Item 1. Business

 

Background

 

We are a start-up, lithium exploration mining company whose purpose is to explore mineral properties which, hopefully, will contain lithium and other economic minerals. We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on October 6, 2011 for the purpose of acquiring rights to mineral properties with the eventual objective of being a producing mineral company, if and when it ever occurs. We have limited operating history and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our activities. Our principal executive offices are located at 930 Tahoe Blvd., Suite 802-16, Incline Village, NV 89451.

 

Currently, the Board of Directors (consisting of Mr. Douglas Cole, Mr. Douglas MacLellan and Mr. William Hunter) are significantly involved in guiding the Company though a significant management reorganization, financial statement restatements and to reorient the company’s goals and objective to solely focus on the exploration and develop of Lithium deposits in the State of Nevada, primarily through new capital commitments from one of the Company’s key stakeholders.

 

On August 8, 2016, the Company formed Lithortech Resources Inc. as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to serve as its operating subsidiary for lithium resource exploration and development. Lithortech Resources Inc. currently has mining claims on 5200 acres in the area known as the Western Nevada Basin, situated in Railroad Valley in Nye County, Nevada (the “WNB Claim”). In the second half of 2017, we engaged experts to evaluate the region and the WNB Claim to target on-site exploration efforts and determined that 260 claims of the WNB Claim were appropriate for the Company’s planned exploration, which we expect to begin in the first half of 2018. With many features similar to Clayton Valley and with no exploration work targeting lithium to date, Railroad Valley represents a new and untested target for lithium brine. The Railroad Valley brine exploration can build on both the dense existing oil field data and the experiences at Clayton Valley and other Li-brine basins to target potential brine aquifers. Please see the Company’s new website at: www.lithiumore.net.

The growth in demand for lithium batteries is predicted to far outpace lithium production in the coming decade. Lithium-ion batteries for the automotive industry are expected to advance demand to nearly unserviceable levels. These industry trends enhance the Company’s new business model.

 

The Company has not earned any revenues to date and we do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have undertaken sufficient exploration work to identify an ore body. Exploration work will take a number of years and there is no certainty we will ever reach a production stage. Our Company is considered to be in the exploration stage due to not having done exploration work which would result in a development decision.

 

We own no real estate, other than mineral rights in the Nye County properties located in Nevada, United States.

 

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we intend to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

 

· allowance to provide only two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” disclosure;

· reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

· no non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and

· exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

 

We may take advantage of these provisions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company on the date that is the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of our initial public offering (our “IPO”); (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have taken advantage of reduced reporting requirements in this prospectus. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you have beneficial ownership. In addition, we have elected to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the Exchange Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to those of companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Market and Industry

 

Lithium is extracted from primarily two sources: pegmatite crystals and lithium salt from brine pools. Currently the world’s five top producers of Lithium are Australia, Chile, China, Argentina and Zimbabwe.

 

In 2015, worldwide production totaled approximately 33,600 metric tons, with the top 3 countries contributing roughly 89% of the global production. Most of the world’s lithium supply is produced by three companies: FMC Corp., Sociedad Quimicay Minera de Chile (SQM) and the Albemarle Corporation. During 2016 worldwide product totaled approximately 35,000 metric tons.

 

Much of the current production of Lithium (i.e. Australia) is from conventional mining techniques of ancient Precambrian rocks containing Lithium ore which is crushed and fed into capital intensive processing plants which upgrade the lithium mineral using gravity, flotation, magnetic and roasting processes.

 

Alternatively Lithium production from Chile and Argentina uses a much less capital intense method. Lithium is located beneath flat, arid salt flats. The Lithium is leached from nearby source rocks and becomes concentrated in salty brines just under the surface.

 

Here Lithium enriched brines are pumped up to settle on hundreds of shallow surface evaporation pools which produces a thicker Lithium rich liquid. That liquid is treated with sodium carbonate, precipitating lithium carbonate.

 

Lithium (Li) is a soft silver-white metal. With an atomic number of 3, it is the lightest of the metals, only the gases Hydrogen (atomic number 1) and Helium (atomic number 2) are lighter.

 

Light weight Lithium has many applications but the metal is a perfect replacement of the much heavier Nickel used in most large batteries. Lithium batteries also have a high charge density, a longer life and lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable.

 

The Lithium market has typically been dominated by the ceramic and medical sectors, however, 2015 presented a marked change in the market as the demand for Lithium for the battery market outstripped any other sector.

 

At the moment, the main lithium-ion battery-makers are Samsung and LG of South Korea, Panasonic and Sony of Japan, and ATL of Hong Kong. China also has many battery- factories being built which will further its demand for lithium.

 

Lithium is not traded publicly but rather is usually distributed in a chemical form such as lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) and sold directly to end users for a negotiated price per ton of Lithium carbonate. Recently that price has spiked, exceeding expectations and is projected to rise.

