ITEM 1.

BUSINESS.

Overview

We were incorporated on December 14, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. We are focused on the development of mining technologies for the proficient extraction of precious metals, and our primary objectives are to: (i) commercially and viably extract and refine precious metals from specific coal (fly and bottom) ash and other leachable assets; (ii) use our proprietary processes to convert specific ore bodies and coal ash landfills into valuable assets; and (iii) joint venture, acquire and develop mining projects in North America.

We are focusing our business on commercially processing specific coal ash through a process of mechanical attrition, chemical treatments and thermal sintering that exposes extractable gold (the “Cholla Process”) at our processing and refining plant located in Scottsdale, Arizona (the “Scottsdale Facility”). This process agglomerates metal atoms into larger nanoparticles, before forming bulk gold metal. Once in bulk gold metal, traditional assay methods can effectively measure value.

We are actively seeking to enter into joint ventures with third parties who have legal rights to fly ash resources, including landfills. There is no assurance that we will be able to commercially extract precious metals from fly ash or other mineable ores using our Cholla process or that we will be able to enter into joint ventures for the exploration and development of additional mining projects.

Facilities and Technologies

Our Scottsdale Facility is an industrial building of approximately 4,550 square feet located in Scottsdale, Arizona. The Scottsdale Facility is designed specifically for processing coal ash using our licensed technology. We have yet to realize significant revenue using our licensed technology.

Compliance with Government Regulation

Our activities are subject to extensive federal, state, and local regulations in the United States. These statutes regulate the mining of and exploration for mineral properties, and also the possible effects of such activities upon the environment. Future legislation and regulations could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions and delays, the extent of which cannot be predicted.

Other regulatory requirements monitor the following:

	(a)	Explosives and explosives handling.
	(b)	Use and occupancy of site structures associated with mining.
	(c)	Hazardous materials and waste disposal.
	(d)	State Historic site preservation.

	(e)	Archaeological and paleontological finds associated with mining.
	(f)	Wildlife preservation.

The State of Nevada adopted the Mined Land Reclamation Act (the “Nevada Act”) in 1989 that established design, operation, monitoring and closure requirements for all mining facilities. The Nevada Act has increased the cost of designing, operating, monitoring and closing new mining facilities and could affect the cost of operating, monitoring and closing existing mining facilities. The State of Nevada has also adopted reclamation regulations. The Nevada Act also requires reclamation plans and permits for exploration projects that will result in more than five acres of surface disturbance.

In the context of environmental permitting, we must comply with known standards, existing laws and regulations that may entail greater or lesser costs and delays, depending on the nature of the activity to be permitted and how stringently the regulations are implemented by the permitting authority. We are not presently aware of any specific material environmental constraints affecting our property that would preclude the economic development or operation of any specific property.

Competition

We compete with other mineral resource exploration and development companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration and development companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than we do. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could adversely impact our ability to finance further exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for us to develop our mineral properties.

We will also compete with other junior mineral exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in junior mineral exploration companies. The presence of competing junior mineral exploration companies may impact our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our exploration programs if investors are of the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment offered to investors. We will also compete with other junior and senior mineral companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, camp staff, helicopter or float planes, mineral exploration supplies and drill rigs.

Patents and Trademarks

We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.

Research and Development Expenditures

During our fiscal year ended April 30, 2017, we spent approximately $291,296 on mineral exploration and evaluation costs. During our fiscal year ended April 30, 2016, we spent approximately $352,771 on mineral exploration and evaluation costs.

Employees

Other than our executive officers, we do not have any employees at the time of this Annual Report.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

The following are some of the important factors that could affect our financial performance or could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in our forward-looking statements. We may encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.

If we do not obtain additional financing, we may not be able to continue our operations at our Scottsdale Facility or enter into any potential joint venture or licensing agreements.

As of April 30, 2017, we had cash on hand of $12,087 and accumulated net loss of $19,570,019 since inception. Our plan of operation calls for significant expenses in connection with the operation of our Scottsdale Facility and the entry of any potential joint ventures. If we are unable to raise sufficient financing, there is a substantial risk that we will be unable to meet payments of principal and interest to our creditors and pay our consultants and employees. In addition, we will require substantial financing in order to implement our plan of operation over the next twelve months. There is no assurance that this will satisfy all of our working capital requirements for the next twelve months or that these funds will be sufficient to complete our planned exploration and development programs.

Because we are a development stage company, we face a high risk of business failure.

