Core Drilling - Drilling that uses hollow diamond-studded drill bits on the end of the drill stem to produce lengths of cylindrical rock of varying diameter. It has the advantage over other drilling methods of producing a solid core sample of the rock the drill has passed through, rather than chips, enabling more accurate determination and characterization of rock types, mineralized material, and structures encountered, and their orientations in three dimensions.

Core Holes - A boring by a diamond drill or other machine that is made for the purpose of obtaining core samples.

Deposits - Mineralized material deposit is used to designate a natural occurrence of a useful mineralized material, in sufficient extent and degree of concentration to invite exploitation.

Dolomite - Is the name of a sedimentary carbonate rock and a mineral, both composed of calcium magnesium carbonate found in crystals.

Drill Hole Records - A description of the borehole based on the daily logs from the driller and the samples and the report of the geologist.

Drilling - The operation of making deep holes with a drill for prospecting, exploration, or valuation.

Exploration - The search for mineralized material by (1) geological surveys; (2) geophysical prospecting (may be ground, aerial, or both); (3) boreholes and trial pits; or (4) surface or underground headings, drifts, or tunnels. Exploration aims at locating the presence of economically feasible mineralized material deposits and establishing their nature, shape, and grade, and the investigation may be divided into (1) preliminary and (2) final.

Exploratory Drilling - The drilling of boreholes from the surface or from underground workings, to seek and locate mineralized material and to establish geological structure.

Faulting - The process of fracturing and displacement that produces a fault.

Geochemistry - The branch of chemistry dealing with the chemical composition of the earth's crust and the chemical changes that occur there

Geology - Organized body of knowledge about the earth, including physical geology and historical geology, among others.

Geophysics - Physics of the Earth.

Grandiorite - Medium to coarse-grained rock that is one of the most abundant intrusive rocks. It contains quartz and is distinguished from granite by having more plagioclase feldspar than orthoclase feldspar; its other mineral constituents include hornblende, biotite, and augite. Granodiorite is similar to granite in appearance but darker.

Grinding Mill - A machine for the wet or dry fine crushing of rock or other material. The three main types are the ball, rod, and tube mills. The mill consists of a rotating cylindrical drum; the rock enters one hollow trunnion and the finished product leaves the other. Modern practice

Metallurgy - The science and art of separating metals and metallic minerals from their ores by mechanical and chemical processes; the preparation of metalliferous materials from raw mineralized material.

Metallurgical Studies - Studies pertaining to the physical and chemical properties and behavior under varying conditions of rocks, minerals, mineralization and mineralized material, their metallic elements and intermetallic compounds, and their mixtures (alloys), and the processes required to optimize the extraction of particular metals.

Metamorphism - A process whereby rocks undergo physical or chemical changes or both to achieve equilibrium with conditions other than those under which they were originally formed (weathering arbitrarily excluded from meaning). Agents of metamorphism are heat, pressure, and chemically active fluids.

Mineralization - The process or processes by which a mineral is introduced into a rock, resulting in a valuable or potentially valuable deposit. It is a general term, incorporating various types; e.g., fissure filling, impregnation, and replacement.

Mining Claim - A mining claim is a parcel of land that has the possibility of containing a valuable mineralized material or proven/probable reserve in the soil or rock. A location is the act of appropriating such a parcel of land according to law or to certain established rules.

Old Workings - Mine working that has been abandoned, allowed to collapse, and perhaps sealed off. Unless proper safeguards are taken, old workings can be a source of danger to workings in production particularly if they are waterlogged and their plan position is uncertain.

Openpit Mine - A mine working or excavation open to the surface.

Return to Table of Contents

Openpit Mining - A form of operation designed to extract minerals that lie near the surface. Waste, or overburden, is first removed, and the mineral is broken and loaded, as in a stone quarry.

Probable (Indicated) Reserves - Reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven (measured) reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven (measured) reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.

PART I

Item 1. Business.

General

We were incorporated on March 15, 2007, under the laws of the State of Montana. Our Company is a mineral exploration, development and production company, which is currently in the exploration stage of historically designated mineralized material on the Garnet Mineral Property, located in Missoula, Montana. Exploration activities were minimal in 2011. Most of the planned drilling and exploration activities for 2011 were deferred, due to commencement of the construction of a portal, 400 feet of decline and the building of surface facilities for the proposed Nancy Hanks Mine. We also rebuilt and surfaced the Nancy Hanks haul roads with 28,000 tons of gravel. During 2011, the Company shipped 32,000 tons of historic Mine Dumps from the Lead King Mine and recovered 1,500 ounces of gold from processing the historic Mine Dump material at Golden Sunlight's Toll Mill in Whitehall, Montana. The decision to begin mine development at the Nancy Hanks mine resulted from the assessment of exploration drilling completed in 2010.

On June 15, 2007, we acquired an option from Commonwealth Resources, LLC ("Commonwealth") to purchase a 100% interest in the mineral rights (excluding surface rights) to 23 patented mining claims and 122 unpatented mining claims related to the Garnet Mineral Property. Subsequently, on May 24, 2010, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Commonwealth, which was approved by the shareholders on June 24, 2010, whereby the Company purchased an additional 90 unpatented mining claims and 8 leasehold interests on Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") owned patented mining claims. In 2011 the Company acquired, by staking and registering, 177 new, unpatented mining claims in Beaverhead, Broadwater, Granite, Jefferson, Madison, Missoula, Powell and Sanders Counties, Montana.

Commonwealth provided the Company with historical data on the Garnet Mineral Property dating back to 1865 and data from exploration programs conducted in the late 1980's and early 1990's. Drill logs and reports containing drilling results from the drilling program conducted by Pegasus Gold Corporation ("Pegasus") between 1990 and 1992 indicated the existence of low grade mineralized material that was drilled sufficiently to establish continuity between drill holes. Pegasus also encountered a number of high grade mineralized material intercepts. Pegasus allowed its option to the Garnet Mineral Property to lapse in 1993 and subsequently filed for bankruptcy. We believe that the various grades and widths of high grade mineralized material veins found by Pegasus lend themselves to further exploration that could result in the determination of the existence of underground gold reserves.

During the third and fourth quarters of 2008, we began a definition drilling program consisting of 54 reverse circulation drill holes, totaling 13,203 feet, which examined three vein systems located on the Garnet Mineral Property. The Company's designated drill targets were based on results of the exploration conducted by Pegasus between December 1989 and December 1992, which consisted of 147 reverse circulation holes, totaling 47,646 feet, six core holes, totaling 1,710 feet, and 4,110 samples including soil, trench, channel, rock chip, dump, underground, and stream sediment samples. Other exploration activities completed by Pegasus include

Return to Table of Contents

geochemical soil analysis, induced polarization, VLF and air magnetometer surveys, surface and underground mapping and sampling, historic dump surveys, and trench and grab sampling.

The Company's plan of operation for 2009 was to conduct focused exploration activities in the area Pegasus explored and drilled in order to continue establishing drill hole continuity and to proceed with a pre-feasibility or scoping study in order to determine the existence of proven/ probable reserves. The Company retained the engineering firm CDM Constructors, Inc., of Helena, Montana, to assist in proceeding with and completing the pre-feasibility or scoping study.

The 2009 exploration drill program targeted the completion of 150 reverse circulation drill holes in order to further define underground and pit mineralized material located in the Nancy Hanks and Dewey mineral claims. A total of 111 reverse circulation drill holes, totaling 37,763 feet, were completed during the 2009 exploration program. Of these, 62 holes totaling 21,840 feet, were drilled in the greater Nancy Hanks Pit area. Total drill footage for 2009 was nearly three times the footage drilled by us in 2008. In addition to the Nancy Hanks Pit area, the program included exploration of the Willie Vein System and began definition of the Tostman and Tiger mineralized deposits in the greater project area.

One of the most significant advances in our exploration activities in 2009 was the acquisition of Maptek's Vulcan 3-D geologic modeling software and the input of all previous drill results and data. The database is updated on an ongoing basis as exploration results are received. Other activities included the implementation of a geophysics program conducted on the Willie vein system, creation of a "geologic team" to expand our knowledge of the Garnet District, updating surface geologic maps, metallurgical test work for mill planning, various placer exploration activities, Lidar mapping and creation of high resolution topographic maps and aerial photos, and continued compilation of historic maps and data for future exploration and mine planning.

Our 2010 drilling season began on April 15, 2010 and ended December 7, 2010. During 2010, we continued to define the identified mineralized material zones through the completion of 66 reverse circulation holes and 4 core holes totaling 34,858 feet and 1,699 feet respectively. Drilling primarily took place in the Nancy Hanks and Willie mineralized structures.

In 2011, the emphasis was on beginning the excavation of an access drift in the hanging wall of the Nancy Hanks veins system, and in preparing the needed infrastructure to manage the mine.

Acquisition of patented and unpatented mineral claims

In June, 2007, we acquired an exclusive option to purchase the mineral interests to 23 patented mineral claims and 122 unpatented mineral claims located within the Garnet Mining District of Granite County, Montana (the "Garnet Mineral Property") from Commonwealth pursuant to an option agreement (the "Option Agreement"). On May 24, 2010 we purchased 90 unpatented claims and 8 leasehold interests on BLM owned patented claims from Commonwealth. Commonwealth retained the services of WGM Survey Co. of Missoula, Montana to physically stake and record ownership in these 122 unpatented mineral claims with Granite County, Montana and the BLM. The owner of record on 22 of the 23 patented mineral claims is Commonwealth. The owner of record of the other patented claim, the Free Coin, is River

Return to Table of Contents

Terrace Estates, Inc. ("River Terrace"). Commonwealth entered into a mining lease with River Terrace ("Mining Lease") which provides for a lease and option to purchase the Free Coin patented mining claim. Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement and a partial assignment of the mining lease, we acquired the right to lease and the option to acquire the Free Coin mineral rights and patented mining claim. The material terms of the Free Coin patented mining claim transaction are further set forth in the "Material Agreements" section of this Form 10-K below.

The 212 unpatented mineral claims are administered by the BLM under the provisions provided for by the 1872 Mining Law. The Company's interests in 90 unpatented mineral claims and Commonwealth's interest in 122 unpatented mineral claims continue in perpetuity provided the Company and Commonwealth each pay an annual $140 maintenance fee on each mineral claim in compliance with the BLM regulations pertaining to unpatented mining claims. Currently, the aggregate annual maintenance fee paid by us for the 90 claims and Commonwealth for 122 claims is $12,600 and $17,080, respectively. The annual maintenance fee is set annually by the BLM.

The 23 patented mining claims are fee simple properties. Commonwealth's interest in 22 patented mineral claims will continue in perpetuity, provided Commonwealth pays annual assessed property taxes, currently $1,540, in the aggregate, to Granite County, Montana. Commonwealth's interest in the Free Coin patented mineral claim will continue for a period of seven years beginning on March 29, 2007, provided Commonwealth complies with the material terms of the Amended Mining Lease, which are set forth in the "Material Terms of Related Party Agreements" section of this Form 10-K.

Four of the patented mineral claims (Nancy Hanks, (ms#5365), Dewey-Midnight, (ms#9833), Tiger, (ms#5361), and Placer Claim 751, (ms#751), owned by Commonwealth have non-interest bearing mortgage liens in the amount of $300,000.

Three of the patented mining claims (Fourth of July (ms#5453), North Star (ms#9404), and the Harold (ms#5812), owned by Commonwealth have a trust indenture, bearing interest at 12% per annum, in the amount of $85,571.

The 8 leasehold interests on BLM-owned patented claims rely upon a Prospecting Permit obtained from the BLM. These leasehold interests will continue in perpetuity provided that the Company, (i) files an extension for its Prospecting Permit 90 days prior to the expiration date, (ii) tenders the annual rental payment, equal to $0.50 per acre, or a minimum of $20, (iii) drills or excavates at least one exploration hole, trench, test pit, or performs some other comparable exploration, and (iv) periodically updates the BLM on our operations plan and obtains and maintains an adequate bond. On August 31, 2010, we submitted a periodic operation plan update to the BLM, paid a $9,495 fee associated with the BLM review process, and verified that our Prospectors Permit is in good standing. Approval for the continuation of the Prospectors Permit is dated February 28, 2011 and was received on April 27, 2011 by us. We will request a continuation for another two years before November 30, 2012. As of the date of this Form 10-K, we have a bond amount in place of $15,801 for our exploration activities on our 8 leasehold interests.

Material Agreements

Option Agreement with Commonwealth

On June 17, 2007, we entered into a seven-year Option Agreement, which we amended on June 28, 2010, whereby the term was extended by three additional years. The Option Agreement conveys to us an exclusive option to purchase the mineral rights to 23 patented mining claims and 122 unpatented mining claims from Commonwealth at any time during the term of the Option Agreement upon the payment of $7,000,000. Pursuant to the Option Agreement, we have the right to explore for minerals, develop potential mining targets, and enter into limited gold production, subject to the payment of a 5% net smelter return on any ore processed during the option period to be paid within fifteen days of the close of each calendar month. The Option Agreement requires us to (i) make annual option payments of $190,000 for the first eight years of the agreement on June 15 of each year, provided we complete surface improvements in lieu of the $190,000 cash payment during the years of 2011 and 2012, (ii) make annual option payments in cash, or surface improvements in lieu of cash payments, of $400,000 during 2015 and 2016, and (iii) make annual surface access lease payments of $60,000.

Pursuant to the Option Agreement, on June 15, 2007 and January 24, 2008, we also issued a total of 19,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to Commonwealth at $0.125 per share for a total consideration valued at $2,375,000.

Under the Option Agreement, we will hold Commonwealth harmless from rehabilitation or reclamation of the property. At the time of completion of operations, we must return structures to their original site, or another agreed upon site on the property. We must provide work program results to Commonwealth and secure and maintain adequate insurance on the property and for the workers. We must also fully perform the material terms of the Non-Exclusive Surface Lease Agreement ("Surface Lease"), which was entered into by us and Commonwealth on June 15, 2007.

The Option Agreement may terminate upon a breach of the Option Agreement or the Surface Lease by us that is not cured within 20 days of notice of the breach from Commonwealth. Upon termination, we must ensure sufficient assessment work has been filed to hold unpatented claims through the assessment year commencing September 1 and within 60 days, deliver existing drill core samples, pulps, and copies of formal reports, and must represent and warrant the accuracy and completeness of such reports; within 180 days remove any of our property, excluding that property that must be left pursuant to the Option Agreement or Surface Lease, and to replace any structures moved from the property.

From inception through December 31, 2011, we paid a total of $88,732 on behalf of Commonwealth for BLM assessment fees and property taxes, and we paid Commonwealth a total of $1,416,960 in annual option payments and annual surface access lease payments.

Return to Table of Contents

Non-Exclusive Surface Lease Agreement

The Surface Lease runs co-extensively with the Option Agreement and expires upon our acquisition of the mineral rights. At that time, the parties will enter into a new lease agreement on the property, under mutually agreeable terms and for rent of not less than the current Surface Lease. We may use any structure on the property as listed in Schedule B of the Surface Lease. Any structure constructed, remodeled, or renovated on the property is to run with the land and is to remain there for the benefit of Commonwealth. We are required to maintain fire and extended coverage on all structures in use on the property and must maintain the exteriors and interiors of those structures. An annual rent payment of $60,000 per year is required, which, upon thirty day notice, may convert to monthly or quarterly payments upon mutual agreement between the parties. In addition, we must pay all the taxes and assessments on the patented claims and pay all assessments and conduct all work required to keep unpatented mining claims in good standing with the US Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management and State of Montana, or any political subdivision thereof. We have agreed to hold Commonwealth harmless from liability damages or claims of damages and must carry suitable liability insurance.

The Surface Lease may be terminated upon a breach of the Surface Lease which include: our failure to pay all taxes and assessments, or conduct all work on the subject claims; our use of the property in a way not set forth in the Surface Lease; our failure to pay the rent payment; our committing or suffering any waste in or upon the property; our making of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or an insolvency assignment or filing a voluntary petition for bankruptcy. In the event GHC fails to pay all taxes and assessments and perform all work on the subject claims, Commonwealth has the right, without notice, to make payments or perform the work required. This default may be cured by us if we reimburse Commonwealth for the full costs for completing the requirements in a timely manner. Otherwise termination of the agreement requires written notice of default to be delivered to us no sooner than 10 days from the defaulting event. We have 30 days from delivery of a notice of default from Commonwealth to cure any other default under the Surface Lease. If we fail to cure within such 30-day period, Commonwealth may re-enter the property, take possession and terminate the Surface Lease, whereby we will forfeit all rents paid and are responsible for any damages suffered by Commonwealth as a result of the default.

Notice of Option to Purchase Mineral Interests

On September 25, 2008, a Notice of Option to Purchase Mineral Interests was filed with the Granite Clerk and Recorder, whereby Commonwealth conveyed to us the right to purchase the mineral rights pertaining to the subject mining claims at any time prior to June 15, 2014, provided we perform all obligations as required pursuant to the material terms of the Option Agreement. The material terms as stated in the Option Agreement are as follows: The option may be exercised at any time prior to 11:59pm, June 14, 2017. The parties have agreed to file an Amended Notice of Option giving notice that the Option Agreement has been extended until 11:59 p.m., June 14, 2017. We may enter and shall have immediate possession of the property containing the optioned mineral rights, excluding historical structures. We may use the property to carry out our operations; install buildings, plants, machinery, equipment, tools, appliances and supplies. In the event Commonwealth's title is deficient, we may remedy the deficiency and

deduct the costs and related expenses of said deficiency from the final purchase price of the Garnet Mining District mineral deeds.

Amended Mining Lease / Partial Assignment of Amended Mining Lease and Acknowledgment

The owner of record of one patented claim, the Free Coin, is River Terrace. An Amended Mining Lease between River Terrace and Commonwealth provides for a lease and option to purchase the Free Coin patented mining claim. This Mining Lease has been partially assigned to us by the terms of the Option Agreement and through a Partial Assignment of Amended Mining Lease, which assigned to us the leasehold interest in the Amended Mining Lease and the right to acquire, upon exercise of the purchase option defined in the Mining Lease and Amended Mining Lease, the mineral rights in and to the mining claim. The terms and nature of this Mining Lease, amended on or about February 20, 2009, are as follows: River Terrace leases Free Coin Quartz Lode, Mineral Survey No. 4652, Patent No. 28062 containing 13.86 acres, more or less, to Commonwealth for a period of seven years from March 29, 2007, subject to Commonwealth's option to purchase. Commonwealth shall have the exclusive right to enter upon and have possession of the mining claims for the purpose of testing, exploring, developing, and operating the mining claims as unpatented mining claims and extracting from and selling, with the exception of the portion attributable to River Terrace, any minerals found thereon and therein, specifically including, but not limited to, gold, silver, copper, gemstones and other minerals or gems. The places where any testing, exploring, developing and operating of the claim shall be done, and the extent thereof, shall be left entirely to the discretion of Commonwealth, provided however, that Commonwealth shall perform all work on said premises in a good and miner-like manner so as to preserve the premises as a workable lode mining claim. The following are the material terms of the option to purchase the subject mining claim: Commonwealth shall pay an annual rent payment of $500; Commonwealth shall pay a 3% net smelter return on all minerals extracted from the claim during the seven years immediately succeeding the date of the Amended Mining Lease; Commonwealth shall pay any real property, or any other taxes assessed or levied against mining claims, Commonwealth's property, or structures on the mining claim; Commonwealth shall pay all costs for the operation of said premises; Commonwealth will not allow a lien of any kind to be imposed or enforced against the premises; and Commonwealth will maintain appropriate insurance policies, including general liability and auto-related liability. A default on the option to purchase the subject mining claims consists of a violation of any provision of the Mining Lease, culminating in River Terrace delivering a written notice of violation and 120 day notice of termination of Mining Lease to Commonwealth. Commonwealth has 120 days from receipt of said notice to cure the default; otherwise River Terrace may take possession of the premises. The following are the material terms of the purchase agreement of the subject mining claim: Commonwealth shall give its notice of intention to purchase the mineral claim within seven years from March 29, 2007. The purchase price for the subject mining claim is $60,000, plus 12% bonus per annum, computed from the date of the Mining Lease to the date of the final closing payment, not to be more than 90 days after the notice to exercise the option is given to River Terrace.

2011-2012 ANNUAL REPORT
2011 MINING AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES AND RESULTS
AND 2012 PROJECTED MINING AND EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

GARNET DISTRICT

In 2011, the Company's activities consisted principally of development of the Nancy Hanks Mine, and, secondly, of limited exploration activities. The description of those activities will follow a summary report by Dr. James W. Sears, consulting geologist, of the geological features in the Garnet district that are of particular import to the claims available for development by the Company.

Revised February 2012

Return to Table of Contents

Introduction:

Detailed geologic mapping significantly increases estimates of gold resources in the Garnet-Coloma mining district. The purpose of this summary is to place gold reserves that Grant Hartford Corporation has proven for at Nancy Hanks and Willie vein systems into a broader geologic context to demonstrate reasonable expectations for district-wide gold resources.

The proven reserves represent, however, only a small fraction of likely gold resources in the district.

The drilled reserves constitute less than 1/10 of the mapped strike-lengths in the Nancy Hanks and Willie vein systems, and at most include only the upper 500 feet of those structures. Drilling in the Tostman claim to the west, and International claim to the east, while not spaced closely enough to define reserves, intersected the continuations of the Nancy Hanks vein structure with gold values consistent with our proven ore blocks.

In addition, we have mapped five sister gold-quartz veins between the Nancy Hanks and Willie veins. These historically-mined veins - the Cascade, Mountain View, Tiger, Grant-Hartford, and Lead King - sub-parallel the Nancy Hanks and Willie veins, and are spaced from a few hundred to a thousand feet apart. Geologic analysis and historic mining records indicate that these veins share similar grades, sources, mineralogic textures, trends, and structural habits. Historic mines on these veins averaged one ounce of gold per ton, according to shipping records.

We have not determined the down-dip limits of the gold-bearing veins, but a deep test hole that we drilled intersected 0.25 OPT gold in a vein at 900 feet. We infer that the seven veins branch outward from a common source at depth in the Garnet granite stock, and that the ultimate source could be thousands of feet deep.

In addition to the gold-quartz veins near Garnet, GHC has contiguous claims across a down-faulted outlier of the vein systems on the southeast side of the Day Gulch fault. We have not yet mapped this area in detail, but there are several historic lode mines and rich placer mines in the outlier, and preliminary analysis indicates that the veins have the same geologic genesis as the ones near Garnet. Additional rich veins were historically mined to the west at Coloma, where we also have exploration rights, but we have not yet studied these veins in detail.

Our proven reserves in the Nancy Hanks and Willie vein structures represents only 1500 feet of total vein strike-length in a district with a minimum of 30,000 feet of mapped vein strike-length. It also only represents the upper 500 feet or less of the veins. Furthermore, the Grant Hartford, Lead King, and Willie veins occur within the Garnet Range quartzite, and occupy the crest of the Deep Creek anticline, which plunges northwest, and it is reasonable to expect each of the veins to continue to the northwest along the anticlinal crest for some 4000 linear feet. It is geologically feasible that the reserves represent 5% or less of the vein structures that might ultimately be mined in the Garnet District. The resources near Coloma and east of Day Gulch would add significantly to that estimation.

Conclusion:

In spite of its historical productivity, the gold bearing veins of the Garnet-Coloma District have only barely begun to be explored with systematic surveying, geologic mapping, drilling, assaying, and subsurface modeling. We have blocked out mineable gold reserves and resources in vein systems whose boundaries extend in three directions beyond the reaches of our drill stems in 2010.

2011 Exploration Activities

This section outlines exploration activities completed on the Garnet Mineral Property during the 2011 exploration season. Exploration activities were minimal in 2011. Most of the planned drilling and exploration activities for 2011 were deferred, due the construction of a portal, 400 feet of decline and building surface facilities for the new Nancy Hanks Mine. The Company also rebuilt and surfaced the Nancy Hanks haul roads with 28,000 tons of gravel. During 2011, the Company shipped 32,000 short tons of historic Mine Dumps from the Lead King Mine and recovered 1,500 ounces of gold from processing the ore at Golden Sunlight's Toll Mill in Whitehall, Montana. The decision to begin mine development to the Nancy Hanks resulted from the assessment of exploration drilling completed in 2010.

Many of the exploration activities planned for 2011 will be resumed in 2012, as set forth in a later section.

Section 1: Surface Exploration

Grab Samples: There was very little sampling completed for exploration in 2011. The Lead King Dump project produced numerous samples primarily used for grade control during shipping operations.

A small number of samples were taken at various locations visited by GHC personnel throughout western Montana.

Section2: Mapping (Jim Sears)

Mapping program: During 2011, Dr. Sears continued refining his lithologic and structural interpretation of the Garnet District.

2011 Mine Development Activities: Nancy Hanks Mine

The surface area for the proposed adit (drift) was cleared of vegetation and top soil. The excavation began and it was soon discovered it would be difficult to "turn underground" because of the ground conditions present. New Millennium encountered very weathered and decomposed granodiorite that encased large granodiorite boulders near the surface.

The area above and surrounding the adit was then excavated down in layers using extra care with ground support, installing horizontal 12-foot-long resin rebar ground support bolts, integrated and within heavy gauge wire mesh screen. The bolts and mesh were then covered with 6" to 8" of shotcrete (sprayed on, fiber reinforced, high strength concrete). This was continued to the present sill (floor) level of the adit. The area which incorporates this type of ground support is approximately 24 feet above the back (ceiling) of the adit and 40 feet either side of the adit.

Once the adit area was secure, the actual drifting (tunneling) began. The initial 24 feet of drift excavation was done with a surface excavator and a small tunnel boring machine at a +1% grade. This method was used in order to reduce the stress to the loose material being excavated. As the excavation progressed, the same ground support method was used as mentioned above with the exception that the 12-foot-long resin rebar bolts were installed both horizontally and vertically.

