OFFERING CIRCULAR DATED NOVEMBER 2, 20201

 

 

 

MAGELLAN GOLD CORPORATION

602 Cedar St., Ste. 205

Wallace, ID 83873

(208) 556-1600

 

Maximum Amount: $3,000,000

 

Magellan Gold Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company,” “we,” or “our”), is offering up to 3,000,000 (the “Maximum Offering”) units (the “Units”) of the Company for $ [ _____ ] per Unit (the “Offering Price”) on a “best-efforts/no minimum” basis (the “Offering”). Each Unit is comprised of one share (a “Common Share”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company and one-half warrant (the “Warrant”). Only whole Warrants are exercisable. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of our Common Stock (a “Warrant Share”) for $ [ _____ ] per share (the “Exercise Price”), subject to certain adjustments, from the date of issuance until the second (2nd) anniversary date of the date of issuance. The Units have no stand-alone rights and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities. The Common Shares and the Warrants comprising the Units are immediately separable and will be issued separately in this Offering.

 

The Company’s Common Stock is listed on the OTCQB under the symbol “MAGE.” For further information, the closing price of our Common Stock on November 2, 2021 was approximately $0.80 per share.

 

We currently estimate that the Offering Price will be between $0.70 and $1.00 per Unit and the Exercise Price will be between $1.00 and $1.50 per Warrant Share. The Offering Price range and Exercise Price range were determined by management in order to attract investors in this Offering and is based on a discount to the trading price of our Common Stock on the OTC Markets over the past six months, taking into account trading volume, price range, volume weighted average pricing and other factors. The price range also reflects prices at which we believe we can sell such Units in a timely manner, and is not based on book value, assets, earnings or any other recognizable standard of value. Unless otherwise notice, in this Offering Circular, we have assumed an Offering Price of $1.00 per Unit and an Exercise Price of $1.50 per whole Warrant. The Company will determine the final Offering Price and the Exercise Price after the qualification of the offering statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part, and the Company will sell the Units and Warrants in this Offering at the fixed prices for the duration of the Offering. See Plan of Distribution.”

 

We are selling our Units through a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A (Regulation A+) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and we intend to sell the Units either directly to investors or through registered broker-dealers who are paid commissions. The Company has engaged Dalmore Group, LLC, a New York limited liability company and FINRA/SIPC registered broker-dealer (“Dalmore”), to provide broker-dealer services in connection with this offering. We expect to commence the sale of the Units within two calendar days of the date on which the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is qualified (the “Qualification Date”) by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Offering will terminate on the earlier of (i) the first year anniversary after the Qualification Date; (ii) the date on which the Maximum Offering is sold, or (iii) when the Board of Directors of the Company elects to terminate the offering (in each such case, the “Termination Date”). There is no aggregate minimum requirement for the Offering to become effective; therefore, we reserve the right, subject to applicable securities laws, to begin utilizing the first proceeds we receive from the Offering towards our business strategy, offering expenses, working capital and general corporate purposes, and other uses, as more specifically set forth in the “Use of Proceeds” section of this Offering Circular. The minimum investment amount for an investor is $500 (500 Units); however, we reserve the right to waive this minimum in the sole discretion of our management.

 

No Escrow

 

The proceeds of this Offering will not be placed into an escrow account. We will hold closings upon the receipt of investors’ subscriptions and acceptance of such subscriptions by the Company. If, on the initial closing date, we have sold less than the Maximum Offering, then we may hold one or more additional closings for additional sales, until the earlier of: (i) the sale of the Maximum Offering, or (ii) the Termination Date.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. These are speculative securities. You should purchase these securities only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See “Risk Factors” starting on page 6 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider in connection with an investment in our securities.

 

THE SEC DOES NOT PASS UPON THE MERITS OF OR GIVE ITS APPROVAL TO ANY SECURITIES OFFERED OR THE TERMS OF THE OFFERING, NOR DOES IT PASS UPON THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OFFERING CIRCULAR OR OTHER SOLICITATION MATERIALS. THESE SECURITIES ARE OFFERED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WITH THE SEC; HOWEVER, THE SEC HAS NOT MADE AN INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION THAT THE SECURITIES OFFERED ARE EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements under “Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Our Business” and elsewhere in this Offering Circular constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “will” and “would” or the negatives of these terms or other comparable terminology.

 

You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this Offering Circular, including in risk factors and elsewhere, identify important factors which you should consider in evaluating our forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things:

 

With respect to our mineral exploration business, these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the following:

 

  the risk factors set forth below under “Risk Factors” starting on page 6 of this Offering Circular;
  risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, weather or geologically related conditions);
  uncertainties inherent in our exploratory and developmental activities, including risks relating to permitting and regulatory delays;
  our future business plans and strategies;
  our ability to commercially develop our mining interests.;
  changes that could result from our future acquisition of new mining properties or businesses;
  expectations regarding competition from other companies;
  effects of environmental and other governmental regulations;
  the worldwide economic downturn and difficult conditions in the global capital and credit markets; and
  our ability to raise additional financing necessary to conduct our business.

 

Forward-looking statements may include estimated mineral reserves and resources which could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements include:

 

  the risk factors set forth below “Risk Factors” starting on page on page 6;
  changes in the market prices of precious minerals, including gold; and
  uncertainties inherent in the estimation of ore reserves.

 

In addition to the foregoing, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic poses significant risks and uncertainties in numerous areas, including the availability of labor and materials to explore our mineral interests, risks impacting the cost and availability of insurance and the markets for precious metals. We cannot predict with any certainty the nature and extent of the impact that the pandemic will have on our business plan and operations.

 

Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements made in this Offering Circular, the inclusion of this information should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that our objectives and plans will be achieved.

 

Although the forward-looking statements in this Offering Circular are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations, taking into account all information currently available to us, we cannot guarantee future transactions, results, performance, achievements or outcomes. No assurance can be made to any investor by anyone that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements will be attained, or that deviations from them will not be material and adverse. We undertake no obligation, other than as maybe be required by law, to reissue this Offering Circular or otherwise make public statements updating our forward-looking statements.

Company Information

 

Magellan Gold Corporation was formed and organized on September 28, 2010 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our headquarters are located at 602 Cedar St., Ste. 205, Wallace, ID 83873 and our telephone number is (208) 556-1600. Our website address is https://www.magellangoldcorp.com. The information contained therein or accessible thereby shall not be deemed to be incorporated into this Offering Circular.

 

Our Business

 

We are an exploration stage company and our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources in Idaho initially, and elsewhere in the future. We have not presently determined whether the property to which we have mining rights contain mineral deposits that are economically recoverable.

 

Center Star Mine Project

 

In July 2020, we acquired Clearwater Gold Mining Corporation (“Clearwater”) which owns certain unpatented mining claims in Idaho County, Idaho, including the historic Center Star Gold Mine near Elk City, Idaho (“Center Star Mine”). The Center Star Mine hosts high grade gold mineralization that was discovered in the early 1900’s. There was periodic historic production and development work done under different ownership through the 1980s. With the high-grade gold mineralization present, Magellan will be evaluating the historic mine data to assess the potential to develop a gold resource at Center Star Mine. The project area is located 45 miles from Grangeville, Idaho and near the town of Elk City, Idaho.

 

Based upon our research, gold mineralization at Center Star Mine is hosted in multiple parallel quartz veins in a banded gneiss1. Like many of the historic mines in the Elk City area, the gold is present in steeply dipping quartz veins. The gold at the Center Star Mine occurs in high grade veins that trend north-easterly and dip steeply to the south east. These veins are present in a 75’ to 100’ wide sheer zone hosting quartz veins and breccia. It is believed the gold bearing veins vary from inches to 20 feet in width and contain gold from 0.35 ounce per ton gold to multi ounce per ton gold based on historic mine data. The property was historically developed by various owners and has had some production history of gold and silver production. The Center Star Mine has not had any exploration or development work conducted in the last 35 years.

 

Competitive Conditions

 

Gold is freely sold into the international marketplace with virtually no restrictions. The price of gold is derived largely from a complex interaction of market forces.

 

 


1 Gneiss is a common and widely distributed type of metamorphic rock. Gneiss is formed by high-temperature and high-pressure metamorphic processes acting on formations composed of igneous or sedimentary rocks. Orthogneiss is gneiss derived from igneous rock. Paragneiss is gneiss derived from sedimentary rock.

Risks Related to Our Business

 

Our business and our ability to execute our business strategy are subject to a number of risks, which are more fully described in the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6. These risks include, among others:

 

Business risks including risks related to:

 

lack of revenue;
novel coronavirus;
global economy;
competition;
legal and regulatory proceedings;
the nature of mining, mineral exploration and development projects;
licenses and permits, laws and regulations
environmental risks;
title to properties;
insurance;
key personnel;
  dependence on outside parties;
limited property portfolio;
community relations and license to operate;
emerging market risks;
additional financings;
dilution; and
no minimum amount required as a condition of our accepting subscriptions and using the funds raised in this Offering.

 

Financial and accounting risks including:

 

estimates or judgments relating to critical accounting policies; and
failure to develop internal controls.

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since inception, we have funded operations with proceeds from the sale and issuance of equity to investors. Our future viability is largely dependent upon our ability to raise additional capital to finance our operations. Our management expects that future sources of funding may include sales of equity, obtaining loans, or other strategic transactions. Although our management continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that we will be successful with this Offering or in obtaining sufficient financing on terms acceptable to us to continue to finance our operations, if at all. These circumstances raise substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern, and our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) emerged in China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. The outbreak has now spread to the United States and infections have been reported globally.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly evolving. The information in this Offering Circular is based on data currently available to us and will likely change as the pandemic progresses. As COVID-19 continues to spread throughout areas in which we operate, we believe the outbreak has the potential to have a material negative impact on our operating results and financial condition. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our operators, employees and vendors, and the impact on the Company’s ability to obtain debt and equity financing to fund ongoing exploration activities, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Given these uncertainties, we cannot reasonably estimate the related impact to our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

 

 2 

 

 

We expect the trends highlighted above with respect to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to continue and, in some cases, accelerate. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s continued effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, the pace at which jurisdictions across the country re-open and restrictions begin to lift, the availability of government financial support to our business, tenants and operators and whether a resurgence of the outbreak occurs. Due to these uncertainties, we are not able at this time to estimate the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows but it could be material.

 

Dividends

 

The Company has not declared or paid a cash dividend to stockholders since it was organized and does not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. The Board of Directors presently intends to retain any earnings to finance our operations and does not expect to authorize cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends in the future will depend upon the Company’s earnings, capital requirements and other factors.

 

Trading Market

 

Our Common Stock is currently trading on the OTC Markets’ OTCQB tier under the symbol “MAGE.” No market exists for the Warrants underlying the Warrants and none expected to develop.

 

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

The JOBS Act provides that, so long as a company qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will, among other things:

 

be exempted from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, requiring its independent registered public accounting firm to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting;
   
be exempted from the “say on pay” and “say on golden parachute” advisory vote requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Customer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), and certain disclosure requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to compensation of its chief executive officer, and be permitted to omit the detailed compensation discussion and analysis from proxy statements and reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and
   
instead provide a reduced level of disclosure concerning executive compensation, and be exempted from any rules that may be adopted by the Public company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotations, or a supplement to the auditor’s report on the financial statements.

 

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

 

It should be noted that notwithstanding our status as an emerging growth company, we would be eligible for these exemptions because of our status as a “smaller reporting company” as defined by the Exchange Act.

RISK FACTORS

 

The following is only a summary of the risks pertaining to our Company. Investment in our securities involves risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to other information contained in this Offering Circular. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Some statements in this Offering Circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute “forward-looking statements.”

 

Risks Related to our Business and Industry

 

We have a going concern opinion from our auditors, indicating the possibility that we may not continue to operate. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, our stockholders may lose some or all of their investment in us.

 

At June 30, 2021, we had not yet generated any revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $17,319,954. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Due to our continuing operating losses and negative cash flows from our operations, the reports of our auditors issued in connection with our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, contain explanatory paragraphs indicating that the foregoing matters raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to continue as a going concern. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due.

 

Uncontrollable events like the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact 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 no history of and limited experience in mineral production.

 

We have no history of and limited experience in producing gold or other metals. In addition, our management has limited technical training and experience with exploring for, starting and/or operating a mine. Our management may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within this industry. Their decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral exploration companies commonly use. Our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer due to our management’s limited experience in this industry. As a result, we would be subject to all of the risks associated with establishing a new mining operation and business enterprise. We may never successfully establish mining operations, and any such operations may not achieve profitability.

 

We have no proven or probable reserves.

 

We are currently in the exploration stage and have no proven or probable reserves, as those terms are defined by the SEC on any of our properties.

 

 

 6 

 

 

In order to demonstrate the existence of proven or probable reserves under SEC guidelines, it would be necessary for us to advance the exploration of our properties by significant additional delineation drilling to demonstrate the existence of sufficient mineralized material with satisfactory continuity which would provide the basis for a feasibility study which would demonstrate with reasonable certainty that the mineralized material can be economically extracted and produced. We do not have sufficient data to support a feasibility study with regard to the properties, and in order to perform the drill work to support such feasibility study, we must obtain the necessary permits and funds to continue our exploration efforts. It is possible that, even after we have obtained sufficient geologic data to support a feasibility study on the properties, such study will conclude that none of the identified mineral deposits can be economically and legally extracted or produced. If we cannot adequately confirm or discover any mineral reserves of precious metals on the properties, we may not be able to generate any revenues. Even if we discover mineral reserves on the properties in the future that can be economically developed, the initial capital costs associated with development and production of any reserves found is such that we might not be profitable for a significant time after the initiation of any development or production. The commercial viability of a mineral deposit once discovered is dependent on a number of factors beyond our control, including particular attributes of the deposit such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure, as well as metal prices. In addition, development of a project as significant as the ones we might be planning will likely require significant debt financing, the terms of which could contribute to a delay of profitability.

 

The exploration of mineral properties is highly speculative in nature, involves substantial expenditures and is frequently non-productive.

 

Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature and is frequently non-productive. Substantial expenditures are required to:

 

  · establish ore reserves through drilling and metallurgical and other testing techniques;
  · determine metal content and metallurgical recovery processes to extract metal from the ore; and,
  · design mining and processing facilities.

 

If we discover ore at the properties, we expect that it would be several additional years from the initial phases of exploration until production is possible. During this time, the economic feasibility of production could change. As a result of these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that our exploration programs will result in proven and probable reserves in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations.

 

Even if our exploration efforts at Center Start Gold Mine or other properties we acquire are successful, we may not be able to raise the funds necessary to develop the property.

