a.

Basis of Presentation and Going Concern – The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023.

For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses since its inception. The Company has sufficient cash to fund normal operations and meet all of its obligations for the next 12 months without raising additional funds. However, we are an exploration company with exploration programs that require significant cash expenditures. A significant drilling program, such are those we have planned, can result in depletion of cash and return us to a position of insufficient cash to support normal operations for 12 months. The Company currently has no historical recurring source of revenue, and its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise equity and/or debt capital to fund future exploration and working capital requirements, or the Company’s ability to profitably execute its business plan. The Company’s plans for the long-term return to and continuation as a going concern include financing its future operations through sales of common stock and/or debt and the eventual profitable exploitation of its mining properties. While the Company has been successful in the past in obtaining financing, there is no assurance that it will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that such financing will be on terms acceptable to the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. If the going concern basis were not appropriate for these condensed consolidated financial statements, adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, the reported expenses and the balance sheet classifications used.

b.

 Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

c.

Principles of Consolidation – The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, BH Minerals USA, Inc.; Lookout Mountain LLC; Wolfpack Gold (Nevada) Corp.; Staccato Gold Resources, Ltd.; and Talapoosa Development Corp., after elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions.

d.

 Net Income (Loss) per Share – Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed as net income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock options, warrants, and other convertible securities.

The dilutive effect of convertible and outstanding securities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:
