1.

PLAN OF ARRANGEMENT AND TRANSFER OF ASSETS

 

On August 25, 2010, International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. (“ITH”) completed a Plan of Arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act (“BCBCA”) whereby its existing Alaska mineral properties (other than the Livengood project) and related assets and the North Bullfrog mineral property and related assets in Nevada (collectively, the “Nevada and Other Alaska Business”) were indirectly spun out into a new public company, being Corvus Gold Inc. (“Corvus” or the “Company”).

 

The Arrangement was approved by the board of directors of each of ITH and Corvus and by the shareholders of ITH and was accepted for filing by the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) on behalf of both ITH and Corvus. In connection with the completion of the Arrangement, the common shares of Corvus were listed on the TSX.

 

Under the Arrangement, each shareholder of ITH received (as a return of capital) one Corvus common share for every two ITH common shares held as at the effective date of the Arrangement and exchanged each old common share of ITH for a new common share of ITH. As part of the Arrangement, ITH transferred its wholly-owned subsidiary Corvus Gold Nevada Inc. (formerly Talon Gold Nevada Inc.) (“Corvus Nevada”), incorporated in Nevada, United States (which held the North Bullfrog property), to Corvus and a wholly-owned Alaskan subsidiary of ITH sold to Raven Gold Alaska Inc. (“Raven Gold”), incorporated in Alaska, United States, a wholly owned subsidiary of Corvus, the Terra, Chisna, LMS and West Pogo properties. As a consequence of the completion of the Arrangement, Corvus now holds the Terra, Chisna, LMS, West Pogo and North Bullfrog properties (the “Spin-out Properties”).

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect the Balance Sheets and Statement of Changes in Equity of the Nevada and Other Alaska Business as if Corvus existed in its present form since the inception of the business on June 1, 2006. The financial statements have been presented under the predecessor basis of accounting with Balance Sheet amounts based on the amounts recorded by ITH. Management cautions readers of these financial statements that the allocation of expenses does not necessarily reflect future general and administrative expenses.

 

The deficit of the Company at August 25, 2010 was calculated on the basis of the ratio of costs incurred on the Spin-out Properties in each period as compared to the costs incurred on all mineral properties of ITH in each of these periods to the cumulative transactions relating to the Spin-out Properties from the date of acquisition of those mineral properties to August 25, 2010 and includes an allocation of ITH’s general and administrative expenses from the date of acquisition of those mineral properties to August 25, 2010. The allocation of general and administrative expense was calculated on the basis of the ratio of costs incurred on the Spin-out Properties in each prior year as compared to the costs incurred on all mineral properties and exploration costs of ITH in each of those prior years. Subsequent to August 25, 2010, ITH has not incurred any expenses on behalf of Corvus and therefore, no allocation of ITH expenses subsequent to that date has occurred.

 

2.

NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

 

The Company was incorporated on April 13, 2010 under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect the cumulative operating results of the predecessor, as related to the mineral properties that were transferred to the Company from June 1, 2006.

 

The Company is engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral properties, and either joint venturing or developing these properties further or disposing of them when the evaluation is completed. At February 28, 2015, the Company had interests in properties in Alaska and Nevada, U.S.A.

 

The business of mining and exploration involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The Company has no source of revenue, and has significant cash requirements to meet its administrative overhead and maintain its mineral property interests. The recoverability of amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on several factors. These include the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development of these properties, and future profitable production or proceeds from disposition of exploration and evaluation assets. The carrying value of the Company’s exploration and evaluation assets does not reflect current or future values.

 

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presume the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and/or obtaining additional financing.

 

In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, management takes into account all available information about the future which is at least, but not limited to, 12 months from February 28, 2015. Management is aware, in making its assessment, of material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that raise significant doubt upon the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, as explained in the following paragraph.

 

The Company has sustained losses from operations, and has an ongoing requirement for capital investment to explore its exploration and evaluation assets. Based on its current plans, budgeted expenditures, and cash requirements, the Company does not have sufficient cash to finance its current plans for at least 12 months from February 28, 2015. The Company expects that it will need to raise substantial additional capital to accomplish its business plan over the next several years. The Company expects to seek additional financing through equity financing. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing might be available.

 

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in business.

 

3.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2014 as filed in our Annual Report on Form S-1/A. In the opinion of the Company’s management these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at February 28, 2015 and the results of its operations for the nine months then ended. Operating results for the nine months ended February 28, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2015. The 2014 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. While management believes the estimates to be reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows.

 

Basis of Consolidation

 

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”), Corvus Gold (USA) Inc. (“Corvus USA”) (a Nevada corporation), Corvus Gold Nevada Inc. (“Corvus Nevada”) (a Nevada corporation), Raven Gold Alaska Inc. (“Raven Gold”) (an Alaska corporation) and SoN Land and Water LLC (“SoN”) (a Nevada limited liability company). All intercompany transactions and balances were eliminated upon consolidation.

