We will need substantial capital over the next year. We project that we will need about $300,000 of capital until we begin receiving steady revenues from the processing of tailings at our mine site, about $5,000,000 to complete a confirmation process, excluding the cost of drafting and completing a 43-101 report, and another $6,000,000 to commence processing raw ore. In addition, we financed a lot of prior activities by the issuance of convertible notes that mature two years after their issuance. In particular, as of March 31, 2011, we had outstanding $2,690,367 in notes payable, of which $257,000 is due within one year of that date. Also, beginning January 1, 2012, we are obligated to make monthly payments of $83,333 to GoldLand under our lease of its mining interests on War Eagle Mountain.
We have recently entered into an equity line of credit with Centurion Private Equity, LLC, under which we are entitled to raise up to $7.2 million from the sale of our shares to Centurion over a 24 month period. Centurion is obligated to purchase our shares pursuant to put notices that we send from time to time at a purchase price equal to 97% of the market price of our common stock, as defined in the agreement. In order to draw under the equity line of credit, we must first file and obtain approval of a registration statement covering all shares issuable under the equity line of credit. The issuance of shares under the equity line of credit could result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders. This financing will enable us to commence the confirmation phase of our business plan, which is the prove up of reserves on our property
The amount of capital that we currently have the capacity to raise is not sufficient to pay all of the capital expenses that we need to pay to commence operations, and pay our other liabilities as they come due. However, we have a number of options that we believe will enable us to continue with our business plan despite insufficient capital. For example, we plan to continue deferring payment of salaries to our management or paying their salaries in common stock, deferring certain accounts payable, and monthly lease payments to GoldLand, because in each case we do not expect the creditor to take any legal action against us as a result of the deferral. GoldLand, for example, is controlled by our officers, and therefore we do not expect GoldLand to take any legal action as a result of our deferral of lease payments to it. We also plan to continue issuing shares to certain service providers that are willing to accept shares for payment. In the event we are able to raise some, but not all, of the capital that we need, we plan to request that note holders extend the maturity of their notes or convert their notes into shares of common stock.

Going Concern
Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we incurred a net operating loss in the three months ended March 31, 2011, and have no revenues at this time. These factors create an uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are currently trying to raise capital through a private offering of convertible notes and to solicit existing convertible note holders to convert their notes into common stock. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the success of this plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
