Plan of Operations: Management plans to conduct a two-phase exploration program (Phase I: $8,500; Phase II: $36,500) totaling $45,000, plus $16,000 in administrative costs. Total expected expenditures over the next 12 months are $61,000. No exploration work has commenced to date.
Financing Needs: The company requires immediate additional funding to meet obligations and fund exploration. It has no current arrangements for equity financing or loans. Failure to secure funding within 30-60 days could result in business failure.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Going Concern: Continued operations depend on raising capital; no assurance exists that funding will be available.
- Market Risk: While approved for quotation on the OTCBB, no trades have occurred, and no market is guaranteed.
- Internal Controls: Management identified material weaknesses, including a lack of an audit committee, lack of outside directors, inadequate segregation of duties, and insufficient written accounting policies.
- Related Party Transactions: The mineral option was acquired from the President/Director. The company owes $5,166 to a director and $19,333 to a shareholder (loan).
Investor Verification Checklist
- Cash Runway: Verify if the company has secured the $61,000 required for the next 12 months, given current cash of only $773.
- Debt Obligations: Confirm the terms and repayment status of the $19,333 demand loan and the $5,166 related party advance.
- Option Agreement: Review the terms of the option to purchase mineral claims from the President, specifically the $7,084 CAD expenditure requirement due by September 30, 2008.
- Internal Controls: Assess the timeline for appointing outside directors and establishing an audit committee to remediate material weaknesses.
- Stock Liquidity: Investigate the status of the OTCBB quotation and any recent trading activity.
