1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
BACKGROUND
USCorp
(hereafter, the “Company”, “we” and “our” refer to USCorp) was formed in May
1989 in the state of Nevada as The Movie Greats Network, Inc. In August 1992,
the Company changed its name to The Program Entertainment Group, Inc. In August
1997, the Company changed its name to Santa Maria Resources, Inc. In September
2000, the Company changed its name to Fantasticon, Inc. and in January 2002 the
Company changed its name to USCorp.
In April
2002, the Company acquired USMetals, Inc. (“USMetals”), a Nevada corporation,
and holder of 141 unpatented lode mining claims by issuing 24,200,000 shares of
Company Common Stock in exchange for all of the then issued and outstanding
shares of USMetals. USMetals became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
Since being acquired by USCorp USMetals has added lode and placer claims for a
total of 172 claims that we refer to as the Twin Peaks Project.
Southwest
Resource Development, Inc. (“Southwest”) was formed and organized under the laws
of the State of Nevada on April 3, 2004 as a wholly owned subsidiary of USCorp.
On or about May 29, 2004, Southwest acquired 8 lode and 21 placer mining claims
(the “Mining Claims”) in Imperial County, California. Since being formed by
USCorp Southwest has added additional claims for a total of 124 claims that we
refer to as the Picacho Salton Project.
Both
USMetals and Southwest have acquired additional mining claims and USCorp has
performed significant exploration work, including the completion of feasibility
studies, environmental, ecological and biological reports and performed drilling
as described more fully below (See “USMETALS - Summary of Organization and
Business” and “SOUTHWEST RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT, INC. - Summary of Organization
and Business”).
OVERVIEW
USCorp is
an “exploration stage” company. All of the Company’s mining claims are held in
the names of its wholly owned subsidiaries, USMetals, Inc. (“USMetals”) and
Southwest Resource Development, Inc. (“Southwest”). The Company’s operations
center on completing exploration and beginning development of USMetals’ mining
property known as the Twin Peaks Project, and Southwest’s mining properties
which the Company refers to as the Picacho Salton Project. The Company has
realized no revenues from operations to date.
The
Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, USMetals, owns 172 mining claims
in the Eureka Mining District of Yavapai County, Arizona, called the Twin Peaks
Project; and through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Southwest, owns a total of 124
mining claims in the Mesquite Mining District of Imperial County, California,
called the Picacho Salton Project.
A.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS.
We have
included in this discussion of Recent Developments quotes from recent press
releases, without providing updating or clarifying statements within the
quotations. Additional information, including updates and clarifications, if
any, follow in subsequent paragraphs and in other sections of this
Report.
In
October 2009 we reported that, in order to facilitate ongoing negotiations with
a number of mining companies, we had uploaded proprietary technical data to a
secure website operated by Pandesa ShareVault for viewing by industry
professionals. This data is now available on USCorp’s web site at uscorpnv.com.
Access to the proprietary data is by invitation only after signing a
confidentiality agreement and it is password protected. The information
includes:
|
·
|
Feasibility Studies and Technical
Reports for Twin Peaks in Arizona, USA and Picacho Salton in California,
USA, Historical Assays, Drill Logs and other documents from the late 1800s
through 2009

Corporate Information and SEC
filings

Also in
October 2009 our former President, Secretary and Treasurer, Larry Dietz, passed
away. Larry was a friend and business associate for over 25 years. His knowledge
of mineralization occurrences throughout the Southwest was unparalleled. He was
a Vietnam veteran. Most importantly, Larry was a truly good man and we miss
him.
In
December, 2009 members of management, representatives of Geological Support
Services, Wondjina Research and Laguna Mountain Environmental along with
representatives from the El Centro Office of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
participated in a conference regarding our application to conduct exploratory
drilling on our Picacho Salton Project in Imperial County, California. All
remaining issues were thoroughly discussed along with the steps needed to
address those issues in order for the BLM to approve the company’s mining plan
of operations. It is USCorp’s belief, assuming no additional comments from the
BLM, that the approval may be granted during 2011.
In
January 2010 we announced the reelection of Robert Dultz as Chairman of the
Board of Directors and a Director, Carl O’Baugh and Spencer Eubank to the Board
of Directors and the election of Michelle Seibel and B. K. Simerson as
directors. We also announced officers as follows: Robert Dultz, President CEO
and Acting CFO; and Spencer Eubank as Secretary-Treasurer.
Also in
January we released general information about contacts with principals regarding
potential financing, joint-venture, merger, acquisition or other business
combinations whose purpose is development of the Company’s California and
Arizona properties by or with well-financed and highly experienced
miners.
In
February we began advanced negotiations with two entities. Those communications
had as their object one or more of the following: equity and/or debt financing
in the US and Europe with our Class A and/or Class B Common, joint-venture,
merger, acquisition or other combinations whose purpose is development of
USCorp’s California and Arizona properties and public markets by or with
well-financed and highly experienced miners and financial
entities.
In July
we reported that in January, USCorp entered into discussions with a European
entity, and some progress was made regarding a private placement of our Common
Class B shares in Europe. USCorp was not able to release any information
publically or privately regarding this transaction due to the ongoing nature of
the discussions. During a spike up to 24 cents per share in March of our Class A
shares in the U.S. they were not able to complete their commitment, leading to a mutually
agreed termination of contract.
Recently
the Proprietary Information about USCorp and technical information about our
properties was moved to our web site and is now available, upon request at uscorpnv.com. This is
the same body of information that was previously available on the Sharevault web
site. Access to the proprietary data is by invitation only after signing a
confidentiality agreement and it is password protected. The information
includes:

Studies and Technical Reports for Twin Peaks in Arizona, USA and Picacho
Salton in California, USA, Historical Assays, Drill Logs and other

Corporate
Information and SEC filings
|
This
information is technical in nature; it is intended for mining industry
professionals and not the general public. Summaries and reports based on the
proprietary information are available to the general public on our web site and
in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Meanwhile,
in California we are in the final stages of obtaining approvals necessary to
conduct our planned drilling program on our Picacho Salton Project. The Bureau
of Land Management (BLM) has determined that all necessary studies and reports
have been submitted and are complete. USCorp has entered the final step before
the BLM grants approval of our Mining Plan of Operations for the Picacho
site.
During
the 30 day Comment Period, during which the public was offered an opportunity to
voice concerns, the Quechan Tribe of Fort Yuma did object to our proposed
drilling program in a letter dated 8 June 2010. The California BLM is currently
working with the Quechan Tribe to resolve those objections. We have been assured
by the BLM that resolution is progressing, although when resolution will come is
not known.
The
following are excerpts from an email received by USCorp from the California
Desert District BLM Office:
"…In the
process of writing the decision record we will have to respond to every issue
brought up by the tribe…From the look of things we might also amend some
portions of the E.A. [Environmental Assessment] while resolving some of these
issues. … I believe we will be through with this process soon..."
USCorp
has addressed the concerns of the Quechan Tribe and expects that approval of our
California drilling program will attract the financing necessary to allow USCorp
to complete the planned drilling program at the Picacho Salton Project in
California.
In August
we released and update that discussed Earlier in the month we filed our Report
on Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with
financial statements for the period ending June 30, 2010, our fiscal third
quarter. A link to the filing is on our web site: http://uscorpnv.com.We also paid
the annual maintenance fee for our California and Arizona Claims. We filed 172
claims in Arizona and 124 claims in California.
We reduced the number of claims filed in California and therefore our cost
basis, by eliminating duplicate lode and placer claims that covered the same
ground and correcting or eliminating overlapping claims. Our total acreage
remains the same.
In
California we are very close to obtaining approvals necessary to initiate our
planned drilling program for our Picacho Salton Project. In Arizona the third
and final phase of the Twin Peaks drilling program is designed and necessary to
generate a report that meets industry measurement reporting standards. Without
the third phase completed we cannot say much regarding the results of the first
two phases, except to release assay results as we have done previously. Our
current projections were made without including the results from the first two
phases of the drilling program because of the need for the completion of the
third phase.
We
continue to discuss financing options with individuals and entities regarding
potential acquisition, direct investment, joint-venture, and other business
combinations. We have also begun discussions concerning expanding and
strengthening our mining management team.
In
September we announced that USCorp had signed a non-binding Letter of Intent
(LOI) with a multinational Chinese agricultural conglomerate with over USD$700
million in annual revenues. The next step was to complete a definitive agreement
spelling out terms and conditions including major financing for USCorp, which we
reported in October, see below.
“We
believe USCorp has shown itself to be a survivor in an era of economic
difficulties that have left many investors whose investments in ‘safe’ or
‘conservative’ companies left them holding the bag, in some cases an empty bag.
And in an era of disappearing juniors, forced out of business by the effects of
the economy, USCorp is still around, kept alive by the efforts of our management
team, working hard and spending frugally, as well as the efforts of our loyal
shareholders and investors. USCorp has done what it said it would do, limited
only by finances available to fulfill our business plan,” stated Robert Dultz,
CEO of USCorp.
On
September 29, 2010 a meeting of the shareholders was held without notice
pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Nevada corporate statues and the
bylaws of the corporation at which meeting a majority of the shares of the
company were voted in person and by proxy. A summary of the matters submitted to
the security holders follow. All items were approved by majority
vote:

amended to read as follows: that all issued and outstanding USCorp Preferred
stock, when converted to Common A Stock shall be returned to the Treasury of
Preferred Stock of the Company;
The
nominations for fiscal 2011 directors by the shareholders were Robert Dultz,
Director and Chairman, Spencer Eubank, Director, Michelle Seibel Director, and
as outside directors Carl O’Baugh, and B. K. Simerson were approved and the

