FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



This Annual Report on Form 20-F and exhibits attached hereto contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Canadian securities laws.  Such forward-looking statements concern the Companys plans for its properties, operations and other matters. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.  Statements concerning estimates of mineral resources and reserves may also be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent that they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be encountered if the property is developed, and in the case of mineral reserves, such statements reflect the conclusion based on certain assumptions that the mineral deposit can be economically exploited.  Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as expects or does not expect, is expected, anticipates or does not anticipate, plans, estimates or intends, or stating that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, might or will be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements, including, without limitation:

·

risks related to continuing as a going concern and possible failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms;

·

political and regulatory risks associated with mining and exploration;

·

risks related to the maintenance of exchange listings;

·

risks related to environmental regulation and liability;

·

risks related to the potential for delays in exploration or development activities;

·

risks related to the uncertainty of profitability based upon the Companys history of losses;

·

risks and uncertainties relating to the interpretation of drill results, the geology, grade and continuity of mineral deposits;

·

risks related to the inherent uncertainty of production and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses;

·

results of prefeasibility and feasibility studies, and the possibility that future exploration, development or mining results will not be consistent with the Companys expectations;

·

risks related to gold price and other commodity price fluctuations etc.



This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our forward-looking statements. Some of the important risks and uncertainties that could affect forward-looking statements are described in this Annual Report as Item 3.D under the heading Description of Business  Risk Factors. Should one or more of these risks and uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made based on managements beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made. Investors are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward-looking statements.

Risks Associated with Mineral Exploration



Mineral exploration is highly speculative and has certain inherent risks which could have a negative effect on the Company

Mineral exploration is a speculative business, characterized by a number of significant risks including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the failure to discover mineral deposits but from finding mineral deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to return a profit from production.  The marketability of minerals acquired or discovered by the Company may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond the control of the Company and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of milling facilities, mineral markets and processing equipment, and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to royalties, allowable production, importing and exporting of minerals, and environment protection, the combination of which factors may result in the Company not receiving an adequate return on investment capital.



Due to the speculative nature of mineral property exploration, there is substantial risk that no commercially viable mineral deposits will be found on our Dotted Lake-Lampson Lake Property or other mineral properties that we acquire.

In order for us to even commence mining operations we face a number of challenges which include finding qualified professionals to conduct our exploration program, obtaining adequate financing to continue our exploration program, locating a viable mineral body, partnering with a senior mining company, obtaining mining permits, and ultimately selling minerals in order to generate revenue.  Moreover, exploration for commercially viable mineral deposits is highly speculative in nature and involves substantial risk that no viable mineral deposits will be located on any of our present or future mineral properties.  There is a substantial risk that the exploration program we plan to conduct on the Dotted Lake-Lampson Lake project may not result in the discovery of any significant mineralization, and therefore no commercially viable mineral deposit. There are numerous geological features that we may encounter that would limit our ability to locate mineralization or that could interfere with our exploration programs as planned, resulting in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we may incur significant costs associated with an exploration program, without any benefit. This would likely result in a decrease in the value of our common stock.



If we are unable to prove that a mineral reserve exists on our mineral property interests, our business may fail.

The business of exploring minerals and mining involves a high degree of risk. Few mineral properties that are explored ultimately develop into producing mines. At present, our mineral properties have no known commercial ore body. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of ore.



Substantial expenditures are required for us to establish ore reserves through drilling, to develop metallurgical processes, to extract the metal from the ore and, in the case of new properties, to develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at a chosen mining site.



It is unknown whether we will discover minerals in sufficient quantities to justify commercial operations or that we can obtain the funds required for development on a timely basis. The probability of an individual mineral exploration prospect ever containing reserves is extremely remote. It is unlikely that our mineral properties contain reserves, so any funds expended on the property will most likely be lost.

Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk against which we are not currently insured. If an environmental liability was incurred, it may irreparably harm our business.

Unusual or unexpected rock formations, formation pressures, fires, power outages, labor disruptions, flooding, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor are risks involved in the operation of mines and the conduct of exploration programs.



It is not always possible to fully insure against such risks and we may decide not to take out insurance against such risks as a result of high premiums or other reasons. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of our common stock. We do not currently maintain insurance against environmental risks relating to our mineral property interests.



If title to our mineral property interests is disputed, we may lose our business assets and our business may fail.

Our mineral property interests may be subject to prior unregistered agreements or transfers or aboriginal land claims and title may be affected by undetected defects. There is a risk that the property boundaries could be challenged. In such circumstances, we will incur costs defending our title to our mineral property interests and may lose our interest in the claims, causing our business to fail. The Company has investigated and believes it has good title to its properties. However, there is no guarantee that adverse claims to title will not arise in the future, nor can the Company express an opinion on how difficult the resolution of such claims would be.



The legal nature of aboriginal land claims, in particular, is a matter of considerable complexity.  The impact of any such claim on our ownership interest in our properties cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty and no assurance can be given that a broad recognition of aboriginal rights in the area in which the properties optioned by us are located, by way of a negotiated settlement or judicial pronouncement, would not have an adverse effect on our activities.  Even in the absence of such recognition, we may at some point be required to negotiate with first nations in order to facilitate exploration and development work on the properties optioned by us.



We may require permits and licenses that we may not be able to obtain. If we are unable to obtain such permits and licenses, our business plan will fail.

Our current or future operations, including exploration and development activities and the commencement and continuation of commercial production, require licenses, permits or other approvals from various federal, provincial and/or local governmental authorities and such operations are or will be governed by laws and regulations relating to prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health and safety, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, water use, environmental protection, aboriginal land claims and other matters.



We believe that we are in substantial compliance with all material laws and regulations which currently apply to our activities.  There can be no assurance, however, that we will obtain on reasonable terms or at all the permits and approvals, and the renewals thereof, which we may require for the conduct of our current or future operations or that compliance with applicable laws, regulations, permits and approvals will not have an adverse effect on any mining project which the Issuer may undertake.  Possible changes to mineral tax legislation and, regulations could cause additional expenses, capital expenditures, restrictions and delay on the Issuers planned exploration and operations, the extent of which cannot be predicted.

Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions.  Parties engaged in mining operations may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.



We will be required to obtain work permits from the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines for any subsequent exploration work that results in a physical disturbance to the land if the program calls for the disturbance of more than 10,000 square meters of the property surface, or such areas that would total that amount when combined. A work permit is also required for the erection of structures on the property. There is no charge to obtain a work permit under the Mining Act.



In conducting exploration on our mineral property interests, we will be subject to environmental regulations. In addition, our operations may be adversely affected by changes in environmental regulations. A significant change in such regulations may prevent us from proceeding with our business plan.

Our operations are subject to environmental regulations promulgated by government agencies from time to time. Environmental legislation provides for restrictions and prohibitions on spills, release or emissions of various substances produced in association with certain mining industry operations, such as seepage from tailings disposal areas, which would result in environmental pollution. A breach of such legislation may result in the imposition of fines and penalties. In addition, certain types of operations require the submission and approval of environmental impact assessments. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which means that standards, enforcement, fines and penalties for non-compliance are more stringent. Environmental assessments of proposed projects carry a heightened degree of responsibility for us and our directors, officers and consultants. The cost of compliance with changes in governmental regulations has a potential to reduce the profitability of our operations. We do not maintain environmental liability insurance.



When our exploration program on our mineral property interests proceeds to the drilling stage, we may be required to post small bonds if the rights of a private land owner may be affected. We may also be required to file statements of work with the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines. We will also be required to undertake remediation work on any exploration that results in physical disturbance to the land. The cost of remediation work will vary according to the degree of physical disturbance.



Precious metal prices fluctuate widely. A decrease in these prices may prevent us from raising the capital necessary to continue our business plan in the future. As well, low prices will reduce the value of any reserve we discover on our mineral property interests.

Factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any precious metals we discover. Metal prices have fluctuated widely, particularly in recent years. Our ability to raise capital for continuing exploration of our mineral property interests depends to a large degree on the market price for metals generally, as well as for gold in particular. In addition, the value of any reserve we discover on the Dotted Lake-Lampson Lake properties will fluctuate depending on current metal prices. Low metal prices may make it uneconomical to commence production on our mineral property interests, if a reserve is established, of which there is no guarantee.

The resource industry is very competitive. The competitive nature of the business may increase our cost of operations and prevent us from obtaining interests in additional mineral properties.

The resource industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. We compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities than us for the acquisition of mineral concessions, claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified employees.



Risks Relating to the Financing of the Company



We have a history of losses. Our inability to achieve profitability will negatively impact any investment in our shares.

