Background
Ammex Gold Mining Corp. ("Ammex the company the corporation "we" or "us") is an exploration stage mining company with no ore reserves or mining operations. Our activities to date have been, and our current activities are, limited to searching for material from which we may be able to extract precious minerals and designing a process for profitable extraction. There is no assurance that commercially viable mineral deposits exist on any property we own or may acquire. Any further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of our plans can be made.
We were incorporated on November 20, 2002 under the laws of the state of Nevada as Reese Corp. On August 18, 2006, we amended our certificate of incorporation with the state of Nevada to change our name to Ammex Gold Mining Corp. We believe that the name change more accurately reflects our new corporate direction as a precious metals mining exploration company. Our chief executive officer is Christopher Crupi, a former Vice President of PricewaterhouseCoopers. Mr. Crupi oversees the administrative and operational activities. In addition to his duties at AmMex Gold Mining Corp., Mr. Crupi is also President and CFO of Paramount Gold Mining Corp., a publicly traded mining exploration company with property interests in South America and Mexico.
Properties
El Tiliche Mining Concessions, Sonora, Mexico
On July 25, 2006 the corporation acquired 100% of Minera Jeronimo S.A. de C.V. The key asset in Minera Jeronimo is the El Tiliche project, located in NW Sonora, Mexico, approximately 50 kilometers NE of the Penoles-Newmont Herradura Gold Mine, within the gold belt that stretches from southern California to central Sonora. The Mesquite mine and the Picacho mine are among other large gold producers in this belt. Minera Jeronimo controls a very strategically located and large 14,300 hectares of mineral rights in 6 contiguous mining concessions. El Tiliche has been advanced over the past 2 years with a number of exploration programs and now boasts at least 6 drill-ready targets. Numerous surface samples have yielded over 5 grams gold per ton and over 100 grams silver per ton, which compares very well with early results at other producing mines in this belt.
The El Tiliche concessions are located at the intersection of a series of NE-SW high angle structures that pass through the Herradura gold deposit, and NW trending transform faults that makeup part of the Sonora-Mojave Megashear. Gold and silver mineralization associated with low angle faulting, as well as with higher angle structures, has been recognized in a number of areas within the concession block. Numerous small mine workings and prospects were mapped and sampled during a recently completed detailed reconnaissance of the property.
Intrusive and volcanic rocks of Jurassic age outcrop over a wide area in numerous low hills that are separated by areas of thin alluvial cover, and mineralized zones often project under this alluvial cover. During the recently completed detailed reconnaissance of the area, 584 rock chip samples were collected and sent to ALS Chemex Laboratories for analysis.
While the results of the recently completed program are still being studied, at least 8 areas have been identified for drill testing. A 4,000-plus meter drill program commenced in the fall of 2006. Results are currently being analyzed.
The corporation acquired Minera Jeronimo by issuing 1,455,000 restricted common shares, and must maintain the concessions in good standing. Minera Jeronimo can earn a 65% interest in the El Tiliche project by spending US$400,000 on exploration during the next 12 months.
Bailley Hills (Carlin Trend), Nevada, USA
On July 31, 2006 we entered into an option agreement to earn an 80% interest from Consolidated Global Minerals Ltd. in the Bailey Hills property located along the Carlin Trend within the Great Basin of Nevada. The Bailey Hills project covers approximately 4.5 square miles (approx. 3,000 acres) and consists of 150 mining claims within the southernmost part of the Carlin Trend, along a prospective northwest structural zone which hosts numerous world-class gold deposits.
The structural and lithologic setting at Bailey Hills, both on a regional and property scale, is a direct analog to that at the 1.5 million ounce gold Rain / Emigrant deposits (Newmont), located 43 miles north-northwest of the Bailey Hills project. Underlying the Bailey Hills property are the same units which host gold at Rain, and proximal intrusions are noted at both. Recognition of these intrusive bodies at Bailey Hills was previously hampered by post-mineralization volcanic cover rocks, but geophysical surveys have identified intrusive rocks and numerous high angle faults underlying the claim area.
A substantial database of geological, geochemical and geophysical data has been obtained for the project from previous operators. Results from surface exploration, geophysics and initial drilling compare well with the lithology, geochemistry and structure of several known mines on the Carlin Trend. A CSAMT (resistivity) geophysical survey has just been completed for the corporation and is currently being interpreted.
