NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022
AND FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2022
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Accounting
Basis of Presentation and Organization
Guskin Gold Corp. (fka Inspired Builders, Inc.) (the “Company”,”Guskin”, “We”, and “Us”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada in February 2010. Until August 15, 2017, the Company was directing its focus on acquiring, investing in, developing and managing real estate properties and related investments. On August 15, 2017, pursuant to a change in control transaction, we relocated to Miami, Florida and ceased all operations as a real estate company.
On January 16, 2020, Santa Alba, LLC sold the 956,440 shares of common stock to Custodian Ventures, LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $145,000. At this point there was a change of control of the Company and Kai Ming Zhao resigned as President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director and David Lazar was appointed as President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director.
On April 30, 2020, Custodian Ventures, LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“CVL”) and the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with U Green Enterprise, a Ghana corporation (the “Purchaser”). The Agreement closed upon execution on April 30, 2020 (“Closing”). Pursuant to the Agreement, CVL agreed to sell and Purchaser agreed to purchase 956,440 restricted common stock shares of the Company (the “Shares”), representing approximately 94.6% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. Pursuant to the Agreement, Purchaser agreed to pay CVL as follows: (i) $157,640 payable at the Closing in exchange for the Shares, and (ii) to repay the note outstanding to CVL in amount of $67,360 immediately following the Closing. The Agreement resulted in a change of control of the Company and David Lazar resigned effective immediately as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer and sole director and Edward Somuah was appointed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary, Treasurer and sole director.
Guskin Gold Corporation (“GGC”) was incorporated in May 28, 2020 in the state of Nevada. GGC’s business activity is the early-stage development of a business focusing on the acquisition of gold properties, and the exploration and potential development of small-scale gold mining operations in the Republic of Ghana, West Africa.
On September 3, 2020, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with GGC, and the controlling stockholders of GGC (the “GGC Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired One Hundred Percent (100%) the issued and outstanding equity interest of GGC from the GGC Shareholders (the “GGC Shares”) and in exchange the Company issued to GGC an aggregate of Twenty-Eight Million Two Hundred Thousand (28,200,000) shares of restricted common stock of the Company.
The Share Exchange is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization under U.S. GAAP as the Share Exchange results in a change of control of the Company. GGC was determined to be the accounting acquirer based upon the terms of the Share Exchange and other factors including: (i) GGC’s shareholders are expected to own approximately 96.54% of the Company issued and outstanding common stock immediately following the effective time of the Share Exchange (the “Closing”), and (ii) GGC’s management will hold all key positions in the management of the combined company.

Note 2 - Summary of significant accounting policies
Principles of Consolidation
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, GGC and Guskin Gold Ghana #1 Limited from June 02, 2021, inception date. All intercompany accounts, balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation as at December 31, 2022.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting within the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. There were cash equivalents of $58,153 at December 31, 2022 and $12,710 cash equivalents at September 30, 2022.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
In accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share,” basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $216,256 in convertible debt which if exercised would convert into 45,662,317 and as of September 30, 2022, and $134,732 in convertible debt which if exercised would convert into 32,900,000 shares of common stock.
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. Significant estimates include the assumptions used in valuation of equity-based transactions, valuation of derivative liabilities and valuation of deferred taxes.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue under Accounts Standard Codification (“ASC”) ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts. ASC 606 creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes (1) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, (2) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, (3) determining the transaction price, (4) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (5) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients.
The Company has only recently changed its business focus to its current business of exploration, development, production, and export of gold in Ghana, and to smartly find, build, and operate profitable gold and precious metal properties. Consequently, we have only limited operating history and an unproven business strategy, no current properties and prospects that have yet to be developed. As such, no revenue has been recognized to date.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
We review and evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Asset impairment is considered to exist if the total estimated undiscounted pretax future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. An impairment loss is measured by discounted estimated future cash flows and recorded by reducing the asset’s carrying amount to fair value. Future cash flows are estimated based on estimated quantities of recoverable minerals, expected gold prices (considering current and historical prices, trends, and related factors), production levels, operating costs, capital requirements and reclamation costs, all based on life-of-mine plans.

Table of Contents |
Existing proven and probable reserves and value beyond proven and probable reserves, including mineralization other than proven and probable reserves are included when determining the fair value of mine site asset groups at acquisition and, subsequently, in determining whether the assets are impaired. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of gold, silver, lead, and zinc that will be obtained after taking into account losses during ore processing and treatment. Estimates of recoverable minerals from exploration stage mineral interests are risk adjusted based on management’s relative confidence in such materials. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable minerals from exploration stage mineral interests involves further risks in addition to those risk 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 could ultimately be mined economically. Assets classified as exploration potential have the highest level of risk that the carrying value of the asset can be ultimately realized, due to the still lower level of geological confidence and economic modeling.
Gold prices are volatile and affected by many factors beyond the Company’s control, including prevailing interest rates and returns on other asset classes, expectations regarding inflation, speculation, currency values, governmental decisions regarding precious metals stockpiles, global and regional demand and production, political and economic conditions and other factors may affect the key assumptions used in the Company’s impairment testing. Various factors could impact our ability to achieve forecasted production levels from proven and probable reserves. Additionally, production, capital and reclamation costs could differ from the assumptions used in the cash flow models used to assess impairment. Actual results may vary from the Company’s estimates and result in additional Impairment of Long-lived Assets.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 addresses all forms of share-based payment awards including shares issued under employee stock purchase plans and stock incentive shares. Under ASC 718 awards result in a cost that is measured at fair value on the awards’ grant date, based on the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest and will result in a charge to operations.
Derivative Instrument Liability
The Company accounts for derivative instruments in accordance with ASC 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other financial instruments or contracts and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of hedging relationship designation. Accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedging relationships and the types of relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. At December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, the Company had a derivative liability of $3,113,998 and $3,296,143, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not or in management’s opinion will not have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 - Reverse Merger
On September 03, 2020, the Company and its controlling stockholders entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange”) with GGC and the shareholders of GGC. GGC’ current plan of operation consists of identifying, assessing and vetting various gold and mineral properties, specifically focusing on gold properties and the exploration and potential development of small-scale gold mining operations in the Republic of Ghana, West Africa.
At the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Share Exchange (the “Closing”), in exchange for 28,200,000 shares of GGC’ common stock which represents 100% of the currently issued and outstanding capital stock of GGC, the Company will issue 28,200,000 newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock to the GGC’ shareholders, representing approximately 96.54% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock of the Company upon Closing. As a result of the Share Exchange, GGC shall become the Company’ wholly owned subsidiary, and the Company shall acquire the business and operations of GGC. The Closing of the Share Exchange is subject to certain conditions, including the approval of the Company’s shareholders. The Share Exchange closed September 22, 2020.
For accounting purposes, GGC is considered to be the acquiring company and the Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization of the Company by GGC because (i) GGC’ shareholders own approximately 96.54% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock immediately following the effective time of the Share Exchange, and (ii) GGC’ management holds all key positions in the management of the combined company following the Closing. Under reverse recapitalization accounting, the assets and liabilities of the Company are recorded, as of the Closing, at their fair value which approximates its book value because of the short-term nature of the instruments. No goodwill or intangible assets were recognized. Consequently, the financial statements of GGC reflect the operations of the acquirer for accounting purposes together with a deemed issuance of shares, equivalent to the shares held by the former stockholders of the legal acquirer and a recapitalization of the equity of the accounting acquirer.

