Item 1. Description of Business.

ORGANIZATION WITHIN THE LAST THREE YEARS

Oro East Mining, Inc. (“Oro East”) was incorporated in Delaware as Accelerated Acquisitions I, Inc. on February 15, 2008.

The Company’s primary business focus at present is the development of its three substantial piles of crushed gold ores (“WMUs”) at an aggregate mine in Carson Hill, California (the “Carson Hill Project”) owned and managed by the Company’s privately held subsidiary, Oro East Mariposa, LLC, a California limited liability company. The real property that the crushed gold ores and Carson Hill Project is situated on is owned by Sutton Enterprises, located on the south side of Highway 49 in the central Sierra foothills of Calaveras County. The Company, through Oro Eat Mariposa, LLC has obtained a right of entry and access to the crushed ores, which are personal property now owned by Oro East Mariposa, LLC.

In 2015 the Company continued with its development of a proprietary invention that would use parabolic solar energy to process dry mining gold tailings. It intends to implement the technology at the Carson Hill Project site. On or about July 6, 2015, the Company filed a provisional patent application with the U.S. Patents and Trademarks Office. The patent pending invention would help the Company extract water from dry tailings from gold mining production. The purpose of the patent pending invention is to recycle and reuse all processed water. Such a process will advance mining production technology in a more eco-friendly direction, especially in light of California’s current drought.

Additionally, the Company continued its inquiry into various possible asset acquisitions to expand its mining production operations. Due diligence for various assets and preliminary negotiations commenced to seek further asset acquisitions for the Company. However, at this time, no agreements have been finalized.

On or about October 19, 2015, Oro East Mining, Inc. (“Company”) became the sole member of Golden Steps, LLC, with Tian Q, Chen, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company serving as the managing member for Golden Steps, LLC (“the LLC”). The LLC has entered into collaborations with Shenzhen Citic International Travel Co. Ltd. (“Shenzhen CITC”), a Chinese limited liability company, a business specializing in international sightseeing tours for Chinese nationals, to set up a tourist attraction along Route 49 in California, including Company held mine sites, to offer tourists a view of the history and legacy of California gold mining (“49er Historical Gold Rush Tour”). The 49er Historical Gold Rush Tour will stop at Company held mine sites as members of the Company provide historic information about the Chinese American experience during the California Gold Rush in the 1800s. As of the filing date of this report, Shenzhen CITC has not organized a 49er Historical Gold Rush Tour to California yet.

The LLC and Shenzhen CITC entered into a Profit Sharing Agreement on October 19, 2015 to memorialize the collaboration. The LLC will have secured rights from the Company to enter certain secured areas of the Company’s mine sites. At this time the projected aim is to develop certain unused areas of the sites that can be used to house tourists, build recreation centers, or cultural museums in furtherance of the 49er Historical Gold Rush Tour collaboration.

The Company explored its Red Bank Mine assets in Mariposa County, California. It entered into a letter of intent with Red Bank Trust for the purchase of mining claims known as the Red Bank Mine (“Red Bank Mine”). On December 12, 2014, the Company entered into a binding letter of intent with Red Bank Trust for the purchase of certain lode and placer mining claims and all mineral rights thereto, spanning 55 deeded acres in Mariposa County known as the Red Bank Mines, including an easement, right of entry, and other rights and interests as set forth in the letter of intent (“Mining Claims and Mineral Rights”). A long-form purchase agreement for the Mining Claims and Mineral Rights that integrates the letter of intent will be prepared by mutually agreed upon legal counsel or licensed brokers within 20 days of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period as set forth in the letter of intent.

On or about May 20, 2015, the Company executed an extension for the Red Bank Mine conditions and the due diligence period for the Red Bank Mine transaction has been extended until November 30, 2016. The parties agreed to a consideration valuation of $2,000,000.00 (Two Million U.S. Dollars) paid in part with 20,000,000 restricted shares of Company stock, which the parties value at $1,000,000.00, and paid in part with a Convertible Promissory Note and Convertible Note Purchase Agreement to Yan Ming Wu, the named beneficiary of the Red Bank Trust, in the sum of $1,000,000.00. Yan Ming Wu is a foreign national and citizen of the People’s Republic of China. As of the filing date of this report, the Company is still performing its due diligence related to the Red Bank letter of intent.

Table of Contents

The Company had previously entered into a Mining Lease and Royalties Agreement executed on June 24, 2013. Upon the execution of the letter of intent, the Agreement is voided, though in the event that the transactions contemplated by the letter of intent are not completed, the Agreement will be automatically effective again and enforceable upon termination of the letter of intent.

The Red Bank Mine property is located approximately 17 miles north of the town of Mariposa, California. We are currently conducting mineral exploration activities on the Red Bank Mine property in order to assess whether it contains any commercially exploitable mineral reserves. Currently there are no known mineral reserves on the Red Bank Mine property.

The Company had a geological evaluation report on the Red Bank Mine property prepared, entitled “National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on Red Bank Mine – 81 Acres, Apns 003-350-0050; 003-340-0070; And 003-330-0060, Mariposa County, California, for Oro East Mining, Inc.” (the “Report”) by Robert Campbell, M.S., California Professional Geologist, California Certified Engineering Geologist and Principal Engineering Geologist of GeoSolve, Inc., on December 29, 2014.

On January 21, 2015, Oro East entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement and Convertible Promissory Note with a foreign investor lender for the sum of $720,000.00 (Seven Hundred Twenty Thousand U.S. Dollars) at an interest rate of 8% (Eight Percent) to be repaid on or before July 21, 2015. The convertible note was extended to July 21, 2016 with the conversion price changed from $0.09 (Nine Cents) to $0.02 (Two Cents) per share.

On September 24, 2014, the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Central Valley Water Board (“Water Board”) approved Oro East’s Carson Hill Mining Waste Reclassification Project in a memorandum issued by the Water Board. The waste management unit stockpiles of gold concentrates, or the WMUs, at Carson Hill, one of the Company’s current gold production projects, consist of spent gold ore currently classified by the Water Board as “Group B mining waste.” Group B mining waste is considered hazardous or to contain soluble pollutants that exceed water quality objectives. Under Oro East’s Reclassification Project, the spent gold ore would be processed into waste that qualifies for a reclassification to “Group C mining waste.” Group C mining waste fully complies with water quality objectives and therefore fundamentally transforms the gold production process at Carson Hill into a green, environmentally-friendly, and sustainable process.

On September 8, 2014, Rex Yuen, Chief Financial Officer of Oro East Mining, Inc. (“Company”) resigned from his position at the Company. The Company issued a press release on September 8, 2014 announcing Mr. Yuen’s departure.

On August 1, 2014, the Company entered into a promissory note for a principal sum of $800,000 (Eight Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars) with a 15% interest payment per annum on the unpaid principal, calculated yearly and not in advance. The note was extended to April 30, 2016.

The Sale and Purchase Agreement with Royal Asset Management (“RAM”), a trading company based in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, executed on January 31, 2014 with the May 6, 2014 amendment converting the $1,000,000 payment advanced to the Company was paid off effective August 1, 2014.

On July 14, 2014, the Company entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement with an individual investor. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company offered and sold a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) for aggregate proceeds of $500,000. The Note bears interest at 12% annually, which interest compounds annually, and all principal and interest is due not later than January 14, 2015. All principal and interest due under the Note is convertible, at the election of the holder of the Note, into shares of common stock of the Company at a rate of $0.20 (Twenty Cents) per share. The convertible note was extended to April 15, 2016 with the conversion price changed to $0.04 (Four Cents) per share.

