| 1. | ORGANIZATION
AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS |
Rimrock Gold Corp. is a diversified mineral
exploration company focused on identifying, acquiring, advancing, and drilling high-grade gold-silver exploration projects in
Nevada.
Rimrock Gold Corp., formerly Tucana Lithium
Corp., Oteegee Innovations Inc. and Pay By The Day Holdings Inc., (the “Company” or “Rimrock”) was incorporated
in August 2007 in the State of Nevada. On January 24, 2013, the Company filed a certificate of amendment to amend
the articles of incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State changing the Company’s name to Rimrock Gold Corp.
During October 2013, Rimrock Gold Corp.,
and its wholly owned subsidiary, Rimrock Mining Inc., closed a purchase agreement with RMIC Gold, a private Nevada company, to
acquire an epithermal bonanza gold-silver property known as the Ivanhoe Creek Property. This transaction is a non-arms length
transaction due to common ownership of a director. Ivanhoe Creek Property consists of 22 unpatented lode-mining claims (440 acres)
situated in north-central Nevada. In consideration for the acquisition, the Company has agreed to issue 150,000 shares of the
Company's common shares to RMIC Gold. Any mineral production from Ivanhoe Creek Property is subject to Net Smelter
Returns royalties of 1% due to RMIC Gold.
The Company’s main exploration targets
are for gold/silver deposits located in the State of Nevada. The Company continues its plans to explore these properties.
The Company operates Tucana Exploration Inc.
and Rimrock Mining, Inc. as wholly owned subsidiaries.
The Company operates under the web-site address
www.rimrockgold.com.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for interim financial information and the SEC instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Operating results for the six months ended February 28, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2015. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended August
31, 2014.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed
consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Rimrock Gold Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
These consolidated financial statements have
been prepared assuming the Company will continue on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses during the six months
amounting to $493,183 and has accumulated deficit of $4,391,552 as at February 28, 2015. The ability of the Company to continue
as a going-concern depends upon its ability to develop profitable operations and to continue to raise adequate financing. Management
is actively targeting sources of additional financing to provide continuation of the Company’s operations. In order for
the Company to meet its liabilities as they come due and to continue its operations, the Company is solely dependent upon its
ability to generate such financing. The Company is actively seeking financing to fully execute the next phase of the Company’s
exploration campaign and future acquisitions. Any capital raised will be through either a private placement or a convertible debenture
and will result in the issuance of common shares from the Company’s authorized capital. The Company believes
it can satisfy minimum cash requirements for the next twelve months with either an equity financing, convertible debenture or
if needed, loans from shareholders.
RIMROCK GOLD CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2015
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
There can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations. Should the Company be
unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets
may be materially less than the amounts recorded in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts
and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The accounting policies of the Company are
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Presented below are those
policies considered particularly significant:
Exploration Stage Company
The Company is an exploration stage company.
The Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business. All losses accumulated,
since inception, have been considered as part of the Company’s exploration stage activities.
Convertible notes
The Company accounts for conversion options
embedded in convertible notes in accordance with ASC 815. ASC 815 generally requires companies to bifurcate conversion options
embedded in convertible notes from their host instruments and to account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments.
ASC 815 provides for an exception to this rule when convertible notes, as host instruments, are deemed to be conventional, as
defined by ASC 815-40.
The Company accounts for convertible notes
deemed conventional and conversion options embedded in non-conventional convertible notes which qualify as equity under ASC 815,
in accordance with the provisions of ASC 470-20, which provides guidance on accounting for convertible securities with beneficial
conversion features. Accordingly, the Company records, as a discount to convertible notes, the intrinsic value of such conversion
options based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction
and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of
the related debt.
Mineral Properties and Exploration and
Development Costs
The costs of acquiring mineral rights are
capitalized at the date of acquisition. After acquisition, various factors can affect the recoverability of the capitalized costs.
If, after review, management concludes that the carrying amount of a mineral property is impaired, it will be written down to
estimated fair value. Exploration and pre-extraction expenditures incurred on mineral properties are expensed as incurred until
such time the Company exits the Exploration Stage by establishing proven or probable reserves, as defined by the SEC under Industry
Guide 7, through the completion of a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study. Development costs incurred
on proven and probable reserves will be capitalized. Upon commencement of production, capitalized costs will be amortized using
the unit-of-production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on proven and probable reserves (which exclude non-recoverable
reserves and anticipated processing losses). When the Company receives an option payment related to a property, the proceeds of
the payment are applied to reduce the carrying value of the exploration asset. Under Industry Guide 7, the Company does not have
proven or probable reserves.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2015

5. RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements
are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company
as of the specified effective date.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15,
Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, which will require an entity’s management to assess,
for each annual and interim period, whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going
concern within one year of the financial statement issuance date. The definition of substantial doubt within the new standard
incorporates a likelihood threshold of “probable” similar to the use of that term under current GAAP for loss contingencies.
Certain disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt. The guidance will be effective for the Company
beginning with fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this amended
guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08,
"Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures
of Disposals of Components of an Entity'', which revises what qualifies as a discontinued operation, changes the criteria for determining
which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. This ASU will be effective
for the Company for applicable transactions occurring after October 1, 2015. The Company will prospectively apply the guidance
to applicable transactions.
On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance
Costs. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance
sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts and the accounting
for debt issue costs under IFRS. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments
in this ASU. The amendments in this Update apply to all companies. They become effective for public business entities in the annual
period ending after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application permitted. The Company
is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities”.
The amendments in this update remove the definition of a development stage entity from the Master Glossary of the ASC thereby
removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In
addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information
in the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development
stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose
in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development
stage.
The early adoption of ASU 2014-10 is permitted
which removed the development stage entity financial reporting requirements from the Company. The Company adopted the new requirements
in its financial reporting effective from September 1, 2014.
6. MINERAL
PROPERTY CLAIMS |
As of February 28, 2015, the Company
had Gold Properties in Nevada. These mineral properties are acquired through purchase or lease agreements and are subject
to varying royalty interests and lease payments. During the six months ended February 28, 2015, maintenance payments
of $7,085 (six months ended February 28, 2014 – $7,584) were required to maintain these mineral properties.

6. MINERAL
PROPERTY CLAIMS (Continued)
a. Rimrock
Property, West Silver Cloud and Pony Spur
On February 11, 2013, the Company acquired
interests in three prospective gold exploration properties known as the Rimrock Property, West Silver Cloud and Pony Spur, located
in northeast Nevada. The Acquired Properties (defined below) are comprised of almost 2,000 acres of land and are
located on or in close proximity to the Carlin Trend and Midas Trend.
The Company acquired these interests through
the issuance of 17,800,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for 100% of the shares in Rimrock Mining, Inc., a Nevada corporation. Any
mineral production from the Rimrock, West Silver Cloud, and Pony Spur Properties is subject to Net Smelter Returns royalties of
3%. Rimrock Mining, Inc. holds the interests in the properties and otherwise has nominal net assets. In accordance
with the guidance provided in ASC 805-50-30-5, the transaction has been accounted for as “Transactions between Entities
under Common Control”. The acquired properties were recorded based on the carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring
entity at the date of transfer. In addition, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to a consultant
and paid legal charges amounting to $52,117 in connection with the transaction. These costs were expensed in the period
incurred.
b. Silver Cloud Property
On May 3, 2013, the Company entered into a
purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire an exploration epithermal bonanaza gold-silver property
in Nevada, known as the Silver Cloud Property. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired from Geologix
a one hundred percent (100%) interest in and to: (i) the Mining Claims that compress 552 unpatented mining claims totaling 11,210
acres, and (ii) the Pescio Lease dated June 1, 1999 between Teck Resources Inc., and Carl Pescio and Janet Pescio, which requires
that the Company pays $50,000 to the Pescio family annually. The lease term is to June 30, 2023 with option to extend the lease
term for three subsequent ten years terms.
In consideration for the Mining Claims and
the Pescio Lease, the Company shall issue to Geologix 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Rimrock Shares”)
comprised of 400,000 shares to Geologix and 100,000 shares Geologix is required to assign to Teck Resources Inc. In
addition, if the Company delineates more than two million ounces of gold in proven and probable reserves on the Mining Claims,
then the Company will issue a further 250,000 common shares of the Company to Geologix. Any mineral production from
the Silver Cloud Property is subject to net smelter return royalties of 2% due to Royal Gold Inc. and 3% to the underlying claim
owners. These 500,000 shares were issued during the quarter ended August 31, 2013. The acquired properties
were recorded based on the fair value of the Company’s shares of common stock to be issued, which was determined based on
a recent private placement transaction adjusted for the fair value of warrants issued under that transaction.
