Basis
of Presentation
|
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Infrastructure Materials Corp. (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information
and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results
of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP); however, such information reflects all adjustments
that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and Notes thereto together with management’s discussion and analysis
of financial condition and results of operations contained in the Company’s
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010. In the opinion of
management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly
state the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2010 and June
30, 2010, the results of its operations for the six-month periods ended
December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, and its cash flows for the six-month
periods ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. In addition, some of
the Company’s statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q may be considered
forward-looking and involve risks and uncertainties that could significantly
impact expected results. The results of operations for the six-month period
ended December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for the full year.
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
subsidiaries, Infrastructure Materials Corp US (“IMC US”), Silver Reserve Corp.
(“SRC” or “Silver Reserve”) and Canadian Infrastructure Corp. (“CIC”). All
material inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

Exploration
Stage Activities
|
The
Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business.
The
Company is in the exploration stage and has not yet realized revenues from its
planned operations. The Company has incurred a cumulative loss of
$18,648,682 from inception to December 31, 2010. The Company has
funded operations through the issuance of capital stock and convertible
debentures. In May and June of 2006, the Company closed a private
placement of its common stock for gross proceeds of $415,000. During the
year ended June 30, 2007 the Company raised $848,935 (including $300,000
received in the prior year as stock subscriptions) through private placement of
its common stock for cash. The Company also issued Convertible Debentures
in the amount of $1,020,862 during the year ended June 30, 2006 and issued
Convertible Debentures in the amount of $2,480,205 during the year ended June
30, 2007. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2008 the
Company completed private placements of common stock for proceeds of $3,373,000
net of cash expenses. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 as a
result of warrant exercises the Company issued common stock for proceeds of
$2,225,227. During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company issued common stock
as a result of warrant exercises for proceeds of $2,225,227. In June 2010
the Company closed a private placement of its common stock for gross proceeds of
$1,603,831. Management's plan is to continue raising additional funds through
future equity or debt financing until it achieves profitable operations from
production of minerals or metals on its properties, if feasible. Also see
Note 11, Subsequent Events.

Nature
of Operations
|
The
Company’s focus is on the exploration and development, if feasible, of
limestone, silver and other metals from its claims in the States of Nevada and
Arizona and the Canadian province of Manitoba.
The
Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any
revenue from its operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and
exploration of mineral properties. Mineral property acquisition costs are
initially capitalized in accordance with ASC 805-20-55-37, previously referenced
as the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue 04-2. The Company
assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 930 at each fiscal quarter
end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be
economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves,
the costs incurred to develop such property will be capitalized. The
Company has determined that, except for the amount capitalized as Mineral
Property Interests for $514,525 (See Note 5, Mineral Property Interests), all
property payments are impaired and accordingly the Company has written off the
acquisition costs to project expenses. Once capitalized, such costs will
be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the
probable reserve.
To date,
mineral property exploration costs have been expensed as incurred. To date
the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral
properties.
The
Company’s limestone subsidiary, IMC US, controls 12 limestone Projects in
Nevada, made up of 782 mineral claims covering 16,156 acres. IMC US has acquired
100% of the Mineral Rights on an additional 1,120 acres, 50% of the Mineral
Rights on 7,400 acres, and 25% of the Mineral Rights on 160 acres. IMC US also
holds 20 mineral exploration permits covering 11,419 acres at two projects in
the state of Arizona. The Company has not yet determined that any of its claims
or mineral rights can be economically developed and has expensed related costs
to project expense. The Company’s assessment of the claims, exploration
permits and mineral rights may change after exploration of the
claims.
On
December 18, 2008, the Company incorporated a second wholly owned subsidiary in
the State of Delaware under its former name, “Silver Reserve Corp.” The
Company assigned all fourteen of its silver/base metal projects in Nevada to
this subsidiary. As of June 1, 2010, Silver Reserve Corp. terminated its
interests in one of the projects. The remaining thirteen claim groups
contain 347 claims covering 7,159 acres which include 10 patented claims and 2
leased patented claims.
On
October 14, 2010, SRC signed a letter of intent with International Millennium
Mining Corp. (“IMMC”) to sell an 85% interest in SRC’s NL Extension Projects
Claim Group (the “NL Project”). The NL Project consists of 18 mineral
claims located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. Pursuant to the letter of
intent, SRC will receive $350,000 and 1,925,000 shares of IMMC for the NL
Project. SRC will retain a 15% joint venture interest in the property as
well as a 2% net smelter royalty. The terms of the sale provide for the
above payments of cash and issuances of stock to SRC and to occur over a
five-year period. If the NL Project reaches feasibility based upon
criteria described in the letter of intent, SRC will be required to fund its
portion of the operating budget in order to retain its 15% joint venture
interest. The foregoing agreement is subject to SRC and IMMC entering into
definitive agreements and, in the case of IMMC, approval by the TSX-Venture
exchange of Canada.

