The names of the reporting persons are (i) Hanlong (USA) Mining Investment, Inc. (“Hanlong USA”), and (ii) Nelson Feng Chen. Hanlong USA is a Delaware corporation, the principal business of which is investing in mining resources. The address of both its principal business and its principal office is Suite 2903, 9 Castlereagh Street, Sydney NSW 2000 Australia. On September 14, 2011, Mr. Chen, a citizen of Australia, became the President and a Director of Hanlong USA, which is his principal occupation. Mr. Chen’s business address is the same as the principal business address of Hanlong USA. All of the voting and investment power with respect to the shares of the Common Stock held in the name of Hanlong USA, which was previously delegated to Steven Hui Xiao by Hanlong USA, has been delegated to Mr. Chen. Mr. Xiao no longer has or shares voting or investment power with respect to such shares. During the last five years, none of Hanlong USA, its executive officers or directors, including Mr. Chen, or the controlling persons of Hanlong USA has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). During the last five years, none of Hanlong USA, its executive officers or directors, including Mr. Chen, or the controlling persons of Hanlong USA has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, the result of which has made it once or now subject to a judgment, decree of final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
The information required by Item C of the General Instructions relating to the executive officers, the directors and the controlling persons of Hanlong USA is set forth on Appendix A hereto, which is incorporated herein by this reference. |
|
|
|
|
Item 3. |

|
|
Mr. Chen is a director of the Issuer. On February 16, 2012, in accordance with the Issuer’s standard director compensation program, Mr. Chen was issued a sign-on equity grant of 20,000 fully vested shares of the Common Stock and an annual equity grant of 15,000 fully vested shares of the Common Stock. Hanlong USA disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares. |
|
CUSIP No. 370373102 |
|
Item 4. |
Purpose of Transaction |
|
|
The shares of the Common Stock granted to Mr. Chen by the Issuer were issued in accordance with the Issuer’s standard director compensation program. It is anticipated that Mr. Chen may be granted additional shares of the Issuer’s stock in future years under the terms of the director compensation program during the period that Mr. Chen remains a director of the Issuer.
Mr. Chen and Hanlong USA reserve the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock or to dispose of such shares in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or in any other lawful manner in the future. |
|
|
|
|
Item 5. |
Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
|
|
(a) and (b) Hanlong USA and Mr. Chen share the power to vote, direct the vote, dispose and direct the disposition of 11,843,341 shares of the Common Stock, which represent 13.0% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock. Mr. Chen has sole power to vote, direct the vote, dispose and direct the disposition of an additional 35,000 shares of the Common Stock, which represent 0.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and, together with the 11,843,341 shares of the Common Stock, represent 13.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock. Hanlong USA disclaims any beneficial ownership in the 35,000 shares of the Common Stock held by Mr. Chen.
(c) See Items 2 and 3 above.
(d) No one other than Mr. Chen is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of the Common Stock owned by Mr. Chen. No one other than Hanlong USA is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of the Common Stock owned by Hanlong USA and, subject to voting and dispositive power, by Mr. Chen.

|
|
Item 6. |
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
|
|
In connection with the initial acquisition by Hanlong USA of the shares of the Common Stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2010, by and between the Issuer and Hanlong USA (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Issuer and Hanlong USA entered into a Stockholder Agreement (the “Stockholder Agreement”). The Stockholder Agreement imposes limits on acquisitions and dispositions by Hanlong USA, or any entity related to Hanlong USA, of shares of the Common Stock; prohibits certain actions by Hanlong USA, or any entity related to Hanlong USA, relating to the Common Stock; and requires that the shares of the Common Stock held in the name of Hanlong USA be voted in a certain manner. |
|
CUSIP No. 370373102 |
|
|
Other than the Purchase Agreement and the Stockholder Agreement, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the persons named in Item 2 and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any of the securities, finders’ fees, joint ventures, loans or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies. No securities are pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency, the occurrence of which would give another person voting power or investment power over such securities. |
