Item 1.

Business


We are a green mining company, primarily engaged in acquiring mineral assets and applying green innovation to traditional mining methods and combining renewable energy and technology into the process.


Overview


We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 21, 2005, under the name “Nava Resources, Inc.” for the purpose of conducting mineral exploration activities. We were authorized to issue 400,000,000 shares of common stock, having a par value of $0.001 per share.  On January 4, 2007, we obtained written consent from our shareholders to amend our Articles of Incorporation to change the par value of our common stock from $0.001 to $0.00001 per share, which change was effected on February 28, 2007.  Effective July 30, 2013, we changed our name from “Nava Resources, Inc.” to “Blox Inc.”.


On February 27, 2014, we consummated an Amalgamation Agreement (the “Amalgamation Agreement”) with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Ourco Capital Ltd., (“Ourco”), International Eco Endeavors Corp. (“Eco Endeavors”), which was incorporated on April 28, 2011 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Kenderesh Endeavors Corp. (“Kenderesh”), and Kenderes Biogaz Termelo



4





Korlatolt Fele Lossegu Tarsasag (“Kenderes Biogaz”), pursuant to which Ourco and Eco Endeavors amalgamated to form Blox Energy Inc. (“Blox Energy”), pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).  Blox Energy is a private company incorporated pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and is engaged in the development of renewable energy projects and intends to expand into the provision of renewable energy services.  Kenderes Biogaz was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kenderesh which, in turn, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eco Endeavors. Kenderes Biogaz owned and operated a biogas plant located near Budapest, Hungary.


Due to uneconomic conditions brought on by political and economic forces in Hungary we deemed it necessary and in the best interest of our company to cease operations at our Kenderes Biogas Plant in Hungary, which has been moved to Africa where we will look to provide energy to mining projects.  We completed the sale of our wholly-owned Hungarian subsidiary and any assets that we deemed to be uneconomical to move were sold off.  


Recent Corporate Developments


During the year ended March 31, 2016, we dissolved our wholly-owned inactive subsidiaries, Nava Resources Canada, Inc. and Kenderesh Endeavours Corp.


By Agreement dated April 29, 2016, Waratah Capital Ltd. agreed to increase its bridge loan from C$600,000 to C$1,500,000 for our general working capital costs.


Change of Officers and Directors


The following changes in officers and directors occurred during the year ended March 31, 2016:


·

On April 14, 2015 Robert Abenate, Cedric Wilson and Robert Ironside resigned as directors of our company and all subsidiaries, and on May 1, 2015 Robert Abenate resigned as President and Chief Executive Officer and Rick Low resigned as Chief Financial Officer.

·

Brigitte McArthur resigned as Corporate Secretary effective May 15, 2015.

·

On July 31, 2015, Robert Spiers was appointed as a director and Chief Executive Officer, Trevor Pickett was appointed as a director and Chief Operating Officer and Donna M. Moroney was appointed as Corporate Secretary.

·

On September 10, 2015, Nancy Zhao was appointed as Chief Financial Officer.


Description of Property


We entered into a Deed of Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated July 24, 2014 (the "Assumption Agreement") with Joseph Boampong Memorial Institute Ltd. ("JBMIL") and Equus Mining Ltd. ("EML"), Burey Gold Guinee sarl ("BGGs") and Burey Gold Limited ("BGL") and, collectively with EML and BGGs, (the "Vendors"), pursuant to which we agreed to assume JBMIL's right to acquire a 78% beneficial interest in the Mansounia Concession (the "Mansounia Property") from the Vendors. We also announced that we had exercised that right and acquired a 78% beneficial interest in the Mansounia Property.


The Mansounia Property lies in the southwest margin of the Siguiri Basin, in the Kouroussa Prefecture, Kankan Region, in Guinea, West Africa and covers a surface area of 145 square kilometres. The Mansounia Property is located approximately 80 kilometres west, by road, from the country's third largest city, Kankan.


An exploration permit for the Mansounia Property was granted by the Ministère des Mines et de la Géologie on August 20, 2013. As part of our due diligence, we obtained a legal opinion which confirmed that the license was in good standing at the time of acquisition. It is our intention to obtain an exploitation permit, to allow us the exclusive right to mine and dispose of minerals for 15 years, with a possible 5 year extension.


In consideration for the acquisition of the interest in the Mansounia Property, we paid $100,000 to BGL and $40,000 to EML and on July 31, 2014, issued BGL and EML an aggregate of 6,514,350 shares of common stock of our company (the "First Tranche Shares"), at a deemed price of $0.1765 per share, for an aggregate deemed value of $1,150,000. The First Tranche Shares were issued to BGL and EML in the proportions of 71.43% and 28.57%, respectively. For accounting purposes, we recorded the cash payment of $150,000 plus $781,722 as the fair value of the First Tranche Shares in mineral interest. The fair value of the First Tranche Shares was based on the closing price of our shares on the OTCQB on July 24, 2014.


Within 14 days of commercial gold production being publicly declared from ore mined from the Mansounia Property, we will issue BGL and EML a second tranche of shares of common stock of our company (the "Second Tranche Shares").  The number of Second Tranche



5





Shares to be issued shall be calculated by dividing $1,150,000 by the volume weighted average share price of our common stock over a 20 day period preceding the issuance date. The Second Tranche Shares shall be issued to BGL and EML in the proportions of 71.43% and 28.57%, respectively.


Near Surface Infill Sampling Program - Mansounia


A near surface infill sampling campaign which focused on further defining the near surface supergene mineralization continuity resulted in further high grade results.  The sampling program was in response to positive results from a desktop study and data collation and a review of the historical Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) completed by Spiers Geological Consultants (“SGC”).


Resulting from the review and as part of the ongoing development of the project toward feasibility, SGC advised that diamond core samples associated with mineralised grades near surface within the proposed open pit areas were under-sampled and required further delineation.


We elected to commence infill sampling to both infill absent data and to potentially extend the resource base, which is believed would further improve the project economics.


Some significant results from the infill sampling of existing diamond core holes include;


44m at 0.68g/t Au from 4 to 48m in drill hole MDD009

12m @ 0.90 g/t Au from surface in drill hole MDD013

36m @ 0.52 g/t Au from 4 metres in drill hole MDD015

24m @ 0.71 g/t Au from 6m in drill hole MDD017


Note: Intersections are reported as down-hole length and not true width.


The infill sampling confirmed that the mineralisation displays continuity near surface at depths less than 50m. These early results have confirmed that the Mansounia mineralised trend extends near surface as a broad moderately continuous zone of economic mineralisation (above a 0.4 gt Au cut-off grade) which continues to provide a strong case for the development of a heap leach project.


The completion of the infill sampling will now trigger a period of independent resource review and update which will be conducted with a view to upgrading the project Mineral Resource Estimates and subsequently fast-track the project into production.


Concurrent with the planned project feasibility analysis during 2016, other work will include geological and structural evaluations of the immediate and surrounding geological terrain, local and regional targeting and identification of potential additional mineralisation in-line with a move to an updated economic assessment.


Ghana – Pramkese, Osenase and Asamankese


On August 20th, 2015, we announced that the directors conducted their first visit to Ghana between the 5th and the 15th August, 2015.  Upon arrival, the directors, which included Mr. Ronald Renne, Chairman, Mr. Robert Spiers, CEO, and Mr. Trevor Pickett, COO, visited the Birim Region where the three Ghanaian concessions are located.


The objective was to carry out a geological reconnaissance over the areas to identify potentially favourable lithologies.  The directors inspected the existing field programs in Ghana and oversaw the planning and implementation of programs for the near future.


Geological and Technical Consultants


Robert Spiers has held a number of senior Geologist and mine management positions, over the last 25 years, with companies in Australia and across the world, operating in a broad range of commodities, including gold. He has a vast degree of experience in all aspects of project valuation, resource estimation, exploration planning and management, resource development programs, construction and application of 3D geological models with utilization in the estimation and extraction of ore bodies. Mr Spiers is also a Competent Person (Qualified Person) under the JORC 2012 Code & Guidelines and the NI 43-101 instrument for the reporting of Mineral Resource Estimates.  


We also intend to retain qualified persons on a contract basis as needed to assist us with our exploration activities, including the survey, exploration, excavation of any mineral property we may acquire.  We do not presently have any verbal or written agreement regarding the retention of any such persons.

Competitive Conditions


The mineral exploration business is an extremely competitive industry. We are competing with many other exploration companies looking for minerals.  We are a very early stage mineral exploration company and a very small participant in the mineral exploration business. Being a junior mineral exploration company, we compete with other companies like ours for financing and joint venture partners. Additionally, we compete for resources such as professional geologists, camp staff, helicopters and mineral exploration supplies.


Government Approvals and Recommendations


Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various national and local laws and regulations in West Africa, which govern prospecting, development, exploitation, production, export, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters.   We intend to secure all necessary permits for the Mansounia Property.


Our activities are also subject to various federal and state/provincial laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing and, in general, are becoming more restrictive. We intend to conduct business with a view to safeguarding public health and the environment and operating in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We will generally be required to mitigate long-term environmental impacts by stabilizing, contouring, resloping and revegetating various portions of a site after mining operations are completed. These reclamation efforts will be conducted in accordance with detailed plans, which must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate regulatory agencies. Changes to current l laws and regulations in West Africa could in the future require additional capital expenditures and increased operating and/or reclamation costs. Although we are unable to predict what additional legislation, if any, might be proposed or enacted, additional regulatory requirements could impact the economics of our projects.


Guinea’s National Transition Council (CTN) amended its mining code in April 2013, in an effort to improve its investment record. The amendments brought profit taxes down to 30 percent, and cut the tax on bauxite to 0.15 percent of the international market price for aluminum. However, the new version still contains the controversial clause, which grants the government a free 15-percent stake in mining projects, as well as the option of purchasing an additional 20 percent stake. The clause is designed to encourage companies to process raw materials inside the sovereign’s borders, rather than just shipping the ore out. The state’s stake in the projects is said to shrink as the portion of value added inside the country’s borders increases.


Under the new mining code, an industrial exploitation or operating permit will be granted for 15 years. It can be renewed for five-year periods, provided the holder of the title complies with its obligations. Upon non-commencement of work within a year of the issuance of an exploitation permit for industrial operations, the previous monthly fine of GNF5m has been revised to GNF10m, imposed for the first three months, with a monthly increase of 10 percent of the penalty amount thereafter.


Mining convention: The granting of a mining concession and an exploitation permit must be accompanied by the mining convention. The maximum duration of a mining convention is 25 years, renewable for one or several periods of 10 years. Mining conventions are subject to an executive order and will be signed by the Minister of Mines, following the advice of the National Mining Committee and the authorization of the Council of Ministers. Mining conventions will then be submitted for the legal opinion of the Supreme Court and ratified by Parliament.


Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws


Although we currently have no costs to comply with environmental laws concerning our mineral property, we will have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation for all work undertaken which causes sufficient surface disturbance to necessitate reclamation work.  Both reclamation and environmental remediation refer to putting disturbed ground back as close to its original state as possible.  Other potential pollution or damage must be cleaned and renewed along standard guidelines outlined in the usual permits.  Reclamation is the process of bringing the land back to a natural state after completion of exploration activities.  Environmental remediation refers to the physical activity of taking steps to remediate, or remedy, any environmental damage caused, i.e. refilling trenches after sampling or cleaning up fuel spills.  At this time, we do not require any reclamation or remediation other than minor clean up and removal of supplies because of minimal disturbance to the ground.  The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration program we will undertake.  Because there is presently no information on the size, tenor, or quality of any resource or reserve at this time, it is impossible to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on our earnings or competitive position in the event a potentially economic deposit is discovered.




7





Employees


We currently have no employees. Our officers and directors provide consulting services to us on a part time basis. We intend to retain the services of geologists, prospectors and consultants on a contract basis to conduct the exploration programs on our mineral claims and to assist with regulatory compliance and preparation of financial statements.


Item 1A.

Risk Factors


Much of the information included in this annual report on Form 10-K includes, or is based upon, estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are statements that relate to future events or future financial performance.  In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of terminology such as “may”, “should”, “intend”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “project”, “predict”, “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.  Such forward-looking statements include any projections and estimates made by our management in connection with our business operations.  These statements speak only as of the date of this overview.  While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.