The
Officers of the corporation for fiscal 2011 were elected by the Board of
Directors: Robert Dultz CEO, President and acting CFO; Spencer Eubank
Secretary-Treasurer; and Michelle Siebel Assistant Secretary;

Dultz 1.5 million; Spencer Eubank 500 thousand shares; Michelle Seibel 250
thousand shares; Carl O’Baugh 50 thousand shares and B. K. Simerson 50 thousand
shares;
The
release of proprietary corporate information, including information regarding
the corporation’s properties, to select individuals and entities after
acknowledging the confidentiality of that information for the purpose of fund
raising, property development, joint-ventures, mergers and acquisitions, loans
and other deal making activities was approved by the shareholders;
The
re-negotiation of the “Gold Bullion Loan” and Convertible Debentures to gain an
extension of time to repay these from the lenders was approved;
The Board
was authorized to take whatever actions are deemed necessary by the Board to
protect the corporation’s rights, through its subsidiaries to explore, develop
and extract the minerals at the Twin Peaks Project property and the Picacho
Salton Project property;
Spinning
off the corporation’s subsidiaries, USMetals, Inc., and Southwest Resource
Development, Inc. when and if deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors was
authorized by the Shareholders;
The
Shareholders authorized distribution to the corporation’s shareholders as a
dividend of shares in USMetals, Inc., and Southwest Resource Development, Inc.,
at a rate of 1 subsidiary share for each 10 USCorp Common A, Common B,
(Regulation S share which trade only offshore, at this time in Europe), and
Series A and B Preferred shares (based on conversion rate) owned, or such other
rate as may be determined by the Board, and to issue USMetals, Inc., and
Southwest Resource Development, Inc. shares to warrant holders of USCorp
warrants when they exercise their warrants, fractions to be rounded to the next
highest full share;
The
determination to implement or to not implement such spin-offs, at the discretion
of the Board, when and if necessary, in order to protect the investments and
rights of the shareholders as well as the ownership of said properties by
USMetals, Inc., and Southwest Resource Development, Inc, was authorized by the
shareholders;
The
Shareholders authorized the Board to raise funds by selling stock via private
placement or public offering in a manner, for prices and at times to be
determined by the Board;
The
formation of a joint venture entity and/or a joint venture with “the Chinese
Conglomerate (“TCC“) according to the Joint Venture Agreement signed by USCorp
and TCC when and if TCC fulfills the conditional terms and conditions of said
agreement, namely funding of the joint venture was approved by the
shareholders;
The
shareholders authorized the Board to extend the final cut-off date of January
15, 2011 of the Joint Venture Agreement with TCC if it is deemed by the Board to
be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to do so;
and
The
shareholders approved all prior actions of the Board of Directors during fiscal
2010.
In
October we signed an Agreement to form a Joint Venture that will initially
provide USD$25 million in loans and loan guarantees for development of USCorp’s
mining properties. The Agreement also calls for raising USD$100 million publicly
or privately.
In
November we provided further details with regard to USCorp’s recently announced
agreement to form a joint venture to fund up to $125 million to develop gold and
silver properties.
USCorp
has signed an agreement with a fully reporting public US company, which is the
holding company of a major Chinese-based conglomerate with revenues in excess of
$700 million (USD) annually, to form a joint venture to complete exploration and
begin development of USCorp’s mining properties. The US company, holding Chinese
assets, has requested confidentiality until the joint venture is funded with an
initial $25 million, which must take place on or before January 15,
2011.
The
agreement calls for USCorp to contribute to the joint venture the claims it
presently owns in Arizona and California once the $25 million has been received
by the joint venture. It is the responsibility of the US company, holding
Chinese assets, to secure the $25 million in funding for the joint venture. If
it does, then each entity will own 50 percent of the joint venture. In
the event that the necessary initial funding is unable to be raised, the
agreement provides that it will be cancelled and neither USCorp nor the Chinese
partner will be obligated to perform under the Agreement. Initially the joint
venture is expected to carry out the following:
*
Completion of the drilling program at Twin Peaks in Arizona
*
Initiating and completing of the drilling program at Picacho Salton in
California
*
Updating the mineralization estimates in the Company’s Technical Reports on both
properties
*
Completion of all engineering and permitting on the two projects
*
Retirement of all existing debt
*
Commencement of mining operations.
This
newly-formed joint venture entity will seek to raise an additional $100 million
(USD) to expand its asset base but no assurance can be given that either funding
will be successful.
Upon the
completion of the funding the claims will be transferred to the joint venture
and the joint venture is expected to complete the drilling and development of
the properties. Reports from previous drilling show significant gold and silver
mineralization on the properties. This joint venture should enable completion of
the drilling programs in Arizona and California and commercial development of
these properties. USCorp’s Twin Peaks property in Yavapai County, Arizona is
near to, and on the same fault zone as the world famous Freeport-McMoRan mine in
Arizona. USCorp’s Picacho Salton Property, in California, is adjacent to both
NewGold’s open pit gold mine and the Goldcorp claims group in Imperial County
California.
This
newly-formed joint venture entity will seek to raise an additional $100 million
(USD) to expand its asset base but no assurance can be given that either funding
will be successful.
As of the
date of this report we are awaiting further information from the Chinese
Conglomerate.
B.
DESCRIPTION OF CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
The
Company’s plan of operation and business objectives are to engage in (a) the
precious metals exploration, mining, and refining business, and (b) the
acquisition of qualified candidates engaged in businesses that would complement
the Company’s existing or proposed operations. All of the Company’s mining
claims are held by its wholly owned subsidiaries.
USMETALS
- Summary of Organization and Business.
USMetals
(“USMetals”) was formed and organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on
May 3, 2000. On or about April 2, 2002, the Company acquired USMetals and its
141 lode mining claims (the “Mining Claims”). The purpose of USMetals is to
engage in the business of acquiring and developing mineral properties, exploring
for gold, silver, and other non-ferrous metals and minerals within the
contiguous United States. It is the further intention of USMetals to mine and to
process any commercially-proven reserves developed at its properties. The
company has recently expanded the Twin Peaks Project to a total of 172 Lode and
Placer claims.
The
Mining Claims of USMetals are located in West-Central Arizona, in the Eureka
Mining District of Yavapai County, Arizona, approximately 42 miles west of
Prescott, Arizona. Within the boundaries of USMetals’ Mining Claims, more
commonly referred to as the “Twin Peaks Project”, are the historic sites of the
Crosby, Hayes, Swiss Belle and Gloryhole Mines, past producers of gold and
silver. The Twin Peaks Project claims are geographically located in the
southwestern division of the Eureka Mining District, which includes many
significant mines and prospects. There are tungsten mines in the Camp Wood area,
to the northeast, the existing historic gold mines and prospects which abut
USMetals’ property to the southeast along the Santa Maria River, and tungsten,
copper, and zinc mines to the south and southeast. The area has a long history
of mining activities. Mining companies can obtain experienced labor, affordable
housing, equipment repair, and mining services within the district.
The Santa
Maria River traverses the Mining Claims and USMetals is the only company that
holds water rights to that section of the river, a valuable asset for a mining
company in this arid country.
All of
USMetals’ mining properties are unpatented mining claims; consequently, the
Company has only possessory title with respect to such properties. The claims
were duly transferred by official deed from the prior owner to USMetals on March
22, 2002. The real property upon which USMetals’ claims are located is subject
to a paramount lien by the United States of America; all of USMetals’ claims are
subject to the applicable rules and regulations of the United States Department
of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, which administers USMetals’ use and
activities on said Mining Claims. The Company has paid all of the required fees
in order to maintain the Company’s Mining Claims, for the current periods. All
of the necessary documents and affidavits have been filed with the Yavapai
County Recorder.
The
Company and USMetals have had a number of strategic working relationships with
various independent contractors in order to develop its Mining Claims. USMetals
further relies on the declarations and valuations formed and given in past
geological exploration and geochemical studies. USMetals has had consulting
and/or independent contractor relationships with Boart Longyear, LLC, Geological
Support Services, LLC, Harris Drilling Company, ALS Chemex, SGS Labs, Country
Chemist, and the 129-year-old Jacobs Assay 1880 with offices in Tucson, AZ., is
recognized by the Bureau of Land Management; Laguna Mountain Environmental,
Biozone, Inc. and Wondjina Research Institute. It should be noted that if
USMetals was forced to disassociate itself with one or more of the
abovementioned independent contractors, it could readily secure the services of
other individuals or entities to perform the work or services of equal or
greater quality; the loss of any one or all of the abovementioned contractors
would not cause USMetals material adverse effects; however, each of these firms
has demonstrated its capability and reliability in assisting the Company and
USMetals to develop the Mining Claims, and, to date, the abovementioned
companies have provided invaluable assistance to The Company’s senior executive
management in evaluating the potential represented by USMetals’ Mining
Claims.
Geological
Support Services, LLC in 2007 completed a feasibility study on the Twin Peaks
Project that identified mineralized material on the property and Geological
Support Services, LLC also completed a feasibility study on of the Picacho
Salton Project that identified mineralized material on that property. During
fiscal 2009 we completed Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 2.5 of a 3-phase drilling
program. For a summary of the results of that drilling program please see
“Recent Developments” in our Form 10-K for period ending September 30,
2009.
SOUTHWEST
RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT, INC. - Summary of Organization and Business
Southwest
Resource Development, Inc. (“Southwest”) was formed and organized under the laws
of the State of Nevada on April 3, 2004 as a wholly owned subsidiary of USCorp.
On or about May 29, 2004, Southwest acquired 8 lode and 21 placer mining claims
(the “Mining Claims”) formerly known as the Chocolate Mountain Region Claims and
the Picacho Area Claims. In 2007 this claims group was expanded to a total of
106 claims consisting of 22 placers and 84 lodes, on 4,600 acres, and in August
2008 it was again expanded to a total of 235 lode and placer claims called the
Picacho Salton Project. In August 2010 the claims were consolidated in order to
minimize overlapping claims to 124 lode and placer claims. The purpose of
Southwest is to engage in the business of acquiring and developing mineral
properties, exploring for gold, silver, and other non-ferrous metals and
minerals within the contiguous United States. It is the further intention of
Southwest to mine and to process any commercially-proven reserves developed at
its properties.
In lieu
of cash payment for the original 8 lode and 21 placer claims acquired in 2004
the Company entered into what is essentially a joint venture with the former
owners whereby the former owners are entitled to receive 20% of all net smelter
returns of gold after expenses, whether paid in cash or in kind. All of the
remaining claims are wholly owned by USCorp’s subsidiary,
Southwest.
The
Company has spent the last 8 years developing and implementing a plan that would
bring multiple properties under Company ownership. Through its wholly owned
subsidiary, Southwest, the Company has now acquired for development of a total
of 124 lode and placer claims of precious metal properties located in the
Chocolate Mountain region of the Mesquite Mining District in Imperial County,
California: Geological testing has successfully recovered gold and silver from
dry washes and feeder rills. Laboratory analysis indicates these findings
warrant continued development. Geological Support Services, LLC has completed a
feasibility study that identified mineralized material on the Picacho Salton
Project, The Company has completed archeological and environmental and
ecological reports and submitted a Mining Plan of Operations to drill to the
Bureau of Land Management who completed their review of the Plan.
The
Chocolate Mountains region, located in southeastern Imperial county of
California, includes the Picacho State Park and surrounding areas that has a
rich history of gold mining activities dating back to 1775. This property is in
a district that has been producing gold since the 1800s. In 1890 a large stamp
mill was built beside the Colorado River at the town of Picacho. The Picacho
Mine was opened in the Picacho Basin area and a narrow gauge railroad began
hauling ore from the mine to the mill. By 1904, the town of Picacho had a
population of 2,500 people. The ruins of the mill are in the Picacho State
Recreation Area a few miles east of the Picacho Salton Project claims. Thousands
of people visit the old mill ruins each year. To the south and west of the
Picacho Salton Project claims there are ruins of many old placer and lode
workings as well as recently producing major mining operations.
Numerous
discoveries of placer gold throughout Imperial County have remained undeveloped
due to a common problem encountered by small miners. Due to the lack of an
adequate water supply to support placer gold recovery operations in the region,
scores of small and medium size mining operations have failed to successfully
recover precious metals known to exist throughout the region. Southwest believes
it has located a potentially adequate water source. Southwest intends to use a
state of the art gold recovery system designed and developed for the specific
conditions found on these properties. Based on the recent reports of geologists
and engineers, Southwest believes this property has the potential to develop
into a significant gold producing operation.
Historically,
mining has been carried out in the Mesquite Mining District of Imperial County
using old hard rock mining and placer methods. However, in 1984, new mining
methods (“heap leaching”) were used to develop and mine low-grade ore bodies,
with an economically viable cut-off grade as low as .01 to .02 ounces of gold
per ton. Geological Support Services, LLC recently completed a feasibility study
that has identified mineralized material on the Picacho Salton Project.
Southwest intends to go into production as soon as possible after approvals and
financing are obtained.
In 2008
we submitted a Mining Plan of Operations (MPO) to the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) to conduct a 3-phase drilling program. During fiscal 2010 we made progress
toward gaining approval for our MPO (see “Recent Developments”)
Property
descriptions, locations and nature of ownership.
Picacho
Salton Project consisting of 124 Lode and Placer Claims in the Mesquite Mining
District of Imperial County, California, U.S.A. The Claims group is situated on
approximately 4,600 acres consisting of 124 lode and placer mining claims of
precious metal properties and located in the Mesquite Mining District of
Imperial County, California (see maps below). Some of the most recently added
property has common borders to Southwest’s other gold properties. Means of
access to the property is by an unmarked private dirt road, south of Picacho
State Park.
In
Arizona the 172 unpatented lode and placer mining claims, covers 3,440 acres,
which the Company refers to as the “Twin Peaks Project”. These claims are
located in the Eureka Mining District of Yavapai County, Arizona, U.S.A. Access
to the property from the west is by county maintained and private dirt roads
from Highway 93 (connecting Phoenix, Arizona with Las Vegas,
Nevada).
The
Company, through its wholly owned subsidiaries, owns unpatented mining claims
and pays an annual Maintenance Fee payment to the Bureau of Land Management
(“BLM”) for each of its claims. Maintenance Fee payments of $140 per claim are
due on or before August 31 each year.

