STAR GOLD CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
JANUARY 31, 2023

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Star Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was initially incorporated as Elan Development, Inc., in the State of Nevada on December 8, 2006. The Company was originally organized to explore mineral properties in British Columbia, Canada but the Company is currently focusing on gold, silver and other base metal-bearing properties in Nevada.

 

The Company’s core business consists of assembling and/or acquiring land packages and mining claims the Company believes have potential mining reserves, and expending capital to explore these claims by drilling, and performing geophysical work or other exploration work deemed necessary. The business is a high-risk business as there is no guarantee that the Company’s exploration work will ultimately discover or produce any economically viable minerals.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. The condensed balance sheet at April 30, 2022 was derived from audited annual financial statements but does not contain all of the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements. Operating results for the three- and nine-month period ended January 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2023.

 

These unaudited condensed interim financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). These unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 2022.

 

The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to U.S. GAAP and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception. As of January 31, 2023, the Company has limited financial resources with which to achieve the objectives and obtain profitability and positive cash flows. The lack of sufficient working capital and continuing losses raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying condensed balance sheet as of January 31, 2023, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $12,449,819. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. Achievement of the Company’s objectives will depend on the ability to obtain additional financing, to locate profitable mining properties and generate revenue from current and planned business operations, and control costs. The Company plans to fund its future operations by joint venturing or obtaining additional financing from investors and/or lenders.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2023 financial statements in order to conform to the 2022 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net loss, total assets or accumulated deficit as previously reported.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting Standards Updates Adopted

 

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12 Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The update is to address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years and with early adoption permitted. Early adoption of this update had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

STAR GOLD CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
JANUARY 31, 2023

 

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

 

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is computed as net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options and warrants.

 

The outstanding securities on January 31, 2023 and 2022 that could have a dilutive effect are as follows:

 

 

   January 31, 2023   January 31, 2022 
Stock options   5,035,000    5,035,000 
Convertible promissory notes, related parties   3,000,000    - 
Warrants   2,000,000    2,000,000 
Total Possible Dilution   10,035,000    7,035,000 

 

For the three- and nine- months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the effect of the Company’s outstanding stock options, convertible promissory notes, related parties and warrants would have been anti-dilutive and so are excluded in the calculation of diluted EPS.

 

NOTE 4 –MINING INTEREST

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s equipment and mining interest on January 31, 2023 and April 30, 2022.

NOTE 8 – STOCK OPTIONS

 

Options issued for mining interest

 

In consideration for its mining interest (see Note 4), the Company was obligated to issue stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock based on “fair market price” which for financial statement purposes is considered to be the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the issue dates. Those costs were capitalized as mining interest.

 

Options outstanding for mining interest totaled 935,000 at January 31, 2023 and April 30, 2022 and are fully vested. As of January 31, 2023, the remaining weighted average term of the option grants for mining interest was 1.58 years. As of January 31, 2023, the weighted average exercise price of the option grants for mining interest was $0.04 per share.

 

Options issued under the 2011 Stock Option/Restricted Stock Plan

 

The Company established the 2011 Stock Option/Restricted Stock Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and provides for the grant of stock options to eligible individual including directors, executive officers and advisors that have furnished bona fide services to the Company not related to the sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction.

 

On April 30, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the grant of 2,700,000 options to purchase shares of common stock of the Company to various directors and officers. The options have an exercise price of $0.06 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and vest immediately. The expiration date of the options is April 30, 2026.

 

No options were issued, exercised, expired or forfeited under the Stock Option Plan during the three- and nine- months ended January 31, 2023 or 2022.

 

The total value of stock option awards is expensed ratably over the vesting period of the employees receiving the awards. As of January 31, 2023 and April 30, 2022, respectively, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based options and awards.

Corporate Background

 

The Company was originally incorporated on December 8, 2006, under the laws of the State of Nevada as Elan Development, Inc. On April 25, 2008, the name of the Company was changed to Star Gold Corp. Star Gold Corp. is a pre-development stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of precious metal deposit properties and advancing them toward production. The Company is engaged in the business of exploring, evaluating and acquiring mineral prospects with the potential for economic deposits of precious and base metals.