Such estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below.  We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other forward-looking statements.


The material risks and uncertainties that may affect our forward-looking statements include, among other things: (1) our ability to obtain any necessary financing on acceptable terms; (2) timing and amount of capital expenditures; (3) timely receipt of regulatory approvals; (4) our management team’s ability to implement our business plan; (5) effects of government regulation; (6) general economic and financial market conditions; and (8) other factors beyond our control.


An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks.  You should carefully consider the following known material risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this report in evaluating our company and our business, before purchasing shares of our common stock.  Additional risks not presently known to us may also impair our business operations.  You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.


Risks Relating to Our Company


Our auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.


Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and to allow us to continue as a going concern. We have incurred a net loss of $875,294 and $2,164,620 for the years ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively, and have incurred cumulative losses since inception of $8,925,089 as of March 31, 2016. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as going concern. After auditing our financial statements, our independent auditor issued a going concern opinion and our ability to continue is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital.  


Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to continue obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to significantly curtail or cease operations.   We will need to raise additional funds to finance continuing operations. However, there are no assurances that we will be successful in raising additional funds. Without sufficient additional financing, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in this annual report and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.


We will require additional funds which we plan to raise through the sale of our common stock, which requires favorable market conditions and interest in our activities by investors.  We may not be able to sell our common stock and funding may not be available for continued operations.


Our ability to continue is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital and our operations could be curtailed if we are unable to obtain required additional funding when needed. We have a working capital deficit of $457,620 as of March 31, 2016 and we do not have sufficient funds to complete any work on the Mansounia Property. Subsequent exploration activities will require additional funding. Our



8





only present means of funding is through the sale of our common stock and shareholder loans. Pursuant to an agreement dated April 28, 2016, Waratah Capital Ltd. agreed to increase its bridge loan from C$600,000 to C$1,500,000 to cover our general working capital requirements.  The sale of common stock requires favorable market conditions for junior exploration companies like ours, as well as specific interest in our stock, neither of which may exist. If we are unable to raise additional funds in the future, we may have to cease our operations.   


Our exploration activities are highly speculative and involve substantial risks.


Our Mansounia Property is 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 milling operations, and interruptions may be caused by adverse weather conditions.  Our future operations, if any, 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.


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 it cannot insure or against which it may elect not to insure.  The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.


We depend on consultants and engineers for our exploration programs.


We have relied on and will continue to rely upon consultants for exploration development, construction and operating expertise.  Substantial expenditures are required to construct mines, to establish ore reserves through drilling, to carry out environmental and social impact assessments, to develop metallurgical processes to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the exploration infrastructure at any site chosen for exploration.  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.


We may not have clear title to our property.


Acquisition of title to mineral properties is a very detailed and time-consuming process, and our title to our properties may be affected by prior unregistered agreements or transfers, or undetected defects.  There is a risk that we may not have clear title to its mineral property interests, or they may be subject to challenge or impugned in the future.


Mining exploration, development and operating activities are inherently hazardous.


If we experience mining accidents or other adverse conditions, our mining operations could be materially adversely affected.  Our exploration activities may be interrupted by any or all of the following mining accidents such as cave-ins, rock falls, rock bursts, pit wall failures, fires or flooding.  In addition, exploration activities may be reduced if unfavorable weather conditions, ground conditions or seismic activity are encountered, ore grades are lower than expected, the physical or metallurgical characteristics of the ore are less amenable than expected to mining or treatment, dilution increases or electrical power is interrupted.  Occurrences of this nature and other accidents, adverse conditions or operational problems in future years may result in our failure to achieve current or future exploration and production estimates.


Due to the speculative nature of mineral property exploration, there is substantial risk that no commercially viable mineral deposits will be found on our Mansounia Property or other mineral properties that we may acquire.


In order for us to even commence mining operations we face a number of challenges which include finding qualified professionals to conduct our exploration program, obtaining adequate financing to continue our exploration program, locating a viable mineral body, partnering with a senior mining company, obtaining mining and exploitation permits, and ultimately selling minerals in order to generate revenue. Moreover, exploration for commercially viable mineral deposits is highly speculative in nature and involves substantial risk that no viable mineral deposits will be located on any of our present or future mineral properties.  There is a substantial risk that the exploration program that we will conduct on the Mansounia Property may not result in the discovery of any significant mineralization, and therefore no commercially viable mineral deposit.  There are numerous geological features that we may encounter that would limit our ability to locate mineralization or that could interfere with our exploration programs as planned, resulting in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we may incur significant costs associated with an exploration program, without any benefit.  This would likely result in a decrease in the value of our common stock.



9






Due to the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.


The search for minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or may elect not to insure. We currently have no such insurance nor do we expect to obtain such insurance for the foreseeable future. If a hazard were to occur, the costs of rectifying the hazard may exceed our asset value and cause us to liquidate all our assets and cease operations, resulting in the loss of your entire investment.


The market price for precious metals is based on numerous factors outside of our control. There is a risk that the market price for precious metals will significantly decrease, which will make it difficult for us to fund further mineral exploration activities, and would decrease the probability that any significant mineralization that we locate can be economically extracted.  


Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of minerals. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection.  The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in our not receiving an adequate return on invested capital and you may lose your entire investment in our company.


Changes in the exchange rates between the United States dollar and foreign currencies may be volatile and may negatively impact our costs, which in turn could adversely affect our operating results.


When operating in foreign countries, such as Canada and Africa, we expect to incur a certain amount of our expenses from our operations in foreign currency and translate these amounts into United States dollars for purposes of reporting operating results. As a result, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect our expenses and results of operations, as well as the value of our assets and liabilities. Fluctuations may adversely affect the comparability of period-to-period results. In addition, we anticipate holding foreign currency balances, which will create foreign exchange gains or losses, depending upon the relative values of the foreign currency at the beginning and end of the reporting period, which may affect our net income and earnings per share. Although we may use hedging techniques in the future (which we currently do not use), we may not be able to eliminate the effects of currency fluctuations. Thus, exchange rate fluctuations could have a material adverse impact on our operating results and stock price.