Twin Peaks Project claims.
History
of previous operations.
Twin
Peaks Project claims group, in the Eureka Mining District of Yavapai County,
Arizona: From a historical perspective, Spaniards arrived in the area over 400
years ago and used the Santa Maria River to gain access to the claims area.
According to historical sources, the local Native Americans were used by the
Spaniards to mine gold and silver in the area, which was refined and shipped to
Spain. More recently, in the 1800s, John Lawler and Charles Crosby pioneered the
Eureka Mining District. In 1883, John Lawler discovered the area was rich in
gold, silver, lead, and zinc.
Charles
Crosby first discovered the Crosby Mine and worked his claims from 1906 to 1933.
His works are on a mineralized structure and flat zone. When the Crosby Mine
opened in 1906, it processed 120 ounces of gold per day. It operated a 40-stamp
amolotion mill until World War II. The Crosby group of claims are in the
northeast corner of the Twin Peaks claims group.
From the
mid-1920s to the mid-1930s, a prospector worked the Gloryhole claim, in the
southwest quadrant of the Company’s Twin Peaks claims group. The ore he mined
ran over 8 ounces of gold per ton. In 1941 and 1942, the claim was yielding 2.6
ounces of gold per ton. At that time, the ore was shipped to the railhead at
Hillside and then by train to a smelter in El Paso, Texas.
In 1885,
the Hayes Silver Mine opened. The deposit at the mine was so rich - over 300
ounces of gold and silver per ton - that the owners shipped the ore directly to
England for smelting and refining. The Hayes claims group is part of the
Company’s Twin Peaks claims group and located in the western quadrant of the
property.
Picacho
Salton Project Claims in the Mesquite Mining District of Imperial County,
California: There has been no commercial scale mining on any of the Company’s
claims in this region.
The
present condition of the property, the work we have completed on the property,
our proposed program of exploration and development, and the current state of
exploration and development of the property.
Twin
Peaks Project Claims Group: The Company has conducted exploration work on the
property, including drilling 3,000 feet of core samples in 2002 (in addition to
10,000 feet drilled by prior owners) and road improvements to repair and create
dirt road accesses to the property, and re-stake all claims using GPS. The
Company relies on geological work of experts performed by us and under prior
ownership in support of our reports of the presence of gold, silver, uranium and
other mineralization on the property. Geological Support Services, LLC in 2007
completed a feasibility study on the Twin Peaks Project that identified
mineralized material. In December 2007, we received a Cultural Resource Survey
(an archeological report) for proposed drill sites as part of the Company’s
application filed in August 2007 with the BLM to conduct additional drilling to
prove up reserves. In August and September and October of 2008 5,000 feet of
holes were drilled using reverse circulation drilling, completing Phase One,
Phase Two and Phase 2.5 of our current drilling program. During the Phase 1
drilling program the Company participated in a multi-agency test program of the
NITON pXRF. The handheld device is purportedly capable of analyzing an ore
sample and providing an immediate analysis of all minerals present above an
atomic weight of 12. Certified assay results from the labs of samples taken
during the Phase 1 and 2 drilling program and the preliminary results produced
by the NITON pXRF were compared. The comparison was inconclusive regarding the
usefulness of the device in exploration activities. The Company is not
conducting mineral extraction operations on this property yet.
Regarding
the Picacho Salton Project Claims Groups in the Mesquite Mining District of
Imperial County: On November 1, 2006 USCorp announced the acquisition of what we
then referred to as the “Picacho Salton Mining Property”, through its wholly
owned subsidiary Southwest. Situated on approximately 4,600 acres covering 124
mining claims of precious metal properties and located in the Mesquite Mining
District of Imperial County, California, some of these newly acquired claims
have common borders to USCorp’s Picacho Gold Property. The Company’s California
properties are now collectively known as the Picacho Salton Project. The Company
has performed exploration work on the property. The Company relies on geological
work of experts performed by us and work performed by experts under prior
ownership in support of our early reports of the presence of gold and silver on
the property. Geological Support Services, LLC recently completed a feasibility
study that has mineralized material on the Picacho Salton Project. The Company
has completed archeological, environmental and ecological reports and submitted
a mining plan of operations to the Bureau of Land Management who is currently
reviewing the plan (see “Recent Developments”). There are no current mineral
extraction operations on this property. The proposed program is exploratory in
nature.
The
physical condition of the plant and equipment and the source of power utilized
with respect to each property.
At this
time there are no physical plants on any of the Company’s properties. The
Company owns rights to water on the Santa Maria River which traverses the Twin
Peaks Project property. Power is available on properties adjacent to the Twin
Peaks Project and portable generators can be used as necessary. Power is also
available on properties adjacent to our placer claims in California and portable
generators can be used when necessary. There are natural wells located in
several places on our California claims. We will supplement well water with
trucked water if necessary.
Adequate
roads exist to each of our claims groups. Some existing roads have been repaired
or extended.
A
brief description of the rock formations and mineralization of existing or
potential economic significance on the properties, including the identity of the
principal metallic or other constituents.
In
regards to the Twin Peaks Project, past geologic valuations have been confirmed
by recent geological work as reported in Geological Support Services’
feasibility study on the project indicating mineralized material on claims
within the boundaries of the Twin Peaks on the Crosby claims, Hayes claims and
Gloryhole claims. The Company uses these historical and current reports in
support of its determination that economically viable mineralization is present
on the properties.
According
to past geologic valuations the Crosby claims are within an area of banded gray
schist that is surrounded by light-colored granite and intruded by pegmatite,
rhyolite-porphyry, and basic dikes. The vein strikes N10E, and dips 25 to 30
degrees E, and attains a width of up to 18 inches in the old workings. Rich ore
from the oxidized zone shows brecciated quartz with abundant cellular limonite.
The gold is usually found associated with the oxidized iron minerals. The Hayes
and Gloryhole claims are geologically similar to the Crosby claims, and the gold
is also found in association with the oxidized iron minerals. Several structural
zones appear to control the mineralization within the claim group. It can be
considered that an alignment of a structural trend exists, with a bearing of
about N2OE between the Hayes Mine and the Crosby Mine, with the Swiss Belle Mine
at midway along the trend. Another structural zone which is expressed by a dike
and is reported to run from the Santa Maria River to the base of Hayes Peak, has
an average bearing of about N53W. The Hayes Shaft was sunk within this dike. The
dike probably passes slightly west of the Gloryhole Mine and then intersects a
N2OE structural zone near the base of Hayes Peak. A sample taken at this
intersection assayed 1.167 oz/ton gold and 66.37 oz/ton silver. The structural
zones seem to influence wide areas adjacent to them, which is confirmed by the
voluminous number of favorable assays and also by the Very Low Frequency
Electromagnetic survey. Cut off grade valuations were not
performed.
Picacho
Salton Project Claims Groups in the Mesquite Mining District of Imperial County:
A past geochemical sampling program has indicated mineralized material at the
Goldstar placer claims; tonnage and grade valuations were not performed. The
Company used such reports in support of its determination that economically
viable mineralization may be present on the properties as stated in various
historical reports. Geological Support Services, LLC recently completed a
feasibility study that has identified mineralized material on the Picacho Salton
Project.
Geological
Support Services, LLC completed a feasibility study in 2007 on the Twin Peaks
Project that identified mineralized material. We have submitted a Mining Plan of
Operations to the Bureau of Land Management, and progress has been toward
approving our MPO. (See “Recent Developments”).
The
phased nature of the exploration process, and the place in the process our
current exploration activities occupy.
Phase 1
of the exploration process has been completed on a portion of the Hayes group of
claims within the Twin Peaks Project. Phase I supplemented the previous
exploration effort with additional geological, geochemical and geophysical
surveys, drilling, excavations and road building. We also completed a scoping
study. Phase I was designed to furnish pertinent data for the design of Phase II
Mining Operation Plan.
Phase II
has been completed as of the date of this Annual Report. We have done further
exploration on our property, and designed a Test Production program on selected
claims within the Twin Peaks claims group which we plan to initiate as soon as
approvals and financing have been obtained. This will include an electromagnetic
flyover of the entire claim group and completion of a geochemical survey using
the boundaries of individual claims to establish a base grid. This sample grid
would be tightened in select areas. Simultaneously, the geology will be mapped
in order to determine the overall extent of pathfinder mineralization for use in
planning additional drilling, gaining a more detailed understanding of the
potential of the entire site, and solidifying the mineral land
position.
In August
2008 we commenced with drilling and assaying in the areas previously targeted in
prior geological reports. The drilling program was designed to confirm the
geology and mineralization in the target areas; a broad program is not necessary
due to prior geological work. Extra samples have been retained for metallurgical
testing on promising zones.
The
results of testing the samples has allowed us to plan the conceptual mine and
milling plans, including flow-sheets that were used in the feasibility study
process along with the on-going economic and cost modeling evaluation of the
project. While the results were being evaluated we completed the collection of
the archeological and environmental data necessary for further exploration, We
submitted the Mining Plans of Operations and we received approvals. Phases 1, 2
and 2.5 of the 3-phase drilling plan have been completed. (see “Recent
Developments”). We are seeking additional funding in order to complete the third
phase of the drilling program that will allow new resource estimates to be
formed based on new measurements.
Test
Production Program Budget and Plan
We have
plans for Test Production in order to perfect the methods to be used in
commercial scale heap leach mining. We have received a Test Production plan and
budget for the Picacho Salton Project Claims in the Mesquite Mining District of
Imperial County from one of our Consulting Geologists that is summarized as
follows:
“To start
placer testing operations we must first purchase and modify a wash plant. The
pad and setup of the wash plant is next.
The dirt
access road from the Highway to the site (approximately 2 miles) must be
reworked or repaired. We will also need a Front End Loader (“F.E.L.”) with
Back-Hoe attachment. For continuous hard work excavating trenches, digging test
pits and carrying alluvial material back to the wash plant for processing on a
daily basis. It would be used for the duration of the test production
program.
The
sampling method is standard in geological exploration and is confined to dry
arroyo drainages and rills. Grab samples taken outside of the dry river beds and
rills will be by prospectors pick or regular pick and shovel. Instruments to be
used will be a VLF unit, an EM unit, microscopes, spectrometer, GPS unit,
possibly an I.R. unit, a magnetometer and miscellaneous sieves. A 10 or 12 kW
generator set will independently power the night lights and camper unit. We need
to determine if the present wells go down a minimum of 400 feet to reach
adequate water supply to support test production wash plant.
We will
make a decision whether to proceed with each successive phase of the exploration
program upon completion of the previous phase and upon analysis of the results
of that program.
We will
follow QA/QC protocols provided by the Society for Mining, Metallurgy and
Exploration Guidance on best practices for Exploration
www.smenet.org.”
Recent
Initial Exploration and Exploitation
Although
many companies and individuals are engaged in the mining business, including
large established mining companies, there is a limited supply of desirable
mineral lands available for claim staking, lease, or other acquisition in the
United States and other areas where USCorp contemplates conducting its
exploration and/or production activities. However, it has been determined by
qualified geologists and mining companies that USCorp’s Arizona properties have
mineralization of a variety of precious and non-precious minerals. Historically,
