Nature, Basis of Presentation and Continuance of Operations
|
We
were incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name Gondwana
Energy, Ltd. on September 5, 1997, and previously operated under the
name Finmetal Mining Ltd. and Amazon Goldsands Ltd. Our operations have
historically focused on the acquisition and development of mineral
property interests in varying locations, including Finland and Peru. The
current focus of our business and operations is on the development of
our mineral and oil property interests on properties located in the
western United States and we are evaluating mineral and oil property
interests and seeking opportunities in other geographical areas.
We
no longer have any interest in any properties located in northeastern
Peru. For reasons which include our inability to secure sufficient
financing to be able to cure our default on notes we used to finance our
acquisition of the property interests in Peru, we reached an agreement
to relinquish our entire interest in the property interests in Peru in
exchange for the cancellation of such notes and related outstanding
obligations.
In
2011, we reviewed potential properties for acquisition in Colombia, and
expanded our focus to North America which resulted in our acquiring
certain mineral property interests in Montana and Idaho in late 2011.
Company personnel and consultants are planning our exploration plans,
conducting site visits, and reviewing several projects for potential
acquisition, and in 2012 we added to our mineral property position
through the acquisition of the Skip claims in Montana. We also in 2011
entered into agreements to acquire mineral property interest in the
South Idaho Silver and Boulder Hill projects, conducting active due
diligence and acquisition work in Croatia, and in 2013 signed a
memorandum of understanding on the Nile Mine project in Montana.
In 2014 the Company elected to operate through both a Mining and through an Energy division.
The
Company announced a Letter of Intent for a Purchase and Sale Agreement
which was entered into on July 15, 2014, and subsequently amended on
August 27, 2014. This resulted in the Company acquiring various personal
property including transportation and drilling equipment, land and
buildings, and other assets including interests in oil wells and leases.
The Company has established a divisional office in Albany, Kentucky for
its energy division in September 2014. The Company's current activities
are primarily focused on initiating and expanding oil production.
The
Company is in a process of reviewing its mining division strategy and
business plan to re-focus on projects with a shorter time frame for
development or securing joint-venture partners.
The
Company has hired several operations personnel and is expecting more
significant production to begin in the fourth quarter of the current
fiscal year. The Company's short term objective is to reach a target
monthly production of 1,000 to 2,500 barrels of oil per month, which is
subject to working capital availability and the risk factors described
herein.
On
April 2, 2015 the company announced that, with the declining oil prices
and the high drilling and production costs that the company had
divested itself of some of its oil and gas assets and paid off a Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollar bank note, releasing liens held on other
equipment owned by the company. It also announced it had entered into an
agreement with Triangle Restaurant Group to acquire their operations
and to join with them in developing a fast food franchise. The company
is looking to open its first two locations by the end of September 2015.
Additionally, on July 28, 2015, the company announced it is acquiring
100% interest in Enterprise Partners, Inc., which includes its current
assets as well as all acquisition contracts the company has in place.
Enterprise Partners currently has agreements in place to acquire 11
operating convenience stores in Alabama as well as a commercial fuel
facility. The company has stated that, based on initial finances
provided by the selling party, the 11 convenience store locations are
currently producing in excess of $15 Million Annually in combined
revenue and well over $1 Million in profits. Management believes that a
significant portion of our future income as well as the bulk of our
future expenditures and development will occur within these new business
opportunities. The current plan is to place restaurants
franchises currently owned by the company through its acquisition of
Triangle Restaurant Group in the convenience store locations that the
company is currently in the process of purchasing. These three
ventures: Restaurants, Convenience Stores, and the Commercial Fuel
Terminal, will act as the underlying revenue objectives of the company
moving forward.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America ("GAAP") applicable to exploration stage
enterprises, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company's fiscal
year end is 31 December.
The
Company's consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2016 and the
three then ended have been prepared on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities
and commitments in the normal course of business.
The
Company had a net loss of $533,682 for the three months ended 30
September 2016 (30 June 2015- Net loss of $5,529,119) and has a working
capital surplus of $3605 at 30 June 2016 (30 June 2015 - $33,833), but
management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately
achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise
additional debt and/or equity capital. The Company's solvency, ability
to meet its liabilities as they become due, and to continue its
operations, has been dependent on funding provided by numerous financing
institutions. If these parties are unwilling to provide ongoing
funding to the Company and/or if the Company is unable to raise
additional capital in the immediate future, the Company will need to
curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less
favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures or cease
operations. This material uncertainty may cast significant doubt about
the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. These
condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern including adjustments related to employee
severance pay and other costs related to ceasing operations.

If
the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the immediate
future, the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets,
seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other
remedial measures or cease operations. This material uncertainty may
cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a
going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern including adjustments related to
employee severance pay and other costs related to ceasing operations.
These
condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for interim financial information and the SEC
instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and
consist solely of normal recurring adjustments. Operating results for
the interim period ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that can be expected for the full year.

Significant Accounting Policies
|
The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the
preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements.
