(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2012
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Bonanza Goldfields Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 6, 2008 (Inception). The Company’s fiscal year ends on June 30. The Company engages in exploring and acquiring mineral properties or claims located in the State of Arizona as well as in other geographic areas within the United States of America. The Company has successfully set up a small operating plant during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 (specifically the October – December of 2012 time period).
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has a working capital deficit and has not generated revenues since inception. During the six months ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss of $873,199 and as of December 31, 2012, has an accumulated deficit of $7,480,053. Further, the Company has inadequate working capital to maintain or develop its operations, and continues to be dependent upon funds from private investors and the support of certain stockholders. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. In this regard, management plans to continue raising necessary additional funds through loans and additional sales of its common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital.
The Company's ability to meet its obligations and continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to achieve profitable operations or obtain additional financing for plant expansion or general business overhead costs. The Company cannot reasonably be expected to earn revenue in this early stage of exploration. Although the Company plans to pursue additional financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure additional financing when needed or to obtain such financing on terms satisfactory to the Company.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.
7
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect (i) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, (ii) the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and (iii) the reported amount of expenses recognized during the periods presented. Adjustments made with respect to the use of estimates often relate to improved information not previously available. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of financial statements; accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates.
Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Exploration Stage Company
The Company's financial statements are prepared pursuant to SEC guidance and Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915, Development Stage Entities, as it devotes substantially all of its efforts to acquire and explore mining interests that will eventually provide sufficient net profits to sustain the Company’s existence.
Mineral property rights
All direct costs related to the acquisition of mineral property rights are capitalized. Exploration costs are charged to operations in the period incurred until such time as it has been determined that a property has economically recoverable reserves, at which time subsequent exploration costs and the costs incurred to develop a property are capitalized. The Company reviews the carrying values of its mineral property rights whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may exceed their estimated net recoverable amounts. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of those assets is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. As of December 31, 2012, management has determined that there was no impairment loss required for the six months then ended.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for impairment. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Management has determined that there is no impairment loss required for the six months ended December 31, 2012.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company had no operating properties at December 31, 2012, but the Company’s mineral properties will be subject to standards for mine reclamation that are established by various governmental agencies. For these non-operating properties, the Company accrues costs associated with environmental remediation obligations when it is probable that such costs will be incurred and they are reasonably estimable. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation are discounted to their present value. Such costs are based on management's current estimate of amounts that are expected to be incurred when the remediation work is performed within current laws and regulations.
8
It is reasonably possible that due to uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of possible environmental contamination, application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities, and changes in remediation technology, the ultimate cost of remediation and reclamation could change in the future. The Company continually reviews its accrued liabilities for such remediation and reclamation costs as evidence becomes available indicating that its remediation and reclamation liability has changed.
The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the associated long-lived assets and depreciated over the lives of the assets on a units-of-production basis. Reclamation costs are accreted over the life of the related assets and are adjusted for changes resulting from the passage of time and changes to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate on the underlying obligation. There were no asset retirement obligations as of December 31, 2012 as there are presently no underlying obligations.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using principally the straight-line method. When items are retired or otherwise disposed of, income is charged or credited for the difference between net book value and proceeds realized thereon. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, and replacements and betterments are capitalized.
The range of estimated useful lives used to calculated depreciation for principal items of property and equipment are as follow:
Asset Category
|
Depreciation/
Amortization Period
|
|
Support equipment
|
5 Years
|
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided, to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company follows a two-step approach to ultimately recognize and measure uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Company's tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments. At December 31, 2012, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its operating cash balances in banks in the U.S. The Federal Depository Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insures accounts at each institution up to $250,000.
9
Share-Based Compensation
The measurement of the cost of services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument is based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost is recognized when the event occurs. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options granted.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per common share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted net loss per share for the Company is the same as basic net loss per share, as during the period where a net loss is reported, the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be antidilutive and are therefore excluded from the calculation.
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, common stock equivalents consisted of warrants and options to purchase 21,926,667 and 15,000,000 shares of common stock, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced sale or liquidation.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, accrued interest and related party payable, approximate fair value due to their most maturities.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation for comparative purposes.
