Glossary of Mining Terms

 

Adit(s). Historic working driven horizontally, or nearly so into a hillside to explore for and exploit ore.

 

Adularia. A potassium-rich alteration mineral – a form of orthoclase.

 

Air track holes. Drill hole constructed with a small portable drill rig using an air-driven hammer.

 

BLEG sampling. Bulk leach sampling. A large sample of soil or rock that is leached using cyanide to determine gold and silver content down to a detection limit of as little as 1.0 parts per billion.

 

CSMT Survey. A Controlled Source Magneto-telluric geophysical method used to map the variation of the Earth’s resistance to conduct electricity by measuring naturally occurring electric and magnetic fields at the Earth’s surface.

 

Controlled Source Magneto-telluric Survey (CSMT). The recording of variations in a generated electrical field using sophisticated geophysical survey methods.

 

Core holes. A hole in the ground that is left after the process where a hollow drill bit with diamond chip teeth is used to drill into the ground. The center of the hollow drill fills with the core of the rock that is being drilled into, and when the drill is extracted, a hole is left in the ground.

 

Felsic Tertiary Volcanic Rocks. Quartz-rich rocks derived from volcanoes and deposited between two and sixty-five million years ago.

 

Geochemical sampling. Sample of soil, rock, silt, water or vegetation analyzed to detect the presence of valuable metals or other metals which may accompany them. For example, arsenic may indicate the presence of gold.

 

Geologic mapping. Producing a plan and sectional map of the rock types, structure and alteration of a property.

 

Geophysical survey. Electrical, magnetic, gravity and other means used to detect features, which may be associated with mineral deposits

 

Ground magnetic survey. Recording variations in the earth’s magnetic field and plotting same.

 

Ground radiometric survey. A survey of radioactive minerals on the land surface.

 

Leaching. Leaching is a cost effective process where ore is subjected to a chemical liquid that dissolves the mineral component from ore, and then the liquid is collected and the metals extracted from it.

 

Level(s). Main underground passage driven along a level course to afford access to stopes or workings and provide ventilation and a haulage way for removal of ore.

 

Magnetic lows An occurrence that may be indicative of a destruction of magnetic minerals by later hydrothermal (hot water) fluids that have come up along faults. These hydrothermal fluids may in turn have carried and deposited precious metals such as gold and/or silver.

 

Patented or Unpatented Mining Claims. In this Annual Report, there are references to “patented” mining claims and “unpatented” mining claims. A patented mining claim is one for which the United States government has passed its title to the claimant, giving that person title to the land as well as the minerals and other resources above and below the surface. The patented claim is then treated like any other private land and is subject to local property taxes. An unpatented mining claim on United States government lands establishes a claim to the locatable minerals (also referred to as stakeable minerals) on the land and the right of possession solely for mining purposes. No title to the land passes to the claimant. If a proven economic mineral deposit is developed, provisions of federal mining laws permit owners of unpatented mining claims to patent (to obtain title to) the claim. If one purchases an unpatented mining claim that is later declared invalid by the United States government, one could be evicted.

Plug. A vertical pipelike body of magma representing a volcanic vent similar to a dome.

 

Quartz Monzonite. A medium to coarse crystalline rock composed primarily of the minerals quartz, plagioclase and orthoclase.

 

Quartz Stockworks. A multi-directional system of quartz veinlets.

 

RC holes. Short form for Reverse Circulation Drill holes. These are holes left after the process of Reverse Circulation Drilling.

 

Resource. An estimate of the total tons and grade of a mineral deposit defined by surface sampling, drilling and occasionally underground sampling of historic diggings when available.

 

Reverse circulation drilling. A less expensive form of drilling than coring that does not allow for the recovery of a tube or core of rock. The material is brought up from depth as a series of small chips of rock that are then bagged and sent in for analysis. This is a quicker and cheaper method of drilling, but does not give as much information about the underlying rocks.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking information. Forward-looking information includes statements relating to future actions, prospective products, future performance or results of current or anticipated products, sales and marketing efforts, costs and expenses, interest rates, outcome of contingencies, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, business strategies, cost savings, objectives of management of Goldfields International Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company,” “Goldfields,” "American Goldfields" or “we”) and other matters. Forward-looking information may be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or may be incorporated by reference from other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Company. One can find many of these statements by looking for words including, for example, “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates” or similar expressions in this Annual Report on Form 10-K or in documents incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events.

 

The Company has based the forward-looking statements relating to the Company’s operations on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about the Company and the industry in which it operates. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we cannot predict. In particular, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements. Any differences could result from a variety of factors, including, but not limited to general economic and business conditions, competition, and other factors.

 

ITEM 1.     BUSINESS

 

Development of Business

 

Goldfields International Inc. (the “Company” or “we”), formerly American Goldfields Inc., is a natural resource exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of properties for deposits of gold or silver. We were incorporated on December 21, 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Since then, we have engaged primarily in the acquisition and exploration of mining interests in properties that may potentially have deposits of gold and silver. To date, we have not earned any revenues.

 

On March 10, 2010, we caused the incorporation of our wholly owned subsidiary, Goldmin Exploration Inc., (“Goldmin”) under the laws of Nevada.   

 

On March 9, 2012, the Company and a majority of the Company’s stockholders authorized a name change and a 1:100 reverse stock split of our common stock. On May 7, 2012, the Company filed an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation reflecting a name change to Goldfields International Inc. and the implementation to effect a one-for-one-hundred reverse stock split with all fractional shares being rounded up to the nearest whole share (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split was declared effective by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) on June 7, 2012. All share and per share amounts have been retrospectively restated to reflect the Reverse Split. Immediately following the reverse stock split, the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding decreased from 34,876,932 shares to 348,770 shares. 

 

Competition

 

The mineral exploration industry, in general, is intensively competitive and even if commercial quantities of ore are discovered, a ready market may not exist. Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

Compliance with Government Regulation and Regulatory Matters

 

We are required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in the United States. The federal government and various state and local governments have adopted laws and regulations regarding the protection of natural resources, human health and the environment. We will be required to conduct all exploration activities in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, below we identify some key regulations which have application to exploration or mining activities.

 

Mine Safety and Health

 

Our goal is to achieve industry leading mine safety and health performance by following the applicable mine safety and health regulations. In addition, the Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA") has issued numerous new policies and regulations which include, but are not limited to, emergency notification and response plans, increased fines for violations and additional training and mine rescue coverage requirements. Collectively, federal and state safety and health regulation in the mining industry is perhaps the most comprehensive and pervasive system for protection of employee health and safety governing any segment of U.S. industry.

 

Mining Control and Reclamation Regulations

 

The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 ("SMCRA") is administered by the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement ("OSM") and establishes mining, environmental protection and reclamation standards for all aspects of U.S. surface mining, as well as many aspects of underground mining. Mine operators must obtain SMCRA permits and permit renewals for mining operations from the OSM. Although state regulatory agencies have adopted federal mining programs under SMCRA, the state becomes the regulatory authority. States in which we expect to have active future mining operations have achieved primary control of enforcement through federal authorization.

 

SMCRA permit provisions include requirements for prospecting including mine plan development, topsoil removal, storage and replacement, selective handling of overburden materials, mine pit backfilling and grading, protection of the hydrologic balance, subsidence control for underground mines, surface drainage control, mine drainage and mine discharge control and treatment and re-vegetation.

 

The U.S. mining permit application process is initiated by collecting baseline data to adequately characterize the pre-mining environmental condition of the permit area. We will develop mine and reclamation plans by utilizing this geologic data and incorporating elements of the environmental data. Our mine and reclamation plans incorporate the provisions of SMCRA, state programs and complementary environmental programs which impact mining. Also included in the permit application are documents defining ownership and agreements pertaining to minerals, oil and gas, water rights, rights of way and surface land and documents required of the OSM’s Applicant Violator System, including the mining and compliance history of officers, directors and principal stockholders of the applicant.

 

Once a permit application is prepared and submitted to the regulatory agency, it goes through a completeness and technical review. Public notice of the proposed permit is given for a comment period before a permit can be issued. Some SMCRA mine permit applications take over a year to prepare, depending on the size and complexity of the mine and often take six months to two years to be issued. Regulatory authorities have considerable discretion in the timing of the permit issuance and the public has the right to comment on, and otherwise engage in, the permitting process including public hearings and intervention by the courts.

 

Surface Disturbance

 

All mining activities governed by the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") require reasonable reclamation. The lowest level of mining activity, "casual use," is designed for the miner or weekend prospector who creates only negligible surface disturbance (for example, activities that do not involve the use of earth-moving equipment or explosives may be considered casual use). These activities would not require either a notice of intent to operate or a plan of operation. For further information regarding surface management terms, please refer to 43 CFR Chapter II Subchapter C, Subpart 3809.

 

6
 

 

The second level of activity, where surface disturbance is 5 acres or less per year, requires a notice advising the BLM of the anticipated work 15 days prior to commencement. This notice must be filed with the appropriate field office. No approval is needed although bonding is required. State agencies must be notified to ensure all requirements are met.

 

For operations involving more than 5 acres total surface disturbance on lands subject to 43 CFR 3809, a detailed plan of operation must be filed with the appropriate BLM field office. Bonding is required to ensure proper reclamation. An Environmental Assessment (EA) is to be prepared for all plans of operation to determine if an Environmental Impact Statement is required. A National Environmental Policy Act review is not required for casual use or notice level operations unless those operations involve occupancy as defined by 43 CFR 3715. Most occupancies at the casual use and notice level in Arizona are covered by a programmatic EA.

 

An activity permit is required when use of equipment is utilized for the purpose of land stripping, earthmoving, blasting (except blasting associated with an individual source permit issued for mining), trenching or road construction.

 

Future legislation and regulations are expected to become increasingly restrictive and there may be more rigorous enforcement of existing and future laws and regulations and we may experience substantial increases in equipment and operating costs and may experience delays, interruptions or termination of operations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal fines or penalties, the acceleration of cleanup and site restoration costs, the issuance of injunctions to limit or cease operations and the suspension or revocation of permits and other enforcement measures that could have the effect of limiting production from our future operations.

 

Trespassing

 

The BLM will prevent abuse of public lands while recognizing valid rights and uses under the mining laws. The BLM will take appropriate action to eliminate invalid uses, including unauthorized residential occupancy. The Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA) has found that a claim may be declared void by the BLM when it has been located and held for purposes other than the mining of minerals. The issuance of a notice of trespass may occur if an unpatented claim/site is:

 

(1)used for a home site, place of business, or for other purposes not reasonably related to mining or milling activities;

 

(2)used for the mining and sale of leasable minerals or mineral materials, such as sand, gravel and certain types of building stone; or

 

(3)located on lands that for any reason have been withdrawn from location after the effective date of the withdrawal.

 

Trespass actions are taken by the BLM Field Office.

 

Environmental Laws

 

We may become subject to various federal and state environmental laws and regulations that will impose significant requirements on our operations. The cost of complying with current and future environmental laws and regulations and our liabilities arising from past or future releases of, or exposure to, hazardous substances, may adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, environmental laws and regulations, particularly relating to air emissions, can reduce our profitability. Numerous federal and state governmental permits and approvals are required for mining operations. When we apply for these permits or approvals, we may be required to prepare and present to federal or state authorities data pertaining to the effect or impact that a proposed exploration for, or production or processing of, may have on the environment. Compliance with these requirements can be costly and time-consuming and can delay exploration or production operations. A failure to obtain or comply with permits could result in significant fines and penalties and could adversely affect the issuance of other permits for which we may apply.

Clean Water Act

 

The U.S. Clean Water Act and corresponding state and local laws and regulations affect mining operations by restricting the discharge of pollutants, including dredged or fill materials, into waters of the United States. The Clean Water Act provisions and associated state and federal regulations are complex and subject to amendments, legal challenges and changes in implementation. As a result of court decisions and regulatory actions, permitting requirements have increased and could continue to increase the cost and time we expend on compliance with water pollution regulations. These and other regulatory requirements, which have the potential to change due to legal challenges, Congressional actions and other developments increase the cost of, or could even prohibit, certain current or future mining operations. Our operations may not always be able to remain in full compliance with all Clean Water Act obligations and permit requirements. As a result we may be subject to compliance orders and private party litigation seeking fines, penalties or changes to our operations.

 

Clean Water Act requirements that may affect our operations include the following:

 

Section 404

 

Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires mining companies to obtain U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“ACOE”) permits to place material in streams for the purpose of creating slurry ponds, water impoundments, refuse areas, valley fills or other mining activities.

 

Our construction and mining activities, including our surface mining operations, will frequently require Section 404 permits. ACOE issues two types of permits pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act: nationwide (or "general”) and “individual” permits. Nationwide permits are issued to streamline the permitting process for dredging and filling activities that have minimal adverse environmental impacts. An individual permit typically requires a more comprehensive application process, including public notice and comment, however an individual permit can be issued for ten years (and may be extended thereafter upon application).

 

The issuance of permits to construct valley fills and refuse impoundments under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, whether general permits commonly described as the Nationwide Permit 21 (NWP 21) or individual permits, has been the subject of many recent court cases and increased regulatory oversight. The results may materially increase our permitting and operating costs, permitting delays, suspension of current operations and/or prevention of opening new mines.

 

Employees

 

We have no employees as of the date of this report. Our Officers and Directors provide planning and organizational services for us on a part-time consulting basis. Any other services required will be conducted largely through consultants and third parties.

 

Research and Development Expenditures

 

We have not incurred any research or development expenditures since our incorporation.

 

Patents and Trademarks

 

We do not own any patents or trademarks.

ITEM 1A.      RISK FACTORS

 

Factors that May Affect Future Results

 

1. We will require additional funds to achieve our current business strategy and our inability to obtain funding will cause our business to fail.

 

Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the acquisition and exploration of natural resource properties. We will need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity sales in order to fund our operations and fulfill our contractual obligations. These financings may not be available when needed. Even if these financings are available, it may be on terms that we deem unacceptable or are materially adverse to your interests with respect to dilution of book value, dividend preferences, liquidation preferences, or other terms. Our inability to obtain financing would have an adverse effect on our ability to implement our current exploration and as a result, could require us to diminish or suspend our operations and possibly cease our existence. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market prices for the mineral property and silver and copper. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.

 

2. If we do not complete the required option payments and capital expenditure requirements mandated in any prospective agreements, we will lose our interest in that respective property and our business may fail.

 

If we do not make all of the property payments or incur the required expenditures in accordance with any prospective property option agreements, we will lose our option to purchase the respective property for which we have not made the payments and may not be able to continue to execute our business objectives if we are unable to find an alternate exploration interest. Our payment obligations are non-refundable and if we do not make required payments, we will lose all amounts previously paid and all our rights to the prospective property.

