PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the "risk factors" section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. As used throughout this prospectus, the terms “Liberty”, Liberty Silver”, the “Company,” the “Corporation”, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer Liberty Silver Corp.


­ Liberty Silver Corp.


Business Overview


Liberty Silver Corp. is an exploration stage company that engages principally in the acquisition, exploration, and development of  properties containing mineralized material. We have not yet begun development stage activities. We were incorporated on February 20, 2007 under the laws of the state of Nevada under the name Lincoln Mining Corp, and changed our name to Liberty Silver Corp. on February 11, 2010.  Our current business operations are focused on exploring and then developing the Trinity Silver property located in Pershing County, Nevada (the “Trinity Project”).  We acquired our interest in the Trinity Project through an Exploration Earn-In Agreement dated March 29, 2010.  A more detailed discussion of the Trinity Project and of the current status of our business operations is provided under the section “Description of Business”.


We are considered to be an exploration stage company because we have not yet generated any revenues from operations.  Our ability to emerge from the exploration stage into the development stage or the production stage is dependent, among other things, upon obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and to continue to explore and develop the Trinity Project. We do not have any current funding agreements and there cannot be any assurance that we will be able to raise additional funding. These factors, among others, have led our auditors to raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


Principal Place of Business


Our executive offices are located at 181 Bay Street, Suite 2330, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J3T3, and our telephone number is 888-749-4916.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference contain, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “could,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these statements. We caution investors that actual results or business conditions may differ materially from those projected or suggested in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including, but not limited to, those described in, or incorporated by reference into, the Risk Factors section of this prospectus. We cannot assure you that we have identified all the factors that create uncertainties. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the result of any revision of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

RISK FACTORS

THIS INVESTMENT HAS A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. BEFORE YOU INVEST YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW AND THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS, OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION COULD BE HARMED AND THE VALUE OF OUR STOCK COULD GO DOWN. THIS MEANS YOU COULD LOSE ALL OR A PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT.


Risks Related to Our Business

Substantial additional capital will be required for us to continue our exploration activities at the Trinity Project.  If we cannot raise additional capital as needed, our ability to execute our business plan and fund our ongoing operations will be in jeopardy.

We require substantial additional capital to continue our exploration activities, and will need to explore various financing alternatives to meet our projected costs and expenses related to further exploration and development of the Trinity Project. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary on favorable terms, or at all. Additionally, if the actual costs to execute our business plan are significantly higher than expected, we may not have sufficient funds to cover these costs and we may not be able to obtain other sources of financing. The failure to obtain all necessary financing would prevent us from executing our business plan and would impede our ability to sustain operations or become profitable, and we could be forced to cease our operations.


Our property is in the exploration stage. There is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and that funds we expend on exploration will be lost.  If we do not discover any mineralized material in a commercially exploitable quantity, our business could fail.


Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture involving substantial risk.  New mineral exploration companies encounter difficulties, and there is a high rate of failure of such enterprises.  The expenditures we may make in the exploration of the mineral concessions may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of minerals. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates, unusual or unexpected mineral formations, and other geological conditions.  If we find mineral reserves which we decide to extract, of which there is no guarantee, we may face additional problems, expenses, difficulties and complications which make mining the ore unprofitable. If we encounter any or all of these unanticipated problems, we may be unable to successfully put our Trinity Project into production.


Because we may never earn revenues from our operations and may never operate profitably, our business may fail and cause investors to lose their entire investment in our company.


We have yet to generate revenues from operations or positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever generate revenues or operate profitably. We have a limited operating history and are in the exploration stage. Our success is significantly dependent on the uncertain events of the discovery and exploitation of mineral reserves on our properties or selling the rights to exploit those mineral reserves. If our business plan is not successful and we are not able to generate revenues from operations and operate profitably, then our stock may become worthless and investors may lose all of their investment in our company. Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the exploration of our mineral claims in the future, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide no assurance that we will generate any revenues or ever achieve profitability. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will fail and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.




8






Mineral operations are subject to applicable law and government regulation. Even if we discover mineralized material in a commercially exploitable quantity, these laws and regulations could restrict or prohibit the exploitation of that mineralized material. If we cannot exploit any mineralized material that we might discover on our properties, our business may fail.


Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various federal, state, and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the exploration of our mineral properties or for the construction and operation of a mine on our properties at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail.  We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can continue to remain in compliance. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral properties.


Our rights to the Trinity Project are derived through an Exploration Earn-In Agreement with Renaissance Exploration Inc., which is subject to the terms of an underlying Minerals Lease and Sublease between Renaissance and Newmont Mining USA Limited, a Delaware corporation.  The Minerals Lease and Sublease provides Newmont Mining USA Limited with certain rights that, if exercised, would limit our interest in the Trinity Project.   


Our rights to the Trinity Project are derived through an Exploration Earn-In Agreement with Renaissance Exploration Inc. (“Renaissance”).  Renaissance, in turn, derives its rights to the Trinity Project through a Minerals Lease and Sublease dated July 29, 2005 (the “Lease”) with Newmont Mining USA Limited, a Delaware corporation (“Newmont”) which owns or leases the various unpatented mining claims and portions of private land comprising the Trinity Project. The Lease provides Newmont with certain rights that, if exercised, would limit our interest in the Trinity Project.    Specifically, the Lease gives Newmont the right to elect, in certain circumstances, to enter into a joint venture with Renaissance covering the Trinity Project and any other real property interests that Renaissance holds or acquires within the Trinity Project, or the right to elect to receive a royalty on all mineral production from such properties (See “PROPERTIES – Trinity Project Agreements”).  Should Newmont elect to exercise its right to participate in a joint venture with Renaissance, Newmont would own a majority interest in the joint venture and would be appointed as the manager of the joint venture.  In that event, our interest under the Exploration Earn-In Agreement would be reduced to a minority position (we would be entitled to 70% of the remaining interest of Renaissance in the project), and we would no longer have the authority to make management decisions regarding future exploration and development of the property.   In the event Newmont does not elect to exercise its right to participate in a joint venture with respect to the Trinity Project, it would continue to have the right to be paid a royalty of up to 5% of the net smelter returns generated from the properties comprising the Trinity Project.  In such event, Newmont’s right to receive a royalty would reduce the amount of revenue that we could derive from the Trinity Project.


Our ability to enforce our rights with respect to the Trinity Project may be adversely affected by the fact that rights to mineral claims and leases often involve uncertainties, and by the fact that most of the properties comprising the Trinity Project are held by third parties over which we have no direct control.  


Rights to surface and subsurface mining properties often involve inherent risks due to the difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims, as well as the potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyance history characteristic of many mining properties.  These types of inherent risks and ambiguities may adversely affect our rights and claims in the properties comprising the Trinity Project.  Our rights and claims in such properties may also be adversely affected by the fact that we do not have a direct ownership interest in most of the properties comprising the Trinity Project.   Such properties, which consist of a combination of unpatented mining claims, leased properties, and land owned in fee title, are held by third parties over which we have no direct control.   Although we believe we have valid rights and claims in the properties comprising the Trinity Project through contractual agreements, and although we have taken what we believe to be the remaining reasonable steps to verify and protect our rights and claims in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, there is no assurance that the validity of our claims will not be challenged.  Our rights and claims in the properties comprising the Trinity Project could be subject to previously undetected defects such as unregistered prior agreements or transfers, or third parties, over which we have no direct control, could assert claims or take actions which adversely affect our ability to operate and enforce our rights with respect to the Trinity Project.

Our success is dependent on retaining key personnel and on hiring and retaining additional personnel.  If we fail to retain our key personnel, we may have to cease operations.


Our ability to continue to explore and develop our mineral concessions, if warranted, is, in large part, dependent upon our ability to attract and maintain qualified key personnel. There is competition for such personnel, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain them. We may not be able to find qualified geologists and mining engineers on a timely basis or at all to pursue our business plan.  Furthermore, if we are able to find qualified employees, the cost to hire them may be too great because there may be other companies that pay at a higher rate than we are able to pay.  Our progress now and in the future will depend on the efforts of key management figures, such as R. Geoffrey ‘Geoff’ Browne, our Chief Executive Officer, and William Tafuri, the Project Manager for the Trinity Project, and on our ability to hire additional key personnel as needed in the future to continue to explore and develop our mineral concessions and pursue our business plan.  The loss of current key personnel or our inability to hire additional key personnel in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business and could require us to cease operations or to cause our business to fail.


As we undertake exploration of our mineral claims, we will be subject to compliance with government regulation that may increase the anticipated cost of our exploration program.


There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral exploration. We will be subject to the federal regulations (environmental, Bureau of Land Management) and the laws of the State of Nevada as we carry out our exploration program. We may be required to obtain additional work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with these laws. While our planned exploration program budgets for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program.


Mineral exploration and development is subject to extraordinary operating risks. We currently insure against these risks on a limited basis. In the event of a cave-in or similar occurrence, our liability may exceed our resources and insurance coverage, which would have an adverse impact on our company.


Mineral exploration, development and production involve many risks. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks inherent in the exploration for mineralized materials and, if we discover mineralized materials in commercially exploitable quantity, our operations could be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of those mineralized materials, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment.  As of the date hereof, the Company currently maintains commercial general liability insurance with general aggregate coverage of $10,000,000, and umbrella liability insurance with aggregate coverage of $1,000,000 against these operating hazards, in connection with its exploration program.  The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such occurrence that would not otherwise be covered under the current insurance policies would have a material adverse impact on our company.


Silver prices are highly volatile. If a profitable silver market does not exist, we may have to cease operations.

 

Silver prices have been highly volatile, and are affected by numerous international economic and political factors over which we have no control.  Our long-term success is highly dependent upon the price of silver, as the economic feasibility of any ore body discovered on our current property, or on other properties we may acquire in the future, would, in large part, be determined by the prevailing market price of silver. If a profitable market does not exist, we may have to cease operations.


The silver exploration and mining industry is highly competitive.


The silver industry is highly competitive, and we are required to compete with other corporations and business entities, many of which have greater resources than ours. Such corporations and other business entities could outbid us for potential projects or produce minerals at lower costs, which would have a negative effect on our operations.


Risks Relating to the Common Stock


Our common stock is currently approved for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange but we cannot ensure that a trading market for our shares will be sustained.


Our common stock is currently approved for quotation on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol LSL..  On October 12, 2012, the Ontario Securities Commission issued a cease trade order providing that trading in the securities of



10






Liberty Silver Corp. on the TSX (excepting issuances from treasury) shall cease until 11:59 pm EST on October 18, 2012 (the “OSC Order”).  The OSC Order was effective for the same time frame as the Order of Suspension of Trading imposed by the SEC, discussed below.  Trading in the Company’s shares on the TSX in Canada resumed on October 22, 2012.   There is no assurance that new cease trade orders will not be issued in the future or that other events which adversely impact the trading will occur. Accordingly, we cannot ensure that a trading market will be maintained for our shares, and if a market is maintained, we cannot ensure that any significant level of trading activity will be sustained or that, if sustained, that it will constitute a liquid trading market which allows persons who purchase our common stock to promptly liquidate their investment at any time. Persons who purchase our common stock may have difficulty liquidating their investment because of the lack of a market or the difficulty in maintaining a market for such shares.   


Our common stock is not currently listed, traded or quoted on any U.S. stock exchange or the OTC Markets, which could make it difficult for investors to liquidate an investment in our common stock in a timely manner.


Our common stock was removed from trading on the OTCBB in October, 2012, and is not currently listed, traded or quoted on any U.S. stock exchange, the OTC Markets or any other over-the-counter market in the U.S.  From time to time, we believe that our common stock is bought and sold in the U.S. by appointment, which is then reported by the “Grey Market” tier of the OTC Markets. Accordingly, there is currently no established U.S. public trading market for our common stock.  Furthermore, there is currently no bid and ask information or other pre-trade data available for our common stock from the “Grey Market” tier of the OTC Markets. Since grey market securities are not traded or quoted on an exchange or interdealer quotation system, investor’s bids and offers are not collected in a central spot so market transparency is diminished and best execution of orders is difficult.  Although our shares currently trade outside the U.S. on the Toronto Stock Exchange, an active U.S. trading market for our common stock may never develop. As a result, investors may not be able to liquidate their investment in our common stock in a timely manner, thereby increasing the market risk of our stockholders and making it more difficult for investors to obtain accurate quotations regarding our common stock or our market value.

The price of shares of our common stock has been subject to substantial fluctuation in the past and may continue to be volatile in the future.  

The market price of our shares of common stock has been subject to substantial fluctuation in the past, and may continue to be volatile in the future in response to various potential factors, many of which will be beyond the Company’s control.   Factors that could cause such volatility may include, among other things:

 

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly operating results;

 

 

 

 

large purchases or sales of shares of our common stock;

 

 

 

 

additions or departures of key personnel;

 

 

 

 

investor perception of our company s business prospects;

 

 

 

 

conditions or trends in other industry related companies;

 

 

 

 

changes in the market valuations of publicly traded companies in general and other industry-related companies; and

 

 

 

 

world-wide political, economic and financial conditions.

In addition , the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

Potential future sales under Rule 144 may depress the market price for our common stock.


In general, under Rule 144, a person who acquired shares in a private placement transaction and who has satisfied a minimum holding period of between 6 months and one-year following the date of acquisition of such shares and satisfied any other applicable requirements of Rule 144, may thereafter sell such shares publicly.  A significant number of our currently issued and outstanding shares held by existing shareholders, including officers and directors and other principal shareholders are currently eligible for resale pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144.  The possible future resale of our



11






shares by our existing shareholders, pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144, may have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock in the over-the-counter market.

 

Our common stock is currently deemed a “penny stock”, which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000, exclusive of their principal residence, or annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements, which may also limit a shareholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules which require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

We do not intend to pay dividends and there will thus be fewer ways in which you are able to make a gain on your investment.

We have never paid dividends and do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we may require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the declaration of dividends. Because we do not intend to pay dividends, any gain on your investment will need to result from an appreciation in the price of our common stock. There will therefore be fewer ways in which you are able to make a gain on your investment.

We face risks related to compliance with corporate governance laws and financial reporting standards.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as related new rules and regulations implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, require changes in the corporate governance practices and financial reporting standards for public companies. These laws, rules and regulations, including compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 relating to internal control over financial reporting, referred to as Section 404, materially increased our legal and financial compliance costs and made some activities more time-consuming and more burdensome.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock hereunder.  We will receive the exercise price of the warrants to the extent they are not exercised on a net or cashless exercise basis. Any proceeds received from exercise of warrants will be used for payment of general corporate and operating expenses.

DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTIONS

The following are the transactions pursuant to which the Company issued securities which are the subject of this registration statement:

Share Issuance


On October 15, 2012, the Company entered into and closed a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Primus Resources, L.C. and James A. Freeman (collectively “Seller”) to acquire unpatented mining claims, Nevada BLM Serial No. 799907, 799908, 799909, 799910, and 799911 covering approximately 100 acres of property located adjacent to the former Trinity Silver mine on the Company’s Trinity Project (the “Hi Ho Properties”).  The Hi Ho Properties were previously the only acreage not controlled by the Company or its joint venture partner Renaissance Exploration Inc. in the Trinity Project. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company provided cash consideration of US$250,000 and issued 2,583,333 restricted shares of common stock of the Company to Seller. In addition the Seller was granted a 2% net smelter royalty on future production from the Hi Ho Properties pursuant to the terms of a Deed With Reservation of Royalty Hi Ho Silver Claims.  In conjunction with the entry into the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Seller, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, within thirty (30) days of the closing, which registers the common stock issued to the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.     Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement the Company will pay Seller additional consideration as follows:


·

if this registration statement is declared effective by the United States Securities Exchange Commission by March 1, 2013, Liberty Silver will issue an additional 277,778 Liberty Silver common shares to Primus, thereby increasing the total aggregate number of shares issued to 2,861,111 shares; or


·

if this registration statement is not declared effective by the United States Securities Exchange Commission by March 1, 2013, Liberty Silver will pay Primus US$200,000. As well, if the five-day weighted average trading price of Liberty Silver’s common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange as of March 1, 2013 (the “Market Price”) exceeds US$0.72 per share, Liberty Silver will issue an additional number of Liberty Silver common shares to Primus equal to (a) 277,778 less (b) US$200,000 divided by the Market Price.


Warrant Issuances


To date the Company has issued a total of 11,360,834 warrants, of which, a total of 9,627,500 warrants remain outstanding.  This Registration Statement includes 9,627,500 shares of common stock underlying all of the outstanding warrants, and 400,000 shares of common stock that were issued as a result of the exercise of previously outstanding warrants by certain Selling Stockholders.   The various warrant issuance transactions covered by this Registration Statement are summarized in the Section titled “Description of Securities to Be Registered”.



DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE


The Selling Stockholders will determine the offering price.



SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

This prospectus relates to the registration of shares of our outstanding common stock, plus shares issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. The selling stockholders are not broker-dealers or affiliates of a broker-dealer. Because the shares were issued pursuant to exemptions from registration including the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and the exemption



13






provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act, and because such shares have not previously been registered with the SEC, the selling shareholders currently hold “restricted stock.”

The following table sets forth, to the best of our knowledge, information concerning the selling stockholders, the number of shares currently held by the selling stockholders, the number of shares to be offered and sold by the selling stockholders and the amount and percentage of common stock that will be owned by the selling stockholders following the offering (assuming the sale of all shares of common stock being offered) by the selling stockholders:

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION


Once this registration statement is effective, each selling shareholder of the common stock of the Company and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the Grey Market, or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

·

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

·

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

·

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

·

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

·

privately negotiated transactions;

·

settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

·

broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

·

a combination of any such methods of sale;

·

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or

·

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.  

In connection with the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of the Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.  The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups, which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).



16






The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.  

Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.  In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.  Each Selling Stockholder has advised us that they have not entered into any written or oral agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriter or broker-dealer regarding the sale of the resale shares.  There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.

With respect to the 2,583,333 shares issued in conjunction with the acquisition of the Hi Ho Properties, we agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(e) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to the prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.  The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution.  In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person.  We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.  


The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.

On April 1, 2011, the Company borrowed $150,000 from related parties.  In conjunction with each $25,000 note, the Company issued warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.55 per share for a three-year term, commencing on the date of the note.  There were a total of 300,000 warrants issued to related parties in connection with this transaction.  The shares underlying all warrants associated with this transaction are being registered pursuant to this registration statement.


On July 27, 2011, the Company issued 200,000 units (“Units”) for cash at CDN $0.55 (US $0.58) per Unit.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Corporation


Liberty Silver Corp. was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada, U.S.A on February 20, 2007 under the name Lincoln Mining Corp. Pursuant to a Certificate of Amendment dated February 11, 2010, the Company changed its name to Liberty Silver Corp.  The Company’s registered office is located at 1802 N. Carson Street, Suite 212, Carson City Nevada 89701, and its head office is located at 181 Bay Street, Suite 2330, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J3T3, and our telephone number is 888-749-4916.  As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has no subsidiaries.


Current Operations


Overview


We were incorporated for the purpose of engaging in mineral exploration activities, and on May 24, 2007, purchased the Zone Lode mining claim located in Elko County, Nevada, for a purchase price of $10,000.  Our objective was to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Zone Lode claim to assess whether it contained economic reserves of copper, gold, silver, molybdenum or zinc.  We were not able to determine whether this property contained reserves that were economically recoverable and have ceased our attempts at developing this property.  Our current business operations are focused on exploring and developing the Trinity Silver property located in Pershing County, Nevada (the “Trinity Project”).


The Company acquired its interest in the Trinity Project through an Exploration Earn-In Agreement.  On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into the Earn-In Agreement relating to the Trinity Project with AuEx, Inc., a Nevada company beneficially owned by another Nevada company AuEx Ventures, Inc. AuEx, Inc. held an exclusive interest in the Trinity Project by way of a Minerals Lease and Sublease with Newmont Mining USA Limited, a Delaware corporation who owns or leases the various unpatented mining claims and portions of private land comprising the Trinity Project. As part of a restructuring transaction by AuEx Ventures, Inc., another Nevada company Renaissance Exploration Inc. (“Renaissance”) was spun out, and on July 1, 2010 AuEx, Inc. assigned all of its interest in the Trinity Project and the Earn-In Agreement to Renaissance, who currently holds a 100% leasehold interest in the Trinity Project.  The Minerals Lease and Sublease grants to Newmont, a right of first offer on any transfer of AuEx, Inc.’s interests in the Trinity Project to any non-affiliate of AuEx, Inc., and also gives Newmont a right to either enter into a joint venture agreement covering the Trinity Project and any other real property interests that AuEx, Inc. holds or acquires within the Trinity Project, or receive a royalty on all mineral production from such properties.  Currently the rights to the Trinity Project are held 100% by Renaissance, pursuant to an assignment of such rights from AuEx, Inc. The Company entered into the Earn-In Agreement providing the Company with a right to earn a 70% undivided interest in rights of Renaissance in the Trinity Project (the “70% Interest”).


The Trinity Project consists of a total of approximately 10,600 acres, including 5,676 acres of fee land and 253 unpatented mining claims.  Under the Earn-In Agreement, the Company may earn-in the 70% Interest in the Trinity Project during a 6-year period in consideration of (1) a signing payment of $25,000, which has been made, (2) an expenditure of a cumulative total of $5,000,000 in exploration and development expenses on the Trinity Project by March 29, 2016, including a minimum of $500,000 which must be expended within one year from the effective date of the Agreement, and (3) completion of a



19






bankable feasibility study on the Trinity Project on or before the 7 th anniversary date of the Agreement.   Item (1) has been completed by the Company, and the Company is current with item (2).


Our business operations are currently focused on efforts to develop the Trinity Project. The Company foresees future operations at the Trinity Project consisting of (i) an effort to expand the known mineralized material through drilling, (ii) permitting for operation, if deemed economically viable, (iii) metallurgical studies aimed at enhancing the recovery of the silver and by-product lead and zinc, and (iv) engineering design related to potential construction of a new mine. Exploration of the property will be conducted simultaneously with the mine development in order to locate additional mineralized materials.


Products


The Company’s anticipated product will be precious and base metal-bearing concentrates and/or precious metal bullion produced from ores from mineral deposits which it hopes to discover and exploit through exploration and acquisition.   The Company anticipates such products will be silver, lead and zinc.


Trinity Project Location


The Trinity Project is located along the west flank of the Trinity Range in Pershing County, Nevada, about 25 miles by road northwest of Lovelock, NV, the county seat. The Trinity Project consists of approximately 10,600 acres, which includes 253 unpatented lode mining claims and portions of nine sections of private land. The specific location of the Trinity Project is discussed in more detail the section entitled “Properties” herein.


Infrastructure


The Trinity Project is situated in western Nevada, a locale which is host to many metal mines, mining equipment companies, drilling companies, mining and metallurgical consulting expertise, and experienced mining personnel.  Its location is accessible by all-weather road through an area of very sparse population.  There is no infrastructure on the property. All buildings have been removed, all wells have been properly abandoned, and there is no equipment on site. The mine site has been totally reclaimed to the satisfaction of the State of Nevada. The need for power and water would be defined by a feasibility study and mine plan both of which are premature at this point in time.


Government Regulation and Approval


The following permits will be necessary to put the Trinity Project into production.


 

Permit/notification

Agency

 

 

 

 

- Mine registry

Nevada Division of Minerals

 

- Mine Opening notification

State Inspector of Mines

 

- Solid Waste Landfill

Nevada Bureau of Waste Management

 

- Hazardous Waste Management Permit

All of the Company's drilling operations to date have been on private land and, as a result, have not been subject to U.S. Bureau of Land Management jurisdiction.  On private land in Nevada, the Company's activities are regulated by The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection and the Nevada Bureau of Mining Regulation and Reclamation (“NBMRR”) and no permit is needed as long as the disturbance created is less than five acres. Our total disturbance to date has been less than four acres, much of which has already been reclaimed, and as a result, we have not yet applied for a NBMRR permit.  However, as a matter of courtesy, we have provided written correspondence to NBMRR to advise them of our activities.

Environmental Regulations


Our current exploration activities and any future mining operations (of which we currently have none planned), are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment, waste disposal, worker safety, mine construction, and protection of endangered and protected species. We have made, and expect to make in the future, significant expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.  Future changes in applicable laws, regulations and permits or changes in their enforcement or regulatory interpretation could have an adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations.  In the event that we make a mineral discovery and decide to proceed to production, the costs and delays associated with compliance with these laws and regulations could stop us from proceeding with a project or the operation or further improvement of a mine or increase the costs of improvement or production.


We anticipate that the following environmental permits will be necessary for our anticipated operations:


§

Permit for Reclamation

§

Water Pollution Control Permit  

§

Air Quality Operating Permit

§

Industrial Artificial pond permit

§

Water Rights


The Company anticipates that, subject to the availability of funds or financing, it will begin soliciting bids for the programs necessary to obtain these permits during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.  The cost, timing, and work schedules are not yet available.


Competition


We compete with other mining and exploration companies in connection with the acquisition of mining claims and leases on silver and other precious metals prospects and in connection with the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.  Many of these companies are much larger than we are, have greater financial resources and have been in the mining business much longer than we have.  As such, these competitors may be in a better position through size, finances and experience to acquire suitable exploration properties.  We may not be able to compete against these companies in acquiring new properties and/or qualified people to work on our current Trinity Project, or any other properties we may acquire in the future.


Given the size of the world market for precious metals such as silver and gold relative to the number of individual producers and consumers, we believe that no single company has sufficient market influence to significantly affect the price or supply of precious metals such as silver and gold in the world market.


Employees


The Company currently has six full-time employees, R. Geoffrey Browne, the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Manish Z. Kshatriya, the Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, William Tafuri, the Project Manager for the Trinity Project, H. Richard Klatt, the Vice President of Exploration, and two additional employees.

Each claim filed with the BLM has an associated maintenance fee of $140 per year for each assessment year (which runs from September 1 through August 31). This fee must be paid by midnight on August 31 of each year to maintain the claim's validity for the succeeding assessment year.  The fees for the claims comprising the Trinity Project are paid by Renaissance in accordance with the Lease they hold with Newmont. The Company reimburses Renaissance for this expenditure. All of the fees have been paid to the BLM for the 2012-2013 assessment year and all filings are current. We have 253 claims which, based upon current maintenance fees, costs $35,420 per assessment year to maintain.


To protect and verify our claims and interests in the Trinity Project, we have completed examinations of legal title to the property making up the Trinity Project which we have  deemed to be satisfactory.  In addition, a Memorandum of Exploration Earn-In Agreement, effective March 29, 2010, has been recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Pershing County, Nevada, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.17.

Trinity Project Agreements


The Company acquired its interest in the Trinity Project through an Exploration Earn-In Agreement, discussed below.  On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into the Earn-In Agreement relating to the Trinity Project with AuEx, Inc., a Nevada company beneficially owned by another Nevada company AuEx Ventures, Inc. AuEx, Inc. held an exclusive interest in the Trinity Project by way of a Minerals Lease and Sublease with Newmont Mining USA Limited, a Delaware corporation who owns or leases the various unpatented mining claims and portions of private land comprising the Trinity Project; the Minerals Lease and Sublease is discussed below. As part of a restructuring transaction by AuEx Ventures, Inc., another Nevada company Renaissance Exploration Inc. (“Renaissance”) was spun out, and on July 1, 2010, pursuant to a letter agreement by and between AuEx, Inc., Renaissance Exploration, Inc., and Liberty Silver Corp., AuEx, Inc. assigned all of its rights  in the Exploration Earn-In Agreement to Renaissance, which currently holds a 100% leasehold interest in the Trinity Project pursuant to the Minerals Lease and Sublease.  Pursuant to the letter agreement, all parties consented to the assignment, and as a result, the Company’s rights in the Trinity Project under the Earn-In Agreement are enforceable against Renaissance Exploration, Inc., and are derived from and based upon the rights of Renaissance under the Minerals Lease and Sublease; a copy of the Letter Agreement effective July 1, 2010 is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.18.  Additionally, a Memorandum of Exploration Earn-In effective March 29, 2010, has been recorded in the Office of the Recorder of Pershing County, Nevada, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.17.


Lease and Sublease Agreement


Renaissance’s rights in the Trinity Project are derived through a Minerals Lease and Sublease dated July 29, 2005 (the “Lease”) by and between Newmont Mining USA Limited, a Delaware corporation (“Newmont”) and AuEx, Inc., a Nevada corporation.  


Consideration


The Lease was granted to Renaissance for the following consideration:


a)

Renaissance agreed to pay Newmont a claim fee reimbursement of $10,955 concurrently with the execution of the Lease  (this amount was paid);

b)

Renaissance is required to expend a total of $2,000,000 in ascertaining the existence, location, quantity, quality or commercial value of a deposit of minerals within the Trinity Project on or before the seventh anniversary of the Lease;

c)

Prior to the commencement of any commercial production, Renaissance shall supply Newmont with a feasibility study with respect to the Trinity Project.


To the best of our knowledge, Renaissance has complied with and is current in all of its requirements under the Lease.


Joint Venture / Royalty


The Lease gives Newmont a right to either enter into a joint venture with Renaissance covering the Trinity Project and any other real property interests that Renaissance holds or acquires within the Trinity Project, or receive a royalty on all mineral production from such properties.  


Joint Venture:   The Lease contemplates the following schedule with respect to Newmont’s rights to enter into a joint venture with Renaissance:


a)

 Before Renaissance spends $5 million and provides a feasibility study, Newmont can elect at any time to enter into a joint venture in which event Newmont would be required to pay all future joint venture expenses up to 250% of the expenditures made by Renaissance as of the date of Newmont’s election to enter into the joint venture.

b)

Upon Renaissance spending $5 million, but before the feasibility study, Renaissance shall deliver written notice to Newmont containing a summary of the expenditures made by Renaissance on the Trinity Project.  Newmont may thereafter elect to enter into a joint venture by notifying Renaissance in writing of such election within 60 days of Newmont’s receipt of Renaissance’s initial notice.  Under the joint venture, Newmont would be required to pay all future joint venture expenses up to 250% of the expenditures made by Renaissance as of the date of Newmont’s election to enter into the joint venture.

c)

After Renaissance spending $5 million, but before the feasibility study, at any time after the expiration of the 60 day period identified in section b above, Newmont can elect to enter into a joint venture in which event



25






Newmont would be required to pay Renaissance 50% of the expenditures made in the Trinity Project up to the date of Newmont’s election to participate in a joint venture, and all future joint venture expenses up to 200% of such expenditures.

d)

At any time within 60 days after Renaissance’s delivery of feasibility study, Newmont can elect to enter into a joint venture at which time Newmont would be required to pay Renaissance 200% of expenditures made by Renaissance as of the date of Newmont’s election to enter into the joint venture.  Additionally, Renaissance can elect to have Newmont finance Renaissance’s share of the joint venture expenses until the Trinity Project is put into commercial production.  Following the commencement of commercial production, Newmont shall be entitled to recover such paid expenses with interest at the London Interbank Offering Rate.  If Newmont fails to elect to participate in the Joint Venture within 60 days following the delivery of the feasibility study, Newmont’s right to participate in a joint venture shall terminate.


Should Newmont elect to participate in a joint venture with Renaissance, pursuant to the Lease, Newmont will serve as the manager of the joint venture and own 51% of the joint venture with an option to acquire an additional 14% for additional payments to Renaissance (for a total participating interest of 65%).  Pursuant to the Earn-In Agreement, we would be entitled to 70% of Renaissance’s ownership interest in the Trinity Project.  Accordingly, if Newmont exercised all of its joint venture options under the Lease, we would own a 24.5% interest in the Trinity Project, representing 70% of the 35% interest held by Renaissance.  


Royalty:   In the event Newmont does not elect to participate in a joint venture, then Newmont shall have the right to receive a royalty on all mineral production from the Trinity Project.  Pursuant to the Lease, if Newmont elects to not participate in the joint venture, then Renaissance shall pay to Newmont $1 million and the Lease shall terminate and Newmont shall transfer title to all property comprising the Trinity Project to Renaissance, and thereafter receive a royalty payment of up to 5% of the net smelter returns generated from the properties comprising the Trinity Project.

 

Buyout Option


The Lease provides Renaissance with a buyout option pursuant to which Renaissance holds the right to purchase Newmont’s rights in the Trinity Project through the payment of $1 million to Newmont.  In the event Renaissance elects the buyout option, Newmont would transfer title to the Trinity Project to Renaissance through quit claim deed while retaining certain rights in the Trinity Project; such rights may include some form of joint venture or a royalty interest.


Ownership Interest – Earn-In Agreement


As noted above, the rights to the Trinity Project are held 100% by Renaissance, pursuant to an assignment of such rights from AuEx, Inc. The Company entered into the Earn-In Agreement providing the Company with a right to earn a 70% undivided interest in rights of Renaissance in the Trinity Project (the “70% Interest”), as set out below. The following is intended to be a summary of the material terms of the Earn-In Agreement, and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety, by the full text of the Earn-In Agreement


Consideration


The exclusive right to acquire the 70% Interest in the Trinity Project was granted to the Company for the following consideration:


a)

The Company agreed to pay $25,000 upon execution of the Earn-In Agreement (this amount was paid);

b)

In order to obtain the 70% Interest in the Trinity Project, the Company is required to (i) produce a bankable feasibility study by March 29, 2017 and (ii) to expend a minimum of $5,000,000 in exploration on the Trinity Project as follows: $500,000 in the first year; $1,000,000 in the second year; $1,000,000 in the third year; $1,000,000 in the fourth year; $1,000,000 in the fifth year; and $500,000 in the sixth year.


Any excess expenditure in any year shall be carried forward and applied to the subsequent year’s expenditure requirement, and the Company may accelerate the expenditures at its discretion. If the Company elects not to meet the minimum expenditure obligation during any year but wishes to maintain the Earn-In Agreement in full force and effect, or if it is subsequently determined that the minimum amount was not expended in any given year, the Company shall pay the amount of any deficiency to Renaissance.


In the event the Company does not meet its minimum expenditure obligation in any year, it is obligated under the terms of the Earn-In Agreement to pay the amount of any deficiency to Renaissance Exploration, Inc.  During each of the first two



26






years, the Company has exceeded its minimum expenditure obligation and not been obligated to pay any amounts to Renaissance. The Company had an excess of approximately $133,000 in expenditures over the minimum requirement in the first year, and an excess of approximately $162,000 in expenditures over the minimum requirement in the second year. The Company currently anticipates that it will satisfy its entire $5,000,000 expenditure commitment by the end of the third year and as a result, believes it will not be obligated to pay any deficiency amounts to Renaissance for the third year or any future years.   


Work Program


The Company shall be the operator and shall have full control over the content of work programs and annual expenditure amounts during the earn-in period, including having the authority to apply for all necessary permits, licenses and other approvals from the U.S., the State of Nevada or any other governmental or other entity having regulatory authority over any part of the Trinity Project.


Joint Venture


Upon the Company having acquired the 70% Interest in the Trinity Project by satisfying the minimum expenditure amounts and producing a bankable feasibility study, the Company and Renaissance shall enter into a formal joint venture agreement, and the Company will be the operator of the joint venture.


At such time as the Company earns the 70% Interest in the Trinity Project, the parties will thereafter participate in expenditures on the Trinity Project in accordance with their respective interests therein, or have their interest diluted in accordance with a straight-line dilution formula, as set forth in the joint venture agreement.


If through dilution the interest of a party is reduced to less than 10%, then that party’s participating interest shall automatically be converted to a 3% net smelter returns royalty interest. Should third party claims be acquired with royalties within the area of interest, the 3% royalty described above would be reduced by the amount of such royalty but not below 1%. This reduction does not apply to the royalty described under the heading “Royalty upon Termination of Interest” below.


Royalty upon Termination of Interest


If the Company elects to terminate its right to earn an interest in the Trinity Project prior to completing a bankable feasibility study by March 29, 2017, but has expended at least $3,000,000, the Company shall be entitled to a 4% net smelter returns royalty capped at twice its expenditure on the Trinity Project.


Termination


The Company may in its sole discretion terminate the Earn-In Agreement at any time by giving not less than 30 days prior written notice to that effect to Renaissance. Upon expiry of the 30-day notice period, the Earn-In Agreement will be of no further force and effect. Upon such termination, the Company shall have no further obligation to incur expenses on or for the benefit of the Trinity Project and shall have no further obligations or liabilities to Renaissance under the Earn-In Agreement or with respect to the Trinity Project (including without limitation liability for lost profits or consequential damages as a result of an election by the Company to terminate the agreement), other than (a) as set forth below, and (b) to reclaim (in accordance with applicable law) any disturbances of the Trinity Project made by the Company.  


At any time the Company may, at its option, terminate its interest in some but less than all of the claims  comprising the Trinity Project by written notice to Renaissance, provided that if such notice (or notice of termination of the Earn-In Agreement in its entirety) is received by Renaissance after June 30 th of any year, the Company shall remain obligated to pay the claim maintenance fees (and make all filings and recordings required in connection therewith) for those claims to which such termination applies for the upcoming assessment year. To the extent the Company terminates its interest in some but less than all of the claims, the Earn-In Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the remaining claims.


In the event the Company is in default in the observance or performance of any of the Company’s covenants, agreements or obligations under the Earn-In Agreement, Renaissance may give written notice of such alleged default specifying the details of same. The Company shall have 30 days following receipt of said notice within which to remedy any such default described therein, or to diligently commence action in good faith to remedy such default. If the Company does not cure or diligently commence to cure such default by the end of the applicable 30-day period, then Renaissance shall have the right to terminate the Earn-In Agreement by providing 30 days advance written notice to the Company.




27






Confidentiality


All data and information coming into possession of Renaissance or the Company by virtue of the Earn-In Agreement with respect to the business or operations of the other party, or the Trinity Project generally, shall be kept confidential and shall not be disclosed to any person not a party thereto without the prior written consent of the other party, except: (a) as required by law, rule, regulation or policy of any stock exchange or securities commission having jurisdiction over a party; (b) as may be required by a party in the prosecution or defense of a lawsuit or other legal or administrative proceedings; (c) as required by a financial institution in connection with a request for financing relating to development or mining activities; or (d) as may be required in connection with a proposed conveyance to a third party of an interest in the Trinity Project or the Earn-In Agreement, provided such third party agrees in writing in a manner enforceable by the other party to abide by all of the applicable confidentiality provisions of the Earn-In Agreement with respect to such data and information.


To the extent either party intends to disclose data or information via press release or other similar format as may be required, the disclosing party shall provide the other party with not less than five business days notice of the text of the proposed disclosure, and the other party shall have the right to comment on the same.

Mining history

     

The following disclosure regarding the mining history of the Trinity Project has been derived from information contained in the Trinity Project Technical Report.  




28






The Trinity Project lies in the Trinity mining district, which had limited production of silver, lead, zinc, and gold from 1864 through 1942, primarily from the east side of the Trinity Range. In the vicinity of the Trinity project, which is located on the west side of the range, there was historic prospecting with unrecorded but presumed minor silver production.


Minor exploration activity took place in the vicinity of the Trinity project in the 1950s, and in the 1960s Phelps Dodge Corporation completed trenching, IP surveying, and limited drilling in the area.


U. S. Borax and Chemical Corp. (“Borax”) became interested in what is now the Trinity project in 1982 on the basis of reconnaissance geochemical sampling that indicated the presence of anomalous lead and silver in the Willow Canyon area. By 1984, Borax had acquired a property position and had entered into a joint venture with Southern Pacific Land Company (later Santa Fe Pacific Mining, Inc. (“SFPM”) and still later Newmont Mining Corp. (“Newmont”)), in which Borax was the operator. From 1982 to 1986, Borax and its joint-venture partner explored the property and developed the Trinity mine. Borax operated the open pit heap-leaching mine, through a mining contractor, on behalf of the joint venture from September 3, 1987 to August 29, 1988, with leaching continuing into 1989. During this period, the mine produced about five and a half million ounces of silver from about 1.1 million tons of oxidized ore grading approx. six and a half  ounces of silver per ton. Borax drilled and conducted extensive metallurgical testing on the sulfide mineralization, but metal prices at the time were too low to support mining of this material.


In 1984-1985, 1987-1989, and 1990, SFPM conducted exploration and drilling on their property in the vicinity of the joint-venture lands. In 1991, SFPM acquired sole interest in the joint-venture lands, including Borax’s claims, and conducted further exploration through 1992. SFPM’s 1990-1992 exploration work concentrated on down-dip and lateral extensions of mineralization underlying the oxide pit and the sulfide mineralization, as well as extensions of mineralization outside the immediate mine area.


There was no exploration on the Trinity property from 1993 to 2005. In August 2005, Renaissance leased the property from Newmont, who had acquired SFPM’s Nevada holdings. Under an earn-in agreement with Piedmont Mining Company, Renaissance explored the property from September 2005 through July 2009, including limited drilling in 2006 and 2007 that encountered high-grade silver values below and adjacent to the open pit.


Liberty Silver entered into an earn-in agreement with Renaissance in March, 2010. To date, Liberty Silver has conducted extensive data compilation and has completed geophysical surveys consisting of a magnetotelluric survey, a gravity survey, and an induced polarization survey over portions the project. The company has also drilled approximately 20,000 ft of reverse circulation rotary drilling consisting of 20 holes 18 of which were drilled in the vicinity of the Trinity mine. The database of technical data for the property, developed since 1982, includes the results of soil and rock surveys, geophysical surveys, geologic mapping, lithology logging and multi-element analyses for about 400 drill holes, and metallurgical work, as well as data derived from the previous production of heap-leach silver.  The Magnetotelluric Survey was initiated in June of 2010 and completed in August of 2010. The Gravity survey was initiated in February of 2012 completed in March of 2012. The Induced Polarization Survey was initiated in April of 2012 completed in May of 2012. The drill program was started in January of 2012 and completed in April of 2012 .


Work Completed by Company & Plan of Operation


As of the date of this Registration Statement, the Company has completed the following items: (a) a magnetotelluric geophysical survey has been completed; (b) the drill hole database has been digitized; (c) a mineralized material estimate for the original deposit identified in the Earn-In Agreement; (d) environmental and permitting work has begun, and all of the past geologic data has been compiled.  


Past exploration activities consisted of a magnetotelluric survey that was completed in August of 2010, a gravity survey that was completed in March of 2012, an induced polarization survey that was completed in May of 2012 and a drill program that was started in January of 2012 and completed in April of 2012, consisting of 20 reverse circulation holes comprising 22,565 ft of drill hole. The Magnetotelluric Survey was initiated in June of 2010 and completed in August of 2010. The Gravity survey was initiated in February of 2012 completed in March of 2012. The Induced Polarization Survey was initiated in April of 2012 completed in May of 2012. The drill program was started in January of 2012 and completed in April of 2012.


We estimate that during our fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, we incurred approximately $554,145 in exploration expenses, and that during our fiscal year ending June 30, 2012, we incurred approximately $1,667,497 in exploration expenses.   These amounts include both direct exploration costs as well as various indirect costs related to exploration, which under the terms of the Earn-In Agreement, are included in the calculations for purposes of determining whether we have met our minimum annual expenditure commitment.   



29







It is anticipated that additional exploration work will be needed during 2013, although specific plans for this additional work have not yet been finalized.  It is currently anticipated that the additional exploration work to be completed will include additional drilling to upgrade our level of confidence in the mineralization and to expand the mineralized area, as well as drilling to collect metallurgical samples. The estimated budget for this additional drilling is approximately $1,500,000.   Metallurgical testing, which is budgeted to cost approximately $300,000, is expected to be undertaken for the purpose of defining the estimated silver recovery of the mineralized rock. Engineering design work, budgeted at approximately $500,000, is expected to be undertaken for the purpose of studying the feasibility of developing a mine, and as soon as design work is completed, permitting will need to start.   The budget for permitting work is expected to be approximately $100,000.  No further geophysical work is currently planned.


