CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the sections entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business,” contains “forward-looking statements” that include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment, regulation and availability of resources. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding: proposed new products or services; our statements concerning litigation or other matters; statements concerning projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts for our business, financial and operating results and future economic performance; statements of management’s goals and objectives; trends affecting our financial condition, results of operations or future prospects; our financing plans or growth strategies; and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and “estimates,” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by which, that performance or those results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time they are made and/or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause these differences include, but are not limited to:


	·	our inability to raise additional funds to support operations and capital expenditures;


	·	our inability to successfully compete against existing and future competitors;


	·	our inability to manage and maintain the growth of our business;


	·	other factors discussed under the headings “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business.”

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.


ITEM 1.	BUSINESS

With respect to this discussion, the terms “we” “us” “our” and the “Company” refer to Joshua Gold Resources Inc., a Nevada corporation.

(a) Corporate History and Background.

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 10, 2009 under the name “ABC Acquisition Corp 1501.” Prior to the Stock Purchase transaction described below, our business purpose was to seek the acquisition of or merger with, an existing private company. Accordingly, we were engaged in organizational efforts in order to put us in a position where we could seek to target and eventually acquire an existing private company.

On June 4, 2010, Ben Fuschino, our sole officer and director at that time, sold his 35,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which shares represented 100% of our issued and outstanding common stock, to Luc Duchesne and Robert Cormier for a total purchase price of $7,000 (the “Stock Purchase”). Upon closing of the Stock Purchase, (i) Mr. Duchesne and Mr. Cormier held a controlling 100% ownership in the Company, (ii) we changed our business and became a start-up carbon measuring company and (iii) we changed our name to “Bio-Carbon Systems International Inc.” to better reflect our new business enterprise.

Immediately after the closing of the Stock Purchase, on June 4, 2010, we entered into a license agreement (the “Cormier License”) with R&B Cormier Enterprises Inc. (“Cormier Enterprises”), an Ontario corporation and a license agreement (the “GSN License”) with GSN Dreamworks, Inc., an Ontario corporation (“GSN”). The Cormier License and GSN License (collectively, the “License Agreements”) granted the Company licensed intellectual property and technology

to conduct airborne and other surveys of forested lands in areas that are difficult to access. Those surveys would have been conducted in a statistically verifiable process designed for use in carbon trading programs to assess the potential value of the surveyed lands as carbon sequestration land parcels in carbon trading, carbon sequestration, and other greenhouse gas emission control, offset and reduction programs.

Also, on June 4, 2010, the Company entered into consulting agreements (collectively, the “Consulting Agreements”) with Mr. Duchesne and Mr. Cormier, pursuant to which Mr. Duchesne and Mr. Cormier agreed to provide the Company with management and advisory services with respect to the intellectual property licensed to the Company under the Cormier and GSN Licenses.

On December 23, 2010, the Company elected to terminate the License Agreements and Consulting Agreements as the Company determined that conditions were not in place for the successful exploitation of the technology covered by the License Agreements. The termination did not given rise to any penalties against the Company as the termination was concluded through a mutual agreement of separation.

Upon termination of the aforementioned License and Consulting Agreements, the Company abandoned the carbon measuring business and became a mineral exploration company located in Oakville, Ontario, Canada through the acquisition of a mineral rights lease and other mineral properties, as described in further detail below. The Company’s principal business activity now is the exploration of mineral property interests. The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage and substantially all of the Company’s efforts are devoted to exploring mineral property interests. There has been no determination whether the Company’s interests in unproven mineral properties contain mineral reserves which are economically recoverable.

On February 1, 2016, the Company registered articles of amendment with the state of Nevada changing the name of the Company from “Joshua Gold Resources Inc.” to “Enhanced Energy Solutions Corp.”

On October 18, 2016, the Company registered articles of amendment with the state of Nevada changing the name of the Company from “Enhanced Energy Solutions Corp.” back to “Joshua Gold Resources Inc.”

The Company does not have any current plans, arrangements, discussions or intentions, whether written or oral, to engage in a merger or acquisition with an identified or unidentified company or person to be used as a vehicle for a private company to become a reporting company.

We are a development stage company and currently have no revenues. At December 31, 2019, our total current assets were $53,103 and our total current liabilities were $1,167,126. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019, was $2,027,604.


(b)	Business of Issuer.

Business Overview

We intend to devote substantially all of our efforts on establishing our business plan and continuing to grow our operations in the mineral exploration sector. We do not have sufficient capital to operate our business and will require additional funding to sustain operations through December 2020. There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve revenues sufficient to become profitable. Our internet address is www.joshuagoldresources.com.

Employees

As of February 20, 2020, we had no full-time employees and two part-time employees. We expect no significant changes in the number of our employees in the next twelve (12) months.

Competition

We are an exploration stage mineral resource exploration company that competes with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing and for the acquisition of mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford more geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could adversely impact our ability to achieve the financing necessary for us to acquire mineral property interests and conduct exploration activities.

We will also compete with other mineral exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in mineral exploration companies. The presence of competing mineral exploration companies may adversely impact on our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our exploration programs if investors are of the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment offered to investors.

Government Regulation and Standards

There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict the exploration for minerals and the extraction of minerals and any related mining activities in Canada and in the Northwest Territories. The Company will be subject to the mining laws and regulations in force in Canada and in the Northwest Territories (as well as any other jurisdiction wherein a future-acquired property is located). In order to comply with applicable regulations, the Company may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to land.

Additionally, the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act signed into law in July of 2010, includes a requirement for certain companies using “conflict minerals” in the manufacturing of, or contracting to manufacture, products to publicly disclose the source of the conflict mineral. The conflict mineral list currently includes columbite-tantalite, cassiterite, wolframite, and gold mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo and several surrounding central African countries. These companies reporting obligations began with the 2013 calendar year, with the initial reports due in May 2014. The Company currently has no business operations, nor intent to engage in business development activity, within the covered region. The Company is currently focused on development of mineral properties primarily in Canada. However, the Company may incur costs related to its future customers’ compliance with the law, including, but not limited to: (i) assist future mineral purchase customers by creating and maintaining adequate chain of custody records relating to minerals mined by the Company to establish that they are not conflict minerals, and (ii) provide information to customers for their own conflict mineral reports and audits.

As a general matter, management of the Company will attempt to ensure that all budgets for exploration programs include a contingency for regulatory compliance.

Emerging Growth Company

We are and we will remain an "emerging growth company" as defined under The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which our total annual revenues equal or exceed $1 billion (subject to adjustment for inflation), (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering, (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities, or (iv) the date on which we are deemed a "large accelerated filer" (with at least $700 million in public float) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

As an "emerging growth company", we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” disclosure;

reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

no requirement that we hold non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

We have taken advantage of some of these reduced burdens, and thus the information we provide stockholders may be different from what you might receive from other public companies in which you hold shares.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. However, we are choosing to “opt out” of such extended transition period, and as a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that our decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.

Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $75 million and annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company”, at such time as we cease being an “emerging growth company”, the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company”. Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies”, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (“SOX”) requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports.


ITEM 1A.	RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following known material risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this prospectus in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing shares of our company's common stock. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY

Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 were prepared assuming that we will continue our operations as a going concern. We were incorporated on July 10, 2009, and do not have a history of earnings. As a result, our independent accountants in their audit report have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Continued operations are dependent on our ability to complete equity or debt financings or generate profitable operations. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

There is uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern, indicating the possibility that we may be required to curtail or discontinue our operations in the future. If we discontinue our operations, you may lose all of your investment.

We have an accumulated deficit of $(13,967,606) from our inception on July 10, 2009 to December 31, 2019 and have completed only the preliminary exploration stages of our business plan. We anticipate incurring additional losses before realizing any revenues and will depend on additional financing in order to meet our continuing obligations and ultimately, to attain profitability. We anticipate that our current cash assets will be extinguished by December 31, 2020. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the uncertainty about our ability to continue our business. If we are unable to obtain additional financing from outside sources and eventually produce enough revenues, we may be forced to sell our assets, or curtail or discontinue our operations. If this happens, you could lose all or part of your investment.

