Relevant
Operating History.
Following the change of control
that brought the Company into the mineral and mining business, on March 1, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the total shares outstanding
of Goldfield International, Inc. (“Goldfield”) in exchange for issuing 2,000,000 shares of its common stock. The acquisition
was based on the fair value of the shares issued amounting to $900,000. During the time that Goldfield was owned by the Company, the two
companies consolidated financial statements and eliminated all material intercompany transactions. Goldfield was in the business of manufacturing
gold mining equipment.
On January 1, 2015, the Company
entered into a Security Agreement with the managers of Goldfield to settle various outstanding financial matters, including but not limited
to promissory notes that had been issued to reimburse the parties for loans that they had made to cover operational costs that were secured
by the assets of Goldfield.
In June 2015, the Company entered
into a joint venture agreement with MEK Mining (“MEK”) to mine gold ore on leased acreage in Ghana. For $150,000, the Company
acquired a fifty (50%) percent interest in the joint venture which has a twenty (20%) percent participation interest in the production
and
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 9 |
sale of the indicated gold ore. The Company accounted
for its investment in MEK under the equity method pursuant to ASC Topic 323-30. This operation was in production during 2015 until government
regulations were changed and mining in Ghana was shut down. MEK is based out of Russia, and despite there being no direct U.S. sanctions
targeting Russia's precious metals mining sector, U.S. companies operating in or engaging within this sector faced a complex array of
challenges, such as sanctions levelled against key Russian figures and entities, heightened geopolitical tensions, reputational considerations,
and operational hurdles arising from broader international sanctions. These factors collectively influenced decisions for many companies,
including MineralRite, to cease mining activities in Russia or to sever business ties with Russian companies involved in the precious
metals industry. The MEK project was terminated, and the Company’s investment was written off pursuant to ASC Topic 205-20 “Discontinued
Operations”.
On July 15, 2015, pursuant to
the aforementioned Security Agreement dated January 1, 2015, the Company transferred the legal entity, the equipment manufacturing operations,
including related assets and liabilities, to the managers of Goldfield in exchange for the cancellation of the promissory notes that had
been issued to the parties, the assumption of various Goldfield related liabilities, and the return of 17,500 shares of Series B preferred
that had been exchanged (on July 10, 2014) for the common shares that had been issued (on October 30, 2012) as payment for the services
the managers would be performing pursuant to the acquisition of Goldfield. For financial statement presentation purposes, the equipment
manufacturing activities for 2015, and assets and liabilities directly relating to the operation, were accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic
205-20 “Discontinued Operations”.
On February 16, 2018, the Company
filed Form 15 - Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration Under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or
Suspension of Duty to File Reports Under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the SEC and officially terminated
its requirement to timely file reports.
On April 7, 2021, the Company
filed a Certificate of Merger with the Texas Secretary of State to effectuate an F Reorganization Merger Re-domicile whereby the Company
was merged into Southern Cars & Trucks, Inc. (the survivor) pursuant to the Plan of Merger and in the process (a) adopted a Certificate
of Formation synonymous with those of the predecessor Nevada entity, as adjusted for state specific language; (b) adopted a capital structure
synonymous with that of the predecessor Nevada entity with three notable exceptions: (i) the number of authorized shares of common stock
was set at twenty billion (20,000,000,000) shares; (ii) the par value of all classes and series of stock was set at no par value; and
(iii) the voting and conversion rights of the Series C Preferred stock was adjusted such that one (1) share of Series C Preferred stock
was awarded 400,000 votes and was convertible into 400,000 shares of common stock which aligned the capital structure to the contractual
rights under which the outstanding shares had been issued; (c) changed its name to MineralRite Corporation; and (d) cancelled the outstanding
share of Southern Cars & Trucks, Inc. Because the sole officer and sole director of MineralRite Corporation (Nevada) was also the
sole officer and sole director of Southern Cars & Trucks, Inc.; and because the shares of MineralRite Corporation were exchanged 1-for-1
with the shares of Southern Cars & Trucks, Inc.; and because all of the assets and liabilities of MineralRite were transferred to
Southern Cars & Trucks, Inc., the transaction was accounted for as an F Reorganization Merger Re-domicile. Coincident with this change,
the Company also changed its principal address to 539 W. Commerce St. #1838, Dallas Texas 75208.
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 10 |
Upon completing the 2021 F Reorganization
Merger Re-domicile, the Company continued to pursue merger acquisition candidate negotiations while simultaneously working to bring the
Company current. It was during this period of time that the Company’s current president, and others, were first engaged as consultants
by the Company.
On October 25, 2023, the Company’s
current president executed an option with the Company’s former president to purchase the former president’s holdings in the
Company. Under the terms of that option, the Company’s current president was immediately granted voting rights to those holdings.
Coincident with that action, the former president resigned his position as sole member of the Company's Board of Directors and, in accordance
with the Company’s terms of corporate governance, installed the Company’s current president as his replacement to serve out
the remainder of his term on the Board thereby effectuating a Change of Control. Subsequent to these actions, the Company’s current
president was installed as acting president of the Company; and since that time, his role has been upgraded to president of the Company.
Current
Operations.
Immediately upon assuming his
role, RITE’s current president undertook a thorough examination and analysis of the Company’s books and records so that he
would be able to attest to the accuracy of the Company’s financial statements and other corporate representations that his role
as president would require him to make on behalf of the Company. In this undertaking he also engaged legal, accounting and other professionals
to work with him when and as needed. As issues were discovered, requisite filings and adjustments were made accordingly. The expectation
was that this clean-up process would be fully completed by December 31, 2024, and it was, allowing the Company to once again be able to
present audited books and records accordingly.
On November 1, 2023, the Company’s
Board of Directors officially engaged the Company’s current president as interim president.
On November 6, 2023, and November
9, 2023, the Company’s current president, at the request of the Company’s former president, executed options to purchase the
holdings of two of the former president’s associates under terms similar to those embodied in the aforementioned option contract
between the Company’s current president and former president.
On December 1, 2023, the Company’s
Board of Directors officially engaged the Company’s current president as president of the Company. On or about the same time, the
Company changed its principal address to 325 N. St. Paul Street, Suite 3100, Dallas TX 75201.
In the months that followed, while
the aforementioned examination, analysis and clean-up was underway, the Company built a new website; updated several jurisdictional filings
with the Texas Secretary of State; completed a Crafted Precious Metal Dealer Registration in the State of Texas; passed compliance with
various precious metal refineries and opened accounts with those entities; applied to OTCMarkets.com to recognize the Change of Control
that the Company had undergone when the Company’s current president
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 11 |
replaced the former president; filed a Corporate Action
Case with FINRA regarding the Company’s April 7, 2021, F Reorganization Merger Re-domicile change; and engaged legal, accounting
and other professionals to perform various tasks.
During the first quarter of 2024,
which ended on March 31, 2024, the Company entered into two contracts with the current owners of its former subsidiary, Goldfield. The
first contract provided for the purchase of certain intellectual property rights, and the second contract provided for the acquisition
of inventory and equipment. Since completing these purchases, the Company has engaged CAD-CAM designers and equipment specialists to re-design
and upscale the products and streamline production. This will allow the Company to focus its efforts on equipment sales and related services,
and facilitate third-party equipment manufacture and fulfillment. The Company expects that equipment sales will also open doors to related
revenue streams such as consulting services, off-take agreements, project financing and property acquisitions; all of which fit into the
Company's long-term strategic development plans.
As of the close of the first quarter
of 2024, the Change of Control application with OTCMarkets.com and the Corporate Actions Case with FINRA regarding the April 7, 2021,
F Reorganization Merger Re-Domicile change, were both still pending.
On or around April 5, 2024, the
Company’s Change of Control application with OTC Markets was completed and approved.
During the month of June 2024,
the Company obtained legal opinions it sought in support of its position to (i) derecognize $763,377.50 of time-barred obligations; (ii)
exchange previously issued convertible obligations, in the original amount of $137,499, into 2,750 fully paid warrants to purchase 2,750
shares of Series C convertible preferred stock pursuant to Section 3(a)9; (iii) reclaim 9,544,690 common shares which had previously been
issued; and (iv) release shares which were being held in certain segregated reserve accounts at the Company’s transfer agent on
behalf of former convertible bond holders.
As of the close of the second
quarter of 2024, the Corporate Actions Case with FINRA regarding the April 7, 2021, F Reorganization Merger Re-Domicile change, was still
pending.
During the third quarter of 2024,
the Company engaged and completed a PCAOB audit for the accounting periods ending December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.
During the month of September
2024, the Company filed an Application for Revocation of the Cease Trade Order with the Alberta Securities Commission. The Cease Trade
Order had been previously entered against the Company on June 28, 2013, by the Alberta Securities Commission for failure to file certain
periodic disclosure documents with the Commission, for the periods ending September 30, 2012, December 31, 2012, and March 31, 2013. As
of the close of the third quarter of 2024, this application was still pending.
As of the close of the third quarter
of 2024, the Corporate Actions Case with FINRA regarding the April 7, 2021, F Reorganization Merger Re-Domicile change, was still pending.

On December 31, 2024, the Company
executed a binding Letter of Intent with NMC, Inc. (“NMC”), a Nevada corporation; and shortly thereafter, a Definitive Agreement
was executed. Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement, RITE acquired NMC’s two wholly owned subsidiaries. These subsidiaries
hold certain mineral and mining assets and collectively have an audited book value of $432 million. In return, RITE issued and transferred
to NMC approximately six million nine hundred thousand (6,900,000) shares of a newly created class of preferred stock denoted as RITE
Series NMC $25 convertible preferred stock (“RITE Series NMC”), six million nine hundred thousand (6,900,000) warrants, and
assumed roughly $5 million in NMC’s outstanding liabilities.
Each share of RITE Series NMC
is subject to redemption by a sinking fund, or at the option of the holder, convertible into five hundred (500) shares of RITE common
stock. Additionally, each warrant allows the holder to buy five hundred (500) shares of RITE common stock for $15.
The sinking fund provides the
holders of the RITE Series NMC with a means to liquidate their shares for a set dollar amount at a premium to par value. This premium
grows at the rate of five (5%) percent per annum and is subject to a floor price of $25.40. Holders of the RITE Series NMC shares may,
in lieu of redemption, opt to convert their RITE Series NMC shares into shares of RITE common stock at the rate of one (1) share of RITE
Series NMC for five hundred (500) shares of RITE common stock.
RITE Series NMC $25 convertible
preferred stock is given a direct senior claim against the assets held in, and the revenue generated by, the two subsidiaries that RITE
acquired from NMC in the afore described transaction until such time as (a) the sinking fund has redeemed all shares of RITE Series NMC
$25 convertible preferred stock, or (b) the RITE Series NMC shares have been converted into RITE common shares in lieu of redemption through
the sinking fund.
Subsequent to the execution of
the Definitive Agreement, the Company began the process to expand its Board of Directors from a one-member Board to a five-member Board.
Pursuant to Article 2 of the Company’s Bylaws, the Board has the authority to Change the Number of Directors (2.05) and to fill
Vacancies (2.07) on the Board until the next election It is the intention of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, James Burgauer, to
appoint four (4) additional board members. A list of potential candidates is presently being vetted.
Pursuant to Section 2.05 Change

On January 14, 2025, the Company
created RITE Precious Metals LLC, a Michigan limited liability company in anticipation of engaging in matched precious metal purchases
and sales activities after having been approached by an international funding source. Discussions are presently ongoing with the funding
source. It is the present intention of the Company to offer the funders non-convertible preferred shares subject to a sinking fund; warrants
to acquire a limited number of shares of common stock; and a profit-sharing arrangement for a limited period of time. The Company believes
that this approach will limit the dilution for the current holders of the Company’s common stock. The Company expects that, if this
project proceeds, funds will be raised pursuant to a Regulation S offering.
As with most development stage
companies, MineralRite Corporation continues to seek funding and partners for operations and growth. The Company continues to actively
seek mining and mineral acquisitions, direct income mine and mineral royalty acquisitions, and reverse merger opportunities within the
mineral and mining space and in complementary or related businesses. There can be no assurance that acquisitions will be found, or that
additional financing will be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available
on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to fund its operations, and such inability to fund operations will have a materially
adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial conditions.
The accompanying consolidated
financials of the Company have been adjusted to reflect the changes to the number of shares authorized and outstanding, per-share amounts,
stock splits, share reclamations, derecognition of time-barred obligations, Section 3(a)9 conversions and other legal and accounting events
which have been described herein and/or can be found in the Company’s books and records.
The Company’s
Existing and Planned Business Expansion.
The Company’s principal
focus is on:
| ● | Mining and Mineral Management; |
| ● | Liberation of the Values contained in mineral property assets. |
The Company is also involved in
adjunct activities that support its primary product lines, including but not limited to:
| ● | the manufacture and sale of mining equipment, which has the added benefit
of generating sales leads for the Company’s other services such as off-take contracts; and |
| ● | matched precious metal purchases and sales activities, which helps grow
the Company’s customer base enhancing its ability to liquidate its own internally generated metal. |
To drive economic value and growth,
the Company actively seeks underutilized, undervalued and untapped mineral resources and feedstocks for its mining, remediation and recycling
businesses. Wherever possible, the Company seeks remediation projects and endeavors to apply technical innovation to enhance processing
efficiency. All of these activities serve to further the Company’s ultimate goal which is the
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 14 |
realization and liberation of the economic potential
of mineral assets while simultaneously ameliorating the environmental and social impact that often emanates from mineral recovery operations.
From an operational point of view,
the Company’s principal business activities break out as follows:
| ● | RITE’s Mineral Management operations
are focused on the creation and growth of a Mineral Portfolio consisting of unexploited, underdeveloped or undervalued mineral
assets - through mergers, direct acquisitions, processing agreements, classic joint venture models, or royalty agreements. |
Day-to-day activities in the Mineral Management
operating group include but are not limited to:
| o | reviewing, identifying and analyzing potential mineral asset acquisition opportunities which the Company
receives from multiple sources including trade publication websites and industry shedders (specialists in buyers for properties that other
mining companies have chosen to not-pursue); |
| o | proposing, analyzing and negotiating deal structures ranging from direct acquisitions to royalty agreements;
and |
| o | managing the resulting business arrangements to ensure that the Company’s is properly fulfilling
its obligations under its agreements. |
More information on this topic can be found
below in the section entitled Minerals and Mining Business.
| ● | RITE’s Mining, Milling & Processing
operations focus on the build-out and scale-up of mineral processing facilities to target the high-value precious metals found in RITE’s
Mineral Portfolio. RITE and its internationally known joint venture partners then use emerging 21st Century technologies to achieve
efficient, sustainable processing, tailored to each specific project. |
Day-to-day activities in the Mining, Milling
& Processing operating group include but are not limited to:
| o | identifying the specific JV partner who will become responsible for managing ground operations; and arranging
for the requisite project funding; |
| o | engaging and coordinating with the chosen JV partner who is engaged to handle ground operations; developing
the preliminary mining plan, including analyzing and characterizing the ore body; engaging in preliminary site sampling and lab analysis
of those collected site samples; obtaining the required permits and regulatory compliance approvals; developing and documenting the final
Mine Operation Plan (“MOP”); procuring the equipment; installing and commissioning the equipment; milling and processing the
host ore into concentrates; refining the concentrates into doré; managing logistics; and liquidating the high-value precious metals;
and |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 15 |
| o | managing the JV partner and off-take buyer(s) and the associated business arrangements to ensure that
the Company’s is properly fulfilling its obligations under its agreements. |
More information on this topic can be found
below in the section entitled Minerals and Mining Business.
| ● | RITE’s
Acquisition, Recycling, Management & Liquidation operations,
conducted as a principal in the metal supply Chain of Custody, are focused on the acquisition,
management and sale of both previously refined hallmarked bullion products1, as
well as newly mined, roughly refined precious metals, often referred to as doré, that
are generated from RITE’s Mineral Portfolio or acquired from other sources. |
Day-to-day activities
in the Acquisition, Recycling, Management & Liquidation operating group include, but are not limited to:
| o | reviewing, identifying and analyzing potential high-value precious metal industry contra-party, be they
suppliers (sellers) or off-take buyers (purchasers), with whom the Company would like to engage in business; |
| o | conducting rigorous initial investigation, and regular reviews, to ensure that all aspects the Company’s
own high-value precious metals business and that of its contra-party’s or potential contra-party’s business meet and remain
fully compliant with all domestic and international statutes, regulations and rules and the Company’s policies, procedures and internal
controls concerning Know Your Customer (“KYC”), Chain-of-Custody (“COC”), Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”),
and Combating Financial Terrorism (“CFT”); |
| o | negotiating transaction terms with the contra-party’s and potential contra-party’s that pass
the Company’s rigorous compliance regimens; and contracting with them; and |
| o | managing, in its capacity as a principal, the inspection, acquisition, logistics, security, refining,
disposition, liquidation and payment of the high-value precious metals that the Company is purchasing and selling. |

Manufacture
and Sale of Mining Equipment.
Equipment Manufacturing Business.
In March 2013, the Company acquired
Goldfield International, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Goldfield”) in exchange for a combination of stock and cash. At the time,
Goldfield was one of the largest

manufacturers of professional
alluvial gold, diamond and other gemstone recovery equipment in the United States, having been in business since 1976. Goldfield also
designed and manufactured equipment for environmental clean-up projects, including barges, clarifiers, lead recovery systems, dryers,
conveyors and hoppers and other mechanical equipment. Goldfield equipment had, by that time, already been deployed in 32 countries on
6 continents.
The
acquisition of Goldfield was the Company’s first foray into mineral processing and certification operations. Despite the Company’s
high hopes to parlay this acquisition into a profitable business venture, based on the product line’s superior design, quality
construction, and in situ performance, it quickly became apparent that management lacked the requisite expertise to streamline production
enough to remain price competitive in the market as compared to other domestic and foreign manufacturers. By June 2015, Goldfield was
spun-off to the production management team in exchange for the return of stock and cash. Soon thereafter, Goldfield’s management
was forced to close their doors and the company ceased to exist.
In February 2024, the Company
approached the owners of Goldfield’s intellectual property and repurchased the rights to manufacture certain pieces of equipment
in exchange for a nominal amount of stock. In March 2024, that purchase was expanded to include certain equipment and parts inventory
in exchange for an additional nominal amount of stock. At present, the Company is devoting only a modest amount of resources to the project
of uploading and upgrading that intellectual property into state-of-the-art computer aided design (“CAD”) and computer aided
manufacturing (“CAM”) systems. When complete, the Company will have the improved ability to redesign the equipment as needed.
The Company intends to outsource production and shipping to third-party manufactures, allowing it to concentrate its efforts on the consulting,
sales, and off-take segments of the marketplace.
The Company intends to limit equipment
manufacturing to two key components of the former Goldfield product line: a re-designed, combination version, of the old Prospector and
Explorer units, which is a field based, water powered, portable wash plant, with optional jig upgrades, that is used for sampling and
small-scale production; and the GoldTron table, which is a finishing table used by miners to separate heavy fines from lighter fines that
is used to increase the concentration of precious metals in the doré production process. Additionally, the Company intends to license
a portable pulverizing unit which miners use to liberate precious metals from the host rock.
Customers for the Equipment
Manufacturing Business.
Customers of the original Goldfield
brand of equipment included a multitude of alluvial mining operators from around the world that were engaged in the mining of silver,
gold, platinum group, other minerals and precious gemstones. The Company expects its redesigned product line to appeal to the same general
group of mining companies, though efforts will be made to target smaller operators who may have need for other services such as off-take
contracts. The Company is not dependent upon any one customer or any one group of customers. In fact, the Company intends to use the equipment
manufacturing business primarily as a lead generation mechanism to support the growth of its other lines of business.
Competition in the Equipment
Manufacturing Business.
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 17 |
The Company faces competition
from several domestic and foreign alluvial mining equipment manufacturers, including but not limited to: Gold Claimer Brand, GSI Mining
Systems, Keene Engineering, MSI Mining Equipment, Oro Industries, Placer Mining Equipment Worldwide and multiple Chinese manufacturers
such as BinQ. Methods of competition are diverse and include product design and performance, service, delivery, application engineering,
pricing, financing terms and other commercial factors.
Matched
Precious Metal Purchases and Sales Activities.
Matched Precious Metal Purchase and Sale Business.
In January 2024, the Company decided
to engage in the business of matched purchase-and-sale of precious metals. Matched precious metal purchase-and-sale activities are well
known to Company management since they engaged in that business for years prior to their affiliation with MineralRite.
To start this process, the Company
registered as a Crafted Precious Metals Dealer with the Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner of the State of Texas. Concurrent with
that registration, the Company established and memorialized its Anti-Money Laundering – Combating the Financing of Terrorism (“AML-CFT”)
policy so it could begin the registration process that is required to establish accounts with industry leading precious metal refineries
All entities engaged in the precious
metals business must complete and pass AML-CFT compliance with each and every entity with whom they choose to conduct business –
pursuant to Treasury Regulations, The Patriot Act, the Dodd-Frank Act, etc. Establishing and memorializing an AML-CFT policy is merely
the starting point from which industry participants exchange and vet each other. Other such documents include applications, due diligence
and compliance packages that fully describe the industry participants’ sources from which precious metals are and will be obtained,
(e.g. a mine, a tailings pile, an industrial reverb, a recycled material or otherwise). Similarly, industry participants must also pass
compliance on the source of the funds that they use to conduct their daily business, to ensure that funds emanate only from clean, non-criminal
origins. Passing compliance with other industry participants is an arduous, time-consuming process, which is expected to take a minimum
of 5 to 10 business days per refinery relationship; but in the Company’s case, approvals have typically been granted in less than
one day from the point in time that the refinery has acknowledged RITE's submission.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company
has not yet begun to engage in the matched purchase and sale of precious metals business but is capable of doing so as soon as the Company
finds the right opportunity to pursue. Once an opportunity is identified, the Company will then need to negotiate and execute contracts,
coordinate field testing and logistics, run test tranches, arrange financial activities, among other activities. The costs associated
with these activities, added to the costs the Company will likely need to pay to facilitators, will be netted out against the discount
the Company negotiates, often leaving a small percentage balance in the 2% to 5% range which will inure to the Company accordingly. Depending
on the transaction terms and the Company’s ultimate efficiency in handling the transaction, this small percentage
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 18 |
can generally be earned multiple times per month.
The “velocity of capital” effect of rolling through the same funds multiples times per month and year serves to dramatical
improves the Company’s overall annual profit margin from the matched purchases and sales of precious metals.
On January 14, 2025, the Company
created RITE Precious Metals LLC, a Michigan limited liability company in anticipation of engaging in matched precious metal purchases
and sales activities after having been approached by an international funding source. Discussions are presently ongoing with the funding
source. It is the present intention of the Company to offer the funders non-convertible preferred shares subject to a sinking fund; warrants
to acquire a limited number of shares of common stock; and a profit-sharing arrangement for a limited period of time. The Company believes
that this approach will limit the dilution for the current holders of the Company’s common stock. The Company expects that, if this
project proceeds, funds will be raised pursuant to a Regulation S offering.
Customers for the Matched Precious
Metal Purchase and Sale Business.
The physical commodities business
dwarfs the financial services business by orders of magnitude. Physical commodities, such as oil, gas, sugar, iron, copper, grains, etc.
trade in highly active, vastly larger markets, and precious metals are no exception. The precious metal markets offer instant fulfillment
to buyers and instant liquidity to sellers. Settlement normally occurs within a 24-to-72-hour window from the point in time that a trade
is executed. As such, product availability and market liquidity generally tend to be a non-issue in the precious metals markets. Customers
who seek to purchase precious metals range from end-user manufacturers (such as jewelry and electronic component manufactures) to individual
and corporate investors (who seek to stockpile metal for investment purposes) to banks and brokerage firms (who purchase for their own
account or for the accounts of their clients) to metal refineries (who, like market making brokerage firms, will generally buy and sell
all available product).
Many key industry participants,
such as refineries, offer a price-lock when effectuating transactions with other industry participants. For example, a seller can advise
a refinery that it will be delivering a certain quantity of product three days in the future, and the refinery will reserve refinery time
and lock-in the price so that both parties will know the presumed settlement amount and can arrange banking accordingly. Then, when the
material arrives, the refinery will check it for quantity and quality, which is part of their standard refining process anyway, make any
final adjustments, and then settle the trade accordingly. Essentially, the transaction works exactly as the financial markets do for Delivery
Versus Payment (DVP) and Receive Versus Payment (RVP) accounts – a trade is made at a certain price, and then the transaction settles
upon confirmation that each party has met their obligations. Since MineralRite already has established accounts at various refineries,
the Company faces little risk in the liquidation of whatever precious metals it acquires or generates from its mining properties.
Competition in the Matched
Precious Metal Purchase and Sale Business.
Although the Company faces competition
from a multitude of foreign and domestic purchasers, sellers, users, and producers of precious metals, the liquid nature and the size
of the precious metal markets mitigate most of the risk that industry participants would otherwise face in markets that are not as vast
or as liquid. By negotiating contracts with discounts based off of spot prices at the time of delivery, and price-
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 19 |
locking matched purchases
and sales for one-off transactions, the Company can eliminate the market risk that precious metal investors and speculators face. By
properly managing logistics and settlement activities, the Company can maximize its velocity of capital, enhancing the modest returns
made on each capital turn. Although these business activities do not change the fact that the Company is a small player in an industry
filled with giants, it does provide a pathway for the Company to navigate and manage its business effectively.
Minerals
and Mining Business.
Mining and Mineral Management;
Mineral Processing; and Liberation of the Values Contained in Mineral Property Assets.
The primary focus of the Company
is to become a globally diversified natural resources company through the acquisition, upgrading, development, and liberation of values
found in mineral based assets. The Company seeks high-value, unexploited, underdeveloped or undervalued, mineral assets, in the form of
mines, mineral deposits and tailings piles, located in politically and economically stable, pro-mining jurisdictions to add to its to
its ever-expanding Mineral Portfolio. The Company will also consider other types of acquisition methodologies, including formal
acquisition of mines/mineral rights; acquisition of mineral leases/royalties; processing-based royalty ventures; the formation of ore
processing joint ventures; or the acquisition of mineral royalties.
Presently the Company has four
mineral assets in its Mineral Portfolio, which are held in subsidiaries. These assets were acquired from a formerly public company
in a stock transaction. The former owners lacked the expertise and resources to develop the mineral assets, and had asked for the advice
and assistance of certain individuals who have since joined the management team of MineralRite Corporation. Given its access to this detailed
knowledge, the Company decided to pursue the acquisition of these mineral assets and now presently holds them in its Mineral Portfolio.
The four mineral assets held in
the Company’s Mineral Portfolio consist of two hundred seventy-nine thousand (279,000) tons of seismically proven tailings;
roughly three hundred seventy-seven (377) acres of mining claims located in Skull Valley, AZ; ten (10) contiguous registered mining claims
on two hundred (200) acres in San Bernardino County, CA known as Silver Valley; and seven (7) mining claims on one hundred forty (140)
acres, also in San Bernardino County known as La Escondida, approximately twenty (20) miles in distance from the Silver Valley claims.
The Company also has a short list
of other mineral assets it would like to acquire and develop.
The Company intends to build-out
and operational scale-up mineral processing of the properties held in its Mineral Portfolio, targeting high-value commodity metals
for recovery. Wherever possible, the Company utilizes technical innovation to achieve efficient, sustainable processing and concentration
circuits that are tailored to fit the operational goals of each specific project.

and Mining Business.

