ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
| (a) | Aggregate Beneficial Ownership: |
Name | Title of Security | Amount | Percentage of Shares of Common Stock(1) |
| Nanominerals Corp. | Common Stock | 41,150,000(2) | 22.6% |
| Charles A. Ager | Common Stock | 43,550,000(2) | 23.9% |
| (1) | Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the persons actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on the date of this Schedule 13D Statement. As of February 28, 2016 there were 181,472,875 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. | |
| (2) | The shares listed as beneficially owned by Nanominerals and Dr. Ager includes warrants to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Issuers common stock at a price of $0.40 per share expiring February 28, 2020. The sole officer and director of Nanominerals is Dr. Charles A. Ager. As such, Dr. Ager has voting and dispositive power over the 41,150,000 shares of the Issuers common stock listed as beneficially owned by Nanominerals and those shares are listed as being indirectly beneficially owned by him. Individually, Dr. Ager owns 2,100,000 shares of the Issuers common stock. Also included in the number of shares listed as being indirectly beneficially owned by Dr. Ager are 300,000 shares of the Issuers common stock owned by Dr. Agers wife. The shares owned by Dr. Ager and Mrs. Ager have not been included in the shares beneficially owned by Nanominerals. |
| (b) | Power to Vote and Dispose of the Issuer Shares: |
| Nanominerals has sole dispositive and voting power with respect to the shares of the Issuers common stock held by Nanominerals. Dr. Ager is the sole director and officer of Nanominerals. No other person has the power to direct the voting or disposition of the shares held by Nanominerals. | |
| (c) | Transactions Effected During the Past 60 Days: |
| On February 26, 2016, Nanominerals received 4,500,000 warrants in exchange for services provided by Nanominerals to the Issuer during the year ended December 31, 2015. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Issuers common stock at a price of $0.40 per share and expiring February 28, 2020. |