the specific geographic region in which USCorp intends to conduct its
exploratory and mining activities has been the subject of various general
samplings, which were performed by the State of Arizona, the United States
Department of the Interior Bureau of Mines, and the United States Department of
the Interior Bureau of Land Management.
The
Company has relied upon a number of studies by companies that are not presently
affiliated or associated with USCorp to determine the feasibility and valuation
of USCorp’s pursuit to develop the Mining Claims. These studies are comprised of
several exploration techniques, such as geological and geophysical surveys,
drilling, and excavations, in order to determine the economic potential, and
subsequent exploration and mining, of the Claims. These different firms have
utilized varied means to calculate the potential of the exploration and
development of the Twin Peaks Project’s Mining Claims.
Early
Exploration Conducted and Valuations.
The Twin
Peaks Project: Past geological studies indicate that beginning in 1981 a
geologist performed certain exploratory drillings in order to obtain samples of
the contents from the Crosby Mine Site No. 6, located Yavapai County, Arizona
(one of the claims in USMetals’ Twin Peaks Project). The geologist drilled 28
core drill holes on the Crosby Mine site. His report was based on 200-foot depth
cores. This area was 18,519 cubic yards, or approximately 20,000 tons of
mineralized material. The total area that was drilled was 1,500’ x 600’ x 200’.
A total of 744 core samples were taken from the 6,000-foot of core hole
drillings. The samples were assayed for gold and silver.
The
results indicated the presence of mineralization of gold and silver. The core
samples also revealed quartz monzonite porphyry formations throughout the area
of sampling. The many faults located in this area were of considerable
importance in controlling supergene enrichment; the largest quantity and highest
grade of ore occurs when these faults intersect or are closely spaced. There was
significant evidence of this enrichment recorded from the samples taken from the
Crosby Mine site area. And, the gold and silver that was found is natural to the
formations of the enrichment zone.
Recent
Exploration and Samplings
The 2008
geological surveys, provided by Geological Support Services, LLC, one of
USMetals’ principal advisors have confirmed prior geological reports. It was
verified that the Twin Peaks Project is on a mineralized structure and flat zone
with gold and silver carrying mineralization.
Historically,
over 10,000 feet of core drillings were performed and over 1,500 fire assays
were conducted. These assays showed an overall average of .14 ounces of gold per
ton and .595 ounces of silver per ton, on one area covering 3
claims.
The
geological, geophysical, and geochemical studies stated above were reviewed and
evaluated by an independent mining, consulting, and geologic firm that was
engaged to evaluate the commercial feasibility of the claims. The report and
economic study recommended the continuation of exploration and the start of
production.
The
geological justification for the exploration project at the Twin Peaks Project
is that numerous past geological studies have found gold and silver
mineralization in economically viable quantities at various locations within the
boundaries of the claims group. There are also areas within the claims group
that contain uranium and areas containing polymetals.
The
geological justification for the exploration project at the Picacho Salton
Project claims is that there is visible gold in the ground and past geological
studies have found gold and silver in economically viable quantities at various
locations within the boundaries of the claims groups.
In 2007
we conducted additional exploration, testing; GPS locating, surveying and
re-staking of all claims; adding a total of 77 significant claims to the group
of which 70 claims are primarily gold bearing and seven claims, approximately
140 acres, are Pink Rhyolite (decorative rock) and construction grade aggregate.
Geological Support Services LLC completed a feasibility study covering the gold
claims, it says: “The feasibility study operating plan assumes an open caste
quarry type operation containing [mineralized material]. The plan anticipates
conventional truck and shovel mining techniques. Processing to be phased
according to ore type and permit approvals. Phase 1 testing being a wash and
sedimentation gravity system with initial production capacity of 1000 tons per
day ramping to 6000 tons per day. This type of operation has been proven to
achieve .02 ounce per ton recovery, in the targeted placers. With approval of
cyanide leach permits, the implementation of leaching facilities will increase
recovery to the 87% target. Also along with the construction of the leaching
facilities, the milling circuit for processing the hard rock lode ore will be
constructed. This grinding circuit will be designed to crush incoming hard rock
down to 150- prior to gravity Separation and leaching. Although this study is
based upon production of 6000 tons a day it is anticipated that if additional
water resources are developed production could be increased to greater levels.
Mine life has been estimated to be in excess of 20 years. The feasibility study
assumes an economic base case utilizing a $600 per ounce gold price. At current
fuel and labor prices, cash operating costs, including operating cost and
sustaining capital are estimated to be $260 dollars per ounce of gold produced.
Initial capital costs are anticipated to be $13,790,300 all amounts are in U.S.
Dollars.”
A
breakdown of the exploration timetable and budget, including estimated amounts
that will be required for each exploration activity.
The
exploration timetable and budget for the Twin Peaks Project is as
follows:
Initial
capital costs are currently estimated to be $12,974,728. All amounts are in US
dollars to complete a comprehensive drilling program, road repair and
extensions, design and building of a test mill of 50 to 1,000 tons per day
capacity. The estimate of six month time period is an estimate of time need to
perform tasks only and does not take into account delays for governmental review
and approval of our mining plan.
The
exploration timetable and budget for the Picacho Salton Project claims is as
follows:
Initial
capital costs are anticipated to be $13,790,300 all amounts are in U.S. Dollars
to complete an electromagnetic flyover, comprehensive road repair and
extensions, design and purchase of a wash plant of 10 tons per hour capacity.
The estimate of twelve week time period is an estimate of time needed to perform
tasks only and does not take into account delays for governmental review and
approval of our mining plan. At current fuel and labor prices, cash operating
costs, including operating cost and sustaining capital are estimated to be $260
dollars per ounce of gold produced.
How
the exploration program will be funded.
The
Company anticipates that funding will be by equity or debt financing in the form
of private placements, working interest joint venture, farm outs, sale or
mergers, and/or gold bullion loans in the United States, Europe and Asia. To
date we have received the proceeds from a gold bullion loan in the amount of
$635,000 as previously reported in Current Report on Form 8-K dated September
27, 2005, in addition to proceeds from a private placement and $1,200,000 in
proceeds from convertible debentures. At the beginning of fiscal 2009 we
received a commitment in the amount of $2.19 million to finance fiscal 2009
operations. During fiscal 2009 the Company received $400,000 of the $2.19
million in commitments for 2009. The December 2008 payment was not received. We
believe that due to the 2008 global financial meltdown the Company did not
receive the rest of the committed funds for 2009. We continue to pursue
additional sources of financing. (see “Recent Developments”)
Identification
of who will be conducting any proposed exploration work, and a discussion of
their qualifications.
The
Company is utilizing the services of Geological Support Services, LLC, and
Wondjina Research Institute and Biozone, Inc., for exploration and geological
work on the Company’s properties. Given adequate financing we intend to use
additional qualified mining consultants and engineers subject to their
availability and willingness and our need, but we have not contracted with any
other vendors as of the date of this Annual Report. A summary of the
qualifications of Geological Support Services, LLC follows:
Geological
Support Services, LLC, Robert A. Cameron, Ph.D. managing partner, is consulting
exploration geologist to the Company. Cameron has a Ph.D. in Geophysics from
Canterbury University. Since 1987 Cameron has consulted in the mining industry
as a geologist in various capacities for companies and projects in the private
sector in the United States, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, West Germany,
Poland and Canada. In addition to private consulting, he was a professor of
geology and geosciences.
Specific
Environmental Regulation.
Mining is
subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the
environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral
exploration and production. Environmental liability may result from mining
activities conducted by others prior to USMetals’ ownership of a property.
Insurance for environmental risks (including potential liability for pollution
or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from
exploration and production) is not generally available at a reasonable price to
companies within the industry. To the extent USMetals is subject to
environmental liabilities, the payment of such liabilities would reduce funds
otherwise available to USMetals and could have a material adverse effect on
USMetals.
In the
context of environmental compliance and permitting, including the approval of
reclamation plans, USMetals must comply with standards, laws and regulations
which may entail greater or lesser costs and delays depending on the nature of
the activity to be permitted, constructed and operated and how stringently the
regulations are implemented by the applicable regulatory authority. It is
possible that the costs and delays associated with compliance with such laws,
regulations and permits could become such that a company would not proceed with
the development of a project or the operation or further development of a mine.
Laws, regulations and regulatory policies involving the protection and
remediation of the environment are constantly changing at all levels of
government and are generally becoming more restrictive and the costs imposed on
the development and operation of mineral properties are increasing as a result
of such changes. USMetals has made, and expects to make in the future,
significant expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations.
The
Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) continues the
development of a solid waste regulatory program specific to mining operations
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”). The difficulty is
that many Federal laws duplicate existing state regulations.
Mining
companies in the United States are also subject to regulations under (i) the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980
(“CERCLA”) which
regulates and establishes liability for the release of hazardous substances and
(ii) the Endangered Species Act (“ESA”) which identifies
endangered species of plants and animals and regulates activities to protect
these species and their habitats. Revisions to CERCLA and ESA are being
considered by Congress; the impact on USMetals and Southwest of these revisions
is not clear at this time. Environmental laws and regulations enacted and
adopted in the future may have a significant impact upon USMetals’ future
operations.
Reclamation
plans which are approved by various environmental regulatory authorities are
subject to on-going review and modification. Although USMetals’ and Southwest’s
management believes that the reclamation plans developed and implemented for its
mine sites are reasonable under current conditions, any future re-determination
of reclamation conditions or requirements could significantly increase USMetals’
and Southwest’s costs of implementation of such plans.
USCorp
expects to utilize “green” methods as much as possible beyond those required by
existing environmental rules and regulations. We are exploring using wind and
solar power to supplement our energy requirements; captured rainwater in order
to reduce use of ground water and water that may have to be trucked in; solar
powered conveyor belts to transport ore for processing, green fuels for
vehicles, and other environment-friendly technologies that have been recently
developed. USCorp principals have had preliminary discussions with international
providers of such services that have been field testing the latest “green”
technologies in African mines and other locations.
Competition.
There is
aggressive competition within the minerals industry to discover and acquire
properties considered to have commercial potential. USMetals will compete for
promising gold exploration projects with other entities, many of which have
greater financial and other resources than USMetals. In addition, USMetals will
compete with other firms in its efforts to obtain financing to explore and
develop mineral properties including the claims it already owns. Further, the
mining industry is typified by companies with significantly greater financial
resources and market recognition than the Company. At present, the Company is
not a significant factor within this industry.
Employees
and Independent Contractors.
As of the
date of this Annual Report, the Company did not employ any persons other than
