Insiders including CEO Guy Peckham exchanged 31 million common shares for new Series B Preferred stock, freeing up authorized common shares so the company could keep converting outstanding convertible notes into stock; Peckham separately swapped his own $100,000 note for Series A Preferred -- capital-structure moves that set up further heavy dilution.

MineralRite agreed on March 1, 2013 to buy all the stock of Goldfield International, Inc., a Utah company the filing describes as an operating maker of gold and precious gem recovery equipment, in exchange for 2,000,000 restricted common shares.

An amendment to the earlier November 2012 report says CEO Guy Peckham personally took on $200,000 of the company's debt to Santeo Financial, pledging all his MineralRite shares as security to Santeo. It also says two share subscribers failed to complete and were rejected, so their shares go instead to five people for services: Ramazanali Almasi 2,000,000, Xiaoyan Zhang 500,000, Guy Peckham 2,000,000, Bruce Hannan 500,000 and Scarlett Nygart 2,000,000 (name spelling corrected). This continues the Santeo debt restructuring and adds 5,000,000 new shares paid for with services, which dilutes existing holders.
