Lithium Corporation
Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements
September 30, 2015 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Lithium Corporation (formerly Utalk Communications Inc.) (the "Company") was
incorporated on January 30, 2007 under the laws of Nevada. On September 30,
2009, Utalk Communications Inc. changed its name to Lithium Corporation.
Nevada Lithium Corporation was incorporated on March 16, 2009 under the laws of
Nevada under the name Lithium Corporation. On September 10, 2009, the Company
amended its articles of incorporation to change its name to Nevada Lithium
Corporation. By agreement dated October 9, 2009 Nevada Lithium Corporation and
Lithium Corporation amalgamated as Lithium Corporation. Lithium Corporation is
engaged in the acquisition and development of certain lithium interests in the
state of Nevada, and flake graphite prospects in British Columbia and is
currently in the exploration stage.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP" accounting). The
Company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash includes cash on account, demand deposits, and short-term instruments with
maturities of three months or less.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which
at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors
its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in
such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit
risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has yet to realize revenues from operations. Once the Company has
commenced operations, it will recognize revenues when delivery of goods or
completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an
agreement, acceptance has been approved by its customers, the fee is fixed or
determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and
collection of any related receivable is probable.
Loss per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion,
exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion,
exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. The
dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per
share by application of the "if converted" method. In the periods in which a
loss is incurred, the effect of potential issuances of shares under options and
warrants would be anti-dilutive, and therefore basic and diluted losses per
share are the same.
Income Taxes
The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by
recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax
basis of assets and liabilities.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, deposits, prepaid expenses,
and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is
management's opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest,
currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Because of
the short maturity and capacity of prompt liquidation of such assets and
liabilities, the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their
carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
Mineral Properties
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties
are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized
including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has taken steps to
verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures
do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior
agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when
indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated
to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount.
Impairment of $0 and $0 was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2014
and 2013, respectively.
Office Lease
The Company rents office space in Elko, Nevada for $350 per month. The
arrangement is on a month-by-month basis and can be terminated by either party.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On June 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
update ASU 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915). Amongst other
things, the amendments in this update removed the definition of development
stage entity from Topic 915, thereby removing the distinction between
development stage entities and other reporting entities from US GAAP. In
addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage
entities to (1) present inception-to-date information on the statements of
income, cash flows and shareholders equity, (2) label the financial statements
as those of a development stage entity; (3) disclose a description of the
development stage activities in which the entity is engaged and (4) disclose in
the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that
in prior years it had been in the development stage. The amendments are
effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2014 and
interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, however entities
are permitted to early adopt for any annual or interim reporting period for
which the financial statements have yet to be issued. The Company has elected to
early adopt these amendments and accordingly have not labeled the financial
statements as those of a development stage entity and have not presented
inception-to-date information on the respective financial statements.
NOTE 2 - CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without
audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial positions,
results of operations, and cash flows on September 30, 2015, and for all periods
presented herein, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested
that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31,
2014 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the nine months
ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results
for the full year.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT
Effective April 23, 2014, the Company entered into an operating agreement with
All American Resources, L.L.C and TY & Sons Investments Inc. with respect to
Summa, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company incorporated on December 12,
2013, wherein we hold a 25% membership. The Company's capital contribution to
Summa, LLC was $125,000, of which $100,000 was in cash and the balance in
services.
The Company participated in the formation of Summa, which holds 88 fee-title
patented lode claims, which cover approximately 1,191.3 acres of prospective
mineral lands. The Company has recently signed a joint operating agreement with
the other participants to govern the conduct of Summa, and the development of
the lands. The Company's Director and former President, Tom Lewis, has been
named as a managing member of Summa.
The investment has been accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As
such, the Company shall record its proportionate share of income or loss in the
investment. As of September 30, 2015, the Company has recorded a loss on
investment of $17,868.
NOTE 5 - MINERAL PROPERTIES
Fish Lake Property
The Company purchased a 100% interest in the Fish Lake property by making staged
payments of $350,000 worth of common stock. Title to the pertinent claims was
transferred to the Company through quit claim deed dated June 1, 2011, and this
quit claim was recorded at the county level on August 3, 2011 and at the BLM on

NOTE 5 - MINERAL PROPERTIES (CONTINUED)
As at September 30, 2015, the Company has recorded $436,764 in acquisition costs
related to the Fish Lake Property and associated impairment of $276,908 related
to abandonment of claims. The carrying value of the Fish Lake Property was
$159,856 as of September 30, 2015.
