1. |
Nature of Operations and Going Concern |
|
|
|
|
Lake Victoria Mining Company, Inc. (the Company) was
incorporated on December 11, 2006 under the laws of the State of Nevada.
The Companys administrative office is located in Vancouver,
Canada. |
|
|
|
|
The Companys principal business activity is the
acquisition of, and the exploration for valuable minerals. The Company
primarily conducts exploration activities for gold on properties located
in Tanzania, East Africa. Assuming funding is available, the Company plans
to identify, build and run one or more small-scale gold mines on mineral
properties within the Companys Tanzanian mining licenses. The Company has
been in the exploration stage since inception and has not yet realized any
revenues from its planned operations. |
|
|
|
|
As of June 30, 2015, none of the Companys mineral
property interests had proven or probable reserves as determined under the
requirements of SEC Industry Guide No. 7. The ability of the Company to
emerge from the exploration stage with respect to any planned principal
business activity is dependent upon its successful efforts to raise
additional debt or equity financing and/or attain profitable mining
operations. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $1,783,491 and
an accumulated deficit of $20,526,068 as at June 30, 2015. The Company
also has no revenues. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to
seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings to provide
funds needed to continue the exploration for gold. No assurance can be
given that additional financing will be available, or that it can be
obtained on terms acceptable to the Company and its stockholders. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the
event the Company cannot continue as a going concern. |
|
|
|
2. |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
|
|
|
a) |
Basis of Presentation |
|
|
|
|
|
These consolidated financial statements and related notes
are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States (US GAAP), and are expressed in United States.
dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Kilimanjaro Mining Company,
Inc. (Kilimanjaro), Lake Victoria Resources Company, (T) Ltd., Jin 179
Company Tanzania Ltd. and Chrysos 197 Company Tanzania Ltd. Significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Companys
fiscal year-end is March 31. |
|
|
|
|
|
These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with
the instructions to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-Q.
They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete consolidated
financial statements. Therefore, these interim consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
March 31, 2015, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
on June 30, 2015 with the SEC. |
|
|
|
|
|
The consolidated financial statements included herein are
unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and
adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present
fairly the Companys financial position at June 30, 2015, and the results
of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2015.
The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2015 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters
or the full year. |
|
|
|
|
b) |
Use of Estimates |
|
|
|
|
|
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in
the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and
assumptions related to valuation of long-lived assets, mineral property
costs, asset retirement obligations, forward gold sale liability,
stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax assets. 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 Companys estimates. To the extent there
are material differences between the estimates and the actual results,
future results of operations will be affected. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(continued) |
|
|
|
|
c) |
Business Combinations |
|
|
|
|
|
The Company follows the guidance in ASC 805, Business
Combinations, and ASC 810, Consolidation. The Company has no
non-controlling interests. As at June 30, 2015, the Company does not have
any non- controlling interests. |
|
|
|
|
d) |
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share |
|
|
|
|
|
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in
accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, which requires presentation
of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of
consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. Basic EPS is computed by
dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders (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. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had
9,400,000 potentially dilutive securities outstanding. |
|
|
|
|
e) |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
|
|
|
|
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with
a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance or may be
redeemed without significant penalties to be cash equivalents. |
|
|
|
|
|
As of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company has
approximately $1,300 and $1,400, respectively, deposited at FDIC insured
banks in the United States. FDIC deposit insurance covers the balance of
each depositors account up to $250,000 per insured bank. |
|
|
|
|
|
As of June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the Company has
approximately $40,000 and $131,000, respectively, deposited in banks in
Canada. CDIC deposit insurance covers the balance of each depositors
account up to $100,000 per insured bank. These deposits include $5,472
(CAD$6,900) and $6,466 (CAD$6,900), respectively, of guaranteed investment
certificates bearing variable interest at prime rate less 1.90% which is
restricted in use for corporation credit cards. |
|
|
|
|
|
As of June 30, 2015, the Company has Tanzania shillings
of 4,200,000 (approximately $1,900) and $5,400 deposited in Tanzania. The
Deposit Insurance Board in Tanzania insures up to 1,500,000 Tanzanian
Shillings (approximately $690 as of June 30, 2015) per customer per bank.