We have earned minimal revenues from the processing of ore at our Phoenix and Scottsdale Facilities. Our primary business activities have involved the exploration and development on the Piute Valley Property and the commencement of operations at our Phoenix Facility and Scottsdale Facility. In August 2012, we did not pay the renewal fee on the Piute Valley Property and the BLM Claims, allowing those claims to lapse. In November 2012, we shut down our Phoenix Facility and we have no plans to continue that operation. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by exploration and development stage companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of mineral properties. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.

Because we anticipate our operating expenses will increase prior to our earning significant revenues, we may never achieve profitability.

We anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses prior to realizing any significant revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the operation of our Scottsdale Facility, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we may not be able to ever generate any operating revenues or achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

Certain work to be performed at our facility may require us to apply for permits from federal, state or local regulatory bodies.

If our applications for permits from the relevant regulatory bodies are denied, we may not be able to proceed with our development programs as disclosed above, which could have a negative effect on our business.

If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may not be able to implement our business plan and our business will fail.

Our success will largely depend on our ability to hire highly qualified personnel with experience in the geological field. These individuals may be in high demand and we may not be able to attract the staff we need. In addition, we may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by qualified personnel, or may lose such employees after they are hired. Our failure to hire key personnel when needed could have a significant negative effect on our business.

If we complete additional financings through the sale of shares of our common stock, our existing stockholders will experience dilution.

The most likely source of future financing presently available to us is through the issuance of our common stock. Issuing shares of our common stock, for financing purposes or otherwise, will dilute the interests of our existing stockholders.

Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be more limited in their ability to sell their stock.

Our common stock is considered to be a “penny stock” since it does not qualify for one of the exemptions from the definition of “penny stock” under Section 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. Our common stock is a “penny stock” because it meets one or more of the following conditions (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is not traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (iii) it is not quoted on the Nasdaq Stock Market, or even if so, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) is issued by a company that has been in business less than three years with net tangible assets less than $5 million.

The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock will be subject to the “penny stock” regulations set forth in Rules 15-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For example, Rule 15g-2 requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult and time consuming for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

ITEM 2.

PROPERTIES.

Our principal office is at 1080 Wigwam Pkwy., Henderson, NV 89052, consisting of approximately 100 square feet, which we rent at a cost of $400 per month. The lease agreement is month-to-month.

We also rent premises located at 7815 E. Thunderbird Rd., Scottsdale, AZ 85260, for use as corporate housing, at a cost of $2,600 per month. The lease agreement is month-to-month.

We also lease our Scottsdale Facility located at 14325 N. 79^th St., Scottsdale, AZ 85260. The Scottsdale Facility is leased pursuant to a Lease Agreement dated June 6, 2011 with Cimarron Industrial Partners, LLC at a cost of $3,486 per month. The Scottsdale Facility consists of office and warehouse space of approximately 4,550 square feet. This lease agreement is month-to-month.

ITEM 3.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

We received a verified complaint (the “Complaint”), dated September 12, 2013, that was filed in Arizona Superior Court, Maricopa County, by McKendry Enterprises, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan and Retirement Trust (the “Landlord”), alleging breach of contract and breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing in relation to the lease agreement dated June 6, 2007, between the Landlord and the Company, as amended (the “Lease Agreement”). The Complaint sought to recover damages of at least $108,581, including, but not limited to: 1) $56,358 rent; 2) $52,223 for maintenance, clean-up costs and construction; and 3) undetermined damages for additional repair, clean up and legal fees.

On October 22, 2014, the Company reached a settlement with the Landlord to pay $70,000 as follows: $5,000 on or before November 24, 2014; $5,000 payable 90 days thereafter; six payments of $7,000 due every 90 days thereafter; and two $9,000 payments due every 90 days thereafter. Each payment had a 3-day cure/grace period. Any later payment would trigger a default and immediate recordation/enforcement of a judgment. Payment was secured by a judgment for $78,969 plus attorney fees incurred by Landlord to date, plus any further attorney fees incurred in relation to the judgment. As of April 30, 2017, the Company had fully paid the liability related to this matter.

On May 1, 2015, we received an amended Notice of Civil Claim (the “Claim”), dated April 1, 2015 (original filed on December 31, 2014), that was filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, by 1254859 Ontario Inc. (the “Plaintiff”), alleging breach of specific performance and breach of contract in relation to the Golden Anvil Asset Purchase by Gainey (see Note 3). The Plaintiff seeks to recover damages of including, but not limited to: 1) 1,000,000 shares of Gainey stock; 2) damages in lieu of specific performance; and 3) damages for breach of contract.

