FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some information contained in or incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include comments relating to the ability of available cash reserves at January 31, 2024, to be sufficient for greater than the next twelve months; royalties to be paid to U.S. Gold Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) upon future exploration success at the Maggie Creek project; the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern; expected vesting of options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock and expected legal and accounting expenses to maintain compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the effect of these expenses on the Company’s profitability and our results of operations.

We use the words “anticipate,” “continue,” “likely,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “project,” “should,” “believe” and variations of such words and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. Statements that contain these words discuss our future expectations and plans, or state other forward-looking information. Although we believe the expectations and assumptions reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct. Our actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements as a result of the factors set forth in, or incorporate by reference in this report, including:

deviations from the projections set forth in the prefeasibility study for the CK Gold Project due to unanticipated variations in grade, unexpected challenges with potential mining of the deposit, volatility in commodity prices, variations in expected recoveries, increases in projected operating or capital costs, or delays in our permitting plans;
mining exploration and development risks, including risks related to regulatory approvals, operational hazards and accidents, equipment breakdowns, contractor disputes, contractual disputes related to exploration properties and other unanticipated difficulties;
the strength of the world economies;
competition in the gold and precious minerals mining industries;
fluctuations in interest rates and inflation rates;
changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities;
future adverse legislation regarding the mining industry and climate change;
the impact of geopolitical events and other uncertainties, such as the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East;
our ability to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market LLC’s (“Nasdaq”) listing standards;
volatility in the market price of our common stock;
our ability to fund our business with our current cash reserves based on our currently planned activities;
our ability to raise the necessary capital required to continue our business on terms acceptable to us or at all;
our expected cash needs and the availability and plans with respect to future financing;
our ability to maintain the adequacy of internal control over financial reporting;
adverse technological changes and cybersecurity threats;
our ability to retain key management and mining personnel necessary to operate and grow our business successfully; and
the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2023 (“fiscal year 2023”).

Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. These statements speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us and persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this section and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2018 AND 20172024

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Organization

U.S. Gold Corp., formerly known as Dataram Corporation (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada and was originally incorporated in the State of New Jersey in 1967.1967 and was subsequently re-incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada in 2016. Effective June 26, 2017, the Company changed its legal name to U.S. Gold Corp. from Dataram Corporation. On May 23, 2017, the Company merged with Gold King Corp. (“Gold King”), in a transaction treated as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization, and the business of Gold King became the business of the Company. The financial statements are those of Gold King (the accounting acquirer) prior to the merger and include the activity of Dataram Corporation (the legal acquirer) from the date of the merger. Gold KingCompany is a gold and precious metals exploration company pursuing exploration and development opportunities primarilyproperties. The Company owns certain mining leases and other mineral rights comprising the CK Gold Project in Wyoming, the Keystone Project in Nevada and Wyoming.the Challis Gold Project in Idaho. The Company has established an estimate of proven and probable mineral reserves under S-K 1300 at its CK Gold Project, where the Company is conducting exploration and pre-development activities, and all of its activities on its other properties are exploratory in nature.

The Company’s CK Gold property contains proven and probable mineral reserves and accordingly is classified as a development stage property, as defined in subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“S-K 1300”). None of the Company’s other properties contain proven and probable mineral reserves and all of the Company’s activities on all of its properties are exploratory in nature.

On May 3, 2017,Unless the Company filed a certificate of amendment to its Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada in order to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock on a one for four basis. All share and per share values of the Company’s common stock forcontext otherwise requires, all periods presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are retroactively restated for the effect of the reverse stock split in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 4C.

Recent developments - Acquisition and Disposition

On June 13, 2016, Gold King, a private Nevada corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with the Company, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Dataram Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Acquisition Sub”), and all of the principal shareholders of Gold King (the “Gold King Shareholders”). Upon closing of the transactions contemplated under the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”), Gold King merged with and into Acquisition Sub with Gold King as the surviving corporation and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

On May 23, 2017, the Company closed the Merger with Gold King. The Merger constituted a change of control, or change in control, as the majority of the Board of Directors changed with the consummation of the Merger. The Company issued shares of common stock to Gold King which represented approximately 90% of the combined company.

On July 31, 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors, or Board, reviewed and approved the recommendation of management to consider strategic options for Dataram Corporation’s legacy business (“Dataram Memory”) including the sale of the business, within the next 12 months.

