Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock. All material risk factors have been addressed. Risks associated with Idaho North Resources Corp.:
Risks Related to Our Business
1. Our plan of operation is limited to finding an ore body. As such we have no plans for revenue generation. Accordingly, you should not expect any revenues from our current operations.
Our plan of operation is to conduct exploration activities in order to determine if an ore body exists below the surface of the ground. Exploration does not contemplate removal of the ore. We have no plans or funds for ore removal. Accordingly, we will not generate any revenues as a result of your investment.
2. Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost.
The probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote. In all probability the claims do not contain any reserves. Consequently, any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost which result in a loss of your investment.
3. We lack an operating history and have a loss which we expect to continue into the future. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
We were incorporated on January 22, 2007 and we have limited operations. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss during the since inception on January 22, 2007 has been ($177,502).
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the exploration of our mineral properties. As a result, we may not generate revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to suspend or cease operations.
4. Because our officers and directors have no direct training in exploring for, starting, and operating an exploration program, their decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral exploration companies commonly use. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease activities which will result in the loss of your investment.
Our officers and directors have no direct training or experience in the area of exploring for, starting, and operating and exploration program and as a result may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within the industry. Their decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral exploration companies commonly use. Consequently our activities, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to his lack of experience in this industry. As a result we may have to suspend or cease activities which will result in the loss of your investment.
5. Because we are small and do not have much capital, we may have to limit our exploration activity which may result in a loss of your investment.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration activity. As such we may not be able to complete an exploration program that is as thorough as we would like. Consequently, an existing ore body may go undiscovered. Without an ore body, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment.
6. Because our officers and directors have other outside business activities and will only be devoting 25% of their time or approximately ten hours per week to our activities, our activities may be sporadic which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of exploration.
Because our officers and directors have other outside business activities and will be only be devoting 25% of their time or ten hours each per week to our activities, our activities may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to them. As a result, exploration of the claims may be periodically interrupted or suspended.
7. Because we lease our mining properties from a third party, if the third party defaults on his obligations to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) we will lose the right to conduct exploration activities.
We lease our mining claims from a third party. The third party staked his claims on federal land. As such, his claims are subject to the rules and regulations of the BLM. If the third party should default on his obligations to the BLM, the BLM could terminate his claims. If that occurs, our rights under our leases with the third party will terminate and we will have no right to conduction exploration activities.
8. Title to the properties we intend to conduct exploration activity on, could be defective in which case we may not have the right to extract any minerals.
It is customary in the mining business that upon acquiring an interest in a property, that a title report be rendered by an attorney. We have not obtained such a title report, and accordingly may not own any right to remove any minerals, should they be discovered, from the leased property.
9. Operating and environmental hazards could have a negative impact on our operations.
Hazards incident to the operation of mining properties and unforeseen conditions, may be encountered by us if we participate in our exploration activities. Further, on occasion, substantial liabilities to third parties or governmental entities may be incurred. We could be subject to liability for pollution and other damages or hazards which cannot be insured against or which have not been insured against due to prohibitive premium costs or for other reasons. We currently do not maintain any insurance for environmental damages. Governmental regulations relating to environmental matters could also increase the cost of doing business or require alteration or cessation of operations in certain areas.
10. We are subject to many governmental regulations which affect our cost of doing business.
Our mining operations are subject to extensive regulation governing development, production, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, use of toxic substances, environmental regulations, mine safety and other matters. Some jurisdictions also require or may in the future require the payment of royalties. Changes in regulations can have material impacts on anticipated levels of production, costs and profitability. It is possible that exploration, development or operation of a mine may be delayed or terminated as a result of the inability to obtain all required permits and government approvals on an economic basis, or the imposition of royalty payments or other government regulations.
Risks Related to this Offering
11. Because there is no public trading market for our common stock, you may not be able to resell your stock, and as a result, your investment is illiquid.
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock. Therefore there is no central place, such as stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell your shares. If you want to resell your shares, you will have to locate a buyer and negotiate your own sale. Your investment is illiquid and there is no assurance that you will ever be able to resell your shares.
12. Because we may issue additional shares of common stock, your investment could be subject to substantial dilution.
We anticipate that any additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock as well as issuing up to 1,462,500 shares of common stock upon the exercise of our Redeemable Warrants. In the future, if we issue more common stock, your investment could be subject to dilution. Dilution is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional shares are sold by us.
13. There are legal restrictions on the resale of the common shares offered that are penny stocks. These restrictions may adversely affect your ability to resell your stock.
We anticipate that our common stock will continue to be subject to the penny stock rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These rules regulate broker/dealer practices for transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. The penny stock rules require broker/dealers to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker/dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its salesperson and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation information must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to completing the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction, the broker and/or dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. The transaction costs associated with penny stocks are high, reducing the number of broker-dealers who may be willing to engage in the trading of our shares. These additional penny stock disclosure requirements are burdensome and may reduce all of the trading activity in the market for our common stock. As long as the common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, our shareholders may find it more difficult to sell their shares.
14. Our future sales of our common shares could cause our stock price to decline.
There is no contractual restriction on our ability to issue additional shares. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of our common shares or the availability of shares for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales by the selling shareholders of our common shares in the public market, or the perception that our sales may occur, could cause the trading price of our stock to decrease or to be lower than it might be in the absence of those sales or perceptions.
15. The market price of our common stock may be volatile which could adversely affect the value of your investment in our common stock.
The trading price of our common stock may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors. Some of the factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate include:
* | fluctuations in our quarterly financial results or the quarterly financial results of companies perceived to be similar to us; |
* | changes in estimates of our financial results or recommendations by securities analysts; |
* | failure of any of our products to achieve or maintain market acceptance; |
* | changes in market valuations of similar companies; |
* | significant products, contracts, acquisitions or strategic alliances of our competitors; |
* | success of competing products or services; |
* | changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt; |
* | regulatory developments; |
* | litigation involving our company, our general industry or both; |
* | additions or departures of key personnel; |
* | investors’ general perception of us; and |
* | changes in general economic, industry and market conditions. |
16. We are an “emerging growth company,” and the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” could make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and shareholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation. We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more; (ii) the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act. We will be deemed a large accelerated filer on the first day of the fiscal year after the market value of our common equity held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million, measured on October 31.
We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive to the extent we rely on the exemptions available to emerging growth companies. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. An emerging growth company can therefore delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
A Company that elects to be treated as an emerging growth company shall continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as indexed for inflation), (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common stock under this registration statement; (iii) the date on which it has, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which is deemed to be a ‘large accelerated filer’ as defined by the SEC, which would generally occur upon it attaining a public float of at least $700 million.
17. We have elected under the JOBS Act to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies.
Under the JOBS Act, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of this extended transition period. Since we will not be required to comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies, our financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates.
18. We will not be required to comply with certain provisions of the the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for as long as we remain an “emerging growth company”.
