(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

Red Metal Resources Ltd. (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 10, 2005, under the laws of the State of Nevada.  On August 21, 2007, the Company acquired a 99% interest in Minera Polymet Limitada (“Polymet”), a limited liability company formed on August 21, 2007, under the laws of the Republic of Chile. The Company is involved in acquiring and exploring mineral properties in Chile.  The Company has not determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.  

Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2014, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC. The interim unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with those financial statements included in Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended October 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company has elected to early adopt the guidance in FASB Topic 915 and no longer provides the disclosure for development stage companies. Accordingly, the figures for the period from inception to the current period are no longer provided. Other recent accounting pronouncements with future effective dates are not expected to have an impact on the Company’s financing statements.

F-5

Transactions with Related Parties

During the nine months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred the following expenses with related parties:

NOTE 3 - UNPROVED MINERAL PROPERTIES

(1) The Farellon Alto 1-8 claim is subject to a 1.5% royalty on the net sales of minerals extracted from the property to a total of $600,000. The royalty payments are due monthly while the claim is being exploited, and are subject to minimum payments of $1,000 per month. The Company commenced exploitation of the claim on January 15, 2014 and as of October 31, 2014 paid $9,519 in royalty payments to the vendor.  See Farellon Project discussion below.

(2) See Perth Project discussion below.

(3) The claims are subject to a 1% royalty on the net sales of minerals extracted from the property to a total of $100,000. The royalty payments are due monthly once exploitation begins and are not subject to minimum payments. The Company has no obligation to pay the royalty if it does not commence exploitation.

Perth Project

On April 30, 2013, the Company granted Geoactiva SpA (“Geoactiva”) an option to purchase 100% of the Perth Property through the execution of a mining option purchase agreement (the “Option Agreement”).

To maintain the option and acquire the properties, Geoactiva agreed to the following:

F-6

* The amount has been credited against the carrying value of the Perth property. The excess of $27,687 over the carrying value of the Perth property has been recorded as a gain on mineral property option payment in the consolidated statements of operations.

Upon exercise of the Option Agreement and once the commercial production begins, Geoactiva agreed to pay the Company a Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”) of 1.5% from the sale of gold, copper, and cobalt extracted from the Perth property. At any time after the exercise of the Option Agreement and Geoactiva’s fulfilment of the investment commitment of $3,500,000 in exploration expenditures, Geoactiva was able to  purchase 100% of the NSR as follows:

Gold: paying $5 per inferred ounce of gold, according to the definition of Inferred Mineral Resource in the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.

Copper: $0.005 per inferred ounce of copper, according to the definition of Inferred Mineral Resource in the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.

Cobalt: If Geoactiva acquired the NSR with respect to gold, copper, or both, the NSR relating to cobalt would have been terminated.

In August 2014 Geoactiva notified the Company of its intention to cancel the Perth Option Agreement. As of the date of this report, the Company is awaiting to receive the legalized documentation on the cancellation of the Option Agreement.  

Farellon Project

On May 27, 2014, the subsidiary of the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with an unrelated party to acquire an option to earn 100% interest in two mining claims contiguous to the Farellon Property. The entry into an option agreement was subject to results of a due diligence process, which was verbally extended from its original due date of July 26, 2014 and, as of October 31, 2014, has not been finalized yet.

In order to acquire 100% interest in the mining claims the Company will be required to make annual payments totalling $300,000 in a combination of shares and cash over four years. The claims will be subject to a 1.5% NSR which can be bought out by making a one-time payment totalling $1,500,000 any time after acquiring 100% of the property.

NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK

During the nine months ended October 31, 2014, the Company did not have any transactions that resulted in issuance of its common stock.

Warrants

The weighted average life and weighted average exercise price of the warrants at October 31, 2014 is 0.49 years and $0.10, respectively.

Options

On February 28, 2014, the Company granted 1,200,000 options to purchase shares of its common stock to certain officers, directors, consultants and employees. The Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Vice President of Exploration were each granted options to purchase up to 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The options are exercisable at $0.15 for a term of two years and vested upon grant.

F-7

The weighted average life and weighted average exercise price of the options at October 31, 2014 is 1.33 years and $0.15, respectively.

The Company recorded $146,901 as stock-based compensation, which was calculated using the following assumptions under the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by Red Metal Resources Ltd. contains forward-looking statements. These are statements regarding financial and operating performance and results and other statements that are not historical facts. The words “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “forecast,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Certain important risks could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the forward-looking statements. Some, but not all, of these risks include, among other things:

·

general economic conditions, because they may affect our ability to raise money;

·

our ability to raise enough money to continue our operations;

·

changes in regulatory requirements that adversely affect our business;

·

changes in the prices for minerals that adversely affect our business;

·

political changes in Chile, which could affect our interests there, and / or

·

other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.

