PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

The following summary highlights material information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our common stock. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. You should also review the other available information referred to in the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus and any amendment or supplement hereto. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms the “Company,” “Rancho Santa Fe Mining,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer and relate to Rancho Santa Fe Mining, Inc.

 

The Company Overview

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 24 2015. We were incorporated and our business plan called for the Company to seek out and acquire various mining assets in the State of Nevada. Rancho Santa Fe Mining Inc. is a precious metals exploration and development company with the objective of becoming a gold producer. The Company is currently focused on the advancement of its two principal projects: the Virginia and Vanity Fair patented claims.

 

On October 28, 2015, the Company entered into a Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase”) with Humboldt Mining Company, Inc., an Nevada corporation (“HMCI”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of certain assets owned by HMCI, including, but not limited to: (i) all the real property, leasehold improvements, fixtures, furniture, machinery and equipment owned by the HMCI and relating to or used in HMCI’s operations; and, (ii) all inventory, including finished goods, raw materials and work in process as well as the right to receive inventory ordered by the HMCI for use in its operations; and, (iii) in addition to the foregoing, we acquired all the books and records of HMCI, as well as all intangible assets held, owned or controlled by HMCI (collectively, (i), (ii) and (iii) are referred to hereinafter as the “Acquired Assets”. We acquired none of HMCI’s existing or future liabilities. The acquired assets herein do not constitute an active business.

 

In exchange for the Acquired Assets the Company issued to the HMCI shareholders Thirteen Million Five Hundred Thousand shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock, which represented Fifty (50%) percent of the Company’s issues and outstanding shares at the time of issuance. A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement may be found as an Exhibit attached to this Registration Statement.

 

Company now owns land and patented mining rights North of Elko, Nevada nearby the formation known as the Carlin Trend. The Carlin Trend is the second-largest known gold resource in the world and has produced over 70 million ounces of gold. The Company’s property includes two patented claims – the Virginia and Vanity Fair patented claims - comprising what is known as the Prunty Mine Area.

 

The importance of these patented claims cannot be underestimated, insomuch as they have been referred to independently as “unique, rare and exceptional.” The “unique, rare and exceptional” are terms used in mining to denote multidimensional associations of claims as they relate location, uniqueness and quality. Further, in accordance with the Apex Rule in Mining, along the primary axis of the claims the Company is allowed to follow and continue mining the Prunty Mine area beyond the properties presently owned by the Company.

 

Operationally over the next 2-5 years, the Company intends to outsource fully 100% of the exploration, site preparation and extraction operations to a third party who provides all manpower, equipment and operational expenses associated therewith. It is intended the third party pays the Company a royalty of 20% to 30% of the gold reserves recovered and sold. We have begun initial discussions with several third-party candidates. The Company plans to retain four full-time staff and lease nominal executive office facilities in Nevada. Services such as Legal, Accounting, Shareholder Relations and Geology can be outsourced to consultants as needed. Business Development is limited to developing and maintaining a website presence, and nominal travel and business entertainment expense. The primary additional operations entail Asset Development, which includes the maintenance of applicable permits and claim renewals, as well as the outsourced production of independent Reserve Reports annually.

 

Emerging Growth Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with certain regulatory requirements applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including but not limited to: not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and being exempt from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and securing stockholder approval of golden parachute payments. We intend to take advantage of these reduced regulatory requirements until we are no longer an emerging growth company. For a description of the qualifications and other requirements applicable to emerging growth companies, and certain elections we have made due to our status as an emerging growth company, see “Risk Factors—”As an ‘emerging growth company’ under applicable law, we will be subject to reduced disclosure requirements, which could leave our stockholders without information or rights available to stockholders of more mature companies”.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this Prospectus before investing in our Common Stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. Currently, shares of our Common Stock are not publicly traded. In the event that shares of our Common Stock become publicly traded, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment. In the event our Common Stock fails to become publicly traded you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

 

We are an exploration stage company and may never be able to carry out business or achieve any revenues or profitability; at this stage, even with good faith efforts, potential investors have a high probability of losing their entire investment.

 

We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this current report. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new 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.

 

There is nothing at this time on which to base an assumption that our business operations will prove to be successful or that we will ever be able to operate profitably. We anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses in the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that we will ever achieve any revenues or profitability. The revenue and income potential of our proposed business and operations is unproven, as the lack of operating history makes it difficult to evaluate the future prospects of our business.

 

We are dependent on our two principal projects for our future operating revenue, neither of which currently has proven or probable reserves.

 

The Virginia and the Vanity Fair Project do not have identified proven and probable mineral reserves. The costs, timing and complexities of upgrading either property to proven and probable reserves may be greater than we anticipate. Mineral exploration and development involves a high degree of risk that even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge cannot eliminate, and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There is no assurance that our mineral exploration programs will establish the presence of any proven or probable mineral reserves. The failure to establish proven or probable reserves would severely restrict our ability to implement our strategies for long-term growth.

 

We cannot be certain that our acquisition, exploration and evaluation activities will be commercially successful.

 

We currently have no properties that produce gold in commercial quantities. Substantial expenditures are required to acquire existing mining properties, to establish ore reserves through drilling and analysis, to develop metallurgical processes to extract metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any site chosen for mining. We cannot provide assurance that any gold or other metal reserves or mineralized material acquired or discovered will be in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that the funds required for development can be obtained on a timely basis. Factors including costs, actual mineralization, consistency and reliability of ore grades and commodity prices affect successful project development, could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations.

 

Actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns may differ significantly from those we have anticipated and there are no assurances that any future development activities will result in profitable mining operations.

 

The capital costs to take our claims into production may be significantly higher than anticipated. We may ultimately base our decisions about the development of the projects based on a feasibility study. We have not prepared a feasibility study for the either, but we may use a portion of the proceeds of the offering to produce one if we deem it necessary or appropriate to do so. Our evaluations of our business and prospects are subject to change, including after any feasibility study has been conducted, which could materially adversely affect our prospects.

 

 6 

 

Historical production at either of our claims may not be indicative of the potential for future development.

 

There is currently no commercial production at either claim and, since acquiring ownership; we have never recorded any revenues from commercial production. You should not rely on the fact that there were historical mining operations at the either claim as an indication that we will ever have future successful commercial operations. In order for us to develop new mining operations, we will be required to incur substantial operating expenses and capital expenditures to refurbish and/or replace existing infrastructure.

 

Land reclamation and mine closure may be burdensome and costly.

 

Land reclamation and mine closure requirements are generally imposed on mineral exploration companies, such as ours, which require us, among other things, to minimize the effects of land disturbance. Such requirements may include controlling the discharge of potentially dangerous effluents from a site and restoring a site’s landscape to its pre-exploration form. The actual costs of reclamation and mine closure are uncertain and planned expenditures may differ from the actual expenditures required. Therefore, the amount that we are required to spend could be materially higher than current estimates. Any additional amounts required to be spent on reclamation and mine closure may have a material adverse effect on our financial performance, financial position and results of operations and may cause us to alter our operations. In addition, we are required to maintain financial assurances, such as letters of credit, to secure reclamation obligations under certain laws and regulations. The failure to acquire, maintain or renew such financial assurances could subject us to fines and penalties or suspension of our operations. Additionally, even if we cease exploration at either claim we will be required to expend cash and other resources to satisfy ongoing care and maintenance obligations.