its executive officers an Administrative Assistant, and occasional clerical
help. Administrative and clerical employees were laid off at the beginning of
May, 2009 and have not been re-hired.
As of the
date of this Annual Report, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries have
utilized as principal consultant and advisor: Geological Support Services, LLC
under Robert Cameron, PhD; which, in turn, may work with subcontractors that
perform work indirectly for the Company and its subsidiaries; and a secondary
consultant and advisor, Wondjina Research Institute under Rich Lundin which, in
turn, may work with subcontractors that perform work indirectly for the Company
and its subsidiaries. Independent contractors include Harris Drilling and Boart
Longyear Drilling.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
Lack of Operating History and
Earnings. The Company has no operating history or revenues. The Company
expects to incur further losses in the foreseeable future due to significant
costs associated with its business development, and the business development of
its subsidiaries, including costs associated with its acquisition of new mining
claims and/or operations. There can be no assurance that The Company’s
operations will ever generate sufficient revenues to fund its continuing
operations that The Company will ever generate positive cash flow from its
operations, or that The Company will attain or thereafter sustain profitability
in any future period.
Speculative Nature of The Company’s
Proposed Operations; Dependence Upon Management. The success of The
Company’s operations, independently and through its subsidiaries, and its
proposed plan of operation will depend largely on the operations, financial
condition, and management of The Company. While management intends to engage in
the business purposes stated herein, there can be no assurance that it, or any
of its subsidiaries, will be successful in conducting such business. Presently,
the Company is totally dependent upon the personal efforts of its current
management. The loss of any officer or director of The Company could have a
material adverse effect upon its business and future prospects. The Company does
not presently have key-man life insurance upon the life of any of its officers
or directors. None of our management are chemists, metallurgists, mining
engineers or geologists and as such do not have the technical experience in
exploring for, starting, and/or operating a mine. Upon adequate funding
management intends to hire qualified and experienced personnel, including
additional officers and directors, and mining specialists, professionals and
consulting firms to advise management as needed; however there can be no
assurance that management will be successful in raising the necessary funds,
recruiting, hiring and retaining such qualified individuals. Such consultants
have no fiduciary duty to The Company or its shareholders, and may not perform
as expected. The success of The Company will, in significant part, depend upon
the efforts and abilities of management, including such consultants as are or
may be engaged in the future.
Risks Inherent In Exploration and
Mining Operations. Mineral exploration is highly speculative and capital
intensive. Most exploration efforts are not successful, in that they do not
result in the discovery of mineralization of sufficient quantity or quality to
be profitably mined. The Company’s Mining Claims are also indirectly subject to
all hazards and risks normally incidental to developing and operating mining
properties. These risks include insufficient ore reserves, fluctuations in
production costs that may make mining of reserves uneconomic; significant
environmental and other regulatory restrictions; and the risks of injury to
persons, property or the environment. In particular, the profitability of gold
mining operations is directly related to the price of gold. The price of gold
fluctuates widely and is affected by numerous factors that are beyond the
control of any mining company. These factors include expectations with respect
to the rate of inflation, the exchange rates of the dollar and other currencies,
interest rates, global or regional political, economic or banking crises, and a
number of other factors. If the price of gold should drop dramatically, the
value of the Mining Claims could also drop dramatically, and the Company might
then be unable to recover its investment in those interests or properties.
Selection of a property for exploration or development; the determination to
construct a mine and to place it into production, and the dedication of funds
necessary to achieve such purposes, are decisions that must be made long before
the first revenues from production will be received. Price fluctuations between
the time that such decisions are made and the commencement of production can
drastically affect the economics of a mine. The volatility of gold prices
represents a substantial risk, generally, which no amount of planning or
technical expertise can eliminate.
Uncertainty of Reserves and
Mineralization Estimates. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in
estimating proven and probable reserves and mineralization, including many
factors beyond The Company’s control. The estimation of reserves and
mineralization is a subjective process and the accuracy of any such estimates is
a function of the quality of available data and of engineering and geological
interpretation and judgment. Results of drilling, metallurgical testing and
production and the evaluation of mine plans subsequent to the date of any
estimate may justify revision of such estimates. No assurances can be given that
the volume and grade of reserves recovered and rates of production will not be
less than anticipated. Assumptions about prices are subject to great uncertainty
and gold prices have fluctuated widely in the past. Declines in the market price
of gold or other precious metals also may render reserves or mineralization
containing relatively lower grades of ore uneconomic to exploit. Changes in
operating and capital costs and other factors including, but not limited to,
short-term operating factors such as the need for sequential development of ore
bodies and the processing of new or different ore grades, may materially and
adversely affect reserves.
Environmental Risks. Mining is
subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the
environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral
exploration and production. Insurance against environmental risks (including
potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal
of waste products occurring from exploration and production) is not generally
available to The Company (or to other companies within the gold industry) at a
reasonable price. To the extent The Company becomes subject to environmental
liabilities, the satisfaction of any such liabilities would reduce funds
otherwise available and could have a material adverse effect on The Company.
Laws and regulations intended to ensure the protection of the environment are
constantly changing, and are generally becoming more restrictive.
Proposed Federal Legislation.
Beginning in the 1990s, the U.S. Congress adopted revisions of the
General Mining Law of 1872, which governs the creation of mining claims and
related activities on Federal public lands in the United States. Similarly, the
U. S. Congress and the Clinton Administration eliminated the U.S. Bureau of
Mines, which was the agency responsible for gathering and maintaining data on
mines throughout the United States. Beyond changes to the existing laws, the
Congress or the Bush Administration, or the incoming Obama Administration may
propose or adopt new laws; any such revisions could also impair USMetals’ and
Southwest’s ability to develop, in the future, any mineral prospects that are
located on unpatented mining claims on Federal lands.
Title to Properties. The
validity of unpatented mining claims, which constitute all of The Company’s
property holdings, is often uncertain and such validity is always subject to
contest. Unpatented mining claims are unique property interests and are
generally considered subject to greater title risks than patented mining claims,
or other real property interests that are owned in fee simple. The Company has
not filed any patent applications for any of its properties that are located on
Federal public lands in the United States, (specifically, in the States of
Arizona and California), and, under changes to the General Mining Law, patents
may not be available for such properties. Although management believes it has
taken requisite action to acquire satisfactory title to its undeveloped
properties, it does not intend to go to the expense to obtain title opinions
until financing is secured to develop the property, with the attendant risk that
title to some properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties, may be
defective.
Competition. There is
aggressive competition within the minerals industry to discover and acquire
properties considered to have commercial potential. The Company will compete for
promising gold exploration projects with other entities, many of which have
greater financial and other resources than The Company. In addition, the Company
will compete with other firms in its efforts to obtain financing to explore and
develop mineral properties.
The Company’s Financial Statements
Contain a “Going Concern Qualification.” The Company may not be able to
operate as a going concern. The independent auditors’ report accompanying its
financial statements contains an explanation that The Company’s financial
statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern.
Note 1 to these financial statements indicates that The Company is in the
exploration stage and needs additional funds to implement its plan of
operations. This condition raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The
Company’s audit report and financial statements are included herein as “PART II,
Item 7”.
Uncertainty As To Management’s
Ability To Control Costs And Expenses. With respect to The Company’s
development of its mining properties and the implementation of commercial
operations, management cannot accurately project or give any assurance, with
respect to its ability to control development and operating costs and/or
expenses. Consequently, if management is not able to adequately control costs
and expenses, such operations may not generate any profit or may result in
operating losses.
No Dividends. The Company has
not paid any dividends nor, by reason of its present financial status and
contemplated financial requirements, does it anticipate paying any dividends in
the foreseeable future.
Risks of Low-Priced Stocks And
Possible Effect of “Penny Stock” Rules on Liquidity. Currently the
Company’s stock is defined as a “penny stock” under Rule 3a51-1 adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. In general, a “penny stock” includes securities of companies which are
not listed on the principal stock exchanges or the National Association of
Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) or National Market
System (“NASDAQ NMS”) and have a bid price in the market of less than $5.00; and
companies with net tangible assets of less than $2,000,000 ($5,000,000 if the
issuer has been in continuous operation for less than three years), or which has
recorded revenues of less than $6,000,000 in the last three years. “Penny
stocks” are subject to rule 15g-9, which imposes additional sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers that sell such securities to persons other than
established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with
net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000, or
$300,000 together with their spouses, or individuals who are officers or
directors of the issuer of the securities). For transactions covered by Rule
15g-9, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the
purchaser and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction
prior to sale. Consequently, this rule may adversely affect the ability of
broker-dealers to sell The Company’s stock, and therefore, may adversely affect
the ability of The Company’s stockholders to sell stock in the public
market.
Shares Eligible for Future
Sale. A total of 135,955,389
shares of Voting Class A Common Stock are issued and outstanding as of
the date of this Annual Report, of which approximately 107,328,571
shares thereof are “restricted securities” as that term is defined under the
Securities Act. Therefore, all such restricted shares must be held indefinitely
unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from
registration becomes available. One exemption that may be available in the
future is Rule 144 adopted under the Securities Act. Generally, under Rule 144
any person holding restricted securities for at least one year may publicly sell
in ordinary brokerage transactions, within a 3 month period, the greater of one
(1%) percent of the total number of a company’s shares outstanding or the
average weekly reported volume during the four weeks preceding the sale, if
certain conditions of Rule 144 are satisfied by the company and the seller.
Furthermore, with respect to sellers who are “non-affiliates” of the company, as
that term is defined in Rule 144, the volume sale limitation does not apply and
an unlimited number of shares may be sold, provided the seller meets a holding
period of 2 years. However, the SEC revised Rule 144, effective February 15,
2008, which shortens the holding period to six months in some cases and remove
the volume restrictions for any such sales. Sales under Rule 144 may have a
depressive effect on the market price of The Company’s securities, should a
public market be available for The Company’s shares.

