Anticipated Expenses posted below from FORM 10-Q ended March 31, 2012. IMO There will be another round of financing done in the next 4-6 months. At what price?
As at March 31, 2012, we had cash of $893,983. For the next twelve months, management anticipates that we have sufficient funds to meet our minimum cash requirements to fund our proposed exploration program on the Moonlight Property and to complete Phase One of our exploration program on the New York Canyon Project. However, we will require additional financing in order to implement the proposed test drilling program on the New York Canyon Project and to meet our ongoing expenses due in the late 2012.
PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion and analysis summarizes our plan of operation for the next twelve months, our results of operations for the nine month period ended March 31, 2012 and changes in our financial condition from June 30, 2011. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2011.
Over the next twelve months, our plan of operation is to complete following exploration programs on our mineral properties:
New York Canyon Project
Phase One of our exploration program on the New York Canyon Project involves the re-analysis of the 2006 Longshot Ridge drill pulps and initiating environmental base line studies, which will permit us to conduct advanced exploration, if warranted. We commenced Phase One of our exploration program in July 2011 by delivering the drill pulps from the 2006 Longshot Ridge to Sparks Laboratory in Nevada. In December 2011, we received new assay results and these results were audited by an independent consultant for quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC). In March 2012, we engaged an independent consultant to conduct a review of the results in order to provide us with a more robust estimate of the project and assist us in identifying key targets for a drilling program at the New York Canyon Project.
In late 2012, subject to obtaining financing, we plan to drill test the oxide mineralization found to the north and northeast of the Longshot Ridge deposit. This represents the initial stages of Phase Two of our exploration program on the New York Canyon Project.
Moonlight Property
In spring 2012, we conducted a preliminary assessment of the Moonlight Property, which involved a detailed review of all historical data on the Moonlight Property. Based on the results of this preliminary assessment, we have decided to commence a shallow reverse drill program at the Moonlight Property. The drill program is scheduled for early summer 2012 and will target the copper oxide deposit on the Moonlight Property.
