Corporate History; Change in Control
The CompanyYuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation (f/k/a Aureus Incorporated) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 19, 2013.
On September 30, 2015, The Company was organized to develop and explore mineral properties in the Company, Dong Gu Kang and Min Jung Kang, the principal stockholdersState of the Company (the “Selling Stockholders”), and Maverick, LLC, a Nevis limited liability company (“Maverick”), entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which Maverick purchased an aggregate of 90,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company from the Selling Stockholders in consideration for $0.001 per share, for a total purchase price of $6,000. The Shares represent approximately 71.17% of the 126,450,000 outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, and the transaction constituted a change in control of the Company. Maverick purchased the Shares by issuing each Selling Stockholder a non-interest bearing promissory note for his pro rata portion of the Shares. Both promissory notes are unsecured, mature December 30, 2016 and may be prepaid without penalty. Ester Barrios is the Managing Member of Maverick has voting and dispositive control over these securities.
In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company, Selling Stockholders and Maverick entered into a debt assumption agreement (the “Debt Assumption Agreement”) pursuant to which Maverick assumed an aggregate of $24,656 in outstanding debt owed the Selling Stockholders by the Company; constituting 100% of the debt owed the Selling Stockholders of the Company.
The Stock Purchase Agreement and Debt Assumption Agreement contained customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Selling Stockholders, Maverick and the Company.
On September 17, 2015, the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company increased the size of the Board to three persons and appointed Mr. Tracy Fortner to fill the created vacancy. Directors serve for a period of one year until the next stockholders’ meeting and until their respective successor is elected and qualifies.
On September 17, 2015, Dong Gu Kang and Min Jung Kang resigned from the board of directors and as executive officers of the Company, effective immediately. Dong Gu Kang had been serving as the President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary of the Company. Min Jung Kang had been serving as the Treasurer of the Company. Their respective departures were not related to any issues regarding financial disclosures or accounting or legal matters.
On September 17, 2015, the Board appointed Tracy Fortner as the President, Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.
On November 25, 2015, we effected a fifteen-for-one (15:1) forward stock split (the “Forward Split”) of the Company’s common stock, without changing the authorized number or par value of the Common Stock and with fractional shares resulting from the Forward Split being rounded up to the nearest whole number. As a result of the Forward Split, the number of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock was increased from 8,430,000 to 126,450,000. Unless noted otherwise, all share amounts in this Annual Report reflect the Forward Split.
Overview
We are a startup mining exploration company without mining operations. Since our inception, we have not generated any revenues and at October 31, 2015, our net losses were $76,094. In their audit report included in this Annual Report, our auditors have expressed their doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. To date, we have funded our operations by issuing equity and debt and our lack of capital has delayed the implementation of our business plan. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain such capital on sufficient terms, if at all.
Nevada. On October 1, 2014, wethe Company entered into a Purchase Agreement and paid a total depositwith Gold Exploration Management Services, Inc. (“Gold Exploration”) pursuant to which the Company purchased 100% of $15,000 for the Gold Creek Property comprising ofGold’s Exploration’s interest in one claim block of 11 claims or 220 acres, in Elko County, Nevada (the “Property”). The Property can be accessed via Nevada State Route #225 connecting to county road USFS Road #745) which provide access to the immediately adjacent Gold“Gold Creek Ranger Station. The nearest commercial airport is in Reno, approximately 260 road miles from the Property. The Gold Creek Property Agreement was entered intoProperty”) for the sum of $15,000, for a 100% interest in the Property.$15,000. The claims were registered in the name of Gold Exploration Management Services, Inc. (“Gold Exploration”).Exploration. On August 31, 2015, Gold Exploration’s title to the mining claims on the Gold Creek Property expired but has been re-staked by the Company. Due toIn September 2015, the Bureau of Land Freeze (as defined below) by the ILLM in 2015 ofManagement (“BLM”) imposed a prohibition on mining activities on 10 million acres of public and National Forest System lands identified as Sagebrush Focal AreasLands, including the Gold Creek Property, in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming from location and entry under the United States mining laws to protect the greater sage-grouse, Gold Creek’s title to the mining claims on the Property were not able to be transferred into the Company’s name. The Company anticipates once the Land Freeze is lifted, of which there can be no assurances, Gold Exploration will apply to renew the claims and at that point the claims are expected to be transferred to the Company. There can be no assurances that the Land Freeze will be lifted or that if lifted, we will have sufficient funds to have the mining claims transferred into the Company’s name.
On October 1, 2014, we entered into an agreement with Gold Exploration Management Services, Inc. to provide us with a summary report about the mining claims, describes the mining claims, the regional geology, the mineral potential of the claim and recommendations how we should explore the claim.
Land Freeze – Force Majeure
As discussed more fully below under “Government Regulations and Regulations – Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation,” commencing in 2010, there has been heightened awareness of the conservation of the greater sage-grouse, the largest grouse found in North America currently inhabiting the sage-steppe ecosystems in Montana, southern Idaho, northeastern California, eastern Oregon, northwestern Colorado, and broader sections of Wyoming, Utah and Nevada.
In 2014, Nevada adopted the Nevada Greater Sage-grouse Conservation Plan of 2014 (“2014 State Plan”), a sage-grouse conservation plan which provides broad goals, objectives, and management actions to ameliorate the primary threats to sage-grouse in Nevada. Nevada is also in the process of developing a Nevada Sage-Grouse Strategic Action Plan (“SAP”) which is expected to into greater detail and identify areas to focus conservation efforts in order to achieve the broad goals and objectives outlined in the 2014 State Plan.
Also, on September 23, 2015, the Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Land and Minerals Management (“ILLM”) approved an application to withdraw (i.e., prohibiting mining) approximately 10 million acres of public and National Forest System lands identified as Sagebrush Focal Areas in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming from location and entry under the United States mining laws to protect the greater sage-grouse and its habitat from adverse effects of locatable mineral exploration and mining activities, subject to valid existing rights (the “Land Freeze”). Comments on the proposed withdrawal application or scoping comments on issues to be analyzed in the Environmental Impact Statement must have been received by December 23, 2015.
The Company’s Property is included in the approximately 10 million acres of land currently closed for mining exploration under the Land Freeze by the ILLM and being studied by Nevada in connection with SAP. Therefore, under this force majeure event, the Company is currently prohibited from conducting any mining activities on the Property and, depending on the outcomes of the ILLM’s Environmental Impact Statement and Nevada’s SAP, the Company may be permanently prohibited or restricted from conducting any activities on the Property. The Company intends, however, to pursue potential acquisitions of other land on which it may conduct mining activities. The Company is not currently a party to any oral or written agreement to purchase any land at this point in time.
If and when we are permitted to conduct exploration activities on the Property, of which there can be no assurances, or any additional land we acquire, our goal is to assess whether our claim or claims possess any commercially viable mineral deposits by a four phase program.
Also, the Property is not, and any claims we may acquire will not be, accessible all year round. There are periods where our claims may be un-accessible each year due to snow in the area. This means that our exploration activities may be limited to a period of about eight to nine months per year.
The following table summarizes the four phases of our anticipated exploration program on the Property and any claims we may acquire (assuming we are permitted to conduct mining activities).
| Phase: | Planned Exploration Activities: | Estimated Cost: | ||||
| PHASE I | Preliminary Surface Sampling, Geological and Geochemical Screening. | $ | 9,500 | |||
| PHASE II | Detailed Evaluation, Geological Mapping, Site Prep, additional sampling | $ | 27,500 | |||
| PHASE III | Permitting and site preparation: drilling and environmental reclamation | $ | 67,144 | |||
| PHASE IV | Permitting and site preparation: drilling and environmental reclamation | $ | 248,930 | |||
| TOTAL: | $ | 353,074.00 | ||||
If our exploration activities indicate that there are no commercially viable mineral deposits on our mining claims, we will abandon the claims and stake or acquire new claims to explore. We will continue to stake and explore claims as long as we can afford to do so.