 

 

Earnings (loss) per share

 

Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company uses the treasury stock method to compute the dilutive effect of options, warrants and similar instruments. Under this method, the dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share is calculated presuming the exercise of outstanding options, warrants and similar instruments. It assumes that the proceeds of such exercise would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. However, the calculation of diluted loss per share excludes the effects of various conversions and exercise of options and warrants that would be anti-dilutive. For the period ended February 28, 2015, 7,371,334 outstanding stock options (2014 – 6,175,234) were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as their inclusion was anti-dilutive.

 

4.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

 

As at February 28, 2015, the Company held 200,000 (May 31, 2014 – 200,000) common shares of WestMountain Gold with a fair value of $102,525 (May 31, 2014 - $147,451). The Company classified these shares as held-for-trading. Subsequent to February 28, 2015, the Company sold 53,160 shares of WestMountain for an average of USD 0.2384 for gross proceeds of USD 12,674.

RECLAMATION BOND

 

As at February 28, 2015, the Company has not commenced development of any mineral properties and accordingly a reasonable estimate of the timing of the cash flows cannot be made. The Company has posted non-interest bearing bonds totalling $Nil (USD nil) (May 31, 2014 - $522,332 (USD 481,767)) with the Nevada Division of Minerals in the State of Nevada as security for these obligations. Fair value could not be reasonably determined and accordingly the bonds were recorded at historical cost, adjusted for current exchange rates. During the period ended February 28, 2015, the Company entered into a corporate surety bond with a bonding company and as a result, the previously posted non-interest bearing bonds were refunded by the Nevada Division of Minerals in the State of Nevada.

a)

Chisna Property, Alaska

 

The Chisna property is located in the eastern Alaska Range, Alaska, and is comprised of unpatented mineral claims owned 100% by the Company and fee simple lands leased from Ahtna Incorporated.

 

On November 2, 2009, ITH and Talon Gold Alaska, Inc. (ITH’s wholly-owned Alaskan subsidiary) (“Talon Gold”) entered into an agreement (as amended) with Ocean Park Ventures Corp. (“OPV”). Pursuant to the agreement, an Alaskan subsidiary of OPV (“Subco”) and Raven Gold formed a joint venture (the “OPV/Raven JV”) for the purpose of exploring and developing the Chisna property.

 

On November 7, 2012, OPV withdrew from the joint venture and thereby returned 100% of the Chisna Project to the Company.

 

On March 24, 2010, Raven Gold entered into a Mineral Exploration Agreement with Option to Lease with Ahtna Incorporated (“Ahtna”), an Alaska Native Regional Corporation, concerning approximately 26,516 hectares of fee simple lands in the Athell Area of Alaska surrounding or adjacent to some of the blocks of mineral claims owned by Raven Gold (the “Ahtna Agreement”).

 

The key terms of the Ahtna Agreement include the following:

 

·

exclusive right to explore, and the option to enter into a mining lease to develop and mine, the subject lands for a six-year period

·

annual option payments of USD 1.00 – USD 1.25 per acre

·

minimum exploration expenditures of USD 4.00 – USD 8.00 per acre, provided that if the agreement is not terminated at the end of any option year, the exploration expenditures for the next year become a firm commitment

 

 

·

at the end of the third year, Raven Gold will release at least 50% of the original lands subject to the agreement

·

preferential contracting, hiring and training practice for Ahtna shareholders or designees

·

scholarship contributions to the Ahtna Heritage Foundation (USD 10,000/year, subject to increase for inflation)

·

all surface work subject to Ahtna archaeological and cultural clearance

 

Upon Raven Gold having expended an aggregate of USD 1,000,000 (including 2,500 feet of core drilling) and having completed a feasibility study over some or all of the land subject to the exploration agreement within the six year term of the Ahtna Agreement, Raven Gold has the option to enter into a mining lease. The key terms of the mining lease include:

 

·

exclusive mining rights for an initial term of ten years and so long thereafter as commercial production continues

·

minimum exploration expenditures of USD 4.00 – USD 9.00 per acre subject to the lease until commercial production is achieved, escalating over time

·

advance minimum royalty payments of USD 6.00 – USD 12.00 per acre escalating over time (50% deductible from production royalties)

·

NSR production royalties for gold and silver scaled from 2.5% (gold price USD 550 per ounce or less) to 14% (gold price USD 1,900 per ounce or higher). 2.5% on base metals and 3% on all minerals other than gold, silver or base metals

·

Ahtna is also entitled to receive an amount by which 20% of the net profits realized by Raven Gold from its mining operations on Ahtna minerals (10% in the case of non-Ahtna minerals) in any year exceed the aggregate royalties paid by Raven Gold to Ahtna in that year

·

Ahtna has the right to acquire a working interest in the lands subject to the lease, which is to be greater than or equal to 10% but not more than 15%, upon Raven Gold having made a production decision, and in consideration, Ahtna will be required to fund ongoing operations after such exercise in an amount equal to 200% of Ahtna’s percentage share of the pre-production expenditures incurred by Raven Gold (not including advance minimum royalty payments to Ahtna).

 

During the period ended February 28, 2015, the Company gave notification and terminated the Ahtna lease.

 

b)

West Pogo Property, Alaska

 

The West Pogo property is located approximately 50 kilometres north of Delta Junction, Alaska, and consists of unpatented mineral claims owned 100% by the Company.

 

During the year ended May 31, 2014, the Company wrote off the West Pogo property, as there had been a delay in exploration work on the property for an extended period of time.

 

c)

LMS Property, Alaska

 

The LMS property consists of unpatented mineral claims owned 100% by the Company.

 

d)

North Bullfrog Project, Nevada

 

The Company’s North Bullfrog project consists of certain leased patented lode mining claims and an additional 758 federal unpatented mining claims owned 100% by the Company.

The minimum tonnage fee (USD 240,000) bears interest at 4.77% per annum from closing and is evidenced by a promissory note due on the sooner of the commencing of use of the property for waste materials storage or December 31, 2015. As a result, the Company recorded $406,240 (USD 400,000) in acquisition costs with $157,408 paid in cash and the remaining $248,832 (USD 240,000) in promissory note payable (note 8) during the year ended May 31, 2013.

The lease also includes the option to purchase the property for USD 300,000.

 

Acquisitions

 

The acquisition of title to mineral properties is a detailed and time-consuming process. The Company has taken steps, in accordance with industry norms, to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest. Although the Company has taken every reasonable precaution to ensure that legal title to its properties is properly recorded in the name of the Company (or, in the case of an option, in the name of the relevant optionor), there can be no assurance that such title will ultimately be secured.

 

Environmental Expenditures

 

The operations of the Company may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.

 

Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits. Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries. The Company has determined as of February 28, 2015, the disturbances to earth are minimal, therefore has not recorded a provision for environmental expenditures.

PROMISSORY NOTE PAYABLE

 

As at March 28, 2013 the Company issued a promissory note payable of USD 240,000 (May 31, 2014 - $260,208 (USD 240,000)) bearing interest at 4.77% per annum due on the sooner of the commencing of use of the property for waste materials storage as stated in note 7(d)(ii)(3) or December 31, 2015. At February 28, 2015, the promissory note payable was translated to $300,072.

Stock options

 

Stock options awarded to employees and non-employees by the Company are measured and recognized in the condensed interim consolidated statement of comprehensive loss over the vesting period.

 

The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan (the “2010 Plan”). The essential elements of the 2010 Plan provide that the aggregate number of common shares of the Company’s share capital that may be made issuable pursuant to options granted under the 2010 Plan (together with any other shares which may be issued under other share compensation plans of the Company) may not exceed 10% of the number of issued shares of the Company at the time of the granting of the options. Options granted under the 2010 Plan will have a maximum term of ten years. The exercise price of options granted under the 2010 Plan will not be less than the greater of the market price of the common shares (as defined by the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), currently defined as the 5 day volume weighted average price for the 5 trading days immediately preceding the date of grant) or the closing market price of the Company’s common shares for the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant), or such other price as may be agreed to by the Company and accepted by the TSX. Options granted under the 2010 Plan vest immediately, unless otherwise determined by the directors at the date of grant.

Stock-based compensation

 

The Company uses the fair value method for determining stock-based compensation for all options granted during the periods. The fair value of options granted was $1,093,938 (2014 - $1,449,654), determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions:

 

For the nine months ended February 28,		2015				2014
Risk-free interest rate			1.53	%			1.96	%
Expected life of options			4.70 years				5 years
Annualized volatility			68.85	%			100	%
Dividend yield			0.0	%			0.0	%
Exercise price		$	1.36			$	0.76
Fair value per share		$	0.72			$	0.59

 

 

Annualized volatility was determined by reference to historic volatility of similar entities following a comparable period in their lives.

 

Stock-based compensation has been allocated as follows:

 

For the nine months ended February 28,		2015				2014

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2015, and the related notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements and information as a result of many factors. See section heading “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below. All currency amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless noted otherwise.

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS REGARDING ESTIMATES OF MEASURED, INDICATED AND INFERRED RESOURCES AND PROVEN AND PROBABLE RESERVES

 

Corvus Gold Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our,” “Corvus” or the “Company”) is a mineral exploration company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The mineral estimates in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve” and “probable mineral reserve” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 “Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects” (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended. These definitions differ from the definitions in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”). Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves, and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.