Since the majority of our shares of common stock are owned by one significant stockholder our other stockholders may not be able to influence control of our company or decision making by our management.   


One significant shareholder beneficially owns approximately 78% of our outstanding common stock. The interests of this stockholder may not be, at all times, the same as that of our other shareholders.  This significant shareholder will have the ability to significantly influence the outcome of most corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including our merger with or into another company, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets and amendments to our articles of incorporation. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of our company, which may be disadvantageous to minority shareholders.


Since our directors and officers have the ability to be employed by or consult for other companies, their other activities could slow down our operations.


Our directors and officers may work with other mineral exploration companies. They are not required to work exclusively for us and do not devote all of their time to our operations. Therefore, it is possible that a conflict of interest with regard to their time may arise based on their employment by other companies. Their other activities may prevent them from devoting full-time to our operations which could slow our operations and may reduce our financial results because of the slowdown in operations. It is expected that our directors and officers will devote between 10 and 20 hours per week to our operations on an ongoing basis, and when required will devote whole days and even multiple days at a stretch when property visits are required or when extensive analysis of information is needed. We do not have any written procedures in place to address conflicts of interest that may arise between our business and the business activities of our directors and officers.


Because our directors and officers may work for other companies engaged in mineral exploration, a potential conflict of interest could negatively impact our ability to acquire properties to explore and to run our business.


Our directors and officers may work for other mining and mineral exploration companies.  Due to time demands placed on them and due to the competitive nature of the exploration business, the potential exists for conflicts of interest to occur from time to time that could



10





adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. Their employment with other entities in addition to limiting the amount of time they can dedicate to us as a director or officer, may present a conflict of interest in helping us identify and obtain the rights to mineral properties and as to other business opportunities because they may also be considering the same properties or opportunities for other companies they may work or consult for.


Damage to the environment could result from our operations.  If our business is involved in one or more of these hazards, we may be subject to claims of a significant size which could force us to cease our operations.


Mineral resource exploration, production and related operations are subject to extensive rules and regulations. Failure to comply with these rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties.  Our cost of doing business may be affected by the regulatory burden on the mineral industry since the rules and regulations frequently are amended or interpreted.  We cannot predict the future cost or impact of complying with these laws.


Environmental enforcement efforts with respect to mineral operations have increased over the years, and it is possible that regulation could expand and have a greater impact on future mineral exploration operations.  Although our management intends to comply with all legislation and/or actions of local, provincial, state and federal governments, non-compliance with applicable regulatory requirements could subject us to penalties, fines and regulatory actions, the cost of which could harm our results of operations.  We cannot be sure that our proposed business operations will not violate environmental laws in the future.


We are subject to extensive regulations relating to environmental protection, including the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of materials into the environment, and relating to safety and health. We will also have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation for all work undertaken which causes sufficient surface disturbance to necessitate reclamation work.   Other potential pollution or damage must be cleaned and renewed.  Our initial programs do not require any reclamation or remediation other than minor clean up and removal of supplies because of minimal disturbance to the ground.  The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration program we will undertake, beyond completion of the recommended phases.  Because there is presently no information on the size, tenor, or quality of any resource or reserve at this time, it is impossible to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on our earnings or competitive position in the event a potentially economic deposit is discovered.


Risks Relating to Our Common Stock


Since public trading in our common stock is limited and sporadic, there can be no assurance that our stockholders will be able to liquidate their holdings of our common stock.


Our common stock price is currently quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “BLXX”.  However, trading has been limited and sporadic and we can provide no assurance that the market for our common stock will be sustained.   We cannot guarantee that any stockholder will find a willing buyer for our common stock at any price, much less a price that will result in realizing a profit on an investment in our shares.  There may be limited opportunity for stockholders to liquidate any of their holdings in common stock of our company.  Trading volume may be insignificant and stockholders may be forced to hold their investment in our shares for an extended period of time.  The lack of liquidity may also cause stockholders to lose part or all of their investment in our common stock.


Since public trading in our common stock is limited and sporadic, the market price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations.


There is currently a limited public market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance that the market for our common stock will be sustained.  If a market is sustained, however, we anticipate that the market price of our common stock will be subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including:


·

actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations;

·

our ability or inability to generate revenues;

·

increased competition; and

·

conditions and trends in the mining industry.


Further, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance.  These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.




11





Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.


Under U.S. federal securities legislation, our common stock will constitute “penny stock”.  Penny stock is any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a potential  investor’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.  In order to approve an investor’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.  The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination.  Brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.  Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions.  Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.


The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted sales practice requirements which may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.


In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for 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 its shares.


We may, in the future, issue additional shares of common stock, which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.


Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 400,000,000 shares of common stock. As of June 16, 2016, we had 108,611,814 shares of common stock outstanding. Accordingly, we may issue up to an additional 291,388,186 shares of common stock. The future issuance of common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis.  The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.


State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell shares of our common stock.


Secondary trading in our common stock will not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or an exemption from registration is available for secondary trading in the state.  If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of our common stock in any particular state, the common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted thus causing you to realize a loss on your investment.


Our company is subject to Multilateral Instrument 51-105 as adopted by all jurisdictions in Canada except the Province of Ontario which, among other things, imposes certain resale restrictions and legending requirements on our shares.


As a reporting issuer in the Province of British Columbia, our company is subject to Multilateral Instrument 51-105 which regulates companies with certain connections to any jurisdiction in Canada other than the Province of Ontario that have a class of securities that has been assigned a ticker symbol by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority in the United States for use on any of the over-the-counter markets in the United States and includes a class of securities whose trades have been reported in the grey market.  In



12





addition to disclosure and reporting obligations required under MI 51-105, the instrument imposes certain resale requirements of private placement securities acquired after the ticker-symbol date including the following:


·

a four month period has passed from the date of distribution of the security (unless the person is a control person of the issuer in which case the person must hold the security for a period of at least 6 months);

·

the number of securities the person proposed to trade, plus the number of securities of the same class that the person has traded in the prior 12 months does not exceed 5% of the issuer’s outstanding securities of the same class;

·

the person trades the securities through an investment dealer registered in a jurisdiction in Canada;

·

the investment dealer executes the trade through any of the over-the-counter markets in the United States; and

·

the certificate representing the security bears a legend which states that the holder must not trade the securities of the issuer unless the conditions in Section 13 of MI 51-105 are met.