Important Note: The following disclosure discusses the Property we placed a deposit on in October 2014 and assumes that we will be permitted to conduct exploration activities there, of which there can be no assurances. See “Land Freeze – Force Majeure” and “Risk Factors -Due to the Land Freeze, we are currently prohibited from conducting any activities on the Property, our sole asset” and “DueCompany has not been able to the Land Freeze on the Property in 2015, we have been unable have the title to the mining claims on theGold Creek Property transferred into the Company’s name.”
Location and Means of Access to Our Mining Claims
The Island Mountain Mining District, in which the Gold Creek prospect lies, occupies an area of about 22 square km in the northern portion of the Independence Mountain Range, 60 miles (97 km) north of Elko, Nevada, along Nevada State Route #225 connecting to county road USFS Road #745) which provide access to the immediately adjacent Gold Creek Ranger Station.
Mining Claim Description
The Gold Creek Property mining claims are currently expired and we hope to renew these claims if and when the land freeze is lifted. There are no third party conditions which affect the claims other than conditions defined by the State of Nevada as described below. The Property covers an area of 220 acres. We did not have insurance covering the claims. We believe that no insurance is necessary since the claims are unimproved and contain no buildingsname or improvements and contains no infrastructure on the claims. The claim numbers, previous registered owner number, expiration date, number of units, and work requirement as typically recorded in the State of Nevada is as follows:
| Claim Number | Previous Registered Owner | Due Date | Number of Claims | Renewal Requirement | ||||||||
| GC 1-11 | Gold Exploration Management Services, Inc. (100%) | 2015-Aug-31 | 11 | $ | 2,175 | |||||||
| BLM Claim Numbers | 1. NMCI083890 7. NMC1083896 | 2015- Aug- 2015 | 11 | 2,175 | ||||||||
The Gold Creek Property is located approximately 60 miles (97 km) North of Elko, Nevada, and 260 miles (418 km) northeast of Reno, Nevada, in the Island Mountain Mining District, the GPS coordinates are LATITUDE 41º 30’ 00” N and LONGITUDE 115º 43’ 00” W. The Property lies between 6,000 and 6,700 feet in elevation in a mountainous but not steeply rugged area. The land is administered by the United States Bureau of Land Management and the National Forest Service. Some adjoining areas are covered by other active mining claims. The land is used primarily for free range grazing and limited recreation but numerous major mines exist within 50 miles of the site and mining is an important part of the local culture.
There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the Property. Exploration will be required before an evaluation as to the economic feasibility of the claim can be determined. It is our intention to record the deed of ownership in the name of Aureus Incorporated. Until we can validate otherwise, the Property is without known reserves and we have planned a four phase exploration program as recommended by our consulting geologist. We have not commenced any exploration or work on the claim and as discussed herein, are prohibited from doing so in connection with the federal and state conservation studies and activities in connection with the greater sage-grouse.
Conditions to Retain Title the Mining Claim
In order to retain title to the mining claims, we are required to renew the claims on an annual basis and pay fees. The title of the mining claims on the Property were previously registered in the name of Gold Exploration Management Services, Inc. (“Gold Exploration”). On August 31, 2015, Gold Exploration’s title to the mining claims on the Property expired but has been re-staked by the Company. Due to the Land Freeze by the ILLM in 2015 to protect the greater sage-grouse, Gold Exploration’s title to the mining claims on the Property were not able to be transferred into the Company’s name. The Company anticipates once the Land Freeze is lifted, Gold Exploration will apply to renew the claims and at that point the claims are expected to be transferred to the Company. There can be no assurances that the Land Freeze will be lifted or that if lifted, we will have sufficient funds to have the mining claims transferred into the Company’s name.
Geology of the Mining Claims
The geology of the Property is documented in mapping reported by Coash (1967) and Bushnell (1967) with refined stratigraphic work and age dates by Ketner, 2005. The Property is underlain by sheared, variably silicified and decalcified distal carbonate turbidities of the Tennessee Mountain Formation of Cambrian to Ordovician age (438 to 500 million years). These rocks are the footwall of major regional thrust faults which placed Pennsylvanian age Havallasequence (280 to 360 million years) and Upper Pennsylvanian Hammond Canyon and Sunflower Formations (280 to 248 million years). These rocks are intruded by the Cretaceous Coffeepot granitoid stock which is the center of extensive mineralizing activity including contact metasomatic and replacement deposits and probably the other major prospects in progressively lower temperature zones and varied host chemistry in a broad halo.
It is significant also that the smaller Gold Creek Pluton 1.5 km west of the Property has been successful explored by Gateway Gold in its Coleman Creek property. The host rocks of interest at Gold Creek are the Sunflower and Hammond Canyon Formations, which are silty and locally cherty carbonate rocks affected by intense faulting, fracturing and alteration. The target at Coleman Creek is gold in veins, skarn, hornfels, fractured diorite and jasperoid. These are proximal to the diorite stock, and the operative model in this proposal is delineation of disseminated gold in the altered and receptive siliceous carbonate units more distal from the intrusive heat sources.
The subject claims are not covered by the younger volcanic rocks noted in the regional overview. Consequently, the area is suitable for low cost, low impact Phase I studies.
Competitive Conditions
The mineral exploration business is an extremely competitive industry. We are competing with many other exploration companies looking for minerals. We are one of the smallest exploration companies and a very small participant in the mineral exploration business. Being a junior mineral exploration company, we compete with other companies like ours for financing and joint venture partners. Additionally, we compete for resources such as professional geologists, camp staff, helicopters and mineral exploration supplies.
Dependence on Major Customers
We have no customers.
Intellectual Property and Agreements
We have no intellectual property such as patents or trademarks. Additionally, we have no royalty agreements or labor contracts.
Government Approvals and Regulations
Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation
In March 2010, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (“USFWS”) submitted a finding of “warranted for listing but precluded by higher priorities” with regard to the greater sage-grouse, the largest grouse found in North America currently inhabiting the sage-steppe ecosystems in Montana, southern Idaho, northeastern California, eastern Oregon, northwestern Colorado, and broader sections of Wyoming, Utah and Nevada. The USFWS finding that listing is “warranted but precluded” results in recognition of the greater sage-grouse as a candidate for listing as a threatened or endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (the “ESA”). The USFWS later entered into a court settlement with several environmental groups, which included a schedule for making listing determinations on over 200 candidate species, including the sage-grouse. In compliance with the consent decree, on September 22, 2015, the USFWS issued a decision that the species did not warrant listing as an endangered species under the ESA. The USFWS reached this determination after evaluating the species’ population status, along with the collective efforts by The Bureau of Land Management (the “BLM”) and the U.S. Forest Service (the “USFS”), state agencies, private landowners and other partners to conserve its habitat.
In connection with aforementioned-efforts, in 2014, Nevada adopted the Nevada Greater Sage-grouse Conservation Plan of 2014 (“2014 State Plan”), a sage-grouse conservation plan specific to Nevada. The 2014 State Plan provides broad goals, objectives, and management actions to ameliorate the primary threats to sage-grouse in Nevada and requires that any development that affects a greater sage-grouse habitat in Nevada will need to acquire credits to compensate for the effects before the development proceeds. In addition to the 2014 State Plan, Nevada is in the process of developing a Nevada Sage-Grouse Strategic Action Plan (“SAP”). The SAP will be a companion document to the 2014 State Plan and will go into greater detail and identify areas to focus conservation efforts in order to achieve the broad goals and objectives outlined in the 2014 State Plan. The SAP will identify where the primary threats to sage-grouse habitat are located across the landscape and provide specific guidance on how to ameliorate these threats based on local area conditions, resistance and resilience regimes, and ecological site descriptions.
On September 23, 2015, the Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Land and Minerals Management (“ILLM”) approved an application to withdraw (i.e., close for mining) approximately 10 million acres of public and National Forest System lands identified as Sagebrush Focal Areas in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming from location and entry under the United States mining laws to protect the greater sage-grouse and its habitat from adverse effects of locatable mineral exploration and mining, subject to valid existing rights (the “Land Freeze”). Comments on the proposed withdrawal application or scoping comments on issues to be analyzed in the Environmental Impact Statement must have been received by December 23, 2015. The Company’s Property is included in the Land Freeze. Therefore, due the Land Freeze, of which the Company has no control and was not foreseeable (i.e., force majeure), the Company is currently prohibited from conducting any mining activities on the Property and, depending on the outcomes of the ILLM’s Environmental Impact Statement and Nevada’s SAP, the Company may be permanently prohibited or restricted from conducting any activities on the Property. The Company intends, however, to pursue potential acquisitions of other land on which it may conduct mining activities. The Company is not currently a party to any oral or written agreement to purchase any land at this point in time.
Federal land management agencies, including the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, may impose additional restrictions and mitigation obligations on development activities occurring on federal lands, which could also adversely impact our business.
Mining Control and Reclamation Regulations
The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (“SMCRA”) is administered by the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (“OSM”) and establishes mining, environmental protection and reclamation standards for all aspects of U.S. surface mining, as well as many aspects of underground mining. Mine operators must obtain SMCRA permits and permit renewals for mining operations from the OSM. Although state regulatory agencies have adopted federal mining programs under SMCRA, the state becomes the regulatory authority. States in which we expect to have active future mining operations have achieved primary control of enforcement through federal authorization.
SMCRA permit provisions include requirements for prospecting including mine plan development, topsoil removal, storage and replacement, selective handling of overburden materials, mine pit backfilling and grading, protection of the hydrologic balance, subsidence control for underground mines, surface drainage control, mine drainage and mine discharge control and treatment and re-vegetation.
The U.S. mining permit application process is initiated by collecting baseline data to adequately characterize the pre-mining environmental condition of the permit area. We will develop mine and reclamation plans by utilizing this geologic data and incorporating elements of the environmental data. Our mine and reclamation plans incorporate the provisions of SMCRA, state programs and complementary environmental programs which impact mining. Also included in the permit application are documents defining ownership and agreements pertaining to minerals, oil and gas, water rights, rights of way and surface land and documents required of the OSM’s Applicant Violator System, including the mining and compliance history of officers, directors and principal stockholders of the applicant.
Once a permit application is prepared and submitted to the regulatory agency, it goes through a completeness and technical review. Public notice of the proposed permit is given for a comment period before a permit can be issued. Some SMCRA mine permit applications take over a year to prepare, depending on the size and complexity of the mine and often take six months to two years to be issued. Regulatory authorities have considerable discretion in the timing of the permit issuance and the public has the right to comment on, and otherwise engage in, the permitting process including public hearings and intervention by the courts.
Surface Disturbance
All mining activities governed by the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) require reasonable reclamation. The lowest level of mining activity, “casual use,” is designed for the miner or weekend prospector who creates only negligible surface disturbance (for example, activities that do not involve the use of earth-moving equipment or explosives may be considered casual use). These activities would not require either a notice of intent to operate or a plan of operation.
The second level of activity, where surface disturbance is 5 acres or less per year, requires a notice advising the BLM of the anticipated work 15 days prior to commencement. This notice must be filed with the appropriate field office. No approval is needed although bonding is required. State agencies must be notified to ensure all requirements are met.
For operations involving more than 5 acres’ total surface disturbance on lands subject to 43 CFR 3809, a detailed plan of operation must be filed with the appropriate BLM field office.Bonding is required to ensure proper reclamation. An Environmental Assessment (EA) is to be prepared for all plans of operation to determine if an Environmental Impact Statement is required. A National Environmental Policy Act review is not required for casual use or notice level operations unless those operations involve occupancy as defined by 43 CFR 3715. Most occupancies at the casual use and notice level in Arizona are covered by a programmatic EA.
An activity permit is required when use of equipment is utilized for the purpose of land stripping, earthmoving, blasting (except blasting associated with an individual source permit issued for mining), trenching or road construction.
Future legislation and regulations are expected to become increasingly restrictive and there may be more rigorous enforcement of existing and future laws and regulations and we may experience substantial increases in equipment and operating costs and may experience delays, interruptions or termination of operations. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal fines or penalties, the acceleration of cleanup and site restoration costs, the issuance of injunctions to limit or cease operations and the suspension or revocation of permits and other enforcement measures that could have the effect of limiting production from our future operations.
Trespassing
The BLM will prevent abuse of public lands while recognizing valid rights and uses under the mining laws. The BLM will take appropriate action to eliminate invalid uses, including unauthorized residential occupancy. The Interior Board of Land Appeals (IBLA) has found that a claim may be declared void by the BLM when it has been located and held for purposes other than the mining of minerals. The issuance of a notice of trespass may occur if an unpatented claim/site is:
Trespass actions are taken by the BLM Field Office.
Environmental Laws
We currently have no costs to comply with environmental laws concerning our exploration program. However, during Phase II, we anticipate that we be subject to various federal and state environmental laws and regulations that will impose significant requirements on our operations. The cost of complying with current and future environmental laws and regulations and our liabilities arising from past or future releases of, or exposure to, hazardous substances, may adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, environmental laws and regulations, particularly relating to air emissions, can reduce our profitability. Numerous federal and state governmental permits and approvals are required for mining operations. When we apply for these permits or approvals, we may be required to prepare and present to federal or state authorities data pertaining to the effect or impact that a proposed exploration for, or production or processing of, may have on the environment. Compliance with these requirements can be costly and time-consuming and can delay exploration or production operations. A failure to obtain or comply with permits could result in significant fines and penalties and could adversely affect the issuance of other permits for which we may apply.
Clean Water Act
The U.S. Clean Water Act and corresponding state and local laws and regulations affect mining operations by restricting the discharge of pollutants, including dredged or fill materials, into waters of the United States. The Clean Water Act provisions and associated state and federal regulations are complex and subject to amendments, legal challenges and changes in implementation. As a result of court decisions and regulatory actions, permitting requirements have increased and could continue to increase the cost and time we expend on compliance with water pollution regulations. These and other regulatory requirements, which have the potential to change due to legal challenges, Congressional actions and other developments increase the cost of, or could even prohibit, certain current or future mining operations. Our operations may not always be able to remain in full compliance with all Clean Water Act obligations and permit requirements. As a result, we may be subject to compliance orders and private party litigation seeking fines, penalties or changes to our operations.
Clean Water Act requirements that may affect our operations include the following:

Section 404 of the Clean Water Act requires mining companies to obtain U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (“ACOE”) permits to place material in streams for the purpose of creating slurry ponds, water impoundments, refuse areas, valley fills or other mining activities.
Our construction and mining activities, including our surface mining operations, will frequently require Section 404 permits. ACOE issues two types of permits pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act: nationwide (or “general”) and “individual” permits. Nationwide permits are issued to streamline the permitting process for dredging and filling activities that have minimal adverse environmental impacts. An individual permit typically requires a more comprehensive application process, including public notice and comment, however an individual permit can be issued for ten years (and may be extended thereafter upon application).
The issuance of permits to construct valley fills and refuse impoundments under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, whether general permits commonly described as the Nationwide Permit 21 (NWP 21) or individual permits, has been the subject of many recent court cases and increased regulatory oversight. The results may materially increase our permitting and operating costs, permitting delays, suspension of current operations and/or prevention of opening new mines.
Exploration Expenditures
As of October 31, 2015 we have not made expenditures in regard to the actual exploration of the mining claims, other than spending $15,000 for our claims deposit, geological report and other staking and holding costs.
Employees
We do not have any employees other than our sole officer and director, Tracy Fortner. Mr. Fortner works for the Company’s business on a part-time basis. We intend to retain the services of independent geologists and engineers on a contract basis to conduct the exploration programany activities on the Gold Creek Property.
