PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Introduction
Duke Mountain Resources, Inc. (Duke Mountain, we, our, or us,) is a Nevada corporation incorporated on May 3, 2006. Our authorized capital consists of 76,000,000 common shares, with a par value of $0.001 per share. As of December 31, 2012, we had 12,180,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On September 21, 2007, the Company established a Canadian operating subsidiary, Duke Mountain Resources Canada, Inc. Our corporate headquarters are located at 6805 Sundance Trail, Riverside CA 92506. Our telephone number is 951-907-9911.
We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On December 19, 2011, we attained 100% mineral interest rights to a property located in Pershing County, Nevada called Tonya (the Tonya Property). Although exploratory work in the area of our property conducted by others has indicated some potential showings of mineralization, we are uncertain as to the reproducibility of these prior exploration results and thus we are uncertain as to the potential existence of a commercially viable mineral deposit existing on our mineral claims.
As of the date of this Annual Report, there are no known mineral reserves on the Tonya Property.
We have not earned any revenues to date. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we enter into commercial production of our mineral properties. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that any commercially viable mineral deposits exist on our mineral claims, that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or, if such deposits are discovered, that we will enter into further substantial exploration programs.
Tonya Property
The Tonya Property is located in Pershing County, Nevada near the historic site of Mill City, approximately 40 miles northeast of Lovelock and 40 miles southeast of Winnemucca along US Interstate highway 80. It is approximately 13 miles northeast of the Florida Canyon Mine, 16 miles northeast of the Standard Mine and 25 miles north of the Midway Gold Corps Spring Valley discovery.
The Tonya property has no existing resource or any economic studies. In order to prove any commercially viable discovery, we will need to start a work program consisting of detailed mapping of the surface geology in detail, geophysical surveys consisting of detailed ground magnetmetry and IP-Resistivity to identify prospective areas of alteration, silicification and mineralization and a program of RC drilling to test prospective areas.
We attained lease rights to the Tonya property on December 19, 2011 from Gold Range LLC (Gold Range). Pursuant to the Mining Lease Agreement between us and Gold Range (the Lease Agreement), we have attained a 10-year exclusive right and privilege to enter the Tonya Property for the purposes of exploration and prospecting for any and all minerals, mineral substances, metals, ore-bearing materials and rocks of every kind, including any and all water rights appurtenant to the Tonya Property.
Pursuant to the Lease Agreement, we are required to pay Gold Range royalty payments according to the following schedule.
(a)
The sum of $20,000 upon execution of the Lease Agreement;
5
(b)
Annual payments on or before each of the following;
First Anniversary of this Agreement | $ 2,500 |
Second Anniversary | $ 5,000 |
Third Anniversary | $ 5,000 |
Fourth Anniversary | $ 10,000 |
Fifth Anniversary | $ 50,000 |
Sixth Anniversary and on each anniversary thereafter | $ 100,000 |
Title to Our Property
The Tonya property consists of 17 unpatented lode mining claims, the Tonya #521 through and inclusive of Tonya #538, which cover approximately 340 acres. We own 100% of the claims under the Mining Law of 1872. The mineral rights which comprise the Tonya Property are appropriated under U.S. mining laws. The lands in the area of the property are split estate lands. The mineral rights together with the right of ingress and egress are retained by public ownership, administered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and subject to such appropriation under applicable mining laws. These surface rights have passed into private ownership.

Historic Exploration and Improvement on Tonya Property
There are no mine workings or production history for the Tonya Property. Several shallow prospect pits exist on the property which likely occurred during the 1940s when the nearby Standard Mine was being developed and put into production.
Billiton Minerals conducted two phases of exploration drilling on the property in 1990 and 1991, completing 20 RC holes with cumulative drilled footage of 5,985 feet. Echo Bay Exploration subsequently conducted exploration drilling in 1992 and 1993 completing 8 RC drill holes with a combined footage of 3,530 feet. In total, 9,515 feet of RC style drilling has been completed on the Property. Drill holes on the property range from 165 to 500 feet in depth and average 340 feet.
All trails, drill sites from this previous work has been reclaimed and accepted by the BLM. There are no known environmental liabilities or conditions which could result in an environmental liability on or associated with the property at this time. Within the property, Pershing County maintains a series of all-weather gravel roads which cross
6
the property. Proximal to the property, US Interstate 80, the Transcontinental rail road, natural gas lines, and heavy duty power lines all run along the western boundary of the property.
Geology
The Tonya Property lies in the Mill City Hills, a distinctive semi-circular area of low, but uniformly positive relief approximately 3 miles in diameter situated at the intersection of large north east trending structures related to the Humboldt Structural Lineament and a series of northwest trending faults and structures. The area is situated at the northern end of the Humboldt Range, a north-trending uplift of rocks ranging in age from Permian to Quaternary. Thrust and normal faulting together with low grade regional metamorphism related to the Jurassic-Cretaceous age Nevadan Orogeny is common throughout the region in Pre-Tertiary rocks. A series of north-trending, high-angle faults that result in the development of a series of horsts, grabens and fault blocks that traverse the region are the youngest structural event observed.
Within the circular area of the Mill City Hills, two additional nested semicircular features are evident on satellite imagery in the northwest quadrant. The largest is roughly 1.4 miles in diameter, within which is nested the smaller, central circular feature. Rock outcrops within the innermost, and smallest of these features are composed entirely of variably silicified and altered Tertiary volcanic flows and tuffs generally of andesitic to rhyolitic composition. Rock outcrops in the next larger feature are dominated by Triassic aged Natchez Pass Formation (reefal limestone) and Grass Valley Formation (phyllitic silt to mudstone with variable silicic and or carbonate content). The Natchez Pass and Grass Valley Formations have been intruded by coarsely porphyrytic andesite dikes and sills of the last Cretaceous to Tertiary age. Intense silicification, clay alteration and elevated gold mineralization are spatially associated with these intrusive bodies within the caldron. The Natchez Pass and Grass Valley formations are laterally extensive within the area bounded by the largest of these circular features.
The principal expression of these circular features is topographical control of drainage and related erosion patterns. The innermost of these forms a structural depression which has preserved Tertiary volcanic-sedimentary rocks. Considering all of these factors, this may be an indication that this could be a collapsed caldron situated above a rescinded magma chamber, potentially the source of the andesite porphyry dikes and sills. In 1989, Billiton Minerals mapped areas of metasomatic alteration and replacement within the Natchez Pass formation. This data suggests a buried porphyry system at depth. A distinctive black matrix breccia proximal to the caldron and the gold mineralization is composed of volcanic breccias fragments in the matrix of highly sulfidic chacedonic silica, and is interpreted to represent a maar structure and potentially indicate the presence of a related diatreme body.
Within the Natchez Pass and carbonate sections of the Grass Valley formations, karsti-form collapse breccias and characteristic terra rosa paleosols are widely developed. The karst breccias are often filled and replaced with jasperoidal silica. These karst structures were likely developed by percolating meteoric waters moving along structures during the late Mesozoic Nevadan Orogeny. Quaternary alluvial cover completely surrounds the Mill City Hills and is extensive in most drainages on the property.
Environmental Liability
To the best of managements knowledge, there are no known environmental liabilities associated with the Tonya Property. All disturbances from prior exploration have been reclaimed and all bonds for that disturbance released by the Bureau of Land Management. There are no other situations known which would create foreseeable future environmental liability.
7
Permits
There are presently no permits in place with respect to the Tonya Property, and there are no outstanding fees or bonds due for such permits. Future exploration drilling will require such permitting and bonding with the State of Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP). There are typically no permits necessary to conduct surface geological, geochemical and geophysical studies.
Accessibility
Access to the Tonya Property is exceptional with US Interstate 80 approximately 700 feet west of the property, and all weather county maintained roads crossing the property. The property is 137 miles southwest of Reno, approximately 44 miles from Lovelock and 29 miles northeast to Winnemucca. Local access is provided via exits 149 and 151 to the junction of Dun Glen Canyon Road and Barber Canyon Road via county maintained all weather roads. The City of Reno, Nevada has commercial air connections with most major air carriers. The Santa Fe-Pacific Continental railroad passes approximately 1,400 feet west of the property where Mill City Siding is located and provides excellent rail access and is located 2 miles from the property via paved local roads.
Climate
The weather in the area is mild, with warm dry summers and cool moist winters. Summer temperatures rarely exceed 90 degrees Fahrenheit and winter temperatures average 40 degrees Fahrenheit with night time temperatures often falling below freezing. Snow fall is light a rarely sufficient to limit winter work. Rainfall is low and occurs mostly during the winter and spring months (December to May).
Local Resources and Infrastructure
The local economy is dominated by mining and cattle ranching. As of the date of this Report, management believes that an adequate and generally experienced workforce exists in the nearby towns of Lovelock and Winnemucca to provide all the needs for future foreseeable exploration and production operations. All support facilities necessary to develop a modern large mining operation are available in the vicinity including lodging, support labor, transportation and medical facilities.
The Humboldt River flows a few miles west of the property and adequate ground water is available at relatively shallow depths in the Humboldt River Aquifer. The Transcontinental natural gas pipeline passes next to I-80 and heavy duty 345kv power transmission lines follow this same corridor along with transcontinental telephone lines and Santa Fe Pacific transcontinental railroad.
Physiography
The topography of the property is composed of low flat areas and gentle rolling hills. The maxim relief in the area of the property is less than 500 feet. Elevations on the property range from approximately 4,280 feet to a maximum of 4,730 feet.
Exploration and Production History
There is no production history on the Tonya Property. The history of mineral exploration began recently compared to many other gold prospect areas in Nevada.
1987
Lightning Star Mining acquired the Tonya claims
1988-1989
Preliminary surface mapping and rock chip sampling
1990-1992
Billiton Minerals drill 20 RC holes totaling 5,986 feet
1992-1993
Echo Bay leases property and drills 3,530 feet of RC drill holes
8
There has been no exploration activity on the Tonya Property since 1993. Both Billitons and Echo Bays programs encountered significant mineralization in their drilling. Gold Range Resources acquired the property through staking in 2006.
Competition
We are an exploration stage mineral resource exploration company that competes with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing and for the acquisition of mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford more geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to achieve the financing necessary for us to acquire mineral property interests and conduct exploration activities. We will also compete with other mineral exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in mineral exploration companies. The presence of competing mineral exploration companies may adversely impact on our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our exploration programs if investors are of the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment offered to investors. We will also be compete with other mineral companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, camp staff, mineral exploration supplies and drill rigs.
The mineral exploration industry, in general, is intensively competitive and even if commercial quantities of ore are discovered, a ready market may not exist for the sale of the ore. Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in our not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.
Intellectual Property
As of the date of this report, we do not own any patent or trademark.
Employees
We have no employees as of the date of this report other than Mr. Dave Gamache, our President, CEO and Principal Accounting Officer and Mr. Jared Beebe, our Director. Mr. Gamache is paid a monthly fee of $750 per month, Mr. Beebe is paid a monthly fee of $500 per month. There are no written employment contracts between the Company and Messrs. Gamache and Beebe. Mr. Gamache began providing services to the Company on September 15, 2008 and on July 15, 2011 Mr. Beebe began serving as our Director. We engage contractors on an as-needed basis to assist us in conducting exploration activities, planning for exploration and reviewing other exploration properties for diligence purposes. As such, we conduct our business largely through agreements with consultants and other independent third party vendors.
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not incurred any research or development expenditures since our incorporation.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following risk factors in evaluating our business and us. The factors listed below represent certain important factors that we believe could cause our business results to differ. These factors are not intended to represent a complete list of the general or specific risks that may affect us. It should be recognized that other risks may be significant, presently or in the future, and the risks set forth below may affect us to a greater extent
9
than indicated. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. You should also consider the other information included in this Annual Report and subsequent quarterly reports filed with the SEC.
Risks Related to Our Operations
We have yet to earn revenue and our ability to sustain our operations is dependent on our ability to raise financing.
We are an exploration stage Company; we have not generated any revenues since inception and we do not expect to generate any revenues for the foreseeable future, we incurred a net loss of $452,239 for the period from May 3, 2006 (inception) to December 31, 2012 and a loss of $104,679 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our long-term viability is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and future profitable operations from the commercial exploitation of our mineral claims or other operations.
Our ability to operate as a going concern is in doubt. If we do not obtain additional financing, we will need to curtail our exploration activities and our business may fail, in which case you may lose your investment.
The audit opinion and notes that accompany our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, disclose a going concern qualification to our ability to continue in business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is an exploration stage company and has incurred losses since its inception.
The Company currently has no historical recurring source of revenue and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Companys ability to raise capital to fund its future exploration and working capital requirements or its ability to profitably execute its mining plan. Management anticipates that for the next year of operations, our current operating funds should be sufficient to cover anticipated operating overheads, professional fees and regulatory filing fees. However, our existing funds may be insufficient if we decide to proceed with additional exploration programs. Therefore, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our full business plan.
In order for us to perform any further exploration or extensive testing we will need to obtain additional financing. As of December 31, 2012 we had cash in the amount of $54,189. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income. Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of mineral claims. The Companys plans for the long-term return to and continuation as a going concern include financing the Companys future operations through sales of its common stock and/or debt and the eventual profitable exploitation of its mining properties. Additionally, the current capital markets and general economic conditions in the United States are significant obstacles to raising the required funds. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
We depend largely on a single property - the Tonya Property.
Our sole mineral property at this time is the Tonya Property. We are dependent upon making mineral deposit discoveries at the Tonya Property for the furtherance of the Company at this time. Should we be able to make an economic find at Tonya Property, we would then be solely dependent upon a single mining operation for our revenue and profits, if any.
Because of the difficulties and uncertainties inherent in the mineral exploration business, we face a high risk of business failure.
At this time, we have not been successful in finding commercial mineral deposits on our properties; if all of our exploration efforts are not successful, we will be unable to generate revenues from our operations and we will have to cease doing business. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.
10
The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the mineral claims may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts.
Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.
The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. At the present time we have no coverage to insure against these hazards. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
We have no known mineral reserves and if we cannot find any, we will have to cease operations.
We have no mineral reserves. If we do not find a mineral reserve containing commercial quantities of gold, copper, or silver or if we cannot complete the exploration of the mineral reserve, either because we do not have the money to do it or because it will not be economically feasible to do it, we will have to cease operations and you will lose your investment. Mineral exploration is highly speculative. It involves many risks and is often non-productive. Even if we are able to find mineral reserves on our property our production capability is subject to further risks including:
·
Costs of bringing the property into production including exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production facilities, all of which we have not budgeted for;
·
Availability and costs of financing;
·
The quality of our management and our geological and technical expertise;
·
Ongoing costs of production; and
·
Environmental compliance regulations and restraints.
The marketability of any minerals acquired or discovered may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond our control and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the lack of milling facilities and processing equipment near our properties, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection.
Given the above noted risks, the chances of finding reserves on our mineral properties are remote and funds expended on exploration will likely be lost.
Because we will be subject to compliance with government regulation which may change, the anticipated costs of our exploration program may increase and require us to curtail or cease our operations.
There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral exploration or exploitation. We will be subject to the Nevada State, Pershing County and Federal BLM mining and mineral laws as we carry out our exploration programs. We may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with these regulations. While our planned exploration program budgets for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program. If any future regulatory requirements, applicable to our operations, increase the cost of our compliance, we may find it necessary to curtail or cease our exploration activities, in which event you may lose your investment.
Our activities are subject to environmental laws and regulation that may materially adversely affect our future operations, in which case our operations could be suspended or terminated.
We are subject to a variety of federal, state and local statutes, rules and regulations in connection with our exploration activities. We are required to obtain various governmental permits to conduct exploration at, and development of, our property. Obtaining the necessary governmental permits is often a complex and time-consuming process involving numerous federal, state and local agencies. The duration and success of each permitting effort is contingent upon many variables not within our control. In the context of permitting, including the approval of reclamation plans, we must comply with known standards, existing laws, and regulations that may entail greater or lesser costs and delays
11
depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and the interpretation of the laws and regulations implemented by the permitting authority. The failure to obtain certain permits or the adoption of more stringent permitting requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, plans of operation, and property in that we may not be able to proceed with our exploration programs. Compliance with statutory environmental quality requirements may require significant capital investments, significantly affect our earning power, or cause material changes in our intended activities. Environmental standards imposed by federal, state, or local governments may be changed or become more stringent in the future, which could materially and adversely affect our proposed activities. As a result of these matters, our operations could be suspended or cease entirely.
