NOTE 5 – CONTINGENCY

During the six months ended July 31, 2012, the Company received a penalty notice from the US Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for failure to file a certain tax form within prescribed deadline. The Company believes that it filed the questioned form on time and submitted supporting documentation to the IRS appeal department; therefore, the Company has not accrued for the penalty which was assessed for $10,000 plus accrued interest of $146.

NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On August 21, 2012, the Company acquired four additional mining claims which were added to our Farellon Project. The total amount paid for the acquisition of these claims was approximately $8,500 US.

Overview

Red Metal is a mineral exploration company engaged in locating, and eventually developing, mineral resources in Chile. Our business strategy is to identify, acquire and explore prospective mineral claims with a view to either developing them ourselves or, more likely, finding a joint venture partner with the mining experience and financial means to undertake the development. All of our claims are in the Candelaria IOCG belt in the Chilean Coastal Cordillera.

Since the revenue we have received from our operations is very minimal, we are dependent upon the equity markets for our working capital. Despite the current market volatility, prices of copper and gold overall are moving in a positive direction and we are optimistic that we can raise equity capital under these market conditions. We completed an offering of 6,723,333 units on April 7, 2011, at $0.30 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one warrant for the purchase of one share of common stock exercisable at $0.50 per share for two years. We realized net cash proceeds of $1,862,462 from this offering and the payment of $130,000 in debt. We used the cash proceeds to finance our exploration programs on the Farellon and Mateo properties.

On May 18, 2012, we held our annual meeting of stockholders. At the meeting our stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Red Metal Resources Ltd. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”). Upon receipt of stockholder approval, the Amended Plan became effective. Under the terms of the Amended Plan, the aggregate number of the Company’s shares which may be awarded to eligible persons, including officers, directors and consultants, may not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of shares issued and outstanding from time to time and the total number of shares which may be reserved for issuance to any one individual under the Amended Plan may not exceed 5% of the outstanding shares in any 12 month period. The exercise price for the shares underlying each option shall be determined by the board of directors (or a committee, if one is appointed) on the basis of the market price, as defined in the Amended Plan.

The original Red Metal Resources Ltd. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan was adopted by the board of directors on September 2, 2011. Under this plan we issued options to purchase 1,040,000 shares of our common stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants who provide services to Red Metal. The options have an exercise price of $0.50 per share and a term of two years.

The Company is continuing its exploration activities, as more fully described below in the section titled, “Unproved Mineral Properties”.

Consistent with our historical practices, we continue to monitor our costs in Chile by reviewing our mineral claims to determine whether they possess the geological indicators to economically justify the capital to maintain or explore them. Currently, we have three employees in Chile and engage part time assistants during our exploration programs. Most of our support — such as, vehicles, office and equipment — is supplied under short-term contracts. The only long-term commitments that we have are for royalty payments on four of our mineral claims – Farellon, Che, Veta Negra and Pibe. These royalties are payable once exploitation begins. Two of the above claims – Veta Negra and Pibe – have option payments payable during the next three years under the option to purchase contracts.

The cost and timing of all planned exploration programs are subject to the availability of qualified mining personnel, such as consulting geologists and geo-technicians, and drillers and drilling equipment. Although Chile has a well-trained and qualified mining workforce from which to draw and few early-stage companies such as Red Metal are competing for the available resources, if we are unable to find the personnel and equipment that we need when we need them and at the prices that we have estimated today, we might have to revise or postpone our plans.

During the quarters ended October 31, 2011, and January 31, 2012, we experienced substantially higher operating expenses mainly due to the drilling program on the Farellon property and exploration campaigns on other properties, including associated travel and geological consulting expenses, which we incurred between May and September 2011, and subsequent data analysis. During the quarter ended October 31, 2011, we granted 1,040,000 stock options to certain directors, employees, and consultants that resulted in a non-cash expense of $527,318, increasing our net loss. During the quarter ended January 31, 2012, we began the due diligence review to potentially list our shares on the TSX Venture Exchange that resulted in higher legal costs. During the quarter ended April 30, 2012, we prepared an updated NI 43-101 report on our Farellon property, which resulted in increased exploration expenses, and we continued with the due diligence review relating to listing our common stock on the TSX Venture Exchange, which resulted in increased professional and regulatory fees. During the quarter ended July 31, 2012, we kept our exploration and due diligence activities at a moderate level, which resulted in decrease in our net loss for the quarter.

Revenue. Our revenue for the six months ended July 31, 2012, was $7,804; this revenue was generated from geological services that we provided to an unaffiliated company. We did not generate any revenue during the six months ended July 31, 2011. Due to the exploration rather than production nature of our business, we do not expect to have significant operating revenue within the next year.

Operating expenses. Our operating expenses decreased by $486,113 or 62%, from $782,841 for the three months ended July 31, 2011, to $296,728 for the three months ended July 31, 2012.

On a year-to-date basis, our operating expenses decreased by $365,922, or 34%, from $1,068,117 for the six months ended July 31, 2011, to $702,195 for the six months ended July 31, 2012.

The following are our most significant year-to-date changes:

●

During the six month ended July 31, 2011, we started the drilling program on our Farellon property as well as increased exploration and mapping activities on Mateo and Veta Negra properties, which resulted in mineral exploration expenditures of $507,542. During the six months ended July 31, 2012, we did not run an active drilling campaign but focused our resources on the detailed mapping of the Farellon property and prepared an updated NI 43-101 report based on the last year’s drilling results, which resulted in the exploration expenditures of $183,196.

●

During the quarter ended July 31, 2011, we hired additional personnel to support our drilling campaign on the Farellon property and elevated exploration activities on other properties. Due to the on-going mapping and sampling activities we maintained most of additional staff throughout the year which resulted in comparative wage increase of $20,033 for the six months ended July 31, 2012.

●

Our advertising and promotion expense decreased from $101,086 to $41,544, or 59% due to decreased investor relations activities during the six months ended July 31, 2012, compared to the six months ended July 31, 2011.

●

During the six months ended July 31, 2012, we expensed $75,674 in interest on current debt, an increase of $40,227 compared to $35,447 in interest expensed during the six months ended July 31, 2011. This increase was associated with larger outstanding payables, mainly to related parties.

●

Our professional and legal fees decreased by $29,834, from $106,256 incurred during the six months ended July 31, 2011, to $76,422 for the six months ended July 31, 2012. Higher professional fees incurred during 2011 were associated with the private equity financing that we completed in May of 2011 and filing of the registration statement on form S-1.

●

We restructured our administrative operations, which resulted in savings of $10,557 for the six month period ended July 31, 2012, compared to the period ended July 31, 2011.

●

During the six months ended July 31, 2012, we wrote down $6,926 in mineral property acquisition costs after we decided to drop the option to purchase the Exon claim and several other generative exploration claims. During the six months ended July 31, 2011, we wrote down $2,909 after we abandoned some of our Mateo exploration claims.

●

Our regulatory fees increased by $12,943, from $15,398 incurred during the six months ended July 31, 2011, to $28,341 incurred during the six months ended July 31, 2012. This increase was associated in part with our due diligence review for the purpose of listing our common stock on the TSX Venture Exchange, and in part with the distribution of the proxy statement for our annual meeting of the stockholders that we held on May 18, 2012.

●

Due to the decrease in our mineral exploration activities, our automobile expense decreased by $13,934, from $19,408 incurred during the six months ended July 31, 2011, to $5,474 incurred during the six months ended July 31, 2012.

Net loss. We had a net loss of $694,391 for the six months ended July 31, 2012, compared to a net loss of $ 1,068,117 for the six months ended July 31, 2011. The $373,726 decrease in net loss during the period was mainly associated with the conclusion of our drilling and mapping programs on our Farellon and Mateo properties, which resulted in decrease in mineral exploration and automobile expenses. The reduced advertising activity and restructuring our administrative operations also contributed to the overall decrease in our costs. These decreases were offset by the increases in our regulatory fees, salary and wage expenses as well as increased interest on the current debt with related parties.

Liquidity

GOING CONCERN

The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not generated any significant revenues from mineral sales since inception, have never paid any dividends and are unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. Our continuation as a going concern depends upon the continued financial support of our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow depends upon our ability to locate profitable mineral claims, generate revenue from mineral production and control our production costs. Based upon our current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods, which we plan to mitigate by controlling our operating costs and sharing mineral exploration expenses through joint venture agreements. At July 31, 2012, we had a working capital deficit of $1,940,013 and accumulated losses of $6,679,398 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate significant revenues in the future. Our consolidated financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in our financial statements.

internal and external sources of liquidity

To date we have funded our operations by selling our securities and borrowing funds, and, to a minor extent, from mining royalties and geological services.

Sources and uses of cash

Six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011

Table 5 summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the six months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011.

Net increase in cash	$	19,049		$	471,713

Net cash provided by financing activities. During the six months ended July 31, 2012, we received $150,000 on exercise of warrants for 500,000 shares at $0.30 per share. During the same period we issued 267,335 shares at $0.45 for cash proceeds of $120,301.

We borrowed $57,000 from a shareholder and $40,000 Cdn (approximately $39,944 US) from our CEO; and repaid $56,553 loan including accrued interest to a company owned by a significant shareholder.

During the six months ended July 31, 2011, as part of the private offering completed on April 7, 2011, we issued 6,290,000 units at $0.30 per unit, for cash proceeds of $1,828,099, net of $58,900 in commissions paid to agents, and 433,333 units at $0.30 per unit in payment of $130,000 in debt. Each unit consists of one share of our common stock and a two-year warrant exercisable for one share of our common stock at $0.50 per share.

We borrowed $11,000 from a shareholder, $70,000 US and $10,000 Cdn (approximately $10,454 US) from our CFO and recognized foreign exchange adjustment of $1,829 on $50,000 Cdn that we borrowed during the year ended January 31, 2011, from our CEO. We also repaid $14,382 in loans including accrued interest. See Non-cash financing transactions below.

Non-cash financing transactions. During the six months ended July 31, 2011, as part of the private offering completed on April 7, 2011, the Company’s CEO converted loans in the amount of $50,000 into 166,666 units and the Company’s CFO converted loans in the amount of $80,000 into 266,667 units.

We did not have any non-cash financing transactions during the six months ended July 31, 2012.

Net cash used in operating activities. During the six months ended July 31, 2012, we used net cash of $167,965 in operating activities. We used $694,391 to cover operating costs. This use of cash was offset by increases in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $56,492 and $42,475, respectively. This increase was associated mainly with our exploration activities, preparation of the updated NI 43-101 report, as well as due diligence to list our stock on TSX Venture Exchange. We also increased accounts payable to related parties by $367,104 and recorded $9,774 in accrued interest on notes payable to related parties. Our prepaids and other receivables decreased by $41,248 which also contributed to a decrease in cash used in operations.

During the six months ended July 31, 2011, we used net cash of $1,239,858 in operating activities. We used $1,068,117 to cover operating costs and increased prepaids and other receivables by $27,911. We decreased accounts payable and accrued liabilities by $47,748 and $3,540, respectively. We also decreased accounts payable to related parties by $99,033. These uses of cash were offset by accrued interest on our notes payable to related parties of $3,318.

Net cash used in investing activities. During the six months ended July 31, 2012, we spent $112,283 acquiring mineral claims and paying property taxes associated with our mineral claims.

During the six months ended July 31, 2011, we spent $156,605 acquiring mineral claims and paying property taxes associated with our mineral claims. During the same period we used $19,820 to purchase a pick-up truck used in operations.

Since inception through July 31, 2012, we have invested $1,289,322 acquiring our mineral claims and $19,820 for acquisition of other capital assets.

Unproved mineral properties

We have four active properties which we have assembled since the beginning of 2007— the Farellon, Perth, Mateo, and Veta Negra. These properties consist of both mining and exploration claims and are grouped into two district areas – Carrizal Alto area properties and Vallenar area properties.

Farellon Property

Drilling. During June through September 2011 we conducted a combined RC/diamond drill program on the Farellon property. The program was designed to continue to expand on the results of the 2009 drill program, as well as to continue confirming historical results along the strike. During this program we completed 11 drillholes for a total of 2,233m. Significant results of assays are presented in the Table 7 below.

QA/QC, sampling procedures and analytical methods. Samples were taken at intervals between 0.5 and 2 metres. Sampling started at the collar of the hole and proceeded to the toe or bottom of the drill hole. Samples were taken at two metre intervals outside the previously identified main zone of interest. Through the main zone of interest samples were taken at one metre intervals. Generally, the sample recovery was good to excellent for the 2011 drilling program.

Table 7 above summarizes significant assay results. They are reported as drill lengths as we have not established the width of the mineralized zone.

Our quality assurance, quality control (QA/QC) protocol consists of the addition of standards, blanks and laboratory duplicates to the sample stream. We inserted these into the sample series using the same number sequence as the samples themselves. One of the QA/QC check samples is inserted every 25 samples and it alternates between standards, blanks and laboratory duplicates.

We commissioned Micon International Limited (“Micon”) to prepare an updated technical report that complies with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 summarizing the information obtained from the above drilling program. Micon concluded that our drilling program was successful in confirming and extending the mineralization both in the down dip direction and along strike.

Samples reviewed by Micon proved to be representative of the results encountered in the drilling program; our sampling procedures undertaken at the Farellon Property conformed to CIM Exploration Best Practices Guidelines to minimize any sampling bias.

Micon has reviewed the two-phased exploration program that we have proposed. The first phase of this program would consist of a 5,000m primarily infill drilling to flesh out the structural issues that have been noted in the previous two campaigns, as well as to test the primary mineralization at depth. We have estimated the budget for the first phase of the program to be approximately $922,000.

If the first phase continues to return positive results, a second phase consisting of a 15,000m drilling program would be conducted in order to test the extent of the mineralization down to a 400m depth and estimate an initial mineral resource. The budget for the second phase of the program is approximately $5.2 million.

Micon recommended that Red Metal conducts the exploration program as proposed, subject to funding and any other matters which may cause the proposed exploration program to be altered in the normal course of its business activities, or as a result of exploration activities themselves, and made the following additional recommendations:

●

To add a screened metallic assay protocol to our current QA/QC procedures as a secondary check if any high grade assays of gold and copper are encountered during future exploration programs or if there is a significant difference between the primary and secondary assays for both field duplicate and check samples.

●

Designate a secondary assay laboratory to re-assay a portion of between 5% and 10% of the samples assayed by our current laboratory. This additional assaying procedure would act as a check on the results produced by the current laboratory.

●

Survey the old surface workings and, where safe to do so, the underground workings. Additionally, sample these workings where it is deemed safe. This will add a further dimension to the database and will be very useful if a resource estimate is conducted on the Farellón Project.

●

Build a covered facility in which to store its samples in Vallenar in order to preserve them from the effects of weather.

2012 mapping program: In April of 2012 we started a detailed mapping, prospecting and rock sampling program over the Farellon Property. This program was designed to extend the known mineralized zone to the north and the south and to identify the best potential to expand on the known mineralized zone. As a result of the mapping program, new ground was acquired at public auction in August 2012 to cover the strike extent of the mineralized veins. Detailed data is being compiled and will be released in the near future.

Perth Property

Termination of Perth property joint venture earn-in agreement

On March 14, 2011, we entered into an agreement on the Perth property with Revonergy Inc. Revonergy Inc. paid $35,000 on signing the agreement, which allowed Revonergy to earn a 35% interest in the Perth property if it spent a minimum of $1,450,000 on a three phase exploration program, as follows:

•

Successful completion of a Phase I exploration program costing at least $115,000 one year from signing

•

Successful completion of a Phase II exploration program costing at least $300,000 two years from signing

•

Successful completion of a Phase III exploration program costing at least $1,000,000 and that can justify completing a preliminary feasibility study three years from signing

Revonergy failed to complete Phase I of the exploration program within the term specified, therefore the agreement has terminated.

Mateo Property

During August through October 2011 we carried out an in-depth geological mapping and sampling program on the Mateo property. The Mateo property has very diverse mineralization styles through the property which includes mantos, veins, breccias and porphyries with significant gold and copper. A total of 138 reconnaissance samples were collected over the property. The highest assay values returned from reconnaissance samples were 21g/t Au and 10.3% Cu but more common values were between 1-3g/t Au and 1-3% Cu. Table 8 summarizes the significant assay results.

Table 8: significant intersections

2011 Ground Magnetic Survey

During September 2011 we engaged Quantec International Project Services Ltd. to complete a ground magnetic survey on the Mateo Property. The ground magnetic survey consisted of 70 survey lines with an E-W orientation, and two control lines with a N-S orientation. The survey lines were separated by 100m, and data was collected at 10m intervals on all lines. A total of 218.49km of magnetic data was collected. The survey outlined areas of high and low magnetic response. Areas of high magnetic response indicated the presence of elevated levels of magnetic minerals such as magnetite, pyrotite and hematite whereas areas of low magnetic response may be caused by alteration processes such as magnetite destruction or may simply indicate rock types that never had magnetic minerals.

This ground magnetic survey demarcated the northern and western extent with a large, high magnetic anomaly with a southwest to northeast orientation. This magnetic high may correlate with the Jilguero Intermediate Intrusive formation which is only partially exposed on the property and underlies the Jurassic Punta Del Cobre volcanics and mixed sedimentary sequence.

Two possible correlations with geology are drawn when looking at the magnetic geophysical response. Firstly, all artisanal mines, reconnaissance samples and documented surface mineralization are exposed on the Western edge of the magnetic high in an area where magnetic high-low gradients are greatest transitioning from high to low. Secondly, magnetic highs appear to persist away from the main magnetic high body in a NW direction. Although these persisting magnetic highs are only small stringers in appearance they possibly correlate to dominant NW trending faults on the property that are often mineralized. Visual correlations between magnetic high/low contrasts and geology seem strong enough to suggest further exploration including sampling and drilling along the steepest gradient of magnetic high/low dropoff.

Veta Negra Property

During June and July 2011 we carried out a preliminary exploration program on the Veta Negra property. As a result of the program we discovered a defined and continuous copper mineralized manto continuing on from the main manto previously known to exist. At the conclusion of this program three mantos were traced on surface, one manto, the East Manto, was traced for 1.9km on surface before becoming buried by surface rock, a second manto, the West Manto, was traced for a one kilometer strike length and a third manto, the Far West Manto, was traced for a 500 metre strike length.

After reviewing exploration results and considering the acquisition costs we decided to terminate our option to purchase the Exon claim and dropped three Trixy claims. During the process of transferring the remaining Trixy claims to mining claims we became aware of some underlying claims on the Trixy properties. Therefore, we laid down Rosicler 1 – 7 exploration claims (1,703ha ) over-staking these claims along with additional ground surrounding the Veta Negra and Pibe claims. If the owners of the underlying Trixy claims fail to pay their taxes, initiate the conversion to mining claim status within the prescribed timeframe, or otherwise forfeit their interests in the claims we will have first right to these claims.

Capital resources

Our ability to acquire and explore our Chilean claims is subject to our ability to obtain the necessary funding. We expect to raise funds through loans from private or affiliated persons and sales of our debt or equity securities. We have no committed sources of capital. If we are unable to raise funds as and when we need them, we may be required to curtail, or even to cease, our operations.

Contingencies and commitments

During the six months ended July 31, 2012, the Company received a penalty notice from the IRS for failure to file certain tax form within prescribed deadline. The Company believes that it filed the questioned form on time and submitted supporting documentation to the IRS appeal department. The penalty was assessed for $10,000 plus accrued interest of $146.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our commitments under the Farellon, Che, Veta Negra and Pibe contracts are the only contractual obligations that we have. Table 9 summarizes, as of July 31, 2012, contractual obligations and commitments for the next five fiscal years.

Table 9: Contractual Obligations

	Payments due by period
	Less than 1 year		1 – 3 years		3 – 5 years		More than 5 years *		Total
Option payments	$	237,500	$	280,000	$	-	$	-	$	517,500
Royalty payments		-		-		-		1,950,000		1,950,000
Total	$	237,500	$	280,000	$	-	$	1,950,000	$	2,467,500

*The royalty payments are due once exploitation begins. As of the date of this report we have not commenced exploitation of any of our claims.

●

Farellon royalty. We are committed to paying the vendor a royalty equal to 1.5% on the net sales of minerals extracted from the Farellon claims up to a total of $600,000. The royalty payments are due monthly once exploitation begins and are subject to minimum payments of $1,000 per month. We have no obligation to pay the royalty if we do not commence exploitation.

●

Che royalty. We are committed to paying a royalty equal to 1% of the net sales of minerals extracted from the claims to a maximum of $100,000 to the former owner. The royalty payments are due monthly once exploitation begins, and are not subject to minimum payments.

●

Veta Negra option. On June 30, 2011, Minera Farellon agreed to sell us its option to purchase the Veta Negra and Exon claims for a total cash payment of $107,500 ($17,500 payable to Minera Farellon to exercise the option, and $90,000 payable to the vendors). On May 15, 2012, we decided to drop the option to purchase the Exon claim and furnished the owner of the claim with the cancellation notice. As of the date of this report, we must pay $57,500 payable in two installments over five months to exercise the Veta Negra option. If we complete acquisition of the property we are committed to paying the vendor a royalty equal to 1.5% of the net sales of minerals extracted from the claim to a total maximum of $250,000. The royalty can also be bought for $250,000 at any time. The royalty payments are due monthly once exploitation begins, and are not subject to minimum payments.

●

Pibe option. On November 25, 2011, we entered into an option agreement to purchase the Pibe 1 - 20 mining claims for the total cash payment of $500,000. Under the option agreement we paid $40,000 on December 12, 2011, and must pay $460,000 in six installments over 33 months to exercise the option. If we complete acquisition of the property we are committed to paying the vendor a royalty equal to 1.5% of the net sales of minerals extracted from the claims to a total maximum of $1,000,000. The payments are due once exploitation begins.

Equity financing

To generate working capital, between January 31, 2010, and September 14, 2012, we issued 8,280,668 shares of our common stock and warrants for the purchase of 7,727,001 shares to raise $2,438,401 under Regulations S and D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

Based on our operating plan, we anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future and will require additional equity capital to support our operations and develop our business plan. If we succeed in completing future equity financing, the issuance of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders.

Debt financing

On February 22, 2010, we borrowed US $50,000 and issued a demand promissory note payable to the lender for the principal sum together with interest at 6% per annum. On March 13, 2012, we repaid this note payable along with the interest accrued on it. See Related-party transactions below.

On March 2, 2011, we borrowed US $11,000 and issued a demand promissory note payable to the lender for the principal sum together with interest at 8% per annum. See Related-party transactions below.

On August 25, 2011, we borrowed US $30,000 and issued a demand promissory note payable to the lender for the principal sum together with interest at 8% per annum. See Related-party transactions below.

On September 19, 2011, we borrowed Cdn $62,389 (equivalent to US $63,121) and issued a demand promissory note payable to the lender for the principal sum together with interest at 8% per annum. See Related-party transactions below.

On October 25, 2011, we borrowed US $10,000 and issued a demand promissory note payable to the lender for the principal sum together with interest at 8% per annum. See Related-party transactions below.

On December 9, 2011, we borrowed Cdn $25,000 (equivalent to US $25,293) and issued a demand promissory note payable to the lender for the principal sum together with interest at 8% per annum. See Related-party transactions below.

On January 12, 2012, we borrowed Cdn $30,000 (equivalent to US $30,352) and issued a demand promissory note payable to the lender for the principal sum together with interest at 8% per annum. See Related-party transactions below.

On January 30, 2012, we borrowed US $8,500 and issued a demand promissory note payable to the lender for the principal sum together with interest at 8% per annum. See Related-party transactions below.

On March 7, 2012, we borrowed US $57,000 and issued a demand promissory note payable to the lender for the principal sum together with interest at 8% per annum. See Related-party transactions below.

On July 10, 2012, we borrowed Cdn $40,000 (equivalent to US $39,944) and issued a demand promissory note payable to the lender for the principal sum together with interest at 8% per annum. See Related-party transactions below.

Challenges and risks

We do not anticipate generating any revenue over the next twelve months. We plan to fund our operations through any combination of equity or debt financing from the sale of our securities, private loans, joint ventures or through the sale of part interest in our mineral properties. Although we have succeeded in raising funds as we have needed them, we cannot assure you that this will continue in the future. Many things, such as the continued general downturn, worldwide, of the economy or a significant decrease in the price of minerals, could affect the willingness of potential investors to invest in risky ventures such as ours. We may consider entering into a joint venture partnership with a more senior resource company to complete a mineral exploration program on other properties in Chile. If we enter into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in our mineral claims to our joint venture partner in exchange for the funding.

Investments in and expenditures on mineral interests

Realization of our investments in mineral properties depends upon our maintaining legal ownership, producing from the properties or gainfully disposing of them.

Title to mineral claims involves risks inherent in the difficulties of determining the validity of claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral claims. Our contracts and deeds have been notarized, recorded in the registry of mines and published in the mining bulletin. We review the mining bulletin regularly to discover whether other parties have staked claims over our ground. We have discovered no such claims. To the best of our knowledge, we have taken the steps necessary to ensure that we have good title to our mineral claims.

Foreign exchange

We are subject to foreign exchange risk for transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currency risk arises from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates relative to the United States dollar. We do not believe that we have any material risk due to foreign currency exchange.

Trends, events or uncertainties that may impact results of operations or liquidity

The economic crisis in the United States and the resulting economic uncertainty and market instability may make it harder for us to raise capital as and when we need it and have made it difficult for us to assess the impact of the crisis on our operations or liquidity and to determine if the prices we will receive on the sale of minerals will exceed the cost of mineral exploitation. If we are unable to raise cash, we may be required to cease our operations. Other than as discussed in this report, we know of no other trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our short-term or long-term liquidity.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements and no non-consolidated, special-purpose entities.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain of the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors 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. The most significant estimates with regard to these financial statements relate to carrying values of unproven mineral properties, determination of fair values of stock-based transactions, and deferred income tax rates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior-period amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated results of operations or financial position for any period presented.

Financial instruments

Our financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, accrued professional fees and accrued mineral property costs. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to their short maturities.

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

The Company has reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and plans to adopt those that are applicable to it. We do not expect the adoption of these pronouncements to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