We are in an early stage of development. If we are not able to develop out business as anticipated, we may not be able to generate revenues or achieve profitability and you may lose your investment.

We have no production, no customers, and we have not earned any revenues to date. Our business prospects are difficult to predict because of our limited operating history, early stage of development, and unproven business strategy. Our primary business activities will be focused on exploration of the mining interests. Although we believe that our business

plan has significant profit potential, we may not attain profitable operations and our management may not succeed in realizing our business objectives. If we are not able to develop out business as anticipated, we may not be able to generate revenues or achieve profitability and you may lose your investment.

We expect to suffer losses in the immediate future that may cause us to curtail or discontinue our operations.

We expect to incur operating losses in future periods. These losses will occur because we do not yet have any revenues to offset the expenses associated with the development of mining properties, and our business operations, generally. We cannot guarantee that we will ever be successful in generating revenues in the future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate revenues, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will almost certainly fail.

We may not be able to execute our business plan or stay in business without additional funding.

Our ability to generate future operating revenues depends in part on whether we can obtain the financing necessary to implement our business plan. We will likely require additional financing through the issuance of debt and/or equity in order to establish profitable operations, and such financing may not be forthcoming. If such conditions and constraints continue or if there is no investor appetite to finance our business, we may not be able to acquire additional financing through credit markets or equity markets. Even if additional financing is available, it may not be available on terms favorable to us. At this time, we have not identified or secured sources of additional financing. Our failure to secure additional financing when it becomes required will have an adverse effect on our ability to remain in business.

The loss of the services of Benedetto Fuschino, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Dino Micacchi Chief Financial Officer, or our failure to timely identify and retain competent personnel could negatively impact our ability to develop our properties.

The development of our business will continue to place a significant strain on our limited personnel, management, and other resources. Our future success depends upon the continued services of our executive officers who are developing our business, and on our ability to identify and retain competent consultants and employees with the skills required to execute our business objectives. The loss of the services of Benedetto Fuschino, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Dino Micacchi, our Secretary-Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, or our failure to timely identify and retain competent personnel could negatively impact our ability to develop our website and sell our services, which could adversely affect our financial results and impair our growth.

We are a mineral exploration business in the development stage, with no experience in the market, and failure to successfully compensate for this inexperience may adversely impact our operations and financial position.

By industry standards, there are generally four types of mining companies. We are considered an “exploration stage” company. Typically, an exploration stage mining company is focused on exploration to identify new, commercially viable gold deposits. “Junior mining companies” typically have proven and probable reserves of less than one million ounces of gold, generally produce less than 100,000 ounces of gold annually, and/or are in the process of trying to raise enough capital to fund the remainder of the steps required to move from a staked claim to production. “Mid-tier” and large mining “senior” companies may have several projects in production plus several million ounces of gold in reserve.

As a mineral exploration business in a highly competitive industry, we have little operating history, few substantial tangible assets, no customer base and no revenue to date. This makes it difficult to evaluate our future performance and prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, delays and difficulties frequently encountered in establishing a business in an industry characterized by intense competition, including:


·	our business model and strategy are still evolving and are continually being reviewed and revised;
·	we may not be able to raise the capital required to develop our business plan;
·	we may not be able to successfully implement our business model and strategy; and
·	our management consists of two people: Benedetto Fuschino who serves as our Chief Executive Officer, President and Director, and Dino Micacchi who serves as our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary-Treasurer and Director.

We cannot be sure that we will be successful in meeting these challenges and addressing these risks and uncertainties. If we are unable to do so, our business will not be successful and the value of your investment in our company will decline.

Our failure to protect our mineral property rights may significantly impair our competitive advantage.

Our success and ability to compete depend in large part upon protecting our mineral property rights. We rely on a combination of fund raising deferred financing to protect our property rights. The steps we have taken may not be sufficient to prevent the expiration of these rights.

We may face costly claims against our mineral property rights, the result of which would decrease the amount of cash we would anticipate to operate and complete our business plan.

We anticipate that from time to time we could receive communications from third parties asserting that they have certain property rights. If anticipated claims arise, we will evaluate their merits. Any claims brought by third parties could result in protracted and costly litigation, which could result in substantial cost to us and diversion of our resources, may be necessary to enforce our property rights or to defend us against claims by others. Any litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We incur costs associated with SEC reporting compliance, which may significantly affect our financial condition.

The Company made the decision to become an SEC "reporting company" in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations. We incur certain costs of compliance with applicable SEC reporting rules and regulations including, but not limited to attorneys' fees, accounting and auditing fees, other professional fees, financial printing costs and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs in an amount estimated at approximately $45,000 per year. On balance, the Company determined that the incurrence of such costs and expenses was preferable to the Company being in a position where it had very limited access to additional capital funding.

The nature of mineral exploration and production activities involves a high degree of risk and the possibility of uninsured losses that could materially and adversely affect our operations.

Exploration for minerals is highly speculative and involves greater risk than many other businesses. Many exploration programs do not result in the discovery of mineralization and any mineralization discovered may not be of sufficient quantity or quality to be profitably mined. Few properties that are explored are ultimately advanced to the stage of producing mines. Our future exploration efforts will be subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incident to exploring for and developing mineral properties, including, but not limited to:


	·	Economically insufficient mineralized material;
	·	Fluctuations in production costs that may make mining uneconomical;
	·	Labor disputes;
	·	Unanticipated variations in grade and other geologic problems;
	·	Environmental hazards;
	·	Water conditions;
	·	Troublesome surface or underground conditions;
	·	Industrial accidents;
	·	Metallurgical and other processing problems;
	·	Mechanical and equipment performance problems;
	·	Failure of pit walls or dams;
	·	Unusual or unexpected rock formations;
	·	Personal injury, fire, flooding, cave-ins, and landslides; and
	·	Decrease in reserves due to a lower gold price.

Any of these risks can materially and adversely affect, among other things, the development of mineral properties, production quantities and rates, costs and expenditures, and production commencement dates. We currently have no insurance to guard against any of these risks. If we determine that capitalized costs associated with any of our mineral interests are not likely to be recovered, we would incur a write-down of our investment in these interests. All of these factors may result in losses proportionate to amounts spent, which may not be recoverable.

The potential profitability of mineral ventures depends in part upon factors beyond our control and even if we discover and exploit mineral deposits, we may never become commercially viable and we may be forced to cease operations.

The commercial feasibility of mineral properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control, including the existence and size of mineral deposits in the properties we explore, the proximity and capacity of processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production, and environmental regulation. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and any one or more of these factors may result in our Company not receiving an

adequate return on invested capital. These factors may have material and negative effects on our financial performance and our ability to continue operations.

Mineral exploration and development 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.

Mineral exploration and development activities are subject to various laws, regulations and policies governing prospecting, mine development, mineral production, removal and transport of natural resources, as well as discharge of materials into the environment. Mining activities are also subject to various regulations regarding taxation, import and export, labor standards, occupational health standards, safety standards, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, water use, environmental protection, and other matters.

Permits from various foreign, federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities are required for mining operations to be conducted, and no assurance can be given that such permits will be successfully obtained. Environmental and other legal standards imposed by governmental authorities may be changed, and any such change may prevent us from conducting planned activities, or increase our costs of doing so, which could have material adverse effects on our business. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on our business operations. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages, which we may not be able to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other financial and practical considerations. Any laws, regulations, or policies of any government body or regulatory agency may be changed, applied, or interpreted in a manner which will alter and negatively affect our ability to carry on our business. We cannot assure you that new rules and regulations will not be enacted, or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail our exploration or development activities on our properties.

We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities, but there can be no assurance that we can continue to remain in compliance. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable terms. To the extent such necessary approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral properties.

