ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
Our financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
In this annual report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars. All references to “common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this annual report, the terms “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, and “Urex” mean Urex Energy Corp., unless otherwise indicated.
Corporate History
We were incorporated in Nevada on February 6, 2002 under the name of Lakefield Ventures Inc. Effective June 2, 2006, we increased our authorized common stock from 50,000,000 shares, par value $0.001, to 150,000,000 shares, par value $0.001, and we effected a 11.4 for one (1) forward stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. Effective July 3, 2006, we changed our name from “Lakefield Ventures Inc.” to “Urex Energy Corp.” as a result of a merger with Urex Energy Corp., our wholly-owned subsidiary that was incorporated solely to effect the name change. In addition, on July 3, 2006, we effected a two (2) for one (1) forward stock split of our authorized, issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, we are authorized to issue up to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001.
Our principal executive office is located at 10580 N. McCarran Blvd., Building 115-208, Reno, Nevada. The telephone number of our principal executive office is 775.747.0667.
We are also registered as a foreign company in Argentina, and our legal address in Argentina is 1052 San Martin Avenue, 3rd Floor, Office 17, Cuidad Mendoza, Province of Mendoza, Argentina.
We have one majority-owned subsidiary, United Energy Metals S.A., an Argentina company, of which we own 99.8% of the issued and outstanding capital stock.
On February 10, 2010 reports that it has completed the sale of its Argentine subsidiary, United Energy Metals SA (UEM), to Patagonia Resources Ltd.
As a part of an on-going reorganization of the Company’s business activity, the decision to diversify into the geothermal energy field is aligned with the Company’s long-term strategy to add shareholder value.
The Company held a share holders meeting on April 1, 2010 with a majority of share holders voting to approve a name change for the Company and a 200 to 1 reverse stock split. Urex Energy Corp will become Mustang Geothermal Corp upon regulatory approval.
Current Business
Since inception, we have been primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of uranium mining properties, but have not yet realized any revenues from our planned operations. Currently, we have two uranium prospects, the Rio Chubut Property located in the Chubut Province of Patagonia, Southern Argentina and the La Jara Mesa Property located in Cibola County, New Mexico.
On June 8, 2006, we completed an assignment agreement, dated September 22, 2005, entered into between our company and International Mineral Resources Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the Turks & Caicos Islands, whereby International Mineral Resources agreed to assign its right, title and interest in and to an option agreement entered into between International Mineral Resources and United Energy Metals S.A. to our company.
The option agreement allows for the holder of the option to acquire 99.8% property position of 170,000 hectares. On December 7, 2005, International Mineral Resources exercised the option to acquire 99.8% of the equity in United Energy Metals. As consideration for the assignment of the option from International Mineral Resources to our company, we were required to issue 8,000,000 shares of our company to International Mineral Resources and pay $50,000.00 to International Mineral Resources, with International Mineral Resources retaining a 5% net smelter royalty in respect of the Rio Chubut Property.
On February 10, 2010 twe completed the sale of our Argentine subsidiary, United Energy Metals SA (UEM), to Patagonia Resources Ltd. The Company signed a Letter of Intent with UrAmerica Ltd of London, U.K. for the sale of the Argentine subsidiary, United Energy Metals SA (UEM), which was reported in a news release dated December 1, 2009. The agreement provides for a US $500,000 cash payment to Urex with UrAmerica assuming a maximum liability of US $275,000 for the outstanding UEM debts. The Company will use the proceeds of the sale to pay down debt.
On March 18, 2010, the Company completed the purchase of three geothermal leases totaling 6582 acres located in the State of Nevada from Enco Explorations Inc. of Reno, Nevada. The Company issued 100,000,000 common shares to Enco Explorations Inc. valued at $0.01for an aggregate market price of $1,000,000.
As a part of an on-going reorganization of the Company’s business activity, the decision to diversify into the geothermal energy field is aligned with the Company’s long-term strategy to add shareholder value.
The Company held a share holders meeting on April 1, 2010 with a majority of share holders voting to approve a name change for the Company and a 200 to 1 reverse stock split. Urex Energy Corp will become Mustang Geothermal Corp upon regulatory approval.
Competitors
We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition of prospective oil and gas properties. We compete with other companies for both the acquisition of prospective properties and the financing necessary to develop such properties.
We conduct our business in an environment that is highly competitive and unpredictable. In seeking out prospective properties, we have encountered intense competition in all aspects of our business as we compete directly with other development stage companies as well as established international companies. Many of our competitors are national or international companies with far greater resources, capital and access to information than us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on the acquisition of prospective properties and on the exploration and development of such properties. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise in the exploration and exploitation of mineral and oil and gas properties. This competition could result in our competitors having resource properties of greater quality and attracting prospective investors to finance the development of such properties on more favorable terms. As a result of this competition, we may become involved in an acquisition with more risk or obtain financing on less favorable terms.
Governmental Regulations
Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various national, state, provincial and local laws and regulations in the United States and Argentina, as well as other jurisdictions, which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters.
We have obtained applications for those licenses, permits and other authorizations currently required to conduct our explorations in Argentina. In Argentina, business licenses for companies, and the acquisition and transfer of exploration and mining permits are all acquired subject to government approval. Such approval may involve many levels of government (i.e. Federal, Provincial, County and/or City approval), and we cannot guarantee that all such approvals will be successfully obtained even where our option has been successfully exercised. Moreover, even where business licenses are issued, there can be no guarantee that the transfer and/or acquisition of exploration and/or mining permits will be approved, nor can our company guarantee that such approvals will be obtained from all levels of government required for such approval.
We believe that we are and will continue to be in compliance in all material respects with applicable statutes and the regulations passed in Argentina. There are no current orders or directions relating to our company with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations.
