Between December 27, 2006 and February 8, 2007, we issued an aggregate of 16,662,000 shares of our Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of two year warrants issued in February 2005 and 2006 for aggregate gross proceeds of $4,863,500. The foregoing shares were issued pursuant to exemptions from registration provided by Regulation S and/or Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933. The balance of the warrants issued on February 8, 2005 expired on February 8, 2007.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 7, 2007, Robert Roningen resigned as our Secretary and, on February 9, 2007, John Brownlie, our Vice President of Operations, was appointed Chief Operating Officer and Jeffrey W. Pritchard, our Vice President of Investor Relations, was appointed Secretary. Mr. Brownlie’s appointment as our Chief Operating Officer did not result in any changes to his compensation arrangement under his employment agreement with the Company.

Section 8 - Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On February 5, 2007, Dave Loder, the General Manager of our El Chanate Project, resigned for personal reasons unrelated to his employment with the Company. We have hired, on a temporary basis, an experienced replacement and are actively looking for a permanent replacement. We do not believe, that Mr. Loder’s departure will have a material adverse affect on our business.