SRC also
has a milling facility located in Mina, Nevada on six mill site claims covering
30 acres.
In
December 2009, the Company further expanded its limestone exploration activities
by acquiring limestone quarry leases located in Manitoba, Canada. The
Company acquired CIC, its wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, pursuant to a Share
Exchange Agreement (the “CIC Agreement”) between the Company, CIC and Todd D.
Montgomery dated as of December 15, 2009. Mr. Montgomery was the sole
shareholder of CIC. Because Mr. Montgomery is also the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer and a member of its Board of Directors, the CIC Agreement was
approved by the disinterested members of the Company’s Board of Directors on
November 27, 2009, after obtaining an independent appraisal and market study for
the properties.
Under the
terms of the CIC Agreement, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding stock of CIC in exchange for 1,021,777 shares of the Company.
The CIC Agreement closed on February 9, 2010. CIC controls 95 quarry
leases issued by the Province of Manitoba, Canada, covering 6,090 hectares
(15,049 acres). The Company accounted for the acquisition of CIC as a
business combination under the acquisition method as discussed in FASB ASC Topic
805.
ASC 805
requires acquisition-date fair value measurement of identifiable assets,
liabilities assumed and non-controlling interests in the acquiree. The
only assets acquired were CIC’S quarry leases having a fair value of $514,525
(CDN $550,000) that were recorded as an asset, “Mineral Property Interests,” on
the date of acquisition. The stock of the Company traded at $0.27 per
share on February 9, 2010, and the Company recorded a $275,880 increase in
shareholders’ equity reflecting the issuance of 1,021,777 common shares of the
Company in exchange for all issued and outstanding shares of CIC. There
were no liabilities assumed by the Company and no non-controlling interests in
CIC, resulting in a bargain purchase price of $238,645 that was recorded as
Other Income in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Also
see Note 5, Mineral Property Interests.

The
Company entered into an agreement to acquire CIC as a wholly-owned subsidiary,
pursuant to a Share Exchange Agreement (the “CIC Agreement”) between the
Company, CIC and Todd D. Montgomery dated as of December 15, 2009. Also see Note
3, Nature of Operations, and Note 5, Mineral Property Interests. Under the
terms of the CIC Agreement, the Company acquired all of the issued and
outstanding stock of CIC in exchange for 1,021,777 shares of the Company’s
common stock. The CIC Agreement closed on February 9, 2010.
On June
25, 2010, the Company completed a private placement of 6,973,180 shares of its
common stock at a price of $0.23 per share for total consideration of
$1,603,831. The private placement was exempt from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to an
exemption afforded by Regulation S promulgated thereunder (“Regulation
S”). Each investor that participated in the private placement was a
non-“U.S. Person” as that term is defined under Regulation S.
Warrants
On August
22, 2008, the Company completed the private placements of 7,040,000 “Units” at
$0.50 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one share of common stock and one
half-share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each full Warrant entitled the
holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock at $0.75 on or before
September 1, 2010. In connection with the private placement, the Company
paid a commission of $147,000 and issued 294,000 “Broker Warrants,” also
expiring on September 1, 2010, to purchase Units at $0.50 per Unit. The
Units to be issued upon exercise of the broker warrants had the same terms as
those sold to investors.
On
December 11, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a one time offer to all
warrant holders to reduce the exercise price of all unexercised warrants from
$0.75 to $0.25 per share, if the warrants were exercised prior to February 28,
2009. Of the 3,520,000 Warrants issued on August 22, 2008, the Company
received elections to purchase 2,820,000 common shares under the exercise of
warrants at $0.25 per share.
The
700,000 unexercised Warrants issued on August 22, 2008 with an exercise price of
$0.75 per share, and the 294,000 Broker Warrants issued during the year ended

