Except as described in the SEC Reports, each of the Company and the Company’s subsidiary, Gold Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation (“GAC”) has record title to the unpatented mining claims (“Mining Claims”) and unpatented millsites (“Millsites”) it owns, and record title to its leasehold and subleasehold interests in real property (the “Leasehold Estates”), in each case subject to no Encumbrances, other than (a) the production royalties listed in Schedule 3.15 , (b) Encumbrances those resulting from taxes which have not yet become delinquent; and (c) Encumbrances which do not materially detract from the value of the property subject thereto or materially impair the operations of the Company; and (d) those that have otherwise arisen in the ordinary course of business, none of which are material; and, with respect to the Mining Claims and Millsites, subject to the paramount title of the United States of America and the statutory rights of third parties to use the surface of the Mining Claims and Millsites and to explore for and develop federal leasable minerals. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.15 , each of the Company and GAC are in compliance with all material terms of each lease or sublease of real property to which it is a party or is otherwise bound. Nothing in this Section 3.15 , however, shall be deemed to be a representation or a warranty that any of the Mining Claims contains a discovery of valuable minerals.
