ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Corporate Organization and History within the Last Three years
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 18, 2007 under the name Siga Resources Inc. We do not have any subsidiaries or affiliated companies. Since our default have defaulted on payments to keep the ownership in the Lucky Thirteen Claim intact. Consequently, we have lost our interest in the Lucky Thirteen Claim entirely.
We have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings since inception nor have we been party to a reclassification, merger, consolidation, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business. We have no intention of entering into a corporate merger or acquisition.
Business Development since Inception
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance as an exploration corporation. We are a pre-exploration stage company and have not generated any revenues from our exploration activities. Further, we have not generated any revenues since our formation on January 18, 2007. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our exploration activities. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
To become profitable and competitive, we commence our exploration of the Big Monty Claims or resurrect our ownership interest in the Lucky Thirteen Claim by making the requisite payments; or we must find an alternate mining claim. We must obtain equity or debt financing to provide the capital required implement our phased exploration program.We have no assurance that financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we will be unable to commence, continue, develop or expand our exploration activities. Even if available, equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. Accordingly, we must raise cash from other sources. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others in the Company.
To meet our need for cash we must raise additional capital. We will attempt to raise additional money through a private placement, public offering or through loans. We have discussed this matter with our officers and directors. However, our officers and directors are unwilling to make any commitments to loan us any money at this time. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash. We require additional cash to continue operations. Such operations could take many years of exploration and would require expenditure of very substantial amounts of money, money we do not presently have and may never be able to raise. If we cannot raise it we will have to abandon our planned exploration activities and go out of business.
We estimate we will require $153,069 in cash over the next twelve months. For a detailed breakdown refer to "Liquidity and Capital Reserves". In addition, cash will be required to cover the phase one cost of completing the exploration work for the Big Monty Claims during that period is estimated at $67,500; and, if required the phase two costs estimated at $186,000.

Location and Access
The Big Monty Claims is located approximately 70 kilometers (44 miles) north of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, and 68 kilometers east of Timmins, Ontario (42 miles). It is located approximately 10 kilometers (6 miles) east of Matheson, Ontario. The area covered by the Claim is an active mineral exploration and development region with plenty of heavy equipment and operators available for hire. Both Kirkland Lake and Timmins can provide all necessary amenities and supplies including, fuel, helicopter services, hardware, drilling companies and assay services. Access to our Claim is via major highway east of Matheson. No water is required for the purposes of our planned exploration work. No electrical power is required at this stage of exploration. Any electrical power that might be required in the foreseeable future could be supplied by gas powered portable generators.
The claim's terrain is rugged with mountain forests growth throughout.
Property Geology
Bedrock outcrops were found to be generally rare across all of the claims. This was due to vegetation and glacial till. Portions of the claims have been logged in recent years; particularly the northern portion of claim 4256645 and claims 4256646 and 4256647. However, the logged areas have re-vegetated with first generation plants (grasses, pines, scrub oaks, sumac, etc.) making it difficult to find bedrock exposures. Also a significant portion of the claims area is covered with a veneer of glacial till of varying thicknesses. The till is described as a fine to medium grain arkosic sand with occasional pebble and gravel size clasts. This till dominates claims area south of the North Branch of the Porcupine-Destor Fault. The available bedrock outcrops are primarily found on claims 4255645, 4255646 and 4255647 due to recent logging and the glacial till being locally thinner at these claims. The observed bedrock is a massive fine-grained mafic volcanic rocks intruded with mafic rock characterized by pillow structures. Also observed was a northwest/southeast dike on claim 4255646. The dike rock is described as a medium-grain with visible feldspars and slightly magnetic. Finally, accessory minerals of pyrite and possible arsenopyrite were observed in several rocks. The general geochemistry is indicating the collect rocks are mafic being rich in iron and magnesium with low silica by weight. No significant concentrations of precious, base or rare earth elements were detected in the collected rocks. A belt of volcanic rocks, of the Savura Volcanic Group, underlies the property. These volcanic rocks are exposed along a wide axial zone of a broad complex. The presence of these rocks is on our property is relevant to us as gold mineralization, at the nearby (approximately 20 miles to the west of our claim) Nasoata Gold Mine, a past producer of gold in commercial quantities, is generally concentrated within extrusive volcanic rocks (of the Savura Volcanic Group) on the walls of large volcanic caldera.
The Big Monty Claims are located approximately 6 miles east of the town of Matheson (2,410 population).
Previous Exploration
On October 28, 2013, G3 - Gauvreau GeoEnvironmental Group Inc. prepared 2013 Claims Assessment Report. The work performed as part of the claims assessment necessary for the Big Monty Property to maintain the claims in good standing following the guidelines set forth by the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM). The Big Monty Property is a northwest to southeast group of seven claims on Crown Land located west and south of Trollope Lake in Frecheville Township as illustrated on Figure 1. The claim numbers are the following: 4256641, 4256642, 4256644, 4256645, 4256646 and 4256647.
The assessment work for the claims is divided into three tasks:
1)
|
Field Study performing geologic mapping and sampling
|
|
|
2)
|
Magnetic Survey interpretation, and
|
|
|
3)
|
Georeferencing.
|
The Big Monty claims were staked in September and October of 2010. These claims are geologically located in the Abitibi greenstone province. Structurally the claims lie along the central sector of the north branch of the Porcupine-Destor Fault. This Fault divides the claim's lithostratographic assemblages north and south. The northern half of the claims has been mapped as Stoughton-Roquemaure Assemblage (27.25 to 27.20 Ma) (1). The southern and up side of the Fault has been mapped as the as the Kidd-Munro Assemblage (27.18 to 27.10 Ma) (1). The Stoughton-Roquemaure Assemblage is characterized by komatiitic basalt and low to high-Mg komatiite intrusives. Spinifex-textured and pillowed komatiites are common (2) while the Kidd-Monro Assemblage is described as assemblage as ultramafic and mafic, tholeiitic, metavolcanic rocks with minor high-silica rhyolite (1).
In the 2012 assessment period, an aerial magnetic survey was conducted on the Big Monty claims. The results from aerial magnetic survey produced a residual magnetic intensity map and a first vertical derivative of the residual magnetic intensity map. No corresponding geologic interpretation of the aerial magnetic survey was completed during that assessment period.
Field Study
A field study was performed beginning October 7 through October 11 and October 22, 2013. The purpose of the field study, where possible, was to complete the following:
|
·
|
geological mapping,
|
|
·
|
grab/hand rock sampling,
|
|
·
|
geochemical sampling,
|
|
·
|
structural mapping (faults, joints, fractures, etc.), and
|
|
·
|
GPS locating of control points including claim corner posts and claim boundaries.
|
Nine rock samples were collected from various bedrock outcrops during the field study. These samples were submitted to an Agat Laboratories in Sudbury, Ontario for chemical analyses.
The field geological mapping and chemical analysis data is used to tie the aerial magnetometer survey to observable and mapable bedrock conditions along with structures the Porcupine-Destor Fault Zone.
Aerial Magnetometer Survey Interpretation
The interpretation of the aerial magnetic survey interpretation was conducted using the data collected in the field. The results from aerial magnetic survey produced a residual magnetic intensity map and a first vertical derivative of the residual magnetic intensity map. The reader is reminded that a magnetic field has a direction or vector. Residual magnetic intensity is the remnant magnetic field before the rock has cooled below the Curie point and the magnetic field has been removed (3). This magnetism can be in any direction. The residual magnetic intensity is not only the magnetism from the first cooling event but the residual magnetism can be affected but subsequent events (magmatic or hydrothermal intrusion) that will affect the magnetic minerals in that formation.
The first vertical derivative of the residual magnetic intensity emphasizes near surface features by mathematically removing the inclination and declination of the field from the data. The transformed data views the same geologic structures as the residual magnetic intensity map, but with the magnetic pole's field induced vertical. The first vertical derivative is calculated by measuring the magnetic field simultaneously at two points vertically above each other and dividing the difference in the magnetic intensities by the distance between the two points. Figure 3 illustrates the residual magnetic intensity. The north branch of the Porcupine-Destor Fault is the dividing line between high and low magnetic intensity.
The magnetic intensity decreases to the southwest of the Fault. Correspondingly, the magnetic intensity is elevated on the claims northeast of the Fault. Interestingly, off set movement of the low magnetic intensity to the northeast is illustrated by the faults labeled 2 and 3 movements to the northeast. The low magnetic intensity located in the southeastern part of the Big Monty claims can be interpreted to be the lack of magnetic minerals which may possibly be due to an underlying felsic intrusive body. The mafic dike on claim 4255646 was expected to have a clear magnetic signature especially considering the rock sample collected from the dike was slightly magnetized and had the highest iron concentration however no geometric magnetic signature mimicking the dike was observed.
As with the residual magnetic intensity map, areas of north of the Porcupine-Destor Fault illustrate relatively higher general magnetic intensity than areas south of the Fault, and the southwestern portion of claim 4256641 is also an area of low magnetic intensity. Five near circular areas of elevated magnetic intensity are interpreted along or paralleling to the Northern Branch of the Porcupine- Destor Fault in claims 4256641, 4256642 and 4256645. These features are interpreted to be intrusions characterized by rocks with significant magnetic minerals. The relationship of the intrusions to the Fault can be interpreted as these intrusions having been injected into the Fault.
Georeferencing
MNDM requires the claims to be in spatially correct location. Georeferencing was planned as part of the field study following the MNDM guidelines. During the Field Study each claim corner was found using a GPS. Unfortunately no claims post were found at or surrounding these GPS locations. A request for extension has been filed to complete the georeferencing and re-posting of the claims.
Proposed Exploration Work – Plan of Operation
The ultimate goal of the assessment work is to identify locations of where to drill for precious metals. To achieve that goal from the available data, various assumptions must be made regarding the interpretation for the potential of mineralization. For example, if the assumption is that gold will be associated with quartz/felsic intrusions then the southwestern corner of claim 4256640 represents a reasonable target area. If it is further assumed that mineralization is associated with fault structures, then the northeast trending Faults 3 and 4 should be focus areas for potential exploration locations.
However, if the mineralization is associated with massive sulfide intrusions then the five elevated magnetic areas associated with the Fault are potential targets. Massive sulfides are usually associated with pyrite which is only slightly magnetic. The mineralization may be associated with pyrhhotite and magnetite which are common in sulfide intrusives. It should be noted that two of the elevated magnetic intensity areas are located at junction points between the Branch of the Porcupine-Destor Fault and the northeastern trending faults. The junction locations are ideal for intrusives and are recommended drilling locations.
Consequently, the proposed field work will be a phased exploration program to properly evaluate the potential of the Big Monty Claims.We must conduct exploration to determine what minerals exist on our property and whether they can be economically extracted and profitably processed. We plan to proceed with exploration of the Big Monty Claims by drilling the quartz/felsic intrusion as well as testing further the five elevated magnetic areas associated with the fault in order to begin determining the potential for discovering commercially exploitable deposits of gold on our claim.
We have not discovered any ores or reserves on the Big Monty Claims. Our planned work is exploratory in nature.
The goal of phase 1 is to utilize the current data base for the project, (an airborne mag survey and a brief geologic review done in 2013) to develop possible drill targets seeking precious and base metals on the 7 claims comprising the Monty Project.
The existing knowledge of geology and structure is insufficient to spot drill targets at this time. Only 9 rock samples were taken and none found more than trace values in precious or base metals. A problem was lack of outcrop, limiting knowledge of the actual rock types, including structure and geology. 10 outcrops were found and the geological evaluation was minimal. The report does not indicate that rock fabric or strike and dip of features was performed.
The Porcupine-Destor fault system is believed to run generally East-West through the property with numerous North East-South West cross faults providing several possible intersecting structural features which could possibly host economic mineralization.
Phase 1 will revisit outcrops for mapping and recording attitudes and fabric. Outcrop exposure will be attempted by stripping moss and vegetation from shallowly covered areas. This same effort will assess access for drill equipment, and determine if additional geophysics, either airborne or ground, would be valuable in determining more precisely the strike and dip of the major structures.
Competitive Factors
The mining industry is highly fragmented. We are competing with many other exploration companies looking for gold. We are among the smallest exploration companies in existence and are an infinitely small participant in the mining business which is the cornerstone of the founding and early stage development of the mining industry. While we generally compete with other exploration companies, there is no competition for the exploration or removal of minerals from our claims. Readily available markets exist for the sale of gold. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any gold that we are able to recover, in the event commercial quantities are discovered on the Big Monty Claims. There is no ore body on the Big Monty Claims.
Government Regulation
Exploration activities are subject to various national and provincial laws which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable mining, health, safety and environmental statutes and the regulations passed there under in Ontario and Canada.
Environmental Regulation
Our exploration activities are subject to various federal, provincial and local laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing and, as a general matter, are becoming more restrictive. Our policy is to conduct business in a way that safeguards public health and the environment. We believe that our exploration activities are conducted in material compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Changes to current local, state or federal laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate could require additional capital expenditures and increased operating and/or reclamation costs. Although we are unable to predict what additional legislation, if any, might be proposed or enacted, additional regulatory requirements could render certain exploration activities uneconomic.
Employees
Initially, we intend to use the services of subcontractors for labor exploration work on our claim. At present, we have no employees as such although our officer and director devotes a portion of their time to the affairs of the Company. Our officer and director does not have an employment agreement with us. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt such plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to any employee.
As indicated above we will hire subcontractors on an as needed basis. We have not entered into negotiations or contracts with any of potential subcontractors. We do not intend to initiate negotiations or hire anyone until we are nearing the time of commencement of our planned exploration activities.
There are no permanent facilities, plants, buildings or equipment on our mineral claim.
Mineralization
No mineralization has been reported for the area of the property but structures and shear zones affiliated with mineralization on adjacent properties pass through it.
Exploration
Previous exploration work has not included any attempt to drill the structure on Big Monty Claims. Records indicate that no detailed exploration has been completed on the property.
Adjacent Properties
The adjacent properties are cited as examples of the type of deposit that has been discovered in the area and are not major facets to this report.

The balance of the $1,000,000 requisite expenditure will be made dependent on the success of Phases One and Two. There are no permanent facilities, plants, buildings or equipment on the Big Monty Claims.
We intend to complete the exploration work on the Big Monty Claims. No exact date has been determined for the commencement of exploration work on the Big Monty Claims.
Particularly since we have a limited operating history, no reserves and no revenue, our ability to raise additional funds might be limited. If we are unable to raise the necessary funds, we would be required to suspend Siga's operations and liquidate our company.
There are no permanent facilities, plants, buildings or equipment on the Big Monty Claims.
Trends
We are in the pre-explorations stage, have not generated any revenue and have no prospects of generating any revenue in the foreseeable future unless we place a property in production. We are unaware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our business or income, either in the long term of short term, other than as described in this section or in 'Risk Factors' on page 5.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments.
The going concern basis of presentation assumes we will continue in operation throughout the next fiscal year and into the foreseeable future and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Certain conditions, discussed below, currently exist which raise substantial doubt upon the validity of this assumption. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of January 31, 2016 our total assets were $17,007 and our total liabilities were $274,734.
Not including the cost of completing the exploration phase of our Lucky Thirteen Claim, our non-elective expenses over the next twelve months, are expected to be as follows:

Filing fees in Nevada
|
To maintain the Company in good standing in the State of Nevada an annual fee of approximately $375 has been paid to the Secretary of State.
We have estimated a cost of approximately $25,000 for photocopying, printing, fax and delivery, travel, transfer agent and entertainment. Director Fees total $1,500 per month or $18,000. Total Office and General is estimated to be $43,000.
Our future operations are dependent upon our ability to obtain third party financing in the form of debt and equity and ultimately to generate future profitable operations or income from investments. As of January 31, 2016, we have not generated revenues, and have experienced negative cash flow from operations. We may look to secure additional funds through future debt or equity financings. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms.