Subsequent Events
The Company’s management reviewed all material events through the issuance date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-2 (ASU 2012-2), Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The update is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment. The update is also intended to improve the consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories. Previous guidance required an entity to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount at least on an annual basis. If the carrying amount exceeded its fair value, an entity needed to recognize an impairment loss in the amount of the excess. The amendment to this update allows an entity to first assess the qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. This assessment will determine whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment tests. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 with early adoption permitted for impairment tests performed as of July 27, 2012. The Company believes the adoption of ASU 2012-2 will not have a material impact on its financial statements.
10
In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 (ASU 2011-11), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, where entities are required to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for the Company on July 1, 2013. The Company believes the adoption of ASU 2011-11 will not have a material impact on its financial statements.

(q) On October 1, 2012, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Tonaquint, Inc., a Utah corporation ("Tonaquint"), whereby the Company issued (i) a secured convertible promissory note of the Company in the principal amount of $1,660,000 (the "Promissory Note") with a conversion price of $0.05 per share and an annual interest rate of 8% and (ii) a warrant to purchase 158,953,080 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Warrant has an exercise price of $0.075 per share and can be exercised at any time within five years after October 1, 2012.
The Promissory Note, if prepaid, has a penalty of 135% prepayment obligation. The total amount to be funded is $1,500,000, representing the principal amount of $1,660,000 less an original issuance discount of $150,000 and the payment of $10,000 to cover Tonaquint’s fees. The shares of common stock underlying the Promissory Note and Warrant are to be registered by a registration statement pursuant to the terms and conditions of a registration rights agreement. On February 6, 2013, Tonaquint agreed to waive its registration right related to the Promissory Note.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company has received $200,000 from Tonaquint and recorded $21,333 as a debt discount related to the Promissory Note. Pursuant to the Purchase agreement, warrants to purchase 21,193,744 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued. The Company determined the estimated fair value of the warrants was $635,812. $164,180 of the Promissory Note’s fair value was allocated to the warrants and was recorded as a discount on the note. The Promissory Note included a beneficial conversion feature of $57,153, which was also recorded as a discount on the Promissory Note. The total discount of $242,666 is being amortized over the life of the Promissory Note. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, interest expense of $80,889 was recorded to amortize the debt discount of the Promissory Note.
14
Beginning on March 30, 2013, and each month thereafter, the Company shall pay to Tonaquint principal payments of $69,167 plus the sum of any accrued and unpaid interest due on such date by converting such amount at a conversion price equals to the lower of the (i) conversion price in effect ($0.05 per share if no anti-dilution adjustment) (ii) 65% of the arithmetic average of the 3 lowest volume-weighted average prices of the stock price during the 20 consecutive trading day period immediately preceding the date of the payment date (a “Company Conversion”); provided, however, the Company may, at its option as described in the agreement, pay all or any part of such installment amount by redeeming such installment amount in cash (a “Company Redemption”) or by any combination of a Company Conversion and a Company Redemption.
Each of the Promissory Note and the Warrant contain "blocker provisions" such that Tonaquint shall not be permitted to hold by virtue of payment of interest or principal under the Promissory Note or conversion of the Promissory Note or the exercise of the Warrant a number of shares of common stock exceeding 4.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding. As a result of this “blocker provision,” the Company determined that the convertible nature of the Promissory Note did not constitute a derivative for accounting purposes.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has reserved 75 million shares of common stock on October 1, 2012. The Company shall not enter into any equity line of credit or financing arrangement or other transaction that involves issuing securities that are convertible into common stock (including without limitation selling convertible debt, warrants or convertible preferred stock), or otherwise issue Common Stock (a) with conversion, exercise or similar mechanics or reset provisions that vary according to the market price of the common stock without a floor at or higher than $0.01 or (b) at a fixed price which is lower than $0.01, without the prior written consent of Tonaquint. Without the prior written consent of Tonaquint, the Company agrees not to declare or make any dividend or other distributions of its assets.
As of December 31, 2012, principal and interest payable to Tonaquint, Inc. related to the Promissory Note is $223,854.