Any amount beyond the basic insurance amount may expose the Company to a
loss. |
|
|
|
|
f) |
Property and Equipment |
|
|
|
|
|
Property and equipment consists of mining tools and
equipment, furniture and equipment and computers and software which are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over their expected lives of five
years. |
|
|
|
|
g) |
Mineral Property Costs |
|
|
|
|
|
Under US GAAP mineral property acquisition costs are
ordinarily capitalized when incurred using ASC 805- 20-55-37, whether
Mineral Rights are Tangible or Intangible Assets. The carrying costs are
assessed for impairment under ASC 360-10-35-21, Accounting for Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying costs may not be recoverable. The
Company expenses as incurred all property maintenance and exploration
costs. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Company also evaluates the carrying value of acquired
mineral property rights in accordance with ASC 930-360-35-1, Mining
Assets: Impairment and Business Combinations, using the Value Beyond
Proven and Probable (VBPP) method. The fair value of a mining asset
generally includes both VBPP and an estimate of the future market price of
the minerals. |
|
|
|
|
|
When the Company has capitalized mineral property
development costs, these properties will be assessed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
costs may not be recoverable. Once a property reaches the production
stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of
production method. The Company records its interests in mining properties
and areas of geological interest at cost. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Principles
(continued) |
|
|
|
|
h) |
Long-Lived Assets |
|
|
|
|
|
In accordance with ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment
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 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 accounts for asset retirement obligations in
accordance with the provisions of ASC 440, Asset Retirement and
Environmental Obligations which requires the Company to record the fair
value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in
which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction,
development and/or normal use of the assets. The Company did not have any
asset retirement obligations as of June 30, 2015. |
|
|
|
|
j) |
Financial Instruments |
|
|
|
|
|
ASC 825, Financial Instruments requires an entity to
maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable
inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes a fair value
hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence
surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial
instruments categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon
the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value
measurement. ASC 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be
used to measure fair value: |
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1 |
|
|
|
|
|
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there
are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2 |
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there
are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or
liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in
active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in
markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active
markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are
observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by,
observable market data. |
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3 |
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there
are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant
to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or
liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Companys financial instruments consist principally
of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accounts payable to
related party, other payables, note payable, and forward gold sale
liability. |
|
|
|
|
|
Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair value of cash and cash
equivalents are determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Company has classified its forward gold sales
liability as a derivative liability. The fair value of the derivative
liability is determined based on Level 2 inputs. The initial forward
sale of gold is recorded at the fair value of consideration received. The
forward gold sale liability is revalued to fair value at each subsequent
reporting period end based on quoted forward gold prices at re-valuation
dates with any increase or decrease in the fair value of the liability
being recognized through comprehensive income or loss. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Company believes that the recorded values of accounts
payable, accounts payable to related party, other payables, and note
payable approximate their current fair values because of their nature and
respective relatively short maturity dates or
durations. |

Foreign Currency Translation |
|
|
|
|
|
The Companys functional and reporting currency is the
United States dollar. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated to United States dollars in accordance
with ASC 740, Foreign Currency Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing
at the consolidated balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on
translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or
balances are included in the determination of income. |
|
|
|
|
|
To the extent that the Company incurs transactions that
are not denominated in its functional currency, they are undertaken in
Canadian dollars and the Tanzanian Schillings. A portion of business
transactions in Tanzania and mineral option purchase agreements are
denominated in Tanzanian Schillings. The Company has not, to the date of
these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative
instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency
fluctuations. |
|
|
|
|
l) |
Segment Information |
|
|
|
|
|
At June 30, 2015, approximately $15,000 of property and
equipment (March 31, 2015 - $18,000) is located in Tanzania and $3,000
(March 31, 2015 - $4,000) in Canada. Mineral properties totaling $250,150
(March 31, 2015 - $250,150) are located in Tanzania. Although Tanzania is
considered economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated
events in foreign countries could disrupt the Companys
operations. |
|
|
|
|
m) |
Comprehensive Loss |
|
|
|
|
|
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for
the reporting and display of other comprehensive loss and its components
in the consolidated financial statements. As at June 30, 2015 and 2014,
the Company had no items that represent other comprehensive loss, and
therefore has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the
consolidated financial statements. |
|
|
|
|
n) |
Income Taxes |
|
|
|
|
|
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and
liability method in accordance with ASC 740, 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 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 ASC 718, Compensation Stock Based Compensation and ASC
505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, which requires the
measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated
fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors,
including stock options. |
|
|
|
|
|
ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of
share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The
Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of
determining fair value. This model is affected by the Companys stock
price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables.
