CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-QThe financial statements and notes thereto contains certain “forward-looking” statements as such term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its rules, regulations and releases, which represent the Company’s expectations or beliefs, including but not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s strategy, operations, economic performance, financial condition, resource drilling strategies, investments, and future operational plans. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intent,” “could,” “estimate,” “might,” “plan,” “predict” or “continue” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, many assuming that the Company secures adequate financing and is able to continue as a going concern, including statements regarding, among other things: our ability to continue as a going concern; including but not limited to statements regarding the following:
•exploration for minerals is highly speculative and involves greater risk than many other businesses; as such, most exploration programs fail to result in the discovery of economic mineralization;
•our mineralized material calculations at various projects are only estimates and are based principally on historic data;
•actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns may differ significantly from those that we have anticipated;
•exposure to all of the risks associated with restarting and establishing new mining operations, if the development of one or more of our mineral projects is found to be economically feasible;
•title to some of our mineral properties may be uncertain or defective;
•land reclamation and mine closure may be burdensome and costly;
•significant risk and hazards associated with mining operations;
•we will require additional financing in the future to develop a mine at any other projects;
•the requirements that we obtain, maintain and renew environmental, construction and mining permits, which is often a costly and time-consuming process and may be opposed by local environmental group;
•our anticipated needs for working capital;
•our ability to secure financing;
•claims and legal proceedings against us;
•our lack of necessary financial resources to complete development of our projects and the uncertainty of our future financing plans;
•our exposure to material costs, liabilities and obligations because of environmental laws and regulations (including changes thereto) and permits;
•changes in the price of silver and gold;
•extensive regulation by the U.S. government as well as state and local governments;
•our projected sales and profitability;
•our business growth strategies;
•anticipated trends in our industry;
•the lack of commercial acceptance of our product or by-products;
•problems regarding availability of materials and equipment;
•failure of equipment to process or operate in accordance with specifications, including expected throughput, which could prevent the production of commercially viable output; and
•our ability to seek out and acquire high qualityadditional high-quality gold, silver and/or copper properties.
Occurrence of such events or circumstances could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows or the market price of our securities. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements by or
attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these factors. Except as may be required by securities or other law, the Company does not intend to undertake to update the information in this Form 10-Q if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate whether as a result of new information, future events, or other circumstances.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING EXPLORATION STAGE STATUS
We believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are considered an “exploration stage” companybased on reasonable assumptions, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known to us. Consequently, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties and actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences in results and outcomes include, without limitation, those specifically addressed under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Industry Guide 7, Descriptionheading “Risk Factors” as detailed in Item1A of Property by Issuers Engaged or to be Engaged in Significant Mining Operations (“Industry Guide 7”), because we doour Form 10-K filed on October 13, 2022. You should not have reservesunduly rely on any of our forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as defined under Industry Guide 7. Reserves are defined in Industry Guide 7 as that part of a mineral deposit which can be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The establishmentdate of reserves under Industry Guide 7 requires, among other things, certain spacing of exploratory drill holes to establish the required continuity of mineralization and the completion of a detailed cost or feasibility study.this filed Form 10-Q.
Because we have no reserves as defined in Industry Guide 7, we have not exited the exploration stage and continue to report our financial information as an exploration stage entity as required under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Although for purposes of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 915, Development Stage Entities, we have exited the development stage and no longer report inception to date results of operations, cash flows and other financial information, we will remain an exploration stage company under Industry Guide 7 until such time as we demonstrate reserves in accordance with the criteria in Industry Guide 7.
Because we have no reserves, we have and will continue to expense all mine construction costs, even though these expenditures are expected to have a future economic benefit in excess of one year. We also expense our reclamation and remediation costs at the time the obligation is incurred. Companies that have reserves and have exited the exploration stage typically capitalize these costs, and subsequently amortize them on a units-of-production basis as reserves are mined, with the resulting depletion charge allocated to inventory, and then to cost of sales as the inventory is sold. As a result of these and other differences, our financial statements will not be comparable to the financial statements of mining companies that have established reserves and have exited the exploration stage.
SEC INDUSTRY GUIDE 7 DEFINITIONS
The following definitions are taken from the mining industry guide entitled “Description of Property by Issuers Engaged or to be Engaged in Significant Mining Operations” contained in the Securities Act Industry Guides published by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, as amended.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2019
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS DESCRIPTIONNATURE OF OPERATIONS
Santa Fe Gold Corporation (the “Company”, “our” or “we”) is a U.S. mining company incorporated in Delaware in August 1991. Our general business strategy is to acquire, explore, develop and mine mineral properties. The Company elected on August 26, 2015, to file for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection, Case # 15-11761 (MFW) and that case was dismissed on June 15, 2016. The Summit Silver-Gold Project, the Lordsburg Copper Project, Black Canyon Mica Project, Planet MIO Project, all claims and other assets were lost in the process. After the Company emerged from the bankruptcy with a management team of two with no assets, we developed a business plan to raise equity funds to acquire new mining claims, a potential processing plant or arrangements with a processing plant in an acceptable geographic location to potential new mining claims.
In January 2019 the Company has acquired right of use on two properties in western New Mexico, consisting of eight (8) patented claims and two unpatented claims, all located in the Steeple Rock Mining District, Grant County, New Mexico and athe related water rights lease agreement.agreements. The two properties are known as the Billali Mine and the Jim Crow Imperial Mine. The Company has begunmade improvements to the Jim Crow Imperial mine to startand has commenced mining operations during the third calendar quarter of 2020. In the last week of November 2020, our mine manager contacted the COVID-19 virus and later two of our employee miners contacted it also and we shut the mining operation down and currently the mines and equipment are under a maintenance protocol. Currently it is anticipated to reopen the mines in late 2022 or in the first quarter of 2023 when we complete the construction of our mill operation in Duncan, Arizona. The Company has no current COVID-19 problems.
We are considered an “exploration stage” company under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) IndustryS-K 1300. The mining leases and other mineral rights we have control of, however, none of them contain any proven or probable reserves, as defined under S-K 1300. As such, they are all currently considered “exploratory” in nature. The new S-K 1300 guide replaced SEC Guide 7.7 and went into effect for the Company beginning with our fiscal year July 1, 2021. We are now required to file our Forms 10-Q and 10-K reports with the Commission aligned to S-K 1300 requirements. S-K 1300 is aligned more closely to CRIRSC definitions and shares similarities with, but not equal to, other reporting codes applicable to the mining industry such as NI 43-101.
Interim Financial StatementsCovid-19
The accompanying unauditedOn January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in exposure globally.
At this time, we cannot foresee whether the outbreak of COVID-19 will continue be effectively contained, nor can we predict the severity and duration of its impact. If the outbreak of COVID-19 or other infectious viruses are not effectively and timely controlled, our business plans and financial statementscondition may be materially and related notes presentadversely affected as a result of the Company’s consolidatedpotential deteriorating economic outlook or other factors that we cannot foresee. Any of these factors and other factors beyond our control could have an adverse effect on the overall business environment and cause our business to suffer in ways that we cannot predict at this time and that may materially and adversely impact our business plans, financial position as of September 30, 2019condition and June 30, 2019 (Audited), the consolidated results of operations foroperations.
With three of our mine employees contacted the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the consolidated statements of shareholders’ deficit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and, consolidated cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally acceptedCOVID-19 virus in the United Stateslast week of America for interimNovember 2020, we shut the mining operation down and currently the mines and equipment are under a maintenance protocol. With the current COVID -19 situation and the current inability to process the mined ore we anticipate not restarting the mining operation until late 2022 or in the first quarter of 2023, depending on the projected completion of our mill operation in Duncan, Arizona.
At this time, we cannot foresee whether the potential COVID-19 or any other variants that may affect our future operations, nor if an occurrence should happen, can we predict the severity and duration of its impact. Our business plans and financial informationcondition may be materially and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include alladversely affected as a result of the informationpotential deteriorating economic outlook or other factors that we cannot foresee.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the resultsways that we cannot predict at this time and that may be expected formaterially and adversely impact our business plans, financial condition and results of future operations. Currently, COVID-19 and any variants has had no additional effect on the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 2 to the Company’s financial statements included in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. These interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on July 15, 2020.Company.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries AZCO Mica, Inc., a Delaware corporation, The Lordsburg Mining Company, a New Mexico corporation, and Santa Fe Gold Barbados Corporation, a Barbados corporation, Santa Fe Acquisitions Company, a New Mexico Limited Liability Company, MineralMinerals Acquisitions, LLC, a New Mexico Limited Liability Company and Bullard’s Peak Corporation, a New Mexico Corporation.corporation. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.year. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Significant estimates are used when accounting for the Company'sCompany’s carrying value of mineral properties, useful life of fixed assets, depreciation and amortization, accruals, derivative instrument liabilities, valuation of warrants, taxes and contingencies, asset retirement obligations, revenue recognition, and stock-based compensation.compensation which are discussed in the respective notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurementsof Financial Instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. | |
Level 2 | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. | |
Level 3 | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. A slight change in unobservable inputs such as volatility can significantly have a significant impact on the fair value measurement of the derivatives liabilities.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The carrying valuesamounts of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximatedapproximate their related fair values asbecause of September 30, 2019, and June 30, 2019, due to the relatively short-term natureshort maturity of these instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all liquid investments purchased with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash balances.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment areis carried at cost. MaintenanceThe cost of repairs and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the respective assetsmaintenance are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for new propertyincurred and major replacements and improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or equipment and expenditures that extend the useful livesdisposed of, existing property and equipment are capitalized and recorded at cost.

Derivative Financial Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) provides guidance that requires derivative instruments to be recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments depends on their intended use and resulting hedge designations. For derivative instruments designated as hedges, the changes in fair value are recorded in the balance sheets as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedges are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations, generally as a component of other income (expense).
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During the periods when they are anti-dilutive, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered in the computation. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the impact of outstanding stock equivalents has not been included as they would be anti-dilutive.
A reconciliation of the weighted average shares outstanding used in the basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) computation is as follows:

The number of stock options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was 100,000 and excluded warrants was 4,320,000, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
Stock-Based Compensation
Share-based compensation is accounted for based on the requirements of ASC 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation’ (“ASC 718”), which requires recognition in the financial statements of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments over the period the employee or director is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively, the vesting period). ASC 718 also requires measurement of the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. Pursuant to ASC 505, “Equity—Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees” (“ASC 505-50”), for share-based payments to consultants and other third parties, compensation expense is determined at the measurement date, which is the grant date. Until the measurement date is reached, the total amount of compensation expense remains uncertain.
The Company accounts for share-based compensation on the grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for valuation of the share-based payments. The Company believes this model provides the best estimate of fair value due to its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such as volatility and interest rates, and to allow for actual exercise behavior of option holders. The compensation cost is recognized over the expected vesting period. Share based payments to nonemployees are valued at the earlier or a commitment date or completion of services. The Company had stock-based compensation of $15,279 and $17,800 in the three months ending September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Accounting Standards to be Adopted in Future Periods
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with a term of more than one year. Accounting by lessors will remain similar to existing U.S. GAAP. Subsequent accounting standards updates have been issued, which amend and/or clarify the application of ASU 2016-02. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted Topic 842 as of July 1, 2019 and at this time the new standard will not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements until significant a lease agreement is entered.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting”, which expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which the grantor acquires goods and services to be used or consumed in its own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. ASU 2018-07 also clarifies that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (1) financing to the issuer or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC 606. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but no earlier than adoption of ASC 606. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07, effective July 1, 2019, and determined the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which removes, modifies and adds various disclosure requirements related to fair value disclosures. Disclosures related to transfers between fair value hierarchy levels will be removed and further detail around changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period and unobservable inputs used in determining level 3 fair value measurements will be added, among other changes. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Mine Development
Drilling and related costs are capitalized for an ore body where proven and probable reserves exist and the activities are directed at obtaining additional information on the ore body or converting non-reserve mineralization to proven and probable reserves. All other drilling and related costs are expensed as incurred. Drilling costs incurred during the production phase for operational ore control are allocated to inventory costs and then included as a component of costs applicable to sales.
Mine development is amortized using the units-of-production method based upon estimated recoverable ounces in proven and probable reserves. To the extent that these costs benefit an entire ore body, they are amortized over the estimated life of the ore body. Costs incurred to access specific ore blocks or areas that only provide benefit over the life of that area are amortized over the estimated life of that specific ore body. Currently, with no claims or mines in our possession that have proven and probable reserves, we have no development costs incurred. As of September 30, 2019,2022, the Company has not established proven or probable reserves or established the commercial feasibility of any of our exploration projects in the opinion of a qualified person as defined in Regulation S-K 1300 and all explorationmine development costs are being expensed. The Company may never identifyexpensed as incurred.
Mineral Rights
Mineral properties are capitalized at their fair value at the acquisition date, either as an individual asset purchase or as part of a business combination. When it is determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing reserves, subsequent mine development is capitalized and are amortized using the units of production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on estimated recoverable tonnage in proven and probable reserves.
Mineral RightsThe Company’s mineral rights generally are enforceable regardless of whether proven and probable reserves have been established. The Company has the ability and intent to renew mineral interests where the existing term is not sufficient to recover all identified and valued proven and probable reserves and/or undeveloped mineralized material.
To date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of any exploration projects; therefore, all exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral properties are capitalized at their fair value at the acquisition date, either as an individual asset purchase or as part of a business combination. ASC 930-805, “Extractive Activities-Mining: Business Combinations.” ASC 930-805 states that mineral rights consist of the legal right to explore, extract, and retain at least a portion of the benefits from mineral deposits. Mining assets include mineral rights.
Acquired mineral rights are considered tangible assets under ASC 930-805. As a result, the direct costs to acquire mineral rights are initially capitalized as tangible assets. Mineral rights include costs associated with acquiring patented and unpatented mining claims.
When a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs are amortized on a units-of-production basis over the proven and probable reserves following the commencement of production. The Company assesses the carrying costs of the capitalized mineral properties for impairment under ASC 360-10, “Impairment of long-lived assets”, and evaluates the carrying value under ASC 930-360, “Extractive Activities - Mining”, annually. An impairment is recognized when the sum of the expected
undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the mineral properties. Impairment losses, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the mineral properties over its estimated fair value.
When it is determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing reserves, subsequent mine development is capitalized and are amortized using the units of production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on estimated recoverable tonnage in proven and probable reserves. We may never identify proven and probable reserves.
At the timeTo date, the Company has a revenue stream from a project,not established the economically viability of any of our exploration prospects as defined under Regulation S-K, therefore, all exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company will amortize any capitalized balance each quarter. Companiesreviews long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that have reserves under SEC Industry Guide 7 typically capitalize these costs, and subsequently depreciate or amortize them on a units-of-production basis as reserves are mined. Unlike these other companies, our properties have no reserves and we will depreciate or amortize any capitalized costs based on the most appropriate amortization method, which includes straight-line or units-of-production method over the estimated remaining lifecarrying amount of the mine, as determined by our geologist. As we have no reliable information to compute a units of production methodology, we will amortize our capitalized costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining life of the mine as determined by our geologist. Because of these and other differences, our financial statementsassets may not be comparable tofully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the financial statementssum of mining companies that have provenexpected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and probable reserves on their properties.its book value. The Company did not recognize any impairment during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Reclamation Costsand Asset Retirement Obligation
Reclamation obligations (“ARO”) are recognized when incurred and recorded as liabilities at fair value. The liability is accreted over time through periodic charges to accretion expense. The asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the asset’s carrying value and depreciated over the life of the related asset. Reclamation costs are periodically adjusted to reflect changes in the estimated present value resulting from the passage of time and revisions to the estimates of either the timing or amount of the reclamation costs. The reclamation obligation is based on when spending for an existing disturbance will occur. The Company reviews, on an annual basis, unless otherwise deemed necessary, the reclamation obligation at each mine site in accordance with the provisions of ASC 440, “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations”, which establishes the standardsguidance for the initial measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the sale, abandonment, or other disposal of long-lived tangible assets arising from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal operations of such assets.reclamation obligations. No reclamation costs were required for the three months ended September 30, 2019.2022 and 2021.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. From time to time, the Company reviews the terms of convertible debt, equity instruments and other financing arrangements to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. Also, in connection with the issuance of financing instruments, the Company may issue freestanding options or warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. The Company may also issue options or warrants to non-employees in connection with consulting or other services.
Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. To the extent that the initial fair values of the freestanding and/or bifurcated derivative instrument liabilities exceed the total proceeds received, an immediate charge to income is recognized as a one-day derivative loss, in order to initially record the derivative instrument liabilities at their fair value.
The discount from the face value of convertible debt or equity instruments resulting from allocating some or all of the proceeds to the derivative instruments, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income, using the effective interest method.
When required to arrive at the fair value of derivatives associated with the convertible notes and warrants, a Black Scholes or Monte Carlo model are utilized that values the Convertible Note and Warrant based on average discounted cash flow factoring in the various potential outcomes by a Chartered Financial Analyst (‘CFA”). In determining the fair value of the financial derivatives, the CFA assumes that the Company’s business would be conducted as a going concern.
The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. If reclassification is required, the fair value of the derivative instrument, as of the determination date, is reclassified. Any previous charges or credits to income for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are not reversed. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with a term of more than one year. Accounting by lessors will remain similar to existing U.S. GAAP. Subsequent accounting standards updates have been issued, which amend and/or clarify the application of ASU 2016-02. For the purposes of recognizing ROU assets and lease liabilities associated with the Company’s leases, the Company has elected the practical expedient to not recognize a ROU asset or lease liability for short-term leases, which are leases with a term of twelve months or less. The lease term is defined as the noncancelable portion of the lease term plus any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted Topic 842 as of July 1, 2019 and at this time the standard will not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements until a significant lease agreement is entered.
Warrants
In connection with certain financing, the Company has issued warrants to purchase shares of its common stock. The outstanding warrants are standalone instruments that are not puttable or mandatorily redeemable by the holder and are classified as equity awards. The Company measures the fair value of the awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model as of the measurement date. Warrants are recorded at fair value as expense over the requisite service period or at the date of issuance, if there is not a service period.
The Company assessed the classification of its common stock purchase warrants as of the date of each equity offering and determines that such instruments meet the criteria for equity classification, as the settlement terms indicate that the instruments are indexed to the entity’s underlying stock. Warrant and option expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $37,699 and $90,633, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach, which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of such assets and liabilities. This method utilizes enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and gives immediate effect to changes in income tax rates upon enactment. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be unrealizable in future periods. As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the full amount of its net deferred tax assets. The inability to foresee taxable income in future years makes it more likely than not that the Company will not realize its recorded deferred tax assets in future periods.
Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued using the treasury stock method. Diluted loss per share excludes all
potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2021. For three months ended September 30, 2022 the calculations of basic and diluted loss per share are presented below.
The potentially dilutive securities consisted of the following for the period ended September 30, 2022:

Stock-Based Compensation
In connection with terms of employment with the Company’s executives and employees, the Company occasionally issues options to acquire its common stock. Awards are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Such options may be exercisable at varying exercise prices and generally vested upon date of grant or may vest over a period of six months to a year. The Company accounts for option-based compensation on the grant date fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for valuation of the share-based payments. The Company believes this model provides the best estimate of fair value due to its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such as volatility and interest rates, and to allow for actual exercise behavior of option holders. The compensation cost is recognized over the expected vesting period.
The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 718, “Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), 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 employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). New shares of the Company’s common stock are issued for any options exercised.
Share based payments to employees and nonemployees are valued at the earlier or a commitment date or completion of services. The Company had no stock-based compensation for the three-months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

The Company during the current quarter, began maintenance and repair activities at the Jim Crow mine site along with geological work on the site and related mine ore material. The Company during this quarter purchased the required materials and equipment to perform the required activities under our mine manager. During the quarter our major mining equipment purchases aggregated $174,053. The significant acquisitions were mainly a crusher, generators, wheel loader, conveyors and freight on related heavy equipment purchases. We also purchased a site for a storage yard for our mine inventory for $35,000 and is accessible to our Billali and Jim Crow mines. The property consist of 1.64 acres, has water and electricity to the property, a night security light and security fencing with a truck access gate.

Exploration Status Overview
We have not established that the Alhambra - Blackhawk project or Billali Mine - Jim Crow mineCrow/Imperial Mine rights projects contain proven or probablymineral reserves, as defined in Regulation S-K 1300. Acquired mineral rights are considered tangible assets under Industry Guide 7. MinimalASC 930-805. ASC 930-805 requires that mineral rights be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. Mining assets include mineral rights. The payments made under the Billali Mine - Jim Crow Mine Agreement are capitalized by the Company and if a revenue stream is attained, of which there can be no assurance, the capitalized balance will be amortized to expense.
We are an exploration activitiesstage company as our properties have commencedno mineral reserves disclosed as defined in Regulation S-K 1300. A mineral reserve is an estimate of tonnage and grade or quality of indicated and measured mineral resources that, in the opinion of the qualified person, can be the basis of an economically viable project. Because of costs to date and minimalattain mineral reserves, it should be noted, we may never exit the exploration costs have been incurred and expensed. stage status.
To date, with respect to the Alhambra - Blackhawk project, the Company has not (i) commenced or adopted plans to conduct any exploration, (ii) prepared drilling plans, proposals, timetables or budgets for exploration work, or (iii) identified engineers and other personnel that will conduct or assist in any exploration work. The Company will need to raise funds to conduct additional exploration work and it currently lacks a firm financing commitment for any exploration activities.
On December 1, 2020, the Company made a joint announcement with Texas Mineral Resources Corp. (“TMRC”), of the execution of a letter agreement to pursue, negotiate and thereafter enter into a definitive joint venture agreement with TMRC to jointly explore and develop a targeted silver property to be selected by TMRC among patented and unpatented mining claims held by Santa Fe Gold within the Black Hawk Mining District in Grant County, New Mexico. Completion of a joint venture agreement is subject to the successful outcome of a multi-phase exploration plan to be undertaken in the near future by TMRC. Under terms of the letter agreement TMRC plans to conduct a district-wide evaluation among the patented and unpatented claims held by Santa Fe Gold consisting of geologic
mapping, sampling, trenching, radiometric surveying, geophysics, drilling and/or other methods as warranted. The purpose of the letter agreement was to allow TMRC the ability to enter onto the Company’s property, begin incurring the costs associated with the work necessary to secure a bankable feasible study. The parties may then secure the funding needed to develop and mine the 80 acres that TMRC identifies. TMRC will be responsible for mining operations and will receive 51% of the profits as defined in the definitive agreement, when executed. The Company will receive 49% of the profits.
On July 28, 2022, TMRC issued a press release that updated the successful completion of their geophysical work in the Blackhawk mining district in New Mexico. The related project details that were provided to TMRC by the advanced technology deployed were cost effective and will assist TMRC in developing their next phase in their exploration program on project site.
The Company commenced development ofexploration work on the Jim Crow mine in late 2019. Work to date has consisted of beginning the upgrading of the surface facilities, rehabilitating the shaft, expanding the hoisting capability and underground developmentexcavation and mining preparation on three levels. AEarly in the third quarter of 2020 we commenced initial mining operations in the Jim Crow mine. The Company had our mined ore tested at a nearby smelter that it had used prior to our bankruptcy proceedings and the ore was approved for processing at the smelter. In November the smelter ceased taking all outside ore due to a new certification they were attempting to secure. At that time the Company was currently forced to change its current business plan and look for a favorable mill site to process our mined ore. In January 2020 a purchase option was entered into for a future crushing plant was purchased and installedsite in Duncan, Arizona. The Company had the right to cancel the Agreement at any time. The Company raised the funds purchase the mill property in Duncan, Arizona in late 2019.and the purchase closed on November 9, 2021.
Acquired mineral rightsWith three of our mine employees having contacted the COVID-19 virus in the last week of November 2020, we shut the mining operation down and currently the mines and equipment are considered tangible assets under ASC 930-805. ASC 930-805 requires that mineral rights be recognized at fair value asa maintenance protocol. With the current COVID -19 situation and the current inability to process the mined ore we anticipate not restarting the mining operation until late in 2022 or in the first quarter of 2023, depending on the acquisition date. Mining assets include mineral rights. The payments made underprojected completion of our mill operation in Duncan, Arizona.

Interest is due and payable on the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilitiesannual anniversary dates and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or inputprincipal is unobservable. A slight change in unobservable inputs such as volatility can significantly have a significant impactdue on the fair value measurementmaturity date of the derivatives liabilities.notes. The note holder loans are secured by the Duncan, Arizona mill property. Accrued interest on the notes at September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022 is $36,657 and $26,575, respectively.

In conjunction with each note issuance, the Company granted 4,000,000 two-year vested stock options with a strike price of $0.05 per share.
Paycheck Protection Program Loans
During the quarter ending June 30, 2020, the Company entered into a Promissory Notes (the “PPP Notes”) with Bank of Oklahoma as the lender (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender agreed to make the loans to the Company under the Paycheck Protection Program (the "PPP Loan") offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) in a principal amount of $224,700 pursuant to Title 1 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).

During our fiscal year 2021 we received two loans in the second round of the PPP loan program in the principal amount of $109,520.
The carrying amountsPPP Loan proceeds are available to be used to pay for payroll costs, including salaries, and similar compensation, group health care benefits, and paid leaves; rent; utilities; and interest on certain other outstanding debt. Any amount that will be forgiven will be calculated in part with reference to the Company’s fulltime headcount during the twenty-four-week covered period. Under the new regulations for the second draw, at least 60% of the Company’s financial assetsproceeds must be spent on payroll costs.
The interest rate on the PPP Note is a fixed rate of 1% per annum. To the extent that the amounts owed under the PPP Loans, or a portion of them, are not forgiven, the Company will be required to make principal and liabilities, such as cashinterest payments. Currently, the deferral period for payments of principal and accounts payable approximate their fair values becauseinterest is 10 months from the end of the shortcovered period. A loan forgiveness application must be submitted to the lender within the 10 months after the 24-week covered period. The Company will not have to begin principal and interest payments before the date on which the SBA remits the loan forgiveness amount to the lender.
Under current regulations, any monthly installments would begin approximately seventeen months from March 20, 2021. The PPP Notes have a maturity dates of these instruments.five years from their effective note date. The PPP Note includes events of default.

NOTE 8 –10 - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
BillaliCommodity Supply Agreement
In December 2009, the Company entered into a definitive gold stream agreement (the “Gold Stream Agreement”) with Sandstorm to deliver a portion of the life-of-mine gold production (excluding all silver production) from the Company’s Summit silver-gold mine. Under the agreement, the Company received advances of $4,000,000 as an upfront deposit, plus continues to receive future ongoing payments equal to the lesser of: $400 per ounce or the prevailing market price, (the “Fixed Price”) for each ounce of gold delivered pursuant to the Gold Stream Agreement for the life of the mine. The Company purchases and Jim Crow/Imperial Mines Projectdelivers refined gold in order to satisfy the requirements of the Gold Stream Agreement and receives the Fixed Price per ounce in cash from Sandstorm. The difference between the prevailing market price and the Fixed Price per ounce for gold delivered is credited against the upfront deposit of $4,000,000 until the obligation is reduced to zero. Future ongoing payments for gold deliveries will continue at the Fixed Price per ounce with no additional credits or advances to be received from Sandstorm. In certain circumstances, including failure to meet minimum production rates, interruption in production due to permitting issues and customary events of default, the agreement may be terminated. In such event, the Company may be required to return to Sandstorm any remaining unaccredited balance of the original $4,000,000 upfront deposit. See NOTE 8 - COMPLETION GUARANTEE PAYABLE. Gold production subject to the agreement includes 50% of the first 10,000 ounces of gold produced, and 22% of the gold thereafter. The net cost of delivering refined gold along with other related transactional costs corresponding to the Gold Stream Agreement are recorded in Other Expenses as financing costs - commodity supply agreements.
Under the Gold Stream Agreement, the Company has a recorded obligation at September 30, 2022 and at June 30,2022 of 3,709 ounces of undelivered gold valued at approximately $4,717,077 and $5,255,827 respectively, presented in accrued liabilities on the balance sheet, net of the Fixed Price of $400 per ounce. The Summit silver-gold mine property referred to in this Gold Stream Agreement was sold in the 363 Asset Sale as of asset transfer on February 26, 2016.
Mineral Property Rights
The Company determined the Agreementagreement on the Billali and Jim Crow/Imperial mines is effectively a Right Of Use (“ROU”) asset lease and is cancellable at any time by the Company. There are no interest charges provided for in the Agreement.
Costs of mineral lease renewals, exploration, mine development, and carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties are expensed as incurred. The Company expenses all mineral exploration and development costs as incurred as it is stillwe are in the exploration stage. If the Company identifies proven and probablemineral reserves under Regulation S-K 1300, in its investigation of its properties and upon developmentin the opinion of a plan for operating a mine, itthe qualified person, can be the basis of an economically viable project, we would enter the development stage and capitalize future costs until production is established. The Company can cancelwill capitalize the payments under the Agreement as made. At the time the Company has a revenue stream from this project, the Company will amortize the capitalized payment balance each quarter. Companies that have mineral reserves under Regulation S-K 1300 typically capitalize these costs, and subsequently depreciate or amortize them on a units-of-production basis as reserves are mined. Unlike these other companies, on our properties that have no reserves we will depreciate or amortize any capitalized costs based on the most appropriate amortization method, which includes straight-line or units-of-production method over the estimated life of the mine, as determined by our geologist. As we have no reliable information to compute a units of production methodology, we will amortize our capitalized costs on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining mine life.
Based upon the terms of the ROU agreement, the Company does not have ownership of the properties and the ROU agreement provides for ownership transfer upon completion of all payments. The Company has the right to terminate the agreement at any time by written notice to the seller. Upon such termination by the Company, all right, title and interest of the Company under the ROU agreement will terminate with respect to the mines and water lease. The Company would be relieved of all further obligations as detailedset forth in the Agreement.ROU agreement except for any obligations which accrued prior to such termination. Upon such termination, the Company may not make any claims as to the right to reimbursement, set-off, other payment or other return of value paid by the Company for any improvements and any capitalized cost that has not been amortized on the Company’s books, would be written off to expense.
As of September 30, 2019,2022, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility ofmineral reserves on any of our exploration projects; therefore, all exploration costs are being expensed. InDuring the three months ended September 30, 2019,2022, we paid and capitalized $200,000payments of $75,000 under the Agreement. Acquired
It should also be noted, that the Company may never exit the exploration stage company status due to the costs of determining mineral rights are considered tangible assetsreserves under ASC 930-805. As a result, the directregulation S-K 1300.
costs to acquire mineral rights are initially capitalized as tangible assets. Mineral rights include costs associated with acquiring patented and unpatented mining claims
Payments under Amendment Five of the Amended Agreement No. 4 dated effective October 7, 2020, on the Billali and Jim Crow/Imperial projectmines are estimated as follows:

Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
NOTE 9 11 - STOCKHOLDERS'STOCKHOLDERS’ DEFICIT
The Company’s Common Stock was Deregistered and Trading was Halted
In July of 2020, the Company received notice from the SEC that it was seeking to deregister the Company’s common stock pursuant to Section 12(j), based on the Company’s failure to file periodic reports with the Commission and otherwise provide current information to the market. This failure was based in large part from the need to restate its financial statements and the need to find and engage a PCAOB auditor who was willing to conduct and provide the required audits amid the SEC and DOJ’s investigations. Although we were able to secure a qualified auditor, we were not able to make our filings quickly enough and by the time they were completed, the Commission had already sent a notice under Section 12(k). The Commission takes a hardline position in these situations such that once they have instituted deregistration proceedings, the only options available to the Company were to litigate or settle and consent to the deregistration of the Company’s common stock. Historically, registrants have not been successful in litigating with the Commission over Section 12(j) matters and therefore the Company determined that the best course of action was to consent to deregistration of its common stock and then file a new registration statement on Form 10-12G. On December 17, 2020, the SEC order suspending trading went into effect. At this time, the Company has signed a settlement agreement with the SEC with respect to the registration of its common stock in response to the Commission’s institution of deregistration proceedings under Section 12(j), it is re-registering the same under Section 12(g) by way of filing a Form 10-12G.
The Company filed our Form 10-12G Registration Statement with the SEC and on August 4, 2022 the SEC declared the Form 10-12G Registration Statement effective. The Company submitted the application to the Over-The-Counter Markets Group (the “OTC”) to trade on OTC-QB tier. Upon going through the initial OTC approval process, they requested the Company submit our Form 211 to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) for their review and approval. Upon receiving approval by FINRA we will then resubmit our application to the OTC for their approval and trade on one of their platforms. The Company’s complete and current effective Form 10-12G meets the information requirements required by Form 15c2-11. Until we have provided any required addition requested information and documentation required to FINRA and their approval of our Form 211 filing and the subsequent approval or our filing with the OTC, there will not be a publicly quoted market for our stock.
One of the consequences of having our common stock deregistered and submitting our forms with FINRA is that we are required to have a market maker sponsor and submit an updated/new Form 15c-211 as will be requested by FINRA. We are currently seeking to select a market maker to sponsor our Form 15c-211 filing with FINRA. Until FINRA has accepted our filing and we have provided all of the information and documentation required, there will not be a publicly quoted market for our stock. There can be no assurances that the market maker we select will agree to sponsor us or if they are not, that we will be successful in finding a market maker that is willing to sponsor us with FINRA or that we will be able to satisfy FINRA’s information and documentation requirements in a timely manner or at all. Any delay or failure in securing sponsorship from a market maker or in satisfying FINRA’s requirements would result in our shareholders not having a public market to sell their shares. Further, it would make it more difficult for the Company to obtain the financing it requires.

As of September 30, 2019,2022, the aggregate intrinsic value of all stock options and warrants vested and expected to vest was $992,300.$498,596 and the aggregate intrinsic value of currently exercisable stock options and warrants was $498,596. The intrinsic value of each option or warrant share is the difference between the fair market value of the common stock and the exercise price of such option or warrant share to the extent it is "in-the-money". Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value that would have been received by the holders of in-the-money options had they exercised their options on the last trading day of the quarter and sold the underlying shares at the closing stock price on such day. The intrinsic value calculation is based on the $0.083$0.0598 closing stock price of the common stock on December 17, 2020 when the stock was delisted. The total number of in-the-money options and warrants vested and exercisable as of September 30, 2019.2022 was 55,468,816.
The total intrinsic value associated with options exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2019,2022 was $0. Intrinsic value of exercised shares is the total value of such shares on the date of exercise less the cash received from the option or warrant holder to exercise the options.
The total grant-date fair value of option and warrant shares vested during the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $37,699.
NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES
The Company has had no income tax expense or benefit since July 1, 1997, because of operating losses. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the estimated future tax effect of differences between the financial statement and tax reporting basis of assets and liabilities, as well as for net operating loss carry forwards, given the provisions of existing tax laws. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and state jurisdictions and there are open statutes of limitations for taxing authorities to audit the Company’s tax returns from fiscal year ended June 30, 2022.
The approximate income tax benefit is computed by applying the current revised U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to net income (loss) before taxes for the fiscal years ended on and after June 30, 2019 and for prior tax years at the revised tax rate of 21%. New Mexico revised their tax rate to 6.2 % for 2017 and 5.9 % in 2019. The approximate income tax benefit is computed by applying the current revised New Mexico tax rate of 5.9% to net income (loss) before taxes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021, and the 5.9% rate to the prior four-year periods of net income or (loss).
In assessing the realizability of estimated deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. Due to the Company’s history of losses, the deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022.

The Company cannot predict the outcome of this arbitration, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not lose its interest in these claims, or owe seller the remaining outstanding amounts.

operations becoming subject to regulatory scrutiny. These investigations are ongoing and no prediction can be made regarding the timing or outcome of such matters including remedial action pursued against the Company and others, including its officers and directors.
In accordance with accounting standards regarding loss contingencies, the Company accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and the Company discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for its financial statements not to be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote.court.
We are subject from time to time to litigation, claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. Other than the above described litigation, as of September 30, 2019, we were not a party to any material litigation, claim or suit whose outcome could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because litigation outcomes are inherently unpredictable, the Company’s evaluation of legal proceedings often involves a series of complex assessments by management about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. If the assessments indicate that loss contingencies that could be material to any one of its financial statements are not probable, but are reasonably possible, or are probable, but cannot be estimated, then the Company discloses the nature of the loss contingencies, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss or a statement that such loss is not reasonably estimable. While the consequences of certain unresolved proceedings are not presently determinable, and an estimate of the probable and reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued for such proceedings cannot be reasonably made, an adverse outcome from such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on its financial statements in any given reporting period. However, in the opinion of Management, after consulting with legal counsel, the ultimate liability related to the current outstanding litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial statements.

InBecause we have no reserves, we have and will continue to expense all mine construction costs, even though these expenditures are expected to have a future economic benefit in excess of one year. We also expense our reclamation and remediation costs at the period from March 2020 through October 14, 2020,time the Company issued warrantsobligation is incurred. Companies that have reserves and have exited the exploration stage typically capitalize these costs, and subsequently amortize them on a units-of-production basis as reserves are mined, with the resulting depletion charge allocated to existing accredited investors aggregating 6,541,667,inventory, and 2,250,000 warrantsthen to cost of sales as the inventory is sold. As a result of these and other differences, our financial statements will not be comparable to the chairmanfinancial statements of mining companies that have established reserves and have exited the board that were attached to restricted stock purchases. The warrants were vested at issuance, have a two or three-year lifeexploration stage.

Revenues
During the period from October 1, 2019 through October 14, 2020,three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company issued 797,517had no revenue in the periods of measurement.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Our operating expenses incurred in three months ended September 30, 2022, decreased $59,005 from $366,221 in the three months ended September 30, 2021, to $307,216 for the current period of measurement. The decreases in operating expenses in the current period of measurement is attributable to decreased exploration and mine related costs of $12,385 and decreased general and administrative of $46,620.
The decrease in exploration and mine related costs is mainly a decrease in amortization expense of $4,568, a decrease in BLM claim fees of $6,000 and other mine costs of $1,817. The decrease in general and administrative of $46,620 mainly consisted in decreases in the following: legal fees of $11,634 and costs attributable to granted warrants and options of $52,933. These decreases were offset mainly by increases in the following areas: audit fees of $8,875; corporate filing fees of $5,090 and medical insurance of $1,733.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $367,814 as compared to a loss of ($87,227) for three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase in other income of $455,041. The net increase in other income for the current period of measurement is mainly comprised increases of the following income components: miscellaneous income of $172; recovery associated with misappropriated funds of $4,579; decrease in financing costs on commodity supply agreements of $463,269. These income items were offset by an increase in interest expense of $12,979. The increased interest expense are a result of increased notes payable in our current fiscal period of measurement. The financing costs for the commodity supply agreement relate directly to production and the subsequent undelivered refined precious metals due Sandstorm and Waterton for the period prior to the Company bankruptcy. The current period of measurement only includes Sandstorm as the Waterton financing costs – commodity supply agreement liability that remained on the books after the bankruptcy and the Agreement was terminated in the asset sale to Waterton on February 26, 2016. The remaining liability is adjusted period-to-period based upon the total number of undelivered gold and silver ounces outstanding at the end Agreement. The decrease in financing costs in computation for the current period of measurement is driven by a decrease in precious metals prices at of the period of measurement.

On August 26, 2015, Santa Fe filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection, Case # 15-11761 (MFW) in Delaware. With the dismissal of our bankruptcy case in June 15, 2016, all assets of the Company were sold. These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
To continue as a going concern, the Company is dependent on continued capital financing for project development, repayment of various debt facilities and payment of current operating expenses until the Company has constructed its mill operation and implemented ore production at our mine sites to process the mineralized ore to generate revenue. We have no commitment from any party to provide additional working capital and there is no assurance that any funding will be available as required, or if available, that its terms will be favorable or acceptable to the Company.
As of the periods presented in this Form 10-Q filing, the Company was in default debt facility payments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to pre-bankruptcy obligations as follows:

Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operational activities for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $155.2 thousand and $186.5 thousand, respectively. The net decrease in cash used in the current period of operations was a decrease in our loss of $514,046 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. This decrease was offset mainly by the decrease in the non-cash finance charge on the commodity supply agreement of $463,269 in the current period. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2022, here was a net increase of $38,897 in operating assets and liabilities offset net loss decrease. In addition, warrant/option expense decreased $52,394 and depreciation and amortization costs decreased $4,386 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 to offset the loss decrease.
Cash Provided from Investing Activities
The net increase in cash provided in the three months ended September 30, 2022, is mainly net sales proceeds from the sale of property received in the Tom Laws litigation of $176,078 and this current period increase was offset by sale proceeds of land of $37,478 that was received in the Tom Laws litigation in the three months ended September 30, 2021.
Cash Provided from Financing Activities
Cash provided from financing activity for the three months ended September 30, 2022 consisted of a purchase of restricted shares of common stock for consulting services$100,000 as compared to purchases of restricted shares of common stock for $208,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
We currently do not have sufficient capital to fund operations through our fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 and will need to raise additional funding to implement our current business strategy and projects in the planning stage. Currently, there can be no assurance of any revenue from our mine sites until we build our processing mill site in Duncan, Arizona. Ore that has been produced prior to the COVID-19 shut down is being inventoried for future processing at the future mill site. Even if we are successful in developing any of our properties, we expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable.
Current Plan of Operation
We believe that investors will gain a marketbetter understanding of our Company if they understand how we measure and talk about our results. As an exploration company, we recognize the importance of managing our liquidity and capital resources. We pay close attention to non-discretionary cash expenses and look for ways to minimize them when possible. We ensure we have sufficient cash on hand to meet our annual land holding costs as the maintenance of mining claims and leases that are essential to preserve the value of $62,707our mineral property assets and mineral interests we hold.
For the fiscal year 2023, our current business plan is to undertake the following:
Finalize the mill purchase and construction for ore processing and concentration.
Continued mine enhancements at the Jim Crow and Billali mines.
Resume mining operations at the Jim Crow and Billali mines.
Process head ore into concentrates and monetize for working capital cash flow.
Currently we have no continuing commitment from any party to provide additional working capital, or if one becomes available, there is no certainty that its terms will be favorable or acceptable to the Company. Historically, we and other similar exploration and development public companies have accessed capital through equity financing arrangements or by the sale of royalties on its mineral properties. If, however we are unable to obtain additional capital or financing, our exploration and development activities will be significantly adversely affected. Until positive cash flow is generated from operations, we will be dependent upon future working capital credit/finance facilities or equity financing arrangements to meet our expenses and to fund execution on our business plan.
We currently anticipate approximate cash expenditures for our fiscal year 2023 to be as follows:
$800 thousand on corporate administration expenses, comprising of executive management and employee salaries, legal, audit, marketing, SEC filings and other general and administrative expenses.
$0.9 million to $1.1 million on the dateJim Crow and Billali projects including exploration, mine development programs, mine enhancement projects, operational costs, including employee salaries, benefits and land holding costs.
$2.0 million for the mill acquisition and construction project in Duncan, Arizona which includes costs for the payoff on site real estate, site equipment, site construction, project development ramp up and initial operating costs.
We also expect to continue to incur significant operating and capital expenditures and anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future. As the Company has no commitment for debt or equity financing, the Company will be reliant upon its own best-efforts fundraising activities to provide sufficient working capital to fund current and immediate future needs. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its capital raising efforts, and the failure to raise needed capital will likely result in the curtailment or cessation of issuance.our business which would adversely affect investors.
Planned Joint Venture with Texas Mineral Resources Corporation
On December 1, 2020, the Company made a joint announcement with Texas Mineral Resources Corp. (“TMRC”), of the execution of a letter agreement to pursue, negotiate and thereafter enter into a definitive joint venture agreement with TMRC to jointly explore and develop a targeted silver property to be selected by TMRC among patented and unpatented mining claims held by Santa Fe Gold within the Black Hawk Mining District in Grant County, New Mexico. Completion of a joint venture agreement is subject to the successful outcome of a multi-phase exploration plan to be undertaken in the near future by TMRC. Under terms of the letter agreement TMRC plans to conduct a district-wide evaluation among the patented and unpatented claims held by Santa Fe Gold consisting of geologic mapping, sampling, trenching, radiometric surveying, geophysics, drilling and/or other methods as warranted. The purpose of the letter agreement was to allow TMRC the ability to enter onto the Company’s property, begin incurring the costs associated with the work
necessary to secure a bankable feasible study. The parties may then secure the funding needed to develop and mine the 80 acres that TMRC identifies.

ITEM 2 – MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Statements.” Our results and the timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including the risk factors described in this report and in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.
Overview
We are an exploration company that owns certain mining and mineral rights at our Alhambra-Blackhawk project and have right-of-use mineral rights comprising the Billali and Jim Crow-Imperial mine project in southwest New Mexico.
During the three-months ended September 30, 2019, the Company focused primarily on repair and improvement projects at the Jim Crow mine site and initiated our limited exploratory program at the mine site.
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realize the carrying value of its assets and to meet its liabilities as they become due.
The Company has recorded a net loss of $735,985 for the three months ended September 30, 2019, and has a total accumulated deficit of $94,214,655 and a working capital deficit at September 30, 2019 of $4,384,295. The Company used in operating activities, approximately $469,000. The Company currently has no source of generating revenue.
To continue as a going concern, the Company is dependent on continued capital financing for project development, repayment of various debt facilities and payment of current operating expenses until the Company has put into production, an acceptable source to generate mineralized ore to generate a revenue stream. Currently we have no commitment from any party to provide additional working capital and there is no assurance that any funding will be available as required, or if available, that its terms will be favorable or acceptable to the Company.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The results of operations in the past reflected a continued under-capitalization of our projects which required additional funding to be able to achieve full project performance and sustained potential profitability. We currently are dependent on additional financing to resume any mining operations and to continue our exploration efforts in the future as warranted.
Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
Revenue

The increases in operating expenses in the current period of measurement is attributable to increased exploration and mine related costs of $270,228, and increased general and administrative of $172,074 and an increase in depreciation of $6,670.
The increase in exploration and mine related costs were incurred on the Jim Crow mine and consisted of $156,470 in wages and payroll burden costs and other mine related costs of $113,758. The increase in general and administrative of $172,074 was mainly attributable to decreased consulting fees related to working capital raises of $62,803 and offset by an increase accounting and audit fees of $175,666, legal fees of $35,871 and salaries and payroll burden costs of $14,714.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.
ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
During the three months ended September 30, 2019, ourOur management, with the participation of our ChairmanChief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, ofevaluated the Company at that time, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (asas of September 30, 2022. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) ofunder the Securities Exchange Act, of 1934, as amended. Our Chairman and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2019, our disclosuremeans controls and other procedures were not effectiveof a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by usa company in the reports that we fileit files or submitsubmits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the required time periods specified in the SEC's rules and areforms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in ourthe reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to ourthe company's management, including our Chairmanits principal executive and Chief Financial Officer,principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. This was due toManagement recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the following material weakness:
Due tocost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the Company’s continuing financial condition, the Company had limited personnel which resulted in a lackevaluation of segregationour disclosure controls and procedures as of duties and a lack of formal reviews at multiple levels. A significant weakness existed thatSeptember 30, 2022, our then current Chief Executive Officer also a CPA, insistedand Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level due to changes described in Form 10-K filed on maintaining various original detail financial records at his office and not the corporate office. The lack of not receiving these original documents and related reviews, resulted in the Company uncovering a misappropriation of Company funds by the then current Chief Executive Officer.October 13, 2022.
Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls
The Company’sThere have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting is designedas defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act or in other factors that occurred during the period of our evaluation or subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation, which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting and provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).GAAP.
However, we have concluded that due to the Company’s small size and limited personnel available to perform control functions, and the weakness described above, the Company was precluded from applying adequate segregation of duties in financial transactions. The Company has taken steps to assure all original financial documents are received and maintained at the corporate office. The material weaknesses described are common to companies of our similar size and staffing in our industry. We expect these material weakness conditions to continue for the foreseeable future, or until Company growth results in additional personnel to perform segregated financial functions.
Management, including the Company’s Chairman and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, during the three months ended September 30, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company owes the sellers Can$140,000 and 10,000,000 shares of Company common stock. Based upon our subsequent scrutiny and analysis of the transaction, the Company in February 2019 initiated an arbitration proceeding against the seller to void and rescind the purchase of these British Columbia properties, including requesting additional remedies. The Company cannot predict the outcome of this arbitration, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not lose its interest in these claims, or owe seller the remaining outstanding amounts. In connection with this arbitration, the Company’s legal position is to void the transaction and, due to the uncertainty of the outcome, has provided an impairment of the amount at June 30, 2019,security agreement in the amount of $210,116.

The SEC has obtained a formal order to investigate the Company. The DOJ investigation is still preliminary. These types of investigations are expensive, time-consuming for management, and unpredictable – often resulting in
other aspects of the Company’s operations becoming subject to regulatory scrutiny. These investigations are ongoing and no prediction can be made regarding the timing or outcome of such matters including remedial action pursued against the Company and others, including its officers and directors.
In accordance with accounting standards regarding loss contingencies, the Company accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and the Company discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for its financial statements not to be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote.court.
We are subject from time to time to litigation, claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. Other than the above-described litigation, as of September 30, 2019, we were not a party to any material litigation, claim or suit whose outcome could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because litigation outcomes are inherently unpredictable, the Company’s evaluation of legal proceedings often involves a series of complex assessments by management about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. If the assessments indicate that loss contingencies that could be material to any one of its financial statements are not probable, but are reasonably possible, or are probable, but cannot be estimated, then the Company discloses the nature of the loss contingencies, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss or a statement that such loss is not reasonably estimable. While the consequences of certain unresolved proceedings are not presently determinable, and an estimate of the probable and reasonably possible loss or range of loss in excess of amounts accrued for such proceedings cannot be reasonably made, an adverse outcome from such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on its financial statements in any given reporting period. However, in the opinion of Management, after consulting with legal counsel, the ultimate liability related to the current outstanding litigation is not expected to have a material adverse effect on its financial statements.
