Overview
As a natural resource exploration company, our focus is to acquire, explore and
develop natural resource properties which may host mineral reserves which may be
economical to extract commercially. With this in mind, we have identified and
secured interests in mining claims with respect to properties in Nevada. Current
cash on hand is sufficient to fund planned operations for fiscal year 2020 after
payment of accounts payable outstanding at December 31, 2019. Our officers and
directors and advisors, attorneys and consultants will continue to be utilized
to support all operations.

Plan of Operation
During the seven-month period ending December 31, 2019, we continued our
evaluation work on our Vernal project and Windy Peak project and began
evaluation work on our Rainbow Mountain project. Our funds are sufficient to
meet all planned activities as outlined below. The Company expects the short and
long-term funding of our operations going forward to be financed through
existing funds.
We do not anticipate a change to our company staffing levels. We remain focused
on keeping the staff compliment, which currently consists of our three
directors. Our staffing in no way hinders our operations, as outsourcing of
legal, accounting, and other operational duties is the most cost effective and
efficient manner of conducting the business of the Company.
We do not anticipate any equipment purchases in the twelve months ending
December 31, 2020.
