DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Business Development
We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover. We have an option to acquire three unpatented mineral claims and own a 100% interest in 195 mineral claims located in Calvert, Montana (collectively the “Calvert Property”).
There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the Calvert Property. We do not have any current plans to acquire interests in additional mineral properties, although we may consider such acquisitions in the future.
Mineral property exploration is typically conducted in phases. Each phase of exploration work is recommended by a geologist based on the results from the most recent phase of exploration. We have not yet commenced the initial phase of exploration on the Calvert Property. Once we have completed each phase of exploration, we will make a decision as to whether or not we proceed with each successive phase based upon the analysis of the results of that program. Our Board of Directors will make this decision based upon the recommendations of the independent geologist who oversees the program and records the results.
Our plan of operation is to conduct exploration work on the Calvert Property in order to ascertain whether it possesses economic quantities of tungsten. There can be no assurance that an economic mineral deposit exists on the Calvert Property until appropriate exploration work is completed.
Even if we complete our proposed exploration programs on the Calvert Property and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit.
Calvert Property
On August 28, 2012, we entered into an Assignment Agreement dated August 21, 2012 with Mr. John M. Pulos whereby we acquired from Mr. Pulos an option to acquire an undivided 100% right, title and interest in and to three unpatented mineral claims spanning 60 acres, known as the Calvert Property, located in Calvert, Montana (the “Calvert Claims”). The Assignment Agreement assigns to us the option to acquire the Calvert Claims held by Mr. Pulos pursuant to a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) dated June 18, 2012 with Messrs Paul and Ted Antonioli (the “Optionors”). We paid $5,000 to Mr. Pulos in consideration of the assignment.
Effective October 1, 2012, we entered into a Property Option Agreement with the Optionors to clarify and confirm the rights and obligations of our company and the Optionors pursuant to the terms of the LOI. Pursuant to the terms of the Property Option Agreement we have the following obligations:
1.
The Optionor grants to us the sole and exclusive right and option to acquire up to an undivided 100% right, title and interest in and to the Calvert Claims, free and clear of all charges, encumbrances, claims, liabilities and adverse interests of any nature or kind, except for the NSR royalty referred to below.
2.
The option shall be exercisable by us by paying the following amounts to the Optionors:
·
$5,000 by June 18, 2012 (which amount has been paid by John M. Pulos on behalf of the Company);
·
$5,000 by October 1, 2012 (paid);

$50,000 by June 18, 2020;
·
$50,000 each subsequent year until an aggregate of $1,000,000 has been paid to Optionor.
3.
Upon commencement of commercial production on the Calvert Claims, we shall pay the Optionor a net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty equal to 2% of net smelter returns.
4.
We may, within 9 months after commencement of commercial production acquire one point eight percent (1.8% of the total 2%) of the NSR royalty from the Optionor for $1,500,000.
On October 9, 2012, we completed the registration and acquisition of 195 newly staked mineral claims located in Calvert, Montana. The claims were registered on behalf of the Company with the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, at a cost of $12,285. The claims span
approximately 3,900 acres and are contiguous with the Calvert Claims (collectively the “Calvert Property”).
Name Change and Share Consolidation
On July 19, 2012, our Board of Directors and majority shareholder approved a forward split of our shares on a 1:30 basis, increasing our authorized share capital from 75,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001 to 2,250,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001. A change of name to US Tungsten Corp. was also approved, the purpose of which was to better reflect the direction of our company. The name change and forward split were filed with the Nevada Secretary of State and were effective on August 9, 2012.
Staking Agreement
On January 31, 2013, we entered into an agreement with Dykes Geologic Systems Limited (“Dykes Geologic”) as a contractor for our Montana tungsten project. Under the agreement, Dykes Geologic will manage and control the staking of our claims in the Browne Lake and Greenstone areas of Montana. As consideration, we will pay to Dykes Geologic $27,500 for staking of the Browne Lake area, of which $25,000 has been advanced, with the balance due at completion. Once completed, and should our company wish to proceed with the staking of the Greenstone area we will be required to pay to Dykes Geologic $15,000. In addition, we provided for 100,000 shares of our common stock to Dykes Geologic, which are currently reflected in stock payable.
