CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document contains “forward-looking statements” which reflect management’s expectations regarding the Company’s future growth, results of operations, performance and business prospects and opportunities. Such forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the future financial or operating performance of the Company and its projects, the future price of graphite or other metal prices, the estimation of Mineral Resources, the timing and amount of estimated future production, costs of production, capital, operating and exploration expenditures, costs and timing of the development of new deposits, costs and timing of future exploration, requirements for additional capital, government regulation of mining operations, environmental risks, reclamation expenses, title disputes or claims, limitations of insurance coverage and the timing and possible outcome of regulatory matters. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “anticipates”, or “believes” or variations (including negative variations) of such words and phrases, or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others: general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; the actual results of current exploration activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; fluctuations in currency exchange rates; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; changes in labor costs or other costs of production; future prices of graphite or other industrial mineral prices; possible variations of mineral grade or recovery rates; failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labor disputes and other risks of the mining industry, including but not limited to environmental hazards, cave-ins, pit-wall failures, flooding, rock bursts and other acts of God or unfavorable operating conditions and losses; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities; actual results of reclamation activities, and other unspecified factors. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended. Forward-looking statements contained herein are made as of the date hereof and the Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING MINERAL RESOURCES

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other information released by the Company uses the terms “resources”, “measured resources”, “indicated resources” and “inferred resources”. United States investors are advised that, while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian securities laws, the SEC does not recognize them. Under United States standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless the determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into reserves. Inferred resources are in addition to measured and indicated resources. Further, inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, United States investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically. National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators, which established standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Unless otherwise indicated, all resource estimates contained in this Form 10-Q and in press releases by the Company in the past and in the future, have been or will be prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Classification System. The requirements of NI 43-101 are not the same as those of the SEC.

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The unaudited interim condensed financial statements of Mindesta Inc. (the “Company” and formerly “Industrial Minerals, Inc.”), for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and the notes thereto (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The Company is an Exploration Stage Company that incurred a net loss of $130,371 for the nine months ended September 30, and has an accumulated deficit of $13,166,635 since the inception of the Company. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital to pay expenses and fund further exploration activities.

There is continued uncertainty over the Company’s ability to generate sufficient funds from public or private debt or equity financing for the Company to continue to operate. The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result from negative outcomes with respect to these uncertainties

For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The Company's fiscal year-end is December 31.

NOTE 2 – ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Organization

Mindesta, Inc. was incorporated on November 6, 1996, as Winchester Mining Corporation in the State of Delaware. On May 13, 2000, in connection with its merger with Hi-Plains Energy Corp., the Company changed its name from Winchester Mining Corporation to PNW Capital, Inc. On January 31, 2002, the Company acquired 91% of the outstanding shares of Industrial Minerals, Inc. On May 2, 2002, the Company merged the remaining 9% of Industrial Minerals, Inc. into PNW Capital, Inc. and changed its name to Industrial Minerals, Inc. Operations have been historically carried out through the Company’s former subsidiary, Northern Graphite Corporation (“Northern”), formerly Industrial Minerals Canada Inc. Northern owns a 100% interest in the Bissett Creek graphite property located in Renfrew County in the Province of Ontario, Canada (the “Bissett Creek Property”). As a result of a number of financings and other transactions, including an initial public offering by Northern, the Company’s interest in Northern was reduced from 100% to 26.1% as at December 31, 2011. On December 12, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a pro rata dividend-in-kind, payable January 25, 2012 to shareholders whereby most of the shares of Northern owned by the Company would be distributed to Mindesta shareholders. At the close of trading on January 25, 2012, Mindesta completed the distribution to Company shareholders of 9,413,581 shares of Northern owned by the Company on the basis of one share of Northern for each share of Company common stock held. As at September 30, 2013, the Company no longer held any shares in Northern. Effective July 26, 2011, the Company changed its name to “Mindesta Inc.” and consolidated its stock on a 20:1 basis. The Company trades on the OTCBB under the symbol MDST.

This update amends ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment and permits an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance.

