Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1
|
- ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
Amarok Resources, Inc.’s (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) interim financial statements are unaudited. They contain all necessary adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) for a fair statement of the referenced interim period results. These interim period results do not indicate expected full-year results or results for future quarter/periods, due to several factors, including volatility of interest rates, geological risks, transportation restrictions, timing of acquisitions, product demand, market competition, and our ability to obtain additional capital. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and related notes included in Amarok Resources, Inc. Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010.
Amarok Resources, Inc. (“Amarok” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on October 23, 2008 under the name Ukragro Corporation. The Company’s principal activity is the exploration and development of mineral properties for future commercial development and production.
On January 29, 2010, the Company filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation changing its name to Amarok Resources, Inc. In the same amendment, the Company changed its authorized capital to 175,000,000 shares of common stock at a restated par value of $0.001. Effective February 23, 2010, the Company authorized a 60:1 stock split. The accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect the change in capital and stock split as if they occurred at the Company’s inception.
Effective February 1, 2010, the Company entered the exploratory stage as defined under the provisions of Accounting Codification Standard (“ASC”) 915-10.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred net losses since inception, and as of July 31, 2011, had a combined accumulated deficit of $3,211,242. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management recognizes that the Company must generate additional resources to enable it to continue operations. Management intends to raise additional financing through debt financing and equity financing or through other means that it deems necessary, with a view to moving forward and sustaining a prolonged growth in its strategy phases. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital. Further, even if the company raises additional capital, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability or positive cash flow. If management is unable to raise additional capital and expected significant revenues do not result in positive cash flow, the
Company will not be able to meet its obligations and may have to cease operations.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with a maturity date of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Mining Costs
Costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire property are capitalized when incurred. General exploration costs and costs to maintain rights and leases are expensed as incurred. Management periodically reviews the recoverability of the capitalized mineral properties. Management takes into consideration various information including, but not limited to, historical production records taken from previous mining operations, results of exploration activities conducted to date, estimated future prices and reports and opinions of outside consultants. When it is determined that a project or property will be abandoned or its carrying value has been impaired, a provision is made for any expected loss on the project
or property.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Pursuant to ASC No. 820,
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet as of July 31, 2011. The Company’s financial instruments consist of payables and due to related party. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Loss Per Share of Common Stock
The Company follows ASC No. 260,
Earnings Per Share
(ASC No. 260) that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with ASC No. 260, any anti-dilutive effects on net earnings (loss) per share are excluded. Potential common shares at
July 31, 2011 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share included warrants exercisable into 7,400,000 shares of common stock. There were no potential common shares at July 31, 2010.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in domestic financial institutions subject to insurance coverage issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Under FDIC rules, the Company is entitled to aggregate coverage as defined by Federal regulation per account type per separate legal entity per financial institution. During the nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, and subsequent thereto, respectively, the Company, from time-to-time, may have had deposits in a financial institution with credit risk exposures in excess of statutory FDIC coverage. The Company has incurred no losses as a result of any unsecured situations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-01 (ASU 2011-01) Receivables (Topic 310): Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20. ASU 2011-01 temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. Currently, the guidance is anticipated to be effective for interim and annual period ending after June 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU
2011-01 to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-29 (ASU 2010-29),
Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations
. This Accounting Standards Update requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting
period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. The amendments in this Update affect any public entity as defined by Topic 805 that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-29 to have a material effect on its financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
McNeil Claims, Canada
On March 24, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Warrior Ventures, Inc. a private company, to acquire 100% of the McNeil Gold Property. The Agreement was executed on May 5, 2011. The McNeil property is located within the Abitibi Greenstone belt, approximately 30 miles southeast of Timmins, Ontario, Canada and approximately 35 miles west of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada. The purchase price of the property consisted of the issuance to Warrior of 1,400,000 shares of Amarok’s restricted common stock along with an option to purchase 1,400,000 common shares of Amarok Resources, Inc. at a price of $1.00 per common share until October 1, 2011.Any options remaining unexercised as of October 2, 2011 may

The amount capitalized for the McNeil property was valued using the Company’s closing stock price at the date of the agreement as well as the calculated value of the options, $0.56 and $0.03 respectively. The Agreement with Warrior Ventures, Inc. was executed on May 5, 2011
Rodeo Creek Project, Nevada
On February 22, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Carlin Gold Resources, Inc, (“Carlin”) in which Carlin assigned the Company all of its rights, title, and interest in an exploration agreement between it and Trio Gold Corp (“Trio”). The assigned exploration agreement was dated January 28, 2010. In consideration for the assignment of the interest in the exploration agreement, the Company paid Carlin $1 and issued 100,000 shares of its common stock, valued at $168,000 based upon the trading price of the shares on the date of issuance. The value of these shares has been charged to operations and included in exploration costs.
Trio has leased and has an option to purchase a 100% interest in 29 unpatented lode mining claims located in Nevada within the Carlin Gold Trend (the “Claims”). The Claims are subject to a 1.5% Net Smelter Return.
Under the Agreement, the Company earns a 75% undivided interest in the Property during an earn-in period commencing in January 2010 and completing in December 2012 (the “earn-in period”). Upon completion of the earn-in period, a Joint Venture is to be formed with the same 75% / 25% interest the parties held during the earn-in period. The Joint Venture shall remain in effect for twenty-five years or as long as the claims are being actively mined or developed, whichever is longer. After the termination of the Joint Venture, the Claims shall revert back to Trio.
During the earn-in-period, the Company is to provide $5,500,000 in funding to cover operational costs according to the following schedule: $1,500,000 during the 2010 budget year, $2,000,000 during the 2011 budget year and $2,000,000 during the 2012 budget year. Each budget year shall commence on January 1 of that year and end on December 31 of that same year. Once the Company has provided $5,500,000 in funding for the project, the Company and Trio shall fund the operational costs jointly, with the Company providing 75% of the funds and Trio providing 25% of the funds.
The Company is required to pay a minimum annual royalty during the earn-in period to Trio according to the following schedule: $75,000 cash payment upon signing of the agreement, $100,000 cash payment on April 1, 2011 and $150,000 cash payment on April 1, 2012. The Company has remained in accordance with this agreement with the most recent payment of $100,000 to Trio on March 10, 2010, which was charged to operations and included in exploration costs.
In addition, within three months of the assignment, the Company is required to issue Trio shares of its common stock equaling 0.20% of its total issued and outstanding as of February 22, 2010. Upon expenditure of a minimum of $2,000,000 on the claims, Trio shall receive an additional 0.10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. Upon expending a minimum of $4,000,000 million on the claims, Trio shall receive an additional 0.10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. Upon expenditure of $5,500,000 million on the claims, Trio shall receive a final 0.10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. All shares issued shall be restricted common shares and will
be stamped with the applicable hold period. The Company issued 144,240 shares of its common stock to Trio, representing 0.20% of the shares then outstanding valued at $242,323, based upon the trading price of the shares on date of issuance. The value of these shares has been charged to operations and included in exploration costs. The Company has paid a total of $1,575,000 to Trio Gold as of July 31, 2011.
Trio is a company incorporated in the Province of Alberta Canada. Trio’s current President is the father of the Company’s sole officer and director.

(“St. Elias”) in which Amarok is given an option to earn a 60% interest, subject to a 1.5% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty, in the Cueva Blanca gold property (1,200 hectares) in Northern Peru, which is wholly owned by St. Elias
.
Under the terms of the letter agreement, it is possible for the Company to acquire a 60% interest in the Property (subject to a 1.5% NSR)

The Company is currently considering its options following St. Elias’ termination of the agreement.
Cautionary Note to United States Investors concerning Disclosure of Mineral Resources
This filing uses the terms “mineral resource” and “Inferred Resources.” U.S. investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them. “Inferred Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies.
U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Inferred Resources will ever be converted into reserves. U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
The mineral resources reported are not “proven reserves” nor are they “probable reserves” as those terms are defined by the SEC.
NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING
Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows the provisions of ASC No. 820-10 (ASC 820-10),
Fair Value Measurements
. ASC 820-10 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.
ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This standard is now the single source in GAAP for the definition of fair value, except for the fair value of leased property as defined in SFAS 13. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, that are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The
fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:
Level 1
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
|
Level 2
|
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
|
Level 3
|
Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. These inputs rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. (The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data.)
|
The following table presents the Company's fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 31, 2011:

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC No. 740 (ASC 740),
Accounting for Income Taxes.
This statement mandates the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes and permits the recognition of deferred tax assets subject to an ongoing assessment of reliability.
As of July 31, 2011, the Company had estimated federal net operating loss carry forwards totaling approximately $2,300,000 which can be used to offset future federal income tax. The federal net operating loss carry forwards expire at various dates through 2030. The utilization of the net operating losses to offset future net taxable income is subject to the limitations imposed by the change in control under Internal Revenue Code Section 382. Deferred tax assets resulting from the net operating losses are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, in the opinion of management, utilization is not reasonably assured. At July 31, 2011, the Company’s gross deferred tax asset totaled $782,000. This amount was reduced
100% by a valuation allowance, making the net deferred tax asset $0.

The purchase price of the property consisted of the issuance to Warrior of 1,400,000 shares of Amarok’s restricted common stock along with an option to purchase 1,400,000 common shares of Amarok Resources, Inc. at a price of $1.00 per common share until October 1, 2011. Any options remaining unexercised as of October 2, 2011
may be exercised at a price of $1.25 per common share until March 31, 2012, after which the option to purchase any shares of Amarok automatically terminates. The Company capitalized a total of $826,000 for the McNeil property. The amount capitalized for the McNeil property was valued using the Company’s closing stock price at the date of the agreement as well as the calculated value of the options, $0.56 and $0.03 respectively.
Work on the McNeil Prospect is scheduled to begin the Fall of 2011, with the compilation of the current geological, geophysical and geochemical data Extensive additional geological analysis of the McNeil Prospect will be required before we can make an evaluation as to the economic feasibility of finding valuable resources on these grounds.
Our plan of operations for the McNeil property is to undertake exploration work, in order to ascertain whether it possesses deposits of gold or other base metals that are anticipated according to the historical exploration work undertaken on the property to date.
The McNeil property holds the potential for Gold and Base metals deposits. Numerous historical gold showings, new discoveries and geophysical and geochemical anomalies outlined by groundwork programs conducted by Warrior Ventures and the Ontario Geological Survey (OGS) and Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) work in the area, speak to the properties’ great potential. To date, property development has included geophysics, geochemistry, surveying and drilling.
No commercially viable mineral deposit may exist on this minerals claim. Our plan of operations is to carry out additional exploration work on this claim in order to ascertain whether it possesses deposits of precious or base metals. We can provide no assurance to investors that this mineral claim contains a commercially viable mineral deposit until appropriate additional exploratory work is done and an evaluation based on that work concludes further work programs are justified. As of the date of this report, we are not in possession of sufficient data to provide reliable estimates on the poundage and quality of the potential mineral resources which may exist on the McNeil
Prospect. At the time of this report, we have no known reserves on our mineral claims.
We have limited finances and require additional funding in order to accomplish our exploration objectives. There is no assurance that we will have revenues in the future or that we will be able to secure other funding necessary for our future growth and expansion. There is also no assurance that our mineral exploration activities will produce commercially viable reserves. Our efforts to extract minerals may be unprofitable.
We may seek relationships with other mineral exploration and development companies that will allow us to exploit idle and/or undeveloped resources.
In late April, 2011, St. Elias Mines Ltd. (“St. Elias”) terminated that certain letter agreement entered into between the Company and St. Elias on April 16, 2010, pursuant to which the Company had the option to earn a 60% interest, subject to a 1.5% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty, in the Cueva Blanca gold property (1,200 hectares) owned wholly by St. Elias in Northern Peru, in exchange for (a) cash payments of $200,000 to St. Elias over a two-year period; (b) issuing 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to St. Elias; and (c) incurring at least $1,500,000 in exploration expenditures on the property over a three-year period. The Company is currently considering its options
following St. Elias’ termination of the agreement.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.
1.
|
Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature and there can be no certainty of our successful development of profitable commercial mining operations.
|
The exploration and the development of mineral properties involve significant risks which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of an ore body may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Substantial expenses may be incurred to locate and establish mineral reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade, and
proximity to infrastructure; metals prices which are highly cyclical; drilling and other related costs which appear to be rising; and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.
2.
|
Mining operations generally involve a high degree of risk.
|
Mining operations are subject to all the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration, development and production of base or precious metals, including unusual and unexpected geological formations, seismic activity, rock bursts, cave-ins, flooding and other conditions involved in the drilling and removal of material, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, mines and other producing facilities, damage to life or property, environmental damage and possible legal liability. Mining operations could also experience periodic interruptions due to bad or hazardous weather conditions and other acts of God. Milling operations are subject to hazards such as equipment
failure or failure of retaining dams around tailing disposal areas which may result in environmental pollution and consequent liability.
If any of these risks and hazards adversely affect our mining operations or our exploration activities, they may: (i) increase the cost of exploration to a point where it is no longer economically feasible to continue operations; (ii) require us to write down the carrying value of one or more mines or a property; (iii) cause delays or a stoppage in the exploration of minerals; (iv) result in damage to or destruction of mineral properties or processing facilities; and (v) result in personal injury or death or legal liability. Any or all of these adverse consequences may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and future cash flows.
3.
|
We are an exploration-stage company with no operating history and our estimates of mineralization are only preliminary and based primarily on past geological mapping, silt, soil and rock sampling which may not reflect the actual deposits or the economic viability of extraction.
|
Categories of inferred, indicated and measured mineral resources are recognized in order of increasing geological confidence. However, mineral resources are not equivalent to mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There can be no assurance that mineral resources in a lower category may be converted to a higher category, or that mineral resources can be converted to mineral reserves. Inferred mineral resources cannot be converted into mineral reserves as the ability to assess geological continuity is not sufficient to demonstrate economic viability. Due to the uncertainty which may attach to inferred mineral resources, there is no assurance that
inferred mineral resources will be upgraded to indicated or measured mineral resources with sufficient geological continuity to constitute proven and probable mineral reserves as a result of continued exploration.
There is a degree of uncertainty to the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources and corresponding grades being mined or dedicated to future production. The estimating of mineralization is a subjective process and the accuracy of estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of data, the accuracy of statistical computations, and the assumptions used and judgments made in interpreting engineering and geological information. There is significant uncertainty in any mineralization estimate, and the actual deposits encountered and the economic viability of mining a deposit may differ significantly from our estimates. Until mineral reserves or mineral resources are
actually mined and processed, the quantity of mineral and reserve grades must be considered as estimates only. In addition, the quantity of mineral reserves and mineral resources may vary depending on, among other things, metal prices. Any material change in quantity or mineral reserves, mineral resources, grade of stripping ration may affect the economic viability of the properties. In addition, there can be no assurance that recoveries in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in larger scale tests under on-site conditions or during production. Fluctuation in metals prices, results of drilling, metallurgical testing and production and the evaluation of mine plans subsequent to the date of any estimate may require revision of such estimate. The volume and grade of reserves mined and processed and recovery rates may not be
the same as currently anticipated. Estimates may have to be recalculated based on changes in minerals prices of further exploration activity. This could materially and adversely affect estimates of the volume or grade of mineralization, estimated recover rates or resources, or of our ability to extract these mineral reserves, could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations and future cash flows.
4.
|
We may not be able to compete with current and potential exploration companies, some of whom have greater resources and experience than we do in developing mineral reserves.
|
The natural resource market is intensely competitive, highly fragmented and subject to rapid change. We may be unable to compete successfully with our existing competitors or with any new competitors. We will be competing with many exploration companies which have significantly greater personnel, financial, managerial and technical resources than we do. This competition from other companies with greater resources and reputations may result in our failure to maintain or expand our business.