 

Star Gold Corp. originally leased with an option to acquire certain unpatented mining claims located in the State of Nevada which in part make up what we refer to as the “Longstreet Property” or the “Longstreet Project.” The Longstreet Property in its entirety comprises 142 mineral claims: 75 original optioned claims, of which 70 are unpatented staked claims and five claims leased from local ranchers, pursuant to the “Clifford Lease”; as well as 50 claims subsequently staked by Star Gold. The Longstreet Property covers a total area of approximately 2,500 acres (1,012 ha). The Longstreet Project is at an intermediate stage of exploration.

 

The Company has no patents, licenses, franchises or concessions which are considered by the Company to be of importance. The business is not of a seasonal nature. Because minerals are traded in the open market, the Company has little to no control over the competitive conditions in the industry.

 

Overview of Mineral Exploration and Current Operations

 

Star Gold Corp. is a pre-development stage mineral company with no producing mines. Mineral exploration is essentially a research activity that does not produce a product. The Company acquires properties which it believes have potential to host economic concentrations of minerals, particularly gold and silver. These acquisitions have and may take the form of unpatented mining claims on federal land, or leasing claims, or private property owned by others. An unpatented mining claim is an interest, that can be acquired, in the mineral rights on open lands of the federally owned public domain. Claims are staked in accordance with the Mining Law of 1872, recorded with the federal government pursuant to laws and regulations established by the Bureau of Land Management. The Company intends to remain in the business of exploring for mining properties that have the potential to produce gold, silver, base metals and other commodities.

 

The Company will perform basic geological work to identify specific drill targets on the properties, and then collect subsurface samples by drilling to confirm the presence of mineralization (the presence of economic minerals in a specific area or geological formation). The Company may enter joint venture agreements with other companies to fund further exploration and/or development work. It is the Company’s plan to focus on assembling a high-quality group of mid-stage mineral (primarily gold and silver) exploration prospects, using the experience and contacts of the management group. By such prospects, the Company means properties that have been previously identified by third parties, (including prior owners and/or exploration companies), as mineral prospects with potential for economic mineralization. Often these properties have been sampled, mapped and sometimes drilled, usually with indefinite results. Accordingly, such acquired projects will have either prior exploration history or will have strong similarity to a recognized geologic ore deposit model. Geographic emphasis will be placed on the western United States.

 

The geologic potential and ore deposit models have been defined and specific drill targets identified on the Longstreet Property. The Company’s property evaluation process involves using basic geologic fieldwork to perform an initial evaluation of a property. If the evaluation is positive, the Company seeks to acquire, either by staking unpatented mining claims on open public domain, or by leasing the property from the owner of private property or the owner of unpatented claims. Once acquired, the Company then typically makes a more detailed evaluation of the property. This detailed evaluation involves expenditures for exploration work which may include rock and soil sampling, geologic mapping, geophysics, trenching, drilling or other means to determine if economic mineralization is present on a property.

The Company owns 137 claims and leases 5 Claims from Clifford. The Company shall pay an aggregate 3% Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”), divided between Great Basin Resources, Inc. (“Great Basin”) and Clifford within thirty (30) days following the end of the calendar quarter under which the Company receives Net Smelter Returns. To date, the Company has not received Net Smelter Returns. Third parties to which NSR payments would be made are as follows:

 

Property name Longstreet
Third parties Great Basin Resources, Inc. and Clifford
Number of claims 142 (1)(2)(3)(4)
Acres (approx.) 2,500
Agreements/Royalties  
  Royalties 3% Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”)
  Annual advance royalty payment $12,000

 

  (1) Great Basin took assignment from MinQuest, Inc., of the 142 total claims controlled by the Company (Note 4 of the financial statements) of which 137 are owned by the Company and 5 of which are owned by (also Note 4) and leased to and managed by the Company.

 

  (2) On August 12, 2019, the Company and Great Basin Resources, Inc. (“Great Basin”) agreed to amend the Longstreet Agreement (Note 4) to eliminate the required property expenditure structure and to implement new consideration for the transfer of the Property pursuant to that agreement (the “2019 Amendment”). The Amendment eliminated the remainder of the required property expenditures set forth in the Longstreet Agreement, as amended.