Geology and Mineralization of Trinity Project


The following disclosure regarding the Geology and Mineralization of the Trinity Project has been derived information contained in the Trinity Project Technical Report.  


The Trinity Project lies on the western flank of the Trinity Range, one of the generally north-trending ranges formed during Tertiary extension of the Basin and Range Province.


Within the Trinity Range, the basement rocks are comprised of the Middle Triassic to Early Jurassic near-shore deltaic deposits of the Auld Lang Syne Group, which are represented by phyllite, argillite, quartzite, and dirty limestone at the Trinity project. The best-represented pre-Cenozoic deformation in this portion of the Trinity Range is the Jurassic and Cretaceous Nevadan Orogeny, which resulted in low-grade regional metamorphism, variably directed folding, and thrust faulting. A Cretaceous intrusive episode culminated the Nevadan Orogeny and is exemplified by a Cretaceous granodiorite stock just northeast of the Trinity project.


Tertiary volcanic and sedimentary rocks and Quaternary sediments are abundant in the Trinity project area. There is a thin Tertiary rhyolite sequence along the central north-south axis of the property that includes the mineralized material area. These volcanic rocks overlie the Mesozoic phyllite and argillite, exposed to the east, but are separated by an argillite breccia that is closely associated with faulting. The rhyolite includes interbedded rhyolitic flows, welded tuffs, air-fall tuffs, epiclastic tuffs, and lacustrine deposits. Several rhyolite domes, dikes, and sills have also been identified on the property, some of which may be related to mineralization. Early Tertiary north- to northwest-trending faults are present in the Trinity project area, as are younger north- to northeast-trending normal faults. Late Tertiary and/or Quaternary bench and channel gravel deposits and Quaternary alluvium and outwash unconformably overly the rhyolites and cover the western part of the property.


Rhyolite porphyry, aphanitic rhyolite, and volcaniclastic rocks are the principal host rocks for mineralization in the Trinity mine area. Silicification and quartz-adularia-sericite alteration are associated with the mineralization. Tertiary rhyolitic tuffs and flows were extensively altered and form a halo extending 1.6 miles beyond the main mineralized area. This alteration affected the Auld Lang Syne Group only locally along faults and breccia zones.


Mineralization at the Trinity project is controlled by a northeast-trending zone of normal faults. Silver, lead, and zinc mineralization occurs in fractures and bedding planes in Tertiary rhyolite in the hanging-wall block of the fault zone. Although mineralization continues downward into the underlying Triassic rocks, it is more tightly constrained to fractures that host higher-grade vein mineralization. The original Trinity silver deposit can generally be divided into two parts: a sulfide zone below the current pit and to the northeast, and an overlying oxide zone. Borax s mining in the late 1980s focused on a portion of the oxide zone.


Mineralization occurs as oxidized and unoxidized sulfides in veinlets, as fracture-controlled mineralization, and as disseminations within the host rocks, including breccia matrix. Sulfide mineralization consists mainly of pyrite, sphalerite, galena, marcasite, and minor arsenopyrite with various silver minerals, including tetrahedrite-freibergite, pyrargyrite, minor argentite, and rare native silver, with traces of gold, pyrrhotite, stannite, and chalcopyrite. Low-grade lead and zinc have the potential to add value as byproducts.

Overview


We were incorporated for the purpose of engaging in mineral exploration activities.  On March 29, 2010, we entered into an Exploration Earn-In Agreement relating to the Trinity Project located in Pershing County, Nevada and now intend to engage in efforts to develop the Trinity Project.  Our plan of operation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 is to conduct additional mineral exploration activities at the Trinity Silver property. Operations at the Trinity Project will consist of (i) an effort to expand the known mineralized material through drilling, (ii) permitting for operation, if deemed economically viable, (iii) metallurgical studies aimed at enhancing the recovery of the silver and by-product lead and zinc, (iv) engineering design related to potential construction of a new mine, and (v) complete feasibility studies relating to possible re-opening the historic mine. Exploration of the property will be conducted simultaneously with the mine development in order to locate additional mineralized materials.


Results of Operations


The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operation and financial condition for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.  Unless otherwise stated, all figures herein are expressed in U.S. dollars.


Comparison of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011


Revenue

          

During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, the Company generated no revenue.


Expenses


During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, the Company reported total operating expenses of $5,681,977 as compared to $1,463,758 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $4,218,219 or approximately 288%.   The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to increases in financing cost associated with valuation of warrants, exploration expense, operation and administration expense and legal and accounting expense.  The increases in these expenses were partially offset by a decrease of $166,234 in consulting expense.  


During the 2012 fiscal year, the Company completed equity financings in which 9,727,500 warrants were issued, which resulted in an increase of $1,786,160 in the amortized financing costs associated with the issuance of warrants in 2012, compared to 300,000 warrants issued during the 2011 fiscal year, which resulted in a full charge of $40,000 for financing costs associated with the issuance of warrants.


Exploration expense increased by $1,146,650 during the 2012 fiscal year compared to the 2011 fiscal year.  As a result of completing equity financings in excess of $5,000,000 during fiscal 2012, the Company had the financial resources to execute a more extensive exploration program in fiscal 2012, as compared to fiscal 2011, when the financial resources were limited, resulting in less resources being allocated to exploration.


Operation and administration expense increased by $1,375,841 during fiscal 2012 compared to the 2011 fiscal year.  The primary reasons for the net increase in operation and administration expense were as follows.  During fiscal 2012, the Company had its shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “LSL”, and there were extensive costs associated with that process; the Company established it’s corporate head office in Toronto, Canada; the management team and support staff were expanded to enable the execution of the Company’s business plan; and the cost associated with the issuance of stock options increased in fiscal 2012, compared to fiscal 2011.


Legal and accounting expense increased by $75,802 during the 2012 fiscal year, as compared to the 2011 fiscal year.  During fiscal 2012, the increase in corporate activity, which included the listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange, equity financings, due diligence activities, etc., resulted in the increase in professional fees.




34






The increase in the foregoing expenses was partially offset by the decrease in consulting expense, which was due to certain consultants being employed by the Company during fiscal 2012 and ceasing to be consultants.


Net Loss and Comprehensive Loss


The Company had a net loss and comprehensive loss of $5,689,256 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, as compared to a net loss and comprehensive loss of $1,464,253 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, a change of $4,225,003 or approximately 289%.  The change in net loss and comprehensive loss was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses, which was minimally increased by the loss from foreign exchange during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.


Comparison of the fiscal periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011


Revenue

          

During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company generated no revenue.


Expenses


During the three month period ended September 30, 2012, the Company reported total operating expenses of $1,639,870 compared to $699,572 during the three month period ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $940,298, or approximately 134%.   The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to increases in financing cost associated with valuation of warrants, operation and administration expense, and exploration expense.  The increase in these expenses was partially offset by a decrease in consulting expense and legal and accounting expense.  


As at September 30, 2012, the Company had 9,727,500 warrants outstanding, in relation to which the Company reported financing costs associated with the valuation of warrants of $781,968, as compared to 2,233,334 warrants outstanding as at September 30, 2011 when the Company reported $77,291 in financing costs associated with the valuation of warrants.  


Operation and administration expense increased by $365,496 to $579,350 during the period ended September 30, 2012, as compared to an expense of $213,854 reported during the period ended September 30, 2011.  The net increase was primarily due to: corporate development costs incurred in connection with the Company’s bid to acquire a junior exploration company based in Canada; costs incurred in connection with the Company’s listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “LSL”; an increase in the Company’s investor relations expense; the expansion of the Company’s management team and support staff to enable the execution of the Company’s business plan; certain members of management ceasing to be consultants to the Company and becoming employees of the Company; and the costs associated with the Company’s corporate head office established in Toronto, Canada.  


Exploration expense increased by $188,755 to $198,401 during the period ended September 30, 2012, as compared to an expense of $9,646 reported during the period ended September 30, 2011.  During the period ended September 30, 2011, the Company had not secured enough equity financing to commence a meaningful exploration program, as compared to the period ended September 30, 2012, when the Company was in the midst of an extensive exploration program that was commenced in January of 2012, after completing equity financings in excess of $5,000,000.


The increase in the foregoing expenses was partially offset by a decrease in consulting expense and legal and accounting expense.


Consulting expense decreased by $196,217 to $2,916 during the period ended September 30, 2012, as compared to an expense of $199,133 reported during the period ended September 30, 2011.  During the period ended September 30, 2012, certain individuals were now employees of the Company, whereas during the period ended September 30, 2011, those individuals served as consultants to the Company.


Legal and accounting expense decreased by $122,413 to $77,235 during the period ended September 30, 2012, as compared to an expense of $199,648 reported during the period ended September 30, 2011.  During the period ended September 30, 2011, the Company incurred increased legal fees, primarily in connection with the Company’s subsequent listing of its shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “LSL”.

The Company had a net loss and comprehensive loss of $1,630,584 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net loss and comprehensive loss of $727,228, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a change of $903,356 or approximately 124%.  The change in net loss and comprehensive loss was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses as described above, partially offset by the gain from foreign exchange translations during the current period, versus a loss from foreign exchange translations during the comparative period.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Management currently believes that the Company may not have sufficient working capital needed to meet its current fiscal obligations.  In order to continue to meet its fiscal obligations beyond the next nine to twelve months, management has plans to pursue various financing alternatives including, but not limited to, merger and acquisition activity, raising capital through the equity markets and debt financing.


In order to acquire a 70% interest in the Trinity Project, the Company is required to incur $5,000,000 in exploration expenditures over a six-year period from March 29, 2010, the date of the Earn-In Agreement, to March 29, 2016.  In addition, by the end of March 29, 2017, the Company is required to produce a bankable feasibility study.  The Company believes that it will have satisfied the $5,000,000 exploration expenditure commitment prior to March 29, 2013, the third year of the Earn-In Agreement.  The Company is currently planning to raise approximately $5,000,000 to fund additional work to complete the bankable feasibility study and to fund ongoing working capital.  The additional work will consist of engineering and metallurgical testing, confirmation drilling, and an update of the National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate.


The primary source for capital for the Company is the equity markets.  Management plans to continue its canvassing efforts of investors and financial institutions to invest capital in the Company through private placement offerings of common shares or units consisting of common shares and warrants.  The terms and pricing of any such financing would be determined in the context of the markets.  The Company has not entered into an agency agreement or arrangement with any financial institution to raise capital at this time.


Should the Company not be successful at raising capital through the issuance of capital stock, the Company may consider raising capital by the issuance of debt.  However, unless the appropriate features, such as convertible options, are attached to the debt instruments, this form of financing is less desirable until such time as the Company may be in a position to reasonably foresee the generation of cash flow to service and repay debt.  The Company does not currently have plans to issue debt.


Further, on an ongoing basis, management will review potential merger or acquisition targets to determine if certain synergies exist for the Company and if the potential target would strengthen the Company’s financial position.  Management does not currently have any merger or acquisition target identified.


In the event that the Company raises some funds, but, due to difficult capital market conditions or other factors, is not successful at raising all funds needed to complete the bankable feasibility study and fund ongoing working capital, management plans to reduce overhead and maintain the Trinity Project under a care and maintenance program, until such time as the capital markets improve for junior exploration companies.  Management believes that this option is available to it, without jeopardizing its interest in the Trinity Project, due to the accelerated pace at which it has incurred exploration expenditures in relation to the timeline for the minimum expenditure commitment prescribed in the Earn-In Agreement.


On November 10, 2011, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with Look Back Investments, Inc. (“Investor”), pursuant to which the Investor acquired Subscription Receipts (“Subscription Receipts”) for U.S. $0.50 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of U.S. $3,250,000; the gross proceeds of U.S. $3,250,000 (the “Escrow Proceeds”) were held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt. Each Subscription Receipt entitled the Investor to receive one unit (a "Unit") from the Company without payment of any additional consideration upon conditional approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange for the listing of the common shares of the Company. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the Company and one common stock purchase warrant (a “Warrant”); each Warrant is exercisable at a price of US $0.65 per share at any time until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on December 31, 2013. On December 19, 2011, each Subscription Receipt was automatically converted for no additional consideration, into one Unit of the Company as a result of the Company’s receipt of notice that its common stock was accepted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol, “LSL”, effective as of December 22, 2011. On December 19, 2011, the Escrow Proceeds were delivered to the Company from the escrow agent. As a result of the foregoing private placement transaction, the Company currently has the necessary working capital needed to meet its current budget.



36







Additionally, on December 19, 2011, the Company completed a private placement offering, pursuant to which the Company raised a total of US $1,313,750 through the sale of 2,627,500 Units at a purchase price of US $0.50 per Unit; there were no underwriting discounts or commissions paid. Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock of the Company and one common stock purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one share of common stock at a price of US $0.65 for a period of two years following the date of the closing of the financing.


Effective September 28, 2012, the Company issued 100,000 common shares upon the exercise of 100,000 whole warrants for gross proceeds of CDN$ 75,000.


Effective October 3, 2012, the Company issued 300,000 common shares upon the exercise of 300,000 whole warrants for gross proceeds of CDN$ 225,000.


As at the date of this registration statement, there are 9,627,500 warrants outstanding, which may be exercised at various exercise prices, for gross proceeds of $6,247,875.


Current Assets and Total Assets


As of September 30, 2012, the unaudited balance sheet reflects that the Company had: i) total current assets of $1,152,040, as compared to total current assets of $1,796,779 at June 30, 2012, a decrease of $644,739, or approximately 36%; and ii) total assets of $1,309,940, as compared to total assets of $1,956,416 at June 30, 2012, a decrease of $646,476, or approximately 33%.  The decrease in assets was primarily due to cash used in operating activities, partially offset by a net increase in other working capital items.

 

Total Current Liabilities and Total Liabilities


As of September 30, 2012, the unaudited balance sheet reflects that the Company had total current liabilities and total liabilities of $157,714, compared to total current liabilities and total liabilities of $167,948 at June 30, 2012, a decrease of $10,234 or approximately 6%.  The net decrease in liabilities was due to a decrease in accounts payable, partially offset by an increase in accrued liabilities.  The current liabilities of the Company are expected to be settled in the regular course of business.

Equity Compensation Plan Information


On April 19, 2011, subject to shareholder approval, the Board of Directors of Liberty Silver Corp. approved the adoption of the Liberty Silver Corp. Incentive Share Plan (the “Plan”) under which common shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for purposes of possible future issuance of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, and stock grants to employees, directors and certain key individuals.  Under the Plan, the maximum number of common shares reserved for issuance shall not exceed 10% of the common shares of the Company outstanding from time to time.   The purpose of the Plan shall be to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging equity participation in the Company through the acquisition of common shares of the Company.  In order to maintain flexibility in the award of stock benefits, the Plan constitutes a single plan, but is composed of two parts.  The first part is the Share Option Plan which provides grants of both incentive stock options under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and nonqualified stock options.  The second part is the Share Bonus Plan which provides grants of shares of Company common stock. The following is intended to be a summary of some of the material terms of the Plan, and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety, by the full text of the Plan.  

