NOTE G  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings The Company may be subject to a variety of claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We are currently not a party to any litigation. Contingency During March 2016, our Board of Directors approved the grant and issuance of 3.0 million new equity shares of Oceanica Resources, S.R.L. to two attorneys for their future services. This equity is only issuable upon the Mexicans government approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for our Mexican subsidiary. This grant of new shares was also approved by the Administrators of Oceanica Resources, S.R.L. We also owe a consultant a contingent success fee of $200,000 upon the approval of the EIA. The EIA has not been approved as of the date of this report. Going Concern Consideration We have experienced several years of net losses and may continue to do so. Our ability to generate net income or positive cash flows for the following twelve months is dependent upon our success in developing and monetizing our interests in mineral exploration entities, generating income from exploration charters, collecting on amounts owed to us, and completing the Minera del Norte S.A. de c.v. (MINOSA) and Penelope Mining LLC (Penelope) equity financing transaction approved by our stockholders on June 9, 2015. On March 24, 2017, we received NASDAQ communication notifying us our market capitalization was below the required minimum of $35.0 million for 30 consecutive days. The notice provided 180 days, or until September 20, 2017, to regain compliance. To regain compliance during this period, the market capitalization of our public common shares must be at least $35.0 million for ten consecutive business days. On August 3, 2017, we met this compliance requirement. Our 2017 business plan requires us to generate new cash inflows to effectively allow us to perform our planned projects. We plan to generate new cash inflows through the monetization of our receivables and equity stakes in