Letter of Credit
Effective February 2, 2013, we entered into a letter of credit with a non-US person wherein they will loan our company up to $1,000,000 by way of periodic advances at our request for a period of one year. The loan amounts will be convertible into shares of common stock of our company at a rate of $0.30 per common share and shall bear annual interest of 5% per annum. As at May 31, 2013 a total of $4,735 was charged to interest. As of the year ended May 31, 2013, we had received $326,000 and no stock has been issued.
Upon full conversion of the amount outstanding under the letter of credit, we will issue to Themis Partners a three year warrant to purchase up to an additional 2,000,000 restricted common shares at an exercise price of $0.80 per warrant share.
The Company has determined the value associated with the conversion feature in connection with the convertible note payable. The Company has determined the note, with a face value of $326,000, to have a beneficial conversion feature of $260,000. The beneficial conversion feature has been accreted and is being amortized over the life of the note (which is calendar year end December 31 for each year when the advance is received; being the proposed date of conversion). As at May 31, 2013, $87,033 had been amortized and expensed as interest. The beneficial conversion feature is valued under the intrinsic value method.

Properties
Calvert Property
The following is an excerpt from the Geological Report on the Calvert Tungsten Property, Beaverhead County, Montana dated March 20, 2013, prepared by Richard (Rick) T. Kemp, P.Geo. attached as an exhibit to our Form 8-K dated June 4, 2013 filed on June 6th, 2013.
The Calvert Property comprises 68 claims covering a total area of 1,404.88 acres.
Location
The Calvert Property is located in Beaverhead County located approximately 40 miles south west of Butte, Montana within Section 12, Township 1 North, Range 13 West.
Access
The Calvert Property is located approximately 40 miles to the south west of Butte Montana. The major towns in the area are connected by Federal and State Highways, and good gravel country roads serve the smaller towns and villages. Forest Service logging and mine access roads service the more remote areas. The Calvert Mine site is located approximately 11 miles northwest of the village of Wise River, located on an easterly flowing tributary of Bryant Creek at an elevation of approximately 7,100 feet. The Calvert Mine site can be reached by travelling 8 miles west from Wise River on Montana Highway 43 to the Big Hole River bridge, then left on Bryant Creek road for approximately 1.5 miles which leads directly to the historical workings of the Calvert Mine site. The road is not maintained in the winter or early spring, although access may be gained by 2 wheel drive vehicles during the summer months, 4 wheel drive vehicles are recommended during the spring and late fall.
Climate
The climate is classified as semiarid with cold dry winters and hot wetter summers. Temperatures range from about 83deg F in the summer months to 13.5deg F in the winter, dropping occasionally to record lows of -40deg F. The driest months of the year are July, August and September with occasional showers. Most of the region’s precipitation falls as snow between September and April; in the higher elevations, snow may not disappear until July. Snow accumulation can frequently reach 6 to 8 feet in depth.
Physiography and Local Resources
The Calvert Property is located in Beaverhead County with the county seat located in the town of Dillon. The county occupies 3.5 million acres of land that is a combination of river valleys and mountain peaks including the Continental Divide that essentially forms the western and southern county boundaries. Drainage to the west of the divide is to the Columbia River and on the east to the Missouri River. Several major valleys traverse the county including the Big Hole Valley, Beaverhead, Centennial, Lima, Prairie and Sweetwater. These valleys, most of which are above 5,000 feet in elevation, are encircled by mountain ranges including the Beaverhead, Pintler, Pioneer, Tendoy Centennials, Ruby and Blacktail. In the valley bottoms and basins there are a variety of soil types that host the substantial agricultural producers that are the backbone of the county economy. Winter and spring wheat, barley, oats and seed potatoes are major crops on irrigated lands. The county ranks first in the state in the production of livestock, mostly cattle and sheep.
The county’s major valleys contain rivers that are important sources of water for irrigation and for recreational fishing. The rivers and their tributaries are home to populations of cutthroat, rainbow and brown trout.
Wildlife resources are substantial and include grizzly bear, elk, white tail deer, mule deer, antelope, moose, big horn sheep, coyote, fox, wolverine, gray wolf, mountain lions and in some cases lynx. The Centennial Valley’s Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge encompasses 44,000 acres of land that is home to more than 250 bird species and 30 species of mammals.