5.
|
Because our business involves numerous operating hazards, we may be subject to claims of a significant size which would cost a significant amount of funds and resources to rectify. This could force us to cease our operations.
|
Our operations are subject to the usual hazards inherent in exploring for minerals, such as general accidents, explosions, chemical exposure and craterings. The occurrence of these or similar events could result in the suspension of operations, damage to or destruction of the equipment involved and injury or death to personnel. Operations also may be suspended because of machinery breakdowns, abnormal climatic conditions, failure of subcontractors to perform or supply goods or services or personnel shortages. The occurrence of any such contingency would require us to incur additional costs, which would adversely affect our business.
6.
|
Damage to the environment could also result from our operations. If our business is involved in one or more of these hazards, we may be subject to claims of a significant size which could force us to cease our operations.
|
Mineral resource exploration, production and related operations are subject to extensive rules and regulations of federal, provincial, state and local agencies. Failure to comply with these rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. Our cost of doing business may be affected by the regulatory burden on the mineral industry. Although we intend to substantially comply with all applicable laws and regulations, because these rules and regulations frequently are amended or interpreted, we cannot predict the future cost or impact of complying with these laws.
Environmental enforcement efforts with respect to mineral operations have increased over the years, and it is possible that regulations could expand and have a greater impact on future mineral exploration operations. Although our management intends to comply with all legislation and/or actions of local, provincial, state and federal governments, non-compliance with applicable regulatory requirements could subject us to penalties, fines and regulatory actions, the costs of which could harm our results of operations. We cannot be sure that our proposed business operations will not violate environmental laws in the future.
Our operations and properties are subject to extensive federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of materials into the environment, and relating to safety and health. These laws and regulations may do any of the following: (i) require the acquisition of a permit or other authorization before exploration commences, (ii) restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released in the environment in connection with exploration activities, (iii) limit or prohibit mineral exploration on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and
other protected areas, (iv) require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former operations and (v) impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our proposed operations.
The exploration of mineral reserves are subject to all of the usual hazards and risks associated with mineral exploration, which could result in damage to life or property, environmental damage, and possible legal liability for any or all damages. The exploration activities may be subject to prolonged disruptions due to the weather conditions surrounding the property locations. Difficulties, such as unusual or unexpected rock formations encountered by workers but not indicated on a map, or other conditions may be encountered in the gathering of samples and information, and could delay our exploration program. Even though we are at liberty to obtain insurance against certain risks
in such amounts we deem adequate, the nature of those risks is such that liabilities could exceed policy limits or be excluded from coverage. We do not currently carry insurance to protect against these risks and there is no assurance that we will obtain such insurance in the future. There are also risks against which we cannot, or may not elect to insure. The costs, which could be associated with any liabilities, not covered by insurance or in excess of insurance coverage or compliance with applicable laws and regulations may cause substantial delays and require significant capital outlays, adversely affecting our financial position, future earnings, and/or competitive positions.
7.
|
The prices of metals are highly volatile and a decrease in metal prices can have a material adverse effect on our business.
|
The profitability of natural resource operations are directly related to the market prices of the underlying commodities. The market prices of metals fluctuate significantly and are affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the rate of inflation, the exchange rate of the dollar to other currencies, interest rates, and global economic and political conditions. Price fluctuations in the metals market from the time exploration for a mine is undertaken and the time production can commence can significantly affect the profitability of a mine. Accordingly, we may begin to develop a minerals property at a time when the price of the underlying
metals make such exploration economically feasible and subsequently, incur losses because metal prices have decreased. Adverse fluctuations of metals market prices may force us to curtail or cease our business operations.
8.
|
Our principal stockholder and note holder, owns a controlling interest in our voting stock and investors will not have any voice in our management, which could result in decisions adverse to our general stockholder.
|
Our principal stockholder and note holder owns approximately or have the right to vote 51.4% of our outstanding Common Shares. As a result, this stockholder will have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval including:
● election of our board of directors;
● removal of any of our directors;
● amendment of our Articles of Incorporation or By-laws; and
● Adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us.
As a result of his ownership and positions, our major shareholder and note holder is able to influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our major shareholder and note holder, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares. This stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
9.
|
We may not have access to all of the supplies and materials we need to begin exploration which could cause us to delay or suspend operations.
|
Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies and certain equipment such as bulldozers and excavators that we might need to conduct exploration. We have not attempted to locate or negotiate with any suppliers of products, equipment or materials. We will attempt to locate products, equipment and materials prior to undertaking exploration programs. If we cannot find the products, equipment and materials we need, we will have to suspend our exploration plans until we do find the products, equipment and materials we need.
10.
|
Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.
|
Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of its development. We are engaged in the business of exploring and, if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource properties. Our properties are in the exploration stage only, are without proven reserves of natural resources. Accordingly, we have not generated any revenues nor have we realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will generate any revenues or realize any profits in the short term. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating and developing
economic reserves of natural resources, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth herein. Since we have not generated any revenues, we will have to raise additional monies through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to continue our business operations.
11.
|
We are an exploration stage company, and there is no assurance that a commercially viable deposit or “reserve” exists in the property in which we have claim.
|
We are an exploration stage company and cannot assure you that a commercially viable deposit, or “reserve,” exists within any of our properties. Therefore, determination of the existence of a reserve will depend on appropriate and sufficient exploration work and the evaluation of legal, economic and environmental factors.
12.
|
We expect losses to continue in the future because we have no reserves and, consequently, no revenue to offset losses.
|
Based upon current plans and the fact that we currently do not have any reserves, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the acquisition of, and exploration of natural resource properties which do not yet have any income-producing reserves. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues may cause us to go out of business. We will require additional funds to achieve our current business strategy and our inability to obtain additional financing will interfere with our ability to expand our current business operations.
13.
|
Our Directors and Officers May Face Possible Conflicts Of Interest Through Dual Directorships Which Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On Our Business.
|
Our directors currently hold directorships on other companies which are in the business of mineral exploration. It is possible that they may face a conflict of interest if they obtain information regarding an asset available for acquisition that would fall in the parameters of acquisitions being sought by these other companies. We expect that if such event did occur, that the directors and officers would pass the information regarding such acquisition to both companies for consideration and withdraw from further activity regarding such asset except with the written consent of both companies. Their failure to take appropriate actions if they were to acquire such information could
have a material adverse effect on our business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have 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 stockholders.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Basis of Presentation
The Company follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with a maturity date of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Mining Costs
Costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire property are capitalized when incurred. General exploration costs and costs to maintain rights and leases are expensed as incurred. Management periodically reviews the recoverability of the capitalized mineral properties. Management takes into consideration various information including, but not limited to, historical production records taken from previous mining operations, results of exploration activities conducted to date, estimated future prices and reports and opinions of outside consultants. When it is determined that a project or property will be abandoned or its carrying value has been impaired, a provision is made for any expected loss on the project or
property.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Pursuant to ASC No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet as of July 31, 2011. The Company’s financial instruments consist of payables and due to related party. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Loss Per Share of Common Stock
The Company follows ASC No. 260, Earnings Per Share (ASC No. 260) that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with ASC No. 260, any anti-dilutive effects on net earnings (loss) per share are excluded. Potential common shares at July 31, 2011 that have been excluded from the computation
of diluted net loss per share included warrants exercisable into 7,400,000 shares of common stock. There were no potential common shares at July 31, 2010.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in domestic financial institutions subject to insurance coverage issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Under FDIC rules, the Company is entitled to aggregate coverage as defined by Federal regulation per account type per separate legal entity per financial institution. During the nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, and subsequent thereto, respectively, the Company, from time-to-time, may have had deposits in a financial institution with credit risk exposures in excess of statutory FDIC coverage. The Company has incurred no losses as a result of any unsecured situations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-01 (ASU 2011-01) Receivables (Topic 310): Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20. ASU 2011-01 temporarily delay the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. Currently, the guidance is anticipated to be effective for interim and annual period ending after June 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU
2011-01 to have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-29 (ASU 2010-29),
Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations
. This Accounting Standards Update requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting
period. If comparative financial statements are presented, the pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the comparable prior reporting period should be reported as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the current year had been as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period. The amendments in this Update affect any public entity as defined by Topic 805 that enters into business combinations that are material on an individual or aggregate basis. The amendments in this Update are effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-29 to have a material effect on its financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.
Regulation and Environment Matters
Mineral resource exploration, production and related operations are subject to extensive rules and regulations of federal, provincial, state and local agencies. Failure to comply with these rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. Our cost of doing business may be affected by the regulatory burden on the mineral industry. Although we intend to substantially comply with all applicable laws and regulations, when we begin our operations and exploration activities because these rules and regulations frequently are amended or interpreted, we cannot predict the future cost or impact of complying with these laws.
Environmental enforcement efforts with respect to mineral operations have increased over the years, and it is possible that regulations could expand and have a greater impact on future mineral exploration operations. Although our management intends to comply with all legislation and/or actions of local, provincial, state and federal governments, non-compliance with applicable regulatory requirements could subject us to penalties, fines and regulatory actions, the costs of which could harm our results of operations. We cannot be sure that our proposed business operations will not violate environmental laws in the future.
Our operations and properties are subject to extensive federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of materials into the environment, and relating to safety and health. These laws and regulations may do any of the following: (i) require the acquisition of a permit or other authorization before exploration commences, (ii) restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released in the environment in connection with exploration activities, (iii) limit or prohibit mineral exploration on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and
other protected areas, (iv) require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former operations and (v) impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our proposed operations.
There are no costs to us at the present time in connection with compliance with environmental laws. However, since we do anticipate engaging in natural resource projects, these costs could occur. Costs could extend into the millions of dollars for which we could be liable. Any significant liability could wipe out our assets and resources.
Competition
The natural resource market is intensely competitive in all its phases, highly fragmented and subject to rapid change. We will encounter strong competition from many other natural resource companies, including many that possess substantial financial resources, in acquiring economically desirable producing properties and exploratory drilling prospects, and in obtaining equipment and labor to operate and maintain the properties. We may be unable to compete successfully with our existing competitors or with any new competitors. We compete with many exploration companies which have significantly greater personnel, financial, managerial, and technical resources than we
do. This competition from other companies with greater resources and reputations may result in our failure to maintain or expand our business.
Seasonality
Our properties are located in areas affected by seasonality and as such we may have difficulty gaining access to the properties during the winter months and we may have difficulty undertaking exploration activities during the spring months due to ground conditions. We will conduct our exploration programs, weather permitting, when the ground is suitable for such activities.
Overview
As a natural resource exploration company our focus is to locate prospective properties that may host mineral reserves that could eventually be put into mining production. We do not presently intend to use any employees, with the exception of part-time clerical and administrative assistance on an as-needed basis, together with any existing consultant’s required. Outside advisors, attorneys or consultants will only be used if they can be obtained for a reasonable cost or on a deferred payment basis. Management is confident that it will be able to operate in this matter and continue during the next twelve (12) months.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON SHARES AND THE TRADING MARKET
1. We may, in the future, issue additional Common Shares which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value and an unlimited number of Preferred Shares without par value. The future issuance of our unlimited authorized Common Shares may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our Common Shares held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any Common Shares issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of Common Shares for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the Common Shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our Common
Shares
.
2. Our Common Shares are subject to the “Penny Stock” Rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a "penny stock" to be any equity security other than a security excluded from such definition by Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For the purposes relevant to our Company, it is any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
Our Common Shares are currently regarded as a “penny stock”, since our shares are not listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ Market within the United States, to the extent the market price for its shares is less than $5.00 per share. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, to provide the customer with additional information including current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account, and to make a special
written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. To the extent these requirements may be applicable they will reduce the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the Common Shares and may severely and adversely affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Common Shares.
3. There is a limited trading market for our securities and if a trading market does not develop, purchasers of our securities may have difficulty selling their shares.
We currently are quoted on the OTC QB. To date we have limited trading history. If for any reason a public trading market does not develop, purchasers of the Common Shares may have difficulty selling their shares should they desire to do so.
4 We have not and do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our Common Shares, and consequently our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
