(1) The claim is subject to a 1.5% royalty on the net sales of minerals extracted from the property to a total of $600,000. The royalty payments are due monthly while the claim is being exploited, and are subject to minimum payments of $1,000 per month. The Company commenced exploitation of the claim on January 15, 2014 and as of April 30, 2014 paid $3,502 in royalty payments to the vendor.   

(2) The claims are subject to a 1% royalty on the net sales of minerals extracted from the property to a total of $100,000. The royalty payments are due monthly once exploitation begins and are not subject to minimum payments. The Company has no obligation to pay the royalty if it does not commence exploitation.

(3) See Perth Project discussion below.

* As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Geoactiva has submitted the results of the exploration work conducted on the Farellon claim. The Company is evaluating these results to determine whether the scope of work resulted in the required $500,000 in exploration expenditures.

 

** The amount has been credited against the carrying value of the Perth property. The excess of $27,687 over the carrying value of the Perth property has been recorded as a gain on mineral property option payment in the consolidated statements of operations.


Upon exercise of the Option Agreement and once the commercial production begins, Geoactiva will pay the Company a Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”) of 1.5% from the sale of gold, copper, and cobalt extracted from the Perth property. At any time after the exercise of the Option Agreement and Geoactiva’s fulfilment of the investment commitment of $3,500,000 in exploration expenditures, Geoactiva may purchase 100% of the NSR as follows:


Gold: paying $5 per inferred ounce of gold, according to the definition of Inferred Mineral Resource in the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.


Copper: $0.005 per inferred ounce of copper, according to the definition of Inferred Mineral Resource in the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.


Cobalt: If Geoactiva acquires the NSR with respect to gold, copper, or both, the NSR relating to cobalt will be terminated.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by Red Metal Resources Ltd. contains forward-looking statements. These are statements regarding financial and operating performance and results and other statements that are not historical facts. The words “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “forecast,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Certain important risks could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the forward-looking statements. Some, but not all, of these risks include, among other things:


 

general economic conditions, because they may affect our ability to raise money;

 

our ability to raise enough money to continue our operations;

 

changes in regulatory requirements that adversely affect our business;

 

changes in the prices for minerals that adversely affect our business;

 

political changes in Chile, which could affect our interests there, and / or

 

other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.


We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s view only as of the date of this report. We are not obligated to update these statements or publicly release the results of any revisions to them to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should refer to, and carefully review, the information in future documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

General

 

You should read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014. The inclusion of supplementary analytical and related information may require us to make estimates and assumptions to enable us to fairly present, in all material respects, our analysis of trends and expectations with respect to our results of operations and financial position taken as a whole. Actual results may vary from the estimates and assumptions we make.

 

Overview

 

Red Metal Resources Ltd. (“Red Metal”, or “the Company”) is a mineral exploration company engaged in locating, and eventually developing, mineral resources in Chile. Our business strategy is to identify, acquire and explore prospective mineral claims with a view to either developing them ourselves or, more likely, finding a joint venture partner with the mining experience and financial means to undertake the development. All of our claims are in the Candelaria IOCG belt in the Chilean Coastal Cordillera.


Consistent with our historical practices, we continue to monitor our costs in Chile by reviewing our mineral claims to determine whether they possess the geological indicators to economically justify the capital to maintain or explore them. Currently our subsidiary, Minera Polymet Limitada, has two employees in Chile and engages part time assistants during our exploration programs. Most of our support - such as vehicles, office and equipment - is supplied under short-term contracts. The only long-term commitments that we have are for royalty payments on two of our mineral claims – Farellon and Che. These royalties are payable once exploitation begins. We also are required to pay property taxes that are due annually on all the claims that are included in our properties.






1




The cost and timing of all planned exploration programs are subject to the availability of qualified mining personnel, such as consulting geologists and geo-technicians, and drillers and drilling equipment. Although Chile has a well-trained and qualified mining workforce from which to draw and few early-stage companies such as ours are competing for the available resources, if we are unable to find the personnel and equipment that we need when we need them and at the prices that we have estimated today, we might have to revise or postpone our plans.

 

Recent corporate events


The following corporate developments have occurred during the first quarter ended April 30, 2014, and up to the date of the filing of this report:


Option with Geoactiva SpA


On April 30, 2013, Minera Polymet Limitada (“Polymet”), our Chilean subsidiary, granted Geoactiva SpA, a Chilean mining company (“Geoactiva”), an option to purchase 100% of our Perth property.  To maintain the option and acquire the property, Geoactiva agreed to pay Minera Polymet $1,000,000 and incur $3,500,000 in exploration expenses over 48 months. On April 30, 2014, we received a third installment payment pursuant to the option agreement, which resulted in a gain of $27,687. At the same time we also received a detailed report on exploration work conducted on the Perth property. We are evaluating these results to determine whether the scope of work resulted in the required exploration expenditures.  


Grant of options


On February 28, 2014, we granted options to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of our common stock under the Red Metal Resources Ltd. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan. The options were granted to certain officers, directors, consultants and employees. Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Vice President of Exploration were each granted options to purchase up to 300,000 shares of our common stock. The options are exercisable at $0.15 for a term of two years and vested upon grant.


Memorandum of Understanding

On May 27, 2014, Polymet entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with David Mitchell to acquire an option to earn 100% interest in two mining claims contiguous to the Farellon Property. The entry into an option agreement is subject to results of a due diligence process which Polymet must conclude by July 26, 2014. In order to acquire 100% interest in the mining claims we will be required to pay Mr. Mitchell $300,000 in a combination of shares of our common stock and cash over a four year period. The claims will be subject to a 1.5% royalty on net smelter returns which can be bought out by making a one-time payment totalling $1,500,000 any time after acquiring 100% interest in the claims.

During the quarters ended July 31, 2012 through April 30, 2013 we maintained our exploration and operating activities at moderate levels. Our net losses for these quarters were $296,729; $250,578; $155,453 and $147,484, respectively. The net losses during the quarters ended October 31, 2012 and April 30, 2013 included write downs of our unproved mineral claims totaling $76,233 and $6,000, respectively. During the quarter ended July 31, 2013, we filed an amendment to our registration statement that was originally filed in May of 2011, which resulted in an increase to our legal fees. During the same quarter we continued to maintain all other day-to-day operations at a minimum level, resulting in a net loss comparable to the net losses recorded for the quarters ended January 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013. During the quarter ended October 31, 2013, we reached an agreement with certain debt holders to pay $750,000 in debt owed to them with 15,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.05 per share. The conversion was recorded at $0.04 per share, the market price of our common stock on the date of the transaction, which resulted in gain on settlement of debt of $150,000; this gain was partially offset by legal and regulatory fees associated with the registration statement on Form S-1 that we filed with Securities and Exchange Commission in order to register these shares. During the past two quarters ended January 31 and April 30, 2014 we kept our exploration and operating activities at low levels. The higher net loss during the quarter ended April 30, 2014, resulted from $146,901 in stock based compensation we recorded on issuance of options to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of our common stock to our executives, consultants and employees. This increase was partially offset by the gain we recorded on the option payment we received from Geoactiva pursuant to our option agreement with the company.

Revenue. Our revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2014 was $3,002; this revenue was generated from the royalty payments we received from Minera Farellon. We did not have any revenue during the three months ended April 30, 2013. Due to the exploration rather than the production nature of our business, we do not expect to have significant operating revenue within the next year.

Operating expenses. Our operating expenses increased by $98,469 or 66.8%, from $147,484 for the three months ended April 30, 2013, to $245,953 for the three months ended April 30, 2014.


The following are our most significant year-to-date changes:

 

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2014 we granted options to purchase 1,200,000 shares of our common stock to certain officers, directors, consultants and employees, which resulted in stock-based compensation expense of $146,901. We did not have similar transactions during the three months ended April 30, 2013.

 

Our advertising and promotion expenses increased by $5,583 or 266% from $2,098 we incurred during the three months ended April 30, 2013 to $7,681 incurred during the three months ended April 30, 2014. The increase was associated with our efforts to bring awareness of our company to the general public.

 

As a result of the restructuring of our debt with certain debt holders during the year ended January 31, 2014, our interest on current debt decreased by $12,456, or 46%, from $27,000 we incurred during the three months ended April 30, 2013, to $14,544 incurred during the three months ended April 30, 2014.

 

Due to the decrease in our operating activities and our continued efforts to control the overhead costs, our professional and regulatory fees incurred during the three months ended April 30, 2014 decreased by $11,533 and $2,368, compared to the three months ended April 30, 2013.

 

Our salaries and wages as well as travel and entertainment expenses decreased by $11,553 and $2,993, respectively. These changes were associated with a decrease in our operating activities and our continued efforts to control the overhead costs.


Other items. During the three months ended April 30, 2014, we recorded a gain on mineral property option payments in the amount of $27,687 when we received a third option payment from Geoactiva. The gain represents the excess over the carrying value of the Perth property at the date of the payment.


 Comprehensive loss. Our comprehensive loss for the three months ended April 30, 2014 was $222,894 as compared to comprehensive loss of $138,829 that we recorded for the thee months ended April 30, 2013. The $84,065 increase in comprehensive loss was mainly associated with the stock based compensation we recorded on issuance of options to purchase our common stock, which was partially offset by the decreases in professional fees, wages and salaries as well as interest accrued on current debt.  

 

Liquidity

 

GOING CONCERN

 

The consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not generated any significant revenues from mineral sales since inception, have never paid any dividends and are unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. Our continuation as a going concern depends upon the continued financial support of our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow depends upon our ability to locate profitable mineral claims, generate revenue from mineral production and control our production costs. Based upon our current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods, which we plan to mitigate by controlling our operating costs and by sharing mineral exploration expenses through joint venture agreements, if possible.  At April 30, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of $1,748,091 and accumulated losses of $7,696,385 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate significant revenues in the future. Our consolidated interim financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in our financial statements.

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIQUIDITY

 

To date we have funded our operations by selling our securities and borrowing funds, and, to a minor extent, from mining royalties, geological services and option payments.

Net cash provided by financing activities. During the three months ended April 30, 2014, we borrowed $18,000 from a significant shareholder.

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2013, we borrowed CAD $30,000 (approximately $29,772) from our CEO.

 

Net cash used in operating activities. During the three months ended April 30, 2014, we used net cash of $2,129 in operating activities. We used $215,264 to cover operating costs and increase our prepaid expenses by $453. These uses of cash were offset by increases in our accounts payable of $7,748. Our accrued liabilities increased by $24,461; this increase was associated with property taxes that became payable on our mineral claims. We also increased our accounts payable to related parties by $52,921 and recorded $6,324 in accrued interest on notes payable to related parties.

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2013, we generated net cash of $8,993 from operating activities. We used $147,484 to cover operating costs and increase our prepaid expenses by $1,851. These uses of cash were offset by increases in our accounts payable and accrued interest on notes payable to related parties of $15,207 and $7,022, respectively. Our accrued liabilities increased by $38,256 mainly due to the recognition of property taxes that became payable on our mineral claims. We also increased our accounts payable to related parties by $70,949.


Certain non-cash changes in operating assets and liabilities. During the three months ended April 30, 2014, we recorded $146,901 as stock based compensation on the grant of options to purchase up to 1,200,000 shares of our common stock to certain officers, directors, consultants and employees.


Net cash used in investing activities. During the three months ended April 30, 2014, we spent $18,921 acquiring mineral claims. During the same period we received $50,000 from Geoactiva pursuant to the Property Option Agreement, of which $27,687 represented gain on mineral property options in excess over the carrying value of the Perth property.


During the three months ended April 30, 2013, we spent $39,321 acquiring mineral claims and paying property taxes associated with our mineral claims. During the same period we received $37,500 from Geoactiva pursuant to our Property Option Agreement.

 



6




Since inception through April 30, 2014, we have invested $1,447,561 acquiring our mineral claims and $19,820 for acquisition of other capital assets. During the same period we received $160,000 in option payments pursuant to our property option agreements.

 

Unproved mineral properties

 

We have three active properties which we have assembled since the beginning of 2007 - the Farellon, Perth, and Mateo. These properties are grouped into two geographical areas - Carrizal Alto area properties and Vallenar area properties.

Option with Geoactiva SpA.

 

On April 30, 2013, we granted Geoactiva SpA an option to purchase 100% of the Perth property through the execution of a mining option purchase agreement (the “Option Agreement”). In order to maintain the option to purchase and to acquire the Perth property, Geoactiva must pay us the total amount of $1,000,000 and incur exploration expenses over 48 months as set out in the following table.

* The first three option payments were received on-time, as specified in the above table.

 

All of the above option payments shall be made only if Geoactiva wishes to keep the Option Agreement in force and finally to exercise the option to purchase. If Geoactiva fails to incur the required exploration expenditures during a specific period it may fulfill its obligations by paying us the outstanding amount in cash.

 

Upon exercise of the Option Agreement and once the commercial production begins, Geoactiva agreed to pay us NSR of 1.5% from the sale of gold, copper, and cobalt extracted from the Perth property. At any time after the exercise of the Option Agreement and Geoactiva’s fulfillment of the investment commitment of $3,500,000 in exploration expenditures, Geoactiva may purchase 100% of the NSR as follows:

 

Gold: paying $5 per inferred ounce of gold, according to the definition of Inferred Mineral Resource in the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves

 

Copper: $0.005 per inferred ounce of copper, according to the definition of Inferred Mineral Resource in the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves

 

Cobalt: If Geoactiva acquires the NSR with respect to gold, copper, or both, the NSR relating to cobalt will be terminated


As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Geoactiva has provided us with the results of the exploration work conducted on the Perth property, which are now being evaluated to determine whether the scope of work resulted in the required $500,000 exploration expenditures.


Farellon Property.


On May 23, 2013, we entered into a rental agreement with Minera Farellon Limitada (“Minera Farellon”), to allow Minera Farellon to conduct certain exploration and mining activities on the Farellon Alto 1 - 8 claim (the “Farellon Claim”) in exchange for a 10% royalty on gross smelter returns.


In January 2014 Minera Farellon Limitada commenced small scale mining activities on the Farellon Claim, which, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, have reached approximately 20 meters vertical depth. The main drilling target is an area intersected in the 2011 and 2013 drilling campaigns including intercepts in drill holes FAR-11-001 of 3.95% Cu and 0.53 g/t Au over 8 meters, FAR-13-002 of 2.15% Cu and 0.28 g/t Au over 7 meters and FAR-13-001 of 0.70% Cu and 0.20 g/t Au over six meters including 1.25% Cu and 0.34 g/t Au over two meters. The target area is at 35 meters vertical depth from surface. During mining development the vein zone has been intersected several times and ore material has been removed and sold to ENAMI, a Chilean national mining company with regional ore processing plants.





9




During the three months ended April 30, 2014, we received $3,002 in royalty revenue from gross smelter returns. At the same time, the mining activities conducted by Minera Farellon triggered our obligation to pay the minimum royalty to the original vendors of the Farellon Alto 1 – 8 claim which totaled $3,002 and were recorded as part of mineral exploration costs.


In order to expand our Farellon Property, on May 27, 2014, our subsidiary, Minera Polymet Limitada, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with David Mitchell to acquire an option to earn 100% interest in two mining claims contiguous to our Farellon Property. The entry into an option agreement is subject to results of a due diligence process which we must conclude by July 26, 2014. In order to acquire 100% interest in the mining claims we will be required to pay Mr. Mitchell $300,000 in a combination of shares of our common stock and cash over a four year period. The claims will be subject to a 1.5% royalty on net smelter returns which we will be able to buy out by making a one-time payment totalling $1,500,000 any time after acquiring 100% of the claims.


Capital resources

 

Our ability to acquire and explore our Chilean claims is subject to our ability to obtain the necessary funding.  We expect to raise funds through loans from private or affiliated persons and sales of our debt or equity securities. Aside from the Option Agreement with Geoactiva, which Geoactiva may decide not to maintain, we have no committed sources of capital.  If we are unable to raise funds as and when we need them, we may be required to curtail, or even to cease, our operations.

 

Contingencies and commitments

 

We had no contingencies at April 30, 2014.

 

As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report we have the following long-term contractual obligations and commitments:

 

 

Farellon royalty. We are committed to paying the vendor a royalty equal to 1.5% on the net sales of minerals extracted from the Farellon Alto 1 - 8 claim up to a total of $600,000. The royalty payments are due monthly once exploitation begins and are subject to minimum payments of $1,000 per month.

  

Che royalty. We are committed to paying a royalty equal to 1% of the net sales of minerals extracted from the claims to a maximum of $100,000 to the former owner. The royalty payments are due monthly once exploitation begins, and are not subject to minimum payments.

  

Mineral property taxes. To keep our mineral claims in good standing we are required to pay mineral property taxes of approximately $22,000 per annum.

 

Equity financing


To generate working capital, between February 1, 2012 and June 14, 2014 we issued 267,335 shares of our common stock and warrants for the purchase of 267,335 shares of common stock to raise $120,301 under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933. We issued 500,000 shares of our common stock on exercise of warrants for total proceeds of $150,000.


On August 12, 2013, we reached an agreement with certain debt holders to pay $750,000 in debt with 15,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.05 per share. The transaction resulted in a $750,000 reduction to our current liabilities and a gain of $150,000 on settlement of debt.


Based on our operating plan, we anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future and will require additional equity capital to support our operations and develop our business plan.  If we succeed in completing future equity financings, the issuance of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders.




10




Debt financing


Between February 1, 2012 and April 30, 2014, we borrowed a total of $230,074 from related parties.  Of this amount, $56,553 has been repaid.  

 

Challenges and risks

 

Other than gain on mineral property option payments we generate from the Option Agreement with Geoactiva and royalty revenue from Minera Farellon, we do not anticipate generating any cash from our operations over the next twelve months. We plan to fund our operations through any combination of equity or debt financing from the sale of our securities, private loans, joint ventures or through the sale of part interest in our mineral properties. Although we have succeeded in raising funds as we needed them, we cannot assure you that this will continue in the future.  Many things, such as the continued general downturn, worldwide, of the economy or a significant decrease in the price of minerals, could affect the willingness of potential investors to invest in risky ventures such as ours. In addition to our Option Agreement with Geoactiva, we may consider entering into a joint venture partnership with other resource companies to complete a mineral exploration program on other properties in Chile. If we enter into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in our mineral claims to our joint venture partner in exchange for the funding.

 

Investments in and expenditures on mineral interests

 

Realization of our investments in mineral properties depends upon our maintaining legal ownership, producing from the properties or gainfully disposing of them.

 

Title to mineral claims involves risks inherent in the difficulties of determining the validity of claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral claims. Our contracts and deeds have been notarized, recorded in the registry of mines and published in the mining bulletin. We review the mining bulletin regularly to discover whether other parties have staked claims over our ground. We have discovered no such claims. To the best of our knowledge, we have taken the steps necessary to ensure that we have good title to our mineral claims.

 

Foreign exchange

 

We are subject to foreign exchange risk for transactions denominated in foreign currencies.  Foreign currency risk arises from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates relative to the United States dollar.  We do not believe that we have any material risk due to foreign currency exchange.

 

Trends, events or uncertainties that may impact results of operations or liquidity

 

The economic crisis in the United States and the resulting economic uncertainty and market instability may make it harder for us to raise capital as and when we need it and have made it difficult for us to assess the impact of the crisis on our operations or liquidity and to determine if the prices we will receive on the sale of minerals will exceed the cost of mineral exploitation.  If we are unable to raise cash, we may be required to cease our operations.  Other than as discussed in this report, we know of no other trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our short-term or long-term liquidity.

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements and no non-consolidated, special-purpose entities.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain of the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. The most significant estimates with regard to these financial statements relate to carrying values of unproved mineral properties, determination of fair values of stock-based transactions, and deferred income tax rates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior-period amounts in the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated results of operations or financial position for any period presented.

  

Financial instruments

 

Our financial instruments include cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, accrued professional fees and accrued mineral property costs. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to their short maturities.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

 

We have reviewed recently issued accounting pronouncements and plan to adopt those that are applicable to us. We do not expect the adoption of these pronouncements to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
