The fair value of the derivative liability at May 31, 2013 and November 30, 2012, totaling $192,123 and $200,535, respectively, was calculated using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model under the assumptions detailed in Note 4.
Gains and losses (realized and unrealized) included in earnings (to change in fair value of derivative liability) for the six months ended May 31, 2013 and three months ended May 31, 2012, are reported in other expenses as follows:

j) Loss per Common Share
Net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Potential common shares includable in the computation of fully diluted per share results are not presented in the financial statements as their effect would be anti-dilutive.
k) Reclassifications
Certain prior year financial statement balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the recorded net loss.
l) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
There are several new accounting pronouncement issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Companys financial position or operating results.
4.
Derivative Liabilities
In June 2008, the FASB finalized ASC 815, Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entitys Own Stock. Under ASC 815, instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions are deemed to be derivative instruments. The Company has determined that it needs to account for 8 convertible debentures (see note 3h) issued for its shares of common stock, as derivative liabilities, and apply the provisions of ASC 815. The instruments have a ratchet provision that adjust either the exercise price and/or quantity of the shares as the conversion price equals to 60% of the "market price" at the time of conversion, which "market price" will be calculated as the average of the three lowest "trading prices" for the Company's common stock during the ten day trading period prior to the date the conversion note is sent to the Company.
6
As a result, the instruments need to be accounted for as derivative liabilities. In accordance with ASC 815, these convertible debentures have been re-characterized as derivative liabilities. ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (ASC 815) requires that the fair value of these liabilities be re-measured at the end of every reporting period with the change in fair value reported in the consolidated statement of operations.
The fair value of the derivative liabilities was measured using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:

Fair Value | $ 192,123 |

The discount rate was based on rates established by the Federal Reserve. The Company based expected volatility on the historical volatility for its common stock. The expected life of the debentures was based on their full term. The expected dividend yield was based upon the fact that the Company has not historically paid dividends, and does not expect to pay dividends in the future.
The Company recorded a derivative liability associated with the convertible debts, as the conversion price of most debentures is variable with a conversion threshold of 60% of the market value of the Companys common stock on the date of conversion except for debentures totaling $174,530 which has a conversion threshold of 70% of the market value of the Companys common stock on the date of conversion. The initial measurement of this derivative liability is based on the value of the shares that could be issued upon entry into the convertible debt agreement. Such valuation is determined using a fair value valuation model of the potential shares that could be issued. The difference between the initial value of the derivative liability and the debt discount is charged as an expense on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities upon entry into the debt agreement. The derivative liability is adjusted at each reporting period date based on the conversion rate available at each reporting date, or until such time as the convertible debt is converted. During the six months ended May 31, 2013, $8,412 was charged to change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The value of the derivative is presented as the derivative liability in the accompanying balance sheet of the Company, less any adjustments to the value of the derivative.
At May 31, 2013, the Company reevaluated the derivative liability based on the fair value assumptions for the convertible debt that it had previously entered into as well as convertible debt entered into during the six months then ended. As of May 31, 2013, the derivative liability recorded during the six months then ended, decreased by $8,412 due to the conversion threshold being lower at this reporting date than on the date that the convertible debt had been entered into.