NOTE 6 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

a)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company did not grant any options to officers and directors. During the nine months ending September 30, 2012, the Company granted 500,000 options to directors and officers of the Company. Each option entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.10 until March 15, 2017. Stock-compensation expense of $32,514 was recognized during the period ending September 30, 2012 in connection with this option grant.

  
b)

On October 6, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a revolving loan agreement between Mindesta Inc., as the lender, and Nubian Gold Corporation (“Nubian”), as the borrower, to fund the ongoing exploration activities of Nubian in anticipation of the companies negotiating and entering into a property option agreement with respect to Nubian’s two initial exploration licenses, Arapsyo and Qabri Bahar, located in the Republic of Somaliland. Nubian is a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ontario, Canada and Gregory Bowes, CEO, is its major shareholder. Mr. Bowes is also an officer and director of Mindesta. Mr. Bowes declared his conflict of interest to the Board of Directors and abstained from voting on the consent resolution approving the revolving loan agreement. On December 2, 2011, this facility was amended to increase the maximum of the revolving loan agreement credit facility. Under the revolving loan agreement, all amounts due from Nubian to the Company were provided under a $150,000 credit facility which was repayable upon the earlier of one year from the date of the agreement or the signing of a property option agreement. The terms stated that the revolving loan agreement becomes repayable upon the signing of a property option agreement and that all obligations of Nubian would be applied against the expenditure requirements of the Company under the property option agreement. Upon the inception of property option agreement, the obligations were considered paid in full, and the revolving loan agreement was terminated and had no further force or effect. Advances under the facility bore interest from October 6, 2011 at an annual rate of 7.5 per cent, payable annually, or earlier at anytime that the advances are repaid in full.

  

Mindesta entered into the option agreement with Nubian, effective January 2, 2012. As at January 2, 2012, Nubian had received advances of $127,994 under the revolving loan agreement and the Company had accrued $1,025 of interest receivable. As per the terms of the revolving loan agreement, Nubian applied these advances as expenditures under the option agreement and Mindesta recorded $127,944 of exploration expenses related to these expenses during 2012. In addition, Mindesta incurred $630,750 of exploration expenses during 2012 and accrued a payable of $100,000 for mineral properties under the option agreement, to Nubian. Mindesta can earn a 50% interest in the initial two permits and any other permits obtained in Somaliland during the option agreement by incurring total exploration expenditures of $2 million within two years and can increase its interest to 80 percent by completing a bankable feasibility study. The mineral property was written off during the year ended December 31, 2012 (Note 8).

  
c)

On February 10, 2012, Mindesta approved the reimbursement of $47,686 in exploration expenses incurred by Nubian but paid by Bowes & Company, Management Ltd. (“Bowes & Company”) to keep exploration activities advancing in the Republic of Somaliland during the period that the revolving loan agreement was being finalized. Bowes & Company is a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ontario, Canada and Gregory Bowes, CEO, is its major shareholder. Mr. Bowes declared his conflict of interest with respect to authorizing these expenses and they were approved by the Audit Committee chairman.

  
d)

In 2012 Mindesta was no longer able to meet its obligations under the option agreement to continue funding exploration in Somaliland. Effective August 1, 2012, the Board of Directors approved a loan agreement between Nubian and Bowes & Company, as the lenders, and Mindesta Inc., as the borrower, to fund the ongoing exploration activities of Mindesta Inc. Nubian and Bowes & Company are corporations incorporated under the laws of Ontario, Canada and Gregory Bowes is the CEO and major shareholder of both companies. Mr. Bowes is also an officer and director of Mindesta. Mr. Bowes declared his conflict of interest to the Board of Directors and abstained from voting on the consent resolution approving the revolving loan agreement. Under this loan agreement, all amounts due from Mindesta to Nubian and Bowes & Company are provided under a $250,000 credit facility which is repayable upon the termination date of December 31, 2012. Any obligation outstanding after the Termination Date shall accrue interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum. Under the terms of the loan agreement, Mindesta is required to sell its remaining shares of Northern as they are released from escrow and remit all proceeds to Bowes & Company, until all obligations to Bowes & Company are satisfied, and then shall remit any further proceeds to Nubian until all obligations to Nubian are satisfied. All advances under this facility bear interest from August 1, 2012 at an annual rate of 7.5 percent, payable annually, or earlier at anytime that the advances are repaid in full. At any time, before or after the termination date, Bowes & Company and Nubian shall have the right to convert any part of, or all of, the obligations into common shares of Mindesta Inc. at a price of $0.075 per share. During the nine month period ending September 30, 2013, payments of $106,694 (September 30, 2012 - $nil) were made on amounts owing under this credit facility. As at September 30, 2013, $210,470 (December 31, 2012 - $272,879) of principal and accrued interest was outstanding related to this credit facility, and is included in the amount listed as due to related parties in the table below. At September 30, 2013, $17,781 (December 31, 2012 - $7,428) of interest was accrued in respect of this obligation. Additional interest of $19,057 (December 31, 2012 - $13,020) was imputed on this loan to approximate a market interest rate. This interest has been recognized in general and administration expense and additional paid-in capital, as the imputed interest is not payable.

