NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
APRIL
30, 2022 |
NOTE
1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Star
Gold Corp. (the Company) was initially incorporated as Elan Development, Inc., in the State of Nevada on December 8, 2006.
The Company was originally organized to explore mineral properties in British Columbia, Canada but the Company is currently focusing
on gold, silver and other base metal-bearing properties in Nevada.
The
Companys core business consists of assembling and/or acquiring land packages and mining claims the Company believes have potential
mining reserves, and expending capital to explore these claims by drilling, and performing geophysical work or other exploration work
deemed necessary. The business is a high-risk business as there is no guarantee that the Companys exploration work will ultimately
discover or produce any economically viable minerals.
NOTE
2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
This
summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements
and notes are representations of the Companys management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These financial
statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern
As
shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception. As of April 30, 2022, the
Company has limited financial resources with which to achieve the objectives and obtain profitability and positive cash flows. As shown
in the accompanying balance sheets of April 30, 2022, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $12,194,988. On April 30, 2022, the Companys
working capital was $149,615. The lack of sufficient working capital to meet current obligations and continuing losses raises substantial
doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary
in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. Achievement of the Companys objectives will be dependent upon the ability
to obtain additional financing, to locate profitable mining properties and generate revenue from current and planned business operations,
and control costs. The Company plans to fund its future operations by joint venturing or obtaining additional financing from investors
and/or lenders.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements,
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring the use of management assumptions
and estimates relate to long-lived asset impairments and stock-based compensation valuation. Actual results could differ from these estimates
and assumptions and could have a material effect on the Companys reported financial position and results of operations.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Companys operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological and other
risks associated with operating an emerging exploration mining business, including the potential risk of business failure.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
For
the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months
or less when acquired to be cash equivalents.
STAR
GOLD CORP. |
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
APRIL
30, 2022 |
Reclamation
bond
The
Reclamation bond constitutes cash held as collateral for the faithful performance of the bond securing exploration permits and are accounted
for on a cost basis.
Financial
Instruments
The
Companys financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, reclamation bond, promissory note-related party and convertible
promissory notes – related parties.
Cash
and cash equivalents, reclamation bonds and promissory note – related party are accounted for on a cost basis, which, due to the
short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at April 30, 2022.
The
fair value of convertible promissory notes at April 30, 2022 was $54,000 based on the closing price of the Companys common stock.
Fair
Value Measures
When
required to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective
evidence surrounding the inputs used. The Company determines the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements
in their entirety fall. The categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant
to the fair value measurement. Level 1 uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 uses significant
other observable inputs, and Level 3 uses significant unobservable inputs. The amount of the total gains or losses for the period are
included in earnings that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still
held at the reporting date.
At
April 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no assets or liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis.
Mining
Interests and Mineral Exploration Expenditures
Exploration
costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. The Company capitalizes costs for acquiring and leasing mining properties and expenses
costs to maintain mineral rights as incurred. Should a property reach the production stage, capitalized costs would be amortized using
the units-of-production method based on periodic estimates of ore reserves. Mining interests are periodically assessed for impairment
of value, and any subsequent losses are charged to operations at the time of impairment. If a property is abandoned or sold, its capitalized
costs are charged to operations.
Pre-development
Expenditures
Pre-development
activities involve costs incurred in the exploration stage that may ultimately benefit production which are expensed due to
the lack of evidence of economic development which is necessary to demonstrate future recoverability of these costs.
Equipment
Equipment
is stated at cost. Significant improvements are capitalized and depreciated. Depreciation of equipment is calculated using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations
as incurred. Gains or losses on disposition or retirement of property and equipment are recognized in operating expenses.

GOLD CORP. |
NOTES
TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
APRIL
30, 2022 |
Reclamation
and Remediation
The
Companys operations are subject to standards for mine reclamation that have been established by various governmental agencies.
In the period in which the Company incurs a contractual obligation for the retirement of tangible long-lived assets, the Company will
record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability. A corresponding asset will also be recorded and depreciated over
the life of the asset. After the initial measurement of an asset retirement obligation, the liability will be adjusted at the end of
each reporting period to reflect changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. To date, the Company has not incurred
any contractual obligation requiring recording either a liability or associated asset.
Impairment
of Long-lived Assets
The
Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate
that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable. The Company determines impairment by comparing the undiscounted net future
cash flows estimated to be generated by its assets to their respective carrying amounts. If impairment is deemed to exist, the assets
will be written down to fair value.
Share-based
Compensation
The
Company estimates the fair value of options to purchase Common Stock using the Black-Scholes model, which requires the input of some
subjective assumptions. These assumptions include estimating the length of time employees will retain their vested stock options before
exercising them (expected life), the estimated volatility of the Companys Common Stock price over the expected term
(volatility), employee forfeiture rate, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield. Changes in the subjective assumptions
can materially affect the estimate of fair value of stock-based compensation. Options granted have a ten-year maximum term and varying
vesting periods as determined by the Board of Directors. The value of shares of Common Stock awards is determined based on the closing
price of the Companys stock on the date of the award.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. The liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of (i) temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities and their basis for tax purposes and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for tax purposes. Deferred tax
assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when management concludes that it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized in a future period.
The
Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon its evaluation of
the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood
that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy is to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized
upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions
where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain
reclassifications have been made to the 2021 financial statements in order to conform to the 2022 presentation. These reclassifications
have no effect on net loss, total assets or accumulated deficit as previously reported.
COVID-19
The
Companys operations and business have experienced disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic
spreading throughout the United States and elsewhere. These disruptions are most evident in the Companys ability to obtain additional
financing and complete pre-development activities related to permitting. It is managements belief that disruptions relating to COVID-19
will be mitigated in the future as vaccination and natural immunity to the virus increase.

Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting
Standards Updates Adopted
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options and ASC subtopic
815-40 Hedging-Contracts in Entitys Own Equity. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible
debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those
with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative,
and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and, (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial
premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The update was adopted as of May 1, 2021,
and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In
December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No.
2019-12 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The update contains a number of provisions intended
to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption
permitted. The update was adopted as of May 1, 2021, and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys financial
statements.
Other
accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have
a material impact on the financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated
to have an impact on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.
NOTE
3– EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic
Earnings Per Share (EPS) is computed as net income (loss) available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable
through stock options and warrants.
The
outstanding securities at April 30, 2022 and 2021 that could have a dilutive effect are as follows:

Pursuant
to the Longstreet Property Option Agreement with Great Basin Resources, Inc. (Great Basin), as amended, which was originally
entered into by the Company on or about January 15, 2010 (the Longstreet Agreement), the Company leased, with an option
to acquire, unpatented mining claims located in the State of Nevada known as the Longstreet Property. Through August 12, 2019, the Company
was required to make minimal lease payments in the form of cash and options to purchase shares of the Companys common stock.
On
September 1, 2019, the Company executed a consulting agreement with Great Basin for a term of 18 months (the Consulting Agreement).
Under the Consulting Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Great Basin $7,500 per month for the term of the Consulting Agreement.
On
August 24, 2020, the Company executed an amendment to the Consulting Agreement which accelerated the payments to Great Basin to include
a $22,500 lump sum payment and three subsequent monthly payments of $7,500 in consideration of the execution and recording of a quit
claim deed on the Longstreet claims for benefit of the Company. For the year ended April 30, 2021, the Company paid Great Basin a total
of $67,500 which is included in pre-development expense. As of April 30, 2022, no amount is due to Great Basin under the Consulting Agreement.
The
August 24, 2020 Amendment also grants the Company the option, to be exercised no later than six (6) months following the first receipt
of proceeds from the sale of ore from the Longstreet Property, to purchase one-half of Great Basins 3.0% Net Smelter Royalty on
the Longstreet Project for a payment of $1,750,000.
In
addition, the Company is obligated, pursuant to the Longstreet Agreement, as amended, to pay an annual advance royalty payment of $12,000
related to the Clifford claims. For the years ended April 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company paid the annual $12,000 advance
royalty for additional mining interest on the Longstreet Property.
At
April 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company has a reclamation bond of $89,400 with the United States Department of Agriculture-Forest Service
to increase the Reclamation Bond as collateral on the Longstreet Property. The bond is collateral on reclamation of planned drilling
activities on the Longstreet Property and is refundable subject to the Company completing defined reclamation actions upon completion
of drilling.
NOTE
5 –OTHER CURRENT ASSETS
On
December 31, 2016, the Company entered into an Option and Lease of Water Rights with Stone Cabin Company, LLC (the Stone Cabin
Water Rights Agreement). In exchange for a one-time payment of $20,000, the Stone Cabin Water Rights Agreement granted the Company
a three-year option to commence a ten-year lease of certain water rights in Nevada. The water rights are for use in conjunction with
the Companys Longstreet Project. Lease payments for the water rights do not commence unless the Company exercises the option to
lease. The Stone Cabin Water Rights Agreement also granted the Company the ability to extend, upon additional annual payments, the option
to lease for up to an additional three years and the ability to extend the water rights lease (if exercised) for an additional ten-year
period. The initial $20,000 payment was deferred and was being amortized on a straight-line basis over the three-year option period ending
December 31, 2019.
On
December 31, 2019, the Company exercised its first option to extend the Stone Cabin Water Rights agreement for an additional twelve months
and made a $20,000 payment. The $20,000 payment was deferred as Other Currents Assets and is being amortized on a straight-line
basis over the subsequent one-year option period.
On
December 31, 2020, the Company exercised its second option to extend the Stone Cabin Water Rights agreement for an additional twelve
months and made a $20,000 payment. The $20,000 payment was deferred as Other Currents Assets and is being amortized on
a straight-line basis over the subsequent one-year option period. The Company retains the right to exercise one additional options to
extend the Stone Cabin Water Rights Agreement, upon an additional payment of $20,000.
As
of April 30, 2021, the unamortized portion of the Stone Cabin Water Rights Agreement and subsequent exercise of its second option was
$13,370. The Company declined to renew the option as of December 31, 2021.

There
was no income tax provision (benefit) for the years ended April 30, 2022 and 2021. The components of the Companys net deferred
tax assets are as follows:
Schedule
of Deferred Tax Assets
Deferred
income taxes arise from timing differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes
in different periods. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will
not be realized. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit
of the net deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance equal to 100% of the deferred tax assets has been recorded at April 30, 2022 and
2021.

Options
issued for mining interest
In
consideration for its mining interest (see Note 4), the Company was obligated to issue stock options to purchase shares of the Companys
common stock based on fair market price which for financial statement purposes is considered to be the closing price of
the Companys common stock on the issue dates. Those costs are capitalized as Mining Interest.
Options
outstanding for mining interest totaled 935,000 on April 30, 2022 and April 30, 2021, and are fully vested. As of April 30, 2022, the
remaining weighted average term of the option grants for mining interest was 2.34 years. As of April 30, 2022, the weighted average exercise
price of the option grants for mining interest was $0.04 per share.
Options
issued under the 2011 Stock Option/Restricted Stock Plan
The
Company established the 2011 Stock Option/Restricted Stock Plan (the 2011 Plan). The 2011 Plan is administered by the Board
of Directors and provides for the grant of stock options to eligible individuals including directors, executive officers and advisors
that have furnished bona fide services to the Company not related to the sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction.
The
2011 Plan has a fixed maximum percentage of 10% of the Companys outstanding shares that are eligible for the plan pool, whereby
the number of Shares under the plan increases automatically as the total number of shares outstanding increase. The number of shares
subject to the 2011 Plan and any outstanding awards will be adjusted appropriately by the Board of Directors if the Companys Common
Stock is affected through a reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring, reclassification dividend (other
than quarterly cash dividends) or other distribution, stock split, spin-off or sale of substantially all of the Companys assets.

assumptions associated with the Black-Scholes methodology. Options granted under the Plan have a ten-year maximum term and varying vesting
periods as determined by the Board.
On
