for effective metal recovery (see page 13 for historical testing that was done in 1998 on the Henry Mountain placer claims indicating a leach process would be most effective).
Initial testing results indicate that gold and silver are present in the black sand produced by the system but it is unknown if the metals can be recovered at this time. Furthermore, the economic feasibility has not been shown due to the small amount of material that has been evaluated to date and there is the associated risk that the operation as planned will not be profitable either with respect to our own mining operations or refining tailings or other mining concentrates from other mining companies in close proximity to our operations.
We have incorporated flexibility into our processing building design to allow for alternative/additional precious metal extraction processes to be installed that may include a leach system, flotation system and eletrowinning system to enhance the extraction process, these enhancements are intended to be implemented in Phase II.
In Phase I, the Company will amend the existing processing facility’s Conditional Use Permit that on September 6, 2012 began a new term and automatically renews as long as there is no adverse effect on the community. The permit allows us to engage in mineral processing activities and conduct business under conditions designed to protect the neighborhood and the community. The amended permits will allow the Company to increase the scope of operations from R&D and pilot scale operations (10 tons of material per hour) to commercial scale operations (100 tons per hour) and will include the utilization of a leaching system, flotation system and electrowinning system. The Company estimates that the amended permitting will take approximately one hundred eighty days for the Wayne County Planning Commission to review and approve the amendment. In parallel, GMI will fabricate install and test additional equipment for processing material imported from other mines in preparation of achieving commercial level production. During this phase the Company will also test gravel samples from several mines to determine the feasibility of importing and processing mined material from third parties.
The pictured processing equipment is currently at the plant in Hanksville Utah and is owned by Greentech Mining Inc and operated by the Company. If the Company does not exercise the option to purchase or the agreement is terminated, the pictured equipment will continue to be owned by Greentech Mining Inc. In the event the Company purchases additional equipment as outlined in the plan of operation on pages 37 through 40, the equipment will be owned by the Company regardless of termination.
24
The following flow sheet outlines the positions of the equipment inside the building area that is present on site. The Company intends on modifying and up grading the current equipment in Phase 1 to process 75 – 100 tons per hour.
The hopper and conveyor system sends material through the trommel separation system (upper left photo) that feeds material into the buildings crushing system and screening unit (upper right photo) which then transfers the material to two clarifying systems.
25
The material has been received from the crushing system and is now being classified by practical size in the classifying units (upper left photo) and the lighter particles will be sent to the tailing pond and the heaver particles will be sent to the triple deck and Deister table (upper right photo) for final concentration of the precious metal minerals.
THE PROCESS FROM MINE TO REFINING
If the Company can define a proven or probable reserve after completion of comprehensive exploration work which includes metallurgical testing in Phase I and completed in Phase II (cost is included in the management and exploration expenses on page 43) at the mine sites and has a bankable feasibility study the Company intends to screen the material removing all oversize rock and debris which carry very little value. Then the material would be transported by truck to the GMI facility that is currently fully equipped with a ten ton per hour gravity separation system, which is 12 miles from the Henry Mountain mine site. At the GMI facility the material would be stored in the material bins and sent to the crushing grinding facility where metals is intended to be further released from the rock by crushing techniques. Once crushed, the material is screened, classified by particle size and the heaver particles are sent to the triple deck and Deister table for final gravity separation designed to produce a black sand metal concentrate that can be smelted (as described on pages 25-27). Upon receiving the amended permit (as described on page 12) the Company plans to upgrade the current system (10 tons per hour) to 100 tons per hour and incorporate a leach, flotation and electrowinning systems into the processing circuit. The enhancements of our extraction capabilities are intended increase the probability of producing a gold purity of 99.99 percent as part of our Phase II implementation.

HENRY MOUNTAIN GOLD HISTORICAL
Evidence of prehistoric inhabitation by both the Fremont and Anasazi cultures is found in areas surrounding the Henry Mountains, but there is little or no indication of habitation in the mountains themselves. The Henry Mountains were little known until described by Grove Karl Gilbert, the Powell Expedition Geologist, in his report entitled “Report of the Geology of the Henry Mountains” published in 1877. By the 1890’s the lure of precious metals brought the largest influx of settlers into the area. Lumber for the mining was cut at many places in the mountains, and roads to reach the stands of timber were built up Bull Creek where a saw-mill was located. In 1890 Jack Sumner, who had been with Powell in 1869, located the Bromide Mine near the summit of Mount Ellen. By 1893 more than 100 men were reported to be working in the mines and camps of the area. A small town called Eagle City was established at Crescent Creek in the Eagle Benches area, with homes, a hotel, two saloons, a dance hall, three stores, and a post office but by 1900 gold had played out and Eagle City was a ghost town.
COMPETITION
The mineral exploration business is an extremely competitive industry. We are competing with many other exploration companies looking for minerals. We are a very early stage mineral exploration company and a very small participant in the mineral exploration business. Being a junior mineral exploration company, we compete with other companies like ours for financing and joint venture partners. Additionally, we compete for resources such as professional geologists, camp staff, helicopters and mineral exploration supplies.
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
Because we are engaged in the mineral exploration activities, we are exposed to many governmental and environmental risks associated with our business. We are currently the operator of the Henry Mountain project and processing plant for Greentech Mining Inc. who has obtained a small mining operations permit consisting of 8.264 acres that has a $50,000 reclamation bond that needs to be posted before mining can begin. They have also obtained a conditional use permit for the processing plant.
The process of obtaining a Small Mining Operating Permit is to file a Notice of Intention to Commence Small Mining Operations form that applies only to mining operations which disturb or will disturb five or less surface acres at any time in incorporated areas or ten or less acres in unincorporated areas. A permit fee is required to accompany the application form and annually thereafter, until the operator reclaims the site and obtains a formal release from the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining. The fee is $150.00 for sites with a disturbed area of five acres or less or $500.00 for sites with a disturbed area of ten acres or less and over five acres. The Company must also file a detailed plan of operation with the BLM.
The process to expend operations from Small Mining Operating Permit to a Large Mining Operating Permit is to file a Notice of Intention to Commence Large Mining Operations that applies only to mining operations that disturb or will disturb more than five (5) surface acres at any given time. A $500.00 initial application fee is required to accompany the application form for operations with less than 50 surface acres, and $1,000.00 initial application fee for those operations exceeding 50 surface acres. The fees are due annually thereafter, until the operator reclaims the site and obtains a formal release from the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining. The Company must also file a detailed plan of operation with the BLM.
27
Environmental and other government regulations that must be addressed in the plan of operation to obtain a Small Mining Permit and expand to a Large Mining Permit at the federal, state and local level include:
● | surface impact; | |
● | water acquisition and treatment; | |
● | site access; | |
● | reclamation; | |
● | wildlife preservation; | |
● | licenses and permits; and | |
● | maintaining the environment. |
Regulatory compliance in the mining industry is complex and the failure to meet and satisfy various requirements can result in fines, civil or criminal penalties or other limitations.
In the event we are able to secure funding necessary to implement the BLM approved plan of operation, we will be subject to regulation by governmental authorities. In order to maintain our claims, we must make annual payments to the BLM and the State of Utah in the estimated amount of $50,000. To maintain a Small or Large Mining Operations Permit, an annual report summarizes mining operations conducted during the preceding calendar year, the location of the operation, the gross amount of material and waste material moved during the year, as well as the disposition of such materials. The report must also summarize the reclamation work performed and new surface disturbances created during the year. The annual report must be filed on or before January 31 of each year, unless waived in writing by the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining.
If we proceed to phase one drilling, outside of the permitted area, we must secure an Exploration Permit by filing a Notice of Intention to Conduct Exploration that applies only to exploration activities. "Exploration" means surface disturbing activities conducted for the purpose of discovering a deposit or mineral deposit, delineating the boundaries of a deposit or mineral deposit, and identifying regions or specific areas in which deposits or mineral deposits are most likely to exist. "Exploration" includes, but is not limited to: sinking shafts; tunneling; drilling holes and digging pits or cuts; building of roads, and other access ways; and constructing and operating other facilities related to these activities. A $150.00 initial application fee is required to accompany the application form and annually thereafter, until the operator reclaims the site and obtains a formal release from the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining. The Company must also file a detailed plan of operation with the BLM.
In the event the Company exercises the option to purchase the processing facility, Greentech Inc. will file Notice of Intention for Small or Large Mining Operations to transfer the approved permit for a small or large mining operation to the Company. The Company will be required to post a new reclamation surety and must assume full responsibility for continued mining operations and all reclamation obligations associated with the large mining operation.
The Company operates the processing facility under a Greentech a Conditional Use Permit that allows us to engage in mineral processing activities and conduct business under conditions designed to protect the neighborhood and the community. A conditional use is a use that is permitted if the Planning Commission makes certain findings, including a finding that the use will not have an adverse effect on the community. Each Conditional Use Permit application must be reviewed individually to determine if the proposed use can operate at a given location without harming its neighbors or the surrounding community. The term of the permit is two years and as of September 6, 2012 began a new term and automatically renews as long as there is no adverse effect on the community and the estimated time to amend these permits is approximately 180 days.
28
Subsequently, operating and environmental permits will be required from applicable regulatory bodies using technical applications filed by us. The failure or delay in obtaining regulatory approvals or licenses will adversely affect our ability to explore our property and otherwise carry out our business plan.
Any exploration or production on United States Federal land will have to comply with the Federal Land Management Planning Act, which has the effect generally of protecting the environment. Any exploration or production on private property, whether owned or leased, will have to comply with the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act. The costs of complying with environmental concerns under any of these acts vary on a case-by-case basis. In many instances the cost can be prohibitive to development. Environmental costs associated with a particular project must be factored into the overall cost evaluation of whether to proceed with the project.
There are no costs to us at the present time except for annual fee payments related to the claims and reclamation bonding requirements of the Bureau of Land Management in connection with compliance with environmental laws. However, because we anticipate engaging in natural resource projects, these costs could occur at any time and the potential liability could be extensive.
EMPLOYEES
We currently have five full time employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union and we consider our relationships with our employees to be good.
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
At this time, the Company maintains its designated office at 1840 Gateway Drive, Suite 200, Foster City CA, 94404. The Company’s telephone number is (650) 283-2653.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
While we are not currently a party to any material pending legal proceedings, from time to time we may be named as a party to lawsuits in the normal course of our business.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operation from inception February 6, 2012 through March 31, 2013 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth under the “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Our Business” sections in this Form 10-K. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.
Plan of Operation
Greentech Mining International, Inc. is a precious metals mining exploration and processing company that has identified potential mining projects both domestically and internationally that it intends to develop into producing mines. The Company’s initial project is the Henry Mountain Project that consists of all 671 acres of Section 36, Township 29 South, Range 11 East, Salt Lake Base and Meridian, in Wayne County, Utah upon which an operating gravimetric circuit (system to separate minerals by weight) has been built on the private property. In addition, the Henry Mountain Project includes the following Federal Government owned mining claims managed by the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”):
GOLDEN EAGLE CLAIM GROUP, 105 Placer Claims (loose material such as sand or gravel) totaling 2100 acres – Garfield County, Utah
Claim Numbers UMC 413213 - UMC413309
Claim Numbers UMC414263 – UMC 414270
SILVER EAGLE CLAIM GROUP, 25 Lode Claims (hard rock deposit) totaling 500 acres – Garfield County, Utah
Claim Numbers UMC414271 – UMC414295
BALD EAGLE CLAIM GROUP, 43 Lode Claims (hard rock deposit) totaling 860 acres – Garfield County, Utah
Claim Numbers UMC414196 – UMC414238
COPPER EAGLE CLAIM GROUP, 24 Lode Claims (hard rock deposit) totaling 480 acres – Garfield County, Utah
Claim Numbers UMC414239 – UMC414262
Out of those claim groups there is a BLM permit to commence small mining operations on 8.264 acres claim #103 in the Golden Eagle claim group and is a twenty acre placer claim. GMI intends to conduct operation and exploration activities thereon upon the posting of a $51,000 dollar reclamation bond.
