NEVADA CANYON GOLD CORP.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2023

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on February 27, 2014. On July 6, 2016, the Company changed its name from Tech Foundry Ventures, Inc. to Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. On December 15, 2021, the Company incorporated two subsidiaries, Nevada Canyon LLC and Canyon Carbon LLC. Both subsidiaries were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada. The Company is involved in acquiring and exploring mineral properties and royalty interests in Nevada and Idaho.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in a business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties and royalty interests and has not generated or realized any revenues from these business operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raises substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management intends to obtain additional funding by borrowing funds, and/or a private placement of common stock.

 

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). They do not include all information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K, as amended. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been made. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Earnings per Share

 

The Company’s basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding unvested portion of restricted stock with performance conditions.

 

7
 

 

The Company’s diluted EPS is calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Restricted stock with performance conditions is only included in the diluted EPS calculation to the extent that performance conditions have been met at the measurement date. Dilutive effect of the restricted stock is determined using the treasury stock method. Shares that have been distributed but not yet vested and thus excluded from the weighted average shares calculation, were 4,003,333 and 6,005,000 at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Company was formed with one class of common stock, $0.0001 par value and is authorized to issue 100,000,000 common shares and one class of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value and is authorized to issue 10,000,000 preferred shares. Voting rights are not cumulative and, therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the common stock could, if they chose to do so, elect all of the directors of the Company.

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized share-based compensation as follows:

Directors:

 

On December 30, 2021, the Company distributed a total of 6,005,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s directors (the “Director Shares”). The Director Shares are subject to the terms and conditions included in 3-year lock-up and vesting agreements (the “Lock-up Agreements”), which contemplate that the Director Shares will vest in equal annual installments over a 3-year term during which term the shareholders agreed not to sell, directly or indirectly, or enter into any other transactions involving the Company’s common shares regardless if the shares have vested or not.

 

The fair value of the shares was determined to be approximately $2,924,796 or $0.4938 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the issue date adjusted for the restrictions under the Lock-up Agreements. The shares vest over a three-year time period.

 

As stated above, the Company distributed all of the awarded shares prior to vesting. As at June 30, 2023, 2,001,667 shares have vested and 4,003,333 shares are unvested.

Officer – VP of Operations:

 

On February 24, 2023, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with the Company’s newly appointed Vice President of Operations (the “VP Agreement”). The Company agreed to issue 2,000,000 shares of its common stock for the services. The shares vest ratably over a two-year period, beginning March 1, 2023, and vested shares are distributed quarterly. The fair value of the shares was $1,400,000 or $0.70 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the date the service period began.

The fair value of the shares was $1,400,000 or $0.70 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the date the service period began.

During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $174,830 and $301,392 in amortization of debt discount on the Notes, respectively. The balance of the Notes at December 31, 2022 was $Nil as all of the notes were paid or converted into shares of the Company’s common stock during the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of Part I of this report include forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (collectively, the “Reform Act”). The Reform Act provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves so long as they identify these statements as forward-looking and provide meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ from the projected results. All statements, other than statements of historical fact that we make in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking. The words “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “will continue,” “estimates,” “plans,” “projects,” the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean the statement is not forward-looking.

 

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties or other factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. Certain risks, uncertainties or other important factors are detailed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and may be detailed from time to time in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including on Forms 8-K and 10-K.

 

Examples of forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our ability to generate operating cash flows and to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our future products, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include:

 

  management’s plans, objectives and budgets for its future operations and future economic performance;
  capital budget and future capital requirements;
  meeting future capital needs;
  our dependence on management and the need to recruit additional personnel;
  limited trading for our common stock;
  the level of future expenditures;
  impact of recent accounting pronouncements;
  the outcome of regulatory and litigation matters; and
  the assumptions described in this report underlying such forward-looking statements.

 

Actual results and developments may materially differ from those expressed in, or implied by, such statements due to a number of factors, including:

 

  those described in the context of such forward-looking statements;
  future product development and marketing costs;
  the markets of our domestic operations;
  the impact of competitive products and pricing;
  the political, social and economic climate in which we conduct operations; and
  the risk factors described in other documents and reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Offering Statement Pursuant to Regulation A (SEC File No. 000-55600).

 

We operate in an extremely competitive environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations and is provided as a supplement to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, “Company,” “the Company,” “us,” and “our” refer to Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Nevada Canyon LLC and Canyon Carbon LLC, incorporated in Nevada, unless the context requires otherwise.

 

We intend the following discussion to assist in the understanding of our financial position and our results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. You should refer to the Financial Statements and related Notes in conjunction with this discussion.

 

General

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on February 27, 2014. On December 15, 2021, we incorporated two subsidiaries, Nevada Canyon LLC and Canyon Carbon LLC. Both subsidiaries were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada.

 

We are a US-based natural resource company headquartered in Reno, Nevada. The Company has a large, strategic land position and royalties, in multiple projects, within some of Nevada’s highest-grade historical mining districts. As of the date of the filing of this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q our mineral property interests are comprised of the Lazy Claims Property, the Loman Property, and the Agai-Pah Property located in Mineral County, Nevada, the Swales Property located in Elko County, Nevada, and the Belshazzar Property located in Quartzburg mining district, Boise County, Idaho. In addition, we acquired a 2% net smelter returns royalty (“NSR”) on the Palmetto Project, located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, and have an option to acquire 100% interest of Target Minerals, Inc’s (“Target”) 1% production royalty on the Olinghouse Project, located in the Olinghouse Mining District, Washoe County, Nevada.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Our consolidated financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and are presented in US dollars. GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, together with notes thereto, which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our most recent audited consolidated financial statements on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Revenues

 

We had no revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Due to the exploration rather than the production nature of our business, we do not expect to have significant operating revenue in the foreseeable future.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our operating expenses for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 included general and administrative expenses, professional fees, director and officer compensation, consulting fees, and transfer agent and filing fees.

 

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, our operating expenses increased by $293,201 or 78%, to $670,646 as compared to $377,445 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This change was associated with $421,440 in director and officer compensation we recorded on the shares that we distributed to our three directors on December 30, 2021, and with the vesting of share awards we granted to our VP of Operations on February 24, 2023. During comparative three-month period ended June 30, 2022, we recorded $313,417 in director and officer compensation. Our consulting fees increased by $116,570, from $7,597 we incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, to $124,167 we incurred during the current period ended June 30, 2023, and which were associated with the vesting of shares awarded to consultants for their services in March 2023; our general and administrative expenses increased by $44,975, from $5,876 we incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, to $50,851 we incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023. This increase was associated with the investor outreach program we started in the second quarter of our Fiscal 2023. Our professional fees increased by $22,310, from $48,010 we incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, to $70,320 we incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023. The professional fees increased as a result of a consulting agreement with Warm Springs Consulting LLC. (“Warm Springs”) to develop registry-verified carbon credits for voluntary and compliance markets in the State of Nevada and the Western United States. Our transfer agent and filing fees increased by $1,323, from $2,545 we incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022, to $3,868 we incurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.

On a year-to-date basis, our operating expenses increased by $606,684 or 133%, to $1,063,474 as compared to $456,790 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This change was associated with $723,506 in director and officer compensation we recorded on the shares that we distributed to our three directors on December 30, 2021, and with the vesting of share awards we granted to our VP of Operations on February 24, 2023. During comparative six-month period ended June 30, 2022, we recorded $358,191 in director and officer compensation. Our consulting fees increased by $157,767, from $21,726 we incurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, to $179,493 we incurred during the current period ended June 30, 2023, and which were associated with the vesting of shares awarded to consultants for their services in March 2023; our general and administrative expenses increased by $64,824, from $10,741 we incurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, to $75,565 we incurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. This increase was associated with the investor outreach program we started in the second quarter of our Fiscal 2023. Our professional fees increased by $19,988, from $56,332 we incurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, to $76,320 we incurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. The professional fees increased as a result of the consulting agreement with Warm Springs to develop registry-verified carbon credits for voluntary and compliance markets in the State of Nevada and the Western United States. The above increases were in part offset by the transfer agent and filing fees, which decreased by $1,210, from $9,800 we incurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, to $8,590 we incurred during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