On December 12, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a pro rata dividend-in-kind, payable January 25, 2012 to shareholders of record as at January 5, 2012, whereby most of the shares of Northern owned by the Company would be distributed to Mindesta shareholders. At the close of trading on January 25, 2012, Mindesta completed the distribution to Company shareholders of 9,413,581 shares of Northern owned by the Company (approximately 25% of the Northern common shares outstanding) on the basis of one share of Northern for each share of the Company held and the dividend payable of $3,313,675 was paid in full. The dividend payable had increased by $39,603 from $3,274,072 as at December 31, 2011 as a result of options exercised as at January 4, 2012. As at the close of trading January 25, 2012, the Company’s interest in Northern Graphite decreased to 0.8% . The Company no longer holds any shares of Northern Graphite.

NOTE 8 – MINERAL PROPERTIES

Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest in accordance with industry standards for the current stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the title of the mineral properties in which it has an interest. Property title may be subject to unregistered prior agreements and non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

Mining Option Agreement – Nubian

Effective January 2, 2012, Mindesta entered into an option agreement with Nubian, a privately owned Ontario company, which initially held title to two mineral exploration permits, in the Republic of Somaliland (note 6). During 2012, Nubian obtained a third exploration permit in Somaliland. Under the option agreement, Mindesta can earn a 50% interest in the permits by incurring total exploration expenditures of $2 million within two years and can increase its interest to 80 percent by completing a bankable feasibility study. Mindesta has incurred the first $750,000 of exploration expenditures on this project which represented a firm commitment. Mindesta also has the option to acquire all of Nubian’s remaining interest in the permits at fair market value as determined by an independent valuator at any time after incurring the first $750,000 of exploration expenditures.

The Company recorded acquisition costs of $100,000 related to the option agreement with Nubian. During the year ended December 31, 2012 the Company recorded an impairment of acquisition costs of $100,000 due to uncertainty with respect to the Company’s ability to expend the required $2 million within two years to earn its interest. During the first nine months of 2013, the Company incurred an additional $14,954 of exploration expenses related to the option agreement (September 30, 2012 - $706,304).

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has been named in a lawsuit filed by Windale Properties in the amount of CDN$19,781. The claim is the result of termination of leased premises in Oakville, Ontario prior to expiry of the lease. No amount related to this contingency has been accrued as the outcome at this time is indeterminable.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

Unaudited

Overview
Mindesta Inc. (“Mindesta” or "the Company"), a Delaware Corporation, was incorporated on November 6, 1996 under the name Winchester Mining Corp. The name of the Company was changed to PNW Capital, Inc. on May 16, 2000. In 2002, PNW Capital, Inc. acquired Industrial Minerals Incorporated, a private Nevada Corporation, and changed its name to Industrial Minerals, Inc. Effective July 26, 2011, the Company adopted the new name of “Mindesta Inc.”. In conjunction with this action, the Company consolidated its stock on a 20:1 basis.

The Company is an exploration stage company. Prior to 2012, the Company’s sole asset and primary focus was its investment in Northern Graphite Corporation (“Northern”). Northern holds a 100% interest in a number of mineral claims and a mining lease covering a deposit of natural graphite located in Maria Township, approximately 180 miles northeast of Toronto, Ontario (the “Bissett Creek Property”). The Bissett Creek Property was on care and maintenance from 2005 to 2010. In the latter part of 2009 and in the first quarter of 2010 Northern raised its own financing which had the effect of reducing the Company’s interest in Northern from 100% to approximately 51%. The Company’s interest was subsequently reduced to 26.2% as the result of it selling 2,000,000 Northern shares and of Northern completing an initial public offering of shares, becoming listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, and subsequent warrant exercises. As at December, 31, 2012, the Company owned less than 0.5% of Northern due to the distribution of its Northern shares to Mindesta shareholders. The Company no longer holds any shares of Northern.

From 2004 until late 2009 the Company experienced serious financial difficulties and went through many changes to the Board and management. Chris Crupi, CA and Gregory Bowes were appointed directors of the Company and Mr. Robert Dinning, CA was appointed President and CEO on June 23, 2008. In May 2009, Gregory Bowes was appointed CEO of Northern. Robert Dinning resigned as a director and CFO of Northern effective April 1, 2010 and resigned as a director, CEO and CFO of the Company effective May 10, 2010. Miles Nagamatsu CA was appointed CFO of Northern on April 1, 2010 and Gregory Bowes was appointed CEO and CFO of the Company effective May 10, 2010. Cam Birge was appointed a director to replace Mr. Dinning, on June 3, 2010. Chris Crupi resigned as a director effective August 18, 2010. On April 19, 2011, Douglas Perkins joined the Board of Directors and was appointed Chairman of the Audit Committee. On December 15, 2011, Albert Zapanta joined the Board of Directors and was appointed to the Audit Committee, the Nominating Committee, and Compensation Committee.

On December 12, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a pro rata dividend-in-kind, payable January 25, 2012 to shareholders of record as at January 5, 2012, whereby most of the shares of Northern owned by the Company would be distributed to Mindesta shareholders. At the close of trading on January 25, 2012, Mindesta completed this distribution to Company shareholders of a majority of the shares of Northern common stock owned by the Company. The distribution of 9,413,581 shares of Northern owned by the Company (approximately 25% of the Northern common shares outstanding) was made to Company shareholders on the basis of one share of Northern for each share of the Company. The U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) established January 26, 2012 as the ex-dividend date (the “Ex-Dividend Date”) for this distribution. The Company’s interest in Northern has decreased to 0.5% primarily as a result of the distribution of Northern shares.

Effective January 2, 2012, Mindesta entered into an option agreement with Nubian Gold Corporation (“Nubian”), a privately owned Ontario company, which holds title to two 2,000 km2 mineral exploration permits, Arapsyo and Qabri Bahar, which were the first two ever issued by the Republic of Somaliland. Nubian is a corporation incorporated under the laws of Ontario, Canada and Gregory Bowes, CEO, is its major shareholder. Mr. Bowes is also an officer and director of Mindesta. Under the option agreement, Mindesta can earn a 50% interest in both permits by incurring total exploration expenditures of $2 million within two years and can increase its interest to 80 per cent by completing a bankable feasibility study. Mindesta was required to make an upfront cash payment of $100,000 to Nubian as compensation for expenses incurred, and the first $750,000 of exploration expenditures represents a firm commitment. Mindesta also has the option to acquire all of Nubian’s remaining interest in the permits at fair market value as determined by an independent valuator at any time after incurring the first $750,000 of exploration expenditures. On October 6, 2011, the Board of Directors approved a revolving loan agreement between Mindesta, as the lender, and Nubian, as the borrower, to fund the ongoing exploration activities of Nubian in anticipation of the companies negotiating and entering into the option agreement. Under the revolving loan agreement, all amounts due from Nubian to the Company were provided under a $100,000 credit facility which was repayable upon the earlier of one year from the date of the agreement or the signing of a property option agreement. The revolving loan agreement became repayable upon the signing of a property option agreement and all obligations of Nubian were applied against the expenditure requirements of the Company under the property option agreement. The obligations under the revolving loan agreement are now considered paid in full, and the revolving loan agreement has terminated and has no further force or effect. Advances under the facility bore interest from October 6, 2011 at an annual rate of 7.5 per cent, payable annually. On December 2, 2011, this facility was amended to increase the maximum of the revolving loan agreement to $150,000. In 2012, Mindesta is focusing its efforts on mineral exploration in East Africa, and in particular the Republic of Somaliland and Ethiopia, as it believes the region has very attractive geology and an improving political environment.

11


In 2012, Nubian was awarded a third permit, Abdul Qadir, which is approximately 2,000 km2 in size and is located in the northeast part of Somaliland adjacent to the borders with Djibouti and Ethiopia. Abdul Qadir is automatically included in the Option Agreement pursuant to its terms with no change in expenditure requirements. Nubian has agreed with the government of Somaliland to reduce the size of the Arapsyo and Qabri Bahar permits by 50% following completion of the first phase exploration program.

Mindesta has completed a stream and rock sampling program over the Arapsyo, Qabri Bahar and Abdul Qadir permits which involved taking over 3,000 samples. To date, Mindesta has incurred expenditures of approximately $758,694 on work on these permits which exceeds the initial $750,000 requirement. The Company will require additional financing to execute the second stage program.

Somaliland is an independent democratic republic which is not yet recognized by the international community. In order to attract investment and enhance the country’s reputation and standing in the international community, the government desired to update its antiquated mining code and attract foreign companies to explore and ultimately develop its mineral potential. Nubian signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the government, effective June 10, 2010, whereby Nubian would assist the government in drafting a new, modern mining code and generally provide consulting services with respect to legal, financial and technical matters relating to the new mining code. In exchange, the government agreed to grant Nubian prospecting permits under the existing mining code and to automatically renew the prospecting permits for successive one year terms until such time as a new mining code is passed into law at which time the prospecting permits would become subject to the new mining code.

Following the election of a new government and the appointment of a new mines minister, Nubian signed an amendment to the MOU, effective June 14, 2011. Under the amendment the new government confirmed the validity of the MOU and granted Nubian the exclusive mineral exploration rights to two 2,000 km2 areas being Arapsyo (from 430 30’ 00” to 440 10’ 00” and from 90 40’ 00” to 90 55’ 00”) and Qabri Bahar (100 00’ 00” to 100 15’ 00” and from 430 20’ 00” to 440 00’ 00”).

Nubian retains the exclusive mineral rights to the above areas, provided that it meets certain expenditure commitments, until such time as the new mining code is enacted and becomes law at which time the exclusive mineral rights will convert into exploration permits according to the terms of the new mining code. The expenditure commitments consist of $50,000 to be spent on a literature review and remote sensing program, a minimum of $200,000 on a ground exploration and sampling program provided the government had made progress in establishing a new mining code, and that after the new mining code was passed Nubian would spend $1,250,000 on exploration within a two year period.

Nubian will be subject to the exploration period terms, fees, relinquishment requirements and expenditure requirements contained in the new mining code with respect to the areas for which it holds exclusive mineral exploration rights. In the interim, Nubian agreed to reduce the size of the areas of exclusive mineral rights by 50 per cent on the second anniversary from the date of the MOU amendment and will reduce the remaining area by a further 50 per cent on the fourth anniversary date (unless specified otherwise in the new mining code), and provided that the Government has made significant progress in passing the new mining code and Nubian has been able to carry out its exploration programs.

Effective September 1, 2011 Nubian was officially granted the two permits which are subject to a US$8,000 annual licensing fee. Effective March 28, 2012 Nubian signed a second MOU amendment with the government of Somaliland whereby Nubian was granted a third permit, Abdul Qadir, which is approximately 2,000km2 in size, is subject to the same $8,000 annual fee and has the following coordinates/corner posts:

1)

100 55’ N’ 420 58’ E (border)

6)

100 24’ N’ 420 32’ E (border).

7)

Somaliland – Ethiopia and Somaliland – Djibouti border between 1) and 6).

Nubian agreed to relinquish 50% of the Arapsyo and Qabri Bahar permits by July 31, 2012 as part of obtaining the new permit and is in the process of doing so. As the permits will fall under the terms of the new mining code when passed, it is not possible at this time to determine what conditions they will be subject to with respect to tenure, expenditure requirements, development, etc. However, it is anticipated that the new mining code will be based on, and competitive with, the mining codes in other African countries. Under the option agreement, Mindesta is responsible for all of Nubian’s obligations with respect to the MOU and the two amendments.

 

12


Due to weak equity markets and the inability of Mindesta to raise additional capital, especially for an early stage exploration program in Somaliland, Nubian and Bowes & Company agreed to advance funds to the Company to fund ongoing exploration activities. Effective August 1, 2012, the Board of Directors approved a loan agreement between Nubian and Bowes & Company. Nubian and Bowes & Company are corporations incorporated under the laws of Ontario, Canada and Gregory Bowes is the CEO and major shareholder of both companies. Mr. Bowes is also an officer and director of Mindesta. Mr. Bowes declared his conflict of interest to the Board of Directors and abstained from voting on the consent resolution approving the revolving loan agreement. Under the loan agreement, all amounts due from Mindesta to Nubian and Bowes & Company are provided under a $250,000 credit facility which is repayable upon the termination date of December 31, 2012. Any obligation outstanding after the Termination Date shall accrue interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum. Under the terms of the loan agreement, Mindesta is required to sell its remaining shares of Northern as they are released from escrow and remit all proceeds to Bowes & Company, until all obligations to Bowes & Company are satisfied, and then shall remit any further proceeds to Nubian until all obligations to Nubian are satisfied. All advances under this facility bear interest from August 1, 2012 at an annual rate of 7.5 per cent, payable annually, or earlier at anytime that the advances are repaid in full. At any time, before or after the termination date, Bowes & Company and Nubian shall have the right to convert any part of, or all of, the obligations into common shares of Mindesta Inc. at a price of $0.075 per share.