Minerals exploration and mining are subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. Insurance against environmental risk (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) is not generally available to us (or to other companies in the minerals industry) at a reasonable price. To the extent that we become subject to environmental liabilities, the remediation of any such liabilities would reduce funds otherwise available to us and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Laws and regulations intended to ensure the protection of the environment are constantly changing, and are generally becoming more restrictive.
Federal legislation and regulations adopted and administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Fish and Wildlife Service, Mine Safety and Health Administration, and other federal agencies, and legislation such as the Federal Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Endangered Species Act, and Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, have a direct bearing on U.S. exploration and mining operations within the United States. These regulations will make the process for preparing and obtaining approval of a plan of operations much more time-consuming, expensive, and uncertain. Plans of operation will be required to include detailed baseline environmental information and address how detailed reclamation performance standards will be met. In addition, all activities for which plans of operation are required will be subject to review by the BLM, which must make a finding that the conditions, practices or activities do not cause substantial irreparable harm to significant scientific, cultural, or environmental resource values that cannot be effectively mitigated.
U.S. federal initiatives are often administered and enforced through state agencies operating under parallel state statutes and regulations. Although some mines continue to be approved in the United States, the process is increasingly cumbersome, time-consuming, and expensive, and the cost and uncertainty associated with the permitting process could have a material effect on exploring and mining our properties. Compliance with statutory environmental quality requirements described above may require significant capital investments, significantly affect our earning power, or cause material changes in our intended activities. Environmental standards imposed by federal, state, or local governments may be changed or become more stringent in the future, which could materially and adversely affect our proposed activities. As a result of these matters, our operations could be suspended or cease entirely.
Because the BLM owns the land covered by our mineral claims and native land claims might affect our title to the mineral claims or to State and County title to the property, our business plan may fail. We are unaware of any outstanding native land claims with respect to any of our properties. However, it is possible that a native land claim could be made in the future. The federal and state government policy at this time is to consult with all potentially affected native bands and other stakeholders in the area of any potential mining. Should we encounter a situation where a native person or group claims an interest in our claims, we may be required to provide compensation to the affected party in order to continue with our exploration work, or if such an option is not available, we may have to relinquish our interest in these claims. In either case, the costs and/or losses could be greater than our financial capacity and our business would fail.

Market events and conditions, including disruptions in the U.S. and international credit markets and other financial systems and the deterioration of the U.S. and global economic conditions, could, among other things, impede access to capital or increase the cost of capital, which would have an adverse effect on our ability to fund our working capital and other capital requirements.
Beginning in late 2007, the U.S. credit markets began to experience serious disruption due to a deterioration in residential property values, defaults and delinquencies in the residential mortgage market (particularly, subprime and non-prime mortgages) and a decline in the credit quality of mortgage backed securities. These problems led to a slow-down in residential housing market transactions, declining housing prices, delinquencies in non-mortgage consumer credit and a general decline in consumer confidence. These conditions caused a loss of confidence in the broader U.S. and global credit and financial markets, resulting in the collapse of, and government intervention in, major banks, financial institutions and insurers and created a climate of greater volatility, less liquidity, widening of credit spreads, a lack of price transparency, increased credit losses and tighter credit conditions. Notwithstanding various actions by the U.S. and foreign governments, concerns about the general condition of the capital markets, financial instruments, banks, investment banks, insurers and other financial institutions caused the broader credit markets to further deteriorate and stock markets to decline substantially. In addition, general economic indicators have deteriorated, including declining consumer sentiment, increased unemployment and declining economic growth and uncertainty about corporate earnings.
These unprecedented disruptions in the current credit and financial markets have had and continue to have a significant material adverse impact on a number of financial institutions and have limited access to capital and credit for many companies. These disruptions could, among other things, make it more difficult for us to obtain, or increase our cost of obtaining, capital and financing for our operations. Our access to additional capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.
We may be adversely affected by a decrease in gold prices.
The value and price of our securities, our financial results, and our exploration activities may be significantly adversely affected by declines in the price of gold and other precious metals. Gold prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the relative value of the United States dollar against foreign currencies on the world market, global and regional supply and demand for gold, and the political and economic conditions of gold producing countries throughout the world. The price for gold fluctuates in response to many factors beyond anyones ability to predict. The prices that would be used in making any economic assessment estimates of mineralized material on our properties would be disclosed and would probably differ from daily prices quoted in the news media. Percentage changes in the price of gold cannot be directly related to any estimated resource quantities at any of our properties, as they are affected by a number of additional factors. For example, a ten percent change in the price of gold may have little impact on any estimated quantities of commercially viable mineralized material at the Tonya Property and would affect only the resultant cash flow. Because any future mining at the Tonya Property would occur over a number of years, it may be prudent to continue mining for some periods during which cash flows are temporarily negative for a variety of reasons, including a belief that a low price of gold is temporary and/or that a greater expense would be incurred in temporarily or permanently closing a mine there.
Mineralized material calculations and life-of-mine plans, if any, using significantly lower gold and precious metal prices could result in material write-downs of our investments in mining properties and increased reclamation and closure charges.
In addition to adversely affecting any of our mineralized material estimates and its financial aspects, declining metal prices may impact our operations by requiring a reassessment of the commercial feasibility of a particular project. Such a reassessment may be the result of a management decision related to a particular event, such as a cave-in of a mine tunnel or open pit wall. Even if any of our projects may ultimately be determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause substantial delays in establishing operations or may interrupt on-going operations, if any, until the reassessment can be completed.
13
We Rely On Our Management, The Loss Of Whose Services Could Have A Material Adverse Effect On Our Business.
We rely upon the services of our board of directors and management, in particular those of Mr. Dave Gamache and Mr. Jared Beebe the loss of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. Competition for qualified personnel to serve in a senior management position is intense. If we are not able to retain our director and management, or attract other qualified personnel, we may not be able to fully implement our business strategy; failure to do so would have a materially adverse impact on our future prospects.
We currently have no employment agreements with our officers and directors imposing any specific condition on our officers and directors regarding their continued employment by us. Our officers and directors are also officers, directors and employees of other companies, and we may have to compete with such other companies for their time, attention and efforts. We do not maintain key man insurance on any of our directors or officers.
We may compete for time and efforts of our officer and director
Our officers and directors are also officer and directors and employees of other companies, and we may have to compete with other companies for their time, attention and efforts. Our officer and director Mr. Dave Gamache expects to devote approximately twenty five (25%) of his time to our affairs. Our director Mr. Jared Beebe expects to devote twenty percent (20%) of his time to our affairs.
Our proposed businesses raise potential conflicts of interests between our officer and director and us.
Our director may become a director and employee of other mineral exploration companies and, to the extent that such companies may participate in ventures in which we may participate, our director may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation by us and such other companies. In addition, our director may present potential prospects to such other companies rather than presenting the opportunities to us or be affiliated with other exploration companies which may compete with our mineral claims. We have not established any mechanisms regarding the resolution of any such conflict if it were to arise; accordingly, there is no assurance that any such conflict will be resolved in a manner that would not be adverse to our interest.
We compete with larger, better capitalized competitors in the mining industry.
The mining industry is acutely competitive in all of its phases. We face strong competition from other mining companies in connection with the acquisition of exploration stage properties, or properties capable of producing precious metals. Many of these companies have greater financial resources, operational experience and technical capabilities than us. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to maintain or acquire attractive mining properties on terms we consider acceptable or at all. Consequently, our revenues, operations and financial condition and possible future revenues could be materially adversely affected by actions by our competitors. At our sole property, Tonya Property in Nevada, we face no other competitors at this time.
Risks Particular to the market of our Common Stock
Broker-dealers may be discouraged from effecting transactions in our common stock because they are considered a penny stock and are subject to the penny stock rules.
Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on certain brokers-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock. Subject to certain exceptions, a penny stock generally includes any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The market price of our common stock on the FINRA OTCBB during the twelve month period ended June 30, 2011, ranged between a high of $0.60 and a low of $0.60, and our common stock is deemed penny stock for the purposes of the Exchange Act. The additional sales practice and disclosure requirements imposed upon brokers-dealers may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of the stock and impede the sale of our stock in the secondary market.
14
A broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor, generally, an individual with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or an annual income exceeding $200,000, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse, must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchasers written consent to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the penny stock held in a customers account and information with respect to the limited market in penny stocks.
We have a large number of restricted shares outstanding, a portion of which may be sold under rule 144 which may reduce the market price of our shares.
Of the 12,180,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, assuming no warrants are exercised, 10,000,000 shares are deemed restricted securities, within the meaning of Rule 144; eighty two (82%) percent of these restricted shares are owned by one person, our former President and Director and controlling shareholder. Absent registration under the Securities Act, the sale of such shares is subject to Rule 144, as promulgated under the Securities Act.
It is anticipated that all of the restricted securities will be eligible for resale under Rule 144. In general, under Rule 144, subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions, a person, who is not an affiliate (and who has not been an affiliate for a period of at least three months immediately preceding the sale) and who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months is permitted to sell such shares without restriction, provided that there is sufficient public information about us as contemplated by Rule 144. An affiliate who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for a period of at least one year may sell a number of shares equal to one percent of our issued and outstanding common stock approximately every three months.
Because our former executive officer and director owns 82% of our outstanding common stock, investors may find that corporate decisions controlled by this individual are inconsistent with the interests of other stockholders.
Our former President controls 82% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Accordingly, in accordance with our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, our former Director is able to control who is elected to our board of directors and thus could act, or could have the power to act, as our management. Since our former Director is our majority shareholder, his interests as a controlling shareholder may, at times, be adverse to those of passive investors. Where those conflicts exist, our shareholders will be dependent upon our former Director exercising in a manner fair to all of our shareholders. Also, due to his stock ownership position, our former Director will have (i) the ability to control the outcome of substantially all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including amendments to our articles of incorporation; (ii) the ability to control corporate combinations or similar transactions that might benefit minority stockholders which may be rejected by our former Director to their detriment, and (iii) control over transactions between him and us.
Future sales of shares by us may reduce the value of our stock.
Since our inception, we have relied on such equity sales of our common stock to fund our operations. We may conduct further equity offerings in the future to finance our current projects or to finance subsequent projects that we decide to undertake. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current stockholders. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to fund our business operations. If we issue additional stock, your percentage interest in us will be diluted. The result of this could reduce the value of your stock.
15
In the event that your investment in our shares is for the purpose of deriving dividend income or in expectation of an increase in market price of our shares from the declaration and payment of dividends, your investment will be compromised because we do not intend to pay dividends
We have never paid a dividend to our shareholders, and we intend to retain our cash for the continued growth of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. As a result, your return on investment will be solely determined by your ability to sell your shares in a secondary market, or in reliance on the sale of your common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our corporate and administrative office is located at 6805 Sundance Trail, Riverside, California 92506. This office is provided to us on rent free basis by our President and CEO. We believe that our facilities are adequate for our current operations.
A description of our resources properties is set forth above in Item 1. Business.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may be a defendant and plaintiff in various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of our business. We are currently not a party to any material pending legal proceedings or government actions, including any bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceedings. In addition, management is not aware of any known litigation or liabilities that could affect our operations. Should any liabilities be incurred in the future, they will be accrued based on managements best estimate of the potential loss. As such, there is no adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow at this time. Furthermore, management does not believe that there are any proceedings to which any director, officer, or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record of the beneficially or more than five percent of the common stock of the Company, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto. Our fiscal year ends December 31. This document contains certain forward-looking statements including, among others, anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations and our business strategy. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. (See Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors "). Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include (i) changes in external factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of operations; (ii) unanticipated working capital or other cash requirements; (iii) changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the industries in which we operate; and (iv) various competitive market factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace.
Overview
We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. On December 19, 2011, we attained 100% mineral interest rights to the Tonya Property. We have elected to write down our three British Columbia properties due to poor indications of mineralization on our phase one exploration programs in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Although exploratory work in the area of our present property conducted by others has indicated some potential showings of mineralization, we are uncertain as to the reproducibility of these prior exploration results and thus we are uncertain as to the potential existence of a commercially viable mineral deposit existing on our mineral claim.
Our plan of operations is to carry out an initial exploration program on our Tonya Property in order to ascertain whether any commercially exploitable mineral deposit is present. We intend to set out an exploration program as described below in phases.
The Tonya Property
There are 17 unpatented lode mining claims, the Tonya #521 through and inclusive of Tonya #538. The property covers approximately 340 acres. The claims are governed under the Mining Law of 1872. The mineral rights on the Tonya Property are a split estate. The mineral rights together with the right of ingress and egress are retained in public ownership, managed by the Bureau of Land Management and subject to such appropriation under applicable mining laws. The surface rights on the Tonya Property have passed into private ownership.
Our initial start of our exploration will be to review previous data and maps. Then we intend to employ and carry out detailed geological surface mapping, soil sampling, and geophysics along with ground magnetic, IP and Resistivity surveys. After we are able to understand the geology on our Tonya Property, we will follow up with a drill program of RC and diamond core drilling to test favorable areas.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and related disclosures. We review our estimates on an ongoing basis.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been made could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. While our significant accounting policies are
18
described in more detail in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
·
Exploration and development costs represent costs incurred to explore our Tonya Property. The cost of exploration includes such items as wages, contract fees, lodging, 4X4 vehicle rentals, field supplies, assays and management fee to our exploration contractor. We charge all exploration expenses to operations as they are incurred. We do not track exploration and development expenses by project.
·
Estimates of the recoverability of the carrying value of our mining and mineral property assets. We use publicly available pricing or valuation estimates of comparable property and equipment to assess the carrying value of our mining and mineral property assets. However, if future results vary materially from the assumptions and estimates used by us, we may be required to recognize an impairment in the assets carrying value.
·
Estimates of our environmental liabilities. Our potential obligations in environmental remediations, asset retirement obligations or reclamation activities are considered critical due to the assumptions and estimates inherent in accruals of such liabilities, including uncertainties relating to specific reclamation and remediation methods and costs, the application and changing of environmental laws, regulations and interpretations by regulatory authorities.
Results of Operations for Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
We had no revenues in 2012 and 2011. Our operating expenses increased to $104,980 in 2012, from $42,871 in the same period in 2011. This increase was primarily attributable to mineral exploration costs incurred during 2012.
Interest income decreased to $283 in 2012, from $638 during the same period in 2011. This was the result of lower average cash balances and lower interest paid during 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources for Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
We are an exploration stage company and have incurred losses since our inception.
At December 31, 2012, we had a cash balance of $54,189, compared to a cash balance of $164,738 at December 31, 2011. During 2012, we used $104,980 of net cash in operating activities, as compared to $43,457 of net cash used in 2011.
We financed our operations primarily from cash on hand, through private placements and proceeds from public offerings. Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 for 2012 and 2011.
We do not have any arrangements, understandings or agreements with any person regarding any additional financings.
We have not generated any revenues and have incurred an accumulated deficit of $452,239 since inception. We incurred a loss of $104,697 during the year ended December 31, 2012. We face all the risks common to companies in their early stages of development including under capitalization and uncertainty of funding sources, high initial expenditure levels, uncertain revenue streams, and difficulties in managing growth. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. Our financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The future of the Company hereafter will depend in large part on our ability to successfully raise capital from external sources to pay for planned expenditures to locate and develop mineral claims and to fund operations.
If and when the time comes to obtain additional funding in order to proceed with additional exploration of one or more of our properties, we anticipate that such funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding from
19
the sale of our common stock to fund further exploration. We believe that debt financing will not be a viable alternative for funding any further phases in our exploration program. The risky nature of this enterprise and lack of tangible assets places debt financing beyond the credit-worthiness required by most banks or typical investors of corporate debt until such time as an economically viable mine can be demonstrated. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing. Failure to raise needed financing could result in our having to discontinue our mining exploration and development business.
Plan of Operations
Our plan of operation has been to conduct mineral exploration on our properties in order to assess whether the properties contain mineral reserves capable of commercial extraction. Our exploration program is designed to explore for commercially viable deposits of copper, silver and gold. We have not, nor has any predecessor, identified any commercially exploitable reserves of these minerals on any of our properties.
