CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.

 

These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this Report, including under “Risk Factors”, and in other reports the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SECor the “Commission”), including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024 (under the heading “Risk Factors” and in other parts of that report), which factors include:

 

Because of the nature of the exploration of natural resource properties, there is substantial risk that this business will fail.
   
If we cannot compete successfully for financing and for qualified managerial and technical employees, our exploration program may suffer.
   
Exploration and exploitation activities 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.
   
There are no known reserves of minerals on our mineral claims, and we cannot guarantee that we will find any commercial quantities of minerals.
   
Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote, any funds spent on exploration may be lost.
   
We have a limited operating history and as a result there is no assurance we can operate on a profitable basis.
   
If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail and our investors could lose their investment.
   
Because there is no assurance that we will generate revenues, we face a high risk of business failure.
   
The existence of our mining claims depends on our ability to fund exploratory activity or to pay fees.

 

Our consolidated financial statements are stated in United States Dollars (“US$”) and are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”, “us”, “the Company”, and “Liberty Star” mean Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. and our subsidiaries, Hay Mountain Holdings, LLC, Earp Ridge Mines LLC and Red Rock Mines LLC, unless otherwise indicated. All dollar amounts refer to U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on May 15, 2024. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) have been omitted, as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures which are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at April 30, 2024, and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

Interim results are subject to significant seasonal variations and the results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

NOTE 2 – Going Concern

 

The Company has a history of and expects to continue to report stockholders’ deficit, negative cash flows from operations and loss from operations. Additional funds are required for further exploratory activity and to maintain its claims prior to attaining a revenue generating status. There are no assurances that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties. In addition, the Company may not find sufficient ore reserves to be commercially mined. As such, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Management is working to secure additional funds through the exercise of stock warrants already outstanding, equity financing, debt financing or joint venture agreements. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

NOTE 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Fair Value

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. It defines fair value as 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 an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities that are not active; and model-driven valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.

 

8

 

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to measure fair value of assets and liabilities for which there is little, if any market activity at the measurement date, using reasonable inputs and assumptions based upon the best information at the time, to the extent that inputs are available without undue cost and effort.

 

       Fair value measurements at reporting date using:

Warrant and convertible note derivative liabilities at April 30, 2024  $1,696,426           $1,696,426 
Warrant and convertible note derivative liabilities at January 31, 2024  $2,547,458           $2,547,458 

 

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, convertible notes payable, and derivative liabilities. It is management’s opinion that we are not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. With the exception of the derivative liabilities, the fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values based on their short maturities or for long-term debt based on borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and maturities. Gains and losses recognized on changes in estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities are reported in other income (expense) as gain (loss) on change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

 

Net income (loss) per share

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common stock equivalents are determined using the treasury stock method. For diluted net income (loss) per share purposes, the Company excludes stock options and other stock-based awards, including shares issued as a result of option exercises that are subject to repurchase by the Company, whose effect would be anti-dilutive from the calculation.

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2024, the impact of 1,809,207 of stock options and 10,968,612 of warrants were considered for their dilutive effects. During the three months ended April 30, 2023, the impact of 2,768,758 and 373,760 of stock options, 14,187,933 and 2,256,070 of warrants, and 0 and 357,905 shares issuable from convertible notes were excluded from the calculation as their impact would be anti-dilutive.

 

A reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in basic and diluted earnings per share computation is as follows:

NOTE 6 – Derivative Liabilities

 

The embedded conversion feature in the convertible debt instruments that the Company issued (See Note 8), that became convertible during the three months ended April 30, 2024, qualified it as a derivative instrument since the number of shares issuable under the note is indeterminate based on guidance in FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. These convertible notes tainted all other equity linked instruments including outstanding warrants and fixed rate convertible debt on the date that the instrument became convertible.

 

The valuation of the derivative liabilities of the warrants was determined through the use of a Monte Carlo option pricing model that values the liability of the warrants based on a risk-neutral valuation where the price of the warrant is its discounted expected value. The technique applied generates a large number of possible (but random) price paths for the underlying common stock via simulation, and then calculates the associated exercise value (i.e. “payoff”) of the warrant for each path. These payoffs are then averaged and discounted to a current valuation date resulting in the fair value of the warrant.

 

The valuation of the derivative liabilities attached to the convertible debt was arrived at through the use of a Monte Carlo model that values the derivative liability within the notes. The technique applied generates a large number of possible (but random) price paths for the underlying (or underlyings) via simulation, and then calculates the associated payment value (cash, stock, or warrants) of the derivative features. The price of the underlying common stock is modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift, and elastic volatility (increasing as stock price decreases). The stock price is determined by a random sampling from a normal distribution. Since the underlying random process is the same, for enough price paths, the value of the derivative is derived from path dependent scenarios and outcomes. The features in the notes that were analyzed and incorporated into the model included the conversion features with the reset provisions, the call/redemption/prepayment options, and the default provisions. Based on these features, there are six primary events that can occur; payments are made in cash; payments are made with stock; the note holder converts upon receiving a redemption notice; the note holder converts the note; the issuer redeems the note; or the Company defaults on the note. The model simulates the underlying economic factors that influenced which of these events would occur, when they were likely to occur, and the specific terms that would be in effect at the time (i.e. stock price, conversion price, etc.). Probabilities were assigned to each variable such as redemption likelihood, default likelihood, and timing and pricing of reset events over the remaining term of the notes based on management projections. This led to a cash flow simulation over the life of the note. A discounted cash flow for each simulation was completed, and it was compared to the discounted cash flow of the note without the embedded features, thus determining a value for the derivative liabilities.

 

11

 

 

Key inputs and assumptions used to value the convertible note when it became convertible and upon settlement, and warrants upon tainting, were as follows:

 

  The stock projections are based on the historical volatilities for each date. The volatility of 172.8% is based on historical prices over a lookback period equivalent to the expected term of 2.31 years. The stock price projection was modeled such that it follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant drift and constant volatility, starting with the recast stock price at each valuation date;
     
  The Holder will exercise the warrant at maturity if the stock price was above the exercise price;
     
  Discount rate was based on risk free rates of 4.87% in effect based on the remaining term and date of each valuation and instrument;
     
  Dividend yield: 0%;
     
  Exercise Price: $20M/number shares issued and outstanding at maturity (exercise date);
     
  Number of Options: $1M/exercise price; and
     
  The shares issued and outstanding is based on the initial 10,888,894 shares as of October 31, 2021 to 49,883,863 shares as of April 30, 2024 and a 3.04% growth monthly at April 30, 2024, and future financing events raising $500,000 annually through the sale of common stock at a 25% discount.

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2024, the Company recorded gain of $851,032 due to a change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities to reflect the value of the derivative liabilities for warrants as of April 30, 2024.

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2023, the Company recorded $43,931 due to the conversions of a portion of the Company’s convertible notes. The Company also recorded a change in the fair value of the derivative liabilities as a gain of $63,102 to reflect the value of the derivative liabilities for warrants and convertible notes as of April 30, 2023.

 

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities:

 

   Three months ended April 30, 
   2024   2023 
Beginning balance  $2,547,458   $172,393

These forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and in other reports we file with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as otherwise provided by law.

 

The following discussion is based upon our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingencies. In the course of operating our business, we routinely make decisions as to the timing of the payment of invoices, the collection of receivables, among other matters. Each of these decisions has some impact on the financial results for any given period. In making these decisions, we consider various factors including contractual obligations, competition, internal and external financial targets and expectations, and financial planning objectives. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to allowance for doubtful accounts, impairment of long-term assets, especially goodwill and intangible assets, assumptions used in the valuation of stock-based compensation, and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe 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.

Introduction

 

Business Development

 

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of our Company. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. was formerly Liberty Star Gold Corp. and formerly Titanium Intelligence, Inc. (“Titanium”). Titanium was incorporated on August 20, 2001, under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 5, 2004, we commenced operations in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business. Big Chunk Corp. (“Big Chunk”) was our wholly-owned subsidiary and was incorporated on December 14, 2003, in the State of Alaska. Big Chunk is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business in the State of Alaska. Big Chunk was dissolved on June 3, 2019. Redwall Drilling Inc. (“Redwall”) was our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on August 31, 2007, in the State of Arizona. Redwall performed drilling services on our mineral properties. Redwall ceased drilling activities in July 2008 and was dissolved on March 30, 2010. In April 2007, we changed our name to Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp (“Liberty Star”) to reflect our current general exploration for base and precious metals. We are in the exploration phase of operations and have not generated any revenues from operations.

