Soltera is an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.  Soltera’s plan of operations is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the mineral properties in order to assess whether these claims possess commercially exploitable mineral deposits.  Soltera’s
exploration program is designed to explore for commercially viable deposits of base and precious minerals, such as base, radioactive and precious metals, such as copper, zinc, molybdenum, uranium, silver and gold.  See “Business of Soltera” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations” below for more information.





Soltera has an authorized capital of 200 million shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share with 66,898,333 shares of common stock currently issued and outstanding.





Soltera has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings. There has been no material reclassification, merger consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of Soltera’s business.





(b)
Business of Soltera





Soltera is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No.7 “Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Enterprises”.  Soltera’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral
resources.  Soltera has an interest in mineral claims located in Argentina (the “Argentinean Claims”).  Soltera has not presently determined whether the properties it intends to acquire contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.





Soltera is a start-up, development-stage company, which has not generated any revenues from its mineral exploration activities.





On May 22, 2007, Soltera engaged Decoors Mining Corp. of Atlin, British Columbia to perform the Phase One exploration program on the mineral claims in Atlin, British Columbia, Canada (the “Atlin Claims”).  The Phase One exploration program on the Atlin Claims was
initiated in May 2008 and completed before June 1, 2008.  Soltera did not receive a final report from Decoors.  However, an email received on June 1, 2008 indicated that there would be issues relating to a new uranium moratorium in British Columbia as well as issues regarding any future permits for mining the claims.  Accordingly, on June 1, 2008 Soltera allowed the Atlin Claims to lapse and they were forfeited on June 1, 2008.  Soltera will not conduct any further exploration
on these mineral claims.





In September 2007, Soltera, through Incas, began an exploration program on the El Torno Project and has completed a strategic geochemical prospecting and a structural geologic survey of the mineralized area.





During the ensuing 12 months, Soltera continued the exploration program on the El Torno Project with tactical geochemical prospecting, and another structural geological survey phase.  With the goal of generating cash flow, over the next 12 months Soltera will attempt to exploit a part of the alluvial part of the El Torno deposit:
this deposit has already been exploited by private entities up until April 2007 with good economic results.  Soltera could start this exploitation of the existing alluvial deposit by paying US$500,000 every 6 months until the total payment of the mining rights, but Soltera is currently trying to negotiate with the titleholder to agree on a less expensive agreement.   Soltera will continue to identify and assess new projects for acquisition purposes, but will focus on exploring and adding
value to the project interests already acquired.  For example, management has undertaken efforts to locate a joint venture partner for Phase 2 of the mineral exploration program on the El Torno Project, which is part of the Argentinean Claims.





Property Interests





The following is a summary of Soltera’s principal property interests, segregated by the operations on Soltera’s claims.





None of Soltera’s assets or mineral properties are currently in production or contain a reserves.





A.  Zapaleri Project – Argentinean Property





On July 6, 2007, Incas entered into an option agreement with Antonio Agustin Giulianotti.  The option agreement covers one mineral claim in Argentina covering 6,395 hectares (15,802 acres) (the “Zapaleri Project”).  There is a legal dispute that affects
Incas’ rights on this claim that has to be resolved by the Mining Chamber of the Jujuy Province.  As a result of the legal dispute and until it is resolved, Incas is not required to commence any work or expense on this project.  After the resolution of the legal dispute, if positive, Incas will have the exclusive right to explore the mineral claims with an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Zapaleri Project upon fulfilling the following conditions:





Page - 4


a.
During the term of the option, Incas is obliged to submit to Mr. Giulianotti a quarterly report with technical data and detailed expenses on the Zapaleri Project.





b.
Mr. Giulianotti will be entitled to 1% of the Foundry Net Return, which can be purchased by Incas for $1 million anytime after production commences on the Zapaleri Project.





c.
After commencement of production on the Zapaleri Project, Incas will pay Mr. Giulianotti a total of $3.5 million, less any payments made by Incas during the option period which can be a maximum of five years.  Incas can choose one of the following payment plans:





i.
one lump sum payment; or





ii.
$500,000 every six months plus a penalty payment of $350,000.





d.
On or before June 30, 2008, Incas was required to pay Mr. Giulianotti $20,000.  This payment has not yet been made and has been postponed indefinitely until the legal dispute that affects Incas’ rights on this claim has been resolved by the Mining Chamber of the Jujuy Province.





e.
On or before June 30, 2009, Incas was required to pay Mr. Giulianotti $40,000.  This payment has not yet been made either and also has been postponed indefinitely until the legal dispute that affects Incas’ rights on this claim has been resolved by the Mining Chamber of the Jujuy Province.





f.
On or before June 30, 2010, Incas will pay Mr. Giulianotti $80,000.





g.
On or before July 6, 2010, Incas will make an investment of $1 million in the exploration of the Zapaleri Project.





h.
From June 30, 2011, and until the Zapaleri Project is put into production, Incas will pay Mr. Giulianotti $100,000 biannually, with the first payment due on or before June 30, 2011.





See Exhibit 10.7 - Second Option Agreement for more details.





Location and Access





The Zapaleri Project is located in the Andean Cordillera in the extreme north-west of Argentina and is about 100 miles in proximity to the El Torno Project.





Access to the Zapaleri Project is difficult as the area is between 4,000 and 5,500 metres (13,123 and 18,044 feet) in the high Cordillera and there is not a consolidated road.  The location is near the tripoint of Cerro Zapaleri where Argentina has a joint boundary with Bolivia and Chile.





Climate and Geomorphology





As there is no well maintained road to the Zapaleri Project, it can be reached between November and April since in other periods snow is abundant.





The morphology of the area is the typical highland Cordillera with big volcanic cone.





Geology and Mineralization





The area is covered by volcanic tertiary and quaternary formations with a strong ferric alteration detectable from satellite images.  The target could be an epi- or meso-thermal gold mineralization.





Page - 5


B.  El Torno Project – Argentinean Property





On July 6, 2007, Incas entered into an option agreement with Manuel Bernal Mateo.  The option agreement now covers five mineral claims in Argentina covering 7,863.24 hectares (19,430 acres) (the “El Torno Project”).  In October 2007, Incas conducted and
completed a geological and mining inspection and audit of the El Torno Project.  As a result of the inspection and audit, Incas was able to confirm the size of the other two mineral claims.  In the First Option Agreement the other two mineral claims are listed but there was no area coverage assigned to them.  These changes resulted in the El Torno Project being increased from 3,947 hectares to 7,863.24 hectares for the following mineral claims:  Mina Manolo (600 hectares),
Mina La Despreciada (3,328.53 hectares), Mina El Torno Norte (2,385.43 hectares), Mina El Torno Sur (1,519.28 hectares), and Mina La Palca (30 hectares).





