PART I

Item 1. Description of Business.

Organization

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 27, 2014, with fiscal year end in December 31, under the original name Tech Foundry Ventures, Inc. On March 3, 2016, our Board and majority shareholders approved an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation by adding Articles Twelve through Fourteen, which, in summary: (i) grants the board the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision in the Articles; (ii) authorizes the Board, without the consent of the shareholders, to adopt any recapitalization affecting the outstanding securities by effecting a forward or reverse splits of all of the outstanding securities, provided the recapitalization does not require any amendment to the Articles; and (iii) authorizes the Board to change our name without shareholder approval. On July 6, 2016, we changed our name to Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. On April 28, 2016, we split our common stock on a 10:1 basis without affecting the par value. All shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to account for the split.

We have never been party to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding, nor have we undergone any material reclassification, merger, consolidation, purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.

We were a consulting service company, which provided management and consulting services to early and middle stage start-ups. We were engaged by our first client in June 2015. In December 2015, we changed our business to mineral exploration, when we acquired all of Nevada Canyon Gold Corporation’s - a privately held Nevada corporation (“NCG”) - rights, titles and interests in and to an exploration agreement, dated for reference September 15, 2015, with an option to form a joint venture (the “Agreement”) with Walker River Resources Corp., a Canadian public company (TSX.V:WRR) on its wholly-owned Lapon Canyon Gold Project (“Lapon Canyon Project”, or “the Property”).

Our principal business, executive and registered statutory office is located at 316 California Avenue, Suite 543, Reno, NV 89509 and our telephone number is (888) 909-5548, fax is (888) 909-1033 and email contact is info@nevadacanyongold.com. Our website address is www.nevadacanyongold.com.

Business

We were a party to an Exploration Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Option to form a Joint Venture with Walker River Resources Corp. (“WRR”) on its wholly-owned Lapon Canyon Gold Project (“Lapon Canyon Project”, or “the Property”) located approximately 40 miles southeast of Yerington, Nevada. The Agreement did not grant us an interest in or to the Property, or any equity interest in WRR, but rather, granted us the right to earn up to an undivided 50% interest in the Property by incurring eligible expenditures of $500,000 (over a two-year period) in exploration and other expenses required to carry out a work program established and operated by WRR on the Property (the “Eligible Expenses”).

To acquire full consideration for all rights in and to the Agreement we paid NCG $65,000, which consisted of an initial cash deposit payment of $25,000, and a second cash payment of $30,000; the balance of $10,000 was paid through the issuance of 100,000 of our restricted common shares at a price of $0.10 per common share.

The Agreement did not grant us an interest in or to the Property, or any equity interest in WRR, but rather, granted us the right to earn up to an undivided 50% interest in the Property by incurring eligible expenditures of $500,000 (over a two-year period) in exploration and other expenses required to carry out a work program established and operated by WRR on the Property (the “Eligible Expenses”). Thereafter, the Agreement granted us an option to enter into a joint venture with WRR for further exploration and development of the Property.

On July 5, 2017, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with WRR on the Property. As at the date of the Purchase Agreement our interest in the Property was 30%. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement WRR agreed to buy back our 30% interest in the Lapon Canyon Project in exchange for 9,100,000 common shares of WRR and warrants to acquire an additional 11,900,000 common shares. Each WRR Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years without further consideration into one common share in the capital of WRR. The terms of the WRR Warrants contain a provision which prevents us from exercising any of the WRR Warrants which would result in us owning 10% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of WRR. The above securities were issued on July 18, 2017, upon acceptance of the Purchase Agreement by the TSX Venture Exchange, and were subject to a hold period which expired on November 20, 2017.

On June 7, 2017, we entered into an exploration lease and option to purchase agreement (the “Garfield Agreement”) with Goodsprings Development LLC (“Goodsprings”), a Nevada limited liability corporation on the Garfield Flats Project (the “Garfield Property”), consisting of six Orsa Claims and six Lazy Claims totaling 240 acres located in sections 27 and 28 of T 7 N, R 32 E, Mineral County, Nevada about 18 miles southeast of the town of Hawthorne. The term of the Garfield Agreement is ten years and is subject to extension for two additional terms of ten years each.

To retain the rights to the exploration lease, we are required to make the following minimum annual payments:

In addition to the minimum annual payments, we agreed to pay Goodsprings a 2% production royalty based on the gross returns from the production and sale of minerals from the Garfield Property.

At any time during the term of the Agreement we have a right to acquire 100% ownership of the Garfield Property for a one-time payment of $300,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The minimum annual payments paid by us to Goodsprings, cannot be applied or credited against the Purchase Price; however, once we exercise our option to acquire the Garfield Property, the minimum annual payments shall be credited against the production royalties payable.

On August 2, 2017, we entered into an exploration lease agreement (the “Lazy Claims Agreement”) with Tarsis Resources US Inc. (“Tarsis”), a Nevada corporation, to lease rights to three additional Lazy claims totaling 60 acres and located in the vicinity of our new Garfield Property. The term of the Lazy Claims Agreement is ten years, and is subject to extension for an additional two consecutive 10-year terms. Full consideration of the Lazy Claims Agreement consists of the following: an initial cash payment of $1,000 to Tarsis, which we paid upon the execution of the Lazy Claims Agreement, with $2,000 payable to Tarsis on each subsequent anniversary of the effective date. We agreed to pay Tarsis a 2% production royalty (the “Lazy Claims Royalty”) based on the gross returns from the production and sale of minerals from the Lazy Claims Property. Should the Lazy Claims Royalty payments to Tarsis be in excess of $2,000 per year, we will not be required to pay a $2,000 annual minimum payment.

During the third quarter of our Fiscal 2017, we staked an additional 69 Orsa Claims and 75 Lazy Claims, with a total paid cost of $54,152. These claims were added to the Garfield Flats Project.

Unproved Mineral Properties

Our mineral interests are comprised of the following:

Additional Claims Acquisition

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2017, we staked an additional 69 Orsa Claims and 75 Lazy Claims, with a total paid cost of $54,152. These claims were added to the Garfield Flats Project.

Location and means of access

The Garfield Flats Project consists of 159 claims (3,180 acres) located within the Walker Lane shear zone, a 60-mile-wide structural corridor extending in a southeast direction from Reno, Nevada. The Project is located in Mineral County, Nevada, with year-round access and established infrastructure, 18 miles southeast of Hawthorne, NV via U.S. Highway 95.

Geology and Mineralization

Geology

The US Geological Survey has mapped the area and has published the results as Miscellaneous Field Studies maps, MF 1485 and MF 1486. Mapped units include Paleozoic metasediments, Mesozoic sediments and intrusions, and Cenozoic volcanic rocks and porphyry intrusions. Like most of the Walker Lane, the area has a strong system of N50W- trending, normal and strike-slip faults along with a series of generally NE-trending thrust faults. The area has seen prospecting since the late 1800’s and contains hundreds of prospect pits and adits that explore various styles of base and precious metal mineralization.

The published USGS geologic quadrangle map for the Pamlico mine area, (MF 1485, MF 1486, Oldow, 1985), shows the eastern portion of the Garfield Flats project area underlain by a thick, undivided sequence of folded and faulted Mesozoic and or Paleozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks. The western portion of the project is underlain by Jurassic- to Triassic-age Sunrise and Gabbs Formations comprising interbedded limestones and calcareous mudstones. Locally, black Tertiary basalt caps the older rocks. The structural fabric is dominated by NW-trending, Walker Lane structures and by an older N70o E fabric, several phases of strongly altered and locally mineralized intrusive rocks as well a as zones of jasperoids and strong silicification has been identified.

Mineralization

Previous work on the project has identified the following discrete zones of mineralization: (1) the Lazy Man gold zone which is a structurally-controlled, intrusion-related gold deposit that produced about 1,200 oz Au from NW-trending, high grade zones partially hosted by altered rhyolite dikes, (2) areas of strong vuggy silica alteration in both intrusive porphyritic rocks and volcanic agglomerates particularly in the footwall of the Lazy Man zone, (3) a large area of barite and copper mineralization with intense bleaching east of the gold zone, (4) strong copper showings to the southeast of the gold zone, (5) the Loman antimony mine to the southwest of the gold zone, (6) skarn zones to the west of the gold zone, (7) a large zone of strong IP response to the west of the gold zone, and (8) a pyrrhotite porphyry intrusion west of the gold zone.

Exploration History

The Garfield Flats Project covers several past producing small scale high grade mines, altered and mineralized zones discovered by geological compilations and mapping of the historical workings, discovered by previous exploration on the Project. Previous sampling on the project has revealed the presence of copper, bismuth, and antimony as well as pervasive lower grade gold mineralization, cut by vein structures (some previously mined) of higher grade gold. Previous induced polarization surveys also denoted the presence of significant coincident I.P. anomalies. Below is a summary of previous exploration of identified mineralized areas within the properties.

