ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION

 

Dakota Creek Minerals Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 29, 2010, to explore mineral properties in North America.

 

Dakota Creek Minerals Inc. is engaged in the exploration for molybdenum and other minerals. The Company's Venus Molybdenum Property is located approximately 35 kilometers north of Vancouver BC, and about 2 kilometers north of the community of Britannia Beach, BC. The property is crossed by Highway 99, "The

Sea to Sky Highway" and the CN Railroad.

 

The Venus Molybdenum Property comprises one mineral claim totalling 62.12 hectares in area. The Venus molybdenum occurrence was discovered in the late 1960's and developed by a company known as Squamish Silica and Stone Co. Ltd. The occurrence is located about 250 meters northwest of Highway 99. We require an estimated total of $250,000 to implement the three phases of our exploration plan. We currently have a total of $40,000 to implement the first phase of our exploration program.

 

We are an exploration stage company and we have not realized any revenues to date. We have sufficient capital to enable us to commence our exploration program. We will require financing in order to conduct the exploration program described in the section entitled, "Business of the Issuer." Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, raising substantial doubt about Dakota's financial prospects and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We are not a "blank check company," as we do not intend to participate in a reverse acquisition or merger transaction. Securities laws define a "blank check company" as a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person.

 

Our offices are located at: 3300S 14st Suite 305 Abilene, Texas 97605

 

Presently our outstanding share capital is 30,000,000 common shares. We have no other type of shares either authorized or issued.

 

We have cash as at August 31, 2013 of $38,592 and have liabilities of $34,960. Since our inception we have incurred accumulated losses of $26,368. It is extremely unlikely we will earn any revenue for a minimum of 5 years. We do not have any employees either full or part time. Our director is employed as a contractor.

 

Dakota is responsible for filing various forms with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") such as Form 10-K and Form 10-Qs.

 

The shareholders may read and copy any material filed by Dakota with the SEC at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC, 20549. The shareholders may obtain information on the operations of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information which Dakota has filed electronically with the SEC by assessing the website using the following address: http://www.sec.gov . Dakota has no website at this time.

 

PLANNED BUSINESS

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the financial statements of Dakota and the notes, which forms an integral part of the financial statements, which are attached hereto.

 

 

 

The financial statements mentioned above have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are stated in United States dollars.

 

This Form 10-K also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY:

 

THE COMPANY HAS NEVER EARNED A PROFIT AND WE ARE CURRENTLY OPERATING UNDER A NET LOSS. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL EVER EARN A PROFIT.

 

Since inception (September 29, 2010) to the period ended on August 31, 2013 the Company has not generated any revenue. Rather, the Company incurred a net loss of $26,368 since inception (September 29, 2010) through August 31, 2013. The Company does not currently have any revenue producing operations. The Company is currently not operating profitably, and it should be anticipated that it will operate at a loss at least until such time when the production stage is achieved, if production is, in fact, ever achieved.

 

IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.

 

We will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income. We are an exploration stage company and we have not realized any revenues to date. We do not have sufficient capital to enable us to commence and complete our exploration program and based on our current operating plan, we do not expect to generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our expenses for at least the next twelve months. We will require financing in order to conduct the exploration program described in the section entitled, "Business of the Issuer." We need to raise $30,000 to complete the first phase of our exploration program and $250,000 to complete all three phases of our program. We do not have any arrangements for financing and we may not be able to find such financing if required. We will need to obtain additional financing to operate our business for the next twelve months, and if we do not our business will fail. We will raise the capital necessary to fund our business through a Prospectus and public offering of our common stock. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including investor acceptance of mineral claims and investor sentiment. These factors may adversely affect the timing, amount, terms, or conditions of any financing that we may obtain or make any additional financing unavailable to us.

 

OUR COMPANY WAS RECENTLY FORMED, AND WE HAVE NOT PROVEN THAT WE CAN GENERATE A PROFIT. IF WE FAIL TO GENERATE INCOME AND ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES MAY BE WORTHLESS.

 

We have no operating history and have not proved we can operate successfully. We face all of the risks inherent in a new business. If we fail, your investment in our common stock will become worthless. From inception (September 29, 2010) to the period ended on August 31, 2013, we incurred a net loss of $26,368 and did not earn any revenue. The Company does not currently have any revenue producing operations.

 

WE HAVE NO OPERATING HISTORY. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN OUR MINERAL EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES.

 

The Company has no history of operations. As a result of our brief operating history, there can be no assurance that that we will be successful exploring for molybdenum or other minerals. Our future performance will depend upon our management and its ability to locate and negotiate additional exploration opportunities in which we can participate. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in these efforts. Our inability to locate additional opportunities, to hire additional management and other personnel, or to enhance our management systems, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company's operations will be profitable.

 

 

 

WE ARE CONTROLLED BY CHRIS TESARSKI, OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, AND, AS SUCH, YOU MAY HAVE NO EFFECTIVE VOICE IN OUR MANAGEMENT.

 

Chris Tesarski, our sole Executive Officer Director, beneficially owns a significant interest in our issued and outstanding common stock. Mr. Tesarski may exercise control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the possible election of additional directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. If you purchase shares of our common stock, you may have no effective voice in our management.

 

WE ARE SOLELY GOVERNED BY CHRIS TESARSKI, OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, AND, AS SUCH, THERE MAY BE SIGNIFICANT RISK TO THE COMPANY OF A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

 

Chris Tesarski, our sole Executive Officer and Director, makes decisions such as the approval of related party transactions, the compensation of Executive Officers, and the overseeing of the accounting function. There will be no segregation of executive duties and there may not be effective disclosure and accounting controls to comply with applicable laws and regulations, which could result in fines, penalties and assessments against us. Accordingly, the inherent controls that arise from the segregation of executive duties may not prevail. In addition, Mr. Tesarski will exercise full control over all matters that typically require the approval of a Board of Directors. Mr. Tesarski's actions are not subject to the review and approval of a Board of Directors and, as such, there may be significant risk to the Company of a conflict of interest.

 

Our sole Executive Officer and Director exercises control over all matters requiring stockholder approval including the election of Directors and the approval of significant corporate transactions. Insofar as Chris Tesarski makes all decisions as to which projects the Company undertakes, there is a risk of a conflict of interest arising between the duties of Mr. Tesarski in her role as our sole Executive Officer and her own personal financial and business interests in other business ventures distinct and separate from the interests of the Company. His personal interests may not, during the ordinary course of business, coincide with the interests of the stockholders and, in the absence of the effective segregation of such duties, there is a risk of a conflict of interest. We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures. As such, stockholders have limited protections against the transactions implemented by Mr. Tesarski, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

 

We have not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other independent committees as we presently only have one independent director. Stockholders should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.

 

BECAUSE CHRIS TESARSKI, OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, HAS OTHER BUSINESS INTERESTS, HE MAY NOT BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WHICH MAY CAUSE OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.

 

It is possible that the demands on Chris Tesarski, our sole Executive Officer and Director, from other obligations could increase with the result that he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. Mr. Tesarski will devote fewer than 12-15 hours per month or 3-4 per week to the affairs of the Company. In addition, Mr. Tesarski may not possess sufficient time to manage our business if the demands of managing our business increased substantially.

 

CHRIS TESARSKI, OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, LACKS TECHNICAL TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE IN MINERAL EXPLORATION OR MINING, AND MAY NOT BE FULLY AWARE OF THE REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE MINING INDUSTRY.

 

The management of the Company, our sole executive officer and director, Mr. Tesarski, has no technical training or experience in minerals exploration or mining, or exploring for, starting, or operating a mine, and that with no direct training or experience in these areas, and as such, may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within the mining industry.

 

 

 

THE IMPRECISION OF MINERAL DEPOSIT ESTIMATES MAY PROVE ANY RESOURCE CALCULATIONS THAT WE MAKE TO BE UNRELIABLE.

 

Mineral deposit estimates and related databases are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, and analysis of drilling results and industry practices. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly change when new information becomes available. By their nature, mineral deposit estimates are imprecise and depend upon statistical inferences, which may ultimately prove unreliable. Mineral deposit estimates included here, if any, have not been adjusted in consideration of these risks and, therefore, no assurances can be given that any mineral deposit estimate will ultimately be reclassified as reserves. If the Company's exploration program locates a mineral deposit, there can be no assurances that any of such deposits will ever be classified as reserves.

 

CHRIS TESARSKI HAS NOT PHYSICALLY INSPECTED THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND DOES NOT HAVE CURRENT PLANS TO VISIT THE PROPERTY.

 

Mr. Tesarski has not visited the property, but has relied on property reports and other consultants who are knowledgeable with the property. With respect to the further exploration of the property, Mr. Tesarski does not have any current plans to visit the property but instead intends to hire various professionals and consultants to further explore the property as this work is required. As the Company will rely on third parties, the costs of exploration may be higher than if the Company and its employees engaged in the work themselves. By not visiting the property directly, Mr. Tesarski will be unable to personally verify the information and results that are presented by third parties.

 

WE ARE SENSITIVE TO FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRICE OF SEMI-PRECIOUS MINERALS, WHICH IS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. THE PRICE OF MOLYBDENUM IS VOLATILE AND PRICE CHANGES ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

 

The price of molybdenum and other minerals can fluctuate. The prices of molybdenum and other minerals have been and will continue to be affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control. Factors that affect the price of molybdenum include the demand from consumers for products that use molybdenum, economic conditions, over supply from secondary sources and costs of production. Price volatility and downward price pressure, which can lead to lower prices, could have a material adverse effect on the costs or the viability of our projects.

 

MINERAL EXPLORATION AND PROSPECTING IS A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND SPECULATIVE BUSINESS AND WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN SEEKING AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITIES.

 

The process of mineral exploration and prospecting is a highly competitive and speculative business. Individuals are not subject to onerous accreditation and licensing requirements prior to beginning mineral exploration and prospecting activities. As such, the company, in seeking available opportunities, will compete with numerous individuals and companies, including established, multi-national companies that have more experience and resources than the Company. The exact number of active competitors at any one time is heavily dependent on current economic conditions; however, statistics provided by the AEBC (The Association for Mineral Exploration, British Columbia), state that approximately 1000 mining companies operate in BC. Each one of these companies can be considered to be in competition with our company for mineral resources in British Columbia. Moreover, the Government of Canada at, http://mmsd1.mMr. nrcan.gc.ca/mmsd/exploration/default_e.asp, reports that in 2006, CDN $140.6 billion was spent in mineral exploration activities in British Columbia.

 

Because we may not have the financial and managerial resources to compete with other companies, we may not be successful in our efforts to acquire projects of value, which may, ultimately, become productive. However, while we compete with other exploration companies for the rights to explore other claims, there is no competition for the exploration or removal of mineral from our claims from other companies, as we have no agreements or obligations that limit our right to explore or remove minerals from our claim.

 

 

 

COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND PERMITTING COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE COSTS OR THE VIABILITY OF OUR PROJECTS. THE HISTORICAL TREND TOWARD STRICTER ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION MAY CONTINUE, AND, AS SUCH, REPRESENTS AN UNKNOWN FACTOR IN OUR PLANNING PROCESSES.

 

All mining is regulated by the government agencies at the Federal and Provincial levels of government in Canada. Compliance with such regulation has a material effect on the economics of our operations and the timing of project development. Our primary regulatory costs have been related to obtaining licenses and permits from government agencies before the commencement of mining activities. An environmental impact study that must be obtained on each property in order to obtain governmental approval to mine on the properties is also a part of the overall operating costs of a mining company.

 

The possibility of more stringent regulations exists in the areas of worker health and safety, the dispositions of wastes, the decommissioning and reclamation of mining and milling sites and other environmental matters, each of which could have an adverse material effect on the costs or the viability of a particular project. Compliance with environmental considerations and permitting could have a material adverse effect on the costs or the viability of our projects.

 

MINING AND EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES ARE SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE REGULATION BY FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS IN CANADA. ANY FUTURE CHANGES IN GOVERNMENTS, REGULATIONS AND POLICIES, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR A PARTICULAR PERIOD AND ITS LONG-TERM BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

 

Mining and exploration activities are subject to extensive regulation by government. Such regulation relates to production, development, exploration, exports, taxes and royalties, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection and remediation of the environment, mine and mill reclamation, mine and mill safety, toxic substances and other matters. Compliance with such laws and regulations has increased the costs of exploring, drilling, developing, constructing, operating mines and other facilities. Furthermore, future changes in governments, regulations and policies, could adversely affect the Company's results of operations in a particular period and its long-term business prospects.

 

The development of mines and related facilities is contingent upon governmental approvals, which are complex and time consuming to obtain and which, depending upon the location of the project, involve various governmental agencies. The duration and success of such approvals are subject to many variables outside the Company's control.

 

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OWNING OUR SHARES:

 

WE ANTICIPATE THE NEED TO SELL ADDITIONAL TREASURY SHARES IN THE FUTURE MEANING THAT THERE WILL BE A DILUTION TO OUR EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS RESULTING IN THEIR PERCENTAGE OWNERSHIP IN THE COMPANY BEING REDUCED ACCORDINGLY.