The Company issued 1,000,000 shares of its
common stock to a consultant and paid legal charges of $30,000 in connection with the transaction. The total transaction
costs of $180,000 have been included in the cost of the assets acquired.
c.
Ivanhoe Creek Property
During October 2013, the Company
closed a purchase agreement with RMIC Gold to acquire an epithermal bonanza gold-silver property in Nevada known as the Ivanhoe
Creek Property. RMIC Gold is a private Nevada company controlled by Richard R. Redfern, who is a director of the Company
and this is a non-arm’s length transaction. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired from RMIC Gold a one
hundred percent (100%) interest in and to certain properties that compress 22 unpatented mining claims totaling 440 acres. In
consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued 150,000 shares of the Company's common shares to RMIC Gold. Any
mineral production from Ivanhoe Creek Property is subject to Net Smelter Returns royalties of 1% due to RMIC Gold. The
acquired property was valued by the fair value of the Company's share of common stock issued, which was based on a recent private
placement transaction.

Redwood Fund Convertible Note and Warrants
On April 14, 2014, the Company issued a $100,000
12% convertible note with a term to October 14, 2014 (the “Maturity Date”) to Redwood Fund (the “Holder”).
The principal amount of the note and interest is payable on the maturity date. The note is convertible into common stock beginning
six months after the issuance date, at the holder’s option, at a fixed conversion price of $0.075% per share. The conversion
price provides for down-round protection in the event any subsequent equity sales are issued at a lower conversion price. The
Company has the option to prepay all or any portion of the purchase price; however, the prepayment amount must be 110% of the
principal amount to be prepaid together with all accrued but unpaid interest. The terms of the convertible note provide for certain
redemption features which include features indexed to equity risks. In the event of default, the amount of principal and interest
not paid when due bear interest at the rate of 20% per annum and the note becomes immediately due and payable.
In connection with the issuance of the convertible
note, the Company also issued detachable warrants to Redwood Fund indexed to 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
The exercise price of the warrants is $0.10 per share. The term to expiration for the warrants is five years. The exercise price
provides for down-round protection in the event any subsequent equity sales are issued at a lower conversion price.
On September 30, 2014, the holders of the
Redwood Note and Warrants amended the Notes conversion price to $0.03; extended the Note maturity date by 6 months; and revised
the Warrants exercise price to $0.04.
The Company has evaluated the terms and conditions
of the convertible note and warrants under the guidance of ASC 815. The conversion feature did not meet the definition of “indexed
to a company’s own stock” provided for in ASC 815 due to the down round protection feature. Therefore, the conversion
feature requires bifurcation and liability classification. Additionally, the default put requires bifurcation because it is indexed
to risks that are not associated with credit or interest risk. As a result, the compound embedded derivative comprises of (i)
the embedded conversion feature and (i) the default put. Rather than bifurcating and recording the compound embedded derivative
as a derivative liability, the Company elected to initially and subsequently measure the convertible note in its entirety at fair
value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings in accordance with ASC 815-15-25-4. Additionally, the warrants did not
meet the definition of “indexed to a company’s own stock” provided for in ASC 815 due to the down round protection
feature. As a result, the warrants require liability classification.

KBM Worldwide Convertible Notes
On August 29, 2014, the Company completed
an offering by entering into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated August 25,
2014, with KBM Worldwide, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Holder”) for an aggregate principal amount of $88,500
(the “Purchase Price”) in the form of a convertible promissory note (“KBM Note #1”). On October 21, 2014,
the Company completed an offering by entering into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated October 1, 2014, with KBM Worldwide
for an aggregate principal amount of $42,500 in the form of a convertible promissory note (“KBM Note #2”). On December
30, 2014, the Company completed an offering by entering into a Securities Purchase Agreement with KBM Worldwide for an aggregate
principal amount of $33,500 in the form of a convertible promissory note (“KBM Note #3”).
The KBM Notes earns an interest rate equal
to 8% per annum and matures on May 27, 2015; July 3, 2015; and October 2, 2015. This Note may not be prepaid in whole or in part
except as otherwise explicitly set forth therein. Any amount of principal or interest on this KBM Note which is not paid when
due shall bear interest at the rate of 22% per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”).
The KBM Notes are convertible any time after
180 days after issuance, and the Purchaser has the right to convert the KBM Note into shares of the Company’s common stock
at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) equal to 58% multiplied by the Market Price (closing bid) (representing
a discount rate of 42%). “Market Price” means the average of the lowest three (3) trading prices for the common stock
during the twenty (20) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. The Conversion
Price is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares and similar recapitalization
transactions and any issuances of securities below the Conversion Price (a full ratchet reset).
In addition, in no event the Purchaser may
convert the shares into common stock if the Purchaser’s total number of shares beneficially held at that time would exceed
9.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Investor Note conversion price and Warrants exercise price
is subject to adjustments with dilutive and full reset provisions. The embedded reset feature, conversion feature, and redemption
provisions in the Note should be accounted for as a derivative liability based on guidance in ASC 820 and ASC 815.

NOTE AT FAIR VALUE (Continued)
Fair Value Considerations
ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
(“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair
value measurements. It defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability
(an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the
use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
The standard describes three levels of inputs
that August be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as
quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices
that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets
or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven
valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations August be obtained from,
or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs to measure
fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable
inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost
and effort.
The Company follows the provisions of ASC
820 with respect to its financial instruments. As required by ASC 820, assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified
in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. The Company’s
convertible promissory notes which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis under of ASC 815 as of February
28, 2015 are all measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little
or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities as of February 28, 2015.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2015
(Expressed in United States Dollars)
Our financial instruments consist of cash
and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, convertible notes payable, notes payable, and warrant liability.
It is management’s opinion that we are not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these
financial instruments. With the exception of the warrant liability, the fair value of these financial instruments approximates
their carrying values based on their short maturities or for long-term debt based on borrowing rates currently available to us
for loans with similar terms and maturities. Gains and losses recognized on changes in estimated fair value of the derivative
liability are reported in other income (expense) as gain (loss) on change in fair value.
The Company values its derivative instruments
related to embedded derivative features and warrants from the issuance of convertible debentures using Level 3 fair value inputs.
10. DERIVATIVE
LIABILITIES
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.
Further, and in accordance with ASC 815, the
embedded derivatives are revalued at each balance sheet date and marked to fair value with the corresponding adjustment as a “gain
or loss on change in fair values” in the consolidated statement of operations. As of November 30, 2014, the fair value
of the notes and warrants included on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet was $324,703. During the three months
period ended February 28, 2015, the Company recognized a gain on change in fair value totaling $3,860.
Key assumptions used in the valuation of the

The Company classifies the fair value of these
securities under level three of the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments. The fair value of the derivative liability
was calculated using a multi-nomial lattice model that values the compound embedded derivatives based on a probability weighted
discounted cash flow model. This model is based on future projections of the various potential outcomes. The fair values including
the embedded derivatives that were analyzed and incorporated into the model included the conversion feature with the full ratchet
reset and dilutive reset, and the redemption options.

Plan of Operation: Quebec
Abigail Lithium Property, Quebec
The Company's Quebec exploration target
in 2014 was expected to be the Abigail Lithium Property (the “Abigail Property”) situated within and adjacent to Nemaska
Exploration's Whabouchi Lithium discovery (as referenced in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 3, 2010). The Abigail
Lithium Project is located in the James Bay, Quebec region and is made up of 95 map-designated cells totaling approx 5,000 hectares.
They are covered by NTS sheets 320/12. The Abigail Property is located in a gneissic formation between the Lac des Montagnes
volcano-sedimentary belt and the Champion Lake granitoids. The principal exploration target for the Abigail Property
is lithium-bearing spodumene and the Abigail Property is on strike with the high-grade spodumene-bearing pegmatite located on
the Whabouchi property. The Abigail Property is underlain by the same gneissic formation that hosts the Lac Arques SW pegmatite.
Magmatic NI-Cu type deposit associated with ultramafic intrusions may also be found. The Whabouchi spodumene-bearing pegmatite
is located in a low magnetic anomaly on the flank of a medium magnetic high. A high magnetic anomaly located about one km north
of the Whabouchi pegmatite can be interpreted as an ultramafic intrusion. An airborne survey over the Abigail Property could lead
to the discovery of the same magnetic signature and help locate pegmatite and ultramafic intrusions of the Whabouchi and Nisk-1
type. In addition, the Abigail Property is easily accessible with year round roads, electrical power intersecting the Abigail
Property from the town of Nemaska, cell phone service throughout the region, and a local airport in the town of Nemaska.