 

In addition, the terms “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a mineral deposit in these categories will ever be converted into reserves. “Inferred mineral resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all, or any part, of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “reserves” by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.

 

Accordingly, information contained in this report and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain descriptions of our mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

The term “mineralized material” as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, although permissible under SEC Industry Guide 7, does not indicate “reserves” by SEC Industry Guide 7 standards. We cannot be certain that any part of the mineralized material will ever be confirmed or converted into SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant “reserves”. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the mineralized material will ever be confirmed or converted into reserves or that mineralized material can be economically or legally extracted.

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO ALL INVESTORS CONCERNING ECONOMIC ASSESSMENTS THAT INCLUDE INFERRED RESOURCES

 

The Company currently holds or has the right to acquire interests in an advanced stage exploration project in Nye County, Nevada referred to as the North Bullfrog Project (the “NBP”). Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves have no demonstrated economic viability. The preliminary assessments on the NBP are preliminary in nature and include “inferred mineral resources” that have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. It cannot be assumed that all, or any part, of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies. There is no certainty that such inferred mineral resources at the NBP will ever be realized. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource exists or is economically or legally mineable.

Current Business Activities

 

General

 

The Company’s material mineral property is the NBP, an advanced exploration stage project in Nevada which has a number of high-priority, bulk tonnage and high-grade vein targets (held through Corvus Gold Nevada Inc. (“Corvus Nevada”), a Nevada subsidiary). In addition, the Company holds a 100% interest in three early stage projects in Alaska (Chisna, LMS and West Pogo) through its Alaskan subsidiary, Raven Gold Alaska Inc. (“Raven Gold”).

 

The primary focus of the Company will be to leverage its exploration expertise to discover major new gold deposits. Other than with respect to the ongoing exploration of the NBP, the Company’s strategy is to leverage its assets by utilizing partner funding during the high-cost, development phase of exploration to minimize shareholder financial risk while building a non-operator, gold production portfolio with carried interests and royalty exposure. To meet this objective, the Company is presently looking for joint venture partners to advance exploration on the LMS, West Pogo and Chisna projects.

 

Highlights of activities during the period and to the date of this MD&A include:

 

·

NBP Exploration: All assays have now been returned for the calendar year 2014 drill program. These data will form the basis for a revised resource estimate currently underway. The revised resource is expected to be published in Q2 of calendar year 2015. McClelland Laboratories is currently undertaking metallurgical testing on PQ core composites from the calendar year 2014 drilling. The NBP property has been expanded again through the addition of new Federal claims to cover more of the eastern alteration area. In addition, the Company’s lease with Kolo Corp. was expanded to cover additional private land containing the historical patented Sunflower mining claim group, in the Yellow Rose area.

  

·

The Company finalized a $4,500,000 non-brokered private placement. Pursuant to the financing, the Company issued 4,500,000 common shares at a price of $1.00 per share. Insider participants in the private placement include Tocqueville Asset Management L.P. and AngloGold Ashanti (USA) Exploration Inc., two of the Company's largest and long term shareholders.

 

 

Nevada Property

 

North Bullfrog Project

 

Our principal mineral property is the NBP, a gold exploration project located in northwestern Nye County, Nevada, in the Northern Bullfrog Hills about 15 km north of the town of Beatty. The NBP has indicated and inferred resources as defined under NI 43-101 criteria. The NBP technical information is in part summarized in the NI 43-101 technical report entitled “Technical Report – The North Bullfrog Project, Bullfrog Mining District, Nye County, Nevada” and dated April 1, 2014, which was prepared for us by Scott W. Wilson, SME, of Metal Mining Consultants, Inc., Gary Giroux, M.A. Sc., P. Eng. (BC), of Giroux Consultants Ltd. and Herbert Osborne, Metallurgical Eng., SME, of H. C. Osborne and Associates (the “NBP Technical Report”).

 

The NBP does not have SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant proven or probable reserves and our operations on the NBP are exploratory in nature.

 

The NBP is located in the Bullfrog Hills of northwestern Nye County, Nevada (Figure 1) and is 100% controlled by the Company. The NBP covers about 7,200 hectares of patented and unpatented mining claims in Sections 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36 of T10S, R46E; Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 of T11S, R46E; Sections 30, 31 and 32 of T10S, R47E; and Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 16, 17, and 18 of T11S, R47E, MDBM. The Company has a total of nine option/lease agreements in place that give us control of an aggregate of 49 patented lode mining claims (Figure 2).

