| 1 | Nature of Operations and Going Concern | ||
| Contact Minerals Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 25, 2007. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, Development Stage Enterprises . The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Company does not currently own any mineral properties. | |||
| These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenue and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploitation of economically recoverable reserves in the prospective properties, the confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at April 30, 2014, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $180,451 and has accumulated losses of $848,991 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to continue to review and assess new mineral exploration or development projects for acquisition. The Company intends to fund these activities through debt and equity financing arrangements. There is no assurance that the Company will obtain the necessary financing to complete its objectives. | |||

| The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions for Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Form 10-Q and they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended July 31, 2013, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on October 22, 2013, with the SEC. | |||

| 5 | Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||
| ASC 825, Financial Instruments , requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value: | ||||||||||||||||
| Level 1 | ||||||||||||||||
| Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | ||||||||||||||||
| Level 2 | ||||||||||||||||
| Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. | ||||||||||||||||
| Level 3 | ||||||||||||||||
| Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. | ||||||||||||||||
| The financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, and due to related parties. The fair value of cash when applicable is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations. | ||||||||||||||||
| Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013 as follows: | ||||||||||||||||

| Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. | ||||||||||||||||