We have incurred losses in our business operations since inception, and we expect that we will continue to incur losses in the foreseeable future. From March 31, 1988, the date of incorporation, to January 31, 2016, we have incurred losses totaling $4,063,045 under IFRS. Very few junior resource companies ever become profitable. Failure to achieve and maintain profitability may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.



Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, and if we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail.

As at January 31, 2016, we had a cash balance of $553. Our financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  As at January 31, 2016, the Company had not advanced any of its properties to commercial production and is not able to finance day-to-day activities through operations. The Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the successful results from its mineral property exploration activities; its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds therefrom; and its ability to raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with cash on hand, loans from directors and companies controlled by directors, and/or private placement of common shares. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts presented on its Statement of Financial Position.



If we are unable to generate revenue or raise financing, our business may fail.

We have limited financial resources, no source of operating cash flow and no commitments for additional financing to fund further exploration of our mineral property interests. Failure to obtain this financing could result in delay or indefinite postponement of further exploration and ultimately the failure of our business.

| |        | 
| |        | 



General economic conditions could have a negative impact on our business.

Ongoing volatility in global financial markets has had a profound impact on the global economy.  Many industries, including the precious metal and base metal mining industries, are impacted by these market conditions.  Some of the key impacts of the current financial market turmoil include contraction in credit markets resulting in a widening of credit risk, devaluations and high volatility in global equity, commodity, foreign exchange and precious metal markets, and a lack of market liquidity.  A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates, and tax rates may adversely affect our growth and profitability. Specifically:

·

a global credit/liquidity crisis could impact the cost and availability of financing and our overall liquidity;

·

the volatility of the gold price may impact our future revenues, profits and cash flow;

·

volatile energy prices, commodity and consumables prices and currency exchange rates impact potential production costs; and

·

the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets impacts the valuation of our equity securities, which may impact our ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity.



These factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.



We may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce investors percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.

Our Memorandum (charter document) authorized the issuance of an unlimited number of common shares.  As of May 27, 2016, the Company had 44,633,171 common shares outstanding.  We may issue an unlimited number of additional common shares.  The future issuance of common shares may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common shares held by our then existing shareholders.  We may value any common shares issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common shares for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common shares.



Currency fluctuations may increase our costs of doing business.

The Company's offices and primary activities are currently located in Canada and commodities are sold in international markets at prices denominated in US dollars. However, some of the costs associated with the Company's activities in Canada may be denominated in currencies other than the US dollar.  Any appreciation of these currencies vis-a-vis the US dollar could increase the Company's cost of doing business in these countries.  In addition, the US dollar is subject to fluctuation in value vis-a-vis the Canadian dollar.  The Company does not utilize hedging programs to mitigate the effect of currency movements.

Risks Relating to an Investment in the Securities of the Company



We rely on the technical and financial skills and contributions of our management team, the loss of any one of which may adversely impact our business.

Our success will be largely dependent, in part, on the services of our senior management and directors whose contributions include both technical and financial skills and assistance.  We have not purchased any key man insurance, nor have we entered into any non-competition or non-disclosure agreements with any of our directors, officers or key employees and have no current plans to do so.  We may hire consultants and others for geological and technical expertise but there is no guarantee that we will be able to retain personnel with sufficient technical expertise to carry out the future development of our mineral properties.



Some of our directors are or will be directors of other companies, which could result in conflicts of interest.

Certain of our directors, officers and other members of management do, and may in the future, serve as directors, officers, promoters and members of management of other companies and, therefore, it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties as a director, officer, promoter or member of our management team and their duties as a director, officer, promoter or member of management of such other companies.  Our directors and officers are aware of the laws governing accountability of directors and officers for corporate opportunity and the requirement of directors to disclose conflicts of interest.  We will rely upon these laws in respect of any directors and officers conflicts of interest or in respect of any breaches of duty by any of our directors or officers.



Enforcement of US legal process may be difficult.



All members of our Board of Directors and management reside in Canada and our address for service is a Canadian address. Accordingly, investors will not be able to:

|ii)  | enforce judgments obtained in United States courts against us based upon the civil liability provisions of the United States securities law; or
|iii) | enforce United States court judgments based upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities law.                   



However, investors may commence original actions against us, our directors and officers and our experts in British Columbia courts. However, as our sole mineral property asset is located in Ontario, additional legal proceedings would need to be commenced in that province in order to satisfy any judgment.



Investors may not be able to seek judgment in British Columbia or Ontario if the court determines that it is unable to rule in a matter that involves determinations respecting United States securities laws. In such circumstances, investors would be prevented from obtaining judgment that is enforceable against us.



As we are incorporated pursuant to the laws of British Columbia, duties of our directors and officers, and the ability of shareholders to initiate a lawsuit on our behalf, are governed by the British ColumbiaBusiness Corporations Act.

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common shares, our shareholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business.  We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.  Unless we pay dividends, our shareholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. There is no assurance that shareholders will be able to sell shares when desired.



Our securities are subject to penny stock regulation, which may impede an investors ability to purchase our common shares.

The price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share and is subject to "penny stock" regulation. "Penny stock" rules impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with a spouse). For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the "penny stock" rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our shares of common stock. The market price of our shares would likely suffer as a result.



As a Foreign Private Issuer, the Company is exempt from the Section 14 Proxy Rules and Section 16 of the 1934 Securities Act

The submission of proxy and annual meeting of shareholder information (prepared to Canadian standards) on Form 6-K may result in shareholders having less complete and timely data.  The exemption from Section 16 rules regarding sales of common shares by insiders may result in shareholders having less data.

Description of Business



The Company is a Vancouver-based junior mineral exploration company engaged in the business of mineral exploration of properties in Canada. No revenue has been generated since inception and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our exploration and evaluation assets. Further exploration is required before a final evaluation of the economic feasibility can be determined. Significant financing and considerable time and effort will be required before our mineral claims can be further explored and, if warranted, developed into a commercial enterprise.



We currently hold a 100% interest in 9 claims in the Thunder Bay Mining District of North Central Ontario, known as the Dotted Lake-Lampson Lake Property (the Property). During the first quarter of fiscal 2016 ended January 31, 2016, we completed a reconfiguration plan for the property which included a claims reduction.



We have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings, nor have we been a party to any material reclassification, merger, consolidation, purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets.



The material events in development of the Companys current business over the past seven fiscal years to the date of this Annual Report are summarized as follows:



·

In October 2009, the Company expanded its holdings in the Dotted Lake Property to a 100% interest in a total of ten claims of 82 units by staking.  Shortly thereafter, a new soil sampling program commenced in accordance with the report dated August 5, 2008.



·

On May 13, 2010, the Company announced the closing of a non-brokered private placement of 30,000,000 units at a price of $0.05 per unit for gross proceeds of $1,500,000 before share issue costs.  Each unit was comprised of one common share and one non-transferable share purchase warrant, each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share at a price of $0.10 per share for two years from the date of closing.  Proceeds of the private placement were used for repayment of related party loans, exploration expenditures on the Original Dotted Lake Property, on-going operating expenses and general working capital purposes.



·

On April 20, 2010, the Company entered into an exclusive Option Agreement with certain Ontario prospectors to acquire a 100% undivided interest in two claims adjacent to the Dotted Lake Property, known as the Lampson Lake Property, subject to certain royalty interests when and if future revenue is generated.  Exercise of the Option required the Company to pay a total of $60,000 to the vendors over a period of three years.



| |        | 
| | ------ | 
| | - 14 - | 
| |        | 
| |        | 



·

On November 30, 2010, the Companys independent consulting geologists completed a revised NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report, detailing all work completed on the Dotted Lake Property to date and recommendations for further exploration work.



·

In February 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to defer $39,676 in debt owed to a professional advisor which was been converted from a short term to a long term liability.  This amount is unsecured and non-interest bearing due after July 31, 2013 but to date there has been no demand for repayment.



·

On August 28, 2012, the Company announced the closure of two private placements, one brokered and the other non-brokered. The brokered private placement raised $829,000 (3,316,000 Units) through Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the Agent) and the non-brokered private placement raised $188,000 (752,000 Units) for combined gross proceeds of $1,017,000 (4,068,000 units).  Each unit of the Company was sold for $0.25 consisting of one common share and one transferable share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share of the Company at a price of $0.40 per share for a period of one year from the date of closing. Share issuance costs of $174,206 were incurred in relation to the brokered private placement.



The net proceeds of the financings were used to eliminate the working capital deficiency; to meet obligations under the Lampson Lake option agreement; and to meet its on-going operating requirements.



·

On August 30, 2012, the Companys common shares commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol ROU.