To ensure the safety of the adit area, timber sets were also installed for support. These timber sets consisted of 10"x10" posts, caps, and girts, with 3" lacing on the ribs (sides) and back (ceiling) of the timber sets. The timber sets were then anchored to the ground of the adit with 8 foot resin rebar bolts and also connected to each other with rebar bolts.

The methods for excavation of the drift changed at this point as the ground conditions (rock type) were changing, getting less decomposed and harder. It should also be noted that the declination of this drift changed at this point to -15%, now becoming a decline. It became necessary at this point to use modern, mechanized underground rubber-tired excavation equipment. An electric over hydraulic Jumbo (rock drill) was used to drill 6-foot-long blast holes. The blast holes were loaded with ANFO (a mixture of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil) and then blasted. Muckers (underground loaders) then were used to remove the blasted material to the surface. Ground support was now installed. The ground support remained the same as set forth in paragraph #4. The cycle then started over again. Drill, muck, blast, and ground support. Excavation of the decline using this method continued for the next 80 feet when ground conditions changed once again, getting much harder and competent.

Ground support changed at this point, installing mostly 8-foot resin rebar bolts in the ribs and back, with a few 12-foot resin rebar bolts in the back within the heavy gauge wire mesh. Shotcrete was no longer needed at this point as the ground was tight and no longer decomposed and coming apart. The contractor was also able to start drilling 10-12-foot-long blast holes at this point, not fearing the earlier problems of causing too much stress to the decomposed ground conditions. The further down the decline the contractor excavated, the better the ground conditions became, allowing them to start installing only 6-foot-long resin rebar bolts with some occasional 5-foot-long friction-type bolts integrated within the heavy gauge wire.

In September of 2011, New Millennium had excavated, including the 24 feet at the adit, 380 feet of the decline. At this point, we determined to discontinue the use of the contractor.

Between September and December 2011, Grant Hartford's employees and various contractors were undertaking the task of construction and installation of required infrastructure. All the material from the portal and adit-area excavation was carefully separated into 3 categories. All topsoil was separated and placed in a storage area, large boulders were separated and placed in strategic areas, and all other material from this area and from underground excavation was placed on "the crusher pad area". "The crusher pad", is a multipurpose area; used for ore storage. It is the location of the Actech Impact Crushing Plant that crushes ore and waste rock. Adjacent to the crusher is the Utilities and Shop facility, a 125-feet-long by 40-feet-wide steel building that houses the generators, air compressors, electrical transformers and a shop for underground mining equipment repairs and maintenance at the mine site. This facility is 90% complete. Under the foundation and cement pad for the building, a mine electrical grounding system was installed. The grounding system meets or exceeds required mining regulations and code as defined by MSHA.

A team of carpenters employed by us also constructed three other buildings: A building that is 30 feet long by 20 feet wide, nearing completion, was constructed as a Safety and Security office, a building, 50 feet long by 30 feet wide, nearing completion, was constructed as a "dry house" and mine office, and a third building was constructed as a residence for the mine manager. The interior and final hook-up of all utilities remains for completion of these three buildings.

A contractor completed drilling of 2 dewatering wells for the underground mine, a mine water supply well, and a water monitoring well. Over 1.6 miles of road were improved, and 28,000 tons of gravel was laid on the roadbed. The crusher was delivered and installed. Utilities including water lines, compressed air lines, and electrical lines were buried 6 feet underground. There were over 5,000 feet of ditches excavated and completed. Sewer and septic systems were also installed. Final hook-up of these utilities remains to complete this project.

Late in 2011, construction of a 12-foot-wide by 36-foot-long storage facility to house the material necessary for ground support in the underground excavation was constructed. Also constructed was a 12-foot by 12-foot structure that houses the underground mine dewatering pump. A 60-foot by 30-foot Weatherall Structure was purchased and erected near the mine site; it will serve as an interim storage/shop.

Installation of the mine dewatering lines was completed in late 2011. This included approximately 700 feet of perforated 4-inch HDPE pipe buried at 6 feet deep and installation of over 2400 feet of 4-inch HDPE on the surface. The 700-foot portion will be used for the infiltration gallery, and the 2400-foot section on the surface will be used for the main feed line. The 700 feet of ditches were excavated 6 feet deep by 3 feet wide, graded at -1%. Washed gravel 2 feet deep was then placed evenly throughout the ditch and also at a -1% grade. The 4-inch perforated HDPE was then placed in the ditch and fused together, incorporating strategically placed shut-off valves. Then, the pipe was covered with 2 more feet of washed gravel, covered with a silt fabric and the ditch was filled back to surface level. The area of surface disturbance was covered with a layer of topsoil and then seeded with a mixture of native vegetation. Once this task was completed, the task of fusing and placing over 2400 feet of the 4-inch HDPE pipe started. Each piece of pipe was only 20 feet long upon delivery and needed to be fused (welded) together to form the 2400-foot line. Cleanout valves at low spots in the lines were also installed.

2011 Mining Of Lead King Dumps

Commencing in June, 2011, GHC subcontracted with Smith Contracting, of Butte, Montana, to extract the Lead King ore dumps and truck the ore to the Golden Sunlight Toll Mill, located in Whitehall, Montana. This project had two primary objectives. The first objective was to perform reclamation activities and to prepare the site for the development of the planned Willie Lode Mine. The task was to remove approximately 60,000 tons of material, making way for a one-acre, level landing for the Willie Mine development. Smith Contracting screened 60,000 tons of the dumps to -2 inches, producing 32,000 tons of ore that was shipped to Golden Sunlight for processing. The Company recovered 1,500 ounces of gold from this from this operation. The oversize waste material that was not economical to ship for processing, comprising 28,000 tons, was utilized as gravel to resurface 1.6 miles of haul road for the Nancy Hanks Mine. The road work and Willie Mine site preliminary development was completed during the Fall of 2011. Both now provide a safe road system for hauling ore in the years to come and site preparation for the future Willie Mine.

2012
Garnet Project
Nancy Hanks Mine Plans and
High Grade Stopes

Introduction

This report outlines mine plans to commence in 2012 for the main Nancy Hanks mineralized structural ore zone (NH3) and current mine planning at the Garnet Project. It will discuss the intention to begin extraction of Nancy Hanks ore by targeting the "higher grade" sections of the larger NH3 Ore zone. A more detailed discussion on proposed mining methods can be found in the section below.

2012 Mining Methods And Plans For Nancy Hanks Mine

Grant Hartford Corporation will, in 2012, continue the excavation of the remaining development drifts. This will include approximately 4090 feet of 12'x12'drifts, muck bays, and sumps, and approximately 1450 feet of ore access drifts along the strike of the vein. These drifts will be excavated in the same manner as the lower portion of the decline was excavated, anticipating very competent ground conditions.

An ore block has been identified and will be encompassed by the development decline and ore access drifts. The development work being completed, production from the stopes will start. Grant Hartford Corporation will use a method called End Bite Timber Stull Stoping. This is an older technique used in difficult (the difficulty is that the vein lays over at a 39 degree angle) narrow vein mining. End Bite Stoping using the Timber Stull has been successful in narrow vein mining. ***Mining Engineering Handbook, Volume #1, A. Cummins and I. Given, section 12.9 and 12.9.3 copyright 1973.

Raises, (vertical shafts) 5'x8' in dimension will be mined on the extent of the ore body, both east and west, between the levels of the ore accesses. The raises will serve as break slots for future blasting, ventilation, and utility and man way accesses. Once the raises are complete, mining the ore block begins between Level #1 and Level #2. Timber sets have already been installed while the raises were mined. Next 8-foot drill holes are drilled on the vein on an approximate 2.5' x2.5' pattern (vein will pinch and swell as well as roll some). These drill holes will then be blasted creating an ORE muck pile on Level #2. This ORE muck pile is then extracted with the rubber-tired mucker while personnel are helping the muck move, (blowing down), from level; #1 to Level #2 with a compressed air and water mixture. The personnel will then install other sets of timber from top level #1 to level #2, always keeping cover over their heads for safety. While installing this timber they also drill holes on the vein once again. The drill holes are then blasted, starting the whole cycle once again. This mining cycle will continue until all the ore is removed from level #1 both east and west. The crew will then start the process over between level #2 and level #3, then between level #3 and level #4,and, finally, between levels #4 and level #5. It will take approximately 28 weeks to complete the extraction of the entire ore block.

Diamond drilling will be performed during the mining process helping identify block models for the next Stope mining cycles.

Nancy Hanks and Marble Ore Zones

The Nancy Hanks structural ore trend runs for several thousand feet along the intrusive/sedimentary contact. The primary area of focus at this time lies along strike to the west of the historic Dewey and below the historic Nancy Hanks mines. Drilling completed during the 2010 exploration season followed this trend to the west and resulted in over 650 feet of mineralized material along strike and over 250 feet along dip.

Based on drill exploration results, an ore body model was created and block model and reserve estimations were completed using Vulcan 3-D mine modeling software. Modeling of the higher-grade sections of the NH3 Vein High resulted in 14,005 tons of material grading .727 OPT Au, containing 10,183 ounces Au in the proven category and 33,853 tons of material grading .540 OPT Au, containing 18,295 ounces Au in the probable category. A breakdown between proven and probable categories is contained in the chart starting on page 23.

A mine plan and design for these high-grade sections was completed based on this reserve model. This plan also includes extraction of a smaller, satellite zone lying to the south, which is found in a flat structural zone within a marble section. Drilling and Vulcan 3-D modeling completed in 2008 and 2009 resulted in a reserve estimate for this "Marble" zone. The current reserve estimate contains 8667 tons grading .311 OPT Au in the proven and probable categories. Category breakdown is contained in the chart starting on page 23. The estimates of tonnage and grade for Grant Hartford's proven and probable reserves are current estimates.

Return to Table of Contents

High Grade Zones

Initial mine plans for the NH3 ore zone call for extraction of 7 "high-grade" portions of the structure on 6 levels. Concentration on the higher-grade portions of the structure will provide

material which contains more ounces with less material needing to be extracted and processed. Lower-grade sections will be left as pillars and will be extracted at some future date. Tons and grades presented in this report include categories 1-3. The attached grade report presents tons and grade by category.

		·	5810 Level - This level will access the Marble zone with 218 feet of access drifting and 420 feet of ore boundary drifting. This ore zone, we believe, will provide 8667 tons of material, grading .311 OPT Au.
		·	5770 Level - Only one high grade zone will be mined on this level. 177 feet of waste-drifting will access the uppermost portion of the NH3 vein and approximately 1289 tons, grading .786 OPT Au, will be removed from this level.
		·	5720 Level - This level will access 4 separate high-grade zones. We believe it will provide approximately 4400 tons of material, grading .747 OPT Au, and an additional 1538 tons of vein material at some lower grade. The uppermost ore zone started on the 5770 level will be completed on the 5720.

Return to Table of Contents

		·	5670 Level - Approximately 21354 tons of material, grading .691 OPT Au, will be mined, we believe, from this level. Three ore zones will be accessed with 91 feet of waste drifting. We expect an additional 919 tons of mineralized vein material will be extracted on this level at some lower grade.
		·	5620 Level - The top of a lower ore zone will be accessed on this level for a total of 4 mineable ore zones. This level is expected to provide approximately 16665 tons of material, grading .556 OPT Au. An additional 333 tons of mineralized vein material at some lower grade will also be extracted between ore zones.
		·	5570 Level - Two of the ore zones will be completed on the 5620 level leaving two ore zones to be mined on the 5570 level. These two zones contain approximately 11853 tons of material, grading .388 OPT Au. An additional 191 tons of mineralized vein material, we believe, will be removed between ore zones.
		·	5520 Level - Six of the seven ore zones will be completed by the 5520 level, leaving one small remaining ore zone containing 1199 tons of material, grading .248 OPT AU.

Conclusion

During extraction of the seven "high-grade" NH3 zones and the Marble zone, we expect to produce 56,525 tons of material, grading .551 OPT Au, containing 31,169 ounces Au. There will also be approximately 9,527 tons of mineralized vein material that will be removed between the high-grade zones. This material will be stockpiled and sampled.

Grant Hartford has concluded that targeting the high-grade sections of the NH3 vein structure initially will provide for profitable completion of this phase I plan.

2012 High Grade NH3 Mine Plan Reserve Estimate

In establishing the cutoff grade, we determined that the data from the Nancy Hanks Mine is sufficient to indicate that a minimum of this grade can be attained in the quantity calculated. Drilling has defined over 575 feet along strike and an average dip length of about 350 feet. Drill data is sufficient to indicate that the calculated tonnage can be mined and processed from this deposit. Three to four drill holes were drilled on sections every 50 feet along strike. The continuous nature of the deposit was defined with no breaks in mineralized structure for a distance of over 575 feet. Concentration of data is sufficient to allow the majority of the material to be put in to proven and probable reserve categories. This table assumes all material will be extracted within the ore zone and includes low grade dilution. The testing conducted by the Company at a third party independent laboratory and the previous experience of the Company in shipping and processing ore at the Golden Sunlight mill confirms the gold recovery rate at a minimum of 91%. The total operating costs ($12,348,569) used to calculate the cutoff grade is for 18 months of production. The 3 year average gold price is currently $1,276. Using these figures the economic cutoff grade is .410 OPT Au. As material is produced each load will be sampled and assayed before shipment to ensure the cutoff grade is maintained as a minimum.

The reserve estimation cutoff grades are set in Vulvan. This is done to exclude any questionable high assays which might bias the reserve estimate or to exclude sub-ore grade material from the estimate.

The reserve estimates generated in Vulcan presented below used cutoff grades for the NHa-g veins of; Lower Cutoff Value = 0.000 OPT Au and an Upper Cutoff Value of 20.0 OPT Au. No samples assay values of over 20.0 OPT Au exist in the data set so all data was included in the estimate.

The Marble Vein estimate used a lower cutoff of .100 OPT Au and an Upper cutoff value of 20.0 OPT Au. Material below .100 OPT Au is not included in the estimate.

The data presented above was generated by J. Robert Flesher, using Vulcan 3-D mine modeling software.

It should be noted here that all material will be removed from each high grade zone during mine activities. Separation of proven and probable material would be difficult to achieve by conventional mining methods.

The tonnages and grades represented here do not contain any allowance for dilution, however, given that they are all relatively small ore zones and dilution should be expected to be no more than 10%. Recovery loss should be minimal due to the shorter stope levels. Extensive metallurgical test work has been completed on the Garnet area material. All methods including leach, flotation, and gravity concentration has resulted in an average recovery of over 90%.

The reserve estimates presented in this document represent only a portion of the total identified mineralized material on the Garnet Property.

As disclosed in this document, Grant Hartford Corporation does not yet own most of the mining claims outright, but it does have the exclusive right to mine them and to retain all revenues derived therefrom except a 5% net smelter return due to Commonwealth Resources, LLC. Since the financial tables take into account the payment obligation to Commonwealth Resources, the quantities disclosed in this document are for the entire mine/deposit.

Sampling - Q/A Q/C

Overview

Three sample types were collected during exploration activities at the Garnet property. Reverse circulation drill cuttings, core splitting and sampling, and hand/grab/channel sampling. Drill cuttings are by far the most numerous. Four core holes were completed in 2010. Hand/grab samples of various exposed vein zones were taken.

Reverse Circulation Samples

Drill cutting samples were collected by O'Keefe Drilling personnel with the supervision and assistance of Grant Hartford personnel. Drill cuttings were run through rig-mounted rotary splitters. 5-10 lbs of sample were taken every 5 feet for assay. Smaller intervals were sampled where a vein zone was able to be identified. Chip trays were made for each hole corresponding to the samples taken. These chip trays were used for assay sample selection and geologic interpretation. All sample bags and chip trays were provided by Grant Hartford. Hole ID #'s and intervals were recorded on each sample bag.

Core Samples

All core samples were boxed and intervals marked by core drilling personnel with supervision and assistance of Grant Hartford personnel. Core samples were transferred to a sample logging shed on site. GHC geologists logged, split, and created samples for submittal. All core samples were sent to Chemex Laboratories for certified assay. Duplicates of all high grade portions of the core samples were sent to Mt Powell labs in Deer Lodge, MT.

Grant Hartford has a policy of submitting at least 10% of all samples for duplicate assays. During 2008, 1879 samples were sent out for assay. Of these 279 were assayed in duplicates of 2 to 4. These duplicates show a average deviation from the mean of 14.6%. These results compare well to Pegasus duplicate results (1989-1992) which found an average standard

Return to Table of Contents

deviation of 15.5%. Similar levels were sent for duplication in 2009. During 2010 all samples collected were run in duplicate.

Grab Samples

All grab samples from surface exposures were collected by GHC personnel. Samples are assayed to determine mineral content for future exploration and were not used in any reserve estimates.

Sample Custody/Transfer

All samples were stored on site until ready for transfer to the assay lab. All samples chosen for assay were delivered to the lab by Grant Hartford personnel. All samples determined to be waste are stored on Grant Hartford property. After assay, all rejects are returned to the job site for storage.

Assay Procedure

Samples were originally assayed by both Norris Lab of Norris, MT and Mt Powell Lab of Deer Lodge, MT. Due to the closer proximity and significantly lower assay costs, the Mt Powell lab was chosen for the majority of assay work.

The following assay procedure was received from Mt Powell Lab, Deer Lodge, MT.

"Samples are dried, crushed two times to minimum of 80% passing 1/4 inch, split to about 250 grams, and ground for the pulp.

Any crucibles which had samples over .4 oz/T are pulled from reuse (blank from such a crucible would be about .002 oz/T)

Blanks and Standards are used with each set of samples.

Duplicates use the same pulp. Reruns are done in duplicate using a second spilt."

Pegasus Samples

Pegasus drill data (1898-1992) includes 147 reverse circulation holes and six core holes resulting in 47601 feet and 1710 feet of drilling respectively. These samples were collected by Pegasus personnel and assayed at Silver Valley Labs, Chemex labs, and Pegasus labs.

2012 Projecting Mining Plan: Lead King Dumps

The Lead King dumps project has an estimated 8,000 tons of remaining ore dumps to be processed during 2012. The Company has contracted with Barkel Trucking to screen and haul the remaining ore to the Golden Sunlight Toll Mill. Work will commence during June, 2012. Upon completion of the project, the Company will finalize ground work in preparation of opening the Willie Mine.

Return to Table of Contents

2012 Ore-Processing Plans

Grant Hartford's 2012 Operational Plan to mine and process high-grade ore includes the construction of an onsite milling and concentration facility. The Company currently owns an impact crusher rated at 80 tons per hour. The high-grade gold ore will be crushed to a quarter-inch as it is stockpiled on the surface from the Nancy Hanks Mine with the intention of shipping this ore to the Golden Sunlight Mill in Whitehall, Montana.

Extensive metallurgical test work has been completed on the Garnet area material. All methods including leach, flotation, and gravity concentration has resulted in an average recovery of over 90%.

2012 Projected Exploration Activities

2012 Exploration Drill Plans
Garnet Project

Overview

This report outlines drill plans for exploration and core-drill planning for the 2012-2013 Exploration Seasons. Plans include underground core-drilling to define the westward extension of the NH3 vein, and surface work including both core and R/C drill-sampling which will target the Grant and Hartford in 2012. The Lead King, International, and Willie mineralized zones will have exploration-drilling completed on them as time and equipment availability allow and will be completed by the end of the 2013 exploration season.

Nancy Hanks NH3 West Extension
Underground Core Plans

This program will help define the mineralized trend between the currently-modeled NH3 vein and the Tostman modeled-ore zone. The NH3 vein has a current mine plan, and 380 feet of decline have been completed to access the mineralized material.

A 1500-foot drift will parallel the projected structure with drill stations located every 75 feet along strike. It will consist of 16 drill stations and will have 4 drill-holes completed per station for a total of 64 core-holes.

This exploration drift will leave the decline at the 5720 and will be located within 60 feet of the estimated mineralized vein location, allowing relatively short drill-hole lengths. This drill station and core-hole spacing should allow all drill data to meet requirements for Category 1 and 2 (Measured and Indicated) status.

This projected vein structure (using an average 5-foot vein width) could potentially contain over 170,000 tons of mineralized material.

Return to Table of Contents

Once completed, the new exploration drift will also allow access to ore extraction once the mineralized structure is defined. Core-plans and mine-planning will be modified as work progresses and the structure and mineralization are better understood. Exploration will begin where the current mine design ends and advance to the east toward the Tostman mineralized zone. This western end of the mineralized structure was drilled with R/C from the surface in 2010. The structure has not been cutoff to the west and ore-grade material was encountered in the last drill-fan section on this end.

Advancing at 20 feet per day and establishing drill stations will take approximately 90 days, and core-drilling will take approximately 4 months. A six-month total time period should be budgeted for this project.

Surface Exploration

Grant and Hartford Vein Structure

The Grant and Hartford mineralized structure lies north of the Lead King and Willie vein systems. This structure was mined fairly extensively on the east side of First Chance Gulch. The west side of the gulch has a short (230') drift constructed along the strike of the vein. A raise from this excavation was encountered during road construction in 2010. Extensive trenching was also completed in 2010, with surface expressions of the vein-indicated, ore-grade material near the surface. Samples assaying between .5 and 1.0 OPT Au were common.

The current drill program will use both R/C and core drilling to help define this structure. Based on surface trenching and projections from the known historic workings, a vein polygon has been established to provide a target zone. This target zone could contain over 200,000 tons of ore-grade material. R/C will be completed first with follow-up core drilling to complete the definition. Once this initial program is complete, data will be used to create an ore model and grade estimate.

The Grant and Hartford vein system daylights (reaches the surface) in First Chance Gulch. This provides an opportunity to access the mineralized structure with very little development work. An exploration drift could be completed along strike and underground drill stations could be established for further definition.

Lead King Vein Structure

The Lead King vein system was mined extensively on the west side of First Chance Gulch. Workings located in the central portion of the gulch indicate ore was excavated to a depth of approximately 75 feet below the bottom of the gulch. One of the primary historic milling facilities was located here. The Lead King had production through the beginning of World War II, with grades averaging .84 OPT Au from 1939 to 1941. The current program will explore the extension below the central and eastern portions down dip of historic excavations.

Return to Table of Contents

A minor amount of drilling was completed here in 2010, and early indications show the structure and grade do continue down dip. The current target area could potentially contain over 125,000 tons of mineralized material.

The Willie system is immediately south of the Lead King structure and historical workings. If sufficient tonnages are defined, extraction drifting would be designed to access both the Willie and Lead King systems.

Willie Vein System

The Willie vein lies just south of the Lead King vein, as set forth previously. The Willie vein was initially drilled during exploration conducted around 1990. GHC has completed both R/C and core drill sampling on the Willie structure. Drill data was used to create an ore solid and grade model.

The current program is designed to extend the Willie down dip and to the east of the current model. This could result in nearly doubling the tonnage from 55,000 tons to over 95,000 tons, adding an additional 14,000 ounces to the reserve estimate. Drilling would be sufficient to bring the majority of the material to a reportable category.

A mine design has been completed for the current Willie model. Mine plans will be adjusted as exploration drilling continues.

International Vein System

The International mineralized zone lies to the east of the Shamrock, Dewey and Nancy Hanks mineralized zones. These zones appear to all lie along the same structural trend. The International is a continuation of this mineralized zone. Several drill holes were completed around 1990. These holes indicate one or more mineralized vein structures continue to the east.

Historic mining was conducted in this area as indicated by surface excavations, a waste dump, and discovery shafts on claim maps. No production data or excavation maps have been located. The initial drill program will target an area with a potential to contain over 145,000 tons of mineralized material using R/C drill sampling. Initial drill results will determine if follow-up drilling is needed to bring the material to a reportable category.

Conclusion

Exploration plans for 2012 will utilize both surface and underground exploration methods. Four known mineralized zones have been selected, based on historic and contemporary data.

Cost for this program is approximately $3 million. Two in-house core rigs and one contractor R/C rig are required for this program. Cost per ounce for surface drilling is less than $10 per ounce and underground exploration in the western extension of the NH3 vein would cost about $45 per ounce.

Return to Table of Contents

Exploration-drifting will be completed by GHC personnel, as well as underground core-sampling, which will use one NQ drill rig for sampling. This portion of the project will take approximately 200 days, once drifting begins.

Surface exploration will take approximately 215 days. GHC will utilize one in-house core rig on the Grant and Hartford vein structure, taking about 120 days to complete. This process will be initiated after R/C drilling is complete and will be adjusted based on initial R/C results. Contractors will be used for all R/C drill-sampling and will take approximately 100 days to complete. Approximately 24,000 feet of R/C drilling is contained in the current program. Additional R/C drilling during the 2102 exploration season will be completed as results are obtained.

NEWLY-ACQUIRED UNPATENTED CLAIMS

As previously stated, in 2011 the Company acquired, by staking and registering, 177 new, unpatented mining claims in Beaverhead, Broadwater, Granite, Jefferson, Madison, Missoula,

Powell and Sanders Counties, Montana. The following is the report from Dr. James W. Sears, which describes the various claim groups.

Report Of James W. Sears, PhD

GRANT HARTFORD CORPORATION
NEW ACQUISITIONS 2011

James W. Sears, PhD

Executive summary:

In 2011, GHC acquired new claim blocks in 21 historical mining districts in western Montana. The mines were all producing gold in 1941, before they were shut down by an executive order from President Roosevelt at the start of World War II. Of thousands of gold mines in western Montana, these shipped the highest grades of gold ore. They are in areas favorable for mineral development in terms of environmental and political factors.

The claim blocks are distributed over seven counties in western Montana, and the gold occurs in five distinct geological settings. Their common elements, however, are that the gold occurs in fissure veins associated with mineral-rich Cretaceous granitic intrusions, and mineralization occurred during the late Cretaceous crustal deformation that produced the Rocky Mountains. Many had associated placer deposits. The veins were only mined in the oxidized zone within 300 feet of the surface, where gold could be separated from oxidized sulfides by gravity. The mines were small operations with limited milling capabilities and limited access to flotation methods. None of the veins were mined out - all were in production in 1941, and the veins continue to depth in all cases, and along strike in many. Most of the mines utilized only marginal geological expertise and very few had exploration drilling programs. The miners followed the veins from surface outcrops without modern engineering plans.

