Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by Red Metal Resources Ltd. contains forward-looking statements. These are statements regarding financial and operating performance and results and other statements that are not historical facts. The words “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “forecast,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Certain important risks could cause results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the forward-looking statements. Some, but not all, of these risks include, among other things:
·
general economic conditions, because they may affect our ability to raise money;
·
our ability to raise enough money to continue our operations;
·
changes in regulatory requirements that adversely affect our business;
·
changes in the prices for minerals that adversely affect our business;
·
political changes in Chile, which could affect our interests there; and / or
·
other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.
We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s view only as of the date of this report. We are not obligated to update these statements or publicly release the results of any revisions to them to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should refer to, and carefully review, the information in future documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
General
You should read this discussion and analysis in conjunction with our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2016. The inclusion of supplementary analytical and related information may require us to make estimates and assumptions to enable us to fairly present, in all material respects, our analysis of trends and expectations with respect to our results of operations and financial position taken as a whole. Actual results may vary from the estimates and assumptions we make.
Overview
Red Metal Resources Ltd. (“Red Metal”, or the “Company”) is a mineral exploration company engaged in locating, and eventually developing, mineral resources in Chile. Our business strategy is to identify, acquire and explore prospective mineral claims with a view to either developing them ourselves or, more likely, finding a joint venture partner with the mining experience and financial means to undertake the development. All of our claims are in the Candelaria IOCG belt in the Chilean Coastal Cordillera.
Consistent with our historical practices, we continue to monitor our costs in Chile by reviewing our mineral claims to determine whether they possess the geological indicators to economically justify the capital to maintain or explore them. Currently, our subsidiary, Minera Polymet SpA, has one employee in Chile and engages independent consultants on as needed basis. Most of our support - such as vehicles, office and equipment - is supplied under short-term contracts. The only long-term commitments that we have are for royalty payments on four of our mineral claims - Farellon Alto 1-8, Quina 1 - 56, Exeter 1 - 54, and Che. These royalties are payable once exploitation begins. We are also required to pay property taxes that are due annually on all the claims that are included in our properties.
The cost and timing of all planned exploration programs are subject to the availability of qualified mining personnel, such as consulting geologists, geo-technicians and drillers, and drilling equipment. Although Chile has a well-trained and qualified mining workforce from which to draw and few early-stage companies such as ours are competing for the available resources, if we are unable to find the personnel and equipment that we need when we need them and at the prices that we have estimated today, we might have to revise or postpone our plans.

Recent Corporate Events
The following corporate developments have occurred during the first quarter ended April 30, 2016, and up to the date of the filing of this report:
Option to acquire Exeter Claim
On May 19, 2016, we made a second $25,000 option payment to acquire 100% interest in the Exeter Claim pursuant to our option agreement with Minera Stamford S.A. For further information about this transaction, see the discussion titled “Option to Acquire Exeter Claim” included in the “Unproved Mineral Properties” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Farellon Property Production
As of April 30, 2016, the production on Farellon Alto 1 - 8 claim was carried out within the sulphide zone with copper, silver and gold being sold to ENAMI (the Chilean national mining company).

During the past eight fiscal quarters we maintained our exploration and operating activities at low levels. Following are the most significant events that affected our quarterly financial results:
·
During the quarter ended January 31, 2016, we recorded $158,141 when we fully impaired our Mateo Property and Cecil Claim.
·
During the quarter ended October 31, 2015, we completed restructuring of our Chilean subsidiary, Minera Polymet, from a Limited Liability Company to a Closed Stock Corporation. During the same period, we continued renting our Farellon Alto 1 - 8 claim to a third-party, who was carrying out a small scale mining operation on the claim, which resulted in royalty payments we received of $4,140.
·
During the quarter ended July 31, 2015, we increased royalties payable to us on the minerals extracted during the small scale mining operations that were carried out by the third-party on our Farellon Property, which resulted in $10,007 in royalty payments we received during the period.
Selected Financial Results
THREE MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2016 AND 2015
Our operating results for the three month periods ended April 30, 2016 and 2015, and the changes in the operating results between those periods are summarized in Table 4.