As a result, it may be difficult for our shareholders to resell their securities and may result in reducing demand for our shares and reduced trading activity of our stock.


Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.


We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. There is no assurance that stockholders will be able to sell shares when desired.

Properties


We do not own any real estate or other property used in the operation of our current business. Our principal executive offices are located at Suite 1500, 701 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V7Y 1C6. We pay rent of C$1,300 per month, to an unrelated third party to lease our office premises, which cover an area of approximately 200 square feet. We believe that this space is sufficient until we are able to generate significant revenues, if at all, and hire more employees.


We do not have any ownership or lease interests in any property other than our interest in the Mansounia Property described above in Item 1.


Item 3.

Legal Proceedings


There are no pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or in which any director, officer or affiliate of our company, or any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of our company is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to our company.  Our property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.

As of June 16, 2016, we had 108,611,814 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding held by 34 holders of record.


Dividends


The payment of dividends, if any, in the future, rests within the sole discretion of our board of directors. The payment of dividends will depend upon our earnings, our capital requirements and our financial condition, as well as other relevant factors. We have not declared any cash dividends since our inception and have no present intention of paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.


There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws, nor are we subject to any contractual restrictions, that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:


1.

We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or


2.

Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

On February 27, 2014, our board of directors adopted a new Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to purchase shares of our common stock to our directors, officers, employees and consultants. The Plan is administered by our board of directors, except that it may, in its discretion, delegate such responsibility to a committee comprised of at least two directors. A maximum of 10,000,000 shares are reserved and set aside for issuance under the Plan. Each option, upon its exercise, entitles the optionee to acquire one share of our common stock, upon payment of the applicable exercise price. The exercise price will be determined by the board of directors at the time of grant. Stock options may be granted under the Plan for an exercise period of up to ten years from the date of grant of the option or such lesser periods as may be determined by the board, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of the Plan.


Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities


Since the beginning of our fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, we have not sold any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 that were not previously reported in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q or in a current report on Form 8-K.


Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this annual report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 10-K.


Overview


We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 21, 2005. Following incorporation, we were engaged in the exploration of early-stage mineral properties. However, we were not successful in developing our mineral property interests and thus began to investigate other business opportunities in order to maximize shareholder value. As a result, we entered into the Amalgamation Agreement with Eco Endeavors, which closed on February 27, 2014.


Following the closing of the Amalgamation Agreement, we focused on the business carried on by Amalco, which operated as a renewable energy company that indirectly owned an operating biogas plant in Hungary. It was also engaged in the development of renewable energy projects and intended to expand into the provision of renewable energy services.  Amalco operated a 1.14 MW biogas plant located just outside of Budapest, Hungary. The plant served as a pilot project to demonstrate the potential for similar use of renewable energy in a variety of regions and climates.


Due to uneconomic conditions brought on by political and economic forces in Hungary we deemed it necessary and in the best interest of our company to cease operations at our Kenderes Biogas Plant in Hungary, which has been moved to Africa where we will look to



15





provide energy to mining projects.  We completed the sale of our wholly-owned Hungarian subsidiary and any assets that we deemed to be uneconomical to move were sold off. 


On August 6, 2014, we announced that we entered into a Deed of Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated July 24, 2014  with Joseph Boampong Memorial Institute Ltd. and Equus Mining Ltd., Burey Gold Guinee sarl and Burey Gold Limited  and, collectively with EML and BGGs, (pursuant to which we agreed to assume JBMIL's right to acquire a 78% beneficial interest in the Mansounia Concession . We also announced that we had exercised that right and had acquired a 78% beneficial interest in the Mansounia Property.


Plan of Operation


Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to commence a feasibility study on our Mansounia Property in order to obtain an exploitation permit, which management anticipates will allow us the exclusive right to mine and dispose of minerals for 15 years, with a possible 5 year extension, subject to our obtaining the necessary funding.


Going Concern


Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and to allow us to continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of $8,925,089.  Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to continue obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until we become profitable. If we are unable to obtain adequate capital, we could be forced to significantly curtail or cease operations.


We will need to raise additional funds to finance continuing operations. However, there are no assurances that we will be successful in raising additional funds. Without sufficient additional financing, it would be unlikely for us to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in this annual report and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.


Results of Operations


Years Ended March 31, 2016 and 2015


The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 which are included herein.

Net Loss for the year

(875,294)

(2,164,620)


We incurred a net loss of $875,294 ($0.01 loss per share) for the year ended March 31, 2016, compared to $2,164,620 ($0.02 loss per share) for the year ended March 31, 2015.  We maintain lower level of activities as we are currently relying on shareholder loans to finance our operations.


Total consulting and professional fee incurred were $272,070for the year ended March 31, 2016 (2015 - $753,359). The decrease in consulting fee during fiscal 2016 is primarily due to the lower corporate activities compared to the same period in 2015. The consulting fee includes amortization of prepaid consulting services that arose when our stock was issued as compensation for a former director’s consulting services. The prepaid consulting fees were amortized over a period of 18 months beginning in April 2014.  


Total office and administration expenses incurred were $47,681 for the year ended March 31, 2016 (2015 - $217,089). We have implemented a cost reduction policy due to our limited funding. The expenses on filing, rent, administration, accounting, meal and travel have been minimized as much as possible.   Stock based compensation expensed was $607,652 for the year ended March 31, 2016 (2015 - $610,034).   


The exploration costs expenses of $7,411 during the year ended March 31, 2016 (2015 - $Nil) were for analyzing the samples of the drilling result from Mansounia Concession.


Management anticipates operating expenses will materially increase in future periods as we focus on green mineral development and incur the associated costs as a result of being a public company with a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Current Assets


The decrease in current assets as of March 31, 2016 compared to March 31, 2015 was primarily due to a decrease in cash by $11,315 and a decrease in prepaid expenses to $9,341 from $43,952, as a result of the amortization of prepaid consulting fee.


Current Liabilities  


Current liabilities as at March 31, 2016 increased by $220,141 due to an increase in the accrued loan payable from $91,774 to $363,283, which was offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $50,007.  


