SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim balance sheets and statements of operations and cash flows contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The operating and financial results for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

 

These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in U.S. dollars. These unaudited interim financial statements do not include all note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP on an annual basis, and therefore should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 14, 2016.

 

Inventories

 

The recovery of gold from certain oxide ores is achieved through the heap leaching process. Under this method, mineralized material is placed on a leach pad where it is treated with a chemical solution, which dissolves the gold contained in the material. The resulting “pregnant” solution is further processed in a plant where gold is recovered. The Company records ore on leach pad, ore in carbon column in process and gold doré, at average production cost per gold ounce, less provisions required to reduce inventory to net realizable value. Production costs include the cost of mineralized material processed; direct and indirect materials and consumables; direct labor; repairs and maintenance; utilities; depreciation and amortization of property, equipment, and mineral properties; and mine administrative expenses. Revenue from the sale of silver is accounted for as by-product and is deducted from production costs. Costs are removed from ore on leach pads as ounces are recovered based on the average cost per recoverable ounce of gold on the leach pad.

 

Estimates of recoverable gold on the leach pad are calculated from the quantities of material placed on the leach pad (measured tons added to the leach pad), the grade of material placed on the leach pad (based on assay data) and an estimated recovery percentage (based on ore type). The nature of the leaching process inherently limits the ability to precisely monitor inventory levels. As a result, actual gold ounces recovered are regularly monitored and estimates are refined based on actual results over time. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had a limited operating history and actual results only over that short period of time. Due to this, estimates of recoverable gold are based primarily on initial tests and only limited refinements.

 

Variations between actual and estimated quantities resulting from changes in assumptions and estimates that do not result in write-downs to net realizable value are accounted for on a prospective basis. The ultimate recovery of gold from a leach pad will not be known until the leaching process is concluded. The quantification of material inventory on the leach pad is based on estimates of the quantities of gold at each balance sheet date that the Company expects to recover during the next 12-18 months.

 

Revenue

 

Sales of all metals products are recorded as revenues when title and risk of loss transfer to the purchaser. Sales to the purchaser are recorded at gross sales price, with charges for treatment, refining, smelting and other charges included as part of general project costs.

 

Earnings (loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. At March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, common stock equivalents outstanding are as follows:

 

    March 31, 2016     March 31, 2015  
             
Convertible debt     1,028,574       857,143  
Convertible preferred stock     47,211,002       27,718,333  
                 
Total     48,239,576       28,575,476  

 

However, the diluted earnings (loss) per share are not presented because its effect would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s recurring losses.

 

Going Concern

 

As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit incurred through March 31, 2016, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

 

The final permit needed to begin development of the Kiewit property was received in January 2014 and development began in February 2014. Construction at the site was substantially complete at September 30, 2014. The Company will need significant funding to continue operations and increase development through the next fiscal year. This funding is expected to come via sales revenues and loan funds, but the timing and amount of capital requirements will depend on a number of factors, including demand for products and services, metals pricing and the availability of opportunities for expansion through affiliations and other business relationships.

 

If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying values of the assets and liabilities, the reported revenues and expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.