Stock

In April
of 2006, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan,
the purpose of which is to enhance the Company's stockholder value and financial
performance by attracting, retaining and motivating the Company's officers,
directors, key employees, consultants and its affiliates and to encourage stock
ownership by such individuals by providing them with a means to acquire a
proprietary interest in the Company's success through stock
ownership.
Under the
2006 Stock Option Plan, officers, directors, employees and consultants who
provide services to the Company may be granted options to acquire shares of the
Company’s common stock at the fair market value of the stock on the date of
grant. Options may have a term of up to 10 years. The total number
of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2006 Stock Option Plan
is 5,000,000.
Six month period ended December 31, 2010
On
September 30, 2010, 50,000 options issued in accordance with the Company’s 2006
Stock Option Plan were exercised and 200,000 options expired.
On
October 15, 2010, 300,000 options issued in accordance with the Company’s 2006
Stock Option Plan expired.
On
November 18, 2010, the Company granted options to a consultant to purchase up to
250,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.16 per share. These
options were granted in accordance with the terms of the Company’s 2006 Stock
Option Plan and vest at a rate of 1/12 each month until fully vested. The
options granted have a term of 5 years.
On
November 24, 2010, the Company granted options to a consultant to purchase
up to 150,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.16 per share. These
options were granted in accordance with the terms of the Company’s 2006 Stock
Option Plan and vest at a rate of 1/12 each month until fully vested. The
options granted have a term of 5 years.
For the
six month period ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized in the
financial statements, stock-based compensation costs as reflected in the
following table. The fair value of each option used for the purpose of
estimating the stock compensation is based on the grant date using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions.
The
expected term calculation is based upon the term the option is expected to be
held, which is the full term of the option. The risk-free interest rate is
based upon the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant for an
instrument with a maturity that is commensurate with the expected term of the
stock options. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that we
have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and we have no present
intention to pay cash dividends. The expected forfeiture rate of 0% is
based on the vesting of stock options in a short period of
time.

On August
1, 2006, the Company acquired the Pansy Lee Claims from Anglo Gold Mining Inc.
in exchange for 1,850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to an
Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 1, 2006 (the “Pansy Lee Purchase
Agreement”). Pursuant to the Pansy Lee Purchase Agreement, in the event
that any one or more claims becomes a producing claim, our revenue is subject to
a 2% net smelter return royalty where net smelter returns are based upon gross
revenue. Gross revenue would be calculated after commercial production
commences and includes the aggregate of the following amounts: revenue received
by the Company from arm’s length purchasers of all mineral products produced
from the property, the fair market value of all products sold by the Company to
persons not dealing with the Company at arms length and the Company’s share of
the proceeds of insurance on products. From such revenue, the Company
would be permitted to deduct: sales charges levied by any sales agent
on the sale of products; transportation costs for products; all costs, expenses
and charges of any nature whatsoever which are either paid or incurred by the
Company in connection with the refinement and beneficiation of products after
leaving the property and all insurance costs and taxes. The 2% net smelter
royalty pertains to 8 of the 30 claims in this group.

The
Company holds 20 mineral exploration permits covering 20 sections or
portions of sections in the State of Arizona. Mineral exploration
permits have a duration of one year from the date of issuance. The
permits can be renewed for up to four additional one-year terms for a total of
five years and provide the holder of the permit with an exclusive right to
explore for minerals within the state land covered by the permit and to apply
for mineral leases to such land. The holder of a permit may remove
from the land only the amount of material required for sampling and testing and
is responsible for any damage or destruction caused by the holder’s exploration
activities. The holder of a permit is entitled to ingress and egress
to the covered site along routes approved by the Arizona State Land
Department. IMC US has posted a bond required by the State of
Arizona to back any reclamation required as a result of work
performed. The permit is renewable if the holder has expended
not less than $10.00 per acre during each of the first two year-long periods and
$20.00 per acre during each of the next three year-long periods. Each
permit fee is $500 per year plus $2.00 per acre for the first two years and
$1.00 per acre per year for the following three years. Upon
termination of a mineral exploration permit, the State of Arizona is entitled to
information collected by the permit holder. In the event that a
permit holder discovers a valuable mineral deposit, the permit holder may apply
to the Arizona State Land Department for a mineral lease having a term of 20
years and renewable for an additional 20 years. A permit holder shall
be the preferred recipient of the mineral lease, provided that all applicable
requirements are met. A mineral lease entitles the lessee to develop
and establish a mine on the leased premises, provided that a mine plan and all
necessary approvals are obtained.

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Our name
is Infrastructure Materials Corp. and we sometimes refer to ourselves in this
report as “Infrastructure Materials” or “Infrastructure”, or “the Company” or as
“we,” “our,” or “us.”
Forward-Looking
Statements
Except
for historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, statements
regarding our business strategy, exploration strategy, future revenues and
anticipated costs and expenses. Such forward-looking statements include,
among others, those statements including the words “expects,” “anticipates,”
“intends,” “believes” and similar language. Our actual results may differ
significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but
are not limited to, those discussed herein as well as in the “RISK FACTORS”
section herein. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this
report. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions
to the forward-looking statements or reflect events or circumstances after the
date of this document.
Although
we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements
are based on reasonable assumptions, there are a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such
forward-looking statements.
FOR
THE SIX MONTH AND THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010
PLAN OF
OPERATIONS
We will
require additional capital to implement the further exploration and possible
development of our claim groups. We expect to raise this capital
through private placements of our securities or through debt financing or some
combination of the foregoing. We have limited assets and no mineral
“reserves” in accordance with the definitions adopted by the Securities and
Exchange Commission, and there is no assurance that any exploration programs
that we undertake will establish reserves.
Discussion
of Operations and Financial Condition
Six
Month and Three Month Periods ended December 31, 2010
The
Company has no source of revenue and we continue to operate at a
loss. We expect our operating losses to continue for so long as we
remain in an exploration stage and perhaps thereafter. As
of December 31, 2010, we had accumulated losses since the Company’s
inception of $18,648,682. Our ability to emerge from the exploration
stage and conduct mining operations is dependent, in large part, upon our
raising additional capital. We are continuing our efforts to raise
capital and are moving forward with exploration of our projects.

the six-month period ended December 31, 2010, the Company devoted significant
resources toward the exploration of IMC US’s Blue Nose limestone project (“Blue
Nose”). Blue Nose consists of 255 unpatented, lode mineral claims
located in Lincoln County, Nevada, and covers approximately 5,268 acres.
On July 12, 2010, the United States Bureau of Land Management (the “BLM”)
approved the Company’s Plan of Operations for Blue Nose. On July 14,
2010, the Company posted a reclamation bond in the amount of $240,805 with the
BLM in connection with Blue Nose. The reclamation bond backs the Company’s
obligations under the Plan of Operations to restore the site and correct
environmental damage (if any) caused by the Company’s activities on Blue Nose.
Under the Plan of Operations, the Company drilled 28 reverse
circulation holes to depths ranging between 150 and 900 feet for a total of
approximately 17,000 feet. When combined with three earlier drill
programs, a total of 63 reverse circulation holes approximately 30,000 feet have
been completed at Blue Nose. The Company engaged Mine Development
Associates of Reno, Nevada (“MDA”) to assess the data from these drill
programs. In a report dated January 5, 2011, MDA stated that two
basic limestone units were defined by the drilling. The Lower White
limestone unit appeared to contain few impurities and contains relatively
high-grade calcium oxide (CaO). The Lower White unit is overlain by
another limestone unit that is generally lower grade and contains more
impurities. MDA’s report concluded that while further study is
required to better define the extent and quality of the units, Blue Nose is
estimated to contain significant levels of fairly high-grade
limestone.
Our
efforts going forward through our current fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, will
be concentrated on further development of Blue Nose and exploratory drilling at
IMC US’s two limestone projects in Arizona.
On
October 14, 2010, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Silver Reserve
Corp (“SRC”) signed a letter of intent with International Millennium Mining
Corp. (“IMMC”) to sell an 85% interest in SRC’s NL Extension Projects Claim
Group (the “NL Project”). The NL Project consists of 18 mineral
claims located in Esmeralda County, Nevada. Pursuant to the letter of
intent, SRC will receive $350,000 and 1,925,000 shares of IMMC for the NL
Project. SRC will retain a 15% joint venture interest in the property
as well as a 2% net smelter royalty. The terms of the sale provide
for the above payments of cash and issuances of stock to SRC to occur over a
five-year period. If the NL Project reaches feasibility based upon
criteria described in the letter of intent, SRC will be required to fund its
portion of the operating budget in order to retain its 15% joint venture
interest. The foregoing agreement is subject to SRC and IMMC entering
into definitive agreements and, in the case of IMMC, approval by the TSX-Venture
exchange of Canada.

The
Company is also continuing its evaluation of the silver/base metal projects held
by SRC. The Company has determined that the Silver Queen/Mohawk,
Pansy Lee, Klondyke and Kope Scheelite Projects currently provide the best
opportunity for development of resources that could go to production and plans
exploratory drilling during 2010 at Silver Queen/Mohawk, Klondyke and Kope
Scheelite. Permitting of the Red Rock mill site at Mina, Nevada is
close to completion. The Company continues to evaluate its options with
respect to the silver properties and milling facility held by Silver
Reserve. While exploratory drilling programs are being developed, the
Company is also considering offers to purchase the precious metals properties
and/or joint ventures with third parties to further explore and develop, if
warranted, those properties.
Stock Based
Compensation
On April
20, 2006, we adopted the 2006 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") under which our

the benefit of all shareholders through the additional incentive inherent in the
ownership of our common stock. Options granted under the plan will be
either "incentive stock options," intended to qualify as such under the
provisions of section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended from
time to time, or "unqualified stock options."
On
September 30, 2010, 50,000 options issued in accordance with the Company’s 2006
Stock Option Plan were exercised and 200,000 options expired.

Total
assets as of December 31, 2010 include cash and cash equivalents of $99,964,
short term investments of $388,092, prepaid expenses and other receivables of
$174,437, capital assets of $897,706 net of depreciation, and mineral property
interests of $514,525. As of June 30, 2010 total assets includes cash
and cash equivalents of $1,598,248, short-term investments of $586,745, prepaid
expenses of $122,343, capital assets of $971,280, net of depreciation and

Revenues
No
revenue was generated by the Company’s operations during the three-month and
six-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. The
Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any
revenue from its operations.
- 27
-
Net
Loss
The
Company’s expenses are reflected in the Statements of Operation under the
category of Operating Expenses. To meet the criteria of United States
generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), all mineral property
acquisition and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral
property acquisition costs are initially capitalized in accordance with ASC
805-20-55-37, previously referenced as FASB Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
Issue 04-2. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment
under ASC 930 at each fiscal quarter end. The Company has
determined that, except for the amount capitalized as Mineral Property Interests
for $514,525 pursuant to the acquisition of CIC, all property payments are
impaired and accordingly the Company has written off the acquisition costs to
project expenses. When it has been determined that a mineral property
can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable
reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are
capitalized. For the purpose of preparing financial information, all
costs associated with a property that has the potential to add to the Company's
proven and probable reserves are expensed until a final feasibility study
demonstrating the existence of proven and probable reserve is
completed. Except for the Mineral Property Interests discussed above,
no costs have been capitalized in the periods covered by these financial
statements. Once capitalized, such costs will be amortized using the
units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable
reserve.
The
significant components of expense that have contributed to the total operating
expense are discussed as follows:
(a)
General and Administration Expense
Included
in operating expenses for the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 is
general and administration expense of $202,514 as compared with $429,114 for the
three-month period ended December 31, 2009. During the six-month
period ended December 31, 2010, general and administration expense was $401,272
as compared to $878,310 for the six-month period ended December 31,
2009. General and administration expense consists of professional,
consulting, office and general and other miscellaneous costs. General
and administration expense represents approximately 23% of the total operating
expense for the six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and approximately 38%
of the total operating expense for the six-month period ended December 31,
2009. General and administration expense decreased by $477,038 in the
current six month period, as compared to the similar six month period for the
prior year. The decrease in this expense is mainly due to a decrease in
consulting fees and other compensation expenses of approximately $235,000, and a
decrease in stock based compensation costs of approximately
$106,000.
(b)
Project Expense
Included
in operating expenses for the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 is
project expense of $146,355 as compared with $561,082 for the three-month period
ended December 31, 2009. During the six-month period ended December 31, 2010,
project expense was $1,239,746 as compared to $1,346,853 for the six-month
period ended December 31, 2009. Project expense is a significant expense
and it represents approximately 72% of the total operating expenses for the
six-month period ended December 31, 2010 and approximately 58% of the total
operating expenses for the six-month period ended December 31,
2009.

in exchange for 1,850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to an
Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 1, 2006 (the “Pansy Lee Purchase
Agreement”). Pursuant to the Pansy Lee Purchase Agreement, in the
event that any one or more claims becomes a producing claim, our revenue is
subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty where net smelter returns are based
upon gross revenue. Gross revenue would be calculated after
commercial production commences and includes the aggregate of the following
amounts: revenue received by the Company from arm’s length purchasers of all
mineral products produced from the property, the fair market value of all
products sold by the Company to persons not dealing with the Company at arms
length and the Company’s share of the proceeds of insurance on
products. From such revenue, the Company would be permitted to
deduct: sales charges levied by any sales agent on the sale of
products; transportation costs for products; all costs, expenses and charges of
any nature whatsoever which are either paid or incurred by the Company in
connection with the refinement and beneficiation of products after leaving the
property and all insurance costs and taxes. The 2% net smelter
royalty pertains to 8 of the 30 claims in this group.

Company. The total amount paid on August 31, 2010, was $159,740 for
1,141 claims held by the Company at that date.
Under
legislation enacted in Nevada in March 2010, claims owners are required to pay
the State of Nevada an annual fee based upon a tiered system that requires fees
ranging from $70 to $189 per claim, depending upon the total number of claims in
Nevada that an owner holds. The Company estimates, based upon the
1,123 claims held in Nevada as of December 31, 2010, that its annual fee will be
$85 per claim, for a total of $95,455, with the first such annual fee payable no
later than June 1, 2011.
The
Company is also required to pay annual fees to counties in which the claims are
held. In October 2010, the Company paid $12,188 to nine counties in
Nevada for annual claims-related fees.
The
Company also holds 9 patented claims and 2 leased patented claims in
Nevada. A patented claim is fee simple title to the
property. Patented claims are subject to taxes assessed by the local
community based on assessment rates set annually.
The
Company holds 20 mineral exploration permits covering 20 sections or
portions of sections in the State of Arizona. Mineral exploration
permits have a duration of one year from the date of issuance. The
permits can be renewed for up to four additional one-year terms for a total of
five years and provide the holder of the permit with an exclusive right to
explore for minerals within the state land covered by the permit and to apply
for mineral leases to such land. The holder of a permit may remove
from the land only the amount of material required for sampling and testing and
is responsible for any damage or destruction caused by the holder’s exploration
activities. The holder of a permit is entitled to ingress and egress
to the covered site along routes approved by the Arizona State Land
Department. IMC US has posted a bond required by the State of
Arizona to back any reclamation required as a result of work
performed. The permit is renewable if the holder has expended
not less than $10.00 per acre during each of the first two year-long periods and
$20.00 per acre during each of the next three year-long periods. Each
permit fee is $500 per year plus $2.00 per acre for the first two years and
$1.00 per acre per year for the following three years. Upon
termination of a mineral exploration permit, the State of Arizona is entitled to
information collected by the permit holder. In the event that a
permit holder discovers a valuable mineral deposit, the permit holder may apply
to the Arizona State Land Department for a mineral lease having a term of 20
years and renewable for an additional 20 years. A permit holder shall
be the preferred recipient of the mineral lease, provided that all applicable
requirements are met. A mineral lease entitles the lessee to develop
and establish a mine on the leased premises, provided that a mine plan and all
necessary approvals are obtained.

Each of
the Company’s quarry leases located in Manitoba, Canada is renewable annually
upon payment of rent to the province of Manitoba in the amount of CDN$24 per
hectare or fraction thereof. During the fiscal year ended June 30,
2010, the Company paid CDN$147,144 in rent for these leases.
Cash
Requirements
At
December 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $99,964,
short-term investments of $388,092 and prepaid expenses of $174,437 for total current assets
of $662,493.
Our
ability to incur planned Project expenses is subject to permitting programs with
the BLM and results of the drilling as it progresses. As of the date
of this report, the Company has no firm commitment for additional financing and
may not be able to incur planned Project expenses unless further capital is
raised. Also see “Subsequent Events” below.
While
exploratory drilling programs are being developed for the Company’s precious
metal properties, the Company is also considering offers to purchase the
precious metals properties and/or joint ventures with third parties to further
explore and develop, if warranted, those properties. The proceeds
from any such purchases or joint ventures would be used for exploration and
drilling on the Company’s limestone projects and remaining silver/base metal
projects.
Subsequent
Events
The
following events occurred subsequent to December 31, 2010:
On
January 31, 2011, the Company paid CDN$17,712 (US$17,685) in annual rent to the
province of Manitoba for 11 quarry leases that renew in February. The
Company has decided to forfeit 18 quarry leases covering approximately 1,089
hectares (2,691 acres) at its Spence property, 7 quarry leases covering
approximately 484 hectares (1,196 acres) at its Dauphin property, and 3 quarry
leases covering approximately 200 hectares (493 acres) at its Winnipegosis
property.
On
February 8, 2011, the Company completed a private placement (the “Private
Placement”) of 2,083,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of
$0.24 per share for total consideration of $500,000. The Private Placement was
exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to an exemption
afforded by Regulation S. The sole investor (the “Investor”)
participating in the private placement was a non-U.S. corporation that is owned
and controlled by Todd D. Montgomery, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and
a member of its Board of Directors. The Investor and Mr. Montgomery
are not “U.S. Person(s)” as that term is defined in Regulation S.