Environmental Regulation
Our company's exploration projects are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations governing protection of the environment, in the United States and in Argentina. These laws are continually changing and, as a general matter, are becoming more restrictive. Our company's policy is to conduct business in a way that safeguards public health and the environment. We believe that our operations are conducted in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Changes to current local, state or federal laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate or may operate in the future could require additional capital expenditures and increased operating costs. Although we are unable to predict what additional legislation, if any, might be proposed or enacted, additional regulatory requirements could impact the economics of our projects.
In the preceding year, there were no material environmental incidents or non-compliance with any applicable environmental regulations. We estimate that we will not incur material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities during the current fiscal year.
Employees
We have no employees. Our operations are conducted by management, all of whom are consultants. We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next twelve month period. Given the early stage of our development and exploration properties, we intend to continue to outsource our professional and personnel requirements by retaining consultants on an as needed basis. However, if we are successful in our initial and any subsequent drilling programs, we may retain additional employees.
.
Going Concern Issues
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital. We are actively currently seeking additional funding through various methods, but due to current market conditions funding may not be readily available. In addition, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets at March 31, 2010and at the date of this report. One of the reasons for our current financial position is that we have suffered significant cost overruns on one of our projects. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt over our ability to continue as a going concern.
Management is currently considering other options should current efforts to secure new funding be unsuccessful. These could include the establishment of a form of liquidating trust to hold the assets of the Company for the benefit of shareholders or the sale of the Company’s assets as part of a liquidation and, after discharging obligations, distributing the remaining proceeds, if any, to shareholders. Our Board of Directors is also actively considering deregistering from the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, if in its best judgment the costs of the requirements of being a compliant public company outweigh the benefits to shareholders and if we are eligible to deregister.
Our financial results depend upon many factors, particularly the price of uranium and our ability to market our production. Commodity prices are affected by changes in market demands, which are impacted by overall economic activity, weather, pipeline capacity constraints, inventory storage levels, basis differentials and other factors. As a result, we cannot accurately predict future uranium prices, and therefore, we cannot determine what effect increases or decreases will have on our capital program, if any, production volumes and future revenues. In addition to production volumes and commodity prices, finding and developing sufficient amounts of uranium reserves at economical costs are critical to our long-term success.
Access to Company Reports
For further information pertaining to us, you may inspect without charge at the public reference facilities of the SEC at 100 F Street, NE, Room 1580, Washington, D.C. 20549 any of our filings with the SEC. Copies of all or any portion of the documents may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains a website that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information that is filed electronically with the SEC.

RISK FACTORS
Much of the information included in this annual report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements”. Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
Such estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements” involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution readers of this annual report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other “forward-looking statements”. In evaluating us, our business and any investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the following factors.
We have had negative cash flows from operations and if we are not able to continue to obtain further financing our business operations may fail.
To date we have had negative cash flows from operations and we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and debt financing to meet our cash requirements and have incurred a net loss of $404,879 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, and cumulative losses of $9,215,118 from inception to March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010 we had working capital deficit of $594,047. We do not expect to generate positive cash flow from operations in the near future. There is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. Any decision to further expand our company’s operations or our exploration properties is anticipated to involve consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including, but not limited to:
-
costs to bring each property into production, including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities;
-
availability and costs of financing;
-
ongoing costs of production;
-
market prices for the minerals to be produced;
-
environmental compliance regulations and restraints; and
-
political climate and/or governmental regulation and control.
The occurrence of any of the aforementioned events could adversely affect our ability to meet our business plans.
We depend almost exclusively on outside capital to pay for the continued exploration and development of our properties. Such outside capital may include the sale of additional stock and/or commercial borrowing. Capital may not continue to be available if necessary to meet these continuing development costs or, if the capital is available, that it will be on terms acceptable to us. The issuance of additional equity securities by us would result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
If we are unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable to us, we may be unable to continue our business and, as a result, we may be required to scale back or cease our business operations, the result of which would be that our stockholders would lose some or all of their investment.
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.
A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because our operations have been primarily financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be especially detrimental to our liquidity and our continued operations. Any reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would force us to reallocate funds from other planned uses and would have a significant negative effect on our business plans and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.
We have a history of losses and fluctuating operating results which raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
From inception through to March 31, 2010, we have incurred aggregate losses of approximately $9,215,118. Our loss from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was $404,879. There is no assurance that we will operate profitably or will generate positive cash flow in the future. In addition, our operating results in the future may be subject to significant fluctuations due to many factors not within our control, such as general economic conditions, market price of minerals and exploration and development costs. If we cannot generate positive cash flows in the future, or raise sufficient financing to continue our operations, then we may be forced to scale down or even close our operations. Until such time as we generate revenues, we expect an increase in development costs and operating costs. Consequently, we expect to incur operating losses and negative cash flow until our properties enter commercial production.
We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow our business, then we may have to scale back or even cease our ongoing business operations.
We have no history of revenues from operations and have no significant tangible assets. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our company has a limited operating history and must be considered in the development stage. The success of our company is significantly dependent on a successful acquisition, drilling, completion and production program. Our company’s operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable basis. We are in the development stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises in the development stage. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in our company.
Trading in our common shares on the OTC Bulletin Board is limited and sporadic making it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments.
Our common shares are currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. The trading price of our common shares has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common shares may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common shares will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance.
In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management's attention and resources.
Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly
speculative.
Resource exploration and development is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production. The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by our company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of our company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment and such other factors as government regulation, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection, the combination of which factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return of investment capital.
As our properties are in the exploration and development stage, there can be no assurance that we will establish commercial discoveries on our properties.