 

Based upon a USD1300 gold price and a silver to gold price ratio of 59:1, the NBP currently has estimated mineral resources defined in six deposits: the structurally controlled Yellowjacket milling deposit and the oxidized disseminated heap leach Sierra Blanca, Jolly Jane, Air Track West, Connection and Mayflower deposits. The Yellowjacket vein-style deposit has an Indicated Mineral Resource of 3.69 Mt at an average grade of 1.03 g/t gold and 5.52 g/t silver for 122,000 contained ounces of gold and 654,000 ounces of silver and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 18.40 Mt with an average grade of 0.94 g/t gold and 6.16 g/t silver for 555,000 contained ounces of gold and 3.64M ounces of silver, both at a 0.29 g/t gold cutoff. The five oxidized disseminated heap leach deposits contain an Indicated Mineral Resource of 25.72 Mt at an average grade of 0.29 g/t gold for 240,000 contained ounces of gold and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 185.99 Mt at 0.19 g/t gold for 1,136,000 contained ounces of gold (both at a 0.1 g/t gold cut-off), with appreciable silver credits. For full details with respect to the assumptions underlying the current resource estimate detailed herein, please review the NBP Technical Report.

In the NBP Technical Report, six areas of activity are identified to advance the NBP, with the suggested budget given in Table 1:

 

1.

in-fill drilling at the Sierra Blanca and Jolly Jane areas to reduce drill hole spacing to increase confidence/compliance in the mineralization estimates;

2.

step-out/definition drilling around the Sierra Blanca and Jolly Jane areas;

3.

further metallurgical testing to further define performance of a heap leach on the oxide and mixed-oxide/sulfide portion of the mineralization and define performance of gravity and cyanide leach milling processes;

4.

re-evaluation of the several known alteration/geochemical anomalies which should result in the identification of additional drill targets;

5.

expansion of the drill testing of structural systems at Yellowjacket and other potential structural targets, and

6.

development of environmental baseline data which requires a 1-year historical record prior to beginning the permitting process.

 

Table 1: Proposed Budget to Support Recommended Program at the NBP

 

Administration, Exploration and Resource Drilling for Mayflower, Sierra Blanca and Jolly Jane	USD 5.8 M
Baseline Metallurgical Testing	USD 0.4 M
Baseline Data Collection	USD 0.8 M
Total	USD 7.0 M

 

The Company is proceeding with the recommended program.

 

Drilling at Sierra Blanca and Yellowjacket began in February 2014 and was completed for 2014 in November. During that time approximately 11,024 metres of core drilling was completed. Phase I drilling, which focused on the delineation of the West Vein and northern extension, was completed in June 2014 and Phase II, which was focused on the Josh Vein and the southern extensions, began in July. As part of Phase II, two core rigs were operated beginning in September 2014. Part of the drilling was PQ3 diameter core to collect sample material for metallurgical testing. Water samples were collected on a quarterly basis from the monitor wells and springs in the area. The latest sampling event was in March 2015. A meteorological station has been maintained and continues to collect continuous data in the NBP area.

 

 

Following the return of all results from the Phase I and II 2014 programs, the Company plans on calculating a new resource estimate for the NBP in the second calendar quarter of 2015. This new resource estimate will form the basis of an initial PEA that will incorporate the Yellowjacket discovery. The PEA is presently scheduled to be completed in the third calendar quarter of 2015. In addition, the Company is engaged in detailed metallurgical studies of the new high-grade mineralization which have to date provided very encouraging initial results. The NBP is also being advanced on a number of development fronts as well as project characterization work ahead of permitting.

 

A summary of expenditures for the three months ended February 28, 2015 is provided in Table 2.

 

Table 2: NBP Expenditures in Q3 2015

 

Project Labor	$ 0.140M
Drilling	0.035M
Assay Costs	0.315M

Total NBP	$ 0.706M

 

Recent Exploration Work

 

Recent Drilling at the Yellowjacket Zone

 

During this period the Company has now received the assay results from the 18 additional drill holes and one road-cut chip-channel sample profile that were completed as part of Phase II of the 2014 drill program. This drilling helps delineate the down-dip extension of the vein and adds to the continuity to the south (Figure 3, Table 3).

 

The focus of recent exploration at NBP was to:

•

delineate the down dip extension of the Josh Vein system;

•

delineate the southern extensions along strike;

•

explore other untested vein targets within the greater Yellowjacket system; and

•

collect sample material for metallurgical testing.

 

Josh Vein Down-Dip and Infill Exploration

 

Holes NB-14-408, 409 and 415 were all designed to define the down-dip location of the Josh Vein structure (Figure 3). These holes show that the vein structure continues to at least 225m metres down-dip from the surface. Hole NB-14-415, with 0.9 metres of 78.90g/t gold in the hangingwall stockwork, indicates that high-grade mineralization continues to be present at these depths (Table 3).