The Company intends to focus mineral
asset acquisitions on properties that contain high-value commodity metals. As such, the primary customers interested in purchasing the
precious metals that the Company will be liberating from its own mineral resources are end-user manufacturers (such as jewelry and electronic
component manufactures), individual and corporate investors (who seek to stockpile metal for investment purposes), banks and brokerage
firms (who purchase for their own account or for the accounts of their clients), and metal refineries (who, like market making brokerage
firms, will generally buy and sell all available product).
Competition in the Minerals
and Mining Business.
Though the Company faces competition
from a multitude of foreign and domestic producers of precious metal, the liquid nature and the size of the precious metal markets mitigate
much of the risk that industry participants might otherwise face selling their finished products in markets that are not as vast or as
liquid. Even though the demand for the finished product is vast, the Company will face competition for the resources used in the production
process, including but not limited to, certain pieces of refining equipment, skilled labor and management, and capital.
Monetization of Mineral and
Mining Assets
Monetization of large in-ground
assets — such as minerals — offers a unique and potentially lucrative value proposition for the Company. While natural resources
could be highly valuable when extracted, extraction often requires large upfront investments in exploration, drilling, and infrastructure.
Of equal importance, it could take a considerable amount of time to extract and process significant quantities of in-ground minerals.
Monetizing assets — through methods such as forward sales, royalty-based processing agreement, leasing, carbon-credit trading, joint
venture arrangements, and/or leveraging them as collateral — could provide the Company with immediate liquidity and capital. Monetizing
the Company’s assets could allow the Company to more effectively utilize its capital base without having to wait for the extraction
process to unfold. Funds received from monetization could be used to generate revenue while the Company still retains the long-term upside
potential of its resource base. The Company could use funds obtained from monetization to finance day-to-day operations, deploy into new
projects, expand existing projects, acquire additional assets, and reduce outstanding debt – all with minimal share dilution.
Monetizing the Company’s
large in-ground asset base, while facilitating the Company’s need for access to capital and potentially minimizing share dilution,
also presents risk to the Company due to the interest and other costs associated with using this method of financial leverage. The Company
will need to carefully assess the cash flow and income being generated from projects into which it deploys monetization funds and take
steps to mitigate the risks that inure from the use of debt and leverage. There is no guarantee that the Company will deploy monetization
funds in an effective manner or will properly mitigate the risks associated with monetization activities.

The Regulatory
Environment in Which the Company Operates.
Existing and Probable Governmental
Regulation.
Company management monitors and
complies with current government regulations that affect the Company’s activities. Company operations may be adversely affected
by changes in government policy, regulations or taxation, with or without notice. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able
to obtain the necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out its business plans for equipment manufacturing, matched
precious metal purchases and sales, and exploration, development of all types of mining and mineral extraction projects. It is not expected
that any of these controls or regulations will affect the Company’s operations in a manner materially different than they would
affect other businesses engaged in the same areas of business in which the Company operates.
United States Government and
State and Local Government Regulation.
The United States federal government
and various state and local governments have adopted laws and regulations regarding the protection of human health and the environment.
These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit by operators in each of the Company’s business segments, and
in particular before drilling or mining commences, prohibit drilling or mining activities on certain lands lying within wilderness areas,
wetlands, or where pollution might cause serious harm, and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from drilling or mining
operations, and as to oil and natural gas, particularly with respect to operations in onshore and offshore waters or on submerged lands.
These laws and regulations may increase the costs of drilling and operating wells and mining activities. Because these laws and regulations
change frequently, the costs of compliance with existing and future environmental regulations cannot be predicted with certainty.
The transportation and sales of
certain chemicals used in mining and mineral extraction operations in interstate commerce are heavily regulated by agencies of the federal
government. Production, mining and mineral extraction activities will also be affected by federal regulations and to some degree by state
regulations. Exploration, production, mining or mineral extraction on federal or state land, and to some degree on private property, whether
owned or leased, will have to comply with multiple levels of regulation designed to protect the environment, including but not limited
to, the Federal Land Management Planning Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Clean Water Act, and/or the state’s equivalent thereof.
The cost of complying with environmental concerns under any of these acts varies on a case-by-case basis. In many instances the cost can
be prohibitive to development. Environmental costs associated with a particular project must be factored into the overall cost evaluation
to determine whether or not it is in the Company’s best interest to proceed.
Environmental Regulation.
Mining exploration, development
and production operations are subject to stringent laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise
relating to environmental protection. Numerous governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”)
issue regulations which often require difficult and costly compliance measures that carry
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 22 |
substantial administrative,
civil and criminal penalties and may result in injunctive obligations for failure to comply. These laws and regulations generally require
the acquisition of a permit before mining commences, restrict the types, quantities and concentrations of various substances that can
be released into the environment in connection with mining and production activities, limit or prohibit construction or mining extraction
activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, ecologically sensitive and other protected areas, require action to prevent
or remediate pollution from current or former operations, such as closing pits, and impose substantial liabilities for pollution. The
strict liability nature of such laws and regulations could impose liability upon the Company regardless of fault. Changes in environmental
laws and regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent and costly pollution control or waste handling,
storage, transport, disposal or cleanup requirements could materially adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial position,
as well as the mining industry in general.
Environmental
problems have not interfered in any material respect with the Company's business. The Company believes that its compliance with
statutory requirements respecting environmental quality will not materially affect its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive
position. Current federal and state legislation regulating surface mining and reclamation may affect some of the Company's equipment
customers, principally with respect to the cost of complying with, and delays resulting from, reclamation and environmental requirements.
Some of the Company's equipment products are used for reclamation as well as for mining, which has a positive effect on the demand for
such products and replacement parts therefor.
The Company has not incurred any
costs in connection with the compliance to any federal, state, or local environmental laws. However, costs could occur at any time through
industrial accident or in connection with a terrorist act or a new project. Costs could extend into the millions of dollars for which
the Company could be liable. In the event of liability, Company management believes that the Company may be entitled to contributions
from other project participants, if any, such that the Company’s percentage share of a particular project would equate to the Company’s
percentage share of liability on that project. However, other owners may not be willing or able to share in the cost of the liability.
Even if liability is limited to the Company’s percentage share, any significant liability has the possibility of severely diminishing
the Company’s assets and resources. Company management is prepared to engage professionals, if necessary, to ensure regulatory compliance,
but in the near term, the Company’s expects its activities to require minimal regulatory oversight. If the Company expands the scope
of the Company’s activities in the future it is reasonable to expect expenditure for such compliance to rise.
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act.
The Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), generally imposes joint and several liabilities, without regard to fault
or legality of conduct, on classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a “hazardous substance”
into the environment. These persons include the current owner or operator of a contaminated facility, a former owner or operator of the
facility at the time of contamination and those persons that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substance. Under CERCLA
and comparable state statutes, such persons may be subject to strict joint and several liabilities for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous
substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 23 |
health studies. In addition,
it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly
caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. Governmental agencies or third parties may seek to hold the Company
responsible under CERCLA and comparable state statutes for all or part of the costs to clean up sites at which such “hazardous
substances” have been released.
The Company’s
Non-Financial Assets.
The Company's Research and
Development.
The Company is not currently conducting
any research and development activities other than normal and customary property explorations and assessments. Company management does
not anticipate conducting such activities in the near future. If the Company generates significant revenues, it may consider expending
resources in such endeavors, though it is far more likely that such endeavors will be conducted with and through third-parties and/or
joint-venture partners.
The Company's Intellectual
Property.
The Company does not presently
own any patents, though it does hold certain trade secrets and specialized industry knowledge. The Company does own the Internet domain
name www.mineral-rite.com and the alternate suffixes of “.org”, “.net”,
and “.info” and the related domain name of www.mineralritecorp.com and the alternate
suffixes of “.org”, “.net”, and “.info” along with several others. Under current domain name registration
practices, no one else can obtain an identical domain name, but someone might obtain a similar name, or the identical name with a different
suffix, such as “.online” or with a country designation such as “.us”. The regulation of domain names in the United
States and in foreign countries is subject to change, and the Company could be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names
that infringe or otherwise decrease the value of the Company’s domain names.
Employees and Consultants.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company
has no full-time employees and no part-time employees. Company management, including its officers and directors, is composed of independent
contractor consultants, many of whom have owned their own consulting businesses for years. In general, the Company’s independent
contractor consultants are subject-matter specialists who would be unattainable and unaffordable if the Company demanded or even attempted
to engage them on a full-time, exclusive basis. This arrangement presently works to the benefit of the Company because the Company’s
standard engagement arrangement does not require monthly stipends to be paid to most of the members of the Company’s management
team. The Company’s independent contractor consultants are all shareholders and/or contractual right holders, and many have made
sizable cash purchases to acquire restricted stock over the course of their engagement with the Company.
It is likely that the Company
may need to expand its workforce over the next twelve months to support the Company’s expansion and business development, and the
Company anticipates doing so by
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 24 |
engaging the services
of additional independent contractor consultants.

outlined herein, and others, could adversely impact the Company’s performance and an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions
in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives.
Long-Form
Discussion of Selected Risks
From a high-level perspective, what are some
of the broad-ranging risks that could impact the Company's performance?
The Company’s operations
are just gearing up after a year of corporate cleanup. This cleanup was undertaken by the Company’s new management to stabilize
the Company’s foundation so that the future of the Company could be built on a more solid foundation.
The Company does not have any
employees. The Company’s management team, including its
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 25 |
officers and directors,
is composed of independent contractor consultants, many of whom have owned their own consulting businesses for years. From the Company’s
perspective, these independent contractor consultants are subject-matter specialists who would be unattainable and unaffordable if the
Company demanded or even attempted to engage them on a full-time, exclusive basis. With a few notable exceptions, the Company’s
standard engagement arrangement does not require the Company to pay a monthly stipend to these independent contractor consultants who
comprise the Company’s management team. Given that the Company’s management team have other business interests to which they
also devote their attention, conflicts of interest could arise which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition,
results of operations and performance.
As
part of the corporate cleanup, the Company developed a new business plan and obtained legal opinions it sought in support of its position
to (i) derecognize $763,377.50 of time-barred obligations; (ii) exchange previously issued convertible obligations, in the original
amount of $137,499, into 2,750 fully paid warrants to purchase 2,750 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock pursuant to Section
3(a)9; (iii) reclaim 9,544,690 common shares which had previously been issued; and (iv) release shares which were being held in certain
segregated reserve accounts at the Company’s transfer agent on behalf of former convertible bond holders. The Company also (iv)
filed and received approval from OTCMarkets.com for its Change of Control application, (v) filed an Application for Revocation of the
Cease Trade Order with the Alberta Securities Commission that had been entered against the Company on June 28, 2013, and (vi) filed a
Corporate Actions Case with FINRA regarding the Company’s April 7, 2021, F Reorganization Merger Re-Domicile change. The Company
also completed (vii) the acquisition of certain intellectual property, inventory and equipment which belonged to the owners of the Company’s
former equipment manufacturing facility, and (viii) the acquisition of two subsidiaries of a former public company which own four (4)
mining assets that have a collective audited asset value of $432 million dollars. These recent acquisitions further the execution of
the Company’s new business plan.
The Company needs funding to execute its new business
plan.
During the course of the cleanup,
funds have principally come from members of the Company’s new management team. With the exception of a few cases where members of
the new management team were granted a de minimis number of restricted shares of the Company’s Series C convertible preferred
stock, the rest of the management team were sold contractual rights to purchase restricted shares of the Company’s Series C convertible
preferred stock at a price equivalent to the price at which the underlying shares were trading on the market at the time their management
contracts were executed. As such, the only economic advantage gained by the management team was that the contractual rights afforded them
the time, until the contractual rights expired, to exercise them. The funds that have come into the Company from members of its management
team have come from the exercise of the members’ contractual rights for the acquisition of their Series C convertible preferred
shares. To date, the Company has been dependent on this source of funding to execute its business plan and continue operations. The Company’s
management team has no obligation to exercise their contractual rights or fund the Company’s operations; and in the absence of this
funding could cause the Company to discontinue operations which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition,
results of operations and performance.
The Company possesses limited
capital to fund ongoing operations and is not generating sufficient
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 26 |
revenue to sustain itself,
including for such purposes as preparing and filing periodic reports under the Exchange Act. The Company anticipates it will need to
raise capital to support its operations, and regularly engages in discussions with investors, investment bankers and other funding sources
in its normal course of business. There is no guarantee that these discussions will be successful or that the Company will be able to
raise the funding it needs to execute its business plans. Failure to obtain additional funds could significantly limit or eliminate the
Company’s ability to fund planned activities, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results
of operations and performance. Success in obtaining additional capital could lead to dilution which could adversely impact the Company’s
performance.
The
Company is not expected to generate sufficient revenues to sustain itself unless and until the Company starts developing its mineral
and mining property assets, and only then once it is able to liberate and liquidate the high-value precious metals contained therein.
Over the next eighteen months, the Company anticipates that it will incur costs and expenses in connection with preparing and filing
reports under the Exchange Act, implementing appropriate corporate governance mechanisms and internal controls and procedures, leasing
and/or purchasing equipment to start operation and a myriad of other activities. The Company is unable to provide a detailed estimate
of the costs and expenses that may be incurred in connection with starting business operation given the multitude of variables associated
with such activities but believes that raising approximately $1,500,000 in capital will support its operations and prepare for the Regulation
A+ (or alternative) capital raise which it plans to pursue by mid-year 2025. Failure to obtain additional funds could significantly limit
or eliminate the Company’s ability to fund planned activities, which could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial
condition, results of operations and performance and/or raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. Success in obtaining additional capital could lead to dilution which could adversely impact the Company’s performance.

subjects of the Company’s new business plan and new management, human capital, use of consultants, key personnel, dependence on
management, raising capital and dilution of ownership can be found below in the subsection to RISK FACTORS entitled SHORT-FORM
DISCLOSURE-AND-COMMENTARY ON RISKS.
What are some of the general economic or market
conditions that could affect the company’s business?
The Company’s principal
business focus is on the liberation of high-value precious metals in its minerals and mining business. The Company’s also has a
secondary focus on the matched purchases and sales of precious metals, and a tertiary focus on supplying equipment to the minerals and
mining business. As such, all of the Company’s operations deal directly or indirectly with high-value precious metals. The high-value
precious metals segment of the economy has been historically cyclical in nature, with activity levels being significantly affected by
the price and volatility of those metals. Therefore, the Company’s business prospects are likely to be greatly affected by the demand
for electronic components in which such metals are used for their electrical conductivity properties (such as in computers, telecommunications,
smart mechanical devices and other electronic components) and the demand for their use as financial assets and as inflation hedges (as
tier-one and other assets in the banking and financial services industry), both of
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 27 |
which are beyond the
control of the Company.
Any
prolonged contraction in the US or world economy, or a period of deflation, or a decline in demand for consumer or industrial
electronic devices or components, or a scientific advancement that significant development that reduces or replaces the use of precious
metals in electronic devices or components, or a change in government regulations that effects their asset classification, plus a myriad
of other events, all of which are outside of the Company’s control, could reduce the overall demand for mining activities, could
reduce the value of the Company’s assets, could affect the spread between revenue and cost of mining operations and could adversely
impact the Company in many ways and impact the Company’s performance.
More risk and commentary on the
subjects of economic and market conditions can be found below in the subsection to RISK FACTORS entitled SHORT-FORM DISCLOSURE-AND-COMMENTARY
ON RISKS.
Fluctuations in high-value precious metal and
raw materials prices used in the Company’s production processes could impact profitability.
The Company targets high-value
precious metals in every sector of its business. The Company’s Mineral Portfolio principally targets gold and platinum group
metals when evaluating potential acquisition targets; its extraction equipment designs target high-value precious metals; and its matched
purchases and sales business targets gold.
The prices for high-value precious
metals are influenced by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, including general economic conditions, market forces and
macroeconomic conditions, governmental intervention, competition, labor costs, inflation, uncertainty, import duties, other trade restrictions
and currency exchange rates.
The profitability
of mining operations is highly sensitive to the prices of the minerals or metals being mined and the cost of the raw materials used in
the production process.
A
decline in commodity prices for the high-value precious metals which the Company targets, whether due to market conditions or other factors,
could have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s revenue and profitability and impact the Company's performance.
Additionally, it could have a dramatic adverse effect on the value of the Company’s Mineral Portfolio which in turn have
a dramatic adverse effect on the Company’s base of assets, capital ratios, financial coverages, ability to obtain and cost of financing,
any or all of which could impact the Company’s performance.
An increase
in the cost of labor, energy, water, equipment or raw materials which are used in multiple stages of the production process, whether due
to market conditions or other factors, could have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s revenue and profitability and impact
the Company's performance.

What key operational
challenges does the Company face as it executes its new business plan?
There are many operational challenges
that could affect the success of the Company’s operations, especially given the fact that the Company is embarking on a new business
plan under the direction of a newly assembled management team. Some of the risks the Company will face come from macro-sources that are
clearly outside of its control, whereas other risks come from sources that may be within the Company’s control.
Key risk factors that are outside
of the control of the Company include, but are not limited to, the overall supply and demand for high-value precious metals; the discovery
rate of new sources of high-value precious metals; the rate of depletion of existing sources of high-value precious metal deposits; political
instability in high-value and precious metal producing regions; worldwide economic conditions; worldwide demand; worldwide environmental
and other regulations; and weather conditions in high-value precious metal producing regions.
Key risk factors that may be within
the control of the Company include, but are not limited to, the availability and expertise to find, recruit, hire, employ and retain management
and key personnel; the effectiveness of that personnel to manage and scale-up operations, navigate operational challenges, and control
costs associated with exploration, development and production; the availability and cost of quality of mineral, financial and human resources;
the ability to raise and effectively deploy capital; and the handling of environmental, safety, and security risks.
The Company’s success also
depends, in part, upon its ability to properly manage and grow its resources base (including its Mineral Portfolio assets, its
business acumen and expertise, and its human and financial capital) and effectively respond to the changing markets and landscape (including
economic, regulatory and environmental) in which it operates. The Company may not be able to fulfill staffing requirements, successfully
train and assimilate new workers, or expand its management base. The Company may be unable to execute its business plans, manage its operations,
establish a financial system or a system of internal controls to effectively manage the Company’s business. Failure to achieve any
or all of these goals could prevent the Company from managing growth in an effective manner and could have a material adverse effect on
the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and performance.
More risks and commentary on the
operational challenges can be found below in the subsection to RISK FACTORS entitled SHORT-FORM DISCLOSURE-AND-COMMENTARY ON
RISKS.
What risk factors should be considered when
evaluating the potential success of the Company’s future prospects given the fact that it has both a brand-new business plan and
a brand-new management team?
The Company adopted its current
business plan in 2024. New management joined the Company in late 2023, and undertook a complete housecleaning of the Company, including
but not limited to, the removal of certain assets and time-barred obligations from the Company’s books; the reclamation of certain
outstanding shares of common stock; and the renegotiation of certain current obligations. These efforts
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 29 |
culminated in the achievement
and presentation of audited financial statements by the third quarter of 2024.
Prior
to this undertaking by new management, the Company had been engaged in a number of different industries and lines of business,
under the direction of various management teams for more than two decades. During some of those years, the Company posted limited business
activity; particularly during the years immediately following the sale of its Goldfield subsidiary through the end of the Covid-19 pandemic
when new certain subject matter experts were recruited to join the Company.
The refocusing of the Company’s
plan of business, its lack of activity, and its entirely new management team combine to make an evaluation of the Company’s business
and prospects very difficult. For all intents and purposes, it’s a brand-new business plan under the direction of a brand-new management
team with limited operating experience and history. The Company is subject to all of the risks inherent in the creation and development
of a brand-new business. As such, the Company's prospects must be considered speculative, and subject to all of the risks, expenses, and
difficulties that are frequently encountered in the establishment of a new business. Company management cannot be certain whether the
Company’s business will be successful or that the Company will generate sufficient revenues to become profitable.
The report of the Company’s
financial statements included in this registration statement indicate that the Company has suffered losses from operations, has a net
capital deficiency and has yet to generate cash flow. In addition, the Company has limited cash resources with which to sustain operating
expenses, and a failure to raise capital could raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
More risks and commentary on the
subjects of the Company’s new business plan and new management can be found below in the subsection to RISK FACTORS entitled
SHORT-FORM DISCLOSURE-AND-COMMENTARY ON RISKS.
How does the Company intend to operate using
consultants rather than full-time or part-time employees?
The Company does not have any
employees. Company management, including its officers and directors, is composed of independent contractor consultants, many of whom have
owned their own consulting businesses for years. From the Company’s perspective, these independent contractor consultants are subject-matter
specialists who would be unattainable and unaffordable if the Company demanded or even attempted to engage them on a full-time, exclusive
basis. With a few notable exceptions, the Company’s standard engagement arrangement does not require the Company to pay a monthly
stipend to these independent contractor consultants. In a few cases, these independent contractor consultants were each granted a de
minimis number of restricted shares of the Company’s Series C convertible preferred stock. In all of the other cases, these
independent contract consultants were sold contractual rights to purchase restricted shares of the Company’s Series C convertible
preferred stock at a price equivalent to the price at which the underlying shares were trading on the market at the time their contracts
were executed. As such, the only economic advantage gained by the independent contractor consultants was that the contractual rights afforded
them the time, until the contractual rights expired, to exercise them.
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 30 |
As of December 31, 2024, every
independent contractor consultant engaged by the Company is either a shareholder and/or a contractual right holder, and many have made
sizable cash purchases to acquire restricted stock over the course of their engagement with the Company. The Company believes that the
economic incentive of being a shareholder and/or contractual right holder will be sufficient to encourage these independent contractor
consultants to remain available to the Company on a when and as needed basis, but the Company has no guarantee that this will be the case.
Accordingly, if any of these independent contractor consultants were to terminate or non-renew their service with the Company, such a
departure could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. The Company’s future success could depend on the
Company’s ability to identify, attract, hire or engage, retain and motivate well-qualified personnel. There can be no assurance
that such professionals will be available in the market, or that they can be engaged on reasonable terms when and as needed.
To supplement the business experience
of the Company’s officers and directors, the Company engage accountants, technical experts, appraisers, attorneys, or other consultants
or advisors. The Company’s Board, without any input from stockholders, will make such decisions and selections as needs arise, and
will engage such assistance on an "as needed" basis without continuing fiduciary or other obligations accordingly. In the event
that the Company considers it necessary to engage outside advisors, the Company may elect to engage persons who are considered to be affiliates
if they are able to provide the required services.
It is likely that the Company
may need to expand its workforce over the next twelve months to support the Company’s expansion and business development, and the
Company anticipates doing so by engaging the services of additional independent contractor consultants.
More risks and commentary on the
subjects of human capital and the use of consultants can be found below in the subsection to RISK FACTORS entitled SHORT-FORM
DISCLOSURE-AND-COMMENTARY ON RISKS.
Given that the Company’s brand-new management
team is now operating under a brand-new business plan, how robust are its internal controls and procedures?
The Company recently conducted
an evaluation of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in "Internal Control Integrated Framework"
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations for the Treadway Commission ("COSO") and published in 2013, and subsequent
guidance prepared by COSO specifically for smaller public companies. The purpose of such an evaluation is to identify deficiencies, significant
deficiencies and material weakness that could result in material misstatements of a company’s financial statements.
A deficiency in internal control
over financial reporting (“ICFR”) refers to a weakness or failure in the design or operation of an organization's internal
control system that could potentially lead to material misstatements in the financial statements. These misstatements may be either due
to fraud or error and could go undetected or uncorrected in a timely manner.
There are two main types of deficiencies in internal
control:
|
1. |
Design Deficiency: This occurs when the control is not properly designed to address the |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 31 |
risks it was
meant to mitigate. For example, if there is a lack of segregation of duties, where one person has control over both authorizing and recording
financial transactions, it creates a vulnerability to errors or fraud.
|
2. |
Operational Deficiency: This occurs when a control is poorly executed or not operating effectively,
even if it is properly designed. For example, if employees do not follow established procedures or if there is inadequate supervision
or monitoring, the control may fail to prevent or detect a material misstatement. |
When a deficiency in
internal control is identified, it is classified based on its severity:
| ● | Significant Deficiency: A control deficiency that is less severe
than a material weakness but still important enough to merit attention by management and the audit committee. |
| ● | Material Weakness: A deficiency, or combination of deficiencies,
that significantly increases the risk that a material misstatement in the financial statements will not be prevented or detected in a
timely manner. This could lead to unreliable financial reporting and might require disclosure in the organization's financial statements. |
Proper internal controls are crucial for ensuring
the accuracy and integrity of financial reporting, and a deficiency could undermine confidence in the organization’s financial statements.
Based on that evaluation, management concluded that
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting needs to be improved to correct the following known material weaknesses:
| ● | The Company's lacks in segregation of duties. |
| ● | The Company lacks an audit committee |
| ● | The Company lacks control procedures that include multiple levels of review
over financial reporting. |
| ● | Management has not established appropriate and rigorous procedures for evaluating
internal controls over financial reporting. Due to limited resources and lack of segregation of duties, documentation of the limited control
structure has not been accomplished. |
| ● | Even though the Company does employ policies and procedures for reconciliation
of the financial statements and note disclosures, these processes are not appropriately documented. |
| ● | Even though management has established procedures to minimize loss of data,
it has not rigorously tested its data back-up procedures to ensure that they are sufficiently complete, methodical and consistent to ensure
loss of data will not occur. |
Management believes that these
material weaknesses will remain until the point in time that the Company has the resources to hire additional personnel so that the Company
can adequately segregate financial reporting duties, retain outside consultants to review the Company’s controls and procedures,
and possibly beyond. Even though the Company is in the process of developing and instituting certain internal controls, it will take time
and additional manpower to implement them fully. Given that the Company presently has only one officer and one director (soon to be expanded
to five), it is not possible to develop and maintain a system of checks and balances that can guarantee the prevention of all possible
errors (including those which could result from faulty judgment or decision-making) or provide absolute assurance that all instances of
fraud can be detected. Furthermore, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 32 |
a person, by acts of
collusion of two or more people, or by management overriding those controls. The design of any control system of controls 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. Furthermore, over time a control system may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions or because the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective
control system, misstatements due to error or fraud could occur and may not be detected which could adversely affect the Company’s
business, financial condition, results of operations and performance.

risks and commentary on the subjects of personnel, financial reporting, security, theft and fraud can be found below in the subsection
to RISK FACTORS entitled SHORT-FORM DISCLOSURE-AND-COMMENTARY ON RISKS.
The costs to meet the reporting requirements
of a public company, subject to the Exchange Act of 1934, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and various other rules and regulations, are
substantial and could significantly increase the Company's administrative costs, and failure to comply or comply in a timely manner could
adversely affect the Company’s performance and the price and trading of the Company’s securities.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and listing requirements subsequently adopted by the NYSE Amex in response to Sarbanes-Oxley,
have required changes in corporate governance practices, internal control policies and audit committee practices of public companies.
Although the Company is a relatively small public company, these rules, regulations, and requirements for the most part apply to the same
extent as they apply to all major publicly traded companies.
Not only has this regulation significantly
increased the Company's legal, financial, compliance and administrative costs, but they have also made certain other activities more time-consuming
and more costly, requiring substantial time and attention of Company’s management. Failure to satisfactorily comply with the myriads
of rules, regulations and requirements under which the Company operates could result in, among other things, penalties, delisting from
exchanges, or loss of public trust, any or all of which could adversely impact the Company.
The Company expects its continued
compliance with these, and future rules and regulations, will continue to require significant resources and may require the Company to
recruit, hire, train, employ and retain additional financial reporting, internal control and other personnel to develop and implement
internal controls and reporting procedures that are required by these rules and regulations. If, for whatever reason, the Company is unable
to comply with the internal control requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Company may not be able to obtain the independent accountant
certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
These rules and regulations also
may make it more difficult and more expensive for the Company to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future and could
make it more difficult for the Company to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as officers and/or members for the Company's
Board of Directors, particularly those that are asked to serve on the Company’s audit committee.
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 33 |
The financial costs to the Company
to comply with these laws, regulations and rules are estimated to be more than $100,000 annually. The funds the Company uses to pay for
compliance are funds that could otherwise be used to fund operations. Failure to comply, failure to maintain adequate processes and controls,
and/or failure to recruit, hire, train, employ and retain financial and management personnel who can ensure that the Company’s internal
controls and procedures systems are being followed and producing accurate reports of the Company’s financial performance on a timely
basis, could result in fines and penalties for non-compliance, subject the Company to litigation from regulators or stakeholders, adversely
affect the Company’s business relationships and ability to raise capital in the financial markets, cause a decline in the price
of the Company’s securities, or a suspension or cessation in trading for the Company’s securities. Any or all of these events
could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, ability to raise capital, results of operations and performance
and an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives.

