The Company’s name change was declared effective by FINRA on November 22, 2013. Additionally, the Company changed its symbol from “AMOK” to “DDDX;” the symbol change was declared effective by FINRA on December 23, 2013. In addition, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a 50:1 reverse stock split. All references to shares outstanding in this filing have been restated to reflect the indicated reverse stock split.
Business Summary
3DX Industries, Inc. is a public company trading on the OTCQB market under the symbol DDDX. The Company was previously traded under the symbol “AMOK” and is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties on an international scale for future commercial development and production. The Company focused primarily on projects with Gold, Silver and base metal potential. Due to a downturn in the resource and exploration sector, the Company decided that a new business focus would be beneficial and changed its name to 3DX Industries, Inc., effective November 22, 2013. 3DX Industries, Inc.’s new business focus is in the manufacturing sector through precision machining and additive manufacturing including 3D Metal printing. On December 18, 2013, the Company entered into an Equipment Purchase Agreement with Roger Janssen pursuant to which the Company purchased certain assets of Key Manufacturing (Key), a precision manufacturing company with over 30 years in the industry.
The Company’s manufacturing services include additive manufacturing through its 3D Metal Printing and Composite Printing Systems, and more traditional manufacturing methods using CNC precision machining processes. 3DX uses the M-Flex 3D Metal Printing System from the ExOne Company. The 3D Metal printing process materializes an object—or mold for an object—layer by layer out of powdered material, a chemical binder and a digital file. The process of metal printing allows for the creation, or materialization of Complex internal geometries, undercuts, angled passages and multi-piece assemblies with accuracy and less waste/environmental impact. The M-Flex 3D Printing System is highly accurate and capable of printing complex geometric parts.
The Company uses a Z-Corp Composite printing system for its composite parts and for some initial pro-type work to give clients the look and feel of the finished part or object prior to final production. 3DX also has a fully operational CNC machine shop in house consisting of thirteen various CNC machining centers including two fanuc robo-drills and numerous additional support equipment. Having a precision machining center under the same roof as our additive manufacturing systems allows for the complete one stop shop advantage we offer to our customers. 3DX will continually seek to expand the range of size and geometric complexity of the parts we can make using these processes The Company will continue to expand the variety of materials we are able to support and to identify additional manufacturing processes to which we can apply using the latest technology in order to better serve our client base.
We have the ability to serve product developers worldwide who bring new ideas to market in the form of products, both industrial and consumer, containing one or more custom parts and components. Many of these product developers use 3D CAD software to create digital models representing their custom part designs that are then used to create physical parts for prototyping, functional testing, market evaluation and/or production. Custom prototype parts play a critical role in the product development process, as they provide product developers with the ability to confirm their intended performance requirements and explore design alternatives.
Additive manufacturing processes such as 3D Metal Printing and 3D Composite Printing can be used to quickly and efficiently produce a physical representation of a part or product. As technology in this area continues to evolve these parts are becoming more accurate and in many instances are able to meet the product developers’ requirements for dimensional accuracy, cosmetics and material properties. There are instances where the use of more traditional manufacturing processes is required such as CNC Precision machining, in order to finalize the proto-type or production part. As a supplement to additive manufacturing, our CNC machining facility can be used to produce extreme precision, high-quality custom parts in metal or plastic. Initial functional testing, market evaluation and production run tests are typically manufactured using our 3D Composite Printing System. With the advancement of technology in the additive manufacturing arena, 3D Metal Printing and Composite Printing can yield a part with the look, feel and performance of the finished product.
The ability to meet our clients’ needs both in the additive manufacturing sector and in the traditional precision machining arena will make 3DX Industries a leader in the manufacturing market. Having both processes in house is a significant time and cost saving advantage for 3DX’s clients and will allow 3DX to integrate seamlessly into the metal printing market. 3DX is in a position to provide 3D Metal Printing, 3D Composite Printing, Precision Tooling, 3D Rapid Proto-Typing, CNC Milling, Large Capacity Milling and Injection Mold Tooling.
Competition
We compete in a marketplace that is still primarily using conventional methods of product-making and prototype development and the market is currently limited to major manufacturing corporations mainly for in house product development. Our Company focus is on the design and manufacture of corporate and consumer products using both 3D metal printing technology and conventional precision machining. This is a massive market covering a range of industries from aviation, automotive, military and medical to consumer products, such as Jewelry and Fashion, as well as technology proto-type products and equipment. Using 3D metal printing technology, 3DX will have the capability to provide products and services to anyone requiring a manufactured part.
We believe that we have competitive strengths that position us favorably and will enable us to become a leader in our markets. We also believe that currently there are few “job shop” type manufacturers such as 3DX, capable of offering precision machining services, 3D Metal printing and 3D Composite printing. Having all of these manufacturing process’s under one roof, and the expertise to integrate these process’s we believe is an advantage to our customers and sets us apart from many of our competitors. However, our industry is evolving rapidly and other companies, including potentially larger and more established companies with developed technological capabilities, may begin to focus on our market. These companies could more directly compete with us, along with our existing competitors, and both could also launch new products and services that we do not offer that may quickly gain market acceptance. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our ability to attract customers.