30
GMI has contracted with Greentech Mining, Inc. (“Owner”) to develop and operate the Henry Mountain claims and to run the existing processing plant. The Company has executed an Operating and Exploration Contract with an Option to Purchase all of the assets and machinery at the Henry Mountain Project. Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Greentech Mining, Inc. is responsible for BLM property fees and permit fees of an estimated $50,000 dollars per year that will be reimbursed by GMI until the Option to Purchase has been exercised, as set forth in the Option Agreement.
The Company intends to take a two-phase approach to expanding operations and conduct exploration efforts on the Henry Mountain claim groups. In Phase I, the Company will amend the existing processing facility’s Conditional Use Permit that on September 6, 2012 began a new term and automatically renews as long as there is no adverse effect on the community. The permit allows us to engage in mineral processing activities and conduct business under conditions designed to protect the neighborhood and the community. The amended permits will allow the Company to increase the scope of operations from R&D and pilot scale operations (10 tons of material per hour) to commercial scale operations (100 tons per hour) and will include the utilization of a leaching system, flotation system and electro-wining system. The Company estimates that the amended permitting process will take approximately one hundred eighty days for the Wayne County Planning Commission to review and approve the amendment. In parallel, GMI will fabricate install and test additional equipment for processing material imported from other mines in preparation of achieving commercial level production. During this phase the Company will also test gravel samples from several mines to determine the feasibility of importing and processing mined material from third parties.
Additional, Phase I includes the Company financing the approved BLM Plan of Operation reclamation bond for the Golden Eagle claim #103 and starting exploration under the current Small Mine permit. This phase will consist of validation of previous exploration programs completed by previous mine owners expanding our prospecting, mapping, sampling and ultimately diamond drilling (Exploration Expenses), our option agreement, equipment purchases for the mine site and the processing plant, effective mine planning (Option, Mine Site and Processing Plant) and other general administrative expenses (Other Expenditures). The implementation will be facilitated at a cost of $3,000,000 to the Company as outlined in the table on page 43 below.
In Phase II, the Company will analyze the exploration data completed by certified and licensed professionals to determine the feasibility of executing the current Plan of Operations approved by the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining, (“DOGM”), and the BLM. After the Company accesses the data, any modifications, if any, will be identified and the proper amendments will be submitted to DOGM and BLM for approvals. The Company will identify and implement the mining method(s) best adapted to maximize production, including: (i) effective extraction of material delineated by the exploration, mine geology and grade control department., (ii) proper handling of material and blending method to attain an economical grade without sacrificing the quality of the material (Exploration Expense), (iii) proper, effective and economical milling plant operation that can recover the gold at the highest percentage possible, and (iv) proper disposal of plant tails (Option, Mine Site and Processing Plant) and other general administrative expenses (Other Expenditures) as outlined in the table on page 43 below.
Our current plans, predicated on raising $15,000,000 from the sale of common stock to begin with Phase I. If Phase I is favorable, we would then start Phase II that transitions the Company into a precious metals production company at an estimated cost of $12,000,000, which is a reflection of local costs for the type of work program planned. We will proceed to Phase II only if we are successful in being able to secure the capital funding required to complete Phase II. Therefore, we expect to expend $3,000,000 on Phase I.
Phase I may require up to sixteen weeks for the base work and an additional two months for analysis, evaluation of the work completed and the preparation of a report. The cost for Phase I is inclusive the aforementioned expenses and includes wages, fees, geological and geochemical supplies, assaying, equipment, trucking and operation costs. It is our intention to carry the work out in 2012 and early 2013, predicated on completion of the off the financing described in this document. We will assess the results of this program upon receipt of an appropriate engineering or geological report. It is our intention to retain a US-educated geoscientist to evaluate and conform to American standards the phase I work program and to author a report to American standards for future capital raising. Phase II is not planned to be carried out until 2013 and will be contingent upon favorable results from phase I and specific recommendations of a professional geoscientist based on those results. Favorable results means that a geoscientist, engineer or other recognized professional states that there is a strong likelihood of value being added by transitioning into a precious metals production company, makes a written recommendation that we proceed to the next phase of production, a resolution is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company indicating such work should proceed and that it is feasible to finance the next phase of production. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and under Industry Guide 7 companies cannot enter the development stage or production stage until we have completed comprehensive exploration work which includes metallurgical testing and defined a proven or probable reserve with a bankable feasibility study.
31
Under the terms of the Option Agreement the Company shall make payment to Owner for the initial consideration of three million dollars ($3,000,000) with the first payment of one million dollars (1,000,000) being paid on or before November 1, 2012 that was extended to November 1, 2013 and the remaining balance made in ten (10) consecutive payments of $200,000 beginning on December 1, 2012 that was extended to December 1, 2013. Owner warrants and covenants that it will utilize the funds to remove encumbrances and hold full title and exclusive possession of the Mines and Processing Plant free and clear from all grants, sales, liens, defects, adverse claims and encumbrances of any kind by November 15, 2013 that was extended to November 15, 2013.