 

Other Income (Expenses)

 

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, we recognized $6,224 loss on fair value of investments in equity securities (2022 – $163,284). The loss resulted from revaluation of Walker River Resources Corp. (“WRR”) Shares and was caused mainly by decreased market price of WRR’s Shares from CAD$0.18 per share at March 31, 2023, to CAD$0.16 per share at June 30, 2023, and to a smaller degree from fluctuation of exchange rates between the US and Canadian dollars. We earned $7,321 in interest revenue (2022 - $827) and recorded $4 gain (2022 - $8,211 loss) on foreign exchange associated with the funds held in Canadian dollars.

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, we recognized $94,962 loss on fair value of investments in equity securities (2022 – $203,850 gain). The loss resulted from revaluation of WRR Shares and was caused mainly by decreased market price of WRR’s Shares from CAD$0.415 per share at December 31, 2022, to CAD$0.16 per share at June 30, 2023, and to a smaller degree from fluctuation of exchange rates between the US and Canadian dollars. We earned $13,813 in interest revenue (2022 - $888) and recorded $4 gain (2022 - $967 loss) on foreign exchange associated with the funds held in Canadian dollars.

 

During the comparative three-month period ended June 30, 2022, we recorded $56,325 loss on investments in equity securities which was associated with the sale of 500,000 WRR Shares for net proceeds of $219,763. In addition, we recorded $174,830 amortization of debt discount associated with the beneficial conversion we recognized on the convertible notes payable we issued in October of 2021. We did not have similar transactions during the three-month period ended June 30, 2023.

 

During the comparative six-month period ended June 30, 2022 we recorded $211,530 gain on equity investments which was associated with the sale of 1,171,083 WRR Shares for net proceeds of $614,658. In addition, we recorded $301,392 amortization of debt discount associated with the beneficial conversion we recognized on the convertible notes payable we issued in October of 2021. We did not have similar transactions during the six-month period ended June 30, 2023.

 

Net Loss

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred net loss of $669,545, as compared to net loss of $779,268 we generated during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022. This change mainly resulted from absence of sales of WRR Shares resulting in no realized loss or gain recorded on equity investments, as compared to $56,325 realized loss for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, and reduced fluctuation of WRR Share price which resulted in fair value loss of $6,224, as compared to $163,284 loss we recorded during the comparative period. In addition, since we converted October 2021 notes payable during the year ended December 31, 2022, there was no amortization of debt discount for the three-month period ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $174,830 loss in the comparative period. These decreases were in part offset by increased director and officer compensation of $421,440, which increased from $313,417 for the period ended June 30, 2022, an increase in consulting fees from $7,597 for the period ended June 30, 2022, to $124,167 for the period ended June 30, 2023, and an increase in professional fees from $48,010 for the period ended June 30, 2022, to $70,320 for the period ended June 30, 2023.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred net loss of $1,144,619, as compared to net loss of $342,881 we generated during the six-month period ended June 30, 2022. This change mainly resulted from absence of sales of WRR Shares resulting in no realized loss or gain recorded on equity investments to date in 2023, as compared to $211,530 realized gain for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, and reduced fluctuation of WRR Share price which resulted in fair value loss of $94,962, as compared to $203,850 gain we recorded during the comparative period. In addition, since we converted October 2021 notes payable during the year ended December 31, 2022, there was no amortization of debt discount for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $301,392 expense in the comparative period. These decreases were offset by increased director and officer compensation of $723,506, which increased from $358,191 for the period ended June 30, 2022, an increase in consulting fees from $21,726 for the period ended June 30, 2022, to $179,493 for the period ended June 30, 2023, and an increase in professional fees from $56,332 for the period ended June 30, 2022, to $76,320 for the period ended June 30, 2023.

