Completed the buyout of Marathon Gold's stake, giving the company 100% ownership of the Golden Chest mine, funded by a $550,000 personal loan from President John Swallow at 5% interest. Separately, a lawsuit against the company by Crescent Silver, LLC was dismissed by a federal court.
One month after Juniper's exit, the company moved to buy out its joint-venture partner Marathon Gold's 52% stake in Golden Chest LLC, signing an option to acquire full ownership of the Golden Chest mine for about $200,000 plus a 2% royalty to Marathon.
Juniper Resources abruptly terminated its Golden Chest lease and halted mining, citing poor reserve economics and weak gold prices, forfeiting a $53,841 royalty prepayment and a $125,000 milling advance plus all mine infrastructure back to the company. New leadership under President John Swallow took over just as the mine's most active operator exited.
Formalized a Strategic Partnership Agreement with Juniper Resources and its affiliates (including Gold Hill Reclamation and Mining), who already leased part of the Golden Chest mine and paid the company for milling services and a smelter-return royalty. New leadership under President R. Patrick Highsmith set the stage for Golden Chest's most productive period yet.

What it means for a shareholder
6.0m new shares at US$0.200 to raise about US$1.2m. That's 6.2% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 6.2% smaller. If you held US$1,000 of shares (5,000 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00555% to 0.0052% of the company. To keep it you'd need 333 more shares - about US$67 at the issue price.
PMK Capital Advisors, Inc, Roger Kumar, Constance Miesel reported a Idaho Strategic Resources, Inc. shareholding of 4,618,990 shares (10.20% of votes) in a periodic institutional filing.
Finally sold the Silver Strand mine outright, this time to Shoshone Silver/Gold Mining Company for $1 million ($121,000 cash plus a 20% net-profits interest on the balance), succeeding where the 2008 Silverstar deal had fallen through.
