Lithium
Corporation
Notes
to the Financial Statements
March
31, 2022
(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.
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.
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.
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, 2022 and 2021.

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.
Equipment
Equipment
is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and is reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
of an asset may not be recoverable.
Depreciation
of equipment is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives, being 5 years of the respective assets. Expenditures
for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Upon
sale or retirement of equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation
are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the
statements of operations.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
From
time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other
standard setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as of the specified
effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the
effect of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a
material effect on its financial position or results of operations upon
adoption.
Note
2 – Going Concern
As
reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a working
capital of $1,652,238 as at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021: $1,057,180)
and has used $51,177 (2021: $86,906) of cash in operations for the three
months ended March 31, 2022. 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, 2022 and
December 31, 2021, respectively:

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.
|
14 |
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 the North Big Smoky block of mineral claims in
Nye County Nevada. On May 13th, 2016 Lithium Royalty Corp sold the North
Big Smoky property to 1069934 Nevada Ltd., for $10,000.00, reimbursement of
staking and filing fees, and 300,000 shares in the "Purchaser
Parent". Lithium Royalty Corp retained a 2.5% Net Smelter Royalty
("NSR") on the North Big Smoky Property and the Purchaser had the
right to purchase up to one-half (50%) of the NSR for $1,000,000 to reduce the
NSR to 1.25%. 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 effectively on April
28, 2017. By agreement dated September 13th, 2017 Lithium Corporation agreed to
sell back the shares of 1069934 Nevada Ltd. to San Antone
Minerals Corp. (successor of 1069934) for $3,000. Lithium Corporation was
compensated on November 02, 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.
In
March 2022 the Company staked claims in the North Big Smoky area once again and
have recently (May 13, 2022) entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Morella
Corporation a related company whereby Morella will earn an undivided 60%
interest in the property by paying $50,000 US to the Company on the signing of the
LOI, and issuing $100,000 worth of Morella shares at the time of signing the
formal agreement. Morella must issue $100,000 worth of shares at each
anniversary of the signing of the formal agreement over the next four years.
Additionally Morella must incur exploration expenditures of $100,000, $200,000,
$300,000 and $400,000 in years one through four of the option agreement. Should
they fulfill these obligations they will have earned an undivided 60% interest
in the property and may purchase a further 20% interest within 1 year for
$750,000, and purchase the remaining 20% interest within the following year for
$750,000. Should Morella buy Lithium Corporation’s undivided working interest
in the property, the Company will revert to a 2.5 % Net Smelter Royalty
interest, ½ of which would be purchasable by Morella for $1,000,000.
On
September 16th 2021 Lithium Corporation signed an agreement
with Surge Battery Metals whereby Surge may earn an 80% interest in the
Company’s San Emidio lithium-in-brine prospect in Washoe County Nevada, by
paying an initial $50,000 and issuing 200,000 shares of Surge (TSX-V:Nili). Surge has undertaken to incur expenditures on
the property of:
Year
1 – $100,000
Year
2 – cumulative total of, $250,000
Year
3 – cumulative total of, $400,000
Year
4 – cumulative total of, $700,000
Year
5 – cumulative total of, $1,000,000
And
make annual payments on the agreement anniversary of:
Year
1 – $70,000, and $30,000 worth of Surge common stock
Year
2 – $70,000, and $30,000 worth of Surge common stock
Year
3 – $70,000, and $50,000 worth of Surge common stock
Year
4 – $70,000, and $70,000 worth of Surge common stock
Year
5 – $70,000, and $90,000 worth of Surge common stock
|
15 |
Upon
fulfillment of the aforementioned commitments Surge will be deemed to have
earned their undivided 80% interest and will form a joint venture with the
Company. Should either company default on funding further development of the
property their interest will revert to a 2.5% Net Smelter royalty should they
be diluted below a 10% interest. Surge has recently announced that they have
completed geochemical work on the prospect block, and are contemplating
geophysics and eventually drilling for our claims here. Lithium Corporation had
staked this block of claims in 2010 and conducted geochemical, geophysical and
drilling work prior to signing an agreement effective May 3, 2016, wherein our
company entered in to an Exploration Earn-In arrangement with 1067323 B.C. Ltd.
with respect to the property. The terms of the formal agreement were; payment
of $100,000, issuance of 300,000 common shares of 1067323 B.C. Ltd., or of the
publicly traded company (American Lithium Corp) that resulted 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. American Lithium then had a subsequent 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 which point our company
would retain a 2.5% Net Smelter Royalty, half of which could have been
purchased by American Lithium. 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 wished to relinquish all interest.
