The
Company
Mexus
Gold US is an exploration stage mining company engaged in the
evaluation, acquisition, exploration and advancement of gold,
silver and copper projects in the State of Sonora, Mexico. Mexus
Gold US is dedicated to protect the environment and provide
employment and education opportunities for the communities that it
operates in.
Our
President and CEO, Paul Thompson, brings over 45 years’ experience
in mining and mining development to Mexus Gold US. Mr. Thompson is
currently recruiting additional management personnel for its Mexico
and Nevada mining operations.
Our executive
offices are located at, 1805 N. Carson Street, #150, Carson City,
Nevada 89701. Our telephone number is (916) 776 2166.
We were
originally incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on
June 22, 1990, as U.S.A. Connection, Inc. On September 18, 2009, we
changed our domicile to Nevada and changed our name to Mexus Gold
US to better reflect our new business operations. Our fiscal year
end is March 31st.
Description of the Business of Mexus Gold US
Mexus
Gold US is engaged in the evaluation, acquisition, exploration and
advancement of gold exploration and development projects in the
United Mexican States, as well as, the salvage of precious metals
from identifiable sources. Our main activities in the near future
will be comprised of our mining operations in Mexico. Our mining
opportunities located in the State of Sonora, Mexico will provide
us with projects to recover gold, silver, copper and other precious
metals.
3
In
addition, our management will look for opportunities to improve the
value of the gold projects that we own or may acquire knowledge of
or may acquire control through exploration drilling, introduction
of technological innovations or acquisition with the goal of
developing those properties into operating mines. We expect that
emphasis on gold project acquisition and development will continue
in the future.
Business Strategy
Our
business plan was developed with the overriding goal of maximizing
shareholder value through the exploration and development of our
mineral properties, utilizing the extensive mining-related
background and capabilities of our management consultants and
advisors. To achieve this goal, our business plan focuses on the
following prospective areas:
Mining
Operations
We
classify our mineral properties into three categories: “Development
Properties”, “Advanced Exploration Properties”, and “Other
Exploration Properties”. Development Properties are properties
where a decision to develop the property into a producing mine has
been made. Advanced Exploration Properties are those properties
where we retain a significant ownership interest or joint venture
and where there has been sufficient drilling and analysis to
identify and report proven and probable reserves or other
mineralized material. We currently do not have a Development
Property or Advanced Exploration Property. Other Exploration
Properties are those that do not fall into the other categories.
Please see below for information about our Other Exploration
Properties.
Effective March 31, 2011, we acquired Mexus Gold S.A. de C.V. (our
wholly owned subsidiary) and began funding mining operations in
Mexico. A small placer processing operation was instituted to
evaluate various areas of interest within the project lands held by
Mexus Gold S.A. de C.V.
Mexus Properties and Future Plans
Santa Elena Gold
Project
The Company
is managed by Paul Thompson Sr., President. The Santa Elena mine is
located 54km NW of Caborca, Sonora State, Mexico. This fully
permitted project consists of 9 concessions and totals over 6500
acres. The property is easily accessible from the local highway
with major infrastructure a short distance away. The Santa Elena
project is 100% owned by Mexus Gold US.
Exploration at the Santa Elena project area has been systematically
directed as initial surface geologic mapping and sampling with some
ground geophysical surveys as electro magnetics and radiometric.
Evaluation of results has led to continued production sampling with
percussion drilling and diamond core drilling of portions of areas
of interest. This resulted in 3 major geologic structures which are
open pit mined and are the main source of production. The producing
structures are all associated with mixed hydrothermal quartz vein
fissure filling and orogenic thrust fault conduits and are in the
order of 0.5 to 9 g/t gold. Additional structures are in the area
and will be soon be evaluated and brought to production. The
exploration resulted in the discovery of three major targets on
Mexus’ three of nine concessions located on the Santa Elena gold
project. This resulted in the company opening 3 pits: Julio 1,
Julio 2 and Mexus 3. Mineralized material was crushed to 1/2inch
minus and transferred to the existing heap leach pad via a conveyor
system. All three pits show mineable grade gold up to 1 oz. per
ton. All 3 pits show a viable chemistry after running four months
and testing an estimated 25,000 tons. As of June 20, 2020, the
Company is producing ore from the Julio 1 pit which is the most
cost effective to mine and has proven to be very productive
leaching material.
Preliminary reserve estimates at the Santa Elena project indicates
a tonnage of approximately 1.5 to 5 million tons to a depth of 100
meters on the Julio structure. Geologic data further indicates the
Julio structure is present at depths of 1,000 to 2,000 meters at a
shallow incline. There are five additional structures that have
been identified for further evaluation the Santa Elena Projects
lands.
Production
was slowed due to COVID 19.
Return flow from the heap leach pad is running from .2 to .5 GPT of
solution. At this stage of development, the company expects return
from the heap leach pad flow and the activated carbon cell flow to
match at 9 liters per second allowing a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week
uninterrupted operation at an average of .35 per ton solution.
Three carbon cells are in use with 100% recovery in addition to the
final recovery being an electro winning plant to clean the gold
from the activated carbon. The electro winning plant takes
approximately 30 hours to run 1 ton of material carbon. The company
has a complete and operable Merrill Crowe gold recovery plant on
site as a back‐up.
4
The Company has all the necessary mining, crushing and recovery
equipment to mine 3000 tons a week. Future plans include the
development and expansion of the Santa Elena gold project to an
estimated 300 oz. Au production per month by the second quarter of
2021. The company is planning to
construct a second larger heap leach pad adjacent to the existing
pad presently in use. This construction project is expected to be
completed by June 2021.
Mabel
Property
Mexus Gold MX, a fully owned subsidiary of Mexus Gold US, is 90%
owner of the Mabel Project comprised of approximately 2,128
hectares (5,258 acres) is located approximately 52Km’s SW from
Nogales, Sonora State, Mexico and 34Km’s south of the United States
border at Sasabe.
Mexus has decided to continue to validate a Technical Report on the
advanced Gold and Porphyry Copper property. Completion of an
updated 43‐101 Technical Report will include all exploration
results since the last 43‐101 report which was issued on January
14, 2013. The update report will include high density drilling,
geologic mapping, geophysics and a preliminary resource
estimate.
The 2013 exploration consisted of
more than 700 drill holes, 4000 RC drills and surface samples which
were analyzed in several independent laboratories.
Preliminary Resource Estimates from a 5% fraction of the project
gave 1.3 million tons of 0.7 g/t Au and 23 g/t Ag including 20%
with an average grade of 1.9 g/t Au equivalent. Potential resources
at productive shallow depths are expected to be approximately
6,000,000 tons.
There are also surface geological and
geophysical anomalies identified which, upon further evaluation and
sampling, may present a strong potential for the existence of a
porphyry copper target.
Ures
Property
Mexus Gold US
owns mineral rights to approximately 10,000 acres over 9
concessions near Hermosillo, Mexico. The concessions include the
Ocho Hermanos, 370, San Ramon, Plan Osa, Edgar 1, Edgar 2, El
Scorpio, Los Laureles, and Eusol. The concessions are located in
Sonora State, Mexico approximately 80 KM NE of
Hermosillo.
In the past year, Mexus has completed leach VAT testing and
trenching including assaying with promising results. Historical
assaying of the Ocho Hermanos concession has produced assays up to
1 Kg Ag per ton with 10 Gpt Au, 4% lead and 1% copper. One ton of
mineralized materials holds 40 metals which is a complex ore. The
Company is evaluating production procedures to economically process
mine this ore.
Mexus has done limited drill hole testing of the Scorpio Project
concession with results up to 3% copper, 1.5 Gpt Au, and 60 Gpt
Ag.
The Company plans to begin drilling on 3 of the 9 concessions by
mid-2021.
Non-Material
Mining Properties
San Felix Mine
Project (formerly known as the Mexus-Trinidad Joint
Venture)
In
March, 2014, we sold our 50% interest in the Joint Venture to Atzek
Mineral S.A. de C.V (“Atzek”). Atzek is currently in default of the
sale agreement.
Effective January 13, 2017, our wholly owned subsidiary, Mexus Gold
Mining, S.A. de C.V., entered into a purchase agreement with Jesus
Leopoldo Felix Mazon, Leonardo Elias Jaime Perez, and Elia Lizardi
Perez, wherein we purchased a 50% interest in the “San Felix”
mining site located in the La Alameda area of Caborca, State of
Sonora, Mexico. The remaining 50% of the site is owned jointly by
Mar Holdings S.A. de C.V. and Marco Antonio Martinez Mora. The San
Felix mining site contains seven (7) concessions over an area of
approximately 26,000 acres. During the year ended March 31, 2018,
the Company recorded an impairment of mineral property for the San
Felix Project of $75,000 because the payment of $500,000
installment due on August 13, 2017 was not executed in accordance
with the purchase agreement pending the receipt of certain required
instruments from the Grantor by the Company.
5
Other
Operations
Cable Salvage
Operation
The
Company completed the first phase of its Cable Recovery Project in
Alaskan waters. The cable which was recovered was smaller diameter
cable which was excellent for testing the recovery equipment and
vessels. The Company evaluated the project and conducted a mapping
project and exploration activities in an attempt to identify larger
cable.
At
March 31, 2017, the Company ceased cable salvage operations in
order to fully concentrate on Mexico operations.
Mergers and
Acquisitions
We
will routinely review merger and acquisition opportunities. An
appropriate merger and acquisition opportunity must be accretive to
the overall value of Mexus Gold US. Our primary focus will be on
those opportunities involving precious metal production or
near-term production with a secondary focus on other resource-based
opportunities. Potential acquisition targets would include private
and public companies or individual properties. Although our
preference would be for candidates located in the United States and
Mexico; Mexus Gold US will consider opportunities located in other
countries where the geopolitical risk is acceptable.
Description of
Mining Projects
The
following properties are located in Mexico and owned by Mexus Gold
S.A. de C.V., our wholly owned subsidiary:
Santa Elena Prospects (formerly known as the Caborca
Project)
The
Company executed a revised Mineral Mining and Purchase Agreement,
dated December 3, 2015, with the Concession Owners covering 2,225
acres located in the State of Sonora, Mexico. The Agreement is for
a term of 25 years and specifies a purchase privilege, at the
discretion of the Company, for all concessions in the amount of
$2,000,000 absent the exercise of the purchase privilege a royalty
of 40% for lode deposits and 25% for placer deposits and is
credited to the purchase price. The Agreement specifies a delayed
monthly royalty in the amount of $1,000 and the payment of the
semi-annual concession tax.