On July 7, 2014, the Company completed a shipment of 15 tons of gold concentrates to Royal Asset Management (“RAM”), an Abu Dhabi based asset management company held by His Highness Shaikh Saqer Al Nahyan and royal family. RAM remains one of OROE’s top buyers. The RAM shipment marks an important nascent milestone for the Carson Hill Gold Project. The success of the pilot test phase bodes well for the Company’s continued expansion of its current gold stockpile operations.

On July 3, 2014, the Company executed a Consulting Agreement with Hobson Consultants Limited (“Hobson”), a Hong Kong consulting firm, for a two-year engagement of consulting services to help the Company build strategic relationships in East Asia. Hobson would be compensated in shares of Company stock, 6,750,000 restricted shares, and the shares will vest through the service term.

Also on July 3, 2014, the Company executed a Finder’s Fee Agreement with Smarteam Asia Limited (“Smarteam”), a Hong Kong investor relations management company, for a two-year engagement of services to help the Company promote and fund raise in East Asia. Smarteam would be compensated in shares of Company stock, 7,500,000 restricted shares, and the shares will vest through the service term. In addition, Smarteam would be compensated with a finder’s fee equivalent to 10% of any total funding raised by the direct promotional efforts of Smarteam, payable as Company stock at $0.15 per share.

On May 27, 2014, the board of directors with the majority of voting power held by the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (i) increasing the number of authorized shares of common stock from 100,000,000 to 2,000,000,000, and (ii) effecting a twenty-for-one (20:1) forward split of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The forward split was effective with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority as of the opening of business on June 12, 2014. As a result of the forward stock split, each share of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding at the close of business on June 12, 2014 was split into 20 shares of the Company’s common stock.

On December 24, 2013, Oro East Mariposa, LLC, a California limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Subsidiary”) entered into an Asset Purchase and Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sutton Enterprises, a general partnership. Under the terms of the Agreement, Subsidiary purchased certain mineralized material we believe are gold tailings, tangible property, and other entitlements commonly referred to by the parties as the WMUs located on certain parcels of real property located in the County of Calaveras, State of California. The total purchase price for the WMUs is $6,000,000.00 and 30% net royalties contingent on the obtaining of all local, state, and other applicable agency approvals for the gold mineral concentrates production contemplated, which still have not been met yet as of the filing date of this report. Thereafter, the $6,000,000.00 shall be paid in certain installments, and the 30% net royalties will be held in escrow as secured collateral against the Agreement in favor of the Subsidiary. The Agreement further reserves an Option in favor of the Subsidiary for purchase of 39 parcels of real property as described in the Agreement and all claims rights, business assets, and additional property and assets as set forth in the Agreement for a purchase price of $32,000,000.00 less the $6,000,000.00 already paid on the WMUs. The Option period is for 180 days from the date of the contract and was expired. The Subsidiary made payments totaling about $127,000 to Sutton Enterprises that will be applied towards the purchase price. The said payment was included and presented as “Other Current Assets” on the consolidated financial statements.

On December 5, 2013, we entered into a Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the “Note Agreement”) with one investor. Under the terms of the Note Agreement, the Company offered and sold a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) for aggregate proceeds of $360,000. Closing for the Note sale took place on December 6, 2013. The Note bears interest at 12% annually, which interest compounds annually, and all principal and interest is due no later than June 5, 2014. All principal and interest due under the Note was converted into shares of common stock of the Company on June 5, 2014.

On November 8, 2013, Typhoon Haiyan devastated the Davao region of the Philippines where the Company’s MPSA 320-2010-XI claim is located. The typhoon swept away and destroyed roads, developed lands, and buildings. On the grounds of force majeure, the Company’s mining operations ceased and are presently ceased indefinitely as the region focuses on rebuilding itself. As a result of Typhoon Haiyan, there have been no further activities by the company in the Philippines.

That same month the Company directors convened to discuss the trajectory of its business and decided unanimously to focus business in the United States, in particular gold and other precious mineral acquisitions in California. The Company voted to cease exploration in the Philippines and invest fully in developing its business acquisitions in the mineral industry within the United States.

In October 2013, Oro East Mariposa issued an additional 158,000 units to a foreign corporation owned by a shareholder. The Company now owns 95% equity interest of Oro East Mariposa. Through Oro East Mariposa, the Company sought out prospective minerals investment opportunities throughout California.

On June 3, 2013, the Company established the California subsidiary Oro East Mariposa, LLC for the purpose of conducting mining or minerals exploration business in the State of California, in the United States. On June 24, 2013, the Company, through its subsidiary, entered into an exclusive Mining Lease and Royalties Agreement for the Red Bank Gold Mine (“Red Bank”). Red Bank is located in the Mother Lode vein system just east of San Francisco and within the western Sierra Nevada Ranges.

On May 13, 2013 the Company redeemed from AVP 1,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company for an aggregate redemption price of $150.00, pursuant to a Stock Redemption Agreement. AVP is still a holder of 1,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company following the redemption. The Company returned the 1,500,000 shares redeemed from AVP to the authorized stock of the Company.

On May 8, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and adopted the terms and provisions of a 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the Company. An aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are initially reserved for issuance under the Plan. As of December 31, 2013, 4,959,000 shares were available for grant under the Plan.

IN GENERAL

Oro East Mining, Inc. (“Oro East”), through its subsidiary Oro East Mariposa, LLC, had to suspend gold processing in 2015 due to the California drought. The drought in the region of the Oro East mines resulted in a shortage of water that barred ordinary gold processing. However, the pilot study for the field scale flotation plant and portable filter press was ongoing. In lieu, the Company focused its efforts on development of its proprietary invention that would use parabolic solar energy to process dry mining gold tailings. It intends to implement the technology at the Carson Hill Project site. On or about July 6, 2015, the Company filed a provisional patent application with the U.S. Patents and Trademarks Office. The purpose of the patent pending invention is to recycle and reuse all processed water. Such a process will advance mining production technology in a more eco-friendly direction, especially in light of California’s current drought.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RED BANK PROJECT

The Company does not at this time own the assets described below, but rather, has a binding option to purchase from Red Bank that gives the Company the option and right to purchase the assets contingent on the Company’s satisfaction with the results of its due diligence. Based on the Company’s geological studies and surveys, including the commission of a National Instrument 43-101 Report on the Red Bank Project performed in due diligence, the following reports have been yielded with regard to the option that the Company has for Red Bank.

The Company is in the process of testing for commercially viable reserves of precious metals and rare earth element (REE) production at its Red Bank mine site, and for additional drilling locations to isolate gold- and REE-bearing zones at the site. Further exploration is required before the Company can make any final determinations as to whether the Red Bank mine possesses commercially exploitable mineral deposits.

On March 25, 2015, the Company submitted its application for conducting preliminary studies at Red Bank. It filed a Reclamation Plan and application for a Mining Permit with the Mariposa County Planning Department.

The source of information contained in the subsequent discussion describing the Red Bank Project is our geology report dated December 29, 2014, and prepared by Robert Campbell, M.S., California Professional Geologist, California Certified Engineering Geologist and Principal Engineering Geologist of GeoSolve, Inc.