 

  (3) On September 10, 2020, the Company accelerated the payment to Great Basin Resources, Inc. in consideration of a recorded quit claim deed on the Longstreet property claims. The Company owns 137 claims (exclusive of 5 Clifford claims) and has no required spend other than annual claims filing fees.

 

  (4) The Company shall pay Clifford a 2% net smelter royalty on net smelter returns which is inclusive of the overall 3% net smelter royalty for the properties.

 

Compliance with Government Regulations

 

Continuing to acquire and explore mineral properties in the State of Nevada will require the Company to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in the State of Nevada and the United States Federal agencies.

 

United States

 

Mining in the State of Nevada is subject to federal, state and local law. Three types of laws are of particular importance to the Company’s U.S. mineral properties: those affecting land ownership and mining rights; those regulating mining operations; and those dealing with the environment.

 

Land Ownership and Mining Rights.

 

On Federal Lands, mining rights are governed by the General Mining Law of 1872 (General Mining Law) as amended, 30 U.S.C. §§ 21-161 (various sections), which allows the location of mining claims on certain Federal Lands upon the discovery of a valuable mineral deposit and proper compliance with claim location requirements. A valid mining claim provides the holder with the right to conduct mining operations for the removal of locatable minerals, subject to compliance with the General Mining Law and Nevada state law governing the staking and registration of mining claims, as well as compliance with various federal, state and local operating and environmental laws, regulations and ordinances. As the owner or lessee of the unpatented mining claims, the Company has the right to conduct mining operations on the lands subject to the prior procurement of required operating permits and approvals, compliance with the terms and conditions of any applicable mining lease, and compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations and ordinances.

 

Mining Operations

 

The exploration of mining properties and development and operation of mines is governed by both federal and state laws.

Page 15 of 24

 

The State of Nevada likewise requires various permits and approvals before mining operations can begin, although the state and federal regulatory agencies usually cooperate to minimize duplication of permitting efforts. Among other things, a detailed reclamation plan must be prepared and approved, with bonding in the amount of projected reclamation costs. The bond is used to ensure that proper reclamation takes place, and the bond will not be released until that time. The Nevada Department of Environmental Protection, which is referred to as the NDEP, is the state agency that administers the reclamation permits, mine permits and related closure plans on the Nevada property. Local jurisdictions (such as Eureka County) may also impose permitting requirements (such as conditional use permits or zoning approvals).

 

Environmental Law

 

The development, operation, closure, and reclamation of mining projects in the United States requires numerous notifications, permits, authorizations, and public agency decisions. Compliance with environmental and related laws and regulations requires us to obtain permits issued by regulatory agencies, and to file various reports and keep records of the Company’s operations. Certain of these permits require periodic renewal or review of their conditions and may be subject to a public review process during which opposition to the Company’s proposed operations may be encountered. The Company is currently operating under various permits for activities connected to mineral exploration, reclamation, and environmental considerations. Unless and until a mineral resource is proved, it is unlikely Star Gold Corp. operations will move beyond the pre-development stage. If in the future the Company decides to proceed beyond exploration, there will be numerous notifications, permit applications, and other decisions to be addressed at that time.

 

Competition

 

Star Gold Corp. competes with other mineral resource exploration and development companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties and for equipment and labor related to exploration and development of mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration and development companies with whom the Company competes have greater financial and technical resources. Accordingly, competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could adversely impact Star Gold Corp.’s ability to finance further exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for the Company to develop its mineral properties.

 

The Company provides no assurance it will be able to compete in any of its business areas effectively with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures faced by the Company will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and operating results.

 

Office and Other Facilities

 

Star Gold Corp. currently maintains its administrative offices at 1875 N. Lakeview Drive, Suite 303, Coeur d’Alene, ID 83814. The telephone number is (208) 664-5066. Star Gold Corp. does not currently own title to any real property.

 

Employees

 

The Company has no employees as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Star Gold Corp. conducts business largely through independent contractor agreements with consultants.

