GLOSSARY OF MINING TERMS

Exploration Stage

An “exploration stage” prospect is one which is not in either the development or production stage.

Development Stage

A “development stage” project is one which is undergoing preparation of an established commercially mineable deposit for its extraction, but which is not yet in production. This stage occurs after completion of a feasibility study.

Mineralized

The term “mineralized material” refers to material that is not included in the reserve as it does not meet all the criteria for adequate demonstration for economic or legal extraction.

Probable Reserve

The term “probable reserve” refers to reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven (measured) reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation.

Production Stage

A “production stage” project is actively engaged in the process of extraction and beneficiation of mineral reserves to produce a marketable metal or mineral product.

Proven Reserve

The term “proven reserve” refers to reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings, or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth, and mineral content of reserves are well-established.

The term “reserve” refers to that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. Reserves must be supported by a feasibility study done to bankable standards that demonstrates the economic extraction. (“Bankable standards” implies that the confidence attached to the costs and achievements developed in the study is sufficient for the project to be eligible for external debt financing.) A reserve includes adjustments to the in-situ tons and grade to include diluting materials and allowances for losses that might occur when the material is mined.

Additional definitions for terms currently or previously used in the Company’s Annual Reports filed on Form 10-K:

Assay – a measure of the valuable mineral content.

Block model – The representation of geologic units using three-dimensional blocks of pre-determined sizes.

Cut-off grade – When determining economically viable mineral reserves, the lowest grade of mineralized material that qualifies as ore, i.e., that can be mined at a profit.

Diamond drill – A type of rotary drill in which the cutting is done by abrasion rather than by percussion. The drill cuts a core of rock which is recovered in long cylindrical sections.

Fault - A fracture in the earth’s crust caused by tectonic forces with displacement along the fracture.

3

Feasibility study – A study or group of studies that determine the economic viability of a given mineral occurrence.

g/t or gpt – Grams per metric ton.

Grade – A term used to assign metal value to resources and reserves, such as gram per ton (g/t) or troy ounces per ton (oz/ton).

Gravity – A methodology using instrumentation allowing the accurate measuring of the difference between densities of various geological units in situ.

Heap leaching – A process which uses dilute sodium-cyanide solutions to percolate through run-of-mine or crushed ore heaped on lined pad to dissolve gold and/or silver.

in-situ – in its natural position.

Mineral – A naturally formed chemical element or compound having a definite chemical composition and, usually, a characteristic crystal form.

Mineralization – A natural occurrence in rocks or soil of one or more metal yielding minerals.

Mineral deposit – A mineralized body, which has been intersected by a sufficient number of drill holes or by underground workings to give an estimate of grade(s) of metal(s) and thus to warrant further exploration or development. A mineral deposit does not qualify as a commercially viable mineral deposit with reserves under standards set by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission until a final, comprehensive, economic, technical and legal feasibility study has been completed.

Mining – The process of extraction and beneficiation of mineral reserves to produce a marketable metal or mineral product. Exploration continues during the mining process and, in many cases, mineral reserves are expanded during the life of the mine operations as the exploration potential of the deposit is realized.

NSR – A net smelter returns royalty, which is customarily calculated by subtracting from gross revenues a deduction for calculated mill recoveries, transport costs of any concentrates to a smelter, treatment and refining charges, and other deductions at the smelter and multiplying that result by the prescribed rate.

Open pit – Surface mining in which the ore is extracted from a pit or quarry, the geometry of the pit may vary with the characteristics of the ore body.

Ore - A natural aggregate of one or more minerals which, at a specified time and place, may be mined and processed and the product(s) sold at a profit or from which some part may be profitably separated.

Ore body – a mostly solid and fairly continuous mass of mineralization estimated to be economically mineable.

Ore grade – the average weight of the valuable metal or mineral contained in a specific weight of ore i.e. grams per ton of ore.

Oxide – gold bearing ore which results from the oxidation of near surface sulfide ore.

Quartz – a mineral composed of silicon dioxide, SiO2 (silica).

Reclamation – The process by which lands disturbed as a result of mining activity are modified to support beneficial land use. Reclamation activity may include the removal of buildings, equipment, machinery and other physical remnants of mining, closure of tailings storage facilities, leach pads and other mine features, and contouring, covering and re-vegetation of waste rock and other disturbed areas.

Rock – indurated naturally occurring mineral matter of various compositions.

4

Sampling and analytical variance/precision – an estimate of the total error induced by sampling, sample preparation and analysis.

SEC Industry Guide 7 – U.S. reporting guidelines that apply to registrants engaged or to be engaged in significant mining operations.

Sediment – particles transported by water, wind, gravity or ice.

Sedimentary rock – rock formed at the earth’s surface from solid particles, whether mineral or organic, which have been moved from their position of origin and re-deposited.

Strike – the direction or trend that a structural surface, e.g. a bedding or fault plane, takes as it intersects the horizontal

Strip – to remove barren rock or overburden in order to expose ore.

Vein – a thin, sheet like crosscutting body of hydrothermal mineralization, principally quartz.

The Company

Overview

We are a mining company that was formed in Nevada on July 2, 2007. We currently operate as a consultant and advisor to the mining industry. Historically, we have been engaged in the production of precious metals. From 2013 to 2020, the Company owned certain real property and the associated exploration permits and mineral rights commonly known as the UP and Burlington Gold Mine in Idaho (“UP and Burlington”). From 2015 through January 24, 2023, the Company operated the Clavo Rico mine in Honduras through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A de C.V. (“CMCS”) and other mining concessions. The Clavo Rico mine’s workings include several historical underground mining operations dating back to the early Mayan and Spanish occupation, and the primary mine operated through 2022 is located on the 200-hectare Clavo Rico Concession, located in southern Honduras.

2023 Divestiture of the Clavo Rico Mine

On January 12, 2023, Inception Mining, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Mother Lode Mining, Inc. (“MLM”). The LOI became binding on January 24, 2023 when the final installment of initial payment set forth under the LOI was received by the Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the Company agreed to sell all of the shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Compañía Minera Cerros Del Sur, S.A. de C.V. (“CMCS”), to MLM. CMCS is the Honduran-based company that owns the Clavo Rico mine.

The purchase price for the sale of CMCS by the Company to MLM consisted of the following cash consideration (a) $204,200 was delivered by MLM to the Company on January 3, 2023 to pay outstanding debts owed by the Corporation; (b) $300,000 was delivered by MLM to the Company on January 5, 2023 to satisfy existing debts of the Company; (c) $100,000 was delivered by MLM to the Company on January 16, 2023; (d) $200,000 was delivered by MLM to the Company on January 17, 2023; (e) $1,200,000 was delivered by MLM to the Company on January 18, 2023, to pay a settlement amount for existing debt of the Company; (f) $500,000 was delivered by MLM to the Company on January 23, 2023, to satisfy existing debts of the Company; (g) $500,000 was delivered by MLM to the Corporation on January 24, 2023 to satisfy existing debts of the Corporation.

In addition to the amounts already delivered under the LOI, an additional amount of $2,700,0000 shall be paid by MLM to the Company over a period of twenty-four (24) months (the “Monthly Payments”). The Monthly Payments shall be paid as follows: (i) $25,000 due March 1, 2023, (ii) $50,000 due on the first day of each of April, May and June 2023, and (iii) $100,000 due on the first day of each month for the following twenty months, until February 1, 2025 at which point all amounts due and payable hereunder shall be delivered in a final balloon payment. Outstanding balances and missed Monthly Payments will be secured by a 10% NSR on the Clavo Rico mine production until the Monthly Payments are delivered and the purchase price is paid in full. In addition to the Monthly Payments, the Company will receive a carried forward net profits interest royalty (“NPI”) of 5% on the Clavo Rico mine production until the total NPI paid to the Company is $1,000,000, subject to limited conditions.

Following the Closing of the LOI on January 24, 2023, the Company divested its ownership interest in CMCS and its interests in the Clavo Rico mine, resulting in the transfer of operations to Mother Lode Mining and full control of the Clavo Rico mine asset.

Current Operations

Since the Divestiture of the Clavo Rico Mine, the Company has been operating as a consultant and advisor to the mining industry, including to Mother Lode Mining, the new owner of the Clavo Rico mine. It also has an ongoing financial interest in the Clavo Rico Mine under the LOI.

According to the LOI, the Company is obligated to receive $2,700,000 in cash payments through January 2025, with such payments secured by a ten percent net smelter royalty on the Clavo Rico Mine’s production.

6

The Company also received a carried forward net profits interest royalty of five percent of the Clavo Rico mine production until payment to the Company reaches $1,000,000, subject to reduction for certain limited Clavo Rico mine expenses.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company received payments from Mother Lode Mining in the amount of $480,558. Mother Lode Mining is in default with payments towards this note. Management has been addressing this issue with Mother Lode Mining. The Company has established an allowance for the entire remaining balance.

Compliance with Government Regulation

Since the Divestiture of CMCS and the Clavo Rico mine in January 2023, we are no longer subject to the mining regulations of Honduras.

The Company’s policy is to conduct our business in a manner that safeguards public health and mitigates the environmental effects of our business activities. To comply with these laws and regulations, we have made, and in the future may be required to make, capital and operating expenditures.

Capital Equipment and Research & Development Expenditures

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we did not incur any expense related to research and development. Additionally, we are not currently conducting any research and development activities other than those relating to the possible acquisition of new gold and/or silver properties or projects of which there is no guarantee.

Employees

As of the date of this filing, we currently employ one full-time employee and no temporary employees in the United States and Honduras. We have contracts with various independent contractors and consultants to fulfill additional needs, including investor relations, exploration, development, permitting, and other administrative functions, and may staff further with employees as we expand activities and bring new projects on line.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts

We do not currently own any patents or trademarks. Also, we are not a party to any license or franchise agreements, concessions, or labor contracts arising from any patents or trademarks, or any royalty agreements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the following risks, along with all of the other information included in this report, before deciding to buy our common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. If we are unable to prevent events that have a negative effect from occurring, then our business may suffer.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY

An occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations.

The occurrence of an uncontrollable event such as the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations. A pandemic typically results in social distancing, travel bans and quarantine, and this may limit access to our facilities, customers, management, support staff and professional advisors. These factors, in turn, may not only impact our operations, financial condition and demand for our goods and services but our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Also, it may hamper our efforts to comply with our filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We have incurred losses since our inception in 2007 and may never be profitable, which raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Since our inception in 2007 and until the Merger in 2015, we had nominal operations and incurred operating losses. As of December 31, 2023, our accumulated deficit since inception was $28,913,582. We have substantial current obligations and at December 31, 2023, we had $1,576,349 of current liabilities compared to only $10,002 of current assets. Since inception, we have been able to raise only minimal additional capital, and we have minimal cash on hand. Accordingly, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources or current assets to pay its current obligations, and we have been meeting many of our obligations through the issuance of our common stock to our employees, consultants, and advisors as payment for the goods and services.

Our management continues to search for additional financing; however, considering the difficult U.S. and global economic conditions along with the substantial turmoil in the capital and credit markets, there is a significant possibility that we will be unable to obtain financing to continue our operations.

These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as described in an explanatory paragraph to our independent registered public accounting firm’s report on our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, investors will likely lose all of their investment in our company.

We are Subject to Legal Proceedings.

We are subject to legal proceedings and litigation, which can be expensive and unpredictable.

Global financial conditions may have an impact on our business and financial condition in ways that we currently cannot predict.

The continued pressure on commodities markets and related turmoil in the global financial system may have an impact on our business and financial position. The recent high costs of consumables may negatively impact costs of our operations. In addition, current financial market conditions may limit our ability to raise capital through credit and equity markets. As discussed further below, the prices of the metals that we may produce are affected by a number of factors, and it is unknown how these factors will be impacted by a continuation of the financial crisis.

We do not currently carry any property or casualty insurance.

Our business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including but not limited to, adverse environmental conditions, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, changes in the regulatory environment, and natural phenomena such as inclement weather conditions, floods and earthquakes. Such occurrences could result in damage to our properties, equipment, infrastructure, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays, monetary losses and possible legal liability. You could lose all or part of your investment if any such catastrophic event occurs. We do not carry any property or casualty insurance at this time (but we will carry all insurances that we are required to by law, such as motor vehicle and workers’ compensation, plus other coverage that may be in the best interest of the Company). Even if we do obtain insurance, it may not cover all of the risks associated with our operations. Insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and operations are often not available to us or to other companies in our business on acceptable terms. Should any events against which we are not insured actually occur, we may become subject to substantial losses, costs and liabilities, which will adversely affect our financial condition.

8

Our industry is highly competitive, attractive mineral lands are scarce, and we may not be able to obtain quality properties.

We compete with many companies in the mining industry, including large, established mining companies with capabilities, personnel and financial resources that far exceed our limited resources. In addition, there is a limited supply of desirable mineral lands available for claim-staking, lease or acquisition in the United States, and other areas where we may conduct exploration activities. We are at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring mineral properties, since we compete with these larger individuals and companies, many of which have greater financial resources and larger technical staffs. Likewise, our competition extends to locating and employing competent personnel and contractors to prospect, develop and operate mining properties. Many of our competitors can offer attractive compensation packages that we may not be able to meet. Such competition may result in our company being unable not only to acquire desired properties, but to recruit or retain qualified employees or to acquire the capital necessary to fund our operation and advance our properties. Our inability to compete with other companies for these resources would have a material adverse effect on our results of operation and business.

We depend on our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and the loss of this individual could adversely affect our business.

Our company is completely dependent on Trent D’Ambrosio, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. D’Ambrosio is also a member of our Board of Directors. The loss of Mr. D’Ambrosio could significantly and adversely affect our business and could even result in a complete failure of the Company. We do not carry any life insurance on the life of Mr. D’Ambrosio.

The nature of mineral exploration and production activities involves a high degree of risk and the possibility of uninsured losses that could materially and adversely affect our operations.

Exploration for minerals is highly speculative and involves greater risk than many other businesses. Many exploration programs do not result in the discovery of economically feasible mineralization. Few properties that are explored are ultimately advanced to the stage of producing mines. We are subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incident to exploring for and developing mineral properties such as, but not limited to:

● economically insufficient mineralized material;

● fluctuations in production costs that may make mining uneconomical;

● labor disputes;

● unanticipated variations in grade and other geologic problems;

● environmental hazards;

● water conditions;

● difficult surface or underground conditions;

● industrial accidents, such as personal injury, fire, flooding, cave-ins, and landslides;

● metallurgical and other processing problems;

● mechanical and equipment performance problems; and

● decreases in revenues and reserves due to lower gold and mineral prices.

Any of these risks can materially and adversely affect, among other things, the development of properties, production quantities and rates, costs and expenditures and production commencement dates. We currently have no insurance to guard against any of these risks. If we determine that capitalized costs associated with any of our mineral interests are not likely to be recovered, we would incur a write-down of our investment in these interests. All of these factors may result in losses in relation to amounts spent that are not recoverable.

9

Our operations are subject to permitting requirements that could require us to delay, suspend or terminate our operations on our mining property.

Our operations and exploration activities require permits from the local, state and federal governments. We may be unable to obtain these permits in a timely manner, on reasonable terms or at all. If we cannot obtain or maintain the necessary permits, or if there is a delay in receiving these permits, our timetable and business plan for Inception will be adversely affected.

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

In their audit opinion issued in connection with our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and our related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern given our recurring net losses, negative cash flows from operations and the limited amount of funds on our balance sheet. We have prepared our financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence. This could make it more difficult to raise capital in the future.

Risks Associated with Our Common Stock

Trading on the Over the Counter markets may be volatile and sporadic, which could depress the market price of our common stock and make it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink tier of the over-the-counter markets administered by OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol “IMII”. Trading in stock quoted on over the counter markets is often thin, volatile, and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the Over the Counter markets are not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the over the counter markets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on other stock exchanges such as the NASDAQ Stock Market, New York Stock Exchange or American Stock Exchange. Accordingly, our shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares.

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC’s penny stock regulations and the FINRA’s sales practice requirements, which may limit a stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. The term accredited investor refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customers’ account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability or willingness of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage broker-dealer and investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.

10

Our common stock may be affected by limited trading volume and price fluctuation which could adversely impact the value of our common stock.

There has been limited trading in our common stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market in our common stock will either develop or be maintained. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors such as quarterly fluctuations in our financial results and changes in the overall economy or the condition of the financial markets could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. These fluctuations may also cause short sellers to periodically enter the market in the belief that we will have poor results in the future. We cannot predict the actions of market participants and, therefore, can offer no assurances that the market for our common stock will be stable or appreciate over time.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the penny stock rules promulgated by the SEC, which are discussed in the immediately preceding risk factor, FINRA rules 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 the ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market value for our shares.

Because the SEC imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in shares of penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade our securities. This means that you may have difficulty reselling your shares, which may cause the value of your investment to decline.

Our shares are classified as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities in this offering or in the aftermarket. For sales of our securities, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination and receive a written agreement prior from you to making a sale on your behalf. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that broker-dealers will not want to make a market in our common stock. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the value of your investment to decline.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital, it may adversely impact our ability to continue operations and we may go out of business.

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because we may attempt to acquire a significant portion of the funds we need in order to conduct our planned operations through the sale of equity securities, or convertible debt instruments, a decline in the price of our common stock could be detrimental to our liquidity and our operations because the decline may cause investors to not choose to invest in our stock. If we are unable to raise the funds we require for all our planned operations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may suffer, and not be successful and we may go out of business. We also might not be able to meet our financial obligations if we cannot raise enough funds through the sale of our common stock and we may be forced to go out of business.

11

Our stock price may be volatile.

The stock market in general has experienced volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of any specific public company. The market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:

● changes in our industry;

● competitive pricing pressures;

● our ability to obtain working capital financing;

● additions or departures of key personnel;

● limited “public float” in the hands of a small number of persons whose sales or lack of sales could result in positive or negative pricing pressure on the market prices of our common stock;

● sales of our common stock;

● our ability to execute our business plan;

● operating results that fall below expectations;

● loss of any strategic relationship;

● regulatory developments;

● economic and other external factors; and

● period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results.

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

We have never paid a cash dividend on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future.

We have not paid a cash dividend on our common stock to date, and we do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ability to successfully develop one or more properties and generate revenue from operations. Notwithstanding, we will likely elect to retain any earnings, if any, to finance our growth. Future dividends may also be limited by bank loan agreements or other financing instruments that we may enter into in the future. The declaration and payment of dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, shareholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

Recent federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, among others, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or The NASDAQ Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges and NASDAQ are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight and the adoption of a code of ethics. While our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, we have not yet adopted any of these corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not listed on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, we are not required to do so. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, shareholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. For example, in the absence of audit, nominating and compensation committees comprised of at least a majority of independent directors, decisions concerning matters such as compensation packages to our senior officers and recommendations for director nominees may be made by a majority of directors who have an interest in the outcome of the matters being decided. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.

12

Difficulties we may encounter managing our growth could adversely affect our results of operations.

As our business needs expand, we may need to hire a significant number of employees. This expansion may place a significant strain on our managerial and financial resources. To manage the potential growth of our operations and personnel, we will be required to:

● improve existing, and implement new, operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures;

● install enhanced management information systems; and

● train, motivate, and manage our employees.

We may not be able to install adequate management information and control systems in an efficient and timely manner, and our current or planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls may not be adequate to support our future operations. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business would be seriously harmed.

If we lose key personnel or are unable to attract and retain additional qualified personnel, we may not be able to successfully manage our business and achieve our objectives.

We believe our future success will depend upon our ability to retain our key management, primarily Mr. D’Ambrosio, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. We may not be successful in attracting, assimilating and retaining our employees in the future.

Offers or availability for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

If our stockholders sell substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market upon the expiration of any statutory holding period, under Rule 144, or issued upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, it could create a circumstance commonly referred to as an “overhang” and in anticipation of which the market price of our common stock could fall. The existence of an overhang, whether or not sales have occurred or are occurring, also could make more difficult our ability to raise additional financing through the sale of equity or equity related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

ITEM 1C: CYBERSECURITY

Our board of directors and senior management recognize the critical importance of maintaining the trust and confidence of our clients, business partners and employees. Our management, led by our Chief Executive Officer, is actively involved in oversight of our risk management efforts, and cybersecurity represents an important component of the Company’s overall approach to enterprise risk management (“ERM”). Our cybersecurity processes and practices are fully integrated into the Company’s ERM efforts. In general, we seek to address cybersecurity risks through a cross-functional approach that is focused on preserving the confidentiality, security and availability of the information that we collect and store by identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats and effectively responding to cybersecurity incidents when they occur. In addition, we regularly review cybersecurity trends and, partially as a result of our prior cybersecurity exposure, have moved some of our internal servers to off-site locations.

Risk Management and Strategy

As one of the critical elements of our overall ERM approach, our cybersecurity efforts are focused on the following key areas:

● Governance: Management oversees cybersecurity risk mitigation and reports to the board of directors any cybersecurity incidents.

● Collaborative Approach: We have implemented a cross-functional approach to identifying, preventing and mitigating cybersecurity threats and incidents, while also implementing controls and procedures that provide for the prompt escalation of certain cybersecurity incidents so that decisions regarding the public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by management in a timely manner.

● Technical Safeguards: We deploy technical safeguards that are designed to protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats, including firewalls, intrusion prevention and detection systems, anti-malware functionality and access controls, which are evaluated and improved through vulnerability assessments and cybersecurity threat intelligence.

13

Third parties also play a role in our cybersecurity. We engage third-party service providers to conduct evaluations of our security controls, independent audits or consulting on best practices to address new challenges.

While we have experienced cybersecurity threats in the past in the normal course of business and expect to continue to experience such threats from time to time, to date, none have had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Even with the approach we take to cybersecurity, we may not be successful in preventing or mitigating a cybersecurity incident that could have a material adverse effect on us.

ITEM 2: PROPERTIES

Corporate Headquarters

We currently maintain our corporate offices at 5330 South 900 East, Suite 280, Murray, Utah 84117. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we paid monthly rent of approximately $1,500 for use of a corporate office.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as set forth below, we are currently not aware of any such pending or threatened legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

March 4, 2024, the Company filed a complaint against Mother Lode Mining, Inc., a Canadian company, and Robert Salna (the “Defendants"), alleging an amount of not less than $2,237,800 (plus interest, additional costs and attorneys’ fees) due from Defendants as a result of their breach of their obligations and duties arising from the sale of Compañía Minera Cerros Del Sur, S.A. de C.V. in 2023 (the “Sale”). In the complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, Central Division, the Company asserts claims related to alleged breach of contract and unjust enrichment against the Defendants, and seeks a monetary judgment and an award of attorneys’ fees and other expenses. The complaint arises from the Defendants’ failure to convey agreed-upon consideration to the Company as contracted for the sale of CMCS. The Company intends to pursue the lawsuit aggressively. Despite several attempts, the Company has not yet effected service of process on Mother Lode Mining, Inc.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable as the Company conducts no active mining operations in the U.S. or its territories.

OTC securities are not listed and traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers. OTC issuers are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a national or regional stock exchange.

We have two classes of stock: common stock and Series A Preferred Stock. On August 30, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to Article II of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, approved the designation of fifty-one (51) shares of its authorized capital stock as “Series A Preferred Stock”.

Equity Compensation Plans

As of the date of this Annual Report, we have an equity compensation plan: the 2013 Incentive Stock Plan.

Overview

We currently provide consulting services to the mining industry. Our target properties are those that have been the subject of historical exploration.

Clavo Rico Mine

On October 2, 2015, the Company consummated a merger with Clavo Rico Ltd. (“Clavo Rico”) through which it acquired companies (including Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A de C.V.) with principal mining operations in Honduras, Central America. Its workings include several historical underground mining operations dating back to the early Mayan and Spanish occupation.

The Clavo Rico mine operations were divested on January 24, 2023 when the Company sold Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A de C.V.

Since the Divestiture of the Clavo Rico Mine, the Company has been operating as a consultant and advisor to the mining industry, including to Mother Lode Mining, the new owner of the Clavo Rico mine. It also has an ongoing financial interest in the Clavo Rico Mine under the LOI.

Results of Operations

Year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022

We had a net income of $12,755,659 for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was $16,904,508 more than the net loss of $4,148,849 for the year ended December 31, 2022. This change in our results over the two periods is primarily the result of a decrease in interest expense of $2,602,891, the change of derivative liabilities of $2,440,118, an increase in gain on extinguishment of debt of $6,584,613 and income from discontinued operations of $7,848,757. The following table summarizes key items of comparison and their related increase (decrease) for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $1,066,618 and $745,856, respectively. The increase in operating expenses for 2023 compared to 2022 were comprised primarily of an increase in consulting fees offset with a decrease in the cost of keeping the company public comprised of accounting, auditing, legal, transfer agent and filing expenses.

Other Income (Expenses)

Other income (expenses) for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $7,089,405 and ($2,287,108), respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, reflects current assets of $10,002. As we had cash in the amount of $2 and a working capital deficit in the amount of $1,566,347 as of December 31, 2023, we do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months.

Working Capital

	December 31, 2023			December 31, 2022
Current assets	$	10,002		$	302,849
Current liabilities		1,576,349			29,068,198
Working capital deficit	$	(1,566,347	)	$	(28,765,349	)

We anticipate generating losses and, therefore, may be unable to continue operations in the future. If we require additional capital, we will have to issue debt or equity or enter into a strategic arrangement with a third party.

Going Concern Consideration

As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $28,913,582. In addition, there is a working capital deficiency of $1,566,347 and a stockholder’s deficiency of $2,421,581 the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Operating Activities

Net cash flow provided by operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 was $1,242,675, an increase of $2,145,097 from the $902,422 net cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase is mostly due to the net income in 2023 versus the net loss in 2022.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 was $652, a decrease of $49,014 from the $49,666 net cash used during the year ended December 31, 2022. This decrease was due to discontinued operations and no new investments.

Financing Activities

Financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023, used $1,243,126, a decrease of $2,142,669 from the $899,543 provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the company received $39,303 in notes payable from related parties, $100,000 in convertible notes payable, made payments of $39,000 in cash on notes payable – related parties and $1,343,429 in cash on convertible notes. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the company received $996,210 in notes payable from related parties, $100,000 in convertible notes payable, made payments of $473,900 in cash on notes payable – related parties, $37,891 in cash on notes payable and $11,620 in cash on convertible notes.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Going Concern - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements during year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a net income of $12,755,659 and provided $1,242,675 in cash from operating activities. The Company has an accumulated net loss since inception of $28,913,582. In addition, there is a working capital deficiency of $1,566,347 and a stockholder’s deficiency of $2,421,581 as of December 31, 2023. These factors among others indicate that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern for one year from the issuance of these financial statements.

The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management is currently working to make changes that will result in profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources to meet the Company’s need for cash during the next twelve months and beyond.

Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Inception Mining, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Inception Development, Corp., Clavo Rico Development Corp., Clavo Rico, Ltd. and Compañía Minera Cerros del Río, S.A. de C.V., and its controlling interest subsidiaries, Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A. de C.V. and Compañía Minera Clavo Rico, S.A. de C.V. (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation through the date the subsidiaries were disposed of on January 24, 2023.

Basis of Presentation - The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

19

Use of Estimates – In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenditures during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates may include those pertaining to valuation of inventories and mineralized material on leach pads, allowances on notes receivable, the estimated useful lives and valuation of properties, plant and equipment, mineral rights and properties, deferred tax assets, convertible preferred stock, derivative assets and liabilities, reclamation liabilities, stock-based compensation and payments, and contingent liabilities.

Notes Receivable – Notes receivable include amounts due to the Company pursuant to financial agreements stipulating interest rates, payment terms and maturity dates. The Company uses payment history, timeliness of payments, economic environment and potential disagreements with noteholder and debtor and other potential indicators to evaluate the collectability of the note receivable and to determine if an allowance for doubtful notes is required.

Fair Value Measurements - The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including the party’s own credit risk.

Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed below are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

Long-Lived Assets - We review the carrying amount of our long-lived assets for impairment whenever there are negative indicators of impairment. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is not considered recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flows.

Properties, Plant and Equipment - We record properties, plant and equipment at historical cost. We provide depreciation and amortization in amounts sufficient to match the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives or productive value. We capitalize expenditures for improvements that significantly extend the useful life of an asset. We charge expenditures for maintenance and repairs to operations when incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:

Building	7 to 15 years
Vehicles and equipment	3 to 7 years
Processing and laboratory	5 to 15 years
Furniture and fixtures	2 to 3 years

20

Derivative Liabilities - Derivatives liabilities are recorded at fair value when issued and the subsequent change in fair value each period is recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. We do not hold or issue any derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

At December 31, 2023, the Company marked to market the fair value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $39,281. The Company recorded a gain from change in fair value of debt derivatives of $3,273,396 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using the Monte Carlo Valuation Model. The Monte Carlo Valuation Model was based on the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 521.7%, (2) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 5.15% and (3) expected life of 0.46 years.

Income Taxes - The Company’s income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company develops assumptions including the amount of future state and federal pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income, and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is using to manage the underlying businesses. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which the Company does not consider realization of such deferred tax assets to be more likely than not.

Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management is not aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Operating Lease – The Company leases its corporate headquarters and administrative offices in Salt Lake City, Utah on a month-to-month basis.

21

The Company incurred rent expense of $15,772 and $15,252 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Non-Controlling Interest Policy – Non-controlling interest (NCI) is the portion of equity ownership in a subsidiary not attributable to the parent company, who has a controlling interest and consolidates the subsidiary’s financial results with its own. The amount of equity relating to the non-controlling interest is separately identified in the equity section of the balance sheet and the amount of the net income (loss) relating to the non-controlling interest is separately identified on the statement of operations.

ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or 1934 Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the 1934 Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, because of the Company’s limited resources and limited number of employees and due to reasons listed below, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

22

With the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO-2013”). Based on our evaluation and the material weaknesses described below, management concluded that the Company’s internal controls were not effective based on financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 based on the COSO framework criteria. Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties. Management of the Company believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of the Company’s management and accounting staff and reliance on outside consultants for external reporting. The small size of the Company’s accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future and the internal controls may continue to be not effective, such as segregation of duties, due to the cost/benefit of such remediation.

To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and outside accounting consultants. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework.

These control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies as described above together constitute a material weakness.

In light of this material weakness, we performed additional analyses and procedures in order to conclude that our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K were fairly stated in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, management believes that despite our material weaknesses, our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include, but are not limited to, the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the year ended December 31, 2023, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART III

ITEM 10: DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Identification of Directors and Executive Officers

Our Bylaws state that our authorized number of directors shall be one or more and shall be set by resolution of our Board of Directors. We currently have two directors.

Our current directors and officers are as follows:

Name and Business Address	Age	Position
Trent D’Ambrosio	59	CEO, CFO and Director
Whit Cluff	73	Director

Our directors will serve in that capacity until our next annual shareholder meeting or until a successor is elected and qualified. Officers hold their positions at the will of our Board of Directors. There are no arrangements, agreements or understandings between non-management security holders and management under which non-management security holders may directly or indirectly participate in or influence the management of our affairs.

Trent D’Ambrosio, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director

Mr. D’Ambrosio has been a Director of Inception Mining Inc. since February 28, 2013. From October 2011 through March 2013, Mr. D’Ambrosio held the positions of Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Inception Holdings LLC, a resource exploration company, and was the responsible for the overall strategic direction for the organization. His professional record includes 25 years of management and financial services experience with companies ranging from Fortune 500 companies to start-ups. Mr. D’Ambrosio holds a B.S. in Business Management, an MBA and a Certificate of Mining Studies.

Whit Cluff, Director

Mr. Cluff has over 35 years of experience in the commercial real estate industry. Mr. Cluff has been involved in all disciplines of real estate land development, mixed-use development, retail tenant representation, developer representation, industrial property procurement and asset management. Mr. Cluff has an extensive background in public and private businesses giving him strong analytical, planning, and organization ability with effective negotiation skills. From 2003 through the present, Mr. Cluff has worked in commercial real estate. Mr. Cluff attended the University of Utah and served in the United States Army.

Other Directorships

Other than as set forth above, none of our directors hold any other directorships in any company with a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act or subject to the requirements of Section 15(d) of such Act or any company registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

24

Board of Directors and Director Nominees

Since our Board of Directors does not include a majority of independent directors, the decisions of the Board regarding director nominees are made by persons who have an interest in the outcome of the determination. The Board will consider candidates for directors proposed by security holders, although no formal procedures for submitting candidates have been adopted. Unless otherwise determined, at any time not less than 90 days prior to the next annual Board meeting at which a slate of director nominees is adopted, the Board will accept written submissions from proposed nominees that include the name, address and telephone number of the proposed nominee; a brief statement of the nominee’s qualifications to serve as a director; and a statement as to why the security holder submitting the proposed nominee believes that the nomination would be in the best interests of our security holders. If the proposed nominee is not the same person as the security holder submitting the name of the nominee, a letter from the nominee agreeing to the submission of his or her name for consideration should be provided at the time of submission. The letter should be accompanied by a résumé supporting the nominee’s qualifications to serve on the Board, as well as a list of references.

The Board identifies director nominees through a combination of referrals from different people, including management, existing Board members and security holders. Once a candidate has been identified, the Board reviews the individual’s experience and background and may discuss the proposed nominee with the source of the recommendation. If the Board believes it to be appropriate, Board members may meet with the proposed nominee before making a final determination whether to include the proposed nominee as a member of the slate of director nominees submitted to security holders for election to the Board.

Some of the factors, which the Board considers when evaluating proposed nominees, include their knowledge of and experience in business matters, finance, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions. The Board may request additional information from each candidate prior to reaching a determination, and it is under no obligation to formally respond to all recommendations, although as a matter of practice, it will endeavor to do so.

Conflicts of Interest

Our directors are not obligated to commit their full time and attention to our business and, accordingly, they may encounter a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and those of other businesses. In the course of their other business activities, they may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as other entities to which they owe a fiduciary duty. As a result, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. They may also in the future become affiliated with entities that are engaged in business activities similar to those we intend to conduct.

In general, officers and directors of a corporation are required to present business opportunities to the corporation if:

● the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity;

● the opportunity is within the corporation’s line of business; and

● it would be unfair to the corporation and its stockholders not to bring the opportunity to the attention of the corporation.

We plan to adopt a code of ethics that obligates our directors, officers and employees to disclose potential conflicts of interest and prohibits those persons from engaging in such transactions without our consent.

Significant Employees

Other than as described herein, we do not expect any other individuals to make a significant contribution to our business.

25

Legal Proceedings

None of our directors, executive officers or control persons has been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:

● any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

● any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

● being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or

● being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, where the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

No Audit Committee or Financial Expert

The Company does not have an audit committee or a financial expert serving on the Board of Directors. The Company plans to form and implement an audit committee as soon as practicable.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships among our officers, directors, or persons nominated for such positions.

Code of Ethics

We have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, but intend to do so this year.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, all executive officers, directors, and each person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the common stock of a company that files reports pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act of 1934, are required to report the ownership of such common stock, options, and stock appreciation rights (other than certain cash only rights) and any changes in that ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company has evaluated all relevant Section 16(a) filings and has determined that the company is compliant with this section to the best of its knowledge.

ITEM 11: EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Our Board of Directors has not established a separate compensation committee. Instead, the Board of Directors reviews and approves executive compensation policies and practices, reviews salaries and bonuses for our officer(s), decides on benefit plans, and considers other matters as may, from time to time, be referred to it. We do not currently have a Compensation Committee Charter. Our Board continues to emphasize the important link between our performance, which ultimately benefits all shareholders, and the compensation of our executives. Therefore, the primary goal of our executive compensation policy is to closely align the interests of the shareholders with the interests of the executive officer(s). In order to achieve this goal, we attempt to (i) offer compensation opportunities that attract and retain executives whose abilities and skills are critical to our long-term success and reward them for their efforts in ensuring our success and (ii) encourage executives to manage from the perspective of owners with an equity stake in us.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Inception Mining, Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inception Mining, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph Regarding Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency and negative cash flows from operations which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits.  We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there were no critical audit matters.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2015.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022

1. Nature of Business

Inception Mining, Inc. (formerly known as Gold American Mining Corp.) was incorporated under the name of Golf Alliance Corporation and under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 2, 2007. Inception Mining, Inc. is a precious metal mineral acquisition, exploration and development company. Inception Development, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho on January 28, 2013.

Golf Alliance Corporation pursued its original business plan to provide opportunities for golfers to play on private golf courses normally closed to them due to the membership requirements of the private clubs. During the year ended July 31, 2010, the Company decided to redirect its business focus toward precious metal mineral acquisition and exploration.

On March 5, 2010, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to (1) to change its name to Silver America, Inc. and (2) increased its authorized common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000.

On June 23, 2010, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Gold American Mining Corp.

On November 21, 2012, the Company implemented a 200 to 1 reverse stock split. Upon effectiveness of the stock split, each shareholder cancelled 200 shares of common stock for every share of common stock owned as of November 21, 2012. This reverse stock split was effective on February 13, 2013. All share and per share references have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this 200 to 1 reverse stock split in the financial statements and in the notes to financial statements for all periods presented, to reflect the stock split as if it occurred on the first day of the first period presented.

On February 25, 2013, Gold American Mining Corp. and its majority shareholder (the “Majority Shareholder”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inception Development Inc. (the “Subsidiary”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Inception Resources, LLC, a Utah corporation (“Inception Resources”), pursuant to which Inception purchased the U.P. and Burlington Gold Mine in consideration of 16,000,000 shares of common stock of Inception, the assumption of promissory notes in the amount of $950,000 and the assignment of a 3% net royalty. Inception Resources was an entity owned by and under the control of the majority shareholder. This transaction is deemed an asset purchase by entities under common control. The Asset Purchase Agreement closed on February 25, 2013 (the “Closing”). Inception was a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately prior to our acquisition of the gold mine pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

On May 17, 2013, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Inception Mining, Inc. (“Inception” or the “Company”).

On October 2, 2015, the Company consummated a merger with Clavo Rico Ltd. (“Clavo Rico”). Clavo Rico is a privately held Turks and Caicos company with principal operations in Honduras, Central America. Clavo Rico operates the Clavo Rico mining concession through its subsidiaries Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A de C.V. and Compañía Minera Clavo Rico, S.A. de C.V. and holds other mining concessions. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued of 240,225,901 shares of common stock of Inception and assumed promissory notes in the amount of $5,488,980 and accrued interest of $3,434,426. Under this merger agreement, there was a change in control and it has been treated for accounting purposes as a reverse recapitalization with Clavo Rico, Ltd. being the surviving entity. Its workings include several historical underground operations dating back to the early Mayan and Spanish occupation.

On January 11, 2016, the Company implemented a 5.5 to 1 reverse stock split. This reverse stock split was effective on May 26, 2016. All share and per share references have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this 5.5 to 1 reverse stock split in the financial statements and in the notes to financial statements for all periods presented, to reflect the stock split as if it occurred on the first day of the first period presented. Immediately before the Reverse Split, the Company had 266,669,980 shares of common stock outstanding. Immediately after the Reverse Split, the Company had 48,485,451 shares of common stock outstanding, pending fractional-share rounding-up calculations to adjust for the Reverse Split.

On January 12, 2023, Inception Mining, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Mother Lode Mining, Inc. (“MLM”). The LOI became binding on January 24, 2023.

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the Company agreed to sell all of the shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Compañía Minera Cerros Del Sur, S.A. de C.V. (“CMCS”), to MLM. CMCS is the Honduran-based company that owns the Clavo Rico mine.

Since the Divestiture of the Clavo Rico Mine, the Company has been operating as a consultant and advisor to the mining industry, including to Mother Lode Mining, the new owner of the Clavo Rico mine. It also has an ongoing financial interest in the Clavo Rico Mine under the LOI.

COVID-19 – The Company has been impacted significantly by the COVID-19 global pandemic. In response to COVID-19, national and local governments around the world have instituted certain measures, including travel bans, prohibitions on group events and gatherings, shutdowns of certain businesses, curfews, shelter-in-place orders, and recommendations to practice social distancing. Based on management’s assessment as of December 31, 2023, the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the related length of its impact on the global economy, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Going Concern – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements during year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $28,913,582, a working capital deficit of $1,566,347 and provided $1,242,675 in cash for operating activities. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued.

The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management is currently working to make changes that will result in profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources to meet the Company’s need for cash during the next twelve months and beyond.

Use of Estimates – In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenditures during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates may include those pertaining to valuation of inventories and mineralized material on leach pads, the estimated useful lives and valuation of properties, plant and equipment, mineral rights and properties, deferred tax assets, convertible preferred stock, derivative assets and liabilities, reclamation liabilities, stock-based compensation and payments, and contingent liabilities.

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Inception Mining, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Inception Development, Corp., Clavo Rico Development Corp., Clavo Rico, Ltd. and Compañía Minera Cerros del Río, S.A. de C.V., and its controlling interest subsidiaries, Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A. de C.V. and Compañía Minera Clavo Rico, S.A. de C.V. (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation through the date the subsidiaries were disposed of on January 24, 2023.

Basis of Presentation – The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

F-8

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no cash equivalents. The aggregate cash balance on deposit in these accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has never experienced any losses in such accounts.

Settlement of Contracts in Company’s Equity– In accordance with ASC 815-40-25, the Company must meet certain requirements in order to report contracts as equity versus liabilities. These requirements must be met by the Company or the contracts need to be reported as liabilities. The Company has adopted the sequencing approach as guidance on contracts that permit partial net share settlement. The Company evaluates the contracts based on the earliest issuance date. Currently, the Company doesn’t have any items that are reported as equity instead of liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements – The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including the party’s own credit risk.

Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

F-9

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

The fair value of financial instruments on December 31, 2023 are summarized below:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Warrant liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-
Debt derivative liabilities		-		-		39,281		39,281
Total Liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	39,281	$	39,281

The fair value of financial instruments on December 31, 2022 are summarized below:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Warrant liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-
Debt derivative liabilities		-		-		3,262,612		3,262,612
Total Liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	3,262,612	$	3,262,612

The Company recognizes its marketable securities as level 1 and values its marketable securities using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below in Note 3. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed below in Note 3 are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

Notes Receivable – Notes receivable include amounts due to the Company pursuant to financial agreements stipulating interest rates, payment terms and maturity dates. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, notes receivable balances include one note due from Mother Load Mining, Inc. in the amounts of $2,219,442 and $0, net of reserves of $2,219,442 and $0, respectively (see Note 4 – Note Receivable). However, the Company has elected to create an allowance for doubtful collection of this note for the full outstanding balance of $2,219,442 as of December 31, 2023 and recognized a bad debt expense of $2,219,442 during the year ended December 31, 2023.

F-10

Long-Lived Assets – We review the carrying amount of our long-lived assets for impairment whenever there are negative indicators of impairment. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is not considered recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flows.

Properties, Plant and Equipment – We record properties, plant and equipment at historical cost. We provide depreciation and amortization in amounts sufficient to match the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives or productive value. We capitalize expenditures for improvements that significantly extend the useful life of an asset. We charge expenditures for maintenance and repairs to operations when incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:

Building	7 to 15 years
Vehicles and equipment	3 to 7 years
Processing and laboratory	5 to 15 years
Furniture and fixtures	2 to 3 years

Stock Issued for Goods and Services – Common and preferred shares issued for goods and services are valued based upon the fair market value of our common stock or the goods and services received.

Stock-Based Compensation – For stock-based transactions, compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, based on the estimated fair value on the grant date of the award.

Income (Loss) per Common Share – Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss), less the preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Dilutive income (loss) per share includes any additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock options and warrants, and convertible instruments, if the impact is not antidilutive. 430,296,172,574 common share equivalents have been excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2022 because it would be anti-dilutive.

The following tables summaries the changes in the net earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

	For the Years Ended
Numerator	December 31, 2023			December 31, 2022
Net Income (Loss) - Controlling Interest	$	12,741,988		$	(4,147,141	)
Gain on Extinguishment of Debt		(6,313,102	)		-
Interest Expense		72,790			-

Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share	$	0.00		$	(0.02	)

Comprehensive Loss – Comprehensive loss is made up of the exchange differences arising on translating foreign operations and the net loss for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

F-11

Derivative Liabilities – Derivatives liabilities are recorded at fair value when issued and the subsequent change in fair value each period is recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. We do not hold or issue any derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

Income Taxes – The Company’s income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company develops assumptions including the amount of future state and federal pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income, and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is using to manage the underlying businesses. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which the Company does not consider realization of such deferred tax assets to be more likely than not.

Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management is not aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Business Segments – The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

Operating Lease – The Company leases its corporate headquarters and administrative offices in Salt Lake City, Utah. This lease expires in August 2024.

The supplemental balance sheet information related to the operating lease for the periods is as follows:

	December 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Operating leases
Right-of-use assets	$	9,595	$	23,106
Short-term operating lease liabilities	$	9,595	$	13,511
Long-term operating lease liabilities		-		9,595
Total operating lease liabilities	$	9,595	$	23,106

Maturities of the Company’s undiscounted operating lease liabilities are as follows:

Year Ending	Operating Lease
2024		10,505
Total lease payments		10,505
Less: imputed interest/present value discount		(910	)
Present value of lease liabilities	$	9,595

The Company made cash payments of $15,772 and $15,252 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company incurred rent expense of $15,772 and $15,252 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Non-Controlling Interest Policy – Non-controlling interest (NCI) is the portion of equity ownership in a subsidiary not attributable to the parent company, who has a controlling interest and consolidates the subsidiary’s financial results with its own. The amount of equity relating to the non-controlling interest is separately identified in the equity section of the balance sheet and the amount of the net income (loss) relating to the non-controlling interest is separately identified on the statement of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption, except as noted below.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 2016-13 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. This accounting standard addresses the measurement of credit losses on financial statements. Management evaluated this standard and determined that it will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. It was determined that a potential credit loss needed to be recognized in relation to the note receivable held by the Company. See Note 4 for more details.

F-12

3. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities as of December 31, 2023:

	Debt Derivative Liabilities
Balance, December 31, 2022	$	3,262,612
Transfers in upon initial fair value of derivative liabilities		50,065
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities and warrant liability		(3,273,396	)
Balance, December 31, 2023	$	39,281

Derivative Liabilities – The Company issued convertible promissory notes which are convertible into common stock, at holders’ option, at a discount to the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to these notes relating to certain anti-dilutive (reset) provisions. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of debenture and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.

At December 31, 2023, the Company marked to market the fair value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $39,281. The Company recorded a gain from change in fair value of debt derivatives of $3,273,396 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using the Monte Carlo Valuation Model. The Monte Carlo Valuation Model was based on the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 521.7%, (2) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 5.15% and (3) expected life of 0.46 years.

Based upon ASC 840-15-25, the Company has adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to its outstanding convertible notes. Pursuant to the sequencing approach, the Company evaluates its contracts based upon earliest issuance date.

4. Note Receivable

On January 12, 2023, Inception Mining, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Mother Lode Mining, Inc. (“MLM”).

11. Income Taxes

The Company’s former subsidiaries, Compania Minera Cerros del Sur and Compania Minera Clavo Rico, which are located in Honduras, are required to pay income tax and solidarity tax on their income and/or assets annually. During 2022, the Company paid $109,904 for the 2021 tax liability and accrued for and estimated $13,973 for the 2022 fiscal year.