 

Holes NB-14-411 (3.7 metres of 5.7g/t gold) tested the upper limits of the Josh Vein against the NW10 fault zone while hole NB-14-418 (37.7m of 4.1g/t gold and 75.4 g/t silver) was designed to fill a gap in the upper part of the vein where metallurgical sample material was needed. In hole NB-14-413 the hangingwall of the Josh Vein was faulted out but the footwall stockwork zone still returned an intercept of 4.2 metres of 5.9g/t gold.

 

Holes NB-14-410, 412, 414 and 416 were all designed to collect metallurgical sample material and infill the area where the vein turns to follow the NE50 Fault zone (Figure 3). Both NB-14-410 (9.9 metres of 3.2g/t gold and 124g.t silver) and NB-14-414 (22.6 metres of 4.2g/t gold and 16.2g/t silver) encountered well-defined vein and stockwork zones. Holes NB-14-412 (28.4 metres of 0.97g/t gold) and NB-14-416 (26.3 metres of 0.59g/t gold), drilled down-dip from NB-14-410 and NB-14-412 respectively, encountered well-developed quartz vein intervals but with lower grades.

 

Josh Vein Southern Limits

 

Holes NB-14-420, 423 and 424 were all drilled to test the Josh Vein structure down-dip and south of the discovery hole NB-12-138 (Figure 3). NB-14-420 (11.5 metres of 0.78g/t gold) (Table 3) encountered the vein structure approximately 30 metres below the intercept in NB-12-181 (5.3 metres of 0.59g/t gold). NB-14-424 (7.3 metres of 0.56g/t gold) was drilled approximately 30 metres along strike to the south of hole NB-12-181 and encountered a significant quartz vein but its location is offset from the projected location of the Josh Vein. In hole NB-14-423, projected to intersect the Josh Vein 30 metres below the intercept in NB-14-424, it appears that the Josh Vein is eliminated by a fault known as the Deep Gently West Dipping Fault Zone. It appears that in the southern extent of the Josh Vein, preservation is controlled by the intersection of the Liberator Fault and this deep subsurface feature.

 

 

New Mineralized Zones

 

In the process of drill pad construction on the top of Sierra Blanca a number of quartz veins were encountered in the road cuts. Subsequent chip-channel sampling along the road cuts confirmed that there were two mineralized vein zones yielding 7.6 metres of 0.5g/t gold and 6.1 metres of 0.79 g/t gold in sample profile SBRC-15 (Figure 3, Table 3). There results together with recent mapping along ridge at Sierra Blanca North have highlighted the potential for more vein mineralization under this ridge.

 

Metallurgical Sampling

 

Early testing has suggested that gravity concentration will play an important role in recovering the coarse gold from the Josh Vein and associated stockworks. In order to better characterize the performance of gravity concentration additional PQ core was drilled in 2014 and a total of seven metallurgical composites totaling 2700 kilograms of material have been submitted to McClelland Laboratories in Reno, Nevada for gravity separation and leaching tests. The composites were designed with grades ranging from 0.8 to 9.4 g/t gold and vein concentrations ranging from <5% to >50%. The composites range in weight from 300 to 500 kilograms and are designed to yield enough gravity concentrate mass to allow the evaluation of intensive cyanide leaching on the concentrates.

*The veining and stockwork veining have been defined by geological observation of the percentage of veining in the interval, e.g. significant concentrations of veining in the immediate hangingwall and footwall of the main structure. Several intersections are below the assumed economic cutoff of 0.3g/t gold and are reported simply to indicate the tenor of the mineralization along the Josh Vein Fault.

Results of Operations

 

Nine months ended February 28, 2015 Compared to Nine months ended February 28, 2014

 

For the nine months ended February 28, 2015, the Company had a net loss of $8,201,295 compared to a net loss of $8,006,256 in the comparative period of the prior year. Included in net loss was $1,145,473 (2014 - $1,361,513) in stock-based compensation charges which is a result of stock options granted during the period and previously granted stock options which vested during the period. The increase in loss of $195,039 in the nine month period of the current year was due to a combination of factors discussed below.

 

The primary factor for the decrease in the net loss was the exploration expenditures of $4,440,272 incurred in the current period compared to $6,246,256 in the comparative period of the prior year. The exploration activities of the Company decreased mainly due to less funding being available in the current period compared with the comparative period of the prior year and a decrease in stock-based compensation charges of $30,765 in the current period compared to $47,237 in the prior period.

 

Consulting fees increased to $609,566 (2014 - $517,836) mainly due to increased stock-based compensation charges of $414,066 during the current period compared to $340,812 in the prior period.

 

Insurance expenses increased to $59,819 (2014 - $39,138) mainly due to increased insurance coverage incurred during the current period as a result of the Company’s registration of its securities in the United States.