The Plan

   

The Plan is a rolling plan, under which the maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Share Option Plan, together with the Share Bonus Plan, shall not exceed 10% of the Shares outstanding (on a non-diluted basis) at any given time. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Corporation by (i) providing certain employees, senior officers, directors, or consultants of the Corporation (collectively, the “Optionees”) with additional performance incentives; (ii) encouraging Share ownership by the Optionees; (iii) increasing the proprietary interest of the Optionees in the success of the Corporation; (iv) encouraging the Optionees to remain with the Corporation; and (v) attracting new employees, officers, directors and consultants to the Corporation.

Share Option Plan


The following information is intended to be a brief description and summary of the material features of the Share Option Plan:


(a)

The aggregate maximum number of Shares available for issuance from treasury under the Share Option Plan, together with the Share Bonus Plan, at any given time is 10% of the outstanding Shares as at the date of grant of an option under the Plan, subject to adjustment or increase of such number pursuant to the terms of the Plan. Any Shares subject to an option which has been granted under the Share Option Plan and which has been surrendered, terminated, or expired without being exercised, in whole or in part, will again be available under the Plan.

(b)

The exercise price of an option shall be determined by the Board at the time each option is granted, provided that such price shall not be less than the closing price of the Shares on the principal stock exchange(s) upon which the Shares are listed and posted for trading on the trading day immediately preceding the day of the grant of the option.

(c)

Options granted to persons conducting Investor Relations Activities (as defined in the Plan) for the Corporation must vest in stages over twelve months with no more than ¼ of the options vesting in any three month period.



44






(d)

In the event an Optionee ceases to be eligible for the grant of options under the Share Option Plan, options previously granted to such person will cease to be exercisable within a period of 12 months following the date such person ceases to be eligible under the Plan.

(e)

In the event that a take-over bid or issuer bid is made for all or any of the issued and outstanding Shares, then the Board may, by resolution, permit all options outstanding to become immediately exercisable in order to permit Shares issuable under such options to be tendered to such bid.

Share Bonus Plan


The following information is intended to be a brief description and summary of the material features of the Share Bonus Plan:


(a)

Participants in the Share Bonus Plan shall be directors, officers, employees, or consultants of the Corporation who, by the nature of their positions are, in the opinion of the Board and upon the recommendation of the President of the Corporation, in a position to contribute to the success of the Corporation.

(b)

The determination regarding the amount of bonus Shares issued pursuant to the Share Bonus Plan will take into consideration the Optionee’s present and potential contribution to the success of the Corporation and shall be determined from time to time by the Board. However, in no event shall the number of bonus Shares pursuant to the Share Bonus Plan, together with the Share Option Plan, exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares in the aggregate.

General Features of the Plan


In addition to the above summaries of the Share Option Plan and the Share Bonus Plan, the following is intended to be a brief description and summary of some of the general features of the Plan:


(a)

The aggregate number of Shares reserved pursuant to the Plan for issuance to insiders of the Corporation within any twelve-month period, under all security based compensation arrangements of the Corporation, shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares then outstanding.

(b)

The aggregate number of Share reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan to any one person in any twelve month period shall not exceed 5% of the total number of Shares outstanding from time to time, unless disinterested shareholder approval is obtained pursuant to the policies of the Corporation’s principal stock exchange(s) upon which the Shares are listed and posted for trading or any stock exchange or regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the securities of the Corporation. No more than 2% of the outstanding Shares may be granted to any one Consultant (as defined in the Plan) in any twelve month period, or to persons conducting Investor Relations Activities (as defined in the Plan) in any twelve month period.

Director Compensation


The general policy of the Board is that compensation for independent directors should be equity-based compensation.  Additionally, we reimburse our directors for reasonable expenses incurred during the course of their performance. We have no long-term incentive or medical reimbursement plans.  The Company does not pay employee directors for Board service in addition to their regular employee compensation.  The Board determines the amount of director compensation.   The following table provides a summary of compensation paid to directors during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE


Certain Relationships and Related Transactions


Effective April 1, 2011, the Company borrowed a total of $150,000 pursuant to the terms and conditions of promissory notes (individually referred to as a “Note” and collectively referred to as the “Notes”) entered into with six individuals who were serving as directors of the Company, including John Barrington, R. Geoffrey Browne, Paul Haggis, Tom Hodgson, George



47






Kent and Timothy Unwin.   Each Note was for $25,000 and is required to be repaid by the Company on the earlier of one year, or when the Company raises a minimum of $2,000,000 through equity investments.   The Notes are interest free for the first six months following the date of the Note and then bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum thereafter.   In conjunction with the entry into the Notes, in lieu of the holders charging the Company interest on the outstanding principal of the Notes for the initial six months, the Company issued each holder a warrant entitling the holder to purchase up to a total of 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at price of $0.55 per share for a period of three (3) years following the date of the Note.  The Notes were repaid through the issuance of shares of common stock in the Company on December 19, 2011.


John Barrington currently serves as a consultant of the Company.  Pursuant to a verbal arrangement with the Company, in consideration of his services as a consultant to the Company, Mr. Barrington is paid $10,000 per month; there is no written agreement relating to the foregoing arrangement.  Additionally, On April 19, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company granted John Barrington, a director of the Company, non-qualified stock options to purchase up to a total of 500,000 shares Liberty Silver Corp. common stock at an exercise price of $.75 per share, all of which have vested.   


On November 10, 2011, the Company issued 6,500,000 subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”) to Look Back Investments Inc. (“Investor”), a company controlled by, or under the direction of, Mr. R. Genovese, pursuant to a private placement at a price of US$ 0.50 per Subscription Receipt for gross proceeds of US $3,250,000; there were no underwriting discounts or commissions paid.  On December 19, 2011, each Subscription Receipt was automatically converted for no additional consideration, into one unit of the Company (a “Unit”) as a result of the Company’s receipt of notice that its common stock was accepted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the trading symbol, “LSL”, effective as of December 22, 2011.  Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase one warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable at a price of US $0.65 per share at any time until 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on December 31, 2013.  

 

In conjunction with the issuance of Subscription Receipts, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed, following the conditional approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange, to file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission which registers the common stock and common stock underlying the Warrants acquired by the investor for resale.  If the registration statement did not become effective on or before six months from the date of conditional approval by the Toronto Stock Exchange for the listing of the common stock of the Company, the Investor would receive an additional common share for each ten (10) common shares.  The Company chose not to file a registration statement and as a result, on May 31, 2012, the Company issued 650,000 common shares in satisfaction of this contractual obligation, the value for which of $416,000 was determined by the closing market price of $0.64 per share on the date of issuance.


Aside from the foregoing, there were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, during the Company’s last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions, to which the Company was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeded the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of the small business issuer’s total assets at year-end for the last three completed fiscal years and in which any director, executive officer or any security holder who is known to us to own of record or beneficially more than five percent of any class of our common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had an interest.


Director Independence

The Company’s common stock is currently traded on the Grey Market, and as such, is not subject to the rules of any national securities exchange which requires that a majority of a listed company’s directors and specified committees of its board of directors meet independence standards prescribed by such rules. For the purpose of preparing the disclosures in this registration statement with respect to director independence, the Company has used the definition of “independent director” within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees adopted by the Canadian Securities Administration and as set forth in the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ, which defines an “independent director” generally as being a person, other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Consistent with these standards, the Company’s board of directors has determined that W. Thomas Hodgson, Timothy Unwin, Paul Haggis, and George Kent are “independent”.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Liberty Silver Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company)

Toronto, Canada

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Liberty Silver Corp. (an exploration stage company) as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and from inception on February 20, 2007 through June 30, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Liberty Silver Corp. (an exploration stage company) as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 and from inception on February 20, 2007 through June 30, 2012 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company has suffered recurring losses and has no operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 9. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Liberty Silver Corp

Notes to the Financial Statement

June 30, 2012 and 2011


Note 1 – Nature and Continuance of Operations


The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 20, 2007. The Company is considered an exploration stage company since its formation, and the Company has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.  The Company is primarily focused on the exploration, acquisition and development of mining and mineral properties.  Upon the location of commercially minable reserves, the Company plans to prepare for mineral extraction and enter the development stage.


On May 24, 2007, the Company had acquired a mineral property located in Elko County, within the state of Nevada. The Company was not able to determine whether this property contained reserves that were economically recoverable. The Company has ceased their attempts at developing this property.


On February 11, 2010, the Company amended its articles of incorporation. The articles of incorporation were amended for the purposes of (1) changing the name of the registrant to Liberty Silver Corp, and (2) increasing the authorized shares of the Company from 75,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock to 200,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock.


On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into an Exploration Earn-In Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AuEx Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation.


The Agreement relates to the Trinity Silver property (the “Property”) located in Pershing County, Nevada, which consists of a total of approximately 10,600 acres, including 5,700 acres of fee land and 240 unpatented mining claims.


The Company is reviewing other potential acquisitions in the mineralized material and non-mineralized material sectors. While the Company is in the process of completing due diligence reviews of several opportunities, there is no guarantee that we will be able to reach any agreement to acquire such assets.


Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies


The following is a summary of significant account policies used in the preparation of these financial statements.

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to exploration stage enterprises.  The financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars, the functional currency.  The Company’s fiscal year end is June 30.

         

b. Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.


c. Mineral rights, property and acquisition costs


The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on February 20, 2007 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties.


The Company capitalizes acquisition and option costs of mineral rights as tangible assets. Upon commencement of commercial production, the mineral rights will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the life of the mineral rights. If the Company does not continue with exploration after the completion of the feasibility study, the mineral rights will be expensed at that time.



F-9







The costs of acquiring mining properties are capitalized upon acquisition.  Mine development costs incurred to develop and expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas in advance of production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to maintain current exploration or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations.  Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment.  The Company evaluates the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property and equipment costs, to determine if these costs are in excess of their recoverable amount whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  Evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets .


d. Property and equipment


Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 3 to 39 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense).


The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful lives of property and equipment or whether the remaining balance of property and equipment should be evaluated for possible impairment. If events and circumstances warrant evaluation, the Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the property and equipment in measuring their recoverability. The Company currently owns furniture and office equipment as its depreciable assets.


e. Impairment of long-lived assets

 

The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC 360-10-35-17, Measurement of an Impairment Loss , if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable.  As of June 30, 2012, exploration progress is on schedule with the Company’s exploration and evaluation plan and no events or circumstances have happened to indicate that the related carrying values of the properties may not be recoverable. When the Company determines that an impairment analysis should be done, the analysis will be performed using the rules of FASB ASC 930-360-35, Asset Impairment , and 360-10-15-3 through 15-5, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets .

 

Various factors could impact the Company’s ability to achieve forecasted production schedules. Additionally, commodity prices, capital expenditure requirements and reclamation costs could differ from the assumptions the Company may use in cash flow models used to assess impairment. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable minerals from exploration stage mineral interests involves further risks in addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence that the identified mineralized material can ultimately be mined economically.


Material changes to any of these factors or assumptions discussed above could result in future impairment charges to operations.


f. Fair Value of Financial instruments


The Company adopted FASB ASC 820-10-50, “ Fair Value Measurements. This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:


  

·

Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.




F-10









  

·

Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.


 

·

Level 3 inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement.


The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for the cash and cash equivalents, and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.


g. Environmental expenditures


The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future, be affected from time to time, in varying degrees, by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation, by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.


Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries. No costs have been, or may never be recognized by the Company for environmental expenditures.


h. Income taxes


The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued FASB ASC 740-10 (Prior authoritative literature: Financial Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48)).  FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position.  If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.  As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.  


Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

i. Basic and diluted net loss per share


The Company computes net loss per share of common stock in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share (“ASC 260”). Under the provisions of ASC 260, basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants and the conversion of convertible promissory notes. Stock options of 6,950,000 as of June 30, 2012 and warrants in the amount of 10,027,500 as of June 30, 2012 were considered in the calculation but not



F-11






included due to anti-dilution. The dilutive effect of these instruments is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. 


The Company’s calculation of basic and diluted loss per share is as follows:

j. Stock-Based compensation


In December 2004, FASB issued FASB ASC 718 (Prior authoritative literature:  SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”) .  FASB ASC 718 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services.  It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.  FASB ASC 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions.  FASB ASC 718 requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements.  That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued.


k. Use of estimates and assumptions


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. In these financial statements, assets, liabilities and earnings involve extensive reliance on management’s estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s periodic filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties, and market that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.  


l. Concentrations of credit risk


The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and related party payables. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management also routinely assesses the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.




F-12






m. Risks and uncertainties


The Company operates in the mineralized material exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, and other risks associated with operating a mineralized material exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.  


n. Foreign currency transactions


The Company from time to time will receive invoices from service providers that are presenting their invoices using the Canadian dollar.  The Company will use its US dollars to settle the Canadian dollar liabilities and any differences resulting from the exchange transaction are reported as gain or loss on foreign exchange.  The gain or loss reported by the Company in the financial statements represents transaction gain or loss.


Note 3 – New Technical Pronouncements

The Company has reviewed accounting pronouncements issued during the past two years and has assessed the adoption of any that are applicable to the Company.  Management has determined that none had a material impact on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Note 4 - Mineral Property


Pursuant to a mineral property purchase agreement dated May 24, 2007, the Company acquired a 100% undivided right, title and interest in a mineral claim, located in Section 8 of T35N, R36E Mount Diablo Base Meridian in Elko County, within the state of Nevada for a cash payment of $10,000. The Company must annually renew the lease on the land with the state for $1,800 and has not renewed the lease as of fiscal year end, June 30, 2010. The lease has expired.


Since the Company had not established the commercial feasibility of the mineral claim, the acquisition costs had been capitalized. The Company has not depleted the mineral claims as no proven reserves have been found. The Company was not able to keep the mineral claim in good standing due to lack of funding. The Company allowed the mineral claim to lapse at the end of June 2009. At June 30, 2009, the Company determined that there was little, or no, possibility of the company generating revenues related to the mining interests. This, coupled with the lapse of the mineral claims lease, was determined to be an impairment of the asset. As such, the Company’s management determined to fully impair the mining interests, which was a charged to the Company’s statements of operations in the amount of $11,800.


On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into an Exploration Earn-In Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AuEx Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The Agreement relates to the Trinity Silver property (the “Property”) located in Pershing County, Nevada, which consists of a total of approximately 10,600 acres, including 5,700 acres of fee land and 240 unpatented mining claims.


Under the Agreement, the Company may earn-in a 70% undivided interest in the Property during a 6-year period in consideration of (1) a signing payment of $25,000, which has been made and has been capitalized, (2) an expenditure of a cumulative total of $5,000,000 in exploration and development expenses on the Property by March 29, 2016, and (3) completion of a bankable feasibility study on the Property on or before the 7 th anniversary date of the Agreement.


The Company has completed, and continues to pursue, financing opportunities to be in compliance with terms of the Earn-In Agreement. There has been no mining of mineralized materials to date.


Subsequent to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, as discussed in Note 10 herein, on August 8, 2012, the Company entered into a conditional letter agreement with Primus Resources, L.C. to acquire approximately 100 acres located adjacent to the former Trinity Silver mine on the Company’s Trinity property in Nevada.

Note 6 – Related Party Payable


Effective April 1, 2011, the Company borrowed a total of $150,000 pursuant to the terms and conditions of promissory notes (individually referred to as a "Note" and collectively referred to as the "Notes") entered into with six of the Company's directors. Each Note was for $25,000 and was required to be repaid by the Company on the earlier of one year, or when the Company raised a minimum of $2,000,000 through equity investments. The Notes were interest free for the first six months following the date of the Note and then bore interest at a rate of 8% per annum thereafter. In conjunction with the entry into the Notes, in lieu of the holders charging the Company interest on the outstanding principal of the Notes for the initial six months, the Company issued each holder a warrant entitling the holder to purchase up to a total of 50,000 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.55 per share for a period of three (3) years following the date of the Note. The Notes were repaid during the year at the time of the Company's equity financing during the year.


Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies


Effective November 1, 2011, the Company entered into a sub-lease agreement for the lease of premises in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, for a term of 54 months.  The Company has its head office at these premises, which is approximately 1,400 square feet.  The annual base rent commitment for the Toronto head office space is CAD $48,094.


Effective February 8, 2012, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the lease of premises in Sparks, Nevada, USA, for a term of 12 months.  The Company has its field office at these premises, which is approximately 5,500 square feet.  The annual base rent commitment for the Sparks field office space is USD $27,972.


As at June 30, 2012, the Company had a commitment, for the above noted leases, of USD $196,123 remaining.


The following table outlines the remaining lease commitment at the end of the next five fiscal years based on the leases that are currently entered into by the Company:

Additionally, in the normal course of operations, certain contingencies may arise relating to legal actions undertaken against the Company. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such potential legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity, or its financial position.


Note 8 - Income Taxes


The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued FASB ASC 740-10 (Prior authoritative literature: Financial Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48)).  FASB ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with prior literature FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position.  If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.  As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by FASB ASC 740-10.  


Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.  Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.


As of June 30, 2012, the Company had no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal and state income tax rates of 34% to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 due to the following:


Deferred tax assets and the valuation account are as follows:

The potential income tax benefit of these losses has been offset by a full valuation allowance.


As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company has an unused net operating loss carry-forward balance of $2,729,176 and $794,829 that is available to offset future taxable income. This unused net operating loss carry-forward balance begins to expire in 2029.

At June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.


The Company did not have any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. 

 

As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.


The tax years that remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions are those for the years ended June 30, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009.

Note 9 – Going Concern


These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $8,026,990 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.


Management has plans to pursue various financing alternatives including, but not limited to, merger and acquisition activity, raising capital through the capital markets and debt financing. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.


The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, explore and develop the mineral properties and the discovery, development, and sale of reserves.


These factors, among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


Note 10 – Subsequent events


On August 8, 2012, Liberty Silver entered into a conditional letter agreement with Primus Resources, L.C. to acquire approximately 100 acres located adjacent to the former Trinity Silver mine on the Company’s Trinity property in Nevada (the “Hi Ho Properties”). The Hi Ho Properties are the only acreage not controlled by Liberty Silver or its joint venture partner Renaissance Exploration Inc. on the Trinity land package. Under the terms of the Agreement, Liberty Silver will provide cash consideration of US$150,000 and issue 3,000,000 common shares of Liberty Silver stock to Primus. In addition, Primus will be granted a 2% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) on future production from the Hi Ho Properties. The total consideration for the acquisition of the Hi Ho Properties will be applied to Liberty Silver’s expenditure commitment under its Earn-In Agreement with Renaissance, upon acceptance by Renaissance, pursuant to the applicable area of interest provisions. With the addition of the Hi Ho Properties payment, Liberty Silver will have contributed in excess of 85% of its required US$5 million expenditure commitment to earn its 70% interest in the project. Pursuant to the terms of its Earn-In Agreement with Renaissance, the Company has until March 29, 2016 to incur the balance of its expenditure commitment and, in addition, produce a bankable feasibility study in the following year.


As disclosed on Form CB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 17, 2012, on July 16, 2012 Liberty Silver commenced an offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Sennen Resources Ltd. (“Sennen”). The Offer was open for acceptance by Sennen shareholders until 11:59 P.M. on Monday September 10, 2012.  The Offer was not accepted by the requisite number of Sennen shareholders, therefore the Offer was terminated on September 11, 2012 at 12:00 A.M.


Liberty Silver Corp has evaluated subsequent events for the period ended June 30, 2012 through the date the financial statements were issued, and concluded, aside from the foregoing, that there were no other events or transactions occurring during this period that required recognition or disclosure in its financial statements.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ deficit or cash flows. It is management's opinion, however, that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation.  The interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto, together with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, for the year ended June 30, 2012. The interim results for the period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year.  The interim unaudited financial statements are presented in USD, which is the functional currency.


Note 2 – Nature of Operations


The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 20, 2007. The Company is considered an exploration stage company since its formation, and the Company has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.  The Company is primarily focused on the exploration, acquisition and development of mining and mineral properties.  Upon the location of commercially minable reserves, the Company may plan to prepare for mineral extraction and enter the development stage.


On May 24, 2007, the Company had acquired a mineral property located in Elko County, within the state of Nevada. The Company was not able to determine whether this property contained reserves that were economically recoverable. The Company has since discontinued exploration activities on this mineral property.


On February 11, 2010, the Company amended its articles of incorporation. The articles of incorporation were amended for the purposes of (1) changing the name of the registrant to Liberty Silver Corp., and (2) increasing the authorized shares of the Company from 75,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock to 200,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock.


On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into an Exploration Earn-In Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AuEx Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation.


The Agreement relates to the Trinity Silver property (the “Property”) located in Pershing County, Nevada, which consists of a total of approximately 10,600 acres, including 5,700 acres of fee land and 240 unpatented mining claims.


The Company is reviewing other potential acquisitions in the mineralized material and non-mineralized material sectors. While the Company is in the process of completing due diligence reviews of several opportunities, there is no guarantee that it will be able to reach any agreement to acquire such assets.


Note 3 - Mineral Property

    

Pursuant to a mineral property purchase agreement dated May 24, 2007, the Company acquired a 100% undivided right, title and interest in a mineral claim, located in Section 8 of T35N, R36E Mount Diablo Base Meridian in Elko County, within the state of Nevada for a cash payment of $10,000. The Company was required to annually renew the lease on the land with the state for $1,800 and has not renewed the lease as of fiscal year end, June 30, 2010. The lease has expired.




F-27






Since the Company had not established the commercial feasibility of the mineral claim, the acquisition costs had been capitalized. The Company has not depleted the mineral claims as no proven reserves have been found. The Company was not able to keep the mineral claim in good standing due to lack of funding. The Company allowed the mineral claim to lapse at the end of June 2009. At June 30, 2009, the Company determined that there was little, or no, possibility of the company generating revenues related to the mining interests. This, coupled with the lapse of the mineral claims lease, was determined to be an impairment of the asset. As such, the Company’s management determined to fully impair the mining interests, which was charged to the Company’s statements of operations in the amount of $11,800.


On March 29, 2010, the Company entered into an Exploration Earn-In Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AuEx Ventures, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The Agreement relates to the Trinity Silver property (the “Property”) located in Pershing County, Nevada, which consists of a total of approximately 10,600 acres, including 5,700 acres of fee land and 240 unpatented mining claims.


Under the Agreement, the Company may earn-in a 70% undivided interest in the Property during a 6-year period in consideration of: (1) a signing payment of $25,000, which has been made and has been capitalized; (2) an expenditure of a cumulative total of $5,000,000 in exploration and development expenses on the Property by March 29, 2016; and, (3) completion of a bankable feasibility study on the Property on or before the 7 th anniversary date of the Agreement.


On August 8, 2012, Liberty Silver entered into a conditional letter agreement with Primus Resources, L.C. to acquire approximately 100 acres located adjacent to the former Trinity Silver mine on the Company’s Trinity property in Nevada (the “Hi Ho Properties”). The Hi Ho Properties are the only acreage not controlled by Liberty Silver or its joint venture partner Renaissance Exploration Inc. on the Trinity land package.  The Company completed the transaction on October 15, 2012, as further described in Note 6 – Subsequent Events.


The Company has completed some financing transactions, and continues to pursue additional financing opportunities in order to obtain the capital needed to fulfill its financial obligations under the terms of the Earn-In Agreement. There has been no mining of mineralized materials to date.


Note 4 – Capital Stock and Warrants


Authorized


The total authorized capital is 200,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.001 per common share.


Issued and outstanding


On September 28, 2012, the Company issued 100,000 common shares upon the exercise of 100,000 whole warrants at an exercise price of CDN $0.75 per common share, for gross proceeds of CDN $75,000.  The warrants were originally issued pursuant to a private placement offering of 200,000 Units on July 27, 2011.  The Units were comprised of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant.


Note 5 – Going Concern


These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $9,657,573 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business.  Management currently believes that the Company may not have sufficient working capital needed to meet its current fiscal obligations.  This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.


In order to continue to meet its fiscal obligations beyond the next nine to twelve months, management has plans to pursue various financing alternatives including, but not limited to, merger and acquisition activity, raising capital through the capital markets and debt financing. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to



F-28






the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.


The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, explore and develop the mineral properties and the discovery, development, and sale of reserves.


These factors, among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


Note 6 – Subsequent Events


On October 3, 2012, the Company issued 300,000 common shares upon the exercise of 300,000 whole warrants at an exercise price of CDN $0.75 per common share, for gross proceeds of CDN $225,000.  The warrants were originally issued pursuant to a private placement offering of 1,000,000 Units on August 4, 2011.  The Units were comprised of one common share and one half of one common share purchase warrant.  For the above share issuances, the shares were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemptions from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. No underwriters were used, nor were any brokerage commissions paid in connection with the above share issuances.


On October 5, 2012, Liberty Silver was named in an Order of Suspension of Trading (the "Order") from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Pursuant to the Order, trading in the Company's securities was suspended from October 5, 2012 through October 18, 2012.  Furthermore, effective October 11, 2012, the Company had its stock quotation under the symbol "LBSV" removed from the OTC Bulletin Board (the "OTCBB") as it became Ineligible for quotation on OTCBB due to quoting inactivity under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 15c2-11.


On October 12, 2012, the Ontario Securities Commission issued a cease trade order providing that trading in the securities of Liberty Silver Corp. (excepting issuances from treasury) shall cease until 11:59 pm EST on October 18, 2012 (the “OSC Order”).  The OSC Order was effective for the same time frame as the Order of Suspension of Trading imposed by the SEC.  


On October 15, 2012, the Company completed a transaction to acquire approximately 100 acres of land located adjacent to the former Trinity Mine on the Company’s Property in Nevada (the “Hi Ho Property”).  In closing the Hi Ho Property transaction, Liberty Silver paid cash consideration of US$250,000 plus transaction expenses, issued 2,583,333 Liberty Silver common shares (the “Liberty Silver Shares”) to Primus Resources, L.C., a Wyoming limited liability company, and James A. Freeman (collectively “Seller”) at a deemed value of US$1,860,000 (US$0.72 per share), and also granted Seller a 2% net smelter royalty on future production from the Hi Ho Property. In addition, pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into between Liberty Silver and Seller, Liberty Silver will pay Seller additional consideration as follows:


·

if a registration statement is declared effective by the United States Securities Exchange Commission in respect of the Liberty Silver Shares by March 1, 2013, Liberty Silver will issue an additional 277,778 Liberty Silver common shares to Primus, thereby increasing the total aggregate number of shares issued to 2,861,111 shares at a deemed value of US$2,060,000  (US$0.72 per share); or


·

if a registration statement is not declared effective by the United States Securities Exchange Commission in respect of the Liberty Silver Shares by March 1, 2013, Liberty Silver will pay Primus US$200,000. As well, if the five-day weighted average trading price of Liberty Silver’s common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange as of March 1, 2013 (the “Market Price”) exceeds US$0.72 per share, Liberty Silver will issue an additional number of Liberty Silver common shares to Primus equal to (a) 277,778 less (b) US$200,000 divided by the Market Price.





F-29






The total consideration for the acquisition of the Hi Ho Property will be applied to Liberty Silver’s expenditure commitment under its Earn-In Agreement with Renaissance pursuant to the applicable area of interest provisions.  With the addition of the Hi Ho Property payment, Liberty Silver will have contributed in excess of 85% of its required US$5 million expenditure commitment to earn its 70% interest in the project.  Pursuant to the terms of its Earn-In Agreement with Renaissance, the Company has until March 29, 2016 to incur the balance of its expenditure commitment and, in addition, produce a bankable feasibility study in the following year.


On October 19, 2012, the cease trade orders imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Ontario Securities Commission expired.  Trading in the Company’s shares on the TSX in Canada resumed on Monday, October 22, 2012.  The Company's stock was not immediately listed, traded or quoted on any of the OTC Markets.  The Company is taking steps to meet requirements necessary to permit its stock to resume trading on the OTCBB.  The Company’s stock may be traded in the US on the “grey market” or through US broker dealers who have access to the TSX.


The Company has evaluated subsequent events for the interim period ended September 30, 2012 through the date that the financial statements were issued, and concluded, aside from the foregoing, that there were no other events or transactions occurring during this period that required recognition or disclosure in its interim financial statements.

ITEM 14.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS



Pursuant to the provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, as we are, may generally indemnify its officers and directors, even in the absence of an agreement to do so, for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action or proceeding:


(i)

    if such officer or director (a) acted in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, (b) did not commit a breach of fiduciary duty of the type specified in Section 78.138 of the NRS, and (c) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; or


(ii)

    with respect to an action by or in the right of the corporation, if such director or officer (a) acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and (b) did not commit a breach of fiduciary duty of the type specified in Section 78.138 of the NRS, except that indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court determines upon application that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.


Any discretionary indemnification under the foregoing provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, must be authorized upon a determination that such indemnification is proper: (i) by the stockholders, (ii) by a majority of a quorum of disinterested directors, or (iii) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion authorized by a majority vote of a quorum of directors consisting of disinterested directors or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if a quorum of disinterested directors cannot be obtained.


The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, as we are, is required to indemnify directors and officers for any expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by any director or officer in connection with any actions or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, brought against such director or officer because of his or her status as a director or officer, to the extent that the director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of the action or proceeding.