We engaged Mr. Campbell to prepare a geological evaluation report on the Red Bank Mine property. Mr. Campbell is the professional geologist who authored the report. Mr. Campbell graduated from the University of California at Davis with a Bachelor’s of Science (B.S.) in geology in 1989 and a graduate of California State University East Bay with a Master’s of Science (M.S.) in geology in 2006. He is a member of the California Board of Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists with a Professional Geologist (P.G.) license number 6454 and Certified Engineering Geologist (C.E.G.) license number 2089, and a member of the American Institute of Professional Geologists (A.I.P.G.) member number 1564.

Table of Contents

We received the geological evaluation report on the Red Bank Mine property, entitled “National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report on Red Bank Mine – 81 Acres, Apns 003-350-0050; 003-340-0070; And 003-330-0060, Mariposa County, California, for Oro East Mining, Inc.” (the “Report”) prepared by Mr. Campbell on December 29, 2014. The Report summarizes the results of the history of the exploration of the mineral claims, the regional and local geology of the mineral claims and the mineralization and the geological formations identified as a result of the prior exploration. The Report also gives conclusions regarding potential mineralization of the mineral claims and recommends a further geological exploration program on the mineral claims. The Report does not make any recommendation regarding any work program or the anticipated costs of any exploration activities. The description of the Red Bank Mine property provided below is based on the Report.

Summary

The purpose of the Report was to evaluate the Red Bank Mine for precious metals and rare earth element (REE) production and for propose additional drilling locations to isolate gold- and REE-bearing zones at the site. The Red Bank Mine property consists of patented claims comprised of the Stevenson, Jubilee and Daisy Quartz mines, which comprises approximately 81 acres. The property is situated approximately 17 miles north of the town of Mariposa, California and is bounded by Lake McClure and Highway 49 on a steep dipping slope from below Highway 49 to the shores of Lake McClure.

Based on the laboratory analytical results obtained from the 14 mineral samples collected at the Red Bank mine property, which were analyzed by ALS Minerals, mineable ore was determined to be present along the strike of two quartz veins and the talc-carbonate schist matrix bounded by the quartz veins. Up to 0.056 ounce of gold per troy ton of ore and 0.059 ounce of silver per troy ton of ore were determined to be present at the Red Bank mine property. Additionally, moderate to high concentrations of REEs were detected within the mineral samples collected from the talc-carbonate schist matrix within the lower tunnel mine adit.

At this time the Company has not yet acquired the Red Bank Project and there is a risk that the Company might not acquire it as its asset. The Company is at present in its due diligence phase, conducting studies on Red Bank to determine whether it is a viable asset for it to exercise its option on.

Introduction

GeoSolve, Inc. relied on information provided by the Company. The Report is based on the following sources of information: 1) discussions with Oro East Mariposa, LLC; 2) visual inspection of the Red Bank mine project area; 3) information obtained from public domain resources; and 4) regional geology published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and Jason Jordon, a geologist.

Mr. Campbell visited the Red Bank mine property on October 15, 2014. During the site visit, the Stevenson Crosscut (lower tunnel mine audit), quartz vein open-pit mine and serpentinized ultra-mafic knob areas were observed and mineral samples were collected from all three areas for assaying and laboratory analyses to evaluate the areas for future mining reserves. A review of previous work was summarized within the Red Bank mine area and areas for future exploration were proposed.

Reliance on Other Experts

The information, opinions, and conclusions contained in the Report are based on the following:

·	Information available to GeoSolve, Inc. at the time of the Report preparation;
·	Assumptions, conditions, and qualifications established in the Report;

·	Laboratory analytical data from ALS Minerals and UC Davis; and
·	Geologic data, published reports, and other information supplied by Oro East Mariposa, LLC and third party sources.

Mr. Robert D. Campbell, M.S., P.G., C.E.G., Principal Engineering Geologist of GeoSolve, Inc. did, however, rely on a former NI 43-101 Technical Report prepared by Mr. Bartlett J. Hanford, licensed mining engineer, for portions of this report, especially the historical aspects of Red Bank mine. All other information was obtained by Mr. Robert D. Campbell.

Property Description and Location

The Red Bank Mine property consists of patented claims comprised of the Stevenson, Jubilee and Daisy Quartz mines, which comprises approximately 81 acres. The property is situated approximately 17 miles north of the town of Mariposa, California and is bounded by Lake McClure and Highway 49 on a steep dipping slope from below Highway 49 to the shores of Lake McClure. The Red Bank mine lies in the northern part of Mariposa County in the area between Coulterville District to the north and Bagby District to the south. The Coulterville District is in the southwestern Tuolumne County and northwestern Mariposa County.

Geosolve, Inc. reviewed and relied on the ownership information provided by Oro East Mariposa, LLC, which to GeoSolve, Inc.’s knowledge is correct. GeoSolve, Inc. obtained a copy of the quick claim deed transfers, where the subject property was transferred to Oro East Mariposa, LLC from Mr. Timothy Chen. GeoSolve, Inc. has relied on Mr. Timothy Chen’s documents to establish mineral title of the subject property. Oro East Mariposa, LLC is unaware of any environmental liabilities associated with the subject property. During the site visit conducted on October 15, 2014, GeoSolve, Inc. did not notice any existing obvious environmental liabilities associated with the Red Bank mine property. However, limiting drainage from existing the mine adits and open pit areas during investigation and future ore production activities would significantly reduce any future environmental acid-mine drainage, if any, originating from the Red Bank mine property to Lake McClure.

Mining and Reclamation plans were submitted to the Mariposa Planning Department for review, which will also include the United States Bureau of Land Management for California (http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/prog/minerals.html). A California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) storm water pollution prevention permit will be required for industrial activities prior to commencement of mining at the Red Bank mine to insure sedimentation is not being eroded into Lake McClure. California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal OSHA) is the agency responsible for tunnel and mine safety, as well as testing for mine atmosphere. A blasting permit (Federal Explosive Permit) can be obtained through the Federal Department of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). Access to the Red Bank mine property is from Highway 49, approximately 17 miles north of the town of Mariposa on the left side of the road (west side) via a minor and un-improved dirt road. Four-wheel drive vehicles are strongly recommended while entering the Red Bank Mine property. Due to the steep slopes and steep inclinations encountered on the dirt access road from Highway 49 to the Red Bank mine, slow speed is also strongly recommended due to safety concerns. Improving the access road conditions would greatly increase production and safety at the Red Bank mine property.

Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources, Infrastructure and Physiography

As discussed in Section 4.0, access to the Red Bank mine property is attainable via Highway 49 approximately 17 miles north of the town of Mariposa, California and/or 10 miles south of Coulterville, California, and is entered from a dirt and un-improved road on the western side of Highway 49, which significantly decreases by approximately 350 feet in elevation. The entrance is on a slight blind-curve on Highway 49 and care should be taken while entering the Red Bank mine property. Access to the Red Bank mine property is highly not recommended during and immediately after a significant precipitation event due to the clayey nature and un-safe driving conditions at the Red Bank mine property.

Mariposa, California climate is mild during summer when temperatures tend to be in the 60's and very cold during winter when temperatures tend to be in the 30's. The warmest month of the year is July with an average maximum temperature of 77.60 degrees Fahrenheit (F), which can reach over 110 degrees F. The coldest month of the year is December with an average minimum temperature of 25.30 degrees Fahrenheit.

Temperature variations between night and day tend to be moderate during summer with a difference that can reach 29 degrees Fahrenheit, and moderate during winter with an average difference of 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

The annual average precipitation at Mariposa is 30.18 inches. Winter months tend to be wetter than summer months. The wettest month of the year is January with an average rainfall of 6.20 inches (http://www.idcide.com/weather/ca/mariposa.htm). Ideal mining operating seasons would be from late spring (May) to late fall (October), when rainfall is least.

Due to the limited horizontal (flat) topography at the Red Bank mine property, ore is recommended to be consolidated and removed to another area for processing. This will also reduce potential environmental liabilities associated with leaks and spills associated with producing mineral concentrates on the property.

Regional Mining History

Gold quartz veins in the Motherlode have a long history in California. The Mother Lode Belt (MLB) produced an excess of 40 million oz. of gold through 1964 and recent mining activities in the 1990s and 2000s has produced an estimated 10 to 20 million additional oz. of gold. The Red Bank mine property is situated on the southern end of the MLB.

The history in the Coulterville District initiated with the surface portions of the veins and in the streams as placer mining. Coulterville was named for George Coulter, who opened a store at this location in 1849. Quartz mining initiated in approximately 1852 with the discovery of the McAlpine and Mary Harrison veins. Considerable ore mining was conducted from the 1860s until the 1890s, when many of the claims were owned by the Cook estate. Minor mining activity continued from the early 1900s until 1942. In recent years, minor mining was performed on the Virginia, McAlpine and Red Bank mine (Chen, personal communication).

In the Bagby District, streams were placer mined in the beginning of the gold rush and the Pine Tree and Josephine veins were discovered in 1849, which a portion of the claims were on the Las Mariposa Spanish Land grant of General John C. Fremont. Bagby was originally known as Benton Mills, named by Fremont for Senator Thomas Hart Benton, his father-in-law. Benton Mills was re-named in the 1890s for A. Bagby, a hotel owner along the stop to Yosemite Valley Railroad, which traversed up the Merced River canyon to Yosemite National Park.

Gold mining activity continued until 1875 and again in the early 1900s in the Bagby District. The Pine Tree-Josephine mine operated on a significant scale from 1933 to 1944 and, as stated above, the Red Bank mine was active in recent years. A portion of the mining district, including the town of Bagby, was inundated by Lake McClure in 1967 (Hanford, 2014).

Notable mine production records in the Coulterville District prior to 1964 indicated values from $100,000 on the Louisa claim to $1.5 million on the Mary Harrison claim based on $35 per oz. value. Notable mine production records in the Bagby District prior to 1964 indicated values from $50,000 on the Mexican and Oso claims up to $4 million on the Pine Tree-Josephine claims. A $100,000 specimen was obtained from the Red Bank mine.

Geologically, the gold deposit characteristics observed in the Pine Tree-Josephine mines are very similar to the Red Bank mine deposits (Hanford, 2014). Approximately 118,000 oz. of gold were recovered from the Pine Tree-Josephine mine. The gold-producing mineralized zone is comprised of gray to black schist cross-just and juxtaposed by a stockwork of quartz veins and a zone of carbonate-mariposite-talc-pyrite alteration, which defines the pre-historic New Melones Fault shears.

Red Bank Mine History

The Red Bank mine was originally owned by Mr. Percy D Pettigrew of Palo Alto, California and Horace Meyer of Cathey, California, which were comprised of the Daisy, Jubilee and Syndicate Lode placer Claims totaling approximately 165 acres. The Red Bank mine was most likely discovered in the 1860s and consisted mostly of placer mining (Hanford, 2014).

Initial hard-rock mining was undertaken from 1894 to 1897 by the Red Bank Mining Company, under Mr. Isaac Solinger and two tunnel adits to approximately 400 horizontal feet were constructed; however, the Mother lode vein was never encountered. In 1897, the mine owners were listed as Mr. Heney Bratnoble and Mr. A. Wartenweiler attempted to sell the Red Bank mine to Hamilton Smith and Associates for $100,000; however, the deal was not brokered and the property was sold to London Exploration Company. The Daisy Tunnel was extended by the London Exploration Company to approximately 500 feet, which stuck the Mother Lode vein approximately 1,000 feet below the outcrop. The producing vein was determined to be approximately 30 feet in width with ore assaying at approximately $16.00 per ton at a historical $16.00 per oz. gold value (Hanford, 2014). The Red Bank mine closed down in 1898 with little production realized. Minor mining was performed from 1910 to 1918 and approximately ten tons of ore were milled, producing 28 oz. of gold and 40 oz. of silver (Hanford, 2014). Historically, a 5-ton stamp mill and later a 125 ton stamp mill were previously on the property and operated from 1918 through 1935. During 1939 and 1940, a total of 12,786 tons of ore was milled, which yielded approximately 1,551 oz. of gold and 6,896 oz. of silver. The total production of the mine was in excess of $100,000 and contained an abnormally high concentration of silver for a Motherlode mine (Hanford, 2014).

In 1954, Mr. Jack Wildt continued mining on the eastern portion of the Red Bank mine by constructing a shaft to approximately 60 feet below ground surface (bgs). Mr. Wildt produced enough gold and silver to sustain a living for over 41 years from the Red Bank mine Wildt shaft. Drifts were installed to the north and south of the shaft at 40 feet and 60 feet bgs. Milling was relegated to talc-schist material rather than the quartz rich-gold ore due to lack of larger milling equipment, and amalgamation using mercury. As the price of gold dropped to $370 per oz. in 1995, mining activities at Red Bank mine ceased (Hanford, 2014).

Approximately 5,000 oz. of gold were recovered from the Red Bank mine by 1964 (Discovery Consultants, 1987).

Regional Geology

The Mother Lode region of California is a complex geological system of quartz veins and mineralized rock approximately 195 km long and approximately 1.5 km in width, with localized along east dipping ancient fault traces with geologic offsets of over 10 km. The quartz ore deposits are not continuous, but discontinuous lenticular masses up to 20 m in thickness. Ore bodies appear to be associated with the thickest portions of the quartz veins and are localized where veins intersect or branch outward. Ore zones typically have short strike lengths, but can be continuous in the down dip-direction for thousands of m, which dip easterly along the ancient transform fault shear zones.

Table of Contents

Typically, zones of mineralization are porphyritic and consist of massive white quartz, opaque with coarse crystalline structure, and often contains inclusions of host country rock. Alteration is common and pervasive with ankerite dominating (Bohlke, 1989). Most gold lies within the contact between the quartz veins and footwall metamorphics, often finely disseminated in rocks around the quartz veins within the southern portion of the MLB (Bohlke, 1989).

The Sierra Nevada Mountains are the backbone of California’s topography and extend from the Cascade province to the north, the Transverse Range province to the south, the Basin and Range and Mojave provinces to the east and southeast and Great Valley to the west. The Garlock Fault is the Southern Boundary between the Mojave and Transverse Ranges provinces. The Sierra Nevada Mountains are 400 miles long and 40 to 100 miles wide and the western edge of the Sierra Nevada batholith along the ancient plate-boundary transform fault created the MLB.

The subjacent rocks are mainly igneous and metamorphic units (meta-sedimentary and meta-igneous) of diverse composition and age. Approximately 60% of the rocks are siliceous granites. The Sierra Nevada Batholith is a composite of over 100 distinct plutons from the Nevadan Orogeny (Late Jurassic to Late Cretaceous – 160 million years ago [ma] to 66 ma). The Nevadan Orogeny produced the Nevada Mountains, site of the present Sierra Nevada Mountains. The modern Sierra Nevada represents the highly eroded Nevada Mountains, which were significantly uplifted by faulting.