Industry Trends
3D Metal Printing is quickly becoming known throughout the manufacturing industry as “cutting edge” as 3D printers can manufacture everything from toys to automotive parts. Not to be confused with 3D Plastic Printing, which has been around for some time, 3D Metal printing is a new and innovative method that will change the way products are currently manufactured.
Manufacturing can be described as either additive or subtractive. Subtractive manufacturing, which includes milling and lathing, is comparable to sculpting wherein a manufacturer starts with a block of metal which is chipped and shaved away until a statue or engine part emerges. In comparison, additive manufacturing is conducted through the successive layering of materials which come together in order to make one metal piece. Additive manufacturing is a more efficient process that can be used to create designs that cannot be made using traditional techniques. Although these techniques are in the process of change, much of manufacturing today still falls in the subtractive category.

Rodeo Creek Project, Nevada
On March 23, 2012, the Company and Trio entered into an agreement that modified certain terms of the original Agreement (the “Modified Agreement”). During the earn-in-period, the Company is to provide $5,500,000 in funding to cover operational costs. Under the original Agreement, $1,500,000 was to be funded during the 2010 budget year, $2,000,000 was to be funded during the 2011 budget year and $2,000,000 was to be funded during the 2012 budget year. The Modified Agreement eliminates the annual funding requirements and extends the due date of the $5,500,000 funding to December 31, 2013. Under the original Agreement, the Company was required to pay a minimum annual royalty during the earn-in period to Trio of which $75,000 was paid upon signing of the Agreement, $100,000 was paid on April 1, 2011 and $150,000 was to be paid on April 1, 2012. Under the Modified Agreement, the $150,000 payment due April 1, 2012 has been deferred and will be due and payable on or before April 1, 2013 and will be applied against the $5,500,000 funding. In consideration for modifying the terms of the original Agreement and extending the due date, the Company issued Trio 2,788 restated shares of its common shares valued at $11,152, which was charged to operations and included in exploratory costs.
In addition, pursuant to the original agreement the Company is required to issue Trio shares of its common stock equaling 0.20% of its total issued and outstanding as of February 22, 2010. Upon expenditure of a minimum of $2,000,000 on the claims, Trio shall receive an additional 0.10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. Upon expending a minimum of $4,000,000 on the claims, Trio shall receive an additional 0.10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. Upon expenditure of $5,500,000 on the claims, Trio shall receive a final 0.10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. All shares issued shall be restricted common shares and will be stamped with the applicable hold period. On February 22, 2010, the Company issued 2,884 restated shares of its common stock to Trio valued at $242,323, based upon the trading price of the shares on the date of issuance. On October 25, 2011, the Company issued 1,442 shares of its common stock to Trio valued at $5,769, based upon the trading price of the shares on the date of issuance. On March 23, 2012, the Company issued 2,788 restated shares of its common stock to Trio valued at $11,152, based upon the trading price of the shares on the date of issuance. The values of the shares have been charged to operations and included in exploration costs.
Once the Company has provided $5,500,000 in funding for the project, the Company and Trio shall fund the operational costs jointly, with the Company providing 75% of the funds and Trio providing 25% of the funds. As of the date of this annual report, the Company funded a total of $2,400,000 in the property’s operational costs as defined under the Modified Agreement. The funds paid have been charged to operations and included in exploratory costs. As it continues to be difficult to raise funds for exploration projects at this time, management is reviewing its commitment to Rodeo Creek and will be reviewing its options relating to continued involvement in this project.
On February 13, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Trio to modify the terms of the above indicated final minimum royalty payment of $150,000, which was due on April 1, 2013. In exchange for paying $15,000 upon the signing of the agreement and $5,000 on August 1, 2013, the due date of the remaining $130,000 is extended to October 1, 2013, with the date when the full $5,500,000 must be spent on the Rodeo Claims is extended to December 31, 2014. Of the $20,000 that is due, $15,000 was paid on February 20, 2013 and $5,000 was paid on March 15, 2013. The $20,000 was charged to exploratory costs.
The Company failed to pay the required $130,000 that was due on October 1, 2013 and is in default under the agreement. Management is currently in discussions with Trio.
McNeil Claims, Canada
On October 8, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Trio Gold Corp. to assign all of its claims to Trio subject to it spending a total of CDN $5mm on or before December 31, 2018. The agreement calls for an exploration expenditure of CDN $500,000 on or before December 31, 2015, a further CDN $2.0mm on or before December 31, 2017 and a final CDN $2.5mm on or before December 31, 2019. Once the $5mm is expended, the claims will be assigned to Trio, and in exchange, Trio will grant the Company a 5% Net Smelter Return on production. The NSR can be purchased from the Company by Trio for a total of CDN $2mm per each 1%, totaling CDN $10mm.
Night Hawk Property
The Company was unable to make its payment obligations on the Night Hawk property, which were due in November. The Night Hawk Claims border the McNeil claims to the west and consist of approximately 17,350 acres. Prior to the due date the Company entered into an agreement with Trio Gold whereby the Company would assign all its right title and interest in the Night Hawk Claims to Trio Gold in exchange for a 5% Net Smelter Royalty on the property. The NSR can be purchased by Trio for a price of two million dollars per 1% of the NSR.