The Company shall perform exploration, mining, development, production, processing or any other activity (“Work” herein) which benefits the Henry Mountain Project at a minimum cost of $3,000,000 for the first year, $3,000,000 for the second year, and $3,000,000 for the third year of the Option Agreement commencing on September 20, 2012. All work on other lands within 500 feet of the boundary of any portion of the Henry Mountain Project shall be deemed to benefit the Henry Mountain Project for the work commitment if such work is part of an overall plan or project that includes the Henry Mountain Project. All costs expended for work in excess of $3,000,000 for any one (1) year term shall accrue and be applied to the Option Agreement price as described below. In the event that the Company does not perform work in the amount of the entire minimum expenditure required for the applicable year (which amount will include any excess amount accrued from the prior three year term), the Company shall pay Owner the amount of any such shortage in cash or cash equivalents within 30 days after the end of each three (3) year term. In addition, the Company shall establish a contingency reclamation reserve fund for the purpose of assuring payment of reclamation costs caused by the Company. The reclamation cost shall be deducted from Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”) returns on all materials produced and sold from the Henry Mountain Project, after the Owner’s royalties are computed, five percent (5%) of the value thereof, for the purpose of a contingency reclamation reserve fund for paying potential reclamation costs, up to five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000).
Owner also granted the Company the sole and exclusive option to purchase all of Owner’s right, title and interest in the property (the Contracted Mines and Processing Plant) for a total purchase price of TWO MILLION dollars ($2,000,000), plus a perpetual two percent (2%) Net Smelter Royalty (hereinafter referred to as the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price may be paid in cash or other cash equivalent as mutually agreed by the Owner and Company. Exercise of the option shall be no sooner than November 15, 2013 unless Owner removes the estimated $1.4 million in encumbrances and holds full title and exclusive possession of the Contracted Mines and Processing Plant free and clear from all grants, sales, liens, defects, adverse claims and encumbrances of any kind prior to November 15, 2013 or if Owner utilizes all or a portion of the purchase price to remove all encumbrances and holds full title and exclusive possession of the Contracted Mines and Processing Plant free and clear from all grants, sales, liens, defects, adverse claims and encumbrances of any kind to be so transferred. Exercise of the option shall be effective upon delivery of written notice thereof to Owner at Owner’s business address or the address of Owner’s registered agent. The Company shall deliver to Owner a negotiable instrument in the full amount of the Purchase Price in exchange for properly executed and acknowledged Deeds and/or other indicia of ownership in recordable form. Closing shall occur within sixty (60) days after exercise of the option.
The term of the Agreement is for three (3) years from the effective date set forth above, and may be renewed by the Company for successive three (3) year periods upon substantially the same terms and provisions as set forth herein based upon the then-capital structure of the Company, until declared forfeited and canceled by Owner or relinquished by GMI as provided herein. The Company shall give Owner written notice of each renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the respective three-year term. The Option Agreement shall automatically renew and continue so long as minerals, or metals are produced or sold from the Henry Mountain Project on a continuous basis. The Company shall have the continuing right to terminate the Agreement at any time and to surrender the Henry Mountain Project to Owner by giving Owner written notice thereof at least 30 days prior to the stated date of termination. Termination of the Option Agreement shall not relieve GMI of its obligation to pay all royalties due to Owner hereunder as well as its pro-rata share of taxes and fees.
The Company’s funding plans include selling additional capital stock and/or borrowing to fund the aforementioned expenses. The Company intends to approach Hedge Funds, Venture Capital Groups, Private Investment Groups and other Institutional Investment Groups in its efforts to achieve future funding.
The Company will require significant additional financing in order to advance the Company’s business plan, achieve the milestones and generate revenue to avoid the discontinuation of the Option Agreement. We intend on seeking financing for Phase I that includes $454,750 for management and exploration, $2,196,750 for our option payments, processing plant and 348,500 for other general operating expenses for a total of $3 million. The Company will also seek financing for Phase II that includes $2,164,250 for management and exploration, $8,174,250 for our option, equipment at the mining site and processing plant and $1,661,500 for other general operating expenses for a total of $12 million The Company therefore intends to raise an aggregate of $15 million in 2012, the proceeds of which would be utilized as follows:

(1) Includes base compensation, benefits and expenses for director-level, and above, domestic and international employees over a two year time frame with the number of management team members (4) ramping up commensurate with the staff build-up. Of the total, 65% is for base compensation, 13% for benefits and taxes, and 22% for expenses.
(2) Compensation for an estimated domestic and international staff ramping up to 16 full-time-equivalent (FTE) exploration and processing plant employees over a one year time frame. Of the total, 80% is for base compensation (average salary, $60,000); with 20% for benefits and taxes are included with general exploration costs.
There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise this or any amount of additional capital and a failure to do so would have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s ability, or would cause significant delays in its ability to address the market for exploration, developing, mining and processing minerals and achieve its Business Plan, it estimated the minimum amount of capital the company needs to raise over the ne twelve months is $1 million to continue operations. Neither the Company nor any of its advisors or consultants has significant experience in the mining industry to raise funds similar to the $15,000,000 estimated to be required,
Going Concern
We were a shell company from February 6, 2012 until our entry into the mining industry in June of 2012. We have incurred net losses of approximately $109,345 since inception through March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013 we had approximately $53 in cash and $0 other assets and our total liabilities were $104,798. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements form inception through March 31, 2013 contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our ability to continue as a going concern based upon recurring operating losses and our need to obtain additional financing to sustain operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities when they become due and to generate sufficient revenues from our operations to pay our operating expenses. There are no assurances that we will continue as a going concern.
33
Results of Operations
The following is a summary of the Company’s operation results for the years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Total operating expenses | $ | 107,545 | $ | 1,800 | ||||
Net loss | $ | (107,545) | $ | (1,800) |
For the period from inception (February 6, 2012) through March 31, 2013, the Company had no activities that produced revenues from operations and had a net loss of $109,345, due to legal, accounting, audit and other professional service fees incurred in relation to the formation of the Company and the filing of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 filed in February 2012 and other SEC-related compliance matters.