On November 27, 2012, Mindesta announced that it received assay results from its first stage stream sediment and rock sampling program on the Arapsyo, Qabri Bahar and Abdul Qadir exploration permits in the Republic of Somaliland. Over the September, 2011 to April, 2012 period, 2,500km2 of the Arapsyio and Qabri Bahar permits were sampled at a density of one sample every 1-2 km2. A total of 1,659 stream sediment and 58 rock samples were submitted to the assay laboratory.

Encouraging regional anomalies have been identified, particularly for gold, and future work will be centered on narrowing them down by infill stream sediment sampling and prospecting followed by soil sampling and/or geophysics. A Cu/Mo/Bi occurrence is already at a stage where soil sampling and that ground geophysics could be carried out. Future work would also include ground checking a significant number of secondary anomalies on a case by case basis.

Mindesta has made the first $750,000 of exploration expenditures as required as a firm commitment but has accumulated substantial payables to Bowes & Company and Nubian in doing so. The Company does not have the resources to repay these amounts or make ongoing commitments with respect to the permits. Options are currently being evaluated.

Nubian made application to reduce the size of the Arapsyo and Qabri Bahar permits by 50% in 2012. Agreement on the new permit has not yet been reached and Nubian has not pursued the issue due to the depressed state of equity markets for junior exploration companies. Under the various agreements signed with the government of Somaliland, Nubian retains the exploration rights to the areas covered by the permits until such time as a new Mining Code is passed and at such time they will become subject to the provisions of the new Mining Code. As the government of Somaliland has made no progress in passing a new Mining Code, a “force majeure” situation essentially exists during which Nubian retains the exploration rights to the three permits.

Efffective July 5, 2013, W. Campbell Birge, Douglas Perkins, and Albert Zapanta resigned as Directors of Mindesta Inc.. There were no disagreements with the Company regarding its operations or financial reporting.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a net loss of $130,371 or ($0.01) per share, compared to a loss of $826,955 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, or ($0.09) per share. The Company had no revenues for the period ended September 30 in both 2013 and 2012 as the Company is an exploration stage company with no source of revenues.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, expenses amounted to $148,592 compared to $992,867 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. There were lower expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of lower exploration expenses incurred by Nubian Gold. The Company expensed $12,500 in management fees and salaries in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $32,514 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Professional fees decreased to $43,980 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $133,586 in 2012 as a result of additional fees related to the Company’s pro rata dividend-in-kind in 2012. General and administration expenses decreased from $120,463 in the first nine months of 2012 to $77,158 in the first nine months of 2013 as the Company has scaled back all activities.

The Company currently has no full time employees and contracts with consultants for administrative and financial services.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had cash as at September 30, 2013 of $1,426 versus $12,091 as at December 31, 2012 due to the sale of shares of Northern Graphite, offset by exploration expenditures incurred under the property option agreement with Nubian, payment of operating expenses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and repayment of amounts due to related parties.

The Company requires additional funding to continue operations and there is no assurance that such financing will be available or will be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

13


Going Concern Consideration

The Company's auditors in their report for the year ended December 31, 2012 have expressed a concern that the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern. The Company had a net loss from operations of $130,371 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and has had recurring losses and an accumulated deficit of $13,166,635 since inception. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital for operating and administrative costs. However, there is a high degree of risk and many inherent uncertainties in the natural resource development industry and management cannot provide assurances that it will be successful.

The Company no longer has ownership in Northern and operates as a distinct entity. As at September 30, 2013, the Company had $1,426 in cash. If the Company cannot continue as a going concern the value of the Company's assets may approach a level close to zero. Investors should be cautioned that the Company could cease to operate and if this occurs, the Company may only recover a small fraction of the original costs of its assets should a liquidation of the Company's assets occur. The Financial Statements do not include any adjustments that might result if the going concern assumption is not valid.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

IMI is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not required to provide information under this item.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a) – 15(e) and Rule 15(d) – 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation and in light of the discussion of the material weakness discussed below in the Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, the CEO/CFO has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO/CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the CEO and implemented by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting includes an analysis under the COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of the control environment by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on the evaluation described above, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective during the period ended September 30, 2013. Management has determined that (i) the ability of management to override internal control systems, and (ii) the significant amount of manual intervention required in the accounting and financial reporting process are material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter and the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