The lack of an established trading market for our common stock will limit the ability of our stockholders to liquidate their investment.

Our common stock has been quoted on the OTC Pink market only since August 2019. There is currently a very limited public market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance that a significant trading market will ever develop or that, if developed, it will be sustained. Consequently, holders of our common stock may find it difficult to resell their securities at the times and in the amounts that they desire.

We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 400,000,000 shares of common stock. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by our directors. Accordingly, our directors are empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.

Our common shares may be subject to the “Penny Stock” Rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.

Under U.S. federal securities legislation, our common stock will likely constitute "penny stock” since quoted on the OTC Pink market. Penny stock is any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a potential investor's account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve an investor's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination. Brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Because we do not presently intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

For the indefinite future, we intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

The recent COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak and related government, private sector, and individual consumer responsive actions may adversely affect our business operations, financial condition, liquidity, and cash flow.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus disease has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and continues to spread in the United States, Canada, and in many other countries globally. Related government and private sector responsive actions may adversely affect our business operations. It is impossible to predict the effect and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as the situation is rapidly evolving. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact.

Additional Description of the Properties

Joshua Gold holds an interest in five mineral properties in Canada. All the properties are in Northern Ontario, except for the Carson property which is located in the Northwest Territories. It should be noted that three of the properties, the C-1, the Rollo, and the Kenty are all contiguous but differ in ownership by the Company. In 2019, the mineral rights to the Rollo property expired and were not renewed. They are collectively referred to as the Swayze Area properties and share similar access, locations, and regional geology. However, detailed descriptions for historical exploration work and property geology are given.

Background Information Concerning Properties Located in the Canadian Province of Ontario: Janes, Asquith, C1 Mortimer, Chewett, King Solomon Mines and Kenty

Upon recording of the mineral claims with the provincial Mining Recorder’s Office, the claims will remain in good standing for a period of two years. The claims can be renewed by performing the minimum specified assessment work within 2 years of the recording date for the claim.

Modernizing of the Mining Act in the Province of Ontario

The Ontario Ministry of Mines and Development (the “MNDM”) has modernized the Mining Act, moving Ontario’s mining lands administration systems from ground staking and paper map staking to online registration of mining claims; and creating an online Mining Land Administration System (“MLAS”) that enhances client access to Ontario’s mining lands data and improves their ability to manage their files online.

Pre-Conversion Period

Traditional claim staking in Ontario came to an end on January 8, 2018. During this pre-conversion period claim staking will not be permitted, nor will other transactions such as transfers and the filing of assessment work reports. This period will allow MNDM to prepare for conversion as well as for exhaustive testing of the information technology architecture that will underpin MLAS, and provide enough time to enroll and train users on the new system prior to launch.

Types of Mining Claims

At conversion, there will be two claim types:

(a) Cell Claims

As defined in the Mining Act, a cell claim means a mining claim that relates to all of the land included in one or more cells on the provincial grid that is open for mining claim registration. A cell claim is created at conversion where there are one or more legacy claims in a cell, and all are held by the same holder. In this case, if there is more than one legacy claim in a cell, those claims will merge into one cell claim. A cell claim created from conversion can be a minimum of one cell though it can be amalgamated to form a multi-cell claim up to a maximum of 25 cells.

(b) Boundary Claims

As defined in the Mining Act, a boundary claim is created at conversion when there are multiple legacy claims within a cell that cannot merge into a cell claim. There are two circumstances where mining claims will not merge into a cell claim:

1. When the legacy claims are held by different holders;

2. When the legacy claims are held by the same person who chooses to keep them separate by making an election through the Claim Boundary Report process.

Overall note: boundary cell indicates that the mineral rights are still defined by the legacy claim boundaries, of which the maps provided show and are representative of the physical area that the new claim news/cells represent under changes in the Ontario Mining Act.

Jane Property

The Jane Property consists of two (2) legacy claims, converted into 31 cell claims (20 standard and 11 boundary claims). These require annual exploration expenditures of $10,200 CAD per year, accompanied by an industry standard report detailing the work completed. These are due on the claim anniversary dates, which also summarizes the cells that compose each legacy claim. These grant the holder (i.e., the Company),, the sole right to explore for minerals, and to apply for a mining lease for extraction of the minerals. This does not grant any surface rights to the Crown land, nor rights to extract or mine aggregates from the claim areas.

Regional Geology

The Damoti Lake area lies within the Slave Structural Province within the INdin Lake Supracrustal belt. This belt is composed of Archean age metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks of the Yelloknife Supergroup, and is truncated to the west by Archean age plutons and migamtites, and to the east by gneissic basement rocks.The Indin Lake belt form a series of north to northeast trending volcanic assemblages.

The Yellowknife Supergroup is composed of a lower Hewlitt group, a sequence of pillowed mafic tholeiitic basalts intercalated with more rare felsic calc-alkaline volcanics and are older than approximately 2.67 Ga. Overlying the Hewlitt group is Leta Arm group, a sequence of pollowed and massive mafic and felsic flows, and intermediate to felsic volcaniclastic rocks (2.6y Ga). The Chalco Lake group, consisting of conglomerates, sandstone-mudstones, and volcaniclastic rocks (<2.65 Ga). Sediments composed of interbedded agillites, siltstones, and greywacke beds are consistent with turbite deposition. Sedimentary horizons host iron formations of pyrite +/- pyrrhotite, as well as sulphide-bearing argillite units in the eastern area of the Indin Lake area.

Gabbro and quartz-diorite sills in the Indin Lake are thought to be related to volcanic units in the area. Volcanic rocks are intruded by grandodiorite and pegmatites of variable ages. Diabase dykes also cut all units in the Indin Lake area.

Property Geology

The Carson property is underlain by mafic and lesser felsic metavolcanic and subordinate metadsedimentary rocks of the Yellowknife Supergroup. Felsic metavolcanic rocks occur at the metavolcanic-metasedimentary contacts. The 1985 mapping program identified 8 major rock assemblages in the property area, which contacts trending slightly east of north.

To the central area of the property is the Snowden andesite and consists of pillowed, variolitic, porphyritic, and amigoidal flows. Two horizons of mafic volcaniclastic rocks are defined by mafic tuff and matric with felsic clasts which overly the Snowden andesite. A strongly sheared unit is equivalent to this unit but is identified as a mafic agglomerate. The Oti rhyolite occurs to the western side of the property. It is strongly brecciated and sericitized, hosting pyritic argillite are associated with graphitic shear zones within lenses of this unit. The Damoti rhyolite is mapped at the metavolcanic-metasedimentary rock contact, and is a fine grained and tuffaceous unit, with local interbeds of lapilli size fragments.

Yellowknife Supergoup metasediments underly the eastern side of the property, and consist of fine grained greywacke and argillite sequences. This sequence sows graded bedding of a turbidite sequence, and interpretation of top indicators suggests this unit overlies the metavolcanic sequences.

Several felsic porphyritic dykes intrude the property, and can be up to 20 meters in width. Additionally, several steeply dipping diabase dykes intrude the entire property stratigraphy.

Mineralization

Gold mineralization in the Damoti Lake area is characterized by quartz carbonate veins associated with regional scale structural deformation. Shear zones on the property are northeast trending and parallel to the regional tectonic fabric. The Hillop, Chuck vein, and Pond showings all occur in these northeast trending shear zones.

This style of mineralization is consistent with volcanic hosted orogenic lode-gold deposits. Quartz-carbonate veins are typically associated with altered volcanic wall rocks with sillification, pyrite, and chlorite alteration, which can include pyrrhotite and biotite alteration minerals. Trace amounts of chalcopyrite and galena can occur in mafic volcanic hosted shear zones. Gold grades on the property associated with quartz-carbonate veins typically show higher grade gold mineralization over narrow widths from 6 to 60 inches (~2.5 to 23.5 cm). Gold mineralization can also be associated with iron formations in volcanic and sedimentary sequences that are prospective for polymetallic base metal mineralization.