To date, our general and administrative expenses have been funded by Accelerated Venture Partners, LLC, or AVP. Expenses include legal fees, accounting fees, costs associated with SEC filings and preparation of documents. The mining equipment has been funded by Matthew Neher and Novus Aurum Trust and there is no formal agreement in place with AVP or Novus Aurum Trust for the repayment of the expenditures.
We expect that, if we are successful in securing additional capital, future general and administrative expenses will increase significantly as compared to the period year ended March 31, 2012. In addition, we expect to incur exploration and processing expenses as we seek to advance our operations.
The Company’s common stock has never traded publicly, and no stock has traded in private markets either, except for privately negotiated sales to investors, the founder of the Company and the founder of the technology from which the Company subsequently licensed rights. No common stock has been sold in any transactions since the Company emerged from its shell-company status. The Company does not have any offers for purchase of its common stock in any stage, and no stock is registered for resale with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Liquidity and Capital Resource
As of March 31, 2013, we had a cash balance of only $53 in cash. We accrued expenses were $104,798, of which $80,098 is due to AVP and $24,700 due to Matthew Neher and Novus Aurum Trust related parties. We had a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $104,745 and no means to pay the liabilities in excess of our assets. AVP has agreed to fund certain administrative operating expenses of the Company until the financing is completed.
We have recorded the estimated fair value of the Greentech mining and milling assets as an aggregate amount on our condensed balance sheet. The assets include the land, water rights and the milling facility (the buildings and equipment).
The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities:
For the Cumulative Period from Inception (February 6, 2012) through March 31, 2013
Operating activities | $ | (2,747) | ||
Investing activities | - | |||
Financing activities | $ | 2,600 | ||
Net effect on cash | $ | (147) |
34
If the Company succeeds in raising additional funds, at which point the administrative operating expenses will be due. However, AVP may seek to force earlier payment of the amounts which we owe, or AVP may decide in the future not to continue funding costs on behalf of Greentech, although we are not aware of any plans for them to do so. If we are not successful in raising additional capital, we may not be able to pay our liabilities and may have to cease operations.
The Company will require significant additional financing in order to advance the Company’s business plan, achieve the milestones and generate revenue to avoid the discontinuation of the Option Agreement, including the following estimated amounts for research, development and commercialization expenses related to the operations. The Company therefore intends to raise an aggregate of $15 million in 2013, and the funding plans include selling additional capital stock and/or borrowing to fund the aforementioned expenses. The Company intends to approach Hedge Funds, Venture Capital Groups, Private Investment Groups and other Institutional Investment Groups in its efforts to achieve future funding.
We have a consulting agreement with AVP under which AVP has agreed to provide us with certain advisory services that include reviewing our business plan, identifying and introducing prospective financial and business partners, and providing general business advice regarding our operations and business strategy. Under the consulting agreement, cash compensation of $600,000 is due to AVP upon our securing $10 million in available cash from funding, and an additional $300,000 is due upon our securing $15 million in available cash from funding (inclusive of the first $10 million). The cash compensation is to be paid to AVP at the rate of $37,500 per month. The total cash compensation to be received by AVP under the consulting agreement is not to exceed $900,000 unless we receive an amount of funding in excess of $15 million. If we receive equity or debt financing that is an amount less than $10 million, in between $10 million and $15 million, or greater than $15 million, the cash compensation earned by the AVP under its consulting services agreement will be prorated. We have the option to make a lump sum payment to AVP in lieu of the monthly cash payments.
If we do not raise additional funds of at least $6.5 million for the advancement of our option agreements by March 15, 2015, we will lose our rights to the options; at least $1 million of these additional funds must be raised before November 1, 2013 for our Greentech Mining Inc. Option Agreement (amended from December 1, 2012), at least $750,000 must be raised before March 1, 2013 if we intend to exercise our Mineral Claim Option Agreement with Union Gulf Resources Ltd.(amended from August 1, 2013).
We plan to measure our future liquidity primarily by the cash and working capital available to fund our operations, if we are ever able to raise capital. To date we have not raised any capital and, accordingly; do not have any capital available to fund our operations, as stated above. We will not be able to commercialize operating. We are evaluating various means of raising our initial capital, including through the sale of equity securities, joint venture agreements or other means. We expect to incur losses until as we have a metal product for sale, and we are unable to estimate when, if ever, we will receive revenue or have a positive cash flow.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Seasonality
Our operating results are not affected by seasonality.
Inflation
Our business and operating results are not affected in any material way by inflation.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, "Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies" suggesting that companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In Financial Reporting Release No. 60, the Securities and Exchange Commission has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company's financial condition and operating results, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. The nature of our business generally does not call for the preparation or use of estimates. Due to the fact that the Company does not have any operating business, we do not believe that we do not have any such critical accounting policies.
35
Stock-Based Compensation
We plan to account for stock awards granted to recipients using an estimate of the fair value of the stock award on the date that the award is granted. This estimated fair value will be recognized as an expense in the statement of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the underlying stock option, generally four years for employees. There is a high degree of subjectivity involved in estimating the input values needed to estimate the fair value of stock options and other awards. For the Company in particular, our stock has never traded and therefore it will be difficult to determine the underlying fair value of our common stock on each date a stock award is made. Changes in any of the assumptions required to estimate the fair value, particularly the estimated value of the underlying stock and the estimated volatility, as well as the estimated term of the options, can materially affect the resulting estimates of the fair values of the awards that are granted. Also, the expenses recorded for stock-based compensation in our financial statements may differ significantly from the actual value realized by the recipients of the stock options, and these expenses are not adjusted to the actual amounts, if any, realized by the stock option recipients. Users of the financial statements should also understand that the expenses we recognize for stock-based compensation do not result in payments of cash by us.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We recently commenced our operations and do not believe that there are any recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have not adopted which are likely to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or other disclosures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Greentech Mining International, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Greentech Mining International, Inc.(a development stage company) as of March 31, 2013 and the related statement of operations, changes in stockholder's equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2013 and for the period from inception (February 6, 2012) to March 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as, evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Greentech Mining International, Inc. (a development stage company) as of March 31, 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2013 and for the period from inception (February 6, 2012) to March 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred a loss since inception, has a net accumulated deficit and may be unable to raise further equity. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2013
NOTE 1 - BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Greentech Mining International, Inc. (“the Company” “GMI” and “Greentech”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on February 6, 2012 under the name Accelerated Acquisitions XVIII, Inc. The Company was formed as a “shell company” with no operations while it sought new business opportunities. The Company changed its name to Greentech Mining International, Inc. on June 25, 2012. On September 17, 2012, we entered into an Operating, Exploration and Option to Purchase Agreement with Greentech Mining, Inc. a Delaware Corporation and Greentech Mining Utah, LLC a Utah limited liability company, (“Owners”), both entities are under common control, pursuant to which the Company received exclusive rights that consists of all 671 acres of Section 36, Township 29 South, Range 11 East, Salt Lake Base and Meridian, in Wayne County, Utah upon which an operating gravimetric circuit (system to separate minerals by weight) has been built on the private property. In addition, the agreement includes four Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) mining claim groups totaling 3,940 acres to:
a. | Exploring and prospecting for, developing, mining, excavating, leaching, milling, processing and smelting, whether by open pit, underground, strip mining, solution mining, heap leaching, or any other methods deemed desirable by the Company in its sole discretion, all minerals, ores, valuable rocks, rare earths and materials of all kinds, including mine dumps and tailings (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Contracted Substances”); |
b. | Processing, concentrating, beneficiating, treating, milling, smelting, shipping, selling and otherwise disposing of the Contracted Substances and receiving the proceeds of any such sale; |
c. | Erecting, constructing, maintaining, using and operating any such buildings, structures, machinery, facilities and equipment the Company deems necessary, except that modifications to existing structures machinery, facilities and equipment require the prior approval of the Owner; and |
d. | Engaging in any other activity that Contractor deems reasonable and necessary to achieve the foregoing purposes. |
As a result of entering into these agreements and undertaking efforts to begin exploration, mining and mineral distribution operations, we have ceased to be a shell company. The Company operates in one reportable business segment, the mining exploration and processing of precious metals.
The Company is currently in the exploration stage. All activities of the Company to date relate to its organization and acquiring rights to explore and produce precious metals. The Company does not have any known ore reserves according to the definition of ore reserves under Industry Guide 7 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The Company did not recognize any assets or liabilities related to the Option Agreement signed on September 17, 2012. The Owner did not pass the ownership of the related assets until the first payment of one million dollar has been paid in the future and this has not occurred. Also, the carrying value of the Option Agreement is not an arm’s length transaction due to the fact both the Company and Owners are commonly controlled by Mr. Matthew Neher. Therefore, the carrying value of the Option Agreement cannot be determined until actual consideration has been paid.
Mineral Properties and Milling Assets
Mineral property and milling asset acquisition costs are recorded at cost as an aggregate amount on our condensed balance sheet and the mineral properties are deferred until the viability of the property is determined. Exploration, mineral property evaluation, option payments, related acquisition costs for mineral properties acquired under an option agreement, general overhead, administrative and holding costs to maintain a property on a care and maintenance basis are expensed in the period they are incurred. When reserves are determined for a property and a bankable feasibility study is completed, subsequent exploration and development costs on the property would be capitalized. If a project were to be put into production, capitalized costs would be depleted on the unit of production basis.
Management reviews the net carrying value of each mineral property and milling assets as changes may materialize with an asset or at a minimum, on a quarterly basis. Where information and conditions suggest impairment under ASC 360-10-35-17, estimated future net cash flows from each asset are calculated using estimated future prices, proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, and operating, capital and reclamation costs on an undiscounted basis. If it is determined that the future cash flows are less than the carrying value, a write-down to the estimated fair value is made with a charge to loss for the period. Where estimates of future net cash flows are not available and where other conditions suggest impairment, management assesses if the carrying value can be recovered. Furthermore, if the Company determines that an impairment analysis should be done, the analysis will be performed using rules of ASC 930-360-35, Asset Impairment, and 360-10-15-3 through 15-5, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2013
Management's estimates of gold prices, recoverable reserves, probable outcomes, operating capital and reclamation costs are subject to risks and uncertainties that may affect the recoverability of mineral property costs.
(b) Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden
parachute payments not previously approved.
Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, “emerging growth companies” can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected not to avail ourselves to this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.”
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying financial statements the Company has a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $109,345, due to shareholder of $104,798 and had $53 cash as of March 31, 2013. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing necessary for it to meet its obligations, develop the products that it has licensed, and ultimately generate revenues from the sale of these products. The Company’s founder has agreed to fund certain administrative operating expenses of the Company until the Company succeeds in raising additional funds. Management’s plans include raising additional funds through an equity financing or licensing transaction in order to meet the Company’s obligations and develop its product candidates, but funding may not be available and the Company may be unsuccessful in raising additional capital of any type. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise as a result of this uncertainty.
NOTE - 3 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - All cash, other than held in escrow, is maintained with a major financial institution in the United States. Deposits with this bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. The company does not have cash equivalents as of March 31, 2013 and 2012.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES - Expenditures for research, development, and engineering of products are expensed as incurred.
COMMON STOCK - The Company records common stock issuances when all of the legal requirements for the issuance of such common stock have been satisfied.