NOTE 7 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective June 18, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the 2008 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the "2008 Plan"). The Plan reserves 1,000,000 shares of common stock for grants of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, warrants and restricted stock awards to employees, nonemployee directors and consultants performing services for the Company. Options and warrants granted under the Plan have an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying common stock at the date of grant and become exercisable based on a vesting schedule determined at the date of grant. The options expire 2 years from the date of grant whereas warrants generally expire 5 years from the date of grant. Restricted stock awards granted under the 2008 Plan are subject to a vesting period determined at the date of grant.
On June 6, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company amended the 2008 Plan to increase the reserved grant shares from 1,000,000 common shares to 25,000,000 common shares. On August 17, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company amended the 2008 Plan to increase the authorized shares to be granted from 25,000,000 common shares to 35,000,000 common shares.
The cost of all employee stock options, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements, is reflected in the financial statements over the vesting period based on the estimated fair value of the awards.

The Company has 17,500,000 options outstanding as of December 31, 2012.
The Company values all options using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Critical assumptions for the Black-Scholes option-pricing model include the market value of the stock price at the time of issuance, the risk-free interest rate corresponding to the term of the option, the volatility of the Company’s stock price, dividend yield on the common stock, as well as the exercise price and term of the option. The options are not subject to any form of vesting schedule and, therefore, are exercisable by the holders anytime at their discretion during the life of the option. No discounts were applied to the valuation determined by the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
On May 8, 2012, the Company granted Mr. Peter Cao, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, 8,000,000 options to purchase common stock of the Company at a price of $0.025 per share. The options have a five-year expected life, and were valued at $198,519, within which $132,348 was recorded during the six months ended December 31, 2012. On October 1, 2012, the Company cancelled the 8 million options and concurrently, agreed to issue 8 million shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Cao. No additional compensation expense was recorded because the value of the options cancelled on October 1, 2012 was the same as the value of the common stock granted based on the fair market value on grant date.

That Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement superseded the employment agreement dated May 10, 2012. Pursuant to the Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement, Mr. Geisler would receive 7,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and $75,000 in the next 25 months commencing July 15, 2012. On June 1, 2012, Mr. Geisler resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
On October 30, 2012, management learned that former President and CEO, Mr. Scott Geisler, filed suit against the Company on September 20, 2012, in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial District in the State of Florida. The Company has not yet been served with the summons and complaint or filed an answer. Mr. Geisler asserts that the Company is in default with respect to payments under a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement entered into upon his resignation as an officer and director of the Company and effective June 8, 2012. Mr. Geisler claims monetary damages "in excess of $15,000," attorneys' fees, court costs and seeks the issuance of 7,500,000 shares of common stock that is provided for under the Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement. We have engaged legal counsel to represent the Company in this dispute and counsel has identified defenses to the claims and setoffs. We are optimistic that a settlement of the dispute will be reached in the near future without having a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Currently, the Company is carrying the amount of $293,400 as disputed payables until resolved, which include other disputed payables.
The Company entered into a purchase agreement to purchase mining claims from Gold Exploration LLC in the amount of $99,000 on June 1, 2008. The agreement requires the Company to make royalty payments equal to 2% of the Net Smelter Returns (“NSR”) per year. The Company had no NSR for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and no royalties were paid. The agreement does not have any commitment dates for when production is to begin.
On February 7, 2011, the Company entered into a $250,000 promissory note agreement with Freedom Boat which bears interest rate at 12%. The agreement includes a royalty payment which includes 5% in royalty of its gross profits from gold extraction form the Tarantula Placer Mine and 5% royalty payment from Hull Placer Mine when and if production occurs. There is currently no production.
On February 7, 2011, David Janney, former officer, entered an agreement with Amazon Holding LLC to pay a finder’s fee for raising $250,000 in the acquisition of mining property. On January 19, 2012, Amazon Holding LLC demanded the Company make the payment. The dispute is still pending but the Company believes that it is not likely that Amazon Holding LLC will prevail if a suit is filed against the Company related to this agreement.

