Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
November 30, 2022
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – GENERAL
Exploration-Stage Company
Since January 1, 2009, the Company has been classified as an “exploration stage” company for purposes of Item 1300 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Under Item 1300, companies engaged in significant mining operations are classified into three categories, referred to as “stages” - exploration, development, and production. Exploration stage includes all companies that do not have established reserves in accordance with Item 1300. Such companies are deemed to be “in the search for mineral deposits.” Notwithstanding the nature and extent of development-type or production-type activities that have been undertaken or completed, a company cannot be classified as a development or production stage company unless it has established reserves in accordance with Item 1300.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Texas Mineral Resources Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K, for the year ended August 31, 2022, dated November 29, 2022 as filed with the SEC. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the financial statements which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 as reported in our annual report on Form 10-K, have been omitted.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas Mineral Resources Corp and its proportionate interest in the assets, liabilities, and operations of Round Top Mountain Development Company, LLC (“RTMD”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit from inception through November 30, 2022, of approximately $ and has yet to achieve profitable operations, and projects further losses in the development of its business.
At
November 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital surplus of approximately $
In
accordance with our current projected budget, the Company does not have sufficient capital to fund its share of total cash calls
required under the RTMD agreement and expected general and administrative expenses during the fiscal year ending August 31, 2023.
Failure by the Company to make required cash calls to Round Top would result in significant dilution to its

NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-06, Debt – Debit with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. This ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current U.S. GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument and more convertible preferred stock as a single equity instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) calculation in certain areas. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, with early adoption permitted. Management does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 3 – JOINT VENTURE ARRANGEMENTS
The Company accounts for its interest in RTMD using the proportionate consolidation method, which is an exception available to entities in the extractive industries, thereby recognizing its pro-rata share of the assets, liabilities, and operations of RTMD in the appropriate classifications in the financial statements.

NOTE 5 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of shares of common stock, with a par value of $ per share, and preferred shares with a par value of $ per share.
All shares of common stock have equal voting rights and, when validly issued and outstanding, are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share in all matters to be voted upon by shareholders. Shares of common stock have no pre-emptive, subscription, conversion or redemption rights and may be issued only as fully paid and non-assessable shares. Holders of common stock are entitled to equal ratable rights to dividends and distributions with respect to the common stock, as may be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) out of funds legally available. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment or provision for all liabilities and any preferential liquidation rights of any preferred stock then outstanding.
In October 2022, we issued shares of common stock related to Director fees earned and expensed during the year ended August 31, 2022.
During the quarter ended November 30, 2022, the Company recognized stock compensation and a corresponding charge to additional paid-in capital in the amount of $ for director’s fees earned during the quarter. The Company issued the related shares of common stock in December 2022.
During the quarter ended November 30, 2022, the Company granted a total of stock options, with an exercise price of $ per share and a fair value of $ on the date of grant to a consultant. The fair value of the options was determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used to calculate the fair market value are as follows: (i) risk-free interest rate of % (ii) estimated volatility of % (iii) dividend yield of % and (iv) expected life of all options of years. The Company recognized the full $ as compensation expense during the three months ended November 30, 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Texas Mineral Resources Corp,” “the Company” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Texas Mineral Resources Corp. You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may also contain statistical data and estimates we obtained from industry publications and reports generated by third parties. Although we believe that the publications and reports are reliable, we have not independently verified their data.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the exhibits attached hereto contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, “forward-looking statements”). Such forward-looking statements concern our anticipated results and developments in our operations in future periods, planned exploration and development of our properties, plans related to our business and other matters that may occur in the future. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, “plans”, “estimates” or “intends”, or stating that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, include, but are not limited to:
| ● | the progress, potential and uncertainties of the rare-earth exploration plans at our Round Top project in Hudspeth County, Texas (the “Round Top Project” or “Round Top”); | |
| ● | timing for a completed feasibility study for the Round Top Project; | |
| ● | the success of getting the necessary permits for future Round Top drill programs and project development; | |
| ● | success of RTMD (as defined below) in developing the Round Top Project, including without limitation raising sufficient capital; | |
| ● | expectations regarding our ability to raise capital and to continue our exploration plans on our properties (either to fund our proportionate expenditures in the Round Top Project as a member of RTMD or otherwise); | |
| ● | plans regarding anticipated expenditures at the Round Top Project; and | |
| ● | plans to enter into a joint venture agreement with Santa Fe and our ability to fund such potential exploration and development project. |
Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual events or results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation:
| ● | risks associated with our ability to continue as a going concern in future periods; |
| ● | risks associated with our history of losses and need for additional financing; |
| ● | risks associated with our operating history; |
| ● | risks associated with owning a 20% interest in Round Top; |
| ● | risks associated with our properties; |
| ● | risks associated with the lack of history in producing metals from the Round Top Project; |
| ● | risks associated with our need for additional financing to maintain our ownership interest in, as well as the requirement in general for additional capital to further develop, the Round Top Project; |
| ● | risks associated with exploration activities not being commercially successful; |
| ● | risks associated with ownership of surface rights and other title issues with respect to the Round Top Project; |
| ● | risks associated with increased costs affecting our financial condition; |
| ● | risks associated with a shortage of equipment and supplies adversely affecting the ability to operate properties; |
| ● | risks associated with mining and mineral exploration being inherently dangerous; |
11
| ● | risks associated with mineralization estimates; |
| ● | risks associated with changes in mineralization estimates affecting the economic viability of the properties; |
| ● | risks associated with uninsured risks; |
| ● | risks associated with mineral operations being subject to market forces beyond our control; |
| ● | risks associated with fluctuations in commodity prices; |
| ● | risks associated with permitting, licenses and approval processes; |
| ● | risks associated with the governmental and environmental regulations; |
| ● | risks associated with future legislation regarding the mining industry and climate change; |
| ● | risks associated with potential environmental lawsuits; |
| ● | risks associated with land reclamation requirements; |
| ● | risks associated with rare earth and mining in general presenting potential health risks; |
| ● | risks related to competition in the mining and rare earth elements industries; |
| ● | risks related to economic conditions; |
| ● | risks related to our ability to manage growth; |
| ● | risks related to the potential difficulty of attracting and retaining qualified personnel; |
| ● | risks related to our dependence on key personnel; |
| ● | risks related to our United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filing history; and |
| ● | risks related to our securities. |
This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect the Company’s forward-looking statements. Some of the important risks and uncertainties that could affect forward-looking statements are described further under the section headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this Quarterly Report. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, the Company disclaims any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. We qualify all the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report by the foregoing cautionary statements.
In light of these risks and uncertainties, many of which are described in greater detail elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, there can be no assurance that the events predicted in forward-looking statements contained in the Quarterly Report will in fact transpire.
An investment in our Common Stock involves significant risks, including the risk of a loss of your entire investment. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described herein before purchasing our Common Stock. The risks set forth herein are not the only ones facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties may exist and others could arise that could also adversely affect our business, financial condition, operations and prospects. If any of the risks set forth herein actually materialize, our business, financial condition, prospects and operations would suffer. In such event, the value of our Common Stock would decline, and you could lose all or a substantial portion of your investment.
Going Concern
These financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit from inception through November 30, 2022, of approximately $40,320,000 and has yet to achieve profitable operations, and projects further losses in the development of its business.
12
At November 30, 2022, the Company had a working capital surplus of approximately $2,156,000, however the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due.
In accordance with our current projected budget, the Company does not have sufficient capital to fund its total cash calls and expected general and administrative expenses during the fiscal year ending August 31, 2023. Failure by the Company to make required cash calls to Round Top would result in significant dilution to its 20% ownership interest. Accordingly, the Company will be required to raise additional capital to fund its obligations during the fiscal year ending August 31, 2023 as well as during the quarter ending November 30, 2023. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise the necessary capital to fund its cash calls and expected general and administrative expenses. No cash calls were required in December 2022 and January 2023 and we have been notified by USARE that there will not be a cash call in February or March 2023. Based on these factors, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of these financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Overview
We are a mining company engaged in the business of the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. We currently own a 20% membership interest in RTMD, which entity holds two mineral property leases with the Texas General Land Office to explore and develop a 950-acre rare earths project located in Hudspeth County, Texas, known as the Round Top Project. The leases, originally signed with primary terms of approximately 19 and 18 years, each currently have remaining terms of approximately eight years and provisions for automatic renewal if Round Top is in production. RTMD also holds prospecting permits covering 9,345 acres adjacent to the Round Top Project. The strategy of RTMD is to develop a metallurgical process to concentrate or otherwise extract the metals from the Round Top Project’s rhyolite, conduct additional engineering, design, geotechnical work, and permitting necessary for a bankable feasibility study and then to extract mineral resources from the Round Top Project. The Round Top Project has not established as of the date hereof that any of the properties contain any probable mineral reserves or proven mineral reserves under Item 1300 of Regulation S-K.
Rare earth elements (“REE”) are a group of chemically similar elements that usually are found together in nature – they are referred to as the “lanthanide series.” These individual elements have a variety of characteristics that are critical in a wide range of technologies, products, and applications and are critical inputs in existing and emerging applications. Without these elements, multiple high-tech technologies would not be possible. These technologies include:
| ● | cell phones, | |
| ● | computer and television screens, | |
| ● | electric vehicles, | |
| ● | clean energy technologies, such as hybrid and electric vehicles and wind power turbines, | |
| ● | fiber optics, lasers and hard disk drives, | |
| ● | numerous defense applications, such as guidance and control systems and global positioning systems, | |
| ● | advanced water treatment technology for use in industrial, military and | |
| ● | outdoor recreation applications |
Because of these applications, global demand for REE is projected to steadily increase due to continuing growth in existing applications and increased innovation and development of new end uses. Interest in developing resources domestically has become a strategic necessity as there is limited production of these elements outside of China. Our ability to raise additional funds to continue to fund our participation interest in the Round Top Project may be impacted by future prices for REEs.
USA Rare Earth Agreement
In August 2018, the Company and Morzev Pty. Ltd. (“Morzev”) entered into an agreement (the “2018 Option Agreement”) whereby Morzev was granted the exclusive right to earn and acquire a 70% interest in the Company’s Round Top Project by financing $10 million of expenditures in connection with the Project, increasable to an 80% interest for an additional $3 million payment to the Company. Morzev began operating as USA Rare Earth, LLC (“USARE”) and in May 2019 notified the Company that it was nominating USARE as the optionee under the terms of the 2018 Option Agreement. In August 2019, the Company and USARE entered into an amended and restated option agreement as further amended on June 29, 2020 (the “2019 Option Agreement” and collectively with the 2018 Option Agreement, the “Option Agreement”), whereby the Company restated its agreement to grant USARE the exclusive right to earn and acquire a 70% interest, increasable to an 80% interest, in the Round Top Project. The 2019 Option Agreement has substantially similar terms to the 2018 Option Agreement:
On May 17, 2021, and in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement, the Company and USARE entered into a contribution agreement (“Contribution Agreement”) whereby the Company and USARE contributed assets to Round Top Mountain Development (“RTMD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in exchange for their ownership interests in RTMD, of which the Company now owns membership interests equating to 20% of RTMD and USARE owns membership interests equating to 80% of RTMD. Concurrently therewith, the Company and USARE as the two members entered into a limited liability company agreement (“Operating Agreement”) governing the operations of RTMD which contains customary and industry standard terms as contemplated by the Option Agreement. USARE will serve as manager of RTMD and Mr. Gorski, on behalf of the Company, will serve as one of the three members of the management committee.

In connection with USARE meeting its obligations to acquire a 70% interest in the Round Top Project and exercising its right to an additional 10% interest, the Company received total consideration of approximately $3,728,000, consisting of the $3 million upon exercise of the option and approximately $728,000 in previous advances to the Company by USARE, and derecognized 80% of the carrying amount of mineral properties, or approximately $402,000. The resulting gain on sale of interest in mineral properties in the amount of approximately $3,326,000 was recognized during the quarter ended May 31, 2021.
Upon entry into the Contribution Agreement, the Company assigned the following contracts and assets to RTMD in exchange for its 20% membership interest in RTMD:
| ● | the assignment and assumption agreement with respect to the mineral leases from the Company to RTMD; | |
| ● | the assignment and assumption agreement with respect to the surface lease from the Company to RTMD; | |
| ● | the assignment and assumption agreement with respect to the surface purchase option from the Company to RTMD; | |
| ● | the assignment and assumption agreement with respect to the water lease from the Company to RTMD; and | |
| ● | the bill of sale and assignment agreement of existing data with respect to RTMD owned by the Company. |
and USARE assigned the following assets to RTMD (or the Company, as applicable) for its 80% membership interest in RTMD:
| ● | cash to RTMD to continue to fund Round Top Project operations in the amount of approximately $3,761,750 comprising the balance of the $10 million required expenditure to earn a 70% interest in RTMD; | |
| ● | cash in the amount of $3 million to the Company upon exercise of the USARE option to acquire from the Company an additional 10% interest in RTMD, resulting in the aggregate ownership interest of 80% in RTMD; | |
| ● | bill of sale and assignment agreement of the Pilot Plant to RTMD; | |
| ● | the assignment and assumption regarding relevant contracts and permits with respect to RTMD; and | |
| ● | bill of sale and assignment agreement of existing data and intellectual property owned by USARE to RTMD. |
The Company accounts for its interest in RTMD using the proportionate consolidation method, which is an exception available to entities in the extractive industries, thereby recognizing its pro-rate share of the assets, liabilities, and operations of RTMD in the appropriate classifications in the financial statements.
Santa Fe Project
In November 2021, the Company entered into a mineral exploration and option agreement with Santa Fe Gold Corporation (“Santa Fe”). Under the option agreement, the Company and Santa Fe plan to pursue, negotiate and subsequently enter into a joint venture agreement to jointly explore and develop a target silver property to be selected by the Company among patented and unpatented mining claims held by Santa Fe within the Black Hawk Mining District in Grant County, New Mexico. Completion of a joint venture agreement, if any, is subject to the successful outcome of a multi-phase exploration plan leading to a bankable feasibility study to be undertaken in the near future by the Company. Under the contemplated terms of the proposed joint venture agreement, the Company would be project operator and initially own 50.5% of the joint venture while Santa Fe would initially own 49.5%. Additional terms of the joint venture are expected to be negotiated between the Company and Santa Fe in the future.
Under the terms of the option agreement, the Company plans to conduct a district-wide evaluation among the patented and unpatented claims held by Santa Fe, consisting of geologic mapping, sampling, trenching, radiometric surveying, geophysics, drilling and/or other methods as warranted. Based on the district-wide evaluation, the Company will designate one 80-acre tract as the “project area” and commence detailed exploration work. The property covered in the option agreement is approximately 1,300 acres and covers approximately 75% of the known mining district. The area to be studied also includes a two-mile radius “area of interest.” The option agreement provides the Company with the right to designate any properties within the “area of interest” as “project area” properties. The term of the option is for so long as the Company continues to conduct exploration activities in the Project Area and can be exercised on 60 days’ notice to Santa Fe.
Additionally, in November 2021, the Company entered into a financing and purchase option agreement with Greentech Minerals Holdings, Inc. (“Greentech”); however, Greentech determined not to pursue this financing option. The Company is currently pursuing other financing sources.
There can be no assurance any joint venture agreement or financing agreement will be consummated or that this project will materialize.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At November 30, 2022, our accumulated deficit was approximately $40,320,000 and our cash position was approximately $1,844,000. We had a working capital surplus of approximately $2,156,000. Round Top has not commenced commercial production on the Round Top Project. We have no revenues from operations and anticipate we will have no operating revenues until we place one or more of our properties into production. All properties are in the exploration stage.
During the fiscal year ending August 31, 2022 and the quarter ended November 30, 2022, we funded approximately $1,937,000 and $386,000, respectively, to Round Top pursuant to our funding obligations set forth in the Operating Agreement. USARE funded approximately $8,402,000 and $1,545,600, respectively, in connection with advancing the Round Top Project.
During the current fiscal year, Round Top is expected to fund the expenditure of approximately $77.1 million to optimize the leaching and developing of the CIX/CIC processing of the Round Top Project. Initial process design work will be carried out at USARE’s facility in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Pending completion of the initial process development, this facility will either be relocated to or replicated at the Round Top Project where a pilot plant is expected to be established. This work will consist of mining and crushing approximately 40,000 tonnes of rhyolite and setting up and equipping a facility to conduct pilot plant scale heap leaching. It is estimated that the Round Top Project will require additional time and further expenditure to complete a bankable feasibility study. Our funding requirement is planned to be approximately $15.4 million of the expected expenditures by Round Top during our current fiscal year, of which we funded approximately $386,000 during the quarter ended November 2022. No cash calls were required in December 2022 and January 2023 and we have been notified by USARE that there will not be a cash call in February or March 2023.
We do not have sufficient cash on hand to fund our portion of the Round Top Budget during our current fiscal year. Therefore, we will need to raise additional funding to implement our business strategy and to continue to fund our portion of the Round Top Budget, the failure of which would result in dilution of our ownership interest in RTMD (which could be significant) and could further cause us to curtail or cease our operations. The most likely source of future financing presently available to us is through the sale of our securities. Any sale of our shares of Common Stock will result in dilution of equity ownership to existing stockholders. This means that if we sell shares of Common Stock, more shares will be outstanding and each existing stockholder will own a smaller percentage of the shares then outstanding. Alternatively, we may rely on debt financing and assume debt obligations that require us to make substantial interest and capital payments. Also, we may issue or grant warrants or options in the future pursuant to which additional shares of Common Stock may be issued. Exercise of such warrants or options will result in dilution of equity ownership to our existing stockholders. We have no firm commitment with respect to obtaining debt or equity financing and, accordingly, we will be reliant upon a best efforts financing strategy. Accordingly, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise necessary capital to fund our portion of the Round Top Budget and our general administrative expenses during the fiscal year ending August 31, 2023.
Results of Operations
Three months ended November 30, 2022 and November 30, 2021
Grant Income
Grants received from government and other agencies in advance of a specific project’s expenses are deferred and recognized as other income in the statements of operations in the period they are earned and the related project costs are incurred. For the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized approximately $0 and $374,600, respectively, of grant income which is presented in other income net of grant related expenses totaling approximately $0 and $304,000, respectively.
Revenue
We had no operating revenues during the three months ended November 30, 2022 and November 30, 2021. We are not currently profitable. As a result of ongoing operating losses, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $40,320,000 as of November 30, 2022.
Operating expenses and resulting losses from Operations.
We incurred exploration costs for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and November 30, 2021, in the amount of approximately $231,000 and $71,000, respectively. Expenditures during the three months 2022 and 2021 were primarily for our cash calls to Round Top Development, LLC and for project contractor expenses.
Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively, were approximately $342,000 and $340,000, respectively. For the three months ended November 30, 2022 and 2021, this amount included approximately $104,000 and $171,000, respectively, in stock-based compensation to directors and outside consultants. The remaining expenditures were primarily for payroll and related taxes and benefits, professional fees and other general and administrative expenses necessary for our operations.
15
For the three months ended November 30, 2022 and November 30, 2021, we earned approximately $5,400 and $1,600, respectively, in interest income from depository accounts.
We had losses from operations for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and November 30, 2021 totaling approximately $574,000 and $411,000, respectively.
We had net losses for the three months ended November 30, 2022 and November 30, 2021 totaling approximately $568,000 and $339,000, respectively.
Investment Company Act Exclusion
Section 3(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), provides that a company “substantially all of whose business consists of owning or holding oil, gas, or other mineral royalties or leases, or fractional interests therein, or certificates of interest or participation in or investment contracts relative to such royalties, leases, or fractional interests” is not an investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act. The Company has determined that this exemption applies to it giving consideration to the following four factors:
| ● | whether the exempted activity constitutes “substantially all” of our business; |
| ○ | The Company has owned mineral leases since 2010, all of our business to date has been comprised of owning and developing the mineral leases and, after the May 2021 “farm-down” of its 100% interest in the mineral leases, all of our business continues to be comprised of owning and holding a certificate of interest and a participation in the mineral leases owned by RTMD. The Company’s mineral assets historically, as well as the value of the certificate of interest at November 30, 2022, have been booked at cost in accordance with GAAP. We have an accumulated deficit of approximately $40.4 million at November 30, 2022 as a result of owning and developing the Round Top Project. |
| ● | whether we own or trade in the mineral leases; |
| ○ | The Company has owned the mineral leases, which are now owned by RTMD, since 2010 and neither the Company nor RTMD is in the business of dealing or trading in the mineral leases. |
| ● | what qualifies as an eligible asset for purposes of the exception; and |
| ○ | The statute specifically references mineral leases and our mineral leases were owned by the Company and are now owned by RTMD. In accordance with Regulation S-K Item 1300 that governs disclosure by registrants engaged in mining operations, the definition of mineral resource is “a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust.” Our rare earth elements and minerals underlying the mineral leases meet that definition, as well as does coal, silver, gold and other material mined for economic value by registrants involved in mining operations. The SEC staff has recognized that an excepted entity can also engage in related business activities such as exploring, developing, and operating the eligible assets. |
| ● | what qualifies as a “certificate of interest or participation in” or an “investment contract relative to” the eligible assets. |
| ○ | The statute allows a Company to own a “certificate of interest” or “participation in” the mineral leases. The SEC staff has advised that limited partnership interests and/or similar securities issued by entities that themselves own the leases constitute “certificate of interest or participation in or investment contracts” related to such leases. The Company’s 20% membership interest in RTMD constitutes a “certificate of interest” and a “participation in” the mineral leases that are owned by RTMD. |
The Company intends to continue to conduct its business operations in order to continue to be excluded from the definition of an “investment company” under the 1940 Act.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Preparation of financial statements requires management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies. Management bases its estimates on various assumptions and historical experience, which are believed to be reasonable; however, due to the inherent nature of estimates, actual results may differ significantly due to changed conditions or assumptions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Management believes that the following critical accounting estimates and judgments have a significant impact on our financial statements; Valuation of options granted to directors, officers and consultants using the Black-Scholes model.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, and in light of the material weakness existing in our internal controls over financial reporting as of August 31, 2022 (as described in greater detail in our annual report on From 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2022), the CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in providing reasonable assurance that: (i) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following updates our risk disclosures set forth in our Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on November 29, 2022.
There is no assurance that we will be able to enter into a joint venture agreement with Santa Fe, or if we do, that such joint venture arrangement will result in any successful exploration or development prospects.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Except as set forth below, all unregistered sales of equity securities during the period covered by this Quarterly Report were previously disclosed in our current reports on Form 8-K or quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
| Date | Description | Number | Purchaser | Proceeds
($) |
Consideration | Exemption (C) |

| September – November 2022 | Common Stock Options | 30,000 | Consultant | $Nil | Services | Sec. 4(a)(2) |
With respect to sales designated by “Sec. 4(a)(2),” these shares were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as privately negotiated, isolated, non-recurring transactions not involving any public offer or solicitation. Each purchaser represented that such purchaser’s intention to acquire the shares for investment only and not with a view toward distribution. None of the securities were sold through an underwriter and accordingly, there were no underwriting discounts or commissions involved.
We did not repurchase any of our securities during the quarter covered by this report.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (The “Dodd-Frank Act”), issuers that are operators, or that have a subsidiary that is an operator, of a coal or other mine in the United States are required to disclose in their periodic reports filed with the SEC information regarding specified health and safety violations, orders and citations, related assessments and legal actions, and mining-related fatalities. During the quarter ended November 30, 2022, our U.S. exploration properties were not subject to regulation by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977.
