MEXUS GOLD US AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014
(Unaudited)
1.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
|
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q, the consolidated financial statements, footnote disclosures and other information normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The consolidated financial statements contained in this report are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management reviews these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using currently available information. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Per Share Data
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per Share". Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Included in the ASC Topic 820 framework is a three level valuation inputs hierarchy with Level 1 being inputs and transactions that can be effectively fully observed by market participants spanning to Level 3 where estimates are unobservable by market participants outside of the Company and must be estimated using assumptions developed by the Company. The Company discloses the lowest level input significant to each category of asset or liability valued within the scope of ASC Topic 820 and the valuation method as exchange, income or use. The Company uses inputs which are as observable as possible and the methods most applicable to the specific situation of each company or valued item.
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, advances, notes payable, and a loan payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximate fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
Our investment in marketable securities is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 1 inputs.
On March 24, 2014, the Company resigned as the operator of the Joint Venture with Minerals La Negra S. de R.L. de C.V. and Trinidad Pacifica S. de R.L. de C.V. and sold 50 shares of the minimum fixed capital stock of Mexus Enterprises S.A. de C.V. to First Pursuit Silver de Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. for the following consideration: Assumption of $468,000 of accounts payable; Payment of $100,000 and $100,000 on July 2014 and July 2015, respectively, on behalf of the Company to Minerales de Tarchi S. de R.L. de C.V. for lease payments under an exploration agreement; 1,660,000 shares of common stock of Silver Pursuit Resources Limited; and $4,000,000 due on or before March 24, 2015. The Company could recover its 50% interest sold should the purchaser not fulfill the terms of the sale. As of December 31, 2014 the Company has not been successful in obtaining the shares we were to receive, accordingly we have recorded an impairment of $96,150 to fully impaired the value of the investment as it is uncertain if the Company will be able to obtain such shares.
Our warrant derivative liability and secured convertible promissory note derivative liability is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. The notes payable, loans payable and secured convertible promissory notes have fixed interest rates therefore the Company is exposed to interest rate risk in that they could not benefit from a decrease in market interest rates. In seeking to minimize the risks from interest rate fluctuations, the Company manages exposure through its normal operating and financing activities.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense based on the terms of the related debt instruments on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest rate method.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments
Accounting standards require that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. A change in the market value of the financial instrument is recognized as a gain or loss in results of operations in the period of change.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.
ASC 505, "Compensation-Stock Compensation", establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments to non employees for goods or services. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
Exploration and Development Costs
Exploration costs incurred in locating areas of potential mineralization or evaluating properties or working interests with specific areas of potential mineralization are expensed as incurred. Development costs of proven mining properties not yet producing are capitalized at cost and classified as capitalized exploration costs under property, plant and equipment. Property holding costs are charged to operations during the period if no significant exploration or development activities are being conducted on the related properties. Upon commencement of production, capitalized exploration and development costs would be amortized based on the estimated proven and probable reserves benefited. Properties determined to be impaired or that are abandoned are written-down to the estimated fair value. Carrying values do not necessarily reflect present or future values.
Mineral Property Rights
Costs of acquiring mining properties are capitalized upon acquisition. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new ore deposits, to expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property and equipment costs, to determine if these costs are in excess of their recoverable amount whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property and equipment costs would be based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

|
GOING CONCERN
|
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has a limited operating history and limited funds and has an accumulated deficit of $16,475,981 at December 31, 2014. These factors, among others, may indicate that the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern.
The Company is dependent upon outside financing to continue operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. It is management’s plans to raise necessary funds through a private placement of its common stock to satisfy the capital requirements of the Company’s business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the necessary funds, or that if it is successful in raising the necessary funds, that the Company will successfully execute its business plan.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and/or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to meet our obligations on a timely basis, and, ultimately to attain profitability.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AFFECTING THE COMPANY

In August 2014, the FASB ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, amending FASB Accounting Standards Subtopic 205-40 to provide guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term “substantial doubt,” (2) require an evaluation every reporting period, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2014-15 and does not anticipate a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

On June 12, 2013 the Company closed on the initial tranche and received $250,000 in cash. On August 8, 2013, the Company closed on the second tranche and received $125,000 in cash. The Company has not closed on the final tranche for $125,000 in cash. The Company has no obligation to pay Typenex any amounts on the unfunded portion of the Note. The Notes have a maturity date that is thirteen months after the issuance date. Typenex has been granted a security interest in the property of the Company. At the option of the holder, all principal, costs, charges and interest amounts outstanding under all of the Notes shall be exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock at the Conversion Price of $0.23 per share. The Conversion Price is subject to an anti-dilution adjustment in the event the Company at any time, while the Notes are outstanding, issues equity securities including common stock or any security convertible or exchangeable for shares of common stock for no consideration or for consideration less than $0.23 a share.
In conjunction with the issuance of the Notes on June 12, 2013, the Company issued a variable number of warrants of the Company’s common stock equal to $278,750 divided by the Market Price. Market Price is defined as the higher of (i) the closing price of the common stock of the Company on June 12, 2013, and (ii) the VWAP of the common stock for the trading day that is two days prior to the exercise date. The Exercise Price of the warrants are $0.24 per share. The Exercise Price is subject to an anti-dilution adjustment in the event the Company at any time, while the Warrants are outstanding, issues equity securities including common stock or any security convertible or exchangeable for shares of common stock for no consideration or for consideration less than $0.24 a share.
The anti-dilution protection for the Note and Warrants excludes (a) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as any such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and in which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, and (b) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuance or grant of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, officers and consultants, authorized by the Company’s board of directors in place on June 12, 2013.

WARRANT DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
|
The Warrants are subject to anti-dilution adjustments that allow for the reduction in the Exercise Price in the event the Company subsequently issues equity securities including common stock or any security convertible or exchangeable for shares of common stock for no consideration or for consideration less than $0.24 a share. The Company accounted for the warrants in accordance with ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, the Warrants are not considered to be solely indexed to the Company’s own stock and, as such, recorded as a liability.
The Company’s warrant derivative liability has been measured at fair value at December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014 using a binomial model. Since the Exercise Price contains an anti-dilution adjustment, the probability that the Exercise Price of the Notes would decrease as the share price decreased was incorporated into the valuation calculation. After June 12, 2013, the Company issued common stock for cash at a price of $0.015 per share and the conversion price has been adjusted accordingly.

The Company
Mexus Gold US is an exploration stage mining company engaged in the evaluation, acquisition, exploration and advancement of gold, silver and copper projects in the State of Sonora, Mexico and the Western United States. Mexus Gold US is dedicated to protect the environment, provide employment and education opportunities for the communities that it operates in.
Our President and CEO, Paul Thompson, brings over 40 years’ experience in mining and mining development to Mexus Gold US. Mr. Thompson is currently recruiting additional management personnel for its Mexico, Nevada, and submarine Cable Recovery operations to assist in growing the company.
Our executive offices are located at, 1805 N. Carson Street, #150, Carson City, Nevada 89701. Our telephone number is (916) 776 2166.
We were originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on June 22, 1990, as U.S.A. Connection, Inc. On October 28, 2009, we changed our domicile to Nevada and changed our name to Mexus Gold US to better reflect our new business operations. Our fiscal year end is March 31st.
Description of the Business of Mexus Gold US
Mexus Gold US is engaged in the evaluation, acquisition, exploration and advancement of gold exploration and development projects in the state of Nevada and Mexico, as well as, the salvage of precious metals from identifiable sources. Our main activities in the near future will be comprised of our mining operations in Mexico.
Our mining opportunities located in the state of Nevada and the state of Sonora, Mexico will provide us with projects to recover gold, silver, copper and other precious metals. The cable salvage opportunity involves principally the recovery of copper and lead from abandoned cable previously utilized for communications purposes. Each of these opportunities are discussed further herein.
In addition, our management will look for opportunities to improve the value of the gold projects that we own or may acquire knowledge of or may acquire control through exploration drilling, introduction of technological innovations or acquisition with the goal of developing those properties into operating mines. We expect that emphasis on gold project acquisition and development will continue in the future.
Business Strategy
Our business plan was developed with the overriding goal of maximizing shareholder value through the exploration and development of our mineral properties, utilizing the extensive mining-related background and capabilities of our management consultants and advisors. To achieve this goal, our business plan focuses on the following prospective areas:
Mexus Gold Mining S.A. de C.V.
Effective March 31, 2011, we acquired Mexus Gold S.A. de C.V. We began funding the operations in Mexico and have instituted as small placer processing operation to evaluate various areas of interest within the project lands.
Mexus-Trinidad Joint Venture
In March, 2014, we sold our 50% interest in the Joint Venture to Atzek Mineral S.A. de C.V.
Caborca Project
Our Caborca Project is comprised of earlier-stage exploration on lands purchased in State of Sonora, Mexico.
Cable Salvage Operation
The Company has completed the first phase of its Cable Recovery Project in Alaskan waters. The cable which was recovered was smaller diameter cable which was excellent for testing the recovery equipment and vessels. The Company evaluated the project and plans to conduct exploration activities in an attempt to identify larger cable. Should those activities identify any cable suitable for salvage operations, the Company would determine the proper title and ownership of the cable and once such title is determined act accordingly as to whether or not a recovery operation is warranted.
Mergers and Acquisitions
We will routinely review merger and acquisition opportunities. An appropriate merger and acquisition opportunity must be accretive to the overall value of Mexus Gold US. Our primary focus will be on those opportunities involving precious metal production or near-term production with a secondary focus on other resource-based opportunities. Potential acquisition targets would include private and public companies or individual properties. Although our preference would be for candidates located in the United States and Mexico. Mexus Gold US will consider opportunities located in other countries where the geopolitical risk is acceptable.
Mining Operations
We classify our mineral properties into three categories: “Development Properties”, “Advanced Exploration Properties”, and “Other Exploration Properties”. Development Properties are properties where a decision to develop the property into a producing mine has been made. Advanced Exploration Properties are those properties where we retain a significant ownership interest or joint venture and where there has been sufficient drilling and analysis to identify and report proven and probable reserves or other mineralized material. We currently do not have a Development Property or Advanced Exploration Property. Other Exploration Properties are those that do not fall into the other categories. Please see below for information about our Other Exploration Properties.
Other Exploration Properties
Our Other Exploration Properties consist of the following:
Mining Properties Located in Mexico
The following properties are located in Mexico and owned by Mexus Gold S.A. de C.V., our wholly owned subsidiary:
Caborca Project
On January 5, 2011, Mexus Gold Mining S.A. de C.V. entered into a Purchase Agreement to purchase the Caborca Project. The Caborca Project consists of 7,400 acres (3,000 hectares) about 50 kilometers northwest of the City of Caborca, Sonora State, Mexico. The Caborca Project lies on claims filed by the owners of the Santa Elena Ranch, which controls the surface rights over the project claims. The claims lie near 112o 25' W, 31o 7.5" N. These claims were visited near the end of January, 2011. On or about July 11, 2011, we acquired five additional claims surrounding the Caborca Project consisting of approximately 1,000 additional acres.
We have been unable to locate geologic maps of the area from the Government Geological Survey. However, pursuant to our investigation of the project, the claims were found to be underlain by an igneous complex. The rocks observed included many types of granitic rocks, exhibiting porphyrytic textures, gneissic and equigrannular textures. Quartz was variable. At times quartz "eyes" were observed, that is porphyrytic quartz which many workers consider to be indicative of a porphyry environment. In other localities, no quartz was evident. When no quartz was present, the rock was equigrannular. Quartz veining was evident throughout the claim group. A mine was developed along a major quartz vein, called the Julio 2 Mine with the vein being called the Julio Vein.
There are multiple exploration targets on the Caborca Project. The two most important are the quartz stockwork zone and the Julio vein system. The first target will be the quartz stockwork zone area. A detailed drilling program will be scheduled to test the Julio vein system.

Ocho Hermanos – Guadalupe de Ures Project
The Guadalupe de Ures Project is accessed from Hermosillo by driving via good paved road for 60 kilometers to the town of Guadalupe de Ures and then for 15 kilometers over dirt roads to the prospects. A base camp has been established near the town of Guadalupe de Ures using mainly trailers for accommodation, workshops and kitchen facilities.
FIGURE 2 - LOCATION MAP
The Ocho Hermanos Project (also called the Guadalupe de Ures Project) consists of the “Ocho Hermanos” and "San Ramon" claims which are covered by the Sales and Production Contract dated the 4th day of July, 2009 between “Minerales Ruta Dorado de RL de CV” (seller) and “Mexus Gold Mining S.A. de C.V.”, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mexus Gold US (buyer). The Ocho Hermanos Claim consists of 34.9940 hectares (1 acre = 0.4047 hectares) or 86.4690 acres while the San Ramon Claim consists of 80 hectares (197.6773 acres).(Figure 4)
The term of the agreement is 5 years. During the term Mexus must pay 40% of the net revenue received for minerals produced to the seller. At the conclusion of the 5 years, the lease can be purchased for USD 50,000.
Minerales Ruta Dorado de RL de CV is a duly constituted Mexican Company and as such can hold mining claims in Mexico.

PROJECT AREA CLAIM MAP
Mexus did not perform any systematic sampling or any systematic drilling and because of this did not set up a formal QA/QC program. All of the samples were submitted to Certified Laboratories (ALS - Chemex in Hermosillo or American Assay in Reno, Nevada) which insert their own QA/QC samples/duplicates. Also the laboratories run duplicates and blanks from each batch fired. The sequence of events so far are the following:
Mexus found a previously mined area with interesting values – Ocho Hermanos Mexus began to submit characterization samples to the above noted assay laboratories, in order to determine the range of Au - Ag values present Mexus then began an investigation into recovery options by using material taken from the areas with the better values.
The above work was completed before any systematic exploration was done because if no recovery method could be found relatively quickly, the project would move more slowly because of the lead time involved, Mexus began work on an Environmental Impact Statement for the likely operational area (a total of 4 hectares to begin). In order to complete the EIS, figures for estimated tonnages were submitted to cover the hoped for volume. To date, no suitable recovery method was found due primarily to the partial oxidation of the principally sulfide deposit
The Environmental Permits run for 35 years so there is time for further investigation
The main geologic feature of this project area is an apparent “manto” sulfide zone composed primarily of galena with some pyrite, arsenopyrite and possibly phyrrotite. Above this zone there is an oxide zone composed of iron and lead oxides. The sulfides themselves are partially oxidized. Reconnaissance and characterization samples taken indicated sporadically high gold and silver values. The deposit occurs in shallow water sediments (principally quartzites, with some limestone and shales) and can be best characterized as a skarn type deposit due to the presence of intrusive rocks within 1 kilometer.
Given the complex nature of the sulfide deposit and the partial oxidization of the material (indicated by the presence of yellow colored lead oxides), a satisfactory recovery method has not yet been found. Consequently, at this time, no further systematic work beyond the initial reconnaissance and characterization sampling has been completed. The entire project was essentially put on hold until a suitable recovery method is found, which is a continuing effort and at this time is being pursued by member of the faculty at the University of Sonora in Hermosillo. The faculty member teaches metallurgy and assay practices at the University. After a suitable recovery method has been identified, the process will need to be confirmed by a certified metallurgical testing laboratory.
The Environmental Permits detail all of the affected flora and fauna. The land is presently used for cattle grazing and the surface rights are owned by the community of Guadelupe de Ures. An agreement is in place with Mexus Gold Mining S.A. de C.V. for surface access and disturbance. The Environmental Permit concludes that no permanent damage or degradation of the present land use will result from the intended activity on the lands. At present, the Environmental Permits cover a total of 4 hectares - 3 hectares cover the initial site of the mineral as presently understood and 1 hectare is permitted for the erection of a suitable extraction plant.
No known contamination from past mining activities was found or is known to locals. The historic workings consisted of a few shallow adits and pits. In the course of obtaining the Environmental Permission the permit stipulated that properly lined ponds etc. must be used to prevent any potential surface or ground water contamination from any proposed activities.
Only separation is proposed to be conducted on site if found to be possible, while final metal recovery will be conducted at a properly licensed and certified metal refining facility. Current efforts to find suitable recovery methods are being conducted off site in a University laboratory. Up sizing the process, if found, will be completed by a licensed, certified metallurgical laboratory.
Figures of the proposed permitted sites are attached. These were extracted from the environmental permit

AREA DE EXTRACCION
370 Area
This zone is composed of a sedimentary sequence (limestone, quartzite, shale) intruded by dacite and diorite as well as rhyolite. The dacite exhibits argillic alterations as well as silicification (quartz veins). The entire area is well oxidized on the surface. This is an area of classic disseminated low grade gold and silver mineralization. Surface grab sample assays show 0.14 grams per ton to as high as 29.490 grams per ton gold. This area is an important area for potentially defining an open pit heap leach project.
El Scorpion Project Area
This area has several shear zones and veins which show copper and gold mineralization’s. Recent assays of an 84’ drill hole shows 1.750% per ton to .750% per ton of copper and 3.971 grams per ton to 0.072 grams per ton of gold. Another assay of rock sample from the area shows greater than 4.690% per ton copper. This land form distribution appears to be synonymous to the ideal porphyry deposit at Baja La Alumbrera, Argentina.
Los Laureles
Los Laureles is a vein type deposit mainly gold with some silver and copper. Recent assays from grab samples show gold values of 67.730 grams per ton gold, 38.4 grams per ton silver, 2,800 grams per ton copper.
As of the date of this Report, we have opened up old workings at the Los Laureles claim and have discovered a gold carrying vein running north and south into the mountain to the south.
Mining Properties located in the state of Nevada
Lida Mining District
The Lida Project is located in south central Nevada, approximately 20 miles south-west of Goldfield. The project area is accessed by proceeding 15 miles south of Goldfield along US Highway 95 to Lida Junction. Then by proceeding west along Nevada State Route 266 for 19 miles to Lida, Nevada, the project site. This mining property was fully impaired in the accounting records of the Company on March 31, 2013.
Cable Salvage Operation
Our examination of the information provided to us and our accumulation of data has identified the most prospective area to begin our salvage operations is the near coast areas of Alaska. The initial recovery operations will be comprised of acquiring two and one-half inch diameter cable with a weight of eight and one-half pounds. We are satisfied that we will be able to comply with all permits and notifications to the appropriate governmental authorities regarding the salvage operations.
The Company has completed the first phase of its Cable Recovery Project in Alaskan waters. The cable which was recovered was smaller diameter cable which was excellent for testing the recovery equipment and vessels. The Company evaluated the project and plans to conduct exploration activities in an attempt to identify larger cable. Should those activities identify any cable suitable for salvage operations, the Company would determine the proper title and ownership of the cable and once such title is determined act accordingly as to whether or not a recovery operation is warranted.
Employees
Mexus Gold US has no employees at this time. Consultants with specific skills are utilized to assist with various aspects of the requirements of activities such as project evaluation, property management, due diligence, acquisition initiatives, corporate governance and property management. If we complete our planned activation of the Nichols Property Exploration and Drilling Program, Cable Salvage Operations and operations of the Mexican mining properties, our total workforce will be approximately 30 persons. Mr. Paul D. Thompson is our sole officer and director.
Competition
Mexus Gold US competes with other mining companies in connection with the acquisition of gold properties. There is competition for the limited number of gold acquisition opportunities, some of which is with companies having substantially greater financial resources than Mexus Gold US. As a result, Mexus Gold US may have difficulty acquiring attractive gold projects at reasonable prices.
Management of Mexus Gold US believes that no single company has sufficient market power to affect the price or supply of gold in the world market.
Legal Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings to which Mexus Gold US or Mexus Gold S.A. de C.V. is a party or of which any of our properties are the subject thereof.
Property Interests, Mining Claims and Risk
Property Interests and Mining Claims
Our exploration activities are conducted in the state of Nevada and Mexico. Mineral interests may be owned in this state by (a) the United States, (b) the state itself, or (c) private parties. Where prospective mineral properties are owned by private parties, or by the state, some type of property acquisition agreement is necessary in order for us to explore or develop such property. Generally, these agreements take the form of long term mineral leases under which we acquire the right to explore and develop the property in exchange for periodic cash payments during the exploration and development phase and a royalty, usually expressed as a percentage of gross production or net profits derived from the leased properties if and when mines on the properties are brought into production. Other forms of acquisition agreements are exploration agreements coupled with options to purchase and joint venture agreements. Where prospective mineral properties are held by the United States, mineral rights may be acquired through the location of unpatented mineral claims upon unappropriated federal land. If the statutory requirements for the location of a mining claim are met, the locator obtains a valid possessory right to develop and produce minerals from the claim. The right can be freely transferred and, provided that the locator is able to prove the discovery of locatable minerals on the claims, is protected against appropriation by the government without just compensation. The claim locator also acquires the right to obtain a patent or fee title to his claim from the federal government upon compliance with certain additional procedures.
Mining claims are subject to the same risk of defective title that is common to all real property interests. Additionally, mining claims are self-initiated and self-maintained and therefore, possess some unique vulnerabilities
not associated with other types of property interests. It is impossible to ascertain the validity of unpatented mining claims solely from an examination of the public real estate records and, therefore, it can be difficult or impossible to confirm that all of the requisite steps have been followed for location and maintenance of a claim. If the validity of a patented mining claim is challenged by the BLM or the U.S. Forest Service on the grounds that mineralization has not been demonstrated, the claimant has the burden of proving the present economic feasibility of mining minerals located thereon. Such a challenge might be raised when a patent application is submitted or when the government seeks to include the land in an area to be dedicated to another use.
In addition, our operations in Mexico are subject to the rules and regulations of Mexico which is generally governed by the Ministry of Economy. While the Mexican laws have generally become more favorable to US related mining interests, as in the US, it will be difficult or impossible to confirm that all of the requisite steps have been followed for location and maintenance of a claim and we have hired Mexican legal counsel to assist us with our Mexican operations.
Reclamation
We may be required to mitigate long-term environmental impacts by stabilizing, contouring, re-sloping and re-vegetating various portions of a site after mining and mineral processing operations are completed. These reclamation efforts will be conducted in accordance with detailed plans, which must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate regulatory agencies.
Risk
Our success depends on our ability to recover precious metals, process them, and successfully sell them for more than the cost of production. The success of this process depends on the market prices of metals in relation to our costs of production. We may not always be able to generate a profit on the sale of gold or other minerals because we can only maintain a level of control over our costs and have no ability to control the market prices. The total cash costs of production at any location are frequently subject to great variation from year to year as a result of a number of factors, such as the changing composition of ore grade or mineralized material production, and metallurgy and exploration activities in response to the physical shape and location of the ore body or deposit. In addition costs are affected by the price of commodities, such as fuel and electricity. Such commodities are at times subject to volatile price movements, including increases that could make production at certain operations less profitable. A material increase in production costs or a decrease in the price of gold or other minerals could adversely affect our ability to earn a profit on the sale of gold or other minerals. Our success depends on our ability to produce sufficient quantities of precious metals to recover our investment and operating costs.
Distribution Methods of the Products
The end product of our operations will usually be doré bars. Doré is an alloy consisting of gold, silver and other precious metals. Doré is sent to refiners to produce bullion that meets the required market standard of 99.95% pure gold. Under the terms of refining agreements we expect to execute, the doré bars are refined for a fee and our share of the refined gold, silver and other metals are credited to our account or delivered to our buyers who will then use the refined metals for fabrication or held for investment purposes.
General Market
The general market for gold has two principal categories, being fabrication and investment. Fabricated gold has a variety of end uses, including jewelry, electronics, dentistry, industrial and decorative uses, medals, medallions and official coins. Gold investors buy gold bullion, official coins and jewelry. The supply of gold consists of a combination of current production from mining and the draw-down of existing stocks of gold held by governments, financial institutions, industrial organizations and private individuals.
Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements, or labor contracts, including duration;
We do not have any designs or equipment which is copyrighted, trademarked or patented.
Effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on the business
Government Regulation
Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various national, state, provincial and local laws and regulations in the United States, which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters. We have obtained or have pending applications for those licenses, permits or other authorizations currently required to conduct our exploration and other programs. We believe that Mexus Gold US is in compliance in all material respects with applicable mining, health, safety and environmental statutes and the regulations passed thereunder in the Nevada and United States and in any other jurisdiction in which we will operate. We are not aware of any current orders or directions relating to Mexus Gold US with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations.
Our operations in Mexico are subject to the rules and regulations of Mexico which is generally governed by the Ministry of Economy. While the Mexican laws have generally become more favorable to US related mining interests, as in the US, it will be difficult or impossible to confirm that all of the requisite steps have been followed for location and maintenance of a claim and we have hired Mexican legal counsel to assist us with our Mexican operations.
Environmental Regulation
Our gold projects are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing and, in general, are becoming more restrictive. It is our policy to conduct business in a way that safeguards public health and the environment. We believe that the actions and operations of Mexus Gold US will be conducted in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Changes to current state or federal laws and regulations in Nevada, where we operate currently, or in jurisdictions where we may operate in the future, could require additional capital expenditures and increased operating and/or reclamation costs. Although we are unable to predict what additional legislation, if any, might be proposed or enacted, additional regulatory requirements could impact the economics of our projects.
Research and Development
We do not foresee any immediate future research and development costs.
Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws
Our gold projects are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing and, in general, are becoming more restrictive. It is our policy to conduct business in a way that safeguards public health and the environment. We believe that our operations are and will be conducted in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The economics of our current projects consider the costs and expenses associated with our compliance policy.
Changes to current state or federal laws and regulations in Nevada, where we operate currently, or in jurisdictions where we may operate in the future, could require additional capital expenditures and increased operating and/or reclamation costs. Although we are unable to predict what additional legislation, if any, might be proposed or enacted, additional regulatory requirements could impact the economics of our projects.
Results of Operations
The following management’s discussion and analysis of operating results and financial condition of Mexus Gold US is for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. All amounts herein are in U.S. dollars.
Three Months Ended December 31, 2014 compared with the Three Months Ended December 31, 2013
We had a net loss during the three months ended December 31, 2014 of $763,152 compared to a net loss of $367,817 during the same period in 2013. The increase in net loss is attributable to the decrease in (i) Impairment of marketable securities of $96,150 (ii) Loss on settlement of debt of $89,270 (iii) Loss on derivative liabilities – a $86,256 increase from the comparative period primarily due to a decrease in the share price of common stock of the Company, the decreased expected life of conversion options and warrants and a decrease in the conversion and exercise price of convertible bonds and warrants due to an anti-dilution clauses.
Revenue
For the three months ended December 31, 2014, we had revenues of $0 compared to $7,258 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease is due to reduced placer gold mining operations in México.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased to $561,560 during three months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $361,420 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. The increase in operating expenses was primarily due to an impairment loss of marketable securities and loss on settlement of debt.
Other Income (Expense)
We reported $201,592 of other expenses during the three months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $363,759 other expenses during the same period in 2013.
The decrease in other income (expense) is mainly attributable to:
(a) Increase in other income. The increase is due to the recover of sales taxes in Mexico.
(b) Decrease in interest expense. The decrease in interest expense is due to a decrease in the amortization of deferred finance costs.
(c) The fair value of the secured convertible promissory note derivative and warrant derivative liabilities is $840,620 at December 31, 2014. The increase in the fair value of the derivative liabilities of $181,979 is recorded as a loss in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2014.
Nine months Ended December 31, 2014 compared with the Nine months Ended December 31, 2013
We had a net loss during the nine months ended December 31, 2014 of $464,078 compared to a net loss of $3,153,749 during the same period in 2013. The decrease in net loss is attributable to the decrease in (i) Exploration Costs – a $363,177 decrease in exploration costs primarily attributable to the Joint Venture Agreement entered into between Mexus Gold US, Mexus Gold Mining, Minerals La Negra S. de R.L. de C.V. and Trinidad Pacifica S. de R.L. de C.V. on November 1, 2012. Mexus US Gold’s interest in the Joint Venture Agreement was sold in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 and reported as discontinued operations in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. (ii) Gain on derivative liabilities – a $1,483,709 increase primarily due to a decrease in the share price of common stock of the Company, the decreased expected life of conversion options and warrants and a decrease in the conversion and exercise price of convertible bonds and warrants due to an anti-dilution clauses.
Revenue
For the nine months ended December 31, 2014, we had revenues of $936 compared to $188,674 for the nine months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease is due to reduced placer gold mining operations in México.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses decreased to $1,233,912 during nine months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $1,535,127 for the nine months ended December 31, 2013. The decrease in operating expenses was due to a reduction in mining operations through the exploration activities of our properties and general administrative expenses.
Other Income (Expense)
We reported $768,898 of other income during the nine months ended December 31, 2014 compared to $1,224,466 of other expenses during the same period in 2013.
The increase in other income (expense) is mainly attributable to:
(a) Increase in other income. The increase is due to the recover of sales taxes in Mexico
(b) Decrease in interest expense. The decrease in interest expense is due to a decrease in the amortization of deferred finance costs.
(c) The fair value of the secured convertible promissory note derivative and warrant derivative liabilities is $840,620 at December 31, 2014. The decrease in the fair value of the derivative liabilities of 1,034,717 is recorded as a gain in the unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2014, we had cash of $37,991 compared to $0 at March 31, 2014.
Our equipment decreased to $1,294,520 at December 31, 2014, compared to $1,567,165 at March 31, 2014. The decrease in equipment is largely due to depreciation expense of $248,973 during the nine months ended December 31, 2014.
Our mineral properties had no change during the nine month period.
Equipment under construction decreased to $85,556 at December 31, 2014, compared to $107,522 at March 31, 2014. The decrease in equipment under construction was due to sale of equipment during the nine months ended December 31, 2014.
Total assets decreased to $2,015,647 at December 31, 2014, compared to $2,415,998 at March 31, 2014. The majority of the decrease in assets relates to the decrease in the fair value of marketable securities and depreciation of equipment.
Our total liabilities decreased to $2,187,619 at December 31, 2014, compared to $3,068,884 as of March 31, 2014. The decrease in our total liabilities can be primarily attributed the decrease in the fair value of secured convertible promissory note derivative and warrant derivative liabilities
The Company is dependent upon outside financing to continue operations. It is management’s plans to raise necessary funds through a private placement of its common stock to satisfy the capital requirements of the Company’s business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the necessary funds, or that if it is successful in raising the necessary funds, that the Company will successfully execute its business plan.
Future goals
The Caborca Properties have become our primary focus after our installation of a small placer recovery plant to conduct tests on prospective placer areas and determine the viability of the placer deposits while we conducted evaluations of the other Mexico properties. We have added additional equipment which will allow the continuation of mining operations of the placer deposits.
The Company has now scheduled the installation of a crushing/milling recovery plant for the high grade Julio quartz deposit as a result of the values of the assay analysis from the deposit which range from 0.250 to 5.5 ounces of gold per ton.
Therefore, our goal for the current year is to increase the cash flow of the placer mining operation, continue the drilling program which begun during 2011, initialize mining operations on the Julio quartz deposit while we conduct a thorough geological study by an independent geological firm of the future potential of other vein deposits located near the Julio deposit.
Foreign Currency Transactions
The majority of our operations are located in United States and most of our transactions are in the local currency. We plan to continue exploration activities in Mexico and therefore we will be exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. We do not trade in hedging instruments and a significant change in the foreign exchange rate between the United States Dollar and Mexican Peso could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide this information.
ITEM 4(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of the evaluation date our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. Our procedures were designed to ensure that the information relating to our company required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management is currently evaluating the current disclosure controls and procedures in place to see where improvements can be made.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2014, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Steps that the Company believes it must undertake is to retain a consulting firm to, among other things, design and implement adequate systems of accounting and financial statement disclosure controls during the current fiscal year to comply with the requirements of the SEC. We believe that the ultimate success of our plan to improve our disclosure controls and procedures will require a combination of additional financial resources, outside consulting services, legal advice, additional personnel, further reallocation of responsibility among various persons, and substantial additional training of those of our officers, personnel and others, including certain of our directors such as our committee chairs, who are charged with implementing and/or carrying out our plan.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as required in Rule 13a-15(b). We are conducting an evaluation to design and implement adequate systems of accounting and financial statement disclosure controls. We expect to complete this review during 2015 to comply with the requirement of the SEC. We believe that the ultimate success of our plan to improve our internal control over financial reporting will require a combination of additional financial resources, outside consulting services, legal advice, additional personnel, further reallocation of responsibility among various persons, and substantial additional training of those of our officers, personnel and others, including certain of our directors such as our Chairman of the Board and Chief Financial Officer, who are charged with implementing and/or carrying out our plan. It should also be noted that the design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting, or any system we design or implement in the future, will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three month period ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