The mining and exploration business relies upon the accuracy of determinations as to whether a given deposit has significant mineral reserves and resources. This reliance is important in that reported mineral reserves and resources are only estimates and do not represent with certainty that estimated mineral reserves and resources will be recovered or that they will be recovered at the rates estimated. Mineral reserve and resource estimates are based on limited sampling, and inherently carry the uncertainty that samples may not be representative. Mineral reserve and resource estimates may require revision (either upward or downward) based on actual production experience. Market fluctuations in the price of metals, as well as increased production costs or reduced recovery rates, may render certain mineral resources uneconomic. Inaccurate estimates may result in a misallocation of resources such that an excess amount could be allocated to a less than economic deposit or, conversely, failure to develop a significant deposit.
Our company will be subject to operating hazards and risks which may adversely affect our company’s financial condition.
Mineral exploration involves many risks, which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of metals, such as unusual or unexpected formations, cave-ins or pollution, all of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage. We do not have general liability insurance covering our operations and do not presently intend to obtain liability insurance as to such hazards and liabilities. Payment of any liabilities as a result could have a materially adverse effect upon our company's financial condition.
Our company’s activities will be subject to environmental and other industry regulations which could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our company.
Our activities are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation generally provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, releases or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailing disposal areas, which may result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means stricter standards and enforcement, and more stringent fines and penalties for non-compliance. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and directors, officers and employees. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations could have an adverse effect on the financial condition of our company.
Our operations, including exploration and development activities and commencement of production on our properties, which will require permits from various federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities, are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities. Such actions may cause operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations and, in particular, environmental laws.
Our current property interests are located in North and South America, and the current and future economic, political and social conditions, as well as the governmental policies of the respective jurisdictions, could have an adverse effect on our company’s overall financial condition and ability to general revenues.
We expect that a substantial portion of our business, including future assets and operations of our company, will be located and conducted in North and South America, including Argentina and New Mexico. The economy of countries such as Argentina differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects. While the economies of such countries, including Argentina, have experienced significant growth in the past twenty years, growth has been uneven, both geographically and among various sectors of the economy. The governments of such countries have implemented various measures to encourage economic growth and guide the allocation of resources. While some of these measures benefit the overall economy of such countries, they may have a negative effect on our operations. For example, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by government control over capital investments or changes in tax regulations applicable to us. If there are any changes in any policies by such governments and our proposed business is negatively affected as a result, then our financial results, including our ability to generate revenues and profits, will also be negatively affected.
Competition may have an adverse impact on our company’s ability to acquire suitable mineral properties, which may have an adverse impact on our company’s operations.
Significant and increasing competition exists for the limited number of mineral acquisition opportunities available. As a result of this competition, some of which is with large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and greater financial and technical resources than our company, we may be unable to acquire attractive mineral properties on terms we consider acceptable. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that any proposed exploration and development program will yield any reserves or result in any commercial mining operation.
We currently rely on certain key individuals and the loss of one of these certain key individuals could have an adverse effect on our company.
Our company’s success depends to a certain degree upon certain key members of our management. These individuals are a significant factor in our company's growth and success. We do not have key man insurance in place in respect of any of our senior officers or personnel and we do not anticipate obtaining such insurance in the near future. The loss of the service of members of our management and certain key employees could have a material adverse effect on our company. In particular, the success of our company is highly dependant upon the efforts of our president and director, Mr. Richard Bachman, the loss of whose services would have a material adverse effect on the success and development of our company.
We are an exploration stage company, and there is no assurance that a commercially viable deposit or reserve exists on any of our properties that we have, or might obtain, an interest.
We are an exploration stage company and cannot give assurance that a commercially viable deposit, or reserve, exists on any properties for which our company currently has or may have an interest. Therefore, determination of the existence of a reserve depends on appropriate and sufficient exploration work and the evaluation of legal, economic, and environmental factors. If we fail to find a commercially viable deposit on any of our properties, our financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected in a material manner.
Investors' interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share if we issue additional shares or raise funds through the sale of equity securities.
Our constating documents authorize the issuance of 310,000,000 shares, consisting of 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001. In the event that we are required to issue any additional shares or enter into private placements to raise financing through the sale
of equity securities, investors' interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuances will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders. Further, any such issuance may result in a change in our control.
Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s “Penny Stock” regulations which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors.” The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
ITEM 2.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY.
Office Space
Our executive and head offices are located at 10580 N. McCarran Blvd., Building 115-208, Reno, Nevada.
La Jara Mesa Extension Property
The La Jara Mesa Extension uranium property consists of 137 unpatented mining claims in Grants Mining District, Ciboloa County, New Mexico. The ore body is approximately 2,600 feet in length, 500 feet in width, and has an average thickness of 11.8 feet. Between 1950 and 1978, the Grants Mining District produced 135,891 tons of U3O8, which ranks it as one of the most prolific uranium districts in the United States.
Property Acquisition
In December 2005, we acquired a 100% interest in the La Jara Mesa Extension uranium property consisting of 137
unpatented mining claims (approximately 2,740 acres) in Grants Mining District, Cibola County, New Mexico. We acquired the La Jara Mesa Extension property, which consists of 137 unpatented federal mining claims, through staking. An unpatented mining claim provides the owner with the rights to all locatable minerals as defined by the 1872 Mining Law. An annual claim fee of $140 per claim is due by September 1 of each year in order to maintain the claim in good standing.
Property Description
The formation is near horizontal and is dry. The uranium mineralization in the area occurs as tabular units within the Brushy Basin member of the Jurassic Morrison formation. The La Jara Mesa deposit, which is owned by Laramide Resources, lies on the southwest boundary of our company’s claim block and contains five separate mineralized areas. Investors are cautioned that mineral deposits on adjacent properties are not necessarily indicative of mineral deposits on our company’s properties.
