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 contain 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, which, for the next year, are $25,000 for the Klondike Lease, $25,000 for the Divide Lease and $10,000 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, a Notice of Intent to Operate or Plan of Operation Permit may be required.
The following maps disclose the physical locations of the properties: |

Physiography, Climate, Vegetation and Water
The Divide TH Project is situated in the southeastern portion of the Divide Mining District and is approximately nine and one-half miles southeast of the town of Tonopah, Nevada. Topography on the Project is very gentle with an average elevation range of 5,680 feet to 5,760 feet.
The Divide TH 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 or from the towns of Tonopah.
Regional Geology
The Divide TH Project is situated in the southwestern portion of the San Antonio Mountains within the northwest-trending Walker Lane structural domain of the Basin and Range physiographic province. The right-lateral, strike-slip faulting associated with the Walker Lane zone created a large, east-west trending drag fold in the area of the Tonopah and Divide mining districts. Most mineralization in the Divide Mining District occurs on west-northwest slays from these regional structural activities. The Divide Mining District is situated on a major Tertiary felsic to intermediate volcanic eruptive center intruded by several late stage rhyolitic and latitic intrusive-extrusive bodies. Miocene pre-mineral volcanic rocks in the Divide Mining District consist of the Fraction Tuff (rhyolitic), Siebert Formation tuffaceous and lacustrine siltstone and tuff, Oddie Rhyolite intrusives and lower part of the Divide Andesite. Post-mineral volcanic rocks include the Brougher Rhyolite and upper Divide Andesite.
In the southeast portion of the Divide Mining District, Tertiary volcanic rocks of intermediate to felsic composition consisting of flows, tuffs, lahars and agglomerates are the dominate rocks and locally may have been intruded by rhyolitic dikes, sills and plug.

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.
The Klondike Central Project area is of a typically desert climate with relatively high temperatures and low precipitation. Vegetation consists mainly of sparse sage brush. Sources of water would be available from valley wells or from the towns of Tonopah or Goldfields.
Regional Geology
The Klondike Central Property is situated in the Klondike Hills within the northwest-trending Walker Lane structural domain province and where Walker Lane related structures intersect a possible, recently recognized caldera margin. The Klondike Hills are part of a large syncline with an axis trending northeast and plunging to the northeast. Anticlinal folding and imbricated thrusting along the southern limb have created a complex structural setting and locally control precious metal mineralization. The majority of the rocks in the Klondike Mining District consist of early Cambrian Mule Springs Limestone, Cambrian Emigrant Formation consisting of argillite and limestone and Paleozoic Ordovician Palmetto Formation consisting of limestone, carbonaceous argillite, siltstone and chert. The Cambrian and Paleozoic sediments have been intruded by Mesozoic granites and Tertiary rhyolite dikes and sills. In the northern portion of the Klondike Mining District, Tertiary volcanic rocks of intermediate to felsic composition consisting of flows, tuffs, lahars and agglomerates locally intruded by rhyolitic dikes, sill and plugs occur.

Klondike Southeast Mineralization
At the Klondike Southeast Project, alteration of the volcanic tuffs and agglomerate rocks appears high-level, consisting of argillization and local quartz-calcite veining-stockwork and disseminated pyritization. The surrounding older Cambrian-Paleozoic rocks to the west and south are pervasively silicified and cut by quartz stockwork, and the alteration appears similar to Carlin-type systems. Mineralization in the Klondike Southeast Project area includes anomalous mineralized material in both host rock units.
EAGLEVILLE PROPERTY
The Eagleville Property is comprised of fifty-eight (58) located unpatented lode mining claims of approximately 1,160 acres located in the Eagleville Mining District, situated in Mineral County Nevada. Mountain Gold Exploration, Inc. owns 34% ownership, Lane Griffin and Associates owns 66% ownership, and collectively both parties own a total 100% ownership as the registered owners of the Eagleville Project.
Location and Access
The Eagleville Property is comprised of approximately 1,160 acres and 58 lode mining claims, which were located and filed in the Mineral County recorder’s office in Hawthorne, Nevada.
The Eagleville Project is located within Sections 33, 34, 35, Township 14 North, Range 33 East and Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 Township 13 North, Range 33 East in the Eagleville Mining District of Mineral County, Nevada.
Access from Fallon Nevada, Nevada to the Eagleville Project is approximately 50 miles to the southeast. From the Town of Fallon, Nevada, access via 30 miles southeast from Fallon on US Hwy 50, then 17 miles south along Nevada State Route 839, then 3 miles east on unimproved dirt roads to the Eagleville Project.
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, 2014. 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 the Eagleville Project, a 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 are steeply dipping and well exposed for over 3000 feet to the southwest. 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 veins, 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, 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. 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 if a decision to perform exploratory drilling is made.
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. We may or may not find an ore body. We hope we do, but it is impossible to predict the likelihood of such an event. We have the right to prospect, explore, test, develop, work and mine the claims. 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.
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 $30,000 to begin the first phase of exploration. We will have to raise additional capital to complete the first phase. We intend 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. 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 property lease agreements to pay the yearly rental or maintenance fees. 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 August 31, 2014. 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 our 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 be 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.

Dividends
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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Our shares are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such 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). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.
Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as id and offer quotes, a dealers spread and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers’ duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers’ rights and remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, 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.
Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans
We have no equity compensation plans, and accordingly we have no shares authorized for issuance under an equity compensation plan.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
This section of this annual report 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 report. These forward-looking statements 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 June 30, 2013 had working capital of $81,375.
We will have to raise additional capital in order to continue our exploration program and meet our property lease obligations during the next twelve months, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to do so.
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 only conducted very limited exploration activities.
We cannot be more specific about the application of proceeds for exploration, because we do not know what we will find.
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 generally provide as much information about the underlying rocks. If warranted, core drilling would follow reverse circulation drilling.
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 report. We are not planning 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 solicit interest from other companies should we discover mineralized materials on our properties, 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 currently do not have 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 properties, 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 fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, we generated revenues and gross profit of $0, compared to $0 for the same period in 2012. Operating expenses were $114,294 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, compared to $101,078 for the same period in 2012. Exploration, accounting, and legal costs were higher in 2013 than in 2012, accounting for the difference.
Material Changes in Financial Condition
At June 30, 2013, we had assets of $151,229, including cash of $83,229, compared to assets of $133,410, including cash of $121,410, at June 30, 2012. The increase in assets is attributable to property acquisitions.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this report, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.
Since our inception on January 22, 2007, we have issued 7,761,000 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 the warrant holder. If we issue such notice, and the Redeemable Warrants are not exercised 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 $60,000 on property leases and spend a minimum of $60,000 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 June 30, 2013, our total assets were $151,229, and our total liabilities were $1,854. We had cash of $83,229 at June 30, 2013.
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, 2013 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.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.

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, 2013 and 2012 and the related statement of expenses, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from January 22, 2007 (inception) through June 30, 2013. 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, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended and for the period from January 22, 2007 (inception) through June 30, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations and has a working capital deficit as of June 30, 2013 which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

IDAHO NORTH RESOURCES CORPORATION (AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
For the Years Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
Idaho North Resources Corporation (“the Company”) was incorporated in 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, 2013 and 2012, 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. |
f) | Mineral Property Costs-The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on January 22, 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. |
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, 2013 and 2012, the Company has not incurred any asset retirement obligations. |

Notes to Financial Statements
For the Years Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
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. |
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. |
3. GOING CONCERN
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company had a net loss of $114,294 for the year ended June 30, 2013. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company intends to raise additional working capital either through debt or equity financing. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

For the Years Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
6. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s net deferred income tax asset as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, after applying enacted corporate income tax rates of 35%, are as follows:
2013 | 2012 | |||
Net operating loss carry forwards | $ | 60,000 | $ | 19,882 |
Less: Valuation allowance | (60,000) | (19,882) | ||
Net deferred tax asset | $ | - | $ | - |
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 2013 and 2012, 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 2013 and 2012 respectively, $171,100 and $56,800 and will expire in the years 2033 and 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.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
None. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through September 20, 2013, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.
None.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We conducted an evaluation (the “Evaluation”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (“Disclosure Controls”) as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on this Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.
The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
CEO and CFO Certifications
Appearing immediately following the Signatures section of this report there are Certifications of the CEO and the CFO. The Certifications are required in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Section 302 Certifications). This Item of this report, which you are currently reading is the information concerning the Evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures
of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, as of June 30, 2013, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended June 30, 2013 that has affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

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.
