Corporate Information
The address of our principal executive office is 7251 W. Lake Mead Blvd, Suite 300, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89128. Our telephone number is 702-675-8198.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC QB under the symbol "FLPC".
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name “Quuibus Technology, Inc.” on March 28, 2007, to engage in the business of developing and offering a server-based software product for the creation of wireless communities. Due to an inability to commence viable operations in the software production industry, new management of the Company began to evaluate various business alternatives available to us.
In accordance with approval by the Board of Directors, effective December 22, 2009, the Nevada Secretary of State effected a forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a one (1) old for 27 new basis, such that our authorized capital increased from 20,000,000 shares of common stock with par value of $0.001 to 540,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 and, correspondingly, our issued and outstanding shares of common stock increased from 2,525,000 shares of common stock to 68,175,000 shares of common stock. Also, effective December 22, 2009, we changed our name from “Quuibus Technology, Inc.” to “First Liberty Power Corp.” by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary First Liberty Power Corp. which was formed solely for the purpose of the change of name. The change of name and forward stock split became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on February 4, 2010, under the new stock symbol “FLPC”. The change of name was effected to better reflect the new business direction of our company.
We do not have any subsidiaries.
Other than as set out herein, we have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings, nor have we been a party to any material reclassification, merger, consolidation or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of our business.
Our Current Business
We are an exploration stage company engaged in the exploration of mineral properties.
On December 24, 2009, we entered into two purchase agreements with GeoXplor Corp. (“GeoXplor”). Under the agreements, we have been granted an exclusive exploration license in regards to the mineral properties described in the agreements. One agreement is in regards to claims located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, for Lithium and Lithium Carbonate exploration (the "Lithium Agreement"), and one agreement is in regards to claims located in San Juan County, Utah, for Vanadium and Uranium exploration (the "Van-Ur Agreement").
On February 3, 2011, we entered into and closed a property acquisition and exploration rights agreements with New America Energy Corp. (“NECA”) for the claims identified within the Van-Ur Agreement, under which we retained certain residual and recovery rights to the claims. Certain payments due to the Company on June 3, 2011 were not paid, and on August 1, 2011, with an effective date of May 31, 2011, the parties executed an extension to the agreement, extending due dates through to October 3, 2011. The outstanding payments were not delivered by NECA, and we did not then exercise our rights to recovery under the agreements, therefore the claims fully reverted back to GeoXplor Corp.
On May 31, 2012, we entered into a purchase agreement with GeoXplor Corp. (“Lithium Agreement”). Under this Lithium Agreement, we have been granted an exclusive four year exploration license in regards to the two mineral properties described in the Lithium Agreement. One property encompasses 58 placer claims (9280 acres) located in Lida Valley, Esmeralda County, Nevada for Lithium and Lithium Carbonate exploration (the "Lida Valley Property"), and the other encompasses 70 placer claims (11,200 acres) located in Smokey Valley, Esmeralda County, Nevada for Lithium and Lithium Carbonate exploration (the "Smokey Valley Property"). The Lida Valley Property encompasses claims previously included in agreements between the Company and GeoXplor, specifically the Purchase agreement between the Company and GeoXplor dated December 24, 2009. This Agreement supersedes and replaces all prior agreements in respect to those claims.
The claims identified in the Lithium Agreement are situated on undeveloped raw land. We have undertaken exploration on these claims, and intend to undertake further exploration in the expectation of finding commercially viable deposits of Lithium / Lithium Carbonate. This will continue to be our principal activity, until and if our minerals of interest are discovered in commercially viable quantities, which would then become our principal products.
Our exploration program will be exploratory in nature and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists until further exploration, particularly drilling, is undertaken and a comprehensive evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility. We have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
Should we be successful in raising sufficient funds in order to conduct our additional exploration programs, the full extent and cost of which is not presently known beyond that required by our proposed drilling program and mandatory work programs as noted below, and such exploration programs results in an indication that production of our minerals of interest is economically feasible, then at that point in time we would make a determination as to the best and most viable approach for mineral extraction.
As all of our minerals of interest are commodity products, they are expected to be readily saleable on an open market at then current prices, therefore we foresee no direct competition per se for the selling of our products, should we ever reach the production stage. However, we would be competing with numerous other companies in the region, in the state of Nevada, in the country, and globally, for the equipment, manpower, geological expertise, and capital, required to fund, explore, develop, extract, and distribute such minerals.
Our mineral exploration programs are subject to State and Federal regulations, which sets forth rules for: locating claims, posting claims, working claims and reporting work performed. We are also subject to rules on how and where we can explore for minerals. We must comply with these laws to operate our business. Compliance with these rules and regulations will not adversely affect our operations. We are also subject to the numerous laws for the environmental protection of forests, lakes and rivers, fisheries, wild life etc. These codes deal with environmental matters relating to the exploration and development of mining properties. We are responsible to provide a safe working environment, not disrupt archaeological sites, and conduct our activities to prevent unnecessary damage to the property.
We will secure all necessary permits for exploration and, if development is warranted on the properties, will file final plans of operation before we start any mining operations. We anticipate no discharge of water into active stream, creek, river, lake or any other body of water regulated by environmental law or regulation. No endangered species will be disturbed. Restoration of the disturbed land will be completed according to law. All holes, pits and shafts will be sealed upon abandonment of the property. It is difficult to estimate the cost of compliance with the environmental law since the full nature and extent of our proposed activities cannot be determined until we start our operations and know what that will involve from an environmental standpoint. We are in compliance with all regulations at present and will continue to comply in the future. We believe that compliance with these regulations will not adversely affect our business operations in the future.
We intend to subcontract exploration work out to third parties, which are identified below in our more detailed discussions. We intend to use the services of subcontractors for manual labor exploration work.

Lida Valley Claims, Esmeralda County, NV
Location and Access
The Lida Valley Property is located in South Western Nevada, approximately 150 miles north of Las Vegas and within 15 miles of the Montezuma peak. The project area has excellent infrastructure including a network of roads, railroads and cellular telephone coverage.