Other important natural resources are timber, minerals and gemstones. Each of these resources has been an important part of the history of natural resources in the County. Gold has been mined in the area since 1862 and there are deposits of silver and tungsten and a range of other metals. Lodgepole pine and Douglas fir predominate on USFS lands within the County.
Infrastructure
The nearest community to the project area is the unincorporated community of Wise River, located approximately 40 miles to the southwest of Butte Montana. Wise River has a population of about 306 people (2012), the community has a country school, church, post office, two bars/cafés and a general store. The county seat is located in the town of Dillon with a population of 4,134 people (2010). The community provides banking and health care facilities, food and accommodations, grocery store outlets, an airport and post secondary education at the University of Montana-Western. The largest service centre in the area is the city of Butte Montana with a population of 34,200 people.
At the present time the Calvert Mine open pit is flooded to a depth of 70 feet. There is no infrastructure remaining on site. Historic milling of ores from the Calvert Mine were performed off site, waste rock was side cast down slope to the south of the open pit.
History and Development
Tungsten has been produced in Montana from numerous lode deposits and some alluvial deposits, in part in conjunction with the mining of gold. Until 1954 Montana’s tungsten output was insignificant.
In 1952, under the influence of the government buying program and government aid to exploration available through the Defense Minerals Exploration Administration, there was a great increase in the exploration of Montana tungsten deposits. Montana tungsten production between the period from 1954 to 1957 totaled 226,740 short ton units (1 short ton unit = 20 pounds WO3) and Montana became the fourth largest tungsten producing state. Production dropped rapidly at the termination of the Government
domestic stockpiling program in December 1956 and by the end of 1958 no tungsten mines were operating in Montana.
The Calvert Mine was discovered in 1956 by two prospectors, W.I. Ferguson and George Henderson, who located two Lode claims over the original discovery which later became the site of the Calvert Mine open pit.
In August 1956, Minerals Engineering Company of Grand Junction Colorado leased the property and started exploration work. A total of sixty (60) wagon drill holes averaging 80 feet in depth and forty (40) drill holes from 140 feet to 500 feet in depth were completed as well as surface trenching totaling several hundred feet in length. Additional mineral claims were located to cover the area of interest and road access to the site was developed.
Based on the information gained from the surface exploration and drilling programs, a production decision was made and by September 1956 open pit production began and continued through to August 1957 when the Government purchasing program for tungsten concentrates terminated. During this period, 92,837 tons of ore was mined averaging 1.09% WO3 (Table 1). The ore was shipped to the company concentrator facilities located at Glen, Montana.
Waste stripping operations resumed in September 1959 enlarging the open pit to 250 feet by 300 feet in area and deepened to 85 feet. Open pit mining operations resumed in 1960 through to early 1962 (Table 1).
Table 1: Historical Production (Source: Aro 1966). *1 unit of tungsten consists of 1% per ton of material. The system can be applied to both imperial and metric systems.
On June 1, 1966, Beaverhead Development Ventures and Minerals Engineering Company initiated a surface exploration program to evaluate the potential for developing additional reserves below the existing open pit. A diamond drilling program was developed to extend laterally and at depth the remaining reserves identified from previous mining operations and to evaluate the medium grade ore which had been exposed on surface to the northwest of the open pit boundary by trenching and limited drilling. The 1966 surface exploration program consisted of 22 - BX sized diamond drill holes totaling 3,318.5 feet and four excavated surface trenches totaling 132 feet in total length (Table 2). Of the 22 holes completed, 12 holes intersected ore grade intersections with widths varying from 0.8 feet to 55.0 feet. The remaining 10 drill holes intersected low grade intervals or waste. The surface exploration program was terminated on November 15, 1966.
Based on drill hole results to the end of 1966, a block of ore outlined at the bottom of the pit was estimated to extend 100 feet below the pit floor and further indications suggested the ore block would continue below 100 feet in the vein systems that formed the ore and in extensions of the known ore blocks. Recommendations were made to continue open pit operations to the 6990 ft elevation and ore below this level be mined through underground methods. Underground development would utilize a development drift collared at Calvert Creek at a bearing of N10E at 6900 feet elevation. The proposed drift would be 1200 feet in length to undercut the projected extension of the mineralized horizon below the base of the open pit.
