1. ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

 

Northern Minerals & Exploration Ltd. (the “Company”) is a Nevada corporation incorporated on December 11, 2006 under the name Punchline Entertainment, Inc. On August 22, 2012, the Company’s board of directors approved an agreement and plan of merger to merge with and into the Company’s newly created wholly-owned subsidiary Punchline Resources Ltd., a Nevada corporation, to effect a name change of the Company from Punchline Entertainment, Inc. to Punchline Resources Ltd. Punchline Resources Ltd. was formed solely for the change of name. On August 30, 2012, the Company filed Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State for the name change. The Financial Industry Regulation Authority (“FINRA”) approved the name change on September 7, 2012.

 

On July 12, 2013, the stockholders approved an amendment to change the name of the Company from Punchline Resources Ltd. to Northern Mineral & Exploration Ltd. FINRA approved the name change on August 13, 2013.

On April 24, 2014, the previous Chief Executive Officer and Director, Ramzan Savji, resigned and Howard Siegel was appointed as the new Company President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Director.

 

The Company was originally started as a company involved in the placing of strength testing amusement gaming machines called Boxers in venues such as bars, pubs and night clubs in the Seattle area, in the State of Washington. The Company had acquired one Boxer that had been placed in Lynwood, Washington. The machine was de-commissioned as it needed material repairs. As sufficient capital could not be secured for these repairs, management decided to change the Company’s business focus to oil and gas mineral exploration.

 

On September 7, 2012 the Company entered into a mineral lease agreement with MinQuest, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Company has acquired 100% of the exploration and mining rights to 58 unpatented mining claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada approximately 26 miles south of Goldfield in the Tokop mining district for a period of 20 years known as the Empress Property.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and the instructions for Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Going Concern and Liquidity Considerations

 

The accompanying financial statements are prepared and presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, they do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of the carrying value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Since inception to date, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $510,407. The Company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months ending July 31, 2015.

 

The ability of the Company to emerge from the development stage is dependent upon, among other things, revenues and obtaining additional financing to continue operations.

 

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s 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.
