DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES

   

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

   

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X, and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and stockholders' deficit in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the six months ended July 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending April 30, 2016.

   

Description of Business – The Company's primary objectives are to 1) commercially and viably extract and refine precious metals from specific coal ash (fly and bottom), ores and other leachable assets, 2) use its proprietary processes to convert specific ore bodies and coal ash landfills into valuable assets, and 3) joint venture, acquire and develop mining projects in North America. The Company has not yet realized significant revenues from its primary objectives.

   

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

   

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

   

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

   

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

   

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

Going Concern – The accompanying financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the next twelve months and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s history of losses, working capital deficit, capital deficit, minimal liquidity and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order for the Company to continue operations beyond the next twelve months and be able to discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business it must raise additional equity or debt capital and continue cost cutting measures. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve sustainable profitable operations or obtain additional funds when needed or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to management. If the Company continues to incur operating losses and does not raise sufficient additional capital, material adverse events may occur including, but not limited to, 1) a reduction in the nature and scope of the Company’s operations and 2) the Company’s inability to fully implement its current business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully improve its liquidity position. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might be required resulting from the adverse outcome relating to this uncertainty.

As of October 31, 2015, the Company had cumulative net losses of $18,027,350 from operations since inception and had negative working capital of $1,759,427. For the six months ended October 31, 2015, the Company incurred a net loss of $428,290 and had net cash used in operating activities of $255,774. For the six months ended October 31, 2014 the Company incurred a net loss of $486,706 and had net cash used in operating activities of $326,779. The Company has not fully commenced its mining and minerals processing operations, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

To address liquidity constraints, the Company will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of equity or debt financing. Additionally, the Company has reduced expenses, elected to defer payment of certain obligations, deferred payment of our CEO’s salary and reduced staffing levels to conserve cash. The Company is focused on continuing to reduce costs and obtaining additional funding. There is no assurance that such funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company raises additional funds by selling additional shares of capital stock, securities convertible into shares of capital stock, or by issuing debt convertible into shares of capital stock, the ownership interest of the Company’s existing common stock holders will be diluted.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions include the valuation of stock-based compensation, impairment analysis of long-lived assets, and the realizability of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

Other Current Assets - Other current assets are comprised of other receivables, which do not bear interest and are recorded at cost. The Company extends credit to its consultants, which receivables can be offset against commissions payable to the respective consultants.

The allowance for doubtful accounts represents the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing other receivables. The Company determines the allowance based on specific customer information, historical write-off experience and current industry and economic data. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. Management believes that there are no concentrations of credit risk for which an allowance has not been established. Although management believes that the allowance is adequate, it is possible that the estimated amount of cash collections with respect to accounts receivable could change. As of October 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015, the Company has recorded an allowance for doubtful account of $15,798 and $14,761, respectively.

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

Level 1

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

Level 2

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

Level 3

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

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

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of October 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015 as follows:

   Total $  272,000   $  -   $  272,000   $  -  

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

Mineral Exploration and Development Costs – Exploration expenditures incurred prior to entering the development stage are expensed and included in mineral exploration and evaluation expense.

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

Various factors could impact our ability to achieve forecasted production schedules. Additionally, commodity prices, capital expenditure requirements and reclamation costs could differ from the assumptions the Company may use in cash flow models used to assess impairment. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable minerals from exploration stage mineral interests involves further risks in addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence that the identified mineralized material can ultimately be mined economically. No impairment expense was recognized for the six months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014.

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

Per Share Amounts - The Company follows ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, and ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, which establish standards for the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for basic and diluted earnings per share for entities with publicly held common shares and potential common stock issuances. Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In computing diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted to reflect the effect of potentially dilutive securities, such as stock options and warrants. Common stock equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is antidilutive. Common stock equivalents, which include stock options and warrants to purchase common stock, on October 31, 2015 and 2014 that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be antidilutive were 159,785,129 and 147,685,129, respectively.