Location
The La Jara Mesa deposit is located 18 kilometers northeast of Grants within the San Mateo Mountains in the Southern part of New Mexico, and has a near arid environment (10 inches annual rainfall). The mesa where the deposit occurs is 2440 meters to 2530 meters above sea level.
Local Geology
The uranium mineralization in the area occurs as tabular units within the Brushy Basin member of the Jurassic Morrison formation. The host sandstone is equivalent to the production zone at the Jackpile Mine operated by Anaconda to the east of the project area. The formation is near horizontal and is dry. The Jurassic Morrison formation's Brushy Basin host rock extends under our company’s claim block with drilled uranium reserves on the boundaries.
La Jara Mesa is sandstone hosted roll front type deposit that has been extensively explored by Homestake and others including Pathfinder and Power Resources. Since the early 1980's approximately 500 rotary holes and 18 diamond drill holes were drilled on the property; preliminary metallurgical test work and initial mine planning has also been completed.
New Mexico Uranium Districts
New Mexico ranks second in uranium reserves in the U.S., which amounts to 15 million tons ore at 0.277% U3O8 (84 million lbs U3O8) at $30/lb (Energy Information Administration, 2000). The most important uranium deposit in the state is sandstone within the Morrison Formation (Jurassic) in the Grants and Shiprock uranium districts, San Juan Basin. More than 340 million lbs of U3O8 have been produced from these uranium deposits from 1948 through 2000, accounting for 97% of the total uranium production in New Mexico and more than 30% of the total uranium production in the United States. Figure 1 illustrates the key towns and uranium mining in the surrounding area.
Only one company in New Mexico, Quivira Mining Co. owned by Rio Algom Ltd. (successor to Kerr McGee Corporation), produced uranium in 1984-2000 from waters recovered from inactive underground operations at Ambrosia Lake, Grants (mine-water recovery).
The Grants Uranium Belt, started production in the late 1940s. The boom years in the Belt were 1953-1980, when approximately 350 million pounds of yellow cake were produced. Uranium recovery operations declined dramatically after 1980, when the liquidation of large government Cold War military stockpiles depressed the uranium market. New Mexico ranks second behind Wyoming in uranium reserves. All uranium recovery in the state ceased in December 2002 and operations in the state now are focused on reclamation.
As the price of uranium rises, then the quantity of an economic resource increases. At $30/pound, the U.S. Energy Information Administrated reported the state of New Mexico held 84 million pounds of uranium oxide, grading 0.28/ton, as of Dec 31, 2004. However, at $50/pound uranium, that quantity would jump to 341 million pounds. The spread on the gross value of the uranium assets between those price levels is nearly $15 billion. As the spot price escalates, the economic reserves grow.
Rio Chubut Property
Our company’s Rio Chubut Property is comprised of 170,000 hectares, located in the Chubut Province of Patagonia, Southern Argentina. The exploration block is approximately 25 km x 60 km, and borders the Cerro Solo uranium deposit to both the North and South. Investors are cautioned that mineral deposits on adjacent properties are not necessarily indicative of mineral deposits on our company’s properties.
On February 10, 2010 we completed the sale of the Argentine subsidiary, United Energy Metals SA (UEM), to Patagonia Resources Ltd.
The Company signed a Letter of Intent with UrAmerica Ltd of London, U.K. for the sale of its Argentine subsidiary, United Energy Metals SA (UEM), which was reported in a news release dated December 1, 2009. The agreement provides for a US $500,000 cash payment to Urex with UrAmerica assuming a maximum liability of US $275,000 for the outstanding UEM debts. The Company will use the proceeds of the sale to pay down debt.
BLACK ROCK AND MONTE NEVA GEOTHERMAL PROPERTIES
On March 18, 2010, the Company acquired a total of three geothermal leases with a combined area of 2,664 hectares (“ha”) in two properties (the “Properties”), each located within favorable geothermal terrain:
The Black Rock Lease consists of three contiguous Sections (777ha) (common corners only) 13 kilometers (“km”) northeast of the community of Gerlach in the Black Rock Desert area in north-western Pershing County, approximately 135km north of the City of Reno.
The Monte Neva Lease Group consists of two leases forming a combination of contiguous and non-contiguous Section fractions (1,887ha), 45km north of the Town of Ely in central White Pine County, in the order of 440km east of Reno.
Figure 1 - Geothermal Lease Locations
Duffield and Sass (2003) summarizes the Basin and Range physiographic province of the western United States has experienced considerable lateral stretching and thinning of the earth’s crust. The northern part (also known as the Great Basin) of the Basin and Range is higher in elevation, has higher heat flow, and is more tectonically active than the southern part. The Great Basin contains the largest number of geothermal power plants in the United States.
The State of Nevada has long been known for its abundance of hot springs and other geothermal activity. In the last few years, the geothermal industry has blossomed as demands for electrical power have increased while at the same time maintaining a preference for environmentally friendly sources. Regulators have also spurred geothermal exploration and development activity by introducing subsidy programs as well as by hasting the time required to grant governmental regulatory approval for the advancement of geothermal projects.
The Company’s Lease areas constitute high calibre grassroots geothermal exploration projects as they exhibit geological and structural features which are amenable to the presence of hydrothermal channel ways. There are also numerous surface and drill well indications of proximal geothermal activity by way of anomalous temperatures in hot springs and water in wells.
Property Acquisition
The Company completed the purchase of three geothermal leases totaling 6582 acres located in the State of Nevada from Enco Explorations Inc. of Reno, Nevada. The Geothermal Lease Purchase Agreement provides for the Company to pay Enco Explorations Inc. 100 million shares of the Company’s common stock per an agreement signed March 18, 2010.