Table 2: Historical Trenching results (Source: Aro 1966)
In 1967, an evaluation by Mining Geologist Norman E. Ebbley for Minerals Engineering Co. reviewed the various proposed mining methods for developing ore below the 6990 ft elevation and determined that the underground tunnel under development should be abandoned at its current position, 225 feet from the tunnel entrance due to difficult ground conditions. In his report Mr. Ebbley proposed several alternative mining methods and the associated costs for the extraction of the ore blocks defined below the bottom of the pit including the sinking of a shaft from surface, spiral berm stripping method and the utilization of a surface tram. Surface diamond drilling continued in 1967 evaluating extensions to the previously defined ore blocks below the open pit.
The US Bureau of Mines Mineral Yearbook for 1971 briefly describes the work completed by Minerals Engineering Co. at their Calvert Mine site in 1971. The summary of activities states that more than 2,500 feet of diamond drilling was completed in and adjacent to the Calvert Mine in December 1971. Seven of 10 core holes drilled in the mine intersected ore-grade material. A total of five (5) core holes were located adjacent to the mine, three of which located to the southeast did not encounter ore grade material. The remaining two (2) holes were located to the north-northeast of the mine intersecting high grade tungsten mineralization. Additional holes planned to follow up on these high grade intersections were delayed by heavy snows and further exploration would be delayed until the spring of 1972. This is the last exploration drill program documented on the property.
Geological Setting
Regional Geology
The Calvert area is part of the north western portion of the eastern Pioneer Mountains and is underlain by early Proterozoic crystalline rocks of the belt supergroup associated with roof pendants, thrust blocks of Mississippian to Cretaceous aged sediments and metavolcanics. The entire package has been intruded by Tertiary and late Cretaceous tonalites, granites and andesite dykes. The area lies on the northern edge of the Pioneer batholith, a composite granitic body of late Cretaceous to early Paleocene age that intruded the previously folded and faulted sediments.
Several of these faults have been re-activated over different ages. Two major Early Proterozoic rocks consist of various quartzites, metaquartzites and quartzofeldspathic gneiss. The younger sedimentary stratigraphy consists of limestone, mudstone, siltstone, quartzite and shale.
Structurally the region is dominated by low angle thrust faults that thrust older rocks over younger rocks and numerous northeast trending strike slip or tear faults that probably acted as pressure release thrust faults are identified within the local region ie the Foolhen thrust and the Calvert thrust.
The main units of interest from a tungsten exploration point of view are the late Cretaceous intrusions in contact with the Mississippian to lower Pennsylvanian calcareous sediments and limestone. These units form a narrow northwest trending belt that parallel the regional structures and make an excellent target for additional exploration.
Local Geology and Mineralization
The Calvert property is underlain by strongly faulted and brecciated zones within the Paleozoic sediments of the Amsden and Quadrant formations where they have been intruded by Cretaceous quartz monzonite/tonalite from the Foolhen intrusions. Blocks are separated by thrust faults and north-east trending strike slip faults. The Amsden formation consists primarily of limestone as well as mudstone, siltstone and fine grained sandstone rich horizons. The Quadrant formation consists of mainly quartzite and sandstone sediments. The stratigraphy strikes generally northwest with dips from -40 to -45degrees to the south east. Local folding and contorted stratigraphy are evident.
The Calvert Mine ore body is described as being irregular in shape and approximately 200 feet in diameter which plunges to the southeast at approximately -55deg. A smaller ore body is exposed in a pit located to the east of the main workings. The Calvert ore body was mined to the 7040 ft elevation, a vertical distance from the original outcrop surface of 170 feet.
Mineralization consists of pyrometasomatic replacement zones in the Amsden formation, where the Cretaceous intrusions cut and intermix with the limestone stratigraphy. Breccia zones show evidence of irregularly mixing between the intrusive and the country rock. General consensus is that the mineralization occurs as the result of deep seated fluids being brought into contact with the sediments and limestones of the Amsden Formation.
Scheelite is the primary ore mineral for tungsten found within variations of the metasomatic host rocks. Local workers call the ore bearing material tactite, which is a variable garnet, epidote, chlorite, magnetite calc silicate or possible skarn. A field examination by US Tungsten Co representative reveals that the deposit appears zoned both in mineralogy and economic minerals. Copper in the form of chalcopyrite and its oxides are noted around the edges of the deposit which is not an uncommon feature noted at similar type deposits in the area.
Mineralogy varies from low to high temperature assemblages with higher temperature garnetepidote- pyroxene minerals located towards the center of the deposit which grades outward to low temperature garnet epidote chlorite. High temperature assemblages are recognizable by the deep red to brown garnets, while the lower temperature assemblages are identified by the green variety. The various ore types hosting Scheelite mineralization described at the Calvert Mine site are as follows:
Garnet-Epidote: Consists of mainly garnet and epidote with a distinctive brown and green coloration with minor associated sulphides. Generally rich in Scheelite.
Chlorite-Magnetite: Consists almost entirely of chlorite and magnetite. Generally rich in Scheelite and more common to the upper limits of the ore zone.
Quartz-Scheelite: Veins of quartz hosting large crystals of Scheelite > 2 inches in size. The walls of the quartz veins are typically rich in crystalline epidote. Not prevalent in the upper portions of the ore zone.
Chlorite-Scheelite: Veins consisting entirely of chlorite and disseminated crystals of Scheelite.
Quartz Monzonite: Both altered and unaltered quartz monzonite is mineralized with Scheelite to the extent it is commercial ore.
The occurrence of cassiterite, wolframite and beryl within the deposit attests to its deep seated origin.
Recommendations
In the past, exploration programs were directed towards the development of the Calvert Mine deposit with little work being completed outside of the main mineralized zone. A small portion of this work evaluated the projected extension of the Calvert Mine ore zone to depth and this has resulted in a proven and possible reserve. The characteristics of the Calvert Mine mineralization will aid future exploration programs towards the development of additional reserves both along strike and down plunge. The association of magnetite with scheelite mineralization and the density of the Tactite body may be amenable to geophysical survey methods for tracing the tactite body along strike and to depth. The association between the Amsden limestone formation and the Late Cretaceous intrusive defines a corridor for prospective mineralization and well focused exploration campaigns. Mineral and metal zoning patterns may prove useful in directing exploration efforts toward zones of higher grade mineralization.
Future exploration efforts should be directed towards verifying the historical insitu reserves and their potential extension to depth and down plunge to the east. A regional exploration program along the potential contact horizon of the Amsden Formation with the Late Cretaceous intrusives will evaluate the potential for discovering additional reserves along strike.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-looking statements
This report contains "forward-looking statements" relating to us which represent our current expectations or beliefs, including statements concerning our operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any statement contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "anticipation", "intend", "could", "estimate", or "continue" or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel and variability of quarterly results, our ability to continue our growth strategy and competition, certain of which are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in our audited financial statements for the period ended May 31, 2013.
Plan of Operation
As at May 31, 2013, we had a cash balance of $121,849, compared to $459 as at May 31, 2012. Our plan of operation for the twelve months is to complete the geologist recommended work on the Calvert Property, consisting of verifying the historical insitu reserves and a regional exploration program to evaluate the potential for discovering additional reserves along strike. We estimate that the cost of this program will be approximately $100,000.
In addition, we anticipate spending approximately $150,000 on administrative expenses, including fees payable in connection with the filing of our annual and quarterly reports and complying with reporting obligations.
Utilizing the letter of credit, we believe that we have sufficient funds to cover the anticipated administrative expenses and work program over the next 12 months.
However, we anticipate that we will require additional funding to continue to develop and explore the Calvert Property and to cover our administrative expenses. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or from director loans. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing or loans.
Our current cash on hand will not be sufficient to acquire any new assets, should we desire to do so, and additional funds will be required to close any possible acquisition. As a reporting company we will need to maintain our periodic filings with the appropriate regulatory authorities and will incur legal and accounting costs. If no other such opportunities are available and we cannot raise additional capital to sustain minimum operations, we may be forced to discontinue business. We do not have any specific alternative business opportunities in mind and have not planned for any such contingency.
Based on the nature of our business, we anticipate incurring operating losses in the foreseeable future. We base this expectation, in part, on the fact that very few mineral claims in the exploration stage ultimately develop into producing, profitable mines. Our future financial results are also uncertain due to a number of factors, some of which are outside our control. These factors include the following:
·
our ability to raise additional funding;
·
the market price for minerals that may be found on the Calvert Property;
·
the results of our proposed exploration programs on the Calvert property; and
·
our ability to find joint venture partners for the development of our property interests
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Results of Operations
We had no operating revenues during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 or for the year ended May 31, 2012. Since our inception on January 10, 2007 through May 31, 2013, we earned no revenues and have incurred operating expenses in the amount of $969,723 for the same period. Our activities have been financed from the proceeds of share subscriptions, related party loans and a letter of credit.
For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, general and administrative expenses were $64,166, compared to $24,747 for the year ended May 31, 2012; legal and accounting expenses were $31,589, compared to $13,500 for the year ended May 31, 2012; and management fees were $22,500, compared to $Nil for the year ended May 31, 2012; exploration expenses were $15,057, compared to $Nil for the year ended May 31, 2012; amortization was $444, compared to $Nil for the year ended May 31, 2012. During the year ended May 31, 2013, we also incurred stock based compensation of $586,184, compared to $Nil for the year ended May 31, 2012. Interest expense of $91,768 was incurred for the year ended May 31, 2013 as compared to $Nil for the year ended May 31, 2012.
For the period from inception on January 10, 2007 through May 31, 2013, general and administrative expenses were $142,061, legal and accounting expenses were $98,198, management fees were $22,500, impairment on mineral claim was $13,512, amortization was $444 and stock based compensation was $586,184. Interest expense was $91,768.
During our fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, we incurred a net loss of $811,708, which resulted in an accumulated deficit of $969,723.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We have expensed all development costs related to our establishment.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash of $121,849 as of May 31, 2013, compared to a cash position of $459 at May 31, 2012. As of the year ended May 31, 2013, we have raised $27,000 through private placements of our common shares and we have received advances from a related party of $106,580 and repaid a loan from a related party of $122,000. We also received $326,000 proceeds from a letter of credit.
We expect to run at a loss for the foreseeable future. Other than the letter of credit for up to $1,000,000, we have no agreements for additional financing and cannot provide any assurance that additional funding will be available to finance our operations on acceptable terms in order to enable us to complete our plan of operations. There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our exploration of our mineral claims and our venture will fail.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
US Tungsten, Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of US Tungsten, Corp. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of May 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 and from inception (January 10, 2007) to May 31, 2013. US Tungsten, 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 US Tungsten, Corp. as of May 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from inception (January 10, 2007) to May 31, 2013 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 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1:
Business and History
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 10, 2007. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company as defined by Guide 7 of the Securities Exchange Commission’s Industry Guide and FASB ASC 915 “Development Stage Entities”. The Company has begun investigating prospective tungsten opportunities. On July 19, 2012, the Company approved a name change to US Tungsten Corp. to better reflect its business direction.
The Company is devoting all of its present efforts to securing and establishing new business and its planned principal operations have not commenced. Accordingly, no revenue has been derived during the organization period. The Company has experienced recurring losses and has an accumulated deficit of ($969,723) as of May 31, 2013 and has working capital deficit of ($107,096) and ($130,016) as at May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012 respectively.
Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital. Management intends to raise additional funding in the form of equity financing from the sale of common stock and/or obtain short-term loans from the directors of the Company. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company’s liquidity problems, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favorable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures.
At May 31, 2013, the Company was not engaged in a business and had suffered losses from exploration stage activities to date. Although management is currently attempting to implement its business plan, and is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful. Accordingly, the Company must rely on its president to perform essential functions with minimal compensation until a business operation can be commenced. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the company cannot continue in existence.
Note 2:
Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements.
Basis of presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to exploration stage enterprises, and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is May 31.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Note 2:
Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
Mineral property costs
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on January 10, 2007 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. In accordance with FASB ASC 932 “Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas”, costs incurred to purchase or acquire a property (whether proved or unproved reserves) shall be capitalized when incurred. This includes acquisition costs associated with mineral claims. When a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves, currently no property has reached the production stage. When the Company has capitalized mineral properties, these properties will be periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value.
Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, 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.
Environmental expenditures
The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future, be affected from time to time, in varying degrees, by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs. Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable. The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation, by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under FASB ASC 360-10-35-17, if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable. When the Company determines that an impairment analysis should be done, the analysis will be performed using the rules of FASB ASC 930-360-35, Asset Impairment, and 360-10 through 15-5, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.

Note 2:
Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
Income taxes
Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.
Stock-based compensation
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 505 and 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached by the FASB ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-50.
Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of May 31, 2013 and May 31, 2012. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, prepaid expenses and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
Level 1: The preferred inputs to valuation efforts are “quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities,” with the caveat that the reporting entity must have access to that market. Information at this level is based on direct observations of transactions involving the same assets and liabilities, not assumptions, and thus offers superior reliability. However, relatively few items, especially physical assets, actually trade in active markets.

Note 2:
Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
Fair value of financial instruments - (continued)
Level 2: FASB acknowledged that active markets for identical assets and liabilities are relatively uncommon and, even when they do exist, they may be too thin to provide reliable information. To deal with this shortage of direct data, the board provided a second level of inputs that can be applied in three situations.
Level 3: If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measures of many assets and liabilities are less precise. The board describes Level 3 inputs as “unobservable,” and limits their use by saying they “shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.” This category allows “for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date”. Earlier in the standard, FASB explains that “observable inputs” are gathered from sources other than the reporting company and that they are expected to reflect assumptions made by market participants.
Basic and diluted net loss per share
The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for the earnings per share. Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Concentrations of credit risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash and accounts payable. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits.
Risks and uncertainties
The Company operates in the resource exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with operating a resource exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.

Website Development Costs
Costs incurred in developing and maintaining a website are charged to expense when incurred for the planning, content population, and administration or maintenance of the website. All development costs for the application, infrastructure, and graphics development are capitalized and subsequently reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line basis over a three year estimated economic life of the product.
Asset Retirement Obligation
The Company follows ASC 410, Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations, which requires that an asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset be recognized as a liability in the period in which it is incurred and becomes determinable, with an offsetting increase in the carrying amount of the associated asset. The cost of the tangible asset, including the initially recognized ARO, is depleted, such that the cost of the ARO is recognized over the useful life of the asset. The ARO is recorded at fair value, and accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liability is accreted to its expected settlement value. The fair value of the ARO is measured using expected future cash flow, discounted at the Company’s credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate

Note 5:
Mineral Claim
Pursuant to a mineral property purchase agreement dated February 26, 2007, the Company acquired a 100% undivided right, title and interest in a mineral claim, located in the Alberni Mining Division of British Columbia, Canada for a cash payment of $5,129 and delivery of a geological report. The Company has paid an additional $6,098 for a geological report and $2,285 in Mineral right renewal fees. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred. When a property reaches the production stage, the related capitalized costs will be amortized, using the units of production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves, currently no property has reached the production stage. When the Company has capitalized mineral properties, these properties will be periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value. During the year ended May 31, 2011, the Company evaluated the mineral claim and determined that the asset has been impaired because the Company could not project any future cash flows or salvage value and the asset was not recoverable. Consequently, the Company has recorded an impairment loss for the full amount of $13,512 for the year ended May 31, 2011.

The Company has the right to purchase up to 1.8% of the Net Value Royalty for $1,500,000.
On October 9, 2012 the Company completed the registration and acquisition of 195 newly staked mineral claims located in Calvert, Montana. The claims were registered on behalf of the Company with the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, at a cost of $12,285. The claims span approximately 3,900 acres and are contiguous with the three claims that constitute the Company’s recently optioned Calvert Property. The newly acquired claims will form part of the Calvert Property for the purposes of that Option Agreement and will be subject to a 2% net smelter royalty.
On January 31, 2013 the Company entered into an agreement to stake additional claims in Montana. The Company has advanced $25,000 to stake additional mineral claims located in Calvert, Montana. Once completed, and should our company wish to proceed with the staking of the Greenstone area we will be required to pay to Dykes Geologic $15,000. The Company also has an obligation to issue 100,000 shares as part of the acquisition which has been valued at $42,000 and accrued as stock payable.
On June 6, 2013, the Company filed its geological report on the Property in an 8K.

Note 11: Income Taxes
From the Company’s inception (January 10, 2007) through the year ended May 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred net operating losses and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. As of May 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had approximately $296,507 and $158,016 of federal and state operating losses. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2031.
The components of the Company’s deferred tax asset are as follows:
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of May 31, 2013 and 2012 was $103,778 and $55,306, respectively. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized as of May 31, 2013 and 2012, and recorded a full valuation allowance.
Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as follows at May 31:
