NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 -
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation
The condensed unaudited interim financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The condensed financial statements and notes are presented as permitted on Form 10-Q and do not contain information included in the Companys annual statements and notes. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2012 audited financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in our Form 10-K. While management believes the procedures followed in preparing these condensed financial statements are reasonable, the accuracy of the amounts are in some respects dependent upon the facts that will exist, and procedures that will be accomplished by the Company later in the year.
These condensed unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has had recurring losses, large accumulated deficits, is dependent on the shareholder to provide additional funding for operating expenses, is in the exploration stage, and has no recurring revenues. These items raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
In view of these matters, realization of the assets of the Company is dependent upon the Companys ability to meet its financial requirements and the success of future operations. The management of the Company plans to raise additional funds through loans from its shareholders or the issuance of stock.

General Overview
We are an exploration stage company engaged in the search of mineral deposits that can be developed to a state of commercially viable producing mine. We owned a 100% interest in ten mineral claims comprising 4,826.46 hectares known as the Ruth Lake Property located 25 kilometers from Lac La Hache, British Columbia, Canada. However, on November 4, 2012, we allowed nine of the mineral claims to lapse due to the high associated maintenance costs. We then reclaimed four of the nine claims, which four mineral claims are in good standing until November 5, 2013. There is no guarantee of locating a deposit of some mineral product that could result in a producing mine. However, we are of the opinion that the location of the mining property is such as to warrant retention of a portion of the claims that originally comprised the Ruth Lake Property for further exploration.
The property is situated within the Quesnel Trough, a geologic belt that hosts numerous base and precious metal deposits along with current and formerly producing mines. It is located 10 kilometres northeast of GWR Resources Incs Lac La Hache property where ongoing exploration continues to delineate porphyry copper-gold-silver/skarn, copper-magnetite-gold-silver deposits and is situated between producing mines at Imperial Metals Corporations Mt. Polley copper-gold mine and New Gold Inc.'s New Afton copper-gold project (Teck-Cominco Ltds legendary Afton mine).
The terrain in the area in which our mineral properties are located is well forested with rolling hills, and elevations ranging from 915-1525 meters. The climate is generally dry with a warm summer and a cold winter. Precipitation ranges from 42-62 centimeters per year with up to 30 centimeters occurring as snow. While some exploration work such as trenching and drilling could be carried out all year long, generally, exploration in the area is limited to an eight month period running from April to October. Any exploration programs would be carried out during this eight month period. The area has an excellent infrastructure in place with a skilled workforce, rail, roads and power capacity.
As our directors and officers have no professional training or technical credentials in the field of geology, and specifically in the areas of exploring, developing and operating mining properties, we will have to retain the services of various professionals and technicians in the mining industry to provide such expertise. Accordingly, we have, and will continue to retain the services of geologists and engineers to advise and assist us in the exploration of our acquired interest in mineral claims.
The Ruth Lake Property has not received as much exploration as some of the surrounding properties, such as GWR Resources Inc.s Lac La Hache Property. What prior exploration has taken place on or near this property has provided indications that the area has the potential to host a copper-gold deposit or a molybdenite deposit. We utilized the services of geologists to interpret a recent airborne geophysical survey of the area and the existing geological information in relation to the Ruth Lake Property to identify target areas
and make recommendations for the further exploration of the property. Based on our geologists recommendation, an initial exploration program of approximately $50,000 CAD was carried on the Ruth Lake Property, which involved the taking of soil geochemical samples on a regional grid with fill in samples where indicated by anomalous values. Each target area was then explored by geochemical soil sampling and prospecting. Anomalous cooper-in-soil was detected near the edge of one target area and cooper mineralization was sighted along a newly constructed logging road near this area. In addition to the results of the exploration program, historic assessment reports relating to the southern part of the property reported sporadic molybdenite-in-soil geochemical anomalies over a north-south length of 750 metres. Molybdenite and small amounts of chalcopyrite were described as disseminations and fracture fillings in altered, silicified and locally quartz veined granite float and bedrock. While some drilling was performed, there are no records of results. Based on the results of our initial exploration program and the historic data on the property, we believe that further exploration is warranted for the Ruth Lake Property. A work program was to have been carried out in late fall of 2008, then the summer of 2009; however, such exploration was subsequently delayed pending the results of the exploration work that was to have been carried out on various large parcels of the Ruth Lake Property under option agreements entered into by the Company with other junior mining companies.
