−Removed: WHICH COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE INDICATED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.
−Removed: AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK INVOLVES
−Removed: A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK.
−Removed: YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS BEFORE DECIDING TO INVEST IN OUR COMPANY.
−Removed: IF ANY OF THE
−Removed: FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCUR, OUR BUSINESS, FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND PROSPECTS FOR GROWTH WOULD LIKELY SUFFER.

−Removed: Risks Related to Capital Structure
−Removed: The Common Stock is currently quoted on the Pink
−Removed: tier of OTC Markets Group Inc., an over-the-counter quotation system, under the symbol “GTVI.” There is, however, currently
−Removed: no trading market for the Common Stock and there is no assurance that a regular trading market will ever develop.
−Removed: The trading price of
−Removed: the Company’s securities could be subject to wide fluctuations, in response to quarterly variations in its operating results, announcements
−Removed: by the Company or others, developments affecting it, and other events or factors.
−Removed: In addition, the stock market has experienced extreme
−Removed: price and volume fluctuations in recent years.
−Removed: These fluctuations have had a substantial effect on the market prices for many companies,
−Removed: often unrelated to the operating performance of such companies, and may adversely affect the market prices of the securities Such risks
−Removed: could have an adverse effect on the stock’s future liquidity.
−Removed: If our business plan is not successful,
−Removed: the Company may not be able to continue operations as a going concern and shareholders may lose their entire investment in the Company.
−Removed: As discussed in the notes to the Company’s
−Removed: financial statements included in this Report, as of December 31, 2022, since inception the Company has incurred cumulative losses of $7,430,676
−Removed: and as of December 31, 2022, had a working capital deficiency of $177,761 which may cast significant doubt regarding the Company’s
−Removed: ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: The Company does not generate material cash flows from operations and accordingly, the Company
−Removed: will need to raise additional funds through future issuance of securities.
−Removed: Although the Company has been successful in raising funds in
−Removed: the past, there can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise sufficient funds in the future, in which case the Company may be
−Removed: unable to meet its obligations as they come due in the normal course of business.
−Removed: The Company has not determined whether any of its properties
−Removed: contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.
−Removed: It is not possible to predict whether financing efforts will be successful
−Removed: or if the Company will attain a profitable level of operations.
−Removed: Should the Company be unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities
−Removed: in the normal course of business, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts on the statement of financial
−Removed: If the Company fails to raise sufficient capital,
−Removed: it will have to explore other financing activities to provide it with the liquidity and capital resources to meet its working capital
−Removed: requirements and to make capital investments in connection with ongoing operations.
−Removed: The Company cannot give assurance that it will be
−Removed: able to secure the necessary capital when needed.
−Removed: The Company’s independent auditor included an explanatory paragraph on the financial
−Removed: statements emphasizing to the readers of the audit report that there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
−Removed: going concern.
−Removed: The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon it being able to generate cash flow sufficient
−Removed: to fund operations and reducing operating expenses.
−Removed: The Company’s business plans may not be successful in addressing cash flow issues.
−Removed: If the Company cannot continue as a going concern, its shareholders may lose their entire investment in it.
−Removed: You may experience dilution of your ownership
−Removed: interests because of the future issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable
−Removed: for Common Stock or preferred stock.
−Removed: In the future, the Company may issue authorized
−Removed: but previously unissued equity securities, resulting in the dilution of the ownership interests of present stockholders.
−Removed: is authorized to issue an aggregate of 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
−Removed: Additional shares
−Removed: of Common Stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock may be issued in connection with hiring
−Removed: or retaining employees, future acquisitions, future sales of securities for capital raising purposes, or for other business purposes.
−Removed: future issuance of any such additional shares of Common Stock may create downward pressure on the trading price of Common Stock.
−Removed: The Company does
−Removed: not have a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
−Removed: Until it does, or the Company becomes subject to Section
−Removed: 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will be a “voluntary filer.”
−Removed: The Company is not currently
−Removed: required under Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act to file periodic reports with the SEC.
−Removed: It has in the past voluntarily elected
−Removed: to file some or all of these reports to ensure that sufficient information about it is publicly available to its stockholders and potential
−Removed: Until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, it is a “voluntary filer”
−Removed: and is currently considered a non-reporting issuer under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: The Company will not be required to file reports under Section
−Removed: 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act until the earlier to occur of:
−Removed: (i) the registration of a class of securities under Section 12 of the
−Removed: Exchange Act, which would be required if the Company lists a class of securities on a national securities exchange or if it meets the
−Removed: size requirements set forth in Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, or which it may voluntarily elect to undertake at an earlier date;
−Removed: (ii) the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”)
−Removed: relating to Common Stock.
−Removed: Until the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements under either Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange
−Removed: Act, it is not subject to the SEC’s proxy rules, and large holders of its capital stock will not be subject to beneficial ownership
−Removed: reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 16 of the Exchange Act and their related rules.
−Removed: As a result, the Company’s stockholders
−Removed: and potential investors may not have available to them as much or as robust information as they may have if and when it becomes subject
−Removed: to those requirements.
−Removed: In addition, if the Company does not register under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, and remain a “voluntary
−Removed: filer”, it could cease filing annual, quarterly or current reports under the Exchange Act.
−Removed: Share of Common
−Removed: Stock are subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC, and the trading market in the Company’s securities is limited,
−Removed: which makes transactions in its stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in its stock.
−Removed: Rule 15g-9 under the
−Removed: Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to the Company, as any equity security
−Removed: that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
−Removed: For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
−Removed: (a) that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account
−Removed: for transactions in penny stocks;
−Removed: and (b) the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting
−Removed: forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
−Removed: In order to approve a
−Removed: person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
−Removed: (a) obtain financial information and investment experience
−Removed: objectives of the person;
−Removed: and (b) make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and
−Removed: the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny
−Removed: The broker or dealer
−Removed: must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock
−Removed: market, which, in highlight form:
−Removed: (a) sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination;
−Removed: the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
−Removed: Generally, brokers may be less willing
−Removed: to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules.
−Removed: This may make it more difficult for investors to
−Removed: dispose of shares of Common Stock and may cause a decline in the market value of the Company’s stock.
−Removed: Disclosure also has to
−Removed: be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable
−Removed: to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available
−Removed: to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions.
−Removed: Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information
−Removed: for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
−Removed: Because the Company
−Removed: does not intend to pay any cash dividends on share of Common Stock, its stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares
−Removed: unless they sell them.
−Removed: The Company intends to
−Removed: retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of its business.
−Removed: The Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends
−Removed: on share of Common Stock in the foreseeable future.
−Removed: Unless the Company pays dividends, its stockholders will not be able to receive a
−Removed: return on their shares unless they sell them.
−Removed: The Company cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able to sell shares when they
−Removed: desire to do so.
−Removed: The Company’s principal stockholders
−Removed: and management own a significant percentage of Common Stock and will be able to exercise significant influence over matters subject to
−Removed: stockholder approval.
−Removed: As of January 23,
−Removed: 2023, the Company’s executive officers, directors and principal stockholders, together with its other affiliates, owned approximately
−Removed: 85.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock.
−Removed: Accordingly, these stockholders will be
−Removed: able to exert a significant degree of influence over the management and affairs of the Company and over matters requiring stockholder
−Removed: approval, including the election of the directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.
−Removed: This concentration of ownership
−Removed: could have the effect of entrenching Company management or the Board, delaying or preventing a change in control or otherwise discouraging
−Removed: a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of the Company, which in turn could have a material and adverse effect on the fair
−Removed: market value of Common Stock.
−Removed: Risks Associated with Mining
−Removed: It is uncertain that the Company’s
−Removed: mineral properties contain any proven or probable reserve, nor can the Company provide such assurance, but its business is highly dependent
−Removed: on the existence of the mineral property.
−Removed: As all the Company’s mineral properties
−Removed: are in the exploration stage, there is no assurance that it can establish the existence of any mineral reserves on any of its properties
−Removed: in commercially exploitable quantities.
−Removed: Until the Company can do so, it cannot earn any revenues from operations and if it does not do
−Removed: so, it will lose all of the funds that were expended on exploration.
−Removed: If the Company does not discover any mineral reserves in a commercially
−Removed: exploitable quantity, its business could fail.
−Removed: The Company has not established that its mineral
−Removed: properties contain any proven or probable reserves, nor can there be any assurance that it will be able to do so.
−Removed: If the Company fails
−Removed: to establish any proven or probable reserve, the business could fail.
−Removed: Due to the speculative characteristics of
−Removed: the mine exploration business, there is substantial risk that the Company will not find sufficient commercially exploitable minerals and
−Removed: fail in its business.
−Removed: The Company cannot evaluate its success rate on
−Removed: the CuMo Project.
−Removed: The search for valuable minerals as a business is perilous.
−Removed: The Company may not find commercially exploitable mineral
−Removed: reserves or other valuable minerals in its mineral property.
−Removed: Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial
−Removed: The expenditure to be made by the Company on exploration programs may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of ore.
−Removed: The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays encountered in
−Removed: the exploration of the mineral properties the Company plans to undertake.
−Removed: Issues such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions
−Removed: are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts.
−Removed: In such a case, the Company would need help
−Removed: to complete its business plan.
−Removed: Due to the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, the business may incur liability or damages.
−Removed: Even if the Company does eventually discover
−Removed: a mineral reserve on one or more of its properties, there can be no assurance that it will be able to develop such properties into producing
−Removed: mines and extract those resources.
−Removed: Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are
−Removed: explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.
−Removed: The commercial viability of an established mineral
−Removed: deposit will depend on several factors, including, by way of example, the size, grade, and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the
−Removed: proximity of the resource to infrastructures such as a smelter or processing facilities, power, and water, roads and a point for shipping,
−Removed: available workforce, government regulation, successful permitting, proximity to markets and consumers, and market prices.
−Removed: Most of these
−Removed: factors will be beyond the Company’s control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral
−Removed: resource unprofitable.
−Removed: The Company cannot provide any assurance
−Removed: about financing for additional exploration.
−Removed: If its exploration costs are higher than anticipated, the Company may only be able to complete
−Removed: the exploration program with additional financing.
−Removed: The Company is proceeding with exploration on
−Removed: its CuMo property.
−Removed: The exploration program outlines the budget for completion of the program but there is no assurance that actual costs
−Removed: will not exceed the budgeted costs.
−Removed: Factors that could cause actual costs to exceed budgeted costs include increased prices due to competition
−Removed: for personnel and supplies during the exploration season, unanticipated problems in completing the exploration program and delays due
−Removed: to weather or other factors experienced in completing the exploration program.
−Removed: Increases in exploration costs could result in the Company
−Removed: not being able to carry out its exploration program without additional financing.
−Removed: There is no assurance that the Company would be able
−Removed: to obtain additional financing in this event.
−Removed: If the Company cannot raise sufficient capital
−Removed: after it establishes the existence of a mineral resource on any of its properties in a commercially exploitable quantity, it will not
−Removed: be able to exploit the resource, thus the business could fail.
−Removed: If the Company discovers mineral resources in
−Removed: commercially exploitable quantities on any of its properties, it will then be required to expend substantial sums of money to explore
−Removed: and fully establish the extent of the resources and reserves, develop processes to extract it, and develop extraction and processing facilities
−Removed: and infrastructure.
−Removed: Although the Company may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a significant deposit, there can be no
−Removed: assurance that such a resource or reserve will be large enough to justify commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that the
−Removed: Company will be able to raise the funds required for the development on a timely basis.
−Removed: The business may not succeed if the Company cannot
−Removed: extend the necessary capital or complete the required facilities and infrastructure.
−Removed: Mineral exploration and development are
−Removed: subject to extraordinary operating risks.
−Removed: The Company does not currently insure against these risks.
−Removed: In the event of a cave-in or similar
−Removed: occurrence, its liability may exceed its resources, which would have an adverse impact on the business.
−Removed: Mineral exploration, development, and production
−Removed: involve many risks that even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may be unable to overcome.
−Removed: The Company’s
−Removed: operations will be subject to all the geological, technical, and operating hazards and risks in exploring mineral resources.
−Removed: If the Company
−Removed: discovers a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantity, its operations would be subject to the hazards and risks inherent in
−Removed: the development and production of resources, including liability for pollution, cave-ins, or similar dangers against which it cannot fully
−Removed: insure or against which it may elect not to insure.
−Removed: Any such event could result in work stoppages and property damage, including damage
−Removed: to the environment.
−Removed: The Company does not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating hazards.
−Removed: The payment of any
−Removed: liabilities arising from such occurrences may have a material adverse impact on the business.
−Removed: Mineral prices are subject to dramatic and
−Removed: unpredictable fluctuations.
−Removed: The Company expects to derive revenues from the
−Removed: sale of its mineral resource properties or from the extraction and sale of molybdenum, silver, copper, and rhenium, and associated minerals.
−Removed: The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years.
−Removed: It is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control,
−Removed: including international, economic, and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global
−Removed: or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities, and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction
−Removed: and production methods.
−Removed: The effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic viability of
−Removed: any of the Company’s exploration properties and projects, cannot accurately be predicted.
−Removed: The unpredictable inclement weather may
−Removed: restrict mineral exploration and cause delay or impact on the Company’s mining progress.
−Removed: Access to the mineral property may be restricted
−Removed: between November and April of each year because the period between these months can sometimes feature heavy snow cover, extreme cold,
−Removed: and high winds, which makes it difficult, if not impossible, to carry out exploration and other activities.
−Removed: Visits, tests, and explorations
−Removed: of the mineral property can only be attempted when weather permits such activities.
−Removed: These limitations can result in significant delays
−Removed: in the exploration, mining, and production of commercial minerals.
−Removed: Such delays can cause the business to fail.
−Removed: Risks Related to Regulatory and Permitting
−Removed: Requirements in the Industry the Company Operates
−Removed: Mineral operations are subject to applicable
−Removed: law and government regulation.
−Removed: Even if the Company discovers a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity, applicable laws
−Removed: and regulations could restrict or prohibit the exploitation of that mineral resource.
−Removed: Both mineral exploration and extraction require
−Removed: permits from various federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including
−Removed: those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labor standards, occupational health,
−Removed: waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that the
−Removed: Company will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits or bonds required for the continued exploration of its mineral properties
−Removed: or for the construction and operation of a mine on its properties at economically viable costs.
−Removed: The Company cannot ensure that all its business
−Removed: activities will continue to comply with all material laws and regulations because there may be changes to applicable laws and regulations,
−Removed: and it may not be able to comply with such changes.
−Removed: Further, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain
−Removed: all permits or bonds necessary for its future operations or that it will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms.
−Removed: To the extent such
−Removed: approvals are required and are not accepted, the Company may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with the planned exploration or
−Removed: development of its mineral properties.
−Removed: If the Company is prevented from exploiting any mineral resource that it discovers by a failure
−Removed: to comply with applicable laws and regulations or obtain or to maintain any required permits, the business could fail.
−Removed: Exploration development and exploitation
−Removed: activities are subject to comprehensive regulation and permitting, which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess
−Removed: of what is currently anticipated, causing a material adverse effect on the business.
−Removed: Exploration, development, and exploitation activities
−Removed: are subject to federal, provincial, state, and local laws, regulations, and policies, including laws regulating permitting, bonding, and
−Removed: the removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment.
−Removed: Exploration, development, and exploitation
−Removed: activities are also subject to federal, provincial, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards
−Removed: by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment and other operational activities.
−Removed: Environmental and other legal standards imposed
−Removed: by federal, provincial, state, or local authorities may be changed, and any such changes may prevent the Company from conducting planned
−Removed: activities or increase its costs of doing so, which could have material adverse effects on the business.
−Removed: Moreover, compliance with such
−Removed: laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those currently anticipated, thus causing a material adverse
−Removed: effect on the business.
−Removed: Additionally, the Company may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages that it may
−Removed: not be able to, or elect not to, insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons.
−Removed: Any laws, regulations, or policies
−Removed: of any government body or regulatory agency may be changed, applied, or interpreted that could materially alter and negatively affect
−Removed: the Company’s ability to carry on the business.
−Removed: The Company depends on its senior management
−Removed: team, and the loss of one or more key employees or an inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees could adversely affect
−Removed: the business.
−Removed: The Company’s success depends on the skills,
−Removed: experience, and performance of its Chief Executive Officer, Steven Rudofsky, and other key employees.
−Removed: The effort of the Chief Executive
−Removed: Officer will be important as the Company continues to develop and expand its commercial activities.
−Removed: The loss or incapacity of existing
−Removed: members of the executive management team could negatively impact the Company’s operations if it experiences difficulties in hiring
−Removed: qualified successors.
−Removed: Qualified employees periodically are in great demand and may be unavailable in the time frame required to satisfy
−Removed: business requirements.
−Removed: Expansion of the business could require the Company to employ additional personnel.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that
−Removed: the Company will be able to attract and retain sufficient numbers of skilled employees in the future.
−Removed: The loss of personnel or inability
−Removed: to hire or retain sufficient personnel at competitive rates could impair the growth of the business.
−Removed: The Company also relies on its leadership team
−Removed: in the areas of finance, marketing, services, and general and administrative functions, and on sales.
−Removed: From time to time, there may be
−Removed: changes in the executive management team resulting from the hiring or departure of executives, which could disrupt the business.
−Removed: In addition, in making employment decision, job
−Removed: candidates often consider the value of the equity awards they are to receive in connection with their employment.
−Removed: Volatility in the price
−Removed: of Common Stock might, therefore, adversely affect the Company’s ability to attract or retain highly skilled personnel.
−Removed: the requirement to expense certain stock awards might discourage the Company from granting the size or type of stock awards that job candidates
−Removed: require to join.
−Removed: If the Company fails to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate its current personnel, the business and
−Removed: its future growth prospects could be severely harmed.
−Removed: UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