 

General Market Analysis

 

Lithium-ion batteries have become the rechargeable battery of choice in cell phones, computers, electric cars and now larger scale electric storage. The growth in demand for lithium batteries is predicted to far outpace lithium production in the coming decade; in particular, Lithium-ion batteries for the automotive industry is expected to advance demand to nearly unserviceable levels.

 

Recently Japan and South Korea have both recorded high levels of Lithium-ion battery exports in 1-H of 2016 as auto companies’ ramp up battery consumption to power all-electric vehicle offerings. Lithium ion battery shipments from Japan, the world’s leading producer topped 33,500 tons in 1-H of 2016, an increase of 31% year to year.

 

Goldman Sachs predicted that the market consumption could very well triple from the current production by 2025. Just a 1% increase of Electric Vehicles hitting the market could increase lithium demand by roughly half of the current production of lithium today.

 

SQM’s CEO Patricio de Solminihac said in a 2015 interview with Benchmark Mineral Intelligence that the company could increase production within 12 months, if necessary, to meet higher demand.

 

FMC and Albemarle have decided not to wait. FMC announced in May it would triple its production of lithium hydroxide by 2019, increasing to 30,000 tons from 10,000. Albemarle also announced it would be increasing production of lithium carbonate to 70,000 tons from 24,000 over 27 years.

 

Tesla’s mile long Gigafactory is expected to start producing powerful Lithium-ion batteries in 2017 with their partner Panasonic. The Gigafactory will supply batteries for the 500,000 cars Tesla hopes to produce by the end of the decade, as well as to power homes. This is no one shot, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, GM, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Saturn, Tesla and Toyota have all announced plans to build lithium-ion battery powered cars.


5


Preorders of the new Tesla model 3 have sold out to 400,000 and production is starting 2 years ahead of schedule. Elon Musk has stated that Tesla will have to acquire the entire lithium market to meet the current demands.

 

Thus, the global lithium market is approaching a major shortage, which has made it the world’s hottest commodity and mineral explorers have launched a frantic effort to locate and bring new supply to a hungry marketplace.

 

Lithium brine exploration and development has proven to be much more cost effective and faster to be put into production than the hard rock mine counterparts.

 

Lithium brine deposits are considered placer deposits and are easier to permit. Brine is also a liquid which means that drilling to find it is more akin to drilling for water. It’s also typically located relatively close to surface, which limits the amount of meters drilled. Once a Lithium Brine is found, the continuity is more straightforward to understand and quantify.

 

As the brines are found in large flat areas, the construction of numerous flat evaporation pools or direct solvent extraction can be achieved at relatively low cost. Environmental impact is minimized as the excess residual brines can be pumped back into the salt flats.

 

Competition

 

Oroplata has to compete with other companies searching for minerals in Nevada and seeking financing for the development of their specific properties. Often, not in all cases, these other mineral companies are better financed, have properties which have had sufficient exploration work done on them to warrant a future investor to consider investing in their company rather than ours. There are only a limited number of investors willing to invest in a company which had no proven reserves and has just started its exploration work. These other mineral exploration companies might induce investors to consider their properties and not ours. Hence, any additional funds they receive will be directed to the future exploration work on their properties whereas our company might be strapped for funds and unable to do any worthwhile exploration work on the Western Nevada Basin claim. We might never be able to compete against these other companies and hence never bring the Western Nevada Basin project into a stage where a production decision is to be made. In addition, we will have to compete with both large and small exploration companies for other resources we will need; professional geologists, transportation to and from the Western Nevada Basin Project, materials to set up a camp if required and supplies including drill rigs.

Description of Properties

 

The Western Nevada Basin (WNB) Property is located in east central Nye County, Nevada (Figure 1) approximately 93 miles northeast of the county seat of Tonopah, NV, the major commercial center for the region; 56 miles southwest of the town of Ely, NV and 120 miles northeast of the village of Silver Peak the only currently operating Lithium producer in the State.

(Figure 2). The Western Nevada Basin Property covers just over 6,000 acres. It consists of a total of two hundred sixty (260) placer claims (Figure 2). Each claim covers approximately 20 acres and was laid out by aliquot parts as required by the Bureau of Land Management.

Lithium is a locatable mineral according to the Code of Federal Regulations. Rights to Lithium are to be held by lode claims where it occurs in bedrock and by placer claims where it occurs in sediments. A body of legal precedence set during the original development of lithium brines in the area provides that lithium in valley sediments by nature of the unconsolidated host rock are staked by and produced from placer claims.

 

The WNB project is held by 260, 20 acre placer claims, which are located on public Federal lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The placer claims are located on U.S. Surveyed lands and fit to aliquot parts.

 

In Nevada the claim staking procedure requires recording documents with both the county Recorder’s Office and then with the state Bureau of Land Management office. Claims must be held by posts at the claims four corners and Notice of Location which describe the claims legal description of location and owner. The claims are required to be recorded at the county courthouse within the proper jurisdiction within 90 days from the staking date.

 

Placer claims on Federal lands are held to a September 1 to August 31 assessment year when Intent to Hold or Proof of Labor documents need to be filed with the county for the annual assessment work. The pertinent documents are filed with the Nye County Recorder’s Office.

 

The claims were staked by the third Party, Plateau Ventures LLC of Moab Utah and official rights to the claims by Oroplata is subject to Quit Claim Deed Transfer Approval by BLM. Oroplata, through its 100% owned subsidiary, Lithortech Resources, Inc., received full entitlement to the Western Nevada Basin property by way of the Quit Claim Deed on January 2, 2017. The signed and approved Quit Claim Deed document is attached.

 

The current annual maintenance fee is $155 per 20 acre (or a portion thereof) placer claim (http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/info/iac/miningfacts.html). Payment of those fees allows the claim to stay on the BLM active data base. Non-payment results in the claims moving to ‘closed’ status. Before August 31st each year, a payment of $155 per claims is made to the BLM to hold the claims in good standing for the following assessment year. The total cost for the 260 WNB Claims was $42,060. In August 2017, the Company paid $42,060 to the BLM for 260 Claims.

 

When fees are paid a claim is deemed ‘active’. Active and approved claims are listed and can be viewed on the BLM interactive website LR2000 (http://www.blm.gov/lr2000/)

 

Before October 31st of each year, it is necessary to make a payment to the county of $10 per claim to file an affidavit of assessment fees paid and notice of intent to hold the claims into the next assessment year. The total cost for the current 260 WNB claims is $2,600.

 

As public lands, there is right of free access and both surface and mineral rights are held by the Federal government. Public records (Management, Bureau of Land) show no military withdrawals or Areas of Critical Environmental Concern. The Railroad Valley Wildlife Management Area is located to the west of the WNB claim boundary and has no effect on any planned work on the WNB claim area.

 

There is free access to the Federal land in Railroad Valley and there are no restrictions on casual prospecting. New exploration drilling will trigger a permitting process. There are two major levels of permitting: Notice of Intent (NOI) and Plan of Operations (POO). Historically, if the proposed disturbance was less than 5 acres or 1,000 tons, then the work can proceed under a NOI if there are no complications such as ancient ruins or endangered species. Application for a NOI is relatively simple with requirements like bonding the access route and re-seeding afterwards. A NOI is valid for two years and may be renewed on a two year basis. Maintaining it requires maintaining bonds and seeding disturbed areas when the work is complete. A POO is more complicated with requirements like an archeological survey, environmental assessment, etc. The BLM may respond within 15 days to a NOI application whereas a POO may require several months to years for final acceptance.

 

Any drilling planned will require a NOI filed with the Tonopah office of the BLM. To the best of the Company’s knowledge, there are no known environmental liabilities to which the property is subject or other significant factors and risks that may affect access, title, or the right or ability to perform work on the property.

 

Accessibility

 

The main route of access to the WNB project is Nevada State U.S. Route 6 which provides all year access to Railroad Valley and the project area. U.S. Route 6 provides direct access to the two nearby commercial centers; Tonopah, located southwest of the project at the junction of Routes 6 and 95, approximately 90 minutes away, and Ely, a slightly larger commercial center with a population of over 4,200 approximately, located northeast of the project approximately 60 minutes away. US Highway 95 is the main highway linking Las Vegas and Reno, the two largest metropolitan areas in Nevada.

Climate

 

Railroad Valley is in the rain shadow of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The region is arid to almost semiarid. Winters are cold while summers are hot. Average annual precipitation is approximately 5 inches; however, variations occur at differing altitudes.

 

Exploration can be conducted year around.

 

Local Resources

 

The Railroad Valley contains several small communities; which include Currant, Crows Nest, Green Springs, Lockes, and Nyala. Electrical power is available within the valley area.

 

The larger population centers of Ely and Tonopah are connected via U.S. Route 6 to the project area. Tonopah has a population of approximately 2,500 and is the governmental center for the region. Ely has a population of approximately 4,250 and is the closest commercial center. Groceries, hardware, a bank and a choice of motels and restaurants are available in both Ely and Tonopah.

 

The area has a long history of mining. Mining personnel can be sourced mostly from the larger towns of Tonopah or Ely.

 

Infrastructure

 

A reasonable network of 4x4, graded and paved roads connects the claim area to the rest of Nevada. Electrical power is available at several sites throughout the valley and could easily provide power to any operation at the project area. The nearest rail and large commercial airline service is to Las Vegas, NV approximately 169 miles to the south.

 

Physiography

 

Railroad Valley is one of the longest topographically closed drainage basins in Nevada, extending more than 110 miles in a north-south direction and up to 20 miles wide. The Valley is one of the Central Nevada Desert Basins in the Tonopah Basin. The southern end of the valley begins near Gray Top Mountain (7,036 feet) and stretches north all the way to Mount Hamilton (10,745 feet). The mountain masses are dominated by the White Pine, Grant and Quinn Canyon ranges east of the valley.

 

Railroad Valley comprises and an area of approximately 2,750 square miles. Two playa areas occur within the valley. The Property is located on the huge Northern Playa on the valley floor at elevations generally of 4400 – 4700 feet. The valley floor is characterized by subdued topography with washes eroding into slightly older valley-fill sediments.

 

The claims are located on the playa and vegetation is scarce. There is sufficient surface area for recovery facilities within the claim group. Water in the basin is unallocated, which is an advantage for processing in the future.

 

Geologic Setting

 

The claims are located in the Basin and Range physiographic province which stretches from southern Oregon and Idaho to Mexico. It is characterized by extreme elevation changes between mountains and flat intermountain valleys or basins.

 

Plate tectonics powered by crustal spreading broadly generates two types of forces: compression as plates are moved together and extension as those forces relax. Compression was the dominant geologic force affecting the western United States beginning about 200 million years ago as the Pacific Ocean plate moved eastward under the North American continent. Those forces compressed the overlying pile of sedimentary rocks accumulated over hundreds of millions of years into a thick stack reaching up to elevations of 10 – 14,000 feet, similar to the altiplano of Mexico and South America which formed at the same time from similar forces. That highland plateau stretched west – east from the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California to the Wasatch Range in Utah.

 

Extension became the dominant force beginning in the Eocene - Oligocene epochs approximately 55 to 25 million years ago. Also, the relative movement of the tectonic plates changed about 30 million years ago with the movement becoming more oblique to the continent. That relaxed the compressional forces and also tended to ‘tear’ the crust apart, creating diagonal extensions.

 

The resulting compressional and extensional tectonics have created throughout Nevada a classical Basin and Range province consisting of narrow, N- to NE-trending, fault block mountain chains separated by flat, linear valleys. This geological pattern is repeated across the State and has created a number of currently arid, ‘trapped’ or closed basins with respect to drainage that have the potential of containing Lithium Brine deposits.

Geology of Lithium Brines

 

Lithium brine deposits are accumulations of saline groundwater that are enriched in dissolved lithium. All producing lithium brine deposits share a number of first-order characteristics: (1) arid climate; (2) closed basin containing a salt flat (Playa or Salar); (3) tectonically driven subsidence; (4) associated igneous or geothermal activity; (5) suitable lithium source-rocks; (6) one or more adequate aquifers; and (7) sufficient time to concentrate a brine.

 

The single most important factor determining if a nonmarine basin can accumulate lithium brine is whether or not the basin is closed.

 

Lithium enriched brines are formed by complex and multiple processes of evaporation, re-mobilization, and salt and lithium clay dissolution and precipitation. In essence, lithium is liberated by weathering or derived from hydrothermal fluids from a variety of rock sources within a closed basin where Lithium, a lightweight element, cannot escape.

 

Lithium is highly soluble and, unlike sodium (Na), potassium (K), or calcium (Ca), does not readily produce evaporite minerals when concentrated by evaporation. Instead it ends up in residual brines in the shallow subsurface. Economic brines have Li concentrations in the range of 200 to 4,000 milligrams per liter (mg/l). 1 mg/l = 1 ppm.

 

Clayton Valley contains the only currently producing Lithium Brine project in Nevada. Production has been on-going since 1967. The production at Clayton Valley is located approximately 120 miles west of the Railroad Valley. Evidence from Clayton Valley suggests that felsic vitric tuffs are a particularly favorable primary source of Lithium as well, uplifted Neogene lake beds from earlier in the basin’s history, which have been altered to hectorite, may provide a source of Lithium.

 

Geology of Railroad Valley

 

Railroad Valley has produced about 44 million barrels of oil (MMBO) from nine fields and has been extensively studied to determine relations between structure and oil production. Several interpretations of basin configuration have evolved, based on improved seismic acquisition and processing and better understanding of deformation styles and kinetics.

 

Oil was first discovered at Railroad Valley by Shell Oil in 1954. The discovery well reached a depth of 10,360 feet before being completed at a productive interval between 6,450 and 6,730 feet. The valley fill is essentially wedge shaped with the wedge increasing in thickness from west to east. A low-angle attenuation fault has been reported to underlie Railroad Valley which has been interpreted to be a result of asymmetric arching rather than a series of down-to-the-west high-angle normal faults.

 

The stratigraphy of the valley is known to contain Paleozoic platform carbonate rocks, Tertiary volcanic rocks, and Tertiary lacustrine sediments. In comparison to Clayton Valley, the Railroad Valley has a large endowment of Neogene volcanic flows and tuffaceous rocks.

 

Oil exploration has reported a number of laterally continuous thick Brine horizons throughout Railroad Valley. Sampling for Lithium from the brines was not conducted by the oil industry. Good reservoir rocks for oil may not represent good reservoir hosts for Lithium. The underlying brine-waters of the Railroad Valley were at one time examined as a potential reservoir for Las Vegas.

 

Volcanic rocks form a large part of the Neogene rock sequence: ash-flow tuffs and basalt flows from major calderas in eastern and central Nevada. Thickness of the volcanic section can vary greatly because of Neogene erosion and faulting. The thickness of ash flow tuffs in Railroad Valley can range from less than 1,000 ft to more than 3,000 ft. These rocks have shown good porosity and may represent an enormous source for Lithium.

 

Tertiary lacustrine formations consist of varying proportions of fresh-water carbonate, shale, sandstone, and volcanic debris. To date, oil production from Tertiary lacustrine reservoirs is limited, but there is production from the Sheep Pass Formation in the Eagle Springs field, and formerly there was production from Currant field; both in Railroad Valley.

 

The northern Playa area of Railroad Valley contained a large lake during the Pleistocene Epoch, more than 7,000 years ago. The lake has subsequently evaporated within the valley; however, at one point it reportedly covered an area of over 525 square miles and attained a maximum depth of 315 feet.

 

The large Railroad Valley north playa today is partly covered by young erosional alluvium.

 

Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves

 

The Railroad Valley has demonstrated enrichment in lithium in the nearby dry sediments as evidenced from the NURE sample database from the U.S. Geologic Survey. However, the project is at an exploration stage. There are no lithium brine mineral resources or reserves for the property.

Exploration and Development

 

A proposed budget of US$2,895,000 for a 2018 Phase One exploration program is shown in the following table. Any subsequent work would be contingent upon favorable results from the program and would fall under a separate future budget.

Total Short Program Budget

2,895,000

 

The work would consist of direct sampling and analysis of Lithium both laterally and vertically across the project area from both volcanic horizons and underground Brines contained within the Playa. Drilling and mobilization represent the largest costs of the program. Every effort would be made to minimize costs and maximize the sampling of brine from either re-entry and perforation of ‘shut-in’ oil wells or testing of current water wells in the project area.

 

Exploration Time Table

 

The work for the Phase One exploration program will be designed over the following 4 to 5 months. Surficial sampling will be performed from February to March and Drilling and sampling from April to June. Analytical analysis will follow each program.

 

Other Mineral Properties

 

We are not contemplating any other mineral properties at this time.

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

We are currently not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of our executive officers or any of our subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting us, our common stock, any of our subsidiaries or our officers or directors of those of our subsidiaries’ in their capacities as such, in which an adverse decision could have a material adverse effect.

On January 12, 2018, the closing price of our Common Stock as reported by the OTC Markets Group was $0.091 per share.

 

Holders

 

As of January 12, 2018, we have approximately 41 shareholders including our directors and officers. One such holder is Cede & Co., a nominee for Depository Trust Company, or DTC. Shares of Common Stock that are held by financial institutions as nominees for beneficial owners are deposited into participant accounts at DTC, and are considered to be held of record by Cede & Co. as one stockholder.

 

Dividends

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to support our operations and finance the growth and development of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, prohibits us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or 

 

our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of stockholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution, unless otherwise permitted under our Articles of Incorporation. 

 

Stock Options, Warrants and Rights

 

As at September 30, 2017, Oroplata has 6,454,545 potentially issuable shares of common stock including:

 

2,742,000 potentially issuable shares of common stock from share purchase warrants issued with an exercise price that ranges from $0.001 to $0.50 per share; and  

 

3,712,545 potentially issuable shares of common stock from convertible debt instruments that were issued and are convertible into common shares at the Company at $0.10 to $0.11 per share, at any time at the option of the note holder. 


12


Penny Stock

 

Our common stock is subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g-9 thereunder, commonly referred to as the “penny stock rule”. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stock, and Rule 15g-9(d) incorporates the definition of “penny stock” that is found in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The SEC generally defines a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than US$5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. We are subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules. Since our common stock is deemed to be penny stock, trading in the shares of our common stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. “Accredited investors” are generally persons with assets in excess of US$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding US$200,000 or US$300,000 together with their spouse. For transactions covered by these rules, broker dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of securities and must have the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for penny stocks held in an account and information to the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealer to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

As of the date of this Report, we do not have any compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance. We intend to adopt an equity compensation plan in which our directors, officers, employees and consultants will be eligible to participate. However, no formal steps have yet been taken to adopt such a plan.

 

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

 

Other than as disclosed in previous quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K, we did not issue any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017.

 

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and “Affiliated Purchasers”

 

We did not purchase any shares of our common stock or other securities during the year ended September 30, 2017.

 

Item 6. Selected Financial Data

Operating Revenues

 

During the years ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not record any revenues from operations.

 

Operating Expenses and Net Loss

 

During the year ended September 30, 2017, the Company incurred operating expenses of $2,198,907 compared to $2,398,931 during the year ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in operating expenses is due to an impairment charged against the acquisition of the Nye Claims during the year ended September 30, 2016 of $1,231,848. The one-time items from fiscal 2016 were offset by an increase in general and administrative expense of $469,024 relating primarily to stock-based compensation expense for issuance of share purchase warrants as bonus compensation for debt financing and issuance of common shares for services. Furthermore, there was an increase of $562,800 in exploration costs as the Company issued 2,000,000 common shares with a fair value of $600,000 as part of the settlement agreement related to the purchase of the mineral claims on the Nye County properties which was offset by payment of $77,500 for Nye County in 2016. Finally, the Company also recorded a payroll costs of $57,200 relating to payroll expense incurred for staffing at Lithortech Resources (“Lithortech”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, compared to $0 in 2016.

 

Net loss for the year ended September 30, 2017 was $2,690,342 compared to $28,356,180 during the year ended September 30, 2016. The decrease is due to the Company recording a one-time charge to other expense for $25,920,000 relating to the issuance of 16,000,000 common shares of the Company for no consideration. The Company also recorded accretion and interest expense of $497,269 during the year ended September 30, 2017 compared to accretion and interest expense of $37,249, as the Company incurred a full year of accretion costs relating to the beneficial conversion feature of the conversion options on the convertible debentures issued, and a full year of interest expense for convertible debentures that were issued in the prior year. $36,000 loss on settlement of debt relating to the issuance of common shares to settle outstanding accounts payable and a gain on extinguishment of debt of $41,834 related to settlement of the Nye County mineral claims of $25,000 and $16,834 of accounts payable being written off by a prior vendor.

 

For the year ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a loss per share of $0.05 per share compared with a loss per share of $0.66 per share for the year ended September 30, 2016.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had cash of $9,141 and total assets of $61,641 compared to cash and total assets of $90,040 at September 30, 2016. The decrease in cash is due to the fact that the Company used more cash available to them, as the Company had more operating expenses in fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016.

 

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had total liabilities of $1,327,646 compared to $634,033 as at September 30, 2016. The increase in total liabilities was attributed to an increase of $664,258 of convertible debentures, as the Company financed its continued growth and operations with the issuance of convertible notes, $40,100 increase in amounts due to related parties, and a decrease of $10,745 for accounts payable and accrued liabilities as the Company had the $41,834 in forgiveness of accounts payable and accrued liabilities and settled significant amounts of outstanding payables through the issuance of common shares.

 

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficit of $1,266,005 compared with a working capital deficit of $543,993 as of September 30, 2016. The increase in working capital deficit is due to additional long-term funding received from a loan holder which was used for operating activities.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2016, the Company issued 636,934 common shares with a fair value of $1,031,848 as part of the acquisition costs of the Nye Claims, 16,000,000 common shares with a fair value of $25,920,000 for no consideration to the Company, and 500,000 common shares with a fair value of $425,000 for consulting services. During the year ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued 400,000 common shares with a fair value of $96,000 to settle outstanding accounts payables, and 1,600,000 common shares with a fair value of $357,000 for consulting and professional services. Furthermore, the Company also received 636,943 common shares that were previously issued for the Nye County property and the shares were returned to treasury.

Cashflows from Operating Activities

 

During the year ended September 30 2017, the Company used $484,899 of cash for operating activities compared to $199,402 during the year ended September 30, 2016. The increase in cash used for operating activities was due to the fact that the Company raised $347,912 of cash from financing activities which was used to further the Company’s organizational and strategic objectives.

 

Cashflows from Investing Activities

 

During the year ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no investing activities.

 

Cashflows from Financing Activities

 

During the year ended September 30, 2016, the Company received $404,000 from financing activities from the issuance of convertible notes. During the year ended September 30, 2016, the Company received $279,496 of cash from financing activities, which included $231,000 from the issuance of convertible debentures and $48,496 advanced from related parties.

 

Going Concern

 

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have 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 are material to stockholders.

 

Future Financings

 

We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.

 

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 our 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Oroplata Resources, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oroplata Resources, Inc. (the Company) as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 (restated), and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oroplata Resources, Inc. as of September 30, 2017 and 2016 (restated), and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has negative working capital and has not generated revenues to cover operating expenses. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

OROPLATA RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.Organization and Nature of Operations 

 

Oroplata Resources Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on October 6, 2011 for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties. The Company has a wholly-owned subsdiary called Oroplata Exploraciones E Ingenieria SRL, which was incorporated in the Dominican Republic on January 10, 2012. On July 26, 2016, the Company incorporated Lithortech Resources Inc., a Nevada company, as a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company currently holds mineral rights in the Dominican Republic and in the Western Nevada Basin of Nye County in the state of Nevada.

 

Going Concern 

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As at September 30, 2017, the Company has not earned revenue, has negative cash flows from operations, has a working capital deficit of $1,266,005 and an accumulated deficit of $31,217,242. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, and its ability to identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing, and generating profitable operations from the Company’s future operations. If the Company is able to obtain financing, there is no certainty that terms will be favorable to the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated 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.

 

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

 

(a)Basis of Presentation 

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is September 30.

 

(b)Cash and Cash Equivalents 

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no cash equivalents.

 

(c)Use of Estimates 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the fair value of stock-based compensation, recoverability of long-lived assets, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

(d)Long-Lived Assets 

 

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, mineral properties, and purchased intangibles with finite lives (subject to amortization), are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification topic 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment”. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life.

OROPLATA RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

 

(d)Long-Lived Assets (continued) 

 

Recoverability of assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by an asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. The estimated fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. Any impairment in value is recognized as an expense in the period when the impairment occurs. Asset Retirement Obligations

 

The Company follows the provisions of ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which establishes standards for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment or

other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets.

 

(e)Loss per Share  

 

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. At September 30, 2017, the Company has 9,196,545 (2016 – 1,584,000) potentially dilutive shares.

 

(f)Foreign Currency Translation 

 

The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation Matters, using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.  

 

(g)Comprehensive Loss 

 

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at September 30, 2017 and 2015, the Company has no items representing comprehensive income or loss.

 

(h)Revenue Recognition 

 

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

 

(i)Financial Instruments 

 

Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, an entity is required 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

 

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


F-7



OROPLATA RESOURCES, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

 

(i)Financial Instruments (continued) 

 

Level 2 

 

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

 

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.

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and amounts due to related parties. 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 assets. The recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.

 

(j)Income Taxes 

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.

 

Due to the Company’s net loss position from inception on October 6, 2011 to September 30, 2017, there was no provision for income taxes recorded. As a result of the Company’s losses to date, there exists doubt as to the ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the total deferred tax assets has been recorded at September 30, 2017.

 

(k)Stock-based Compensation 

 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation using the fair value method. 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. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. As at September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not grant any stock options.

 

(l)Mineral Property Costs 

 

Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized as incurred. Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred until proven and probable reserves are established. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

(m)Advertising and Marketing Costs 

 

The Company expenses advertising and marketing development costs as incurred.

 

(n)Recent 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.

 

3.Mineral Property 

 

(a)The Company has acquired the mineral rights to the Mogollon claim located in the Province of San Juan near the villages of Solorin and El Toro in the Dominican Republic for $10,000 which included the cost of a geological report.  

 

(b)On June 15, 2016, the Company acquired the mineral rights to 500 lithium claims, with an option to purchase an additional 600 lithium claims, situated in the Railroad Valley in the Western Nevada Basin of Nye County, Nevada in exchange for $277,500. 

 

Of the $277,500 payable, $100,000 was due immediately upon signing of the agreement and could be paid within 10 days, $100,000 was due after confirmation of the claims being free from all liens, encumbrances, and mortgages (within 30 days of signing the agreement), and $77,500 upon registration with the BLM for the claims that are due (to be completed on or before July 31, 2016).

 

The entire amount of $277,500 was advanced by various individuals and is recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the balance sheet. Due to payments being late and not paid on-time per the agreement, the Company agreed to issue 636,943 restricted shares of common stock. In November 2016, a settlement agreement related to the purchase of the Nye County properties was reached, in which, the parties settled on payment of $252,500, the return of the previously issued 636,943 restricted shares of common stock and the issuance of 2,000,000 unrestricted shares of common stock. The $25,000 reduction in the required payment was recorded as a gain on extinguishment of debt on the statement of operations.

 

The total consideration given for the mineral rights was $1,231,848 which includes the $200,000 payment ($77,500 was recorded as exploration expense) and the 636,943 shares of common stock valued at $1,031,848. The total amount of $1,231,848 was impaired and recorded as an impairment loss during the year ended September 30, 2016.

9. Restatement

 

The Company has restated its consolidated financial statements as at September 30, 2016 and for the year then ended to reflect adjustments related to notes payable that were not valid obligations of the Company, and issuance of common shares for the acquisition of mineral properties that were not issued for proper consideration. This restatement resulted in an increase to net loss of $25,000 and no change to net loss per share.

 

The impact of the restatement as at September 30, 2016 and for the year then ended is summarized below:

(a)On December 4, 2017, the Company granted 1,000,000 share purchase warrants to a non-related party for professional services. Each share purchase warrant is exercisable into one common share of the Company at $0.10 per share for a period of one year from the date of issuance.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

None.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In addition, The Company contracts with an independent firm to review and test its internal controls. 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.

 

As of September 30, 2017, the Company’s management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, it was concluded the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2017.

 

(b) Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company has designed internal controls to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company assesses the effectiveness of internal controls based on the criteria set forth in the 2013 Internal Control - Integrated Framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2017.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Item 9B. Other Information

 

Extension of Notes

 

On December 14, 2017, the Company announced that it has received financial support and commitment from its primary financial partner, Tangiers Capital. Tangiers Capital has extended the maturity of their current Notes for one year and has agreed to waive all potential default fees. This flexibility and commitment to provide additional capital demonstrated their faith in the Company’s new management team and land assets.

 

Restatements

 

On December 27, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Oroplata Resources, Inc., after considering the recommendations of management and its Auditor, Heaton & Company, PLLC, concluded that the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the twelve months ended September 30, 2016 and the quarters therein and its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2016, the three months and six months March 31, 2017, and the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2017 (collectively, the “Non-Reliance Periods”), should not be relied upon because of information that has become available to the Company that affects the accuracy of the statements and data therein (the “Inaccurate Information” as discussed further below). Accordingly, investors, analysts and other persons should not rely upon the Company’s previously released financial statements and other financial data for the Non-Reliance Periods or any press releases, investor presentations or other communications that relate to that information.


17



As known to the Board as of December 27, 2017, the Inaccurate Information relates solely to accounting for certain common shares issued by the Company in 2016 which the Board has information to believe were not issued for proper consideration and for certain alleged liabilities of the Company (alleged to occur in 2016) that were not valid obligations of the Company. Accordingly, the Company announced that it will restate its historical financial results for the Non-Reliance Periods to reflect the removal of the Inaccurate Information. While the Company is continuing to perform a detailed review of its previously reported financial information, the Company currently anticipates that, when all of the necessary adjustments are aggregated, the net cumulative effect on each of its financial statements for the Non-Reliance Periods will be material but will be a non-cash item on the Company’s financial statements and will not affect the Company’s cash position or cause any potential dilution to the Company’s stockholders or affect any future cash flows of the Company except in the case of a change of control of the Company and even then in only certain circumstances.

 

Mogollan Rights

 

In December 2017, the Company determined that the previously reported mineral rights to the Mogollon concession located in the Dominican Republic are no longer valid and the Company has determined that it has no further interest in pursuing any mineral claims in the Dominican Republic.

 

Executive Employment Agreement

 

On December 29, 2017, the Company entered into an Executive Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Douglas Cole (“Executive”) as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The term of the Employment Agreement is three years.

 

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the Executive is entitled to receive compensation equal to $70,000 for consulting services provided to the Company from March 1, 2017 until August 7, 2017. During such period Executive assisted the prior chief executive officer providing services similarly provided by a chief operating officer and chief financial officer as well as serving as controller and secretary of the Company.

 

In addition, Executive shall receive month cash compensation equal to $20,833 retroactive to August 7, 2017, the date he was appointed Chief Executive Officer. Executive received 3,000,000 restricted common shares upon the execution of the Employment Agreement and shall receive additional grants of one million shares on each of August 7, 2018 and August 7, 2019 provided Executive is still providing services to the Company on such dates.

 

Executive also received on December 29, 2017, 1,000,000 restricted common shares as a replacement for 1,000,000 shares previously issued to him in 2016 for consulting work provided to the Company by the Executive but were canceled by the Company because they were not issued properly. These 1,000,000 shares are not related to any compensation as an officer but are being received by the Executive while he is currently serving as an officer.

Director Qualifications

 

We believe that our directors should have the highest professional and personal ethics and values, consistent with our longstanding values and standards. They should have broad experience at the policy-making level in business or banking. They should be committed to enhancing stockholder value and should have sufficient time to carry out their duties and to provide insight and practical wisdom based on experience. Their service on other boards of public companies should be limited to a number that permits them, given their individual circumstances, to perform responsibly all director duties for us. Each director must represent the interests of all stockholders. When considering potential director candidates, the Board also considers the candidate’s character, judgment, diversity, age and skills, including financial literacy and experience in the context of our needs and the needs of the Board.

 

Family Relationships

 

None.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

Our directors and executive officers have not been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:

 

Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against such person or any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; 

Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); 

Being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining him from or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities or to be associated with any person practicing in banking or securities activities; 

Being found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action, the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a Federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated; 

Being subject of, or a party to, any Federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of any Federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or 

Being subject of or party to any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization, any registered entity or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.  


20



Code of Ethics

 

The Company has not adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. Management intends to adopt a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct in the near future.

 

Term of Office

 

Our directors are appointed to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our stockholders or until removed from office in accordance with our Bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our Board and hold office until removed by the Board, absent an employment agreement.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board has not established an audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert, nor has the Board established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company is the early stages of operations. The Company has one director, and to date, such director has been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our sole director and officer has the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance Reporting

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires a company’s directors and officers, and persons who own more than 10% of any class of a company’s equity securities which are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, to file with the SEC reports of ownership on Form 3 and reports of changes in ownership on Forms 4and 5. Such officers, directors and 10% stockholders are also required to furnish the company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us and on written representations from certain reporting persons as September 30, 2017, we do not believe that all Section 16(a) reports applicable to our officers, directors and 10% stockholders with respect to our fiscal year ended September 30, 2017 have been filed.