 

We expect that one of the only ways we will be able to acquire additional funds is through the sale of our common stock. This will result in a dilution effect to our shareholders whereby their percentage ownership interest in the Company is reduced. The magnitude of this dilution effect will be determined by the number of shares we will have to issue in the future to obtain the funds required.

 

BECAUSE OUR SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO PENNY STOCK RULES, YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY RESELLING YOUR SHARES.

 

The Company's common shares may be deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is defined in Regulation Section "240.3a51 -1" of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Penny stocks are stocks: (a) with a price of less than U.S. $5.00 per share; (b) that are not traded on a "recognized" national exchange; (c) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation system (NASDAQ - where listed stocks must still meet requirement (a) above); or (d) in issuers with net tangible assets of less than U.S. $2,000,000 (if the issuer has been in continuous

 

 

operation for at least three years) or U.S. $5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with average revenues of less than U.S. $6,000,000 for the last three years.

 

Section "15(g)" of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulation Section "240.15g(c)2" of the SEC require broker dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in the Company's common shares are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any common shares that are deemed to be "penny stock".

 

Moreover, Regulation Section "240.15g -9" of the SEC requires broker dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker dealer to: (a) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (b) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (c) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (d) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in the Company's common shares to resell their common shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose them of. Stockholders should be aware that, according to Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-29093, dated April 17, 1991, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:

 

(i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer

 

(ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases

 

(iii) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons

 

(iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers

 

(v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses

 

Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behaviour of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

 

There are no unresolved staff comments outstanding at the present time.

 

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

 

Dakota Creek Minerals Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 29, 2010. It was incorporated for the sole purpose of engaging in mineral exploration. It has always maintained the same business plan from inception to present. During the previous three years, the Company has not filed for bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding; and there has not been any material reclassification, merger, consolidation, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.

 

Dakota Creek Minerals Inc. is engaged in the exploration for molybdenum and other minerals. The Company's Venus Molybdenum Property is located approximately 35 kilometers north of Vancouver BC, and about 2 kilometers north of the community of Britannia Beach, BC. The property is crossed by Highway 99, "The Sea to Sky Highway" and the CN Railroad.

 

The Venus Molybdenum Property comprises one mineral claim totaling 62.12 hectares in area. The occurrence is located about 250 meters northwest of Highway 99. The Venus molybdenum occurrence was discovered in the late 1960's and developed by a company known as Squamish Silica and Stone Co. Ltd., which reported its findings to the BC Ministry of Mines in 1969. This information was subsequently published in the BC Ministry of Mines Report "Geology, Exploration and Mining in BC, 1969" page 194 which states the following:

 

Claim: Venus

Access: Highway no. 99 passes through the claim

Operator: Squamish Stone & Silica Co. Ltd. 8744 Joffre Avenue, Burnaby I.

Metals: Copper, Molybdenum

 

 

Work done: Two pits were dug in overburden; some stripping was done; and two trenches totaling 30 feet in length were cut in bedrock.

Description: Chalcopyrite and molybdenite occur as fracture-fillings in quartz porphyry.

 

The Company was incorporated for the purpose of exploring mineral claims in North America. The short-term strategy of the Company is to explore and further develop the Venus Molybdenum property and to explore its commercial viability. The long-term strategy of the Company is to continue to acquire additional mineral claims that complement its core business.

 

We are an exploration stage company and we cannot provide assurance to investors that our mineral claims contain a commercially exploitable mineral deposit, or reserve, until appropriate exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation based on such work concludes economic feasibility.

 

PROPERTY ACQUISITION DETAILS

 

Dakota Creek Minerals Inc. purchased the Venus Molybdenum Property for USD $15,000 on October 15, 2010. The Company owns 100% of the rights to the property. There are no underlying rights or royalties on this property. In British Columbia, the acquisition of mineral claims is done using an online application whereby a company or individual can stake claims online. A mineral tenure is granted the available subsurface rights at the time of issuance. For our property, the tenure includes all subsurface minerals, as there were no other tenures on the property at time of staking. The mineral rights expire on February 13, 2013. The tenure includes both mineral and placer mineral rights on the property. The details of the claim are provided below:

 

Tenure Number ID 949261 View Tenure
Tenure Type Mineral (M)
Tenure Sub Type Claim (C)
Title Type Mineral Cell Title Submission (MCX)
Good To Date 2013/feb/13
Claim Name DAKOTA CREEK CLAIMS
Area In Hectares 62.12
   
MAP NUMBERS: 092I

 

In order to keep these claims in good standing the Company must either complete and report work on the property or pay a renewal fee prior to the expiry date on February 13, 2013.

 

ACCESS

 

The Venus Molybdenum Property is located approximately 35 kilometres north of Vancouver BC, and about 2 kilometres north of the community of Britannia Beach, BC. The property is crossed by Highway 99, "The Sea to Sky Highway" and the CN Railroad. Access on the property is on foot from the highway following several trails and old logging roads. There is electrical power and an adequate water source approximately 250 meters from the claim. Two pits were dug in overburden, and two trenches totaling about 10 metres in length were cut into bedrock. There currently is no other infrastructure on the property.

 

TOPOGRAPHY, CLIMATE, VEGETATION

 

The Venus Molybdenum Property covers a mineralized area occurring at about 125 metres elevation. Large areas of the claims are underlain by outcropping bedrock in a "cliff and bench" topography derived from the joint structure in the granitic rocks. Pine, fir, hemlock, cedar, spruce, alder and maple trees, huckleberry buhes and moss are the prevailing vegetation found. Black bear, mountain goat, cougar, deer, wolf and a variety of rodents are found in the vicinity. The climate is generally moderate and wet, with the bulk of the moisture falling as rain from March to November and as occasional snowfall in the winter months.

 

 

 

Murrin Park covers Browning Lake, a popular swimming and fishing spot located beside Highway 99. Rock climbing is also a popular local recreation.

 

PROPERTY STATUS

 

The Venus Molybdenum Property comprises one mineral claim totaling 62.12 hectares. The part of the claim underlain by Murrin Park is not available for development. The park is approximately 10 ha. in size and has a popular highway-side picnic ground and small swimming lake (Browning Lake). It is immediately adjacent to the highway. The Venus Moly mineralized zones does not fall within the boundaries of the park.

 

PREVIOUS WORK

 

The Venus Molybdenum Property was discovered in the late 1960's. In 1969, a company known as Squamish Silica and Stone Co. Ltd. explored the Venus molybdenum occurrence, said to be located about 250 metres northwest of Highway 99. In 1969, Squamish Silica and Stone Co. Ltd. reported that chalcopyrite and molybdenite were seen to occur as fracture fillings in a series of quartz porphyry outcrops located about 250 metres northwest of Highway 99. Two pits were dug in overburden, and two trenches totaling about 10 metres in length were cut into bedrock. The location of these workings is presently unknown.

 

AREA GEOLOGICAL OVERVIEW

 

The Venus Molybdenum Property hosts molybdenum and copper mineralization within a quartz porphyry granitic intrusive. This "porphyry copper-moly" type of deposit can be very large and economically significant.

 

MOLYBDENUM

 

MOLYBDENUM is a silvery metal with the sixth-highest melting point of any element. It readily forms hard, stable carbides, and for this reason it is often used in high-strength steel alloys. Molybdenum does not occur as a free metal on Earth, but rather in various oxidation states in minerals. Industrially, molybdenum compounds are used in high-pressure and high-temperature applications, as pigments and catalysts. Molybdenum minerals have long been known, but the element was "discovered" in 1778 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele. The metal was first isolated in 1781 by Peter Jacob Hjelm.

 

The world's largest producers of molybdenum materials are the United States, China, Chile, Peru and Canada. Though molybdenum is found in such minerals as wulfenite and powellite, the main commercial source of molybdenum is molybdenite. Molybdenum is mined as a principal ore, and is also recovered as a byproduct of copper and tungsten mining. Large mines in Colorado and in British Columbia yield molybdenite as their primary product, while many porphyry copper deposits such as the Bingham Canyon Mine in Utah and the Chuquicamata mine in northern Chile produce molybdenum as a byproduct of copper mining.

 

The ability of molybdenum to withstand extreme temperatures without significantly expanding or softening makes it useful in applications that involve intense heat, including the manufacture of armour, aircraft parts, electrical contacts, industrial motors and filaments. Molybdenum is also used in steel alloys for its high corrosion resistance and weldability. Because of its lower density and more stable price, molybdenum is sometimes used instead of tungsten.

 

REGIONAL GEOLOGY

 

The general upper Howe Sound area is underlain by northwest-trending belts of Lower Cretaceous (~100 my) Gambier Group marine volcanic and sedimentary rocks, intruded by various plutons and dike swarm complexes of dioritic to granodioritic composition. Typical suites of mineralization occur with Gambier Group and intrusive rocks. Small outliers or vent complexes of the Late Tertiary to Recent Garabaldi Group volcanics occur north of the property at Watts Point and west of Squamish.

 

 

 

Within the Gambier Group rocks, syn-genetic volcanogenic mineralization has formed from "black smokers" on the sea floor, resulting in minor occurrences and rarely major orebodies containing copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver.

 

The intrusive rocks belong to the Coast Plutonic Complex, a group of diverse intrusives of various ages and composition. In particular, the Lower Cretaceous Squamish Pluton is composed of granodiorite to quartz porphyry and occupies much of the upper part of Howe Sound, including the Venus Molybdenum property area. The "porphyry copper-moly" style of deposit has been found at several places within intrusive rocks of the Howe Sound area.

 

PROPERTY GEOLOGY

 

The Venus Molybdenum Property is underlain by the Lower Cretaceous aged Squamish Pluton, varying from granodiorite to quartz porphyry in composition. In 1969, Squamish Silica and Stone Co. Ltd. reported that chalcopyrite and molybdenite were seen to occur as fracture fillings in a series of quartz porphyry outcrops located about 250 metres northwest of Highway 99. Past exploration includes two pits dug in overburden, and two trenches totaling about 10 metres in length were cut into bedrock. The location of these workings is presently unknown.

 

OVERVIEW OF THE EXPLORATION AND MINING PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPANIES

OPERATING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.

 

Two types of applications can be made to obtain a Mines Act Permit:

 

* EXPLORATION AND SMALL MINES

- A `Notice of Work' (NOW) is filed with the Mining Operations Branch District Manager for coal or mineral exploration programs and for approvals of placer mining, or sand and gravel pits and quarries in accordance with the Act.

 

* MAJOR MINES

- A detailed `Mine Plan and Reclamation Program' must be submitted to the Mining Operations Branch Regional Manager for proposed coal or hardrock mineral mines, major expansions or modifications of producing coal and hardrock mineral mines, and large pilot projects, bulk samples, trial cargoes or test shipments. Information requirements for these applications are summarized in the Act. Mines Act permit applications are required whether or not proposed developments fall under the Environmental Assessment Act ("EAA").

 

Permit applications for projects under the EAA may be submitted concurrently with the Project Report; however, a Project Approval Certificate must be obtained prior to Mines Act permit issuance. No work is permitted on a mine site without a valid Mines Act Permit.

 

MAJOR MINE PERMIT APPLICATION INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS

 

In general, the information requirements under the Code for a Major Mine Mines Act permit application include the following:

 

1. a map or airphoto showing the location and extent of the mine;

2. particulars of the design, construction, operation and closure of mine components, taking into consideration the safety of the public, mine workers, and the protection of the environment;

3. particulars of the nature and present uses of the land to be used for the mine;

4. particulars of the nature of the mine and the extent of the area to be occupied by the mine;

5. a program for the protection and reclamation of the land and watercourses during the construction and operational phases of the mining operation;

6. a conceptual final reclamation plan for the closure or abandonment of the mining operation;

7. an estimate of the annual cost of outstanding reclamation obligations over the planned life of the mine including the cost of long-term monitoring and abatement; and

8. any other relevant information that may be required by an Inspector.

 

 

 

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 

The Venus Molybdenum Property is located approximately 35 kilometres north of Vancouver BC, and about 2 kilometres north of the community of Britannia Beach, BC. The property is crossed by Highway 99, "The Sea to Sky Highway" and the CN Railroad.

 

The Venus Molybdenum Property comprises one mineral claim totaling 62.12 hectares in area. The Venus molybdenum occurrence was discovered in the late 1960's and developed by a company known as Squamish Silica and Stone Co. Ltd. The occurrence is located about 250 metres northwest of Highway 99.

 

In 1969, Squamish Silica and Stone Co. Ltd. reported to the BC Ministry of Mines that chalcopyrite and molybdenite were seen to occur as fracture fillings in a series of quartz porphyry outcrops located about 250 metres northwest of Highway 99. In 1969, two pits were dug in overburden, and two trenches totaling about 10 metres in length were cut into bedrock. The location of these workings is presently unknown.

 

A proposed work program includes prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling of any mineralized surface showings, construction of a control grid, geochemical soil sampling, and geophysical surveys. Based on a compilation of these results, a diamond drill program would be designed to explore and define the potential resources. The anticipated costs of this development are presented in three results-contingent stages.