Nemaska's Whabouchi deposit continues
to confirm high-grade channel samples illustrating the width of the main mineralized zone. Furthermore, Nemaska has recently announced
it is partnering with Chengdu Tianqi. Tianqi isthe largest lithium battery material provider in China that uses spodumene concentrate
as its raw material to produce lithium carbonate and has extensive expertise in lithium products. This relationship validates
Nemaska's deposit and signals the strong potential for their lithium assets in the James Bay region.
On June 13, 2011, the Company entered
into a geological and management services agreement (the “Exploration Agreement”) with Nemaska Exploration Inc. (“Nemaska”)
to coordinate and execute the Company’s Summer 2011 exploration program. The exploration campaign was led by
geologist Yves Caron. Mr. Caron is currently Vice-President Exploration for both Nemaska Exploration and Monarques Resources and
has been a member of the Ordre des Gйologues du Quйbec since 2001. The Exploration Agreement term which
was for a period of six months has expired and the Company is currently negotiating to renew the contract at a future date.
Nemaska provided exploration services
to the Company subject to the schedule of fees below.

The Company had committed to an
initial exploration work budget of a minimum of $300,000 to commence no later than May 16, 2011. The Company announced on
June 27, 2011 it started its first phase of the exploration campaign on the Abigail Property. The program commence date was delayed
due to poor weather conditions in the region. The program was carried out with a team of six people including two geologists and
four technicians under a service agreement with Nemaska. The work program covered geological reconnaissance of approximately 2,500
hectares, mostly in the central and north part of the property. In addition, the Company focused its efforts on the same geological
corridor east of the Whabouchi lithium deposit consisting of twelve kilometers on the same geological trend. The purpose of the
exploration program was mainly to locate mineralized pegmatites, but also any other kind of economic mineralization. The Company
has completed its geological and prospecting program on approximately 15% of the Property for approximately $175,000, following
the budgeted schedule listed below.
On September 19, 2011 the Company
obtained the airborne magnetic survey for the Abigail Property from the Ministry of Natural Resources in Quebec. The airborne
survey encompasses the entire Property covered by NTS Sheets 32O12 and 32O13 in the Lac Des Montagnes and Lac Abigail region of
Quebec. The airborne survey will locate the ultramafic intrusions if they exist, the basalt and/or ultramafic remnants, the contrast
between the gneiss and Champion Lake granitoids and, if the magnetic contrast with the encasing rocks is strong enough, the pregmatites.
The Company believes the airborne survey is a critical step in the development of the Abigail Property. The Company had budgeted
$150,000 for the survey, and fortunately was able to obtain the report from the Ministry of Natural Resources at a zero cost base.
The Company retained the services of Donald Theberge, a professional engineer, to fulfill a Canadian NI43-101 report on its field
operations, and to review the survey in respect to the planning of Phase II (discussed in details below) of the Company's exploration
campaign. The Nemaska report in conjunction with the airborne survey has allowed the Company to prepare a plan and budget for
Phase II of the exploration campaign on the Abigail Property. Phase II of the exploration campaign will involve a geological
survey and prospecting program covering the targets to be defined by the airborne survey.
On November 4, 2011, the Company
received the NI 43-101 report (the “Report”) summarizing the analysis of the airborne survey and containing the details
and results from the Nemaska exploration campaign in June 2011. The reconnaissance geology program was carried out
on the property by Nemaska on behalf of the Company. More than 2,000 GPS points were recorded and 39 samples were taken and analyzed.
Samples were mainly taken from pegmatites, but also from granitoid, gabbro, basalts and diab ases. Samples were taken
where mineralization was seen or suspected, like pegmatite and rusted and/or silicified zones, and when sulphides were observed. Samples
were analyzed by ALS Minerals, located at 1322, rue Harricana, Val-d’Or (Quйbec). Two grab samples returned
slightly anomalous results. The first, numbered 18070, is from a pegmatite visually containing 1% Mo, which returned 292 ppm Mo
and 466 ppm Rb. The second, numbered 18005, is from a pink pegmatite and returned 151.5 ppm Nb, 24 ppm Sm and 147.5 ppm Ta.
No drilling has been conducted by the
Company since it purchased the Abigail Property. According to the Report, the magnetic/gradiometric airborne survey
released in September 2011, observed at least three families of magnetic lineaments. The first is oriented at about 070 °
, and outlines the north boundary of the Lac des Montagnes volcanic belt. The second is oriented at approximately 040 ° and
is located in the paragneiss. The third is oriented NW/SE and has been mapped in the field as a regional diabase dyke. At
this point, the most interesting magnetic feature is the magnetic lineament located on the south part of the property, which seems
to outline the north boundary of the volcanic belt. In 1987, Westmin detected several Dighem EM anomalies along this lineament,
but did not follow up. This horizon can be fertile, mainly for sulphide-type mineralization.
The Company believes the Abigail Property
has good potential for both rare earths in pegmatites and for sulphide deposits in volcanics. In addition, the airborne
survey has found magnetic anamalies for kimberlite targets. Several kimberlite targets were discovered in the
immediate vicinity of the Property, from one to three kilometers to the north/west of the Property. On May 11, 2012, the Company
entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire 37 mining claims relevant to these kimberlite targets.
To fully explore the potential of the
Property, a two-phase program is recommended. It is described in the proposed budget shown below:

In December 2011, the Company staked an
additional 83 claims in the James Bay region of Quebec. The claims are 100% owned by the Company and registered in the name of
the Company’s subsidiary, Tucana Exploration Inc. The property is made up of 83 map-designated cells totaling 4,439 hectares
with 82 claims covered by NTS sheets 32O12 and 1 claim covered by NTS sheets 32N09. The cost of staking the claims was $8,215.
The claims will expire in November 2013 and exploration work in the amount of $100,000 will be required upon renewal. The Company
secured the additional claims based upon the NI 43-101 technical report and the magnetic and gradiometric airborne survey released
by the Quebec Ministry of Natural Resources in September 2011. The Lac des Montagnes formation is the most fertile rock in this
area for massive sulfides, and it is the same kind of volcano-sedimentary belt you would find in the Rouyn-Noranda and Val d'Or
area yet more metamorphosed. The gradiometric magnetic survey shows magnetic anomalies are present on the property and should
be further investigated.
In March 2012, the Company renewed
71 mineral claims on the Abigail Property based upon the exploration work reported in the summer of 2011. These claims will expire
between April and May 2014 and exploration work in the amount of $84,000 will be required upon renewal. In addition, the Company
has dropped 85 mineral claims located on the northern perimeter of the property. The Company's decision was based upon the results
from the exploration program in the summer 2011 and a review of the airborne magnetic survey. The majority of the claims are located
in the Lac des Montagnes volcano-sedimentary formation, and its immediate surrounding area. This is the most fertile ground in
the area, and resembles the Abitibi greenstone volcano-sedimentary formations. The Company believes it has kept the most
promising portion of the Property based upon the geology reports.
In March 2012, the Company also retained
the services of Gestion SDM Inc. to represent the Company and manage all of the Company's mineral claims with the Department of
Natural Resources in Quebec and has terminated the agreement as of August 2013.
In October 2013, the Company elected to
drop 83 Abigail claims and currently holds 95 Abigail claims. In May and June 2014 the Company elected to drop the remaining 95
Abigail claims.
Lac Kame and EM-1Properties,
Quebec
In addition to the Abigail Property,
the Company closed an Lac Kame and EM-1 Purchase Agreement to acquire a One Hundred (100%) interest in two mining properties known
as the Lac Kame and EM-1 both located in the James Bay, Quebec region of Canada. It is covered by NTS sheets 32O13. The property
is made up of 37 map-designated cells totaling 1,961 hectares. The Company's main interest with the newly acquired claims will
be magnetic anomalies for kimberlite based upon the airborne magnetic survey released in October 2011. The Company
planned on raising an addition $150,000 to commence an initial exploration campaign designed to discover the precise location
of drill test targets identified by the aireborne electromagnetic (“EM”) data. Each identified target will
be surveyed with ground EM instruments to insure that the character of the anomaly is consistent with known kimberlites. The
Company elected to let these claims expire in November 2013.
Plan of Operation: Nevada
On February 11, 2013, the Company closed
an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Tucana Holdings Inc., a Nevada
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Holdings”), and Rimrock Mining, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(“Rimrock”), pursuant to which Holdings merged with and into Rimrock, and Rimrock became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired all the interest in three prospective gold
exploration properties known as the Rimrock, West Silver Cloud and Pony Spur properties, located in northeast Nevada (the
“Acquired Properties”) and issued 17,800,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, to the sellers of the Acquired
Properties as consideration for such properties. In accordance with the guidance provided in ASC 805-50-30-5, the transaction
has been accounted for as “Transactions between Entities under Common Control”. The Acquired Properties were
recorded based on the carrying amounts in the accounts of the transferring entity at the date of transfer. In addition,
the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to a consultant and paid legal charges amounting to $52,117 in connection
with the transaction. Any mineral production from the Acquired Properties is subject to net smelter return royalties
of 3% to the previous claim owners. The Acquired Properties are comprised of almost 2,000 acres of land and are located on or
in close proximity to the Carlin Trend and Midas Trend in Elko, Nevada.
On February 13, 2013, the Company completed
an Initial Closing of a “best efforts min-max” private offering of a minimum of $500,000 up to a maximum $1,000,000
with a group of accredited investors for total gross proceeds to us of $502,000. The proceeds from the financing will
be used exclusively for the newly acquired Nevada properties.
The Company’s plan in the coming
months includes additional exploration research and operations on the Rimrock, West Silver Cloud, and Pony Spur gold-silver properties.
A detailed program of geologic mapping and local geochemical sampling and analysis has been conducted on the Rimrock property,
and a new geophysical exploration program of Controlled Source Audio Magnetotellurics has been designed and will commence in the
coming months. These programs are designed to help the Company to refine its drilling targets at the Rimrock property. The Company
will also begin on a revised 43-101 compliant technical report for the Rimrock property after the geophysics program has been
completed. Core drilling of gold-silver Midas and Carlin-style drill targets is contemplated to begin in mid 2015. Further data
compilation work and interpretive geological and geophysical analyses are being conducted on the West Silver Cloud and Pony Spur
properties. The preparation of revised technical reports of the West Silver Cloud and Pony Spur properties will be completed in
late 2015. No drilling is expected for the West Silver Cloud and Pony Spur properties in 2015.
On April 18, 2013, the Company announced
that it has completed an initial geological mapping and geochemical sampling program on the Rimrock gold-silver property in Elko
County, Nevada. The purpose of this property evaluation was to develop a surface map of the property with regard to lithology,
alteration, vein and structural kinematics and report on observations. The new geologic mapping has shown that the Rimrock gold
property contains a large-scale, multiple-fault dilation zone gold-silver target situated just north of the Hollister Mine.
The CSAMT survey covered 10.9 line Km
east-west across the property, with four survey lines spaced 250 to 400 meters apart, encompassing all of the previously identified
mineralization targets on the property. The CSAMT data were acquired using a 50 meter electric-field receiver dipole, and one
CSAMT transmitter, of a grounded dipole configuration. Initial interpretations of the CSAMT survey validate the mineralization
model developed by the Company's technical team, and include the following observations:
— The previously identified "Dilation"
gold-silver target on surface along the major "IC Fault Zone" has been verified at depth by the survey.
— The siliceous mineralization associated
with the "Dilation" target has been interpreted to be constrained by steeply dipping near-vertical fault zones.
— These fault zones are interpreted
to be up to 150 meters in width, representing one of the widest gold-silver targets in the entire Midas-Hollister region, potentially
hosting near-surface bulk-mineable gold mineralization.
— The location of older Paleozoic
basement rocks has been identified to be between 275 and 375 meters below surface, confirming the mineralization model developed
by Company geologists.
The Paleozoic basement is likely part
of the siliceous "Upper Plate" Vinini Formation package that lies beneath surface volcanic rocks, and above the Roberts
Mountain Thrust fault package that separates the Vinini from "Lower Plate" sedimentary rocks. This "Lower Plate"
sedimentary unit is known to host the large Carlin-style gold deposits situated further south at the Goldstrike-BlueStar-Carlin
mine complex. The Paleozoic rocks at Rimrock are believed to have been domally uplifted to the surface, immediately west of the
property boundary. As a result, the mineralized layer with Carlin-style gold potential could be much closer to the surface at
Rimrock than at Hollister or at Midas. An updated evaluation of the northwest extension of the Carlin trend has been recently
completed, and the Rimrock project is interpreted to lie directly in the heart of this projection of the prolific gold-bearing
trend.
Overall, the new CSAMT data appear to
provide a much clearer basis for defining the presence, geometry, and depth extensions of the northerly-trending structures at
Rimrock that contain opalite-cinnabar (mercury sulfide) mineralization. The Company is continuing to further interpret the survey
data, with the help of Wright Geophysics. The final interpretations will be used to design new exploration drillholes at Rimrock.
The principal epithermal Midas style gold-silver
target was validated and even augmented by the new geologic mapping and sampling. Seventeen new samples were taken and analyzed,
to further investigate alteration and mineralization seen on the property. These new detailed sample data show anomalous gold
(to 13 ppb Au), silver (to 0.87 ppm Ag), antimony (to 5.5 ppm Sb), arsenic (to 39.5 ppm As), mercury (to 327 ppm Hg), selenium
(to 6.5 ppm Se), and thallium (to 3.45 ppm Tl), which could be associated with Midas and Carlin-style gold-silver deposits along
certain major fault structures on the property. These were surface spot rock chip samples taken well above the zone where anomalous
gold values would be expected to occur. See full table below.
The "Dilation" target was formulated
based upon new geologic mapping and geochemical sampling by the Company’s chief consulting geologist. The "Dilation"
was formed when the northeast-trending IC Fault "jogged" to the east, forming a dilated rhomboidal shaped block in the
jog area, which allowed hydrothermal fluids to more easily migrate upward and cause mercury-arsenic mineralization and alteration
at the ground surface. Two small-scale mercury mines are situated in the southwestern part of this "Dilation" fault
intersection block at Rimrock. The Dilation target at Rimrock shows highly altered, faulted, silicified felsic tuffaceous volcanic
rocks at the surface, overlain by post-mineral rhyolitic flow domes similar to those near the Hollister Mine. The altered rocks
locally show significant amounts of opaline silica and local mercury minerals, and local veining that crosscuts these rocks.
Newmont drilled several very shallow
rotary drillholes in the project area in 1984 searching for near-surface disseminated gold mineralization. The “top elevations”
of epithermal Midas-Hollister type gold-silver targets at Rimrock likely start at 150 to 300 metre depths below surface. The main
zone of ore grade gold-silver mineralization at Midas is at least 500 metres in height, below the “top elevations”. Local
small poddy bodies of mineralization may occur above this "top elevation" level as at Midas. Rimrock Gold's exploration
efforts are focused upon discovery of deeper Midas and Hollister Mine style gold-silver mineralization, 125 to 300 metres below
the surface. The elevations of ore zones at Hollister will be used to help guide exploration on the Rimrock property.
On May 3, 2013, Rimrock Gold entered
into a Purchase Agreement with Geologix to acquire an exploration epithermal bonanaza gold-silver property in Nevada known as
the Silver Cloud Property. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired from Geologix a one hundred percent
(100%) interest in and to: (i) certain properties that compress 552 unpatented mining claims totaling 11,210 acres (the Mining
Claims comprised of the Geologix Claims and the Pescio Claims), and (ii) a lease agreement dated June 1, 1999 between Geologix
USA as successor to Teck Resources Inc., and Carl Pescio and Janet Pescio in respect of those Mining Claims held by Pescio. The
Company is also required to pay $50,000 to the Pescio family annually. The lease term is to June 30, 2023 with option to extend
the lease term for three subsequent ten years terms.
In consideration for the Mining Claims
and the Pescio Lease, the Company shall issue to Geologix 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock comprised of 400,000
shares to Geologix and 100,000 shares Geologix is required to assign to Teck Resources Inc. In addition, if the Company
delineates more than two million ounces of gold in proven and probable reserves on the Mining Claims, then the Company will issue
a further 250,000 common shares of the Company to Geologix. Any mineral production from the Silver Cloud Property is subject to
net smelter return royalties of 2% due to Royal Gold Inc. and 3% to the underlying claim owners.
The 500,000 shares were issued on May
5, 2013. The acquired properties were recorded based on the fair value of the Company’s shares of common stock
issued, which was determined based on a recent private placement transaction adjusted for the fair value of warrants issued under
that transaction.
Currently, our VP of Exploration and our
advisory board are reviewing all of the data and reports received from Geologix Exploration on the Silver Cloud property. The
Company expects to have an exploration plan prepared in the coming months.
Rimrock Property
The Rimrock property is a Midas-style
gold-silver property situated in the Midas (“Northern Nevada Rifts”) gold trend and also directly along a domed up
portion of the Carlin Gold Trend, 8 Km northwest of Waterton Global’s Hollister gold-silver mine, and 16 Km east southeast
of Klondex Mines Ltd.'s Midas Mine property. The Rimrock property comprises 54 lode claims that cover approximately 1,080 acres.