ResearchOn July 21, 2016, the Company entered into that certain Purchase Agreement (the “MMLH Purchase Agreement”) with Montana Mine Land Holdings LLC, a Montana limited liability company wholly-owned by Tracy Fortner (“MMLH”) pursuant to which the Company acquired a 100% undivided interest on MMLH’s patented mining’s claims and Development Activitiesthe property located in Broadwater County, Montana (the “Mining Interests”) in consideration for $112,000 payable in 45,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.00248889 per share for a total of $112,000 (the “Property Shares”). The Company had not issued the Property Shares due to the fact there was not a sufficient amount of authorized common stock available at the time. This agreement was cancelled on November 7, 2017. There were no actions taken pursuant to the terms of the agreement and the stock was never issued. The transaction as originally accounted for had no impact to the statement of operations and zero net impact to the balance sheet; as such the transaction has been reversed and is not reflected in these financial statements.

Our Business Objectives
Yuengling’s mission is to provide the highest quality ice cream and dairy-related products to its consumers, offer an enjoyable work environment for its employees, establish lasting relationships with its customers and vendors that are centered on trust, strive to surpass its customers’ expectations, always act ethically, and give back to the communities that support it.

Business Overview
Yuengling’s is an American and family-owned company with high brand recognition & loyalty. Its products are considered in the super-premium category and are all-natural. Yuengling’s exceeds Whole Foods Market® Ingredient Quality Standards. Its products are kosher with no added growth hormones, steroids, or declared dividendsantibiotics.
Yuengling’s is a strong, recognized brand with a long, positive family history and an experienced management team. We are smaller and more responsive than larger competitors.
When national brands continue to reduce the quality of their offerings and downsize their products, Yuengling’s products compare favorably and provide good “value” to our customers. We offer innovative new products and flavors.
Operating Strategy
Yuengling’s retail operating strategy is three-phased, centering on (1) product development, (2) achieving acceptance in a defined core area, and (3) expanding our operations once specific volume and metrics are attained. We are currently in the early stages of phase two.
Marketing and Distribution
Yuengling’s core marketing area is defined as the area from Scranton, Pennsylvania in the North, central Virginia in the South, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to the West, and the New Jersey shore to the East. We believe we offer higher than average overall margins for retailers.
Our goal is to establish critical mass distribution and specific consumer acceptance levels in the defined core marketing area. We feel this will be accomplished through brand promotion at the store level and top-of-mind-focused marketing programs, including large-scale and small-scale direct consumer product sampling. Once we have sufficient market penetration in our core marketing area, we plan to expand and establish the brand outside this area. At the time of this filing, Yuengling’s Ice Cream is sold in select markets in eastern Pennsylvania.
The Company plans to begin selling its three-gallon tubs to food service customers in the spring or early summer of 2022. The Company also plans to begin selling its ice cream pints to distributors and retailers in the spring or summer of 2022.
In the future, we anticipate working with several independent ice cream distributors, rather than a few large distributors, to distribute our products regionally and nationally. To help facilitate customer relationships, we may engage food brokers to act as our agents within designated territories or for specific accounts and receive commissions, which average 5% of net collected sales.
Our ice cream is shipped from our manufacturer to third-party cold storage facilities. In turn, our products are distributed from these cold storage facilities. We do not own, lease or otherwise maintain any vehicles involved in the shipping of our products.
Development Strategy
Our development strategy began with market entry in February 2014. The target was to establish distribution in retail grocery stores within the core marketing area with six-quart flavors of ice cream per store. Distribution is warehouse-based.
We believe our products are a slight bargain compared to super-premium brands such as Ben & Jerry’s and Häagen-Daz and on par with other brands such as Gifford’s. Our promotional pricing strategy depends upon the retailer, with brand positioning as a super-premium offering. We sometimes engage in short-term Everyday Low Price (“EDLP”) program pricing to undermine the existing premium and super-premium players.

Production
Yuengling’s Ice Cream is currently produced by Totally Cool, Inc. (“Totally Cool”) at a high quality, modern, FDA-compliant facility in Owings Mills, Maryland. Our packaging consists of six quarts to a case, eight pints to a case, and three-gallon tubs. Totally Cool is a smaller ice cream production facility that produces ice cream and other frozen desserts for several local, regional, and national brands. Totally Cool’s size allows for smaller and more flexible production runs. We currently do not have a written agreement with Totally Cool; but rather, we order our products as needed pursuant to purchase orders. We do not anticipate that we would encounter any material difficulty in obtaining alternative production sources, at a comparable cost, if our co-packer decides to terminate their relationships with us. Nevertheless, any disruption in supply could have a material adverse effect on our securities. The paymentcompany.

AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVES A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. WE FACE A VARIETY OF RISKS THAT MAY AFFECT OUR OPERATIONS OR FINANCIAL RESULTS AND MANY OF THOSE RISKS ARE DRIVEN BY FACTORS THAT WE CANNOT CONTROL OR PREDICT. BEFORE INVESTING IN THE SECURITIES YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISKS, TOGETHER WITH THE FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING RISKS ACTUALLY OCCURS, OUR BUSINESS, PROSPECTS, FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COULD BE MATERIALLY ADVERSELY AFFECTED. IN THAT CASE, THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK WOULD LIKELY DECLINE AND YOU MAY LOSE ALL OR A PART OF YOUR INVESTMENT. ONLY THOSE INVESTORS WHO CAN BEAR THE RISK OF LOSS OF THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT SHOULD CONSIDER AN INVESTMENT IN OUR SECURITIES.
This Annual Report contains certain statements relating to future events or the future financial performance of our Company. Prospective investors are cautioned that such statements are only predictions and involve risks and uncertainties, and that actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating such statements, prospective investors should specifically consider the various factors identified in this Annual Report, including the matters set forth below, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements.
If any of the following or other risks materialize, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially adversely affected which, in turn, could adversely impact the value of our securities. In such a case, investors in our securities could lose all or part of their investment.
Prospective investors should consider carefully whether an investment in the Company is suitable for them in light of the information contained in this Report and the financial resources available to them. The risks described below do not purport to be all the risks to which the Company could be exposed. This section is a summary of certain risks and is not set out in any particular order of priority. They are the risks that we presently believe are material to the operations of the Company. Additional risks of which we are not presently aware or which we presently deem immaterial may also impair the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
Risks Associated with Our Company and Industry
Due to the Land Freeze, we are currently prohibited from conducting any activities on the Property, our sole asset.
Due to Land Freeze by the ILLM on over 10 million acres of land, including the Property, we are currently prohibited from conducting any exploration activities on our Property which constitutes are sole asset. There can be no assurance that we will be able to commence any activities on our Property or that if we are able to, to what extent. Also, federal land management agencies, including the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, may impose additional restrictions and mitigation obligations on development activities occurring on federal lands, including the Property, which could also adversely impact our business and your investment in our common stock. See “Governmental Regulations and Regulations – Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation.”
Due to the Land Freeze on the Property in 2015, we have been unable have the title to the mining claims on the Property transferred into the Company’s name.
In order to retain title to the mining claims, we are required to renew the Gold Creek claims on an annual basis totaling $190 per claim. On August 31, 2015, Gold Exploration’s title to the mining claims on the Property expired but has been re-staked by the Company. Due to the Land Freeze by the ILLM in 2015 to protect the North American greater sage-grouse, the title to the mining claims on the Property were not able to be transferred into the Company’s name. The Company anticipates once the Land Freeze is lifted, of which there can be no assurances, Gold Exploration will apply to renew the claims and at that point, its claims are expected to be transferred to the Company. There can be no assurances that the Land Freeze will be lifted or that if lifted, we will have sufficient funds to have the mining claims transferred into the Company’s name.
We have limited cash on hand and there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company incurred a net loss of $76,094 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015. In addition, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $50,774 and stockholders’ deficiency of $81,524 at October 31, 2015. In their report for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, our auditors have expressed that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We have incurred operating losses since our formation and expect to incur losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. We expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. We also expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures for the next several years and anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future. We also expect to experience negative cash flow for the foreseeable future as we fund our operating losses and capital expenditures. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues in order to achieve and maintain profitability. We may not be able to generate these revenues or achieve profitability in the future. Our failure to achieve or maintain profitability could negatively impact the value of our Common Stock.