51







The NRS prohibits indemnification of a director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that the director’s or officer’s acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law and were material to the cause of action. Despite the foregoing limitations on indemnification, the NRS may permit a director or officer to apply to the court for approval of indemnification even if the director or officer is adjudged to have committed intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law.


The NRS further provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance for directors and officers against liabilities incurred while acting in such capacities regardless of whether the corporation has the authority to indemnify such persons under the NRS.


Our Articles of Incorporation provide for elimination of any liability of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, and our Bylaws provide for indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.  In addition, as permitted by Nevada law, we have purchased and currently maintain insurance for officers and directors against liabilities incurred while acting in such capacities, including liabilities as to which we are not permitted to provide indemnification.


The above-described provisions relating to the exclusion of liability and indemnification of directors and officers are sufficiently broad to permit the indemnification of such persons in certain circumstances against liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors and officers and to persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS

The undersigned Company hereby undertakes to:

(1) File, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act");

(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement, and (iii) Include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

(4) For determining liability of the undersigned registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.



57






In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.


For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:


If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:


(i) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and


(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or


If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of a registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

\

If the registrant is relying on Rule 430A:


(i) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.


(ii) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Re:

Registration on Form S-1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records, documents, certificates and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion express below.  As to certain factual matters, we have relied upon certificates of the officers of the Company and have not sought to independently verify such matters.

[EXHIBIT51FOXROTHSCHILD002.JPG]




EX1 1231438v3 01/22/13












 In rendering this opinion, we have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on original documents; the legal capacity of all natural persons; the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as certified or photocopies; the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents; the accuracy and completeness of all documents and records reviewed by us; the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates issued by any governmental official, office or agency and the absence of change in the information contained therein from the effective date of any such certificate; and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness of such documents.


Our opinion herein is expressed solely with respect to the laws of the State of Nevada and is based on these laws as in effect on the date hereof.  We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any jurisdiction are applicable to the subject matter hereof.  We are not rendering any opinion as to compliance with any federal or state law, rule or regulation relating to securities, or to the sale or issuance thereof.

 

Based upon that review, it is our opinion that (i) the Issued Shares to be sold by the selling shareholders have been legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable and (ii) the Warrant Shares, when issued and sold in accordance with and in the manner described in the Warrants, will be duly authorized, legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.


We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus which forms part of the Registration Statement.  In giving such consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and

Very truly yours,

LBSV may in its sole discretion terminate this Agreement at any time by giving not less than 30 days prior written notice to that effect to AuEx. Upon expiry of the 30 day notice period, or if the Agreement is terminated pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, the Agreement will be of no further force and effect. Upon such termination, LSV shall have no further obligation to incur Exploration and Development Expenses on or for the benefit of the Property and shall have no further obligations or liabilities to AuEx under this



5




Agreement or with respect to the Property (including without limitation liability for lost profits or consequential damages as a result of an election by LBSV to terminate this Agreement), other than (a) as set forth in the remainder of this paragraph, and (b) to reclaim (in accordance with applicable law) any disturbances of the Property made by LBSV. AuEx hereby agrees to grant LBSV such access to the Property as is reasonably necessary to complete any required reclamation. At any time LBSV may, at its option, terminate its interest in some but less than all of the Claims by written notice to AuEx, provided that if such notice (or notice of termination of this Agreement in its entirety) is received by AnEx after June 30th of any year, LBSV shall remain obligated to pay the claim maintenance fees (and make all filings and recordings required in connection therewith) for those Claims to which such termination applies for the upcoming assessment year. To the extent LBSV terminates its interest in some but less than all of the Claims, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the remaining Claims.


2.

In the event LBSV is in default in the observance or performance of any of LBSV’s covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement, AuEx may give written notice of such alleged default specifying the details of same. LBSV shall have 30 days following receipt of said notice (or, in the event LBSV in good faith disputes the existence of such a default, 30 days after a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction finding that such a default exists) within which to remedy any such default described therein, or to diligently commence action in good faith to remedy such default. If LBSV does not cure or diligently commence to cure such default by the end of the applicable 30-day period, then AuEx shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing 30 days advance written notice to LBSV. In the event of such termination, the provisions of Section D.l shall apply with respect to the parties’ ongoing obligations and liabilities.



E.

PARTICIPATION AT THE JOINT VENTURE STAGE



1.

During the Earn-In Period LBSV will fund all Exploration and Development Expenses on the Property and will be the operator.


2.

At such time as LBSV earns a 70% undivided interest in the Property, the parties will thereafter participate in expenditures on the Property in accordance with their respective interests therein, or have their interest diluted in accordance with a straight-line dilution formula, as set forth in the joint venture agreement.


3.

If through dilution the interest of a party is reduced to less than 10%, then that party’s participating interest shall automatically be converted to a 3% NSR interest. Should third party claims be acquired with royalties within the Area of Interest, the 3% royalty described above would be reduced by the amount of such royalty but not below 1%. This reduction does not apply to the royalty described in section A (c) above.


4.

Capitalized terms used in this Section E but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in Model Form 5A.

F .

RIGHTS DURING EARN-IN PERIOD



1.

During the Earn-In Period, LBSV and its employees, agents and independent contractors shall have the exclusive right to enter upon the Property and to conduct such prospecting, exploration, development or other mining work thereon and thereunder as they desire consistent with the Newmont Lease and as is permitted by federal and Nevada laws. LBSV’s activities on the Property may include any activities for which the costs would qualify as Exploration and Development Expenses, as well as the removal of mineral samples for the purpose of, and in amounts appropriate for, testing such mineral samples, including bulk sampling, and in addition LBSV shall have the right to bring upon and erect upon the Property such buildings, plants, machinery and equipment as LBSV may deem necessary or desirable to carry out such activities.


2.

LBSV in its sole discretion will decide any matter concerning the conduct of its prospecting, exploration, development or other mining activities on the Property.


3.

In the conduct of its exploration, development and other activities on the Property, LBSV shall be responsible for compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including laws and regulations related to exploration, development, mining and reclamation.


4.

LBSV, so long as it has not terminated this Agreement in whole or in part, shall be responsible for timely payment of required claim maintenance fees, property taxes, and any other payments required to maintain the Property. LBSV shall also be responsible for timely filing and recording of all documents required to evidence the payment of required claim maintenance fees. As long as it complies with the obligations set forth in this Section F.4, LBSV shall have no liability whatsoever to AuEx as a result of a loss of any of the Claims due to a challenge by any third party or the U.S. government. (how much are annual property taxes?)


5.

Subject to AuEx’s prior written approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), LBSV shall have the full, exclusive right, but not the obligation, to abandon (including abandonment and relocation as millsites), relocate, amend, defend contests or adverse actions or suits and negotiate settlement thereof with respect to any and all of the Claims, and AuEx shall cooperate with LBSV and shall execute any and all documents necessary or desirable in the opinion of LBSV to further such amendments, relocations, contests, adverse actions or suits, or settlement of such contests or adverse actions or suits. LBSV shall not be liable to AuEx for the loss of any of the Claims as a result of such abandonments, amendments, relocations, contests or adverse actions or suits, so long as the same are undertaken in good faith.


6.

All exploration and related data generated by either party must be provided to both parties in as close to near real time as reasonable. This includes having AuEx on the email list for copies of preliminary and final assay results, draft and final reports and other time sensitive material. In addition, AuEx may request copies of any other data or information pertaining to the TSP at any time arid this must be provided by LBSV within a reasonable time frame.

G.

FORCE MAJEURE



If LBSV should be delayed in or prevented from performing any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement by reason of a cause beyond the control of LSV, whether or not foreseeable, including fires, floods, earthquakes, subsidence, ground collapse or landslides, interruptions or delays in transportation or power supplies, strikes, lockouts, wars, acts of God, native title claims, inability to obtain required governmental permits or approvals in a timely manner, government regulation or interference (but excluding a lack of funds), then any such failure on the part of LBSV to so perform shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement and the time within which LBSV is obliged to comply with any terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement shall be extended by the period of all such delays. LBSV shall give notice in writing to AuEx forthwith and for each new cause of delay or prevention shall set out in such notice particulars of the cause, and the date on which the same arose, and shall take all reasonable steps to remove the cause of such delay or prevention, and shall also give notice immediately following the date that such cause ceases to exist.



H.

AREA OF INTEREST



1.

My interest or rights to acquire (a) any interest in mining claims or in other real property interests within the area described in Exhibit “A-2” (the Area of Interest”) or (b) contiguous claims that may extend beyond the Area of Interest, acquired during the Earn-In Period by or on behalf of either party or any affiliate or subsidiary of either party shall become subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section H.2.


2.

Within 30 days after the acquisition of such additional property, all or any portion of which lies within the Area of Interest (or constitutes contiguous claims that may extend beyond the Area of Interest), the acquiring party shall notify the other party of such acquisition. Such notice shall describe in detail the acquisition, the lands, the nature of the interest therein, the mining claims or other real property interest covered thereby, and the acquisition cost. In addition to such notice, the acquiring party shall make any and all information concerning the additional property available to the other party. The other party shall then have 30 days after receipt of such notice and information to elect in its sole discretion to include such additional interest in the Property.


3.

All costs incurred by LBSV for acquiring additional property that becomes subject to this Agreement shall accrue toward the LBSV Aggregate Work Obligation. Should AuEx be the acquiring party and LBSV elect to accept the additional property into the Property, LBSV shall reimburse AuEx for its acquisition costs, and the amount of such reimbursement shall accrue toward the Aggregate Work Obligation.


4.

II a party elects not to include such an additional interest as part of the Property, then with respect to that additional interest, either party shall be free to take actions with respect to and dispose of such interest without any obligation to the other party.




8




5.

All real property interest and any new claims accepted to the Property must be acquired in the name of AuEx, Inc until such time as LBSV has vested its 70% interest in the TSP.



I.

ASSIGNMENT



1.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns. LBSV may, upon the prior written approval of AuEx, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, assign this Agreement to other parties that are not affiliated with LBSV at any time, provided that the assignee agrees in writing to assume all LSV’s obligations under this Agreement. Upon such assignment, or an assignment to an affiliate (as described below), LBSV shall have no further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement. At any time, and without the consent of AuEx, LBSV may assign this Agreement (a) to one or more of its affiliates upon the affiliate assuming all of LBSV’s obligations under this Agreement (affiliate meaning any entity which directly or indirectly controls or is controlled by, or under common control with, LBSV); (b) in connection with a pledge by LBSV for financing purposes, (e) in connection with a corporate merger or reorganization involving LBSV, or (d) in connection with a sale of all or substantially all of LBSV’s assets. Upon LBSV’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, AuEx may assign its interest in the Property and this Agreement to a third party, provided that any such third party must agree in writing to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement,


2.

If at any time during the En-In Period (a) either party decides to sell or otherwise convey any interest in the Property or this Agreement, or (b) either party’s owner decides to sell a controlling interest in the ownership of that party, the other party shall have the right of first refusal to acquire that party’s interest in the Property and this Agreement, on the same terms and conditions as the conveying party (or its owner) would be willing to accept from (or as have been proposed by) a third party. If either party desires to sell or otherwise convey any interest in the Property or this Agreement, the conveying party shall provide a notice to the other party with the proposed terms and conditions it would accept for such interest (and if that desire is based on an offer from a third party, a copy of the proposed contract or terms). If either party’s owner is considering selling a controlling interest in that party, such notice shall describe the monetary consideration ascribed to that party’s interest in the Property and this Agreement or that the owner would be willing to accept for that interest prior to such a sale. If the consideration for the proposed transaction is partially or completely non-monetary, the conveying pasty (or its owner) shall also supply information as the monetary equivalent of such consideration. The other party shall then have 90 days to decide whether to exercise its right of first refusal. If the other party exercises its right of first refusal, the parties shall promptly proceed to consummate the proposed transaction, for the consideration (or its monetary equivalent) and on the terms and conditions set forth in the notice from the conveying party (or its owner). If the other party elects not to exercise its right of the first refusal, the conveying party (or its owner) shall then have a period of 90 days to consummate the conveyance of its interest in the Property or this Agreement (or a controlling interest in the ownership of that party) to a third party, on the same terms and



9




conditions as had been offered to the other party. If that conveyance to a third party is not completed during the 90-day period, the other party’s right of first refusal shall be reinstated.



J.

INDEMNIFICATION



1.

LBSV agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless AuEx (and its officers, directors, successors and assigns) from and against any and all debts, liens, claims, causes of action, administrative orders and notices, costs (including, without limitation, response and/or remedial costs), personal injuries, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, interest, fines, penalties and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, consultant’s fees and expenses, court costs and all other out-of-pocket expenses, suffered or incurred by AuEx and its successors as a result of: (a) any breach by LBSV of any of its representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement, or (b) any operations or activities engaged in by LBSV on the Property, including without limitation any matter, condition or state of fact involving Environmental Laws or hazardous materials which may arise after the Effective Date of this Agreement and that is caused by LBSV.


2.

AuEx agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless LBSV (and its officers, directors, successors and assigns) from and against any and all debts, liens, claims, causes of action, administrative orders and notices, costs (including, without limitation, response and/or remedial costs), personal injuries, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, interest, fines, penalties and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, consultant’s fees and expenses, court costs and all other out-of-pocket expenses, suffered or incurred by LBSV and its successors as a result of: (a) any breach by AuEx of any of its representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement, or (b) any operations or activities engaged in by AuEx on the Property, including without limitation any matter, condition or state of fact involving Enviromnental Laws or hazardous materials which may exist prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement or which may arise after the Effective Date of this Agreement and that is caused by AuEx.


3.

The parties hereto, within 5 days after the service of process upon either of them in a lawsuit, including any notices of any court action or administrative action (or any other type of action or proceeding), or promptly after either of them, to its respective knowledge, shall become subject to, or possess actual knowledge of, any damage, liability, loss, cost, expense, or claim to which the indemnification provisions of this Section J relate, shall give written notice to the other party setting forth the fact relating to the claim, damage, or loss, if available, and the estimated amount of the same. “Promptly” for purposes of this paragraph shall mean giving notice within 5 days. Failure to receive prompt notification shall not relieve either party of its indemnification obligations hereunder unless such party is materially prejudiced thereby. Upon receipt of such notice relating to a lawsuit, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to (i) participate at its own expense in the defense or investigation of any claim or lawsuit or (ii) assume the defense thereof, in which event the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified party for legal or attorney fees thereafter incurred by such indemnified party in defense of such action or claim; provided, that if the indemnified party may have any unindemnified liability out of such claim, such party shall have the right to approve the counsel selected by the indemnifying party, which approval shall not be withheld unreasonably. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any claim or lawsuit, all costs of defense of such claim or lawsuit shall thereafter be borne by such party and such party shall have the authority to compromise and settle such claim or lawsuit, or to appeal any adverse judgment or ruling with the



10




cost of such appeal to be paid by such party; provided, however, if the indemnified party may have any unindemnified liability arising out of such claim or lawsuit the indemnifying party shall have the authority to compromise and settle each such claim or lawsuit only with the written consent of the indemnified party, which shall not be withheld unreasonably. The indemnified party may continue to participate in any litigation at its expense after the indemnifying party assumes the defense of such action. In the event the indemnifying party does not elect to assume the defense of a claim or lawsuit, the indemnified party shall have authority to compromise and settle such claim or lawsuit only with the written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or to appeal any adverse judgment or ruling, with all costs, fees, and expenses indemnifiable under this Section J hereof to be paid by the indemnifying party. Upon the indemnified party’s furnishing to the indemnifying party an estimate of any loss, damage, liability, or expense to which the indemnification provisions of this Section J relate, the indemnifying party shall pay to the indemnified party the amount of such estimate within 10 days after receipt of such estimate.

M.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION



The parties hereby agree that any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be subject to the informal dispute resolution procedure set forth in this Section M. For purposes of this Section M, the party asserting the existence of a dispute as to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement or the performance by the other party of any of its obligations hereunder shall notify the other party of the nature of the asserted dispute. Within seven business days after receipt of such notice, the President of LBBSV and the President of AnEx shall arrange for a personal or telephone conference in which they use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If those individuals are unable to resolve the dispute, they shall each prepare and, within seven business days after their conference, circulate to the President of LBSV and the President of AuEx a memorandum outlining in reasonable detail the nature of the dispute. Within five business days after receipt of the memoranda, the individuals to whom the memoranda were addressed shall arrange for a personal or telephone conference in which they attempt to resolve such dispute.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if LBSV has earned its undivided 70% interest in the Property in accordance with the provisions of Section B.l, and AuEx refuses to execute and deliver the deed referred to therein, the parties agree that LBSV may seek an order from a court requiring specific performance of that obligation, as an appropriate and necessary remedy under such circumstances, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies that may be available.



N.

JOINT VENTURE OPERATION



1.

LBSV shall be the operator upon submission and acceptance of the Bankable Feasibility Study. The position of operator will thereafter be fulfilled by that party which has the greater interest in the Property unless that party agrees that the other party may act as operator. The operator shall be subject to possible replacement should he be negligent in his responsibilities, act fraudulently or not conduct the obligations of operator in a manner satisfactory to all parties.


2.

Annual programs and budgets will be reviewed and approved by a management committee comprised of members from LBSV and AuEx voting in proportion to their ownership interest. A unanimous approval shall be required if an annual budget is proposed to be modified by more than 25% or if a proposed annual budget exceeds a previous year annual budget by more than 50%.


3.

The Operator will be entitled to a 5% overhead fee for exploration and development related activities and a 3% overhead fee for mine construction and mine operations. The overhead fee will not apply to land lease payments or holding costs or to certain large invoice items as is customary and as the parties shall agree.




12




4.

The management committee will be formed generally in accordance with the provisions of Model Form 5A with committee members of each party holding collectively votes in proportion to the interests held by the party they represent.


5.

The decision to commence production shall be made by a unanimous approval of the management committee. If the minority party does not vote to commence production, the majority party may elect to move forward by providing the minority partners share of capital on the basis of a loan as defined in 7 below.


6.

All exploration and related data generated by either party must be provided to both parties in as close to near real time as reasonable. This includes having AuEx on the email list for copies of preliminary and final assay results, draft and final reports and other time sensitive material. In addition, AuEx may request copies of any other data or information pertaining to the TSP at any time and this must be provided by LBSV within a reasonable time frame.


7.

Project financing will be conducted by the operator on a 100% basis as one unified financing for the project. Both partners will seek to work in unison for one financing solution and each party will have consistent terms. Each party shall provide its proportionate shall of initial capital and the majority partner agrees to extend a loan to the minority partner for its share of capital should it so request. Said loan plus interest at Libor plus 4 % would be paid back to the majority owner from 90% of the minority partner’s cash flow after deducting operating costs and project debt payment.

Exhibit 1

Net Smelter Returns


Payor:  Renaissance Exploration, Inc.


Recipient:  Primus Resources, L.C. as to an undivided seventy-five percent (75%) and James      A. Freeman as to an undivided twenty-five percent (25%).  


1.

Definitions.  The terms defined in the instrument to which this Exhibit is attached and made part of shall have the same meanings in this Exhibit.  The following definitions shall apply to this Exhibit.


1.1

"Gold Production" means the quantity of refined gold outturned to Payor's account by an independent third party refinery for gold produced from the Property during the month on either a provisional or final settlement basis.


1.2

"Gross Value" shall be determined on a month basis and have the following meanings with respect to the following Minerals:


1.2.1

Gold


(a)

If Payor sells gold concentrates, dore or ore, then Gross Value shall be the value of the gold contained in the gold concentrates, dore and ore determined by utilizing:  (1) the mine weights and assays for such gold concentrates, dore and ore; (2) a reasonable recovery rate for the refined gold recoverable from such gold concentrates, dore and ore (which shall be adjusted annually to reflect the actual recovery rate of refined metal from such gold concentrates, dore and ore); and (3) the Monthly Average Gold Price for the month in which the gold concentrates, dore and ore were sold.


(b)

If Payor produces refined gold (meeting the specifications of the London Bullion Market Association, and if the London Bullion Market Association no longer prescribes specifications, the specifications of such other association generally accepted and recognized in the mining industry) from Minerals, and if Section 1.2.1(a) above is not applicable, then for purposes of determining Gross Value, the refined gold shall be deemed to have been sold at the Monthly Average Gold Price for the month in which it was refined.  The Gross Value shall be determined by multiplying Gold Production during the month by the Monthly Average Gold Price.


1.2.2

Silver.


(a)

 If Payor sells silver concentrates, dore or ore, then Gross Value shall be the value of the silver contained in the silver concentrates, dore and ore determined by utilizing:  (1) the mine weights and assays for such silver concentrates, dore and ore; (2) a reasonable recovery rate for the refined silver recoverable from such silver concentrates, dore and ore (which shall be adjusted annually to reflect the actual recovery rate of refined metal from such silver concentrates, dore and ore); and (3) the Monthly Average Silver Price for the month in which the silver concentrates, dore and ore were sold.


(b)

If Payor produces refined silver (meeting the specifications for refined silver subject to the New York Silver Price published by Handy & Harmon, and if Handy


1








& Harmon no longer publishes such specifications, the specifications of such other association or entity generally accepted and recognized in the mining industry) from Minerals, and if Section 1.2.2(a) above is not applicable, the refined silver shall be deemed to have been sold at the Monthly Average Silver Price for the month in which it was refined.  The Gross Value shall be determined by multiplying Silver Production during the month by the Monthly Average Silver Price.


1.2.3

All Other Minerals.


(a)

If Payor sells any concentrates, dore or ore of Minerals other than gold or silver, then Gross Value shall be the value of such Minerals determined by utilizing:  (1) the mine weights and assays for such Minerals; (2) a reasonable recovery rate for the Minerals (which shall be adjusted annually to reflect the actual recovery rate of recovered or refined metal or  product from such Minerals); and (3) the monthly average price for the Minerals or product of the Minerals for the month in which the concentrates, dore or ore was sold.  The monthly average price shall be determined by reference to the market for such Minerals or product which is recognized in the mining industry as authoritative and reflective of the market for such Minerals or product.


(b)

If Payor produces refined or processed metals from Minerals other than refined gold or refined silver, and if Section 1.2.3(a) above is not applicable, then Gross Value shall be equal to the amount of the proceeds received by Payor during the month from the sale of such refined or processed metals. Payor shall have the right to sell such refined or processed metals to an affiliated party, provided that such sales shall be considered, solely for purposes of determining Gross Value, to have been sold at prices and on terms no less favorable than those that would be obtained from an unaffiliated third party in similar quantities and under similar circumstances.


1.3

"Minerals" means gold, silver, platinum, antimony, mercury, copper, lead, zinc, and all other mineral elements and mineral compounds, but not geothermal resources, which are contemplated to exist on the Property or which are after the Effective Date discovered on the Property and which can be extracted, mined or processed by any method presently known or developed or invented after the Effective Date.


1.4

"Monthly Average Gold Price" means the average London Bullion Market Association Afternoon Gold Fix, calculated by dividing the sum of all such prices reported for the month by the number of days for which such prices were reported during that month.  If the London Bullion Market Association Afternoon Gold Fix ceases to be published, all such references shall be replaced with references to prices of gold for immediate sale in another established marked selected by Payor, as such prices are published in Metals Week magazine, and if Metals Week magazine no longer publishes such prices, the prices of such other association or entity generally accepted and recognized in the mining industry.


1.5

"Monthly Average Silver Price" means the average New York Silver Price as published daily by Handy & Harmon, calculated by dividing the sum of all such prices reported for the month by the number of days in such month for which such prices were reported.  If the Handy & Harmon quotations cease to be published, all such references shall be replaced with references to prices of silver for immediate sale in another established market selected by Payor as published in Metals Week magazine, and if Metals Week magazine no longer publishes such


2








prices, the prices of such other association or entity generally accepted and recognized in the mining industry.


1.6

"Net Smelter Returns" means the Gross Value of all Minerals, less the following costs, charges and expenses paid or incurred by Payor with respect to the refining and smelting of such Minerals:


1.6.1

Charges for smelting and refining (including sampling, assaying and penalty charges), but not any charges or costs of agglomeration, beneficiation, crushing, extraction, milling, mining or other processing; and


1.6.2

Actual costs of transportation (including freight, insurance, security, transaction taxes, handling, port, demurrage, delay and forwarding expenses incurred by reason of or in the course of such transportation) of concentrates or dore metal from the Property to the smelter or refinery, but not any charges or costs of transportation of Minerals or ores from any mine on the Property to an autoclave, concentrator, crusher, heap or other leach process, mill or plant.


1.7

"Property" means the real property described in the instrument to which these Net Smelter Returns provisions are attached and made a part.


1.8

"Silver Production" means the quantity of refined silver outturned to Payor's account by an independent third-party refinery for silver produced from the Property during the month on either a provisional or final settlement basis.


2.

Payment Procedures.


2.1

Accrual of Obligation.  Payor's obligation to pay the  Royalty shall accrue and become due and payable upon the sale or shipment from the Property of unrefined metals, dore metal, concentrates, ores or other Minerals or Minerals products or, if refined metals are produced, upon the outturn of refined metals meeting the requirements of the specified published price to Payor's account.


2.2

Futures or Forward Sales, Etc.  Except as provided in Sections 1.2.1(a), 1.2.2(a) and 1.2.3 (a) (regarding sales of unprocessed gold and silver and sales of Minerals other than gold and silver), Gross Value shall be determined irrespective of any actual arrangements for the sale or other disposition of Minerals by Payor, specifically including but not limited to forward sales, futures trading or commodities options trading, and any other price hedging, price protection, and speculative arrangements that may involve the possible delivery of gold, silver or other metals produced from Minerals.


2.3

Monthly Calculations and Payments.  Net Smelter Returns royalties shall be determined on a monthly basis.  Payor shall pay Recipient each monthly royalty payment on or before the last business day of the month immediately following the month in which the royalty payment obligation accrued.  Payor acknowledges that late payment by Payor to Recipient of royalty payments will cause Recipient to incur costs, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain.  Accordingly, if any amount due and payable by Payor is not received by Recipient within ten (10) days after such amount is due, then Payor shall pay to Recipient a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such overdue amount.  Recipient’s acceptance of such late charge shall not constitute a waiver of Payor’ default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent


3








Recipient from exercising any of Recipient’s other rights and remedies.  If any amount payable by Payor remains delinquent for a period in excess of thirty (30) days, Payor shall pay to Recipient, in addition to the late payment, interest from and after the due date at the statutory interest rate.


2.4

Statements.  At the time of payment of the royalty, Payor shall accompany such payment with a statement which shows in detail the quantities and grades of refined gold, silver or other metals or dore, concentrates or ores produced and sold or deemed sold by Payor in the preceding month; the Monthly Average Gold Price and Monthly Average Silver Price, as applicable; costs and other deductions, and other pertinent information in detail to explain the calculation of the payment with respect to such month.  Payment shall be made to the address provided in the agreement or instrument to which this Exhibit is attached for purposes of notices or to such other address as Recipient provides to Payor or by wire transfer to an account which Recipient designates.


2.5

Inventories and Stockpiles.  Payor shall include in all monthly statements a description of the quantity and quality of any gold or silver dore that has been retained as inventory for more than ninety (90) days.  Recipient shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the statement to either:  (a) elect that the dore be deemed sold, with Gross Value to be determined as provided in Sections 1.2.1 (a), with respect to gold, and 1.2.2(a), with respect to silver, as of such thirtieth (30th) day utilizing the mine weights and assays for such dore and utilizing a reasonable recovery rate for refined metal and reasonable deemed charges for all deductions which Payor is authorized to take, or (b) elect to wait until such time as the royalty payment otherwise would become payable pursuant to Sections 1.2.1(b) and 1.2.2(b).  Recipient’s failure to respond within such time shall be deemed to be an election to use the methods described in Sections 1.2.1(b) and 1.2.2(b).


2.6

Audit.   Upon reasonable notice and at a reasonable time, Recipient shall have the right to audit and examine the Payor’s accounts and records relating to the calculation of the Net Smelter Returns royalty payments for a period of up to one year after delivery of the monthly statement in question.  If such audit determines that there has been a deficiency or an excess in the payment made to Recipient, such deficiency or excess shall be resolved by adjusting the next monthly royalty payment due Recipient.  Recipient shall pay all costs of such audit unless a deficiency of five percent (5%) or more of the royalty payment due for the calendar month in question is determined to exist in which case Payor shall reimburse Recipient for the cost of the audit.  All books and records used by Payor to calculate the royalty payments shall be kept in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the mining industry.


3.

Sampling and Commingling.  Payor shall have the right to commingle Minerals and ores from the Property and materials from other properties, provided, that Payor first informs Recipient, in writing, of Payor’s intention to commingle and delivers to Recipient a detailed written description of Payor’s commingling plan.  Recipient shall have ninety (90) days during which to review and comment on Payor’s proposed commingling plan.  In any and all events, all Minerals and ores shall be measured and sampled by Payor in accordance with sound mining and metallurgical practices for metal and mineral content before commingling of any such Minerals or ores with materials from any other property.  Representative samples of materials from the Property intended to be commingled shall be retained by Payor, and assays of these samples shall be made before commingling to determine the metal content of each ore.  Detailed records shall


4








be kept by Recipient showing measurements, assays of metal content and gross metal content of the materials from the Property are commingled.
