1. NATURE
OF OPERATIONS
Organization
The
Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. on April 21, 2006.
Exploration
Stage Activities
The
Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining
claims. Upon location of a commercial minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for its extraction and
enter a development stage. During the fiscal year 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with Mayan Mineral Ltd. to acquire
a resource property in Nevada (Note 4). Currently, the Company is actively looking for other mineral properties for its planned
business operation.
Going
Concern
These
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America
(“US GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
and commitments in the normal course of business.
The
general business strategy of the Company is to acquire and explore mineral properties. The continued operations of the Company
and the recoverability of mineral property costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves,
the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the development of its properties, and upon future profitable
production. The Company has not generated any revenues or completed development of any properties to date. Further, the Company
has a working capital deficit of $514,528 (June 30, 2016 - $504,816), has incurred losses of $621,588 since inception, and further
significant losses are expected to be incurred in the exploration and development of its mineral properties. The Company will
require additional funds to meet its obligations and maintain its operations. There can be no guarantee that the Company will
be successful in raising the necessary financing. Management’s plans in this regard are to raise equity financing as required.
These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
The
financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Because a precise determination of many assets
and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the
use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates. The financial statements
have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of
the significant accounting policies summarized below.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
a) Cash
The
Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
There are no cash equivalents as at March 31, 2017 (June 30, 2016: $nil).
b) Mineral
Property Acquisition Payments
The
Company expenses all costs incurred on mineral properties to which it has secured exploration rights prior to the establishment
of proven and probable reserves. If and when proven and probable reserves are determined for a property and a feasibility study
prepared with respect to the property, then subsequent exploration and development costs of the property will be capitalized.
The
Company regularly performs evaluations of any investment in mineral properties to assess the recoverability and/or the residual
value of its investments in these assets. All long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances change
which indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
c) Exploration
Expenditures
The
Company follows a policy of expensing exploration expenditures until a production decision in respect of the project and the Company
is reasonably assured that it will receive regulatory approval to permit mining operations, which may include the receipt of a
legally binding project approval certificate.
d) Asset
Retirement Obligations
The
Company has adopted ASC 410, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”, which requires that an asset retirement
obligation (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the
period which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset.
The
cost of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over
the useful life of the asset. The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted
liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow,
discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. To date, no significant asset retirement obligation
exists due to the early stage of exploration. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
e) Use
of Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the Date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
f) Financial
Instruments
ASC
820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize
the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent,
objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the
fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes
the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level
1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level
2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
Level
3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions
about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.
The
Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loan payable and
due to a related party. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which
consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of the other
financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
The
Company’s operations are in Canada, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The
financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree
of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency
risk.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
g) Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” and ASC 740 —Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which require the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The liability method requires
the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial
statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.
h) Basic
and Diluted Net Loss per Share
The
Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with ASC 260 – “Earnings per Share”. Basic loss per share
is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed
using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss
per share is equal to basic loss per share because there are no potential dilutive securities.
i) Foreign
Currency Translation
The
Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at
the rate of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated
into U.S. dollars at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are translated at the historical rate unless
such items are carried at market value, in which case they are translated using exchange rates that existed when the value were
determined. Any resulting exchange rate differences are recorded in the statement of operations.
3. RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
May 2015, the FASB issued guidance to remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for
which fair value is measured using net asset value per share practical expedient. The guidance is effective for the Company in
the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the new guidance, effective for the quarter beginning
October 1, 2016, had no impact on the Company’s balance sheets or statements of operations or cash flows.
In
August 2014, the FASB issued guidance on how to account for and disclose going concern risk. The guidance is effective for the
Company in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting
this new accounting guidance on its financial statements.
In
March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions
including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement
of cash flows. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and earlier adoption is permitted.
The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its financial statements.

3. RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)
In
June 2016, the FASB issued guidance that changes the accounting for recognizing impairments of financial assets. Under the new
guidance, credit losses for certain types of financial instruments will be estimated based on expected losses. The new guidance
also modifies the impairment models for available for-sale debt securities and for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration
since their origination. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and earlier adoption is
permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting guidance on its financial statements.
