Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Nature of Operations

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Magellan Gold Corporation (“we” “our”, “us”, the “Company” or “Magellan”) was incorporated on September 28, 2010, under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether the properties to which we have mining rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

 

Our primary focus is to explore and develop mineral properties in the United States. Effective March 31, 2020, we divested our subsidiary holding all our international assets and plan to advance our Center Star Gold Project and our Kris Project towards resource definition and eventual development, to advance the exploration efforts on one or more of the Company’s copper project, Blue Jacket, Copper Cliff or Copper Butte and possibly to acquire additional mineral rights and conduct additional exploration, development and permitting activities. Our mineral lease payments, mineral claim annual holding costs, permitting applications and exploration and development efforts will require additional capital. We rely upon the sale of our securities as well as advances and loans from executive management and significant shareholders to fund our operations as we have not generated any significant revenue.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While we believe that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our 100% owned subsidiaries, Clearwater and M Gold. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

  

Net Loss per Common Share

 

We compute basic net loss per common share by dividing our net loss attributable to common shareholders by our weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Computation of diluted net loss per common share adds the weighted-average number of potential common shares outstanding to the weighted-average common shares outstanding, as calculated for basic net loss per share, except for instances in which there is a net loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 72,000 stock options, 117,500 warrants, and 2,213,200 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, 72,000 stock options, 117,500 warrants, and 2,812,471 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects.

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt under ASC 470, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments under ASC 815. The Company applies the guidance in ASC 815-40-35-12 to determine the order in which each convertible instrument would be evaluated for derivative classification. The Company’s sequencing policy is to evaluate for reclassification contracts with the earliest maturity date first.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our consolidated financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of $1,870,028, we had not yet generated any significant revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $21,124,043. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due, of which there can be no assurance.

 

We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders, or equity financing from the sale of our common stock but cannot assure that any future financing will occur.

Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:

 

Level 1 –    Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 –    Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 –   Inputs reflecting management’s best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.

 

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party line of credit and notes payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities.

Conflicts of Interests

 

Athena Silver Corporation (“Athena”) is a company under common control. Mr. Gibbs is a significant investor in both Magellan and Athena. Magellan and Athena are both exploration stage companies involved in the business of acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.

 

Silver Saddle Resources, LLC is also a company under common control. Mr. Gibbs is a significant investor and managing member of Silver Saddle. Magellan and Silver Saddle are both exploration stage companies involved in the business of acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.

 

Gold Express Mines, Inc. (“GEM”) is a company under common control. Mr. Crosby and Mr. Ryan are both on the board and/or hold management roles in both Magellan and GEM. Magellan and GEM are both exploration stage companies involved in the business of acquisition and exploration of mineral resources.

 

The existence of common ownership and common management could result in significantly different operating results or financial positions from those that could have resulted had Magellan, Athena, Silver Saddle and Gold Express been autonomous.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

We use the terms “Magellan,” “we,” “our,” and “us” to refer to Magellan Gold Corporation.

 

The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. This information should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and our interim unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included with this report in Part I, Item 1. 

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Some of the information presented in this Form 10-Q constitutes “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that include terms such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “continue,” “believe,” “plan,” or the like, as well as all statements that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations. Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations.

 

All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated on September 28, 2010, in Nevada. Our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether the properties to which we have mineral rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

 

We have only had limited operations to date, and we rely upon the sale of our securities and borrowings from significant investors to fund our operations, as we have not generated any revenue.

 

Effective July 1, 2020, Magellan entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire Clearwater Gold Mining Corporation (“Clearwater”) which owns certain unpatented mining claims in Idaho County, Idaho that include the historic Center Star Gold Mine near Elk City, Idaho. The Center Star Mine hosts high grade gold mineralization that was discovered in the early 1900’s. There was periodic historic production and development work done under different ownership through the 1980s. With the high-grade gold mineralization present, Magellan will be evaluating the historic mine data to assess the potential to develop a gold resource at Center Star. The project area is located 45 miles from Grangeville, Idaho and near the town of Elk City, Idaho.

 

In consideration for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Clearwater, Magellan has agreed to pay its sole shareholder 1,000,000 shares of Magellan common stock and $150,000 in cash. The cash consideration of $25,000 was paid and the balance of $125,000 is evidenced by a secured promissory note due in two years. The Note is secured by the Clearwater shares and assets.

 

On January 3, 2023, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Gold Express Mines, Inc (“Gold Express”). Pursuant to the agreement, the Seller sold the following 1) Golden, Idaho Project located in Idaho County, Idaho and consisting of seventy-two unpatented mining claims 2) Seafoam District - located in Custer County, Idaho and consisting of five unpatented mining claims 3) Blacktail District - located in Lemhi County, Idaho and consisting of eight unpatented mining claims 4) Big-it Project- located in Shoshone County, Idaho consisting of twenty-five unpatented mining claims and a mineral lease over three unpatented mining claims and 94.86 acres of real property and 5) Terror Gulch (Capparelli Group) located in Shoshone County, Idaho consisting of twenty-six unpatented mining claims. As of March 31, 2023, the total purchase price for the acquisition was determined to be $1,000,000 which consisted of 5,000,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $1,000,000. The Company concluded the transaction qualified as an asset acquisition and all such acquisition costs have been capitalized. The Company concluded the purchase of a single set of assets qualified as an asset acquisition and all such acquisition costs have been capitalized as mineral rights and properties on the balance sheet. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company evaluated the mineral rights and properties for impairment and recorded an impairment expense of $1,000,000. As of December 31, 2023, the Gold Express mineral rights and properties balance totaled $0.

On June 6, 2023, the Company entered a memorandum of understanding for earn-in agreement(“MOU”) with Gold Express Mines, Inc. Per the MOU, the Company agreed to earn-in for up to 50% working interest in Kris Project, which has 74 unpatented mining claims located in Plumas County, CA. In March 2023, the Company paid Gold Express Mines, Inc. $100,000, which was recorded as a deposit, and shall spend $400,000 on the Kris Project in allowable expenditures over the next thirty-six months, assuming permitting for the work is obtained. If permitting delays the exploration and other work programs, the earn-in period shall be extended accordingly. Allowable expenditures are sampling, drilling, assaying, geologic mapping, and mine site improvements made or performed directly on the existing mine site or expanded mine site. Consulting fees for work directly benefiting the Project are also allowed including management of work, preparation of reports, and planning for Future work. Claim maintenance fees on the existing claims are also allowable expenditures, as are the costs of future land acquisitions which are deemed to benefit the Kris Project, and which are approved by both parties beforehand. As part of the agreement, the Company shall make the Bureau of Land Management claim maintenance fees on the existing claims no later than August 15, 2023, and by August 15th in ensuing years during the earn-in period. The Company shall pay for the annual Plumas County “notice of intent to hold” recording costs and any other Plumas County fees or taxes which accrue during the earn-in period. These shall all be allowable expenses under the earn-in agreement. As of December 31, 2023, the $100,000 deposit paid to Golden Express for the MOU was reclassed to mineral rights and properties on the balance sheet.

 

On January 4, 2024 the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Gold Express. Pursuant to the agreement, the Seller sold the following 1) Copper Butte Project located in Pinal County, Arizona and consisting of 66 unpatented mining claims 2) Blue Jacket Project located in Idaho County, Idaho and consisting of 79 unpatented mining claims and 3) Copper Cliff Project located in Adams County, Idaho and consisting of 71 unpatented mining claims and a mineral lease with option to purchase consisting of patented mining claims known as the Copper Cliff Patented Claims located in Adams County, Idaho upon landowner approval. As of March 31, 2024, the total purchase price for the acquisition for the three projects was determined to be $422,565, to be paid upon landowner approval, consisting of 5,500,000 shares of common stock for the three projects with a fair market value of $422,565. As of the date of this filing, the Company and GEM have not completed the assignment of leases and the 500,000 shares related to assignment have not been issued. The Company concluded the transaction qualified as an asset acquisition and all costs have been capitalized. The Company concluded the purchase of a single set of assets qualified as an asset acquisition and all such acquisition costs have been capitalized as mineral rights and properties on the balance sheet.

 

Our primary focus is to advance our Center Star gold project, our Kris gold project and our copper projects, Blue Jacket, Copper Cliff and Copper Butte towards resource definition and eventual development, and possibly to acquire additional mineral rights and conduct additional exploration, development and permitting activities. Our permitting applications and exploration and development efforts will require additional capital. We rely upon the sale of our securities as well as advances and loans from executive management and significant shareholders to fund our operations as we have not generated any significant revenue.

 

Results of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

Operating expenses

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, our total operating expenses included general and administrative expenses of $100,364 as compared to $33,945 during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The $66,419 increase is primarily associated with increases in professional fees and stock-based compensation.

 

Other income (expense)

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, total other expense was $29,901 as compared to other income of $3,024 during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The $32,925 change was mainly related to change in derivative liability.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our consolidated financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2024, we had not yet generated sufficient revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $21,124,043. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due, of which there can be no assurance.

 

We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders, or equity financing from the sale of our common stock but cannot assure that any future financing will occur.

 

Cash Flows

 

A summary of our cash provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities is as follows:

 

   Three months ended March 31, 
   2024   2023 
Net cash used in operating activities  $(73,917)  $(113,482)
           
Net cash provided by financing activities   75,000    140,000 
           
Net change in cash   1,083    26,518 
Cash beginning of period   99    743 
Cash end of period  $1,182   $27,261 

 

At March 31, 2024, we had $1,182 in cash and a $1,870,028 working capital deficit. This compares to cash of $99 and a working capital deficit of $1,784,671 at December 31, 2023.

 

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $73,917 and was mainly comprised of our $130,265 net loss during the period, adjusted by a non-cash charges of $44,908 of stock compensation and a loss on change in derivative liability of $9,219. In addition, it reflects changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2,221.

 

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $113,482 and was mainly comprised of our $30,921 net loss during the period, adjusted by a non-cash charges of $6,315 of stock compensation and a gain on change in derivative liability of $21,772. In addition, it reflects changes in operating assets and liabilities of $67,104.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have and have never had any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, including the notes thereto. We consider critical accounting policies to be those that require more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our financial statements, including the following: long lived assets; intangible assets valuations; and income tax valuations. Management relies on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable in making its judgment and estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Management believes its application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are periodically reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including Michael Lavigne, our Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

 

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to lack of segregation of duties, a limited corporate governance structure, and lack of a formal review process that includes multiple levels of review as discussed in Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

 

While we strive to segregate duties as much as practicable, there is an insufficient volume of transactions at this point in time to justify additional full time staff. We believe that this is typical in many exploration stage companies. We may not be able to fully remediate the material weakness until we commence mining operations, at which time we would expect to hire more staff. We will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional staffing.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

None, except as previously reported.

Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Nature of Operations

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Magellan Gold Corporation (“we” “our”, “us”, the “Company” or “Magellan”) was incorporated on September 28, 2010, under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether the properties to which we have mining rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

 

Our primary focus is to explore and develop mineral properties in the United States. Effective March 31, 2020, we divested our subsidiary holding all our international assets and plan to advance our Center Star Gold Project and our Kris Project towards resource definition and eventual development, to advance the exploration efforts on one or more of the Company’s copper project, Blue Jacket, Copper Cliff or Copper Butte and possibly to acquire additional mineral rights and conduct additional exploration, development and permitting activities. Our mineral lease payments, mineral claim annual holding costs, permitting applications and exploration and development efforts will require additional capital. We rely upon the sale of our securities as well as advances and loans from executive management and significant shareholders to fund our operations as we have not generated any significant revenue.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While we believe that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our 100% owned subsidiaries, Clearwater and M Gold. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

  

Net Loss per Common Share

 

We compute basic net loss per common share by dividing our net loss attributable to common shareholders by our weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Computation of diluted net loss per common share adds the weighted-average number of potential common shares outstanding to the weighted-average common shares outstanding, as calculated for basic net loss per share, except for instances in which there is a net loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 72,000 stock options, 117,500 warrants, and 2,213,200 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, 72,000 stock options, 117,500 warrants, and 2,812,471 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt under ASC 470, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments under ASC 815. The Company applies the guidance in ASC 815-40-35-12 to determine the order in which each convertible instrument would be evaluated for derivative classification. The Company’s sequencing policy is to evaluate for reclassification contracts with the earliest maturity date first.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our consolidated financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of $1,870,028, we had not yet generated any significant revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $21,124,043. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due, of which there can be no assurance.

 

We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders, or equity financing from the sale of our common stock but cannot assure that any future financing will occur.

Kris Project

 

On June 6, 2023, the Company entered a memorandum of understanding for earn-in agreement (“MOU”) with Gold Express Mines, Inc. (“GEM”). Per the MOU, the Company agreed to earn-in for up to 50% working interest in the Kris Project, which is comprised of 74 unpatented mining claims located in Plumas County, CA. In March 2023, the Company paid Gold Express Mines, Inc. $100,000, which was recorded as a deposit, and shall spend $400,000 on the Kris Project in allowable expenditures over the next thirty-six months, assuming permitting for the work is obtained. If permitting delays the exploration and other work programs, the earn-in period shall be extended accordingly. Allowable expenditures are sampling, drilling, assaying, geologic mapping, and mine site improvements made or performed directly on the existing mine site or expanded mine site. Consulting fees for work directly benefiting the Project are also allowed including management of work, preparation of reports, and planning for Future work. Claim maintenance fees on the existing claims are also allowable expenditures, as are the costs of future land acquisitions which are deemed to benefit the Kris Project, and which are approved by both parties beforehand. As part of the agreement, the Company shall make the Bureau of Land Management claim maintenance fees on the existing claims no later than August 15, 2023, and by August 15th in ensuing years during the earn-in period. The Company shall pay for the annual Plumas County “notice of intent to hold” recording costs and any other Plumas County fees or taxes which accrue during the earn-in period. These shall all be allowable expenses under the earn-in agreement. As of December 31, 2023, the $100,000 deposit paid to Golden Express for the MOU was reclassed to mineral rights and properties on the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2024, the $100,000 deposit paid to Golden Express for the MOU remained in mineral rights and properties on the balance sheet.

 

Blue Jacket and Cuprum Project

 

On January 4, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with GEM, pursuant to which, among other things (i) the Company agreed to purchase certain mineral assets owned and controlled by GEM for a purchase price equal to 5,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share; and (ii) GEM agreed to assign to the Company a certain lease for mineral properties for a purchase price of 500,000 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2024, the total purchase price for the acquisition was determined to be $422,565 which consisted of 5,500,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $422,565. As of the date of this filing, the Company and GEM have not completed the assignment of leases and the 500,000 shares related to assignment have not been issued. The Company concluded the transaction qualified as an asset acquisition and all such acquisition costs have been capitalized. The Company concluded the purchase of a single set of assets qualified as an asset acquisition and all such acquisition costs have been capitalized as mineral rights and properties on the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2024, the GEM mineral rights and properties balance totaled $422,565.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Note 4 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:

 

Level 1 –    Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 –    Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 –   Inputs reflecting management’s best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.

 

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party line of credit and notes payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy.

The convertible note is secured by common stock of the Company, matures on July 1, 2022 and will accrue interest at the rate of 3% per annum, payable yearly in arrears beginning July 1, 2021. The Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.50 during the life of the Note.

Convertible Note

 

On February 10, 2021, the Company entered into a debt agreement to borrow $200,000. The secured note has an original issuance discount of $16,000 along with $9,000 in legal and finder fees recorded as a discount, which will be amortized over the life of the note. The loan is secured by common stock of the Company, bears interest at a rate of 10% and has a six-month maturity. In August 2021, the note was extended six months and the interest rate was increased to 12%. The unpaid principal is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at the conversion price. The conversion price shall be the less of 90% of the lowest trading price during the previous twenty (20) trading day period ending on the issuance date, or during the previous twenty (20) trading day period ending on date of conversion of this note. The Company issued the debt holder 266,667 common shares as a commitment fee. Due to the variable conversion feature the note conversion feature was bifurcated from the note and recorded as a derivative liability. The day one derivative liability of $95,715 was recorded as a discount on the convertible notes payable. On February 9, 2022, the Company extended the maturity to May 10, 2022. In consideration of the extension, the Company issued the debt holder 180,000 shares of common stock valued at $54,000. The incremental value of the debt modification of $54,000 will be recorded over the remaining life of the note ending May 10, 2022. On May 11, 2022, the Company agreed to a second amendment to extend the maturity of the AJB note to August 10, 2022. In consideration for the extension, the Company issued 233,334 shares of common stock at a price of $0.30 per share for a total value of $70,000. The incremental value of the debt modification of $70,000 will be recorded over the remaining life of the note ending August 10, 2022. On August 9, 2022, the Company agreed to a third amendment to extend the maturity of the AJB note to November 9, 2022. In consideration for the extension, the Company issued 233,334 shares of common stock at a price of $0.24 per share for a total value of $56,000. The incremental value of the debt modification of $56,000 will be recorded over the remaining life of the note ending November 9, 2022. Th AJB Convertible Note is due and payable in November 2023. In January 2023, the Note was extended to August 11, 2023 and is currently past due. In consideration for the extension, the principal amount of the note was increased by $10,000. The incremental value of the debt modification of $10,000 will be recorded as a debt discount and amortized over the remaining life of the note ending August 11, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company amortized $10,000 of debt discount. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repaid $100,000 of principal on this note. On January 2, 2024, GEM, a related party, assumed the debt from AJB Capital Investments, LLC. For consideration for the assumption of debt, the Company issued 250,000 shares of common stock at $0.0768 per share for total of $19,200 to GEM, for the assumption of the AJB convertible note.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the total derivative liability on the above note was adjusted to a fair value of $95,662. The fair value of the conversion option was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions during the period: fair value of stock $0.12, volatility of 232.85% based on a comparable company peer group, expected term of 0.50 years, risk-free rate of 5.38% and a dividend yield of 0%.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the balance on the loan was $110,000, with accrued interest of $36,378.

Basis of Presentation

 

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While we believe that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our 100% owned subsidiaries, Clearwater and M Gold. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

  

Net Loss per Common Share

Net Loss per Common Share

 

We compute basic net loss per common share by dividing our net loss attributable to common shareholders by our weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Computation of diluted net loss per common share adds the weighted-average number of potential common shares outstanding to the weighted-average common shares outstanding, as calculated for basic net loss per share, except for instances in which there is a net loss. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, 72,000 stock options, 117,500 warrants, and 2,213,200 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, 72,000 stock options, 117,500 warrants, and 2,812,471 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt under ASC 470, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments under ASC 815. The Company applies the guidance in ASC 815-40-35-12 to determine the order in which each convertible instrument would be evaluated for derivative classification. The Company’s sequencing policy is to evaluate for reclassification contracts with the earliest maturity date first.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our consolidated financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At March 31, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of $1,870,028, we had not yet generated any significant revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $21,124,043. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due, of which there can be no assurance.

 

We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders, or equity financing from the sale of our common stock but cannot assure that any future financing will occur.