The Company accounts for U.S. income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The provision for income tax expense (recovery) is comprised the following amounts:

Tax Reconciliations	December 31, 2023			December 31, 2022
Tax at Statutory Rate	$	3,316,471		$	(1,041,630	)
Meals and Entertainment		(362	)		(280	)
Change in Derivative Liability		(851,083	)		(216,652	)
Amortization of Debt Discount		(20,028	)		(3,559	)
Accrued Interest		(11,212	)		723,448
Change in Valuation of Allowance		(2,456,210	)		681,255
Tax Provision	$	-		$	142,582

The components of deferred income tax in the accompanying balance sheets are as follows:

Deferred Tax Assets	December 31, 2023			December 31, 2022
(21% Federal, 5% Average Corporate Rate)
Net Operating Loss Carry-forwards	$	4,320,740		$	851,301
Depreciation		217,362			217,362
Accrued Interest		(11,213	)		723,448
Valuation Allowance		(4,526,890	)		(1,792,111	)
Deferred Tax Assets	$	-		$	-

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $1,872,892 and $11,318,460, respectively. A portion of the federal amount, $1,710,000, is subject to an annual limitation of approximately $17,000 as a result of a change in the Company’s ownership through February 2013, as defined by Federal Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and the related income tax regulations. As a result of the 20-year federal carry-forward period and the limitation, approximately, $1,400,000 of the net operating loss will expire unutilized. These net operating loss carry-forwards will expire through the year ending 2043.

The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating losses and the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize all of the net operating loss carry-forwards before they will expire through the year 2043.

The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The Company has not been audited by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in connection with income taxes. The Company’s tax years beginning with the year ended June 30, 2012 through December 31, 2023 generally remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service until its net operating loss carry-forwards are utilized and the applicable statutes of limitation have expired.

 12. Related Party Transactions

Consulting Agreement – In February 2014, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with the Company’s chief executive officer, stockholder and director. The Company agreed to pay $18,000 per month for twelve months. This agreement was renegotiated in October 2017 and the Company agreed to pay the stockholder/director $25,000 per month starting in October 2017. This agreement was superseded by an Employment Agreement as of July 1, 2018 (see Employment Agreements below). As of December 31, 2022, the Company owed $1,035,000 to the stockholder/director in accrued consulting fees. The accrued consulting fees were converted to equity on February 1, 2023 (see Note 8 – MDL Ventures). As of December 31, 2023, the balance of accrued consulting fees was $0.

Employment Agreements – Mr. Cluff currently serves as a director of the Company and has a separate agreement as a consultant of the Company effective as of October 2, 2015.

The Company has an employment agreement with its chief executive officer, Trent D’Ambrosio. The employment agreement was effective as of April 1, 2019 and provides for compensation of $300,000 annually. This agreement is effective for 60 months. Additionally, the employment agreement provides for benefits and an optional annual bonus to be determined by the Board of Directors.

Notes Payable – The Company took a few short-term notes payable from related parties during 2023. The Company received $39,303 in cash from related parties and paid out $39,000 in cash to related parties on notes payable (see Note 8).

Accounts Payable – Two officers/directors of the Company have been paying expenses for the Company on their personal credit cards. The Company has recorded these expenses and accrued the amounts in accounts payable to the individuals. As of December 31, 2023, there is $102,425 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company at times is subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The following is a summary of pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

On March 4, 2024, the Company filed a lawsuit against Mother Lode Mining, Inc., a Canadian company, and Robert Salna (the “Defendants"), alleging an amount of not less than $2,237,800 (plus interest, additional costs and attorneys’ fees) due from Defendants as a result of their breach of their obligations and duties arising from the sale of Compañía Minera Cerros Del Sur, S.A. de C.V. in 2023 (the “Sale”). In the complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, Central Division, the Company asserts claims related to alleged breach of contract and unjust enrichment against the Defendants, and seeks a monetary judgment and an award of attorneys’ fees and other expenses. The complaint arises from the Defendants’ failure to convey agreed-upon consideration to the Company as contracted for the sale of CMCS. The Company intends to pursue the lawsuit aggressively. Despite several attempts, the Company has not yet effected service of process on Mother Lode Mining, Inc.

On January 18, 2023, the Company negotiated a settlement with Antilles Family Office, LLC through which the Company paid $1,200,000 to Antilles and the remaining balance of $1,873,532 and the accrued interest of $3,695,059 under the original Secured Redeemable Convertible Promissory Note was forgiven.

F-23

The Company’s former subsidiary, Compañía Minera Clavo Rico, S.A. de C.V., has been served with a lawsuit filed by SAR, the taxing authority in Honduras, alleging additional tax liability due. The Complaint alleges that HNL7,186,151,96 lempires are due in a demand for execution of a forced extrajudicial title. The Company had accrued $256,674 in this matter, but the liability was extinguished with the sale of the subsidiary.

In the opinion of management, as of December 31, 2023, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such matters, if any, may be likely to have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, as the outcome of litigation and other claims is difficult to predict significant changes in the estimated exposures could exist.

On September 22, 2023, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with William McCluskey. This agreement requires the Company to pay $200,000 in consulting fees to William McCluskey before March 31, 2025. This amount is currently reported in accounts payable at December 31, 2023.

14. Concentrations

We generally sell a significant portion of our mineral production to a relatively small number of customers. For the year ended December 31, 2022, most of our consolidated product revenues were attributable to A-Mark Precious Metals and to Asahi Refining, Inc., our current and only two customers as of December 31, 2022. We are not dependent upon any one purchaser and have alternative purchasers readily available at competitive market prices if there is a disruption in services or other events that cause us to search for other ways to sell our production.

15. Discontinued Operations

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company decided to discontinue all of its operating activities. Based on that decision, the Company’s board of directors committed to a plan to sell the CMCS entity operating the mine in Honduras.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 205-20, the Company has separately reported the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations (held for sale) in the consolidated balance sheets.

1. Nature of Business

Inception Mining, Inc. (formerly known as Gold American Mining Corp.) was incorporated under the name of Golf Alliance Corporation and under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 2, 2007. Inception Mining, Inc. is a precious metal mineral acquisition, exploration and development company. Inception Development, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, was incorporated under the laws of the State of Idaho on January 28, 2013.

Golf Alliance Corporation pursued its original business plan to provide opportunities for golfers to play on private golf courses normally closed to them due to the membership requirements of the private clubs. During the year ended July 31, 2010, the Company decided to redirect its business focus toward precious metal mineral acquisition and exploration.

On March 5, 2010, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to (1) to change its name to Silver America, Inc. and (2) increased its authorized common stock from 100,000,000 to 500,000,000.

On June 23, 2010, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Gold American Mining Corp.

On November 21, 2012, the Company implemented a 200 to 1 reverse stock split. Upon effectiveness of the stock split, each shareholder cancelled 200 shares of common stock for every share of common stock owned as of November 21, 2012. This reverse stock split was effective on February 13, 2013. All share and per share references have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this 200 to 1 reverse stock split in the financial statements and in the notes to financial statements for all periods presented, to reflect the stock split as if it occurred on the first day of the first period presented.

On February 25, 2013, Gold American Mining Corp. and its majority shareholder (the “Majority Shareholder”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Inception Development Inc. (the “Subsidiary”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Inception Resources, LLC, a Utah corporation (“Inception Resources”), pursuant to which Inception purchased the U.P. and Burlington Gold Mine in consideration of 16,000,000 shares of common stock of Inception, the assumption of promissory notes in the amount of $950,000 and the assignment of a 3% net royalty. Inception Resources was an entity owned by and under the control of the majority shareholder. This transaction is deemed an asset purchase by entities under common control. The Asset Purchase Agreement closed on February 25, 2013 (the “Closing”). Inception was a “shell company” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately prior to our acquisition of the gold mine pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

On May 17, 2013, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Inception Mining, Inc. (“Inception” or the “Company”).

On October 2, 2015, the Company consummated a merger with Clavo Rico Ltd. (“Clavo Rico”). Clavo Rico is a privately held Turks and Caicos company with principal operations in Honduras, Central America. Clavo Rico operates the Clavo Rico mining concession through its subsidiaries Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A de C.V. and Compañía Minera Clavo Rico, S.A. de C.V. and holds other mining concessions. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued of 240,225,901 shares of common stock of Inception and assumed promissory notes in the amount of $5,488,980 and accrued interest of $3,434,426. Under this merger agreement, there was a change in control and it has been treated for accounting purposes as a reverse recapitalization with Clavo Rico, Ltd. being the surviving entity. Its workings include several historical underground operations dating back to the early Mayan and Spanish occupation.

On January 11, 2016, the Company implemented a 5.5 to 1 reverse stock split. This reverse stock split was effective on May 26, 2016. All share and per share references have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this 5.5 to 1 reverse stock split in the financial statements and in the notes to financial statements for all periods presented, to reflect the stock split as if it occurred on the first day of the first period presented. Immediately before the Reverse Split, the Company had 266,669,980 shares of common stock outstanding. Immediately after the Reverse Split, the Company had 48,485,451 shares of common stock outstanding, pending fractional-share rounding-up calculations to adjust for the Reverse Split.

On January 12, 2023, Inception Mining, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the “LOI”) with Mother Lode Mining, Inc. (“MLM”). The LOI became binding on January 24, 2023.

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the Company agreed to sell all of the shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Compañía Minera Cerros Del Sur, S.A. de C.V. (“CMCS”), to MLM. CMCS is the Honduran-based company that owns the Clavo Rico mine.

Since the Divestiture of the Clavo Rico Mine, the Company has been operating as a consultant and advisor to the mining industry, including to Mother Lode Mining, the new owner of the Clavo Rico mine. It also has an ongoing financial interest in the Clavo Rico Mine under the LOI.

COVID-19 – The Company has been impacted significantly by the COVID-19 global pandemic. In response to COVID-19, national and local governments around the world have instituted certain measures, including travel bans, prohibitions on group events and gatherings, shutdowns of certain businesses, curfews, shelter-in-place orders, and recommendations to practice social distancing. Based on management’s assessment as of December 31, 2023, the ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows is dependent on future developments, including the duration of the pandemic and the related length of its impact on the global economy, which are uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Going Concern – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements during year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $28,913,582, a working capital deficit of $1,566,347 and provided $1,242,675 in cash for operating activities. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued.

The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management is currently working to make changes that will result in profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources to meet the Company’s need for cash during the next twelve months and beyond.

Use of Estimates – In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenditures during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates may include those pertaining to valuation of inventories and mineralized material on leach pads, the estimated useful lives and valuation of properties, plant and equipment, mineral rights and properties, deferred tax assets, convertible preferred stock, derivative assets and liabilities, reclamation liabilities, stock-based compensation and payments, and contingent liabilities.

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Inception Mining, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Inception Development, Corp., Clavo Rico Development Corp., Clavo Rico, Ltd. and Compañía Minera Cerros del Río, S.A. de C.V., and its controlling interest subsidiaries, Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A. de C.V. and Compañía Minera Clavo Rico, S.A. de C.V. (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation through the date the subsidiaries were disposed of on January 24, 2023.

Basis of Presentation – The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no cash equivalents. The aggregate cash balance on deposit in these accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has never experienced any losses in such accounts.

Settlement of Contracts in Company’s Equity– In accordance with ASC 815-40-25, the Company must meet certain requirements in order to report contracts as equity versus liabilities. These requirements must be met by the Company or the contracts need to be reported as liabilities. The Company has adopted the sequencing approach as guidance on contracts that permit partial net share settlement. The Company evaluates the contracts based on the earliest issuance date. Currently, the Company doesn’t have any items that are reported as equity instead of liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements – The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including the party’s own credit risk.

Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

The fair value of financial instruments on December 31, 2023 are summarized below:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Warrant liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-
Debt derivative liabilities		-		-		39,281		39,281
Total Liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	39,281	$	39,281

The fair value of financial instruments on December 31, 2022 are summarized below:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Warrant liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-
Debt derivative liabilities		-		-		3,262,612		3,262,612
Total Liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	3,262,612	$	3,262,612

The Company recognizes its marketable securities as level 1 and values its marketable securities using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below in Note 3. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed below in Note 3 are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

Notes Receivable – Notes receivable include amounts due to the Company pursuant to financial agreements stipulating interest rates, payment terms and maturity dates. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, notes receivable balances include one note due from Mother Load Mining, Inc. in the amounts of $2,219,442 and $0, net of reserves of $2,219,442 and $0, respectively (see Note 4 – Note Receivable). However, the Company has elected to create an allowance for doubtful collection of this note for the full outstanding balance of $2,219,442 as of December 31, 2023 and recognized a bad debt expense of $2,219,442 during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Long-Lived Assets – We review the carrying amount of our long-lived assets for impairment whenever there are negative indicators of impairment. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is not considered recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flows.

Properties, Plant and Equipment – We record properties, plant and equipment at historical cost. We provide depreciation and amortization in amounts sufficient to match the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives or productive value. We capitalize expenditures for improvements that significantly extend the useful life of an asset. We charge expenditures for maintenance and repairs to operations when incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:

Building	7 to 15 years
Vehicles and equipment	3 to 7 years
Processing and laboratory	5 to 15 years
Furniture and fixtures	2 to 3 years

Stock Issued for Goods and Services – Common and preferred shares issued for goods and services are valued based upon the fair market value of our common stock or the goods and services received.

Stock-Based Compensation – For stock-based transactions, compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, based on the estimated fair value on the grant date of the award.

Income (Loss) per Common Share – Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss), less the preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Dilutive income (loss) per share includes any additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock options and warrants, and convertible instruments, if the impact is not antidilutive. 430,296,172,574 common share equivalents have been excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2022 because it would be anti-dilutive.

The following tables summaries the changes in the net earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

	For the Years Ended
Numerator	December 31, 2023			December 31, 2022
Net Income (Loss) - Controlling Interest	$	12,741,988		$	(4,147,141	)
Gain on Extinguishment of Debt		(6,313,102	)		-
Interest Expense		72,790			-
Change in Derivative Liabilities		(3,220,312	)		-
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) - Controlling Interest	$	3,281,364		$	(4,147,141	)
Denominator	Shares			Shares
Basic Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding during Period		2,330,753,561			215,083,605
Dilutive Shares		430,295,992,026			-
Diluted Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding during Period		432,626,745,587			215,083,605
Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share	$	0.00		$	(0.02	)

Comprehensive Loss – Comprehensive loss is made up of the exchange differences arising on translating foreign operations and the net loss for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Derivative Liabilities – Derivatives liabilities are recorded at fair value when issued and the subsequent change in fair value each period is recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. We do not hold or issue any derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

Income Taxes – The Company’s income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company develops assumptions including the amount of future state and federal pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income, and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is using to manage the underlying businesses. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which the Company does not consider realization of such deferred tax assets to be more likely than not.

Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management is not aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Business Segments – The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

Operating Lease – The Company leases its corporate headquarters and administrative offices in Salt Lake City, Utah. This lease expires in August 2024.

The supplemental balance sheet information related to the operating lease for the periods is as follows:

	December 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Operating leases
Right-of-use assets	$	9,595	$	23,106
Short-term operating lease liabilities	$	9,595	$	13,511
Long-term operating lease liabilities		-		9,595
Total operating lease liabilities	$	9,595	$	23,106

Maturities of the Company’s undiscounted operating lease liabilities are as follows:

Year Ending	Operating Lease
2024		10,505
Total lease payments		10,505
Less: imputed interest/present value discount		(910	)
Present value of lease liabilities	$	9,595

The Company made cash payments of $15,772 and $15,252 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company incurred rent expense of $15,772 and $15,252 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Non-Controlling Interest Policy – Non-controlling interest (NCI) is the portion of equity ownership in a subsidiary not attributable to the parent company, who has a controlling interest and consolidates the subsidiary’s financial results with its own. The amount of equity relating to the non-controlling interest is separately identified in the equity section of the balance sheet and the amount of the net income (loss) relating to the non-controlling interest is separately identified on the statement of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption, except as noted below.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 2016-13 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.

3. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company adopted the provisions of ASC subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825-10”) on January 1, 2008. ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The following table provides a summary of changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities as of December 31, 2023:

	Debt Derivative Liabilities
Balance, December 31, 2022	$	3,262,612
Transfers in upon initial fair value of derivative liabilities		50,065
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities and warrant liability		(3,273,396	)
Balance, December 31, 2023	$	39,281

Derivative Liabilities – The Company issued convertible promissory notes which are convertible into common stock, at holders’ option, at a discount to the market price of the Company’s common stock. The Company has identified the embedded derivatives related to these notes relating to certain anti-dilutive (reset) provisions. These embedded derivatives included certain conversion features. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date of debenture and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.

At December 31, 2023, the Company marked to market the fair value of the debt derivatives and determined a fair value of $39,281. The Company recorded a gain from change in fair value of debt derivatives of $3,273,396 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The fair value of the embedded derivatives was determined using the Monte Carlo Valuation Model. The Monte Carlo Valuation Model was based on the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 521.7%, (2) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 5.15% and (3) expected life of 0.46 years.

Based upon ASC 840-15-25, the Company has adopted a sequencing approach regarding the application of ASC 815-40 to its outstanding convertible notes. Pursuant to the sequencing approach, the Company evaluates its contracts based upon earliest issuance date.

The Company recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $1,783,593. The Company also made cash payments of $142,857 towards the principal balance of the note.

In the complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, Antilles alleges breach of contract and unjust enrichment against the Company and seeks a judgment in the collection action, an aware of attorneys’ fees and other expenses, and injunctive relief to preserve the assets of the Company. The Company has responded to the complaint with a motion to dismiss several counts of the complaint as impermissibly duplicative of the breach of contract claim, and intends to defend the lawsuit aggressively. On January 18, 2023, the Company negotiated a settlement and paid $1,200,000 to Antilles. The remaining balance of $1,873,532 and the accrued interest of $3,695,059 was forgiven.

(“Scotia”), in the principal amount of $400,000 (the “Note”) due on January 10, 2022 and bears 6% per annum interest, due at maturity. The Note was issued as part of a buyout agreement on the net smelter royalty due Scotia on the precious metals mined from the Company’s mining operation in Honduras. The Note is convertible into common stock, at holder’s option, at $0.50 per share as long as the Company’s common stock’s bid price is less than $0.75 per share. If the bid price is more than $0.75 per share, then Scotia may elect to convert at the average bid price of the common stock during the 10-trading day period prior to conversion. On April 12, 2023, the Company negotiated a settlement with the lender on this note. This note reverted to a non-convertible note with a balance of $75,000 and does not accrue interest (see note 7 for more details) and the remaining balance along with accrued interest was forgiven. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a gain on settlement of debt of $421,289. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company paid this debt in full. As of December 31, 2023, the gross balance of the note was $0 and accrued interest was $0.

11. Income Taxes

The Company’s former subsidiaries, Compania Minera Cerros del Sur and Compania Minera Clavo Rico, which are located in Honduras, are required to pay income tax and solidarity tax on their income and/or assets annually. During 2022, the Company paid $109,904 for the 2021 tax liability and accrued for and estimated $13,973 for the 2022 fiscal year.

The Company accounts for U.S. income taxes under FASB Codification Topic 740-10-25 (“ASC 740-10-25”). Under ASC 740-10-25, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740-10-25, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The provision for income tax expense (recovery) is comprised the following amounts:

Tax Reconciliations	December 31, 2023			December 31, 2022
Tax at Statutory Rate	$	3,316,471		$	(1,041,630	)
Meals and Entertainment		(362	)		(280	)
Change in Derivative Liability		(851,083	)		(216,652	)
Amortization of Debt Discount		(20,028	)		(3,559	)
Accrued Interest		(11,212	)		723,448
Change in Valuation of Allowance		(2,456,210	)		681,255
Tax Provision	$	-		$	142,582

The components of deferred income tax in the accompanying balance sheets are as follows:

Deferred Tax Assets	December 31, 2023			December 31, 2022
(21% Federal, 5% Average Corporate Rate)
Net Operating Loss Carry-forwards	$	4,320,740		$	851,301
Depreciation		217,362			217,362
Accrued Interest		(11,213	)		723,448
Valuation Allowance		(4,526,890	)		(1,792,111	)
Deferred Tax Assets	$	-		$	-

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of approximately $1,872,892 and $11,318,460, respectively. A portion of the federal amount, $1,710,000, is subject to an annual limitation of approximately $17,000 as a result of a change in the Company’s ownership through February 2013, as defined by Federal Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and the related income tax regulations. As a result of the 20-year federal carry-forward period and the limitation, approximately, $1,400,000 of the net operating loss will expire unutilized. These net operating loss carry-forwards will expire through the year ending 2043.

The valuation allowance was established to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This is necessary due to the Company’s continued operating losses and the uncertainty of the Company’s ability to utilize all of the net operating loss carry-forwards before they will expire through the year 2043.

The Company is subject to income tax in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The Company has not been audited by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service in connection with income taxes. The Company’s tax years beginning with the year ended June 30, 2012 through December 31, 2023 generally remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service until its net operating loss carry-forwards are utilized and the applicable statutes of limitation have expired.

Litigation

The Company at times is subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The following is a summary of pending or threatened lawsuits that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the results of operations of the Company.

On March 4, 2024, the Company filed a lawsuit against Mother Lode Mining, Inc., a Canadian company, and Robert Salna (the “Defendants"), alleging an amount of not less than $2,237,800 (plus interest, additional costs and attorneys’ fees) due from Defendants as a result of their breach of their obligations and duties arising from the sale of Compañía Minera Cerros Del Sur, S.A. de C.V. in 2023 (the “Sale”). In the complaint, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, Central Division, the Company asserts claims related to alleged breach of contract and unjust enrichment against the Defendants, and seeks a monetary judgment and an award of attorneys’ fees and other expenses. The complaint arises from the Defendants’ failure to convey agreed-upon consideration to the Company as contracted for the sale of CMCS. The Company intends to pursue the lawsuit aggressively. Despite several attempts, the Company has not yet effected service of process on Mother Lode Mining, Inc.

On January 18, 2023, the Company negotiated a settlement with Antilles Family Office, LLC through which the Company paid $1,200,000 to Antilles and the remaining balance of $1,873,532 and the accrued interest of $3,695,059 under the original Secured Redeemable Convertible Promissory Note was forgiven.

The Company’s former subsidiary, Compañía Minera Clavo Rico, S.A. de C.V., has been served with a lawsuit filed by SAR, the taxing authority in Honduras, alleging additional tax liability due. The Complaint alleges that HNL7,186,151,96 lempires are due in a demand for execution of a forced extrajudicial title. The Company had accrued $256,674 in this matter, but the liability was extinguished with the sale of the subsidiary.

In the opinion of management, as of December 31, 2023, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to such matters, if any, may be likely to have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, as the outcome of litigation and other claims is difficult to predict significant changes in the estimated exposures could exist.

On September 22, 2023, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with William McCluskey. This agreement requires the Company to pay $200,000 in consulting fees to William McCluskey before March 31, 2025. This amount is currently reported in accounts payable at December 31, 2023.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Going Concern

Going Concern – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements during year ended December 31, 2023, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $28,913,582, a working capital deficit of $1,566,347 and provided $1,242,675 in cash for operating activities. These factors among others raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued.

The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources. There can be no assurance that the Company’s financing efforts will result in profitable operations or the resolution of the Company’s liquidity problems. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management is currently working to make changes that will result in profitable operations and to obtain additional funding sources to meet the Company’s need for cash during the next twelve months and beyond.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates – In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenditures during the reported periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Estimates may include those pertaining to valuation of inventories and mineralized material on leach pads, the estimated useful lives and valuation of properties, plant and equipment, mineral rights and properties, deferred tax assets, convertible preferred stock, derivative assets and liabilities, reclamation liabilities, stock-based compensation and payments, and contingent liabilities.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Inception Mining, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Inception Development, Corp., Clavo Rico Development Corp., Clavo Rico, Ltd. and Compañía Minera Cerros del Río, S.A. de C.V., and its controlling interest subsidiaries, Compañía Minera Cerros del Sur, S.A. de C.V. and Compañía Minera Clavo Rico, S.A. de C.V. (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany accounts have been eliminated upon consolidation through the date the subsidiaries were disposed of on January 24, 2023.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation – The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had no cash equivalents. The aggregate cash balance on deposit in these accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. The Company has never experienced any losses in such accounts.

Settlement of Contracts in Company's Equity

Settlement of Contracts in Company’s Equity– In accordance with ASC 815-40-25, the Company must meet certain requirements in order to report contracts as equity versus liabilities. These requirements must be met by the Company or the contracts need to be reported as liabilities. The Company has adopted the sequencing approach as guidance on contracts that permit partial net share settlement. The Company evaluates the contracts based on the earliest issuance date. Currently, the Company doesn’t have any items that are reported as equity instead of liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements – The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that could be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Financial assets are marked to bid prices and financial liabilities are marked to offer prices. The fair value should be calculated based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, not on assumptions specific to the entity. In addition, the fair value of liabilities should include consideration of non-performance risk, including the party’s own credit risk.

Fair value measurements do not include transaction costs. A fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy is defined into the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

The fair value of financial instruments on December 31, 2023 are summarized below:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Warrant liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-
Debt derivative liabilities		-		-		39,281		39,281
Total Liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	39,281	$	39,281

The fair value of financial instruments on December 31, 2022 are summarized below:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Warrant liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-
Debt derivative liabilities		-		-		3,262,612		3,262,612
Total Liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	3,262,612	$	3,262,612

The Company recognizes its marketable securities as level 1 and values its marketable securities using the methods discussed below. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

The Company recognizes its derivative liabilities as level 3 and values its derivatives using the methods discussed below in Note 3. While the Company believes that its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, it recognizes that the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The primary assumptions that would significantly affect the fair values using the methods discussed below in Note 3 are that of volatility and market price of the underlying common stock of the Company.

Notes Receivable

Notes Receivable – Notes receivable include amounts due to the Company pursuant to financial agreements stipulating interest rates, payment terms and maturity dates. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, notes receivable balances include one note due from Mother Load Mining, Inc. in the amounts of $2,219,442 and $0, net of reserves of $2,219,442 and $0, respectively (see Note 4 – Note Receivable). However, the Company has elected to create an allowance for doubtful collection of this note for the full outstanding balance of $2,219,442 as of December 31, 2023 and recognized a bad debt expense of $2,219,442 during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-Lived Assets – We review the carrying amount of our long-lived assets for impairment whenever there are negative indicators of impairment. An asset is considered impaired when estimated future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset. In the event the carrying amount of such asset is not considered recoverable, the asset is adjusted to its fair value. Fair value is generally determined based on discounted future cash flows.

Properties, Plant and Equipment

Properties, Plant and Equipment – We record properties, plant and equipment at historical cost. We provide depreciation and amortization in amounts sufficient to match the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives or productive value. We capitalize expenditures for improvements that significantly extend the useful life of an asset. We charge expenditures for maintenance and repairs to operations when incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:

Building	7 to 15 years
Vehicles and equipment	3 to 7 years
Processing and laboratory	5 to 15 years
Furniture and fixtures	2 to 3 years

Stock Issued for Goods and Services

Stock Issued for Goods and Services – Common and preferred shares issued for goods and services are valued based upon the fair market value of our common stock or the goods and services received.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation – For stock-based transactions, compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, based on the estimated fair value on the grant date of the award.

Income (Loss) per Common Share

Income (Loss) per Common Share – Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss), less the preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Dilutive income (loss) per share includes any additional dilution from common stock equivalents, such as stock options and warrants, and convertible instruments, if the impact is not antidilutive. 430,296,172,574 common share equivalents have been excluded from the diluted loss per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2022 because it would be anti-dilutive.

The following tables summaries the changes in the net earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

	For the Years Ended
Numerator	December 31, 2023			December 31, 2022

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive Loss – Comprehensive loss is made up of the exchange differences arising on translating foreign operations and the net loss for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Derivative Liabilities

Derivative Liabilities – Derivatives liabilities are recorded at fair value when issued and the subsequent change in fair value each period is recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. We do not hold or issue any derivative financial instruments for speculative trading purposes.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes – The Company’s income tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company develops assumptions including the amount of future state and federal pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income, and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is using to manage the underlying businesses. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which the Company does not consider realization of such deferred tax assets to be more likely than not.

Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management is not aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

Business Segments

Non-Controlling Interest Policy

Non-Controlling Interest Policy – Non-controlling interest (NCI) is the portion of equity ownership in a subsidiary not attributable to the parent company, who has a controlling interest and consolidates the subsidiary’s financial results with its own. The amount of equity relating to the non-controlling interest is separately identified in the equity section of the balance sheet and the amount of the net income (loss) relating to the non-controlling interest is separately identified on the statement of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. If not discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards, which are not yet effective, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption, except as noted below.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 2016-13 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. This accounting standard addresses the measurement of credit losses on financial statements. Management evaluated this standard and determined that it will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. It was determined that a potential credit loss needed to be recognized in relation to the note receivable held by the Company. See Note 4 for more details.
