Lithium Corporation
Notes to the Financial Statements
March 31, 2021
(unaudited)
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Lithium Corporation (formerly Utalk Communications Inc.) (the “Company”)
was incorporated on January 30, 2007 under the laws of Nevada. On September 30,
2009, Utalk Communications Inc. changed its name to Lithium Corporation.
Nevada Lithium Corporation was incorporated on March 16, 2009 under the
laws of Nevada under the name Lithium Corporation. On September 10, 2009, the
Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Nevada
Lithium Corporation. By agreement dated October 9, 2009 Nevada Lithium
Corporation and Lithium Corporation amalgamated as Lithium Corporation. Lithium
Corporation is engaged in the acquisition and development of certain lithium
interests in the state of Nevada, and battery or Tech metals prospects in
British Columbia and is currently in the exploration stage.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"
accounting). The Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on account, demand deposits, and short-term
instruments with maturities of three months or less.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of
which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually
monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any
losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any
significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from
Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from
the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform
pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a
customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3)
determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each
performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each
performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has
not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue
Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria
are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance
of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the
amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the
collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.
There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of
adopting Topic 606 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, or the
twelve months ended December 31, 2020.

Income per Share
Basic income per share is computed by dividing loss available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the
conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such
conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings per
share. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted
earnings per share by application of the "if converted" method. In
the periods in which a loss is incurred, the effect of potential issuances of
shares under options and warrants would be anti-dilutive, and therefore basic
and diluted losses per share are the same. The Company did not have any
dilutive securities for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Income Taxes
The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by
recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax
basis of assets and liabilities.
Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, deposits, prepaid
expenses, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted,
it is management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest,
currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Because of
the short maturity and capacity of prompt liquidation of such assets and
liabilities, the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their
carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
Mineral Properties
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease
properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are
capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has
taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest,
these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be
subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by
undetected defects. Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used
in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted
cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets'
carrying amount.
Optioned Properties
Properties under the Company’s ownership which have been optioned to a
third party are deemed the Company’s property until all obligations under an
option agreement are met, at which point the ownership of the property
transfers to the third party. All non-refundable payments received prior to all
obligations under an option agreement being met are considered liabilities
until such time all obligations have been met, at which time ownership of the
property transfers to the third party and the Company includes option payments
into its statement of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB"), issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")
2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and
Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which amends
the guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on the
classification and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current
guidance primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial
liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure
requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance
related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax
assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from
Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from
the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform
pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a
customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine
the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance
obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance
obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been
adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition.
Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1)
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service
has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee
to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability
of the fee is reasonably assured.
Note 2 – Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a
working capital of $237,490 as at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020: $191,235)
and has used $86,906 (2020: $48,238) of cash in operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2021. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to
continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and
implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a
going concern.
Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain
additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity
for the Company to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Under FASB ASC 820-10-5, fair value is defined as the price that would
be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit
price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value
hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value
measurements and the related disclosures. Under GAAP, certain assets and
liabilities must be measured at fair value, and FASB ASC 820-10-50 details the
disclosures that are required for items measured at fair value.
The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured
under the new fair value standard. The Company’s financial assets and
liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value
hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:
- |
Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the
ability to access at the measurement date. |
- |
Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for
similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other
than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g.,
interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally
from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means
(market corroborated inputs). |
- |
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions
about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset
or liability. |
|

The following schedule summarizes the valuation of financial instruments
at fair value on a recurring basis in the balance sheets as of March 31, 2021
and December 31, 2020, respectively:

Our unaudited financial statements are stated in
United States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The following discussion should be
read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that
appear elsewhere in this quarterly report. The following discussion contains
forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our
actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the
forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and
elsewhere in this quarterly report.
Our financial statements are stated in United
States Dollars (US$) and are prepared in accordance with United States
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
In this quarterly report, unless otherwise specified,
all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars and all references to
“common shares” refer to the common shares in our capital stock.
As used in this quarterly report, the terms “we”,
“us”, “our” and “our company” mean Lithium Corporation and our now defunct
wholly-owned subsidiary Lithium Royalty Corp., a Nevada company, unless
otherwise indicated.
General Overview
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of
Nevada on January 30, 2007 under the name “Utalk Communications Inc.”. At
inception, we were a development stage corporation engaged in the business of
developing and marketing a call-back service using a call-back platform.
Because we were not successful in implementing our business plan, we considered
various alternatives to ensure the viability and solvency of our company.
On August 31, 2009, we entered into a letter of
intent with Nevada Lithium Corporation regarding a business combination which
could be effected in one of several different ways, including an asset
acquisition, merger of our company and Nevada Lithium, or a share exchange
whereby we would purchase the shares of Nevada Lithium from its shareholders in
exchange for restricted shares of our common stock.
Effective September 30, 2009, we effected a 1 old
for 60 new forward stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a
result, our authorized capital increased from 50,000,000 shares of common stock
with a par value of $0.001 to 3,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par
value of $0.001 and our then issued and outstanding shares increased from
4,470,000 shares of common stock to 268,200,000 shares of common stock.
Also effective September 30, 2009, we changed our
name from “Utalk Communications, Inc.” to “Lithium Corporation”, by way of a
merger with our wholly owned subsidiary Lithium Corporation, which was formed
solely for the change of name. The name change and forward stock split became
effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading
on October 1, 2009 under the stock symbol “LTUM”. Our CUSIP number is 536804
107.
|
11 |
On October 9, 2009, we entered into a share
exchange agreement with Nevada Lithium and the shareholders of Nevada Lithium.