ITEM 3. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against our company, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which our director, officer or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to our interest.
ITEM 4. | MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES |
Not Applicable.
PART II
ITEM 5. | MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS MARKET INFORMATION |
Our common stock has been quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCQB) since March 6, 2009 under the symbol “UKRA”. Subsequently, the Company changed its name to Amarok Resources and was quoted under the symbol “AMOK” from February 23, 2010 until December 23, 2013. On November 22, 2013, the Company’s name change from Amarok Resources, Inc. to 3DX Industries, Inc. became effective. Subsequently on December 23, 2013, the Company’s symbol changed from “AMOK” to “DDDX”. Because we are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, our common stock may be less liquid, receive less coverage by security analysts and news media, and generate lower prices than might otherwise be obtained if it were listed on a national securities exchange.
The following table sets forth, for the fiscal quarters indicated, the high and low sales prices per share of our common stock, as derived from quotations provided by Yahoo Finance.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities;
During the year ended October 31, 2013, the Company did not issue any shares of Common Stock.
Subsequent to the year end, on November 23, 2013, 30,000,000 shares of restricted common stock were issued to the Company’s CEO, Roger Janssen, pursuant to his Executive Employment Agreement dated December 18, 2013.
Re-Purchase of Equity Securities
None.
Dividends
Effective February 23, 2010, the Company authorized a 60:1 stock split.
On September 26, 2013 (the “Record Date”), the Company’s Board of Directors and shareholders holding the majority of issued and outstanding common stock approved a One (1) for Fifty (50) reverse stock split of its $0.001 par value common stock (the “Reverse Split”). The Reverse Split was declared effective by FINRA on November 22, 2013 (the “Effective Date”).
Based upon 79,025,760 shares of common stock outstanding on the Record Date, the reverse split decreased the outstanding shares of common stock to 1,581,409 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The reverse stock split affected all of the Company’s stockholders uniformly and did not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interests in the Company, except to the extent that the reverse stock split resulted in fractional share ownership. Further, any outstanding options, warrants and rights to purchase common stock as of the Effective Date were also subject to the adjustment and were decreased accordingly.
Other than the foregoing, we have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock nor do we anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, we expect to retain any future earnings to finance our operations and expansion. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings levels, capital requirements, any restrictive loan covenants and other factors the Board considers relevant.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Plan of Operation
As of October 31, 2013, we had $2,460 of cash on hand. We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $436,272 during the year ended October 31, 2013. These operating expenses were comprised of general and administrative expenses, professional fees, directors’ and consulting fees, and other miscellaneous expenses.
The Company is in the early stage of operations and has not yet generated any revenues. Management cannot guarantee that the Company will be successful in its business operations and the Company’s business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources and possible cost overruns.
Our current cash holdings will not satisfy our liquidity requirements and we will require additional financing to pursue our planned business activities. We are in the process of seeking equity and or debt financing to fund our operations over the next 12 months; however, management provides no assurance that future financing will be available to the Company on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, the Company may be unable to continue, develop, or expand its operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to the Company’s existing shareholders.
In December of 2013 the company purchased its first 3D Metal Printing System, the M-Flex 3D Metal Printer for $750,000. Terms of the purchase required the company to pay in three installments, the first being $75,000 upon initial signing of the purchase order, which was paid; half the balance to be paid on or before June 1, 2014 and the remaining balance due on or before September 1, 2014.
On December 18, 2013, the Company entered into that certain Equipment Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Mr. Janssen pursuant to which the Company shall purchase certain equipment necessary to the business of the Company, as provided for in Exhibit A of the Purchase Agreement, in exchange for a convertible promissory note for $500,000 USD (the “Note”). The Purchase Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 31, 2013, incorporated by reference herein.
Revenues
The Company did not generate any revenues during the years ended October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012.
Expenses
For the year ended October 31, 2013, total operating expenses were $436,272 as compared to $454,887 for the year ended October 31, 2012. This is a 4% decrease in operating expenses for 2013 compared to 2012 and can be attributed to 1) a reduction in exploratory costs amounting of $101,592 ($20,000 in 2013 compared to $121,592 in 2012); 2) an increase in management fees in 2013 for the additional compensation of $148,077 recognized on the issuance of the option granted to Santeo Financial Corp. to convert a portion of accrued management fees due it into common shares (See Note 4 to the financial statements); 3) a reduction in professional fees in 2013 amounting to $59,461 ($55,465 in 2013 compared to $114,926 in 2012); and 4) a reduction in other general and administrative costs of $5,249 ($18,614 in 2013 compared to $23,863 in 2012).

Interest Expense
Interest expense for the year ended October 31, 2013 totaled $(10,278) and mainly consisted of interest accruing on certain outstanding accounts and notes payable. Interest expense for the twelve months ended October 31, 2012 was $0.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Growth of our operations will be based on our ability to internally finance from operating cash flows, and the ability to raise funds through equity and/or debt financing to increase sales and production. Our primary sources of liquidity are: (i) investor loans; and (ii) financing activities. Our cash balance as of October 31, 2013 is $2,460.
Our Company has funded some of its operations through debt financing with related and non-related party transactions,
The Company is not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties which may affect its future liquidity.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare for financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management’s estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Going Concern
For the year ended October 31, 2013, our Company has a comprehensive loss of $0 and an accumulated deficit of $5,059,178. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.
Future Financing
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.
Inflation
The amounts presented in the financial statements do not provide for the effect of inflation on our operations or financial position. The net operating losses shown would be greater than reported if the effects of inflation were reflected either by charging operations with amounts that represent replacement costs or by using other inflation adjustments.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of October 31, 2013, we had no off-balance sheet transactions that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Contractual Obligations
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and applicable to it. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of 3DX Industries, Inc.
(formerly Amarok Resources, Inc.)
(An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of 3DX Industries, Inc. (formerly Amarok Resources, Inc.) (an exploration stage company) as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, and cash flows for the two years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the cumulative since February 1, 2010 (inception of exploration stage) to October 31, 2013, and the statement of stockholder’s equity since February 1, 2010 (inception of exploration stage) to October 31, 2013. 3DX Industries, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the 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 misstatement. 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 also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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 3DX Industries, Inc. (formerly Amarok Resources, Inc.) (an exploration stage company) as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the two years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the cumulative since February 1, 2010 (inception of exploration stage) to October 31, 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 1 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred net losses from operations and has no source of revenues, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Amarok Resources, Inc. (“Amarok” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on October 23, 2008 under the name Ukragro Corporation. The Company’s principal activity is the exploration and development of mineral properties for future commercial development and production.
On January 29, 2010, the Company filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation changing its name to Amarok Resources, Inc. In the same amendment, the Company changed its authorized capital to 175,000,000 shares of common stock at a restated par value of $0.001. Effective February 23, 2010, the Company authorized a 60:1 stock split.
Effective February 1, 2010, the Company entered the exploratory stage as defined under the provisions of Accounting Codification Standard 915-10.
On September 26, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors, having received the written consent of shareholders holding a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, approved an amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change the Company’s name from Amarok Resources, Inc. to 3DX Industries, Inc. and increased the number of shares authorized to 185,000,000 of which 175,000,000 have been designated common shares and 10,000,000 have been designated preferred shares. Also on September 26, 2013, the Company authorized a 50:1 reverse stock split. The accompanying financial statements have been restated to reflect the change in capital and stock split as if they occurred at the Company’s inception.
Going Concern
The Company has incurred net losses since inception, and as of October 31, 2013 had a combined accumulated deficit of $5,059,178 and negative working capital of $461,761. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Management recognizes that the Company must generate additional funds to enable it to continue operating. Management intends to raise additional financing through debt and or equity financing and by other means that it deems necessary, with the goal of moving forward and sustaining a prolonged growth in its strategy phases. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in raising additional capital. Further, even if the company raises additional capital, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitability or positive cash flow. If management is unable to raise additional capital and expected significant revenues do not result in positive cash flow, the Company will not be able to meet its obligations and may have to cease operations
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The Company follows accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments and other short-term investments with a maturity date of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.
Mining Costs
Costs incurred to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire property are capitalized when incurred. General exploration costs and costs to maintain rights and leases are expensed as incurred. Management periodically reviews the recoverability of the capitalized mineral properties. Management takes into consideration various information including, but not limited to, historical production records taken from previous mining operations, results of exploration activities conducted to date, estimated future prices and reports and opinions of outside consultants. When it is determined that a project or property will be abandoned or its carrying value has been impaired, a provision is made for any expected loss on the project or property.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Pursuant to ASC No. 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” the Company is required to estimate the fair value of all financial instruments included on its balance sheets as of October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012. The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts payables and a short-term note payable. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value.
Loss Per Share of Common Stock
The Company follows Accounting Standard Codification Topic No. 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC No. 260”) that requires the reporting of both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. In accordance with ASC No. 260, any anti-dilutive effects on net earnings (loss) per share are excluded. The Company had no potential common shares outstanding at October 31, 2013. Potential common shares at October 31, 2012 that have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share include common stock warrants exercisable into 60,000 shares of common stock, common stock options exercisable into 15,000 shares of common stock, and an option to convert approximately $174 in fees due Santeo Financial Corporation at October 31, 2013 into 173,762 common shares.
Convertible Debt Instruments
If the conversion features of conventional debt instruments provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value at issuance, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options.” In those circumstances, the convertible debt is recorded net of the discount related to the BCF, and the Company amortizes the discount to operations over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
Issuances Involving Non-cash Consideration
All issuances of the Company’s stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a dollar amount equaling the market value of the shares issued on the date the shares were issued for such services. The non-cash consideration received pertains to consulting services.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under Accounting Standard Codification Topic 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. This topic defines a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In accordance with the Topic, the cost of stock-based compensation is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. The value of the stock-based award is determined using Binomial or Black-Scholes option-pricing models, whereby compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the award as determined by the pricing model at the grant date or other measurement date over the amount that must be paid to acquire the stock. The resulting amount is charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the period in which the Company expects to receive the benefit, which is generally the vesting period.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the 2012 amounts to 2013 classifications for comparative purposes.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company’s management has evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements since the last audit through the issuance date of these financial statements. In the Company’s opinion, none of the recent accounting pronouncements will have a material effect on the financial statements.
NOTE 3 – MINING CLAIMS
McNeil Claims, Canada
On March 24, 2011 the Company signed an agreement with Warrior Ventures, Inc. (“Warrior”), a private company, to acquire 100% of the McNeil Gold Property. The McNeil property is located within the Abitibi Greenstone belt, approximately 30 miles southeast of Timmins, Ontario, Canada and approximately 35 miles west of Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada. The purchase price of the property was in exchange for Warrior receiving 28,000 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock along with an option to purchase 28,000 of the Company common shares of the Company at a price of $1.00 per common share until October 1, 2011. Any options remaining unexercised as of September 1, 2011 may be exercised at a price of $1.25 per common share until March 31, 2012, after which the option to purchase any shares of Amarok automatically terminates. The Company initially valued the 28,000 shares at $784,000 based upon the trading price of the common shares on the date of issuance. The Company valued the 28,000 options at $98,724 using a binomial option model with a trading price of $0.56 per share, risk-free interest rate of 0.26%, and volatility of 93.221%. The total of $882,724 was capitalized as mining properties. At October 31, 2011, the Company recognized an impairment of $322,000 on the reduction in the fair value of mining claim based upon the agreed upon price of $0.33 per share pursuant to the underlying purchase agreement. The $0.33 per share was based upon the trading price of the Company’s common share on the March 23, 2011. Through October 31, 2013, the Company has incurred additional acquisition costs totaling $91,606. The capitalized costs of the McNeil claim as of October 31, 2013 amounted to $652,330.
On October 8, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Trio Gold Corp. (“Trio”) to assign 100% of its claims in the McNeil property, subject to a 5% net smelter royalty, to Trio once Trio has incurred exploration and administrative costs totaling $5,000,000(CND) based upon the following schedule:
On or before December 31, 2015 $500,000
On or before December 31, 2017 $2,000,000
On or before December 31, 2019 $2,500,000
Trio is a company incorporated in the Province of Alberta, Canada. Trio’s current President is the father of one of the Company’s former executive officers, who resigned as of September 17, 2013.
Nighthawk Claims, Canada
The Company had staked 35 claims on property adjacent to the McNeil known as the Night Hawk Property. The acquisition cost associated with this claims totaled $37,380. The Company did not have sufficient funds to pay the fees required to renew the 35 claims and on October 8, 2013 it assigned its total interest in these claims to Trio in exchange for a 5% royalty on the net smelter returns generated from these claims. The Company granted Trio the option to purchase each 1% royalty interest for $2,000,000(CND). The Company did not report any gain or loss on this transaction and valued the 5% net royalty interest at the property’s current acquisition cost of $37,380.
Rodeo Creek Project, Nevada
On February 22, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with Carlin Gold Resources, Inc., (“Carlin”) in which Carlin assigned the Company all of its rights, title, and interest in an exploration agreement between it and Trio. The assigned exploration agreement was dated January 28, 2010. In consideration for the assignment of the interest in the exploration agreement, the Company paid Carlin $1 and issued 2,000 shares of its common stock, valued at $168,000 based upon the trading price of the shares on the date of issuance. The value of these shares has been charged to operations and included in exploration costs.
Trio has leased and has an option to purchase a 100% interest in 29 unpatented lode mining claims located in Nevada within the Carlin Gold Trend (the “Claims”). The Claims are subject to a 1.5% net smelter return (“NSR”).
Under the terms of the original agreement, the Company earns a 75% undivided interest in the Property during an earn-in period commencing in January 2010 and completing in December 2012 (the “earn-in period”). Upon completion of the earn-in period, a joint venture (the “Joint Venture”) is to be formed with the same 75% / 25% interest the parties held during the earn-in period. The Joint Venture shall remain in effect for twenty-five years or as long as the claims are being actively mined or developed, whichever is longer. After the termination of the Joint Venture, the Claims shall revert back to Trio.
On March 23, 2012, the Company and Trio entered into an agreement that modified certain terms of the original agreement (“modified agreement”). During the earn-in-period, the Company is to provide $5,500,000 in funding to cover operational costs. Under the original agreement, $1,500,000 was to be funded during the 2010 budget year, $2,000,000 was to be funded during the 2011 budget year and $2,000,000 was to be funded during the 2012 budget year. The modified agreement eliminates the annual funding requirements and extends the due date of the $5,500,000 funding to December 31, 2013.
Under the original agreement, the Company was required to pay a minimum annual royalty during the earn-in period to Trio of which $75,000 was paid upon signing of the agreement, $100,000 was paid on April 1, 2011 and $150,000 was to be paid on April 1, 2012. Under the terms of the March 23, 2012 modified agreement, the minimum royalty payments have been incorporated into the $5,500,000 funding requirement and the final $150,000 minimum royalty payment becomes due on April 1, 2013. In consideration for modifying the terms of the original agreement and extending the due date, the Company issued Trio 2,788 shares of its common shares valued at $11,152, which was charged to operations and included in exploratory costs.