Principles of consolidation
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Finmetal, a
company incorporated under the laws of Finland, since its date of
acquisition on 27 November 2006 and the results of Beardmore Holdings,
Inc. ("Beardmore"), a company incorporated under the laws of Panama, to
the date of disposal on 21 September 2011. All inter-company balances
and transactions have been eliminated in these condensed consolidated
financial statements.
Cash and cash equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of
three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As
at 30 September 2016 and as 30 September 2015, the Company had $1,341
and $0 in cash and cash equivalents.
Property and equipment
Furniture,
computer equipment, office equipment and computer software are carried
at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives of three to
five years at rates as follows:
Furniture, computer and office equipment
|
Five years
|
|
|
Computer software
|
Three Years
|
The
property and equipment is written down to its net realizable value if
it is determined that its carrying value exceeds estimated future
benefits to the Company.
Mineral property costs
Mineral
property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets
when purchased. At the end of each fiscal quarter, the Company assesses
the carrying costs for impairment. 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
reserve.

Notes to condensed consolidated financial statements

Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
Estimated
future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable, are
provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production
basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and
environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based
on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and
industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration expense or the
provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the
actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision
amounts as incurred.
As
of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the
Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its
mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs.
Although
the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in
which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for
the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not
guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior
agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Environmental costs
Environmental
expenditures that are related to current operations are charged to
operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an
existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not
contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to
operations. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments
and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably
estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the
earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company's
commitments to a plan of action based on the then known facts.
Stock-based compensation
Effective 1 January 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718, "
Compensation - Stock Compensation
", which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for
employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based
compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated
fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the
employees' requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the
equity grant).
Basic and diluted loss per share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, "
Earnings per Share
". ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per
share ("EPS") on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is
computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders
(numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding
(denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all
dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the
treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the
if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price
for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be
purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS
excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect was
anti-dilutive.
Financial instruments
The
carrying value of amounts receivable, bank indebtedness, accounts
payable and convertible promissory notes approximates their fair value
because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company's
financial risk is the risk that arises from fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently,
the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure
to foreign currency risk.

Income taxes
Deferred
income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of
income or expense reported in the financial statements and those
reported for income tax purposes in accordance with ASC 740, "
Income Taxes
", which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting
for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized
for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities
and their respective tax bases, and for tax losses and credit
carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated
future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and
carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
Long-lived assets impairment
Long-term
assets of the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be
recoverable, pursuant to guidance established in ASC 360-10-35-15,
"Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"
. Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value
exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations
(undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to
exist, the assets will be written down to fair value. Fair value is
generally determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. The company
recorded an impairment loss of $0 and $0 for the three months
ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Asset retirement obligations
The Company has adopted ASC 410,
"Assets Retirement and Environmental Obligations"
, which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset
retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is
incurred. ASC 410 requires the Company to record a liability for the
present value of the estimated site restoration costs with a
corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived
assets. The liability will be accreted and the asset will be depreciated
over the life of the related assets. Adjustments for changes resulting
from the passage of time and changes to either the timing or amount of
the original present value estimate underlying the obligation will be
made.
Convertible debt
The Company has adopted ASC 470-20,
"Debt with Conversion and Other Options"
and applies this guidance retrospectively to all periods presented upon
those fiscal years. The Company records a beneficial conversion feature
related to the issuance of convertible debts that have conversion
features at fixed or adjustable rates. The beneficial conversion feature
for the convertible instruments is recognized and measured by
allocating a portion of the proceeds as an increase in additional
paid-in capital and as a reduction to the carrying amount of the
convertible instrument equal to the intrinsic value of the conversion
features. The beneficial conversion feature will be accreted by
recording additional non-cash interest expense over the expected life of
the convertible notes.
As
of January 1, 2013, it was determined that the conversion features in
the convertible debt were derivative liabilities. Accordingly, we have
separately measured and accounted for these derivative liabilities, in
accordance with ASC 815-15.
Use of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results may
differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, "Development Stage Entities
(Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting
Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities
Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation". The guidance eliminates the
definition of a development stage entity thereby removing the
incremental financial reporting requirements from U.S. GAAP for
development stage entities, primarily presentation of inception to date
financial information. The provisions of the amendments are effective
for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and the
interim periods therein. However, early adoption is permitted.
Accordingly, the Company has adopted this standard as of June 30, 2014.
The
Company does not expect the adoption of any other recent accounting
pronouncements to have a material impact on its financial statements.

Boulder Hill Project
On
December 16, 2011, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement
("Purchase Agreement") with Boulder Hill Mines Inc., an Idaho
corporation ("Boulder Hill") relating to the purchase from Boulder Hill
of three unpatented mining claims situated in Lincoln County, Montana
(the "Boulder Hill Claims").
During
the year ended 31 December 2013, the Company decided to cancel the
portion of the Boulder Hill project involving the state lease, and is in
the process of re-staking unpatented mining claims. During the six
month period ended 30 June 2014 the Company spent $1,250 in consulting
fees related to preparation for the re-staking ($0 exploration costs
during six month period ended 30 June 2013).