Revenue. We did not generate any revenue during the three month periods ended April 30, 2016 and 2015. Due to the exploration rather than the production nature of our business, we do not expect to have significant operating revenue in the foreseeable future.
Operating expenses. Our operating expenses decreased by $13,334, or 14%, from $93,443 for the three month period ended April 30, 2015 to $80,109 for the three month period ended April 30, 2016. Since we kept our operating activities at low level the change in the operating expenses during the period ended April 30, 2016 was associated mainly with decrease in consulting and legal fees. These costs were offset by increases in interest we accrued on notes payable we issued to related and non-related parties, as well as increases in administrative fees incurred by our Subsidiary.
11
Our operating expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2016 and 2015 consisted of the following:

The most significant year-to-date changes included the following:
·
During the three months ended April 30, 2016 our consulting fees decreased by 50% or $15,000, from $30,000 we incurred during the three months ended April 30, 2015 to $15,000 we incurred during the three months ended April 30, 2016. In addition, our professional and regulatory fees decreased by $2,680 or 129%, and $2,067 or 72%, respectively. These reductions were associated with our decreased business activity during the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q, and with our continued efforts to control our overhead costs.
·
To continue our operations we were required to incur additional debt with our debt holders, which resulted in $3,608 increase to the interest we accrued on our notes payable.
·
During the three months ended April 30, 2015 we wrote down a claim within our Mateo Property, which resulted in the write off of the cash acquisition fees totaling $3,401. We did not have similar expenses during the three months ended April 30, 2016.
·
Our salaries and wages increased by $2,741; this increased was mainly associated with the foreign exchange fluctuation, as the salaries are incurred by our Chilean Subsidiary, whose functional currency is Chilean Peso.
Other income. During the three month period ended April 30, 2016, we continued renting our Farellon Alto 1-8 claim to Mr. Mitchell, who was carrying out a small scale mining operation on the claim. Pursuant to our rental agreement, Mr. Mitchell was obligated to pay us 5% royalty on the amounts generated from the net smelter returns. In June 2015 we reached a verbal agreement with Mr. Mitchell to increase the royalty payable to us from net smelter returns from the Farellon Alto 1-8 claim from 5% to 10%. As such, the royalty payments we received increased by $4,797, or 162% from $2,959 we received during the three month period ended April 30, 2015 to $7,756 we received during the three month period ended April 30, 2016. For additional information, refer to the “Unproved Mineral Properties” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Comprehensive loss. Our comprehensive loss for the three month period ended April 30, 2016 was $158,457 as compared to the comprehensive loss of $121,099 we recorded for the three month period ended April 30, 2015. The $37,358 increase in comprehensive loss was mainly associated with the foreign exchange translation associated with revaluation of the transactions denominated in other than our functional currencies.

As of April 30, 2016, we had a cash balance of $10,337, our working capital was represented by a deficit of $2,325,068 and cash flows used in operations totaled $29,813 for the period then ended. During the three month period ended April 30, 2016, we funded our operations with $28,979 in loans we received from our related parties and $11,533 in loans with Mr. Mitchell. See “Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities.”
We did not generate sufficient cash flows from our operating activities to satisfy our cash requirements for the three month period ended April 30, 2016. The amount of cash that we have generated from our operations to date is significantly less than our current debt obligations, including our debt obligations under our notes and advances payable. There is no assurance that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from our operations to repay the amounts owing under these notes and advances payable, or to service our other debt obligations. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from our operations to repay the amounts owing when due, we may be required to raise additional financing from other sources.

Net cash used in operating activities. During the three months ended April 30, 2016, we used net cash of $29,813 in operating activities. We used $57,315 to cover our cash operating costs. These uses of cash were offset by decrease in our prepaid expenses and other receivables of $384, increases in accounts payable and amounts due to related parties of $119 and $20,993 and accrued liabilities of $6,006.
During the three months ended April 30, 2015, we used net cash of $101,476 in operating activities. We used $76,038 to cover our cash operating costs, increase our prepaid expenses by $5,275, and reduce our accounts payable and amounts due to related parties by $19,860 and $11,551, respectively. These uses of cash were offset in part by increase in our accrued liabilities of $11,248.