Once the Company has provided $5,500,000 in funding for the project, the Company and Trio shall fund the operational costs jointly, with the Company providing 75% of the funds and Trio providing 25% of the funds. Through July 31, 2012, the Company funded a total of $2,350,000 in the property’s operational costs as defined under the modified agreement. The funds paid have been charged to operations and included in exploratory costs.
In addition, within three months of the assignment, the Company is required to issue Trio 144,240 shares of its common stock. Upon expenditure of a minimum of $2,000,000 on the claims, Trio shall receive an additional 1,442 shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon expending a minimum of $4,000,000 on the claims, Trio shall receive an additional 1,442 shares of the Company’s common stock. Upon expenditure of $5,500,000 on the claims, Trio shall receive a final 1,442 shares of the Company’s common stock All shares issued shall be restricted common shares and will be stamped with the applicable hold period. On February 22, 2010, the Company issued 2,884 shares of its common stock to Trio valued at $242,323, based upon the restated trading price of the shares on the date of issuance. On October 25, 2011, the Company issued 1,442 shares of its common stock to Trio valued at $5,769, based upon the trading price of the shares on the date of issuance. On March 23, 2012, the Company issued 2,788 shares of its common stock to Trio valued at $11,152, based upon the restated trading price of the shares on the date of issuance. The values of the shares have been charged to operations and included in exploration costs.
On February 13, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Trio to modify the terms of the above indicated final minimum royalty payment of $150,000, which was due on April 1, 2013. In exchange for paying $15,000 upon the signing of the agreement and $5,000 on August 1, 2013, the due date of the remaining $130,000 is extended to October 1, 2013, with the date when the full $5,500,000 must be spent on the Rodeo Claims is extended to December 31, 2014. Of the $20,000 that is due, $15,000 was paid on February 20, 2013 and $5,000 was paid on March 15, 2013. The $20,000 was charged to exploratory costs.
The Company failed to pay the required $130,000 that was due on October 1, 2013 and is in default under the agreement. Management is currently in discussions with Trio.
The sole officer, director, and shareholder of Carlin is a business associate of one of the Company’s former officer and director.
Cueva Blanca Gold Property
On April 16, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with St. Elias Mines Ltd. (“St. Elias”) in which Amarok is given an option to earn a 60% interest, subject to a 1.5% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) in the Cueva Blanca gold property (1,200 hectares) in Northern Peru, which is wholly owned by St. Elias. Under the terms of the letter agreement, it is possible for the Company to acquire a 60% interest in the Property (subject to a 1.5% NSR) in consideration of:
(a) making cash payments of $200,000 to St. Elias over a two-year period;
(b) issuing 100,000 common shares in the capital of Amarok to St. Elias; and
(c) incurring at least $1,500,000 in exploration expenditures on the property over a three-year period.
In addition, the Company shall have the right to purchase one-half of the 1.5% NSR from St. Elias for the sum of $1,500,000, thereby reducing the NSR payable to from 1.5% to 0.75%.
The Company’s first payment of $10,000 was paid on June 24, 2010. On April 27, 2011, the agreement between St. Elias and Amarok was formally terminated by St. Elias. As of January 31, 2012, the Company has paid a total of $27,603 in fees towards property maintenance costs on the Cueva Blanca property. The Company is currently considering its option following St. Elias’ termination of the agreement.

NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As discussed in Note 3, on February 22, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement with Carlin in which Carlin assigned the Company all of its rights, title, and interest in an exploration agreement between it and Trio. Trio is a company incorporated in the Province of Alberta, Canada. Trio’s current President is the father of former officer and director of the Company. Further, the sole officer, director, and shareholder of Carlin is a business associate of the same former officer and director.
In January 2010, an agreement went into effect whereby the Company is paying Santeo Financial Corp (“Santeo”), a company affiliated with the same former officer and director for consulting services of $15,000 a month on a month-to-month basis.
On January 15, 2013, the Company granted Santeo the option to convert up to 25% of all accrued compensation due it at that date into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.001 per share, and to convert the remaining 75% of accrued compensation due it at that date into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.01 per share. At January 15, 2013, the amount of accrued compensation due Santeo was $175,000. Pursuant to ASC Topic 470-20, “Debt with Conversion and Other Options,” the accrued compensation was recorded net of a discount that includes the debt’s beneficial conversion feature of $148,077. Since the accrued compensation is immediately convertible into common stock, discounts arising from beneficial conversion features are directly charged to expense pursuant to ACS 470-20-35. The beneficial conversion features were calculated using trading prices ranging from $0.01 to $0.001 per share. During the year ended October 31, 2013, discounts amounting to $148,077 were charged to operations and included in management fees on the statement of operations. The agreement can be cancelled by either party.
Effective December 18, 2013, the terms of the above indicated option grant were modified limiting the number of conversion shares Santeo can receive and hold at any point in time to no more than 9.99% of the Company’s common stock then outstanding.