 

PHASE 1 Reconnaissance geological mapping, prospecting and petrographic rock sampling, fly camp and helicopter support. $30,000
PHASE 2 Detailed geological mapping, rock sampling and petrography, grid construction, magnetometer survey, hand-trenching of showings, establish potential drill targets, fly camp and helicopter support 70,000
PHASE 3 500 metres of diamond drilling including geological supervision, rock petrography, rental of small fly-in excavator for machine trenching, fly camp and helicopter support 150,000
  TOTAL $250,000

 

COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION

 

We will be required to conduct all mineral exploration activities in accordance with government regulations. Such operations are subject to various laws governing land use, the protection of the environment, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, well safety and other matters. Unfavorable amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of resource exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a materially adverse impact and cause increases in capital expenditures which could result in a cessation of operations.

 

EMPLOYEES

 

At present, we have no employees. We anticipate that we will be conducting most of our business through agreements with consultants and third parties.

EMERGING GROWTH COMPANY STATUS UNDER THE JOBS ACT

 

Dakota Creek Minerals Inc. qualifies as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (the "JOBS Act").

 

The JOBS Act creates a new category of issuers known as “emerging growth companies." Emerging growth companies are those with annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion (as indexed for inflation) during their most recently completed fiscal year. The JOBS Act is intended to facilitate public offerings by emerging growth companies by exempting them from several provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and its regulations. An emerging growth company will retain that status until the earliest of:

 

* The first fiscal year after its annual revenues exceed $1 billion;

* The first fiscal year after the fifth anniversary of its IPO;

* The date on which the company has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the previous three-year period; and

* The first fiscal year in which the company has a public float of at least $700 million.

 

FINANCIAL AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS

 

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies are subject to scaled financial disclosure requirements. Pursuant to these scaled requirements, emerging growth companies may:

 

* Provide only two rather than three years of audited financial statements in their IPO Registration Statement;

* Provide selected financial data only for periods no earlier than those included in the IPO Registration Statement in all SEC filings, rather than the five years of selected financial data normally required;

* Delay compliance with new or revised accounting standards until they are made applicable to private companies; and

* Be exempted from compliance with Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires companies to receive an outside auditor's attestation regarding the issuer's internal controls.

 

OFFERING REQUIREMENTS

 

In addition, during the IPO offering process, emerging growth companies are exempt from:

 

* Restrictions on analyst research prior to and immediately after the IPO, even from an investment bank that is underwriting the IPO;

* Certain restrictions on communications to institutional investors before filing the IPO registration statement; and

 

 

 

* The requirement initially to publicly file IPO Registration Statements. Emerging growth companies can confidentially file draft Registration Statements and any amendments with the SEC. Public filings of the draft documents must be made at least 21 days prior to commencement of the IPO "road show."

 

OTHER PUBLIC COMPANY REQUIREMENTS

 

Emerging growth companies are also exempt from other ongoing obligations of most public companies, such as:

 

* The requirements under Section 14(i) of the Exchange Act and Section 953(b)(1) of the Dodd-Frank Act to disclose executive compensation information on pay-for-performance and the ratio of CEO to median employee compensation;

* Certain other executive compensation disclosure requirements, such as the compensation discussion and analysis, under Item 402 of Regulation S-K; and

* The requirements under Sections 14A(a) and (b) of the Exchange Act to hold advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute payments.

 

ELECTION UNDER SECTION 107(B) OF THE JOBS ACT

 

As an emerging growth company we have made the irrevocable election to not adopt the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 107(b), as added by Section 102(b), of the JOBS Act. This election allows companies to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to the historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

Our business plan is to proceed with the exploration of the Venus Molybdenum Property to determine whether there is any potential for molybdenum or other minerals located on the properties that comprise the mineral claim. If the Company is successful in raising adequate capital through private placements or debt financing, the Company anticipates completing the first phase in Spring 2014 and commencing the Second and Third phases in Summer and Fall 2014. We have decided to proceed with the exploration program recommended by the geological report. A proposed work program includes prospecting, geological mapping and rock sampling of any mineralized surface showings, construction of a control grid, geochemical soil sampling, and geophysical surveys. Based on a compilation of these results, a diamond drill program would be designed to explore and define the potential resources. The anticipated costs of this development are presented in three results-contingent stages.

 

 

 

PHASE 1 Reconnaissance geological mapping, prospecting and petrographic rock sampling, fly camp and helicopter support. $30,000
PHASE 2 Detailed geological mapping, rock sampling and petrography, grid construction, magnetometer survey, hand-trenching of showings, establish potential drill targets, fly camp and helicopter support 70,000
PHASE 3 500 metres of diamond drilling including geological supervision, rock petrography, rental of small fly-in excavator for machine trenching, fly camp and helicopter support 150,000
  TOTAL $250,000

 

We anticipate that the three phases of the recommended geological exploration program will cost approximately $30,000, $70,000 and $150,000, respectively. We had $38,592 in cash reserves as of August 31, 2013. The lack of cash has kept us from conducting any exploration work on the property. If the Company is unsuccessful in raising the capital to commence its exploration program, the Company will be required to pay a government fee of $1,300 in order to keep the claims valid. The Company currently has enough cash on hand to pay this fee.

 

We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next twelve months:

 

 

* $1,300 to be paid to the British Columbia Provincial Government to keep the claims valid on or before February 13, 2014;

* $30,000 in connection with the completion of Phase 1 of our planned geological work program;

* $70,000 in connection with the completion of Phase 2 of our planned geological work program;

* $150,000 for Phase 3 of our planned geological work program; and

* $6,600 for operating expenses, including professional legal and accounting expenses associated with compliance with the periodic reporting requirements after we become a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but excluding expenses of the offering.

 

If we determine not to proceed with further exploration of our mineral claims due to a determination that the results of our initial geological program do not warrant further exploration or due to an inability to finance further exploration, we plan to pursue the acquisition of an interest in other mineral claim. We anticipate that any future acquisition would involve the acquisition of an option to earn an interest in a mineral claim as we anticipate that we would not have sufficient cash to purchase a mineral claim of sufficient merit to warrant exploration. This means that we might offer shares of our stock to obtain an option on a property. Once we obtain an option, we would then pursue finding the funds necessary to explore the mineral claim by one or more of the following means: engaging in an offering of our stock; engaging in borrowing; or locating a joint venture partner or partners.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

We have not yet earned any revenues. We anticipate that we will not earn revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production, if any, of our mineral properties. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such resources are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of our mineral properties.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The company had current assets of $38,592 consisting only of cash as of August 31, 20132. The Company has incurred a net loss of $26,368 for the period from inception to August 31, 2013. Income represents all of the company's revenue less all its expenses in the period incurred. The Company has no revenues as of August 31, 2013 and has incurred expenses of $26,368 since inception. Liabilities are made up of current and long-term liabilities. The company issued to the founder 30,000,000 common shares of stock for $30,000. As of August 31, 2013, there are Thirty Million (30,000,000) shares issued and outstanding at a value of $0.001 per share. There are no preferred shares authorized. The Company has no stock option plan, warrants or other dilutive securities.

 

 

 

With its current assets, the Company can remain operational through 2014 if it does not complete Phase 1 of its program and only pays the government fees to keep the claims valid.

 

However, the Company plans to raise the capital necessary to fund our business through a private placement and public offering of our common stock. The Company intends to work directly with private placees. The Company anticipates that they will have either a private placement or additional funding from its founder by late Spring 2014 in order to conduct its operations.

 

Based on our current operating plan, we do not expect to generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our expenses for at least the next twelve months. In addition, we do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to execute our operations for at least the next twelve months. We will need to obtain additional financing to operate our business for the next twelve months. We will raise the capital necessary to fund our business through a private placement and public offering of our common stock. Additional financing, whether through public or private equity or debt financing, arrangements with stockholders or other sources to fund operations, may not be available, or if available, may be on terms unacceptable to us. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital. If we issue additional equity securities to raise funds, the ownership percentage of our existing stockholders would be reduced. New investors may demand rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. Debt incurred by us would be senior to equity in the ability of debt holders to make claims on our assets. The terms of any debt issued could impose restrictions on our operations. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short or long-term capital requirements, our operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected and we could be forced to cease operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

 

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

MARKET INFORMATION

 

There are no common shares subject to outstanding options, warrants or securities convertible into common equity of our Company. Presently, there are no shares being offered to the public and no shares have been offered pursuant to an employee benefit plan or dividend reinvestment plan.

 

Currently our shares are not traded. In order to be eligible to trade in the future, we must remain current in our filings with the SEC; being as a minimum Forms 10-Q and 10-K. Securities already quoted that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their filing during that time.

 

In the future our common stock trading price might be volatile with wide fluctuations. Things that could cause wide fluctuations in our trading price of our stock could be due to one of the following or a combination of several of them:

 

* Our variations in our operations results, either quarterly or annually;

* Trading patterns and share prices in other exploration companies which our shareholders consider similar to ours;

* The exploration results on the Property, and

* Other events which we have no control over.

 

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market prices for thinly traded companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These wide fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our shares regardless of our future performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a security, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against such company. Such litigation, if instituted, whether successful or not, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditions.

 

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

 

The company had no independent accountant review of the financial statements attached to this Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2013 and 2013 and from inception (September 29, 2010) to August 31, 2013, in accordance with Rule 3-11 of Regulation S-X.

 

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENT WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

 

None

 

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company currently has no revenues. The Company's financial instruments are comprised of payables which are subject to normal credit risks.

 

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of August 31, 2013 (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date as a result of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting discussed below.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified below, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013 fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in all material respects.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal control over financial reporting is a process, under the supervision of the management, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company's financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Internal control over financial reporting 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 the financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Board of 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, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, 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.

 

The Company's management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control –Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). As a result of this assessment, management identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

The material weakness identified is described below.

 

1.Certain entity level controls establishing a “tone at the top” were considered material weaknesses.  As of August 31, 2013, the Company did not have a separate audit committee or a policy on fraud.  A whistleblower policy is not necessary given the small size of the organization.

 

2.Due to the significant number and magnitude of out-of-period adjustments identified during the year- end closing process, management has concluded that the controls over the period-end financial reporting process were not operating effectively. A material weakness in the period-end financial reporting process could result in us not being able to meet our regulatory filing deadlines and, if not remediated, has the potential to cause a material misstatement or to miss a filing deadline in the future. Management override of existing controls is possible given the small size of the organization and lack of personnel.

 

3.There is no system in place to review and monitor internal control over financial reporting. The Company maintains an insufficient complement of personnel to carry out ongoing monitoring responsibilities and ensure effective internal control over financial reporting.

 

As a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, the Company's management has concluded that, as of August 31, 2013, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. We were not required to have, nor have we, engaged our independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this Annual Report.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

There were no changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could affect its disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the Evaluation Date, nor any deficiencies or material weaknesses in such disclosure controls and procedures requiring corrective actions.

 

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

 

There are no matters required to be reported upon under this Item.

A beneficial owners of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares.  Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares).  In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided.  In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights.  As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on August 31, 2013.  As of August 31, 2013, there were, 30,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

 

Holders of Common shares

 

As of the date of this Form 10-K the Company had 32 shareholders including the officers and directors.  The number of shares held by the officers and directors are 10,000,000 common shares.

 

Market Information

 

Dakota Creek’s stock is not presently traded or quoted on any public market and therefore there is no established market price for the shares. Subsequent to the Effective Date of Dakota Creek’s registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, it is anticipated one or more broker dealers may make a market in its securities over-the-counter, with quotations carried on the “OTC Bulletin Board”.    At the present time, there is no established market for the shares of Dakota Creek. There is no assurance an application to the FINRA will be approved. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements per se, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC; being as a minimum Forms 10-Q and 10-K.  Market makers will not be

 

 

permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet these filing requirements. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be moved following a 30 or 60 day grace period if they do not make their filing during that time. If our common stock is not quoted on the OTCBB, there will be no market for trading in our common stock.

 

There are no common shares subject to outstanding options, warrants or securities convertible into common equity of Dakota Creek. The number of shares presently subject to Rule 144 is 20,000,000 shares. The share certificate has the appropriate legend affixed thereto. Presently, under Rule 144, the number of shares which could be sold, if an application is made, is Nil shares.  There are no shares being offered pursuant to an employee benefit plan or dividend reinvestment plan. In addition, there are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase common shares or shares convertible into common shares of Dakota Creek.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to support our operations and finance the growth and development of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors

 

Equity Compensation Plans

 

There are no securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans or individual compensation arrangements.

 

Penny Stock Rule

 

Dakota Creek’s common stock is considered to be a “penny stock” because it meets one or more of the definitions in SEC Rule 3a51-1:

 

     
(i)   It has a price less than five dollars per share;
     
(ii)   It is not traded on a recognized national exchange;
     
(iii)   It is not quoted on a FINRA automated quotation system (NASDAQ), or even if so, has a price of less than five dollars per share; or
     
(iv)   It is issued by a company with net tangible assets of less than $2,000,000, if in business more than three years continuously, or $5,000,000, if the business is less than three years continuously or with average revenues of less than $6,000,000 for the past three years.

