Chancery
Resources, Inc.
(An
Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to
the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The
accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Chancery Resources, Inc.,
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and notes thereto contained in Chancery's Annual Report filed with
the SEC on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods
presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year. Notes to the financial statements which substantially
duplicate the disclosure contained in the audited financial statements for
fiscal 2008 as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.
We do not
expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a
significant impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash
flow.
Certain
prior year balances have been reclassed to conform with the current year
presentation.
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 not generated any
revenue 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 or debt financing to continue operations, and the attainment of
profitable operations. As at May 31, 2010, the Company has a working capital
deficit of $395,125 and has accumulated losses of $1,579,824 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 to the recoverability and classification of recorded
asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should
the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

General
Overview
We were
incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 12, 2006. We are an exploration
stage corporation. An exploration stage corporation is one that is engaged in
the search from mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either the
development or production stage.
We
maintain our statutory registered agent's office at The Corporation Trust
Company of Nevada, 6100 Neil Road, Suite 500, Reno, Nevada 89511 and our
business office and mailing address is 4400 Westgrove Drive, Suite 104, Dallas,
Texas 75001. Our telephone number is (972) 655-9890.
On March
19, 2008, we entered into a mining acquisition agreement with Altos de Amador
S.A., wherein we have agreed to purchase a 100% interest in certain mineral
claims in Valparaiso, Antioquia, Colombia, known as the El Cafetal
Mine.
As
consideration for the purchase, we have agreed to pay to Altos de Amador
$270,000 cash, to be provided as follows:
|
(a)
|
$50,000
to be provided on signing of the acquisition agreement
(paid);
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
$70,000
to be provided within 30 days of signing the acquisition agreement (paid);
and
|
|
|
|
|
(c)
|
$150,000
to be provided within 90 days of signing the acquisition
agreement.
|
In
addition, we have agreed to split profits from mining operations – 60% to our
company and 40% to the vendor until such time as we have paid $210,000 of the
purchase price, after which, profits shall be split 90% to our company and 10%
to the vendor. We have the right to acquire the vendor’s 10% profit interest at
any time for $370,000.
To date,.
As our
initial mining
acquisition agreement with Altos de Amador is no longer in good standing due to
certain misrepresentation on warranties and representations made on Altos de
Amador’s side, we have signed a Mining Acquisition Agreement on April 14
th
, 2009
directly with the owners of the property, Inversiones Midas Limitada, to
continue negotiations, which has a final payment of $150,000 minus
payments to the outstanding governmental fees due on the El Cafetal mine with no
timeframe period for payment.
Effective
April 14, 2009, we entered into an agreement with Inversiones Midas wherein the
terms of profit split so that, upon commencement of mining operations, all
profits from the sale of ore shall be split 60% to our company and 40% to the
vendor. Upon our company having paid a further 720 million Colombian pesos
(estimated value of land and equipment), Inversiones Midas agrees to give and
transfer 50% ownership of the Mining title, in addition to the funds payable
pursuant to the terms of the mining acquisition agreement, such profits shall
then be split 90% to our company and 10% to the vendor. Our company will have
the right to acquire the vendor’s 10% profit interest at any time upon payment
of additional 780 million Colombian pesos, and then the remaining 50% of the
Title ownership will be transferred to our company.
On
November 4, 2008, our board of directors designated 40,000,000 shares of our
preferred stock as the Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A
Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of our common stock on the basis of
one (1) share of Series A Preferred Stock for one-fifth (1/5) of one share of
our Common Stock;
On
November 6, 2008, we entered into a consulting agreement with Rafael Pinedo, our
President. The term of the agreement is for a period of one year and in
consideration for the services to be provided we have agreed to issue 1,000,000
restricted shares of our common stock to Mr. Pinedo.
