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. 7 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 3 – Mineral Rights and Properties 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 15 th 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. 8 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 . 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 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023: Schedule of fair value of liabilities Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair value at March 31, 2024 Liabilities: Derivative liability $ – $ – $ 95,662 $ 95,662 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair value at December 31, 2023 Liabilities: Derivative liability $ – $ – $ 86,443 $ 86,443 9 There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the period.