If we do not obtain additional financing, our business plan will fail.
To date, we have funded our operations through the sale debt securities and we intend to continue doing so for the foreseeable future. A portion of our cash flow will have to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness. Typical loan agreements also might contain restrictive covenants, which may impair the Company’s operating flexibility. Such loan agreements would also provide for default under certain circumstances, such as failure to meet certain financial covenants. A default under a loan agreement could result in the loan becoming immediately due and payable and, if unpaid, a judgment in favor of such lender which would be senior to the rights of the Company’s stockholders. A judgment creditor would have the right to foreclose on any of the Company’s assets resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition.
Because we have only recently commenced business operations, we face a high risk of business failure.
We have not begun the initial stages of exploration of our mining claims, and thus have no way to evaluate the likelihood whether we will be able to operate our business successfully. We were incorporated on April 19, 2013 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities, acquiring the mining claims and obtaining financing.
We have not earned any revenues to date and we have not achieved profitability as of October 31, 2015. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in the light of problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mining claims that we plan to undertake.
These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. We have no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that our business will prove successful, and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks our business will likely fail and you will lose your entire investment in this offering.
Because we have only recently commenced business operations, we expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future causing us to run out of funds.
We have not earned revenue and we have never been profitable. Prior to completing exploration on our mining claims, we may incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues from our claims, this could cause us to run out of funds and make our business fail and you will lose your entire investment in this offering.
If we cannot find a joint venture partner for the continued development of our mining claims, we may not be able to advance exploration work.
If the results of our Phase II, Phase III and exploration programs are successful on the Property, we may try to enter a joint venture agreement with a partner for the further exploration and possible production on our mining claims. We would face competition from other junior mineral resource exploration companies who have properties that they deem to be attractive in terms of potential return and investment cost. In addition, if we entered into a joint venture agreement, we would likely assign a percentage of our interest in the mining claims to the joint venture partner. If we are unable to enter into a joint venture agreement with a partner, we may fail and you may lose your entire investment in this offering.
Because our sole officer and director, Tracy Fortner, is only working part-time for our Company, our operations may be sporadic which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of operations.
Our sole officer and director, Tracy Fortner, only devotes limited time to our operations. Because Mr. Fortner devotes limited time to our Company, our operations may continue to be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to him. As a result, operations may be periodically interrupted or suspended which could result in a possible cessation of operations.
Because of the speculative nature of mineral exploration, there is substantial risk that no commercially viable mineral deposits will be found.
Exploration for commercially viable mineral deposits is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. We cannot provide investors with assurance that our mining claims contain commercially viable mineral deposits. The exploration program that we will conduct on our claims may not result in the discovery of commercial viable mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual and unexpected rock formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we may be unable to complete our business plan and you could lose your entire investment in this offering.
Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.
The search for minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. We currently have no such insurance nor do we expect to get such insurance for the foreseeable future. If a hazard were to occur, the costs of rectifying the hazard may exceed our asset value and cause us to liquidate all of our assets resulting in the loss of your entire investment in this offering.
Because access to our mining claims may be restricted by inclement weather, we may be delayed in our exploration and any future mining efforts.
Access to our mining claims may be restricted each year due to snow in the area. As a result, any attempts to visit, test, or explore the property maybe largely limited to about nine months per year when weather permits such activities. These limitations can result in significant delays in exploration efforts, as well as mining and production in the event that commercial amounts of minerals are found.
Such delays can result in our inability to meet deadlines for exploration expenditures as defined by the State of Nevada. This could cause our business venture to fail and the loss of your entire investment in this offering unless we can meet deadlines.
Mining companies are increasingly required to consider and provide benefits to the communities and countries in which they operate, and are subject to extensive environmental, health and safety laws and regulations.
As a result of public concern about the real or perceived detrimental effects of economic globalization and global climate impacts, businesses in natural resources industries, such as our Company, face increasing public scrutiny of their activities. These businesses are under pressure to demonstrate that, as they seek to generate satisfactory returns on investment to shareholders, other stakeholders, including employees, governments, communities surrounding operations and the countries in which they operate, benefit and will continue to benefit from their commercial activities. Such pressures tend to be particularly focused on companies whose activities are perceived to have a high impact on their social and physical environment. The potential consequences of these pressures include reputational damage, legal suits, increasing social investment obligations and pressure to increase taxes and royalties payable to governments and communities.
In addition, our ability to successfully obtain key permits and approvals to explore for, develop and operate mines and to successfully operate in communities around the world will likely depend on our ability to develop, operate and close mines in a manner that is consistent with the creation of social and economic benefits in the surrounding communities, which may or may not be required by law. Our ability to obtain permits and approvals and to successfully operate in particular communities may be adversely impacted by real or perceived detrimental events associated with our activities or those of other mining companies affecting the environment, human health and safety of communities in which we operate. Delays in obtaining or failure to obtain government permits and approvals may adversely affect our operations, including our ability to explore or develop properties, commence production or continue operations. Key permits and approvals may be revoked or suspended or may be varied in a manner that adversely affects our operations, including our ability to explore or develop properties, commence production or continue operations.
Our exploration, development, mining and processing operations are subject to extensive laws and regulations governing worker health and safety and land use and the protection of the environment, which generally apply to air and water quality, protection of endangered, protected or other specified species, hazardous waste management and reclamation. For example, in May 2015, the U.S. Department of the Interior released a plan to protect the greater sage grouse, a species whose natural habitat is found across much of the western United States. The U.S. Department of the Interior’s plan is intended to guide conservation efforts on approximately 70 million acres of national public lands, including in Nevada. No assurances can be made that restrictions relating to conservation will not have an adverse impact on our growth plans or not result in delays in project development, constraints on exploration and constraints on operations in impacted areas. During 2015, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service engaged in an extensive review and considered whether the greater sage grouse would be placed on the endangered species list under protection of the Endangered Species Act. In late 2015, it was determined that the greater sage grouse would not currently be placed on the endangered species list. Nonetheless, federal land management agencies, including the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, may impose additional restrictions and mitigation obligations on development activities occurring on federal lands, which could also adversely impact our business.
Because market factors in the mining business are out of our control, we may not be able to market any minerals that may be found.
The mining industry, in general, is intensely competitive and we can provide no assurance to investors even if minerals are discovered that a ready market will exist from the sale of any ore found. Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of metals. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in our not receiving an adequate return on invested capital and you may lose your entire investment in this offering.
Because of the inherent limitations during the first year, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements to our financial statements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, lack of an Audit Committee, Financial Expert, Independent Director or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate and become ineffective. Other risks to be considered are, maintaining proper cash controls, including failure to segregate cash handling and accounting functions, and did not require dual signature on the Company’s bank accounts. Additionally, not implementing appropriate information technology controls, the Company retains copies of all financial data and material agreements; however there is no formal procedure or evidence of normal backup of the Company’s data or off-site storage of the data in the event of theft, misplacement, or loss.
We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 31, or if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” immediately.
Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until we are no longer an “emerging growth company” or smaller reporting company.
Until such time we are no longer an “emerging growth company” or smaller reporting company, our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest on our controls and procedures over financial reporting As a result of our independent registered public accounting firm not being required to attest with respect to our controls and procedures over financial disclosure, we may not prevent or detect material misstatements or errors, controls may become inadequate because of changes in circumstances, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate and become ineffective. Additionally, due to the lack of the auditors’ attestation on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, the Company may not be able to qualify or receive additional funding, shareholders may not have an accurate financial evaluation of the Company, there may be a decline in share price due to a lack of market confidence, and there may be reduced trading activity causing a lack of liquidity of shareholder investment.
We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growtha smaller reporting company” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
In addition, Section107of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B)by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards.of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this Item.