REVENUE AND COST RECOGNITION - The Company has no current source of revenue; therefore the Company has not yet adopted any policy regarding the recognition of revenue or cost.
ADVERTISING COSTS - The Company's policy regarding advertising is to expense advertising when incurred.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2013
INCOME TAXES - Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences. Such temporary differences result from differences in the carrying value of assets and liabilities for tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10 "Uncertainty in Income Taxes" (ASC 740-10), on January 1, 2007. The Company has not recognized a liability as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits has not been provided since there is no unrecognized benefit since the date of adoption. The Company has not recognized interest expense or penalties as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10. If there were an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.
LOSS PER SHARE - Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares may consist of incremental shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of notes payable to common stock. In periods in which a net loss has been incurred, all potentially dilutive common shares are considered anti-dilutive and thus are excluded from the calculation. At December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any potentially dilutive common shares.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) introduced a framework for measuring fair value and expanded required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. The Company adopted the standard for those financial assets and liabilities as of the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year and the impact of adoption was not significant. FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2013. These financial instruments include stock options granted to the officers in 2012.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective January 2012, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (ASU 2011-04). ASU 2011-04 represents the converged guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) on fair value measurement. A variety of measures are included in the update intended to either clarify existing fair value measurement requirements, change particular principles requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, the FASB does not intend to change the application of existing requirements under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. ASU 2011-04 was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2013
Effective January 2012, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05). ASU 2011-05 is intended to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income and to facilitate convergence of accounting guidance in this area with that of the IASB. The amendments require that all nonowner changes in shareholders’ equity be presented in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (ASU 2011-12). ASU 2011-12 defers the provisions of ASU 2011-05 that require the presentation of reclassification adjustments on the face of both the statement of income and statement of other comprehensive income. Amendments under ASU 2011-05 that were not deferred under ASU 2011-12 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). The amendments in ASU 2011-11 require the disclosure of information on offsetting and related arrangements for financial and derivative instruments to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Amendments under ASU 2011-11 will be applied retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after January 1, 2013. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, adoption of ASU 2011-11 will have on its financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive (ASU 2013-02). This guidance is the culmination of the FASB’s deliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income. However, the amendments require disclosure of amounts reclassified out of AOCI in its entirety, by component, on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes thereto. Amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income must be cross referenced to other disclosures that provide additional detail. This standard is effective prospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, the adoption of ASU 2013-02 will have on its financial statements.
NOTE 4 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense in its statement of operations based on estimates of the fair value of employee stock option and stock grant awards as measured on the grant date. For stock options, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the value of the awards granted. The Company amortizes the estimated value of the options as of the grant date over the stock options’ vesting period, which is generally four years.
During the year ended March 31, 2013, the Company entered into an employment agreement under which it agreed to grant options to purchase 1,750,000 shares of common stock to its officer. Pursuant to the terms of each of the employment agreements, the options will vest over approximately four years from the date of the officer’s commenced employment and will have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Company granted options to these officers at the $0.0001 per share exercise price, in part, because the employment agreements do not provide for the officers to receive any cash compensation until the Company secures at least $2 million in financing.
The Company has estimated the value of common stock into which the options are exercisable at $.0001 per share for financial reporting purposes at par value. Greentech Mining International common stock has never traded publicly, and no stock has traded in private markets either, except for privately negotiated sales to the founders of the company and the stock-based compensation was granted when the Company had no assets and was a shell company. No common stock has been sold in any transactions since the Company emerged from its shell-company status. The Company does not have any offers for purchase of its common stock in any stage, and no stock is registered for resale with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company believes the only material estimate used in estimating the value stock options was the estimated fair value of the common stock, and that assumed volatility, term, interest rate and dividend yield changes would be not result in material differences in stock option valuations. Based on the assumed value of common stock, the grant-date fair value of options granted during the year ended March 31, 2013 was minimal.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2013
The Company has reserved a total of 7,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under its stock award plan, and issued 1,750,000 as of March 31, 2013 and per our Company’s Stock Plan the plan re-triggers to 25% of the total outstanding shares on January 1, 2013, therefore as of March 31, 2013 the Company has a reserve of 5,750,000 shares of common stock for issuance under its stock award plan.
NOTE 5 - STOCK AND STOCK TRANSACTIONS
Preferred Stock
The Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share. The Company’s Board of Directors has the ability to determine the rights and preferences of any series of preferred stock issued. There are no shares of preferred stock currently issued or outstanding.
Common Stock
The Company has authorized 100,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share.
At inception (February 6, 2012), the Company issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock to Accelerated Venture Partners, LLC (“AVP”) for $2,000.
On June 26, 2012, the Company issued 26,500,000, shares of common stock to Novus Aurum Trust at par value.
On June 26, 2012, AVP tendered 1,500,000 shares to the Company for cancellation.
On June 27, the Company granted AVP an option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of common stock at par value in exchange for certain consulting services, and AVP immediately exercised this option. The Company has the option to repurchase the shares exercised under the option at par value if the below milestones are not met within a specified time.
As of March 31, 2013, there were 31,000,000 shares issued and outstanding and 7,500,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the Company’s Stock Option Plan and 5,500,000 of these shares remained available for future issuance as of March 31, 2013. There were 69,000,000 shares of common stock available for future issuance.
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
The Company has incurred net operating losses since inception. The Company has not reflected any benefit of such net operating loss carry forward in the financial statements.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income.
Based on the level of historical taxable losses and projections of future taxable income (losses) over the periods in which the deferred tax assets can be realized, management currently believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences. Accordingly, the Company has provided a valuation allowance against the gross deferred tax assets as follows:
March 31, 2013 | ||||
Gross deferred tax assets | $ | 109,345 | ||
Valuation allowance | (109,345) | |||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | - |
As of March 31, 2013, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $109,345, which will begin to expired in the tax year 2028.
