NEVADA CANYON GOLD CORP.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on February 27, 2014. The Company is involved in acquiring and exploring mineral properties and royalty interests in Nevada and Idaho. On December 15, 2021, the Company incorporated two subsidiaries, Nevada Canyon LLC and Canyon Carbon LLC. Both subsidiaries were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in a business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties and royalty interests and has not generated or realized any revenues from these business operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Deferred Stock Issuance Costs

 

Deferred stock issuance costs represent amounts paid for legal, consulting, and other offering expenses in conjunction with the future raising of additional capital to be performed within one year. These costs are netted against additional paid-in capital as a cost of the stock issuance upon closing of the respective stock placement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded $39,250 in deferred stock issuance costs which were included in prepaid expenses, as the private placement financing was not closed. As at September 30, 2022, the Company did not have any deferred stock issuance costs which were netted against additional paid-in capital as a cost of stock issued (2021 - $Nil).

Income per Share

 

The Company’s basic income/loss per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing its net income/loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding unvested portion of restricted stock with performance conditions.

 

The Company’s diluted EPS is calculated by dividing its net income/loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Restricted stock with performance conditions is only included in the diluted EPS calculation to the extent that performance conditions have been met at the measurement date. Dilutive effect of the restricted stock is determined using the treasury stock method.

 

At September 30, 2022, the Company had 6,005,000 shares that were issued but restricted under 3-year lock-up and vesting agreements with shareholders. These shares vest in equal annual installments over a 3-year term; during which term the shareholders agreed not to sell, directly or indirectly, or enter into any other transactions involving the Company’s common shares regardless if the shares have vested or not. As at September 30, 2022, the full 6,005,000 unvested shares were excluded from denominator of basic EPS.

 

The outstanding securities at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 that could have a dilutive effect are as follows:

 

           
  

September 30,

2022

  

December 31,

2021

 
Convertible Notes Payable   2,890,404    2,764,815 
Restricted Stock   6,005,000    - 
Total Possible Dilutive Shares   8,895,404    2,764,815 

 

The Company incurred losses for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, therefore the diluted loss per share was not presented.

On December 30, 2021, the Company issued a total of 6,005,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s directors (the “Director Shares”). The Director Shares were issued at par value for a total consideration of $601. In addition to the regular restrictive legend, the release of the Director Shares is subject to the terms and conditions included in 3-year lock-up and vesting agreements (the “Lock-up Agreements”), which contemplate that the Director Shares will vest in equal annual installments over a 3-year term; during which term the shareholders agreed not to sell, directly or indirectly, or enter into any other transactions involving the Company’s common shares regardless if the shares have vested or not.

 

The Company analyzed the issuance of the Director Shares pursuant to the guidance available in ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Based on the guidance, the Company determined that the directors are nonemployees of the Company, however, since they were appointed to the board positions that are expected to be filled by another person whom the shareholders will elect when the current term expires, and the Directors are not expected to provide any additional services, the Director Shares must be accounted for in the same manner as an award granted to an employee. Therefore, the Director Shares are to be valued at the fair market value and stock-based compensation must be recorded as the services are provided over a vesting period of 3 years. The Company determined the fair market value of the shares to be $0.4938 per share, the grant date to be March 18, 2022, the date the Lock-up Agreements were agreed to by the board of directors and the beneficiaries, and the service period commencing on March 18, 2022.

In addition, the Company acquired an option to acquire 100% interest of Target Minerals, Inc’s (“Target”) 1% production royalty on the Olinghouse Project, located in the Olinghouse Mining District, Washoe County, Nevada, and acquired 2% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) on the Palmetto Project (the “Project”), located in Esmeralda County, Nevada.

 

Lazy Claims Property

 

On August 2, 2017, the Company entered into an exploration lease agreement (the “Lazy Claims Agreement”) with Tarsis Resources US Inc. (“Tarsis”), a Nevada corporation, to lease the Lazy Claims, consisting of three claims. The term of the Lazy Claims Agreement is ten years, and is subject to extension for additional two consecutive 10-year terms. Full consideration of the Lazy Claims Agreement consists of the following: an initial cash payment of $1,000 to Tarsis, paid upon the execution of the Lazy Claims Agreement, with $2,000 payable to Tarsis on each subsequent anniversary of the effective date. The Company agreed to pay Tarsis a 2% production royalty (the “Lazy Claims Royalty”) based on the gross returns from the production and sale of minerals from the Lazy Claims. Should the Lazy Claims Royalty payments to Tarsis be in excess of $2,000 per year, the Company will not be required to pay a $2,000 annual minimum payment.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company paid $2,543 (2021 - $2,543) for its mineral property interests in Lazy Claims, of which $2,000 (2021 - $2,000) represented annual minimum payment required under the Lazy Claims Agreement and $543 (2021 - $543) was associated with the annual mining claim fees payable to the Bureau of Land Management (the “BLM”). These fees were recorded as part of the Company’s exploration expenses.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company paid $4,791 (2021 - $Nil) in annual mining claim fees payable to the BLM. These fees were recorded as part of the Company’s exploration expenses.

 

Agai-Pah Property

 

On May 19, 2021, the Company entered into exploration lease with option to purchase agreement (the “Agai-Pah Property Agreement”) with MSM Resource, L.L.C., (“MSM”) a Nevada limited liability Corporation on the Agai-Pah Property, consisting of 20 unpatented mining claims totaling 400 acres, located in Mineral County, Nevada about 10 miles northeast of the town of Hawthorne (the “Agai-Pah Property”). Alan Day, the managing member of MSM, is a director of the Company and a related party.

 

The term of the Agai-Pah Property Agreement commenced on May 19, 2021, and continues for ten years, subject to the Company’s right to extend the Agai-Pah Property Agreement for two additional terms of ten years each, and subject to the Company’s option to purchase the Property.

 

Full consideration of the Agai-Pah Property Agreement consists of the following: (i) an initial cash payment of $20,000 to be paid within 90 days from the execution of the Agai-Pah Property Agreement on May 19, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), and (ii) annual payments of $20,000 to be paid on the anniversary of the Effective Date while the Agai-Pah Property Agreement remains in effect.

NOTE 7 – EQUITY INVESTMENT

 

As at September 30, 2022, the Company’s equity investments consist of 511,750 common shares of Walker River Resources Corp. (“WRR”), (2021 - 1,366,167 shares and warrants to acquire an additional 316,667 WRR common shares). This number of the WRR shares is adjusted to reflect the 6-for-1 share consolidation, which WRR effected on July 25, 2022.

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company exercised its WRR Warrants, which were expiring on July 18, 2022, and acquired an additional 316,667 common shares in the capital of WRR without further consideration.

 

At September 30, 2022, the fair market value of the equity investment was calculated to be $78,403 (2021 - $318,418) based on the market price of WRR Shares at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not sell any WRR Shares. The revaluation of the equity investment in WRR resulted in $40,737 loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 (2021 - $94,775). The loss resulted from the decrease of the market price of WRR Shares from CAD$0.30 per share at June 30, 2022, to CAD$0.21 per share at September 30, 2022. In comparison, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, the market price of WRR Shares decreased from CAD$0.42 per share at June 30, 2021, to CAD$0.36 per share at September 30, 2021.

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold 1,171,083 WRR Shares (2021 – 3,500 WRR Shares) for net proceeds of $614,658 (2021 - $2,152). The Company recorded a net realized gain of $211,530 on the sale of WRR Shares (2021 - $315).

 

12

 

 

The revaluation of the equity investment in WRR Shares resulted in a $163,113 gain for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. The gain resulted from a decrease of the market price of WRR Shares from CAD$0.24 per share at December 31, 2021, to CAD$0.21 per share at September 30, 2022, which was offset by fluctuation in foreign exchange rate between US$ and CAD$. In comparison, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, the market price of WRR Shares decreased from CAD$0.60 per share at December 31, 2020, to CAD$0.36 per share at September 30, 2021, resulting in a loss of $317,364.

 

NOTE 8 – NOTES AND ADVANCES PAYABLE

 

At September 30, 2022, the Company’s liability under notes and advances payable consisted of $1,100 the Company received from WRR as a payment of its vendor payable (2021 - $1,100). The advance is non-interest-bearing, unsecured and due on demand.

 

NOTE 9 – CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company received $980,000 in cash proceeds under the convertible promissory notes financing, in addition, the Company’s existing debt holder agreed to convert $15,064 the Company owed on account of unsecured, non-interest-bearing note payable due on demand into a convertible promissory note for a total of $20,000.

 

The convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) are due in twelve months after their issuances (the “Maturity Date”) and accrue interest at a rate of 15% per annum. At the option of the Note Holder, the Company may either (i) pay the interest quarterly in arrears, or (ii) allow the interest to accrue until the Maturity Date. In addition, at the Company’s sole discretion, the Company may either (i) repay the principal amount of the Notes on the Maturity Date, or (ii) commencing one month from the issue date repay 1/12 of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes in any given month until the Maturity Date. At the option of the Note Holder the Notes can be converted into the Shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.375 per Share, or (ii) a 25% discount to the price per Share in a qualified public offering that occurs subsequent to the issuance of the Notes and results in gross offering proceeds to the Company of at least $5,000,000.

 

The Company determined the embedded beneficial conversion feature present in the Notes to be $663,867, which was recorded as additional paid-in capital. The discount that resulted from the intrinsic value of the Notes is being accreted over a 12-month period based on the implied interest rate calculated on each Note separately.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of Part I of this report include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, the “Reform Act”). The Reform Act provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long as they identify these statements as forward-looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results. All statements, other than statements of historical fact that we make in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “will continue,” “estimates,” “plans,” “projects,” the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean the statement is not forward-looking.

 

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties or other factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. Certain risks, uncertainties or other important factors are detailed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and may be detailed from time to time in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including on Forms 8-K and 10-K.

 

Examples of forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our ability to generate operating cash flows and to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our future products, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include:

 

  management’s plans, objectives and budgets for its future operations and future economic performance;
  capital budget and future capital requirements;
  meeting future capital needs;
  our dependence on management and the need to recruit additional personnel;
  limited trading for our common stock;
  the level of future expenditures;
  impact of recent accounting pronouncements;
  the outcome of regulatory and litigation matters; and
  the assumptions described in this report underlying such forward-looking statements.

 

Actual results and developments may materially differ from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements due to a number of factors, including:

 

  those described in the context of such forward-looking statements;
  future product development and marketing costs;
  the markets of our domestic operations;
  the impact of competitive products and pricing;
  the political, social and economic climate in which we conduct operations; and
  the risk factors described in other documents and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (SEC File No. 333-196075).

 

We operate in an extremely competitive environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and is provided as a supplement to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “Company,” “the Company,” “us,” and “our” refer to Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Nevada Canyon LLC and Canyon Carbon LLC, incorporated in Nevada, unless the context requires otherwise.

 

We intend the following discussion to assist in the understanding of our financial position and our results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. You should refer to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes in conjunction with this discussion.

 

General

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on February 27, 2014, as Tech Foundry Ventures. On July 8, 2016, we changed our name to Nevada Canyon Gold Corp., in order to reflect our current business and strategy. On December 15, 2021, we incorporated two subsidiaries, Nevada Canyon LLC and Canyon Carbon LLC. Both subsidiaries were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada.

 

We are a US-based natural resource company headquartered in Reno, Nevada. The Company has a large, strategic land position and royalties in multiple projects within some of Nevada’s highest-grade historical mining districts. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q our mineral property interests are comprised of the Lazy Claims Property, the Loman Property, and the Agai-Pah Property located in Mineral County, Nevada, the Swales Property located in Elko County, Nevada, and the Belshazzar Property located in Quartzburg mining district, Boise County, Idaho. In addition, we acquired an option to acquire 100% interest of Target Minerals, Inc’s (“Target”) 1% production royalty on the Olinghouse Project, located in the Washoe County, Nevada, and acquired 2% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) on the Palmetto Project, located in Esmeralda County, Nevada.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are presented in US dollars. GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, together with notes thereto, which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our most recent audited consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Revenues

 

We had no revenues for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Due to the exploration rather than the production nature of our business, we do not expect to have significant operating revenue in the foreseeable future.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our operating expenses for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 included exploration costs, general and administrative expenses, professional fees, stock-based compensation, and transfer agent and filing fees. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, our operating expenses increased by $351,755, or 3,591%, to $361,550 as compared to $9,795 for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This change was associated with $316,862 in stock-based compensation we recorded on the par-value shares that we sold to our three directors on December 30, 2021. On March 18, 2022, the Company’s directors entered into 3-year lock-up agreements (the “Lock-up Agreements”), whereby the 6,005,000 shares issued to them vest on an annual basis over a three-year term based on their performance. The stock-based compensation associated with the vested shares is calculated at $0.4938 per share, the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the Lock-up Agreements, being March 18, 2022. Our mineral exploration fees increased by $18,215, and were associated with the annual mining claim fees we paid to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”). Our professional fees increased by $10,758, from $2,500 we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, to $13,258 we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, this increase was associated mainly with $7,752 we incurred on account of Rangeland Carbon Credit Royalties Streaming Opportunity Analysis which was commissioned by Carbon Canyon, and which, as of September 30, 2022, was 85% completed. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $5,909, from $2,828 we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, to $8,737 we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022. Our transfer agent and filing fees remained consistent and increased by $11, from $1,924 we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2021, to $1,935 we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022.

 

On a year-to-date basis, our operating expenses increased by $769,275, or 1,568%, to $818,340 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $49,065 we incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. This change was associated with $675,053 in stock-based compensation we recorded on the par-value shares that we sold to our three directors on December 30, 2021, and was further increased by $61,090 change in our professional fees from $8,500 we incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, to $69,590 we incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase in professional fees was mainly associated with $43,966 we incurred on account of Rangeland Carbon Credit Royalties Streaming Opportunity Analysis which was commissioned by Carbon Canyon, and which, as of September 30, 2022, was 85% completed. Our general and administrative expenses increased from $30,983 we incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, to $41,204 we incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022; our transfer agent and filing fees increased by $4,696 from $7,039 we incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, to $11,735 we incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. In addition, we incurred $20,758 in mineral exploration fees, an increase of $18,215, as compared to $2,543 we incurred in the comparative period ended September 30, 2021. These fees were associated with the annual mining claim fees we paid to the BLM.

Other Items

 

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $40,737 loss on fair value of equity investments (2021 – $94,775). The loss resulted from revaluation of WRR Shares from CAD$0.30 per share at June 31, 2022 (adjusted for six-for-one share consolidation effected by WRR on July 25, 2022), to CAD$0.21 per WRR Share on September 30, 2022, and to a smaller degree from fluctuation of exchange rates between the US and Canadian dollars. We earned $4,397 in interest revenue (2021 - $63). Since part of funds generated from the sale of equity investments are held in Canadian dollars, we incurred $15 loss associated with foreign exchange fluctuation rates (2021 - $13,725). In addition, we recorded $396,143 accretion expense associated with the beneficial conversion discount we recognized on convertible notes payable we issued in September and October of 2021 (2021 - $3) and $1,623 in accrued interest on the convertible notes payable that have reached their maturity (2021 - $Nil).

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $163,113 gain on fair value of equity investments (2021 – $317,364 loss). The gain resulted from revaluation of WRR Shares from CAD$0.24 per share at December 31, 2021, to CAD$0.21 per WRR Share on September 30, 2022, and to a smaller degree from fluctuation of exchange rates between the US and Canadian dollars. We earned $5,285 in interest revenue (2021 - $694). Since part of funds generated from the sale of equity investments are held in Canadian dollars, we incurred $982 loss associated with foreign exchange fluctuation rates (2021 - $4,683 gain). During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $211,530 gain (2021 - $315) on equity investments which was associated with the sale of 1,171,000 WRR Shares for net proceeds of $614,658 (2021 – 3,500 WRR Shares for net proceeds of $2,152). In addition, we recorded $697,535 accretion expense associated with the beneficial conversion discount we recognized on convertible notes payable we issued in September and October of 2021 (2021 - $3) and $1,623 in accrued interest on the convertible notes payable that have reached their maturity (2021 - $Nil).

 

Net Loss

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred net loss of $795,671, as compared to net loss of $118,235 we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2021. This change mainly resulted from $316,862 in stock-based compensation we recorded during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022 (2021 - $Nil), $396,143 accretion expense associated with the beneficial conversion discount we recognized on convertible notes payable we issued in September and October of 2021 (2021 - $3), and $40,737 loss on revaluation of our equity investments in WRR Shares, as opposed to $94,775 loss we recognized in the comparative period.

 

On a year-to-date basis, our loss increased by $777,812 from $360,740 we incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, to $1,138,552 we incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. This change mainly resulted from $675,053 in stock-based compensation we recorded during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 (2021 - $Nil), and $697,535 accretion expense associated with the beneficial conversion discount we recognized on convertible notes payable we issued in September and October of 2021 (2021 - $3), which were in part offset by $163,113 gain on revaluation of our equity investments in WRR Shares, as opposed to $317,364 loss we recognized in the comparative period, and $211,530 gain we recognized on the sale of WRR Shares during the same period (2021 - $315).

As of September 30, 2022, we had a cash balance of $1,298,154 and working capital deficit of $962,353 with cash flows used in operations totaling $326,786 for the period then ended. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our operations were funded with cash on hand. The cash that we had on hand at September 30, 2022, was generated by selling WRR Shares and from the issuance of convertible notes payable due in 12 months, which we issued in September and October 2021. Our operating activities did not generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy our cash requirements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. Due to the exploration rather than the production nature of our business, there is no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from our operations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from our operations to repay the amounts owing when due, we may be required to continue selling our equity investments in WRR or raise additional financing by borrowing funds or issuing our equity. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional capital.

Net cash used in operating activities

 

Our net cash used in operating activities increased by $269,019, or 466%, to $326,786 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared with $57,767 for the comparative period in 2021. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we used $203,098 to cover our cash operating costs, $26,122 to decrease our accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $27,000 to decrease amounts due to our related parties, and $70,566 to increase our prepaid expenses, of which $39,250 were associated with prepaid share issuance costs related to our offering of up to 12,500,000 units (the “Units”) of our securities pursuant to Regulation A. Each Unit will be comprised of one common share (a “common share”), and one common share purchase warrant (a “warrant”) to purchase one additional common share (a “warrant share”) at an exercise price of $1.20 per warrant share, subject to certain adjustments, over a 24-month exercise period following the date of issuance of the warrants.

 

Our net cash used in operating activities increased by $16,925, or 41%, to $57,767 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared with $40,842 for the comparative period in 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we used $48,371 to cover our cash operating costs, $7,000 to decrease our accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and $2,396 to increase our prepaid expenses.

 

Adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $163,113 gain on revaluation of fair value of equity investments associated with WRR Shares and recorded $211,530 gain on sale of 1,171,083 WRR Shares for net proceeds of $614,658 (CAD$769,400). In addition, we recognized $982 loss on foreign exchange fluctuations associated with cash we held in high-interest savings account at a major Canadian bank, recorded $697,535 in accretion expense associated with the discount on the convertible notes payable we issued in September and October 2021, and accrued $1,623 in interest expense on the convertible notes that had reached their maturity. In addition, we recorded $675,053 in stock-based compensation associated with the par-value shares we issued to our directors on December 30, 2021. We also used $65,096 cash to pay interest accrued on a convertible note payable.

 

19

 

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $317,364 loss on revaluation of fair value of equity investments associated with WRR Shares and WRR Warrants and recorded $315 gain on sale of 3,500 WRR Shares for net proceeds of $2,152 (CAD$2,659). In addition, we recognized $4,683 gain on foreign exchange fluctuations associated with cash we held in high-interest savings account at a major Canadian bank, and recorded $3 in accretion expense associated with the discount on the convertible notes payable we issued in September 2021.

 

Net cash generated by investing activities

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, we generated $614,658 on the sale of 1,171,083 WRR Shares. During the same period, we used $410,000 to acquire our mineral property interests.

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, we generated $2,152 from the sale of 3,500 WRR Shares

 

Net cash provided by financing activities

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, we received $400 from the sale of 4,000,000 par-value shares to two of our directors, which shares were considered sold on December 30, 2021, however, we received cash payment from the directors subsequent to December 31, 2021.

 

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, we received $150,000 on issuance of convertible notes payable due 12 months from the issuance date (the “Notes”). The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 15% per annum and are unsecured. At the option of the Note Holder, the Company may either (i) pay the interest quarterly in arrears, or (ii) allow the interest to accrue until the Maturity Date. In addition, at the Company’s sole discretion, the Company may either (i) repay the principal amount of the Notes on the Maturity Date, or (ii) commencing one month from the issue date repay 1/12 of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes in any given month until the Maturity Date. At the option of the Note Holder the Notes can be converted into the Shares of the Company at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) $0.375 per Share, or (ii) a 25% discount to the price per Share in a qualified public offering that occurs subsequent to the sale of the Notes and results in gross offering proceeds to the Company of at least $5,000,000.

 

Going Concern

 

At September 30, 2022, we had a working capital deficit of $962,353 and cash on hand of $1,298,154, which is sufficient enough to support our current plan of operations for the next 12-month period. Our equity investments include 511,750 WRR Shares (3,070,500 pre-roll back WRR Shares). We have been using WRR Shares and are planning to continue to use them as a source of additional cash inflow. To support our operations beyond the 12-month period we may require additional funds; therefore, we continue to actively pursue other means of financing our operations through equity and/or debt financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to procure funds sufficient to support our day-to-day operations and exploration programs. If operating difficulties or other factors (many of which are beyond our control) delay our realization of revenues or cash flows from operations, we may be limited in our ability to pursue our business plan. Moreover, if our resources from obtaining additional capital or cash flows from operations, once we commence them, do not satisfy our operational needs or if unexpected expenses arise due to unanticipated pressures or if we decide to expand our business plan beyond its currently anticipated level or otherwise, we will require additional financing to fund our operations, in addition to anticipated cash generated from our operations. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. In a worst-case scenario, we might not be able to fund our operations or to remain in business, which could result in a total loss of our stockholders’ investment. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly issued securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past fiscal quarter.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we used $20,000 to make an initial cash payment to acquire Swales Property, $20,000 to make the first anniversary payment on Agai-Pah Property, and further $20,000 to make the first anniversary payment on Belshazzar Property. In addition, we made a $350,000 one-time cash payment to acquire 2% NSR on Palmetto Project.

Lazy Claims Property

 

We acquired the Lazy Claims Property through an exploration lease agreement with Tarsis Resources US Inc. (“Tarsis”), a Nevada corporation, dated for reference August 2, 2017 (the “Lazy Claims Agreement”). The Lazy Claims Agreement grants us a right to conduct exploratory work for minerals on three Lazy Claims totaling 60 acres located in Mineral County, Nevada about 18 miles southeast of the town of Hawthorne (the “Lazy Claims”).

 

The term of the Lazy Claims Agreement is ten years and is subject to extension for an additional two consecutive 10-year terms. Full consideration for the Lazy Claims Agreement consists of the following: an initial cash payment of $1,000 to Tarsis, which we paid upon the execution of the Lazy Claims Agreement, with $2,000 payable to Tarsis on each subsequent anniversary of the effective date. We agreed to pay Tarsis a 2% production royalty (the “Lazy Claims Royalty”) based on the gross returns from the production and sale of minerals from the Lazy Claims Property. Should the Lazy Claims Royalty payments to Tarsis be in excess of $2,000 per year, we will not be required to pay a $2,000 annual minimum payment.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 we paid $2,543 for our mineral property interests in Lazy Claims, of which $2,000 represented annual minimum payment required under the Lazy Claims Agreement and $543 was associated with the annual mining claim fees payable to the Bureau of Land Management (the “BLM”). These fees were recorded as part of our exploration expenses.

 

Loman Property

 

In December 2019 we acquired 27 unpatented mining claims for a total of $10,395 from a third-party (the “Loman Property”). Due to certain regulatory restrictions associated with COVID-19 pandemic, the Company was required to delay the re-registration of the Loman Property claims into the Company’s name. The Loman claims were transferred and re-registered into the Company’s name in the fourth quarter of the fiscal 2021.

Olinghouse Project

 

On December 17, 2021, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nevada Canyon, LLC, entered into an Option to Purchase Agreement (the Olinghouse Agreement”) with Target Minerals, Inc (“Target”), to acquire 100% interest of Target’s 1% production royalty on the Olinghouse Project.

 

The Company has the exclusive right and option (the “Olinghouse Purchase Option”), exercisable at any time during the Olinghouse Option Period, as further defined below, at its sole discretion, to acquire 100% of a 1% production royalty from the net smelter returns on all minerals and products produced from certain properties comprising the Olinghouse Project.

On January 27, 2022, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Nevada Canyon, LLC, entered into a Royalty Purchase Agreement (the “Royalty Agreement”) with Smooth Rock Ventures, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Smooth Rock Ventures Corp. (“Smooth Rock”), to acquire a 2% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) on the Palmetto Project (the “Palmetto Project”), located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. Alan Day, our director, is also a director and CEO of Smooth Rock.

 

To acquire the 2% NSR on the Palmetto Project, Nevada Canyon agreed to pay Smooth Rock a one-time cash payment of $350,000, which was paid on February 7, 2022.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

None.

 

Use of Estimates

 

Areas where significant estimation judgments are made and where actual results could differ materially from these estimates are the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources and the classification of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.

 

We evaluate impairment of our long-lived assets by applying the provisions of ASC No. 360. In applying those provisions, we have not recognized any impairment charge on our long-lived assets during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, there has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls

 

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;

 

24

 

 

  provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with the GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
     
  provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Management does not expect that our internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
