Note 1  Nature of Business
 
Business Overview
 
PureBase Corporation (f/k/a Port of Call Online, Inc.) (the “Company”), was incorporated in the State of Nevada on March 2, 2010 to create a web-based service that would offer boaters an easy, convenient, fun, easy to use, online resource to help them plan and organize their boating trips. Pursuant to a corporate reorganization consummated on December 23, 2014 the Company changed its business focus to an exploration and mining company which will focus on identifying and developing advanced stage natural resource projects which show potential to achieve full production. The business strategy of the Company is to identify, acquire, define, develop and operate world-class industrial and natural resource properties and to provide mine development and operations services to mining properties located initially in the Western United States and currently in California and Nevada. The Company intends to engage in the identification, acquisition, development, mining and full-scale exploitation of industrial and natural mineral properties in the United States as its top priority. The Company plans to package and market such industrial and natural minerals to retail and whole sale industrial and agricultural market sectors. The Company will initially seek to develop deposits of pozzolan, white silica and potassium sulfate on its own properties or acquire such minerals from other sources. These minerals have a wide range of uses including construction, agriculture additives, animal feedstock, ceramics, synthetics, absorbents and electronics.

The Company is headquartered in Ione, California. The Company’s business is divided into wholly-owned subsidiaries which will operate as business divisions whose sole focus is to develop sector related products and to provide for distribution of those products into primarily the agricultural and construction industry sectors.
 
Reverse Merger and Business Combinations
 
On December 23, 2014 Port of Call Online, Inc. (now PureBase Corporation), an entity without any business or operating activities, entered into an agreement under which it would issue 91,635,604 (post-split) shares of unregistered shares of common stock in exchange for 100% equity interest in Purebase, Inc., making Purebase, Inc.  a wholly owned subsidiary of PureBase Corporation. This voluntary share exchange transaction resulted in the shareholders of Purebase, Inc. obtaining a majority voting interest in PureBase Corporation.

As of the closing of the Reorganization a majority of Purebase, Inc.'s officers and directors served as directors of the new combined entity. Additionally, Purebase, Inc.’s stockholders were issued approximately 65% of the outstanding shares of the Company after the completion of the transaction.

The share exchange transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger with a public shell (a capital transaction), with Purebase, Inc. as the accounting acquirer and the PureBase Corporation as the legal acquirer.  Although from a legal perspective, Purebase Corporation acquired Purebase, Inc., from an accounting perspective, the transaction is viewed as a recapitalization of Purebase, Inc., accompanied by an issuance of stock by Purebase, Inc. for the net assets of PureBase Corporation. This is because the

Purebase Corporation did not have operations immediately prior to the merger, and following the merger, Purebase, Inc. is the operating company.  Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements present the historical information of Purebase, Inc.

On November 24, 2014, Purebase, Inc. acquired 100% ownership of US Agricultural Minerals, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (“USAM”) that was under common majority ownership. Purebase, Inc. issued 230,000 (post-split) shares of common stock for 100% of the membership interests of USAM. USAM has developed certain intellectual property applicable to making cement and other products of interest to Purebase, Inc. Specifically, USAM has done extensive research and testing of the Potassium Sulfate deposit, Lignite deposit and the Pozzolan deposits for agricultural applications and use as a high grade SCM.  Given that Purebase, Inc. and USAM shared the same majority ownership during 2013 and through the acquisition by Purebase, Inc. on November 24, 2014, the results of operations of USAM are combined with Purebase, Inc. as if the acquisition had occurred in April 2013, when the business commenced operations in accordance with FASB ASC 805-50-45.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Purebase Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries Purebase Agricultural, Inc. (f.k.a. Purebase, Inc.) and US Agricultural Minerals, LLC (“USAM”), collectively referred to as the “Company”.  All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring entries), which in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position at February 29, 2016 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the three months ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015.  Operating results for the three months ended February 29, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended November 30, 2016. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended November 30, 2015 filed on Form 10-K on March14, 2016.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding warrants.  The outstanding warrants have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect.