In the property area, shear zones parallel to regional scale deformation zones host auriferous quartz-carbonate veins occur at the Check vein and the Hilltop showing in felsic, intermediate volcanics and sedimentary rocks. Lithological contacts also present a mineralization target for these styles of veins, of which is exemplified by the Pond showing.

Previous Exploration Work

Prospecting and exploration work in the Damoti Lake and Indin Lake areas began in 1938 with the discovery of the Barker (Anne) showing. This discovery lead to the staking and subsequent mapping and prospecting of much of the Indin Lake supracrustal belt by government and invested industry personnel. A number of showings were discovered including Diversiﬁed, North Inca and Colomac, all of which reached an advanced stage of exploration.

Reconnaissance mapping of the lndin Lake belt commenced in 1939 by C5. Lord and J.T. Wilson of the Geological Survey of Canada, and was competed in 1948 (Lord, 1951; Fortier, 1949). Detailed geological examination was then conducted at Chalco Lake (Stanton et al., 1948; Pehrrson and Kerswill, 1997), Ranji Lake (Tremblay et al., 1953; Pehrrson and Kerswill, 1997b), and Ghost Lake (Wright, 1954; Pehrrson and Kerswill, 1997b).

A second round of exploration in the 1970's was focused on volcanic-hosted massive sulphide (VHMS) mineralization. This work resulted in a number of base metal occurrences. During the 1980’s renewed interest in the belt culminated with the development of the Colomac mine and the Cass deposit.

Between 1970 and 1972, Freeport Oil Company explored the belt for base metal mineralization. A 2700 line kilometer airborne electromagnetic and magnetic survey was conducted over ground west of the Damoti Lake area, this survey did identify a conductor on the west shore of Damoti Lake (Klein, 1970).

In 1981, Noranda staked the Betam claims adjacent to the present day Carson property. Geological, geochemical, and geophysical investigation were conducted. Anomalous, but low grade gold values were found in small sulphide-bearing quartz veins in the mafic volcanic rocks and the ground was allowed to lapse (Cluff and Myres, 1982).

In 1985, the Oti claims were staked along the western shore of Damoti Lake by Comaplex Resources International Ltd. and were examined by Placer Development Ltd. A number of low grade showings were discovered by geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys (Pinsent, 1985).

The Geologic Survey of Canada initiated 1:125,000 scale mapping furthered the geological understanding of the area (Frith, 1986; 1993). Detailed examination of the mineralized areas in the Indin Lake area was conducted from 1987 to 1991 (Morgan, 1992). Most recently the Indin belt was examined in the context of structural and sedimentological relationships (Pehrsson and Beaumont - Smith, 1994; Pehrsson and Villeneuve, 1999; Pehrsson, 2002; Pehrsson, 2009).

In 1992, J. Brophy conducted mapping and sampling on BIF Island of Damoti Lake. Prospective results from this sampling lead to the staking the discovery of the Damoti Lake deposit by Covello Bryan and Associates in 1993. Exploration at Damoti Lake has been ongoing through to present day. Puritch and Ewert (2005) present a very thorough summary of exploration on the Damoti Lake iron-formation property.

Exploration has been periodically conducted in the Indin Lake area since the mid 1930’s with the discovery of lode gold in the mafic volcanic rocks that surround the lake. Prospecting of the area around the lake identiﬁed a number of additional gold showings in the volcanic and surrounding sedimentary rocks. In the 1970's, exploration shifted focus to polymetallic base metal targets and lead to the discovery of new occurrences in the Indin Lake belt. The discovery of iron formation-hosted gold at Damoti Lake, and active mining at the Colomac deposit, fueled the exploration effort during the 1990’s. At present, elevated gold prices have renewed staking and exploration interest in the Indin Lake belt.

The earliest organized exploration recorded on the property was conducted by Snowden Yellowknife Mines (Snowden) in 1947. This exploration effort may have lead to the discovery of the Pond. Chuck Vein, and Hilltop showings. These showings remain the most prominent mineral occurrences recognized on the property. Snowden reported trenching and diamond drilling activities on the Pond showing and isolated localities along strike to the northeast. Grades as high as

1.26 oz/t Au over 7 inches in hole 5-18 and 0.55 oz/t Au ever 7 inches in hole 5-16 are reported (Glidden and Burton, 1948). In 1981, Wollex Exploration examined the property through prospecting, mapping, and re—sampling existing trenches.

A total of nine trenches and 35 x-ray diamond drill holes have been completed on the Pond showing. The showing occurs in sheared mafic and felsic volcanic rocks. Drilled gold-bearing intervals show silicacarbonate-pyriteipyrrhoite alteration. One grab sample from Trench 16 assayed 2.66 oz/t.

The Chuck vein showing is a milky white quartz vein hosted in a ten meter wide shear zone. This vein is lesoidal and can be traced discontinuously for 200 meters. A chip sample collected in 1985 assayed 870 ppb Au over 0.5 meters in Trench 2.

The Hilltop showing is a weakly silicified zone in intermediate volcanic rocks. Four trenches have been excavated on the showing. No signiﬁcant gold assays are reported.

The area covering the Chuck Vein showing was originally staked in 1939 by P.A. Schwerdt and restaked in 1945 by Schwerdt again after the Dions claims were allowed to lapse.

In 1946, Snowden acquired the Doins claim and commenced with trenching, stripping, and x-ray diamond drilling. A total of 13 trenches/pits and 43 drill holes totaling 6384.26 feet was completed. Drilling on the Pond Zone encountered visible gold.

Comaplex Resource International Ltd. in 1981 staked the showing area (KIM 1 claim) and Wollex Exploration (Wollex) located and re-sampled the existing trenches in the summer of 1981. The sampling returned some elevated gold values which included 4820 ppb Au from the Chuck vein and 5940 ppb Au from the G—Zone [Pond] (Dickson, 1983).

The KIM 1 claim was allowed to lapse and in 1985 the showing area was re-staked as the BR2 claim by W. Brink. Noranda explored the property in 1985. The showing area was prospected then mapped at a scale of 110,000. The property was chip sampled (92 collected), grab sampled (55 samples) and 63 samples were taken for lithogeochemistry. Sampling on the Pond showing returned signiﬁcant gold values up to 2.66 oz/ton while the Chuck Vein had a chip sample assaying 870 ppb gold. Noranda did not complete any further work on the property. Geophysical surveys were conducted and the property was taken to lease in June of 1993 (Puritch and Ewert, 2005).

Mapping, sampling and geochemical analysis

Wollex prospected and sampled the Carson property in 1981. A number of shear zones were identified on the then called KIM1 claim (owned 100% by Comaplex Resources International Ltd.), the largest of which was the G-Zone (Pond zone as of 1985). The G-zone is described to continue from the claim boundaries for many kilometers in both directions and coincide with the contact of the maﬁc and felsic volcanic rocks (Dickson, 1982).

An analysis error occurred at the lab when processing the 1981 samples (Dickson, 1983). Due to the packaging of the samples, the lab mistakenly assayed several rock chips from the same trench as one sample; therefore some reported results are the averages of several samples over the length of the trench (Dickson, 1982).

Four trenches were sampling at the Pond showing. Gold values are described as erratic with a best result of 0.17 oz/ton Au from an average of two samples (Dickson, 1982).

In 1985, Noranda collected and analyzed 117 chip samples and 30 grab samples for gold across the property. An additional 63 samples were collected for lithogeochemisty and geochemical analysis for gold (Powers, 1986). Chip samples consisted of continuous chisel samples across quartz vein and altered walk rock material.

A total of 20 lithogeochemical samples, eight grab samples, and 78 chip samples were collected from the Pond zone.