In approving the recommendation and adopting a formal plan, the Board retained the right to review all offers received and final approval on any sale of the business. As such, the legacy business activities were re-classed and reported as part of “discontinued operations”. Priorreferences herein to the sale of Dataram Memory business, assets“Company” refer to U.S. Gold Corp. and liabilities were reflected on the balance sheet as “held for sale”. On October 13, 2017, the Company sold the Dataram Memory business for a purchase price of $900,000 (see Note 4).its consolidated subsidiaries.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentationpresentation and Liquidityprinciples of consolidation

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), the instructions to Form 10-Q, and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information, which includes the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and presentpresents the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiaries as of January 31, 2018.2024. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The accounting policies and procedures used in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2017,2023, which are contained in the Form 8-K/A10-K filed on July 31, 2017.2023. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2017January 31, 2024 was derived from those financial statements. It is management’s opinion that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made, which are necessary for a fair financial statement presentation. TheOperating results forduring the interim periodnine months ended January 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year endedending April 30, 2018.2024 (“fiscal year 2024”).

As reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss and used cash in its operations of approximately $12.5 million and $6.3 million, respectively, for the nine months ended January 31, 2018. Additionally, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $17 million at January 31, 2018. The Company consummated private placements to several investors for the sale of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $10.9 million between July 2016 and October 2016, received net proceeds from sale of the Company’s common stock of approximately $2.6 million between July 2017 and October 2017 and completed a private placement for the sale of the Company’s Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”) and warrants for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $4.9 million in January 2018. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital or if the terms will be favorable.

The above steps substantially lowered the Company’s potential cash exposure. Additionally, the Company is able to control cash spending on its exploration activities. As a result, as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Company believes its current cash position and plans have alleviated substantial doubt about its ability to sustain operations for at least one year from the issuance of these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet, and revenues and expenses for the period then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, valuation of mineral rights, stock-based compensation, the fair value of common stock, issuedvaluation of warrant liability, asset retirement obligations and the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Fair ValueRevision of Financial InstrumentsStatements

TheDuring the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021 (“fiscal year 2021”), the Company adopteddetermined that it had not appropriately recorded a deferred tax liability related to the acquisition of mineral rights in August 2020. This resulted in an understatement of deferred tax liability and a corresponding understatement of provision for income taxes during fiscal year 2021. Based on an analysis of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 250 – “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“ASC 250”), Staff Accounting Bulletin 99 – “Materiality” and Staff Accounting Bulletin 108 – “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” the Company determined that these errors were immaterial to the previously issued consolidated financial statements, and as such no restatement was necessary. Correcting prior period financial statements for immaterial errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended.

The effect of this revision on the line items within the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity as of the fiscal year ended April 30, 2022 (“fiscal year 2022”), was as follows:

SCHEDULE OF REVISION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT

  As Previously Reported  Revision  As Revised 
  April 30, 2022 
  As Previously Reported  Revision  As Revised 
Accumulated Deficit  (57,905,928)  (430,486)  (58,336,414)
Total Stockholders’ Equity $23,657,801  $(430,486) $23,227,315 

Fair Value Measurements

The Company has adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. ASC 820 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America thatU.S. GAAP, which requires the use of fair value measurements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements.

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

8

These inputs are prioritized below:

Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the use of the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The Company analyzes all financial instruments with features of both liabilities and equity under the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) accounting standard for such instruments. Under this standard, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The carrying amounts reportedCompany’s warrant liability for warrants issued in connection with equity financings in March 2022 and April 2023 (see Note 9) was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model using Level 3 inputs.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The Company did not have any cash equivalents on hand at January 31, 2024 and April 30, 2023. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company’s accounts at these institutions are insured by the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash, prepaid expenseFederal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000. To reduce its risk associated with the failure of such financial institutions, the Company evaluates, at least annually, the rating of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits. At January 31, 2024 and April 30, 2023, the Company had bank balances of approximately $2.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively, exceeding the FDIC insurance limit on interest bearing accounts.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets – current, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, approximate their estimated fair values based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

GoodwillPrepaid expenses and other intangiblecurrent assets of $395,167 and $610,140 at January 31, 2024 and April 30, 2023, respectively, consist primarily of costs paid for future services which will occur within a year. Prepaid expenses principally include prepayments in cash and equity instruments for consulting, public relations, business advisory services, insurance premiums, mining claim fees, easement fees, options fees, and mineral lease fees which are being amortized over the terms of their respective agreements.