The Rimrock property has three old mercury mines in the area, with one situated directly on top of the main gold ore target, which
lies at a major fault intersection. The Paleozoic rocks at Rimrock have been domally uplifted to be present at surface, immediately
west of the property boundary. Consequently, the rocks with Carlin-style gold potential could be much closer to the surface than
at Hollister or at Midas. Anomalously elevated Carlin-only trace element thallium was found in three samples at Rimrock. This
represents a geochemical leakage-upward anomaly of thallium and arsenic. The Company is now focused upon the discovery of relatively
shallower Midas style gold-silver deposits. Any mineral production from the Rimrock, West Silver Cloud, and Pony Spur Properties
is subject to Net Smelter Returns royalties of 3%.
In April 2013, announce that it has completed
an initial geological mapping and geochemical sampling program on the Rimrock gold-silver property in Elko County, Nevada. The
new geologic mapping has shown that the Rimrock gold property contains a large-scale, multiple-fault dilation zone gold-silver
target situated just north of the Hollister Mine.
The principal epithermal Midas style
gold-silver target was validated and even augmented by the new geologic mapping and sampling. Seventeen new samples were taken
and analyzed, to further investigate alteration and mineralization seen on the property. These new detailed sample data show anomalous
gold (to 13 ppb Au), silver (to 0.87 ppm Ag), antimony (to 5.5 ppm Sb), arsenic (to 39.5 ppm As), mercury (to 327 ppm Hg), selenium
(to 6.5 ppm Se), and thallium (to 3.45 ppm Tl), which could be associated with Midas and Carlin-style gold-silver deposits along
certain major fault structures on the property. These were surface spot rock chip samples taken well above the zone where anomalous
gold values would be expected to occur.
The "Dilation" target was formulated
based upon new geologic mapping and geochemical sampling by Rimrock's chief consulting geologist. The "Dilation" was
formed when the northeast-trending IC Fault "jogged" to the east, forming a dilated rhomboidal shaped block in the jog
area, which allowed hydrothermal fluids to more easily migrate upward and cause mercury-arsenic mineralization and alteration
at the ground surface. Two small-scale mercury mines are situated in the southwestern part of this "Dilation" fault
intersection block at Rimrock. The Dilation target at Rimrock shows highly altered, faulted, silicified felsic tuffaceous volcanic
rocks at the surface, overlain by post-mineral rhyolitic flow domes similar to those near the Hollister Mine. The altered rocks
locally show significant amounts of opaline silica and local mercury minerals, and local veining that crosscuts these rocks.
Newmont drilled several very shallow rotary
drillholes in the project area in 1984 searching for near-surface disseminated gold mineralization. The "top elevations"
of epithermal Midas-Hollister type gold-silver targets at Rimrock likely start at 150 to 300 metre depths below surface. The main
zone of ore grade gold-silver mineralization at Midas is at least 500 metres in height, below the "top elevations".
Local small poddy bodies of mineralization may occur above this "top elevation" level as at Midas. Rimrock Gold's exploration
efforts are focused upon discovery of deeper Midas and Hollister Mine style gold-silver mineralization, 125 to 300 metres below
the surface. The elevations of ore zones at Hollister will be used to help guide exploration on the Rimrock property.
In April 2013, the Company also announced
that its contractor Zonge Engineering has completed a new Controlled Source Audio Magnetotelluric ("CSAMT") geophysical
resistivity survey on the Company's Rimrock gold-silver project. CSAMT surveys have previously been very successful in delineating
lithological boundaries and major fault zones in the region, including at the Hollister mine.
Zonge Engineering completed a 4-line survey
covering 10.9 line Km east-west across the project property, spaced 250 to 400 meters apart, encompassing numerous geological
targets previously identified by the Company's technical team. The Company is presently interpreting the data with the help of
Wright Geophysics. The final interpretations will be used to help select new exploration drilling targets at Rimrock.
Preliminary analysis of the raw CSAMT
data appears to provide an excellent basis for defining and interpreting potentially mineralized structures at Rimrock. Some of
these structural zones appear to be much wider than previously thought, including the previously identified "Dilation"
Midas-style gold-silver target. The CSAMT survey also appears to have better defined the lithological boundary between the older
Paleozoic basement rocks and the overlying volcanic rocks present at the surface, along with the geometry of faulting in the property
area.
The Paleozoic rocks at Rimrock have been
domally uplifted to the surface, immediately west of the property boundary, with Vinini Formation sedimentary rocks present. As
a result, the mineralized layer with Carlin-style gold potential could be much closer to the surface than at Hollister or at Midas.
Fault feeders for gold are critical in defining where both Midas- and Carlin-style gold mineralized bodies lie, and CSAMT has
been proven as an excellent, cost-effective technique to identify fault feeders in the region. An updated evaluation of the northwest
extension of the Carlin trend has just been completed, and the Rimrock property is interpreted to lie directly in the heart of
this projection of the prolific gold-bearing trend.
In May 2013, the Company announced that
its geophysics consultant Wright Geophysics has provided the Company with an initial interpretation of the recently completed
Controlled Source Audio Magnetotelluric ("CSAMT") geophysical resistivity survey on the Company's wholly-owned Rimrock
gold-silver property in Elko County, Nevada. The Rimrock property is strategically located in a highly mineralized epithermal
gold-silver district, 7 Km northwest of Rodeo Creek's Hollister mine, and 16 Km southeast of Klondex's Midas mine.
The survey covered 10.9 line Km east-west
across the property, with four survey lines spaced 250 to 400 meters apart, encompassing all of the previously identified mineralization
targets on the property. The CSAMT data were acquired using a 50 meter electric-field receiver dipole, and one CSAMT transmitter
of a grounded dipole configuration. Initial interpretations of the CSAMT survey validate the mineralization model developed by
the Company's technical team, and include the following observations:
|
● |
The previously identified "Dilation" gold-silver
target on surface along the major "IC Fault Zone" has been verified at depth by the survey. |
|
● |
The siliceous mineralization associated with the
"Dilation" target has been interpreted to be constrained by steeply dipping near-vertical fault zones. |
|
● |
These fault zones are interpreted to be up to 150
meters in width, representing one of the widest gold-silver targets in the entire Midas-Hollister region, potentially hosting
near-surface bulk-mineable gold mineralization. |
|
● |
The location of older Paleozoic basement rocks has
been identified to be between 275 and 375 meters below surface, confirming the mineralization model developed by Company geologists. |
The Paleozoic basement is likely part
of the siliceous "Upper Plate" Vinini Formation package that lies beneath surface volcanic rocks, and above the Roberts
Mountain Thrust fault package that separates the Vinini from "Lower Plate" sedimentary rocks. This "Lower Plate"
sedimentary unit is known to host the large Carlin-style gold deposits situated further south at the Goldstrike-BlueStar-Carlin
mine complex. The Paleozoic rocks at Rimrock are believed to have been domally uplifted to the surface, immediately west of the
property boundary. As a result, the mineralized layer with Carlin-style gold potential could be much closer to the surface at
Rimrock than at Hollister or at Midas. An updated evaluation of the northwest extension of the Carlin trend has been recently
completed, and the Rimrock project is interpreted to lie directly in the heart of this projection of the prolific gold-bearing
trend.
Overall, the new CSAMT data appear to
provide a much clearer basis for defining the presence, geometry, and depth extensions of the northerly-trending structures at
Rimrock that contain opalite-cinnabar (mercury sulfide) mineralization. The Company is continuing to further interpret the survey
data, with the help of Wright Geophysics. The final interpretations will be used to design new exploration drillholes at Rimrock.
In July 2013, the Company announced that
it has identified and selected five new drill sites for drilling. The new drill sites were defined through interpretation of geological,
geochemical, and geophysical data collected on the project by various former property owners and option-holders over the past
35 years. The Company's management team has identified several mineralization targets along the IC Fault system, including the
large Dilation Zone located between two well-defined faults representing a 100 meter wide drill target area. The Company plans
to drill-test the area of convergence of these two faults at the northern and southern ends of the Dilation Zone. The Rimrock
project has never been drill-tested specifically for the Midas-style gold-silver mineralization envisioned by the Company's management.
Rock samples from a recently completed surface sampling program at the project show anomalous values of several indicator metals
typically associated with Midas-Hollister gold deposits, including arsenic and selenium.
In conclusion the Company's comprehensive
database for the Rimrock project provides a much clearer basis for defining the presence, geometry, and depth extensions of north-south
trending structures that contain opalite-cinnabar (mercury sulfide) mineralization. The Company is planning to drill these initial
targets, upon posting the requisite reclamation bond and receiving the drill-permit from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
These gold-silver targets at the Rimrock
property have never been drill tested at depth for Midas-Hollister style gold-silver mineralization, nor for Carlin-style gold
mineralization. The Company expects that the Rimrock property offers potential to hold a large, high-grade, underground mineable
Midas-Hollister-type Low Sulfidation gold-silver deposit.