Mt. Heimdal Property
The Company entered into an agreement in April 2013, as amended in August 2013,
whereby it earned a 100% interest in the Mt. Heimdal Flake Graphite property in
BC, subject to a 1.5% net overriding royalty. The carrying value of the Mt.
Heimdal property is $300 as of September 30, 2015.
BC Sugar Property
In June 2013, the company purchased claims in the Cherryville, BC area for
250,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Since this time the company has
expanded the claim block considerably, and has expended approximately $45,000 to
date exploring this property for flake graphite deposits. In January, 2014, the
company agreed to buy back the shares issued pursuant to the June agreement for
$2,500. The buy-back was completed in April, 2014 and recorded the purchase of
stock in the Company's equity.
Staked Properties
The Company has staked claims with various registries as summarized below:
Name Claims Cost Impairment Value
---- ------ ---- ---------- -----
SanEmidio 20 (1,600 acres) $11,438 $(5,719) $ 5,719
Cherryville/BC Sugar 8019.41 (hectares) $21,778 Nil $21,778
The Company performs an impairment test on an annual basis to determine whether
a write-down is necessary with respect to the properties. The Company believes
no circumstances have occurred and no evidence has been uncovered that warrant a
write-down of the mineral properties other than those abandoned by management
and thus included in write-down of mineral properties. No impairment charges
were recorded during the period ended September 30, 2015.
NOTE 6 - CAPITAL STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of it $0.001 par value
common stock. On September 30, 2009, the Company effected a 60-for-1 forward
stock split of its $0.001 par value common stock.
All share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to reflect the
splits discussed above.
Common Stock
On June 6, 2013, the Company issued 250,000 shares of its common stock as part
of the Cherryville property acquisition located in British Columbia.
On January 17, 2014 the Company repurchased the 250,000 shares of its common
stock issued as part of the Cherryville property acquisition for $2,500. The
shares were returned to the treasury and retired in April 2014.

Stock Based Compensation
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company granted 500,000 consultants
options at an exercise price of $0.28 and 400,000 options at an exercise price
of $0.24 to consultants in exchange for various professional services. On May
31, 2012, the options granted with exercise prices of $0.28 and $0.24were
modified to exercise prices at $0.07. The modification resulted in stock based
compensation of $11,524. Also on May 31, 2012, the Company granted an additional
400,000 options to consultants for management services with an exercise price of
$0.07. These options were vested on the date of grant and resulted in
stock-based compensation of $23,891.On September 30, 2014, 250,000 options
expired unexercised as a result of a director resigning from the Company.
On March 15, 2013, all pre-existing options were modified to exercise prices of
$0.045. The modification resulted in stock-based compensation of $8,848. Also on
March 15, 2013, the Company issued an additional 200,000 options at an exercise
price of $0.045 to consultants for management services. These options were
vested on the date of grant and resulted in stock-based compensation of $7,794.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value stock
options. The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair
value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. The model requires management to make estimates, which are
subjective and may not be representative of actual results. Assumptions used to
determine the fair value of the remaining stock options are as follows:
Modification New Options
------------ -----------
Risk free interest rate 0.35% 0.67%
Expected dividend yield 0% 0%
Expected stock price volatility 129% 129%
Expected life of options 3 years 5 years
On November 12, 2014, the Company granted 700,000 options at an exercise price
of $0.045 in exchange for various professional and managerial services. The fair
value of these options was $38,723. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option
valuation model to value stock options. The Black-Scholes model was developed
for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting
restrictions and are fully transferable. The model requires management to make
estimates, which are subjective and may not be representative of actual results.
Assumptions used to determine the fair value of the remaining stock options are
as follows:

GENERAL OVERVIEW
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 30, 2007
under the name "Utalk Communications Inc.". At inception, we were a development
stage corporation engaged in the business of developing and marketing a
call-back service using a call-back platform. Because we were not successful in
implementing our business plan, we considered various alternatives to ensure the
viability and solvency of our company.