We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s view only as of the date of this report. We are not obligated to update these statements or publicly release the results of any revisions to them to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should refer to, and carefully review, the information in future documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

General

You should read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014. The inclusion of supplementary analytical and related information 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.

Overview

Red Metal Resources Ltd. (“Red Metal”, or the “Company”) 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.

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, our subsidiary, Minera Polymet Limitada, has two employees in Chile and engages 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 two of our mineral claims - Farellon Alto 1-8 and Che. These royalties are payable once exploitation begins. We are also required to pay property taxes that are due annually on all the claims that are included in our properties.

The cost and timing of all planned exploration programs are subject to the availability of qualified mining personnel, such as consulting geologists, 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 ours 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.

Recent corporate events

The following corporate developments occurred during the third quarter ended October 31, 2014, and up to the date of the filing of this report:

1

Memorandum of Understanding

On May 27, 2014, Polymet entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with David Mitchell to acquire an option to earn 100% interest in two mining claims contiguous to the Farellon Property. The entry into an option agreement was subject to results of a due diligence process, which was verbally extended from its original due date of July 26, 2014 and, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, has not been finalized yet.

In order to acquire 100% interest in the mining claims we will be required to pay Mr. Mitchell $300,000 in a combination of shares of our common stock and cash over a four year period. The claims will be subject to a 1.5% royalty on net smelter returns which can be bought out by making a one-time payment totalling $1,500,000 any time after acquiring 100% interest in the claims.

Option with Geoactiva SpA

In August of 2014 Geoactiva SpA (“Geoactiva”), with whom we have entered into an option agreement to purchase 100% of the Perth Property (the “Option Agreement”), notified us of its intention to cancel the Option Agreement. As of the date of this report, we are awaiting to receive legalized documentation on the cancellation as required by Chilean law and land tenure policies.  

Results of operations

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

Table 1 summarizes and compares our financial condition at the nine months ended October 31, 2014, to the year ended January 31, 2014.

Table 1: Comparison of financial condition

COMPARISON OF PRIOR QUARTERLY RESULTS

Table 2 and Table 3 present selected financial information for each of the past eight quarters.

Table 2: Summary of quarterly results (January 31, 2014 - October 31, 2014)

Table 3: Summary of quarterly results (January 31, 2013 - October 31, 2013)

2

During the quarters ended January 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013 we maintained our exploration and operating activities at moderate levels. The net loss during the quarter ended April 30, 2013 included write down of our unproved mineral claims totaling $6,000. During the quarter ended July 31, 2013, we filed an amendment to our registration statement that was originally filed in May 2011, which resulted in an increase to our legal fees. During the same quarter we continued to maintain all other day-to-day operations at a minimum level, resulting in a net loss comparable to the net losses recorded for the quarters ended January 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013. During the quarter ended October 31, 2013, we reached an agreement with certain debt holders to pay $750,000 in debt owed to them with 15,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.05 per share. The conversion was recorded at $0.04 per share, the market price of our common stock on the date of the transaction, which resulted in gain on settlement of debt of $150,000; this gain was partially offset by legal and regulatory fees associated with the registration statement on Form S-1 that we filed with Securities and Exchange Commission in order to register these shares. During the past four quarters we kept our exploration and operating activities at low levels. The higher net loss during the quarter ended April 30, 2014, resulted from $146,901 in stock based compensation we recorded on issuance of options to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of our common stock to our executives, consultants and employees. This increase was partially offset by the gain we recorded on the option payment we received from Geoactiva pursuant to our Option Agreement with the company. In August 2014 Geoactiva decided to cancel the Option Agreement, which ended any future revenue streams from this source.

Selected Financial Results

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

Our operating results for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in the operating results between those periods are summarized in Table 4.

Table 4: Summary of operating results

Revenue. Our revenue for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2014, was $3,002 and $9,019, respectively; this revenue was generated from the royalty payments we received from Minera Farellon. We did not have any revenue during the three and nine months ended October 31, 2013. Due to the exploration rather than the production nature of our business, we do not expect to have significant operating revenue within the next year.

Table 5: Detailed changes in operating expenses

Operating expenses. Our operating expense decreased by $12,034 or 11%, from $106,861 for the three months ended October 31, 2013, to $94,827 for the three months ended October 31, 2014.

Our operating expenses increased by $41,910 or 10%, from $405,688 for the nine months ended October 31, 2013, to $447,598 for the nine months ended October 31, 2014.

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

·

During the nine months ended October 31, 2014 we granted options to purchase 1,200,000 shares of our common stock to certain officers, directors, consultants and employees, which resulted in stock-based compensation expense of $146,901. We did not have similar transactions during the nine months ended October 31, 2013.

·

Our advertising and promotion expenses increased by $6,302 or 69% from $9,197 we incurred during the nine months ended October 31, 2013 to $15,499 incurred during the nine months ended October 31, 2014. The increase was associated with our efforts to bring awareness of our company to the general public.

·

As a result of the restructuring of our debt with certain debt holders during the year ended January 31, 2014, our interest on current debt decreased by $18,498, or 27%, from $67,526 we incurred during the nine months ended October 31, 2013, to $49,028 incurred during the nine months ended October 31, 2014.

·

During the nine months ended October 31, 2014, we have kept our exploration activities at a low level, decreasing our exploration expenses by $15,198 compared to the nine months ended October 31, 2013. At the same time Minera Farellon was carrying out the small scale mining operations on our Farellon Alto 1-8 claim, which started our obligation to pay royalty fees to the original vendor of the claim. The royalties paid to the vendor amounted to $9,019 and were recorded as part of mineral exploration costs.

·

Due to the decrease in our operating activities and our continued efforts to control the overhead costs, our professional and regulatory fees incurred during the nine months ended October 31, 2014 decreased by $40,310 and $6,370 compared to the nine months ended October 31, 2013.

·

Our salaries and wages as well as travel and entertainment expenses decreased by $14,108 and $3,192, respectively. These changes were associated with a decrease in our operating activities and our continued efforts to control the overhead costs.

4

Other items. During the nine months ended October 31, 2014, we recorded a gain on mineral property option payments in the amount of $27,687 when we received a third option payment from Geoactiva. The gain represents the excess over the carrying value of the Perth property at the date of the payment.

During the quarter ended October 31, 2013, we reached an agreement with certain debt holders to pay $750,000 in debt owed to them with 15,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.05 per share. The conversion was recorded at $0.04 per share, the market price of our common stock on the date of the transaction, which resulted in a gain on settlement of debt of $150,000.

Our comprehensive loss for the nine months ended October 31, 2014 was $384,032 as compared to comprehensive loss of $175,965 that we recorded for the nine months ended October 31, 2013. Lower comprehensive loss during the nine months ended October 31, 2013 was mainly associated with the gain on settlement of debt of $150,000 we recorded for that period and $52,863 decrease in gain in unrealized foreign exchange translation of the transactions denominated in other than our functional currency.

Liquidity

GOING CONCERN

The consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly 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 by sharing mineral exploration expenses through joint venture agreements, if possible.  At October 31, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of $1,927,238 and accumulated losses of $7,892,013 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 interim 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, geological services and option payments.

Sources and uses of cash

NINE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

Table 6 summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the nine months ended October, 2014 and 2013.

Table 6:  Summary of sources and uses of cash

Net cash provided by financing activities. During the nine months ended October 31, 2014, we borrowed $53,500 and CAD$15,000 ($13,622) from a significant shareholder and $1,550 and CAD$35,350 ($32,330) from our CEO.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2013, we borrowed $7,000 and CAD$45,000 ($44,308) from our CEO.

Net cash used in operating activities. During the nine months ended October 31, 2014, we used net cash of $124,876 in operating activities. We used $410,892 to cover operating costs and increase our prepaid expenses by $1,577. These uses of cash were offset by increases in our accounts payable of $17,994. Our accrued liabilities increased by $12,110; this increase was associated with property taxes that became payable on our mineral claims. We also increased our accounts payable to related parties by $110,562 and recorded $23,586 in accrued interest on notes payable to related parties.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2013, we used net cash of $58,637 in operating activities. We used $255,688 to cover operating costs and increase our prepaid expenses by $1,020. These uses of cash were offset by increases in our accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $43,817 and $25,185, respectively. We also increased our accounts payable to related parties by $231,241 and recorded $19,285 in accrued interest on notes payable to related parties.

Certain non-cash changes in operating assets and liabilities. During the nine months ended October 31, 2014, we recorded $146,901 as stock based compensation on the grant of options to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of our common stock to certain officers, directors, consultants and employees.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2013, we settled $750,000 in debt by issuing 15,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.05 per share. The transaction resulted in a gain of $150,000 on settlement of debt.

Net cash used in investing activities. During the nine months ended October 31, 2014, we spent $38,137 acquiring mineral claims. During the same period we received $50,000 from Geoactiva pursuant to the Property Option Agreement, of which $27,687 represented gain on mineral property options in excess over the carrying value of the Perth property.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2013, we spent $77,498 acquiring mineral claims and paying property taxes associated with our mineral claims. During the same period we received $75,000 from Geoactiva pursuant to our Property Option Agreement.

Option with Geoactiva SpA.

On April 30, 2013, we granted Geoactiva SpA an option to purchase 100% of the Perth property through the execution of a mining option purchase agreement (the “Option Agreement”). In order to maintain the option to purchase and to acquire the Perth property, Geoactiva was required to pay us the total amount of $1,000,000 and incur exploration expenses over 48 months as set out in the following table.