4. Controls and Procedures
CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Based on
an evaluation, conducted by our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), they
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
December 31, 2010, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are:
|
1.
|
recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by
the SEC's rules and forms, and
|
|
2.
|
accumulated
and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
|
Management
believes that potential weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls may arise
as a result of a lack of segregation of duties and the existence of related
party transactions. Management has added compensating controls
to address the lack of segregation of duties and plans to add further controls
in the future. In connection with related party transactions,
management and the Board have required independent valuations prior to engaging
in related party transactions that are not in the ordinary course of
business. Management has no evidence of any breakdown in its internal
controls and continues to explore methods of reducing and minimizing the risk of
a material misstatement in the Company’s financial statements.
Changes in Internal
Controls
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2010, there have been no changes to the Company’s
internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting.

The
Company is not a party to any pending legal proceeding or litigation and none of
the Company’s property is the subject of a pending legal
proceeding.

|
RISK
FACTORS:
|
The
following are certain risk factors that could affect our business, financial
condition, operating results and cash flows. These risk factors
should be considered in connection with evaluating the forward-looking
statements because they could cause actual results to differ materially from
those expressed in any forward-looking statement. The risk factors
highlighted below are not the only ones we face. If any of these events actually
occur, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could
be negatively affected.
1.
|
THE
COMPANY HAS NO SOURCE OF OPERATING REVENUE AND EXPECTS TO INCUR
SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES BEFORE ESTABLISHING AN OPERATING COMPANY, IF IT IS
ABLE TO ESTABLISH AN OPERATING COMPANY AT
ALL.
|
Currently,
the Company has no source of revenue, limited working capital and no commitments
to obtain additional financing. The Company will require additional
working capital to carry out its exploration programs. The Company
has no operating history upon which an evaluation of its future success or
failure can be made. The ability to achieve and maintain
profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
|
-
|
further
exploration of our properties and the results of that
exploration.
|
|
-
|
raising
the capital necessary to conduct this exploration and preserve the
Company’s Properties.
|
|
-
|
raising
capital to develop our properties, establish a mining operation, and
operate this mine in a profitable manner if any of these activities are
warranted by the results of our exploration programs and a feasibility
study.
|
Because
the Company has no operating revenue, it expects to incur operating losses in
future periods as it continues to spend funds to explore its
properties. Failure to raise the necessary capital to continue
exploration could cause the Company to go out of business.
- 36
-
2.
|
WE
WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO COMPLETE FURTHER
EXPLORATION
|
We will
require significant additional financing in order to continue our exploration
activities and our assessment of the commercial viability of our
properties. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in
our efforts to raise these require funds, or on terms satisfactory to
us. The continued exploration of current and future mineral
properties and the development of our business will depend upon our ability to
establish the commercial viability of our properties and to ultimately develop
cash flow from operations and reach profitable operations. We currently are in
an exploration stage and we have no revenue from operations and we are
experiencing significant cash outflow from operating activities. If
we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will not be able to continue
our exploration activities and our assessment of the commercial viability of our
precious metal and mineral properties.
3.
|
WE
HAVE NO RESERVES AND WE MAY FIND THAT OUR PROPERTIES ARE NOT COMMERCIALLY
VIABLE
|
Our
properties do not contain reserves in accordance with the definitions adopted by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, and there is no assurance that any
exploration programs that we undertake will establish reserves. All of our
mineral properties are in the exploration stage as opposed to the development
stage and have no known body of economic mineralization. The known
mineralization at these projects has not yet been determined, and may never be
determined to be economic. We plan to conduct further exploration activities on
our properties, which future exploration may include the completion of
feasibility studies necessary to evaluate whether a commercial mineable mineral
exists on any of our properties. There is a substantial risk that these
exploration activities will not result in discoveries of commercially
recoverable quantities of minerals. Any determination that our properties
contain commercially recoverable quantities of minerals may not be reached until
such time that final comprehensive feasibility studies have been concluded that
establish that a potential mine is likely to be economic. There is a substantial
risk that any preliminary or final feasibility studies carried out by us will
not result in a positive determination that our mineral properties can be
commercially developed.
4.
|
WE
HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCES WE WILL
BE PROFITABLE IN THE FUTURE.
|
We have a
history of operating losses, expect to continue to incur losses, and may never
be profitable. Further, we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities
and debt financing to meet our cash requirements. We have incurred
losses totaling $18,648,682 from inception to December 31, 2010, and incurred
losses of $1,712,984 during the six-month period ended December 31, 2010.
Further, we do not expect positive cash flow from operations in the near
term. There is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not
exceed our estimates. In particular, additional capital may be
required in the event that: (i) the costs to acquire additional mineral
exploration claims are more than we currently anticipate; or (ii) exploration
and or future potential mining costs for additional claims increase beyond our
expectations.

5.
|
THE
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EXPLORATION COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH,
ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE AND POSSIBLE LEGAL
LIABILITY.
|
We are
not currently engaged in mining operations because we are in the exploration
phase. However, our exploration operations could expose the Company
to liability for personal injury or death, property damage or environmental
damage. Although we carry property and liability insurance, cost effective
insurance contains exclusions and limitations on coverage and may be unavailable
in some circumstances.
6.
|
BECAUSE
OF THE UNIQUE DIFFICULTIES AND UNCERTAINTIES INHERENT IN MINERAL
EXPLORATION VENTURES AND CURRENT DETERIORATION IN EQUITY MARKETS, WE FACE
A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.
|
Investors
should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral
exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such
enterprises. Our prospects are further complicated by a pronounced
deterioration in equity markets and constriction in equity capital available to
finance and maintain our exploration activities. Our likelihood of
success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties,
complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the
mineral properties that we plan to undertake and the difficult economy and
market volatility that we are experiencing. Moreover, most
exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercial mineable
deposits.
7.
|
OUR
BUSINESS IS AFFECTED BY CHANGES IN COMMODITY
PRICES.
|
Our
ability to raise capital and explore our properties and the future profitability
of those operations is directly related to the market price of certain minerals
such as silver and limestone as well as the price and availability of
cement. The Company is negatively affected by the current decline in
commodity prices
8.
|
THE
COMPANY COULD ENCOUNTER REGULATORY AND PERMITTING
DELAYS.
|
The
Company could face delays in obtaining permits to operate on the property
covered by the claims. Such delays could jeopardize financing, if any
is available, which could result in having to delay or abandon work on some or
all of the properties.
9.
|
THERE
ARE PENNY STOCK SECURITIES LAW CONSIDERATIONS THAT COULD LIMIT YOUR
ABILITY TO SELL YOUR SHARES.
|
Our
common stock is considered a "penny stock" and the sale of our stock by you will
be subject to the "penny stock rules" of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to take
steps before making any penny stock trades in customer accounts. As a
result, the market for our shares could be illiquid and there could be delays in
the trading of our stock which would negatively affect your ability to sell your
shares and could negatively affect the trading price of your
shares.
- 38
-
10.
|
CURRENT
LEVELS OF MARKET VOLATILITY COULD HAVE ADVERSE
IMPACTS
|
The
capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption. If
the current levels of market disruption and volatility continue or worsen, there
can be no assurance that the Company will not experience adverse effects, which
may be material. These effects may include, but are not limited to, difficulties
in raising additional capital or debt and a smaller pool of investors and
funding sources. There is thus no assurance the Company will have access to the
equity capital markets to obtain financing when necessary or
desirable.
11.
|
WE
DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE
FUTURE.
|
We have
never declared or paid a dividend on our common stock. We intend to retain
earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business and,
therefore, do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable
future.
