PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Corporate Organization

We were incorporated on January 5, 2004 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Effective January 21, 2009, we effected a five for one stock split of our common stock and increased our authorized capital to 500,000,000 shares of common stock having a $0.001 par value. On February 14, 2012, the Company changed its name from Douglas Lake Minerals Inc. to Handeni Gold Inc.

Our principal office is currently located at P.O. Box 33507, Plot 82A, ITV Road, Mikocheni Light Industrial Area, Dar es Salaam, the United Republic of Tanzania, with the phone number of +255 222 70 0084 and the fax number of +255 222 70 00 52. Our Canadian office is located at Suite 200, 5700 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON, Canada, M2M 4K2, with the telephone number of 647-560-5548.

General

Handeni Gold Inc. is an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Our principal area of focus is the Handeni Gold Project located in the Handeni district, within the Tanga region of the Republic of Tanzania in East Africa, in which we have interests in mineral claims through prospecting licenses (“PLs”) and/or primary mining licenses (“PMLs”) issued by the government of the Republic of Tanzania.

None of our mineral claims contain any substantiated mineral deposits, resources or reserves of minerals to date. Exploration, including drilling of more than 10,000 meter of core, has been carried out on these claims, in particular the 4 PLs in the Handeni District. Accordingly, additional exploration of these mineral claims is required before any conclusion can be drawn as to whether any commercially viable mineral deposit may exist on any of our mineral claims. Our plan of operations is to continue exploration and drilling work in order to ascertain whether our mineral claims warrant further advanced exploration to determine whether they possess commercially exploitable deposits of minerals. We will not be able to determine whether or not any of our mineral claims contain a commercially exploitable mineral deposit, resource or reserve, until appropriate exploratory work has been completed and an economic evaluation based on that work concludes economic viability.

We are considered an exploration or exploratory stage company, because we are involved in the examination and investigation of land that we believe may contain valuable minerals, for the purpose of discovering the presence of ore, if any, and its extent. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the properties underlying our mineral claim interests, and considerable further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility for our future exploration is determined.

Our Mineral Claims

Handeni District Gold Project

Location and Access

The Handeni Gold properties lie within the historic Handeni artisanal gold mining district, located in Tanga Province, roughly 175 km northwest of Tanzania’s largest city, Dar Es Salaam, and 100 km southwest of the more northerly coastal city of Tanga (Fig. 1). The road from Dar Es Salaam to Tanga is paved; the secondary road that heads northwest from this road to the town of Handeni, a distance of 65 km, has recently been paved. The Handeni property is located roughly 35 km south of the town of Handeni along a secondary gravel road. From this point, a number of dirt roads head south across various portions of the Handeni property and beyond. Driving time from Dar Es Salaam to the Handeni Gold properties is approximately five hours, depending on traffic and the weather.

Primary Mining Licenses (PMLs)

On November 30, 2011, the Company acquired from Handeni Resources a 100% interest in primary mining licenses covering an area of approximately 2.67 square kilometers to the east of Magambazi Hill (Figs. 2 and 3). To comply with the laws and regulations of the Republic of Tanzania whereby foreign companies may not own PMLs, on July 19, 2012, the Company:

  (1)

entered into an Addendum agreement to the 2011 Acquisition Agreement whereby Handeni Resources will administer the 32 PMLs until such time as a mining license (“ML”) on the 32 PMLs (2.67 km2) have been allocated; and

4



  (2)

during this period Handeni Resources will be conducting exploration and mining activities on the PMLs as directed by the Company.

An enlargement of the “excluded area” as delineated on Fig. 2 is presented below (Fig. 3). An area within the outline of the 32 PML’s without a PML number (Fig. 3) has now been confirmed to be part of PL6743/2010. The block of 32 PMLs, shown in grey below, belongs to the Company as described above and are being explored


Fig. 3: Exclusion areas within PL6743/2010. Note area in white within PML’s is part of PL6743/2010.

West of the western border of PL 6743/2010 are several more PMLs that do not belong to the Company. The area colored in green (Fig. 3) is a unitized block of four PMLs that were apparently acquired by Canaco Resources Inc. (“CRI”) (now East Africa Metals Inc.) from their owners.

Handeni District Project

We obtained a Technical Report on the Handeni Property (the “Handeni Report”), dated April 25, 2011, as prepared at our request by Avrom E. Howard, MSc, FGA, PGeol (Ontario), Principal Consultant at Nebu Consulting LLC. Mr. Howard is a Qualified Person in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 “Standards for Disclosure of Mineral Projects” and its Companion Policy (collectively, “NI 43-101”) and is a Practicing Professional Geologist registered with the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario (registration number 0380).

Subsequent to the publishing of the April 25, 2011 NI 43-101 report by Mr. Howard, the Company produced numerous in-house technical reports and is in the process of compiling an updated NI 43-101 report that will include the updated model for mineralization on our Handeni property. The drilling conducted by the Company was done implementing and following Quality Control and Quality Assessment procedures recommended by SRK (Stephen, Robertson and Kirsten).

Property Description

General

Mining in Tanzania in the modern era dates back over one hundred years, first under German colonial rule and then under British control under whose authority mining and other activities continued and expanded. Beginning in the 1990s, in line with many other developing countries around the world, the Tanzanian government instituted several reforms to move towards a free market economy, privatize the mining industry and encourage both domestic and foreign investment in all economic sectors. In the case of the mining industry, this was supplemented, in 1998, through the passage of a new, more industry-friendly mining code. This code has been streamlined under the Mining Act of 1998 (revised 2010) (the “Mining Act”) currently controlling exploration, mining and related activities in the country.

Tanzania is Africa’s fourth leading gold producer, with several major companies producing and exploring for gold, mostly in northwestern Tanzania, south of Lake Victoria, in an area informally known as the Lake Victoria gold belt.

The Handeni Property

Gold has been known in the Handeni area for many years with some attributing its discovery to the Germans prior to World War One; however, it was the increase in gold prices and consequent increase in artisanal gold mining activity in the Handeni area that led to the discovery of deposits of placer gold, in turn leading in 2003 to a classic gold rush. The discovery and mining of lode deposits followed, soon after, along with the growth of a shanty mining town at the northern base of Magambazi Hill.

Between 2005 and 2010, IPP Gold carried out exploration over its PLR leading to the upgrading of its holdings from one PLR to four PL’s of 800 km2, in August 2010. Exploration work included airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, ground magnetic surveys, reconnaissance geological mapping, soil sampling, pitting and trenching. It is these four PLs that were acquired by the Company from IPP Gold under a September 2010 agreement.

Geological Setting

Regional Geology

Regional geological mapping programs led to the recognition of several major litho-structural provinces from Archean to recent age in Tanzania. The Archean craton covers most of the western two thirds of the country, roughly bounded to the east by the East African Rift. Archean rocks host all of the country’s kimberlite pipes and contained lode diamond deposits, and most of its lode gold deposits. The Archean basement terrain is bounded to the east and west by a series of Proterozoic mobile belts; this area, particularly that to the east, hosts most of the country’s wide variety of colored gemstone deposits. Some recent research suggests that portions of this assumed Proterozoic terrane may actually consist of Archean crust that has undergone a later phase of higher grade metamorphism.

The Handeni district forms part of the Tanzanian Mozambique belt. The belt was subjected to four tectonothermal events at 830-800Ma, ~760Ma, 630-580Ma and 560-520Ma. All except the last attained upper amphibolites / granulite grade.

Property Geology

The Handeni area is situated in the Palaeoproterozoic Usugaran/Ubendian Metamorphic Terrane of Tanzania, along the northern extension of the north–trending Proterozoic Mozambique Mobile Belt.

The geology of the Handeni area comprises amphibolite to granulite facies metamorphic rocks interpreted to originally have formed a sequence of ultramafic to felsic volcanic flows, black shales and quartz-bearing sedimentary rocks. It is furthermore interpreted to comprise a metamorphosed/overprinted eastern extension/remnant of the Lake Victoria cratonic greenstone belt. High grade metamorphism has converted these original lithologies to a variety of metamorphic equivalents, including biotite-hornblende-garnet-pyroxene gneiss, migmatitic augen garnet- hornblende-pyroxene gneiss, quartzo-feldspathic hornblende-biotite-pyroxene gneiss, pyroxene-hornblende-biotite-garnet granulite and others.

Recent research by geologists from the University of Western Australia suggests that much of what has previously been considered to be of Proterozic age (Usagaran System) may in fact be overprinted Archean crust. This hypothesis has been invoked to help interpret the geology within which gold in this area is found and as the basis for an analogy between this gold mineralization and that found in less metamorphosed, bona fide Archean rocks in the Lake Victoria gold district, a few hundred km to the northwest. However, this is a hypothesis, only, one that may be used for exploration modeling purposes but one that still requires more work.

