RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS
Nine months ended September 30, 2024
The Company reported a net loss of $34,739 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 ($181,609 in 2023). The main factors contributed to the net loss were exploration costs of $33,528, filing fees of $6,850 and professional fees of $13,040.
Professional fees consist of legal fees in connection with the initial public offering process and general corporate legal work.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company reported a negative working capital of $16,560 and cash on hand of $13,257 as at September 30, 2024.
The Company's future capital requirements will depend upon many factors including, without limitation, the results of its exploration programs and commodity prices for precious metals. The Company has limited capital resources and has to rely upon the sale of equity securities for cash required for exploration and development purposes, for acquisitions and to fund the administration of the Company. Since the Company does not expect to generate any revenues from operations in the near future, it must continue to rely upon the sales of its equity and debt securities to raise capital, which would result in further dilution to the shareholders. There is no assurance that financing, whether debt or equity, will be available to the Company in the amount required by the Company at any particular time or for any period and that such financing can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company or at all. See "Risk Factors".
