DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT POLICIES
|
|
|
|
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Royal Mines and
Minerals Corps (the Company) fiscal year-end is April 30.
|
|
|
|
Description of Business
The Company is
considered an exploration stage company. The Company's primary objectives
are to 1) commercially extract and refine precious metals from its own and
others leachable assets, 2) use its lixiviation processes to convert
specific ore bodies and fly ash landfills/monofills into valuable assets,
and 3) joint venture, acquire and develop mining projects in North
America. The Company has not yet realized significant revenues from its
primary objectives.
|
|
|
|
History
The Company was incorporated on December
14, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On June 13, 2007, the
Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Royal Mines Acquisition
Corp., in the state of Nevada.
|
|
|
|
On October 5, 2007, Centrus Ventures Inc. (Centrus)
completed the acquisition of Royal Mines Inc. (Royal Mines). The
acquisition of Royal Mines was completed by way of a triangular merger
pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated
September 24, 2007 (the First Merger Agreement) among Centrus, Royal
Mines Acquisition Corp. (Centrus Sub), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Centrus, Royal Mines and Kevin B. Epp, the former sole executive officer
and director of Centrus. On October 5, 2007, under the terms of the First
Merger Agreement, Royal Mines was merged with and into Centrus Sub, with
Centrus Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the First
Merger).
|
|
|
|
On October 6, 2007, a second merger was completed
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 6, 2007 (the
Second Merger Agreement) between Centrus and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Centrus Sub, whereby Centrus Sub was merged with and into
Centrus, with Centrus continuing as the surviving corporation (the Second
Merger). As part of the Second Merger, Centrus changed its name from
Centrus Ventures Inc. to Royal Mines And Minerals Corp.(the
Company). Other than the name change, no amendments were made to the
Articles of Incorporation.
|
|
|
|
Under the terms and conditions of the First Merger
Agreement, each share of Royal Mines common stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the completion of the First Merger was converted into
one share of Centrus common stock. As a result, a total of 32,183,326
shares of Centrus common stock were issued to former stockholders of Royal
Mines. In addition, Mr. Epp surrendered 23,500,000 shares of Centrus
common stock for cancellation in consideration of payment by Centrus of
$0.001 per share for an aggregate consideration of $23,500. As a result,
upon completion of the First Merger, the former stockholders of Royal
Mines owned approximately 69.7% of the issued and outstanding common
stock.
|
|
|
|
As such, Royal Mines is deemed to be the acquiring
enterprise for financial reporting purposes. All acquired assets and
liabilities of Centrus were recorded at fair value on the date of the
acquisition, as required by the purchase method of accounting, and the
tangible net liabilities were debited against equity of the Company. There
are no continuing operations of Centrus from the date of
acquisition.
|
|
|
|
Going Concern
- As of July 31, 2012, the Company
has incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $13,428,308 from
operations and has negative working capital of $1,163,294. The Company is
still in the exploration stage and has not fully commenced its mining and
minerals processing operations, raising substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern.

|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
JULY 31, 2012
|
(Unaudited)
|
The ability of the Company to continue
as a going concern is dependent on the Company raising additional sources of
capital and the successful execution of the Companys objectives. The Company
will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or equity
financing, but there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in
accomplishing its objectives. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern.
Use of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The
Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or
less to be a cash equivalent.
Property and Equipment
-
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 3 to 10 years. The
cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures
for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other
disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of
operations.
The Company periodically evaluates
whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the
estimated useful life of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed
assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate
of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed
assets in measuring their recoverability.
Mineral Property Rights
Costs
of acquiring mining properties are capitalized upon acquisition. Mine
development costs incurred either to develop new ore deposits, to expand the
capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current
production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the
property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to maintain current
production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations.
Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The
Company evaluates the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related
property and equipment costs, to determine if these costs are in excess of their
recoverable amount whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Evaluation of the carrying value
of capitalized costs and any related property and equipment costs would be based
upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance
with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15,
Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
.
Exploration Costs
Mineral
exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when
events or changes in circumstances indicate the related carrying amounts may not
be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC
360-10-35-17,
Measurement of an Impairment Loss
, if events or
circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable. As
of April 30, 2012 exploration progress is on target with the Companys
exploration and evaluation plan and no events or circumstances have happened to
indicate the related carrying values of the properties may not be recoverable.
When the Company determines that an impairment analysis should be done, the
analysis will be performed using the rules of ASC 930-360-35,
Asset
Impairment
, and 360-10-15-3 through 15-5,
Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets
.

Various factors could impact our
ability to achieve forecasted production schedules. Additionally, commodity
prices, capital expenditure requirements and reclamation costs could differ from
the assumptions the Company may use in cash flow models used to assess
impairment. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable
minerals from exploration stage mineral interests involves further risks in
addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and
probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence
that the identified mineralized material can ultimately be mined
economically.
Material changes to any of these
factors or assumptions discussed above could result in future impairment charges
to operations.
Asset Retirement Obligation
-
The Company follows ASC 410,
Asset Retirement and Environmental
Obligations
, which requires that an asset retirement obligation (ARO)
associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a
liability in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with
an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset. The cost
of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such
that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the asset. The
ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as
the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair
value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the
Companys credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. To date, no significant asset
retirement obligation exists. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
- Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes
the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy
gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities (Level 1measurements) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value
hierarchy are described below:
|
Level 1
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are
accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or
liabilities;
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2
|
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs
that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the
full term of the asset or liability; and
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3
|
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that
are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable
(supported by little or no market activity).
|
The Companys financial instruments
consist of mineral property purchase obligations. These obligations are
classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as their fair value is
determined using interest rates which approximate market rates. The Company is
not exposed to significant interest or credit risk arising from these financial
instruments.
Revenue Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence of an
arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or service has been
rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting
receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue from licensing our technology is
recognized over the term of the license agreement. Costs and expenses are
recognized during the period in which they are incurred.
Research and Development
- All
research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
- The
Company follows ASC 260,
Earnings Per Share,
and ASC 480,
Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,
which establish standards for the
computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for basic and diluted
earnings per share for entities with publicly held common shares and potential
common stock issuances. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In
computing diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted to reflect the effect of
potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options and warrants. Common
stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is
antidilutive. Common stock equivalents, which include stock options and warrants
to purchase common stock, on April 30, 2012 and 2011 that were not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be
antidilutive were 109,095,129 and 102,317,340, respectively.

Deferred rent
The Company
leases equipment under an agreement which provide for periodic increases over
the lease term. Accordingly, timing differences between the amount paid for rent
and the amount expensed are recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying
balance sheets. As of July 31, 2012, an expense and liability of $21,402 has
been recorded for deferred rent as it relates to escalation of rent
payments.
Recent Accounting Standards
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that are adopted by the Company as of the
specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that
the impact of recently issued standards did not or will not have a material
impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows
upon adoption.

LOAN RECEIVABLE
|
|
|
|
As of July 31, 2012 and April 30, 2012, the Company has
advanced $983,055 to Golden Anvil to permit Golden Anvil to complete its
refurbishment and relocation of its mineral processing plant in Nayarit,
Mexico. On November 19, 2010, the Company entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding with Golden Anvil, covering the total advanced by the
Company to Golden Anvil. The loan bears no interest, matures within 180
days of receiving the first 20 tons of concentrates, which the Company has
yet to receive, and is secured by Golden Anvils equipment and mineral
claims.
|
|
|
|
Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, we
formed a Nevada corporation called Golden Anvil Inc. (the Joint Venture
Company) and planned to contribute funding to the Joint Venture Company
totaling $3,000,000 (the Funding Amount), including the amount of the
first $600,000 Loan included in the above totals. Upon our providing the
Funding Amount, Golden Anvil would transfer 100% of the Golden Anvil Mine
and the Processing Plant (the Golden Anvil Assets) to the Joint Venture
Company. The additional $2,400,000 is to be funded as
follows:
|
|
(a)
|
$300,000 within 45 days of the date of the Memorandum of
Understanding (which has been paid); and
|
|
|
|
|
(b)
|
The balance of $2,100,000 within 180 days of the date
that Golden Anvil delivers to the Phoenix Plant the first 20 tons of
concentrate generated from the Processing Plant, which the Company has yet
to receive.
|
If we are able to complete the funding,
of which there is no assurance, and Golden Anvil transfers the assets in the
Joint Venture Company, the Joint Venture Company will be owned 50% by us and 50%
by Golden Anvil. As of July 31, 2012, the Company has lent an additional $70,000
and paid, on behalf of Golden Anvil, $13,055 in expenses which is included in
the total Loan amount.
In the event that we are unable to
raise the Funding Amount in the time required, we will forfeit our right to
proceed with the Joint Venture and the Loan will be payable in 12 months with
interest at 18% from the dates of advancement and secured by the Golden Anvil
Assets. The Loan will be paid with the net profits of Golden Anvil. Any net
profit earned by Golden Anvil will be credited to the earned interest first.
Currently, we are working with the
management of Golden Anvil to move the Golden Anvil Assets to an entity on the
Toronto Stock Exchange or similar exchange, from which we would either be repaid
our Loan plus 18% interest or receive a percentage ownership via common stock
from the conversion of our Loan.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
|
|
|
|
On April 2, 2007 the Company entered into a Technology
and Asset Purchase Agreement (NVRM Agreement) with Robert H. Gunnison
and New Verde River Mining Co. Inc. (NVRM), whereby the Company acquired
equipment and the technology for lixiviation of metals from ore utilizing
thiourea stabilization (Intellectual Property). The equipment and
intellectual property were acquired with the issuance of 2,000,000 shares
of the Companys $0.10 per share common stock and a future cash payment of
$300,000, for a purchase price of $500,000. The purchase price was
allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their
respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The intellectual
property was valued at $200,000. For the year ended April 30, 2010, the
intellectual property was deemed impaired by $50,000 and expensed
accordingly. Based on estimated future cash flows expected to be generated
from the intellectual property, the Company does not believe the asset to
be impaired as of July 31, 2012.
|

