Texas Mineral Resources Corp.

Notes to Interim Financial Statements

February 28, 2021

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – GENERAL

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Texas Mineral Resources Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended August 31, 2020, dated November 30, 2020 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2020 as reported in our annual report on Form 10-K, have been omitted.

 

Grant Income

 

Grants received from government and other agencies in advance of a specific project are deferred and recognized as other income in the statements of operations in the period they are earned and the related project costs are incurred. For the six and three months ended February 28, 2021, the Company recognized $150,000 and $100,000, respectively, of grant income which is presented in other income net of grant related expenses totaling $138,922 and $116,089, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt – Debit with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) calculation in certain areas. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

NOTE 2 – MINERAL PROPERTIES

 

August 2010 Lease

 

On August 17, 2010, the Company executed a new mining lease with the Texas General Land Office covering Sections 7 and 18 of Township 7, Block 71 and Section 12 of Block 72, covering approximately 860 acres at Round Top Mountain in Hudspeth County, Texas. The mining lease issued by the Texas General Land Office gives the Company the right to explore, produce, develop, mine, extract, mill, remove, and market beryllium, uranium, rare earth elements, all other base and precious metals, industrial minerals and construction materials and all other minerals excluding oil, gas, coal, lignite, sulfur, salt, and potash. The term of the lease is nineteen years so long as minerals are produced in paying quantities.

Upon sale of any minerals removed from Round Top, the Company will pay the State of Texas a $500,000 minimum advance royalty. Thereafter, if paying quantities of minerals are obtained, the Company will pay the State of Texas a production royalty equal to eight percent (8%) of the market value of uranium and other fissionable materials removed and sold from Round Top and six and one quarter percent (6 1/4%) of the market value of all other minerals removed and sold. If paying quantities have not been obtained, the Company may pay additional delay rental fees to extend the term of the lease for successive one (1) year periods pursuant to the following schedule:

The Company also agreed to support the Foundation through an annual payment of $45,000 for ten years to support conservation efforts within the Rio Grande Basin, particularly Lake Amistad, a large and well-known fishing lake near Del Rio, Texas. In connection with the January 2019 settlement with the Foundation, the balance was paid off as of August, 2020. The West Lease comprises approximately 54,990 acres. Most importantly, the purchase of the surface lease provides the Company unrestricted surface access for the potential development and mining of the Round Top Project.

NOTE 2 – MINERAL PROPERTIES (CONTINUED)

 

October 2014 Surface Option and Water Lease

 

On October 29, 2014, the Company announced the execution of agreements with the Texas General Land Office securing the option to purchase the surface rights covering the potential Round Top project mine and plant areas and, separately, a lease to develop the water necessary for the potential Round Top project mining operations. The option to purchase the surface rights covers approximately 5,670 acres over the mining lease and the additional acreage adequate to site all potential heap leaching and processing operations as currently anticipated by the Company. The Company may exercise the option for all or part of the option acreage at any time during the remaining sixteen-year primary term of the mineral lease. The option can be maintained through annual payments of $10,000. The purchase price will be the appraised value of the surface at the time of option exercise. All annual payments have been made as of the date of this filing.

 

The ground water lease secures the right to develop the ground water within a 13,120-acre lease area located approximately 4 miles from the Round Top deposit. The lease area contains five existing water wells. It is anticipated that all potential water needs for the Round Top project mine operations would be satisfied by the existing wells covered by this water lease. This lease terms include an annual minimum production payment of $5,000 prior to production of water for the operation. After initiation of production, the Company will pay $0.95 per thousand gallons or $20,000 annually, whichever is greater. This lease remains in effect so long as the mineral lease is in effect. The minimum production payment for all fiscal years have been made as of the date of this filing.

Holders of the common stock are entitled to equal ratable rights to dividends and distributions with respect to the common stock, as may be declared by our Board of Directors (our “Board”) out of funds legally available. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment or provision for all liabilities and any preferential liquidation rights of any preferred stock then outstanding.

 

In January 2020, the Company entered into three separate consulting agreements for total consideration of 699,999 shares of common stock (233,333 per agreement). The common stock underlying the agreements had a total value of $448,000, based on the $0.64 quoted market price of the common stock on the date the consulting agreements were reached. The right to receive the common stock is subject to ratable vesting over a 24-month period and at February 28, 2021, 408,332 shares had vested and 87,501 had been issued. The Company recognized $112,000 and $56,000 of compensation expense under these consulting agreements during the six and three months ended February 28, 2021 and included the expense in general and administrative expenses. The consultants have requested that the Company hold the remaining shares issuable under the consulting agreements in trust to allow the consultants to request their shares as they vest.

 

In October 2020, the Company issued 61,936 shares of common stock to Directors as payment for accrued fees totaling $92,500 earned in June through August 2020. During the quarter ended November 30, 2020, the Company recognized stock compensation and a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital in the amount of $52,899 for director’s fees earned during the quarter. The Company issued the related 40,042 shares of common stock in December 2020.

 

During the quarter ended November 30, 2020, the Company granted a total of 53,500 stock options with a fair value of $81,468 on the date of grant to a consultant. The fair value of the options was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used to calculate the fair market value are as follows: (i) risk-free interest rate of 0.28% (ii) estimated volatility of 208.05% (iii) dividend yield of 0.00% and (iv) expected life of all options of 4.6 years. The Company recognized the full $81,468 as compensation expense during the three months ended November 30, 2020.

Overview

 

We are a mining company engaged in the business of the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. We currently hold two leases with the GLO expiring in 2029 to explore and develop a 950 acre rare earths project located in Hudspeth County, Texas, known as the Round Top Project. We also have prospecting permits covering 9,345 acres adjacent to the Round Top Project. Our principal focus in conjunction with our joint venture partner, USA Rare Earth, is on developing a metallurgical process to concentrate or otherwise extract the metals from the Round Top Project’s rhyolite, and to conduct additional engineering, design, geotechnical work and permitting necessary for a bankable feasibility study. We currently have limited operations and have not established that any of our projects or properties contain any Proven or Probable Reserves under Guide 7.

 

In March 2021, we acquired an additional 320 acres from the GLO for approximately $130,000. We plan to utilize this property as the site for the construction of our demonstration facility.

 

Rare earth elements are a group of chemically similar elements that usually are found together in nature – they are referred to as the “lanthanide series.” These individual elements have a variety of characteristics that are critical in a wide range of technologies, products, and applications and are critical inputs in existing and emerging applications. Without these elements, multiple high-tech technologies would not be possible. These technologies include:

 

·Cell phones,  

 

·Computer and television screens, 

 

·Battery operated vehicles, 

 

·Clean energy technologies, such as hybrid and electric vehicles and wind power turbines,  

 

·Fiber optics, lasers and hard disk drives, 

 

·Numerous defense applications, such as guidance and control systems and global positioning systems, 

 

·Advanced water treatment technology for use in industrial, military and  

 

·Outdoor recreation applications 

 

Because of these applications, global demand for REE is projected to steadily increase due to continuing growth in existing applications and increased innovation and development of new end uses. Interest in developing resources domestically has become a strategic necessity as there is limited production of these elements outside of China. Our ability to raise additional funds in order to complete our plan of exploration and, if warranted, development at the Round Top Project may be impacted by future prices for REEs.

 

USA Rare Earth Agreement

 

In August 2018, the Company and Morzev Pty. Ltd. (“Morzev”) entered into an agreement (the “2018 Option Agreement”) whereby Morzev was granted the exclusive right to earn and acquire a 70% interest, increasable to an 80% interest, in the Round Top Project from the Company by funding certain expenditures described below. The 2018 Option Agreement contained customary representations, warranties and covenants. In September 2018 and October 2018, the Company and Morzev entered into minor, non-substantive amendments to the 2018 Option Agreement and, in connection with the agreement, Morzev purchased 646,054 shares of Company Common Stock for $140,000 in November 2018. Morzev began engaging in business as USA Rare Earth and in May 2019 notified the Company that it was nominating USA Rare Earth , LLC (“USARE”) as the optionee under the terms of the 2018 Option Agreement. In August 2019, the Company and USARE entered into an amended and restated option agreement as further amended on June 29, 2020 (the “2019 Option Agreement”), whereby the Company restated its agreement to grant USARE the exclusive right to earn and acquire a 70% interest, increasable to an 80% interest, in the Round Top Project from the Company by funding certain expenditures described below. The 2019 Option Agreement has substantially similar terms to the 2018 Option Agreement except that that 2019 Option Agreement acknowledges the investment by USA Rare Earth into the Company and recognized a broader range of expenditures advancing the Round Top Project as contributing to the total $10,000,000 earn-in commitment for the initial 70% interest. The 2019 Option Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. In order to acquire and earn the 70% interest in the Round Top Project, USA Rare Earth must perform and complete the following:


13


 

 

·commit to expend a total of $2,500,000 for mining operations (as described below) on the Round Top Project prior to December 13, 2020 (inclusive of the $140,000 Morzev 2018 stock purchase) which was achieved by expenditure commitments USARE made on December 10, 2019; and 

 

·expend amounts for mining operations on the Round Top Project, up to a maximum of $10,000,000 (including the $2,500,000 referred to above), which mining operations include: (i) the work of de-risking Round Top (including specifically optimizing the leaching cycle and determining final leach pad design, undertaking the pilot plant, and developing the process and procedure to separate and purify other economically important elements from the primary leach solution including but not limited to lithium, aluminum sulfate, hafnium and other fertilizer and industrial products); (ii) property maintenance; (iii) process development solar evaporation; (iv) chemical processing; (v) baseline studies; (vi) engineering; (vii) assessment, geophysical, geochemical and geological surveys; (viii) studies and mapping; (ix) investigating, drilling, assaying, prospecting, designing, examining, equipping, improving, surveying, shaft-sinking, raising, cross-cutting and drifting, searching for, digging, trucking, sampling, working and procuring minerals, ores and metals; (x) surveying and bringing any mining claims to lease or patent; (xi) reclaiming and all other work usually considered to be prospecting, exploration, development, mining and reclamation work; (xii) paying wages and salaries of workers engaged in the work and in supplying food, lodging, transportation and other reasonable needs of the workers; (xiii) paying assessments or premiums for workers’ compensation insurance, contributions for unemployment insurance or other pay allowances or benefits customarily paid in the district to those workers; (xiv) paying rentals, license renewal fees, taxes and other governmental charges required to keep the mineral interests comprising the Round Top Project in good standing; (xv) purchasing or renting plant, buildings, machinery, tools, appliances, equipment or supplies and in installing, erecting, detaching and removing them; and (xvi) mining, milling, concentrating, rehabilitation, reclamation, and environmental protections and in the management of any work which may be done on Round Top or in any other respect necessary for the due carrying out of the prospecting, exploration and development work or any other expenditure approved by the Operating Committee. USARE has the right to fund the balance of the $10,000,000 of mining operations expenditures into the Round Top Project at any time and, simultaneously with such funding, USARE will acquire a 70% interest in Round Top. As of April 2, 2021, USARE has funded an aggregate of approximately $6,238,000 of the $10,000,000 commitment. 

 

If and when USARE acquires the 70% interest in the Round Top Project, the Company’s interest in Round Top will immediately reduce to 30% and each party will be required to contribute to future expenditures with respect to Round Top in proportion to their ownership and all budgets and timelines to be determined and agreed by an operating committee established between the parties, consisting of 2 appointees of USARE and one appointee of the Company. Additionally, the failure of a party to timely fund its proportionate expenditure request shall result in dilution of an ownership interest, which could result in further reductions of the Company’s ownership interest in the event the Company doesn’t have the financial resources to timely fund (or elects not to fund) its proportionate expenditure requirements. It is expected that upon acquisition by USARE of its 70% interest in the Round Top Project, USARE and the Company will enter into documentation reflecting the terms of the 2019 Option Agreement as well as other terms and conditions customary in the mining industry for these types of arrangements.

 

USA Rare Earth shall have the option to acquire an additional 10% in the Round Top Project by:

 

·providing written notice to the Company at any time prior to the 180-day anniversary of the date of the completion of the bankable feasibility study; and 

 

·paying to the Company $3,000,000. 

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and USARE agreed that USARE may exercise this additional option at any time following the date that USARE acquires seventy percent (70%) of the Round Top project until the 180 day anniversary of the date that the bankable feasibility study is completed.

 

USARE serves as the project manager of Round Top, with responsibility to manage, supervise, direct, and control the mining operation with respect to Round Top. Specifically, the project manager responsibilities include:

 

·arranging for and carrying out the mining operations at Round Top; 

 

·making payments to maintain the mining interests and leases free of encumbrances and in good standing; 

 

·maintaining insurance; and 

 

·customary indemnification obligations in connection with its mining properties. 

 


14


 

 

The parties have agreed not to transfer any rights under the 2019 Option Agreement, without consent of the other, providing each other with a customary right of first refusal, and the Company agreed to participate in a customary drag-along provision if USA Rare Earth sells its interest in the 2019 Option Agreement to an unrelated third party.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of February 28, 2021, our accumulated deficit was approximately $39,700,000 and our cash position was approximately $2,200,000. We had a working capital surplus of approximately $1,476,000. We have not commenced commercial production on any of our mineral properties. We have no revenues from operations and anticipate we will have no operating revenues until we place one or more of our properties into production. All properties are in the exploration stage.

 

Other than the financial arrangement with USA Rare Earth to fund operations to earn a 70% interest in the Round Top Project, we currently do not have funds to pursue exploration or development work on the Round Top Project, which means that we will be required to raise additional capital on best efforts terms if USA Rare Earth ceases funding, or find alternative means to finance the Round Top Project continued exploration activities, if warranted. Failure to obtain required and sufficient financing in the absence of continued funding by USA Rare Earth may result in the (i) delay or indefinite postponement of exploration and, if warranted, development or production in the Round Top Project, and/or (ii) curtailment or cessation of our operations. Subsequent to the funding of the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 by USA Rare Earth, we will need to raise a significant amount of additional capital to fund our proportionate expenditures to further exploit the Round Top Project or our remaining 30% interest in the Round Top project (20%, if USA Rare Earth exercises its option) will be further diluted which dilution could result in a significant reduction of our remaining interest if we are unable to fund our proportionate expenditure requirements. We cannot be certain that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable or acceptable to us. Our ability to arrange additional financing in the future is dependent upon third parties. Failure of obtaining the required capital will result in the curtailment or cessation of our business operations or the significant reduction of our ownership interest in the Round Top Project.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Preparation of financial statements requires management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies. Management bases its estimates on various assumptions and historical experience, which are believed to be reasonable; however, due to the inherent nature of estimates, actual results may differ significantly due to changed conditions or assumptions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Management believes that the following critical accounting estimates and judgments have a significant impact on our financial statements; Valuation of options granted to Directors, Officers and consultants using the Black-Scholes model.