Incas has the exclusive right to explore the mineral claims with an option to acquire a 100% interest in the El Torno Project upon fulfilling the following conditions:





a.
During the term of the option, Incas is obliged to submit to Mr. Mateo a quarterly report with technical data and detailed expenses on the El Torno Project.





b.
Mr. Mateo will be entitled to 1% of the Foundry Net Return, which can be purchased by Incas for $1 million anytime after production commences on the El Torno Project.





c.
After commencement of production on the El Torno Project, Incas will pay Mr. Mateo a total of $3.5 million, less any payments made by Incas during the option period.  Incas can choose one of the following payment plans:





iii.
one lump sum payment; or





iv.
$500,000 every six months plus a penalty payment of $350,000.





d.
On July 30, 2007, Incas was to lend either Mr. Mateo or Mr. Giulianotti $180,000 to be used to purchase a backhoe to be used in the exploration of the alluvial bed.  The borrower was to repay the loan with $10,000 monthly payments commencing on December 1, 2007.  Mr. Mateo has signed a special power of attorney with Mr. Giulianotti.  The
$180,000 loan was transferred to the borrower in July 2007.  However, the borrower returned the funds in August 2007 due to a 30% withholding by the Argentinean government.  On September 25, 2008, Soltera delivered the $180,000 to Mr. Giulianotti to be used to purchase the backhoe to be used in the exploration of the alluvial bed.  The borrower was to repay the loan with $10,000 monthly payments commencing on December 1, 2007.  Such payments have not been made to date,
instead $150,000 of this amount was used to offset payments due to Mr. Giulianotti as per the Option Agreement for El Torno, and $10,000 of this amount was used to offset payments Mr. Giulianotti made on Inca’s behalf for annual rental fee for the existing campsite on El Torno.  If Mr. Giulianotti does not make the future payments of US$20,000, Soltera will deduct any overdue payments from any amounts that Soltera will owe Mr. Giulianotti in the future.  See below and Exhibit 10.9 –
Loan Agreement for more details.





e.
On or before June 30, 2008, Incas was to pay Mr. Mateo $50,000. This payment was offset by $50,000 of the loan payments due to Incas from the borrower.





f.
On or before July 6, 2008, Incas was to conduct a geological and mining inspection and audit of the El Torno Project.  In October 2007, Incas conducted and completed a geological and mining inspection and audit of the El Torno Project.





g.
On or before June 30, 2009, Incas was to pay Mr. Mateo $100,000. This payment has been offset by $100,000 of the loan payments due to Incas from Mr. Mateo.





h.
On or before June 30, 2010, Incas shall pay Mr. Mateo $200,000.





i.
On or before December 30, 2010, Incas will make an investment of $1 million in the exploration of the El Torno Project.





j.
From June 30, 2011, and until the El Torno Project is put into production, Incas will pay Mr. Mateo $150,000 half-yearly, with the first payment due on or before June 30, 2011.





See Exhibit 10.6 - First Renegotiated Option Agreement for more details.

Location and Access




The El Torno Project is also located in the Andean Cordillera in the extreme north-west of Argentina in the Puna Jujeña, Jujuy Province of Argentina, near the international border with Bolivia. The region is at altitudes around 4,000 metres (13,123 feet) and the nearest permanent habitation is the village of Santa Catalina about 15 kilometres
(9.5 miles) to the east.





The infrastructure on the El Torno Project comprises electricity 20 kilometres (12.5 miles) away (at the village of Santa Catalina) and a road passable all year by cars and trucks.  Water is abundant in a river cutting through the main vein on the El Torno Project and from a very large river at the border with Bolivia 12 kilometres
(7.5 miles) away.





Climate and Geomorphology





The area is at an elevation between 3,800 and 4,300 metres (12,467 and 14,107 feet), but the latitude over the Tropic of Capricorn determines a good climate, without snow and with rain concentrated in the summer season.  The winter is gentle and exploration work is possible the entire year.





The morphology of the area is also gentle as deep slopes and steep mountains are absent.  For this reason the access road to the El Torno Project does not need much maintenance.





Geology and Mineralization





On the El Torno Project, there is an old mine, exploited by Incas and Jesuits, with more than 1,000 metres (3,280 feet) of galleries.  Since January 2006, the owner of the El Torno Project has been exploiting the alluvial part of the deposit that has a thickness of 2 - 3 metres (6.5 – 9.8 feet) and an alluvial conoid close
to the main vein with a maximum thickness of 8 metres (26 feet).  The deposit is composed of a large quartz vein, sub-vertical, running North-South, approximately 14 kilometres (8.7 miles) long, 9 to 14 metres (46 feet) wide, and made up of a stock-work system of narrow quartz veins around the principal quartz vein. This system has a length of approximately 2 kilometres (1.24 miles), running in two principal directions: 100-130° and 0 – 20°.  The El Torno Project was investigated
by Puma Minerals in 1997 and by Peñoles between August and December 1999.  Puma Minerals had conducted more than 2,100 metres (6,890 feet) of drilling in 16 holes.  Following the Puma Minerals exploration work, Peñoles, conducted in trenches grab samples, a detailed geologic survey, and geophysical prospecting by IP methods.  In a second stage, Peñoles carried out an estimation of the main structure cut by the drills of Puma in an extension of 1.3 kilometres (0.8 miles).  In
the only three geophysical profiles performed by Peñoles on the first 1.3 kilometres (0.8 miles) it was also observed the presence of a cloak-type structure with moderate to high chargeability, located between the 50 and 125 metres (164 and 410 feet) of depth which had not been revealed earlier by the Puma Minerals drills.





C.  Eureka Project – Argentinean Property







In March 2007, Soltera secured an option to acquire 100% of the Eureka Claims from the title owner, Senor Antonio Guilianotti, for various rental payments and work commitments pursuant to the terms and conditions of an option agreement. TNR Gold Corp. ("TNR"), a Canadian mining company listed on the TSX with extensive experience in Argentina,
was a party to the option agreement and TNR could acquire a 75% interest in the property by spending a total of US$3,000,000 in exploration and option payments before April 20, 2010 pursuant to the terms and conditions of the option agreement.






During 2007 and 2008, TNR carried out sampling programs on the Eureka Claims together with strategic and tactical geochemical prospecting surveys and a geophysical survey. TNR also commissioned a sedimentological-stratigraphic study to guide the exploration and completed an NI-43-101 report.






On April 1, 2009, the three parties agreed to amend the option agreement in view of the current economic climate. In effect, TNR will pay a rental fee of US$5,000 per month until December 2009 and will cover any expenses required to keep the Eureka Claims in good standing. In December 2009, TNR can leave the joint venture or renegotiate the
terms of the original agreement. The underlying agreement between Soltera and the title owner remains unchanged, so if TNR decides to leave or if Soltera decides to invest alone or with other joint-venture partners, the project reverts 100% to Soltera who can then invest directly or with another joint-venture partner.  See Exhibit 10.18 for more details.

Location and Access





The Eureka Project is also located in the Andean Cordillera in the extreme north-west of Argentina in the Puna Jujeña, Jujuy Province of Argentina, near the international border with Bolivia and only 3 km from the El Torno Project. The region is at altitudes around 4,000 metres (13,123 feet) and the nearest permanent habitation is the
village of Santa Catalina village about 30 kilometres (19 miles) to the east. The infrastructure on the Eureka Project includes access to electricity generated 30 kilometres (19 miles) away (from the village of Santa Catalina) and a road passable all the year by trucks. Water is abundant in the very large river at the border of Bolivia 15 kilometres (9.5 miles) away.





Climate and Geomorphology





The area is reaches an elevation  between 3,800 and 4,300 metres (12,467 and 14,107 feet), although the latitude, being near the Tropic of Capricorn,  provides for  a good climate, without snow in the gentle winter , There is the rainy season  concentrated in the summer. It is possible to perform exploratory
work over the entire year.





The morphology of the area is gently sloping, and thus the access road to the Eureka Project does not require much maintenance.

On the Eureka Project, there is an old mine, exploited from Incas and Jesuits, with more than 5,000 metres of galleries.  The property contains ‘Red Bed’ type strata-bound copper mineralization within sedimentary sandstones, clays and conglomerates.  The surface exposures are weathered and contain erratically distributed
gold.  Alluvial gold has been worked in the area since prior to the time of the Spanish arrival and there is an old mine with over 5 km of underground workings that exploited copper and gold on a small scale until 1987. The deposit is similar in style to major copper deposits in the Bolivian part of the Tertiary Belt.  The Eureka Project was investigated by Peñoles between August 1999 and January 2001.Peñoles conducted trenches, grab samples, detailed geologic survey and geophysical prospecting
by IP methods.  The geological estimate, following this exploration work (non-NI43-101 compliant), was 50 to 60 million tons grading 1% copper.  Only 70 meters of the 450 m deep formation has been explored to date which leaves extensive upside potential. As per the option agreement, TNR has conducted exploration works on the Eureka property from September 2007 until April 2008. TNR has performed two geochemical studies, a sedimentological survey, and geophysical study. The results of this
exploration work has still to be communicated by TNR.





D.  Mexican Claims





On September 25, 2007, Mr. Montanari incorporated a company in Mexico named “Atzek Mineral SA de CV” (“Atzek”).  See Exhibit 3.5 – Licence and Exhibit 3.6 - Articles of Incorporation for more
details.





Atzek is a majority-owned subsidiary of Soltera with Soltera the beneficial owner of 99.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Atzek.  The one other share issued is held by Incas Mineral S.A. the Argentinean subsidiary of Soltera.   Currently, Mr. Montanari is the sole manager of Atzek.





The sole assets of Atzek were two mineral property exploration and option agreements.  In view of the current economic downturn, Soltera has decided to drop its two Mexican projects from its portfolio in order to concentrate all efforts and resources exclusively on its two Argentinean projects.





On July 2, 2009, Soltera relinquished its exploration options on the Casita Colorada Gold Project and the Real de Cananea Gold Project.  The respective title owners have been notified and informed that the exploration options are to be cancelled and no further option payments will be made.  Specifically, the option payment of
US$100,000 for each of these projects, which was due on July 2, 2009 for the Real de Cananea Project and on March 12, 2009 for Casita Colorada Project, is no longer required to be made.





See Exhibit 10.16 - Cananea Exploration Agreement with an Option to Purchase and Exhibit 10.17 - Colorada Exploration Agreement with an Option to Purchase for more details

E.  Albanian Joint Venture





Soltera, together with two Albanian companies, ENER-ALB PROJECTS sh.p.k. and ELITE MINE sh.a., formed a new joint venture company named the Albanian Mines Company sh.a. (the “Albanian Joint Venture Company”) to tender for the rights to mineral properties in Albania.  The
Albanian Joint Venture Company was formed on October 17, 2008 and came into existence upon the Albanian Joint Venture Company’s Act of Incorporation being filed with and acceptance by the Albanian Register.  See Exhibit 3.8 – Act of Incorporation for more details.





The shareholdings of the Albanian Joint Venture Company are divided in the ratio: ENER-ALB PROJECTS sh.p.k. 37.5%, ELITE MINE sh.a. 37.5%, and Soltera Mining Corp. 25%.





The first members of the Board of the Albanian Joint Venture Company are Fabio Montanari, Ardi Kollcaku, Bashkim Ulaj, and Isli Sula.  The President of the Board is Bashkim Ulaj.  The Administrator of the Albanian Joint Venture Company has been  Fabio Montanari.  The Administrator is responsible for
the day-to-day affairs of the Albanian Joint Venture Company, subject to the limitations provided under Articles of Association, any agreements between shareholders, and applicable law.  The Administrator is appointed for a term of three years.





As the tender over the initial project of interest was not successful, Fabio Montanari resigned from the charge of Administrator on the 28 May 2009. Soltera intends to consider future tender opportunities through this Albanian Joint Venture Company.





F.  Atlin Claims – Canadian Property





On May 22, 2007, Soltera engaged Decoors Mining Corp. of Atlin, British Columbia to perform the Phase One exploration program on the mineral claims in Atlin, British Columbia, Canada (the “Atlin Claims”).  The Phase One exploration program on the Atlin Claims was
initiated in May 2008 and completed before June 1, 2008.  Soltera did not receive a final report from Decoors.  However, an email from Decoors received on June 1, 2008 indicated that there would be issues relating to a new uranium moratorium in British Columbia as well as issues regarding any future permits for mining the claims.  Accordingly, on June 1, 2008 Soltera allowed the Atlin Claims to lapse and they were forfeited on June 1, 2008.  Soltera will not conduct any
further exploration on these mineral claims.





Competitive Conditions and Position





The mineral exploration business is an extremely competitive industry.  Soltera is competing with many other companies exploring for minerals.  Soltera is one of the smallest exploration companies and a very small participant in the mineral exploration business.  Being a junior mineral exploration company, Soltera
competes with other companies for financing and joint venture partners.  Additionally, Soltera competes for resources such as professional geologists, camp staff, helicopters and mineral exploration supplies.





Raw Materials





For the Argentinean Claims, the raw materials for Soltera’s exploration program will be items including camp equipment, hand exploration tools, sample bags, first aid supplies, groceries and propane.  All of these types of materials are readily available in either the city of Santa Catalina (15 kilometres (9.3 miles) from the
mineral claims), La Quiaca (80 kilometres (50 miles) from the mineral claims), Vilazon (Bolivia) (80 kilometres (50 miles) from the mineral claims), San Salvador de Jujuy (380 kilometres (236 miles) from the mineral claims) or in Salta (430 kilometres (267 miles) from the mineral claims) from a variety of suppliers for the El Torno, Eureka and Zapaleri Projects.





For the Mexican Claims, the raw materials for Soltera’s exploration program will be items including camp equipment, hand exploration tools, sample bags, first aid supplies, groceries and propane.  All of these types of materials are readily available in the city of Hermosillo (40 kilometres from Casita Colorada claims and 300
kilometres from Real de Cananea claims).





Dependence on Major Customers





Soltera has no customers.

Patents/Trade Marks/Licences/Franchises/Concessions/Royalty Agreements or Labour Contracts





Soltera has no intellectual property such as patents or trademarks.  Additionally, Soltera has no royalty agreements or labor contracts.





Government Controls and Regulations





For the Argentinean Claims, Soltera, through its subsidiary Incas Mineral, will be required to abide by laws regulated by the Mining Chamber of the Jujuy Province of Argentina. Soltera has already conducted an environmental impact study on the El Torno Claims.





The effect of these existing regulations on the business is that Soltera is able to carry out its exploration program as planned. However, it is possible that a future government could change the regulations that could limit Soltera’s ability to explore its claims, but management believes this is highly unlikely.





Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws





Soltera currently has no costs to comply with environmental laws concerning its exploration programs.





Expenditures on Research and Development During the Last Two Fiscal Years





Soltera has not incurred any research or development expenditures since its inception on September 21, 2005.





Number of Total Employees and Number of Full Time Employees





Soltera does not have any employees other than Fabio Montanari and Nadwynn Sing, the directors and officers of Soltera.  Soltera intends to retain the services of independent geologists, prospectors and consultants on a contract basis to conduct the exploration programs on Soltera’s mineral claims starting in September of 2009,
and as required throughout the course of the exploration program.  The funds that will be used to pay for the independent geologist, prospectors and consultants will be the funds that already exist in the corporate treasury and from funds that Soltera will raise in the near future.

(d)  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities





There have been no sales of unregistered securities within the last three years that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 701 of Regulation S-K, with the exception of the following:





March 2007 - $1.00 Private Placement Offering





On March 29, 2007, the board of directors authorized the issuance of 600,000 (100,000 pre-split) restricted shares of common stock at a subscription price of $0.17 ($1.00 pre-split) per restricted share.  Soltera raised $100,000 in cash in this closing, and issued an aggregate 600,000 (100,000 pre-split) restricted shares of common
stock to two non-US subscribers outside the United States.  Soltera set the value of the restricted shares arbitrarily without reference to its assets, book value, revenues or other established criteria of value.  All the restricted shares issued in this offering were issued for investment purposes in a “private transaction”.





Page - 11


For the two non-US subscribers outside the United States in these two closings, Soltera relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 903 of Regulation S promulgated pursuant to that Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Management is satisfied that Soltera complied with the requirements of the exemption
from the registration and prospectus delivery of the Securities Act of 1933.  The offering was not a public offering and was not accompanied by any general advertisement or any general solicitation.  Soltera received from each subscriber a completed and signed subscription agreement containing certain representations and warranties, including, among others, that (a) the subscriber was not a U.S. person, (b) the subscriber subscribed for the shares for their own investment account and not on
behalf of a U.S. person, and (c) there was no prearrangement for the sale of the shares with any buyer.  No offer was made or accepted in the United States and the share certificates representing the shares were issued bearing a legend with the applicable trading restrictions.





April 2007 - Stock dividend





On April 4, 2007, the board of directors of Soltera declared a stock dividend on its outstanding shares of common stock.  For every share that a shareholder owned on April 17, 2007, that shareholder received an additional five (5) shares on April 23, 2007.  On April 24, 2007, the stock dividend was ex-dividend and Soltera’s
trading price was adjusted accordingly.  The stock dividend resulted in an increase of the Soltera’s issued and outstanding share capital from 6,727,500 shares of common stock to 40,365,000 shares of common stock.





June 2007 - $0.40 Private Placement Unit Offering





On June 25, 2007, the board of directors authorized the issuance of 1,000,000 restricted units at a subscription price of $0.40 per restricted unit.  Each restricted unit consisted of one restricted shares of common stock in the capital of Soltera and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase warrant.  Each restricted
whole warrant enabled the holder to purchase one additional restricted share of common stock in the capital of Soltera at a price of $0.55 per restricted warrant for a period of two years.





This offering closed on June 28, 2007 and Soltera raised $400,000 in cash and issued an aggregate 1,000,000 restricted units to one non-US subscriber outside the United States.





For the one non-US subscriber outside the United States in this one closing, Soltera relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 903 of Regulation S promulgated pursuant to that Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The value of the restricted units was arbitrarily set by Soltera and had no relationship
to its assets, book value, revenues or other established criteria of value.  All the restricted common shares issued in this offering were issued for investment purposes in a “private transaction”.  Management is satisfied that Soltera complied with the requirements of the exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery of the Securities Act of 1933.  The offering was not a public offering and was not accompanied by any general advertisement or any general solicitation.  Soltera
received from the subscriber a completed and signed subscription agreement containing certain representations and warranties, including, among others, that (a) the subscriber was not a U.S. person, (b) the subscriber subscribed for the shares and warrants for their own investment account and not on behalf of a U.S. person, and (c) there was no prearrangement for the sale of the shares or warrants with any buyer.  No offer was made or accepted in the United States and the share certificates representing
the shares were issued bearing a legend with the applicable trading restrictions.





July 2007 - $0.50 Private Placement Unit Offering





On July 16, 2007, the board of directors authorized the issuance of 1,200,000 restricted units at a subscription price of $0.50 per restricted unit.  Each restricted unit consisted of one restricted shares of common stock in the capital of Soltera and one-half of a non-transferable share purchase warrant.  Each restricted
whole warrant enabled the holder to purchase one additional restricted share of common stock in the capital of Soltera at a price of $0.75 per restricted warrant for a period of two years.





This offering closed on July 25, 2007 and Soltera raised $600,000 in cash and issued an aggregate 1,200,000 restricted units to one non-US subscriber outside the United States.





For the one non-US subscriber outside the United States in this one closing, Soltera relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 903 of Regulation S promulgated pursuant to that Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The value of the restricted units was arbitrarily set by Soltera and had no relationship
to its assets, book value, revenues or other established criteria of value.  All the restricted common shares issued in this offering were issued for investment purposes in a “private transaction”.  Management is satisfied that Soltera complied with the requirements of the exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery of the Securities Act of 1933.  The offering was not a public offering and was not accompanied by any general advertisement or any general solicitation.  Soltera
received from the subscriber a completed and signed subscription agreement containing certain representations and warranties, including, among others, that (a) the subscriber was not a U.S. person, (b) the subscriber subscribed for the shares and warrants for their own investment account and not on behalf of a U.S. person, and (c) there was no prearrangement for the sale of the shares or warrants with any buyer.  No offer was made or accepted in the United States and the share certificates representing
the shares were issued bearing a legend with the applicable trading restrictions.

February 2008 - Assignment Agreement and Stock Acquisition Agreement





During the quarter of the fiscal year covered by this report, Soltera issued (a) 8,000,000 restricted shares of common stock in the capital of Soltera pursuant to the terms and conditions of an assignment agreement dated February 29, 2008, and (b) 16,000,000 restricted shares of common stock in the capital of Soltera pursuant to the terms
and conditions of a stock acquisition agreement dated February 29, 2008.  The aggregate 24 million restricted shares were issued on March 5, 2008.  See Exhibit 10.13 – Assignment Agreement, Exhibit 10.15 – Stock Acquisition Agreement and Soltera’s Form 8-K (Current Report) filed on March 10, 2008 for more details.





For these two share issuances, Soltera relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 903 of Regulation S promulgated pursuant to that Act by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The value of the restricted shares was arbitrarily set by Soltera and had no relationship to its assets, book value, revenues or other
established criteria of value.





There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, shares of Soltera’s common stock.





(e)
Penny Stock Rules





The SEC has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks.  Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system provided that current price and
volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).





The shares of Soltera will remain penny stock for the foreseeable future.  The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment.  Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser
for the purpose of selling his or her shares in Soltera will be subject to rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Exchange Act.  Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.





The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which:





·
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;


·
contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements;


·
contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;


·
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;


·
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and


·
contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format) as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.





The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer:





·
with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;


·
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;


·
the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and


·
monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.





In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure
statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.  These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for Soltera’s stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules.  Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

Item 6.  Selected Financial Data.





Soltera is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.





Item 7.                      Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.





THE FOLLOWING PRESENTATION OF THE PLAN OF OPERATION OF SOLTERA MINING CORP. SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION INCLUDED HEREIN.





Overview





Soltera was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 21, 2005 and on May 30, 2007 changed its name from “Atlin Mineral Exploration Corp.” to “Soltera Mining Corp.”





Soltera is an exploration stage company.  Soltera’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.  Soltera has not presently determined whether its mineral claims contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.





Management has decided to expand Soltera’s focus and identify and assess new projects for acquisition purposes that are more global in nature.  Management will continue to focus on exploring and adding value to the project interests already acquired but will also now focus on new projects on an international level.





Argentina





On July 24, 2007, Soltera agreed to acquire all of the shares of Incas Mineral, S.A. (“Incas”) from the sole shareholder of Incas, Fabio Montanari, for the purchase price of $1,500, which represents the costs for incorporating and organizing Incas in the jurisdiction of Argentina.





Incas has two agreements to explore and an option to purchase two projects in the province of Jujuy, Argentina. The first project is called the “El Torno Project” and the second project is called the “Zapaleri Project”.  Soltera is currently focusing its efforts on the El Torno Project.





The El Torno Project is located in the Andean Cordillera in the extreme north-west of Argentina near the international border with Bolivia. The region is at altitudes around 4,000 metres (13,123 feet) and the nearest permanent habitation is the village of Santa Catalina village about 20 kilometres (12.5 miles) to the east.





The El Torno option agreement, between Manuel Bernal Mateo and Incas, is dated July 6, 2007 and covers five mineral claims in Argentina covering 7,863.24 hectares (19,430 acres).  Incas has the exclusive right to explore the El Torno Project with an option to acquire a 100% interest in the properties upon fulfilling certain conditions.  Currently,
this option agreement is in good standing.  See “Item 1. Description of Business - (b) Business of Soltera” above for more information.





The Zapaleri Project is also located in the Andean Cordillera in the extreme north-west of Argentina and is about 100 miles in proximity to El Torno.





The Zapaleri option agreement, between Antonio Agustin Giulianotti and Incas, is dated July 6, 2007 and covers one mineral claim in Argentina covering 6,395 hectares (15,802 acres).  Incas has the exclusive right to explore the mineral claims with an option to acquire a 100% interest in the mineral claim upon fulfilling certain conditions.  Currently,
this option agreement is in good standing.  See “Item 1. Description of Business (b) Business of Soltera” above for more information.





Soltera is aware of a potential claim dispute on the Zapaleri Project.  However, management believes that Soltera’s ownership rights are in good standing.  If Soltera’s ownership rights are lost, Soltera will promptly file a Form 8-K with the SEC disclosing the loss of the ownership rights.





Page - 14


Also, on February 29, 2008, Soltera acquired a 25% interest in certain mineral property in Argentina (the “Eureka Claims”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of an option agreement dated March 21, 2007 among TNR Gold
Corp., Antonio Agustin Giulianotti, and Mr. Montanari (the “Eureka Option Agreement”).  Currently, this option agreement is in good standing.  See Exhibit 10.13 – Assignment Agreement and Exhibit 10.14 – Option Agreement for more details.




On April 1 2009 Soltera renegotiated the option agreement with TNR Gold Corp and with the titleholder Antonio Agustin Giulianotti. See Exhibit 10.18 and following this agreement the Eureka contract will be maintained in good standing until the 19 December from TNR that will pay the acquisition option rate to the titleholder. After TNR can
renegotiate the contract or live it to Soltera.





The Eureka Claims are located in the Andean Cordillera in the extreme north-west of Argentina near the international border with Bolivia.  The region is at altitudes around 4,000 metres (13,123 feet) and the nearest permanent habitation is the village of Santa Catalina village about 30 kilometres (19 miles) to the east.





Mexico





Pursuant to the terms and conditions of a stock acquisition agreement dated February 29, 2008 between Soltera and Fabio Montanari, Soltera’s CEO and president, Soltera has agreed to acquire all of the shares of Atzek Mineral SA de CV (“Atzek”).





Atzek is a majority-owned subsidiary of Soltera with Soltera the beneficial owner of 99.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of Atzek.  The one other share issued is held by Incas Mineral S.A. the Argentinean subsidiary of Soltera.





The sole assets of Atzek were two mineral property exploration and option agreements.  On July 2, 2009, Soltera relinquished its exploration options on the Casita Colorada Gold Project and the Real de Cananea Gold Project in Mexico.





Albania





Soltera, together with two Albanian companies, ENER-ALB PROJECTS sh.p.k. and ELITE MINE sh.a., formed a new joint venture company named the Albanian Mines Company sh.a. to tender for the rights to mineral properties in Albania.  As the initial tender was not successful, Fabio Montanari resigned from the charge of Administrator on
the 28 May 2009. Soltera has not undertaken any expense for this joint-venture and will not do so in the future unless and until a successful tender.  Albanian Mines Company sh.a. intends to participate in future tender opportunities for mines and/or exploration projects in Albania.





Plan of Operation





Argentina Exploration Plan





Soltera’s subsidiary Incas Mineral, S.A., has completed its first and second phase exploration plan for the El Torno Project but has not started to explore the Zapaleri Project as the administrative situation is still to be resolved.  All acquisition option payments required to secure the El Torno Project up to 30th June
2010 have been successfully covered. Over the next 12 months management intends to put into limited gold production the alluvial part of the El Torno deposit in order to generate short-term cash flow, as well as to proceed with the third exploration phase of the project with the long-term goal of industrial-level exploitation. Management also intends to keep the two option agreements in good standing by complying with the terms of the option agreements.





On 1 April 2009, Soltera renegotiated and signed the agreement with TNR Gold Corp. in order to secure the Eureka Project joint venture until the 19th December 2009 through scheduled TNR payments.  This renegotiated agreement gives Soltera the right to
invest directly into the Eureka Project. TNR produced new good results through its exploration works done on the project, and now Soltera can use this data to find another joint-venture partner, or to raise funds to invest directly into the project. Eureka is only 3 km away from El Torno and management believes that the two project could be explored jointly in a substantially economy way.





Albania Exploration Plan





As the initial tender was not successful, there is no Albanian exploration plan.

Risk Factors





An investment in Soltera’s common stock involves a number of very significant risks.  Prospective investors should refer to all the risk factors disclosed in Soltera’s Form SB-2/A filed on March 10, 2006 and Soltera’s Form 10-KSB filed on February 21, 2008.