 

Investor relations expenses decreased to $733,262 (2014- $913,436) due to decreased stock-based compensation charges of $164,611 during the current period compared to $281,390 in the prior period. This was further decreased by $63,395 due to a combination of decreases in investor relations-related travel, advertising and marketing, and the number of personnel engaged as the Company worked on completing the financings which closed at the end of August 2014 and at the end of February 2015.

 

Professional fees increased to $411,616 (2014 - $329,344). While stock-based compensation charges of $39,458 during the current period were less than the $50,986 in the prior period, this decrease was offset by an increase of $19,970 in legal and accounting fees in the current period compared to the prior period as a result of the Company registering its securities in the United States and termination payment of $73,830 to a former consultant in the current period.

 

Regulatory expenses increased to $148,484 (2014 - $82,470) due to additional filing and listing fees incurred in the current period due to the Company’s registration of its securities in the US.

 

Travel expenses increased to $107,237 (2014 - $83,662) mainly due to more attendance at trade shows and conferences to offset the decrease in investor relations-related travel, advertising and marketing in the current period compared to the prior period.

 

Wages and benefits increased to $1,494,033 (2014 - $1,470,210). While stock-based compensation charges of $496,573 during the current period was less than the $641,088 in the prior period. This decrease was offset by an increase of $168,338 in wages and benefits in the current period mainly as a result of adjustment in wages of several senior executive officers.

 

Other expense categories that reflected only moderate change period over period were administration expenses of $9,541 (2014 - $8,040), depreciation expenses of $20,697 (2014 - $14,976), office expenses of $109,561 (2014 - $105,960) and rent expenses of $71,871 (2014 – $69,916).

 

Other items amounted to an income of $14,664 compared to an income of $1,874,988 in the prior period. There was a gain on sale of the Company’s interest in the Terra property of $nil in the current period compared to $1,840,480 and an unrealized loss on marketable securities of $60,305 in the current period compared to $nil in the comparative period of the prior year. There was an increase in foreign exchange to a gain of $58,839 (2014 – loss of $3,949), which is the result of factors outside of the Company’s control and a decrease in interest income of $16,130 (2014 - $38,457) as a result of less investment in cashable GIC’s during the current period.

 

Three months ended February 28, 2015 Compared to Three months ended February 28, 2014

 

For the three months ended February 28, 2015, the Company had a net loss of $2,148,324 compared to a net loss of $1,087,665 in the comparative period of the prior year. Included in net loss was $328,011 (2014 - $474,832) in stock-based compensation charges which is a result of stock options granted during the period and previously granted stock options which vested during the period. The increase in loss of $1,060,659 in the three month period of the current year was due to a combination of factors discussed below.

 

 

Consulting fees increased to $235,627 (2014 - $196,134) mainly due to increased stock-based compensation charges of $148,627 during the current period compared to $121,134 in the prior period combined with an increase in consulting fees of $12,000 mainly related to fees charged for the Company’s registration of its securities in the United States.

 

Exploration expenditures of $648,083 incurred in the current period compared to $1,464,662 in the comparative period of the prior year. The exploration activities of the Company decreased mainly due to less funding being available in the current period compared with the comparative period of the prior year and a decrease in stock-based compensation charges of $5,918 in the current period compared to $16,074 in the prior period.

Professional fees decreased to $83,574 (2014 - $125,422) mainly due to decreased stock-based compensation charges of $9,180 during the current period compared to $18,373 in the prior period and a decrease of $32,655 in legal and accounting fees in the current period compared to the prior period. There was a decrease in accounting fees in the current period due to additional fees charged in the prior period related to the conversion to U.S. GAAP and a decrease in legal fees in the current period mainly due to the termination of the Company’s agreement with a former consultant.

 

Wages and benefits decreased to $674,956 (2014 - $693,672) mainly due to a decrease in stock-based compensation charges of $121,512 in the current period compared to $230,732 in the prior period. This decrease was offset by an increase of $90,504 in wages and benefits in the current period mainly as a result of adjustment in wages of several senior executive officers.

 

Other expense categories that reflected only moderate change period over period were administration expenses of $3,368 (2014 - $2,921), depreciation expenses of $7,293 (2014 - $5,134), office expenses of $38,376 (2014 - $36,548), regulatory expenses of $62,791 (2014 - $53,441), rent expenses of $24,049 (2014 – $23,633) and travel expenses of $45,387 (2014 - $21,277).

There was an increase in foreign exchange to a loss of $6,517 (2014 – gain of $26,703), which is the result of factors outside of the Company’s control and an increase in interest income of $5,737 (2014 - $5,026) as a result of less investment in cashable GIC’s during the current period.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has no revenue generating operations from which it can internally generate funds. To date, the Company’s ongoing operations have been financed by the sale of its equity securities by way of public offerings, private placements and the exercise of incentive stock options and share purchase warrants. The Company believes that it will be able to secure additional private placements and public financings in the future, although it cannot predict the size or pricing of any such financings. In addition, the Company can raise funds through the sale of interests in its mineral properties, although current market conditions have substantially reduced the number of potential buyers/acquirers of any such interest(s). This situation is unlikely to change until such time as the Company can develop a bankable feasibility study on one of its projects. When acquiring an interest in mineral properties through purchase or option, the Company will sometimes issue common shares to the vendor or optionee of the property as partial or full consideration for the property interest in order to conserve its cash.

 

The Company reported cash and cash equivalents of $6,979,295 as at February 28, 2015 compared to $3,227,970 as at May 31, 2014. The change in cash position was the net result of $13,822 used on property and equipment, $7,453,819 used for operating activities, $522,332 received from the replacement of reclamation bonds, and $10,499,283 received from both the public offering of common shares in August of 2014 and the private placement of common shares in February of 2015 (net of share issue costs) and exercise of stock options during the nine months ended February 28, 2015.

 

As at February 28, 2015, the Company had working capital of $6,813,061 compared to working capital of $2,986,574 as at May 31, 2014. The Company expects that it will operate at a loss for the foreseeable future and believes the current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient for it to maintain its currently held properties, and fund its currently anticipated general and administrative costs, for the balance of the year ending May 31, 2015 and until December 31, 2015. The Company’s current anticipated operating expenses are $859,000 until May 31, 2015 and $5,000,000 until December 31, 2015. The Company’s anticipated monthly burn rate averages approximately $286,000 for March to May 2015, where approximately $208,000 is for administrative purposes and approximately $78,000 is for planned exploration expenditures related to the completion of the ongoing Phase II exploration program at the NBP. From June to December 2015, the monthly burn rate averages approximately $714,000, of which $208,000 is for administrative purposes and approximately $506,000 is for planned exploration expenditures related to the ongoing Phase II exploration program at the NBP. The Company anticipates that it will pursue additional public or private equity financings toward the end of 2015 to raise additional funds for additional exploration at the NBP for the 2016 calendar year. In any event, the Company will be required to raise additional funds, again through public or private equity financings, prior to the end of December 2015 in order to continue in business. Should such financing not be available in that time-frame, the Company will be required to reduce its activities and will not be able to carry out all of its presently planned exploration and development activities at the NBP on its currently anticipated scheduling.

 

 

The Company currently has no further funding commitments or arrangements for additional financing at this time (other than the potential exercise of incentive stock options) and there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, if at all. There is significant uncertainty that the Company will be able to secure any additional financing in the current equity markets. The quantity of funds to be raised and the terms of any proposed equity financing that may be undertaken will be negotiated by management as opportunities to raise funds arise. Specific plans related to the use of proceeds will be devised once the proposed offering has been completed and management knows what funds will be available for these purposes.

 

The Company has no exposure to any asset-backed commercial paper. Other than cash held by its subsidiaries for their immediate operating needs in Alaska and Nevada, all of the Company’s cash reserves are on deposit with a major Canadian chartered bank. The Company does not believe that the credit, liquidity or market risks with respect thereto have increased as a result of the current market conditions. However, in order to achieve greater security for the preservation of its capital, the Company has, of necessity, been required to accept lower rates of interest, which has also lowered its potential interest income.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Environmental Regulations

 

The operations of the Company may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degrees by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures

 

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders

 

The Company has been a “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes in recent years and expects to continue to be a PFIC in the future. Current and prospective U.S. shareholders should consult their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of PFIC classification and the U.S. federal tax treatment of PFICs. Additional information on this matter is included in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1/A as filed with the SEC on August 7, 2014, under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

*Unaudited Cost Reporting

 

Actual Company Administration expenditures were above the planned expenditures mainly due to additional regulatory filings related to the filing of the S-1, termination payment paid to consultant, increase in wages due to wage adjustment and increase in travel and tradeshows during the period. Actual Land & Corp Support and Project Studies expenditures are above the planned expenditures as payments scheduled for fiscal 2015 Q4 were paid in fiscal 2015 Q3. Actual Drilling and Assay Costs are below the planned expenditures as the Company drilled fewer metres than originally planned.

 

 

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

 

None.

 

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

 

Pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act, issuers that are operators, or that have a subsidiary that is an operator, of a coal or other mine in the United States are required to disclose specified information about mine health and safety in their periodic reports. These reporting requirements are based on the safety and health requirements applicable to mines under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”) which is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”). During the nine month period ended February 28, 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries and their properties or operations were not subject to regulation by MSHA under the Mine Act and thus no disclosure is required under Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act.

 

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