Geophysics

Noranda completed ground magnetic and Very Low Frequency Electromagnetic (VLF-EM) surveys in the fall of 1985 after the geology program had finished. A 2.1 kilometer baseline oriented at 034° azm was established by chaining. A line spacing of 100 meters with 50 meter station spacing were chained and flagged from the baseline to establish 15.4 line kilometers of survey lines.

Magnetic survey

Survey speciﬁcations: The magnetometer employed on the survey was a UNIMAG model 6836 proton magnetometer manufactured by Geometrics of Toronto, Ontario. The diurnal variation was monitored with a geometries base station unit. Base station measurements were made every four seconds and used to correct the ﬁeld data. The magnetic variation ranges from 3350 to -1630 nts (Powers, 1986).

Discussion: Powers (1986) suggests that there is a trend from low to high magnetic response along the eastern portion of the property interpreted to be the contact between [volcanic and sedimentary] rocks. Within the magnetic terrane there are a number of interpreted linear highs that trend parallel to the regional fabric.

VLF-EM survey

Survey speciﬁcations: An EM16 manufactured by Geonics Limited of Toronto, Ontario was used to carry out the VLF-EM survey. This instrument measures the in-phase and quadrature component of the electromagnetic ﬁeld transmitted from various naval facilities. In this ca5e the transmitter employed was Seattle, Washington (Powers, 1986).

Discussion: Powers (1986) summarizes three VLF-EM anomalies (Figure 5). A small anomaly interpreted to be shallow in origin occurs at the north end of the grid (L11+00N at 1+50E). A second shallow but more prominent anomaly trends approximately parallel to the baseline on the eastern side of the survey grid (L6+00N at 3+50E to L4+OOS at 2+50E). Powers (1986) suggests that this anomaly may actually be two anomalies offset between 3+005 and 4+OOS. The third anomaly is coincident with the Chuck vein (L1+OOS and L2+OOS at 3+00W). All conductors are interpreted to strike parallel to regional foliation.

Trenching

Snowden exposed 2782 cubic feet in nine trenches on the Carson property (Figure 6). The locations of nine of these trenches are shown to be at the Pond showing (Glidden and Burton, 1948). Trenches are reported at the Chuck vein and Hilltop zone showings and were sampled during the 1981 Wollex program and 1985 Noranda programs (Dickson, 1982; Powers 1986). The author cannot conﬁrm when the trenches outside the Pond zone were created. Assay values from any material sampled from the trenches is not presented in Glidden and Burton (1948).

Diamond drilling

In 1946, Snowden acquired the Doins claim and commenced with trenching, stripping, and may diamond drilling. A total 43 drill holes totaling 6384.26 feet were completed (Glidden and Burton, 1948).

Local Infrastructure

The Colomac Winter road passes within 5 km to the west of the property. The Colomac Mine is approximately 25 kilometers to the North. No power lines, gas lines, or settlements occur near the property. The property is approximately 100 kilometers north-northeast from Northwest Territories Power Corporation's Snare River Hydro power complex.

C-1 Property Claims and Ownership

The C-1 property consists of 5 mineral claims contiguous with the Rollo property and Kenty area claims were optioned from a mining group representing full, 100% interest in the mining claims.

Kenty Mine Claims and Ownership

The Company entered into an agreement with Brian MacClay to purchase the Kenty Mine claims, which are comprised of patented mining claims. However, a separate group claimed title and ownership of these patented mining claims, and therefore, the Company is currently in litigation to resolve the title and determine the rightful owners of the claims. The Company has been added as an owner on title as a result of the current legal proceedings to date.

Regional Geology

The Swayze Greenstone Belt (SGB) is located within the western Abitibi Subprovince of the Superior Province. It is similar in age and composition the better known Abitibi Subprovince, a prolific producer of greenstone-hosted lode gold deposits, and is thought to be the western extension of the Abitibi. The SGB is bounded to the east by the Kenogamissi

Batholith (2713 Ma), to the north by the Nat River granitoid complex (2692 Ma), the Ramsey-Algoma grantitoid complex to the south (2692 Ma), and the Kapukasing Structural Zone to the east.

The Swayze Greenstone Belt hosts Archean age volcanic assemblages with a general east-west trending structure. The oldest rocks are of the mafic to intermediate rocks of the Chester Group (2730 Ma), which are overlain by rocks of the Marion Group (2729 Ma) rocks predominantly of felsic volcanics and iron formations. The Trailbreaker Group (2705 Ma) overlies the Marion group, and is equivalent in age and composition to the tholeiitic Tisdale in the Timmins camp. The Tisdale group hosts most of the major gold deposits in the Timmins gold camp, and is uncomformably overlain by the Timiskaming sediments, which are thought to resemble the Rideout Group (<2690 Ma). The Trailbreaker Group consists of ultramafic, mafic, and felsic volcanic assemblages.

Mineralization

Mineralization in the SGB targets similar mineralization style to quartz vein hosted lode-gold deposits in the Abitibi Subprovince. These deposits are typically structurally controller epigenetic deposits, characterized by complex structural features hosting laminted quartz-carbonate veins in brittle, steeply dipping fault-fill veins, as well as narrow flat-lying extensional veins. These deposits are typically associated with regional unconformities, Archean-age tholeiitic basalts intruded by felsic porphyry bodies. Additionally, major crustal-scale compressional to transtensional fault zone structures resulting from accretionary processes necessary to create the deformational structures that transport deep crustal Au-rich metamorphic fluid along the deformation structures leading to gold mineralization.

Mineralization on the claim group is characterized by quartz-carbonate veins in Archean age metavolcanic rocks, that are typically with porphyritic felsic intrusions. Mineralization occurs within quartz-ankerite-pyrite veins with an associated altered volcanic wall rocks and porphyry. Gold grades are nuggety and sporadic, with anomalous gold values occurring in the vein material, altered wall rock, and altered porphyritic units on the property. The most impression example is a flat-lying quartz-carbonate vein, named the C-1 occurrence, that hosts intensely altered, flat-lying, quart-carbonate veins where visible gold is present. Elsewhere on the property, quartz-ankerite-pyrite veins are associated with less intense wallrock alteration and can trend either ~40-60 degrees or ~ 345 degrees. These are similar orientation to regional scale fault structures in the property area, as well as vein mineralization in the adjacent Kenty Mine claims.

Property Geology

Kenty Property

The Kenty property is underlain by pillowed mafic volcanics, which are in contact with felsic volanics and metasediments in the southern area of the property. Small bodies and dykes of felsic volcanic rocks intrude the mafic volcanic rocks on the property. Local structural deformation and quartz veining are parallel to regional fault and deformation structures and generally trend 40 - 60 degrees. More minor auriferous veins trend at ~340 degrees and are also associated with regional scale deformation structures. These regional structures offset and truncate veins that trends 40 - 60 degrees, which is observed in the No. 17 vein at surface, and in the No. 1 shaft.

Around the No. 2 shaft, veining and mineralization is associated with a "lamprophyrye" body that hosts quartz vein style mineralization and is visible in trenches at surface. Historically it was identified as a lamprophyre, but is has also been classified as an altered diorite. The rock is massive and medium grained with abundant biotite in its matrix.

C1 Property

The property is underlain by mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks that are bounded to the north and south by felsic volcanic rocks. The mafic volcanics are intruded by several smaller felsic porphyry intrusions, as well as intermediate to felsic dykes. A narrow band of altered ultramfic volcanics are suggested from historic geological mapping on the Kenty Mine area, as well as regional mapping by Heather et al (1991). Faulting and shearing appears to occur in a north-south orientation group, as well as a more east-west orientation group that is slight north of the eastern trend of the volcanic rocks. Airborne and ground geophysics suggest electromagnetic anomalies are associated with sediments and felsic volcanic assemlages at the contact with the mafic volcanics, representing accessory graphite mineralization.

Past Exploration Work

Regional Goverment Programs

Donovan (1965) mapped Swayze and Dore townships at a scale of 1:50,000. The claim 4270364 is shown to be underlain by mafic to intermediate massive flows and intermediate to felsic volcaincs with porphyritic textures. Limited

metasediment lenses occur within the felsic and intermediate volcanics. On a regional scale NW trending fault are noted, as well as ENE trending synclinal and anticlinal fold axis, although none are noted on claim 4270364.

The Geological Survey of Canada mapped the Swayze Greenstone Belt at a scale of 1:50,00 (Heather and Shore, 1999). General fault and fold structures agree with those observed by Donovan (1965), although additional high strain deformation zones are noted. More differentiation of volcanic sequences are made, leading to a more detailed representation of the geology underlying claim 4270364. The claim is underlain by intrusive ultramafic volcaincs (SNui) and mafic volcanics (SNm), with felsic units intercalated with metasediments to the north and south of the claims.

The Kenty Property

Initial work by Kenty Gold Mines in 1930 - 1934 identified several auriferous quartz veins, and completed a diamond drilling program, as well as sinking two shafts with limited drift underground drift development. The No. 1 shaft was sunk to a total of 500 ft (152m), and lateral development took place at the 250 foot (76m), 375 foot (114m), and 500 foot (152m) levels. The number 2 shaft was sunk to a depth of 534 feet (162m), with lateral development on the 290 foot (88m) and 525 foot (160m) levels.

In 1936, Brett-Trethway Mines Limited ran a small 5-ton/day test mill and reported no grades. In 1947, Erndale Mines Ltd. acquired the property and drilled 8 DDH for a total of 498 meters. The comapny dewatered the mine, and extracted 1,3333 tonnes of ore were extracted from scaling the No. 1 vein. Sampling averaged 0.92 g/t for the program. In 1950, Elancra mines carried out some work with a local mill, with no grades/records produced.

In 1983, Heron Resources carried out a magnetic and self-potential geophysical survey and collected humus samples on the property, and carried out a mapping program and carried out underground sampling on the veins via access from the No. 1 shaft.

In 1986, Emerald Isle Resources carried out an exploration program consisting of bulk sampling and stripping, and identified an hematitic zone with quartz stockworks to the southeast of the No. 2 shaft. Several diamond drillholes were completed to test for gold mineralization around the No. 2 shaft, with the best grades occurring with quartz-ankerite-pyrite veins associated with felsic porphyry dykes.

The C-1 Property

The Company owns a one hundred percent interest in 37 contiguous staked mining claims formerly comprised of Legacy Claim Numbers 4275244, 4275245, and 4275246.

This 734ha claims group is located within Swayze, Rollo, Coppel and Dore Townships, Porcupine Mining Division, approximately 150 km northwest of the City of Sudbury, west off Highway 144, midway between the established mining camps of Timmins to the north and Sudbury to the south and km south of the town of Gogama in the province of Ontario.

This interest grants claimholder JSHG with the sole right to explore for minerals, and to apply for a mining lease for extraction of the minerals. This does not grant any surface rights to the Crown land, nor rights to extract or mine aggregates from the claim areas.

This claims group requires annual exploration expenditures of $11,200.00 CAD per year ($400.00 per 19 single cell claims and $200.00 per 18 boundary claims), accompanied by an industry standard report detailing the work completed, due on their various anniversary dates (recorded in table below).

The Company signed a revised Joint Venture Agreement on November 19, 2019 with the C1 Syndicate which grants the Company the right to earn a 50% interest in 6 contiguous staked mining claims comprising 66 ha located in Rollo and Swayze Townships and formerly comprised of Legacy Claim Numbers 4270433 and 4275530, currently recorded in MLAS with Tenure IDs: 295435 (41O15H362), 280401 (41O15H360), 240808 (41O15H342), 210391 (41O15H361), 159036 (41O15G380), 107471 (41O15H341). C1 Syndicate claimholders are 2254022 Ontario Ltd. and Kencana Technical Services Inc., each holding a 50% interest.

The 50% interest that the Company could acquire would grant it the right to explore for minerals, and to apply for a mining lease for extraction of the minerals. This does not grant any surface rights to the Crown land, nor rights to extract or mine aggregates from the claim areas.

This claims group requires annual exploration expenditures of $1,600.00 CAD per year ($400.00 per 2 single cell claims and $200.00 per 4 boundary claims), accompanied by an industry standard report detailing the work completed, due on their various anniversary dates (recorded in table below).

This claims group retains a total Exploration Reserve of $44,742.00 value that has potential to secure the claims tenure for approximately 4 years 2025.

They are recorded in MLAS with the following Tenure IDs:

Red Pine Exploration Inc. (2010 - 2011) explored the claims directly surrounding the Kenty mine, which include the current claim group. Their work program consisted of line-cutting, IP, stripping and trenching, and limited diamond drilling. Trenching and striping identified several anomalous gold values associated with quartz-carbonate altered volcanics and quartz veins, with more limited showings associated with a felsic porphyry unit with significant gold assays. Some higher grade assays were reported associated with north-south trending quartz veins. Diamond drilling showed very limited anomalous gold mineralization occurring in relation to the felsic porphyry unit targeting some IP anomalies, although several IP anomalies with high resistivity and high chargeability related to the auriferous quartz carbonate vein mineralization remain untested.

Prospector Charles Mortimer completed some stripping of the Hopkins 1 vein allowing for the observation both the vein and wall rock mineralization in an assessment file with limited documentation. Nuggety gold mineralization is noted in a past report by Swayze Resources Ltd. Several pits and trenches of varying age are noted on claim 4270364. It appears that trenching focused on uncovering quartz stringers, veins, and altered wall rock associated with the historic Hopkins 1 vein, located on a striped hillside in the northeast area of the claim. This work was completed on the claim group to the west and north of the Kenty patent boundaries.

Several pits and trenches of varying age are noted on the current claim group to the east, mostly occurring on claim 4275471, with limited assays reported. Several altered and weathered pits and trenches were noted during the completion of the survey. Several of these trenches are still visible on the property, and were extended as part of Red Pine Exploration Inc. program. This work was completed from 1986 to approximately 2010.

King Solomon's Mine Property

The Company owns a one hundred percent interest in these four contiguous staked boundary mining claims (approx. 180 acres) located in the northwestern portion of Davis Township, Sudbury Mining Division approximately 40 km east-northeast of the city of Sudbury, Ontario. This claims group were all part of the single legacy mining claim 4281716, currently recorded in MLAS by the following Tenure IDs: 322868 (Cell ID 41I10I336), 320702 (Cell ID 41I10I337), 208133 (Cell ID 41I10I317), 100056 (Cell ID 41I10I316).

These grant the Company the sole right to explore for minerals, and to apply for a mining lease for extraction of the minerals. This does not grant any surface rights to the Crown land, nor rights to extract or mine aggregates from the claim areas.

This claims group requires annual exploration expenditures of $800 CAD per year ($200.00 per claim), accompanied by an industry standard report detailing the work completed, due on their July 31^st anniversary date.

A Work Credit Report was submitted to MNDM on December 28, 2019 (see attached WORD DOC for MLAS record of submission) and is pending Ministry approval. Upon MNDM approval, JSHG will be able to distribute approved work credits to secure tenure of the claims group through July 31, 2021.

ITEM 3.	LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Except as indicated below, there are no material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, to which the Company is a party or of which any of its property is the subject, or any such proceedings known to be contemplated by any governmental authority.

At present the Company is involved in three material litigation proceedings. These actions are ongoing in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and all involve the ownership of the Kenty Property.

The first application is an application brought by Emerald Isle Resources on May 14, 2013 seeking a declaration that it is the legal owner of the Kenty Property. The application alleges: (i) that Brian A. McClay, the owner of the Kenty Property, had sold 100% of his interest therein to Emerald Isle in 1986, although Emerald Isle did not register its acquisition of the Kenty Property at that time; and (ii) that at the time he entered into an agreement to sell the Kenty Property to the Company, Mr. McClay had no interest in the Kenty Property to sell. The Company has responded to that application.

