ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The company has focused its efforts on bringing the Las Coloradas mine into
production. Prior to April 1, 1997 the company had a carried interest in
mine development and subsequent to that date the company will be responsible
for funding its percentage of any cash requirements to complete development.
The Las Coloradas mine has exceeded cost estimated for development which
requires the company to fund its share of these costs. Production from the
mill has commenced at approximately 30 to 40 tons per day and will continue
at this level while operating supplies last. Access to the mine with
supplies is on hold due to road conditions during the rainy season.
Shipments of concentrates to the smelter will begin in the near future
pending road conditions. The company has executed agreements to extend the
option period of both the Rosarence agreement and the Las Coloradas joint
venture agreement to April 30, 1998. The extension to the Rosarence
agreement requires the company to enter into a exploration program expending
minimum of $100,000 by April 30, 1998, maintaining the La Sierra concession
in good standing with governmental agencies, make monthly payments of $3,000
per month commencing September 1, 1997 until the purchase option is fulfilled
on or before April 30, 1998. The extension to the Las Coloradas joint venture
agreement requires the company to make cash requirements promptly and to make
monthly payments of $3,000 per month commencing September 1, 1997 until the
purchase option is fulfilled on or before April 30, 1998.
The company is continuing in its plan with the reclamation program on the
Morning Star Mine to neutralize the leach pad and extract some of the
inventory of precious metals at the same time. Plans to put the mine into
production have been put on hold until the reclamation permit from the county
has been acquired.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
Comparison of six months ended June 30, 1997 to six months ended June 30,
1996.
The Company realized a net loss of $259,000 ($0.007 per share) for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 which is $96,000 greater than the $163,000
($0.001 per share) net loss for the six months ended June 30, 1996. These
quarterly losses reflect the fact that the Company was concentrating on
reclamation and remediation activities at the Morning Star Mine ("Mine") and
consolidating its property position in Mexico
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The Company's net working capital deficit decreased by $26,000 over that of
December 31, 1996. During the six months ended June 30,1997 operating losses
and additions to property were funded primarily through issuance of stock for
cash and property.
The company has sustained recurring losses from operations and has a
significant working capital deficit. Although the Company raised equity
capital from private placements in 1996 and the first six months of 1997, due
to the uncertainties regarding its ability to develop and attain profitable
operations and raise capital in the future, there can be no assurance of the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
