OUR PROGRAM

We are proposing a program to stake and file the appropriate mining claims in the general area of the prospect area. The Investors will participate with us in a joint venture to secure the mining claims and to maintain them until we have secured a mining company to join us in drilling and proving the claims for its lithium brine potential.

For this program we do the research and prospecting to find the best locations for lithium brine mining claims. We stake and file the mining claims on your behalf. The claims will be held by us for your benefit. You will receive a percentage of the royalty interest from the mining claims plus a percentage of the profits on any fee, sale or bonuses that may be paid for the assignments of the mining claims.

We manage all aspects of the initial staking, filing and recording the mining claims for record. We will negotiate with mining companies to drill the claims to discover what level of lithium brines may be present on the claims.

This is an opportunity to be a part of a unique exploration effort that may find another great lithium brine discovery in the U. S.

HOW MINING CLAIM ROYALTIES WORK
Royalties are one of the greatest money making systems in the world. By definition, a royalty is a share of production free and clear of the costs of production, curved out of the lessee’s (mining company or operator) interest in the production of the mining claims.

In our program you do nothing except pay for the acquisition and yearly rental fees for the mining claims. For this you receive a percentage of the income from the net proceeds paid for lithium brines mined from the claims, plus any up front bonuses. (See Contract)

Federal and State mining claims are claims on public land for mineral exploration and development. Not all public land is available for mining claims. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on behalf of the Federal government manages the filing of mining claims on public land. Mining claims also have to be filed in the county of the state where the claim is located. The county fees may vary from county to county and state to state. We handle the initial filing of the mining claims with the BLM and the counties in which they are located.

Under Federal law a mining claim is for prospecting, mining and processing operations. Mining claims are not intended for other uses and are specifically forbidden by law. The mining claims cannot be used for personal or recreational use.

The mining claims may become patentable after five years of a mining operation on petition to the U.S. government.

The federal government does not at this time charge a royalty on mining claim production as it does for oil and gas production.

In summary, the mining companies will pay a bonus to the owner of the mining claims for the right for exploration, drilling and development of the claims. This is the money you share in, plus the royalties retained on assignment of the claims to the mining company. The royalties ranges from approximately 2% to 5% depending on the desirability of the subject mining claims. All these factors are subject to negotiation with the mining company. Since we share in the proceeds we will negotiate the very best deal we can for royalties and bonuses for all Investors who join our program.

HOW YOU MAKE MONEY
You will make a percentage of the royalty payments from the net production of lithium from the claims plus a percentage of the bonuses paid for the assignment of the claims to a mining company.

Given the large volumes of production that could come from lithium brine mined the royalties can be in the millions of dollars per year. Plus, bonus payments for the assignment of mining claims are often quite substantial and usually cover all the upfront costs of staking and filing and maintaining the claims.

A SCHEDULE OF BUYING MINING CLAIMS
It is important to have a large number of mining claims as your percentage of the proceeds will depend on how many mining claims you own in proportion to all the claims we will be staking and filing and assigning as a block to a mining company.

All interest payments are in proportion to the number of mining claims you own in relationship to the mining claims sold or assigned to a mining company.

In addition to the above one time charges, you will be responsible for the yearly rental fees and any other related charges assess by the BLM. The BLM yearly rental fees are a nominal amount of approximately $175.00 per claim payable on or before September 1st of each year.

The law governing mining claims in the U.S. is the General Mining Law of 1872. The mining laws are somewhat complicated and if you have any questions please consult your attorney.

Our objective is to stake and file the mining claims and secure the services of a mining company to drill and test the claims for lithium brines. We will undertake what action we deem necessary to protect and defend our mining claims but we cannot guarantee any results or protection for the claims until we have discovery and production on the claims.

RELATED PROSPECTS TO CONSIDER
We are natural resource exploration specialists. We have a number of natural resources prospects available. Please check out the following for other investment opportunities.

Gold Discovery, LLC
Mr. Murer has pioneered the geologic theory that is the basis for what we believe could be one of the BIGGEST GOLD DEPOSITS IN THE WORLD near Goldfield, Nevada. (See www.golddiscoverynv.com)

The underlying geology of the Goldfield / Tonopah mineral zones arises from the volcanic eruptions that took place during the Miocene period (20-23 million years ago) along a ridge of mountains that contain huge mineral deposits that have been mined for many years in the region from zones of volcanic vents.

To date, the Goldfield/ Tonopah area has produced approximately 5.9 million ounces of gold, 175 million ounces of silver and 7.7 million ounces of copper. (Geologic Report)

The tremendous volumes of ascending fluids that created the bonanza of gold, silver and lithium deposits of the Goldfield and Tonopah districts would have descended down the flanks of the existing strato-volcanoes to accumulate and evaporate in the adjacent “reserve pit” formed by the Cambrian rock dam know today as the Paymaster Ridge. These fluids erupted for over one million years (USGS Bulletin Number 1646).

Geologic evidence suggests this natural basin existed at the time of the epithermal mineralization and it is not difficult to imagine the massive paleo-evaporate tabular ore concentration that may now underlie the placer accumulation. (Geologic Cross Section)

During the initial violent stages of the eruption, the potential of molten metals to be ejected from the volcanic vents would have also been likely. To date no drilling has been done to test the bottom of the ‘reserve pit’ for accumulation of metals that could contain a world class gold deposit.

Proton Uranium Corporation
Mr. Christian F. Murer pioneered the geologic theory that gave him the insight to find the original mining claims for the largest underground uranium mine in the United States, the Tony M Mine in Ticaboo, Utah. Over $200,000,000 has been spent in developing the Tony M Mine and Mr. Murer is now receiving guaranteed royalties on the uranium mined from his claims.

The same proprietary geology theories that were the basis of the discovery for the uranium mining claims for the Tony M Mine is now being applied to the staking and claiming of the next round of uranium mining claims in Utah. If you are interested in uranium mining claims please see our web site at www.ProtonUranium.com.

Universal Oil & Gas, LLC
Universal Oil & Gas, LLC is undertaking a program to offer to the general public the opportunity to participate in the acquisition of Federal Oil and Gas Leases in high prospect areas for oil and gas exploration and drilling. (See www.Universaloilleases.com).