Financial Condition





As at October 31, 2008, Soltera had a cash balance of $62,906.  With the acquisition of Incas and the Argentinean Claims and the acquisition of Atzek and the Mexican Claims, Soltera will need to make strategic decisions on how to deploy its funds.  Soltera’s current focus is on the El Torno Project.  Soltera
has not suffered from Argentinean and Mexican Peso purchasing power due to the decline of the United States dollar as the Argentinean and Mexican Pesos have been subsequently more devaluated.





During the next 12 months, management plans to try generating revenue from the semi-artisanal exploitation of the El Torno project. To do so, additional funds are required. The additional funding will come from equity financing from the sale of Soltera’s common stock or sale of part of Soltera’s interest in its mineral claims.  If
management is successful in completing an equity financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in Soltera.  Soltera does not have any financing arranged and cannot provide investors with any assurance that management will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of Soltera common stock to fund further exploration or exploitation of the Argentinean Claims.  In the absence of such financing, Soltera’s business will fail.





Soltera may consider entering into a joint venture partnership by linking with a more senior mining company to provide the required funding to its exploration programs.  Management has undertaken some initial steps to seek a joint venture partner for further financing.  If Soltera enters into a joint venture arrangement,
Soltera will assign a percentage of its interest in the mineral claims to the joint venture partner.





Based on the nature of Soltera’s business, Soltera anticipates incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future.  Soltera bases this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mineral claims in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines.  Future financial results are also
uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside Soltera’s control.  These factors include, but are not limited to:





·
management’s ability to raise additional funding;


·
the market price for ore;


·
the results of the proposed exploration programs on the mineral property; and


·
management’s ability to find joint venture partners for the development of Soltera’s property interests




Due to Soltera’s lack of operating history and present inability to generate revenues, Soltera’s auditors have stated their opinion that there currently exists a substantial doubt about Soltera’s ability to continue as a going concern. Even if Soltera completes the current exploration program, and it is successful in identifying
a mineral deposit, Soltera will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before Soltera will know if it has a commercially viable mineral deposit or reserve.





Accounting and Audit Plan





Management intends to continue to have Soltera’s outside consultant assist in the preparation of its quarterly and annual financial statements and have these financial statements reviewed or audited by its independent auditor.  Soltera’s outside consultant is expected to charge Soltera approximately $5,000 to prepare
its quarterly financial statements and approximately $15,000 to prepare its annual financial statements.  Soltera’s independent auditor is expected to charge approximately $6,000 to review its quarterly financial statements and approximately $17,000 to audit its annual financial statements.  In the next 12 months, management anticipates spending approximately $65,000 to pay for Soltera’s accounting and audit requirements.





Legal Expense Plan





Management expects to incur legal costs of approximately $5,000 per quarter to support three quarterly 10-Q filings and $10,000 to support one annual 10-K filing.  In the next 12 months, management anticipates spending approximately $25,000 for legal costs to pay for three quarterly filings and one annual filing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources





Soltera had working capital of $141,848 as of October 31, 2008, compared with $824,760 as of October 31, 2007.





There are no assurances that Soltera will be able to achieve further sales of its shares of common stock or any other form of additional financing.  If Soltera is unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue its plan of operations, Soltera will not be able to continue its exploration of its properties and its business will
fail.





Management estimates that Soltera’s current cash will not be sufficient to fully finance its operations at current and planned levels through January 31, 2010.  Management intends to manage Soltera’s expenses and payments to preserve cash until Soltera is profitable, otherwise additional financing must be arranged.  Specifically,
such cash management actions include donation of rent and services by Soltera’s directors and officers. To date the president has personally covered a portion of the expenses of Soltera for travel and other costs in Argentina. If and when Soltera raises the needed funds, the president will be reimbursed for these expenses.





Net Cash Used in Operating Activities





Soltera had cash of $62,906 and working capital of $141,848 at October 31, 2008.





During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, Soltera used $539,261 in cash for operating activities compared with $223,322 for the previous fiscal year.  This was primarily a result of an operating loss of $2,121,391, adjusted by $1,484,013 for impairment of mineral property costs, $21,929 for provisions for other receivables,
$2,250 for donated rent, and $1,627 for amortization, all of which was offset by an increase of $2,198 in prepaid expenses, an increase of $13,087 in other receivables, an increase of $23,551 in accounts payable, and an increase of $60,687 in amounts due to related party.





Net Cash Used In Investing Activities





Net cash used in investing activities decreased to $182,403 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 as compared with $183,343 for the previous fiscal year.





Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities





Net cash provided by financing activities decreased to $48,750 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008 as compared with $1,098,700 for the previous fiscal year, resulting solely from the issuance of common stock for cash proceeds.





Results of Operation for the Period Ended August 31, 2008





Soltera has had no operating revenues since its inception on September 21, 2005, through to October 31, 2007.  Soltera’s activities have been financed from the proceeds of share subscriptions.  Since inception, on September 21, 2005, to October 31, 2007, Soltera raised a total of $1,201,000 from private offerings
of its shares of common stock.







References to the discussion below to fiscal 2008 are to Soltera’s fiscal year ended on October 31, 2008.  References to fiscal 2007 are to Soltera’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2007.

Professional Fees





Professional expenses included legal, accounting and auditing expenses associated with Soltera’s corporate organization, the preparation of Soltera’s financial statements and Soltera’s continuous disclosure filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.





Mineral Property Costs





Mineral property costs incurred during fiscal 2008 were attributable to the payments made to maintain the contract agreement in good standing and to exploration costs on the El Torno Project in Argentina and on the Real de Cananea and Casita Colorada projects in Mexico.





Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements





Soltera has no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect its liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.





Material Commitments for Capital Expenditures





Soltera had no contingencies or long-term commitments at October 31, 2008.





Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations





Soltera is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.





Critical Accounting Policies





Soltera’s financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses.  These
estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies.  Management believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our financial statements is critical to an understanding of Soltera’s financial statements.





Use of 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 amount of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period.   Actual results could differ from those estimates.





Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share


Soltera computed net income (loss) per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings per Share”.  SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement.  Basic EPS is computed
by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period.  Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method.  In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the
exercise of stock options or warrants.  Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.





Page - 18


Cash and Cash Equivalents


Soltera considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.





Mineral Properties


Cost of license acquisition, exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred.





Financial Instruments


Soltera’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, notes payable and due to related parties.  Unless otherwise noted, it is management's opinion that Soltera is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.  Because of
the short maturity of such assets and liabilities the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm








To the Directors and Stockholders


Soltera Mining Corp.


(An Exploration Stage Company)






We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Soltera Mining Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of October 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the years then ended, and accumulated from September 21, 2005 (Date of Inception) to October 31,
2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.




We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to
perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.




In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Soltera Mining Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of October 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, and accumulated from September 21, 2005
(Date of Inception) to October 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.




The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated any revenues and has incurred operating losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Soltera Mining Corp.