On June 1, 2015, we filed a Response to Civil Claim, denying: 1) entering into any oral agreement; 2) that the Plaintiff presented a potential transaction with Gainey; 3) that there was any fee payable to Plaintiff upon completion of a transaction with Gainey; 4) any existence of an agreement with Plaintiff and as such, the Gainey transaction was not related to any agreement with Plaintiff; and 5) any obligation to pay a fee to Plaintiff, contractually or otherwise. While the Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully defend the lawsuit.

On January 29, 2016, the Plaintiff filed a Notice of Application (the “Injunction Application”) in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, seeking an injunction to prohibit the distribution of shares of Gainey Capital Corp. held by the Company. A hearing took place on March 17, 2016. The Company successfully opposed the Injunction Application and on June 16, 2016 the Injunction Application was dismissed against the Company.

REGISTERED HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK

As of July 27, 2017 there were 141 registered holders of record of our common stock. A larger number of stockholders hold stock on deposit with their brokers or investment bankers registered in the name of stock depositories.

DIVIDENDS

We have neither declared nor paid any cash dividends on our capital stock since our inception and do not contemplate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. It is anticipated that earnings, if any, will be retained for the operation of our business. Our board of directors will determine future dividend declarations and payments, if any, in light of the then-current conditions they deem relevant and in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes.

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or in our bylaws which prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of a dividend:

	(a)	We would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or

	(b)	Our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving distributions.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

No unregistered sales of our equity securities were made during the year ended April 30, 2017.

Revenues

During the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016, we earned no revenues. We are currently in the exploration stage of our business. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to develop a commercially viable process or earn significant revenue from the processing of fly ash or other materials.

Operating Expenses

The major components of our operating expenses for the years ended April 30, 2017 and 2016 are outlined in the table below:

Gain on sale of marketable securities		(13,199	)		-	100.0%
Total operating expenses	$	878,333		$	748,292	17.4%

Our operating expenses for the year ended April 30, 2017 increased as compared to the year ended April 30, 2016. The increase in our operating expenses primarily relates to the recording of losses from our entry into a joint venture settlement agreement. This is partially offset by a decrease in mineral exploration and evaluation expenses, and a other than temporary loss of marketable securities in the prior year.

Mineral exploration and evaluation expenses primarily consist of rent, consulting fees and labor expenses in our Scottsdale Facility.

Our general and administrative expenses primarily consist of: (i) monthly consulting fees paid to our Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Mitchell; (ii) legal and audit fees in connection with meeting our reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and (iii) travel expenses for our executives and directors.

Other than temporary loss on marketable securities relates to the impairment losses recognized for the continued decline in stock price of our Gainey Capital Corp shares.

Loss on marketable securities on joint venture settlement and loss on joint venture settlement relates to our entry into an amended and restated loan and joint venture agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) with GJS Capital Corp. (the "Creditor") and Gregg Sedun (the “Consultant”). The Amendment Agreement replaces in its entirety the original loan and joint venture agreement (the “Original Agreement”) dated April 16, 2014, between the Creditor and us. Under the terms of the Amendment Agreement, the Creditor has agreed to extend the previously advanced $150,000 Convertible Loan (the “Principal”). The loan bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum, compounded annually and is due on demand. We settled $329,000 in joint venture contributed capital in exchange for 15,065,570 shares of our common stock. Also, we transferred, 1,400,000 of our 1,600,000 common shares of Gainey Capital Corp. to the Creditor. The Creditor represented that it was not a "US Person" as that term is defined by Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Gain on sale of marketable securities relates to the sale of shares of Gainey Capital Corp. that were held by the Company.

We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase significantly as we implement our plan of operation for our Scottsdale Facility.

Working Capital Deficit	$	(1,621,888	)	$	(2,206,781	)	(26.5%)

As at April 30, 2017, we had a working capital deficit of $1,621,888 as compared to a working capital deficit of $2,206,781 as at our year ended April 30, 2016. The decrease in our working capital deficit is primarily due to $1,149,000 of convertible loans payable-related parties reclassified to non-current liabilities, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable–related parties and accrued interest-related parties.

Financing Requirements

Currently, we do not have sufficient financial resources to complete our plan of operation for the next twelve months. As such, our ability to complete our plan of operation is dependent upon our ability to obtain additional financing in the near term.

We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our planned mining, development, and exploration activities.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 to our audited financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant areas requiring estimates and assumptions include the valuation of stock-based compensation, impairment analysis of long-lived assets, and realizability of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates

Research and Development - All research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is principally provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 3 to 10 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operating expenses.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - We review and evaluate long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC 360-10-35-17, Measurement of an Impairment Loss, if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable.