Certain non-cash changes included in the net loss for the period. During the three months ended April 30, 2016, we recorded $14,799 in interest accrued on outstanding notes payable.
During the three months ended April 30, 2015, we impaired our mineral property acquisition costs by $3,401. In addition, we recorded $10,689 in interest accrued on outstanding notes payable.
Net cash used in investing activities. During the three months ended April 30, 2016, we spent $1,878 paying 2016 - 2017 mineral property taxes and other regulatory fees on several exploration claims within our Perth and Farellon Properties.
13
During the three months ended April 30, 2015, we spent $276 paying 2015 - 2016 mineral property taxes on a mineral claim within our Farellon Property.
Net cash provided by financing activities. During the three months ended April 30, 2016, we borrowed $24,000 from our significant shareholder, and $3,050 and $1,929 (CAD$2,502) from our CEO. In addition, we borrowed $11,533 (7,808,563 Chilean Pesos) from Mr. Kevin Mitchell. The loans are unsecured, payable on demand and bear interest at 8% per annum, compounded monthly.
During the three months ended April 30, 2015, we borrowed $90,000 and $12,392 (CAD$15,000) from a significant shareholder and $2,599 (CAD$3,150) from our CEO.
Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that we will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not generated any significant revenues from mineral sales since inception, have never paid any dividends and are unlikely to pay dividends or generate significant earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. Our continuation as a going concern depends upon the continued financial support of our shareholders, our ability to obtain necessary debt or equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow depends upon our ability to locate profitable mineral claims, generate revenue from mineral production and control our production costs. Based upon our current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods, which we plan to mitigate by controlling our operating costs and by sharing mineral exploration expenses through joint venture agreements, if possible. At April 30, 2016, we had a working capital deficit of $2,325,068 and accumulated losses of $8,598,274 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate significant revenues in the future. Our consolidated interim financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments that would be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in our financial statements.

Farellon Property.
On May 23, 2013, we entered into a rental agreement with Minera Farellon Limitada (“Minera Farellon”), to allow Minera Farellon to conduct certain exploration and mining activities on the Farellon Claim in exchange for a 10% royalty on gross smelter returns. This agreement was amended on June 5, 2014, when Polymet gave the permission to conduct certain exploration and mining activities on Farellon Alto 1 - 6 claims directly to Kevin Mitchell, leaving Minera Farellon the right to work on Farellon Alto 7 - 8 claims. On October 21, 2014, the agreement was further amended to transfer the right to mine Farellon Alto 7 - 8 claims from Minera Farellon to Kevin Mitchell. In addition, the Company decreased the royalty on gross smelter returns payable by Mr. Mitchell from initial 10% to 5%. The 10% royalty was reinstated as of June 2015.
15
On December 9, 2013, in anticipation of exploration and mining activities carried out by Mr. Mitchell and Minera Farellon, we amended our option agreement with the vendor of Farellon Alto 1 - 8 Claim (the “Amended Agreement”) to allow us to carry out the exploration and mining activities without triggering the requirement to start paying a 1.5% royalty from the net proceeds to a maximum of $600,000 with a monthly minimum of $1,000 contemplated under the option agreement to acquire the Farellon Alto 1 - 8 Claim. The Amended Agreement allows us to work on the Farellon Alto 1 - 8 Claim, while paying the Vendor 5% royalty on net smelter returns maintaining a monthly minimum of $1,000 (the “Amended Royalty”); however, we can stop the exploration of the Farellon Alto 1 - 8 Claim at any time, which will cease our requirement to continue paying the Amended Royalty.
The work done on the Farellon Alto 1-8 claim by Mr. Mitchell resulted in $7,756 in royalty payments from gross smelter returns during the three month period ended April 30, 2016. At the same time we paid the original vendor of the Farellon Alto 1-8 claim $4,312 in royalty payments required under the amended option agreement to acquire the claim.
Option to Acquire Quina Claim
On December 15, 2014, we entered into an option agreement with David Marcus Mitchell to earn 100% interest in the Quina 1-56 clam (the “Quina Claim”). In order to acquire the 100% interest in the Quina Claim, we are required to pay a total of $150,000, which we can pay in a combination of shares of our common stock and cash over four years, as detailed in the following schedule:
Date | Option Payment | |
Upon execution of the Option Agreement (“Execution date”) (paid) | $ | 25,000 |
12 months subsequent to the Execution date (paid) |
| 25,000 |
24 months subsequent to the Execution date |
| 25,000 |
36 months subsequent to the Execution date |
| 25,000 |
48 months subsequent to the Execution date |
| 50,000 |
Total | $ | 150,000 |
In addition to the option payments, the vendor will retain a 1.5% royalty from net smelter returns (“NSR”) on the Quina Claim, and we will have the right to buy out the royalty for a one-time payment of $1,500,000 any time after acquiring 100% of the Quina Claim.
Option to Acquire Exeter Claim
On June 3, 2015, we entered into an option agreement, made effective on June 15, 2015, with Minera Stamford S.A., to earn 100% interest in a mining claim Exeter 1-54 (the “Exeter Claim”). In order to acquire 100% interest in the Exeter Claim, we are required to pay a total of $150,000 as detailed in the following schedule:
| Option Payment | |
Upon execution of the Option Agreement (paid) | $ | 25,000 |
On or before May 12, 2016 (paid) |
| 25,000 |
On or before May 12, 2017 |
| 25,000 |
On or before May 12, 2018 |
| 25,000 |
On or before May 12, 2019 |
| 50,000 |
Total | $ | 150,000 |
In addition to the option payments, the vendor will retain a 1.5% NSR on the Exeter Claim and we will have the right to buy out the royalty for a one-time payment of $750,000 any time after acquiring 100% of the Exeter Claim. Should we decide to mine the Exeter Claim prior to acquiring the option, we will be obligated to pay a minimum monthly royalty of $2,500 up to 5,000 tonnes, and a further $0.25 for every additional tonne mined.
16
Capital Resources
Our ability to acquire and explore our Chilean claims is subject to our ability to obtain the necessary funding. We expect to raise funds through loans from private or affiliated persons and through sales of our debt or equity securities. We have no committed sources of capital. If we are unable to raise funds as and when we need them, we may be required to curtail, or even to cease, our operations.
Contingencies and Commitments
We had no contingencies at April 30, 2016.
As of the date of the filing this Quarterly Report we have the following long-term contractual obligations and commitments:
·
Farellon royalty. We are committed to paying the vendor a royalty equal to 1.5% on the net sales of minerals extracted from the Farellon Alto 1 - 8 claim up to a total of $600,000. The royalty payments are due monthly and are subject to minimum payments of $1,000 per month.
·
Quina royalty. We are committed to paying a royalty equal to 1.5% on the net sales of minerals extracted from the Quina claim. The royalty payments are due semi-annually once commercial production begins, and are not subject to minimum payments.
·
Exeter royalty. We are committed to paying a royalty equal to 1.5% on the net sales of minerals extracted from the Exeter claim. The royalty payments are due semi-annually once commercial production begins, and are not subject to minimum payments. Should we decide to mine the Exeter claim prior to acquiring the option, we will be obligated to pay a minimum monthly royalty of $2,500 up to 5,000 tonnes, and a further $0.25 for every additional tonne mined.
·
Che royalty. We are committed to paying a royalty equal to 1% of the net sales of minerals extracted from the claims to a maximum of $100,000 to the former owner. The royalty payments are due monthly once exploitation begins, and are not subject to minimum payments.
·
Mineral property taxes. To keep our mineral claims in good standing we are required to pay mineral property taxes of approximately $35,000 per annum.
Equity Financing
During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we did not engage in financing of our operations through issuance of our equity securities and relied solely on the debt financing.
Based on our operating plan, we anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future and will require additional equity capital to support our operations and develop our business plan. If we succeed in completing future equity financings, the issuance of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders.
Debt Financing
During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we borrowed a total of $53,979 from related parties and $11,533 from an unrelated party. The loans are unsecured, due on demand, with interest payable at a rate of 8% per annum.
Challenges and Risks
Over the next twelve months we anticipate generating cash through royalty payments pursuant to our rental agreement with Mr. Mitchell. This cash will not be adequate to support our current operations. We plan to continue funding our operations through any combination of equity or debt financing from the sale of our securities, private loans, joint ventures or through the sale of part interest in our mineral properties. Although we have succeeded in raising funds as we needed them, we cannot assure you that this will continue in the future. Many things, such as the continued general worldwide downturn of the economy or a significant decrease in the price of minerals, could affect the willingness of potential investors to invest in risky ventures such as ours. We may consider entering into joint venture partnerships with other resource companies to complete a mineral exploration programs on our properties in Chile. If we enter into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in our mineral claims to our joint venture partner in exchange for the funding.
17
As at April 30, 2016, we owed approximately $1.8 million to related parties for loans and services that have been provided to us. We do not have the funds to pay this debt therefore we may decide to partially pay this debt with shares of our common stock. Because of the low price of our common stock, the issuance of the shares to pay the debt will likely result in substantial dilution to the percentage of outstanding shares of our common stock held by our existing shareholders.
Investments in and Expenditures on Mineral Interests
Realization of our investments in mineral properties depends upon our maintaining legal ownership, producing from the properties or gainfully disposing of them.
Title to mineral claims involves risks inherent in the difficulties of determining the validity of claims as well as the potential for problems arising from the ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral claims. Our contracts and deeds have been notarized, recorded in the registry of mines and published in the mining bulletin. We review the mining bulletin regularly to discover whether other parties have staked claims over our ground. We have discovered no such claims. To the best of our knowledge, we have taken the steps necessary to ensure that we have good title to our mineral claims.
Foreign Exchange
We are subject to foreign exchange risk associated with transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currency risk arises from the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates relative to the United States dollar. We do not believe that we have any material risk due to foreign currency exchange.
Trends, Events or Uncertainties that May Impact Results of Operations or Liquidity
The economic crisis in the United States and the resulting economic uncertainty and market instability may make it harder for us to raise capital as and when we need it and have made it difficult for us to assess the impact of the crisis on our operations or liquidity and to determine if the prices we will receive on the sale of minerals will exceed the cost of mineral exploitation. If we are unable to raise cash, we may be required to cease our operations. Other than as discussed in this report, we know of no other trends, events or uncertainties that have or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on our short-term or long-term liquidity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements and no non-consolidated, special-purpose entities.
Related-Party Transactions
During the three month period ended April 30, 2016, and up to the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we have entered into the following transactions with the directors, executive officers, or holders of more than 5% of our common stock, or members of their immediate families:
Loans from Richard N. Jeffs
During the three month period ended April 30, 2016, we borrowed from Richard N. Jeffs, our major shareholder, $24,000. The loan is subject to 8% interest compounded monthly, is unsecured and due on demand. As of April 30, 2016, we were indebted to Mr. Jeffs in the amount of $334,750 (January 31, 2016 - $301,360), consisting of the full principal of all advances made by Mr. Jeffs to that date plus accrued interest of $39,344 (January 31, 2016 - $33,053) and $36,395 (January 31, 2016 - $33,631) for services. Subsequent to April 30, 2016, Mr. Jeffs advanced to us an additional $25,000, bringing the total principal amount payable to Mr. Jeffs under the loan agreements with him to $320,406.
18
Loans from Caitlin L. Jeffs
During the three month period ended April 30, 2016, we borrowed from Caitlin L. Jeffs, our Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and a member of our Board of Directors $3,050 and $1,929 (CAD$2,502). The loans are subject to 8% interest compounded monthly, are unsecured and due on demand. As of April 30, 2016, we were indebted to Ms. Jeffs in the amount of $293,503 (January 31, 2016 - $257,081), consisting of the full principal of all advances made by Ms. Jeffs to that date plus accrued interest of $62,415 (January 31, 2016 - $51,572).

Critical Accounting Estimates
Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain of the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected. The most significant estimates with regard to these financial statements relate to carrying values of unproved mineral properties, determination of fair values of stock-based transactions, and deferred income tax rates.
