NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2014
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND CONTINUANCE OF BUSINESS
Del Toro Silver Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 9, 2006 as Candev Resource Exploration, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada and extra-provincially registered under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on August 15, 2006. Effective July 28, 2009, the Company completed a merger with its wholly owned subsidiary, Del Toro Silver Corp., a Nevada corporation which was incorporated on July 7, 2009 solely to change the Company’s name to Del Toro Silver Corp. The Company is an exploration stage company as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915, “Development Stage Entities”, and is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of January 31, 2014, the Company has not earned any revenue, has a working capital deficit of $947,354, and an accumulated deficit of $2,677,835. The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to generate future cash flows or obtain additional financing. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation – The financial statements and the related notes of the Company are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is October 31.
Interim Financial Statements – These interim unaudited financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended October 31, 2013.
The financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position at January 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three month period ended January 31, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for the period ended January 31, 2014 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.
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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.
Prepaid Expenses – Prepaid expenses are expenses paid by the Company in cash or stock before they are used or consumed.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses – Accounts payable and accrued expenses consist principally of amounts due to various suppliers and professional service providers.

JANUARY 31, 2014
Mineral Property Exploration and Development – The Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception 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.
Due to Related Parties – Due to related parties consist principally of amounts due to officers and directors of the Company, with respect to expenditures paid by officers and directors on behalf of the Company.
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”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.
NOTE 3 – MINERAL PROPERTIES
Dos Naciones
On July 7, 2009, and as amended on June 25, 2010, October 21, 2010, and July 9, 2012 the Company entered into an option agreement (the “Dos Naciones Agreement”) to acquire a 50% undivided interest in the Dos Naciones Property located in Sonora, Mexico. Under the terms of the Dos Naciones Agreement, the Company paid a purchase price of $29,658 (Cdn $34,000) and had an option to acquire a further 20% interest in the property. The Company was also required to issue an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of its common stock, which shares were issued, and to provide a payment of Cdn $800,000 by July 7, 2013. Because the Company did not pay Cdn $800,000 by the July 7, 2013 deadline, the option agreement was no longer applicable and management did not pursue renewing the Dos Naciones Agreement.
On September 13, 2013, the Company entered into a Termination Agreement with Alta Vista Ventures Ltd. wherein the Company agreed to terminate the Option Agreement dated July 7, 2009, as subsequently amended. Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the Company has transferred, in kind, its 50% ownership of the Dos Naciones Property to Alta Vista Ventures Ltd., such that Alta Vista Ventures Ltd. retains a 100% interest in the Dos Naciones Property.

General Overview
Our company was incorporated on January 9, 2006 as Candev Resource Exploration, Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada and extra-provincially registered under the laws of the Province of British Columbia on August 15, 2006. Effective July 28, 2009, our company completed a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary, Del Toro Silver Corp., a Nevada corporation, which was incorporated on July 7, 2009 solely to change our company’s name to Del Toro Silver Corp.
Our head office is located at 320 North Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada 89701.
Corporate History
Effective July 9, 2009, we completed the acquisition of a 50% undivided interest, and the option to acquire a further 30% interest in, the Dos Naciones Property, located in the state of Sonora, Mexico, in accordance with the terms of a property option agreement with Alta Vista Ventures Ltd. (formerly Yale Resources Ltd.) dated July 7, 2009. We entered into an amendment agreement dated June 25, 2010, amending certain terms of the option agreement.
In November 2011, our management announced that our company will begin to change our corporate strategy to target high grade precious metals properties, located in the western United States, that have the potential for near-term production and positive cash flow.
On July 9, 2012, we entered into a further amendment agreement to the Dos Naciones Property option agreement with Alta Vista as amended on June 25, 2010 and October 21, 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the further-amended agreement, Alta Vista agreed to grant our company an option to acquire a further 20% interest in the Dos Naciones Property (for a total of 70%) in consideration of the issuance of 250,000 more shares of our common stock upon signing of the agreement and the issuance of 400,000 more shares of our common stock to Alta Vista. Alta Vista also agreed to rescind its option to repurchase the property during the option period.