The SEC’s and FINRA’s Penny Stock
Rules, and the additional disclosure and approvals requirements associated therewith, could reduce market liquidity, increase volatility,
or otherwise make it more costly and difficult for investors to buy and sell the Company’s stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) has adopted rules (e.g. Rule 3a51-1) that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny
stocks”. Likewise, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has specific rules that govern transactions
involving penny stocks as well.
Penny stocks generally are equity
securities that trade at a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted
on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by
the exchange or system) or meet certain other criteria with regard to the length of time the company has been in continuous operation;
the amount of stockholder’s equity and/or net tangible assets that the company has; the company’s average annual revenue or
net income; the number of shareholders and/or outstanding shares the company has; the company’s market capitalization; and/or the
price at which the company’s stock trades.
Even though the Company meets
certain of these criteria, the Company remains subject to the Penny Stock rules.
Penny Stock rules require a broker-dealer,
prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document explaining
certain information about penny stocks, their place in the market and the risks associated with investing in them. The broker-dealer also
must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and salesperson in
the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 34 |
market value of each
penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the Penny Stock Rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock
not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must, in certain circumstances, 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. FINRA has also
adopted rules requiring 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 and prior to recommending speculative or 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 has indicated its belief that there is a high probability
that speculative or low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Additionally, according to FINRA Rule 6460,
broker-dealers are allowed to accept or submit quotes for penny stocks only if the quote is unsolicited by the customer. FINRA also closely
monitors penny stocks for potential market manipulation, including pump and dump schemes where stocks are artificially inflated and then
sold at a profit by those who manipulated the price. Penny stocks are more susceptible to manipulation due to their low liquidity and
volatility. FINRA has procedures and rules in place to detect and prevent such practices, including surveillance of trading patterns
and price movements.
These
rules, disclosure requirements, and the restrictions placed on broker-dealers can have the effect of reducing the trading activity in
the secondary market for a stock that is classified as a penny stock and becomes subject to the penny stock rules. If a company’s
common stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules or is otherwise perceived by investors to be a penny stock even if it is not, holders
of those shares may have difficulty depositing and/or selling those shares. These rules, requirements and restrictions could make it
more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend or transact in the shares of low-priced stocks, for at least some of their customers,
which could limit the ability of shareholders, investors and potential investors to buy and sell low-priced stocks; and this could have
the further adverse effect on the market for, the price of, and the volume in shares of low-priced stocks.
The low price of the Company’s
common stock could have a negative effect on the ability for certain investors to engage in their purchase and sale and/or could be negatively
impacted by the amount and percentage of transaction costs that investors might be required to pay to execute transactions in the Company’s
common stock. The low price of the Company’s common stock could also limit the Company’s ability to raise additional capital
through the issuance of additional shares and increase the difficulty that investors may encounter to deposit new issuances of shares
into brokerage or other accounts. There are several reasons for these effects. First, the internal policies of certain institutional investors
prohibit the purchase of low-priced stocks. Second, many brokerage houses do not accept delivery of shares of low-priced stocks or permit
low-priced stocks to be used as collateral for margin accounts or to be purchased on margin. Third, some brokerage house policies and
practices tend to discourage individual brokers and investors from dealing in low-priced stocks, including making it difficult and/or
costly for investors to even deposit low-priced stocks into a brokerage account. Finally, a broker-dealer’s commissions on low-priced
stocks may represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks. As a result, investors in the Company's
common stock may pay transaction costs that are a higher percentage of their total share value than if the Company’s share price
were substantially higher.
The Company’s common stock
falls under the definition of a Penny Stock. Therefore, penny stocks
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 35 |
rules apply to transactions
in the Company’s common shares which could adversely impact the Company’s performance and an investor’s ability to
effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives.

risks and commentary on the subjects of penny stocks, volatility, low trading volume, unsolicited quotes only and manipulation can be
found below in the subsection to RISK FACTORS entitled SHORT-FORM DISCLOSURE-AND-COMMENTARY ON RISKS.
Given the Company’s status as a relatively
unknown company, with a brand-new management operating a brand-new business plan, and lack of historical profits, the market price for
the Company’s common stock may be particularly volatile.
The volatility in the price of
the Company’s common stock could be attributable to a number of factors, many of which are not within the Company’s control.
The Company’s common stock
competes for investment capital and investor sentiment against companies which potentially are larger, more established and may trade
on national securities exchanges. These other companies may also have already established a substantially larger base of investors, possibly
including institutional investors. The other companies may be followed by brokerage firms, investment advisors and/or covered by research.
The other companies may also have a substantially larger public float and market capitalization and may trade in higher volumes measured
both in dollars and in shares. The other companies may offer a myriad of other characteristics that appeal to the investing public far
more effectively than the Company’s common stock may appeal to the same investor group. Any or all of these factors, along with
many others, could lead to greater price volatility in the Company’s common stock. These factors could also lead to limited trading
volume, limited trading frequency and limited liquidity. Any or all of these factors could disproportionately influence the price of the
Company’s shares in either direction. For example, the price for the Company’s shares could decline precipitously in the event
that a large number of shares of the Company’s common stock are sold or offered for sale on the market without commensurate and
coincident demand.
Compared to the attributes of
these other companies, the Company represents a speculative or "risky" investment considering that the Company is relatively
unknown, has both a new business plan and a new management team, has demonstrated a lack of profits to date, and also faces the additional
uncertainty as to the Company’s general level of investor acceptance and sentiment with regards to all of these recent developments.
As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the
event of negative news, lack of progress or otherwise, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater
discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that trades on a national securities exchange and
has a large public float.
A variety of factors could have
a substantial effect on the price of the Company’s common stock, its volatility, its trading volume and other stock market-related
trading characteristics.
Some of these factors relate to
a company’s performance, such as management’s ability to meet
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 36 |
growth projections and
expectations, quarterly operating results versus those of other companies in the same industry, a company’s ability to navigate
changes in general conditions in the economy; and some of these factors relate to investor’s perception and sentiment related to
a company’s performance. Other factors that could affect the price and volatility of a company’s common stock may have little
or nothing to do with the company itself; that is to say, the stock market in general could be subjected to extreme price and volume
fluctuations for geopolitical reasons or reasons due to natural disasters, global trade, growth and other macro-economic factors to name
a few. Such factors can affect the volatility and market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons totally unrelated to
a company’s operating performance; and any or all of these could have the same effect on the Company’s common stock.
These
general market activity factors are, for the most part, beyond the Company’s control and could have an effect on the market
price of the Company’s common stock, regardless of the Company’s operating performance. The Company cannot make any prediction
or projection as to what the prevailing market price for the Company’s common stock will be at any time. Moreover, the OTC Pink
Marketplace is not as liquid of a market as that of the major stock exchanges. The Company cannot assure investors as to the future market
price of the Company’s common stock or the volume of trading that might ensue. Nor can the Company assure investors that the Company’s
common stock will not be particularly volatile or suffer from a lack of liquidity. All of these risk factors could substantially affect
the price of the Company’s common stock regardless of the Company’s performance and could adversely affect an investor’s
ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives.

subjects of volatility, low trading volume, market characteristics and market sentiment can be found below in the subsection to RISK
FACTORS entitled SHORT-FORM DISCLOSURE-AND-COMMENTARY ON RISKS.
The Company previously issued convertible notes
that could cause dilution and/or could result in selling pressure on the Company’s stock which in turn could result in a lower price
for the Company’s stock.
Over the course of many years
before the current management team joined the Company, the Company issued promissory notes that were or are still convertible into the
Company’s common stock at a discount to the market price.
Management has since derecognized
the promissory notes which were time-barred pursuant to the statute of limitations, and renegotiated (through the exchange of warrants)
many of the other promissory notes, thereby substantially reducing the dilution affect that conversions could have had on the Company
and reducing the downward pressure that the sale of shares could have had on the price of the Company’s stock. However, a few promissory
notes still remain outstanding. Despite the Company’s attempts to negotiate with these holders and the Company’s caution that
it intends to vigorously defend against conversion, these promissory notes still remain outstanding. There is no certainty the holders
of these promissory notes won’t try to convert and there is no guarantee that the Company’s legal position will be upheld.
As a result, the former promissory
convertible note holders (the warrant holders) with whom the Company has successfully renegotiated, and the current convertible note holders
with whom the Company
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 37 |
has not successfully
renegotiated, are both in the position to obtain common shares (via an exercise of their warrants or conversion of their promissory notes)
and sell the common shares that they will be issued into the market. The sale of those issued shares could put pressure on the price
of the Company’s common stock in the market, and that generally leads to a lower stock price. Additionally, the dilution caused
by the issuance of these additional shares could adversely impact the Company’s performance and an investor’s ability to
effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives.

risks and commentary on the subjects of convertible securities and dilution of ownership can be found below in the subsection to RISK
FACTORS entitled SHORT-FORM DISCLOSURE-AND-COMMENTARY ON RISKS.
Company management anticipates that the Company
will need to raise additional capital to continue the execution of its business plan and failure to do so could jeopardize the Company’s
ability to continue operations.
The Company’s principal
focus is on mining and mineral management; mineral processing; and liberation of the values contained in its mineral property assets.
To implement its strategy of acquiring properties for its Mineral Portfolio, developing and upgrading those properties through
geological and other testing, and extracting and selling the high-value precious metal contained therein, the Company will need to secure
additional funding.
The Company anticipates it will
need to raise approximately $1,500,000 in capital to both support its operations and prepare for the Regulation A+ (or alternative) capital
raise which it plans to pursue by mid-year 2025. The Company regularly engages in discussions with investors, investment bankers and other
funding sources in its normal course of business, but there is no guarantee that these discussions will be successful or that the Company
will be able to raise the funding it needs to execute its business plans.
Failure to obtain additional funds
could significantly limit or eliminate the Company’s ability to fund planned activities, which could adversely affect the Company’s
business, financial condition, results of operations and performance.
Success in obtaining additional
funds could have a dilutive impact on the Company’s shareholders. Though the Company intends to craft future sales and issuances
of its securities in ways that serve to minimize dilution, any sales that involve the issuance of any common stock or any security that
could be converted into common stock will have a dilutive effect on shareholders. Presuming that the price of the Company’s common
stock is in some way related to or is a function of the Company’s earnings per share, then any sales or issuance of common stock
or a security that could be converted to common stock could also adversely affect the price of the Company’s common stock in the
market, even in circumstances where the issuance is accretive to the Company’s book value. Furthermore, investor sentiment on the
subject of shareholder dilution tends to be negative, which itself could further adversely impact the price of the Company’s common
stock, impact an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions and/or achieve an investor’s investment objectives.

ON RISKS.
Because the Company
has expressly stated that it intends to issue securities to meet its current and future financial and acquisition needs,
and those securities could be shares of common stock or could be convertible securities that convert into shares of common stock, shareholders
and investors could suffer from dilution.
The Company is presently authorized
to issue up to twenty billion (20,000,000,000) shares of common stock, of which five billion (5,000,000,000) are issued and outstanding
as of the date of this filing, and fifty million (50,000,000) shares of preferred stock, of which seven million three hundred seventy-three
thousand (7,373,000) shares have been designated, seven million twenty-seven thousand four hundred forty-nine (7,027,449) are outstanding,
and forty-two million six hundred twenty-seven thousand (42,627,000) shares remain undesignated. Further details covering the breakdown
of the preferred stock by series can be found in the Company’s financial statements and footnotes found in Items 2 and 15 of this
Form 10.
The Company’s Board of Directors
has the authority to cause the issuance of new securities, including but not limited to convertible debt, preferred stock, convertible
preferred stock, common stock, warrants and options.
The Company’s Board of Directors
also has the authority to establish, from the authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock, one or more classes or series of shares,
to designate each such class and series, and fix the rights and preferences of each such class of preferred stock; which class or series
shall have such voting powers (full or limited or no voting powers), such preferences, relative, participating, optional or other special
rights, and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing
for the issuance of such class or series of preferred stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors prior to the
issuance of any shares thereof.
The Company’s common stock
does not carry preemptive rights; consequently, the Company has no obligation to offer current shareholders of its common stock the opportunity
to purchase new shares in proportion to their current holdings. Therefore, in addition to the dilutive effect that new issuances of shares
could have on shareholders, they could also be adversely affected by a dilution in their influence on corporate matters which could result
from the dilution of their voting power.
Consequently, the Company’s
shareholders could experience dilution in their ownership of the Company’s stock and voting power. Presuming that the price of the
Company’s common stock is in some way related to or is a function of the Company’s earnings per share, then any sales or issuance
of common stock or a security that could be converted to common stock could also adversely affect the price of the Company’s common
stock in the market, even in circumstances where the issuance is accretive to the Company’s book value. Furthermore, investor sentiment
on the subject of shareholder dilution tends to be negative, which itself could further adversely impact the price of the Company’s
common stock, impact an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions and/or achieve an investor’s investment objectives.

The Company conducts business in an industry
which is politically out-of-favor, generally unpopular, subject to adverse publicity and could be subject to environmental liabilities.
The Company mining and mineral
business is subject to the federal, state and local Environmental Protection Laws as well as other national and local laws regarding pollutant
discharge, air, water and noise pollution. Although the Company believes that it is in compliance, in all material respects, with the
applicable environmental laws and regulations, if it is determined that the Company is not in compliance or is otherwise in violation
of and of these regulations, the Company could be subject to financial penalties as well as the loss of certain business licenses. Furthermore,
if the national or local government adopts more stringent environmental regulations, the Company may incur significant costs to comply
with such regulations. Failure to comply with present or future environmental regulations could subject the Company to substantial fines,
and/or cause the Company to suspend production or cease operations.
Though the Company incurs usual
and customary costs associated with environmental compliance in its normal course of business, it has not incurred any fines, penalties,
or material costs in connection with any failure to comply with any applicable environmental laws, rules or regulations. However, the
risk of environmental liability over and above the normal costs associated with maintaining compliance with environmental laws, rules
and regulations is inherent in the nature of the mining and minerals business, and there can be no assurance that material environmental
liabilities and compliance costs will not arise in the future.
Rule violations, failures to comply
with regulations, or simply because the Company operates in an out-of-favor sector of the economy such as mining could subject the Company
to political unpopularity and adverse publicity. Additionally, the mere fact that Company operates in the mining business, which is perceived
by the public to be less socially responsible than certain other industries, could make it more difficult for the Company to find, recruit,
hire, employ and retain management and key personnel as well as attract investment capital to fund or grow the Company’s operations.
Failure to overcome any or all of these challenges could adversely impact the Company's performance.
More risks and commentary on the
subjects of environmental compliance and reputational risks can be found below in the subsection to RISK FACTORS entitled SHORT-FORM
DISCLOSURE-AND-COMMENTARY ON RISKS.
The Company’s insurance coverage may be
inadequate to protect the Company from potential losses.
The Company seeks to purchase
various types of insurance and performance bonds to cover various categories of risk, including but not limited to, property risks, liability
risks, life and health risks, worker related risks, cyber-related risks and legal risks.
The Company has engaged a group
of insurance professionals to propose a suite of insurance to
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 40 |
protect the Company,
but the Company has not yet received the full proposal that it seeks. The Company expects that this suite of proposed insurance will
include property insurance; personal injury insurance; accident and medical care insurance; product liability insurance; errors and omissions
insurance; directors and officers liability insurance; business interruption insurance; key-man insurance; cyber-insurance; and other
types of insurance intended designed to protect the Company against other insurable risks. At present the company has only purchased
a limited amount of insurance coverage and therefore does not have insurance covering any and all insurable risks.
Even
presuming that the Company is able to afford all of the insurance that it seeks to purchase, the insurance the Company seeks may
not cover all of the risks the Company may face. Insurance policies have coverage exclusions as well as limitations on the amount of
coverage they offer. Furthermore, even assuming that any such loss might be fully covered, the Company could still be exposed to a loss
due to the time spent processing claims, and the loss of expertise if a loss happens to be associated with the Company’s human
capital.
Although this list is not and
cannot be exhaustive, risks associated with any of the following events could have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s
business, results of operations and performance:
| ● | any business disruption or natural disaster could result in substantial
costs, diversion of resources and possibly other legal liability; |
| ● | any event that that causes damage to, or destruction of, the Company’s
facilities, property, or machinery could result in substantial costs, litigation, business disruption, diversion of resources, liability
for personal injury or death, and possible other legal liability; |
| ● | any event that involves any equipment that the Company has designed, built,
installed, or otherwise put into use or sold to others or allowed others to use or put into use could results in substantial costs, litigation,
product liability, liability for personal injury or death, property damage and possible other legal liability; |
| ● | any event that injures any of the Company’s personnel could result
in substantial costs, litigation, business disruption, diversion of resources, liability for personal injury or death, medical care, and
possible other legal liability; or |
| ● | any event that involves key business personnel could result in substantial
costs, loss of expertise, diversion of resources and possible other legal liability; |
The occurrence of one or more
significant event for which the Company is not fully insured or indemnified, and/or the failure of a party to meet its underwriting or
indemnification obligations, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations, financial condition and performance.
Even with the best, most complete insurance, the Company could still be subjected to exposures and risks that are not covered or not fully
covered by, or are derivative to, the protection that insurance is meant to provide. Moreover, no assurance can be given that the Company
will be able to obtain and maintain adequate insurance in the future, or that the insurance fully covers the loss incurred by the Company.

Mineral
and Mining Industry Risks
In addition to the general business
risks, which are faced by most if not all operating companies, there are certain industry risks, which are faced by companies that specifically
operate in the mineral and mining industry that should also be considered by investors as they evaluate the Company.
1. Exploration
and Development Risks
| ● | Uncertainty of Resources and Reserves: There is often
uncertainty regarding the discovery of economically viable resources or reserves, and the estimates of these resources may change as new
data or technologies emerge, which could adversely impact the value of the Company's asset base and
performance. |
| ● | Development Risk: The process of turning exploration
into productive mining operations involves significant capital expenditure and may face delays, cost overruns, or technical challenges,
any or all of which could adversely impact the Company's performance. |
2. Operational
Risks
| ● | Mining Operations: The company’s ability to
mine successfully can be influenced by technical and operational issues, such as equipment failure, labor disputes, and accidents at the
mining site, any or all of which could adversely impact the Company's performance. |
| ● | Environmental and Safety Risks: Mining is often associated
with significant environmental and safety risks, such as pollution, accidents, or failure to comply with environmental laws, and there
may also be liabilities related to site remediation and the long-term environmental impact of operations, any or all of which could
adversely impact the Company's performance. |
| ● | Production Risks: Variance in raw ore feedstock,
processing issues related to equipment or other issues, extraction and processing challenges, and/or market conditions can result |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 45 |
in lower-than-expected
production levels, any or all of which could adversely impact the Company's performance.
3.
Commodity Price Volatility
| ● | Fluctuating Prices of Metals or Minerals: The profitability
of mining operations is highly sensitive to the prices of the minerals or metals being mined and the cost of the raw materials used in
the production process. A decline in commodity prices for the liberated minerals or metals, or an increase in the cost of raw materials,
whether due to market conditions or other factors, can have a significant adverse effect on the Company’s revenue and profitability
and impact the Company's performance. |
|
● |
Hedging
Risks: Mining companies which use commodity hedging strategies to manage price volatility may, inadvertently or otherwise, undertake
additional, disclosable risks related to the commodity based financial instruments used to effectuate those hedges, and may generate
losses on its hedging contracts, which could adversely
impact the Company's performance. |
4. Regulatory
and Legal Risks
|
● |
Changes
in Mining Laws and Regulations: Mining companies are subject to a wide range of local, state, federal, and international regulations.
Any changes in these laws or regulations (such as stricter environmental or labor laws) can increase costs, delay projects, or even
halt operations which could adversely impact the Company's
performance. |
|
● |
Permitting
and Licensing Risks: Mining companies must secure various permits and licenses for exploration, development, and operation. There
is a risk of delays or denials in obtaining or renewing these permits, which can disrupt operations and/or adversely
impact the Company's performance. |
|
● |
Litigation:
Mining companies can face legal challenges from various stakeholders, including landowners, environmental groups, or regulatory agencies,
and resolving those legal challenges through lawsuits or otherwise can result in significant legal and financial costs which could
adversely impact the Company's performance. |
5. Environmental
and Climate Risks
|
● |
Environmental
Compliance: Non-compliance with environmental regulations, which cover are host of activities including, but not limited to, dust
generation, use of hazardous processing chemicals, disposal of waste, water usage, and contamination or pollution of water, ground,
and air, can result in fines, shutdowns, or reputational damage, any or all of which could
adversely impact the Company's performance. |
|
● |
Climate
Change: Changing weather patterns, extreme weather events, or other effects of climate change can affect the availability of resources,
disrupt operations, or increase costs which could
adversely impact the Company's performance. |
6. Geopolitical
Risks
|
● |
Political
Instability: Mining operations in certain regions or foreign countries may be exposed to political risks such as civil unrest,
expropriation, nationalization of resources, |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 46 |
or changes in government
policies that can affect the company’s ability to operate and adversely
impact the Company's performance.
|
● |
Foreign
Operations: Mining operations in certain regions or foreign countries, may be subject to different laws and risks associated with
currency fluctuations, trade barriers, and foreign government actions which could
adversely impact the Company's performance. |
7. Infrastructure
and Resource Risks
|
● |
Access
to Infrastructure: Mining operations often depend on access to infrastructure such as roads, railways, ports, water, and energy
supplies, and disruptions in access to infrastructure can significantly affect production and cost structures and could adversely
impact the Company's performance. |
|
● |
Labor
and Workforce: Labor shortages, strikes, or unionization efforts can disrupt operations and challenges to secure skilled labor
and fluctuating labor costs could adversely impact
the Company's performance. |
8. Financial
Risks
|
● |
Funding
and Capital Requirements: Mining projects can be capital-intensive. Mining companies may face difficulties in securing financing
for such projects, especially if they are large-scale and/or long-term, and both the ability to access capital markets and the cost
of capital can be influenced by economic conditions and investor sentiment, among other factors, which could adversely
impact the Company's performance. |
|
● |
Debt
and Liquidity Risks: Mining companies operate in a capital-intensive business environment and significant debt or undercapitalization
can cause liquidity issues, especially during periods of low commodity prices or operational disruptions, the effects of which could
adversely impact the Company's performance. |
9. Technology
and Innovation Risks
|
● |
Adoption
of New Technology: The mining industry often faces technological risks related to the introduction of new mining techniques, automation,
or environmental technologies, and failure to keep up with these technological innovations can result in higher costs or reduced productivity
which could adversely impact the Company. |
|
● |
Cybersecurity
Risks: Mining companies increasingly rely on digital infrastructure for operations, and any breach in cybersecurity could disrupt
operations or compromise sensitive data and could adversely
impact the Company's performance. |
10. Reputation
Risks
|
● |
Community
Relations: Mining companies can face opposition from local communities, environmental activists, or indigenous groups, which can
lead to reputational damage, protests, or project delays, any or all of which could adversely
impact the Company's performance. |
|
● |
Social
Responsibility and Ethics: Companies may face scrutiny over their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, especially
if they are perceived to be neglecting social responsibility in favor of profits, which could adversely
impact the Company's performance. |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 47 |
11. Depletion
of Resources
|
● |
Resource
Depletion: Mining operations are typically finite, and the company may eventually deplete its reserves. If new reserves are not
discovered or developed in time, the company’s ability to continue operations may be at risk, which could adversely
impact the Company's performance. |
Company
Specific Risks
In addition to the general business
risks, which are faced by most if not all operating companies, and certain industry risks, which are faced by companies that specifically
operate in the mineral and mining industry, the following risks should also be considered by investors as they evaluate the Company.
1. Business Model Risk
| ● | Unproven Business Model: The Company is in the early stages of developing
its as yet unproven business model, which could turn out to be among many other things, unworkable, subject to significant competition,
unscalable, and/or unable to achieve profitability, any or all of which could adversely impact the
Company's performance. |
| ● | Market Competition: The Company could be at a disadvantage against
larger, well-established competitors that have more resources, brand recognition, and market share, which
could adversely impact the Company's performance. |
| ● | Misalignment with Core Business Strategy: The Company’s business
model could deviate from the core competencies of the Company’s management, which could make it more difficult to manage and execute