·

On September 4, 2012, the Company paid $9,246 with respect to staking of 6 additional claims contiguous to the Dotted Lake claims bringing the total number of claims owned by the Issuer to 18, including the two Lampson Lake claims under option.



·

On October 3, 2012, an assessment report was completed by the independent consulting geologists detailing results of a soil sampling and prospecting program conducted on 5 of the 6 additional claims staked prior to September 4, 2012.



·

On March 1, 2013 pursuant to the Lampson Lake Option Agreement, the Optionors agreed to split the final payment of $25,000 into two equal amounts of $12,500, the first payable on April 20, 2013 and the second payable on April 20, 2014. The final payment was made per the revised schedule on April 20, 2014.



·

In May 2015, the Company completed a claims reconfiguration plan of its Dotted Lake-Lampson Lake Property designed to focus entirely on claims of merit in the area. As a result, the number of claims were reduced from 18 to 9. The total cost was $11,400, of which $7,000 was paid during the current year ended January 31, 2016. The Company also recorded a one-time non-cash $31,500 impairment of its exploration and evaluation assets for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2015.



| |        |

·

On May 10, 2016, the Company announced that Peter Leitch, David Whelan and Larry Copeland had been appointed to the Company's board of directors and the Company had appointed Peter Leitch as Chief Executive Officer and Melinda Coghill as Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary.  Jim Burns, Steven Chan, Darcy Krell, David Mark, Ronald McGregor and Linda Smith have resigned from the board.



The Company also entered into a Corporate Administrative Services Agreement with Fiore Administration Services Corp. to provide the Company with corporate administrative services, and a Financial Advisory and Consulting Services Agreement with Fiore Management & Advisory Corp. to provide financial advice and consulting services.



In addition, 2,500,000 incentive stock options were granted to directors, officers, consultants and charitable organizations at a price of $0.05 per share, exercisable until May 10, 2026, subject to TSX-V approval.



Since the Company is in the exploration stage, it has no current revenues nor has it earned any since inception. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our Mineral Property Interests. Further exploration is required before a final evaluation of the economic feasibility can be determined. Significant additional financing and considerable time will be required before our mineral claims can be explored and, if warranted, developed into a commercial enterprise.



4.B

Mineral Property Interests



The Company currently has an interest in one mineral exploration property. The Dotted Lake-Lampson Lake Property (the Property) consists of 9 claims located in the Thunder Bay Mining District in North-Central Ontario, Canada. The Company has a 100% interest in the property, subject to a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) on one claim and a total NSR of 3% on a second claim.



The Property is located in the southeast part of the Black River Area Township and the southwest corner of the Olga Lake Township within the Thunder Bay Mining Division of Northwestern Ontario, Canada. The Property lies 45 km south of the town of Manitouwadge and now comprises 4,040 acres oriented approximately east-west, 8.5 km long by roughly 2 km wide in an irregular shape.



The project is at the exploration stage and currently does not contain proven mineral reserves.

Dotted Lake-Lampson Lake Property Claim Map



[rouge2016_20fannualfinal003.gif]



The original Dotted Lake Property claim was staked in 2001 and then re-staked in March 2003. In 2009, the Company expanded the property by staking 9 additional claims. In 2010, the Company entered an option agreement with local prospectors to acquire 100% of the Lampson Lake claims consisting of 2 claims adjacent to the Dotted Lake Property by making option payments totaling $60,000 over four years. The final payment was made on April 20, 2014 and the Company has a 100% interest in the Lampson Lake claims subject to a 2% NSR payable to the original optionors on both claims and an additional 1% NSR payable to Ontario Exploration Company (OEC) on the second claim for any precious metals recovered from the claims. The Company can buy 1% of the NSR from the optionors for $1,000,000, and can buy back 3⁄4 of the 1% NSR from OEC over 10 years on an increasing scale from $15,000 to $750,000.



During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company completed a reconfiguration plan for the property. The intention was to focus on areas of the property with the greatest exploration potential. All claims of merit in good standing as at year ended January 31, 2014 were allowed to lapse when due, then modified and re-staked or partially re-staked during the period January 15 to May 5, 2015. The modification and re-staking was performed at a much lower cost than the required assessment work to maintain the original claims. All of these new claims are in good standing now until January, March and May, 2017, as indicated in Table No. 3 below



The information in Table No. 3 was prepared by the Company from updated on-line information provided by the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines.

|(iii) | 2 claims optioned by the Issuer on April 20, 2010, known as the Lampson Lake Property with final option payment made on April 20, 2014, were allowed to lapse when due then substantially re-staked in May 2015 at much lower cost than assessment work otherwise required.



Since staking the original claims in 2003, the Company has been slowly advancing the exploration work on the Property to determine potential of the ground which lies in an underexplored area of the Schrieber-Hemlo greenstone belt, host to the Hemlo Gold deposit.



Exploration work to date has included airborne and ground geophysics in 2005, soil sampling in 2008 and 2009, and prospecting/ trenching in 2010. Additional soil sampling/prospecting was conducted on five of the six new claims acquired during year ended January 31, 2013. The soil sampling programs completed in 2008 and 2009 were intended to evaluate the property for further mineralization and potentially to expand on the known zinc mineralization at the Fairservice zinc showing.  They successfully outlined previously undetected gold mineralization, hosted in sulphide rich shear bands in granitoid rock, but were not successful in expanding on the Fairservice zinc showing.



The property reconfiguration plan begun in fiscal 2015 resulted in re-staking payments of $7,000 during the year ended January 31, 2016 and $4,400 during the year ended January 31, 2015.



A two phase budget for future exploration was prepared to continue with more soil sampling, prospecting and trenching. However, due to challenging economic circumstances for the Junior Mineral Exploration business over the last few years, which persist today, implementation has been delayed. This will continue until more favorable market conditions return.

Although our previous work on the Property has identified some gold mineralization, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our mineral claims. Further exploration is required before a final evaluation of the economic feasibility can be determined. This will require significant additional financing and considerable time and effort before our mineral claims can be further explored and, if warranted, developed into a commercial enterprise.



The Company continues to monitor claims in the Dotted Lake-Lampson Lake area and plans to make additional acquisitions in this and other areas when and if market conditions improve and the claims are considered to be strategic or otherwise beneficial to the Company.



4.C

Competition



The mineral property exploration business, in general, is intensely competitive and there is no assurance that, even if commercial quantities of ore are discovered, a ready market will exist for the sale of same. Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any minerals discovered. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, government regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals, environmental protection, etc. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but in combination they may make it very difficult to realize an adequate return on investment.



We compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical capabilities than we have regarding the acquisition of mineral concessions, claims, leases and other mineral interests as well as for the recruitment and retention of qualified staff.



4.D

Management and Employees



We do not have any employees other than our directors and officers. When required, we retain geological, financial and other consultants on a contract basis in order to keep overhead expenses to a minimum.



4.E

Environmental Regulations



We are required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in Canada generally, and in the Province of Ontario specifically. Under these laws, prior to production, we have the right to explore the property, subject only to a notice of work which may entail posting a bond. To date, we have not been required to post a bond with respect to our exploration activities on the Dotted Lake-Lampson Lake Property.



In addition, production of minerals in Ontario will require prior approval of applicable governmental regulatory agencies. We can provide no assurance to investors that such approvals will be obtained. The cost and delay involved in attempting to obtain such approvals is unknown at this time.

We have budgeted for regulatory compliance costs as part of our operations. We will have to incur the cost of reclamation and environmental mediation for all exploration work undertaken. The amount of these costs is unknown at this time as we do not know the extent of future exploration.



Permits and regulations will control all aspects of any production program, if the project continues to that stage, because of the potential impact on the environment. Examples of regulatory requirements include:



| |      |

| | i)   | Water discharge will have to meet water standards;                                                                         
| | ii)  | Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated;                                                          
| | iii) | Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and re-vegetated;                                          
| | iv)  | An assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to be environmentally benign;                            
| | v)   | Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants;                                                     
| | vi)  | The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be re-mediated; and
| | vii) | There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora.                                           



We now have a permit from the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines to proceed with Phase 1 of the exploration program when were ready since it will cause little, if any, physical disturbance of the land. However, we will be required to obtain work permits from the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines for the Phase 2 drilling program and any subsequent exploration work that results in a physical disturbance to the land should we decide to proceed. If more than 10,000 square meters of property surface are affected, or such areas that would total that amount when combined, a work permit is required. There is no charge to obtain a work permit under the Mining Act.



When our exploration program proceeds to the drilling stage, we may be required to post small performance bonds if the rights of a private land owner may be affected. We may also be required to file statements of work with the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines and to undertake remediation work on any exploration that results in physical disturbance to the land. The cost of remediation work will vary according to the degree of physical disturbance.