Professional Review
The Company commissioned a professional review of its geothermal leases located in northern Nevada, USA, and asked the author to express an opinion as to their geothermal potential, as well as a recommendation for a proposed plan of exploration.
This study is a combined historical document and data review as well as a report on direct observations made during a one-day field visit. The Company has compiled existing information, in some cases re-processed it, and interpreted the data.
Property Description and Location
The Properties are registered in the name of Mustang Geothermal Corp., a privately owned Nevada registered company with a business address at 10580 N. McCarran Blvd, #115-208, Reno NV, 89503. The leases are centered on:

Lease locations within Nevada are illustrated in Figure 1. Section and Range description specifics for the leases are listed in Table 1.
The leasing and development of geothermal resources in Nevada is regulated under “the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 as Amended: Act of December 24, 1970 - Geothermal Steam Act of 1970”. Initial lease tenure is 10 years and is renewable up to 40 years, providing geothermal production has been realized in the initial term. Finally, the Properties attract an annual lease payment of approximately US$19,750 ($3 per acre). This is comprised of a $1 per acre annual rental fee, combined with a $2 per acre minimum royalty levy.
Access, Infrastructure, Physiography and Climate
The Black Rock Lease is located 13km northeast of Gerlach and is easily accessed via Hwy 447 at Gerlach and then east on either Roads 34 or 48. The lease is overlain by open, vegetation barren, flat-lying playa and is very easily driven across with 4x4 vehicle when dry (Elevation 1,190m asl). The term playa refers to a desert basin with no outlet which periodically fills with water to form a temporary lake.
The community of Gerlach (pop. 500) focuses on the gypsum mining in nearby Empire as well as is supported by seasonal tourism in the Black Rock Desert, in addition to hunting. Gerlach also hosts a switching station of the Union Pacific Railroad, whose line cuts along the southern edge of the property.
The climate is typical of that of the Basin and Range Desert. The area’s average seasonal temperatures range from 5 degrees C to 32 degrees C and -8 degrees C to 11 degrees C in summer and winter respectively, with temperature extremes spanning from 43 degrees C to -31 degrees C. Precipitation is low with an average annual fall of 21cm. The area is also sporadically subject to high winds.
The Property is large enough to support a geothermal operation.
The Monte Neva Lease Group is located in the north-south trending Steptoe Valley, a couple kilometres west of the Great Basin Highway (Hwy 93) and 45km north of the Town of Ely. Reasonable access is provided by secondary roads and trails. The lease group is bisected by Duck Creek as well as a rail line which follows the western edge of the stream.
Ely (pop. 4,000) is a mining town home to a number of copper and gold mining companies. It attracts some tourism, what with a pair of state and national parks being close by.
The west portion the property group is dominated by relatively flat-lying open desert with its associated vegetation of arid desert plants, like sagebrush, bunch grass, and other low shrubs. The extreme western edge of the lease group abuts against the Egan Range. The non-contiguous east portions of the property straddle agriculture lands, including irrigation rings. Elevation ranges from 1,890m in the west to 1,815m in the east.
Climate is similar as at Black Rock.
Local Geology
The Black Rock Desert lies within the northern terminus of the Paleozoic and Merozoic Belts of the western Great Basin in the northwestern segment of the Basin and Range, just before the extensive Tertiary and Quaternary volcanic province of the Snake River Plain and the Cascades. The volcanic cover (Tertiary to recent) and subsequent Lahontan Lake lacustrine sediment extensively obscure the relatively complex pre-Cenozoic geology of the area (Maher, 1989). The eastern-central portion of the Black Rock Desert has been proposed in the past to be a portion of an exotic-terrene (Early Triassic to Late Jurassic) with tectonic structures and zones of weakness inherited from the complex past (e.g. Maher (1989); Speed (1988); Erskine and Moores (1984)). Louie et al (2004) postulates that the Cenozoic crustal extension and high heat flow in Northern Nevada are correlated with the anomalously thin crust and shallow Moho (the boundary between the earth’s crust and the underlying mantle). The Black Rock Basin itself extends in a north-northwest direction, which also makes it somewhat anomalous from the standpoint of regional Basin and Range axial trends. The complex structural-tectonic and lithologic picture is reflected in the signatures observed in the geophysical data.
The Monte Neva/Warm Springs geothermal locality is located in the Steptoe Valley Basin, within the eastern-central portion of the Basin and Range Province and is characterized by north- to northeast-trending mountain ranges separated by long alluvial-filled valleys. This basin is situated between the Egan Range (West) and the Schelbourne Range (East). The geology of the basin is complex and consists of highly faulted and folded marine sedimentary rocks of Paleozoic age, with localized Tertiary-age intrusive bodies, volcanics and Quaternary-age pediment gravels and valley sediments (Fritz, 1968; Drewes, 1967).
Fritz (1968) further reports that prior to the Jurassic, the area was mainly marine or tidal depositional environment characterized by thick sequences of carbonates and shales. A major orogeny in the Jurassic resulted in development of thrust, folds, and low angle faulting throughout the range, shaping the complex fold and thrust geology exhibited today. The present-day deformation and geology was also influenced by Tertiary Basin-and-Range extension and volcanism. The extension has resulted in the uplift of the present ranges relative to the large alluvium-filled valleys, but also in activation of volcanism resulting in the intrusion of quartz-monzonite (granite) into Paelozoic sediments, deformed by the Mesozoic orogeny. The intrusive bodies (stocks, dikes, sheets) have typically followed Mesozoic thrust faults and inherited zones of weakness. It is also postulated that recent range-faulting has been precluded by the sinuous contact between bedrock and alluvium at the margins of the range and that of major faults, folds, or even possible later intrusives, which may now lie below valley fill. A Master’s thesis by Boyden (1972) describes the geology of the Steptoe-Warm Springs pluton and discusses the possibility of it extending northeast.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report, particularly in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 of this annual report.