The
Company has conducted geological evaluation of the Santa Elena
Prospects comprised of expanding the existing placer facility for
the purpose of mineral evaluation, physical geological evaluations
including the drilling of reverse circulation and core holes.
Situated on the prospect area are caterpillars, haul trucks,
maintenance trucks, power generators, pumps, tractor blade, truck
mounted winch, water handling supplies and maintenance trailer with
supplies. The prospect area is accessed from a state highway on
existing roads. There is access to well water which is available
for the current and future operations.
On
January 5, 2011, Mexus Gold Mining S.A. de C.V. entered into a
Purchase Agreement to purchase the Santa Elena Prospect, formerly
known as the Caborca Project. The Santa Elena Prospect consists of
7,400 acres (3,000 hectares) about 50 kilometers northwest of the
City of Caborca, Sonora State, Mexico. The Caborca Project lies on
claims filed by the owners of the Santa Elena Ranch, which controls
the surface rights over the project claims. The claims lie near
112o 25' W, 31o 7.5" N. These claims were
visited near the end of January, 2011. On or about July 11, 2011,
we acquired five additional claims surrounding the Santa Elena
Prospect consisting of approximately 1,000 additional acres.
6
We
have been unable to locate geologic maps of the area from the
Government Geological Survey. However, pursuant to our
investigation of the project, the claims were found to be underlain
by an igneous complex. The rocks observed included many types of
granitic rocks, exhibiting porphyrytic textures, gneissic and
equigrannular textures. Quartz was variable. At times quartz "eyes"
were observed, that is porphyrytic quartz which many workers
consider to be indicative of a porphyry environment. In other
localities, no quartz was evident. When no quartz was present, the
rock was equigrannular. Quartz veining was evident throughout the
claim group. A mine was developed along a major quartz vein, called
the Julio 2 Mine with the vein being called the Julio Vein.
There
are multiple exploration targets on the Santa Elena Prospect. The
two most important are the quartz stockwork zone and the Julio vein
system. The first target will be the quartz stockwork zone area. A
limited drilling program has been conducted and completed.
Production testing has been completed resulting in the construction
of the surface production and recovery facilities.
Access to the Santa Elena prospect is via dirt road approximately
two miles west of paved highway Mexico 1 and approximately 34 miles
northwest of the town of Caborca, Sonora, Mexico.

