NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q under Article 8.03 of Regulation S-X. These statements do not include all of the information and notes to the financial statements required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with Securities and Exchange Commission.
Going Concern:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has a working deficit and has generated only $531,126 in revenues since inception. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred a net loss of $636,311 and as of March 31, 2014 has an accumulated deficit of $5,930,447. Further, the Company has inadequate working capital to maintain or develop its operations, and is dependent upon funds from private investors and the support of certain stockholders. 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 result from the outcome of these uncertainties. In this regard, Management is planning to raise any necessary additional funds through loans or additional sales of its common stock. There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital.
The Company's ability to meet its obligations and continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing, achievement of profitable operations and/or the discovery, exploration, development and sale of mining reserves. The Company cannot reasonably be expected to earn revenue in the exploration stage of operations. Although the Company plans to pursue additional financing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure financing when needed or to obtain such financing on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all. Should management fail to raise sufficient financing, the Company may curtail its operations.

Fair Value Measurements
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure the fair value. Level inputs, as defined by ASC 820-10, are as follows:
Level 1 - quoted in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.

Unaudited
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use to price the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company’s notes payable approximates fair value based on the prevailing interest rates
The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These warrants and convertible notes are considered derivatives because the conversion prices are variable and the Company does not have enough authorized common stock to satisfy the convertible notes and warrants.

NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On August 31, 2011, SRC and Innocent, Inc. negotiated a formal Termination of the Joint Venture Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) of the Joint Venture Agreement established to fund the development of the Mineral Hill Project. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement SRC acknowledges its obligation to repay $540,000 paid to date by INCT to SRC under the terms of the JV Agreement. The Termination Agreement also allows SRC the option to assume the $540,000 owed to INCT note holders on terms negotiated between SRC and the note holders.
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters in the ordinary course of business. Except for the matter described below, the Company is not aware of any such matters.
SRC was named in an amended complaint filed in District Court, Clark County Nevada, by Phyllis Wynn, individually and as the trustee for the Phyllis Wynn Family Trust. The Complaint appears to name approximately 81 defendants including Steele Recording Corporation. The Amended Complaint was filed September 23, 2009. It alleges 17 causes of actions including breach of contract and fraud against various other defendants and fraudulent conveyance to SRC and its former President and CEO Marlon Steele. The substance of the Complaint involves a real estate transaction not involving SRC. We have been informed by Mr. Steele that he does not believe the Plaintiff will prevail as to her claims regarding SRC and has answered with affirmative defenses including but not limited to the defense that the injuries and damages complained of did not occur as the result of any action on the part of SRC but as the sole, direct and proximate result of actions by Plaintiff and third parties not otherwise related to SRC. The litigation remains in the discovery stages. A former officer of SRC has agreed to indemnify the Company from any eventual costs or loss from this lawsuit.
The Company became aware that a shareholder paid $57,000 of tenant improvements in an office that the Company never occupied. The $57,000 was recorded as an accrued liability in anticipation of occupying the space in December 2010. Subsequently the Company elected to not occupy the space eliminating the potential obligation to amortize the cost of the improvement over the course of the lease. We have adjusted the $57,000 to Additional Paid in Capital.
The Company does not have enough shares authorized to convert all the debt obligations currently owed. The Company could need at least 400,000,000 common shares to satisfy the Asher Enterprises conversion and the Benison Convertible notes which could convert at $.0008. It would exceed its authorized shares and the Company is assessing the next legal course of action to resolve this matter.
NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 8, 2014 the Company granted 101,616,375 common stock for the conversion of debt totaling $81,295.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Management’s Discussion and Analysis contains various “forward looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, regarding future events or the future financial performance of the Company that involve risks and uncertainties. Certain statements included in this Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements related to anticipated cash flow sources and uses, and words including but not limited to “anticipates”, “believes”, “plans”, “expects”, “future” and similar statements or expressions, identify forward looking statements. Any forward-looking statements herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business, including but not limited to, reliance on key customers and competition in its markets, market demand, product performance, technological developments, maintenance of relationships with key suppliers, difficulties of hiring or retaining key personnel, any changes in current accounting rules, and future regulatory or legislative actions (including additional taxes, changes in environmental regulation, and disclosure requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform, Consumer Protection Act and the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012), all of which may be beyond the control of the Company. The Company adopted at management’s discretion, the most conservative recognition of revenue based on the most astringent guidelines of the SEC in terms of recognition of revenue. Management will elect additional changes to revenue recognition to comply with the most conservative SEC recognition on a forward going accrual basis as the model is replicated with other similar markets (i.e. SBDC). The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth therein. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors and risks that could affect our results and achievements and cause them to materially differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements include those identified in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as well as other factors that we are currently unable to identify or quantify, but that may exist in the future. In addition, the foregoing factors may affect generally our business, results of operations and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. We do not undertake and specifically decline any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
Our Business
Our exploration target is to find exploitable minerals on our properties. Our success depends on achieving that target. There is the likelihood of our mineral claims containing little or no economic mineralization or reserves of gold and other minerals. There is the possibility that our claims do not contain any reserves and funds that we spend on exploration will be lost. Even if we complete our current exploration program and are successful in identifying a mineral deposit we will be required to expend substantial funds to bring our claim to production. We are unable to assure you we will be able to raise the additional funds necessary to implement any future exploration or extraction program even if mineralization is found.
12
In an effort to create and expand shareholder value, Management has entered into discussions with parties outside of the mining industry, who might be interested in building alternative business opportunities utilizing the Company’s existing skills and resources. In October of 2013, our company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Steele Resources, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“SRI”) , entered into a Joint Venture with 2nd Wave Strategies, Inc., a Florida based company that develops consumer products primarily in the wellness and sports nutrition marketplace. Among other requirements, the terms of the Joint Venture are contingent upon our company completing timely filing of its reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission; modifying its capital structure and balance sheet, and accessing a minimum of $1 million in working capital for the Joint Venture on acceptable terms. There is no guarantee management will be successful in achieving these requirements.
Going Concern
The report of our independent registered public accounting firm contains explanatory language that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. There is no assurance we will ever reach that point.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Significant accounting policies are as follows:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Exploration Stage Enterprise
The Company's financial statements are prepared pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 26 “Accounting for Development Stage Enterprises,” as it devotes substantially all of its efforts to acquiring and exploring mining interests that will eventually provide sufficient net profits to sustain the Company’s existence. Until such interests are engaged in major commercial production, the Company will continue to prepare its financial statements and related disclosures in accordance with entities in the development stage. Mining companies subject to ASC Topic 26 are required to label their financial statements as an “Exploratory Stage Company,” pursuant to guidance provided by SEC Guide 7 for Mining Companies.
Mineral Properties
Significant payments related to the acquisition of mineral properties, mineral rights, and mineral leases are capitalized. If a commercially mineable ore body is discovered, such costs are amortized when production begins using the units-of-production method based on proven and probable reserves. If no commercially mineable ore body is discovered, or such rights are otherwise determined to have no value, such costs are expensed in the period in which it is determined the property has no future economic value.
13
Property Evaluations
Management of the Company will periodically review the net carrying value of its properties on a property-by-property basis. These reviews will consider the net realizable value of each property to determine whether a permanent impairment in value has occurred and the need for any asset write-down. An impairment loss will be recognized when the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest) expected to result from the use of an asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset. Measurement of an impairment loss will be based on the estimated fair value of the asset if the asset is expected to be held and used.
Although management will make its best estimate of the factors that affect net realizable value based on current conditions, it is reasonably possible that changes could occur in the near term which could adversely affect management's estimate of net cash flows expected to be generated from its assets, and necessitate asset impairment write-downs.
Mineral property rights
All direct costs related to the acquisition of mineral property rights are capitalized. Exploration costs are charged to operations in the period incurred until such time as it has been determined that a property has economically recoverable reserves, at which time subsequent exploration costs and the costs incurred to develop a property are capitalized. The Company reviews the carrying values of its mineral property rights whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may exceed their estimated net recoverable amounts. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of those assets is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.
At such time as commercial production may commence, depletion of each mining property will be provided on a unit-of-production basis using estimated proven and probable recoverable reserves as the depletion base. In cases where there are no proven or probable reserves, depletion will be provided on the straight-line basis over the expected economic life of the mine.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with ASC Topic 365, long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangibles, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Goodwill and other intangible assets are tested for impairment. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company applies Topic 718 “Share-Based Payments” (“Topic 718”) to share-based compensation, which requires the measurement of the cost of services received in exchange for an award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost is recognized when the event occurs. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model is used to estimate the fair value of options granted. There are 1,617,500 warrants granted as of December 31, 2013.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
No accounting standards or interpretations issued recently are expected to a have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.
14
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources and would be considered material to investors. Certain officers and directors of the Company have provided personal guarantees to our various lenders as required for the extension of credit to the Company.
Accounting policies subject to estimation and judgment
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. When preparing our financial statements, we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts on our balance sheets and income statements, and our related disclosure about contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue, allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for income taxes, and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, which we believe to be reasonable in order to form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily ascertained from other sources. Actual results may deviate from these estimates if alternative assumptions or condition are used.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND OPERATIONS
We are a junior mining and exploration company identifying and acquiring properties integrated with placer ore and hard rock mineralization in geo-politically stable regions. Management continues to focus all efforts on the Steeple Rock Mining District of New Mexico.
Results of Operation
We are an exploration stage company acquiring mineral properties or claims located in the State of Arizona, USA. The recoverability of amounts from the properties or claims will be dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of our interest in the underlying properties and/or claims, our ability to obtain necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property and/or claim agreements and to complete the development of the properties and/or claims, and upon future profitable production or proceeds for the sale thereof. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we generated $0 revenue. Our future revenue plan is uncertain and is dependent on our ability to effectively mine our products, generate sales, and obtain contract mining opportunities. There are no assurances of our ability to begin to mine our claim. The expenditures for mining are cost intensive so it is critical for us to raise sufficient capital to implement our business plan. We incurred a net loss of $636,311 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and a loss of $637,883 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Three months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Three months Ended March 31, 2013
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we generated $0 revenue. Our future revenue plan is still uncertain as we are in an early testing and exploration phase and are still dependent on our ability to effectively and economically mine gold. We incurred losses of $636,211 and $637,883 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Our general and administrative expenses were $40,214 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase is primarily related increase in operations for the quarter.
15
Our interest expense were $26,178 and $61,333 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decreases are primarily attributable to the amortization of note discount in 2013 and conversion of debt from prior periods that reduced our interest expense.
Our change in derivative value was $569,919 and $576,550 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase was in accordance with ASC 815-10-35 the Company recognized income for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $5,239 compared to $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in cash used in operations was primarily attributable to our mining activities and payments made to the professionals during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect the liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

ITEM 4 - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the controls and procedures would meet their objectives. As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the three months ended March 31, 2014 mainly due to lack of segregation of duties.
Management has identified control deficiencies regarding the lack of segregation of duties and the need for a stronger internal control environment. Our management believes that these material weaknesses are due to the small size of our accounting staff. The small size of our accounting staff may prevent adequate controls in the future, such as segregation of duties, due to the high cost of such remediation relative the benefit expected to be derived thereby.
16
We plan to resolve the segregation of duties issue by naming a CFO or new company officer that will resolve any issues surrounding segregation of duties.
In the interim period, to mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of external legal and accounting professionals. As we grow, we expect to create a new finance and accounting position that will allow for proper segregation of duties consistent with control objectives, and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function. As our financing staff grows we will prepare and implement appropriate written policies and checklists which set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the duties within the internal control framework. These current control deficiencies could result in a misstatement of account balances that would result in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to our consolidated financial statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies as described above together constitute a material weakness.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
