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 of our international assets and plan to advance our recently acquired Idaho Gold project towards resource definition and eventual development, and possibly to acquire additional mineral rights and conduct additional exploration, development and permitting activities. Our mineral lease payments, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2021 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, 2020. On July 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire Clearwater Gold Mining Corporation (“Clearwater”) which owns certain unpatented mining claims in Idaho County, Idaho. The Company 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. On August 25, 2020 the Company, formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, M Gold Royalty (“M Gold”), to expand into the royalty business. M Gold Royalty will engage in organically generating royalties derived from a portfolio of mineral property interests in North America. Royalties from this portfolio will be complemented by royalties from selected acquisitions as well as income from other strategic investments. Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our 100% owned subsidiary, 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”). 7 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021, 72,000 of stock options, 4 23,635 of warrants, and 1,260,338 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, 72,000 of stock options, 2,038,635 of warrants, 242,269 shares issuable from Series A Preferred Stock and 990,978 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 September 30, 2021, we had a working capital deficit of $ 1,299,535 , we had not yet generated any significant revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $ 17,781,107 . 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. 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 than any future financings will occur. Note 3 – Mineral Rights and Properties Center Star Gold Mine On July 1, 2020, the Company 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 (“Center Star”) near Elk City, Idaho. As a result of the Clearwater acquisition, Gregory Schifrin, the sole shareholder of Clearwater, was appointed to serve as a member of the Company’s Board on July 1, 2020. In consideration for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Clearwater, the Company has agreed to pay Clearwater’s sole shareholder 1,000,000 shares of Magellan common stock, $125,000 convertible note and $25,000 in cash. The 1,000,000 shares are to be issued to the shareholder on and under the terms as follows: 250,000 shares at the time of closing, 250,000 shares at the time the Center Mine receives its permit to reopen the main portal of the mine, 250,000 shares at the point the main portal has been reopened and 250,000 shares two-years from closing concurrent the pay-off of the $125,000 convertible note. As of September 30, 2021, the total purchase price for the Clearwater was determined to be $1,000,000 which consisted of $ 12,500 cash paid, $ 12,500 accrued in accounts payable – related party, a $ 125,000 convertible promissory note, and 1,000,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $ 850,000 . The Company concluded the transaction qualified as an asset acquisition and all such acquisition costs have been capitalized. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $ 193,505 and $ 112,968 in capitalized development cost to develop gold resources at Center Star, respectively. 8 Note 4 – Disposition of Business Mexico Operations On March 3, 2017 the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Rose Petroleum plc (“Rose”), a multi-asset natural resource business, to purchase an operating floatation plant that also includes a precious metals leach circuit and associated assets, licenses and agreements (together, the “SDA Mill”) located in the State of Nayarit, Mexico. Prior to closing, all of the assets and operations related to the SDA Mill were transferred to a newly incorporated entity, Minerales Vane 2 S.A. de C.V. (“Minerales Vane 2”). Effective November 30, 2017, the Company’s newly incorporated wholly owned subsidiary, Magellan Acquisition Corporation (“MAC”), acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Minerales Vane 2 (“MV2”). Effective March 31, 2020 the Company entered into an Agreement to Accept Collateral in Full Satisfaction of Obligations (the “Agreement”) with certain holders of Promissory Notes (the “Lenders”) due December 31, 2019 (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1.05 million. The Company is indebted under the Notes to the Lenders and the Company’s obligations to the Lenders are secured by a Stock Pledge and Security Agreement covering 100 shares of common stock of Magellan Acquisition Corporation and one (1) share of MV2 (the “Collateral”) held under a Collateral Agent Agreement. Magellan Acquisition Corp. and MV2 own the SDA Mill and El Dorado prospect in Nayarit, Mexico. The Notes matured on December 31, 2019 and remain unpaid and in default. The Lenders have accelerated the Company’s indebtedness. Pursuant to terms set forth in the Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to accept the Collateral in full satisfaction of the Notes and unconditionally and irrevocably waive any entitlement or right to receive payment of (i) the initial 10% Financing Fee included in the principal amount of the Notes, (ii) the 5% Rollover Fee agreed to in an Allonge and Modification Agreement. The effective date of the Agreement was March 31, 2020. Silver District On July 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase agreement with Tri Power Resources, LLC to sell 1,000 shares representing 100% ownership of Gulf+Western Industries, Inc (“Gulf+Western”) to Tri Power in consideration for the return and cancellation of 50,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock with a stated value of $10 per share. John Gibbs, a majority shareholder in the Company, is the Managing Member and Chief Executive Officer of Tri Power Resources, LLC. Due to the related party nature of the above transactions, the gain of $ 206,860 associated with the disposals were recorded to additional paid in capital. Summary The agreements qualify as a discontinued operation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As a result, operating results and cash flows related to the Gulf+Western, MAC and MV2 operations have been reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and consolidated statements of cash flows. Schedule of discontinued operations September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020 Revenue $ – $ – Cost of sales – – Exploration costs – – General and administrative expenses – ( 31,599 ) Operating loss – ( 31,599 ) Other expense – – Net loss from discontinued operations $ – $ ( 31,599 ) 9 Note 5 – 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 following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the Company’s estimated level within the fair value hierarchy of those assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020: Schedule of fair value measurements on a recurring basis Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair value at September 30, 2021 Liabilities: Derivative liability $ – $ – $ 118,084 $ 118,084 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair value at December 31, 2020 Liabilities: Derivative liability $ – $ – $ – $ – There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the period.

Note 7 – Convertible Note Payable and Derivative Liability Series 2019A 10% Unsecured Convertible Notes In 2019, the Company sold $ 135,000 of Series 2019A 10 % Unsecured Convertible Notes. The purchase price of the Note is equal to the principal amount of the Note. The Series 2019A Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $ 1.00 during the life of the Note. The lenders were issued 100,000 common stock warrants with an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The Company evaluated the conversion option and concluded a beneficial conversion feature was present at issuance. The Company recognized the beneficial conversion feature and relative fair value of the warrants as a debt discount and additional paid in capital in August and December 2019. The $ 135,000 debt discount is amortized over the term of the loan. The Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears.