Our consolidated audited financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
Plan of Operations And Cash Requirements
Financing for necessary to undertake the initial evaluation of the Company’s geothermal leases and maintenance of La Jara Mesa property will cost $390,000 as set forth below:
Administrative & General
$
15,000
Machinery expense
$
70,000
TOTAL
$
360,000
We anticipate incurring the following costs during the next twelve month period: $420,000 on professional fees; $13,000 on salaries and wages; $30,000 on travel costs; $50,000 on promotional expenses; $50,000 on other administrative expenses; and an additional $1,200,000 in surface work and drilling. As a result, we anticipate that we will incur approximately $390,000 in operating expenses during the next twelve month period.
We incurred an income of $139,492 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 compared to a loss of $1,404,241 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2010 we had working capital deficit of $594,047 compared to working capital of $866,095 as of March 31, 2009.
As indicated above, our estimated working capital requirements and projected operating expenses for the next twelve month period total $390,000. Our current working capital will likely be sufficient to cover our estimated capital requirements during the next twelve month period, however, we may be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities or through debt financing. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the required capital or that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. We intend to fulfil any additional cash requirement through the sale of our equity securities.
Given that we are an exploration stage company and have not generated revenues to date, our cash flow projections are subject to numerous contingencies and risk factors beyond our control, including exploration and development risks, competition from well-funded competitors, and our ability to manage growth. We can offer no assurance that our expenses will not exceed our projections. If our expenses exceed estimates, we will require additional monies during the next twelve months to execute our business plan.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operation. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the operation of our business.
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as the continuation of our business is dependent upon obtaining further long-term financing, successful exploration and development of our property interests and, finally, achieving a profitable level of operations. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Exploration and Development Costs
Our proposed work program this d recommended within the proposed budget of $390,000:
1. The most prospective ground at Black Rock lies outside the current lease. The two outlined target zones must be acquired via the BLM public option process. Additional recommended work on this project is contingent upon these target areas being successfully acquired.
2. It would be prudent to also to attempt to consolidate the Monte Neva Lease Group, especially west of Duck Creek.
3. Envisaged work programs on the two properties would be similar in nature for each: broader coverage of the shallow-temperature gradient surveys, additional re-processing of existing data (magnetic, gravity, GETECH, and especially for the audio-magnetotelluric data), ground magnetic and vlf surveys to help detail map structure. The seimic method has also been used to good effect to help map pregnant geothermal structures at depth. Favorable results would by followed-up by the drilling of deeper, but still relatively shallow wells for the purposes of temperature test readings.
4. The geothermal wells portion of the recommended work for the Properties is contingent on the results of the preceding data reprocessing and new geophysical surveys. As previously
During the next twelve month period, we plan to put all exploration activities into our geothermal properties in Nevada with the New Mexico uranium property on hold. Given the current difficult financial and economic environment the Company is considering alternatives to conventional financing due to limited availability of financing at desirable terms.
Capital Expenditures
As of March 31, 2010, our company did not have any material commitments for capital expenditures and management does not anticipate that our company will spend additional material amounts on capital expenditures during the next twelve month period.
Employees
We have no employees. Our operations are conducted by management, all of whom are consultants. We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next twelve month period. Given the early stage of our development and exploration properties, we intend to continue to outsource our professional and personnel requirements by retaining consultants on an as needed basis. However, if we are successful in our initial and any subsequent development and exploration programs, we may retain additional consultants.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As at March 31, 2010, we had working capital deficit of $594,047. Our financial statements report a net income of $139,492 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 as compared to a net loss of $1,404,241 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. Our accumulated losses for the period from February 6, 2002, our date of inception, to March 31, 2010 was $9,215,118.
Our total liabilities as of March 31, 2010 were $767,768, as compared to total liabilities of $1,080,670 as at March 31, 2009. The change was due primarily to increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Cash Flow Used in Operating Activities
Operating activities used cash of $215,636 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, compared to using $1,087,799 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The increase in cash used during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 was commensurate with an increase in our accounts receivable and prepaid expenses.
Cash Flow Used in Investing Activities
Investing activities used cash of $2,788 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 and did not generate any cash during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2010.
Cash Flow Provided by Financing Activities
Financing activities provided cash of $163,147 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 as compared to used cash of $263,147 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009. The increase in cash provided from financing activities for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009 resulted from loans to the company.
Trends and Uncertainties
Our ability to generate revenues in the future is dependent on whether we successfully explore and develop our current property interests or any property interests that we may acquire in the future. We cannot predict whether or when this may happen and this causes uncertainty with respect to the growth of our company and our ability to generate revenues.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our company has no outstanding derivative financial instruments, off-balance sheet guarantees, interest rate swap transactions or foreign currency contracts. Neither our company nor our operating subsidiary engages in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying disclosures of our company. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions that our company may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from such estimates.
Going Concern
We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon us attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital.
Due to the uncertainty of our company’s ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above, in their report on the annual financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2010, our company’s independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The continuation of our company’s business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by our company could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our company’s current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our company’s liabilities and future cash commitments.
There are no assurances that our company will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations. As noted herein, we intend to pursue various financing alternatives to meet our immediate and long-term financial requirements. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to our company when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will be unable to conduct our operations as planned, and we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due. In such event, we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
Exploration Stage Company
The Company is an exploration stage company, and follows the guideline of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915 Development State Entities. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. All losses accumulated since inception, have been considered as part of the Company’s exploration stage activities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (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 and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt securities purchased with original or remaining maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Concentration of credit risks
The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains accounts with financial institutions, which at times exceeds the insured Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $100,000. The Company minimizes its credit risks associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institutions.