Mineralization

The Handeni property is at an early stage of exploration. There are no known mineral resources or reserves on the Handeni property, nor are there any known economically mineable deposits on the property. Gold is found within garnet-amphibolite zones within biotite-feldspar gneiss at three k n o w n locations in the Company’s property, locations where historical lode gold occurrences have been documented. Gold occurs in quartz veins as well as within the garnet amphibolites adjacent to the quartz veins. Proof of this association is informally corroborated by the testimony of local, illegal artisanal miners, who recover gold both from quartz veins and gold-bearing gneiss that is not quartz vein bearing. Gold in the Company’s property has also been documented in soils and placers, at a variety of locations, as well.

Our geophysical and structural geological interpretation on which the drilling program conducted in 2012 was based, supported the mineralization model described above in broad terms.

Whereas gold was known in the Handeni area prior to the arrival in 2005 of the Company’s predecessor, IPP Gold, there is no history of any formal exploration in the area aside from limited work at Magambazi Hill itself and the work conducted in recent years by Canaco (East African Metals) in the region

The foundation for modern exploration activities on the Company’s properties were laid by the exploration work conducted by IPP. Their initial work consisted of soil sampling and a ground magnetic survey over an area of 200 square kilometers covering the area now located within PL6743/2010 immediately east of Magambazi Hill. Over the five years that ensued, this was followed by a series of exploration campaigns involving a variety of exploration methods, in turn followed by interpretation and further work in an iterative fashion. Notable programs during this period included a fixed – wing airborne Magnetic and Radiometric Survey, a ground magnetic survey, geological mapping and structural interpretation as well as several large soil sampling and geochemical surveys.

Handeni Gold’s intensive early exploration program following the Company’s September 2010 agreement with IPP achieved the following in terms of mineralization on the properties:

It outlined a number of locations where intensive placer and illegal artisanal gold mining took place within the Handeni property, notably the Kwandege, Magambazi and Mjembe areas.

 

Processed airborne magnetic and radiometric data have delineated linear features that have been interpreted to represent a variety of structures such as shears, thrust faults and cross faults, which undoubtedly influences the location of gold mineralized zones in the properties.

 

Soil geochemical surveying, carried out across some of these interpreted northwest-southeast trending structural features, has revealed several locations hosting anomalous gold in soils.

 

Gold appeared to be further concentrated at the intersection between the northwest-southeast trending structural features and northeast-southwest trending structural features, interpreted to represent later cross faults.

6



These associations suggest a relationship between structures and gold, which provided a basis upon which additional areas within the Handeni property are selected for more detailed gold exploration.

Exploration conducted during the fiscal years 2011 to 2013

The foregoing exploration by IPP was used as a foundation and followed by:

A helicopter based TEM electromagnetic and radiometric aerial survey program was completed by FUGRO over the entire Company licence area (800 km2) at 200 meter spaced flight lines in a north-south direction. Electromagnetic (TEM) as well as radiometric data for K (Potassium), U (Uranium) and Th (Thorium), as well as total count was collected simultaneously for the 4740 line kilometres flown. Selected areas were flown at a line spacing of 100 meters. The interpreted data clearly delineated subsurface geological features of importance to gold and base metal mineralization in this high grade metamorphic terrain. The data proved to be invaluable in the definition of structurally important sites and target definition.

 

An intensive ground based geophysical program on the Magambazi East as well as the Kwandege target zones was completed. This data (combined with geochemical results) were used to create drill targets on the two selected areas, the results of which are reported below.

 

A multi-element soil geochemical program was completed on the Kwandege target delineating the extent of the mineralization zone and assisting the interpretation of the geophysical data to locate drill positions.

 

•  

A large soil sampling program of two targets in PL6743/2010 was initiated.

 

 

Twenty-eight (28) diamond core holes (5,347 meters) were drilled on the Magambazi East and related targets and delineated a gold enriched mineralization zone extending for a distance of approximately 500 meters to the south east of the Magambazi Hill mineralization as defined by CRI.

   

Evaluation of the economic potential of the three mineralization zones will only be possible with closely spaced directional drilling to follow out the mineralization. We evaluated the Magambazi East project based on an interpretation of the available drill core and detailed mapping. Based on this information and our model of the mineralization at Magambazi East we are now convinced that the gold potential of this target may be proven or disproven with drilling of 5 directional drill holes.

   

Thirty-seven (37) drill holes (4,989 meters in total) have been drilled on the Kwandege mineralized zone, completing the first phase drilling program on this project. Twenty-six of the 32 drill holes on the main Kwandege target yielded gold assay values of more than 0.5 g/t over a one-meter interval or thicker intersection, whereas four of the remaining holes had anomalous gold values of up to 0.49 g/t. An important feature of the Kwandege target is the fact that low level gold values (0.5 g/t to 1 g/t) were encountered in numerous intersections in the drill holes and also confirmed by the latest assay results. Anomalous gold with some potentially economic intersections have been encountered in an E - W (strike) direction of 1,501 meters (based on the results of the completed phase 1 drilling program). The open ended nature of the mineralization in an E-W direction was confirmed.


The results of the soil sampling program on Target 5 yielded gold in soil values of up to 200 ppb. Au (gold) assay results received for 2331 samples coincides with a magnetic and electro-magnetic geophysical anomaly on surface over an area of approximately 1.8 km (N-S) by 900 m (E-W). The evaluation of this target is to be continued by pitting, trenching and ground IP.

Exploration conducted during the fiscal year 2014:

During this period, we achieved the following:

collected a total of 5,050 soil samples (including blanks and standards) from targets in PL6743 that were analyzed by XRF and submitted to assay laboratories for gold analyses.

 

A soil sampling program on Target 6 (in collaboration with the Tanzania Geological Survey) was completed. Of a total of 2,756 soil samples collected on an area of approximately 16 km2, 935 were analysed by XRF. The results were not highly encouraging and this target did not receive priority status.

 

An area to the east of Magambazi hill was selected as a first target and pilot study area to test the gold distribution in various secondary geological regimes in the Handeni terrain. The following conclusions were drawn from the alluvial program:


  a)

The fluvial environment has the largest potential for the extraction of coarse grained gold.

     
  b)

A large proportion of gold is contained as fine grained gold. This conclusion was based on the fact that geochemically analyzed samples of the same locations as the bulk sampled areas yielded significantly higher gold values.

     
  c)

Some specific horizons in the fluvial horizon yield higher values than others.

     
  d)

Allowing for a mere 50% efficiency of the applied processes and the overburden, the grade as well as consistency of gold on this target indicated that it is not economically mineable as an alluvial mining program.

Plans to investigate the alluvial potential of the area surrounding the Kwandege project anomaly as well as several other alluvial targets identified using airborne techniques did not progress due to lack of funding and the resulting shortage of personnel to conduct the program.

completed the geophysical evaluation of our four PLs, subsequently reduced in size to eight PL’s covering approximately 423 km2.

•  

completed a detailed structural investigation into structural controls on gold mineralization on our prospecting licenses.

 

 

•  

completed a ground geophysics investigation on the Mjembe target to the southeast of Magambazi.

 

 

Completed our evaluation process of the application of XRF to identify soil samples with a high likelihood to contain anomalous gold values, proving to be highly successful on the Mjembe target. Following the success of the XRF program described above, the Company embarked on the evaluation of XRF applications to its Magambazi and Kwandege drill core. The aim of the program is to:


  a)

Identify more potential gold bearing intersections in the core than that was previously analyzed.

     
  b)

Combine the results of the soil sample XRF results with the drill core results to further refine our XRF applications to our exploration program.


Completed a detailed structural interpretation of the Kwandege target with the aim of completion the final recommendations for the further drilling of this target.

 

Submitted 84 samples for gold assay as a pilot investigation on one of the targets on PL6743/2010. In combination with the large amount of XRF results conducted on this target the soil sampling method will be adapted to yield the best possible results in the Handeni district.

 

Completed mapping and lithogeochemical sampling on Target 5 and submitted samples for gold assays. This remains a target with high potential based on the results of the lithogeochemical gold assays and soil sample results combined with the geophysics.

 

Completed a detailed geological map, a preliminary structural interpretation, a ground magnetic survey as well as detailed soil sampling and XRF analyses on our Mjembe target. The results defined a significant potential gold mineralization zone with a high correlation between geochemical, structural and geophysical data. Mjembe will be the Company’s primary target during the 2014/2015 field season.

 

•  

Initiated mapping programs on Target 8 which was subsequently completed.

 

An extensive soil sampling program and ground magnetic survey on the Mjembe target has been completed. Mjembe is located on PL6744/2010 and is a known illegal artisanal mining site. The selected survey and sample area consisted of an approximately 23 km2 block. A total of 5,068 soil samples have been analysed for a suite of major and trace elements by desk top Energy Dispersive XRF. Preliminary interpretation suggests that the Mjembe anomalous area represents a target within a plunging sheeth fold on a scale of 10 km by 3.5 km. The geophysics indicates the continuation of this structure in depth to the east of the surface geochemical anomaly. Exploration on each of the anomalies within this structure will now focus on more detailed ground geophysics and mapping to be able to prepare drill targets within the larger Mjembe target area.

 

Completed mapping and soil sampling programs on target 15 along 47 km line traverses and collected 932 soil samples. XRF analyses on soil samples completed. Selected samples submitted for Au assays.

 

Initiated and completed mapping programs on Target 10 and completed a preliminary soil sampling program on this target (673 samples). XRF analyses were completed and samples selected for Au assays.

 

•  

Initiated and completed mapping programs on target 16 and planning of soil sampling program.

Exploration conducted during the fiscal year 2015:

The Company now has 5 high potential drill targets of the 17 areas investigated in detail on its approximately 423 km2 license areas in the Handeni district. Significant anomalous results have been achieved on 3 additional targets.

 

In addition to the geological and geophysical maps produced using remote sensing techniques, a total of 143 km2 (35%) of the license area has been mapped in detail (1:2500 and 1:5000 scale). To date, a total of 37,153 drill and soil samples were taken of which 16,212 were assayed for gold and 19,992 by XRF.

 

Target 5 is now a fully fledged drill target based on the geochemistry and geophysics results obtained. Grab samples on this target yielded a maximum of 3.12 g/t of gold.

 

Nine hundred and thirty five (935) soil samples collected on Target 6 have been analysed by XRF. The results are discouraging and this target did not receive priority status.

 

Exploration on Target 7 (Mjembe) was highly successful and 3 potential drill sites have been delineated within the larger Mjembe target area. The Company is experiencing serious interference and illegal mining activities on all of its Mjembe targets which pose a serious restriction on our exploration activities and the future of our exploration on this target as reported under “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Company”.

 

Target 8 has been mapped in detail covering an area of approximately 36 km2. The Company is currently evaluating this target for selection of a soil sampling and potential detail geophysics program. The outcome of this will be based on prioritizing this area in relation to the Gole structure program as discussed below.

 

Target 10 has been mapped in detail and 674 soil samples taken of which 149 were selected based on our XRF screening technique. Although some elevated gold values were obtained the Company will follow this area up utilizing a newly developed assay technique developed and successfully applied to target 16 as reported below. Due to a lack of funding we cannot immediately embark on this planned work.

8



Mapping and XRF analyses on 793 samples from Target 15 (Dolly) have been completed. Mineralization and structural features on this anomaly show many similarities with that of Magambazi hill.

 

Geological mapping on target 16 has been completed and a preliminary 1,923 soil samples taken. Of these 20 high priority samples were selected for evaluation of a specialized technique designed to detect gold anomalies in geological terrains with a complex gold in soil distribution profile. The results were highly encouraging and values of up to 8 g/t in soils were obtained. The Company will undoubtedly apply this technique to some selected other targets as funding becomes available.

 

Detail geological mapping on the Gole sheath fold, a structural feature of 11 km by 4.5 km (Targets 12, 13, 14 and 17), have commenced and is continuing. Potential gold bearing amphibolite zones have been identified, which will be the focus of further investigation.

 

Further detailed mapping was conducted on Target 16. This was followed by gold assays using specialized geochemical techniques to test the potential of increasing the effectivity of the Company’s soil sampling program. The results were highly successful and the Company will implement this technique on Target 10 when funds become available.

Compliance with Government Regulation

We are subject to local laws and regulation governing the exploration, development, mining, production, importing and exporting of minerals; taxes; labor standards; occupational health; waste disposal; protection of the environment; mine safety; toxic substances; and other matters. We require licenses and permits to conduct exploration and mining operations. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining companies or more stringent implementation thereof could have a material adverse impact on our Company. Applicable laws and regulations will require us to make certain capital and operating expenditures to initiate new operations. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to close an operation once it is started until a particular problem is remedied or to undertake other remedial actions. This would have a material adverse effect on our results and financial condition.

Four of our mineral interests in Tanzania are currently held under PLs granted pursuant to the Mining Act for an initial period of three years and are renewable in two successive periods of two years only. The remaining four PL’s are being held under the 2010 Mining Act and are valid for an initial period of 4 years (the initial period expiring in 2018 (Table 2)). Following this the first renewal is for 3 years and the second renewal for 2 years, each renewal accompanied by a mandatory relinquishment of at least 50% of the license area. The application fees are $300 on initial application and $300 for each renewal. There is a preparation fee of $500 applicable on each license. The annual rent for the licenses are $100/km2 (initial period), $150/km2 (1st renewal) and $200/km2 (2nd renewal).

9


All PLs in Tanzania require the holder to employ and train local residents, typically amounting to $5,000 per year, and make exploration expenditures, as set out in the Mining Act. At each renewal, at least 50% of our licensed area must be relinquished. If we wish to keep the relinquished one-half portion, we must file a new application for the relinquished portion.

The geographical area covered by a PL may contain one or more previously granted PML’s. A PML is a mining license granted only to a Tanzanian citizen consisting of an area of not to exceed 10 hectares. Once a PL is granted, no additional PMLs can be granted within the geographical area covered by the PL. The PL is subject to the rights of previously granted and existing PMLs. The holder of a PL will have to work around the geographical area of the PML unless the PL holder acquires the PML and any rights to the land covered by the PML.

We must hold a mining license to carry out mining activities, which are granted only to the holder of a PL covering a particular area. A mining license is granted for a period of 25 years or the life of the mine. It is renewable after 10 years for a period not exceeding 15 years. Other than the PMLs being held under Handeni Resources, we do not hold any mining licenses, only PL’s. An application for the 32 PMLs being held under agreement by Handeni Resources to be changed into a mining license (ML) is underway. Prospecting and mining license holders must submit regular reports in accordance with mining regulations. Upon commercial production, the government of Tanzania imposes a royalty on the gross value of all production at the rate of 3% of all gold produced. The applicable regulatory body in Tanzania is the Ministry of Energy and Minerals.

In July 1999, environmental management and protection regulations under the Mining Act came into force. An environmental impact statement and an environmental management plan must accompany special mining license, mining license and gemstone mining license applications for mineral rights. In addition to the establishment of environmental regulations, the Tanzanian government has improved management procedures for effective monitoring and enforcement of these regulations by strengthening the institutional capacity, especially in the field offices. The government has provided rules for the creation of reclamation funds to reinstate land to alternative uses after mining and it has developed guidelines for mining in restricted areas, such as forest reserves, national parks, near sources of water and other designated areas. These regulations have not had any material effect on our operations to date.

Competition

We operate in a highly competitive industry, competing with other mining and exploration companies, and institutional and individual investors, which are actively seeking minerals exploration properties throughout the world together with the equipment, labour and materials required to exploit such properties. Many of our competitors have financial resources, staff and facilities substantially greater than ours. The principal area of competition is encountered in the financial ability to cost effectively acquire prime minerals exploration prospects and then exploit such prospects. Competition for the acquisition of minerals exploration properties is intense, with many properties available in a competitive bidding process in which we may lack technological information or expertise available to other bidders. Therefore, we may not be successful in acquiring, exploring and developing profitable properties in the face of this competition. No assurance can be given that a sufficient number of suitable minerals exploration properties will be available for acquisition, exploration and development.

Employees

Other than our directors and executive officers, we had approximate four full-time equivalent employees and consultants as of May 31, 2015 located in Tanzania. We also utilize independent geologists and consultants on a contract basis to conduct the work programs on our mineral properties in order to carry out our plan of operations.

Research and Development Expenditures

We have not incurred any research or development expenditures since our incorporation.

Subsidiaries

The Company has two subsidiaries, both of which are Tanzanian companies: (i) HG Limited (formerly DLM Tanzania Limited); and (ii) Douglas Lake Tanzania Limited, which is inactive.

Patents and Trademarks

We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

An investment in a company engaged in mineral exploration involves an unusually high amount of risk, both unknown and known, present and potential, including, but not limited to the risks enumerated below. An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this annual report in evaluating our Company and its business before purchasing shares of our common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed or cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements due to any of the following risks. The risks described below may not be all of the risks facing our Company. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial may also impair our business operations and we cannot assure you that we will successfully address these risks or other unknown risks that may affect our business. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

Risks Related to Our Company

We have incurred net losses since our inception and expect losses to continue.

We have not been profitable since our inception. For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015, we had a net loss of $1,165,962. Since our inception on January 5, 2004 to May 31, 2015, we had an accumulated net loss of $117,108,249. We have not generated revenues from operations and do not expect to generate revenues from operations unless and until we are able to bring a mineral property into production. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of our properties may not result in discoveries of commercially recoverable mineral reserves. There is a risk that we may never bring a mineral property into production that our operations will not be profitable in the future and you could lose your entire investment.

We may not be able to continue as a going concern if we do not obtain additional financing or attain profitable operations. Our independent accountants’ audit report states that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon attaining profitable operations and obtaining sufficient financing to meet obligations and continue exploration and development activities. We have incurred only losses since our inception. Whether and when the Company can attain profitability is uncertain. These uncertainties cast significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as going concern, because we will be required to obtain additional funds in the future to continue our operations and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain such funds, through equity or debt financing, or any combination thereof, or we are able to raise additional funds, that such funds will be in the amounts required or on terms favourable to us.

Our exploration activities are highly speculative and involve substantial risks.

The mineral properties that we held interests in during our year ended May 31, 2015 are in the exploration stage and no proven mineral reserves have been established. Our exploration work may not result in the discovery of mineable deposits of ore in a commercially economical manner. There may be limited availability of water, which is essential to mining operations, and interruptions may be caused by adverse weather conditions. Our operations are subject to a variety of existing laws and regulations relating to exploration and development, permitting procedures, safety precautions, property reclamation, employee health and safety, air quality standards, pollution and other environmental protection controls. Our exploration activities are subject to substantial hazards, some of which are not insurable or may not be insured for economic reasons. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our results and financial condition.

We cannot accurately predict whether commercial quantities of ores will be established.

Whether an ore body will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors beyond our control, including the particular attributes of the deposit such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, as well as mineral prices and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. We cannot predict the exact effect of these factors, but the combination of these factors may result in a mineral deposit being unprofitable which would have a material adverse effect on our business. We have no mineral producing properties at this time. We have not defined or delineated any proven or probable reserves or resources on any of our properties to date.

We may not be able to establish the presence of minerals on a commercially viable basis.

Substantial expenditures will be required to develop the exploration infrastructure at any site chosen for exploration, to establish ore reserves through drilling, to carry out environmental and social impact assessments, and to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore. We may not be able to discover minerals in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operation, and we may not be able to obtain funds required for exploration on a timely basis. Accordingly, you could lose your entire investment.

We will need to incur substantial expenditures in an attempt to establish the economic feasibility of mining operations by identifying mineral deposits and establishing ore reserves through drilling and other techniques, developing metallurgical processes to extract metals from ore, designing facilities and planning mining operations. The economic feasibility of a project depends on numerous factors beyond our control, including the cost of mining and production facilities required to extract the desired minerals, the total mineral deposits that can be mined using a given facility, the proximity of the mineral deposits to a user of the minerals, and the market price of the minerals at the time of sale. Our existing or future exploration programs or acquisitions may not result in the identification of deposits that can be mined profitably and you could lose your entire investment.

Our competition is intense in all phase of our business.

We operate in a highly competitive industry, competing with other mining and exploration companies, and institutional and individual investors, which are actively seeking minerals exploration properties throughout the world together with the equipment, labour and materials required to exploit such properties. Many of our competitors have financial resources, staff and facilities substantially greater than ours. The principal area of competition is encountered in the financial ability to cost effectively acquire prime minerals exploration prospects and then exploit such prospects. Competition for the acquisition of minerals exploration properties is intense, with many properties available in a competitive bidding process in which we may lack technological information or expertise available to other bidders. Therefore, we may not be successful in acquiring, exploring and developing profitable properties in the face of this competition. No assurance can be given that a sufficient number of suitable minerals exploration properties will be available for acquisition, exploration and development.

11


Our exploration activities are subject to various local laws and regulations

We are subject to local laws and regulation governing the exploration, development, mining, production, importing and exporting of minerals; taxes; labor standards; occupational health; waste disposal; protection of the environment; mine safety; toxic substances; and other matters. We require licenses and permits to conduct exploration and mining operations. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mining companies or more stringent implementation thereof could have a material adverse impact on our Company. Applicable laws and regulations will require us to make certain capital and operating expenditures to initiate new operations. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to close an operation once it is started until a particular problem is remedied or to undertake other remedial actions. This would have a material adverse effect on our results and financial condition.

We have uninsurable risks.

We may be subject to unforeseen hazards such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions. We may become subject to liability for pollution, cave-ins or 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.

Exploration activities, including test mining and operating activities are inherently hazardous.

Mineral exploration activities, including test mining activities, involve many risks that even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome.

Operations that we undertake will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, test mining and recovery of gold and other metals, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage. The nature of these risks are such that liabilities might result in us being forced to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and business prospects.

We depend on key management personnel.

The success of our operations and activities is dependent to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities to attract and maintain qualified key management and technical personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense and we may not be able to attract and retain such personnel. We do not maintain key-man life insurance on any of our officers. A loss of any of them could adversely affect our business.

Our officers and directors may have potential conflicts of interest due to their responsibilities with other entities.

The officers and directors of the Company serve as officers and/or directors of other companies in the mining industry, which may create situations where the interests of the director or officer may become conflicted. The companies to which some of our officers and directors provide services may be potential competitors with the Company at some point in the future. The directors and officers owe the Company fiduciary duties with respect to any current or future conflicts of interest.

We may experience difficulty managing our anticipated growth.

We may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on our internal systems and controls. Our ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our operational and financial systems and to attract and retain qualified management and technical personnel to meet the needs of our anticipated growth. Our inability to deal with this growth could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We are subject to the volatility of metal and mineral prices.

The economics of developing metal and mineral properties are affected by many factors beyond our control including, without limitation, the cost of operations, variations in the grade ore or resource mined, and the price of such resources. The market prices of the metals for which we are exploring are highly speculative and volatile. Depending on the price of gold or other resources, we may determine that it is impractical to commence or continue commercial production. The price of gold has fluctuated widely in recent years. The price of gold and other metals and minerals may not remain stable, and such prices may not be at levels that will make it feasible to continue our exploration activities, or commence or continue commercial production.

We may not have clear title to our properties.

Acquisition of title to mineral properties is a very detailed and time-consuming process, and title to our properties may be affected by prior unregistered agreements or transfer, or undetected defects. Our prospecting licenses are subject to renewal by the Ministry of Energy and Minerals of Tanzania. There is a risk that we may not have clear title to all our mineral property interests, or they may be subject to challenge or impugned in the future, which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are currently experiencing an unprecedented influx of illegal artisanal activity on our Kwandege target area as well as (particularly) on several high priority targets on our larger Mjembe target area. We have lodged formal complaints on several occasions to local, regional and central government authorities including the Commissioner of Energy and Minerals at the Ministry of Energy and Minerals. To date, we have had little success with the removal of the illegal artisanal miners from our target areas. Despite our having clearly defined rights and there being no dispute that the activities of the artisanal miners are illegal, the political will to address the issue seems to be lacking. We see this as a serious threat to our on-going activities in Tanzania.

12


Our mineral property interests may be subject to other mining licenses.

Local residents in Tanzania may have registered the right to mine in small areas located within a prospecting license; such rights are evidenced by a mining license. There can be no guarantee that we will be successful in negotiating with mining license owners to acquire their rights if we determine that we need their permission to drill or mine on the land covered by such mining licenses.

We have requirements for and there is an uncertainty of access to additional capital.

At May 31, 2015, we had cash of $85,985 and a working capital deficiency of $382,358. We will continue to incur exploration costs to fund our plan of operations and intend to fund our plan of operations from working capital, equity subscriptions and debt financing. Ultimately, our ability to continue our exploration activities depends in part on our ability to commence operations and generate revenues or to obtain financing through joint ventures, debt financing, equity financing, production sharing agreements or some combination of these or other means. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such financing.

We have no cash flow from operations and depend on equity financing for our operations.

Our current operations do not generate any cash flow. Any work on our properties may require additional equity financing. If we seek funding from existing or new joint venture partners, our project interests will be diluted. If we seek additional equity financing, the issuance of additional shares will dilute the current interests of our shareholders. We may not be able to obtain additional funding to allow us to fulfill our obligations on our existing exploration property or any future exploration properties. Our failure to obtain such additional financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and the possible partial or total loss of our potential interest in certain properties or dilution of our interest in certain properties which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our directors and officers are indemnified for any monies they pay in settlement of actions performed while a director or officer.

Sections 78.7502 and 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes provide for indemnification of our officers and directors in certain situations where they might otherwise personally incur liability, judgments, penalties, fines and expenses in connection with a proceeding or lawsuit to which they might become parties because of their position with our Company. We have authorized the indemnification of our officers and directors to the full extent available under the Nevada Revised Statutes.

Risks related to government controls and regulations

We are subject to complex federal, provincial, state, local and other laws, controls and regulations that could adversely affect the cost, manner and feasibility of conducting our operations.

Mineral exploration, production, marketing and transportation activities are subject to extensive controls and regulations imposed by various levels of government, which may be amended from time to time. Governments may regulate or intervene with respect to price, taxes, and the exportation. Regulations may be changed from time to time in response to economic or political conditions. The implementation of new regulations or the modification of existing regulations affecting the mining industry could increase our costs, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, in order to conduct operations, we require licenses from various governmental authorities. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain all of the licenses and permits that may be required to conduct operations that we may desire to undertake.

Our business activities are conducted in Tanzania.

Our mineral exploration activities in Tanzania may be affected in varying degrees by political stability and government regulations relating to the mining industry and foreign investment in that country. The government of Tanzania may institute regulatory policies that adversely affect the exploration and development (if any) of our properties. Any changes in regulations or shifts in political conditions in this country are beyond our control and may materially adversely affect our business. While the Company’s management will propose a measure to mitigate the effects, our operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, foreign exchange controls, income taxes, expropriation of property, environmental legislation and mine safety.

As a public company, our compliance costs and risks have increased in recent years.

Legal, accounting and other expenses associated with public company reporting requirements have increased significantly in the past few years. We anticipate that general and administrative costs associated with regulatory compliance will continue to increase with on-going compliance requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as any new rules implemented by the SEC in the future. These rules and regulations have significantly increased our legal and financial compliance costs and made some activities more time consuming and costly. We cannot assure you that we will effectively meet all of the requirements of these regulations, including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Any failure to effectively implement internal controls, or to resolve difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results, cause us to fail to meet reporting obligations, or result in our principal executive officer and principal financial officer being required to give a qualified assessment of our internal control over financial reporting. Any such result could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of our common stock and our ability to raise capital. These rules and regulations have made it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the future. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

13


Risks Related to Our Common Stock

The trading price of our common stock may be volatile.

The price of our common shares may increase or decrease in response to a number of events and factors, including: trends in the mineral sector in which we operate; changes in the market price of gold; current events affecting the global economic situation; changes in financial estimates; our acquisitions and financings; quarterly variations in our operating results; the operating and share price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable; and purchase or sale of blocks of our common shares. These factors, or any of them, may materially adversely affect the prices of our common shares regardless of our operating performance.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations.

A decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise additional capital for our operations. Because our operations to date have been principally financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could have an adverse effect upon our liquidity and our continued operations. A reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would have a material adverse effect upon our business plan and operations, including our ability to continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.

We could be required to rescind an offering of our shares.

On January 23, 2006, the Pennsylvania Securities Commission (“PSC”) issued an inquiry letter to our Company. The inquiry alleged that we offered and sold securities to investors without being in compliance with Regulation D and without registration. The PSC notified us that an acceptable course of action was for us to offer the Pennsylvania state residents an opportunity to rescind their investment with us. While the Pennsylvania state residents have rejected our offer to repurchase their shares, we do not plan to make the same offer to our other US investors, residents of California, or our British Columbia resident investors. If the investors invoke their rescission right or if any securities commission requires us to offer a right of rescission to the investors, we may have to refund the related funds.

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our common stock will be subject to the “Penny Stock” Rules of the SEC, which will make transactions in our common stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our common stock.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink, which is generally considered to be a less efficient market than markets such as NASDAQ or the national exchanges, and which may cause difficulty in conducting trades and difficulty in obtaining future financing. Further, our securities will be subject to the “penny stock rules” adopted pursuant to Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The penny stock rules apply generally to companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain limited exemptions. Such rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade “penny stock” to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade “penny stock” because of the requirements of the “penny stock rules” and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. In the event that we remain subject to the “penny stock rules” for any significant period, there may develop an adverse impact on the market, if any, for our securities. Because our securities are subject to the “penny stock rules”, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of our securities. Further, it is more difficult: (i) to obtain accurate quotations, (ii) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services, such as the Dow Jones News Service, generally do not publish press releases about such companies, and (iii) to obtain needed capital.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require a broker-dealer to have reasonable grounds for believing that an investment is suitable for a customer when recommending the investment to that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Except as disclosed below, management is not aware of any legal proceedings contemplated by any governmental authority or any other party involving us or our properties. As of the date of this report, no director, officer or affiliate is (i) a party adverse to us in any legal proceeding or (ii) has an adverse interest to us in any legal proceedings. Management is not aware of any other legal proceedings pending or that have been threatened against us or our properties.

On February 8, 2012, Ruby Creek Resources Inc. (“RCR”) filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Supreme Court, State of New York, in which RCR alleges that the Company participated in a fraudulent transfer of certain mineral property interests in Tanzania that RCR had the right to purchase pursuant to a series of agreements with the Company. The Company is of the view that such allegations were without merit and vigorously contested the action.

On February 23, 2012, the Company filed a lawsuit against RCR in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “British Columbia Action”), seeking relief for RCR’s breach of its payment obligations under the above-referenced agreements and seeking an order that RCR remove the U.S. restrictive legend from 4,000,000 RCR shares issued to the Company under the agreements.

In addition to the British Columbia Action, on May 21, 2012 in answering RCR’s claim in New York, the Company counterclaimed against RCR on the basis of the alleged breaches set out in the British Columbia Action (the “New York Counter Claim”). On November 19, 2012, the British Columbia Action was dismissed on the grounds that the Court in British Columbia did not have jurisdiction and further that the dismissal was without prejudice to either of the Company’s and RCR’s respective actions in New York against one another. This Order was granted by consent of both the Company and RCR.

On January 13, 2015, the Company and RCR reached a binding settlement regarding the above-referenced litigation. The settlement does not require any monetary payment by the Company to RCR. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company will turn over its interest in Ruby Creek Resources (Tanzania) Limited and has agreed to return to RCR the 4,000,000 shares of restricted RCR common stock previously issued to the Company. Both parties have agreed to dismiss their respective claims, with prejudice, and the litigation is now concluded. Although the Company has not yet received formal settlement documents from RCR as agreed, the settlement is binding and the litigation is concluded.

On October 25, 2012, Craig Alford filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Supreme Court of British Columbia for breach of an alleged employment agreement. Mr. Alford claims the agreement was for a term of three years, commencing on March 1, 2011, with a monthly salary of $12,500. Mr. Alford claims that the Company wrongfully terminated the agreement in October 2011 and is seeking judgment in the amount of $362,500. The Company is of the view that the allegation is without merit and intends to vigorously contest the action. On February 4, 2013 the Company filed its response to Mr. Alford’s claim with the Supreme Court of British Columbia.

Overview

The Company is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the United Republic of Tanzania, Africa, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, HG Limited (formerly: DLM Tanzania Limited), and Douglas Lake Tanzania Limited which is inactive. Over these years, the Company has built strong relationships with the Ministry of Mines, the Geological Survey of Tanzania, and other government agencies in Tanzania.

In the past five years, the Company has focused exclusively on its Handeni Gold Project located in Tanzania. The Company’s exploration activities conducted in the past two fiscal years were outlined under Item 1. Business – Our Mineral Claims, above.

Our exploration program and achievements during our fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 are highlighted as follows:

a)

The Company now has 5 high potential drill targets (1, 2, 5, 7 and 16) of the 17 areas investigated in detail on its approximately 423 km2 license areas in the Handeni district. Significant anomalous results have been achieved on 3 additional targets. We consider this a major achievement, specifically with reference to the Handeni terrane and complexity of gold occurrences in the district. We envisage drilling programs on each of these targets.

   
b)

Three (3) more targets (8, 10 and 15) have significant gold anomalies based on exploration conducted thus far. Progress in terms of soil sampling, detail ground geophysics, pitting, trenching and assaying on these are hampered by a lack of funding and the Company may need to re-evaluate its exploration program by relinquishing lower priority targets (such as those on the Gole structure) to focus on those on which anomalous gold have already been delineated.

   
c)

Targets 4 and 11 are considered lower priority, but work on them will continue as funds become available. The major effort for the time being on these areas will be focused on XRF analyses.

   
d)

Mapping and geophysics conducted thus far on the four (4) Gole targets (12, 13, 14 and 17) point towards the need for an intensive ground geophysics program followed by trenching and pitting over a large area. The Company is not currently in a position to fund thus and will, for the time being, focus its efforts on higher priority areas.

   
e)

We completed our evaluation process of the application of XRF to identify soil samples with a high likelihood to contain anomalous gold values based on the meticulous analyses of 19,992 soil samples. The Company was successful in delineating anomalous gold occurrences based on a combination of major and trace elements, thus pre-selecting samples to be submitted for gold assay. We have shown (specifically on Target 7) that this made can be applied very successfully in the Handeni region.

17



f)

We analysed a total of 7,426 drill core samples by XRF to evaluate the correlation (if any) between particular major and trace elements and Au anomalies in gold containing lithologies as well as hanging wall and footwall sequences. Due to a lack of funding and manpower this project is yet to be completed. We aim to have these results ready prior to commencing our next drilling phase.

   
g)

We completed the XRF analyses of 5,672 soil samples, standards and blanks of a 25km2 area within PL6743/2010, previously selected based on a geophysical anomaly. These samples will be treated statistically and those with a high likelihood of anomalous gold will be submitted for assays.

   
h)

We completed a detailed structural interpretation of the Kwandege target with the aim of completion the final recommendations for the further drilling of this target.

   
i)

We submitted 84 samples for gold assay as a pilot investigation on one of the targets on PL6743/2010. In combination with the large amount of XRF results conducted on this target the soil sampling method will be adapted to yield the best possible results in the Handeni district.

   
j)

We completed mapping and lithogeochemical sampling on Target 5 and submitted samples for gold assays. This remains a target with high potential based on the results of the lithogeochemical gold assays and soil sample results combined with the geophysics.

   
k)

We completed a detailed geological map, a preliminary structural interpretation, a ground magnetic survey as well as detailed soil sampling and XRF analyses on our Mjembe target. The results defined a significant potential gold mineralization zone with a high correlation between geochemical, structural and geophysical data. The success of the Company’s exploration program is illustrated by the high correlation between illegal artisanal mining activities and our anomalous areas. The illegal mining activity issue on the Mjembe targets are highlighted in this document under “Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Company”

   
l)

We envisage that we will dramatically reduce our ground holding in the Handeni district within the next few months to only retain areas of proven high value such as targets that will have drill status at that stage.

   
m)

During October 2014, the Company fulfilled the requirements for its licenses to be uploaded on the Topo Cadastral system of the Ministry of Minerals and Energy of Tanzania. This enables rigorous control and transparency of all aspects of licensing, reporting and renewal of properties.

Plan of Operations

Our plan of operations through our next fiscal year ending May 31, 2016 is to continue to focus on the exploration of our Handeni mineral property in Tanzania, and the budget for this plan requires approximately $0.6 million for our plan of the exploration work, $100,000 for mineral licenses fees and a minimum of $0.6 million for our general and administration expenses, professional and consulting fees and other operating expenses.

Handeni Gold Inc. has clearly identifiable goals for its exploration program in Tanzania:

a)

As previously reported the Company will focus on its regional target identification for the remainder of the fiscal year 2016 on the Gole 11 km by 4.5 km sheath fold, a feature with a combination of geological elements rendering it having high potential for gold mineralization based on experience in the district. This will conclude the Company’s regional target identification program in the Handeni area.

   
b)

Continue exploration on drill targets simultaneously with the completing of the regional program.

   
c)

Reduce the Company’s license holding in the Handeni district significantly by the end of the fiscal year 2016 to include only identified drill targets.

   
d)

Continue efforts to secure funding for drilling on drill targets.

Management believes that the Company is on its way to achieve these goals.

Illegal artisanal activity on the Company’s license areas is increasing. The Company is addressing this issue with responsible local and central government authorities. The Company will follow all available legal structures to protect its interests.

Other low cost exploration activities being conducted on a continuous basis on the Company’s Handeni licenses include:

a)

Identification of potential alluvial mining areas other than those currently known and being evaluated by utilizing remote sensing activities.

   
b)

A detailed interpretation of already collected geophysical data, specifically aimed at Target 8 and the Mjembe target.

   
c)

A petrological, geochemical and mineralogical investigation of the Kwandege drill core to understand the style of gold mineralization at this locality.

   
d)

The planning and siting of drill holes as a follow up Reverse Circulation program to evaluate the near – surface potential of the Kwandege target.

The estimated budget for the completion of these exploration programs is provided below:

18



EXPLORATION WORK BUDGET (US$)
Ground Geophysics 10,000
Mapping, trenching, sampling, etc. 20,000
Drilling 350,000
Geologists, field personnel and general exploration 150,000
Sundry & contingencies 50,000
TOTAL $580,000

At May 31, 2015, we had cash of $86,000 but a working capital deficit of $382,000. In addition, we have a total of $285,000 funds available to be withdrawn pursuant to a facility agreement with a related party. As such, we estimated that we will still need a minimum of $1.4 million additional funds in order to cover our planned operations over the next twelve months ending May 31, 2016. Our actual expenditures may exceed our estimations.

We anticipate that we will not generate any revenues for so long as we are an exploration stage company. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to pursue our plan of operations.

We believe that external debt financing will not be an alternative for funding our next fiscal year exploration, as we do not have significant tangible assets to secure any debt financing. Therefore, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock and/or related parties debt financing. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing to fund our acquisition and exploration program going forward. In the absence of sufficient funding, we will not be able to continue acquisition and exploration of mineral claims and we will be forced to abandon our mineral claims and our plan of operations. Even if we are successful in obtaining financing to fund our acquisition and exploration program, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of any mineral claims.

Results of Operations

During the year ended May 31, 2015, we spent approximately $214,000 (2014 - $222,000) cash on exploration, annual property rental and licenses renewal fees. We were not able to make further expenditures with respect to our 2015 plan of operations due to our funding limitation. During the year ended May 31, 2015, we also spent approximately $543,000 (2014 - $799,000) cash expenditures on other operating expenses.

We have had no operating revenues since our inception (January 5, 2004) to May 31, 2015. The following table sets out our losses for the periods indicated:

Year Ended May 31, 2015 Compared to Year Ended May 31, 2014

Our net loss for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 was $1,166,000, compared to $2,294,000 for the same period ended May 31, 2014, mainly due to $160,000 (2014 - $1,000,000) loss and permanent impairment of marketable securities and the changes in operating expenses set forth below.

Our operating expenses for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 decreased by $256,000 to $1,041,000 from $1,297,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, as follows:

19



our consulting, general and administrative fees decreased by $87,000 to $460,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 (2014 - $547,000), primarily due to decreased independent directors’ fees, fewer employees and consultants, and continuing cost management; At May 31, 2015, approximately $455,000 (2014 - $278,000) of general and administrative fees remained as payables due to related parties;

depreciation decreased by $135,000 to $54,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 (2014 - $189,000) mainly due to less net book value on equipment;

our exploration expenses decreased by $8,000 to $214,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 (2014 - $222,000) due to further decreased exploration and drilling activities caused by our funding limitation during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015;

our professional fees decreased by $17,000 to $124,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 (2014 - $141,000) primarily due to continuing decreased legal and accounting services as a result of more work performed in-house by management to reduce costs.

our rent expenses decreased by $24,000 to $60,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 (2014 - $84,000) due to a significant decrease on office rent as a result of our Tanzania office moving to a small office in March 2014 and the Vancouver office lease expiry in September 2014. Included in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015, there was an increased rent of $36,000 (2014 - $25,200) representing 60% of the rental expense associated with renting our Chief Executive Officer’s family house in Tanzania;

our travel and investor relations expenses increased by $12,000 to $36,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 (2014 - $24,000) primarily due to travel expenses incurred for an in-person Board of Directors meeting held in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Year Ended May 31, 2014 Compared to Year Ended May 31, 2013

Our net loss for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014 was $2,294,000, compared to $4,238,000 for the same period ended May 31, 2013, mainly due to $1,000,000 (2013 - $1,600,000) permanent impairment of marketable securities and the following operation expenses changes.

Our operating expenses for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014 decreased by $1.36 million to $1,297,000 from $2,653,000 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, as follows:

our consulting, general and administrative fees decreased by $834,000 to $547,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014 (2013 - $1,381,000), primarily due to decreases of $345,000 in cash expenditures and $489,000 in stock-based compensation. The stock-based compensation included in consulting, general and administrative fees was $Nil during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014 (2013 - $489,000); Excluding the stock-based compensation, our other consulting, general and administrative fees was decreased to $547,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014 (2013 - $892,000), primarily due to decreased independent directors’ fees, less employees and consultants, and continuing cost management; At May 31, 2014, approximately $278,000 (2013 - $145,000) of general and administrative fees remained as payables due to the related parties;

depreciation increased by $14,000 to $189,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014 (2013 - $203,000) mainly due to less net book value on the equipment;

our exploration expenses decreased by $437,000 to $222,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014 (2013 - $659,000) due to further decreased exploration and drilling activities caused by our funding limitation during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014;

interest expenses increased to $90,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014 (2013 - $28,000), mainly due to increased deemed interest on an interest free unsecured loan from a related party. Such deemed interest was recorded as donated capital;

our professional fees decreased by $45,000 to $141,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014 (2012 - $186,000) primarily due to continuing decreased legal and accounting services as a result of more work performed in-house by management to save the cost.

our rent expenses decreased by $10,000 to $84,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014 (2013 - $94,000) mainly due to our Tanzania office reduced to half commencing March 2013 and further moved to a smaller office commencing March 2014. In addition, included in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, there was $25,200 rent representing 60% of rental expense associated with renting our Chief Executive Officer’s family house in Tanzania pursuant to the Executive Services Agreement. Such rent for 2012 was paid and included in the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012.

our travel and investor relations expenses decreased by $75,000 to $24,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014 (2013 - $99,000) primarily due to significantly less travel expenses and investor relations expenses and cost management.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has been reviewing its budgets for its current business needs and its further exploration. We estimate that our total expenditures for our fiscal year ending May 31, 2016 will be approximately $1.3 million, as outlined above under the heading “Plan of Operations”. At May 31, 2015, we had cash of $86,000 but a working capital deficit of $382,000. We believe that we have insufficient capital to fund our plan of operations in the next 12 months and we estimate we will be required to obtain a minimum of $1.4 million additional funds in order to pursue our planned operations over the fiscal year ending May 31, 2016.

On November 20, 2014, the Company entered into a credit facility agreement with a private company controlled by our Chairman of the Board of Directors. The funding is also in the form of an interest-free unsecured loan to the Company of up to $500,000 due May 31, 2017. As of the date of this report, we received a total of $350,000, with $150,000 available to be withdrawn pursuant to this facility agreement.

20


During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015, we received $10,000 of recoverable goods and services tax/harmonized sales tax from Canada Revenue Agency. Based on requirements of the Tanzania Revenue Authority (“TRA”), we had submitted recoverable value added tax (“VAT”) refund certificates in January 2015 with TRA to request a VAT refund of $24,000 (TZS 49,061,634). However, as of the date of this report, we have not received the claimed refund yet.

As at May 31, 2015, there was $29,000 of recoverable VAT paid in Tanzania and $10,000 of recoverable goods and services tax paid in Canada. Such recoverable amounts were included in our working capital and expected to be refunded during the fiscal year 2016.

We have not generated revenues since the date of inception on January 5, 2004, and our cash has been generated primarily from the sale of our securities. During the 12-month period following the date of this annual report, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock, debt financing, joint ventures or some combination of these or other means. We believe that external debt financing will not be an alternative at this stage for funding additional phases of our exploration as we do not have significant tangible assets to secure any debt financing.

We cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding to continue our acquisition and exploration program going forward. If we are not able to obtain financing in the amounts required or on terms that are acceptable to us, we may be forced to scale back, or abandon, our plan of operations. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity and/or debt financing to fund our acquisition and exploration program, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of any mineral claims. If we do not continue to obtain additional funding, we will be forced to abandon our mineral claims and our plan of operations.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $762,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015, as compared to $203,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014. The increase was mainly due to $538,000 of recoverable VAT received from TRA in the year ended May 31, 2014.

During the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2015, net cash used in operating activities was $147,000, while net cash provided by operating activities was $342,000 during the same period in 2014. Net cash used in operating activities from our inception on January 5, 2004 to May 31, 2015 was $20.2 million.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $46,000 during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015. During the year, we received $35,000 from disposal of vehicles and $11,000 from redemption of restricted cash equivalent. During the year ended May 31, 2014, we purchased $3,000 of office equipment and computer software, and received $7,000 from disposal of office furniture and vehicle.

During the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2015, we received $15,000 from disposal of vehicle. During the same period in 2014, net cash used in investing activities was $1,000. Net cash used in investing activities from our inception on January 5, 2004 to May 31, 2015 was $786,000 mainly used in purchase of property and equipment.

Net Cash from Financing Activities

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015, we received $269,000 (2014 – $525,000) cash from a related party as interest-free loans. During the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2015, net cash from financing activities was $135,000 (2014 - $50,000) received from a related party as interest-free loans. We have funded our business to date primarily from sales of our common stock. From our inception on January 5, 2004 to May 31, 2015, net cash provided by sales of our common stock was $20 million and interest-free loans from a related party were $1.3 million.

There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our exploration of the property underlying our mineral claim interest and our venture will fail.

Going Concern

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive exploration activities. The Company has not generated any revenues and has accumulated losses of $117 million since inception to May 31, 2015. In addition, we had working capital deficit of $382,000 as of May 31, 2015. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report on our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2015 that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Future Financings

We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares, debt financing from our related parties, and/or other financing in order to continue to fund our business operations over next fiscal year ending May 31, 2016. 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 exploration activities.

21


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.

Related Party Transactions

The details of related party transactions are disclosed in footnote 9 of our Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 (Item 8 – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, below).

Segment Disclosures

The Company operates in one reportable segment, located in Tanzania Africa, being the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The details of segment disclosures are disclosed in footnote 15 of our Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 (Item 8 – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, below).

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

We believe our critical accounting policies require us to make significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

The details of our critical accounting policies are disclosed in footnote 2 of our Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2015 (Item 8 – FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, below).

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

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

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders of
Handeni Gold Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Handeni Gold Inc. as of May 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, cash flows and stockholders' equity (deficiency) for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidation financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Handeni Gold Inc. as of May 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has not generated any revenues and has incurred operating losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Handeni Gold Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of May 31, 2015
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

1.

Nature of Operations and Going Concern

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 5, 2004. On February 14, 2012, the Company changed its name from Douglas Lake Minerals Inc. to Handeni Gold Inc. (the “Company”). The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources located in Tanzania, Africa. The Company has not presently determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploitation of economically recoverable reserves in its resource properties, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations.

As at May 31, 2015, the Company has not generated any revenues, has a working capital deficiency of $382,358, and has accumulated losses of $117,108,249 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to raise equity and/or debt financing to fund its operations which may result in substantial dilution to the Company’s stockholders or may not be available, if at all, in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company. If additional capital is not obtained, the Company may be forced to cease operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


  a)

Basis of Presentation

     
 

These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in United States dollars. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries described as follows. In June 2011, the Company incorporated in Tanzania a wholly- owned subsidiary, HG Limited, which undertakes mineral property exploration activities in Tanzania. The Company also has a wholly-owned non-operating Tanzanian subsidiary (Douglas Lake Tanzania Limited).

     
 

All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company’s fiscal year-end is May 31.

     
  b)

Use of Estimates

     
 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the estimated deemed interest rates on interest-free related party loans, recoverability and useful life of long-lived assets, mineral prospecting licenses, stock-based compensation, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances and contingent liabilities. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that 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.

     
  c)

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

     
 

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

     
  d)

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

     
 

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the consolidated financial statements. For the year ended May 31, 2015, the Company has no component of other comprehensive loss and accumulated other comprehensive loss.

     
  e)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     
 

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at fair value and they comprise cash on hand, deposits held with banks and other highly liquid investments. Highly liquid investments are readily convertible to cash and generally have maturities of three months or less from the time acquired. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions which the Company believes limits credit risk.

  f)

Marketable Securities

     
 

The Company reports investments in marketable equity securities at fair value based on quoted market prices. All investment securities are designated as available for sale with unrealized gains and losses included in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses are accounted for based on the specific identification method.

     
 

The Company periodically reviews these investments for other-than-temporary declines in fair value based on the specific identification method. When an other-than-temporary decline has occurred, unrealized losses that are other than temporary are recognized in earnings. When determining whether a decline is other-than-temporary, the Company examines (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value of an investment has been lower than its carrying value; (ii) the financial condition and near- term prospects of the investee, including any specific events that may influence the operations of the investee such as changes in technology that may impair the earnings potential of the investee; and (iii) the Company’s intent and ability to retain its investment in the investee for a sufficient period of time to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. The Company generally believes that an other-than-temporary decline has occurred when the fair value of the investment is below the carrying value for one year, in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

     
  g)

Property and Equipment

     
 

Property and equipment consists of office equipment, automobiles and computer software recorded at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis as follows:


  Automobiles 3 years
  Camp and equipment 3 years
  Office furniture and equipment 3 years
  Software 1 year

  h)

Mineral Property Costs

     
 

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on January 5, 2004 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral prospecting licenses and mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized in accordance with ASC 805-20-55-37, whether Mineral Rights are Tangibel or Intangible Assets. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360-10-35-21, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying costs may not be recoverable.

     
 

When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of- production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

     
  i)

Long-Lived Assets

     
 

In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value, which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

     
  j)

Asset Retirement Obligations

     
 

The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations in accordance with the provisions of ASC 440 Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations which requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the assets. The Company did not have any asset retirement obligations as of May 31, 2015 and 2014.

  k)

Financial Instruments

     
 

ASC 825, Financial Instruments requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, and the fair value of financial instruments, which include cash, restricted cash equivalent, restricted marketable securities, and accounts payable were estimated to approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

     
 

The Company’s operations are in Canada and Africa, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

     
  l)

Income Taxes

     
 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

     
  m)

Foreign Currency Translation

     
 

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar. The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries is Tanzania shillings. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830 Foreign Currency Translation Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the consolidated balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average rates are used to translate revenues and expenses.

     
 

Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

     
 

To the extent that the Company incurs transactions that are not denominated in its functional currency, they are undertaken in Canadian dollars (“Cdn$”) and Tanzanian shillings. The Company has not, to the date of these consolidated financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

     
  n)

Stock-based Compensation

     
 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation and ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.

     
 

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviours. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss over the requisite service period.

     
 

All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

     
  o)

Reclassification

     
 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year’s presentation.

     
  p)

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

     
 

The Company has adopted all new accounting pronouncements that are mandatorily effective and none have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

     
 

New accounting pronouncements effective June 1, 2015

     
 

During the year ended May 31, 2015, the Company elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. The adoption of this standard allowed the Company to remove the previously disclosed inception-to-date information and all references to exploration stage.

     
 

The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that are expected to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Mineral Properties and Licenses


  a)

Handeni Properties, Tanzania, Africa

     
 

Prospecting Licenses (“PLs”)

On September 21, 2010, the Company completed a Mineral Property Acquisition Agreement with IPP Gold Limited (“IPP Gold”), and the Company acquired four PLs totaling approximately 800 square kilometers, located in the Handeni District of Tanzania (the “Handeni Properties”). IPP Gold retained a 2.5% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) on the Handeni Properties and the Company has the option to reduce the NSR to 1.25% by paying $5,000,000. If the NSR is reduced to 1.25% the maximum NSR for any year is capped at $1,000,000. In any year the NSR payment is less than $1,000,000 the difference between the actual NSR payment and $1,000,000 will be carried forward to subsequent years. In addition if the London spot price for gold is equal to or greater than $1,500 then the NSR will increase from 2.5% to 3%. The Company issued 133,333,333 restricted shares of common stock to IPP Gold to acquire the Handeni Properties and no further payments to IPP Gold in shares or cash are required.

Mineral Properties and Licenses (continued)


  a)

Handeni Properties, Tanzania, Africa (continued)

Prospecting Licenses (“PLs”) (continued)

On September 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Transaction Fee Agreement with a consultant for services related to soliciting offers from and in assisting in the negotiation with potential Company financiers, purchasers, acquisition targets and/or joint venture development partners (each such party being a “Potential Investor”). The initial term of the agreement was a period of 60 days and automatically renews monthly unless otherwise specifically renewed in writing by each party or terminated by the Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to pay the consultant a transaction fee for each completed property acquisition transaction in Tanzania (a “Completed Transaction”). The transaction fee is 12.5% of the shares issuable under each Completed Transaction, payable in restricted common shares at the lowest priced security issuable under each Completed Transaction. On September 30, 2010, the Company issued 16,666,667 restricted shares of common stock pursuant to the Transaction Fee Agreement in relation to the acquisition of the Handeni Properties.

The fair value of the 133,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to IPP Gold pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement and the 16,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock issued pursuant to the Transaction Fee Agreement totaled $60,000,000.

On November 30, 2010, the capitalized acquisition costs of the Handeni Properties were tested for impairment by the Company’s management as required by ASC 360. Management determined that no positive cash flows from the Handeni Properties could be identified or supported and a full impairment loss was recognized in expenses for the $60,000,000 acquisition cost.

Under Tanzanian law, 50% of the area of PLs need to be relinquished following a period of three years after allocation of the PLs to the Company (1998 Mining Act applicable to the Companies’ PLs). The Company has received four renewal PLs of the renewal areas under PL6742/2010, PL6744/2010, PL6743/2010 and PL6779/2010 effective on October 5, 2013, September 13, 2013, October 13, 2013 and September 13, 2013, respectively. These four PLs are valid until October 4, 2016, September 12, 2016, October 12, 2016 and September 12, 2016, respectively. The total area occupied by the renewal licenses is approximately 359.80 km2 or 45% of the original area.

In addition to the renewal areas, the Company had also applied for the remainder of the license areas and has received four additional PLs. The Company now holds a total license area of approximately 423.03 km2 (53% of its original 800 km2license area).

During the year ended May 31, 2015, the Company paid $62,584 (2014: $59,333) in annual rental and licenses renewal fees for PLs. Such license related fees have been recorded as exploration expenses.

Primary Mining Licenses (“PMLs”),

On August 5, 2011, the Company entered a Mineral Property Acquisition Agreement (the “2011 Acquisition Agreement”) with Handeni Resources Limited (“Handeni Resources”), a limited liability company registered under the laws of Tanzania. The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company has an existing ownership and/or beneficial interest(s) in Handeni Resources. Pursuant to the 2011 Acquisition Agreement, the Company had an exclusive option to acquire from Handeni Resources a 100% interest in mineral licenses covering an area of approximately 2.67 square kilometers to the east of Magambazi Hill, which is adjacent to the area covered by the Company’s existing PLs in the Handeni District.

On November 30, 2011, the Company completed the 2011 Acquisition Agreement and issued 15,000,000 restricted common shares to Handeni Resources as payment. As at November 30, 2011, the fair market price of the Company’s common stock was $0.11 per share; accordingly, the Company recorded a total fair market value of $1,650,000 as the mineral licenses acquisition cost.

To comply with the laws and regulations of the Republic of Tanzania whereby foreign companies may not own PMLs, on July 19, 2012, the Company entered into an Addendum agreement to the 2011 Acquisition Agreement whereby Handeni Resources, on behalf of the Company, administers the 32 PMLs until such time as a mining license on the 32 PMLs (2.67 km2) have been allocated. During this period Handeni Resources is conducting exploration and mining activities on the PMLs as directed by the Company.

  b)

Mkuvia Alluvial Gold Project, Tanzania, Africa

The Mkuvia Alluvial Gold Project was comprised of four PLs covering a total area of 380 square kilometers located in the Nachingwea District, Lindi Region of the Republic of Tanzania. The Company is aware that the four PLs expired during May and June of 2012. As at May 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has no capitalized costs related to the Mkuvia Alluvial Gold Project.

On January 13, 2015, the Company reached a binding settlement agreement with regards to its litigation with RCR (see Note 13, below). Based on this agreement with RCR, the Company will relinquish its interest in the Mkuvia Alluvial Project after the formal agreement delivered by RCR as agreed.

Commitments and Contingencies

On February 8, 2012, RCR filed a lawsuit against the Company in the Supreme Court, State of New York, in which RCR alleged that the Company participated in a fraudulent transfer of certain mineral property interests in Tanzania that RCR had the right to purchase pursuant to a series of agreements with the Company.

On January 13, 2015, the Company reached a binding settlement of its litigation with RCR, and is currently waiting for RCR to finalize the formal settlement documentation. The settlement does not require any monetary payment by the Company to RCR. Under the terms of the settlement, the Company will turn over its interest in Ruby Creek Resources (Tanzania) Limited and has agreed to return the 4,000,000 shares of restricted RCR common stock to RCR (See Note 6, above). Both parties have agreed to dismiss their respective claims, with prejudice, and the litigation is now concluded.

14.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 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 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

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

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.

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 820, the fair value of cash, restricted cash equivalent and restricted marketable securities are determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Management believes that the recorded values of all of the Company’s other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits, which are, on a more likely than not basis, not expected to be realized. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income tax and has concluded substantially all U.S. federal and state income tax matters for tax years through May 31, 2012. The tax filings for years from 2013 to 2015 are subject to audit by U.S. jurisdictions. The Company’s Canadian office has filed its Canadian corporate income tax returns under the “Voluntary Disclosure Program”, and the tax filings for years from 2013 to 2015 are subject to audit by Canadian jurisdictions. The Company’s Tanzania subsidiaries are subject to Tanzania income tax, the tax filings for the years from 2013 to 2015 are subjected to audit by Tanzania jurisdictions.

Income tax expense differs from the amount that would result from applying the U.S. federal income tax rates to earnings before income taxes. The Company has net operating losses carried forward of approximately $29 million available to offset taxable income in future years which begin expiring in fiscal 2026. Pursuant to ASC 740, the potential benefits of the net operating losses carried forward has not been recognized in the consolidated financial statements since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years.

The income tax benefit differs from the amount computed by applying the federal income tax rate of 35% to net loss before income taxes for the years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 as a result of the following:

      May 31,     May 31,  
      2015     2014  
       
               
  Loss before taxes   (1,165,962 )   (2,293,595 )
               
  Statutory rate   35%     35%  
               
  Computed expected tax recovery   (408,087 )   (802,758 )
  Permanent differences   397,865     305,184  
  Foreign tax rate differences   (27,168 )   43,597  
  Valuation allowance change   37,390     453,977  
               
  Provision for income taxes        

The significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities at May 31, 2015 and 2014, after applying enacted federal income tax rates, are as follows:

      May 31,     May 31,  
      2015     2014  
       
               
  Net operating losses carried forward   10,734,304     9,979,715  
  Capital losses available   19,975     19,975  
  Mineral properties tax basis in excess of book value   2,218,155     2,935,354  
  Valuation allowance   (12,972,434 )   (12,935,044 )
               
  Net deferred income tax assets        

The Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the deferred income tax asset since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years. When circumstances change and which cause a change in management’s judgment about the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

We have had no disagreements with our principal independent accountants.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Reyno Scheepers, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Melinda Hsu, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15b) and 15d-15b) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based upon the evaluation, the Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, due to the deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting as described below under Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

The management of the Company assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of the end of our fiscal year ended May 31, 2015, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective due to material weaknesses, as more fully described below.

Management identified the following material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting:

  1.

Certain entity level controls establishing a “tone at the top” were considered material weaknesses.

     
  2.

The Company’s board of directors and executive officers are located in multiple countries, which have caused limited segregation of duties and are not consistent with good internal control procedures.

     
  3.

The Company has a limited management team with limited employees to establish sufficient segregation of duties, which was considered a material weakness.

Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results and information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act within the time period specified in applicable rules and forms. However, management believes that these material weaknesses resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal control over financial reporting can impact the Company’s financial statements for future years. As a result material errors could occur.

The Company and its management are endeavoring to correct the above noted weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting. We have established an audit committee, corporate governance and compensation committee with sufficient independent members, and we have identified an “expert” for the audit committee to advise other members as to correct accounting and reporting procedures. In addition, we are establishing written policies outlining the duties of each of the directors and officers of the Company to facilitate better internal control procedures.

Management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and procedures and its internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last quarter of our fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

None.