On
November 6, 2008, we entered into a mineral property acquisition agreement with
CB Resources Ltd., BNP Resources LLC and Rafael Pinedo to acquire certain
mineral property interests known as the HCL Property (the HCL Property is
comprised in part by our formerly owned Hunter Property). The closing of the
transactions contemplated in the mineral property acquisition agreement occurred
on November 6, 2008. In accordance with the closing of the mineral property
acquisition agreement, we agreed to issue 1,000,000 restricted shares of our
common stock to CB Resources Ltd., 25,000,000 restricted shares of our Series A
Preferred Stock to Rafael Pinedo and 6,000,000 restricted shares of our Series A
Preferred Stock to BNP Resources LLC. Due to land ownership restrictions under
British Columbia laws, we entered into a trust agreement with CB Resources Ltd.,
wherein CB Resources Ltd. agreed to hold the mineral property interests in trust
for our company.
On
November 12, 2008, we incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary pursuant to the
laws of the Province of British Columbia under the name Chancery Mining Canada
Ltd.
On
January 19, 2009, we acquired through our wholly owned subsidiary, Chancery
Mining Canada Ltd., an undivided one hundred percent (100%) interest in certain
mineral interests located in British Columbia, Canada known as the Fiddler Creek
Property.
The
Fiddler Creek Property is comprised of 25 mineral claims, totaling 465.74
hectares located within the Omineca Mining Division in northwestern British
Columbia. The acquired block of claims counts with records of a past producer
“Fiddler Creek,” which describes the geology of the Property as an area that is
underlain by argillites of the Jurassic to Cretaceous Bowser Lake Group, in
which auriferous quartz veins are probable sources for placer gold along Fiddler
Creek (BC Minfile 103I206). The deposit types that historically predominate in
the Fiddler-Doreen area are Silver, Gold, Lead and Zinc. Geophysical, soil, rock
and core samples will be analyzed soon; an exploration program recommended by a
qualified geology person will be released when finalized.
On
January 30, 2009, we incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary pursuant to the laws
of Columbia under the name Minera Chancery Colombia.
On July
24, 2009, Chancery Resources, Inc. (the "Company") received a NI 43-101 Canadian
Compliant Geological report on the El Cafetal Property as prepared and submitted
by James R. Reeves, Reg., P.Geo., in his capacity as a geological consultant to
the Company. Technical Report was formatted on Canadian National Instrument
43-101 ("NI 43-101"), which is a mineral resource classification scheme that
provides strict guidelines for the public disclosure of scientific and technical
information relating to mineral properties.
On
August 3rd, 2009, Vincent Higgins was appointed as independent director of our
company.
Subsequent
to such appointment, on August 4, 2009, Juan Restrepo Gutierrez resigned as
chief executive officer and remains as chief operations officer, secretary and
director of our company and Rafael A. Pinedo was appointed chief executive and
ratified as president.
There are
no family relationships with any of our directors and officers.
October
16th , 2009, the Company dismissed Manning Elliott, as its independent
registered public accounting firm and, on October 16 th , 2009, engaged Malone
& Bailey, PC, from Houston Texas as its new independent registered public
accounting firm.
Other
than as set out herein, we have not been involved in any bankruptcy,
receivership or similar proceedings, nor have we been a party to any material
reclassification, merger, consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant
amount of assets not in the ordinary course of our business.
Our
Current Business
We are an
exploration stage mining company engaged in the exploration of minerals on our
properties.
Our
current operational focus is to conduct exploration activities on our HCL
Property, to complete the terms of the mining acquisition agreement with Altos
de Amador S.A. for the El Cafetal Mine and to conduct exploration activities on
our Fiddler Creek Property.
HCL
Property
General
Information
The HCL
Property is a mining claim located in Merritt, British Columbia, Canada, and
totals 415.04 hectares or 1,026 acres approximately.

A cell is
an area, which appears electronically on the British Columbia Internet Minerals
Titles Online Grid and was formerly called a claim. A claim is a grant from the
Crown of the available land within the cells to the holder to remove and sell
minerals. The online grid is the geographical basis for the cell. Formerly, the
claim was established by sticking stakes in the ground to define the area and
then recording the staking information. The staking system is now antiquated in
British Columbia and has been replaced with the online grid. The claim is
registered in the name of the Chancery Mining Canada Ltd. There are no native
land claims that affect title to the property.
Location
and Access
The HCL
mineral claim is comprised of 20 contiguous cells totalling 415.0483 hectares.
The center of the property is located at the latitude 50o 2' 14" N and the
longitude is 120o 47' 1" W. The claim is motor vehicle accessible from
the Town of Merritt, B.C. by
traveling 19 miles east along Highway #5 beyond the Village of Quilchena, B.C.
to the Minnie Lake cut-off and then for 18 miles south by gravel ranch roads to
the mineral claim.
Below is
map of the HCL Claim:
Physiography
The Town
of Merritt, British Columbia which lies 37 miles by road northwest of the HCL
mineral claim offers much of the necessary infrastructure required to base and
carry-out an exploration program (accommodations, communications, equipment and
supplies). Merritt B.C. is highway accessible from Vancouver, B.C. in a few
hours by traveling over the Coquihalla (toll section) highway, in the time it
takes to travel 200 miles. The overnight Greyhound bus service is a popular way
to send-in samples and to receive additional equipment and supplies. The claim
area ranges in elevation from 2,850 feet to 3,400 feet mean sea level. The
physiographic setting of the property can be described as rounded, open range,
plateau terrain that has been surficially altered both by the erosional and the
depositional (drift cover) effects of glaciation. Thickness of drift cover in
the valleys may vary considerably. Fresh water lakes and streams are abundant in
the area.
Below is a map of the
HCL Property location:
Location,
History and Land Tenure
The
geology of the HCL mineral claim may be described as being underlain by units of
the Nicola Group. Some or all of these units may be found to host economic
mineralization. The property geological setting offers good underlying
possibilities and all overburden areas should be checked if a field program is
undertaken. The deposit types that historically predominate in the general area
are, as the larger target, as a porphyry-type base metal (copper-gold-palladium
or copper-molybdenum) occurrence with peripheral base and precious metal
occurrences as veins and/or contact zones of mineralization. The most prolific
host in this area is the Nicola Group andesitic tuffs that are often skarned or
altered. Any occurrences of Princeton Group sediments, i.e. shales, sanstone,
etc. should be checked thoroughly for coal occurrences and possibly coal-bed
methane gas possibilities.

Climate and Local
Resources
The
climate in the area is temperate with significant coastal influence coming from
the west up the Skeena valley as well as from the southwest up the Kitimat
valley. The northern location allows for long hours of daylight during the
summer, while significant snowfall occurs during winter season, which limits
fieldwork. Field season is comprised between June and early
September.
The
closest airport is the Terrace airport, which receives daily flights from
Vancouver and serves as a transportation hub for the area. The Canadian National
Railway and Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16) go through Terrace along the Skeena
River and connect the interior of B.C. to the ocean ports of Prince Rupert and
Kitimat.
General
Information
The El
Cafetal Mine is located in the River basin of the Honda stream, on the Eastern
flank of the Western Mountain range, in the municipality of Valparaiso,
Antioquia, Colombia.
The
property covers an area of 135 hectares. The geology of the zone includes
sedimentary rocks and basaltic lava and Andesite of Tertiary age with several
veins and veins with different thicknesses and sulfide concentrations up to
80%.
The
mineralization consists of several veins with thicknesses between 0.15 and 1.1
m, composed by quartz, pyrite and partly free gold fitted in andesite lava, the
strips of 0.15 m of thickness with great sulfide concentrations are common
mainly pyrite up to an 80% with intermediate zones of rock with scattered
sulfides, in the endorsements the salband are common to conform a mineralized
zone up to 1.1 m.
We
recently completed preliminary sampling and chemical analyses on the El Cafatel
property. Our management is awaiting the results from the preliminary sampling
program and will update shareholders in the near future.

