EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Company determined, during the preparation of its subsidiary Tara Minerals Corp’s. (“Tara Minerals”), Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, that it failed to recognize exploration expenses of $1,432,000 pertaining to the purchase of technical data for Centenario, La Palma and La Verde mining concessions in the Tara Minerals financial statements. Per the purchase agreements, Tara Minerals guaranteed the stock price of $2.00 per share of common stock. At the time of issuance, Tara Minerals common stock was fair market valued at $0.85 per share. This resulted in the understatement of exploration expenses of $1,432,000 for the nine months ended September 31, 2011.

In March 2011, Tara Minerals purchased technical data pertaining to Centenario from the former owner in consideration for 416,100 shares of the Tara Minerals’ common stock and $100,000 cash. The parties agreed that the value of the stock for the technical data was $2.00 per share for Tara Minerals’ common stock which Tara Minerals guaranteed the stock price of $2.00. As such, the shares have been recognized at the full contract amount of $932,000. At April 2011, Tara Minerals issued 416,100 shares of common stock valued at $354,000 and will settle the remaining shares at the time that the former owner exercises its right to sell, shown in the balance sheet as technical data purchased with common stock.

In March 2011, Tara Minerals purchased technical data pertaining to the La Palma from the former owner for 460,000 shares of Tara Minerals’ common stock. The parties agreed that the value of the stock for the technical data was $2.00 per share for Tara Minerals’ common stock which Tara Minerals guaranteed the stock price of $2.00. As such, the shares have been recognized at the full contract amount of $920,000. At April 2011, Tara Minerals issued 460,000 shares of common stock valued at $391,000 and will settle the remaining shares at the time that the former owner exercises its right to sell, shown in the balance sheet as technical data purchased with common stock.

In April 2011, Tara Minerals purchased technical data pertaining to the La Verde from the former owner for 370,000 shares of Tara Minerals’ common stock. The parties agreed that the value of the stock for the technical data was $2.00 per share for Tara Minerals’ common stock and Tara Minerals guaranteed the stock price of $2.00. As such, the shares have been recognized at the full contract amount of $740,000. At April 2011, Tara Minerals issued 370,000 shares of common stock valued at $315,000 and will settle the remaining shares at the time that the former owner exercises its right to sell, shown in the balance sheet as technical data purchased with common stock.

As of September 31, 2011, the Company owned 55% of the outstanding shares of Tara Minerals. The error above resulted in an understatement of accumulated deficit during the exploration state of $951,000 and non-controlling interest of $951,000.

The effect on the Company’s previously issued September 30, 2011 financial statements are summarized as follows:

Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the Company include the operation of its subsidiaries and all references to Adit include the operations of its subsidiary.

The reporting currency of the Company, Tara Minerals and Adit is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of Amermin, AMM and ACM is the Mexican Peso. As a result, the financial statements of the subsidiaries have been re-measured from Mexican pesos into U.S. dollars using (i) current exchange rates for monetary asset and liability accounts, (ii) historical exchange rates for nonmonetary asset and liability accounts, (iii) historical exchange rates for revenues and expenses associated with nonmonetary assets and liabilities and (iv) the weighted average exchange rate of the reporting period for all other revenues and expenses. In addition, foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from U.S. dollar denominated transactions are eliminated. The resulting re-measurement gain or loss is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss).

Table of Contents

The financial statements of the Mexican subsidiaries should not be construed as representations that Mexican pesos have been, could have been or may in the future be converted into U.S. dollars at such rates or any other rates. Current and historical exchange rates are not indicative of what future exchange rates will be and should not be construed as such.

Relevant exchange rates used in the preparation of the financial statements for Amermin, AMM and ACM are as follows the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (denoted in Mexican pesos per one U.S. dollar):

	2011
Current exchange rate at September 30,	Ps. 13.4567
Weighted average exchange rate for the nine months ended September 30,	Ps. 12.0300

	2010
Current exchange rate at September 30,	Ps. 12.4801
Weighted average exchange rate for the nine months ended September 30,	Ps. 12.7178

Allowance for doubtful accounts

Each period the Company analyzes its receivables for collectability. When a receivable is determined to not be collectible the receivable is allowed for until there is assurance of its collection or that a write off is necessary. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Company has allowed for $2,601,536 and $2,009,548, respectively, relating to other receivables, due to the determination that the Mexican government may not allow the complete refund of value added taxes (“VAT”) previously paid by the Company

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications reported in prior records, which have no effect on net loss, have been adjusted to conform to the current presentation. Specifically, certain items in the Operating Activities section of the Statement of Cash Flows and the Non-operating income/expense section of the Income statement have been reclassified between categories in the inception to date column for clearer presentation.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 Equivalents and Marketable Securities

All highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

Investments with stated maturities of greater than three months and traded on an active markets that are accessible at the measurement date are classified as available-for-sale marketable securities. In accordance with the Comprehensive Income topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification “FASB ASC”, the Company has accounted for unrealized gain (loss) as a component of other comprehensive income. An unrealized gain of $369,005 was recorded in other comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Purchase of Technical Data

Technical data, including engineering reports, maps, assessment reports, exploration samples certificates, surveys, environmental studies and other miscellaneous information, may be purchased for our mining concessions. When purchased for concessions without proven reserves the cost is considered research and development pertaining to a developing mine and in accordance with the Research and Development (R&D) Topic of FASB ASC and is expensed when incurred.

Financial Instruments

The Company periodically enters into financial instruments. Upon entry, each instrument is reviewed for debt or equity treatment. In the event that the debt or equity treatment is not readily apparent, FASB 480-10-S99 is consulted for temporary treatment, once a triggering event of any such instruments happen that remove the temporary element the Company appropriately reclassifies the instrument to debt or equity.

Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

Adopted

In October 2009, the FASB issued changes to revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable arrangements. These changes require separation of consideration received in such arrangements by establishing a selling price hierarchy (not the same as fair value) for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which will be based on available information in the following order: vendor-specific objective evidence, third-party evidence, or estimated selling price; eliminate the residual method of allocation and require that the consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method, which allocates any discount in the arrangement to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable’s selling price; require that a vendor determine its best estimate of selling price in a manner that is consistent with that used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis; and expand the disclosures related to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. These changes become effective on January 1, 2011. The Company has determined that the adoption of these changes will not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements, as the Company does not currently have any such arrangements with its customers.

Issued

In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that amends the accounting standard on fair value measurements. The accounting standard update provides for a consistent definition and measurement of fair value, as well as similar disclosure requirements between U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. The accounting standard update changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement, and expands the fair value measurement disclosure requirements, particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this accounting standard update are to be applied prospectively and are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard update will become effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows

Table of Contents

In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which requires the presentation of components of other comprehensive income with the components of net income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income that contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. This accounting standard update eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of shareholders’ equity, and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard update will become effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that amends the accounting guidance on goodwill impairment testing. The amendments in this accounting standard update are intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The amendments in this accounting standard update are effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standard update will become effective for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, result of operations or cash flows.

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In addition to the $2,150,000 above, the Company capitalized $173,913 in payments made toward the original agreement. Pursuant to the agreement signed in April 2007 this payment could not be applied to the purchase price. Accordingly, the effective purchase price of the properties is $2,663,913.

The Company is currently reviewing the Las Minitas property for continued inclusion as part of the Company’s mining property portfolio. No payments toward this property have been made in 2011 and the Company may decide to terminate the purchase agreement and return the property.

ii)

In August, 2011 the Company entered into an agreement with Carnegie Mining and Exploration, Inc. which provides Carnegie with the option to earn up to a 50% interest in the Company’s Don Roman and all of the Company’s Iron Ore Properties located in Mexico, including the Company’s Tania Iron Ore property.

As consideration for the option, Carnegie paid $100,000 to the Company which was recorded as deferred revenue at September 2011 and Carnegie spent $150,000 toward bringing the Don Roman mine back into production. The Company will defer revenue recognition on payments received from joint venture partners for options to purchase interests in mining concessions. Upon successfully completing the terms of the agreement or upon a triggering termination event, a gain on the sale of the mining concession will be recognized.

In order to earn a 30% interest in the Don Roman project, Carnegie no later than:

December 6, 2011, must spend $2,000,000 in Start-Up Expenditures and achieve a Production Rate of at least 120 tonnes of iron ore throughput per day at the Don Roman Groupings, and

August 7, 2012, must spend an additional $6,000,000 on the Don Roman project and achieve a Production Rate of at least 360 tonnes of iron ore throughput per day.

If Carnegie is able to achieve the required Production Rates with an expenditure of less than $2,000,000 before December 6, 2011 or a cumulative $8,000,000 before August 7, 2012 (as the case may be) the amounts not spent by Carnegie, may, at Carnegie’s option, be paid to the Company in cash or used to acquire additional mining concessions.

In order to earn a 50% interest in the Don Roman project, Carnegie, must by no later than August 7, 2013, spend at least an additional $5,000,000 on the Don Roman project and achieve and maintain a Production Rate of at least 600 tonnes of iron ore per day.

For purposes of the agreement between the Company and Carnegie, the term Production Rate means the tonnes which are being processed by the mill at the Don Roman site.

In Mexico, weight is denominated in tonnes. One tone is equal to 2,200 pounds.

Table of Contents

If Carnegie spends at least $2,000,000 in Start-Up Expenditures, Carnegie will be entitled to 50% of the net income from the Don Roman mine until Carnegie earns, or fails to earn, its 30% interest in the Don Roman project. If Carnegie fails to earn its 30% interest in the Don Roman project, Carnegie’s rights to any income from the Don Roman mine will terminate. If Carnegie earns its 30% interest in the Don Roman project, Carnegie will continue to be entitled to a 50% interest in the net income from Don Roman mine until Carnegie earns, or fails to earn its 50% interest in the Don Roman project. If Carnegie fails to earn its 50% interest in the Don Roman project, Carnegie will be entitled to a 30% interest in the net income from the Don Roman mine. If Carnegie earns its 50% interest in the Don Roman project, Carnegie will continue to be entitled to a 50% interest in the net income from Don Roman mine.

Carnegie may earn a 50% interest in the Company’s Iron Ore Properties in Mexico, by spending a minimum of $1,000,000, of the Start-Up Expenditures toward a designated Iron Ore property by November 6, 2011. Any amounts spent by Carnegie on the designated Iron Ore Property will be credited toward the amount Carnegie is required to spend to obtain a 30% interest in the Don Roman project. If Carnegie spends the $1,000,000, but does not elect to acquire a 50% in the Iron Ore Property, then the Company will issue to Carnegie 1,000,000 shares of the Company common stock. As of November 6, 2011, Carnegie had not earned the 50% interest and was notified that its option on the Iron Ore properties had expired.

iii)

In November 2008, the Company, through its subsidiary, Tara Minerals, acquired eight mining concessions known as “Centenario” from an independent third party. The properties approximate 5,400 hectares and were purchased for $1,894,050, including $247,050 in value added taxes.

In June 2009, the Company, through its subsidiary, Tara Minerals, and the note holder modified the agreement to 1) revalue the entire Centenario concession to $2,000,000, 2) apply $127,000 toward the purchase price which had already been paid and recorded as a mining deposit, and 3) apply $197,956 toward the new price of the concession which was originally paid by another subsidiary of the Company. These changes resulted in the following 1) additional debt of $28,044 plus related value added tax for these concessions, 2) the reduction of the amount of the mining deposit of $127,000, 3) the expense of $6,000 that the Company also paid but which was not included in the revaluation of the concession, and 4) the increase in Due to Related Party of $197,956 plus related value added tax.

Iron Ore Properties and Related Financial Instrument

In May 2011, Tara Minerals reached an agreement for the right to mine the 3,233 hectare Tania Iron Ore Property located in Manzanillo, State of Colima, Mexico. Tara Minerals has the right to remove 6 million tonnes of salable concentrate from the property, with perpetual renewal rights, extending through the life of the property. Tara Minerals will pay the vendor $6 per salable tone for the first 500,000 tonnes removed from the property and $7 per tone thereafter. As of September 30, 2011 Tara Minerals had advanced $66,667 toward a total of $100,000 to the vendor against future royalty payments.

Table of Contents

Tara Minerals raised $750,000 through a financial instrument to fund potential Iron Ore Properties. A portion of the funds will be used to secure appropriate environmental permits, export permits, and recovery process engineering. The financial instrument has no repayment requirement, except if the Iron Ore Properties generate revenue. As Tara Minerals’s common stock has not been issued and this is not a debt instrument, the amount raised has been treated as a temporary financing until such time as changes require debt or permanent equity treatment. The beneficial conversion feature of this instrument was determined to be $180,000. Once a triggering event takes place the beneficial conversion feature accounting will follow the treatment of debt or equity.

Tara Gold anticipates that its capital requirements during the twelve months ending November 17, 2012 will be:

Tara Minerals
Exploration and Development – Don Roman Groupings	$	1,500,000
Exploration and Development - Picacho Groupings		2,500,000
Exploration and Development – Iron Ore Properties		750,000
Property taxes		95,000
General and administrative expenses		400,000

Tara Gold
Property taxes		34,000
General and administrative expenses		100,000
Total	$	5,379,000

The capital requirements shown above include capital required by Tara Gold and its subsidiaries.

Tara Gold will need to obtain additional capital if it is unable to generate sufficient cash from its operations or find joint venture partners to fund all or part of its exploration and development costs.

In 2011, Tara Gold has sought to expand and advance the Don Roman Groupings project by acquiring additional highly prospective mineral claims; and by opening up the project to numerous parties that have expressed an interest in the possibility of becoming an operating partner in the further development of the Don Roman Groupings. In April 2011, the Company signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) that would provide the capital and expertise to restart the operations at Don Roman and explore the full potential of the land package we have assembled.

In August, a Definitive Agreement was signed that included an option for Carnegie mining to earn a 50% interest in the Don Roman Groupings and an additional option to earn an interest in all Iron Ore Properties located in Mexico, which Tara Gold controls or may control through this Joint Venture. The Company believes this relationship to be strategic and should serve to develop Don Roman along with our Iron Ore Properties in an aggressive manor. Development aimed at near term production and cash flow remains the Joint Venture’s objective, with expansion of production accomplished in Phases. It will also be a priority of the Joint Venture to begin to prove our resources under professional guide lines such as NI43-101 standards. As of November 6, 2011, Carnegie had not earned the 50% interest in the Iron Ore Properties option and was notified that its option on the Iron Ore Properties had expired. Subsequent to this notice Carnegie has requested mediation to which we have agreed.

As of November 17, 2011 Tara Minerals was reviewing the Pirita and Las Minitas properties for continued inclusion as part of the Company’s mining property portfolio. No payments toward this property have been made in 2011 and the Company may decide to terminate the purchase agreement and return the property due to its current focus as described above. Tara Gold is critically reviewing all properties for joint venture or sale opportunities.

Tara Gold’s future plans will be dependent upon the amount of capital available to Tara Gold, the amount of cash provided by its operations, and the extent to which Tara Gold is able to have joint venture partners pay the costs of exploring and developing its mining properties.

Tara Gold does not have any commitments or arrangements from any person to provide Tara Gold with any additional capital. If additional financing is not available when needed, Tara Gold may continue to operate in its present mode or Tara Gold may need to cease operations. Tara Gold does not have any plans, arrangements or agreements to sell its assets or to merge with another entity.

See Note 1 to the financial statements included as part of this report for a description of Tara Gold’s accounting policies and recent accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Francis Richard Biscan, Jr., Tara Gold’s Principal Executive Officer and Lynda R. Keeton-Cardno, Tara Gold’s Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of Tara Gold’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report, and in their opinion Tara Gold’s disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective due to the ineffective review of three specific contract terms resulting in the amendment of this report. The Company has stressed the importance of contract review within the Company.

There were no changes in Tara Gold’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Tara Gold’s internal control over financial reporting.