Lazy Man Mine

The main structure that the mine workings explore has an N35^oW trend and dips about 60^o to the southwest. The vein was discovered in 1933 by a local prospector. The mine is credited with a historic production of about 1,200 ounces of gold from 2,800 feet (853 m) of underground workings. The three main shafts explore about 1,000 feet (304 m) of strike length on the vein, and the shafts extend to a maximum depth of 300 feet (91 m). The workings have been mapped and sampled in some detail by Congdon and Carey in 1974, and many multi-ounce gold values are noted in the remaining vein material. One 4.9 foot-long (1.5 m) sample from a cross cut on the 300 level contained 2.2 oz Au/ton (68.4g/t). The high grade veins occur within a broader zone of intense quartz-sericite alteration, which has previously been mapped as a rhyolite. Most of the mine dumps are composed of this “rhyolite”, and Congdon and Carey measured approximately 8,000 tons of this material containing from 0.09 to 0.21 oz Au/ton (3.07 to 7.1 g/t Au). Gold occurs in iron oxide-filled fractures along with druzy quartz veinlets, and there is occasional visible gold. Detailed mapping around the old workings of the Lazy Man mine has delineated a zone of intense acid-leaching in intrusive porphyritic rocks and volcanic agglomerates primarily in the footwall of the vein. The rock now has a porous and vuggy appearance; this style of alteration is interpreted to be “Vuggy Silica” alteration that is typical of the upper levels of high-sulfidation ore deposits. Surrounding the vuggy silica zone is a zone of strong argillic alteration. Recent work has discovered previously unrecognized mineralized zones east of and parallel to the Lazy Man vein that contain silicified, brecciated outcrops assaying 2.26 g/t Au and 8,150 ppm As. These zones have been traced for over 1,200 feet (365 m) and are up to 60 feet (18 m) wide.

Eastern barite – copper zone – A large zone of intense bleaching containing barite and copper oxide showings has been exposed by numerous trenches and prospect pits. The host rock appears to be the older meta-volcanic and meta-sediment package.

Southeast copper showings – There are several strong, northwest- and northeast-trending copper-quartz veins cutting the older meta volcanic-sediment package of rocks. Adits and prospect pits explore zones of visible copper oxide. A small copper oxide leaching tank near the largest adit is full of high-grade copper oxide.

Loman antimony mine - The Loman mine is an old antimony mine developed along a five foot-wide, quartz vein-fault breccia zone containing visible stibnite and antimony oxide minerals.

Western skarn zones - Earlier exploration work has trenched along a skarn zone and exposed heavy gossan zones with locally abundant copper oxide. A small inclined shaft explores the down-dip extension of the zone. The zone trends about N 70o E, contains numerous anomalous samples, and extends into the zone of strong IP response.

IP anomaly zone - In this area, there are a number of silicified, iron-oxide stained, jasperoid zones associated with structures in platey limestones. These silicified zones are on the periphery of the IP chargeability responses and are interpreted to be the result of hydrothermal fluids from an intrusive source. Another alteration feature in this zone is black calcite veins in the platey limestone. These veins often form a stockwork pattern and locally contain sulfide minerals. The veins are interpreted to be the result of hydrothermal fluids replacing carbonate material with silica to form jasperoids at depth and then transporting the carbonate into the fractured, overlying rocks. Within the area of black calcite veinlets, there are wide zones of bleached, mildly iron oxide-stained platey limestones with thin quartz veinlets and disseminated pyrite casts.

Exploration program

Phase I of the Garfield Flats exploration program will consist of reconnaissance prospecting, geological mapping, surface trenching, relocating historical workings and ground based geophysical surveys. This reconnaissance program will provide accurate modern data to assist in the planning of the phase II drill program. Phase I is set to begin in spring of 2018 and last for three to four weeks, with phase II expected to begin following the compilation of the phase I results, later in 2018.

Lapon Canyon Property

On December 17, 2015, we entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) with Nevada Canyon Gold Corporation, to acquire all of NCG’s rights, titles and interests in and into an exploration agreement with an option to form a joint venture with Walker River Resources Corp. dated September 15, 2015. WRR owns a 100% undivided interest in and to the Lapon Canyon Gold Property, containing the Lapon Canyon claims (“the Property”), which is the subject of the Agreement.

The Agreement did not grant us an interest in or to the Property, or any equity interest in WRR, but rather, granted us the right to earn up to an undivided 50% interest in the Property by incurring $500,000 (over a two-year period) in eligible exploration and other expenses required to carry out an Exploration Program established and operated by WRR on the Property (the “Eligible Expenses”). On October 15, 2016, we incurred required $250,000 in Eligible Expenses, and earned the 25% interest to the Property.

On July 5, 2017, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with WRR on the Property. As at the date of the Purchase Agreement our interest in the Property was 30%. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement WRR agreed to buy back our 30% interest in the Lapon Canyon Project in exchange for 9,100,000 common shares of WRR and warrants to acquire an additional 11,900,000 common shares. Each WRR Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years without further consideration into one common share in the capital of WRR. The terms of the WRR Warrants contain a provision which prevents us from exercising any of the WRR Warrants which would result in us owning 10% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of WRR. The above securities were issued on July 18, 2017, upon acceptance of the Purchase Agreement by the TSX Venture Exchange, and were subject to a hold period which expired on November 20, 2017.

Location and means of access

The Lapon Canyon Gold Project (the “Lapon Project”, or the “Property”) consists of 36 claims (720 acres) situated in the Wassuk Range, easily accessible by secondary state roads from the main highway (40 miles) south of Yerington, Nevada. A state grid power transmission line passes within 2 miles of the Property.

Geology and Mineralization

The Lapon Project is located within the Walker Lane shear zone, a 60 mile wide structural corridor extending in a southeast direction from Reno, Nevada. Within this trend, numerous gold, silver, and copper mines are located, notably the historic Comstock Lode mines in Virginia City, the past producing Esmeralda/Aurora gold mine, with reported production of some one million ounces, as well as the Anaconda open pit copper mine in Yerington. Nevada Copper’s new mine, Pumpkin Hollow, is also located within the Wassuk Range about 15 miles north of Lapon.

The Lapon project is cut by a series of steeply dipping cross fault structures cutting across the Walker trend, analogous to other cross fault structures responsible for many gold and base metal deposits in the world. These faults are heavily sheared and altered (sericite, iron oxides) with abundant silica. They vary in width from 200 to 1000 feet. Four of these structures have been discovered at Lapon, and at least two can be traced for over three miles. Gold mineralization is located within echelon structures within these faults. At least one of these shear zones, the Lapon Rose zone was the site of underground development, and shows a minimum strike length of 3 miles, has a width of over 200 feet and has a vertical extent of at least 2000 feet.

Exploration history

Small scale high grade mining began on the project in 1914. Approximately 2000 feet of drifts and raises were developed from two adits and a two-stamp mill was built. Further limited underground work was carried out, returning numerous assay values in the range of one ounce per ton, with a sample at the end of an adit returning 20.6 ounces per ton. (National Instrument 43-101, Montgomery and Barr, 2004)

2015 Exploration program

Walker River Resources Corp. began its initial exploration work in April 2015 with significant exploration progress made during 2015. Within the upper Lapon Rose Zone, gold mineralization in the form of Visible Gold was noted in two different locations within the upper adit. Due to intense alteration and shearing the on-site identification was found to be rather difficult; the samples were cut and studied using a microscope. The assays confirmed that the in situ rock is Porphyry, in all probabilities, a quart monzonite intrusive. Copper mineralization, in the form of malachite and chalcopyrite, has also been identified within the Lapon Rose Zone.

During the same exploration program a newly discovered shear/altered zone was discovered some 2000 feet east of the Lapon Rose Zone. Evidence of mining activities within this previously unknown zone were discovered with evidence of a collapsed mine portal.

Finally, another shear zone, some 3300 feet west of the Lapon Rose Zone, shows intense iron oxide mineralization and silicification, with the presence of a previously unknown adit into the center of this zone.

In the end of 2015, Walker River Resources Corp. completed an initial 5-hole reverse circulation (“RC”) drill program totaling 2,500 feet on the Lapon Canyon Gold Project. The drill program was designed to test and confirm mineralization in an around the historical workings and mining on the Lapon Gold Project. The initial drill results confirmed the potential for the emplacement of significant gold mineralization on the Lapon Project.

2016 Exploration Program

During 2016, we completed a 9-hole RC drill program totaling 3,400 feet on the Lapon Project. The drill program was designed to build on the results received from the 2015 drill program carried out by Walker River Resources Corp. continuing to test and confirm mineralization in and around the historical workings and mining on the Lapon Project.

RC drill hole LC 16-10 was designed to verify the position of previously reported, presently inaccessible mined out area. The drill hole successfully intersected the mined-out stope at the reported location and verified the width at some 26 feet at a depth of 223 feet. It is significant that the gold mineralization encountered in LC 16-10 was encountered from 180.12 to 220.14 feet, only 2.62 feet from the stope.

The additional drill results from the 2016 drill program continue to confirm the potential for the emplacement of significant gold mineralization on the Lapon Project.

Sampling Methodology, Chain of Custody, Quality Control and Quality Assurance

All sampling was conducted under the supervision of our project geologists and the chain of custody, from the drill to the sample preparation facility, was continuously monitored. A blank or certified reference material was inserted approximately every tenth sample. The Lapon samples were delivered to ALS Minerals certified laboratory facility in Reno, NV. The samples were crushed, pulverized and the sample pulps digested and analyzed for gold using fire assay fusion and a 50g gravimetric finish. Higher grade samples used a 1kg screen fire assay with screen to 100 microns and 50g gravimetric finish.

Competition

The mineral exploration business is an extremely competitive industry. We are competing with many other exploration companies looking for minerals. We are one of the smallest exploration companies and a very small participant in the mineral exploration business. Being a junior mineral exploration company, we compete with other similar companies for financing and joint venture partners, and for resources such as professional geologists, camp staff, helicopters and mineral exploration contractors and supplies. We do not represent a competitive presence in the industry.

Raw materials

The raw materials for our exploration programs include camp equipment, hand exploration tools, sample bags, first aid supplies, groceries and propane. All of these types of materials are readily available from a variety of local suppliers.

Dependence on Customers

As a junior exploration company, we have no customers.

Trademarks and Patents

We have no intellectual property such as patents or trademarks and, other than the obligation under our option to acquire an interest in the Lapon Canyon Project that we discussed under the “Business” section, no royalty agreements or labor contracts.

Need For Any Government Approval of Principal Products or Services

We are not required to obtain permits or submit operational plans in order to conduct exploration on the Garfield Flats Project. The mining business, however, is subject to various levels of government controls and regulations, which are supplemented and revised from time to time. We cannot predict what additional legislation or revisions might be proposed that could affect our business or when any proposals, if enacted, might become effective. Such changes, however, could require more operating capital and expenditures and could prevent or delay some of our operations.

The various levels of government controls and regulations address, among other things, the environmental impact of mining and mineral processing operations. For mining and processing, legislation and regulations in various jurisdictions establish performance standards, air and water quality emission standards and other design or operational requirements for various components of operations, including health and safety standards. Legislation and regulations also establish requirements for decommissioning, reclaiming and rehabilitating mining properties following the cessation of operations, and may require that some former mining properties be managed for long periods of time. As we are not mining or processing, and are unlikely to do so for some years, we have not investigated these regulations.

None of the exploration work that we have completed to date requires an environmental permit, however, we must ensure timely repair of any damage done to the land during exploration.

We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all material government controls and regulations on the Garfield Flats Project.

Research and Development

We have not spent any money on research and development activities.

Employees

At the present time, we do not have any employees other than our sole officer who devotes his time as needed to our business and expects to devote 10 hours per week in 2018.

Legal Proceedings

We are not involved in any legal proceedings nor are we aware of any pending or threatened litigation against us. Neither our sole officer nor our directors are party to any legal proceeding or litigation. None of our directors or our sole officer has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor relating to securities or performance in corporate office.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We are subject to those financial risks generally associated with early stage enterprises. Since we have sustained losses since inception, we will require financing to fund our development activities and to support our operations and will independently seek additional financing. However, we may be unable to obtain such financing. We are also subject to risk factors specific to our business strategy and the mining and exploration industry.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY AND INDUSTRY

The following are certain risk factors that could affect our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. These risk factors should be considered along with the forward-looking statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K because these factors could cause our actual results or financial condition to differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements. The following discussion is not an all-inclusive listing of risks, although we believe these are the more material risks that we face. If any of the following occur, our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows could be negatively affected. We caution the reader to keep these risk factors in mind and refrain from attributing undue certainty to any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Annual Report.

We are a junior exploration company incorporated on February 27, 2014 and for the period from February 27, 2014 (inception) through December 31, 2017, we only generated $24,000 in revenues from our consulting services. We have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our future prospects can be made. From February 27, 2014 (inception) to December 31, 2017, we have retained earning of $749,641, of which $2,262,519 resulted from gain we recorded on sale of our interest in Lapon Claims to WRR in exchange for 9,100,000 common shares of WRR and warrants to acquire an additional 11,900,000 common shares. These details must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by new entrants into the mining and mineral exploration industry. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is highly dependent upon a number of factors. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur losses in future periods as we incur expenses associated with our operations and exploration programs. Further, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in realizing future revenues or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible closure of our business or force us to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of our equity securities to continue business operations, which would dilute the value of any shares.

As a public company, we will have to comply with numerous financial reporting and legal requirements, including those pertaining to audits and internal control. The costs of this compliance could be significant. If our revenues are insufficient, and/or we cannot satisfy many of these costs through the issuance of our shares, we may be unable to satisfy these costs in the normal course of business that would result in our being unable to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered auditors’ report includes an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our auditor’s report on the December 31, 2017 financial statements expresses an opinion that substantial doubt exits as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business. Moreover, our officers may be unable or unwilling to loan or advance us any funds. See “Audited Financial Statements – Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm”

We had a net income of $1,186,144 for the year ended December 31, 2017, of which $2,262,519 resulted from gain we recorded on sale of our interest in Lapon Claims to WRR in exchange for 9,100,000 common shares of WRR and warrants to acquire an additional 11,900,000 common shares. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing, gainfully sell shares of WRR, and upon future profitable operations. We have no immediate plans to sell our investment in WRR and plan to seek additional funds through private placements of our common stock which may result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event we cannot continue in existence.

Key management personnel may leave us, which could adversely affect our ability to continue operations.

We are entirely dependent on the efforts of Jeffrey Cocks, our president and director, and Michael Levine, a director. The loss of our officer and directors, or of other key personnel hired in the future, could have a material adverse effect on the business and its prospects. There is currently no employment contract by and between any officer/director and us. Also, there is no guarantee that replacement personnel, if any, will help us to operate profitably. They have been, and continue to expect to be able to commit approximately 10 hours per week of their time, to the continued implementation of our business plan. If management is required to spend additional time with their outside employment, they may not have sufficient time to devote to us and we would be unable to continue to implement our business plan resulting in the business failure.

We do not maintain key person life insurance on our officer and directors.

If we are unable to generate cash from our operations, we may sell our equity investment in WRR or obtain additional funding which may cause substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.

As of December 31, 2017, we had $2,981 in cash on hand and $1,418,929 in assets. From April 2014 to December 31, 2017, our initial three shareholders have advanced us $127,132 to cover our working capital expenses. We have raised $85,000 in our initial public offering and $375,000 in private placement. If we are unable to develop our business or secure additional funds we will have no choice but to sell our equity investment in WRR, or our business would fail and our shares may be rendered worthless. To preserve our equity investment in WRR we may seek to obtain debt financing, which may result in substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders. There can also be no assurance that we will be able to successfully dispose of our equity investment in WRR to satisfy our operating needs. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business operations. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will likely be required to curtail our business plans and possibly cease our operations.

General domestic and international economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and common stock price and our ability to obtain additional financing.

As a result of the current economic downturn and macro-economic challenges currently affecting the economy of the United States and other parts of the world, some of the exploration programs that we may plan could suffer delays or postponement until the economy strengthens, which could in turn effect our ability to obtain additional financing. We anticipate our revenues to be derived from the sale of ore, which could suffer if customers are suffering from the economic downturn. During weak economic conditions, we may not experience any growth if we are unable to obtain financing to enable us to continue our planned operations.

Because Jeffrey Cocks, our officer and director and Michael Levine, our director, reside outside of the United States, it may be difficult for an investor to enforce any right based on U.S. federal securities laws against Messrs. Cocks and Levine, or to enforce a judgment rendered by a United States court against Messrs. Cocks and Levine.

While our principal office and operations are located in the United States, Mr. Cocks, our officer and director and Mr. Levine, our director, are non-residents of the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult to effect service of process on Messrs. Cocks and Levine in the United States, and it may be difficult to enforce any judgment rendered against Messrs. Cocks and Levine. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for an investor to bring an action against Messrs. Cocks and Levine in the event that an investor believes that such investor’s rights have been infringed under the U.S. securities laws, or otherwise. Even if an investor is successful in bringing an action of this kind, it is uncertain whether the laws of Canada may enable that investor to enforce a judgment against the assets of Messrs. Cocks and Levine. As a result, our shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests through actions against our management, directors or major shareholders, compared to shareholders of a corporation whose officers and directors reside within the United States.

We do not have any intellectual property and, if we develop any, may not be able to adequately protect it from infringement by third parties.

Our business plan is significantly dependent upon results of our exploration activities on the Lapon Canyon Gold Property. We do not currently have any intellectual property. In the event that we develop intellectual property in the future, there can be no assurance that we will be able to control all of the rights for all of our future intellectual property or trade secrets that we may develop. We may not have the resources necessary to assert infringement claims against third parties who may infringe upon these future intellectual property rights. Litigation can be costly and time consuming and divert the attention and resources of management and key personnel. We cannot assure you that we can adequately protect any future intellectual property or successfully prosecute potential infringement of any future intellectual property rights. Also, we cannot assure you that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other proprietary rights that we may obtain, or that we will be able to successfully resolve these types of conflicts to our satisfaction. Our failure to protect any future intellectual property rights may result in a loss of revenue and could materially adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

Our officer and directors may have conflicts in allocating their time to our business.

Our officer and directors are required to commit time to our affairs and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating management time among various business activities including Mr. Cocks’ competing businesses. Mr. Levine’s current business in Canada is limited to music royalties, primarily the licensing of the rock group Triumph’s music rights; therefore, we do not believe that he presently has any conflicts with us. In the course of other business activities, they may become aware of business opportunities that may be appropriate for presentation to us, as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. Messrs. Cocks and Levine have orally agreed that any business opportunities that they come across in the United States will be presented to our Company and that any opportunities that they come across in Canada will be made available to their other businesses.

We cannot provide assurances that our efforts to eliminate the potential impact of conflicts of interest will be effective.

We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act that will require us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs could reduce or eliminate our ability to earn a profit.

We are required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In order to comply with these requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm will have to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this time because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will have a major effect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit. We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from any new requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.

Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

Our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

Our board of directors has significant control over us and we have not established committees comprised of independent directors.

We have only two directors one of whom holds all of our officer positions. Accordingly, we cannot establish board committees comprised of independent members to oversee functions like compensation or audit issues. In addition, since we only have two directors, they have significant control over all corporate issues. We do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors. Our two directors performing these functions are not independent directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict in that our directors are also engaged in management and participate in decisions concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management performance.

Until we have a larger board of directors that would include some independent members, if ever, there will be limited oversight of our directors’ decisions and activities and little ability for minority shareholders to challenge or reverse those activities and decisions, even if they are not in the best interests of minority shareholders.

We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

As an “Emerging Growth Company” under The Jobs Act, we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period. Even if we no longer qualify for the exemptions for an emerging growth company, we may still be, in certain circumstances, subject to scaled disclosure requirements as a smaller reporting company. For example, smaller reporting companies, like emerging growth companies, are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis under Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K or auditor attestation of internal controls over financial reporting.

Until such time, however, we cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Our mineral claims have no known reserves.

The probability of a mining claim having the necessary quantity and quality of ore to result in a profitable mining operation is uncertain and our claims, even with large investments by us, may never generate a profit.

We are dependent upon the successful exploration of our mining claims and the discovery of valuable mineralization on those claims for our success. Should we fail to locate economically extractable mineralization on our mineral claims, or enter into an agreement to option and sell our interests to mining production Company, we will have no revenue and our business will fail.

Mineral deposit estimates are imprecise and subject to error.

Mineral deposit estimation calculations, when made, may prove unreliable. Assumptions made regarding the supporting data may prove inaccurate and unforeseen events may lead to further inaccuracies. Sample variability, mining and processing adjustments, environmental changes, metal price fluctuations, and law and regulation changes are all factors that could lead to deviances from any original estimations. Our current mineral claims have no known ore reserves. Despite future investment in exploration activities, there is no guarantee we will locate a commercially viable ore deposit or reserve. Most exploration projects do not result in discovery of commercially viable and mineable ore deposits. With little capital available, we may have to limit our exploration efforts, which decrease the chances of finding a commercially viable ore body. Even if potentially promising mineralization is identified, we may not be able to put our claims into production due to many factors, including high extraction costs, low gold prices, or inadequate amount and reduced recovery rates. If the exploration activities do not suggest a commercially successful prospect we may have to abandon our plans to pursue efforts to develop the claims.

Our future exploratory operations may be adversely affected by future governmental and environmental regulations and permitting.

Environmental regulations may negatively affect the progression of operations and these regulations may become stricter in the future. In the U.S., all mining is regulated by Federal and State level government agencies. Obtaining licenses and permits from these agencies as well as an environmental impact study for each mining property must be completed before starting mining activities. These are expensive and affect the timing of operations. Pollution can be anticipated with mining activities. If we are unable to comply with current or future regulations, we may expose ourselves to fines, penalties and litigation that could cause our business to fail.

Further, the laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any government body, organization or regulatory agency in the U.S. or Nevada may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter our ability to carry on our business.

The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have a detrimental effect on us. Any or all of these situations may have a negative impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitably.

We are subject to inherent mining hazards and risks that may result in future financial obligations.

Risks and hazards associated with the mining industry may adversely affect our operations such as, but not limited to, political and country risks, industrial accidents, labor disputes, inability to retain necessary personnel or equipment, environmental hazards, unexpected geologic formations, cave-ins, landslides, flooding and monsoons, fires, explosions, power outages, processing problems. Personal injury and death could result, as well as property damage, delays in mining, environmental damage, legal liability and monetary loss. We may not be able to obtain insurance to cover these risks at economically reasonable premiums. We do not carry any sort of insurance and may have difficulties obtaining such once operations start as insurance is generally sparse and cost prohibitive.

Our financial performance depends on the successful operation of our exploration activities, which are subject to various operational risks.

There is no assurance we will be successful in our mining exploration activities. Our financial performance depends on the successful operation of our future exploration activities. The cost of operation and maintenance, and the results of the proposed activities may be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including the following:

Any of these events could significantly increase the expenses incurred our planned and future exploration activities and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, future results and cash flow, if any.

In addition, our exploration activities would be subject to substantial risks, including:

As all our mineral claims are in the pre-exploration stage, there can be no assurance that we will identify commercially viable qualities and quantities of mineralization on the claims.

Exploration for mineralization is subject to a number of risk factors. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Our mineral claims are in the pre-exploration stage and are without any identified economically extractable mineralization. We may not establish commercially viable quantities and qualities of economically extractable mineralization on our mineral claims and, even if we do, there is no guarantee that we will be able to interest a third-party mining company to enter into a business arrangement, e.g., option to purchase arrangement with us, which could cause our business to fail.

Because we anticipate our operating expenses will increase prior to us earning revenues, we may never achieve profitability.

Prior to completion of the exploration stage, we anticipate incurring increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues, and therefore incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the exploration of our mineral claims, we will not be able to earn profits or continue future proposed operations, which will adversely affect us. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide no assurance that we will generate any revenues or ever achieve profitability. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as it conducts its business.

The search for valuable mineralization involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. At the present time we do not have any coverage to insure against these hazards. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

If our exploration costs are higher than anticipated, then our exploration activities will be adversely affected.

If our exploration costs will surpass our budgeted costs, then we will not be able to carry out all of our planned exploration of the claims. Factors that could cause exploration costs to increase are: adverse weather conditions, difficult terrain and shortages of qualified personnel, among others.

The price of gold is volatile and a decrease in gold prices could cause us to incur losses.

We will be exploring primarily for gold on the claims. The profitability of gold exploration and production is directly related to the prevailing market price for gold. The market prices of metals, including the gold market, fluctuate significantly and are affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the rate of inflation, the exchange rate of the dollar to other currencies, interest rates, and global economic and political conditions. Price fluctuations in gold market from the time exploration is undertaken and the time production can commence can significantly affect the profitability of a mine. Accordingly, we may begin to explore for gold at a time when the price of gold or other related mineral make such exploration economically feasible and, subsequently, incur losses because prices have decreased. Adverse fluctuations of metals market prices or the continued decline in the gold market, generally, may force us to curtail or cease our operations.

The costs of compliance with environmental laws and of obtaining and maintaining environmental permits and governmental approvals required for construction and/or operation, which currently are significant, may increase in the future and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, future results and cash flow; any non-compliance with such laws or regulations may result in the imposition of liabilities which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, future results and cash flow.

We are required to comply with numerous federal, state and local statutory and regulatory environmental standards and to maintain numerous environmental permits and governmental approvals required for construction and/or operation. Some of the environmental permits and governmental approvals that may be issued to us may contain conditions and restrictions, including restrictions or limits on emissions and discharges of pollutants and contaminants, or may have limited terms. If we fail to satisfy these conditions or comply with these restrictions, or with any statutory or regulatory environmental standards, we may become subject to regulatory enforcement action and the operation of the projects could be adversely affected or be subject to fines, penalties or additional costs. In addition, we may not be able to renew, maintain or obtain all environmental permits and governmental approvals required for the continued operation or further development of the projects.

Our operations are subject to permitting requirements which could require us to delay, suspend or terminate our operations on our exploration claims.

Our exploration activities on our claims may require permits from the BLM, and several other governmental agencies. We may be unable to obtain these permits in a timely manner, on reasonable terms or at all. If we cannot obtain or maintain the necessary permits, or if there is a delay in receiving these permits, our timetable and business plan for exploration of our exploration claims will be adversely affected.

Our exploration activities may not be commercially successful, which could lead us to abandon our plans to seek a mining production company to develop or purchase our exploration claims, and thereby lose the investment we made in our exploration claims.

Our long-term success depends on our ability to identify commercially viable and mineable mineralization deposits on our exploration claims that we can then, using our best business judgment, determine whether any such deposits can be developed into a commercially viable mining operation. Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and is frequently non-productive. These risks include unusual or unexpected geologic formations, and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor. The success of exploration is determined in part by the following factors:

Substantial expenditures are required to establish proven and probable reserves through drilling and analysis, to develop metallurgical processes to extract metal, and to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, which include, without limitation, the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices, which fluctuate widely; and government regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. We may invest significant capital and resources in exploration activities and abandon such investments if we are unable to identify commercially exploitable mineral deposits. The decision to abandon our mineral claims may have an adverse effect on the market value of our securities and our ability to raise future financing. We cannot assure you that we will discover or acquire any mineralized material in sufficient quantities on the Property to justify commercial operations, or that we will be able to find a mining operator who is willing and able to enter into a business venture with us.

A shortage of critical equipment, supplies, and resources could adversely affect our exploration activities.

We are dependent on the availability of certain equipment, supplies and resources for us to carry out our mining exploration activities, including input commodities, drilling equipment and skilled labor. A shortage in the market for any of these factors could cause unanticipated cost increases and delays in delivery times, which could in turn adversely impact exploration schedules and costs.

Historical production on our mineral claims may not be indicative of the potential for future development.

Our mineral claims are not in commercial production, and, since acquiring our interests, we have never recorded any revenues from commercial production on the claims. The fact that there were limited historical mining operations in the mining district surrounding the mineral claims should not be relied upon as an indication that we will ever find commercially mineable quantities and qualities of extractable mineralization on our claims or have future successful commercial operations on our mineral claims. In fact, based on the information available to us, which we have reviewed, none of the historical mining operations were successful.

If the development of one or more claims included in our claims portfolio is found to be economically feasible, such claims will be subject to all of the risks associated with establishing new mining operations.

If the development of one or more of our mining claims is found to be economically feasible, and we are unable to enter into a business arrangement with a mining company that engages in mining operations and production, such development will require obtaining permits and financing, and the construction and operation of mines, processing plants and related infrastructure. As a result, the project will be subject to all of the risks associated with establishing new mining operations, including:

The costs, timing and complexities of developing the joint venture projects may be greater than anticipated. Cost estimates may increase significantly as more detailed engineering work is completed on a project. It is common in mining operations to experience unexpected costs, problems and delays during construction, development and mine start-up. We cannot provide assurance that activities will result in profitable mining operations at the mineral claim, or that we will derive financial benefits from such operations. Any one or more of the events identified above could have a material adverse effect on any revenues we may anticipate receiving from our mineral claims.

Our operations involve significant risks and hazards inherent to the mining industry.

Our exploration operations may involve the operation of large pieces of drilling and other heavy equipment. Hazards such as fire, explosion, floods, structural collapses, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground control problems, cave-ins, flooding and mechanical equipment failure are inherent risks in our operations. Hazards inherent to the mining industry can cause injuries or death to employees, contractors or other persons on our mineral claims, severe damage to and destruction of our property, plant and equipment and mineral claims, and contamination of, or damage to, the environment can result in the suspension of our exploration activities and any future development and production activities. While the Company aims to maintain best safety practices as part of our culture, safety measures implemented by us may not be successful in preventing or mitigating future accidents.

In addition, from time to time we may be subject to governmental investigations and claims and litigation filed on behalf of persons who are harmed while working on our mineral claims or otherwise in connection with our operations. To the extent that we are subject to personal injury or other claims or lawsuits in the future, it may not be possible to predict the ultimate outcome of these claims and lawsuits due to the nature of personal injury litigation. Similarly, if we are subject to governmental investigations or proceedings, we may incur significant penalties and fines, and enforcement actions against us could result in the closing of certain of our mining operations. If claims and lawsuits or governmental investigations or proceedings are ultimately resolved against us, they could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, financial position and results of operations. Also, if we conduct mining operations on property without the appropriate licenses and approvals, we could incur liability or our operations could be suspended.

The mining industry is very competitive.

The mining industry is very competitive. Much of our competition is from larger, established mining companies with greater liquidity, greater access to credit and other financial resources, newer or more efficient equipment, lower cost structures, more effective risk management policies and procedures and/or a greater ability than us to withstand losses. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new laws or regulations or emerging technologies, or devote greater resources to the expansion or efficiency of their operations than we can. In addition, current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among current and new competitors may emerge and gain significant market share to our detriment. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The title to some of our mineral claims may be uncertain or defective, thus risking the investment in such claims.

The mineral claims to which we have options to buy, and those we may acquire in the future, if any, may be subject to prior recorded and unrecorded agreements, transfers or claims, and other undetected defects, which may result in defective title. A title defect on any of our mineral claims (or any portion thereof) could adversely affect our ability to mine the claims and/or process the minerals.

Title insurance is generally not available for mineral claims and our ability to ensure that we have obtained secure claim to individual mineral claims or mining concessions may be severely constrained. We rely on title information and/or representations and warranties provided by our grantors. Any challenge to titles could result in litigation, insurance claims and potential losses, delay the exploration and development of a claim and ultimately result in the loss of some or all of our interest in the claim. In addition, if we mine on a claim without the appropriate title, we could incur liability for such activities.

If we obtain insurance, it may not provide adequate coverage.

Our operations are subject to a number of risks and hazards including, but not limited to, adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, labor disputes, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground control problems, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment, metallurgical and other processing problems, mechanical equipment failure, facility performance problems, fires and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods and earthquakes. These risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, our mineral claims or exploration equipment, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in exploration, increased exploration costs, asset write downs, monetary losses and legal liability.

We do not currently have insurance and do not have any plans to obtain insurance. Insurance against certain risks, including those related to environmental matters or other hazards resulting from exploration, is generally not available to us or to other companies within the mining industry. In addition, we do not carry business interruption insurance relating to our mineral claims. Accordingly, delays in returning to any future exploration could produce near-term severe impact to our business. Any losses from these events may result in significant costs that could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, financial position and results of operations.

Changes in the market price of gold, silver and other metals, which in the past has fluctuated widely, will affect the profitability of our operations and financial condition.

Our profitability and long-term viability depend, in large part, upon the market price of gold, copper, silver and other metals and minerals which may be produced from our mineral claims, and from which we may derive revenues under any agreement we may enter into with a company that conducts mining operations on our claims. The market price of gold and other metals is volatile and is impacted by numerous factors beyond our control, including:

A material decrease in the market price of gold and other metals could affect the commercial viability of our mineral claims and any of our future anticipated development and production assumptions, if any. Lower gold prices could also adversely affect our ability to finance future development of our mining claims, all of which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the market price of gold and other metals will remain at current levels or that such prices will improve.

RISKS RELATED TO THE OWNERSHIP OF OUR SECURITIES

Participation is subject to risks of investing in micro capitalization companies.

Micro capitalization companies generally have limited product lines, markets, market shares and financial resources. The securities of such companies, if traded in the public market, may trade less frequently and in more limited volume than those of more established companies. Additionally, in recent years, the stock market has experienced a high degree of price and volume volatility for the securities of micro capitalization companies. In particular, micro capitalization companies that trade in the over-the-counter markets have experienced wide price fluctuations not necessarily related to the operating performance of such companies.

There has not been any established trading market for our common stock although our common stock is quoted on the OTC Link alternative trading system on the OTCQB marketplace and we are eligible with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to permit our shares to trade electronically. There can be no assurances as to whether

In addition, our common stock is unlikely to be followed by any market analysts, and there may be few institutions acting as market makers for our common stock. Either of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of our common stock. Until our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops in our common stock, if ever, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly. Prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock, developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of us and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common stock.

Because of the anticipated low price of the securities being registered, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in these securities. Purchasers of our securities should be aware that any market that develops in our stock would be subject to the penny stock restrictions.

Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $4.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $4.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions that are not available to us. It is likely that our shares will be considered to be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. This classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.

For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:

Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Additionally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if and when our securities become publicly traded.

In addition, the liquidity for our securities may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares, in all probability, will be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.

Our management believes that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities or securities regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as “Blue Sky” laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the blue sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state blue sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. These restrictions prohibit the secondary trading of our common stock. We currently do not intend to and may not be able to qualify securities for resale in at least 17 states which do not offer manual exemptions (or may offer manual exemptions) and require shares to be qualified before they can be resold by our shareholders. Accordingly, investors should consider the secondary market for our securities to be a limited one.

Because insiders control our activities, they may cause us to act in a manner that is most beneficial to them and not to outside shareholders, which could cause us not to take actions that outside investors might view favorably and which could prevent or delay a change in control.

Our three founders together own 29,700,000 common shares representing 66.6% of the outstanding common stock and our officer and directors hold approximately 44.6% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, they effectively control all matters requiring director and stockholder approval, including the election of directors, and the approval of significant corporate transactions, such as mergers and related party transactions. These insiders also have the ability to delay or perhaps even block, by their ownership of our stock, an unsolicited tender offer. This concentration of ownership could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company that you might view favorably.

The interests of shareholders may be hurt because we can issue shares of our common stock to individuals or entities that support existing management with such issuances serving to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of us.

Our directors have authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued common shares. Such issuances may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management and the interests of existing management which may not be the same as the interests of other shareholders. Our ability to issue shares without shareholder approval serves to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of us.

Our articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability that may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.

Our Articles of Incorporation at Article Nine provides for indemnification as follows: “Every person who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, or a person of whom he is the legal representative, is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director or Officer of another Corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless to the fullest extent legally permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada from time to time against all expenses, liability, and loss (including attorneys’ fees judgments, fines, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by him in connection therewith. Such right of indemnification shall be a contract right, which may be enforced in any manner desired by such person. The expenses of Officers and Directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding must be paid by the Corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Director or Officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation. Such right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other right which such Directors, Officers, or representatives may have or hereafter acquire, and, without limiting the generality of such statement, they shall be entitled to their respective rights of indemnification under any bylaw, agreement, vote of Stockholders, provision of law, or otherwise, as well as their rights under this Article. Without limiting the application of the foregoing, the Stockholders or Board of Directors may adopt bylaws from time to time with respect to indemnification, to provide at all times the fullest indemnification permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada, and may cause the Corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director or Officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director or Officer of another Corporation, or as its representative in a partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred in any such capacity or arising out of such status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person. The indemnification provided in this Article shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, Officer, Employee, or Agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.”

We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with our activities, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, either of which factors is likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares, if such a market ever develops.

We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and other factors that our directors will consider. Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock, return on your investment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any, in the market value of our common stock.

Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protection against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the Nasdaq Stock Market, as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than legally required, we have not yet adopted these measures.

Because our directors are not independent directors, we do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, our directors have the ability, among other things, to determine their own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.

We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it costlier or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.

The access to information regarding our business may become limited because our obligations to file periodic reports with the SEC could be automatically suspended under certain circumstances.

We are subject to certain informational requirements of the Exchange Act, as amended and we will be required to file periodic reports (i.e., annual, quarterly and special reports) with the SEC which will be immediately available to the public for inspection and copying. Except during the year that our registration statement becomes effective, these reporting obligations may (in our sole discretion) be automatically suspended under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act if we have less than 300 shareholders and do not file a registration statement on Form 8A. If this occurs after the year in which our registration statement becomes effective, we will no longer be obligated to file periodic reports with the SEC and the access to our business information would then be even more restricted. We will not be required to furnish proxy statements to security holders and our directors, officer and principal beneficial owners will not be required to report their beneficial ownership of securities to the SEC pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act until we have both 500 or more security holders that are not accredited investors (or, alternatively, 2,000 or more total shareholders) and greater than $10 million in assets. This means that the access to information regarding our business will be limited.

We will incur ongoing costs and expenses for SEC reporting and compliance; without revenue we may not be able to remain in compliance, making it difficult for investors to sell their shares, if at all.

Securities already quoted on the OTC Link alternative trading system on the OTCQB marketplace that become delinquent in their required filings are removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their required filing during that time. In order for us to remain in compliance we will require further funding to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to remain in compliance it may be difficult for our shareholders to resell any shares they may purchase, if at all.

For all of the foregoing reasons and others set forth herein, an investment in our securities in any market that may develop in the future involves a high degree of risk.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K constitute “forward-looking statements”. These statements, identified by words such as “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “should,” “expect” and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under this caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” and elsewhere in this Form 10-K. We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Results of Operations

General

The inclusion of supplementary analytical and related information herein may require us to make estimates and assumptions to enable us to fairly present, in all material respects, our analysis of trends and expectations with respect to our results of operations and financial position taken as a whole. Actual results may vary from the estimates and assumptions we make.

Results of Operation

Revenues. Due to the exploration rather than the production nature of our business, we did not have any revenue associated with our main business activities; furthermore, we do not expect to have significant operating revenue in the foreseeable future.

Operating expenses. Our operating expenses include exploration expenses, general and administrative expenses, professional fees and transfer agent and filing fees. During the year ended December 31, 2017, our operating expenses increased by $440,719, or 148.18%, to $738,147 for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to $297,428 for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The most significant year-to-date changes included the following:

Other items. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded $2,262,519 gain from the sale of our 30% interest in the Lapon Canyon Gold Property to WRR in exchange for 9,100,000 common shares and warrants to acquire an additional 11,900,000 common shares of WRR. At the time of the transaction the fair market value of the shares was determined to be $1,008,869 based on then current share price of $0.11 (CAD$0.14) per share, and the fair market value of WRR Warrants was determined to be $1,318,650 using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model at the issuance date using the following assumptions: expected warrant life of 5 years, expected dividend yield of 0%, an average risk-free interest rate of 1.48% and an average expected stock price volatility of 155.82%.

In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2017, we received $20,000 for consulting services from an arms-length party.

Deferred tax expense.

The sale of our 30% interest in the Lapon Canyon Project in exchange for 9,100,000 common shares of WRR and warrants to acquire an additional 11,900,000 common shares resulted in a deferred tax expense of $358,228.

Net income (loss). At December 31, 2017, we recorded net income of $1,186,144, as compared to net loss of $297,509 for the year ended December 31, 2016. The change from net loss to net income resulted from the valuation of WRR shares and WRR Warrants we received in exchange for our 30% interest in the Lapon Canyon Gold Property, which were in part offset by our operating expenses and deferred tax expense.

Comprehensive income (loss). As at December 31, 2017, our comprehensive income included $652,722 loss on fair value of equity investments (net of tax effects of $336,250), which resulted from revaluation of WRR Shares and WRR Warrants we received in exchange for our 30% interest in Lapon Canyon Gold Property. The loss resulted mainly from the decrease in market price of WRR’s common stock from the initial CAD$0.14/share to CAD$0.08/share at December 31, 2017, and to a small extent from fluctuation of exchange rates between the US and Canadian dollars.

The fair market value of WRR Warrants was revalued using the Black-Scholes Option pricing model at the reporting date using the following assumptions: expected warrant life of 4.55 years, expected dividend yield of 0%, an average risk-free interest rate of 1.86% and an average expected stock price volatility of 157.85%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

As of December 31, 2017, we had a cash balance of $2,981, and working capital deficit of $761,702 with cash flows used in operations totaling $68,788 for the period then ended. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we funded our operations with $55,000 non-interest bearing advance we received from an arm’s length party, $20,000 we received on account of our consulting services, and with $34,132 in advances we received from our directors.

We did not generate sufficient cash flows from our operating activities to satisfy our cash requirements for the year ended December 31, 2017. There is no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from our operations to repay the amounts owing under these notes and advances payable, or to service our other debt obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from our operations to repay the amounts owing when due, we may be required to raise additional financing from other sources.

To provide us with the necessary capital to accomplish our plan of operation we intend to seek additional financing in the form of equity or debt. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional capital. If we are unable to secure additional capital through equity or debt financing, we may choose to sell all or part of our investment in WRR.

Cash Flow

Net cash used in operating activities: Our net cash used in operating activities decreased by $227,944, or 76.82%, to $68,788 for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared with $296,732 for the year ended December 31, 2016. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we used $653,147 to cover our cash operating costs, this use of cash was offset by decrease in our prepaid expenses of $6,759, by increase in our accounts payable of $142,600, of which $120,000 was associated with review and compilation of available geological technical materials and data for the Garfield Flats Project, and by $435,000 increase in related party payables, which were associated with $240,000 in consulting fees payable to Mr. Levine and to a company controlled by Mr. Cocks, as well as with $200,000 bonus payable to Mr. Levine and Mr. Cocks ($100,000 each) in relation to the completion of the Walker River transaction.

During the year ended December 31, 2016 we used $289,428 to cover our cash operating costs, and to increase our prepaid expenses by $14,098. These uses of cash were offset by increase in our accounts payable of $6,794.

Certain non-cash transactions: During the year ended December 31, 2017, our operating costs included $2,262,519 gain, offset by a $358,228 deferred tax expense, from the sale of our 30% interest in the Lapon Canyon Gold Property to WRR in exchange for 9,100,000 common shares and warrants to acquire an additional 11,900,000 common shares of WRR. In addition we recorded $65,000 as fair market value of 500,000 common shares we issued for consulting fees to an arms-length party.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, our operating costs included $2,918 in accrued interest on $100,000 note payable we issued to an arms-length party, and $2,837 we recorded on recapture of the accrued interest associated with reduction of the interest rate charged on the $100,000 note payable. In addition, we recorded $8,000 in share-based payment we recorded on issuance of 800,000 common shares to NCG in exchange for its intangible assets, including its corporate name, domain name and all related content.

Net cash used in investing activities: During the year ended December 31, 2017, we paid $15,000 as an initial payment to acquire Garfield Property pursuant to our exploration lease and option to purchase agreement with Goodsprings Development LLC. In addition, we paid $54,152 to acquire an additional 69 Orsa Claims and 75 Lazy Claims in the vicinity of our Garfield Flats Project.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we did not have any investing transactions that would have affected our cash flows.

Net cash provided by financing activities: Our net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $220,362, or 71.2%, from $309,494 we financed during the year ended December 31, 2016, to $89,132 we financed during the year ended December 31, 2017. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we received $55,000 non-interest bearing advance from an arm’s length party; in addition, we advanced $34,132 from our directors. All advances are interest free and due on demand.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we received $375,000 in gross proceeds from a private placement for 3,750,000 shares of our common stock at $0.10 per share, which we closed on June 21, 2016, and $35,000 as a non-interest bearing advance from our CEO and President.

On August 1, 2016, we renegotiated the terms of the note payable, extending the maturity date to August 2, 2016, and reducing the interest rate to 0.75% per annum. We repaid the note payable and accrued interest totaling $100,506 in accordance with the new terms on August 2, 2016.

Going Concern

At December 31, 2017, we had a working capital deficit of $761,702 and cash on hand of $2,981, which is not sufficient enough to carry out our current plan of operation. Our capital assets include equity investment in WRR shares and warrants, which we can use as a source of additional cash inflow, should we decide to sell all or part of our investment. In addition, we are actively pursuing other means of financing our operations through additional equity and/or debt financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to procure funds sufficient to support our day-to-day operations and exploration programs. If operating difficulties or other factors (many of which are beyond our control) delay our realization of revenues or cash flows from operations, we may be limited in our ability to pursue our business plan. Moreover, if our resources from obtaining additional capital or cash flows from operations, once we commence them, do not satisfy our operational needs or if unexpected expenses arise due to unanticipated pressures or if we decide to expand our business plan beyond its currently anticipated level or otherwise, we will require additional financing to fund our operations, in addition to anticipated cash generated from our operations. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. In a worst-case scenario, we might not be able to fund our operations or to remain in business, which could result in a total loss of our stockholders’ investment. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly issued securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders.

Deferred Tax Liability

At December 31, 2017, we had $21,978 in deferred tax liabilities associated with our equity investment in WRR as a result of the sale of our 30% interest in Lapon Canyon Gold Project to WRR.

Impact of Inflation

We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past fiscal year.

Capital Expenditures

During the year ended December 31, 2017 we paid $15,000 as an initial payment to acquire Garfield Property pursuant to our exploration lease and option to purchase agreement with Goodsprings Development LLC. In addition, we paid $54,152 to acquire an additional 69 Orsa Claims and 75 Lazy Claims in the vicinity of our Garfield Flats Project.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Pronouncements

We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact our financial statements and do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations except for the following:

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01 (ASU 2016-01) “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. The most significant impact to our financial statements relates to the recognition and measurement of equity investments at fair value in our statement of opoerations. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 will increase the volatility of our other income (expense) as a result of the remeasurement of our equity investment through net income.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

NEVADA CANYON GOLD CORP.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2017 AND 2016

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Nevada Canyon Gold Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has limited liquidity and has not completed its efforts to establish a source of revenue sufficient to cover operating costs over an extended period of time. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on February 27, 2014. On July 6, 2016, the Company changed its name from Tech Foundry Ventures, Inc. to Nevada Canyon Gold Corp.

On April 28, 2016, the Company split its common stock on a 10:1 basis. All shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to account for the split.

Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has only recently begun its exploration operations and has not generated or realized any revenues from these business operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management intends to obtain additional funding by borrowing funds, and/or a private placement of common stock.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with US GAAP, and are presented in United States dollars.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the fair value of stock-based compensation, impairment of its interest in a mineral property, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Basis of Accounting

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting, except for cash flow information.

Equity Investments

Equity investments are classified as available for sale and are stated at fair market value. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Income Taxes

Income tax expense is based on pre-tax financial accounting income. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carry forwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

Income/ Loss per Share

The Company’s basic income/loss per share is calculated by dividing its net income/loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company’s dilutive income/loss per share is calculated by dividing its net loss available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash, accounts payable, related party advances, and notes and advances payable. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Cash is measured at fair value using level 1 inputs.

Stock-Based Compensation

For equity awards, such as stock options, total compensation cost is based on the grant date fair value and for liability awards, such as stock appreciation rights, total compensation cost is based on the settlement value. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for all awards over the service period required to earn the award, which is the shorter of the vesting period or the time period an employee becomes eligible to retain the award at retirement.

Mineral Property Interests

Costs of exploration and costs of carrying and retaining unproven properties are expensed as incurred. The Company considers mineral rights to be tangible assets and accordingly, the Company capitalizes certain costs related to the acquisition of mineral rights.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue consists of service revenue generated from management and consulting services. Revenue is recognized when services have been delivered, the amount is fixed or determinable, collection is probable and cost incurred or to incur can be measured reliably.

Reclassification

Certain prior period numbers have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations except for the following:

In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01 (ASU 2016-01) “Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” ASU 2016-01 amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual reporting periods and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. The most significant impact to our financial statements relates to the recognition and measurement of equity investments at fair value in our statement of operations. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 will increase the volatility of our other income (expense) as a result of the remeasurement of our equity investment through net income.

NOTE 3 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Amounts due to related parties at December 31, 2017 and 2016:

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company received $14,132 as a non-interest bearing advance from the Company’s CEO and $20,000 as a non-interest bearing advance from the Company’s director.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company repaid $5,000 in prior reimbursable expenses due to the company controlled by the CEO. Consulting fees of $120,000 were accrued to the company controlled by the CEO and $120,000 in consulting fees were accrued to a director of the Company.

A bonus of $200,000 was accrued to the CEO and a director in relation to the completion of the Walker River transaction (Note 5).

NOTE 4 – MINERAL PROPERTY INTERESTS

Lapon Canyon Gold Property

On December 17, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Nevada Canyon Gold Corporation, a Nevada privately held corporation with the President and CEO in common (“NCG”), to acquire all of NCG’s rights, titles and interests in and into an exploration agreement with an option to form a joint venture with Walker River Resources Corp., a Canadian public company (“WRR”), dated September 15, 2015 (the “Agreement”). WRR owns a 100% undivided interest in and to the Lapon Canyon Gold (the “Property”), containing the Lapon Canyon claims, the subject of the Agreement.

The Agreement did not grant the Company an interest in or to the Lapon Canyon claims, or any equity interest in WRR, but rather, granted the Company the right to earn up to an undivided 50% interest in the Lapon Canyon claims by incurring, over a two-year period, $500,000 in exploration and other expenses required to carry out a work program established and operated by WRR on the Lapon Canyon claims (“Eligible Expenses”) and, thereafter, granted the Company an option to enter into a joint venture with WRR for further exploration and development of the Lapon Canyon claims. In addition, the Agreement granted the Company the first right of refusal to acquire an additional 20% interest in the Lapon Canyon claims by the expenditure of additional funds and performance of additional tasks, all related to the joint venture.

Full consideration for all rights in and to the Agreement consisted of the following: payment of $65,000 by the Company to NCG comprised of an initial cash deposit of $25,000, a cash payment of $30,000 and the balance of $10,000 paid through the issuance of 1,000,000 restricted common shares of the Company issued to NCG at a price of $0.01. All consideration had been fully paid as at December 31, 2015.

On July 5, 2017, the Company entered into a property purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with WRR on the Lapon Canyon Project. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement WRR agreed to buy back the Company’s 30% interest in the Lapon Canyon Project in exchange for 9,100,000 common shares of WRR and warrants to acquire an additional 11,900,000 common shares (the “WRR Warrant”). Each WRR Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years without further consideration into one common share in the capital of WRR. The terms of the WRR Warrants contain a provision which prevents the Company to exercise any part of the WRR Warrants which would result in the Company owning 10% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of WRR.

Closing of the Purchase Agreement was subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange, which was received on July 17, 2017. All securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are subject to a hold period expiring on November 20, 2017.

At initial recognition, the Company recorded $2,327,519 as fair market value of common shares and WRR warrants based on then current share price of $0.11 (CAD$0.14) per share.

The transaction resulted in $2,262,519 gain from the sale of mineral assets, and was recorded in the statement of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company incurred $29,292 in Eligible Expenses (2016 – $227,787) on the Lapon Canyon claims of which $29,292 represented exploration expenses (2016 – $185,945).

Garfield Flats Project

On June 7, 2017, the Company entered into an exploration lease and option to purchase agreement (the “Garfield Agreement”) with Goodsprings Development LLC (the “Vendor”), a Nevada limited liability corporation on the Garfield Flats Project (the “Garfield Property”), consisting of six (6) Orsa Claims and six (6) Lazy Claims totaling 240 acres. The term of the Garfield Agreement is ten years, and is subject to extension for two additional terms of ten years each.

In order to retain the rights to the exploration lease, the Company is required to make the following minimum annual payments:

In addition to the minimum annual payments, the Company agreed to pay the Vendor a 2% production royalty based on the gross returns from the production and sale of minerals from the Garfield Property.

At any time during the term of the Garfield Agreement the Company has a right to acquire 100% ownership of the Garfield Property for a one-time payment of $300,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The minimum annual payments paid by the Company to the Vendor, cannot be applied or credited against the Purchase Price; however, once the Company exercises its option to acquire the Garfield Property, the minimum annual payments shall be credited against the production royalties payable.

On August 2, 2017, the Company entered into an exploration lease agreement (the “Lazy Claims Agreement”) with Tarsis Resources US Inc. (“Tarsis”), a Nevada corporation, to lease the Lazy Claims, consisting of three claims (the “Lazy Claims Property”). The term of the Lazy Claims Agreement is ten years, and is subject to extension for additional two consecutive 10-year terms. Full consideration of the Lazy Claims Agreement consists of the following: an initial cash payment of $1,000 to Tarsis, paid upon the execution of the Lazy Claims Agreement, with $2,000 payable to Tarsis on each subsequent anniversary of the effective date. The Company agreed to pay Tarsis a 2% production royalty (the “Lazy Claims Royalty”) based on the gross returns from the production and sale of minerals from the Lazy Claims Property. Should the Lazy Claims Royalty payments to Tarsis be in excess of $2,000 per year, the Company will not be required to pay a $2,000 annual minimum payment.

During the year ended December, 31 2017, the Company staked an additional 69 Orsa Claims and 75 Lazy Claims, with a total paid cost of $54,152. These claims were added to the Garfield Flats Project.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company accrued $120,000 in exploration expenses associated with consulting fees for review and compilation of all available geological and technical materials and data for the Garfield Flats Project.

NOTE 5 – EQUITY INVESTMENT

On July 5, 2017, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with WRR on the Lapon Canyon Project to sell the Company’s 30% interest in the Lapon Canyon Project in exchange for 9,100,000 common shares of WRR and warrants to acquire an additional 11,900,000 common shares. The transaction completed on July 18, 2017.

At initial recognition, the Company recorded $2,327,519 as long-term equity investment based on then current share price of $0.11 (CAD$0.14) per share (Note 4).

Each WRR Warrant is exercisable for a period of five years without further consideration into one common share in the capital of WRR. The terms of the WRR Warrants contain a provision which prevents the Company to exercise any part of the WRR Warrants which would result in the Company owning 10% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of WRR. Because these warrants can be exercised for no further consideration they have been accounted for as being equivalent to shares and classified as available for sale.

At December 31, 2017, the fair market value of the equity investment was calculated to be $1,338,547 based on the market price of WRR common shares.

The revaluation of the equity investment in WRR resulted in $988,972 loss, which was mainly associated with the decrease of the market price of WRR’s common stock from the initial CAD$0.14/share to CAD$0.08/share at December 31, 2017. The Company records its equity investment in WRR as Fair Value through other comprehensive income/loss (FVOCI), and as such the loss on revaluation was recorded as part of other comprehensive loss included in stockholders’ equity.

NOTE 6 – NOTES AND ADVANCES PAYABLE

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company received an advance of $55,000 for its operating activities. The advance is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.

NOTE 7 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company was formed with one class of common stock, $0.0001 par value and is authorized to issue 100,000,000 common shares and one class of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value and is authorized to issue 10,000,000 preferred shares. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they chose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.

On April 28, 2016, the Company split its common stock on a 10:1 basis. The stock split did not affect the par value of the Company’s common stock. As a result, the stated capital on the Company’s balance sheet attributable to the Company’s common stock was increased proportionately based on the stock split ratio, and the additional paid-in capital account was credited with the amount by which the stated capital was increased. All shares and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to account for the split.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued 500,000 shares with a total fair value of $65,000 to an arms length vendor for consulting services.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company completed the following transactions:

NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

A reconciliation of the expected income tax expense to the actual income tax expense is as follows:

The Company has the following deductible temporary differences:

The Company has net operating losses of approximately $385,939 available to reduce future years’ taxable income. These losses may be carried forward indefinitely. Tax attributes are subject to review, and potential adjustment, by tax authorities.

Item 9. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed with an objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as this Annual Report on Form 10-K, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls are also designed with an objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer, in order to allow timely consideration regarding required disclosures.

The evaluation of our disclosure controls by our principal executive officer included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, the operation of the controls, and the effect of the controls on the information presented in this Annual Report. Our management, including our chief executive officer, does not expect that disclosure controls can or will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud, if any. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Also, projections of any evaluation of the disclosure controls and procedures to future periods are subject to the risk that the disclosure controls and procedures may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2017, were not effective in timely alerting them to material information which is required to be included in our periodic reports filed with the SEC as of the end of the period covering this report and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. There have been no material changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal controls over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2017.

(b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company in accordance with Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the (i) effectiveness and efficiency of operations, (ii) reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Our internal controls framework is based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Based on an assessment of the Company’s internal control procedures over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2017, management believes that the internal control over financial reporting is not effective. We have identified current material weaknesses considering the nature and extent of our current operations and any risks or errors in financial reporting under current operations. In the view of management the Company does not have adequate segregation of duties in the handling of its financial reporting due to limited number of personnel.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

(c) Changes in Internal Controls

There was no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred for the year ended December 31, 2017, that had materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information

Not applicable.

PART III

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance

Our directors serve until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Our directors elect our officers to a term of one (1) year and they serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until they are removed from office. The board of directors has no nominating or compensation committees.

The name, address, age, and position of our present officers and director is set forth below:

The persons named above have held their offices/positions since February 28, 2014, and we expect them to hold their offices/positions at least until the next annual meeting of our shareholders.

Possible Potential Conflicts

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Link alternative trading system on the OTCQB marketplace, which does not have director independence requirements.

No member of management will be required by us to work on a full time basis. Accordingly, certain conflicts of interest may arise between us and our officer and directors in that they may have other business interests in the future to which they devote their attention, and they may be expected to continue to do so although management time must also be devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through the exercise of such judgment as is consistent with each officer’s understanding of his fiduciary duties to us. In the course of other business activities, they may become aware of business opportunities that may be appropriate for presentation to us, as well as the other entities with which they are affiliated. As such, there may be conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. In an effort to reduce or minimize any conflicts, Messrs. Cocks and Levine have orally agreed that any opportunities that are presented to them in the United States will be directed to the Company and that any opportunities presented to them in Canada will be available for their other business interests.

We cannot provide assurances that our efforts to eliminate the potential impact of conflicts of interest will be effective.

Currently we have two directors and an officer and will seek to add additional officer(s) and/or director(s) as and when the proper personnel are located and terms of employment are mutually negotiated and agreed, and we have sufficient capital resources and cash flow to make such offers.

We cannot provide assurances that our efforts to eliminate the potential impact of conflicts of interest will be effective.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

On February 28, 2014, we adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct which is applicable to our future employees and which also includes a Code of Ethics for our chief executive officer and principal financial officer and any persons performing similar functions. A code of ethics is a written standard designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

A copy of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 14.1 to our registration statement.

Board of Directors

Our directors hold office until the completion of their term of office, which is not longer than one year, or until a successor(s) have been elected. Currently, directors receive no compensation for their role as directors but may receive compensation for their role as officers.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