 

If our exploration efforts at our Center Start Gold Mine and other prospects are successful, of which there can be no assurance, our current estimates indicate that we may be required to raise substantial external financing to develop and construct the mines. Sources of external financing could include bank borrowings and debt and equity offerings, but financing has become significantly more difficult to obtain in the current market environment. The failure to obtain financing would have a material adverse effect on our growth strategy and our results of operations and financial condition. We currently have no specific plan to obtain the necessary funding and there exist no agreements, commitments or arrangements to provide us with the financing that we may need. There can be no assurance that we will commence production at any of our properties or generate sufficient revenues to meet our obligations as they become due or obtain necessary financing on acceptable terms, if at all, and we may not be able to secure the financing necessary to begin or sustain production at the properties. Our failure to raise needed funding could also result in our inability to meet our future royalty and work commitments under our mineral leases, which could result in a forfeiture of our mineral interest altogether and a default under other financial commitments. In addition, should we incur significant losses in future periods, we may be unable to continue as a going concern, and we may not be able to realize our assets and settle our liabilities in the normal course of business at amounts reflected in our financial statements included or incorporated herein by reference.

Insurance Risks

 

The Company’s business is capital intensive and subject to a number of risks and hazards, including environmental pollution, accidents or spills, industrial and transportation accidents, labor disputes, changes in the regulatory environment, natural phenomena (such as inclement weather conditions, earthquakes, pit wall failures and cave-ins) and encountering unusual or unexpected geological conditions. Many of the foregoing risks and hazards could result in damage to, or destruction of the Company’s mineral properties or future processing facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage, delays in or interruption of or cessation of their exploration or development activities, delay in or inability to receive regulatory approvals to transport their products, or costs, monetary losses and potential legal liability and adverse governmental action. The Company may be subject to liability or sustain loss for certain risks and hazards against which they do not or cannot insure or which it may reasonably elect not to insure. This lack of insurance coverage could result in material economic harm to the Company.

 

Dependence on Sole Executive Officer and Recruiting Key Personnel

 

Michael B. Lavigne is the sole executive officer of the Company and is critical to the Company’s success. The loss of Mr. Lavigne would have a materially adverse effect on our business. Also, recruiting qualified personnel as the Company grows is critical to its success. The number of persons skilled in the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties is limited and competition for such persons is intense. As the Company’s business activity grows, it will require additional key financial, administrative, regulatory and mining personnel as well as additional operations staff. If the Company is not successful in attracting and training qualified personnel, the efficiency of its operations could be affected, which could have an adverse impact on future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and the financial condition of the Company.

 

Dependence on Outside Parties.

 

The Company has relied upon consultants, geologists, engineers and others and intends to rely on these parties for exploration and development expertise. Substantial expenditures are required to construct mines, to establish mineral resources and reserves through drilling, to carry out environmental and social impact assessments, to develop metallurgical processes to extract metal from ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the exploration and plant infrastructure at any particular site. If such parties’ work is deficient or negligent or is not completed in a timely manner, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Limited Property Portfolio

 

At this time, the Company holds an interest in the Center Start Gold Mine. As a result, unless the Company acquires additional property interests, any adverse developments affecting this property could have a material adverse effect upon the Company and would materially and adversely affect the potential future mineral resource production, profitability, financial performance and results of operations of the Company.

 

Community Relations and License to Operate

 

The Company’s relationship with the local communities where it operates is critical to ensure the future success of its existing activities and the potential development and operation of its Center Start Gold Mine. Failure by the Company to maintain good relations with local communities can result in adverse claims and difficulties for the Company. There is also an increasing level of public concern relating to the perceived effect of mining activities on the environment and on communities impacted by such activities. NGOs and civil society groups, some of which oppose resource development, are often vocal critics of the mining industry and its practices, including the use of hazardous substances and the handling, transportation and storage of various waste, including hazardous waste. Adverse publicity generated by such NGOs and civil society groups or others related to the extractive industries generally, or the Company’s operations specifically, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and its reputation. Reputation loss may result in decreased investor confidence, increased challenges in developing and maintaining community relations and an impediment to the Corporation’s overall ability to advance its projects, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Emerging Market Risks.

 

Emerging market investment generally poses a greater degree of risk than investment in more mature market economies because the economies in the developing world are more susceptible to destabilization resulting from domestic and international developments.

 

We may not be able to obtain permits required for development Center Start Gold Mine or any other properties we acquire.

 

In the ordinary course of business, mining companies are required to seek governmental permits for expansion of existing operations or for the commencement of new operations. We will be required to obtain numerous permits for our properties. Obtaining the necessary governmental permits is a complex and time-consuming process involving numerous jurisdictions and often involving public hearings and costly undertakings. Our efforts to develop the properties may also be opposed by environmental groups. In addition, mining projects require the evaluation of environmental impacts for air, water, vegetation, wildlife, cultural, historical, geological, geotechnical, geochemical, soil and socioeconomic conditions. An Environmental Impact Statement would be required before we could commence mine development or mining activities. Baseline environmental conditions are the basis on which direct and indirect impacts of the properties are evaluated and based on which potential mitigation measures would be proposed. If the properties were found to significantly adversely impact the baseline conditions, we could incur significant additional costs to avoid or mitigate the adverse impact, and delays in the development of properties could result.

 

Permits would also be required for, among other things, storm-water discharge; air quality; wetland disturbance; dam safety (for water storage and/or tailing storage); septic and sewage; and water rights appropriation. In addition, compliance must be demonstrated with the Endangered Species Act and the National Historical Preservation Act.

 

The mining industry is intensely competitive.

 

The mining industry is intensely competitive. We may be at a competitive disadvantage because we must compete with other individuals and companies, many of which have greater financial resources, operational experience and technical capabilities than we do. Increased competition could adversely affect our ability to attract necessary capital funding or acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for mineral exploration in the future. We may also encounter increasing competition from other mining companies in our efforts to locate acquisition targets, hire experienced mining professionals and acquire exploration resources.

 

Our future success is subject to risks inherent in the mining industry.

 

Our future mining operations, if any, would be subject to all of the hazards and risks normally incident to developing and operating mining properties. These risks include:

 

  · insufficient ore reserves;
  · fluctuations in metal prices and increase in production costs that may make mining of reserves uneconomic;
  · significant environmental and other regulatory restrictions;
  · labor disputes; geological problems;
  · failure of underground stopes and/or surface dams;
  · force majeure events; and
  · the risk of injury to persons, property or the environment.

 

Our future profitability will be affected by changes in the prices of metals.

 

If we establish reserves, and complete development of a mine, our profitability and long-term viability will depend, in large part, on the market price of gold. The market prices for metals are volatile and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including:

 

  · global or regional consumption patterns;
  · supply of, and demand for, gold and other metals;
  · speculative activities;
  · expectations for inflation; and
  · political and economic conditions.

 

 

 9 

 

 

The aggregate effect of these factors on metals prices is impossible for us to predict. Decreases in metals prices could adversely affect our ability to finance the exploration and development of our properties, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations and cash flows. There can be no assurance that metals prices will not decline.

 

The price of gold may decline in the future. If the price of gold and silver is depressed for a sustained period, we may be forced to suspend operations until the prices increase, and to record asset impairment write-downs. Any continued or increased net losses or asset impairments would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

We are subject to significant governmental regulations.

 

Our operations and exploration and development activities are subject to extensive federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing various matters, including:

 

  · environmental protection;
  · management and use of toxic substances and explosives;
  · management of natural resources;
  · exploration and development of mines, production and post-closure reclamation;
  · taxation;
  · labor standards and occupational health and safety, including mine safety; and
  · historic and cultural preservation.

 

Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in civil or criminal fines or penalties or enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities enjoining or curtailing operations or requiring corrective measures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions, any of which could result in us incurring significant expenditures. We may also be required to compensate private parties suffering loss or damage by reason of a breach of such laws, regulations or permitting requirements. It is also possible that future laws and regulations, or a more stringent enforcement of current laws and regulations by governmental authorities, could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions on or suspensions of any future operations and delays in the exploration of our properties.

 

Changes in mining or environmental laws could increase costs and impair our ability to develop our properties.

 

From time to time the U.S. government may determine to revise U.S. mining and environmental laws. It remains unclear to what extent new legislation or regulations may affect existing mining claims or operations. The effect of any such revisions on our operations cannot be determined conclusively until such revision is enacted; however, such legislation could materially increase costs on properties located on federal lands, such as ours, and such revision could also impair our ability to develop the properties and to explore and develop other mineral projects.

 

Compliance with environmental regulations and litigation based on environmental regulations could require significant expenditures.

 

Mining exploration and mining are subject to the potential risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the environment and the disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral exploration and production. Insurance against environmental risk (including potential liability for pollution or other hazards as a result of the disposal of waste products occurring from exploration and production) is not generally available to us (or to other companies in the minerals industry) at a reasonable price.

 

Environmental regulations mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees.

To the extent we are subject to environmental liabilities, the settlement of such liabilities or the costs that we may incur to remedy environmental pollution would reduce funds otherwise available to us and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. If we are unable to fully remedy an environmental problem, it might be required to suspend operations or enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy. The environmental standards that may ultimately be imposed at a mine site impact the cost of remediation and may exceed the financial accruals that have been made for such remediation. The potential exposure may be significant and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Moreover, governmental authorities and private parties may bring lawsuits based upon damage to property and injury to persons resulting from the environmental, health and safety impacts of our operations, which could lead to the imposition of substantial fines, remediation costs, penalties and other civil and criminal sanctions. Substantial costs and liabilities, including for restoring the environment after the closure of mines, are inherent in our proposed operations

 

Some mining wastes are currently exempt to a limited extent from the extensive set of the federal Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) regulations governing hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”). If the EPA designates these wastes as hazardous under RCRA, we may be required to expend additional amounts on the handling of such wastes and to make significant expenditures to construct hazardous waste disposal facilities. In addition, if any of these wastes causes contamination in or damage to the environment at a mining facility, such facility may be designated as a “Superfund” site under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”). Under CERCLA, any owner or operator of a Superfund site since the time of its contamination may be held liable and may be forced to undertake extensive remedial cleanup action or to pay for the government’s cleanup efforts. Such owner or operator may also be liable to governmental entities for the cost of damages to natural resources, which may be substantial. Additional regulations or requirements are also imposed under the Federal Clean Water Act (“CWA”). The Company considers the current proposed federal legislation relating to climate change and its potential enactment may have future impacts to the Company’s operations in the United States.

 

In addition, there are numerous legislative and regulatory proposals related to climate change, including legislation pending in the U.S. Congress to require reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The Company has reviewed and considered current federal legislation relating to climate change and does not believe it to have a material effect on its operations, however, additional regulation or requirements under any of these laws and regulations could have a materially adverse effect upon the Company and its results of operations.

 

Compliance with CERCLA, the CWA and state environmental laws could entail significant costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

 

In the context of environmental permits, including the approval of reclamation plans, we must comply with standards and regulations which entail significant costs and can entail significant delays. Such costs and delays could have a dramatic impact on our operations. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect our operations. We intend to fully comply with all applicable environmental regulations.

 

We are required to obtain government permits to begin new operations. The acquisition of such permits can be materially impacted by third party litigation seeking to prevent the issuance of such permits. The costs and delays associated with such approvals could affect our operations, reduce our revenues, and negatively affect our business as a whole.

 

Mining companies are required to seek governmental permits for the commencement of new operations. Obtaining the necessary governmental permits is a complex and time-consuming process involving numerous jurisdictions and often involving public hearings and costly undertakings. The duration and success of permitting efforts are contingent on many factors that are out of our control. The governmental approval process may increase costs and cause delays depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted, and could cause us to not proceed with the development of a mine. Accordingly, this approval process could harm our results of operations.

Mineral exploration and development inherently involves significant and irreducible financial risks. We may suffer from the failure to find and develop profitable mineral deposits.

 

The exploration for and development of mineral deposits involves significant financial risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. Unprofitable efforts may result from the failure to discover mineral deposits. Even if mineral deposits are found, such deposits may be insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production, or it may take a number of years until production is possible, during which time the economic viability of the project may change. Few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Mining companies rely on consultants and others for exploration, development, construction and operating expertise.

 

Substantial expenditures are required to establish ore reserves, extract metals from ores and, in the case of new properties, to construct mining and processing facilities. The economic feasibility of any development project is based upon, among other things, estimates of the size and grade of ore reserves, proximity to infrastructures and other resources (such as water and power), metallurgical recoveries, production rates and capital and operating costs of such development projects, and metals prices. Development projects are also subject to the completion of favorable feasibility studies, issuance and maintenance of necessary permits and receipt of adequate financing.

 

Once a mineral deposit is developed, whether it will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, including: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; government regulations including taxes, royalties and land tenure; land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection; and mineral prices. Factors that affect adequacy of infrastructure include reliability of roads, bridges, power sources and water supply; unusual or infrequent weather phenomena; sabotage; and government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure. All of these factors are highly cyclical. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination may result in not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

 

Significant investment risks and operational costs are associated with our exploration activities. These risks and costs may result in lower economic returns and may adversely affect our business.

 

Mineral exploration, particularly for gold, involves many risks and is frequently unproductive. If mineralization is discovered, it may take a number of years until production is possible, during which time the economic viability of the project may change.

 

Development projects may have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future operating costs and capital requirements. Development project items such as estimates of reserves, metal recoveries and cash operating costs are to a large extent based upon the interpretation of geologic data, obtained from a limited number of drill holes and other sampling techniques, and feasibility studies. Estimates of cash operating costs are then derived based upon anticipated tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and processed, the configuration of the ore body, expected recovery rates of metals from the ore, comparable facility and equipment costs, anticipated climate conditions and other factors. As a result, actual cash operating costs and economic returns of any and all development projects may materially differ from the costs and returns estimated, and accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected.

 

Our failure to satisfy the financial commitments under the agreements controlling our rights to explore on our current prospects could result in our loss of those potential opportunities.

 

We hold all of our mineral interests under agreements and commitments that require ongoing financial obligations, including work commitments. Our failure to satisfy those obligations could result in a loss of those interests. In such an event, we would be required to recognize an impairment of the assets currently reported in our financial statements.

We are required to obtain government permits to begin new operations. The acquisition of such permits can be materially impacted by third party litigation seeking to prevent the issuance of such permits. The costs and delays associated with such approvals could affect our operations, reduce our revenues, and negatively affect our business as a whole.

 

Mining companies are required to seek governmental permits for the commencement of new operations. Obtaining the necessary governmental permits is a complex and time-consuming process involving numerous jurisdictions and often involving public hearings and costly undertakings. The duration and success of permitting efforts are contingent on many factors that are out of our control. The governmental approval process may increase costs and cause delays depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted, and could cause us to not proceed with the development of a mine. Accordingly, this approval process could harm our results of operations.