 

3. Because our Directors serve as Directors and Officers of other companies engaged in mineral exploration, a potential conflict of interest could negatively impact our ability to acquire properties to explore and to run our business.

 

Our Directors and Officers may work for other mining and mineral exploration companies. Due to time demands placed on our Directors and Officers, and due to the competitive nature of the exploration business, the potential exists for conflicts of interest to occur from time to time that could adversely affect our ability to conduct our business. The Directors' and Officers’ full-time employment with other entities limits the amount of time they can dedicate to us as a Director or Officer. Also, our Directors and Officers may have a conflict of interest in helping us identify and obtain the rights to mineral properties because they may also be considering the same properties. To mitigate these risks, we contract with several geologists in order to ensure that we are not overly reliant on any one of our Directors and Officers to provide us with geological services. However, we cannot be certain that a conflict of interest will not arise in the future. To date, there have not been any conflicts of interest between the Directors or Officers and the Company.

 

4. Because of the speculative nature of exploration and development, there is a substantial risk that our business will fail.

 

The search for valuable natural resources as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that the properties we option contain commercially exploitable reserves. Exploration for natural reserves is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing commercially feasible reserves. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.

 

5. Because we have not commenced business operations, we face a high risk of business failure due to our inability to predict the success of our business.

 

We are in the initial stages of acquisition and exploration of mineral claims, and thus have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be able to operate the business successfully. To date, we have been primarily involved in the acquisition and exploration of the mineral claims. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this report.

 

9
 

 

6. Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in mineral exploration and the mining business, we face a high risk of business failure.

 

Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by early-stage mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.

 

7. Because we anticipate our operating expenses will increase prior to our earning revenues, we may never achieve profitability.

 

Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the exploration of our mineral claims, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

 

8. Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mineral properties, there is substantial risk that no mineral deposits will be found and this business will fail.

 

The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the mineral claims may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.

 

9. Because the search for viable natural resources is extremely risky, no assurance can be made that we will obtain financing which will likely have a negative impact on our financial condition.

 

We are a natural resource exploration company with an objective of acquiring, exploring, and if warranted and feasible, exploiting natural resource properties.  The search for viable natural resources is extremely risky.  A critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence is the ability to obtain additional capital through equity and/or debt financing. Since inception, we have financed our cash flow requirements through private placement issuances of common stock and debt financing. No assurance can be made that such financing will be available, and if available it may take either the form of debt or equity, and will likely have a negative impact on our financial condition.

 

10. Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.

 

The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

 

 

11. Because access to our mineral claims may be restricted by inclement weather, we may be delayed in our exploration.

 

Access to our mineral properties may be restricted through some of the year due to weather in the area. As a result, any attempt to test or explore the property is largely limited to the times when weather permits such activities. These limitations can result in significant delays in exploration efforts. Such delays can have a significant negative effect on our results of operations.

 

10
 

 

12. We are heavily dependent on our CEO and President.  

 

Our success depends heavily upon the continued contributions of our CEO and President, whose knowledge, leadership and technical expertise would be difficult to replace. Our success is also dependent on our ability to retain and attract experienced engineers, geoscientists and other technical and professional staff.  We do not maintain any key man insurance. If we were to lose our CEO and President, our ability to execute our business plan would be harmed and we may be forced to cease operations until such time, if ever, as we could hire a suitable replacement.

 

13. Because our President has only agreed to provide his services on a part-time basis, he may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operations, causing our business to fail.

 

Mr. Beebe, our sole Officer, provides his management services to a number of companies. Because we are in the early stages of our business, Mr. Beebe will not be spending all of his time working for the Company. Mr. Beebe expects to expend approximately one day per week on our business. Later, if the demands of our business require the full business time of Mr. Beebe, he is prepared to adjust his timetable to devote more time to our business. However, it still may not be possible for Mr. Beebe to devote sufficient time to the management of our business, as and when needed, especially if the demands of Mr. Beebe’s other interests increase. Competing demands on Mr. Beebe’s time may lead to a divergence between his interests and the interests of other shareholders.

 

Risks Related To Legal Uncertainty and Regulations

 

14. As we undertake exploration of our mineral claims, we will be subject to compliance with government regulation that may increase the anticipated cost of our exploration program

 

There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral exploration. We will be subject to the federal, state and local laws as we carry out our exploration program. We may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with these laws. While our planned exploration program budgets for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out exploration program.

In order to earn a 100% interest in the Property, the Company must pay the Optionor and incur expenditures relating to exploration and mining operations in accordance with the following schedule: (i) on or before August 1, 2013, $20,000 to Optionor and incur $100,000 in expenditures incidental to the exploration and mining operations; (ii) on or before August 1, 2014, $20,000 to Optionor and an additional $100,000 in expenditures; (iii) on or before August 1, 2015, $30,000 to Optionor and an additional $150,000 in expenditures; (iv) on or before August 1, 2016, $40,000 to Optionor and an additional $200,000 in expenditures; and (v) on or before August 1, 2017, $50,000 to Optionor and incur an additional $250,000 in expenditures.

 

Our payment obligations are non-refundable, if we do not make all required payments, we will lose all payments made and our rights to the properties. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Optionor will keep the Property in good standing, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances during the Option period, subject to the Company performing its obligations. Required annual maintenance and filing fees include $140 per claim to be paid to the BLM and recording fees of approximately $15 per claim to be paid to the respective county. If all said payments are made, then we will acquire a 100% right, title and interest in the Property in perpetuity providing property maintenance fees are kept current, subject to a 3% net smelter royalty payable to the Optionor based on aggregate proceeds received by the Company from any smelter or other purchaser of any ores, concentrates, metals or other material of commercial value produced from the property, minus the cost of transportation of the ores, concentrates or metals, including related insurance, and smelting and refining charges, including penalties.

 

Both the Company and Optionor have the right to assign, sell, mortgage or pledge their rights in the Agreement or on the property.

 

The Agreement will terminate if the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations in the Agreement and fails to cure such alleged breach within Thirty (30) days of written notification by Optionor. If the Company gives notice that it denies a default has occurred, the matter shall be determined finally through such means of dispute resolution as such matter has been subjected to by either party. The Agreement provides that all disputes shall be resolved by a sole arbitrator under the rules of the Arbitration Act of Arizona. The Company also has the right to terminate the Agreement by giving notice to Optionor. As of January 31, 2014 the option agreement is in good standing with the Optionor even though all payments have not been made in accordance with the agreement.

Description and location of the Plomosa Mountain Property

 

The Property consists of 31 unpatented mining claims covering approximately 635 acres in the Plomosa mountain range, part of the historic Plomosa District and located in the fairway tract of the world famous Walker Lane Gold Trend. The Walker Lane has historically produced over 50 million ounces of gold and 400 million ounces of silver. This region's Lode and Placer gold has been heavily sought after since the 18th century, and based on historical records and data from former claim holders, the Company believes this property has the potential to host precious minerals.

 

The Property is in southwest Arizona situated 14 miles northeast of the town of Quartzite, Arizona in LaPaz County and approximately 170 miles southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. The Property claims are located in sections 29, 30, 31, 32 of 6N, R17W G&SR B&M, La Paz County, Arizona.