 

Research and Development Expenditures

 

The Company has not incurred any research expenditures since incorporation.

PLAN OF OPERATION

 

The Company maintains a corporate office in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. This is the primary administrative office for the Company and is utilized by Board Chairman Lindsay Gorrill and Chief Financial Officer Kelly Stopher.

 

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021, the Company commissioned a detailed third-party Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) to redefine the Longstreet Project and to make sure that the assumptions, and resulting economics, relied on to move the leach pad closer to the Main nob justified the change in design. The PEA has been completed and the Company is currently assessing the best strategy to proceed.

 

On March 1, 2023, the United States Forest Service (“USFS”) granted conditional approval of a new Plan of Operation (“POO”) to commence drilling for a Hydrology Study. The POO also enables additional drilling of other holes on the Main knob for geochemical analysis. The approval is contingent on the Company posting an additional bond of $18,500 and there are no impediments to drilling other than capital constraints.

 

The Company plans to commence the following activities as it prepares to draft its Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) on the Longstreet Project:

 

Hydrology Drilling – 2 to 4 holes expected to be sufficient:

 

Geochemical analysis – design of program for submission to State of Nevada involves some core drilling;

 

Plan of Operations Development (Mine Plan, Civil Engineering Design)

 

Assuming the results of the above-referenced activities are favorable, the Company intends to proceed to the preparation of an EIS and plan of operation for the Longstreet project (the “Longstreet Plan”). The eventual objective of the EIS and Longstreet Plan is the issuance, by each respective governing agency, of the necessary mine permits to authorize the construction of, and ongoing operations at, an open pit/heap leach mine at the Longstreet Property.

 

Approval of the Longstreet Plan is subject to governmental agency review and may require additional remediation activities.

Management believes it can source additional capital in the investment markets in the coming months and years. The Company may also consider other sources of funding, including potential mergers, sale of property, joint ventures and/or farm-out a portion of its exploration properties.

 

Future liquidity and capital requirements depend on many factors including timing, cost and progress of the Company’s exploration efforts. The Company will consider additional public offerings, private placement, mergers or debt instruments.

 

Additional financing will be required in the future to complete all necessary steps to apply for a final permit. Although the Company believes it will be able to source additional financing there are no guarantees any needed financing will be available at the time needed or on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional financing, when necessary, it may have to delay exploration efforts or property acquisitions or be forced to cease operations. Collaborative arrangements may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain of its mining claims.

CASH FLOWS  January 31, 2023   January 31, 2022

Cash flow provided by financing activities   210,000    - 
Net decrease in cash during period  $(38,930)  $(233,542)

 

As of January 31, 2023, the Company had cash on hand of $11,885. Since inception, the sole source of financing has been sales of the Company’s debt and equity securities. Star Gold Corp. has not attained profitable operations and its ability to pursue any future plan of operation is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing.

 

Star Gold Corp. anticipates continuing to rely on sales of its debt and/or equity securities to continue to fund ongoing operations. Issuances of additional shares of common stock may result in dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete any additional sales of equity securities or that it will be able arrange for other financing to fund its planned business activities.

 

The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing as may be required, or ultimately to attain profitability. Potential sources of cash, or relief of demand for cash, include additional external debt, the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock or alternative methods such as mergers or sale of the Company’s assets. No assurances can be given, however, that the Company will be able to obtain any of these potential sources of cash. The Company currently requires additional cash funding from outside sources to sustain existing operations and to meet current obligations and ongoing capital requirements.

 

The Company plans for the long-term continuation as a going concern include financing future operations through sales of our equity and/or debt securities and the anticipated profitable exploitation of the Company’s mining properties. These plans may also, at some future point, include the formation of mining joint ventures with senior mining company partners on specific mineral properties whereby the joint venture partner would provide the necessary financing in return for equity in the property.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to its stockholders.

 

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Conclusions of Management Regarding Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the President and Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, the PEO and the PFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as it was determined that there were material weaknesses affecting our disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s accounting staff. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation. To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external legal and accounting professionals. As the Company grows, management expects to increase the number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

 

PEO and PFO Certifications

 

Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this report there are Certifications of the PEO and the PFO.
