Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
In March 2006 Tara Gold acquired the Lluvia de Oro property from Atotonilco Construcciones, S.A. In consideration for the assignment of its interest in this prospect Tara Gold agreed to pay $4,000,000, plus a value-added tax of $600,000, to Atotonilco Construcciones, S.A. according to the following schedule:
2007
$ 2,127,500
2008
2,472,500
$ 4,600,000
The Lluvia de Oro property is comprised of 580 hectares located 13 km northwest of Magdalena de Kino, Sonora, Mexico. Situated on this property is a complete recovery plant with three solution ponds, two 700 gallon per minute carbon column sets, carbon stripping equipment, a carbon regeneration unit, and one dorè furnace. In addition, there is a double-lined leach pad with, 2,921,000 tonnes placed on the pad by previous operators, and a drill hole database of 260 drill holes which partially defined two zones of gold-silver-copper mineralization. Field office facilities are in-place at the mine. The Lluvia de Oro property was in production between 1996 and 1998.
On April 4, 2006 Tara Gold signed an agreement, as amended on September 12, 2006, with NWM Mining Corporation (formerly Columbia Metals Corporation Limited) providing NWM the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Lluvia de Oro prospect by:
·
paying $550,000 to Tara Gold;
·
paying all remaining property payments;
·
issuing 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to Tara Gold;
·
reserving a 20% net cash flow interest in favor of Tara Gold.
The net cash flow interest entitled Tara Gold to 20% of the revenue from the operation of the property, less all expenses associated with maintaining and operating the property. Although Tara Gold was not required to pay any of these expenses, if NWM decided to explore for more reserves Tara Gold would have been required to pay 20% of the exploration expenses.
NWMs exploration program has verified the existence of gold deposits on the property. NWM has completed final engineering studies on the mine and processing facilities and has compled the upgrade of the mill and mine development. Production on the property resumed in the second quarter of 2008.
In December 2008 NWM exercised the option to acquire the 100% interest in the Lluvia de Oro prospect by making the final property payment and Tara Gold retained the 20% net cash flow interest in the prospect.
On December 4, 2009 Tara Gold sold its net cash flow interest in the Lluvia de Oro prospect to NWM for $230,000 and 2,500,000 shares of NWMs common stock. Tara Gold will be entitled to an additional 2,500,000 shares of NWMs common stock after NWM produces and sells, during any three-month period, 3,750 ounces of gold mined from the prospect.