 

Mr. Beebe, director and of the Company and experienced professional geologist with an extensive background in mineral exploration, has travelled and physically examined the Plomosa Property (the “Property”) for a week in mid July of 2011. The purpose of Mr. Beebe’s visit was to assess the geologic attributes of the Property and to vet its potential as a viable exploration project for the Company prior to the Company entering into the Property Option Agreement with Horizon Exploration, Inc. Mr. Beebe earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from Metropolitan State College, Denver, Colorado, in 1981. He is a member of the Association of Applied Geochemists, the Geological Society of Nevada, the Ordre du Géologues du Québec, and the Society of Economic Geologists.

 

The Property is easily accessed via Plomosa road which is paved with gravel inroads. If the Company was to discover economic mineralization, power needed for exploration and mining activities would be from diesel powered generators. Water is not potable, but plentiful for drilling, mining and milling purposes.

 

The Property claims are held as unpatented federal land claims administered under the Department of Interior, BLM and Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (“USFS”) under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. In order to acquire an unpatented mineral claim the land must be open to mineral entry. Federal law specifies that a claim must be located or “staked” and site boundaries be distinctly and clearly marked to be readily identifiable on the ground in addition to filing the appropriate state and or federal documentation such as Location Notice, Claim Map, Notice of Non-liability for Labor and Materials Furnished, Notice of Intent to Hold Mining Claims, Maintenance Fee Payment and fees to secure the claim. The State may also establish additional requirements regarding the manner in which mining claims and sites are located and recorded. An unpatented mining claim on U.S. government lands establishes a claim to the locatable minerals (also referred to as stakeable minerals) on the land and the right of possession solely for mining purposes. No title to the land passes to the claimant. If a proven economic mineral deposit is developed, provisions of federal mining laws permit owners of unpatented mining claims to patent (to obtain title to) the claim.

 

The Property surface estate and mineral rights are federally owned and subject to BLM regulations. None of the Property claims have been legally surveyed. Although our legal access to unpatented Federal claims cannot be denied, staking or operating a mining claim does not provide the claim holder exclusive rights to the surface resources (unless a right was determined under Public Law 84-167), establish residency or block access to other users. Regulations managing the use and occupancy of the public lands for development of locatable mineral deposits by limiting such use or occupancy to that which is reasonably incident is found in 43 CFR 3715. These Regulations apply to public lands administered by BLM.

Plomosa Mountain Property Claim Map

 

 

Geology of the Plomosa Mountain Property

 

The Property is part of the Plomosa Mining District and is located within the Basin and Range Geomorphologic Province, which comprises the southwestern third of the State of Arizona. The region is characterized by linear mountain ranges separated by down thrown, alluvium-filled basins. In southern Arizona, a "belt" of Precambrian metamorphic rocks (“core complex") ranges forms a transition zone between the younger, predominantly volcanic desert mountains of the south and the folded and faulted highlands of central Arizona. The Plomosa Mountains rise up just west of the Bouse Hills to the north and extend for tens of miles southward. The Plomosa Mountains form the eastern wall of the La Posa Plain and the western front-range to the Ranegras Plains for nearly its entire length. The northern half of the Plomosa Mountains is predominantly composed of Mesozoic sandstone, shale, conglomerate and limestone. Slightly younger Cretaceous to early-Tertiary sediments crop out along the northernmost point of the range and small outcrops of ancient Precambrian gneiss also occur in the area. Mesozoic-age intrusive rocks, chiefly granites, intrude the pre-Tertiary rocks and is believed to be the source for much of the gold in the Plomosa Mountains. Mid to late Tertiary volcanic rocks, predominately basalt and andesitic-basalt, cap many of the ranges in western Arizona including parts of the Plomosa Mountains and locally specific Guadeloupe Mountain. Much of the volcanics have been eroded and expose the underlying pre-Tertiary rocks.

 

The alluvial gravels on the Property consist of schist, granite, and volcanic material that were derived from the Plomosa Mountains. The schist exposures in the Plomosa Mountains contain gold-bearing quartz veins and stringers that were a significant source of the placer gold deposits in the alluvial gravels. There are at least three prospective outcrops of exposed quartz veining identified on the Property similar to those exposures that host gold mines in the region, as well as two historical mine workings, one shaft and one audit, with significant underground workings. The audit is an approx. 6’ x 6’ cavern and the shaft is an approx. 8’ x 8’ cavern with historic supporting timbers. Both have evidence of mineralization throughout the walls of the workings as well as the tailings. There are also two historical barite prospects on the Property, although more analysis is needed to determine the grade and its economic potential. These occurrences are geologically important because they are the host rocks of numerous prolific vein-controlled gold mines in Plomosa Mountains.

 

15
 

 

Past Exploration

 

The region's lode and placer gold has been heavily sought after since the 18th century. The Walker Lane has historically produced over 50 million ounces of gold and 400 million ounces of silver. The famous Copperstone mine is located 12 miles west of the Property at the northern tip of the Dome Rock Mountain chain. To this day, Copperstone lays claim to the largest gold discovery in Arizona in recent history. The Mudersbach Mine Camp, located 1 mile south of the Property was a former surface and underground Cu-Fe-Ag-Au- mine previously owned by the Excelsior Gold & Copper Co. This mine was worked intermittently from the early 1900's through 1930. It produced some 700 tons of ore averaging about 4.4% Cu, 0.67 oz. Ag/T, and 0.03 oz. Au/T.

 

Just 7 miles to the north of the Property is the Little Butte gold project formerly owned by Homestake Mines in the late 1980’s and subsequently acquired by Barrick Gold. Homestake drilled over 50 holes averaging 400 ft per hole over a 4 year period with significant mineralization reported.

 

Planned Exploration

 

The Property is currently without known reserves. The Company plans to utilize all historical work performed to date in the region and to conduct rock sampling and assaying, for the purpose of developing a detailed exploration program. We are in the process of developing an exploration plan, targeting copper and gold in copper-gold bearing quartz-hematite-sulfide stockwork veining and associated potassic alteration.

 

WINDY PEAK PROPERTY

 

Acquisition of Interest

 

In March 2013, after a review of historical records and information available regarding a potential mineral property interest in Churchill County, Nevada, the Corporation staked the boundaries of the Windy Peak Property (referred to herein as the “Windy Peak Property,” "Windy Peak” or the “Property”).

 

Mr. Robyn, Director of the Company and experienced professional geologist with an extensive background in mineral exploration, physically examined the Windy Peak Property in 2003 to assess it’s geologic attributes including the mineralization and controls on mineralization. Mr. Robyn earned his BA in Geology from Western Michigan University (1972) and his Ph.D., Volcanology and Igneous Petrology (1977) from the University of Oregon with a major in Igneous Petrology/Volcanology. He has 35 years’ of experience in the management of mineral exploration projects, mineral property review and advisor to private party interests.

The Windy Peak Property Location in Nevada

 

 

Description and location of the Windy Peak Property

 

The Windy Peak Property consists of 79 unpatented mineral claims covering approximately 1630 acres 3 miles NNE of the Bell Mountain and 7 miles east of the Fairview mining district in southwest Nevada. Windy Peak is approximately 45 miles southeast of Fallon and 6 miles SSW of Middlegate in sections 4,5,8,9,28,32,33 of T15 &16N R35E, Nevada. The Property is divided into 2 non-contiguous claim blocks with the northern claim block being adjacent to Hill 6483 in the Windy Fault, where a small glory hole was discovered and mined in the 1970’s. This discovery was a zone 12-15’ long and approximately 4’ wide where a hole approximately 3’ deep was excavated. It was reported that approximately $10,000 (or 300 ounces) was extracted from this location.

