NEVADA CANYON GOLD CORP.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
Nevada
Canyon Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of
Going Concern
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in the business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties and royalty interests and has not generated or realized any revenues from these business operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company’s management has assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s assessment is based on various factors, including historical and projected financial performance, liquidity, and other relevant circumstances. As of the date of these condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company has sufficient cash including escrowed cash to meet its working capital requirements and fund its exploration programs and general day-to-day operations for at least the next 12 months. This assessment takes into account the Company’s current cash balances as a result of the sale of the Company’s common shares under offering statement on Form 1-A (the “Offering”), and expected future cash inflows from the Offering and future financing the management is planning to undertake.
While the Company believes it has the financial resources to continue its operations for the next 12 months, it is important to note that there are inherent uncertainties in projecting future cash flows, and there can be no assurance that these projections will be realized. The Company continues to closely monitor its financial position, market conditions, and other factors that may impact its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s assessment is based on the information available as of the date of this report. If unforeseen events, adverse market conditions, or other factors negatively affect the Company’s financial position in the future, there may be a need to adjust the going concern assessment. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. In the event that the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern becomes doubtful, adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, as well as additional disclosures, would be necessary.
In prior reporting periods, the Company concluded that substantial doubt regarding its ability to continue as a going concern existed. The cash received from sale of its common stock in the three month period ended September 30, 2023 (Note 7), alleviated the substantial doubt.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K, as amended. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.
| 7 |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding unvested portion of restricted stock. Shares that have been distributed but not yet vested and thus excluded from the weighted average shares calculation, were and at September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively (Note 7).
The Company’s diluted EPS is calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Restricted stock with performance conditions is only included in the diluted EPS calculation to the extent that performance conditions have been met at the measurement date. Dilutive effect of the restricted stock is determined using the treasury stock method.
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Amounts due to related parties at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of Part I of this report include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, the “Reform Act”). The Reform Act provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long as they identify these statements as forward-looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results. All statements, other than statements of historical fact that we make in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “will continue,” “estimates,” “plans,” “projects,” the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean the statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties or other factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. Certain risks, uncertainties or other important factors are detailed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and may be detailed from time to time in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including on Forms 8-K and 10-K.
Examples of forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our ability to generate operating cash flows and to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our future products, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include:
| ● | management’s plans, objectives and budgets for its future operations and future economic performance; | |
| ● | capital budget and future capital requirements; | |
| ● | meeting future capital needs; | |
| ● | our dependence on management and the need to recruit additional personnel; | |
| ● | limited trading for our common stock; | |
| ● | the level of future expenditures; | |
| ● | impact of recent accounting pronouncements; | |
| ● | the outcome of regulatory and litigation matters; and | |
| ● | the assumptions described in this report underlying such forward-looking statements. |
Actual results and developments may materially differ from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements due to a number of factors, including:
| ● | those described in the context of such forward-looking statements; | |
| ● | future product development and marketing costs; | |
| ● | the markets of our domestic operations; | |
| ● | the impact of competitive products and pricing; | |
| ● | the political, social and economic climate in which we conduct operations; and | |
| ● | the risk factors described in other documents and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Offering Statement Pursuant to Regulation A (SEC File No. 000-55600). |
We operate in an extremely competitive environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and is provided as a supplement to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “Company,” “the Company,” “us,” and “our” refer to Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Nevada Canyon LLC and Canyon Carbon LLC, incorporated in Nevada, unless the context requires otherwise.
We intend the following discussion to assist in the understanding of our financial position and our results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. You should refer to the Financial Statements and related Notes in conjunction with this discussion.
General
We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on February 27, 2014. On December 15, 2021, we incorporated two subsidiaries, Nevada Canyon LLC and Canyon Carbon LLC. Both subsidiaries were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada.
We are a US-based natural resource company headquartered in Reno, Nevada. The Company has a large, strategic land position and royalties, in multiple projects, within some of Nevada’s highest-grade historical mining districts. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q our mineral property interests are comprised of the Lazy Claims Property, the Loman Property, and the Agai-Pah Property located in Mineral County, Nevada, the Swales Property located in Elko County, Nevada, and the Belshazzar Property located in Quartzburg mining district, Boise County, Idaho. In addition, we acquired a 2% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) on the Palmetto Project, located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, and have an option to acquire 100% interest of Target Minerals, Inc’s (“Target”) 1% production royalty on the Olinghouse Project, located in the Olinghouse Mining District, Washoe County, Nevada.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are presented in US dollars. GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, together with notes thereto, which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our most recent audited consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Revenues
We had no revenues for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Due to the exploration rather than the production nature of our business, we do not expect to have significant operating revenue in the foreseeable future.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 included general and administrative, exploration, professional fees, director and officer compensation, consulting fees, and transfer agent and filing fees.
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, our operating expenses increased by $301,550 or 83%, to $663,100 as compared to $361,550 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This change was associated with $424,150 in director and officer compensation we recorded on the shares that we distributed to our three directors on December 30, 2021, and with the vesting of share awards we granted to our VP of Operations on February 24, 2023. During comparative three-month period ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $316,862 in director and officer compensation. Our consulting fees increased by $116,542, from $4,500 we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, to $121,042 we incurred during the current period ended September 30, 2023, and which were associated with the vesting of shares we awarded to our consultants in March 2023; our general and administrative expenses increased by $65,685, from $4,237 we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, to $69,922 we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2023. This increase was associated with the investor outreach program we started in the second quarter of our Fiscal 2023. Our professional fees increased by $10,536, from $13,258 we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, to $23,794 we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2023. The professional fees increased as a result of a consulting agreement with Warm Springs Consulting LLC. (“Warm Springs”) to develop registry-verified carbon credits for voluntary and compliance markets in the State of Nevada and the Western United States. Our transfer agent and filing fees increased by $1,234, from $1,935 we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022, to $3,169 we incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2023.
On a year-to-date basis, our operating expenses increased by $908,234 or 111%, to $1,726,574 as compared to $818,340 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. This change was associated with $1,147,656 in director and officer compensation we recorded on the shares that we distributed to our three directors on December 30, 2021, and with the vesting of share awards we granted to our VP of Operations on February 24, 2023. During comparative nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $675,053 in director and officer compensation. Our consulting fees increased by $274,309, from $26,226 we incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, to $300,535 we incurred during the current period ended September 30, 2023, and which were associated with the vesting of shares we awarded to our consultants in March 2023 for their services; our general and administrative expenses increased by $129,976, from $14,978 we incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, to $144,954 we incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. This increase was associated with the investor outreach program we started in the second quarter of our Fiscal 2023. Our professional fees increased by $30,524, from $69,590 we incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, to $100,114 we incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. The professional fees increased as a result of the consulting agreement with Warm Springs to develop registry-verified carbon credits for voluntary and compliance markets in the State of Nevada and the Western United States.

Other Income (Expenses)
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $20,206 loss on fair value of investments in equity securities (2022 – $40,737). The loss resulted from revaluation of Walker River Resources Corp. (“WRR”) Shares and was caused mainly by decreased market price of WRR’s Shares from CAD$0.16 per share at June 30, 2023, to CAD$0.11 per share at September 30, 2023, and to a smaller degree from fluctuation of exchange rates between the US and Canadian dollars. In addition, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, we earned $8,082 in interest revenue (2022 - $4,397).
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $115,168 loss on fair value of investments in equity securities (2022 – $163,113 gain). The loss resulted from revaluation of WRR Shares and was caused mainly by decreased market price of WRR’s Shares from CAD$0.415 per share at December 31, 2022, to CAD$0.11 per share at September 30, 2023, and to a smaller degree from fluctuation of exchange rates between the US and Canadian dollars. In addition, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, we earned $21,895 in interest revenue (2022 - $5,285).
During the comparative three-month period ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $396,143 amortization of debt discount associated with the beneficial conversion we recognized on the convertible notes payable we issued in October of 2021. We did not have similar transactions during the three-month period ended September 30, 2023.
During the comparative nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $211,530 gain on equity investments which was associated with the sale of 1,171,083 WRR Shares for net proceeds of $614,658. In addition, we recorded $697,535 amortization of debt discount associated with the beneficial conversion we recognized on the convertible notes payable we issued in October of 2021. We did not have similar transactions during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.
Net Loss
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred net loss of $675,228, as compared to net loss of $795,671 we generated during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022. This change mainly resulted from the absence of amortization of debt discount for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $396,143 loss for the comparative period, as we converted October 2021 notes payable during the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition our loss on revaluation of fair value of investments in equity securities was reduced as a result of smaller price fluctuations of WRR Shares during the three-month period ended September 30, 2023.
These decreases were in part offset by increased director and officer compensation of $424,150, which increased from $316,862 for the period ended September 30, 2022, an increase in consulting fees from $4,500 for the period ended September 30, 2022, to $121,042 for the period ended September 30, 2023, and an increase in professional fees from $13,258 for the period ended September 30, 2022, to $23,794 for the period ended September 30, 2023.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred net loss of $1,819,847, as compared to net loss of $1,138,552 we generated during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. This change was mainly affected by increased director and officer compensation of $1,147,656, which increased from $675,053 for the period ended September 30, 2022, an increased consulting fees $300,535 for the period ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $26,226 for the period ended September 30, 2022, and increased professional fees of $100,114 for the period ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $69,590 for the period ended September 30, 2022. In addition, reduction in the price of WRR Shares resulted in fair value loss of $115,168, as compared to $163,113 gain we recorded during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022. These increases were offset by absence of amortization of debt discount for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $697,535 amortization of discount in the comparative period; increased interest income of $21,895 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $5,285 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, and absence of interest expense during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $1,623 the Company incurred for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022.