Drill targets will be selected based on the compilation and evaluation of this data. A first phase drill program of approximately 15 deep drill holes is being planned and permitted for the Bailey Hills property and is expected to commence in late 2006.
A controlled source audio-magnetotelluric (CSAMT) survey was completed during the fall of 2006 over a portion of the Bailey Hills property. Objective of the survey was to detail horsts and horst boundaries prior to drill testing. The horst complex had previously been defined by gravity surveys and drilling completed in 1997 by Newmont Mining Corp. The target model is based upon the Rain mine analogy, where gold mineralization is contained in breccia at the Devils Gate Limestone (Ddg) Webb (Mw) contact. However, the gold on the contact is confined to a limited portion immediately adjacent to feeder structures. Mineralization is generally found only within 60 to 100m of the feeder. Thus, it is imperative the drill targeting be directed at the Ddg / Mw contact proximal to the feeder structure.
The CSAMT survey delineated the horst in sufficient detail as to permit drill testing for a Rain type target. A total of fifteen (15) holes are proposed with thirteen (13) to test the Devils Gate - Webb contact proximal to feeder structures and two intended to test a sub-parallel structure bounding an interpreted Eocene intrusion. Further details regarding the CSAMT survey can be found on our website: www.ammexgoldmining.com.
The Company completed the first drill hole at drill site (P7) at their Bailey Hills project and intersected the Devils Gate formation at a depth of 980 feet, which is very close to that predicted by the CSAMT study, ending at a total depth of 1260 feet. Drilling is ongoing and is currently at a depth of 970 feet at hole #2, drill site (P1). A 10,000 feet RC drill program commenced in December 2006 to test the targeted zones.
Under the terms of the option agreement, we can earn a 80% interest in the property from Consolidated Global Minerals Ltd. with an upfront cash payment of US$25,000; and expenditures of US$4,000,000 within a three-year period, payable as follows: US$1,000.000 in year one, US$1,500,000 in year two and US$1,500,000 in year three. The upfront cash payment has been made. We have also advanced $200,000 towards our first year work commitment and set aside another $277,000 for this purpose.
Ox Creek Property, Callaghan district, Nevada, USA
On July 17, 2006 we signed a Letter of Intent to acquire a 100% interest in 29 claims, located 13 miles northeast of Austin, Nevada (Callaghan Property). The property consists of 29 claims covering approximately 560 acres, where surface samples have shown gold grades of up to 31 grams per tonne over a width of 3 feet. Geologically, it is located within and adjacent to the Callaghan Mountain structural window through the Roberts Mountains Thrust, in an area of strong hydrothermal alteration and highly anomalous geochemistry. These are associated with high angle faulting as well as the low angle thrust zones.
Available data from prior exploration in the area confirms in detail the presence of highly anomalous concentrations of gold, arsenic, antimony, mercury, zinc and silver in soils, rock chips and drill cuttings, with associated decalcification of silty limestones and locally intense silicification. There have been narrow drill intercepts and surface rock samples with gold contents up to 0.10 ounces per ton. Lithologic units very favorable to mineralization are thinly overlain by thrust plates of less favorable host rocks.
An exploration target is located on the southern extension of the poorly defined Cottonwood Spring resource of 50,000 - 75,000 ounces of gold, apparently controlled by faulting and favorable lithologies. Our technical personnel are currently compiling a large amount of data produced by earlier exploration groups to better define additional structural, geochemical and lithological exploration targets. We are currently conducting work planning on this property.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company has the right to earn a 100% interest in 29 unpatented mining claims situated near Austin, Nevada in consideration for minimum advance royalty payments totalling $145,141 over a six year period and $35,000 every year thereafter, an annual work commitment of $25,000 per year commencing from July 12, 2007 and costs to keep the property in good standing. In addition, the property vendor is entitled to a 2% NSR on any production up to a maximum of $10,000,000. The Company will have the right to purchase 1% of the NSR for $1,000,000.
The term of the contract is 25 years and renewable for another 25 years.
Regulation and Licensing
Our exploration activities will be subject to various laws and regulations governing prospecting, taxes, labor standards, occupational safety and health, waste disposal, protection and reclamation of the environment, protection of endangered and protected species, toxic substances and other matters. We may in the future be subject to clean up liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and other federal and state rules that establish cleanup liability for the release of hazardous substances. Further amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of companies involved in mineral exploration are actively considered from time to time and could have a material adverse impact on us. We may also be subject to environmental and employment regulations at the state level. We do not expect to incur a material expense in complying with state requirements, unless or until we advance to the development or production stage.
We will be required to obtain necessary permits or exemptions for exploration work to commence. Once we commence exploratory activities, we may experience material adverse economic effects as a result of complying with applicable laws relating to the protection of the environment. If and when we are able to commence exploration or production, such issues will become more complex and costly to deal with.
Environmental and other laws and regulations change periodically. We cannot determine the impact of future changes in such laws and regulations on our operations or future financial position. We believe the Company is currently in substantial compliance with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. If we are not in compliance with any such law or regulation, we may be subject to fines, clean-up orders, restrictions on operations, or other penalties.
Competition
The business of mineral exploration is highly competitive and tends to be dominated by a limited number of major mining companies. Although we do not compete directly against any particular firms for sales or market share, many of the human and physical resources we may require - such as engineering professionals, geologists, skilled equipment operators, and managers, as well as extractive and metallurgical processes and equipment -- are also sought by companies with substantially greater financial means than we possess, which places us at a competitive disadvantage in obtaining such resources. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we will be able to obtain the human and physical resources we may need from time to time or to obtain them at an affordable cost.
Market Description
Gold and Silver
We are a precious metals exploration and development company. The gold markets have been strong since 2001, where gold has increased from of $624 per ounce and silver has increased from $4.58 per ounce to its current $668. Management believes that both the gold for the foreseeable future. Management believes that for so long as gold remains above $300 per ounce, the properties under exploration remain commercially viable if geological results prove positive.
Employees
As of December 31, 2006 besides its 3 executive officers, the Company employed 5 full-time employees. We believe that our relationship with our employees is positive.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months December 31, 2006 to the Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2006.
Revenues and Expenses
The Company has $34,221 in interest revenue for the three and six month period ended December 31, 2006 representing interest on surplus cash balances.
Exploration expenses for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2006 are approximately $499,000 and $568,468 respectively and represent drilling and other expenses on the El Tiliche and Bailey Hills projects. Geologists fees and expenses for the periods also relate to the El Tiliche and Bailey Hills projects.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As at December 31, 2006 the Company had cash on hand of $201,745 sufficient to fund ongoing operations for some time. The Company has started initiatives to raise funds by way of private placement financing by mid 2007.
Assets and Liabilities
Fixed assets are primarily comprised of office equipment. Prepaid expenses in the amount of $306,580 are for services to be rendered including drilling contractors and professional services.
Critical Accounting Policies
Financial Reporting Release No. 60, which was released by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), encourages all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. The Company's consolidated financial statements include a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements.
Pre-exploration Stage Company
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 7 and The Securities and Exchange Commission Exchange Act Guide 7 for its characterization of the Company as pre-exploration stage.
Capitalization of Mineral Claim Costs
Cost of acquisition, exploration, carrying and retaining unproven properties are expensed as incurred until such time as reserves are proven. Costs incurred in proving and developing a property ready for production are capitalized and amortized over the life of the mineral deposit or over a shorter period if the property is shown to have an impairment in value. Expenditures for mining equipment are capitalized and depreciated over their useful life.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys former subsidiary, Oasis, translated amounts from its functional currency, Canadian dollars, to the reporting currency, United States dollars, in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. At cash balance sheet date, recorded balances that are denominated in a currency other than US dollars are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate which may give rise to a foreign currency translation adjustment accounted for as a separate component of stockholders deficiency and included in comprehensive loss.
Monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the reporting currency at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the year. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing when the assets were acquired or the liabilities assumed. Revenues and expenses are translated at the rate approximating the rate of exchange on the transaction date. All exchange gains and losses are included in the determination of net income (loss) for the year.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the assets and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and loss carryforwards and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Basic Loss Per Share
The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of the Companys financial instruments, consisting of amounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Due to related parties also approximates its fair value. Unless otherwise noted, it is managements opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Comprehensive Loss
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive loss is comprised of net loss and foreign currency translation adjustments.
New Accounting Standards
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share Based Payment, that addresses the accounting transactions in which a company exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. SFAS No. 123R requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair value based method. Adoption of SFAS No. 123R is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2005.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
As of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company's chief executive officer and its principal financial officer (the Certifying Officers), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company's periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including these officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Certifying Officer has also indicated that there were no significant changes in our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation and there were no corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
Our management, including the Certifying Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any systems of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