South Idaho Silver Project
On
7 December 2011 (the "Effective Date"), the Company entered into an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the "CCS Assignment") with Castle
Creek Silver Inc. ("Castle Creek"), an Idaho corporation, and Robert
Ebisch ("Robert E") to acquire by way of assignment from Castle Creek
all of its rights, responsibilities and obligations under an Option to
Purchase and Royalty Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated 15 July
2011, by and between Castle Creek and Robert E. Castle Creek, under the
Purchase Agreement, had the option to acquire an undivided 100% of the
right, title and interest of Robert E in the unpatented mining claims
owned and situated in Owyhee County, Idaho (the "South Idaho Property").
Pursuant
to the terms of the CCS Assignment, Castle Creek transferred and
assigned the Company all of its right, title and interest, in, to and
under the Purchase Agreement and the Company assumed the assignment of
the Purchase Agreement agreeing to be bound, the same extent as Castle
Creek, to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement.
The
Company is currently in default with regards to certain obligations
related to the South Idaho Property and is in the process of
renegotiating the terms with Castle Creek, or determining to re-stake
the mining claims. During 2013, the Company recorded a provision for
write-down of mineral property interests of in the amount of $36,650
related to the South Idaho Property. During the six month period ended
30 September 2014, the Company paid $1,250 for a review and update of
its database in preparation of re-staking (no exploration costs were
incurred during the six month period ended 30 June 2013).

8. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is committed to making repayments related to the convertible promissory notes payable.
9 . Fair Value of Financial Instruments
A
fair value hierarchy was established that prioritizes the inputs used
to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to
unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The fair values of the financial instruments were determined using the following input levels and valuation techniques:
|
Level 1:
|
classification
is applied to any asset or liability that has a readily available
quoted market price from an active market where there is significant
transparency in the executed/quoted price.
|
|
Level 2:
|
classification
is applied to assets and liabilities that have evaluated prices where
the data inputs to these valuations are observable either directly or
indirectly, but do not represent quoted market prices from an active
market.
|
|
Level 3:
|
classification
is applied to assets and liabilities when prices are not derived from
existing market data and requires us to develop our own assumptions
about how market participants would price the asset or liability.
|
Our
financial assets and (liabilities) carried at fair value measured on a
recurring basis as of September 30, 2016, consisted of the following:

Credit Risk
Credit
risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or counterparty to
a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and
arises primarily from the Company's cash and cash equivalents. The
Company manages its credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents by
dealing only with highly-rated United States financial institutions. As
a result, credit risk is considered insignificant.
Currency Risk
The
majority of the Company's cash flows and financial assets and
liabilities are denominated in US dollars, which is the Company's
functional and reporting currency. Foreign currency risk is limited to
the portion of the Company's business transactions denominated in
currencies other than the US dollar.
The
Company monitors and forecasts the values of net foreign currency cash
flow and balance sheet exposures and from time to time could authorize
the use of derivative financial instruments such as forward foreign
exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of foreign currency
fluctuations. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments
to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

Liquidity Risk
Liquidity
risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its
financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity
risk by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows and
matching the maturity profile of financial assets and liabilities. The
Company had a working capital deficit of $4,143,726 at December 31,
2014, and $1,692,016, but management cannot provide assurance that the
Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash
flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital.
Other Risks
Unless otherwise noted, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk and commodity price risk.
10. Other receivable
As
of September 30, 2016, the Company has not recorded other receivable
for loan proceeds, where the debt instrument was finalized, but proceeds
were not received until after period end.
11. Subsequent Events
First
Colombia Gold Corp. signed an exclusive franchise agreement within
their restaurant division, Triangle Restaurant Group. This
agreement is for a high-end Italian cuisine concept with the first
location located in Somerset, Kentucky also already under
contract. The location features a lake front property and also

As
used in this Quarterly Report, the terms "we," "us," "our," "the
Company", and "First Colombia" mean First Colombia Gold Corp. and our
subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated.
Corporate History
We
were incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name Gondwana
Energy, Ltd. on September 5, 1997, and previously operated under the
name Finmetal Mining Ltd. and Amazon Goldsands Ltd. Our operations have
historically focused on the acquisition and development of mineral
property interests in varying locations, including Finland and Peru. The
current focus of our business and operations is on the development of
our mineral and oil property interests on properties located in the
western United States and we are evaluating mineral and oil property
interests and seeking opportunities in other geographical areas.
We
no longer have any interest in any properties located in northeastern
Peru. For reasons which include our inability to secure sufficient
financing to be able to cure our default on notes we used to finance our
acquisition of the property interests in Peru, we reached an agreement
to relinquish our entire interest in the property interests in Peru in
exchange for the cancellation of such notes and related outstanding
obligations.
In
2011, we reviewed potential properties for acquisition in Colombia, and
expanded our focus to North America which resulted in our acquiring
certain mineral property interests in Montana and Idaho in late 2011.
Company personnel and consultants are planning our exploration plans,
conducting site visits, and reviewing several projects for potential
acquisition, and in 2012 we added to our mineral property position
through the acquisition of the Skip claims in Montana. We also in 2011
entered into agreements to acquire mineral property interest in the
South Idaho Silver and Boulder Hill projects, conducting active due
diligence and acquisition work in Croatia, and in 2013 signed a
memorandum of understanding on the Nile Mine project in Montana.