In accordance with ASC 350-30-65, the Company assesses the impairmentProperty

Property is carried at cost. The cost of identifiable intangibles whenever eventsrepairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors the Company considers to be important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

1.Significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results;
2.Significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and
3.Significant negative industry or economic trends.

When the Company determines that the carrying value of intangibles may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or moredisposed of, the above indicatorscost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gains or losses are included in income in the year of impairment anddisposition. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the carrying valueestimated useful life of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by managementassets, generally three to be commensurate with the risk inherent in the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows.five years.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable, or at least annually. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. During the nine months ended January 31, 2018, the Company determined that the carrying value of Goodwill (see Note 4) exceeded its fair value, which triggered an impairment analysis. The Company recorded a goodwilldid not recognize any impairment expense of $6,094,760 during the nine months ended January 31, 2018, nonrecurring level 3 fair value measurement.2024 and 2023.

Mineral Rights

Costs of lease, exploration,leasing, exploring, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. The Company expenses all mineral exploration costs as incurred as it is still in the exploration stage. Ifincurred. Where the Company identifieshas identified proven and probable mineral reserves in its investigationon any of its properties, development costs will be capitalized when all the following criteria have been met, a) the Company receives the requisite operating permits, b) completion of a favorable Feasibility Study and uponc) approval from the Board of director’s authorizing the development of a plan for operating a mine, it would enter the development stage and capitalize futureore body. Until such time all these criteria have been met the Company records pre-development costs until production is established.to expense as incurred.

When a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs arewill be amortized on a units-of-production basis over the proven and probable reserves following the commencement of production. The Company assesses the carrying costs of the capitalized mineral properties for impairment under ASC 360-10, “Impairment of long-lived assets”Long-Lived Assets”, and evaluates its carrying value under ASC 930-360, “Extractive Activities - Activities—Mining”, annually. An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral properties. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral properties over its estimated fair value.

To date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of any exploration prospects; therefore,expensed all exploration and pre-development costs are being expensed.as none of its properties have satisfied the criteria above for capitalization.

ASC 930-805, “Extractive Activities-Mining:Activities—Mining: Business Combinations” (“ASC 930-805”), states that mineral rights consist of the legal right to explore, extract, and retain at least a portion of the benefits from mineral deposits. Mining assets include mineral rights.

Acquired mineral rights are considered tangible assets under ASC 930-805. ASC 930-805 requires that mineral rights be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. As a result, the direct costs to acquire mineral rights are initially capitalized as tangible assets. Mineral rights include costs associated with acquiring patented and unpatented mining claims.

ASC 930-805 provides that in measuring the fair value of mineral assets, an acquirer should take into account both:

● The value beyond proven and probable reserves (“VBPP”) to the extent that a market participant would include VBPP in determining the fair value of the assets.

● The effects of anticipated fluctuations in the future market price of minerals in a manner that is consistent with the expectations of market participants.

Leases to explore for or use of natural resources are outside the scope of ASC 842, “Leases”.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718, “Compensation – “Compensation—Stock Compensation’Compensation” (“ASC 718”), which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). ASC 718 also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Pursuant

Accounting for Warrants

Warrants are accounted for in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance provided in ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”) as either derivative liabilities or as equity instruments, depending on the specific terms of the agreements. The Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to ASC 505, “Equity –net-cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company) or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). Instruments that are classified as liabilities are recorded at fair value at each reporting period, with any change in fair value recognized as a component of change in fair value of derivative liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company assessed the classification of its outstanding common stock purchase warrants as of the date of issuance and determined that such instruments, except for the warrants discussed under Warrant Liability below, met the criteria for equity classification under the guidance in ASU 2017-11 “Earnings Per Share (Topic 260); Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“ASC 505-50”(Topic 480); Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): (Part I) Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Feature”. The Company has no outstanding warrants that contain a “down round” feature under Topic 815 of ASU 2017-11.

Warrant Liability

The Company accounts for the 625,000 warrants and 870,000 warrants issued in March 2022 and April 2023 (the “Warrant Agreements”), respectively, in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” whereby under that provision these warrants do not meet the criteria for share-based paymentsequity treatment and must be recorded as a liability (see Note 9). Accordingly, the Company classifies these warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to consultantsfair value at each reporting period. This liability is re-measured at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expire, and any change in fair value will be recognized in the Company’s statement of operations. The fair value of these warrants is estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Such warrant classification is also subject to re-evaluation at each reporting period.

Offering Costs

Offering costs incurred consisted of legal, placement agent fees and other third-parties, compensation expense is determinedcosts that were directly related to registered direct offerings. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the registered direct offering based on the same proportion as the proceeds were allocated to the warrants and equity. Offering costs associated with warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred, presented as offering costs related to warrant liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the sale of common shares are charged against equity.

Remediation and Asset Retirement Obligation

Asset retirement obligations (“ARO”), consisting primarily of estimated reclamation costs at the measurement dateCompany’s CK Gold and Keystone properties, are recognized in the period incurred and when a reasonable estimate can be made, and recorded as liabilities at fair value. Such obligations, which are initially estimated based on discounted cash flow estimates, are accreted to full value over time through charges to accretion expense. Corresponding asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset and depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life. AROs are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from revisions to the estimated timing or amount of reclamation and closure costs. The Company reviews and evaluates its AROs annually or more frequently at interim periods if deemed necessary.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The reporting and functional currency of the Company is the grantU.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date with any transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency included in the results of operations as incurred. Translation adjustments, and transaction gains or losses, have not had, and are not expected to have, a material effect on the results of operations of the Company and are included in general and administrative expenses.

Operating lease right of use assets (“ROU”) represent the right to use the leased asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. UntilAs most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the measurementCompany uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Upon the election by the Company to extend the lease for additional years, that election will be treated as a lease modification and the lease will be reviewed for re-measurement. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is reached,amortized on a straight-line basis over the total amountlease term and is included in general and administrative expenses in the statements of compensation expense remains uncertain.operations.

Income taxesTaxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to the provision of ASC 740-10,740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”740”), which requires, among other things, an asset and liability approach to calculating deferred income taxes. The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is provided to offset any net deferred tax assets for which management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred asset will not be realized.

10

The Company follows the provision of ASC 740-10, related to Accounting“Accounting for Uncertain Income Tax Positions.Positions” (“ASC 740-10”). When tax returns are filed, there may be uncertainty about the merits of positions taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. In accordance with the guidance of ASC 740-10, the benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions.

Tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefit associated with tax positions taken that exceed the amount measured as described above should be reflected as a liability for uncertain tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. The Company believes its tax positions are all more likely than not to be upheld upon examination. As such, the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax benefits.benefits or for any related interest and penalties. In the event that the Company is assessed penalties and/or interest, penalties will be charged to other operating expense and interest will be charged to interest expense.

The Company has adoptedfollows ASC 740-10-25, “Definition of Settlement”, which provides guidance on how an entity should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits and provides that a tax position can be effectively settled upon the completion and examination by a taxing authority without being legally extinguished. For tax positions considered effectively settled, an entity would recognize the full amount of tax benefit, even if the tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained based solely on the basis of its technical merits and the statute of limitations remains open. The federal and state income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by the IRSInternal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities, generally for three years after they are filed.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. ASC 740,Accounting for Income Taxesrequires companies to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities and the retroactive effects of changes in tax laws in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. There is no further change to its assertion on maintaining a full valuation allowance against its U.S. deferred tax assets. The Company’s gross deferred tax assets will be revalued from 35% to 21% with a corresponding offset to the valuation allowance and any potential other taxes arising due to the Tax Act will result in reductions to its net operating loss carryforward and valuation allowance. The Company is in the process of determining the amount of the change. Deferred tax assets will be revalued with a corresponding decrease to the Company’s valuation allowance. The Company will continue to analyze the Tax Act to assess its full effects on the Company’s financial results, including disclosures, for the Company’s fiscal year ending April 30, 2018, but the Company does not expect the Tax Act to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01 “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business”, which clarifies the definition of a business to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The standard introduces a screen for determining when assets acquired are not a business and clarifies that a business must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that contribute to an output to be considered a business. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company early adopted this ASU on May 1, 2017, and expects that the adoption of this ASU could have a material impact on future consolidated financial statements for acquisitions that are not considered to be businesses.