Return to Table of Contents

The claim blocks are in Beaverhead, Granite, Madison, Jefferson, Broadwater, Powell, and Sanders counties. The geological settings include the SW Montana overthrust belt, the Lewis and Clark shear zone, the SW Montana Archean basement, the Boulder batholith, and the Helena salient of the overthrust belt. The entire region was invaded by mineral-rich granitic magma during the late Cretaceous, and the magma interfered with ongoing crustal deformation, often intruding thrust fault planes that became mineralized. Gold-bearing fluids derived from the magma filled veins in fractures associated with the crustal deformation. Typically, the veins occur where the ore fluids quenched near the edges of the granites or in the neighboring country rocks, whether they be Cretaceous volcanics, Paleozoic strata, Proterozoic Belt Supergroup strata, or Archean gneiss or marble. Most of the gold is associated with pyrite and usually occurs with significant silver. Some veins also yield copper, lead, and zinc, depending on the temperature of the original ore-forming fluids, the distance from the granitic source, and the original depth of emplacement of the veins.

This report is organized by county, and gives a short geologic summary of each new claim block. It is mostly based on published articles, theses, geological reports available in various archives, and reconnaissance field work by the author.

BEAVERHEAD COUNTY:

GHC staked three claim blocks in Beaverhead County, in southwestern Montana - the Argenta, Pine Tree, and Star. The Argenta and Pine Tree blocks are in central Beaverhead County, about 15 miles NW of Dillon. They are about one mile apart, in the Rattlesnake Creek basin. The Star block is in northern Beaverhead County, three miles west of Wise River, in the Big Hole River basin.

These claim blocks are all in the border zone of the Pioneer batholith, a late Cretaceous granite that intruded the SW Montana overthrust belt during thrusting and folding. The claims are in thrust plates of the Belt Supergroup and lower Paleozoic strata. Mineralizing fluids followed thrust planes and fractures in overlying thrust plates.

Argenta block:

The Argenta block surrounds or is adjacent to at least 17 small historic mines, including the Jack, Goldfinch, Dutchman, Argenta, Golden Era, Sylvia, Carbonate, Rena, Legal Tender, Midnight, and Mayday mines in the Precambrian quartzite and phyllite, and the Goodview, Groundhog, Governor Tilden, Tuscarora, and Dexter mines in the Paleozoic carbonates. The Golden Era, Midnight, Goldfinch, Rena, and Gladstone produced a combined total of $1,150,000 in gold by 1935. Gold reportedly averaged 0.39 oz/ton. The ultimate source of the ore was an intrusive sill along the underlying Ermont thrust and small sills and dikes that branched from the main sill in an overlying fan of faults and fractures. The Ermont thrust branches from the regionally important Grasshopper thrust, which has numerous associated mines and prospects. Gold occurred in broad parallel shear veins in the Precambrian rocks above the Argenta thrust, while the Paleozoic carbonates below the thrust were dominated by pockety-replacement lead-silver veins with lesser gold. Ore shoots were typical in all rock types.

Return to Table of Contents

Pine Tree claim block:

The Pine Tree block is adjacent to and on trend with the Schaffer group of mines, which produced 16,258 oz of gold as of 1965, with 77,515 oz silver, 10,740 oz copper, 2,583 pounds of lead, and 8,521 pounds of zinc. It is estimated that the group produced a total of $1,500,000 by 1931. There are several thousand feet of underground stopes. Ore bodies paralleled the French Creek bedding-plane thrust fault as replacement lenses in the Devonian Jefferson Dolomite. The French Creek thrust branches from the Grasshopper thrust. Some ore shoots were several hundred feet long and as much as 20 feet thick. The Boaz ore shoot was in the upper Jefferson. It was 200 feet long, trending N25E, dipping 10-30 W. It was 50 feet wide and 3-4 feet thick. The vein had associated pods of andesite sills.

Star block:

The Star block lies near the northern edge of the western part of the Pioneer batholith, in a relationship that suggests that the batholith floors the major Grasshopper overthrust plate in this area. The overthrust places Belt quartzite over Paleozoic limestone. An erosional window through the thrust exposes the underlying Cambrian section just to the north of the Star block

along the Big Hole River. The reaction zone between the Belt quartzites and phyllites, above, and the mineral-rich batholith, below, forms an excellent ground for deposition of ore veins, analogous to the Argenta block, where a sill related to the Pioneer batholith followed a thrust fault and precipitated gold-bearing veins in faults and fractures in the overlying Belt quartzites and phyllites.

GRANITE COUNTY

GHC staked three claim blocks in Granite County, in central western Montana - the Gold Reef, Gold Hill, and Coloma. The Gold Reef and Gold Hill blocks are in central eastern Granite County, about 6 miles SE of Maxville. They are about one mile apart. The Coloma block is in northern Granite County, near Garnet Ghost Town and adjacent to claims previously held by GHC.

The Gold Reef and Gold Hill blocks are in the border zone of the late Cretaceous granite batholiths of the Flint Creek Range, in the northward continuation of the SW Montana overthrust belt and its associated mineral belt. They are basically on trend with the Argenta, Pine Tree, and Star blocks. The Coloma block borders the late Cretaceous Garnet stock where it intrudes Cambrian and Devonian beds. It is within the Lewis and Clark line shear zone, a gold-rich belt that is continuous with the Couer d'Alene silver belt in Idaho.

Gold Reef block:

The Gold Reef block lies in the upper plate of an east-directed thrust that places Precambrian Belt rocks (lower Missoula Group) over Cambrian beds. It is the northward continuation of the Georgetown thrust, which passes into the late Cretaceous Philipsburg batholith three miles to the south. The setting is very similar to that of the Argenta district in Beaverhead County. The Georgetown thrust is equivalent to the Grasshopper thrust of Beaverhead County - both place

Return to Table of Contents

Belt rocks over Paleozoic beds, both are intruded by batholiths, and both have associated gold deposits. The Philipsburg batholith crops out just down slope from the Gold Reef claim block.

Gold Hill block:

The Gold Hill block is in a thrust fault zone that places Belt rocks (upper Missoula Group) and Cambrian beds eastward over a syncline in Devonian and Mississippian beds. The block is on trend with the Gold Reef block, about one mile to the south, and lies on the same thrust plate. The thrust passes southward into the Philipsburg batholith, a late Cretaceous granite with noteable ore deposits on its margins. The thrust plunges off the batholith to the north, so that the rocks of the Gold Hill block represent a higher level of the same structure as seen at the Gold Reef block. The claim block is just west of the Royal stock and Mount Powell batholith.

Coloma block:

GHC filled in a gap in their continuous claims along the contact zone of the Garnet stock from Garnet to Coloma. The claims are thickly forested and soil-covered but are on trend with the gold-rich Nancy Hanks vein system which GHC has drilled extensively in adjacent claim blocks. The veins lie in the granite and in the adjacent Paleozoic rocks.

MADISON COUNTY

GHC staked six claim blocks in Madison County, in southwestern Montana - the Strawberry, Carolina, Corncracker, Latest Out, Red Pine, and Moonlight-White Elephant. The Strawberry, Carolina, Corncracker, Latest Out, and Red Pine blocks are in northern Madison County, east of Twin Bridges. The Moonlight-White Elephant block is in northern Madison County, north of Twin Bridges.

The Strawberry, Carolina, Corncracker, Latest Out, and Red Pine claim blocks are in the Tobacco Root Mountains, and the Moonlight-White Elephant block is in the Highland Mountains. The Strawberry block is in the Pony district in the northern Tobacco Roots, the Carolina and Corncracker are in the Tidal Wave district in the NW Tobacco Roots, and the Red Pine and Latest Out are in the Sheridan district in the SW Tobacco Roots. The areas are in the Archean basement rocks or in directly overlying Paleozoic beds, but are in or near contact zones of late Cretaceous granitic stocks, batholiths, sills, or dikes. So, like the claim blocks in Granite and Beaverhead Counties, the veins in Madison County are associated with the granitic intrusions.

Strawberry block:

The Strawberry block is on the north flank of the Tobacco Root batholith near the historic mining town of Pony. The Strawberry vein is one of series of eight subparallel gold-bearing veins in the Pony gneiss. The veins display mineral zoning, with secondary chalcopyrite near the batholith, and galena and silver farther out. The Strawberry vein is in outer group, and is a lower mesothermal vein. The veins parallel the batholith contact and lie within the gneissic banding of the Pony. The Strawberry vein trends WNW and dips 60 N. In detail, the vein splits and joins, with the highest-grade ore at vein junctions.

Return to Table of Contents

Corncracker block:

The Corncracker is a gold-pyrite quartz fissure vein in the Pony gneiss, associated with aplite and andesite dikes and sills of Cretaceous age. It trends N30E and dips 70E. Gold veins cross into the Paleozoic limestones in the district and are associated with andesite dikes. Corncracker was a consistent producer in Dry Georgia Gulch. It shipped 2,419 oz gold with 2 oz/ton average.

Carolina block:

The Carolina vein trends N30E and dips 30W in a fault zone within the Wolsey shale, on a bedding plane fault. The Wolsey is part of the lower Paleozoic section that directly overlies the Archean basement in this area. A small granite stock and a 2-300' andesite sill, the likely source of the ore fluids, intrudes the trough of the syncline and fault in the Wolsey. The Carolina is a fissure quartz vein, with native gold and auriferous pyrite. Grades were as high as 3 oz/ton gold from fault zone that intersects the vein, as if it were the feeder for the ore-bearing fluid.

Red Pine block:

The Red Pine fissure vein trends N20E to N45E and dips 50NW, and is up to 10 feet thick. It is hosted by Archean Cherry Creek marble at the marble-gneiss contact. All ore shoots are in the marble beds. In addition to gold, the Red Pine vein contained black microcrystalline quartz, pyrite, chalcopyrite rimmed by galena, tetrahedrite, calcite, and graphite. Workings consist of 1,500 feet of cross-cuts and 1,000 feet of drifts. The main ad it is intact.

Latest Out block:

The Latest Out block lies near the southern edge of the Archean basement of the Tobacco Root Mountains in the Sheridan district.

Moonlight-White Elephant block:

This claim block is in the basement of the Highland Mountains across the Jefferson Valley from the Tidal Wave district. It reportedly has 5 shafts that followed small high-grade streaks of gold and silver ore.

JEFFERSON COUNTY

GHC staked three claim blocks in Jefferson County, in central western Montana - the Boulder, Morning Glory, and Hannah (Hocking and Edwards). The claim blocks are in central Jefferson County, north of Basin.

The claim blocks all lie on a NE trend within the north-central part of the Boulder batholith, about 20 miles north of Butte. The Boulder batholith is one of the richest granitic bodies in the world. The Butte mines produced more than two billion dollars worth of ore over more than 100 years of mining. The GHC claim blocks are in the northern mineralized zone of the batholith, which covers a 350 square-mile area and contains hundreds of gold-quartz veins. Most of the veins run approximately east-west, parallel with the main vein systems of the Butte district. The

Return to Table of Contents

GHC claim blocks lie near the contact between the Boulder batholith and the overlying Elkhorn Mountains volcanics - the eruptive cover of the batholith.

Boulder block:

The Boulder block includes three or more fissure veins in the Boulder batholith granite. The veins trend N68W to E-W, and dip steeply. They are 8 inches to 30 feet thick grey quartz veins with free gold, auriferous pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite. The mines in this block produced over 3,000 oz of gold.

The Morning Glory block has four steeply-dipping gold-bearing veins that occur in a band that strikes E-W. Ore shoots are 6 inches to 5 feet wide and 50-100' long. The mine mostly produced silver (268,000 oz), but produced 2,484 oz of gold. It lies at the west end of Comet-Gray Eagle shear zone, with carbonate rather than pyrite gangue.

Hannah (Hocking and Edwards) block:

This is another E-W trending fissure vein system in the Boulder batholith and lies to the north of the Morning Glory. The area was heavily claimed and historically mined. There are two easterly-trending veins. One is 30-foot crushed zone of aplite with 5 feet of pyrite. The gold and silver occur with sphalerite and bismuthite, indicating low temperature mineralization.

BROADWATER COUNTY

GHC staked three claim blocks in Broadwater County, in central western Montana - the Little Giant, Slim Jim (Miller) and Granite Hill. The Little Giant block is in western Broadwater County, seven miles west of Townsend, and the Slim Jim and Granite Hill blocks are in northeastern Broadwater County, northeast of Townsend.

The Little Giant block has a similar setting to the claim blocks in Jefferson County, being in the Elkhorn Mountains, and lies within the Elkhorn Mountains volcanics above the Boulder batholith. The Slim Jim and Granite Hill blocks are in the Big Belt Mountains in the contact zones between Late Cretaceous granitic stocks and the lower part of the Belt Supergroup, in the Helena salient of the Montana overthrust belt.

Little Giant block:

The Little Giant block is in the Hassel Park district. Some quartz fissure veins in the district were 3000 feet long and E-W trending, like those in the Boulder, Morning Glory, and Hannah blocks in Jefferson County. There are four E-W veins and 2 cross-veins in the block. The Little Giant vein parallels the Atlantic vein 300 feet away, and was stoped for 1100 feet. It was 1-8 feet thick. The Atlantic vein was 2-5 feet thick and mined down for 290 feet. The gold occurs with pyrite. The block lies at the contact between Boulder batholith and the Elkhorn Mountains volcanics.

Return to Table of Contents

Slim Jim (Miller) block:

The Slim Jim block is in the northern Big Belts at the head of Confederate Gulch, which produced some 500,000 oz of gold from placer gravel on the Montana bar, two miles to the south. The block is thought to be the mother lode for the placer. The vein trends N35E and dips 20NW and occurs along the contact between a small granitic stock and the Newland Formation of the Belt Supergroup, in a NW trending anticline. The stock is silicified for 1-4 feet and irregular quartz stringers are in the Newland country rock. Native gold is seen in the stock and in veinlets along bedding. Drilling in 1968 and 1969 encountered rich intercepts. The gold occurs with pyrite some chalcopyrite, galena, and sphalerite. A nugget valued at $2200 was mined in 1947, and 9,108 oz of gold was mined from 1901-1948. Drilling indicates that the vein gets richer with depth. There seems to be some extremely rich vein intercepts, but they may not be thick or continuous.

Granite Hill block:

The Granite Hill block is another site in the Big Belt Mountains where a small late Cretaceous stock contacts the Belt Supergroup. It occupies the main anticline of Big Belts, with several local Cretaceous sills in the Newland Formation. There was reportedly an open cut and underground mine.

POWELL COUNTY

GHC staked two claim blocks in Powell County, in central western Montana - the Zosell and Gray blocks. The Zosell block is in southern Powell County, seven miles east of Deer Lodge, and the Gray block is in central Powell County, 10 miles north of Avon.

The Zosell block is in the western Elkhorn Mountains, and has a similar setting to the claim blocks in Jefferson County, in volcanics above the Boulder batholith. The Gray block is in the Swan Range in the contact zone between a small Late Cretaceous granitic intrusion and the lower part of the Missoula Group, in the Lewis and Clark line shear zone.

Zosell block:

The Zosell district produced $2 M of gold, silver and lead by 1953. GHC claimed parts of the Hidden Hand, Bull Moose, Blackeyed May, Emma Darling, Mountain Chief, Bertha May, Harrison, Elizabeth, and Little Emery veins and the extension of the Swan vein. The Hidden Hand/Bertha May/Bonanza /Bell vein was mined for one mile. It follows the trace of a west-directed thrust that dips gently east in possible Elhorn Mountains volcanics. Its average thickness was 2.5 feet, but it was narrow on steep steps, wider on shallow steps of the thrust. The vein was mined to a depth of 650 feet on a 30 degree incline with 9000 feet of drifts. It was lead-silver ore, with gold. It occurred on a brecciated shear zone cemented by quartz in bleached silicified volcanics.

The Blackeyed May, Emma Darling and Mountain Chief are steep E-W veins like those in Jefferson County. The Blackeyed May vein was 8-10" thick and rich in gold, with silver and lead. The Emma Darling vein was 1/2 mi long and 2-7 feet wide and was the best producing vertical vein in the district.

Gray block:

The Gray block lies within the Lewis and Clark line shear zone near a small granitic stock that intruded the Belt Supergroup. It is in the footwall of a large normal fault that raises the Swan Range above the Swan Valley. It is one of a family of gold lodes associated with small granite intrusions in the Lewis and Clark line, lying between the rich Garnet district and the Drumlummon Mine at Marysville. A tunnel in rich gold ore was active in 1941. There were placer workings downstream of the lode deposit in Washington and American creeks.

SANDERS COUNTY

GHC staked one claim block in Sanders County, in northwestern Montana - the Ambassador block. The block is in northwestern Sanders County, five miles SW of Trout Creek, Montana.

The Ambassador block is in the northwestern Bitterroot Mountains, between the Hope fault zone and the Lewis and Clark line shear zone. It lies in Granite Creek on the crest of a broad NNE-plunging anticline. A number of granitic satellite stocks of the Idaho batholith follow the axis of the anticline. The block is in greenish-gray argillite and quartzite of the Prichard Formation in the lower part of the Belt Supergroup, adjacent to several granitic dikes and a small granitic stock of late Cretaceous age. The anticline is cut by steep NW-trending faults associated with the Hope fault zone. It is 15 miles north of the rich lead-silver mines of the CDA district in Idaho.

Ambassador block:

Placer gold found in Granite Creek was derived from the quartz veins in the Ambassador district. Five NW-trending quartz veins have been reported at the surface. Free gold was reported to have been seen in all veins. Two main quartz veins produced gold in the Ambassador district. The Lulu vein trends N45W and dips 45-53 N, and pinches and swells in a mineralized fault zone that assays quite high in gold, with silver and lead, with galena and pyrite. The Wanda vein strikes almost E-W and dips 45 N, and occupies a granitic stock. It is a silicified shear zone about 10 inches wide. The average grade of gold ore from the Ambassador mines was 0.41 oz/ton. The Lulu vein was most productive. The GHC claims lie along the trend of the Lulu vein just to the NW of the granitic stock. A geological report in 1952 concluded that the mineral potential was better in the Prichard Formation with distance from the contact of the granitic stock.

2012 Projected Exploration Plans For Newly-Acquired Claims

We intend to focus all of our efforts on the development of the Nancy Hanks Mine in 2012 and therefore have no specific plans for the exploration of the newly-acquired claims. GHC will investigate, however, the possibilities of entering into strategic alliances with other companies for the cooperative exploration and possible development of one or more of the newly-acquired projects.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Competition

In general, the mineral development industry is intensely competitive and even if commercial quantities of proven/probable gold ore reserves are identified and prepared for extraction, a ready market may not exist for the sale of unprocessed, mined gold ore.

We were incorporated on March 15, 2007. Many larger companies operating in our industry are more established and have greater resources to engage in the production of mineral claims. At the present time, our resources are limited. There is significant competition between mining companies to hire and retain qualified personnel and to acquire underground mining equipment.

These factors could inhibit our ability to develop and mine proven and probable reserves of gold ore.

Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any future identified proven/probable reserves. These factors include but are not limited to: market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of reserves and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in our inability to receive an adequate return on our invested capital.

Compliance with Government Regulation

Our Small Miner Exclusion Statement (#46-032) allows us to construct and operate a milling facility and mine an unlimited amount of material subject to a surface disturbance of less than five acres.

We are undertaking a study to expand our Small Miner Exclusion Statement to an Operating Permit that would allow us to expand our mine operations beyond a surface disturbance area of five acres though we cannot be certain that such approvals will be obtained.

The primary agency that governs the exploration and mining of reserves identified in the future, in the state of Montana on private lands is the Montana Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ"). The U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") manages the exploration, development and production of Montana's mineral resources on federally-owned lands, and implements policies and programs respecting their exploration, development and production, while at the same time protecting the environment.

Exploration, development and production of unpatented mining claims is regulated by the BLM. The exploration, development and production of patented mining claims is regulated by the DEQ.

Activities such as trenching and drilling require us to post a reclamation bond calculated by the amount of surface disturbance. The bond is refundable upon a BLM and/or DEQ inspector's determination that the exploration program has completed the required reclamation.

Return to Table of Contents

Historic mining activities took place throughout the Garnet area from 1880 to 1941. However, no known contamination issues from this time have been found to date. Surface and groundwater sampling programs have confirmed this statement. No surface disturbance issues have been carried over from the previous mining activities on the property. Historic dumps from the Lead King Mine area are currently being screened and shipped for processing. The area will be recontoured and revegetated after completion. All current operations are monitored and bonded with the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and/or the Bureau of Land Management and reclamation is completed immediately upon the completion of the task.

The BLM governs the procedures involved in the location, staking, recording and payment of maintenance fees of unpatented lode claims and placer claims in Montana. The BLM and the DEQ monitor and regulate all mineral exploration, development and production carried out on unpatented and patented mining claims in Montana. Their oversight applies to all mines during exploration, development, construction, production, closure, reclamation and abandonment. Additionally, the United States Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA"), and Mine Safety and Health Administration ( "MSHA"), and Montana's Workers' Compensation Regulations Bureau have provisions for employment standards, occupational health and safety, accident investigation, workplace conditions, protective equipment, training programs, and site supervision. There are also federal and state statutes regarding water use and discharge.

We sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation for all exploration work undertaken. Both reclamation and environmental remediation refer to putting disturbed ground back as close to its original state as possible. Reclamation is the process of bringing the land back to its original natural state after completion of exploration activities. Environmental remediation refers to the physical activity of taking steps to remediate, or remedy, any environmental damage caused, such as refilling trenches after sampling or cleaning up fuel spills. At the date of this Form 10-K, we have posted bonds totaling $88,757 with $342 unobligated for our Exploration License No. 00545, and $15,800.92 for our Prospecting Permit, with the DEQ for our 2011 exploration program. A portion of these bonds will be rolled over to additional work in the 2012 season.

Geological and Mining Expenditures

From inception through December 31, 2011, we have incurred a total of $6,690,786 in geological and mining expenditures, which are made up of: $4,291,468 for mine development expenses on the Garnet Mineral Property, $1,491,161 for drilling expenses on the Garnet Mineral Property,

$134,627 for licenses and permits on the Garnet Mineral Property, $68,901 for materials and supplies used in the geology and mining operations on the Garnet Mineral Property, $157,126 for sample testing on the Garnet Mineral Property, $545,303 for labor relating to the exploration of the Garnet Mineral Property, and $2,200 for reclamation expenses on the Garnet Mineral Property.

Subsidiaries

The Company has neither formed, nor purchased any subsidiaries since the date of its incorporation.

Patents and Trademarks

The Company does not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.

Market Information

According to the World Gold Council, total identifiable gold demand was 4,067.1 metric tonnes (mt) in 2011, a 0.4% increase over the year. Gold for jewelry demand accounted for 1,962.9 mt of the total, a decrease of 3% over the year. Gold for investment demand was 1,640.7 mt of total production, an increase of 5% over the year and gold for industrial demand was 330.4 mt of total production, an increase of 1.1%. Gold mine production reached 2,809.5 mt in 2011, a 4% increase over the year and gold recycling produced 1,611.9 mt, a decrease of 2% over the year.

The price of gold is set in daily trading sessions at metal exchanges throughout the world. Gold smelted to a fineness of .995 is considered pure and qualified to sell at the metal exchanges.

Revenue Strategy

During 2011, we shipped 32,339.945 tons of mine and mill tailings from the site of the historic Lead King Mill at the Company's Garnet property. These tailings were trucked to the Golden Sunlight Mill in Whitehall, Montana, for processing. The Golden Sunlight Mill assayed each truck load of mill tailings it received. It paid the Company for 100% of the contained gold up to 0.07 ounces per ton and 75% of the contained gold over 0.07 ounces per ton. The price of gold was determined at the London Metals Exchange PM closing price on the 5th of each month for all production that occurred in the previous calendar month. By this method, the Company's 32,339.945 tons were determined to contain 1,543.727 ounces of gold of which GHC was paid by the Golden Sunlight Mill a gross amount of $2,683,992 based on an average sale price of $1,738 per ounce. Deductions were made for the Golden Sunlight Mill fee of $770,334, screening, loading and trucking of $1,361,547, and the Net Smelter Return payable of $83,001, resulting in a net revenue of $469,110.

The Company anticipates revenue from three sources in 2012:

	1.	The shipping of mineralized material from the historic Lead King Mine to the Golden Sunlight Mill similar to the 2011 details above,
	2.	The shipping of 2,000 tons of gold ore mined from the Nancy Hanks Mine located at the Company's Garnet property to the Golden Sunlight Mill similar to the 2011 details above, and
	3.	The processing of 3,200 tons of gold ore mined from the Nancy Hanks Mine at a proposed onsite concentration mill. This mill is intended to produce gold and silver dore bars that can be typically sold to a precious metal refinery for 98% of gold and silver spot price.

Equipment, Materials and Suppliers

We engage various firms on an as-needed basis to assist us with pad construction, reclamation, mining equipment and drilling supplies, reverse circulation drilling, water resource baseline studies, mill and tailings pond location and survey, drill hole survey and mapping, mill feasibility and engineering and assay.

Government Approval and Regulation

We currently hold a Small Miners Exclusion Statement (#46-032) which has been issued by the State of Montana. There is no annual fee associated with this permit. We also currently hold an Exploration License (#00545), which has been issued by the State of Montana. The annual cost of this permit is $25. In August 2010, we applied for an extension for our Prospecting Permit (MTN 100723) which was renewed on February 28, 2011. This permit allows GHC to conduct exploration on BLM owned patented mining claims. The review process for the Prospecting Permit totals $9,545 and $15,801 is held by the BLM for this permit. In addition, we have bonded a drilling and exploration program with the DEQ and the BLM. The bond amounts total $88,757 of which $342 is unobligated.

APPENDIX "A" TO 2011-12 ANNUAL REPORT

Grant Hartford Corporation claim blocks:
Garnet Mining District
Granite County, Montana

James W. Sears
Updated February, 2012
from 2011 report

Introduction:

Detailed geologic mapping at 1" = 300', completed in 2011, clarified the positions, displacements and orientations of several important fault zones and refined the understanding of the stratigraphy of the bedrock units that host several of the gold veins in the Garnet district.

Grant-Hartford's 2008-2010 exploration drilling program explored the Nancy Hanks vein system and the Willie vein system.

In 2011, the emphasis was on beginning the excavation of an access drift in the hanging wall of the Nancy Hanks veins system, and in preparing the needed infrastructure to manage the mine. The 12X13 foot access drift was completed to a linear distance of 400 feet.

The drilled reserves constitute less than 1/10 of the mapped strike-lengths of the Nancy Hanks and Willie vein systems, and at most include only the upper 500 feet of those structures. Drilling in the Tostman claim to the west, and International claim to the east, while not spaced closely enough to define reserves, intersected the continuations of the Nancy Hanks vein structure with gold values consistent with our proven ore blocks.

Return to Table of Contents

Composite cross section of Deep Creek anticline showing that all veins and granite sheets are confined to the northeast limb of the anticline. Abbreviations for rock units: pCgr - Garnet Range Formation, Csh - Silver Hill Formation, Cm - Meagher Dolomite, Cpa - Park Shale, Cpi - Pilgrim Dolomite, Crl - Red Lion Formation, Dm - Maywood Formation, Dj - Jefferson Dolomite, Kgr - Cretaceous granite. Red dashed lines are gold-bearing quartz veins.

In addition, we have mapped five sister veins between the Nancy Hanks and Willie veins. These historically-mined veins - the Cascade, Mountain View, Tiger, Grant-Hartford, and Lead King - sub-parallel the Nancy Hanks and Willie veins, and are spaced from a few hundred to a thousand feet apart. Geologic analysis and historic mining records indicate that these veins share similar grades, sources, mineralogic textures, trends, and structural habits. Historic mines on these veins averaged one ounce of gold per ton, according to shipping records.

We have not determined the down-dip limits of our designated veins, but a deep test hole that we drilled in 2010 intersected mineralization of 0.25 ounces per ton (OPT) in a vein at 900 feet. We think that the seven veins branch outward from a common source at depth in the Garnet granite stock, and that the ultimate source could be thousands of feet deep.

In addition to the veins near Garnet, we have contiguous claims across a down-faulted outlier of the vein systems on the southeast side of the Day Gulch fault. We have not yet mapped this area in detail, but there are several historic lode mines and rich placer mines in the outlier, and preliminary analysis indicates that the veins have the same geologic genesis as the ones near Garnet. A new set of steep veins trending NE were discovered in this area, in contrast to the NW trending, moderately-dipping veins in the area around Garnet. Additional veins were historically mined to the west at Coloma, where we also have exploration rights, but we have not yet studied these veins in detail.

The historic miners could mill only oxidized ore, where pyrite had weathered to iron oxide. They could separate this free gold with sluice boxes, but they lacked the technology to mill the unweathered, sulfide-associated gold ore. The historically mined oxidized ore is restricted to the upper 300 feet of the veins; none of the old mines go any deeper. Our drilling program has intersected mineralized material beyond the ends of the historic stopes and tunnels. We also have drilled mineralized area left behind by the old miners, adjacent to the rich veins that they had hand-cobbed.

Our proven reserves represent only 1500 feet of total vein strike-length in a district with a minimum of 30,000 feet of mapped vein strike-length. It also only represents the upper 500 feet or less of the veins. Furthermore, the Grant-Hartford, Lead King, and Willie veins occur within the Garnet Range quartzite, and occupy the crest of the Deep Creek anticline, which plunges northwest, and it is reasonable to expect each of the veins to continue to the northwest along the anticlinal crest for some 4000 linear feet. It is geologically feasible that the reserves represent 5% or less of the gold resources that might ultimately be mined in the Garnet district. The resources near Coloma and east of Day Gulch would add significantly to that estimation.

New geologic mapping:

The WGM Group produced a detailed LIDAR topographic base map of the Garnet district for Grant-Hartford Corporation. The scale is 1"=300', and the contour interval is 2 feet. We conducted detailed geologic mapping on this base map during the 2010 and 2011 field seasons.

The excellent resolution of the base map clearly defines abandoned mine dumps, prospect pits, trenches, and placer workings throughout the Garnet district. This resolution, augmented by modern GPS technology, permitted a much more precise geologic map to be completed than was possible with the older USGS 1"=2000' quadrangle maps. The map also supported systematic field observations of abandoned mines and prospecting sites.

The improved geologic mapping better defined the distribution of stratigraphic and granitic rock units, their structure, and their relationship to gold-bearing quartz veins. Stratigraphic units were subdivided and accurately mapped to enhance understanding of the fault zones that controlled vein distribution and orientation. Geologic mapping in 2011 concentrated on the eastward continuation of the vein trends.

The mining and prospecting sites permitted the tracing of individual mineralized veins across wide areas and revealed veins that are otherwise hidden by soil and vegetation. Locating collapsed portals, raises, and ventilation shafts in the field allowed us to accurately pinpoint features shown on historical maps. This allowed us to verify the historical map data and to rectify it for importation into the Vulcan 3-D mining software. It also allowed us to verify assay values reported on historic maps and reports.

Furthermore, the LIDAR map allows us to calibrate the extent of tunneling and stoping in old abandoned mines for which there are no reliable published data. We can compare the volumes of dumps of known mines to those of unknown mines, and estimate how much ore was stoped out of a given vein. For example, this method indicates that most mines only penetrated a few hundred feet laterally into the sides of First Chance Gulch, and that on the northeast side of the gulch the Grant-Hartford vein was barely touched.

In addition, 2010 and 2011 road excavations and trenches exposed the historically-productive Grant-Hartford vein. Study of the vein structures and their relation to the district geology improved our understanding of the timing, structural control, and systematic nature of the veins.

The field work was done in conjunction with systematic reverse-circulation and core drilling, sampling, assaying, and 3-D analysis using Vulcan software, so that we were able to tie drilling results into geologic mapping to define the 3-D nature of the veins of interest.

The new mapping also constrained the construction of an accurate cross-section of the Willie, Lead King, Grant-Hartford, Tiger, and Nancy Hanks veins and their relationship to the strata of the Deep Creek anticline and Garnet granite.

The new work delineated the seven distinct vein systems within the central part of the nearly 4,000 acres of the Grant-Hartford Corporation Garnet district properties. The veins dip toward the north and are sub-parallel to one-another. They systematically cut the north flank and crest of

Return to Table of Contents

the Deep Creek anticline, and fill fault zones that shifted during the late stages of folding of the anticline. Most veins are associated with thin granite sheets or the main body of Garnet granite.

New observations on vein structures:

The detailed mapping allowed us to find exposures of gold-bearing veins in situ and to determine their internal textures, their relationship to fault structures and bedding, and their timing of emplacement. All of these aspects are critical to predicting the orientation, location, and continuity of veins in the subsurface. Previously, most descriptions of the veins referred exclusively to observations that US Geological Survey geologist J. Pardee made in 1916 when many of the mines were still open and accessible.

The outcrop observations of veins aid in the interpretation of reverse-circulation drilling results, where samples consist of small rock chips that lack orientations and are mixed through five-foot intervals. They also help to orient core-drilling samples where the dip of bedding can be determined at the surface and calibrated to the angle of bedding at the top of the core samples.

We cut 6 trenches and made a road cut across the GH vein system on the west side of First Chance Gulch. The trenches revealed that the vein system includes two or more main strands as well as cross-veins that are oriented in the fashion of ladder veins. The veins are consistent with extensional dilation in a southwest-directed reverse fault zone.

In the Grant-Hartford gold-quartz vein system, the samples ran about 0.5 OPT gold. Curving and cross-cutting veins line fractures in the host rock at odd angles to bedding. The host rock is a quartzite breccia formed from brittle breakage along a fault zone. The host rock had sufficient strength to maintain cavities as the sides of the irregular fault surface shifted and opened vugs. Quartz crystals grew inward from the sides of fractures into the cavities. The cavities were filled with fluid that helped hold them opened. That fluid contained dissolved elements that precipitated into stable minerals that grew inward, allowing terminated crystals to form.

Quartz crystals completely seal parts of the veins, but other parts remain open. Pyrite cubes also grew freely in the open spaces, but in some cases replaced pre-existing host minerals that dissolved due to the chemical activity of the fluid. The fluid also carried dissolved gold that precipitated with the quartz and pyrite as the fluid temperature dropped and gold became insoluble.

We discovered the continuation of the Willie vein on the NW side of the canyon from where the historic open cut on the vein was excavated, and where we had concentrated our previous drilling. We hypothesize that the vein should continue down the plunge of the Deep Creek anticline to the northwest, beneath the Cambrian beds.

Multiple episodes of fluid injection occurred so that the veins are banded and complexly criss-crossing. The fluid pressure sought out the fault zone because of its increased permeability and at the same time enabled further faulting by hydro-fracturing. Some fluid injections were more auriferous than others. The entire veining process took place at depths of about 18,000 feet, based on the thickness of the overlying sedimentary column at the time of injection, and on the

Return to Table of Contents

pressure-sensitive metamorphic mineral assemblages near the Garnet granite. Therefore, the fluid pressures were exceedingly high, in excess of 2000 bars. The samples are rusty red and yellow due to the oxidation of microscopic pyrite to hematite and limonite. Some rusty crystals with square outlines are hematite psuedomorphs after pyrite. The individual veins are a few inches to a foot thick, but the assemblage of veins may be ten or more feet thick.

The Grant-Hartford vein system is strongly sheared along a smooth fault surface. The fault has a reverse sense of movement that offsets stratigraphic contacts by 30 feet on the crest of the Deep Creek anticline. The fault movement crushed and pulverized the crystals so that no crystal faces are preserved. Rather, the quartz is crumbly and fractured and can be dug out with a pick. The fault is very planar, and with trenching, we traced it across 600 feet and down 300 feet of the valley side with no change in its attitude or character. It usually coincided with an irregular quartz vein, but other veins nearby were not crushed. It represents a single brittle slip surface that post-dated the emplacement of the gold-quartz veins - the last phase of movement on the fault zone.

The crushed vein was deeply weathered and red-stained, evidently because water had circulated along the permeable crushed zone. The crushed part of the vein assayed 0.56 to 1.5 OPT in channel samples taken along 12 foot dip-segments.

The vein also coincides with a thin granite sheet that branches from the main Garnet granite. The thin granite sheet is locally sheared, indicating that it intruded the fault zone and that the fault moved before the granite completely cooled. The granite sheet occupied the same fault channel-way that the gold-bearing fluids later exploited, as the broken rock provided cross-stratal permeability. The fault moved before the main Garnet granite body intruded, because the degree of contact metamorphism in given beds differs on the upper and lower sides of the fault. The thin granitic sheet also predated emplacement of the main body of granite.

Close examination and detailed mapping shows that the other vein systems in the Garnet district also followed fault zones. The faults were geometrically related to the Deep Creek anticline, so that they and the veins have predictable geometry discernible from geological mapping.

The gold-quartz veins have a close spatial association with the granite intrusions in the district. The Nancy Hanks vein system occupies the border zone of the main granite body. The Lead King, Grant-Hartford, Mountain View, Tiger, and Cascade veins are all associated with thin granite sheets that branch from the main granite body. The deep level of the main granite body was also the source of the gold, so the entire vein system is genetically linked to the emplacement of the granite. The intrusion of the granite was confined by the Deep Creek anticline, which folded before, during, and after the magma was injected.

Return to Table of Contents

Deep Creek anticline and Garnet granite stock:

The thin granite sheets and main granite body itself are confined to the northeast side of the Deep Creek anticline, as shown in Figure 2. The fault along the Grant-Hartford vein system is in the core of the anticline and is mechanically related to the fold. After the fold and fault first began to form, the granites intruded. Then the veins were emplaced from deeper in the granite. Finally, the anticline and fault moved again and sheared the veins.

Importantly, the veins are part and parcel of the large Deep Creek anticline structure. The structure of the anticline controlled the structure of the veins.

The new mapping further clarified the geometry of the Deep Creek anticline and its geometric relation to the Garnet granite stock.

The anticline has a steep southwest limb, a broad top, and a moderately-dipping northeast limb. The anticline is one of the major folds of the Lewis and Clark line, and has been mapped for 15 miles, from the Garnet area southeast to Drummond. A dome-shaped culmination of the fold occurs in the area near Garnet.

The Willie, Lead King, and Grant-Hartford veins occur within the quartzites of the Precambrian Garnet Range Formation in the core of the anticline. They are more singular and planar than the veins in the Garnet granite or those in other rock types, because the quartzite was structurally stronger during the folding, faulting, and vein emplacement.

The veins terminate at the contact with the Cambrian beds at the top of the Garnet Range quartzites. It appears that the Cambrian sedimentary rocks formed a cap seal for the upward migration of the hydrothermal fluids that carried the gold. The gold-bearing fluids may have been trapped in the anticline in the quartzites and accumulated there rather than passing out of the system and being disseminated in the Cambrian beds. If so, then it is possible that the gold-bearing veins were enriched in the fractures in the quartzite, and the veins could continue along the trend of the anticline for some 4000 feet to the northwest of the exposures of the veins along First Chance Gulch. The veins would underlie the Cambrian rocks in this area at a depth of 500 to 1000 feet and would not be exposed.

Previous work had shown that the northwest-plunging Deep Creek anticline was intruded on its northern flank by the Garnet stock. The formations in contact with the granodiorite include silty quartzites of the upper Proterozoic Garnet Range Formation (Missoula Group), vitreous Cambrian Flathead Quartzite, shales and silty carbonates of the Cambrian Wolsey Shale, dolomites and gray limestone of the Cambrian Meagher Limestone, poorly exposed Cambrian Park Shale, light colored dolomite and limestone of the Cambrian Pilgrim Formation, thin-bedded limestones and calcareous shales of the Cambrian Red Lion and Devonian Maywood Formations and black, carbonaceous limestones and dolomites of the Devonian Jefferson Formation.

Return to Table of Contents

Contact metamorphism altered the sedimentary rocks within 1000 feet of the contact with the Garnet stock. Limestones became coarsely crystalline marbles, impure carbonates and silty shales became garnet-epidote-diopside skarns, Cambrian shales became black hornfels, and silty quartzites grew biotite-cordierite clots creating the distinctive spotted hornfels that district miners called "birdseye porphyry".

The contact of the Garnet stock is moderately north-dipping and conforms to bedding. North-dipping sills occur in the sedimentary rocks near the Garnet stock contact.

Mineralized quartz vein zones dip 30 to 50 degrees north, subarallel with the contact of the Garnet stock, some are within the stock, others within the country sedimentary rocks. These veins were responsible for an estimated 150,000 ounces of gold production from the historical operators of the Garnet and Coloma mines, as well as for much of the estimated 500,000 ounces of placer gold from nearby creeks, which were obtained during the pre- 1942 historical mining period of the region.

Four major vein systems are present in the Garnet District. All four strike generally east-west, and dip at shallow to moderate angles toward the north. The most northerly of these is the Nancy Hanks system which includes the International, Shamrock, Dewey, and Nancy Hanks veins. These veins occur within the granodiorite, or along the contact with marbles and shales of the Jefferson, Red Lion, and Maywood Formations. The vein systems are anastomosing networks of north-dipping veins and veinlets, with abundant subhorizontal ladder veinlets cutting the granodiorite between the main veins. The veins and veinlets are predominantly milky white or clear quartz with minor calcite and/or ankerite. Up to 2% pyrite can be found in the veins, but trace amounts are more typical. Away from the major veins, the granodiorite is strongly propylitized for a few inches up to several feet with minor amounts of disseminated pyrite.

The Late Cretaceous Garnet stock sourced the Garnet-Coloma veins. The stock, the 3rd or 4th richest of a family of mineralization-bearing satellite plutons of the Boulder batholith, intruded the Lewis and Clark line, a major shear zone that crosses the western Montana Rocky Mountains. The recently re-opened Drumlummon mine near Helena is a sister mineralized deposit, of the same age, vein structure, and setting within the Lewis and Clark line as the Garnet district. The Drumlummon mine, however, occupies a deeper structural level than the Garnet district; it was exposed by faulting and erosion. We know this because the granite associated with the Drumlummon veins intrudes a rock formation that lies about 5000 feet deeper in the stratigraphic section than the rock formations at Garnet. Furthermore, the mineral zonation at

Drumlummon indicates a deeper and hotter equilibrium temperature than we find at Garnet. We infer that the source of the veins at Garnet may correlate with the Drumlummon veins, and therefore, the veins at Garnet may extend to significant depth below the present surface.

Conclusion:

In spite of its historical productivity, the mineralized material in the Garnet-Coloma district have only barely begun to be explored with systematic surveying, geologic mapping, drilling, assaying, and subsurface modeling. The results from our 2008-2010 drilling program indicate that we can now continue preparation of the proposed underground mining activities. We have

Return to Table of Contents

designated several vein systems of interest whose boundaries extend in three directions beyond the reaches of our drillstems in 2010. Structural analysis indicates that the gold-bearing veinsemanated from the Garnet stock as part of a regional system of structural features, and are therefore geometrically systematic.

Geologic mapping and analysis suggests that our proven gold reserves comprise less than 5% of the gold resources that may ultimately be recovered by underground lode mining.

2010 SYNOPSIS OF MINING HISTORY, AND EXPLORATION
REPORT AND PLANS FOR 2011

Garnet Historical Owners and Operators

The historical owners of the Garnet mineral property were: Cordoba Corporation and Garnet Mining between 1989 and 2007, both entities were owned and controlled by Aaron Charlton. Pegasus was a mid size gold producing company in the 1980's and mid 1990's that optioned the Garnet Property from Garnet Mining Inc. and Cordoba Corporation, between 1989 and 1993.

Garnet Mining History

The following is a brief history of previous operations, including, insofar as known, the names and dates of previous operators: Between 1896 and 1942, geological reports indicate that the Nancy Hanks, Shamrock, Lead King, Dewey, International and Tiger mines, to identify a few, were active on the Garnet property. The year of 1942 marked the beginning of World War II, causing mining to cease until the 1960's when Anaconda Corporation began its exploration programs on portions of the Garnet Property. From 1966 to 1971, American Mining Corporation owned and conducted its own exploration on the Garnet Property. Western Energy Corporation, a mining exploration subsidiary of the Montana based power utility, Montana Power Company, conducted exploration of the Garnet Property from 1987 to 1989.

In Pegasus' exploration of the Garnet Property they identified mineralized material in two of our mining claims that are under option through Commonwealth. Subsequently, we have used these previous exploration results from the Nancy Hanks and Dewey patented claims, as a basis for our initial 2008 exploration plans. Several of the following excerpts and summarizations from the "Garnet Project Summary, December 1992," prepared by Pegasus ("1992 Report") and the "Mineral Property Valuation, Garnet and Copper Cliff Mining Districts," prepared by John C. Brower, Ph.D. ("1999 Report") are provided and outline the Pegasus operations on the Garnet Property. Dr. Brower has declined to provide his consent to use this information to us, due to the age of the report, which is dated September 1999, and the fact that a third party entity commissioned Dr. Brower to prepare the report, thus he does not own the report. We adopted these geological conclusions as our own and direct investors to review the Risk Factor titled, "Non-Consent to Use Geological Reports," in this Form 10-K.

"Between December, 1989, and December 1992, Pegasus conducted an exploration program covering over 22 square miles and employing airborne magnetics, IP, and resistivity surveys. Drill targets were defined using geologic mapping, [and] rock, soil and trench geochemistry. Fourteen targets were drill tested with 147 reverse circulation holes (47,601 feet), and six core holes (1,710 feet)." This exploration program designated mineralized material located in "the Nancy Hanks deposit using 16 north-south cross sections," and reported "tonnages for 129 polygonal blocks on these cross sections as defined by intercepts in 43 reverse circulation drill holes, nine trenches, and three core holes." These calculations resulted in a resource estimate of 3.2 million tons, with an average grade of 0.04 ounces AU per ton.

The 1999 Report further discusses the Pegasus exploration plan and states that the "...Dewey/Nancy Hanks and Cascade zones were constructed by Pegasus, showing drill holes and intercepts of" mineralized material and other geology. Pegasus completed their calculations "manually by drawing polygons on the cross sections, and with polygon cross sectional areas determined by using planimeters. Polygons were then extended halfway to the adjacent cross section to determine volume and tonnage." Pegasus created Ninety-three blocks on ten cross sections.

"The approach employed by Pegasus is suitable as a first approximation, early indication type of estimate, to determine whether enough gross grade and tonnage is present to merit further work, but is far too generalized for feasibility decisions. More sophisticated analytical techniques using computer models can reveal ore grades and gross tonnages that differ significantly from first approximations. They can be substantially higher or lower, due to more selective designation of what is ore and what waste, which can subsequently expand is or contract mineable zones." The 1999 Report goes on to suggest that John C. Brower used "the drill hole data from Pegasus in computer mine modeling, namely the commonly used proprietary programs SURPAC and THREE-D SURPAC to generate a mine block model, in this case with user defined mine blocks 100 feet square and 50 feet high. Modeling utilized 62 drill holes in the Dewey/Nancy Hanks area and 17 in the Magone & Anderson, with an average spacing of 250 feet apart." The 1999 Report's "prefeasibility model was based on a 6-year mine life, followed by two years of reclamation," and prescribed the removal of 6,972,000 short tons of designated mineralized material which had an average grade of "0.086 troy ounces per short ton."

Results from the Pegasus Exploration Plan, which were further interpreted by the 1999 Report, as well as numerous other reports and data, were the basis for GHC's initial exploration plans. The majority of the historical exploration activities were designed to define mineralized material for future open pit mining activities. Through our exploration activities we have begun to gain a more in depth understanding of our mineralized deposits, and have begun to target the vein structures for possible underground mining operations.

Geological Reports on our Property.

We have obtained an independent Geological Report, prepared by Thomas J. Peters, a Consulting Geologist for Grant Hartford Corporation. Thomas J. Peters is a geologist residing in Spokane, Washington. Mr. Peters obtained a Masters degree in Geology from Bowling Green State University, Ohio in 1969. Mr. Peters is also a licensed geologist with the State of Washington. His Geological Report was prepared upon the review of all available historic exploration and mining data compiled on the 23 patented and 122 unpatented mining claims in the Garnet and Coloma Mining Districts. Partially based on the results of this report, we acquired an exclusive option to purchase these mineral rights through an Option Agreement with Commonwealth

Excerpts From:

GEOLOGIC EXAMINATION OF THE ECONOMIC POTENTIAL FOR GOLD MINING
At The GARNET AREA GOLD MINING PROPERTY
By Thomas J. Peters, Geologist, WA License No. 2002
April 12, 2007

"The 5-mi2 Area, 23 patented and 122 located 20-acre claims, 50 mi east of Missoula, Montana includes the Garnet and Coloma mining districts, perched on the northwest-trending Garnet Range, dividing the Clark Fork and Blackfoot River drainages."

INTRODUCTION

"This report is an independent consultant's prospectus carried out at the behest of the Grant Hartford Corporation of Missoula, Montana, on the Garnet (gold prospect) Area. Area as used here represents all private property and claims, patented, located, and optioned, under the control of Grant Hartford. This "Area" includes the historic Garnet Mining District as well as the ghost town of Garnet. Formerly operating mines in the area includes the Nancy Hanks, Dewey, Grant & Hartford, Cascade, Shamrock, Tiger, Lead King, Red Cloud and others."

"Opinions expressed are based on two days of meeting with company partners and a day examining the site, April 12, 2007; however, the Garnet Area is well documented by an extensive amount of good quality information. This examination has been carried out on a "for fee" basis, and the author has no financial interest in the Grant Hartford Company or the Garnet Area property. Under 1889 mining law, districts are not a property, but an organization representing a cluster of mines and infrastructures resulting from mining and economic activity around a locus of exploitable metallic mineralization. The Garnet district includes several mines, the available information, both published and unpublished, was generated by organized, well financed corporate mineral exploration programs or documented in detail by competent professionals."

"This is an economically interesting gold prospect, and there are outstanding possibilities for a very profitable gold mining operation while gold prices show great strength at over $650 per oz troy. Today's mining is safer, more efficient and environmentally friendly. Current technology offers a start up mining company mechanical, financial and intellectual agility. Gold is especially interesting because it's a high value, low tonnage commodity, and mining can be carried out at various scales of operations. Today, as in the early 1980's when gold prices spiked, if one walks up the creeks of Montana, California, and other western states, they are apt to find a suction dredge hidden in the reeds and brush, providing the intermittent placer miner much profit."

"A pivotal question remains regarding the gold source antecedent to mineralization within tactite, quartz veins, mylonite, fault gouge, and disseminations by hydrothermal alteration of various rock types, because it effects occurrence of additional resources. Possibilities include an abyssal source of hydrothermal gold, leached gold from younger source rocks long eroded away, or lateral secretion from intruded sedimentary rocks."

PREVIOUS WORK

"An immense amount of information has accumulated over the 140-year history of the Garnet Area, much of this has been gathered over the last 50 years by the efforts of James Charlton and his son Aaron Charlton. There is on site a room filled with file cabinet after cabinet and map case after case containing maps, cross-sections, publications, private reports, and detailed maps and descriptions of surface and underground workings. The Grant Hartford Corporation plans to digitize this library of material."

"Site-specific published reports include a U.S. Geological Survey Bulletin (660) by Pardee (1918), a Montana Bureau of Mines Memoir (39) (includes Bibliography) by Kauffman and Earll (1963), mapping by Wallace and others (1977, 1978), and an Iowa State University Master's Thesis (1986) by K.M. Wilkie on the Garnet-Coloma Area, Annual Reports of the State Inspector of Mines, and numerous newspaper and popular accounts. Regarding important details of stratigraphy; production records; mineralogical, geological, and historical information; the reader is referred to these. They are not outdated per se, although there is commonly additional information".

"Private work includes important maps of the Ohio Mining and Development Company (1919) and a pen contemporaneous report by T.H. Rosenkranz who detailed geology, operations, production, grades, and descriptions of [mineralized material] and rock of mining claims active at the time. Torrey (1934, 1935), a mining engineer, reported to the Nancy Hanks Gold Mining

"Western Energy Company by Pederson (1988), Trans-Global Resources, N.L., by Koehler Stout (1991), geological mapping by University of Montana Geology Professor by James Sears was carried-out. A Final Summary report for AGC covering three years of systematic exploration by Trans-Global Resources, N.L., by Koehler Stout (1991)."

"Pegasus Gold Corporation final report, Stimson (1992), includes detailed appendices of exploration data which advances our understanding of surface resources to beyond the prefeasibility level. A report for the Clearwater Land Exchange by Brower (1999), discussed the probable viability of surface mining part of the deposit at a $315 per oz gold price. Also, there are several shorter professional reports and much specific, authentic and accurate, mineral and mining data."

[DESIGNATED MINERALIZED MATERIAL]

Surface [Designated Mineralized Material]

"[Mineralized material] occur in several forms. Perhaps most accessible for producing quick cash flow are existing mine dumps. Brower (1999, p.12) reports 31,952 tons of..." mineralized material.

"The second form of readily accessible [mineralized material] consists of shallow deposits, surface mineable... The best definition of these deposits was carried out between 1989 and 1992 by Pegasus Gold Corporation (Stimson, 1992), which planned to mine surface deposits:"

"Between December, 1989, and December 1992, Pegasus Gold conducted an exploration program covering over 22 square miles and employing airborne magnetics and resistivity, ground, magnetics, IP, and resistivity surveys. Drill targets were defined using geologic mapping, rock, soil and trench geochemistry. Fourteen targets were drill tested with 147 reverse circulation holes (47,601 feet), and six core holes (1,710 feet). [Mineralized materials] were discovered in three separate deposits."

"The [mineralized material] referred to are the Nancy Hanks and Cascade deposits. Pegasus determined there were 4.6 million tons of [mineralized material] grading between 0.037 oz per ton to 0.040 oz per ton... Their [mineralized material] determination was arrived at by calculating the estimate manually using the polygonal method. Brower (1993) commented:"

"The approach employed by Pegasus is suitable as a first approximation, early-indication type of estimate, to determine whether enough gross grade and tonnage is present to merit further work, but is far too generalized for feasibility decisions. More sophisticated analytical techniques using computer models (below) can reveal ore [probable economic - TJP] grades and gross tonnages that differ significantly from first approximations. They can be substantially higher or lower, due to more selective designation of what is ore [a probable economic grade - TJP] and what is waste, which can subsequently expand or contract mineable zones."

"The Brower report utilized the proprietary programs SURPAC to generate a mine block model and THREE-D to determine pit configuration and mineable tons of [mineralized material] and waste. Using data from 62 of Pegasus' drill holes in the Nancy Hanks deposit and 17 in the Magone & Anderson deposit with an average spacing of 250 feet apart...

"Computer modeling using Pegasus' drill hole data generated [mineralized material] of an average grade of 0.086 oz. per ton and a stripping ratio of 1.72..."

"There are many ways to look at the data when making a "ball park" estimate of profit and revenues prior to a full feasibility study. However it is sketched, surface [mineralized materials] are indicated [mineralized material] that should be mineable at an approximate average of 1 million tons per year for 6 to 10 years."

Current Operations

2008 Operations

The Comany's 2008 exploration program was designed to quantify, through the use of definition drilling, both open pit and underground mine mineralized material targets identified by the

previous Pegasus exploration program. J. Robert Flesher, our Vice-President of Geology and Mining, prepared the "Nancy Hanks Project Geology and Drilling Report for 2008," wherein the results for the Company's 2008 exploration program were detailed. During the second half of 2008, we began a definition drilling program consisting of 54 reverse circulation drill holes (12,497.5 feet), examining three mineralized vein systems. Drill targets were based on results from exploration conducted by Pegasus between December 1989 and December 1992 and other historical records, maps, and other geologic reports. Pegasus completed 147 reverse circulation holes (47,601 feet) and six core holes (1,710 feet). Combined, the total drill footage available for reserve calculation and mine planning is 31,808.5 feet.

The Company's 2008 exploration program successfully intercepted multiple high-grade mineralized material zones. We discovered and expanded mineralized material zones indentified by Pegasus in the East Dewey and North Dewey zones. Drilling on the Nancy Hanks deposit confirmed mineralized material as identified by Pegasus with open boundaries in several directions. A new mineralized material zone, at the 200 foot level in the area of Nancy Hanks pit, was discovered which is open in three directions.

2009 Operations

Our 2009 exploration program was designed to expand on the 2008 drill results and the results of Pegasus' exploration project (1989-1992). The Pegasus exploration project identified 16 different areas of high grade mineralized material. Numerous historical reports, production records, and maps were also used to determine the most promising targets.

The 2009 exploration program continued to define the Nancy Hanks area and expanded exploration to include 3 additional high grade targets containing mineralized material indicated by limited drilling conducted by Pegasus. These include the Willie Vein, the Tiger Vein, and the Tostman mineralized zone. We completed 111 holes totaling 37,763 feet in 2009. Plans called for confirmation of these high-grade intercepts, tightening drill spacing for more accurate resource estimation, moving more mineralized material into a potential proven/probable reserve category, and evaluating the high-grade intercepts for underground extraction. Additionally in 2009, two confirmation holes were drilled alongside two sets of twin core/reverse circulation holes completed by Pegasus and results closely mirrored previous results.

The Willie Vein System had 30 reverse circulation drill holes completed totaling 9,333 feet in 2009. This drill program was based on 2 drill holes completed by Pegasus totaling 615 feet which intercepted a high grade quartz vein structure contained in the Garnet Range Quartzite. 2009 drill results confirmed Pegasus data and additional holes were completed along strike and down dip.

Return to Table of Contents

The Tostman mineralized zone is located approximately 1,800 feet west of the Nancy Hanks pit area. This deposit was drilled by Pegasus, who encountered both lower grade pit type material as well as higher grade underground veins. We included the Tostman in the 2009 exploration plan to further define this deposit, confirm the data reported by Pegasus, and begin mineralized material modeling for tonnage and grade estimations. During 2009, GHC drilled 10 holes on the Tostman deposit totaling 3,800 feet and was able to confirm much of the data presented by Pegasus. Several high grade veins were encountered as well as intervals of lower grade mineralization.

The Tiger vein system is contained in an altered sedimentary sequence just south of the Nancy Hanks Pit area. This vein was mined historically and mineralized material is contained in an oxidized vein approximately ten feet in thickness. Nine holes were completed on the Tiger claim in 2009 totaling 2,790 feet. Of these nine holes, only four targeted the vein structure. The remaining 5 holes were water/condemnation holes which were sampled, but no significant mineralization was observed.

2009 Additional Exploration Activities

In addition to the 2009 exploration program, the Company also accomplished the following activities during 2009.

Vulcan Sub-Surface 3-D Modeling Software Program

We purchased the Vulcan Sub-Surface 3-D geologic modeling software ("Vulcan") early in 2009. All historic and current drill data has been input for drill planning and mine planning. We engaged WGM Engineering of Missoula, Montana to conduct a Lidar air survey of the project area. This survey has a tolerance of 2' or less and has provided the Company with an extremely accurate and current topography, along with aerial photography of the optioned portion of our Garnet Mineral Property that has been imported into Vulcan. Many of the historic mine workings, roads, and various other features in the area have been digitized and imported into Vulcan. These historic workings help indicate the potential location of mineralized material bodies, in addition to mine planning activities.

Geophysics

Echotech of Missoula, MT was contracted to evaluate the geophysical data gathered by Pegasus. It was determined that the data was not very useful to us as more modern techniques give much better information. A down hole geophysics program was conducted on the Willie vein system, but results were not conclusive.

Geological Team

The Company organized a Geological Team during 2009 which serves to increase our knowledge and ability to handle the Garnet Mineral Property's increasing geological needs. The Geological Team brings a wide range of knowledge together allowing the Company to more efficiently accomplish its exploration goals on the Garnet Mineral Property. Dr. Sears has

Return to Table of Contents

conducted numerous geological mapping activities in the greater Garnet Mining District and his work provides a unique and beneficial source of geological information for our exploration activities on the Garnet Mineral Property.

Team members include:

J. Robert Flesher - our Vice President of Geology and Mining
Dr. James Sears - a director of our Company and a Professor of Geology at the University of Montana
Jeff Switzer - Field Geologist and recent geology graduate from the University of Montana and student of Dr. Sears.
Sarah Clark - Field Geologist and recent geology graduate from the University of Montana. And Ms. Clark was a student of Dr. Sears'
Joe Faubian - CDM Constructors, Inc.'s consulting geologist

Conclusion of the Company's 2008 and 2009 Drilling Activities

Initial plans in 2008 primarily targeted intercepts reported by Pegasus which allowed us to begin to confirm and expand mineralized trends. In 2009, we were able to further define and add to our understanding of the Garnet Mineral Property through the exploration of the Willie, Nancy Hanks and Tostman zones. Deposit models created in Vulcan have been used to begin preliminary mine designs for the Willie Zone. Drilling on the Nancy Hanks zone in 2009 continued to confirm historic records of high grade vein systems with open boundaries in several directions at shallow depths. The addition of the Vulcan software and creation of the Geological Team allowed us to greatly expand our knowledge database and enabled us to prepare increasingly educated exploration plans going into future drilling season.

2010 Operations

The 2010 exploration season concluded on December 7, 2010, allowing us to complete 66 reverse circulation drill holes and 4 core holes totaling 34,858 feet and 1,699 feet respectively. During the 2010 exploration season, we experienced many drill availability setbacks, yet we were able to add significantly to the overall tonnage and grade estimate with promising results. The additional structural knowledge gained from the Garnet Mineral Property has allowed us to complete our exploration and mineralized structure definition more efficiently, which will flow into the 2011 exploration season.

Grant Hartford's 2010 exploration program was designed to expand on drill results from 2008 and 2009 as well as results from Pegasus' exploration project. The 2010 exploration plans included continued evaluation of the northwest and down dip extensions of the Nancy Hanks vein system, down dip and lateral extensions of the Willie vein system, the Nancy Hanks Pit area, and continued definition of the Tostman vein system. Additionally, plans were made to examine the Coloma district and the Lead King Vein systems.

Return to Table of Contents

Lead King vein systems. Two core holes, totaling 930 feet, were completed in the Nancy Hanks vein, along with the completion of two core holes, totaling 766 feet, at the Willie site. These core holes twinned high grade reverse circulation intercepts and were designed for grade confirmation and to evaluate true vein thickness. Initial core hole logging has confirmed the mineralogy and location of the structure. The mineralized intervals were sampled by lithologic changes and sent for certified assay.

The highlight of the 2010 drill season was the "discovery" of a mineralized, very prolific vein structure which is an extension of the same vein mined in the historic Dewey mine. Following up on promising results from drilling completed in 2009 (13 holes totaling 5480 feet), 30 reverse circulation drill holes, totaling 18,065 feet, and two core holes, totaling 933 feet, were completed in 2010, allowing us to extend the known mineralized zone on the northwest Nancy Hanks vein model to over 580 feet along strike.

Contained material estimates for the northwest portion of the Nancy Hanks vein system at the end of the 2009 drill season indicated over 70,000 tons grading 0.226 OPT Au. With the addition of the 2010 drill results, the updated tonnage and grade model currently indicates over 188,000 tons at 0.265 OPT Au.

This zone has proven to be the most consistent mineralized vein structure, both in continuity as well as grade, in which we have explored on the Garnet Mineral Property to date. We anticipate that this structure continues to the west of the Tostman zone, as indicated in our preliminary exploration results. During the final quarter of 2010, we were able to add over 250 feet along strike to our current mineralized model. We will continue to follow this high grade trend in our 2011 exploration activities.

We completed 10 reverse circulation drill holes and two confirmation core holes, totaling 4,980 feet and 766 feet respectively, on the Willie vein system in 2010. This drill program included plans for an additional five drill stations, which are currently permitted, and we anticipate completing during our 2011 exploration program. We plan on continuing to examine this zone in future years of exploration, and preliminary results suggest there is a potential to extend the strike extents of the Willie vein system from the current 350 foot length to as much as several thousand feet.

The Lead King vein system lies a few hundred feet north and upslope from the Willie system and was mined extensively on both the east and west sides of First Chance Gulch historically. After evaluating initial mine planning at the Willie, we determined additional exploration of the material below the historic Lead King workings was needed. Initial exploration drilling on this structure consisted of five reverse circulation holes, totaling 1,790 feet, and preliminarily indicates that the Lead King mineralized zone may continue below the currently defined lower working. If this preliminary data is correct, both the Lead King and Willie mineralized zones could potentially be accessed from one future mining site. The Initial drilling results were not adequate to begin tonnage and grade estimates, however we were able to intercept vein structures where we initially anticipated. We plan to continue our examination of the possible Lead King and Willie connection with additional drilling and mapping during our 2011 exploration season.

Return to Table of Contents

Another project that was started in 2010 was the initial exploration of the Grant and Hartford vein system. This mineralized zone lies several hundred feet north and upslope from the Lead King system and is similar geologically to the Lead King vein. This vein was mined historically on both the east and west sides of First Chance Gulch, although little work is indicated on the west side of the gulch based on historic records. Three drill sites were permitted for this zone, but drill availability did not allow them to be completed. We were able to examine this structure using surface trenching and grab sampling west of the historic workings. Five trenches were excavated in 2010 to explore the surface expression of this structure. These trenches were channel sampled and mapped and four of the five trenches yielded assays of over 0.100 OPT Au including several over 0.500 OPT Au. Surface exposure of this vein was mapped and plotted using historic excavations and projections based on historic workings. Drill planning for 2011 will include plans to explore this structure with adequate drill spacing to allow tonnage and grade estimation, and we anticipate it may be another mineralized vein system of interest for our feasibility study.

The Tostman mineralized zone had four drill stations planned for 2010 which were included in our Prospectors Permit, acquired pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement dated May 24, 2010, of which is located approximately 1,800 feet west of the Nancy Hanks pit area. Due to drill availability problems, no holes were completed in the Tostman zone during 2010. We anticipate completing additional drilling during our 2011 exploration season in order to further define this deposit's potential, as our current exploration data suggests is open in three directions.

Other 2010 Exploration Activities

Geology Team

The GHC geologic team was organized in 2009 and continued to increase our knowledge and understanding of the vein systems found on the Garnet Mineral Property during our 2010 exploration season.

Mine planning

Mine planning activities continued during 2010. Underground extraction plans were created for the Willie vein model by Small Mine Development of Boise, Idaho ("SMD") in 2009 and a second mine plan was obtained from New Millennium Mining during the second quarter of 2010. As stated previously, preliminary results indicate that the Lead King system may be accessed from the Willie workings. We plan to continue exploration on this possible connection during the 2011 exploration season in order to finalize its feasibility. Underground mining plans are also being developed by SMD and New Millennium Mining for the Nancy Hanks vein system and we have a portal preliminarily planned for this area beginning in early 2011 to begin the anticipated access of this mineralized material.

Mapping Activities

Geological mapping continues to be one of our top priorities. During the 2010 exploration season, Dr. Sears lead numerous mapping and sampling activities to expand our knowledge of

Return to Table of Contents

the vein systems in the district. He was able to refine the geologic map originally started in 1989, and began to more accurately define lithologic boundaries using our highly detailed Lidar contour maps. He also greatly increased our knowledge of the potential extents of many of the mineralized vein systems in the district. This information will be used for exploration planning in 2011, and his entire report titled, "Gold-bearing quartz veins in the consolidated Grant Hartford Corporation claim blocks", can be reviewed on our website, www.granthartford.com.

Geochemical

Geochemical data collected by Pegasus is currently being converted to an importable format for use in the Vulcan 3-D software system. Over 2,300 soil and grab samples are included and will be used to help identify surface expressions of mineralized areas for exploration planning.

Conclusion

We were able to significantly increase our understanding of the deposits found on our Garnet Mineral Property during the 2010 exploration season. This improved knowledge of the district allowed us to be more efficient with our drill program and increased our ability to successfully estimate the locations of mineralized material. The identification and definition of the northwest portion of the Nancy Hanks vein system has put us in a potential position to begin anticipated mining, and possible processing, of several high grade mineralized zones that we have preliminarily identified. We were able to complete four core holes in 2010 which provided a more comprehensive identification of the mineralized zone structures, including potential grades, and lithology of the Nancy Hanks and Willie vein systems, which we anticipate will provide data for more refined mine planning in conjunction with the completion of our feasibility study. We anticipate that this greater understanding of the district will allow us to continually increase our grade and ton estimates of the mineralized material in our future exploration seasons.

2011 Grant Hartford Exploration Plan
By J. Robert Flesher, Vice President of Geology and Mining

Introduction

This document outlines exploration activities planned on the Garnet Mineral Property during the 2011 exploration season. The first section describes our target areas and goals for each mineralized zone. The second section is a detailed description of mapping and other exploration activities to be completed by Dr. Jim Sears.

Section 1: Drill Targets and Objectives

Our exploration objectives for 2011 will be designed to further expand our knowledge of mineralized vein structures in the district, bring more mineralized material in to a preliminary reserve category to be used in our feasibility study, and to explore the extents of the seven major vein structures as identified by Dr. Sears. Exploration drilling in 2011 will consist of reverse circulation drilling and core drilling activity targeting several mineralized zones in the Garnet District.

Return to Table of Contents

Underground mine planning, pursuant to our feasibility study, is in progress and is scheduled to commence in during the second quarter of 2011. Underground drill stations will be established for core drilling as target areas are reached during excavation to define down dip extensions as well as explore for deeper mineralized structures.

A. Due to limited drill availability in 2010, many of the drill stations planned and permitted in 2010 will be drilled in 2011. Listed below are drill locations from 2010 and new targets planned for 2011.

	I. Willie Vein
	Two core holes drilled in this zone in 2010 twinned previously drilled reverse circulation holes and confirmed the vein structure. Five more reverse circulation drill stations were planned and permitted for 2010, but due to limited drill availability, it was determined to use the drill to explore the Nancy Hanks vein. These stations will be completed in 2011.

	II. Lead King Vein System
	Five reverse circulation holes were completed in the Lead King zone in 2010 below the lowest level of the workings and the vein structure was intercepted where anticipated. Six drill stations planned and permitted in 2010 were not completed due to limited drill availability, however we plan to complete them in 2011. These six stations all explore the down dip extension of the vein below the historic workings.

	Drill stations planned to the west of the historic workings will examine both the Lead King and Willie vein structures. Preliminary drill data suggests there is a potential for access to both the Lead King and Willie zones from the same future mine site. Proceeding the completion of our feasibility study, we anticipate moving forward with mine design work in 2011.

	III. Nancy Hanks Vein System
	Drilling completed in 2009 verified the historical data and drilling continued to follow the structure down dip and to the west in 2010. The results obtained in 2010 indicated mineralized material that has been modeled in this section (NH3) of the structure. The 2010 exploration season ended in mineralized material grade and ton estimates that suggested that the mineralized structure is not cut off to the west.

	The NH3 vein has indicated a potential mineralized structure that is the most consistent in width, grade and ton in which we have explored to date. This vein structure is our primary focus for exploration during the 2011 season and is an area of mine planning. Once underground exploration advances sufficiently, we anticipate establishing underground core drill stations to explore the down dip as well as possible exploration for deeper mineralized zones.

	The Tostman zone lies approximately 1,400 feet to the west of the last drill station completed at the Nancy Hanks. Preliminary exploration results suggest that both the Tostman as well as the zones mentioned in this section III, may lie along the same structural trend. We anticipate completing wide spaced drilling over the 1,400 foot gap in data during 2011.
	IV. Tostman Vein System
	Eleven holes on four drill stations were permitted and bonded through the Prospectors Permit in 2010. These stations were not drilled in 2010 due to limited drill availability; however, we anticipate completing them in 2011.

	V. Grant Hartford Vein
	The Grant and Hartford mineralized vein structure was mined historically mainly on the east side of First Chance Gulch. Surface grab samples were taken and assays indicate high grade material at the surface. Trench work was completed in 2010 along a 600 foot section of the trend with positive preliminary results.

	Four drill stations were permitted and bonded in 2010, but due to limited drill availability only one drill hole was completed in 2010. We anticipate completing drill hole exploration along with more surface exploration in 2011.

	Preliminary surface exploration on the Grant and Hartford vein indicates a need for additional exploration through more closely spaced drilling. We anticipate that the planned drill spacing will allow grade and tonnage estimations to be modeled in 2011. We are interested in the potential for this zone as it can potentially be accessed with minimal underground disturbance.

	VI. Other Targets
	In 2011, we anticipate expanding our exploration in both eastern and western directions of our current area. Drill and surface sampling and mapping programs will continue to expand the indicated strike lengths of the mineralized structures in the district.

		·	Contact zone - This contact aureole is highly altered and mineralized and has a known extent of at least 15,000 feet. All of the historic major producers in the northern portion of the Garnet District lie within a few hundred feet of this contact zone. We have claims covering the entire distance and we plan to continue definition of the mineralized structures along this trend in 2011.

			Eocene soils cover a large portion of this trend, and there is apotential for undiscovered sections of mineralized structures. We plan to conduct widely spaced drilling and surface mapping and sampling along this trend in 2011.

Return to Table of Contents

Coloma - Pegasus completed thirteen drill holes in this zone with encouraging results. Exploration is planned to be conducted in the Coloma zone as time and equipment allow in 2011.

B. We propose to continue updating all existing geological, geophysical, geochemical, and historic data into Vulcan's sub-surface 3D mine modeling program to better identify mineable mineralized zones, assist in mine planning, exploration planning, and in the future establishment of a reserve calculation. Geochemical data collected by Pegasus has been converted to a format acceptable to Vulcan, and we plan to evaluate geochemical anomalies for exploration potential in 2011.

C. We anticipate the establishment of an on-site fire assay laboratory for quick field assessment. We are currently planning acquisition of used and/or new equipment. Having a fire assay lab on site should enable us to quickly determine grades for surface exploration, drill samples, and mineralized material control as we commence our anticipated future underground mining operations. Samples to be used for reserve calculations will still be sent to outside labs.

D. We anticipate geophysical plans for 2011 exploration will include running lines along the intrusive contact to discover deposits which may not have a surface expression. This would serve to identify potential targets as well as rule out areas which appear to be barren and save unproductive drilling.

E. Our geologic team plans to open, enter, map, and sample as many historic workings as possible. This will be conducted as time and safe conditions allow. Priorities for this work include the Lead King workings, the Grant and Hartford workings, and several other historic mines in the area.

F. Core Drilling - We propose to complete 5,000 feet of diamond drilling (core) in 2011. These holes will target mineralized zones encountered with reverse circulation drilling in several areas of the project. These holes will be used for mine planning and reverse circulation drill-hole confirmation. Down-hole surveys will be conducted to verify mineralized zone locations.

G. Underground Mine Planning and Mapping - Preliminary mine design planning for the Willie and Nancy Hanks mineralized zones has been completed. We anticipate that underground exploration will complete continuous mapping and sampling activities as the workings advance.

Section2: Mapping (Jim Sears)

Mapping program: While the 2011 drilling is in progress, we propose to conduct geological field work at various localities around the Garnet Mineral Property to better understand the structural configuration of the vein systems. This work would be conducted by Dr. Sears and a field assistant over most of the summer. There are three main items:

	I. District Mapping

	· We anticipate that Dr. Sears will continue to update and detail the geologic map he has been modifying since 1989. This mapping will be scaled at 1"=300', and will use the LIDAR base map.

Return to Table of Contents


	· Many of the higher elevations in the project area are covered with rusty red Eocene soils. Our current plans include mapping Eocene soil zones across the entire property both for interpretation of buried vein structures and historic prospects, and to investigate placer potential.

	· We propose to map the transition from the Grant and Hartford and Lead King veins in the Garnet Range Formation in First Chance Gulch up to the west into the marble to investigate the relationship between the quartz veins and the skarns.

	· Along with mapping, we plan to locate all old mines and prospects around Anderson Hill for the potential inclusion in the Vulcan program. This would allow 3-D calibration of the vein systems across the various faults.

	II. Structural data base.

	· We propose to measure the orientations of various small-scale structural features associated with the veins in order to better understand the geometry of the veins relative to the enclosing rocks.

	· We anticipate conducting the mapping and measuring of structural fabrics in the folded and faulted host rocks and determining their genetic relationships to our Garnet Minarl Property's mineralization.

	· We also propose to determine the origin and orientation of the Day Gulch fault in 2011.

APPENDIX "C" TO 2011-12 ANNUAL REPORT

GrantHartford Corp.
Garnet Project
Geology and Exploration Report for 2010

Executive Summary

The Garnet Project is located forty miles east of Missoula in Granite County, Montana. The project area sits in the historic gold mining district of Garnet. This mining district produced approximately 150,000 ounces of gold from underground hard rock mining and an additional 500,000 ounces from the many placer operations from the late 1800's though the start of WWII. The gold contained in the hard rock deposits is primarily found in shallow to moderately dipping quartz veins, stock work systems, and shear zones, hosted by Cretaceous granodiorite, Paleozoic sediments, and upper Proterozoic quartzites.

During the 2nd half of 2008, the Grant Hartford Corporation began a definition drilling program consisting of 54 reverse circulation drill holes (13,203 feet) examining three ore systems. Drill targets were based on results of exploration conducted by Pegasus Gold between Dec., 1989 and Dec., 1992. Pegasus completed 147 reverse circulation holes (47,646 feet) and six core holes (1,710 feet) and took 4,110 samples including soil, trench, channel, rock chip, dump, underground, and stream sediment samples. Other exploration activities completed by Pegasus include geochemical soil analysis, induced polarization, VLF and air magnetometer surveys, surface and underground mapping and sampling, historic dump surveys, and trench and grab sampling. All data from the Pegasus drill program is in the possession of GHC and is being used for exploration and resource modeling. In addition numerous historical documents, maps, and various other geologic reports are being used for future exploration and mine planning.

During 2009, we completed 111 reverse circulation drill holes to further define underground and pit gold resources on the Nancy Hanks/Dewey deposits. 111 reverse circulation drill holes totaling 37,763 feet were completed during this period. Of these, 62 holes totaling 21,840 feet were drilled in the greater Nancy Hanks Pit area. Total drill footage for 2009 was nearly 3 times

Return to Table of Contents

the footage drilled by GHC in 2008. In addition to the Nancy Hanks Pit area, the program included exploration of the Willie Vein System and began definition of the Tostman and Tiger deposits in the greater project area.

The 2010 exploration season has been completed and has proven to be our most successful season to date. We have significantly improved our understanding of the geology of the district as well as improving our ability to predict where mineralized material can be expected. During 2010, we finished 66 reverse circulation holes and 4 core holes totaling 34858 feet and 1699 feet respectively. Although we drilled significantly fewer holes in 2010 vs. 2009, we were able to complete nearly the same total drill footage. The 2010 exploration season experienced many drill availability setbacks, yet we were able to add significantly to the overall resource with excellent results. The improved knowledge of the district we have gained has allowed us to be much more efficient with our exploration and ore definition planning and will continue to be built upon in 2011.

Introduction

This report details drill plans, results, and conclusions of exploration activities conducted at the Garnet Project by GHC during the 2010 season. Drilling commenced in mid-April and ended for the season in early December. 2010 drilling was ended due to weather related issues as well as to evaluate 2010 exploration results, input and evaluate data for mine planning, create reserve models, and begin planning our exploration goals for 2011. All reverse circulation drilling was completed by O'Keefe Drilling of Butte, MT, and core drilling was conducted by Spring Valley drilling of Hot Springs, MT.

Geologic Setting

The Garnet Project is located in the Garnet Range in West Central Montana. This property can be found in the historic Garnet Mining District. There have been numerous geologic evaluations over the years of the Garnet Range (c.f. Pardee, 1917, Kaufman, 1957, Sears, 1990, Reichl and Reynolds, 1988 to 1990).

There are three main geologic units in the project area. The Pre-Cambrian Garnet Range Quartzite, a Paleozoic sequence of sedimentary deposits, and the Cretaceous age Garnet Range Granodiorite. The Paleozoic sedimentary rocks sequence includes limestones, dolomitic limestones, and various shales. Most of the economically enriched zones occur within a few hundred feet of the contact between the Garnet Range granodiorite and the Paleozoic sedimentary sections. There are local marble units probably formed from limestones contacting the intrusive Garnet Range Stock (granodiorite). The Garnet Range Stock ranges from an un-altered, medium grained, salt and pepper granodiorite to highly chloritic and/or propylitically altered, iron stained sections.

Structurally, the district has a general east-west fabric which parallels the contact between the granodiorite and the sedimentary rocks. There are several large fault systems none of which indicate movement of over a few hundred feet. Most of the faults strike E-W in the Nancy Hanks system and range from 20-40 degrees dipping north. More complex faulting is found in the south

Return to Table of Contents

east portion of the project area and structures strike NE/SW with perpendicular faults. Fractured zones and/or bedding planes along the contact area, allowed hot fluids (probably associated with the stock placement) to permeate the granodiorite and fill fractures in the sedimentary sections and leave economically valuable minerals. Many of the fractures are quartz filled and contain various low levels of sulfides (primarily pyrite). The higher grade veins generally contain large amounts of leached sulfides and give rise to a "red ore." Gold is the most common economic mineral in the district including telluride minerals, with minor amounts of silver and copper.

2010 Exploration Goals and Results

Grant Hartford's 2010 exploration program was designed to expand on drill results from 2008 and 2009 as well as results from Pegasus Gold's exploration project (1989-1992). The Pegasus Garnet Project Summary (Stimson, 1992), identified 16 different "mineralized areas" of high grade gold ore. Numerous historical reports, production records, and maps were also used to determine the most promising targets.

The 2010 exploration plans included continued evaluation of the NW and down dip extensions of the Nancy Hanks vein system, down dip and lateral extensions of the Willie vein system, the Nancy Hanks Pit area, and continued definition of the Tostman vein system. Additionally plans were made to examine the Coloma district and the Lead King Vein systems. These plans were designed to help move more mineralized material into a reserve category, and further delineate the high-grade intercepts for underground mine planning and extraction.

Due to limited drill availability, most of the drill footage was completed in the Nancy Hanks vein system (27,338 feet) and the Willie vein system (5080 feet), with 1790 feet completed in the Lead King vein system and one 650 foot hole which penetrated both the Grant and Hartford and Lead King vein systems. This last hole was drilled at the proposed mill site and was designed for condemnation information as well as to evaluate the vein structures. 930 feet of core (2 holes) were completed in the Nancy Hanks vein and 766 feet of core (2 holes) were completed at the Willie site. These core holes twinned high grade R/C intercepts and were designed for grade confirmation and to evaluate true vein thickness. Initial core hole logging has confirmed the mineralogy and location of the structure. The mineralized intervals were sampled by lithologic changes and sent for certified assay.

The highlight of the 2010 drill season is the "discovery" of a high grade, vein structure which is an extension of the same vein mined in the historic Dewey mine. Several holes were completed here in late 2009. These results in addition to historic maps and reports (Pardee 1916, Pitt Report 1917) indicated that the high grade structure continues to the northwest. Notes from these maps say "12 samples were taken on no. 7 level in 1917 by Pitt indicate a shoot 135' long averaging 2.5' at 1.5 oz Au, 4.0 oz Ag, 1.1 % Cu, and 410 tons on top ready for shipment averaging 1.63 oz Au, 6.05 oz Ag, 2.1% Cu".

Following up on promising results from drilling completed in 2009 (13 holes totaling 5480 feet), 30 R/C drill holes totaling 18,065 feet and 2 core holes totaling 933 feet were completed in 2010 and we have extended the known mineralized zone on the northwest Nancy Hanks vein model to over 580' along strike. This structure has a dip varying from 33-40 degrees with dip lengths

Return to Table of Contents

ranging from 240 to 540 feet. Vein thickness varies from 5 to 30 feet based on 5 foot R/C sample intervals, although historic records indicate average vein thicknesses in the 2 to 4 foot range.

Resource estimates for the northwest portion of the Nancy Hanks vein system at the end of the 2009 drill season indicated approximately 70,000 tons containing over 13,000 ounces. With the addition of the 2010 drill results, the updated resource model currently indicates over 188,000 tons at .265 OPT Au containing 49879 ounces Au.

This zone has proven to be the most consistent mineralized vein structure both in continuity as well as grade explored by GHC in the Garnet District to date. This vein system is open to the west and appears to be the same structure as the one located at the Tostman zone. Similar grades and vein attributes can be found at the Tostman and it is felt that they are on in the same structural trend. There is 1350 feet between the Nancy Hanks vein and the Tostman vein along strike. Plans for 2011 will include filling in this gap with further drilling. If continuity is found across this trend we would have over 2000' along strike on this mineralized structure. There is every indication that the structure continues to the west of the Tostman zone as well. We will continue to follow this high grade trend in 2011.

Listed below are some of the results from 2009 and 2010 in this vein structure.

R/C hole GHN2-10 was twinned by core hole GNC4-10. GNC4-10 confirmed the high grade structure and indicates an 11.5' interval grading 1.398 OPT Au. Core hole GNC3-10 twinned R/C hole GHN3-10. GNC3-10 confirmed 5' grading 1.467 OPT Au in the mineralized structure.

We are now able to more accurately predict the intercept depth of this structure. We are currently fan drilling 3 holes on 50' centers along strike. This spacing gives us the ability to bring most of the material in each section to a proven or probable category. We have added over 250' along strike to the known mineralized model during the last several months of 2010 containing over 188,000 tons and over 49000 ounces Au. Our final drill section for 2010 continued to intercept the mineralized structure. This trend will continue to be defined to the west in 2011.

Three-dimensional view of the Nancy Hanks Vein showing the historic Dewey Mine workings and current mineralized vein structure model. View is to the southwest and shows drill hole penetrations.

The Willie Vein System had 10 reverse circulation drill holes and 2 core holes completed in 2010 totaling 4980 feet and 766 respectively. There was also one hole only completed to 100' which did not reach the target depth due to equipment breakdowns. This drill program included plans for 5 more drill stations which are currently permitted and will be completed in 2011.

This high grade structure is contained in the Garnet Range Quartzite and consists of a mineralized quartz vein within a bleached quartzite structure. The Willie model currently contains over 61000 tons at .242 OPT Au for over 14800 ounces Au. The Willie vein structure

Return to Table of Contents

has only been examined on the east side of First Chance Gulch. As all known mineralized structures can be found on both sides of the gulch such as the Lead King and Grant and Hartford systems, we projected the extension of the Willie structure to the west side of the gulch and were able to find a potential quartz filled structure where predicted. This will continue to be examined in 2011 and has good potential to extend the strike extents of the Willie vein system from the current length of 350' to several thousand feet.

Core hole GWC1-10 certified assays have been received and high grade material was encountered where expected with positive results (2' at 3.40 OPT Au). Although, the true vein thickness encountered in the core is much narrower than R/C drilling originally indicated, high grade material was found at the expected target depth and mirrors results from R/C hole GHW64-09. Hole GHW62-09 was twinned by core hole GWC2-10 to confirm contained Au grade as shown in the preceding chart. This hole intercepted a mineralized zone below the zone indicated by R/C drilling. GWC2-10 appears to be across a down-dropped block fault and did not encounter the ore zone at the same elevation as GHW2-10. This structural anomaly will be investigated further during the 2011 exploration season.

The Lead King vein system lies a few hundred feet north and upslope from the Willie system and was mined extensively on both the east and west sides of First Chance Gulch historically. It was in production up to the beginning of WWII and has not been mined since that time. Initial exploration drilling was begun on this structure in 2010 consisted of 5 holes totaling 1790 feet using reverse circulation sampling methods. Plans were designed to explore material below the lower workings. Notes from historic mapping (Pardee 1916) indicate ore in the lowest historic level. "It is reported that a length of 150' averaged 2' of 0.8 to 1.0 oz Au was shown on no. 4" and "Ore on level above said to average 1.5' - 2.5' and about .75 oz Au".

Return to Table of Contents

After evaluating initial mine planning at the Willie, it became clear that exploration of the material below the historic Lead King workings was needed. Both mineralized zones could potentially be accessed from the same development. Initial results indicate the Lead King mineralized structure continues below the lowest historic workings.

2010 Lead King Vein Drill Hole Highlights

Drill Hole	From	To	Intercept	Grade OPT Au
GHL42-10	245	255	10'	.490
GHL44-10	310	320	10'	.141

The vein systems along First Chance Gulch are offset by numerous block faults (such as that described above in the Willie core discussion) and structural mapping activities were conducted in 2010 to more accurately predict target zones. Drill spacing in the Lead King structure was not adequate to bring any material in to a resource category, but initial results were very encouraging. Vein structures were intercepted where anticipated and will continue to be examined with more drilling and mapping in 2011.

Another important project began in 2010, is the initial exploration of the Grant and Hartford vein system. This mineralized zone lies several hundred feet north and upslope from the Lead King system and is similar geologically to the Lead King vein. This vein was mined historically on both the east and west sides of First Chance Gulch, although little work is indicated on the west side of the gulch based on historic records. Three drill sites were permitted for this zone, but drill availability did not allow them to be completed.

A historic raise in the Grant and Hartford vein was encountered during construction of the new access road on the west side of the gulch. This section of the vein was sampled and eleven channel samples averaged .215 OPT Au. This structure was also examined using trenching and grab sampling west of the historic workings. A trench completed in 1964 by Joe Irving was reported to have exposed a 8"-12" quartz vein structure including 2" of 1.32 OPT Au. This trench was re-opened in 2010 and the same vein section assayed 1.52 OPT Au. Five new trenches were excavated in 2010 to explore the surface expression of this structure. These trenches were channel sampled and mapped and four of the five trenches yielded assays of over .100 OPT Au including several over .500 OPT Au. Surface exposure of this vein was mapped and plotted using historic excavations and projections based on historic workings. This mineralized zone has a great potential to develop into a fantastic mining target. Due to the surface expression of the vein, mine development would access ore immediately with little development needed. Drill planning for 2011 will include plans to explore this structure with adequate drill spacing to bring this zone in to resource category and should prove to be another high quality mineralized vein system.

The Tostman mineralized zone had 4 drill stations planned for 2010 which fall under the Prospectors Permit and is located approximately 1800' west of the Nancy Hanks pit area. Due to drill availability problems, no holes were completed in the Tostman zone in 2010. The geology in the Tostman zone is very similar to the Nancy Hanks pit area and the mineralized structure is contained in altered Garnet Range granodiorite adjacent to the contact zone with the sedimentary sequences. As stated previously, we feel this is the same vein system found in the Nancy Hanks

Return to Table of Contents

zone. We are confident we will be able to connect these two zones which will give us a strike length along this structure of over 2100 feet. Currently, resource modeling of all drill information to date indicates that there are over 3,000 ounces of contained gold. Additional drilling will be conducted here in 2011 to further define this deposit as it is open in 3 directions.

Other 2010 Exploration Activities

Geology Team

The GHC geologic team organized in 2009 continued to increase our knowledge and understanding of the vein systems found near Garnet. Team members include:

Bob Flesher - V.P. of Geology and Mining for GHC.
Dr. Jim Sears - U of M Geology professor and Board member for GHC.
Jeff Switzer - Field Geologist and 2009 U of M graduate under Dr. Sears.
Sarah Clark - Field Geologist and 2009 U of M graduate under Dr. Sears.

Creation of our geologic team has given us the ability to bring a wide range of knowledge together to accomplish a higher level of exploration and focus. The team met numerous times during 2010 to review drill planning and results, surface mapping and sampling activities, and has greatly expanded on our knowledge of the deposits in the Garnet Mining District.

Conclusion

Grant Hartford was able to significantly increase the understanding of the deposits found in the Garnet Mining District in 2010. This improved knowledge of the district allowed us to be much more efficient with the drill program and increase our ability to predict the locations of mineralized material in 2010. The identification and definition of the northwest portion of the Nancy Hanks vein system has put us in a position to begin mining immediately with confidence that high grade material will be available for processing. As a result of the 2010 drill program, we have increased our underground resources from approximately 30,000 ounces at the end of 2009 to nearly 90,000 ounces at the conclusion of the 2010 exploration season. We were able to complete four core holes in 2010 which provide a more comprehensive look at the ore zone structures, grades, and lithology of the Nancy Hanks and Willie vein systems and will provide data for more refined mine planning. We are confident that this greater understanding of the district will allow us to continually increase the identified resource in 2011 and in to the future.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Risk Factors Relating to Our Business

1: We have limited operating history and limited historical financial information upon which you may evaluate our performance.

You should consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like ours, are in the exploration stage. We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully implement our business plan. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business and impair the value of our Common Stock. Even if we accomplish these objectives, we may not generate positive cash flows or profits in the future.

Unanticipated problems, expenses and delays are frequently encountered in establishing a new business, such as ours, and in the exploration stages of the search for mineral deposits. These include, but are not limited to, inadequate funding, competition, and unsuccessful mineralized material exploration. Our failure to meet any of these conditions would have a materially adverse effect upon us and may force us to reduce or curtail operations. There is limited history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will be successful, and we may not be able to generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. No assurance can be given that we can or will ever operate profitably.

2: We will require additional funding

As of December 31, 2011, we had cash on hand in the amount of $1,894. We currently anticipate incurring expenses of approximately $7,460,000 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, which we plan to use in order to complete our feasibility study, fund our 2012 Exploration Season, continue the mapping project on our property, establish an on-site fire assay laboratory, ship mineralized material from the Lead King mine site to the Golden Sunlight Mill, and continue preparations to begin underground mining operations at the Nancy Hanks mine site on our Garnet Mineral Property. We will require additional financing in order to begin and complete our current plans for the 2012 Exploration Season and may require additional financing for future phases on our Garnet Mineral Property. We currently have limited operations at the Lead King mine site and propose to continue shipments and generating other income in 2012. Our business plan calls for significant exploration expenses. We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning sufficient revenues once exploration is complete. In the event that our exploration programs are successful in sufficiently estimating the mineralized material continuity between drill holes and we exercise our mineral claim purchase option, we may require additional funds in order to place the patented and unpatented mining claims into the development and commercial production stages. We currently do not have any finalized arrangements for financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required and on favorable terms. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the market prices for gold, silver and other metallic minerals and the costs of exploring for, developing and producing these materials.

Return to Table of Contents

These factors may make the timing, amount, terms, or conditions for additional financing unavailable to us, which would force us to reduce our operations or even cease operations.

In the event the Company continues to generate no revenues from operations or we are not able to obtain the necessary capital to become an operating company, we may not have sufficient resources to pay our consultants, make our options payments, pay any other fees or any other expenses related to the continuation of our operations and we may be forced to cease our operations.

3: Our Auditor has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern

The report of our independent auditor regarding our audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2011 indicates that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have an accumulated deficit since inception of $13,391,272 for the period from, March 15, 2007, to December 31, 2011, and have no revenues. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon successful exploration and future development and production stages on the patented and unpatented mining claims. This is a significant risk to investors who purchase shares of our Common Stock because there is an increased risk that we may not be able to generate and/or raise enough capital to remain operational. Potential investors should also be aware of the difficulties normally encountered in the exploration stage of mining companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. Our auditor's concern may inhibit our ability to raise financing because we may not remain operational, which would most likely cause our business to fail.

4: Any global financial crisis may have an impact on our business and financial condition that we currently cannot predict.

The continued credit crisis and related instability in the global financial system has had, and may continue to have, an impact on our business and our financial condition. We may face significant challenges if conditions in the financial markets do not improve. Our ability to access the capital markets may be severely restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to access such markets, which could have an impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions. The credit crisis could have an impact on any potential lenders, causing them to fail to meet their obligations to us. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms, or conditions for additional financing unavailable to us, which would force us to reduce our operations or even cease operations, and may cause our business to fail.

5: Difficult conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations, and we do not expect these conditions to improve in the near future.

Our results of operations are materially affected by conditions in the domestic capital markets and the economy generally. The stress experienced by domestic capital markets that began in the second half of 2007 has continued and substantially increased into the present. Recently, concerns over inflation, energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, the

Return to Table of Contents

U.S. mortgage market and a declining real estate market in the U.S. have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectation for the economy and the markets going forward. These factors, combined with volatile oil and gas prices, declining business and consumer confidence and increased unemployment, have precipitated an economic slowdown and fears of a continued recession. In addition, the fixed-income markets are experiencing a period of extreme volatility which has negatively impacted market liquidity conditions.

Initially, the concerns on the part of market participants were focused on the subprime segment of the mortgage-backed securities market. However, these concerns have since expanded to include a broad range of mortgage and asset-backed and other fixed income securities, including those rated investment grade, the U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally and a wide range of financial institutions and markets, asset classes and sectors. As a result, capital markets have experienced decreased liquidity, increased price volatility, credit downgrade events, and increased probabilities of default. These events and the continuing market upheavals may have an adverse effect on us because our liquidity and ability to fund our capital expenditures is dependent in part upon our access to the private and public capital markets. In addition, in the event of extreme prolonged market events, such as the global credit crisis, we could incur significant losses. Even in the absence of a market downturn, we are exposed to substantial risk of loss due to market volatility. The forgoing factors may have a negative impact on the value of our Company, its assets, and its common stock resulting in illiquidity of our shares and potentially a total loss to our shareholders and a failure of our business.

6: We are a new company with limited operating history

We have only completed four drilling seasons on our mining claim holdings for which we have acquired our options. We recently acquired additional unpatented mining claims and mining leasehold interests, which we began exploring in 2010 and of which will require additional exploration. As a result, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be able to operate our business successfully and move to the next mining stage on our Garnet Mineral Property. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful. While we began generating income during the third quarter of 2011, we have not begun earning revenues pursuant to the Company's primary business operations as of the date of this Form 10-K. Thus, we face a high risk of business failure which could result in a loss of confidence by our shareholders or potential investors and could result in a disruption to the business, adversely affecting our Company and the existing shareholders.

7: We may be unable to retain the consultants upon which we rely.

We have agreements with consultants to perform services for us including with an independent engineer for the review of the historical information available on the mining claims we have under option, the results from the previous exploration work performed on these mining claims, as well as the result of our exploration during the 2008 through 2011 drilling seasons in order to prepare the Company's Feasibility Study pursuant to Industry Guide 7, and to make recommendations based on those reviews; with a firm for engineering services in order to complete mill and property engineering on the Garnet Mineral Property; with the University of

Return to Table of Contents

Montana to utilize the Geological Department and Geographical Information Systems Department to digitize data; with geologist consultants for mapping the Garnet Mineral Property; assistance with the Vulcan Sub-Surface 3D Mine Modeling Program; and assistance with sampling, mapping and drill rig activities on the Garnet Mineral Property. We also have agreements with an independent laboratory to perform analyses on geological samples and an engineering firm for a water base line study and survey for a mill and tailings impoundment. We also have agreements with independent companies to provide hauling services in our shipment of mineralized material to the Golden Sunlight Mill from the Lead King mine site; along with an independent mining company to complete the portal construction and other preparations required to begin underground mining on the Nancy Hanks patented claim.

Each of our consultants perform functions that require the services of persons in high demand in the industry and these persons may or may not always be available when needed based on their status as consultants. The implementation of our business plan may be impaired if we are not able to retain our significant consultants or if they do not perform in accordance with their agreements and the failure to execute our business plan will have an adverse effect on the value of our Company and its common stock.

8: We may be unable to continue to sell our mineralized material to third party mill facilities for processing, or the ore processing fees may become prohibitive in the cost effectiveness of continuing mineralized material shipments for processing..

We currently have an agreement in place to sell a maximum of 30,000 short tons of ore from old tailings from the Lead King mine site to Golden Sunlight Mines, Inc. ("Golden Sunlight Mill"). However, the agreement was amended orally to ship 32,000 short tons of ore. The Golden Sunlight Mill is an independent third party mill facility that receives ore from various locations around the area. Thus, there is no guarantee that the Golden Sunlight Mill will continue to process our mineralized material, nor is there any guarantee that the processing fees may not become prohibitive in our continued shipment of mineralized material for processing. In the event we are unable to continue mineralized material shipments to the Golden Sunlight Mill, the income we are currently generating from the Lead King mine site would not continue, which could interfere with the implementation of our business plan, and could have an adverse effect on the value of our common stock and may cause our business to fail.

8: Common ownership of GHC and Commonwealth may create a conflict of interest.

One of our material assets is the option to purchase the 122 unpatented and 23 patented mining claims on the Garnet Mineral Property. The claims are owned, or optioned by Commonwealth.

Commonwealth is owned in part by Mr. Eric Sauve, our President, CEO, CFO and Director. In addition, Mr. Aaron Charlton, Senior Consultant and NEO to our Company, is a majority owner of Commonwealth. Our newly appointed Audit Committee has begun the process of identifying a third party outside accountant to assist in completing an internal review and plans to adopt conflict of interest and ethics rules, which will include the rules set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We plan to report the findings from the completion of our Audit Committee's internal review at the next Annual Shareholder Meeting, which is currently scheduled for June 23, 2011. In the absence of these corporate governance measures, and in general, the interests of Commonwealth and management may not coincide which could result in a loss of confidence by our shareholders adversely affecting our company and the existing shareholders which in turn would have an adverse effect on the value of our common stock and may cause our business to fail.

9: Common ownership of GHC and Commonwealth may create a conflict of interest.

One of our material assets is the option to purchase the 122 unpatented and 23 patented mining claims on the Garnet Mineral Property. The claims are owned, or optioned by Commonwealth. Commonwealth is owned in part by Mr. Eric Sauve, our President, CEO, CFO and Director. In addition, Mr. Aaron Charlton, Senior Consultant and NEO to our Company, is a majority owner of Commonwealth. Our newly appointed Audit Committee has begun the process of identifying a third party outside accountant to assist in completing an internal review and plans to adopt conflict of interest and ethics rules, which will include the rules set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Audit Committee has put these efforts on hold until such time as the Company has sufficient capital to complete the Audit Committee's internal review. In the absence of these corporate governance measures, and in general, the interests of Commonwealth and management

Return to Table of Contents

may not coincide, which could result in a loss of confidence by our shareholders adversely affecting our Company and the existing shareholders which in turn would have an adverse effect on the value of our common stock and may cause our business to fail.

10: There may exist potential conflicts of interest between us and Garnet Range Resources, LLC

Our agreement with Garnet Range Resources, LLC, a Montana Limited Liability company ("Garnet"), provides for the rental and operation of heavy equipment, labor on the Garnet Mineral Property and coordination of the exploration project management with us. Since Mr. Eric Sauve, our President, CEO, CFO and Director, and Joyce L. Charlton, the Managing Member of Garnet and wife of Aaron Charlton, our Senior Consultant, own 100% of Garnet, there is the potential for a conflict of interest between Garnet and the best interest of our shareholders. Since, from time to time, Aaron Charlton, our Senior Consultant, consults with Garnet, there is the potential for a conflict of interest between Garnet and the best interest of our shareholders. Our newly appointed Audit Committee has begun the process of identifying an independent third party accountant in order to assist in completing an internal review and plans to adopt conflict of interest and ethics rules, which will include the rules set forth in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Audit Committee has put these efforts on hold until such time as the Company has sufficient capital to complete the Audit Committee's internal review. In the absence of these corporate governance measures, and in general, the interests of Garnet and management may not coincide with the interests of our shareholders, which could result in a loss of confidence by our shareholders or potential investors adversely affecting the value of our common stock.

11: We are not indemnified under our agreement with Garnet.

While Garnet is responsible for the rental and operation of heavy equipment and labor on the Garnet Mineral Property and coordination of the exploration project management, we are not contractually indemnified by Garnet for work stoppage, delays or interruption of operations, as a result of not being able to provide these services in a timely manner. Lack of performance or untimely performance on the part of Garnet could result in increased costs, monetary losses, legal liability and possible adverse state governmental or BLM action. The inability of Garnet to perform could cause a delay in the progress of our exploration on our Garnet Mineral Property and our progression from exploration into the development and production stages of mining, which may have an adverse effect on our financial position, shareholders, and the identification of future financing. The potential costs associated with losses or liabilities not covered by Garnet's insurance would have a material adverse effect on our financial position and have an adverse effect on the shareholders and the value of our common stock.

12: Reliance on third party contractors.

The success of our Company will largely depend on the performance of our third party contractors to provide mine and mill engineering, the rental and operation of heavy equipment, including drill rigs and labor, on the Garnet Mineral Property and coordination of the exploration project management. In addition, our contractors may face a shortage of equipment and skilled

Return to Table of Contents

personnel with the necessary experience in order to complete the work required in the implementation of our business plan in a workman-like manner. Several of these third party contractors include, Cowboy Equipment, LLC c/o Roland Schumacher, the individual providing the heavy and industrial equipment used in the current mineralized material shipping activities currently underway on the Lead King site; CDM Constructors, Inc., the firm providing support services for mine and mill development; and O'Keefe Drilling, Inc., the firm completing all reverse circulation drilling. CDM Constructors, Inc. and O'Keefe Drilling, Inc. have substantial accounts payable from the Company and have been forced to limit, and may from time to time be forced to discontinue their services on our Garnet Mineral Property until such time that the Company is able to pay all or a portion of its obligations. A shortage of skilled and experienced contractors could have a material adverse effect on our ability to carry on our operations and therefore limit, delay, or increase the cost of our operations which in turn could have an adverse affect on the value of our common stock, and could cause our business to fail.

In addition, in the event that we are not able to pay the accounts payable to CDM Contractors, Inc. or O'Keefe Drilling, they may file a mechanics lien and potentially file a law suit against GHC and its patented and unpatented mining claims. This encumbrance could limit the Company in its efforts to raise capital or use the properties as collateral in a loan transaction. This inability to raise capital would have an adverse effect on the Company and its shareholders and could cause our Company to fail.

13: We have entered into an orderly plan for payment to cure a default under the terms of our contract with one of our third party contractors, who has filed a lien secured by 6 of our 23 optioned patented mineral claims and 2 of our 122 optioned unpatented mineral claims.

We are currently in default under the terms of our contract with one of our third party contractors, CDM Constructors, Inc., who had filed a UCC Lien in the amount of $674,371 on certain assets. The assets named in the lien include all recovered valuable minerals, the proceeds, products, refined materials, dore', bullion, and accounts relating to valuable minerals currently stockpiled on the following patented claims optioned through Commonwealth Resources, LLC: Free Coin MS 4652, Lead King MS 4811, Bull's Eye MS 4651, Bull's Eye Fraction MS 9405, Grant and Hartford MS 7327, White Cloud MS 5631, Red Cloud MS 5451 and on the following unpatented claims optioned through Commonwealth Resources, LLC: GHC 50 and GHC 52. The Settlement Agreement dated June 6, 2011 assigns 60% of the net mill receipts to the vendor related to shipments from the mining operations located on any of the described mineral claims, including the mining operations on the Lead King MS 4811 patented mining claim, to pay the outstanding balance. The balance owed to the vendor at December 31, 2011 is $398,765.

While we are in default under the terms of our contract and there is a lien filed against the assets described above, we have entered into the .822656113.Combination Settlement Agreement, Security Agreement, and Assignment of Proceeds, which sets forth an orderly plan for payment of the balance owed and CDM Constructors, Inc. is continuing to provide us services necessary for our continued exploration and operations on our Garnet Mineral Property. In the event that we are unable to satisfy the requirements of the orderly plan for payment, CDM Constructors, Inc. may be forced to limit, or discontinue their services on our Garnet Mineral Property until

Return to Table of Contents

such time that the Company is able to pay all or a portion of its obligations. This limited or discontinued service could have a material adverse effect on our ability to carry on our operations and therefore limit, delay, or increase the cost of our operations which in turn could have an adverse affect on the value of our common stock, and could cause our business to fail. Additionally, a default on any part of this agreement would clearly prohibit our ability to use these assets as collateral to obtain debt financing, which could adversely affect the execution of our business plan.

14: Construction Lien

On February 14,2012, American Buildings Company ("American") filed a Construction Lien for non-payment by us pursuant to Title 71, Chapter 3, of the Montana Code Annotated. At the request of R & R Shear Construction, P.O. Box 503, Frenchtown, MT., American provided a pre-fabricated metal building and components. The Construction Lien was filed against the Nancy Hanks Lode Mining Claim Survey No. 5365, which is owned by Commonwealth Resources, LLC. The unpaid balance on the services and materials that were provided on or about December 31, 2011, is $48,622. While the Construction Lien was not filed against us, our Option Agreement between us and Commonwealth encumbers the title to the Nancy Hanks Mining Claim which could impair our future financing to our detriment.

15: Exploration stage mining companies experience a high rate of failure from the occurrence of unanticipated issues.

Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by exploration stage companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration stage. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The exploration stage also involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure, or against which we may elect not to insure. In addition, there is no assurance that the expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the mineral claims will result in determining the existence of proven/probable reserve deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts and such results could adversely affect the execution of our business plan.

16: Our property insurance may not cover liability that we may be subject to in the future.

At the present time, we have a property liability insurance policy that covers all of our current surface operations. We cannot ensure that a property liability insurance policy will continue to be available, or to be available at a favorable rate, which would force us to proceed in implementing our business plan with inadequate or no property liability insurance. We cannot ensure that our current coverage will sufficiently protect against all unanticipated hazards, and if and when our operations expand to include more extensive above surface and underground

Return to Table of Contents

exploration, our current property liability coverage may be insufficient. The payment of such liabilities, that are uncovered, or insufficiently covered, by our current property liability policy, may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

17: Non-Consent to Use Geological Reports.

We have been unable to obtain consents for two historical geological reports: the "Garnet Project Summary," prepared by Pegasus Gold Corporation, and the "Mineral Property Valuation of the Garnet and Copper Cliff Mining Districts in Garnet and Missoula Counties," prepared by Dr. John C. Brower, Ph.D. We have deemed it necessary to include portions of these reports, without the expert consents and with the acknowledgement that the reports are over ten years old because the information in these reports describe the historical geological condition of the Garnet Mineral Property, and historical exploratory mineralized material findings on such Garnet Mineral Property. The information contained in these reports was a contributing factor in entering into the option agreement with Commonwealth and to the development of our current exploratory drilling program on the Garnet Mineral Property. Because we have been unable to obtain the consents of the authors of these geological reports, we have adopted the conclusions contained in such reports as our own, even though we are not experts qualified to have prepared such reports and even though we have not independently verified the accuracy of such reports. No assurance can be given that the conclusions set forth in such reports were accurate when made, were based on the opinions of experts willing to stand behind them, or that such conclusions are accurate presently.

18: We will continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future.

Prior to completion of the exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any significant revenues. We expect to incur continuing and significant losses into the foreseeable future. As a result of continuing losses, we may exhaust all of our resources and be unable to complete exploration of our acquired and optioned mineral claims. Our accumulated deficit will continue to increase as we continue to incur losses. We may not be able to generate profits or continue operations if we are unable to generate significant revenues from future mining of the mineral claims even if we exercise our options and our business will most likely fail.

19: Because access to the mineral property may be restricted by inclement weather, the Company may be delayed in its exploration efforts.

Access to the mineral property may be restricted during parts of the year, due to weather in the area. The property is in a mountainous area in the Garnet Mining District, Granite County, Montana which is accessible by county roads, BLM roads, and private roads. Although these roads have been used for exploration in the past, they are best traveled by four-wheel drive vehicles from spring to the beginning of winter. During the winter months, heavy snowfall can make it difficult to undertake work programs. We do not currently plan drilling operations in the winter months. Frequent inclement weather in the winter months makes exploration activities difficult and the planning of exploration activities challenging. As a result, any attempt to explore the property is largely limited to the times when weather permits such activities. The most efficient time for us to conduct our work programs is during the months of May through

Return to Table of Contents

November. These limitations can result in significant delays in our exploration efforts, as well as any future production. Delays in exploration and drilling due to inclement weather could significantly increase the time that it would take to explore the property, generate any operating revenues or achieve profitable operations, which could cause the failure of our business.

20: The mine exploration business is highly competitive.

The mine exploration business is highly competitive. Our preparation activities will be focused on exploring our mineral property in order to determine the existence of proven/probable reserves. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources than we have. As a result, we may experience difficulty competing with other businesses regarding availability of equipment, qualified personnel, and future financing. If we are unable to retain qualified personnel, locate needed equipment while conducting exploration activities, or identify future financing, we may be unable to enter into the development and production stages and may be unable to achieve profitable operations, causing our business to fail.

21: A ready market may not exist for the sale of any proven/probable reserves identified in the future.

Even if we are able to successfully explore, develop and prepare an established commercially minable proven/probable reserve deposit, a ready market may not exist for the sale of the extracted proven/probable reserves. Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of gold proven/probable reserves that are prepared for production. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets, processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, and environmental laws and regulations. These factors could inhibit our ability to sell proven/probable reserves in the event that we are able to successfully explore, develop and prepare an established commercially minable proven/probable reserve deposit for extraction, resulting in a materially adverse affect on our financial position, and the potential failure of our business.

22: Our operations are subject to numerous governmental permits which are difficult to obtain and we may not be able to obtain or renew all of the permits we require, or such permits may not be timely obtained or renewed.

In the ordinary course of business we are required to obtain and renew governmental permits for our operations, including operation and expansion of our exploration, and future development and production activities. Obtaining or renewing the necessary governmental permits is a complex and time consuming process involving costly undertakings by our Company, and specifically by CDM Constructors, Inc., which presently assists us in preparing our governmental permits. The duration and success of our efforts to obtain and renew permits are contingent upon many variables not within our control including the interpretation of applicable requirements implemented by the permitting authority. We may not be able to obtain or renew permits that are necessary to our operations, or the cost to obtain or renew permits may exceed our estimates. Failure to comply with applicable environmental and health and safety laws and regulations may result in injunctions, fines, suspension or revocation of permits and other penalties. There can be no assurance that we have been or will at all times be in full compliance

Return to Table of Contents

with all such laws and regulations and with our environmental and health and safety permits or that we have all required permits. The costs and delays associated with compliance with such laws, regulations and permits and with the permitting process could stop us from proceeding with the exploration or future development and production of our Garnet Mineral Property and could increase the costs of exploration, and future development and production, and may materially adversely affect our business results of operations or financial condition and may cause the failure of our business.

23: Our anticipated underground mining operations are subject to stringent federal and state safety regulations that could increase our cost of doing business, and may place restrictions on our operating methods. In addition, government inspectors under certain circumstances, have the ability to order our operations to be shut down based on safety considerations.

Our anticipated underground mining operations at our Nancy Hanks underground mining site are regulated by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) pursuant to Title 30 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and specifically Parts 47 Hazard Communication; 48 Training and retraining of miners; 56 Safety and health standards - surface; 57 Safety and Health Standards - underground; 58 Health standards for metal and non metal mines; and 62 Occupational noise exposure. These regulations are comprehensive and affect numerous aspects of mining operations, including training of mine personnel, mining procedures, the equipment used in mine emergency procedures, mine plans and other matters. The various requirements mandated by laws or regulations can have a significant effect on operating costs and place restrictions on our methods of operations. In addition, the Company is required to enact a safety program, including planned actions setting forth procedures for emergencies, which include, but are not limited to cave-ins, power outages, explosions, fire, inundation, ground control failures, and landslides. Failure to adhere to MSHA standards and regulations could subject the Company to costly fines, mine closure and possible injury and/ or death, which may become a source of liability and may create an adverse affect on any future revenues and the shareholders would be subsequently adversely affected.

24: We are subject to Section 229.104 Mining Safety Statue and Regulations.

In the period ending December 31, 2011, we had two significant and substantial (S&S) violations and 30 citations pursuant to Section 104(d) of the Act (30 U.S.C.) 814(b). While we have dealt with these violations, any continued violations may subject us to sanctions and potential legal proceedings. Continued violations could also subject GHC to fines, disrupt our business, or cause closure of our business. These events could adversely affect our ability to raise capital, our ability to implement our business plan, and our shareholders would be adversely affected, as it relates to shareholder value.

25: There is a limited potential for acid drainage from wastes on our exploration and future mining activities at the Garnet Mineral Property.

Although baseline water testing of the historic Garnet Mineral Property does not show, either widespread or, significant acid rock drainage issues, even after 100 years of mining in the area,

Return to Table of Contents

our own geochemical testing of the mineralized material from our exploration activities shows a limited potential for acid drainage from our wastes. To mitigate this potential occurrence and reduce the risks from acid rock drainage, we propose good waste management practices such as, runoff control, lined tailings impoundments, and additional testing. While appropriate steps will be taken to prevent the potential for acid mine drainage, discharges of pollutants into the ground water and the environment may occur and become a source of liability, which would have an adverse affect on any future revenues and our shareholders would be subsequently adversely affected.

26: We must comply with all Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements, such as the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.

Throughout our exploration and future development and production activities on our Garnet Mineral Property we fall under the jurisdiction of the EPA and must comply with all of their requirements such as the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. While we believe that there is limited potential for non-compliance due to the minimal disturbance produced from our exploration activities, we work closely with the State of Montana Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ") to assess and mitigate any potential environmental impacts through good waste management practices. Even through our waste management practices, there is no assurance that we can completely eliminate discharges of pollutants into the ground water and the environment, which may become a source of liability and may create an adverse affect on any future revenues and the shareholders would be subsequently adversely affected.

27: Our exploration operations are subject to any future environmental regulations, which could result in additional costs and operational delays.

All phases of our operations are subject to current and future environmental regulation. Environmental legislation evolves in a manner which may require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that any future changes in environmental regulation will not adversely affect our exploration efforts.

28: Our exploration activities rely upon our ability to retain our current mining permit and obtain additional permits for our future operations.

The majority of the wastes generated on the Garnet Mineral Property will be characterized as an exempt waste pursuant to the Bevill Exemption from the Hazardous Waste Rules under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"). Therefore waste management on our Garnet Mineral Property will be regulated by the DEQ through its' mine permitting process. Concurrently, we hold a Small Miner Exclusion and Exploration Permit and are in compliance with, the Small Mine Exclusion requirements required by the State of Montana DEQ. Our current plan is to continue our exploration activities through our small miner permit, until such time that our required surface disturbance is greater than five acres. We are required to obtain drilling permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for this physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with the DEQ and BLM laws, rules and regulations. While we have

Return to Table of Contents

planned exploration program budgets for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new laws, rules or regulations could increase our costs of doing business, preventing us from carrying out our exploration program and, therefore, adversely affecting our operational results.

Additionally, we anticipate being able to begin underground mining with this small miner permit, there is no guarantee that our operations will be successful, or that our operation will not require a surface disturbance larger than five acres. In the event that our future operations require an additional surface disturbance, there is no guarantee that we will successfully prepare and receive a full mine permit. Therefore, failure to maintain our current small mining permit, or obtain a full mining permit would interfere with our plan of operations, which would have an adverse affect on any future revenues and the shareholders would be subsequently adversely affected. In addition, any changes to these laws and regulations could have an adverse impact on our financial performance and results of operations by, for example, required changes to operation constraints, technical criteria, fees or surety requirements.

29: Several of our Prospecting Leases are on BLM owned patented claims.

On May 24, 2010, we acquired eight Prospecting Leases on BLM owned patented claims, which are part of public lands administered by the BLM Montana State Office. The land where these Prospecting Leases are located is governed by the laws and regulations of the U.S. federal government and the state of Montana. Any changes to the laws and regulations governing mining operations on public lands could have an adverse impact on our financial performance and results of operations by, for example, required changes to operation constraints, technical criteria, fees or surety requirements.

30: We may produce air emissions and pollutions that could fall under the jurisdiction of U.S. Federal Laws.

Under the U.S. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, mining companies may incur costs for generating, transporting, treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous waste, as well as for closure and post-closure maintenance once they have completed mining activities on a property. Our mining operations may produce air emissions, including fugitive dust and other air pollutants, from stationary equipment, storage facilities, and the use of mobile sources such as trucks and heavy construction equipment which are subject to review, monitoring and/or control requirements under the Federal Clean Air Act and State air quality laws. Permitting rules may impose limitations on our production levels or create additional capital expenditures in order to comply with the rules.

31: Any new legislation that may be proposed could significantly affect the mining industry.

Members of the U.S. Congress have repeatedly introduced, and may introduce in the future, bills which would supplant or alter the provisions of the Mining Law of 1872. If enacted, such legislation could change the costs of holding unpatented mining claims and could significantly impact our ability to develop mineralized material on unpatented mining claims. In the past, such bills have proposed, among other things, to either eliminate or greatly limit the right to a

Return to Table of Contents

mineral patent and to impose a deferral royalty on production from unpatented mining claims. Although it is impossible to predict at this point what, if any, legislated royalties might be, any future enactment could adversely affect the potential for development of our mining claims on federal unpatented mining claims. Any future passage of such legislation could adversely affect our financial performance.

32: Increased costs could affect our financial condition.

We anticipate that costs on our Garnet Mineral Property will frequently be subject to variation from one year to the next due to a number of factors, such as changing mineralized material grade, metallurgy and revisions to mine plans in response to the physical shape and location of the mineralized material body. In addition, costs are affected by the price of commodities such as fuel and electricity. Such commodities are at times subject to volatile price movements, including increases that could make production at certain operations less profitable. A material increase in costs on our garnet Mineral Property could have a significant effect on our profitability.

33: In the event that our optioned mining claims become invalid, we will lose all rights that we have in the 23 patented and 122 unpatented mining claims.

We have an option to acquire 23 patented and 122 unpatented mining claims owned by Commonwealth. WGM Group, a professional survey company in Missoula, Montana, surveyed, staked and filed all 122 unpatented claims. These claims were staked on public lands administered by the BLM. The right to conduct exploration, development and production mining programs on these 122 unpatented mining claims is subject to permitting by the BLM. The right to conduct exploration, development and production mining programs on the 23 patented mining claims is subject to permitting by the Montana DEQ. The invalidity of any claims would have an adverse affect on any future revenues.

In order to keep the 122 unpatented mining claims in good standing, the BLM requires an annual maintenance fee be paid before August 31st of each year. In the event that these maintenance fees are not paid by the August 31st deadline, the mining claims become invalid and revert to the BLM. In the event that our mining claims become invalid, we will lose all rights that we have in the 122 unpatented mining claims.

In order to keep the 23 patented mining claims in good standing, the Granite County, Montana Treasurer requires assessed property taxes to be paid for each respective mining claim by July 31st of each year. If we fail to pay property taxes in a timely manner, we risk losing our rights in the 23 patented mining claims. Current annual assessment fees amount to $29,680 for unpatented claims and current property taxes on the 23 patented claims amount to $1,540. If these fees are not satisfied by us and/or Commonwealth, we would lose our rights in the claims and our shareholders would be adversely affected.

34: In the event we fail to make our scheduled option payments, we will lose all interest that we have in the optioned patented and unpatented mining claims.

We have an option to acquire 23 patented and 122 unpatented mining claims that are owned or optioned by Commonwealth. Under our Option Agreement with Commonwealth, in lieu of our required annual option payments of $190,000 due on June 15, 2012, Commonwealth has agreed to payment in either cash or in-kind by way of payments to third parties for surface improvements to the property made for the benefit of Commonwealth and valued at $190,000. The $190,000 annual option payment will resume during 2013 and 2014, and will increase to $400,000 during 2015 and 2016. Under our Surface Access Lease with Commonwealth we are required to make annual access lease payments of $60,000. In the event that we fail to make these payments in a timely manner, we may risk losing all rights in and to the claims.

35: In the event that our acquired mining claims and leasehold interests become invalid, we will lose the 91 unpatented mining claims and 8 leasehold interests.

On May 24, 2010, the Company entered into the Share Purchase Agreement with Commonwealth, to acquire 90 unpatented mining claims and 8 prospecting leases on United States BLM owned patented mining claims. We are required to make timely payment of all fees, including, but not limited to, all annual assessment fees required by the BLM, and, if applicable, timely take any other actions necessary to keep all unpatented claims in good standing. The 8 leasehold interests on BLM-owned patented claims rely upon a prospecting permit obtained through the DEQ. These leasehold interests will continue in perpetuity provided that the Company, (i) files an extension for its Prospecting Permit 90 days prior to the expiration date, (ii) tenders the annual rental payment, equal to $0.50 per acre, or a minimum of $20, (iii) drills or excavates at least one exploration hole, trench, test pit, or performs some other comparable exploration, and (iv) periodically updates the DEQ on our operations plan and obtains and maintains an adequate bond. In the event we fail to maintain the acquired mining claims and leasehold interests in good standing, or in the event we do not exercise our option to purchase the 122 unpatented and 23 patented mining claims, we are required to convey the 90 unpatented mining claims and 8 leasehold interests to Commonwealth at no cost to Commonwealth. The invalidity, and loss of our acquired claims and prospector leases would have an adverse affect on any future revenues and the shareholders would be subsequently adversely affected.

GHC acquired 90 unpatented mining claims from Commonwealth under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement of 2010. GHC acquired 177 unpatented mining claims through staking and filing in 2011. In order to keep the 90 and 177 unpatented claims is good standing, the BLM requires an annual maintenance fee of $140 be paid before August 31st of each year. In the event that these maintenance fees are not paid by the August 31st deadline, the mining claims become invalid and revert to the BLM. In the event that our mining claims become invalid, we will lose all rights that we have in the 90 and 177 unpatented claims.

36: We have not completed mapping and verification of our newly acquired 91 unpatented claims and 8 prospecting leases on BLM owned patented claims.

We are currently in the process of completing the verification of ownership and mapping on the new 91 unpatented mining claims and 8 prospecting leases on BLM owned patented claims, which were acquired pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement with Commonwealth dated May 24, 2010. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in this endeavor, and in the event we are unsuccessful, we will be unable to explore these claims. Our inability to explore these claims, or verify the ownership of these claims, would interfere with our growth opportunities and may materially adversely affect our business results of operations or financial condition.

37: We have been exploring a mineral claim, of which we own no right or title to the mineral rights thereon.

The Company has been doing preliminary exploratory work on one (1) patented mining claim referred to as the, Grant and Hartford patented mining claim, ms# 7327, for the purpose of potentially acquiring the mineral rights. As of the date of this Form 10-K, the Grant and Hartford mining claim is not included in the Company's optioned, nor purchased, mineral rights. In the event we are unable to obtain the mineral rights to the Grant and Hartford mining claim, we will be unable to proceed with our exploration activities on the claim and will lose the value of our exploration results that we have already completed on the claim area. In addition, in the event we are unable to obtain the mineral rights, we may be unable to recover the expenditure of time and money devoted to the exploration, which would have an adverse effect on the implementation of our business plan and potential revenues.

38: Compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley may result in our inability to achieve profitability.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted to increase corporate responsibility and accountability, to provide for enhanced penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties relating to publicly-traded companies, and to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures pursuant to U.S. federal securities laws. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act generally applies to all companies that file or are required to file periodic reports with the SEC, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Upon becoming a publicly reporting company, we are required to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and its costs to remain in compliance with the federal securities regulations. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly to attract or may deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and board committee members, which are required pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we may not be able to provide effective management or comply with federal law. Additionally, significant costs incurred as a result of being a public company could divert the use of finances from our operations resulting in the Company's inability to achieve profitability.

Risk Factors Relating to Our Common Stock and this Offering

39: We are required to annually evaluate our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any adverse results from such evaluation could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and have a material effect on the price of our Common Stock.

Under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish a report by our management on internal control over financial reporting. Such a report must contain, among other matters, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, including a statement as to whether or not our internal control over financial reporting is effective. This assessment must include disclosure of any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting identified by our management. If we are unable to maintain and to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if we disclose material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price.

40: Indemnification of Officers and Directors may prohibit stockholder action against the Company.

Our Bylaws provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by Montana law for any person whom we may indemnify thereunder; including our directors, officers, employees and agents. As a result, stockholders may be unable to recover damages against directors for actions taken by them in good faith and with the belief that such actions served the best interests of the Company, whether or not such actions actually did. Our Bylaws, therefore, may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and other types of stockholder litigation, even though such action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders.

41: We are subject to compliance with securities law, which exposes us to potential liabilities, including potential rescission rights.

Our shares of common stock have been offered to prospective investors pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Unless the sale of our common stock otherwise qualifies for the statutory private offering exemption provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, purchasers of our common stock may have the right to rescind their purchase if any of our offerings fail to comply with the requirements of Regulation D. A similar right may exist under state securities law. If we have used the proceeds raised from any of our offerings prior to the time at which a rescission claim is made, there can be no assurance that any funds will be available to return to any investors who may be entitled to the rescission of their purchase of our common stock.

The basis for relying on such exemptions is factual; that is, the applicability of such exemptions depends upon our conduct and that of those persons contacting prospective investors and completing the sales of our common stock pursuant to our various offering. We have not received a legal opinion to the effect that any of our prior offerings were exempt from

Return to Table of Contents

registration under any federal or state law. Instead, we have relied upon the operative facts as the basis for such exemptions, including information provided by investors themselves. If any prior offering did not qualify for such exemption, we may face claims for rescission and other remedies. We may become engaged in costly litigation to defend these claims, which would lead to increased expenditures for legal fees and divert management's attention from operating the business of the Company. If we could not successfully defend these claims, we may be required to return proceeds from our offerings to investors, which would harm our financial condition. Additionally, if we did not, in fact, qualify for the exemptions upon which we have relied, we may become subject to significant fines and penalties imposed by the SEC and state securities agencies.

42: The price of our Common Stock may be adversely affected by fluctuations in gold prices.

The price of our common stock, our financial results, and our exploration, and future development and mining activities may be significantly adversely affected by declines in the price of gold. Mineral prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, and the political and economic conditions of mineral producing countries throughout the world.

43: We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to distribute cash dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. In the future, the payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting us at such time as our Board of Directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

44: There is no public trading market for our Common Stock and no public market may develop.

Even though the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 was declared effective by the SEC on January 5, 2010, there is no trading market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that such a market will commence in the future. There can be no assurance that an investor will be able to liquidate his or her investment without considerable delay, if at all. If a trading market does commence, the price may be highly volatile.

45: Our Common Stock may be deemed a "penny stock", which would make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares

Our common stock in all likelihood will trade at a price below $5.00 per share and become subject to the "penny stock" rules enacted by the SEC. This would increase the likelihood that

Return to Table of Contents

many brokerage firms will not participate in a potential future market for our common stock. These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than "established customers" complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If we remain subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for our securities. If our securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities.

46: Our common stock is to certain restrictions on transferability.

Because our offerings of common stock have been made pursuant to Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and have not been registered; sales and other transfers of our common stock purchased in our various private offering are subject to certain restrictions as described in the section titled "Restriction on Transferability of Securities," which is found at the end of our offering documents.

47: Commonwealth owns a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

Commonwealth owns approximately 61.5%, or 20,759,532 shares of our total outstanding common stock. The following individuals, officers and affiliates of our Company, are members of Commonwealth and have beneficial ownership and the right to vote the following shares of our Company held by Commonwealth: Eric Sauve, 2,218,945 shares; Aaron Charlton, 11,645,181 shares; Kim L. Charlton, 2,255,830 shares and Rodney K. Haynes, 4,639,576 shares. Accordingly, these stockholders, as a group, will be able to control, among other things, the outcome of stockholders votes, including the election of directors, adoption of amendments to our Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation and approval of significant corporate transactions such as mergers. Eric Sauve is our President, CEO, CFO and a director, Aaron Charlton, our Senior Consultant, supervises our drilling program, deals with contractors and is our liaison with the BLM state and local agencies, Kim Charlton is Aaron Charlton's sister. The interests of Commonwealth and our management may not coincide with the interests of our shareholders, which could result in a loss of confidence by our shareholders or potential investors adversely affecting the value of our common stock. Any conflicts of interest between the Company and Commonwealth could delay the implementation of our business plan, which could have a detrimental effect on our business and the value of our shareholders' investment.

Our mailing address is 2620 Connery Way, Missoula, Montana 59808. During the third quarter of 2011, we moved our executive offices into cabins owned by Commonwealth, which are

located on the Garnet Mineral Property, at 7 Tiger Lode Trail, Garnet, Montana. We do not pay Commonwealth rent for the use of this space under the terms of the amended option agreement that allows us to make surface improvements in lieu of cash payment of the annual option payment. We also rent a 1,000 square foot field office at 43 C Street, Drummond, Montana, pursuant to an oral agreement on a month to month basis at a rate of $650 per month. These facilities are sufficient for our current needs; however, we may require larger facilities as we carry out our business strategy.

The Company does not own any property, but has acquired an exclusive option to purchase the mineral interests to 23 patented mineral claims and 122 unpatented mineral claims located within the Garnet Mining District of Granite County, Montana from Commonwealth. On May 24, 2010, we purchased 90 unpatented mining claims and 8 prospecting leases on BLM owned patented mining claims from Commonwealth pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement.

The Company's mining property is located in Granite County near the ghost town of Garnet, Montana. The property is accessible by four wheel drive vehicle via HWY 200, which runs north of the property in an east and west direction until the junction with Garnet Range Road, which runs directly into the property in a north and south direction. The property is also accessible via I-90, which runs south of the property in an east and west direction and junctions with Bear Gulch Road, which runs directly into the heart of the property in a north and south direction, eventually merging with the previously mentioned Garnet Range Road.

In 2011, we acquired, by staking and registering, 177 new unpatented mining claims in Beaverhead, Broadwater, Granite, Jefferson, Madison, Missoula, Powell and Sanders Counties, Montana. The claim blocks are distributed over seven counties in Western Montana.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company issued nine (9) Production Loan Agreements to accredited investors, in an aggregate sum raised of $660,000, which are due in full between March and June 2012. Additionally, as of December 31, 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 132,000 Production Warrants valued at $264,000. Of the total Production Loan Agreements issued, four (4) of the loans totaling $310,000 converted to 155,000 shares of the Company's no par value common stock. In recognition of the foregone interest each lender was issued 5,000 warrants to purchase the Company's no par value common stock with an exercise price of $0.00 per share for each $100,000 loaned to the Company for a total of 13,000 warrants valued at $26,000. One Production Loan Agreement for $50,000 was converted on the same day it was signed and no interest was accrued. After conversion, the remaining balance of the Production Loans at December 31, 2011 was $350,000.

The above short-term notes include a discount in the form of cash and warrants that have been charged by the lenders in consideration for making the various loans. The discount will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the related note, which is between six (6) and sixteen (16) months. For the period ended December 31, 2011, the gross discount was $494,036 of which $290,986 has been amortized and charged to interest expense leaving a net unamortized discount of $203,050.

Between February 16, 2011 and May 17, 2011, pursuant to a PPM, relying on an exemption provided by Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company offered through its Placement Agent, Source Capital Group, Inc. on a best efforts basis, an aggregate of 6,160,000 shares of the Company's no par value common stock at a purchase price of $1.25 per common share ("Shares") for the aggregate offering amount of $7,700,000. The Company issued 316,400 shares for $395,500 in cash less issuance costs of $66,154 for net proceeds of $329,346.

Executive Summary

Our Company is a mineral exploration, development and production company; that is currently in the exploration stage of historically designated mineralized material on the Garnet Mineral Property, located in Missoula, Montana. We have acquired an exclusive option to purchase the mineral rights to 23 patented mineral claims and 122 unpatented mineral claims located within the Garnet Mining District of Granite County, Montana from Commonwealth. We purchased an additional 90 unpatented mining claims and 8 lease hold interests on BLM owned patented mining claims from Commonwealth pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement dated May 24, 2010. Commonwealth, is owned by Aaron Charlton, Rodney K. Haynes, Kim L. Charlton and Eric Sauve. Mr. Eric Sauve is our president, CEO, CFO, and Director. Mr. Aaron Charlton is our Senior Consultant and NEO. Messrs. Charlton and Sauve are two of the Company's full time employees. Aaron Charlton and Eric Sauve are related parties to our Company, Grant Hartford Corporation.

Exploration activities on the Garnet Mineral Property were minimal in 2011. Most of the planned drilling and exploration activities for 2011 were deferred, due to commencement of constructing a portal, 400 feet of decline and building surface facilities for the new Nancy Hanks Mine. The Company also rebuilt and surfaced the Nancy Hanks haul roads with 28,000 tons of gravel. During 2011 the Company shipped 32,000 tons of historic Mine Dumps from the Lead King Mine and recovered 1,500 ounces of gold from processing the ore at Golden Sunlight's Toll Mill in Whitehall, Montana. The decision to begin mine development at the Nancy Hanks resulted from the assessment of exploration drilling completed in 2010.

Many of the exploration activities planned for 2011 will be resumed in 2012.

Mr. Bob Flesher prepared the "2011 Grant Hartford Exploration Plan," which set forth the drilling plan for the 2011 season. Our exploration objectives for 2011 were designed to further expand our knowledge of mineralized vein structures in the Garnet Mineral Property, bring more mineralized material into a preliminary reserve category to be used in our amended feasibility study, and to explore the extents of several of the major vein structures as identified by Dr. Sears. We continued to incorporate the available historic and current mining data on the Garnet Mineral Property into our Vulcan Sub-Surface 3D Mine Modeling Program. We have plans to establish an on-site fire assay laboratory for more efficient field assessment during 2011. Our geologic team planned to open, enter, map and sample as many historic workings as possible in anticipation of performing geophysical work on the property, which will include running lines along the intrusive contact to discover deposits which may not have surface expression.

During the third quarter of 2011, we began mine portal construction for the Nancy Hanks underground mine; purchased several pieces of essential heavy equipment; continued construction on mining infrastructure including miners' office, fuel and power depot, repair shops and mine safety and security building. The construction was 75% completed as of

106

December 31, 2011 and we anticipate completing these construction projects in the second quarter of 2012. Subject to further financing, the completion of our amended feasibility study and pending the continued shipment of mineralized material to the Golden Sunlight Mill from the Lead King mine site, which began in July, 2011; we anticipate continuing preparations to begin underground mining operations on the Nancy Hanks mine site.

During the third quarter ending September 30, 2011, the Company completed the Nancy Hanks mine portal and is currently in the process of constructing the 3,500 ore haul way.

Excavation of the Nancy Hanks mine began in late June of 2011 and then closed in September of 2011. The work executed to date was performed by New Millennium Mining and Contracting. In September, New Millennium had excavated, including the 24 feet at the adit, 380 feet of the decline. At this time Grant Hartford Corporation decided to discontinue use of the contractor. Between September and December 2011 Grant Hartford's employees and various contractors were undertaking the task of construction and installation of required infrastructure.

In June, 2011, Grant Hartford subcontracted with Smith Contracting, of Butte, Montana, through November, 2011, and in December, 2011, with Barkell Trucking, Inc. of Philipsburg, Montana, to extract the Lead King ore dumps and truck the ore to the Golden Sunlight Toll Mill, located in Whitehall, Montana.

In 2011, we acquired, by staking and registering, 177 new unpatented mining claims in Beaverhead, Broadwater, Granite, Jefferson, Madison, Missoula, Powell and Sanders Counties, Montana.

We intend to exercise the option and purchase the 23 patented and 122 unpatented mineral claims subject to completion of a full feasibility study and our ability to adequately capitalize the Company. We are currently in the process of exploring several of the patented mineral claims and prospecting leases and continuing the exploration, evaluation and mapping of the remaining patented and unpatented claims.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of the financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures. Though we evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis, our actual results may differ from these estimates.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2011, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

(a) Plan of Operation.

Our independent auditor has noted that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern at December 31, 2011. In light of our lack of revenues, and operating capital, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon future events, such as the successful exploration and the future development and production of the Garnet Mineral Property, our ability to engage the services of highly qualified consultants who have expertise in the industry and our ability to secure additional sources of financing. See Risk Factor 3, "Auditor has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern."

Our current plan of operation for 2012 is to continue mineralized material shipments from the Lead King mine site ms#4511 to the Golden Sunlight Mill; continue conducting exploration activities on the Willie Lode Mining Claim mmc#210813, Lead King Quartz Lode Mining Claim ms#4511, Nancy Hanks Lode Mining Claim, ms#5365, Tostman Prospecting Lease ms#7514, and the Grant and Hartford Mining Claim ms#7327 to continue to establish continuity between drill holes of mineralized material found on those claims; to continue drill and surface sampling in the contact and Coloma zones; to continue exploring the remaining patented and unpatented mining claims in order to designate additional mineralized material; to continue with mapping activities on the entire Garnet Mineral Property; to continue preparations to begin underground mining operations at the Nancy Hanks mine site, which began during the second quarter of 2011; and to proceed with the preparation of our amended feasibility study. Our 2011 exploration program was designed to expand on drill results from 2009 and 2010, as well as results from Pegasus' exploration project, which identified 16 different areas of high grade mineralized material. We currently hold a Small Miners Exclusion Statement (#46-032) issued by the State of Montana which allows us to mine an unlimited amount within a five acre area of surface disturbance. We also hold an Exploration License (#00545), which has been issued by the State of Montana.

The Company incurred expenses of $4,927,973 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2011. The monthly average expenditure for both capital and expense items in 2011 was approximately $410,664.

(b) Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition.

Liabilities	At December 31, 2011	At December 31, 2010
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	$2,903,754	$1,643,972

the retirement of rental fees for, and the subsequent purchase of, heavy equipment to facilitate operations on the Garnet Mineral Property, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses from $1,643,972 at December 31, 2010, to $2,903,754 at December 31, 2011 representing an overall increase of $1,259,782 or approximately 77%. This increase in costs was related to the costs to begin shipping mineralized material to the Golden Sunlight Mill from the Lead King mine site, along with beginning the portal in order to begin underground mining on the Nancy Hanks patented claim and continued work on the updated feasibility study. Amounts due to related parties increased by $273,159, or approximately 40%, from $682,914 at December 31, 2010 to $956,073 at December 31, 2011 due to the inability to pay for the continued work load required of our management in order to carry out our plan of operations. The Company at December 31, 2011, made option payments regarding mineral rights of $5,854 as compared to making $0 payments at December 31, 2010.

Stockholders'Equity	At December 31, 2011	At December 31, 2010
Accumulated deficit-exploration stage	$(13,391,272)	$(8,932,409)
Total Stockholders' Equity	$4,332,107	$6,229,011

As compared to the period ended December 31, 2010, the Company's accumulated deficit increased by $4,458,863, or approximately 50%, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, which accounts for the net losses for the period. As compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Company's total stockholders' equity decreased by $1,896,904, or approximately 30%, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. This decrease was primarily due to a sixty to ninety day delay in receiving revenues to offset costs incurred through the shipment of mineralized material tailings from the Lead King mine site to the Golden Sunlight Mill. This decrease was further exacerbated by the lack of performance during the first half of 2011 by our Placement Agent, Source Capital Group, Inc.'s, failure to complete the private placement of our common stock pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum dated February 16, 2011. We relied on an exemption provided by Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for our Private Placement. We began this offering through Source Capital, and our Officers and Directors, on a "best efforts basis", an aggregate of 6,160,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.25 per share. Through this offering, which closed on May 17, 2011, only 316,400 shares were purchased for $395,500 by 17 accredited investors.

Income Taxes

For the period from inception March 15, 2007 through December 31, 2011, we paid $200 in income taxes.

Results of Operations - Fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

Revenues

No revenue was generated during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 pursuant to the Company's primary business operations. The Company does, however, have an agreement in place to sell a maximum of 30,000 short tons of ore from old tailings from the Lead King mine to Golden Sunlight Mines, Inc. However, by an oral agreement between the parties, the maximum short tons was changed to 32,000 short tons. Revenue generated from this activity is ancillary to the primary operations of the Company and is therefore classified as Other Income. Therefore, as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, we generated other income of $469,110, as compared to $0 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Operating Loss

Surface access lease payments	$59,999	$59,999
Total	$4,927,973	$4,332,368

As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, we incurred a loss before other income of $4,927,973, as compared to $4,332,368 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of $595,605 representing an approximate 14% increase in net losses. As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, we realized other income of $469,110 as compared to $0 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. This resulted in a net loss of $4,458,863 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $4,332,368 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. While there was a nominal increase in operating losses, there were several significant fluctuations in the expenses making up the Company's operating losses. Management fees decreased by $328,026 or approximately 33% as a result of the absence of the stock compensation bonuses awarded to the Company's Vice Presidents of Corporate Finance and Marketing during the first quarter of 2010 and through the elimination of the Vice President of Marketing position. General and administrative costs increased by $249,589 or approximately 57%, and professional fees decreased by $36,419 or approximately 6%. Geological and property expenses increased by $422,917 or approximately 20%, which was attributable to portal construction and other preparations to begin underground mining on the Nancy Hanks patented claim, continued work on the updated feasibility study, the establishment of an on-site fire assay laboratory and continued mineralized material shipments from the Lead King site to the Golden

Sunlight Mill. Interest expenses increased by $287,544 or approximately 219%, which was due to an increase in the Company's need to enter into short-term debt instruments for the purposes of carrying out our plan of operations during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. Surface access lease payments represented no change.

Liquidity and Financial Resources

We had a deficit of $5,589,154 at fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, compared to a deficit of $2,077,836 at December 31, 2010. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, net cash used in operating activities was $2,204,288, as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 of $1,988,160. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, net cash used in investing activities was $700,953, as compared to $223,020 used in fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, financing activities provided $2,905,841 as a result of the Company entering into a short term debt instrument for the purchase of heavy and industrial equipment and through the sale of our common stock pursuant to a Private Placement Memorandum dated February 16, 2011, and a Private Placement Memorandum dated July 27, 2011, which are further described under Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities; Issuance of Unregistered Shares of Common Stock section of this Form 10-K, as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, financing activities provided $2,148,787 as a result of the Company entering into Promissory Notes and through the sale of our common stock pursuant to the Exempt Offering dated January 2010.

At the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, we had cash of $1,894.

From the date of the incorporation of March 15, 2007 through December 31, 2011, we have paid for services valued at $1,078,000 through the issuance of 957,525 common shares, have raised an aggregate of $2,826,677 in cash through the issuance of 3,104,974 common shares, and paid debt of $5,360,634, which included interest resulting from the Company's short-term notes, through the issuance of the Company's no par value common stock.

The Company, through its Officers' and Directors' relationships with friends, family members and close business associates, intends to correct any deficiency in working capital through the sale of our common equity to investors, debt offerings and/or through the identification of and potentially entering into arrangements with strategic partners in order to fund our operations in 2012. The Company believes it has identified sufficient funding for its growth from these sources.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Through December 31, 2011, our management was responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as that term is defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting was a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our control environment was the foundation for our system of internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures were being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated framework. Based on our assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2011 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

As of January 6, 2011, and as more fully described in our Form 8-K filed on January 19, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors resolved to change the responsibility of evaluating the Company's Controls and Procedures from the Board of Directors and Management to the newly created Compensation, Corporate Governance and Audit Committees, each composed of three (3) independent members. The Audit Committee is composed of three (3) independent members who are familiar with accounting and financial matters. This new Audit Committee will be tasked with the responsibility of determining the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure Controls and Procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

Upon the formation of the Audit Committee, its Charter was adopted on January 13, 2011, and it is now tasked with appointing an independent third party to do an independent review in order to provide the Company with reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for internal purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the period beginning January 1, 2011.

Once the independent third party completes its report, it will be referred to the Audit Committee for its review and comments if necessary. The report will then go to the entire Board of Directors for their review and comments. Once accepted by the Board of Directors, the final report will be provided to the Shareholders for a vote to accept the report at the Annual Shareholder meeting or at a Special Shareholder meeting if necessary.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Due to its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any 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.

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Furthermore, due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and the breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any system's design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Grant Hartford Corporation

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Grant Hartford Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011 and for the period since inception (March 15, 2007) through December 31, 2011. Grant Hartford Corporation's management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Grant Hartford Corporation as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2011 and for the period since inception (March 15, 2007) through December 31, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

GRANT HARTFORD CORPORATION (An Exploration Stage Comany)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Grant Hartford Corporation (the "Company") was organized under the laws of the State of Montana on March 15, 2007. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in the exploration of the Garnet mineral property in order to identify the presence of proven/probable reserves. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company maintains its books and prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon its ability to continue to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future.

The following table identifies the factors that create uncertainty about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary as a result of the outcome of the uncertainty.

	Year ended December 31,
	2011
Working Capital	$	(5,589,154	)
Deficit	$	(13,391,272	)

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Income Taxes: Income taxes are provided on the income earned in the financial statements. In accordance with FASB ASC 740 10 20, the Company applies the liability method of accounting for income taxes, under which deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the impact of "temporary differences" between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized.

In accordance with FASB ASC 740 10 20, the Company recognized no material adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. By statute, tax years ending in December 31, 2008 through 2011 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash: The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash at financial institutions which may periodically exceed federally insured amounts.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2011

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Buildings, Invprovements and Equipment: Fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis using the following useful lives:


Computer hardware and software		3-5 years
Machinery and equipment		4-7 years
Furniture and fixtures		5-10 years
Land improvements		10-20 years
Buildings and improvements		15-39 years

All maintenance and repair costs are charged to operations as incurred. The cost and accumulated depreciation for equipment sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in earnings. The assets and liabilities under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the asset. The assets are currently being amortized over their estimated lives. Amortization of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation expense.

Mineral Property Exploration: The Company expenses the costs incurred to conduct exploration, assay work, drill and equip exploratory sites within the claims groups that are not determined to have proven reserves. A reserve is that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. Proven (Measured) Reserves are those for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well-established. Probable (Indicated) Reserves are those for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed form information similar to that used for proven (measure) reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven (measured) reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation. Geological and geophysical costs and costs of carrying and retaining unproved sites are expensed.

The Company is in the "Exploration Stage" and is engaged in the exploration of the Garnet mineral property in order to identify the presence of proven/probable reserves. The Company has not begun exploitation of these deposits. As a result, no amounts have been capitalized related to mineral property exploration as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Accumulated mineral property costs are amortized using the units of production ("UOP") method based on estimated recoverable ounces or pounds in proven and probable reserves.

Long-lived Assets: The Company periodically assesses the carrying value of long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360 10. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets not held for sale by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with them. If such evaluations indicate that the future discounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values.

Mining assets, including mineral rights and mine development, are also periodically assessed for impairment in accordance with FASB ASC 360 10 and FASB ASC 930 360 35. There was no loss on impairment for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Revenue Recognition: Sales of all gold ore sold directly to the Company's buyer are recorded as revenues when title and risk of loss transfer to the buyer (generally at the time shipment is delivered at buyer's port) at estimated forward prices on the fifth (5th) day of the month after the shipment was made. Due to the time elapsed from shipment and the final settlement with the buyer, we must estimate the prices at which sales of our gold ore will be settled. Previously recorded sales are adjusted to estimated settlement metals prices until final settlement by the buyer.

Sales to the Company's buyer are recorded net of charges by the buyer for assay and metallurgical testing, treatment,refining, smelting losses, and other charges negotiated by the Company with the buyer. Charges are estimated upon shipment of concentrates based on contractual terms, and actual charges do not vary materially from estimates.

Changes in the London PM fixed price of gold between shipment and final settlement will result in adjustments to revenues related to sales of gold ore previously recorded upon shipment. Sales of gold ore are based on a provisional sales price containing an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the concentrates at the forward price at the time of the sale. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is adjusted to market through earnings each period prior to final settlement.

There were no material derivatives at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

The Company has an agreement in place to sell a maximum of 30,000 short tons of ore from old tailings of the Lead King mine to Golden Sunlight Mines, Inc. Revenue generated from this activity is ancillary to the primary operations of the Company and is therefore classified as Other Income. The components comprising Other Income are as follows for the year ended December 31, 2011:

Gross value of ore processed	$	2,683,992
Less mill fees		(770,334	)
Less shipping fees		(1,361,547	)
Less net smelter return (NSR) fees on production loans		(83,001	)

Net Other Income	$	469,110

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts that reflects management's best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management individually reviews all accounts receivable balances that exceed ninety (90) days from invoice date and based on an assessment of current creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to trade accounts receivable. Management believes the balance of accounts receivable is fully collectible, therefore no allowance for doubtful accounts has been established.

The balance of accounts receivable is comprised of proceeds to be received from one buyer of gold ore from the Lead King Mine tailings.

On July 13, 2010, pursuant to a PPM, relying on an exemption provided by Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company began offering through its Placement Agent, Matrix Capital Group, on a best efforts basis, an aggregate of 4,400,000 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Shares") at a purchase price of $1.25 per Series A Preferred Share.

Pursuant to a Board of Directors meeting and due to the fact that no sales were made, and no Series A Preferred Shares were issued pursuant to the PPM, the Company removed the preemptive and other special voting rights afforded the holders of the Company's $0.0001 par value Series A Preferred Stock, by amending and restating the Articles of Incorporation following shareholder approval in July 2011.

On May 25, 2010 and pursuant to a Subscription Agreement and Summary upon which the Company relied upon an exemption provided by Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company issued O'Keefe an aggregate of 480,000 shares of the Company's no par value common stock at an offering price of $1.25 per share, for a total purchase price of drilling services valued at $600,000. As of May 25, 2010, O'Keefe had performed services valued at $518,037 for a total issuance of 414,430 shares of the Company's no par value common stock. As of August 10, 2010, O'Keefe completed the balance of the contracted services and were issued 65,570 shares of the Company's no par value common stock valued at $81,963.

The Company has 5,956,553 and 5,465,313 warrants issued and outstanding with exercise prices between $0.00 and $2.50 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which were excluded from diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti dilutive.

Warrants
Management has valued the warrants at their date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. Since there is no public market for the Company shares, the fair value of the underlying shares was determined based on recent transactions by the Company to sell shares to third parties. Further, the excepted volatility was calculated using the average of historical volatility of two similar public entities in the gold mining industry in accordance with Question 6 of SAB Topic 14.D.1. In making this determination and finding other similar companies, the Company considered the industry, stage of life cycle, size and financial leverage of such other entities. Based on the exploration stage of the Company, similar companies with enough historical data are rare, however, the Company was able to find two entities that met the industry criterion and as a result have based its expected volatility off an average of these companies' historical stock prices for a period similar to the expected term of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the expected life of the warrants depending on the date of the grant and expected life of the warrants. The expected life of warrants used was based on the contractual life of the option granted. The Company determined the expected dividend rate based on the assumption and expectation that earnings generated from operations are not expected to be adequate to allow for the payment of dividends in the near future.
