2. Summary of Significant Account Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and are expressed in US dollars. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States for complete annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2013 or for any other interim period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto as of and for the period ended September 30, 2012 filed as an exhibit to the Form 8-K on December 17, 2012.

 

The Company's fiscal year-end is September 30. The Company's functional currency is CDN dollars. The Company's reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated into the U.S. dollar using the exchange rates at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the reporting period. Shareholders' equity is translated at historical rates. Adjustments resulting from translating the interim consolidated financial statements into the U.S. dollar are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the statement of shareholders' equity (deficit).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

ASC 220 "Comprehensive Income" established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. The Company is disclosing this information on its statement operations and comprehensive loss. Comprehensive income comprised equity except for those transactions resulting from investments by owners and distribution to owners

 

Cash

 

Cash, includes deposits in banks which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is comprised of mineralized material that is available for immediate concentration and processing. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

 

Mineral Property and Exploration Costs

 

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on May 16, 2012, and it has been undertaking plans and taking steps to build a facility which will be capable of processing the mineralized material on its property.

 

Before mineralization is classified as "proven and probable" reserves; costs are expensed and classified as Mineral property and exploration costs. Capitalization of mine development project costs, that meet the definition of an asset, begins once mineralization is classified as "proven and probable reserves."

 

When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to acquire and develop such property are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

 

Mineral Properties

 

Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred and will be amortized using the units of production method over the estimated life of the reserve following the commencement of production.  If a mineral property is subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be expensed in the period of abandonment or impairment.

 

Acquisition costs include cash consideration and the fair value of shares issued on the acquisition of mineral properties.

 

Exploration Costs

 

Exploration costs, which include maintenance, development and exploration of mineral claims, are expensed as incurred.  When it is determined that a mineral deposit can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred after such determination will be capitalized and amortized over their useful lives.  To date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of its exploration prospects; therefore, all exploration costs are being expensed.

 

Mining Rights

 

The Company has determined that its patented mining claims meet the definition of mineral resource asset, as defined by accounting standards, and are tangible assets. As a result, the costs of mining assets are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased. If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserves. The Company's rights to extract minerals are not limited by time. For mining rights in which proven and probable reserves have not yet been established, the Company assesses the carrying value for impairment at the end of each reporting period. During the period ended December 31, 2012, the Company did not record any impairment charges.

 

Impairment of Long Lived Assets

 

The Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

 

Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value. Management believes no impairment exists as of December 31, 2012.

 

Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is defined as 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 in the principal or most advantageous market. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that has three levels of inputs, both observable and unobservable. Accounting standards require utilization of the highest level of input to determine fair value. The three levels of input are as follows:

 

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2 - observable inputs other than Level 1, 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, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and

 

Level 3 - assets and liabilities whose significant value drivers are unobservable and cooberated by little or no market data.

 

The Company's asset recorded at fair value is cash, which is based on Level 1 inputs.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets when it is determined to be more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

The Company determines its income tax expense in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. The income tax expense includes an estimate of the current income tax expense, as well as deferred income tax expense, which results from the determination of temporary differences arising from the different treatment of items for book and tax purposes.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the United States and its subsidiary files income tax returns in Canada and the Province of Ontario.

 

The Company assesses the likelihood of the financial statement effect of a tax position that should be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the tax position, circumstances, and information available as of the reporting date. Management does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that would result in an asset or liability for taxes being recognized in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes tax-related interest and penalties, if any, as a component of income tax expense.

 

FASB ASC 740 prescribes recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. At December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2012 the Company has not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income ("ASU No. 2011-05"), which improves the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and increases the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income ("OCI") by eliminating the option to present components of OCI as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments in this standard require that all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Subsequently in December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU No. 2011-12"), which indefinitely defers the requirement in ASU No. 2011-05 to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of OCI are presented. The amendments in these standards do not change the items that must be reported in OCI, when an item of OCI must be reclassified to net income, or change the option for an entity to present components of OCI gross or net of the effect of income taxes. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-05 and ASU No. 2011-12 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of the provisions of ASU No. 2011-05 and ASU No. 2011-12 in 2012 did not have a material impact on the presentation of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