The
Guadalupe de Ures Project is accessed from Hermosillo by driving
via good paved road for 60 kilometers to the town of Guadalupe de
Ures and then for 15 kilometers over dirt roads to the prospects. A
base camp has been established near the town of Guadalupe de Ures
using mainly trailers for accommodation, workshops and kitchen
facilities.
FIGURE 2 -
GUADALUPE DE URES PROJECT LOCATION MAP

The
Ocho Hermanos Project (also called the Guadalupe de Ures Project)
consists of the “Ocho Hermanos” and "San Ramon" claims which are
covered by the Sales and Production Contract dated the
4th day of July, 2009 between “Minerales Ruta Dorado de
RL de CV” (seller) and “Mexus Gold Mining S.A. de C.V.”, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Mexus Gold US (buyer). The Ocho Hermanos Claim
consists of 34.9940 hectares (1 acre = 0.4047 hectares) or 86.4690
acres while the San Ramon Claim consists of 80 hectares (197.6773
acres).(Figure 4).
The
initial term of the agreement was 5 years. During the term Mexus
must pay 40% of the net revenue received for minerals produced to
the seller. At the conclusion of the 5 years, the lease could be
purchased for USD 50,000. Upon expiration on July 4, 2014, Mexus
renewed the agreement with an indefinite term. The renewed
agreement requires Mexus to pay $1,500 per month and 20% to the
total proceeds upon a sale of the rights.
Minerales Ruta Dorado de RL de CV is a duly constituted Mexican
Company and as such can hold mining claims in Mexico.
FIGURE 3 - OCHO HERMANOS
PROJECT AREA CLAIM MAP
We
did not perform any systematic sampling or any systematic drilling
and because of this did not set up a formal QA/QC program. All of
the samples were submitted to Certified Laboratories (ALS - Chemex
in Hermosillo or American Assay in Reno, Nevada) which insert their
own QA/QC samples/duplicates. Also the laboratories run duplicates
and blanks from each batch fired. The sequence of events so far is
the following:
We
located a previously mined area with interesting values – Ocho
Hermanos. Mexus began to submit characterization samples to the
above noted assay laboratories, in order to determine the range of
Au - Ag values present. Mexus then began an investigation into
recovery options by using material taken from the areas with the
better values.
9
The
above work was completed before any systematic exploration was done
because if no recovery method could be found relatively quickly,
the project would move more slowly because of the lead time
involved. Mexus began work on an Environmental Impact Statement for
the likely operational area (a total of 4 hectares to begin). In
order to complete the EIS, figures for estimated tonnages for
volume were submitted. To date, no suitable recovery method has been identified due
primarily to the partial oxidation of the principally sulfide
deposit.
The
Environmental Permits run for 35 years so there is time for further
investigation.
The
main geologic feature of this project area is an apparent “manto”
sulfide zone composed primarily of galena with some pyrite,
arsenopyrite and possibly pyrrhotite. Above this zone there is an
oxide zone composed of iron and lead oxides. The sulfides
themselves are partially oxidized. Reconnaissance and
characterization samples taken indicated sporadically high gold and
silver values. The deposit occurs in shallow water sediments
(principally quartzites, with some limestone and shales) and can be
best characterized as a skarn type deposit due to the presence of
intrusive rocks within 1 kilometer.
Given
the complex nature of the sulfide deposit and the partial
oxidization of the material (indicated by the presence of yellow
colored lead oxides), a satisfactory recovery method has not yet
been found. Consequently, at this time, no further systematic work
beyond the initial reconnaissance and characterization sampling has
been completed. The entire project was essentially put on hold
until a suitable recovery method is found, which is a continuing
effort and at this time is being pursued by a member of the faculty
at the University of Sonora in Hermosillo. The faculty member
teaches metallurgy and assay practices at the University. After a
suitable recovery method has been identified, the process will need
to be confirmed by a certified metallurgical testing
laboratory.
The
Environmental Permits detail all of the affected flora and fauna.
The land is presently used for cattle grazing and the surface
rights are owned by the community of Guadalupe de Ures. An
agreement is in place with Mexus Gold Mining S.A. de C.V. for
surface access and disturbance. The Environmental Permit concludes
that no permanent damage or degradation of the present land use
will result from the intended activity on the lands. At present,
the Environmental Permits cover a total of 4 hectares - 3 hectares
cover the initial site of the mineral as presently understood and 1
hectare is permitted for the erection of a suitable extraction
plant.
No
known contamination from past mining activities was found or is
known to locals. The historic workings consisted of a few shallow
adits and pits. In the course of obtaining the Environmental
Permission the permit stipulated that properly lined ponds etc.
must be used to prevent any potential surface or ground water
contamination from any proposed activities.
Only
separation is proposed to be conducted on site if found to be
possible, while final metal recovery will be conducted at a
properly licensed and certified metal refining facility. Current
efforts to find suitable recovery methods are being conducted off
site in a University laboratory. Up sizing the process, if found,
will be completed by a licensed, certified metallurgical
laboratory.
Figures of the proposed permitted sites are attached. These were
extracted from the environmental permit Application.