 

Access to the Windy Peak Property is from U.S. Highway 50, thence south via Highway 361 to an unmarked dirt road that heads west along the south side of an unnamed wash referred to as Windy Wash. The dirt road exits Highway 95 near the border of Sections 27 & 34. The Bell Mountain quadrangle (dated 1972) shows an older dirt road that follows the floor of the wash. About 2 miles along the dirt road, trenching and cutting of trails to access various portions of the Property have extensively disturbed the hill. The dirt road is in good condition, however the steeper trails near Windy Peak will require a 4-wheel-drive for access. There is no plant, equipment, water source nor power currently on site. Power could be provided by portable diesel-powered generators. Non potable water may be source able on site for drilling, mining and milling purposes.

The Property claims are held as unpatented federal land claims administered under the Department of Interior, BLM and Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (“USFS”) under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. In order to acquire an unpatented mineral claim the land must be open to mineral entry.

The State may also establish additional requirements regarding the manner in which mining claims and sites are located and recorded. An unpatented mining claim on U.S. government lands establishes a claim to the locatable minerals (also referred to as stakeable minerals) on the land and the right of possession solely for mining purposes. No title to the land passes to the claimant. If a proven economic mineral deposit is developed, provisions of federal mining laws permit owners of unpatented mining claims to patent (to obtain title to) the claim. The Property surface estate and mineral rights are federally owned and subject to BLM regulations. None of the Property claims have been legally surveyed. Although our legal access to unpatented Federal claims cannot be denied, staking or operating a mining claim does not provide the claim holder exclusive rights to the surface resources (unless a right was determined under Public Law 84-167), establish residency or block access to other users.

Past Exploration in the Windy Peak area

 

Fairview District

 

The Windy Peak area has been considered to be part of, or at least an extension of, the Fairview District, which, is located on Fairview Peak about 6 miles WNW of Hill 6483. Both areas are within the Fairview Peak caldera of Henry but their geochemical differences indicate they are not related.

 

Windy Peak

 

The only published information found regarding the Windy Peak area mentions a small leach pad at the Cye Cox prospect at Hill 6483, this exploration was located adjacent to but not on our northern claim block. According to historical reports, an initial 6 claims (Red Star) were staked by Cye Cox of Fallon from 1945 to 1969. Subsequent lessees staked an additional 79 Red Star claims from 1978 to 1979. Cye Cox together with Pete Erb and "Pine Nut" Forbush discovered high-grade gold on the south side of Hill 6483 in the Windy fault in 1970. The discovery was a zone 12-15' long and about 4' wide, where they dug a hole 3' deep. They reportedly extracted about $10,000 (about 300 ounces) in coarse gold from this hole. They named the prospect the Red Star claim because the gold supposedly had a reddish tint to it, redder than Black Hills gold. The presence of old timbers near a mostly-covered hole at the western trench (about mile west of the Windy adit) indicates that they also did some work there. After further examination a plant with a 6-8" grizzly and trommel (21' x 30") was setup and operated. It was stated by one of the partners in the claim that $850,000 in gold was recovered during the plant's operation with concentrates from some recovery units being trucked off-site for processing. It was later determined, but not proven that mercury may have been placed in the ball mill to steal the gold contained in several truckloads of concentrate.

 

At least 56 RC holes have been drilled on and around the Windy Peak claims area. The identifiable holes are vertical holes, which is interesting because the primary target in the Windy area is bonanza grade veins in steep to vertical structures In effect, the high-grade, structurallyhosted gold potential on the property has not been tested by previous drilling programs.

 

Geology of the Windy Peak Property area

 

Review of late Tertiary epithermal gold-silver deposits in the northern Great Basin, revealed that most deposits are spatially and temporally related to two magmatic assemblages: bimodal basalt-rhyolite and western andesite. The Fairview district, including the Bell Mine, is related to a third, minor magmatic assemblage, the late Eocene to early Miocene caldera complexes of the interior andesite-rhyolite assemblage. This assemblage hosts the giant late-Oligocene Round Mountain deposit plus smaller deposits in the Atlanta, Fairview, Tuscarora, and Wonder mining districts. The youngest rocks in the interior andesite-rhyolite assemblage were erupted at about 19 Ma and are in the Fairview and Tonopah mining districts. Recent studies have shown that the magmatism associated with the interior andesite rhyolite assemblage had a close spatial and temporal association with crustal extension, and that these magmas were formed by partial mixing of mantle-derived basal with crustal melt.

 

Planned Exploration

 

The Company’s objectives are to assess the Windy Peak Property’s geological merits to establish an exploration program and identify the potential for economically viable mineralization. The cost of this exploration plan has not yet been determined therefore estimated exploration expenditures are not available at this time. We recognize that Windy Peak is a grass roots exploration opportunity and there are no proven or probable reserves. At the time of this Annual Report, the Company does not have the necessary funding to develop and implement an exploration plan. If funding was to be obtained, the Company would move forward with an exploration budget based upon the results of our independent analysis and recommendations of our Board of Directors.

ITEM 3.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party or in which any Director, Officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than 5% of any class of voting securities of the Company, or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company.  The Company’s property is not the subject of any pending legal proceedings.

 

ITEM 4.      MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE

 

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) and Item 104 of Regulation S-K require certain mine safety disclosures to be made by companies that operate mines regulated under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. However, the requirements of the Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K do not apply as the Company does not engage in mining activities.  Therefore, the Company is not required to make such disclosures.

Market Information

 

Our common stock is traded on the OTC Markets and the OTCBB under the trading symbol “GDFI”. In 2010, the new “OTC Markets” quotation tiers began replacing the former OTCBB. The OTC Markets launched the OTCQB marketplace to help investors easily identify SEC reporting companies and regulated banks that are current with their disclosure obligations. Issuers on the OTCQB must be fully reporting and current in their reporting obligations with the SEC. Although the entire Over the Counter quotation system is regulated by the SEC and FINRA, OTC Markets and the OTCBB are both now privately owned and merely serve as quotation mediums. The OTC Markets is more user friendly, factually up-to-date and accurate than the website for the OTCBB. Over the Counter quotes can be found at www.otcmarkets.com. Through the progressive changes of the OTC Markets platform, the Company’s stock is now quoted on the OTCQB, as well as the OTCBB.

The 2004 Stock Option Plan

 

In March 2004, the Board of Directors adopted the 2004 Stock Option Plan (the "2004 Plan") reserving 50,000 common shares for grant to employees, directors and consultants. On March 10, 2014, the 2004 Plan expired and 500 options remained outstanding and exercisable at a weighted average exercise price of $6.00 per option. As of April 2, 2014 these options expired.

 

The 2013 Stock Option Plan

 

In March 2013, the Board of Directors adopted the 2013 Stock Option Plan (the "2013 Plan") reserving 8,900,000 common shares for grant to employees, directors and consultants. As of January 31, 2014, there were no options granted under the 2013 Plan. The following discussion describes material terms of grants made pursuant to the stock option plans:

 

Pursuant to the 2013 Stock Option Plan, grants of shares can be made to employees, officers, directors, consultants and independent contractors of non-qualified stock options as well as for the grant of stock options to employees that qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Code”) or as non-qualified stock options. The Plan is administered by the Option Committee (the “Committee”), which has, subject to specified limitations, the full authority to grant options and establish the terms and conditions for vesting and exercise thereof. Currently the entire Board functions as the Committee.

 

In order to exercise an option granted under the Plan, the optionee must pay the full exercise price of the shares being purchased. Payment may be made either: (i) in cash; or (ii) at the discretion of the Committee, by delivering shares of common stock already owned by the optionee that have a fair market value equal to the applicable exercise price.

 

Subject to the foregoing, the Committee has broad discretion to describe the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Plan. The Committee may at any time discontinue granting options under the Plan or otherwise suspend, amend or terminate the Plan and may make such modification of the terms and conditions of such optionee’s option as the Committee shall deem advisable.

 

Purchases of equity securities by the issuer and affiliated purchasers

 

None.

Plan of Operations

 

Our business plan is to proceed with the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties to determine whether there are commercially exploitable reserves of gold and silver or other metals. We had cash of $25,894 and working capital of  $(29,983) as of January 31, 2014.  

 

During our exploration stage, our President will only be devoting approximately one day per week of his time to our business. We do not foresee the limited involvement of our President as negatively impacting our Company over the next twelve months as all exploratory work is being performed by outside consultants. Additionally, we will not have a need to hire any employees over the next twelve months; nor do we plan to make any purchases of equipment over the next twelve months due to reliance upon outside consultants to provide all tools needed for the exploratory work being conducted.

 

Results of Operations for the Fiscal Year Ended January 31, 2014

 

We did not earn any revenues during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014 or 2013. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production 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.

 

For the year ended January 31, 2014 we had a net loss of $130,226 compared to a net loss of $133,378 from the prior year, a decrease of $3,152.  Our decrease in net loss is comprised of an increase in general operating expenses of $4,306, a decrease in property acquisition and exploration expenses of $6,223 and an increase in other income of $1,236.

 

General operating expenses increased $4,306 during the year ended January 31, 2014 compared to the year ended January 31, 2013. The increase is comprised of a $13,205 decrease in audit fees due to a change in accounting policy whereby the Company is no longer accruing year-end audit fees but is expensing them when incurred. This decrease was offset by an $8,000 increase in professional fees related to administrative services; an increase of $3,530 in legal fees related to SEC filings; an increase of $3,244 in consulting fees related to property consulting; and an increase of $2,737 in general office expenses.

 

Property acquisition and exploration expenses decreased $6,223 during the year end January 31, 2014 compared to the year ended January 31, 2013. The decrease is comprised of a $43,000 decrease in option fees for the acquisition of the Plomosa Mountain Property offset by an increase of $36,777 in the acquisition of unpatented mineral claims and staking fees of the Windy Peak Property.

 

Other income increased $1,236 during the year ended January 31, 2014 compared to the year ended January 31, 2013 due to a one time gain on a reclamation deposit refund from the BLM.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We had cash of $25,894 and working capital of $(29,983) as of January 31, 2014. We anticipate that we will incur over the next twelve months:

 

  · $295,000 in connection with acquisition and exploration of mineral properties, which includes $40,000 for option payments and $200,000 for exploration payments due under the Plomosa Mountain Property Agreement , as well as $55,000 for the Windy Peak Property.

 

  · $84,000 for operating expenses, including working capital and general, legal, accounting and administrative expenses associated with reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

25
 

 

We shall require additional funding and we anticipate that such funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund additional phases of the exploration program, should we decide to proceed. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding any further phases in our exploration program.  The risky nature of this enterprise and lack of tangible assets places debt financing beyond the credit-worthiness required by most banks or typical investors of corporate debt until such time as an economically viable mine can be demonstrated. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.

 

Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended January 31, 2014 was $126,437 compared to $126,517 during the year ended January 31, 2013.   Cash used in operations was consistent year over year..

 

Net cash generated from financing activity was $75,000 for the year ended January 31, 2014 compared to $155,750 for the year ended January 31, 2013. The $80,750 decrease is due to issuing fewer shares of common stock through private placements.

 

Net cash generated from investing activity was $43,036 for the year ended January 31, 2014 compared to nil for the year ended January 31, 2013. The increase is due to the refund of reclamation deposits with the BLM.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Goldfields International, Inc.

(Formerly American Goldfields, Inc.)

(An Exploration Stage Company)

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Goldfields International, Inc. (formerly American Goldfields, Inc.) (an exploration stage company) as of January 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations, and cash flows for the years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, and the cumulative since December 21, 2001 (inception) to January 31, 2014, and the statement of stockholder’s equity since December 21, 2001 (inception) to January 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

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

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Goldfields International, Inc. (formerly American Goldfields, Inc.) (an exploration stage company) as of January 31, 2014 and 2013 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 and the cumulative since December 21, 2001 (inception) to January 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has no revenues, and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its exploration activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Goldfields International Inc.

(An exploration stage company)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

January 31, 2014

 

Note 1.  Organization and Nature of the Business

 

Goldfields International Inc. (formerly, American Goldfields Inc.) (the “Company” or “we”) together with its wholly-owned subsidiary Goldmin Exploration Inc. (“Goldmin”), are a natural resource exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of properties for deposits of gold or silver. We were incorporated on December 21, 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Since then, we have engaged primarily in the acquisition and exploration of mining interests in properties that may potentially have deposits of gold and silver. To date, we have not earned any revenues.

 

Goldmin was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 10, 2010 and has no assets or liabilities.

 

On March 9, 2012, the Company and a majority of the Company’s stockholders authorized a name change and a 1:100 reverse stock split of our common stock. On May 7, 2012, the Company filed an Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation reflecting a name change to Goldfields International Inc. and the implementation to effect a one-for-one-hundred reverse stock split with all fractional shares being rounded up to the nearest whole share (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split was declared effective by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) on June 7, 2012. All share and per share amounts have been retrospectively restated to reflect the Reverse Split.

 

Note 2.  Going Concern Considerations

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $4,336,447 for the period from December 21, 2001 (inception) to January 31, 2014, and has no sales.  The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its mineral properties.  Management is seeking additional capital through an equity financing.  The consolidated 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.

 

Note 3.  Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary.  Collectively, they are referred to herein as “the Company”.  Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Exploration Stage Activities

 

The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations.  It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Upon location of a commercial minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for its extraction and enter a development stage.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and use assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses.  These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates.  Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

 

F-7
 

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all liquid investments, with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased, to be cash equivalents. 

 

Mineral Claim Payments and Exploration Expenditures

 

The Company expenses all costs related to the acquisition, maintenance and exploration of its unproven mineral properties, to which it has secured exploration rights.  If and when proven and probable reserves are determined for a property and a feasibility study prepared with respect to the property, then subsequent development costs of the property will be capitalized.  To date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of its exploration prospects. Therefore, all costs have been expensed.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments are cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, and long-term debt. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature. The recorded values of loans approximate fair value as interest approximates market rates.

 

Environmental Costs

  

Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to operations. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitments to a plan of action based on the then known facts.  Environmental costs amounted to $0 and $0 at January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Asset Retirement Obligation

 

The Company accounts for its future asset retirement obligations by recording the fair value of the liability during the period in which it was incurred. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. The increase in carrying value of a property associated with the capitalization of an asset retirement obligation is included in proven oil and gas properties in the balance sheets. The Company’s asset retirement obligation consists of costs related to the plugging of wells, removal of facilities and equipment and site restoration on its oil and gas properties. The asset retirement liability is allocated to operating expense using a systematic and rational method.  Asset retirement obligations amounted to $0 and $0 at January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures all stock-based compensation awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize such expense in its financial statements over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest.  The Company generally uses the Black-Scholes pricing model to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation awards on the date of grant.  The Black-Scholes pricing model requires management to make assumptions regarding the option lives, expected volatility, and risk free interest rates. See “Note 7. Shareholders’ Equity” for additional information on the Company’s stock-based compensation plans.

 

 

F-8
 

 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s functional currency is the U.S. dollar.  Transactions in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars as follows:

 

  i) monetary items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;
  ii) non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate;
  iii) revenue and expense at the average rate in effect during the applicable accounting period.

 

Exchange gains or losses arising on translation are included in income (loss) for the year.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets, including tax loss and credit carryforwards, and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income tax expense represents the change during the period in the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities are individually classified as current and non-current based on their characteristics. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

Interest costs related to unrecognized tax benefits are classified as “Interest expense, net” in the accompanying statements of operations. Penalties, if any, would be recognized as a component of “Selling, general and administrative expenses”. The Company recognized $0 of interest expense related to unrecognized tax benefits for the year ended January 31, 2014.

 

No Items of Other Comprehensive Income

 

The Company has no items of other comprehensive income in any period presented. Therefore, net income as presented in the Company’s Statement of Operations equals comprehensive income.

 

Loss Per Share

 

Basic net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is determined using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, consisting of shares that might be issued upon exercise of common stock options and warrants. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

At January 31, 2014 and 2013, potential common shares of 750,500 and 11,158, respectively, related to common stock options and warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share since their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

A related party is generally defined as (i) any person who holds 10% or more of the Company’s securities and their immediate families, (ii) the Company’s management, (iii) someone who directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or (iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. See “Note 8. Related Party Transactions” for further discussion.

 

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued.  Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company’s previous fiscal year may be applicable to the Company, it has not identified any standards that it believes merit further discussion.  The Company believes that none of the new standards will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 4.  Mineral Property Interests

 

Plomosa Property

 

Effective August 1, 2012, the Company executed a Property Option Agreement (the “Agreement”), with a Nevada company (the “Optionor”) granting the Company the exclusive option to an undivided right, title and interest in the Plomosa Property located in the Plomosa Mountain Range, La Paz County, Arizona (the “Property”), subject to royalty payments. Simultaneous with the execution and delivery of the Agreement, the Company issued thirty five million (35,000,000) shares of its fully paid and non-assessable restricted common stock and paid fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000 USD).

 

The Property consists of an aggregate of 31 unpatented Federal mineral claims located in the Plomosa Mountain Range, La Paz County, Arizona.

 

In order to earn a 100% interest in the Property, the Company must pay the Optionor and incur expenditures relating to exploration and mining operations in accordance with the following schedule: (i) on or before August 1, 2013, $20,000 to Optionor and incur $100,000 in expenditures incidental to the exploration and mining operations; (ii) on or before August 1, 2014, $20,000 to Optionor and an additional $100,000 in expenditures; (iii) on or before August 1, 2015, $30,000 to Optionor and an additional $150,000 in expenditures; (iv) on or before August 1, 2016, $40,000 to Optionor and an additional $200,000 in expenditures; and (v) on or before August 1, 2017, $50,000 to Optionor and incur an additional $250,000 in expenditures. Since our payment obligations are non-refundable, if we do not make all required payments, we will lose all payments made and our rights to the properties. If all said payments are made, then we will acquire all mining interests in the property subject to a 3% net smelter royalty. If the Company fails to make any payment when due, the Agreement gives the Company a 30-day grace period to pay the amount of the deficiency.

 

The Optionor retains a 3% royalty of the aggregate proceeds received by the Company from any smelter or other purchaser of any ores, concentrates, metals or other material of commercial value produced from the property, minus the cost of transportation of the ores, concentrates or metals, including related insurance, and smelting and refining charges, including penalties.

 

Both the Company and Optionor have the right to assign, sell, mortgage or pledge their rights in the Agreement or on the property.

 

The Agreement will terminate if the Company fails to comply with any of its obligations in the Agreement and fails to cure such alleged breach. If the Company gives notice that it denies a default has occurred, the matter shall be determined finally through such means of dispute resolution as such matter has been subjected to by either party. The Agreement provides that all disputes shall be resolved by a sole arbitrator under the rules of the Arbitration Act of Nevada. The Company also has the right to terminate the Agreement by giving notice to Optionor. As of January 31, 2014 the option agreement is in good standing with the Optionor even though all payments have not been made in accordance with the Agreement.

 

Windy Peak Property

 

In March 2013, through the establishment of 79 unpatented mineral claims with the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”), the company acquired a mineral property interest (hereinafter referred to as the “Windy Peak Property,” or “Windy Peak.) Windy Peak consists of approximately 1,630 acres located approximately 3 miles NNE of the Bell Mountain and 7 miles east of the Fairview mining district in southwest Nevada. Windy Peak is approximately 45 miles southeast of Fallon and 6 miles SSW of Middlegate in Sections 4,5,8,9,28,32,33 of T15 &16N R35E, Nevada. The Property is divided into 2 non-contiguous claim blocks with the northern claim block being adjacent to Hill 6483 in the Windy Fault mineral deposit.

 

F-10
 

 

The Property claims were located and recorded along with the necessary payments being filed in March 2013. Annual maintenance fees of $140 per claim paid to the BLM and recording fees of approximately $15 per claim must be paid to the respective county on or before September 1 of each year to keep the claims in good standing, provided the filings are kept current these claims can be kept in perpetuity.

 

The Property claims are held as unpatented federal land claims administered under the Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) and Department of Agriculture, Forest Service (“USFS”) under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. In order to acquire an unpatented mineral claim the land must be open to mineral entry. Federal law specifies that a claim must be located or “staked” and site boundaries be distinctly and clearly marked to be readily identifiable on the ground in addition to filing the appropriate state and or federal documentation such as Location Notice, Claim Map, Notice of Non-liability for Labor and Materials Furnished, Notice of Intent to Hold Mining Claims, Maintenance Fee Payment and fees to secure the claim. The State may also establish additional requirements regarding the manner in which mining claims and sites are located and recorded. An unpatented mining claim on U.S. government lands establishes a claim to the locatable minerals (also referred to as stakeable minerals) on the land and the right of possession solely for mining purposes. No title to the land passes to the claimant. If a proven economic mineral deposit is developed, provisions of federal mining laws permit owners of unpatented mining claims to patent (to obtain title to) the claim. The Property surface estate and mineral rights are federally owned and subject to BLM regulations. None of the Property claims have been legally surveyed. Although our legal access to unpatented Federal claims cannot be denied, staking or operating a mining claim does not provide the claim holder exclusive rights to the surface resources (unless a right was determined under Public Law 84-167), establish residency or block access to other users. Regulations managing the use and occupancy of the public lands for development of locatable mineral deposits by limiting such use or occupancy to that which is reasonably incident is found in 43 CFR 3715. These Regulations apply to public lands administered by the BLM.

 

Note 5.  Reclamation Deposits

 

The Company has been granted exploration permits from the State of Nevada for several of its properties.  As part of the application process, the Company is required to pay refundable deposits to the State as surety for the estimated reclamation costs associated with planned exploration programs.  Upon completion of required reclamation the Company will receive a refund of the deposit. The BLM has released the Nevada properties bond and the required application has been submitted for the return of the funds. In March 2013, the Company received the refund for the reclamation deposit totaling $43,036 of which the Company had capitalized $41,800. The difference of $1,236 was recorded as a gain on disposal of mineral properties in the Statement of Consolidated of Operations for the period ended January 31, 2014.

 

Note 6.  Loans Payable

 

On April 8, 2011, the Company entered into a $20,000 loan agreement with an unrelated party to provide working capital.  The loan bears interest at the United States Prime Rate plus 1%.  The Company may repay the entire loan including the outstanding interest at any time by advising the lender of such intent to repay 15 days prior to the anticipated date of repayment. On May 9, 2011, the Company entered into a second loan agreement with this same party for $30,000.  The loan bears the same terms and conditions as the loan agreement dated April 8, 2011.

 

During the years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded interest expense totaling $2,125 and $2,126 respectively, in its Consolidated Statement of Operations related to these loans payable.

Note 7.  Shareholders’ Equity

 

The Company’s  authorized capital consists of 600,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.001 per share and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

 

On February 27, 2013 and March 11, 2013, the Company closed private placements for a total of 750,000 units at $0.10 per unit for total proceeds of $75,000. Each unit consists of one share of common stock and one Class A Warrant exercisable, beginning on the one year anniversary date of the placement, for one share of common stock for a period of four years and expiring in 2018.

 

On January 31, 2013, the Company issued 25,000 shares upon the exercise of stock options for aggregate proceeds of $1,250.

 

On August 1, 2012, the Company closed a private placement of 24,500,000 restricted common shares at $0.001 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $24,500 from ten non-US investors pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

On August 1, 2012, the Company issued 35,000,000 shares of restricted stock to a Nevada company in exchange for an unrestricted interest in the Plomosa Mountain property. For further details refer to “Note 4: Mineral Property Interests”.

 

On February 22, 2012, the Company closed a private placement of 130,000 restricted common shares at $1.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $130,000 from one non-US investor pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

On February 9, 2012, the Company issued 5,300 restricted common shares to a former officer of the Company as severance.

 

Warrants

 

The following table lists the common share warrants outstanding as January 31, 2014.  Each warrant is exchangeable for one common share.

 

        Exercise  
Class Quantity     Price Exercise Period

               750,000        

 

Stock Options

 

March 1, 2013, the Company completed the registration of its 2013 Stock Option Plan (the "2013 Plan"), in order to provide to officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company added incentives to attract, retain and motivate eligible persons whose present and potential contributions are important to the success of the Company for high levels of performance and to reward unusual efforts which increase the earnings and long-term growth of the Company. It is intended to accomplish this by providing for the grant of "Incentive Stock Options" and "Nonqualified Stock Options" to qualified eligible individuals.

 

The total number of shares reserved and available for grant pursuant to the 2013 Plan is 8,900,000 shares. Shares subject to awards that are cancelled, forfeited, settled in cash or that expire by their terms will again be available for grant and issuance in connection with other awards. At all times the Company will reserve and keep available a sufficient number of Shares as will be required to satisfy the requirements of all awards granted and outstanding under this Plan.

 

The 2013 Plan shall be administered by the Option Committee. All actions taken by the Option Committee shall be submitted to the Board of Directors for ratification and approval. If there is no Option Committee, the Board of Directors shall act in lieu thereof.

F-12
 

 

Option grants shall be made at fair market value per share on the date of grant. Fair market value shall be determined on the following basis: (i) if the Shares are not traded on a securities exchange and are not quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.'s Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ"), but are quoted on the Over The Counter Electronic Bulletin Board, "Fair Market Value per Share" shall be the mean between the average daily bid and average daily asked prices of the Shares on the applicable date, as published on such bulletin board; (ii) if the Shares are not traded on a securities exchange and are quoted on NASDAQ, "Fair Market Value per Share" shall be the closing transaction price of the Shares on the applicable date, as reported on NASDAQ; (iii) if the Shares are traded on a securities exchange, "Fair Market Value per Share" shall be the daily closing price of the Shares, on such securities exchange as of the applicable date; or (iv) if the Shares are traded other than as described in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, or if the Shares are not publicly traded, "Fair Market Value per Share" shall be the value determined by the Option Committee in good faith based upon the fair market value as determined by completely independent and well qualified experts.

 

As of January 31, 2014 no stock options had been granted under the 2013 Plan.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Goldfields International Inc.’s 2004 Stock Option Plan (the “2004 Plan”) which reserved 50,000 common shares for grant to employees, directors and consultants.  As of January 31, 2014, there were 1,000 shares available for grant and 500 options outstanding. No further grants were awarded under the 2004 Plan between January 31, 2014 and March 4, 2014, the date the 2004 Plan expired. Additionally, the 500 options outstanding as of January 31, 2014 expired on April 2, 2014 without being exercised.

 

Option activity under the Company’s stock option plans as of and for the year ended January 31, 2014 was as follows:

 

      Weighted   Remaining       
      Average   Contractual    Aggregate 
  Number of   Exercise   Life   Intrinsic
  Options   Price   (years)   Value
Balance, January 31, 2012 500   $ 6.00          
Options granted   25,000   $ 0.05          
Options exercised  (25,000)   $ 0.05          
Options canceled     –                   
Balance, January 31, 2013 500   $ 6.00          
Options granted     –                   
Options exercised    –                   
Options canceled    –                   
Balance, January 31, 2014 500   $ 6.00   0.17      
Exercisable at January 31, 2014 500   $ 6.00   0.17   $  –   

 

The Company estimated the fair value of options granted under the stock option plan considering recent trading transaction due to the thin trading of its stock.

 

Stock-based compensation expense is included on the Consolidated Statements of Operations based upon job functions of the participant receiving the grants.  Compensation expense related to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans for the years ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 was nil and $1,250 recognized as consulting expenses, respectively.

 

All stock options currently outstanding are fully vested so there is no unrecognized compensation expense as of January 31, 2014.

 

It is not the Company’s practice to repurchase shares in the open market.

 

F-13
 

 

Note 8.  Related Party Transactions

 

Effective August 1, 2012 the Company executed a Property Option Agreement (the “Agreement”), with Horizon Exploration Inc. (the Optionor”), a related party by beneficial owner holding more than 5% of the Company’s voting securities, granting the Company the exclusive option to an undivided right, title and interest in the Plomosa Mountain Property located in La Paz County Arizona, subject to Royalty payments, in exchange for 35,000,000 common shares of the Company’s stock and $15,000 cash.

 

During the year ended January 31, 2014, in accordance with the Agreement the Company paid the Optionor $7,000 in option payments that are recorded as mineral acquisition and exploration expenditures in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For further details of the Agreement, see “Note 4. Mineral Property Interests.”

 

Note 9.  Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets of the Company are as follows:

 

   2014   2013 
Loss carry-forwards  $1,378,000   $1,334,000 
Less:  Valuation allowance   (1,378,000)   (1,334,000)
Deferred tax asset recognized  $   $ 

 

A valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the net benefit recorded in the financial statements related to these deferred tax assets.  The valuation allowance is deemed necessary as a result of the uncertainty associated with the ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets.

 

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 34% (2013 – 34%) to net loss for the year.  The sources and tax effect of the differences are as follows:

 

   2014   2013 
Computed “expected” tax benefit  $44,277   $45,349 
Permanent differences   (277)   4,651 
Change in Valuation Allowance   (44,000)   (50,000)
Income tax provision  $   $ 

 

As at January 31, 2014, the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $4,050,197 (2013 - $3,919,971), which expire between 2022 and 2032.

 

With few exceptions, the company is generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010. The tax years 2010 through 2013 remain open to examination by federal agencies and other jurisdictions in which it operates.

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 our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2014. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of January 31, 2014, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

 

28
 

 

As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management concluded the Company does not have control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of January 31, 2014.

 

Attestation Report of Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

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