Total consulting fees charged to operations for the year ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 were $328,077 (including stock based compensation of $148,077) and $180,000, respectively. Accrued compensation due Santeo at October 31, 2013 amounted to $310,000, of which $175,000 is reflected on the accompanying balance sheet in accrued compensation – related party, convertible. The remaining balance of $135,000 due Santeo is reflected on the accompanying balance sheet and is included in other payables – related parties.
On September 9, 2013, the Company borrowed $30,000 from a relative of a shareholder. The loan is evidenced by an unsecured promissory note. The loan is assessed interest at an annual rate of 5% per annum with principal and accrued interest fully due and payable on May 1, 2014. Accrued interest charged to operations for the year ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $86 and $0, respectively.
NOTE 5 – NOTE PAYABLE – UNRELATED PARTY
On January 9, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to borrow a total of $46,300 from an unrelated third party of which $26,300 was received in January 2013 and $20,000 was received in February 2013. The loans are evidenced by an unsecured promissory note. The $46,300 and interest of $2,500 was fully due and payable on July 1, 2013. As the outstanding principal and accrued interest were not paid on July 1, 2013, the principal and accrued interest is assessed interest at an annual rate of 8% per annum payable quarterly, with the outstanding principal and accrued interest balance fully due and payable on July 1, 2014. In addition, the unrelated third party advanced an additional $2,500 on June 21, 2013. The $2,500 is assessed interest at an annual rate of 8% per annum payable quarterly, with the outstanding principal and accrued interest fully due and payable on July 1, 2014. Accrued interest charged to operations for the year ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $3,872 and $0, respectively.

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The effective tax rate on the net loss before income taxes differs from the U.S. statutory rate as follows:
October 31, | |||||||

The net change in the valuation allowance for 2013 was $(151,730).
The Company has a net operating loss carryover of approximately $3,807,000 available to offset future income for income tax reporting purposes, which will expire in various years through 2033, if not previously utilized. However, the Company’s ability to use the carryover net operating loss may be substantially limited or eliminated pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
We adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, formerly FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” We had no material unrecognized income tax assets or liabilities for the year ended October 31, 2012 or for the year ended October 31, 2013.
Our policy regarding income tax interest and penalties is to expense those items as general and administrative expense but to identify them for tax purposes. During the year ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no income tax, or related interest and penalty items in the income statement, or liability on the balance sheet. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examination by tax authorities for years before 2008. We are not currently involved in any income tax examinations.

NOTE 8 –SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 5, 2013, a current note holder advanced the Company $150,000. The loan is evidenced by an unsecured promissory note and is assessed interest at an annual rate of 5%. Principal and accrued interest is fully due and payable on December 31, 2015. In the event of a default, the overdue balance will be assessed interest at a rate of 12% per annum. After December 31, 2014, the holder has the right to convert some or all of the outstanding principal and accrued interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share.

ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's 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.
A control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Based on this evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial and accounting officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were effective as of October 31, 2013.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(c) and (d) of the Exchange Act. Our internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the reported financial information is presented fairly, financial disclosures are adequate and that the judgments inherent in the preparation of financial statements are reasonable and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (GAAP).
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time
A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. An internal control material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
As part of our compliance efforts relative to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). We evaluated control deficiencies identified through our test of the design and operating effectiveness of controls over financial reporting to determine whether the deficiencies, individually or in combination, are significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. In performing the assessment, our management has identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting existing as of October 31, 2013. Our evaluation of the significance of each deficiency included both quantitative and qualitative factors. Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that as of October 31, 2013, and as of the date that the evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures was completed, our internal controls are not effective, for the reason discussed below:
1. | We do not yet have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and may be applicable to us in future years. |
2. | We do not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our extremely small size and the fact that we only had one management employee, whom is also an executive officer and director, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. |
3. | We do not currently have full-time accounting personnel, which means we lack the requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting. We rely upon a third party accountant firm to assist us in our accounting and reporting. |
4. | We did not have a functioning audit committee or outside independent directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures. |
5. | We had not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of management override, specifically because there are no employees and only one officer and director with management functions and therefore there is lack of segregation of duties. |
6. | There is a strong reliance on the external auditors and contract accountant to review and adjust the annual and quarterly financial statements, to monitor new accounting principles, and to ensure compliance with GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements. |
7. | There is a strong reliance on the external attorneys to review and edit the annual and quarterly filings and to ensure compliance with SEC disclosure requirements. |
In light of the material weaknesses described above, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure our financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, we believe that the financial statements included in this Report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
In addition, although our controls are not effective, these significant weaknesses did not result in any material misstatements in our financial statements. Our management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist us with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which is intended to mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) has, subsequent to the evaluation period, appointed outside directors and will establish an audit committee in the future.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with our evaluation we conducted of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2013, that occurred during our fourth fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Once the Company is engaged in a business of merit and has sufficient personnel available, then our Board of Directors, in particular and in connection with the aforementioned deficiencies, will establish the following remediation measures:
1. | Our Board of Directors will nominate an audit committee or a financial expert on our Board of Directors. | |
2. | We will appoint additional personnel to assist with the preparation of the Company’s monthly financial reporting, including preparation of the monthly bank reconciliations. |

Because of Mr. Janssen’s dedication to new technological developments, Key Manufacturing has been able to provide the Puget Sound with high quality manufacturing and machine services since 1989. Over the years, Mr. Janssen has proven his ability to reinvent himself by staying profitable even through economic lows within the industry, such as after 9/11. One example of this is Mr. Janssen’s keen ability to recognize new business opportunities, as he did in 2004, when he added a ZCorp310- 3 D printer, which instigated his current experience with additive manufacturing. During his twenty-three year tenor at Key manufacturing, Mr. Janssen has gained immeasurable experience in management, operations, human resources, equipment procurement, strategic planning, sales and business development, contract negotiation, and financial reporting.
Mr. Janssen holds a technical degree in precision machining and manufacturing, earned in 1981 from the Sno-Isle Tech Centre in Everett, WA. He is always seeking to expand and update his business knowledge, and has actively continued his education by taking financial, business and marketing courses at his local community college. Recognizing his impeccable reputation as an industry leader in the area, the Sno-isle Tech Centre recruited Mr. Janssen to serve on their advisory board, which he did for the following eight years. Three of those years were spent as Chairman of the Board, making decisions about the Centre’s curriculum, as well as approving qualified faculty and budget allocations.

7) Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
The Company does not have an audit committee or an audit committee financial expert (as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K) serving on its Board of Directors. All current members of the Board of Directors lack sufficient financial expertise for overseeing financial reporting responsibilities. The Company has not yet employed an audit committee financial expert on its Board due to the inability to attract such a person.
The Company intends to establish an audit committee of the board of directors, which will consist of independent directors. The audit committee’s duties will be to recommend to the Company’s board of directors the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements and to review the Company’s accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee will review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee will at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.
8) Code Of Ethics
Our board of directors has not adopted a code of ethics due to the fact that we presently only have two directors and we are in the start-up stage of our operations. We anticipate that we will adopt a code of ethics when we increase either the number of our directors and officers or the number of our employees.
9) Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of change in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to us under Rule 16a-3(e) during the year ended October 31, 2013, Forms 5 and any amendments thereto furnished to us with respect to the year ended October 31, 2013, and the representations made by the reporting persons to us, we believe that during the year ended October 31, 2013, our executive officers and directors and all persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

The following table lists, as of January 31, 2014, the number of shares of common stock that are beneficially owned by (i) each person or entity known to the Company to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding common stock; (ii) each officer and director of the Company; and (iii) all officers and directors as a group. Information relating to beneficial ownership of common stock by principal shareholders and management is based upon information furnished by each person using “beneficial ownership” concepts under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.
As of the date of this Annual Report, there are 31,581,409 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and no warrant or options outstanding.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to securities exercisable or convertible into shares of common stock that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the date of this Annual Report are deemed to be beneficially owned by the person holding such securities for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Our common stock is our only issued and outstanding class of securities eligible to vote.
(2) Applicable percentage of ownership is based on 31,581,409 shares of common stock outstanding, and no warrants or options outstanding as of the date of this Annual Report.

Thus, based on 31,581,409 shares issued and outstanding as of the date of this report, Santeo has the option to convert a portion of the debt owed by the Company to Santeo equivalent to a maximum of 3,154,982 shares of common stock.

ITEM 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE |
Director Independence
For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The OTCBB on which shares of common stock are quoted does not have any director independence requirements. The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Officer” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
According to the NASDAQ definition, Roger Janssen is not an independent director because he is also an executive officer of the Company. According to the NASDAQ definition, Earl W. Abbott is not an independent director because he is also a shareholder of the Company.
Related Party Transactions
On February 22, 2010 the Company entered into an agreement with Carlin in which Carlin assigned the Company all of its rights, title, and interest in an exploration agreement between it and Trio. Trio is a company incorporated in the Province of Alberta, Canada. Trio’s current President is the father of former officer and director of the Company. Further, the sole officer, director, and shareholder of Carlin is a business associate of the same former officer and director.
On January 15, 2013, the Company granted Santeo the option to convert up to 25% of all accrued compensation due it at that date into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.001 per share, and to convert the remaining 75% of accrued compensation due it at that date into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.01 per share. At January 15, 2013, the amount of accrued compensation due Santeo was $175,000. Effective December 18, 2013, the terms of the above indicated option grant were modified limiting the number of conversion shares Santeo can receive and hold at any point in time to no more than 9.99% of the Company’s common stock then outstanding.
On September 9, 2013, the Company borrowed $30,000 from a relative of a shareholder. The loan is evidenced by an unsecured promissory note. The loan is assessed interest at an annual rate of 5% per annum with principal and accrued interest fully due and payable on May 1, 2014.
Other than the foregoing, none of the directors or executive officers of the Company, nor any person who owned of record or was known to own beneficially more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares of its Common Stock, nor any associate or affiliate of such persons or companies, has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction that has occurred during the past fiscal year, or in any proposed transaction, which has materially affected or will affect the Company.
With regard to any future related party transaction, we plan to fully disclose any and all related party transactions in the following manner:
· Disclosing such transactions in reports where required;
· Disclosing in any and all filings with the SEC, where required;
· Obtaining disinterested directors consent; and
· Obtaining shareholder consent where required.
