Lithium Exploration Group, Inc.
(formerly Mariposa Resources, Ltd.)
 
(An Exploration Stage Company)
 
Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
 

1. Organization

Lithium Exploration Group, Inc. (formerly Mariposa Resources, Ltd.) (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 31, 2006 in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. It is based in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Company’s fiscal year end is June 30.

Effective November 30, 2010, the Company changed its name to “Lithium Exploration Group, Inc.,” by way of a merger with its wholly-owned subsidiary Lithium Exploration Group, Inc., which was formed solely for the change of name. All intercompany transactions (if any) have been eliminated upon consolidation.

A wholly owned subsidiary, 1617437 Alberta Ltd was incorporated in the province of Alberta, Canada on July 8, 2011.

The Company is an exploration stage company that engages principally in the acquisition, exploration, and development of resource properties. Prior to June 25, 2009, the Company had the right to conduct exploration work on 20 mineral mining claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada, U.S.A. On July 31, 2009, the Company acquired an option to enter into a joint venture for the management and ownership of the Jack Creek Project, a mining project located in Elko County, Nevada. On September 25, 2009, the joint venture was terminated and the Company entered into an agreement with Beeston Enterprises Ltd., under which the Company was granted an option to acquire an undivided 50% interest in eight mineral claims located in the Clinton Mining District of British Columbia, Canada. On December 16, 2010, the Company entered into an Assignment Agreement to acquire an undivided 100% right, title and interest in and to certain mineral permits located in the Province of Alberta, Canada (see Note 5). On January 18, 2011, the Company entered into a Purchase Option Agreement to acquire an undivided 60% interest in certain mineral claims known as the Salta Aqua Claims located in Salta Province, Argentina (See Note 5). To date, the Company’s activities have been limited to its formation, the raising of equity capital and its mining exploration work program.

Exploration Stage Company

The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage as defined in FASC 915-10-05 “Development Stage Entities,” and interpreted by the Securities and Exchange Commission for mining companies in Industry Guide 7. The Company is devoting substantially all of its efforts to development of business plans and the acquisition of mineral properties.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of the Company.

2. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with original maturities of less than three months, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. The Company had $960,703 and $1,009,993 in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

Start-Up Costs

In accordance with FASC 720-15-20 “Start-Up Costs,” the Company expenses all costs incurred in connection with the start-up and organization of the Company.

Mineral Acquisition and Exploration Costs

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on May 31, 2006 and has not yet realized any revenue from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables it will likely incur in the near future. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.

Net Income or (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

The Company has adopted FASC Topic No. 260, “Earnings Per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Foreign Currency Translations

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the US dollar. All transactions initiated in other currencies are translated into US dollars using the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the US dollar at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Unrealized exchange gains and losses arising from such transactions are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Upon realization, the amount deferred is recognized in income in the period when it is realized.

No significant realized exchange gain or losses were recorded from inception (May 31, 2006) to September 30, 2011.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

FASC Topic No. 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. From inception (May 31, 2006) to September 30, 2011, the Company had no items of other comprehensive income. Therefore, net loss equals comprehensive loss from inception (May 31, 2006) to September 30, 2011.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company operates in the resource exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with operating a resource exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.

Environmental Expenditures

The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time in varying degree by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company's policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. All of these types of expenditures incurred since inception have been charged against earnings due to the uncertainty of their future recoverability. Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent accounting pronouncements that are listed below did not, and are not currently expected to, have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements, but will be implemented in the Company’s future financial reporting when applicable.

FASB Statements:

In June 2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.

3. Capital Stock

Authorized Stock

At inception, the Company authorized 100,000,000 common shares and 100,000,000 preferred shares, both with a par value of $0.001 per share. Each common share entitles the holder to one vote, in person or proxy, on any matter on which action of the stockholders of the corporation is sought.

Effective April 8, 2009, the Company increased the number of authorized shares to 600,000,000 shares, of which 500,000,000 shares are designated as common stock par value $0.001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Effective April 30, 2009, the Company effected a 10 for 1 forward split of its common stock, under which each shareholder of record on that date received ten (10) new shares of the Corporation’s $0.001 par value stock for every one (1) old share outstanding.

Since its inception (May 31, 2006), the Company has issued shares of its common stock as follows, retroactively adjusted to give effect to the 10 for 1 forward split:

            Price Per        
Date Description   Shares     Share     Amount  
                     
06/06/06 Shares issued for cash   20,000,000   $ 0.001   $  20,000  
07/01/06 Shares issued for cash   10,000,000     0.001     10,000  
12/11/06 Shares issued for cash   17,375,000     0.004     69,500  
01/27/11 Shares issued for cash   250,000     1.000     250,000  
04/27/11 Shares issued for director fees   2,300,000     7.650     17,595,000

3. Capital Stock - Continued

Of these shares, 32,300,000 were issued to directors and officers of the Company. 17,815,476 were issued to independent investors. 500,000 were issued for mining expenses (Note 5). 300,000 were issued for investor relation expenses. 200,000 were issued for debt settlement. There are no preferred shares outstanding. The Company has no stock option plan, warrants or potentially dilutive securities, other than an option granted to Glottech (See Note 5) for 2,000,000 shares and warrants issued as part of the convertible debenture (See Note 6). Such potentially dilutive securities have not been included in the computation of fully-diluted earnings per share as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

As per management agreements, the Company is obligated to issue 300,000 common shares to two directors by April 12, 2012 and April 27, 2013 respectively provided that they continue to serve as members to the Company’s board of directors.

4. Provision for Income Taxes

The Company recognizes the tax effects of transactions in the year in which such transactions enter into the determination of net income, regardless of when reported for tax purposes. Deferred taxes are provided in the financial statements under FASC 718-740-20 to give effect to the resulting temporary differences which may arise from differences in the bases of fixed assets, depreciation methods, allowances, and start-up costs based on the income taxes expected to be payable in future years.

Exploration stage deferred tax assets arising as a result of net operating loss carryforwards and other currently non-deductible items such as stock based compensation have been offset completely by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of their utilization in future periods. Operating loss carryforwards generated during the period from May 31, 2006 (date of inception) through September 30, 2011 of $3,955,711 will begin to expire in 2026. Accordingly, deferred tax assets were offset by the valuation allowance that increased by approximately $69,406 and increased by approximately $2,400 during the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company follows the provisions of uncertain tax positions as addressed in FASC 740-10-65-1. The Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company has no tax position at September 30, 2011 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at September 30, 2011. The Company’s utilization of any net operating loss carry forward may be unlikely as a result of its intended exploration stage activities. The tax years for June 30, 2011, June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 are still open for examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Glottech Technology

On March 17, 2011, the Company entered into a letter agreement to acquire one initial unit of proprietary and patented mechanical ultrasound technology for use in water purification, inclusive of its process of separating from water, as the primary fluid stock, the salt and other minerals and by –products contained therein, with Glottech – USA.

To acquire the unit, the Company must make the following payments:

  a)

US$25,000 upon execution of the agreement (paid);

  b)

US$75,000 within 180 days of execution of the agreement (paid);

  c)

US$700,000 within 10 days of receipt of invoice from Glottech –USA LLC if the payment in b) is made (paid).

  d)

The Company also granted an option to acquire 2,000,000 shares at $1.00 per share to Glottech – USA upon receipt of the operational ultrasonic generator that they are in the process of building for Lithium Exploration Group. The 2,000,000 shares are to be paid from outstanding shares owned by Alex Walsh, company CEO.

6. Convertible Debenture and Derivative Liabilities

Prior to June 30, 2011, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with one investor. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the investor acquired convertible debentures with an aggregate total of $1,500,000.The debenture is due on December 28, 2012 and carries an interest rate of 12% per annum. The debenture is convertible at $0.83 per share subject to various prescribed conditions. During the period ended September 30, 2011, an interest expense of $45,000 was accrued.

Along with the debenture, the Company issued warrants to acquire a total of 1,807,229 shares of the Company for a period of five years at an exercise price of $0.913 of which 1,204,819 warrants were granted on June 29, 2011 and 602,410 warrants were granted on July 12, 2011.

The warrants bear a cashless exercise provision which resulted in derivative liability treatment under ASC topic 815-10-55 totaling $2,168,674 and $1,006,025 for warrants issued on June 29, 2011 and July 12, 2011 respectively. Because proceeds from the debenture as of June 30, 2011 were only $1,000,000, corresponding 1,204,819 warrants resulted in additional financing expenses of $1,168,674 in the year ended June 30, 2011. In July 2011, additional proceeds of $500,000 from the debenture were received. Corresponding 602,410 warrants resulted in additional financing expenses of $506,025 in the period ended September 30, 2011.

The Company used the Lattice Model for valuing warrants using the following assumptions:

  • Risk-free interest rate – 0.96%
  • Term – 5 year
  • Dividend yield – 0%
  • Underlying stock price - $0.93
  • Volatility – 453%

At September 30, 2011, the warrants were valued at $1,680,724 resulting in a gain on derivative liability of $1,385,542 in the period ended September 30, 2011. The corresponding beneficial conversion feature of $1,500,000 was accreted to interest expenses over the term of debenture of 18 months. During the period ended September 30, 2011, an accretion of $280,121 was recognized.

7. Due to Related Party

As of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Company was obligated to a director for a non-interest bearing demand loan with a balance of $47,537 and $47,537, respectively. The Company plans to pay the loan back as cash flows become available.

8. Investment

On September 30, 2011, the Company paid US$97,464 (CDN $100,000) in consideration for 400,000 shares of First Reef Energy Inc. First Reef Energy Inc. holds a working interest in an exploration well being drilled near the Valleyview Project in Alberta, CA. The investment was made to gain access to drill logs, core samples, and any other data compiled from the drilling of the exploration well.

9. Going Concern and Liquidity Considerations

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As at September 30, 2011, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $604,458 and an accumulated deficit of $25,665,137. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months.

The ability of the Company to emerge from the exploration stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, explore and develop the mineral properties and the discovery, development and sale of ore reserves.

In response to these problems, management intends to raise additional funds through public or private placement offerings.

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

10. Subsequent events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from September 30, 2011 through the date of this report, and determined there are no additional items to disclose.

Corporate History

We were incorporated on May 31, 2006 in the State of Nevada under the name “Mariposa Resources, Ltd.” Effective November 30, 2010, we changed our name to “Lithium Exploration Group, Inc.” by way of a merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary Lithium Exploration Group, Inc., which was formed solely for the change of name.

Our executive offices are located at 3200 N. Hayden Road, Suite 235, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251, and our telephone number is (480) 641-4790.

Other than as set out herein, we have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings, nor have we been a party to any material reclassification, merger, consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of our business.

Our Current Business

We are an exploration stage company that engages principally in the acquisition, exploration, and development of resource properties. Prior to June 25, 2009, we had the right to conduct exploration work on 20 mineral mining claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada. On July 31, 2009, we acquired an option to enter into a joint venture for the management and ownership of the Jack Creek Project, a mining project located in Elko County, Nevada. On September 25, 2009, the joint venture was terminated and we entered into an agreement with Beeston Enterprises Ltd., under which our company was granted an option to acquire an undivided 50% interest in eight mineral claims located in the Clinton Mining District of British Columbia, Canada. On March 17, 2011 we terminated the option agreement with Beeston.

On December 16, 2010, we entered into an assignment agreement to acquire an undivided 100% right, title and interest in and to certain mineral permits located in the Province of Alberta, Canada. To date, our activities have been limited to our formation, the raising of equity capital and our mining exploration work program.

21


On January 18, 2011, we entered into a purchase option agreement with Salta Water Co. and we have acquired a 60% interest on the Salta Aqua claims in Salta Province, Argentina. We have a further option to acquire the remaining 40% interest from Salta Water. On February 1, 2011, we issued 250,000 common shares at a deemed price of $0.10 per share for mining expenses relating to the Salta Aqua Claims. The price of the issued shares was based on the market price of the shares on January 31, 2011.