In 2014 the Company elected to operate through both a Mining and through an Energy division.
The
Company announced a Letter of Intent for a Purchase and Sale Agreement
which was entered into on July 15, 2014, and subsequently amended on
August 27, 2014. This resulted in the Company acquiring various personal
property including transportation and drilling equipment, land and
buildings, and other assets including interests in oil wells and leases.
The Company has established a divisional office in Albany, Kentucky for
its energy division in September 2014. The Company's current activities
are primarily focused on initiating and expanding oil production.
The
Company is in a process of reviewing its mining division strategy and
business plan to re-focus on projects with a shorter time frame for
development or securing joint-venture partners.
The
Company has hired several operations personnel and is expecting more
significant production to begin in the fourth quarter of the current
fiscal year. The Company's short term objective is to reach a target
monthly production of 1,000 to 2,500 barrels of oil per month, which is
subject to working capital availability and the risk factors described
herein.
On
April 2 the company announced it has entered into an agreement with
Triangle Restaurant Group to acquire their operations and to join with
them in developing a fast food franchise. The company is looking to open
its first two locations by the end of September 2015. Additionally, on
July 28, 2015, the company announced it is acquiring 100% interest in
Enterprise Partners, Inc., which includes its current assets as well as
all acquisition contracts the company has in place. Enterprise Partners
currently has agreements in place to acquire 11 operating convenience
stores in Alabama as well as a commercial fuel facility. The company has
stated that, based on initial finances provided by the selling party,
the 11 convenience store locations are currently producing in excess of
$15 Million Annually in combined revenue and well over $1 Million in
profits. Management believes that a significant portion of our future
income as well as the bulk of our future expenditures and development
will occur within these new business opportunities. The current
plan is to place restaurants franchises currently owned by the company
through its acquisition of Triangle Restaurant Group in the convenience
store locations that the company is currently in the process of
purchasing. These three ventures: Restaurants, Convenience Stores,
and the Commercial Fuel Terminal, will act as the underlying revenue
objectives of the company moving forward.
In
order to better achieve that objective, the company announced that a
Joint Venture on November 9, 2015 with Singa Energy Solutions.
Singa Energy Solutions is a global energy development company that
specializes in power plant manufacturing and development in emerging
markets. Additionally, they have a broad network of energy
suppliers and end users that will greatly aid the company in
distributing and selling petroleum products both in the United States
and around the world.
On
April 4, 2016, the company announced that it had acquired Singa Energy
Solutions. This acquisition was the result of a five month joint venture
partnership in which both companies realized the benefit and
opportunity that operating within a single entity as one company could
provide as well as allowing for better structure and streamlined
operations to benefit both the domestic and international operations.
Overview
We
are in the business of precious minerals exploration and oil and gas
exploration and production, operating through a Mining Division and an
Energy Division. The Company aims to build assets, cash flow and revenue
through the acquisition, development, leasing and production from
assets, mineral or oil and gas interests. We face significant challenges
form competition, financing availability, regulatory issues and world
commodity prices that effect our ability to successfully implement our
business plan.
-5-
Our
strategy is to identify undervalued assets, acquire or gain an interest
in, and add value through exploration, development, leasing or
joint-ventures, and where feasible go into production. Our plan to
implement this strategy building multiple revenue streams from
production, acquiring royalties and net working interests, leasing or
join-venturing projects acquired, and providing oil field services using
equipment we have acquired.
Our
current focus is integrating the assets acquired in Kentucky during the
quarter, and establishing and building production through providing
management, working capital and implementing enhanced recovery
techniques to the assets and oil interests acquired.

work commitment for this period of $250,000 and annual minimum advance
royalty payments of $5,000 per year in cash, common shares, or preferred
shares, at First Colombia's option, for First Colombia to earn a 50%
interest in the project. Should a mutually agreed upon definitive
agreement not be agreed on and implemented within the effective date of
this agreement, the payment referred to above shall be non-refundable.
As above this requirement is temporarily waived.
On
the effective Date: May 1, 2013, The Company was responsible for all
property maintenance fees, estimated not to exceed $500 annually at
the current BLM Maintenance Fee rate.
The
foregoing description of the MOU does not purport to be complete and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the MOU, previously filed on
the Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Description of Property
Location
The
project is located in Marysville Mining District in the Marysville
area, and is comprised of the Nile Mine and nearby Springer II Placer
mining claim, comprising approximately fifty-five acres.
The
Nile Mine Project consists of two unpatented lode claims covering the
over 1,000 feet of the unpatented section of Nile and South Nile Veins
and the Nile Cross-Cut located in Section 4, T11N, R6W.
The
Springer II Placer consists of one unpatented placer claim covering
three tailing ponds and nearly 0.3 miles of old dredge piles in Section
32, T12N, R6W. The mill tailings are from the Empire Mill located
further up the drainage.

Table of Contents
History
The
placer property contains evidence of production from a former
gold-silver mill. Prior sampling identified about 13,000 cubic yards of
mill tailings containing gold, silver, and copper values. The Company
has not verified prior sampling results. The lead-silver-gold mine
reported intermittent production from 1890's through 1940's.
Regional Geology
The Company is currently reviewing regional and project geology.
Project Infrastructure, Access and Power
There
is evidence and historical information that indicates some level of
production from the Nile Mine but the Company hasn't completed a
thorough review of this data.
Reserves
There are no established reserves on the project.
Permitting
In
Montana an Exploration License or POO (Plan of Operation) may be
required depending on the extent of planned surface disturbance or water
discharge form exploration and development activities, and such permits
can typically require bonding.
Exploration Plans
We
have been in discussions with GMRV for an initial exploration plan
involving surface sampling, road building and other rehabilitation work
to improve underground access, and possible bulk sampling. We estimate
this plan would cost between $5,000 to $25,000, and provided funding is
available, we plan to embark on this plan in the period between January
and June 2016... During the quarter surface samples were taken of the
property and are awaiting assay. The Company incurred $5,000 related to
the implementation of the MOU agreement, in the period ending September
30, 2014. The Company however is in default to the original MOU, thus
would need to negotiate a revised agreement to proceed for which there
is no assurance a revision could be negotiate under terms the company
considers acceptable.
Skip Claims
Land Status
The Skip unpatented mining claims comprise approximately forty acres and are considered a potential silver prospect.
Reserves
There are no established reserves on the property.
Exploration History
The
Company has no documented information on prior exploration history. The
Company has noticed evidence of trenching on the property.
Exploration Plans
The
Company's next step would be to prepare basic mapping, geologic mapping
and taking surface samples. The Company believes that seeking a
joint-venture partner would be the preferable approach to advancing the
project.
-9-
Other Exploration Areas
Our
strategy is to advance projects we own, lease or option, and seek
joint-venture partners where possible, and to acquire additional
projects in different geographical areas though our concentration
currently is in Montana and Idaho. There is no assurance this will
result in additional projects for the Company, or if they do the Company
will meet regulatory and financial requirements to acquire any projects
identified.
We
are also considering further geographic locations for exploration
projects including Mexico and Europe. This activity consists primarily
of reviewing historical data to determine potential areas of interest,
to be followed by a determination for requirements and potential for
acquiring mineral property interest. These activities may not lead to
future acquisitions absent future financing under terms deemed
acceptable to, if any such financing is available, and determining
properties that management believes are properties of merit to add to
our portfolio of mineral interests. The Company has retained consulting
assistance in south Eastern Europe, and we forecast consulting
expenditures of $5,000 to $15,000 in the upcoming six months.

Energy Division
-11-
Table of Contents
The
Company during the quarter appointed a CEO and Director with experience
in the energy sector, and began due diligence on acquiring oil assets
in Kentucky with an objective of building assets and cash flow in this
sector providing suitable acquisitions are both identified and feasible
for the Company to acquire. On July 15, 2014 a Purchase and Sales
Agreement was signed, subsequently amended on August 27, 2014, to
acquire certain oil interests including equipment, land and buildings
(further described below).
The Company's strategy is to build assets and cash flow through acquiring undervalued energy assets and build value through:
●
|
Building economies of scale in exploration , development , production and distribution
|
●
|
Adding reserves and increasing production by providing capital for exploration, equipment and well enhancement
|
●
|
Conducting
exploration on properties and oil interests acquired which prior owners
were unable to do due to financial or other constraints
|
●
|
Seek
to be vertically integrated by building our own oil field services
capability for drilling, maintenance and development wherever this is
more cost effective
|
The
Company expects this business plan to implement our strategy will
result in a business model providing three revenue streams:
●
|
A revenue, profit or royalty interest in certain oil wells and leases
|
●
|
As a contractor providing oil well services ranging from drilling to operating to maintaining
|
●
|
Exploring and producing from wells and leases we own outright, which are subject to third-party royalties or working interests
|
General Oil and Gas Industry Overview
Our energy division is principally focused on "upstream" activities which include (a) acquiring mineral rights (b)
exploring
for oil (c) drilling wells and installing production equipment
(d)lifting the oil to surface (e) storing and preparing for transport.
Oil
prices are volatile depending on various factors: competing energy
sources (coal, natural gas, nuclear, solar, wind, hydroelectric, and
others) ; political turmoil in areas of significant production or
reserves; general economic trends, and other actors.
The
Company in the third quarter acquired interests in oil wells in
Kentucky from a private company. The Company efforts are focused on
maintaining production, expanding production and targeted drilling in
areas the Company believes are most prospective for new or increased
production. We acquired at the same time land, building, and oil field
service equipment to support this effort, and hired a local general
manger with long experience in the oil industry and Kentucky in
particular. We received our first revenue payment during the quarter,
and in accordance with our business plan are focused on increasing
revenue and cash flow from the oil interests acquired.
Competition
The
oil and gas industry is highly competitive. Our competitors and
potential competitors include major oil companies and independent
producers of varying sizes which are engaged in the acquisition of
producing properties and the exploration and development of prospects.
Most of our competitors have greater financial, personnel and other
resources than we do and therefore have greater leverage in acquiring
prospects, hiring personnel and marketing oil and gas.
