Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On April 1, 2011, the Registrant accepted a conversion notice from Tangiers Investors LP, ("Tangiers") to partially satisfy a Convertible Promissory Note Agreement ("the Note") dated December 30, 2010 with Tangiers pursuant to which the Company received $50,000 as a loan from Tangiers. Pursuant to the terms of the Note, the Note is convertible to common stock, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time before maturity at the option of the holder at the greater of (a) $0.005 or (b) seventy percent (70%) of the lowest traded price of common stock out of the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The Note has a term of one year and accrues interest at a rate equal to 9.9% per year. In accordance with the terms of the Note and receipt of the required conversion notice from Tangiers, the Note was converted into 975,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company to satisfy $27,982.50 of the principal. The remaining amount outstanding on the Note is $22,017.50 plus interest. The shares issued were valued at $0.0287 per share, which was equal to 70% of the lowest traded price of our common stock out of the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The shares were issued on April 4, 2011, and will remain restricted until at least June 30, 2011.
Tangiers is an “accredited investor” as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D. The Company paid no fees or commissions in connection with the issuance of the Shares in satisfaction of the debt. The Company believes that this transaction is exempt from registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