Stock-Based Compensation – We account for share-based payments in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award. In accordance with ASC 718-10-30-9, Measurement Objective – Fair Value at Grant Date, we estimate the fair value of the award using a valuation technique. For this purpose, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We believe this model provides the best estimate of fair value due to its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such as volatility and interest rates, and to allow for actual exercise behavior of option holders. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period which is generally equal to the vesting period. Upon exercise, shares issued will be newly issued shares from authorized common stock.

ASC 505, "Compensation-Stock Compensation", establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments to non-employees for goods or services. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Royal Mines and Minerals Corp

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Royal Mines and Minerals Corp (the “Company”) as of April 30, 2017, and 2016, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2017. Royal Mines and Minerals Corp’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Royal Mines and Minerals Corp. as of April 30, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ROYAL MINES AND MINERALS CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2017 AND 2016
(AUDITED)

1.	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, HISTORY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT POLICIES

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Royal Mines and Minerals Corp’s (the “Company”) fiscal year-end is April 30.

Description of Business – The Company is focused on the development of mining technologies for the proficient extraction of precious metals. The Company's primary objectives are to 1) commercially and viably extract and refine precious metals from specific coal ash (fly and bottom), ores and other leachable assets, 2) use its proprietary processes to convert specific ore bodies and coal ash landfills into valuable assets, and 3) joint venture, acquire and develop mining projects in North America. The Company has not yet realized significant revenues from its primary objectives.

History – The Company was incorporated on December 14, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On June 13, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Royal Mines Acquisition Corp., in the state of Nevada.

On October 5, 2007, Centrus Ventures Inc. (Centrus) completed the acquisition of Royal Mines Inc. (“Royal Mines”). The acquisition of Royal Mines was completed by way of a “triangular merger” pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 24, 2007 (the “First Merger Agreement”) among Centrus, Royal Mines Acquisition Corp. (“Centrus Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Centrus, Royal Mines and Kevin B. Epp, the former sole executive officer and director of Centrus. On October 5, 2007, under the terms of the First Merger Agreement, Royal Mines was merged with and into Centrus Sub, with Centrus Sub continuing as the surviving corporation (the “First Merger”).

On October 6, 2007, a second merger was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated October 6, 2007 (the “Second Merger Agreement”) between Centrus and its wholly owned subsidiary, Centrus Sub, whereby Centrus Sub was merged with and into Centrus, with Centrus continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Second Merger”). As part of the Second Merger, Centrus changed its name from “Centrus Ventures Inc.” to “Royal Mines And Minerals Corp.”(“the Company”). Other than the name change, no amendments were made to the Articles of Incorporation.

Under the terms and conditions of the First Merger Agreement, each share of Royal Mines’ common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the First Merger was converted into one share of Centrus’ common stock. As a result, a total of 32,183,326 shares of Centrus common stock were issued to former stockholders of Royal Mines. In addition, Mr. Epp surrendered 23,500,000 shares of Centrus common stock for cancellation in consideration of payment by Centrus of $0.001 per share for an aggregate consideration of $23,500. As a result, upon completion of the First Merger, the former stockholders of Royal Mines owned approximately 69.7% of the issued and outstanding common stock.

As such, Royal Mines is deemed to be the acquiring enterprise for financial reporting purposes. All acquired assets and liabilities of Centrus were recorded at fair value on the date of the acquisition, as required by the purchase method of accounting, and the tangible net liabilities were debited against equity of the Company. There are no continuing operations of Centrus from the date of acquisition.

Going Concern – The accompanying financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the next twelve months from the date the financial statements are issued and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business and does not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s history of losses, working capital deficit, capital deficit, minimal liquidity and other factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order for the Company to continue operations beyond the next twelve months and be able to discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business it must raise additional equity or debt capital and continue cost cutting measures. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve sustainable profitable operations or obtain additional funds when needed or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to management.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(AUDITED)

If the Company continues to incur operating losses and does not raise sufficient additional capital, material adverse events may occur including, but not limited to, 1) a reduction in the nature and scope of the Company’s operations and 2) the Company’s inability to fully implement its current business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully improve its liquidity position. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might be required resulting from the adverse outcome relating to this uncertainty.