shale) intruded by dacite and diorite as well as rhyolite. The
dacite exhibits argillic alterations as well as silicification
(quartz veins). The entire area is well oxidized on the surface.
This is an area of classic disseminated low grade gold and silver
mineralization. Surface grab sample assays show 0.14 grams per ton
to as high as 29.490 grams per ton gold. This area is an important
area for potentially defining an open pit heap leach
project.
El Scorpion Project
Area
This
area has several shear zones and veins which show copper and gold
mineralization. Recent assays of an 84’ drill hole shows 1.750% per
ton to .750% per ton of copper and 3.971 grams per ton to 0.072
grams per ton of gold. Another assay of rock sample from the area
shows greater than 4.690% per ton copper. This land form
distribution appears to be synonymous to the ideal porphyry deposit
at Baja La Alumbrera, Argentina.
Los
Laureles
Los
Laureles is a vein type deposit mainly gold with some silver and
copper. Recent assays from grab samples show gold values of 67.730
grams per ton gold, 38.4 grams per ton silver, 2,800 grams per ton
copper.
As of
the date of this Report, we have opened up old workings at the Los
Laureles claim and have discovered a gold carrying vein running
north and south into the mountain to the south.
The San Felix Mine
Project
The
San Felix mining site contains seven (7) concessions over an area
of approximately 26,000 acres located in the La Alameda area of
Caborca, Sonora, Mexico. During the year ended March 31, 2018, the
Company recorded an impairment of mineral property for the San
Felix Project of $75,000 because the requirement payment of
$500,000 due on August 13, 2017 was not paid in accordance with the
purchase agreement pending the receipt of certain required
instruments from the Grantor by the Company.
Employees
We
have one employee, Paul D. Thompson, and no other employees at this
time in the United States of Mexico. Consultants with specific
skills are utilized to assist with various aspects of the
requirements of activities such as project evaluation, property
management, due diligence, acquisition initiatives, corporate
governance and property management. If we complete our planned
activation of the operations of the Mexican mining properties, our
total workforce will be approximately 20 persons. Mr. Paul D.
Thompson is our sole officer and director.
12
Competition
We
compete with other mining companies in connection with the
acquisition of gold properties. There is competition for the
limited number of gold acquisition opportunities, some of which is
with companies having substantially greater financial resources
than Mexus Gold US. As a result, Mexus Gold US may have difficulty
acquiring attractive gold projects at reasonable prices.
Management of Mexus Gold US believes that no single company has
sufficient market power to affect the price or supply of gold in
the world market.
Legal
Proceedings
There
are no legal proceedings to which Mexus Gold US or Mexus Gold S.A.
de C.V. is a party or of which any of our properties are the
subject thereof.
Property Interests, Mining Claims and Risk
Property Interests
and Mining Claims
Our
exploration activities and operations in Mexico are subject to the
rules and regulations of the United Mexican States. The Ministry
(Secretariat) of Mining is the Federal Mexican Government ministry
charged with controlling all mining matters. A concession is
granted on the acceptance of an application which identifies the
specific minerals to be mined and description of the exact location
of the lands to be mined. The concession is subject to a semiannual
tax to continue the concession in good standing. Usually, our
arrangements with a concessionaire describe specific period
payments to the concessionaire and a royalty on the minerals
recovered from mining operations. Where prospective mineral
properties are identified by the Company, some type of conveyance
of the mining rights and property acquisition agreement is
necessary in order for us to explore or develop such property.
Generally, these agreements take the form of long term mineral
leases under which we acquire the right to explore and develop the
property in exchange for periodic cash payments during the
exploration and development phase and a royalty, usually expressed
as a percentage of gross production or net profits derived from the
leased properties if and when mines on the properties are brought
into production. Other forms of acquisition agreements are
exploration agreements coupled with options to purchase and joint
venture agreements.
Reclamation
We may be
required to mitigate long-term environmental impacts by
stabilizing, contouring, re-sloping and re-vegetating various
portions of a site after mining and mineral processing operations
are completed. These reclamation efforts will be conducted in
accordance with detailed plans, which must be reviewed and approved
by the appropriate regulatory agencies.
While the
Company, as of March 31, 2019, does not have a legal obligation
associated with the disposal of certain chemicals used in its
leaching process, the Company estimates it will incur costs up to
$50,000 to neutralize those chemicals at the close of the leaching
pond.
Risk
Our
success depends on our ability to recover precious metals, process
them, and successfully sell them for more than the cost of
production. The success of this process depends on the market
prices of metals in relation to our costs of production. We may not
always be able to generate a profit on the sale of gold or other
minerals because we can only maintain a level of control over our
costs and have no ability to control the market prices. The total
cash costs of production at any location are frequently subject to
great variation from year to year as a result of a number of
factors, such as the changing composition of ore grade or
mineralized material production, and metallurgy and exploration
activities in response to the physical shape and location of the
ore body or deposit. In addition costs are affected by the price of
commodities, such as fuel and electricity. Such commodities are at
times subject to volatile price movements, including increases that
could make production at certain operations less profitable. A
material increase in production costs or a decrease in the price of
gold or other minerals could adversely affect our ability to earn a
profit on the sale of gold or other minerals. Our success depends
on our ability to produce sufficient quantities of precious metals
to recover our investment and operating costs.
Distribution Methods of the Products
The
end product of our operations will usually be doré bars. Doré is an
alloy consisting of gold, silver and other precious metals. Doré is
sent to refiners to produce bullion that meets the required market
standard of 99.95% pure gold. Under the terms of refining
agreements, the doré bars are refined for a fee and our share of
the refined product is delivered to a buyer for immediate sale or
held by the Company for investment purposes.
13
General Market
The
general market for gold has two principal categories, being
fabrication and investment. Fabricated gold has a variety of end
uses, including jewelry, electronics, dentistry, industrial and
decorative uses, medals, medallions and official coins. Gold
investors buy gold bullion, official coins and jewelry. The supply
of gold consists of a combination of current production from mining
and the draw-down of existing stocks of gold held by governments,
financial institutions, industrial organizations and private
individuals.
Patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions, royalty
agreements, or labor contracts, including duration;
We do
not have any designs or equipment which is copyrighted, trademarked
or patented.
Effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on the
business
Government
Regulation
Mining operations and exploration activities in Mexico are subject
to the Ministry of Mining federal laws and regulations 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 have obtained or have pending applications for those licenses,
permits or other authorizations currently required to conduct our
exploration and other programs. We believe that Mexus Gold US is in
compliance in all material respects with applicable mining, health,
safety and environmental statutes and the regulations passed
thereunder any jurisdiction in which we will operate. We are not
aware of any current orders or directions relating to Mexus Gold US
with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations.
Environmental
Regulation
Our
gold projects are subject to various Mexican federal laws and
regulations governing protection of the environment. These laws are
continually changing and, in general, are becoming more
restrictive. It is our policy to conduct business in a way that
safeguards public health and the environment. We believe that the
actions and operations of Mexus Gold US will be conducted in
material compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Changes
to current Mexican federal laws and regulations where we operate
currently, or in jurisdictions where we may operate in the future,
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 impact the
economics of our projects.
Research and Development
We do not
foresee any immediate future research and development costs.
Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws
Our
gold projects are subject to various federal and state laws and
regulations governing protection of the environment. These laws are
continually changing and, in general, are becoming more
restrictive. It is our policy to conduct business in a way that
safeguards public health and the environment. We believe that our
operations are and will be conducted in material compliance with
applicable laws and regulations. The economics of our current
projects consider the costs and expenses associated with our
compliance policy.
Changes to current state or federal laws and regulations in Mexico,
where we operate currently, or in jurisdictions where we may
operate in the future, 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 impact the economics of our projects.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Recent Developments – COVID-19 Pandemic
The recent
outbreak of the coronavirus COVID-19 has spread across the globe
and is impacting worldwide economic activity. Conditions
surrounding the coronavirus continue to rapidly evolve and
government authorities have implemented emergency measures to
mitigate the spread of the virus. The outbreak and the related
mitigation measures have had and will continue to have a material
adverse impact on global economic conditions as well as on the
Company's business activities. The extent to which COVID-19 may
impact the Company's business activities will depend on future
developments, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the
disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions,
business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in the
United States, Mexico and other countries to contain and treat the
disease. These events are highly uncertain and, as such, the
Company cannot determine their financial impact at this time. No
adjustments have been made to the amounts reported in the
consolidated financial statements as a result of this matter.
Critical Accounting Policies
Equipment under Construction
Equipment under construction comprises mining equipment that is
currently being fabricated and modified by the Company and is not
presently in use. Equipment under construction totaled $0 and
$17,018 as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Mineral Property Rights
Costs of acquiring mining properties are capitalized upon
acquisition. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new
ore deposits, to expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine
areas substantially in advance of current production are also
capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the
property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to
maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby
basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are
charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates the
carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property and
equipment costs, to determine if these costs are in excess of their
recoverable amount whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs and any
related property and equipment costs would be based upon expected
future cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15, Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
Long-Lived Assets
In accordance
with ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment the Company tests
long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may
not be recoverable. 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. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying
amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally
determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected
to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as
well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss
is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and
exceeds fair value.
16
Asset Retirement Obligations
In accordance
with accounting standards for asset retirement obligations (ASC
410), the Company records the fair value of a liability for an
asset retirement obligation (ARO) when there is a legal obligation
associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset and
the liability can be reasonably estimated. The associated asset
retirement costs are supposed to be capitalized as part of the
carrying amount of the related mineral properties. As of March 31,