By separate application commenced March 13, 2014 the Company and its co- applicant, Mr. McClay, commenced a separate proceeding in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice seeking a formal declaration that Mr. McClay is the sole owner of a 100% undivided interest in the Kenty Property subject only to a smelting agreement and a Mineral Property Acquisition Agreement in favor of the Company.

These matters remain to be resolved.

In separate proceedings, on May 13, 2015, the Company filed a Statement of Claim against Mr. McClay seeking damages totaling $10,750,000 in the event that the Application of the Company and Mr. McClay is unsuccessful and on or about September 28, 2015, Mr. McClay filed a counterclaim against the Company alleging that the Company has failed to deliver the consideration for the purchase of the Kenty Property and therefore has no rights thereto, and seeking damages in the amount of $2,500,000 against the Company. The matter remains in abeyance pending the resolution of the two Applications.


ITEM 4.	MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

As the mines operated by the Company are not located in the United States, we are not subject to the provisions of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 and are thus not required to provide the information required by this Item 4.

See the Risk Factor entitled "Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.”

As at December 31, 2019, we were in arrears in our dividends on preferred shares. The balance of dividends payable of $359,862 includes dividends of $230,400 and accrued interest of $129,462, accrued at 10.0% interest compounded annually.

Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans

We have never and have no current plans to issue securities under any equity compensation plans. However, during 2018, securities were to be issued to employees under individual employment agreements as further detailed below in “Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities” and Item 13.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

In addition, the Company issued 8,667,149 shares of common stock for compensation recorded in prior periods at the fair values ranging from $0.05 to $0.15 per share for a total of $433,457.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued 8,300,000 shares of common stock to third parties for the acquisition of mineral rights at the fair values ranging from $0.15 to $0.20 per share for a total value of $1,340,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued 75,590 shares of common stock to third parties under the S-1 registration statement filed with the SEC. The total value of stock issued was $11,339.

In addition, 1,576,534 shares of common stock are issuable to directors for services recorded in prior years. An additional 1,995,043 shares of common stock are yet to be issued for debt settlements from prior years.

Use of Proceeds

On July 24, 2018, the Company publicly filed with the SEC its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-226315), which registration statement was declared effective on August 10, 2018. The Registration Statement provided for the registration of: (i) 5,000,000 shares of common stock for sale by the Company under its Primary Offering; and (ii) 62,912,797 shares of common stock for resale under a Secondary Offering by certain Selling Stockholders of the Company.

As of January 24, 2019, the Company had sold 75,590 Flow-Through shares of common stock under the Primary Offering at a price of $0.15 per share, and the Board of Directors resolved to terminate the Primary Offering only. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities registered thereunder that remained unsold at the termination of the offerings, on January 24, 2019, the Company filed with the SEC Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to remove and withdraw from registration the 4,924,410 shares that were registered but remained unsold upon the termination of the Primary Offering. Such Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 had no effect on the 62,912,797 shares registered for resale under the Secondary Offering, although on December 26, 2019, the Company filed with the SEC its Post-Effective Amendment No. 2, by which it removed from registration all 62,912,797 Secondary Offering shares. The Company used the $11,338.50 in proceeds from its sale of 75,590 shares for operating expenses and reduction of accounts payable.


ITEM 6.	SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.


ITEM 7.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(a)

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

We are an exploration stage company focused on developing our business in the mineral exploration sector. Our principal business objective for the next twelve (12) months will be to continue to develop our business plan in this sector.

As of December 31, 2019, we had cash on hand of $14,211 and current liabilities of $1,167,126. We do not have sufficient capital to operate our business and will require additional funding to sustain operations through December 2020. There is no assurance that we will be able to achieve revenues sufficient to become profitable.

We have incurred losses since inception and our ability to continue as a going-concern depends upon our ability to develop profitable operations and to continue to raise adequate financing. We are actively targeting sources of additional financing to provide continuation of our operations. In order for us to meet our liabilities as they come due and to continue our operations, we are solely dependent upon our ability to generate such financing.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case we may be unable to meet our obligations and we may cease operations.

Net cash used in operating activities. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $(137,659) compared with $(96,831) used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The cash flow used in operating activities in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 was primarily the result of incurred operating losses. The cash flow used in operating activities in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily the result of incurred operating losses.

Net cash used in investing activities. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, net cash used in investing activities was $(360) compared with $Nil used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Net cash provided by financing activities. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $149,587 compared with $94,987 provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The cash flow provided by financing activities in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 was

primarily attributable to advances from shareholders. The cash flow provided by financing activities in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to advances from shareholders and proceeds on issuance of capital stock.

(b)

Results of Operations.

Comparison of Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2019 to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2018

We did not earn any revenues during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production of our mineral properties. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such resources are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of our mineral properties.

Consulting Fees. Consulting fees increased to $192,450 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 from $162,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in consulting fees was primarily attributable to the increase in the trading price range of the common stock used for stock based executive compensation.

Exploration Expenses. Exploration expenses increased to $9,066 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 from $6,979 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in exploration expenses was attributable to staking fees and geological consultants.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased to $3,582 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 from $6,349 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The decrease was due to the debt settlement with a consultant during the current year.

Professional Fees. Professional fees increased to $114,980 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 from $79,431 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in was due to the Company’s increase legal costs associated with Company filings.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $13,884 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and $11,160 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The interest accrued on the David Mason loan as described in Note 5 to the financial statements.

Depreciation. Depreciation expenses of $Nil for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The company did not acquire any depreciable assets during the year.

Loss on Disposal of Mineral Rights. The loss in 2019 was due to the impairment charge on mineral rights as described in Note 4 to the financial statements.

Net loss. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we incurred a net loss of $(2,027,604) as compared to a net loss of $(266,955) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. The increase in net loss was primarily a result of the Company’s lack of activity and, not yet having commenced its mining operations, terminated or expired property agreements, impairment of acquired mineral rights, and does not have any revenue.

(c)

Off-balance sheet arrangements.

We have not entered into any 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 and would be considered material to investors.

(d)

Inflation.

We do not believe that inflation has had in the past or will have in the future any significant negative impact on our operations.

(e)

Contractual Obligations.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the Year ended December 31, 2019

Nature of Operations

Joshua Gold Resources Inc. (referred to herein as “Joshua”, “JSHG”, or the “Company”) was incorporated on July 10, 2009 in the State of Nevada.

The Company operates as a mineral exploration business headquartered at 1321 Dundas Street Woodstock, Ontario, Canada. Its principal business activity is the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral property interests in Canada. The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage and substantially all of the Company’s efforts are devoted to financing and developing these property interests.

The Company has the rights to five mineral properties in Ontario and in the Northwest Territories, Canada. There has been no determination whether the Company’s interests in unproven mineral properties contain mineral reserves, which are economically recoverable.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of operation.

The Company has incurred a net loss of $2,027,604 for the year ended December 31, 2019, and a working capital deficit of $1,114,023. As an exploration stage entity, the Company has not yet commenced its mining operations and accordingly does not have any revenue. This casts substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern unless it can begin to generate net profit and raise adequate financing.

The Company has been seeking additional debt or equity financing to support its operations until it becomes cash flow positive. There can be no assurances that action and plan such as above will be sufficient for the Company to continue operating as a going concern. Additional information is disclosed in subsequent events Note 12.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts classified as liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. These adjustments could be material.

Significant Accounting Policies

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of these financial statements are as follows:

Mineral Properties and Exploration and Development Costs

The costs of acquiring mineral properties are capitalized at the date of acquisition. After acquisition, various factors can affect the recoverability of the capitalized costs. If, after review, management concludes that the carrying amount of a mineral property is impaired, it will be written down to estimated fair value. Exploration costs incurred on mineral properties are expensed as incurred. Development costs incurred on proven and probable reserves will be capitalized. Upon commencement of production, capitalized costs will be amortized using the unit-of-production method over the estimated life based on proven and probable reserves (which exclude non-recoverable reserves and anticipated processing losses). When the Company receives an option payment related to a property, the proceeds of the payment are applied to reduce the carrying value of the exploration asset.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Long-lived assets that are held and used are analyzed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Intangible assets having an indefinite useful life are assessed for impairment annually.