On March 17, 2011, we entered into a letter agreement with Glottech-USA, LLC for an acquisition of one initial unit of certain proprietary and patented mechanical ultrasound technology for use in the water treatment in regards to our lithium operations in Alberta, Canada. Our officer and director Alexander Walsh met the principals of Glottech-USA in 2009 in the course of operating his consulting company AW Enterprises LLC. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Glottech-USA will assemble and ship to our company one unit of the technology specifically designed for our water treatment purposes and will license the use of the technology. Furthermore, we have agreed that in the event that we have purchased a minimum of five technology units within twelve months from the date of execution, Glottech-USA has agreed that it will neither license nor lease the technology to any third party for the purposes of mineral extraction in the country of Canada.

In exchange for the acquisition of the technology, we have agreed to pay to Glottech-USA a licensing and technology payment in the amount of $800,000 as follows:

  (1)

$25,000 upon execution of the agreement;

     
  (2)

$75,000 within 180 days of the date of execution which shall serve as confirmation by the company of its intent to formally proceed with the intent of the agreement (the “confirmation payment”);

     
  (3)

$700,000 within 10 days of receipt of invoice from Glottech-USA to cover the cost of components and assembly for one technology unit; and

     
  (4)

monthly royalties, to be paid within 15 calendar days from the receipt of the invoice, in an amount of $2.00 per physical ton of water processed pursuant to the usage of the technology following satisfactory delivery and physical setup of the technology and continuing thereafter for as long as the technology remains in our possession.

In addition, as amended, the agreement provides for the issuance to Glottech-USA of an option to acquire up to 2,000,000 shares of our common stock owned by our president, Alexander Walsh. Such option is exercisable for a period of 12 months at an aggregate exercise price of $1.00. The share issuance to Glottech-USA will come from the shares held by president, Alexander Walsh. This pledge is written into the terms of the agreement and as such there is no separate pledge agreement between Mr. Walsh and Glottech-USA.

Glottech-USA’s technology is designed to separate suspended solids from water (brine), which is one step in the process that we are taking to produce commercially viable minerals. The technology produces extremely high temperatures which destroy organic substances such as bacteria and other toxic agents. We believe that Glottech-USA's technology can provide lower costs of operation as well as reduced time for site clean-up than traditional methods of water treatment. We anticipate using this application to extract dissolved solids like lithium, potassium, and magnesium from oil field brine. The disposal of produced water (brine) from oil and gas production in Alberta is a significant environmental issue for the province and presents a considerable economic issue for producers. We intend to partner with the use of the technology on our Valleyview Property in Alberta, in cooperation with oil and gas producers, to treat and dispose of their produced water while monetizing the minerals that are contained within that produced water stream that is being brought to the surface during the oil and gas production process. As we own the MAIM (Metallic and Industrial Mineral) claims to the minerals on the Valleyview Property, the minerals contained in their produced water stream fall under our rights. While we have had discussions with oil and gas consultants and oil operators regarding their difficulties in treating the brine at some of their fields, we have no formal agreements in place.

The technical process is based on the use of mechanical ultrasound generated through the production of a series of cavitations. Mechanical ultrasound is a machine-produced sound of a frequency above the upper limit of the normal range of human hearing. Cavitations are the rapid formation and collapse of bubbles in liquids, caused by the movement of something such as a propeller or by waves of high-frequency sound. The production of mechanical ultrasound allows Glottech-USA’s technology to distil the fluid stock. Using mechanical ultrasound for distillation has been attempted before, but the external energy requirement needed to produce the mechanical ultrasound was far too expensive to make it commercially viable. Glottech-USA’s technology uses the energy released during the cavitations in order to make it commercially viable from an economic perspective. During these cavitations, a millisecond of energy is released. During this release temperatures can reach 5000 degrees centigrade. As this is a pilot unit, no other units are currently in production.

This initial unit was projected to be completed September 30, 2011 but has experienced delays due to modifications in the design of the generator and a hurricane in September impacting the production times for various part manufacturers. The generator is the critical component to the technology because the internal workings are where the cavitations are produced causing excitation of the molecules and heat which are the critical initial step to the separation of the suspended solids in the fluid stock. The final generator manufacturer was selected in the summer and after many design meetings with their team a decision was made in August to modify the design of the generator to make the components 40% larger, and configuring it vertically instead of horizontally. These adjustments were made to provide greater efficiency of the generator and the overall unit. They were collaboratively made and agreed upon by the scientist and engineers at Glottech and the engineers at the generator manufacturer. This modification to the generator design caused a material delay in the production but it also delayed the ordering of the other parts to the unit because each of the other components could not be designed and ordered until the generator design was finalized due to different size valves, different weight limits, and flow rates. The hurricane that caused flooding and power outages across the east coast in September also caused the generator manufacturer to be closed for nearly 2 weeks, delaying the ordered components for our generator.