* The first three option payments were received on-time, as specified in the above table.

8

As part of the Option Agreement Geoactiva was required to complete exploration work on the Perth property for the minimum of $500,000 by April 30, 2014. During the quarter ended July 31, 2014 we received results of the Geoactiva’s exploration program, which was conducted on our Perth property and one additional third party claim. The exploration program consisted of 30 drillholes totaling 3,956 meters, of which 4 drillholes were drilled primarily on Perth property.

A total of 35 surface reconnaissance samples and 728 surface chip samples were taken from the Perth property. Significant results of the surface reconnaissance samples are detailed in the table below:

In August 2014 Geoactiva notified us of its intention to cancel the Perth Option Agreement.  As of the date of this report, we are awaiting to receive legalized documentation on the cancellation of the Option Agreement as required by Chilean law and land tenure policies.    

Farellon Property.

On May 23, 2013, we entered into a rental agreement with Minera Farellon Limitada (“Minera Farellon”), to allow Minera Farellon to conduct certain exploration and mining activities on the Farellon Alto 1 - 8 claim (the “Farellon Claim”) in exchange for a 10% royalty on gross smelter returns.

In January 2014 Minera Farellon Limitada commenced small scale mining activities on the Farellon Claim, which, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, have reached approximately 25 meters vertical depth and have completed approximately 225 meters of development. The main drilling target is an area intersected in the 2011 and 2013 drilling campaigns including intercepts in drill holes FAR-11-001 of 3.95% Cu and 0.53 g/t Au over 8 meters, FAR-13-002 of 2.15% Cu and 0.28 g/t Au over 7 meters and FAR-13-001 of 0.70% Cu and 0.20 g/t Au over six meters including 1.25% Cu and 0.34 g/t Au over two meters. The target area is at 35 meters vertical depth from surface. During mining development the vein zone has been intersected several times and ore material has been removed and sold to ENAMI, a Chilean national mining company with regional ore processing plants.

9

During the nine months ended October 31, 2014, we received $9,019 in royalty revenue from gross smelter returns. At the same time, the mining activities conducted by Minera Farellon triggered our obligation to pay the minimum royalty fees to the original vendors of the Farellon Claim which totaled $9,019 and were recorded as part of mineral exploration costs.

In order to expand our Farellon Property, on May 27, 2014, our subsidiary, Minera Polymet Limitada, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with David Mitchell to acquire an option to earn 100% interest in two mining claims contiguous to our Farellon Property. The entry into an option agreement is subject to results of a due diligence process which was verbally extended from its original due date of July 26, 2014 and, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, has not been finalized yet.

In order to acquire 100% interest in these two mining claims we will be required to pay Mr. Mitchell $300,000 in a combination of shares of our common stock and cash over a four year period. The claims will be subject to a 1.5% royalty on net smelter returns which we will be able to buy out by making a one-time payment totaling $1,500,000 any time after acquiring 100% of the 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

We had no contingencies at October 31, 2014.

As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report we have the following long-term contractual obligations and commitments:

·

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 Alto 1 - 8 claim 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.

·

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.

·

Mineral property taxes. To keep our mineral claims in good standing we are required to pay mineral property taxes of approximately $38,500 per annum.

Equity financing

To generate working capital, between February 1, 2012 and December 12, 2014 we issued 267,335 shares of our common stock and warrants for the purchase of 267,335 shares of our common stock to raise $120,301 under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. During the same period we issued 500,000 shares of our common stock on exercise of warrants for total proceeds of $150,000.

On August 12, 2013, we reached an agreement with certain debt holders to pay $750,000 in debt with 15,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.05 per share. The transaction resulted in a $750,000 reduction to our current liabilities and a gain of $150,000 on settlement of debt.

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 financings, the issuance of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders.

Debt financing

Between February 1, 2012 and October 31, 2014, we borrowed a total of $313,979 from related parties.  Of this amount, $56,553 has been repaid.

Challenges and risks

Other than royalty revenue from Minera Farellon, we do not anticipate generating any cash from our operations 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 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 other resource companies to complete a mineral exploration programs on our properties in Chile. If we enter into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of 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 associated with 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 period. 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 unproved mineral properties, determination of fair values of stock-based transactions, and deferred income tax rates.

Reclassifications

Certain prior-period amounts in the accompanying consolidated interim 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

We have elected to early adopt the guidance in FASB Topic 915 and no longer provide the disclosure for development stage companies. Accordingly, our financial statements no longer present the figures for the period from inception to the current period. Other recent accounting pronouncements with future effective dates are not expected to have an impact on our financial statements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide this disclosure.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter covered by this report, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