We are not currently required to comply with the SEC rules that implement Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting for that purpose. Upon becoming a public company, we will be required to comply with certain of these rules, which will require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Though we will be required to disclose changes made in our internal control procedures on a quarterly basis, we will not be required to make our first annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC, or the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, although if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” as of the following December 31, or if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” immediately. Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC, or the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating.
19. While we currently qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, we will lose that status at the latest by the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, which will increase the costs and demands placed upon management.
We will continue to be deemed an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which we had total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as indexed for inflation), (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common stock under this registration statement; (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a ‘large accelerated filer’ as defined by the SEC, which would generally occur upon our attaining a public float of at least $700 million. Once we lose emerging growth company status, we expect the costs and demands placed upon management to increase, as we would have to comply with additional disclosure and accounting requirements, particularly if our public float should exceed $75 million.
20. While we currently qualify as an “Emerging Growth Company” under the JOBS Act and we will lose that status by the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, if we qualify as a “smaller reporting company” which we are at the present time, our non-financial and financial information will be less than is required by other non-smaller reporting companies.
Currently we qualify as an “Emerging Growth Company”. At the latest, by the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, we will lose that qualification and be required to report as other public companies are required to report. While we will no longer qualify as an “Emerging Growth Company”, we may qualify as a “smaller reporting company”. The “smaller reporting company” category includes companies that (1) have a common equity public float of less than $75 million or (2) are unable to calculate their public float and have annual revenue of $50 million or less, upon entering the system. A smaller reporting company prepares and files SEC reports and registration statements using the same forms as other SEC reporting companies, though the information required to be disclosed may differ and be less comprehensive. Regulation S-X contains the SEC requirements for financial statements, while Regulation S-K contains the non-financial disclosure requirements. To locate the scaled disclosure requirements, smaller reporting companies will refer to the special paragraphs labeled “smaller reporting companies” in Regulation S-K. As an example only, smaller reporting companies are not required to make risk factor disclosure in Item 1A of Form 10-K. Other disclosure required by non-smaller reporting companies can be omitted in Form 10-K and Form 10-Q by smaller reporting companies.
21. Because our common stock is not registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we will not be subject to the federal proxy rules and our directors, executive officers and 10% beneficial holders will not be subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition our reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may be suspended automatically if we have fewer than 300 shareholders of record on the first day of our fiscal year.
Our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, and we do not intend to register our common stock under the Exchange Act for the foreseeable future (provided that, we will register our common stock under the Exchange Act if we have, after the last day of our fiscal year, $10,000,000 in total assets and either more than 2,000 shareholders of record or 500 shareholders of record who are not accredited investors (as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission), in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act; as of March 28, 2012, we have less than 40 shareholders of record). As long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, we will not be subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, which, among other things, prohibits companies that have securities registered under the Exchange Act from soliciting proxies or consents from shareholders without furnishing to shareholders and filing with the SEC a proxy statement and form of proxy complying with the proxy rules. In addition, so long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, our directors and executive officers and beneficial holders of 10% or more of our outstanding common stock will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4, and 5 respectively. Such information about our directors, executive officers, and beneficial holders will only be available through periodic reports and any registration statements on Form S-1 we file. Furthermore, so long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, our obligation to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act will be automatically suspended if, on the first day of any fiscal year (other than a fiscal year in which a registration statement under the Securities Act has gone effective), we have fewer than 300 shareholders of record. This suspension is automatic and does not require any filing with the SEC. In such an event, we may cease providing periodic reports and current or periodic information, including operational and financial information, may not be available with respect to our results of operations.
22. We are a shell company and as such have limitations imposed upon us by law which will have an adverse affect on shareholders ability to resell restricted securities issued by us.
We are a “shell company” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. A shell company means that we have nor nominal operations; and either: (i) no or nominal assets; (ii) assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or (iii) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. As such, Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, is unavailable for the resale of restricted securities issued by us until we have filed a Form 8-K with the SEC and disclosing the information required by Item 5.06 thereof and one year passes from the date of filing. Further, we cannot use Form S-8 to register securities under plans until 60 days passes from the date we have filed a Form 8-K with the SEC and disclosing the information required by Item 5.06 thereof.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock in this offering. All proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock will be received by the selling shareholders. Up to $365,625.00 may be received from the exercise of the Redeemable Warrants. All funds received from the exercise of the Redeemable Warrants will be used for property acquisition, exploration, and administrative expenses.
The offering price of the units sold to in our private placement was $0.10 per unit. We sold a total of 2,925,000 units and raised $292,500. The offering price was made in consultation with Pennaluna & Company an SEC, FINRA registered broker-dealer who acted as our selling agent. The primary issue for us was the ability of Pennaluna & Company to raise up to $300,000.00 for our exploration program. Pennaluna & Company advised us that, based upon its customer profiles and our financial condition, that an offering of up to 3,000,000 units with an offering price of $0.10 per unit with warrants attached with an exercise price of $0.25 per two warrants would be, in Pennaluna & Company’s opinion, the most attractive package to its customers. We relied entirely upon that when the units were priced at $0.10 per unit. Each unit was comprised of one share of common stock and one redeemable warrant. Two redeemable warrants plus $0.25 would allow a warrant holder to purchase one additional share of common stock. Pennaluna & Company was successful in raising $292,500.00 and accordingly we are pleased with the decision to price the units and warrants as they were.
Based upon the foregoing, we decided that until a market developed for our shares of common stock and as required by SEC regulations, we would allow the shares of common stock issued as part of the unit to be resold at $0.10 per share. $0.10 was paid for each unit. We also selected $0.25 for the resale of shares issued upon the exercise of the warrants. The $0.25 price being related to the exercise price of the warrants.
Again, the fixed price upon resale is only until such time as a market develops for our common stock. There is no assurance a market will ever develop for our securities. If a market does develop and our shares begin trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, the fixed prices will no longer be applicable and shares may be bought and sold at the prevailing market price. In the ordinary course of things, we would not have established as a fixed resale price for the common stock, but because of SEC requires a fixed price to be established for the resale of the shares, until a market develops for our common stock, we selected the foregoing fixed prices for the foregoing reasons .
Since all of the shares of common stock being registered are already issued and outstanding, no dilution will result from this offering.
We have issued 2,925,000 Redeemable Warrants. Two Redeemable Warrants and $0.25 will allow the holder to acquire one (1) share of common stock. While the resale of shares being registered in this offering will have no dilutive effect, the Redeemable Warrants may have a dilutive effect depending on our tangible book value at the time of their exercise. In addition, if the Redeemable Warrants are exercised, there may be a dilutive effect on any person who is known to us to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of our common stock; each director and nominee that may be the beneficial owner of our common stock; or all directors and officers as a group. The actual dilutive effect will be determined from time to time as based on the number of shares of our common stock held by such person and the amount of warrants exercised.
Dilution represents the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the exercise of the warrants. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the exercise price of the shares being received upon the exercise of the warrants. As of December 31 , 2012, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was $132,973 or approximately $0.02 per share based upon 7,611,000 shares of common stock outstanding.
We currently have 7,611,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Currently there are 2,925,000 warrants outstanding. Two Redeemable Warrants and the payment of $0.25 will allow the holder to acquire one (1) additional share of common stock. In the event all of the warrants are exercised, we will receive $365,625 and if all the warrants are exercised, we will have 9,073,500 shares of common stock outstanding.
The tables set forth below reflect dilution based upon the exercise of 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the warrants outstanding.
If 2,925,000 Redeemable Warrants are Exercised and 1,462,500 shares of common stock are issued:
If all 2,925,000 Redeemable Warrants are exercised, the net tangible book value of the 9,073,500 shares to be outstanding will be $498,598 or approximately $0.05 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.03 per share without any additional investment on their part. Warrant holders will incur an immediate dilution from $0.25 per share to $0.05 per share .
After completion of the exercise of the Redeemable Warrants, if 2,925,000 Redeemable Warrants are exercised and 1,462,500 shares of common stock are issued, the warrant holders will own approximately 16.12% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which they will have made a cash investment of $365,625 or $0.25 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 83.88% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $330,500 or approximately $0.04 per share.

After completion of the exercise of the Redeemable Warrants, if 2,193,750 Redeemable Warrants are exercised and 1,096,875 shares of common stock are issued, the warrant holders will own approximately 12.60% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which they will have made a cash investment of $274,219 or $0.25 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 87.40% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $330,500 or approximately $0.04 per share.
If 1,462,500 Redeemable Warrants are Exercised and 731,250 shares of common stock are issued:
If 1,462,500 Redeemable Warrants are exercised, the net tangible book value of the 8,342,250 shares to be outstanding will be $315,785.50 or approximately $0.04 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.02 per share without any additional investment on their part. Warrant holders will incur an immediate dilution from $0.25 per share to $0.04 per share.
After completion of the exercise of the Redeemable Warrants, if 1,462,500 Redeemable Warrants are exercised and 731,250 shares of common stock are issued, the warrant holders will own approximately 8.77% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which they will have made a cash investment of $182,813 or $0.25 per share.

Warrant holders will incur an immediate dilution from $0.25 per share to $0.03 per share.
After completion of the exercise of the Redeemable Warrants, if 731,250 Redeemable Warrants are exercised and 365,625 shares of common stock are issued, the warrant holders will own approximately 4.58% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which they will have made a cash investment of $91,406.25 or $0.25 per share.

Related Information
The total number of shares to be issued based upon the exercise of all 2,925,000 Redeemable Warrants is 1,462,500 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. The exercise price of two (2) Redeemable Warrants is $0.25 which will entitle the holder to receive one (1) share of common stock. There was no market price for the shares of common stock on the date of issuance and there is no current market for the shares of common stock today. The book value of the shares of common stock on the date of issuance was $230,708. The total profit based solely on the book value of our shares of common stock will be $0.00 per share upon the exercise thereof assuming the book value per share is $0.03. No Redeemable Warrants have been exercised to date and the exercise price of two (2) Redeemable Warrants is filed at $0.25 per share.
There are 74 selling shareholders. They may be deemed underwriters. They may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions:
1. | On such public markets or exchanges as the common stock may from time to time be trading; | |
2. | In privately negotiated transactions; | |
3. | Through the writing of options on the common stock; | |
4. | In short sales; or | |
5. | In any combination of these methods of distribution. |
The sales price to the public is fixed at $0.10 for the current outstanding shares of common stock and $0.25 for the shares of common stock underlying our Redeemable Warrants until such time as the shares of our common stock become traded on the Bulletin Board operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or another exchange. If our common stock becomes quoted on the Bulletin Board or another exchange, then the sales price to the public will vary according to the selling decisions of each selling shareholder and the market for our stock at the time of resale. In these circumstances, the sales price to the public may be:
1. | The market price of our common stock prevailing at the time of sale; | |
2. | A price related to such prevailing market price of our common stock; or | |
3. | Such other price as the selling shareholders determine from time to time. |
The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Rule 144 provided the Rule is available to our shareholders. Currently it is not. Under Rule 144 shares of our common stock can be resold by non-affiliates commencing six months after their acquisition and by affiliates, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing six months after their acquisition, provided the Company was not a shell company when the shares were issued or prior thereto. A shell company is a corporation with no or nominal assets or its assets consist solely of cash and no or nominal operations. We believe we have never been a shell company having had either more than nominal assets or more than nominal operations.
The selling shareholders may also sell their shares directly to market makers acting as principals or brokers or dealers, who may act as agent or acquire the common stock as a principal. Any broker or dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive a commission from the selling shareholders, or, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such common stock, from such purchaser. The selling shareholders will likely pay the usual and customary brokerage fees for such services. Brokers or dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share and, to the extent such broker or dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling shareholders, to purchase, as principal, any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the respective broker’s or dealer’s commitment to the selling shareholders. Brokers or dealers who acquire shares as principals may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions in a market or on an exchange, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such re-sales may pay or receive commissions to or from the purchasers of such shares. These transactions may involve cross and block transactions that may involve sales to and through other brokers or dealers.
We can provide no assurance that all or any of the common stock offered will be sold by the selling shareholders. We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock, estimated to be $30,000. The selling shareholders, however, will pay commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock. The selling shareholders must comply with
the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may among other things:
1. Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock;
2. Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such as copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and
3. Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
There is no assurance that any of the selling shareholders will sell any or all of the shares offered by them. Under the securities laws of certain states, the shares may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in that state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is met.
Of the 7,611,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of March 4, 2013 , 835,000 are owned by our officers and directors and may only be resold pursuant to this registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, if Rule 144 is available for the sale thereof, of which there is no assurance.
We have not declared any cash dividends, nor do we intend to do so. We are not subject to any legal restrictions respecting the payment of dividends, except that they may not be paid to render us insolvent. Dividend policy will be based on our cash resources and needs and it is anticipated that all available cash will be needed for our operations in the foreseeable future.
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act
Our shares are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 and Rule 15g-9 promulgated thereunder. They impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). While Section 15(g) and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 apply to brokers-dealers, they do not apply to us.
Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules.
Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker/dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker/dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.
Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker/dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker/dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker/dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker/dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.
Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker/dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.
Rule 15g-6 requires broker/dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.
Rule 15g-9 requires broker/dealers to approved the transaction for the customer’s account; obtain a written agreement from the customer setting forth the identity and quantity of the stock being purchased; obtain from the customer information regarding his investment experience; make a determination that the investment is suitable for the investor; deliver to the customer a written statement for the basis for the suitability determination; notify the customer of his rights and remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the FINRA’s toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons. The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares.
The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares.
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section of the prospectus includes a number of forward- looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking states are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
We are considered to be in the development stage, as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7. We have been in the development stage since our inception. We have had no source of revenue, we have incurred operating losses since inception and at December 31, 2012 had working capital of $132,973 .
We have sufficient available cash in order to maintain operations during the next twelve months without the ingestion of funds of any kind.
Exploration expenditures consist of fees to be paid for consulting services connected with exploration, the cost of rock sampling (the collection of a series of small chips over a measured distance, which is then submitted for a chemical analysis, usually to determine the metallic content over the sampled interval, a pre-determined location(s) on the property), and cost of analyzing these samples. Since we recently leased the properties, we have not begun exploration.
We cannot be more specific about the application of proceeds for exploration, because we do not know what we will find. If we attempted to be too specific, every time an event occurred that would change our allocation, we would have to amend this prospectus. We believe that the process of amending this prospectus would take an inordinate amount of time and not be in your best interest in that we would have to spend money for legal fees which could then not be spent on exploration.
We have allocated a range of money for exploration. That is because we do not know how much will ultimately be needed for exploration. If our initial exploration proves positive results, we will expand the exploration activities to include reverse circulation drilling. This is a less expensive form of drilling that does not allow for the recovery of a tube or core of rock. The material is brought up from depth as a series of small chips of rock that are then bagged and sent in for analysis. This is a quicker and cheaper method of drilling, but does not necessarily give one as much information about the underlying rocks. If warranted, core drilling would follow this stage.
If we discover significant quantities of mineralized material, we will begin technical and economic feasibility studies to determine if we have reserves. Only if we have reserves will we consider developing the property.
If, through early stage exploration, we find mineralized material and it is feasible to expand the exploration program, we will attempt to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans. If we do not raise all of the money we need, we will have to find alternative sources of funding, like a public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans.
We have discussed this matter with our officers and directors, however, our officers and directors are unwilling to make any commitment to loan us any significant amounts of money at this time. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash. If we need additional cash and cannot raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely.
We will be conducting research in the form of exploration of the properties. Our exploration program is explained in as much detail as possible in the business section of this prospectus. We are not going to buy or sell any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months. We will not buy any additional equipment until we have located a body of minerals and we have determined they are economical to extract from the land.
We intend to interest other companies in the properties should we discover mineralized materials or we may elect to develop the properties ourselves.
If we are unable to complete any phase of exploration because we do not have enough money, we will cease operations until we raise more money. If we cannot or do not raise more money, we will cease operations. If we cease operations, we do not know what we will do and we don’t have any plans to do anything.
We do not intend to hire additional employees at this time. Any work that would be conducted on a property that we may secure will be conducted by unaffiliated independent contractors that we will hire. The independent contractors will be responsible for surveying, geology, engineering, exploration, and excavation. The geologists will evaluate the information derived from the exploration and excavation and the engineers will advise us on the economic feasibility of removing the mineralized material.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
We have no operations upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
We will have to retain experts to assist in developing the properties we lease and in locating additional appropriate projects. Our interest in the properties is limited to our leasehold interest. Our leases, however, grant us a right to purchase the underlying minerals upon completion of certain conditions. In order to assist in deciding if we should invest in a particular project, we will first need to be provided with at least the following:
* | A description of the project and the location of the property; |
* | The lands that will be subject to the exploration project; |
* | The royalties, net profit interest or other charges applicable to the subject lands; |
* | The estimated cost of any geophysical work contemplated; and |
* | The estimated acquisition costs, exploration costs and development costs of the property. |
To become profitable and competitive, we will have to conduct research and exploration of the properties we have acquired.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended December 31, 2012, we generated revenues and gross profit of $0, compared to $0 for the same period in 2011. Operating expenses were $39,735 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $9,796 for the same period in 2011. The increase is due to annual claim fees paid on the Company’s properties plus exploration expenses.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, we generated revenues and gross profit of $0, compared to $0 for the same period ending June 30, 2011. Operating expenses were $101,078 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, compared to $0 for the same period ending June 30, 2011. The increase is due to the acquisition of the Divide, Klondike, and Eagleville properties and exploration expenses incurred on those properties.
Material Changes in Financial Condition
At December 31, 2012, we had assets of $194,825, including cash of $136,825, compared to assets of $25,976, all of it cash, at December 31, 2011 . At June 30, 2012, we had assets of $133,410, including cash of $121,410, compared to assets of $3,772, all of it cash, at June 30, 2011. The increase is attributable to the sale of common stock and warrants, less property acquisition and exploration expenses. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this prospectus, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.
Since our inception on January 22, 2007, we have issued 7,611,000 restricted shares of common stock and 2,925,000 Redeemable Warrants. The exercise period of the Redeemable Warrants is three (3) years from March 1, 2012. Two (2) Redeemable Warrants plus $0.25 are convertible into one (1) restricted share of common stock. The Redeemable Warrants are redeemable by us upon thirty (30) days written notice to you. If we issue such notice and you do not exercise the Redeemable Warrants during the 30 day period, the Redeemable Warrants will terminate thirty (30) days from the date of the notice.
Included in the foregoing are 850,000 shares of common stock on October 30, 2007, 300,000 shares of common stock on December 4, 2007, and 100,000 shares on January 10, 2008. These shares were issued to our officers, directors, and founders in consideration of $6,000. The foregoing 1,250,000 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In November 2011, we issued 1,600,000 restricted shares of common stock to 21 persons at a price of $0.02 per share for a total of $32,000. The 21 persons were all accredited investors.
In July 2012, we completed a private placement of 2,925,000 Units. Each Unit was comprised of one (1) restricted share of common stock and one (1) redeemable stock purchase warrant. The exercise period of the warrants is three (3) years from March 1, 2012. Two (2) warrants plus $0.25 are convertible into one (1) restricted share of common stock. The warrants are redeemable by us upon thirty (30) days written notice to the holder thereof. If we issue such notice and the holder does not exercise the Redeemable Warrants during the 30 day period, the Redeemable Warrants will terminate thirty (30) days from the date of the notice. The sale of the Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Reg. 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
During the next twelve months, we will be required to spend $35,000 on property leases and spend a minimum of $15,000 on property exploration. These expenses are included in the amounts listed under “Plan of Operation – Milestones.” See “Property Agreements” for lease payments required after twelve months.
As of December 31, 2012, our total assets were $194,825 and our total liabilities were $3,852. We have cash of $136,825 at December 31, 2012 .
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. All of our significant accounting policies and estimates are described in note 2 of the June 30, 2012 audited financial statements. We consider the following policies as being critical with regard to the impact estimates and changes in estimates could have on our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.
Mineral Property Costs-The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on January 27, 2007 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
Stock Based Compensation - The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation, and ASC 505, Equity based payments to non employees, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.
Under the JOBS Act, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of this extended transition period. Since we will not be required to comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies, our financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of companies that comply with public company effective dates.
Auditors
Our auditors are MaloneBailey, LLP. We have not changed auditors. We do not have nor have we ever had any disagreements with our auditors concerning a financial accounting, reporting, or auditing matter that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor’s report.
General
We were incorporated in the State of Idaho on January 22, 2007 as an exploration stage mining corporation. An exploration stage corporation is one engaged in the search for mineral deposits or reserves, which are not in either the development or production stage. We intend to conduct exploration activities on one or more of the properties we lease. Our interest in the properties is limited to our leasehold interest. Our leases, however, grant us a right to purchase the underlying minerals upon completion of certain conditions. Currently, we have leases on a number of gold properties in Nevada. We maintain our statutory registered agent’s office at Columbia Stock Transfer, 601 E. Seltice Way, Suite 202, Post Falls, Idaho 83854. Our business office is located at 2555 West Palais Drive, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho 83815. This is also our mailing address. The telephone number is (509) 928-7604.
There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit will be found on any property we explore. Further exploration will be required before a final evaluation of economic feasibility is determined. We have no plans to change our business activities or to combine with another business and are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause our plans to change.
There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the claims and further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic feasibility is determined.
We have no plans to change our business activities or to combine with another business, and are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause our plans to change.
The fee simple title to the property we lease is owned by the United States of America. Mountain Gold Claims, LLC and other owners have staked the land and obtained a claim from the BLM. They then leased the properties to us.
The properties we have leased are unencumbered and there are no competitive conditions which affect the claims. Further, there is no insurance covering the claims and we believe that no insurance is necessary since the claims are unimproved and contains no buildings or improvements.
To date, we have had limited exploration activities on the properties. We are presently in the exploration stage and we cannot guarantee that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists in the claims until further exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility.
We have no current plans, proposals or arrangements, written or otherwise, to abandon the exploration of our mineral claims and either enter into a different line of business or to complete a business combination transaction with another company.
For all projects, power source would be provided by portable diesel/gas generators. There are no infrastructures on any of the projects, just raw land and dirt/gravel roads.
An exploration plan has not been developed for each of the properties. Limited exploration work such as mapping, surface sampling and assaying will be done to meet the work commitments required by the lease agreements. The costs are $20,000 for the Klondike Lease, $5,000 for the Divide Lease and $5,000 for the Eagleville Lease.
Currently, we do not have any permits in hand. No permits are required for exploration work that does not included motorized equipment. In the future, should heavy equipment, including drilling be conducted, then a Notice of Intent to Operate or Plan of Operation Permit may be required.

History
At the Property, several prospects, adits and mine shafts have explored the project area. Although, there is no recorded production from the ground covered by the Klondike Central Project, disturbed ground near the main mine workings may suggest limited open pit and underground operations in the 1900’s. In 2006, Mountain Gold Exploration, Inc. conducted limited reconnaissance geological mapping and geochemical sampling. Between 2008 and 2009, geological mapping, geochemical soil and rock chip sampling, geophysical magnetic survey, along with limited reverse circulation drilling was conducted by AuEx, Inc. In 2011-2012, Mountain Gold Claims, LLC conducted limited geological mapping and geochemical sampling for Idaho North Resources Corporation.
Physiography, Climate, Vegetation and Water
The Klondike Central Project is situated midway between the towns of Tonopah and Goldfield, Nevada approximately 12 miles south-southeast of Tonopah in the northern portion of the Klondike Hill.
Topography on the Project is gentle to moderate with an average elevation range of 5,440 feet to 5,640 feet.

In addition to the state regulations, federal regulations require a yearly maintenance fee to keep the claim in good standing. In accordance with federal regulations, the Eagleville Project is in good standing to September 1, 2013. A yearly maintenance fee of $8,120 is required to be paid to the Bureau of Land Management prior to the expiration date to keep the claim in good standing for an additional year.
History
At the Eagleville Project, several historical prospects, adits and shafts have explored the project area. Between 1884 and 1894, there was approximately $20,000 (1,000 ounces of gold) undocumented recorded production from the ground covered by the Eagleville Project. In 1982, Duval conducted underground mapping and sampling. In 1983, Phelps Dodge conducted surface mapping.
Physiography, Climate, Vegetation and Water
The Eagleville Project is situated in the central portion of the Eagleville Mining District and is approximately 50 miles southeast of the town of Fallon, Nevada. Topography on the Project is moderate relief gentle with an average elevation range of 5,600 feet to 6,260 feet.
The Eagleville Project area is of a typically high desert climate with relatively moderate temperatures and low precipitation. Vegetation consists mainly of sparse sage brush. Sources of water would be available from valley wells and springs or from the Rawhide gold and silver deposit.
Regional Geology
The Eagleville Project is located in the southern flank of the Sand Springs Range and situated in the transitional structural zone along the northeastern bounding structure of the Walker Lane Structural Belt which separates the Great Basin and the Walker Lane physiographic provinces.
Eagleville Project Geology
At Eagleville, Triassic age complex of bi-modal intrusives dikes, sills and plugs have intruded meta-volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Excelsior Formation, which in turn were intruded by Cretaceous granites. Locally, post-mineral Tertiary rocks cover and conceal portions of the mineralized system.
Eagleville Project Mineralization
At the Eagleville Project, the earliest mineralization appears to be a series of north 80 east striking, silver-lead-barite veins that extend at least 3000 feet. These earlier north 80 east trending silver-lead-barite vein structural zones is steeply dipping and well exposed for over 3000 feet to the southwest and an isolated exposure in a drainage canyon suggests the veins may extend over 8,000 feet. High grade, narrow, free-gold mineralization is hosted along a series of northwest striking, en echelon quartz-pyrite vein and numerous working have explored and mined these veins. The gold is found primarily in the free state as sub millimeter grains with minor sulfides and iron oxides. The quartz veins were mined at an average width of 3 feet from the surface down to over 400 feet down dip by stoping on 50 foot levels.

Supplies
Supplies and manpower are readily available for exploration of the claim.
Other
Other than our interest in the claims, we own no other property.
Our Proposed Exploration Program
We plan on conducting geological mapping and additional rock chip and soil sampling, underground rock chip sampling, and if necessary performing hand trenching work to expose bedrock. The object of this work will be to determine if there is an economically recoverable gold-silver resource on the properties. All sample locations will be marked and mapped. The initial phase of work will provide enough information to allow the company to decide whether or not to proceed to the next phase of exploration and warrant follow up drilling.
It will take us two to three weeks to conduct the geological mapping and rock chip sampling, as well as hand trenching, if necessary. It will take approximately another two to three weeks to obtain results from the lab. We will plot all sample locations on enlarged topographic maps and provide GPS with these locations. Thereafter we will begin reverse circulation or core drilling.
Funds will be used for GIS/drafting and data compilation work, land-claim research compilation, claim surveying, staking and recording, grid surveying and installation, sample collecting, hand trenching, geological mapping, supplies, shipping, lab costs, meals, lodging, truck fuel and mileage expenses and labor.
We must conduct exploration to determine what amount of minerals, if any, exist on the properties we lease and if any minerals which are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed. Our interest in the properties is limited to our leasehold interest. Our leases, however, grant us a right to purchase the underlying minerals upon completion of certain conditions.
The properties are undeveloped raw land. Exploration and surveying has not been initiated until we raise additional money. That is because we do not have money to complete exploration.
Before minerals retrieval can begin, we must explore for and find mineralized material. After that has occurred we have to determine if it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material. Economically feasible means that the costs associated with the removal of the mineralized material will not exceed the price at which we can sell the mineralized material. We can’t predict what that will be until we find mineralized material.
We do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on any of the claims.
We cannot provide you with a more detailed discussion of how our exploration program will work and what we expect will be our likelihood of success. That is because we have a piece of raw land and we intend to look for a gold-silver ore body. We may or may not find an ore body. We have the right to prospect, explore, test, develop, work and mine the claims. We hope we do, but it is impossible to predict the likelihood of such an event. The overwhelming likelihood is that there is no ore body on our mineral claims. In addition, the nature and direction of the exploration may change depending upon initial results.
We do not have any plan to take our company to revenue generation. That is because we have not found economic mineralization yet and it is impossible to project revenue generation from nothing.
The following is an outline of the estimated maximum costs of this first phase of exploration of the properties we lease:
Consulting Services | $ | 50,000 |
Survey & Surface Sampling | $ | 20,000 |
Trenching & Sampling | $ | 50,000 |
Core Drilling | $ | 200,000 – 300,000 |
Analyzing Samples | $ | 30,000 |
Currently we have approximately $120,000 to begin the first phase of exploration. We will have to raise additional capital to complete the first phase. We intended to obtain the capital from the exercise of our Redeemable Warrants; possible sale of additional shares of common stock; or loans. There is no assurance that we will raise the additional funds to complete the first phase of exploration.
Competitive Factors
The gold mining industry is fragmented, that is there are many, many gold prospectors and producers, small and large. We do not compete with anyone. That is because there is no competition for the exploration or removal of minerals from the claims. We will either find gold on the claims or not. If we do not, we will cease or suspend operations. We are one of the smallest exploration companies in existence. We are an infinitely small participant in the gold mining market. Readily available gold markets exist in the United States and around the world for the sale of gold. Therefore, we will be able to sell any gold that we are able to recover.
Rental Fee Requirement
We are obligated under our agreement with Mountain Gold Claims LLC and Black Rock Exploration LLC to pay the rental fee. The Federal government’s Continuing Act of 2002 extends the requirement of rental or maintenance fees in place of assessment work for filing and holding mining claims with the BLM. All claimants must pay a yearly maintenance fee of $140 per claim for all or part of the mining claim assessment year. The fee must be paid at the State Office of the Bureau of Land Management by August 31, of each year. We have paid this fee through 2012. The assessment year ends on noon of September 1 of each year. The initial maintenance fee is paid at the time the Notice of Location is filed with the BLM and covers the remainder of the assessment year in which the claim was located. There are no exemptions from the initial fee. Some claim holders may qualify for a Small Miner Exemption waiver of the maintenance fee for assessment years after the year in which the claim was located. We do not qualify for a Small Miner Exemption. The following sets forth the BLM fee schedule:
Fee Schedule (per claim) | ||
Location Fee | $ | 30.00 |
Maintenance Fee | $ | 140.00 |
Service Charges | $ | 10.00 |
Transfer Fee | $ | 5.00 |
Proof of Labor | $ | 5.00 |
Notice of Intent to Hold | $ | 10.50 |
Transfer of Interest | $ | 10.00 |
Amendment | $ | 5.00 |
Petition for Deferment of Assessment Work | $ | 25.00 |
Notice of Intent to Locate on Stock Raising Homestead land | $ | 25.00 |
The BLM regulations provide for three types of operations on public lands: 1. Casual Use level, 2. Notice level, and 3. Plan of Operation level.
1. Casual Use means activities ordinarily resulting in no or negligible disturbance of the public lands or resources. Casual Use operations involve simple prospecting with hand tools such as picks, shovels, and metal detectors. Small-scale mining devices such as dry washers having engines with less than 10 brake-horsepower are allowed, provided they are fed using only hand tools. Casual Use level operations are not required to file an application to conduct activities or post a financial guarantee.
2. Notice level operations include only exploration activities in which five or less acres of disturbance are proposed. Presently, all Notice Level operations require a written notice and must be bonded for all activities other than reclamation.
3. Plans of Operation activities include all mining and processing (regardless of the size of the proposed disturbance), plus all other activities exceeding five acres of proposed public land disturbance.
Operators are encouraged to conduct a thorough inventory of the claims to determine the full extent of any existing disturbance and to meet with field office personnel at the site before developing an estimate. The inventory should include photographs taken “before” and “after” any mining activity.
If an operator constructs access or uses an existing access way for an operation and would object to BLM blocking, removing, or claiming that access, then the operator must post a financial guarantee that covers the reclamation of the access.
Concurrence by the BLM for occupancy is required whenever residential occupancy is proposed or when fences, gates, or signs will be used to restrict public access or when structures that could be used for shelter are placed on a claim. It is the claimant’s responsibility to prepare a complete notice or plan of operators.
Mining Claims on State Land
The Nevada law authorizing location of claims on State Lands was repealed in 1998. Acquisition of mineral rights on Nevada trust land can only be accomplished by application for a prospecting permit, mineral lease, or lease of common variety materials.
We will secure all necessary permits for exploration and, if development of a claim is warranted, will file final plans of operation before we start any mining operations. We anticipate no discharge of water into active stream, creek, river, lake or any other body of water regulated by environmental law or regulation. No endangered species will be disturbed. Restoration of the disturbed land will be completed according to law. All holes, pits and shafts will be sealed upon abandonment of the property. It is difficult to estimate the cost of compliance with the environmental law since the full nature and extent of our proposed activities cannot be determined until we start our operations and know what that will involve from an environmental standpoint.
We are in compliance with all laws and will continue to comply with the laws in the future. We believe that compliance with the laws will not adversely affect our business operations.
We are responsible to provide a safe working environment, not disrupt archaeological sites, and conduct our activities to prevent unnecessary damage to the claims.
We will secure all necessary permits for exploration and, if development is warranted on a claim, will file final plans of operation before we start any mining operations. At this point, a permit from the BLM would be required. Also, we would be required to comply with the laws of the state of Nevada and federal regulations. We anticipate no discharge of water into active stream, creek, river, lake or any other body of water regulated by environmental law or regulation. No endangered species will be disturbed. Restoration of the disturbed land will be completed according to law. All holes, pits and shafts will be sealed upon abandonment of a claim. It is difficult to estimate the cost of compliance with the environmental law since the full nature and extent of our proposed activities cannot be determined until we start our operations and know what that will involve from an environmental standpoint.
Subcontractors
We intend to use the services of subcontractors for certain exploration work on the properties we lease when deemed necessary. Our interest in the properties is limited to our leasehold interest. Our leases, however, grant us a right to purchase the underlying minerals upon completion of certain conditions. The members of our Technical Advisory Committee will conduct the majority of the surveying, exploration, and excavating of the property. Thomas Callicrate and Roger Walther are the members of the Technical Advisory Committee. Both individuals are based in Nevada and have extensive experience in mining in the state of Nevada, specifically in the areas where we have leased properties are located. The company does not have any contract with either of them but will contract their services on a needed basis. Further, we will hire geologists and engineers as independent contractors on an as needed basis. As of today, we have not looked for or talked to any geologists or engineers who will perform work for us in the future outside of the existing members of our management team and advisory committee. Accordingly, we cannot determine at this time the precise number of people we will retain to perform the foregoing services. Mr. Fralich will handle our administrative duties.
Employees and Employment Agreements
At present, only one of our officers/directors is a full-time employee and will devote all of his time to our operations. That person is Mark Fralich, our president. One other officer, Erik Panke is a part-time employee and will devote about 10% of his time or four hours per week to our operation. Mr. Panke will perform the accounting and bookkeeping services for the corporation. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt plans in the future.
Claim Interests and Mining Claims in General
Mining claims are subject to the same risk of defective title that is common to all real property interests. Additionally, mining claims are self-initiated and self-maintained and therefore, possess some unique vulnerabilities not associated with other types of property interests. It is impossible to ascertain the validity of unpatented mining claims solely from an examination of the public real estate records and, therefore, it can be difficult or impossible to confirm that all of the requisite steps have been followed for location and maintenance of a claim. If the validity of a patented mining claim is challenged by the BLM or the U.S. Forest Service on the grounds that mineralization has not been demonstrated, the claimant has the burden of proving the present economic feasibility of mining minerals located thereon. Such a challenge might be raised when a patent application is submitted or when the government seeks to include the land in an area to be dedicated to another use.
Reclamation
We generally are required to mitigate long-term environmental impacts by stabilizing, contouring, re-sloping and re-vegetating various portions of a site after mining and mineral processing operations are completed. These reclamation efforts will be conducted in accordance with detailed plans, which must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate regulatory agencies.
Government Regulation
Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various national, state, and local laws and regulations in the United States, which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters. We will obtain the licenses, permits or other authorizations currently required to conduct our exploration program. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable mining, health, safety and environmental statutes and the regulations passed thereunder in Idaho, Nevada and the United States.
Our mineral exploration program is subject to the regulations of the Bureau of Land Management. The prospecting on the claims are provided under the existing 1872 Mining Law and all permits for exploration and testing must be obtained through the local Bureau of Land Management office of the Department of Interior. Obtaining permits for minimal disturbance as envisioned by this exploration program will require making the appropriate application and filing of the bond to cover the reclamation of the test areas. From time to time, an archeological clearance may need to be contracted to allow the testing program to proceed.
While conducting surface exploration, we will not utilize heavy equipment. Accordingly, the only BLM regulations that require our compliance will be removal of all portable equipment, cleanup and removal of all trash, and reclamation of all disturbance. If heavy equipment is to be used in the next phase of exploration, including drilling, we will have to comply with all County and BLM environmental regulations involved with either a Notice of Intent to Operate or Plan of Operations which relate to undue and unnecessary degradation of land, minimize cut and fill on roads, legal disposal of any tailings and waste should any major disturbance we generated, plugging of all drill holes in accordance with all county, state and federal regulations and reclamation of all disturbance.
We believe there will be no adverse affect on us as a result of complying with the governmental regulations and at our current stage of operations we do not anticipate any costs related to the governmental regulations.
Environment Regulations
Our activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing and, in general, are becoming more restrictive. We intend to conduct business in a way that safeguards public health and the environment. We will conduct our operational compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Changes to current state or federal laws and regulations, where we intend to operate could in the future require additional capital expenditures and increased operating and/or reclamation costs. Although we are unable to predict what additional legislation, if any, might be proposed or enacted, additional regulatory requirements could impact the economics of our project.
During 2012, there were no material environmental incidents or non-compliance with any applicable environmental regulations on the properties.

Indemnification
Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Idaho.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Idaho law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Since our inception on January 22, 2007, we have issued 7,611,000 restricted shares of common stock and 2,925,000 Redeemable Warrants. The exercise period of the Redeemable Warrants is three (3) years from March 1, 2012. Two (2) Redeemable Warrants plus $0.25 are convertible into one (1) restricted share of common stock. The Redeemable Warrants are redeemable by us upon thirty (30) days written notice to you. If we issue such notice and you do not exercise the Redeemable Warrants during the 30 day period, the Redeemable Warrants will terminate thirty (30) days from the date of the notice.

These shares were issued to our officers, directors, and founders in consideration of $6,000 and services. The foregoing 1,250,000 shares of common stock were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In October through December 2011, we issued 1,600,000 restricted shares of common stock to 21 persons at a price of $0.02 per share for a total of $32,000. The 21 persons were all accredited investors.
In January 2012, we issued 560,000 common shares for services at a fair value of $0.02 per share. The shares of common stock were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In February 2012, we issued 100,000 common shares pursuant to the Divide Property Mineral Lease Agreement at a fair value of $0.02 per share. The shares of common stock were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In July 2012, we completed a private placement of 2,925,000 Units. Each Unit was comprised of one (1) restricted share of common stock and one (1) redeemable stock purchase warrant. The exercise period of the warrants is three (3) years from March 1, 2012. Two (2) warrants plus $0.25 are convertible into one (1) restricted share of common stock. The warrants are redeemable by us upon thirty (30) days written notice to the holder thereof. If we issue such notice and the holder does not exercise the Redeemable Warrants during the 30 day period, the Redeemable Warrants will terminate thirty (30) days from the date of the notice. The sale of the Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Reg. 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
No Public Market for Common Stock.
There is presently no public market for our common stock. We intend to request that a market marker submit an application to FINRA to quote our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We can provide no assurance that our shares will be traded on the bulletin board, or if traded, that a public market will materialize.
The Securities Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The last price of our common stock was in connection with our placement under the exemption from registration contained in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, wherein we sold Units at $0.10 per share. Thus, our common stock would qualify as penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;(b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities’ laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;(d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;(e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and;(f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with; (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;(c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock if it becomes subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, because our common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
Holders of Our Common Stock
Currently, we have 74 holders of record of our common stock.
Rule 144 Shares
All of the presently outstanding shares of our common stock are “restricted securities” as defined under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended, and may only be sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration, if available. The SEC has adopted final rules amending Rule 144 which have become effective on February 15, 2008. Pursuant to the new Rule 144, one year must elapse from the time a “shell company”, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, ceases to be a “shell company” and files Form 10 information with the SEC, before a restricted shareholder can resell their holdings in reliance on Rule 144. Form 10 information is equivalent to information that a company would be required to file if it were registering a class of securities on Form 10 under the Securities Exchange Act 1934, as amended. A Form 10 includes information such as a description of the company’s business, risk factors associated with the business, financial information, description of the company’s properties, the securities ownership of the company’s management and 5% shareholders, a description of management and the board of directors, compensation for officers and directors, transactions in which the company entered into with officers and directors, legal proceedings, the market in which the company trades its stock, sales of unregistered securities, among other information. Under the amended Rule 144, restricted or unrestricted securities, that were initially issued by a reporting or non-reporting shell company or a company that was at anytime previously a reporting or non-reporting shell company, can only be resold in reliance on Rule 144 if the following conditions are met: (1) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a reporting or non-reporting shell company has ceased to be a shell company; (2) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (3) the issuer of the securities has filed all reports and material required to be filed under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as applicable, during the preceding twelve months (or shorter period that the Issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (4) at least one year has elapsed from the time the issuer filed the current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
At the present time, we are classified as a “shell company” under Rule 405 of the Securities Act Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As such, all restricted securities presently held by the affiliates of our company may not be resold in reliance on Rule 144.
Registration Rights
We have not granted registration rights to the selling shareholders or to any other persons.
We are paying the expenses of the offering because we seek to: (i) become a reporting company with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; and (ii) enable our common stock to be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. We must be a reporting company under the 1934 Act in order that our common stock is eligible for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. We will become a reporting company under Section 15 of the 1934 Act upon the effectiveness of this Registration Statement. We believe that the registration of the resale of shares on behalf of existing shareholders may facilitate the development of a public market in our common stock if our common stock is approved for trading on a recognized market for the trading of securities in the United States. In addition, we plan to file a Form 8-A registration statement with the Commission to cause us to become a reporting company with the Commission under Section 12 of the 1934 Act.
We consider that the development of a public market for our common stock will make an investment in our common stock more attractive to future investors. In the near future, in order for us to continue with our business plan program, we will need to raise additional capital. We believe that obtaining reporting company status under the 1934 Act and trading on the OTCBB should increase our ability to raise these additional funds from investors.
Common Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share. The holders of our common stock:
* | have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors; |
* | are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs; |
* | do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and |
* | are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote. |
Our shares of common stock are not available for resale under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided certain conditions are satisfied. Under Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold by affiliates, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing six months after their acquisition, provided the Company was not a shell company when the shares were issued or prior thereto. A shell company is a corporation with no or nominal assets or its assets consist solely of cash and no or nominal operations. Rule 144 will not be available for a period on one year from the date we file a Form 8-K with the SEC and disclosed the information required by Item 5.06 thereof.
Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resalable. The resale of shares could have a depressive effect on the market price should a market develop for our common stock. There is no assurance a market will ever develop for our common stock.
There is no public trading market for our common stock.
Non-cumulative voting
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares not be able to elect any of our directors.
Cash dividends
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend be at the discretion of our board of directors and depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
Preferred stock
We are authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.05 par value of per share. The terms of the preferred shares are at the discretion of the board of directors. Currently, no preferred shares are issued and outstanding.
Redeemable Warrants
Currently we have 2,925,000 Redeemable Warrants outstanding held by 31 warrant holders. Two redeemable warrants entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.25, provided the redeemable warrants are exercised within three (3) years from March 1, 2012. If the redeemable warrants are not exercised by then, they will expire and cannot be exercised thereafter.
The redeemable warrants are subject to redemption by us upon thirty days written notice to the holder thereof.
If we call the redeemable warrants for redemption and they are not exercised, the redeemable warrants will terminate on the date set forth in the notice to you.
Anti-takeover provisions
There are no Idaho anti-takeover provisions that may have the affect of delaying or preventing a change in control.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Idaho North Resources Corp.
(An exploration stage company)
Coeur d’Alene, Idaho
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Idaho North Resources Corp. (an exploration stage company) (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 and the related statement of expenses, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 and for the period from January 22, 2007 (inception) through June 30, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows as of June 30, 2012 and 2011 and for the period from January 22, 2007 (inception) through June 30, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

IDAHO NORTH RESOURCES CORPORATION (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
For the Years Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Idaho North Resources Corporation (“the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of Idaho in 2007. The Company is engaged primarily in acquiring prospective precious metals mining properties in the western United States. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Accounting Standards Codification 915, Exploration Stage Entities.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) | Basis of presentation - This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. |
b) | Estimates and Assumptions - The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of American requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the Company’s reported financial position and results of operations. |
c) | Cash and cash equivalents - Cash equivalents include cash on hand and in banks. The Company also considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. |
d) | Net Income (Loss) per Share - Basic EPS is computed as net income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, there was no dilution. |
e) | Basic and Diluted Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share - The Company computes net earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive., which, for the years ended June 30 2012 and 2011, was 800,000 and 0 potentially dilutive shares, respectively. |
f) | Mineral Property Costs - The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on January 27, 2007 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized. The Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment at each fiscal quarter end. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations. |
IDAHO NORTH RESOURCES CORPORATION (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Years Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
g) | Asset Retirement Obligations-The Company records the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability for closure and removal costs associated with the legal obligations upon retirement or removal of any tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of assets in accordance with ASC 440 Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations. The initial recognition of any liability will be capitalized as part of the asset cost and depreciated over its estimated useful life. As at June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company has not incurred any asset retirement obligations. |
h) | 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 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
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 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 Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, other assets and accounts payable.
Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair value of our cash equivalents 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 of the other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
i) | Stock Based Compensation - The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Based Compensation, and ASC 505, Equity based payments to non employees, using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. |
j) | Income Taxes – Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740, Income Taxes as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years. |

For the Years Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
k) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements-The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. |

The Company, uses the liability method, where deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting purposes. During fiscal 2012 and 2011, respectively, the Company incurred net losses and, therefore, has no tax liability. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carry-forward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carry-forward is approximately at 2012 and 2011 respectively, $56,800 and $6,200 and will expire in the years 2032.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the use of net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards in certain situations where changes occur in the stock ownership of a company. In the event the Company has a change in ownership, utilization of the net operating loss carry-forwards could be restricted.

A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to: |
(a) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(b) | reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and |
(c) | include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution. |
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(4) | To provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. |
(5) | For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of a registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the time it was declared effective. |
(6) | For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new Registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(7) | For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser: |
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§§230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(8) | For the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities: |
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(a) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 of this chapter; |
(b) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
(c) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
(d) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
B. | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
C. | To provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser. |
D. | The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that: |
(1) | For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective. |
(2) | For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
(3) | For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§ 230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