 

Our operations involve significant risks and hazards inherent to the mining industry.

 

Our operations involve the operation of large pieces of drilling and other heavy equipment. Hazards such as fire, explosion, floods, structural collapses, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, ground control problems, cave-ins, flooding and mechanical equipment failure are inherent risks in our operations. Hazards inherent to the mining industry can cause injuries or death to employees, contractors or other persons at our mineral properties, severe damage to and destruction of our property, plant and equipment and mineral properties, and contamination of, or damage to, the environment, and can result in the suspension of our exploration activities and any future development and production activities. While the Company aims to maintain best safety practices as part of its culture, safety measures implemented by us may not be successful in preventing or mitigating future accidents.

 

The mining industry is very competitive.

 

The mining industry is very competitive. Much of our competition is from larger, established mining companies with greater liquidity, greater access to credit and other financial resources, newer or more efficient equipment, lower cost structures, more effective risk management policies and procedures and/or a greater ability than us to withstand losses. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new laws or regulations or emerging technologies, or devote greater resources to the expansion or efficiency of their operations than we can. In addition, current and potential competitors may make strategic acquisitions or establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties. Accordingly, it is possible that new competitors or alliances among current and new competitors may emerge and gain significant market share to our detriment. We may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Mining exploration, development and operating activities are inherently hazardous.

 

Mineral exploration involves many risks that even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Operations in which we have direct or indirect interests will be subject to all the hazards and risks normally incidental to exploration, development and production of gold and other metals, any of which could result in work stoppages, damage to property and possible environmental damage. The nature of these risks is such that liabilities might exceed any liability insurance policy limits. It is also possible that the liabilities and hazards might not be insurable, or, that the Company could elect not to be insured against such liabilities due to high premium costs or other reasons, in which event, significant costs could be incurred that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

 

Reserve calculations are estimates only, subject to uncertainty due to factors including metal prices, inherent variability of ore, and recoverability of metals in the mining process.

 

There is a degree of uncertainty attributable to the calculation of reserves and corresponding grades dedicated to future production. Until reserves are actually mined and processed, the quantity of ore and grades must be considered as an estimate only. In addition, the quantity of reserves and ore may vary depending on metal prices. Any material change in the quantity of reserves, mineralization, grade or stripping ratio may affect the economic viability of our properties. In addition, there can be no assurance that gold recoveries or other metal recoveries in small-scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in larger scale tests under on-site conditions or during production.

 

 7 

 

We may be unable to raise additional capital on favorable terms.

 

The exploration and development of our development properties will require significant capital investment to achieve commercial production. We may have to raise additional funds from external sources in order to maintain and advance our existing property positions and to acquire new gold projects. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available at all or on acceptable terms and, if additional financing is not available, we may have to substantially reduce or cease operations.

 

Our exploration and eventual development operations are subject to environmental regulations, which could result in the incurrence of additional costs and operational delays.

 

All phases of operations are subject to environmental regulation. Environmental legislation is evolving in some jurisdictions in a manner which will require stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulations, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s projects. We will be subject to environmental regulations with respect to properties in Nevada, under applicable federal and state laws and regulations. Production at either claim may involve the use of sodium cyanide, which is a toxic material. Should sodium cyanide leak or otherwise be discharged from the containment system, then we may become subject to liability for cleanup work that may not be insured. While appropriate steps will be taken to prevent discharges of pollutants into the ground water and the environment, we may become subject to liability for hazards that it may not be insured against.

 

U.S. Federal Laws

 

Under the U.S. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, mining companies may incur costs for generating, transporting, treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous waste, as well as for closure and post-closure maintenance once they have completed mining activities on a property. Mining operations may produce air emissions, including fugitive dust and other air pollutants, from stationary equipment, storage facilities, and the use of mobile sources such as trucks and heavy construction equipment which are subject to review, monitoring and/or control requirements under the Federal Clean Air Act and state air quality laws. Permitting rules may impose limitations on the Company’s production levels or create additional capital expenditures in order to comply with the rules.

 

The U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (CERCLA), imposes strict joint and several liability on parties associated with releases or threats of releases of hazardous substances. The groups who could be found liable include, among others, the current owners and operators of facilities, which release hazardous substances into the environment and past owners and operators of properties who owned such properties at the time the disposal of the hazardous substances occurred. This liability could include the cost of removal or remediation of the release and damages for injury to the surrounding property. The Company cannot predict the potential for future CERCLA liability with respect to its properties.

 

Increased costs could affect our financial condition.

 

We anticipate that costs will frequently be subject to variation from one year to the next due to a number of factors, such as changing ore grade, metallurgy and revisions to mine plans in response to the physical shape and location of the ore body. In addition, costs are affected by the price of commodities such as fuel and electricity. Such commodities are at times subject to volatile price movements, including increases that could make production at certain operations less profitable. A material increase in costs at any significant location could have a significant effect on profitability.

 

Difficult conditions in the global capital markets and the economy generally may materially adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Factors such as business investment, government spending, the volatility and strength of the capital markets, and inflation all affect the business and economic environment and, ultimately, the profitability of our business. In an economic downturn characterized by higher unemployment, lower corporate earnings and lower business investment, our operations could be negatively impacted. Purchasers of gold production may delay or be unable to make timely payments. Adverse changes in the economy could affect earnings negatively and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial conditions.

 

 8 

 

A shortage of equipment and supplies could adversely affect our ability to operate our business.

 

We will be dependent on various supplies and equipment to carry out our mining exploration and development operations. The shortage of such supplies, equipment and parts could have a material adverse effect on our ability to carry out our operations and therefore, limit or increase the cost of production.

 

If we lose key personnel or are unable to attract and retain additional personnel, we may be unable to establish and develop our business.

 

Our development in the future will be highly dependent on the efforts of key management employees. We do not have and currently have no plans to obtain key man insurance with respect to any key employees. As well, we will need to recruit and retain other qualified managerial and technical employees to build and maintain our operations. If we are unable to successfully recruit and retain such persons, then development and growth could be significantly curtailed.

 

Principal stockholders will be able to exert significant influence over matters submitted to stockholders for approval, which could delay or prevent a change in corporate control or result in the entrenchment of management or the Board of Directors, possibly conflicting with the interests of other stockholders.

 

Major shareholders and the President’s position on the Board could exert significant influence in determining the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval and otherwise control of our business. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or entrenching management or the Board of Directors, which could conflict with the interests of our other stockholders and, consequently, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation exculpates our officers and directors from certain liability to our Company or our stockholders.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation contain a provision limiting the liability of our officers and directors for their acts or failures to act, except for acts involving intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. This limitation on liability may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors and may discourage or deter our stockholders from suing our officers and directors based upon breaches of their duties to our Company.

