PART I
 
ITEM 1.       BUSINESS
 
The Company’s Background.   MineralRite Corporation (the “Company” or “MineralRite,”) was incorporated in Nevada in October, 1996, under the name PSM Corp. The Company’s name was then changed to Royal Quantum Group, Inc. on November 23, 2005.  On August 31, 2012 the board of directors approved the change of the Company’s name to MineralRite Corporation, reflecting the new direction in which the Company’s management intends to lead it. On December 3, 2012, the Company’s trading symbol was changed from “RYQG” to “RITE.” The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 55 South Geneva Road, Lindon UT 84042, telephone: (801) 796-8944. Our website address is www.mineralrite.com.

The Company’s Existing and Planned Business Expansion.  MineralRite has focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas properties located within favorable geopolitical climates.

On March 1, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding stock of Goldfield International, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Goldfield”) in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and cash of $100,000 payable in three installments. The acquisition of Goldfield is the first step in the Company’s plan to enter into mineral processing and certification operations, using new management’s expertise and methods in mineral enhancement technologies to provide value-added services to the mining industry.  The Company will employ methods long known to and used by the industry, with certain differences in application and timing, which differences the Company believes are proprietary in nature.  The primary focus of the mineral extraction process in the natural resource sector is gold.  New management plans to utilize a proprietary technology for the extraction of precious metals from ore bodies, reclaimed mine tailings and high-value concentrate material. This process isolates and recovers precious minerals like gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rare earth oxides from raw ore.  The process involves taking carbon from customers, recycling and reactivating it while extracting gold and precious metals.  The carbon would be returned to the Company’s customers for reuse in precious metal recovery. The process does so without the use of traditional mineral leaching agents like arsenic and cyanide, highly toxic substances that can find their way into water supplies and pollute rivers and aquifers. Many gold mining and recovery groups rely on these hundred year old processes to separate gold from ores and waste rock with little regard for long term environmental damage. It is our intention to focus on environmentally conscious methods of recovery and refinement that leverage new technologies that may reduce the potential for environmental damage. This next step in the Company’s business plan will require, among other things, additional capital, additional facilities and additional personnel, none of which are immediately available to the Company. If the Company is not able to secure these things it will not be able to execute on the next step of its business plan.

The Company’s Competition in its Business. The oil and natural gas industry is intensely competitive, and the Company competes with other companies that have greater resources. Many of these companies not only explore for and produce oil and natural gas, but also carry on midstream and refining operations and market petroleum and other products on a regional, national or worldwide basis. These companies may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural gas properties and exploratory prospects or define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than the Company’s financial or human resources permit. In addition, these companies may have a greater ability to continue exploration activities during periods of low market prices for oil and natural gas. The Company’s larger or more-integrated competitors may be able to absorb the burden of existing, and any changes to, federal, state, local and tribal laws and regulations more easily than the Company can, which would adversely affect the Company’s competitive position. The Company’s ability to acquire additional properties and to discover reserves in the future will be dependent upon the Company’s ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive environment. In addition, because the Company has fewer financial and human resources than many companies in the industry, the Company may be at a disadvantage in bidding for exploratory prospects and producing oil and natural gas properties.
 
The Company encounters strong competition from a small number of manufacturers in the sales of its mining machinery products in both domestic and foreign markets. Its principal competitors for alluvial mining equipment are: Oro Industries, GSI Mining Systems, Placer Mining Equipment Worldwide, Gold Claimer Brand and many Chinese manufacturers such as BinQ. Methods of competition are diverse and include product design and performance, service, delivery, application engineering, pricing, financing terms and other commercial factors.

Customers

The Company’s oil and gas revenue is dependent upon the successful efforts of the respective well’s operator. Currently production from the Company’s six wells is sold to one customer. Although the Company believes if that customer were to cease purchasing the wells’ production, it would be able to secure another customer or customers.  However there can be no assurances that such customer(s) would provide favorable terms or that the cost of sales would not increase thereby negatively affecting the Company and its results of operations.

The Company's mining equipment customers include most of the large surface mining operators around the world. Customers include companies engaged in the surface mining of gold, other minerals and precious gem stones. Goldfield equipment has been shipped to 32 countries on 6 continents. The Company is not dependent upon any one customer.

With respect to the Company’s plans to provide mining extraction services, the Company currently has no customers for the precious metals extraction process.  However, management has located companies with significant stockpiles of minerals which are in need of carbon reactivation processing.  Management believes there will be a significant backlog for similar services that will last at least 5 (five) years into the future; however there can be no assurances that such customers or stock piles will be available to the Company if and when it is in a position to execute on this portion of its business plan.

Government Regulation in General.

Existing and Probable Governmental Regulation.  Company management monitors and complies with current government regulations that affect the Company’s activities, although the Company’s operations may be adversely affected by changes in government policy, regulations or taxation. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain all of the necessary licenses and permits that may be required to carry out exploration and development programs or its planned mineral extraction services. It is not expected that any of these controls or regulations will affect the Company’s operations in a manner materially different than they would affect other natural gas, oil and mining companies operating in the areas in which the Company operates.
    
United States Government Regulation.  The United States federal government and various state and local governments have adopted laws and regulations regarding the protection of human health and the environment. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit by operators before drilling or mining commences, prohibit drilling or mining activities on certain lands lying within wilderness areas, wetlands, or where pollution might cause serious harm, and impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from drilling or mining operations, and as to oil and natural gas, particularly with respect to operations in onshore and offshore waters or on submerged lands. These laws and regulations may increase the costs of drilling and operating wells and mining activities. Because these laws and regulations change frequently, the costs of compliance with existing and future environmental regulations cannot be predicted with certainty.

The transportation and certain sales of natural gas and certain chemicals used in mining operation in interstate commerce are heavily regulated by agencies of the federal government. Production of any oil and gas by properties in which the Company has an interest as well as any mining activities will be affected to some degree by state regulations. States have statutory provisions regulating the production and sale of oil and gas, including provisions regarding deliverability. Such statutes and the regulations are generally intended to prevent waste of oil and gas and to protect correlative rights to produce oil and gas between owners of a common reservoir. State regulatory authorities may also regulate the amount of oil and gas produced by assigning allowable rates of production to each well or proration unit.

Any exploration, production or mining on federal land will have to comply with the Federal Land Management Planning Act which has the effect generally of protecting the environment. Any exploration, production or mining activity on private property whether owned or leased will have to comply with the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act. The cost of complying with environmental concerns under any of these acts varies on a case by case basis. In many instances the cost can be prohibitive to development. Environmental costs associated with a particular project must be factored into the overall cost evaluation of whether to proceed with the project.

Environmental Regulation.  Oil and natural gas exploration, development and production operations are subject to stringent laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. Numerous governmental agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) issue regulations which often require difficult and costly compliance measures that carry substantial administrative, civil and criminal penalties and may result in injunctive obligations for failure to comply. These laws and regulations may require the acquisition of a permit before drilling commences, restrict the types, quantities and concentrations of various substances that can be released into the environment in connection with drilling and production activities, limit or prohibit construction or drilling activities on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands, ecologically sensitive and other protected areas, require action to prevent or remediate pollution from current or former operations, such as plugging abandoned wells or closing pits, and impose substantial liabilities for pollution. The strict liability nature of such laws and regulations could impose liability upon the Company regardless of fault. Changes in environmental laws and regulations occur frequently, and any changes that result in more stringent and costly pollution control or waste handling, storage, transport, disposal or cleanup requirements could materially adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial position, as well as the oil and natural gas industry in general.
 
Environmental problems have not interfered in any material respect with the Company's alluvial equipment manufacturing operations. The Company believes that its compliance with statutory requirements respecting environmental quality will not materially affect its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. Current federal and state legislation regulating surface mining and reclamation may affect some of the Company's customers, principally with respect to the cost of complying with, and delays resulting from, reclamation and environmental requirements. The Company's products are used for reclamation as well as for mining, which has a positive effect on the demand for such products and replacement parts therefor.

The Company did not incur any costs in connection with the compliance with any federal, state, or local environmental laws. However, costs could occur at any time through industrial accident or in connection with a terrorist act or a new project. Costs could extend into the millions of dollars for which the Company could be liable. In the event of liability, Company management believes that the Company would be entitled to contribution from other owners so that the Company’s percentage share of a particular project would be the percentage share of the Company’s liability on that project. However, other owners may not be willing or able to share in the cost of the liability. Even if liability is limited to the Company’s percentage share, any significant liability has the possibility of severely diminishing the Company’s assets and resources.  Company management is prepared to engage professionals, if necessary, to ensure regulatory compliance but in the near term expect the Company’s activities to require minimal regulatory oversight. If the Company expands the scope of the Company’s activities in the future it is reasonable to expect expenditures on compliance to rise.

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act.  The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), generally imposes joint and  several liabilities, without regard to fault or legality of conduct, on classes of persons who are considered to be responsible for the release of a “hazardous substance” into the environment. These persons include the current owner or operator of a contaminated facility, a former owner or operator of the facility at the time of contamination and those persons that disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substance. Under CERCLA and comparable state statutes, such persons may be subject to strict joint and several liabilities for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. In addition, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the hazardous substances released into the environment. Governmental agencies or third parties may seek to hold the Company responsible under CERCLA and comparable state statutes for all or part of the costs to clean up sites at which such “hazardous substances” have been released.

The Company's Research and Development.. The Company is not currently conducting any research and development activities other than property explorations and assessments. Company management does not anticipate conducting such activities in the near future. If the Company generates significant revenues, it may expand the Company’s product line by entering into additional relationship with third parties.

The Company's Intellectual Property. The Company does not presently own any patents, trademarks, licenses, concessions or royalties. The Company owns the Internet domain name www.mineralrite.com. Under current domain name registration practices, no one else can obtain an identical domain name, but someone might obtain a similar name, or the identical name with a different suffix, such as “.org”, or with a country designation. The regulation of domain names in the United States and in foreign countries is subject to change, and the Company could be unable to prevent third parties from acquiring domain names that infringe or otherwise decrease the value of the Company’s domain names.

Employees and Consultants. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has no full-time employees and no part-time employees. Company management believes that they may need to hire three additional employees in the next twelve months. From time-to-time, Company management anticipates that they may use the services of independent contractors and consultants to support the Company’s expansion and business development.
 
To ensure continuity with its acquisition of Goldfield, the Company has entered into a 30 month consulting agreement with its former owner, Lloyd McEwan (the “Consulting Agreement”). Under the terms of that Consulting Agreement, Mr. McEwan will receive a consulting fee of $5,000 per month beginning May 1, 2013. In addition Mr. McEwan is entitled to receive 5% of any net profits the Company realizes from the sale of products or materials of its facility located at 55 South Geneva Road in Lindon Utah. Net profits are defined by the parties as “[profit] after deducting all costs associated with the transaction, including employee costs directly associated with the project. MineralRite management salaries and administrative costs shall not exceed 15% of the gross profits.”  This percentage of profits payment continues indefinitely; however it only applies to products and materials sold from that location. Thus if the Company sells products or materials from another location, this payment would not be due or owing.  Likewise if the Company provided services from the Geneva Road location, the payment would not be due and owing.

Entry into New Line of Business; Alluvial Mining Equipment

As part of its larger strategy to become mineral extraction service provider, on March 1, 2013, MineralRite Corporation acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding stock of Goldfield International, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Goldfield”) in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock and $100,000 payable as follows: $33,000 April 1, 2013, $33,000 May 1, 2013, and $34,000 June 1, 2013 (the “Goldfield Acquisition”). Goldfield is one of the largest manufacturers of professional alluvial gold, diamond and other gem stone recovery equipment in the United States and has been in business since 1976. Glodfield also designs and manufactures equipment for environmental clean-up projects, including barges, clarifiers, lead recovery systems, dryers, conveyors and hoppers and other mechanical equipment.  Goldfield equipment has been shipped to 32 countries on 6 continents.
 
ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS
 
Investing in the Company’s common stock involves a high degree of risk. Any potential investor should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below before purchasing any shares of the Company’s common stock. The risks described below are those that Company management currently believes may materially affect the Company.

Risks Related to the Company’s Business

The Company derives revenues from companies in the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry as well as the mining industry, both of which are historically cyclical industries with levels of activity that are significantly affected by the levels and volatility of oil, natural gas, precious metals and gem stone prices.

 
 
 
4

 
 
 
Worldwide political, economic and military events have contributed to oil and natural gas price volatility and are likely to continue to do so in the future. Depending on the market prices of oil and natural gas, exploration and production companies may cancel or curtail their drilling programs, thereby reducing demand for the Company’s services. Many factors beyond the Company’s control affect oil and natural gas prices, including but not limited to:
 
   the cost of exploring for, producing and delivering oil and natural gas;
   the discovery rate of new oil and natural gas reserves;
   the rate of decline of existing and new oil and natural gas reserves;
   available pipeline and other oil and natural gas transportation capacity;
   the ability of oil and natural gas companies to raise capital;
   actions by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries;
   political instability in the Middle East and other major oil and natural gas producing regions;
   economic conditions in the United States and elsewhere;
   governmental regulations, both domestic and foreign;
   domestic and foreign tax policy;
   weather conditions in the United States and elsewhere;
   the pace adopted by foreign governments for the exploration, development and production of their national reserves;
   the price of foreign imports of oil and natural gas; and
   the overall supply and demand for oil and natural gas.
 
Any prolonged reduction in the overall level of exploration and development activities, whether resulting from changes in oil and natural gas prices or otherwise, could adversely impact the Company in many ways by negatively affecting its sales and results of operations.

Likewise volatility in precious metals and gem stone prices are likely to continue. Depending on the market prices of gold, silver, platinum, palladium and gem stones, mining companies may cancel or curtail their mining projects, thereby reducing demand for the Company’s alluvial mining equipment and services. Many factors beyond the Company’s control affect precious metal and gem prices and the resultant demand for our equipment and services, including but not limited to:

   exploration and production costs;
   the discovery rate of new precious metal and gem stone deposits;
   the rate of depletion of existing and new precious metal and gem stone deposits;
   the ability of mining companies to raise capital;
   political instability in precious metal and gem stone producing regions;
   economic conditions in the United States and elsewhere;
   governmental regulations, both domestic and foreign;
   domestic and foreign tax policy;
   weather conditions in the United States and elsewhere; and
   the overall supply and demand for commodities.

Any prolonged reduction in the overall level of mining activities, whether resulting from changes in precious metal or gem prices, could adversely impact the Company in many ways by negatively affecting its sales and results of operations.
 
The Company has a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of the Company’s prospects can be made.

The Company adopted its current business plan in 2012. The Company’s lack of operating history in its current and changing line of business makes an evaluation of the Company’s business and prospects very difficult. The Company's prospects must be considered speculative, considering the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered in the establishment of a new business. Company management cannot be certain that the Company’s business will be successful or that the Company will generate significant revenues and become profitable.

The Company is essentially beginning a new venture, with a limited operating history.

The Company’s planned venture into precious metal extraction is a start-up enterprise with very limited operating and no meaningful financial history on which prospective investors might attempt to predict future performance.  To date, the Company’s activities have consisted solely of acquiring an alluvial mining equipment manufacturer and applying certain proprietary features to a process long known and utilized in the industry, selecting manufacturing facility sites for the commercial production of such processes, commencing certain initial test marketing efforts and seeking financing for its proposed activities.  Except for limited test marketing and sales of its manufactured mining equipment, the Company has not sold this service to any customers.  The likelihood of success of the proposed new business of the Company must be viewed in light of the foregoing factors, as well as the delays, expenses, problems and difficulties frequently encountered by new enterprises in the development or start-up stage, many of which factors are beyond the Company’s control.  The Company is subject to all of the risks inherent in the creation and development of a new business and the marketing of new and innovative products.
 
 
 
5

 

 
The Company has only limited marketing experience with the precious metal extraction service.

To date, the Company’s marketing efforts have consisted principally of discussions with mining companies to determine their possible interest in the planned precious metal extraction service.  In order to market the precious metal extraction service on a commercial basis, the Company must develop a sales and marketing effort.  As the Company proceeds with this portion of its business plan, it intends to hire or contract with qualified, experienced salespeople as needed.  There can be no assurance that any of these marketing efforts will be successful or that the proceeds from this Offering will be sufficient to conduct the planned marketing program and to purchase the necessary quantities of inventory.

The Company will be relying on one process for its proposed extraction service.

To date, the Company has generated no revenues from its sale of the precious metal extraction service.  Accordingly, any factor that adversely affects the promotion or sale of precious metal extraction service will have a material adverse effect on that aspect of the Company’s business.

Company management anticipates that the Company will need to raise additional capital to continue the Company’s operations. The Company’s failure to raise additional capital will significantly affect the Company’s ability to fund proposed activities.

To pursue its strategy of becoming a value-added provider of environmentally friendly mining products services, the Company will be required to raise additional funds. Company management does not know if the Company will be able to acquire additional financing and anticipates the need to spend significant funds in acquiring the equipment and facilities needed to complete its business plan. The Company’s failure to obtain additional funds would significantly limit or eliminate the Company’s ability to fund those activities. Specifically, the Company needs additional capital to meet its obligations under the Goldfield acquisition. As of the date of this filing on Form 10-K, the Company has not made the first payment under its agreement with Goldfield’s sole shareholder and is therefore not in compliance with the terms of the acquisition.  Although the Company believes that Goldfield shareholder will be flexible in the timing of receipt of the installments due under its acquisition of Goldfield, no assurances can be made that this will continue.  If the shareholder were to insist on immediate payment, the Company is not currently in a position to make such payment and Goldfield’s shareholder could seek rescission of the acquisition and share exchange. This would have a material adverse affect on the Company and its planned operations.

The Company has incurred a net loss since inception and expects to incur net losses for the foreseeable future.

Company management expects to incur significant operating and capital expenditures and, as a result, expects significant net losses in the future. The Company will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability and may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitable operations.

The Company’s success in its historical business is highly dependent on the ability of management to locate and acquire oil and gas properties for exploration and development.

The nature of the Company’s historical operations is highly speculative and there is a consequent risk of loss of your investment. The success of the Company’s plan of operation with respect to its oil and gas business will depend to a great extent on the oil and gas properties that it acquires. Company management cannot assure investors that the Company will be successful in acquiring properties for exploration and development.

The Company’s success in its newly acquired alluvial mining equipment business is highly dependent on the ability of management to locate and acquire suitable customers for its products and services.

The nature of the Company’s newly acquired alluvial mining equipment business is highly speculative and there is a consequent risk of loss of your investment. The success of the Company’s plan of operation with respect to this business will depend to a great extent on customers it is able to secure to purchase its products and services as well as the mining industry as a whole. Company management cannot assure investors that the Company will be successful in continuing this business or that such continuation will be profitable.

We may not be able to keep pace with competition in our industry. 

The precious metal extraction industry in the U.S. and international markets is very competitive and fragmented. Our business, of which Goldfield is a part, is subject to risks associated with competition from new or existing industry participants who may have more resources and better access to capital. Many of our competitors and potential competitors may have substantially greater financial and government support, technical and marketing resources, larger customer bases, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more established relationships in the industry than we do. Among other things, these industry participants compete with us based upon price, quality, style, functionality and availability. We cannot be sure we will have the resources or expertise to compete successfully in the future. Some of our competitors may also be able to provide customers with additional benefits at lower overall costs to increase market share. We cannot be sure we will be able to match cost reductions by our competitors or that we will be able to succeed in the face of current or future competition. Also, due to the large number of

competitors and their wide range of product offerings, we may not be able to continue to differentiate our products through value, styling or functionality from those of our competitors. In addition, some of our customers are also performing more manufacturing services themselves. We may face competition from our customers as they seek to become more vertically integrated. As a result, we are continually subject to the risk of losing market share, which may lower our sales and earnings. We will face different market dynamics and competition as we develop new products to expand our presence in our target markets. In some markets, our future competitors may have greater brand recognition and broader distribution than we currently enjoy. We may not be as successful as our competitors in generating revenues in those markets due to the lack of recognition of our brands, lack of customer acceptance, lack of product quality history and other factors. As a result, any new expansion efforts could be more costly and less profitable than our efforts in our existing markets. If we are not as successful as our competitors are in our target markets, our sales could decline, our margins could be impacted negatively and we could lose market share, any of which could materially harm our business. 

Failure to anticipate or timely respond to changes in market acceptance of our process and products could adversely impact our business. 

There can be no assurance that the alluvial mining equipment or the precious metal extraction service we intend to provide as part of our business plan can be conducted at a cost, or sold in quantities necessary to achieve profitability.  It is possible that following the initial introduction of the precious metal extraction process, it may not perform properly or that customers may object to certain features of the process’ output and modifications to its design may be required to achieve greater customer acceptance.  These changes would require additional expense and could cause production delays, which would adversely affect the Company’s business.

Fluctuations in the price, availability or quality of raw materials for our products could cause manufacturing delays, adversely affect our ability to provide goods to our customers or increase costs, any of which could decrease our sales or earnings. 

Under our planed precious metal extraction service we intend to pursue as part of our business strategy, our major raw material purchases will include ore bodies and reclaimed mine tailings. If implemented, we will depend on outside suppliers for these raw materials and must obtain sufficient quantities of quality raw materials from these suppliers at acceptable prices and in a timely manner. We may not maintain fixed supply contracts with our suppliers. Unfavorable fluctuations in the price, quality or availability of required raw materials could negatively affect our ability to meet the demands of our customers. Our inability to meet customers’ demands could result in the loss of future sales. The profitability of our products and service offerings will depend in part upon the margin between the cost to us of certain raw materials and our fabrication costs associated with converting such raw materials into assembled products, as compared to the selling price of our products. We intend to continue to base the selling prices of our products and services in part upon their associated raw material costs. However, we may not be able to pass all increases in raw material cost or increases in the costs associated with taking possession of raw materials through to our customers in the future. The inability to offset price increases of raw materials by sufficient product price increases would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We do not plan to engage in hedging transactions to protect against raw material fluctuations, but anticipate mitigating the short-term risks of price swings by purchasing raw materials in advance based on forecasted production needs or reaching agreements with some of our suppliers to keep the cost of raw materials stable. 

Fluctuations in commodity prices, particularly gold, could impact profitability.

The principal raw materials we anticipate producing by the precious metal extraction service and the alluvial mining equipment we produce is used primarily for gold and iron ore.  The prices for such materials are influenced by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, including general economic conditions, market forces and macroeconomic conditions, governmental intervention, competition, labor costs, import duties and other trade restrictions and currency exchange rates.  Changing prices for gold, iron ore and other materials may cause the Company’s results of operations to fluctuate significantly.  Furthermore, a large rapid decrease in the price of gold in particular would have a material adverse effect on the Company unless the increased cost could be passed along to customers.

If we are unable to manage our growth, we may not continue to be profitable. 

Our continued success depends, in part, upon our ability to manage and expand our operations and facilities in the face of continued growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to fulfill our staffing requirements for our business, successfully train and assimilate new employees, or expand our management base and enhance our operating and financial systems. Failure to achieve any of these goals will prevent us from managing our growth in an effective manner and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. 

We may experience material disruptions to our manufacturing operations. 

We will rely upon our manufacturing facilities we acquire or lease to operate our business. While we seek to operate our facilities in compliance with applicable rules and regulations and take measures to minimize the risks of disruption at our facilities, a material disruption at our manufacturing facilities could prevent us from meeting customer demand, reduce our sales and negatively impact our financial results. Our manufacturing facilities, or any of our machines within our otherwise operational facilities, could cease operations unexpectedly due to a number of events, including: prolonged power failures; equipment failures; disruptions in the transportation infrastructure including roads, bridges, railroad tracks; and fires, floods, earthquakes, acts of war, or other catastrophes. Any such material disruption may prevent us from shipping our products on a timely basis, reduce our sales and negatively impact our financial results.

We face risks associated with managing operations in the United States. 

All of our manufacturing operations currently will be conducted in the United States. There are a number of risks inherent in doing business here, including the following:

 
unfavorable political or economic factors;
 
potentially adverse tax consequences;
 
unexpected legal or regulatory changes;
 
lack of sufficient protection for intellectual property rights; and
 
difficulties in recruiting and retaining personnel, and managing operations. 

Our inability to manage these risks successfully could adversely affect our business. Furthermore, we can provide no assurances that any new market expansion will be successful because of the risks associated with conducting such operations, including the risks listed above. 

We may not be able to obtain regulatory approvals for our products and processes. 

Our products are subject to regulations related to the precious metal extraction industry. Our products are subject to the standards of the U.S. and international markets in which our customers distribute our products to end consumers, including environmental and ecological standards. While we seek to manufacture all products to customer specifications and we believe that our products meet all currently applicable national and international standards, any failure to manufacture and deliver products in compliance with all applicable standards and regulations for the markets in which our products are distributed may subject us to fines, penalties or business interruptions, and therefore could have material and adverse effects on our business, financial condition and prospects. 

Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to protect us from potential losses. 

We intend to purchase property insurance for our properties, including raw materials, semi-manufactured goods, manufactured goods, buildings and machinery equipment. Our property insurance may not cover the full value of our property and equipment, however, which would leave us exposed in the event of loss or damage to our properties or claims filed against us. We do not maintain business interruption insurance. The business interruption insurance and the product liability insurance available currently may offer limited coverage. Any business disruption or natural disaster could result in substantial costs and a diversion of resources, which would have a material and adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Our business operations, particularly our anticipated production facilities, involve risks and hazards that could result in damage to, or destruction of, property and machinery, personal injury, business interruption and possible legal liability. In addition, we do not have product liability insurance covering bodily injuries and property damage caused by the products we sell. Therefore, we are exposed to risks associated with product liability claims and may need to bear the litigation cost if the use of our products results in bodily injury or property damage. We do not carry key-man life insurance, and if we lose the services of any senior management and key personnel, we may not be able to locate suitable or qualified replacements, and may incur additional expenses to recruit and train new personnel, which could severely disrupt our business and prospects. Furthermore, we do not have property insurance, and we are exposed to risks associated with losses in values of our equipment, facilities and inventory due to fire, earthquake, flood and a wide range of natural disasters. We do not have personal injury insurance and accidental medical care insurance. Although we require that the third-party transportation companies we engage maintain insurance policies with respect to inland transit risks for our products, the coverage may be inadequate to protect us from potential claims against us and the losses that may result. The occurrence of a significant event for which we are not fully insured or indemnified, and/or the failure of a party to meet its underwriting or indemnification obligations, could materially and adversely affect our operations and financial condition. Moreover, no assurance can be given that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable. 

We may not be able to protect our proprietary rights adequately. 

We wish to emphasize that the methods we intend to employ in the precious metal extraction service business are proprietary only insofar as they make certain changes in application to a process long known and utilized in the industry. We have no intellectual property protection for them.  We plan to strengthen and differentiate our processes by developing new and innovative methods and functionality. As a result, our proprietary methods will be important assets to our business, if we are able to pursue this portion of our business plan. Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain and protect our methods, processes and other technologies, to preserve our trade secrets, and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties, both here and abroad. Despite our efforts, any of the following may reduce the value of our methods:

 
our efforts to protect our proprietary rights may not be effective in preventing misappropriation of them;
 
our efforts may not prevent the development and design by others of products or technologies similar to or competitive with, or superior to those we use or develop; or
 
another party may obtain a blocking patent and we or our licensors would need to either obtain a license or design around the patent in order to continue to offer the contested feature or service in our products. 

If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights adequately, it would have a negative impact on our operations.

We may be subject to claims that we have infringed the proprietary rights of others, which could require us and our licensors to obtain a license or change designs. 

The Company has no patent protection for its alluvial mining equipment or proprietary planed precious metal extraction methods.  The Company does not intend to seek patent protection for its alluvial mining equipment and there is no assurance that patents would be issued in respect of that process or that, if issued, the patents will provide the protection sought by the Company.  Furthermore, although the Company is not aware of any infringement claims, there can be no assurance that the manufacture, use, or sale of its equipment or process will not give rise to infringement claims based on patents held by, or that may be issued in the future to competitors of the Company.  Although we do not believe any of our equipment or proposed products or processes infringe upon the proprietary rights of others, there is no assurance that infringement or invalidity claims (or claims for indemnification resulting from infringement claims) will not be asserted or prosecuted against us or those from whom we have licenses or that any such assertions or prosecutions will not have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of whether any such claims are valid or can be asserted successfully, defending against such claims could cause us to incur significant costs and could divert resources away from our other activities. In addition, assertion of infringement claims could result in injunctions that prevent us from distributing our products. If any claims or actions are asserted against us or those from whom we have licenses, we may seek to obtain a license to the intellectual property rights that are in dispute. Such a license may not be available on reasonable terms, or at all, which could force us to change our designs. 

Our business could be subject to environmental liabilities. 

Currently, our businesses are subject to the federal and state Environmental Protection Laws as well as other national and local laws regarding pollutant discharge, air, water and noise pollution. Although we believe we are in compliance in all material respects with the applicable environmental laws and regulations, if it is determined that we are in violation of these regulations, we could be subject to financial penalties as well as the loss of our business licenses. Furthermore, if the national or local government adopts more stringent environmental regulations, we may incur significant costs in complying with such regulations. If we fail to comply with present or future environmental regulations, we may be required to pay substantial fines, suspend production or cease operations and may be subject to adverse publicity. We currently do not incur any material costs in connection with our compliance with the applicable environmental laws. However, the risk of environmental liability and charges associated with maintaining compliance with environmental laws is inherent in the nature of our business, and there is no assurance that material environmental liabilities and compliance charges will not arise in the future. 

The costs to meet the Company’s reporting requirements as a public company subject to the Exchange Act of 1934 are substantial and may result in the Company having insufficient funds to operate.

The Company will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting and legal expenses associated with being a public company. Those fees will be higher if the Company’s business volume and activity increases. It will also be time-consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Certain members of our management have limited or no experience operating a company whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange or with the rules and reporting practices required by the federal securities laws and applicable to a publicly traded company. We will need to recruit, hire, train and retain additional financial reporting, internal control and other personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Those obligations will reduce the Company’s ability to fund operations and may prevent the Company from meeting normal business obligations.

If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately. Any inability to report and file our financial results accurately and timely could harm our business and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. 

We are required to establish and maintain internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures and to comply with other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules promulgated by the SEC. At present, we have instituted internal controls, but it may take time to implement them fully. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, cannot guarantee that our internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all possible errors. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the possibility that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and subject to simple error or mistake. Furthermore, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

The Company’s auditors have questioned the Company’s ability to continue operations as a “going concern.” Investors may lose all of their investment if the Company is unable to continue operations.

Company management hopes to obtain revenues from future operations. In the absence of significant operations, the Company may seek to raise additional funds to meet working capital needs principally through the additional sales of the Company’s securities. However, Company management cannot guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds when needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on satisfactory terms. As a result, the Company’s auditors believe that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue operations.

Risks Related to Owning the Company’s Common Stock

The Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders own approximately 71.01% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, allowing these shareholders control matters requiring approval of the Company’s shareholders.

The Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 71.01% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. The Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders can control matters requiring approval by the Company’s security holders, including the election of directors.
 
The Company’s common stock may be subject to penny stock regulations which may make it difficult for investors to sell their stock.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks”. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules. If the Company’s common stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules, holders of the Company’s shares may have difficulty selling those shares.

ITEM 3.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
From time to time, the Company may become subject to various legal proceedings that are incidental to the ordinary conduct of its business. Although the Company cannot accurately predict the amount of any liability that may ultimately arise with respect to any of these matters, it makes provision for potential liabilities when it deems them probable and reasonably estimable. These provisions are based on current information and legal advice and may be adjusted from time to time according to developments.

Other than the foregoing, Company management knows of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against the Company’s company, nor is the Company involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which the Company’s director, officer or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

Dividends

Company management has never declared any cash dividends with respect to the Company’s common stock. Future payment of dividends is within the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will depend on the Company’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other relevant factors. Although there are no material restrictions limiting, or that are likely to limit, the Company’s ability to pay dividends on the Company’s common stock, Company management presently intend to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the Company’s business and have no present intention to pay cash dividends on the Company’s common stock.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

There have been no sales of unregistered securities within the last three (3) years which would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 701 of Regulation S-K, except for the following:

In January 2010, the Company raised $150,000 for the drilling of the Bond #2-18 through the issuance of 60 units priced at $2,500 per unit. Each unit consisted of 100 restricted common shares and 200 share purchase options at $12.50 per share with an expiration date of July 2011. The Company issued a total of 6,000 shares and 12,000 options related to the private placement. The unit holder has the option to surrender their interest in the well back to the Company in exchange for 100 restricted common shares per unit surrendered for a period of 36 months from the date of receipt of the first revenue check paid to the unit holders. The Company acquired a 20% NRI in this well with 60% of the revenue received from this well being distributed proportionately to the investors. The Company paid a 10% commission to a third party on the portion of the funds raised by the third party relating to the Bond well. This commission totaled $14,000 which was converted to an interest in the well. As per the terms of the commission agreement the Company issued 560 shares valued at $14,000 to the third party for consulting expenses related to the Bond financing and 1,120 options expiring in July 2011.

In March 2010, the Company raised $150,000 for the drilling of the Sattler #1-18 through the issuance of 60 units priced at $2,500 per unit. Each unit consisted of 100 restricted common shares and 200 share purchase options at $12.50 per share with an expiration date of September 2011. The Company issued a total of 6,000 shares and 12,000 options related to the private placement.

ITEM 6.       SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
 
As a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, Company management is not required to provide the information called for by this Item.
 
ITEM 7.       MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) contains forward-looking statements that involve known and unknown risks, significant uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed, or implied, by those forward-looking statements.  The reader can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words may, will, should, could, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, intends, potential, proposed, or continue or the negative of those terms.  These statements are only predictions. In evaluating these statements, the reader should consider various factors which may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements.  Although Company management believes that the exceptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, management cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.  Therefore, Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many important factors, including those set forth in our “Risk Factors.”  The Company’s management undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. In consultation with the Company’s Board of Directors, management has identified the following accounting policies that it believes are key to an understanding of its financial statements. These are important accounting policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Oil and gas production revenues are recognized at the point of sale.
 
Oil and Gas Properties
 
The Company uses the full cost method of accounting under which all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves, including costs related to unsuccessful wells and estimated future site restoration and abandonment, are capitalized until such time as the aggregate of such costs net of accumulated depletion and oil and natural gas related deferred income taxes, on a country-by-country basis, equals the sum of 1) the discounted present value (at 10%), using prices as of the end of each reporting period on a constant basis, of the Company’s estimated future net cash flows from estimated production of proved oil and natural gas reserves as determined by independent petroleum consultants, less estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves but excluding future cash outflows associated with settling asset retirement
 
 
 
15

 
 
 
obligations accrued on the balance sheet; plus 2) the cost of major development projects and unproven properties not subject to depletion, if any; plus 3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in costs subject to depletion; less 4) related income tax effects.  If net capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is expensed unless subsequent market price changes eliminate or reduce the indicated write-down in accordance with U.S. SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 12D.  Depletion is computed using the units-of-production method whereby capitalized costs, net of estimated salvage values, plus estimated future costs to develop proved reserves and satisfy asset retirement obligations, are amortized over the total estimated proved reserves on a country-by-country basis.  Investments in major development projects are not depleted until either proved reserves are associated with the projects or impairment has been determined.
 
Foreign Currency Translation
 
The Company's primary functional currency is the U.S. dollar. For foreign operations whose functional currency is the local currency, balance sheet accounts are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year and income statement accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Translation gains and losses are included as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit.
 
Asset Retirement Obligations
 
The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 and similar state statutes require mine properties to be restored in accordance with specified standards. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 410-20 requires recognition of an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) for eventual reclamation of disturbed acreage remaining after mining has been completed. The Company records its reclamation obligations on a permit-by-permit basis using requirements as determined by the Office of Surface Mining of the U.S. Department of the Interior (“OSM”). The liability is calculated based upon the reclamation activities remaining after removal ceases, assuming that reclamation activities have been contemporaneous within state and federal guidelines during mining. A liability is recorded for the estimated future cost that a third party would incur to perform the required reclamation and mine closure discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free rate. A corresponding increase in the asset carrying value of mineral rights is also recorded. The ARO asset is amortized on the units-of-production method over the proven and probable reserves associated with that permit.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s revenue is dependent upon the successful efforts of the respective well’s operator. Currently production from the Company’s six wells is sold to one customer.

Loss per Share of Common Stock
 
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” Topic 260-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of December 31, 2012 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share consist of (a) warrants to purchase 5,720 (post-split) shares of the Company’s common stock and (b) Unit holders’ options to convert their respective oil revenue interests into a total 24,030 (post-split)  shares of the Company’s common stock.  Potential common shares as of December 31, 2011 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share consist of (a) warrants to purchase 35,840 (post-split) shares of the Company’s common stock and (b) Unit holders’ options to convert their respective oil revenue interests into a total 43,230 (post-split)  shares of the Company’s common stock.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC No. 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.” ASC No. 360 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.  The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition.  If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. As of December 31, 2012, the Company does not believe there has been any impairment of its long-lived assets.

Fair Value Measurement
 
The Company adopted ACS Topic 820-10, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“Topic 820-10”), at the beginning of fiscal year 2009 to measure the fair value of certain of its financial assets and liabilities required to be measured on a recurring basis. The adoption of Topic 820-10 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Topic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques 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 measurements)
 
 
 
16

 
 
 
and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Topic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820-10 are described below:
 
Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access. The Company has no Level 1 assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 
The Company has no Level 2 assets. The Company’s Level 2 liabilities consist of related party payables, notes payable, and stockholder loans. Due to the short-term nature of related party payables and stockholders loans, the fair values of these instruments approximate their respective carrying values. The Company determines the fair value of notes payable based on the effective yields of similar obligations.
 
Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The Company has no Level 3 assets or liabilities.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources.

The Company’s forecast for the period for which the Company’s financial resources will be adequate to support  operations involves risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ as a result of a number of factors. As Stated, the Company plans to enter into the mineral extraction service industry and anticipates significant increases in its cash needs in order to execute its business plan.  The operations of its oil and gas business are not expected to provide sufficient working capital to pursue this new line of business; therefore the Company will require additional financing to meet its objectives. Additionally, as part of its business plan and the acquisition of Goldfield International, Inc. the Company is obligated to pay $100,000 to its former shareholder in 2013, the Company has entered into a month to month lease for $8,000 per month. Finally, as part of that acquisition the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Goldfield’s former sole shareholder and officer that provides payments of $5,000 per month and a percentage of net sales generated from the Goldfield facilities.  Collectively the forgoing are significant additional expenses which the Company will continue to incur in the future.  Other than anticipated explorations costs associated with the mineral and oil interests that the Company acquired and the anticipated increases in the legal and accounting costs associated with being a public company, Company management is not aware of any other known trends, events or uncertainties which may affect the Company’s future liquidity.
 
In the event that the Company experiences a shortfall in capital, the Company intends to pursue opportunities to raise funds through public or private financing as well as through borrowings and via other resources, such as the Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders. The Company cannot guaranty that additional funding will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, then the Company’s ability to expand operations may be significantly hindered. If adequate funds are not available, the Company believes that the Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will contribute funds to pay for the Company’s expenses to achieve the Company’s objectives over the next twelve months.
 
The Company’s belief that the Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will pay the Company’s expenses is based on the fact that the Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders collectively own approximately 71.02% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and will likely continue to pay the Company’s expenses as long as they maintain their ownership of the Company’s common stock, so long as they do not incur financial hardship.
 
The Company is not currently conducting any research and development activities and management does not anticipate conducting such activities in the near future. In the event that the Company’s customer base expands, then management may need to hire additional employees or independent contractors as well as purchase or lease additional equipment.

Effects of Inflation and Pricing
 
The oil and gas industry is cyclical and the demand for goods and services by oil field companies, suppliers and others associated with the industry put significant pressure on the economic stability and pricing structure within the industry. Typically, as prices for oil and natural gas increase all other associated costs increase as well. Conversely, in a period of declining prices, associated cost declines are likely to lag and may not adjust downward in proportion to the declining prices. Material changes in prices also impact our current revenue stream, estimates of future reserves, impairment assessments of oil and natural gas properties, and values of properties in purchase and sale transactions. Material changes in prices can impact the value of oil and gas companies and their ability to raise capital, borrow money and retain personnel. While we do not currently expect business costs to materially increase, higher prices for oil and natural gas could result in increases in the costs of materials, services and personnel. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
 
ITEM 7A.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 9.       CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
 
There have been no changes in or disagreements with the Company’s accountants since the Company’s formation required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 304(b) of Regulation S-K.
 
ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Company management maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that is filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon their evaluation of those controls and procedures performed as of December 31, 2012, the date of this report, the Company’s chief executive officer and the principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

(b) Changes in internal controls. There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation of those controls by the chief executive officer and principal financial officer.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company’s receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Company’s directors; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As part of the Company’s compliance efforts relative to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Company management evaluated control deficiencies identified through the Company’s test of the design and operating effectiveness of controls over financial reporting to determine whether the deficiencies, individually or in combination, are significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. In performing the assessment, the Company’s management has identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existing as of December 31, 2012. The Company’s evaluation of the significance of each deficiency included both quantitative and qualitative factors. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that as of December 31, 2012, and as of the date that the evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls and procedures was completed, the Company’s internal controls are not effective, for the reason discussed below:
 
1. Company management does not yet have written documentation of the Company’s internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and may be applicable to the Company in future years.
 
2. Company management does not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to the Company’s extremely small size and the fact that the Company has only had one management employee, whom is also an executive officer and director, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals.
 
 
 
20

 
 
 
3. The Company currently does not employ any full-time accounting personnel, which means the Company lacks the requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting. In addition, this means that the Company does not have available personnel to properly implement control procedures.

4. The Company does not have a functioning audit committee or outside independent directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.
 
5. Company management has not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of management override, specifically because there are no employees and only one officer and director with management functions and therefore there the Company lacks segregation of duties.
 
6. There is a strong reliance on the external auditors and contract accountants to review and adjust the annual and quarterly financial statements, to monitor new accounting principles, and to ensure compliance with GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.

7. There is a strong reliance on the external attorneys to review and edit the annual and quarterly filings and to ensure compliance with SEC disclosure requirements.

In light of the material weaknesses described above, Company management performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure the Company’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, Company management believe that the financial statements included in this Report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

In addition, although the Company’s controls are not effective, these significant weaknesses did not result in any material misstatements in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which is intended to mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) has, subsequent to the evaluation period, appointed outside directors and will establish an audit committee in the future.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the weaknesses identified above, there were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Directors

Each director serves until the Company’s next annual meeting of the stockholders or unless they resign earlier.  The Board of Directors elects officers and their terms of office are at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  Each of the Company’s directors serves until his or her successor is elected and qualified.  Each of the Company’s officers is elected by the Board of Directors to a term of one (1) year and serves until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until he or she is removed from office.  At the present time, members of the Board of Directors are not compensated in cash for their services to the Board.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended requires the Company’s directors and officers, and persons who own more than ten-percent (10%) of the Company’s common stock, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports of change in ownership on Forms 4 and 5. Such officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders are also required to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by the Company and on written representations from certain reporting persons, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) reports applicable to its officers, directors and ten-percent stockholders with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 were filed timely; with the exception that the Company believes that initial filings by the currently listed beneficial holders were not filed timely.

Nominating Committee

The Company's entire Board participates in consideration of director nominees. The Board will consider candidates with previous experience as a board member or senior officer of a company or who are generally recognized in a relevant field as a well-regarded practitioner, faculty member or senior government officer. The Board will also evaluate whether the candidates' skills and experience are complementary to the existing Board's skills and experience as well as the Board's need for operational, management, financial, international, technological or other expertise. The Board will interview candidates that meet the criteria and then select nominees that Board believes best suit the Company's needs.

The Board will not evaluate candidates proposed by stockholders any differently than other candidates.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Company’s Board of Directors does not have an “audit committee financial expert,” within the meaning of such phrase under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, serving on its audit committee. The Board of Directors believes that all members of its audit committee are financially literate and experienced in business matters, and that one or more members of the audit committee are capable of (1) understanding generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements, (2) assessing the general application of GAAP principles in connection with the Company’s accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves, (3) analyzing and evaluating the Company’s financial statements, (4) understanding the Company’s internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and (5) understanding audit committee functions, all of which are attributes of an audit committee financial expert. However, the Board of Directors believes that there are not any audit committee members who has obtained these attributes through the experience specified in the SEC’s definition of “audit committee financial expert.” Further, like many small companies, it is difficult for the Company to attract and retain board members who qualify as “audit committee financial experts,” as competition for these individuals is significant. The board believes that its current audit committee is able to fulfill its role under SEC regulations despite not having a designated “audit committee financial expert.” Company management believes the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of the Company’s start-up operations, Company management believes the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
 
Audit Committee

The Company lacks an Audit Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors, performs some of the same functions of an Audit Committee, such as: recommending a firm of independent certified public accountants to audit the annual financial statements; reviewing the independent auditors independence, the financial statements and their audit report; and reviewing management's administration of the system of internal accounting controls. The Company does not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.

Security Holders Recommendations to the Board of Directors

The Company’s Company does not currently have a process for security holders to send communications to the Board of Directors.  However, Company management welcomes comments and questions from the Company’s shareholders.  Shareholders can direct communications to Chief Executive Officer Guy Peckham at the executive offices.

While Company management appreciates all comments from shareholders, Company management may not be able to individually respond to all communications. The Company does attempt to address shareholder questions and concerns in press releases and documents filed with the SEC so that all shareholders have access to information at the same time.  Mr. Peckham collects and evaluates all shareholder communications.  If the communication is directed to the Board of Directors generally or to a specific director, Mr. Peckham will disseminate the communications to the appropriate party at the next scheduled Board of Directors meeting.  If the communication requires a more urgent response, Mr. Peckham will direct that communication to the appropriate executive officer.  All communications addressed to the Company’s directors and executive officers will be reviewed by those parties unless the communication is clearly frivolous.

Certain Legal Proceedings

The Company’s directors, executive officers and control persons have not been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:
1.
any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
2.
any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);
3.
being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated

Employees

Other than the Company’s officers and directors, the Company currently has no other employees.

Code of Ethics

The Company has not adopted a corporate code of ethics that applies to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions in that the Company’s sole officer and director serves in all the above capacities.

 
 
 
23

 
 
 
The Company’s decision to not adopt such a code of ethics results from the Company’s having only two officers working closely together managing the Company. The Company believes that as a result of the limited interaction, which occurs having such a small management team, eliminates the current need for such a code. Further, since the officers also serve as directors there is no one to report violations of such a code to.

(1) Mr. Ruskowsky provided services to the Company through Santeo Financial, a company in which Mr. Ruskowsky owns a controlling interest.  In October 2012, Mr. Guy, Peckham, the Company’s President, personally assumed $200,000 of the obligation the Company’s owes Santeo Financial for unpaid management fees. The $200,000 debt was not forgiven and the Company’s records indicate the $200,000 debt as being owed to Mr. Peckham as of December 31, 2012.  The $200,000 is non-interest bearing, unsecured, and due on demand.  Mr. Ruskowsky, the Company’s former president, provided services through a consulting agreement that the Company had with Santeo Financial Corp (“Santeo”). Under the terms a consulting agreement, the Company was required to pay Santeo $15,000 per month. The $15,000 monthly fee was accrued by the Company and was reduced by amounts actually paid. The consulting agreement terminated in August 2012. In October 2012, the balancing owing Santeo amounted to $397,193, of which $200,000 was personally assumed by Mr. Guy Peckham. The balance owed to Santeo as of the termination date, net of the assumed $200,000, amounted $197,193, which is being paid in monthly installments of $8,500. If the Company is successful in receiving at least $500,000 from the sale of its common stock, the Company is required to make a $100,000 installment payment against the balance due.  The remaining balance, if any, becomes fully due and payable on May 1, 2013. Consulting fees expensed for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $119,000 and $180,000, respectively. On July31, 2012, Ron Ruskowsky resigned from his position as President of the Company and Director of the Corporation. His resignation was not of any disagreement with the Company, or its officers.  On October 30 2012, the Company issued Mr. Guy Peckham, the Company’s current president 11,500,000 shares of its common stock for services. The 11,500,000 shares were valued at $149,500, which is being charged to operations over the three year term of the underlying agreement. In February 2013, out of the 7,000,000 shares of common stock that were canceled and reissued, 2,000,000 were granted to Mr. Peckham as additional consideration for services to be rendered.
   
(2) On July 31, 2012, Roger Janssen was elected as interim President for the Company as reported on the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 6, 2012 and was subsequently replaced as President of the Company by Guy Peckham as reported on the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 23, 2012. Roger Janssen remained as Chairman of the Board of Directors, Treasurer and the Secretary of the Corporation.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company owed Roger Janssen, an officer and director of the Company, $1,345 for services previously performed.
   
(3) As of December 31, 2012, the Company owed Phil Van Angren, a former officer and director of the Company, $3,636 for services previously performed. Mr Van Angren served as a member of the Company’s board of directors and Exploration Manager until  he resigned all positions he held with the Company. The resignation did not involve any disagreement with the Company, as reported on the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Commission on May 26, 2011.
 
Except as set forth above, none of the Company's officers and/or directors currently receives any compensation for their respective services rendered to the Company.

Long-Term Incentive Plans.

There are no arrangements or plans in which the Company provides pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers, except that the Company’s directors and executive officers may receive stock options at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company does not have any material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to directors or executive officers, except that stock options may be granted at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.
 
 
 
24

 
 
 
Stock Option Grants

On November 20, 2012, the Board of Directors and the shareholders of the Company approved and adopted the terms and provisions of a 2012 Stock Incentive Plan for the Company. An aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are initially reserved for issuance upon exercise of nonqualified and/or incentive stock options which may be granted under the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2012 the Company issued options on 2,500,000 common shares through the plan which were exercised.
 
Employment and Consulting Agreements

No employment agreements are currently in place. To ensure continuity with its acquisition of Goldfield International, Inc., the Company has entered into a 30 month consulting agreement with its former owner, Lloyd McEwan (the “Consulting Agreement”). Under the terms of that Consulting Agreement, Mr. McEwan will receive a consulting fee of $5,000 per month beginning May 1, 2013. In addition Mr. McEwan is entitled to receive 5% of any net profits the Company realizes from the sale of products or materials of its facility located at 55 South Geneva Road in Lindon, Utah. Net profits are defined by the parties as “[profit] after deducting all costs associated with the transaction, including employee costs directly associated with the project. MineralRite management salaries and administrative costs shall not exceed 15% of the gross profits.”  This percentage of profits payment continues indefinitely; however it only applies to products and materials sold from that location. Thus, if the Company sells products or materials from another location, this payment would not be due or owing.  Likewise if the Company provided services from the Geneva Road location, the payment would not be due and owing.

There are no other current arrangements or plans in which the Company provides pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers. The Company’s directors and executive officers may receive stock options at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors in the future. The Company does not have any material bonus or profit sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to the Company’s directors or executive officers, except that stock options may be granted at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

The Company’s directors, executive officers and control persons have not been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:
1.  
any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
2.  
any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);
3.  
being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
 
ITEM 12.      SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
 
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP TABLE

The following table lists, as of December 31, 2012, the number of shares of common stock of the Company’s Company that are beneficially owned by (1) each person or entity known to the Company’s Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (2) each officer and director of the Company’s Company; and (3) all officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by the Company’s principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.
 
As of the date of this current report, there are 53,559,900 shares of common stock issued and outstanding these shares and the table below reflect the reissuance of 7,000,000 shares as disclosed on the Company's Form 8-K/A filed with the Commission on February 6, 2013 and the 2,000,000 shares issued as part of the acquisition of Goldfield International, Inc. as disclosed on the Company's Form 8-K filed with the Commission on March 6, 2013.

In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules, shares of the Company’s common stock which may be acquired upon exercise of stock options or warrants which are currently exercisable or which become exercisable within 60 days of the date of the table are deemed beneficially owned by the option holders. Subject to community property laws, where applicable, the persons or entities named in the table above have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of the Company’s common stock indicated as beneficially owned by them.

ITEM 13.      CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 
Related Party Transactions

The Company has entered into a month-to-month lease agreement with Trio Gold for an office in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Trio Gold’s President is the father of Ron Ruskowsky, the former President and CEO of the Company. This lease can be canceled on one month’s written notice. The lease agreement was amended in February 2011 which increased rental payments from approximately $450 to $1,300 per month plus applicable taxes.  For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, rent expense amounted to $15,908 and $16,094, respectively.

In October 2012, Mr. Guy, Peckham, the Company’s President, personally assumed $200,000 of the obligation the Company’s owes Santeo Financial for unpaid management fees. The $200,000 debt was not forgiven and the Company’s records indicate the $200,000 debt as being owed to Mr. Peckham as of December 31, 2012.  The $200,000 is non-interest bearing, unsecured, and due on demand.  Mr. Ruskowsky, the Company’s former president, provided services through a consulting agreement that the Company had with Santeo Financial Corp (“Santeo”). Mr. Ruskowsky owns a controlling interest in Santeo.

Under the terms a consulting agreement, the Company was required to pay Santeo $15,000 per month. The $15,000 monthly fee was accrued by the Company and was reduced by amounts actually paid. The consulting agreement terminated in August 2012. In October 2012, the balancing owing Santeo amounted to $397,193, of which $200,000 was personally assumed by Mr. Guy Peckham. The balance owed to Santeo as of the termination date, net of the assumed $200,000, amounted $197,193, which is being paid in monthly installments of $8,500. If the Company is successful in receiving at least $500,000 from the sale of its common stock, the Company is required to make a $100,000 installment payment against the balance due.  The remaining balance, if any, becomes fully due and payable on May 1, 2013. Consulting fees expensed for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $119,000 and $180,000, respectively.

On October 30 2012, the Company issued Mr. Guy Peckham, the Company’s current president 11,500,000 shares of its common stock for services. The 11,500,000 shares were valued at $149,500, which was charged to operations. In February 2013, of the 7,000,000 that were issued into treasury canceled and subsequently reissued, 2,000,000 were reissued to Mr. Peckham for services to be rendered.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company owed Roger Janssen, an officer and director of the Company, $1,345 for services previously performed.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company owed Phil Van Angren, an officer and director of the Company, $3,636 for consulting services previously performed.

As of September 30, 2012, certain shareholders have advanced the Company a total of $19,845 that is payable on demand and is non-interest bearing.

Director Independence

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTCQB, which does not impose independence requirements on our Board of Directors or any committee thereof. Since the OTCQB does not have rules regarding director independence, the Board makes its determination as to director independence based on the definition of “independence” as defined under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and American Stock Exchange (“Amex”). Our current directors do not meet the definition of independence because they are both executive officers.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of MineralRite Corporation

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of MineralRite Corporation as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012. MineralRite Corporation’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MineralRite Corporation as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses of approximately $6,266,031 and has a working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

MineralRite Corporation (“the Company”) was incorporated in Nevada on October 22, 1996 under its original name PSM Corp.  The Company changed its emphasis to the exploration and development of natural resources and on November 23, 2005 changed its name to Royal Quantum Group, Inc. On October 18, 2012, the Company again changed its name from Royal Quantum Group, Inc. to MineralRite Corporation. On August 31, 2012, the Company declared a 50-for-1 reverse stock split of its common stock. All references in the accompanying financials to the number of shares outstanding and per-share amounts have been restated to reflect this stock split.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingencies.  Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company has made assumptions in valuing its oil and natural gas reserves, which may affect the amounts at which oil and natural gas properties are recorded.   The Company has also computed the components of the investment units sold in its private offerings using assumptions such as volatility, expected life and the risk-free interest rate (See Note 7).

Going Concern

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  The Company has incurred substantial losses from operations and has a working capital deficit, which history and circumstance raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. At December 31, 2012, the Company had a net loss of $454,007, negative working capital of $424,800, and accumulated deficit of $6,266,031. The Company has raised sufficient funds through the private sale of participating units to acquire working interests in nine oil and gas wells. Six of the wells are currently producing as of December 31, 2012 and one well has been abandoned.  Total gross revenue generated from these six wells during the year ended December amounted to $357,943.  Although the Company has been successful in raising the necessary funds to acquire these working interests and has been able to generate net revenue from these wells, there is no assurance that these wells will continue to generate positive cash flow. Currently the net revenue generated from these wells is not sufficient to fund all of the Company’s operating costs. The Company is seeking to raise additional funds to acquire other oil and gas properties; however, there is no assurance that the necessary funds will be raised or even if the funds are raised, that the working interest acquired in the future will generate sufficient revenue to assist in the financing of the Company’s operations.  Until such funding is obtained and/or positive results from planned property development materialize, doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern may remain.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at the customer’s outstanding balances less any allowance for doubtful accounts.  Interest is not accrued on overdue accounts receivable.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

An allowance for doubtful accounts on accounts receivable is charged to operations in amounts sufficient to maintain the allowance for uncollectible accounts at a level management believes is adequate to cover any probable losses.  Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on historical write-off percentages and information collected from individual customers.  Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when collectability is determined to be permanently impaired.  Management has determined that as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, no allowances were required.

Revenue Recognition

Oil and gas production revenues are recognized at the point of sale.

Oil and Gas Properties

The Company uses the full cost method of accounting under which all costs incurred in the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and natural gas reserves, including costs related to unsuccessful wells and estimated future site restoration and abandonment, are capitalized until such time as the aggregate of such costs net of accumulated depletion and oil and natural gas related deferred income taxes, on a country-by-country basis, equals the sum of 1) the discounted present value (at 10%), using prices as of the end of each reporting period on a constant basis, of the Company’s estimated future net cash flows from estimated production of proved oil and natural gas reserves as determined by independent petroleum consultants, less estimated future expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the proved reserves but excluding future cash outflows associated with settling asset retirement obligations accrued on the balance sheet; plus 2) the cost of major development projects and unproven properties not subject to depletion, if any; plus 3) the lower of cost or estimated fair value of unproven properties included in costs subject to depletion; less 4) related income tax effects.  If net capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is expensed unless subsequent market price changes eliminate or reduce the indicated write-down in accordance with U.S. SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 12D.  Depletion is computed using the units-of-production method whereby capitalized costs, net of estimated salvage values, plus estimated future costs to develop proved reserves and satisfy asset retirement obligations, are amortized over the total estimated proved reserves on a country-by-country basis.  Investments in major development projects are not depleted until either proved reserves are associated with the projects or impairment has been determined.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the five-year estimated useful life of the assets computed on the straight-line method.

Gains and losses resulting from sales and dispositions of property and equipment are included in current operations. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted $0 and $185, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's primary functional currency is the U.S. dollar.  For foreign operations whose functional currency is the local foreign currency, balance sheet accounts are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year and income statement accounts are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Translation gains and losses are included as a separate component of stockholders’ deficit.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s revenue is dependent upon the successful efforts of the respective well’s operator. Currently production from the Company’s six wells is sold to one customer.

Loss per Share of Common Stock
 
The Company reports earnings (loss) per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” Topic 260-10, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares available. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed similar to basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings (loss) per share has not been presented since the effect of the assumed conversion of warrants and debt to purchase common shares would have an anti-dilutive effect. Potential common shares as of December 31, 2012 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share consist of (a) warrants to purchase 5,720 (post-split) shares of the Company’s common stock and (b) Unit holders’ options to convert their respective oil revenue interests into a total 24,030 (post-split)  shares of the Company’s common stock.  Potential common shares as of December 31, 2011 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share consist of (a) warrants to purchase 35,840 (post-split) shares of the Company’s common stock and (b) Unit holders’ options to convert their respective oil revenue interests into a total 43,230 (post-split)  shares of the Company’s common stock.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 and similar state statutes require mine properties to be restored in accordance with specified standards. Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 410-20 requires recognition of an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) for eventual reclamation of disturbed acreage remaining after mining has been completed. The Company records its reclamation obligations on a permit-by-permit basis using requirements as determined by the Office of Surface Mining of the U.S. Department of the Interior (“OSM”). The liability is calculated based upon the reclamation activities remaining after removal ceases, assuming that reclamation activities have been contemporaneous within state and federal guidelines during mining. A liability is recorded for the estimated future cost that a third party would incur to perform the required reclamation and mine closure discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free rate. A corresponding increase in the asset carrying value of mineral rights is also recorded. The ARO asset is amortized on the units-of-production method over the proven and probable reserves associated with that permit.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with ASC No. 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.” ASC No. 360 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate.  The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition.  If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. As of December 31, 2012, the Company does not believe there has been any impairment of its long-lived assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Pursuant to ASC No. 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheet as of December 31, 2012. The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivables, payables, and other obligations.  The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for its income taxes under the provisions of ASC No. 740 “Income Taxes. The method of accounting for income taxes under ASC No. 740 is an asset and liability method. The asset and liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax bases and financial reporting bases of other assets and   liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 
The Company’s management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements since the last audit through the issuance date of these financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, none of the recent accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the financial statements.

 
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT IN OIL & GAS PROPERTY

In March 2011, the Company acquired an 8% working interest (6.4% NRI) in the Haggard #5-17 well located in Noble County, Oklahoma, USA. The Company capitalized $35,844 in development of this well. The well’s production commenced in 2011 and is still currently producing. A royalty consisting of 60% of the net revenue received from the production of the well will be distributed proportionally to the well’s investors.

In April and May 2011, the Company raised a total of $95,000 towards its share of the drilling and completion of the Bond #4 well through the issuance of 38 units. The Company has a 20% NRI in the Bond #4 well and each of the 38 units was priced at $2,500 per unit totaling $95,000 cash and consisted of 5,000 restricted common shares, a pro rata share of 60% of the net revenue generated from the production of the well, and warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share with an expiration date of October 2012. Each unit holder was granted the option to surrender their pro rata interest in the revenue from the well back to the company in exchange for 5,000 restricted common shares per unit surrendered. This option is exercisable for a period of 36 months from the date the investor receives the first revenue check. Of the $95,000 received, the Company allocated $20,936 towards the value of the investors’ 60% interest in the Company’s share of the well’s net revenue and credited this amount against the $93,332 it has currently paid and capitalized towards the drilling cost of the well. A consulting fee in connection with the offering was paid through the issuance of 3.4 units. The capitalized cost of the well was further reduced by the consultant’s allocated share in the well’s net revenue by $1,873. In November 2011, the Company received a refund of $7,771 from the well operator of costs related to this well, which reduced the capitalized cost allocated to this well. Total capitalized costs related to this well are $49,752.

In August 2011, the Company raised a total of $65,000 towards its share of the drilling and completion of the Chuck #1 well through the issuance of 26 units. The Company has a 20% NRI in the Chuck #1 well and each of the 26 units was priced at $2,500 per unit totaling $65,000 cash and consisted of 5,000 restricted common shares, a pro rata share of 60% of the net revenue generated from the production of the well, and warrants to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.25 per share with an expiration date of February 2013. Each unit holder was granted the option to surrender their pro rata interest in the revenue from the well back to the company in exchange for 5,000 restricted common shares per unit surrendered. This option is exercisable for a period of 36 months from the date of acceptance of the Subscription Agreement. Of the $65,000 received, the Company allocated $15,394 towards the value of the investors’ 60% interest in the Company’s share of the well’s net revenue and credited this amount against the $59,015 it has currently paid and capitalized towards the drilling cost of the well. A consulting fee in connection with the offering was paid through the issuance of 2.6 units. The capitalized cost of the well was further reduced by the consultant’s allocated share in the well’s net revenue by $1,539. As of the date of this report, the Chuck #1 well is not in production. Total capitalized costs related to this well are $42,779.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company’s accrued asset retirement obligation totaled $11,994 and this amount was included in the capitalized cost of the oil and gas properties. Depletion expense is included in production expense as reflected in the accompanying statements of operations. Depletion expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $58,748 and $124,084, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company charged against accumulated depletion the $10,000 deposit it had on the on Flat Creek lease as the option to drill on the property expired. In addition, during 2012, the Company determined that its interest in the Bond #3 well was commercially unproductive and the well was abandoned. The well’s cost basis of $47,866 was also charged against accumulated depletion pursuant to ASC Topic 932-360-40 “Extractive Activities.”  In addition, in 2012, the Company sold deep drilling rights on three of its leases for $28,880, which was credited against the costs of its proved oil and gas properties.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company has entered into a month-to-month lease agreement with Trio Gold for an office in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
The effective tax rate on the net loss before income taxes differs from the U.S. statutory rate as follows:

The net change in the valuation allowance for 2012 was $(1,328,151).
 
The Company’s net operating loss for income tax reporting purposes was significantly impacted by the change in control which occurred on October 30, 2012. The Company has a net operating loss carryover at December 31, 2012 of approximately $92,000 that is available to offset future income for income tax reporting purposes, which will expire in various years through 2032, if not previously utilized. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company utilized against its net taxable income net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $122,000.
 
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, formerly FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The Company had no material unrecognized income tax assets or liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The Company’s policy regarding income tax interest and penalties is to expense those items as general and administrative expense but to identify them for tax purposes. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no income taxes, or related interest and penalty items in the income statement, or liability on the balance sheet. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions.

NOTE 8 - FAIR VALUE

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of related party payables and stockholder loans. The Company believes all of the financial instruments’ recorded values approximate fair market value because of their nature and respective durations.

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”).  ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements. ASC 820-10-35, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures - Subsequent Measurement” (“ASC 820-10-35”), clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. ASC 820-10-35 also requires that a fair value measurement reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available. Assumptions include the risks inherent in a particular valuation technique (such as a pricing model) and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the model.  The Company also follows ASC 825 “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” previously referred to as FAS 107-1 to expand required disclosures.

ASC 820-10-35 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques 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 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10-35 are described below:

Level 1. Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that an entity has the ability to access.

Level 2. Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3. Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company utilizes the best available information in measuring fair value. The following table summarizes, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of follows:

On March 1, 2013, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Goldfield International Inc. (“Goldfield”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Goldfield in exchange for issuing 2,000,000 shares of its common stock to the sole shareholder of Goldfield. In addition, the Company also entered into an agreement with Goldfield’s sole shareholder to acquire personal goodwill for $100,000, of which $33,000 is due on April 1, 2013, $33,000 is due on May 1, 2013 and $34,000 is due on June 1, 2013.
 
In March 2013, the Company commenced the sale of a minimum of 2,300,000 units and a maximum of 9,100,000 units through a private offering to accredited investors. Each unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and a 5-year warrant to purchase 50% of one share of common stock exercisable at no cost when the market value of the Company’s common stock first equals or exceeds $1.50 per share. The cost of each unit is $0.25 and the minimum investment is $10,000 (40,000 units). All funds received from the sale of the units will be placed in escrow and will be released to the Company upon the initial sale of 2,300,000 units for a gross amount of $575,000. The offering provides for compensation to registered brokers-dealers and other qualified finders a placement fee equal to 12% of the amount the respective placement agent raises payable in cash, an additional 15% of the amount raised payable in the Company’s warrants, and a reasonable expense allowance.