These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Companys
expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual
and projected employee stock option exercise behaviours. The value of the
portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as
an expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss over the
requisite service period. |
|
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
p) |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
|
|
|
|
|
The Company has evaluated all recent accounting
pronouncements and determined that they would not have a material impact
on the Companys consolidated financial statements or
disclosures. |

|
|
As at June 30, 2015, the Company owed $540,697 (March 31,

deductions on unpaid salaries in Canada in the amount of $185,935 (March
31, 2015 - $164,365). The accrued amounts will be transferred to accounts

6. |
Forward Gold Sales Liability |
|
|
|
On January 23, 2014, the Company agreed to forward sell a
portion of its future gold production from the Kinyambwiga project (see
Note 8(a)) to finance the capital costs of establishing a gold
mine. |
|
|
|
During the year ended March 31, 2015, it was established
that the Company would not be able to meet the physical delivery terms for
the existing forward gold sales contracts in the foreseeable future (no
change in assessment as of June 30, 2015). As of March 31, 2015, an
aggregate amount of $103,269 received by the Company during the years
ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was reclassified from deferred revenue to
forward gold sales liability and accounted for as a derivative liability.
The Company made offers to the parties who forward purchased gold without
any penalty interest or common share convertibility clause to either
extend the delivery date under the contract, or settle an obligation in
common shares of the Company. As of June 30, 2015, all of the contracts
were extended for 12 months. |
|
|
|
A reconciliation of the changes in the forward gold sales
liability is as follows: |

The investments of subscribers for the forward gold sales
contracts are secured by in-ground gold assets. The Company also committed
to allocate a minimum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the initial gold
production from the Kunanga medium scale gold mining project and deliver
such gold to the subscribers for the forward gold sales contracts. In
addition, the Company has secured the contracts by issuing a pro rata
security chattel agreement over the mining license area granted to the
Company for the Kinyambwiga project. The pro rata portion securing the
purchaser will be based on the percentage of five million dollars that the
purchasers aggregate forward gold purchase in dollars represents of the
total. |
|
|
7. |
Note Payable |
|
|
|
On July 26, 2014, the Company signed a finance agreement
for $12,140 at an annual rate of 15.95% for an 11- month period, payable
in monthly installments of $1,104 for general liability insurance. On
October 20, 2014, the Company amended the agreement and financed an
additional $10,875 for directors and officers liability insurance. Total
monthly installment payments increased to $2,546. As at June 30, 2015, the
balance owing under the note payable was $Nil (March 31, 2015
$3,947). |

Commitments |
|
|
|
|
|
a) |
On May 11, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement
with a consultant for services as a Senior Geological Consultant. The
Companys original agreement was amended on October 21, 2010 and on
December 23, 2012. Under the amended agreement, the Company is committed
to: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
i. |
a monthly payment from $20,000 to $6,000 commencing July
1, 2012 and until the mechanical completion of the first small scale gold
mining operation; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
ii. |
issuing 300,000 stock options to the Consultant on
November 1, 2012 and 2013. The Company will only grant the Consultant the
additional stock options when the Company achieves a positive operating
cash flow and upon the approval by the board of
directors. |
|
b) |
On October 1, 2013, the Company entered into a consulting
agreement with Misac Noubar Nabighian (the Consultant) to provide
geophysical data processing and interpretation services to the Company in
consideration for 0.5% of the net proceeds from the sale of any mining
properties and granting the Consultant (a) a royalty on producing
properties of $1.00 per ounce of gold produced or 0.25% of net smelter
returns for all commercial production, whichever is greater, and (b) 0.25%
of net smelter returns for all other commercial production.The agreement
is for a term of 36 months and may be renewed at the option of the Company
upon 30 days written notice. |
|
|
|
|
c) |
During the years ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the
Company entered into forward gold sales agreements to sell a total of
112.37 oz of gold from the future gold production from the Kinyambwiga
project (see Note 6). Under these agreements, the Company committed to
deliver the specified quantities of gold with delivery dates ranging from
December 2014 through November 2015. As of June 30, 2015, all of the
delivery dates have been extended by 12 months. |

12. |
Commitments (continued) |
|
|
|
The forward gold sales agreements for 31.94 oz of gold
with delivery dates ranging from December 2014 through April 2015 have a
clause in the agreements whereby the Companys failure to meet the minimum
monthly production and monthly gold distribution schedules specified in
the agreements results in a penalty premium equal to the US Bond Interest
Rate per annum of the remaining balance of the distributable gold. As at
June 30, 2015, the Company did not accrue a penalty premium payable under
these agreements as the amount of penalties payable was minimal. The
remaining forward gold sales agreements entered into subsequent to March
31, 2014 and accounting for 80.43 oz do not have the clauses of the
interest penalty and the mandatory conversion into common stocks of the
Company. |
|
|
|
In addition, if the minimum production and gold
distribution schedules are not met for six months out of nine consecutive
months, the Company is required to convert the remaining gold deliverable
to common shares based on the 30-day weighted average market price of the
Companys stock. As at June 30, 2015, the Company was not yet required to
convert any gold deliverables into common stocks. |
|
|

Subsequent event |
|
|
|
On August 12, 2015 the Board of Directors approved the
cancellation of 750,000 stock options that were granted on February 13,
2015 with an exercise price of $0.06 per stock option expiring February
13, 2018. |

Recent Corporate Developments
Since the commencement of the three months period ended June
30, 2015, we experienced the following significant corporate developments:
|
1. |
Effective April 10, 2015, John Sutherland was appointed
as a member of the Board of Directors and as a member and Chairman of the
Companys Audit Committee. |
|
|
|
|
2. |
Effective April 10, 2015, David Webb resigned as a member
of the Board of Directors. Mr. Webbs resignation was not as a result of
any disagreement with the Company or with its board on any matter relating
to the Companys operations, policies or
practices. |
Our Current Business
We are an exploration stage corporation focused on acquiring,
exploring and developing gold deposits in Tanzania, East Africa. We hold 3
prospective gold projects, consisting of one mining license, 2 Prospecting
Licenses (PLs) and 43 Primary Mining Licenses (PMLs), within our Tanzania
property portfolio, covering approximately 32.71 square kilometers (8,083
acres).