Under the terms of the July 9, 2012 amendment agreement, our company paid a purchase price of $29,658 (Cdn $34,000) and has an option to acquire a further 20% interest in the property subject to the following terms:
● |
Issuance of 150,000 common shares on or before January 25, 2010 (issued); |
● |
Issuance of 200,000 common shares on or before July 7, 2010 (issued); |
● |
Issuance of 250,000 common shares on or before October 21, 2010 (issued); |
● |
Issuance of 200,000 common shares on or before July 9, 2012 (issued); |
● |
Issuance of 200,000 common shares on or before September 15, 2012 (issued); and |
● |
Incur exploration expenditures of CDN $800,000 on or before July 7, 2013. |
Because our company did not incur expenditures of Cdn $800,000 by the July 7, 2013 deadline, the option agreement lapsed. Management did not pursue renewing the Dos Naciones Agreement and on September 13, 2013, we entered into a termination agreement with Alta Vista wherein we agreed to terminate the option agreement dated July 7, 2009, as subsequently amended.
On November 14, 2011, we entered into an asset sale agreement with Bowerman Holdings LLC to acquire up to 75% of 100% of Bowerman’s right, title and interest in and to 31 KM mining claims and 17 Raddlefinger mining claims, known as the Discovery Day Gold Property, located in Siskiyou County, California. Closing of the acquisition was scheduled to occur by May 12, 2012. Our company and Bowerman agreed to extensions of the closing date through May 31, 2013 and subsequently through November 30, 2013. Effective November 30, 2013, our company and Bowerman agreed to three additional 90 day extensions for the closing. As of the date of this report the agreement has not closed. During the quarter ended January 31, 2013, our company incurred $-0- in costs as part of this activity.
In consideration of a 60% interest in the Discovery Day Gold Property, we have agreed to pay to Bowerman an aggregate purchase price of $6,525,000, payable as follows:
● |
$25,000 payable by December 14, 2011 (as of November 30, 2013, the date of the payment has been extended for three additional 90 day extensions, from November 30, 2013, for the closing); |
● |
$4,500,000 payable upon closing by execution and delivery of a promissory note and a first position deed of trust against the Discovery Day Gold Property, which secures our company’s full repayment of the amount due under the promissory note; and |
● |
$2,000,000 payable upon closing by delivery of 40,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.05 per share (issued to Bowerman and certain assignees of Bowerman). We have agreed to use our good faith efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a reseller prospectus registering the shares within 160 days of the closing, failing which we will be required to pay a $10,000 fee to Bowerman in lieu of registration. |
The $4,500,000 secured by the promissory note and deed of trust shall accrue interest (on unpaid principal and interest) from closing at the rate of 10% interest per annum, compounded monthly. Principal and interest shall be due and payable in full on closing by way of a balloon payment equal to the amount of the entire balance then-due. We may prepay all or any part of the sum due under the promissory note any time without penalty. Delinquent payments under the note will be subject to a late fee equal to 10% of the delinquent payment amount. Subject to timely payment of the promissory note and all consideration due and payable, our company is entitled to acquire, within 48 months from closing, up to an additional 15% interest in the Discovery Day Gold Property at a rate of $300,000 per 1%.
In addition to the $6,525,000 aggregate purchase price, we have agreed to incur, within 36 months of the closing, not less than $1,500,000 in exploration, development or operating expenses in respect of the Discovery Day Gold Property. Our company’s work commitment shall be carried out in accordance with a joint operations agreement between our company and Bowerman, also entered into on November 14, 2011, whereby Bowerman and our company have agreed to jointly develop the Discovery Day Gold Property through January 1, 2017.
Pursuant to the agreement, our company and Bowerman shall form a single purpose entity to serve as the sole operator of the Discovery Day Gold Property, with our company serving as manager of the entity. Subject to and upon completion of the $1,500,000, 36-month work commitment to be financed by our company, subsequent work programs and budgets shall be determined by our company at our sole discretion, and the operating costs of the entity shall be shared by our company and Bowerman on a pro-rata basis with their respective ownership interest in the Discovery Day Gold Property. Net proceeds of the entity shall also be divided between our company and Bowerman on a pro-rata basis with their respective ownership interest in the Discovery Day Gold Property.
Bowerman's parent company has caused one of its wholly owned subsidiaries to conditionally license to the entity the use of all equipment, improvements and other items of personal property and improvements overlying the Discovery Day Gold Property. Our company shall have the option to exercise the license by paying to Bowerman a license fee of $100,000 per year. At our company’s election and sole determination, our company may pay each license fee either in cash, in common shares of our company discounted by 20% of the then-market value, or by crediting the value of the license fee toward Bowerman’s financial obligation to pay its pro rata interest for work performed under the joint operations agreement, provided that Bowerman’s obligation shall not accrue until our company’s $1,500,000 work commitment has been fully expended. Our company shall also have the option to buy out the licensed equipment and improvements. The entity shall be charged with maintaining, repairing, servicing, supplying, insuring and otherwise keeping in good condition through due care all of the equipment and improvements for the duration of the license.
Both Patrick Fagen and Greg Painter, our two directors and officers, are indirectly majority interest holders in Bowerman Holdings LLC, as they have a direct ownership interest in Trinity Alps Resources, Inc., which is the sole member of Bowerman Holdings LLC. Collectively, Messrs. Fagen and Painter hold a majority interest in Trinity Alps Resources, Inc.
On August 31, 2012, and as amended on September 27, 2012, our company entered into a partial purchase option agreement with Natchez Pass, LLC to acquire up to a 67.5% interest, in leasehold interests to land in Pershing County, Nevada. In order to earn the option over a five year period, our company was required to make an aggregate cash payment of $4,005,000 to, or on behalf of, Natchez Pass and certain amounts for the work program on the Natchez Pass Property, and issue up to 5,000,000 restricted shares of common stock to Natchez Pass. If our company fully exercised the option to earn 67.5% interest, our company had an option to earn up to an additional 7.5% interest at the price of $150,000 per point.
On June 6, 2013, we entered into a purchase option termination agreement with Natchez Pass LLC wherein we agreed to terminate the partial purchase option agreement dated August 31, 2012. Pursuant to the purchase option termination agreement, we have been released from all obligations, including all monies owed at that time, under the agreement. Our company has been granted a 5% net smelter royalty related to all the claims under the agreement and shall be paid 5% of the gross sale price which shall not be less than $300,000. Our company issued 2,000,000 shares of our common stock and Natchez Pass shall retain all money paid to it under the partial purchase option agreement.
During the year ended October 31, 2013, our company incurred $10,500 in mineral properties costs associated with Natchez Pass and was released from liabilities totaling $40,865, which was included in other income on the consolidated statements of operations. Additionally the 2,000,000 shares issued were valued at $120,000 and included in current year losses. Our company has accumulated $172,548 of net costs on the Natchez Pass Property, since inception of the agreement.
Patrick Fagen, an officer and director of our company, is a direct minority interest holder in Natchez Pass, LLC.
Our Current Business
In November 2011, our management announced that a change of our corporate strategy from that of a junior exploration company to one which targets high grade precious metals properties, located in the western United States, with the potential for near-term production and positive cash flow. Most junior explorers and major explorers have had little interest in such properties due to permitting issues, smaller resource potential and lower projected production rates. We believe that this niche market offers many opportunities ignored or overlooked by the junior gold companies. Our new corporate strategy is to best position our company to capitalize on this opportunity and build shareholder value.