(An Exploration Stage Company)


Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements


October 31, 2008


(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)





1.           Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business




Soltera Mining Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 21, 2005 under the name Atlin Mineral Exploration Corp. (“Atlin”) The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No.7 “Accounting and Reporting
by Development Stage Enterprises”. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. The Company has not presently determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.




On May 30, 2007, the Company changed its name from Atlin to Soltera Mining Corp. On July 24, 2007, the Company entered into a Stock Acquisition Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Incas Mineral, S.A. (“Incas”), a company incorporated in Argentina, for consideration of $1,500.




On February 29, 2008, pursuant to a stock acquisition agreement, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Atzek Mineral SA de CV (“Atzek”), for consideration of $50,000 and 16,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.




On October 17, 2008, the Company, together with two Albanian companies, formed a new joint venture company named the Albanian Mines Company sh.a. (“Albanian Mines”) to tender for the rights to mineral properties in Albania.  The Company has a 25% interest in Albanian Mines.




These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate
earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at October 31, 2008, the Company has never generated any revenues and has accumulated losses of $2,394,192 since inception. These
factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.




2.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies




a)
Consolidated Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation




These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. These consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of the Company with its Argentinean wholly-owned subsidiary, Incas Mineral, S.A. (“Incas”)
and its Mexican wholly-owned subsidiary, Atzek Mineral SA de CV (“Atzek”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. On October 31, 2008, the Company holds a 25% interest in an incorporated joint venture which is accounted for under the equity method.  As at October 31, 2008, the joint venture has not incurred any costs.  The Company’s fiscal year end is October 31.




b)
Use of Estimates




The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with US 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 consolidated financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, recoverability of mineral property acquisition costs, asset retirement obligations, stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various
other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be
affected.

c)
Earnings (Loss) Per Share




The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. As at October
31, 2008, there were 1,100,000 dilutive securities.




d)
Comprehensive Loss


SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the consolidated financial statements. As at October 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company’s only component of comprehensive loss was foreign currency translation adjustments.


e)
Cash and Cash Equivalents




The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.




f)
Mineral Property Costs




The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on September 21, 2005 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined
that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.




g)
Property and Equipment




Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Amortization has been provided on a straight-line basis over 5 to 10 years.






h)
Long-lived Assets




In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are
not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly
before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

i)
Asset Retirement Obligations




The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development
and for normal operations of such assets.




j)
Financial Instruments




Financial instruments, which include cash, short-term investments, due from a related party, loan receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, and amounts due to a related party were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company’s operations
are in Mexico, Canada and Argentina, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.




k)
Income Taxes




The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting
and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduced deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.




l)
Stock-based Compensation




The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payments” using the fair value method.




All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.






m)
Foreign Currency Translation




The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated in accordance with SFAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation”, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on settlement
of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.




The functional currency of the wholly-owned subsidiary, Incas, is the Argentine Peso and of Atzek, is the Mexican Peso. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are translated to United States dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52 using period-end rates of exchange for assets and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the year
for revenues and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in current operations.

n)
Marketable Securities




The Company defines marketable securities as income yielding securities that can be readily converted into cash. Examples of marketable securities include U.S. Treasury and agency obligations, commercial paper, corporate notes and bonds, time deposits, foreign notes and certificates of deposit. The Company accounts for its investment in debt
and equity instruments under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 115,  “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities and Financial Accounting Standards Board”, or FASB, Staff Position, or FSP, SFAS No. 115-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”. The Company follows the
guidance provided by EITF No. 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments”, to assess whether our investments with unrealized loss positions are other than temporarily impaired. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other than temporary are determined based on the specific identification method and are reported in other income (expense). Management determines the appropriate
classification of such securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such classification as of each balance sheet date. As at December 31, 2008, the Company’s marketable securities consisted of term deposits for periods longer than three months and are classified as held-to-maturity.




o)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements




In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental
entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. It is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.




In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”. SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring
enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance,
and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.




In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations”. SFAS 141 (revised 2007) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired,
the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect
on the Company's consolidated financial statements.




In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation
of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

o)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (continued)




In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other
items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before
November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.




In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS No. 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected have a material effect on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.




In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of
first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

of the Company. This acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price of $1,500 was allocated entirely to mineral property costs as the net book value of Incas is nil.  At October 31, 2008, the Company has not yet determined whether there are any proven reserves on the property.

Item 9.                      Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.





There are no changes in and disagreements with Soltera’s accountants on accounting and financial disclosure.  Soltera’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm from inception to the current date is Manning Elliott LLP, Chartered Accountants, 1100 - 1050 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 3S7, Canada.





Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.





Disclosure Controls and Procedures





In connection with the preparation of this annual report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was carried out by Soltera’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of Soltera’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) as of October 31, 2008.  Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.





Based on that evaluation, Soltera’s management concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that Soltera’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting information required to be disclosed, within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms
and that such information was not accumulated or communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  In particular, Soltera failed to complete and file its annual report and subsequent quarterly reports in a timely manner.





In May 2009, management implemented the following remediation procedures, subsequent to October 31, 2008, which are intended to remediate the causes of Soltera’s disclosure procedures and controls ineffectiveness:





&
adopted a Disclosure Committee Charter (see Exhibit 99.1 for more details)


&
appointed Soltera’s officers and directors to the Disclosure Committee


&
adopted policy to utilize external service providers to review and provide comment on disclosure reports and statements





Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting





Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section 404 A.  Soltera’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of Soltera’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Soltera’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:





·
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of Soltera’s assets;





·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of Directors; and





·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of Soltera’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.





Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures
may deteriorate.





Page - 37


Management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control –Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (“COSO”).  As a result of this assessment, management identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.





A material weakness is a control deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of Soltera’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.





The matters involving internal controls and procedures that management considered to be material weaknesses under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board were: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on Soltera’s board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight
in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.  The aforementioned material weaknesses were identified by Soltera’s Chief
Financial Officer in connection with the audit of its financial statements as of October 31, 2008 and communicated the matters to management.





As a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, management has concluded that, as of October 31, 2008, Soltera’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control – Integrated
Frameworkissued by COSO.





Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an affect on Soltera’s financial results.  However, management believes that the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of outside directors on Soltera’s board of directors caused and continues
to cause an ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of the required internal controls over financial reporting.





Soltera is committed to improving its financial organization.  As part of this commitment and when funds are available, Soltera will create a position to Soltera to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and will increase its personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function by:  i)
appointing one or more outside directors to its board of directors who will also be appointed to the audit committee of Soltera resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls over financial reporting; and ii) preparing and implementing sufficient written policies and checklists that will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and
SEC disclosure requirements.





Management believes that the appointment of one or more outside directors, who will also be appointed to a fully functioning audit committee, will remedy the lack of a functioning audit committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on Soltera’s Board.  In addition, management believes that preparing and implementing
sufficient written policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses:  (i) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial close and reporting processes.  Further, management believes that the hiring of additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result proper
segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the department.  Additional personnel will also provide the cross training needed to support Soltera if personnel turn-over issues within the department occur.  This coupled with the appointment of additional outside directors will greatly decrease any control and procedure issues Soltera may encounter in the future.





Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of Soltera’s internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.





Soltera’s independent auditors have not issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of Soltera’s internal control over financial reporting.  As a result, this annual report does not include an attestation report of Soltera’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control
over financial reporting.  Soltera was not required to have, nor has Soltera, engaged its independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit Soltera to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls





There were no changes in Soltera’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Soltera’s internal control over financial reporting.





Item 9B.  Other Information

exists or is contemplated.

Page - 39


(d)           Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings





(1)
No bankruptcy petition has been filed by or against any business of which any director was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time.





(2)
No director has been convicted in a criminal proceeding and is not subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences).





(3)
No director has been subject to any order, judgement, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities.





(4)
No director has been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Securities Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, that has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.





(e)           Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.





All reports were filed with the SEC on a timely basis and Soltera is not aware of any failures to file a required report during the period covered by this annual report.





(f)           Nomination Procedure for Directors





Soltera does not have a standing nominating committee; recommendations for candidates to stand for election as directors are made by the board of directors.  Soltera has not adopted a policy that permits shareholders to recommend candidates for election as directors or a process for shareholders to send communications to the board
of directors.





(g)           Audit Committee Financial Expert





Soltera has no financial expert.  Management believes the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive.  Soltera’s Board of Directors has determined that it does not presently need an audit committee financial expert on the Board of Directors to carry out the duties of the Audit Committee.  Soltera’s
Board of Directors has determined that the cost of hiring a financial expert to act as a director of Soltera and to be a member of the Audit Committee or otherwise perform Audit Committee functions outweighs the benefits of having a financial expert on the Audit Committee.





(h)           Identification of Audit Committee





Soltera does not have a separately-designated standing audit committee.  Rather, Soltera’s entire board of directors performs the required functions of an audit committee.

independent requirements for an audit committee member.  See Item 12. (c) Director independence below for more information on independence.





Soltera’s audit committee is responsible for: (1) selection and oversight of Soltera’s independent accountant; (2) establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; (3) establishing procedures for the confidential, anonymous submission by
Soltera’s employees of concerns regarding accounting and auditing matters; (4) engaging outside advisors; and, (5) funding for the outside auditor and any outside advisors engaged by the audit committee.





As of October 31, 2008, Soltera did not have a written audit committee charter or similar document.





(i)           Code of Ethics





Soltera has adopted a financial code of ethics that applies to all its executive officers and employees, including its CEO and CFO.  See Exhibit 14 – Code of Ethics for more information.  Soltera undertakes to provide any person with a copy of its financial code of ethics free of charge.  Please contact
Nadwynn Sing at (604) 732-1304 to request a copy of Soltera’s financial code of ethics.  Management believes Soltera’s financial code of ethics is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote honest and ethical conduct; provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in public reports; comply with applicable laws; ensure prompt internal reporting of code violations; and provide accountability for adherence to the code.

Currently, there are no arrangements between Soltera and any of its directors whereby such directors are compensated for any services provided as directors.





There are no employment agreements between Soltera and any named executive officer, and there are no employment agreements or other compensating plans or arrangements with regard to any named executive officer which provide for specific compensation in the event of resignation, retirement, other termination of employment or from a change of

a portion of the expenses of Soltera for travel and other costs in Argentina with his paid salary.  If and when Soltera raises the needed funds, the president will be reimbursed for these expenses.





Also, pursuant to the terms and conditions of a management agreement, Soltera retained the continued services of Nadwynn Sing for a term of 12 months beginning August 1, 2007 and expiring on July 31, 2008.  Mr. Sing provided his services as the chief financial officer of Soltera and his business management expertise to Soltera in
connection with its business activities.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this agreement Soltera paid Mr. Sing US$3,500 per month for providing such services and reimbursed Mr. Sing for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that he incurred in fulfilling the terms of this agreement, including reimbursement for office rent in the amount of US$500 per month.

In
summary, an “independent director” means a person other than an executive officer or employee of Soltera or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of Soltera’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgement in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and includes any director who accepted any compensation from Soltera in excess of $200,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months with the three past fiscal years.  Also,
the ownership of Soltera’s stock will not preclude a director from being independent.





In applying this definition, Soltera’s board of directors has determined that only Dr. Ashworth qualifies as an “independent director” pursuant to the same Rule.





As of the date of the report, Soltera did not maintain a separately designated compensation or nominating committee.


Soltera has also adopted this definition for the independence of the members of its audit committee.  Fabio Montanari, Nadwynn Sing, and Kevan Ashworth serve on Soltera’s audit committee.  Soltera’s board of directors has determined that only Dr. Ashworth is “independent” for purposes of Rule 4200(a)(15)
of the NASDAQ Manual, applicable to audit, compensation and nominating committee members, and is “independent” for purposes of Section 10A(m)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act.

Page - 54





Other Responsibilities




The Committee will have such other responsibilities, consistent with the Committee’s purpose, as any Senior Officer may assign to it from time to time.




Disclosure Control Considerations





The Committee will base the review and revision of the Disclosure Controls and Procedures on the following factors:





·
Control Environment:The directives of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee; the integrity and ethical values of Soltera’s officers and employees, including the “tone at the top”; Soltera’s Code of Ethics;
and the philosophy and operating style of management, including how employees are organized and how authority is delegated.

Organization






The members of the Committee will be comprised of Soltera’s officers and directors.






The Committee may designate two or more individuals, at least one of whom will be knowledgeable about financial reporting and another about law, who can, acting together, review Disclosure Statements when time does not permit full Committee review.






The Senior Officers at their option may, at any time and from time to time, assume any or all of the responsibilities of the Disclosure Committee identified in this Charter, including, for example, approving Disclosure Statements when time does not permit the full Committee (or the designated individuals) to meet or act.






The Committee may, at any time and from time to time, utilize external service providers to review and provide further comment on the Reports and the Disclosure Statements.






Page - 55




Chair






The Chief Financial Officer of Soltera will act as the Chair of the Committee (unless and until another member of the Committee will be so appointed by any Senior Officer).






Meetings and Procedures






The Committee will meet or act as frequently and as formally or informally as circumstances dictate to (i) ensure the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of the Disclosure Statements and (ii) evaluate the Disclosure Controls and Procedures and determine whether any changes to the Disclosure Controls and Procedures are necessary or advisable
in connection with the preparation of the Reports or other Disclosure Statements, taking into account developments since the most recent evaluation, including material changes in Soltera’s organization and business objectives and any material change in economic or industry conditions.






The Committee will adopt, whether formally or informally, such procedures as it deems necessary to facilitate the fulfillment of its responsibilities.






Full Access






The Committee will have full access to all of Soltera’s books, records, assets, facilities and personnel, including the internal auditors, in connection with fulfilling its responsibilities.






Charter Review






The Committee will review and assess this Charter annually and recommend any proposed changes to the Senior Officers for approval.






Interpretation






Any questions of interpretation regarding this Charter, or the Committee’s responsibilities or procedures, will be determined initially by the Chair and, to the extent necessary, ultimately by the Senior Officers.