Cash Flow

Operating activities


The decrease in net cash used in operating activities from 2015 to 2016 was primarily as a result of substantial decreases in consulting and professional fees in fiscal 2016.


Investing activities


The higher amount of cash used in investing activities in 2015 compared to 2016 was primarily due to the acquisition of the Mansounia Property for cash consideration of $150,000.  


Financing activities


The increased net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2016 compared to fiscal 2015 was mainly attributable to proceeds from a loan provided by a shareholder.


Critical Accounting Policies


(i)

Determination of functional currencies


In determining our functional currency, we periodically review our primary and secondary indicators to assess the primary economic environment in which the entity operates in determining our functional currencies.  We analyze the currency that mainly influences labor, material and other costs of providing goods or services which is often the currency in which such costs are denominated and settled.  We also analyze secondary indicators such as the currency in which funds from financing activities such as equity issuances are generated and the funding dependency of the parent company whose predominant transactional currency is the Canadian dollar. Determining our predominant economic environment requires significant judgment.


(ii)

Going Concern


Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred a comprehensive loss of $875,294 and $2,488,976 for the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $8,925,089. These factors raise substantial concern about the ability of our company to continue as a going concern. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, the ability of our company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations.  Our 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 we be unable to continue as a going concern. Management of our company has undertaken steps as part of a plan to sustain operations for the next fiscal year including plans to raise additional equity financing, controlling costs and reducing operating losses.


(iii)

Useful life of equipment


Each significant component of an item of equipment is depreciated over its estimated useful life.  Estimated useful lives are determined based on current facts and past experience, and take into consideration the anticipated physical life of the asset, existing long-term sales agreements and contracts, current and forecasted demand, the potential technological obsolescence, and regulations.


Cash Requirements


Our current cash position is not sufficient to meet our present and near-term cash needs.  We will require additional cash resources, including the sale of equity or debt securities, to meet our planned capital expenditures and working capital requirements.  For the next 12 months we estimate that our capital needs will be $250,000 to $500,000 and we currently have approximately $8,200 in cash.  We



18





will seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities.   In addition, by Agreement dated April 29, 2016, Waratah Capital Ltd. agreed to increase its bridge loan from C$600,000 to C$1,500,000 for our general working capital costs.  The sale of additional equity securities will result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness will result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that could restrict our operations or modify our plans to grow the business. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Directors and Stockholders of

Blox, Inc.



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Blox, Inc. as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included 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 the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Blox, Inc. as at March 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company incurred losses from operations since inception, has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its operating activities. These conditions 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 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)



1.

Description of Business


Blox, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on July 21, 2005 under the laws of the state of Nevada. The address of the Company is #1500, 701 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7Y 1C6, Canada. The Company is primarily engaged in developing mineral exploration projects in Africa.


On February 27, 2014, the Company completed a business combination with International Eco Endeavors Corp. (“Eco Endeavors”) which was renamed “Blox Energy Inc.” During the year ended March 31, 2015, the Company discontinued operations in Europe and disposed of Blox Energy Inc.’s subsidiary, Kenderesh Endeavors Corp.


2.

Basis of Presentation


(a)

Statement of Compliance


These financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("US GAAP") and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company's fiscal year-end is March 31.


(b)

Basis of Presentation


The consolidated financial statements of the Company comprise the Company and its subsidiaries. These consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis. These consolidated financial statements have also been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring ones) considered necessary for fair value have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.


(c)

Reporting and Functional Currencies


The functional currency of an entity is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the Company is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”). The Company’s reporting currency is the US dollar.


Transactions:


Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries using period end foreign currency exchange rates and expenses are translated using the exchange rate approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions during the reporting periods in which the expenses were transacted. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at their historical foreign currency exchange rates. Gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in the determination of net income or loss for the period.

(c)

Reporting and Functional Currencies (Continued)


Translations:


Foreign currency financial statements are translated into the Company’s reporting currency, the US dollar as follows:


(i)

All of the assets and liabilities are translated at the rate of exchange in effect on the balance sheet date;


(ii)

Expenses are translated at the exchange rate approximating those in effect on the date of the transactions; and


(iii)

Exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in other comprehensive income.

(d)

Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates


The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the period.  Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and may affect both the period of revision and future periods.


In applying the Company's accounting policies, management has made certain judgments that may have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements. Such judgments include the determination of the functional currencies and use of the going concern assumption.


(i)

Determination of Functional Currencies


In determining the Company's functional currency, it periodically reviews its primary and secondary indicators to assess the primary economic environment in which the entity operates in determining the Company's functional currencies.  The Company analyzes the currency that mainly influences labor, material and other costs of providing goods or services which is often the currency in which such costs are denominated and settled.  The Company also analyzes secondary indicators such as the currency in which funds from financing activities such as equity issuances are generated and the funding dependency of the parent company whose predominant transactional currency is the Canadian dollar. Determining the Company's predominant economic environment requires significant judgment.


(ii)

Going Concern


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 incurred a net loss of $875,294 and $2,164,620 for the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and has incurred cumulative losses since inception of $8,925,089 (2015 - $8,049,795).

(ii)

Going Concern (Continued)


These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as going concern. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary debt and/or equity financing to continue 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. Management of the Company has undertaken steps as part of a plan to sustain operations for the next fiscal year including plans to raise additional equity financing, controlling costs and reducing operating losses. Waratah Capital Ltd. agreed to provide a bridge loan to finance the required working capital (Note 9).

Significant Accounting Policies


(a)

Foreign Currency Accounting


(i)

Foreign Currency Transactions


Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of the Company's entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical costs in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognized in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the translation of available-for-sale financial instruments, which are recognized in other comprehensive income.


(ii)

Foreign Operations


The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to U.S. dollars at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.  Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.  When a foreign operation is disposed of, the relevant amount in the accumulated other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.


(b)

Cash


Cash includes cash deposited at banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

(c)

Financial Instruments


Financial assets


All financial assets are initially recorded at fair value and classified upon inception into one of the following four categories: held to maturity, available for sale, loans and receivables or at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).


Financial assets classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized through earnings. The Company’s cash is classified as FVTPL.