As of September 30, 2023, we had a cash balance of $9,983,169, of which $5,301,782 were held in escrow pending issuance of shares pursuant to the offering of up to 12,500,000 units (the “Units”) of our securities pursuant to Regulation A we filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in September of 2022 (the “Offering”). Our working capital was $9,183,791 and cash flows used in operations totaled $605,703 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our operations were funded with cash on hand, which was generated by selling our investment in WRR Shares during the year ended December 31, 2022, and from the issuance of convertible notes payable in October 2021.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we issued 5,537,260 Units under the Offering, for net cash proceeds of $4,247,572, and had an obligation to issue a further 6,962,084 Units, for net cash proceeds of $5,301,782, which were held in escrow.
Due to the exploration rather than the production nature of our business, our operating activities do not generate cash flows, and cannot satisfy our cash requirements. However, we believe that the cash we were able to generate from the Offering will allow us to support our operations including our planned exploration programs and the general day-to-day business activities for the next 12-month period. We will continue to look for the opportunities to generate additional cash through future equity or debt financings.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we used $284,801 to cover our cash operating costs, which were determined by reducing the net loss of $1,819,847 the Company incurred during the period, by non-cash items included in the net loss of $1,535,046; we used $291,651 to increase our prepaid expenses, of which $280,978 were associated with prepaid advertising and investor relation costs; we used further $17,031 to reduce amounts due to our related parties and $12,220 used to decrease our accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $115,168 loss on revaluation of fair value of our investments in WRR Shares. In addition, we recognized $739,322 in director and officer compensation associated with the par-value shares we distributed to our directors and CEO on December 30, 2021, $408,333 and $272,223 we recorded on vesting of shares awarded to our VP of Operations and to our consultants, respectively, in accordance with the consulting agreements we executed in February of 2023.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $163,113 gain on revaluation of fair value of equity investments associated with WRR Shares and recorded $211,530 gain on sale of 1,171,083 WRR Shares for net proceeds of $614,658 (CAD$769,400). In addition, we recognized $982 loss on foreign exchange fluctuations associated with cash we held in high-interest savings account at a major Canadian bank, recorded $697,535 in amortization of debt discount associated with the convertible notes payable we issued in September and October 2021. In addition, we recorded $675,053 in stock-based compensation associated with the par-value shares we issued to our directors on December 30, 2021.
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, we used $60,000 to make option payments on our Swales Property, Agai-Pah Property, and Belshazzar Property.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, we generated $614,658 on the sale of 1,171,083 WRR Shares. During the same period, we used $410,000 to acquire our mineral property interests.
Net cash provided by financing activities
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, we received $4,429,808 on issuance of a total of 5,537,260 Units of our common stock at $0.80 per Unit pursuant to our Offering of up to 12,500,000 Units of our securities pursuant to Regulation A we filed with the SEC on June 17, 2022, and which was qualified on September 27, 2022. Each Unit is comprised of one common share (a “Common Share”), and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”) to purchase one additional common share (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $1.20 per Warrant Share, expiring 24 months from the issuance date. We paid $182,236 in share issuance costs associated with the issuance of the Units. In addition, a further $5,569,667 in subscriptions to the Units were received under the same Regulation A Offering through September 27, 2023, termination date of the Regulation A Offering, and were placed in Escrow waiting the release. We paid $176,885 in deferred share issuance costs associated with the obligation to issue the Units.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, we issued 1,250 shares for total proceeds to the Company of $1,500 on exercise of a warrant issued as part of the Offering.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, we received $400 from the sale of 4,000,000 par-value shares to two of our directors, which shares were considered sold on December 30, 2021, however, we received cash payment from the directors subsequent to December 31, 2021.
Going Concern
At September 30, 2023, we had a working capital surplus of $9,183,791 cash on hand of $4,681,387 and cash in escrow of $5,301,782, which is sufficient enough to support our current plan of operations including exploration programs for the next 12-month period. Our investments in equity securities include 511,750 WRR Shares valued at $41,637. Prior to receiving the funds from the Offering, we were using WRR Shares as a source of additional cash inflow.
To support our operations beyond the 12-month period, we are planning to continue actively pursuing other means of financing our operations including equity and/or debt financing. However, given the current market and industry conditions, we cannot be sure that we will be able to procure additional funding. If operating difficulties or other factors (many of which are beyond our control) delay our realization of revenues or cash flows from operations, we may be limited in our ability to pursue our business plan. Moreover, if our resources from obtaining additional capital or cash flows from operations, once we commence them, do not satisfy our operational needs or if unexpected expenses arise due to unanticipated pressures or if we decide to expand our business plan beyond its currently anticipated level or otherwise, we will require additional financing to fund our operations, in addition to anticipated cash generated from our operations. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. In a worst-case scenario, we might not be able to fund our operations or to remain in business, which could result in a total loss of our stockholders’ investment. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly issued securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders.

Impact of Inflation
We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past fiscal quarter.
Capital Expenditures
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we used $60,000 to make annual option payments on Swales Property, Agai-Pah Property, and Belshazzar Property, at $20,000 for each property.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we used $20,000 to make an initial cash payment to acquire Swales Property, $20,000 to make the first anniversary payment on Agai-Pah Property, and further $20,000 to make the first anniversary payment on Belshazzar Property. In addition, we made a $350,000 one-time cash payment to acquire 2% NSR on Palmetto Project.
Unproved Mineral Properties
As of the date of this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q, our mineral property interests are comprised of the Lazy Claims Property, the Loman Property, and the Agai-Pah Property located in Mineral County, Nevada, the Swales Property located in Elko County, Nevada, and the Belshazzar Property located in Quartzburg mining district, Boise County, Idaho. In addition, we acquired a 2% net smelter returns royalty on the Palmetto Project, located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, and have an option to acquire 100% interest of Target Minerals, Inc’s (“Target”) 1% production royalty on the Olinghouse Project, located in the Olinghouse Mining District, Washoe County, Nevada.
Lazy Claims Property
We acquired the Lazy Claims Property through an exploration lease agreement with Tarsis Resources US Inc. (“Tarsis”), a Nevada corporation, dated for reference August 2, 2017 (the “Lazy Claims Agreement”). The Lazy Claims Agreement grants us a right to conduct exploratory work for minerals on three Lazy Claims totaling 60 acres located in Mineral County, Nevada about 18 miles southeast of the town of Hawthorne (the “Lazy Claims”).
The term of the Lazy Claims Agreement is ten years and is subject to extension for an additional two consecutive 10-year terms. Full consideration for the Lazy Claims Agreement consists of the following: an initial cash payment of $1,000 to Tarsis, which we paid upon the execution of the Lazy Claims Agreement, with $2,000 payable to Tarsis on each subsequent anniversary of the effective date. We agreed to pay Tarsis a 2% production royalty (the “Lazy Claims Royalty”) based on the gross returns from the production and sale of minerals from the Lazy Claims Property. Should the Lazy Claims Royalty payments to Tarsis be in excess of $2,000 per year, we will not be required to pay a $2,000 annual minimum payment.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we paid $2,543 (2022 - $2,543) for our mineral property interests in Lazy Claims, of which $2,000 (2022 - $2,000) represented annual minimum payment required under the Lazy Claims Agreement and $543 (2022 - $543) was associated with the annual mining claim fees payable to the Bureau of Land Management (the “BLM”). These fees were recorded as part of our exploration expenses.
Loman Property
In December 2019 we acquired 27 unpatented mining claims for a total of $10,395 from a third-party (the “Loman Property”). The claims comprising Loman Property were transferred and re-registered into the Company’s name in the fiscal 2021. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we paid $4,791 (2022 - $4,791) in annual mining claim fees payable to the BLM. These fees were recorded as part of our exploration expenses.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we began Phase I exploration program on Loman Property. The Loman Property Phase I exploration program is designed to expand and provide confirmation of previous regional geological mapping and sampling programs by our geologists. The Loman Property covers several past producing small-scale high-grade mines, altered and mineralized zones previously discovered by geological compilations and mapping of historical workings. Previous sampling on the project has revealed the presence of copper, bismuth, and antimony as well as pervasive lower grade gold mineralization, cut by vein structures (some previously mined) of higher-grade gold. Previous Geophysical surveys also denoted the presence of significant coincident I.P. and Mag anomalies.
The initial Phase I exploration program is expected to last for three to four weeks. If the initial exploration program is successful in obtaining positive results, it will provide accurate modern data to assist in the planning of a Phase II follow up exploration programs.

A historical sample taken from exposed mineralized vein on an outcrop yielded over 600 Ag oz.
These initial Phase I exploration program is expected to last for three to four weeks. If the initial exploration programs are successful in obtaining positive results, these will provide accurate modern data to assist in the planning of a Phase II follow up exploration programs.
