Summary

Two Claims of Uni-Dragon Mining and Development Corporation (UDMDC). Uni-Dragon Mining and Development Corporation (UDMDC), a duly registered corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 1998, has two approved and registered mining claims under MPSA No. 271-2008-V and MPSA No. 272-2008-V covering mining areas of 107.8434 hectares and 173.9329 hectares, respectively, for a total of area of 281.7763 hectares, located at Paracale, Camarines Norte, which were determined to have commercial quantities of deposits of gold, copper, silver and iron sand. Mining operations during the latter part of the Marcos era was, for a time, banned by the Marcos government to make way for the exploration of uranium and scandium. “The general area offers potential exploration-development target for placer gold deposits and gold rich quartz vein lodes. Silica quartz, associated with gold and magnetite in the alluviums and beach sands, is also a potential quarry resource.”- Samuel Declaro, Geologist Several preliminary geological assessment and exploration works were done to determine the occurrence of minerals and the quality of mineral deposits in the two claims. It is also worth noting that major geologic study, was also conducted by the Joint United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) in 1987, covering the Panganiban Tablas Area of Camarines Norte, immediately south of the tenement areas. A surface and underground scanning by satellite of the two mining claim areas, as well as the adjacent privately-owned lands of UDMDC, was likewise conducted by NOAH’S ARK, a U.S. company headed by Milton Samuel Taylor, albeit copies of the study and results of the satellite scanning may be obtained through these abovementioned agencies. Confirmatory geological surveys of the two mining claims and the adjacent 300 hectares of privately-owned lands of UDMDC, were conducted by highly reputable geologists, Samuel Declaro (Lic. No. 000576) and Angel A. Bravo (Lic. No. 0398) in 2005 and 2007, respectively. The geological survey results show that MPSA 271 and MPSA 272 bear gold reserves, from both placer materials and ore, of 925,076 and 1,708,651 troy ounces, respectively, while the adjacent privately-owned lands of UDMDC was determined to have gold reserves of 8,031,042 troy ounces for a grand total of 10,664,769 troy ounces. Based on the 2009 gold market price of US$1,200 per troy ounce, the two MPSA’s which has an aggregate gold reserve of 2,633,727 troy ounces has a total value of US$3,160,472,400. Adding the gold reserves in the adjacent privately-owned lands of UDMDC, the total value would be US$ 12,797,722,800. An assay laboratory report conducted by the Abra Mining and Industrial Corporation in August 18, 2011 using the AAS Instrumental Method of Analysis of Gold Determination showed an average assay of 51.67 grams of gold per ton of ore. Moreover, an assay conducted by the same laboratory for one alluvial sand sample for gold (Au) and total iron (Fe), indicated 0.45 grams/ton for gold and 55.06 percent for iron. Presence of small-scale mining activity in the MPSA areas of UDMDC confirms occurrence of gold, yielding fairly high quantities of gold with an average of 8.623 grams of gold per metric ton of ore based on analysis. It was further determined that both MPSA’s have an aggregate reserves of about 31,950,893 MT of iron sand at depth of 10 feet that is calculated to generate a total net income of about US$288,000,000 for ten years at 2,000 MT per day capacity. Report on Analysis in May, 2011 by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) showed Iron, Fe, % at 55.15, Titanium Dioxide, TiO2, % at 2.79 and Copper, Cu, % at 0.10. At least four relevant evaluation reports and two mine feasibility reports were undertaken during the time when the mining claims were under the aegis of Pedro Trajano (father of Francisco Trajano, the current Chairman of UDMDC): “Report on the Preliminary Exploration activities in the Placer Gold Claims of Mr. Pedro Trajano Located at Barrios Gumaus and Ngidngid, Paracale, Camarines Norte” by Engr. Virgilio Dela Cruz, 1974. Geologic Investigation of Six Mining Claims “Henry 1 to 6 in Paracale, Camarines Norte” by Engr.