|
MINERAL PROPERTIES
|
|
|
|
As of July 31, 2012 and April 30 2012, mineral properties
totaling $63,710 consist of twenty-one (21) mining claims located south of
Searchlight, Nevada in the Piute Valley. On January 28, 2007, the Company
entered into mineral option agreements to acquire an 87.5% interest in
twenty-four (24) mining claims with the issuance of 1,050,000 shares of
the Companys common stock on the date of signing of the option agreement,
with the provision that the Company issue an additional 420,000 and
210,000 shares on the fifth anniversary and tenth anniversary,
respectively, of the signing of the option agreement if the Company wishes
to acquire legal interest to the mining claims. The transaction was valued
at an agreed upon price of $10,500. Each mining claim is comprised of 160
acres. In August 2008 the Company did not pay the renewal fee on four (4)
of the mining claims after confirming title to the claims were void due to
not being properly located and being subject to prior segregation. On
November 28, 2011 the Company executed a quitclaim deed and agreement
acquiring the other 12.5% interest in the twenty (20) remaining mining
claims. On January 28, 2012, the fifth anniversary, the Company approved
the issuance of 350,000 shares to maintain the option to acquire 100%
legal interest in the remaining twenty (20) mining claims. The shares were
valued at the market price on the date of issuance.
|
|
|
|
On March 16, 2007 the Company entered into a lease
agreement of property with one (1) mining claim, for a term of twenty
years, for exploration and potential mining production on 20 acres in
Searchlight, Nevada. The Company paid a one-time signing bonus of $5,000
upon execution of the agreement and pays a $4,000 rental fee each August.
The Company will also pay an annual royalty equal to five (5) percent of
the net profit from any mining production on the
property.

Mining claims are capitalized as
tangible assets in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force abstract 04-02.
Upon completion of a bankable feasibility study, the claims will be amortized
using the unit-of-production method over the life of the claim. If the Company
does not continue with exploration after the completion of the feasibility
study, the claims will be expensed at that time.

affecting such forward-looking information. We advise you to carefully review
the reports and documents, particularly our Annual Reports, Quarterly Reports
and Current Reports, that we file from time to time with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).
OVERVIEW
We were incorporated on December 14, 2005 under the laws of the
State of Nevada. We are an exploration stage company and our primary objectives
are to: (i) commercially extract and refine precious metals from our own and
others mineralized materials; (ii) use our lixiviation processes (Cholla and
thiourea) to recover precious metals from specific ore bearing materials and fly
ash landfills/monofills; and (iii) joint venture, acquire and develop mining
projects in North America.
We are focusing our business on commercially processing
specific fly ash and other mineable materials, using a closed loop, leach
process that exposes extractable gold (the Cholla Process) at our processing
and refining plants located in Phoenix, Arizona (the Phoenix Facility) and
Scottsdale, Arizona (the Scottsdale Facility). Our facilities have the
capacity to process up to 10 tons per day. In our Phoenix Facility, we also
utilize our environmentally friendly proprietary technology for the extraction
of precious metals from other materials using thiourea stabilization (the
Lixiviation Technology). The use of thiourea stabilization is more
environmentally friendly than cyanide or sulfuric acid, which have traditionally
been used for this purpose.
We entered into a Memorandum of Understanding dated October 19,
2010 with Golden Anvil, SA de CV (Golden Anvil) with respect to the proposed
formation and funding of a proposed joint venture for the exploration and
development of mineral concessions owned by Golden Anvil in the State of
Nayarit, Mexico (the Golden Anvil Mine). We are currently working with
management of Golden Anvil to move the assets of Golden Anvil to an entity on
the TSX Venture Exchange from which we would receive a percentage ownership via
common stock from the conversion of our loans.
We also have an interest in a potential gold project that
consists of a mineral lease covering 20.61 acres of patented claims (the Smith
Lease) and an option to acquire a 100% interest in 20 unpatented claims (the
BLM Claims) located near the Smith Lease. Each BLM Claim is comprised of 160
acres. We have entered into a memorandum of understanding with Stina Resources
Ltd. (Stina) whereby Stina will be able to acquire a 70% interest in the Smith
Lease and a 40% interest in the BLM Claims.
We are actively seeking to enter into joint ventures with third
parties who have legal rights to fly ash resources, including
landfills/monofills. There are no assurances that we will be able to
commercially extract precious metals from fly ash or other mineable ores using
our Cholla or thiourea processes or that we will be able to enter into joint
ventures for the exploration and development of additional mining projects.
We entered into an agreement (the PMX Agreement) dated June
14, 2012 with Phoenix PMX LLC (Phoenix PMX). Under the terms of the PMX
Agreement, Phoenix PMX agreed to provide us with funding of up to $600,000 to
support the establishment of Pilot Plants in Scottsdale and Phoenix utilizing
our proprietary Cholla Process for recovery of gold from fly ash and other
materials. Subsequent to our fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2012, both parties mutually agreed to cancel the PMX
Agreement. As of the date of this filing, no amounts are owed under the PMX
Agreement.

PLAN OF OPERATION
Our plan of operation over the next twelve months is to focus
our financial resources on commercializing the extraction of gold and other
precious metals from fly ash or other ash deposits using our Cholla Process and
Lixiviation Technology.
We also plan to finalize a formal agreement with Stina whereby
Stina can acquire an interest in the Smith Lease and BLM Claims. In
consideration of which, Stina will be required to carry out an exploration
program on our property. We anticipate that this program will involve the
drilling of prime targets on the Smith Lease. The implementation of this
drilling program requires the filing of a Plan of Operations with the Federal
Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
In addition, we are working with the management of Golden Anvil
to move the assets of Golden Anvil to an entity on the TSX Venture Exchange,
from which we would receive a percentage ownership via common stock from the
conversion of our $983,055 Loan.
As of July 31, 2012, we had cash in the amount of $13,283.
Accordingly, we do not have sufficient resources to meet the ongoing costs of
our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility, the anticipated costs of
completing our plan of operation for our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale
Facility, the Smith Lease or meeting the administrative costs of operating our
business for the next twelve months. In order to complete our plan of operation,
we will be required to obtain substantial financing from the sale of our common
stock, of which there is no assurance.

Revenues
During the three months ended July 31, 2011, we earned revenues
of $31,264 and we earned no revenues during the three months ended July 31,
2012. We are currently in the exploration stage of our business. We have begun
to process fly ash at our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility; however, our
initial income from the use of our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility has
been minimal. We can provide no assurances that we will earn significant revenue
from the processing of fly ash or that we will discover commercially exploitable
levels of mineral resources on our Piute Valley Property, or if such resources
are discovered, that we will be able to enter into commercial production of our
Piute Valley Property.

Our operating expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2012
decreased as compared to the three months ended July 31, 2011. The decrease in
our operating expenses primarily relates to decreases in mineral exploration and
evaluation expenses, mineral exploration and evaluation expenses related party
and general and administrative expenses. Recurring consulting expenses recorded
within mineral exploration and evaluation expenses related party ceased during
the quarter. As of July 31, 2012, the Company utilizes the consultant on an as
needed basis. The overall decrease was partially offset by an increase in
depreciation and amortization.
Mineral exploration and evaluation expenses primarily consisted
of rent, extraction-processing costs, consulting fees and labor expenses in
connection with our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility. The decrease in
mineral exploration and evaluation expenses in fiscal 2012 was primarily due to
a decrease in consulting fees due to reduced activities at our Phoenix
Facility.
During the three months ended July 31, 2012, our general and
administrative and general and administrative related party expenses primarily
consisted of: (i) monthly consulting fees accrued for our Chief Executive
Officer, Mr. Matheson and paid to our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Mitchell; and
(ii) legal and accounting fees in connection with meeting our reporting
requirements under the Exchange Act.
We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase
significantly as we implement our plan of operation for our Phoenix Facility,
Scottsdale Facility and our Piute Valley Property.

As at July 31, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of
$1,163,294 as compared to a working capital deficit of $811,139 as at our year
ended April 30, 2012. The increase in our working capital deficit is primarily
due to a decrease in cash and increases in accounts payable, accounts payable
related parties, loans payable and loans payable related parties.
FINANCING REQUIREMENTS
Currently, we do not have sufficient financial resources to
complete our plan of operation for the next twelve months. As such, our ability
to complete our plan of operation is dependent upon our ability to obtain
additional financing in the near term.
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common
shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of
additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is
no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities
or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned mining, development
and exploration activities.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have
or are reasonably likely to have a 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 is
material to stockholders.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have identified certain accounting policies, described
below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial
condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are
disclosed in Note 1 to our interim financial statements included in this
Quarterly Report.
Mineral Property Rights
Costs of acquiring mining properties are capitalized upon
acquisition. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new ore deposits,
to expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in
advance of current production are also capitalized once proven and probable
reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property. Costs
incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis
are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations
upon abandonment. The Company evaluates the carrying value of capitalized mining
costs and related property and equipment costs, to determine if these costs are
in excess of their recoverable amount whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property
and equipment costs would be based upon expected future cash flows and/or
estimated salvage value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) 360-10-35-15,
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

Exploration Costs
Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)) as of July 31, 2012 (the Evaluation Date). This evaluation was
carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2012
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.
|
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
|
We are not a party to any legal proceedings and, to our
knowledge, no other legal proceedings are pending, threatened or
contemplated.
The following are some of the important factors that could
affect our financial performance or could cause actual results to differ
materially from estimates contained in our forward-looking statements. We may
encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and
uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be
immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, financial
condition or results of operation.
If we do not obtain additional financing, we may not be able
to continue our operations at our Facilities, enter into the proposed Joint
Venture with Golden Anvil or complete our exploration and development programs
on the Piute Valley Property.
As of July 31, 2012, we had cash on hand of $13,283 and
accumulated net loss of $13,406,906 since inception. Our plan of operation calls
for significant expenses in connection with the operation of our Phoenix
Facility and Scottsdale Facility, the entry into the proposed Joint Venture with
Golden Anvil, and the exploration and development of our Piute Valley Property.
If we are unable to raise sufficient financing there is a substantial risk that
we will be unable to meet payments of principal and interest to our creditors
and pay our consultants and employees. In addition, we will require substantial
financing in order to implement our plan of operation over the next twelve
months. There is no assurance that this will satisfy all of our working capital
requirements for the next twelve months or that these funds will be sufficient
to complete our planned exploration and development programs.
Because we are an exploration stage company, we face a high
risk of business failure.
We have commenced earning revenues, although minimal, from the
processing of ore at our Phoenix and Scottsdale Facilities. Our primary business
activities have involved the acquisition of the Piute Valley Property, the
exploration and development on the Piute Valley Property and the commencement of
operations at our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility. Potential investors
should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by exploration stage
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.
Because we anticipate our operating expenses will increase
prior to our earning significant revenues, we may never achieve
profitability.
Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate
that we will incur increased operating expenses prior to realizing any
significant revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the
foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant
revenues from the operation of our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility or
the exploration and development of our mineral property and the production of
minerals thereon, if any, we will not be able to earn profits or continue
operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the
likelihood that we will prove successful, and we may not be able to ever
generate any operating revenues or achieve profitable operations. If we are
unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
8
Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mining
properties, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals
will be found and our business will fail.
The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely
risky. We may not find commercially exploitable reserves of precious metals on
our mineral claims. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture,
necessarily involving substantial risk. The expenditures to be made by us in the
upcoming exploration of the mineral claims may not result in the discovery of
commercial quantities of ore. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations
and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in
unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete
our business plan.
Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral
exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages if and when
we conduct mineral exploration activities.
The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As
a result, if and when we conduct exploration activities we may become subject to
liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards
against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The
payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial
position.
There is no assurance that any or all of our loan to Golden
Anvil will be repaid.
Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding with Golden
Anvil, we loaned Golden Anvil a total of $983,055 bearing interest at a rate of
18% per annum. There is no assurance that Golden Anvil will complete a
transaction for the sale of its assets and repay any or all of our loan.
Even if we discover commercial reserves of precious metals
on our Piute Valley Property, we may not be able to successfully obtain
commercial production.
Our Piute Valley Property does not contain any known bodies of
ore. If our exploration programs are successful in discovering ore of commercial
tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to place those
mineral claims into commercial production. At this time, there is a risk that we
will not be able to obtain such financing as and when needed.
In order to maintain our rights to the Piute Valley
Property, we will be required to make annual filings with federal and state
regulatory agencies and/or be required to complete assessment work on those
properties.
In order to maintain our rights to the Piute Valley Property,
we will be required to make annual filings with federal and state regulatory
authorities. Currently the amount of these fees is minimal; however, these
maintenance fees are subject to adjustment. In addition, we may be required by
federal and/or state legislation or regulations to complete minimum annual
amounts of mineral exploration work on the Piute Valley Property. A failure by
us to meet the annual maintenance requirements under federal and state laws
could result in the loss of our rights to the Piute Valley Property.
As we undertake exploration of our Piute Valley Property, we
will be subject to compliance with government regulation that may increase the
anticipated cost of our exploration program.
There are several government regulations that materially
restrict the exploration of minerals. We may be required to obtain work permits,
post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land
in order to comply with these laws. While our planned exploration program
budgets for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could
increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our
exploration program.
9
Certain work to be performed on our mineral projects may
require us to apply for permits from federal, state or local regulatory
bodies.
If our applications for permits from the relevant regulatory
bodies are denied, we may not be able to proceed with our exploration and
development programs as disclosed above, which could have a negative effect on
our business.
If we receive positive results from our exploration program
and we decide to pursue commercial production, we may be subject to an
environmental review process that may delay or prohibit commercial production.
If the results of our geological exploration program indicate
commercially exploitable reserves, and we decide to pursue commercial production
of our mineral property, we may be subject to an environmental review process
under environmental assessment legislation. Compliance with an environmental
review process may be costly and may delay commercial production. Furthermore,
there is the possibility that we would not be able to proceed with commercial
production upon completion of the environmental review process if government
authorities did not approve our mine or if the costs of compliance with
government regulation adversely affected the commercial viability of the
proposed mine.
If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may
not be able to implement our business plan and our business will fail.
Our success will largely depend on our ability to hire highly
qualified personnel with experience in geological exploration. These individuals
may be in high demand and we may not be able to attract the staff we need. In
addition, we may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by
qualified personnel, or may lose such employees after they are hired. Our
failure to hire key personnel when needed could have a significant negative
effect on our business.
If we complete additional financings through the sale of
shares of our common stock, our existing stockholders will experience
dilution.
The most likely source of future financing presently available
to us is through the issuance of our common stock. The only other anticipated
alternative for the financing of further exploration would be the offering by us
of an interest in our properties to be earned by another party or parties
carrying out further exploration thereof, which is not presently contemplated.
Issuing shares of our common stock, for financing purposes or otherwise, will
dilute the interests of our existing stockholders.
Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be
more limited in their ability to sell their stock.
Our common stock is considered to be a penny stock since it
does not qualify for one of the exemptions from the definition of penny stock
under Section 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. Our common stock is a penny stock
because it meets one or more of the following conditions (i) the stock trades at
a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a recognized
national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or even if
so, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company that
has been in business less than three years with net tangible assets less than $5
million.
The principal result or effect of being designated a penny
stock is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common
stock will be subject to the penny stock regulations set forth in Rules 15-2
through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For example, Rule 15g-2
requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors
with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually
signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days
before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account.
Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the
account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny
stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain
from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation,
investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably
10
determine, based on that information, that transactions in
penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient
knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of
penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement
setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in
(ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the
investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial
situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with
these requirements may make it more difficult and time consuming for holders of
our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose
of them in the market or otherwise.