The closing of the transactions contemplated in the share exchange agreement
and the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock in the
capital of Nevada Lithium occurred on October 19, 2009. In accordance with the
closing of the share exchange agreement, we issued 12,350,000 shares of our
common stock to the former shareholders of Nevada Lithium in exchange for the acquisition,
by our company, of all of the 12,350,000 issued and outstanding shares of
Nevada Lithium. Also, pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, a
director of our company cancelled 220,000,000 restricted shares of our common
stock. Nevada Lithium’s corporate status was allowed to lapse and the company’s
status with the Nevada Secretary of State has been revoked.
In April of 2016 our company established a wholly
owned subsidiary called Lithium Royalty Corp. The subsidiary was a Nevada Corporation
in which we had planned to build a portfolio of lithium mineral property
royalties. Also in April of 2016 Lithium Royalty Corp. staked a lithium
property consisting of a block of mineral claims that became known as the North
Big Smoky Property. On May 13th, 2016 Lithium Royalty Corp. sold the
North Big Smoky property to 1069934 Nevada Ltd., retaining a Net Smelter
Royalty. On April 28, 2017, the Company entered into an Assignment Agreement
with Lithium Royalty Corp. for the assignment of the residual interest in the
North Big Smoky Property and the subsidiary was subsequently voluntarily
dissolved with the Nevada Secretary of State with an effective date of April
28, 2017.
Our Current Business
We are an exploration stage mining company engaged
in the identification, acquisition, and exploration of metals and minerals with
a focus on lithium mineralization on properties located in Nevada, and Graphite
and Titanium/Rare Earth Element properties in British Columbia.
Our current operational focus is to judiciously
conduct exploration activities on all our mineral properties and generate
additional prospects for our exploration portfolio.
On March 2, 2017 we issued a news release announcing that we had signed
a letter of intent with Bormal Resources Inc. with respect to three
Tantalum-Niobium properties (Michael, Yeehaw, and Three Valley Gap) located in
British Columbia, Canada.
The Michael property in the Trail Creek Mining
Division was originally staked to cover one of the most compelling tantalum
(Ta) in stream sediment anomalies as seen in the government RGS database in
British Columbia. Bormal conducted a stream sediment sampling program in 2014,
and determined that the tantalum-niobium in stream sediment anomaly here is
bona fide, and in the order of 6 kilometers in length. In November of 2016
Lithium Corporation conducted a short soil geochemistry orientation program on
the property as part of its due diligence, and determined that there are
elevated levels of Niobium-Tantalum in soils here.
Also in the general area of the Michael property
the Yeehaw property had been staked over a similar but lower amplitude
Tantalum/rare earth elements in stream sediment anomaly. Both properties are
situated in the Eocene Coryell Batholith, and it is thought that these
anomalies may arise from either Carbonatite or Pegmatite type deposits. The
Company conducted a helicopter borne bio-geochemical survey on these two
properties in June 2017, which did return anomalous results. This was followed
up by a geological and geochemical examination of the Yeehaw property in early
July 2017, and additional work of a similar nature subsequently in July 2017,
and in early October 2017. The examination uncovered a zone roughly 30 meters
wide which includes an interval that is mineralized with approximately 0.75%
Total Rare Earth Elements (TREE’s). Preliminary geological, and geochemical
work were performed on the Michael property in October of 2016, followed by a
brief airborne biogeochemical survey in June of 2017, and additional ground
geological and geochemical assessment work in early October, 2017, follow-up
work in May of 2018, and more work in 2019, and 2020.
The third property – Three Valley Gap, is in the
Revelstoke Mining Division and is situated in a locale where several Nb-Ta
enriched carbonatites have been noted to occur. A brief field program by Bormal
in 2015 located one of these carbonatites, and concurrent soil sampling
determined that the soils here are enriched with Nb-Ta over the known
carbonatite, and indicated that there are other geochemical anomalies locally
that may indicate that more carbonatites exist here and are shallowly buried.
|
12 |
On February 23, 2018 we issued a news release
announcing that we had dropped any interest in the Michael and Three Valley Gap
properties, and had renegotiated the final share payment as required in the
agreement from 750,000 to 400,000 shares. The final consideration shares have
been issued and the Yeehaw property has been transferred by Bormal. During 2017
the Company conducted initial stream, rock and magnetometer surveys on the
property, and discovered a 30 meter wide structure (Horseshoe Bend showing)
that exhibits anomalous Titanium/REE mineralization. The company has staked an
additional 5227 acre (2115.51 hectares) mineral claim and conducted a brief
exploration program in Spring 2018 of geological mapping and rock and soil
sampling on the property. This program discovered a slightly stronger zone of
similar mineralization approximately 660 feet (200 meters) to the northwest of
the Horseshoe Bend, and similar float mineralization another 0.75 miles (1.2
kms) further to the northwest. Work in 2019 discovered the extension to the
west of the mineralized structure, and also similar mineralized float was found
to the east that possibly indicates it strikes under cover in that direction
also.
On February 16, 2017 we issued a news release announcing that we had
signed a letter of intent with Nevada Sunrise Gold Corp. with respect to our
Salt Wells lithium in brine prospect located in Churchill County Nevada.
Under the terms of the agreement NEV (TSX-V - NEV, OTC - NVSGF) could
have earned a 100% interest in the Property subject to a 2% Net Smelter Royalty
(NSR) by making staged payments of cash and shares over the next two years. The
terms are;
|
· |
$10,000 non-refundable deposit on signing the LOI |
|
· |
$15,000 & issue 400,000 common shares of NEV
on the later of TSX-V approval or the signing of a formal definitive
agreement |
|
· |
$50,000 & 500,000 shares - 1st anniversary |
|
· |
$75,000 & 600,000 shares - 2nd anniversary |
NEV was to pay all claim and other property related fees during the
earn-in phase of the agreement, and would have also retained the right to
purchase one half (1%) of the NSR at any time up until the third anniversary of
the signing of the formal agreement for $1,000,000. Issues arose with respect
to the claim block and Nevada Sunrise’s understanding of the placement of the
block, and ultimately it was determined that the Company would be best served
by cancelling the agreement and refunding the money (minus bank fees) that
Nevada Sunrise had sent. An informal letter agreement releasing the parties of
all obligations save for the Area of Mutual Interest clause, was executed by
both parties on May 5, 2017.
On May 13, 2016 our wholly owned subsidiary sold 100%
of the interest in the North Big Smoky Property through a Property Acquisition
Agreement with the private company 1069934 Nevada Ltd. ("Purchaser").
Consideration paid to Lithium Royalty Corp. consisted of $10,000.00,
reimbursement of staking and filing fees, 300,000 shares in the "Purchaser
Parent", 1069934 B.C. Ltd., Lithium Royalty Corp. retained a 2.5% Net
Smelter Royalty ("Vendor NSR") on the North Big Smoky Property and
the Purchaser has the right to purchase up to one-half (50%) of the Vendor NSR
for $1,000,000 to reduce the Vendor NSR to 1.25%. On September 16, 2017 Lithium
Corporation agreed to sell back the shares of 1069934 Nevada Ltd. to San Antone
Minerals Corp. (successor of 1069934) by an agreement dated Sept 13th,
2017 for $3,000. Lithium Corporation was compensated on November 02, 2017.
On February 16, 2016, we issued a news release
announcing that our company has entered into a letter of intent with 1032701
B.C. Ltd. with respect to our Fish Lake Valley lithium brine property in Esmeralda
County, Nevada. On March 10, 2016 we issued a news release announcing the
signing of the Fish Lake Valley Earn-In Agreement. The terms of the Earn-In
Agreement allow 1032701 to earn an 80% interest in Fish Lake Valley for
payments over two years totaling $300,000 and issuance of 400,000 common shares
of the publicly traded company anticipated to result from a Going Public
Transaction, and work performed on the property over three years in the amount
of $1,100,000. 1032701 then has a Subsequent Earn-In option to purchase Lithium
Corporation's remaining 20% working interest within one year of earning the 80%
by paying the Company a further $1,000,000, at that point the Company would
retain a 2.5% Net Smelter Royalty, half of which may be purchased by 1032701
for an additional $1,000,000. Should the Purchaser elect not to exercise the
Subsequent Earn-In, a joint venture will be established. During the Joint
Venture, should either party be diluted below a 10% working interest - their
interest in the property will revert to a 7.5% Net Smelter Royalty. The first
tranche of cash and shares are to be issued within 60 days of the signing of
the formal agreement. Menika Mining, a publicly traded company on the TSX
Venture Exchange trading under the symbol MML announced on March 8, 2016 that
it intended to acquire 1032701 B.C. Ltd and the right to acquire the Fish Lake
Valley Property. Menika Mining completed the acquisition of 1032701 B.C. and
changed their name to American Lithium Corp. They fulfilled the initial obligations
of the Fish Lake Valley Earn-In-Agreement in April of 2016, and all year 1 and
year 2 anniversary obligations have been met. To date, we have received
$300,000 and have received 480,000 common shares (effectively 210,000 shares
subsequent to a 10:1 reverse split and then a 2:1 forward split) in relation to
the Fish Lake option agreement. The Company received formal relinquishment of
the Purchasers right to earn the interest in the property on April 30th 2019.
|
13 |
Effective May 3, 2016, our company entered in to an Exploration Earn-In
Agreement with 1067323 B.C. Ltd. with respect to our San Emidio property. The
terms of the formal agreement are; payment of $100,000, issuance of 300,000
common shares of 1067323 B.C. Ltd., or of the publicly traded company
anticipated to result from a Going Public Transaction, and work performed on
the property by the Optionee in the amount of $600,000 over the next three
years to earn an 80% interest in the property. 1067323 then has a subsequent
Earn-In option to purchase Lithium Corporation's remaining 20% working interest
within three years of earning the 80% by paying our company a further
$1,000,000, at that point our company would retain a 2.5% Net Smelter Royalty,
half of which may be purchased by 1067323 for an additional $1,000,000. Should
the Purchaser elect not to exercise the Subsequent Earn-In, a joint venture
will be established. 1067323 B.C. Ltd. merged with American Lithium Corp., and
the first tranche of cash and shares were issued in June of 2016. The Company
waived the work requirement for the first year and received 100,000 shares of
American Lithium Corp. in May of 2017. During the period ended June 30, 2018,
the Company received notification that the purchaser had returned the property
and, as such, $202,901 was taken into income.
On April 29, 2021 we signed a Letter Of Intent (LOI) with Altura Mining
Limited an Australian Lithium explorer and developer, whereby the Altura can
earn a 60% interest in the Fish Lake Valley property by paying the Company
$675,000, issuing the equivalent of $500,000 worth of Altura stock, and
expending $2,000,000 of exploration work in the next four years. To date Altura
has paid the initial $50,000 due at the signing of the LOI, and the parties
have until July 31, 2021 to enter into a formal agreement.
Our company intends to continue identifying
additional lithium properties in Nevada and to conduct exploration on our
British Columbia properties, while resuming exploration at San Emidio, and
tracking progress at Fish Lake Valley. We will continue assessing our options
with respect to our 25% interest in Summa, LLC, a private Nevada company, which
holds the residue of the “Howard Hughes” Summa Corp., and whose Tonopah
prospect is presently optioned to Summa Silver Corp, while generating new
prospects and evaluating property submittals for option or purchase.
Fish Lake Valley Property
Fish Lake Valley is a lithium enriched playa (also
known as a salar, or salt pan), which is located in northern Esmeralda County
in west central Nevada, and the property is roughly centered at 417050E
4195350N (NAD 27 CONUS). We currently hold eighteen, 80-acre Association Placer
claims that cover approximately 1,440 acres (582.75 hectares). Lithium-enriched
Tertiary-era Fish Lake formation rhyolitic tuffs or ash flow tuffs have
accumulated in a valley or basinal environment. Over time interstitial
formational waters in contact with these tuffs, have become enriched in
lithium, boron and potassium which could possibly be amenable to extraction by
evaporative methods. Our claim block here has expanded and contracted twice, at
times when the lithium market has contracted, and the prudent thing to do would
be to only maintain essential claims, in order to preserve capital.