 

A broker-dealer will have to undertake certain administrative functions required when dealing win a penny stock transaction.  Disclosure forms detailing the level of risk in acquiring Dakota Creek’s shares will have to be sent to an interested investor, current bid and offer quotations will have to be provided with an indication as to what compensation the broker-dealer and the salesperson will be receiving from this transaction and a monthly statement showing the closing month price of the shares being held by the investor.  In addition, the broker-dealer will have to receive from the investor a written agreement consenting to the transaction.  This additional administrative work might make the broker-dealer reluctant to participate in the purchase and sale of Dakota Creek’s shares. 

 

From Dakota Creek’s point of view, being subject to the Penny Stock Rule could make it extremely difficult for it to attract new investors for future capital requirements since many financial institutions are restricted under their by-laws from investing in shares under a certain dollar amount. Ordinary investors might not be willing to subscribe to shares in the capital stock of Dakota Creek due to the uncertainty as to whether the share price will ever be able to be high enough that the Penny Stock Rule is no longer a concern.

 

 

 

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market prices for thinly traded companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of such companies. These wide fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our shares regardless of our future performance and that of Dakota Creek. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a security, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against such company. Such litigation, if instituted, whether successful or not, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditions.

 

Any new investor purchasing shares in our Company might consider whether they will be able to sell their shares at a given price since if no broker-dealer becomes involved with Dakota Creek and Dakota Creek is unable to raise future investment capital the price per share may deteriorate to a point that an investor’s entire investment could be lost.

 

Outstanding Stock Opinion, Purchase Warrants and Convertible Securities

 

Monarch has not issued any stock options to either of its two directors and officers nor has it attached share purchase warrants to the share issued and outstanding.   There are no convertible securities as of the date of this Form 10-K.  Dakota Creek has not registered any shares for sale by security holders under the Securities Act other than as disclosed in this Form 10-K.

 

Our authorized capital consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 30,000,000 shares are presently issued.

 

The holders of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by our Board of Directors; are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution upon winding up of the affairs our Company; and are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which shareholders may vote at all Meetings of the shareholders.

 

The shareholders are not entitled to preference as to dividends or interest; pre-emptive rights to purchase in new issues of shares; preference upon liquidation; or any other special rights or preferences.

 

There are no restrictions on dividends under any loan or other financing arrangements.

 

Non-Cumulative Voting.

 

The holders of our shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of such outstanding shares, voting for the election of Directors, can elect all of the Directors to be elected, if they so choose. In such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our Directors.

 

Employment Agreements

Registered Agent

 

We are required by Section 78.090 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”) to maintain a registered agent in the State of Nevada.  Our registered agent for this purpose is Sierra Corporate Services.  All legal process and any demand or notice authorized by law to be served upon us may be served upon our registered agent in the State of Nevada in the manner provided in NRS 14.020(2).

 

Transfer Agent

Rule 144 Share Restrictions 

 

Under Rule 144, an individual who is not an affiliate of our Company and has not been an affiliate at any time during the three months preceding a sale and has been the beneficial owner of our shares for at least six months would be entitled to sell them without restriction.   This is subject to the continued availability of current public information about us for the first year which can be eliminated after a one-year hold.

 

1.Whereas an individual who is deemed to be an affiliate and has beneficially owned shares in our Company for at least six months clan sell their shares in a given three month period as follows::
a.One percent of the number of shares of our Company's common stock then outstanding, which the case of our current directors and officers, will equal approximately 50,000 shares as of the date of this Form 10-K; or
b.The average weekly trading volume of our company's common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on form 144 with respect to the sale.
2.Under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, a reporting or non-reporting shell company cannot sell shares under Rule 144, unless the company: (i) has ceased to be a shell company; (ii) is subject to the Exchange Act reporting obligations; (iii) has filed all required Exchange Act reports during the preceding twelve months; (iv) and at least one year has elapsed from the time the company filed with the SEC, current Form 10 type information reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

 

ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISION

 

In accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada and the Securities Regulation Act.

 

The Chapter 78 of Nevada Revised Statutes contains a provision governing "acquisition of controlling interest."  This law provides generally that any person or entity that acquires 20% or more of the outstanding voting shares of a publicly-held Nevada corporation in the secondary public or private market may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless a majority of the disinterested shareholders of the corporation elects to restore such voting rights in whole or in part. The control share acquisition act provides that a person or entity

 

 

acquires "control shares" whenever it acquires shares that, but for the operation of the control share acquisition act, would bring its voting power within any of the following three ranges: 20 to 33 1/3%; 33 1/3 to 50%; or more than 50%.  

 

A "control share acquisition" is generally defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of either ownership or voting power associated with issued and outstanding control shares.  The shareholders or board of directors of a corporation may elect to exempt the stock of the corporation from the provisions of the control share acquisition act through adoption of a provision to that effect in the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation.  Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not exempt our common stock from the control share acquisition act.

 

The control share acquisition act is applicable only to shares of "Issuing Corporations" as defined by the Nevada law.  An Issuing Corporation is a Nevada corporation, which: has 200 or more shareholders, with at least 100 of such shareholders being both shareholders of record and residents of Nevada; and does business in Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation.

 

At this time, we do not have 100 shareholders of record resident of Nevada.  Therefore, the provisions of the control share acquisition act do not apply to acquisitions of our shares and will not until such time as these requirements have been met.  At such time as they may apply, the provisions of the control share acquisition act may discourage companies or persons interested in acquiring a significant interest in or control of us, regardless of whether such acquisition may be in the interest of our shareholders.

 

The Nevada "Combination with Interested Shareholders Statute" may also have an effect of delaying or making it more difficult to effect a change in control of us.  This statute prevents an "interested shareholder" and a resident domestic Nevada corporation from entering into a "combination," unless certain conditions are met.  The statute defines "combination" to include any merger or consolidation with an "interested shareholder," or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an "interested shareholder" having: an aggregate market value equal to 5 percent or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation; an aggregate market value equal to 5 percent or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or representing 10 percent or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation.

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Director Independence

 

Chris Tesarski and Kathy Sloan are not independent within the meaning of Section 5605 of NASDAQ.

 

Board Committees

 

The Audit Committee

 

We have an Audit Committee whose members consist of Chris Tesarski who is not independent.  Further, Chris Tesarski can be considered an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401 of Regulation S-K.  It is our intention to seek a financial expert but with limited funds to date we might not be able to in the near future.

 

Apart from the Audit Committee, we have no other Board Committees.  Since inception, our Board has conducted its business entirely by consent resolutions.

 

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

 

TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS

 

 

 

As of the date of this statement, the Company has entered into an agreement whereby it has sold 30,000,000 shares to its founder for total proceeds of $30,000. In addition, in August 2012, the Company received a shareholder loan of $34,960 interest free from its previous sole director. The loan currently remains outstanding as of August 31, 2013.

 

Outside of the above noted transactions, there are no, and have not been since inception, any other material agreements or proposed transactions, whether direct or indirect, with any of the following:

 

* Any of our directors or officers;

* Any nominee for election as a director;

* The principal security holder(s) identified in the preceding Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management " section; or

During the period from inception (September 29, 2010) to August 31, 2013 there were no other fees charged by the principal accountants other than those disclosed in (1) and (3) above.

 

(5) Audit Committee's Pre-approval Policies

(6) Audit Hours Incurred

 

The principal accountants did not spend greater than 50 percent of the hours spent on the accounting by Dakota's internal accountant.

Dakota Creek Minerals Inc.
(an exploration stage company)
Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements
For the Nine Months Ended August 31, 2013
(Expressed in U.S. Dollars)

 

1. INCORPORATION AND OPERATING ACTIVITIES

 

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 29, 2010 with authorized capital stock of 75,000,000 shares at $0.001 par value.

 

The Company was organized for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties.  At the report date mineral claims, with unknown reserves, had been acquired.  The Company has not established the existence of a commercially minable ore deposit and therefore has not reached the exploration stage and is considered to be in the pre-exploration stage

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Accounting Method

 

The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting.

 

Dividend Policy

 

The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

 

Basic net loss per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net loss per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise of the common share rights unless the exercise becomes anti-dilutive and then the basic and diluted per share amounts are the same. As of August 31, 2013 and 2012, no such common equivalent shares were excluded from net income (loss) per share.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to be reversed. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized.

     $26,368        $7,865   $(7,865)  $—   

 

 

 

 

The total valuation allowance as of August 31, 2013 was $7,865, which increased by $nil for the year ended August 31, 2013.

 

As of August 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has no unrecognized income tax benefits. The Company’s policy for classifying interest and penalties associated with unrecognized income tax benefits is to include such items as tax expense. No interest or penalties have been recorded during the years ended August 31, 2013 and 2012and no interest or penalties have been accrued as of August 31, 2013 and 2012. As of August 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any amounts recorded pertaining to uncertain tax positions.

 

The tax years from 2011 and forward remain open to examination by federal and state authorities due to net operating loss and credit carryforwards. The Company is currently not under examination by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authorities

.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

 

The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC 360-10-35-17 if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts might not be recoverable.   When the Company determines that an impairment analysis should be done, the analysis will be performed using rules of ASC 930-360-35, Asset Impairment, and 360-10-15-3 through 15-5, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

 

Foreign Currency Translations

 

The books of the Company are maintained in United States dollars and this is the Company’s functional and reporting currency. Transactions denominated in other than the United States dollar are translated as follows with the related transaction gains and losses being recorded in the Statement of Operations:

 

Monetary items are recorded at the rate of exchange prevailing as at the balance sheet date;

 

Non-Monetary items including equity are recorded at the historical rate of exchange; and

 

Revenues and expenses are recorded at the period average in which the transaction occurred.

 

Investments

 

Investments in companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors, including, among others, ownership level. Under the equity method of accounting, an investee company’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s Balance Sheets and Statements of Operations; however, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee company is reflected in the Company’s Statements of Operations and the Company’s carrying value in an equity method investee company is reflected in the Company’s Balance Sheets. The Company evaluates these investments for other-than-temporary declines in value each quarterly period. Any impairment found to be other than temporary would be recorded through a charge to earnings.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue from the sale of minerals will be recognized when a contract is in place and minerals are delivered to the customer.

 

 

 

Mineral claim acquisition and exploration costs

 

Costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. If the Company does not continue with exploration after the completion of the feasibility study, the mineral rights will be expensed at that time. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to mining costs including related property and equipment costs. To determine if these costs are in excess of their recoverable amount periodic evaluation of carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

 

Various factors could impact our ability to achieve forecasted production schedules. Additionally, commodity prices, capital expenditure requirements and reclamation costs could differ from the assumptions the Company may use in cash flow models from exploration stage mineral interests. This, however, involves further risks in addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence that the identified mineralized material can ultimately be mined economically.

 

Advertising and Market Development

 

The company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred.

 

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be their fair value due to their short term maturities.

 

Estimates and Assumptions

 

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with general accepted accounting principles.  Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses.   Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.

 

Statement of Cash Flows

 

For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Environmental Requirements

 

At the report date environmental requirements related to the mineral claim acquired are unknown and therefore any estimate of any future cost cannot be made.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of August 31, 2013 and 2012. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, prepaid expenses and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.

 

 

 

Level 1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are "quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities," with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets.

 

Level 2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputs that can be applied in three situations.

 

Level 3: If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as "unobservable," and limits their use by saying they "shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available." This category allows "for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date".

Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that "observable inputs" are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

3. ACQUISITION OF MINERAL CLAIM

 

During 2010 the Company acquired mineral claims for $15,000 known as the Venus Property.

 

The Venus Molybdenum Property is located approximately 35 kilometers north of Vancouver BC, and about 2 kilometers north of the community of Britannia Beach, BC. The property is crossed by Highway 99, "The Sea to Sky Highway" and the CN Railroad.

 

The Venus Molybdenum Property comprises one mineral claim totaling 62.12 hectares in area. The Venus molybdenum occurrence was discovered in the late 1960's and developed by a Company known as Squamish Silica and Stone Co. Ltd. The occurrence is located about 250 meters northwest of Highway 99.

 

The acquisitions costs have been impaired and expensed during 2011 because there had been no exploration activities nor had there been any reserves established and we could not project any future cash flows or salvage value and the acquisition costs were not recoverable. Please see ASC Topic 360 for Plant, Property, and Equipment and management analysis of Impairment.

 

4. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

In August 2012, the Company received an advance from its Director and officer for $34,960. The advance is without interest and there are no terms of repayment.

 

5. GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company does not have a sufficient working capital for its planned activity, and to service its debt, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital and the management of the Company has developed a strategy which it believes will accomplish this objective through short term loans from an officer-director, and additional equity investments, which will enable the Company to continue operations for the coming year. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might

 

 

result from this uncertainty. However, the Company is in the exploration stage and, accordingly, has not generated revenues from operations. As shown on the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $26,368 for the period since inception (September 29, 2010) to August 31, 2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