As of April 30, 2017, the Company had cumulative net losses of $19,570,019 from operations since inception and had a working capital deficit of $1,621,888. For the year ended April 30, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,015,672 and had net cash used in operating activities of $494,253. For the year ended April 30, 2016 the Company incurred a net loss of $839,773 and had net cash used in operating activities of $515,800. The Company has not fully started its minerals processing operations, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

To address liquidity constraints, the Company will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of equity or debt financing. Additionally, the Company has reduced expenses, elected to defer payment of certain obligations, deferred payment of our CEO’s salary and reduced staffing levels to conserve cash. The Company is focused on continuing to reduce costs and obtaining additional funding. There is no assurance that such funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all. If the Company raises additional funds by selling additional shares of capital stock, securities convertible into shares of capital stock, or by issuing debt convertible into shares of capital stock, the ownership interest of the Company’s existing common stock holders will be diluted.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. By their nature, these estimates are subject to measurement uncertainty and the effect on the financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be significant. Significant areas requiring management’s estimates and assumptions include the valuation of stock-based compensation, impairment analysis of long-lived assets, and the realizability of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be a cash equivalent.

Fair Value - ASC 825, Financial Instruments requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 825 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1

Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

F-6

ROYAL MINES AND MINERALS CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APRIL 30, 2017 AND 2016
(AUDITED)

Level 2

Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3

Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Pursuant to ASC 825, the fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, other assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and loans payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of April 30, 2017 and 2016 as follows:

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are generally 3 to 10 years. The cost of repairs and maintenance is charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for property betterments and renewals are capitalized. Upon sale or other disposition of a depreciable asset, cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operating expenses.

Mineral Exploration and Development Costs – Exploration expenditures incurred prior to entering the development stage are expensed and included in mineral exploration and evaluation expense.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC 360-10-35-17, Measurement of an Impairment Loss, if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount might not be recoverable.

Various factors could impact our ability to achieve forecasted production schedules. Additionally, commodity prices, capital expenditure requirements and reclamation costs could differ from the assumptions the Company may use in cash flow models used to assess impairment. The ability to achieve the estimated quantities of recoverable minerals from mineral interests involves further risks in addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of confidence that the identified mineralized material can ultimately be mined economically.

Research and Development - All research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred.

Per Share Amounts - Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In computing diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is adjusted to reflect the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive shares, such as stock options and warrants, are excluded from the calculation when their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, such as when the exercise price of the instrument exceeds the fair market value of the Company’s common stock and when a net loss is reported. The dilutive effect of convertible debt securities is reflected in the diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation using the if-converted method. Conversion of the debt securities is not assumed for purposes of calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share if the effect is anti-dilutive. As of April 30, 2017 and 2016, stock options and warrants outstanding were 169,325,129 and 165,785,129 respectively, but were not considered in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes - The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

For acquired properties that do not constitute a business a deferred income tax liability is recorded on GAAP basis over income tax basis using statutory federal and state rates. The resulting estimated future federal and state income tax liability associated with the temporary difference between the acquisition consideration and the tax basis is computed in accordance with ASC 740-10-25-51, Acquired Temporary Differences in Certain Purchase Transactions that are Not Accounted for as Business Combinations , and is reflected as an increase to the total purchase price which is then applied to the underlying acquired assets in the absence of there being a goodwill component associated with the acquisition transactions.

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company accounts for share based payments in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award. In accordance with ASC 718-10-30-9, Measurement Objective – Fair Value at Grant Date, the Company estimates the fair value of the award using a valuation technique. For this purpose, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company believes this model provides the best estimate of fair value due to its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such as volatility and interest rates. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period which is generally equal to the vesting period. Upon exercise, shares issued will be newly issued shares from authorized common stock.

Recent Accounting Standards – From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards did not or will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases. The standard requires that a lessee recognize on the balance sheet assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. The recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease have not significantly changed from the previous GAAP. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within such fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. The ASU requires a modified retrospective transition method with the option to elect a package of practical expedients. Adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 which simplifies income tax accounting. The update requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and noncurrent amounts. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. Adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have an impact on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

2.	SCOTTSDALE FACILITY AGREEMENT

On April 16, 2014, the Company entered into a loan and joint venture agreement (the “Agreement”) with GJS Capital Corp. (the "Creditor"). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Creditor loaned the Company $150,000 via a convertible note (the “Principal”) and agreed to form a joint venture with the Company for constructing and operating a processing plant at the Scottsdale facility, an existing facility, utilizing the Company’s licensed Technology. In addition, the Creditor was to advance $250,000 plus up to 15% for contingencies, a total of $287,500, to fund the initial construction and operation costs of the joint venture. The advances were not expected to be paid back to the Creditor. The Company received a total of $329,000 towards the joint venture and treated the funds as contributed capital, since in substance the Creditor secured future revenue of the Scottsdale facility operations with such funds.

On September 23, 2016, the Company entered into an amended and restated loan and joint venture agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) with the Creditor and Gregg Sedun (the “Consultant”). The Amendment Agreement replaces in its entirety the Agreement, between the Company and the Creditor.

Under the terms of the Amendment Agreement, the Creditor has agreed to extend the Principal. The loan bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum, compounded annually and is due on demand. The Company settled the $329,000 joint venture advance in exchange for 15,065,570 shares of common stock of the Company, along with 1,400,000 of the Company’s common shares of Gainey Capital Corp.

At any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Creditor may elect to receive units (each a “Unit") of the Company in exchange for any portion of the Principal outstanding based on one Unit for each $0.05 of indebtedness converted (the “Unit Conversion Option"). Each Unit consists of one share of the Company’s common stock and one warrant to purchase an additional share of the Company's common stock at a price of $0.10 per share for two years from the date of issuance. If the Creditor exercises the Unit Conversion Option, the Creditor will forgive the interest that accrued on the converted portion of the Principal.

If the Creditor exercises the Unit Conversion Option, the Creditor will receive a net profits interest (the “Net Profits Interest”) on any future profits received by the Company that are derived from the Company’s Technology based on 1% of the Company’s net profits for every $10,000 of converted Principal. The Net Profits Interest will terminate when the Creditor receives eight times the amount of converted Principal.

The Company also agreed that in circumstances where the Consultant introduces sub-licensees or joint venture partners (“Partnership Interest”) to the Company for using the Company’s Technology, the Company shall pay 20% of the net cash proceeds received by the Company from the Partnership Interest to the Consultant. The Company is under no obligation to enter into an agreement or terminate any future agreement with any Partnership Interest.

Realized investment gains and losses are included in the statement of operations, as are provisions for other-than-temporary declines in the market value of available-for-sale securities. Unrealized gains and unrealized losses deemed to be temporary are excluded from earnings (losses), net of applicable taxes, as a component of other comprehensive income. Factors considered in judging whether an impairment is other than temporary include the financial condition, business prospects and creditworthiness of the issuer, the length of time that fair value has been less than cost, the relative amount of decline, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment until the fair value recovers.

For the year ended April 30, 2017, the Company incurred $198,000, in consulting fees expense from companies with a common director or officer, and $21,425 in compensation expense for the issuance of stock options to directors and officers of the Company.

14.	INCOME TAXES

FASB ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.

FASB ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been recorded. The total deferred tax asset is $4,410,288 which is calculated by multiplying a 35% estimated tax rate by the cumulative net operating loss (NOL) adjusted for the following items:

For the period ended April 30,		2017			2016
Book loss for the year	$	(1,015,672	)	$	(839,773	)
Adjustments:

We carried out an assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of April 30, 2017 (the “Evaluation Date”). This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for us, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of the Evaluation Date, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on its assessment, management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of the Evaluation Date.

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

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

Our management does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures, nor its internal control over financial reporting, will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives and our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable, but not absolute, assurance level. 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 the costs.

Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no assessment of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected. Inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a 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 internal 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 in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate or the controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions.

Set forth below is a brief description of the background and business experience of our executive officers and directors:

K. Ian Matheson was appointed a member of our Board of Directors on June 25, 2008 and our Chief Executive Officer and President on November 19, 2008. Mr. Matheson earned a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of British Columbia in 1963. In 1964 and 1965 he attended McGill University in Montreal, Quebec where he earned a degree as a Chartered Accountant at the Quebec Institute of Chartered Accountants. He was admitted into the British Columbia Institute of Chartered Accountants in 1965. From 1965 to 1967 he worked as a Chartered Accountant with Coopers and Lybrand in Vancouver, BC. He is presently a member of the British Columbia Institute of Chartered Accountants and the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants. Mr. Matheson was a member of the board of directors of Searchlight Minerals Corp. (OTCBB) from February 10, 2005 to February 16, 2007. Mr. Matheson has also been a director and officer of numerous private companies that have been involved in the research and development of precious metals in the southern Nevada area.

Jason S. Mitchell was appointed our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer on February 1, 2008, our Secretary on November 19, 2008, and a member of our Board of Directors on May 28, 2008. Mr. Mitchell earned a Masters of Accountancy degree from Southern Utah University in 1994. He is a Certified Public Accountant, who has, since April, 2005, been a self-employed financial consultant, providing consulting services and preparing financial statements for numerous companies. From October 1998 to October 2004, Mr. Mitchell was a corporate controller, principal accounting officer, vice president and manager of merger and acquisitions for USI Holdings Corporation, a Nasdaq listed insurance brokerage firm where Mr. Mitchell oversaw financial reporting responsibilities, prepared SEC annual and quarterly filings, generated financial models and assisted in its October 2002 $90 million initial public offering. From October 1994 to September 1998, Mr. Mitchell worked as an auditor for Arthur Andersen LLP and KPMG Peat Marwick.

Michael C. Boyko was appointed a member of our Board of Directors on April 2, 2009. Mr. Boyko obtained his Bachelor of Science in Finance from Arizona State University and is a member of the AMIGOS – Arizona Mining Association and the Arizona Society for Mining Engineers.

From 2001 to 2003, Mr. Boyko was employed at T.A. Caid Industries, a private company, where he developed a new business segment focused on equipment representation and sales to mines and power plants. From 1998 to 2001, Mr. Boyko was the managing partner and vice president of business development of BME Engineering, a private company that focused on industrial process equipment for mines and power plants, where he managed sales, marketing and manufacturing. Mr. Boyko is also Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) certified.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our board of directors does not maintain a separately-designated standing audit committee. As a result, all of our directors act as our audit committee. K. Ian Matheson, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and Jason S. Mitchell, our Chief Financial Officer, each meet the definition of an “audit committee financial expert.” Mr. Matheson and Mr. Mitchell are not independent as they act as executive officers.

We presently do not have a compensation committee, nominating committee, an executive committee of our board of directors, stock plan committee or any other committees.

TERMS OF OFFICE

Our directors are elected to hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders and until their respective successors have been elected and qualified. Our executive officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by our board of directors, or until their successors are appointed.

CODE OF ETHICS

We adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our executive officers and directors, which is a “code of ethics” as defined by applicable rules of the SEC. Our Code of Ethics was attached as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007, filed on July 30, 2007. If we make any amendments to our Code of Ethics other than technical, administrative, or other non-substantive amendments, or grant any waivers, including implicit waivers, from a provision of our Code of Ethics to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or certain other finance executives, we will disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver, its effective date and to whom it applies in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our securities (“Reporting Persons”), to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all forms they file pursuant to Section 16(a). Based solely on our review of such reports received by the Company, the Company has determined that the following persons have failed to file, on a timely basis, the identified reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act:

Name and Principal Position	Number of Late Insider Reports	Transactions Not Timely Reported	Known Failures to File a Required Form
K. Ian Matheson Chief Executive Officer, President and Director	None	None	None

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The following table sets forth certain information concerning all equity compensation plans previously approved by stockholders and all previous equity compensation plans not previously approved by stockholders, as of the most recently completed fiscal year.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

Equity Compensation Plans Not Approved By Security Holders	0	0	0

2013 Stock Option Plan

Effective June 20, 2013, we adopted the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan"). The 2013 Plan allows us to grant certain options to our directors, officers, employees, and eligible consultants. The purpose of the 2013 Plan is to enhance our long-term stockholder value by offering opportunities to our directors, officers, employees, and eligible consultants to acquire and maintain stock ownership in us in order to give these persons the opportunity to participate in our growth and success, and to encourage them to remain in our service.

The 2013 Plan allows us to grant options to our officers, directors, and employees. In addition, we may grant options to individuals who act as our consultants, so long as those consultants do not provide services connected to the offer or sale of our securities in capital raising transactions and do not directly or indirectly promote or maintain a market for our securities.

A total of 36,779,881 shares of our common stock are available for issuance under the 2013 Plan. We may increase the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be optioned and sold under the 2013 Plan provided the maximum aggregate number of shares that may be optioned and sold under the 2013 Plan shall at no time be greater than 15% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding less any other outstanding options issued under previous stock option plans.

The 2013 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options granted under the 2013 Plan are those intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” as defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. However, in order to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, the 2013 Plan must be approved by our stockholders within 12 months of its adoption. The 2013 Plan has not been approved by our stockholders. Non-qualified stock options granted under the 2013 Plan are option grants that do not qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Options granted under the 2013 Plan are non-transferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

The 2013 Plan terminates on June 20, 2023, unless sooner terminated by action of our Board of Directors. No option is exercisable by any person after such expiration. If an award expires, terminates, or is canceled, the shares of our common stock not purchased thereunder shall again be available for issuance under the 2013 Plan.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information concerning the number of shares of our common stock owned beneficially as of July 27, 2017 by: (i) each person (including any group) known to us to own more than five percent (5%) of any class of our voting securities, (ii) each of our directors and each of our named executive officers (as defined under Item 402(m)(2) of Regulation S-K), and (iii) officers and directors as a group.

Notes:

(1)	Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of common shares actually outstanding on July 7, 2017. As of July 2, 2017, there were 245,199,204 common shares issued and outstanding.

(2)	The number of shares listed as beneficially owned by Mr. Matheson consists of: (i) 32,251,000 shares, 180,000 shares held in trust, options to purchase 10,500,000 shares and warrants to acquire 26,300,000 shares held directly by Mr. Matheson; and (ii) 33,150,000 shares, options to acquire 4,000,000 shares and warrants to acquire 16,340,000 shares held indirectly by Mr. Matheson through E-Ore Holdings LLC and Gold Crown Holdings LLC, companies controlled by Mr. Matheson.

(3)	The number of shares listed as beneficially owned by Mr. Mitchell consists of: (i) 9,350,000 shares, options to purchase 10,500,000 shares and warrants to acquire 2,200,000 shares held directly by Mr. Mitchell; and (ii) 46,050,000 shares, options to acquire 4,000,000 shares and warrants to acquire 29,240,000 shares held indirectly by Mr. Mitchell through E-Ore Holdings LLC, PPI Holdings LLC, Gold Crown Holdings LLC and Cedar Financial Inc., companies controlled by Mr. Mitchell.

(4)	The number of shares listed as beneficially owned by Mr. Boyko consists of: (i) 2,500,000 shares, options to acquire 3,300,000 shares and warrants to acquire 1,100,000 shares held directly by Mr. Boyko.

(5)	The number of shares listed as beneficially owned by E-Ore Holdings LLC, consists of 28,110,000 shares, options to acquire 4,000,000 shares and warrants to acquire 9,500,000 shares held directly by E-Ore Holdings LLC.

(6)	The number of shares listed as beneficially owned by Mrs. Matheson consists of 14,250,000 shares, and warrants to acquire 13,100,000 shares held directly by Mrs. Matheson.

(7)	The number of shares listed as beneficially owned by PPI Holdings LLC consists of 12,400,000 shares and warrants to acquire 12,400,000 shares held directly by PPI Holdings LLC.

(8)	The number of shares listed as beneficially owned by The Roles Living Trust consists of 10,000,000 shares, and warrants to acquire 10,300,000 shares held directly by The Roles Living Trust.

(9)	The number of shares listed as beneficially owned by GJS Capital Corp consists of 15,065,570 shares held directly by GJS Capital Corp.

(10)	The number of shares listed as beneficially owned by Mr. B. Matheson consists of 3,500,000 shares and warrants to acquire 10,500,000 shares held directly by Mr. B. Matheson.

CHANGES IN CONTROL

We are not aware of any arrangement that might result in a change in control in the future.

ITEM 13.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Except as described below, none of the following parties has, during the last two fiscal years, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with us or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect us, other than noted in this section:

	(i)	Any of our directors or officers;
	(ii)	Any person proposed as a nominee for election as a director;
	(iii)	Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to our outstanding shares of common stock;
	(iv)	Any of our promoters; and
	(v)	Any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons who has the same house as such person.

Indebtedness

We have received a number of loans from our directors, officers and companies controlled by our directors and officers. The funds received from these loans have been used by us as general working capital as we pursue our plan of operation. As of April 30, 2017 and 2016, loans payable – related parties was $1,277,000 and $878,000, respectively. As of April 30, 2017 and 2016, accrued interest – related parties was $316,861 and $206,581, respectively. A detail of the amounts owed to related parties is provided below:

(a)	As at April 30, 2017 and 2016, we were indebted to Mr. Matheson for principal amounts totaling $1,269,000 and $869,000, respectively. The balance bears 10% interest per annum, is secured by equipment in the Scottsdale plant and due December 31, 2018. Accrued Interest at April 30, 2017 and 2016 totaled $314,814 and $205,345, respectively. As at April 30, 2017 and 2016 we are indebted to Mr. Matheson for $375,000 and $315,000, respectively, in accrued compensation.

(b)	As at April 30, 2017 and 2016, we were indebted to PPI Holdings LLC, a company controlled by Mr. Mitchell, for principal amount totaling zero and $1,000, respectively.

(c)	As at April 30, 2017 and 2016, we were indebted to E-Ore Holdings LLC, a company controlled by Mr. Matheson and Mr. Mitchell, in the principal amount of $8,000. The amount bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, is unsecured and due on demand. Accrued Interest at April 30, 2017 and 2016 totaled $2,047 and $1,236, respectively.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board inter-dealer quotation system, which does not have director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2), a director is not considered to be independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation. All of our directors are considered executive officers under Rule 3b-7 of the Exchange Act. Therefore, none of our directors are independent.

As a result of our limited operating history and minimal resources, our management believes that it will have difficulty in attracting independent directors. In addition, we would likely be required to obtain directors and officers insurance coverage in order to attract and retain independent directors. Our management believes that the costs associated with maintaining such insurance is prohibitive at this time.

ITEM 14.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES.