11

In July 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-11, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): I. Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features; II. Replacement of the Indefinite Deferral for Mandatorily Redeemable Financial Instruments of Certain Nonpublic Entities and Certain Mandatorily Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests with a Scope Exception. Part I of this update addresses the complexity of accounting for certain financial instruments with down round features. Down round features are features of certain equity-linked instruments (or embedded features) that result in the strike price being reduced on the basis of the pricing of future equity offerings. Current accounting guidance creates cost and complexity for entities that issue financial instruments (such as warrants and convertible instruments) with down round features that require fair value measurement of the entire instrument or conversion option. Part II of this update addresses the difficulty of navigating Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, because of the existence of extensive pending content in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This pending content is the result of the indefinite deferral of accounting requirements about mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of certain nonpublic entities and certain mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests. The amendments in Part II of this update do not have an accounting effect. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company early adopted this ASU on November 1, 2017, and expects that the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on future consolidated financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impacteffect on the financial statements upon adoption. The Company does not discuss recent pronouncements that are not anticipated to have an impacteffect on or are unrelated to its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

In June 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) (“ASU 2022-03”). The amendments in ASU 2022-03 clarify that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments in this Update also require additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The provisions in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect to early adopt this ASU. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 — MINERAL RIGHTSGOING CONCERN

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As of January 31, 2024, the Company had cash of approximately $2.6 million, working capital of approximately $2.7 million, which consists primarily of cash and an accumulated deficit of approximately $70.8 million. The Company had a net loss and cash used in operating activities of approximately $4.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively, for the nine months ended January 31, 2024. As a result of the utilization of cash in its operating activities, and the development of its assets, the Company has incurred losses since it commenced operations. The Company’s primary source of operating funds since inception has been equity financings. As of the filing date of this Form 10-Q, the Company may have sufficient cash to fund its corporate activities and general and administrative costs and currently undertaken project activities related to permitting and engineering studies. However, in order to advance any of its projects past the aforementioned objectives the Company does not have sufficient cash and will need to raise additional funds. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Common Stock Issued, Restricted Stock Awards, and RSU’s Granted for Services

On October 24, 2023, the Company issued an aggregate of 7,569 shares of common stock to a consultant in connection with an advisory consulting agreement for services rendered from April 2023 to September 2023. The 7,569 shares of common stock had a fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and thus more reliably measurable. The Company deemed that the fair value of the consideration given was $4.70$30,000, or $3.96 per share, based on the quoted trading price on the date of the Merger amountinggrants, which was fully vested and expensed over each monthly service period from April 2023 to $5,661,935 which is more clearly evident and more reliable measurement basis. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the acquisition date to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

As a result of the reverse merger, the total purchase consideration exceeded the net assets acquired. The Company recorded $6,094,760 of goodwill at the time of the merger. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The following table summarizes the consideration paid and the amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date:

Liabilities assumed (including a note payable – credit line of $1,096,504)  (3,541,868)
Net purchase price $5,661,935 

During the nine months ended January 31, 2018, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $6,094,760 as the Company determined that the carrying value of the goodwill is not recoverable. The Company has determined that if the business combination would have occurred on the first day of the reporting period there would not have been a material change to the continuing operations of the financial statements presented.

In June 2017, subsequent to the Merger, the Company decided to discontinue its memory product business. The Company sold the Dataram Memory business on October 13, 2017 for a purchase price of $900,000. The Company will focus its activities on its gold and precious metal exploration business. During the nine months ended January 31, 2018, the Company has received net proceeds from the sale of Dataram Memory business of $326,404 after payment of fees related to the sale such as legal and commission expenses and other liabilities assumed.

During the nine months ended January 31, 2018, the Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of liabilities of $248,684 which is included in the loss from discontinued operations as the Company has settled the distribution payable to the former Dataram Memory shareholders at an amount less than the liability originally recorded at the time of acquisition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital at January 31, 2024, compared to April 30, 2023, and the changes between those periods:

  January 31, 2024  April 30, 2023  Increase (decrease) 
Current Assets $3,031,715  $8,433,070  $(5,401,355)

Working Capital $2,742,978  $8,054,272  $(5,311,294)

As of January 31, 2018,2024, we had working capital of $2,742,978, as compared to working capital of $8,054,272 as of April 30, 2023, a decrease of $5,311,294.

We are obligated to file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) and the rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board have imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. We expect to spend between $175,000 and $250,000 in legal and accounting expenses annually to comply with our reporting obligations and Sarbanes-Oxley. These costs could affect profitability and our results of operations.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP and have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. For the nine months ended January 31, 2024 and 2023, we incurred net losses in the amounts of approximately $4,839,000 and $5,736,000, respectively. For the nine months ended January 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities was approximately $5,186,000. As of January 31, 2024, we had cash totalingof approximately $8,374,000. $2,637,000, working capital of approximately $2,743,000, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $70,789,000. Our primary source of operating funds since inception has been equity financings. As of January 31, 2024, we may have sufficient cash to fund our corporate activities and general and administrative costs and currently undertaken project activities related to permitting and engineering studies over the next twelve months. However, in order to advance any of our projects past the aforementioned objectives, we do not have sufficient cash and will need to raise additional funds. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities totaled approximately $6,262,000$5,186,000 and $2,930,000$6,401,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 20182024 and 2017,2023, respectively. Net loss forcash used in operating activities during the nine months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017 totaled2024, decreased primarily due to the i) decrease in net loss of approximately $12,478,000 and $3,685,000.

Netiii) decrease in changes in operating assets and liabilities are primarily dueof approximately $517,000 as compared to net changes in prepaid expenses and other current assets increased by approximately $405,000, and total accounts payable from unrelated parties and accrued liabilities increased by approximately $10,000.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities totaled approximately $306,000 and ($289,000) for the nine months ended January 31, 20182023 primarily due to accounts payable and 2017, respectively, whichaccrued liabilities.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended January 31, 2024 was $0. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended January 31, 2023 was approximately $2,572,000, primarily attributable to netfrom proceeds received from the sale of Maggie Creek of $2,750,000 related to the Dataram memory businessAssignment and Assumption Agreement dated on November 9, 2022 and offset by approximately $178,000 primarily for the acquisitionpurchase of mineral rights.property and equipment.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $7,509,000 and $10,457,000 forduring the nine months ended January 31, 20182024 and 2017, respectively. During the nine months ended2023 were both $0.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of January 31, 2018, financing activities consisted of net proceeds of approximately $2,590,000 from the sale of common stock and net proceeds of approximately $4,919,000 from the sale of common stock and warrants. During the nine months ended January 31, 2017, financing activities was primarily attributable to net proceeds from the sale of preferred stock, net of issuance cost, offset by repayments on related party advances and note payable.

The Company completed private placements to several investors for the sale of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $10.9 million between July 2016 and October 2016, received net proceeds from sale of the Company’s common stock of approximately $2.6 million between July 2017 and October 2017 and completed a private placement to several investors for the sale of the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock and warrants for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $4.9 million in January 2018. The Company is anticipating raising additional capital but there can be no assurance that it will be able to do so or if the terms will be favorable.

The above steps substantially lowered the Company’s potential cash exposure. Additionally, the Company is able to control cash spending on its exploration activities. As a result, as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Company believes its current cash position and plans have alleviated substantial doubt about its ability to sustain operations for at least one year from the issuance of these condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does2024, we did not have, and do not have any present plans to implement, any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting PoliciesEstimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, whichThere have been preparedno changes to our critical accounting policies or estimates during the nine months ended January 31, 2024. Critical accounting policies and the significant accounting estimates made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affectsuch policies are regularly discussed with the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparationAudit Committee of the financial statements.

UseCompany’s board of Estimatesdirectors. Those policies are discussed under “Critical Accounting Policies” in our “Management’s Discussion and Assumptions

In preparingAnalysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 7, as well as Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet, and revenues and expensesthereto, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period then ended. Actual results may differ significantly from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to valuation of mineral rights, goodwill, stock-based compensation,fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, filed with the fair value of common stock issued and the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for basedSEC on the requirements of the Share-Based Payment Topic of ASC 718 which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). ASC 718 also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Pursuant to ASC Topic 505-50, for share-based payments to consultants and other third-parties, compensation expense is determined at the measurement date which is the grant date. The expense is recognized over the vesting period of the award. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain.July 31, 2023.

Mineral Rights

Costs of lease, exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. The Company expenses all mineral exploration costs as incurred as it is still in the exploration stage. If the Company identifies proven and probable reserves in its investigation of its properties and upon development of a plan for operating a mine, it would enter the development stage and capitalize future costs until production is established.

When a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs are amortized on a units-of-production basis over the proven and probable reserves following the commencement of production. The Company assesses the carrying costs of the capitalized mineral properties for impairment under ASC 360-10, “Impairment of long-lived assets”, and evaluates its carrying value under ASC 930-360, “Extractive Activities - Mining”, annually. An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral properties. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral properties over its estimated fair value.

ASC 930-805, “Extractive Activities-Mining: Business Combinations” (“ASC 930-805”), states that mineral rights consist of the legal right to explore, extract, and retain at least a portion of the benefits from mineral deposits. Mining assets include mineral rights. Acquired mineral rights are considered tangible assets under ASC 930-805. ASC 930-805 requires that mineral rights be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. As a result, the direct costs to acquire mineral rights are initially capitalized as tangible assets. Mineral rights include costs associated with acquiring patented and unpatented mining claims.