Government Regulations
The
production and sale of oil and gas is subject to regulation by state,
federal and local authorities. In most areas there are statutory
provisions regulating the production of oil and natural gas under which
administrative agencies may set allowable rates of production and
promulgate rules in connection with the operation and production of such
wells, ascertain and determine the reasonable market demand of oil and
gas, and adjust allowable rates with respect thereto.
The
sale of liquid hydrocarbons was subject to federal regulation under the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 which amended various acts,
including the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973. These
regulations and controls included mandatory restrictions upon the prices
at which most domestic and crude oil and various petroleum products
could be sold. All price controls and restrictions on the sale of crude
oil at the wellhead have been withdrawn. It is possible, however, that
such controls may be re-imposed in the future but when, if ever, such
re-imposition might occur and the effect thereof is unknown.
-12-
Table of Contents
The
sale of certain categories of natural gas in interstate commerce is
subject to regulation under the Natural Gas Act and the Natural Gas
Policy Act of 1978 ("NGPA"). Under the NGPA, a comprehensive set of
statutory ceiling prices applies to all first sales of natural gas
unless the gas specifically exempt from regulation (i.e., unless the gas
is deregulated). Administration and enforcement of the NGPA ceiling
prices are delegated to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
("FERC"). In June 1986 the FERC issued Order No. 451, which in general
is designed to provide a higher NGPA ceiling price for certain vintages
of old gas. It is possible, though unlikely, that we may in the future
acquire significant amounts of natural gas subject to NGPA price
regulations and/or FERC Order No. 451.
Our
operations are subject to extensive and continually changing regulation
because of legislation affecting the oil and natural gas industry is
under constant review for amendment and expansion. Many departments and
agencies, both federal and state, are authorized by statute to issue and
have issued rules and regulations binding on the oil and natural gas
industry and its individual participants. The failure to comply with
such rules and regulations can result in large penalties. The regulatory
burden on this industry increases our cost of doing business and,
therefore, affects our profitability. However, we do not believe that we
are affected in a significantly different way by these regulations than
our competitors are affected.
Transportation and Production
Transportation and Sale of Oil and Natural Gas
. We can make sales of oil, natural gas and condensate at market prices
which are not subject to price controls at this time. The price that we
receive from the sale of these products is affected by our ability to
transport and the cost of transporting these products to market. Under
applicable laws, FERC regulates:
● the construction of natural gas pipeline facilities, and
● the rates for transportation of these products in interstate commerce.
Our
possible future sales of natural gas are affected by the availability,
terms and cost of pipeline transportation. The price and terms for
access to pipeline transportation remain subject to extensive federal
and state regulation. Several major regulatory changes have been
implemented by Congress and FERC from 1985 to the present. These changes
affect the economics of natural gas production, transportation and
sales. In addition, FERC is continually proposing and implementing new
rules and regulations affecting these segments of the natural gas
industry that remain subject to FERC's jurisdiction. The most notable of
these are natural gas transmission companies.
FERC's
more recent proposals may affect the availability of interruptible
transportation service on interstate pipelines. These initiatives may
also affect the intrastate transportation of gas in some cases. The
stated purpose of many of these regulatory changes is to promote
competition among the various sectors of the natural gas industry. These
initiatives generally reflect more light-handed regulation of the
natural gas industry. The ultimate impact of the complex rules and
regulations issued by FERC since 1985 cannot be predicted. In addition,
some aspects of these regulatory developments have not become final but
are still pending judicial and FERC final decisions. We cannot predict
what further action FERC will take on these matters. However, we do not
believe that any action taken will affect us much differently than it
will affect other natural gas producers, gatherers and marketers with
which we might compete.
Effective
as of January 1, 1995, FERC implemented regulations establishing an
indexing system for transportation rates for oil. These regulations
could increase the cost of transporting oil to the purchaser. We do not
believe that these regulations will affect us any differently than other
oil producers and marketers with which we compete.
Regulation of Drilling and Production
. Our proposed drilling and production operations are subject to
regulation under a wide range of state and federal statutes, rules,
orders and regulations. Among other matters, these statutes and
regulations govern:
●
|
|
the amounts and types of substances and materials that may be released into the environment,
|
●
|
|
the discharge and disposition of waste materials,
|
●
|
|
the reclamation and abandonment of wells and facility sites, and
|
●
|
|
the remediation of contaminated sites,
|
-13-
Table of Contents
and require:
●
|
|
permits for drilling operations,
|
●
|
|
reports concerning operations.
|
Environmental Regulations
General
. Our operations are affected by the various state, local and federal environmental laws and regulations, including the:
●
|
|
Oil Pollution Act of 1990,
|
●
|
|
Federal Water Pollution Control Act,
|
●
|
|
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"),
|
●
|
|
Toxic Substances Control Act, and
|
●
|
|
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA").
|
These
laws and regulations govern the discharge of materials into the
environment or the disposal of waste materials, or otherwise relate to
the protection of the environment. In particular, the following
activities are subject to stringent environmental regulations:
●
|
|
development and production operations,
|
●
|
|
activities in connection with storage and transportation of oil and other liquid hydrocarbons, and
|
●
|
|
use of facilities for treating, processing or otherwise handling hydrocarbons and wastes.
|
Violations
are subject to reporting requirements, civil penalties and criminal
sanctions. As with the industry generally, compliance with existing
regulations increases our overall cost of business. The increased costs
cannot be easily determined. Such areas affected include:
●
|
|
unit production expenses primarily related to the control and limitation of air emissions and the disposal of produced water,
|
●
|
|
capital
costs to drill exploration and development wells resulting from
expenses primarily related to the management and disposal of drilling
fluids and other oil and natural gas exploration wastes, and
|
●
|
|
capital
costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities and
remediate, plug and abandon inactive well sites and pits.

Table of Contents
Environmental
regulations historically have been subject to frequent change by
regulatory authorities. Therefore, we are unable to predict the ongoing
cost of compliance with these laws and regulations or the future impact
of such regulations on our operations. However, we do not believe that
changes to these regulations will have a significant negative effect on
our operations.
A
discharge of hydrocarbons or hazardous substances into the environment
could subject us to substantial expense, including both the cost to
comply with applicable regulations pertaining to the cleanup of releases
of hazardous substances into the environment and claims by neighboring
landowners and other third parties for personal injury and property
damage. We do not maintain insurance for protection against certain
types of environmental liabilities.
The
Clean Air Act requires or will require most industrial operations in
the United States to incur capital expenditures in order to meet air
emission control standards developed by the EPA and state environmental
agencies. Although no assurances can be given, we believe the Clean Air
Act requirements will not have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition or results of operations.
RCRA
is the principal federal statute governing the treatment, storage and
disposal of hazardous wastes. RCRA imposes stringent operating
requirements, and liability for failure to meet such requirements, on a
person who is either:
●
|
|
a "generator" or "transporter" of hazardous waste, or
|
●
|
|
an "owner" or "operator" of a hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facility.
|
At
present, RCRA includes a statutory exemption that allows oil and
natural gas exploration and production wastes to be classified as
non-hazardous waste. As a result, we will not be subject to many of
RCRA's requirements because our operations will probably generate
minimal quantities of hazardous wastes.
CERCLA,
also known as "Superfund," imposes liability, without regard to fault
or the legality of the original act, on certain classes of persons that
contributed to the release of a "hazardous substance" into the
environment. These persons include:
●
|
|
the "owner" or "operator" of the site where hazardous substances have been released, and
|
●
|
|
companies that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances found at the site.
|
CERCLA
also authorizes the EPA and, in some instances, third parties to act in
response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek
to recover from the responsible classes of persons the costs they
incur. In the course of our ordinary operations, we could generate waste
that may fall within CERCLA's definition of a "hazardous substance." As
a result, we may be liable under CERCLA or under analogous state laws
for all or part of the costs required to clean up sites at which such
wastes have been disposed.
Under such law we could be required to:
●
|
|
remove or remediate previously disposed wastes, including wastes disposed of or released by prior owners or operators,
|
●
|
|
clean up contaminated property, including contaminated groundwater, or
|
●
|
|
perform remedial plugging operations to prevent future contamination.
|
We could also be subject to other damage claims by governmental authorities or third parties related to such contamination.
-15-
Table of Contents
We
believe that we are in compliance with all regulations, but it is
possible that we are subject to an unknown regulation, and that this
might have a material impact on our operations.
Market for oil and gas production
The
market for oil and gas production is regulated by both the state and
federal governments. The overall market is mature and with the exception
of gas, all producers in a producing region will receive the same
price. The major oil companies will purchase all crude oil offered for
sale at posted field prices. There are price adjustments for quality
differences from the Benchmark. Benchmark is Saudi Arabian light crude
oil employed as the standard on which OPEC price changes have been
based. Quality variances from Benchmark crude results in lower prices
being paid for the variant oil. Oil sales are normally contracted with a
purchaser or gatherer as it is known in the industry who will pick up
the oil at the well site. In some instances there may be deductions for
transportation from the well head to the sales point. At this time the
majority of crude oil purchasers do not charge transportation fees
unless the well is outside their service area. The service area is a
geographical area in which the purchaser of crude oil will not charge a
fee for picking upon the oil. The purchaser or oil gatherer as it is
called within the oil industry, will usually handle all check
disbursements to both the working interest and royalty owners. Royalty
owners and overriding royalty owners often receive a percentage of gross
oil production for the particular lease and are not obligated in any
manner whatsoever to pay for the costs of operating the lease.
Kentucky Oil and Gas Region
In
2011 the Kentucky Geological survey reported 24,364 oil wells in
production in Kentucky which produced 790 million barrels of oil form 61
counties. The leading production zones are in Cambrian to Pennsylvanian
rocks from more than 1,500 pools; oil is produced from Missippian
limestones and sandstone in Eastern and Western Kentucky. Our plan is to
acquire properties and oil interests where we believe that are
underexplored, or wells that we believe that modern enhanced recovery
techniques could initiate or improve oil production.