No shares were issued during the years ended January 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.



Basic and diluted loss per share



The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for year ended January 31, 2016 was based on the net loss attributable to common shareholders of $154,778 (January 31, 2015 - $186,548 and January 31, 2014 - $209,624) and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 44,633,171 (January 31, 2015 and January 31, 2014  44,633,171). The diluted loss per share will not include the effect of any share purchase warrants outstanding in the future since the effect would be anti-dilutive.

Stock options



The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan which provides that the Board of Directors of the Company may from time to time, in its discretion and in accordance with the TSX-V requirements, grant to directors, officers, employees and technical consultants to the Company, non-transferable stock options to purchase common shares, provided that the number of common shares reserved for issuance in any twelve month period will not exceed 10% of the Companys issued and outstanding common shares.  Such options will be exercisable for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant at a price not less than the closing price of the Companys shares on the last trading day before the grant of such options less any discount, if applicable, but in any event not less than $0.05 per share.



As at January 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, there were no stock options outstanding.

Capital Management



The Company's policy is to maintain a sufficient capital base so as to maintain investor and creditor confidence, safeguard the Companys ability to support its exploration and evaluation assets and to sustain future development of the business. The capital structure of the Company consists of share and working capital. There were no changes in the Company's approach to capital management during the year and the Company is not subject to any restrictions on its capital.



With no operating revenues to date, we continue to finance our operations through the issuance of common shares and advances from related parties. Although there were two private placements completed during year ended January 31, 2013, there is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed in the future nor, if available, on commercially reasonable terms.  If we are unable to obtain additional financing on a timely basis, either through issuance of more common shares or obtaining additional advances from related parties, we may not be able to meet our obligations as they come due which may impact our ability to continue as a going concern in the future.



| |        | 
| | ------ | 
| | - 27 - | 
| |        | 
| |        | 



To a significant extent, our ability to raise capital is affected by trends and uncertainties beyond our control. These include general economic conditions, the market prices for precious metals and results from our exploration programs. The Companys ability to reach its business objectives may be significantly impaired if general economic conditions continue to deteriorate, prices for metals fall, or if results from planned exploration programs are unsuccessful.

Additional Information



10.A

Share Capital



As of January 31, 2016, the end of the Company's most recent fiscal year, the authorized capital of the Company consisted of an unlimited number of common shares without par value.  There were 44,633,171 common shares issued and outstanding as of January 31, 2016.



During the most recent three fiscal years, the Company has issued no common shares.



Stock Options



The Company has a Rolling Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") which is required to be approved by shareholders annually. The Plan was approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on December 1, 2015.



Under the Plan, stock options can be granted to Officers, Directors, Employees, Consultants, Management Company Employees, and Eligible Charitable Organizations. The number of Shares Reserved for issuance to Employees and Eligible Charitable Organizations pursuant to this Plan together with all of the Shares reserved with respect to the Company's other previously established stock option plans or grants may not exceed 10% of the issued Shares at the time of any stock option grant. Options granted to insiders of the Company as a total in any twelve-month period shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. The number of options granted to any one Person, and companies wholly-owned by that Person, in any twelve-month period shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Options granted to any one Consultant to the Company in any twelve-month period shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Options granted to all Persons engaged in Investor Relations Activities for the Company in aggregate in any twelve-month period shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. The options granted to investor relations persons must vest in stages over a period of not less than 12 months with no more than 1/4 of the options vesting in any 3-month period.



The exercise price of options shall not be less than the Discounted Market Price of the Company's shares, but, in any event, not less than $0.05 per share. All options granted to insiders of the Company and all options granted to any person at a discount to the market price of the Company's shares on the date of grant shall be subject to a 4-month hold period commencing from the date of grant.



| |        | 
| | ------ | 
| | - 40 - | 
| |        | 
| |        | 



Options may not be assigned or transferred, and can be exercisable for a maximum of 10 years from the date of grant, subject to an extension where the expiry date falls within a "blackout period". An Option will be automatically extended past its expiry date if such expiry date falls within a blackout period during which the Company prohibits optionees from exercising their options, but the automatic extension of an optionee's Option will not be permitted where the optionee or the Company is subject to a cease trade order (or similar order under Securities Laws) in respect of the Company's securities. Any amendment to reduce the exercise price of options granted to insiders of the Company shall be subject to approval of the disinterested shareholders of the Company, which is the majority vote of the shareholders other than the insiders of the Company.



The Option Period of an Option will terminate and the Option ceases to be exercisable if an employee ceases to be an officer, director, employee or consultant to the Company or, if the Option is granted to an Eligible Charitable Organization, if the organization ceases to be an Eligible Charitable Organization. In the event an Employees employment with or engagement by the Company or any Designated Subsidiary ceases or is terminated for any reason other than death, the Option shall terminate on a date determined by the Plan Committee or Board of Directors at the time of the Grant, or a reasonable period at the discretion of the Board of Directors following the date of termination, or thirty days, if the Employee was engaged in investor relations activities. In the event of the death of an optionee, either while an Employee of the Company or any Designated Subsidiary, the heirs, executors or other legal representatives of the Employee may exercise any Option granted to such Employee, to the extent such option was exercisable by the Employee at the date of his death, for a period of one year following the date of death of the Employee.



A complete copy of the Companys Stock Option Plan as approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on December 1, 2015 has been included as an exhibit to this Form 20-F Annual Report.



The names and titles of the Directors/Executive Officers of the Registrant to whom outstanding stock options have been granted and the numbers of common shares subject to such options are set forth in Table No. 11 as of May 27, 2016 and within 60 days, as well as the number of options granted to Directors and all employees as a group.

10.B

Memorandum and Articles of Association

We were incorporated pursuant to the Company Act of British Columbia by registration of our articles of incorporation and memorandum on March 31, 1988 and were subsequently transitioned to the replacement Business Corporations Act in March 2006. Pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act, a company may conduct any business that is not restricted by the terms of its articles. Our articles contain no such restrictions.



Our directors are required to disclose to the board of directors the nature and extent of their interest in any proposed transaction or contract and must thereafter refrain from voting in respect thereof. An interested director may be counted in the quorum when a determination as to such directors remuneration is being considered but may not vote in respect thereof. The directors have an unlimited power to borrow money, issue debt obligations and mortgage or charge our assets provided such actions are conducted bona fide and in our best interests. There are no mandatory retirement ages for directors or any required shareholdings.



| |        | 
| | ------ | 
| | - 42 - | 
| |        | 
| |        | 



All holders of common shares are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available therefore at such times and in such amounts as the board of directors may from time to time determine. All holders of common shares will share equally on a per share basis in any dividend declared by the board of directors. The dividend entitlement time limit will be fixed by the board of directors at the time any such dividend is declared. Each outstanding common share is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders in general meeting. There are no cumulative voting rights attached to any of our shares and, accordingly, the holders of more than half of the shares represented at a general meeting can elect all of the directors to be elected in a general meeting. All directors stand for re-election annually. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, all common shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all net assets available for distribution after payment to creditors. The common shares are not convertible or redeemable and have no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. In the event of a merger or consolidation, all common shareholders will be entitled to receive the same per share consideration.



The rights of shareholders may only be altered by the shareholders passing a special resolution at a general meeting. A special resolution may only be passed when it has been circulated to all shareholders by way of an information circular and then must be passed by seventy-five percent of the votes cast at the general meeting.



The board of directors may call annual and extraordinary general meetings when required. One or more shareholders holding in aggregate five percent or more of our issued shares may requisition an extraordinary meeting and the directors are required to hold such meeting within four months of such requisition. Only registered shareholders or persons duly appointed by proxy may be admitted to meetings unless otherwise permitted by the chairman of the meeting.



There are no national limitations or restrictions on the right to own our common shares.



There are no provisions in our articles of association that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control.



There are no provisions in our articles of association that establish any threshold for disclosure of ownership. However, the British Columbia and Alberta Securities Commissions require that persons who are the registered owners of, and/or have voting control over 10% or more of our common shares must file insider reports disclosing securities holdings.



10.C

Material Contracts



The following material contracts have been in effect during the prior two fiscal years:



a)

Debt Deferral Agreement dated February 6, 2012 between the Issuer and Gregory S. Yanke Law Corp. regarding the deferral of $39,676 of Issuer debt to July 31, 2013 or later is unsecured, non-interest bearing. To date, there has been no demand for repayment.



| |        | 
| | ------ | 
| | - 43 - | 
| |        | 
| |        | 



b)

Amended management agreement with Mr. Darcy Krell dated August 1, 2008. The management fees were $2,500 per month from February 1, 2002 to April 30, 2008, when they were increased to $5,000 per month due to more time and effort required to run the business pursuant to an unwritten agreement which was formalized by an amended management agreement between the Issuer and Mr. Krell dated August 1, 2008.  Under this agreement, home office rent increased from $1,500 to $2,500 per month but this did not commence until February 1, 2009.



