Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
|
a) Exploration Stage Company |
|
The Company is considered to be in the exploration stage. The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to exploring and identifying mineral properties suitable for development. |
|
b) Accounting Principles |
|
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to United States generally accepted accounting principles applicable to exploration stage enterprises. |
|
c) Mineral Property Exploration |
|
The Company is in the exploration stage and has not yet realized any revenue from its planned operations. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized. Additionally, mine development costs incurred either to develop new ore deposits and constructing new facilities are capitalized until operations commence. All such capitalized costs are amortized using a straight-line basis, based on the minimum original license term at acquisition, but do not exceed the useful life of the capitalized costs. Upon commercial development of an ore body, the applicable capitalized costs would then be amortized using the units-of-production method. Exploration costs, costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. The Company evaluates, at least quarterly, the carrying value of capitalized mining costs and related property, plant and equipment costs, if any, to determine if these costs are in excess of their net realizable value and if a permanent impairment needs to be recorded. The periodic evaluation of carrying value of capitalized costs and any related property, plant and equipment costs are based upon expected cash flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with guidance issued by the FASB, "Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." |
|
d) Foreign Currency Translation |
The Company's functional and reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. All transactions initiated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with guidelines issued by the FASB as follows: |
i) monetary assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date; |
ii) non-monetary assets at historical rates; and |
iii) revenue and expense items at the average rate of exchange prevailing during the period. |
Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the statement of operations. |
As of August 31, 2014, the Company only operates in the United States. |
|
e) Cash and Cash Equivalents |
|
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, saving accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. |
|
f) Use of Estimates |
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those reported. |
|
g) Accounts receivable and concentration of credit risk |
|
The Company currently has no accounts receivable, no customers, and therefore, does not currently foresee a concentrated credit risk associated with trade receivables. If and when the Company commences operations that generate revenue, the Company will evaluate the receivable in light of the collectability in the normal course of business. |
|
h) Loss per Common Share |
|
Net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Potential common shares includable in the computation of fully diluted per share results are not presented in the financial statements as their effect would be anti-dilutive. |
|
i) Reclassifications |
|
Certain prior year financial statement balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the recorded net loss. |
|
j) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements |
|
There are several new accounting pronouncement issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or operating results. |