Financial assets classified as loans and receivables and held to maturity assets are measured at amortized cost. Financial assets classified as available for sale are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income and loss except for losses in value that are considered other than temporary which are recognized in earnings.


Transactions costs associated with FVTPL financial assets are expensed as incurred, while transaction costs associated with all other financial assets are included in the initial carrying amount of the asset.


A financial asset is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is considered to be impaired if objective evidence indicates that one or more events have had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset.


An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortized cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate.


Individually significant financial assets are tested for impairment on an individual basis. The remaining financial assets are assessed collectively in groups that share similar credit risk characteristics.


An impairment loss is reversed if the reversal can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized. For financial assets measured at amortized cost, this reversal is recognized in profit or loss.


Financial liabilities


All financial liabilities are initially recorded at fair value and classified upon inception as FVTPL or other financial liabilities.


Financial liabilities classified as other financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period. The Company’s liabilities are classified as other financial liabilities.

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


(c)

Financial Instruments (Continued)


Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as FVTPL. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading and recognized at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Fair value changes on financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are recognized in earnings. The Company is not exposed to any derivative instruments and foreign exchange hedges in place at this time.


(d)

Equipment


Equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any.  Depreciation is provided at rates and methods designed to write off cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:


 

Office equipment

30%

declining balance


Management reviews the depreciation method, useful lives and residual values annually and accounts for any changes in estimates on a prospective basis. Where an item of plant and equipment comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of production facility, and depreciated separately.


(e)

Impairment of Non-Financial Assets


The Company accounts for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets according to the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB’) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360 “Property Plant and Equipment”. ASC 360 clarifies the accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of, including the disposal of business segments and major lines of business. Long-lived assets are reviewed when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. When necessary, impaired assets are written down to estimated fair value based on the best information available. Estimated fair value is generally based on either appraised value or measured by discounting estimated future cash flows. Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate discounted future cash flows. Accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.


Impairment tests on intangible assets with indefinite useful economic lives are undertaken annually at the financial year end.  Other non-financial assets are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable.  Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its fair value, the asset is written down accordingly.


(f)

Decommissioning Liabilities


A legal or constructive obligation to incur restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs may arise when environmental disturbance is caused by the operation of an alternative energy plant.  Such costs arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work, discounted to their net present value, are provided for and capitalized to the carrying amount of the asset, as soon as the obligation to incur such costs arises.  A pre-tax discount rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability are used to calculate the net present value of the expected future cash flows.  These costs are charged to profit on loss over the economic life of the related asset, through depreciation expense using relevant amortization method.  The related liability is progressively increased each period as the effect of discounting unwinds, creating an expense recognized in profit on loss.  The liability is assessed at each reporting date for changes to the current market-based discount rate, amount or timing of the underlying cash flows needed to settle the obligation.


The Company has no material restoration, rehabilitation and environmental costs as the disturbance to date is minimal.

(g)

Income Taxes


Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method, future tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the amounts reported in the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Future tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted income tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized or the liability settled. The effect of a change in income tax rates on future income tax liabilities and assets is recognized in income in the period that the change occurs. Future income tax assets are recognized to the extent that they are considered more likely than not to be realized.


The FASB has issued ASC 740 “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. This standard requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.


As a result of the implementation of this standard, the Company performed a review of its material tax positions in accordance with recognition and measurement standards established by ASC 740 and concluded that the tax position of the Company has not met the more-likely-than-not threshold as of March 31, 2016.


(h)

 Loss per Share


The Company computes loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share”, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted loss per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted loss per share 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 loss per share, the average stock price for the period issued in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted loss per share excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.


(i)

Stock Based Compensation


The Company accounts for Stock-Based Compensation under ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, which addresses the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, with a primary focus on transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. ASC 718-10 requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). Incremental compensation costs arising from subsequent modifications of awards after the grant date must be recognized.


The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards to non-employees in accordance with ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees”. Under ASC 505-50, the Company determines the fair value of the warrants or stock-based compensation awards granted as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Any stock options or warrants issued to non-employees are recorded in expense and additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity over the applicable service periods using variable accounting through the vesting dates based on the fair value of the options or warrants at the end of each period.

Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


(i)

Stock Based Compensation (continued)


The Company issues stock to consultants for various services. The value of the common stock is measured at the earlier of (i) the date at which a firm commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached or (ii) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete. The Company recognized consulting expense and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services.


4.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements


The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

Mineral Property Interest


The Company has entered into a Deed of Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated July 24, 2014 (the "Assumption Agreement") among Joseph Boampong Memorial Institute Ltd. ("JBMIL") and Equus Mining Ltd. ("EML"), Burey Gold Guinee sarl ("BGGs") and Burey Gold Limited ("BGL") and, collectively with EML and BGGs, (the "Vendors"), pursuant to which the Company has agreed to assume JBMIL's right to acquire a 78% beneficial interest in the Mansounia Concession (the "Property") from the Vendors. The Company also announced that it has exercised that right and has acquired a 78% beneficial interest in the Property.


The Property lies in the southwest margin of the Siguiri Basin, in the Kouroussa Prefecture, Kankan Region, in Guinea, West Africa and covers a surface area of 145 square kilometres. The Property is located approximately 80 kilometres west, by road, from the country's third largest city, Kankan.


An exploration permit for the Property was granted by the Ministère des Mines et de la Géologie on August 20, 2013. As part of its due diligence, the Company obtained a legal opinion which confirmed that the license was in good standing at the time of acquisition. It is the Company's intention to obtain an exploitation permit to allow the Company the right to mine and dispose of minerals for 15 years, with a possible 5-year extension. The Company has commenced work on the feasibility study required for obtaining this permit.


In consideration for the acquisition of the interest in the Property, the Company has paid in cash $100,000 to BGL and $40,000 to EML and issued BGL and EML an aggregate of 6,514,350 shares of common stock of the Company (the "First Tranche Shares"), at a deemed price of $0.1765 per share, for an aggregate deemed value of $1,150,000. The First Tranche Shares were issued to BGL and EML in the proportions of 71.43% and 28.57%, respectively. For accounting purposes, the Company recorded the cash payment of $140,000, and $10,000 for an independent valuation of the Property. Additionally, $781,722 was capitalized to mineral property interests, being the fair value of the first tranche of shares. The fair value of the first tranche shares was based on the closing price of the Company’s shares on the OTCQB on July 24, 2014.


Within 14 days of commercial gold production being publicly declared from ore mined from the Property, the Company will issue BGL and EML a second tranche of shares of common stock of the Company (the "Second Tranche Shares"). The number of Second Tranche Shares to be issued shall be calculated by dividing $1,150,000 by the volume weighted average share price of the Company's common stock over a 20-day period preceding the issuance date. The Second Tranche Shares shall be issued to BGL and EML in the proportions of 71.43% and 28.57%, respectively.


During the 2016 fiscal year, the Company has been working on finalizing Mansounia prolongation application and moving into pre-feasibility study phase. The expenses towards a metallurgical sampling and study for the year ended March 31, 2016 were $7,411 (2015 - $Nil).


On May 6, 2016 (subsequent to year-end), the Company arranged the annual claim fee for $5,800 to maintain the property in a good standing.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments


The following provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which fair value is observable:


Level 1 – fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;


Level 2 – fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and


Level 3 – fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).


Level 2 and 3 financial instruments are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment to estimation. Valuations based on unobservable inputs are highly subjective and require significant judgments. Changes in such judgments could have a material impact on fair value estimates. In addition, since estimates are as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible to material near-term changes. Changes in economic conditions may also dramatically affect the estimated fair values.


The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy:

Controls and Procedures


Disclosure Controls and Procedures


As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, these disclosure controls and procedures were adequate to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include controls and  procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.


Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting


Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management conducted an assessment, based upon criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our internal controls over financial reporting were effective as of March 31, 2016.


Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.


Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting


There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance


Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, to file reports regarding ownership of, and transactions in, our securities with the SEC and to provide us with copies of those filings.  Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons we believe that during the year ended March 31, 2016 all filing requirements applicable to our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock were complied with.


Code of Ethics


We have not adopted a code of ethics because our board of directors believes that our small size does not merit the expense of preparing, adopting and administering a code of ethics. Our board of directors intends to adopt a code of ethics when circumstances warrant.


Committees of Board of Directors


We do not presently have a separately constituted compensation committee, nominating committee, or any other committees of our board of directors, other than our Audit Committee. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our board of directors.


We do not have any defined policy or procedure requirements for our stockholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. We do not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to our board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. Our board of directors assesses all candidates, whether submitted by management or stockholders, and makes recommendations for election or appointment.


A stockholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request to the address appearing on the first page of this annual report.


Audit Committee Financial Expert


Our board of directors has determined that Ronald Renne qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions


Transactions with Related Persons


Other than as disclosed below, there has been no transaction, since April 1, 2015, or currently proposed transaction, in which our company was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of our total assets at March 31, 2016, and in which any of the following persons had or will have a direct or indirect material interest:

Compensation for Executive Officers and Directors


For information regarding compensation for our executive officers and directors, see “Executive Compensation”.


Director Independence


Our board currently consists of three directors, being Ronald Renne, Chairman, Robert Spiers, Chief Executive Officer and Trevor Pickett, Chief Operating Officer.  Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board operated by FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority), which does not impose any director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ rule 5605(a)(2), a director is not independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation or was, at any time during the past three years, employed by the corporation. Using this definition of independent director, we do not currently have any independent directors.


Item 14.

Principal Accounting Fees and Services


The following table sets forth the fees billed to our company for the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 for professional services rendered by Morgan and Company LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm:

All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by our board of directors before the respective services were rendered.


Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by Morgan and Company LLP, and believe that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining its respective independence.


Audit Committee Disclosure


Under Canadian National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”) reporting issuers are required to provide disclosure with respect to its Audit Committee.


Audit Committee


Our board has an Audit Committee established in accordance with section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. It currently consists of all three directors, being Ronald Renne, Robert Spiers and Trevor Pickett, and oversees and reports to the Board of Directors on various auditing and accounting-related matters, including the maintenance of the integrity of our financial statements, reporting process and internal controls; the selection, evaluation, compensation and retention of our independent registered public accounting firm; the performance of internal audit; legal and regulatory compliance, including our disclosure controls and procedures; and oversight over our risk management policies and procedures.


Ronald Renne serves as chairman of this committee and has been determined by our Board to be an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under the rules of the SEC.


Audit Committee Oversight


At no time since the commencement of our most recently completed financial year was a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor not adopted by our board.


Reliance on Certain Exemptions


At no time since the commencement of our most recently completed financial year have we relied on the exemption in Section 2.4 of NI 52-110 (De Minimis Non-audit Services), or an exemption from NI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted under Part 8 of NI 52-110.


Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures


The Audit Committee is authorized by the Board to review the performance of our external auditors and approve in advance provision of services other than auditing and to consider the independence of the external auditors, including a review of the range of services provided in the context of all consulting services bought by our company.


Corporate Governance


General


Our board believes that good corporate governance improves corporate performance and benefits all shareholders. Canadian National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines provides non-prescriptive guidelines on corporate governance practices for reporting issuers such as our company. In addition, Canadian National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices prescribes certain disclosure by us of its corporate governance practices. This disclosure is presented below.

Directorships


Our directors currently hold directorships and/or offices with other reporting issuers (or equivalent) as follows:

The participation of the current directors in other reporting issuers is as follows:


Name of Director

Name of Other Reporting Issuer

Ronald Renne

AMI Resources Inc. (TSX.V)

Orientation and Continuing Education


New board members receive an orientation package which includes reports on operations and results, and any public disclosure filings by us, as may be applicable. We do not take any steps to provide continuing education for directors.


Ethical Business Conduct


We have found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by our governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of our board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the board operates in the best interests of our company.


Nomination of Directors


We consider our size each year when we consider the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out our board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of view and experience.


We do not have a nominating committee, and these functions are currently performed by our board as a whole.


Compensation


Our board is responsible for determining compensation for the directors of our company to ensure it reflects the responsibilities and risks of being a director of a public company.


Other Board Committees


We have no committees other than our Audit Committee.


Assessments


We have no formal policy to monitor the effectiveness of the directors, our board and our committees.