Working capital deficit  $(520,742)  $(310,147)

 

As of June 30, 2023, we had a cash balance of $779,198 and working capital deficit of $520,742 with cash flows used in operations totaling $207,820 for the period then ended. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, our operations were funded with cash on hand, which was generated by selling our investment in WRR Shares during the year ended December 31, 2022, and from the issuance of convertible notes payable in October 2021. Our operating activities did not generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy our cash requirements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023. Due to the exploration rather than the production nature of our business, there is no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from our operations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from our operations to repay the amounts owing when due, we may be required to continue selling our equity investments in WRR or raise additional financing by borrowing funds or issuing our equity. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional capital.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we used $170,595 to cover our cash operating costs, which were determined by reducing the net loss of $1,144,619 the Company incurred during the period, by non-cash items included in the net loss of $974,024; we used $5,027 to increase our prepaid expenses, and $17,031 to reduce amounts due to our related parties. These uses of cash were further increased by $15,167 decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our net cash used in operating activities increased by $149,363, or 290%, to $200,902, compared with $51,539 for the comparative period in 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we used $97,711 to cover our cash operating costs, which were determined by reducing the net loss of $342,881 the Company incurred during the period, by non-cash items included in the net loss of $245,170; we used $12,104 to decrease our accounts payable and accrued liabilities, $27,000 to decrease amounts due to our related parties, and $21,182 to increase our prepaid expenses, of which $39,250 were associated with prepaid share issuance costs related to our offering of up to 12,500,000 units (the “Units”) of our securities pursuant to Regulation A. In additional $42,905 were used to pay interest accrued on a convertible note payable.

 

Adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in operating activities

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized $94,962 loss on revaluation of fair value of our investments in WRR Shares. In addition, we recognized $490,173 in director compensation associated with the par-value shares we distributed to our directors on December 30, 2021, $233,333 and $155,556 we recorded as the vesting of shares awarded to our VP of Operations and to our consultants, respectively, in accordance with the consulting agreements we executed in February of 2023.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $203,850 gain on revaluation of fair value of equity investments associated with WRR Shares and recorded $211,530 gain on sale of 1,171,083 WRR Shares for net proceeds of $614,658 (CAD$769,400). In addition, we recognized $967 loss on foreign exchange fluctuations associated with cash we held in high-interest savings account at a major Canadian bank, and recorded $301,392 in amortization of debt discount associated with the convertible notes payable we issued in October 2021. In addition, we recorded $358,191 in director compensation associated with the par-value shares we distributed to our directors on December 30, 2021.

 

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, we used $20,000 to make an option payment on our Swales Property, which we accrued in December of 2022.

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, we generated $614,658 on the sale of 1,171,083 WRR Shares. During the same period, we used $410,000 to acquire our mineral property interests.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, we did not generate any funds from our financing activities.

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, we received $400 from the sale of 4,000,000 par-value shares to two of our directors, which shares were considered distributed on December 30, 2021, however, we received cash payment from the directors subsequent to December 31, 2021.

 

Going Concern

 

At June 30, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $520,742 and cash on hand of $779,198, which is sufficient enough to support our current plan of operations for the next 12-month period. Our investments in equity securities include 511,750 WRR Shares valued at $61,843. We have been using WRR Shares and may continue using them as a source of additional cash inflow. Subsequent to June 30, 2023, we have received $323,911 in net subscriptions to 432,914 units of our common stock under the offering of up to 12,500,000 units (the “Units”) of our securities pursuant to Regulation A. To support our operations beyond the 12-month period we may require additional funds; therefore, we continue to actively pursue other means of financing our operations through equity and/or debt financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to procure funds sufficient to support our day-to-day operations and exploration programs. If operating difficulties or other factors (many of which are beyond our control) delay our realization of revenues or cash flows from operations, we may be limited in our ability to pursue our business plan. Moreover, if our resources from obtaining additional capital or cash flows from operations, once we commence them, do not satisfy our operational needs or if unexpected expenses arise due to unanticipated pressures or if we decide to expand our business plan beyond its currently anticipated level or otherwise, we will require additional financing to fund our operations, in addition to anticipated cash generated from our operations. Additional financing might not be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. If adequate funds were not available or were not available on acceptable terms, our ability to fund our operations, take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, develop or enhance our business or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would be significantly limited. In a worst-case scenario, we might not be able to fund our operations or to remain in business, which could result in a total loss of our stockholders’ investment. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders would be reduced, and these newly issued securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders.

