MAGELLAN GOLD CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Continuance of Operations

Organization and Nature of Operations

Magellan Gold Corporation (“we” “our”, “us”, the “Company” or “Magellan”) was incorporated on September 28, 2010, under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether the properties to which we have mining rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

On September 30, 2014, we formed and organized a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Gulf+Western Industries, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Gulf+Western” or “G+W”), to own and operate our Silver District mining interests.  On October 1, 2014 we completed the transfer of those assets from Magellan to G+W.  Effective December 31, 2014 Magellan pledged all its ownership interest in G+W to Mr. John D. Gibbs, a significant shareholder in the Company, as security for outstanding amounts under a line of credit agreement between Magellan and Mr. Gibbs.

On June 1, 2015, we transferred 15% of our ownership interest in G+W to Dr. W. Pierce Carson (Dr. Carson), in exchange for one year of service as President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of G+W.  As a result of the transaction, Magellan’s ownership interest in G+W was reduced to 85%.  The transaction was valued at $50,000 representing compensation for the one-year period from June 2015 through May 2016. On June 1, 2016 Magellan entered into a one-year employment agreement with Dr. Carson in which he assumes the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of Magellan.  As a result, Mr. John Power resigned his positions as President and Chief Executive Officer concurrent with the execution of Dr. Carson’s employment agreement. Mr. Power has retained the positions of Chief Financial Officer and Director of Magellan. Dr. Carson was appointed a Director of Magellan effective June 30, 2016.

In July 2016, the Company completed a share exchange with Dr. Carson in which Dr. Carson surrendered his 15% interest in G+W in exchange for 8,623,957 shares of Magellan Gold Corporation. As a result of this transaction, G+W became a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan Gold Corporation.

Our primary focus is to continue evaluation of our properties, and possibly to acquire additional mineral rights and conduct additional exploration, development and permitting activities. Our mineral lease payments, permitting applications and exploration and development efforts will require additional capital. We rely upon the sale of our securities as well as advances and loans from executive management and significant shareholders to fund our operations as we have not generated any revenue.

Basis of Presentation

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. While we believe that the disclosures presented herein are adequate and not misleading, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our 85% owned subsidiary, Gulf + Western Industries, Inc. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Liquidity and Going Concern

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our consolidated financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2016, we had not yet generated any revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $1,698,833 We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due.

On December 31, 2015 we amended our credit agreement with Mr. John Gibbs, a related party, to increase the borrowing limit to $1,000,000, which provides the Company an additional $67,500 available under the credit line at June 30, 2016.  As part of the 2014 amendment, we pledged our 85% equity in our subsidiary, G+W, which owns all our ownership interests in the Silver District properties as security for all amounts outstanding under the credit agreement.

In June 2016, we closed a private placement of our securities in which we sold 4,875,000 units consisting of common stock and warrants. We realized net proceeds totaling $194,325, which will be used for general working capital.

We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of additional loans from officers, directors or significant shareholders, or equity financing from the sale of our common stock.

Note 2 – Mineral Rights and Properties

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our mineral rights and properties consist of the following:

		June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Silver District Claims		$ 323,200		$ 323,200
Sacramento Mountains Project		-		-
		$ 323,200		$ 323,200

Silver District

In August 2012, we entered into an option agreement with Columbus Exploration f/k/a Columbus Silver Corporation, which granted us the right to acquire all of Columbus’ interest in its Silver District properties located in La Paz County, Arizona.  We paid Columbus an initial $63,200 on signing of the option and a further $50,000 in December 2012. We paid other patented and unpatented mining claim purchase and lease obligations in 2013 and 2014 to maintain the project claims and leases in good standing. On September 30, 2014, we paid an additional $100,000 to Columbus Exploration to acquire all of Columbus’ interest in its Silver District properties located in La Paz County, Arizona. The properties acquired from Columbus were assigned into our subsidiary Gulf+Western Industries, Inc. and our total acquisition cost capitalized was $323,200.

The Silver District property consists of 110 unpatented lode and mill site mining claims, six patented lode claims, and an Arizona State Exploration Permit, all of which are held directly or under lease agreements, totaling over 2,000 acres. Certain of the claims are subject to third party net smelter royalties and/or net profits of varying percentages.

In August 2015, we renewed the BLM lode and mill site claims with the Bureau of Land Management and in December 2015 recorded a notice of intent to hold mining claims with La Paz County, Arizona and these claims will remain in good standing through August 31, 2016. In August 2015, we made an advance minimum royalty payment of $10,000 to a third party landowner on the Red Cloud lease which includes the Red Cloud Patented claim and two BLM lode claims, and in September 2015 obtained approval to assume and expand the Arizona State Exploration Permit to approximately 334.85 acres on the Arizona State section that comprises part of our Silver District land package.

On July 9, 2015, G+W entered into two Lease and Purchase Agreements (“Agreements”) with an individual that grant the Company certain exploration and mining rights for two patented lode claims located in the Silver District, La Paz County, Arizona. The Agreements provide for scheduled variable annual advance minimum royalty payments to the lessor. In addition, the Agreements have an initial term of 20 years, and provide for the purchase of the properties for $125,000 each during the term of the lease, net of any advance royalty payments made up to the date of the purchase. The Company paid the initial advance royalty payments totaling $3,000 and advance royalty payments of $1,000 in July 2016 to maintain these agreements. Due to an uncertainty associated with the clarification of the legal title for these two patented lode claims, these payments have not been capitalized as mining rights, and therefore are included in exploration costs during the period in which the obligation was due.

Sacramento Mountains Project

The Sacramento Mountains Project is located in the northwest corner of the Sacramento Mountains approximately 10 miles WNW of Needles, California. In October 2012, Magellan staked fifty (50) unpatented lode mining claims totaling approximately 1,000 acres, in which we have a 100% unencumbered interest, on Federal Bureau of Land Management “BLM”) land, and in January 2013 filed the claims with the BLM. In August 2015, we renewed 14 of these claims with the BLM, and these claims will remain in good standing through August 31, 2016.  

A plan of operation for a limited exploration drill program was submitted and approved by the BLM in 2013.  As of the date of this report, we have not decided to proceed with a drilling program. Our permit expires in February 2017.  During 2013, we paid $8,639 to the BLM representing a deposit for potential reclamation of proposed drilling sites should we decide to carry out exploratory drilling on our Sacramento Mountains project.  The deposit is included in other non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 as deposits with BLM.

On February 12, 2016, the White House announced President Obama had designated three national monuments in southern California covering 1.8 million acres of federal lands. The Company is in the process of determining what effect this new designation may have on its Sacramento Mountains Project. As a result of this development, we plan to request the return of our deposit in the amount $8,639 and may not renew some or all of our BLM claims in August 2016 that comprise the Sacramento project.

Note 3 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy established by GAAP, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into the following levels:

Level 1— Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2— Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable and can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3— Inputs reflecting management’s best estimates and assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation of the instruments.

 

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

A summary of the activity of the derivative liability is shown below:

Balance, December 31, 2015		$ 65,940
Reclassification of derivative liability to APIC		(20,044)
Mark to market adjustments at June 30, 2016		146,534
Balance, June 30, 2016		$ 192,430

The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, deferred compensation, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, related party line of credit and notes payable approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.  

Note 4 – Line of Credit – Related Parties

Effective December 31, 2012, we entered into a line of credit arrangement with John D. Gibbs, a significant investor, to facilitate timely cash flows for the Company’s operations. The line of credit originally provided for a maximum balance of $250,000, accrued interest at 6% annually, and matured on December 31, 2014.

On December 31, 2013 we amended our credit agreement with Mr. Gibbs to increase the borrowing limit under the line of credit to $750,000.  All other terms of the credit agreement, including the interest rate and maturity date remained unchanged.

On December 31, 2014, we again amended the credit agreement to increase the borrowing limit to $900,000 and extend the maturity date to December 31, 2015.  As part of the 2014 amendment and the subsequent appointment of Dr. Pierce Carson as the President, CEO and Director of G+W effective June 1, 2015, we have pledged all of our 85% equity interest in G+W, which owns the Silver District properties, as security for all amounts outstanding under the credit agreement.

9

---

On December 31, 2015 we again amended the credit agreement to increase the borrowing limit to $1,000,000, which provides the Company an additional $112,500 available under the credit line at December 31, 2015. The amendment also extends the maturity date to December 31, 2016. The line of credit amendment does not have an accounting impact.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, draws totaling $45,000 and $75,000, respectively, were made and were primarily used to fund working capital and certain obligations due to maintain our mining rights and properties.  At June 30, 2016 a total of $932,500 was outstanding under this line of credit.  In addition, a total of $129,648 of interest has been accrued on this obligation and is included in Interest payable - related parties on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016.

Note 5 – Notes Payable – Related Parties

In August 2011, we entered into an unsecured loan from John Power, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, evidenced by a $20,000 promissory note. The promissory note bears interest at 6% per annum and is payable on demand with thirty days’ notice from the lender. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company made payments totaling $5,000 to pay down the principal balance of the note. At December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016, the Note balance was $15,000.

In January 2014, we entered into an unsecured loan from John Power, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, evidenced by a $50,000 promissory note. The promissory note bears interest at 6.75% per annum and is payable on demand with thirty days’ notice from the lender. At December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016, the Note balance was $50,000.

On June 20, 2016 the Company paid $2,500 representing accrued interest on the above promissory notes. A total of $1,407 of unpaid interest has accrued on these two promissory notes and is included in Accrued interest - related parties on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016.

Note 6 – Convertible Notes Payable

On October 1, 2014, we issued a convertible promissory note to a provider of legal services in the original principal amount of approximately $51,532. The note was issued to evidence the Company’s indebtedness for legal services previously rendered. Interest accrues quarterly on the outstanding principal and interest balance of the Note at 6% per annum. The principal plus accrued and unpaid interest is due upon five days’ written demand of the note holder. The note is unsecured.

The note principal and accrued interest is convertible at any time into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.039, which represented the closing bid price of the common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board on the date of issuance.

On April 6, 2016 the Note holder elected to convert a total of $23,400, consisting of $18,512 of principal and $4,888 of accrued interest. The conversion resulted in the issuance of 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As of June 30, 2016 the remaining note balance and accrued interest was $33,020 and $300, respectively. As a result of the conversion, a total of $20,044 of the derivative liability associated with the note as discussed below, was reclassified to additional paid in capital on the conversion date.

10

---

The note contains certain anti-dilution provisions that would reduce the conversion price should the Company issue common stock equivalents at a price less than the note conversion price. Accordingly, the conversion features of the note are considered a discount to the note.  However, since the note is payable upon demand by the note holder, the value of the discount was considered interest expense at the time of its inception. The note is evaluated quarterly, and upon any quarterly valuations in which the value of the discount changes we recognize a gain or loss due to a decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value of the derivative liability. On June 30, 2016 the fair value of the derivative liability was determined to be $192,430, resulting in a loss on change of the derivative liability of $163,724 and $146,534 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.  On June 30, 2015 the fair value of the derivative liability was determined to be $39,140, resulting in a loss on change of the derivative liability of $4,300 and $8,620 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

We estimate the fair value of this derivative at each balance sheet date until such time the note is paid or converted in full.

We estimated the fair value of the derivative at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which includes assumptions for expected dividends, expected share price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected life of the note.  Our expected volatility assumption is based on our historical weekly closing price of our stock over a period equivalent to the expected remaining life of the note.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to value the derivative note discount at June 30, 2016:

Fair value assumptions – derivative:		June 30, 2016
Risk free interest rate		0.45%
Expected term (years)		1.0
Expected volatility		90%
Expected dividends		0%

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to value the derivative note discount at December 31, 2015:

Fair value assumptions – derivative:		December 31, 2015
Risk free interest rate		0.65%
Expected term (years)		1.0
Expected volatility		155%
Expected dividends		0%

A total of $300 (net of accrued interest converted), and $4,054 of interest has accrued on the note at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, and is included in Accrued interest on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

11

---

Note 7 – Equity

In June 2016, we completed a private placement of equity securities in which we sold 4,875,000 units priced at $0.04 per unit. Each unit was comprised of one share of common stock, one Class A warrant and one Class B warrant. Each Class A warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $0.07 per share in cash, and expire December 30, 2016. Each Class B warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $0.10 per share, exercisable in either cash or pursuant to a cashless exercise. All warrants include anti-dilution rights for stock splits, stock dividends and the sale of substantially all the Company’s assets. We allocated the proceeds of the offering to additional paid-in capital based on the relative fair values of the equity instruments at the dates of the sale transactions in the following manner: common stock issued at 49%, the Class A warrants at 29%, and the Class B warrants at 22%.