Note 4 - Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has net income of $101,680 and $ 2,867,579 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. In addition, the Company has accumulated deficit of $6,447,590 and $6,549,269 and working capital deficit of $4,678,172 and $4,802,191 as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and is dependent on debt and equity financing to fund its operations. Management of the Company is making efforts to raise additional funding. While management of the Company believes that it will be successful in its capital formation and planned operating activities, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional equity capital or be successful in the development and commercialization of the products it develops or initiates collaboration agreements thereon. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Note 5 - Investment in mineral rights
On June 10, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company ratified entry into a Joint Venture & Partnership Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Africa Exploration & Minerals Group Limited, a company incorporated in Ghana (the “AEMG”), dated June 1, 2021, Additionally, AEMG granted to the Company an exclusive option to earn and acquire up to a 50% ownership interest in certain project, properties and concession located in the Country of Ghana in which AEMG has an interest (the “Ghana Option Interest”). The initial project that the Parties shall endeavor to undertake pursuant to the Partnership is approximately 1 square km or 247 acres of land, (which is approximately 61.75 Ghana acers) of the Shewn Edged Pink Concession (the “Concession”). The Parties intend this to be an unincorporated contractual joint venture in respect of the exploration, development, exploitation, and operation of the Concession. The Company has formed a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Ghana and duly authorized to conduct business in precious metals and in mining activities in Ghana named Guskin Gold Ghana #1 Limited. All operations relating to the Concession will be undertaken by Guskin Gold Ghana #1 Limited. The Company, through Guskin Gold Ghana #1 Limited now holds 25% non-controlling interest of the Shewn Edged Pink Concession. The JV is considered as an unincorporated legal entity for accounting purposes, in accordance with ASC 323, therefore the Company has elected to account for all activity related to the JV under proportional consolidation of the results of operations. The Company issued 250,000 restricted common shares the Company’s common stock, at a per share valuation of $0.0217 per share (the “Shares”) for a total fair value of $5,426. There are no proven mineral reserves on the Shewn Edged Pink Concession as of September 30, 2021. During the three Months ended December 31, 2021 and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, Guskin Gold advanced a total of $14,000 and $67,500 to AEMG, respectively. Management evaluated the investment in mineral rights annually for impairment and determined that the total amount capitalized was impaired. An impairment loss totaling $14,000 and $81,923 was recorded during three months ended December 31, 2021 and for the fiscal the year ended September 30, 2021, respectively.
In the beginning of November 2021, Company management, while visiting our operations in Ghana, noticed various accounting discrepancies and expenses irregularities relating to AEMG’s activities at the Concession. Additionally, during this time the Company was informed that, on information and belief, AEMG was not the rightful owner of the Concession and in fact had no legal right to enter the Partnership with the Company. Thereafter, the Company met with AEMG on several occasions seeking to resolve these matters in a manner that would be mutually agreeable to both parties. All attempts, as of the date of this report, to resolve the dispute amicably have been unsuccessful. The Company has retained Ghanaian counsel to represent and protect its interests relating to the disputed funds and our ongoing operation in Ghana. Also, on advice of counsel, the Company has turned all evidence of the foregoing over to the proper authorities and currently the matter is under review by the lead prosecutors in Accra, Ghana.

Note 10 - Commitment and Contingencies
In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, and it continues to spread throughout the United States and the rest of the world with different geographical locations impacted more than others. The outbreak of COVID-19 and public and private sector measures to reduce its transmission, such as the imposition of social distancing and orders to work-from-home, stay-at-home and shelter-in-place, have had a minimal impact on our day to day operations. However, this could impact our efforts to enter into a business combination as other businesses have had to adjust, reduce or suspend their operating activities. The extent of the impact will vary depending on the duration and severity of the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate impact at this time.
On June 1, 2020, (the “commencement date”) the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Dr. Kweku Ainuson to provide consulting services on as needed basis. The consultant shall be responsible for advising the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Geologist, and Chairman of the Board of Directors on all legal matters of the Company. In addition, the consultant is to provide legal advice on areas including but not limited to business contracts or any other legal documentation that requires legal expertise; assisting in the management of internal and external legal resources; reading and reviewing legal documents that the Client receives and making sure that they are properly drafted and any other legal services. As compensation for the services provided by Consultant, the Consultant should vest 50,000 shares common shares valued at $0.001 every quarter for total compensation value of 200,000 shares. In addition, every 90 days, from the commencement date, the company shall pay the consultant $5,000 plus additional fees per quarter. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021, a total of $15,000 in cash has been paid to Mr. Anuison. As of September 30, 2021, a total of $5,000 in cash compensation and 200,000 shares valued at $253,500 in stock based compensation is owed to Mr. Anuison.