An “emerging growth company” can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies which will result in less available information for our investors. We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) and as a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Risks Associated with our Common Stock
Because Maverick owns approximately 71.17% of our issued and outstanding common stock, they can exert significant influence over corporate decisions that may be disadvantageous to minority shareholders.
As of the date this Annual Report is being filed, Maverick owns approximately 71.17% of our shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Such ownership grants them control over the Company, such ownership is sufficient to permit them to determine the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including the election of directors, mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and a change in control. The interests of Maverick differ from the interests of our other shareholders and thus may result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to our other shareholders.
Historically, our common stock trades sporadically and there is no assurance that a viable, liquid market with low volatility will develop.
Currently, our common stock is listed on the OTCQB but, historically, trades sporadically. However, a robust public market may never materialize and there may not be enough liquidity in such market to enable shareholders to sell their shares. If a viable public market for our common stock does not develop, investors may not be able to resell their shares of common stock, rendering the same effectively worthless and resulting in a complete loss of their investment.
In addition, our common stock is unlikely to be followed by any market analysts, and there may be few institutions acting as market makers for the common stock. Either of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of our common stock. Until our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops in our common stock, if ever, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly. In addition, prices for our common stock may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock, developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of the Company, and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common stock.
Additional issuances of our securities may result in immediate dilution to existing shareholders.
We are authorized to issue up to 150,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which 126,450,000 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding. Our Board of Directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of common stock. We may, in the future, issue shares in connection with financing arrangements or otherwise. Any such issuances will result in immediate dilution to our existing shareholders’ interests, which will negatively affect the value of your shares.
Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities’ laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a suitably written statement.
Our common stock is a penny stock. The penny stock disclosure requirements could have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. Therefore, if our common stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

Nevada Anti-Takeover Laws
The provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) sections 78.378 to 78.3793 apply to any acquisition of a controlling interest in a certain type of Nevada corporation known as an “Issuing Corporation”, unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation in effect the tenth day following the acquisition of a controlling interest by an acquiring person provide that the provisions of those sections do not apply to the corporation, or to an acquisition of a controlling interest specifically by types of existing or future stockholders, whether or not identified.
The provisions of NRS 78.378 to NRS 78.3793 do not restrict the directors of an “Issuing Corporation” from taking action to protect the interests of the corporation and its stockholders, including, but not limited to, adopting or signing plans, arrangements or instruments that deny rights, privileges, power or authority to a holders of a specified number of shares or percentage of share ownership or voting power.

Plan of Operations
We are a startup mining exploration company without mining operations. Since our inception, we have not generated any revenues and at October 31, 2015, our net losses were $76,094. In their audit report included in this Annual Report, our auditors have expressed their doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. To date, we have funded our operations by issuing equity and debt and our lackResults of capital has delayed the implementation of our business plan. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain such capital on sufficient terms, if at all.
On October 1, 2014, we entered into a Purchase Agreement and acquired the Gold Creek Property comprising of one claim block of 11 claims or 220 acres, in Elko County, Nevada (the “Property”). The Property can be accessed via Nevada State Route #225 connecting to county road USFS Road #745) which provide access to the immediately adjacent Gold Creek Ranger Station.
On October 1, 2014, we entered into an agreement with Gold Exploration Management Services, Inc. to provide us with a summary report about the mining claims, describes the mining claims, the regional geology, the mineral potential of the claim and recommendations how we should explore the claim.
As discussed more fully below under “Government Regulations and Regulations – Greater Sage-Grouse Conservation,” commencing in 2010, there have been federal and state studies and regulations in connection with the conservation of the greater sage-grouse, the largest grouse found in North America currently inhabiting the sage-steppe ecosystems in Montana, southern Idaho, northeastern California, eastern Oregon, northwestern Colorado, and broader sections of Wyoming, Utah and Nevada.
In 2014, Nevada adopted the Nevada Greater Sage-grouse Conservation Plan of 2014 (“2014 State Plan”), a sage-grouse conservation plan which provides broad goals, objectives, and management actions to ameliorate the primary threats to sage-grouse in Nevada. Nevada is also in the process of developing a Nevada Sage-Grouse Strategic Action Plan (“SAP”) which is expected to into greater detail and identify areas to focus conservation efforts in order to achieve the broad goals and objectives outlined in the 2014 State Plan.
Also, on September 23, 2015, the Assistant Secretary of the InteriorOperations for Land and Minerals Management (“ILLM”) approved an application to withdraw (i.e.,prohibiting mining) approximately 10 million acres of public and National Forest System lands identified as Sagebrush Focal Areas in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Wyoming from location and entry under the United States mining laws to protect the greater sage-grouse and its habitat from adverse effects of locatable mineral exploration and mining, subject to valid existing rights. Comments on the proposed withdrawal application or scoping comments on issues to be analyzed in the Environmental Impact Statement must have been received by December 23, 2015.
The Company’s Property is included in the approximately 10 million acres of land currently closed for mining exploration by the ILLM and being studied by Nevada in connection with SAP. Therefore, the Company is currently prohibited from conducting any mining activities on the Property and, depending on the outcomes of the ILLM’s Environmental Impact Statement and Nevada’s SAP, the Company may be permanently prohibited or restricted from conducting any activities on the Property. The Company intends, however, to pursue potential acquisitions of other land on which it may conduct mining activities. The Company is not currently a party to any oral or written agreement to purchase any land at this point in time.
If and when we are permitted to conduct exploration activities on the Property or any additional land we acquire, our goal is to assess whether our claim or claims possess any commercially viable mineral deposits by a four phase program.
During the next 12 months, we do not anticipate generating any revenue. If additional funds become required, the additional funding will come from equity financing from the sale of our equity of debt securities or sale of part of our interest in our mining claims. If we are successful in completing an equity or convertible debt financing, existing shareholders will experience dilution of their interest in our Company. We do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our securities to fund our operations or programs. In the absence of such financing, our business will fail.
We may consider entering into a joint venture partnership by linking with another resource company to provide the required funding to complete our Phase IV exploration program. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture partner for Phase IV. If we enter into a joint venture arrangement, we will assign a percentage of our interest in our mining claims to the joint venture partner.
Based on the nature of our business, we anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mining claims in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines. Our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:
Due to our lack of operating history and present inability to generate revenues, our auditors have stated their opinion that there currently exists substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Even if we complete our current exploration program and it is successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral reserve.
Below is our budget for our proposed exploration program.

Risks and Uncertainties
There are a number of known material risks and uncertainties that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our revenues, operations, liquidity and income over the short and long term. The primary risk that we face over the long term is that our mining claims may not contain a commercially viable mineral deposit. If our mining claims do not contain a commercially viable deposit, this will have a material effect on our ability to earn revenue and income as we will not be able to sell any minerals.
There are a number of industry-wide risk factors that may affect our business. The most significant industry-wide risk factor is that mineral exploration is an inherently risky business. Very few exploration companies go on to discover economically viable mineral deposits or reserves that ultimately result in an operating mine.
In order for us to commence mining operations we face a number of challenges which include finding qualified professionals to conduct our exploration program, obtaining adequate financing to continue our exploration program, locating a viable ore body, partnering with a senior mining company, obtaining mining permits, and ultimately selling minerals in order to generate revenue. Another important industry-wide risk factor is that the price of commodities can fluctuate based on world demand and other factors. For example, if the price of a mineral were to dramatically decline this could make any ore we have on our mining claims uneconomical to mine. We and other companies in our business are relying on a price of ore that will allow us to develop a mine and ultimately generate revenue by selling minerals.
Finally, we face a risk of not being able to finance our exploration plans. With each unsuccessful attempt at locating a commercially viable mineral deposit we become more and more unattractive in the eyes of investors. For the short term this is less of an issue because we have enough funds to complete the first phase of our exploration program. However, over the long term this can become a serious issue that can be difficult to overcome. Without adequate financing we cannot operate and complete our exploration on the Gold Creek Property. However, this risk is faced by all exploration companies and it is not unique to us.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of October 31, 2015, the Company had a cash balance of $924. We do not have sufficient funds to operate for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company.