| ● | Underperformance, Termination or Abandonment Risk: The Company may
face challenges as it attempts to develop, upgrade, and monetize certain assets and may be forced to prematurely terminate or abandon
operations that are non-performing or underperforming, leading to a loss of invested capital, reputational damage, or legal consequences
any or all of which could adversely impact the Company's performance. |
2. Operational, Execution and Governance Risks
| ● | Dependence on Management: The Company relies heavily on the skillset,
expertise and experience of a small group of individuals (e.g. executives, management, key personnel, subject matter experts), whose departure
could delay or jeopardize operations or otherwise harm the company’s prospects, which could adversely impact the Company's performance. |
| ● | Operational Challenges and Inefficiencies: The Company could face
significant challenges in building out efficient operations, optimizing internal processes, managing supply chains, interfacing with financial
partners, or encounter problems in a host of other operational, administrative or management areas, any or all of which could adversely
impact the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Limited Operating History: The relative newness and limited operating
history of Company’s current management team presents challenges for investors, potential investors, and other funding sources to
assess their capabilities, long-term viability, and performance, and the results of their business strategies, which could adversely impact
the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Dependence on Limited Operations: The Company's dependence on limited
operations, which could be disrupted for a multitude of reasons that are outside of management’s control, could adversely impact
the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Resource Constraints: The Company could suffer from a lack of necessary
resources (e.g. talent, technology, equipment, labor, financial) to successfully execute its business plans, especially given the size,
scope and complexity of the Company’s business, which could adversely impact the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Scalability: The Company may face risks associated with its ability
to scale operations efficiently, which could adversely impact the Company’s performance. |

may be dependent on achieving certain outcomes (e.g. performance targets, operational standards, profitability |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 49 |
goals), and
the risk of not meeting these expected outcomes could adversely impact the Company’s performance.
| ● | Integration Challenges: The Company’s business plans involve
integrating new projects, new partners, new resources, and possibly new methodologies, technologies, systems, and/or processes, and the
failure to do so or the failure of this integration to deliver the expected efficiencies could adversely impact the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Recruitment, Retention and Other Workforce-related Risks: The Company
could struggle to attract or retain the right talent for its operations, thereby potentially affecting the quality or timeliness in executing
its business plans, or face challenges from other labor-related issues, such as strikes, unionization efforts, or employee dissatisfaction,
which could also disrupt operations and adversely impact the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Unstable or Inexperienced Management: The Company could experience
challenges as it assembles and expands its management team (e.g. engaging poorly-chosen, inexperienced, ineffective or uncooperative personnel)
due to resource constraints or other factors, which could result in high turnover rates, poor decision-making, ineffective leadership
and other actions that could cause the Company to fail, under-perform, hinder growth or otherwise adversely impact the Company’s
performance. |
| ● | Lack of Effective Corporate Governance: The Company could experience
challenges resulting from its recent adoption of new formed business plans, lack of operating experience, lack of robust internal controls
and/or lack of independent oversight, any or all of which could lead to fraud, mismanagement, or conflicts of interest which could adversely
impact the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Shareholder or Environmental Activism: The Company may face challenges
from activist investors or other shareholders who push for changes in strategy, governance, or management which could adversely impact
the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Security and Theft-related Risks: The Company’s operations
are designed to isolate and concentrate the high-value precious metals that are found in the Company’s Mineral Portfolio,
the transportation of the resulting concentrate from the Company’s location to the buyer’s location, and the ultimate sale
of the concentrate to the buyer, and each step in the process presents security and theft-related risks; and the failure to properly manage
those risks could adversely impact the Company’s performance. |
3. Financial, Funding and Dilution Risks
| ● | Funding Challenges: The Company may face difficulties raising the
necessary capital to fund operations, either through equity, debt, or other financing mechanisms which could impact the viability of the
Company’s business or delay operations which could adversely impact the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Increased Financial Burden: The Company may need to obtain significant
debt or incur equity dilution to finance operations, which could increase financial pressure and/or negatively affect existing shareholders
or otherwise adversely impact the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Operational Uncertainty: There is no guarantee that the Company’s
operations will be successful or profitable, especially since the Company is focusing on a new business model and engaging in new areas
of business activity which have uncertain revenue and profit |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 50 |
potential, which
could adversely impact the Company’s performance.
| ● | Capital Expenditure Concerns: The Company could be negatively impacted
by the potential need for significant capital investment with limited returns until operations mature or scale-up, which could adversely
impact the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Limited Financial Resources: The Company is small, potentially undercapitalized,
and has a history of operating losses, making it harder to weather financial difficulties and/or raise additional capital, which could
adversely impact the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Cash Flow Concerns: The Company could suffer from limited cash flow
which could pose challenges in meeting operating expenses, servicing debt and/or meeting its financial obligations, which could lead to
insolvency, bankruptcy or otherwise impact the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Dilution of Ownership: If the Company needs to raise capital and/or
issues more shares in the future, it may dilute existing shareholders’ ownership and earnings per share and potentially impact the
value of the shareholders’ investment, which could adversely impact the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Convertible Securities: The Company may need to issue convertible
debt or other securities that can be converted into common stock, leading to further dilution of shareholder equity and earning per share,
which could adversely impact the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Lack of Profitability: Since the Company has not historically been
profitable, it may face challenges to achieve profitability in the future, raise capital, and/or continue operations, which could adversely
impact the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Ability to Secure Additional Funding: The Company might require additional
financing, and there is no guarantee that it will be able to raise funds through equity, debt, or other means on favorable terms, or at
all, which could adversely impact the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Ability to Secure Insurance: The Company may face challenges in securing
affordable insurance to cover risks associated with operations, personnel, management and executives, thereby exposing the Company to
the potential financial burdens associated with those uninsured risks which could adversely impact the Company’s performance. |
| ● | Liability and Debt Service: The Company may have outstanding liabilities
and debt, and could risk the inability to pay its liabilities, service its debt and/or meet the covenant requirements, which could adversely
impact the Company’s performance. |
4. Public Market Related Risks
| ● | Low Trading Volume: The Company’s stock could experience limited
trading volumes, meaning it could be difficult for investors to buy or sell shares without causing significant price fluctuations, which
could adversely impact an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s
investment objectives. |
| ● | OTC Pink Marketplace: The Company’s stock is not presently
traded on an exchange but is presently quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace which is an electronic computer network that connects brokers
who handle transactions on behalf of their clients, which could make it difficult for investors to buy or sell shares without causing
significant price fluctuations and could adversely impact an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions in the |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 51 |
Company’s
stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives.
| ● | Unsolicited Quotes Only: The Company’s stock is subject to
the restriction of unsolicited quotes only, which could make it difficult for investors to buy or sell shares without causing significant
price fluctuations and could adversely impact an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve
the investor’s investment objectives. |
| ● | Wide Bid-Ask Spreads: Due to lower demand and limited market participation,
there can be large differences between the price at which investors can buy (ask) and sell (bid) the Company’s stock, which could
adversely impact an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s investment
objectives. |
| ● | High Price Volatility: The Company’s stock could experience
significant price volatility, where prices can change rapidly and unpredictably, which could adversely impact an investor’s ability
to effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives. |
| ● | Susceptibility to Manipulation: The Company’s stock could be
susceptible to, experience or become the target of various price manipulation activities, such as "pump and dump" schemes, wherein
stock prices are artificially inflated by various means before being sold off, leading to sharp declines, which could adversely impact
an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives. |
| ● | Negative Investor Sentiment: The Company’s stock could be susceptible
and vulnerable to rapid shifts in investor sentiment resulting from simple disclosure of bad news to changes in business conditions to
missed earnings targets to a myriad of other events that may be beyond the Company’s control, including items which could even be
based on untrue or inaccurate rumors, any or all of which could disproportionally and adversely impact an investor’s ability to
effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives. |
| ● | Public scrutiny and reporting obligations: Being a publicly traded
company exposes the company to increased scrutiny from analysts, media, investors, and regulators, which could impact its operations and
strategic flexibility and adversely impact an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve
the investor’s investment objectives. |
| ● | Reputation Risks: The Company could face allegations, legal challenges,
or significant operational setbacks which could cause the Company’s stock price to suffer disproportionally due to its heightened
risk perception based on its trading volume, price volatility and other factors, which could adversely impact an investor’s ability
to effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives. |
4. Market Regulation, Financial Reporting and Auditing Risks
| ● | Compliance with SEC and Exchange Rules: The Company must comply with
a range of regulatory requirements, including those relating to reporting, disclosures, and governance, and failure to comply can result
in, among other things, penalties, delisting from exchanges, or loss of public trust, any or all of which could adversely impact an investor’s
ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives. |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 52 |
| ● | Increased Scrutiny: Because the Company is a lower priced stock trading
on the OTC Pink Marketplace, and such stocks have historically been more susceptible to fraud, manipulation, and market abuse, the Company
could face heightened regulatory scrutiny, which can increase operational costs and affect the stock's price and could adversely impact
an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives. |
| ● | Costs of being a public company: The costs of compliance with SEC
regulations (including audit fees, legal fees, and reporting requirements) can be significant and may impact profitability, which could
adversely impact the Company’s performance and an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock
or achieve the investor’s investment objectives. |
| ● | Internal Control Risks: The Company could have less sophisticated
financial reporting and internal control mechanisms which in turn could increase the risk of financial misstatements, errors, or fraud,
and adversely impact the Company’s performance and an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s
stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives. |
| ● | Going Concern Risk: Since the Company has had a history of losses
and is not generating enough cash flow to sustain operations, the auditor may issue a “going concern” opinion, indicating
that there’s significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern which could adversely impact the
Company’s performance and an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s
investment objectives. |
| ● | Risk of Being Delisted from Exchanges: The Company could fail to
meet listing requirements, such as maintaining a minimum share price, maintaining sufficient market capitalization, or failing to meet
minimum disclosure requirements which could result in being delisted from a major exchange like NASDAQ or the NYSE or even suffer a downgrading
from the OTC Pink Marketplace, which could a drop in investor protections, investor interest or stock liquidity which could adversely
impact the Company’s performance and an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve
the investor’s investment objectives. |
5. Regulatory, Legal and Litigation Risks
| ● | Regulatory Risks: The Company engages in and proposes to engage in
business endeavors that are subject to various levels of regulation and may require registration, licenses or cooperation from various
government or industry trade groups, which could subject the Company to delays or other challenges (e.g., from health, safety, environmental,
or financial regulators) which could adversely impact the Company’s performance and an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions
in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives. |
| ● | Compliance Risks: The Company’s operations could be subject
to various laws, regulations, or industry standards, and failure to comply could result in penalties, fines, or operational delays which
could adversely impact the Company’s performance and an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s
stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives. |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 53 |
| ● | Legal liabilities: The Company could face legal risks associated
with new partnerships, contracts, or project liabilities which could adversely impact the Company’s performance and an investor’s
ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives. |
| ● | Litigation risk: The Company could face litigation, including class
action lawsuits, claims, or potential lawsuits from various stakeholders including stockholders, lenders, customers, suppliers, or competitors
which could result in legal costs, settlements, or reputational damage, all of which can drain financial resources and harm its reputation
which could adversely impact the Company’s performance and an investor’s ability to effectuate transactions in the Company’s
stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives. |

Overview of the Company’s Business
The Company’s principal
business is mining and mineral management which includes mineral processing and liberating the values contained in mineral property assets.
The Company is also engaged in adjunct activities that support its primary product line, including the manufacture and sale of mining
equipment and matched purchases and sales of high value precious metals.
The Company actively seeks underutilized,
undervalued and untapped mineral resources and feedstocks for its mining, remediation and recycling businesses. The Company then acquires
these assets and adds them to its Mineral Portfolio. Thereafter, in conjunction with its joint venture partners, the Company upgrades
the financial value of mineral assets through geological testing and develops an operating plan to process and liberate and extract the
high value precious metal constituents contained in those mineral assets. Once liberated and extracted, the Company liquidates the high
value precious metals. The proceeds received from liquidating the high value precious metals are booked as revenue; and the direct costs
associated with the process of liberating those values are booked as cost of goods sold.
The Company’s Plan of Operation for the Next
Twelve Months
The Company just recently completed
its first acquisition for its Mineral Portfolio. This acquisition consists of four (4) mineral assets -- three (3) mineral leases,
which cover a combined total of roughly 717 acres of raw land, and four hundred thirty-two million ($432,000,000) dollars (in audited
asset value) of chattel in the form of mineral tailings that are stored in sequestration pits.
The Company acquired the aforementioned
four (4) mineral assets through the issuance of approximately six million nine hundred thousand (6,900,000) RITE Series NMC shares, six
million nine hundred thousand (6,900,000) warrants, and the assumption of roughly five million ($5,000,000) US dollars in certain liabilities
which were exchanged for one hundred (100%) percent of the stock of two subsidiaries of NMC, Inc. The aforementioned four (4) mineral
assets were and are owned by those two subsidiaries, and thus their ownership was transferred from NMC, Inc. to the Company pursuant to
the transfer of ownership of those subsidiaries. The subsidiaries held and hold the mineral assets on their books at a collective audited
asset value of $432 million.
Each share of RITE Series NMC
is subject to redemption by a sinking fund, or at the option of the holder, convertible into five hundred (500) shares of RITE common
stock. Additionally, each warrant allows the holder to buy five hundred (500) shares of RITE common stock for $15
During the next twelve months,
the Company expects to complete its initial capital raise through the sale of Series D preferred stock to a group of accredited investors
pursuant to a Regulation D Rule 506
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 55 |
offering. Funds
from this capital raise, which is targeted at one million, five hundred thousand ($1,500,000) US dollars, should provide the Company
with sufficient capital to accomplish three things:
| 1. | complete all the requisite activities for the Company to engage in a Regulation
A+ offering and begin the offering accordingly; |
| 2. | develop a pilot processing facility for the sequestered mineral tailings;
|
| 3. | engage in a drilling program to upgrade the Company’s book valuation
for at least some portion of the raw land mineral property leases (pursuant to SEC’s rules on the subject to wit Modernization of
Property Disclosures for Mining Registrants; 17 CFR Parts 229, 230, 239, and 249 [Release Nos. 33-10570; 34-84509; File No. S7-10-16]) |
The Company estimates that the
cost to complete and begin the Regulation A+ offering will approximate two hundred thousand ($200,000) US dollars; the cost to develop
the pilot processing facility will approximate five hundred thousand ($500,000) US dollars; and the cost to engage in a drilling program
will approximate two hundred fifty thousand ($250,000) US dollars. The Company intends to prioritize these activities in the order presented.
Additional funds obtained from the Regulation D Rule 506 offering will be used as working capital.
The Company has designated that
each share of Series D preferred stock shall have a par value of twenty-five ($25) US dollars, shall have voting rights equal to twenty-five
thousand (25,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, and shall be convertible into twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of the
Company’s common stock at the option of the holder. The Company has designated a total of thirty-five thousand (35,000) shares of
Series D preferred stock. Each share will be priced at twenty-five ($25) US dollars and will be accompanied by a warrant which can be
exercised, or surrendered under certain conditions, prior to its expiration, which will grant the holder one additional share of Series
D preferred stock per warrant.
The Company is also engaged in
ongoing discussions with an international funding source which has expressed an interest in funding the matched purchases and sales of
precious metals. If this project proceeds, funds for the project will likely be raised pursuant to a Regulation S offering.
Explanations for the Component Categories of the Company’s Statement
of Financial Position
A company’s Statement of
Financial Position shows the financial status of a company at a given point in time. It is like a snapshot of the company, showing the
company’s assets, which is everything the company owns; its liabilities, which is everything the company owes; and its shareholders’
equity, which is everything that is left over and inures to the company’s owners. It is called a balance sheet because the sum of
assets must equal the sum of the liabilities and shareholders’ equity.
A company’s balance sheet
is divided into three main categories: Assets, Liabilities and Shareholder’s Equity. The formula that connects these sections is:
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders’ Equity. Everything that a company owns (assets) was either funded by capital the company borrowed
(liabilities) or funded by capital the company’s owners have invested in the company (equity).
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 56 |
Assets are what a company owns. Assets are
broken down into two categories:
| ● | Current Assets are items the company owns that
are expected to be used within the year, which typically include: Cash and cash equivalents (those items which can be instantly converted
into cash); Accounts receivable (money owed to the company by customers), notes receivable (money owed to the company by others); Prepaid
services; inventory; and other assets. |
| ● | Non-Current Assets are items the company owns
that are not expected to be used within the year, which typically include: Long-term investments; Property and equipment; Patents; and
other assets. |
Liabilities are what the company owes. Liabilities
are broken down into two categories:
| ● | Current Liabilities are items the company has
borrowed and is expected to pay back within the year, which typically include: Accounts payable (money owed to suppliers); Short-term
debts (money owed to others who are not suppliers); and other obligations. |
| ● | Non-Current (or Long-term) Liabilities are items
the company has borrowed and is expected to pay back, but not within the year, which typically include: Convertible obligations; Notes
payable (typically one to ten years); Long-term bonds (typically more than ten years); Leases; and other obligations. |
Shareholders’ Equity is
what the company’s owners (also known as stockholders or shareholders) have invested in the company, adjusted for the profits and
losses the company has experienced during its existence, and collectively represents what is left over after all assets have been liquidated
and all liabilities have been paid. Shareholders’ Equity is broken down into four categories:
| ● | Preferred stock is the capital that has been
invested in the company for which certain preferential treatment has been given, which may include preferential priority in the payment
of dividends, including a fixed rate or cumulative rights; preferential treatment upon liquidation of certain assets; convertibility into
the company’s other securities, including common stock; weighted or other preferential voting rights; or other items of preference. |
| ● | Common stock is the capital that has been invested
in the company for which no preferential treatment has been given. |
| ● | Additional paid-in capital is capital that has
been paid into the company above the par value of the stock. |
| ● | Retained earnings is the total profits and losses
earned and kept by the company since inception. |

Explanations for the Component Categories of the Company’s Results
of Operations
The Income Statement (also known
as a profit and loss statement or P&L statement) is one of the key financial statements used by the Company to summarize its financial
performance over a specific period, typically a quarter or a year. It shows the Company’s revenues, expenses, and profits or losses
during that period. The purpose of an Income Statement is to provide a clear picture of how well the company is performing financially
and how it is managing its operations. The key components of the Company’s Income Statement are:
| ● | Revenue (or Sales): The total amount of money the Company earns from
its core business activities, before any costs or expenses are deducted. |
| ● | Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): The direct costs of producing the goods
or services that the Company sells, such as raw materials, labor, and processing expenses. |
| ● | Gross Profit: The difference between Revenue and Cost of Goods Sold,
which shows how efficiently the Company is producing and selling its goods or services. |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 60 |
| ● | Operating Expenses (also known as Expenses): These are the costs
incurred from the Company’s normal business operations, such as advertising, bank charges, communications, filings, legal and professional,
market related expenses, office expenses, postage and shipping, supplies, transfer agent, and web and computer services. |
| ● | Operating Income (Loss) (also known as Operating Profit (Loss) or Earnings
Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)): The profit (or loss) the Company makes after deducting operating expenses from its gross profit.
|
| ● | Interest and Depreciation (also known as Other Expenses): This includes
the Company’s interest expense and depreciation. |
| ● | Earnings Before Taxes (EBT): The amount of income the Company
makes before paying taxes, calculated by subtracting interest expenses and depreciation from operating income. The Company has chosen
not to include this line from its financial statements because it is duplicative. |
| ● | Income Tax Expense: The amount of taxes the Company must pay based
on its taxable income. |
| ● | Net Income (or Net Profit/Loss): The final bottom line of the income
statement, representing the company's total profit or loss after all expenses, including taxes, have been deducted from revenues. If the
company has more expenses than revenues, the result is a net loss. |
The table following this commentary,
labeled Income Statement, summarizes the results of operations for the calendar years of 2024 and 2023.
Revenue
The Company’s revenue is
derived from selling, to its customers, mineral commodities derived from its mineral assets and associated activities. These mineral commodities
are sourced from mineral assets that may be leased by the Company from the owners of those minerals, or they may be owned by the Company
and held in the Company’s Mineral Portfolio. The Company mines, processes and sells these mineral commodities. The sale of
these mineral commodities is recognized as revenue. During the calendar year 2024 and 2023 the Company was not able to generate any revenue
from the sale of mineral commodities, but did generate a nominal amount of income in calendar year 2024 from mineral related activities.
The reason for this is because the Company was focused on examining, analyzing, and fixing various legacy issues as well as developing
an entirely new business plan. The Company generated $5,000 in mineral extraction and delivery services in calendar year 2024 and $0 in
calendar year 2023.
Cost of Goods Sold
The Company’s cost of goods
sold represents the costs directly related to and incurred in the production of the commodity products which the Company sells to generate
revenue. Costs associated with mining, extracting, processing, refining, concentrating, selling, transporting and all other handling of
these mineral commodities are included as components of the cost of goods. In the event that the commodity inventory is written down for
any reason, which could result from industrial or transportation related accidents or other events, the costs of that write down are included
in the cost of goods sold. During the calendar year 2024 and 2023 the Company was not able to generate any revenue from the sale of mineral
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 61 |
commodities and therefore
had no costs directly attributable to sales revenue.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is calculated as
revenue minus the cost of goods sold. During the calendar year 2024 and 2023 the Company generated $5,000 and $0, respectively.
Though in the Company’s
case the results of the following calculations are indeterminate due to the fact that the numerators and denominators are both zero, analysts
divide a company’s gross profit by its gross revenue to derive the company’s gross margin which gives them a sense of the
general operating efficiency of the Company. These measures can then be examined and compared to the previous results of the Company and
to other companies within the same industry.
Other income
Other income refers to revenue
or gains that are not part of the Company's primary business operations. These are typically incidental or non-recurring earnings and
are the result of activities that are not associated with the Company’s core business activities, such as interest, dividend and
rental income, gains from the sale of assets, and forgiveness of outstanding obligations. The Company reported $768,378 in other income
for calendar year 2024, and $18,822 in other income for calendar year 2023. The $768,378 in other income for calendar year 2024 and the
$18,822 in other income for calendar 2023 were both as a result of the Company clean-up that was started by new management in November
of 2023 and principally related to the derecognition of time-barred obligations and the renegotiation of other legacy payables.
Expenses
Company expenses which do not
directly relate to the production of commodity products, and therefore do not fall into the category of cost of goods sold, will fall
into the category of general and administrative expenses, or more simply put, expenses.
The Company’s expenses typically
consist of (i) salaries, wages, benefits and share-based compensation that are used to compensate the Company’s employees; (ii)
professional fees and share-based compensation that are used to compensate the Company’s independent contractor consultants and
other outside professionals for services rendered such as legal and accounting; (iii) office related expenses, such as rent and utilities;
(iv) communication expenses, such as phone and internet services; (v) travel expenses, such airline, car rental, hotel, and restaurants;
(vi) bank charges; (vii) advertising; (viii) filings; (ix) supplies; (x) postage and shipping; and (xi) web services. Because the Company
is a public company, expenses will also include (xii) market-related services, such as fees charged by exchanges and/or quotation services
and (xiii) transfer agent services.
The Company incurred expenses
of $249,968 in calendar year 2024, and $84,311 during calendar year 2023. The bulk of the Company’s expenses in calendar year 2024
fell into the categories of Legal and Professional, Filings and Corporate Cleanup, Project Development and Market Related services as
management explored various business opportunities and acquisitions, ultimately deciding to refocus the Company into the mineral and mining
industry. The bulk of the Company’s expenses in calendar year 2023 fell into the categories of Legal and Professional, Business
Transfer Agent services and Market Related services.
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 62 |
Interest and Depreciation
Company expenses which are directly
attributable to the use of borrowed capital (interest expense) and to the usage of fixed assets apportioned over the accounting life of
those fixed assets (depreciation), are reported separately from the Company’s other expenses (cost of goods sold and general and
administrative expenses) because they are considered to be outside of the control of the Company’s operational management. The Company
reported $121,648 in depreciation expense for calendar year 2024, and $11,304 in depreciation expense for calendar year 2023. In calendar
year 2024, the Company wrote-off the entire non-depreciated balance of all legacy office, computer, machinery and equipment as part of
its corporate clean-up, pursuant to its policy of Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, after having deemed them to be non-recoverable. The
Company reported $0 in interest expense for calendar year 2024 and for calendar year 2023.
The separation of depreciation
and interest provides segregated data which allows for various analytics to be performed so investors and others can evaluate the effectiveness
and the efficiency of the Company’s deployment of capital, among other financial performance measures. These measures can then be
examined and compared to the previous results of the Company and to other companies within the same industry.
Income Tax Expense
Because the Company has a substantial
loss carry-forward, there should be $0 in income taxes due and payable for the net income earned by the Company in 2024, and $0 in income
taxes payable for the loss incurred in 2023. Though the Company has not yet filed taxes for calendar year 2024, the Company believes that
it will still have an estimated tax loss carry-forward of $8,242,579 as of December 31, 2024, and $8,639,341 as of December 31, 2023.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income is the total profit
the Company earned after subtracting all costs of goods sold, expenses, depreciation, interest and taxes from total revenue. Net income
is often referred to as the "bottom line" because it appears at the bottom of an income statement, and it indicates how much
money remains after all financial obligations have been met. The Company reported $396,762 in net income for calendar year 2024 and $76,793
in net losses for calendar year 2023.
Earnings Per Shares (Loss)
Earnings (Loss) per share
(also known as basic net income/loss per share) is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted
net income/loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents.
Common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of diluted net income/loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.
The net income for calendar
year 2024 of $396,762 translated into earnings per share of $0.000091 based on the weighted average of 4,357,321,532 outstanding shares
at the beginning of the period and 4,347,776,842 outstanding shares at the end of the period. The net loss for calendar year 2023 of $76,793
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 63 |
translated into
a loss of $0.000018 per share based on 4,357,321,532 outstanding shares. The number of shares declined in 2024 by 9,544,690 shares as
a result of a reclamation and cancellation of shares undertaken by the Company pursuant to an action taken by the Securities and Exchange
commission against a holder of the Company’s stock.

Explanations for the Component Categories of the Company’s Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The Statement of Cash Flows
is one of the primary financial statements used by the Company to track the flow of cash in and out of the Company over a specific period,
typically for a quarter or year. This statement provides insight into the Company's liquidity, solvency, and overall financial health.
It is divided into three main sections:
| 1. | Operating Activities: This section shows the cash generated or used by the company's core business operations.
It includes cash inflows from customers, cash outflows for operating expenses, and adjustments for non-cash items like depreciation. |
| 2. | Investing Activities: This section reflects the cash flow from the purchase and sale of long-term assets
such as property, plant, equipment, and investments in securities. |
| 3. | Financing Activities: This section outlines cash flows related to the Company's financial structure, including
the issuance or repurchase of stock, borrowing and repaying loans, and dividend payments to shareholders. |
The Statement of Cash Flows shows
how the Company’s cash position changes over time, providing valuable information about the Company’s ability to generate
cash, meet obligations, and fund future investments.
The table following this commentary,
labeled Cash Flow Statement, summarizes the cash flows for the Company for the calendar years of 2024 and 2023.
Operating Activities - Affecting the Company’s
Cash Flow Statement
The Operating Activities section
of the Cash Flow Statement shows the cash generated or used by the company's core business operations. It includes cash inflows from customers,
cash outflows for operating expenses, and adjustments for non-cash items like depreciation.
Net Income (Loss) from Operations
Net income (Loss) is the bottom-line
number carried over from the Company’s income statement. Net income (Loss) is the total profit the Company earned after subtracting
all costs of goods sold, expenses, depreciation, interest and taxes from total revenue. The Company reported $396,762 in net income for
calendar year 2024 and $76,793 in net losses for calendar year 2023.
Adjustments for non-cash items
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 65 |
Certain
items do not affect the cash situation of the Company because they involve non-cash expenses such as depreciation, which is the apportionment
of a fixed asset over its accounting life. Since these items are of a non-cash nature, they must be added back to accurately establish
the cash flow for the Company. The Company reported non-cash items of $121,648 in depreciation expenses for calendar year 2023, because
the Company wrote off, pursuant to its policy of Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, all legacy office, computer,
machinery and equipment as non-recoverable. The Company reported non-cash items of $11,304 in depreciation expenses for calendar year
2023 which was the normal amount of depreciation the Company had been assessing on its office, computer, machinery and equipment for years.
Non-cash Expenses
Expenses that the Company settles
in a manner other than by the payment of cash, such as using stock (instead of cash) to pay off (by conversion) a convertible note. The
Company reported $900,877 in non-cash expenses due to the derecognition of certain time-barred obligations and the conversion of certain
other obligations to warrants in 2024 and $0 in non-cash expenses for calendar year 2023.
Changes in Operating Assets and Liabilities
- (Increase) Decrease in Receivables and Prepaids
When the Company sells a product
to a customer on credit, the Company increases its receivables, and its cash position remains unchanged. When the customer then pays the
Company for that transaction, the Company’s cash balance increases and its receivables decrease by the same amount. When the Company
prepays for an upcoming expense, its cash balance decreases. As such, changes in the Company’s receivables and prepaids affect the
Company’s cash position. The (Increase) Decrease in Receivables and Prepaids will reflect the net balance of these increases and
decreases. The Company reported a $6,496 increase in 2024 and a $11,960 decrease for calendar year 2023.
Changes in Operating Assets and Liabilities
- Increase (Decrease) in Current Liabilities
When the Company purchases a product
or service from a supplier on credit or takes on an obligation which will require future payment by the Company, the Company increases
its payables, and its cash position remains unchanged. When the Company then pays for that product, service or obligation, the Company’s
cash balance decreases and its payables decrease by the same amount. As such, changes in the Company’s payables affect the Company’s
cash position. The Company reported a $5,010,552 increase in liabilities in 2024, of which $5,000,000 was attributable to the guarantee
of certain payables as a result of the NMC acquisition and the remaining $10,552 was attributable to normal Company operations. The Company
reported a $2,232 decrease in liabilities for calendar year 2023.
Net Cash provided from Operating Activities
The combination of the net income
(loss) from operations, the adjustments for non-cash items, the non-cash expenses and the changes in operating Assets and Liabilities
sum to the Net Cash provided from Operating Activities, which reflects the change in the Company’s cash activities due to its operations.
The Company reported a $4,103,179 increase in net cash provided from operating activity in 2024 and a $55,761 decrease in net cash provided
from operating activity for calendar year 2023.
Investing Activities - Affecting the Company’s
Cash Flow Statement
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 66 |
The Investing Activities section
of the Cash Flow Statement shows the cash flow resulting from the purchase and sale of long-term assets such as property, plant, equipment,
and financial investments.
Purchase of Assets
The purchase of assets is not
a core component of the Company’s operations, which is mining and mineral processing. However, since the Company actively seeks
underutilized, undervalued and untapped mineral resources and feedstocks for its mining, remediation and recycling businesses, the acquisition
of mineral assets for the Company’s Mineral Portfolio is expected to occur on an occasional basis, nonetheless. While the
Company seeks to acquire mineral assets through mergers, processing agreements, classic joint venture models, or royalty agreements, it
expects that it will also make, from time to time, direct acquisitions. Some of those direct acquisitions will be paid for with the Company’s
securities, others will be paid for with cash, others may be paid for by the assumption of debt, and still others with some combination
of cash, securities and debt assumption. The purchase of assets line in the Cash Flow Statement will reflect asset acquisitions and other
similar non-core investment activities of the Company, such as the purchase of property, plant, equipment, mineral assets and/or financial
investments. The Company reported $432,240,000 in asset investment activities for calendar year 2024 which was derived from the $432,000,000
in value acquired from the NMC acquisition and the $240,000 in value acquired from Goldfield intellectual property, equipment and inventory
acquisition. The Company reported $0 in asset investment activities for calendar year 2023.
Sale of Assets
The Company may, from time to
time, sell the assets such as property, plant and equipment or financial investments it previously purchased. This net cash from investing
activities line in the Cash Flow Statement will reflect the cash received from the sale of previously acquired assets such as the purchase
of property, plant and equipment or financial investments. The Company reported no net cash from investing activity for calendar year
2024, and for calendar year 2023.
Net Cash from Investing Activities
The combination of funds expended
and received from the purchase and sale of property, plant and equipment or financial instruments sums to the Net Cash Provided from Investing
Activities. The Company reported the use of $432,240,000 for calendar year 2024 and $0 for calendar year 2023.
Financing Activities - Affecting the Company’s
Cash Flow Statement
The Financing Activities section
of the Cash Flow Statement shows the cash flow resulting from changes in the Company’s financial structure, including the issuance
or repurchase of stock, borrowing and repaying loans, and dividend payments to shareholders.
Proceeds from notes payable
When the Company sells notes to
investors, the Company receives an inflow of cash. The Company reported $28,222 of cash inflow from proceeds from notes payable for calendar
year 2024, and $0 of cash inflow from proceeds for notes payable for calendar year 2023.
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 67 |
Share purchases (et al)
When the Company sells stock or
other securities, such as warrants, options (contractual rights), to investors, to its independent contractor consultants or to others,
or uses its securities to make acquisitions, the Company receives an inflow of cash (or equivalents). The Company reported $427,593,009
in share purchases for calendar year 2024, which was the combined total of funds received from investors who invested in the Company’s
Series C preferred, Series D $25 preferred, Series NMC $25 preferred and the additional paid-in-capital associated with those purchases,
and $54,000 from share purchases for calendar year 2023.

Net Cash Provided from Financing Activities
The combination of proceeds from
notes payable and share purchases (et al) sum to the Net Cash Provided from Financing Activities, which reflects the change in the Company’s
cash activities due to changes in the Company’s financial structure. The Company reported a $427,621,231 increase in net cash provided
from financing activities for calendar year 2024, and a $54,000 increase in net cash provided from financing activity for calendar year
2023.
Increase /(Decrease in Cash)
The combination of proceeds from
each of the three sections of the Statement of Cash Flow, those being the net cash provided from Operating Activities, Investing Activities
and Financing Activities sum to the Increase / (Decrease) in Cash that the Company has experienced over the relevant time period. The
Company reported a $2,821 increase in cash for calendar year 2024, and a $1,761 decrease in cash for calendar year 2023.
Cash at Beginning of Period
The cash that the Company had
available at the beginning of each period is, of course, the same amount of cash that the Company had at the end of the previous period.
These balances are important for understanding how cash moved in and out of the Company over time, providing a baseline against which
cash inflows and outflows during the period can be measured. The Company reported $7,637 of cash at the beginning of the period for calendar
year 2024, and $9,398 of cash at beginning of period for calendar year 2023.
Cash at End of Period
The combination of
the increase / (decrease) in cash and the cash at beginning of period sum to the cash at end of period. The Company reported $10,458 of
cash at end of period for calendar year 2024, and $7,637 of cash at end of period for calendar year 2023.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Operational Considerations
The Company is executing a new
business plan under the direction of new management. The Company cannot guarantee it will be successful in its business operations. The
Company’s business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise as well as a myriad of other risk
factors that have been outlined in this Form 10 and elsewhere, any or all of which could adversely impact the Company’s performance.
The Company is presently engaged in and intends to conduct additional capital formation activities through the issuance of preferred and
common stock or other securities to establish sufficient working capital and to expand its operations. The Company can make no assurance
that future financing will be available or on acceptable terms. If the Company’s business operations are not successful, or the
Company is unable to navigate the risks outlined herein and elsewhere, or if the Company
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 69 |
is not able to secure
financing or financing is not available on acceptable terms, then the Company may be unable to continue, develop or expand operations,
which could adversely impact the Company’s performance. Furthermore, if the Company accepts convertible or equity financing, this
could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Though management of the Company
believes that the Company will be successful in executing its business plans, navigating the risks and in its capital formation activities,
there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain funding, raise additional equity capital or be able to generate sufficient revenues
to sustain its operations. Furthermore, given the significant changes that the Company has recently undergone, there is only a limited
amount of relevant historical financial information about the Company available upon which to base an evaluation of its performance.
Going Concern
Though management of the Company
believes that the Company will be successful in its capital formation and operating activities, there can be no assurance that it will
be able to obtain funding, raise additional equity or debt capital or be able to generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations.
The Company is presently engaged in and intends to conduct additional capital formation activities through the issuance of preferred and
common stock or other securities to establish sufficient working capital and to expand its operations. The Company has incurred an operating
loss since its inception and the Company’s present cash resources are insufficient to meet its planned business objectives. These
and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which contemplate continuation of the Company
as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability
of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Convertible Obligations
The Company has issued convertible
obligations to multiple lenders where the obligation is convertible into common stock, at the lender's option, in the event the Company
does not fully repay the lender. Except for one lender, whose beneficial owner is affiliated with another lender who lent money to the
Company during 2021, there have been no conversions and no requests for conversion in recent years.
It is the Company's belief that
all obligations that were issued prior to 2016 and were dormant, had passed the statute of limitations for collection procedures. During
June 2024, the Company obtained a legal opinion in support of its position; and in the quarter ending June 30, 2024, the Company removed
those obligations from its books and adjusted its financial statements accordingly.
Additionally, during June 2024,
the Company obtained a legal opinion regarding the application of Section 3(a)9 to a precedent condition of a previously negotiated agreement.
Obtaining this legal opinion triggered the conversion of certain current obligations into warrants to acquire Series C preferred shares
of
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 70 |
the Company and allowed the Company to remove those
obligations from its books and adjust the Company’s financial statements accordingly.
The table below summarizes the
convertible obligations that remain on the Company’s books and records after taking into consideration the aforementioned adjustments.
The Company believes, based on
the decision rendered by the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and the interpretive guidance promulgated by the Securities
Exchange Commission regarding toxic financings, toxic lenders and the distribution of securities by unregistered dealers, as defined in
Section 15(a)(1) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, that the four (4) remaining convertible obligations are voidable. The Company
has legally noticed the convertible obligation holders and has taken additional steps to minimize the potential dilution effects that
could result from the conversion of these four (4) remaining outstanding obligations. The Company’s efforts notwithstanding, these
remaining obligations may be subject to the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion privileges afforded to the holder.
In the event that the presumed-to-be-voidable
obligations listed in the table below are determined to not be voidable, then the Company believes that the obligation marked with an
asterisk may be outside the statute of limitations for collection procedures and may have (i) been partially settled by the issuance of
shares of common stock and may be subject to additional issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion privileges afforded
the holder or (ii) remains a fully unsettled obligation of the Company subject to the conversion privileges afforded the holder.
In the event that the presumed-to-be-voidable
obligations listed in the table below are determined to not be voidable, then the Company believes that the obligations that are marked
with an plus sign may still be within the statute of limitation for collection procedures and may be subject to the issuance of shares
of common stock pursuant to the conversion privileges afforded to the holder.

Deferred Offering Costs
The Company defers, as other assets,
the direct incremental costs of raising capital until such time as the offering is completed. At the time of the completion of the offering,
the costs are charged against the capital raised. Should the offering be terminated, deferred offering costs are charged to operations
during the period in which the offering is terminated.
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 71 |
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income
taxes according to the ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements
or in tax returns. Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities
using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be and, to the extent
it believes, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that the Company’s portion of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to income tax expense. In evaluating the Company’s
ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including projected future
taxable income, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and recent financial operations.
The Company accounts for uncertainty
in income taxes recognized in the financial statements by applying a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized.
First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination by the taxing
authorities. If the tax position is deemed more-likely-than-not to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount
of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The amount of benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater
than fifty (50%) percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. To the extent the Company determines that such tax provisions
will not be sustained, the provision for income taxes would include the effects of any resulting income tax reserves, or unrecognized
tax benefits, that are considered appropriate as well as the related net interest and penalties.
Material Capital Commitments
Management expects that developing
the mineral properties that the Company recently acquired will take substantial financial resources which the Company intends to raise
in stages.
The Company is currently engaged
in a Regulation D Rule 506 offering through which it intends to raise one million, five hundred thousand ($1,500,000) US dollars. The
Company has already raised $17,500. The Company expects to complete this capital raise within the next twelve months, if not substantially
sooner.
Under the terms of this offering,
the Company expects to raise the one million, five hundred thousand ($1,500,000) US dollars through the sale of Series D preferred stock
to a group of accredited investors. Funds from this capital raise should provide the Company with sufficient capital to accomplish three
things:
| 1. | complete all the requisite activities for the Company to engage in a Regulation
A+ offering and begin the offering accordingly; |
| 2. | develop a pilot processing facility for the sequestered mineral tailings;
|
| 3. | engage in a drilling program to upgrade the Company’s book valuation
for at least some |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 72 |
portion of
the raw land mineral property leases (pursuant to SEC’s rules on the subject to wit Modernization of Property Disclosures for Mining
Registrants; 17 CFR Parts 229, 230, 239, and 249 [Release Nos. 33-10570; 34-84509; File No. S7-10-16])
The Company estimates that the
cost to complete and begin the Regulation A+ offering will approximate two hundred thousand ($200,000) US dollars; the cost to develop
the pilot processing facility will approximate five hundred thousand ($500,000) US dollars; and the cost to engage in a drilling program
will approximate two hundred fifty thousand ($250,000) US dollars. The Company intends to prioritize these activities in the order presented.
Additional funds obtained from the Regulation D Rule 506 offering will be used as working capital.
The Company has designated that
each share of Series D preferred stock shall have a par value of twenty-five ($25) US dollars, shall have voting rights equal to twenty-five
thousand (25,000) shares of the Company’s common stock, and shall be convertible into twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of the
Company’s common stock at the option of the holder. The Company has designated a total of thirty-five thousand (35,000) shares of
Series D preferred stock. Each share will be priced at twenty-five ($25) US dollars and will be accompanied by a warrant which can be
exercised, or surrendered under certain conditions, prior to its expiration, which will grant the holder one additional share of Series
D preferred stock per warrant.
Upon the conclusion of the Regulation
D Rule 506 offering, the Company intends to engage in a Regulation A+ offering. Pursuant to Regulation A+, Tier I, the Company can raise
up to twenty million ($20,000,000) US dollars. Pursuant to Regulation A+, Tier II, the Company can raise up to seventy-five million ($75,000,000)
US dollars. The use of proceeds of the Regulation A+ offering will stipulate that eighty (80%) percent of the first sixteen million ($16,000,000)
US dollars of net funds raised would be used exclusively to pay for project development and the liabilities that the Company agreed to
assume pursuant to its recent acquisition of the subsidiary companies acquired from NMC, Inc. All non-earmarked funds, which include the
other twenty (20%) percent of the first sixteen million ($16,000,000) US dollars, and all funds raised in excess of sixteen million ($16,000,000)
US dollars would be split fifty (50%) percent towards the RITE Series NMC sinking fund obligation and the liabilities assumed pursuant
to the acquisition; and the other fifty (50%) percent will be used for working capital. This percentage split will continue until such
time as all of the RITE Series NMC preferred stock, issued pursuant to the acquisition, has been either repurchased by the sinking fund
or converted into shares of RITE common stock
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the periods covered by the Company’s financial
statements, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Property and Equipment Depreciation and Depletion
Property that is subject to depreciation
and equipment are recorded at historical cost. Major additions and renewals are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful
lives. The Company uses
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 73 |
the straight-line method of depreciation. The estimated
useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows:
Office and
computer equipment |
3-7 years |
Machinery and equipment
|
5-10 years |
Property that is subject to depletion
is recorded at historical cost. The Company accounts for depletion using the Unit-of-Production method of accounting. Under this methodology,
the cost of the property and the cost of major additions to the property, such as development costs, exploration costs, and other costs
directly attributable to bringing the resource to the point of extraction are capitalized and then depleted based on the amount of resource
extracted during the period.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s discussion
and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based on the Company’s financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP.” The preparation of these
financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reported period and in the accompanying notes. In accordance with GAAP, management’s estimates are based on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ
from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
For additional discussion of the
Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates, as well as the Company’s significant accounting policies, see the notes
to the Company’s audited financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Registration Statement on Form 10. Management believes
those accounting policies are critical to the process of making significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of the Company’s
financial statements.
Investment In Subsidiaries
The Company’s operating
projects are generally segregated into subsidiaries. The Company does this for a variety of reasons. In some cases, certain series of
the Company’s securities may have been granted priority claims to the assets of a particular subsidiary. In other cases, operations
may engage specific joint venture partners which are entitled to a contractual share of the revenue or net revenue being generated by
a project or a subsidiary. In still other cases, the Company may feel the need to segregate operations based on legal, risk, accounting
or other factors. Management exercises its discretion in making such decisions.
The Company consolidates onto
its financial statements all of its activities and that of its wholly owned subsidiaries, and in so doing, eliminates all intercompany
balances and transactions.
When making an acquisition of
an entity that the Company intends to operate as a subsidiary or otherwise, the Company will generally hold the assets and liabilities
so acquired on its balance sheet at the
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 74 |
same basis that they
were held by the entity prior to being acquired, subject to a determination by the Company’s accountants and auditors that doing
so is in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB. In the event that the Company determines that a mineral asset is not sufficiently documented to meet the requirements
of the SEC’s Modernization of Property Disclosures for Mining Registrants (17 CFR Parts 229, 230, 239, and 249 [Release
Nos. 33-10570; 34-84509; File No. S7-10-16]), the Company will hold those assets on its balance sheet at a value of zero ($0) until such
time as the Company obtains an SEC / JORC compliant reserve report.
Principles for Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Company management has not knowingly
nor willfully implemented any new accounting pronouncements that could have had any material impact on the preparation or presentation
of the accounting results that have been reported for the periods covered by these financial statements unless otherwise disclosed. Management
does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its
financial position or results of operations.
Item
3. Properties.
The Company owns roughly four
hundred thirty-two million ($432,000,000) dollars (in audited asset value) of chattel as part of its Mineral Portfolio, consisting
of mine and mineral tailings that are stored in multiple sequestration pits. The Company also owns a de minimis amount of equipment,
tools that is stored in over-the-road trailers related to its equipment manufacturing business.
The Company also owns certain
trade secrets and specialized industry knowledge, intellectual property relating to its manufacturing business, and various internet domain
assets.
Item
4. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.
The following table sets forth
certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s preferred and common stock as of December 31, 2024
for (i) each of our directors and named executive officers (“NEO’s”) on an individual basis and our directors and executive
officers on a group basis and (ii) any securityholder who beneficially owns more than five (5%) percent of any class or series of the

in the table have sole voting
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 75 |
and sole investment
power with respect to all shares that are beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.
The beneficial ownership figures
presented in the table below are derived from the Company’s stock records. These beneficial ownership percentages were calculated
based on the number of shares of each class and series of preferred and common stock as denoted in the table as of December 31, 2024.
The beneficial ownership figures
do not include the shares of common stock that may be issued and outstanding upon conversion of the Series B, Series C, Series D and Series
NMC preferred stock beneficially owned by the Series B, Series C, Series D and Series NMC preferred stockholders, respectively, listed
in the table below. However, in order to ensure that the Company has provided full, fair and accurate disclosure, the table below includes

President, Director, Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer |
There are no other persons who
have been nominated or chosen to become directors nor are there any other persons who have been chosen to become executive officers.
The Company is presently vetting
interim candidates and intends to expand its board of directors to a five-member board by appointing four (4) new members to the board
prior to the next election. The Company is also developing and will soon begin to vet a slate of candidates which it intends to propose
to the Company’s shareholders for their vote at the Company’s next shareholder meeting.
Information about the Company’s Officers and Directors
The educational and business experience
of Mr. James Burgauer, the Company’s President, Director, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer is as follows:
Mr. Burgauer holds both a Bachelor
of Science (BS) degree in Business from the University of Illinois (Summa Cum Laude) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from
Illinois State University. While still a business student, Mr. James Burgauer and his associates founded a mutual fund, an investment
advisor, a broker-dealer and a transfer agent. He personally wrote the software required to run the mutual fund and transfer agent –
and this experience ultimately led him to buy a software company in the early 1980’s which became the world’s leader in diagnostic
software, embedding their products into the operating systems used by virtually every major computer company existing at that time.
With regards to the financial
services industry, Mr. Burgauer began his professional career with a predecessor firm of Shearson American Express. After selling his
software company and publishing his first investment book in 1987, Mr. Burgauer founded AISCO Holdings, Ltd. and its many subsidiaries,
including two more brokerage firms, an investment advisor, an insurance agency, and a commodity firm. He served that conglomerate as its
Chief Executive Officer and its Chairman of the Board of Directors. He held, among others, Series Licenses 3, 4, 5, 7, 24, 27, 53 and
63. He was also commissioned by major Wall Street wire-houses to write a second book, which they then gave out by the thousands as promotional
gifts to their best clients. Under his tenure, AISCO Holdings grew into a financial services conglomerate — managing over $700 million
in assets and employing approximately 300 licensed personnel. By March of
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 78 |
2000, AISCO Holdings,
Ltd. was merged into a public entity, and Mr. Burgauer semi-retired to the lifestyle of a consultant. Within a few years Mr. Burgauer
began dealing in the commodity markets again — but this time he focused on the purchase and sale of physical commodities rather
than the paper trading of them.
In the last five years, Mr. Burgauer,
through his consulting company, MIS Consulting, Inc., has been engaged by financial services firms such as BlackRock, Berthel Fisher and
J.P. Morgan to train Series 7 and 24 candidates, and by other firms such as the Securities Institute of America to provide technology
and other education related services. Outside of the financial services industry, Mr. Burgauer and his consulting company have been engaged
in various mineral and mining projects as well as corporate, business and computer consulting services. Clients for these services include
SiteWorx USA and MineralRite Corporation. He was first engaged as a consultant for the Company in August of 2022.
The Company now enjoys the benefits
of having a seasoned, multi-talented, proven manager at its helm, who has contacts and specialized knowledge in the securities industry
and in the physical purchase, sales, delivery and processing of commodities including precious, semi-precious and base metals.
Term of Office - Directors
The Company’s directors
are appointed to hold office until the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders after their appointment or until such director’s
successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal from office in accordance with
the Company’s Bylaws as amended.
Term of Office - Officers
The Company’s officers are
appointed by the Company’s board of directors and hold office until removed by the board, subject to any respective employment agreements.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships
between or among the directors and executive officers.
General Conflicts of Interest
The Company’s directors
and officers are, or may become, in their individual capacities, officers, directors, controlling shareholders and/or partners of other
entities engaged in a variety of businesses, including businesses that are similar in scope or operation to the business of the Company.
As such, there exists potential conflicts of interest including, among other things, the disposition of time, effort and opportunity,
in relationship to their participation with such other business entities. Insomuch as the potential for such conflicts of interest to
exist, the Company’s trusts in its officers and directors to devote to the Company’s business the amount of time and effort
as they believe is required and is necessary to properly discharge their fiduciary responsibilities to the Company and its stakeholders.
Opportunity Based Conflicts of Interest
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 79 |
Presently there is no requirement
contained in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, or minutes which require officers and directors of the Company to
disclose business opportunities which come to their attention. The Company’s officers and directors do, however, have a fiduciary
duty of loyalty to the Company to disclose business opportunities which come to their attention in their capacity as an officer and/or
director or otherwise. Excluded from this duty would be opportunities which are learned about through involvement as an officer and director
of another company.
Company management, including
its officers and directors, is composed of independent contractor consultants, many of whom have owned their own consulting businesses
for years. The Company acknowledges the likelihood that opportunities will arise because of these present and former involvements with
other businesses and other industry participants. The Company accepts that the Company may be excluded from these activities, and accepts
that, from time to time, the Company may be invited to participate because of the value added the Company can contribute to those opportunities.
The Company does not intend to
require any of independent contractor consultant who serves the Company in any capacity, including that of an officer or director, to
engage the Company in any of the independent contractor consultant’s outside business opportunities in which they are or may become
engaged, but does stand ready to consider each and every opportunity if and when invited to do so.
Committees to the Board of Directors
In the ordinary course of business
of companies, the board of directors maintains a compensation committee and an audit committee.
The primary function of the compensation
committee is to review and make recommendations to the board of directors with respect to the compensation to be paid to a company’s
officers, including bonuses, commissions, stock options, contractual rights and other forms of remuneration.
At present, the Company does not
have a separate compensation committee. In the absence of a separate compensation committee, the Company’s board of directors will
function as the compensation committee and perform the same function that the committee would otherwise perform. Upon expansion of the
board of directors to a five-member board, the Company intends to establish a compensation committee.
The functions of the audit committee
are to review the scope of the audit procedures employed by the company’s independent auditors, to review with the independent auditors
the company’s accounting practices and policies and recommend to whom reports should be submitted, to review with the independent
auditors their final audit reports, to review with internal and independent auditors the company’s overall accounting and financial
controls, to be available to the independent auditors during the year for consultation, to approve the audit fee charged by the independent
auditors, to report to the board of directors with respect to such matters and to recommend the selection of the independent auditors.
At present, the Company does not
have a separate audit committee. In the absence of a separate audit committee, the Company’s board of directors will function as
the audit committee and perform the
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 80 |
some of the same functions
that the audit committee would otherwise perform, such as recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the
annual financial statements; reviewing the independent auditor's independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing
management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls. Upon expansion of the board of directors to a five-member
board, the Company intends to establish an audit committee.