Impact of Inflation

 

We believe that inflation has had a negligible effect on operations over the past fiscal quarter.

Use of Estimates

 

Areas where significant estimation judgments are made and where actual results could differ materially from these estimates are the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources and the classification of net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.

 

We evaluate impairment of our long-lived assets whenever there is an indication that carrying value of the long-lived asset may not be recoverable. We have not recognized any impairment charge on our long-lived assets during the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide information required by this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, there has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 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.

If travel occurs for reasons that are not related to performance of the Services, Client will reimburse WSC if WSC obtained prior written consent for reimbursement for the travel from Client (email being sufficient). For international travel, WSC’s request will include spending parameters. Domestic travel, including transportation, lodging, meals, and incidental expenses, shall be reimbursed by Client based on rates and guidance set forth by the US General Services Administration.

 

6.Out of Scope Services. Unless this Agreement is modified by mutual agreement, services outside the scope of the Services in Exhibit A that are requested by the Client in writing and which WSC agrees to perform in writing will be billed at the following rates: Partner rate is at $225/hr, Senior rate is $l75/hr, Mid rate is $l50/hr. WSC will inform Client if requested work is outside the scope of the Services prior to performance, although WSC may not necessarily be able to inform Client in advance of the total cost.

 

7.Additional Services. Client will also be given the opportunity to contract for additional services through WSC’s preparation of new scopes of work that may be attached as additional exhibits to this Agreement. WSC will prepare a Contract Modification which will specify the scope of work, pricing and timeframes. Additional Services will be subject to the contractual provisions contained herein upon written approval by Client.

 

8.Confidential & Proprietary Information. Except as provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all information disclosed by one Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”), shall be deemed to be confidential and proprietary (“Proprietary Information”).

Consulting Services Agreement  

 

8.1.The definition of Proprietary Information includes, but is not limited to marketing plans, sales proposals, products, services, vendors, training manuals, sales scripts, names of investors, donor information, fundraising information, business strategies, financial information, forecasts, personnel information, customer lists, operating procedures, pricing policies, strategic plans, intellectual property, and all information of third parties that Disclosing Party has an obligation to keep confidential, or individually identifiable information about an employee or contractor of a Disclosing Party, including but not limited to any individually identifiable health or financial information. The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that in any proceeding to enforce this Agreement it will be presumed that the Proprietary Information constitutes protectable trade secrets, and that the Receiving Party will bear the burden of proving that any portion of the Proprietary Information was publicly or rightfully known and disclosed by the Receiving Party. Other than as specifically provided herein, the Receiving Party shall make no disclosure of any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party without the express written consent of the Disclosing Party, unless the Receiving Party is required by applicable law, rule, regulation or lawful order or ruling of any court, government agency or regulatory commission to disclose any Proprietary Information. In that event, the Receiving Party understands that the Disclosing Party may desire to seek an appropriate protective order or take steps to protect the confidentiality of such Proprietary Information. Consequently, the Receiving Party agrees that it will provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such request(s) to disclose.

 

8.2.The definition of Proprietary Information excludes information that can be demonstrated as:

 

(a) previously known to the Receiving Party, (b) independently developed by the Receiving Party,

(c) acquired from a third party not under similar non-disclosure obligations to the Disclosing Party, or (d) acquired through the public domain through no breach by the Receiving Party of this Agreement.

 

8.3.Return or Destruction of Proprietary Information. At any time during, or after the termination of, this Agreement, at Disclosing Party’s written request, Receiving Party shall promptly return to disclosing Party all copies, whether in written, electronic, or other form or media, of disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information, or destroy all such copies and certify in writing to disclosing Party that such Proprietary Information has been destroyed.

 

9.Ownership of Materials. For the purposes of this Agreement, materials created by WSC (“WSC Materials”) shall be divided into three categories and ownership regulated as follows:

 

9.1.‘Category 1 Materials” are original materials, data, and similar documents created by WSC independent from the relationship with Client or prior to this Agreement, and all derivatives of such documents created by WSC. WSC shall retain all rights to all Category l Materials. WSC may use and modify Category l Materials for Client’s benefit, and Client shall obtain no rights to Category l Materials unless specifically granted rights from WSC in writing or in this Agreement.

Consulting Services Agreement  

 

9.2.‘Category 2 Materials” are original materials, data, and similar documents created by WSC during the term of this Agreement for the purpose of providing the Services that do not contain Proprietary Information disclosed by Client. WSC retains all rights to Category 2 Materials and grants Client an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free license to Category 2 Materials. WSC may leverage the experience gained in producing Category 2 Materials and use Category 2 Materials for any purpose, provided that, for a period of 3 years, WSC shall not use Category 2 Materials for the purposes of competing with or providing services to entities that are direct competitors of Client (this includes entities that are not yet competitors but seek to develop a similar business model to Canyon Carbon Corporation), unless Client provides prior written consent.

 

9.3.‘Category 3 Materials” are original materials, data, and similar documents created by WSC during the term of this Agreement that contain Proprietary Information disclosed by Client. WSC retains all rights to these Category 3 Materials and grants Client an irrevocable, perpetual, royalty-free license to Category 3 Materials, provided that WSC shall not use or modify Category 3 Materials for purposes outside the scope of this Agreement without prior written consent from Client.

 

9.4.Category Determination. WSC shall determine the characterization of WSC Materials as Category l Materials, Category 2 Materials, and Category 3 Materials and provide notice of such characterization to Client if Client requests. In the event that Client disputes WSC’s characterization, the parties shall implement the dispute resolution procedures in this Agreement.

 

9.5.License from Client. Client grants WSC a limited, non-transferable, nonexclusive license to copy, use, store, set up, publicly display, publicly perform and transmit any trade names, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, content, text, images, software, functionality, page and other design and layout, media and other materials owned by Client and shared with WSC in connection with providing the Services in accordance with this Agreement.

 

10.No Transfer of Rights, Title, or Interest. Unless provided otherwise in this Agreement, each Party hereby retains its entire right, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in and to all of its Proprietary Information. Any disclosure of Proprietary Information under this Agreement shall not be construed as an assignment, grant, option, license, or other transfer of any such right, title, or interest whatsoever to a receiving Party.

 

11.Portfolio Release. Client agrees that WSC has the right to use materials created pursuant to this Agreement for WSC’s portfolio, samples, self-promotion including advertising for WSC’s business including without limitation Facebook or Instagram, or any other social media platform with Client’s prior written consent. In the event Client wishes to exclude some specifc materials from the release under this paragraph, or to limit the time period of such release, WSC and Client may agree in writing to such limitation.

Consulting Services Agreement  

 

12.Data Security and Protection. WSC will maintain commercially reasonable safeguards against the destruction, loss or alteration of Client data in the possession or control of WSC (or its subcontractors). WSC will observe and comply with all applicable federal and state data privacy and data protection laws and regulations. In addition, Client will do the same for WSC. The Parties shall promptly notify each other if either becomes aware of any actual or suspected data violation (or charge or investigation). The Parties shall comply with governmental authorities in connection with such actual or suspected violation (or charge or investigation).

 

13.No Representations or Warranties. Each Party acknowledges that all Proprietary Information is provided on an “AS IS” basis. Disclosing Party does not make any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Proprietary Information disclosed to Receiving Party. Disclosing Party will not be liable to receiving Party relating to or resulting from receiving Party’s use of any of the Proprietary Information or any errors in or omissions from the Proprietary Information.