The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether circumstances have occurred that indicate possible impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the Company uses future undiscounted cash flows of the related asset or asset grouping over the remaining life in measuring whether the carrying amounts are recoverable. In the event such cash flows are not expected to be sufficient to recover the recorded asset values, the assets are written down to their estimated fair value.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's accounts have been translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 830 Foreign Currency Matters. Management has determined that the functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar ("CAD"). Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are denominated in U.S. dollars. In accordance with the provisions of ASC No. 830, transaction gains and losses on these assets and liabilities are included in the determination of income for the relevant years. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements from their functional currencies to U.S. dollars are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income and have not been included in the determination of income for the relevant years.

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 periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of the Company's more significant estimates include those related to going concern, collectability of receivables, and the fair value of stock-based compensation and other equity instruments. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the period in which they become known.

Comprehensive Loss

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. ASC 220 establishes standards for the reporting and presentation of comprehensive loss and its components in a full set of financial statements. Comprehensive loss is presented in the statements of changes in stockholders' deficit and consists of foreign currency translation adjustments. ASC 220 requires only additional disclosures in the financial statements and does not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches. A fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:


	Level 1 -	Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
	Level 2 -	Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
	Level 3 -	Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statements and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for Stock-Based Compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. ASC 718 establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. ASC 718 focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718 requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued, when granted in exchange for employee services.

Awards granted to non-employees fall under ASC 505-50 and are recognized based on the fair value of the goods or services received or the equity instruments, whichever is more reliable.

Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

The Company accounts for earnings (loss) per share pursuant ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires disclosure on the financial statements of “basic” and “diluted” earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to stock options and warrants for each year. The weighted average number of shares outstanding has been adjusted for the effects of shares to be issued, stock dividends, stock splits, and reverse stock splits. Shares to be issued are included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding as the only constraint is the passage of time.

There were no dilutive financial instruments for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective accounting standards, when adopted, will have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements, other than those disclosed below.

•

"Leases" (ASU 2016-02) was issued during February 2016. This update will require organizations that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The new guidance will also require additional disclosure about the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

•

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, and reinsurance receivables. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit

exposures not accounted for as insurance (such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and other similar instruments) and net investments in leases recognized by a lessor. For public business entities that meet the definition of an SEC filer, the standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods in those fiscal years. The Company does not believe ASU 2016-13 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

•

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-08, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which clarifies that an entity must measure and classify share-based payment awards granted to a customer by applying the guidance in Topic 718. ASU 2019-08 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company does not believe ASU 2019-08 will have a material effect on its financial statements.

•

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. FASB issued the update to reduce the complexity by removing exemptions and simplifying the accounting for franchise taxes, deferred taxes and taxes related to employee’s stock ownership plan. The requirements in Topic 740. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASU 2019-12 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement.

The Company continues to evaluate the impact of these ASU’s on its financial statements.

Income Taxes

As at December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Reconciliation of the statutory tax rate of 21% (2018 - 21%) and income tax benefits at those rates to the effective income tax rates and income tax benefits reported in the statement of operations and comprehensive loss is as follows:


	For the Years Ended December 31,
	2019	2018

Loss before income tax	$ (2,027,604)	$ (266,955)

Expected income tax recovery	(425,797)	(54,361)

Total	$ -	$ -

The Company has net operating loss carryovers of approximately $5,933,000 for federal and state income tax purposes, which begin to expire in 2030. The ultimate realization of the net operating loss is dependent upon future taxable income, if any, of the Company. Based on losses from inception, the Company determined that as of December 31, 2019 it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize benefits from the deferred tax assets. The Company will not record income tax benefits in the financial statements until it is determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred income tax assets. As a result of the analysis, the Company determined that a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets was required.

The tax years that remain subject to examination by major taxing jurisdictions are those for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

10. Financial Instruments

Fair Values

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, dividends payable, advances from stockholders and amounts due on mineral rights. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. There were no transfers of financial instruments between Levels 1, 2, and 3 during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that changes in the rates of exchange on foreign currencies will impact the financial position or cash flows of the Company. The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar, thus the Company is exposed to foreign currency risks in relation to certain payables that are to be settled in US funds. Management monitors its foreign currency exposure regularly to minimize the risk of an adverse impact on its cash flows.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss in the event that certain counterparties are unable to fulfill its obligations to the Company. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss on its cash by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company does not have any cash in excess of federally insured limits. Sales taxes receivable are due from the Canadian government and notes receivable are due from stockholders with whom the Company also has advances payable.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company’s cash flows from operations will not be sufficient for the Company to continue operating and discharge is liabilities. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk as its continued operation is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing, either in the form of debt or equity, or achieving profitable operations in order to satisfy its liabilities as they come due.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that fluctuations in the market prices of minerals will impact the Company’s future cash flows. The Company is exposed to market risk on the price of gold, which will determine its ability to build and achieve profitable operations, the amount of exploration and development work that the Company will be able to perform, and the number of financing opportunities that will be available. Management believes that it would be premature at this point to enter into any hedging or forward contracts to mitigate its exposure to specific market price risks.

11. Segmented reporting

The Company only has one reportable segment, its acquisition, exploration and development of mineral property interests in Canada. All of the mineral properties are located in Canada.

12. Subsequent events

Subsequent to the year end the Company President and CEO, Benedetto Fuschino, advanced the Company $40,000 at 0% interest secured by promissory note with no set terms of repayment.

Subsequent to the year end the Company acquired the following properties:

On January 13, 2020 the Company acquired a one hundred per cent (100%) interest in the King Solomon's Mine (KSM) property in Northern Ontario in return for eight million (8,000,000) JSHG common shares and a two per cent (2%) Net Smelter Royalty ('NSR') of which the Company has the option to repurchase 50% of the NSR for two million Canadian

dollars ($2,000,000) at any time.

On January 15, 2020, the Company purchased a 100% interest in eleven claims (approximately 495 acres), known as the Borden North Property in Cochrane and Darcy Townships located about 6.5 kilometers (app. 4 miles) north of the Newmont Borden Lake gold mine in Northern Ontario. The Company paid one hundred thousand JSHG common shares for the mineral property.

Subsequent to year-end, there was a global outbreak of COVID-19 (coronavirus), which has had a significant impact on businesses through the restrictions put in place by the Canadian, provincial and municipal governments regarding travel, business operations and isolation/quarantine orders. At this time, it is unknown the extent of the impact the COVID-19 outbreak may have on the Company as this will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and that cannot be predicted with confidence. These uncertainties arise from the inability to predict the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, and the duration of the outbreak, including the duration of travel restrictions, business closures or disruptions, and quarantine/isolation measures that are currently, or may be put, in place by Canada and other countries to fight the virus.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years, and since then, no independent accountant who was previously engaged as the Company’s principal accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements has resigned or declined to stand for re-election or been dismissed.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective as of the date of filing this Form 10-K due to limited accounting and reporting personnel, inadequate accounting policies and procedures, and a lack of segregation of duties due to limited financial resources and the size of our company. We will need to adopt additional disclosure controls and procedures prior to commencement of material operations. Consistent therewith, on an on-going basis we will evaluate the adequacy of our controls and procedures.

(b)

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

This annual report does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting or an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for newly public companies.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The Company undertakes to provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of our Code of Ethics. Stockholders may request such copies from:

Joshua Gold Resources Inc., Attn: CFO, 1321 Dundas Street, Woodstock, Ontario, Canada N4S 7V9.

Nominees to the Board of Directors

During the Company’s 2019 fiscal year, there were no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to the Board of Directors.

Audit Committee

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is an early development stage company and has only two directors, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.
