[Actuate]

J. Rod's employment agreement requires a bonus at the end of each fiscal year. It is quite possible that the shares were merely provided to cover the bonus he was owed. It doesn't state that J. Rod received no cash payments in 2012, like the 2011 annual report does.

Effective January 1, 2012 the Company agreed to an Employment agreement with J. Rod Martin the Company’s CEO. The agreement provides for an annual salary of $150,000 until the Company begins production at the Chloride Copper Mine at which time the rate shall increase to $250,000 per year. The agreement also includes a bonus to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors at the end of each fiscal year with a target of $350,000 adjusted in accordance with performance.
