SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

a. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern – The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024.

For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2023.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception. The Company does not have sufficient cash to fund normal operations and meet all of its obligations for the next 12 months without raising additional funds. In connection with the Merger described in Note 8 - Subsequent Events, the Company entered into a bridge financing with McEwen Mining Inc. pursuant to which McEwen has agreed to provide Loans totaling approximately $500,000 to fund the Company’s ongoing expenses through the closing. The closing of the Merger will allow the Company to exit the going concern condition as it becomes a subsidiary of McEwen Mining. If the Merger is not completed, all borrowed amounts will become due on October 15, 2024, or sooner in some circumstances. In that event, the Company will require additional financing in order to repay the borrowed amounts and obtain sufficient funds in order to continue as a going concern.

b. New Accounting Pronouncements –In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-05, Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, which clarifies the business combination accounting for joint venture formations. The amendments in the ASU seek to reduce diversity in practice that has resulted from a lack of authoritative guidance regarding the accounting for the formation of joint ventures in separate financial statements. The amendments also seek to clarify the initial measurement of joint venture net assets, including businesses contributed to a joint venture. The guidance is applicable to all entities involved in the formation of a joint venture. The amendments are effective for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption and retrospective application of the amendments are permitted. We do not expect adoption of the new guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 (“ASU 2023-07”), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, amending reportable segment disclosure requirements to include disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. Among the disclosure enhancements are new disclosures regarding significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, as well as other segment items bridging segment revenue to each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and are applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 (“ASU 2023-09”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures, amending income tax disclosure requirements for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and are applied prospectively. Early adoption and retrospective application of the amendments are permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

c. Principles of Consolidation – The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, BH Minerals USA, Inc.; Wolfpack Gold (Nevada) Corp.; Staccato Gold Resources, Ltd.; Lookout Mountain LLC, and Talapoosa Development Corp., after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.

d. Net Income (Loss) per Share – Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed as net income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities.

The dilutive effect of outstanding securities as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

	March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023
Stock options		5,935,000		6,335,000
Warrants		26,785,000		50,534,031
Total potential dilution		32,720,000		56,869,031

At March 31, 2024 and 2023, the effect of the Company’s common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.