The sale was concluded on June 30, 2016 and resulted in net proceeds of $194,325 which were net of $675 of direct offering costs. The funds received are to be used for general working capital.

Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies

As part of our acquisition of the Silver District properties from Columbus Exploration, we assumed the Red Cloud lease whose initial term expires in August 2026. The lease requires annual advance minimum royalty payments of $10,000 through the term of the lease due on the annual anniversary of the agreement. The lease is also subject to a 2% net production royalty to be paid to the lessor from the sale of precious metals extracted from the leased property. In order to maintain the BLM lode and mill site claims, annual payments are required before the end of August of each year, and we remain current on these payments. Payments are also due annually on two patented claims we leased in July 2015 and on our Arizona State Minerals Exploration Permit.

Note 9 – Executive Employment Agreement:

On June 1, 2016 we executed an employment agreement with Dr. Carson in which he assumed the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of Magellan Gold Corporation. The agreement also provided that Dr. Carson be appointed a Director of Magellan Gold Corporation, and effective June 30, 2016, Dr. Carson was appointed a Director of Magellan. The term of the agreement covers the period from June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2017. Prior to expiration of the initial term, Magellan and Dr. Carson may agree to extend the Term under new terms of compensation and conditions of employment, it being agreed that any such extension must be in writing signed by both parties.

During the term of the agreement, Magellan shall pay Dr. Carson a base salary in equal semi-monthly installments less required withholding and other applicable taxes. Dr. Carson’s salary shall be set at $6,667 per month during the three-month period from June 1, 2016 through August 31, 2016, and thereafter at $10,000 per month during the nine-month period from September 1, 2016 through May 31, 2017. Until such time as Magellan is properly funded, Magellan may defer and accrue salary owed.  If not properly funded before the end of the Term, Magellan may at its option issue Magellan shares as settlement of the accrued salary liability. A total of $6,667 of salary pursuant to the agreement had been accrued on this obligation and is included in accrued liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2016.

12

---

Dr. Carson shall have the right to voluntarily terminate his employment with Magellan during the term. To effect such voluntary termination, Dr. Carson shall provide Magellan at least 60 days advanced written notice of such termination. Upon termination, Dr. Carson shall be paid his base salary through the date of termination, including any amount that may have been deferred and accrued.

The agreement supersedes the previous agreement of June 1, 2015, in which the Company appointed Dr. Carson to the positions of President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of G+W.  In connection with his appointment, the Company assigned to Dr. Carson restricted shares of G+W common stock representing 15% of the total issued and outstanding shares of G+W in return for one year of his services. The Company determined the value of the transaction at $50,000, which was recorded as deferred compensation to be amortized monthly over the initial one-year term of the employment agreement. As such, we have recognized a total of $50,000 of compensation expense through June 30, 2016, including $8,333 and $20,833 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, in connection with this transaction.

Overview

We were incorporated on September 28, 2010, in Nevada. Our principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. We have not presently determined whether the properties to which we have mineral rights contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.

We have only had limited operations to date and we rely upon the sale of our securities and borrowings from significant investors to fund our operations, as we have not generated any revenue.

In August 2012, we entered into an option agreement and subsequently purchased the  “Silver District” project consisting of 85 unpatented lode mining claims, 4 patented lode claims, a Arizona State Exploration Permit of 154.66 acres and 23 unpatented mill site claims, totaling over 2,000 acres in La Paz County, Arizona.   Since our acquisition, we have increased our land position in the Silver District by staking two unpatented lode mining claims, leased two additional patented claims and have increased our Arizona State Exploration Permit to 334.85 acres.

On September 30, 2014, we formed and organized a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Gulf + Western Industries, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Gulf+Western” or “G+W”), to own our Silver District mining interests. On October 1, 2014 we completed the transfer of those assets from Magellan to G+W. At the time of the transfer, Magellan owned all the outstanding common stock of G+W. Effective December 31, 2014, Magellan pledged all its ownership interest in G+W to Mr. John D. Gibbs, a significant shareholder in the Company, as security for outstanding amounts under a line of credit agreement between Magellan and Mr. Gibbs. As of June 30, 2016, the total amount owed under the credit agreement was $1,062,148, which includes $932,500 of principal and $129,648 of accrued interest.

On June 1, 2015, we transferred 15% of our ownership interest in G+W to Dr. Pierce Carson in exchange for one year of service as President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of G+W. As a result of the transaction, Magellan’s ownership interest in G+W was reduced to 85%.  The transaction was valued at $50,000 representing deferred compensation for the one-year period June 2015, through May 2016. On June 1, 2016 Magellan entered into a one-year employment agreement with Dr. Carson in which he assumes the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of Magellan.  As a result, Mr. John Power resigned his positions as President and Chief Executive Officer concurrent with the execution of Dr. Carson’s employment agreement. Mr. Power has retained the positions of Chief Financial Officer and Director of Magellan. Dr. Carson was appointed a Director of Magellan effective June 30, 2016.

In July 2016, the Company completed a share exchange with Dr. Carson in which Dr. Carson surrendered his 15% interest in G+W in exchange for 8,623,957 shares of Magellan Gold Corporation. As a result of this transaction, G+W became a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan Gold Corporation.

Our primary focus during the next twelve months, and depending on available resources, will be to further explore our mineral properties.

Operating expenses

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, our total operating expenses were $91,572 as compared to $36,567 during the three months ended June 30, 2015.

During the three months ended June 30, 2016 we incurred $17,891 of exploration costs as compared to $2,190 in 2015.  Exploration costs for the three months ended June 30, 2016 are comprised of a contracted ground magnetic survey, laboratory soil analysis and geologist consulting fees associated with our Silver District project.  Exploration costs for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were comprised of geologist fees associated with oversight of our holdings and review of potential opportunities.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 totaling $73,681 were comprised professional fees including accounting and audit fees of $9,193, legal fees totaling $9,362, management fees to Mr. Power totaling $7,500, executive compensation expense of $15,621, other professional fees including investor relations and website fees of $28,581, and other expenses totaling $3,424 mainly comprised of travel expenses, rent, licenses and other administrative related expenses.

On June 1, 2015, we transferred 15% of our ownership interest in G+W to Dr. W. Pierce Carson in exchange for one year of service as President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of G+W. As a result of the transaction, Magellan’s ownership interest in G+W was reduced to 85%. The transaction was valued at $50,000 representing deferred compensation for the one-year period June 2015, through May 2016. Executive compensation expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 includes $8,333 and $4,167, respectively, of compensation expense representing the amortization of the deferred compensation.

On June 1, 2016 we executed an employment agreement with Dr. Carson in which Dr. Carson assumed the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of Magellan Gold Corporation. The term of the agreement covers the period from June 1, 2016 to May 31, 2017. During the term of the agreement, Dr. Carson will be paid a base salary in equal semi-monthly installments. Dr. Carson’s salary is set at $6,667 per month during the three-month period from June 1, 2016 through August 31, 2016, and thereafter at $10,000 per month during the nine-month period from September 1, 2016 through May 31, 2017. A total of $7,288 representing Dr. Carson’s base salary and applicable payroll taxes was expensed and is included in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 totaling $34,377 were comprised of professional fees including accounting and audit fees of $7,415, legal fees totaling $7,605, executive compensation expense of $4,167, management fees to Mr. Power totaling $7,500, other professional fees of $2,296, and other expenses totaling $5,394 mainly comprised of travel expenses, transfer fees paid to the BLM, licenses and other administrative related expenses.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 totaled $15,283 and $13,587, respectively, and is primarily attributable to our related party line of credit, which accrues interest at the rate of 6.0% per year, and our related party notes payable which accrue interest at a weighted average interest rate of 6.58%.

In addition, in October 2014 we converted certain amounts payable to a legal services provider into a Convertible Note Payable. Interest accrues quarterly on the outstanding principal and interest balances of the Note at 6% per annum.

---

The Note contains certain anti-dilution provisions that would reduce the conversion price should the Company issue common stock equivalents at a price less than the Note conversion price.  Accordingly, the conversion features of the Note are considered a discount to the Note.  The Note is evaluated quarterly, and upon any quarterly valuations in which the value of the discount changes, we recognize a gain or loss due to a decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value of the derivative liability. As a result of this evaluation, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we recorded a loss on the change in the derivative liability of $163,724 and $4,300, respectively.

We estimated the fair value of the derivative at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which includes assumptions for expected dividends, expected share price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected life of the Note.  Our expected volatility assumption is based on our historical weekly closing price of our stock over a period equivalent to the expected remaining life of the Note.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to value the derivative Note discount at June 30, 2016:

Fair value assumptions – derivative:		June 30, 2016
Risk free interest rate		0.45%
Expected term (years)		1.0
Expected volatility		90%
Expected dividends		0%

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to value the derivative Note discount at December 31, 2015:

Fair value assumptions – derivative:		Decembe 31, 2015
Risk free interest rate		0.65%
Expected term (years)		1.0
Expected volatility		155%
Expected dividends		0%

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to meet our obligations and continue our operations during the next fiscal year. Asset realization values may be significantly different from carrying values as shown in our consolidated financial statements and do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values of assets and liabilities should we be unable to continue as a going concern. At June 30, 2016, we had not yet generated any revenues or achieved profitable operations and we have accumulated losses of $1,698,833 We expect to incur further losses in the development of our business, all of which casts substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate future profits and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations arising from normal business operations when they come due.

We intend to meet our cash requirements for the next 12 months primarily through the utilization of our line of credit, as well as the private placement of debt or equity instruments.

We maintain a line of credit arrangement with John D. Gibbs, a significant investor, to facilitate timely cash flows for the Company’s operations. This agreement was initiated in 2012 and has been amended at various times since its inception to increase the amount available under the credit line. In 2014, we amended the agreement to include a pledge of all our equity interests in G+W, which owns the Silver District properties, as security for all amounts outstanding under the credit agreement. As of June 30, 2016 the credit line had a borrowing limit of $1,000,000 and accrues interest at 6% per annum. At June 30, 2016 a total of $932,500 was outstanding under this line of credit. In addition, a total of $129,648 of interest has been accrued on this obligation

In June 2016, we closed a private placement of our securities in which we sold 4,875,000 units consisting of common stock and warrants. We realized net proceeds totaling $194,325, which will be used for general working capital.

Our primary priority is to retain our reporting status with the SEC, which means that we will first ensure that we have sufficient capital to cover our legal and accounting expenses. Once these costs are accounted for, in accordance with how much financing we are able to secure, we will focus on further exploration and development of our mineral properties. We will likely not expend funds on the remainder of our planned activities unless we have the required capital.

Cash Flows

A summary of our cash provided by and used in operating, investing and financing activities is as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016		2015
Net cash used in operating activities	$ (136,569)		$ (69,998)
Net cash used in investing activities	(12,000)		-
Net cash provided by financing activities	239,325		72,150
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	90,756		2,152
Cash and cash equivalents beginning of period	867		94
Cash and cash equivalents end of period	$ 91,623		$ 2,246

At June 30, 2016, we had $91,623 in cash and a $1,292,345 working capital deficit. This compares to cash of $867 and a working capital deficit of $1,193,037 at December 31, 2015.

Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $136,569 and was mainly comprised of our $(337,077) net loss during the period, adjusted by a non-cash charge of $20,833 representing the amortization of deferred compensation, and the loss on an increase in our derivative liability of $146,534.  In addition, it reflects an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets totaling $3,191, as well as increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses totaling $8,129, and increases in accrued interest totaling $28,203 representing accrued interest on our related party line of credit and related party and other notes payable.

Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $69,998 and was mainly comprised of our $(112,045) net loss during the period, which was partially offset with the increase in our derivative liability and the amortization of deferred compensation, of $8,620 and $4,167, respectively.  We also had increases in prepaid expenses of $3,750 as well as increases in accounts payable totaling $11,263, as well as increases in accrued interest totaling $21,747 representing accrued interest on our related party line of credit and notes payable.

On June 30, 2016 the Company signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Rio Silver Inc., pursuant to which Magellan is granted the option to earn an undivided 50% interest in the Niñobamba Silver-Gold Property, located in Peru. The parties intend to replace the LOI with a definitive agreement containing industry standard terms following a 45-day due diligence period. As part of the agreement, the Company paid a refundable $12,000 deposit. This payment was recorded as a deposit and represents an investment activity during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

We engaged in no investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, net cash provided by financing activities was $239,325, and included $45,000 of additional borrowings under our credit agreement with Mr. Gibbs. In addition, we received $12,650 in advances from Mr. Power, all of which were repaid during the period.

Also, in June 2016, we completed a private placement of equity securities in which we sold 4,875,000 units priced at $0.04 per unit. Each unit was comprised of one share of common stock, one Class A warrant and one Class B warrant. Each Class A warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $0.07 per share in cash, and expire December 30, 2016. Each Class B warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $0.10 per share, exercisable in either cash or pursuant to a cashless exercise. The sale was concluded on June 30, 2016 and resulted in net proceeds of $194,325 which were net of $675 of direct offering costs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities was $72,150, which primarily reflects additional borrowings totaling $75,000 under our credit agreement with Mr. Gibbs.  In addition, we received $2,125 in advances from Mr. Power and repaid a total of $4,975 representing the payoff of all outstanding advances.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have and have never had any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

Recently issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification guidance has either been implemented or is not significant to us.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements. The accounting positions described below are significantly affected by critical accounting estimates.

We believe that the significant estimates, assumptions and judgments used when accounting for items and matters such as capitalized mineral rights, asset valuations, recoverability of assets, asset impairments, taxes, and other provisions were reasonable, based upon information available at the time they were made. Actual results could differ from these estimates, making it possible that a change in these estimates could occur in the near term.

24

---

Mineral Rights

We have determined that our mining rights meet the definition of mineral rights, as defined by accounting standards, and are tangible assets. As a result, our direct costs to acquire or lease mineral rights are initially capitalized as tangible assets. Mineral rights include costs associated with: leasing or acquiring patented and unpatented mining claims; leasing mining rights including lease signature bonuses, lease rental payments and advance minimum royalty payments; and options to purchase or lease mineral properties.

If we establish proven and probable reserves for a mineral property and establish that the mineral property can be economically developed, mineral rights will be amortized over the estimated useful life of the property following the commencement of commercial production or expensed if it is determined that the mineral property has no future economic value or if the property is sold or abandoned. For mineral rights in which proven and probable reserves have not yet been established, we assess the carrying values for impairment at the end of each reporting period and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The net carrying value of our mineral rights represents the fair value at the time the mineral rights were acquired less accumulated depletion and any impairment losses. Proven and probable reserves have not been established for mineral rights as of June 30, 2016. No impairment loss was recognized during either the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that our carrying amounts of long-lived assets, including mineral rights, may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, we assess the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through their undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets.

Exploration Costs    

Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that it is economically feasible to extract minerals and the permitting process has been initiated, exploration costs incurred to further delineate and develop the property are considered pre-commercial production costs and will be capitalized and included as mine development costs in our consolidated balance sheets.

Share-based Payments

 

We measure and recognize compensation expense or professional services expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and non-employee consultants based on estimated fair values. We estimate the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which includes assumptions for expected dividends, expected share price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected life of the options. Our expected volatility assumption is based on our historical weekly closing price of our stock over a period equivalent to the expected life of the options.

25

---

We expense share-based compensation, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line method over the vesting term of the award for our employees and directors and over the expected service term for our non-employee consultants. We estimate forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from our estimates. Our excess tax benefits, if any, cannot be credited to stockholders’ equity until the deduction reduces cash taxes payable; accordingly, we realized no excess tax benefits during any of the periods presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes through the use of the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and for income tax carry-forwards. A valuation allowance is recorded to the extent that we cannot conclude that realization of deferred tax assets is more likely than not. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

We follow a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step is to determine if, based on the technical merits, it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. We recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in our provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. To date, we have not recognized any tax benefits from uncertain tax positions.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including John C. Power, our President who is also our Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our CEO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of such date as a result of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting due to lack of segregation of duties and a limited corporate governance structure as discussed in Item 9A of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

While we strive to segregate duties as much as practicable, there is an insufficient volume of transactions at this point in time to justify additional full time staff. We believe that this is typical in many exploration stage companies. We may not be able to fully remediate the material weakness until we commence mining operations at which time we would expect to hire more staff. We will continue to monitor and assess the costs and benefits of additional staffing.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
