The Company
Janus Resources, Inc.
(formerly Entheos Technologies, Inc.) (“Janus” “the Company” “we” “us” and “our”)
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada and has an authorized capital of 200,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value
common stock, of which 63,075,122 shares are outstanding and 10,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock, of which none
are outstanding.
Effective
January 5, 2011, the Company changed its name from “Entheos Technologies, Inc.” to “Janus Resources, Inc.”
so as to more fully reflect the Company’s operations.
In conjunction with the name change, our stock symbol on the
OTCQB
was changed from “ETHT” to “JANI”.
Our principal executive
offices are located at 10180 – 101 Street, Suite 3400, Edmonton, AB, Canada T5J3S4. Our telephone number is (800) 755-5815.
As we are a smaller
reporting company, certain disclosures otherwise required to be made in a Form 10-K are not required to be made by us.
Our Principal Products and Their Markets
We
are a junior natural resources exploration company.
Our strategy is to concentrate our investigations into: (i) existing
operations where an infrastructure already exists; (ii) properties presently being developed and/or in advanced stages of exploration
which have potential for additional discoveries; and (iii) grass-roots exploration opportunities.
We are currently concentrating
our mineral property exploration activities in Canada and our oil and gas property exploration activities in the United States
of America (the “USA”). We are also examining data relating to the potential acquisition of other mineral exploration
properties.
Our mineral property
is in the exploration stage only and is without a known body of mineral reserves. Development of the property will follow only
if satisfactory exploration results are obtained. Mineral exploration and development involves a high degree of risk and few properties
that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There is no assurance that our mineral exploration and development
activities will result in any discoveries of commercially viable bodies of mineralization reserves. The long-term profitability
of our operations will be, in part, directly related to the cost and success of our exploration programs, which may be affected
by a number of factors.
Please refer to “Item 1A Risk Factors”.
Description of Business
Janus Resources, Inc.
is in the business of location, acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, development of both mineral exploration properties
and oil and gas properties.
Mineral Properties
Foster Township, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada
– Fostung Tungsten Property
|
(a)
|
On June 8, 2011, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement,
the Company paid CAD $500,000 in cash for the acquisition of EMC Metals Corp’s. 100% leasehold interest in two mining leases known
as the Fostung tungsten property. The Fostung tungsten property consists of two contiguous claim blocks of 30 claims totaling
485 hectors. The nine claims covered by Mining Lease 108592 (“Lease One”) expire on October 31, 2031. The
twenty one claims covered by Mining Lease 105604 (“Lease Two”) which originally expired on March 31, 2011 are in the
process of being renewed and extended three years to 2014 by the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry (“MNDMF”). The
Company has performed the necessary assessment work and applied to the MNDMF to extend the expiry of Lease Two to October 2032.
The Fostung property is located in Foster Township, Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario, Canada. It is approximately 8 kilometers
southeast of the town of Espanola and 70 kilometers west-southwest of the town of Sudbury. An excellent all-weather gravel road
extends from Espanola, crossing the property and providing access to the west bay of Lake Panache.
|
A
production bonus in the amount of CAD $500,000 is payable to Breakwater Resources Ltd. by the Company within thirty business days
following the commencement of commercial production from the property. A 1% net smelter return royalty on the property is also
payable to Breakwater Resources Ltd. by the Company. No capitalized costs have been amortized as of December 31, 2011. The Company
did not incur any impairment of these capitalized costs through December 31, 2011.
|
(b)
|
The Fostung property also consists of four unpatented
mining claims, located in Foster Township in the Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario, Canada, comprised of 26 claim units, were recorded
in the name of Fostung Resources Ltd. on June 7, 2011. Two of the four mining claim blocks consisting of two contiguous claims
are located to the north east of the structural trend in the two contiguous claim blocks of 30 claims referred to in (a) above.
Two of the four mining claim blocks consisting of two contiguous claims are located to the south west of the structural trend
in the two contiguous claim blocks of 30 claims referred to in (a) above. Each of the four claims has an expiration date of June
7, 2013. The aggregate amount of work required to renew the four claims is CAD $10,400.
|
Accessibility, Climate, Local Resources,
Infrastructure and Physiography of the Fostung property
Access
The
Fostung Property is easily accessible by an all-year gravel road from Espanola to the western bay of Panache Lake (Stryhas and
More, 2007). The property can also be accessed by a gravel road to Lake Hannah and Stratton.
Climate, Vegetation and Physiography
The
climate is typical of the Northern Ontario with cold winters and hot, humid summers (Stryhas and More, 2007). The average, annual
daily temperature is 4°C, the monthly average is -13.6°C for January and 19°C for July. The property is located on
rugged, rolling terrain, with the hills oriented east-northeast (Stryhas and More, 2007).
Regional Geology
The
Fostung Property is located in sediments of the Huronian Supergroup of the Southern Province, which is underlain by granite and
gneisses of the Archean basement to the north and bounded by the Grenville Province to the southeast. The Huronian Supergroup
is subdivided into Elliot Lake, Hough Lake, Quirke Lake and Cobalt Group.
The
sedimentary rocks have been metamorphosed and folded during Penokean Orogeny and faulted during and after metamorphism and folding.
The sedimentary rocks are intruded by the Nipissing diabase and later Keewenawan-type diabase dikes with a northwesterly trend.
Property Geology
Sedimentary rocks
The
Fostung Property is underlain by the Bruce, Espanola and Serpent formations of the Quirke Lake Group. The Bruce Formation is composed
of conglomerate, greywacke, quartzite and siltstone with slightly dolomitic beds in the upper part. The Espanola Formation is
the host of the majority of the mineralization on the Fostung Property. It is subdivided into a Limestone Member, Greywacke Member,
Calcareous Sitlstone Member, Sandstone Member and Siltstone Member, from bottom to top (Card, 1978). The skarn mineralization
occurs in the Calcareous Siltstone Member. The lower Limestone Member has not been found in the Fostung Property. The Greywacke
Member also carries minor mineralization. The Serpent Formation is composed of sandstone, siltstone, argillite and minor carbonates.
Skarn mineralization has not been found in the Serpent Formation.
Intrusive
rocks
The
metasedimentary rocks on the Fostung Property are intruded by Nipissing diabase and later northwest trending diabase dikes. The
Breccia Hill is an elongated body of approximately 400 m by 200 m composed of an albitite core surrounded by a large zone of well-developed
quartz stockwork and quartz-flooded breccias. The albitite is interpreted as an altered biotite granite pluton. A number of narrow
granodiorite to granite dikes have been intersected in drill holes. Skarn mineralization is spatially associated with these dikes,
but they appear not to be the direct cause of mineralization (Ginn and Beecham, 1986).
Alteration
Metasedimentary
rocks have been metamorphosed and metasomatized over a 5.5 km by 0.5 km area along the Base Line Fault. The carbonate-bearing
layers have been converted to calc-silicate assemblages. Pale green skarns are composed of quartz, feldspar, tremolite, diopsidic
clinopyroxene, epidote, clinozoisite and minor calcite. Dark green skarns are composed of actinolite, quartz, feldspar and chlorite.
Pale green skarns are later locally replaced by garnet-hedenbergite beds, which carry most of the scheelite mineralization.
Structure
Metasedimentary
rocks on the Fostung Property are folded and faulted during several deformational events affecting the area. Fold axes have a
northeasterly trend. The Fostung skarns are located on the northwest limb of the St. Leonard anticline, located south of the skarns,
and the southeast limb of the Elizabeth Lake syncline, located north of the skarns. The major fault trends on the Fostung Property
include northeast, west-northwest, east-southeast and east. The Base Line Fault is a major northeast trending fault, with a 50°
strike and 85° dip.
Oil and Gas Properties
The Company pursues
oil and gas prospects in partnership with oil and gas companies with exploration, development and production expertise. The Company’s
interests consist of non-operating, minority working interests in properties in La Salle County, Fayette County, Lee County and
Frio County, Texas.
The leases for these
properties are maintained and operated by Leexus Oil LLC and Millennium Petro-Physics; there are no obligations to further explore
or develop lands in the lease areas to maintain the leases. The operators of the leases are not affiliated with Janus or
any of its directors or major shareholders. We are not aware of any relationships or affiliations between or among any of our leasehold
partners and the lease operators.
Strategy
Our
general business strategy is to acquire mineral properties and oil and gas properties either directly or through the acquisition
of operating entities. Our continued operations and the recoverability of property costs are dependent upon the existence of
commercially
viable bodies of mineralization reserves
and oil and gas reserves, our ability to obtain necessary financing
to complete our planned exploration programs, and future, if warranted, development and profitable production.
We plan to grow our
oil and gas operations by acquiring minority, non-operating, working interests in both currently producing wells and also by participating
in workover and/or re-entry projects on previously producing proved assets or wells. These assets will be pursued to offset
the natural decline in our current production as well as provide growth in our asset portfolio over time. Assets for acquisition
will be identified through our operators, managements’ contacts in the industry as well as through the Petroleum Listing
Service (“PLS”).
Assets will be evaluated
by management as well as by third party independent consulting engineers and geologists, having experience in the geographical
areas in which the prospects are located, engaged by us on an as needed basis. The industry professionals to be utilized by
us will be contractors and will be compensated as such utilizing finder’s fee agreements and consulting agreements.

Geologic Background
Escondido Formation
The Escondido formation,
where Cooke #6 is located, is a regional producer spanning several counties in South Texas. There are many Escondido oil and
gas fields which have produced anywhere from 600,000 to 3,100,000 barrels of oil and the gas fields have produced up to 18 BCF
of gas. However, this is no assurance that Cooke #6 will produce or continue to produce any oil and gas.
Austin Chalk Formation
Giddings is a main producing
field of the Austin Chalk formation consisting of fractured carbonate, which is where our Onnie Ray #1 and Stahl #1 wells are located.
This formation covers central Texas, parts of Mexico and northwest Louisiana. The Austin Chalk in central Texas has been and
continues to be explored and developed for its oil and gas potential by companies such as Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, Chesapeake
Energy Corporation, and Exxon Mobil Corporation. In March 2011, Leexus Oil LLC, the operator, who also owns a working interest
in the Onnie Ray #1H well provided us with a plan for the re-completion of the well. We have decided not to participate in the
proposed re-completion of the Onnie Ray #1H well. This decision may delay our cost recovery from this well even if the recompletion
results in increased production.
Haile #1 and Pearce
#1 wells are located within the Pearsall Austin Chalk field which is south west of the Giddings field and is also a significant
historic producer. The Pearsall field has been and continues to be explored and developed much like the Giddings fields to
the North.
At
the time of acquisition, the
Reeves #1H (Haile)
well was
not supported by actual production nor were there defined engineering reserve studies. The well was being re-completed to
a zone that was previously productive. Once the recompletion efforts were final and the well did not support production, an
exploratory drilling program was started in early 2009 to complete a new unproven upper zone. The new upper zone recompletion
also resulted in no oil or gas production and the well was shut-in August 2009.
Management
has impaired the well to the extent of anticipated salvage value of the equipment. In January 2011, Leexus Oil LLC, the operator
who also owns a working interest in the well provided us with a plan for the re-completion of the well. We have decided not to
participate in the proposed re-completion of the Reeves #1H (Haile) well.
The foregoing
is not necessarily indicative of the commercial viability of our properties and activities.
Production and Reserve Estimate Status
Neither the Company,
nor the Company’s partners, Leexus Oil LLC and Millennium Petro-Physics (collectively, the “Partners”), have
conducted any reserve studies and after further assessment of the matter, neither the Company nor the Partners believe it to be
commercially reasonable, based on production to date, to undertake the expense of conducting a reserve study. Additionally, the
Company maintains only a minority working interest in each of the properties, which are actively maintained by the Partners; accordingly,
the Company is not in a position to unilaterally conduct reserve studies on these properties and no reserve studies have been provided
to the Company by the Partners.
Marketing of Production
Sale of Crude Oil and Natural Gas
Our production consists
of natural gas and crude that is marketed by the well site Operators. We sell our crude oil and condensate production at
or near the well-site, although in some cases it is gathered by us or others and delivered to a central point of sale. Our crude
oil and condensate production is transported by truck or by pipeline and is typically committed to arrangements having a term of
one year or less. We have not engaged in crude oil hedging or trading activities. We have not engaged in natural gas hedging or
futures trading, nor do we have any long term contracts to sell our production.
Sales of crude oil totaled
$25,605 and $29,960 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which represents 78% and 75% of our total oil
and gas revenues for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Sales of natural gas totaled $7,182 and $9,886
for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Price Considerations
Crude oil prices are
established in a highly liquid, international market, with average crude oil prices that we receive generally fluctuating with
changes in the futures price established on the NYMEX for West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil (“NYMEX-WTI”). The average
crude oil price per Bbl received by us in fiscal 2011 and 2010 was $88.07 and $67.13, respectively.
Natural gas and natural
gas liquids prices in the geographical areas in which we operate are closely tied to established price indices which are heavily
influenced by national and regional supply and demand factors and the futures price per MMBtu for natural gas delivered at Henry
Hub, Louisiana established on the NYMEX (“NYMEX-Henry Hub”). At times, these indices correlate closely with the NYMEX-Henry
Hub price, but often there are significant variances between the NYMEX-Henry Hub price and the indices used to price our natural
gas. Average natural gas prices received by us in each of our operating areas generally fluctuate with changes in these established
indices. The average natural gas price per Mcf received by us in fiscal 2011 and 2010 was $9.99 and $8.35, respectively.
Governmental Regulations
Our operations are periodically
affected in varying degrees by political developments and U.S. federal, state, and local laws and regulations. In particular,
natural gas and crude oil production and related operations are, or have been, subject to price controls, taxes and other laws
and regulations relating to the industry. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations can result in substantial penalties. The
regulatory burden on the industry increases our cost of doing business and affects our profitability. Although we believe we substantially
comply with all applicable laws and regulations, such laws and regulations are frequently amended or reinterpreted so we are unable
to predict the future cost or impact of complying with such laws and regulations.
Environmental Matters
Our mineral, natural
gas and crude oil exploration, development and production operations are subject to stringent Canadian and U.S. federal, state
and local laws governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Numerous
governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), issue regulations to implement and
enforce such laws, and compliance is often difficult and costly. Failure to comply may result in substantial costs and
expenses, including possible civil and criminal penalties. These laws and regulations may:
-
|
|
require the acquisition of a permit before drilling commences;
|
|
-
|
|
restrict the types, quantities and concentrations of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling, production and processing activities;
|
-
|
|
limit or prohibit drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, frontier and other protected areas;
|
-
|
|
require remedial action to prevent pollution from former operations such as plugging abandoned wells; and
|
-
|
|
impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from operations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, these laws,
rules and regulations may restrict the rate of natural gas and crude oil production below the rate that would otherwise exist. The
regulatory burden on the industry increases the cost of doing business and consequently affects our profitability. Changes
in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent and costly waste handling,
disposal or clean-up requirements could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. While
we believe that we substantially comply with current applicable environmental laws and regulations, and we have not experienced
any materially adverse effect from compliance with these environmental requirements, we cannot assure you that this will continue
in the future.
The U.S. Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), also known as the “Superfund” law, imposes
liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons who are considered to
be responsible for the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the present
or past owners or operators of the disposal site or sites where the release occurred and the companies that transported or arranged
for the disposal of the hazardous substances at the site where the release occurred. Under CERCLA, such persons may be subject
to joint and several liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment,
for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. It is not uncommon for neighboring landowners
and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damages allegedly caused by the release of hazardous substances
or other pollutants into the environment. Furthermore, although petroleum, including natural gas and crude oil, is exempt
from CERCLA, at least two courts have ruled that certain wastes associated with the production of crude oil may be classified as
“hazardous substances” under CERCLA and thus such wastes may become subject to liability and regulation under CERCLA. State
initiatives to further regulate the disposal of crude oil and natural gas wastes are also pending in certain states, and these
various initiatives could have an adverse impact on us.
Stricter standards in
environmental legislation may be imposed on the industry in the future. For instance, legislation has been proposed in the
U.S. Congress from time to time that would reclassify certain exploration and production wastes as “hazardous wastes”
and make the reclassified wastes subject to more stringent handling, disposal and clean-up restrictions. Compliance with environmental
requirements generally could have a materially adverse effect upon our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Although
we have not experienced any materially adverse effect from compliance with environmental requirements, we cannot assure you that
this will continue in the future.
The U.S. Federal Water
Pollution Control Act (“FWPCA”) imposes restrictions and strict controls regarding the discharge of produced waters
and other petroleum wastes into navigable waters. Permits must be obtained to discharge pollutants into state and federal
waters. The FWPCA and analogous state laws provide for civil, criminal and administrative penalties for any unauthorized discharges
of crude oil and other hazardous substances in reportable quantities and may impose substantial potential liability for the costs
of removal, remediation and damages. Federal effluent limitations guidelines prohibit the discharge of produced water and
sand, and some other substances related to the natural gas and crude oil industry, into coastal waters. Although the costs
to comply with zero discharge mandated under federal or state law may be significant, the entire industry will experience similar
costs and we believe that these costs will not have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. Some
oil and gas exploration and production facilities are required to obtain permits for their storm water discharges. Costs may
be incurred in connection with treatment of wastewater or developing storm water pollution prevention plans.
The U.S. Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (“RCRA”), generally does not regulate most wastes generated by the exploration and production of natural
gas and crude oil. RCRA specifically excludes from the definition of hazardous waste “drilling fluids, produced waters,
and other wastes associated with the exploration, development, or production of crude oil, natural gas or geothermal energy.” However,
these wastes may be regulated by the EPA or state agencies as solid waste. Moreover, ordinary industrial wastes, such
as paint wastes, waste solvents, laboratory wastes and waste compressor oils, are regulated as hazardous wastes. Although
the costs of managing solid hazardous waste may be significant, we do not expect to experience more burdensome costs than would
be borne by similarly situated companies in the industry.
In addition, the U.S.
Oil Pollution Act (“OPA”) requires owners and operators of facilities that could be the source of an oil spill into
“waters of the United States,” a term defined to include rivers, creeks, wetlands and coastal waters, to adopt and
implement plans and procedures to prevent any spill of oil into any waters of the United States. OPA also requires affected
facility owners and operators to demonstrate that they have at least $35 million in financial resources to pay for the costs of
cleaning up an oil spill and compensating any parties damaged by an oil spill. Substantial civil and criminal fines and penalties
can be imposed for violations of OPA and other environmental statutes.
Competition
The oil and gas industry
is highly competitive. We compete with major oil companies, large and small independent companies, and individuals for the
acquisition of leases and properties. Most competitors have financial and other resources which substantially exceed ours. Resources
of our competitors may allow them to pay more for desirable leases and to evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties
or prospects than us. Our ability to replace and expand our reserves is dependent on our ability to select and acquire producing
properties and prospects for future drilling.
Operations
Oil and gas properties
are customarily operated under the terms of a joint operating agreement, which provides for reimbursement of the operator’s
direct expenses and monthly per well supervision fees. Per well supervision fees vary widely depending on the geographic location
and producing formation of the well, whether the well produces oil or gas and other factors. We are not the operator of our wells,
which are operated by the Partners. The Partners charge the Company, without mark-up, for the Company’s working interest
portion of the direct operating costs and overhead costs (which are comprised of administrative, supervision, office services and
warehousing costs) that the operators incur with respect to our wells.
Employees
We currently have two
part-time contractors providing services to the Company. We have no employees. All of our activities are conducted through contracting
geologists, engineers, operators and other oil and gas professionals.
GLOSSARY OF CERTAIN OIL AND GAS TERMS
The following is a description of
the meanings of some of the natural gas and oil industry terms used in this filing:
“Bbl”
means a barrel
or barrels of oil.
“BOE”
means barrels
of oil equivalent.
“
Btu
” means British
thermal unit, which means the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
“
Completion
” means the
installation of permanent equipment for the production of natural gas or oil.
“Condensate”
means hydrocarbons
naturally occurring in the gaseous phase in a reservoir that condense to become a liquid at the surface due to the change in pressure
and temperature.
“Crude”
means unrefined
liquid petroleum.
“
Gross acres
” or “
gross
wells
” refer to the total acres or wells, as the case may be, in which a working interest is owned.
“Mcf
” means thousand
cubic feet of natural gas. The Company has assumed that 1Mcf = 1 MMBtu for our calculations.
“
MMBtu
” means one million
Btus.
“Net acreage”
means
the sum of the fractional working interest owned in gross acres or wells, as the case may be.
“
Operator
” refers to
the individual or company responsible for the exploration, development and production of an oil or gas well or lease.
“
Proved reserves
” or
“
reserves
” are those quantities of oil and gas reserves, which, by analysis of geosciences and engineering data,
can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible—from a given date forward, from known reservoirs,
and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations—prior to the time at which contracts
providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic
or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation.
“Proved
developed reserves”
or
“PDP”s
means reserves that can be expected
to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Additional oil and gas expected to be obtained
through the application of fluid injection or other improved recovery techniques for supplementing the natural forces and mechanisms
of primary recovery can be included as “proved developed reserves” only after testing by a pilot project, or after
the operation of an installed program has confirmed through production response that increased recovery will be achieved.
“Proved
developed non-producing reserves”
or
“PDNP’s”
are those quantities of oil and gas
reserves that are developed behind pipe in an existing well bore, from a shut-in well bore or that can be recovered through improved
recovery only after the necessary equipment has been installed, or when the costs to do so are relatively minor. Shut-in reserves
are expected to be recovered from (1) completion intervals which are open at the time of the estimate but which have not
started producing, (2) wells that were shut-in for market conditions or pipeline connections, or (3) wells not capable
of production for mechanical reasons. Behind-pipe reserves are expected to be recovered from zones in existing wells that will
require additional completion work or future recompletion prior to the start of production.
“Proved
undeveloped reserves”
or
“PUD’s”
are those quantities of oil
and gas reserves that are expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or from existing wells where a relatively
major expenditure is required for development. Reserves on undrilled acreage are limited to those drilling units offsetting productive
units that are reasonably certain of production when drilled. Proved reserves for other undrilled units are claimed only where
it can be demonstrated with certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing productive formation. Estimates
for proved undeveloped reserves are not attributed to any acreage for which an application of fluid injection or other improved
recovery technique is contemplated, unless such techniques have been proven effective by actual tests in the area and in the same
reservoir.
“
Proven properties
”
refers to properties containing proved reserves.
“
Recompletion
”
means the completion for production of an existing well bore in another formation from that in which the well has been previously
completed.
“
Shut-in
” means a well
which is capable of producing but is not presently producing.
“
Unproven properties
” refers
to properties containing no proved reserves.
“
Working interest
” refers
to the operating interest that gives the owner the right to drill, produce and conduct operating activities on the property and
receive a share of production.
“
Workover
” means operations
on a producing well to restore or increase production.
GLOSSARY OF CERTAIN MINERAL EXPLORATION
TERMS
The following is a description of the meanings
of some mineral exploration terms used in this filing:
“Net Smelter Return” or
"NSR"
royalties are based on the value of production or net proceeds received by the operator from a smelter or refinery.
These proceeds are usually subject to deductions or charges for transportation, insurance, smelting and refining costs as set out
in the royalty agreement. For gold royalties, the deductions are generally minimal while for base metal projects, the deductions
can be much more substantial. This type of royalty provides cash flow that is free of any operating or capital costs and environmental
liabilities. A smaller percentage NSR in a project can effectively equate to the economic value of a larger percentage profit or
working interest in the same project.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Risks Specific to Our Company
We have a history of losses which
may continue, which may negatively impact our ability to achieve our business objectives.
We have very limited
history with respect to our acquisition and development of oil and gas properties. In the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010
we recorded operating losses of $792,599 and $387,005 respectively. We cannot assure you that we can achieve or sustain
profitability on a quarterly or annual basis in the future. Our operations are subject to the risks and competition
inherent in the establishment of a business enterprise. There can be no assurance that our future operations will be
profitable. Revenues and profits, if any, will depend upon various factors, including whether we will be able to continue
expansion of our revenue. We may not achieve our business objectives and the failure to achieve such goals would have
an adverse impact on us.
Since we are in the early stage of
development and have a limited operating history, it may be difficult for you to assess our business and future prospects.
We have only a limited
history of revenues from oil and natural gas operations and have limited tangible assets. We have yet to generate positive earnings
and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. With this limited operating history our company must be considered
in the exploration stage. Our success is significantly dependent on a successful acquisition, drilling, completion and production
program. Our operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties
arising from the absence of a significant operating history. We may be unable to locate recoverable reserves or operate on a profitable
basis. We are in the exploration stage and potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by enterprises
in the exploration stage. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose
some or all of their investment in our company.
Our directors may face conflicts of
interest in connection with our participation in certain ventures because they are directors of other mineral mineralized material
companies.
Messrs.
Sierchio and Jenkins,
who in addition to Mr. Cooper, serve as directors, may also be a director of other companies and,
if those other companies participate in ventures in which we may participate, our directors may have a conflict of interest in
negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. It is possible that due to our directors’ conflicting
interests, we may be precluded from participating in certain projects that we might otherwise have participated in, or we may obtain
less favorable terms on certain projects than we might have obtained if our directors were not also directors of other participating
companies. In an effort to balance their conflicting interests, our directors may approve terms equally favorable to all of their
companies as opposed to negotiating terms more favorable to us but adverse to their other companies. Additionally, it is possible
that we may not be afforded certain opportunities to participate in particular projects because those projects are assigned to
our directors’ other companies for which the directors may deem the projects to have a greater benefit.
Our future performance is dependent
on our ability to retain key personnel, loss of which would adversely affect our success and growth.
Our performance is
substantially dependent on performance of our senior management. In particular, our success depends on the continued efforts of
Mr. Cooper. The loss of his services could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
condition as our potential future revenues would most likely dramatically decline and our costs of operations would rise. We do
not have employment agreements in place with any of our officers or our key employees, nor do we have key person insurance covering
our employees.
The value and transferability of our
shares may be adversely impacted by the limited trading market for our shares.
There is only a limited
trading market for our common stock on the OTCQB. This may make it more difficult for you to sell your stock if you so desire.
Our common stock is a penny stock and
because "penny stock” rules will apply, you may find it difficult to sell the shares of our common stock.
Our common stock is
a “penny stock” as that term is defined under Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Generally, a “penny
stock” is a common stock that is not listed on a national securities exchange and trades for less than $5.00 a share. Prices
often are not available to buyers and sellers and the market may be very limited. Penny stocks in start-up companies are among
the riskiest equity investments. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks must provide purchasers of these stocks with a standardized
risk-disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The document provides information about penny stocks
and the nature and level of risks involved in investing in the penny stock market. A broker must also give a purchaser, orally
or in writing, bid and offer quotations and information regarding broker and salesperson compensation, make a written determination
that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser, and obtain the purchaser's written agreement to the purchase.
Consequently, the rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and also may affect the ability of purchasers
of our stock to sell their shares in the secondary market. It may also cause fewer broker dealers to make a market in our stock.
Many brokers choose
not to participate in penny stock transactions. Because of the penny stock rules, there is less trading activity in penny stock
and you are likely to have difficulty selling your shares.
In addition to the
"penny stock" rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (the “FINRA”)
has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer,
a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending
speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information
about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these
rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least
some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock,
which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Future sales of shares by us may reduce
the value of our stock.
If required, we will
seek to raise additional capital through the sale of our common stock. Future sales of shares by us could cause the market price
of our common stock to decline and may result in further dilution of the value of the shares owned by our stockholders.
Risks Associated with Oil and Gas Exploration,
Development and Operations
As our properties are in the exploration
stage, there can be no assurance that we will establish commercial discoveries on our properties.
Exploration for economic
reserves of oil and gas is subject to a number of risk factors. Few wells that are ultimately reworked are capable of producing
commercially viable quantities of oil and or gas for any extended period of time. If the wells in which we have an interest
do not produce commercially viable amounts of oil or gas or cease to produce such quantities after being reworked we may need to
curtail or cease our operations.
The potential profitability of our
oil and gas ventures depends upon factors beyond our control.
The potential profitability
of oil and gas properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control. For instance, world prices and markets for oil and
gas are unpredictable, highly volatile, potentially subject to governmental fixing, pegging, controls, or any combination of these
and other factors, and respond to changes in domestic, international, political, social, and economic environments. Additionally,
due to worldwide economic uncertainty, the availability and cost of funds for production and other expenses have become increasingly
difficult, if not impossible, to project. In addition, adverse weather conditions can also hinder drilling operations. These changes
and events may materially affect our financial performance. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and the combination of
these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.
We may fail to fully identify problems
with any properties we acquire.
Although we conduct
a review of properties we acquire which we believe is consistent with industry practices, we can give no assurance that we have
identified or will identify all existing or potential problems associated with such properties or that we will be able to mitigate
any problems we do identify.
The oil and gas industry is highly
competitive and there is no assurance that we will be successful in acquiring oil and gas interests or leases.
The oil and gas industry
is intensely competitive. We compete with numerous individuals and companies, including many major oil and gas companies, which
may have substantially greater technical, financial and operational resources and staffs. Accordingly, there is a high degree of
competition for desirable oil and gas leases, suitable properties for drilling operations and necessary drilling equipment, as
well as for access to funds. We cannot predict if the necessary funds can be raised or that any projected work will be completed
or additional oil and gas interests acquired.
Oil and gas operations are subject
to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing
an adverse effect on our company.
Oil and gas operations
are subject to federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal
of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Oil and gas operations are also subject
to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and
use of drilling methods and equipment. Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted;
no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local
authorities may be changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with
such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect
on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages. To date we have not been required
to spend any material amount on compliance with environmental regulations.
However, we may be required
to do so in future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.
Exploration and production activities
are subject to certain environmental regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our operations.
In general, our exploration,
development and production activities are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental
quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement
or continuance of a given operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations has not had a material effect on our operations
or financial condition to date. Specifically, we are subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges
and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites
to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed
and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us
any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry. We believe that our operations comply,
in all material respects, with all applicable environmental regulations. Our operating partners maintain insurance coverage customary
to the industry; however, we are not fully insured against all possible environmental risks.
Exploratory drilling involves many
risks and we may become liable for pollution or other liabilities which may have an adverse effect on our financial position.
Drilling operations
generally involve a high degree of risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, power outages, labor disruptions,
blow-outs, sour gas leakage, fire, inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor, and other risks are
involved. We may become subject to liability for pollution or hazards against which we cannot adequately insure or which we may
elect not to insure. Incurring any such liability may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and operations.
Risks Associated with Mineral Exploration
and Development
The search for valuable
minerals as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that the exploration of any of the properties
in which we have or may acquire an interest will uncover commercially viable bodies of mineralization. It is likely that such properties
will not contain any reserves and, in all likelihood, any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost. In addition, problems
such as unusual or unexpected geological formations or other variable conditions are involved in exploration and, often result
in unsuccessful exploration efforts.
In addition, due to
our limited capital and mineralized materials, we are limited in the amount of exploration work we can do. As a result, our already
low probability of successfully locating commercially viable bodies of mineralization will be reduced significantly further. Therefore,
we may not find a commercial mineable ore deposit prior to exhausting our funds. Furthermore, exploration costs may be higher than
anticipated, in which case, the risk of utilizing all of our funds prior to locating any ore deposits shall be greatly increased.
Factors that could cause exploration costs to increase are: adverse conditions, difficult terrain and shortages of qualified personnel.
Because we do not have any revenues
from mining operations, we expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.
Prior to completing
exploration on our mineral properties, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues.
We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. If we are unable to generate financing to continue
the exploration of our mineral properties, we will fail and you will lose your entire investment in this offering.
None of the mineralized material
properties in which we have an interest or the right to earn an interest have any known reserves.
We currently have an
interest or the right to earn an interest in one (1) property, which does not have any reserves. Based on our exploration activities
through the date of this document, we do not have sufficient information upon which to assess the ultimate success of our exploration
efforts. If we do not establish mineral reserves we may be required to curtail or suspend our operations, in which case the market
value of our common stock may decline and you may lose all or a portion of your investment.
We have only completed
the initial stages of exploration of our property, and thus have no way to evaluate whether we will be able to operate the mineral
exploration and development side of our business successfully. To date, we have been involved primarily in acquiring interests
in properties and in conducting preliminary exploration of our property.
We are subject to all the risks inherent
to mineral exploration, which may have an adverse effect on our business operations.
Potential investors
should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such
enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays
encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include,
but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current
estimates. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will likely fail and you will lose your entire investment.
We are subject to the
numerous risks and hazards inherent to the mining industry and resource exploration including, without limitation, the following:
|
·
|
interruptions caused by adverse weather conditions; and
|
|
|
·
|
unforeseen limited sources of supplies resulting in shortages of materials, equipment and availability of experienced manpower.
|
The prices and availability
of such equipment, facilities, supplies and manpower may change and have an adverse effect on our operations, causing us to suspend
operations or cease our activities completely.
It is possible that our title for
the mineral properties in which we have an interest will be challenged by third parties.
We have not obtained
title insurance for our property. It is possible that the title to the property in which we have our interest will be challenged
or impugned. If such claims are successful, we may lose our interest in such property.
Our failure to compete with our competitors
in mineral exploration for financing, acquiring mining claims, and for qualified managerial and technical employees will cause
our business operations to slow down or be suspended.
Our competition includes
large established mineral exploration companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical mineralized
materials than we have. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to acquire additional attractive mining claims or financing
on terms we consider acceptable. We may also compete with other mineral exploration companies in the recruitment and retention
of qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees,
our exploration programs may be slowed down or suspended.
Compliance with environmental regulations
applicable to our operations may adversely affect our capital liquidity.
All phases of our operations
in Canada, where our property is located, will be subject to environmental regulations. Environmental legislation in Canada is
evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more
stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers,
directors and employees. It is possible that future changes in environmental regulation will adversely affect our operations as
compliance will be more burdensome and costly.
Because we have not
allocated any money for reclamation of any of our mining claims, we may be subject to fines if a mining claim is not restored to
its original condition upon termination of our activities.
Item
1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
None.
Item 2. Properties
We do not own any properties
other than (i) a 100% leasehold interest in six mining leases known as the Fostung tungsten property acquired in June 2011 (see
Description of Business) and (ii) oil and gas properties acquired during 2008 (see Description of Business). Our corporate
offices are located at 10180 – 101 Street, Suite 3400, Edmonton, AB, Canada, T5J3S4.
Item 3. Legal proceedings
We are currently not
a party to any material pending legal proceedings or government actions, including any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceedings.
In addition, management is not aware of any known litigation or liabilities involving the operators of our properties that could
affect our operations. Should any liabilities incur in the future, they will be accrued based on management’s best estimate
of the potential loss. As such, there is no adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flow at this
time. Furthermore, we do not believe that there are any proceedings to which any of our directors, officers, or affiliates, any
owner of record of the beneficially or more than five percent of our common stock, or any associate of any such director, officer,
affiliate, or security holder is a party adverse or has a material interest adverse to us.

Transfer Agent
The transfer agent
of our common stock is Worldwide Stock Transfer, LLC, having an office at 433 Hackensack Avenue, Level L. Hackensack, NJ, USA 07601.
Penny Stock
The Securities and
Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Our
stock is currently a “penny stock.” Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other
than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price
and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules
require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized
risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market
for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s
duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other
requirements of Securities’ laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and
ask prices for penny stocks and significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number
for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in
penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide to the customer, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, (a) bid and offer quotations
for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares
to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such
stock; and (d) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the
broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive
the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions
involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement.
These disclosure requirements
may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock if it becomes subject to these penny
stock rules.
Rule 144
There were 63,075,122
shares of our common stock issued and outstanding at March 26, 2012, of which 50,004,300 shares are deemed "restricted securities,"
within the meaning of Rule 144. Absent registration under the Securities Act, the sale of such shares is subject to Rule 144, as
promulgated under the Securities Act.
In general, under Rule
144, subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions, a person deemed to be one of our affiliates, who has beneficially
owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least one year is permitted to sell in a brokerage transaction, within any three-month
period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of the same class,
or, if our common stock is quoted on a stock exchange, the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding
the sale, if greater.
Rule 144 also permits
a person who presently is not and who has not been an affiliate of ours for at least three months immediately preceding the sale
and who has beneficially owned the shares of common stock for at least nine months to sell such shares without restriction other
than the requirement that there be current public information as set forth in Rule 144. To the extent that Rule 144 is otherwise
available, this provision is currently applicable to all of the restricted shares. If a non-affiliate has held the shares for more
than one year, such person may make unlimited sales pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction.
The possibility that
substantial amounts of our common stock may be sold under Rule 144 into the public market may adversely affect prevailing market
prices for the common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital in the future through the sale of equity securities.
Please refer to “
RISK FACTORS
.”
Dividend Policy
We have not paid any
dividends on our common stock and our board of directors presently intends to continue a policy of retaining earnings, if any,
for use in our operations. The declaration and payment of dividends in the future, of which there can be no assurance, will be
determined by the board of directors in light of conditions then existing, including earnings, financial condition, capital requirements
and other factors. The Nevada Revised Statutes prohibit us from declaring dividends where, if after giving effect to the distribution
of the dividend:
|
·
|
we would not be able to pay our debts as they become
due in the usual course of business; or
|
|
·
|
our total assets would be less than the sum of our
total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have preferential rights superior
to those receiving the distribution.
|
Except as set forth
above, there are no restrictions that currently materially limit our ability to pay dividends or which we reasonably believe are
likely to limit materially the future payment of dividends on common stock.

7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Discussion and Analysis
The following discussion and analysis
is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States, and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes. The preparation
of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates
on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. In addition, the
following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not
limited to, those discussed in “
Forward Looking Statements
,” and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Results of Operations
Year Ended
December 31, 2011 (Fiscal 2011) versus Year Ended December 31, 2010 (Fiscal 2010)
Revenues
-
Sales of crude oil totaled $25,605 and $29,960 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which represents 78%
and 75% of our total oil and gas revenues for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Sales of natural
gas totaled $7,182 and $9,886 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Total oil and gas revenues decreased
18% in 2011 compared to 2010 due to the natural decline of the wells. Average daily production on an equivalent basis was 1.1 BOE
in 2011 compared to 1.8 BOE in 2010. Oil remained the primary portion of our revenue mix at 78% in 2011 compared to 75% in 2010.
Oil production during
2011 totaled 291 (2010 – 446) barrels and generated revenues of $25,605 (2010 - $29,960). The 35% decline in production was
offset by a 31% increase in the average price per barrel.
Gas production during
2011 totaled 719 (2010 – 1,184) Mcf and generated $7,182 (2010 - $9,886) in revenue. The 39% decline in production was offset
by a 20% increase in average gas prices.
Lease Operating Expenses
-
Lease operating expenses for 2011 decreased 15% to $21,236 (2010 - $24,988) due to decreased production.
Impairment of Oil
and Gas Properties -
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment of oil and gas properties decreased 96% to $3,264
(2010 - $79,245) in 2011 due to the carrying value of our wells approaching salvage value and was determined using a systematic
and rational method. We recorded an impairment loss (included in depreciation, depletion, amortization and impairment) of $0 (2010
- $33,150) for the year ended December 31, 2011, in order to state the carrying cost at the lower of fair market value or carrying
costs.
Project Research
and Development -
For the year ended December 31, 2011 we recorded project research and development expenses of $36,851 (2010
- $0).
Expenses
–
Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, legal costs, investor relations costs, stock based
compensation costs, accounting costs and other professional and administrative costs. For the year ended December 31, 2011 we recorded
General and Administrative expenses of $536,090 (2010 - $322,618) respectively. This amount includes, professional fees - accounting
of $76,233 (2010 - $103,845); legal $64,092 (2010 - $44,187); public relations, filing, transfer and regulatory fees of $43,044
(2010 - $17,414); management, director and consulting fees of $94,000, $48,000 and $101,845 (2010 - $35,000, $20,000 and $48,527)
respectively.
Exploration Expenditures
– Exploration expenses on the Fostung property are charged to operations as they are incurred. For the year ended December
31, 2011 we recorded exploration expenses of $227,944 (2010 - $0) respectively.
Change in Fair Value
of Warrant Liability -
As a result of adjusting the warrant liability to fair value, we recorded a non-cash gain of $2,744,200
(non-cash loss 2,434,985 in 2010) and $2,503,841 (non-cash loss of $1,444,636 in 2010) relating to the Series A and Series B Warrants,
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2011. The change in fair value is in part due to the extension of the warrant terms
to December 31, 2011 for both Series from January 28, 2011 and July 28, 2011 for the Series A and Series B, respectively. A total
of 0 (2010 - 12,900,000) shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance upon exercise of warrants outstanding
as of December 31, 2011.

Our Oil and Gas Interests
We utilize the full
cost method of accounting for our oil and gas activities. In accordance with the full cost method of accounting, all costs associated
with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs and related asset
retirement costs, are capitalized. Net capitalized costs associated with oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2011 and
2010 is summarized as follows:

Capital expenditures
totaled $599 (2010 - $9,303) for the year ended December 31, 2011.
At the time of acquisition,
Haile #1 was being recompleted to a zone that was previously productive. Once the recompletion efforts were final and
the well did not support production, an exploratory drilling program was started in early 2009 to complete a new unproven upper
zone. The new upper zone completion also resulted in no oil or gas production and the well was shut-in during August 2009.
In accordance with our accounting policies, we assessed this well, at December 31, 2009, to determine whether the well was recorded
at the lower of cost or fair market value. Upon completion of our assessment, we impaired the well to the extent of anticipated
salvage value of the equipment and recorded an asset retirement obligation to accrue for estimated closure costs. In January 2011,
Leexus Oil LLC, the operator who also owns a working interest in the well provided to us with a plan for the re-completion of the
well. We have decided not to participate in the proposed re-completion of the Reeves #1H (Haile) well.
In March 2011, Leexus
Oil LLC, the operator, who also owns a working interest in the Onnie Ray #1H well provided us with a plan for the re-completion
of the well. We have decided not to participate in the proposed re-completion of the Onnie Ray #1H well.

Mineral Property Interests
|
(a)
|
On June 8, 2011, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement,
the Company paid $519,750 (CAD $500,000) in cash for the acquisition of EMC Metals Corp's. 100% leasehold interest in two mining
leases known as the Fostung tungsten property. The Fostung tungsten property consists of two contiguous claim blocks of 30 claims
totaling 485 hectors. The nine claims covered by Mining Lease One expire on October 31, 2031. The twenty one claims covered
by Mining Lease Two which originally expired on March 31, 2011 are in the process of being renewed and extended three years to
2014 by the MNDMF. The Company has performed the necessary assessment work and applied to the MNDMF to extend the expiry of Lease
Two to October 2032. The Fostung property is located in Foster Township, Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario, Canada. It is
approximately 8 kilometers southeast of the town of Espanola and 70 kilometers west-southwest of the town of Sudbury. An excellent
all-weather gravel road extends from Espanola, crossing the property and providing access to the west bay of Lake Panache.
|
A production
bonus in the amount of CAD $500,000 is payable to Breakwater Resources Ltd. by the Company within thirty business days following
the commencement of commercial production from the property. A 1% net smelter return royalty on the property is also payable to
Breakwater Resources Ltd. by the Company. No capitalized costs have been amortized as of December 31, 2011. The Company did not
incur any impairment of these capitalized costs through December 31, 2011.
|
(b)
|
The Fostung property also consists of four unpatented
mining claims, located in Foster Township in the Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario, Canada, comprised of 26 claim units, were recorded
in the name of Fostung Resources Ltd. on June 7, 2011. Two of the four mining claim blocks consisting of two contiguous claims
are located to the north east of the structural trend in the two contiguous claim blocks of 30 claims referred to in (a) above.
Two of the four mining claim blocks consisting of two contiguous claims are located to the south west of the structural trend
in the two contiguous claim blocks of 30 claims referred to in (a) above. Each of the four claims has an expiration date of June
7, 2013. The aggregate amount of work required to renew the four claims is CAD $10,400.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company currently
finances its activities primarily by the private placement of securities. There is no assurance that equity funding will be accessible
to the Company at the times and in the amounts required to fund the Company’s activities. There are many conditions beyond
the Company’s control which have a direct bearing on the level of investor interest in the purchase of Company securities.
The Company may also attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint
venture development of its properties; however, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available
for operations. Debt financing has not been used to fund the Company’s property acquisitions and exploration activities,
and the Company has no current plans to use debt financing. The Company does not have “standby” credit facilities,
or off-balance sheet arrangements and it does not use hedges or other financial derivatives. The Company has no agreements or understandings
with any person as to additional financing.
At December 31, 2011,
we had cash of $787,771 (December 31, 2010 - $2,052,305) and working capital of $728,592 (working capital deficiency December 31,
2010 – $3,215,795). Total liabilities as of December 31, 2011 were $129,009 (December 31, 2010 - $5,323,273).
Our general business
strategy is to acquire mineral properties and oil and gas properties either directly or through the acquisition of operating entities.
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of America and applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities
and commitments in the normal course of business. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, we have incurred
recurring operating losses since inception and used cash of $747,458 from operating activities in 2011. We require additional funds
to meet our obligations and maintain our operations. We have sufficient working capital to (i) pay our administrative and general
operating expenses through December 31, 2012, and (ii) to conduct our preliminary exploration programs. Without sufficient cash
flow from operations, we may need to obtain additional funds (presumably through equity offerings and/or debt borrowing) in order,
if warranted, to implement additional exploration programs on our properties. While we may attempt to generate additional working
capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development of our properties, there is no assurance
that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. Failure to obtain such additional financing may
result in a reduction of our interest in certain properties or an actual foreclosure of our interest. We have no agreements or
understandings with any person as to such additional financing.
Our mineral exploration
properties have not commenced commercial production.
Cash Flow
Operating activities:
We used cash of $747,458 for the year ended December 31, 2011 (2010 - $348,162). The following is a breakdown of the cash and non-cash
items used for operating activities, aside from the net losses in each period: Impairment and depreciation of $3,264 (2010 $79,245);
Stock-based compensation expense $0 (2010 compensation benefit $(36,138)); Accretion of asset retirement obligation of $2,758 (2010
- $2,558); a non-cash gain in fair value of warrant liability of $5,248,041) (non-cash loss in 2010 - $3,879,621); gain on disposal
of oil & gas assets of $2,140 (2010 - $0); changes in accounts receivable resulted in a decrease in cash of $11,899 (2010 -
increase in cash of $6,144); changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses (including related party) resulted in an increase
in cash of $51,018 (2010 - decrease of $12,966).
Investing Activities:
During the year ended December 31, 2011, $519,750 was spent acquiring the Fostung property in Ontario Canada (year ended December
31, 2010 - $0). During the year ended December 31, 2011
additions to capitalized costs of oil and gas
properties were $599 (2010 - $9,303) and proceeds from the sale of oil and gas assets were $7,377 (2010 - $0).
Financing Activities:
We intend to finance our activities by raising capital through the equity markets. There were no financing activities during 2011
and 2010.
Dividends
The Company has neither
declared nor paid any dividends on its Common stock. We intend to retain our earnings to finance growth and expand our operations
and do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
Asset-Backed Commercial Paper
The Company has no
asset-backed commercial paper.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
and Risks
Fair
value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant
information
about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties
and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect
estimated fair value.
The carrying value
of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accounts payable – related parties,
and warrant liability approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Management is of the
opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
The Company operates
both inside and outside of the United States of America and is exposed to foreign currency risk due to the fluctuation between
the Canadian dollar, in which the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Fostung Resources operates in, and the U.S. dollar.
Share Capital
At March 26, 2012, we had:
-
Authorized share capital of 10,000,000 (December 31, 2011 – 10,000,000) preferred
shares with par value of $0.0001 each.
-
Authorized share capital of 200,000,000 (December 31, 2011, – 200,000,000)
common shares with par value of $0.00001 each.
-
63,075,122 common shares were issued and outstanding (December 31, 2011, –
63,075,122, December 31, 2010 – 63,075,122).
-
0 Series A warrants (December 31, 2011, – 0, December 31, 2010 – 6,450,000).
The Series A warrants are exercisable at $0.60 per share, with expiry date of December 31, 2011.

-
0 stock options outstanding under our incentive stock option plan.

which 120,000,000 were available for future issuance as of March 26, 2012, December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Market Risk Disclosures
We have not entered
into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes during the years ended December 31, 2011 and
2010, and the subsequent period to March 26, 2012.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual
Obligations
We do not have any
off-balance sheet arrangements or contractual obligations at December 31, 2011, and the subsequent period to March 26, 2012, that
are likely to have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that have
not been disclosed in our consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Accounting Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Our accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our December
31, 2011, consolidated financial statements. Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates include, the determination
of impairment of mineral properties and oil and gas properties; useful lives for depreciation and amortization of property, plant
and equipment;
valuation allowances for future income tax assets; fair value of non-cash stock-based
compensation; reclamation and environmental obligations
are critical accounting policies that are subject to estimates and
assumptions regarding future activities are
significant reporting areas impacted by management’s
judgments and estimates. Management’s judgments and estimates in these areas are based on information available from both
internal and external sources, including engineers, geologists, consultants and historical experience in similar matters. Actual
results could differ from the estimates as additional information becomes known.
The more significant
reporting areas impacted by management’s judgments and estimates are accruals related to oil and gas sales and expenses;
estimates used in the impairment of oil and gas properties; and the estimated future timing and cost of asset retirement obligations.
The carrying values of oil and gas properties are particularly susceptible to change in the near term. Changes in the future estimated
oil and gas reserves or the estimated future cash flows attributable to the reserves that are utilized for impairment analysis
could have a significant impact on the future results of operations.
Mineral properties
The
Company has concluded that mineral rights meet the definition of tangible assets. Accordingly, the Company
accounts for
its mineral properties on a cost basis whereby all direct costs, net of pre-production revenue, relative to the acquisition of
the properties are capitalized. All sales and option proceeds received are first credited against the costs of the related property,
with any excess credited to earnings. Once commercial production has commenced, the net costs of the applicable property will be
charged to operations using the unit-of-production method based on estimated proven and probable recoverable reserves. The net
costs related to abandoned properties are charged to operations.
Costs of exploring,
carrying and retaining unproven properties are charged to operations as incurred until such time that proven reserves are discovered.
From that time forward, the Company will capitalize all costs to the extent that future cash flow from mineral reserves equals
or exceeds the costs deferred. The deferred costs will be amortized over the recoverable reserves when a property reaches commercial
production. As at December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have proven reserves. Exploration activities conducted jointly
with others are reflected at the Company's proportionate interest in such activities.
Full Cost Method of Accounting for Oil
and Gas Properties
The Company has elected
to utilize the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas activities. In accordance with the full cost method of accounting,
all costs associated with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead
costs and related asset retirement costs, are capitalized.
All capitalized costs
of oil and gas properties, including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the unit-of-production
method using estimates of proved reserves once proved reserves are determined to exist. The Company has not yet obtained reserve
reports. Management is assessing production data to determine the feasibility of obtaining reserves studies. At December
31, 2011, there were no capitalized costs subject to amortization.
Oil and gas properties
without estimated proved reserves are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the properties can be determined or until
impairment occurs. As a result of management’s impairment analysis, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $3,264 and
$79,245 during 2011 and 2010, respectively. The impairment is similar to amortization and therefore is not added to the costs of
properties being amortized.
Sales of oil and gas
properties are accounted for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would
significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss
is recognized in income. The Company has not sold any oil and gas properties.
Full Cost Ceiling Test
At the end of each
quarterly reporting period, the unamortized costs of oil and gas properties are subject to a “ceiling test” which basically
limits capitalized costs to the sum of the estimated future net revenues from proved reserves, discounted at 10% per annum to present
value, based on current economic and operating conditions, adjusted for related income tax effects.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company accounts
for its future asset retirement obligations by recording the fair value of the liability during the period in which it was incurred.
The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The increase in carrying
value of a property associated with the capitalization of an asset retirement obligation is included in proven oil and gas properties
in the balance sheets. The Company’s asset retirement obligation consists of costs related to the plugging of wells, removal
of facilities and equipment and site restoration on its oil and gas properties. The asset retirement liability is allocated to
operating expense using a systematic and rational method. Asset retirement obligations amounted to $55,316 and $52,558 at December
31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Warrant Liability Derivative
The Company evaluates
financial instruments for freestanding or embedded derivatives. As part of the July 2008 financing, the Company issued warrants
that did not meet the specific conditions for equity classification. The Company is required to classify the fair value of the
warrants issued as a liability, with subsequent changes in fair value to be recorded as income (loss) on change in fair value of
warrant liability. The fair value of warrants will continue to be classified as a liability until the warrants are exercised, expire
or are amended in a way that would no longer require classification as a liability.
Oil and Gas Revenues
The Company recognizes
oil and gas revenues when oil and gas production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred
and title has transferred, and if collectability of the revenue is probable. Delivery occurs and title is transferred when production
has been delivered to a purchaser’s pipeline or truck. As a result of the numerous requirements necessary to gather information
from purchasers or various measurement locations, calculate volumes produced, perform field and wellhead allocations, distribute
and disburse funds to various working interest partners and royalty owners, the collection of revenues from oil and gas production
may take up to 45 days following the month of production. Therefore, the Company may make accruals for revenues and accounts receivable
based on estimates of its share of production. Since the settlement process may take 30 to 60 days following the month of actual
production, its financial results may include estimates of production and revenues for the related time period. The Company will
record any differences between the actual amounts ultimately received and the original estimates in the period they become finalized.
Related Party Transactions
Our proposed business
raises potential conflicts of interests between certain of our officers and directors and us. Certain of our directors are directors
of other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate,
our directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation. In
the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain
from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In appropriate cases, we will establish a special
committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict. From time
to time, several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby
allowing for their participation in larger programs, involvement in a greater number of programs and reduction of the financial
exposure with respect to any one program. It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest
in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.
In determining whether
we will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider
the potential benefits to us, the degree of risk to which we may be exposed and our financial position at that time. Other than
as indicated, we have no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest. We are not aware of the existence of
any conflict of interest as described herein.
Other than as disclosed
below, during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the subsequent period to March 26, 2012, none of our current directors,
officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of the foregoing, nor, to the best of our information and belief, any
of our former directors, senior officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of such former directors, officers or
principal shareholders, has or had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or in any proposed transaction
which has materially affected or will materially affect us.
During the
year ended December 31, 2011, management fees of $94,000 (year ended December 31, 2010 - $35,000) were paid to officers of
the Company. Accounts payable to Mr. Cacace amounted to $36,000 at December 31, 2011. The transactions were recorded at the
exchange amount, being the value established and agreed to by the related parties.
During the year ended
December 31, 2011, directors fees of $48,000 (year ended December 31, 2010 - $20,000) were paid to non-officer directors of the
Company. Accounts payable to Mr. Sierchio amounted to $2,000 at December 31, 2011. The transactions were recorded at the exchange amount, being the value established and agreed to by the related parties.
During the year
ended December 31, 2011, legal fees of $47,312 (year ended December 31, 2010 – $44,188) were paid or are due to our
attorney, Mr. Sierchio, who was appointed to our board effective August 26, 2010. Accounts payable to Mr. Sierchio for
legal fees amounted to $7,850 at December 31, 2011.
CURRENT OUTLOOK
General Economic Conditions
Current problems in
credit markets and deteriorating global economic conditions have led to a slowdown of growth. The slowdown of growth is a major
concern, as one of the biggest risks to a full recovery for the metals industry would be a weak and/or slow demand resurgence in
critical end markets. Prices for raw materials continue to climb and/or remain near record highs. It is difficult in these conditions
to forecast metal prices and demand trends for products that we would produce if we had current mining operations. Credit market
conditions have also increased the cost of obtaining capital and limited the availability of funds. Accordingly, management is
reviewing the effects of the current conditions on our business.
It
is anticipated that for the foreseeable future, we will rely on the equity markets to meet our
financing
need. We will also consider entering into joint venture arrangements to advance our projects.
Capital and Exploration Expenditures
We are reviewing our
capital and exploration spending in light of current market conditions. As a result of our review, we may curtail a portion of
our capital and exploration expenditures during 2012.
We are currently concentrating
our mineral exploration activities in Canada and our oil and gas operations in the U.S., and examining data relating to the potential
acquisition or joint venturing of additional mineral and oil and gas properties in either the exploration or development stage.
Plans for Next Twelve Months
The following Plan
of Operation contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as described below. Our actual results could
differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
During the next 12
months we intend to raise additional funds through equity offerings and/or debt borrowing to meet our administrative/general operating
expenses and to conduct work on our exploration properties. There is, of course, no assurance that we will be able to do so and
we do not have any agreements or arrangements with respect to any such financing.
Our mineral exploration
properties have not commenced commercial production and we have no history of earnings or cash flow from our operations. While
we may attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development
of its property, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.
We will concentrate
our mineral exploration activities on the Fostung Tungsten property in Canada and examine data relating to the potential acquisition
or joint venturing of additional mineral properties in either the exploration or development stage. Additional employees will be
hired on a consulting basis as required by the exploration properties.
Our exploration work
program for the remainder of 2012 will focus on the Fostung property. The work will entail drilling, channel sampling, geophysical
surveying, geochemical surveying and ground magnetic surveys

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Janus Resources, Inc.
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets of Janus Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("the Company") as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows
for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company
has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's
internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Janus Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries
as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

JANUS RESOURCES, INC.
(Formerly Entheos Technologies, Inc.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization and Nature of Operations
Janus Resources, Inc. (formerly Entheos
Technologies, Inc.) (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”) is in the business of
location, acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, development of both mineral exploration properties and oil and gas properties. The
Company pursues oil and gas prospects in partnership with oil and gas companies with exploration, development and production expertise.
Currently, its interests consist of non-operating, minority working interests in oil and gas properties. On June 8, 2011, the Company
completed the acquisition of the Fostung tungsten property, located in Foster Township, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.
The Company’s general business strategy
is to acquire mineral properties and oil and gas properties either directly or through the acquisition of operating entities. Its
continued operations and the recoverability of property costs are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral
and oil and gas reserves, the confirmation of its interest in the underlying properties, its ability to obtain necessary financing
to complete development, and future profitable production.
Incorporated under the laws of the State
of Nevada, the Company has an authorized capital of 200,000,000 shares of $0.00001 par value common stock, of which 63,075,122
shares are outstanding as of December 31, 2011.
Effective January 5, 2011, the Company
changed its name from “Entheos Technologies, Inc.” to “Janus Resources, Inc.” so as to more fully reflect
the Company’s operations.
The Company has recently incurred net operating
losses and operating cash flow deficits. The Company’s accumulated deficit is $4,247,045 at December 31, 2011. It may continue
to incur losses from operations and operating cash flow deficits in the future. Management believes that the Company’s cash
and cash equivalent balances, anticipated cash flows from operations and other external sources of credit will be sufficient to
meet its cash requirements through December 2012 if not further. The future of the Company after December 2012 will depend
in large part on its ability to successfully generate cash flows from operations and raise capital from external sources to fund
operations.
Note 2. Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles
of Accounting
In preparing the accompanying financial
statements, the Company has evaluated information about subsequent events that became available to them through the date the financial
statements were issued. This information relates to events, transactions or changes in circumstances that would require
us to adjust the amounts reported in the financial statements or to disclose information about those events, transactions or changes
in circumstances.
Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Fostung Resources, Limited (“Fostung”) and Entheos Energy,
Inc. (“Entheos”). Collectively, they are referred to herein as "the Company". All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated. Fostung was formed on incorporated on May 10, 2011 in Ontario Canada. Entheos was
incorporated
under the laws of the State of Nevada
on October 5, 2000.
The Company accounts for its undivided
interest in oil and gas properties using the proportionate consolidation method, whereby its share of assets, liabilities, revenues
and expenses are included in its financial statements.
Applicable Accounting Guidance
Any reference in these notes to applicable
accounting guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative non-governmental United States GAAP as found in the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC").
Accounting Estimates
The preparation
of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Significant areas requiring the use of management estimates
include the determination of impairment of mineral properties, oil and gas properties and equipment, useful lives for amortization,
valuation allowances for future income tax assets, fair value of non-cash stock-based compensation, common stock warrants and reclamation
and environmental obligations. Actual results, as determined by future events, may differ from these estimates.
Management’s
judgments and estimates in these areas are based on information available from both internal and external sources, including engineers,
geologists, consultants and historical experience in similar matters. The more significant reporting areas impacted by management’s
judgments and estimates are accruals related to oil and gas sales and expenses; estimates used in the impairment of oil and gas
properties; and the estimated future timing and cost of asset retirement obligations.
The carrying values of oil and gas properties
are particularly susceptible to change in the near term. Changes in the future estimated oil and gas reserves or the estimated
future cash flows attributable to the reserves that are utilized for impairment analysis could have a significant impact on the
future results of operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid
instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have
any cash equivalents at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
Mineral Properties
The Company
has concluded that mineral rights meet the definition of tangible assets. Accordingly, the Company
accounts for its mineral
properties on a cost basis whereby all direct costs, net of pre-production revenue, relative to the acquisition of the properties
are capitalized. All sales and option proceeds received are first credited against the costs of the related property, with any
excess credited to earnings. Once commercial production has commenced, the net costs of the applicable property will be charged
to operations using the unit-of-production method based on estimated proven and probable recoverable reserves. The net costs related
to abandoned properties are charged to operations.
Costs of exploring, carrying and retaining
unproven properties are charged to operations as incurred until such time that proven reserves are discovered. From that time forward,
the Company will capitalize all costs to the extent that future cash flow from mineral reserves equals or exceeds the costs deferred.
The deferred costs will be amortized over the recoverable reserves when a property reaches commercial production. As at December
31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not have proven reserves. Exploration activities conducted jointly with others are reflected
at the Company's proportionate interest in such activities.
Full Cost Method of Accounting for Oil
and Gas Properties
The Company has elected to utilize the
full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas activities. In accordance with the full cost method of accounting, all costs
associated with acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas reserves, including directly related overhead costs and
related asset retirement costs are capitalized.
All capitalized costs of oil and gas properties,
including the estimated future costs to develop proved reserves, are amortized on the unit-of-production method using estimates
of proved reserves once proved reserves are determined to exist. The Company has not yet obtained reserve reports. Management
is assessing production data to determine the feasibility of obtaining reserves studies. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, there
were no capitalized costs subject to amortization.
Oil and gas properties without estimated
proved reserves are not amortized until proved reserves associated with the properties can be determined or until impairment occurs.
As a result of management’s impairment analysis, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $3,264 and $79,245 during 2011
and 2010, respectively. The impairment is similar to amortization and therefore is not added to the costs of properties being amortized.
See “Note 6. Fair Value Measurement” for further information.
Sales of oil and gas properties are accounted
for as adjustments of capitalized costs with no gain or loss recognized, unless such adjustments would significantly alter the
relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves of oil and gas, in which case the gain or loss is recognized in income.
The Company has not sold any oil and gas properties.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company records the fair value of the
liability for closure and removal costs associated with the legal obligations upon retirement or removal of any tangible long-lived
assets by recording the fair value of the liability during the period in which it was incurred. The associated asset retirement
costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The increase in carrying value of a property associated
with the capitalization of an asset retirement obligation is included in proven oil and gas properties in the balance sheets. The
Company’s asset retirement obligation consists of costs related to the plugging of wells, removal of facilities and equipment
and site restoration on its oil and gas properties. The asset retirement liability is allocated to operating expense using a systematic
and rational method. Asset retirement obligations amounted to $55,316 and $52,558 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived
assets for impairment at each balance sheet date and documents such impairment testing. The tests include an evaluation of the
assets and events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Oil and gas properties are subject to a
“ceiling test” which basically limits capitalized costs to the sum of the estimated future net revenues from proved
reserves, discounted at 10% per annum to present value, based on current economic and operating conditions, adjusted for related
income tax effects.
Mineral properties in the exploration stage
are monitored for impairment based on factors such as the Company's continued right to explore the area, exploration reports, assays,
technical reports, drill results and the Company's continued plans to fund exploration programs on the property, whether sufficient
work has been performed to indicate that the carrying amount of the mineral property cost carried forward as an asset will not
be fully recovered, even though a viable mine has been discovered.
The tests for long-lived assets in the
exploration, development or producing stage that would have a value beyond proven and probable reserves would be monitored for
impairment based on factors such as current market value of the mineral property and results of exploration, future asset utilization,
business climate, mineral prices and future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the related assets. Recoverability
of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated future net undiscounted
cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, including evaluating its reserves beyond proven and probable amounts.
The Company's policy is to record an impairment
loss in the period when it is determined that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable either due to impairment
or by abandonment of the property. The impairment loss is calculated as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds
its fair value. While the Company incurred losses from operations, these losses have not been in excess of planned expenditures
on the specific mineral properties in order to ultimately realize their value.
Warrant Liability Derivative
The Company evaluates financial instruments
for freestanding or embedded derivatives. As part of the July 2008 financing, the Company issued warrants that did not meet the
specific conditions for equity classification. The Company is required to classify the fair value of the warrants issued as a liability,
with subsequent changes in fair value to be recorded as income (loss) on change in fair value of warrant liability. The fair value
of the warrants were classified as a liability until the warrants expired on December 31, 2011.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has a stock option plan.
The Company measures and records in the
consolidated financial statements the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on
the grant-date fair value of the award, recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in
exchange for such award. Estimates of forfeitures of unvested instruments at the grant date are considered in determining the total
compensation to be recognized. Stock based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of consideration received or
equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliable and are periodically re-measured until counter party performance is complete.
The offset to the recorded stock based
compensation cost is to additional paid-in capital. Consideration received on the exercise of stock options is recorded as share
capital and the related additional paid-in capital is transferred to share capital.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing
model to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant. The Black-Scholes pricing model
requires management to make assumptions regarding the option lives, expected volatility, and risk free interest rates. See “Note
8. Stock Options” for additional information on the Company’s stock-based compensation plans.
Oil and Gas Revenues
The Company recognizes oil and gas revenues
when oil and gas production is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred,
and if collectability of the revenue is probable. Delivery occurs and title is transferred when production has been delivered to
a purchaser’s pipeline or truck. As a result of the numerous requirements necessary to gather information from purchasers
or various measurement locations, calculate volumes produced, perform field and wellhead allocations, distribute and disburse funds
to various working interest partners and royalty owners, the collection of revenues from oil and gas production may take up to
45 days following the month of production. Therefore, the Company may make accruals for revenues and accounts receivable based
on estimates of its share of production. Since the settlement process may take 30 to 60 days following the month of actual production,
its financial results may include estimates of production and revenues for the related time period. The Company will record any
differences between the actual amounts ultimately received and the original estimates in the period they become finalized.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes income taxes on
an accrual basis based on tax position taken or expected to be taken in our tax returns. A tax position is defined as a position
in a previously filed tax return or a position expected to be taken in a future tax filing that is reflected in measuring current
or deferred income tax assets and liabilities. Tax positions are recognized only when it is more likely than not (i.e., likelihood
of greater than 50%), based on technical merits, that the position would be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
Tax positions that meet the more likely than not threshold are measured using a probability-weighted approach as the largest amount
of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement. Income taxes are accounted for using an
asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences
of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is established to reduce
deferred tax assets if all, or some portion, of such assets will more than likely not be realized. Should they occur, our
policy is to classify interest and penalties related to tax positions as interest expense. Since our inception, no such interest
or penalties have been incurred.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The computation
of basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares that were outstanding during the
year. The computation of diluted net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares used in the
basic net income (loss) per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming the exercise of all
potentially dilutive common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method for shares subject to stock options and warrants.
At
December 31, 2011, the total number of potentially dilutive shares of common stock excluded from basic net loss per share was 0
(December 31, 2010 – 12,900,000).
See “Note 3. Earnings (Loss) Per Share” for further
discussion.
Foreign Currency Translation
Transactions and account balances originally
stated in currencies other than the U.S dollar have been translated into U.S. dollars as follows:
|
•
|
Revenue and expense items are translated at the average
exchange rate for the period in which they are incurred.
|
|
•
|
Non-monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of
exchange in effect on the dates the assets were acquired or the liabilities were incurred.
|
|
•
|
Monetary assets and liabilities at the exchange rate
at the balance sheet date.
|
Exchange gains and losses are recorded
in operations in the period in which they occur, except for exchange gains and losses related to translation of monetary assets
and liabilities associated with mineral properties, which are deferred and included in mineral properties.
Related Party Transactions
A related party is generally defined as
(i) any person who holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management,
(iii) someone who directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone
who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related
party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. See “Note 9. Related Party
Transactions” for further discussion.
Concentration of Risk
Financial instruments that subject the
Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable.
The Company occasionally has cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any
losses related to these balances, and management believes its credit risk to be minimal. Accounts receivable are with the operators
of the oil wells in which the Company participates. Given the close working relationship between the operators and the Company,
management believes its credit risk is minimal.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The Company measures certain financial
assets and liabilities at fair value based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability
(an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in on orderly transaction between market
participants. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value
due to the short-term nature of maturity of the instruments. See Note 6 for further discussion on fair value of financial instruments.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Updates
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04:
Fair value measurements update 2011-04
In May 2011, the FASB issued an update
to the authoritative guidance related to fair value measurements as a result of the FASB and the IASB working together to develop
common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
The amendments will add new disclosures, with a particular focus on Level 3 measurements. The objective of these amendments is
to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance
with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in this update are to be applied prospectively. The amendments are effective during interim
and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application is not permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance
to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05:
Presentation of Comprehensive Income 2011-05
In June 2011, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (ASU
2011-05). Under ASU 2011-05, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income,
and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate
but consecutive statements. Under both options, an entity will be required to present each component of net income along with total
net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount
for comprehensive income. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, "Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to
the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items
out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive
Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05" (ASU 2011-12), which deferred the requirement to present on the face of
the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income
while the FASB further deliberates this aspect of the proposal. The amendments contained in ASU 2011-05 do not change the items
that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.
The amendments also do not affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented. ASU 2011-05, as amended by ASU 2011-12, is
effective for us on January 1, 2012. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
Note 3. Earnings (Loss) Per Share (EPS)
Dilutive common stock equivalents include
0 warrants for 2011 and 12,900,000 warrants for 2010 which are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for
2010 because to do so would be anti-dilutive. All share and per share information are adjusted retroactively to reflect stock
splits and changes in par value, when applicable.

The Company has not obtained reserve studies
with estimated proved reserves. Management is assessing production data to determine the feasibility of obtaining reserves studies.
Therefore, at December 31, 2011 and 2010, there were no proved properties subject to amortization.
Properties which are not being amortized
are assessed quarterly, on a property-by-property basis, to determine whether they are recorded at the lower of cost or fair market
value. As a result of this analysis and lack of reserve studies, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $3,264 and $79,245
for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The impairment recognized was to bring the carrying costs of
the wells to their anticipated salvage value since most of the wells are approaching end of life unless additional capital investments
are made. The impairment is similar to amortization and therefore is not added to the cost of properties being amortized.
Costs incurred in oil and gas property

Note 5. Mineral Properties and Exploration Expenses
Foster Township, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada – Fostung
Tungsten Property
|
a)
|
On June 8, 2011, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement,
the Company paid CAD $500,000 in cash for the acquisition of EMC Metals Corp's. 100% leasehold interest in two mining leases known
as the Fostung tungsten property. The Fostung tungsten property consists of two contiguous claim blocks of 30 claims totaling
485 hectors. The nine claims covered by Mining Lease 108592 ("Lease One") expire on October 31, 2031. The
twenty one claims covered by Mining Lease 105604 ("Lease Two") which originally expired on March 31, 2011 are in the
process of being renewed and extended three years to 2014 by the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines and Forestry ("MNDMF"). The
Company has performed the necessary assessment work and applied to the MNDMF to extend the expiry of Lease Two to October 2032.
The Fostung property is located in Foster Township, Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario, Canada. It is approximately 8
kilometers southeast of the town of Espanola and 70 kilometers west-southwest of the town of Sudbury. An excellent all-weather
gravel road extends from Espanola, crossing the property and providing access to the west bay of Lake Panache.
|
A
production bonus in the amount of CAD $500,000 is payable to Breakwater Resources Ltd. by the Company within thirty business days
following the commencement of commercial production from the property. A 1% net smelter return royalty on the property is also
payable to Breakwater Resources Ltd. by the Company. No capitalized costs have been amortized as of December 31, 2011. The Company
did not incur any impairment of these capitalized costs through December 31, 2011.
|
b)
|
The Fostung property also consists of four unpatented
mining claims, located in Foster Township in the Sudbury Mining Division, Ontario, Canada, comprised of 26 claim units, were recorded
in the name of Fostung Resources Ltd. on June 7, 2011. Two of the four mining claim blocks consisting of two contiguous claims
are located to the north east of the structural trend in the two contiguous claim blocks of 30 claims referred to in (a) above.
Two of the four mining claim blocks consisting of two contiguous claims are located to the south west of the structural trend
in the two contiguous claim blocks of 30 claims referred to in (a) above. Each of the four claims has an expiration date of June
7, 2013. The aggregate amount of work required to renew the four claims is CAD $10,400.

Note 6. Fair Value Measurement
Fair value is defined within the accounting rules as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. The rules established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to
measure fair value. As presented in the tables below, this hierarchy consists of three broad levels:
Level 1: Valuations consist
of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and has the highest priority;
Level 2: Valuations rely on
quoted prices in markets that are not active or observable inputs over the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3: Valuations are based
on prices or third party or internal valuation models that require inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement and
are less observable and thus have the lowest priority.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring
Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on
a recurring basis in the Company’s Balance Sheet. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:
Warrant Liability
.
Warrant liability derivatives are valued at each quarter-end using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and are affected by changes
in inputs to that model including the Company’s stock price, expected stock price volatility, the contractual term, and the
risk-free interest rate. These
unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the liability.
Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the measurement of
fair value is deemed to use Level 3 inputs. The changes in value are recognized as other income (expense) in the statements of
operations. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances and changes in the warrant liability is included in Note 7.
The following table presents the Company’s
financial assets and liabilities, which were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2010, by
level within the fair value hierarchy (none as of December 31, 2011):

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring
Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on
a nonrecurring basis in the Company’s Balance Sheet. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair
values:
Oil and Gas Properties.
Oil and
gas properties which are not being amortized are assessed quarterly, on a property-by-property basis, to determine whether they
are recorded at the lower of cost or fair market value. In determining whether such costs should be impaired, the Company evaluates
historical experience, current drilling results, lease expiration dates, current oil and gas industry conditions, international
economic conditions, capital availability, and available geological and geophysical information. Given the unobservable nature
of the inputs, the measurement of fair value is deemed to use Level 3 inputs. The impairment is included in operating costs. See
Note 4 for a summary of changes in capitalized costs of oil and gas properties.
Asset Retirement Obligation.
The
Company estimates asset retirement obligations pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 410, “
Asset Retirement and
Environmental Obligations
.” The income valuation technique is utilized by the Company to determine the fair value of
the liability at the point of inception by taking into account 1) the cost of abandoning oil and gas wells, which is based on the
Company’s historical experience for similar work, or estimates from independent third-parties; 2) the economic lives of its
properties, which is based on estimates by management; 3) the inflation rate; and 4) the credit adjusted risk-free rate, which
takes into account the Company’s credit risk and the time value of money. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the
initial measurement of the asset retirement obligation liability is deemed to use Level 3 inputs. See Note 4 for a summary of changes
in the Company’s ARO liability.
The following table presents the Company’s
financial assets and liabilities, which were accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2011,

Note 7. Stockholders’ Equity
On July 28, 2008, the Company completed
a self-directed private placement of 6,450,000 units at a price of $0.50 per unit or $3,225,000 in the aggregate. Each unit consists
of one share of the Company’s common stock, one Series A stock purchase warrant (“Series A warrant”) to purchase
one share of common stock at $0.60 per share for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance and one Series B stock purchase
warrant (“Series B warrant”) to purchase one share of common stock at $0.75 per share for a period of 24 months from
the date of issuance (refer to the “Warrants” section below for a discussion of the extension of the expiration date
of the warrants).
In the event that during the period when
the warrants are outstanding, if the Company issues common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share which is less
than the warrant exercise price, $0.60 per share for Series A warrants and $0.75 per share for Series B warrants, then the exercise
price for the warrants shall be reduced to equal the share price of the new issuance and the number of warrant shares issuable
shall be increased such that the aggregate exercise price payable shall be equal to the aggregate exercise price prior to such
adjustment according to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Dilutive Issuance”).
Warrants
Each of the Company’s warrants outstanding
entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock for each warrant share held. No warrants were exercised
prior to December 31, 2011, when they expired.
On December 14, 2009, the Company extended
the expiration date of the 6,450,000 Series A warrants from January 28, 2010 to July 28, 2010 and extended the expiration date
of the 6,450,000 Series B warrants from July 28, 2010 to January 28, 2011. The exercise price of the warrants was not changed.
On January 27, 2010, the Company extended
the expiration date of 6,450,000 Series A warrants again from July 28, 2010 to December 28, 2010 and extended the expiration date
of the 6,450,000 Series B warrants again from January 28, 2011 to July 28, 2011. The exercise price of the warrants was not changed.
On August 27, 2010, the Company extended
the expiration date of the 6,450,000 Series A warrants and the 6,450,000 Series B warrants to December 31, 2011. The exercise price
of the warrants was not changed.
The potential of a Dilutive Issuance to
the warrants’ exercise price and number of underlying shares of common stock may result in a settlement amount that does
not equal the difference between the fair value of a fixed number of the Company’s common stock and a fixed exercise price.
Accordingly, the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s stock and, therefore, are accounted for as a derivative
pursuant to ASC 815-40
Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity
which became effective January 1, 2009. Upon the adoption
of this guidance, the Company recognized a one-time decrease to opening accumulated deficit of $1,624,513.
During the period the warrants were outstanding,
the Company did not sell any shares of common stock or common stock equivalents that would result in an adjustment to the exercise
price or number of shares of common stock underlying the warrants outstanding and the warrants expired on December 31, 2011.
At December 31, 2010, the Company valued
the warrant liability using a Black-Scholes model (Level 3 inputs) containing the following assumptions:
|

As a result of adjusting the warrant liability
to fair value, we recorded a non-cash gain of $2,744,200 (non-cash loss $2,434,985 in 2010) and $2,503,841 (non-cash loss of $1,444,636
in 2010) relating to the Series A and Series B Warrants, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2011.
A total of 0 (2010 - 12,900,000) shares
of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance upon exercise of warrants outstanding as of December 31, 2011.
Note 8. Stock Options
The Company has an active stock option
plan that provides shares available for option grants to employees, directors and others. A total of 120,000,000 shares of the
Company’s common stock have been reserved for award under the stock option plan, of which 120,000,000 were available for
future issuance as of December 31, 2011. Options granted under the Company’s option plan generally vest over five years or
as otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the
date of grant, and expire no later than ten years after the date of grant.
During the years ended December 31, 2011
and 2010, the Company did not grant any stock option awards.
On August 27, 2010, Mr. Derek Cooper
resigned from the positions of President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director of the Company. At
the time of his separation, certain of Mr. Cooper’s outstanding stock options were fully vested and exercisable. The
unvested stock options were immediately cancelled and the stock compensation expense of $16,710 that the Company had recognized
in relation to these unvested options was reversed to general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2010.
On August 26, 2010, Messrs. Jeet Sidhu
and Christian Hudson resigned as members of the Board of Directors. At the time of their separation, certain of their
outstanding stock options were fully vested and exercisable. The unvested stock options were immediately cancelled and
the stock compensation expense of $33,419 that the Company had recognized in relation to these unvested options was reversed to
general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Note 9. Related Party Transactions
Executive Management
On August 27, 2010, Mr. Derek Cooper
resigned from the positions of President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Director of the Company. The Company
incurred $20,000 in fees paid to Mr. Cooper for the year ended December 31, 2010. At the time of his separation, certain of Mr.
Cooper’s outstanding stock options were fully vested and exercisable. The unvested stock options were immediately
cancelled and the stock compensation expense of $16,710 that the Company had recognized in relation to these unvested options was
reversed to general and administrative expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred ($12,047), as stock
compensation expense (benefit) related to options granted to Mr. Cooper.
Immediately upon Mr. Cooper’s resignation,
the Company appointed Mr. Antonino Cacace to the Board of Directors and the positions of President, Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer. The Company has agreed to pay Mr. Cacace a monthly management fee of $3,000 for his services. For
the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred $94,000 and $15,000, respectively, in management fees paid to
Mr. Cacace. Accounts payable to Mr. Cacace amounted to $36,000 at December 31, 2011.
Director Fees
On August 26, 2010, Messrs. Jeet Sidhu
and Christian Hudson resigned as members of the Board of Directors. The Company incurred nil in board fees for these non-employee
directors for the year ended December 31, 2010. At the time of their separation, certain of their outstanding stock
options were fully vested and exercisable. The unvested stock options were immediately cancelled and the stock compensation
expense of $33,419 that the Company had recognized in relation to these unvested options was reversed to general and administrative
expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recorded ($24,091), as stock compensation expense (benefit) related
to options granted to these non-employee directors (refer to “Note 8 Stock Options”).

was appointed to our board effective August 26, 2010. Accounts payable to Mr. Sierchio for legal fees amounted to $7,850 at December
31, 2011.
Note 10. Income Taxes
There is no current or deferred tax expense
for 2011 and 2010, due to the Company’s loss position. Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax
assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the net operating
loss carryforward period. Management has considered these factors in reaching its conclusion as to the valuation allowance
for financial reporting purposes and has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. The income tax effect,
utilizing a 34% income tax rate, of temporary differences comprising the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities is a
result of the following at December 31:

The 2011 increase in the valuation allowance
was $266,000 (2010: $124,000).
The Company has available net operating
loss carryforwards of approximately $5,200,000 for tax purposes to offset future taxable income which expires commencing 2012 through
to the year 2031. Pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, annual utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards
may be limited if a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% is deemed to occur within any three-year period. The
tax years 2008 through 2011 remain open to examination by federal agencies and other jurisdictions in which it operates.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
Under the supervision
and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted
an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on this
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of December 31, 2011 that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective such that the information required to be disclosed in our United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on the evaluation,
management, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Exchange
Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), have concluded that,
as of December 31, 2011, our
disclosure
controls and procedures
were effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles.
Evaluation of and Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Management, with the participation
of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2011 based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations.
Based on this evaluation,
management concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, our internal control over financial reporting was effective in providing reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
This annual report does
not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant
to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
There were no changes
in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under
the Exchange Act)
, or in factors that could materially affect internal controls,
during the quarter
ended December 31, 2011, or
subsequent to the date that management completed their evaluation,
that
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financing reporting.

which each has served as such, the principal occupations and employment of such persons during at least the last five years, and
other director positions held currently or during the last five years:
Mr. Derek Cooper
Since 2003, Mr. Cooper

Jenkins has served as the President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Minerva Minerals Limited, a public company engaged
in the business of locating, acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties. Mr. Jenkins was invited to join the Board
of Directors due to his experience with public companies in the matters relating to management, administration, financial reporting,
legal compliance and business development.
Mr. Joseph Sierchio
Since 1975, Mr. Sierchio
has practiced corporate and securities law in New York City, representing and offering counsel to domestic and foreign corporations,
investors, entrepreneurs, and public and private companies in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Switzerland,

Directors due to his extensive experience representing public companies with respect to finance, contract, governance and compliance
matters and general business development.
Certain Relationships
There are no family
relationships among or between any of our officers and directors.
Our proposed business
raises potential conflicts of interests between certain of our officers and directors and us. Certain of our directors are directors
of other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate,
our directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation. In
the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain
from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In appropriate cases, we will establish
a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict. From
time to time, several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties
thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, involvement in a greater number of programs and reduction of the financial
exposure with respect to any one program. It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of
its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.
In determining whether
we will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider
the potential benefits to us, the degree of risk to which we may be exposed and its financial position at that time. Other
than as indicated, we have no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest. We are not aware of
the existence of any conflict of interest as described herein.
Consideration of Director Nominees
Director Qualifications
We believe that our
Board, to the extent that our limited resources permit, should encompass a diverse range of talent, skill and expertise sufficient
to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to the Company's operations and interests. Each director also is expected to:
exhibit high standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; use his or her skills and experiences
to provide independent oversight to our business; participate in a constructive and collegial manner; be willing to devote sufficient
time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities effectively; devote the time and effort necessary to learn our business;
and, represent the long-term interests of all shareholders.
The Board has determined
that the Board of Directors as a whole must have the right diversity, mix of characteristics and skills for the optimal functioning
of the Board in its oversight of our affairs. The Board believes it should be comprised of persons with skills in areas such as:
finance; real estate; banking; strategic planning; human resources and diversity; leadership of business organizations; and legal
matters. The Board may also consider in its assessment of the Board's diversity, in its broadest sense, reflecting, but not limited
to, age, geography, gender and ethnicity.
In addition to the
targeted skill areas, the Board looks for a strong record of achievement in key knowledge areas that it believes are critical for
directors to add value to the Board, including:
|
·
|
Strategy
—knowledge of our business model,
the formulation of corporate strategies, knowledge of key competitors and markets;
|
|
·
|
Leadership
—skills in coaching and working
with senior executives and the ability to assist the Chief Executive Officer;
|
|
·
|
Organizational Issues
—understanding of strategy
implementation, change management processes, group effectiveness and organizational design;
|
|
·
|
Relationships
—understanding how to interact
with investors, accountants, attorneys, management companies, analysts, and communities in which we operate;
|
|
·
|
Functional
—understanding of finance matters,
financial statements and auditing procedures, technical expertise, legal issues, information technology and marketing; and
|
|
·
|
Ethics
—the ability to identify and raise
key ethical issues concerning our activities and those of senior management as they affect the business community and society.
|
The Board and Board Meetings
Our Board of Directors
consists of three members. Directors serve for a term of one year and stand for election at our annual meeting of stockholders.
Pursuant to our Bylaws, any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors, including a vacancy created by an increase in the number
of directors, may be filled by the stockholders or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors though less
than a quorum of the Board of Directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office only until the next election of
directors by the stockholders. If there are no remaining directors, the vacancy shall be filled by the stockholders.
At a meeting of stockholders,
any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, provided the notice of the meeting states
that one of the purposes of the meeting is the removal of the director. A director may be removed only if the number of votes cast
to remove him exceeds the number of votes cast against removal.
Our Board of Directors
and management are committed to responsible corporate governance to ensure that the Company is managed for the long-term benefit
of its shareholders. To that end, the Board of Directors and management periodically review and update, as appropriate, our corporate
governance policies and practices. In doing so, the Board and management review published guidelines and recommendations of institutional
shareholder organizations and current best practices of similarly situated public companies. The Board of Directors and management
also regularly evaluate and, when appropriate, will revise our corporate governance policies and practices in accordance with the
requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and listing standards issued by the SEC.
During the year ended
December 31, 2011, the Board held a total of four (4) meetings. All members of the Board attended all meetings of the Board.
Directors’ and Officers’
Liability Insurance
We do not currently
maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage. We are currently reviewing insurance policies and anticipate
obtaining coverage for our board of directors and officers.
Board Committees and Corporate Governance
Audit Committee
The Board does not currently
have a standing Audit Committee. The full Board performs the principal functions of the Audit Committee. The
full Board monitors our financial reporting process and internal control system and appoints our independent registered public
accounting firm.
Compensation Committee
The Board does not currently
have a standing Compensation Committee. The full Board establishes overall compensation policies for us and reviews
recommendations submitted by our management.
Nominating Committee
The Board does not
currently have a standing Nominating Committee. All nominating functions are handled directly by the full Board of Directors, which
the Board believes is the most effective and efficient approach, based on the size of the Board and our current and anticipated
operations and needs. As outlined above in selecting a qualified nominee, the Board considers such factors as it deems appropriate
which may include: the current composition of the Board; the range of talents of the nominee that would best complement those already
represented on the Board; the extent to which the nominee would diversify the Board; the nominee's standards of integrity, commitment
and independence of thought and judgment; and the need for specialized expertise.
Legal Proceedings
During the past ten
years none of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons has been:
|
·
|
the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or
against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within
two years prior to that time;
|
|
·
|
convicted in a criminal proceeding or is subject to
a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
|

reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending
or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities;
|
|
·
|
found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil
action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities
law;
|
|
·
|
the subject of any Federal or State judicial or administrative
order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of:
|
|
(i)
|
Any Federal or State securities or commodities law
or regulation; or
|
|
(ii)
|
Any law or regulation respecting financial institutions
or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution,
civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or
|
|
(iii)
|
Any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud
or fraud in connection with any business entity.
|
|
·
|
any federal or state judicial or administrative proceedings
based on violations of federal or state securities, commodities, banking or insurance laws and regulations, or any settlement
to such actions (excluding settlements between private parties); and
|
|
·
|
any disciplinary sanctions or orders imposed by a stock,
commodities or derivatives exchange or other self-regulatory organization.
|
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the
Exchange Act
Pursuant to Section
16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934, our executive officers and directors in addition to any person who owns more than 10% of our
common stock are required to report their ownership of our common stock and changes to such ownership with the SEC. Based on a
review of such reports and information provided to us, we believe that during the most recent fiscal year our executive officers
and directors have complied with applicable filing requirements under Section 16(a), Based solely upon a review of the copies of
the forms furnished to us, we believe that during fiscal 2011, the Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our directors
and executive officers were satisfied.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code
of Ethics that applies to all of the Company’s officers, directors and employees, including its Chief Financial Officer and
Chief Executive Officer, which complies with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) listing standards. Accordingly, the Code of Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing,
and to promote, among other things, honest and ethical conduct, full, timely, accurate and clear public disclosures, compliance
with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics, and accountability.
Corporate Governance
We have adopted Corporate
Governance Guidelines applicable to its Board of Directors.
Board Leadership Structure
We currently have
only one executive officer and three directors. Our Board of Directors has reviewed the
Company’s
current Board leadership structure — which consists of a President, Chief Executive Officer, a Chief Financial Officer and
no Chairman of the Board — in light of the composition of the Board, the Company’s size, the nature of the Company’s
business, the regulatory framework under which the Company operates, the Company’s stockholder base, the Company’s
peer group and other relevant factors, and has determined that this structure is currently the most appropriate Board leadership
structure for our company. Nevertheless, the Board intends to carefully evaluate from time to time whether our Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman positions should be combined based on what the Board believes is best for us and our stockholders.
Board Role in Risk Oversight
Risk is inherent
in every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including
strategic risks, enterprise risks, financial risks, and regulatory risks. While our management is responsible for day to day management
of various risks we face, the Board of Directors, as a whole, is responsible for evaluating our exposure to risk and to satisfy
itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. The
Board reviews and discusses policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Board also has oversight responsibility
with respect to the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting process and systems of internal control regarding finance
and accounting, as well as its financial statements
Director Independence
Our securities are not
listed on a U.S. securities exchange and, therefore, is not subject to the corporate governance requirements of any such exchange,
including those related to the independence of directors. However, at this time, after considering all of the relevant facts and
circumstances, the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Jenkins and Sierchio are independent
from the Company’s management and qualify as “independent director” under the standards of independence under
the applicable FINRA listing standards. This means that, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, neither of these
two directors is (1) an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or (2) has any direct or indirect relationship with
the Company that would interfere with the exercise of his independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Upon
the Company’s listing on any national securities exchange or any inter-dealer quotation system, it will elect such independent
directors as is necessary under the rules of any such securities exchange.
Communications with the Board of Directors
Stockholders who wish
to communicate with the Board of Directors may do so by addressing their correspondence to the Board of Directors at Janus Resource,
Inc. 10180 – 101 Street, Suite 3400, Edmonton, AB, Canada, T5J 3S4.
The Board of Directors
has approved a process pursuant to which the President review and forward correspondence to the appropriate director or group of
directors for response.
Compensation of Directors
Our Board of Directors
determines the non-employee directors’ compensation for serving on the Board and its committees. In establishing director
compensation, the Board is guided by the following goals:
|
·
|
Compensation should consist of a combination of cash
and equity awards that are designed to fairly pay the directors for work required for a company of our size and scope;
|
|
·
|
Compensation should align the directors’ interests
with the long-term interests of stockholders; and
|
|
·
|
Compensation should assist with attracting and retaining
qualified directors.
|
We do not pay director
compensation to directors who are also employees. All non-employee directors are paid a director’s fee. Directors are entitled
to participate in, and have been issued options under, our Stock Plan (no options are currently outstanding). We also reimburse
directors for any actual expenses incurred to attend meetings of the Board.
We reimburse our directors
for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors.
We do not pay director compensation to directors who are also employees. All non-employee directors are paid a director’s
fee. Our board of directors may award special remuneration to any director undertaking any special services on our behalf other
than services ordinarily required of a director. Directors are entitled to participate in, and have been issued options under,
our Stock Plan (no options are currently outstanding). We also reimburse directors for any actual expenses incurred to attend meetings
of the Board.
On August 26, 2010,
the Company appointed Messrs. David Jenkins and Joseph Sierchio to the Board of Directors in order to fill the vacancies created
by the resignations of Messrs. Jeet Sidhu and Christian Hudson. The Company has agreed to pay Messrs. Jenkins and Sierchio
a monthly fee of $2,000 each for their services.

Item 11. Executive Compensation
The responsibility for
establishing, administering and interpreting our policies governing the compensation and benefits for our executive officers lies
with our Board of Directors. In this connection the Board has not retained the services of any compensation consultants.
The goals of our executive
compensation program are to attract, motivate and retain individuals with the skills and qualities necessary to support and develop
our business within the framework of our small size and available resources. In 2009, we designed our executive compensation program
to achieve the following objectives:
|
•
|
attract and retain executives experienced in developing
and delivering products such as our own;
|
|
•
|
motivate and reward executives whose experience and
skills are critical to our success;
|
|
•
|
reward performance; and
|
|
•
|
align the interests of our executive officers and stockholders
by motivating executive officers to increase stockholder value.
|
The following table
and descriptive materials set forth information concerning compensation earned for services rendered to the Company by: the President;
the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”); the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”); and the three other most
highly-compensated executive officers other than the CEO and CFO who were serving as executive officers of the Company during the
last three fiscal years (the “Named Executive Officers”).

stock options were immediately cancelled and the stock compensation expense of $16,710 that the Company had recognized in relation
to these unvested options was reversed to general and administrative expenses. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009,
the Company incurred ($12,047) and $14,474, respectively, as stock compensation expense (benefit) related to options granted to
Mr. Cooper.
None of our officers
or directors is a party to an employment agreement with us. Our entire Board of Directors sets the current year compensation levels
of each of the above named Executive Officers.

Item
13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Our proposed business
raises potential conflicts of interests between certain of our officers and directors and us. Certain of our directors are directors
of other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate,
our directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation. In
the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain
from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In appropriate cases, we will establish a special
committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict. From time
to time, several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby
allowing for their participation in larger programs, involvement in a greater number of programs and reduction of the financial
exposure with respect to any one program. It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest
in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.
In determining whether
we will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider
the potential benefits to us, the degree of risk to which we may be exposed and its financial position at that time. Other than
as indicated, we have no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest. We are not aware of the existence of
any conflict of interest as described herein.
Transactions with Related Persons
Other than as disclosed
below, during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, none of our current directors, officers or principal shareholders,
nor any family member of the foregoing, nor, to the best of our information and belief, any of our former directors, senior officers
or principal shareholders, nor any family member of such former directors, officers or principal shareholders, has or had any material
interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or will materially
affect us.
There have been no
transactions or proposed transactions with officers and directors during the last two years to which we are a party except as follows:
During the year ended
December 31, 2011, management consulting fees of $94,000 (year ended December 31, 2010 - $35,000) were paid or are due to officers
of the Company. The transactions were recorded at the exchange amount, being the value established and agreed to by the related
parties. Accounts payable to Mr. Cacace amounted to $36,000 at December 31, 2011.
During the year ended
December 31, 2011, directors fees of $48,000 (year ended December 31, 2010 - $20,000) were paid to non-officer directors of the
Company. The transactions were recorded at the exchange amount, being the value established and agreed to by the related parties.
Accounts payable to Mr. Sierchio amounted to $2,000 at December 31, 2011.
During the year ended
December 31, 2011, legal fees of $47,312 (year ended December 31, 2010 - $44,188) were paid or are due to our attorney, Mr. Sierchio,
who was appointed to our board effective August 26, 2010. Accounts payable to Mr. Sierchio for legal fees amounted to $7,850 at
December 31, 2011.
Item
14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services
The firm of Peterson
Sullivan LLP currently serves as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Board of Directors of the
Company, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of different public accountants at any time during the year, if the Board
believes that a change would be in the best interests of the stockholders. The Board of Directors has considered the audit fees,
audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees paid to our accountants, as disclosed below, and had determined that the payment of
such fees is compatible with maintaining the independence of the accountants.
Audit Fees:
The aggregate fees
billed and expected to be billed for professional services by Peterson Sullivan LLP for the audit of our annual consolidated financial
statements and review of consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-Q (17 CFR 249.308b) or services that were normally
provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for the 2011 fiscal year are $26,247
(2010 - $36,317).
Audit-Related Fees:
The aggregate fees
billed to us for assurance and related services by Peterson Sullivan LLP that are reasonably related to the performance of the
audit or review of our consolidated financial statements and are not reported under audit fees for fiscal 2011 were $0 (2010 -
$0).
Tax Fees:
The aggregate fees billed to us for professional
services by Peterson Sullivan LLP for tax compliance for fiscal 2011 were $2,403 (2010 - $4,477).
All Other Fees:
The aggregate fees
billed to us for products and services provided by Peterson Sullivan LLP, other than reported under Audit Fees, Audit-Related Fees
and Tax Fees for fiscal 2011 were $0 (2010 - $0).
The Audit Committee
feels that the services rendered by Peterson Sullivan LLP were compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