requirements or in the mining industry, (v) changes in the Company’s business
strategy or an inability to execute its strategy due to unanticipated changes in
the market, (vi) various competitive factors that may prevent the Company from
competing successfully in the marketplace, and (ix) the Company’s lack of
liquidity and its ability to raise additional capital. In light of these risks
and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that actual results, performance or
achievements of the Company will not differ materially from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking

OVERVIEW
The
Company is an “exploration stage” company. During fiscal year ended September
30, 2010, the Company’s activities centered on the exploration of USMetals’
mining property known as the Twin Peaks Project in the Eureka Mining District of
Yavapai County, Arizona, the exploration of the Picacho Salton Project Claims in
the Mesquite Mining District of Imperial County, California. During the fiscal
year, the Company did not engage in any commercially viable operations and
realized no revenues from its activities. The annual costs incurred to date were
primarily for the continued exploration of the Company’s mining properties,
expansion and maintenance of the Company’s website, legal and accounting costs
in conjunction with the Company’s general and administrative expenses in
anticipation of completing exploration and commencing a test production program
on the Company’s mining properties. The annual maintenance fee payment for the
296 claims owned by the Company is $140 per claim for a total annual cost of
$41,440.
All of
the Company’s mining claims are owned by its subsidiaries, USMetals, Inc. and
Southwest Resource Development, Inc. Geological Support Services, LLC, has
agreed to continue to supervise and direct the work of the Twin Peaks Project
Team through completion of permitting.
The
Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, USMetals, owns 172 unpatented
contiguous mining claims totaling 3,440 acres in the Eureka Mining District of
Yavapai County, Arizona. These claims have a history of mining activity from the
middle of the 19th century to the beginning of World War II. Gold, silver,
copper and other minerals were recovered. The previous owners started
acquisition of this claim group in the early 1940s and by the mid-1980s the
claims group totaled 134 claims. Exploration, drilling and assessment work was
done and several geological reports were completed indicating the presence of
economically viable deposits of precious metals and complex ores.
In 2007
and 2008 we conducted exploration, testing, GPS surveying and re-staking of all
claims, and completed Phases 1, 2 and 2.5 of a 3-phase drilling program; and in
2009 we added 36 claims to the group (see “Recent Developments”). In 2007 a
feasibility study and technical report were prepared by Geological Support
Services, LLC, which stated in part: “The feasibility study operating plan
assumes an open cast quarry type operation containing [mineralized material].
The project anticipates utilizing conventional truck and shovel mining methods
with the processing of ore at full production of 800 tons per day for the first
year, yielding an annual production of 34,748 oz. of gold and 126,000 oz. of
silver the first year. Estimated mine life is 12.9 years. Production levels (and
mine life) will increase as proven reserve amounts increase. The feasibility
study assumes an economic base case, utilizing $600 per ounce gold and $12 per
ounce silver. At such prices cash operating costs, including operating costs and
initial sustaining capital are estimated at $250 dollars per ounce of gold.
Initial capital costs are currently estimated to be $12,974,728. All amounts are
in US dollars.” As of December 22, 2010 gold is $1,390 per ounce and silver is
$29.33 per ounce. We believe the production 2007 cost estimates are still
valid.
The
Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Southwest Resource development,
Inc., (“Southwest”) owns 124 unpatented lode and placer mining claims totaling
approximately 4,600 acres in the Mesquite Mining District of eastern Imperial
County, California which the Company refers to as the Picacho Salton Project
Claims. These claims and the surrounding Mesquite Mining District have a history
of mining activity going back almost 200 years. The majority or most of the
exploration, drilling and assessment work at the Picacho Salton Project Claims
in the Mesquite Mining District of Imperial County, was done and geological
reports were completed by prior owners in the 1980s and indicated at that time
the presence of economically viable deposits of precious metals.
In 2008
we conducted additional exploration, testing, GPS surveying and re-staking of
all claims, and added a total of 77 claims to the group of which 70 claims are
primarily gold bearing and seven claims, approximately 140 acres, are Pink
Rhyolite (decorative rock) and construction grade aggregate. Geological Support
Services LLC completed a feasibility study covering the gold claims, it says in
part: “The feasibility study operating plan assumes an open caste quarry type
operation containing [mineralized material]. The plan anticipates conventional
truck and shovel mining techniques. Processing will be phased according to ore
type and permit approvals. Phase 1 being a wash and sedimentation gravity system
with initial production capacity of 1,000 tons per day ramping to 6,000 tons per
day. This type of operation has been proven to achieve .02 ounce per ton
recovery, in the targeted placers. With approval of cyanide leach permits, the
implementation of leaching facilities will increase recovery to the 87% target.
Also along with the construction of the leaching facilities, the milling circuit
for processing the hard rock lode ore will be constructed. This grinding circuit
will be designed to crush incoming hard rock down to 150- prior to gravity
separation and leaching. Although this study is based on production of 6,000
tons a day it is anticipated that if additional water resources are developed
production could be increased to greater levels. Mine life is estimated to be in
excess of 20 years. The feasibility study assumes an economic base case
utilizing a $600 per ounce gold price. At current fuel and labor prices, cash
operating costs, including operating cost and sustaining capital are estimated
to be $260 dollars per ounce of gold produced. Initial capital costs are
anticipated to be $13,790,300 all amounts are in U.S. Dollars.” Additional
reserves are expected to be developed, extending the maximum life of the mine.
As of late December 2010 gold is $1,390 per ounce and silver is $29.33 per
ounce. We believe the production 2008 cost estimates are still
valid.
Impairment
Expense
We
acquired the Twin Peaks Project asset in 2002 and have been conducting
exploration work on it, with the goal of commencing mineral production, for
seven years. Exploration activities have confirmed the presence of
mineralization on this property. However, we have not commenced mining
activities due to a lack of funding. Consequently, per our accounting policy
regarding impairment charges, we decided to impair this asset and take it off
the balance sheet. However, we are still aggressively pursuing the financing
necessary to proceed with our plans to commence mining activity now that we have
completed a feasibility study on the property and Phase One and Phase Two of our
drilling program. The feasibility study prepared by Geological Support Services,
LLC, stated in part: “The feasibility study operating plan assumes an open cast
quarry type operation containing [mineralized material].”
I.
Results of Operations
Comparison
of operating results.
The
Company has not yet commenced commercial operations and has had no revenues from
operations.
General
and administrative expense for fiscal 2010 was $912,984 compared to $947,229 for
last year, a decrease of approximately 4%. The main area of decrease was in
administrative and professional fees, while consulting costs increased.
Administration expenses decreased ($237,174 for fiscal 2010 compared to $492,179
last year). The decrease in administrative expenses was due to the decrease in
salaries and space rental costs. Consulting costs increased from $342,847 in
fiscal 2009 to $638,400; the increase was due primarily to the cost of
developing funding sources and hiring clerical and professional help on an
as-needed basis.
As a
result of general and administrative costs, the Company experienced a net loss
from operations of $912,984 for the year ended September 30, 2010 compared to
loss from operations of $1,293,237 for the year ended September 30,
2009.
After
interest expense in fiscal 2010 of $116,593, compared to $209,937 in the prior
year, the Company realized a net loss for fiscal 2010 of $1,724,669 as compared
to a net loss of $1,291,843 for the prior fiscal year. This loss translated into
a loss of $.02 per share for fiscal 2010, compared to a loss of $.02 per share
for fiscal 2009.
II.
Discussion of Financial Condition: Liquidity and Capital Resources
At
September 30, 2010 cash on hand was $354,019 as compared with $18,527 at
September 30, 2009. The Company received services in the aggregate amount of
$292,291 through the
issuance of additional 8,778,566 shares of common stock. See, “Recent Sales of Unregistered
Securities” above.
The
Company used these cash proceeds to pay for its business
operations.
Total
assets at September 30, 2010 were $354,395 as compared to $19,557 at September
30, 2009.
The
Company’s total stockholders’ equity changed to -$3,023,322 at September 30,
2010 from -$2,602,692 at September 30, 2009. The increase in the deficit of
total stockholders’ equity was due to the loss from operations and the issuance
of shares for services rendered.
We may
consider a private placement for royalties or working interest to raise funds
for operations and continued exploration and development programs.
Regarding
regulatory issues, the Company is subject to the following:
|
1.
|
The securities laws, regulations
and rules of the United States because we are a public corporation and
because our Class A Common stock trades on the over-the-counter bulletin
board;
|
|
2.
|
Nevada corporation and business
statues because we are a Nevada
corporation;
|
|
3.
|
Bureau of Land Management
policies, rules and regulations because our mining claims are located on
U.S. Federal government Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land
Management land;
|
|
4.
|
Federal Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Land Management regulators in California
and
|
|
5.
|
Federal Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Land Management regulators in
Arizona.
|
As of the
date of this report the company intends to file its first quarter of fiscal 2011
report on form 10-Q for October 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 with the SEC. In
the event that enough additional money for operations is not received the
Company may discontinue filing with the SEC due to the relatively high costs in
terms of money and legal, accounting, clerical and administrative man-hours of
preparing these reports and being a fully reporting company. In that event we
expect our Class A common stock to be disqualified from trading on the OTCBB,
and that in turn could disqualify our Class A and Class B shares from trading in
Germany on the Deutche Boerse exchanges. We expect our Class A common shares
would continue trading in the United States on the OTC Markets
Pink Sheets.
Impact
of Inflation
The
general level of inflation has been relatively low during the last several
fiscal years and has not had a significant impact on the Company.

