COAL AND OTHER MINERAL PROPERTIES | The Company entered into a series of agreements to acquire all the mineral, oil and gas rights of a mineral property located in Judith Basin County, Montana for a total consideration of $2,670,500. Coal Agreement and Amendment On March 31, 2010, the Company, Future Gas Holdings, Ltd. (“Future Gas”) and JBM Energy Company, LLC (“JBM”) entered into an Assignment of Coal Agreement (“Assignment”) to transfer and assign all the rights and obligations of Future Gas to the Company to purchase all coal mineral rights owned by JBM under a Coal Buy and Sell Agreement (“Coal Agreement”) dated February 4, 2010. Pursuant to the Assignment and Coal Agreement, the Company paid in cash $150,000 to JBM and signed a 5% promissory note with a face value of $1,750,000 (“Coal Promissory Note”) to JBM. During the first 2 years, the note carried no interest. On July 9, 2010 and January 9, 2011 cash payments of $200,000 and $200,000, respectively, were paid towards Coal Promissory Note. An additional amount of $100,000 was to be paid 90 days following the completion of the Reserve Study and Mining Plan, to be no later than April 9, 2012. Interest only payments on the $1,250,000 balance were to be made quarterly during the third and fourth years, starting July 9, 2012. Starting July 9, 2014, the principal balance of $1,250,000 was to be paid in 8 equal quarterly installments, plus accrued interest on the unpaid principal balance to date of each principal payment. The Company has made one interest payment of $15,625 as of September 30, 2012, and one interest payment of $15,625 subsequently. On March 26, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Coal Buy Sell Agreement (the “Coal Amendment”), by and between the Company and JBM, amending and restating the terms of the Coal Agreement, dated as of February 4, 2010, by and between JBM and Future Gas, which Coal Agreement was subsequently assigned by Future Gas to the Company pursuant to that certain Assignment, dated as of March 31, 2010, by and among JBM, Future Gas, and the Company. The Coal Amendment extended the date upon which the Company must complete a reserve study and mine feasibility study from April 9, 2012 to April 9, 2013. However, the Company represents that it will make every effort in good faith to complete its drilling plan in 2012 and have Weir International, Inc. finalize and prepare a preliminary reserve study and mine feasibility study and mining plan as soon as possible thereafter. The Coal Amendment also provides that the Company’s payment of $100,000 to JBM that was previously due 90 days following the completion of the mining and reserve study and to be no later than April 9, 2012 is now due on the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days following the effective date of the registration statement (the "Registration Statement") with respect to the Amended and Restated Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (the “SEDA”), dated as of June 13, 2012, by and between the Company and YA Global Master SPV Ltd. or (ii) December 9, 2012, and delayed the first interest payment due under the Coal Agreement until July 9, 2012. Finally, the Company’s payment obligations under the Coal Amendment are evidenced by an amended and restated promissory note of the Company in favor of JBM, dated as of March 26, 2012, with a current principal balance of $1,350,000, an interest rate of 5% per annum and monthly payments of $100,000 plus accrued interest commencing on April 9, 2013 (the “Amended Coal Promissory Note”). The Amended Coal Promissory Note replaces the Coal Promissory Note, dated as of April 9, 2010, by the Company in favor of JBM. The Amended Coal Promissory Note to facilitate the agreements is contracted at an interest rate substantially below market rates for similar types of coal properties. Accordingly, the Company imputed a discount of $186,392 at a market interest rate of approximately 16% in accordance FASB ASC 835,”Interest”. Should the Company make all necessary payments as indicated, up until December 9, 2012 and completes the Reserve Study and Mining Plan as anticipated in the agreement, but defaults on the $1,250,000 balance, the coal property will be returned to JBM and the Company will receive a 40% equity interest in JBM and the $1,250,000 balance will be cancelled. Otherwise, if the Company defaults on Amended Coal Promissory Note, JBM at its option may terminate the agreement and or initiate action for any other remedy under the law. At September 30, 2012, Amended Coal Promissory Note is presented net of unamortized debt discount of $108,223 (2011 - $381,808). Under the Coal Amendment, JBM will be paid a royalty of $0.25 per ton on all coal when and as mined from the coal property.