 

In October 2014, we formed our wholly-owned subsidiary, Hay Mountain Holdings LLC (“HMH”) (formerly known as Hay Mountain Super Project LLC), to serve as the primary holding company for development of the potential ore bodies encompassed in the Hay Mountain area of interest in Arizona. On April 11, 2019, we formed a new subsidiary named Earp Ridge Mines LLC, wholly owned by Hay Mountain Holdings LLC, intended for engagement with future venture partners.

 

On August 13, 2020, the Company formed Red Rock Mines, LLC, an Arizona corporation, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hay Mountain Holdings, LLC.

 

Our Current Business

 

We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the state of Arizona and the Southwest USA. Claims in the state of Arizona are held in the name of Liberty Star. We use the term “Super Project” to indicate a project in which numerous mineral targets have been identified, any one or more of which could potentially contain commercially viable quantities of minerals. Our significant projects are described below.

 

15

 

 

Tombstone Super Project (“Tombstone”): Tombstone is a large and ancient (72 million years before the present – or Laramide in age) volcanic structure – a caldera. The US Geological Survey caldera experts conclude this is correct. Subsequently, more than seventeen calderas of various ages have been identified in Arizona by the US Geological survey, the Arizona Geological Survey and others. Such calderas of Laramide age are all associated with porphyry alteration and copper and associated mineralization; many of these have become very large copper mines. Advanced technology has indicated that alteration associated mineralization at Tombstone is much more extensive than originally thought. This alteration lies largely under cover and is indicated by geochemistry, geophysics and projection of known geology into covered areas.

 

All the properties summarized below are considered as “Exploration stage properties” under the definition of SK1300 and are considered “non-material properties.”

 

The Hay Mountain Property: The Hay Mountain Property is located 6.5 miles southeast of Tombstone where we hold 35 Arizona State Mineral Exploration Permits (MEPs) covering (12,878.18 acres) or 20.12 square miles, and 93 federal lode mining claims covering (1,594.68 acres) or 2.49 square miles and is accessible by Hwy 80, Davis Rd. and Wild West Road.

 

At Hay Mountain, we plan to ascertain whether the Hay Mountain lode mining claims and AZ MEPs possess commercially viable deposits of copper, gold, molybdenum, silver, zinc, rare earth metals and other valuable metals. We have a phased exploration plan that involves diamond drilling of multiple holes over targets determined by analysis of geochemical sampling and ZTEM electromagnetic and magnetic survey. Initial phase 1 drilling is planned to take approximately one year. Should results indicate the viability of the property, additional phased work, both exploration and development, is planned over the course of seven total years to define the nature and size of any potential ore bodies and move toward mining. Any exploration plans are dependent on acquiring suitable funding. No part of the phased program is currently funded.

 

From early December 2023 until March 4, 2024, we drilled the first two holes of our Phase 1 drilling project in the Hay Mountain Property. Hole HM-23-01 was 1,500’ deep and hole HM-23-02 was 3,437’ deep. The first two holes do not provide a sufficient data set to prepare an estimate of the overall mineral resources under S-K 1300. These holes were designed as a ‘test of concept’ to check the results of the previous geochemical and geophysical work done by us in the past. Hole HM-23-01 was not drilled deep enough to encounter alteration nor mineralization and will be deepened at a future date. Hole HM-23-02 did encounter alteration and mineralization associated with a copper porphyry system, with trace level copper values found in the intrusive rock to 0.1%. Further drilling will be required in this area to begin to understand the scope and source of that mineralization.

 

Holes 01 and 02 are the first two holes of a much larger phase of planned drilling to be conducted in 2024. A full technical report on the drilling program will be prepared at the conclusion of phase one.

 

On November 25, 2020, the Company received approval from the Arizona State Land Department for 5 additional MEP’s covering 2,369.15 acres for a total of 16,662.10 acres or 26.03 square miles at our Hay Mountain Property.

 

From July 14th to August 5th, 2020, field mapping was conducted on the Hay Mountain Property, located 7 km southeast of Tombstone, in Cochise County, Arizona. The purpose of mapping was to identify alteration and veining associated with an inferred porphyry copper system at depth, determine the extent of hydrothermal alteration, and comment on the possible timing of emplaced mineralization. Mapping was conducted at 1:10,000 scale and a total of 183 carbonate vein samples were taken for XRF analysis and UV fluorescence response.

 

Robbers Roost exploration property: On June 16, 2020, the Company acquired 2 Mineral Exploration Permits (“MEP”) covering 240 acres at Robbers Roost. Which is located 5.89 miles west of the Hay Mountain Project. While the Robbers Roost MEP area is new to the Company, it has been explored previously by several exploration companies, in the 1970’s and 1990’s, and recently has received significant interest by others operating in the area. Drilling by ASARCO indicates “the presence of a granodioritic porphyry intrusive at depth below the alteration zone. The intrusive is characterized by porphyry copper style alteration and mineralization.” (JB Nelson, “Robbers’ Roost Summary Report,” 1995, p. 2 http://docs.azgs.az.gov/SpecColl/2008-01/2008-01-0103.pdf)

Red Rock Canyon exploration property: As of mid-March 2024, the Company is currently conducting a statistical sampling program on the property. Channel samples are cut using a handheld rock saw across the jasperoid lenses at measured lengths and spacing between the channels. QA/QC samples are being inserted into the sample stream as per “Industry Standard”. Results are pending.

 

On August 20, 2021, the Company executed a financing agreement for the purpose of drilling for the Red Rock Canyon Gold Property in Cochise County, Arizona. The agreement allowed for a $1,000,000 common stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a $1,000,000 warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement,” together “the Agreements”) with Triton Funds LP (“Triton”) of San Diego, California under a Form S-1 registration now effective. As of December 31, 2022, the purchase agreement expired.

 

On May 26, 2021, the Company announced the public release of geochemical assay results prepared by ALS/USA Inc. The Company noted in its news release issued May 21, 2021 that the results were forthcoming. Previously released geochemical assay results from October 2020 and February 2021 can be viewed on the Liberty Star Minerals website. This set of results strongly aligns with previous assay results indicating that the Red Rock portion of the Hay Mountain Project is a potential gold property.

 

On March 15, 2021, the Company announced the release of more rock chip assay results from the Red Rock Canyon area located within the Hay Mountain Project. 28 samples were submitted to the ALS/USA Inc. Tucson location with results returned to the Company February 6, 2021. This set of samples are within and outside of the original study area and expand on the October 2020 geochemical sampling undertaken on MEP land within the Company’s Red Rock Canyon holdings.

 

On November 11, 2020, the Company announced the identification of potentially exploitable gold mineralization on its recently acquired Arizona State Land Department Mineral Exploration Permits. Preliminary surface exploration on the Red Rock MEPs advances the Company’s knowledge of the porphyry system signature associated with magnetic highs at, and adjacent to the north of, Target 1, and represent the expansion of biogeochemical, surface rock sampling, and x-ray fluorescence (“XRF”) work continuing at Target 1 and on the anticipated gold halo likely associated with the indicated porphyry center. The Company discovered multiple outcrops of intensely silicified rock in the initial observational field work. These outcrops generally occur in linear features several feet in thickness with multiple features oriented en-echelon with interstitial host country rock of varying horizontal dimension. These outcrops contain densely distributed jasperoids, which, when sampled yield what the Company believes are potentially economically exploitable concentrations of gold. There was a total of 23 representative (1 to 2 kg) rock sample assays. These assays demonstrate gold concentrations ranging from below detection limits of 0.05 ppm in country rock surrounding certain outcrops to a high of 13.55 ppm in direct outcrop samples. Of the 23 assayed samples, nine (9) show gold concentrations of 0.95 ppm or more.

 

The Tombstone exploration property: The Tombstone exploration property consists of nine claims that are undeveloped. However, significant amounts of aeromagnetic surveys, IP (Induced Polarization Surveys), geologic mapping by the USGS and others, and geochemical surveys including soil, rock and vegetation sampling have been conducted at various times by various parties, over the last 60 years. When compiled and analyzed these various data suggest a compelling series of anomalies that are typical of buried, dirt and rock covered porphyry copper system(s). Below is a summary of prior exploration activities performed on our Tombstone claims: Technical Report: In mid-March 2011, Liberty Star contracted SRK to prepare three (3) Technical studies and Reports in a form similar to mineral reports prescribed under NI 43-101. Members of SRK’s engineering/scientific staff supervised by a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101 and SRK’s Tucson Office Principal Geologist, Corolla Hoag, and geologist Dr. Jan Rasmussen have visited the Tombstone property.

 

Title to mineral claims involves certain inherent risks due to difficulties in determining the validity of certain claims, as well as potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. We have investigated title to all the Company’s mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all properties retained are in good standing.

 

The mineral resource business generally consists of three stages: exploration, development and production. Mineral resource companies that are in the exploration stage have not yet found mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities and are engaged in exploring land in an effort to discover them. Mineral resource companies that have located a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantities and are preparing to extract that resource are in the development stage, while those engaged in the extraction of a known mineral resource are in the production stage. We have not found any mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities.

 

17

 

 

There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties, and further exploration is required before we can evaluate whether any exist and, if so, whether it would be economically feasible to develop or exploit those resources. Even if we complete our current exploration program and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we would be required to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we could know whether that mineral deposit will constitute a commercially viable mineral deposit, known as an “ore reserve.”

 

SK 1300 Regulation

 

Liberty Star has performed many hours of field work mapping and sampling on our Red Rock Canyon Gold Project and although we do not have drilling core to prove results, we have through analysis of Geochem sampling, evidence of an anomaly.

 

To date, we have not generated any revenues. Our ability to pursue our business plan and generate revenues is subject to our ability to obtain additional financing, and we cannot give any assurance that we will be able to do so.

 

Results of Operations

 

Results of Operations for the Three-Month Periods Ended April 30, 2024 and 2023

 

We had net income of $311,381 for the three months ended April 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $118,579 for the three months ended April 30, 2023. The change in net loss was primarily due to a change in derivative liability.

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2024, we had an increase of $318,864 in geological and geophysical expense compared to the three months ended April 30, 2023, due primarily to an increase in geologist fees and filing fees for the three month period. During the three months ended April 30, 2024, we had an increase of $11,967 in salaries and benefit expense compared to the three months ended April 30, 2023, due to an increase in wages, benefits and reimbursements. During the three months ended April 30, 2024, we had a decrease of $9,251 in professional services compared to the three months ended April 30, 2023, due primarily to a decrease in the contractor fees. We had an increase in general and administrative expenses of $62,831 during the three months ended April 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2023 which was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation. We had a decrease in interest expense of $25,472 during the three months ended April 30, 2024, as compared to the three months ended April 30, 2023, due primarily to interest of notes payable and convertible notes payable. We had a gain of $851,032 and $63,102 on change in fair value of derivative liability for the three months ended April 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

Summary of Cash Flows

 

Cash used in operating activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $435,713 and $119,913 for the three months ended April 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and mainly included payments made for geological and geophysical costs, compensation, and professional fees to our consultants, attorneys and accountants.

 

Cash provided by financing activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $375,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2024, related to the proceeds from convertible promissory notes and proceeds from notes payable, related party, which were offset by the repayment of advances, related party. Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $93,406 for the three months ended April 30, 2023, related to the proceeds from convertible promissory notes and receipt of subscription receivable, which were offset by the repayment of notes payable.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto. We consider critical accounting policies to be those that require more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, including the following: long lived assets; intangible assets valuations; and income tax valuations. Management relies on historical experience and other assumptions believed to be reasonable in making its judgment and estimates. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Management believes its application of accounting policies, and the estimates inherently required therein, are reasonable. These accounting policies and estimates are periodically reevaluated, and adjustments are made when facts and circumstances dictate a change.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

 

19

 

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at April 30, 2024, which is the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out by Ms. Patricia Madaris, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on this evaluation, Ms. Patricia Madaris has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as at the end of the period covered by this report. Given the size of our current operation and existing personnel, the opportunity to implement internal control procedures that segregate accounting duties and responsibilities is limited. Until the organization can increase in size to warrant an increase in personnel, formal internal control procedures will not be implemented until they can be effectively executed and monitored. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended April 30, 2024, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended April 30, 2024, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

 

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

There are no pending or threatened legal proceedings involving our company. However, from time to time, we may become involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Those claims, even if lacking merit, could result in the expenditure by us of significant financial and managerial resources. We may become involved in material legal proceedings in the future.

The operation of our mine(s) that may be developed in the future would be subject to regulation by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977.