Management's
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The
management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over
financial reporting is defined in Rules 13-a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the
Company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by
the Company's board of directors, management and other personnel to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and
procedures that:
* pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Company;
* provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are
being made only in accordance with authorization of management and directors of
the Company; and
* provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management
assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting as of September 30, 2010. In making this assessment, management used
the criteria established in "Internal Control-Integrated Framework," issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO).
Based on
this assessment, management believes that, as of September 30, 2010, the
Company's internal control over financial reporting is effective.
There
have not been any changes in the Company's internal control over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the
Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of USCorp.
We have
completed the audit of the consolidated financial statements of USCorp as of
September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 in accordance with the standards of
the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
We
conducted our audits 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
consolidated 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 audits 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 consolidated 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
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of USCorp at September 30, 2010 and September
30, 2009, and the results of its operations, cash flows, and changes in
shareholders’ equity for the years then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial
statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and negative cash flows
from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed
in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Organization
of the Company and Significant Accounting
Principles
|
USCorp
(the “Company”) is a publicly held corporation formed in May 1989 in the state
of Nevada. In April 2002 the Company acquired US Metals, Inc. (“USMetals”), a
Nevada corporation, by issuing 24,200,000 shares of common stock. US Metals
became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The
Company, through its subsidiary, owns the mineral rights to 172 Lode and Placer
Mining Claims in the Eureka Mining District of Yavapai County, Arizona, called
the Twin Peaks Project; and owns the mineral rights to 124 Lode and Placer
Claims on five properties in the Mesquite Mining District of Imperial County,
California, which the Company collectively refers to as the Picacho Salton
Project.
The
Company has no revenues to date and has defined itself as an “exploration stage”
company.
Exploration Stage Company-
the Company has no operations or revenues since its inception and therefore
qualifies for treatment as an Exploration Stage company as per the accounting
guidance. Financial transactions are accounted for as per generally
accepted accounted principles. Costs incurred during the development
stage are accumulated in “accumulated deficit- exploration stage” and are
reported in the Stockholders’ Deficit section of the balance sheet.
Consolidation- the
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
company and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant
inter-company balances have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates- The
preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make reasonable
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses at the date of the financial statements and for
the period they include. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
Cash and interest bearing
deposits- For the purpose of calculating changes in cash flows, cash
includes all cash balances and highly liquid short-term investments with an
original maturity of three months or less.
Long Lived Assets- The
Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future
cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual
disposition is less than its carrying amount.
Property and Equipment- Property and equipment are
stated at cost. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method
over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is estimated at three
years.
Income taxes- The Company
accounts for income taxes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles which requires an asset and liability approach to financial
accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets
and liabilities are computed annually for differences between financial
statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in
taxable income or deductible expenses in the future based on enacted tax laws
and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to
affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when
necessary to reduce deferred tax assets and liabilities to the amount expected
to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable
for the period adjusted for the change during the period in deferred tax assets
and liabilities.
The
Company follows the accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in
income taxes using the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
ASC 740, Income Taxes.
Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the
financial statements when it is more likely than not the positions will be
sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. It also provides
guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting
in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of September 30,
2010, the Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either
recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. All tax
returns from tax years 2006 to 2009 are subject to IRS audit.
Mineral Properties- Costs
incurred to acquire mineral interest in properties, to drill and equip
exploratory sites within the claims groups, to conduct exploration and assay
work are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition- Mineral
sales will result from undivided interests held by the Company in mineral
properties. Sales of minerals will be recognized when delivered to be picked up
by the purchaser. Mineral sales from marketing activities will result from sales
by the Company of minerals produced by the Company (or affiliated entities) and
will be recognized when delivered to purchasers. Mining revenues generated from
the Company’s day rate contracts, included in mine services revenue, will be
recognized as services are performed or delivered.
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements-In July 2010, new guidance was introduced which would
increase disclosures regarding the credit quality of an entity’s financing
receivables and its allowance for credit losses. In addition, the guidance would
require an entity to disclose credit quality indicators, past due information,
and modifications of its financing receivables. The adoption of this guidance
will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been presented in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, which assume the continuity of
the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has incurred
significant losses since its inception and has no revenues and continues to rely
on the issuance of shares and warrants to raise capital to fund its business
operations.
Management’s
plans with regard to this matter are as follows:
*
Continue fundraising efforts including joint-venture, merger, acquisition or
other business combinations whose purpose is development of the Company’s
California and Arizona properties by or with well-financed and highly
experienced miners.
*
Complete exploration and begin production on our properties as warranted. Phases
1 and 2 of our 3-phase drilling program have been completed. The California
Desert District BLM Office has completed review of our application and we are
awaiting approval. Other permits for commercial mining are being prepared and
reviewed for submission to Federal, State and local authorities.
* USCorp
plans to begin commercial scale operations on one or more of its properties as
soon as all of the required permits and approvals have been granted and funding
obtained. Due to the nature of the ore bodies of the Company’s current
properties Management expects to begin commercial scale operations on our
Picacho Salton Project first; then Management expects to begin commercial scale
operations on the Twin Peaks Project.
* With
adequate funding management intends to hire qualified and experienced personnel,
including additional officers and directors, and mining specialists,
professionals and consulting firms to advise management as needed to handle
mining operations, acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures and other business
combinations in order to fulfill our business plan regarding development of
existing and future mineral resource properties.
* Form a
strategic alliance of consultants, engineers, contractors and joint venture
partners with an information and communication network that allows the alliance
to function effectively.
* Acquire
additional properties and/or corporations with properties as subsidiaries to
advance the company's growth plans or be acquired by a company that fulfills
this.
* The
company has uploaded proprietary information about the company and our
properties to a secure section of our web site for the purpose of raising
additional capital in order to continue our exploration and development
efforts.
* USCorp
may choose to voluntarily delist from the OTC Bulletin Board and then trade on
the OTC Markets PinkSheets.
3.
Concentrations of Credit
The
Company heavily relies upon the efforts of the Company’s chief executive officer
and majority shareholder for the success of the Company. A withdrawal
of the chief executive’s officer efforts would have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s financial condition.
4.
Fair values of Financial Instruments
Cash,
accounts payable and accrued expenses, subscriptions payable, gold bullion loan
payable, convertible debentures payable and the advances payable to shareholder
in the balance sheet are estimated to approximate fair market value at September
30, 2010 and September 30, 2009.
5.
Gold Bullion Promissory Note
In
September 2005, the Company issued a promissory note to a shareholder and
received proceeds of $648,282. The note requires the Company to pay the
shareholder 1,634 ounces of Gold Bullion (.999 pure). Originally, the promissory
note came due in September 2007. In September 2007, the holder of the promissory
note agreed to extend the maturity date of the note to September
2009. In September 2009, the holder of the promissory note extended
the maturity date to January 2010 at the previous terms, and is extending the
maturity date on an informal ongoing basis. The loan is currently in default
however, the Company continues to calculate the loan at fair value.

Stock Incentive Plan
The
Company provides for a Stock Incentive Plan for its employees. The
plan provides for incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. The
Board of Directors will determine whether an option is an incentive stock option
or a non-qualified stock option when it grants the option and the option will be
evidenced by an agreement describing the material terms of the option. The Board
of Directors will determine the exercise price of an employee’s option at the
date of the grant. The exercise price of an incentive stock option may not be
less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant, or
less than 110% of the fair market value if the participant owns more than 10% of
the outstanding common stock. The Board of Directors will also determine the
term of an option at the date of the grant. The term of an incentive stock
option or non-qualified stock option may not exceed ten years from the date of
grant, but any incentive stock option granted to a participant who owns more
than 10% of the outstanding common stock will not be exercisable after the
expiration of five years after the date the option is granted. Subject to any
further limitations in the applicable agreement, if a participant’s employment
terminates, an incentive stock option will terminate and expire no later than
three months after the date of termination of employment.
Incentive
stock options are also subject to the further restriction that the aggregate
fair market value, determined as of the date of the grant, of the market value
of the common Stock as to which any incentive stock option first becomes
exercisable in any calendar year is limited to $100,000 per recipient. If
incentive stock options covering more than $100,000 worth of the common stock
first become exercisable in any one calendar year, the excess will be
non-qualified options. For purposes of determining which options, if any, have
been granted in excess of the $100,000 limit, options will be considered to
become exercisable in the order granted.

Net Loss per Share
The
Company applies ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” to
calculate loss per share. In accordance with ASC 260, basic net loss per share
has been computed based on the weighted average of common shares outstanding
during the years, adjusted for the financial instruments outstanding that are
convertible into common stock during the years. The effects of the common stock
options and the debentures convertible into shares of common stock, however,
have been excluded from the calculation of loss per share because their
inclusion would be anti-dilutive. Net loss per share is computed as

officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of its common
stock, to file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and each exchange (or market quotation system)
on which the Company’s securities are registered. Officers, directors and
greater than ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish
the Company with copies of all ownership forms they file.
Based
solely on current management’s review of the copies of such forms received by it

beneficial owners complied with all applicable filing requirements.