On August 31, 2020, (the “commencement date”) the Company entered into a three-month term consulting agreement to provide consulting services on as needed basis. The consultant shall be responsible to perform business development and general consulting services on a non -exclusive basis for and on behalf of the Client in relation to business development, developing and creating operation documents, and will consult with and advise, as necessary and requested, The Client on matters pertaining to its general business operations. As compensation for the services provided by Consultant, the company shall pay the consultant $7,500 in month one, $2,500 in month two and $2,500 in month three. On December 15, 2020, the Company amended the consulting contract for an additional six months from the amendment date. As compensation for the services provided, the Company shall pay the consultant $2,500 per month.
On January 12, 2021, the Company, entered into a Consulting Agreement with Edward Somuah, (“Mr. Somuah”) an individual, to memorialize and formalize Mr. Somuah’s commitment and services to the Company. Mr. Somuah was a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), and Secretary. The Company paid Mr. Somuah a monthly salary in the total amount $4,500 per month. Additionally, on January 11, 2021, the Company issued 13,000,000 shares of restricted common stock for services valued at $2,340,000 to Edward Somuah as compensation for services rendered. On July 13, 2021, Edward Somuah, the Company’s current Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), resigned from his position as CFO and Treasurer. Upon resignment, Mr. Somuah will no longer receive a monthly salary of $4,500 per month.
On June 10, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company ratified entry into a Joint Venture & Partnership Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Africa Exploration & Minerals Group Limited, a company incorporated in Ghana (the “AEMG”), dated June 1, 2021, which sets forth the terms and conditions of a joint venture and partnership (the “Partnership”) between AEMG and the Company relating to precious metal, minerals and mining exploration activities in the Country of Ghana. Additionally, AEMG granted to the Company an exclusive option to earn and acquire up to a 50% ownership interest in certain project, properties and concession located in the Country of Ghana in which AEMG has an interest (the “Ghana Option Interest”). The initial project that the Parties shall endeavor to undertake pursuant to the Partnership is approximately 1 square km or 247 acres of land, (which is approximately 61.75 Ghana acers) of the Shewn Edged Pink Concession (the “Concession”). The Parties intend this to be an unincorporated contractual joint venture in respect of the exploration, development, exploitation and operation of the Concession. Each additional project relating to the Ghana Option Interest, and agreed to be made part of, and undertaken by the Partnership, shall be governed by individual “Operating Agreements” setting forth the terms and conditions relating to each project specifically.

Additionally, during this time the Company was informed that, on information and belief, AEMG was not the rightful owner of the Concession and in fact had no legal right to enter the Partnership with the Company. Thereafter, the Company met with AEMG on several occasions seeking to resolve these matters in a manner that would be mutually agreeable to both parties. All attempts, as of the date of this report, to resolve the dispute amicably have been unsuccessful. The Company has retained Ghanaian counsel to represent and protect its interests relating to the disputed funds and our ongoing operation in Ghana. Also, on advice of counsel, the Company has turned all evidence of the foregoing over to the proper authorities and currently the matter is under review by the lead prosecutors in Accra, Ghana.

Overview
On September 22, 2020, Inspired Builders, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Guskin Gold Corporation, a Nevada limited liability company (“GGC”), and the controlling stockholders of GGC (the “GGC Shareholders”).

As a result of the acquisition, we acquired all of the business operations and will continue the existing business operations of GGC as a wholly-owned subsidiary of our publicly-traded company.
As the result of this acquisition and the change in business and operations of the Company, a discussion of the past financial results of the Company is not pertinent, and under applicable accounting principles the historical financial results of GGC, the accounting acquirer, prior to the acquisition are considered the historical financial results of the Company.
The Company’s fiscal year end is September 30.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a pandemic, and it continues to spread throughout the United States and the rest of the world with different geographical locations impacted more than others. The outbreak of COVID-19 and public and private sector measures to reduce its transmission, such as the imposition of social distancing and orders to work-from-home, stay-at-home and shelter-in-place, have had a minimal impact on our day to day operations. However, this could impact our efforts to enter into a business combination as other businesses have had to adjust, reduce or suspend their operating activities. The extent of the impact will vary depending on the duration and severity of the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate impact at this time.