Income Taxes - The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes , which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

For acquired properties that do not constitute a business as defined in ASC 805-10-55-4, Definition of a Business, deferred income tax liability is recorded on GAAP basis over income tax basis using statutory federal and state rates. The resulting estimated future federal and state income tax liability associated with the temporary difference between the acquisition consideration and the tax basis is computed in accordance with ASC 740-10-25-51, Acquired Temporary Differences in Certain Purchase Transactions that are Not Accounted for as Business Combinations , and is reflected as an increase to the total purchase price which is then applied to the underlying acquired assets in the absence of there being a goodwill component associated with the acquisition transactions.

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

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

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

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This update simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability. The update is effective in fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, of implementing this guidance on its financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern. The new standard requires management of public and private companies to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, disclose that fact. Management will also be required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The new standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Compensation - Stock Compensation - Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. The guidance requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition and should not be reflected in the estimate of the grant-date fair value of the award. Adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

SCOTTSDALE FACILITY AGREEMENT

   

On April 16, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with GJS Capital Corp. (the "Creditor"). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Creditor has agreed to loan the Company $150,000 (the “Principal”), which has already been advanced. The loan bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum, compounded annually and has a maturity date of December 31, 2015 (the “Maturity Date").

   

At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Creditor may elect to receive units (each a “Unit") in exchange for any portion of the Principal outstanding on the basis of one Unit for each $0.05 of indebtedness converted (the “Unit Conversion Option"). Each Unit consists of one share of our common stock and one warrant to purchase an additional share of our common stock at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of two years from the date of issuance. If the Creditor exercises the Unit Conversion Option, any interest that accrued on the portion of the Principal that was converted shall be forgiven.

   

If the Creditor exercises the Unit Conversion Option, the Creditor will receive a net profits interest (the “Net Profits Interest”) an any future profits received by Company that are derived from our process for the recovery of precious metals from coal ash and other materials (the “Technology”) at a basis of 1% of our net profits for every $10,000 of converted Principal. The Net Profits Interest will terminate when the Creditor receives eight times the amount of converted Principal.

   

In addition, if the Creditor exercises the Unit Conversion Option, the Company will use best efforts to ensure that a director nominated by the Creditor is appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors. If the Creditor does nominate such director, the Company will be allowed to nominate and appoint an additional director to the Company’s Board of Directors.

   

The Creditor has agreed to form a joint venture with the Company for the purpose of constructing and operating a processing plant at the Scottsdale facility, an existing facility, utilizing the Company’s licensed Technology. Under the agreement, the Creditor and the Company shall form a limited liability company (“Newco”) to operate the Joint Venture, and ownership of Newco would be split equally between the Creditor and the Company. In addition, the Creditor would advance $250,000 plus up to 15% for contingencies, a total of $287,500, to Newco to fund the initial construction and operation costs of the Newco. These advances are not expected to be paid back to the Creditor.

   

The Company has been operating in the Scottsdale facility in prior years using the same technology licensed by the Company. As of July 31, 2015 and through the filing date of the Form 10-Q, the Company and the Creditor have not established a limited liability corporation in accordance with the agreement. The equipment used in the Scottsdale facility, lease agreements for the Scottsdale facility, and other supplies purchased and costs incurred by the Scottsdale facility were incurred by the Company and are the legal obligation of the Company. As of October 31, 2015, no bank account has been established for the joint venture and as a result the Company has paid all expenses related to the Scottsdale facility directly via the Company’s bank accounts. Funding under the joint venture has been deposited by the Company into bank accounts owned by the Company. As of October 31, 2015, the Creditor funded a total of $329,000. As of October 31, 2015 and through the date of the filing date of the Form 10-Q, the Company has not agreed to contribute any of the assets related to the Scottsdale facility to the joint venture. Based upon the aforementioned, the Company has accounted for the funds received totaling $329,000 as contributed capital since in substance, the Creditor has secured future revenue of the Scottsdale facility operations with such funds. For the three months ended October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, the Company received contributions totaling zero and $55,000, respectively. For the six months ended October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, the Company received contributions totaling zero and $165,000, respectively.

The Asset Purchase was completed on September 30, 2013. The Gainey shares are held in escrow and will be released pursuant to the terms of a surplus escrow agreement as follows. The company cannot enter into any sales transaction of the Gainey shares prior to their release.

% of Shares to be Released Date of Release
                             5% October 2, 2013
                             5% April 2, 2014

On March 30, 2015, the Company sold 400,000 Gainey shares to the Creditor (see Note 2) for $49,747 cash, net of currency exchange and other banking fees. The cost of the 400,000 Gainey shares was $200,000. The Company recorded a loss on sale of marketable securities of $150,253.

As of October 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015, investment in marketable securities consisted of $243,613 and $272,000, respectively. The Company held 1,600,000 Gainey Capital Corp. (“Gainey”) common shares, and the market value was $0.152 and $0.17 per share, on October 31, 2015 and April 30, 2015, respectively. As of October 31, 2015, 45% of the shares have been released, of which 20% were sold on March 30, 2015. Gainey shares are traded on the Vancouver exchange under the stock symbol GNC.V and on the OTC Pink marketplace under the stock symbol GNYPF. Marketable securities are held for an indefinite period of time and thus are classified as available-for-sale securities. Realized investment gains and losses are included in the statement of operations, as are provisions for other than temporary declines in the market value of available-for-sale securities. Unrealized gains and unrealized losses deemed to be temporary are excluded from earnings (losses), net of applicable taxes, as a component of other comprehensive income. Factors considered in judging whether an impairment is other than temporary include the financial condition, business prospects and creditworthiness of the issuer, the length of time that fair value has been less than cost, the relative amount of decline, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment until the fair value recovers.

Based on management’s evaluation of the circumstances, management believes that the decline in fair value below the cost of certain of the Company’s marketable securities is other-than-temporary.

The following is a summary of available-for-sale marketable securities as of October 31, 2015:

      Cost     Unrealized Gain     Realized (Losses)     Market or Fair Value  
  Equity securities $  800,000   $  --   $  (556,387 ) $  243,613

ITEM 2.

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

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

OVERVIEW

We were incorporated on December 14, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our primary objectives are to: (i) commercially and viably extract and refine precious metals from specific coal (fly and bottom) ash and other leachable assets; (ii) use our proprietary processes to convert specific ore bodies and coal ash landfills into valuable assets; and (iii) joint venture, acquire and develop mining projects in North America.

We are focusing our business on commercially processing specific coal ash through a process of mechanical attrition, chemical treatments and thermal sintering that exposes extractable gold (the “Cholla Process”) at our processing and refining plant located in Scottsdale, Arizona (the “Scottsdale Facility”). This process agglomerates metal atoms into larger nanoparticles, before forming bulk gold metal. Once in bulk gold metal, all traditional assay methods can effectively measure value. In November 2012, we shut down our Phoenix Facility and we have no plans to continue that operation.

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

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

Revenues

We earned no revenues during the six months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to develop a commercially viable process or earn significant revenue from the processing of fly ash or other materials.

Expenses

The major components of our operating expenses for the three and six months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014 are outlined in the table below:

    Three Months Ended     Percentage     Six Months Ended     Percentage  
    October 31,     October     Increase /     October     October 31,     Increase /

Total operating expenses $  169,306   $  232,272     (27.1)% $  377,108   $  455,953     (17.3)%

Our operating expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2015 decreased as compared to the three months ended October 31, 2014. The decrease in our operating expenses primarily relates to a decrease in contract labor and processing costs at our Scottsdale facility, a decrease in legal fees, SEC filings and traveling costs at corporate, and the 2014 recording of a loss on legal settlement.

Our operating expenses for the six months ended October 31, 2015 decreased as compared to the six months ended October 31, 2014. The decrease in our operating expenses primarily relates to a decrease in contract labor, processing costs and utilities at our Scottsdale facility, a decrease in legal and audit fees at corporate, and the 2014 recording of a loss on legal settlement. The decrease was partially offset by the recording of other than temporary loss on the sale of marketable securities.

Mineral exploration and evaluation expenses primarily consist of contract labor, rent, consulting fees and leased equipment.

4


Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of: (i) monthly consulting fees to our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Mitchell; (ii) legal and audit fees in connection with meeting our reporting requirements under the Exchange Act; and (iii) travel expense for our executives and directors.

Loss on legal settlement relates to additional expenses incurred with respect to the lease of our Phoenix facility, which we closed in November 2012.

Other than temporary loss on sale of marketable securities relates to the realized losses recognized for the continued decline in stock price of our Gainey Capital Corp shares.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working Capital                  
                Percentage  
    At October 31, 2015     At April 30, 2015     Increase / (Decrease)  
Current Assets $  10,086   $  11,897     (15.2)%
Current Liabilities   (1,769,513 )   (1,413,744 )   25.2%  
Working Capital Deficit $  (1,759,427 ) $  (1,401,847 )   25.5%  

Cash Flows            
    Six Months Ended

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities $  (255,774 ) $  (326,779 )
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities   -     -  
Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities   255,000     267,000  
Net Decrease in Cash During Period $  (774 ) $  (59,779 )

As of October 31, 2015, we had a working capital deficit of $1,759,427 as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,401,847 at our year ended April 30, 2015. The increase in our working capital deficit is primarily due to an increase in accounts payable, accounts payable-related parties, accrued interest-related parties and loans payable-related parties.

FINANCING REQUIREMENTS

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

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

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

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

In May 2015, we received a verified complaint (the “Complaint”), dated April 17, 2015, which was filed in The Supreme Court of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, by 1254859 Ontario Inc. (the “Claimant”), alleging breach of contract, against Golden Anvil, Marco Antonia Rincon Valdes and us. The Complaint seeks to recover 1,000,000 shares of Gainey and reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Claimant in relation to the Transaction.

On June 1, 2015, the Company filed a response to the Complaint, denying: 1) entering into any oral agreement; 2) that the Plaintiff presented a potential transaction with Gainey; 3) that there was any fee payable to Plaintiff upon completion of a transaction with Gainey; 4) any existence of an agreement with Plaintiff and as such, the Gainey transaction was not related to any agreement with Plaintiff; and 5) any obligation to pay a fee to Plaintiff, contractually or otherwise. While the Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully defend the lawsuit. If the lawsuit is resolved unfavorably it will have a significant impact on our business operations and will limit our ability to continue our operations.

ITEM 1A.             RISK FACTORS.

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

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

As of October 31, 2015, we had cash on hand of $10,086 and accumulated net loss of $18,015,737 since inception. Our plan of operation calls for significant expenses in connection with the operation of our Scottsdale Facility and the entry of any potential joint ventures. If we are unable to raise sufficient financing, there is a substantial risk that we will be unable to meet payments of principal and interest to our creditors and pay our consultants and employees. In November 2012, we shut down our Phoenix Facility and we have no plans to continue that operation. In addition, we will require substantial financing in order to implement our plan of operation over the next twelve months. There is no assurance that this will satisfy all of our working capital requirements for the next twelve months or that these funds will be sufficient to complete our planned exploration and development programs.

We face a high risk of business failure.

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

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

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

We received a verified complaint (the “Complaint”), dated April 17, 2015, that was filed in The Supreme Court of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, by 1254859 Ontario Inc. (the “the Claimant”), alleging breach of contract, against Golden Anvil, Marco Antonia Rincon Valdes and us. The Complaint seeks to recover 1,000,000 shares of Gainey and reimbursement of expenses incurred while rendering services related to the Transaction. We do not believe that there was a contract as alleged and we intend to vigorously defend this lawsuit. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully defend the lawsuit. If the lawsuit is resolved unfavorably it will have a significant impact on our business operations and will limit our ability to continue our operations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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