Risks related to our Business
The Company, and the securities of the Company, should be considered a highly speculative investment. The following risk factors should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in any of the Company's securities:
- The Company does not anticipate to generate any revenue in the foreseeable future. In the event that the Company generates any revenues in the future, then the Company intends to retain its earnings in order to finance growth.
- There are a number of outstanding securities and agreements pursuant to which common shares of the Company may be issued in the future. This will result in further dilution to the Company's shareholders.
- Governmental regulations, including those regulations governing the protection of the environment, taxes, labour standards, occupational health, waste disposal, mine safety and other matters, could have an adverse impact on the Company.
- Trading in the common shares of the Company may be halted or suspended or may be subject to cease trade orders at any time and for any reason, including, but not limited to, the failure by the Company to submit documents to the Regulatory Authorities within the required time periods.
- The exploration of mineral properties involves significant risks which even experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to avoid. The prices of metals have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years as it is affected by numerous factors which are beyond the Company’s control including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation or deflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rate fluctuations, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction methods. The effect of these factors on the price of metals, and therefore the economic viability of the Company’s interests in mineral exploration properties cannot be accurately predicted. Furthermore, changing conditions in the financial markets, and Canadian Income Tax legislation may have a direct adverse impact on the Company’s ability to raise funds for its interests in mineral exploration properties. A drop in the availability of equity financings will likely impede spending on mineral properties. As a result of all these significant risks, it is quite possible that the Company may lose its investments in the Company’s interest in the Extra High Property and the Acacia Property.
- Due to the current difficult market conditions for junior mineral exploration companies, the Company may not be able to raise sufficient funds to meet its ongoing obligations.
- The Company has outstanding debts, has working capital deficiency, has no revenues, has incurred operating losses, and has no assurances whatsoever that sufficient funding can be available for the Company to continue its operations uninterruptedly.
- In respect to the Company’s investment in the Mexican gaming company, there are no assurances whatsoever that in the future the Company can recover its investment.
- The market price of the Company’s common shares has experienced considerable volatility and may continue to fluctuate in the future. Furthermore, there is a limited trading market for the Company’s common shares and as such, the ability of investors to sell their shares cannot be assured.
- In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic related to the coronavirus known as COVID-19. The expected impacts on global commerce are anticipated to be far reaching. To date there have been significant wide-spread adverse financial impact globally, and the movement of people and goods has become restricted. As the Company has no material operating income or cash flows, it is reliant on additional financing to fund ongoing operations. An extended disruption may affect the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing. As such, the Company may not be able to raise the required funds and may not be able to conduct exploration works on its mineral property interests in a timely manner. The impact on the economy and the Company is not yet determinable; however, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in future periods may be materially affected. In particular, there may be heightened risk of asset impairment and liquidity thus creating further going concern uncertainty.

In order to meet this requirement, the Company intends to seek equity and/or debt financings through private placements and/or public offerings and/or loans. In the past, the Company has been successful in securing equity and debt financings in order to conduct its operations uninterruptedly. While the Company does not give any assurances whatsoever that in the future it will continue being successful in securing equity and/or debt financings in order to conduct its operations uninterruptedly, it is the Company’s intention to pursue these methods for future funding of the Company.

The convertible debentures are convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion price of $0.30 per share. The liability component of the convertible debentures was recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option, which was calculated based on the application of a market interest rate of 20%. The amount of $222,006 has been recorded under convertible debentures and the amount of $27,994 has been recorded under the equity portion of convertible debenture reserve. The Principal amount of $250,000 together with the accrued interest of the convertible debentures became due and payable on January 6, 2016 (the “Due Date”). However, on the Due Date the Company was unable to repay the Principal amount and the accrued interest to the two directors. Effective as of November 15, 2017, Bedo Kalpakian is no longer a director of the Company. As of the date of this MD&A, the Company has not repaid to the Company’s CEO Jake Kalpakian and to its former director Bedo Kalpakian the Principal amount of $250,000 together with the accrued interest.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
(a) Risk management overview
The Company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. This note presents information about the Company's exposure to each of the above risks, the Company's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company's management of capital. The Company employs risk management strategies and policies to ensure that any exposure to risk is in compliance with the Company's business objectives and risk tolerance levels. While the Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the Company's risk management framework, the Company's management has the responsibility to administer and monitor these risks.
(b) Fair value of financial instruments
The fair values of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, due to related parties, refundable subscription, loan payable and convertible debentures approximate their carrying values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
IFRS establishes a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
(c) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist of cash. The Company mitigates its exposure to credit loss associated with cash by placing its cash with a major financial institution.
(d) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they are due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due.
At March 31 2021, the Company had cash of $11 (December 31, 2020 - $9) available to apply against short-term business requirements and current liabilities of $599,055 (December 31, 2020 - $1,337,235). All of the current liabilities, are due within 90 days. Amounts due to related parties are due on demand. As of March 31, 2021, two convertible debentures are in default, and are due on demand. Liquidity risk is assessed as high.

(e) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates, will affect the Company's net earnings or the value of financial instruments. As at March 31, 2021, the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate risk, currency risk or other price risk on its financial assets and liabilities due to the short-term maturity of its financial liabilities and fixed interest rate on the convertible debentures.
