2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
In
this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Texas Mineral Resources Corp,”
“the Company” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Texas Mineral Resources Corp. You
should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial
statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may also contain
statistical data and estimates we obtained from industry publications and reports generated by third parties. Although we believe
that the publications and reports are reliable, we have not independently verified their data.
Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the exhibits attached hereto contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning
of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, “forward-looking statements”).
Such forward-looking statements concern our anticipated results and developments in our operations in future periods, planned

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results
may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on
any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, we disclaim any obligation
to subsequently revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or
to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in
this Quarterly Report by the foregoing cautionary statements.
Overview
We
are a mining company engaged in the business of the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. We currently
own a 20% membership interest in RTMD, which entity holds two mineral property leases with the Texas General Land Office to explore
and develop a 950-acre rare earths project located in Hudspeth County, Texas, known as the Round Top Project. The leases, originally
signed with primary terms of approximately 19 and 18 years, each currently have remaining terms of approximately eight years and
provisions for automatic renewal if Round Top is in production. RTMD also holds prospecting permits covering 9,345 acres adjacent
to the Round Top Project. The strategy of RTMD is to develop a metallurgical process to concentrate or otherwise extract the metals
from the Round Top Project’s rhyolite, conduct additional engineering, design, geotechnical work, and permitting necessary
for a bankable feasibility study and then to extract mineral resources from the Round Top Project. The Round Top Project has not
established as of the date hereof that any of the properties contain any probable mineral reserves or proven mineral reserves
under Item 1300 of Regulation S-K.
Rare
earth elements (“REE”) are a group of chemically similar elements that usually are found together in nature –
they are referred to as the “lanthanide series.” These individual elements have a variety of characteristics that
are critical in a wide range of technologies, products, and applications and are critical inputs in existing and emerging applications.
Without these elements, multiple high-tech technologies would not be possible. These technologies include:
|
● |
computer and television screens, |
|
● |
clean energy technologies, such as hybrid and
electric vehicles and wind power turbines, |
|
● |
fiber optics, lasers and hard disk drives, |
|
● |
numerous defense applications, such as guidance
and control systems and global positioning systems, |
|
● |
advanced water treatment technology for use
in industrial, military and |
|
● |
outdoor recreation applications |
Because
of these applications, global demand for REE is projected to steadily increase due to continuing growth in existing applications
and increased innovation and development of new end uses. Interest in developing resources domestically has become a strategic
necessity as there is limited production of these elements outside of China. Our ability to raise additional funds to continue
to fund our participation interest in the Round Top Project may be impacted by future prices for REEs.
USA
Rare Earth Agreement
In
August 2018, the Company and Morzev Pty. Ltd. (“Morzev”) entered into an agreement (the “2018 Option Agreement”)
whereby Morzev was granted the exclusive right to earn and acquire a 70% interest in the Company’s Round Top Project by
financing $10 million of expenditures in connection with the Project, increasable to an 80% interest for an additional $3 million
payment to the Company. Morzev began operating as USA Rare Earth, LLC (“USARE”) and in May 2019 notified the Company
that it was nominating USARE as the optionee under the terms of the 2018 Option Agreement. In August 2019, the Company and USARE
entered into an amended and restated option agreement as further amended on June 29, 2020 (the “2019 Option Agreement”
and collectively with the 2018 Option Agreement, the “Option Agreement”), whereby the Company restated its agreement
to grant USARE the exclusive right to earn and acquire a 70% interest, increasable to an 80% interest, in the Round Top Project.
The 2019 Option Agreement has substantially similar terms to the 2018 Option Agreement:
On
May 17, 2021, and in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement, the Company and USARE entered into a contribution agreement
(“Contribution Agreement”) whereby the Company and USARE contributed assets to Round Top Mountain Development (“RTMD”),
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in exchange for their ownership interests in RTMD, of which the Company now owns membership
interests equating to 20% of RTMD and USARE owns membership interests equating to 80% of RTMD. Concurrently therewith, the Company
and USARE as the two members entered into a limited liability company agreement (“Operating Agreement”) governing
the operations of RTMD which contains customary and industry standard terms as contemplated by the Option Agreement. USARE will
serve as manager of RTMD and Mr. Gorski, on behalf of the Company, will serve as one of the three members of the management committee.
In
connection with USARE meeting its obligations to acquire a 70% interest in the Round Top Project and exercising its right to an
additional 10% interest, the Company received total consideration of approximately $3,728,000, consisting of the $3 million upon
exercise of the option and approximately $728,000 in previous advances to the Company by USARE, and derecognized 80% of the carrying
amount of mineral properties, or approximately $402,000. The resulting gain on sale of interest in mineral properties in the amount
of approximately $3,326,000 was recognized during the quarter ended May 31, 2021.
Upon
entry into the Contribution Agreement, the Company assigned the following contracts and assets to RTMD in exchange for its 20%
membership interest in RTMD:
|
● |
the assignment and assumption agreement with
respect to the mineral leases from the Company to RTMD; |
|
● |
the assignment and assumption agreement with
respect to the surface lease from the Company to RTMD; |
|
● |
the assignment and assumption agreement with
respect to the surface purchase option from the Company to RTMD; |
|
● |
the assignment and assumption agreement with
respect to the water lease from the Company to RTMD; and |
|
● |
the bill of sale and assignment agreement of
existing data with respect to RTMD owned by the Company. |
and
USARE assigned the following assets to RTMD (or the Company, as applicable) for its 80% membership interest in RTMD:
|
● |
cash to RTMD to
continue to fund Round Top Project operations in the amount of approximately $3,761,750 comprising the balance of the $10
million required expenditure to earn a 70% interest in RTMD; |
|
● |
cash in the amount of $3 million to the Company
upon exercise of the USARE option to acquire from the Company an additional 10% interest in RTMD, resulting in the aggregate
ownership interest of 80% in RTMD; |
|
● |
bill of sale and assignment agreement of the
Pilot Plant to RTMD; |
|
● |
the assignment and assumption regarding relevant
contracts and permits with respect to RTMD; and |
|
● |
bill of sale and assignment agreement of existing
data and intellectual property owned by USARE to RTMD. |
The
Company accounts for its interest in RTMD using the proportionate consolidation method, which is an exception available to entities
in the extractive industries, thereby recognizing its pro-rate share of the assets, liabilities, and operations of RTMD in the
appropriate classifications in the financial statements.
Santa
Fe Project
On November 8, 2021, the Company entered into a mineral exploration and option agreement with Santa Fe Gold Corporation ("Santa Fe"). Under the option agreement, the Company and Santa Fe plan to pursue, negotiate and subsequently enter into a joint venture agreement to jointly explore and develop a target silver property to be selected by the Company among patented and unpatented mining claims held by Santa Fe within the Black Hawk Mining District in Grant County, New Mexico. Completion of a joint venture agreement, if any, is subject to the successful outcome of a multi-phase exploration plan leading to a bankable feasibility study to be undertaken in the near future by the Company. Under the contemplated terms of the proposed joint venture agreement, the Company would be project operator and initially own 50.5% of the joint venture while Santa Fe would initially own 49.5%. Additional terms of the joint venture are expected to be negotiated between the Company and Santa Fe in the future.
Under the terms of the option agreement, the Company plans to conduct a district-wide evaluation among the patented and unpatented claims held by Santa Fe, consisting of geologic mapping, sampling, trenching, radiometric surveying, geophysics, drilling and/or other methods as warranted. Based on the district-wide evaluation, the Company will designate one 80-acre tract as the "project area" and commence detailed exploration work. The property covered in the option agreement is approximately 1,300 acres and covers approximately 75% of the known mining district. The area to be studied also includes a two-mile radius "area of interest." The option agreement provides the Company with the right to designate any properties within the "area of interest" as "project area" properties. The term of the option is for so long as the Company continues to conduct exploration activities in the Project Area and can be exercised on 60 days' notice to Santa Fe.
Additionally, on November 8, 2021, the Company entered into a financing and purchase option agreement with Greentech Minerals Holdings, Inc. ("Greentech"). Under the financing agreement, Greentech is responsible for funding initial exploration activities and the bankable feasibility study, estimated to cost approximately $6.5 million, for the Santa Fe project exploration. It is contemplated that the bankable feasibility study will be designed to proceed in five tranches, each based on the success of the previous. It is estimated that completion of all tranches, if successful, would take twelve to fifteen months, depending on variables such as data analysis, weather and permitting.
Upon
successful completion of the study, Greentech will be entitled to received 20% of the Company’s initial equity in the proposed
joint venture with Santa Fe, equal to approximately 10.1% of the total equity of the joint venture. In addition, assuming Greentech
exercises its option to participate in funding the Santa Fe project capital expenditures, currently anticipated to be approximately
$15 million, it will be entitled to receive another 20% of the Company’s initial equity in the future joint venture, equal
to approximately an additional 10.1%. In total, Greentech, in exchange for its funding, has the ability to earn at least 20.2%
membership interest in the potential joint venture with Santa Fe assuming successful completion of the overall first project.
There can be no assurance any joint venture agreement or financing agreement will be consummated or that this project
will materialize.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of May 31, 2022, our accumulated deficit was approximately $38,932,000 and our cash position was approximately $3,542,000. We
had a working capital surplus of approximately $3,313,000. We have not commenced commercial production on any of our mineral properties.
We have no revenues from operations and anticipate we will have no operating revenues until we place one or more of our properties
into production. All properties are in the exploration stage.
During
the nine months ended May 31, 2022, we funded approximately $900,000 of the RTMD expenditures during such period in accordance
with our obligation as a 20% RTMD member. The balance was funded by existing cash of RTMD as well as by USARE. We have budgeted
approximately $800,000 to fund our portion of RTMD expenditures during the balance of our current fiscal year ending August 31,
2022, of which approximately $500,000 has been spent since May 31, 2022. RTMD continues to optimize the leaching and develop the
CIX/CIC processing of the Round Top Project. Initial process design work will be carried out at USARE’s facility in Wheat
Ridge, Colorado. Pending completion of the initial process development, this facility will either be relocated to or replicated
at the Round Top Project where a pilot plant is expected to be established. This work will consist of mining and crushing approximately
40,000 tonnes of rhyolite and setting up and equipping a facility to conduct pilot plant scale heap leaching. It is estimated
that the Round Top Project will require additional time and further expenditure to complete a bankable feasibility study.
Depending
upon the amount of our portion of the RTMD budget during the next fiscal year, we may need to raise additional funding to implement
our business strategy and to continue to fund our portion of the RTMD budget (20% is our obligation, correlating to our membership
interest), the failure of which could cause us to reduce our ownership interest in RTMD or curtail or cease our operations. The
most likely source of future financing presently available to us is through the sale of our securities. Any sale of our shares
of common stock will result in dilution of equity ownership to existing stockholders. This means that if we sell shares of common
stock, more shares will be outstanding and each existing stockholder will own a smaller percentage of the shares then outstanding.
Alternatively, we may rely on debt financing and assume debt obligations that require us to make substantial interest and capital
payments. Also, we may issue or grant warrants or options in the future pursuant to which additional shares of common stock may
be issued. Exercise of such warrants or options will result in dilution of equity ownership to our existing stockholders.
Results
of Operations
Nine
months ended May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2021
General
and Revenue
We
had no operating revenues during the nine months ended May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2021. We are not currently profitable. As a result
of ongoing operating losses, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $38.93 million as of May 31, 2022.
Operating
expenses, other income (expenses) and resulting losses from Operations.
We
incurred exploration costs for the nine months ended May 31, 2022, and May 31, 2021, in the amount of approximately $1,102,000
and $160,000, respectively. The increase in expenditures for the nine months ended May 31, 2022, versus the nine months ended
May 31, 2021 were primarily the result of mining and transporting approximately 30,000 metric tonnes of rhyolite from the deposit
site to the planned demonstration plant site. There was also considerable earth work done at the site of the production plant
to divert storm runoff water. In addition, we began contracting various consulting groups to commence the designing of the mine,
heap leaching plant and processing plant. During the nine months ended May 31, 2022, exploration expenditures for mining activities
were funded by RTMD. We account for our interest in RTMD under the proportional consolidation method. Under the proportional consolidation
method, we record our share of expenses of RTMD within the income statement in the same line items that we would if we were to
consolidate our financial statements with RTMD. Additionally during the nine months ended May 31, 2022, we spent approximately
$325,500 on a survey and other project related costs for the Santa Fe Project that commenced during the current fiscal year.
Our
general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2021, were approximately $987,000 and $1,080,000,
respectively. For the nine months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, this amount included approximately $404,000 and $606,000, respectively,
in stock-based compensation to directors and common stock and stock options to outside consultants. The remaining expenditures
were primarily for payroll and related taxes and benefits, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses necessary
for our operations.
Grants
received from government and other agencies in advance of a specific project’s expenses are deferred and recognized as other
income in the statements of operations in the period they are earned and the related project costs are incurred. For the nine
months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $561,950 and $150,000, respectively, of grant income which is presented
in other income, net of grant related expenses totaling $561,857 and $138,921, respectively.
For
the nine months ended May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2021, we earned approximately $4,600 and $4,000 in interest income from depository
accounts.
In
May 2021, USARE met its obligations under the Option Agreement and acquired a 70% interest in Round Top. In addition, USARE exercised
its option to acquire an additional 10% interest in Round Top for $3 million. In connection with this transaction, the Company
received total consideration of approximately $3,728,000, consisting of the $3 million upon exercise of the option and an assumption
of approximately $728,000 in advances from related parties, and derecognized 80% of the carrying amount of mineral properties,
or approximately $402,000. The resulting gain on sale of interest in mineral properties in the amount of approximately $3,327,000
is included as its own line item in other income (expense).
We
had losses from operations for the nine months ended May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2021 totaling approximately $2,088,000 and $1,240,000,
respectively.
We
had a net loss for the nine months ended May 31, 2022 totaling approximately $2,084,000 and net income for the nine months ended
May 31, 2021 totaling approximately $2,102,000.

months ended May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2021
General
and Revenue
We
had no operating revenues during the three months ended May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2021. We are not currently profitable. As a result
of ongoing operating losses, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $38.93 million as of May 31, 2022.
Operating
expenses, other income (expenses) and resulting losses from Operations.
We
incurred exploration costs for the three months ended May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2021, in the amount of approximately $519,900 and
$63,400, respectively. During the three months ended May 31, 2022, exploration expenditures for mining activities were funded
by RTMD. We account for our interest in RTMD under the proportional consolidation method. Under the proportional consolidation
method, we record our share of expenses of RTMD within the income statement in the same line items that we would if we were to
consolidate our financial statements with RTMD. Additionally during the quarter ended May 31, 2022, we spent approximately $247,000
on a survey and other project related costs for the Santa Fe Project that commenced during the current fiscal year.
Our
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2021, respectively, were approximately
$295,000 and $345,000. For the three months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, this amount included approximately $112,000 and $211,700,
respectively, in stock-based compensation to directors and common stock and stock options to outside consultants. The remaining
expenditures were primarily for payroll and related taxes and benefits, professional fees and other general and administrative
expenses necessary for our operations.
For
the three months ended May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2021, we earned approximately $1,200 and $700, respectively, in interest income
from depository accounts.
In
May 2021, USARE met its obligations under the Option Agreement and acquired a 70% interest in Round Top. In addition, USARE exercised
its option to acquire an additional 10% interest in Round Top for $3 million. In connection with this transaction, the Company
received total consideration of approximately $3,728,000, consisting of the $3 million upon exercise of the option and an assumption
of approximately $728,000 in advances from related parties, and derecognized 80% of the carrying amount of mineral properties,
or approximately $402,000. The resulting gain on sale of interest in mineral properties in the amount of approximately $3,327,000
is included as its own line item in other income (expense).
We
had losses from operations for the three months ended May 31, 2022 and May 31, 2021 totaling approximately $815,000 and $409,000,
respectively.
We
had a net loss for the three months ended May 31, 2022 in the amount of approximately $814,000 and net income for the three months

Investment
Company Act Exclusion
Section
3(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), provides that a company “substantially
all of whose business consists of owning or holding oil, gas, or other mineral royalties or leases, or fractional interests therein,
or certificates of interest or participation in or investment contracts relative to such royalties, leases, or fractional interests”
is not an investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The Company has determined that this exemption applies to it
giving consideration to the following four factors:
|
● |
whether the exempted
activity constitutes “substantially all” of our business; |
|
○ |
The Company has
owned mineral leases since 2010, all of our business to date has been comprised of owning and developing the mineral leases
and, after the May 2021 “farm-down” of its 100% interest in the mineral leases, all of our business continues
to be comprised of owning and holding a certificate of interest and a participation in the mineral leases owned by RTMD. The
Company’s mineral assets historically, as well as the value of the certificate of interest at August 31, 2021 and May
31, 2022, have been booked at cost in accordance with GAAP. We have an accumulated deficit of approximately $37.2 million
at August 31, 2021 as a result of owning and developing the Round Top Project. Our Board of Directors has authorized and instructed
us to (i) invest approximately $3.5 million of our current cash during the current fiscal year to meet the RTMD budgeted cash
calls pursuant to the initial budget adopted by the Company and USARE in the Operating Agreement, for the Round Top Project,
as well as to (ii) fund future budgets to be adopted by the management committee of RTMD for the development of the Round
Top Project to the extent of available working capital. |
|
● |
whether we own or
trade in the mineral leases; |
|
○ |
The Company has
owned the mineral leases, which are now owned by RTMD, since 2010 and neither the Company nor RTMD is in the business of dealing
or trading in the mineral leases. |
|
● |
what qualifies as
an eligible asset for purposes of the exception; and |
|
○ |
The statute specifically
references mineral leases and our mineral leases were owned by the Company and are now owned by RTMD. In accordance with Regulation
S-K Item 1300 that governs disclosure by registrants engaged in mining operations, the definition of mineral resource is “a
concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust.” Our rare earth elements
and minerals underlying the mineral leases meet that definition, as well as does coal, silver, gold and other material mined
for economic value by registrants involved in mining operations. The SEC staff has recognized that an excepted entity can
also engage in related business activities such as exploring, developing, and operating the eligible assets. |
|
● |
what qualifies as
a “certificate of interest or participation in” or an “investment contract relative to” the eligible
assets. |
|
○ |
The statute allows
a Company to own a “certificate of interest” or “participation in” the mineral leases. The SEC staff
has advised that limited partnership interests and/or similar securities issued by entities that themselves own the leases
constitute “certificate of interest or participation in or investment contracts” related to such leases. The Company’s
20% membership interest in RTMD constitutes a “certificate of interest” and a “participation in” the
mineral leases that are owned by RTMD. |
The
Company intends to continue to conduct its business operations in order to continue to be excluded from the definition of an “investment
company” under the 1940 Act.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical
Accounting Estimates
Management’s
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP. Preparation of financial statements requires management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies.
Management bases its estimates on various assumptions and historical experience, which are believed to be reasonable; however,
due to the inherent nature of estimates, actual results may differ significantly due to changed conditions or assumptions. On
a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial
statements are fairly presented in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined
with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Management
believes that the following critical accounting estimates and judgments have a significant impact on our financial statements;
Valuation of options granted to directors, officers and consultants using the Black-Scholes model.