The property was originally held under mining lease
purchase agreement dated June 1, 2009, between Nevada Lithium Corporation, and
Nevada Alaska Mining Co. Inc., Robert Craig, Barbara Craig, and Elizabeth
Dickman. Nevada Lithium issued to the vendors $350,000 worth of common stock of
our company in eight regular disbursements. All disbursements were made of
stock worth a total of $350,000, and claim ownership was transferred to our
company.
The geological setting at Fish Lake Valley is highly
analogous to the salars of Chile, Bolivia, and Peru, and more importantly
Clayton Valley, where Albemarle has its Silver Peak lithium-brine operation.
Access is excellent in Fish Lake Valley with all-weather gravel roads leading
to the property from state highways 264, and 265, and maintained gravel roads
ring the playa. Power is available approximately 10 miles from the property,
and the village of Dyer is approximately 12 miles to the south, while the town
of Tonopah, Nevada is approximately 50 miles to the east.

Our company completed a number of geochemical and
geophysical studies on the property, and conducted a short drill program on the
periphery of the playa in the fall of 2010. Near-surface brine sampling during
the spring of 2011 outlined a boron/lithium/potassium anomaly on the northern
portions of the northern playa, that is roughly 1.3 x 2 miles long, which has a
smaller higher grade core where lithium mineralization ranges from 100 to 150
mg/L (average 122.5 mg/L), with boron ranging from 1,500 to 2,670 mg/L (average
2,219 mg/L), and potassium from 5,400 to 8,400 mg/L (average 7,030 mg/L). Wet
conditions on the playa precluded drilling there in 2011, and for a good
portion of 2012, however a window of opportunity presented itself in late fall
2012. In November/December 2012 we conducted a short direct push drill program
on the northern end of the playa, wherein a total of 1,240.58 feet (378.09
meters) was drilled in 20 holes at 17 discrete sites, and an area of 3,356 feet
(1,023 meters) by 2,776 feet (846 meters) was systematically explored by grid
probing. The deepest hole was 81 feet (24.69 meters), and the shallowest hole
that produced brine was 34 feet (10.36 meters). The average depth of the holes
drilled during the program was 62 feet (18.90 meters). The program successfully
demonstrated that lithium-boron-potassium-enriched brines exist to at least 62
feet (18.9 meters) depth in sandy or silty aquifers that vary from
approximately three to ten feet (one to three meters) in thickness. Average
lithium, boron and potassium contents of all samples are 47.05 mg/L, 992.7
mg/L, and 0.535% respectively, with lithium values ranging from 7.6 mg/L to
151.3 mg/L, boron ranging from 146 to 2,160.7 mg/L, and potassium ranging from
0.1 to 1.3%. The anomaly outlined by the program is 1,476 by 2,461 feet (450
meters by 750 meters), and is not fully delimited, as the area available for
probing was restricted due to soft ground conditions to the east and to the
south. A 50 mg/L lithium cutoff is used to define this anomaly and within this
zone average lithium, boron and potassium contents are 90.97 mg/L, 1,532.92
mg/L, and 0.88% respectively. On September 3, 2013, we announced that drilling
had commenced at Fish Lake Valley. Due to storms and wet conditions in the area
which our company hoped to concentrate on, the playa was not passable, and so
the program concentrated on larger step-out drilling well off the playa. This
11 hole, 1,025 foot program did prove that mineralization does not extend much,
if at all, past the margins of the playa, as none of the fluids encountered in
this program were particularly briny, and returned values of less than 5 mg/L
lithium.
Our company is very pleased with the results here,
and believes that the playa at Fish Lake Valley may be conducive to the
formation of a “silver peak” style lithium brine deposit. Our company reviewed
the results in regards to the overall geological interpretation of the lithium,
boron and potassium bearing strata. The results confirm the presence of
targeted mineralization and further evaluation programs will focus on
determining the extent and depth of mineralization. Our company is currently
assessing options on how best to further explore here.
We signed an Exploration Earn-In Agreement in
February 2016 with 1032701 B.C. Ltd., a private British Columbia company with
respect to our Fish Lake Valley lithium brine property.
1032701 B.C. Ltd., had the option to acquire an
initial 80% undivided interest in the Fish Lake Valley property through the
payment of an aggregate of US$300,000 in cash, completing a Going Public
Transaction on or before May 6, 2016, and subject to the completion of the
Going Public Transaction, arranging for the issuance of a total of 400,000
common shares in the capital of the Resulting Issuer as follows: (i) within
five Business Days following the effective date,
|
· |
Pay $100,000 to our company and issue 200,000
common shares of the TSX-V listed public company. |
|
· |
On or before the first anniversary of the signing
of the Definitive Agreement pay $100,000 to our company and issue 100,000
common shares of the Optionee/TSX-V listed public company. |
|
· |
On or before the second anniversary of the
signing of the definitive agreement pay $100,000 to our company and issue
100,000 common shares of the Optionee/TSX-V listed public company. |
The Optionee had to make qualified exploration or
development expenditures on the property of $200,000 before the first
anniversary, an additional $300,000 before the second anniversary, an
additional $600,000 prior to the third anniversary, and make all payments and
perform all other acts to maintain the Property in good standing before fully
earning their 80% interest. Additionally, terms were to be negotiated for the
Optionee to purchase our 20% interest in the property for $1,000,000, at which
point our interest would revert to a 2 1/2% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR). The
Optionee may then elect at any time to purchase one half of our NSR for
$1,000,000.

On April 7, 2016, 1032701 B.C. Ltd. was acquired by
Menika Mining Ltd., which subsequently changed its name to American Lithium
Corp.(TSXV: LI) In connection with the acquisition of 1032701 and in accordance
with the Exploration Earn-In Agreement, 200,000 common shares were issued to
our company. In addition, we received payment of $130,000. In March of 2017 American
Lithium Corp. issued 100,000 common shares and paid the company $100,000 to
satisfy their option commitment. In March of 2018 issued 10,000 common shares
(as they had recently rolled their stock back on a 1 for 10 basis), and paid
the company $100,000. In addition it was agreed that Lithium Corporation would
extend the deadline for the year two exploration expenditure until September 30th 2018
for consideration of a further 80,000 shares.
American Lithium Corporation conducted confirmation
shallow brine sampling on the property, and drilled two exploratory wells off
the playa area in 2016. In Summer 2018 they reportedly completed a short
seismic survey adjacent to the Company’s claims here, and attempted to drill a
hole on the Company’s claims but were unsuccessful due to wet ground
conditions. On April 30th 2019 American Lithium issued formal
relinquishment of Purchasers right to earn the interest under the agreement.
On April 29, 2021 we signed a Letter Of Intent
(LOI) with Altura Mining Limited an Australian Lithium explorer and developer,
whereby Altura can earn a 60% interest in the Fish Lake Valley property by
paying the Company $675,000, issuing the equivalent of $500,000 worth of Altura
stock, and expending $2,000,000 of exploration work in the next four years. To
date Altura has paid the initial $50,000 due at the signing of the LOI, and the
parties have until July 31, 2021 to enter into a formal agreement, which then
starts the clock in motion. It is anticipated the Company will provide its
expertise with respect to exploration, development, and materials processing as
this option moves forward.
San Emidio Property
The San Emidio property, located in Washoe County
in northwestern Nevada, was acquired through the staking of claims in September
2011. The four, 80-acre, Association Placer claims currently held here cover an
area of approximately 320 acres (129.50 hectares). The claim block has expanded
and contracted a couple of times, in accordance with the state of the Lithium
market. The property is approximately 65 miles north-northeast of Reno, Nevada,
and has excellent infrastructure.
We developed this prospect during 2009, and 2010
through surface sampling, and the early reconnaissance sampling determined that
anomalous values for lithium occur in the playa sediments over a good portion
of the playa. This sampling appeared to indicate that the most prospective
areas on the playa may be on the newly staked block proximal to the southern
margin of the basin, where it is possible the structures that are responsible
for the geothermal system here may also have influenced lithium deposition in
sediments.
Our company conducted near-surface brine sampling
in the spring of 2011, and a high resolution gravity geophysical survey in
summer/fall 2011. Our company then permitted a 7 hole drilling program with the
Bureau of Land Management in late fall 2011, and a direct push drill program
was commenced in early February 2012. Drilling here delineated a narrow
elongated shallow brine reservoir which is greater than 2.5 miles length, and
which is adjacent to a basinal feature outlined by the earlier gravity survey.
Two values of over 20 milligrams/liter lithium were obtained from two holes
located centrally in this brine anomaly.
Most recently we drilled this prospect in late
October 2012, further testing the area of the property in the vicinity where
prior exploration by our company discovered elevated lithium levels in
subsurface brines. During the 2012 program a total of 856 feet (260.89 meters)
was drilled at 8 discrete sites. The deepest hole was 160 feet (48.76 meters),
and the shallowest hole that produced brine was 90 feet (27.43 meters). The
average depth of the seven hole program was 107 feet (32.61 meters). The
program better defined a lithium-in-brine anomaly that was discovered in early
2012. This anomaly is approximately 0.6 miles (370 meters) wide at its widest
point by more than 2 miles (3 kilometers) long. The peak value seen within the
anomaly is 23.7 mg/l lithium, which is 10 to 20 times background levels outside
the anomaly. Our company believes that, much like Fish Lake Valley, the playa
at San Emidio may be conducive to the formation of a “Silver Peak” style
lithium brine deposit, and the recent drilling indicates that the anomaly
occurs at or near the intersection of several faults that may have provided the
structural setting necessary for the formation of a lithium-in-brine deposit at
depth.

In 2016 we signed an Exploration Earn-In Agreement with 1067323 B.C.
Ltd. with respect to our San Emidio property.
1067323 B.C. Ltd., could have acquired an initial
80% undivided interest in the San Emidio property through the payment of an
aggregate of US$100,000 in cash, completing a Going Public Transaction and
subject to the completion of the Going Public Transaction, arranging for the
issuance of a total of 300,000 common shares in the capital of the Resulting
Issuer as follows:
|
· |
Within 30 days of the Effective Date pay $100,000 to our company and
issue 100,000 common shares of the TSX-V listed public company. |
|
· |
On or before the first anniversary of the signing of the Definitive
Agreement issue 100,000 common shares of the Optionee/TSX-V listed public
company. |
|
· |
On or before the second anniversary of the signing of the definitive
agreement issue 100,000 common shares of the Optionee/TSX-V listed public
company. |
The Optionee had to have made qualified exploration
or development expenditures on the property of $100,000 before the first
anniversary, an additional $200,000 before the second anniversary, an
additional $300,000 prior to the third anniversary, and make all payments and
perform all other acts to maintain the Property in good standing before fully
earning their 80% interest. Additionally, Optionee has the right to purchase
our 20% interest in the property for $1,000,000, at which point the our
interest would revert to a 2 1/2% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR). The Optionee may
then elect at any time to purchase one half of our NSR for $1,000,000.
On May 24, 2016, 1067323 B.C. Ltd. was acquired by
American Lithium Corp.(TSXV: LI) In connection with the acquisition of 1067323
and in accordance with the Exploration Earn-In Agreement, 100,000 common shares
were issued to our company. In addition, we received payment of $100,000. To
date the Company has received 200,000 shares of American Lithium as
consideration under this option agreement.
American Lithium Corp did not conduct any
appreciable exploration work on this prospect, and the Company waived the
$100,000 exploration expenditure provision for Year 1 of the option agreement.
In early June 2018 the Company was notified that American Lithium was allowing
the option earn-in to lapse. The Company received a drilling permit from the
BLM in Winnemucca, for up to 3 RC drill holes here, and the Company was intent
on drilling these in 2019, however with the downturn in the Lithium market at
that point exploration here was put on hold. Now that the price for lithium has
improved the Company is currently assessing its options for future exploration
here.
BC Sugar Flake Graphite Property
On June 6, 2013, we entered into a mining claim
sale agreement with Herb Hyder wherein Mr. Hyder agreed to sell to our company
a 50.829 acre (20.57 hectare) claim located in the Cherryville area of British
Columbia. As consideration for the purchase of the property, we issued 250,000 shares
of our company’s common stock to Mr. Hyder. In addition to the acquired claim,
our company staked or acquired another 13 claims at various times over the
subsequent months, to bring the total area held under tenure to approximately
19,816 acres (8,020 hectares). The flake graphite mineralization of interest
here is hosted predominately in graphitic quartz/biotite, and lesser graphitic
calc-silicate gneisses. The rocks in the general area of the BC Sugar prospect
are similar to the host rocks in the area of the Crystal Graphite deposit 55
miles (90 kms) to the southeast. Over the past four years the claim block here
has been strategically decreased, and the Company currently holds one tenure
encompassing 203 acres (82.23 hectares).
The BC Sugar property is within in the Shushwap
Metamorphic Complex, in a geological environment favorable for the formation of
flake graphite deposits, and is in an area of excellent logistics, with a
considerable network of logging roads within the project area. Additionally the
town of Lumby is approximately 19 miles (30 kms) to the south of the property,
while the City of Vernon is only 30 miles (50 kms) to the southwest of the
western portions of the claim block.
|
17 |
We received final assays from the October 2013
prospecting and geological program at the BC Sugar property in December of
2013. That work increased the area known to be underlain by graphitic bearing
gneisses, and further evaluations were made in the area of the Sugar Lake,
Weather Station, and Taylor Creek showings. In the general vicinity of the
Weather Station showing, a further 13 samples were taken, and hand trenching
was performed at one of several outcrops in the area. In the trench a 5.2 meter
interval returned an average of 3.14% graphitic carbon, all in an oxidized
relatively friable gneissic host rock. Additionally a hydrothermal or vein type
mineralized graphitic quartz boulder was discovered in the area which graded up
to 4.19% graphitic carbon. The source of this boulder was not discovered during
this program, but it is felt to be close to its point of origin. Samples representative
of the mineralization encountered here were taken for petrographic study, which
was received in late 2013. A brief assessment work program was performed in
September 2014 to ensure all claims in the package were in good standing prior
to the anticipated sale of this asset to Pathion. Recommendations were made by
the consulting geologist who wrote the assessment report with respect to
trenching, and eventually drilling the Weather Station showing. Our company
submitted a Notice of Work to the BC Government in early May 2015 to enable our
company to conduct a program of excavator trenching, sampling and geological
mapping on the Weather Station showing. In May of 2015 we signed an agreement
with KLM Geosciences LLC of Las Vegas to conduct a short Ground Penetrating
Radar (GPR) survey on the property in the Weather Station – Taylor Creek areas.
The GPR survey as well as a GEM-2 electromagnetic (EM) survey took place in
approximately mid-May 2015. The GPR survey did not provide useful data because
of the moisture saturation in the shallow subsurface. The EM survey
successfully generated an anomaly over known mineralization as well as extended
the anomaly to the west under an area of cover consisting of glacial/fluvial
till. Lithium Corporation is pleased with the results of the EM survey and has
modified our work plans to include additional work that builds on the results
of this survey.
In August of 2015 our Notice of Work for trenching
was approved by the BC Government and in October we commenced work. A trench of
265.76 feet (81 meters) was excavated and graphitic gneiss was mapped and
sampled. In all 23 samples were taken over the 69 meters of exposed
mineralization that could be safely sampled. Trench depths varied from 1.2
meters in areas of semi-consolidated rock to 4.8 meters in areas of mainly
decomposed material. There was an approximately 12 meter section of the trench
of sand, and fluvial till in an ancient stream bed where the excavator could
not reach the graphitic material that is inferred to exist at depths greater
than 5 meters. Also there was a 4 meter section at depths from 4.8 to 5 meters
where graphite mineralization could be seen at depth, but could not be safely
sampled.
The entire 69 meter interval that was sampled
averaged 1.997% graphitic carbon, and mineralization remains open in all
directions. Within that interval there was a 30 meter section that averaged
2.73% graphitic carbon, and within that interval there was a 12 meter section
that averaged 2.99% graphitic carbon. The best mineralization, and most friable
material is proximal to the aforementioned abandoned creek channel, and it
appears that proximity to this feature gave rise to the deep weathering profile
encountered here. Determining the tenor, and extent of the friable material
were the two major objectives of this program as this material, which is very
similar to that mined at Eagle Graphite’s operation is very easy/economical to
be mined and processed, and typically contains the highest percentages of
graphite over consistent widths.
The Company revised its trenching permit in 2017
and conducted a program of 12 mechanized test pits in May 2018. This work was
done in an area ranging from 1 to 1.5 kilometers to the east of the Weather
Station Zone in a zone of numerous discrete conductors detected during the 2015
FDEM geophysical survey. Three of these pits intercepted weathered weak to
moderately mineralized graphitic material with the best assay being 2.62%
graphitic, carbon, and six test pits bottomed in non-mineralized bedrock. The
remaining three did not reach bedrock or intercept graphitic material prior to
reaching the maximum digging capability of the excavating equipment used. The
Company has reduced its acreage holdings here to approximately 203 acres ( 82 hectares)
to facilitate applying 5 years assessment credit to the property, and is
effectively looking to place it on the “back burner” in favor of developing
other prospects that are of greater commercial interest at this point.