Ordovician meta-sediments (500 ma to 439 ma) were thought to be the oldest rocks in the Sierra (near Lake Crowley) found in the Mount Morrison roof pendant. However, the oldest rocks are Lower Cambrian archaeocyathids (540 ma) in the Big Pine pendant, about 60 km south of Crowley Lake. These roof pendants are found in the eastern Inyo-White Mountains. The Shoo Fly complex (Silurian – 439 ma – 409 ma) is overlain by Paleozoic island arc sequences) in the northern Sierra is truncated by late Devonian volcanic rocks of the Sierra Buttes Formation (409 ma to 354 ma). More volcanic rocks in the northern Sierra than in the central or eastern Sierra.

Two main orogenic events caused unconformities within the rock units, the Antler Orogeny (Devonian) and the Sonoma Orogeny (Permian). The early Jurassic sediments were the youngest rocks involved with the Nevada Orogeny. Pre-Cenozoic sedimentation on the site of today’s Sierra formerly was attributed to the presence of a Cordilleran geosyncline during much of the Paleozoic and most of the Mesozoic. The shallow trough was presumed to have extended from the Gulf of Mexico to the Arctic. The continental margin of North America in the Sierra-Klamath area is thought to have grown ocean ward by the tectonic accretion during the Phanerozoic (540 ma to 354 ma). A graphic showing the formation of Sierra Nevada Mountains is presented below.

The earliest plutons within the Sierra were small, mafic and often coarse-textured hornblende phenocrysts in a plagioclase matrix – dioritic to gabbroic. Remnants of these intrusives became inclusions in later granitic rocks. The batholith is composed of granitic rocks ranging from granite, quartz-monzonite, granodiorite and quartz diorite. These rocks were intruded into pre-Jurassic roof rocks as a series of over-lapping plutons from 88 ma to 206 ma. The Nevada Orogeny took place between 150 million years in bursts of plutonic activity with intervening periods of quiescence.

Table of Contents

Studies in the northern Sierra reinforce the position that granitic magmas were crustally derived, while the older gabbroic and dioritic plutons were probably mantle sources. Faults controlled the placement of the different mountain building event.

The New Melones fault is an east-dipping thrust fault along which older rocks thrust westward over the Calaveras Complex. The New Melones fault is traced from the northernmost Sierra southward to the Merced River near Mariposa and bisects the subject Red Bank mine property.

Overlying the Sierran basement are late Mesozoic and Cenozoic sediments and volcanics deposited after the long erosional interval that followed the Nevadan Orogeny. Although the region generally had low relief during this period, local relief may have reached up to 3,300 feet. The Cenozoic volcanic flows and vocaniclastics were deposited discontinuously. Non marine basins received continental, lacustrine and fluvial deposits and marine sediments overlapped the western margin of the former Nevadan Mountain. These rocks comprise the superjacent series (Unruh, 1991).

The Nevadan Orogeny may have been caused by the arrival of a complex island arc at the New Melones thrust boundary. The Shoo Fly Complex contains old ocean crust and some geologists are convinced that the Shoo Fly complex is a pre-Devonian subduction complex, which incorporated large amounts of sediment from land-derived deep sea fans as well as portions from the continental slope and rise rocks. These rocks were stacked upon one another during subduction and are now overlain by the Late Devonian Grizzly Formation. The Grizzly Formation is the base of a series of Paleozoic island arc deposits that accumulated during the late Devonian to early Mississippian Antler Orogeny. The late Paleozoic Calaveras Complex appears to have jointed the continent during the early Triassic Sonoma Orogeny when it was thrust beneath the Shoo Fly, which indicates a dominantly depositional environment for much of the central and southern Sierra throughout the Paleozoic. This combination of continental shelf accumulation and terrain accretion was profoundly altered, folded, faulted by the Nevadan Orogeny in the early Jurassic. Based on the accumulation of sediments within the Sacramento Valley (25,000 feet or 5.75 miles), paleo-pollen grain studies showed aridity east of the mountains (much like today), which indicates very high mountains up to 10,000 feet and more geographically extensive than the Sierra’s.

The New Melones fault is a zone of en-echelon dip-slip faults, which have off-set up to 5,000 feet in the northern Sierra and up to 11,000 feet in the southern Sierra. Movement began in the middle Miocene and accelerated in the Pleistocene, as evidenced by the glacial till, volcanic and fault scarp deposits/surfaces.

Approximately 107 million oz. (6.6 million pounds or 3,300 tons) of gold have been extracted from the Mother Lode, primarily before 1900. The gold is found mainly in the Jurassic Mariposa slate of the Foothill Metamorphic belt.

The gold found in the Mother Lode rocks was mobilized by connate water released during metamorphism of the original marine sedimentary rocks and circulating in deep hydrothermal systems. The emplacement of plutons provided heat to drive the hot water systems. The water dissolved gold and sulfides and acquired carbon dioxide from the cooling granite magmas. The pregnant solution precipitated gold and quartz in veins and altered other rocks to form the low-grade disseminated gold deposits (Unruh, 1991) and (Wernicke, 1996).

The Red Bank mine deposits are porphyritic in nature and are large geochemical anomalies of iron and sulfur with economically important enrichments of copper and gold. Porphyry deposits consist of veins and disseminations with variable proportions of chalcopyrite, bornite, molybdentie, pyrite, and magnetite, and are formed from magmatic-hydrothermal fluids exsolved from relatively oxidized, sulfur rich, calc-alkaline to mildly alkaline arc-related magmas (Richards, 2013). Deposition of gold, silver and other metals in a porphyry environment are shown below from Richards (2013); however, the volcanic pipe is preplaced by the New Melones Fault zone.

Table of Contents

Porphyry deposits occur most commonly in Cenozoic and Mesozoic rocks, are less abundant in the Paleozoic, and are very rare in the Precambrian. One explanation for this temporal distribution is that arc-related porphyry deposits form in environments of active uplift and erosion, commonly followed by collision, and as such they are highly susceptible to loss through erosion (Richards, 2013). In addition, most porphyry deposits are formed at shallow levels (~1–5 km depth) above deeper batholiths (~5–10 km), and thus in cooler country rocks. High ambient temperatures in the host rocks would facilitate the formation of extensive zones of high-temperature alteration, from which a significant flux of crustally-derived lithophile elements such as iron, potassium, calcium, uranium, and rare earth elements (REEs). A regional geologic map of the Red Bank mine property and surrounding region is shown on Figure 3, Regional Geologic Map.

Red Bank Mine Geology and Mineralization

The local geology at the Red Bank mine property is consistent with metamorphism and metasomatism associated with porphyry induced epithermal deposition in the Miocene along the New Melones fault zone. The epithermal depositions were derived from the mobilization, alteration, and emplacement of silica-rich Cretaceous marine sediment rocks from plutonic derived heated fluids generated at depth into carbonate-rich rocks and the silica-mobilized fluid was deposited along with gold and silver within the quartz and ankerite (mariposite) veins, which trended along strike of the New Melones fault shear zones. Due to the emplacement of the Sierra Nevada plutons and the New Melones transform fault metamorphosed the bedrock at Red Bank Mine and along strike of the New Melones Fault zone. These metamorphic rocks include phyllite, slate, and meta-volcanic rocks. A belt of serpentine extends along strike of the New Melones Fault zone, especially along the northern portion of the Red Bank Mine property. Hydrated talc and highly serpentinitized zones are also juxtaposed within the fault zone, and exhibit relatively low gold and silver concentrations.

Two main quartz-mariposite veins traverse the Red Bank mine property with strikes ranging from N10W to N40W and dipping northeast up to 60 degrees from horizontal. Mariposite and ankerite deposits (silica-carbonate rocks) are the main vein rock types. Ore minerals are pryrite, argentiferous galena and native gold with minor accessories of tetrahedrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite. The quartz veins are approximately 30 feet in width with an unknown depth, which truncate on the northern portion of the property into a knob of highly ultra-mafic serpentinite. Gold occurs in several northwest trending quartz veins and stringers with brecciated slate, schist and associated bodies of pyrite, ankerite, and arsenopyrite (Discovery Consultants, 1987).

Sample Collection and Analyses

The main mineral deposits investigated at the Red Bank mine property included quartz veins, quartz-mariposite veins, ankerite-mariposite deposits and serpentinite knob deposits. Although GeoSolve, Inc. assumed the highest gold concentrations should be within the quartz veins, mineral samples were collected from the ankerite-mariposite and serpentinte deposits for mining production evaluation purposes. Due to poor air quality, no samples were collected from the Wildt shaft. Mr. Campbell was able to enter the mine shaft until poor air quality at one of the horizontal mine adits prevented further exploration. Mineral samples were collected from the initial 45 feet into the lower tunnel adit due to the instability within the mine tunnel. Although a few rotted wood timbers were observed along the mine adit floor, no wood supports or framing was observed within the lower tunnel mine adit. Furthermore, the mine adit was partially collapsed at approximately 50 feet into the tunnel due to groundwater saturation of the mine footwall and hanging walls.

The quartz veins were extremely hard and not easily broken with hammers or using mechanical drilling methods. Similarly, the ankerite and mariposite exposed within the lower tunnel adit are very hard, but easily loosed due to extensive cleavage along strike of the New Melones Fault shear zone. No free gold was observed within hand samples collected for analyses; however, extensive mineralization was observed within the ankerite and mariposite samples. Gold ore material was also observed within the quartz vein samples. The following photograph depicts the open pit quartz vein.

All fourteen mineral samples were submitted to ALS Minerals in Reno, Nevada under a chain-of-custody form for fine rock crushing and pulverizing to 85% less than 75 microns. The crushed and pulverized mineral samples were then analyzed for 34 elements using ICP-MS, base metals, gold (au), platinum (pt) and palladium (pd) by ICP-AES, total carbon and total sulfur by LECO and lithium borate fusion by ICP-MS. The ALS Minerals laboratory analytical report is attached to Appendix A, ALS Minerals Laboratory Report and the precious metals and REEs concentrations are shown on Table 2, Laboratory Analytical Results of Mineral Samples – Precious Metals, Table 3, Laboratory Analytical Results of Mineral Samples – Rare Earth Elements, and Table 4, Analytical Results of Averaged Concentrations for Mineral Oxides and Non-Metal Elements in Mineral Samples.

Four split mineral samples, OP-2, OP-4, LT-4 and LT-6 were submitted for electron microprobe analyses under chain-of-custody documentation to University of California at Davis department of Earth and Planetary Sciences (UC Davis). The purpose of the electron microprobe analyses was to evaluate the geochemistry of gold and silver mineralization on the ore body at the Red Bank mine property.

Summary of Laboratory Analytical Results

The laboratory analytical results of the mineral samples OP-1 through OP-4, LT-1 through LT-6 and LT-6D and S-1 through S-3 indicated moderate to high gold and silver concentrations within mineral samples collected from the open mine pit within the quartz vein (OP-1 through OP-4). Low to moderate gold concentrations were detected in samples collected from the lower tunnel mine adit (LT-1 through LT-6 and LT-6D; however, moderate to very high concentrations of REEs were detected in mineral samples from the lower tunnel mine adit, which was within the ankerite-mariposite mineralization zone. No significant gold, silver or REE’s were detected in samples S-1 through S-3 collected from the ultra-mafic serpentinite knob outcrop. Moderate to high copper concentrations were detected in mineral samples OP-1 through OP-4 and LT-1 through LT-6 and LT-6D. Platinum concentrations were very low in all mineral samples analyzed. Low concentrations of palladium were also detected in all mineral samples analyzed. These results are summarized on Tables 2 and 3.

Moderate to high averaged silica concentrations were detected in all mineral samples analyzed. Low to moderate averaged aluminum oxides, iron oxides and magnesium oxides were detected in all mineral samples analyzed and very low averaged concentrations of carbon and sulfur were detected in mineral samples analyzed. Low averaged concentrations of calcium oxides, potassium oxides, and phosphorus oxides were also detected in all mineral samples analyzed. These results are summarized on Table 4.

UC Davis Microprobe Analyses

Four samples from Red Bank Mine were examined in an electron microprobe, which allows scanning of a planar surface for particular elements and visually image how elements exist in the mineralization phase. This qualitative view of the elements’ abundances and distribution is combined with our knowledge of mineralogy to make a determination of what mineral phases are present. The samples analyzed were OP-2, OP-4, LT-4 and LT-6. Gold was detected in samples LT-6 and OP-2. The other two samples did not have detectable gold at the surface of the cut.

The surfaces were selected by targeting the contact region between quartz and carbonate veins and adjacent sulfides or clays. After primary cuts were made the cut surfaces were epoxied to a glass slide and the adjacent material was trimmed with a rock saw down to approximately 100 microns (µm) thick, then polished with fine diamond or aluminum-oxide grit. The polished surface was coated with approximately 200 angstroms of vaporized carbon to make the surface conductive. Back-scattered electron (BSE) imaging is the primary tool to identify gold (Au) and other elements of interest. The brightness in an image is due to increased amounts of back-scattered electrons, which is directly related to the total mass of the material. Thus Au and other precious elements, which are very dense relative to the surrounding silicates and carbonates, will be very bright in BSE images. Once Au or other phases of interest are identified by BSE, one can determine what elements are present by using EDS (energy dispersive spectrometry) and WDS (wave-length dispersive spectrometry). The EDS scans show the elements present in a volume approximately 1 µm-wide by approximately 6 to 10 µm deep in volume of the total grain. This method may pick up elements from surrounding minerals when the gold is very fine (less than 5 µm), which is the case in these samples. Thus some of the EDS plots have elements which are not likely to be part of the Au-bearing compound but are from the surrounding matrix mineral(s).

Discussion of Mineral Resource Estimates

The yellow high-lighted areas in Tables 2 and 3 indicate sample locations and mineral concentrations recommended for additional mineral exploration for gold, silver, and REEs.

The gold concentration average for samples OP-1 through OP-4 and LT-1 through LT-6 and LT-6D was calculated at 0.739 ppm and the 95% upper confidence level (UCL) using the EPA computer program ProUCL version 4.02 was calculated at 1.617 ppm. UCL is a statistical method of numerically evaluating and comparing sets of numbers, such as chemical concentrations to a mathematical mean and 95% confidence level of statistical accuracy. The average ounce (oz) per troy ton (tt) of gold within mineral samples OP-1 through OP-4 and LT-1 through LT-6 and LT-6D was calculated at 0.0237 oz/tt and the 95% UCL using the EPA computer program ProUCL version 4.02 was calculated at 0.052 oz/tt.

The silver concentration average for samples OP-1 through OP-4 and LT-1 through LT-6 and LT-6D was calculated at 0.925 ppm and the 95% UCL using the EPA computer program ProUCL version 4.02 was calculated at 1.56 ppm. The average troy ounce per ton of silver within mineral samples OP-1 through OP-4 and LT-1 through LT-6 and LT-6D was calculated at 0.031 oz/tt and the 95% UCL using the EPA computer program ProUCL version 4.02 was calculated at 0.059 oz/tt.

The Pine Tree-Josephine mine immediately south of the Red Bank mine property, indicated gold was deposited within two quartz veins bounding a pyritic grey talc carbonate schist between the quartz veins (Discovery Consultants, 1987). An average gold concentration of 0.058 oz/tt was reported within this deposit, which is very similar in geology to the deposited mapped in the lower tunnel mine adit on the Red Bank mine property.

Based on the UC Davis microprobe analyses, Au occurs in different mineral associations in the two samples. Sample LT-6 has 0.5 to 5 µm gold occurring as almost pure Au with minor Ag. Au also occurs both as a phase within quartz (Figure 2) and in a chlorite-smectite clay layer within the quartz vein material (Figure 1). The Au in sample OP-2 is always associated with Fe-rich material that appears to be a mixture of goethite (FeO(OH)), actinolite or tremolite, and Fe-oxide (Figure 4). These minerals are replacing some coarser phase, which may have been pyrite (minor primary pyrite found in one grain). The Au in OP-2 contains Ag in varying abundance, from very minor to significant. Platinum and palladium were actively searched for but no evidence for either was found. Sample OP-2 does contain a few crystals of a Ni-As-Sb-S phase. The latter could be a solid-solution between Gersdorfitte (NiAsS) and Ullmannite (NiSbS). Arsenopyrite was also identified. These Ni- and As-bearing sulfides are associated with moderate-temperature hydrothermal veins. A copy of the UC Davis Report of Gold Occurrence Identified by Imaging and Qualitative Chemical Analysis is attached to Appendix A.

The carbonates include low-Mg calcite and dolomite. Gold is only found within grains of dominantly goethite, which may have been replacing pyrite (based on morphology and minor pyrite found in one grain (Fig. 5).

The Report does not make any recommendation regarding any work program or the anticipated costs of any exploration activities.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

In July and August 2013, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) issued penalties against the Company under Section 6038 and 6038A of the Internal Revenue Code for failure to file Form 5471 and 5472. The total penalty assessment was $60,000 plus interest charges. As of December 31, 2015, total penalty assessment including interest charges was about $60,323. In response, the Company filed a Reasonable Cause Statement to appeal for full abatement of the penalty, citing reasonable cause and requesting an administrative waiver or offer-in-compromise. Subsequently, the Company retained Louie and Wong LLP, tax professionals to assist in handling the matter with the IRS. The IRS has declined the abatement, and we are setting up an installment plan with the IRS for the payment of the assessed penalty.

On April 20, 2015, Tons Per Hour, Inc. filed a breach of contract complaint against the Company’s subsidiary, Oro East Mariposa, LLC for approximately $25,000. The complaint was filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Placer, Case Number SCV0036008. Oro East Mariposa filed its Answer on or about June 12, 2015. The disposition date is scheduled for April 20, 2016. A mandatory settlement conference is scheduled for June 17, 2016 and the civil trial conference for June 24, 2016.

Business Overview

Through its subsidiary Golden Steps, LLC, Oro East entered into collaborations with Shenzhen Citic International Travel Co. Ltd. (“Shenzhen CITC”), a Chinese limited liability company, a business specializing in international sightseeing tours for Chinese nationals, to set up a tourist attraction along Route 49 in California, including Company held mine sites, to offer tourists a view of the history and legacy of California gold mining (“49er Historical Gold Rush Tour”). The 49er Historical Gold Rush Tour will stop at Company held mine sites as members of the Company provide historic information about the Chinese American experience during the California Gold Rush in the 1800s. At this time the projected aim is to develop certain unused areas of the sites that can be used to house tourists, build recreation centers, or cultural museums in furtherance of the 49er Historical Gold Rush Tour collaboration. As of the filing date of this report, the 49er Historical Gold Rush Tour has not been started yet.

Our plan of operation for the period through December 31, 2016 is as follows:

·	Seek additional mineral exploration opportunities in the State of California;

·	Obtain a mining permit for exploration at Red Bank and get the Reclamation Plan approved;

·	Pending the status of water levels in the State of California, continue the water flotation at the Carson Hill WMUs;

·	Continue to secure joint venturers, major investors, and buyers for gold concentrates and related precious mineral products.

·	Work closely with Shenzhen CITC to start the 49er Historical Gold Rush Tour.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had a total of $722,618 and $940,024 in assets, respectively. The Company also had $3,558,487 and $2,544,660 current liabilities as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The following is a summary of the Company's cash flows provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

	2015			2014
Net Cash Used In Operating Activities	$	(738,100	)	$	(1,548,898	)
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities		(665	)		(540,666	)

Effect of exchange rate on cash		(20	)		(2,356	)
Net Increase (Decrease) In Cash	$	(57,683	)	$	6,860

Total cash decreased by about $58,000 was mainly due to about $980,000 of cash provided by the notes issuances with about $738,000, $146,000, and $154,000 of cash used in funding the operations, repayment of notes, and repayment of shareholder advances, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Results of Operations

The following is a summary of the Company’s operation results for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

	2015			2014
Total revenues	$	-		$	16,918
Total cost of revenues		-			(14,001	)

Total operating expenses		(1,177,104	)		(2,649,459	)
Total other expense		(388,518	)		(696,218	)
Net loss	$	(1,565,622	)	$	(3,342,760	)

Net loss decreased by about $1,777,000 from 2014 to 2015 due to the decrease of about $1,472,000 and $308,000 in general and administrative and other expenses, respectively, with about $3,000 decrease in gross profit.

Decrease of about $1,472,000 in general and administrative expenses was mainly due to the increase of $774,000 in share-based compensation, $74,000 in payroll expenses, $226,000 in legal and professional fees, $198,000 in lease expense, and $200,000 in other general and administrative of Oro East Mariposa, respectively. Decrease of about $308,000 in other expenses was mainly due to the decrease in about $272,000 in interest expense and $36,000 in loss on disposal of assets, respectively. Decrease of about $272,000 in interest expense was mainly due to the decrease in about $385,000 of debt discount amortization despite of $113,000 increase in interest for notes.

Critical Accounting Policies

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, “emerging growth companies” can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. We have elected not to avail ourselves to this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.”

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue

Revenue from gold concentrate sales is recognized when the title and risk of loss pass to the buyer and when collectability is reasonably assured. The title and risk of loss is passed to the buyer based on the terms of the sales contract entered into with the buyer when the gold concentrates are shipped at the loading port.

Revenue is recorded and buyer is invoiced based on a provisional sales price as determined in accordance with the terms as specified in the sales contract at the time of shipment. Upon final settlement with the buyer (generally one to two months from the shipment date), the provisional sales price is adjusted based on the contract terms. Between shipment and final settlement, changes in gold futures settlement price on the Commodity Exchange Inc. (“COMEX”) result in adjustment to the revenue. The gold concentrate sales contain an embedded derivative that is required to be bifurcated from the host contract, which is the sale of the metal gold contained in the concentrates at the COMEX gold future settlement prices as specified in the contract. The embedded derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting and is adjusted to fair value through earnings each reporting period, using the COMEX gold future settlement prices at period-end, until final settlement.

Share-based Compensation

The Company recognizes the services received in a share-based payment transaction as the services are received. The services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

Concentrations

Major Customers

During 2014, all of the Company’s revenues were from one customer.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company’s cash are held at various recognized financial institutions, and we do not believe significant concentration of credit risk exists.

Table of Contents

Foreign Currency Translation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with ASC 830, foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $9,556,698 and a negative working capital of $3,361,490 at December 31, 2015. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profit from operations and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from the normal business operations when they come due. Management’s plan includes obtaining additional funds by equity and debt financing and/or related party advances, but there is no assurance of additional funding being available. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise as a result of this uncertainty.

Contractual Obligations

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Oro East Mining, Inc.

Oakland, California

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oro East Mining, Inc. and its subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America).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 audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oro East Mining, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the results of their operations, and their cash flows for the years then ended 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, the Company has recurring losses and has not generated revenues from its planned principal operations. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ORO EAST MINING, INC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Organization and Business

Oro East Mining, Inc. (“we”, “our”, or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on February 15, 2008 for the purpose of raising capital that is intended to be used in connection with its business plan which may include a possible merger, acquisition or other business combination with an operating business.

The Company’s primary business focus at present is the development of its three substantial piles of crushed gold ores (“WMUs”) at an aggregate mine in Carson Hill, California (the “Carson Hill Project”) owned and managed by the Company’s privately held subsidiary, Oro East Mariposa, LLC (“Oro East Mariposa”), a California limited liability company. Additionally, the Company continued its inquiry into various possible asset acquisitions to expand its mining production operations. Due diligence for various assets and preliminary negotiations commenced to seek further asset acquisitions for the Company.

(b) Emerging Growth Company

parachute payments not previously approved.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

(d) Stock Split

A twenty-for-one forward stock split was effected on June 12, 2014. All share and per share information has been adjusted retroactively to reflect the stock split.

(e) Use of Estimates

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash consists of deposits with banks or other financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

(g) Inventories

Inventories consist of chemical reagents carried at cost not to exceed their net realizable value. Cost related to chemical reagents includes applicable taxes and freights and is determined by the weighted moving average method determined on a first-in, first-out, basis.

Table of Contents

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(h) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at the cost of acquisition or construction and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs associated with repair and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency of our property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the related asset. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 5 to 7 years.

(i) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the asset is used, and the effect of obsolescence, demand, competition, and economic factors. Based on this assessment, the Company has not identified such impairment losses as of December 3,1 2015 and 2014.

(j) Revenue Recognition

(k) Share-based Compensation

The Company recognizes the services received in a share-based payment transaction as the services are received. The services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued. See Note 2.

(l) Income Taxes

Income taxes are recognized for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not to be realized.

(m) Foreign Currency Translation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. Foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations, and translation adjustments are recorded to Other Comprehensive Income.

(n) Earnings (Loss) per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period.

NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(o) Concentrations

Major Customers

During 2014, all of the Company’s revenues were from one customer.

Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and trade receivables. The Company’s cash are held at various recognized financial institutions, and we do not believe significant concentration of credit risk exists. The Company performed credit evaluation of its customer’s financial condition, and the receivables were secured by the letter of credit issued per contract terms. Therefore, we do not believe a significant risk of loss exists from a concentration of credit.

(p) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

We do not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

(q) Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current period presentation.

(r) Going Concern

The notes were extended from their previous maturity dates with the conversion price changed to the market price on the dates they were extended. Except for the $720,000, $30,000 and $40,000 notes, which maturities are in July and August 2016 (see Note 10), all other notes were extended in 2015. The Company analyzed the terms modification of the convertible notes under ASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructurings, and ASC 470-50, Extinguishment of Debt, and determined that the creditors had not granted a concession and the modifications were substantial, which qualified for Extinguishment accounting. The Company amortized the remaining discount on the convertible notes to interest expense on the dates of the conversion. There were no direct costs or fees associated with the terms modification of the convertible notes. The Company also analyzed the modified conversion option under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and determined that the instrument does not qualify for derivative accounting and that the instrument does not have a beneficial conversion feature.

NOTE 8 INCOME TAXES

During 2015 and 2014, the Company incurred a net operating loss and therefore has no tax liability. As of December 31, 2015, our federal net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes were approximately $7.5 million. If not utilized, the federal net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2028. The effective tax rate was about 34% for 2015 and 2014. The net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to various annual limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Tax returns for the years ended after December 31, 2011 are subject to examinations by federal and state tax authorities.

The net deferred tax asset generated by the operating loss carry-forward has been fully reserved as we believe it is more likely than not that those assets will not be realized.

At December 31, 2015 and 2014, deferred tax asset consisted approximately of $2,500,000 and $2,000,000, respectively, with full valuation allowance for both years.

The total penalty assessment was $60,000 plus interest charges. As of December 31, 2015, total penalty assessment including interest charges was about $60,323.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

As of this reporting, there are none.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the our management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of December 31, 2015 due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in 2013Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management identified a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting as described below.

We had limited segregation of duties for recording and reviewing accounting transactions.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted on September 21, 2010 that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the material weakness as identified above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Management’s Plans to remediate the Material Weakness

The Company will engage an outside independent certified public accounting firm or certified public accountant with competent experiences in US GAAP and SEC reporting to improve our management review control and financial reporting and to mitigate the control deficiencies due to limited segregation of duties.

The following table lists, as of December 31, 2015, the number of shares of common stock of the Company that are beneficially owned by (i) each person or entity known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (ii) each officer and director of the Company; and (iii) all officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by our principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.

The percentages below are calculated based on 581,883,700 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this annual report. We do not have any outstanding warrant, options or other securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of our common stock.

ITEM 13. RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

There are family relationships between one of our officers and directors. Each director is elected at our annual meeting of stockholders and holds office until the next annual meeting of stockholders, or until his successor is elected and qualified.

In June 2015, the Company’s CEO entered into an auto lease on behalf of the Company requiring 36 monthly payments of approximately $1,250.

Director Independence

Our board of directors is currently composed of two members, and both do not qualify as an independent director under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and section 10A(m)(3) of the Exchange Act.

Conflicts of Interest

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our director. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is an early exploration stage company and has only two directors, and to date, such director has been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our director and officer has the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.

Other than as described above, we are not aware of any other conflicts of interest of our executive officer and director.

The Board Of Directors Pre-Approval Policies

We do not have a separate audit committee. Our board of directors performs the functions of an audit committee. Before an independent auditor is engaged by us to render audit or non-audit services, our board of directors pre-approves the engagement. Board of directors pre-approval of audit and non-audit services will not be required if the engagement for the services is entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by our board of directors regarding our engagement of the independent auditor, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, our board of directors is informed of each service provided, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of our board of directors' responsibilities under the Exchange Act to our management. Our board of directors may delegate to one or more designated members of our board of directors the authority to grant pre-approvals, provided such approvals are presented to the board of directors at a subsequent meeting. If our board of directors elects to establish pre-approval policies and procedures regarding non-audit services, the board of directors must be informed of each non-audit service provided by the independent auditor. Board of directors pre-approval of non-audit services, other than review and attest services, also will not be required if such services fall within available exceptions established by the SEC. For the year ended December 31, 2015, 100% of audit-related services performed by our independent auditors were pre-approved by our board of directors.

Our board has considered whether the services described above under the caption "All Other Fees", which are currently none, is compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence.

The board approved all fees described above.