West Silver Cloud
The West Silver Cloud property is a Midas-style
gold-silver property situated 12 Km southwest of Waterton Global’s Hollister gold-silver mine, and 22 Km southeast of Klondex
Mines Ltd.'s Midas Mine property. The nearby Silver Cloud Mine is an old, open-pit mercury mine situated on top of Placer Dome’s
main gold-silver ore target, which carries high-grade, drill-indicated gold mineralization. The West Silver Cloud property comprises
38 lode claims that cover approximately 760 acres. West Silver Cloud has never been tested by drilling, and we believe offers
good potential to hold a large, high-grade, underground-mineable Midas-Hollister-type Low Sulfidation gold-silver deposit.
Silver Cloud
The Silver Cloud Property consists of
552 Mining Claims totaling 11,210 acres situated 55 Km northeast of the mining center of Battle Mountain, and 80 Km west-northwest
of Elko city, a regional mining hub. The Silver Cloud Property lies immediately to the southwest of Waterton Global’s epithermal
bonanza gold-silver Hollister Mine, and 3.8 Km southwest of the Hollister Mine open pit. The Silver Cloud Property also lies 16
Km southeast of Klondex's Midas Mine, which is currently producing gold and silver from high-grade volcanic epithermal veins.
The Company controls an additional 38 claims along the west side of the Silver Cloud Property, called the West Silver Cloud property.
Any mineral production from the Silver
Cloud Property is subject to net smelter return royalties of 2% due to Royal Gold Inc. and 3% to the underlying claim owners.
The Company is also required to pay $50,000 to the Pescio family annually. The lease term is to June 30, 2023 with option to extend
the lease term for three subsequent ten years terms.
As a result of this latest acquisition,
the Company's land package in the region has increased by 11,000 acres, making it one of the largest landholders among junior
exploration companies operating in Nevada with over 13,000 acres held. The Company has inherited a comprehensive database reflecting
previous exploration campaigns conducted on the Silver Cloud Property by Placer Amex, Newmont, Placer Dome, Teck Resources and
Geologix. This database includes:
|
● |
Drilling information including drill hole locations,
drill core logs, cross-sections, long-sections, level plans, down hole survey information, QA/QC information and assay results |
|
● |
Regional and local geological information including
lithological mapping, structural interpretations, alteration mapping, large-scale formational modeling and detailed mineralization
modeling |
|
● |
Geochemical information including surface rock chip
sampling, multivariate soil sampling and biogeochemical sampling surveys |
|
● |
Geophysical information including Airborne Magnetics
(AeroMag), Controlled Source Audio Magnetotelluric (CSAMT), E Scan, and Ground Gravity surveys |
|
● |
Base maps including claim maps, topographic maps
and satellite images |
Modern exploration on the Silver Cloud
Property was conducted in the 1980's, when Placer Amex drilled 14 shallow holes in search of mercury. That campaign's best gold
hit was a 3.05 meter intercept grading 0.197 g/t Au. In 1989, Newmont optioned the property and conducted additional shallow drilling
of 23 holes in different parts of this large property through 1994, including in the Quiver Mine area in the northwest part of
the property. Highlights from these Newmont drill programs included a 1.52 meter intercept grading 3.1 g/t Au at shallow depths.
Teck Cominco optioned the property and
conducted 4,023 m of drilling in 10 holes between 1999 and 2001. Teck discovered high-grade gold mineralization at the historic
mercury-producing Silver Cloud Mine in reverse-circulation hole SCT-6 that encountered three intervals of good grade gold mineralization
totaling 27.4 meters of down-hole core length between 310.9m and 452.6m. Those intervals included a 1.52 meter intercept grading
145 g/t Au at a depth of 318m in sheared volcanics.
Placer Dome optioned the property in 2002
and subsequently drilled 3,832 meters in 11 rotary and core holes in the property area. Placer Dome's best drill intercept was
from a new discovery in the Egg Hill target area, situated 1400 meters west of the Silver Cloud Mine and close to the West Silver
Cloud property. The intercept graded 5.53 g/t Au over a 12.2 meter interval in a structure at the contact between two lithological
units – the rhyolite tuff and the intrusive rhyolite porphyry.
Geologix acquired control of the property
in 2003, and subsequently drilled 2 deep holes on the property in 2005. These holes were drilled on the northwest side of the
Silver Cloud Mine away from the high-grade Teck drill holes and targeting two inferred fault structural zones. Geologix encountered
numerous zones of breccia and silica mineralization in these two holes over significantly wide intervals.
The working Midas-style gold target model
used by the Company's technical team interprets the "top elevations" of epithermal Midas-Hollister type gold-silver
targets at Silver Cloud to start at 150 to 300 meter depths below surface. The main zone of ore grade gold-silver mineralization
at Midas extends for at least 500 meters vertically, below the "top elevations". Local "pod-like" bodies of
gold mineralization may occur above this "top elevation" level, as at Midas and in the larger open pit at Hollister.
The Company's exploration efforts are focused upon discovery of Midas and Hollister style gold-silver mineralization, 125 to 300
metres below the surface.
The main gold-silver targets at the Silver
Cloud Property are Midas-Hollister style volcanic epithermal low-sulfidation vein and disseminated gold deposits, which appear
to be situated along or near fault zones, near or beneath siliceous "sinter" hot spring deposits. These siliceous sinters
occur on and close to the paleo ground surfaces along the Midas - Silver Cloud trend, which is part of the "Northern Nevada
Rifts" volcanic province. Mercury occurrences are present locally in and near these siliceous sinters, and are interpreted
to be locally indicative of gold mineralization at further depth, as at Hollister. At least three gold target areas have been
discovered by rock chip sampling and drilling to date on the Silver Cloud Property: 1) the "Mine" target at the Silver
Cloud Mine discovered by Teck, where a drill hole carried a 1.5 meter intercept grading 157 g/t Au at a depth of 318 meters below
surface, 2) the "Egg Hill" target area initially discovered by Placer Dome and further explored by Geologix, and 3)
the Quiver target area explored by Newmont and Geologix. Several exploration holes were drilled at Egg Hill, including a significant
gold discovery hole yielding 12.2 metres of 5.53 g/t Au at a depth of 208 metres below surface, situated at the contact with a
rhyolitic intrusive.
Geologix drilled two core holes in the
Mine target area, away from the earlier Teck and Placer Dome drillholes. These holes encountered highly anomalous gold and silver
in sulfide-rich breccias and low-temperature banded Midas-style quartz veins. To date, less than 10% of the large Silver Cloud
Property has been explored. No drilling work has yet been conducted on the Company's adjoining West Silver Cloud claims area.
The Silver Cloud Property also lies directly
astride the prolific Carlin Trend break that boasts numerous giant world-class sediment-hosted gold deposits. Excitingly, the
Paleozoic rocks that host numerous gold deposits in the region, are present at the surface at the Hollister Mine and near the
Company's Rimrock property, north of Silver Cloud. Consequently, Silver Cloud may have Carlin-style gold potential, albeit at
fairly great depths. The CSAMT data is being evaluated to further investigate this Carlin-style gold potential. Great Basin Gold
drilled one deep hole at Hollister and penetrated Devonian Rodeo Creek unit Paleozoic rocks, but never reached the Carlin-host
Popovich-equivalent limestone rock section, which lies at still greater depths.
AngloGold drilled a deep hole at the Hatter
prospect, east of the Hollister open pit, and penetrated lower Paleozoic rocks and a granitic intrusive of possible Mesozoic
age. Rodeo Creek Gold discovered a new granitic intrusive body (possibly Eocene in age) situated between the Hatter granitic stock
and the Hollister open pit, and found gold mineralization in this area, away from their main east-west trending gold-silver vein
systems. Thus, the Silver Cloud area may have potential for gold deposits associated with granitic stocks and nearby faults, at
depth. The gravity and CSAMT data will be used to further evaluate this possibility. For now, the Company is focused on the discovery
of relatively shallow Midas style gold-silver deposits.
In September 2013, the Company announced
that it has received the Silver Cloud project drill core from Geologix Explorations. More than $2.4 million in exploration
expenditures have been made on Silver Cloud since 2003. Prior to that, Placer Amex, Newmont, Teck, and Placer Dome conducted significant
exploration on the Silver Cloud Property as well.
The Company will study the Silver Cloud
drill core in an effort to develop new drill targets for potential gold-silver development at Silver Cloud. Geologix' latest two
drillholes at Silver Cloud encountered several zones of gold mineralization, and previous drilling by Placer Dome and Teck encountered
local zones of very high-grade gold mineralization.
After an initial study of the Company's
new database including previous exploration campaigns conducted on the Silver Cloud Property, has led to the discovery of a fourth,
possibly significant new target extension of one of the southernmost vein systems occurring directly on the Hollister Mine property.
This is located in the northeast corner of the Silver Cloud property. The Company now will conduct further research on this target
zone in advance of possible drilling in 2015.
The main gold-silver targets at the Silver
Cloud Property are Midas-Hollister style volcanic epithermal low-sulfidation vein and disseminated gold deposits, which appear
to be situated along or near fault zones. Mercury occurrences are present locally in and near these siliceous sinters, and are
interpreted to be locally indicative of gold mineralization at further depth as at Hollister. At least four gold target areas
have been discovered by rock chip sampling, mapping and drilling to date on the Silver Cloud Property: 1) the "Mine"
target at the Silver Cloud Mine discovered by Teck, where a drilled hole carried a 1.5 meter (5 feet) intercept grading 157 g/t
Au at a depth of 318 meters below surface, 2) the "Egg Hill" target area initially discovered by Placer Dome and further
explored by Geologix, where up to 12.2 metres of 5.53 g/t Au, 3) the Quiver target area explored by Newmont, and 4) the newly
discovered Hollister South target mentioned above.
The Silver Cloud Property also lies directly
astride the prolific Carlin Trend break that boasts numerous giant world-class sediment-hosted gold deposits. This is a highly
favorable environment for Carlin-style gold deposits found at the Gold Acres and Getchell mines owned by Barrick Gold Corp. Silver
Cloud may have Carlin-style gold potential at depth.
In September 2014, the Company announced
that it has begun a new program to geologically re-log, re-assay, and reinterpret the drill core and 5 foot chip samples from
reverse circulation drilling conducted by certain previous lessees on its high-grade Silver Cloud gold-silver property (“Silver
Cloud”) in Elko County, Nevada. Rimrock Gold will be re-logging and assaying certain high-grade gold-silver zones drilled
at Silver Cloud by Teck, Placer Dome, and Geologix Explorations.
Rimrock Gold's Vice President of Exploration,
who is a certified professional geologist and “qualified person” for purposes of Canada’s National Instrument
43-101 Standards Disclosure for Mineral Properties, will study and re-assay portions of the newly-acquired Silver Cloud drill
core in an effort to develop new drill targets for potential gold-silver development at Silver Cloud. Previous drilling by Placer
Dome and Teck encountered two local zones of very high-grade gold mineralization known as the large "Silver Cloud Mine"
target of Teck, and the "West Ridge" target of Placer Dome. There are four or more other gold-silver target areas on
the property; the "Central Core", "Northeast Extension", "Quiver", and "West Silver Cloud."
Teck Explorations discovered the Silver
Cloud Mine target in angled drillhole SCT-5, which encountered a 1.5 meter (5 feet) interval assaying 157 grams per tonne gold
("g/t Au") at a depth of 318 meters below surface. Placer Dome tried to twin this drillhole in hole SCP-11c, and found
an interval near the SCT-5 intercept that assayed 279 g/t silver and 760 ppm tungsten, a drill assay very similar to that found
at Rimrock Gold's Ivanhoe Creek property situated along trend north of and adjacent to the Hollister Mine. These samples will
be studied in detail and re-assayed in shorter intervals. The goal is to determine how to re-drill this high-grade target effectively
in order to define the geology and possible high-grade gold-silver mineralization. The Silver Cloud Mine target area is quite
large being at least 2,000 meters in length.
The other highest priority target is West
Ridge, which was initially discovered in highly gold mineralized drillhole SCP-15 by Placer Dome that locally assayed gold mineralization
between 184.5 through 231.7 meters, a core length of 47.2 meters (true width not yet known). The highest grade assay interval
in SCP-15 was 12.2 metres of 5.53 g/t Au at a core depth starting at 208.8 meters. The West Ridge gold-silver mineralization lies
along a cymoid loop fault system that appears to be more than 1,900 meters in length. Newmont geologists at Midas defined the
methodology for testing these cymoid loop controlled gold systems. Rimrock will use and expand these procedures to evaluate and
test the gold systems at Silver Cloud in order to define and prioritize new drilling on the Silver Cloud property.
The third target to be analyzed in Rimrock
Gold's new work program is the Central Core target area where Geologix drilled two extended, lower angle drillholes in 2005 totaling
1,603 meters of core length across the Central Core target area at Silver Cloud. These two drillholes encountered several zones
of gold mineralization in a broad brush sweep across the target area. Rimrock Gold has the core for these drillholes and will
re-log this core and re-assay any intervals of geological interest.
Newmont and Placer Amex also drilled a
number of holes into the large Quiver target region in the northwestern portion of the Silver Cloud property. Newmont reportedly
encountered significant local zones of sulfide mineralization at depth, and reported gold assay values in excess of 1.5 grams
per tonne gold. Rimrock Gold has the Newmont assay data but does not at this time have any of these drill samples to re-log or
old sample pulps to re-analyze.
This initial program of geological re-interpretation
of past work at Silver Cloud will be continued until multiple detailed gold-silver drilling targets have been defined on the property.
The company believes that the Silver Cloud property is large enough and holds sufficient high-grade gold-silver mineralization
to hold a mine-size gold-silver system within its boundaries. Local experts with detailed experience on the property will be utilized
to gain a scientifically accurate interpretation of the property as this work progresses.
Ivanhoe Creek
During October 2013, the Company
acquired the advanced-stage Ivanhoe Creek, Nevada, epithermal bonanza gold-silver property from RMIC Gold, a private
Nevada company controlled by Richard R. Redfern. Mr. Redfern is a director of the Company and this transaction is a non-arms length
transaction. The Company issued 150,000 shares of the Company’s common shares to RMIC Gold, and will pay one percent (1%)
Net Smelter Returns royalties to RMIC Gold for 100% interest in the Ivanhoe Creek property. The Ivanhoe Creek property consists
of 22 unpatented lode mining claims (440 acres) situated in north-central Nevada on lands administered by the U.S. Bureau of Land
Management. The property area is uninhabited and suitable for construction of large-scale mine facilities, if warranted. The property
is situated 63 Km northeast of the mining center of Battle Mountain, and 75 Km west-northwest of the mining hub city Elko. Rimrock
Gold controls 22 claims along the north side of the Hollister property. The property lies at the former site of a small mercury
mine/ prospect from which an unknown but small quantity of flasks of mercury were produced, and south of Rimrock Gold’s
Rimrock property.
The Ivanhoe Creek property lies immediately
adjacent to the north of the epithermal bonanza gold-silver Hollister Mine property that was recently purchased by Waterton Global
Resources. Ivanhoe Creek also lies 17 Km southeast of Klondex Mines Ltd.'s Midas Mine, which is currently producing gold and silver
from high-grade volcanic epithermal gold-silver veins.
Gold exploration drilling has been conducted
near and under certain of these mercury prospects. Most recently, Kent Exploration Ltd drilled 5 shallow exploration core drillholes
in 2007 for gold and silver, totaling 791.3 meters. Drilling to date at Ivanhoe Creek has discovered at least two significant
gold-silver target areas. These are associated with northerly-trending uplifted fault-bounded blocks of rocks (“horsts”),
which extend northward into the Rimrock property, and south into the Hollister property. These horsts were delineated and verified
by CSAMT geological surveys in 2006. Mercury-bearing silica deposits (“sinter”) locally are associated with gold in
Nevada, and mercuric sinters are found at Ivanhoe Creek alongside and above these horsts. Kent’s shallow drilling tested
some of these sinter targets.
The five exploration holes drilled at
Ivanhoe Creek are believed to have been too shallow to adequately test for the Midas-style gold-silver targets envisioned by the
Company. The drillholes at Ivanhoe Creek found: 1) Anomalous assay values of gold in each hole drilled, and 2) Anomalous silver
values in each hole, including up to an assay value of 7.64 ounces per ton silver in hole 07-10 between 426-436 feet (core length;
true width not known). This latter silver-rich intercept also contained high values of 1130 ppm tungsten, more than 100 ppm mercury,
and 0.02 ppm gold. Local high geochemical analysis values of arsenic, antimony, and selenium suggest that a Midas-style mineral
system was imposed on these rocks altered and metamorphosed earlier by contact metamorphism of nearby granitic plutons
The main gold-silver targets at Ivanhoe
Creek are Midas-Hollister style volcanic epithermal low-sulfidation vein and disseminated gold deposits, which appear to be situated
along or near fault zones, beneath siliceous silica “sinter” hot spring deposits that occur on the paleo ground surface
along the Midas – Silver Cloud trend, which is part of the “Northern Nevada Rifts” volcanic province. Mercury
occurrences are present locally in and near these surficial siliceous sinter deposits, perhaps locally indicative of gold deposits
at further depth, as at Hollister. The “top elevations” of epithermal Midas-Hollister type gold-silver targets typically
start at 150 to 300 meter depths below surface. The main zone of ore grade gold-silver mineralization at Midas is at least 500
metres in height, below the “top elevations”. Local small poddy bodies of high-grade gold mineralization may occur
above this “top elevation” level as at Midas. Rimrock Gold’s exploration efforts are focused upon discovery
of deeper Midas and Hollister Mine style gold-silver mineralization at Ivanhoe Creek, but the possibility of finding near-surface
open pittable gold-silver mineralization is still present due to the minimal level of exploration of Ivanhoe Creek. The elevations
of the main ore zones at Hollister are at elevations of 4900 to 5400 feet ASL. This will be used to help guide exploration on
the Ivanhoe Creek and Rimrock properties.
