Corporate History
Our company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 26, 2006. On January 18, 2007 we effected a 9 for 1 stock split of our common stock. As a result our authorized capital increased to 450,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001.
Our common shares were quoted for trading on the OTCBB under the symbol "GMNX". On January 29, 2007 our symbol changed to "GMXP".
On July 10, 2007, we effected a 2 for 1 stock split of our common stock. As a result our authorized capital increased to 900,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. On July 11, 2007 our symbol changed to "GXPI".
Our executive offices are located at Suite 103, 240 - 11th Avenue SW, Calgary, Alberta Canada T2R 0C3.
In May 2006, Mr. Salameh, our former president and a former member of our board of directors acquired one mineral property containing 16 contiguous cells in British Columbia, Canada by arranging the staking of the same through James W. McLeod, a non affiliated third party for $3,500. Mr. McLeod is a self employed contract staker and field worker residing in Surrey, British Columbia. We have not paid and do not intend to reimburse Mr. Salameh for the cost of acquiring the claim.
Canadian jurisdictions allow a mineral explorer to claim a portion of available Crown lands as its exclusive area for exploration by depositing posts or other visible markers to indicate a claimed area. The process of posting the area is
known as staking. The claim is recorded in the name of Mr. Salameh, a former officer and director of our company and the claim was recently transferred to Michael Hill, one of our current officers and directors. No money will be paid to Mr. Hill to transfer the property to us. Mr. Hill executed a declaration of trust wherein he agreed to hold the property for us and would deliver title upon our demand.
To date we have not performed any work on the property and have since let the mineral claim lapse.
On February 9, 2007, we entered into a mining acquisition agreement with Minera Primecap S.A. whereby we acquired a 100% undivided interest in and to exploitation license number 17486 located in the municipality of Los Andes, Sotomayor, Nariņo, Columbia. In consideration for the interest, we agreed to pay to Minera Primecap S.A. $150,000, which has been paid, and to issue 5,000,000 post-split shares of common stock of our company, of which 2,500,000 shares were issued on December 4, 2007 and 2,500,000 shares were issued on February 11, 2008. Our company will be the operator of the property.
On August 23, 2007, we entered into a mining acquisition agreement with James Sikora to acquire the Los Chorros Gold Mine, a producing gold property in the El Bagre-Zargoza mining district, department of Antioquia, Colombia. Pursuant to the mining acquisition agreement, we acquired an 80% majority controlling interest in the Los Chorros mine for the sum of $100,000, which has been paid, and the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of our company, which shares were issued on December 4, 2007. We have the right of refusal to acquire the remaining 20% interest in the Los Chorros mine within 18 months of the effective date.
Our Current Business
We are an exploration stage corporation. We had the right to conduct exploration activities on one of our properties, but we have since let that mineral claim lapse. We intend to conduct exploration work on our La Planada project located in Colombia. Accordingly, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists in the property; in fact, the likelihood that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists is remote.
On February 9, 2007, we entered into a mining acquisition agreement with Mineral Primecap S.A. whereby we acquired a 100% undivided interest in and to exploitation license number 17486 located in the municipality of Los Andes, Sotomayor, Narino, Colombia (the "La Planada" project). In consideration for the interest, we agreed to pay to Mineral Primecap S.A. $150,000, which has been paid and to issue 5,000,000 post-split shares of common stock of our company, which shares have been issued.
During the quarter ended January 31, 2008, sampling and trenching were conducted on the La Planda project. We intend to conduct roadwork trenching, sampling and identification of drilling targets for gold on our La Planada gold project. In addition, we held meetings with a TSX listed mineral and exploration company to discuss joint venture development of La Planada.

During the quarter ended January 31, 2008, sampling and trenching were conducted on the Los Chorros property. In addition, we are in the process of mine upgrade designing and expansion planning. RMS Ross Corporation, a company that provides us with consulting services for mining operations, met with senior management and geologists of Minera Primecap Geological Services in Colombia to plan the mill design and upgrade.
For the nine month period ended January 31, 2008, we incurred $141,055 in exploration costs, $30,000 of which was incurred in the three month period ended January 31, 2008.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
PLAN OF OPERATIONS AND CASH REQUIREMENTS
Cash Requirements
There is limited historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from activities. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business activities. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
Not accounting for our working capital deficit of $681,338, we require additional funds of approximately $270,000 at a minimum to proceed with our plan of operation over the next twelve months, exclusive of any acquisition or exploration costs. As we do not have the funds necessary to cover our projected operating expenses for the next twelve month period, we will be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, through loans or through debt financing. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the required capital or that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. We intend to fulfill any additional cash requirement through the sale of our equity securities.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion for the year ended April 30, 2007. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. As we had cash in the amount of $Nil and a working capital deficit in the amount of $681,338 as of January 31, 2008, we do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months. We plan to complete debt financings and/or private placement sales of our common stock in order to raise the funds necessary to pursue our plan of operation and to fund our working capital deficit in order to enable us to pay our accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any debt financings or private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any debt financing or private placement financing. Our success or failure will be determined by what we find under the ground.
Our officers and directors are unwilling to make any commitment to loan us any money at this time. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash. If we need additional cash and can't raise it, we will either have to suspend activities until we do raise the cash, or cease activities entirely. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.
We have a 100% interest in the exploitation license on the La Planada gold project and an 80% interest in the Los Chorros project, both located in Colombia. Even if we complete our current exploration program and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further exploration and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this quarterly report, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business activities.