directors or executive officers has, during the past ten (10) years:

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
The Company has adopted a written
code of ethics applicable to the Company’s board of directors, officers and workforce in accordance with applicable Federal and
State securities laws. The Company’s board of directors has designated the Company’s President to be the person responsible
for overseeing the Company’s compliance to its code of ethics. Every person who is engaged by the Company in any capacity is required
to report known and suspected breaches of the Company’s code of ethics to the President. In the case that such breach or suspected
breach is or was caused by the President, then the Company requires this report to be made to any other Company executive or member of
the Company’s board of directors.
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 82 |
The Company’s code
of ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
| 1. | honest, ethical, moral and integral conduct; |
| 2. | equal access for all to full, fair, accurate, and timely disclosure in the
Company’s reports, documents and public communications; |
| 3. | compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including insider
trading compliance; and |
| 4. | accountability for adherence to the Company’s code of ethics and prompt
internal reporting of violations of the code, including illegal or unethical behavior regarding accounting or auditing practices. |
Item
6. Executive Compensation.
Summary Compensation Table
The Company’s sole current
director, president, CEO and CFO, Mr. James Burgauer, was appointed by the Company’s former sole director to serve out the remaining
board term of the former sole director pursuant to a Board of Directors Resolution enacted on October 25, 2023. This action coincided
with the resignation of the former sole director from all positions he held at the Company and was a result of the former sole director
being unable to serve the Company pursuant to an aggressive terminal illness.
On November 1, 2023, the Company’s
Board of Directors engaged Mr. James Burgauer as interim president. On December 1, 2023, the Company’s Board of Director engaged
Mr. James Burgauer as president. As the sole director and officer of the Company, Mr. James Burgauer was also required to assume the role
of CEO and CFO coincident with these actions.
Mr. James Burgauer is not an employee
of the Company; his engagement with the Company has always been and continues to be as the Designated Consultant of a Consulting Agreement
dated August 31, 2022, by and between the Company and MIS Consulting, Inc. MIS Consulting, Inc. is an Illinois corporation that was established
on June 25, 1984, by Mr. James Burgauer. He is the principal owner and sole officer and director of that company.
The terms of the Consulting Agreement
executed between the Company and MIS Consulting, Inc. provided for the payment of consulting fees and the sale of a certain number of
contractual rights, for the payment of a contractual right premium, which allowed the holder to acquire shares of the Company’s
Series C Preferred stock at the exercise price of $200 per share. This exercise price was determined by multiplying the number of common
shares into which the Company’s Class C Preferred stock was convertible by the price at which the Company’s common stock was
trading at the time the Consulting Agreement was executed (“Exercise Price Formula”). Both the contractual right premium,
and the expiration date of the contractual rights, were arrived at by negotiation between the parties. The Consulting Agreement between
the Company and Mr. James Burgauer and MIS Consulting, Inc. has become the model for the Company’s standard Consulting Agreement
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 83 |
On November 1, 2023, coincident
with Mr. James Burgauer being engaged as the Company’s interim president, the Exercise Price Formula was adjusted to more accurately
reflect the price at which the Company’s common stock was trading at that time, thereby changing the exercise price to $120 from
$200 for all contractual rights which had not been exercised under the original Consulting Agreement; the number of contractual rights
was increased from one thousand two hundred fifty (1,250) to one thousand five hundred (1,500); and the monthly consulting fee was raised
from three thousand ($3,000) US dollars per month to six thousand ($6,000) US dollars per month. On December 1, 2023, coincident with
Mr. James Burgauer being engaged as the Company’s president, CEO and CFO, the monthly consulting fee was raised from six thousand
($6,000) US dollars per month to ten thousand ($10,000) US dollars per month.
Compensation due and payable for
the work Mr. James Burgauer performs for the Company is paid directed to MIS Consulting, Inc.
The following summary compensation
table indicates the cash and non-cash compensation earned and paid by the Company to MIS Consulting, Inc. during the fiscal years ending
December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2024, for the work performed by Mr. James Burgauer.
Since the Company has no employees
nor has any other officers or directors besides Mr. James Burgauer, there are no additional people who occupy the role of either the three
most highly compensated executive officers or the two other highest paid executives whose compensation exceeded $100,000 during the periods.

The Company is presently in the process of expanding
its Board of Directors to five members and will do so as soon as it can identify and vet a proper slate of candidates.
Overview of the Company’s Compensation Program
The Company does not maintain
a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Until a formal committee is established, the Company’s entire Board of Directors
has responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with the Company's compensation philosophy. The
Board of Directors ensures that the total compensation it pays for the services of its executives and other management is fair, reasonable,
and competitive.
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 84 |
Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions
The Board of Directors makes all
compensation decisions for, and approves recommendations regarding equity awards to, the executive officers and directors of the Company.
Stock Option Plan and other Employee Benefits Plans
The Company has not adopted any
retirement, pension, profit sharing, stock option or insurance programs or other similar programs for the benefit of its employees since
it has no employees.
Employment Agreements
The Company does not presently
have any employees. Company management, including its officers and directors, is composed of independent contractor consultants, many
of whom have owned their own consulting businesses for years. From the Company’s perspective, these independent contractor consultants
are subject-matter specialists who would be unattainable and unaffordable if the Company demanded or even attempted to engage them on
a full-time, exclusive basis.
For the foreseeable future, the
Company intends to continue engaging independent contractor consultants through Consulting Agreements. The Company has adopted a standard
Consulting Agreement format which is based on the consulting agreement that was put in place between the Company and Mr. James Burgauer
and his company, MIS Consulting, Inc. The Company’s standard Consulting Agreement does not require the Company to pay a monthly
stipend. The Company’s standard Consulting Agreement does provide the consultant with the opportunity to purchase a certain number
of contractual rights, upon the payment of a contractual right premium, so that the consultant can acquire shares of the Company’s
Series C Preferred stock. The price at which the independent contractor consultants can buy the Company’s Series C preferred stock
is determined by the Exercise Price Formula as explained above; that is, it is based on the price at which the Company’s common
stock is trading at the time the Consulting Agreement is negotiated. The price of the contractual right premium, and the expiration date
of the contractual rights, is also arrived at by negotiation. As such, the only economic advantage gained by the independent contractor
consultants is that the contractual rights afford time, until they expire, to exercise them.
Item
7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
As of December 31, 2024, there
were no material transactions, or series of similar transactions, or any currently proposed transactions, or series of similar transactions,
to which the Company is or was a party, in which any director or executive officer, or any security holder who is known by the Company
to be an owner of record of beneficially more than five (5%) percent of any class or series of the Company’s stock, or any member
of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, has an interest.
The Company acknowledges that
it pays consulting fees to MIS Consulting, Inc. on behalf of Mr. James Burgauer, the Company’s president and director, CEO and CFO,
pursuant to the Consulting Agreement dated August 31, 2022, as amended. MIS Consulting, Inc. is owned and controlled by Mr. James Burgauer.
The terms, conditions and details of this relationship is further described in Item 6. Executive Compensation.

From time to time the Company
has, in the past engaged, and intends to continue to engage in the future, the services of CRD News LLC, a limited liability company organized
under the laws of the State of Michigan on September 28, 2023. CRD News LLC is owned and controlled by Mr. James Burgauer. The principal
business of CRD News LLC is the rental of its email lists to customers, the distribution of emails for its customers, and the management
of customer owned NOBO, email and postal lists. CRD News LLC serves multiple customers and operates through the website located at www.crdnews.info.
CRD News LLC provides services to the Company at substantial discounts to its normal billing rates. The collective amount of business
that the Company has directed to CRD News LLC does not represent a material transaction.
Statement of Policy
The Company has adopted a related-party
transactions policy under which the Company’s executive officers, directors, nominees for election as a director, beneficial owners
of more than five (5%) percent of any class or series of the Company’s stock, and any members of the immediate family of any of
the foregoing persons are not permitted to enter into a related-party transaction with the Company without the consent of the Company’s
audit committee. If the related party is, or is associated with, a member of the Company’s audit committee, the transaction must
be reviewed and approved by another independent body of the Company’s Board of Directors, such as the Company’s governance
committee. Any request for the Company to enter into a transaction with a related party in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000
and such party would have a direct or indirect interest must first be presented to the Company’s audit committee for review, consideration
and approval. If advance approval of a related-party transaction was not feasible or was not obtained, the related-party transaction must
be submitted to the audit committee as soon as reasonably practicable, at which time the audit committee shall consider whether to ratify
and continue, amend and ratify, or terminate or rescind such related-party transaction.

Market Information
The ticker designation assigned
to the Company’s common stock is RITE.
The Company’s common stock
is not presently traded on an exchange but is presently quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace which is an electronic computer network that
connects brokers who handle transactions on behalf of their clients, which could make it difficult for investors to buy or sell shares
without causing significant price fluctuations and could adversely impact an investor’s ability to effectuate
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 86 |
transactions in the
Company’s stock or achieve the investor’s investment objectives.
The Company cannot assure investors
that there will be a market in the future for the Company’s common stock. Traditionally companies that do not meet the financial
and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange are listed and traded on the OTC Pink Marketplace. Various types
of companies are quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace for various reasons; some by reasons of default, others by reason of distress and
some by intent or design. The OTC Pink Marketplace is further sub-categorized by the levels of information provided.
The OTC Pink Marketplace’s
website can be found at www.otcmarkets.com
On the OTC Pink Marketplace the
Company is listed as “Pink Current Information” and with its last “Company Verified Profile” of
“09/2024”. The listing further shows a status of “Transfer Agent Verified”, with a “Quote
Eligibility” of “Unsolicited Quotes Only (UNS)” and an “Overnight Trading Eligible” listed
as “No”.
According to the OTC Pink Marketplace,
during the 52-week period ending on December 31, 2024, the stock traded in the range of $0.0001 to $0.0009. Based on the daily transaction
data available from OTCMarkets.com, the 30-day trading volume was 191,754,229 shares (covering the 30 trading days from November 18, 2024,
through and including December 31, 2024); so the average trading volume calculates to 6,391,808 shares. The stock closed on December 31,
2024, at a price of $0.0005.
The Company’s common stock does not pay any dividends.
As of December 18, 2024, the Texas
Secretary of State acknowledged that the Company has five (5) series of preferred stock issued and outstanding. None of these preferred
stocks presently trade on an exchange nor are they presently quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace. The Company cannot assure investors that
there will be a market in the future for any series of the Company’s preferred stock. The Company anticipates that at some point
in the future that any series of the Company’s preferred stock which is convertible into common stock will be converted, and any
series that is not convertible will be retired.
Holders
The Company employs the transfer
agent services of Nevada Agency and Transfer Company (“NATCO”) only to administer its common stock. As of December 31, 2024,
the Company had 164 shareholders, including Cede & Co. which is the nominee name used by the Depository Trust Company (DTC). Cede
& Co. acts as the registered holder of securities on behalf of the actual owners, who are the beneficial owners of the securities.
This means that Cede & Co. is listed as the official owner in the books of the issuer or transfer agent, but it is doing so on behalf
of DTC’s participants (banks, brokers, and other financial institutions) and their clients.
The number of beneficial owners
on whose behalf Cede & Co. acts as nominee changes as shares are bought and sold by investors. In the regular course of business,
DTC’s participants ask these beneficial owners if they can release their names and other information to the companies whose securities
the
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 87 |
beneficial owners hold.
If the owner does not object to the release of their name and other information, then the beneficial owners are designated as Non-Objecting
Beneficial Owners (“NOBO”). In the event that a company seeks to obtain this information, the company engages a service provider
(such as BroadRidge Financial Solutions, Inc.) who assembles this information for their company clients for a service fee. Companies
sparingly obtain copies of their NOBO list because obtaining and cleaning up the NOBO list to make it usable for most purposes is a moderately
expensive and time-consuming undertaking.
The most recent NOBO list for
the Company showed that Cede & Co. acted as nominee on behalf of 3,091 non-objecting beneficial owners.
The Company acts as its own transfer
agent for all Series of its preferred stock.

conversion of any share or shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded
to the nearest whole share. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the
total number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion. |
| (e) | Notices of Record Date. In the event the Corporation takes record
of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining which holders are entitled to receive any dividend (other than
a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or
any other securities, property or other right, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series B Preferred Stock, at least 20 days

of shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient for such purposes. |

is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (a "Proceeding"), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal representative,
is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request
of the Corporation as a director, officers employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability
company, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against all liability and loss

sentence, except as otherwise provided in Section 3 of this Article XI, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify an Indemnified
Person in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such Indemnified Person only if the commencement of such Proceeding
(or part thereof) by the Indemnified Person was authorized in advance by the Board of Directors.
2. Prepayment
of Expenses of Directors and Officers. The Corporation shall pay the expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an Indemnified
Person in defending any Proceeding in advance of its final disposition, provided, however, that, to the extent required by law, such payment

made or is otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or a person for whom such person is the legal

Independent Auditors’ Report
January 10, 2025
To the Board of Directors and
The Shareholders of
MineralRite Corporation
325 N. St. Paul Street – Suite 3100
Dallas, TX 75201
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements
of MineralRite Corporation (a Texas Corporation) and subsidiaries, which comprises the balance sheets as of December 31, 2024, and 2023,
and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended, and
the related notes to the financial statements.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred
to above, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MineralRite Corporation as of December 31, 2024, and 2023,
and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of
MineralRite Corporation, and we are required to act in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial
Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and
fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America;
this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 116 |
of financial statements
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the
financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise
substantial doubt about MineralRite Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the
financial statements are available to be issued.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit
of the Financial Statements
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards
of the PCAOB. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding
of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and
therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements
are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment
made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards and the standards of the PCAOB, we:
| ● | Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout
the audit. |
| ● | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. |
| ● | Obtain
an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of MineralRite Corporation’s internal control. Accordingly, no
such opinion is expressed. |
| ● | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies
used and the reasonableness of significant |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 117 |
accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
| ● | Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are
conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about MineralRite Corporation’s ability to continue
as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. |
We are required to communicate with those charged
with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal
control related matters that we identified during the audit.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the
current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated that: (1) relate to accounts or
disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involve especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We
did not identify any critical audit matters that need to be communicated.
Conclusion
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming
an opinion on the financial statements as a whole. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation
to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Relevant
Operating History.
Following the change of control that brought the Company
into the mineral and mining business, on March 1, 2013, the Company acquired 100% of the total shares outstanding of Goldfield International,
Inc. (“Goldfield”) in exchange for issuing 2,000,000 shares of its common stock. The acquisition was based on the fair value
of the shares issued amounting to $900,000. During the time that Goldfield was owned by the Company, the two companies consolidated financial
statements and eliminated all material intercompany transactions. Goldfield was in the business of manufacturing gold mining equipment.
On January 1, 2015, the Company entered into a Security
Agreement with the managers of Goldfield to settle various outstanding financial matters, including but not limited to promissory notes
that had been
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 126 |
issued to reimburse the parties for loans that they
had made to cover operational costs that were secured by the assets of Goldfield.
In June 2015, the Company entered into a joint venture
agreement with MEK Mining (“MEK”) to mine gold ore on leased acreage in Ghana. For $150,000, the Company acquired a fifty
(50%) percent interest in the joint venture which has a twenty (20%) percent participation interest in the production and sale of the
indicated gold ore. The Company accounted for its investment in MEK under the equity method pursuant to ASC Topic 323-30. This operation
was in production during 2015 until government regulations were changed and mining in Ghana was shut down. MEK is based out of Russia,
and despite there being no direct U.S. sanctions targeting Russia's precious metals mining sector, U.S. companies operating in or engaging
within this sector faced a complex array of challenges, such as sanctions levelled against key Russian figures and entities, heightened
geopolitical tensions, reputational considerations, and operational hurdles arising from broader international sanctions. These factors
collectively influenced decisions for many companies, including MineralRite, to cease mining activities in Russia or to sever business
ties with Russian companies involved in the precious metals industry. The MEK project was terminated, and the Company’s investment
was written off pursuant to ASC Topic 205-20 “Discontinued Operations”.
On July 15, 2015, pursuant to the aforementioned Security
Agreement dated January 1, 2015, the Company transferred the legal entity, the equipment manufacturing operations, including related assets
and liabilities, to the managers of Goldfield in exchange for the cancellation of the promissory notes that had been issued to the parties,
the assumption of various Goldfield related liabilities, and the return of 17,500 shares of Series B preferred that had been exchanged
(on July 10, 2014) for the common shares that had been issued (on October 30, 2012) as payment for the services the managers would be
performing pursuant to the acquisition of Goldfield. For financial statement presentation purposes, the equipment manufacturing activities
for 2015, and assets and liabilities directly relating to the operation, were accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 205-20 “Discontinued
Operations”.
On February 16, 2018, the Company filed Form 15 -
Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration Under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Suspension of Duty
to File Reports Under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 with the SEC and officially terminated its requirement
to timely file reports.
On April 7, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate
of Merger with the Texas Secretary of State to effectuate an F Reorganization Merger Re-domicile whereby the Company was merged into Southern
Cars & Trucks, Inc. (the survivor) pursuant to the Plan of Merger and in the process (a) adopted a Certificate of Formation synonymous
with those of the predecessor Nevada entity, as adjusted for state specific language; (b) adopted a capital structure synonymous with
that of the predecessor Nevada entity with three notable exceptions: (i) the number of authorized shares of common stock was set at twenty
billion (20,000,000,000) shares; (ii) the par value of all classes and series of stock was set at no par value; and (iii) the voting and
conversion rights of the Series C Preferred stock was adjusted such that one (1) share of Series C Preferred stock was awarded 400,000
votes and was convertible into 400,000 shares of common stock which aligned the capital structure to the contractual rights under which
the outstanding shares had been issued; (c) changed its name to MineralRite Corporation; and (d) cancelled the outstanding share of Southern
Cars & Trucks, Inc. Because the sole officer and sole director of MineralRite Corporation (Nevada) was also the
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 127 |
sole officer and sole director of Southern Cars &
Trucks, Inc.; and because the shares of MineralRite Corporation were exchanged 1-for-1 with the shares of Southern Cars & Trucks,
Inc.; and because all of the assets and liabilities of MineralRite were transferred to Southern Cars & Trucks, Inc., the transaction
was accounted for as an F Reorganization Merger Re-domicile. Coincident with this change, the Company also changed its principal address
to 539 W. Commerce St. #1838, Dallas Texas 75208.
Upon completing the 2021 F Reorganization Merger Re-domicile,
the Company continued to pursue merger acquisition candidate negotiations while simultaneously working to bring the Company current. It
was during this period of time that the Company’s current president, and others, were first engaged as consultants by the Company.
On October 25, 2023, the Company’s current president
executed an option with the Company’s former president to purchase the former president’s holdings in the Company. Under the
terms of that option, the Company’s current president was immediately granted voting rights to those holdings. Coincident with that
action, the former president resigned his position as sole member of the Company's Board of Directors and, in accordance with the Company’s
terms of corporate governance, installed the Company’s current president as his replacement to serve out the remainder of his term
on the Board thereby effectuating a Change of Control. Subsequent to these actions, the Company’s current president was installed
as acting president of the Company; and since that time, his role has been upgraded to president of the Company.
Current
Operations.
Immediately upon assuming his role, RITE’s current
president undertook a thorough examination and analysis of the Company’s books and records so that he would be able to attest to
the accuracy of the Company’s financial statements and other corporate representations that his role as president would require
him to make on behalf of the Company. In this undertaking he also engaged legal, accounting and other professionals to work with him when
and as needed. As issues were discovered, requisite filings and adjustments were made accordingly. The expectation was that this clean-up
process would be fully completed by December 31, 2024, and it was, allowing the Company to once again be able to present audited books
and records accordingly.
On November 1, 2023, the Company’s Board of
Directors officially engaged the Company’s current president as interim president.
On November 6, 2023, and November 9, 2023, the Company’s
current president, at the request of the Company’s former president, executed options to purchase the holdings of two of the former
president’s associates under terms similar to those embodied in the aforementioned option contract between the Company’s current
president and former president.
On December 1, 2023, the Company’s Board of
Directors officially engaged the Company’s current president as president of the Company. On or about the same time, the Company
changed its principal address to 325 N. St. Paul Street, Suite 3100, Dallas TX 75201.
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 128 |
In the months that followed, while the aforementioned
examination, analysis and clean-up was underway, the Company built a new website; updated several jurisdictional filings with the Texas
Secretary of State; completed a Crafted Precious Metal Dealer Registration in the State of Texas; passed compliance with various precious
metal refineries and opened accounts with those entities; applied to OTCMarkets.com to recognize the Change of Control that the Company
had undergone when the Company’s current president replaced the former president; filed a Corporate Action Case with FINRA regarding
the Company’s April 7, 2021, F Reorganization Merger Re-domicile change; and engaged legal, accounting and other professionals to
perform various tasks.
During the first quarter of 2024, which ended on March
31, 2024, the Company entered into two contracts with the current owners of its former subsidiary, Goldfield. The first contract provided
for the purchase of certain intellectual property rights, and the second contract provided for the acquisition of inventory and equipment.
Since completing these purchases, the Company has engaged CAD-CAM designers and equipment specialists to re-design and upscale the products
and streamline production. This will allow the Company to focus its efforts on equipment sales and related services, and facilitate third-party
equipment manufacture and fulfillment. The Company expects that equipment sales will also open doors to related revenue streams such as
consulting services, off-take agreements, project financing and property acquisitions; all of which fit into the Company's long-term strategic
development plans.
As of the close of the first quarter of 2024, the
Change of Control application with OTCMarkets.com and the Corporate Actions Case with FINRA regarding the April 7, 2021, F Reorganization
Merger Re-Domicile change, were both still pending.
On or around April 5, 2024, the Company’s Change
of Control application with OTC Markets was completed and approved.
During the month of June 2024, the Company obtained
legal opinions it sought in support of its position to (i) derecognize $763,377.50 of time-barred obligations; (ii) exchange previously
issued convertible obligations, in the original amount of $137,499, into 2,750 fully paid warrants to purchase 2,750 shares of Series
C convertible preferred stock pursuant to Section 3(a)9; (iii) reclaim 9,544,690 common shares which had previously been issued; and (iv)
release shares which were being held in certain segregated reserve accounts at the Company’s transfer agent on behalf of former
convertible bond holders.
As of the close of the second quarter of 2024, the
Corporate Actions Case with FINRA regarding the April 7, 2021, F Reorganization Merger Re-Domicile change, was still pending.
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company engaged
and completed a PCAOB audit for the accounting periods ending December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.
During the month of September 2024, the Company filed
an Application for Revocation of the Cease Trade Order with the Alberta Securities Commission. The Cease Trade Order had been previously
entered against the Company on June 28, 2013, by the Alberta Securities Commission for failure to file certain periodic disclosure documents
with the Commission, for the periods ending September 30, 2012, December 31, 2012, and March 31, 2013. As of the close of the third quarter
of 2024, this application was still pending.

As of the close of the third quarter of 2024, the
Corporate Actions Case with FINRA regarding the April 7, 2021, F Reorganization Merger Re-Domicile change, was still pending.
On December 31, 2024, the Company executed a binding
Letter of Intent with NMC, Inc. (“NMC”), a Nevada corporation; and shortly thereafter, a Definitive Agreement was executed.
Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement, RITE acquired NMC’s two wholly owned subsidiaries. These subsidiaries hold certain
mineral and mining assets and collectively have an audited book value of $432 million. In return, RITE issued and transferred to NMC approximately
6.9 million shares of a newly created class of preferred stock denoted as RITE Series NMC $25 convertible preferred stock (“RITE
Series NMC”), a similar number of warrants, and assumed roughly $5 million in NMC’s outstanding liabilities.
Each share of RITE Series NMC is subject to redemption
by a sinking fund, or at the option of the holder, convertible into five hundred (500) shares of RITE common stock. Additionally, each
warrant allows the holder to buy five hundred (500) shares of RITE common stock for $15.
The sinking fund provides the holders of the RITE
Series NMC with a means to liquidate their shares for a set dollar amount at a premium to par value. This premium grows at the rate of
five (5%) percent per annum and is subject to a floor price of $25.40. Holders of the RITE Series NMC shares may, in lieu of redemption,
opt to convert their RITE Series NMC shares into shares of RITE common stock at the rate of one (1) share of RITE Series NMC for five
hundred (500) shares of RITE common stock.
RITE Series NMC $25 convertible preferred stock is
given a direct senior claim against the assets held in, and the revenue generated by, the two subsidiaries that RITE acquired from NMC
in the afore described transaction until such time as (a) the sinking fund has redeemed all shares of RITE Series NMC $25 convertible
preferred stock, or (b) the RITE Series NMC shares have been converted into RITE common shares in lieu of redemption through the sinking
fund.
Subsequent to the execution of the Definitive Agreement,
the Company began the process to expand its Board of Directors from a one-member Board to a five-member Board. Pursuant to Article 2 of
the Company’s bylaws, the Board has the authority to Change the Number of Directors (2.05) and to fill Vacancies (2.07) on the Board
until the next election. It is the intention of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, James Burgauer, to appoint four (4) additional
board members. A list of potential candidates are presently being vetted.
Pursuant to Section 2.05 Change of Number,
the Company’s Bylaws, “The number of directors may be changed at any time by amendment of these Bylaws, pursuant to the
process outlined in Article 10 of these Bylaws...”
Pursuant to Section 2.07 Vacancies of the
Company’s Bylaws, “Per Section 21.410 of the Law, all vacancies in the Board may be filled by the affirmative vote of a
majority of the remaining directors, provided that any such director who fills a vacancy is qualified to be a director and shall only
hold the office until a new director is elected by the shareholders at the next meeting of the shareholders…The Board may fill
a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors for
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 130 |
a term lasting until the next annual
election of directors by the shareholders at the annual meeting or a special meeting called for the purpose of electing directors.”
As with most development stage companies, MineralRite
Corporation continues to seek funding and partners for operations and growth. The Company continues to actively seek mining and mineral
acquisitions, direct income mine and mineral royalty acquisitions, and reverse merger opportunities within the mineral and mining space
and in complementary or related businesses. There can be no assurance that acquisitions will be found, or that additional financing will
be available on terms favorable to the Company or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms,
the Company may not be able to fund its operations, and such inability to fund operations will have a materially adverse effect on the
Company’s business, results of operations and financial conditions.
The accompanying consolidated financials of the Company
have been adjusted to reflect the changes to the number of shares authorized and outstanding, per-share amounts, stock splits, share reclamations,
derecognition of time-barred obligations, Section 3(a)9 conversions and other legal and accounting events which have been described herein
and/or can be found in the Company’s books and records.
(2) Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies
Financial
Statements
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and have been audited.
In the opinion of management, the financial statements
include all known adjustments (which consist primarily of normal, recurring accruals, estimates, and assumptions that impact the financial
statements) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of the balance sheet dates and the results of operations for the years
then ended, and cumulative from inception.
Principles
for Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments”, requires disclosures of information about the fair value of certain financial instruments for which it
is practicable to estimate that value. For purposes of this disclosure, the fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which
the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. The carrying
amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 131 |
equivalents, accounts receivable, advances to suppliers,
accounts payable and accrued expenses, line of credit, notes maturity for these instruments.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For the Statements of Cash Flows, all highly liquid
investments with a maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.
Property
and Equipment Depreciation and Depletion
Property that is subject to depreciation and equipment
are recorded at historical cost. Major additions and renewals are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The Company
uses the straight-line method of depreciation. The estimated useful lives for significant property and equipment categories are as follows:
Office
and computer equipment |
3
– 7 years |
Machinery
and equipment |
5
– 10 years |
Property that is subject to depletion is recorded
at historical cost. The Company accounts for depletion using the Unit-of-Production method of accounting. Under this methodology, the
cost of the property and the cost of major additions to the property, such as development costs, exploration costs, and other costs directly
attributable to bringing the resource to the point of extraction are capitalized and then depleted based on the amount of resource extracted
during the period.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived
assets and the related estimated remaining lives at each balance sheet date. The Company records an impairment or change in useful life
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed. During
the periods covered in the financial statement, if and when any such assets were deemed by the Company to be not recoverable, then the
Company fully depreciated those assets.
Income/Loss
per Common Share
Basic net income/loss per share is calculated based
on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income/loss per share is calculated using the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents are excluded from the calculation of diluted
net income/loss per share when their effect is anti-dilutive.
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 132 |
Stock-Based
Compensation Arrangements
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation
arrangements in accordance with guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”).
This guidance addresses all forms of share-based payment awards, including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans, stock options,
restricted stock and stock appreciation rights, as well as share grants and other awards issued to employees and non-employees under free-standing
arrangements. These awards are recorded at costs that are measured at fair value on the awards’ grant dates, based on the estimated
number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in charges to operations.
From time to time, the Company’s shares of common
stock have been issued as payment to employees and non-employees for services and the reduction of debt. These are non-cash transactions
that require management to make judgments related to the fair value of the shares issued, which affects the amounts reported in the Company’s
accompanying financial statements for certain of its assets and expenses.
Income
Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes according
to the ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred
tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or
in tax returns. Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities
using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities
are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be and, to the extent
it believes, based upon the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that the Company’s portion of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to income tax expense. In evaluating the Company’s
ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including projected future
taxable income, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies and recent financial operations.
The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in the financial statements by applying a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First,
the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination by the taxing authorities.
If the tax position is deemed more-likely-than-not to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of benefit
to recognize in the financial statements. The amount of benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than fifty
(50%) percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. To the extent the Company determines that such tax provisions will
not be sustained, the provision for income taxes would include the effects of any resulting income tax reserves, or unrecognized tax benefits,
that are considered appropriate as well as the related net interest and penalties.
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 133 |
Deferred
Offering Costs
The Company defers, as other assets, the direct incremental
costs of raising capital until such time as the offering is completed. At the time of the completion of the offering, the costs are charged
against the capital raised. Should the offering be terminated, deferred offering costs are charged to operations during the period in
which the offering is terminated.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Company management has not knowingly nor willfully
implemented any new accounting pronouncements that could have had any material impact on the preparation or presentation of the accounting
results that have been reported for the periods covered by these financial statements unless otherwise disclosed. Management does not
believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial
position or results of operations.
(3) Going
Concern
Though management of the Company believes that the
Company will be successful in its capital formation and operating activities, there can be no assurance that it will be able to obtain
funding, raise additional equity capital or be able to generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations. The Company is presently
engaged in and intends to conduct additional capital formation activities through the issuance of preferred and common stock to establish
sufficient working capital and to expand its operations. The Company has incurred an operating loss since its inception and the Company’s
present cash resources are insufficient to meet its planned business objectives. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to
continue as a going concern.
(4) Investment
in Subsidiaries
The Company’s operating projects are generally
segregated into subsidiaries. The Company does this for a variety of reasons. In some cases, certain series of the Company’s securities
may have been granted priority claims to the assets of a particular subsidiary. In other cases, operations may engage specific joint venture
partners which are entitled to a contractual share of the revenue or net revenue being generated by a project or a subsidiary. In still
other cases, the Company may feel the need to segregate operations based on legal, risk, accounting or other factors. Management exercises
its discretion in making such decisions.
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 134 |
The Company consolidates onto its financial statements
all of its activities and that of its wholly owned subsidiaries, and in so doing, eliminates all intercompany balances and transactions.
When making an acquisition of an entity that the Company
intends to operate as a subsidiary or otherwise, the Company will generally hold the assets and liabilities so acquired on its balance
sheet at the same basis that they were held by the entity prior to being acquired, subject to a determination by the Company’s accountants
and auditors that doing so is in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. In the event that the Company determines that a mineral asset is not sufficiently documented to
meet the requirements of the SEC’s Modernization of Property Disclosures for Mining Registrants (17 CFR Parts 229, 230, 239,
and 249 [Release Nos. 33-10570; 34-84509; File No. S7-10-16]), the Company will hold those assets on its balance sheet at a value of zero
($0) until such time as the Company obtains an SEC / JORC compliant reserve report.
(5) Convertible
Obligations
The Company has issued convertible obligations to
multiple lenders where the obligation is convertible into common stock, at the lender's option, in the event the Company does not fully
repay the lender. Except for one lender, whose beneficial owner is affiliated with another lender who lent money to the Company during
2021, there have been no conversions and no requests for conversion in recent years.
It is the Company's belief that all obligations that
were issued prior to 2016 and were dormant, had passed the statute of limitations for collection procedures. During June 2024, the Company
obtained a legal opinion in support of its position; and in the quarter ending June 30, 2024, the Company removed those obligations from
its books and adjusted its financial statements accordingly.
Additionally, during June 2024, the Company obtained
a legal opinion regarding the application of Section 3(a)9 to a precedent condition of a previously negotiated agreement. Obtaining this
legal opinion triggered the conversion of certain current obligations into warrants to acquire the preferred Series C shares of the Company
and allowed the Company to remove those obligations from its books and adjust the Company’s financial statements accordingly.
The table below summarizes the convertible obligations
that remain in the Company’s books and records after taking into consideration the aforementioned adjustments.
The Company believes, based on the decision rendered
by the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and the interpretive guidance promulgated by the Securities Exchange Commission regarding
toxic financings, toxic lenders and the distribution of securities by unregistered dealers, as defined in Section 15(a)(1) of the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, that the four (4) remaining convertible obligations are voidable. The Company has legally noticed the convertible
obligation holders and has taken additional steps to minimize the potential dilution effects that could result from the conversion of
these four (4) remaining
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 135 |
outstanding obligations. The Company’s efforts
notwithstanding, these remaining obligations may be subject to the issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion privileges
afforded to the holder.
In the event that the presumed-to-be-voidable obligations
listed in the table below are determined to not be voidable, then the Company believes that the obligation marked with an asterisk may
be outside the statute of limitations for collection procedures and may have (i) been partially settled by the issuance of shares of common
stock and may be subject to additional issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the conversion privileges afforded the holder or
(ii) remains a fully unsettled obligation of the Company subject to the conversion privileges afforded the holder.
In the event that the presumed-to-be-voidable obligations
listed in the table below are determined to not be voidable, then the Company believes that the obligations that are marked with a plus
sign may still be within the statute of limitation for collection procedures and may be subject to the issuance of shares of common stock
pursuant to the conversion privileges afforded to the holder.

(6) Derivative
Liability
The Company evaluated the conversion feature embedded
in the convertible notes to determine if such conversion feature should be bifurcated from its host instrument and accounted for as a
freestanding derivative. Due to the note not meeting the definition of a conventional debt instrument because it contained a diluted issuance
provision, the convertible notes were accounted for in accordance with ASC 815. According to ASC 815, the derivatives associated with
the convertible notes were recognized as a discount to the debt instrument, and the discount is being amortized over the life of the note,
and any excess of the derivative value over the note payable value is recognized as additional expense at issuance date.
Union Capital, LLC Promissory Note July 28, 2014
On July 28, 2014, the Company issued a Convertible
Promissory Note (the “Note”) to Union Capital, LLC (the “Holder”) in the original principal amount of $50,000

The Board of Directors is authorized
to establish, from the authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock, one or more classes or series of shares, to designate each such
class and series, and fix the rights and preferences of each such class of Preferred Stock; which class or series shall have such voting
powers (full or limited or no voting powers), such preferences, relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and such qualifications,
limitations or restrictions as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such class
or series of Preferred Stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Directors prior to the issuance of any shares thereof.
Except as provided in the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors creating any series of Preferred Stock and as set forth
below, the shares of Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election and removal of directors and for all other purposes.
Each holder of Common Stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held.
B. |
Series A Preferred Stock. |
| 1. | Number of Shares; Designation. A total of One Hundred Five Thousand (105,000) shares of preferred
stock, no par value, of the Corporation have been designated as "Series A Preferred Stock." |
| 2. | Dividends. From and after the date of the issuance of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, dividends
at the rate per annum of $0.10 per share shall accrue on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment in
the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock).
Dividends shall accrue from day-to-day, whether or not declared, and shall be cumulative; provided, however, that except as set forth
in the following sentence of this Sections 2, 3, and 6, accrued dividends shall be payable only when, as, and if declared by the Board
of Directors and the Corporation shall be under no obligation to pay such accrued dividends. The Corporation shall not declare, pay or
set aside any dividends on shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation (other than dividends on shares of
common stock payable in shares of common stock) unless the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall first receive,
or simultaneously receive, a dividend on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount at least equal to the amount
of the aggregate accrued dividends on such share of Series A Preferred Stock and not previously paid. |
| 3. | Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. |
| (a) | In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation,
the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available
for distribution to its stockholders before any payment shall be made to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof,
an amount per share equal to Series A Original Issue Price (defined below), plus any accrued dividends, but unpaid thereon, whether or
not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon. The "Series A Original Issue Price" shall mean
$1.00 per share, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization
with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock. |
| (b) | If upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation
available for distribution to its stockholders shall be |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 2 |
insufficient to pay the holders of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock the full amount to which they shall be entitled under Subsection 3(a), the holders of shares of Series A Preferred
Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of the assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts which would
otherwise be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares
were paid in full.
| (c) | The aggregate amount which a holder of a share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to receive under
Section 3 is hereinafter referred to as the "Series A Liquidation Amount." |
| 4. | Voting. Except as otherwise required by law, on any matter presented to the stockholders of the
Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders
in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal
to the number of whole shares of Series A Preferred held by such holder as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to
vote on such matter multiplied by three thousand (3,000). Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Certificate of Formation,
holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class. |
| 5. | Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. In the event of any subdivision or split of the Common
Stock, or the declaration of a stock dividend or dividend payable in Common Stock (“Distribution Event”), the Corporation
shall take all necessary actions to adjust the terms of the Preferred Stock to ensure that the holders of Preferred Stock maintain their
rights and preferences as provided herein. This includes, without limitation, adjustments to the par value, the Conversion Rate, the number
of shares of Common Stock into which one share of Preferred Stock is convertible, and any voting or other rights tied to the Preferred
Stock in a manner that preserves the proportional economic and voting interests of the holders of Preferred Stock relative to the Common
Stockholders, as such interests were immediately prior to the Distribution Event. |
If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization,
reclassification, share combination, exchange, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets,
or similar transaction involving the Corporation in which the capital stock is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other
property (“Reorganization Event”), then the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall, at the holders’ option:
| (a) | be converted into securities that shall preserve the Series A Preferred Stock holders original liquidation
preferences, voting rights, and all other rights as if no such event had occurred plus be granted anti-dilutive protections to preserve
these rights into the future, to include but not be limited to, adjustments to the conversion rate and/or other rights to preserve the
holders relative value of their holdings as such interests were immediately prior to the Reorganization Event; or |
| (b) | be entitled to receive, on an "as converted" basis and in place of the shares of the Corporation's
Common Stock into which the Series A Preferred Stock can be converted (according to the terms and conditions outlined in this designation),
any stock, securities, or assets that may be issued or payable in respect of, or in exchange for, the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock equivalent to |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 3 |
the maximum number of shares that could
be issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock.
| (a) | General. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to redemption by the Corporation, at any
time on or after December 31, 2014, at a price equal to the Series A Original Issue Price per share, plus all declared but unpaid dividends
thereon (the "Redemption Price"). If the Corporation elects to redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such redemption
shall be with respect to all of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. |
| (b) | Redemption Notice. If the Corporation elects to redeem the then outstanding Series A Preferred
Stock, the Corporation shall send written notice of the optional redemption (the "Redemption Notice") to each holder of record
of Series A Preferred Stock not less than thirty (30) days prior to each Redemption Date. Each Redemption Notice shall state: |
| (1) | The date of the payment of the Redemption Price (the "Redemption Date") and the Redemption Price; |
| (2) | That the holder is to surrender to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated, his, her
or its certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed. |
| (c) | Surrender of Certificates; Payment. On or before the applicable Redemption Date, each holder of
shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such Redemption Date, shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing
such shares (or, if such registered holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit
and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation against any claim that may be made against the Corporation
on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated
in the Redemption Notice, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears
on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In the event less than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented
by a certificate are redeemed, a new certificate, instrument, or book entry representing the unredeemed shares of Series A Preferred Stock
shall promptly be issued to such holder. |
| (d) | Rights Subsequent to Redemption. If the Redemption Notice shall have been duly given, and if on
the applicable Redemption Date the Redemption Price payable upon redemption of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed on
such Redemption Date is paid or tendered for payment or deposited with an independent payment agent so as to be available therefor in
a timely manner, then notwithstanding that any certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption
shall not have been surrendered, dividends with respect to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue after such Redemption
Date and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date terminate, except only the right of the holders |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 4 |

of Employees and Agents. The Corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to any person who was or is made or is threatened to be

being an interim director. Pursuant to Section 21.410 of the Law, any director elected by the shareholders to fill a vacancy which results

| 2.11 | NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Pursuant to Section 21.411 of the Law, the regular meetings
of the Board shall be held without notice of the date, time, place, or purpose of the meeting, provided the meeting of the Board follows
the adjournment of the annual shareholder meeting. Notice may be given personally, by facsimile, by mail, or in any other lawful manner,
so long as the method for notice comports with Article 8 of these Bylaws. Oral notification is sufficient only if a written record of
the notice is included in the Corporation's minute book. Notice is effective at the earliest of: |
| (b) | Delivery to the proper address or telephone number of the director(s) as shown
in the Corporation's records; or |

Board may create committees to delegate certain powers to act on behalf of the Board, provided the |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 3 |
Board passes a resolution indicating
such creation or delegation. Notwithstanding the power to create committees, no committee may issue stock, recommend shareholder actions,
nor amend these Bylaws. The Board may delegate to a committee the power to appoint directors to fill vacancies on the Board. All committees
must record regular minutes of their meetings and keep the minute book at the corporation’s office. The creation or appointment
of a committee does not relieve the Board or its members from their standard of care described in Section 2.03 of these Bylaws or in Section
7.001 of the Code and Section 21.316 of the Law.
| 2.16 | COMPENSATION. The Board may adopt a resolution which results in directors
being paid a reasonable compensation for their services rendered as directors of the Corporation. Directors may also be paid a fixed sum
and expenses, if any, for attendance at each regular or special meeting of such Board. Nothing contained in these Bylaws precludes a director
from receiving compensation for serving the Corporation in any other capacity, including any services rendered as an officer or employee.
If the Board accordingly passes a resolution, then committee members may be allowed like compensation for attending committee meetings. |
A resolution of the Board that
grants compensation to a director may be challenged by a shareholder, provided the shareholder requests a special shareholder meeting
specifically addressing the resolution related to director compensation. Any Board resolution that relates to director compensation can
be overturned by a majority vote of shareholders.
| 2.17 | INDEMNIFICATION. Provided the director complies with the standard of care
described in Section 2.03 of these Bylaws and Section 7.001 of the Code and Sections 21.303 and 21.316 of the Law, the Corporation shall

process outlined in Sections 8.051 and 8.101 of the Code. |
ARTICLE 3
Stock
| 3.01 | AUTHORITY TO ISSUE. Subject to Sections 21.151, 21.154, 21.157, and 21.159
of the Law and the Corporation’s Articles, the Corporation is authorized to issue any class of stock or securities convertible into
stock of any class. Before any stock of the Corporation may be issued, the Board must pass a resolution which authorizes the issuance,
sets the minimum consideration for the stock or security (or a formula to determine the minimum consideration), and fairly describes any
non-monetary consideration. |
| 3.02 | RESTRICTIONS. Stock may only be issued pursuant to the Articles, and by the
process described in these Bylaws. Any issuance of stock exceeding the amount described in the Articles requires Board authorization,
approval from the majority of shareholders, and an amendment to the Articles. Per Section 21.213 of the Law, any restriction on the transferability
of stock shall be fully furnished to the shareholders, upon request, and without any charge to the shareholder. Per Section 21.213 of
the Law, any failure to furnish such information to the shareholder or a transferee without actual knowledge of the restriction renders
the restriction on stock transferability invalid or unenforceable. |
As provided in Section 21.203 of
the Law, no shareholder has a preemptive right to subscribe to any subsequent or additional issuance of stock.
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 4 |
| 3.03 | STOCK CERTIFICATES. Under Section 3.202 of the Code, shareholders are entitled
to stock certificates that certify the shares of the Corporation’s stock held by the shareholder. Notwithstanding the shareholders’
rights to stock certificates, the Board may authorize the issuance of some or all shares of any class or series of stock without certificates,
provided the Board shall provide to a shareholder a written statement that contains the information required to be on stock certificates,
per Section 3.205 of the Code. |
Per Sections 3.202
and 3.203 of the Code, each stock certificate must contain on its face:
| (a) | The Corporation name and that the Corporation is organized under the laws of this State; |
| (b) | The name of the shareholder (or person to whom the stock is issued); |
| (c) | The number and class of shares and the designation of the series, if any, the certificate
represents; and |
| (d) | The signature of two officers designated in these Bylaws or by the Board. |
For
the sake of clarity, in the event that an individual serves multiple roles within the Corporation, that person cannot countersign
any document which that person has already signed in their official or individual capacity. If an officer who has signed or whose facsimile
signature appears on any stock certificate ceases to be an officer before the certificate is issued to the shareholder, it may be issued
by the Corporation and is valid as if the person were an officer on the date of issuance. The certificate may be sealed with the Corporation’s
seal.
| 3.04 | MUTILATED, LOST, OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. Per Section 21.057 of the Law,
in the instance of any mutilation, loss, or destruction of any stock certificate, another may be issued in its place on proof of
such mutilation, loss or destruction. The Board may impose conditions on such issuance and may require the giving of a satisfactory bond
or indemnity to the Corporation. The Board may establish other procedures as they deem necessary. |
| 3.05 | FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP. Subject to Section 21.163 of the Law, the Corporation
may: |

receive dividends, and to participate in any of the Corporation’s assets in the event of liquidation; |
| (b) | Arrange for the disposition of fractional interests by those entitled thereto; |
| (c) | Pay the fair market value, in cash, of fractions of a share as of the time when
those entitled to receive such shares are determined; or |
| (d) | Issue scrip in a form which entitles the holder to receive a certificate for the
full share upon surrender of such scrip aggregating a full share. |
| 3.06 | TRANSFER. So long as there is no transferability restriction on the stock,
as described in Section 3.02 of these Bylaws, the stock of the Corporation is freely transferable. Transfers of stock must be made upon
the corporation’s stock transfer books. Stock transfer books shall be kept in the manner described in Article 7 of these Bylaws. |
Before a new certificate is issued,
the old certificate must be surrendered for cancellation. The Board may, by resolution, open a share register in any state of the United
States, and may employ an agent or agents to keep such register, and to record transfers or shares therein.
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 5 |
| 3.07 | REGISTERED OWNER. The Corporation shall recognize an individual as the registered
owner of a given stock, provided that individual is determined as the shareholder of record by the record date as set out in Section
4.07 of these Bylaws. Shareholders may agree to confer the right to vote or represent their stock to third parties, including trustees,
proxies, or fiduciaries. The Board may resolve to adopt a procedure by which a shareholder of the Corporation may certify in writing to
the Corporation that all or a portion of the stock registered in the shareholder’s name are held for the account of a specified
person or persons. The resolution must set forth: |
| (a) | The classification of shareholder who may certify; |
| (b) | The purpose or purposes for which the certification may be made; |
| (c) | The form of certification and information to be contained therein; |
| (d) | If the certification is with respect to a record date or closing of the stock transfer
books, the date within which the certification must be received by the Corporation; and |
| (e) | Other provisions with respect to the procedure as are deemed necessary or desirable. |
Upon
receipt of a certification complying with this procedure, the Corporation must treat the persons specified in the certification
as the holders of record for the number of shares specified in place of the shareholder making the certification.
| 3.08 | CLASSES OR SERIES OF STOCK. Until such time that the Articles are amended
accordingly, the stock of the Corporation is not classified, and is not in series. In the event the Board decides to classify or reclassify
the stock or alter any shareholder rights or restrictions, then the Board shall cause an amendment to its Articles to be filed with the
Secretary of State. The amendment must describe the rights and restrictions which are being modified or altered, along with a statement
(if any) that the stock has been classified or reclassified. Pursuant to Sections 21.053 through 21.055 of the Law, the amendment shall
be acknowledged and signed by either a director or an executive officer on behalf of the Board, or an agent authorized to submit filings
on the Corporation’s behalf. |
| 3.09 | STOCK OWNED BY ENTITIES. Per Section 21.366 of the Law, stock held by another
corporation may be voted by that other corporation’s officer, agent, or proxy chosen by its board of directors, or, in the absence
of such determination, by the president of that other corporation. Per Section 21.366 of the Law, shares of stock in the Corporation held
by a fiduciary of the named shareholder may be voted or represented by the fiduciary. |
Subject to Section 21.366 of the Law,
the Corporation may vote or represent stock that it holds in itself, provided the Corporation holds such stock in a fiduciary capacity.
If the Corporation holds stock in itself in such a fiduciary capacity, then such stock shall be counted in determining the total number
of outstanding shares of stock at a given time.
ARTICLE 4
Shareholders' Meetings
| 4.01 | MEETING PLACE. Per Section 21.351 of the Law, all shareholder meetings must
be held at the Corporation’s principal office or other place predetermined by the Board. As permitted by Section 21.3521 of the

21.351 of the Law, failure to hold an annual meeting at the time stated in or fixed within these Bylaws does not affect the validity
of any corporate action.
| 4.03 | ANNUAL MEETING – ORDER OF BUSINESS. Pursuant to Section 21.351 of
the Law, the order of business at the annual shareholder meeting is as follows: |

| (c) | Reading of minutes of last annual meeting; |
| (f) | Election of directors; |

| 4.04 | SPECIAL MEETINGS. Subject to Section 21.352 of the Law, special shareholder
meetings, for any purpose, may be called at any time by the President, the Board, or the Secretary. A special shareholder meeting may

shares entitled to vote at the meeting. |
| 4.05 | NOTICE. Pursuant to Section 21.353 of the Law, the Secretary shall cause
notice to be given to each shareholder of record at least ten (10) days, but no more than sixty (60) days, before the shareholders’
meeting. Notice shall be by electronic transmission, mailing, or personal delivery, and shall state the time, place, and purpose of the
meeting (including instructions for how to virtually attend and participate). Notice is considered given to a shareholder when it is personally
provided to the shareholder, left at the shareholder’s residence or usual place of business, mailed to the shareholder’s address
of record, or by electronic transmission to the shareholder’s address or number of record on file with the Corporation. A single
notice can be delivered to multiple shareholders sharing the same address, unless the Corporation receives a request from a shareholder
that more than a single notice be delivered. |
Notice by electronic transmission shall
be considered ineffective if the Corporation is unable to deliver two (2) consecutive notices and the individual responsible for sending
notices to shareholders is made aware of the delivery failures. A shareholder meeting, and any actions taken by shareholders, shall not
be invalidated due to an inadvertent failure to deliver notice.
Per Section 21.353 of the Law and Section
4.07 of these Bylaws, the notice must include the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such
date is different than the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting.
| 4.06 | WAIVER OF NOTICE. As stated in Section 6.052 of the Code, a shareholder
who is entitled to notice may waive the notice requirement if they provide a signed written waiver of the required notice, before or after
the stated meeting time, or the shareholder is present at the meeting in person or by proxy and fails to object to the holding of the
meeting or particular matter at the meeting outside the purpose described in the notice. |

number of shares of stock held by each shareholder. This record must be kept on file at the Corporation’s principal office for a
period of ten (10) days prior to the meeting. The records must also be kept open for inspection at shareholder meetings. |
| 4.08 | CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS AND FIXING RECORD DATE. Subject to Section
21.355 of the Law, the Board may order the stock transfer books to be closed in order to determine which shareholders are entitled
to notice of or to vote at any shareholder meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend. Instead
of closing the stock transfer books, the Board may fix in advance a record date for determination of such shareholders. The record date
must not be more than sixty (60) days or less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the meeting, adjournment, or payment. |
| 4.09 | SHAREHOLDER LIABILITY. Consistent with Section 21.223 of the Law, shareholders
are not liable to the Corporation or its creditors, except that in the event the agreed upon price or consideration for the stock has
not been fully paid. In the event that a subscription price or consideration for stock has not been fully paid, the following people are
not personally liable for the unpaid balance: |
| (a) | a transferee or assignee who acquires the stock or subscription in good faith and
without knowledge or notice of the nonpayment; |
| (b) | a person who holds the stock as a fiduciary, although the estate in the hands of
the fiduciary is liable for the nonpayment; and |
| (c) | a pledgee or other person who holds stock as security. |
| 4.10 | VOTING RIGHTS. Pursuant to Section 21.366 of the Law and the Articles of
Incorporation of the Corporation, each outstanding share of stock is entitled to vote on all such matters as may be put to a vote of the
specific class or series of shares entitled to vote on the subject at a shareholder meeting; provided the voted or represented shares
are held in compliance with any payment plan, subscription, or stock purchase agreement. |
| 4.11 | PROXIES. As permitted by Section 21.367 of the Law, a shareholder may vote
either in person or by proxy, signed in writing by the shareholder or the shareholder’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact. No proxy
is valid after eleven (11) months from the date signed, unless the proxy states otherwise. A proxy is revocable by a shareholder at any
time, unless the proxy states that it is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest. |
| 4.12 | QUORUM. As provided in Section 21.358 of the Law, the presence, in person
or by proxy, of shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all the outstanding voting stock constitutes a quorum. If a quorum is present
at a shareholder meeting, then a majority of all the votes cast at the meeting is sufficient to approve any matter properly brought before
the meeting. |
| 4.13 | ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING. Per Section 6.201 of the Code, any action which may be
taken at any annual or special shareholder meeting may be taken without a meeting if all of the shareholders entitled to vote on the subject
consent to the action in writing. Such consent has the same force and effect as a unanimous vote of the shareholders. |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 8 |
Per Section 6.202 of the Code, any action
which may be taken at any annual or special shareholder meeting may be taken without a meeting and without notice if the holders of a
majority of the shares entitled to vote on the subject consent to the action in writing. Since consent of the majority is determinative,
the Corporation shall take action in accordance with the determinative consent, shall refrain from expending the Corporation’s resources
to obtain the non-determinative opinions of other holders, and shall make information available concerning the action so taken through
notification on the Corporation’s website and/or by other means. Such consent has the same force and effect as a majority vote of
the shareholders.

III. TERM. This Consulting Agreement shall
commence upon execution, and shall retroactively cover the period starting on ______________ ___, 2024, when Consultants' services were
first informally engaged, and shall continue until such time as RITE determines in its sole discretion that Consultants' services will
no longer be required; provided, however, that the minimum term of engagement shall be no less than twelve (12) months. Subject to the
aforementioned minimum term, the Parties may terminate this Consulting Agreement on ninety (90) days' written notice. Any and all compensation
earned or being earned by Consultants' during the term of this Consulting Agreement which, for any reason, may be outstanding or otherwise
due, payable, inuring or accruing to Consultants', or, for whatever reason, be uncalculated, in process, or unpaid at the time of termination
of this Consulting Agreement, shall continue to inure to the benefit of Consultants', shall continue to be paid, in process, due and payable

V. PAYMENT METHOD. Consultant shall be paid,
in accordance with section IV, by any mutually acceptable electronic mean to effectuate the transfer of funds, including but not limited
to, bank wire, ACH and Zelle, or in any other mutual agreeable fashion as may be determined by the Parties from time to time.
VI. ENGAGEMENT FEE AND FURTHER TERMS.
As an integral component and inducement for the Parties to enter into this Consulting Agreement, Consultants and RITE hereby further agree
that:
a.) RITE shall sell to Consultants,
or their assigns, a ___-year, assignable, non-cancellable, contractual right to purchase ________________________________ (_______) shares
of RITE Convertible Preferred Class C stock, at a price of _________________($______.___) per share;
b.) each such contractual right,
as described herein, shall cost Consultant _______ USD ($___.00), such that the total sum of all such rights being purchased and sold
herein shall be the total of ___________________________ and no/100 USD ($_______.___);
c.) each such share of RITE Convertible
Preferred Class C shall allow holder to convert said share, at holder's sole discretion, into the equivalent of four hundred thousand
(400,000) common shares of RITE as such common shares exist at the effective date of this Consulting Agreement (as may be adjusted from
time to time by any and all corporate actions or reorganizations that RITE might undergo during the term covered by these aforementioned
contractual rights);
d.) pursuant to the agreed upon
exercise price of each such right, allowing the holder to buy each share of Convertible Preferred Class C at the afore stated price, the

value of each Convertible Preferred Class C share exactly equates to the financial value of the underlying RITE common shares at the time
this Consulting Agreement is executed (400,000 shares X $__________ per share = $_________.___), and in fact, actually subjects Consultant
to the additional financial costs and risks associated with his cost to acquire such contractual rights, the conversion thereof, and the
restrictions associated therewith (including but not limited to the afore stated cost of acquisition of the assignable, non-cancellable
contractual right of purchase being paid by Consultant); and

paying for the acquisition of these rights has been negotiated in a fair and equitable manner by the Parties and is directly related to
the cost of RITE stock trading in the market at the effective date of this Consulting Agreement.
Consultants and RITE further agree that the option
premium being paid for the rights that Consultants are purchasing, and RITE is selling pursuant to this paragraph shall be transacted
in a prompt fashion, and the Parties will cause their respective books and records to reflect the terms of this transaction.
VII. CONTINGENCY AND TRANSACTION FEES. In addition
to the compensation and engagement fee and further terms, and as a further integral component and inducement for the Parties to enter
into this Consulting Agreement, the Parties further understand and acknowledge that additional contingency-based or transaction-based
fees may be earned by Consultants during the term of this Consulting Agreement, as they may be negotiated and agreed to by the Parties
from time to time in the normal course of the performance of Consultants' Services, and Consultants and RITE hereby acknowledge and agree
that all such fees will be reasonable and customary and within the range of that which will be considered industry standard for similar
such transactions.

themselves, then any Party may submit the dispute to mediation by a mediator approved by all Parties. If the Parties cannot agree with
any mediator or if any Party does not wish to abide by any decision of the mediator, they shall submit the dispute to binding arbitration.

viewing or reference whatsoever in any Arbitration proceeding.
The Parties agree that the Compendium shall constitute
the sole and exclusive repository and source of documents that the Parties may access, reference, or use as evidence in connection with
any dispute related in any manner to this Agreement. The Parties agree that this Agreement and the Compendium, shall not be disclosed,

Consultants acknowledge that it will be necessary for RITE to disclose certain confidential and proprietary information to Consultants

otherwise available at law.

RE:                                                                        LETTER OF INTENT
DATE:                                                        February 22, 2024
Per our recent
conversation, please let this missive serve as our binding formal Letter of Commitment to undertake the following actions:
1. MineralRite
Corporation ("RITE") (i) is a Texas Corporation, (ii) is registered under file number 800138349, (iii) whose common stock is
publicly traded on the OTC Pink Market under the ticker symbol "RITE" and has CUSIP: 60313P100; and (iv) is engaged in various
aspects of the minerals and mining business.
2. Alex
Harmon, Chris Harmon, Robert Underwood, and Steve Durrant ("OWNERS") are the present owners and holders of any residual assets
that were previously owned and controlled by the now defunct Goldfield International, Inc., which (i) was a Utah corporation, (ii) was
registered under entity number 5396238-0142, (iii) whose charter expired on 12/28/2016; and (iv) was engaged in the design, manufacture
and sale of mineral and mining equipment.
3. RITE
wishes to purchase, and OWNERS wish to sell, the exclusive, worldwide rights to brand, build and sell various gold mining equipment, particularly
including, but not limited to, those products commonly known as the Goldfield brand Prospector, Explorer, and Goldtron
Tables ("PRODUCTS") which were formally branded, built and sold by Goldfield International, Inc.
4. RITE
and OWNERS ("PARTIES") have agreed to consummate this purchase and sale over the course of three phases:
Phase
1: (Intellectual Property Rights and Intellectual Property Asset Acquisition) will consist of the delivery of (i)
satisfactory documentation transferring the worldwide exclusive rights to the Goldfield brand of equipment, and the associated business
rights of manufacture, sale, advertising and all other rights thereto, to brand, build and sell said PRODUCTS and (ii) a complete set
of blueprints covering all components necessary to produce fully operational, working units of said PRODUCTS, commonly known as the Goldfield
brand Prospector, Explorer and Goldtron Tables, and all variations thereof. Upon delivery of both aforementioned deliverables, RITE will
promptly issue to OWNERS the collective sum of 200 shares of RITE Preferred Series C, each share of which is convertible into 400,000
shares of RITE common stock, to be registered in the individual names of OWNERS pursuant to instructions provided to RITE by OWNERS detailing
the number of shares to be paid to each such individual OWNER.
Phase 2: (Delivery of Business Records
and Conversion of Blueprints into Solidworks compatible software files) will consist of (1) the engagement of third-party
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 1 |
consultants by RITE, at RITE's sole expense, to convert the blueprints
into Solidworks compatible software files; and (2) shall also include the personal services of Alex Harmon ("OWNER CONSULTANT")
to (2-i) aid, assist, and ensure that the resulting Solidworks software files will be fully usable to produce units of each variation
of the Goldfield brand Prospector, Explorer and Goldtron Tables; and (2-ii) obtain, deliver, aid, assist and ensure that any former sales
and/or customer records, including but not limited to email communications, which are still in the possession of OWNERS and which relate
to said PRODUCTS, are delivered in a meaningful format to RITE. It is herein noted that, among the four OWNERS, Alex
Harmon has been purposely chosen to become the OWNER CONSULTANT because of: (a) his knowledge level and expertise (as a result of his
former engagement in the design, production, sales, maintenance, and field usage of the said PRODUCTS); (b) his present engagement as
a consultant to RITE; and (c) his availability and willingness to commit the requisite time and effort necessary to see this phase of
the project to a successful conclusion. Upon completion of this phase, RITE will reimburse OWNER CONSULTANT for all out-of-pocket expenses
paid by OWNER CONSULTANT and an amount of no less than 50 shares of RITE Preferred Series C, each share of which is convertible into 400,000
shares of RITE common stock as shall be mutually determined and agreeable to the RITE and OWNER CONSULTANT.
Phase
3: (Sale of Equipment by RITE to End Use Customers) will consist of the sale of any spare parts or units of said PRODUCTS to end
use or other customers, for a period of four (4) years following the execution of this binding formal Letter of Commitment, during which
each such OWNER shall be paid on a monthly basis, such that the collective amount of all such payment sums to five (5%) percent of sales
revenue (not including revenue attributable to shipping and/or sales taxes) as royalties, pursuant to the instructions provided to RITE
by OWNERS detailing the proportion of each such collective royalty payment which shall be paid to each such individual OWNER.
5. The Parties hereby agree that RITE shall make no guaranty
that it will be able to successfully complete all Phases of this acquisition. Nonetheless, RITE shall be obliged to promptly pay the amount
specified herein for each Phase upon the successful completion of that Phase.
6. In the event that OWNERS complete the obligations that
they have agreed to undertake for Phases 1 and 2 above, and RITE does not begin to sell PRODUCTS within a period of 18 months after the
successful completion of Phase 2, then the exclusive license being purchased by RITE from OWNERS, as described herein, shall convert to
a non-exclusive license, and OWNERS shall be also free to license said PRODUCTS to other groups on a non-exclusive basis.
7. The Parties hereby agree that, in the event that OWNERS
are presently, or come to be in possession of any inventory of parts, components, or equipment that RITE determines, in its sole discretion,
can be used to build said PRODUCTS, then RITE shall be given the first right of refusal to purchase said parts, components or equipment
at their fair market value.
8. The
Parties hereto also agree to execute and supply all documentation required to evidence this agreement and their performance of duties
required under this agreement as may be required by any legal, accounting and/or tax professionals, and further agree to replace this
agreement, when and if needed, with a more formal document containing substantively similar terms and conditions as those contained herein
but written in such manner as may be prescribed by said aforementioned legal, accounting and/or tax professionals.

It is my hope
that this simple letter of agreement accurately reflects all of the terms and conditions to which we have agreed, and will be adequate
to serve each Party's purpose until such time as a more formal document may be required and assembled.

This agreement
hereby amends the Letter of Commitment executed by the Parties, as defined therein and as referenced below, on or around February 22,

to the terms of paragraph 7 of the Letter of Commitment, MineralRite Corporation ("RITE") wishes to purchase, and OWNERS wish
to sell, all remaining equipment, inventory, spare parts, tools and other physical components used by or used in the former business of

located, anywhere in the world, including but not limited to the two known trailer locations in Utah and a on-site in the Democratic Republic
of the Congo .
2. RITE
and OWNERS ("PARTIES") have agreed to consummate this purchase and sale as follows:
Alex Harmon,
on behalf of OWNERS, will re-assert control over the two trailers of equipment, and assemble an itemized list of the equipment contained
therein and elsewhere; assign a realistic sale value for each item listed thereon; and determine, in his sole discretion, if he believes
each such item should be kept or sold based on its usefulness to the project contemplated herein; and endeavor to sell all such items
that he has determined should be sold. The proceeds for all such items sold will be promptly deposited, directly or transmitted by Zelle
or other means, to the financial account of RITE and will be accounted for accordingly.
Based

For the
personal services of Alex Harmon ("OWNER CONSULTANT") being performed hereunder, RITE will reimburse OWNER CONSULTANT for all
out-of-pocket expenses paid by OWNER CONSULTANT and issue an amount of no less than 50 shares of RITE Preferred Series C, each share of
which is convertible into 400,000 shares of RITE common stock as shall be mutually determined and agreeable to the RITE and OWNER CONSULTANT.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises and mutual promises, covenants, and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency
of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
TRANSACTION PROVISIONS
1. BILL
OF SALE. NMC, pursuant to the terms, conditions and warranties represented herein, hereby sells to RITE its right, title, interest
and ownership in the Subsidiaries.
2. PURCHASE
PRICE; SINKING FUND; CONVEYANCE TO ESCROW. The Parties mutually agree that the price for the sale and assignment of the Subsidiaries
described herein shall be the sum of one hundred eighty million ($180,000,000) United States Dollars (hereinafter the “Purchase
Price”) which shall be paid by RITE to NMC in the following form:
| a. | RITE will assume NMC’s obligations in the amount of five million ($5,000,000) United States Dollars,
which will include the cash compensation to be awarded to the NMC directors pursuant to the Resolution of NMC Board of Directors dated
August 3, 2010; and |
| b. | RITE will issue to NMC one (1) share of Series NMC $25 convertible preferred par value stock and one warrant
to purchase shares of RITE common stock for each one thousand (1,000) shares of NMC common stock outstanding and for each one thousand
(1,000) shares of NMC phantom stock held by the board members of NMC (hereinafter the “Share Count Calculation Method”). |
| 1. | Based on NMC’s belief , the Parties agree that the total number of NMC common shares that are outstanding
is approximately six billion three hundred sixty-five million (6,365,000,000), which includes what the Parties believe should be a sufficient
number of shares to satisfy the discrepancy between NMC’s transfer agent and DTC; and the total number of phantom shares held by
the board members of NMC is five hundred thirty-five million (535,000,000); and therefore the total sum of all NMC common shares and phantom
common share equivalents is approximately six billion nine hundred million shares (6,900,000,000) shares (hereinafter the “Share
Estimation Method”). In the event of a discrepancy between the Share Count Calculation Method and the Share Estimation Method, then
the Parties agree that the Share Count Calculation Method shall be selected |
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 2 |
as the applicable method to settle such
discrepancy, and the Parties agree to adjust the shares being paid by RITE to NMC accordingly.
| 2. | Pursuant to the declaration in 2(b)1 above, RITE will issue to NMC an estimated six
million nine hundred thousand (6,900,000) shares of Series NMC $25 convertible preferred. |
| 3. | In doing so, RITE hereby acknowledges and accepts: (i) the existence of the rights of the NMC directors
pursuant to said NMC Phantom Share Plan; (2) that the phantom shares awarded to the NMC directors shall be treated in a manner equal to
the treatment of the outstanding shares of NMC common stock, (iii) that the value placed on each share under the terms of this transaction
is slightly in excess of $0.02536 per share; and (iv) that the floor price of the sinking fund which will be established to repurchase
the shares of Series NMC $25 convertible preferred will be set to $25.40 per share. |
| c. | RITE agrees to establish a sinking fund which will purchase the Series NMC $25 convertible preferred shares
back from the holders. |
| 1. | The sinking fund will commit to buy back the shares of Series NMC $25 convertible preferred stock from
the holders, starting at the stock’s par value of $25, growing at the rate of five (5%) percent per annum, subject to a floor price
of $25.40, and contingent on the availability of sufficient funds in the sinking fund. |
| 2. | Holders of the Series NMC $25 convertible preferred stock shall have the right to tender their Series
NMC $25 convertible preferred shares to the sinking fund or convert them into RITE common shares at their discretion. The Parties agree
to establish definitive rules by which the sinking fund will operate, which shall include, but not be limited to, the process which will
need to be followed for acceptance or conversion; the method of share selection; the method of notification; timing restrictions (if any);
and blackout periods (if any). The Parties further agree that said rules will be established prior to the commencement of the Regulation
A offering described in Section 6 herein so that they can be properly disclosed as may be required by such offering. |
| d. | NMC agrees that upon receipt by NMC of (i) the six million nine hundred thousand (6,900,000) shares of
Series NMC $25 convertible preferred; (ii) the six million nine hundred thousand (6,900,000) warrants, and (iii) the payment guaranty
in the amount of five million ($5,000,000) United States Dollars to cover the outstanding obligations of NMC that RITE has agreed to assume
pursuant to this transaction, which NMC will then hold on behalf of the shareholders of NMC until such time as the Parties mutual agree
to distribute said shares and warrants, NMC will promptly convey all requisite documents, as further described in Section 4(b), to the
Escrow Account to be held under the terms of the Escrow Agreement. |
| e. | RITE agrees that upon receipt by RITE of the one hundred (100%) percent ownership of the Subsidiaries,
RITE will promptly convey all requisite documents, as further described in Section 4(a), to the Escrow Account to be held under the terms
of the Escrow Agreement. |
3. TITLE
TRANSFER. The Parties agree that the sale and assignment of title for the Subsidiaries (hereinafter the “Deed of Assignment”),
shall occur in the jurisdiction of the State of Texas, USA, evidenced
Please review pages 2 & 3 - Cautionary Notes on Forward-Looking Statements. | 3 |
by the execution of the Deed of Assignment, in the
form as set forth in Exhibit 2 hereto.
4. CLOSING.
The Parties agree that closing the transaction described herein shall be completed through an expedited closing process whereby RITE will
deliver to the Escrow Agent the documents specified in section 4(a) of this Definite Agreement and NMC will deliver to the Escrow Agent
the documents specified in section 4(b) of this Definitive Agreement. Promptly upon receipt, the Escrow Agent will review the documents

SPECIALTY PROVISIONS
6.   AGREEMENT
TO FILE OFFERING AND SEEK UNDERWRITER. RITE agrees that, within one hundred eighty (180) days of the execution of this Definitive
Agreement, it will file or cause to be filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), a Regulation A+, Tier 1
or Tier 2 Offering (the “Offering”) or other alternate funding program to include, but not be limited to, a Regulation D,
a Regulation S, a Venture Capital or Private Equity funding, a SAFE, a SPAC, an S-1 or other suitable funding mechanism or combinations
thereof, specifically to fund the development of the mineral assets of the Subsidiaries, unless funds have or are in the process of being
raised from other sources. RITE agrees to endeavor to raise the maximum amount the selected Offering methodology allows, which is twenty
million ($20,000,000) United States Dollars per annum for a Regulation A+ Tier 1 offering and seventy-five million ($75,000,000) United
States Dollars per annum for a Regulation A+ Tier 2 offering.
RITE agrees that the use of proceeds of the Offering
will stipulate that eighty (80%) percent of the first sixteen million ($16,000,000) United States Dollars of net funds raised shall be
exclusively earmarked for development of the mineral assets of the Subsidiaries and/or used to pay down the five million ($5,000,000)
United States Dollars in outstanding obligations of NMC that RITE has assumed pursuant to this transaction. Additionally, one half of
all the non-earmarked funds, which are hereby defined to include the other twenty (20%) percent of the first sixteen million ($16,000,000)
United Stated Dollars that were not earmarked and any funds raised above sixteen million ($16,000,000) United States Dollars, will be
made available to the sinking fund to buy back shares of the Series NMC $25 convertible preferred stock or used to pay down the outstanding
obligations of NMC that RITE has assumed pursuant to this transaction.
RITE agrees to continue raising capital or otherwise
generating funds to be made available to the sinking fund to buy back shares of the Series NMC $25 convertible preferred stock or used
to pay down the outstanding obligations of NMC that RITE has assumed pursuant to this transaction until such time as all Series NMC $25
convertible preferred stock has been repurchased by the sinking fund or converted at the option of the holder into shares of RITE common
stock. RITE further acknowledges and accepts the on-going nature of the obligations described herein.
RITE also agrees to seek to engage an underwriter
in the form of a registered broker-dealer (the “Underwriter”) to place the full amount of the Offering. RITE agrees to accept
full responsibility for compliance with, or exemption from, as the case may be, all federal and state securities laws and offering requirements
(including Blue-Sky compliance) and record keeping requirements related to the Offering. The Parties agree that the costs of the preparation
of the Offering, payment of the Underwriter and reimbursement of any costs directly related to the Offering, shall be reimbursed from
the proceeds prior to (i) any disbursement made towards the development of the mineral assets of the Subsidiaries, (ii) any payments made
to pay down the five million ($5,000,000) United States Dollars in outstanding obligations of NMC that RITE has assumed pursuant to this
transaction, and (iii) any funds being made available to the sinking fund to buy back shares of the Series NMC $25 convertible preferred
stock.
The Parties hereto also agree that RITE retains all
rights and is authorized to raise funds for purposes unrelated to the development of the mineral assets of the Subsidiaries.

execute an employment agreement with RITE; (iii) terminate his employment agreement with NMC; (iv) serve RITE in a capacity that is mutually
agreed upon in order to ensure a smooth transition and the success of the transaction described herein; and (v) perform his role in such
manner as to act in the best interests of all NMC and RITE shareholders.
8. TRADE
PROGRAM. The Parties agree that, in the event that a potential funder comes forward, by June 30, 2025, with a bona fide offer to purchase
the Skull Valley tailings and the requisite documentation necessary to support such offer, including but not limited to (i) proof of the
availability of funds and/or proof of a monetization commitment for such funds; (ii) proof of Anti Money Laundering compliance, (iv) proof
that the trading platform has made a previous distribution to a known party, and (v) proof that the asset has been approved by the platform
to enter into trade, then James Burgauer, Michael Sheppard, and the entire Board of Directors of MineralRite Corporation, hereby agree
that they shall consider all available options pursuant to said offer, including but not limited to (a) the sale, or (b) sale and repurchase
of the Skull Valley tailings (the “Trade Program Financing”).
The Parties agree that, in the event that a Trade
Program Financing transaction is consummated, the proceeds derived therefrom shall be used to (i) cover the legal and other costs associated
with evaluating and accepting the potential funder’s offer; (ii) reimburse RITE for the direct costs associated with the Skull Valley
tailings development project incurred accordingly, and (iii) fund the sinking fund to buy back shares of the Series NMC $25 convertible
preferred stock or used to pay down the five million ($5,000,000) United Staes Dollars in outstanding obligations of NMC that RITE has
assumed pursuant to this transaction.
The Parties agree that any proceeds received in excess
of the funds needed to fully satisfy the aforementioned obligations shall be divided equally between RITE and NMC.
The Parties agree that such consideration will be
undertaken with full intent to craft a suitable strategy to achieve RITE’s, NMC’s and the potential funder’s collective
objectives, with specific intent to facilitate the receipt, acceptance and application of any and all legally compliant funds in such
manner as to advance the collective needs of, and for the mutual benefit of all Parties, including but not limited to, the holders of
the Series NMC $25 convertible preferred stock.
9.                            UNWINDING.
The Parties agree that the success of the transaction described herein is dependent on certain actions which RITE has agreed to undertake,
which have been memorialized in Section 6. AGREEMENT TO FILE OFFERING AND SEEK UNDERWRITER and Section 7. EXPANSION OF THE RITE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS of this Definitive Agreement.
The Parties agree that failure by RITE to (i) file
or cause to be filed with the SEC, within one hundred eighty (180) days of the execution of this Definitive Agreement, a Regulation A+,
Tier 1 or Tier 2 Offering (the “Offering”), or to engage in another suitable alternate funding methodology to fund the development
of the mineral assets of the Subsidiaries, unless funds have or are in the process of being raised from other sources; or (ii) expand
its Board of Directors to include Michael Sheppard in order to provide further comfort and continuity to the NMC shareholders, (the “Performance
Failure by RITE”) shall allow NMC’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, to unwind the transaction described herein
if they so choose to do so.
The Parties further agree that in the event that NMC’s
Board of Director chooses to unwind and does unwind this transaction pursuant a Performance Failure by RITE, then RITE will be granted
the equivalent of two hundred (200) shares of NMC common stock (200 shares x $0.005 per share = $1.00), payable in common

stock or in any other such form of compensation as
may be mutually agreed to by the Parties at that time, for each one ($1) United States Dollar of funds contributed by RITE and used to

or paid into, or on behalf of, the Subsidiaries towards the development of the mineral project.

and the recipient confirms receipt by replying to the email or electronic transmission within 24 hours. If no confirmation is received
within that time, the Notice shall be deemed to have been sent but not received.
23.                        NO
WAIVER. None of the provisions of this Definitive Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by any act, omission, or acquiescence
on the part of either Party without a written instrument signed by both Parties. No waiver by a Party of any breach shall be effective
unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of such Party, and no waiver shall be construed as a waiver of any succeeding

breach or of any provision of this Definitive Agreement,
as each occurrence of breach and each provision shall be treated as specific and unique.

same, and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Definitive Agreement until the Parties shall have satisfied and performed all
of their respective obligations hereunder.
26.                        RIGHTS
CUMULATIVE. The rights, remedies, powers, and privileges provided to either Party under this Definitive Agreement are cumulative and
are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any rights, remedies, powers, or privileges provided by law or under any other agreement
or instrument. No exercise or enforcement of any right, remedy, power, or privilege by either Party shall preclude the exercise or enforcement
of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege at any time or from time to time. The failure or delay by either Party to exercise any
right, remedy, power, or privilege shall not operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power,
or privilege shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof.
27.                        SEVERABILITY.
If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Definitive Agreement to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable as to any

or circumstance. If practicable, the offending provision shall be deemed modified such that it becomes legal, valid and enforceable. If
the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be deemed deleted from this Definitive Agreement. Unless otherwise required by

Each of the Parties hereto confirms, with full corporate authority and capacity, that each has full legal and lawful authority to execute

Agreement in good faith and each shall use their best efforts, in the spirit of equitable cooperation, to promptly achieve the purpose
set forth herein.

and specifically those obligations specified in Section 6. Any failure by either Party to perform any obligation within the time period
specified in this Definitive Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, shall constitute a breach of this Definitive
Agreement, entitling the non-breaching Party to pursue all available remedies upon fifteen (15) days’ notice and/or opportunity
to cure, unless the delay is caused by Force Majeure or another event beyond the reasonable control of the breaching Party.