The Hughes Claims
Effective April 23, 2014, we entered into an
operating agreement with All American Resources, L.L.C and TY & Sons
Investments Inc. with respect to Summa, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company
incorporated on December 12, 2013, wherein we hold a 25% membership in a number
of patented mining claims that spring from the once vast holdings of Howard
Hughes. Our company’s capital contribution paid to Summa, LLC was $125,000, of
which $100,000 was in cash and the balance in services.
Our company participated in the formation of Summa,
which holds 88 fee-title patented lode claims, which cover approximately
1,191.3 acres of prospective mineral lands. Our company has recently signed a
joint operating agreement with the other participants to govern the conduct of
Summa, and the development of the lands. Our company’s president, Tom Lewis,
has been named as a managing member of Summa.
|

The Hughes lands are situated in six discrete
prospect areas in Nevada, the most notable of which being the Tonopah block in
Nye County where Summa holds 56 claims that cover approximately 770 acres in
the heart of the historic mining camp where over 1.8 million ounces of gold and
174 million ounces of silver were produced predominately in the early 1900’s.
The Hughes claims include a number of the prolific past producers in Tonopah,
such as the Belmont, the Desert Queen, and the Midway mines. In addition there
are also claims in the area of the past producing Klondyke East mining
district, which is to the south of Tonopah, and at the town of Belmont (not to
be confused with the Belmont claim in Tonopah), Nevada, another notable silver
producer from the 1800’s, which is roughly 40 miles to the northeast of
Tonopah.
Recently research has been conducted on the Hughes
properties, focusing on the Tonopah area where reporting in the 1980’s,
indicate that over 2.175 million tons of mine dumps and mill tailings exist at
surface on Summa’s properties that contain in the order of 3.453 million ounces
of silver, and 28,500 ounces of gold. In addition to this easily extractable
surficial resource, other reports indicate that 300 - 500,000 tons of
mineralized material is expected to remain at depth in old workings on Summa’s
properties, which is believed to contain an average 20 ounces silver and 0.20
ounces gold per ton. Also several partially tested exploration targets have
been identified on Summa’s Tonopah claims, where further work could potentially
lead to a marked increase in known underground resources.
West Kirkland Mining has been working on the
development of their 75% owned project in Tonopah, most recently drilling to
increase the resource at the Three Hills gold/silver deposit where they intend
to kick-off their mining efforts in the future. To that end they have bought an
additional six patented mining claims here recently, and have also negotiated
an agreement to procure rights for the water that they will need for
processing. Presently the reserve at their Hasbrouck/Three Hills/Hill of Gold
project stands at 45.3 million tons containing 762,000 ounces gold, and 10.6
million ounces Silver. Coeur Mines and partner Idaho North Resources drilled in
the Klondyke area to the south of Tonopah (the same area where Summa holds
several patented mining claims that arise from the Hughes acquisition), and
have done some drilling recently in Tonopah on a prospect they have optioned
adjacent and to the west of Summa’s holdings.
The ongoing litigation with respect to Summa’s
Tonopah holdings had precluded investing time or money into the property, however
in 2018 Summa won a “quiet title” case in the Fifth Judicial Court in Tonopah,
which determined that Summas’ title is superior to all other claimants. In 2020
Summa, LLC signed an option agreement with 1237025 Nevada Ltd., which
eventually merged with a CSE listed company that ultimately became Summa Silver
Corp. Under the terms of the agreement Summa Silver has undertaken to explore
the property, pay $400,000 in cash and $400,000 in shares and incur $1.5
million in exploration expenditures in installments over the next five years.
The first anniversary of the agreement occurred in March 2021, with Summa
Silver having drilled the property continuously from June until December, and
expending over $4,000,000 in exploration on the property during that time.
Lithium Corporation received $13,000 from Summa, LLC as disbursements relating
to the Tonopah option in Q1 2021. Should all terms of the option agreement be
met Summa, LLC will retain a 1% Net Smelter Royalty, one half of which Summa
Silver may purchase for $4,000,000. Summa Silver resumed drilling/exploration
on the property in April 2021.
We are currently pursuing other properties which
are believed to be prospective for hosting lithium, graphite, nickle - cobalt
and Rare Earth Element mineralization, as well as evaluating a wide range of
opportunities brought to our company by third parties.
Additionally our company continues its generative
program exploring for new deposits of next generation battery related
materials.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to the
Three Months Ended March 31, 2020
We had net loss of $660,935 for the three month
period ended March 31, 2021, which was $615,762 more than the net loss of
$45,173 for the three month period ended March 31, 2020. The change in our
results over the two periods is primarily the result of an increase in
consulting fees and professional fees resulting from our filing of the S1, an
increase in exploration expenditures related to our properties and transfer
agent and filing fees offset by $15,000 in other income and a decrease in
travel and office and administrative expenses.

To date we have relied on proceeds from the sale of
our shares in order to sustain our basic, minimum operating expenses; however,
we cannot guarantee that we will secure any further sales of our shares or that
our sole officer and director with provide us with any future loans. We
estimate that the cost of maintaining basic corporate operations (which
includes the cost of satisfying our public reporting obligations) will be
approximately $2,000 per month. Due to our current cash position of
approximately $254,219 as of March 31, 2021, we estimate that we do not have
sufficient cash to sustain our basic operations for the next twelve months.
We are not aware of any known trends, demands,
commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably
likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
Equity Financings
On January 25, 2021 we entered into a purchase agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement"), and a registration rights agreement, (the "Registration
Rights Agreement"), with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC ("Lincoln
Park"), pursuant to which Lincoln Park has committed to purchase up to
$10,300,000 of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the
"Common Stock"). In connection with the execution of the
Purchase Agreement, the Company sold, and Lincoln Park purchased, 380,952
shares of Common Stock for a purchase price of $160,000 (“Original Purchase”).
|
21 |
Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement,
the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Lincoln Park, and
Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $10,300,000 worth of shares of
Common Stock. Such sales of Common Stock by the Company, if any, will be
subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time to time, at the
Company's sole discretion, over the 36-month period commencing on the date that
a registration statement covering the resale of shares of Common Stock that
have been and may be issued under the Purchase Agreement, which the Company
agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC
and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed and the other
conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement are satisfied, all of which are
outside the control of Lincoln Park (such date on which all of such conditions
are satisfied, the "Commencement Date"). The Company shall
also have the right, but not the obligation to sell to Lincoln Park up to
$150,000 of shares of Common Stock on the Commencement Date at the Purchase
Price (as defined below).