We have been in communication with the COO of Glottech USA updating the progress of the unit weekly since the beginning of September. The initial generator parts arrived from the foundry and assembly began on November 1, 2011. This initial step is critical for the completion of the operational unit and allows for all of the other steps in the assembly process to begin. The only other major customized component that goes into the assembly of the unit is the phase separator. That phase separator has been ordered and delivery is expected on or before December 16, 2011.

Once the generator has been assembled, balanced, and tested at the manufacturer and the phase separator has been completed they will be sent to Glottech’s facility for final assembly of the unit. That process is scheduled to begin on or before November 21, 2011 and is projected to take 3 – 5 weeks. Assembly will begin at Glottech's facility when the generator is complete. Components will be installed into the overall system as they become available. Final assembly will proceed when the phase separator arrives at Glottech's facility. A fully assembled system is projected to be complete by mid January 2012. In working with Glottech management we have built this timeframe conservatively based upon information that we have today from the various vendors. Due to confidentiality of Glottech’s proprietary technology and vendor relationships we are unable to provide their names but we have received updates from each of the vendors to corroborate the information from Glottech and ensure the accuracy of the information provided above.

On May 3, 2011, we entered into a settlement agreement with Beeston Enterprises Ltd., in regard to all of Beeston’s claims against our company arising under an option agreement for the option of various mining claims from Beeston by our company dated September 25, 2009 and terminated by our company on March 17, 2011. Under the terms of the settlement Beeston received the sum of CDN$54,623.65 and 200,000 restricted shares of common stock of our company in full and complete settlement of all claims against our company including, but without limitation, all claims for the payment of various amounts due and owing to Beeston by our company under the terms of the option agreement for past and future mining claim maintenance fees, the costs for re-claiming four of the eight mining claims optioned under the option agreement and damages for the loss of four mining claims.

On June 29, 2011 we entered into a securities purchase agreement with one investor. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the investor acquired convertible debentures with an aggregate total of $1,500,000; $1,000,000 paid on June 29, 2011 and $500,000 paid on July 12, 2011.

The initial debenture for $1,000,000 is due on December 28, 2012. The release of the full $1,500,000 to us is governed by the terms of an escrow agreement entered into on the same day. We received the initial $1,000,000 on June 29, 2011.

The debenture carries an interest rate of 12% per annum and is convertible at $0.83 per share subject to various prescribed conditions. Along with the debentures, we have issued warrants to acquire a total of 1,204,819 shares of our common stock for a period of five years at a price of $0.913. The warrants also include cashless exercise provisions in the event that the registration statement is not effective.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into with the investor on the same day, we are required to file a registration statement for the shares underlying the convertible debentures, as well as the warrants, within 30 days of the closing of the initial $1,000,000 and ensure that the registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission within 120 days of the closing.

Also on June 29, 2011, Alexander Walsh, our officer and director, entered into a guaranty and pledge agreement whereby he pledged 25,000,000 shares of our common stock currently held by him, as collateral and guaranty for our obligations under the securities purchase agreement and the debentures.

On July 12, 2011 we received the remaining $500,000 from the investor and entered into a $500,000 convertible debenture. The debenture is due on December 28, 2012 and carries an interest rate of 12% per annum. The debenture is also convertible at $0.83 per share, subject to various prescribed conditions. Along with the debentures, we have issued to warrants to acquire a total of 602,410 shares of our common stock for a period of five years at a price of $0.913. The warrants also include cashless exercise provisions in the event that a registration statement covering is not effective. The debenture and warrants were entered into on July 12, 2011.

At our Valleyview Project we completed a 12 week sample testing program on May 31, 2011. We are initiating the process to complete the resource estimates for the Valleyview Project, and hope to have it completed by December 31, 2011. Immediate plans include conducting bulk sampling to be utilized in the design of a separation process to produce battery-grade lithium carbonate, potash (KCl), and magnesium hydroxide: Once the bulk sampling and separation process have been completed we will raise capital to build a pilot scale plant in Valleyview to begin the production of the outlined minerals. On July 28, 2011 we staked additional lands at our Valleyview Project bringing our contiguous claim holdings at the property to 517,960 acres.

On September 30, 2011 we invested CAD$100,000 in an exploration well at our Valleyview Project. The well is to be drilled to a total depth of 3500 meters taking core samples from multiple zones that have been targeted for hydrocarbon production. We made this investment because of our interest in the potential mineral production from these targeted zones and will have access to all data associated with the project. In return for our investment we also received 400,000 shares of working interest in the well valued at CAD$0.25 and will financially benefit from any value derived from the project if they find economically viable levels of oil and gas production. Drilling began on October 9, 2011 and is expected to be completed in November 2011. As of October 31, 2011 the well had been drilled to 3200 meters. The various cores samples that have been taken from zones on the way down to the target depth of 3500 meters have been sent to the lab for analysis.

APEX Geoscience Ltd., with whom we entered into a consulting agreement in August 2011, will assist us in furthering the Valleyview Project by completing a NI43-101 compliant technical report and resource estimate. The substantive steps and timeline of this project are as follows:

  • July 20 to September 1, 2011: Download and prepare downhole GeoScout geological, geophysical, water chemistry and water production data required and forward to hydrogeological consultant. This part of the project has been completed.

24


  • September 1 to October 30th, 2011: The water data from the testing program has been sent to the hydrogeological consultant and they have commenced downhole geological modeling of the pertinent reservoir geology in Micromine. Their report due at the end of October 2011 will give hydrogeological characteristics for the entire aquifer covering the 517,960 acres that we hold MAIM rights to at our Valleyview Project. A meeting between the hydrogeological consultant and Apex Geoscience is scheduled for November 10, 2011 to review the reported findings.

  • October 30 to November 21, 2011: Receive and integrate aquifer data into Micromine. Start wire-framing aquifer data into a 3D model that will include porosity, effective porosity, permeability and potential flow dynamics. Once aquifer model is created and checked, integrate into some sort of basic formation water flow simulation model. Commence block modeling and in-situ resource estimate.

  • November 21 to December 21, 2011: Complete resource estimation and create preliminary draft of Resource Technical Report, and upon review complete resource Technical Report. The report will only measure a resource estimate for the area from which we have received test sampling in the past and will be prepared to meet the NI43-101 technical report guidelines.

Our total budget for this project is $139,825. $60,500 is budgeted for reservoir characterization; $28,500 is budgeted for oilfield geological modeling; $18,075 is budgeted for formation water and reservoir geological modeling; $15,500 is budgeted for Li and other metal resource modeling; and $17,250 is budgeted for the 43-101 report preparation. Exploration work will be led by Mike Dufresne, President of APEX Geoscience Ltd.

On August 8, 2011 we retained a team of researchers from the University of Alberta to provide analysis of a separation process to target lithium, potassium, magnesium, and other mineral compounds in the Valleyview Project brine. The goal of working with the University of Alberta team is to develop novel and economical approaches/processes to separate the valuable minerals from the brine and develop a strategy to further refine the waste product to be utilized in various compounds of industrial salts. The first phase of the project is to be completed by the end of November 2011 and will develop a “white paper” of three to eight potential process flow candidates for further review in a pilot scale upon completion of the ultrasonic generator.

We have also initiated our exploration efforts at the Salta Project. On July 11, 2011 we contracted a firm to produce high resolution imaging of both sets of cateos to show road access to the properties and provide our exploration team the information they need to target the areas of the property that could produce the best early exploration results. On September 12, 2011 we engaged Montgomery & Associates to send a team to both properties associated with our Salta Project to get on site photographs and hand auger testing of the ground water. They will be collecting 20 – 30 samples to be sent for testing and capturing GPS coordinates for the samples to use for expanded exploration efforts. The team from Montgomery & Associates is set to travel to the property in November 2011.

The report of our auditors on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, contains a going concern qualification as we have suffered losses since our inception. We have minimal assets and have achieved no operating revenues since our inception. We have depended on loans and sales of equity securities to conduct operations. Unless and until we commence material operations and achieve material revenues, we will remain dependent on financings to continue our operations.

Anticipated Cash Requirements

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this filing. Our unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

On June, 29, 2011 we entered into a debenture agreement which provided $1,500,000 to the company fulfilling our planned exploration expenditures as well as providing working capital to the company’s future planning. Our present plan of operations calls for $650,000 in planned exploration, operation, and administrative expenses for the year end June 30, 2012.

We received the initial $1,000,000 on June 29, 2011 and the remaining $500,000 on July 12, 2011. The debentures mature on December 28, 2012 and carry an interest rate of 12% per annum. The interest is payable on the maturity date in cash or, at our option, in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of our common stock, subject to certain prescribed conditions. The debentures are also convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of common stock at a price equal to (i) the lesser of 65% of the lowest reported sale price of the common stock for the twenty trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion, or (ii) $0.83 per share, subject to various prescribed conditions. The investor may not convert the debentures at any time if upon such conversion the investor would become the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. The debentures include anti-dilution protection with respect to lower priced issuances of common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock.

Along with the debentures, we also issued warrants to acquire a total of 1,807,229 shares of our common stock for a period of five years at a price of $0.913 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The warrants also include cashless exercise provisions in the event that the Registration Statement is not effective. The investor may not exercise the warrants at any time if upon such exercise the investor would become the beneficial owner of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. The warrants include anti-dilution protection with respect to lower priced issuances of common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock.

We estimate that our expenses over the next 12 months will be approximately $650,000 as described in the table below. These estimates may change significantly depending on the nature of our future business activities and our ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources.

Description   Estimated     Estimated  
    Completion     Expenses  
    Date     ($)  
General and administrative   12 months     200,000  
Mining expenses   12 months     400,000  
Professional fees   12 months     50,000  
Total         $650,000  

We intend to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months through a combination of debt financing and equity financing by way of private placements. On June 29, 2011 we entered into a securities purchase agreement with one investor. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the investor acquired convertible debentures with an aggregate total principal of $1,500,000. We received the initial $1,000,000 on June 29, 2011 and the remaining $500,000 on July 12, 2011. The investor has a right to invest an additional $1,500,000 on the same terms. We currently do not have any other arrangements in place to complete any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings on terms that will be acceptable to us.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no 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.

Inflation

The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission include, where applicable, disclosures of estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and markets that could affect the financial statements and future operations of our company.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in banks, money market funds, and certificates of term deposits with original maturities of less than three months, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which, in the opinion of management, are subject to an insignificant risk of loss in value. Our company had $960,703 and $1,009,993 in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

Start-Up Costs

In accordance with FASC 720-15-20 “Start-Up Costs,” our company expenses all costs incurred in connection with the start-up and organization of our company.

Mineral Acquisition and Exploration Costs

Our company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on May 31, 2006 and has not yet realized any revenue from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Our company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and cash equivalents and related party payables it will likely incur in the near future. Our company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. Our company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.

Net Income or (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

Our company has adopted FASC Topic No. 260, “Earnings Per Share,” (“EPS”) which requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income/loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

28


Foreign Currency Translations

Our company’s functional and reporting currency is the US dollar. All transactions initiated in other currencies are translated into US dollars using the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the US dollar at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Unrealized exchange gains and losses arising from such transactions are deferred until realization and are included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit) as a component of comprehensive income or loss. Upon realization, the amount deferred is recognized in income in the period when it is realized.

No significant realized exchange gain or losses were recorded from inception (May 31, 2006) to September 30, 2011.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

FASC Topic No. 220, “Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. From inception (May 31, 2006) to September 30, 2011, our company had no items of other comprehensive income. Therefore, net loss equals comprehensive loss from inception (May 31, 2006) to September 30, 2011.

Risks and Uncertainties

Our company operates in the resource exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with operating a resource exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.

Environmental Expenditures

The operations of our company have been, and may in the future be, affected from time to time in varying degree by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon our company vary greatly and are not predictable. Our company's policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. All of these types of expenditures incurred since inception have been charged against earnings due to the uncertainty of their future recoverability. Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.