The number of shares outstanding retroactively reflects a 2-for-1 stock split that occurred on June 15, 2015.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred net losses generated negative cash flows from operations since inception. In addition, the Company generated no revenue during the quarter in conjunction with its business plan. In order to support its operations, the Company will require additional infusions of cash from the sale of equity instruments or the issuance of debt instruments, or the commencement of profitable revenue generating activities.  If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company’s ability to fund its operations, take advantage of potential acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance its properties in the future or respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. Such limitations could require the Company to curtail, suspend or discontinue parts of its business plan.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that could result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Topic 915): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which states that in connection with preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, an entity’s management should evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued when applicable). The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. This standard modifies existing consolidation guidance for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2015, and requires either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this update did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in "Leases (Topic 840)" and generally requires all leases to berecognized in the consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The provisions of ASU 2016-02 are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.
 
Note 3  Properties
 
Placer Mining Claims Lassen County, CA
Placer Mining Claim Notices have been filed and recorded with the US Bureau of Land Management (the “BLM”) relating to 50 Placer mining claims identified as “USMC 1” thru “USMC 50” covering 1,145 acres of mining property located in Lassen County, California and known as the “Long Valley Pozzolan Deposit”. The Long Valley Pozzolan Deposit is a placer claims resource in which the Company holds non-patented mining rights to 1,145 acres of contiguous placer claims within the boundaries of a known and qualified Pozzolan deposit. These claims were assigned to Purebase by one of its founders at his original cost basis of $0. These claims require a payment of $30,000 per year to the BLM.

Federal Preference Rights Lease in Esmeralda County, NV
This Preference Rights Lease is granted by the BLM covering approximately 2,500 acres of land located in the Mount Diablo Meridian area of Nevada. Contained in the leased property is the Chimney 1 Potassium/Sulfur Deposit which consists of 15.5 acres of land fully permitted for mining operation which is situated within the 2,500 acres held by Purebase. These rights are presented at their cost of $200,000.  This lease requires a payment of $3,000 per year to the BLM.

Snow White Mine located San Bernardino County, CA - Deposit
On November 28, 2014 US Mining and Minerals Corporation entered into a Purchase Agreement in which US Mining and Minerals Corp. agreed to sell its fee simple property interest and certain mining claims to US Mine Corp. In contemplation of the Plan and Agreement of Reorganization, on December 1, 2014, US Mine Corp assigned its rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement to the Company pursuant to an Assignment of Purchase Agreement. As a result of the Assignment, the Company assumed the purchaser position under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement involves the sale of approximately 280 acres of mining property containing 5 placer mining claims known as the Snow White Mine located near Barstow, California in San Bernardino County. The property is covered by a Conditional Use Permit allowing the mining of the property and a Plan of Operation and Reclamation Plan has been approved by San Bernardino County and the US Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”).  An initial deposit of $50,000 was paid to escrow, and the agreement requires the payment of an additional $600,000 at the end of the escrow period. There was a delay in the seller receiving a clear title to the property and a fully permitted project, both of which were conditions to closing. In light of the foregoing, and the payment of another $25,000, the parties agreed to extend the closing.  The mining claims require a minimum royalty payment of $3,500 per year.

Due to delays in the Company securing the necessary funding to close the purchase of the Snow White Mine property, John Bremer, a director of PureBase, paid $575,000 to acquire the property on or about October, 15, 2015. Mr. Bremer is holding the property on behalf of the Company and will transfer title to the Company when the Company pays Mr. Bremer $575,000 plus expenses.

Note 4  Notes Payable
 
On April 8, 2013, USAM issued a $1,000,000 promissory note. This note was assumed by Purebase, Inc. on November 24, 2014 in connection with the acquisition of USAM by Purebase, Inc.  The note bears simple interest at an annual rate of 5% and the principal and accrued interest are payable on May 1, 2016.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default, which includes voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, all unpaid principal, accrued interest and other amounts owing are immediately due, payable and collectible by the lender pursuant to applicable law. The balance of the note was $1,000,000 at February 29, 2016 and November 30, 2015.

On September 10, 2015, PureBase issued a promissory note of $54,000 to an unaffiliated third party for general working capital needs.  This note bears interest at 8% per annum with the principal and accrued interest due June 11, 2016.  The note is convertible, at the option of the holder, into shares of common stock.  The conversion price shall be equal to 58% of the average of the lowest 3 out of the 10 closing bid prices prior to conversion.  The Company also has to reserve 6.5 times the number of shares into which the note converts. The balance of the discount was $20,226 and $38,095 at February 29, 2016 and November 30, 2015, respectively.

During FY 2016, Purebase Corp. received $45,000 from Crown Bridge Financing for working capital.  The note carries an interest rate of 5% per annum with principal and accrued interest due January 2017.  The note is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of common stock. The conversion price shall be equal to 58% of the lowest trading price of the 20 closing bid prices prior to conversion.  The Company also has to reserve 10 times the number of shares into which the note converts. The balance of the discount was $38,607 at February 29, 2016.

The fair value of the conversion feature at February 29, 2016 is $103,594.  The fair value was estimated using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
 
  Term 0.28 – 0.86 years
  Risk free interest rate 0.471%-0.621%
  Volatility 150%
  Dividend Yield 0%
 
Effective February 29, 2016, the $100,000 note due to Bayshore Capital, a shareholder, was assigned to A. Scott Dockter.  Mr. Dockter is responsible for the debt to Bayshore Capital.  This debt reassignment allowed advances to this officer be settled in full.
 
In January 2016, Inuit Artist Gallery, a shareholder, advanced $20,000 to Purebase Corp for bridge financing at 6% per annum.  The note is payable June 21 2016, or when the Company closes its bridge financing, whichever is sooner.
 
In February 2016, Bayshore Capital, a shareholder, advanced $25,000 to Purebase Corp for working capital at 6% per annum.  The note is payable August 26, 2016, or when the Company closes its bridge financing, whichever is sooner.

We measure our conversion feature liability issued from our debt financings on a recurring basis. In accordance with current accounting rules, the liability for conversion feature is being marked to market each quarter-end until it is completely settled. The conversion feature is valued using the Black Scholes option pricing model, using both observable and unobservable inputs and assumptions. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs could result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumption used for the expected term is accompanied by a change in the assumption used for the risk free rate and the expected stock.

Current Plan of Operations

PureBase Corp. (“the Company, “we” or “us”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Purebase Agricultural, Inc. (“Purebase Ag”) is in the business of pursuing interests in the field of industrial minerals and natural resources. The Company is engaged in the identification, acquisition, exploration, development, mining and full-scale exploitation of its industrial and natural mineral properties in the United States. The Company plans to package and market such industrial and natural minerals to retail and wholesale industrial and agricultural market sectors. The Company will initially seek to develop deposits of pozzolan, white silica and potassium sulfate on its own properties or acquire such minerals from other sources. These minerals have a wide range of uses including construction, agriculture additives, animal feedstock, ceramics, synthetics, absorbents and electronics.

Results of Operation

We have included a discussion and analysis of the Company’s current consolidated operations for the quarter ending February 29, 2016 as compared to the Company’s previous consolidated operations for the  quarter ending February 28, 2015.

Overview

During the current fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2016, the Company generated no revenue. Total assets decreased from $403,938 as of November 30, 2015 to $320,216 as of February 29, 2016. Total liabilities increased from $1,388,009 at November 30, 2015 to $1,662,226 at February 29, 2016 reflecting an increase of $274,217.
 
 


Results of Operations for the fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2016 compared to the quarter ended February 28, 2015

The Company’s operating results for the quarters ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015 are summarized as follows:
 
   
Quarter Ended
   
Quarter Ended
 
   
2/29/16
   
2/28/15
 
Revenue
  $ 0     $ 0  
Operating Expenses
  $ 313,807     $ 390,849  
Net Loss
  $ 357,939     $ 415,008  
 
Revenue
 
Since inception the Company and its subsidiary Purebase Agricultural, Inc. have generated only minimal revenues from operations. No revenues were generated during the first fiscal quarter of 2016 or 2015.
 
Operating Costs and Expenses
 
Total operating expenses for the Company for the fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2016 were $313,807 compared to $390,849 of expenses incurred for the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2015. This decrease is attributed to a significant decrease in exploration and mining expenses relating to the acquisition and development of mineral resource projects. Exploration and mining start-up costs for the fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2016were $40,386 compared to $146,185 of such expenses incurred during the same quarter in 2015. The decrease in exploration and mining start-up costs is the result of lower Phase 1 development costs at the Preference Rights Lease site in Esmeralda County, NV during the fiscal quarter.

General and administrative costs for the Company for the three months ended February 29, 2016 were $270,410 and the general and administrative costs for the same period in 2015 were $241,653. The increase in general and administrative expenses is attributed to the increase in marketing and product development of several mineral resources and hiring of additional staff. Included in the G&A expenses are professional fees for the fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2016 which were $54,338 compared to professional fees of $129,978 for the same quarter in 2015. The decrease in professional fees is attributed to the decrease in legal and accounting expenses due to operating more efficiently as a publicly reporting company.
 
The Company’s interest expense increased to $108,591 for the quarter ended February 29, 2016 compared to $12,344 for the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2015. The increase was due to the significant increase in servicing costs, including accrued interest, associated with the consolidated debt financing incurred by Purebase Ag of $1 million as well as additional debt incurred during the fiscal quarter.
 
Net Loss
 
The Company incurred a net loss of $357,939 for the fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2016 compared to the Company’s net loss of $415,008 for the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2015, a decrease of almost 14%. The decrease in net loss is the result of a decrease in expenses relating to Purebase Ag’s project development and the subsequent increase in general business expenses relating to the Company’s business activity, coupled with a lack of revenues to offset these expenses.
 
 
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At February 29, 2016, the Company’s cash balance was $15,952 and it had a working capital deficit of ($1,645,774).  The Company has insufficient cash on hand to pursue its current business plan and will be required to raise additional capital to fund its ongoing operations. Until the Company is able to establish a sufficient revenue stream from operations its ability to meet its current financial liabilities and commitments will be primarily dependent upon the continued issuance of equity to new or existing investors or loans from existing stockholders and management or outside capital sources. Management believes that the Company’s current cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements for the next twelve-month period. The Company has had negative cash flow from operating activities as it has not yet begun to generate revenues from production.  The Company plans to raise the capital required to satisfy its immediate short-term needs and additional capital required to meet its estimated funding requirements for the next twelvemonths primarily through the private placement of Company equity securities, by way of loans, and through such other financing transactions as the Company may determine.

We expect further exploration and development of our current or future projects to commence generating sales revenues during the next six months but we do not expect revenues from this work to cover our entire current operating expenses which we expect to increase as we implement our business plan. Consequently, we will be dependent on outside sources of capital to sustain our operations and implement our business plan until operating revenues are sufficient to cover our operating expenses.  If we are unable to raise sufficient capital we will be required to delay or forego some portion of our business plan, which would have a material adverse effect on our anticipated results from operations and financial condition.  There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary amounts of capital or that our estimates of our capital requirements will prove to be accurate.  Even if we are able to secure outside financing, it may not be available in the amounts or times when we require or on terms we find acceptable.  Furthermore, such financing would likely take the form of bank loans, private placements of debt or equity securities or some combination of these.  The issuance of additional equity securities would dilute the stock ownership of current investors while incurring loans, lines of credit or long-term debt by the Company would increase its cash flow requirements and possible loss of valuable assets if such obligations were not repaid in accordance with their terms.
 
Going Concern
 
As of the end of the quarter, we have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive development activities. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report on our fiscal year-end audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt we would be able to continue as a going concern.
 
Financings
 
As of the end of the quarter our operations have been funded by equity investment. All of our equity funding has come from a private placement of our securities.
 
Debt Financing

Effective February 29, 2016, a $100,000 note due to Bayshore Capital was assigned to A. Scott Dockter, the Company’s CEO. Mr. Dockter is therefore responsible for the debt to Bayshore and not PureBase Corp. As a result, Notes Payable by the Company were reduced by $100,000.

In January 2016, Inuit Artist Gallery, a shareholder, advanced $20,000 to the Company for bridge financing at 6% per annum.  The note is payable June 21, 2016, or when the Company closes is bridge financing, whichever is sooner.
 
 

 
In February 2016, Bayshore Capital, a major shareholder, advanced $25,000 to the Company for working capital at 6% per annum.  The note is payable August 26, 2016, or when the Company closes is bridge financing, whichever is sooner.
 
Subsequent to the end of the fiscal quarter, in March 2016, Joseph Panetta, Individual, advanced $50,000 to the Company at 6% per annum.  The note is payable September 4, 2016 or when the Company closes its bridge financing, whichever is sooner.

Subsequent to the end of the fiscal quarter, during March 2016, Mr. Lou Ruffolo, Individual, advanced $50,000 to the Company for working capital at 6% per annum.  The note is due September 4, 2016 or when the Company closes its bridge financing, whichever is sooner.

No shares of the Company’s common stock were issued during the fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of the end of the quarter we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
 
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
 
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.
 
The Company has incurred a net loss of $357,939 for the three months ended February 29, 2016 and has a total accumulated deficit of $3,054,334.
 
 
 
 
During the quarter ended February 29, 2016 the Company had no recurring revenue-generating operations. For the Company to continue as a going concern it will continue to be dependent on fund raising for project development and payment of general and administration expenses until revenue-generating operations are achieved. The Company has no commitment from any party to provide additional working capital and there is no assurance that such funding will be available if needed, or if available, that its terms will be favorable or acceptable to the Company.
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
 
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s President, and principal financial officer (the “Certifying Officers”), evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that, as of the date of the evaluation, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were currently ineffective in providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management has identified three material weaknesses and is taking action to remedy and remove the weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting:

 
Lack of an independent board of directors, including an independent financial expert. The current board of directors is evaluating expanding the board of directors to include additional independent directors. The current board is composed of three members and may be expanded to as many as nine members under the Company’s By-Laws.
 
Lack of adequate accounting resources and adequate segregation of duties over various accounting and reporting functions. The Company sought to address the issue of increasing accounting resources by hiring an outside bookkeeping service to assist the former CFO in her accounting and reporting functions. However, as of January, 2016, the Company terminated its outside financial bookkeeping service. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal quarter, the Company hired a new CFO who, together with the former CFO who continues as an employee of the Company, allows some allocation of financial reporting duties.
 
Lack of adequate oversight/approval of transactions with related parties of the Company. The Company intends to adopt new procedures for disbursing funds to officers and affiliates of the Company.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
 
The Certifying Officers have also indicated that there were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting during the Company’s last fiscal quarter, and no significant changes in our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect such controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation and there were no corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
 
 
 
 
Our management, including the Certifying Officers, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of these inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Purebase Ag and US Agricultural Minerals, LLC (“USAM”) along with certain principals of those entities were named as defendants in a Complaint filed in the Second Judicial District Court in Washoe County, Nevada (Case # CV14 01348) on June 23, 2014. The Complaint was filed by Madelaine and Edwin Durand alleging various causes of action including breach of contract and misrepresentations by various defendants and certain principals of Purebase Ag and USAM. The substance of the Complaint involves the alleged breach and other wrongful acts including the staking and attempted recordation of claims by Defendants pertaining to a Non-Disclosure, Confidentiality and Non-Compete Agreement entered into between the Plaintiffs and the Defendants on June 26, 2012 and a Mineral Lease contract dated July 10, 2012 relating to certain mining claims allegedly owned by Plaintiffs and known as the Sierra Lady Mining Claims. The Plaintiffs are seeking an injunction to prevent further staking and disclosure of confidential information relating to the Sierra Lady Mining Claims and monetary damages while the Defendants seek to dismiss the case alleging that the Plaintiffs did not have good title to the mineral rights they were attempting to lease to Defendants.