 

Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

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

 

Our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.

 

We have a “going concern” opinion from our auditors, indicating the possibility that we may not be able to continue to operate.

 

Our independent registered public accountants have expressed doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds by issuing new debt or equity securities or otherwise. If we fail to raise sufficient capital when needed, we will not be able to complete our proposed business. As a result we may have to liquidate our business and investors may lose their investments. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish its plan of operations described herein and eventually attain profitable operations. Investors should consider our independent registered public accountant’s comments when deciding whether to invest in the Company.

RISKS RELATED TO THE OFFERING

 

The Company’s stock price may be volatile.

 

The market price of the Company’s common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various potential factors, many of which will be beyond the Company’s control, including the following:

 

·competition;
·additions or departures of key personnel;
·the Company’s ability to execute its business plan;
·operating results that fall below expectations;
·loss of any strategic relationship;
·industry developments;
·economic and other external factors; and
·period-to-period fluctuations in the Company’s financial results.

 

In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.

 

We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

We do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms or at all. We cannot assure you of a positive return on investment or that you will not lose the entire amount of your investment in our common stock.

 

We may in the future issue additional shares of our common stock which would reduce investors’ ownership interests in the Company and which may dilute our share value.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The future issuance of all or part of our remaining authorized common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.

 

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

 

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that relate to the application of the SEC’s penny stock rules in trading our securities and require that a broker/dealer have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer, prior to recommending the investment. Prior to recommending speculative, low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker/dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information.

 

Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative, low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA’s requirements make it more difficult for broker/dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker/dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a shareholder’s ability to resell shares of our common stock.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

As a result of there being no established public market for our shares, the offering price and other terms and conditions relative to our shares have been arbitrarily determined by the Company and do not bear any relationship to assets, earnings, book value, or any other objective criteria of value. In addition, no investment banker, appraiser, or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Our offering is being made in a direct public offering, without the involvement of underwriters or broker-dealers. We intend to disburse the proceeds from this offering in the priority set forth below within the first 12 months after successful completion of this offering.

 

Not taking into account any possible additional funding or revenues, we intend to use the proceeds from this offering as follows. The following chart indicates the approximate amount of funds that we will allocate to each item, but does not indicate the total fee/cost of each item.  The amount of proceeds we allocate to each item is dependent upon the amount of proceeds we receive from this offering:

 

If we sell all of the Shares being offered, our net proceeds will be $10,000,000. We will use the net proceeds to pay development costs and to hold and maintain the asset rights, as well as complete reserve reports to guide mining efforts and secure optimum royalty streams on the mining output and such efforts will continue until we become until cash-flow positive; operating expenses (including salaries; legal, accounting and consulting fees, rent; and other general administrative expenses); and working capital. The precise amounts that the Company will devote to each of these items, and the timing of expenditures, will vary depending on numerous factors, including but not limited to the progress of development efforts relating to each project. The following table sets forth a breakdown of the estimated use of the net proceeds as we currently expect to use them, assuming the sale of 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Shares offered for sale in this offering:

 

Assumed Percentage of Units Sold 100%   75%   50%   25% 
Price to Public  $10,000,000   $7,500,000   $5,000,000   $2,500,000 
Other offering expenses   82,900    82,900    82,900    82,900 
Net proceeds  $9,917,100   $7,417,100   $4,917,100   $2,417,100 
                     
Project development and commercialization  $1,150,000   $1,150,000   $1,150,000   $650,000 
Operating expenses   1,000,000    1,000,000    1,000,000    1,000,000 
Working capital   350,000    350,000    350,000    350,000 
Total use of proceeds  $2,500,000   $2,500,000   $2,500,000   $2,000,000 

 

As indicated in the table above, if we sell only 75%, or 50%, or 25% of the Units offered for sale in this offering, we would expect to use the resulting net proceeds for the same purposes as we would use the net proceeds from a sale of 100% of the Units, and in approximately the same proportions. However, the lower our net proceeds, the less we would expect to use the funds in the expenditure category “Development and Commercialization”, and the more we would expect to use those funds for the development and commercialization of the assets we have acquired.

 

In the event we do not sell all of the Shares being offered, we may seek additional financing to support the intended use of proceeds discussed above. If we secure additional equity funding, investors in this offering would be diluted. In all events, there can be no assurance that additional financing would be available when needed and, if available, on terms acceptable to us.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have not paid any dividends on our common stock since inception, and we currently expect that, in the foreseeable future, all earnings (if any) will be retained for the development of our business and no dividends will be declared or paid. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, our earnings (if any), operating results, financial condition and capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent facts.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION; TERMS OF THE OFFERING

 

Rancho Santa Fe Mining, Inc. has issued and outstanding as of the date of this Prospectus 27,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company is registering an additional 20,000,000 shares of its Common Stock for sale at the price of $0.50 per share.

 11 

 

In connection with the Company’s selling efforts in the offering, our officers and directors will not register as broker-dealers pursuant to Section 15 of the Exchange Act, but rather will rely upon the “safe harbor” provisions of SEC Rule 3a4-1, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Generally speaking, Rule 3a4-1 provides an exemption from the broker-dealer registration requirements of the Exchange Act for persons associated with an issuer that participate in the sale of the securities of such issuer.

 

Our officers and directors meet the conditions of the Rule 3a4-1 exemption, as: (1) they are not subject to any statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act; (2) they will not be compensated in connection with their participation in the direct public offering or resale offering by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in our securities; and (3) they will not be associated persons of a broker or dealer at the time of their participation in the direct public offering and resale offering. Further, our officers and directors: (1) at the end of the offerings, will continue to primarily perform substantial duties for the Company or on its behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; (2) are not, nor have been within the preceding 12 months, a broker or dealer, and they are not, nor have they been within the preceding 12 months, an associated person of a broker or dealer; and (3) they have not participated in another offering of securities pursuant to the Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1 in the past 12 months and they have not and will not participate in selling an offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on the Exchange Act Rule 3a4-1(a)(4)(i) or (iii).

 

In order to comply with the applicable securities laws of certain states, the securities will be offered or sold in those states only if they have been registered or qualified for sale; an exemption from such registration or if qualification requirement is available and with which the Company has complied. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the Company will be subject to applicable provisions, rules and regulations under the Exchange Act with regard to security transactions during the period of time when this Registration Statement is effective.

The Company will be offering shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the direct public offering at the same time that the Selling Shareholders will be offering shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the resale offering. The Selling Shareholders include our officers and directors who will be selling shares on their own behalf, individually. Pursuant to our informal Code of Ethics, our officers and directors have an ethical obligation to give their loyalty to the best interests of the Company. As such, our officers and directors will first offer shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the direct public offering on behalf of the Company and will offer their individual shares in the resale offering only if the direct public offering is fully subscribed.