Our main area of interest is acquiring, exploring and
evaluating mineral properties through our ongoing exploration program. Following
exploration, we intend to either advance them to a commercially feasible mining
stage, enter joint ventures to further develop these properties, sell or dispose
of them if the properties do not meet our requirements. Our properties are all
early stage exploration properties. Within our mineral exploration land in
Tanzania our focus is primarily on gold.
We have no revenues, we have incurred losses since inception
and we have relied upon the sale of our securities to fund operations. To date,
we have not discovered a NI43-101 compliant commercially viable ore body,
mineral deposit or mineral reserve on any of our properties and we will be
unable to do so until further exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation
concludes with an economic feasibility study or production is initiated However,
we have received environmental (EIA) approval and a Mining License to commence
gold mining on one of our gold projects mineralized target.
Assuming funding is available, we plan to develop and conduct
small-scale gold mining on selected mineral properties within certain areas that
are currently contained within our primary mining licenses and the Mining
License that we have. The production decision or significant development on
these projects will not be based on mineral reserves supported by an NI43-101
compliant technical report. We plan to secure Mining Licenses for each of these
potential mining areas.
We may interest other companies in our properties to either
participate by means of option or joint venture agreements in the exploration of
our properties or to finance and establish production on discovered
mineralization.
We maintain our registered agents office at The Corporation
Trust Company of Nevada, 6100 Neil Road, Suite 500, Reno, Nevada 89511 and our
business and administrative office is located at Suite 810 675 West Hastings
Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6B 1N2, Canada. Our telephone number is
303.586.1390.
Prospective Gold Projects
The following is a brief overview of portfolio of prospective
mineral properties, the exploration developments on them where applicable and
some of the details of the historical option agreements for them. During the
three months ended June 30, 2015, no exploration work was undertaken on any of
the projects.
Prospective Projects and Properties
The following map is a gold project location map (Map
1). For a detailed listing see Licenses Gold Projects and License
List.
Map 1: Gold Project Location Map
Musoma Bunda Murangi Gold Project
The Musoma Bunda Murangi Project is comprised of 1 Prospecting
and 1 Mining License, covering 9.12 and 5.12 square kilometers respectively.
No field exploration was undertaken during this reporting
period on the Kinyambwiga (PL4653/2007).
Exploration Strategy
The Prospecting License area now includes a Mining License, and
covers a total area 14.24 square kilometres. The southern part of the License
area, was largely covered by dark gray to black, clay rich soil and is underlain
by granitic
rocks with no known artisanal workings, was relinquished. The Company maintained the northern part of the License which is host to the Kanunga 1, 2 and 3 artisanal or small scale mine sites. The relinquished area is currently under application on
account of a soil anomaly in the NE corner of the License.
The relatively recent artisanal small scale mining site, located 1 kilometer along strike to the east of Kanunga 2, was abandoned by the artisanal miners. Furthermore, the artisanal miners that were mining the surface quartz rubble at Kanunga 3 in
the northern part of the license have ceased operations and have also left the site.
A scoping study covering metallurgical test work, mine planning, mine scheduling (details of which were included in the 1st Quarter Report 2013) and preliminary financial evaluations has been prepared. A capital investment of US$3M is an
estimated requirement for building the project.
