DEL TORO SILVER CORP.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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, 2013, the Company has not earned any revenue, has a working capital deficit of $ 635,596, and an accumulated deficit of $1,966,720. 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, 2012.
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, 2013, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three month period ended January 31, 2013 and 2012. The results of operations for the period ended January 31, 2013 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.
Reclassification – The cash flow statement for accumulated amounts from inception to January 31, 2013 has been reclassified to conform to the current quarter presentation.
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.

(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)
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.

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 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 October 2010, we announced that we expanded the Josefina target at the Dos Naciones Property. Fieldwork completed by our company was successful in identifying multiple new exposures of veins as well as an historic working that was previously unknown. The Josefina target now consists of a series of at least six sub-parallel veins with the core of the silver/lead system having been traced along surface for approximately 600 meters along the strike and over 250 meters in width. Highlights from the 38 samples submitted are channel chip samples from the interior of the Josefina working returning 129g/t Ag with 5.23% Pb over 1.0 meters and 105g/t Ag with 4.21% Pb over 0.50 meters.
In December 2010, we completed an ASTER (Satellite Imaging) study on the Dos Naciones Property and surrounding mines, and continued our field work consisting of detailed geological mapping, sampling and prospecting towards identifying drill targets. A follow up field program in the area was commenced in January 2011 to expand the mapping and sampling of the surrounding areas based on the ASTER report study.
In October 2011, we were notified by our joint venture participant, Yale, that a drilling contract had been signed with Geometrics Mineral Services S.A. de C.V. Drilling on the property began in November 2011.
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 Yale as amended on June 25, 2010, October 21. Pursuant to the terms of the further-amended agreement, Yale 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 Yale. Yale 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 $35,000) 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 September 15, 2012 (issued); and
|
|
·
|
Incur exploration expenditures of Cdn $800,000 on or before July 7, 2013.
|
If our company exercises the option, it will be deemed to enter into a joint venture agreement in accordance with the terms of the Dos Naciones option agreement.
During the three months ended January 31, 2013, we incurred $8,250 in mineral properties costs on the property.
On November 14, 2011, we entered into an asset sale agreement with Bowerman Holdings LLC, a related party, 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. On November 13, 2012, our company and Bowerman extended the closing date through May 31, 2013.
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 (the date of the payment has been extended to May 31, 2013);
|
|
·
|
$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.
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 is required to make an aggregate cash payment of $4,001,000 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 exercises the option, our company has an option to earn up to an additional 7.5% interest at the price of $150,000 per point. As of January 31, 2013 our company was conducting due diligence and had not exercised the option.
Our Current Business
In November 2011, our management announced that our company will change 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 majors 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, the recent increase in 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.

Our plan of operation is to carry out exploration work on our Dos Naciones property in order to ascertain whether it possesses commercially exploitable quantities of gold, silver, and other metals. We intend to primarily explore for gold, silver, and copper but if we discover that our mineral property holds potential for other minerals that our management determines are worth exploring further, then we intend to explore for those other minerals. We will not be able to determine whether or not the Dos Naciones property contains a commercially exploitable mineral deposit, or reserve, until appropriate exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation based on that work indicates economic viability.
The three phase exploration program on the Dos Naciones property carries an aggregate estimated cost of $448,250. The first phase of our exploration program was completed during the quarter ended October 31, 2010 and consisted of detailed geological mapping, sampling, hand trenching and prospecting. In July, 2010 our company’s operator on the Dos Naciones property engaged geological consultants to conduct mapping and sampling on the property. Our company commenced the second phase of its exploration program in September 2011. The results of the first work comprising the second phase of our exploration program warrant the continuation into the second phase of the program. The timing and scale of the next work program has yet to be determined, but the company is working with Yale to determine how best to advance the exploration at Dos Naciones.
Cash Requirements
We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next twelve months:

In addition to the above expense items, if we elect to proceed with the Discovery Day Property and the Natchez Pass Property, we shall incur additional costs.
In the event we proceed with Discovery Day, we must make an initial payment of $25,000 and, in addition to assuming the promissory note portion of the purchase price for $4,500,000, within thirty six (36) months from closing of the acquisition we will be required to spend at least $1,500,000 to further explore, develop and/or operate the property.
If we elect to proceed with the Natchez Pass acquisition of up to a 67.5% interest in the property over a five year period, our company is required to make aggregate cash payments of $4,001,000, consisting of payments to Natchez Pass, certain repayments on behalf of Natchez Pass and certain amounts for the work program on the property. The initial payment, which is comprised of a $25,000 payment on the effective date of the agreement is required. Subsequently, in order to acquire the initial 20% interest, a payment of $500,000 is required, which amount does not include exploration expenditures that may also be incurred.
As of January 31, 2013 we had cash of $1,889.
Based on the above estimate of $235,000 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 agreements regarding Natchez Pass or 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.

General and Administrative
For this discussion we have defined general and administrative costs to also include mineral property costs and professional fees. The $41,816 increase in our general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended January 31, 2013 compared to the three month period ended January 31, 2012 was primarily due to consulting costs of $51,000 for the current period to related parties.
Other Income/ Expenses
We had $8,163 of interest expense on convertible debt for the three month period ended January 31, 2013. There was no such activity for the same three month period ended January 31, 2012.

We anticipate that we will incur approximately $235,000 for 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, 2013 we had cash of $1,889, 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 $52,701 during the three month period ended January 31, 2013 and $60,756 during the three month period ended January 31, 2012. Cash used in operating activities for both periods was funded by cash from financing activities, and a $8,055 decrease in cash used compared to the three month period end January 31, 2012 was primarily due to there being less cash basis operating expenses.
Cash Provided by Financing Activities
We generated cash of $40,000 from financing activities during the three month period ended January 31, 2013 compared to cash generated of $41,449 by financing activities during the three month period ended January 31, 2012. Total cash received remained constant for both periods and related entirely to cash received from our shareholders.
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 its assets and discharge its 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, 2013, our company has accumulated losses of $1,966,720 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, 2012, 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, 2012.
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, 2013, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three month period ended January 31, 2013 and 2012. The results of operations for the period ended January 31, 2013 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future quarters or the full year.
Reclassification
The cash flow statement for accumulated amounts from inception to January 31, 2013 has been reclassified to conform to the current quarter presentation.
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.
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.