10.D

Exchange Controls and Other Limitations Affecting Security Holders

There is no law or governmental decree or regulation in Canada that restricts the export or import of capital, or affects the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to a non-resident holder of common shares, other than withholding tax requirements. See Item 10.E below.



There is no limitation imposed by Canadian law or by our constituent documents on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote common shares, other than are provided in the Investment Canada Act (Canada). The following summarizes the principal features of the Investment Canada Act (Canada).



The Investment Canada Act (Canada) requires certain "non-Canadian" individuals, governments, corporation or other entities who wish to acquire a "Canadian business" (as defined in the Investment Canada Act), or establish a "new Canadian business" (as defined in the Investment Canada Act) to file either a notification or an application for review with a governmental agency known as "Investment Canada". The Investment Canada Act requires that certain acquisition of control of Canadian business by a "non-Canadian" must be reviewed and approved by the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act on the basis that the Minister is satisfied that the acquisition is "likely to be of net benefit to Canada", having regard to criteria set forth in the Investment Canada Act. Only acquisitions of control are reviewable under the Investment Canada Act; however, the Investment Canada Act provides detailed rules for the determination of whether control has been acquired and, pursuant to those rules, the acquisition of one-third or more of the voting shares of a corporation may, in some circumstances, be considered to constitute an acquisition of control. Certain reviewable acquisitions of control may not be implemented before being approved by the Minister; if the Minister does not ultimately approve a reviewable acquisition, which has been completed, the acquired Canadian business must be divested. Failure to comply with the review provisions of the Investment Canada Act could result in, amongst other things, an injunction or a court order directing disposition of assets of shares.



10.E

Taxation



Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences to U.S. Investors

A brief description of certain provisions of the tax treaty between Canada and the United States is included below, together with a brief outline of certain taxes, including withholding provisions to which United States security holders are subject under existing laws and regulations of Canada and United States; the consequences, if any, of state and local taxes are not considered. The following information is general and security holders are urged to seek the advice of their own tax advisors, tax counsel or accountants with respect to the applicability or effect on their own individual circumstances of not only the matters referred to herein, but also any state or local taxes.



| |        | 
| | ------ | 
| | - 44 - | 
| |        | 
| |        | 



Canadian federal tax legislation generally requires a 25% withholding from dividends paid or deemed to be paid to the Company's nonresident shareholders. However, shareholders resident in the United States will generally have this rate reduced to 15% through the tax treaty between Canada and the United States. The amount of stock dividends paid to non-residents of Canada will be subject to withholding tax at the same rate as cash dividends. The amount of stock dividend (for tax purposes) would generally be equal to the amount by which our stated capital has increased by reason of the payment of such dividend. We will furnish additional tax information to shareholders in the event of such a dividend. Interest paid or deemed to be paid on our debt securities held by non-Canadian residents may also be subject to Canadian withholding tax, depending upon the terms and provisions of such securities and any applicable tax treaty. Under present legislation in the United States, we are generally not subject to United States back up withholding rules, which would require withholding at a rate of 20% on dividends and interest paid to certain United States persons who have not provided us with a taxpayer identification number.



Gains derived from a disposition of shares of the company by a non-resident shareholder will be subject to tax in Canada only if not less than 25% of any class of our shares was owned by the nonresident shareholder and/or persons with whom the nonresident did not deal at arm's length at any time during the five-year period immediately preceding the disposition. In such cases gains derived by a U.S. shareholder from a disposition of our shares would likely be exempt from tax in Canada by virtue of the Canada-U.S. tax treaty.



United States Federal Income Tax Consequences to U.S. Investors

The following is a general discussion of material United States Federal income tax consequences, under the law, generally applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) of common shares of the Company. This discussion does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences.



The following discussion is based upon the sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possible on a retroactive basis, at any time.  In addition, the discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, or recently proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. The discussion is for general information only and it is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of common shares of the Company. Each holder and prospective holder of common shares of the Company is advised to consult their own tax advisors about the federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of common shares of the Company applicable to their own particular circumstances.

U.S. Holders



As used herein, a (U.S. Holder) includes a holder of common shares of the Company who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, an estate whose income is taxable in the United States irrespective of source or a trust subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and control of a United States fiduciary as described in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. This summary does not address the tax consequences to, and U.S. Holder does not include, persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals, persons or entities that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, shareholders who hold common shares as part of a straddle, hedging or conversion transaction, and shareholders who acquired their common shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services.



This summary is limited to U.S. Holders who own common shares as capital assets. This summary does not address the consequences to a person or entity holding an interest in a shareholder or the consequences to a person of the ownership, exercise or disposition of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire common shares.



Distribution on Common Shares of the Company



U.S. Holders receiving dividend distributions (including constructive dividends) with respect to common shares of the Company are required to include in gross income for United States Federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions equal to the U.S. dollar value of such distributions on the date of receipt (based on the exchange rate on such date), to the extent that the Company has current or accumulated earnings and profits, without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions.  Such Canadian tax withheld may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the U.S. Holders United States Federal Income tax liability or, alternatively, individuals may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holders United States Federal taxable income by those individuals who itemize deductions.  (See more detailed discussion at Foreign Tax Credit below).  To the extent that distributions exceed current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company, they will be treated first as a return of capital up to the U.S. Holders adjusted basis in the common shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of the common shares. Dividend income will be taxed at marginal tax rates applicable to ordinary income while preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains are applicable to a U.S. Holder which is an individual, estate or trust.  There are currently no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gains for a U.S. Holder which is a corporation.



In the case of foreign currency received as a dividend that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Generally any gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale of other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for U.S. dollars, will be ordinary income or loss.

Dividends paid on the common shares of the Company will not generally be eligible for the dividends received deduction provided to corporations receiving dividends from certain United States corporations.  A U.S. Holder which is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to a 70% deduction of the United States source portion of dividends received from the Company (unless the Company qualifies as a foreign personal holding company or a passive foreign investment company, as defined below) if such U.S. Holder owns shares representing at least 10% of the voting power and value of the Company.  The availability of this deduction is subject to several complex limitations which are beyond the scope of this discussion.



Under current Treasury Regulations, dividends paid on the Companys common shares, if any, generally will not be subject to information reporting and generally will not be subject to U.S. backup withholding tax. However, dividends and the proceeds from a sale of the Companys common shares paid in the U.S. through a U.S. or U.S. related paying agent (including a broker) will be subject to U.S. information reporting requirements and may also be subject to the 31% U.S. backup withholding tax, unless the paying agent is furnished with a duly completed and signed Form W-9. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holders U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.



Foreign Tax Credit



For individuals whose entire income from sources outside the United States consists of qualified passive income, the total amount of creditable foreign taxes paid or accrued during the taxable year does not exceed $300 ($600 in the case of a joint return) and an election is made under section 904(j), the limitation on credit does not apply.



A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of common shares of the Company may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld.  Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States Federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayers income subject to tax.  This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign income taxes (or taxes in lieu of income tax) paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during the year.  There are significant and complex limitations which apply to the credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holders United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holders foreign source income bears to his/her or its worldwide taxable income in the determination of the application of this limitation. The various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern this classification process.  In addition, this limitation is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income such as passive income, high withholding tax interest, financial services income, shipping income, and certain other classifications of income. Dividends distributed by the Company will generally constitute passive income or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, financial services income for these purposes.  The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of the limitations on the credit are fact specific and management urges holders and prospective holders of common shares of the Company to consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.

Disposition of Common Shares of the Company



A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss upon the sale of common shares of the Company equal to the difference, if any, between (I) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholders tax basis in the common shares of the Company.  Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of U.S. Holders, which are individuals, estates or trusts. This gain or loss will be capital gain or loss if the common shares are capital assets in the hands of the U.S. Holder, which will be a short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending upon the holding period of the U.S. Holder.  Gains and losses are netted and combined according to special rules in arriving at the overall capital gain or loss for a particular tax year.  Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations.  For U.S. Holders, which are not corporations, any unused portion of such net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted, but individuals may not carry back capital losses. For U.S. Holders, which are corporations (other than corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code), an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years from the loss year and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted.



Other Considerations



In the following circumstances, the above sections of the discussion may not describe the United States Federal income tax consequences resulting from the holding and disposition of common shares of the Company.



Foreign Personal Holding Company



If at any time during a taxable year more than 50% of the total combined voting power or the total value of the Companys outstanding shares is owned, actually or constructively, by five or fewer individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States and 60% (50% after the first tax year) or more of the Companys gross income for such year was derived from certain passive sources (e.g. from interest income received from its subsidiaries), the Company would be treated as a foreign personal holding company.  In that event, U.S. Holders that hold common shares of the Company would be required to include in gross income for such year their allocable portions of such passive income to the extent the Company does not actually distribute such income.



The Company does not believe that it currently has the status of a foreign personal holding company. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be considered a foreign personal holding company for the current or any future taxable year.



Foreign Investment Company



If 50% or more of the combined voting power or total value of the Companys outstanding shares are held, actually or constructively, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships or corporations, or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701(a)(31), and the Company is found to be engaged primarily in the business of investing, reinvesting, or trading in securities, commodities, or any interest therein, it is possible that the Company might be treated as a foreign investment company as defined in Section 1246 of the Code, causing all or part of any gain realized by a U.S. Holder selling or exchanging common shares of the Company to be treated as ordinary income rather than capital gains.



| |        | 
| | ------ | 
| | - 48 - | 
| |        | 
| |        | 



Passive Foreign Investment Company



As a foreign corporation with U.S. Holders, the Company could potentially be treated as a passive foreign investment company (PFIC), as defined in Section 1297 of the Code, depending upon the percentage of the Companys income which is passive, or the percentage of the Companys assets which is held for the purpose of producing passive income.



The rule governing PFICs can have significant tax effects on U.S. shareholders of foreign corporations who are subject to U.S. Federal income taxation under alternative methods at the election of each such U.S. shareholder.  As a PFIC, each U.S. shareholders income or gain, with respect to a disposition or deemed disposition of the PFICs shares or a distribution payable on such shares will generally be subject to tax at the highest marginal rates applicable to ordinary income and certain interest charges, unless the U.S. shareholder has timely made a qualified electing fund election or a mark-to-market election for those shares.



A U.S. shareholder who elects to treat the PFIC as a Qualified Electing Fund ("QEF"), as defined in the Code, (an "Electing U.S. Holder") will be required to currently include in his income, for any taxable year in which the corporation qualifies as a PFIC, his pro-rata share of the corporation's (i) "net capital gain" (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), which will be taxed as long-term capital gain to the Electing U.S. Holder, and (ii) "ordinary earnings" (the excess of earnings and profits over net capital gain), which will be taxed as ordinary income to the Electing U.S. Holder, in each case, for the U.S. Holder's taxable year in which (or with which) the corporations taxable year ends, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed. A QEF election also allows the Electing U.S. Holder to generally treat any gain realized on the disposition of his common shares (or deemed to be realized on the pledge of his common shares) as capital gain; treat his share of the corporation's net capital gain, if any, as long-term capital gain instead of ordinary income, and either avoid interest charges resulting from PFIC status altogether, or make an annual election, subject to certain limitations, to defer payment of current taxes on his share of the corporation's annual realized net capital gain and ordinary earnings.



The procedure a U.S. Holder must comply with in making a timely QEF election will depend on whether the year of the election is the first year in the U.S. Holder's holding period in which the corporation is a PFIC. If the U.S. shareholder makes a QEF election in such first year, then the U.S. shareholder may make the QEF election by simply filing the appropriate documents at the time the U.S. Holder files a tax return for such first year. If, however, the corporation qualified as a PFIC in a prior year during the U.S. shareholders holding period, then the U.S. shareholder may make a retroactive QEF election, provided he has preserved his right to do so under the protective statement regime or he obtains IRS permission.



If a U.S. shareholder has not made a QEF Election at any time (a "Non-electing U.S. Holder"), then special taxation rules under Section 1291 of the Code will apply to gains realized on the disposition (or deemed to be realized by reason of a pledge) of his common shares, and certain "excess distributions" by the corporation. An excess distribution is a current year distribution received by the U.S. shareholder on PFIC stock to the extent that the distribution exceeds its ratable portion of 125% of the average amount received by the U.S. shareholder during the preceding three years.



| |        | 
| | ------ | 
| | - 49 - | 
| |        | 
| |        | 



A Non-electing U.S. shareholder generally would be required to pro-rate all gains realized on the disposition of his common shares and all excess distributions over the entire holding period for the common shares. All gains or excess distributions allocated to prior years of the U.S. shareholder (other than years prior to the first taxable year of the corporation during such U.S. Holder's holding period and beginning after January 1, 1987 for which it was a PFIC) would be taxed at the highest marginal tax rate for each such prior year applicable to ordinary income. The Non-electing U.S. shareholder also would be liable for interest on the foregoing tax liability for each such prior year calculated as if such liability had been due with respect to each such prior year. A Non-electing non-corporate U.S. shareholder must treat this interest charge as "personal interest" which is wholly non-deductible. The balance of the gain or the excess distribution will be treated as ordinary income in the year of the disposition or distribution, and no interest charge will be incurred with respect to such balance.



If a corporation is a PFIC for any taxable year during which a Non-electing U.S. shareholder holds common shares, then the corporation will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such common shares, even if it is no longer by definition a PFIC. A Non-electing U.S. shareholder may terminate this deemed PFIC status by electing to recognize a gain, which will be taxed under the rules for Non-Electing U.S. Holders, as if such common shares had been sold on the last day of the last taxable year for which it was a PFIC. If the corporation no longer qualifies as a PFIC in a subsequent year, then normal Code rules and not the PFIC rules will apply with respect to a U.S. shareholder who has made a QEF election.



In certain circumstances, a U.S. Holder of stock in a PFIC can make a qualified electing fund election to mitigate some of the adverse tax consequences of holding stock in a PFIC by including in income its share of the corporations income on a current basis. However, we do not currently intend to prepare or provide the information that would enable you to make a qualified electing fund election. Management urges US persons to consult with their own tax advisors with regards to the impact of these rules.



Controlled Foreign Corporation



A Controlled Foreign Corporation (CFC) is a foreign corporation more than 50% of whose stock by vote or value is, on any day in the corporations tax year, owned (directly or indirectly) by U.S. Shareholders. If more than 50% of the voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote is owned, actually or constructively, by citizens or residents of the United States, United States domestic partnerships and corporations or estates or trusts other than foreign estates or trusts, each of whom own actually or constructively 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company could be treated as a controlled foreign corporation under Subpart F of the Code.  This classification would affect many complex results, one of which is the inclusion of certain income of a CFC, which is subject to current U.S. tax. The United States generally taxes United States Shareholders of a CFC currently on their pro rata shares of the Subpart F income of the CFC. Such United States Shareholders are generally treated as having received a current distribution out of the CFCs Subpart F income and are also subject to current U.S. tax on their pro rata shares of the CFCs earnings invested in U.S. property. The foreign tax credit described above may reduce the U.S. tax on these amounts.



| |        | 
| | ------ | 
| | - 50 - | 
| |        | 
| |        | 



In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from the sale or exchange of shares by a U.S. Holder of common shares of the Corporation which is or was a United States Shareholder at any time during the five-year period ending with the sale or exchange is treated as ordinary income to the extent of earnings and profits of the Company (accumulated in corporate tax years beginning after 1962, but only while the shares were held and while the Company was controlled) attributable to the shares sold or exchanged. If a foreign corporation is both a PFIC and a CFC, the foreign corporation generally will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to the United States Shareholders of the CFC. This rule generally will be effective for taxable years of United States Shareholders beginning after 1997 and for taxable years of foreign corporations ending with or within such taxable years of United States Shareholders. The PFIC provisions continue to apply in the case of PFIC that is also a CFC with respect to the U.S. Holders that are less than 10% shareholders. Because of the complexity of Subpart F, a more detailed review of these rules is outside of the scope of this discussion.



The amount of any backup withholding will not constitute additional tax and will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holders federal income tax liability.



Filing of Information Returns.  Under a number of circumstances, United States Investor acquiring shares of the Company may be required to file an information return with the Internal Revenue Service Center where they are required to file their tax returns with a duplicate copy to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255. In particular, any United States Investor who becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the shares of the Company will be required to file such a return. Other filing requirements may apply, and management urges United States Investors to consult their own tax advisors concerning these requirements.



ALL PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING THE COMMON SHARES.

ITEM 11.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial statements due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates, including credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk.



We are engaged in the mineral exploration business and manage related industry risk directly. We are potentially at risk for environmental reclamation and fluctuations in commodity-based market prices associated with resource property interests. We are of the opinion that we address environmental risk and compliance in accordance with industry standards and specific project environmental requirements. At present, the Company is not required to provide for restoration and environmental obligations. Accordingly, no provision has been made. However, there is no certainty that all environmental risks and contingencies have been addressed.



The Company is exposed in varying degrees to financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:



Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss.  The Companys primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash held in bank accounts and its credit card deposit. The majority of cash is deposited in bank accounts held with one major bank in Canada so there is a concentration of credit risk.  This risk is managed by using a major bank that is a high credit quality financial institution as determined by rating agencies.



Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Companys normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis. The Company attempts to ensure there is sufficient access to funds to meet on-going business requirements, taking into account its current cash position and potential funding sources.



Historically, the Company's source of funding has been either the issuance of equity securities for cash through private placements or loans from directors and officers. The Companys access to financing is always uncertain and there can be no assurance of continued access to significant funding from these sources.



Foreign exchange risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the Companys functional currency. The Company only operates in Canada and is therefore not exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions denominated in a foreign currency.



Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.  The Companys exposure to interest rate risk relates to its ability to earn interest income on cash balances at variable rates. Changes in short term interest rates will not have a significant effect on the fair value of the Companys cash account.



| |        | 
| | ------ | 
| | - 52 - | 
| |        | 
| |        | 



Commodity Price Risk

The Companys ability to raise capital to fund exploration or development activities is subject to risks associated with fluctuations in the market price of precious metals. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the most appropriate course of action.

Controls and Procedures



The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that material information related to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to senior management, including Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), by others within those entities on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure.



We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of January 31, 2016. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2016, were effective to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Companys management is responsible for designing, establishing and maintaining a system of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) to provide reasonable assurance that the financial information prepared by the Company for external purposes is reliable and has been recorded, processed and reported in an accurate and timely manner in accordance with IFRS as issued by IASB.  The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities. The Audit Committee fulfills its role of ensuring the integrity of the reported information through its review of the interim and annual financial statements.  Management reviewed the results of their assessment with the Companys Audit Committee.



| |        | 
| | ------ | 
| | - 53 - | 
| |        | 
| |        | 



Because of its inherent limitations, the Companys internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all possible misstatements or frauds.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.



To evaluate the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting, Management has used the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013), which is a suitable, recognized control framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  Management has assessed the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting and concluded that such internal control over financial reporting is effective as of January 31, 2016.



Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our Internal Controls will prevent all error and all fraud.  A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.



Attestation Report of the Registered Accounting Firm.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the Companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this Form 20-F Annual Report.



Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16A.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Company does not have an audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee.  The Companys Audit Committee consists of three directors, two of which are independent, all of whom are both financially literate and very knowledgeable about the Companys affairs.  Because the Companys structure and operations are straightforward, the Company does not find it necessary at the current time to identify Board with a financial expert.



ITEM 16B.

Code of Ethics

The Company has not adopted a code of ethics that applies to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions because the Board had found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Companys governing corporate legislation, the common law, and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual directors participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.



ITEM 16C.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of auditors; the audit committee has in place procedures for receiving complaints and concerns about accounting and auditing matters; and has the authority and the funding to engage independent counsel and other outside advisors.



In accordance with the requirements of the US Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Companys Audit Committee Charter includes a procedure for the review and pre-approval of any services performed by the Company's auditor, including audit services, audit related services, tax services and other services.  The procedure requires that all proposed engagements of the auditor for audit and permitted non-audit services are submitted to the finance and audit committee for approval prior to the beginning of any such services.



Fees, including reimbursements for expenses, for professional services rendered by Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, are included in Table No. 12:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT



To the Shareholders of Rouge Resources Ltd.:



We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Rouge Resources Ltd., which comprise the statements of financial position as at January 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, and the statements of comprehensive loss, changes in equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.



Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements



Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.



Auditors Responsibility



Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.



An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.



We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.



Opinion



In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rouge Resources Ltd. as at January 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.



Emphasis of Matter



Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 in the financial statements which describes certain conditions that indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts substantial doubt about Rouge Resources Ltd.s ability to continue as a going concern.

ROUGE RESOURCES LTD.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

For the years ended January 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014



1.

Nature and continuance of operations



Rouge Resources Ltd. (the Company) was incorporated on March 31, 1988 under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada, and its principal activity is the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Canada. The Companys shares are traded on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V) under the symbol ROU and quoted on the OTC:BB in the United States. The Companys registered and records office is located at 3123  595 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V7X 1J1.



These financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As at January 31, 2016, the Company had not advanced any of its properties to commercial production and is not able to finance day-to-day activities through operations. The Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the successful results from its mineral property exploration activities; its ability to attain profitable operations and generate funds therefrom; and its ability to raise equity capital or borrowings sufficient to meet current and future obligations. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that casts substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with cash on hand, loans from directors and companies controlled by directors, and/or private placement of common shares. Should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern, the net realizable value of its assets may be materially less than the amounts presented on its Statements of Financial Position.



2.

Significant accounting policies and basis of preparation



These financial statements were authorized for issue on May 27, 2016 by the directors of the Company.



Statement of compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards

These financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and with interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).



Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis; are based on historical costs, modified where applicable; and are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.



Significant estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The Companys management reviews these estimates and underlying assumptions on an ongoing basis, based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to estimates are adjusted for prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised.

Estimates and assumptions where there is significant risk of material adjustments to assets and liabilities in future accounting periods include: the useful lives of equipment, the recoverability of the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, fair value measurements for financial instruments, the recoverability and measurement of deferred tax assets, and provisions for restoration and environmental obligations and contingent liabilities.



Significant judgments

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the Company to make judgments, apart from those involving estimates and assumptions, in applying accounting policies. The most significant judgments in preparing the Companys financial statements include:

-

assessment of the Companys ability to continue as a going concern and whether there are events or conditions that may give rise to significant uncertainty; and

-

classification / allocation of expenditures as exploration and evaluation assets or operating expenses.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

For the years ended January 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014



Foreign currency translation, transactions and balances

The functional currency of a Company is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. These financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars which is the Companys functional and presentation currency.



Foreign currency transactions, where applicable, are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be carried at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are reported at the exchange rate at the date when fair values were determined.



Exchange differences arising on the translation of monetary items or on settlement of monetary items are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss in the period in which they arise, except where deferred in equity as a qualifying cash flow or net investment hedge.



Exchange differences arising on the translation of non-monetary items are recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent that gains and losses arising on those non-monetary items are also recognized in other comprehensive income. Where the non-monetary gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss, the exchange component is also recognized in profit or loss.



Exploration and evaluation expenditures

Costs incurred before the Company has obtained the legal rights to explore an area are expensed as incurred.



Exploration and evaluation expenditures include the costs of acquiring licenses and costs associated with exploration and evaluation activity. Option payments are considered acquisition costs provided that the Company has the intention of exercising the underlying option.



Property option agreements are exercisable entirely at the option of the optionee. Therefore, option payments (or recoveries) are recorded when payment is made (or received) and are not accrued.



Exploration and evaluation expenditures are capitalized. The Company capitalizes costs to specific blocks of claims or areas of geological interest. Government tax credits received are recorded as a reduction to the cumulative costs incurred and capitalized on the related property.



Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment if facts or circumstances indicate that impairment exists. Examples of such facts and circumstances are as follows:



-

the period for which the Company has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed;

-

substantive expenditure on further exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area is neither budgeted nor planned;

-

exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area; and

-

sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full from successful development or by sale.



After technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable, the Company stops capitalizing expenditures for the applicable block of claims or geological area of interest and tests the asset for impairment. The capitalized balance, net of any impairment recognized, is then reclassified to either tangible or intangible mine development assets according to the nature of the asset.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

For the years ended January 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014



Share-based payments



The Company has a stock option plan. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortized over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. Compensation expense is recognized and the corresponding amount is recorded in reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the BlackScholes Option Pricing Model. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. When the options are exercised, share capital is credited for the consideration received and the related reserve is decreased.



Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the period. For all periods presented, the loss attributable to common shareholders equals the reported loss attributable to owners of the Company. Diluted loss per share is calculated by the treasury stock method. Under this method, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the calculation of diluted loss per share assumes that the proceeds to be received on the exercise of dilutive share options and warrants are used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. Any stock options or share purchase warrants outstanding cause the calculation of diluted loss per share to be anti-dilutive and are therefore not included in the calculation.



Financial instruments

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: fair value through profit or loss , loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments, available-for-sale and financial liabilities. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at initial recognition.



Fair value through profit or loss investments are either held-for-trading for the purpose of short-term profit taking, derivatives not held for hedging purposes, or held on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy when designated as such to avoid an accounting mismatch or to enable performance evaluation where a group of financial assets is managed by key management personnel. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with unrealized changes in carrying value being included in profit or loss.



Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. They are included in current assets except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets.



Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments with Companys intention to hold these investments to maturity. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Held-to-maturity investments are included in non-current assets, except for those instruments that are expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period.



Available-for-sale investments are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale or are not suitable to be classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or held-to-maturity investments and are subsequently measured at fair value. These are included in current assets to the extent they are expected to be realized within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses on monetary financial assets which are recognized in profit or loss.



Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date, being the date when the Company commits to purchase or sell the asset.



Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.



At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a significant and prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen.



Transaction costs related to financial instruments include professional, consulting, regulatory, agency commissions and other costs that are incremental to the acquisition, issuance or disposition of financial assets, liabilities or equity instruments. Transaction costs are initially charged to the related financial instrument or equity instrument, except where the financial instrument is classified as fair value through profit or loss, in which case transaction costs are expensed to the Statement of Comprehensive Loss immediately.



The Company does not have any derivative financial assets and liabilities.



Impairment of assets

The carrying amount of the Companys non-current assets, which include equipment and exploration and evaluation assets, is reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. An impairment loss is recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss whenever the carrying amount of the asset, or its cash-generating unit, exceeds its recoverable amount.



The recoverable amount is the greater of an assets fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash flows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.



A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows largely independent of the cash flows from other assets or groups of assets. Impairment losses recognized in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro-rata basis.



An impairment loss is only reversed if there is an indication that the impairment loss may no longer exist and there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. However, any reversal of impairment cannot increase the carrying value of the asset to an amount higher than the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in previous years. An impairment loss with respect to goodwill is never reversed.



Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.



Income taxes



Current income tax



Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date, in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income.



Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in other comprehensive income or equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is recognized using the asset and liability method on temporary differences at the reporting date arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.



The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized.



Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.



Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.



Flow-through shares

On the issuance of flow-through shares, any premium received in excess of the closing market price of the Companys common shares is initially recorded as a liability (flow-through tax liability). Provided that the Company has renounced the related expenditures, or that there is a reasonable expectation that it will do so, the flow-through tax liability is reduced on a pro-rata basis as the expenditures are incurred. If such expenditures are capitalized, a deferred tax liability is recognized. To the extent that the Company has suitable unrecognized deductible temporary differences, an offsetting recovery of deferred income taxes would be recorded.



Restoration and environmental obligations

The Company recognizes liabilities for statutory, contractual, constructive or legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-term assets, when those obligations result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal operation of the assets. The net present value of future restoration cost estimates arising from the decommissioning of plant and other site preparation work is capitalized to the related asset along with a corresponding increase in the restoration provision in the period incurred. Discount rates using a pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money are used to calculate the net present value.



The Companys estimates of restoration costs could change as a result of changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates and assumptions regarding the amount and timing of the future expenditures. These changes are recorded directly to exploration and evaluation assets with corresponding entries to the related asset and the restoration provision. The Companys estimates are reviewed annually for changes in regulatory requirements, discount rates, effects of inflation and changes in estimates.



Changes in the net present value, excluding changes in the Companys estimates of restoration costs, are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Loss for the period. The net present value of restoration costs arising from subsequent site damage that is incurred on an ongoing basis during production are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Loss in the period incurred. These changes are recorded directly to the related asset with a corresponding entry to the provision. The increase in the restoration provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.



The net present value of restoration costs arising from subsequent site damage that is incurred on an ongoing basis during production are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Loss in the period incurred.



The costs of restoration projects that were included in the provision are recorded against the provision as incurred. The costs to prevent and control environmental impacts at specific properties are capitalized in accordance with the Companys accounting policy for exploration and evaluation assets.



At present, the Company has not identified any significant restoration and environmental obligations in its operations. Accordingly, no provision has been made.

Equipment

Equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.



Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part, if applicable, is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.



Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss.



Amortization is calculated on a declining balance method to write-off the cost of the equipment to its residual value over its estimated useful life at the rate of 30% per year.



Comparative figures

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current years presentation.

Accounting standards issued but not yet effective



New standard IFRS 9 Financial Instruments



This new standard is a partial replacement of IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets, additional changes relating to financial liabilities, a new general hedge accounting standard which will align hedge accounting more closely with risk management. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted and is not expected to have impact on the Companys financial statements.



Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Companys financial statements.

The Company holds a 100% interest in 9 claims in the Thunder Bay Mining District of North Central Ontario, known as the Dotted Lake Property (the Property) which includes the 2 adjacent Lampson Lake claims acquired under a 4 year option agreement fully paid on April 20, 2014.



Primarily due to continuing uncertainty in the market conditions of the junior mining exploration sector over the past few years, the Company commenced a claims reduction and reconfiguration plan on the Property during the year ended January 31, 2015 and proceeded to record an impairment charge of $31,500 at that time. This plan was designed to focus entirely on claims of merit resulting in certain claims being allowed to lapse, certain claims being partially re-staked, and certain land positions being modified or increased all of which was completed during the year ended January 31, 2016.



Plan implementation included re-staking payments of $4,400 during the year ended January 31, 2015 and $7,000 during the year ended January 31, 2016.



The 2 Lampson Lake claims are subject to a 2% net smelter royalty (NSR) in favour of the optionors on one claim and with respect to the other, a combination of a 2% NSR in favour of the optionors and a 1% NSR on any metals and/or a 1% NSR payable to Ontario Exploration Company (OEC) on any precious metals recovered from the property. The Company has the right to buy back 1% of the NSR in favour of the optionors for $1,000,000 and to buy back three-quarters of 1% of the royalty vested with OEC over 10 years on an increasing scale from $15,000 to $750,000.

Share capital



Authorized share capital

The Companys authorized share capital consisted of an unlimited number of common shares without par value.



Issued share capital

As at January 31, 2016, there were 44,633,171 issued and fully paid common shares outstanding (January 31, 2015 and 2014  44,633,171) of which nil shares remained in escrow (January 31, 2015  1,894,800; January 31, 2014  3,789,600).



Private placements

No shares were issued during the years ended January 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.



Basic and diluted loss per share

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share for year ended January 31, 2016 was based on the net loss attributable to common shareholders of $154,778 (January 31, 2015 - $186,548; January 31, 2014 - $209,624) and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 44,633,171 (January 31, 2015 and January 31, 2014  44,633,171). The diluted loss per share does not include the effect of any share purchase warrants outstanding in the future since the effect would be anti-dilutive.



Stock options

The Company has adopted an incentive stock option plan which provides that the Board of Directors of the Company may from time to time, in its discretion and in accordance with the TSX-V requirements, grant to directors, officers, employees and technical consultants to the Company, non-transferable stock options to purchase common shares, provided that the number of common shares reserved for issuance in any twelve month period will not exceed 10% of the Companys issued and outstanding common shares. Such options will be exercisable for a period of up to 10 years from the date of grant at a price not less than the closing price of the Companys shares on the last trading day before the grant of such options less any discount, if applicable, but in any event not less than $0.10 per share. In connection with the foregoing, the number of common shares reserved for issuance to any one optionee insider in any twelve month period will not exceed ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding common shares and the number of common shares reserved for issuance to any one employee or consultant will not exceed two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding common shares. Options may be exercised no later than 90 days following cessation of the optionees position with the Company or 30 days following cessation of an optionee conducting investor relations activities.



As at January 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, there were no stock options outstanding.

Financial instruments and financial risk management



The Company is exposed in varying degrees to financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes, inclusive of documented investment policies, counterparty limits, and controlling and reporting structures. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:



Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Companys primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash held in bank accounts and its credit and security deposit. The Companys cash and credit card deposit are deposited in bank accounts held with one major bank in Canada so there is a concentration of credit risk. This risk is managed by using a major bank that is a high credit quality financial institution as determined by rating agencies.



Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company has a planning and budgeting process in place to help determine the funds required to support the Companys normal operating requirements on an on-going basis. The Company ensures there are sufficient funds to meet short-term business requirements, taking into account its current cash position and potential funding sources.



Historically, the Company's source of funding has been either the issuance of equity securities for cash through private placements or loans from Company directors and officers. The Companys access to financing is always uncertain and there can be no assurance of continued access to significant funding from these sources.



Foreign exchange risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair values of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because they are denominated in currencies that differ from the Companys functional currency. The Company only operates in Canada and is therefore not exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from transactions denominated in a foreign currency.



Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Companys exposure to interest rate risk relates to its ability to earn interest income on cash balances at variable rates. Changes in short term interest rates will not have a significant effect on the fair value of the Companys cash account.



Classification of financial instruments

Financial assets included in the Statement of Financial Position are as follows:
