BASIS FOR DELAY IN FILING THIS REPORT
This report is being filed on or before November 21, 2012. The delay in filing of this report is due to the inability of the Registrant to obtain its financial records for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 until approximately Thursday, November 15, 2012 due to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. During this period in question our financial records were maintained by our former counsel, whose office is located in New York City. He was unable to provide these records to us until the aforesaid time. We are relying upon Release No. 68224 and the Order Under Section 17A and Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemptions from Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder in order to be deemed to be in compliance with the filing requirements of such Act.

VALLEY HIGH MINING COMPANY
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
September 30, 2012
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by Valley High Mining Company (the “Company”) without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2011 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
NOTE 2 - GOING CONCERN
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. 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.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management's plan is to obtain such resources for the Company by obtaining capital from management and significant shareholders sufficient to meet its minimal operating expenses and seeking equity and/or debt financing. However management cannot provide any assurances that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Mineral Exploration and Development Costs
All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Costs of acquisition and option costs of mineral rights are capitalized upon acquisition. Mine development costs incurred to develop new ore deposits, to expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the property is determined to be a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. If the Company does not continue with exploration after the completion of the feasibility study, the cost of mineral rights will be expensed at that time. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to mining costs, including related property and equipment costs. To determine if capitalized costs are in excess of their recoverable amount, periodic evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property and equipment costs are performed based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value.
Subsequent Events
The Company’s management reviewed all material events through the date of the issuance of these financial statements to determine if there were any subsequent events to report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 4 – MINERAL PROPERTY
In September 2012, we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Corizona Mining Properties, LLC (“Corizona”), a Minnesota limited liability company who’s management has significant experience in the mining industry. Together with Corizona, we formed a limited liability company, Minera Carabamba S.A., pursuant to the laws of Peru. The Joint Venture has acquired a mining leasehold interest in a property, which has an area of approximately 966 hectares and is located in La Libertad, Peru. This Joint Venture has commenced initial operations on the property under the project name of Machacala.
In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Joint Venture Agreement, we have a 60% ownership interest and Corizona has a 40% ownership interest in the Joint Venture, provided we contribute capital in an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 to the Joint Venture. As of the date of this Report we have met all of our obligations under this agreement. We have contributed a total of $205,000 to the Joint Venture as part of our total funding commitment.
NOTE 5 – NOTES PAYABLE AND RELATED PARTY PAYABLES
On November 16, 2010, the Company entered into a $10,000 note payable with a related party. The note is unsecured, due on demand and bears no interest. The note payable was modified on March 4, 2011, on which date the quoted market price of our common shares was $0.25 per share, by adding a feature for the note to be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at par value, $0.001 per share. The Company evaluated the modification and concluded that the modification was an extinguishment of the original debt since a substantive conversion feature was added. However; no gain or loss, calculated as the difference between the carrying value of the debt prior to modification and the fair value of the debt, will be recognized upon modification due to there being no change between the fair value of the new debt and the carrying value of the debt prior to modification.
During 2011, the Company borrowed an additional $20,000 note payable from the related party. The note was unsecured, due on demand and bore no interest. The note was convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.001 per share.
The Company’s management evaluated the conversion terms of the above notes and concluded that there exists a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”) associated with each note. The value of the BCF was determined based on the stock price on the day of commitment, the number of shares that the note is convertible into, and the difference between the conversion price and the fair value of the common stock. The fair value of the BCF exceeds the $30,000 of proceeds received and is thus capped at $30,000. The $30,000 value of the BCF related to these notes was recorded as a debt discount against the carrying value of the note payable and as an increase to additional paid-in capital. Because the notes were originally due on demand, the Company amortized the debt discount immediately and recorded the amortization as interest expense.
On August 4, 2011, the notes were converted into one 8% Convertible Shares Note. The note is due with accrued interest on December 31, 2015. However, the Company may prepay the note at any time without penalty. The note is convertible to shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.001 per share and is unsecured. The Company has recorded accrued interest of $2,781 as of September 30, 2012.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, related parties loaned the Company $289,737. These advances are non-interest bearing and are due on demand.

NOTE 6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Derivative Liability
The Company entered into an agreement which has been accounted for as a derivative. The Company has accrued a loss contingency associated with this agreement because it is both probable that a liability had been incurred and the amount of the loss can reasonably be estimated. The fair value of this liability is closely linked to whether the Company enters into a reverse merger, initiates a public offering of stock or engages in a similar transaction. The Company believes that the realization of one or more of these events in the near future is probable and when realized, it could have a material effect on the value of the derivative liability recorded.
The main factors that will affect the fair value of the derivative are the number of the Company’s shares outstanding post acquisition or post offering and the resulting market capitalization. In order to estimate a range for the potential contingent liability, the Company estimated the future number of surviving shares and resulting market cap from a reverse merger based on a sample of reverse mergers completed by OTC BB companies during 2010 and 2011.
As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the estimated fair value of this derivative was $43,985. The Company revalues the derivative each reporting period and no material change in value has occurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Deposits on Mineral Properties
Effective September 8, 2012, the Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Corizona Mining Partners, LLC. The purpose of the agreement is to operate and develop certain mineral properties in Peru. Through September 30, 2012, the Company has made an initial capital contribution of $205,000 as part of its total funding commitment of $2,000,000.
If we do not provide a minimum of $1,000,000 in capital contributions to the Joint Venture for any reason other than force majeure or the failure of the Joint Venture to obtain required environmental or social permits from the Peruvian government, then the funds advanced by us will be converted into a promissory note in the principal amount of the funds advanced. If we advance at least $1,000,000, but not the entire $2,000,000, in the time frame specified in the Agreement, our ownership interest in the Joint Venture shall be equal to 20% plus a percentage equal to .004 percent for each dollar in excess of $1,000,000 contributed by us to the Joint Venture.
Corizona has contributed to the Joint Venture by way of assignment to the Joint Venture that certain Mineral Lease Agreement between Minera Santa Isabel, S.A. and Jaime Enrique Loret de Mola de Lavalle, dated July 6, 2012. Corizona is also acting as the operator and provides professional services to the Joint Venture. Distributions of profits from the Joint Venture are to be made on a pro rata basis per the parties’ respective ownership interests, provided that we receive 90% of the distributions until we have received an aggregate in $1,000,000 in distributions and 80% of any further distributions until we have recovered all of our initial capital expenditures on this project.
NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 5, 2012, the Company entered into a joint venture with Corizona Mining Partners, LLC to develop a mineral property in Peru. The Company has a capital commitment of $500,000 under the terms of joint venture. Initially, we will own 80% of this company, with Corizona owning the remaining 20%. The cost of developing this project has been estimated at $500,000, which we are obligated to invest. As of the date of this Report, we are in the process of negotiating the remaining issues and finalizing the proposed joint venture with Corizona.
In addition, in October 2012, we executed a letter agreement with Corizona to acquire a second mining property in Peru known as the Madre de Dios Project. We intend to form a second Joint Venture with Corizona.
As of November 20, 2012, shareholders of the Company have loaned the Company $425,000. These loans have been provided on an interest free basis and the proceeds thereof have been utilized by the Company to meet its obligations under the Joint Venture Agreement with Corizona, as well as for general and administrative expenses. It is anticipated that these loans will be converted into equity at some point in the near future.

Overview and History
Valley High Mining Company ("we, “us,” “our,” or "the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Utah on November 14, 1979, under the name "Valley High Oil, Gas & Minerals, Inc.," for the purpose of engaging in the energy, mining and natural resources business. From inception through September 2012 former management attempted to implement our business plan without any success. Since inception we have experienced several changes in management but never generated any significant revenues from operations.
In April 2004 we successfully reincorporated into the State of Nevada pursuant to the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our then outstanding voting securities. Also in April 2004 we entered into a mining lease agreement ("Mining Lease" or "Lease") with North Beck Joint Venture, LLC, a Utah limited liability company ("North Beck"). Pursuant to the aforementioned mining lease agreement with North Beck Joint Venture, LLC, we acquired control of over 470 acres of patented precious metals mining claims located adjacent to, and just west of, the town of Eureka in Juab County, Utah, in the so-called "Tintic Mining District" ("the North Beck Claims"). The Tintic Mining District of Juab County, Utah, is located approximately 100 miles south of Salt Lake City. The North Beck Claims have an extensive history and contain several mines, mining shafts or "prospecting pits," two of which are over 1,000 feet deep. North Beck was issued, as mining lease consideration, a total of 5,000,000 "restricted" shares in the surviving Nevada corporation, a stock issuance that made North Beck Joint Venture our largest shareholder at that time.
These efforts proved unsuccessful and in February 2010 our principal business activity became to seek a suitable acquisition candidate through acquisition, merger, reverse merger or other suitable business combination method. We disposed of the North Beck Claims at that time.
In September 2012, we discontinued our efforts to identify and acquire a suitable acquisition candidate and entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Corizona Mining Properties, LLC (“Corizona”), a Minnesota limited liability company. Together with Corizona, we formed a limited liability company, Minera Carabamba S.A., pursuant to the laws of Peru. The Joint Venture has acquired a mining leasehold interest in a property, which has an area of approximately 966 hectares and is located in La Libertad, Peru. The Joint Venture shall conduct operations on the property under the project name of Machacala. This project is more fully described below under “Plan of Operation.”
In addition, in October 2012 we executed a letter agreement with Corizona to acquire a second mining property in Peru known as the Madre de Dios Project. We intend to form a second Joint Venture with Corizona, the proposed terms of which are described below under “Plan of Operation.”

We have not been subject to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.
Results Of Operations
Comparison of Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 we did not generate any revenues.
General and administrative expenses during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 were $53,792, compared to general and administrative expense of $20,432 incurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $33,360. The principal reason for this increase was increased legal, accounting, administrative and due diligence costs associated with the two mining ventures described elsewhere in this Report. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 we also incurred $30,375 in interest expense, compared to $1,801 in interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, due to reduced debt.
As a result, we incurred a net loss of ($55,587) (less than $0.01 per share) for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of ($50,807) during the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 (less than $0.01 per share).
Comparison of Results of Operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011
General and administrative expenses during the three month period ended September 30, 2012 were $17,855, compared to general and administrative expense of $3,613 incurred during the three month period ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $14,242. The principal reason for this increase was increased legal, accounting, administrative and due diligence costs associated with the two mining ventures described elsewhere in this Report. The remaining expenses remained relatively consistent from the 2011 period.
As a result, we incurred a net loss of ($18,454) (less than $0.01 per share) for the three month period ended September 30, 2012, compared to a net loss of ($13,988) during the three month period ended September 30, 2011.
Because we did not generate any revenues since our inception, following is our plan of operation.
Plan of Operation
As described above under “Overview and History,” in September 2012, we discontinued our efforts to identify and acquire a suitable acquisition candidate and we entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Corizona Mining Properties, LLC (“Corizona”), a Minnesota limited liability company who’s management has significant experience in the mining industry. Together with Corizona, we formed a limited liability company, Minera Carabamba S.A., pursuant to the laws of Peru. The Joint Venture has acquired a mining leasehold interest in a property, which has an area of approximately 966 hectares and is located in La Libertad, Peru. This Joint Venture has commenced initial operations on the property under the project name of Machacala.
In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Joint Venture Agreement, we have a 60% ownership interest and Corizona has a 40% ownership interest in the Joint Venture, provided we contribute capital in an aggregate amount of $2,000,000 to the Joint Venture. As of the date of this Report we have met all of our obligations under this agreement. As of September 30, 2012, we have contributed a total of $205,000 to the Joint Venture as part of our total funding commitment.
11
If we do not provide a minimum of $1,000,000 in capital contributions to the Joint Venture for any reason other than force majeure or the failure of the Joint Venture to obtain required environmental or social permits from the Peruvian government, then the funds advanced by us will be converted into a promissory note in the principal amount of the funds advanced. If we advance at least $1,000,000, but not the entire $2,000,000, in the time frame specified in the Agreement, our ownership interest in the Joint Venture shall be equal to 20% plus a percentage equal to .004 percent for each dollar in excess of $1,000,000 contributed by us to the Joint Venture.
Corizona has contributed to the Joint Venture by way of assignment to the Joint Venture that certain Mineral Lease Agreement between Minera Santa Isabel, S.A. and Jaime Enrique Loret de Mola de Lavalle, dated July 6, 2012. Corizona is also acting as the operator and provides professional services to the Joint Venture. Distributions of profits from the Joint Venture are to be made on a pro rata basis per the parties’ respective ownership interests, provided that we receive 90% of the distributions until we have received an aggregate in $1,000,000 in distributions and 80% of any further distributions until we have recovered all of our initial capital expenditures on this project.
In the Agreement the parties also have made certain customary representations, warranties and covenants for an agreement of this type.
Since execution of the Joint Venture Agreement and as of the date of this Report, the Venture has visited the initial site and taken samples of the tailings. The tailings were verified, as was the potential tonnage. The sample results have been received. These samples were taken at different locations and different depths on the tailings pile. The sample results were as follows:
·
|
The average gold grade over the multiple tests on the tailings exceeded previous sampling in historical reports. We were expecting a gold grade of around 1.2g/T, but the results came back with an average grade of 1.71g/T.
|
·
|
The average silver grade of the multiple tests on the tailings came in less than findings in previous studies on the property. We were expecting a silver grade of around 2.44oz/T, but the results came back with an average grade of 1.84oz/T.
|
·
|
A high percentage of gold recovery happens within the first 24 hours. (84 – 87%)
|
·
|
The combination of all the sample results validated that production of the tailings is economical and viable. On the basis of the test results it is believed the Venture can recover 85%+ of the gold and 40 – 50% of the silver in the 210,000 tons of tailings with the plant we plan to put into operation.
|
Additionally, the Venture has performed extensive legal due diligence on this property, cleared a majority of water rights issues and established security controls. As of the date of this Report we have taken actions to establish control of our leased property by retaining a surveyor to plot the property boundaries and thereafter, fenced in the property, hired security, consulted with local governmental agencies in regard to environmental and other legal issues and retained a logistics company to develop the site and retained an environmental company to perform an extensive environmental study to be presented to the government. Over the next sixty days we anticipate that we will obtain all of the necessary water rights and fix certain problems for the industrial water system, continue with the environmental approval process and begin plant design and creation. While no assurances can be provided, we have estimated that all of these issues will be concluded in order to allow us to begin production in March 2013.
12
Subsequent Event
In October 2012 we also executed a letter of intent with Corizona to develop a second mining property, also in Peru. The terms of this proposed operation provide for the creation of a second joint venture, to be undertaken through the creation of a new corporation to be formed in Peru. Initially, we will own 80% of this company, with Corizona owning the remaining 20%. The cost of developing this project has been estimated at $500,000, which we are obligated to invest. While no assurances can be provided, if and when this project becomes operational and begins to generate revenue, all such funds will be paid directly to us until we have recovered all of the funds we invested. Thereafter, Corizona will receive a 20% net revenue interest in all funds generated by this project. In addition, Corizona will receive $10,000 per month to operate the property.
As of the date of this Report we are in the process of negotiating the remaining issues and finalizing the proposed joint venture with Corizona.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2012, we had cash of $61,258.
Net cash used in operating activities was $23,603 during the nine month period ended September 30,, 2012, compared to $19,022 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. We anticipate that overhead costs in current operations will increase in the future once our research and development activities discussed above increase.
Cash flows provided or used in investing activities was $205,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30,, 2012 and $0 for the similar period in 2011. Cash flows provided or used by financing activities were $289,737 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 and $20,000 for the similar period in 2011.
In order to fully implement our business plan, specifically the two projects described above under “Plan of Operation” we estimate that we will need approximately $3 million, including costs of our general and administrative expenses. Since we commenced our new business plan in September 2012 through the date of this Report, our shareholders have loaned us $425,000 to enable us to meet our initial obligations under the Joint Venture Agreements described herein with Corizona and begin the initial activities necessary to commence mining operations. It is anticipated that these loans will be converted into equity in the near future, however, such conversion cannot be assured. These loans have been provided to us on an interest free basis. We do not believe we will require significant additional funding other than capital from our shareholders and we have no agreements with any third party to raise us any additional capital. Further, there are no formal agreements between us and any of our shareholders for them to provide any additional capital in the future. Failure to generate additional capital will have a significant negative impact on our proposed operations.
Inflation
Although our operations are influenced by general economic conditions, we do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our results of operations during the nine month period ended September 30, 2012.
13
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following represents a summary of our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are a smaller reporting company and are not required to provide the information under this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures - Our management, which consists of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
These controls are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO/CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, our CEO/CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2012, at the reasonable assurance level. We believe that our consolidated financial statements presented in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented herein.
Inherent Limitations - Our management, which consists of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.
14
Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Those rules define internal control over financial reporting as a process designed 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:
●
|
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
|
●
|
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
|
●
|
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2012. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended September 30, 2012 which were identified in conjunction with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