2020 and 2019, the Company has not recorded AROs associated with
legal obligations to retire any of the Company’s mineral properties
as the settlement dates are not presently determinable.
Revenue Recognition
The Company
recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence
of an arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred or
service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and
collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments
Accounting
standards require that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position
and measure those instruments at fair value. A change in the market
value of the financial instrument is recognized as a gain or loss
in results of operations in the period of change.
Stock-based compensation
The Company
records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in
ASC Topic 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses
related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This
eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions
using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such
transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The
Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded
vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.
ASC 505,
"Compensation-Stock Compensation", establishes standards for the
accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity
instruments to non-employees for goods or services. Under this
transition method, stock compensation expense includes compensation
expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after
January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in
accordance with the provisions of ASC 505.
Results of Operations
The
following management’s discussion and analysis of operating results
and financial condition of Mexus Gold US is for the years ended
March 31, 2020 and 2019. All amounts herein are in U.S.
dollars.
Year Ended March 31,
2020 Compared with the Year Ended March 31, 2019
We
had a net loss during the year ended March 31, 2020 of $3,218,296
compared to a net loss of $2,273,378 during the same period in
2019. The increase in net loss is primarily attributable (i) an
increase in general and administrative services of $28,140 (ii) an
increase in stock-based expense – consulting services of $110,061
(iii) an increase in interest expense of $671,094 and (v) an
increase in loss on settlement of debt of $330,274. The increase in
the net loss is partially offset by a gain on the change in the
fair value of derivatives of $118,747.
Operating
Expenses
Total
operating expenses increased to $2,122,187 for year ended March 31,
2020, compared to $1,993,923 for the year ended March 31, 2019. The
increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increases in
stock-based expense – consulting services and general and
administration expense.
For
the year ended March 31, 2020, the Company had recoveries from the
sale of gold of $76,287 compared to $0 for the year ended March 31,
2019. Sales of gold are reported as a reduction of exploration
expense in the consolidated statement of operations since the
Company is in the exploration stage.
17
Other Income
(Expense)
We
reported $1,172,396 of other expense during the year ended March
31, 2020 compared to $279,455 of other income during the same
period in 2019.
Changes in
other income (expense) is mainly attributable to an increase in
interest expense and loss on settlement of debt which was partially
offset by a gain on changes in fair value of derivative
liabilities. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to
the issuance of the convertible promissory notes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At
March 31, 2020, we had cash of $64,173 compared to cash of $12,029
at March 31, 2019.
Our
property and equipment decreased to $330,888 at March 31, 2020,
compared to $383,524 at March 31, 2019. The decrease in equipment
is largely due to depreciation expense of $168,757 during the year
ended March 31, 2020 and partially offset by $44,125 for the
purchase of equipment and $17,018 transfer of equipment under
construction to property and equipment.
Our equipment
under construction to $0 at March 31, 2020, compared to $17,018 at
March 31, 2019.
Our mineral
properties increased to $829,947 at March 31, 2020, compared to
$829,947 at March 31, 2019.
Total
assets decreased to $1,225,008 at March 31, 2020, compared to
$1,248,018 at March 31, 2019. The majority of the decrease in
assets relates to a $168,757 of depreciation expense which was
partially offset by an increase in cash of $52,144.
Our
total liabilities increased to $2,779,970 at March 31, 2020,
compared to $1,665,007 as of March 31, 2019. The increase in our
total liabilities can be primarily attributed to the issuance of
notes payable and convertible promissory notes along with the
related convertible promissory note derivative liability.
Our
working capital deficit at March 31, 2020 and 2019 is $2,715,797
and $1,647,478, respectively.
Our
net cash used in operating activities for the year ended March 31,
2020 and 2019 is $1,272,864 and $995,172, respectively. Our net
loss for the year ended March 31, 2020 of $3,218,296 was the main
contributing factor for our negative cash flow offset mainly by
depreciation and amortization of $168,757, stock-based compensation
– services of $537,900 and non-cash interest expense of
$1,206,882.
Our
net cash (used in) provided by investing activities for the year
ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is $(44,125) and $(101,981),
respectively, mainly due to the purchase of equipment.
Our
net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended March
31, 2020 and 2019 is $1,369,133 and $983,240, respectively, mainly
due to issuance of notes payable, convertible promissory notes and
common stock.
The Company
is dependent upon outside financing to continue operations. It is
management’s plans to raise necessary funds through a private
placement of its common stock to satisfy the capital requirements
of the Company’s business plan. There is no assurance that the
Company will be able to raise the necessary funds, or that if it is
successful in raising the necessary funds, that the Company will
successfully execute its business plan. The Company is unable to
predict the effect, if any, that the coronavirus COVID-19 global
pandemic may have on its access to the financing markets.
Future goals
The Caborca
Properties have become our primary focus after our installation of
a small placer recovery plant to conduct tests on prospective
placer areas and determine the viability of the placer deposits
while we conducted evaluations of the other Mexico properties. We
have added additional equipment which will allow the continuation
of mining operations of the placer deposits.
The Company
has now scheduled the installation of a crushing/milling recovery
plant for the high grade Julio quartz deposit as a result of the
values of the assay analysis from the deposit which range from .250
to 5.5 ounces of gold per ton.
Therefore,
our goal for the current year is to increase the cash flow of the
placer mining operation, continue the drilling program which began
during 2011, initialize mining operations on the Julio quartz
deposit while we conduct a thorough geological study by an
independent geological firm of the future potential of other vein
deposits located near the Julio deposit.
18
Foreign Currency Transactions
The majority
of our operations are located in United States and most of our
transactions are in the local currency. We plan to continue
exploration activities in Mexico and therefore we will be exposed
to exchange rate fluctuations. We do not trade in hedging
instruments and a significant change in the foreign exchange rate
between the United States Dollar and Mexican Peso could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
The
Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have
or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the
Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition,
revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
We currently
do not utilize sensitive instruments subject to market risk in our
operations.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Our financial
statements and related explanatory notes can be found on the “F”
Pages at the end of this Report.
Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on
Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
We conducted
an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
management, including our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this annual
report.
Based on this
evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer
concluded that as of the evaluation date our disclosure controls
and procedures were not effective. Our procedures were designed to
ensure that the information relating to our company required to be
disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms,
and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as
appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Management is currently evaluating the current
disclosure controls and procedures in place to see where
improvements can be made.
Management Report on Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting. The Company's internal
control over financial reporting has been designed to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
Company's internal control over financial reporting includes
policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect
transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company; provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in
accordance with authorization of management and directors of the
Company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of
the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the
Company's financial statements.
Because of
its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those
systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable
assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and
presentation. 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.
19
Management
assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over
financial reporting at March 31, 2020. In making this assessment,
management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in
Internal Control--Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment
under those criteria, management has determined that, at March 31,
2020, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was
not effective.
This Annual
Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the
Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal
control over financial reporting. Management's report was not
subject to attestation by the Company's registered public
accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit
the Company to provide only management's report in this annual
report.
Inherent Limitations of Internal Controls
Our internal
control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies
and procedures that:
·pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
our assets;
·provide
reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and
expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of our management and directors; and
·provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Our
management does not expect that our internal controls will prevent
or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how
well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not
absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are
met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact
that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls
must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and
instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any
evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are
subject to the risk that those internal controls may become
inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
Management
has not identified any change in our internal control over
financial reporting in connection with its evaluation of our most
recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of
Directors and
Stockholders of Mexus Gold US. and subsidiaries
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mexus Gold US. and
subsidiaries (The “Company”) as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’
(deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two
year period ended March 31, 2020 and the related notes
(collectively referred to as the consolidated financial
statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the Company as of March 31, 2020, and 2019 and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years
in the two year period ended March 31, 2020, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The Company's Ability to Continue as a Going
Concern
The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an
accumulated deficit, recurring losses, and expects continuing
future losses. At March 31, 2020, the Company is in the exploration
stage, these factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans
regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and
the PCAOB.
We conducted our
audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an
audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of
our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal
control over financial reporting, 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.
Our audits
included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or
fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such
procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits
also included evaluating the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/S/ RBSM LLP

We have

MEXUS GOLD US AND SUBSIDIARIES
(An
Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2020 and 2019
1.ORGANIZATION
AND BUSINESS OF COMPANY
Mexus Gold US
(the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the laws of the
State of Colorado on June 22, 1990, as U.S.A. Connection, Inc. On
October 28, 2005, the Company changed its’ name to Action Fashions,
Ltd. On September 18, 2009, the Company changed its’ domicile to
Nevada and changed its’ name to Mexus Gold US to better reflect the
Company’s new planned principle business operations. The Company
has a fiscal year end of March 31.
The Company is
a mining company engaged in the evaluation, acquisition,
exploration and advancement of gold, silver and copper projects in
the State of Sonora, Mexico and the Western United States, as well
as, the salvage of precious metals from identifiable sources.
2.GOING
CONCERN
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which
contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of
liabilities in the normal course of business. During the year ended
March 31, 2020, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,218,296 and
used cash in operating activities of $1,272,864, and at March 31,
2020, had an accumulated deficit of $32,345,668. At March 31, 2020,
the Company is in the exploration stage. These factors, among
others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern within one year of the date that the
financial statements are issued. The Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm, in their report on the Company’s
financial statements for the year ending March 31, 2020, expressed
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern.
The Company is
dependent upon outside financing to continue operations. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty. It is management’s
plans to raise necessary funds through a private placement of its
common stock to satisfy the capital requirements of the Company’s
business plan. There is no assurance that the Company will be able
to raise the necessary funds, or that if it is successful in
raising the necessary funds, that the Company will successfully
execute its business plan. The Company is unable to predict the
effect, if any, that the coronavirus COVID-19 global pandemic may
have on its access to the financing markets.
The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and/or
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern. The continuation as a going concern is
dependent upon the ability of the Company to meet our obligations
on a timely basis, and, ultimately to attain profitability.
3.SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is
presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated
financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and
notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is
responsible for their integrity and objectivity. Certain 2019
financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the financial statement presentation adopted in the current
year.
These accounting policies conform to accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and are
presented in U.S. dollars.
Basis of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and controlled subsidiaries, Mexus Gold Mining, S.A. de
C.V. (“Mexus Gold Mining), Mexus Enterprises S.A. de C.V. (“Mexus
Gold Enterprises”) and Mexus Gold MX S.A. DE C.V. (“Mexus Gold
MX”). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2020 and 2019
3.SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
Use of
Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from
those estimates. Management believes that the estimates used are
reasonable. The more significant estimates and assumptions by
management include, among others, the accrual of potential
liabilities, the assumptions used in valuing share-based
instruments issued for services, valuation of derivative
liabilities and the valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets.
Cash and
cash equivalents
The Company
considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a
maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Equipment
Equipment
consists of mining tools and equipment, watercraft and vehicles
which are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their expected
useful lives as follows (see Note 5):
Mining
tools and equipment7
years
Watercraft7
years
Vehicles3
years
Equipment
under Construction
Equipment
under construction comprises mining equipment that is currently
being fabricated and modified by the Company and is not presently
in use. Equipment under construction totaled $0 and $17,018 as of
March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Exploration
and Development Costs
Exploration
costs incurred in locating areas of potential mineralization or
evaluating properties or working interests with specific areas of
potential mineralization are expensed as incurred. Development
costs of proven mining properties not yet producing are capitalized
at cost and classified as capitalized exploration costs under
property, plant and equipment. Property holding costs are charged
to operations during the period if no significant exploration or
development activities are being conducted on the related
properties. Upon commencement of production, capitalized
exploration and development costs would be amortized based on the
estimated proven and probable reserves benefited. Properties
determined to be impaired or that are abandoned are written-down to
the estimated fair value. Carrying values do not necessarily
reflect present or future values.
Mineral
Property Rights
Costs of acquiring mining properties are capitalized upon
acquisition. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new
ore deposits, to expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine
areas substantially in advance of current production are also
capitalized once proven and probable reserves exist and the
property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to
maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby
basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are
charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates the
carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property and
equipment costs, to determine if these costs are in excess of their
recoverable amount whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Evaluation of the carrying value of capitalized costs and any
related property and equipment costs are based upon expected future
cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with
Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15, Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2020 and 2019
3.SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
Long-Lived
Assets
In accordance
with ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment the Company tests
long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or
changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may
not be recoverable. 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. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying
amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally
determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected
to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as
well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss
is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and
exceeds fair value.
Fair Value
of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
Included in
the ASC Topic 820 framework is a three level valuation inputs
hierarchy with Level 1 being inputs and transactions that can be
effectively fully observed by market participants spanning to Level
3 where estimates are unobservable by market participants outside
of the Company and must be estimated using assumptions developed by
the Company. The Company discloses the lowest level input
significant to each category of asset or liability valued within
the scope of ASC Topic 820 and the valuation method as exchange,
income or use. The Company uses inputs which are as observable as
possible and the methods most applicable to the specific situation
of each company or valued item.
The Company's
financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, accrued
liabilities, advances, notes payable, and a promissory note
payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments
approximate fair value due to either length of maturity or interest
rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise
disclosed in these financial statements.
Secured
convertible promissory note derivative liability is measured at
fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.
Interest rate
risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument might be
adversely affected by a change in the interest rates. The notes
payable, loans payable and secured convertible promissory notes
have fixed interest rates therefore the Company is exposed to
interest rate risk in that they could not benefit from a decrease
in market interest rates. In seeking to minimize the risks from
interest rate fluctuations, the Company manages exposure through
its normal operating and financing activities.
Derivative Instruments
Accounting
standards require that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position
and measure those instruments at fair value. A change in the market
value of the financial instrument is recognized as a gain or loss
in results of operations in the period of change.
Foreign
Currency Translation
The Company’s
functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies
are translated to United States dollars in accordance with ASC 740,
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.
To the extent
that the Company incurs transactions that are not denominated in
its functional currency, they are undertaken in Mexican Pesos. The
Company has not, as of the date of these financial statements,
entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign
currency fluctuations.

3.SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
Comprehensive Loss
ASC 220,
Comprehensive Income establishes standards for the reporting and
display of comprehensive loss and its components in the
consolidated financial statements. As at March 31, 2020 and 2019,
the Company had no items that represent a comprehensive loss, and
therefore has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the
consolidated financial statements.
Income
Taxes
The Company
accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in
accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Tax”. 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.
Asset
Retirement Obligations
In accordance
with accounting standards for asset retirement obligations (ASC
410), the Company records the fair value of a liability for an
asset retirement obligation (ARO) when there is a legal obligation
associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset and
the liability can be reasonably estimated. The associated asset
retirement costs are supposed to be capitalized as part of the
carrying amount of the related mineral properties. As of March 31,
2020 and 2019, the Company has not recorded AROs associated with
legal obligations to retire any of the Company’s mineral properties
as the settlement dates are not presently determinable.
Revenue
Recognition
In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer
obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of
revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to
be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The
provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which we
determine revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or
services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which we
expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC
606 requires us to apply the following steps: (1) identify the
contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance
obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price;
(4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations
in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, we satisfy
the performance obligation.
Stock-based
Compensation
The Company
records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in
ASC Topic 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses
related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This
eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions
using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such
transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The
Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded
vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.
ASC 505,
"Compensation-Stock Compensation", establishes standards for the
accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity
instruments to non-employees for goods or services. Under this
transition method, stock compensation expense includes compensation
expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after
January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in
accordance with the provisions of ASC 505.

3.SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES (CONTINUED)
Per Share
Data
Net loss per
common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted
average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by
Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, "Earnings per
Share". Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are
determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted
earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing
net income by the weighted average number of common shares and
dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when
common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not
considered in the computation.
At March 31,
2020 and 2019, we excluded the outstanding securities summarized
below, which entitle the holders thereof to acquire shares of

Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February
2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02
requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a
corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases
with terms longer than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for all
interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2018. Early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective
transition approach is required for lessees for capital and
operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning
of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial
statements, with certain practical expedients available. The
adoption of ASU 2016-02 on April 1, 2019 did not have a material
impact since the Company on the date of adoption had short-term
leases and elected not to apply the recognition requirement.
Other recent
accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB, including its
Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants, and the Securities and Exchange Commission did
not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on
the Company's present or future consolidated financial
statements.

4.MINERAL
PROPERTIES AND EXPLORATION COSTS (CONTINUED)
On May 19,
2016, Mexus entered into a new joint venture agreement to continue
the exploration program under the Exploration, Exploitation and
Mining Concessions Agreement (“Marmar Agreement”) with Marmar
Holdings SA de CV (“Marmar”) for the Santa Elena property (title
221448) and Marta Elena property (title 221447). The Marmar
Agreement requires Mexus to contribute its interest in the Santa

associated with operations and administration. Profits from net
revenues will be distributed 5% Mexus and 95% Marmar until Marmar
recovers its operating and administration costs. Thereafter, net
revenues with be distributed 50% Mexus and 50% Marmar.
On April 16,
2018, the Company announced that it terminated its joint venture
agreement with MarMar. The agreement outlined the contractual
obligations at the Santa Elena project in Caborca, Sonora State,
Mexico. The decision to terminate the agreement was made due to
MarMar’s lack of funding for the project, non-compliance with
various aspects of the agreement, and their inability to meet
environmental standards at the site. The Company intends to move
forward on the project with the proper equipment and
personnel.