Since inception, the Company has funded its operations through the sale of equity securities and loans from our executive officers.
To date, we have raised $53,155 via two private offerings, of 6,0000,000 (90,000,000 post-Forward Split) shares of common stock subscribed for at $0.001 to our former officers and directors, for a total cash proceeds of $6,000; 2,430,000 (36,450,000 post-Forward Split) shares of common stock were subscribed for by 34 non-affiliate shareholders at a price of $0.01 for a total cash proceeds of $24,300. The Company registered the 2,430,000 (36,450,000 post-Forward Split) shares of common stock on a Form S-1 declared effective by the SEC on March 10, 2015.
The Company also received loans from our former President in the amount of $24,656. The loans were unsecured, non-interest bearing and are due upon demand giving 30 days’ written notice to the borrower. On September 30, 2015, Maverick assumed this debt pursuant to a Debt Assumption Agreement.
As of October 31, 2015, we had no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person or entity to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources. Since the Company has no such arrangements or plans currently in effect, its inability to raise funds for the above purposes will have a severe negative impact on its ability to remain a viable company.
Going Concern Consideration
The Company incurred a net loss of $76,094Liquidity and Capital Resources for the fiscal year endedFiscal Year Ended October 31, 2015. In addition,2016, Compared to the Company had a working capital deficiency of $50,774 and stockholders’ deficiency of 50,774 atFiscal Year Ended October 31, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company believes that it will need approximately $250,000 to fund its expenses and execute its business plan over the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us or available on terms favorable to us. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of our equity securities, such as through the issuance and exercise of warrants, then existing stockholders will experience dilution of their ownership interest. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt or other equity instruments, we may be subject to certain limitations in our operations, and issuance of such securities may have rights senior to those of the then existing holders of common stock. If adequate funds are not available or not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to fund and develop our business.

Operating Activities
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, we used $113,757 of cash in operations, which included our net loss of $161,149 an increase of accounts payable of $23,289 Cash flows remained relatively consistent year-over-year but the negative cash flow from operations is primarily due to the start-up/lower volume nature of the operations.
In the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, we used $53,602 of cash in operations. This was made up primarily from a net loss of $76,094 and a $15,000 impairment of a mineral property.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, of ($18,857) resulted from the purchase of equipment. Net cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, of $0 resulted from no activity.

Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $140,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, which consisted of $140,000 of proceeds from notes payable. Net cash provided by financing activities was $21,801 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, which consisted of $20,000 of proceeds from notes payable, and $1,801from a related party loan.
Future Capital Requirements
Our current available cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements. Our capital requirements for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2021, will depend on numerous factors, including management’s evaluation of the timing of projects to pursue. Subject to our ability to generate revenues and cash flow from operations and our ability to raise additional capital (including through possible joint ventures or partnerships), we expect to incur substantial expenditures to carry out our business plan, as well as costs associated with our capital raising efforts and being a public company.
Our plans to finance our operations include seeking equity and debt financing, alliances or other partnership agreements, or other business transactions that would generate sufficient resources to ensure the continuation of our operations.
The sale of additional equity or debt securities may result in further dilution to our stockholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock, these securities could have rights senior to those of our Common Stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Any such required additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. If we were unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of, delay or eliminate some or all of our planned activities and limit our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operations results.
Inflation
The amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts representing replacement costs or using other inflation adjustments.
Going Concern
The accompanying audited 2016 financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, we had a net loss of $161,149, had net cash used in operating activities of ($113,757), an accumulated deficit of ($338,823) and stockholders’ deficit of ($211,923).
Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, fund possible future acquisitions, and generate profitable operations in the future. Our management plans to provide for our capital requirements by continuing to issue additional equity and debt securities. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted at this time, and there are no assurances that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our business plan or generate positive operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Our liquidity is not dependent on the use of off-balance sheet financing arrangements (as that term is defined in Item 303(a) (4) (ii) of Regulation S-K) and as of October 31, 20152016 we had no such arrangements. There has been no material change in our contractual obligations other than in the ordinary course of business since the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015.2016.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Yuengling’s Ice Cream Corporation (“the Company”) as of October 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has sustained operating losses since inception. This factor raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. 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 audit 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 audit, 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 audit 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 audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2019.

(“Gold Exploration”) pursuant to which the Company purchased 100% of Gold’s Exploration’s interest in one claim block of 11 claims or 220 acres, in Elko County, Nevada (the “Gold Creek Property”) for $15,000. The claims were registered in the name of Gold Exploration. On August 31, 2015, Gold Exploration’s title to the mining claims on the Gold Creek Property expired but has been re-staked by the Company. In September 2015, the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) imposed a prohibition on mining activities on 10 million acres of public and National Forest System Lands, including the Gold Creek Property, in order to protect the greater sage-grouse and its habitat from adverse effects of locatable mineral exploration and mining activities, subject to valid existing rights (the “Land Freeze”). Due to the Land Freeze, the Company has not been able to have the title to the Gold Creek Property transferred into the Company’s name or to conduct any activities on the Gold Creek Property.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Company’s financial statements and related notes are presentedhave been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in United States (US) dollars. The Company has not produced any revenue from its principal business and is an exploration stage company.of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents. As of October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, there were no cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
ImpairmentConcentrations of Long Lived AssetsCredit Risk
We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We believe we are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Cash Equivalents
The Company tests itsconsiders all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents for the years ended October 31, 2016 or 2015.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation of property and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to seven years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset. Expenditures for recoverabilityrepairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Long lived assets, including property and equipment, to be held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amountvalue of the assets may not be recoverable, which includes comparing the carrying amount of a long-lived asset to the sumrecoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if expected future cash flows of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result fromrelated assets are less than their carrying values. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the use and eventual dispositionfair value of the asset. An impairment loss wouldLong-lived assets to be measured asdisposed of are reported at the amount by which thelower of carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds itsor fair value. For the Company’s mining claims, this test includes examining the discounted and undiscounted cash flows associated with value beyond proven and probable reserves, in determining whether the mining claim is impaired.less cost to sell.
Start-up ExpensesIncome Taxes
The Company expenses costs associated with start-up activities as incurred. Accordingly, start-up costs associated withIncome taxes are provided for the Company’s formation have been includedtax effects of the transactions reported in the Company’s generalfinancial statements and administrative expenses.
Mining Interests and Exploration Expenditures
Exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they occur.consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to tax net operating loss carryforwards. The Company capitalizes costs for acquiring and leasing mineral properties and expenses costs to maintain mineral rights as incurred. Should a property reach the production stage, these capitalized costs would be amortized using the units-of-production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves. Mineral interests are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and any subsequent losses are charged to operations at the time of impairment. If a property is abandoned or sold, its capitalized costs are charged to operations.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes FASB ACS 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities forrepresent the expected future tax return consequences of events that have been includedthese differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when assets and liabilities are recovered or settled, as well as operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the financial statementsyears in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or tax returns. Under this method,settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutorya change in tax rates applicable tois recognized in income in the periods in whichperiod that includes the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferredenactment date. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when in the opinionjudgment of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of thesuch deferred tax assets will not become available. Because the judgment about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a great extent on matters that may, at least in part, be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjustedbeyond the Company’s control, it is at least reasonably possible that management’s judgment about the need for a valuation allowance for deferred taxes could change in the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.near term.
The accounting guidanceTax benefits are recognized only for uncertainties in income tax prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position in the financial statements only when it isthat are more likely than not that the position willto be sustained upon examination including resolutionby tax authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon settlement. A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any related appeals or litigation processes, based ontax benefits claimed in the technical merits and a consideration of the relevant taxing authority’s widely understood administrative practices and precedents.
Interest and penalties onCompany’s tax deficiencies recognized in accordance with ACS accounting standards are classified as income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10-50-19.