NOTE 9– LOSS ON SETTLEMENT OF LITIGATION
On February 26, 2012, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with David Janney (former CEO/CFO) for his actions related to wrongfully issued common stock of the Company, among many other things. The settlement agreement includes the following terms:
a. The Company agreed to issue 5 million shares of restricted the Company’s common stock to Mr. Janney as a form of compensation. The shares will be paid in two tranches. The first 2,500,000 shares should be issued upon the execution of the settlement and were issued on March 19, 2012. The second 2,500,000 shares were to be issued six months from the execution date of the settlement but have not been issued.
b. The funds held in escrow by Christine Wright at the Wright Law Firm, P.A. on behalf of Freedom Boat, LLC for a loan under Mr. Janney’s name will be considered payment in full for Mr. Janney's return of 20,000,000 shares to the treasury on August 29, 2011.
c. Mr. Janney agreed not to sell any more than 1,000,000 shares of his personal holdings of the Company’s common stock in the open market in any thirty-day period.
d. Mr. Janney agreed to return to the Company all of the Company’s property in his possession or in the possession of his family or agents including without limitation Bonanza's files and all documentation (and all copies thereof) dealing with the finances, operations and activities of the Company, its clients, employees or suppliers.
The Company recorded a loss of $59,000 on this settlement during the year ended June 30, 2012.
During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company learned that the title of the Midas Placer Claim which the Company purchased from Global Minerals, Inc., a company controlled by Mr. David Janney, was never transferred to the Company.
Effective February 13, 2013, the Company modified the settlement agreement with Mr. Janney where the parties mutually agreed that 2,500,000 common shares to Global Mineral Resources Corp. (“Global”) will be retained by Global and 170,000 and 1,000,000 shares will be returned to the Company by Global and Mr. Janney, respectively. Additionally, Janney waived his right to receive the 2,500,000 shares that were required to be issued to him on September 22, 2012, under the terms of the original settlement agreement
NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In January 2013, the Company received $25,000 cash for subscriptions of 1,562,500 common shares. These shares have not yet been issued.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains various “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that involve risks and uncertainties. Certain statements included in this Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements related to anticipated cash flow sources and uses, and words including but not limited to “anticipates”, “believes”, “plans”, “expects”, “future” and similar statements or expressions, identify forward looking statements. Any forward-looking statements herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business, including but not limited to, reliance on key customers and competition in its markets, market demand, product performance, technological developments, maintenance of relationships with key suppliers, difficulties of hiring or retaining key personnel, any changes in current accounting rules, and future regulatory or legislative actions (including additional taxes, changes in environmental regulation, and disclosure requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform, Consumer Protection Act and the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012), all of which may be beyond the control of the Company. The Company adopted at management’s discretion, the most conservative recognition of revenue based on the most astringent guidelines of the SEC in terms of recognition of revenue. Management will elect additional changes to revenue recognition to comply with the most conservative SEC recognition on a forward going accrual basis as the model is replicated with other similar markets (i.e. SBDC). The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth therein. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors and risks that could affect our results and achievements and cause them to materially differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those identified in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012, as well as other factors that we are currently unable to identify or quantify, but that may exist in the future. In addition, the foregoing factors may affect generally our business, results of operations and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
Overview
We are a junior mining and exploration company identifying and acquiring properties integrated with placer ore and hard rock mineralization in geo-politically stable regions. Management continues to focus all efforts on the flagship Tarantula Project, near Congress, Arizona. Our management's strategy is to process feasible placer ore, while proving out hard rock structures of the flagship Tarantula Project, Congress, Arizona. Our work effort has focused exclusively on the Tarantula Project. The project area is comprised of 38 lode claims covering 600 acres, with several low lying basins of what is believed to be ancient river beds. Furthermore, there are vestiges and hallmarks of major geological upheaval resulting in unique anomalies, such as extensive mineralized quartz veins. Initially, local non-qualified assay results showed high grades of gold, as well as lower grades of silver, platinum, and rare earth metals, convincing management of the existence of possible bonanza type resources.
Our flagship Tarantula Project consists of 38 lode claims covering 600 acres of patented, private property claims and Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) claims in the Date Creek Mountains, Arizona consisting of both alluvial and mineralized quartz deposits. A Preliminary Geological Survey of the claims and the immediate region is now completed of the Tarantula Project, prepared by Auric Resources International, Inc. of Wickenburg, Arizona. Shareholders can access the report at our website: www.bonanzagoldfields.com (such website and its contents are not to be incorporated by reference to this report).
20
Additional testing was completed by Auric Resources on our BLM land which tested positive for gold deposits and certain critical rare earth elements. Those results can also be found on our website (such information on our website is not to be incorporated by reference to this report).