Oil Leases and Wells
The
Company acquired during the quarter ending September 30, 2014 ownership
interests of certain oil wells, leases and working interests in the
counties of Cumberland (KY), Monroe (KY), Overton (TN) and Clinton (KY).
This totaled reportedly 113 wells, (our 8k filing is incorporated by
reference and an exhibit to this report). We currently have interests in
96 wells with a gross acreage of 4,302 acres.
Reserves
As of the end of the 2013 fiscal year, the Company had no proven
reserves.
Delivery Commitments
As of September 30, 2016, we had no delivery commitments for oil or
natural gas under existing contracts or agreements.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 and 2015
Revenues
We
have generated revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2016
of $296,580. In the three months ending in September 30, 2015 we
reported revenues of $2,126.
Operating Expenses
We
reported operating expenses in the amount of $908,079 for the three
months ending in September 30, 2016, compared to operating expenses of
$369,053 for the three months ended September 30, 2015.
Net Income (Loss)
As
a result of the above, for the three months ended September 30, 2016,
we reported a net income loss of $533,682. For the three months ended
September 30, 2015, we reported a net loss of $5,5291,119.
-16-
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4088, compared to $0 at September 30, 2015.
Our
present capital resources are insufficient to commence and sustain all
planned acquisition, development and exploration activity. The company
elected to re-focus its mining division on exploration in its existing
areas of focus to determine acquisitions of more advanced properties,
and retain its Skip claims for initial exploration. We estimate that for
the next twelve months our mining division will require up to $100,000
in working capital for these plans. For our energy division we estimate
that our oil field services division will require up to $200,000 in
working capital, and our oil and gas operations require a minimum of
$200,000 up to $400,000 for our activities which are geared to steadily
establishing and increasing production from existing wells.
Additionally, we estimate a need of $250,000 to complete the acquisition
of Enterprise Partners, LLC.
In
addition to any expenditures related to any exploration activity, our
business plan provides for spending of approximately $20,000 in ongoing
general and administrative expenses per month for the next twelve
months, for a total anticipated expenditure for general and
administrative expenses of $240,000 over the next twelve months. The
general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily
of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to our
regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees
and general office expenses. Management compensation is forecast at
approximately $144,000 for the next 12 months.
We
have only recently generated our first revenue and while we are
planning to increase our revenue quarterly there is no assurance we will
be successful in doing so, or that any such revenue would be sufficient
to meet our working capital needs.
-17-
Table of Contents
Accordingly,
we must obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of
operations during and beyond the next twelve months, which would include
being able to sustain any exploration, development and production
activity. We believe that traditional debt financing may not be an
alternative for funding additional phases of exploration, development or
production activities in the current lending environment, but over time
if we are successful in our business plan revenue increases may improve
our borrowing capability. We anticipate that additional funding will be
in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock and
the issuance of convertible notes. We cannot provide investors with any
assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale
of our common stock to fund our implement our current business plan, or
any acquisition of additional property interests. Any issuance of
common stock would dilute the interests of our existing stockholders. In
the absence of such financing, we will not be able to pursue our
business plan and may not be able to maintain our property interests in
good standing. If we are unable to raise additional capital in the near
future, we will experience liquidity problems and we would need to
curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less
favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures.
We
may consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the
required funding to explore and develop the properties underlying our
interests. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture
participant. Even if we determine to pursue a joint venture participant,
there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint
venture agreement with us in order to fund exploration of the properties
underlying our mineral property interests. If we enter into a joint
venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our
interest in property interests to the joint venture participant. The
company has been dependent on convertible note financing which can be
highly dilutive to existing shareholders, and there is no assurance the
company can continue to receive such financing.
Commitments
Cash Payments and Exploration Expenditures
Our
plans to make cash payments for expenses and liabilities, and incur
exploration and development expenditures in connection with our mining
and energy divisions are described above in Part II of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q. We are required to make certain payments as
required by regulation for permitting and remediation efforts that at
present cannot be quantified for future quarters.. We describe in Part
II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the expenditures forecast for
the fourth quarter, which include expenditures required to maintain the
assets acquired.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We
do not have any off-balance sheet debt nor did we have any
transactions, arrangements, obligations (including contingent
obligations) or other relationships with any unconsolidated entities or
other persons that may have material current or future effects on
financial conditions, changes in the financial conditions, results of
operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or
significant components of revenue or expenses.
Going Concern
The
continuity of our future operations is dependent on our ability to
obtain financing and upon future acquisition, exploration and
development of profitable operations from our mineral properties. These
conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a
going concern.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our
interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with GAAP. For a full discussion of our accounting policies
as required by GAAP, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2013. We consider certain accounting policies to
be critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial
statements because their application requires significant judgment and
reliance on estimations of matters that are inherently uncertain. The
specific risks related to these critical accounting policies are
unchanged at the date of this report and are described in detail in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The
Company during the quarter began a second operating division which will
operate in the energy field, the Company expects additional critical
accounting policies in relation to oil and gas production will be in
place during the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. The Company
has adopted "full cost" accounting for its oil and gas activities as
further described in notes to our financial statements, which include
cost ceiling test analysis and a revision to our asset retirement
obligation calculations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