PROMISSORY NOTES (CONTINUED)
Auctus
Fund, LLC
On December
19, 2019, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with Auctus Fund, LLC, (“Holder”) relating to the issuance and sale
of a Convertible Promissory Note (the “Note”) with an original
principal amount of $112,750 less an original issue discount of
$10,000 and transaction costs of $2,750 bearing a 12% annual
interest rate and maturing October 19, 2020 for $100,000 in cash.
The Company determined that upon issuance of the Note, the initial
fair value of the embedded conversion feature and warrant liability
was $110,475 which was recorded as a debt discount. After 180 days
after the issue date, the Note together with any unpaid accrued
interest is convertible into shares of common stock of the Company
at the Holder’s option at a variable conversion price calculated at
50% of the market price defined as the lowest trading price during
the twenty-five trading day period ending on the latest trading day
prior to the conversion date. The Company may prepay the Note in
cash, if repaid within 90 days of date of issue at 135% of the
original principal amount plus interest and between 90 days and 180
days at 150% of the original principal amount plus interest.
Thereafter, the Company does not have the right of prepayment. At
March 31, 2020, the Note is recorded at an accreted value of
$145,712 less unamortized debt discount of $61,924. Interest and
amortization of debt discount was $83,789 for the year ended March
31, 2020.

PROMISSORY NOTE DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
The
Convertible Promissory Notes (“Notes”) with Power Up Lending Group
Ltd., JSJ Investments Inc., Crown Bridge Partners, LLC and Auctus
Fund, LLC was accounted for under ASC 815. The variable conversion
price is not considered predominately based on a fixed monetary
amount settleable with a variable number of shares due to the
volatility and trading volume of the Company’s common stock. The
Company’s convertible promissory notes derivative liabilities has
been measured at fair value using the Black-Scholes model.

The inputs
into the Black-Scholes models are as follows:
The fair value
of the conversion option derivative liabilities is $486,663 and
$113,091 at March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in
the fair value of the conversion option derivative liability for
the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 of $270,281 and $151,533,
respectively, is recorded as a gain in the consolidated statements
of operations.
11.WARRANT
LIABILITY
In conjunction
with the issuance of the Convertible Promissory Note with Auctus
Fund, LLC (the “Note”) on December 19, 2019, the Company issued
10,000,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.005 and a term of
five years. The warrants are subject to down round and other
anti-dilution protections. The warrant is tainted and classified as
a liability as a result of the issuance of the Note since there is
a possibility during the life of the warrant the Company would not
have enough authorized shares available if the warrant is
exercised. The Company’s warrant liability has been measured at
fair value at December 19, 2019 and March 31, 2020 using the
Black-Scholes.

15.INCOME
TAXES
The Company had no income tax expense due to operating loss
incurred for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
United States
On December
22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the TCJA), which significantly
modified U.S. corporate income tax law, was signed into law by
President Trump. The TCJA contains significant changes to corporate
income taxation, including but not limited to the reduction of the
corporate income tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat
rate of 21%, limitation of the tax deduction for interest expense
to 30% of earnings (except for certain small businesses),
limitation of the deduction for net operating losses to 80% of
current year taxable income and generally eliminating net operating
loss carrybacks, allowing net operating losses to carryforward
without expiration, one-time taxation of offshore earnings at
reduced rates regardless of whether they are repatriated,
elimination of U.S. tax on foreign earnings (subject to certain
important exceptions), immediate deductions for certain new
investments instead of deductions for depreciation expense over
time, and modifying or repealing many business deductions and
credits (including changes to the orphan drug tax credit and
changes to the deductibility of research and experimental
expenditures that will be effective in the future). Notwithstanding
the reduction in the corporate income tax rate, the overall impact
of the new federal tax law is uncertain, including to what extent
various states will conform to the newly enacted federal tax
law.
The Company
has not recorded the necessary provisional adjustments in the
financial statements in accordance with its current understanding
of the TCJA and guidance currently available as of this filing. But
is reviewing the TCJA's potential ramifications.
On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus
Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act” (CARES Act or Act below).
(References to the Code below are references to the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Section references below are
references to sections of the Act.), provisions relevant to the
Company:
Section 2303. Modifications for net operating losses (NOL): Under
Code Section 172(a) the amount of the NOL deduction is equal to the
lesser of (a) the aggregate of the NOL carryovers to such year and
NOL carrybacks to such year, or (b) 80% of taxable income computed
without regard to the deduction allowable in this section. Thus,
NOLs are currently subject to a taxable-income limitation and
cannot fully offset income. The Act temporarily removes the taxable
income limitation to allow an NOL to fully offset income.
Section 2306. Modifications of limitation on business interest: The
2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) generally limited the
amount of business interest allowed as a deduction to 30% of
adjusted taxable income. The Act temporarily and retroactively
increases the limitation on the deductibility of interest expense
under Code Section 163(j)(1) from 30% to 50% for tax years
beginning in 2019 and 2020. (Code Section 163(j)(10)(A)(i) as
amended by Act Section 2306(a)).
The Company has not recorded the necessary provisional adjustments
in the financial statements in accordance with its current
understanding of the CARES Act and guidance currently available as
of this filing. But is reviewing the CARES Act potential
ramifications.
Mexico
Corporations
resident in Mexico are taxable on their worldwide income from all
sources, including profits from business and property. The Company
is subject to Mexico tax at a rate of 30% on taxable income, if
any, from Mexico operations. Subject to certain limitations, losses
incurred in prior years by a business may be carried forward and
deducted from income earned over a subsequent ten-year period. Net
operating loss carrybacks are not allowed.

We have a net
operating loss ("NOL") carry forward for U.S. income tax purposes
aggregating approximately $17.6M as of March 31, 2020 expiring
through the tax year 2038, subject to the Internal Revenue Code
Section 382/383, which places a limitation on the amount of taxable
income that can be offset by net operating losses after a change in
ownership. In addition, to U.S. NOL's, we have a Mexico NOL for our
Mexico operations as of March 31, 2020 of approximately $3.0M that
expires through 2030.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate
realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation
of future taxable income during the period in which those temporary
differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled
reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable
income and taxing strategies in making this assessment. In case the
deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods, the
Company has provided a valuation allowance for the full amount of
the deferred tax assets at March 31, 2020. The valuation allowance
increased by approximately $0.6 million as of March 31, 2020.
The expected tax expense (benefit) based on the U.S. federal
statutory rate is reconciled with actual tax expense (benefit) as