In our efforts to further the exploration and development of this large tract of acquired mineral claims, we have continuously reviewed the possibility of participating in some form of joint venture or option arrangement with other entities on a portion of these mineral claim holdings. Accordingly, since acquiring this property, we have entered into various arrangements with other companies to carry out exploration work on various mineral claims that comprise the Ruth Lake Property. At present, we have no option agreements or other arrangements with any party for the exploration of this property. We currently have no exploration planned for the Ruth Lake Property in 2013.
We have been able to maintain our remaining interest in the Ruth Lake Property through the conduct of exploration and development work programs, by ourselves and others, and then filing assessment reports of the exploration work for credit towards the maintenance costs plus paying cash in lieu of exploration work as required. All of the mining claims currently comprising the Ruth Lake Property are in good standing.
On August 26, 2011, we entered into an agreement with MSM Resource, L.L.C. ("MSM"), a Nevada limited liability company, under which the Company was granted an option to acquire a 100% interest in eighteen mineral claims located in the Silver Star Mining District, Mineral County, Nevada (the "Chucker Property"). We could earn a 100% interest in the claims, upon exercise of the option, by issuing a total of 3,000,000 shares of its common stock to MSM over a period of three years, and by paying a total of $250,000 plus carrying out a $2,000,000 exploration and development program on the claims over a six year period. Upon Beeston acquiring the Chucker Property, the claims would be subject to a royalty of 2% of net smelter returns payable to MSM up to a maximum royalty payment of $5,000,000. The Company could also reduce the royalty to 1% with a maximum royalty payment to $2,500,000 by payment of $1,000,000 to MSM within a limited time period of seventy-five months. In addition, in the event the Company exercised its option and acquired the Chucker Property, we would be required to pay an annuity of $50,000 to MSM commencing at the end of the seventh year and on the anniversary thereof in every year for a total of seventeen years. The option under the option agreement with MSM could be terminated by us at any time upon thirty (30) days notice.
A geology report was to have been prepared and delivered to Beeston under the aforesaid agreement. If it was acceptable to Beeston, ten (10) days after acceptance of the geology report, we would have been required to pay the sum of $20,000 and issue 1,000,000 shares of its common stock to MSM, all of which would form part of the option exercise price under the option agreement with MSM in the event the option was exercised by us.
On June 6, 2013, the Company gave notice to MSM that the Company was terminating the Option Agreement and the option thereunder, such termination to be effective July 7, 2013.
We are currently considering the acquisition of other gold/silver mineral properties.
Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this filing. Our unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.
The following provides selected financial data about our company for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Revenue
There were no revenues from operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. The reason for the large differences reported in the net income (loss) positions is due to the decrease in the market price of shares in the common stock of a junior mining company we received as part of a settlement of certain claims under an option agreement with the junior mining company. These shares became tradable July 17, 2012. We elected to account for receipt of the shares under the fair value option method of accounting which requires the securities to be marked to market every reporting period through the Statement of Operations. All of these shares have since been sold in the market.

We had cash of 6,005 as of June 30, 2013 as compared to cash of $3,190 as of December 31, 2012. We had a working capital deficit of $717 as of June 30, 2013 as compared to a working capital deficit of $43,887 as of December 31, 2012.
We will need to raise funds in order to cover our ongoing general operating costs as well as to facilitate the acquisition of additional mining properties, or an interest in such other mining properties and the exploration and development of such acquisitions or interest in mining properties in the near future.
In the past, we have raised funds by means of various equity financings. Recently, on March 4, 2013, our Board of Directors approved a private placement offering of 50,000,000 common shares of the Company at a price of $0.0025 per share, for total proceeds of $125,000. Proceeds under this private placement offering will be used to pay off debt due and owing by the Company to shareholders and to provide the company with working capital. As of the date of this report, we have issued a total of 47,360,000 shares having a total value of $118,399 under this private placement offering. This private placement offering has a termination date of September 30, 2013, unless extended by the Board of Directors.
We have also had to borrow funds from time to time in order to fund part of our ongoing operations. For some of this borrowing, we issued convertible debentures as security. All of the debt under these convertible debentures has since been converted into common shares of the Company. We have also raised funds and set off debt through the exercise of the share purchase warrants that were attached to these convertible debentures. A number of these share purchase warrants are still outstanding and remain another source of funds for the Company in the event they are exercised. On March 1, 2013, Beestons Board of Directors authorized and approved the extension of the expiry date for all share purchase warrants of the company that were still outstanding as of that date. All of the outstanding share purchase warrants now expire on December 31, 2014. The Company has not received any notices of election to exercise the right to purchase any shares of the Company under these outstanding warrants to date.
On occasion, we have also borrowed funds for working capital purposes from stockholders of the Company. As of June 30, 2013 there were no in loans outstanding to stockholders. All of the loans outstanding at the beginning of the current reporting period were paid during the current reporting period by-way of set-off against shares of common stock in the Company subscribed for by the stockholders who had made the loans to the Company. These loans were evidenced by promissory notes and were payable on demand and non-interest bearing. We currently have no agreement with any of our officers and directors or any of our shareholders for the provision of additional funding.
We also received shares in the common stock of a public trading junior mining company as part of a settlement of certain claims under an option agreement with the junior mining company. These shares were subsequently sold in the market and the proceeds from the sale were also used to fund the Companys ongoing operations.
We anticipate being able to raise the funds that are required for our ongoing operating, acquisitions and exploration costs by means of both further debt and equity funding. The equity funding would be in the form of our current and future private placement offering as well as the exercise of our outstanding warrants by the warrant holders. To the extent we are unable to raise additional funds, our participation in the exploration of our acquired mining properties as well as the acquisition of additional mining property interests will be delayed and/or we could be unable to continue to operate.
Cash Requirements
We estimate that our expenses over the next 12 months will be approximately $125,000 as described in the table below. These estimates may change significantly depending on the nature of our future business activities and our ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources.
We intend to commence exploration activities on our newly optioned properties over the next twelve months. We estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the next twelve month period to be as follows:

We are not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
These cash requirements are in excess of our current cash and working capital resources. As a result, we will require additional financing in order to pay for our anticipated ongoing expenditures as outlined above. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is no assurance that any party will advance additional funds to us in order to enable us to sustain our plan of operations or to repay our liabilities. We hope to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months through equity financing by way of a private placement offerings and/or through the exercise of the existing outstanding warrants held by our investors. We currently do not have any arrangements in place to complete any private placement financing and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financing on terms that will be acceptable to us or that the holders of our outstanding warrants will exercise the warrants.
Contractual Obligations
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.
Going Concern
Due to our limited amount of capital, recurring losses, negative cash flows from operations and our ability to pay outstanding liabilities, our previous independent auditors stated in their report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Since inception on July 12, 1999, we have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. As of June 30, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $2,268,282, with total stockholders deficit of $717. We had a working capital deficit of $717 at June 30, 2013.
Our company intends to fund operations through equity financing arrangements, which may be insufficient to fund its capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements for the next twelve months. The ability of our company to emerge from the
development stage is dependent upon, among other things, obtaining additional financing to continue operations, and development of its business plan. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our companys ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements included elsewhere in this report have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no 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 stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified certain accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Please refer to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC for our critical accounting policies, from which there has been no change as of the date of this file.
Item 3. Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risks
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide the information required by this Item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Managements Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our president (our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer (our principal financial officer and principle accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of our quarter covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our president (our chief executive officer and chief financial officer) of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our president (our chief executive officer and chief financial officer) concluded that, as of June 30, 2013, a material weakness exists in the Companys internal control procedures, in that one individual who, as an officer and director of the Company, has sole access and authority to receive cash and make cash disbursements. As such, our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013 were not effective.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our quarter ended June 30, 2013, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