Commitments and Contingencies
In August, 2009, trading in the Companys stock was temporarily suspended in British Columbia, Canada by the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC). The temporary suspension was the result of what the BCSC termed suspicious trading activity due to a significant increase in the share price of the Companys stock price. Various shareholders, and the former CEO and President, Malkeet Bains have been interviewed. To date, no charges of wrongdoing have been made against the Company; however, the BCSC has requested various documents and information as part of the investigation. The Cease Trade Order is still in effect regarding trading in British Columbia, Canada, and the residents thereof. The Company cannot be certain of the outcome of the proceedings; however, we do not believe they will impact the Company itself. Accordingly, the Company has not reserved for any additional legal fees, which the Company believes will be nominal and expensed as incurred.
In ongoing proceedings, the BCSC accepted plea agreements from several individuals in connection with its investigation into the above referenced matter. The Company and current management are NOT involved in the proceedings and have no connection to any of the individuals under investigation.
Under a consulting agreement between American Mineral and Internet Marketing Solutions, Inc. (IMS) provides that IMS will receive a Consulting Fee of ten percent (10%) of the gross value of the project received by American Mineral including cash, stock and stock purchase warrants.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The financial data presented below should be read in conjunction with the more detailed financial statements and related notes, which are included elsewhere in this report. Information discussed herein, as well as elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, includes forward-looking statements or opinions regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company, and are subject to a number of risks and other factors which could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements. Among such factors are general business and economic conditions, and risk factors as listed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K or listed from time to time in documents filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Our Current Business
We are an exploration stage company. To date, our activities have been limited to organizational matters, the negotiation and acquisition of the Conglomerate Mesa Claims and the development of these claims. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company determined that the Conglomerate Mesa project had too long a time horizon versus the costs involved at this time. The management made a strategic decision to allow all claims held at the Conglomerate Mesa project to expire by not renewing the annual lease payments to the Bureau of Land Management and the cancellation of payments to the prospectors with whom we had partnered. Instead, the Company has determined that several very attractive alternative projects are available on the African continent, and to that end, representative of the Company visited several countries in Africa in late May 2012. Further information and developments will be forthcoming. Our company has not generated revenues since inception and has accumulated losses of $14,018,660 since inception. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production of any mineral or oil and gas properties we acquire. We can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources or oil and gas resources on properties we acquire, or if such resources are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of properties we acquire.
On February 27, 2013, the Company acquired a 28% Working Interest in the Grand Chenier oil and gas prospect in Louisiana. The property contains an estimate 9.0 million barrels of oil and was in production until approximately 2009 when the then operator failed to manage the interests and certain repairs were not made leading to the cessation of production. The Company believes that with approximately $2.0 million in capital, the field can be returned to production and additional wells within the prospect can then be brought online increasing production to a profitable level.
We are actively pursuing additional opportunities in the oil, gas, coal, and mining industries. Simultaneously, we are seeking business opportunities with established business entities for the merger of a target business with our company. In certain instances, a target business may wish to become a subsidiary of our company or may wish to contribute assets to us rather than merge. We anticipate that any new acquisition or business opportunities by our company will require additional financing. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to acquire the financing necessary to enable us to pursue our plan of operation. If our company requires additional financing and we are unable to acquire such funds, our business may fail.
As an exploration stage company, we are not able to fund our cash requirements through our current operations. Historically, we have been able to raise a limited amount of capital through private placements of our equity stock, but we are uncertain about our continued ability to raise funds privately. Further, we believe that our company may have difficulties raising capital until we either confirm the value of our various claims, or locate a prospective property through which we can pursue our plan of operation. If we are unable to secure adequate capital to continue our acquisition efforts, our shareholders may lose some or all of their investment and our business may fail.
Results of Operations
The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements for the six month periods ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 which is included herein.

Revenues
We did not earn any revenues for the six months ended May 31, 2013. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production of any mineral or oil and gas properties we acquire. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources or oil and gas resources on properties we acquire, or if such resources are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of properties we acquire.

General and Administrative
The overall reduction in our general and administrative expenses for the six month periods ended May 31, 2013 compared to the same period ended May 31, 2012 was primarily due to reduced consulting fees and payroll related expense paid in 2013 versus 2012 when stock grants were made to management.
Consulting and Professional Fees
Consulting fees include fees in connection with the acquisition of the Conglomerate Mesa claims, and structuring of future financings. Professional fees include our accounting and auditing expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and audit of our financial statements and professional fees that we pay to our legal counsel. Our accounting and auditing expenses were incurred in connection with the preparation of our audited financial statements and unaudited interim financial statements. Our legal expenses represent amounts paid to legal counsel in connection with our ongoing reporting requirements. Consulting and legal expenses will be ongoing.

We anticipate that we will incur approximately $300,000 for operating expenses, including professional, legal and accounting expenses associated with our reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and our legal representation during the next twelve months. We do not have sufficient working capital to provide for the anticipated expenses over the next twelve months. Accordingly, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan.
Cash Used in Operating Activities
We used cash in operating activities in the amount of $22,042 during the six month period ended May 31, 2013 and $79,125 during the six month period ended May 31, 2012. Cash used in operating activities was funded by cash from financing activities.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
The Company used $0 and $0 in investing activities during the six month period ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 respectively.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
During the six month period ended May 31, 2013 and 2012:
The Company raised $21,312 and $78,150 respectively from short term Notes from an affiliated, accredited investor. The Note carries interest at a rate of 15% per annum and is due on demand.
The Company also borrowed $269 and $620 respectively from its officers on a demand basis.
Disclosure of Outstanding Share Data
As at the date of this quarterly report, we had:
·
15,135,231 shares of common stock issued and outstanding
·
3,000 shares of preferred A stock issued and outstanding
·
87,500 shares of preferred B stock issued and outstanding
·
250,000 shares of preferred C stock that was to be issued
Going Concern
The financial statements accompanying this report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that our company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our company has not generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, the ability of our company to obtain necessary equity financing to achieve our operating objectives, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of May 31, 2013, our company has accumulated losses of $14,179,278 since inception. We do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above our report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2012, we have included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current shareholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Future Financings
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of shares of our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned activities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to shareholders.
Risks and Uncertainties
We are an exploration stage company with a limited operating history that makes it impossible to reliably predict future growth and operating results.
We have not been able to achieve profitable operations and there are no assurances that we will be able to do so in the future. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by a new enterprise and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The potential for future success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the development of a business in general. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and there can be no assurance that we will generate significant operating revenues in the future or ever achieve profitable operations.
Upon completion of a business opportunity or combination, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully manage or achieve growth of that business opportunity or combination.
Our ability to achieve growth upon the acquisition of a suitable business opportunity or business combination will be dependent upon a number of factors including our ability to hire and train management and other employees and the adequacy of our financial resources. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully manage any business opportunity or business combination. Failure to manage anticipated growth effectively and efficiently could have a material adverse effect on our company.
11
If we complete a business opportunity or combination, management of our company may be required to sell or transfer shares of our common stock and resign as members of our board of directors.
A business combination or acquisition of a business opportunity involving the issuance of shares of our common stock may result in new shareholders obtaining a controlling interest in our company. Any such business combination or acquisition of a business opportunity may require management of our company to sell or transfer all or a portion of the shares they hold in our company and require such individuals to resign as members of our board of directors. The resulting change in control of our company could result in the removal of one or more of our present officers and directors and a corresponding reduction in or elimination of their participation in the future affairs of our company.
If we complete a business opportunity or combination, we may be required to issue a substantial number of shares of our common stock which would dilute the shareholdings of our current shareholders and result in a change of control of our company.
We may pursue the acquisition of a business opportunity or a business combination with a private company. The likely result of such a transaction would result in our company issuing shares of our common stock to shareholders of such private company. Issuing previously authorized and unissued shares of our common stock will reduce the percentage of shares of our common stock owned by existing shareholders and may result in a change in the control of our company and our management.
Our common stock is illiquid and shareholders may be unable to sell their shares.
There is currently a limited market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance to investors that a market will develop. If a market for our common stock does not develop, our shareholders may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and they may lose all of their investment in the company. Public announcements regarding our company, changes in government regulations, conditions in our market segment or changes in earnings estimates by analysts may cause the price of shares of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of shares of our common stock.
We may be unsuccessful at identifying, acquiring and operating suitable business opportunities and if we are unable to find, acquire or operate a suitable opportunity for our company, we may never achieve profitable operations.
We may not be able to find the right business opportunity for our company to become engaged in or we may not succeed in becoming engaged in the business opportunity we choose because we may not act fast enough or have enough money or other attributes to attract the new business opportunity. Before we begin to have any significant operations, we will have to become involved in a viable business opportunity. In addition, in order to be profitable, we will have to, among other things, hire consultants and employees, develop products and/or services, market our products/services, ensure supply and develop a customer base. There is no assurance that we will be able to identify, negotiate, acquire and develop a business opportunity and we may never be profitable.
We have not paid any dividends and do not foresee paying dividends in the future.
Payment of dividends on our common stock is within the discretion of the board of directors and will depend upon our future earnings, our capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors. We have no plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SECs penny stock regulations and FINRAs sales practice requirements, which may limit a shareholders ability to buy and sell our stock.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The term accredited investor refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customers confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchasers written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
In addition to the penny stock rules promulgated by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customers financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer evaluated our company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of achieving the Company's disclosure control objectives. The Company's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at this reasonable assurance level. In addition, the Company reviewed its internal controls, and there have been no significant changes in its internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their last valuation or from the end of the reporting period to the date of this Form 10-Q.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In connection with the evaluation of the Companys internal controls during the quarter ended May 31, 2013, the Companys Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have determined that there are no changes to the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II-OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In August, 2009, trading in the Companys stock was temporarily suspended in British Columbia, Canada by the British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC). The temporary suspension was the result of what the BCSC termed suspicious trading activity due to a significant increase in the share price of the Companys stock price. Various shareholders, and the former CEO and President, Malkeet Bains have been interviewed. To date, no charges of wrongdoing have been made against the Company; however, the BCSC has requested various documents and information as part of the investigation. The Cease Trade Order is still in effect regarding trading in British Columbia, Canada, and the residents thereof. The Company cannot be certain of the outcome of the proceedings; however, we do not believe they will impact the Company itself. Accordingly, the Company has not reserved for any additional legal fees, which the Company believes will be nominal and expensed as incurred.
In ongoing proceedings, the BCSC accepted plea agreements from several individuals in connection with its investigation into the above referenced matter. The Company and current management are NOT involved in the proceedings and have no connection to any of the individuals under investigation.
