26 June 2012financial restatement▼ Bad
This amendment repeats the June 15 restatement notice, adding that the 2011 quarterly statements were concluded unreliable on April 16, 2012 and that restated statements were issued on June 18, 2012. The error amounts ($1,432,805) are unchanged.
The company said earlier 2011 quarterly financial statements should not be relied on because they understated exploration expenses by $1,432,805 (cumulative by mid/Sept 2011) related to technical data bought for the Centenario, La Palma and La Verde concessions, paid for in shares with a guaranteed $2.00 price. The 2011 annual report filed April 14, 2012 already corrected the error.
On April 4, 2012 Adit sold its subsidiary American Copper Mining, whose main asset is the Picacho concessions, to Yamana Mexico Holdings. Payments include $7.5 million (less about $780,000 for a tax lien) into escrow, $9.8 million a year later, $4.3 million after six years, and up to $14 million tied to gold discovered, plus Yamana surrendering its 500,000 Adit shares and 250,000 warrants. Yamana can terminate around the one-year mark, which would return the company and property. This follows the January 2011 option and the filing says the property has no proven reserves.
Auditor Mendoza Berger resigned on February 3, 2012 because of a change in the firm's organization structure, and the company hired Wilson Morgan LLP on February 8, 2012. The filing reports no disagreements and prior audit reports carried a going-concern explanatory paragraph. (The filing text names Tara Gold Resources in places, apparently in error.)
On August 8, 2011 the company gave Carnegie Mining and Exploration an option to earn up to 50% of the Don Ramon (Don Roman) mine and its Mexican iron ore projects, including Tania, in return for spending commitments (e.g. $2,000,000 and $6,000,000 for 30%, a further $5,000,000 for 50%). Carnegie had paid $100,000 and spent $150,000 toward restarting the mine. The company could give up part of these projects if Carnegie meets the targets.
On January 28, 2011 the roughly 90%-owned subsidiary Adit Resources sold 500,000 units at $1.00 to Yamana Gold, and signed a letter of intent giving Yamana an option to earn up to 70% of the Picacho gold/silver project in Sonora, Mexico. If a definitive agreement follows, Yamana buys another 2,500,000 units ($3,000,000 total), and can earn 51% by spending $5,000,000 more and paying $1,000,000, then 70% with a further $9,000,000 and $2,000,000.