 

Any of our future acquisitions may result in significant risks, which may adversely affect our business.

 

An important element of our business strategy is the opportunistic acquisition of operating mines, properties and businesses or interests therein within our geographical area of interest. While it is our practice to engage independent mining consultants to assist in evaluating and making acquisitions, any mining properties or interests therein we may acquire may not be developed profitably or, if profitable when acquired, that profitability might not be sustained. In connection with any future acquisitions, we may incur indebtedness or issue equity securities, resulting in increased interest expense, or dilution of the percentage ownership of existing stockholders. We cannot predict the impact of future acquisitions on the price of our business or our Common Stock. Unprofitable acquisitions, or additional indebtedness or issuances of securities in connection with such acquisitions, may impact the price of our Common Stock and negatively affect our results of operations.

 

Our ability to find and acquire new mineral properties is uncertain. Accordingly, our prospects are uncertain for the future growth of our business.

 

Because mines have limited lives based on proven and probable ore reserves, we may seek to replace and expand our future ore reserves, if any. Identifying promising mining properties is difficult and speculative. Furthermore, we encounter strong competition from other mining companies in connection with the acquisition of properties producing or capable of producing gold. Many of these companies have greater financial resources than we do. Consequently, we may be unable to replace and expand future ore reserves through the acquisition of new mining properties or interests therein on terms we consider acceptable. As a result, our future revenues from the sale of gold or other precious metals, if any, may decline, resulting in lower income and reduced growth.

 

Corporate and securities laws and regulations are likely to increase our costs.

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”), which became law in July 2002, has impacted our corporate governance, securities disclosure and compliance practices. In response to the requirements of SOX, the SEC and major stock exchanges have promulgated rules and listing standards covering a variety of subjects. Compliance with these rules and listing standards are likely to increase our general and administrative costs, and we expect these to continue to increase in the future. In particular, we are required to include the management report on internal control as part of our annual reports pursuant to Section 404 of SOX. We have evaluated our internal control systems in order (i) to allow management to report on our internal controls, as required by these laws, rules and regulations, (ii) to provide reasonable assurance that our public disclosure will be accurate and complete, and (iii) to comply with the other provisions of Section 404 of SOX. We cannot be certain as to the timing of the completion of our evaluation, testing and remediation actions or the impact these may have on our operations. Furthermore, there is no precedent available by which to measure compliance adequacy. If we are not able to implement the requirements relating to internal controls and all other provisions of Section 404 in a timely fashion or achieve adequate compliance with these requirements or other requirements of SOX, we might become subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities such as the SEC or FINRA. Any such action may materially adversely affect our reputation, financial condition and the value of our securities, including our Common Stock. SOX and these other laws, rules and regulations have increased legal and financial compliance costs and have made our corporate governance activities more difficult, time-consuming and costly.

The Company is subject to extensive government regulations and permit requirements.

 

Operations, development and exploration on the Company’s properties are affected to varying degrees by political stability and government regulations relating to such matters as environmental protection, health, safety and labor, mining law reform, restrictions on production, price controls, tax increases, maintenance of claims, tenure, and expropriation of property. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations may result in fines or administrative penalties or enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities enjoining or curtailing operations or requiring corrective measures, installation of additional equipment or remedial actions, any of which could result in the Company incurring significant expenditures.

 

The activities of the Company require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. The Company currently has been granted the requisite licenses and permits to enable it to carry on its existing business and operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all the necessary licenses and permits which may be required to carry out exploration, development and mining operations for its projects in the future. The Company might find itself in situations where the state of compliance with regulation and permits can be subject to interpretation and challenge from authorities that could carry risk of fines or temporary stoppage.

 

Opposition of the Company’s exploration, development and operational activities may adversely affect the Company’s reputation, its ability to receive mining rights or permits and its current or future activities.

 

Maintaining a positive relationship with the communities in which the Company operates is critical to continuing successful exploration and development. Community support for operations is a key component of a successful exploration or development project. Various international and national laws, codes, resolutions, conventions, guidelines and other materials relating to corporate social responsibility (including rights with respect to health and safety and the environment) may also require government consultation with communities on a variety of issues affecting local stakeholders, including the approval of mining rights or permits.

 

The Company may come under pressure in the jurisdictions in which it explores or develops to demonstrate that other stakeholders benefit and will continue to benefit from its commercial activities. Local stakeholders and other groups may oppose the Company’s current and future exploration, development and operational activities through legal or administrative proceedings, protests, roadblocks or other forms of public expression against the Company’s activities. Opposition by such groups may have a negative impact on the Company’s reputation and its ability to receive necessary mining rights or permits. Opposition may also require the Company to modify its exploration, development or operational plans or enter into agreements with local stakeholders or governments with respect to its projects, in some cases causing considerable project delays. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and Common Share price.

 

The title to the Company’s properties could be challenged or impugned.

 

Although the Company has or will receive title opinions for any properties in which it has a material interest, there is no guarantee that title to such properties will not be challenged or impugned. The Company has not conducted surveys of the claims in which it holds direct or indirect interests and, therefore the precise area and location of the properties may be in doubt. The Company’s properties may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or native land claims and title may be affected by unidentified or unknown defects. Title insurance is generally not available for mineral properties and the Company’s ability to ensure that it has obtained secure claims to individual mineral properties or mining concessions may be constrained. A successful challenge to the Company’s title to a property or to the precise area and location of a property could cause delays or stoppages to the Company’s exploration, development or operating activities without reimbursement to the Company. Any such delays or stoppages could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Stock

 

We will need, but may be unable to, obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could dilute our stockholders or impose burdensome financial restrictions on our business.

 

In the future, we hope to rely on revenues generated from operations to fund all of the cash requirements of our activities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate any significant cash from our operating activities in the future. Future financings may not be available on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to the Common Shares will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations because we could lose our existing sources of funding and impair our ability to secure new sources of funding. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate any investor interest in our securities. If we do not obtain additional financing, our business may never commence, in which case you would likely lose the entirety of your investment in the Company.

 

Even if this Offering is successful, we will need to raise additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to delay, limit or terminate our product development efforts or other operations.

 

The net proceeds from this Offering, excluding potential proceeds from the sale of Warrant Shares upon exercise of all the Warrants, will be up to $2,710,000, after deducting commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We expect that if 50% to 100% of the offered Units are sold in this Offering, the net proceeds will be sufficient to fund our current operations for at least the next twenty-four months, and 18% if only 25% of the Units are sold. However, we may not achieve the maximum sale of Units, and/or our operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned, through public or private equity or debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances or a combination of these approaches. Raising funds in the current economic environment may present additional challenges. It is not certain that we have accounted for all costs and expenses of future development and regulatory compliance. Even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital if market conditions are favorable or if we have specific strategic considerations.

 

Any additional fundraising efforts may divert our management from their day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize our products. In addition, we cannot guarantee that future financing will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Moreover, the terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of our stockholders and the issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of our shares to decline. The sale of additional equity or convertible securities may dilute our existing stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed payment obligations and we may be required to agree to certain restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire, sell or license intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. We could also be required to seek funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or otherwise at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable and we may be required to relinquish rights to some of our technologies or product candidates or otherwise agree to terms unfavorable to us, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and prospects.

 

If we are unable to obtain funding on a timely basis, we may be required to significantly curtail, delay or discontinue one or more of our research or development programs or the commercialization of any product, or be unable to expand our operations or otherwise capitalize on our business opportunities, as desired, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

You will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your shares of Common Stock.

 

You will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the Common Stock you purchase in this Offering. Assuming all 3,000,000 Units are sold for estimated net proceeds of $2,710,000 (after deducting estimated offering expenses), purchasers of Units in this Offering will experience dilution of approximately $0.81 in net tangible book value of their Shares. SeeDilution.”

No Minimum Capitalization.

 

Because this is a “best efforts” offering with no minimum, we will have access to any funds tendered. This means that any investment made could be the only investment in this Offering, leaving the Company without adequate capital to pursue its business plan or even to cover the expenses of this Offering.

 

We do not have a minimum capitalization, and we may use the proceeds from this Offering immediately following our acceptance of the corresponding subscription agreements. We do not have any track record for self-underwritten Regulation A offerings and there can be no assurance the Maximum Offering or any other amount will be sold in this Offering. There is no assurance that we will raise sufficient capital solely from this Offering to implement our business plan, potentially resulting in greater operating losses unless we are able to raise the required capital from alternative sources. There is no assurance that alternative capital, if needed, would be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

 

We may terminate this Offering at any time during the Offering Period.

 

We reserve the right to terminate this Offering at any time, regardless of the number of Units sold. In the event that we terminate this Offering at any time prior to the sale of all of the Units offered hereby, whatever amount of capital that we have raised at that time will have already been utilized by the Company and no funds will be returned to subscribers.

 

There is no minimum offering amount.

 

There is no minimum amount the Company needs to raise before it can close on subscriptions and deploy such capital. This means any investment made by an investor will be immediately available to Company. If the Company does not raise the full amount of this Offering, it may not have the capital resources necessary to fund the plans outlined in “Use of Proceeds.” In such event, an investor in this Offering may lose its entire investment.

 

We may issue Preferred Stock that would have rights that are preferential to the rights of our Common Stock that could discourage potentially beneficial transactions to our Common Stockholders.

 

We are authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of “blank check” Preferred Stock under our Articles of Incorporation. Our Board of Directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of Preferred Stock and to issue Preferred Stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our Board of Directors could authorize the issuance of a series of Preferred Stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of Common Stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our Common Stock.

 

Of our 25,000,000 shares of “blank check” Preferred Stock, 2,500,000 shares have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”). Effective June 30, 2021 (the “Conversion Date”), the Company received Notices of Conversion from five (5) of its Series A Convertible Preferred stockholders that they had elected to convert a total of 192,269 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into an aggregate of 1,922,690 shares of Common Stock and $356,123 in accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series A Shares into an aggregate of 356,123 shares of Common Stock (the “Dividend Shares”). Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into ten (10) shares of Common Stock. The conversion price of the Dividend Shares was $1.00 per share. As of June 30, 2021, no shares of Series A Preferred are outstanding.

 

On September 2020, the Company established a Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) and authorized an aggregate of 5,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 per share and a stated value of $1,250.00 per share. No shares of Series B Preferred are outstanding but the holders of outstanding Series B Preferred are entitled to receive dividends at the annual rate of 10% based on the stated value per shar and dividends on the share of Series B Preferred shall be cumulative.

 

Our Series A Preferred and our Series B Preferred have dividends and liquidation preference over our Common Stock which could suppress the value of our Common Stock.

Our Preferred Stock could deter a change of management and discourage offers to acquire us.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorizes 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock without any vote or further action by our stockholders. Our Board of Directors’ authority to issue Preferred Stock could discourage potential takeover attempts or could delay or prevent a change in control through merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise by making these attempts more difficult or costly to achieve. The issuance of Preferred Stock could make it more difficult for someone to acquire control of us or for our stockholders to remove existing management and might discourage a third party from offering to acquire us, even if a change in control or in management would be beneficial to our stockholders. For example

 

Over-the-Counter stocks are subject to risks of high volatility and price fluctuation.

 

We have not applied to have our shares listed on any stock exchange or on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and we do not plan to do so in the foreseeable future. The OTC market for securities has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations during certain periods. These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as commodity prices and the investment markets generally, as well as economic conditions and quarterly variations in our results of operations, may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock and make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

 

Trading in our securities is on an electronic bulletin board established for securities that do not meet Nasdaq listing requirements. As a result, investors will find it substantially more difficult to dispose of our securities. Investors may also find it difficult to obtain accurate information and quotations as to the price of, our Common Stock.

 

Our stock price may be volatile and as a result, stockholders could lose all or part of their investment. The value of our shares could decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price of our Common Stock:

 

  · failure to meet operating budget;
  · decline in demand for our Common Stock;
  · operating results failing to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors in any quarter;
  · downward revisions in securities analysts’ estimates or changes in general market conditions;
  · investor perception of the mining industry or our prospects; and
  · general economic trends.

 

In addition, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations and the market prices of securities have been highly volatile. These fluctuations are often unrelated to operating performance and may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

Our management concluded that internal controls over financial reporting were not effective at December 31, 2020. If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. As a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

 

In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we disclosed that our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013), and concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2020 due to several material weakness, included a lack of segregation of duties a formal review process that includes multiple levels of review and no independent directors on our board. structure.

 

In expanding on our cited material weakness, we disclosed that our limited size has prevented us from being able to employ sufficient resources to enable us to have an adequate level of supervision and segregation of duties within our system of internal control.

 

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide financial reports or prevent fraud, our business reputation and operating results could be harmed. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

Owners of our Common Stock are subject to the “penny stock” rules.

 

Since our shares are not listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq Market within the United States, trading in our shares on the OTC market is subject to the extent the market price for our shares is less than $5.00 per share, to a number of regulations known as the “penny stock rules.” The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, to provide the customer with additional information including current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account, and to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the investor and receive the investor’s written agreement to the transaction. To the extent these requirements may be applicable they will reduce the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our shares and may severely and adversely affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell our shares, if a publicly traded market develops.

 

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

 

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common Stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

 

We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our stock.

 

We have never paid any cash dividends on any shares of our capital stock, and we do not anticipate that we will pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Our current business plan is to retain any future earnings to finance the expansion of our business. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors, and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant at that time. If we do not pay cash dividends, our stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

 

The market for our Common Stock may be thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

 

Our Common Stock has been historically thinly traded on the OTC Markets, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our shares at or near ask prices at any given time has been relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to several factors, including the fact that we are a small company that is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stockbrokers, institutional investors, and others in the investment community. Even if we came to such persons’ attention, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until we became more seasoned and viable. Consequently, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent compared to a seasoned issuer, which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on our share price. We cannot assure you that a broader or more active public trading market for our Common Shares will develop or be sustained or that current trading levels will be maintained.

The indemnification provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws under Nevada law may result in substantial expenditures by our Company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers, and employees.

 

Our articles of incorporation contain provisions that eliminate our directors’ liability for monetary damages to our Company and stockholders. Our bylaws also require us to indemnify our officers and directors. We may also have contractual indemnification obligations under our agreements with our directors, officers, and employees. These indemnification obligations could result in our Company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors, officers, and employees that we may not recoup.

 

Pursuant to the laws of the State of Nevada, our Articles of Incorporation exclude personal liability for its directors for monetary damages based upon any violation of their fiduciary duties as directors, except as to liability for any breach of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, acts in violation of Section 7-106-401 of the Nevada Business Corporation Act, or any transaction from which a director receives an improper personal benefit. This exclusion of liability does not limit any right, which a director may have to be indemnified, and does not affect any director's liability under federal or applicable state securities laws.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant to provisions of the State of Nevada, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

We are classified as an “emerging growth company” as well as a “smaller reporting company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies will make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act.

 

We could remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

 

Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company.” Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies,” “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

 

Holders of our Common Stock may face significant restrictions on the resale of the Common Stock due to states’ “blue sky” laws or rules.

 

We intend to offer and sell our securities in this Offering to retail customers in every state in the United States plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996 (“NSMIA”), which is a U.S. federal statute, preempts the states from regulating transactions in certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” NSMIA nevertheless allows the states to investigate if there is a suspicion of fraud or deceit, or unlawful conduct by a broker or dealer, in connection with the sale of securities. If there is a finding of fraudulent activity, the states can bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case. The various states and other jurisdictions can impose fines on us or take other regulatory actions against us if we fail to comply with their securities laws. Although we are taking steps to help ensure that we will conduct all offers and sales in this offering in compliance with all blue sky laws, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve such compliance in all instances, or avoid fines or other regulatory actions if we do not achieve compliance. SeeDescription of Securities Offered—Resale Restrictions” section in this Offering Circular.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

The maximum gross proceeds from the sale of our Units in this Offering is $3,000,000 (excluding the proceeds from the issuance of all Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants issued in this Offering). The table below sets forth the net proceeds of the Offering, after deducting Offering estimated expenses, including 1% of the total gross proceeds for commissions payable to Dalmore on all the Units being offered, and legal, accounting, printing, marketing, selling and other costs incurred in the Offering. The estimate of the budget for offering costs is an estimate only and the actual offering costs may differ. We expect from time to time to evaluate the acquisition of businesses and mining assets for which a portion of the net proceeds may be used.

 

The table below sets forth the net proceeds of the Offering, after deducting Offering estimated expenses if we sell 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% of the Units in this Offering. All amounts set forth below are estimates and based on the assumed offering price of $1.00 per Unit.

 

    100%    75%    50%    25%

*Estimated.

 

The following table represents management’s best estimate of the uses of the net proceeds, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Units offered for sale in this Offering. All amounts set forth below are estimates and based on the assumed offering price of $1.00 per Unit.

 

   Percentage of Offering Sold 
   100%   75%   50%   25% 
                 
Road work  $20,000   $20,000   $20,000   $20,000

As indicated in the table above, if we sell only 75%, or 50%, or 25% of the Units offered for sale in this Offering, we would expect to use the resulting net proceeds for the same purposes as we would use the net proceeds from a sale of 100% of the Units, and in approximately the same proportions, until such time as such use of proceeds would leave us without working capital reserve. At that point we would expect to modify our use of proceeds by limiting our expansion, leaving us with the working capital reserve indicated.

 

The amounts set forth above are our current estimates for such development activities, and we cannot be certain that actual costs will not vary from these estimates. Our management has significant flexibility and broad discretion in applying the net proceeds received in this Offering and making short-term interest-bearing investments of the proceeds for capital preservation purposes. We cannot assure you that our assumptions, expected costs and expenses and estimates will prove to be accurate or that unforeseen events, problems or delays will not occur that would require us to seek additional debt and/or equity funding, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all. See Risk Factors in this Offering Statement for more information regarding the risks associated with an investment in our securities.

 

The Company intends to use a portion of the proceeds raised in this Offering to fund the compensation payable to its officers, as described under Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers below. The Company may, in its discretion, pay its directors cash compensation and compensate them with the proceeds of the Offering.

 

This expected use of the net proceeds from this Offering represents our intentions based upon our current financial condition, results of operations, business plans and conditions. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we cannot predict with certainty all of the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the closing of this Offering or the amounts that we will actually spend on the uses set forth above. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this Offering and reserves the right to change the estimated allocation of net proceeds set forth above.

 

Although our business does not presently generate any cash, we believe that if we raise the maximum amount in this Offering, that we will have sufficient capital to finance our operations for at least the next 24 months. However, if we do not sell the maximum number of Units offered in this Offering, or if our operating and development costs are higher than expected, we will need to obtain additional financing prior to that time. Further, we expect that during or after such 24-month period, we will be required to raise additional funds to finance our operations until such time that we can conduct profitable revenue-generating activities.

 

Pending our use of the net proceeds from this Offering, we may invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including without limitation short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments and United States government securities and including investments in related parties. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds for the investment in strategic partnerships and possibly the acquisition of complementary businesses or mining assets, although we have no present commitments or agreements for any specific acquisitions or investments.

  

DILUTION

 

At June 30, 2021, an aggregate of 11,340,412 shares of Common Stock are issued and outstanding.

 

If you purchase Units in this Offering, your ownership interest in our Common Shares will be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to the public charged for each Unit in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Shares after this Offering.

 

Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2021 was $28,947, or $0.00 per share, based on 11,340,412 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this Offering Circular. Net tangible book value per share equals the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, all as of the date specified.

 

If the Maximum Offering, at an assumed offering price of $1.00 per Common Share underlying each Unit, is sold in this Offering, after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma as-adjusted net tangible book value at June 30, 2021 would be approximately $2,738,947, or $0.19 per share. This amount represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $0.19 per share to our existing stockholders as of the date of this Offering Circular, and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $0.81 per share to new investors purchasing Units in this Offering at a price of $1.00 per Unit.

 

 

 21 

 

 

The following table illustrates the approximate per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Units offered for sale in this Offering, after deducting our estimated offering expenses, and assumed Offering Price of $1.00 per Unit:

 

    100%    75%    50%    25% 
Gross Proceeds  $3,000,000   $2,250,000   $1,500,000   $750,000 
Expenses   (290,000)   (215,000)   (170,000)   (120,000)
Net Proceeds  $2,710,000   $2,035,000   $1,330,000   $630,000 
Offering Price per Common Share  $1.00   $1.00   $1.00   $1.00 
Pro forma net tangible book value per share of Common Stock before the Offering  $28,947   $28,947   $28,947   $28,947 
Increase per share of Common Stock attributable to investors in this Offering  $0.19   $0.15   $0.11   $0.05 
Pro forma net tangible book value per share of Common Stock after the Offering  $2,738,947   $2,063,947   $1,358,947   $658,947 
Dilution to investors after the Offering  $0.81   $0.85   $0.89   $0.95 

 

The foregoing tables and calculations exclude: (i) 200,000 shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance pursuant to the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, of which awards for 72,00, and assumed Offering Price of $1.00 per Unit0 are outstanding as of June 30, 2021; (ii) 423,635 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants: (iii) 1,283,375 shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible notes and (iv) the Warrant Shares.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

In General

 

We are offering up to 3,000,000 Units on a best efforts basis at a fixed price of [ _____ ] [$0.07 - $1.00] per Unit, each Unit consisting of one share of Common Stock and one-half warrant (the “Warrant”). Only whole Warrants are exercisable.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial condition. This information should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and unaudited financial statements include din our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021. We use the terms “Magellan,” “we,” “our,” and “us” to refer to Magellan Gold Corporation.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Some of the information presented in this section constitutes “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that include terms such as “may,” “will,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “continue,” “believe,” “plan,” or the like, as well as all statements that are not historical facts.

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) emerged in China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. The outbreak has now spread to the United States and infections have been reported globally.

 

 

 27 

 

 

The COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly evolving. The information in this Annual Report is based on data currently available to us and will likely change as the pandemic progresses. As COVID-19 continues to spread throughout areas in which we operate, we believe the outbreak has the potential to have a material negative impact on our operating results and financial condition. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our operators, employees and vendors, and the impact on the Company’s ability to obtain debt and equity financing to fund ongoing exploration activities, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Given these uncertainties, we cannot reasonably estimate the related impact to our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We expect the trends highlighted above with respect to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to continue and, in some cases, accelerate. The extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s continued effect on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and intensity of the outbreak, the pace at which jurisdictions across the country re-open and restrictions begin to lift, the availability of government financial support to our business, tenants and operators and whether a resurgence of the outbreak occurs. Due to these uncertainties, we are not able at this time to estimate the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows but it could be material.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated on September 28, 2010, in Nevada. Our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the United States. We have not presently determined whether the properties to which we have mineral rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

 

We have only had exploration and project development operations to date and we rely upon the sale of our securities and borrowings from officers, directors and other significant investors to fund our operations, as we have not generated any revenue.

 

Magellan entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire Clearwater Gold Mining Corporation (“Clearwater”) which owns certain unpatented mining claims in Idaho County. Idaho that includes the historic Center Star Gold Mine near Elk City, Idaho. The Center Star Mine hosts high grade gold mineralization that was discovered in the early 1900’s. There was periodic historic production and development work done under different ownership through the 1980s. With the high-grade gold mineralization present, Magellan will be evaluating the historic mine data to assess the potential to develop a gold resource at Center Star. The project area is located 45 miles from Grangeville, Idaho and near the town of Elk City, Idaho.

 

In consideration for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Clearwater, Magellan has agreed to pay its sole stockholder 1,000,000 shares of Magellan common stock and $150,000. The 1,000,000 shares will be issued (i) 250,000 shares at closing (ii) 250,000 shares at the time the Center Mine receives its permit to reopen the main portal of the mine, (iv) 250,000 shares at the point the main portal has been reopened and (iv) 250,000 shares two years from the closing concurrent with the pay-off of the secured promissory note. The cash consideration of $25,000 will be paid within 30 days of closing and the balance of $125,000 to be evidenced by a secured promissory note due in two years. The Note will be secured by the Clearwater shares and assets. Magellan has issued 750,000 of the 1,000,000 shares and has paid $12,500 of the required $25,000 payment.

 

Effective March 31, 2020, we divested our subsidiary holding all of our international assets and plan to advance our Idaho gold project towards resource definition and eventual development, and possibly to acquire additional mineral rights and conduct additional exploration, development and permitting activities. Our mineral lease payments, permitting applications and exploration and development efforts will require additional capital. We rely upon the sale of our securities as well as advances and loans from executive management and significant stockholders to fund our operations as we have not generated any significant revenue.

 

Effective March 31, 2020 the Company entered into an Agreement to Accept Collateral in Full Satisfaction of Obligations (the “Agreement”) with certain holders of Promissory Notes (the “Lenders”) due December 31, 2019 (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1.05 million. The Company is indebted under the Notes to the Lenders and the Company’s obligations to the Lenders are secured by a Stock Pledge and Security Agreement covering 100 shares of common stock of Magellan Acquisition Corporation and one (1) share of MV2 (the “Collateral”) held under a Collateral Agent Agreement. Magellan Acquisition Corp. and MV2 own the SDA Mill and El Dorado prospect in Nayarit, Mexico. The Notes matured on December 31, 2019 and remain unpaid and in default. The Lenders have accelerated the Company’s indebtedness. Pursuant to terms set forth in the Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to accept the Collateral in full satisfaction of the Notes and unconditionally and irrevocably waive any entitlement or right to receive payment of (i) the initial 10% Financing Fee included in the principal amount of the Notes, (ii) the 5% Rollover Fee agreed to in an Allonge and Modification Agreement. The effective date of the Agreement was March 31, 2020.

On July 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase agreement with Tri Power Resources, LLC to sell 1,000 shares representing 100% ownership of Gulf+Western Industries, Inc (“Gulf+Western”) to Tri Power in consideration for the return and cancellation of 50,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock with a stated value of $10 per share. John Gibbs, a majority stockholder in the Company, is the Managing Member and Chief Executive Officer of Tri Power Resources, LLC

 

As a result of these agreements, the assets, liabilities and operations of the Gulf+Western, MAC and MV2 have been reflected as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of cash flows and consolidated statements of other comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented.

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation, including the discontinued operations presentation resulting from the disposition of the Company’s Gulf+Western, MAC and MV2 operations in 2020.

Loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2019 totaled $3,151,314. The loss on extinguishment of debt was a result of settlement of debt on September 30, 2019, which is discussed in detail in the footnotes.

 

Other income for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $26,980 was related to the NVX option and Small Business Administration Economic Injury Disaster Loan Grant.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

The net loss from discontinued operations during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 totaled $31,599 and $461,753, respectively. Net loss from discontinued operations represent the Mexico operations and Gulf+Western that were disposed of in March 2020 and July 2020, respectively. The $430,154 change is due to the limited operations of the Mexico and Gulf+Western assets in 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At June 30, 2021, we had not yet generated sufficient revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $17,319,954. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due.

 

Historically, we have funded our operations through the sale of equity and debt securities and from loans from our executive officers. At June 30, 2021, we had $177,099 in cash on hand. We currently do not have enough capital to fund our operations for the next 12 months.

 

We have significantly limited financial resources and our plan to enter the gold mining business cannot be funded with our existing resources. We believe these cumulative factors raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of our decision to enter gold exploration and mining production market we expect to incur significantly higher costs and our resources are insufficient to cover those expected costs without raising capital. We do not consider our available cash and current assets to be sufficient to meet our future business plans without additional sources of liquidity. Without additional revenues, working capital loans, or equity investment, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue operations.

 

We believe these conditions have resulted from the inherent risks associated with emerging growth companies. Such risks include, but are not limited to (i) uncertainty of gold and mineral production, (ii) changes in commodity prices at levels sufficient to cover our costs and provide a return for investors, (iii) our ability to attract additional capital in order to finance growth, and (iv) being able to successfully compete with other comparable companies in Colombia and the surrounding region that have substantially more financial resources than us.

 

We believe that our capital resources are insufficient for ongoing operations, with minimal current cash reserves, particularly given the resources necessary to expand our business. We will likely require considerable amounts of financing to make any significant advancement in our business strategy. There is presently no agreement in place that will guarantee financing for us, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise any additional funds, or that such funds will be available on acceptable terms. Funds raised through future equity financing will likely be substantially dilutive to current stockholders. Lack of additional funds will materially affect our business and may cause us to substantially curtail or even cease operations. Consequently, you could incur a loss of your entire investment in our business.

 

Going Concern

 

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue in operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Realization values may be substantially different from carrying values as shown and the financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s future viability depends upon the acquisition and financing of mineral exploration or other projects. If the mineral projects are to be successful, additional funds will be required for development and, if warranted, to place them into commercial production. The sources of future funds presently available to the Company is through the issuance of common shares. The ability of the Company to arrange such financing will depend, in part, on prevailing market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company. These events and conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to arrange the necessary financing, if needed, on terms satisfactory to the Company. If additional financing is arranged through the issuance of shares, control of the Company may change, and stockholders may suffer significant dilution.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company entered into a debt agreement to borrow $200,000 and received $175,000 in cash proceeds. Additionally, the Company received $287,000 of proceeds from the exercise of warrants.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company sold $285,000 of Series 2020A 8% Unsecured Convertible Notes with a maturity date of November 30, 2020. The purchase price of the Note is equal to the principal amount of the Note. The Series 2020A Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $0.50 during the life of the Note. The lenders were issued 142,500 common stock warrants with an exercise price of $0.50 per share for a term of 5 years.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company raised $30,000 through the sale of 30,000 units at a price of $1.00 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and four common stock warrants. Two of the warrants expire on May 8, 2019 and are exercisable at $2.00. The other two warrants expire on August 8, 2019 and are exercisable at $3.00. In April 2019 the warrants expiring on May 8, 2019 were extended until May 28, 2019 and the exercise price was reduced to $1.00 per share. As of May 31, 2019 these warrants were extended to July 31, 2019. On July 31, 2019, these warrants were extended to October 31, 2019 and expired unexercised.

 

Effective March 31, 2020 the Company entered into an Agreement to Accept Collateral in Full Satisfaction of Obligations (the “Agreement”) with certain holders of Promissory Notes (the “Lenders”) due December 31, 2019 (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1.05 million. The Company is indebted under the Notes to the Lenders and the Company’s obligations to the Lenders are secured by a Stock Pledge and Security Agreement covering 100 shares of common stock of Magellan Acquisition Corporation and one (1) share of MV2 (the “Collateral”) held under a Collateral Agent Agreement. Magellan Acquisition Corp. and MV2 own the SDA Mill and El Dorado prospect in Nayarit, Mexico. The Notes matured on December 31, 2019 and remain unpaid and in default. The Lenders have accelerated the Company’s indebtedness. Pursuant to terms set forth in the Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to accept the Collateral in full satisfaction of the Notes and unconditionally and irrevocably waive any entitlement or right to receive payment of (i) the initial 10% Financing Fee included in the principal amount of the Notes, (ii) the 5% Rollover Fee agreed to in an Allonge and Modification Agreement. The effective date of the Agreement was March 31, 2020.

 

On July 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase agreement with Tri Power Resources, LLC to sell 1,000 shares representing 100% ownership of Gulf+Western Industries, Inc (“Gulf+Western”) to Tri Power in consideration for the return and cancellation of 50,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock with a stated value of $10 per share. John Gibbs, a majority stockholder in the Company, is the Managing Member and Chief Executive Officer of Tri Power Resources, LLC.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company sold $135,000 of Series 2019A 10% Unsecured Convertible Notes. The purchase price of the Note is equal to the principal amount of the Note. The Series 2019A Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.00 during the life of the Note. The lenders were issued 100,000 common stock warrants with an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The Company evaluated the conversion option and concluded a beneficial conversion feature was present at issuance. The Company recognized the beneficial conversion feature and relative fair value of the warrants as a debt discount and additional paid in capital in August and December 2019. The $135,000 debt discount is amortized over the term of the loan. The Notes will accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. The Notes mature twelve (12) months from the date of issue. The maturity date can be extended at the option of the Company for an additional one (1) year.

 

Additionally, the Company received $514,955 of proceeds from advances from related and third parties, of which $345,450 was settled with the issuance Series A Preferred Stock in September 2019.

 

The proceeds from this Offering, excluding potential proceeds from the sale of Warrant Shares upon exercise of all the Warrants, will be up to $2,250,000 before deducting offering expenses payable by us. We expect that if we sell 50% to 100% of the offered Units are sold in this Offering, the net proceeds will be sufficient to fund our current operations for at least the next 24 months, and 18 months if we sell 25% of the offering Units.

 

If we do not raise sufficient capital in this Offering to fund our operations or pursue our business strategy, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional loans from officers, directors or significant stockholders, or equity financing from the sale of our common stock but cannot assure that any future financings will occur.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have and have never had any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our 100% owned subsidiary, Clearwater Gold Mining Corporation and M Gold Royalty. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the period presented.

 

We make our estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available. We believe that our significant estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, based upon information available at the time they were made. Actual results could differ from these estimates, making it possible that a change in these estimates could occur in the near term.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We value our financial assets and liabilities using fair value measurements. Our financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, amounts due to related parties and notes payable to related parties. Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable to related parties and other amounts due to related parties approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Our financial instruments which potentially subject us to credit risk are our cash. We maintain our cash at reputable financial institutions and currently, we are not exposed to significant credit risk.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all amounts on deposit with financial institutions and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents at the date of purchase.

 

 

 36 

 

 

Notes Payable – Related Parties

 

Notes payable to related parties are classified as current liabilities as the note holders either have the ability to control the repayment dates of the notes or the notes are due within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

We compute basic net loss per common share by dividing our net loss attributable to common stockholders by our weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Computation of diluted net loss per common share adds the weighted-average number of potential common shares outstanding to the weighted-average common shares outstanding, as calculated for basic net loss per share, except for instances in which there is a net loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, potential common shares associated with convertible notes payable and outstanding warrants to purchase common stock have been omitted from the net loss per common share computation as they are anti-dilutive due to the net loss for these periods.

 

Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments (share-based payments, or SBP) based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the SBP award—the requisite service period (vesting period). For SBP awards subject to conditions, compensation is not recognized until the performance condition is probable of occurrence. The grant-date fair value of share options is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 which aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

BUSINESS

 

General

 

The Company was formed and organized on September 28, 2010 under the laws of the State of Nevada. We are an exploration stage company and our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources in Idaho initially, and elsewhere in the future. We have not presently determined whether the property to which we have mining rights contain mineral deposits that are economically recoverable.

 

The Company’s head office is located at 602 Cedar Street, Suite 205, Wallace, Idaho 83873.

 

Center Star Mine Project

 

Background

 

Effective July 1, 2020, Magellan entered into a stock purchase agreement to acquire Clearwater Gold Mining Corporation (“Clearwater”) which owns certain unpatented mining claims in Idaho County. Idaho that include the historic Center Star Gold Mine near Elk City, Idaho. The Center Star Mine hosts high-grade gold mineralization that was discovered in the early 1900’s. There was periodic historic production and development work done under different ownership through the 1980s. With the high-grade gold mineralization present, Magellan will be evaluating the historic mine data to assess the potential to develop a gold resource at Center Star. The project area is located 45 miles from Grangeville, Idaho and near the town of Elk City, Idaho.

 

 

 37 

 

 

In consideration for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Clearwater, Magellan has agreed to pay its sole stockholder 1,000,000 shares of Magellan Common Stock and $150,000 in cash. Of the 1,000,000 shares, 750,000 shares have been issued and 250,000 shares will be issued two years from the closing concurrent with the pay-off of the secured promissory note. The cash consideration of $25,000 was paid and the balance of $125,000 is evidenced by a secured promissory note due in two years. The Note is secured by the Clearwater shares and assets.

 

Based upon our research, gold mineralization at Center Star Mine is hosted in multiple parallel quartz veins in a banded gneiss. Like many of the historic mines in the Elk City area the gold is present in steeply dipping quartz veins. The gold at the Center Star Mine occurs in high-grade veins that trend north-easterly and dip steeply to the south-east. These veins are present in a 75’ to 100’ wide sheer zone hosting quartz veins and breccia. It is believed the gold bearing veins vary from inches to 20 feet in width and contain gold from.35 ounce per ton gold to multi ounce per ton gold based on historic mine data. The property was historically developed by various owners and has had some production history of gold and silver production. The Center Star Mine has not had any exploration or development work conducted in the last 35 years.

Unpatented Mining Claims: The Mining Law of 1872

 

Except for the Langtry Property, our mineral rights consist of leases covering “unpatented” mining claims created and maintained in accordance with the U.S. General Mining Law of 1872, or the “General Mining Law.” Unpatented mining claims are unique U.S. property interests, and are generally considered to be subject to greater title risk than other real property interests because the validity of unpatented mining claims is often uncertain. The validity of an unpatented mining claim, in terms of both its location and its maintenance, is dependent on strict compliance with a complex body of federal and state statutory and decisional law that supplement the General Mining Law. Also, unpatented mining claims and related rights, including rights to use the surface, are subject to possible challenges by third parties or contests by the federal government. In addition, there are few public records that definitively control the issues of validity and ownership of unpatented mining claims. We have not filed a patent application for any of our unpatented mining claims that are located on federal public lands in the United States and, under possible future legislation to change the General Mining Law, patents may be difficult to obtain.

 

Location of mining claims under the General Mining Law, is a self-initiation system under which a person physically stakes an unpatented mining claim on public land that is open to location, posts a location notice and monuments the boundaries of the claim in compliance with federal laws and regulations and with state location laws, and files notice of that location in the county records and with the BLM. Mining claims can be located on land as to which the surface was patented into private ownership under the Stockraising Homestead Act of 1916, 43 U.S.C. §299, but the mining claimant cannot injure, damage or destroy the surface owner’s permanent improvements and must pay for damage to crops caused by prospecting. Discovery of a valuable mineral deposit, as defined under federal law, is essential to the validity of an unpatented mining claim and is required on each mining claim individually. The location is made as a lode claim for mineral deposits found as veins or rock in place, or as a placer claim for other deposits. While the maximum size and shape of lode claims and placer claims are established by statute, there are no limits on the number of claims one person may locate or own. The General Mining Law also contains provision for acquiring five-acre claims of non-mineral land for millsite purposes. A mining operation typically is comprised of many mining claims.

 

The holder of a valid unpatented mining claim has possessory title to the land covered thereby, which gives the claimant exclusive possession of the surface for mining purposes and the right to mine and remove minerals from the claim. Legal title to land encompassed by an unpatented mining claim remains in the United States, and the government can contest the validity of a mining claim. The General Mining Law requires the performance of annual assessment work for each claim, and subsequent to enactment of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. § 1201 et seq., mining claims are invalidated if evidence of assessment work is not timely filed with BLM. However, in 1993 Congress enacted a provision requiring payment of $140 per year claim maintenance fee in lieu of performing assessment work, subject to an exception for small miners having less than 10 claims. No royalty is paid to the United States with respect to minerals mined and sold from a mining claim.

 

The General Mining Law provides a procedure for a qualified claimant to obtain a mineral patent (i.e., fee simple title to the mining claim) under certain conditions. It has become much more difficult in recent years to obtain a patent. Beginning in 1994, Congress imposed a funding moratorium on the processing of mineral patent applications which had not reached a designated stage in the patent process at the time the moratorium went into effect. Additionally, Congress has considered several bills in recent years to repeal the General Mining Law or to amend it to provide for the payment of royalties to the United States and to eliminate or substantially limit the patent provisions of the law.

 

Mining claims are conveyed by deed, or leased by the claimant to the party seeking to develop the property. Such a deed or lease (or memorandum of it) needs to be recorded in the real property records of the county where the property is located, and evidence of such transfer needs to be filed with BLM. It is not unusual for the grantor or lessor to reserve a royalty, which as to precious metals often is expressed as a percentage of net smelter returns.

 

Location, History and Geology of our Property

 

Center Star Mine

 

The property, Center Star Mine, is located near Elk City, Idaho on the south side of the Clearwater River about 42 miles southeast of Grangeville, Idaho in Section 26 and 35 of Township 29 N, Range 7 E.B.M. in the Ten Mile Mining District. The property consists of 31 unpatented lode claims totaling 620 acres. The Company owns 100% of the property.

 

 

 39 

 

 

Access to the property is gained by a paved state highway connecting Grangeville and Elk City. A good mountain road approximately 5 miles in length extends from the highway to the mine. The mountain road is of a sufficient quality to transport equipment and materials to the mine. The road is typically snowed in during certain winter months but could be maintained to allow for year-round access.

 

 

The Center Star Mine is located in an area that currently has significant interest from other junior exploration companies, as shown in the map below:

 

 

History

 

The Center Star deposit was discovered by Jim Murphy, a pocket hunter, who found rich float in the gulch below the mine. Herman Brown and later Charles Tiedeman acquired interests in the property. These men did the first development work on the property by first trenching on the hillsides and then driving the Murphy crosscut. They encountered a mineralized zone about 30 feet wide which contained veins of varying width and which averaged from 0.8 to 1 ounce of gold per ton. In 1915, Tiedeman installed a 1-stamp mill and milled some ore from the Murphy crosscut but he netted only about a 50% recovery. About 1917, an interested party including one Mr. Weiss drove a crosscut into the ore zone about 100 feet below the Murphy level and did some drifting. Here they found the ore contained more sulfides with an increase of silver and copper. H. L. Day and associates on their own account did additional exploratory work in 1930 and 1931 which included the sinking of an incline winze to a depth of 150 feet. Because there was no road to or mill on the property plus the fact that the price of gold was only $20.00 an ounce, Mr. Day abandoned the project in 1931.

 

In 1934, Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Ward of Lewiston, Idaho acquired an option on the property and built the present road to the mine. In 1938 they purchased a 1/ 3 interest in the property and financed the construction of the mill and other buildings. During the period 1939 to 1942, Messrs. Ward and William Walker leased the remaining two-thirds interest in the mine from Brown and Tiedeman.

The first production of concentrates from this mill was made late in 1939 and was continued on a limited basis until the Gold Closing Order L-208 forced the stoppage of operations in 1942. During this period there was considerable development work done.

 

During a roughly 33-month time frame from 1939 to 1942 the mine produced about 5,000 ounces of gold and 6,000 ounces of silver.

 

In 1946 and 1947, Mr. and Mrs. Ward purchased the remaining 2/3 interest in the claims and continued to maintain the property. Except for 1959-1960 when about $5,000.00 worth of concentrates were produced there has been no other production since 1946. Following Mr. Ward’s death in November 1958, a rehabilitation and modernization program was planned by Mrs. Ward with the assistance of Harold C. Lynch.

 

In 1961, the Center Start Gold Mine, Inc was incorporated, and the property was acquired from Mrs. Genevieve (Ward) Lynch.

 

In 1968, Center Star Gold Mines, Inc. completed a public Offering and the Center Star Mine was reactivated. Also, in 1968 a 6,800-foot power line was constructed and put into operation bringing electric power to the site.

 

From 1968 to 1970 the underground workings were advanced an additional 500 feet. In 1971 the Center Mine was placed on standby awaiting more favorable gold prices.

 

In 1980 the Center Star Mine was reopened. Between 1980 and 1981 the Center Star completed a $500,000 mine renovation, sampling and drilling program. Over 2,000 samples were taken from various areas of the mine and the drill program resulted in defining an ore block estimated at 30,000 tons with grades between 0.46 and 0.63 ounces to the ton.

 

At some point between 1983 and 1984, the Center Star was once a gain placed on standby due to low gold prices.

 

In 1985, mill and equipment and several buildings on the property were removed and salvaged.

 

At some point between 1986 and 1987, the property was acquired by Mariner Explorations, Inc. Mariner Explorations did an extensive sapling and mapping of the area on the property adjacent to existing working.

 

At some point subsequent to Mariner Explorations surface exploration work, the property was acquired by Gregory Schifrin, who sold the property to Magellan Gold in 2020.

 

Power and Water

 

Power to the mine site will initially be provided by a diesel generator and a diesel compressor. In 1968 the mine site was connected to a 3-phase electrical power line. The power line is no longer operable but can be replaced in the future.

 

Water to the site is available from a year-round mountain stream that should be adequate to meet the properties’ needs.

 

Geology

 

The Center Star Mine is located in Idaho about midway between Golden and Elk City. It appears to be in the Central Idaho Belt series and is in the Ten Mile Mining District. The mine area is composed of banded Pre-Cambrian Belt gneisses and schists. The general area has been faulted; intrusions of granite dikes and hornblendite sills are prominent.

 

The following composite level map shows the extent of known historical workings at the mine:

 

 

 

 41 

 

 

The country rock is well-banded quartz biotite gneiss. Near quartz intrusions the country rock is highly silicified and in fractured zones is brecciated. The regional trend of the county rock foliation is approximately north and south.

 

A series of faults and brecciated zones cuts through the country rock. The general trend of the faulted areas is approximately north 70 degrees east and dips 40 degrees or more to the southeast.

 

Quartz follows faulted zones, forming elongated veins and is also found as a replacement of gneiss. However, gneissic banding is preserved in the quartz and the wall rock is not easily distinguished from the quartz in the replacement zones. These zones show a gradation from quartz to gneissic banded quartz to silicified gneiss, to gneiss. Along some faults, gouge and brecciated wall rock is more than two feet thick. Quartz usually shows more brecciation than silicified gneiss. Quartz is also greatly shattered in the fractured zones.

 

Sulfides are disseminated in the vein quartz and silicified wall rock and fill small fractures and shattered zones. The most abundant of these are pyrite and chalcopyrite. However, galena and sphalerite are commonly exposed in brecciated zones of quartz and wall rock.

 

The ore is found as irregular and generally elongated bodies following faults which strike approximately N 70 degrees E. A shear zone 100 feet wide, extending from about 240 feet in the Weiss tunnel contains all the ore to be seen in the present mine workings. A series of faults parallel each other within this zone. The country rock, surrounding the shear zone, is composed of schist and gneiss. Intrusions of granite cutting the country rock are exposed in the Weiss tunnel. The schists and gneisses grade into silicified rock at the contact of the shear zone.

 

Drifting followed quartz veins which vary in thickness from one inch to 10 feet, averaging about five feet. The quartz veins pinch and swell throughout their exposed length with alternate brecciation. Gouge of varying thickness follows both walls of the quartz veins. Brecciation of the quartz and silicification of the gneisses and schists presumably took place at the time of later faulting and fracturing. Later quartz introduction apparently occurred periodically; this later quartz contains most of the sulfides and gold. Quartz in some zones grades gradually into silicified all rock; in these zones no contact can be established between silicified wall rock and quartz. However, quartz veinlets were observed extending into the wall rock. These veinlets contain sulfides and some gold.

 

No Proven or Probable Mineral Reserves/Exploration Stage Company

 

We are considered an exploration stage company under SEC criteria since we have not demonstrated the existence of proven or probable mineral reserves at any of our properties. In Industry Guide 7, the SEC defines a “reserve” as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. Proven or probable mineral reserves are those reserves for which (a) quantity is computed and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are spaced so closely that the geologic character is defined and size, shape and depth of mineral content can be established (proven) or the sites are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced but high enough to assume continuity between observation points (probable).

 

Mineral Reserves cannot be considered proven or probable unless and until they are supported by a feasibility study, indicating that the mineral reserves have had the requisite geologic, technical and economic work performed and are economically and legally extractable.

 

We have not completed a feasibility study with regard to all or a portion of any of our properties to date. Any mineralized material discovered or extracted by us should not be considered proven or probable mineral reserves. As of the date of this Offering Circular, none of our mineralized material met the definition of proven or probable mineral reserves. We expect to remain an exploration stage company for the foreseeable future, even though we were extracting and processing mineralized material. We will not exit the exploration stage until such time, if ever, that we demonstrate the existence of proven or probable mineral reserves that meet the guidelines under SEC Industry Guide

 

Our Exploration Process

 

Our exploration program is designed to acquire, explore and evaluate exploration properties in an economically efficient manner. We have not at this time identified or delineated any mineral reserves on any of our properties.

 

We expect our exploration work on a given property to proceed generally in three phases. Decisions about proceeding to each successive phase will take into consideration the completion of the previous phases and our analysis of the results of those phases.

 

 

 42 

 

 

The first phase is intended to determine whether a prospect warrants further exploration and involves:

 

  · researching the available geologic literature;
  · interviewing geologists, mining engineers and others familiar with the prospect sites;
  · conducting geologic mapping, geophysical testing and geochemical testing;
  · examining any existing workings, such as trenches, prospect pits, shafts or tunnels;
  · digging trenches that allow for an examination of surface vein structures as well as for efficient reclamation, contouring and re-seeding of disturbed areas; and,
  · analyzing samples for minerals that are known to have occurred in the test area.

 

Subject to obtaining the necessary permits in a timely manner, the first phase can typically be completed on an individual property in several months at a cost of less than $200,000.

 

The second phase is intended to identify any mineral deposits of potential economic importance and would involve:

 

  · examining underground characteristics of mineralization that were previously identified;
  · conducting more detailed geologic mapping;
  · conducting more advanced geochemical and geophysical surveys;
  · conducting more extensive trenching; and
  · conducting exploratory drilling.

 

Subject to obtaining the necessary permits in a timely manner, the second phase can typically be completed on an individual property in nine to 12 months at a cost of less than $1 million. None of our properties has reached the second phase.

 

The third phase is intended to precisely define depth, width, length, tonnage and value per ton of any deposit that has been identified and would involve:

 

  · drilling to develop the mining site;
  · conducting metallurgical testing; and
  · obtaining other pertinent technical information required to define an ore reserve and complete a feasibility study depending upon the nature of the particular deposit, the third phase on any one property could take one to five years or more and cost well in excess of $1 million. None of our properties has reached the third phase.

 

We intend to explore and develop our properties ourselves, although our plans could change depending on the terms and availability of financing and the terms or merits of any joint venture proposals.

 

Our Exploration Plans

 

Past exploration, development and production on the property has identified a number of ore bodies and targets for future exploration. Potential for additional mineralization is very good as known veins and ore bodies appear to be open in all directions. We will use known mineralization areas from previous geological reports to identify exploration targets.

 

We are developing a geological mapping, with rock sampling and assaying programs that will focus on taking samples from previously sampled high-grade areas to test and verify historical geological reports. Successful completion of the mapping and sampling program will help guide a drilling program to better define historically reported ore blocks and resource estimates.

 

Subject to securing the necessary, we have budgeted $500,000 for exploration work over the next 6 to 12 months. Comprising of $150,000 for sampling, assaying, mapping and computer modeling and $300,000 for diamond drilling, assaying and mapping.

 

We anticipate the exploration program will be supervised by Gregory Schifrin, a director of the company.

Marketing

 

All of our mining operations, if successful, will produce gold or silver in doré form or a concentrate that contains gold or silver.

 

We plan to market our refined metal and doré to credit worthy bullion trading houses, market makers and members of the London Bullion Market Association, industrial companies and sound financial institutions. The refined metals will be sold to end users for use in electronic circuitry, jewelry, silverware, and the pharmaceutical and technology industries. Generally, the loss of a single bullion trading counterparty would not adversely affect us due to the liquidity of the markets and the availability of alternative trading counterparties.

 

We plan to refine and market its precious metals doré and concentrates using a geographically diverse group of third party smelters and refiners. The loss of any one smelting and refining client may have a material adverse effect if alternate smelters and refiners are not available. We believe there is sufficient global capacity available to address the loss of any one smelter.

 

Competitive Conditions

 

The mining business is competitive in all phases of exploration, development and production. We compete with a number of other exploration and mining companies in the search for, and acquisition of, mineral properties or the raising of capital, many of whom have greater financial resources. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to acquire attractive mineral properties in the future on terms it considers acceptable or raise additional capital. We also compete for financing with other resource companies, many of whom have greater financial resources and/or more advanced properties. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, the terms of such financing will be favorable to us.

 

Our ability of to acquire properties or raising additional capital largely depends on its success in exploring and developing its present properties and on its ability to select, acquire and bring to production suitable properties or prospects for mineral exploration and development. We may compete with other exploration and mining companies for the procurement of equipment and for the availability of skilled labor. Factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of minerals we mine or discover.

 

Government Regulation

 

General

 

Our activities are and will be subject to extensive federal, state and local laws governing the protection of the environment, prospecting, mine development, production, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. The costs associated with compliance with such regulatory requirements are substantial and possible future legislation and regulations could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays in the development and continued operation of our properties, the extent of which cannot be predicted. In the context of environmental permitting, including the approval of reclamation plans, we must comply with known standards and regulations which may entail significant costs and delays.

 

Although we are committed to environmental responsibility and believe we are in substantial compliance with applicable laws and regulations, amendments to current laws and regulations, more stringent implementation of these laws and regulations through judicial review or administrative action or the adoption of new laws could have a materially adverse effect upon our results of operations.

 

 

 

 44 

 

 

Federal Environmental Laws

 

Certain mining wastes from extraction and beneficiation of ores are currently exempt from the extensive set of Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) regulations governing hazardous waste, although such wastes may be subject to regulation under state law as a solid or hazardous waste. The EPA has worked on a program to regulate these mining wastes pursuant to its solid waste management authority under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”). Certain ore processing and other wastes are currently regulated as hazardous wastes by the EPA under RCRA. If our future mine wastes, if any, were treated as hazardous waste or such wastes resulted in operations being designated as a “Superfund” site under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA” or “Superfund”) for cleanup, material expenditures would be required for the construction of additional waste disposal facilities or for other remediation expenditures. Under CERCLA, any present owner or operator of a Superfund site or an owner or operator at the time of its contamination generally may be held liable and may be forced to undertake remedial cleanup action or to pay for the government’s cleanup efforts. Such owner or operator may also be liable to governmental entities for the cost of damages to natural resources, which may be substantial. Additional regulations or requirements may also be imposed upon our future tailings and waste disposal, if any, in Nevada under the Federal Clean Water Act (“CWA”) and state law counterparts. We have reviewed and considered current federal legislation relating to climate change and we do not believe it to have a material effect on our operations. Additional regulation or requirements under any of these laws and regulations could have a materially adverse effect upon our results of operations.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

There are no current legal proceedings against the Company.

 

Employees/Consultants

 

We have no employees other than our President and CEO, Michael B. Lavigne. We do not currently have any pension, annuity, profit sharing, or similar employee benefit plans, although we may choose to adopt such plans in the future.

 

We engage independent contractors from time to time on an as-needed basis to consult with us on specific corporate affairs, or to perform specific tasks in connection with our business development activities, including accounting, mine services, geologists and engineers. We anticipate hiring employees when we have sufficient cash flow.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

No director, officer, person nominated to become a director or officer of our of our Company or subsidiary has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.

 

Significant Employees

 

We do not have any significant employees other than our current director and executive officers named in this Offering Circular.

 

Director Independence

 

Our Common Stock is listed on the OTCQB, which does not have director independence requirements. Nevertheless, for purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definition set forth in Nasdaq Rule 4200(a)(15). Mark Rodenbeck, Deepak Malhotra and Greg Schifrin are each considered to be independent. Michael B. Lavigne, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, is not deemed to be independent.

 

Board Meetings

 

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, our Board members engaged in frequent informal discussions; and all Board actions have been undertaken by unanimous written consent.

 

 

 47 

 

 

Committees of the Board of Directors

 

We currently do not have standing audit, compensation or nominating committees of the Board of Directors. We plan to form audit, compensation and nominating committees when it is necessary to do so to comply with federal securities laws or to meet listing requirements of a stock exchange or the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted a Code of Ethics that apples to, among other persons, our Company’s principal executive officer, as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Ethics sets forth written guidelines to promote:

 

  · honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
  · full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in all reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by us that are within the executive officer’s area of responsibility;
  · compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
  · the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code; and
  · accountability for adherence to the Code.

 

Our Code of Ethics is on file with the SEC. We will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Magellan Gold Corporation, 602 Cedar St., Ste. 205, Wallace, ID 83873.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest

 

Because we do not have an audit or Compensation Committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that such committees would have performed are performed by our directors. Our Board of Directors has not established an Audit Committee and does not have a financial expert, nor has our Board established a nominating committee. Our Board believes that such committees are not necessary since we only have one director, and to date, such director has been performing such committees’ functions. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our director and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.

Only whole Warrants are exercisable. Each whole Warrant issued in this offering entitle the registered holder to purchase one share of our Common Stock at a price equal to $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, immediately following the issuance of the Warrants and terminating at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), 24 months after the date of issuance. Each whole Warrant is exercisable at any time after their original issuance and at any time up to the date that is twenty-four months after their original issuance. Each whole Warrant may be exercised upon surrender of the Warrant certificates on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the Company, by utilizing the exercise form on the reverse side of the Warrant certificate completing and executing as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the whole number of Warrants being exercised.

 

Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of each whole Warrants is $1.50 per share, subject to adjustment as summarized below.

 

Adjustment. If and whenever the shares of Common Stock of the Company are subdivided into a greater or consolidated into a lesser number of shares, or in the event of any payment by the Company of a stock dividend (other than a dividend paid in the ordinary course), or in the event that the Company conducts a rights offering to its stockholders, the exercise price will be decreased or increased proportionately as the case may be. Upon any such subdivision, consolidation, payment of a stock dividend or rights offering, the number of shares deliverable upon the exercise of a Warrant and the exercise price of the Warrant will be increased or decreased proportionately as the case may be.

 

In case of any reclassification of the capital of the Company, or in the case of the merger, reorganization or amalgamation of the Company with, or into any other company or of the sale of substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to any other company, each Warrant will, after such reclassification of capital, merger, amalgamation or sale, confer the right to purchase that number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or of the company resulting from such reclassification, merger, amalgamation, or to which such sale will be made, as the case may be, which the Holder would then hold if the Holder had exercised the Holder’s rights under the Warrant before reclassification of capital, merger, amalgamation or sale; and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustments will be made in the application of the provisions set forth in the Warrant with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the Holders to the end that the provisions set forth in the Warrant will thereafter correspondingly be made applicable as nearly as may reasonably be in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the exercise of a Warrant.

 

Fractional Shares. Each whole Warrant may only be exercised for a whole number of shares and no fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If, upon exercise of the whole Warrant, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the exercise price or round the fractional share up to the nearest whole number.

 

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.

 

Warrant Agreement. The Warrants, substantially in the form of the Warrant filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular, will be issued in the name of the investor, or its designee(s). 

 

Fundamental Transactions. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our Common Stock, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding Common Stock, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding Common Stock, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

 

Rights as a Stockholder. The Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Common Stock or any voting rights until they exercise their Warrants and receive shares of Common Stock. After the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

 

Governing Law. The Warrants are governed by New York law.

The Company’s Other Equity Securities:

 

Preferred Stock

 

We are authorized to issue up to 25,000,000 shares, par value $0.001 per share, “blank check” Preferred Stock. Our Preferred Stock can be issued in one or more series as may be determined from time-to-time by our Board of Directors. In establishing a series our Board of Directors shall give to it a distinctive designation so as to distinguish it from the shares of all other series and classes, shall fix the number of shares in such series, and the preferences, rights and restrictions thereof. All shares of any one series shall be alike in every particular. Our Board of Directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of any series of Preferred Stock including, without limitation:

 

·the rate of distribution,

 

·the price at and the terms and conditions on which shares shall be redeemed,

 

·the amount payable upon shares for distributions of any kind,

 

·sinking fund provisions for the redemption of shares,

 

·the terms and conditions on which shares may be converted if the shares of any series are issued with the privilege of conversion, and

 

·voting rights except as limited by law.

 

Series A Preferred

 

In September 2019, the Company established a Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”) to convert debt of the Company. The Company authorized an aggregate 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be issued. Effective May 31, 2021, the Company received notices of Conversion from five of its Series A Convertible Preferred stockholders that they had elected to convert a total of 192,269 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into an aggregate of 1,922,690 shares of Common Stock and $356,123 in accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series A Shares into an aggregate of 356,123 shares of Common Stock Each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible into ten shares of Common Stock. The Conversion Price of the Dividend Shares was $1.00 per share. On June 30, 2021, the Company issued 2,278,813 shares of common stock for the conversion of preferred stock and accrued dividends. As of June 30, 2021, there are no shares of Series A Preferred are issued and outstanding.

 

Series B Preferred

 

In September 2020, the Company established a Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred”) and authorized an aggregate of 5,000 shares with a par value of $0.001 per share and a stated value of $1,250.00 per share. The holders of outstanding Series B Preferred shall be entitled to receive dividends at the annual rate of 10% based on the stated value per share. Dividends on the share of Series B Preferred shall be cumulative. As of June 30, 2021, no shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

 

Anti-takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of Our Articles of Incorporation and Nevada Law

 

We are subject to Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, an anti-takeover law. In general, Chapter 78 prohibits a publicly held Nevada corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the “business combination” or the transaction in which the person became an “interested stockholder” is approved in a prescribed manner. Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own) 10% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. The existence of this provision would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the Board of Directors, including discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of Common Stock held by stockholders.

All Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants will be, when issued, be deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Trading Market

 

The Common Shares and Warrants will be separately transferable following the termination of any transfer hold periods under applicable law. Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the OTC Markets’ OTCQB tier under the symbol “MAGE.” There is currently no market for the Warrants and none is expected to develop.

 

Resale Restrictions

 

We intend to offer and sell our securities in this offering to retail customers in every state in the United States plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. In each of the foregoing jurisdictions in which we intend to make offers and sales, we have made notice filings where required in respect of our intentions to make offers and sales there. Investors in the state of Arizona must either be accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501 under Regulation D under the Securities Act or meet the qualified purchaser definition in Arizona Administrative Code Rule 13.9. Investors in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, New Jersey, North Dakota, Texas and Washington will be required by state law to purchase our securities in this offering through a broker-dealer of record. Our broker-dealer of record will be Dalmore Group, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC, a registered broker-dealer.

 

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996 (“NSMIA”), which is a U.S. federal statute, preempts the states from regulating transactions in certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” NSMIA nevertheless allows the states to investigate if there is a suspicion of fraud or deceit, or unlawful conduct by a broker or dealer, in connection with the sale of securities. If there is a finding of fraudulent activity, the states can bar the sale of covered securities in a particular case.

 

We are a reporting company under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Following this offering, we intend to continue filing periodic and current reports as required by the Exchange Act. Therefore, under NSMIA, the states and other jurisdictions of the United States are preempted from regulating the resale by security holders of our Common Stock. However, NSMIA does allow states and territories to require notice filings and collect fees with regard to resale transactions, and a state may suspend the offer and resale of our securities within such state if any such required filing is not made or fee is not paid. As of the date of this Offering Circular, the following states and territories do not require any resale notice filings or fee payments and security holders may resell our securities: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, in the following states, district and territories, security holders may resell our securities if the proper notice filings have been made and fees paid: the District of Columbia, Illinois, Maryland, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Tennessee, Texas and Vermont. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we have not determined in which of these states and other jurisdictions, if any, we will submit the required filings or pay the required fees. Additionally, if any additional states or other jurisdictions adopt a statute, rule or regulation requiring a filing or fee, or if any state amends its existing statutes, rules or regulations with respect to its requirements, we would likely need to comply with those new requirements in order for our securities to become eligible, or continue to be eligible, for resale by security holders in those states or other jurisdictions.

 

 

 59 

 

 

In addition, aside from the exemption from registration provided by NSMIA, we believe that our securities may be eligible for resale in various states without any notice filings or fee payments, based upon the availability of applicable exemptions from such states’ registration requirements, in certain instances subject to waiting periods, notice filings or fee payments.

 

The various states and other jurisdictions can impose fines on us or take other regulatory actions against us if we fail to comply with their securities laws. Although we are taking steps to help insure that we will conduct all offers and sales in this offering in compliance with all Blue Sky laws, there can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve such compliance in all instances, or avoid fines or other regulatory actions if we do not achieve compliance.

 

Purchasers under this Offering should consult with their own professional advisers with respect to restrictions on the transferability of the securities offered hereunder.

 

Penny Stock Regulation

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share. Such securities are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. As our Common Shares immediately following this Offering may be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Common Shares in the secondary market.

 

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Prior to this Offering, there has been a limited market for our Common Stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or securities or instruments convertible into our Common Stock, in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Furthermore, because there will be limits on the number of shares available for resale shortly after this Offering due to contractual and legal restrictions described below, there may be resales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market after those restrictions lapse. This could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing at that time.

 

Rule 144

 

In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock for at least 12 months, in the event we are a reporting company under Regulation A, or at least six months, in the event we have been a reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale, would be entitled to sell such securities, provided that such person is not deemed to be an affiliate of ours at the time of sale or to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the 90 days preceding the sale. A person who is an affiliate of ours at such time would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:

 

  · 1% of the number of shares of our Common Stock then outstanding; or
  · the average weekly trading volume of our Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing by such person of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale;

 

; provided that, in each case, we are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale. Rule 144 trades must also comply with the manner of sale, notice and other provisions of Rule 144, to the extent applicable.

MAGELLAN GOLD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

 

Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Nature of Operations

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Magellan Gold Corporation (“we” “our”, “us”, the “Company” or “Magellan”) was incorporated on September 28, 2010, under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether the properties to which we have mining rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

 

Our primary focus is to explore and develop mineral properties in the United States. Effective March 31, 2020, we divested our subsidiary holding all of our international assets and plan to advance our recently acquired Idaho Gold project towards resource definition and eventual development, and possibly to acquire additional mineral rights and conduct additional exploration, development and permitting activities. Our mineral lease payments, permitting applications and exploration and development efforts will require additional capital. We rely upon the sale of our securities as well as advances and loans from executive management and significant shareholders to fund our operations as we have not generated any significant revenue.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While we believe that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

 

On July 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire Clearwater Gold Mining Corporation (“Clearwater”) which owns certain unpatented mining claims in Idaho County, Idaho. The Company will be evaluating the historic mine data to assess the potential to develop a gold resource at Center Star. The project area is located 45 miles from Grangeville, Idaho and near the town of Elk City, Idaho.

 

On August 25, 2020 the Company, formed a new wholly owned subsidiary, M Gold Royalty (“M Gold”), to expand into the royalty business. M Gold Royalty will engage in organically generating royalties derived from a portfolio of mineral property interests in North America. Royalties from this portfolio will be complemented by royalties from selected acquisitions as well as income from other strategic investments.

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our 100% owned subsidiary, Clearwater and M Gold. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

 

 

 

 F-6 

 

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

We compute basic net loss per common share by dividing our net loss attributable to common shareholders by our weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Computation of diluted net loss per common share adds the weighted-average number of potential common shares outstanding to the weighted-average common shares outstanding, as calculated for basic net loss per share, except for instances in which there is a net loss. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, 72,000 of stock options, 423,635 of warrants, and 1,283,375 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, 72,000 of stock options, 2,281,135 of warrants, 242,269 shares issuable from Series A Preferred Stock and 550,978 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Fair value accounting requires bifurcation of embedded derivative instruments such as conversion features in convertible debt or equity instruments and measurement of their fair value for accounting purposes. In assessing the convertible debt instruments, management determines if the convertible debt host instrument is conventional convertible debt and further if there is a beneficial conversion feature requiring measurement. If the instrument is not considered conventional convertible debt under ASC 470, the Company will continue its evaluation process of these instruments as derivative financial instruments under ASC 815. The Company applies the guidance in ASC 815-40-35-12 to determine the order in which each convertible instrument would be evaluated for derivative classification. The Company’s sequencing policy is to evaluate for reclassification contracts with the earliest maturity date first.

 

Once determined, derivative liabilities are adjusted to reflect fair value at each reporting period end, with any increase or decrease in the fair value being recorded in results of operations as an adjustment to fair value of derivatives.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

  

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our consolidated financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2021, we had a working capital deficit of $1,120,747, we had not yet generated any significant revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $17,319,954. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due.

 

We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders, or equity financing from the sale of our common stock but cannot assure than any future financings will occur.

Note 3 – Mineral Rights and Properties

 

Center Star Gold Mine

 

On July 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire Clearwater Gold Mining Corporation (“Clearwater”) which owns certain unpatented mining claims in Idaho County, Idaho that include the historic Center Star Gold Mine (“Center Star”) near Elk City, Idaho. As a result of the Clearwater acquisition, Gregory Schifrin, the sole shareholder of Clearwater, was appointed to serve as a member of the Company’s Board on July 1, 2020. In consideration for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Clearwater, the Company has agreed to pay Clearwater’s sole shareholder 1,000,000 shares of Magellan common stock, $125,000 convertible note and $25,000 in cash. The 1,000,000 shares are to be issued to the shareholder on and under the terms as follows: 250,000 shares at the time of closing, 250,000 shares at the time the Center Mine receives its permit to reopen the main portal of the mine, 250,000 shares at the point the main portal has been reopened and 250,000 shares two-years from closing concurrent the pay-off of the $125,000 convertible note. As of June 30, 2021, the total purchase price for the Clearwater was determined to be $1,000,000 which consisted of $12,500 cash paid, $12,500 accrued in accounts payable – related party, a $125,000 convertible promissory note, and 1,000,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $850,000. The Company concluded the transaction qualified as an asset acquisition and all such acquisition costs have been capitalized.

 

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $149,695 and $112,968 in capitalized development cost to develop gold resources at Center Star, respectively.

 

Note 4 – Disposition of Business

 

Mexico Operations

Prior to closing, all of the assets and operations related to the SDA Mill were transferred to a newly incorporated entity, Minerales Vane 2 S.A. de C.V. (“Minerales Vane 2”). Effective November 30, 2017, the Company’s newly incorporated wholly owned subsidiary, Magellan Acquisition Corporation (“MAC”), acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Minerales Vane 2 (“MV2”).

 

Effective March 31, 2020 the Company entered into an Agreement to Accept Collateral in Full Satisfaction of Obligations (the “Agreement”) with certain holders of Promissory Notes (the “Lenders”) due December 31, 2019 (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1.05 million. The Company is indebted under the Notes to the Lenders and the Company’s obligations to the Lenders are secured by a Stock Pledge and Security Agreement covering 100 shares of common stock of Magellan Acquisition Corporation and one (1) share of MV2 (the “Collateral”) held under a Collateral Agent Agreement. Magellan Acquisition Corp. and MV2 own the SDA Mill and El Dorado prospect in Nayarit, Mexico. The Notes matured on December 31, 2019 and remain unpaid and in default. The Lenders have accelerated the Company’s indebtedness. Pursuant to terms set forth in the Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to accept the Collateral in full satisfaction of the Notes and unconditionally and irrevocably waive any entitlement or right to receive payment of (i) the initial 10% Financing Fee included in the principal amount of the Notes, (ii) the 5% Rollover Fee agreed to in an Allonge and Modification Agreement. The effective date of the Agreement was March 31, 2020.

 

Silver District

 

On July 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase agreement with Tri Power Resources, LLC to sell 1,000 shares representing 100% ownership of Gulf+Western Industries, Inc (“Gulf+Western”) to Tri Power in consideration for the return and cancellation of 50,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock with a stated value of $10 per share.

Due to the related party nature of the above transactions, the gain of $206,860 associated with the disposals were recorded to additional paid in capital.

 

Summary

Note 5 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:

 

Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 – Inputs reflecting management’s best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.

 

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party line of credit and notes payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Magellan Gold Corporation

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Magellan Gold Corporation and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern Matter

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that 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 1. 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.

MAGELLAN GOLD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Organization and Nature of Operations

 

Magellan Gold Corporation (“we” “our”, “us”, the “Company” or “Magellan”) was incorporated on September 28, 2010, under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether the properties to which we have mining rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

 

On January 3, 2019, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) informed Magellan Gold Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) that a 1-for-50 reverse split of the Company’s common stock, previously disclosed in the Company’s Definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 22, 2017, would be effective at the market open on January 7, 2019. The stock split has been retroactively adjusted throughout these financial statements and footnotes.

 

Our primary focus is to explore and develop mineral properties in the United States. Effective March 31, 2020, we divested our subsidiary holding all of our international assets and plan to advance our recently acquired Idaho Gold project towards resource definition and eventual development, and possibly to acquire additional mineral rights and conduct additional exploration, development and permitting activities. Our mineral lease payments, permitting applications and exploration and development efforts will require additional capital. We rely upon the sale of our securities as well as advances and loans from executive management and significant shareholders to fund our operations as we have not generated any significant revenue.

 

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our consolidated financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2020, we had not yet generated any significant revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $15,832,969. We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which raises substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due.

 

We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders, or equity financing from the sale of our common stock but cannot assure than any future financings will occur.

 

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

 

On July 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire Clearwater Gold Mining Corporation (“Clearwater”) which owns certain unpatented mining claims in Idaho County, Idaho. The Company will be evaluating the historic mine data to assess the potential to develop a gold resource at Center Star. The project area is located 45 miles from Grangeville, Idaho and near the town of Elk City, Idaho.

 

 

 

 

 F-20 

 

 

On August 25, 2020, the Company, a new wholly owned subsidiary, M Gold Royalty (“M Gold”), to expand into the royalty business. M Gold Royalty will engage in organically generating royalties derived from a portfolio of mineral property interests in North America. Royalties from this portfolio will be complemented by royalties from selected acquisitions as well as income from other strategic investments.

 

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our 100% owned subsidiary, Clearwater and M Gold. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the period presented.

 

We make our estimate of the ultimate outcome for these items based on historical trends and other information available when the financial statements are prepared. Changes in estimates are recognized in accordance with the accounting rules for the estimate, which is typically in the period when new information becomes available. We believe that our significant estimates, assumptions and judgments are reasonable, based upon information available at the time they were made. Actual results could differ from these estimates, making it possible that a change in these estimates could occur in the near term.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation, including the discontinued operations presentation resulting from the disposition of the Company’s Mexico operations in March 2020 and Gulf + Western Industries, Inc. in September 2020. See Note 4.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not believe that any recently issued effective pronouncements, or pronouncements issued but not yet effective, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We value our financial assets and liabilities using fair value measurements. Our financial instruments primarily consist of cash, prepaid expenses, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, amounts due to related parties and notes payable to related parties. Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amount of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable to related parties and other amounts due to related parties approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Our financial instruments which potentially subject us to credit risk are our cash and cash equivalents. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents at reputable financial institutions and currently, we are not exposed to significant credit risk.

 

 

 

 

 F-21 

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all amounts on deposit with financial institutions and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents at the date of purchase.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Mineral Rights

 

We have determined that our mineral rights meet the definition of mineral rights, as defined by accounting standards, and are tangible assets. As a result, our direct costs to acquire or lease mineral rights are initially capitalized as tangible assets. Mineral rights include costs associated with leasing or acquiring patented and unpatented mining claims; leasing mining rights including lease signature bonuses, lease rental payments and advance minimum royalty payments; and options to purchase or lease mineral properties.

 

If we establish proven and probable reserves for a mineral property and establish that the mineral property can be economically developed, mineral rights will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the property following the commencement of commercial production or expensed if it is determined that the mineral property has no future economic value or if the property is sold or abandoned. For mineral rights in which proven and probable reserves have not yet been established, we assess the carrying values for impairment at the end of each reporting period and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

 

The net carrying value of our mineral rights represents the fair value at the time the mineral rights were acquired less accumulated depletion and any abandonment or impairment losses. Proven and probable reserves have not been established for mineral rights as of December 31, 2020. There were no Impairment charges recognized for during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets and Mining Rights

 

We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that our carrying amounts of long-lived assets, including mineral rights, may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, we assess the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through their undiscounted expected future cash flow. If the future undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of these assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated life:

 

  · SDA Mill – 10 years

 

  · Mill equipment – 10 years

 

  · Tailings Dam – 10 years

 

  · Office and Warehouse – 10 years

 


Comprehensive Income/Loss

 

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income/loss and its components in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recognized $68,636 and $40,422 in comprehensive income related to foreign currency translation adjustments for the Mexico operations disposed in March 2020, respectively.

 

 

 

 F-22 

 

 

Notes Payable – Related Parties

 

Notes payable to related parties are classified as current liabilities as either the note holders have the ability to control the repayment dates of the notes or maturity dates are within one year of the reported balance sheet date.

 

Exploration Costs

 

Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that it is economically feasible to extract minerals and the permitting process has been initiated, exploration costs incurred to further delineate and develop the property are considered pre-commercial production costs and will be capitalized and included as mine development costs in our balance sheets.

 

Income Taxes

 

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements and the effect of net operating losses based upon the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no uncertain tax positions.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

We compute basic net loss per common share by dividing our net loss attributable to common shareholders by our weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Computation of diluted net loss per common share adds the weighted-average number of potential common shares outstanding to the weighted-average common shares outstanding, as calculated for basic net loss per share, except for instances in which there is a net loss. For the year ended December 31, 2020, 1,858,635 of warrants, 192,269 shares issuable from Series A Preferred Stock and 990,978 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects. For the year ended December 31, 2019, 335,000 of warrants, 242,269 shares issuable from Series A Preferred Stock and 430,978 shares issuable from convertible notes were considered for their dilutive effects.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, which was adopted on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, with no impact to the Company’s comparative financial statements. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring those goods or services. Revenue is recognized based on the following five step model:

 

  · Identification of the contact with a customer

 

  · Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

 

  · Determination of the transaction price

 

  · Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

 

  · Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies a performance obligation 

 

All of the Company’s revenue is currently generated from the sales of similar products. As such no further disaggregation of revenue information is provided.

 

 

 

 F-23 

 

 

Performance Obligations

 

Revenues are recognized when all the following criteria are satisfied: (i) a contract with an end user exists which has commercial substance; (ii) it is probable the Company will collect the amount charged to the end user; and (iii) the Company has completed its performance obligation whereby the end user has received the benefit of the services or when control of products has transferred to the end user. A contract with commercial substance exists once the Company receives and accepts a purchase order or once it enters into a contract with an end user. If collectibility is not probable, the sale is deferred and not recognized until collection is probable or payment is received. Control of products typically transfers when title and risk of ownership of the product has transferred to the customer or the services are completed. Net revenues comprise gross revenues less customer discounts and allowances, actual and expected returns. Shipping charges billed to customers are included in net sales. Various taxes on the sale of products and services to customers are collected by the Company as an agent and remitted to the respective taxing authority. These taxes are presented on a net basis and recorded as a liability until remitted to the respective taxing authority.

 

Contract Costs

 

Costs incurred to obtain a customer contract are not material to the Company. The Company elected to apply the practical expedient to not capitalize contract costs to obtain contracts with a duration of one year or less, which are expensed and included within cost of goods and services.

 

Contract Liabilities

 

The Company may at times receive payment at the time the customer places an order or requests services. Amounts received for undelivered product are considered a contract liability and are recorded as deferred revenue. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had no deferred revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations included with accrued liabilities.

 


Stock-based Compensation

 

The Company determines the fair value of stock option awards granted to employees and nonemployees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 – 10. Compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.

 

Note 3 – Mineral Rights and Properties

 

Center Star Gold Mine

 

On July 1, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire Clearwater Gold Mining Corporation (“Clearwater”) which owns certain unpatented mining claims in Idaho County, Idaho that include the historic Center Star Gold Mine (“Center Star”) near Elk City, Idaho. As a result of the Clearwater acquisition, Gregory Schifrin, the sole shareholder of Clearwater, was appointed to serve as a member of the Company’s Board on July 1, 2020. In consideration for 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Clearwater, the Company has agreed to pay Clearwater’s sole shareholder 1,000,000 shares of Magellan common stock, $125,000 convertible note and $25,000 in cash. The 1,000,000 shares are to be issued to the shareholder on and under the terms as follows: 250,000 shares at the time of closing, 250,000 shares at the time the Center Mine receives its permit to reopen the main portal of the mine, 250,000 shares at the point the main portal has been reopened and 250,000 shares two-years from closing concurrent the pay-off of the $125,000 convertible note. As of December 31, 2020, the total purchase price for the Clearwater was determined to be $1,000,000 which consisted of $12,500 cash paid, $12,500 accrued in accounts payable – related party, a $125,000 convertible promissory note, and 1,000,000 shares of common stock with a fair value of $850,000. The Company concluded the transaction qualified as an asset acquisition and all such acquisition costs have been capitalized.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company has paid $77,916 and accrued $35,052 in capitalized development cost to develop gold resources at Center Star.

Silver District

 

In August 2012, we entered into an option agreement with Columbus Exploration f/k/a Columbus Silver Corporation, which granted us the right to acquire all of Columbus’ interest in its Silver District properties located in La Paz County, Arizona. We paid Columbus an initial $63,200 on signing of the option and a further $50,000 in December 2012. We paid other patented and unpatented mining claim purchase and lease obligations in 2013 and 2014 to maintain the project claims and leases in good standing. On December 31, 2014, we paid an additional $100,000 to Columbus Exploration to acquire all of Columbus’ interest in its Silver District properties located in La Paz County, Arizona. The properties acquired from Columbus were assigned into our subsidiary Gulf+Western Industries, Inc. and our total acquisition cost capitalized was $323,200.

 

The Silver District property consists of 110 unpatented lode and mill site mining claims, six patented lode claims, and an Arizona State Exploration Permit, all of which are held directly or under lease agreements, totaling over 2,000 acres. Certain of the claims are subject to third party net smelter royalties and/or net profits of varying percentages.

 

On July 9, 2015, G+W entered into two Lease and Purchase Agreements (“Agreements”) with an individual that grant the Company certain exploration and mining rights for two patented lode claims located in the Silver District, La Paz County, Arizona. The Agreements provide for scheduled variable annual advance minimum royalty payments to the lessor. In addition, the Agreements have an initial term of 20 years, and provide for the purchase of the properties for $125,000 each during the term of the lease, net of any advance royalty payments made up to the date of the purchase. The Company paid the initial advance royalty payments totaling $3,000 and advance royalty payments of $3,000 to maintain these Agreements. Due to an uncertainty associated with the clarification of the legal title for these two patented lode claims, these payments have not been capitalized as mining rights, and therefore are included in exploration costs during the period in which the obligation was due. The lease requires annual payments totaling $1,000 until the legal title can be perfected.

 

In January 2020, the Company and NV Gold Corporation (“NVX”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary NV Gold Corporation (USA) (“NV Gold”) entered into a binding letter of intent (“LOI”), whereby NV Gold has the exclusive right to purchase an undivided 100% right, title and interest in and to the Silver District Property and the Property Data in consideration of NV Gold completing certain payments and work commitments. In January 2020, NVX accepted the terms of the LOI and paid the Company $25,000. NVX had until May 11, 2020 to exercise their option to acquire the Silver District project under these terms. NVX did not exercise their option on May 11, 2020 and Magellan retained the $25,000 payment as liquidated damages which was recorded in other income.

 

In July 2020 G + W was disposed of as further discussed in Note 4.

  

Note 4 – Disposition of Business

 

Mexico Operations

 

On March 3, 2017 the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Rose Petroleum plc (“Rose”), a multi-asset natural resource business, to purchase an operating floatation plant that also includes a precious metals leach circuit and associated assets, licenses and agreements (together, the “SDA Mill”) located in the State of Nayarit, Mexico.

 

Prior to closing, all of the assets and operations related to the SDA Mill were transferred to a newly incorporated entity, Minerales Vane 2 S.A. de C.V. (“Minerales Vane 2”). Effective November 30, 2017, the Company’s newly incorporated wholly-owned subsidiary, Magellan Acquisition Corporation (“MAC”), acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Minerales Vane 2 (“MV2”).

 

 

 

 

 F-25 

 

 

Effective March 31, 2020 the Company entered into an Agreement to Accept Collateral in Full Satisfaction of Obligations (the “Agreement”) with certain holders of Promissory Notes (the “Lenders”) due December 31, 2019 (the “Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $1.05 million. The Company is indebted under the Notes to the Lenders and the Company’s obligations to the Lenders are secured by a Stock Pledge and Security Agreement covering 100 shares of common stock of Magellan Acquisition Corporation and one (1) share of MV2 (the “Collateral”) held under a Collateral Agent Agreement. Magellan Acquisition Corp. and MV2 own the SDA Mill and El Dorado prospect in Nayarit, Mexico. The Notes matured on December 31, 2019 and remain unpaid and in default. The Lenders have accelerated the Company’s indebtedness. Pursuant to terms set forth in the Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to accept the Collateral in full satisfaction of the Notes and unconditionally and irrevocably waive any entitlement or right to receive payment of (i) the initial 10% Financing Fee included in the principal amount of the Notes, (ii) the 5% Rollover Fee agreed to in an Allonge and Modification Agreement. The effective date of the Agreement was March 31, 2020.

 

Silver District

 

On July 21, 2020, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase agreement with Tri Power Resources, LLC to sell 1,000 shares representing 100% ownership of Gulf+Western Industries, Inc (“Gulf+Western”) to Tri Power in consideration for the return and cancellation of 50,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock with a stated value of $10 per share. John Gibbs, a majority shareholder in the Company, is the Managing Member and Chief Executive Officer of Tri Power Resources, LLC.

 

Due to the related party nature of the above transactions, the gain of $206,860 associated with the disposals were recorded to additional paid in capital.

 

Summary

 

As a result of the agreements above, the assets and liabilities of the Gulf+Western, MAC and MV2 operations have been reflected as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 as follows:

Note 5 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:

 

Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 – Inputs reflecting management’s best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.

 

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party line of credit and notes payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities.

 

Note 6 – Notes Payable – Related Parties

 

On May 31, 2017 we entered into three short-term notes with Mr. Gibbs, Dr. Carson and Mr. Power in the principal amounts of $100,000, $25,000 and $25,000, respectively. The notes bear interest at 6% and matured on November 15, 2017. The note balances were subsequently rolled into the Series 2017 Notes. A total of $752 of interest is accrued on these notes as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

  

On November 30, 2017 we entered into a series of secured promissory notes (“Series 2017 Notes”) with both related and unrelated parties in the aggregate amount of $1,155,000, including financing fees of $105,000 recorded as a discount to the notes. During the year ended December 31, 2019, a total of $57,750 of additional fees were added to the principal amount and recorded as a discount to the notes related of an extension of the maturity date to December 31, 2019. Of the additional fees $52,250 was related to the related party portion of these notes and $5,500 was related to their third party portion. The balance on these notes, net of discount of $0, was $1,069,376 as of December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019 $ 57,750 of debt discount related to the above notes was amortized to interest expense. The notes are secured by a stock pledge agreement covering 100% of the outstanding common stock of Magellan Acquisition Corporation, bear interest at 10%.

 

 

 

 

 F-27 

 

 

The total of portion of the Series 2017 Notes from related parties totaled $1,045,000, including financing fees of $95,000 recorded as discount to the notes. Mr. Gibbs, Dr. Carson, and Mr. Power transferred $100,000, $25,000, and $25,000, respectively, from the May 31, 2017 short term related party notes into the Series 2017 Notes.

 

The Series 2017 Notes were in default as of December 31, 2019. Consequently, on March 31, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement to Accept Collateral in Full Satisfaction of Obligations (the “Agreement”) with the holders of the Series 2017 Notes (the “Lenders”) due December 31, 2019 in the aggregate principal amount of $1.14 million. The Company is indebted under the Series 2017 Notes to the Lenders and the Company’s obligations to the Lenders are secured by a Stock Pledge and Security Agreement covering 100 shares of common stock of MAC and one (1) share of MV2 (the “Collateral”) held under a Collateral Agent Agreement.