We have established five performance milestones for this strategy which include: 1) identifying and purchasing high grade prospects and/or past producers that can be cost-effectively put into production, 2) designing an efficient development plan tailored for each property, 3) obtaining the necessary operating permits, 4) validating the status of the property through an independently written Canadian National Instrument 43-101 technical report and 5) monetizing the asset either through production, a sale or joint venture. We plan to have several such high-grade mines in the development pipeline and achieving each of these milestones is expected to build significant value to each asset. Throughout the development process our company will constantly assess the monetization options available for each of the advanced properties with the intention of putting the most profitable into production ourselves and selling or optioning the others to generate additional cash flow.
Based on our experience, historically strong gold prices along with the popularity of owning physical gold has generated a significant demand in the private and international markets for turnkey, permitted, cost-effective gold producers. We intend to be the industry leader in this market and build shareholder value by diligently implementing our new corporate strategy.
In keeping with this strategy, on November 14, 2011, we entered into an asset sale agreement with Bowerman Holdings LLC to acquire up to 75% of 100% of the Bowerman’s right, title and interest in and to 31 KM mining claims and 17 Raddlefinger mining claims located in Siskiyou County, California. This claim block contains 5 mines which comprised the historical Knownothing mining district and is now commonly known as the Discovery Day Gold Property. A Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report was written on the property in August 2009 and is available on our website.
The claim block is owned and controlled 100% by Trinity Alps Resources, Inc. with a 2% NSR production royalty payable to Patrick Fagen, president of Trinity Alps. Both Patrick Fagen and Greg Painter, our two directors and officers, are indirectly majority interest holders in Bowerman, as they have a direct ownership interest in Trinity Alps, which is the sole member of Bowerman. Collectively, Messrs. Fagen and Painter hold a majority interest in Trinity Alps.
This property exemplifies our company’s strategy to acquire historical high grade, near term production properties with relatively low operating costs. Our company plans to put the mine back into production in the very near future and commence exploration efforts to better define the resources of the other mines on the property and the entire Knownothing district.
Closing of the acquisition was scheduled to occur by February 12, 2012, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. Pursuant to the terms of the asset sale agreement, on November 13, 2012, our company and Bowerman extended the closing date through May 31, 2013 and subsequently extended the closing date through November 30, 2013. Effective November 30, 2013, our company and Bowerman agreed to three additional 90 day extensions for the closing.
We have also granted permission for Bowerman to entertain third party purchase offers for the claims, any sale of which would be subject to our approval, and include compensation to us for a buyout of our rights under the agreement.
On March 15, 2013, we signed a joint venture partnership terms agreement with Noble Mining Inc. with respect to the acquisition of a toll milling facility in the western United States. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Noble Mining will provide financing of up to $6,000,000 for the acquisition, development, permitting and operating capital for the toll milling partnership. Our company will be responsible for securing and delivering the toll milling facility through the necessary permitting requirements in order to process ore, locating mining customers that will contract with the toll mill to process ore, and managing day to day operations of the toll mill.
Once both parties have successfully executed their respective roles and responsibilities, Noble Mining and our company will share ownership and profits from the toll mill in a 50/50 split. Noble Mining and our company will also partner together with respect to the acquisition of mines that they become aware of through servicing the toll mill customers. The joint venture partnership terms agreement was to terminate 180 days from March 15, 2013. Noble Mining has extended the term for 180 days from October 11, 2013 (expiring on April 9, 2014).
Plan of Operation
Our plan of operation is to continue to evaluate, and if warranted close on the acquisition of our interest in the Discovery Day property, following which, in conjunction with our partners, we intend to carry out rehabilitation and exploration work on our Discovery Day property in order to ascertain whether it possesses additional commercially exploitable quantities of gold, silver, and other metals. We intend to primarily rehabilitate the mine workings in order that operations can re-commence, as well as explore for additional gold, silver, and copper. We will not be able to determine whether or not the Discovery Day property contains a further commercially exploitable mineral deposit, or reserve, until appropriate rehabilitation and exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation based on that work indicates economic viability.
Cash Requirements
We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next twelve months:

Ongoing professional expenses associated with our company being a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 |
100,000 | |||
General and administrative expenses |
50,000 | |||
Total Expenses |
$ | 150,000 |
In addition to the above expense items, as we proceed with the Discovery Day Property, we shall incur the following additional costs:
On or before date of closing of the asset sale agreement with Bowerman, our company will pay Bowerman $25,000 pursuant to the current agreement. Additionally, during the subsequent 12 months from the closing, we anticipate spending an aggregate of $270,000 in the associated categories for operations at the Discovery Day property:
● |
$50,000 for Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and Cal-OSHA safety compliance; |
● |
$75,000 for underground rehabilitation; |
● |
$15,000 for environmental permitting compliance; |
● |
$35,000 for equipment costs; |
● |
$25,000 for fuel; |
● |
$20,000 for supplies; and |
● |
$50,000 for general and administrative items. |
Trinity Alps, the parent company to Bowerman, has informed us that it has spent in excess of $130,000 (unaudited) since June 10, 2013, to prepare the Discovery Day mine for operations.
As January 31, 2014 we had cash of $1,579.
Based on the above estimate of $445,000 for our expenses for the next twelve months we do not have enough funds to proceed with our plan of operation over the next twelve months. Note that this amount does not include any funds that may be required under the terms of our agreement regarding the Discovery Day Property. We plan to rely on equity financing in order to raise any additional funds necessary to pursue our plan of operation and to fund our working capital deficit in order to enable us to pay our accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any equity financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any equity financings.

We anticipate that we will incur approximately $445,000 in operating expenses, including professional, legal and accounting expenses associated with our reporting requirements under the Exchange Act during the next twelve months. As of January 31, 2014 we had cash of $1,579. Accordingly, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan.
Cash Used for Operating Activities
We used cash in operating activities in the amount of $34,509 during the three month period ended January 31, 2014 and $52,701 during the three month period ended January 31, 2013. Cash used in operating activities for both periods was funded by cash from financing activities. The $18,111 decrease in cash used compared to the three month period end January 31, 2014 was primarily due to less cash used for mineral property costs.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
We generated cash of $3,283 from financing activities during the three month period ended January 31, 2014 compared to cash generated of $40,000 by financing activities during the three month period ended January 31, 2014. The $36,717 decrease in cash generated in the current period is due to a $28,217 payment on a related party note and $8,500 less in borrowing.
Going Concern
The financial statements accompanying this report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that our company will continue to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our company has not generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of our company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our shareholders, the ability of our company to obtain necessary equity financing to achieve our operating objectives, and the attainment of profitable operations. As of January 31, 2014, our company has accumulated losses of $2,677,835 since inception. We do not have sufficient working capital to enable us to carry out our stated plan of operation for the next twelve months.
Due to the uncertainty of our ability to meet our current operating expenses and the capital expenses noted above in their report on the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2013, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements and the related notes of our company are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. Our company’s fiscal year end is October 31.
Interim Financial Statements
These interim unaudited financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with our company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended October 31, 2013.
The financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all normal recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly our company’s financial position at January 31, 2014, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three month periods ended January 31, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for the period ended January 31, 2014 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.
Mineral Property Exploration and Development
Our company has been in the exploration stage since its inception 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. Our 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.
Due to Related Parties
Due to related parties consist principally of amounts due to officers and directors of our company, in respect of expenditures paid by officers and directors on behalf of our company.
Carrying value of Convertible Debentures
Our company records convertible debt in accordance with ASC 479-20”Debt with Conversion”. Each convertible note is subject to the terms of the loan agreement. If at issuance, a note contains a beneficial conversion feature, our company records the convertible note at the discounted value of the debt without inclusion of the value of the beneficial conversion feature.
Stock Based Compensation
Our company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Based Compensation” and ASC 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Our 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.