We plan
to raise additional capital required to meet immediate short-term needs and to
meet the balance of our estimated funding requirements for the twelve months,
primarily through the private placement of our securities.
We are
not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties
that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our liquidity
increasing or decreasing in any material way.
Future
Financings
We will
require additional financing in order to enable us to proceed with the continued
exploration of our current properties, including approximately $165,000 over the
next 12 months to pay for our ongoing operating expenses. These expenses include
audit, legal and office expenses. These cash requirements are in excess of our
current cash and working capital resources. Accordingly, we will require
additional financing in order to continue operations and to repay our
liabilities. There is no assurance that any party will advance additional funds
to us in order to enable us to sustain our plan of operations or to repay our
liabilities.
We
anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to
continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will
result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we
will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt
or other financing to fund our planned business activities.
We presently do not have any
arrangements for additional financing for the expansion of our exploration
operations, and no potential lines of credit or sources of financing are
currently available for the purpose of proceeding with our plan of
operations.
Contractual
Obligations
As a
“smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure
obligations.
Going
Concern
We have
suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our company as a
going concern is dependent upon our company attaining and maintaining profitable
operations and raising additional capital. The financial statements do not
include any adjustment relating to the recovery and classification of recorded
asset amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be
necessary should our company discontinue operations.
Due to
the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the
capital expenses noted above, in their report on the annual financial statements
for the year ended November 30, 2009, our independent auditors included an
explanatory paragraph regarding the substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note
disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our
independent auditors.
The
continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial
support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a
significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders.
Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will
increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We have
no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a
current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Application
of Critical Accounting Policies
Our
financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles used 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. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates
and assumptions involved with the following aspects of our consolidated
financial statements is critical to an understanding of our
financials.

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 our financial statements.
Mineral
Property Costs
The
Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception 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
exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs
are initially capitalized when incurred
using the guidance in EITF 04-02,
“Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or Intangible Assets”. The Company assesses
the carrying costs for impairment under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment
or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been
determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of
establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then 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.
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.
Financial
Instruments
The fair
values of financial instruments, which include cash, accounts payable and
accrued liabilities, amounts due to a related party and loans payable, 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 Canada, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign
currency 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.
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 carry-forwards. 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 reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that
is believed more likely than not to be realized.
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.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In June
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff
Position EITF 03-6-1,
“Determining Whether Instruments
Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities”.
FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in
share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting,
and therefore need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under
the two-
class method as described in FASB Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 128,
“Earnings per Share.”
FSP
EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. The
adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on our
company’s consolidated financial statements.
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 our 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 SFAS No. 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. SFAS No. 161 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008,
with early adoption encouraged. The adoption of this statement did not have a
material effect on our company's consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),
“Business Combinations”.
SFAS
No. 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 non-controlling
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. SFAS No.
141 (revised 2007) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting
period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this statement
is not expected to have a material effect on our company's consolidated
financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,
“Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements Liabilities – an Amendment of ARB No.
51”.
This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting
standards for the Non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement is effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December
15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of this statement is
not expected to have a material effect on our company’s consolidated financial
statements.
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 did not have a material effect on our 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 did not have a material
effect on our company's consolidated financial statements.
Item
3. Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risks
As a
“smaller reporting company”, we are not required to provide the information
required by this Item.
Item
4T. Controls and Procedures.
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of
1934
, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our president (our principal executive officer) our chief
financial officer (our principal financial officer and principal accounting
officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In
designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management
recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and
operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control
objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating
the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our
president (our principal executive officer) our chief financial officer (our
principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), we have conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based on this evaluation, our president (our principal executive
officer) our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and
principal accounting officer) concluded as of the evaluation date that our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the material
information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission
reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, particularly during
the period when this report was being prepared. Management’s
conclusion was based on the fact that the auditors identified several
adjustments to our financial statements for the period ended February,
2010.
Additionally,
there were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could
significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date. We have
not identified any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our
internal controls, and therefore there were no corrective actions taken.
PART
II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item
1. Legal Proceedings.
We know
of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor
are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation.
There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates,
or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a
material interest adverse to our interest.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
Much of
the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon
estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements". Such forward
looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our
management in connection with our business operations. While these
forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are
made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of
our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from
any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance
suggested herein.
Such estimates, projections or other
"forward looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined
below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected
and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual
results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates,
projections or other "forward looking statements".
Our
common shares are considered speculative during the development of our new
business operations. Prospective investors should consider carefully the risk
factors set out below.
RISKS
RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
All
of our properties are in the exploration stage. There is no assurance that we
can establish the existence of any mineral resource on any of our properties in
commercially exploitable quantities. Until we can do so, we cannot earn any
revenues from operations and if we do not do so we will lose all of the funds
that we expend on exploration. If we do not discover any mineral resource in a
commercially exploitable quantity, our business could fail.
Despite
exploration work on our mineral properties, we have not established that any of
them contain any mineral reserve, nor can there be any assurance that we will be
able to do so. If we do not, our business could fail.
A mineral
reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry
Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at
http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/forms/industry.htm#secguide7
) as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally
extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability
of an individual prospect ever having a "reserve" that meets the requirements of
the Securities and Exchange Commission's Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote;
in all probability our mineral resource property does not contain any 'reserve'
and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost.
Even if
we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on one or more of our properties,
there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our properties into
producing mines and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and
development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored
are ultimately developed into producing mines.
The
commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number
of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of
the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a
smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation and market
prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could
increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource
unprofitable.
Mineral
operations are subject to applicable law and government regulation. Even if we
discover a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, these laws
and regulations could restrict or prohibit the exploitation of that mineral
resource. If we cannot exploit any mineral resource that we might discover on
our properties, our business may fail.
Both
mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various foreign,
federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and are governed
by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine
development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labour standards,
occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental
protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the continued
exploration of our mineral properties or for the construction and operation of a
mine on our properties at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish
these objectives, our business could fail.
We
believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that
currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can
continue to remain in compliance. Current laws and regulations could be amended
and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be
no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary
for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain
them on reasonable terms. To the
extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or
prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our
mineral properties.
If
we establish the existence of a mineral resource on any of our properties in a
commercially exploitable quantity, we will require additional capital in order
to develop the property into a producing mine. If we cannot raise this
additional capital, we will not be able to exploit the resource, and our
business could fail.
If we do
discover mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities on any of our
properties, we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to establish
the extent of the resource, develop processes to extract it and develop
extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive
substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, there can be no
assurance that such a resource will be large enough to justify commercial
operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the
funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot raise the
necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our
business may fail.
Mineral
exploration and development is subject to extraordinary operating risks. We do
not currently insure against these risks. In the event of a cave-in or similar
occurrence, our liability may exceed our resources, which would have an adverse
impact on our company.
Mineral
exploration, development and production involves many risks which even a
combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to
overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks inherent
in the exploration for mineral resources and, if we discover a mineral resource
in commercially exploitable quantity, our operations could be subject to all of
the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of resources,
including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we
cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could
result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the
environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these
operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such
occurrence would have a material adverse impact on our company.
Mineral
prices are subject to dramatic and unpredictable fluctuations.
We expect
to derive revenues, if any, either from the sale of our mineral resource
properties or from the extraction and sale of precious and base metals such as
gold, silver and copper. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in
recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including
international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation,
currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive
patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction
developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these
factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic
viability of any of our exploration properties and projects, cannot accurately
be predicted.
The
mining industry is highly competitive and there is no assurance that we will
continue to be successful in acquiring mineral claims. If we cannot continue to
acquire properties to explore for mineral resources, we may be required to
reduce or cease operations.
The
mineral exploration, development, and production industry is largely
un-integrated. We compete with other exploration companies looking for mineral
resource properties. While we compete with other exploration companies in the
effort to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, we will not compete
with them for the removal or sales of mineral products from our properties if we
should eventually discover the presence of them in quantities sufficient to make
production economically feasible. Readily available markets exist worldwide for
the sale of mineral products. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any
mineral products that we identify and produce.
In
identifying and acquiring mineral resource properties, we compete with many
companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities. This
competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for
exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will
acquire any interest in additional mineral resource properties that might yield
reserves or result in commercial mining operations.
Risks Related To Our
Company
We
have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business
and prospects.
We have
been in the business of exploring mineral resource properties since September
2006 and we have not yet located any mineral reserve. As a result, we have never
had any revenues from our operations. In addition, our operating history has
been restricted to the acquisition and exploration of our mineral properties and
this does not provide a meaningful basis for an evaluation of our prospects if
we ever determine that we have a mineral reserve and commence the construction
and operation of a mine. We have no way to evaluate the likelihood of whether
our mineral properties contain any mineral reserve or, if they do that we will
be able to build or operate a mine successfully. We anticipate that we will
continue to incur operating costs without realizing any revenues during the
period when we are exploring our properties. We therefore expect to continue to
incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we
are unable to generate significant revenues from mining operations and any
dispositions of our properties, we will not be able to earn profits or continue
operations. At this early stage of our operation, we also expect to face the
risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by
companies at the start up stage of their business development. We cannot be sure
that we will be successful in addressing these risks and uncertainties and our
failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our financial
condition. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the
likelihood that we will prove successful and we can provide investors with no
assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve
profitable operations.
The
fact that we have not earned any operating revenues since our incorporation
raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue to explore our mineral
properties as a going concern.
We have
not generated any revenue from operations since our incorporation and we
anticipate that we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues
unless and until we are able to identify a mineral resource in a commercially
exploitable quantity on one or more of our mineral properties and we build and
operate a mine. We estimate our average monthly operating expenses to be
approximately $7,800 to $9,500, including mineral property costs, management
services and administrative costs. Should the results of our planned exploration
require us to increase our current operating budget, we may have to raise
additional funds to meet our currently budgeted operating requirements for the
next 12 months. As we cannot assure a lender that we will be able to
successfully explore and develop our mineral properties, we will probably find
it difficult to raise debt financing from traditional lending sources. We have
traditionally raised our operating capital from sales of equity and debt
securities, but there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to do
so. If we cannot raise the money that we need to continue exploration of our
mineral properties, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate our
exploration activities. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial
risk that our business would fail.
These
circumstances lead our independent registered public accounting firm, in their
report dated August 31, 2009, to comment about our company’s ability to continue
as a going concern. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a
private placement and public offering of its capital stock. These conditions
raise substantial doubt about our company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Although there are no assurances that management’s plans will be
realized, management believes that our company will be able to continue
operations in the future. The consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded
assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be
necessary in the event our company cannot continue in existence.” We continue to
experience net operating losses.
Risks
Associated with Our Common Stock
Trading
on the OTC Bulletin Board may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the
market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to
resell their shares.
Our
common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board
is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading
prices, due to many factors that may
have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility
could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to
operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange,
and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than
the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock
exchange like Amex. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any
of their shares.
Our
stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s
penny stock regulations and FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit
a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock
is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9
which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a
market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less
than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered
by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and
“accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to
institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth
in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly
with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a
transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a
standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which
provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the
penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with
current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the
broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account
statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s
account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson
compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing
prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing
before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules
require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from
these 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 agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements
may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary
market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently,
these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our
securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest
in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
In
addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that
require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must
have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that
customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their
non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to
obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment
objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there is a high
probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at
least some customers. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’ requirements
make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy
our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our
stock.
Other
Risks
Trends,
Risks and Uncertainties
We have
sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our
business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks
may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks
that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors
before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.