 

14.No Guarantee. WSC does not warrant or guarantee any specific level of performance or results other than the completion of the deliverables specified in this Agreement. Examples of results obtained for other clients of WSC may be used as a marketing tool and shown to Client for demonstrative purposes only and should not be construed by Client as indicating any promised results or level of results.

 

15.Remedies. The Parties acknowledge that the Proprietary Information exchanged is valuable and unique and that disclosure in breach of this Agreement will result in irreparable injury to the adversely affected Party, for which monetary damages, on their own, would be inadequate. Accordingly, the Parties agree the adversely affected Party shall have the right to seek an injunction enjoining any such breach or threatened breach of the Agreement.

 

16.Force majeure.

 

16.1.Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, “force majeure event” means, with respect to a party, any event or circumstance, whether or not foreseeable, that was not caused by that party, and any consequences of that event or circumstance.

 

16.2.Required conduct. If a force majeure event prevents a party from complying with any one or more obligations under this Agreement, that inability to comply will not constitute breach if: that party uses reasonable efforts to perform those obligations; and that party’s inability to perform those obligations is not due to its failure to (A) take reasonable measures to protect itself against events or circumstances of the same type as that force majeure event or (B) develop and maintain a reasonable contingency plan to respond to events or circumstances of the same type as that force majeure event; and that party complies with its obligations under this section.

 

16.3.Duty to notify and mitigate. If a force majeure event occurs, the noncomplying party shall promptly notify the other party of occurrence of that force majeure event, its effect on performance, and the expected duration of such effect. Thereafter the noncomplying party shall update that information as reasonably necessary. During a force majeure event, the noncomplying party shall use reasonable efforts to limit damages to the other party and to resume its performance under this Agreement

17.Assignment. This Agreement may not be transferred or assigned by WSC to any other party without the written consent of Client.

 

18.Third Parties. There are no third party beneficiaries under this Agreement.

 

19.Limitation of Liability and Insurance. WSC maintains liability insurance of at least $l million and will maintain such insurance in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement. WSC shall not be liable for any incidental, consequential, indirect or special damages, or for any loss of profits or business interruptions caused or alleged to have been caused by the performance or nonperformance of the Services. Client agrees that, in the event WSC is determined to be liable for any such loss, Client’s sole remedy against WSC is limited to a refund of payments made by Client for said Services, less expenses paid to subcontractors or to third parties. WSC is not responsible for errors which result from faulty or incomplete information supplied to WSC by Client. Client also agrees to not seek damages in excess of the contractually agreed upon limitations directly or indirectly through suits by or against other parties. WSC shall not be liable to Client for any costs, damages or delays due to causes beyond its control, expressly including without limitation, unknown site characteristics, changes in policies, or changes in terms of services. The limitations of liability in this Section do not apply if WSC is found to have engaged in gross negligence.

 

20.Dispute Resolution. In the case of disputes, the Parties shall strive to come into alignment using reasonable, respectful, good-faith communication. The Parties agree to participate in voluntary mediation or similar form of conflict resolution (and share the costs equally) before initiating any civil action for breach or other cause of action in a court of law, provided that either party may seek an injunction against disclosure of Proprietary Information prior to mediation if in such party’s judgment such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage.

Exhibit A - Scope of Work Proposal

 

March 23, 2023

 

Dear Jeffrey Cocks and Nevada Canyon Gold,

 

Our team at Warm Springs Consulting LLC (WSC) is pleased to submit this proposal to continue our collaboration with Nevada Canyon in Carbon Credit Development Business Planning and Feasibility Analysis. This is the second phase of the project with Nevada Canyon (started in March 2022) to explore the feasibility of developing registry-verified carbon credits for both voluntary and compliance markets within the state of Nevada and the Western US.