Mineral Property Costs
Mineral property acquisition, exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred until such time as economic reserves are quantified. From that time forward, the Company will capitalize all costs to the extent that future cash flows from mineral reserves equal or exceed the costs deferred. The deferred costs will be amortized over the recoverable reserves when a property reaches commercial production. Costs related to site restoration programs will be accrued over the life of the project. To date, the Company has not established any proven reserves on its mineral properties.
Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgement, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value. For the purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale of liquidation.
The carrying values of cash, accounts payable and loan payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Environmental Costs
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company's commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In the second quarter of 2009, The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 105 as the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. On the effective date, all then-existing non-SEC accounting literature and reporting standards were superseded and deemed non-authoritative. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our financial statements; however, the ASC affected the way we reference authoritative guidance in our financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 which includes amendments to Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures-Overall”. The update provides clarification that in circumstances, in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update. The amendments in this ASU clarify that a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The guidance provided in this ASU is effective for the first reporting period, including interim
periods, beginning after issuance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740), ”Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities”, which provides implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, as well as eliminates certain disclosure requirements for nonpublic entities. For entities that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, this update shall be effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. For those entities that have deferred the application of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with paragraph 740-10-65-1(e), this update shall be effective upon adoption of those standards. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations since this accounting standard update provides only implementation and disclosure amendments.
In September 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. This ASU amends Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall”, to permit a reporting entity to measure the fair value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent). This ASU also requires new disclosures, by major category of investments including the attributes of investments within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The guidance in this update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial position and results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-14, “Software (Topic 985)-Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements” and changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Under this guidance, tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product's essential functionality are excluded from the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605, “Software-Revenue Recognition”. In addition, hardware components of a tangible product containing software components are always excluded from the software revenue guidance. The guidance in this ASU is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09 which requires that an SEC filer, as defined, evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The update also removed the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and board of directors
UREX Energy Corp.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of UREX Energy Corp. (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) as of March 31, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the period from February 6, 2002 (inception) to March 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB).Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of UREX Energy Corp. as of March 31, 2010 and 2009 the results of its consolidated operations and cash flows for the years then ended and the period from February 6, 2002 (inception) to March 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $9,215,118 since inception, has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its exploration activities. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

UREX ENERGY CORP.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2010
Note 1
Nature and Continuance of Operations
Urex Energy Corp (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 6, 2002 and changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to March 31. In July 2006, the Company changed its name from Lakefield Ventures, Inc. to its current name. The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not realized any revenues from its planned operations. The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Upon location of a commercial minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for its extraction and enter into a development stage.
The Company was conducting a drilling project in Mendoza, Argentina, by its former wholly-owned subsidiary, United Energy Metals, Inc. (“UEM”). Effective January 31, 2010, the Company entered into an Agreement with UrAmerica Ltd. and sold its subsidiary for $500,000 cash payment. UrAmerica Ltd will assume responsibility for the outstanding UEM debts.
The Company entered into an agreement with Enco Explorations Inc. on March 18, 2010 to purchase certain Geothermal Leases.
Subsequent to the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company effected a name change from Urex Energy Corp to Mustang Geothermal Corp. As of the filing date, this name change is pending approval from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or FINRA. At the same time, it effected a reverse stock split of 200 to 1.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has accumulated a deficit of $9,215,118 since inception, has yet to achieve profitable operations and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business, raising substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $594,047. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company anticipates that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of common stock and/or commercial borrowing. There can be no assurance that capital will be available, it will be on terms acceptable to the Company. The issuances of additional equity securities by the Company would result in a dilution in the equity interests of its current stockholders. The Company may also seek to obtain short-term loans from the directors of the Company. There are no current arrangements in place for equity funding or short-term loans.
Note 2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
UREX ENERGY CORP.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2010
Note 2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (Cont’d)
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current year financial statements.
Exploration Stage Company
The Company is an exploration stage company, and follows the guideline of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915 Development State Entities. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. All losses accumulated since inception, have been considered as part of the Company’s exploration stage activities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (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 and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt securities purchased with original or remaining maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Concentration of credit risks
The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk primarily from cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains accounts with financial institutions, which at times exceeds the insured Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $100,000. The Company minimizes its credit risks associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institutions.
Mineral Property Costs
Mineral property acquisition, exploration and development costs are expensed as incurred until such time as economic reserves are quantified. From that time forward, the Company will capitalize all costs to the extent that future cash flows from mineral reserves equal or exceed the costs deferred. The deferred costs will be amortized over the recoverable reserves when a property reaches commercial production. Costs related to site restoration programs will be accrued over the life of the project. To date, the Company has not established any proven reserves on its mineral properties.

Note 2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (cont'd)
Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgement, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value. For the purpose of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale of liquidation.
The carrying values of cash, accounts payable and loan payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Environmental Costs
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company's commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the guideline under ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes. “Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Since the Company is in the exploration stage and has had continuous losses, no deferred tax asset or income taxes have been recorded in the financial statements.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with the ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Basic loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stop options were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s subsidiary was located and operates outside of the United States of America. It maintains its accounting records in Argentinean Pesos as follows:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2010
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (cont'd)
Foreign Currency Translation - (Cont’d)
At the transaction date, each asset, liability, revenue and expense is recorded into Argentinean Pesos by the use of the exchange rate in effect at that date. At the year end, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars by using the exchange rate in effect at that date. The resulting foreign exchange gains and losses are included in operations.