Federal tax laws impose significant restrictions on the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits in the event of a change in ownership of the Company, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits may be subject to the above limitations.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2013
The relevant FASB standard resulted in no adjustments to the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits. As of the date of adoption and as of March 31, 2013 there were no unrecognizable tax benefits. Accordingly, a tabular reconciliation from beginning to ending periods is not provided. The Company will classify any future interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense if incurred. To date, there have been no interest or penalties charged or accrued in relation to unrecognized tax benefits. The Company is subject to federal and state examinations for the year 2008 forward. There are no tax examinations currently in progress.
NOTE 7 - OPTION AGREEMENTS
On September 17, 2012, we entered into an Operating, Exploration and Option to Purchase Agreement (Option Agreement) with Greentech Mining, Inc. a Delaware Corporation and Greentech Mining Utah, LLC a Utah limited liability company, (“Owners”), both entities are under common control, pursuant to which the Company received exclusive rights that consists of all 671 acres of Section 36, Township 29 South, Range 11 East, Salt Lake Base and Meridian, in Wayne County, Utah upon which an operating gravimetric circuit (system to separate minerals by weight) has been built on the private property. In addition, the agreement includes four Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) mining claim groups totaling 3,940 acres to:
a. | Exploring and prospecting for, developing, mining, excavating, leaching, milling, processing and smelting, whether by open pit, underground, strip mining, solution mining, heap leaching, or any other methods deemed desirable by the Company in its sole discretion, all minerals, ores, valuable rocks, rare earths and materials of all kinds, including mine dumps and tailings (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Contracted Substances”); |
b. | Processing, concentrating, beneficiating, treating, milling, smelting, shipping, selling and otherwise disposing of the Contracted Substances and receiving the proceeds of any such sale; |
c. | Erecting, constructing, maintaining, using and operating any such buildings, structures, machinery, facilities and equipment the Company deems necessary, except that modifications to existing structures machinery, facilities and equipment require the prior approval of the Owner; and |
d. | Engaging in any other activity that Contractor deems reasonable and necessary to achieve the foregoing purposes |
The term of the Option Agreement is for three (3) years from the effective date set forth above, and may be renewed by the Company for successive three (3) year periods upon substantially the same terms and provisions as set forth herein based upon the then-capital structure of the Company, until declared forfeited and canceled by Owner or relinquished by the Company, as described in Note 8. The Company shall give Owner written notice of each renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the respective three-year term. The Option Agreement shall automatically renew and continue so long as ores, minerals, or metals are produced or sold from the Henry Mountain Project on a continuous basis. The Company shall have the continuing right to terminate the Option Agreement at any time and to surrender the Henry Mountain Project to Owner by giving Owner written notice thereof at least 30 days prior to the stated date of termination. Termination of the Option Agreement shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to pay all royalties due to Owner as well as its pro-rata share of taxes and fees. The Company has received a verbal agreement from the Owner to extend the payment dates in the agreement from December 1, 2012 to August 1, 2013.
On September 22, 2012, the Company entered into a Mineral Claim Option Agreement (MCOA). Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has an option to purchase a 100% interest in certain mining claims located in the state of Arizona over twelve months, as described in Note 8. The Company was granted the exclusive and irrevocable right during the agreement and the first right of refusal on any offer received by Optionor during the first sixty days of the agreement on the property The right of first refusal or first option to purchase may only be exercised by the Company within fourteen days (14) days from notification by Optionor that Optionor’s desires to sell the subject property and Optionor is obligated to provide such notice to the company prior to offering the subject property to a third party.

The agreement requires AVP to provide the Company with certain advisory services that include reviewing the Company’s business plan, identifying and introducing prospective financial and business partners, and providing general business advice regarding the Company’s operations and business strategy in consideration of (a) an option granted by the Company to AVP to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.0001 per share (the “AVP Option”) (which was immediately exercised by the holder) subject to a repurchase option granted to the Company to repurchase the shares at a price of $0.0001 per share in the event the Company fails to complete funding within twelve months as detailed in the agreement subject to the following milestones:
Milestone 1 – | Company’s right of repurchase will lapse with respect to 60% of the shares upon securing $10 million in available cash from funding; |
Milestone 2 – | Company’s right of repurchase will lapse with respect to 40% of the Shares upon securing $15 million in available cash (inclusive of any amounts attributable to Milestone 1); |
and (b) cash compensation at a rate of $37,500 per month. The payment of such compensation is subject to Company’s achievement of certain designated milestones, specifically, cash compensation of $600,000 is due consultant upon the achievement of Milestone 1, and $300,000 upon the achievement of Milestone 2. Upon achieving each Milestone, the cash compensation is to be paid to consultant in the amount then due at the rate of $37,500 per month. The total cash compensation to be received by the consultant is not to exceed $900,000 unless Company receives an amount of funding in excess of the amount specified in Milestone 2. If the Company receives equity or debt financing that is an amount less than Milestone 1, in between any of the above Milestones or greater than the above Milestones, the cash compensation earned by the Consultant under this Agreement will be prorated according to the above Milestones. The Company will allow the Consultant to invest up to an additional $5 million in any future debt or equity offering of the Company on the same terms and conditions offered to other participants in such offerings. The Consultant will not be obligated to participate in any such offerings. Accelerated Venture Partners has executed ten consulting agreements with public shell companies it formally controlled and none of the milestones under consulting agreements have been timely achieved. Of the ten consulting services agreements, Accelerated Venture Partners terminated one, one is expired and the company has not elected to terminate the agreement and repurchase the consulting share. Furthermore, the remaining eight companies have either renewed consulting agreements with Accelerated Venture Partners or are under the original consulting agreement.