Under the Purchase Agreement, on any business day over the term of the
Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to
present Lincoln Park with a purchase notice (each, a "Purchase Notice")
directing Lincoln Park to purchase up to 100,000 shares of Common Stock per
business day, which increases to up to 150,000 shares in the event the price of
the Company’s Common Stock is not below $0.25 per share; up to 200,000 shares
in the event the price of the Company’s Common Stock is not below $0.35 per
share and up to 250,000 shares in the event the price of the Company’s Common
Stock is not below $0.50 (the "Regular Purchase") (subject to
adjustment for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock
split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction as provided in the
Purchase Agreement). In each case, Lincoln Park's maximum commitment in any
single Regular Purchase may not exceed $500,000. The Purchase Agreement
provides for a purchase price per Purchase Share (the "Purchase Price")
equal to 93% of the lesser of:
● |
the lowest sale price of the Company's Common
Stock on the purchase date; and |
● |
the average of the three lowest closing sale
prices for the Company's Common Stock during the twelve consecutive business
days ending on the business day immediately preceding the purchase date of
such shares. |
In addition, on any date on which the Company submits a Purchase Notice
to Lincoln Park, the Company also has the right, in its sole discretion, to
present Lincoln Park with an accelerated purchase notice (each, an "Accelerated
Purchase Notice") directing Lincoln Park to purchase an amount of
stock (the "Accelerated Purchase") equal to up to the lesser
of (i) three times the number of shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to
such Regular Purchase; and (ii) 30% of the aggregate shares of the Company's Common
Stock traded during all or, if certain trading volume or market price
thresholds specified in the Purchase Agreement are crossed on the applicable
Accelerated Purchase Date, the portion of the normal trading hours on the
applicable Accelerated Purchase Date prior to such time that any one of such
thresholds is crossed (such period of time on the applicable Accelerated
Purchase Date, the "Accelerated Purchase Period"). The
purchase price per share of Common Stock for each such Accelerated Purchase
will be equal to 93% of the lesser of:
● |
the volume weighted average price of the
Company's Common Stock during the applicable Accelerated Purchase Period on
the applicable Accelerated Purchase Date; and |
● |
the closing sale price of the Company's Common
Stock on the applicable Accelerated Purchase Date. |
Lincoln Park has no right
to require the Company to sell any shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park, but
Lincoln Park is obligated to make purchases as the Company directs, subject to
certain conditions. There are no upper limits on the price per share
that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of Common Stock.
The Company issued to Lincoln Park 1,375,779 shares of Common Stock as
commitment shares in consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement on
the Execution Date.
Actual sales of shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the
Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the
Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the
trading price of the Common Stock and determinations by the Company as to the
appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations. Lincoln Park
has no right to require any sales by the Company but is obligated to make
purchases from the Company as it directs in accordance with the Purchase
Agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner
whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of the Company's
shares.

Future Financings
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of
our common stock in order to continue to fund our business operations.
Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing
stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales
of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our
planned business activities.
Other than the Lincoln Park agreement we currently
have no other arrangement as a source for future financings. While this
arrangement should enable us to continue with our current business plan, it is
possible that unforeseeable market fluctuations in the price of the Company’s
common stock could periodically render future sales of the Company’s stock
under the terms of the agreement undesirable, hence affecting our ability to
continue financing utilizing that instrument.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have
or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial
condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of
operations, liquidity, and capital expenditures or capital resources that are
material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Exploration Stage Company
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles related to accounting and
reporting by exploration stage companies. An exploration stage company is one
in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations
have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.
Accounting Basis
Our company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"
accounting). Our company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on account, demand deposits, and short-term
instruments with maturities of three months or less.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Our company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of
which at times may exceed federally insured limits. Our company continually
monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any
losses in such accounts. Our company believes we are not exposed to any
significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from
Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from
the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform
pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a
customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3)
determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each
performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each
performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has
not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue
Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria
are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance
of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the
amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the
collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.
There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of
adopting Topic 606 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, or the
twelve months ended December 31, 2020.
Loss per Share
Basic income per share is computed by dividing loss available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the
conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such
conversion, exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings per
share. The dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted
earnings per share by application of the "if converted" method. In
the periods in which a loss is incurred, the effect of potential issuances of
shares under options and warrants would be anti-dilutive, and therefore basic
and diluted losses per share are the same. The Company did not have any
dilutive securities for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Income Taxes
The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by
recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax
basis of assets and liabilities.
Financial Instruments
Our company's financial instruments consist of cash, deposits, prepaid
expenses, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted,
it is management's opinion that our company is not exposed to significant interest,
currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Because of
the short maturity and capacity of prompt liquidation of such assets and
liabilities, the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their
carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
Mineral Properties
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease
properties are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are
capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although our company has
taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest,
these procedures do not guarantee our company's title. Such properties may be
subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by
undetected defects. Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used
in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted
cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets'
carrying amount. Impairment of $0 and $0 was recorded during the periods ended
March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
("FASB"), issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")
2016-01, "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and
Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which amends
the guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles on the classification
and measurement of financial instruments. Changes to the current guidance
primarily affect the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities
under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements
for financial instruments. In addition, the ASU clarifies guidance related to
the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets
resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities.
Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from
Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from
the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform
pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a
customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3)
determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each
performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each
performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has
not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue
Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria
are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance
of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the
amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the
collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