Regional & Property Geology
Lida Valley is one of a group of inter-mountain basins in west-central Nevada and is surrounded by Cuprite Hills to the Northwest, Stonewall Mountains to the East and Slate Ridge to the Southwest. It has a playa floor of about 12 square miles that receives surface drainage from an area of about 60 square miles. The playa floor contains erosion remnants of Lithium-rich rhyolite tuff and is surrounded by alluvial fan slopes of the mountain ranges. Altitudes range from 4,630 feet on the playa floor to 7,000 feet on the Stonewall Ridge.
The tertiary volcanic rocks are considered to be involved in the origin of the Lithium deposits in south-central Nevada. The volcanism that created the volcanic rocks also provided the heat energy and hydrothermal activity required to mobilize the Lithium from volcanic glass and other relatively unstable minerals. The Tertiary rhyolites from the Montezuma Range and surrounding mountain ranges are considered to be the most lithium rich rhyolites in the world, (MacDonald et. Al; 1992) Transport of the Lithium would require a hydrothermal fluid, surface water or meteoric groundwater. Evaporation concentrated the Lithium in the brine to economic grades which are considered to be in the 100 to 300 ppm range. The Lithium rich water would also alter the playa sediments to form Lithium-rich clays and Lithium rich inclusions in halite.
Exploration
In March of 2010, the Company commissioned a gravity survey on the Lida Valley Property, total cost of $85,287, undertaken by Hasbrouck Geophysics, Inc. of Prescott, Arizona, which report was completed in June 2010. The gravity survey was conducted for lithium brine exploration over claims Lida Valley Property. The purpose of the survey was to map depth to bedrock or thickness of sediments, map any geologic structures that may be significant to the occurrence of lithium brine, and provide information for the selection and design of additional geophysical surveys.
Interpretation of the modeled gravity data indicates several areas with increased bedrock depths or lower bedrock elevations. These areas may be conducive for concentration of lithium-bearing brines, but the presence, dip and continuity of aquifer beds plus the detailed mapping of any structures both within the sedimentary section and bedrock should be determined through high resolution geophysical means prior to drilling.
In order to further detail on the above gravity survey, a 2nd gravity survey was commissioned for a cost of $22,000, which was completed in August 2010.
Based on the positive indicators found from the two gravity survey reports, two geophysical approaches were recommended in areas selected from the gravity surveys: 1) controlled-source audiomagnetotellurics / magnetotellurics (CSAMT/MT) surveys, and 2) reflection seismic surveys. It was recommended that the CSAMT/MT surveys be conducted because they will determine if conductive zones, possibly indicative of lithium-bearing brines, are present and continuous. Additionally these surveys may help define aquifer dip.
Based on the above recommendation, the Company engaged GeoXplor, in association with Hasbrouck Geophysics, Inc., to undertake the CSAMT/MT surveys. The work was completed and a report provided to the Company in February 2011, for a total cost of $112,500. As with the previous two geophysical surveys conducted, the results were positive, and include having identified areas of potential lithium brine deposits. The mapping indicated a geologic stratigraphy and structure relative to the occurrence of lithium brine, and identified conductors that are thought to be representative of lithium-bearing brine, thus providing information for the selection and design of additional geophysical surveys or the identification of drilling locations.
Collectively, the three reports show several clear targets for further exploratory investigations. Drilling targets in both the southern end of the Property and in the northern area of the playa have been located based on the identification of several areas showing areas of low resistivity. The complete reports from Hasbrouck Geophysics from all exploration stages on the Property are currently available at the Company’s website, www.firstlibertystrategic.com.
Based on these results, in May 2011, the Company determined that the best and most efficient approach is to bypass seismic surveys, and proceed directly to a 3 - 5 hole drilling program, and therefore requested a work program estimate from GeoXplor, which has now been presented to the Company in October 2011. The drill program, estimated at 3000m total, will target areas of significant Lithium brine potential identified by the Company's exploration program (i.e., areas marked by gravity lows and low resistivity) through certain initial holes followed by the remaining holes depending on first results. By penetrating the formations comprising the basin fill in the Lida Valley Property, the drill results will allow the Company to identify the concentration, if any, of Lithium and other constituents in the groundwater in these target zones. GeoXplor Corp., who will perform the drilling, estimates that each hole will require one week's time, with a budgeted cost of $343,000.
The Company is required to undertake a combined total of approximately $1,500,000 worth of work on the Lida Valley Property and Smokey Valley Property prior to December 2014. The next steps for exploration, over the next year, are expected to be the drill program as indicated above. If the results are positive for the drill program, we will base our next phase exploration program on those results, though we would expect additional drilling to be involved.
As of July 31, 2012 and to date, the exploration work undertaken has provided continued positive indications that additional exploration is warranted, but there are as of yet no known or proven reserves, and substantial additional exploration work must be undertaken on the Lida Valley Property in order to determine if a commercially viable reserve does exist.
At present, the Company does not have sufficient funds for the planned drill program, and would need to raise additional capital either through obtaining additional loans, or through the sale of its common stock. While initial arrangements have been made to accomplish the raising of additional funds, and the Company expects to be able to raise the required funds for the next phases of the exploration program, our success in doing so cannot be assured.
Smokey Valley Claims, Esmeralda County, NV
Location and Access
The Smokey Valley Property is also located in South Western Nevada, approximately 170 miles north of Las Vegas and within 15 miles of the Montezuma peak, positioned North-West as opposed to South, as is the Lida Valley Property. The project area, off highway 265 approximately 5 miles from Silver Creek road, the location of the lithium producing Chemetall Foote project, has excellent infrastructure including a network of paved roads, railroads and cellular telephone coverage.
Regional & Property Geology
The Smokey Valley Property, adjacent to Clayton Valley, is also located in one of a group of inter-mountain basins in west-central Nevada and is surrounded by Cuprite Hills to the Northwest, Stonewall Mountains to the East and Slate Ridge to the Southwest. It has a playa floor of an estimated 15 square miles that receives surface drainage from an area of about 140 square miles. The playa floor contains erosion remnants of Lithium-rich rhyolite tuff and is surrounded by alluvial fan slopes of the mountain ranges.
The tertiary volcanic rocks are considered to be involved in the origin of the Lithium deposits in south-central Nevada. The volcanism that created the volcanic rocks also provided the heat energy and hydrothermal activity required to mobilize the Lithium from volcanic glass and other relatively unstable minerals. The Tertiary rhyolites from the Montezuma Range and surrounding mountain ranges are considered to be the most lithium rich rhyolites in the world, (MacDonald et. Al; 1992) Transport of the Lithium would require a hydrothermal fluid, surface water or meteoric groundwater. Evaporation concentrated the Lithium in the brine to economic grades which are considered to be in the 100 to 300 ppm range. The Lithium rich water would also alter the playa sediments to form Lithium-rich clays and Lithium rich inclusions in halite.
Exploration
In the 1970’s USGS conducted a gravity survey covering Clayton Valley and the valley connecting Clayton Valley to Big Smoky where the Smokey Valley Property claims are located. The resulting maps show a relationship between the brine field in Clayton Valley and the deepest parts of the valley. The map also suggests that there is a height of bedrock between the Smoky Valley claims and Clayton Valley which may act as a barrier for water moving from Big Smoky Valley to Clayton Valley. The USGS performed two exploratory drill holes in Big Smoky Valley, (not on Smoky Valley Property) as part of a program to evaluate the lithium resource potential of the basins adjacent to Clayton Valley. Hole BS13 was terminated to 675 feet, Lithium in sediments ranged from 48-365ppm averaging 160ppm, lithium in water ranged from 100-1,700ppb. Hole BS14 was terminated at 215 feet. Lithium in sediments ranged from 40-287ppm, averaging 150ppm, lithium in water ranged from 820-1300ppb. These results were of indicative of the validity of additional work being performed on the Smoky Valley Property.
In February 2011, Hasbrouck Geophysics conducted a preliminary controlled source audio magnetotellurics / magnetotellurics (CSMAT/MT), the purpose of the survey was to determine if conductors that might be representative of lithium-bearing brine were present near a previously identified low value gravity anomaly. This geophysical survey indicated the presence of predominant zones of lower resistivities, which are interpreted as salty, water-saturated sediments or highly fractured bedrock, of sufficient extent and depth to further warrant additional exploration activity.
In May 2012, First Liberty commissioned a Gravity Survey report at a cost of $74,000, which survey was completed by July 2012.
A total of 116 separate gravity stations were acquired along seven profiles, as shown in Figure 1, at nominal line and station spacings of one kilometer. The station locations were first located on a topographic map, uploaded to a hand-held Global Positioning System (GPS), and then staked in the field. Elevations of individual stations were acquired in the field with a Trimble GeoXH GPS unit and confirmed with elevations taken from USGS topographic maps. Because the survey was considered reconnaissance in nature, the generally better than one-half meter elevation accuracies of the stations were considered adequate.
From results of previous modeling conducted in the general area by the report author and other investigators, a density contrast between valley fill sediments and Paleozoic bedrock of 0.5 g/cm3 was chosen to best represent a two-layer case. All lines, except number 1, extended to outcrop at the beginning and/or ending stations and thus the depth to bedrock at those stations was considered as zero for modeling purposes. The middle of survey line number 1 was located near the base of the prominent cinder cone in the area with the idea that bedrock might be near the surface. The most accurate depth modeling results would require bedrock depths from drilling along the line(s) as constraints in the modeling. Since the survey was considered essentially reconnaissance, lines with identified bedrock outcrop at either or both ends were considered sufficiently accurate for the purposes of the survey.
There are two main factors that must be considered regarding target areas for lithium mineralization and concentration: 1) where is the source of the lithium, and 2) does a basin environment exist for the concentration of the lithium transported by meteoric water from the source In the Clayton Valley region it is thought that the source of the lithium is the dark gray lithium enriched rhyolite tuffs that outcrop near Montezuma Peak. Once lithium has been liberated into the water system it remains highly mobile and movement of the lithium with surface water and groundwater will follow basic hydrological principles. Hydrologic basins in Nevada consist of basin fill underlain by either low-permeability or permeable rock with water movement through the basin fill, permeable rock and along faults. Nothing more complex than a topographic low or closed basin is required to concentrate lithium-bearing water. For topographic lows with larger catchment areas there is a greater opportunity to accumulate lithium from wider sources. The water trapped in these lows may move through dipping aquifers until it reaches an impermeable barrier such as a fault scarp.
The complete Bouguer gravity map shown in Figure 2 is contoured from the total 116 stations, using Golden Software’s Surfer computer program (version 10.7.972), with a Bouguer slab density of 2.67 g/cm3. The bedrock depth map can be thought of as a thickness of sediments map, but because the surface elevation within the gravity survey area varies then the bedrock elevation map can often be more useful for identification of low bedrock areas.
If one reasonably assumes that lithium source material and transport mechanisms for this gravity survey area are present and similar to those that have supplied Clayton Valley lithium-bearing brines then areas with lower bedrock elevations (i.e., bedrock topographic lows) may be conducive to increased lithium-bearing brines concentration. Increased bedrock depth, or increased sedimentary thickness, and lower bedrock elevations that form a basin are present in the approximate middle of the survey area. This bedrock topographic low appears to be closed off to the south, but remains open to the north. The deepest portion of the bedrock low is modeled as about 1,850 meters below ground surface (bgs), or approximately -300 meters elevation, along line 7. Because no drilling results are available to those depths, the gravity modeling depths should be considered approximate. However, it is important that the gravity modeling results indicate the presence of a deep basin that
extends over a large area particularly if an arbitrary depth of 600 meters is chosen to represent the boundaries of the basin. With such a large catchment area there is a greater opportunity to accumulate lithium from wider sources. On both the bedrock depth and elevation maps it appears that an additional small, closed basin at a depth of about 900 meters is present near the eastern one-third of line 3 (essentially centered between stations 313 and 314). Somewhat similarly, an anomalous area is present at about the western one-third of line 4 (near station 405) and also approximately three to four kilometers from the western beginning of line 7 (between about stations 705 and 706). These additional anomalous areas may or may not be related to the main bedrock topographic low. From these profiles (either A-A’ or BA’) it is apparent that significantly shallower bedrock is located at the southern end of the geophysically surveyed area, while the bedrock continues to deepen to the northern extent of the survey area.
Based on the interpretation of the modeled gravity data indicates a large topographic low, or basin, that appears to be closed off to the south but remains open to the north. This extensive basin area may be favorable for the accumulation of lithium-bearing brines, but additional investigations need to be conducted. Additional geophysical surveys will further determine the structure of the basin identified in this survey, and map the presence, dip and continuity of conductive zones within the basin.
Recommended additional geophysical surveys prior to drilling are: 1) extend the gravity survey along line 1 to the west and east and add one additional line one kilometer south of line 1 to better define the indicated southern basin closure, 2) acquire additional gravity data along at least two lines to the north, separated by one kilometer each, to determine if the basin closes in that direction, and 3) conduct controlled-source audio-magnetotellurics / magnetotellurics (CSAMT / MT) surveys in selected areas from the gravity survey(s) to determine if conductive zones, possibly indicative of lithium-bearing brines, are present and if so then to map the dip and continuity of those aquifer beds. It is estimated that to satisfy items number 1 and 2 above that approximately 60 additional gravity stations will be required. It is anticipated that nominally 100 CSAMT / MT stations will be sufficient to satisfy item number 3 above. After additional gravity data and new CSAMT / MT data are acquired, processed and interpreted then either reflection seismic surveys or drilling can be conducted. The reflection seismic surveys will detail any possible lithium-bearing brines beds (e.g., similar to the Main Ash and Lower Gravel Aquifers, amongst others, in Clayton Valley) and will map structure in greater detail than the other geophysical techniques.
At present, the Company does not have sufficient funds for the planned additional exploration program, and would need to raise additional capital either through obtaining additional loans, or through the sale of its common stock. While initial arrangements have been made to accomplish the raising of additional funds, and the Company expects to be able to raise the required funds for the next phases of the exploration program, our success in doing so cannot be assured.
B) Uravan Claims, San Juan Country, Utah (“Van-Ur Property”)
A property purchase agreement for claims located in San Juan County, Utah, for Vanadium and Uranium exploration (the “Van-Ur Agreement”). In regards to the Van-Ur Agreement, the Company was required to:
1.
Make cash payments of $480,000 over a four-year period
a.
Initial cash payments of $80,000 were made in November and December of 2010; and
b.
A cash payment of $100,000 was required on December 24, 2010. On December 14, 2010, the parties agreed to defer this payment until up to February 7, 2011 (see below in regard to this payment required).
2.
Issue a total of 1,000,000 restricted shares of common stock over a three-year period
a.
250,000 shares of common stock were issuable upon execution of the agreement
b.
250,000 shares were issuable on the first anniversary, December 24 2010, of the Van-Ur Agreement
The initial 250,000 shares due and payable under the Van-Ur Agreement were issued in in June 2011. The remaining 250,000 shares were not issued, as a result of the assignment of the Van-Ur Agreement to New America Energy Corp. as described below, and no further share issuances are required.
3.
Comply with a work commitment of $1,000,000 within four years of the date of the Van-Ur Agreement.
a.
A total of $20,974 was expended on exploration and claim maintenance activities prior to the assignment of the Van-Ur Agreement to New America Energy Corp. as described below. No further payments are required.
On February 3, 2011, we entered into and closed agreements with New America Energy Corp. (“New America”) and GeoXplor Inc. (“NECA Agreement”), whereby the Company optioned its interest in the mining claims associated with the Van-Ur Agreement, granting an option, as well as exploration rights, in these claims to New America. Pursuant to the terms of the NECA Agreement, the consideration to the Company for entering into this agreement with New America was as follows:
1.
$10,000 on the execution of the NECA Agreement; $33,333 within 120 days of the execution of the NECA Agreement; $33,333 within 240 days of the execution of the NECA Agreement; and $33,334 within 360 days of the execution of the NECA Agreement;
a.
The amount of $10,000 was received by the Company on February 8, 2011
2.
500,000 shares of New America common stock
a.
These shares were issued to the Company on February 11, 2011. The fair value of the shares was recorded as an investment in the amount of $250,000 based on the trading price of the shares at the time of issuance, which was $0.50 per share. The value of these shares is to be periodically reviewed and adjusted as required.
3.
A 0.5% net smelter royalty on all net revenue derived from production.
Subject to New America fulfilling the terms of the NECA Agreement, the Company was not required to meet its obligations under the Van-Ur Agreement, including the December 24, 2010 payment of $100,000 (deferred until February 7, 2011) and all future payments, work program commitments, and stock issuances including the December 24, 2010 issuance for 250,000 shares.
Pursuant to the terms of the Van-Ur Agreement, New America made cash payments in the amount of $10,000, and issued 500,000 shares of common stock to the Company and made cash payments in the amount of $50,000 and issued 500,000 shares of common stock to GeoXplor.
The value of the mining property asset associated with this agreement has been divested from the Company’s financial statements, and as of July 31, 2012, the Company has recorded the gain on the transfer of the mineral property option in the amount of $75,000.
The payment of $33,333 due to the Company on June 3, 2011 and the payment of $50,000 due to GeoXplor on May 31, 2011 pursuant to the Van-Ur Agreement were not paid as due. The parties to the agreement verbally agreed to extend the payment due dates by 120 days and on August 1, 2011, with an effective date of May 31, 2011, the parties executed an extension agreement. Under the terms of the extension agreement, during the 120 day extension period commencing from May 31, 2011, GeoXplor had the right to solicit and accept offers by other parties on the property, in which case the Van-Ur Agreement would be terminated and neither New America nor the Company would have any further rights or interest in the Uravan property. At any time prior to the expiration of the 120 day term either NECA or the Company could pay the required payments to GeoXplor. If neither NECA nor the Company paid the required payments under the agreement then the property would revert to GeoXplor unless further extended.
The extension agreement lapsed on September 30, 2011, with neither New America nor the Company making any additional payments; therefore the claims fully reverted back to GeoXplor Corp. The Company has no further obligations in respect of the original Van-Ur Agreement or the assignment thereof.
Location and Access
The Uravan Property is located in the northeast corner of San Juan County approximately 40 miles southeast of Moab, Utah. The area is sparsely populated with a small village of La Sal, Utah, about 10 miles west of the claim block. Utah Highway 46, an all-weather paved road provides access to the southern region of the mineral claims. A network of forests roads, drill access roads and jeep trails make most of the claim block accessible year round.
The climate of San Juan County is semi-arid with minor precipitation. The average annual precipitation is 12.83 inches with an average snowfall of 44.5 inches. The snowfalls during November to May occasionally reach 15 inches or more. The Uravan Property is located in the high desert ecosystem with erosional landscape exposing the sandstone formations. Deep canyons with canyon walls composed of alternating erosion-resistant benches and highly erodible slopes, and broad flat benches are the predominant landscape features. Vegetation consists of greasewood, salt bush, rabbit bush with willows and cottonwood in the drainage area.
Regional & Property Geology
The Uravan Mineral claims are located within the Colorado Plateau near the Utah-Colorado border. The Colorado Plateau is a broad area of regional uplift consisting mainly of flat-lying Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic sedimentary rocks. The strata is gently folded and faulted by uplift, intrusion and collapse of plastic evaporite formations on the east and by intrusion of laccolithic complexes now composing the La Sal Mountains on the west.
The uranium-vanadium deposits in the La Sal quadrangle occur in the uppermost sandstone of the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison Formation. The ore bearing sandstone range in thickness from a few feet to 100 feet. The sandstone is a medium to fine grained quartzose interbedded with siltstone and mudstone. Near the uranium-vanadium mineralization, the sandstone is white, light gray or light brown, and the siltstone and mudstone are usually light green or gray green.
The uranium-vanadium deposits mined in the nearby producing mines occur in the uppermost sandstone beds within the Salt Wash member of the Morrison Formation. This unit is commonly called the ore-bearing sandstone or third rim in reference to its position above the Entrada Sandstone.
The ore-bearing sandstone is composed of a single broad lens of cross-laminated sandstone ranging from 0 to 30 feet in thickness. In other areas it is composed of overlapping sandstone lenses which have a combined thickness of 30 to 100 feet. The cross-laminated sandstone appears to have been deposited in a flood-plain environment. Scour and fill bedding consisting of cross-bedded sandstone lenses truncated by and direct contact with other truncated lenses separated by thin discontinuous mudstone lenses or mudstone conglomerate. Fragments of fossil wood are abundant in the scour and fill beds and occur either along the bedding planes or in pot like masses called “trash pockets”.
Exploration
A radon survey was completed on the Uravan Mineral Claims during September, 2009. The theory of radon soil surveys is based on the element radon which is a radioactive daughter product of uranium decay. Radon is produced by the radioactive decay of radium, a product of uranium and thorium decay in rocks and soils. Theoretically, radon-222 concentrations in soil should be directly related to the uranium content of the minerals in the soil and rocks. Radon is a daughter product of uranium-238 and a non-reactive, highly mobile gas that migrates away from the site of its uranium parent by diffusion and advection along joints, faults, and intergranular permeable pathways.
The magnitude of a radon anomaly associated with a parent concentration of uranium will be due to the size and grade of the parent body. Dispersion and dilution along the pathways to the surface increase the size of the radon footprint but also reduce the magnitude. The location of the anomaly relative to the uranium body will be strongly influenced by the orientation of the pathways to the surface.
The radon survey uses a system that measures the radon by utilizing an ion chamber with a electrically charged Teflon, called an electret, located inside an electrically conducting plastic chamber of known air volume. The electrets serve as a source of high voltage needed for the chamber to operate as an ion chamber. It also serves as a sensor for the measurement of ionization in air. The ions produced inside the sensitive volume of the chamber are collected by the electrets causing a depletion of charge. The measurement of the depleted charge during the exposure period is a measure of integrated ionization during the measurement period. The electrets charge is read before and after the exposure using a specially built non-contact electret voltage reader.
The Uravan mineral claims radon survey consisted of 101 readings with a minimum reading of 0.35 and a maximum reading of 27.75. The median reading was 6.75 with a midrange of 14.05. The grid results were then contoured and presented in the attached report. Proposed drill locations have also been located and presented on the following map.
The preliminary radon survey data indicates an anomalous east-west radiometric trend. The size of the anomalies appears to be similar to the size of the high grade vanadium-uranium beds mined from the Firefly, Gray Daun and Vanadium Queen Mine. A detailed radon survey would define drill targets and thereby, delineate tonnage and grade within the Uravan Claim Block.
Data compiled from mining activity and regional studies indicates ground considered favorable for Vanadium-Uranium mineralization has the following features:
•
Sandstone beds over 30 feet in thickness with a light brown to light gray color with a medium to fine grain size.
•
The sandstone contains carbonaceous material and a gray or grayish-green mudstone.
•
The beds contain mudstone as a film, pebbles or seams.
•
The sandstone is overlain by gray, greenish-gray or green mudstone
As of July 31, 2011, the exploration conducted to date has provided positive indications that additional exploration is warranted, but there are no known or proven reserves, and substantial additional exploration work must be undertaken on the Van-Ur Property.
As the Company is no longer in possession of this property as at July 31, 2012, the provided data is for historical reference only.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On August 9, 2011, the Company signed a confidential term sheet in respect to the creation of a $3,000,000 Equity Line financing structure. Pursuant to the term sheet, the Company paid a document preparation fee of $7,500, and issued a total of 136,364 shares valued at $15,000. As of April 30, 2012, the Company has determined that it will not be proceeding with this transaction, and has expensed all costs accordingly.
On January 11, 2012, the Company entered into a 13 month agreement with an unrelated third party for the provision of non-exclusive financial advisor, investment bank and placement agent services to the Company. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company was required to issue 350,000 shares, which were issued in January 2012, and valued at $24,675 of which $12,390 has been expensed during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, and leaving a prepaid expense balance of $12,285.
The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the issuance of these 136,364 and 350,000 shares, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the transaction does not involve a public offering, the purchasers are “accredited investors” and/or qualified institutional buyers, the purchasers have access to information about the Company and its purchase, the purchasers will take the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company is taking appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.
According to the Company’s Lithium Agreement with GeoXplor, detailed in Note 3 - Mineral Properties above, 250,000 shares valued at $16,250, were issuable on the second anniversary of the Agreement, December 24 2011, which shares were issued in January 2012.
Further to the Company’s Lithium Agreement with GeoXplor, detailed in Note 3 - Mineral Properties above, a cash payment of $100,000 was required on December 15, 2011. On January 6, 2012, effective December 15, 2011, GeoXplor agreed to defer the payment until March 15, 2012, in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 compensation shares (issued January 2012 valued at $37,450), and the further issuance of 500,000 shares (issued in January 2012 valued at $28,500) to be held by GeoXplor as security against the Payment. Upon fulfilling the Payment obligations within the extension, these security shares are to be returned to the Company for cancellation. If the Company does not complete in full the Payment obligation before March 15, 2012, such shares may be sold by GeoXplor with the proceeds applied towards any remaining amounts owing. If there are proceeds in excess of the amounts owing, the excess shall be applied as a pre-payment towards exploration work obligations under the Lithium Agreement. According to an agreement between GeoXplor and the Company signed subsequent to the end of the period (May 31, 2012), effective as of March 15, 2012, all rights and obligations under the original agreement were replaced by those in the new agreement. The additional 500,000 shares, issued in January 2012 valued at $28,500, were agreed to be retained by GeoXplor as compensation and revalued at the effective date of the new agreement, March 15, 2012, for a value of $26,250.
The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the issuance of these 1,250,000 shares to GeoXplor, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the transaction does not involve a public offering, the purchasers are “accredited investors” and/or qualified institutional buyers, the purchasers have access to information about the Company and its purchase, the purchasers will take the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company is taking appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.
On December 24, 2009, the Company borrowed $200,000 from an unrelated third party under a promissory note. The loan was unsecured, bore interest at 10 percent per annum, and was due and payable on or before December 23, 2010. On February 1, 2010, the Company borrowed an additional $50,000 from the same third party lender, which amount was also unsecured, bore interest at 10 percent per annum, and was due on or before February 1, 2011. On December 23, 2010, the Company and the lender agreed to consolidate the principal amounts, as of December 24, 2010, into a single consolidated loan. The new consolidated loan is in the amount of $250,000 and is unsecured, bears interest at 10 percent per annum, and is due on or before December 23, 2011. On December 23, 2011, the combined principal and interest of the note amounted to $301,973. On January 9, 2012, effective December 23, 2011, the Company and the Lender agreed to convert the entire $301,973 principal and interest, based on the average closing price of the Borrower’s shares for the 10 trading days prior and up to the effective date of the conversion agreement, into restricted common stock of the Company. The resultant quantity of shares amounted to 3,753,544 shares, which were issued in January 2012.
The 3,753,544 shares issued were in compliance with the exemption from the registration requirements found in Regulation S promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933. The offer and sale to the purchaser was made in an offshore transaction as defined by Rule 902(h). No directed selling efforts were made in the U.S. as defined in Rule 902(c).

purposes only and not with a view to any resale, distribution or other disposition of the shares in violation of the United States federal securities laws. Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf offered or sold these securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The shares sold are restricted securities and the certificates representing these shares have been affixed with a standard restrictive legend, which states that the securities cannot be sold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933 or an exemption therefrom. No commissions or finder’s fees were paid by the Company in connection with the issuance of these shares.
On December 16, 2011, the Company received a total of $15,000 from the proceeds of the sale of 187,500 shares of its common stock under a private placement agreement, priced at $0.08 / share, which shares were issued in January 2012. The purchaser has received 187,500 warrants, each with the right to purchase a share at the price of $0.08/share, valid through to December 15, 2013.
The Company claims an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the issuance of these 187,500 pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder since, among other things, the transaction does not involve a public offering, the purchasers are “accredited investors” and/or qualified institutional buyers, the purchasers have access to information about the Company and its purchase, the purchasers will take the securities for investment and not resale, and the Company is taking appropriate measures to restrict the transfer of the securities.

Our Current Business
We are an exploration stage company engaged in the exploration of mineral properties.
Liquidity & Capital
As of July 31, 2012, our cash balance was $35,948 which is s decrease from our cash balance of $74,576 at July 31, 2011.
As of July 31, 2012, our total current assets are $307,832 ($799,893 - July 31, 2011). Our current liabilities are $794,097 ($439,009 - July 31, 2011).
At present, the Company’s cash position is insufficient to meet its obligations through to the end of the fiscal year, as we are not currently generating any revenues, and, over the next 12 months, we will require additional funds to meet our operating obligations and property payment / work program obligations, as well as the repayment of the convertible notes should they not be converted to equity prior to the maturity dates in February 22, 2013 and March 6, 2013. At present, we anticipate our funding requirements to be approximately $925,000. This estimate is comprised of $325,000 for required and additional exploration and maintenance expenditures on our Lithium properties, a further $600,000 to cover operating, debt and overhead costs. Additional amounts will be required if we identify additional acquisition targets, or determine that additional exploration on the Lithium properties are required to accelerate their development.
This amount may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. We need to raise additional funds in the near future in order to proceed with our exploration program, as our available cash is insufficient.
The Company intends to pursue all available and reasonable avenues to raise the additional funds required to continue the exploration and development of its properties.
There is no assurance we will be able to identify or acquire these additional funds, or additional funds on a commercially reasonable basis.
In fiscal year 2012/2013 we anticipate that based on meeting our known obligations for general operations and for maintaining our two agreements current, we will be required to expend the following cash amounts:
(1)
The Company is required to expend $325,000 in exploration and other rights on the Property, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement dated May 31, 2012 between GeoExplor Corp. and First Liberty Power Corp.
If we are to acquire additional properties, or undertake additional operational activities, we would be required to raise additional capital. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising the capital required to fund our planned expenditures or other additional activities.
Results of Operations
Our revenues since inception (March 28, 2007) to date have been $nil. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, our net loss increased to $1,092,712 from $740,098 in the prior year.
This increase was due almost entirely to additional shares and fees related to management consulting services, resulting in management and consulting fees of $429,100 in the current period. Additional causes were in increase in Professional Fees to $296,521 ($71,300 - 2011) mostly from increased investments in IR activities.
We have suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of our Company is dependent upon our Company attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed. In this regard, we have successfully raised additional capital through equity offerings and loan transactions in the past, and presently believe we will be able to do so in the future, though we can offer no assurance of this outcome as no specific arrangements are in place.
Going Concern
In their audit report relating to our financial statements for the period ended July 31, 2012, our independent accountants indicated that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such factors identified in the report are our lack of revenue resulting in a net loss position and insufficient funds to meet our business objectives. All of these factors continue to exist and raise doubt about our status as a going concern.
We anticipate that additional funding will be required in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors to meet our obligations over the next twelve months.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments which are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of their evaluation form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and circumstances. Our significant accounting policies are more fully discussed in the Notes to our Financial Statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
First Liberty Power Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of First Liberty Power Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended July 31, 2012 and for the period from inception (March 28, 2007) through July 31, 2012. First Liberty Power Corp.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Liberty Power Corp (An Exploration Stage Company) as of July 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended July 31, 2012 and for the period from inception (March 28, 2007) through July 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1 - Organization and summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of Presentation and Organization
First Liberty Power Corp. (“First Liberty Power” or the “Company” and formerly Quuibus Technology, Inc.) is a Nevada corporation in the exploration stage. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 28, 2007. The original business plan of the Company was focused on developing and offering a server-based software product for the creation of wireless communities. The Company commenced a capital formation activity to effect a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and raise capital of up to $60,000 from a self-underwritten offering of 1,200,000 shares of newly issued common stock in the public markets. The Registration Statement on Form SB-2 was filed with the SEC on November 13, 2007, and declared effective on November 21, 2007. On February 18, 2008, the Company completed an offering of its registered common stock.
In December 2009, the Company changed its business direction, and the Company’s primary focus is on exploration of domestic strategic energy and mineral properties to supply the emerging demand for clean energy. The accompanying financial statements of the Company were prepared from the accounts of the Company under the accrual basis of accounting.
On December 22, 2009, the Company declared a 27 for 1 forward stock split of its authorized and issued and outstanding common stock. The Company’s authorized common stock increased from 20,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 540,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. The effect of the stock split has been recognized retroactively in the stockholders’ equity accounts as of March 28, 2007, the date of our inception, and in all shares and per share data in the financial statements.
Effective December 22, 2009, the Company changed its name from “Quuibus Technology, Inc.” to “First Liberty Power Corp.” by way of a merger with its wholly owned subsidiary First Liberty Power Corp., which was formed solely for the name change.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting within the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all cash on hand, cash accounts not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.
Mineral Properties
The Company is primarily engaged in the business of the acquisition, exploration, development, mining, and production of domestic strategic energy and mineral properties, with emphasis on lithium carbonate and additional strategic minerals. Mineral claim and other property acquisition costs are capitalized as incurred. Such costs are carried as an asset of the Company until it becomes apparent through exploration activities that the cost of such properties will not be realized through mining operations. Mineral exploration costs are expensed as incurred, and when it becomes apparent that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven or probable reserve, the exploration costs, along with mine development cost, are capitalized. The costs of acquiring mineral claims, capitalized exploration costs, and mine development costs are recognized for depletion and amortization purposes under the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable and proven reserves. If mineral properties, exploration, or mine development activities are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs are charged to operations in the current period.

Note 1 - Organization and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition
The Company is in the exploration stage and 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.
Long-lived assets
The Company accounts for its long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant and Equipment” which requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposal value.
Investments
The Company holdings in marketable securities classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value. The carrying value of marketable securities is reviewed each reporting period for declines in value that are considered to be other-than temporary and, if appropriate, the investments are written down to their estimated fair value. Realized gains and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available for sale securities are included in the Company’s statements of operations. Unrealized gains and unrealized losses deemed temporary are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Effective February 8, 2011, the Company acquired 500,000 shares of New America Energy common stock pursuant to an Agreement between the Company, New America Energy and GeoXplor (refer to Note 3) for the deemed value of $250,000. The equity investment will be periodically reviewed to determine if impairment is required. As of July 31, 2012, the Company realized $230,000 in loss on investment, and reduced the value of the 500,000 shares of New American Energy common stock to $20,000.
Loss per Common Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding during the years ended July 31, 2012, and 2011.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2012 AND 2011
Note 1 - Organization and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for income tax and financial reporting purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences.
The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets. The Company establishes a valuation allowance based upon the potential likelihood of realizing the deferred tax asset and taking into consideration the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current period. Future realization of the deferred tax benefit depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income within the carry-forward period under the Federal tax laws.
Changes in circumstances, such as the Company generating taxable income, could cause a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset. Any change in the valuation allowance will be included in income in the year of the change in estimate.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments using the available market information and valuation methods. Considerable judgment is required in estimating fair value. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value may not be indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. As of July 31, 2012 and 2011, the carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments approximated fair value due to the short-term nature and maturity of these instruments.
Common Stock Registration Expenses
The Company considers incremental costs and expenses related to the registration of equity securities with the SEC, whether by contractual arrangement as of a certain date or by demand, to be unrelated to original issuance transactions. As such, subsequent registration costs and expenses are reflected in the accompanying financial statements as general and administrative expenses, and are expensed as incurred.
Estimates
The financial statements are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 as of July 31, 2012 and 2011, and expenses for the years ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, and cumulative from inception. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Asset retirement obligations
The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 410-20 “Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations,” which requires the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation to be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related oil and gas properties. As of July 31, 2012, there has been no asset retirement obligations recorded.

JULY 31, 2012 AND 2011
Note 2 - Going concern
The Company is currently in the exploration stage and has engaged in limited operations. While management of the Company believes that the Company will be successful in its planned operating activities, there can be no assurance that it will be able to be successful in the development of its product, sale of its planned product, and services that will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has incurred an operating loss since inception and has no revenues to offset its operating costs. These and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - Mineral properties
A) Lithium Agreement:
On December 24, 2009, the Company entered into two property purchase agreements with GeoXplor Corp. (“GeoXplor”), which granted exclusive exploration licenses to the mineral properties described in the agreements for claims located in Esmeralda County, Nevada, for Lithium and Lithium Carbonate exploration.
Under these Lithium Agreements, the Company is required to:

On February 3, 2011, we entered into and closed agreements with New America Energy Corp. (“New America”) and GeoXplor Inc. (“NECA Agreement”), whereby the Company optioned its interest in the mining claims associated with the Van-Ur Agreement, granting an option, as well as exploration rights, in these claims to New America. Pursuant to the terms of the NECA Agreement, the consideration to the Company for entering into this agreement with New America was as follows:
1.
$10,000 on the execution of the NECA Agreement; $33,333 within 120 days of the execution of the NECA Agreement; $33,333 within 240 days of the execution of the NECA Agreement; and $33,334 within 360 days of the execution of the NECA Agreement;
a.
The amount of $10,000 was received by the Company on February 8, 2011
2.
500,000 shares of New America common stock
a.
These shares were issued to the Company on February 11, 2011. The fair value of the shares was recorded as an investment in the amount of $250,000 based on the trading price of the shares at the time of issuance, which was $0.50 per share. The value of these shares is to be periodically reviewed and adjusted as required.
3.
A 0.5% net smelter royalty on all net revenue derived from production.
Subject to New America fulfilling the terms of the NECA Agreement, the Company will not be required to meet its obligations under the UraVan Agreement, including the December 24, 2010 payment of $100,000 (deferred until February 7, 2011) and all future payments, work program commitments, and stock issuances including the December 24, 2010 issuance for 250,000 shares.
Pursuant to the terms of the Van-Ur Agreement, New America made cash payments in the amount of $10,000, and issued 500,000 shares of common stock to the Company and made cash payments in the amount of $50,000 and issued 500,000 shares of common stock to GeoXplor.
The value of the mining property asset associated with this agreement has been divested from the Company’s financial statements, and as of July 31, 2011, the Company recorded the gain on the transfer of the mineral property option in the amount of $80,000.
The payment of $33,333 due to the Company on June 3, 2011 and the payment of $50,000 due to GeoXplor on May 31, 2011 pursuant to the Van-Ur Agreement were not paid as due. The parties to the agreement verbally agreed to extend the payment due dates by 120 days and on August 1, 2011, with an effective date of May 31, 2011, the parties executed an extension agreement. Under the terms of the extension agreement, during the 120 extension period commencing from May 31, 2011, GeoXplor has the right to solicit and accept offers by other parties on the property, in which case the Van-Ur Agreement will be terminated and neither New America or the Company will have any further rights or interest in the Uravan property. At any time prior to the expiration of the 120 day term either NECA or the Company could pay the required payments to GeoXplor. Should neither NECA nor the Company pay the required payments under the agreement then the property will revert to GeoXplor unless further extended.
The extension agreement was lapsed on September 30, 2011, with neither New America nor the Company making additional payments; therefore the claims have fully reverted back to GeoXplor Corp.

Note 7 - Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. FASB ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.
FASB ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded. The total deferred tax asset is $1,035,823 which is calculated by multiplying a 35% estimated tax rate by the cumulative net operating loss (NOL) adjusted for the following items:
The total valuation allowance is $233,835. Details for the last two periods are as follows:

ITEM 9A(T).
ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of July 31, 2012, because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that required information to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2012. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of July 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of July 31, 2012:
1)
Lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert, and no independent directors. We do not have any members of the Board who are independent directors and we do not have an audit committee. These factors may be counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management;
2)
Inadequate staffing and supervision within our bookkeeping operations. We have one consultant involved in bookkeeping functions, who provides two staff members. The relatively small number of people who are responsible for bookkeeping functions and the fact that they are from the same firm of consultants prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews. This may result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC;
3)
Outsourcing of our accounting operations. Because there are no employees in our administration, we have outsourced all of our accounting functions to an independent firm. The employees of this firm are managed by supervisors within the firm and are not answerable to the Company’s management. This is a material weakness because it could result in a disjunction between the accounting policies adopted by our Board of Directors and the accounting practices applied by the independent firm;
4)
Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements;
5)
Ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.
Management's Remediation Initiatives
As of July 31, 2012, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, it was concluded that during the period covered by this report, the internal controls and procedures were not effective due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. However, management believes these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results. During the course of their evaluation, we did not discover any fraud involving management or any other personnel who played a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting.
Due to a lack of financial and personnel resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses. We will not be able to do so until, if ever, we acquire sufficient financing and staff to do so. We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permits. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended July 31, 2012, fairly presents our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods covered, as identified, in all material respects.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and intrinsic to our small size. Management also believes that these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results.
We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will, as soon as funds are available to the Company (1) appoint outside directors to our board of directors sufficient to form an audit committee and who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and to increase our personnel resources.