There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold under the offering. As such, there is no guarantee that the Company will raise any funds from the offering.

 

Penny Stock Regulation

 

Our Common Shares are not quoted on any stock exchange or quotation system. The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange system).

 

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:

 

  • contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
  • contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties;
  • contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
  • contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
  • defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and,
  • contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format) as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with the following, prior to proceeding with any transaction in a penny stock:

 

  • bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
  • details of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
  • the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and,
  • monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

 

Registration Rights

 

We have not granted registration rights to any persons.

 

DILUTION

 

Net tangible book value per share represents the amount of the Company’s tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the 27,000,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 30, 2015 (note: the Company had 13,500,000 shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2015 pursuant to the financials enclosed herein). The increases in shares are attributable to the acquisition of the Company’s asset). Net tangible book value dilution per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of the Shares in this offering assuming the offering price of $0.50 per share of Common Stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of Common Stock immediately after completion of the offering.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS

 

The Company Overview

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 24 2015. We were incorporated and our business plan called for the Company to seek out and acquire various mining assets in the State of Nevada. Rancho Santa Fe Mining Inc. is a precious metals exploration and development company with the objective of becoming a gold producer. The Company is currently focused on the advancement of its two principal projects: the Virginia and Vanity Fair patented claims.

 

On October 28, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase”) with Humboldt Mining Company, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“HMCI”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of certain assets owned by HMCI, including, but not limited to: (i) all the real property, leasehold improvements, fixtures, furniture, machinery and equipment owned by the HMCI and relating to or used in HMCI’s operations; and, (ii) all inventory, including finished goods, raw materials and work in process as well as the right to receive inventory ordered by the HMCI for use in its operations; and, (iii) in addition to the foregoing, we acquired all the books and records of HMCI, as well as all intangible assets held, owned or controlled by HMCI (collectively, (i), (ii) and (iii) are referred to hereinafter as the “Acquired Assets”. We acquired none of HMCI’s existing or future liabilities.

 

In exchange for the Acquired Assets the Company issued to the HMCI shareholders Thirteen Million Five Hundred Thousand (13,500,000) shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock, which represented Fifty (50%) percent of the Company’s issues and outstanding shares at the time of issuance. A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement may be found as an Exhibit attached to this Registration Statement.

 

Company now owns land and patented mining rights North of Elko, Nevada nearby the formation known as the Carlin Trend. The Carlin Trend is the second-largest known gold resource in the world and has produced over 70 million ounces of gold. The Company’s property includes two patented claims – the Virginia and Vanity Fair patented claims - comprising what is known as the Prunty Mine Area.

 

The importance of these patented claims cannot be underestimated, insomuch as they have been referred to independently as “unique, rare and exceptional.” Further, in accordance with the Apex Rule in Mining, along the primary axis of the claims the Company is allowed to follow and continue mining the Prunty Mine area beyond the properties presently owned by the Company, even if following that mining axis extends beyond the patented claim.

 

Operationally over the next 2-5 years, the Company intends to outsource fully 100% of the exploration, site preparation and extraction operations to a third party who provides all manpower, equipment and operational expenses associated therewith. It is intended the third party pays the Company a royalty of 20% to 30% of the gold reserves recovered and sold. We have begun initial discussions with several third-party candidates. The Company plans to retain five full time staff and lease nominal executive office facilities in Nevada. All Legal, Accounting, Shareholder Relations and Geology can be outsourced to consultants as needed. Business Development is limited to developing and maintaining a website presence, and nominal travel and business entertainment expense. The primary additional operations entail Asset Development, which includes the maintenance of applicable permits and claim renewals, as well as the outsourced production of independent Reserve Reports annually.

 

Asset Analysis

 

Background

 

In 1912, Dr. Pinkard Prunty purchased 1,200 acres of Nevada wilderness from the then future President of the United States, Herbert Hoover. Gold was discovered on the land soon after. Dr. Prunty immediately employed day workers with pick axes to begin extraction, and over the next decades purchased an additional 120,000 acres with his gold revenues. After his death, the property passed to his children, who continued to successfully mine gold on the property with pick-axes. In 1979, family member Charles Leavitt reviewed the mine’s books and uncovered the fact that revenues had been mishandled, this lead to a dispute and the family closing the mine in 1980.

 

Since then, David Leavitt, inherited the land and the associated patented mining claims on the property. Leavitt was the Chairman of Humboldt Mining Company, Inc., which was acquired by Rancho Santa Fe Mining Inc.

 

 16 

 

   

Management believes there is persuasive evidence the geological structure of the area is potentially on a major mineralized zone, perhaps part of the Carlin Trend. The closing of the lands coincided with the introduction and adoption of industrial-scale cyanide leaching mining techniques in the nearby Carlin Trend. Following the advent of cyanide-leaching, the Carlin Trend has since produced more gold than any other mining district in the United States; over 70 million ounces of gold. Numerous sources estimate the Carlin Trend may still contain over 180 million ounces of gold.

 

Based on Management’s experience and all available documentation, we believe we have a “Carlin-type deposit,” this type of deposit posses what geologists call “disseminated gold.” It generally takes a microscope to see the gold in such deposits. In such deposits, the grade may be low but they make up for low-grade in high-volume. To extract gold from such low-grade deposits miners crush tons of rock, which is piled into heaps and irrigated with cyanide, an industrial-scale mining technique that was actually pioneered at the Carlin Trend. As the gold price shot up at the end of the 1970s, mining companies rushed to look for similar deposits around the world - just as the Prunty family’s lands were closed in a family dispute.

 

Map of the Mining Claims

 

 17 

 

Above indicates that the area enclosed in the yellow box represents the Virginia and Vanity Fair Patented Claims held by the Company, these lie along the broader “Northwest Corridor”. In accordance with the Apex Rule in Mining, along the primary axis of the claims, which is the Northwest Corridor, the Company believes that it will be allowed to follow and continue mining the Prunty Mine area beyond the area enclosed in yellow above, even if following that mining axis extends into properties owned by others.

 

According to an independent geologist opinion letter from Paul Pelke, dated September 1, 2015; “I estimate that all of the individual deposits that would be found could amount to a total possible resource of between 400,000 to 500,000 ounces of contained gold. The targets on the Prunty claim group alone could amount to 25% to 40% of the total potential resource.” Another independent geophysical, in 2011, stated that the most important target was the "Northwest Corridor". He also stated that the "beads" lying along this corridor likely are an artifact of the lines being run north-south 100 meters apart. Two of the largest "beads" lie along the Northwest Corridor and lie within the Virginia and Vanity Fair Patented claims (The Prunty Mine area). Drilling here would not require direct US Forest Service approval, just a go ahead from the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection located in Carson City, Nevada.”

Pelke Technical Evaluation Report

 

In addition to his September 2015 opinion letter, in August, 2011, Paul Pelke was retained as a consulting geologist to prepare a technical evaluation report (hereinafter referred to as the “Pelke Report) on the Humboldt Mines Project in northern Elko County, Nevada. The Pelke Report was completed February 24, 2012 and details the assets, locations, geology, production and exploration history of the Company’s patented lands. The key findings of the Pelke Report are summarized below.

 

The property has been drilled three times; in 1984, 1986 and 2010. Results have measured concentrations of Ounces of Gold per Ton (OPT) averaging from a low of 0.013 OPT to a high of 0.84 OPT. Mr. Pelke collected 6 samples from various locations on the property and subsequently for analysis by the ALS Chemex analytical laboratory in Reno, Nevada. These returned gold traces between 0.009 ppm (parts-per-million) and 32.4ppm. A concentration of 34.2857 ppm is 1.0 OPT.

 

Tenneco performed the 1986 drilling. One drill hole was outstanding at 0.8ppm. In at least 7 of the drill holes there were relatively long intervals ranging from 50 feet to 105 feet averaging on the order of 100 ppb (parts-per-billion). Those lower grade intercepts are significant indicator values and could indicate the hole may have intersected the margin of a potentially larger, higher-grade gold zone.

 

During the early summer of 2011, Humboldt Mining commissioned a ground magnetic survey of the Claim Group. Magee Geophysical Services of Reno, Nevada, carried out the survey and Wright Geophysics of Spring Creek, Nevada, completed the interpretation. Based on this data, Wright Geophysics produced two maps showing Areas of Interest (AOI). The ground magnetic survey delineates what is interpreted as a heavily intruded sedimentary terrain dominated by two primary structural orientations. Most prominent among the structures is a Northwest Corridor traversing the entire project area for 2 kilometers. This zone should be considered to be a principal target area. Wright interprets the corridor to be composed of one large continuous structure as well as several smaller parallel structures to the northeast.

 

The Pelke Report recommends initial work should be done in the Prunty Mine area. The quartz with sulfides recovered from the dump returned values of 32.4 ppm (about 1.0 OPT). Consequently it may be possible to develop a high-grade underground vein deposit. In addition, the Prunty Patented Claims cover the most important parts of the Northwest Corridor based on Areas of Interest (AOI) identified by Wright Geophysics.

 

The next important area is the rest of the 2 kilometer long Northwest Corridor to the northwest and southeast of the Prunty Mine. The Apex Rule in Mining allows the Company to mine the primary axis of the claims – the Northwest Corridor – beyond the patented claim areas under the Company’s ownership. The area to the northwest along the Northwest Corridor is the area with highest concentration of drill holes from the 1984 and 1986 drilling programs. Many of those drill holes appear to coincide with the structures and AOI’s developed by Wright. Many of the 1984 and 1986 drill holes were along or near the structure or the AOI’s themselves. Some of these drill holes had intercepts with gold values of interest.

 

Robison Report on Gold Property in the Mardis Mining District, Elko Nevada

Robert Robison has worked on this project for over 40 years and he prepared an evaluation report (hereinafter referred to as the “Humboldt-Charleston Report) on the Humboldt Mines Project encompassing the areas of interest. The Humboldt-Charleston Report summarizes the assets, locations, geology, production, and exploration history of the Company’s patented lands. The Humboldt-Charleston Report’s key findings are summarized below.

The Humboldt-Charleston report summarizes chemical analysis performed by four independent assay companies including:

 

 18 

 

Rocky Mountain Geochemical Corp. Salt Lake City, Utah.
Analytical Services, Elko, Nevada
Monitor Geochemical Laboratory, Elko, Nevada
The Assay Lab, West Jordan, Utah

 

The geochemical sampling of soils showed anomalous gold values in at least six samples as follows:

 

Sample RP 2113, .018 oz per ton gold.
Sample DM 16, .065 oz. per ton gold.
Sample RP 2081, .083 oz. per ton gold.
Sample RP 2072, .029 oz. per ton gold.
Sample RP 2089, .013 oz. per ton gold.
Sample RP 2092, .046 oz. per ton gold.

 

The Humboldt-Charleston Report also suggests more exploratory drill holes should be drilled in the vicinity of the Prunty Mines, and that priorities should include developing the Skarn deposit, additional exploratory drilling and detailed geologic mapping - but goes on to classify and suggest the following Probable Reserves:

 

Conservative (Measured): 50,000 ounces

Realistic (Indicated): 2,000,000 ounces
At $1200/ounce; approximately $60M to $2.4B

 

Mining Technique: Cyanide Heap Leaching

 

The geology of the Company’s assets dictate the Company use Cyanide Heap Leaching similar to the mining techniques pioneered and used at the nearby Carlin Trend. More than 90% of all gold extracted worldwide relies upon the use of cyanide. Of the 1.1 million tons of hydrogen cyanide (HCN) produced annually, only 6% is for use in the mining industry. The remaining 94% is used to produce a wide variety of products such as adhesives, computer electronics, fire retardants and nylon.

 

In heap leaching, a cyanide solution is dripped or sprayed onto heaps of crushed ore that is placed over impervious liners. The cyanide solution dissolves minute particles of gold and silver in the ore to form a water-soluble compound; the resulting solution containing the metals in this form is collected and processed to extract the gold and silver for further refining. The remaining cyanide solution is then recycled and reused for extraction.

 

Mine operators have stringent safety practices to minimize risks to workers, the environment, and communities. These include strict workplace safety measures, employee training programs and emergency response plans to prepare workers to respond quickly to exposure to cyanide or spillage. To prevent any release to the environment, mines integrate protective measures such as constructing liquid containment areas around tanks, utilizing impervious liners beneath leach pads and ponds, and installing leak detection and collection systems. 

Nevada has over 100 active cyanide leach operations. Nevada's Water Pollution Control Law has cyanide performance standards for groundwater. Guidelines specific to cyanide operations for closure and reclamation are outlined in the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) "Evaluations for Closure". All mining permits require stabilization of tailings and spent ore during closure. Closure is considered complete when the facility and mined areas have been stabilized and no longer have the potential to degrade waters of the state. Reclamation standards are site-specific; no design standards are prescribed in the Nevada law. The Nevada Department of Wildlife has a permit program for industrial ponds, including tailings impoundments and all cyanide process ponds.

Regulatory:

 

On the patented (private) lands, no direct US Forest Service (USFS) approval is needed to begin work. The USFS is primarily interested in work completed on Patented Lands only to the extent such work impacts adjoining USFS Lands. To get approval to drill in 2010, the USFS had to conduct archeological, biological, botanical and water quality evaluations of the project site and received approval at that time. The Company already has approval from the USFS to rehabilitate the access road located on the unpatented surrounding ground up the hill to the Prunty Mine portal area.

 

The USFS is reluctant to allow building of new roads. Consequently drill pads need to be located along or next to existing roads. There are many old drill roads in the area, some dating from the 1984 and 1986 drilling. On private land, roads can be constructed to access drill sites on the principal Northwest Corridor structure. From the standpoint of working on the lands, topography is gentle to moderate and vegetation is mostly sagebrush. The average annual precipitation over the area varies from 8 to 15 inches, a major portion of which occurs as snow during the winter months. There is no electrical power line to the property. Elko is the most prominent population center in the area and provides a broad range of services and supplies to the mining industry.

The agency responsible for patented claims is the Nevada Division of Environmental Quality (NDEQ) in Carson City, Nevada. There are no known environmental liabilities within the claim group. Humboldt was also in contact with the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP). Rock and water samples were submitted and there were no red flags. There generally is no stringent monitoring by the NDEP (Nevada Department of Environmental Protection), but a plan must be filed.

 

Employees

 

We currently employ a total of 4 full-time and 1 part-time employees. Our employees perform overlapping roles and have responsibilities for different segments of our business.

There are no proceedings in which our director, officer or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

This Registration Statement contains forward looking statements relating to our Company's future economic performance, plans and objectives of management for future operations, projections of revenue mix and other financial items that are based on the beliefs of, as well as assumptions made by and information currently known to, our management. The words "expects”, “intends”, “believes”, “anticipates”, “may”, “could”, “should" and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The cautionary statements set forth in this section are intended to emphasize that actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward looking statement.

 

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS SHOULD BE READ TOGETHER WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF RANCHO SANTA FE MINING, INC. AND THE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-1.

 

Overview

 

The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 24, 2015. We were incorporated and our business plan called for the Company to seek out and acquire various mining assets in the State of Nevada. Rancho Santa Fe Mining Inc. is precious metals exploration and development company with the objective of becoming a gold producer. The Company is currently focused on the advancement of its two principal projects: the Virginia and Vanity Fair patented claims.

 

On October 28, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase”) with Humboldt Mining Company, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“HMCI”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of certain assets owned by HMCI, including, but not limited to: (i) all the real property, leasehold improvements, fixtures, furniture, machinery and equipment owned by the HMCI and relating to or used in HMCI’s operations; and, (ii) all inventory, including finished goods, raw materials and work in process as well as the right to receive inventory ordered by the HMCI for use in its operations; and, (iii) in addition to the foregoing, we acquired all the books and records of HMCI, as well as all intangible assets held, owned or controlled by HMCI (collectively, (i), (ii) and (iii) are referred to hereinafter as the “Acquired Assets”. We acquired none of HMCI’s existing or future liabilities.

 

In exchange for the Acquired Assets the Company issued to the HMCI shareholders Thirteen Million Five Hundred Thousand shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock, which represented Fifty (50%) percent of the Company’s issues and outstanding shares at the time of issuance. A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement mat be found as an Exhibit attached to this Registration Statement.

 

Company now owns land and patented mining rights North of Elko, Nevada nearby the formation known as the Carlin Trend. The Carlin Trend is the second-largest known gold resource in the world and has produced over 70 million ounces of gold. The Company’s property includes two patented claims – the Virginia and Vanity Fair patented claims - comprising what is known as the Prunty Mine Area.

 

The importance of these patented claims cannot be underestimated, insomuch as they have been referred to independently as “unique, rare and exceptional.” The “unique, rare and exceptional” are terms used in mining to denote multidimensional associations of claims as they relate location, uniqueness and quality. Further, in accordance with the Apex Rule in Mining, along the primary axis of the claims the Company is allowed to follow and continue mining the Prunty Mine area beyond the properties presently owned by the Company.

 

 20 

 

Operationally over the next 2-5 years, the Company intends to outsource fully 100% of the exploration, site preparation and extraction operations to a third party who provides all manpower, equipment and operational expenses associated therewith. It is intended the third party pays the Company a royalty of 20% to 30% of the gold reserves recovered and sold. We have begun initial discussions with several third-party candidates. The Company plans to retain five full time staff and lease nominal executive office facilities in Nevada. Legal, Accounting, Shareholder Relations and Geology services can be outsourced to consultants as needed. Business Development is limited to developing and maintaining a website presence, and nominal travel and business entertainment expense. The primary additional operations entail Asset Development, which includes the maintenance of applicable permits and claim renewals, as well as the outsourced production of independent Reserve Reports annually.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

For the period from July 24, 2015 (date of inception) to September 30, 2015, the Company reported no revenues and incurred $143,434 of operating expenses, which included professional fees of $92,559 relating to legal and accounting costs incurred as part of the incorporation process of the Company. There is no historical financial data for the Company.

 

As at September 30, 2015, the Company had a loss per share of $0.01. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 13,500,000 for the period ended September 30, 2015. No shares were issued or outstanding prior to the current reporting date.

 

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As at September 30, 2015, the Company had assets of $7,463 comprised of cash and prepaid expenses, and had $149,547 liabilities.

 

Cashflows from Operating Activities

 

During the period from July 24, 2015 (date of inception) to September 30, 2015, the Company used cash of $143,434 for operating activities relating to the payment of incorporation and start-up costs incurred.

 

Cashflows from Investing Activities

 

During the period from July 24, 2015 (date of inception) to September 30, 2015, the Company did not have any investing activities.

 

Cashflows from Financing Activities

 

During the period from July 24, 2015 (date of inception) to September 30, 2015, the Company received cash flow of $1,350 from the sale of common stock to related parties.

 

As at September 30, 2015, the Company has a going concern assumption as the Company has earned no revenue, has no certainty of earning revenues in the future and has a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit of $143,434 since inception.

 

The Company will require additional financing to continue operations–either from management, existing shareholders, or new shareholders through equity financing. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30 2015, we had no off balance sheet transactions that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

 21 

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare for financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Cash Requirements

 

We anticipate that our current cash and cash equivalents, anticipated cash flow from operations and the proceeds from the sale of the maximum amount of shares being offered hereunder will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for the next 48 months. If we are able to sell only 75%, 50% or 25% of our offered shares, we anticipate that we will only be able to meet our anticipated cash needs for the next 36 months, 24 months or 12 months, respectively. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold and there is no guarantee that the Company will raise any funds from the offering.

 

We estimate that our maximum amount of expenses over the next 12 months will be approximately $2,500,000 as described in the table below. These estimates may change significantly depending on the nature of our future business activities and our ability to raise additional capital from shareholders or other sources. Some of these estimates will be paid for out of the proceeds of this offering, assuming we are successful in raising any such proceeds.

 

Description

General legal, accounting and consultants  12 months  $250,000 
TOTAL  12 months  $2,500,000 

 

The foregoing chart sets forth estimates of the Company’s total maximum operational expenses for the initial 12 month period following effectiveness of this offering. The amounts are not limited to proceeds received under this offering, if any, and therefore in order to reach our targets, we will need additional funds in the form of financing or revenues.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

Related Party Transactions

 

On October 28, 2015, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase”) with Humboldt Mining Company, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“HMCI”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of certain assets owned by HMCI, including, but not limited to: (i) all the real property, leasehold improvements, fixtures, furniture, machinery and equipment owned by the HMCI and relating to or used in HMCI’s operations; and, (ii) all inventory, including finished goods, raw materials and work in process as well as the right to receive inventory ordered by the HMCI for use in its operations; and, (iii) in addition to the foregoing, we acquired all the books and records of HMCI, as well as all intangible assets held, owned or controlled by HMCI (collectively, (i), (ii) and (iii) are referred to hereinafter as the “Acquired Assets”. We acquired none of HMCI’s existing or future liabilities.

 

In exchange for the Acquired Assets the Company issued to the HMCI shareholders Thirteen Million Five Hundred Thousand shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock, which represented Fifty (50%) percent of the Company’s issues and outstanding shares at the time of issuance. A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement may be found as an Exhibit attached to this Registration Statement.

 

At the time of this transaction, our current Chairman of the Board Directors, Mr. Baron W. David Leavitt was a shareholder in Humboldt Mining Company and its Chairman of the Board. Pursuant to the terms of the transaction Mr. Leavitt was issued shares of the Company and was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors as Chairman.

 

Other than the foregoing, none of the directors or executive officers of the Company, nor any person who owned of record or was known to own beneficially more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares of its Common Stock, nor any associate or affiliate of such persons or companies, has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction that has occurred during the past fiscal year, or in any proposed transaction, which has materially affected or will affect the Company.

 

With regard to any future related party transaction, we plan to fully disclose any and all related party transactions in the following manner:

 

Disclosing such transactions in reports where required;

COMMISSION POSITION ON

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES

 

Our Articles of Incorporation and Nevada law provide that none of our officers or directors will be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as an officer or director unless it is proven that:

 

The officer’s or director’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as an officer or director; and

 

 27 

 

The breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law.

 

These provisions eliminate our rights and those of our stockholders to recover damages from an officer or director for his or her breach of a fiduciary duty unless such breach involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect our ability or that of our stockholders to seek non-monetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against an officer or director for his or her acts or failure to act.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and other persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Rancho Santa Fe Mining, Inc.

San Diego, California 92123

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Rancho Santa Fe Mining, Inc. as of September 30, 2015, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the period from July 24, 2015 (inception) to December 31, 2015.  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 audits.

 

We conducted our audit 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 audits 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 audit provides 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 Rancho Santa Fe Mining, Inc. as of September 30, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from July 24, 2015 (inception) to December 31, 2015 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’s limited capital resources raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Rancho Santa Fe Mining, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

September 30, 2015

 

Note 1 – Organization and Business Activity

 

Rancho Santa Fe Mining, Inc. (“RSFM” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 24, 2015. The Company’s business plan details a strategy to seek out and acquire various precious metal mining assets in the State of Nevada. RSFM is a developmental company engaged in precious metals exploration with the objective of becoming a substantial gold producer. The Company is currently focused on the advancement of its two principal projects:  the Virginia and Vanity Fair patented claims, both of which are located in northern Nevada, which were acquired in October 2015.

 

Operationally, the Company intends to outsource all of the exploration, site preparation and extraction to a third-party who provides all the manpower, equipment and operational expenses associated therewith. The third-party operator will compensate the Company through a royalty equal to 20% to 30% of the gold reserves recovered and sold by this party from the acquired mining claims noted above. The Company plans to retain four full time staff members in various capacities and lease office facilities in California. Legal, accounting, shareholder relations and geology will be outsourced to consultants as needed. Business development for the Company will be limited to developing and maintaining a website presence, nominal travel and business expense

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  

 

Basis of Presentation—The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The Company has selected September 30th as their fiscal year end.

 

Going Concern—As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has limited cash and no revenues and has accumulated a deficit of $143,434 as of September 30, 2015.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management intends to seek additional capital from new equity securities offerings and short-term borrowings if necessary that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity and fully implement its business plan.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

 

Use of Estimates—Preparing the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents consist of all cash balances and liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Because of the short maturity of these   investments, the carrying amounts approximate their fair value.

 

Fair Value Measures - ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value.  A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

This hierarchy requires the Company to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when estimating fair value.  

 

 

F-7

 

 

Financial Instruments—The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable.  Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assts.  The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or duration.

 

Mineral Properties—Mineral property acquisition costs are recorded at cost and are deferred until the viability of the property is determined. When proven and probable reserves are determined for a property, subsequent development costs on the property would be capitalized. If a project were to be put into production, capitalized development costs would be depleted on the units of production basis determined by the proven and probable reserves for that project.

 

Asset Retirement Obligation – Future obligations to retire an asset, including site closure, are recorded as a liability at the fair value incurred. The fair value determination is based on estimated future cash flows, the current credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate and an estimated inflation factor. The value of the liability is evaluated at least annually or as new information becomes available. As reclamation work is performed or liabilities are otherwise settled, the recorded liability amount will be reduced.

 

Future reclamation expenditures are difficult to estimate in many circumstances due to the early stage nature of the exploration project, the uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of environmental disturbance, the application of laws and regulations by regulatory authorities and changes in reclamation technology. Changes in estimates are reflected in the statement of operations in the period an estimate is revised.

 

Loss Per Common Share—Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and does not include the impact of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.  Potential common shares are not included in the computation of loss per share, as their effect is antidilutive.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets —The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment annually and at interim periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is determined to exist if the total estimated future cash flows on an undiscounted basis are less than the carrying amount of the assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable minerals, expected gold and other commodity prices (considering current and historical prices, price trends and related factors), production levels and operating costs of production and capital, all based on life-of-mine plans. The term “recoverable minerals” refers to the estimated amount of gold or other commodities that will be obtained after taking into account losses during processing and treatment. Estimates of recoverable minerals from such mineral interests are risk adjusted based on management’s relative confidence in such materials.

 

In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold and other commodity prices, production levels and operating costs of production and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

 

Mining Development Costs—Mine development costs are amortized using the units of production method based upon projected recoverable ounces in proven and probable reserves. Projected recoverable ounces are determined by the Company based upon its proven and probable reserves and estimated metal recovery associated with those reserves.  As of September 30, 2015, no mines are in production therefore none are being amortized.

 

Revenue Recognition—The Company has not yet achieved any revenues.  Revenue will be recognized on royalties from the sale of gold, silver, and other metal sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the metal is delivered, the title has been transferred to the customer, and collectability is reasonably assured.

 

Advertising Costs—The Company expense advertising costs as they are incurred and had no advertising costs as of September 30, 2015.

 

Income Taxes—The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, which recognizes certain temporary differences between the financial reporting basis of the Company’s liabilities and assets and the related income tax basis for such liabilities and assets. This method generates either a net deferred income tax liability or asset for the Company, as measured by the statutory tax rates in effect. The Company derives its deferred income tax charge or benefit, if any, by recording the change in either the net deferred income tax liability or asset balance for the year.

 

At September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against all of its deferred income tax assets, which it believes, based on the weight of available evidence; it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.

 

 

F-8

 

 

Stock-based Compensation—The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Based Compensation” and ASC 505 “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.

 

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value.  This model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables.  These subjective variables include, but are not limited to the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors.  The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

 

All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Note 3 – Related Party Transactions

 

For the period from July 24, 2015 (date of inception) to September 30, 2015, two of the Company’s executive officers/shareholders had advanced $147,047 for expenses relating to the Company and its operations. These advances have been reflected in the accompanying balance sheet under the caption “accounts payable – related parties.” The stock subscriptions receivables due from the stockholders were collected on November 5, 2015.

 

Note 4 – Federal Income Taxes

 

Total income tax benefit is less than the amount computed by multiplying the loss before income taxes by the statutory federal income tax rate.  The reasons for the difference and the related tax effects for the period ended September 30, 2015:

   $—   

 

The Company has no deferred tax liabilities.

 

 

F-9

 

 

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had a federal income tax net operating loss carry forward of approximately $143,434 to offset future taxable income, which begins to expire in 2025. The Company has never had an Internal Revenue Service audit.

 

Note 5 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.  The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.  In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability is accrued in the Company’s financial statements.  If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, will be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees are disclosed.

 

Note 6 – Subsequent Events

 

The Company’s management have evaluated subsequent events through December 11, 2015, the date the financial statements were issued. In the opinion of the Company’s management, there have been no significant events since September 30, 2015, other than the acquisition of certain mining claims in exchange for 13,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on October 28, 2015.

 

On October 28, 2015, the Company entered into an “Asset Purchase Agreement by and between Rancho Santa Fe Mining, Inc. and Humboldt Mining Company, Inc.” This agreement required the Company to issue 13,500,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for certain land and mining claims.

 

In a report dated August 20, 2015, prepared by Paul A. Pelke, consulting geologist, it is estimated that all of the individual deposits that would be found on the claims purchased from Humboldt Mining Company, Inc. could amount to a resource equal to between 100,000 and 200,000 ounces of contained gold.

 

On September 30, 2015, the Company entered into an “Equity Purchase Agreement” with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC (“Kodiak”) whereby Kodiak can purchase up to $5,000,000 of the Company’s common stock. The stock would be sold for a price equal to the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock on the principal market on a trading day as reported by Bloomberg Finance L.P. The Company committed to issue Kodiak Capital 3,000,000 shares of its common stock for services to be rendered.

We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the shares for the Selling Shareholders.

 

The Selling Shareholders and any broker or dealer participating in the sale of shares on behalf of the Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, in which case any profit on the sale of shares by them or commissions received by such broker or dealer may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act of 1933.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION; TERMS OF THE OFFERING

 

The Selling Shareholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

·ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors;
·block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
·purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
·an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
·privately negotiated transactions;
·to cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission;
·broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
·a combination of any such methods of sale; and
·any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Shareholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

 

The Selling Shareholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus.

 

Upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Shareholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Shareholders and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Shareholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.

 

The Selling Shareholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

 

Our Articles of Incorporation provide for the indemnification of our officers and directors to the extent provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), as follows.

 

Nevada Revised Statutes

 

Pursuant to Section 78.7502(1) of the NRS, a corporation may indemnify any officer or director who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he or she was an officer or director of the corporation, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and settlements actually and reasonably incurred by the officer or director in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if that officer or director is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of a criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent does not, of itself, create a presumption that the officer or director is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the officer or director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

Pursuant to Section 78.7502(2) of the NRS, a corporation may indemnify any officer or director who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she was an officer or director of the corporation, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees and settlements actually and reasonably incurred by the officer or director in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if that officer or director is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which an officer or director has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the officer or director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

 

ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

 

During the period from inception to the filing of this registration statement, the registrant has issued and/or sold the following securities in various transactions exempt from registration:

 

On October 28, 2015, the Company entered into a Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase”) with Humboldt Mining Company, Inc., an Nevada corporation (“HMCI”). Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired 100% of certain assets owned by HMCI, including, but not limited to: (i) all the real property, leasehold improvements, fixtures, furniture, machinery and equipment owned by the HMCI and relating to or used in HMCI’s operations; and, (ii) all inventory, including finished goods, raw materials and work in process as well as the right to receive inventory ordered by the HMCI for use in its operations; and, (iii) in addition to the foregoing, we acquired all the books and records of HMCI, as well as all intangible assets held, owned or controlled by HMCI (collectively, (i), (ii) and (iii) are referred to hereinafter as the “Acquired Assets”. We acquired none of HMCI’s existing or future liabilities.

 

In exchange for the Acquired Assets the Company issued to the HMCI shareholders Thirteen Million Five Hundred Thousand shares of the Company’s $0.001 par value common stock, which represented Forty Five (45%) percent of the Company’s issues and outstanding shares at the time of issuance. A copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement may be found as an Exhibit attached to this Registration Statement.

 

All securities issued pursunt to the Asset Purchase Agreement contained a restrictive legend on the share certificate stating that the securities have not been registered under the Act and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale of the securities.

 

Exemption From Registration. The shares of Common Stock referenced herein were issued in reliance upon one of the following exemptions:

 

(a) The shares of Common Stock referenced herein were issued in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, ("Securities Act"), based upon the following: (a) each of the persons to whom the shares of Common Stock were issued (each such person, an "Investor") confirmed to the Company that it or he is a sophisticated investor and has such background, education and experience in financial and business matters as to be able to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the securities, (b) there was no public offering or general solicitation with respect to the offering of such shares, (c) each Investor was provided with certain disclosure materials and all other information requested with respect to the Company, (d) each Investor acknowledged that all securities being purchased were being purchased for investment intent and were "restricted securities" for purposes of the Securities Act, and agreed to transfer such securities only in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and (e) a legend has been, or will be, placed on the certificates representing each such security stating that it was restricted and could only be transferred if subsequently registered under the Securities Act or transferred in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

 

(b) The shares of Common Stock referenced herein were issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Act. No commissions were paid in connection with the completion of this offering, except as noted above. We completed the offering of the shares pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Act on the basis that the sale of the shares was completed in an "offshore transaction", as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S. We did not engage in any directed selling efforts, as defined in Regulation S, in the United States in connection with the sale of the shares. Each investor represented to us that the investor was not a "U.S. person", as defined in Regulation S, and was not acquiring the shares for the account or benefit of a U.S. person. The agreement executed between us and each investor included statements that the securities had not been registered pursuant to the Act and that the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States unless the securities are registered under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from the Act. Each investor agreed by execution of the agreement for the shares: (i) to resell the securities purchased only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act; (ii) that we are required to refuse to register any sale of the securities purchased unless the transfer is in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act; and (iii) not to engage in hedging transactions with regards to the securities purchased unless in compliance with the Act. All certificates representing the shares were or upon issuance will be endorsed with a restrictive legend confirming that the securities had been issued pursuant to Regulation S of the Act and could not be resold without registration under the Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act.

Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date; or

 

ii.If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness.