We have implemented certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions, as defined. ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of thereturns that do not meet these recognition and measurement related to accountingstandards. As of October 31, 2016, and 2015, no liability for income taxes. We adopted the provisions of ASC 740 and have analyzed filing positions in United States jurisdictions where we areunrecognized tax benefits was required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified the United States as our “major” tax jurisdiction. Generally, we remain subject to United States examination of our income tax returns.be reported.
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. As of October 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no potentially dilutive shares.

Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsMeasurements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC (Accounting Standards Codification) 820-10 (SFAS No. 157), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements.
FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair valueis defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820-10 alsoTopic No. 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entitythat prioritizes the inputs to maximizevaluation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels, as described below:
Level 1: Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active, and observable inputs other than quoted prices such as interest rates.
Level 3: Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs.
The following required disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizesdifferent market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the three levels of inputs required by the standard that the Company uses to measureestimated fair value:
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Sharevalue amounts.
Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260,Earnings Per Share, for the period presented. ASC 260 requires presentation of basic earnings per shareThe methods and diluted earnings per share. Basic income (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) is similarly calculated. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby wereassumptions used to purchase common stock atestimate the average market price duringfair values of each class of financial instruments are as follows: Cash and Cash Equivalents, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable. The items are generally short-term in nature, and accordingly, the period. Forcarrying amounts reported on the year ended October 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no potentially dilutive securities.consolidated balance sheets are reasonable approximations of their fair values.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operation, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. ASU 2014-10 eliminates the distinction of a development stage entity and certain related disclosure requirements, including the elimination of inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity. The amendments in ASU 2014-10 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods, however early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2014-10 during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, thereby no longer presenting or disclosing any information required by Topic 915.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which is the new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Entities will have the option of using either a full retrospective approach or a modified approach to adopt the guidance in the ASU. The Company currently has no revenues and doesn’t expect any impact of adopting this guidance.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.” This ASU provides more explicit guidance for treating share-based payment awards that require a specific performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expecthas determined that the adoption of this guidance to havedoes not a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Topic 205-40),” which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosure is required. This new standard will be effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016.2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this new standard for the fiscal year ending DecemberOctober 31, 2014.2016.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-3, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30),” related to the presentation of debt issuance costs. This standard will require debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. These costs will continue to be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and retrospective adoption is required. We will adopt this pronouncement for our year beginning JanuaryNovember 1, 2016. We doThe Company has determined that the adoption of this guidance does not expect this pronouncement to have a material effectimpact on our consolidatedthe financial statements.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The Company has sustained operating losses since inception. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtaining additional financing from its shareholders or other sources, as may be required.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. For the year ending October 31, 2016 the Company incurred a net loss of $161,149. The accumulated deficit to October 31, 2016 is $338,823.
Management is endeavouring to begin exploration activities however, may not be able to do so within the next fiscal year. Management is also seeking to raise additional working capital through various financing sources, including the sale of the Company’s equity securities, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our business as desired and operating results will be adversely affected. In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on us or our stockholders. Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility. If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock.
NOTE 4 – INCOME TAXES
No provision was made for federal income tax for the year ended October 31, 2015 and 2014, since the Company had net operating losses.
The Company has available a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $76,094 and $5,430, respectively which begins to expire in 2031 unless utilized beforehand. The Company generated a deferred tax asset through the net operating loss carry-forward. However, a valuation allowance of 100% has been established.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAX
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is reflectedmore likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company is using the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% and 5% estimated state tax.
The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following October 31:

| 25 |
At October 31, 2016, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $161,149 that maybe offset against future taxable income. No tax benefit has been reported in the October 31, 2016 or 2015 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act establishes new tax laws that affects 2018 and future years, including a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
ASC Topic 740 provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. Topic 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.
The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements as a deposit, until such time asof operations in the ownership has been transferredprovision for income taxes. As of October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company files income tax returns in the Company.

NOTE 9 – COMMON STOCK
During the year ended October 31, 2015 the Company recorded an impairmentwas in receipt of $15,000.subscription proceeds in the amount of $30,300. Subsequently the common shares were issued to the subscribers. On November 17, 2015 the Company, authorized a fifteen-for-one (15:1) forward stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share without changing the authorized number or par value of the Common Stock and with fractional shares resulting from the Forward Split being rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Forward Split became effective on November 25, 2015. As a result of the Forward Split, the number of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock were increased from 8,430,000 to 126,450,000.
As a result of the forward split of the Company’s common stock, created a negative amount in the Additional Paid in Capital.
While there are no specific accounting guidelines to treat the negative Additional Paid in Capital (APIC), the Company has determined to account for the negative amount in the Company’s Retained Earnings as opposed to a Discount on Common Stock. The rationale behind this this adjustment is that Additional Paid in Capital (APIC) is a capital account and cannot reflect a negative balance. Therefore, the negative balance created by stock split should be charged to Retained Earnings.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Controls and Procedures.
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, our management is required to perform an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period.
Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of October 31, 2015,2016, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and 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 the 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 of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations 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 financial statements.
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. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
As of October 31, 2015,2016, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework of 19922013 issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments. Based on that evaluation under this framework, our management concluded that as of October 31, 2015,2016, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of the following material weaknesses:
| ● | Due to our small number of employees and resources, we have limited segregation of duties, as a result of which there is insufficient independent review of duties performed. |
| ● | As a result of the limited number of accounting personnel, we rely on outside consultants for the preparation of our financial reports, including financial statements and management discussion and analysis, which could lead to overlooking items requiring disclosure. |
| ● | The Company’s Board of Directors has only one director and does not have an audit committee or an independent audit committee financial expert. While not being legally obligated to have an audit committee or independent audit committee financial expert, it is the management’s view that to have an audit committee, comprised of independent board members, and an independent audit committee financial expert is an important entity-level control over the Company’s financial statements. |
The Company did not file this Annual Report on Form 10-K nor the two quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the subsequent fiscal quarters ended January 31, 2016 and April 30, 2016 within the appropriate filing deadlines and were subsequently delinquent in our filings with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This delinquency is due the Company’s limited financial and personnel resources.
| 32 |
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
In an effort to remediate the identified material weaknesses and other deficiencies and enhance our internal controls, if and when the Company obtains sufficient capital resources, management intends to hire personnel with sufficient U.S. GAAP knowledge and experience and to segregate appropriate duties among them. We also intend to appoint one or more independent members to our Board of Directors who shall also be appointed to a standing audit committee which will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures such as reviewing and approving estimates and assumptions made by management. While we are actively seeking outside members, including candidates with accounting experience, we cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful. Given the size of our Company, lack of revenues and current lack of financing to continue with our business, it is unlikely that we will be able to hire any additional personnel or that anyone will agree to join our Board until general economic conditions and our own business prospects improve significantly.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Director Independence
We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the Board of Directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” Nevertheless, Tracy Fortner, our only director, does not qualify as independent under the applicable standards of the SEC and the NASDAQ stock market.
Family Relationships
None
Involvement in Certain Legal ProceedingsNone.
None of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years:
Audit Committee
We currently do not have a separately standing Audit Committee due to our limited size and our Board performs the functions that would otherwise be performed by an Audit Committee.
Compensation Committee
The Company does not have a Compensation Committee due to our limited size and our Board performs the functions that would otherwise be performed by a Compensation Committee. Our Board intends to form a Compensation Committee when needed.
Other Committees
We do not currently have a separately-designated standing nominating committee. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, no security holders have made any such recommendations. The entire Board of Directors performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our Board, it is not practical for us to have committees other than those described above, or to have more than two directors on such committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and our committees and allocate responsibilities accordingly.
Significant Employees
We do not have any significant employees other than our current executive officers and directors named in this Report.
Code of Ethics
Due to our small size, we have not adopted a Code of Ethics and Code of Business Conduct that applies to our officers and directors, and critical employees.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.
Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with under Section 16 of the Exchange Act during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015.2016.