Mine Planning
The Kanunga 1 Prospect consists of a small, conceptual gold target that is based on 40 meter spaced reverse circulation drill sections and trenches and may contain gold bearing mineralized material of between 600,000 and 1,000,000 tonnes. The
estimated gold grades are between 1.50 and 2.00 g/t. The mineralized area which lies in three vein structures at Kanunga 1, is within the first 150 and 200 meters of surface. Continuity of the narrow quartz veins appears to extend along a strike
length for about 500 meters.
The potential quantity and grade of these targets are conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral
resource. The conceptual target has been determined on the results of trenching, mapping, geophysics and both RC and RAB drilling.
It is currently proposed to mine the mineralization by open pit mining methods using an excavator and trucks to transport the ore to an onsite processing plant. A vertical test pit to a depth of 8 meters was excavated in granitic saprolite (host
rock) at site using a Caterpillar 320 excavator in a relatively short time of 3 hours. The results of the test pit proved good retaining rock wall strength, ease of excavation and the lack of ground water.
Mining License
The Environmental Impact Assessment (ESIA) report, completed by TANSHEQ, a local Tanzanian consulting firm specializing in Environmental Management, was submitted to the Tanzanian Government’s National Environmental Management Council (NEMC)
on the 2nd August 2013 and was approved on the 23rd December 2013. The company received the approved report on January 7th, 2014 (see news release dated January 9th, 2014). The Company has been awarded the Environmental Certificate of approval,
registration number EC/EIS/1106, issued under the Environmental Management Act No.20 of 2004 and signed by the Tanzanian Minister of Environment. The EIA Certificate is valid during the entire life cycle of the project based on the Company’s
compliance with the General and Specific Conditions of its issuance.
The Company has already completed the Mining and Processing License Application to cover not only the Kanunga Prospect but also the 39 amalgamated Primary Mining Licenses (PMLs) previously held by the Company’s Tanzanian subsidiary. The area,
totalling 5.12 square kilometers also includes the 2 other known gold occurrences at Kanunga 2 and 3. The Mining application was submitted to the Ministry of Energy and Minerals in January 2014 and a Mining License was granted in April 2014, and is
valid for an initial period of 10 years.
Future work
With the Mining and Processing application approval and a Mining License being awarded by the Ministry Energy and Minerals, the Company will be in a position to proceed with the proposed mine plan once the necessary funding has been obtained.
Singida Gold Project
No exploration work has been undertaken since 31st
March 2013.
Future exploration
An evaluation of the Reverse Circulation drill results for both
Phase 1 and 2 programs undertaken during 2010 and 2011 has shown that gold
mineralization at the Singida-Londoni project consists of narrow, medium to low
grade and often discontinuous lenses. The shear structures hosting the gold-rich
zones typically pinch and swell along strike, which in places, has resulted in
larger pods of limited size as at Sambaru 3 and Sambaru 4 which indicates that
the gold deposits have limited potential to be developed into a major ore
resource contrary to the Companys vision of discovering substantially larger
and economically viable gold deposits in the short term. In this regard, the
Company believes that the nature and extent of the mineralization revealed thus
far may lend itself towards a small-scale commercial mining operation. The
Company intends to explore the possibilities of undertaking a small scale mining
operation on a number of PMLs once a scoping study has been completed.
Although the Company completed a Technical report in compliance
with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 prior to the September 2010 revised NI
43-101 code, the report was not submitted. Plans call for the report to be
prepared under the revised NI 43-101 guidelines.
Buhemba Gold Projects: Kiabakari East
(PL7142/2011)
The Kiabakari East Project is located approximately 55
kilometers southeast of Musoma town, in the Mara Region. The PL, covering 14.94
square kilometers and lying within the central part of the Musoma-Mara
Greenstone Belt, was granted to Lake Victoria Resources by the Ministry of Mines
in April 2011.
Future exploration
Metallurgical test work is to be undertaken on the oxide rock material taken from artisanal workings and from surface
trenches as part of the scoping study. This tese work will help determine the viability of commencing an open
pit/underground small scale mining operation at BIF Hill. Due to the moderate to steep easterly plunge of the gold
a follow-up reverse circulation drill program has limited potential other than to evaluate a near surface resource and
be unable to test east plunging down-dip extensions of the gold ore shoot. A substantial diamond drill program will be
required to evaluate the easterly down plunging gold mineralization.
In order to obtain short term revenue for the project, a small scale open pit mining operation could be possible once an
RC drill program has defined a near surface gold resource. Alternatively, in order to get a better understanding of the
geology and gold mineralization, the Company could consider developing a north trending underground adit from the
southern side at the base of the hill.
Handeni Gold Project
The Handeni Project, comprising of the Mkulima East Prospect
(PL7148/2011) and covering a total area of 12.03 square kilometers, is located
approximately 240 kilometers by road north-west of Dar es Salaam and some 30
kilometers south of Handeni town within the Handeni District. In 2015, the
license was relinquished to the Tanzania Ministry of Energy and Minerals.
General
The following is a discussion and analysis of our plan of
operation and results of operations for the three month period ended June 30,
2015, and the factors that could affect our future financial condition. This
discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated
unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this
quarterly report. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. All
references to dollar amounts in this section are in United States dollars unless
expressly stated otherwise.
Plan of Operation
As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately cash of $49,000 and
working deficit of $1,783,000. We plan to spend approximately $400,000 for
property compensation and $2,000,000 for development and production of small
scale mining in Kinyambwiga project. We will need to raise additional funds to
finance the activities on our projects. There is no assurance that such
financing would be available at this time.
In September 2012, the Company offered a total of up to 120
royalty units to raise a gross amount of $3,000,000 for a small scale mining
operation on the Kinyambwiga property. Each unit will entitle investors to
receive ½ of 1 percent (1%) of the net proceeds of production from the small
scale mining operation at Kinyambwiga. Up to 60% of the net proceeds of gold
production are offered to investors. As of June 30, 2015 the Company received
subscription payments of $1,125,000 for 45 units.
Our estimated expenses over the next twelve months are as
follows:

There is no historical financial information about us upon
which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage
corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot
guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is
subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise,
including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our
properties, possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases for services
and economic conditions. Because we do not currently derive any production
revenue from operations, its ability to conduct exploration and development on
properties is largely based upon its ability to raise capital by equity
funding.
Our exploration objective is to find an economic mineral body
containing gold. Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. This
includes a determination by our contracted consultants and professional staff
whether the property contains resources and/or reserves. Mineralized material is
a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriately spaced drilling
or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average percentage
grade of metals to justify removal. If we dont find mineralized material or we
cannot remove mineralized material, either because we do not have the money to
do so or because it is not economically feasible to do so, we will cease
operations or seek other properties.
In addition, we may not have enough capital to complete
exploration of our properties. If we have not raised sufficient funds to
complete our exploration program, we will try to raise additional funds from
another equity or debt offering or rely on loans from shareholders. If we
require additional funds and are unable to raise the required amounts, we will
have to suspend or cease operations until we succeed in raising the additional
funds.

General and Administrative Expenses
The Company reported a loss of $320,979 for the three months
ended June 30, 2015 compared with a loss of $307,517 for same period in fiscal
2014. The increased loss in the current period is mainly attributed to stock
options compensation cost.
The $45,093 decrease in our general and administrative expenses
for the three month period ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period in
fiscal 2014 was primarily due to the decrease in office rent, communication
expenses, promotion and shareholder relationship expenses.

of 1,682,704 as of March 31, 2015. We anticipate that we will incur
approximately $3,000,000 for operating expenses, including professional, legal
and accounting expenses associated with our reporting requirements under the
Exchange Act during the next twelve months. Accordingly, we will need to obtain
additional financing in order to complete our full business plan.
Going Concern
The unaudited financial statements accompanying our quarterly
report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 have been prepared on a
going concern basis, which implies that our company will continue to realize its
assets
and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our company has not generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate future.
The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, the ability of our company to obtain necessary equity financing to achieve our operating objectives, and the attainment of
profitable operations. As of June 30, 2015, we had a cash balance of approximately $49,000 and we estimate that we will require approximately $500,000 for general and administration costs and professional fees, and $400,000 for property
compensations and holding and small-scale mining evaluation, development and production costs associated with our plan of operation over the next twelve months. We do not have sufficient funds for general and administration activities and planned
mineral property acquisition and exploration activities and therefore we will be required to raise additional funds. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or that it can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company
and its shareholders.
The advancement 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.
Future Financings
We had a cash balance of approximately $49,000 and we estimate that we will require approximately $500,000 for general and administration costs and professional fees, and $400,000 for property compensation and acquisition holding and
small-scale mining evaluation, development and production costs associated with our plan of operation over the next twelve months. Accordingly, we do not have sufficient funds for planned operations and we will be required to raise additional funds
for operations. We intend to raise additional funds from another equity offering or loans. At the present time, we are attempting to raise additional money, but there is no assurance that we will be successful. If we need additional funds and are
unable to raise them, we will have to suspend or cease operations until we succeed in raising additional funds.

As of August 14, 2015, we have 152,329,067 shares of common stock outstanding, 9,400,000 stock options outstanding.
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 are material to stockholders.