On
April 29, 2021 we signed a Letter Of Intent (LOI) with Altura Mining Limited
(now Morella Corporation after a name change) an Australian Lithium explorer
and developer, and related company whereby Morella can earn a 60% interest in
the Fish Lake Valley lithium-in-brine property in Esmeralda County, Nevada by
paying the Company $675,000, issuing the equivalent of $500,000 worth of
Morella stock, and expending $2,000,000 of exploration work over the next four
years. To date Morella is current with its obligations under the formal
agreement ratified on October 12th 2021, having paid the initial $50,000 on
signing the LOI, the $100,000 due on signing the formal agreement, and has
issued 28,176,951 shares of Morella (1MC:ASX, Altaf:OTC-QB)
common stock. Recently Morella has indicated that they have completed
phase I of both passive seismic and magnetotelluric
(MT) surveys, and are looking to progress onto phase II. The Company had
originally acquired this property through a June 2009 Option Agreement, and
conducted geochemical, geological, geophysical and drilling work on it over the
next several years eventually announcing via press release on February 16,
2016, that our company has entered into a letter of intent with 1032701
B.C. Ltd. 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 allowed 1032701 to earn an 80% interest in Fish Lake Valley
for payments over three 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 had a subsequent option to purchase Lithium Corporation's
remaining 20% working interest, which would have left the Company with a 2.5%
Net Smelter Royalty, half of which could have been purchased. Menika
Mining, a publicly traded company on the TSX Venture Exchange subsequently
acquired 1032701 B.C. Ltd and changed their name to American Lithium
Corp. The Company received formal relinquishment of the Purchasers right
to earn the interest in the property on April 30th 2019.
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. Bormal
conducted a stream sediment sampling program on the Michael property 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). 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 were issued and
the Yeehaw property was 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. Field work was done on this
property in 2020 & 2021, and recently the company has increased the size of
its block here and is planning more work during the 2022 field season.

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. Summa was formed to acquire and
administer the residual lands that originated in the 60’s and 70’s through
Howard Hughes’s – Hughes Corporation, which went on a mining property buying
spree at that time. Our company's capital contribution to Summa, LLC was
$125,000, of which $100,000 was in cash and the balance in services. To date we
have contributed an additional $31,700 in cash, and also over the years an
indeterminate amount of casual geological and land expertise to Summa, LLC.
In recognition, Summa transferred five urban lots in Tonopah of indeterminate
value in 2020, and since Jan 2021 have issued checks to the company for
$150,500. The Tonopah property was optioned in early 2020, and the
Optionee has earned a 100% interest in the property. Summa still retains
a 1% (LTUM’s share 0.25%) Net Smelter Royalty on the property. Recently Summa
entered into an agreement with North American Silver Corporation (TSX-V:NSC)
whereby NSC can earn a 100% interest with respect to Summa’s Belmont Nevada
claims (not to be confused with the Belmont mine in Tonopah) by paying $200,000
in cash or at Optionor’s discretion shares over 5 years, and election must be
made by the sixth agreement anniversary to purchase the lands (69.96 acres) at
$10,000 per acre. Should NSC earn their interest Summa, LLC would retain
a 1% Net Smelter Royalty – 50% of which may be subsequently purchased by the
Optionor. Summa, LLC still retains a 100% interest (subject to a 2% NSR
in favor of Summa Corp. (the successor entity to the Hughes Corporation) in a
further five project areas in the state of Nevada, and Lithium Corporation
remains committed to casually helping them move the projects along so that they
may be optioned eventually.
Our
company intends to continue identifying additional lithium properties in Nevada
and to conduct exploration on our British Columbia properties. 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.,
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.
|
17 |
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.
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. 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 American
Lithium 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
(now Morella Corporation) an Australian Lithium explorer and developer, and
related party. Under the formal agreement which was signed in October
2021 Morella 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 Morella
stock, and expending $2,000,000 of exploration work in the next four
years. To date Morella is current with all conditions and commitments
with respect to the agreement, and has been conducting geophysical surveys on a
phased basis on the property, and has indicated it is anticipating drilling
sometime in the second half of 2022. The Company does casually provide
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 whereby they 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. 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 had the right to purchase
our 20% interest in the property for $1,000,000, at which point our interest
would have reverted 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, and we received payment of $100,000. To date the Company has
received 200,000 shares of American Lithium as consideration under this option
agreement.
|
19 |
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.
On
September 16th 2021 Lithium Corporation signed an agreement
with Surge Battery Metals whereby Surge may earn an 80% interest in the
Company’s San Emidio lithium-in-brine prospect in Washoe County Nevada, by paying
an initial $50,000 and issuing 200,000 shares of Surge (TSX-V:Nili).
Surge has undertaken to incur expenditures on the property of:
Year
1 – $100,000
Year
2 – cumulative total of, $250,000
Year
3 – cumulative total of, $400,000
Year
4 – cumulative total of, $700,000
Year
5 – cumulative total of, $1,000,000
And
make annual payments on the agreement anniversary of:
Year
1 – $70,000, and $30,000 worth of Surge common stock
Year
2 – $70,000, and $30,000 worth of Surge common stock
Year
3 – $70,000, and $50,000 worth of Surge common stock
Year
4 – $70,000, and $70,000 worth of Surge common stock
Year
5 – $70,000, and $90,000 worth of Surge common stock
Upon
fulfillment of the aforementioned commitments Surge will be deemed to have
earned their undivided 80% interest and will form a joint venture with the
Company. Should either company default on funding further development of
the property their interest will revert to a 2.5% Net Smelter royalty should
they be diluted below a 10% interest. Surge has recently announced that
they have completed geochemical work on the prospect block, and are
contemplating geophysics and eventually drilling for our claims 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.
|
20 |
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 reduced its acreage holdings here to approximately 203 acres (
82 hectares) to facilitate applying 5 years assessment credit to the
property, and placed it on the “back burner” in favor of developing other
prospects that are of greater commercial interest, but recently we have
re-acquired claims in the area covering the three most prospective areas, with
approximately 1626 acres (657.95 hectares) of claims covering the Sugarland
prospect to the east, and approximately 1321 acres (534.66 hectares) of claims
covering the Weather Station and Taylor Creek showings to the west. The
Company is currently in the planning stages with respect to the work to be done
on these prospects this summer.

the period 2011 through 2012 the Company conducted geophysical, and geochemical
work on BLM lands in North Big Smoky Valley, Nye County Nevada, in an area that
proved to be geochemically anomalous, both in sediment and brines. The
geological setting in this area is quite similar to that at our other brine
prospects, and Clayton Valley to the southwest of here, and had experienced
some geothermal and petroleum exploration in the past. In April of 2016
Lithium Royalty Corp (a wholly owned subsidiary through which we had planned to
build a portfolio of lithium mineral properties) acquired the prospect through
staking a block of placer mineral claims here. On May 13, 2016 our
wholly owned subsidiary sold 100% of the interest in
the property to 1069934 Nevada Ltd. ("Purchaser") a private
company. Consideration paid to Lithium Royalty Corp. consisted of mainly
of 300,000 shares in the "Purchaser Parent", 1069934 B.C. Ltd, and
retained a royalty on the property. No appreciable work was done
and by agreement dated September 13, 2017 Lithium Corporation agreed to sell
back the shares of 1069934 Nevada Ltd. to San Antone
Minerals Corp (successor corporation) who subsequently allowed the claims here
to lapse. We have recently signed a letter of agreement with Morella
Corporation a related company whereby Morella can earn a 60% interest in our
North Big Smoky lithium-in-brine property in Nye County Nevada by paying
$50,000 US to the Company on the signing of the LOI, and issuing $100,000 worth
of Morella shares at the time of signing the formal agreement, and issue a
similar dollar value of shares at the anniversary of the signing of the formal
agreement over the next four years. Additionally Morella must make
exploration expenditures of $100,000, $200,000, $300,000 and $400,000 in years
one through four of the option agreement. Should they fulfill these
obligations they will have earned an undivided 60% interest in the property and
may purchase a further 20% interest within 1 year for $750,000, and purchase
the remaining 20% interest within the following year for $750,000. Should
Morella buy Lithium Corporation’s undivided working interest in the property,
the Company will revert to a 2.5 % Net Smelter Royalty interest, ½ of which
would be purchasable by Morella for $1,000,000. This area was
subsequently re-staked by Lithium Corporation in early 2022. Morella
Corporation is planning geochemical and geophysical work on the property during
2022.
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. Lithium Corporation received $98,000 from Summa in 2021, and
so far has received $40,000 from Summa this year.
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 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.
The
ongoing litigation with respect to Summa’s Tonopah holdings had precluded
investing time or money into the property immediately after the court awarded
Summa ownership in 2013, 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. The subsequent appeal of this
verdict was quashed later in 2018, and there has been no further action on that
account. Summa signed a Letter of Intent on January 14, 2020 with respect
to the Tonopah property whereby 1237025 BC Ltd, could earn a 100% interest in
the property (subject to a 1.0% Net Smelter Royalty or NSR) by paying $400,000
in cash, issuing $400,000 in shares, and incurring $1.5 million in exploration
expenditures in stages over the next 5 years. The Optionee also has the
right to purchase ¼ of the NSR for $1,500,000, and the future right to purchase
a further ¼ of the NSR for $2,500,000. The definitive agreement was signed in
March of 2020, and 1237025 BC Ltd subsequently merged with Pinnacle North Gold
Corp., who then changed their name to Summa Silver Corp. Summa Silver
actively explored the property in the second half of 2020, drilling roughly
14,000 meters in 29 drill holes. Additionally more work was performed on
the Belmont tailings portion of the project aided by Lithium Corporation
personnel, who have been actively promoting and advancing this aspect of the
Tonopah holdings since acquisition. In 2021 Summa Silver accelerated the earn-in
provisions of the option agreement and was transferred a 100% interest in the
property. Summa still retains a 1% (LTUM’s undivided share 0.25%) Net
Smelter Royalty on the property. Recently Summa entered into an agreement with
North American Silver Corporation (TSX-V:NSC) with respect to Summa’s Belmont
Nevada claims whereby NSC can earn a 100% interest by paying $200,000 in cash
or at Optionor’s discretion shares over 5 years, and election must be made by
the sixth agreement anniversary to purchase the lands (69.96 acres) at $10,000
per acre. Should NSC earn their interest Summa, LLC would retain a 1% Net
Smelter Royalty – 50% of which may be subsequently purchased by the
Optionor. Summa, LLC still retains a 100% interest (subject to a 2% NSR
in favor of Summa Corp. (the successor entity to the Hughes Corporation) in a
further five project areas in the state of Nevada, and Lithium Corporation
remains committed to casually helping them move the projects along so that they
may be optioned eventually.

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, 2022 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021
We
had a net income of $294,875 for the three month period ended March 31, 2022,
which was a $955,810 increase from the net loss of $660,935 for the three month
period ended March 31, 2021. The change in our results over the two
periods is primarily the result of the change in fair value of marketable
securities, other income and the fact the Company incurred unusually high
consulting fees in the comparative period.
The
following table summarizes key items of comparison and their related increase
(decrease) for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:

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 $74,000 per
month. Due to our current cash position of approximately $2,490,294
as of March 31, 2022, we estimate that we 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 $159,999.84 (“Original
Purchase”).
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. |
|
25 |
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.
During
the quarter ended March 31, 2022 the Company did eight stock purchases with
Lincoln Park, issuing 1,600,000 shares for proceeds of $334,000. To May
16, 2022 the Company has issued 10,040,797 shares pursuant to the Lincoln Park
agreement for proceeds of $2,545,428.
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.
|
26 |
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
Our
company has yet to realize revenues from operations. Once our company has
commenced operations, we will recognize revenues when delivery of goods or
completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an
agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or
determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and
collection of any related receivable is probable.
Loss
per Share
Basic
loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. 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.
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 September 30,
2019 and 2018, 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. The new standard is
effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15,
2017, and are to be adopted by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the
balance sheet at the beginning of the first reporting period in which the
guidance is effective. Early adoption is not permitted except for the provision
to record fair value changes for financial liabilities under the fair value
option resulting from instrument-specific credit risk in other comprehensive income.
Our company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.