On February 10, 2010 reports that it has completed the sale of its Argentine subsidiary, United Energy Metals SA (UEM), to Patagonia Resources Ltd.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company follows the guideline under ASC Topic 718 “Compensation-Stock”. Compensation for all stock based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. Stock compensation expenses are to be recorded using the fair value method.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In the second quarter of 2009, The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 105 as the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. On the effective date, all then-existing non-SEC accounting literature and reporting standards were superseded and deemed nonauthoritative. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on our financial statements; however, the ASC affected the way we reference authoritative guidance in our financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05 which includes amendments to Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures-Overall”. The update provides clarification that in circumstances, in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the techniques provided for in this update. The amendments in this ASU clarify that a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability and also clarifies that both a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability at the measurement date and the quoted price for the identical liability when traded as an asset in an active market when no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required are Level 1 fair value measurements. The guidance provided in this ASU is effective for the first reporting period, including interim periods, beginning after issuance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations
In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-06, Income Taxes (Topic 740), ”Implementation Guidance on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes and Disclosure Amendments for Nonpublic Entities”, which provides implementation guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, as well as eliminates certain disclosure requirements for nonpublic entities. For entities that are currently applying the standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, this update shall be effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. For those entities that have deferred the application of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in accordance with paragraph 740-10-65-1(e), this update shall be effective upon adoption of those standards. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have an

impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations since this accounting standard update provides only implementation and disclosure amendments.
In September 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820) - Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)”. This ASU amends Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Overall”, to permit a reporting entity to measure the fair value of certain investments on the basis of the net asset value per share of the investment (or its equivalent). This ASU also requires new disclosures, by major category of investments including the attributes of investments within the scope of this amendment to the Codification. The guidance in this update is effective for interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 2009. Early application is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on its financial position and results of operations.
In October 2009, the FASB has published ASU 2009-14, “Software (Topic 985)-Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements” and changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Under this guidance, tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product's essential functionality are excluded from the software revenue guidance in Subtopic 985-605, “Software-Revenue Recognition”. In addition, hardware components of a tangible product containing software components are always excluded from the software revenue guidance. The guidance in this ASU is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09 which requires that an SEC filer, as defined, evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The update also removed the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3
Mineral Properties
In December 2005, the Company acquired 100% interest in the La Jara Mesa Extension uranium property consisting of 137 unpatented mining claims of approximately 2,740 acres through staking, in the Grants Mining District of Cibola County in New Mexico, USA. The Company plans to commence a drilling exploration program as soon as financing is arranged.

ITEM 8A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President (who is also our Secretary) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of March 31, 2010, the end of the year covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President (who is also our Secretary), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our President (who is also our Secretary) concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report.
There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended March 31, 2010 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Management’s report on internal control over financial reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitation, 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. Based on its assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effect at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2010, based on criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the COSO).

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to provide us with copies of those filings. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that during fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10% percent beneficial owners were complied with, with the exception of the following:
- 26 -
Code of Ethics
Effective July 11, 2007, our company's board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, our company's president (being our principal executive officer) and our company's secretary (being our principal financial and accounting officer and controller), as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
(1)
honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
(2)
full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;
(3)
compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
(4)
the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and
(5)
accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company's personnel shall be accorded full access to our president and secretary with respect to any matter which may arise relating to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Further, all of our company's personnel are to be accorded full access to our company's board of directors if any such matter involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by our president or secretary.
In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly managers and/or supervisors, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal , provincial and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to his or her immediate supervisor or to our company's president or secretary. If the incident involves an alleged breach of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by the president or secretary, the incident must be reported to any member of our board of directors. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.
Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is filed as Exhibit 14.1 to this annual report on Form 10-KSB. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Urex Energy Corp., 10580 N. McCarran Blvd., Building 115-208, Reno, Nevada.

Corporate Governance
Nomination Process
As of July 11, 2007, we did not effect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors. Our board of directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our board of directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they may do so by sending communications to the President of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report.
Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not have a standing audit committee at the present time. Our board of directors has determined that we do not have a board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B, nor do we have a board member that qualifies as an “independent director” as defined in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Rules of Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.
We believe that the members of our board of directors our capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because we believe that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the board of directors, consisting of Richard Bachman, Gerald Aberle, and Brian Cole. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any revenues from operations to date.

ITEM 14.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
Audit Fees
Our board of directors appointed Jewett, Schwartz & Associates as independent auditors to audit our financial statements for the current fiscal year. The aggregate fees billed by Jewett, Schwartz & Associates for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $25,500 and $25,500, respectively.
Audit Related Fees
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services by Jewett, Schwartz & Associates relating to our quarterly financial statements which are not reported under the caption “Audit Fees” above, were $Nil.
Tax Fees
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the aggregate fees billed for tax compliance, by Jewett, Schwartz & Associates were $0 and $22,500, respectively.
All Other Fees
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the aggregate fees billed by Jewett, Schwartz & Associates for other non-audit professional services, other than those services listed above, totalled $Nil and $Nil, respectively.
Our board of directors, who acts as our audit committee, has adopted a policy governing the pre-approval by the board of directors of all services, audit and non-audit, to be provided to our company by our independent auditors. Under the policy, the board or directors has pre-approved the provision by our independent auditors of specific audit, audit related, tax and other non-audit services as being consistent with auditor independence. Requests or applications to provide services that require the specific pre-approval of the board of directors must be submitted to the board of directors by the independent auditors, and the independent auditors must advise the board of directors as to whether, in the independent auditor's view, the request or application is consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules on auditor independence.
The board of directors has considered the nature and amount of the fees billed by Jewett, Schwartz & Associates and believes that the provision of the services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining the independence of Jewett, Schwartz & Associates.