Risks and Uncertainties
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 and 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”.
Risks Associated with Mining
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 as defined by NI43-101 regulations and the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7, 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.
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.
Our business activities are conducted in Tanzania.
Our mineral exploration activities in Tanzania may be affected in varying degrees by political stability and government regulations relating to the mining industry and foreign investment in that country. The government of Tanzania may institute
regulatory policies that adversely affect the exploration and development of properties. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions in this country are beyond our control and may adversely affect our business. Investors should
assess the political and regulatory risks related to our foreign country investments. Our operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, foreign
exchange controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety.
We may not have clear title to our properties.
Acquisition of title to mineral properties is a very detailed and time-consuming process, and titles to our properties may be affected by prior unregistered agreements or transfers, or undetected defects. Several of our prospecting licenses are
currently subject to renewal by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals of Tanzania. As a result, there is a risk that we may not have clear title to all our mineral property interests, or they may be subject to challenge or impugned in the future.
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 involve 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 nor do we expect to get such insurance for the foreseeable future. If a hazard were to occur, the costs of rectifying the hazard may exceed our asset value and cause us to
liquidate all of our assets, resulting in the loss of your entire investment in 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.
If our costs of exploration are greater than anticipated, then we may not be able to complete the exploration program for our Tanzanian properties without additional financing, of which there is no assurance that we would be able to obtain.
We are proceeding with the initial stages of exploration on our Tanzanian properties. We are carrying out an exploration program that has been recommended by a consulting geologist. This exploration program outlines a budget for completion of the
recommended exploration program. However, there is no assurance that our actual costs will not exceed the budgeted costs. Factors that could cause actual costs to exceed budgeted costs include increased prices due to competition for personnel and
supplies during the exploration season, unanticipated problems in completing the exploration program and delays experienced in completing the exploration program. Increases in exploration costs could result in our not being able to carry out our
exploration program without additional financing. There is no assurance that we would be able to obtain additional financing in this event.
Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mining properties, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and our business will fail.
We are in the initial stage of exploration of our mineral property, and thus have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be successful in establishing commercially exploitable reserves of gold, silver or other valuable minerals on our
Tanzanian properties.
The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We may not find commercially exploitable reserves of gold, silver or other valuable minerals in our mineral property. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily
involving substantial risk. The expenditures to be made by us on our exploration program may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of ore. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties,
complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result
in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.
Cost estimates and timing of our Kinyambwiga small scale mining project and new projects is uncertain, which may adversely affect our expected production and profitability.
The capital expenditures and time required to develop and explore our properties are considerable and changes in costs, construction schedules or both, can adversely affect project economics and expected production and profitability. There are a
number of factors that can affect costs and construction schedules, including, among others:
-
changes in input commodity prices and labor costs;
-
availability and terms of financing;
-
availability of labor, energy, transportation, equipment, and infrastructure;
-
fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
-
changes in anticipated tonnage, grade and metallurgical characteristics of the rock to be mined and processed;
-
recovery rates of gold and other metals from the ore;
-
difficulty of estimating construction costs over a period of years;
-
weather and severe climate impacts; and
-
potential delays related to social and community issues.
Mineralized targets and other mineralized material calculations are estimates only, and are subject to uncertainty due to factors including metal prices, inherent variability of the mineralized rock and recoverability of metal in the
mining process. The calculation of mineral mineralized targets, other mineralized material and grading are estimates and depend upon geological interpretation and statistical inferences or assumptions drawn from drilling and sampling analysis,
which may prove to be unpredictable.
There is a degree of uncertainty attributable to the calculation of mineralized targets and corresponding grades. Until mineralized targets and other mineralized materials are actually mined and processed, the quantity of mineralization and grades
must be considered as an estimate only. In addition, the quantity of mineralized targets and other mineralized materials may vary depending on metal prices, which largely determine whether mineralized targets and other mineralized materials are
classified as potentially economic(economic to mine) or waste (uneconomic to mine). A decline in metal prices may result in previously reported mineralized targets becoming uneconomic to mine (waste). Any material change in the quantity of
mineralized targets, other mineralized materials, mineralization, grade or stripping ratio may affect the economic viability of our properties. In addition, we can provide no assurance that gold
recoveries or other metal recoveries experienced in small- scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in larger scale tests under on-site conditions or during production.
We may not achieve our production and/or sales estimates and our costs may be higher than our estimates, thereby reducing our cash flows and negatively impacting our results of operations.
We prepare estimates of future production, sales, and costs for our operations. We develop our estimates based on, among other things, mining experience, mineralized targets and other mineralized material estimates, assumptions regarding ground
conditions and physical characteristics of ores (such as hardness and presence or absence of certain metallurgical characteristics) and estimated rates and costs of mining and processing. All of our estimates are subject to numerous uncertainties,
many of which are beyond our control. Our actual production and/or sales may be lower than our estimates and our actual costs may be higher than our estimates, which could negatively impact our cash flows and results of operations. While we believe
that our estimates are reasonable at the time they are made, actual results will vary and such variations may be material. These estimates are necessarily speculative in nature, and it may be the case that one or more of the assumptions underlying
such projections and estimates may not materialize. Investors in our common stock are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the projections and estimates set forth in this Form 10-Q.
Because our executive officers have limited experience in mineral exploration and do not have formal training specific to the technicalities of mineral exploration, there is a higher risk that our business will fail.
Our executive officers have limited experience in mineral exploration and do not have formal training as geologists or in the technical aspects of management of a mineral resource exploration company. As a result of this inexperience, there is a
higher risk of our being unable to complete our business plan for the exploration of our mineral property. With no direct training or experience in these areas, our management may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to
working within this industry. Our decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral resource exploration companies commonly use. Consequently, the lack of training and experience of our management
in this industry could result in management making decisions that could result in a reduced likelihood of our being able to locate commercially exploitable reserves on our mineral property with the result that we would not be able to achieve
revenues or raise further financing to continue exploration activities. In addition, we will have to rely on the technical services of others with expertise in geological exploration in order for us to carry out our planned exploration program. If
we are unable to contract for the services of such individuals, it will make it difficult and maybe impossible to pursue our business plan. There is thus a higher risk that our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer
irreparable harm and our business will likely fail.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result in the dilution of our existing shareholders.
Our articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 250,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.00001 per share. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or
to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares will reduce the book value and market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuance will reduce the
proportionate ownership and voting power of all current shareholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our corporation.
Our common stock is illiquid and shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.
There is currently a limited market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance to investors that a market will develop. If a market for our common stock does not develop, our shareholders may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common
stock that they have purchased and they may lose all of their investment. Public announcements regarding our company, changes in government regulations, conditions in our market segment or changes in earnings estimates by analysts may cause the
price of our common shares to fluctuate substantially. In addition, stock prices for junior mineral exploration companies fluctuate widely for reasons that may be unrelated to their operating results. These fluctuations may adversely affect the
trading price of our common shares.
Penny stock rules will limit the ability of our stockholders to sell their stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define “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 Securities and
Exchange Commission 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.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA 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, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA 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 and have an adverse effect on the market for its shares.
Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.
Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of our development. We are engaged in the business of identifying, acquiring, exploring and developing commercial reserves of
primarily gold. Our properties are in the exploration stage only although we have achieved environmental (EIA) approval and a Mining License to commence gold mining on the mineralized target in one of our gold projects. This project is not a
compliant gold reserve as defined by Canadian NI43-101 regulations or the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7. We have not generated any revenues nor have we realized a profit from our operations to date. Any profitability in
the future from our business will be dependent upon locating and developing economic reserves of gold, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth herein. Since we have not generated any revenues, we will have to raise additional
monies through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to continue our business operations.
We do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of our company.
We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit
the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock’s price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment
in our company.
Risks Related to Our Company
Our by-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and directors.
Our by-laws provide the indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent legally permissible under the Nevada corporate law against all expenses, liability and loss reasonably incurred or suffered by them in connection with any
action, suit or proceeding. Furthermore, our by-laws provide that our board of directors may cause our company to purchase and maintain insurance for our directors and officers, and we have implemented director and officer insurance coverage.
Because most of our directors and officers are residents of other countries other than the United States, investors may find it difficult to enforce, within the United States, any judgments obtained against our directors and officers.
Most of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons’ assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for
investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated our company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, these disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by our company in reports it files or submits under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities Exchange Commission and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
company’s management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The conclusion that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective was due to
the presence of the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting which are indicative of many small companies with small staff: (i) inadequate segregation of duties and effective risk assessment; and (ii) insufficient
written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of both United States generally accepted accounting principles and Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Management
anticipates that such disclosure controls and procedures will not be effective until the material weaknesses are remediated.
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal controls over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above.
To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, subject to obtaining additional financing: (i) appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties
and ineffective risk management; and (ii) adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. The remediation efforts set out above are largely dependent upon our securing additional financing to cover the costs
of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
It should be noted that while our management believes our disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable level of assurance, they do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls will prevent all error and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are
resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances
of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations
include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more
people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of internal control is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving
its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a
cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three month period ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