Highlights from the report include:
●
|
The large land package with widespread areas of anomalous gold values; proximity to the Congress Mine; large iron oxide rich quartz veins which exhibit mineralogical and structural similarities to the Congress, Niagara, Queen of the Hills, Golden Wave and other mineralized, economic vein systems in the area; and the presence of placer gold in widespread gravels indicates that the Tarantula Property may host a large, potentially economic gold deposit and undoubtedly represents an excellent exploration target with potential for both placer and lode gold production from auriferous placers and veins.
|
●
|
Although some preliminary testing has been done on portions of the property, the majority of the land package has virgin placer gravels and large quartz veins that have never been explored or tested.
|
●
|
The geologic setting of the property is favorable for the concentration of placer gold in the local gravels that occur in drainage channels and elevated benches and for lode gold that occurs within the early Proterozoic granitic rocks as auriferous quartz fissure veins with locally abundant sulfides and iron oxides.
|
●
|
Auriferous quartz and quartz-sulfide veins occur on the Tarantula Property and many exhibit the same characteristics as those in the Congress Mine and other mines in the area. These veins ranged up to several feet in width and have strike lengths ranging from hundreds to thousands of feet.
|
Prior to commencing the survey, extensive samplings were analyzed locally at multiple depths demonstrating the potential for high grade gold findings throughout the property. Modern access for heavy equipment is already in place via our privately constructed roads, and rail is localized. The claims are directly adjacent to the world famous historic Congress Mine, Arizona. The Congress Mine operated between 1887 and 1959 producing, according to management’s understanding, about 400,000 ounces of lode gold (although past performance provides no assurances regarding future production). Unique features appear ubiquitous throughout the immediate area, including greenstone dike extensions, placer gravel deposits, and vestiges of numerous pre-historic waterfalls. Additionally, lode gold possibilities exist due to the extensions of schist and mineralized quartz veins in the immediate area of the Congress Mine. Our management believes the alluvial deposits originate from two ancient rivers that flowed in opposing directions during separate geological periods.
We expanded the flagship Tarantula Project with the acquisition of the Piedmont Mine, a gold and silver mine previously in operation until 1940. The Piedmont Mine has been deemed by our geological team as a highly prospective addition to the Tarantula Project. The acquisition expands the Tarantula Project to 38 lode mining claims covering over 600 acres of contiguous property directly adjacent to the historic Congress Mine which produced over 400,000 ounces of lode gold between 1887 and 1959.
While conducting a survey of the Tarantula Project, explorations of the outlying region lead to the acquisition of additional claims. With the expansion of the land package, management believes an economically feasible resource estimate can be derived and “proved out.” Furthermore, with the added resource, small to medium scale placer production operations can commence. We have further engaged Auric Resources International to source and build its production operation on an economically viable basis. The level of viability is indexed at 1 gram/ton, and management believes these levels can be attained if not exceeded. With placer production commencing of placer material, we intend to move directly into core drilling of the property. The adjacent historic Congress Mine was a hard rock mining operation, which resulted in the production of an estimated 400,000 ounces of gold until it ceased operations in the 1959. Congress’ hard rock structures appear to move directly onto our properties, and management believes, but can provide no assurances, that RC (reverse circulation) drilling samples will ultimately prove this out.
21
We are a junior mining and exploration stage company acquiring mineral properties or claims located in the State of Arizona, USA. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 or the time period of October – December 2012, we improved the road system on the Tarantula project and acquired a Yukon 25 plant and finishing table from Goldfields International. We successfully installed the plant, created a water reservoir that holds a maximum capacity of 1 million gallons and is currently at the 700,000 – 800,000 gallon level. Additionally we continued to calibrate the plant, and implement several plant enhancements such as a proprietary sluice system and a system of water regeneration from the plant to the retention pond to enhance recovery of water. The plant is fully operational and during this set-up and testing quarter we ran approximately 700 tons of placer material through the plant, all of which came from one site on the Tarantula. Gold recovery during this quarter could not occur as the gold particles that were found in the black sands produced by the plant were too fine for our manual recovery process. Management is now seeking an efficient way to recover any gold contained in those black sands which came from area on our site. Potential recovery remedies include signing contracts with outside vendors to process our black sands or to develop and on-site recovery system that may be chemical based. Management is actively exploring both routes to determine the best avenue going forward and is in discussion with outside vendors.
Going forward into 2013 management’s plan is to ensure the plant’s operation effectiveness through proper maintenance (especially during inclement weather such as was seen in the Congress area this winter), continue to run placer material from several different spots on the Tarantula to get a broader view of which areas are best to focus our mining efforts. We then plan to do an internal assessment of the geological and monetary value of the land mass based on all the data and information we collect by processing material from several different areas.
No assurances can be provided as to the timing, amount or recovery, or profitability of this prospective recovery. Management also believes it is too early to externally release gold yield estimates. Management continues to believe that a successful mining operation needs a minimum of 3 to 6 months of operations to have a sufficient amount of placer processed to accurately measure land yield effectively and that provides enough of a legally supportable estimate.
Three and Six months Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Three and Six months Ended December 31, 2011
For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, we generated no revenue. Our future revenue plan is still uncertain as we are in an early testing and exploration phase and are still dependent on our ability to effectively and economically mine gold. The expenditures for mining are cost intensive so it is critical for us to minimize costs while exploring the best areas on our land to process placer ore. We incurred losses of $388,732 and $873,199 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to losses of $275,698 and $401,065 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, respectively.
Our operating expenses for exploration activities were $123,402 and $144,086 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 compared to $29,279 and $56,980 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, respectively. The costs associated with exploration activities included trenching, testing, hauling, and labor costs associated with the exploration of our gold mine claims.
22
Our general and administrative expenses were $166,887 and $606,728 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 compared to $164,095 and $229,277 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, respectively. The increase for the six months was primarily related to the stock compensation expense of $132,346 related to the issuance of options to our COO, $200,000 related to the common stock granted to our CEO, $60,000 related to common stock granted to other professionals and our director, and other professional fees of $59,000.
Our interest expense was $98,792 and $122,734 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 compared to $23,324 and $55,808 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 respectively. The increases are primarily attributable to the amortization of debt discount related to a note issued to Tonaquint, Inc.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was $355,456 compared to $271,195 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in cash used in operations was primarily attributable to our mining activities and payments made to the professionals for the filing of registration statement during the six months ended December 31, 2012.
Our cash used in investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was $96,290, compared to $0 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Cash used in investing activities mainly included the purchase of equipment for the production site.
Our cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was $377,500, compared to $291,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The increase is mainly due to $200,000 proceeds from convertible notes payables related to Tonaquint, Inc.
We believe we will have to rely on public and private equity and debt financings to fund our liquidity requirements over the intermediate term. We may be unable to obtain any additional financings on terms favorable to us, or obtain additional funding at all. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, and if cash and cash equivalents together with any income generated from operations fall short of our liquidity requirements, we may be unable to sustain operations. Continued negative cash flows create substantial doubt regarding our ability to fully implement our business plan and could render us unable to expand our operations or take advantage of acquisition opportunities, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities, our stockholders may experience dilution of their ownership interest, and the newly issued securities may have rights superior to those of our common stock. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to limitations on our operations, including limitations on the payments of dividends.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect the liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities. Most of our activity is the development and mining of our mining claim.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure 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 our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the six months ended December 31, 2012 mainly due to lack of segregation of duties.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the six months ended December 31, 2012, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
24
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the executive officers of our company or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting our company, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or of our company’s or our company’s subsidiaries’ officers or directors in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect except the following matters.
On October 30, 2012 we learned that former President and CEO, Scott Geisler, filed suit against the company on September 20, 2012, in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial District in the State of Florida. The Company has not yet been served with the summons and complaint or filed an answer. Mr. Geisler asserts that the Company is in default with respect to payments under a Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement entered into upon his resignation as an officer and director of the Company and effective June 8, 2012. Mr. Geisler claims monetary damages "in excess of $15,000," attorneys' fees, court costs and seeks the issuance of 7,500,000 shares of common stock that is provided for under the Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement. We have engaged legal counsel to represent the Company in this dispute and counsel has identified defenses to the claims and setoffs. We are optimistic that a settlement of the dispute will be reached in the near future without having a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously discussed in Item 1A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012, except as follows:
