  • Transfer agent and filing fees decreased from $22,592 during the six months ended February 29, 2024 to $13,608 during the six months ended February 28, 2025, as the Company was listed on the OTCQB during the comparative period, resulting in increased regulatory fees.
  • Management fees decreased from $60,000 during the six months ended February 29, 2024 to $30,000 during the six months ended February 28, 2025, due to a change in management which resulted in a decrease of fees.
  • Rent decreased from $36,000 during the six months ended February 29, 2024 to $Nil during the six months ended February 28, 2025 due to the Company moving offices and terminating a rental agreement.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Company had a cash position of $2,438 and a working capital deficiency of $427,004 as at February 28, 2025, compared to a cash position of $1,331 and working capital deficiency of $387,733 as at August 31, 2024.

The Company does not generate any revenue from its existing assets. As a result, it must fund all of its operational expenditures through the issuance of debt and equity.

During the period ended February 28, 2025, the Company issued a total of $23,200 to non-arm's length creditors in unsecured notes payable which are interest free and repayable upon demand. During the year ended August 31, 2024, the Company issued a total of $92,100 to non-arm's length creditors in unsecured notes payable which are interest free and repayable upon demand.

Mineral Properties

Topley Richfield Property

On July 20, 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire up to a 100% interest in and to the copper-gold Topley Richfield property, located in the Omineca mining division of British Columbia, 60 kilometres east-southeast from Smithers. It is accessible by road, power runs through the western side of the Property and the village of Topley is less than 10km away. The Property covers 2,313 hectares and is comprised of seven contiguous claims. Previous exploration has focused on expanding the known mineralization.

Pursuant to the agreement, the Company can commence the earn-in to acquire a 50.1% interest in the property through the issuance of two million common shares and a cash payment of $200,000 on or before 10 days after signing the agreement, being July 20, 2021. Thereafter, should the Company wish to complete the earn-in and acquire the 50.1% interest in the property, it may, in its sole discretion: issue four million common shares on or before 29 months from the effective date, being December 20, 2023 (the "First Option Earn-In Deadline").

The Company can acquire an additional 16.9% interest in the property by issuing 2,000,000 common shares within 24 months after the First Option Earn-In Deadline (the "Second Option Earn-In Deadline"). Following the exercise of the second option, the Company can earn a final 33% interest in the property (for a total interest of 100%) by issuing 4,000,000 common shares and making a cash payment of $15,000 within 12 months of the Second Option Earn-In Deadline.

The exercise of the options (and the payments and share issuances at each tranche) are at the discretion of the Company. If the Company exercises the first option, second option or third option, as applicable, and makes all required payments and issuances thereunder, it will have earned the interest subject to such option.

During the year ended August 31, 2021, the Company commenced its first earn-in option to acquiring 50.1% interest in and to the Topley Richfield property in exchange for a cash payment of $200,000 and the issuance of two million common shares at a fair value of $0.45 per share. During the year ended August 31, 2024, the Company satisfied the First Option Earn-In conditions, issuing 4 million common shares, and completed the acquisition of 50.1% interest in and to the Topley Richfield property.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Fair Values and Classification

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and notes payable. Financial instruments are classified into one of the following categories: FVTPL, FVTOCI, or amortized cost. The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments are classified into the following categories:

Financial Instrument Category February 28, 2025 August 31, 2024
($) ($)
Cash and restricted cash FVTPL 2,438 1,331
Accounts payable Amortized cost 282,067 274,687
Notes payable Amortized cost 118,496 95,296

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

  • Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of cash is measured on the statement of financial position using level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of accounts payable approximate their book values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

The carrying amounts of the notes payable approximate fair value as the interest rates were negotiated between the Company and an arm's length third party.

Financial instrument risk exposure

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company's risk management framework. The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board approves and monitors the risk management processes.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its payment obligations. The Company manages this credit risk by ensuring that cash is placed with a major financial institution with strong investment grade ratings by a primary ratings agency.

Six Month Period Ended February 28, 2025

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Company endeavors to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company's holdings of cash. The Company's cash is invested in business accounts which are available on demand. The Company is exposed to liquidity risk.

Contractual undiscounted cash flow requirements for financial liabilities as at February 28, 2025 are as follows:

<1 year 2-3 Years Total
($) ($) ($)
Accounts payable 312,067 - 312,067
Notes payable 118,496 - 118,496

Interest rate risk

The Company is nominally exposed to interest rate risk. The Company's bank account earns interest income at variable rates. The Company does not have any variable interest rate liabilities.

Foreign exchange risk

The Company is not exposed to significant foreign currency risk.

Management of Capital

The Company considers items included in shareholders' deficiency as capital. The Company's objective when managing capital is to safeguard the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in order to pursue project opportunities for the benefit of its shareholders. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt or acquire or dispose of assets. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain debt or equity capital in the case of operating cash deficits.

There have been no changes to the Company's approach to capital management during the period ended February 28, 2025.

Risks and Uncertainties

a) Political and Regulatory Risk

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder. These may include responding to orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Six Month Period Ended February 28, 2025

b) Limited Operational History

The Company does not have any significant operations. As a result, there is no assurance that the Company will earn profits in the future or that profitability, if achieved, will be sustained.

c) Additional Financing

The Company will require additional financing in order to make further developments or take advantage of unanticipated opportunities. The ability of the Company to arrange such financing will depend in part upon prevailing capital market conditions as well as the business performance of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms satisfactory to it. If additional financing is raised by the issuance of shares from treasury, control of the Company may change and shareholders may suffer dilution. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of opportunities or otherwise respond to competitive pressures and remain in business.

d) Key Personnel and Future Staffing Requirements

The Company's success will also be dependent on its ability to identify, recruit, motivate and retain highly qualified executive, management and technical support.

e) Price Volatility of a Public Stock

The securities markets in the United States and Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market price of securities of many companies, particularly those considered to be exploration of development stage companies, have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance or underlying net asset values of such companies.