The Ivanhoe Creek property also lies directly
astride the prolific Carlin Trend break that boasts numerous giant world-class sediment-hosted gold deposits. Excitingly, the
Paleozoic rocks at Ivanhoe Creek are present at surface just north of the property boundary, and also were encountered in Kent’s
drillholes. Consequently, the Ivanhoe Creek property does have Carlin-style gold potential, albeit perhaps at fair depths. Great
Basin Gold drilled one deep hole in the southeastern part of their property at Hollister and penetrated Devonian Rodeo Creek unit
Paleozoic rocks. They never reached the Carlin-host Popovich-equivalent limestone rock section, which lies at still greater depths
at this particular locality. The Rimrock – Ivanhoe Creek area is interpreted as being a structurally uplifted dome, which
could have brought Carlin deposit age rocks closer to the surface. The Company is now focused upon the discovery of relatively
shallow Midas style gold-silver deposits.
Pony Spur
The Pony Spur property is a dual, Carlin-style
sediment-hosted and Low Sulfidation Breccia Pipe Style gold prospect in the southern part of the prolific Carlin-Rain Gold Trend,
and is situated 2.25 Km northwest of the adjoining Pony Creek gold deposit controlled by Allied Nevada Gold, owners of the Hycroft
gold mine in northwestern Nevada. The Pony Spur project is along Jerritt and Carlin Trends, near the Rain gold deposit cluster
, which includes the Rain, Tess, and Emigrant mines (Newmont / Premier Gold), the high-grade Saddle gold deposit (presently being
drilled by Premier Gold Mines), Railroad-Bullion (presently being drilled by Gold Standard Ventures), and other peripheral gold
deposits. Sage Gold Inc. drilled one core hole on the Pony Spur property in 2007, discovering gold mineralization.
The property comprises 7 lode mining
claims of approximately 140 acres, which have been filed with the BLM. The Pony Spur property area sits along a WNW trending,
Rain Fault-parallel fault system of undetermined width that intersects the Pony Creek gold deposit area just east of our property
boundary. Two types of strong surface gold mineralization and alteration are present at the Pony Spur gold property. A low-sulfidation
silica-rich, breccia pipe with gold mineralization crops out at the surface of Pony Spur, similar to mineralization present in
Allied Nevada's Pony Creek gold deposit, and the drill hole by Sage Gold intersected gold mineralization in this pipe. Carlin
style, thallium-gold rich geochemical rock anomalies also are present at the surface at Pony Spur, possibly indicative of Rain-Meikle
type fault-controlled Carlin-style sediment-hosted gold mineralization at depth.
Spin-Out PBTD Segment
On May 11, 2012, the Company entered into a
Stock Purchase Agreement (with (i) Pay By The Day; and (ii) Jordan Starkman, Chief Executive Officer and the director of the Company
and President of the Subsidiary (“Starkman”), pursuant to which, Starkman acquired all of the issued and outstanding
common shares of Pay By The Day, and in exchange, Starkman assumed and agreed to pay, perform and discharge any and a all the
liabilities and obligations of Pay By The Day (the “Spin-out”). The Company has divested its interest and no
longer operates and own as a wholly owned subsidiary Pay By The Day Company Inc.
Consulting Agreement
On March 1, 2013, the Company signed a
one year consulting agreement with a United States company, under common control, and agreed to pay the Company 3,500,000 shares
of common stock for market expansion and business consulting.
Pursuant to the Agreement signed between
the Company and Uptick Capital LLC (related party by virtue of common directorship), both the parties agreed to make the following
changes to the agreement dated March 1, 2013.
As of March 30, 2014 the agreement
was deferred until January 1, 2015 on which date the Company was to make a one-time lump sum payment to Uptick Capital
of 2.5 million shares for consulting services and thereafter beginning February 1, 2015 Renewal Payments from the agreement
were to be changed to 750,000 shares per quarter from 250,000 per month paid in advance of the said period.
The agreement was terminated in February 2015 and a final block of 4 million shares were issued in March
2015.
Results of Operations for the six months
ended February 28, 2015 compared to the six months ended February 28, 2014
Continuing Operations
We currently have no known mineral reserves
and have not generated any revenue from our mining activities.
For the six months ended February 28,
2015, our operating expenses and net loss from operations were $493,183
Operating expenses from continuing operations
for the six months ended February 28, 2015 were $493,183 compared to $347,916 for the six months ended February 28, 2014.
The increase of $145,267 in operating expenses was primarily attributed to shares issued for consulting charges amounting to $280,000,
issued in February 2015 and 'Day one excess value interest expense' of $61,436 on new convertible notes issued in October and
December 2014, partially offset by decrease in professional fees by $199,756 in connection with legal, accounting, consulting,
and auditing services related to quarterly and audit filings.
Net loss from continuing operations for
the six months ended February 28 2015 was $493,183 as compared to $ 347,916 net loss for the six months ended February 28,
2014. The reason for the decrease in operating losses is the same as explained in operating expenses.
During the six months ended February 28,
2015 and February 28, 2014, we had no provision for income taxes due to the net operating losses incurred.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of February 28, 2015 we had a cash
balance of $1,586 and a working capital deficit of $586,800.
The Company raised $75,500 from the issuance
of convertible notes during six months ended February 28, 2015. The proceeds are being used to fund operations such as legal and
audit fees, and investing activities of the Company as discussed above in our Plan of Operations.
In addition to the $75,500, the Company
is actively seeking financing in the amount of $1,000,000 to fully execute the next phase of the Company’s exploration campaign,
and the Company’s detailed plan for drilling the Rimrock Property plus any future acquisitions. In addition, the Company
is preparing a detailed exploration plan to advance the Silver Cloud property.
The Nevada claims are located on Federal
land administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). In order for the Company to maintain and hold its Nevada claims the
Company is required to pay the BLM fees totaling $105,000 per year due every August 31. In addition, the Company is required to
pay Elko County fees totaling $7,100 per year due every October 31.
Any capital raised will be through either
a private placement or a convertible debenture and will result in the issuance of common shares from the Company’s authorized
capital. The Company is optimistic that the financing will be secured and our going concern risk will be removed.
We anticipate that our fixed costs made
up of legal & accounting and general & administrative expenses for the next twelve months will total approximately $45,000. Legal
and accounting expenses of $35,000 represents the minimum funds needed to sustain operations. The $45,000 will be financed
through the Company’s cash on hand, additional financing, and if needed, advances from our director, Jordan Starkman. Currently
there is no firm loan commitment in place between the Company and Jordan Starkman.
We believe we can satisfy our cash requirements
for the next twelve months with our cash balances and if needed an additional loan from our officer and director, Jordan Starkman.
However, completion of our plan of operations is subject to attaining adequate revenue and adequate financing. We cannot assure
investors that adequate revenues will be generated from our mining properties. In the absence of our projected revenues, we may
be unable to proceed with our plan of operations. Even without adequate revenues within the next twelve months, we still anticipate
being able to continue with our present activities, but we may require financing to achieve our growth and exploration goals.
We do not anticipate the purchase or sale
of any significant equipment. We also do not expect any significant additions to the number of employees, unless financing is
raised. The foregoing represents our best estimate of our cash needs based on current planning and business conditions. The exact
allocation, purposes and timing of any monies raised in subsequent private financings may vary significantly depending upon the
exact amount of funds raised and required, and our progress with the execution of our business plan.
In the event we are not successful in
reaching our initial revenue targets or operational goals, additional funds may be required, and we may not be able to proceed
with our business plan for the development and exploration of our mining targets. Should this occur, we would likely seek additional
financing to support the continued operation of our business. We anticipate that depending on market conditions and our plan of
operations, we may incur operating losses in the foreseeable future. Therefore, our auditors have raised substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. We will need approximately $1,000,000 to aggressively pursue and implement
our business plan’s exploration campaign.

Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of disclosure controls and
procedures
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of the Company’s
management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the effectiveness of the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the
period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial
officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of February 28, 2015 to ensure
that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated
to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
It should be noted that any system of
controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of
the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood
of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design
will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in internal controls
No change in our system of internal control
over financial reporting occurred during the six months ended February 28, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