 

We propose a nine-month engagement, starting March 24, 2023, extending through the end of the year. The scope of work is summarized below and detailed on the following pages. The project scope will not exceed the amount summarized in the table below. The project will be billed monthly according to work performed - with all hours billed to a specific task and tracked in 15-minute intervals.

 

As part of this scope WSC will apply for grants which may cover some of these costs. Grant funding is not guaranteed. However, should grant funding be received by WSC to cover a portion of this scope of work, WSC will not bill for that work. Also, if it is deemed not necessary to perform a task within the scope of work, WSC will not bill for that task. WSC will kick the project off upon the signing of a project agreement. To accept this agreement, please sign the contract and return promptly.

 

Led by WSC Partner, Amber Bieg, our team of consultants are excited to continue this project together.Thank you for the opportunity to support Nevada Canyon Gold in pursuing this opportunity.

 

Sincerely,

 

/s/ Amber Bieg

NATURE OF BUSINESS

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on February 27, 2014. On July 6, 2016, the Company changed its name from Tech Foundry Ventures, Inc. to Nevada Canyon Gold Corp. On December 15, 2021, the Company incorporated two subsidiaries, Nevada Canyon LLC and Canyon Carbon LLC. Both subsidiaries were incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada. The Company is involved in acquiring and exploring mineral properties and royalty interests in Nevada and Idaho.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company is in a business of acquiring and exploring mineral properties and royalty interests and has not generated or realized any revenues from these business operations. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

 

The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with any certainty at this time and raises substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management intends to obtain additional funding by borrowing funds, and/or a private placement of common stock.

Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with those consolidated financial statements included in Form 10-K, as amended.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Earnings per Share

 

The Company’s basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding unvested portion of restricted stock with performance conditions.

 

 

The Company’s diluted EPS is calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Restricted stock with performance conditions is only included in the diluted EPS calculation to the extent that performance conditions have been met at the measurement date. Dilutive effect of the restricted stock is determined using the treasury stock method. Shares that have been distributed but not yet vested and thus excluded from the weighted average shares calculation, were 4,003,333 and 6,005,000 at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Directors:

 

On December 30, 2021, the Company distributed a total of 6,005,000 shares of common stock to the Company’s directors (the “Director Shares”). The Director Shares are subject to the terms and conditions included in 3-year lock-up and vesting agreements (the “Lock-up Agreements”), which contemplate that the Director Shares will vest in equal annual installments over a 3-year term during which term the shareholders agreed not to sell, directly or indirectly, or enter into any other transactions involving the Company’s common shares regardless if the shares have vested or not.

 

The fair value of the shares was determined to be approximately $2,924,796 or $0.4938 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the issue date adjusted for the restrictions under the Lock-up Agreements. The shares vest over a three-year time period.

The shares vest ratably over a two-year period, beginning March 1, 2023, and vested shares are distributed quarterly. The fair value of the shares was $1,400,000 or $0.70 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the date the service period began.

 

As of June 30, 2023, the shares vested under the VP Agreement but not yet distributed totaled 333,333. These shares were issued on July 5, 2023. Unvested compensation related to the Shares to be issued under the VP Agreement of $1,166,667 will be recognized over the next 1.67 years.

 

 

Consultants:

 

On February 24, 2023, the Company entered into two separate consulting agreements with consultants (the “Consulting Agreements”) in exchange for a total of 2,000,000 shares of its common stock. All shares vest ratably over a three-year period, beginning March 1, 2023, and vested shares are distributed quarterly. The fair value of the shares was $1,400,000 or $0.70 per share based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the date the service period began.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Earnings per Share

Earnings per Share

 

The Company’s basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding unvested portion of restricted stock with performance conditions.

 

 

The Company’s diluted EPS is calculated by dividing its net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. Restricted stock with performance conditions is only included in the diluted EPS calculation to the extent that performance conditions have been met at the measurement date. Dilutive effect of the restricted stock is determined using the treasury stock method. Shares that have been distributed but not yet vested and thus excluded from the weighted average shares calculation, were 4,003,333 and 6,005,000 at June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