The following discussion highlights GGC’s results of operations and the principal factors that have affected its financial condition as well as its liquidity and capital resources for the periods described and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the statements of financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis are based on the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements contained in this report, which were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company has not had revenues since its inception and to date, has relied on the support of its Chief Executive Officer and majority shareholder. A withdrawal of this support, for any reason, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and its operations. If the Company does not begin to generate revenue or raise additional funds through a financing, the Company may need to incur additional liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence. There are currently no plans or agreements in place to provide such funding. The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and generate revenue. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm has included its audit report to the audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2022 stating substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The COVID-19 pandemic could have an impact on our ability to obtain financing to fund the operations. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate impact at this time.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act of 1934.

On June 10, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company ratified entry into a Joint Venture & Partnership Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) with Africa Exploration & Minerals Group Limited, a company incorporated in Ghana (the “AEMG”), dated June 1, 2021, which sets forth the terms and conditions of a joint venture and partnership (the “Partnership”) between AEMG and the Company relating to precious metal, minerals and mining exploration activities in the Country of Ghana. Additionally, AEMG granted to the Company an exclusive option to earn and acquire up to a 50% ownership interest in certain project, properties and concession located in the Country of Ghana in which AEMG has an interest (the “Ghana Option Interest”). The initial project that the Parties shall endeavor to undertake pursuant to the Partnership is approximately 1 square km or 247 acres of land, (which is approximately 61.75 Ghana acers) of the Shewn Edged Pink Concession (the “Concession”). The Parties intend this to be an unincorporated contractual joint venture in respect of the exploration, development, exploitation and operation of the Concession. Each additional project relating to the Ghana Option Interest, and agreed to be made part of, and undertaken by the Partnership, shall be governed by individual “Operating Agreements” setting forth the terms and conditions relating to each project specifically.
The Company has formed a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Ghana and duly authorized to conduct business in precious metals and in mining activities in Ghana named Guskin Gold Ghana #1 Limited. All operations relating to the Concession will be undertaken by Guskin Gold Ghana #1 Limited.
As consideration for the Partnership and the Ghana Option Interest, the Company shall advance to AEMG, or other parties as directed by AEMG, and as mutually agreed to by the Parties, a financing (“Financing”) in the aggregate of Five Hundred Thousand ($500,000) dollars, to be remitted in accordance with a work program and budget. Such funds advanced as part of the Financing shall not be considered a capital contribution relating to the operations of the Partnership but shall be a debt due from the operations of the Partnership to the Company which shall be repaid from proceeds derived from operations, or upon the dissolution and liquidation of the operation. Additionally, the Company shall issue an aggregate 2,000,000 restricted common shares the Company’s common stock, at a per share valuation to be determined based on separate performance obligations (the “Shares”). Such Shares shall be earned and issued based on reaching and completion of certain milestones, which are fully set forth in the JV Agreement and Operating Agreement. In accordance with the JV Agreement, AEMG received approximately 250,000 shares of restricted common stock valued at $0.0217 per share for a total fair value of $5,426 were issued to AEMG. In the beginning of November 2021, Company management, while visiting our operations in Ghana, noticed various accounting discrepancies and expenses irregularities relating to AEMG’s activities at the Concession. Additionally, during this time the Company was informed that, on information and belief, AEMG was not the rightful owner of the Concession and in fact had no legal right to enter the Partnership with the Company. Thereafter, the Company met with AEMG on several occasions seeking to resolve these matters in a manner that would be mutually agreeable to both parties. All attempts, as of the date of this report, to resolve the dispute amicably have been unsuccessful. The Company has retained Ghanaian counsel to represent and protect its interests relating to the disputed funds and our ongoing operation in Ghana. Also, on advice of counsel, the Company has turned all evidence of the foregoing over to the proper authorities and currently the matter is under review by the lead prosecutors in Accra, Ghana.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s CEO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2022 due to the Company’s limited internal resources and lack of ability to have segregation of duties and multiple levels of transaction review.
Management is in the process of determining how best to change our current system and implement a more effective system to insure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act have been recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately. Our management intends to develop procedures to address the current deficiencies to the extent possible given limitations in financial and manpower resources. While management is working on a plan, no assurance can be made at this point that the implementation of such controls and procedures will be completed in a timely manner or that they will be adequate once implemented.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
