DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Royal Mines and Minerals Corp’s (the “Company”) fiscal year-end is April 30.

Description of Business – The Company is considered an exploration stage company. The Company's primary objectives are to 1) commercially extract and refine precious metals from its own and other’s leachable assets, 2) use its lixiviation processes to convert specific ore bodies and coal ash landfills/monofills into valuable assets, and 3) joint venture, acquire and develop mining projects in North America. The Company has not yet realized significant revenues from its primary objectives.

History – The Company was incorporated on December 14, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On June 13, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Royal Mines Acquisition Corp., in the state of Nevada.

On October 5, 2007, Centrus Ventures Inc. (Centrus) completed the acquisition of Royal Mines Inc. (“Royal Mines”). The acquisition of Royal Mines was completed by way of a “triangular merger” pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 24, 2007 (the “First Merger Agreement”) among Centrus, Royal Mines Acquisition Corp. (“Centrus Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Centrus, Royal Mines and Kevin B. Epp, the former sole executive officer and director of Centrus. On October 5, 2007, under the terms of the First Merger Agreement, Royal Mines was merged with and into Centrus Sub, with Centrus Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the “First Merger”).

On October 6, 2007, a second merger was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 6, 2007 (the “Second Merger Agreement”) between Centrus and its wholly owned subsidiary, Centrus Sub, whereby Centrus Sub was merged with and into Centrus, with Centrus continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Second Merger”). As part of the Second Merger, Centrus changed its name from “Centrus Ventures Inc.” to “Royal Mines And Minerals Corp.”(“the Company”). Other than the name change, no amendments were made to the Articles of Incorporation.

Under the terms and conditions of the First Merger Agreement, each share of Royal Mines’ common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the First Merger was converted into one share of Centrus’ common stock. As a result, a total of 32,183,326 shares of Centrus common stock were issued to former stockholders of Royal Mines. In addition, Mr. Epp surrendered 23,500,000 shares of Centrus common stock for cancellation in consideration of payment by Centrus of $0.001 per share for an aggregate consideration of $23,500. As a result, upon completion of the First Merger, the former stockholders of Royal Mines owned approximately 69.7% of the issued and outstanding common stock.

As such, Royal Mines is deemed to be the acquiring enterprise for financial reporting purposes. All acquired assets and liabilities of Centrus were recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition, as required by the purchase method of accounting, and the tangible net liabilities were debited against equity of the Company. There are no continuing operations of Centrus from the date of acquisition.

Going Concern - As of January 31, 2014, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of $15,548,832 from operations, accumulated other comprehensive loss of $620,000 since inception, and has negative working capital of $953,774. The Company is still in the exploration stage and has not fully commenced its mining and minerals processing operations, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

ROYAL MINES AND MINERALS CORP.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2014
(Unaudited)

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company raising additional sources of capital and the successful execution of the Company’s objectives. The Company will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or equity financing, but there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent.

Fair Value - ASC 825, Financial Instruments requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, prepaid expenses, other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and loans payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of January 31, 2014 as follows:

Fair Value Measurements at January 31, 2014 Using:

  Assets:   Total Carrying Value     Quoted Marked     Significant     Significant  
      as of 1/31/2014     Prices in Active     Other     Unobservable

   Total $  380,000   $  -   $  380,000   $  -  

The Company did not have any investments in marketable securities at April 30, 2013.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 3 to 10 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of operations.

The Company periodically evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated useful life of fixed assets or whether the remaining balance of fixed assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. The Company uses an estimate of the related undiscounted cash flows over the remaining life of the fixed assets in measuring their recoverability.

Exploration Costs – Exploration costs incurred in locating areas of potential mineralization or evaluating properties or working interests with specific areas of potential mineralization are expensed as incurred. Development costs of proven mining properties not yet producing are capitalized at cost and classified as capitalized exploration costs under property, plant and equipment. Property holding costs are charged to operations during the period if no significant exploration or development activities are being conducted on the related properties. Upon commencement of production, capitalized exploration and development costs would be amortized based on the estimated proven and probable reserves benefited. Properties determined to be impaired or that are abandoned are written-down to the estimated fair value. Carrying values do not necessarily reflect present or future values.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC 360-10-35-17, Measurement of an Impairment Loss, if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable.

Various factors could impact our ability to achieve forecasted production schedules. Additionally, commodity prices, capital expenditure requirements and reclamation costs could differ from the assumptions the Company may use in cash flow models used to assess impairment. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable minerals from exploration stage mineral interests involves further risks in addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence that the identified mineralized material can ultimately be mined economically. As of April 30, 2013, the Company did not pay the renewal fee on the 20 acre claim and the BLM claims due in August 2012 and allowed those claims to lapse. The Company recognized an impairment expense of zero and $38,400 for the nine months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue from licensing our technology is recognized over the term of the license agreement. Costs and expenses are recognized during the period in which they are incurred.

Research and Development - All research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share - The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, and ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, which establish standards for the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for basic and diluted earnings per share for entities with publicly held common shares and potential common stock issuances. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In computing diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted to reflect the effect of potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. Common stock equivalents, which include stock options and warrants to purchase common stock, on January 31, 2014 and 2013 that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive were 153,455,129 and 109,195,129, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company accounts for share based payments in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award. In accordance with ASC 718-10-30-9, Measurement Objective – Fair Value at Grant Date, the Company estimates the fair value of the award using a valuation technique. For this purpose, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company believes this model provides the best estimate of fair value due to its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such as volatility and interest rates, and to allow for actual exercise behavior of option holders. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period which is generally equal to the vesting period. Upon exercise, shares issued will be newly issued shares from authorized common stock.

ASC 505, "Compensation-Stock Compensation", establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments to non-employees for goods or services. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505.

Recent Accounting Standards – From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards did not or will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-05, Service Concession Arrangements (Topic 853), a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force. The objective of the update is to specify that an operating entity should not account for a service concession arrangement within the scope of this update as a lease in accordance with Topic 840, Leases. It is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company does not expect ASU 2014-05 to have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operation, or cash flows.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11–Income Taxes (Topic 740), Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The standard provides updated guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. It becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and the impact to the consolidated financial statements will not be material.

Marketable securities are held for an indefinite period of time and thus are classified as available-for-sale securities. Realized investment gains and losses are included in the statement of operations, as are provisions for other than temporary declines in the market value of available-for-sale securities. Unrealized gains and unrealized losses deemed to be temporary are excluded from earnings (losses), net of applicable taxes, as a component of other comprehensive income. Factors considered in judging whether an impairment is other than temporary include the financial condition, business prospects and creditworthiness of the issuer, the length of time that fair value has been less than cost, the relative amount of decline, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment until the fair value recovers.

Additionally, each cash subscriber executed a subscription agreement which included a good faith representation by the Company to enter into definitive agreements to grant a net profits interest on the basis of 1% for each $10,000 invested. The profit payout will be net of operating and financing costs and an agreed upon management fee, from the Company's interest in its first joint venture, license or its own production facility using its coal ash process. The maximum payout will be 8 times original cash investment by each subscriber.

2013 Stock Incentive Plan - Effective June 20, 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan"). The 2013 Plan allows the Company to grant certain options to its directors, officers, employees and eligible consultants. A total of 27,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are available for issuance under the 2010 Plan. However, the Company may increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be optioned and sold under the 2013 Plan provided the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be optioned and sold under the 2013 Plan shall at no time be greater than 15.0% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding.

On October 29, 2013, the Company granted non-qualified stock options under the 2013 Plan for the purchase of 18,100,000 shares of common stock at $0.03 per share.

The Company calculated the value of the options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: a bond equivalent yield of 0.75%, volatility of 436%, estimated life of 5 years and closing stock price of $0.03 per share on the date of grant.

Effective June 20, 2013, the Company suspended the 2011 Plan.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute "forward-looking statements.” These statements, identified by words such as “plan,” "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "should," "expect" and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include those set forth under the caption "Part II – Item 1A. Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We do not intend to update the forward-looking information to reflect actual results or changes in the factors affecting such forward-looking information. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents, particularly our Annual Reports, Quarterly Reports and Current Reports, that we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

OVERVIEW

We were incorporated on December 14, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. We are an exploration stage company and our primary objectives are to: (i) commercially extract and refine precious metals from our own and others mineralized materials; (ii) use our leaching process (Cholla) to recover precious metals from specific ore bearing materials; and (iii) joint venture, acquire and develop mining projects in North America.

We are focusing our business on commercially processing specific fly ash and other mineable materials, using a leach process that exposes extractable gold (the “Cholla Process”) at our processing and refining plant located in Scottsdale, Arizona (the “Scottsdale Facility”). In November 2012, we shut down our Phoenix Facility and we have no plans to continue that operation.

In August 2012, we did not pay the renewal fee on our interest a gold project that consisted of a mineral lease covering 20.61 acres of patented claims and an option to acquire a 100% interest in 20 unpatented claims located near the mineral lease.

In September 2013, we released Golden Anvil S.A. de C.V. (“Golden Anvil”) from loan agreements pursuant to which, Golden Anvil owed us USD$983,055 in secured indebtedness. In exchange for the release, Golden Anvil had 2,000,000 common shares of Gainey Capital Corp. (“Gainey”) issued to us as part of an asset purchase agreement between Golden Anvil and Gainey.

We are actively seeking to enter into joint ventures with third parties who have legal rights to fly ash resources, including landfills/monofills. There is no assurance that we will be able to commercially extract precious metals from fly ash or other mineable ores using our Cholla process or that we will be able to enter into joint ventures for the exploration and development of additional mining projects.

4


Our operating expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2014 decreased as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2013. The decrease in our operating expenses primarily relates to the impairment of intellectual property recorded during the three months ended January 31, 2013 off-set by an increase in general and administrative expenses.

Our operating expenses for the nine months ended January 31, 2014 increased as compared to the nine months ended January 31, 2013. The increase in our operating expenses primarily relates an increase in general and administrative expenses. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in mineral exploration evaluation expenses and the impairment of intellectual property and mineral claims recorded during the nine months ended January 31, 2013.

Mineral exploration and evaluation expenses primarily consisted of stock option compensation, rent, leased equipment, extraction-processing costs, consulting fees and labor expenses in connection with our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility.

The decrease in mineral exploration and evaluation expenses during the nine months ended January 31, 2014 was primarily due to a decrease in consulting fees, contract labor and extraction processing costs due to reduced activities at our Scottsdale Facility and the fact that we shut down our Phoenix Facility in November 2012, offset by $89,915 in stock option compensation expense in October 2013.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2014, our general and administrative and general and administrative related party expenses primarily consisted of: (i) stock option compensation expense; (ii) monthly consulting fees paid to our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Mitchell; and (iii) legal and audit fees in connection with meeting our reporting requirements under the Exchange Act.

Impairment of mineral claims relates to the fact that we did not pay the renewal fee on our interest in a gold project that consisted of a mineral lease covering 20.61 acres of patented claims and an option to acquire a 100% interest in 20 unpatented claims located near the mineral lease. Impairment of intellectual property relates to the impairment of our thiourea lixiviation technology.

We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase significantly as we implement our plan of operation for our Scottsdale Facility.

As of January 31, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of $953,774 as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,706,502 as of April 30, 2013. The decrease in our working capital deficit is primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable – related parties, and loans payable – related parties related to the issuance of stock and warrants in November 2013. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued interest – related parties.

FINANCING REQUIREMENTS

Currently, we do not have sufficient financial resources to complete our plan of operation for the next twelve months. As such, our ability to complete our plan of operation is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing in the near term.

We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. 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 mining, development and exploration activities.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no significant 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, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to our annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, filed with the SEC on July 31, 2013.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of January 31, 2014 (the “Evaluation Date”). This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We received a verified complaint (the “Complaint”), dated September 12, 2013, that was filed in Arizona Superior Court, Maricopa County, by McKendry Enterprises, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan and Retirement Trust (the “Landlord”), alleging breach of contract and breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing in relation to the lease agreement dated June 6, 2007, between the Landlord and us, as amended (the “Lease Agreement”). The Complaint seeks to recover damages of at least $108,581, including, but not limited to: (1) $56,358 in rent; (ii) $52,223 for maintenance, clean up costs and construction; and (3) undetermined damages for additional repair, clean up and legal fees. We intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully defend the lawsuit. We are currently evaluating the merits of the lawsuit and the probability of a favorable outcome. Rent expense of $50,858 is recorded in accounts payable as at January 31, 2014. In the event of an unfavorable outcome, we will be required to record additional liability.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

The following are some of the important factors that could affect our financial performance or could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in our forward-looking statements. We may encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.

If we do not obtain additional financing, we may not be able to continue our operations at our Scottsdale Facility or enter into any potential joint venture or licensing agreements.

As of January 31, 2014, we had cash on hand of $20,397 and accumulated net loss of $15,548,832 and accumulated other comprehensive loss of $620,000 since inception. Our plan of operation calls for significant expenses in connection with the operation of our Scottsdale Facility and the entry of any potential joint ventures. If we are unable to raise sufficient financing there is a substantial risk that we will be unable to meet payments of principal and interest to our creditors and pay our consultants and employees. In November 2012, we shut down our Phoenix Facility and we have no plans to continue that operation. In addition, we will require substantial financing in order to implement our plan of operation over the next twelve months. There is no assurance that this will satisfy all of our working capital requirements for the next twelve months or that these funds will be sufficient to complete our planned exploration and development programs.

We are currently, party to a lawsuit that may be expensive and time consuming, and, if resolved adversely, could have a significant impact on our business and financial condition.

We received a verified complaint (the “Complaint”), dated September 12, 2013, that was filed in Arizona Superior Court, Maricopa County, by McKendry Enterprises, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan and Retirement Trust (the “Landlord”), alleging breach of contract and breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing in relation to the lease agreement dated June 6, 2007, between the Landlord and us, as amended (the “Lease Agreement”). The Complaint seeks to recover damages of at least $108,581, including, but not limited to: (1) $56,358 in rent; (ii) $52,223 for maintenance, clean up costs and construction; and (3) undetermined damages for additional repair, clean up and legal fees. We intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully defend the lawsuit. If the lawsuit is resolved unfavorably it will have a significant impact on our business operations and will limit our ability to continue our operations.

Because we are an exploration stage company, we face a high risk of business failure.

We have earned minimal revenues from the processing of ore at our Phoenix and Scottsdale Facilities. Our primary business activities have involved the exploration and development on the Piute Valley Property and the commencement of operations at our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility. In November 2012, we shut down our Phoenix Facility and we have no plans to continue that operation. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by exploration stage companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.

7


Because we anticipate our operating expenses will increase prior to our earning significant revenues, we may never achieve profitability.

Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses prior to realizing any significant revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the operation of our Scottsdale Facility or the exploration and development of our mineral property and the production of minerals thereon, if any, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we may not be able to ever generate any operating revenues or achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mining properties, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and our business will fail.

The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We may not find commercially exploitable reserves of precious metals on our mineral claims. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture, necessarily involving substantial risk. The expenditures to be made by us in the upcoming exploration of the mineral claims may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of ore. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.

Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages if and when we conduct mineral exploration activities.

The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, if and when we conduct exploration activities we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

Certain work to be performed at our facilities may require us to apply for permits from federal, state or local regulatory bodies.

If our applications for permits from the relevant regulatory bodies are denied, we may not be able to proceed with our exploration and development programs as disclosed above, which could have a negative effect on our business.

If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may not be able to implement our business plan and our business will fail.

Our success will largely depend on our ability to hire highly qualified personnel with experience in geological exploration. These individuals may be in high demand and we may not be able to attract the staff we need. In addition, we may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by qualified personnel, or may lose such employees after they are hired. Our failure to hire key personnel when needed could have a significant negative effect on our business.

If we complete additional financings through the sale of shares of our common stock, our existing stockholders will experience dilution.

The most likely source of future financing presently available to us is through the issuance of our common stock. The only other anticipated alternative for the financing of further exploration would be the offering by us of an interest in our properties to be earned by another party or parties carrying out further exploration thereof, which is not presently contemplated. Issuing shares of our common stock, for financing purposes or otherwise, will dilute the interests of our existing stockholders.

Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be more limited in their ability to sell their stock.

Our common stock is considered to be a “penny stock” since it does not qualify for one of the exemptions from the definition of “penny stock” under Section 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. Our common stock is a “penny stock” because it meets one or more of the following conditions (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or even if so, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company that has been in business less than three years with net tangible assets less than $5 million.

The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” regulations set forth in Rules 15-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For example, Rule 15g-2 requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult and time consuming for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.