We issued 5,000,000 pre-split shares of common stock through a private placement pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 to our former sole officer and director in March 2006 in consideration of $5,000. The shares were sold to a non-US person and all transactions closed outside the United States of America. This was accounted for as a purchase of shares of common stock.
In April 2006, we completed a private placement of 3,000,000 pre-split restricted shares of common stock pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 and raised $30,000. All of the shares were sold to non-US persons and all transactions closed outside the United States of America. This was accounted for as a purchase of shares of common stock.
In February of 2007, we received a $100,000 unsecured loan from an arms length investor which was paid directly to the vendor of our La Planada project. As at April 30, 2007, we received an additional $250,000 unsecured loan from the same arms length investor. The loans are non-interest bearing, unsecured and have no fixed repayment terms and we anticipate that the loans will be converted into an equity investment in the near future.
Over the next twelve months we intend to use any funds that we may have available funds to fund our operations and conduct exploration on our La Planada property as follows:
Estimated Net Expenditures During the Next Twelve Months
General, Administrative and Corporate Expenses $ 120,000
Exploration Expenses (consisting of roadwork, trenching, geologists, $ 750,000
sampling)
Professional fees $ 50,000
Additional Working Capital (note working capital deficit of $681,338) $ 100,000
Total $ 1,020,000
|
As of January 31, 2008, our total assets were $765 and our total liabilities were $681,338 and we had a working capital deficit of $681,338. Our financial statements report a net loss of $115,255 for the three month period ended January 31, 2008, and a net loss of $2,156,990 for the period from January 26, 2006 (date of incorporation) to January 31, 2008. Our losses have increased primarily as a result of expenses in all categories, especially mineral property costs. Our net loss from operations increased to $115,255 for the three month period ended January 31, 2008, as compared to $11,166 for the three month period ended January 31, 2007.
We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed. In this regard we have raised additional capital through the equity offerings and loan transactions noted above.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further financing, a successful program of exploration, and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. As noted herein, we are pursuing various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
Product Research and Development
We are conducting research in the form of exploration of our La Planada property. We are not going to buy or sell any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months. We will not buy any equipment until we have located a reserve and we have determined it is economical to extract the minerals from the land.
Purchase of Significant Equipment
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment over the twelve months ending January 31, 2009.
Employees
Currently our only employees are our directors, officers, office administrator and an investor relations consultant. We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period. We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed.
Going Concern
We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should our company discontinue operations.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above, in their report on the annual financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2007, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141R, "Business Combinations". This statement replaces SFAS 141 and defines the acquirer in a business combination as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in a business combination and establishes the acquisition date as the date that the acquirer achieves control. SFAS 141R requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141R also requires the acquirer to recognize contingent consideration at the acquisition date, measured at its fair value at that date. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect our company's financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities -an Amendment of ARB No. 51". This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the Noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our company's financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115". This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our company's financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements". The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our company's future reported financial position or results of operations.
RISK FACTORS
Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements". Such forward looking statements include any projections and estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.
Such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements".
Because our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, there is substantial uncertainty we will continue activities in which case you could lose your investment.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. As such we may have to cease activities and you could lose your investment.
Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote, any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost.
The probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote. In all probability, the property does not contain any reserves. As such, any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost which will result in a loss of your investment.
We lack an operating history and have losses which we expect to continue into the future. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease activities.
We were incorporated in January 2006 and we have not started our proposed business activities or realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss from inception to January 31, 2008 is $2,156,990. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
* our ability to locate a profitable mineral property
* our ability to generate revenues
* our ability to reduce exploration costs.
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the research and exploration of our mineral properties. As a result, we may not generate revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to suspend or cease activities.
Because we will have to spend additional funds to determine if we have a reserve, if we can't raise the money we will have to cease operations and you could lose your investment.
Even if we complete our current exploration program and are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve.
Because our management only has limited technical training or experience in exploring for, starting, and operating an exploration program, management's decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or
managerial approaches mineral exploration companies commonly use. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease activities which will result in the loss of your investment.
Our management has limited experience with exploring for, starting, and operating an exploration program. Further, our management has no direct training or experience in these areas and as a result may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within the industry. Management's decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral exploration companies commonly use. Consequently our activities, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management' s lack of experience in this industry. As a result we may have to suspend or cease activities which will result in the loss of your investment.
Because we are small and do no have much capital, we may have to limit our exploration activity which may result in a loss of your investment.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration activity. As such we may not be able to complete an exploration program that is as thorough as we would like. In that event, an existing reserve may go undiscovered. Without a reserve, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment.
We may not have access to all of the supplies and materials we need to begin exploration which could cause us to delay or suspend activities.
Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies, such as dynamite, and certain equipment such as bulldozers and excavators that we might need to conduct exploration. We have not attempted to locate or negotiate with any suppliers of products, equipment or materials. If we cannot find the products and equipment we need, we will have to suspend our exploration plans until we do find the products and equipment we need.
All of our projects are located in Colombia where mineral exploration activities may be affected in varying degrees by political and government regulations which could have a negative impact on our ability to continue our operations.
Our project is located in Colombia. Exploration activities in Colombia may be affected in varying degrees by political instabilities and government regulations relating to the oil and gas industry. Any changes in regulations or . . .
