DAKOTA TERRITORY RESOURCES CORP

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2020

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Dakota Territory Resource Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”, the “Corporation”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended March 31, 2020 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 as reported in our annual report on Form 10-K, have been omitted.

 

The Company’s absence of revenues, its experience of recurring losses from operations, and its need for significant additional financing to fund its projected 2020 loss raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Note 2—Related Party Transactions

 

The Company regularly engages in related party transactions that involve its officers and directors and/or companies controlled by the officers and directors. Following is an analysis of related party transactions:

 

Mr. Gerald Aberle (“Mr. Aberle”) is the Company’s president, chief executive officer and chief operating officer. He is also a director and significant stockholder of the Company and the owner of Jerikodie, Inc. Under a February 2012 agreement, Jreikodie Inc. earns a fixed consulting fee of $9,000 per month, plus approved expenses. During both the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, Jerikodie, Inc. earned consulting fees of $27,000 and $27,000 respectively, and submitted approved expense of $1,215 and $1,215, respectively. At June 30, 2020 and March 30, 2020, Mr. Aberle and Jerikode, Inc., on a combined basis, are owed accrued consulting/salary and approved expenses of $729,500 and $720,000, respectively, which amounts are included in accounts payable – related party in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

At June 30, 2020 Mr. Aberle, has made unsecured loans to the company totaling $20,500. These unsecured loans bear interest of 3% per year and are due on demand or past due. At June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the balance of these unsecured loans was $20,500, which balances are included in notes payable to related parties in the accompanying balance sheet. In July 2020, Mr. Aberle was paid in full for these unsecured loans and related accrued interest of $671.

 

Mr. Richard Bachman (“Mr. Bachman”) serves as the Company’s chief geological officer. He is also a director and significant stockholder of the Company and owns of Minera Teles Pires Inc. Under an October 2005 agreement, Minera Teles Pires Inc. earns a $10,000 monthly consulting fee and receives $1,500 per month for office rent and expenses. The consulting fee is divided between a $5,000 per month cash payment and a $5,000 per month deferred amount, payable when adequate financing is obtained to support its payment. At June 30, 2020 and March 30, 2020, Mr. Bachman and Minera Teles Pires Inc., on a combined basis, are owed accrued consulting fees and rent reimbursement of approximately $920,000, which balances are included in accounts payable – related party in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

At June 30, 2020, Mr. Bachman has made unsecured loans to the Company totaling $265,000. These unsecured loans bear interest at rates ranging from 3% to 4% per year and are due on demand or past due. At June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the balance of these unsecured loans was $265,000 and $305,145, respectively, which balances are included in notes payable to related parties in the accompanying balance sheets. At June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, accrued interest on these loans was $77,697 and $81,164, respectively, and included in Notes payable to related parties in the accompanying balance sheets..

 

At June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Company owes Mr. Chris Mathers, the Company’s chief financial officer $151,000 for accrued consulting fees. These balances are included in accounts payable – related party in the accompanying balance sheets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2020

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 2—Related Party Transactions, continued

 

In September 2018, Mr. Stephen T. O’Rourke, a director of the Company, purchased 750,000 shares of our common stock in a private placement for $75,000. Additionally, Mr. O’Rourke, through his consulting firm, entered into a one-year consulting agreement with the Company (i) in September 2018 whereby he was issued a consulting fee of 1,000,000 shares for services rendered, and (ii) in September 2019 whereby he was issued a five-year option to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.08 per share.

 

Messrs. Aberle and Bachman own a 5% net smelter return royalty on the original eighty-four unpatented mining claims comprising the Blind Gold Property.

 

Note 3—Mineral Properties

 

On September 26, 2012, the Company was re-organized with North Homestake Mining Company. With this re-organization, the Company acquired 84 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 1,600 acres known as the Blind Gold Property located in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

 

On December 28, 2012, the Company acquired 57 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 853 acres known as the West False Bottom Creek and Paradise Gulch Claim Group, the City Creek Claims Group, and the Homestake Paleoplacer Claims Group, all located in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The West False Bottom Creek and Paradise Gulch Claims were contiguous to the Blind Gold Property and have been incorporated into the Blind Gold Property. The purchase price was 1,000,000 restricted common shares valued at $0.15 per share, or $150,000.

 

On February 24, 2014 the Company acquired surface and mineral title to the 26.16 acres of the Squaw and Rubber Neck Lodes that comprise Mineral Survey 1706 in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The Company is required to make annual lease payments of $8,000 for a period of 5 years, of which $8,000 was due upon execution of the agreement. On May 7, 2019, the Company extended the lease with option to purchase agreement for Mineral Survey 1706 for an additional 5-year period. The property is part of the Homestake Paleoplacer Property, and the Company has maintained the option to purchase the mineral property for $150,000.

 

On March 3, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of approximately 565.24 mineral acres in the Northern Black Hills of South Dakota. The acquisition increased our mineral interests in the Homestake District by nearly 23%, to over 3,057 acres. As part of the property acquisition, the Company purchased an additional 64.39 mineral acres located immediately southwest and contiguous to our Paleoplacer Property, including mineral title to the historic Gustin, Minerva and Deadbroke Gold Mines. The purchase price of the mineral interests was $33,335.

 

On April 5, 2017, the Company acquired options to purchase a combination of surface and mineral titles to 284 acres in the Homestake District of the Northern Black Hills of South Dakota. The acquisition included 61 acres located immediately south and contiguous with our City Creek Property; 82 acres located approximately one half mile south of our Blind Gold Property at the western fringe of the historic Maitland Gold Mine; and 141 acres located immediately north and contiguous to our Homestake Paleoplacer Property. The Company is required to make annual lease payments totaling $20,000 for a period of 5 years, of which $20,000 was due upon execution of the agreement. The Company has an option to purchase the mineral properties for total price of $626,392. As of June 30, 2020, the Company is current on all required annual lease payments.

 

In November 2018, we acquired 42 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 718 acres located immediately to the north and adjacent to the Company’s City Creek Property. Through this staking, the City Creek project area was expanded from approximately 449 acres to 1,167 acres.

 

In September 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of 106 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 1,167 acres in close proximity to the historic Tinton Gold Camp. The Tinton area was the site of placer mining activity between 1876 and the turn of the century.

Note 3—Mineral Properties, continued

 

On March 6, 2020, the Company acquired 65 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 1,152 acres in the Homestake District of the Black Hills of South Dakota. The property is contiguous to the Company's Blind Gold Property and is the subject to historic prospecting activity that we believe suggests the occurrence of gold and/or silver mineralization at multiple locales on the property. We believe that the property is also a target for Pre-Cambrian Homestake style gold mineralization under the younger cover rocks based on the Company’s projections of the Homestake stratigraphic sequence (Ellison, Homestake, and Poorman Formations) and inversion modeling of geophysical survey data completed by our technical team in late 2018.

 

On May 18, 2020, the Company increased its land holdings in the Black Hills through the staking of 70 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 1,120 acres located on the western margin of the structural corridor that extends north of the Homestake Gold Mine. The West Corridor property is located just south of the mineral property Dakota Territory acquired from Deadbroke Mining Company in the Maitland Area in March of 2014, just north of the producing Wharf Mine (Coeur Mining) and just to the south and east of the former Richmond Hill Mine (Barrick Gold). We believe that the Property is a target for both Homestake Iron Formation hosted gold mineralization under the cover of younger sedimentary and igneous rocks that also host tertiary-aged replacement gold and silver mineralization in the area.

 

We are flying a broad high definition airborne geophysical survey to enhance our current drill targets, as well as to screen other areas of interest for additional targets. We believe the Homestake District holds exceptional discovery potential and it is our intent to continue to establish a dominant land position and consolidate the systematic exploration of the district within our Company.

Note 4—Notes Payable

 

JR Resources Corp.

 

In February 2020, we entered into a $300,000 unsecured promissory note agreement with JR Resources Corp. (“JR”). The note bore interest at 3.0% per year and was due May 5, 2021. In May 2020, JR and the Company entered into an amended and restated promissory note in the amount of $1,450,000, which includes the $300,000 that was advanced in February 2020 and an additional $1,150,000 that was advanced in May 2020. The amended and restated unsecured note bears interest at 0.25% per year, compounded annually, and matures on December 31, 2021. At maturity, the principal amount of the note, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, will be due and payable in cash, provided that, if and to the extent that the Company does not pay this note in cash on the maturity date, then JR will be required to exercise, and will in fact be deemed to have exercised, its right to convert such unpaid portion of the note into shares of Company common stock. The conversion price is $0.15 per share through December 31, 2020 and, thereafter, the lesser of $0.15 per share on the volume weighted average price of Company common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of such conversion (with a floor of $0.10 per share). The note has customary event of default provisions and, upon an event of default, JR will be required to convert the unpaid portion of the note into the shares of Company common stock, if not paid in cash by the Company.

 

Concurrent with the above note, the Company and JR entered into an option agreement, providing JR the option to acquire up to 142,566,667 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share. The option agreement expires October 15, 2020 and can be exercised in part or in full, as further described in the agreement.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2020

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 4—Notes Payable, continued

 

The proceeds from the debt issuance were allocated between the debt instrument and the purchase option based on their estimated relative fair values (management calculated the initial estimated fair values, to be followed up with a third-party valuation). The Company estimated that $1,305,000 of the total proceeds was allocable to the purchase option and recognized through a charge to additional paid-in capital with a corresponding discount on the debt. The debt discount will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the note using the effective interest method. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized additional interest expense of approximately $67,000 related to amortization of the debt discount.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our forward-looking statements. Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

Overview

 

Our goal is to create shareholder value through the acquisition, responsible exploration and future development of high caliber gold properties in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Our management and technical teams have more than 50 combined years of mining and exploration experience in the Black Hills with Homestake Mining Company, which we believe has uniquely positioned Dakota Territory to leverage our direct experience and knowledge of past exploration endeavors to focus our programs at the point where Homestake Mining Company left off in the 1990’s.

 

We believe that the Black Hills of South Dakota has yielded approximately 44.6 million ounces of gold production from a 100 square mile area known as the Homestake District. Despite the gold endowment of the area, we believe the District is generally underexplored and lacks a concerted effort to search for gold under the cover of younger sedimentary and igneous rocks that dominate the surface. The Black Hills of South Dakota is a safe low-cost jurisdiction with well-developed mining infrastructure and is a jurisdiction in which regulatory authorities have consistently demonstrated a willingness to work with responsible operators to permit well-planned compliant projects.

 

Since 2012, we have consistently pursued a strategy of expanding our portfolio of brownfields exploration properties located exclusively within the Homestake District to build a dominant land position with the goal of consolidating the remaining mineral potential. Our property acquisitions have been based on our past exploration experiences, the extensive data sets we have assembled over the past 8 years, and new research the Company has conducted on the gold system that created the District. Dakota Territory currently holds four brownfield exploration project areas in the district comprised of unpatented claims and a combination of surface and mineral leases covering a total of approximately 7,166 mineral acres. We have not established that any of our projects or properties contain any proven or probable reserves under SEC Industry Guide 7.

 

Current Plan of Operations

 

Our planned operations during fiscal 2021 are focussed on advancing our Blind Gold, City Creek, Tinton and Homestake Paleoplacer gold exploration properties and to continue to build on our overall property position in the Homestake District of the Black Hills of South Dakota.

 

We are flying a broad high definition airborne geophysical survey to enhance our current drill targets, as well as to screen other areas of interest within the district. We have budgeted for several field sampling /mapping programs and to continue to locate and add to our extensive data sets. We have planned to complete site preparations, and to conduct our first drill program on the Paleoplacer Property. Additionally, our budget provides for the commencement of necessary permit work for the Blind Gold and City Creek Properties and provides for our general operating expenses and the maintenance of the Company’s Mining Claims and leases.

Our operations for fiscal year 2021 are planned and budgeted at approximately $1,450,000.

 

Since we are an exploration stage company and have not generated revenues to date, our cash flow projections are subject to numerous contingencies and risk factors beyond our control, including exploration and development risks, competition from well-funded competitors, and our ability to manage growth. We can offer no assurance that our expenses will not exceed our projections.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2020, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $1,350,000 and our accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2020 was approximately $5,723,000. We had a net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 of approximately $346,000.

 

In February 2020, we entered into a $300,000 unsecured promissory note agreement with JR Resources Corp. (“JR”). The note bore interest at 3.0% per year and was due May 5, 2021. In May 2020, JR and the Company entered into an amended and restated promissory note in the amount of $1,450,000, which includes the $300,000 that was advanced in February 2020 and an additional $1,150,000 that was advanced in May 2020. The amended and restated unsecured note bears interest at 0.25% per year, compounded annually, and matures on December 31, 2021. At maturity, the principal amount of the note, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, will be due and payable in cash, provided that, if and to the extent that the Company does not pay this note in cash on the maturity date, then JR will be required to exercise, and will in fact be deemed to have exercised, its right to convert such unpaid portion of the note into shares of Company common stock. The conversion price is $0.15 per share through December 31, 2020 and, thereafter, the lesser of $0.15 per share and the volume weighted average price of Company common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of such conversion (with a floor of $0.10 per share). The note has customary event of default provisions and, upon an event of default, JR will be required to convert the unpaid portion of the note into the shares of Company common stock, if not paid prior thereto in cash by the Company.

 

During our fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, we plan to spend approximately $90,000 for field programs, $410,000 for geophysical surveys, and approximately $650,000 for expenses related to land acquisition. The timing of these expenditures is dependent upon a number of factors, including the availability of contractors. We estimate that general and administrative expenses during fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 will be approximately $300,000 to include payroll, legal and accounting services and other general and other expenses necessary to conduct our operations.

 

We have no employees. Our management, all of whom are consultants, conduct our operations. Given the early stage of our exploration properties, we intend to continue to outsource our professional and personnel requirements by retaining consultants on an as needed basis. However, if we are successful in our initial and any subsequent drilling programs, we may retain employees.

 

We currently do not have sufficient funds to complete exploration and development work on our properties, which means that we will be required to raise additional capital, enter into joint venture relationships or find alternative means to finance placing one or more of our properties into commercial production, if warranted. In May 2020, the Company granted JR the right to acquire up to 142,566,667 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.15 per share (up to $21,385,000, reduced by the amount of the $1,450,000 note converted). There is no assurance that JR will purchase any or all of these shares on or prior to October 15, 2020, the expiration of this purchase right. If JR exercises all or a portion of this purchase right, the Company will utilize these proceeds to fund potential acquisitions and for working capital and other corporate purposes. Failure to obtain sufficient financing may result in the delay or indefinite postponement of exploration and development. We cannot be certain that additional capital or other types of financing will be available when needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable or acceptable to us. Our ability to arrange additional financing in the future will depend, in part, on the prevailing capital market conditions as well as our business performance.

 

In June 2020, outstanding warrants entitling the holders to purchase an aggregate of 3,300,000 shares of common stock were exercised. We received proceeds in the amount of $330,000 from the exercise of these warrants. These shares were issued in July and August 2020.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

 

We had no operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. We are not currently profitable. As a result of ongoing operating losses, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $5,723,000 as of June 30, 2020.

 

Our exploration costs were approximately $126,000 and $8,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our 2020 exploration expenditure has been focused on a new airborne geophysical survey over the entire Homestake District. The survey is scheduled to be completed at the end of July. Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were approximately $152,000 and approximately $129,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Our general and administrative expenditures were primarily for legal, accounting & professional fees, investor relations and other general and administrative expenses necessary for our operations.


16


 

 

We had losses from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 totaling approximately $278,000 and $137,000, respectively, and a net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 totaling approximately $346,000 and $140,000, respectively. We accrued interest expense on notes payable totaling approximately $2,700 and $3,300, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized additional interest expense of approximately $67,000 related to amortization of debt discount on the JR note payable. For the three months ended June 30, 2020 we earned interest of approximately $2,000.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we have off-balance sheet arrangements for annual payments in relation to the mineral leases as disclosed in Note 3 of the unaudited notes to financial statements.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Preparation of financial statements requires management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies. Management bases its estimates on various assumptions and historical experience, which are believed to be reasonable; however, due to the inherent nature of estimates, actual results may differ significantly due to changed conditions or assumptions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Management believes that the following critical accounting estimates and judgments have a significant impact on our financial statements; Valuation of options granted to Directors and Officers using the Black-Scholes model, and fair value of mineral properties.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation the CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
