−Removed: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
−Removed: Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure
−Removed: Controls and Procedures:
−Removed: We maintain disclosure controls and procedures
−Removed: that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
−Removed: reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms, and
−Removed: that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including Michael Lavigne, our Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate,
−Removed: to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
−Removed: Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits
−Removed: of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.
−Removed: Our management, with the participation of our
−Removed: CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
−Removed: covered by this report.
−Removed: Based upon this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective
−Removed: as of such date as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting due to lack of segregation of duties,
−Removed: a limited corporate governance structure, and lack of a formal review process that includes multiple levels of review as discussed in
−Removed: Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
−Removed: While we strive to segregate duties as much as
−Removed: practicable, there is an insufficient volume of transactions at this point in time to justify additional full time staff.
−Removed: We believe that
−Removed: this is typical in many exploration stage companies.
−Removed: We may not be able to fully remediate the material weakness until we commence mining
−Removed: operations at which time we would expect to hire more staff.
−Removed: We will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional
−Removed: Changes in Internal Control Over Financial
−Removed: There were no changes in our internal control
−Removed: over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably
−Removed: likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
