The Company intends to engage in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. The Company is in the exploration stage and its operations principally involve research and development, market analysis, property evaluation and other business planning activities, and no revenue has been generated to date. Effective June 6, 2007, the Company completed a forward stock split by the issuance of 5 new shares for each 1 outstanding share of the Companys common stock.

Accordingly, no revenue has been derived during the organization period. Going Concern Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
Operating results for the three months ended May 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2013. Reclassifications In the prior year, the Company recorded website in the amount of, $9,167 and property and equipment of $6,471 separately, this has been reclassified and combined as property and equipment. Additionally, $21,416 due to related parties which was previously included in accounts payable is now reported separately in the balance sheet as due to related parties. The reclassification had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements. Basis of Presentation The consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mercer One Panama Corp. and Mercer Two Panama Corp. which were incorporated on June 2, 2010. All significant inter-company transactions and account balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Mineral Property Expenditures Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable, are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred. As of the date of these interim financial statements, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Companys title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Use of Estimates Cash and Cash Equivalents Net Income (Loss) per Common Share Fair Value Financial Instruments The fair values of the financial instruments were determined using the following input levels and valuation techniques:
As at May 31, 2012, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivables, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties and promissory notes payable approximate carrying value due to their short maturities. The fair value of the long term promissory note payable approximates the carrying value due to the terms of the note.

(a) Guayabales Property On April 13, 2010, the Company entered into a definitive Mineral Assets Option Agreement with Mercer Canada (the Mercer Option Agreement). The Mercer Option Agreement replaces the previous underlying LOI. The Mercer Option Agreement, as amended on December 30, 2010 and again on March 22, 2011, provides that, in order to exercise its Option, the Company is obligated to:

A total of 537,500 stock options are exercisable as at May 31, 2012.
The Company is subject to certain outstanding and future commitments related to its mineral property interests (Note 4). On June 9, 2011, Rahim Jivraj, a former officer and director of the Company filed an action against the Company in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The plaintiff alleges that the Company owes him certain monies for payment under an alleged promissory note as well as pursuant to certain alleged management fees, expenses and disbursements which is asserted were incurred by the plaintiff in the plaintiffs prior role as an officer and director of the Company. The Company is of the view that such allegations are without merit and has and intends to vigorously contest the action. On July 13, 2011, the Company filed a defence to this action and a counterclaim against the plaintiff denying that any monies are owing and seeking damages against the plaintiff for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and misrepresentation. On July 11, 2011, Mercer Gold Corp. (Mercer BC), a privately held British Columbia company which is owned and/or controlled by Mr. Jivraj, delivered a letter to the Company which purported to allege defaults (the First Notice of Default) under the Companys existing Mineral Assets Option Agreement, dated for reference effective as at April 13, 2010 (the Option Agreement), with Mercer BC, with respect to the Guayables Gold Project in Columbia. It is the Companys position that the allegations of default re without merit and the letter was not valid notice of default under the Option Agreement. On July 19, 2011, the Company responded and advised Mercer BC as to its position with respect to each allegation of default in the First Notice of Default. On August 25, 2011, Mercer BC delivered a letter to the
Company, which purported to terminate the Option Agreement on the basis that the
alleged defaults had not been cured. The Company regards Mercer BCs position as
without merit and considers the purported termination to be invalid. The Company
intends to continue as operator of the mineral property interest underlying the
project as set forth in the Option Agreement.
On September 9, 2011, the Company gave notice to Mercer BC that it intends to commence arbitration proceedings to address the validity of the termination. On September 13, 2011, the Company filed an amended counterclaim as against Mr. Jivraj. The counterclaim seeks an order requiring Mr. Jivraj to disgorge to the Company all of his shares in Mercer BC together with restitution of all benefits he received from the Company while serving as its President. The Company also seeks damages, including aggravated and punitive damages. The counterclaim alleges that Mr. Jivraj acted in a conflict of interest, while President of the Company, by reason of his failure to divest himself of his interest in Mercer BC. It alleges that he formed a plan to use funds raised by the Company to develop the Option Agreement property interests, and then took active steps to put the Company in a position where it might default under the Option Agreement. It is alleged that he then resigned from the Company and resumed his position as President of Mercer BC in order to assist Mercer BC in reacquiring these property interests so that he could vend the property interests to another third party for new consideration. The counterclaim alleges that Mr. Jivraj has attempted to usurp a mature business opportunity belonging to the Company by assisting Mercer BC in issuing the default notice and the termination notice, in breach of fiduciary duty. In addition, the counterclaim alleges that Mr. Jivraj has interfered with the Company's economic interests using unlawful means, including fraud, deceit, conversion, slander of title and defamation. The counterclaim includes particulars of unlawful conduct, including an attempt by Mr. Jivraj to convince a Company consultant to assist him in triggering a default under the Option Agreement by ensuring that a third party service supplier was not paid. On September 20, 2011 the Company filed a notice of application against each of Mr. Jivraj and Mercer BC, seeking an injunction against Mr. Jivraj and Mercer BC to restrain them from interfering with the Company's activities as operator of the Guayabales Gold Project in Colombia and from interfering with the Company's rights as optionee under the Option Agreement, pending conclusion of arbitration. On October 3, 2011, Mercer BC filed a Response to Civil Claim, and on October 11, 2011 Mercer BC filed a Counterclaim, joining the members of the Company's Board of Directors as defendants. These pleadings have been filed in opposition to the Company's claim seeking an interlocutory injunction pending arbitration of the parties' dispute concerning Mercer BC's purported termination of the Option Agreement. The Counterclaim seeks, among other things, a declaration that the Option Agreement is void and/or rescission of the Option Agreement. The Counterclaim also seeks damages. The Company denies all of the claims made in the Counterclaim as malicious, spurious and without factual basis. On December 6, 2011 the British Columbia Supreme Court (the "Court") issued Reasons for Judgment (the "Reasons for Judgment") granting an injunction against both Mr. Jivraj and Mercer BC, enjoining each of them from taking any steps to interfere with the Company's role as operator of the Guayabales Gold Project located in Colombia (the "Property") and interfering with the Option Agreement, pending completion of the arbitration proceeding commenced by the Company with respect to such matter (the "Arbitration Proceeding"). The Court has also ordered that a counterclaim filed by Mercer BC in the Court shall be stayed. The Court rejected Mercer BC's application to stay the Arbitration Proceeding commenced by the Company. Mercer BC had argued that the Company was barred from seeking arbitration to challenge Mercer BC's termination of the Option Agreement. The Court determined that the Company was not barred and that the issues sought to be determined by the Company are appropriately advanced in the Arbitration Proceeding now being administered by the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre.
In the Reasons for Judgment, the Court has also ordered each of Mercer BC and Mr. Jivraj to disclose, within 24 hours, the names of all persons and entities with whom Mr. Jivraj has discussed a possible sale or deal concerning the Property since
March 28, 2011, and to refrain from communicating with any person or entity for the purpose of discussing a possible agreement concerning the Property in a manner inconsistent with the Company's continuing role as optionee and operator of the
Property, pending the Arbitration Proceeding. The Court has further restrained Mr. Jivraj from taking any steps to transfer his shares in Mercer BC and the Company to any third party.
On December 21, 2011, Mercer BC delivered a letter to the Company providing notice of default (the Second Notice of Default) which purported to allege default by the Company under section 2.2(c)(i) of the Option Agreement as amended by the Company and Mercer BC on or about March 22, 2011. On December 29, 2011, the Company responded and advised Mercer BC that the Company disputes the validity of the Second Notice of Default, that it denies that such default has occurred and that it is submitting the question to arbitration. On January 9, 2012, the Company filed a notice to arbitrate the Second Notice of Default with Mercer BC and the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre pursuant to Article 16.2 of the Option Agreement (Arbitration Proceeding #2), whereby the Company is seeking: (i) a declaration that the Second Notice of Default is invalid; (ii) in the alternative, a declaration that the Company was not in default as alleged in the Second Notice of Default; and (ii) an order requiring Mercer BC to pay to the Company costs of the arbitration. On January 13, 2012, the arbitrators (the Arbitrators) of the Arbitration Proceeding dealing with the First Notice of Default ordered the Company and Mercer BC to post $35,000 each as security for the Arbitrators fees. The Company complied with this order, however, Mercer BC has not. On February 16, 2012, the Company applied to the Arbitration Proceeding to strike portions of Mercer BCs defense on the basis that it raised factual issues, which were beyond the jurisdiction of the Arbitration Proceeding. The Companys application was dismissed, however, in responding to the application, Mercer BC withdrew a further allegation of default, leaving only two remaining allegations of default from the original ten grounds of default contained in the First Notice of Default. On February 29, 2012, the Arbitration Proceeding #2 dealing with the Second Notice of Default was settled on the basis that Mercer BC withdrew the Second Notice of Default, without prejudice to its ability to assert default on the same grounds after December 31, 2012. On March 5, 2012, the Arbitrators provided Mercer BC with a further 14 days to comply with the payment order, however, Mercer BC failed to comply with such order. On March 19, 2012, the Arbitrators declared the termination notice that was issued by Mercer BC to the Company on August 25, 2011 as invalid. On May 2, 2012, the Arbitrators ordered that the Arbitration Proceedings shall be suspended until such time as Mercer BC complies with its order.
The Companys only business activity is exploration and development of mineral properties. This activity is carried out in Colombia. The breakdown by geographic area for the period ended May 31, 2012 is as follows:

The following event occurred during the period from the date of the three month period ended on May 31, 2012 to the date the financial statements were available to be issued on July 20, 2012: On July 9, 2012, the Company received an extension to July 31, 2012 for payment of the option payment due on July 14, 2012 to the Underlying Property Owner under the Underlying Option Agreement related to the Guayabales Property (Note 4). - 5- Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including, but not limited to, those referred to under the heading Risk Factors in Item 1A. to Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2012. Overview of Our Business We are currently engaged in the business of exploration of precious metals with a focus on the exploration and development of gold deposits in Colombia. As of the date of this quarterly report, our mineral interest consists of an option agreement on an exploration stage property as discussed below. We have not established any proven or probable reserves on our mineral property interest. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our property interest. Further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility is determined with respect to our mineral property interest. At the present time, our primary property of interest is the Guayabales Property, Colombia as described below. Mineral Properties Guayabales Property, Colombia Mineral Assets Option Agreement On April 13, 2010, we entered into a definitive Mineral Assets Option Agreement (the Definitive Option Agreement) with Mercer Gold Corporation, a private mining company (MGC), pursuant to which MGC formally granted to us an exclusive option (the Option) to acquire all of MGCs current underlying option interests under a certain Option Agreement, dated for reference March 4, 2010 (the Underlying Option Agreement), as entered into between MGC and Comunidad Minera Guayabales (the Underlying Property Owner or CMG), pursuant to which MGC acquired from the Underlying Property Owner an option (the Underlying Option) to acquire a 100% legal, beneficial and registerable interest in and to certain mineral property concession interests which are held by way of license and which are located in the municipality of Marmato, Colombia, and which are better known and described as the Guayabales property (collectively, the Guayabales Property). The Definitive Option Agreement replaces an underlying letter of intent by and between and MGC and us, dated April 3, 2010. The Definitive Option Agreement provides that, in order to exercise our Option, we are obligated to:
- 6 -
On December 30, 2010, an amendment was agreed to whereby the funding for minimum cumulative Expenditures for Exploration and Development (as defined in the Definitive Option Agreement) work on or in connection with any of the mineral interests comprising the Property interests of not less than $11,500,000 was revised in the following manner:
On March 22, 2011, a further amendment was agreed to whereby the funding for minimum cumulative Expenditures for Exploration and Development (as defined in the Mercer Option Agreement) work on or in connection with any of the mineral interests comprising the Property interests was reduced from $11,500,000 to $3,000,000 to be incurred in the following manner:
- 7 - Title to Property and Underlying Option Agreement CMG, a Colombian legal entity, is the rightful owner of the concession contract #LH 0071-17, an exploitation license valid until March 28, 2032, that was registered on March 28, 2008 by INGEOMINAS in the Department of Caldas (registration #HHXB 01). As described above, MGC, a privately-held, Canadian entity registered in British Colombia, entered into an Option Agreement Underlying Option Agreement with CMG on March 4, 2010 to acquire a 100% interest in Guayabales. The Company entered into the Definitive Option Agreement with MGC as described above to acquire the 100% interest of Guayabales subject to the terms of the Underlying Option Agreement. No surface agreements are in place; however, CMG represents and warrants reasonable surface access to Guayabales in the Underlying Option Agreement and the Colombian Mining Code guarantees surface access. In Colombia, all mineral rights are the property of the government of Colombia. Obtaining a mining right does not transfer ownership of the mineral estate, but creates a temporary right to explore and benefit from minerals in exchange for royalty payments so long as the mining title remains in good standing. Under Colombian mining law, foreign individuals and corporations have the same rights as Colombian individuals and corporations, and Colombian governmental regulatory bodies are specifically prohibited from requiring any additional or different requirements than would be required of a Colombian individual or corporation. Subject to the Definitive Option Agreement as described above, the Company is responsible for all obligations established in the Underlying Option Agreement between MGC and CMG in order to complete the 100% acquisition of the Guayabales Property. These obligations include cash payments; provision for allowing continued Limited Mining Rights as described below; property maintenance; and quarterly reports. More specifically, these include:
Technical Report We received a technical report in accordance with the provisions of National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101), of the Canadian Securities Administrators for the Guayabales Property, which is located in the Department of Caldas, Colombia. The complete technical report, which was authored by Dean D. Turner, C.P.G., a qualified person as defined in NI 43-101, was filed under our Companys profile on the Canadian Securities Administrators public disclosure website, at www.sedar.com, on May 28, 2010. Mr. Turner prepared an update to this technical report, dated February 8, 2011. The technical report, as updated, is referred to herein as the Technical Report. Plan of Operations Our Plan of Operations for the next twelve months is to pursue Phase I of the recommended exploration program on the Guayabales Property, as described in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2011, under Item 1. Business Mineral Properties Guayabales Property, Colombia Companys Planned Exploration Program. We have decided to reduce the work program for the next 12 months while we review our forward plan in depth and estimate we will spend about $1,000,000 over the next 12 months. Further, we expect to spend approximately $300,000 in the next 12 months in office and general expenses and professional, consulting and management fees. - 8 - Based on our current plan of operations as set forth above, we estimate that we will require approximately $1.3 million to pursue our plan of operations over the next twelve months. As at May 31, 2012, we had cash of $15,305 and a working capital deficit of $(3,212,847). We will require additional financing to pursue our plan of operations over the next twelve months. There can be no assurance that we will obtain any additional financing in the amounts required or on terms favorable to us. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may have to re-evaluate or abandon our business activities and revise our plan of operations. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our plan of operations going forward. In the absence of such financing, our business plan will fail. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue our business plan. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing going forward, we will be forced to re-evaluate or abandon our plan of operations. We are an exploration stage company and have not generated any revenue to date. The following table sets forth selected financial information relating to our Company for the periods indicated:
- 9 - Three Months Ended May 31, 2012 Compared to Three Months Ended May 31, 2011 During the three months ended May 31, 2012 and May 31, 2011 we did not generate any revenue. During the three months ended May 31, 2012 we incurred general and administrative expenses of $200,332 compared to $1,033,459 incurred during the three months ended May 31, 2011. The major components of our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2012 and 2011 consisted of the following:
Our general and administrative expenses incurred during the three months ended May 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2011 decreased primarily due to a decrease in exploration activity on the Guayabales property offset somewhat by increased legal fees for legal actions related to the Guayabales property. During the three months ended May 31, 2012, we recorded interest expense in the amount of $(46,529) (2011: $(23,322)) and taxes of $(4,005) ( 2011-$Nil). As a result of the above, our net loss during the three months ended May 31, 2012 was $(250,866) (2011-$(1,056,781)). Liquidity and Capital Resources As at May 31, 2012, our current assets were $46,390 (February 29, 2012 - $9,747) and our current liabilities were $3,259,237 (February 29, 2012 - $2,974,508), which resulted in a working capital deficit of $(3,212,847) compared to a working capital deficit of $(2,964,761) at February 29, 2012. Total Stockholders equity decreased from $2,787,053 at February 29, 2012 to $2,536,187 at May 31, 2012. Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the three months ended May 31, 2012, net cash flows used in operating activities was ($194,017) consisting primarily of a net loss of ($250,866). Net cash flows used in operating activities was adjusted by $46,529 in accrued interest on the promissory notes and $2,780 in depreciation of property and equipment. Net cash flows used in operating activities was further changed by ($31,085) in increase in prepaid expenses, $26,142 in increase of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and $12,483 in increase in due to related parties. - 10 - For the three months ended May 31, 2011, net cash flows used in operating activities was ($350,137) consisting primarily of a net loss of ($1,056,693). Net cash flows used in operating activities was adjusted by $23,322 in accrued interest on the promissory notes, depreciation of $768, a write down of management fees of $(27,885) and $123,995 in stock based compensation. Net cash flows used in operating activities was further changed by ($9,626) in increase in accounts receivable, $28,359 for decrease in prepaid expenses, $533,116 for increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $34,507 in increase due to related parties. Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended May 31, 2012, net cash flows used in investing activities was $Nil compared to net cash flows used in investing activities during the three months ended May 31, 2011 of ($75,000). This change was primarily as a result of option payments to Mercer Canada for the Guayabales Property in 2011. Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities We have financed our operations primarily from either advancements or the issuance of equity and debt instruments. For the three months ended May 31, 2012, net cash flows provided from financing activities was $199,575 compared to $302,200 for the three months ended May 31, 2011. Cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended May 31, 2012 consisted of $304,575 in advances on promissory notes and $105,000 in repayment on promissory notes. Cash flows from financing activities for the three months ended May 31, 2011 consisted of $42,200 in advances on promissory notes and $260,000 for common shares issued for cash. We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase as we expand our exploration activities as set forth above under Plan of Operations. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our condensed interim financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 our financial statements. In general, managements 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. Basis of Presentation The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to U.S. GAAP applicable to exploration stage enterprises. The functional currency is the U.S. dollar, and the financial statements are presented in U. S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mercer One Panama Corp. and Mercer Two Panama Corp. All significant inter-company transactions and account balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Mineral Property Expenditures Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized as tangible assets when purchased. At the end of each fiscal quarter end, the Company assesses the carrying costs for impairment. If proven and probable reserves are established for a property and it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed, costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. - 11 - Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Estimated future removal and site restoration costs, when determinable are provided over the life of proven reserves on a units-of-production basis. Costs, which include production equipment removal and environmental remediation, are estimated each period by management based on current regulations, actual expenses incurred, and technology and industry standards. Any charge is included in exploration expense or the provision for depletion and depreciation during the period and the actual restoration expenditures are charged to the accumulated provision amounts as incurred. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties and incurred only acquisition and exploration costs. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Companys title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects. Asset Retirement Obligations The Company has adopted ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred. ASC 410 requires the Company to record a liability for the present value of the estimated site restoration costs with corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related long-lived assets. The liability will be accreted and the asset will be depreciated over the life of the related assets. Adjustments for changes resulting from the passage of time and changes to either the timing or amount of the original present value estimate underlying the obligation will be made. There were no asset retirement obligations as at May 31, 2012. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant areas requiring managements estimates and assumptions are the determination of the fair value of transactions involving common stock and financial instruments. Other areas requiring estimates include deferred tax balances and asset impairment tests. Cash and Cash Equivalents For the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. There were no cash and cash equivalents as of May 31, 2012 and February 29, 2012 that exceeded federally insured limits. Net Income (Loss) per Common Share The Company computes income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations. Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive loss per share excludes all potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. Financial Instruments The fair value of the Companys financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. - 12 - Income Taxes The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax balances. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantially enacted tax rates expected to apply to the taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the date of enactment or substantive enactment. As at May 31, 2012, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards, however, due to the uncertainty of realization, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets resulting from these loss carryforwards. Foreign Currency Translation The financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. In accordance with ASC 830 Foreign Currency Matters, foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to their U.S. dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the period. Related translation adjustments are reported as a separate component of stockholders equity, whereas gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations. Stock-Based Compensation On June 1, 2006, the Company adopted ASC 718, Compensation Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employees requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). The Company adopted ASC 718 using the modified prospective method, which requires the Company to record compensation expense over the vesting period for all awards granted after the date of adoption, and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. Accordingly, financial statements for the periods prior to January 1, 2006 have not been restated to reflect the fair value method of expensing share-based compensation. The adoption of ASC 718 does not change the way the Company accounts for share-based payments to non-employees, with guidance provided by ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This ASU presents an entity with the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders equity. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. As ASU 2011-05 relates only to the presentation of Comprehensive Income, the Company does not expect that the adoption of this update will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Funding for Plan of Operations As set forth above under Plan of Operations, we anticipate that we will required approximately $1.3 million over the next twelve months to pursue our Plan of Operations. We will require additional financing in order to be able to fund our plan of operations. Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the private placement of equity and debt instruments. In connection with our business plan, management anticipates additional increases in exploration expenses and capital expenditures relating to: (i) exploration properties; and (ii) future exploration property acquisitions. We intend to finance these expenses with further issuances of securities, and debt issuances. Thereafter, we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations. - 13 - Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We do not have any 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 investors. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk As a smaller reporting company (as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K), our Company is not required to provide information required by this Item. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer, Gary Powers, and our principal financial officer, William Thomas, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures for our Company. Gary Powers, our principal executive officer, and William Thomas, our principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of May 31, 2012. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of May 31, 2012. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. PART II OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings On June 9, 2011, Rahim Jivraj, a former officer and director of the Company filed an action against the Company in the Supreme Court of British Columbia. The plaintiff alleges that the Company owes him certain monies for payment under an alleged promissory note as well as pursuant to certain alleged management fees, expenses and disbursements which is asserted were incurred by the plaintiff in the plaintiff's prior role as an officer and director of the Company. The Company is of the view that such allegations are without merit and intends to vigorously contest the action. On July 13, 2011, the Company filed a defence to this action and a counterclaim against the plaintiff denying that any monies are owing and seeking damages against the plaintiff for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty and misrepresentation. On July 11, 2011, Mercer Gold Corp. ("Mercer BC"), a privately held British Columbia company which is owned and/or controlled by Mr. Jivraj, delivered a letter to the Company which purported to allege defaults (the First Notice of Default) under the Company's existing Mineral Assets Option Agreement, dated for reference effective as at April 13, 2010 (the "Option Agreement"), with Mercer BC, with respect to the Guayabales Gold Project in Columbia. It is the Company's position that the allegations of default are without merit and the letter was not valid notice of default under the Option Agreement. - 14 - On July 19, 2011, the Company responded and advised Mercer BC as to its position with respect to each allegation of default in the First Notice of Default. On August 25, 2011, Mercer BC delivered a letter to the Company, which purported to terminate the Option Agreement on the basis that the alleged defaults had not been cured. The Company regards Mercer BC's position as without merit and considers the purported termination to be invalid. The Company intends to continue as operator of the mineral property interests underlying the project as set forth in the Option Agreement. On September 9, 2011, the Company gave notice to Mercer BC that it intends to commence arbitration proceedings to address the validity of the termination. On September 13, 2011, the Company filed an amended counterclaim as against Mr. Jivraj. The counterclaim seeks an order requiring Mr. Jivraj to disgorge to the Company all of his shares in Mercer BC together with restitution of all benefits he received from the Company while serving as its President. The Company also seeks damages, including aggravated and punitive damages. The counterclaim alleges that Mr. Jivraj acted in a conflict of interest, while President of the Company, by reason of his failure to divest himself of his interest in Mercer BC. It alleges that he formed a plan to use funds raised by the Company to develop the Option Agreement property interests, and then took active steps to put the Company in a position where it might default under the Option Agreement. It is alleged that he then resigned from the Company and resumed his position as President of Mercer BC in order to assist Mercer BC in reacquiring these property interests so that he could vend the property interests to another third party for new consideration. The counterclaim alleges that Mr. Jivraj has attempted to usurp a mature business opportunity belonging to the Company by assisting Mercer BC in issuing the default notice and the termination notice, in breach of fiduciary duty. In addition, the counterclaim alleges that Mr. Jivraj has interfered with the Company's economic interests using unlawful means, including fraud, deceit, conversion, slander of title and defamation. The counterclaim includes particulars of unlawful conduct, including an attempt by Mr. Jivraj to convince a Company consultant to assist him in triggering a default under the Option Agreement by ensuring that a third party service supplier was not paid. On September 20, 2011 the Company filed a notice of application against each of Mr. Jivraj and Mercer BC, seeking an injunction against Mr. Jivraj and Mercer BC to restrain them from interfering with the Company's activities as operator of the Guayabales Gold Project in Colombia and from interfering with the Company's rights as optionee under the Option Agreement, pending conclusion of arbitration. On October 3, 2011, Mercer BC filed a Response to Civil Claim, and on October 11, 2011 Mercer BC filed a Counterclaim, joining the members of the Company's Board of Directors as defendants. These pleadings have been filed in opposition to the Company's claim seeking an interlocutory injunction pending arbitration of the parties' dispute concerning Mercer BC's purported termination of the Option Agreement. The Counterclaim seeks, among other things, a declaration that the Option Agreement is void and/or rescission of the Option Agreement. The Counterclaim also seeks damages. The Company denies all of the claims made in the Counterclaim as malicious, spurious and without factual basis. On December 6, 2011 the British Columbia Supreme Court (the "Court") issued Reasons for Judgment (the "Reasons for Judgment") granting an injunction against both Mr. Jivraj and Mercer BC, enjoining each of them from taking any steps to interfere with the Company's role as operator of the Guayabales Gold Project located in Colombia (the "Property") and interfering with the Option Agreement, pending completion of the arbitration proceeding commenced by the Company with respect to such matter (the "Arbitration Proceeding"). The Court has also ordered that a counterclaim filed by Mercer BC in the Court shall be stayed. The Court rejected Mercer BC's application to stay the Arbitration Proceeding commenced by the Company. Mercer BC had argued that the Company was barred from seeking arbitration to challenge Mercer BC's termination of the Option Agreement. The Court determined that the Company was not barred and that the issues sought to be determined by the Company are appropriately advanced in the Arbitration Proceeding now being administered by the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre. In the Reasons for Judgment, the Court has also ordered each of Mercer BC and Mr. Jivraj to disclose, within 24 hours, the names of all persons and entities with whom Mr. Jivraj has discussed a possible sale or deal concerning the Property since March 28, 2011, and to refrain from communicating with any person or entity for the purpose of discussing a possible agreement concerning the Property in a manner inconsistent with the Company's continuing role as optionee and operator of the Property, pending the Arbitration Proceeding. The Court has further restrained Mr. Jivraj from taking any steps to transfer his shares in Mercer BC and the Company to any third party. - 15 - On December 21, 2011, Mercer BC delivered a letter to the Company providing notice of default (the Second Notice of Default) which purported to allege default by the Company under section 2.2(c)(i) of the Option Agreement as amended by the Company and Mercer BC on or about March 22, 2011. On December 29, 2011, the Company responded and advised Mercer BC that the Company disputes the validity of the Second Notice of Default, that it denies that such default has occurred and that it is submitting the question to arbitration. On January 9, 2012, the Company filed a notice to arbitrate the Second Notice of Default with Mercer BC and the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre pursuant to Article 16.2 of the Option Agreement (Arbitration Proceeding #2), whereby the Company is seeking: (i) a declaration that the Second Notice of Default is invalid; (ii) in the alternative, a declaration that the Company was not in default as alleged in the Second Notice of Default; and (ii) an order requiring Mercer BC to pay to the Company costs of the arbitration. On January 13, 2012, the arbitrators (the Arbitrators) of the Arbitration Proceeding dealing with the First Notice of Default ordered the Company and Mercer BC to post $35,000 each as security for the Arbitrators fees. The Company complied with this order, however, Mercer BC has not. On February 16, 2012, the Company applied to the Arbitration Proceeding to strike portions of Mercer BCs defense on the basis that it raised factual issues, which were beyond the jurisdiction of the Arbitration Proceeding. The Companys application was dismissed, however, in responding to the application, Mercer BC withdrew a further allegation of default, leaving only two remaining allegations of default from the original ten grounds of default contained in the First Notice of Default. On February 29, 2012, the Arbitration Proceeding #2 dealing with the Second Notice of Default was settled on the basis that Mercer BC withdrew the Second Notice of Default, without prejudice to its ability to assert default on the same grounds after December 31, 2012. On March 5, 2012, the Arbitrators provided Mercer BC with a further 14 days to comply with the payment order, however, Mercer BC failed to comply with such order. On March 19, 2012, the Arbitrators declared the termination notice that was issued by Mercer BC to the Company on August 25, 2011 as invalid. On May 2, 2012, the Arbitrators ordered that the Arbitration Proceedings shall be suspended until such time as Mercer BC complies with its order. Item 1A.