On August 31, 2009, we entered into a letter of intent with Nevada Lithium
Corporation regarding a business combination which could be effected in one of
several different ways, including an asset acquisition, merger of our company
and Nevada Lithium, or a share exchange whereby we would purchase the shares of
Nevada Lithium from its shareholders in exchange for restricted shares of our
common stock.
Effective September 30, 2009, we effected a 1 old for 60 new forward stock split
of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital
increased from 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to
3,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and our then
issued and outstanding shares increased from 4,470,000 shares of common stock to
268,200,000 shares of common stock.
Also effective September 30, 2009, we changed our name from "Utalk
Communications, Inc." to "Lithium Corporation", by way of a merger with our
wholly owned subsidiary Lithium Corporation, which was formed solely for the
change of name. The name change and forward stock split became effective with
14
the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on October 1,
2009 under the stock symbol "LTUM". Our CUSIP number is 536804 107.
On October 9, 2009, we entered into a share exchange agreement with Nevada
Lithium and the shareholders of Nevada Lithium. The closing of the transactions
contemplated in the share exchange agreement and the acquisition of all of the
issued and outstanding common stock in the capital of Nevada Lithium occurred on
October 19, 2009. In accordance with the closing of the share exchange
agreement, we issued 12,350,000 shares of our common stock to the former
shareholders of Nevada Lithium in exchange for the acquisition, by our company,
of all of the 12,350,000 issued and outstanding shares of Nevada Lithium. Also,
pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, a director of our company
cancelled 220,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock. Nevada Lithium's
corporate status was allowed to lapse and the company's status with the Nevada
Secretary of State has been revoked.
OUR CURRENT BUSINESS
We are an exploration stage mining company engaged in the identification,
acquisition, and exploration of metals and minerals with a focus on lithium
mineralization on properties located in Nevada, and graphite properties in
British Columbia.
Our current operational focus is to conduct exploration activities on the Fish
Lake Valley property and San Emidio prospects in Nevada and the BC Sugar
property in British Columbia.
We are currently evaluating the opportunities that the Summa lands present (the
Hughes Claims), while also exploring other locations which are believed to be
prospective for hosting lithium or graphite mineralization, as well as
evaluating opportunities brought to our company by third parties.
Effective April 23, 2014, we entered into an operating agreement with All
American Resources, L.L.C and TY & Sons Investments Inc. with respect to Summa,
LLC, a Nevada limited liability company incorporated on December 12, 2013,
wherein we hold a 25% membership. Our company's capital contribution to Summa,
LLC was $125,000, of which $100,000 was in cash and the balance in services.
During the Quarter ended September 30, 2015, our company contributed an
additional $5,000 to Summa, LLC.
Effective August 15, 2014, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with
Pathion, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Pathion Mining Inc., a Nevada
corporation. Pursuant to the Agreement, we agreed to sell to Pathion, Inc. and
Pathion Mining, our rights, interests and assets relating to our Fish Lake
Valley, San Emidio and BC Sugar properties. The asset purchase agreement was set
to close at the end of September 2014, but was extended to October 17, 2014 by
mutual agreement, and was further extended until January 19, 2015. After Pathion
failed to close the agreement within the agreed upon extended timeframe, we gave
notice on January 27, 2015 of the termination of the asset purchase agreement
entered into on August 15, 2014.
On February 20, 2015, our company signed a letter of intent with Kingsmere
Mining Ltd., which is the preliminary step whereby Kingsmere, or their
appointee, may choose to buy or option our company's lithium brine properties in
Nevada. The letter allows for a due diligence and election period until April 1,
2015 with closing by April 15, 2015. The terms of the letter of intent with
Kingsmere were subsequently extended to May 31, 2015. Our company and Kingsmere
were not able to reach an agreement and a press release notifying the public was
issued on June 23, 2015.
Our company intends to continue the exploration/assessment of the Fish Lake
Valley and San Emidio lithium brine properties in Nevada and on our BC Sugar
flake graphite property in British Columbia, while determining further plans of
action with respect to our Mount Heimdal flake graphite property in British
Columbia. We will continue assessing our options with respect to our 25%
interest in Summa, LLC, a private Nevada company, which holds the residue of the
"Howard Hughes" Summa Corp., while generating new prospects and evaluating
property submittals for option or purchase.

FISH LAKE VALLEY PROPERTY
Fish Lake Valley is a lithium enriched playa (also known as a salar, or salt
pan), which is located in northern Esmeralda County in west central Nevada, and
the property is roughly centered at 417050E 4195350N (NAD 27 CONUS). We
currently hold forty, 80-acre Association Placer claims that cover approximately
3,200 acres (1280 hectares). Lithium-enriched Tertiary-era Fish Lake formation
rhyolitic tuffs or ash flow tuffs have accumulated in a valley or basinal
environment. Over time interstitial formational waters in contact with these
tuffs, have become enriched in lithium, boron and potassium which could possibly
be amenable to extraction by evaporative methods. Our company allowed 56 claims
to lapse on September 1, 2012, which covered the southern playa area. These
claims were allowed to lapse as it was determined through the course of work
over the past three years that they are not overly prospective for hosting
lithium brine resources, nor is it strategically advantageous to continue to
hold them.
The property was originally held under mining lease purchase agreement dated
June 1, 2009, between Nevada Lithium Corporation, and Nevada Alaska Mining Co.
Inc., Robert Craig, Barbara Craig, and Elizabeth Dickman. Nevada Lithium issued
to the vendors $350,000 worth of common stock of our company in eight regular
disbursements. All disbursements were made of stock worth a total of $350,000,
and claim ownership was transferred to our company.
The geological setting at Fish Lake Valley is highly analogous to the salars of
Chile, Bolivia, and Peru, and more importantly Clayton Valley, where Albemarle
has its Silver Peak lithium-brine operation. Access is excellent in Fish Lake
Valley with all-weather gravel roads leading to the property from state highways
264, and 265, and maintained gravel roads ring the playa. Power is available
approximately 10 miles from the property, and the village of Dyer is
approximately 12 miles to the south, while the town of Tonopah, Nevada is
approximately 50 miles to the east.
Our company completed a number of geochemical and geophysical studies on the
property, and conducted a short drill program on the periphery of the playa in
the fall of 2010. Near-surface brine sampling during the spring of 2011 outlined
a boron/lithium/potassium anomaly on the northern portions of the northern
playa, that is roughly 1.3 x 2 miles long, which has a smaller higher grade core
where lithium mineralization ranges from 100 to 150 mg/L (average 122.5 mg/L),
with boron ranging from 1,500 to 2,670 mg/L (average 2,219 mg/L), and potassium
from 5,400 to 8,400 mg/L (average 7,030 mg/L). Wet conditions on the playa
precluded drilling there in 2011, and for a good portion of 2012, however a
window of opportunity presented itself in late fall 2012. In November/December
2012 we conducted a short direct push drill program on the northern end of the
playa, wherein a total of 1,240.58 feet (378.09 meters) was drilled in 20 holes
at 17 discrete sites, and an area of 3,356 feet (1,023 meters) by 2,776 feet
(846 meters) was systematically explored by grid probing. The deepest hole was
81 feet (24.69 meters), and the shallowest hole that produced brine was 34 feet
(10.36 meters). The average depth of the holes drilled during the program was 62
feet (18.90 meters). The program successfully demonstrated that
lithium-boron-potassium-enriched brines exist to at least 62 feet (18.9 meters)
depth in sandy or silty aquifers that vary from approximately three to ten feet
(one to three meters) in thickness. Average lithium, boron and potassium
contents of all samples are 47.05 mg/L, 992.7 mg/L, and 0.535% respectively,
with lithium values ranging from 7.6 mg/L to 151.3 mg/L, boron ranging from 146
to 2,160.7 mg/L, and potassium ranging from 0.1 to 1.3%. The anomaly outlined by
the program is 1,476 by 2,461 feet (450 meters by 750 meters), and is not fully
delimited, as the area available for probing was restricted due to soft ground
conditions to the east and to the south. A 50 mg/L lithium cutoff is used to
define this anomaly and within this zone average lithium, boron and potassium
contents are 90.97 mg/L, 1,532.92 mg/L, and 0.88% respectively. On September 3,
2013, we announced that drilling had commenced at Fish Lake Valley. Due to
storms and wet conditions in the area which our company hoped to concentrate on,
the playa was not passable, and so the program concentrated on larger step-out
drilling well off the playa. This 11 hole, 1,025 foot program did prove that
mineralization does not extend much, if at all, past the margins of the playa,
as none of the fluids encountered in this program were particularly briny, and
returned values of less than 5 mg/L lithium.
Our company is very pleased with the results here, and believes that the playa
at Fish Lake Valley may be conducive to the formation of a "silver peak" style
lithium brine deposit. Our company reviewed the results in regards to the
overall geological interpretation of the lithium, boron and potassium bearing
strata. The results confirm the presence of targeted mineralization and further
evaluation programs will focus on determining the extent and depth of
mineralization. Our company is currently assessing options on how best to
further explore here.
16
SAN EMIDIO PROPERTY
The San Emidio property, located in Washoe County in northwestern Nevada, was
acquired through the staking of claims in September 2011. The twenty, 80-acre,
Association Placer claims currently held here cover an area of approximately
1,600 acres (640 hectares). Ten claims in the southern portions of the original
claim block that was staked in 2011 were allowed to lapse on September 1, 2012,
and a further ten claims were then staked and recorded. These new claims are
north of and contiguous to the surviving claims from our earlier block. The
property is approximately 65 miles north-northeast of Reno, Nevada, and has
excellent infrastructure.
We developed this prospect during 2009, and 2010 through surface sampling, and
the early reconnaissance sampling determined that anomalous values for lithium
occur in the playa sediments over a good portion of the playa. This sampling
appeared to indicate that the most prospective areas on the playa may be on the
newly staked block proximal to the southern margin of the basin, where it is
possible the structures that are responsible for the geothermal system here may
also have influenced lithium deposition in sediments.
Our company conducted near-surface brine sampling in the spring of 2011, and a
high resolution gravity geophysical survey in summer/fall 2011. Our company then
permitted a 7 hole drilling program with the Bureau of Land Management in late
fall 2011, and a direct push drill program was commenced in early February 2012.
Drilling here delineated a narrow elongated shallow brine reservoir which is
greater than 2.5 miles length, and which is adjacent to a basinal feature
outlined by the earlier gravity survey. Two values of over 20 milligrams/liter
lithium were obtained from two holes located centrally in this brine anomaly.
Most recently we drilled this prospect in late October 2012, further testing the
area of the property in the vicinity where prior exploration by our company
discovered elevated lithium levels in subsurface brines. During the 2012 program
a total of 856 feet (260.89 meters) was drilled at 8 discrete sites. The deepest
hole was 160 feet (48.76 meters), and the shallowest hole that produced brine
was 90 feet (27.43 meters). The average depth of the seven hole program was 107
feet (32.61 meters). The program better defined a lithium-in-brine anomaly that
was discovered in early 2012. This anomaly is approximately 0.6 miles (370
meters) wide at its widest point by more than 2 miles (3 kilometers) long. The
peak value seen within the anomaly is 23.7 mg/l lithium, which is 10 to 20 times
background levels outside the anomaly. Our company believes that, much like Fish
Lake Valley, the playa at San Emidio may be conducive to the formation of a
"Silver Peak" style lithium brine deposit, and the recent drilling indicates
that the anomaly occurs at or near the intersection of several faults that may
have provided the structural setting necessary for the formation of a
lithium-in-brine deposit at depth.
Our company has compiled all data and amended our permit with the Bureau of Land
Management to allow for the drilling of three reverse circulation drill holes to
depths of 500 feet in order to test for lithium brine mineralization.
MOUNT HEIMDAL FLAKE GRAPHITE PROPERTY
On April 15, 2013, we entered into a mining option agreement with, Tom Lewis, a
director and former officer of our company, wherein we had the option to acquire
a 100% interest in the Mount Heimdal Flake Graphite property in the Slocan
Mining Division of British Columbia, Canada.
The Mount Heimdal property is comprised of three mineral claims, which encompass
2,582 acres (1,045 hectares) of highly metamorphosed rock. The property is
roughly six miles (10 kms) south of Eagle Graphite's Black Crystal quarry, and
is located within the same package of gneisses, graphite mineralized marbles,
and calc-silicate gneisses. Data from BC Geological Survey assessment reports
indicate that mineralization grading up to 4.8% graphitic carbon may be located
on the property.
High purity graphite is presently the most widely used anode material for
lithium ion battery technology, and typically greater than 10 times more
graphite is used in comparison to lithium in lithium ion battery production. In
addition to increased graphite consumption due to growth in lithium ion
batteries sales, carbon fiber composites are increasingly being utilized in
auto, and aircraft construction. Also, presently there is considerable research
into graphene, a flake graphite product, and it is possible a myriad of new
applications or discoveries will ensue as a direct result of this work.
17
Pursuant to the terms of the original agreement, we were required to spend
$15,000 in exploration on the property and complete an assessment report by
November 30, 2013, and upon successful completion of the program and the report,
our company was to earn a 100% interest in the claims, subject to a 1.5% net
overriding royalty to the vendor from the proceeds of production.
Prospecting work was performed on the Mount Heimdal property in June/July 2013
and several mineralized zones were noted here, the best of which graded 3.72%
flake graphite. Although the work was encouraging it was decided that our
company would be best served presently by focusing on the BC Sugar property. Our
company negotiated an agreement with Tom Lewis, a director and former officer of
our company, with Tom Lewis as the vendor of Mount Heimdal, whereby Mr. Lewis
assigned his 100% interest in the property for a 2% net smelter royalty on any
proceeds from future production from the property. In addition Mr. Lewis holds
title to both the Mount Heimdal, and BC Sugar properties, in trust, for our
company and will transfer all interest at such time as our company creates a
subsidiary that is eligible to hold title in mineral properties in British
Columbia.
In August 2014, an exploration crew was mobilized to explore the Mount Heimdal
flake graphite property. The program focused on flake graphite mineralization
discovered on the property during the brief program undertaken in 2013, while
exploring other areas of the property that were felt to also be prospective for
hosting flake graphite mineralization. No further significant mineralization was
found, and our company is considering options for this property moving forward.
BC SUGAR FLAKE GRAPHITE PROPERTY
On June 6, 2013, we entered into a mining claim sale agreement with Herb Hyder
wherein Mr. Hyder agreed to sell to our company a 50.829 acre (20.57 hectare)
claim located in the Cherryville area of British Columbia. As consideration for
the purchase of the property, we issued 250,000 shares of our company's common
stock to Mr. Hyder. In addition to the acquired claim, our company staked or
acquired another 13 claims at various times over the subsequent months, to bring
the total area held under tenure to approximately 19,816 acres (8,020 hectares).
The flake graphite mineralization of interest here is hosted predominately in
graphitic quartz/biotite, and lesser graphitic calc-silicate gneisses. The rocks
in the general area of the BC Sugar prospect are similar to the host rocks in
the area of the crystal graphite deposit 55 miles (90 kms) to the southeast, in
the vicinity of our company's Mount Heimdal block of claims.
The BC Sugar property is well placed in the Shushwap Metamorphic Complex, in a
geological environment favorable for the formation of flake graphite deposits,
and is in an area of excellent logistics, with a considerable network of logging
roads within the project area. Additionally the town of Lumby is approximately
19 miles (30 kms) to the south of the property, while the City of Vernon is only
30 miles (50 kms) to the southwest of the western portions of the claim block.
We received final assays from the October 2013 prospecting and geological
program at the BC Sugar property in December of 2013. That work increased the
area known to be underlain by graphitic bearing gneisses, and further
evaluations were made in the area of the Sugar Lake, Weather Station, and Taylor
Creek showings. In the general vicinity of the Weather Station showing, a
further 13 samples were taken, and hand trenching was performed at one of
several outcrops in the area. In the trench a 5.2 meter interval returned an
average of 3.14% graphitic carbon, all in an oxidized relatively friable
gneissic host rock. Additionally a hydrothermal or vein type mineralized
graphitic quartz boulder was discovered in the area which graded up to 4.19%
graphitic carbon. The source of this boulder was not discovered during this
program, but it is felt to be close to its point of origin. Samples
representative of the mineralization encountered here were taken for
petrographic study, which was received in late 2013. A brief assessment work
program was performed in September 2014 to ensure all claims in the package were
in good standing prior to the anticipated sale of this asset to Pathion.
Recommendations were made by the consulting geologist who wrote the assessment
report with respect to trenching, and eventually drilling the Weather Station
showing. Our company submitted a Notice of Work to the BC Government in early
May 2015 to enable our company to conduct a program of excavator trenching,
sampling and geological mapping on the Weather Station showing. In May of 2015
we signed an agreement with KLM Geosciences LLC of Las Vegas to conduct a short
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey on the property in the Weather Station -
Taylor Creek areas. The GPR survey as well as a GEM-2 electromagnetic (EM)
survey took place in approximately mid-May 2015. The GPR survey did not provide
useful data because of the moisture saturation in the shallow subsurface. The EM
survey successfully generated an anomaly over known mineralization as well as
extended the anomaly to the west under an area of cover consisting of
glacial/fluvial till. Lithium Corporation is pleased with the results of the EM
18
survey and is considering modifying our work plans to include additional work
that builds on the results of this survey. In August of 2015 our Notice of Work
for trenching was approved by the BC Government and in October we commenced
work. A trench of 265.76 feet (81 meters) was excavated and graphitic gneiss was
mapped and sampled. The company is currently waiting for the assay results of
the sampling to confirm the grade and length of the graphite mineralization
intersected. Our company judges these results as a technical success and at this
time further exploration is justified. We plan to use the results of the trench
sampling to plan the future work plans.
THE HUGHES CLAIMS
Effective April 23, 2014, we entered into an operating agreement with All
American Resources, L.L.C and TY & Sons Investments Inc. with respect to Summa,
LLC, a Nevada limited liability company incorporated on December 12, 2013,
wherein we hold a 25% membership in a number of patented mining claims that
spring from the once vast holdings of Howard Hughes. Our company's capital
contribution paid to Summa, LLC was $125,000, of which $100,000 was in cash and
the balance in services.
Our company participated in the formation of Summa, which holds 88 fee-title
patented lode claims, which cover approximately 1,191.3 acres of prospective
mineral lands. Our company has recently signed a joint operating agreement with
the other participants to govern the conduct of Summa, and the development of
the lands. Our company's director, Tom Lewis, has been named as a managing
member of Summa.
The Hughes lands are situated in six discrete prospect areas in Nevada, the most
notable of which being the Tonopah block in Nye County where Summa holds 56
claims that cover approximately 770 acres in the heart of the historic mining
camp where over 1.8 million ounces of gold and 174 million ounces of silver were
produced predominately in the early 1900's. The Hughes claims include a number
of the prolific past producers in Tonopah, such as the Belmont, the Desert
Queen, and the Midway mines. In addition there are also claims in the area of
the past producing Klondyke East mining district, which is to the south of
Tonopah, and at the town of Belmont (not to be confused with the Belmont claim
in Tonopah), Nevada, another notable silver producer from the 1800's, which is
roughly 40 miles to the northeast of Tonopah.
Recently research has been conducted on the Hughes properties, focusing on the
Tonopah area where reporting in the 1980's, indicate that over 2.175 million
tons of mine dumps and mill tailings exist at surface on Summa's properties that
contain in the order of 3.453 million ounces of silver, and 28,500 ounces of
gold. In addition to this easily extractable surficial resource, other reports
indicate that 300 - 500,000 tons of mineralized material is expected to remain
at depth in old workings on Summa's properties, which is believed to contain an
average 20 ounces silver and 0.02 ounces gold per ton. Also several partially
tested exploration targets have been identified on Summa's Tonopah claims, where
further work could potentially lead to a marked increase in known underground
resources.
In the general area of our company's newest acquisition, West Kirkland Mining
has recently announced that it has completed a $29.2 million dollar financing,
the proceeds of which were used to purchase a 75% interest in Allied Nevada Gold
Corporation's Tonopah properties. West Kirkland also has the option to purchase
the remaining 25% interest by paying Allied Nevada a further $10 million dollars
on or before October 23, 2016. West Kirkland has recently compiled an updated
NI-43-101 resource on the Hasbrouck and Three Hills prospects which are roughly
5.5 and 2 miles, respectively, from Summa's Tonopah claim block and it is West
Kirkland's intent to advance these properties to a pre-feasibility study and
initiate mine permitting. The Nye County Recorder's office only recently
recorded title in favor of Summa LLC., so we are only now beginning to determine
how best to capitalize on this asset.
We are currently pursuing other properties which are believed to be prospective
for hosting lithium or graphite mineralization, as well as evaluating
opportunities brought to our company by third parties.
Additionally our company is looking to ramp up its generative program exploring
for new deposits of next generation battery related materials.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES
Net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30,
2015 was $199,795, a decrease of $53,597 from the $253,392 net cash outflow
during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
The primary driver of cash used in investing activities was continued
expenditures related to the acquisition and maintenance of resource properties.
Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30,
2015 was $5,000, which was a $101,395 decrease from the $106,395 cash used in
investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The
decrease was a result of our company not requiring to spend funds to acquire an
investment in the current period when compared to the same period in 2014.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30,
2015 was $0 as compared to $2,500 in cash provided by financing activities
during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
We estimate that our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the
next 12 months to be as follows:
21
ESTIMATED NET EXPENDITURES DURING THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS
General and administrative expenses $150,000
Exploration expenses 100,000
Travel 30,000
--------
TOTAL $280,000
========
To date we have relied on proceeds from the sale of our shares and on loans from
our sole officer in order to sustain our basic, minimum operating expenses;
however, we cannot guarantee that we will secure any further sales of our shares
or that our sole officer and director with provide us with any future loans. We
estimate that the cost of maintaining basic corporate operations (which includes
the cost of satisfying our public reporting obligations) will be approximately
$2,000 per month. Due to our current cash position of approximately $174,717 as
of September 30, 2015, we estimate that we have sufficient cash to sustain our
basic operations for the next twelve months.
We are not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments, events or
uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our
liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
FUTURE FINANCINGS
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to
continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will
result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we
will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt
or other financing to fund our planned business activities.
We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing for the
expansion of our exploration operations, and no potential lines of credit or
sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with
our plan of operations.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, and capital
expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACCOUNTING BASIS
Our company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP" accounting). Our
company has adopted a December 31 fiscal year end.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash includes cash on account, demand deposits, and short-term instruments with
maturities of three months or less.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Our company maintains our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which
at times may exceed federally insured limits. Our company continually monitors
our banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in
such accounts. Our company believes we are not exposed to any significant credit
risk on cash and cash equivalents.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
22
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Our company has yet to realize revenues from operations. Once our company has
commenced operations, we will recognize revenues when delivery of goods or
completion of services has occurred provided there is persuasive evidence of an
agreement, acceptance has been approved by our customers, the fee is fixed or
determinable based on the completion of stated terms and conditions, and
collection of any related receivable is probable.
LOSS PER SHARE
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common
shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share assumes the conversion,
exercise or contingent issuance of securities only when such conversion,
exercise or issuance would have a dilutive effect on earnings per share. The
dilutive effect of convertible securities is reflected in diluted earnings per
share by application of the "if converted" method. In the periods in which a
loss is incurred, the effect of potential issuances of shares under options and
warrants would be anti-dilutive, and therefore basic and diluted losses per
share are the same.
INCOME TAXES
The asset and liability approach is used to account for income taxes by
recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax
basis of assets and liabilities.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our company's financial instruments consist of cash, deposits, prepaid expenses,
and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it our
management's opinion that our company is not exposed to significant interest,
currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. Because of
the short maturity and capacity of prompt liquidation of such assets and
liabilities, the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their
carrying values, unless otherwise noted.
MINERAL PROPERTIES
Costs of exploration, carrying and retaining unproven mineral lease properties
are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized
including licenses and lease payments. Although our company has taken steps to
verify title to mineral properties in which our company has an interest, these
procedures do not guarantee our company's title. Such properties may be subject
to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected
defects. Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations
when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows
estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying
amount. Impairment of $0 and $0 was recorded during the years ended December 31,
2014 and 2013, respectively.
OFFICE LEASE
Our company rents office space in Las Vegas, Nevada for $350 per month. The
arrangement is on a month-by-month basis and can be terminated by either party.