Since we are in the exploration stage of our business plan, we have not yet earned any revenues from our planned operations. As of December 31, 2012 we had $54,189 cash on hand and $-0- in total liabilities. From our inception May 3, 2006 through December 31, 2012 we have incurred a net loss of $452,239.
We have sufficient cash to pay the anticipated costs of the proposed phase one on our Tonya Property; in such a case, the decision to conduct additional recommended exploration program will be dependent upon a number of factors such as our consulting geologists recommendations based upon results of our exploration program and available financing at that time.
The actual cost of completing the exploration program may exceed our estimates of those costs. If the actual costs of the exploration program are substantially greater than we have estimated, we may be required to seek additional financing prior to the completion of phase two of the proposed three phase program. In addition, if we decide to proceed with additional work beyond phase three of our proposed exploration activities, of which there is no assurance, we may also be required to seek additional financing. We do not have any arrangements, understandings or agreements with any person regarding any additional financings.
During the exploration stage of our business, our President will be devoting approximately 25% of his time to our business. We do not foresee this limited involvement negatively impacting our company over the next twelve months as all exploratory work has been, and will continue to be, performed by outside consultants. Additionally, we will not have a need to hire any employees over the next twelve months, nor do we plan to make any purchases of equipment over the next twelve months. Outside consultants and geologists will be expected to provide all tools needed for the exploratory work being conducted. There is no assurance that we will achieve all or any of our goals due to the exploration stage of our business.

Management Fees
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we incurred a management fee of $9,000 to our President and CEO, which was comprised of a monthly fee of $750 and $6,000 to our Director, Mr. Jared Beebe, which was comprised of a monthly fee of $500. There is no employment, management or consulting agreement with our Directors and Officers in effect nor is there an agreement in place to convert debt to equity between us and our officer and director.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Duke Mountain Resources, Inc. and Subsidiary
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Riverside, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Duke Mountain Resources, Inc. and Subsidiary (an Exploration Stage Company) (the Company) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from inception on May 3, 2006 to December 31, 2012. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements for the period from inception on May 3, 2006 to December 31, 2008 were audited by other auditors whose report expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements for the period from inception on May 3, 2006 to December 31, 2008 include total revenues of $0 and a net loss of $150,128, respectively. Our opinion on the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the period from inception on May 3, 2006 to December 31, 2012, insofar as it relates to amounts from inception on May 3, 2006 to December 31, 2008, is based solely on the reports of other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Duke Mountain Resources, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from inception on May 3, 2006 to December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has had no revenues and has generated losses from operations since inception. Those conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans in regard to those matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

DUKE MOUNTAIN RESOURCES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Organization
Duke Mountain Resources, Inc. (the Company"), a Nevada Corporation, was formed on May 3, 2006 with authorized capital of 76,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share.
On September 21, 2007, the Company established a Canadian operating subsidiary, Duke Mountain Resources Canada, Inc. The Canadian operating subsidiary will conduct all mineral explorations for Duke Mountain Resources, Inc. Duke Mountain Resources Canada, Inc. controls over 1,503 hectares of mineral claims. All mineral claims were transferred to our Canadian operating subsidiary Duke Mountain Resources Canada, Inc., on December 21, 2007 from our former President and Chief Executive Officer. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company fully impaired these mineral claims totaling $40,000.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Duke Mountain Resources Canada, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Duke Mountain Resources, Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiary, is an exploration stage company focused on the acquisition, exploration, and development of gold, silver and base metal properties.
The Company has not generated any revenues and has incurred an accumulated deficit of $452,239 since inception. The Company has incurred a loss of $104,697 during the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company faces all the risks common to companies in their early stages of development including under capitalization and uncertainty of funding sources, high initial expenditure levels, uncertain revenue streams, and difficulties in managing growth. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. Continuation as a going concern is dependent upon achieving a profitable level of operations and on the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. The future of the Company hereafter will depend in large part on the Companys ability to successfully raise capital from external sources to pay for planned expenditures to locate and develop mineral claims and to fund operations. The Companys financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Principles of Accounting
These consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. Dollars and have been prepared by management on the accrual basis in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP).
27
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Areas where management uses subjective judgment include valuation of equity instruments and related party transactions. Actual results can differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Mineral Exploration and Development Costs
All exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Costs of acquisition and option costs of mineral rights are capitalized upon acquisition. Mine development costs incurred to develop new ore deposits, to expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the property is determined to be a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. If the Company does not continue with exploration after the completion of the feasibility study, the cost of mineral rights will be expensed at that time. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to mining costs, including related property and equipment costs. To determine if capitalized costs are in excess of their recoverable amount, periodic evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property and equipment costs are performed based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with ASC 360-10-35-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company impaired its mineral claims held by Duke Mountain Resources Canada, Inc. totaling $40,000.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense includes the estimated fair value of equity awards vested during the reporting period. The expense for equity awards vested during the reporting period is determined based upon the grant date fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the applicable vesting period of the stock award using the straight-line method.
Earnings (Loss) per Share
Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Companys warrants are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they are anti-dilutive due to the Companys losses during those periods.
Subsequent Events
Company management reviewed all material events through the date of this report for potential subsequent event disclosure.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of its consolidated financial statements. The Companys management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
28
NOTE 2 - MINERAL RIGHTS
On November 22, 2011, the Company entered into a lease of mineral properties, known as the Tonya Property. In December 2011, the Company paid $20,000 as an advance royalty payment pursuant to the lease agreement. In 2012, the Company paid an additional $5,572 in connection with the leases.

The Company has accumulated net operating loss carryovers of approximately $414,400 as of December 31, 2012 which are available to reduce future taxable income. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes may be subject to annual limitations. A change in ownership may limit the utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards in future years. The tax losses begin to expire in 2027.

NOTE 4 - WARRANTS
On October 31, 2007, the Company completed a public offering for $310,000 where investors purchased 775,000 units for $0.40 per unit (760,000 shares purchased on August 29, 2007 and 15,000 shares purchased on October 31, 2007).

ITEM 9. CHANGE IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
We have had no disagreements with our independent auditors with respect to accounting practices, procedures or financial disclosure.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive and principal financial officers have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a 15(e) and 15d 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. They have concluded that, based on such evaluation, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2012.
(b) Managements Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Overview
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, our management has conducted an assessment using the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Our companys internal control over financial reporting, as defined in rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Based on our assessment, under the criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework, issued by COSO, our management has concluded that our company has a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. The weakness exists with regard to segregation of duties, in that one employee does the accounting, accounts payable and banking transactions. In conjunction with the lack of segregation of duties, the Company did not institute specific anti-fraud controls. While management found no evidence of fraudulent activity, certain individuals have access to both accounting records and corporate assets, principally the operating bank account. Additionally, the Company does not have an audit committee to oversee the financial reporting and disclosure process. As a result, our internal controls were not effective at December 31, 2012.
Evaluation of the Companys Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our companys disclosure controls and procedures are not effective, as of December 31, 2012, in ensuring that material information relating to us required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities Exchange Commission rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
32
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Companys last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
None.

Meetings of the Board of Directors
Our directors are expected to attend meetings of the Board. Our directors are expected to spend the time needed at each meeting and to meet as frequently as necessary to properly discharge their responsibilities. We encourage members of our Board of Directors to attend annual meetings of stockholders, but we do not have a formal policy requiring them to do so. Our Board of Directors met two times and acted by unanimous written minutes two times during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Our Director Mr. Beebe was compensated $6,000 in 2012, which was payable through a monthly fee of $500.

33
There is no employment, management or consulting agreements in effect nor is there an agreement in place to convert debt to equity between us and any of our officers and directors.
Audit Committee
The Board does not currently have a standing Audit Committee. The full Board performs the principal functions of the Audit Committee. The full Board monitors the Company's financial reporting process and internal control system and reviews and appraises the audit efforts of the Company's independent accountants.
Compensation Committee.
The Board does not currently have a standing Compensation Committee. The full Board establishes overall compensation policies for the Company and reviews recommendations submitted by the Companys management.
Nominating Committee.
The Board does not currently have a standing Nominating Committee. The Company does not maintain a policy for considering nominees. The Companys Bylaws provides that the number of Directors shall be fixed from time to time by the Board, but in no event shall be less than the minimum required by law. The Board shall be large enough to maintain the Companys required expertise but not too large to function efficiently. Director nominees are recommended, reviewed and approved by the entire Board. The Board believes that this process is appropriate due to the relatively small number of directors on the Board and the opportunity to benefit from a variety of opinions and perspectives in determining director nominees by involving the full Board.
While the Board is solely responsible for the selection and nomination of directors, the Board may consider nominees recommended by Stockholders as it deems appropriate. Stockholders who wish to recommend a nominee should send nominations to the Companys Chief Executive Officer, Dave Gamache, 6805 Sundance Trail, Riverside CA, 92506, that include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of directors. The recommendation must be accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated by the Board and to serve if elected.
Communications with the Board of Directors
Stockholders who wish to communicate with the Board of Directors may do so by addressing their correspondence to the Board of Directors at Duke Mountain Resources, Inc., Attention: Corporate Secretary, 6805 Sundance Trail, Riverside CA, 92506. The Board of Directors has approved a process pursuant to which the Corporate Secretary shall review and forward correspondence to the appropriate director or group of directors for response
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer or principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as well as to all our directors, officers and employees. Our Code of Conduct and Ethics is posted on our Internet website. Our Internet website is www.dukemountain.com. We intend to post on our website any amendment to, or waiver from, any provision of our Code of Conduct and Ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting or other persons performing similar functions that relates to any element of our Code regarding: (1) honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; (2) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in our reports and other filings with the SEC or our public communications; (3) compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; (4) prompt internal reporting of the violations of our code to an appropriate person identified in our code; and (5) accountability for adherence to our code.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR
INDEPENDENCE
Related Transactions
There were no related party transactions during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Review, Approval or Ratification of Related Party Transactions
We do not maintain a formal written procedure for the review and approval of transactions with related persons. It is our policy for the disinterested members of our board to review all related party transactions on a case by case basis. To receive approval, a related-party transaction must have a business purpose for us and be on terms that are fair and reasonable to us and as favorable to us as would be available from non-related entities in comparable transactions.
Director Independence
Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not currently have any independent directors. Although Duke Mountain currently is not a listed company on any national stock exchange, our Board of Directors uses the AMEX company rules as a guideline in its determination of director independence. Under those rules, no director would qualify as independent unless our Board of Directors affirmatively determines that the director does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Specifically, no director would qualify as independent if (a) during the past three years, the director or family member was employed by the Company, (b) the director accepted or has an immediate family member who accepted any compensation from the Company in excess of $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the three preceding years, or (c) the director is, or has an immediate family member who is, a current partner of the Company's outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of the Company's outside auditor who worked on the Company's audit at any time during any of the past three years.
