In November 2018, the Companywe acquired 42 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 718 acres located immediately to the north and adjacent to the Company’sCompany's City Creek Property. Through this staking, the City Creek project area was expanded from approximately 449 acres to 1,1671,106 acres.

In September 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of 106 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 1,167 acres in close proximity to the historic Tinton Gold Camp. The Tinton area was the site of placer mining activity between 1876 and the turn of the century.

On March 6, 2020, the Company acquiredcompleted the acquisition of 65 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 1,152 acres in the Homestake District of the Black Hills of South Dakota. The new property is contiguous to the Company's Blind Gold Property and is the subject to historic prospecting activity.Property.

Note 3-Mineral Properties, continued

In July 2020, the Company staked 166 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 3,152 acres located immediately north and adjacent to the Company's City Creek Property. Through this staking, the City Creek project area was expanded from approximately 1,176 acres to 4,319 acres. The City Creek Property is comprised of a combination of patented and unpatented mining claims covering the continuous extension of the iron-formation gold host northeast of the Homestake Mine. The City Creek geology is dominated by the Homestake, Ellison and Poorman stratigraphic sequence that has been delineated by more than 40,000 ft of core drilling across the property. The historic drilling also documents the occurrence of gold mineralization in the classic quartz vein, chlorite-arsenopyrite style of the Homestake Mine.

On September 15, 2020, we completed the acquisition of 50 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 840 acres at the historic Ragged Top Gold Camp of the Black Hills of South Dakota. Tertiary-aged gold mineralization in the Ragged Top area is hosted primarily in the Paha Sapa Limestone formation and has been mined from both vertical fissures called "Verticals" and from collapsed breccias. The Ragged Top acquisition is located just northwest of the producing Wharf Mine (Coeur Mining) and approximately 3 miles southwest of the former Richmond Hill Mine (Barrick Gold).

On October 26, 2020, the Company completed the purchase of the Maitland Gold Property from Homestake Mining Company of California, a wholly owned subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation ("Barrick"). At closing, the Company paid Barrick $3.5 million cash and issued 750,000 shares of its common stock valued at $1.76 per share, for total consideration of $4.82 million. Additionally, Barrick retained a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty on the property. The 2,112 mineral-acre Maitland acquisition is an important component of the Company's exploration and development strategy for the structural corridor that extends from the Homestake Gold Mine to the Company's Blind Gold Property at the northern end of the Homestake District.

On November 25, 2020, the Company acquired 64 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 1,092 acres located south and to the west of the former Homestake Gold Mine at Lead, South Dakota. The Poorman Anticline geological structure is the southwestern-most known extension of the Homestake iron-formation host in the district. Gold mineralization was discovered underground on the 2,600 and 4,100 foot levels in the far western extents of the Homestake Mine in the 1950's and 60's with little historic follow-up exploration in the Poorman Anticline closer to surface. Dakota Territory's targeting in the Poorman Anticline is based on the presence of the Homestake iron-formation host and projected intersections with important shear fabric that is known to have conducted fluids necessary to the deposition of gold mineralization in the northern extents of the structural corridor.

On January 26, 2021, the Company acquired 143 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 2,468 acres. The acquisition was based on continuing analysis of the Company's historic data sets coupled with new insights derived from the Company's district-scale airborne geophysical survey flown during the summer of 2020 and increased the acreage covered by three of the Company's existing project areas. At the west side of the Homestake District, the Tinton property was extended to the north and northwest adding approximately 1,966 acres to the original claim block. In the central region of the District, the West Corridor property was extended west to Cleopatra Creek covering approximately 242 additional acres between Richmond Hill and Wharf gold mines, and the Blind Gold Property was expanded west adding approximately 260 acres immediately north of the Richmond Hill Mine.

On March 8, 2021, the Company acquired 39 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 806.5 acres at the eastern boundary of the Company's Tinton Property. Tinton was the site of placer mining activity between 1876 and the turn of the century, the lode source for which has not been discovered. Our original Tinton claim block was located based on historic research and exploration conducted by members of our technical team at Homestake Mining Company in the 1980's and 1990's, which suggested a Pre-Cambrian lode source at depth. The latest property acquisition is focussed on additional younger Tertiary-aged gold mineralization in the younger sedimentary and igneous rocks covering the property.

On March 9, 2021, Dakota Territory acquired, by option, 25 patented mining claims covering approximately 307 acres at the eastern boundary of the northern segment of the Company's Ragged Top Property. NaN additional unpatented lode claims covering approximately 29 acres were also acquired by staking and added at the north end of the property. The Ragged Top Property has been subject to historic mining operations producing Tertiary-aged gold and silver mineralization primarily from vertical fissures and collapsed breccias within the Paha Sapa limestone unit. The Ragged Top property is located just northwest of the producing Wharf Mine (Coeur Mining) and approximately 3 miles southwest of the former Richmond Hill Mine (Barrick Gold).

Note 3-Mineral Properties, continued

On May 21, 2021, the Company purchased surface and mineral title to approximately 213 acres located contiguous to the northwest boundary of the Company's West Corridor Property. The property is located just south of the mineral property Dakota Territory acquired from Deadbroke Mining Company in the Maitland Area in March of 2014, just north of the producing Wharf Mine (Coeur Mining) and just to the south and east of the former Richmond Hill Mine (Barrick Gold).

On July 23, 2020 the Company announced that it had substantially increased its land holdings in the Black Hills of South Dakota through the staking of 166 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 3,152 acres located immediately north and adjacent The purchased property is subject to the Company’s City Creek Property. The project area was first expanded in 2018 on the basis of inversion modeling of historical geophysical survey data. Subsequent reconnaissance and preliminary analysis of the Company’s new geophysical data provided evidence of underlying shear fabric on a similar orientation with the productive structural corridor north of the Homestake Mine.

On September 15, 2020 the Company increased its land holdings in the Homestake District of the Black Hills of South Dakota through the staking of 50 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 840 acres at the historic Ragged Top Gold Camp. Tertiary-aged gold mineralization in the Ragged Top area is hosted primarily in the Paha Sapa Limestone formation and has been mined from both vertical fissures called “Verticals” and from collapsed breccias. The Company’s Ragged Top property acquisition is located just northwest of the producing Wharf Mine (Coeur Mining) and approximately 3 miles southwest of the former Richmond Hill Mine (Barrick Gold).

On October 23, 2020, the Company closed the purchase of the Maitland Gold Property in the Black Hills of South Dakota from2% NSR Royalty held by Homestake Mining Company of California and a wholly owned subsidiarybuyback right for 51% interest in the property subject to, among other provisions, the establishment of Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”), fora 1,000,000-ounce reserve and/or inferred resource from one or more deposits located within a one-kilometer area of influence surrounding the property.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the Company purchased an additional 334 acres of patented mining claims.

In May 2020, JR and the Company entered into an amended and restated promissory note in the amount of $1,450,000, which includes the $300,000 that was advanced in February 2020 and an additional $1,150,000 that was advanced in May 2020. The amended and restated unsecured note bears interest at 0.25% per year, compounded annually, and matures on December 31, 2021. At maturity, the principal amount of the note, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, will be due and payable in cash, provided that, if and to the extent that the Company does not pay this note in cash on the maturity date, then JR will be required to exercise, and will in fact be deemed to have exercised, its right to convert such unpaid portion of the note into shares of Company common stock. The conversion price is $0.15 per share through December 31, 2020 and, thereafter, the lesser of $0.15 per share on the volume weighted average price of Company common stock for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of such conversion (with a floor of $0.10 per share).

The proceeds from the debt issuance were allocated between the debt instrument and the purchase option based on their estimated relative fair values (management calculated the initial estimated fair values, to be followed up with a third-party valuation). The Company estimated that $1,305,000 of the total proceeds was allocable to the purchase option and recognized through a charge to additional paid-in capital with a corresponding discount on the debt. The debt discount will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the note using the effective interest method.

Overview

Overview

Our goal is to create shareholder value through the acquisition, responsible exploration and future development of high caliber gold properties in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Our management and technical teams have more than 50 combined years of mining and exploration experience in the Black Hills with Homestake Mining Company, which we believe has uniquely positioned Dakota Territory to leverage our direct experience and knowledge of past exploration endeavors to focus our programs at the point where Homestake Mining Company left off in the 1990’s.1990's.

We believe that theThe Black Hills of South Dakota has yielded approximately 44.6 million ounces of gold production from athe 100 square mile area known as the Homestake District. Despite the gold endowment of the area, we believe the District is generally underexplored and lacks a concerted effort to search for gold under the cover of younger sedimentary and igneous rocks that dominate the surface. The Black Hills of South Dakota is a safe low-cost jurisdiction with well-developed mining infrastructure and is a jurisdiction in which regulatory authorities have consistently demonstrated a willingness to work with responsible operators to permit well-planned compliant projects.

Since 2012, we have consistently pursued a strategy of expanding our portfolio of brownfields exploration properties located exclusively within the Homestake District to build a dominant land position with the goal of consolidating the remaining mineral potential. Our property acquisitions have been based on our past exploration experiences, the extensive data sets we have assembled over the past 8 years, and new research the Company haswe have conducted on the gold system that created the District. Dakota TerritoryWe currently holdshold eight brownfield exploration project areas in the district comprised of unpatented claims and a combination of surface and mineral leasesproperties covering a total of approximately 18,18219,604 mineral acres. We have not established that any of our projects or properties contain any proven or probable reserves under SEC Industry Guide 7.

Planned Activities

On March 6, 2020, the Company acquired 65 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 1,152 acresOur planned activities during fiscal 2022 are focussed on advancing our Maitland, Blind Gold, City Creek and Tinton gold exploration properties and to continue to build on our overall property position in the Homestake District of the Black Hills of South Dakota. The property is contiguous

We continue to the Company's Blind Gold Property and is the subject to historic prospecting activity that we believe suggests the occurrence of gold and/or silver mineralization at multiple locales on the property. We believe that the property is also a target for Pre-Cambrian Homestake style gold mineralization under the younger cover rocks based on the Company’s projections of the Homestake stratigraphic sequence (Ellison, Homestake, and Poorman Formations) and inversion modeling of geophysical surveymodel data completedacquired by our technical team in late 2018.

On May 18, 2020, the Company increased its land holdings in the Black Hills through the staking of 70 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 1,120 acres located on the western margin of the structural corridor that extends north of the Homestake Gold Mine. The West Corridor property is located just south of the mineral property Dakota Territory acquired from Deadbroke Mining Company in the Maitland Area in March of 2014, just north of the producing Wharf Mine (Coeur Mining) and just to the south and east of the former Richmond Hill Mine (Barrick Gold). We believe that the Property is a target for both Homestake Iron Formation hosted gold mineralization under the cover of younger sedimentary and igneous rocks that also host tertiary-aged replacement gold and silver mineralization in the area.

In May 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with JR Resources Corp. (“JR”) whereby JR loaned the Company an aggregate of $1,450,000 and the Company granted JR the right to purchase up to 142,566,667 shares of common stock at $0.15 per share in one or more closings on or prior to October 15, 2020 (“Agreement”). On October 15, 2020, the Company and JR effected the first closing under this Agreement whereby JR purchased 69,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock for aggregate consideration of $10,450,000, including $9,000,000 in cash and $1,450,000 upon conversion of the principal amount of the May 2020 promissory note. Additionally, the Company and JR entered into an amending agreement on October 15, 2020 (“Amending Agreement”) whereby (i) it was agreed to extend the balance of the May 2020 purchase right until February 15, 2021, which will allow JR the option to purchase up to an additional 72,900,000 shares of common stock for up to an additional $10,935,000, and (ii) the Company created two director vacancies and agreed to allow for two JR nominees to be appointed, of which Alex Morrison was appointed as a director to fill one vacancy.

On July 23, 2020, the Company announced that it had substantially increased its land holdings in the Black Hills of South Dakota through the staking of 166 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 3,152 acres located immediately north and adjacent to the Company’s City Creek Property. The project area was first expanded in 2018 on the basis of inversion modeling of historical geophysical survey data. Subsequent reconnaissance and preliminary analysis of the Company’s new geophysical data provided evidence of underlying shear fabric on a similar orientation with the productive structural corridor north of the Homestake Mine.



On September 15, 2020, the Company increased its land holdings in the Homestake District of the Black Hills of South Dakota through the staking of 50 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 840 acres at the historic Ragged Top Gold Camp. Tertiary-aged gold mineralization in the Ragged Top area is hosted primarily in the Paha Sapa Limestone formation and has been mined from both vertical fissures called “Verticals” and from collapsed breccias. The Company’s Ragged Top property acquisition is located just northwest of the producing Wharf Mine (Coeur Mining) and approximately 3 miles southwest of the former Richmond Hill Mine (Barrick Gold). Dakota Territory believes the Property to be an excellent prospect for additional tertiary-aged limestone hosted gold mineralization and for tertiary-aged gold and silver replacement mineralization in the preferred Deadwood formation host that lies under the cover of the limestone that dominates the surface exposure.

On October 23, 2020, we closed the purchase of the Maitland Gold Property in the Black Hills of South Dakota from Homestake Mining Company of California, a wholly owned subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corporation (“Barrick”), for total consideration of $4.82 million, comprised of $3.5 million cash and the issuance of 3 million shares of Company common stock valued at $0.44 per share, or $1.32 million. Additionally, Barrick will retain a 2.5% net smelter returns royalty on the property. The 2,112 mineral-acre Maitland acquisition will secure an important component of the Company’s strategy for the structural corridor that extends from the Homestake Gold Mine to the Company’s Blind Gold Property at the northern end of the Black Hills District.

On November 30, 2020, the Company announced the acquisition of 64 unpatented lode mining claims covering approximately 1,092 acres located south and to the west of the former Homestake Gold Mine. The Poorman Anticline Property covers the southwestern-most extension of the Homestake iron-formation host in the district. Gold mineralization was discovered underground on the 2600 and 4100 foot levels in the far western extents of the Homestake Mine in the 1950's and 60’s with little known historic follow-up exploration in the Poorman Anticline closer to surface. Dakota Territory’s targeting in the Poorman Anticline is based on the presence of the Homestake iron-formation host and projected intersections with important shear fabric that is known to have conducted fluids necessary to the deposition of gold mineralization in the northern extents of the structural corridor.

In August 2020, we completed a broad high definition airborne geophysical survey to enhance our current drill targets, as well as to screen other areas of interest within the district. We plan to conduct additionalhave budgeted for several field sampling /mappingsampling/mapping programs and to continue to locate additional targets toand add historic information to our extensive data sets. We expect in the near futurehave planned to complete site preparations and to conduct our first drill program on the Paleoplacer Property.deep Maitland iron-formation target and other tertiary-replacement targets in the Maitland area.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’sManagement's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with account principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).US GAAP. Preparation of financial statements requires management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies. Management bases its estimates on various assumptions and historical experience, which are believed to be reasonable; however, due to the inherent nature of estimates, actual results may differ significantly due to changed conditions or assumptions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our financial statements are fairly presented in accordance with U.S.US GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Management believes that the following critical accounting estimates and judgments have a significant impact on our financial statements:

·Valuation valuation of purchase option granted to JR, 

·Valuation of stock options granted to directors and officers using the Black-Scholes model and

·Valuationfair value of mineral properties. The accounting policies are described in greater detail in Note 2 to our audited annual financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officerour chief executive officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer,chief financial officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e)13a-15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e)15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation the CEO and the CFO have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that: (i) information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and (ii) material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow for accurate and timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes inManagement's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US GAAP. Management has assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness, as defined by SEC rules, is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting that were identified are:

a)   We did not maintain sufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of US GAAP commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements. We have limited experience in the areas of financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. Also, we do not have an independent audit committee. As a result, there is a lack of monitoring of the financial reporting process and there is a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements, including disclosures, will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis; and

b)   Due to our small size, we do not have a proper segregation of duties in certain areas of our financial reporting process. The areas where we have a lack of segregation of duties include cash receipts and disbursements, approval of purchases and approval of accounts payable invoices for payment. This control deficiency, which is pervasive in nature, results in a reasonable possibility that material misstatements of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

18


As a result of the existence of these material weaknesses as of June 30, 2021, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2021, based on the criteria set forth by the COSO in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.


This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to SEC rules.

Changes to Internal Controls and Procedures over Financial Reporting

We intend to modify our internal control over financial reporting once we have adequate funding to allow adding additional advisors to address deficiencies in the financial closing, review and analysis process, which will improve our internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially effect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Management's Remediation Plans

We will look to increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function with available funds. Management believes that hiring additional knowledgeable personnel with technical accounting expertise will remedy the following material weakness: insufficient personnel with an appropriate level of technical accounting knowledge, experience, and training in the application of US GAAP commensurate with our complexity and our financial accounting and reporting requirements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2020.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization designated the new coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a global pandemic. Federal, state and local governments have mandated orders to slow the transmission of the virus, including but not limited to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, restrictions on travel, and work restrictions that prohibit many employees from going to work. Uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has resulted in significant volatility in the financial markets. The restrictions put in place by federal, state and local governments could delay our exploration and any development plans related to our properties. Furthermore, the impact of the pandemic on the global economy could also negatively impact the availability and cost of future borrowings should the need arise.
