1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Organization

Lode-Star Mining Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A., on December 9, 2004. The Company’s principal executive offices are located in Cypress, Texas. The Company was originally formed for the purpose of acquiring exploration stage natural resource properties. The Company acquired a mineral property interest from Lode Star Gold Inc., a private Nevada corporation (“LSG”) on December 11, 2014 in consideration for the issuance of 35,000,000 common shares of the Company. As a result of this transaction, control of the Company was acquired by LSG.

Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to establish a business and to obtain new financing to execute its business plan. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has had no revenue and has incurred accumulated losses of $2,263,649 as of September 30, 2017. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. The Company is significantly dependent upon its ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure additional equity and/or debt financing. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful and without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company assumes that the users of the interim financial information herein have read, or have access to, the audited financial statements for the preceding fiscal year, and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnote disclosures, which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, have been omitted. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year ending December 31, 2017.

2.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment. All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality.

The Company has implemented all applicable new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. Those pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

3.	MINERAL PROPERTY INTEREST

On February 17, 2017, the Company executed an agreement with Scorpio Gold Corporation for a pilot toll milling test of its mineralized material. Presently, the Company is waiting on completion of the pilot test's metallurgical work to further define its milling needs. The Company expects to provide material from its targeted underground zone for more comprehensive milling results when we are permitted to do so.

Given that permitting for operations on the Property is still to be completed, on January 11, 2017 LSG agreed to defer payment of all amounts due in accordance with the Mineral Option Agreement until further notice. On January 17, 2017, the Company and LSG agreed that as of January 1, 2017, all outstanding balances shall carry a compound interest rate of 5% per annum. It was further agreed that the ongoing payment deferral shall apply to both interest and principal. The total amount of such fees due at September 30, 2017 was $298,913 (December 31, 2016: $223,913), with total interest due in the amount of $8,374 (December 31, 2016: $0).

NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016

(Unaudited)

3.	MINERAL PROPERTY INTEREST (Continued)

We have agreed with LSG that upon the successful completion of the pilot test and subsequently, a toll milling agreement after permitting is achieved, we will have the basis to form a joint management committee to outline work programs and budgets, as contemplated in our Option agreement dated October 4, 2014, and for us to act as the operator of the property.

The Company assessed its mineral property interest to the date of issue of these financial statements and concluded that facts and circumstances do not suggest that the mineral property interest’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount and therefore no impairment is required.

4.	CAPITAL STOCK

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company had no subscriptions for shares of its common stock and no preferred shares have been issued.

Options

On February 14, 2017, the Company granted 9,500,000 non-qualified stock options pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, to key corporate officers and outside consultants, with 25% vesting immediately and a further 25% vesting every six months thereafter for eighteen months. Each option is exercisable into one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.06 per share, equal to the closing price of the common stock on the grant date, for a term of five years. The options had an estimated grant date fair value of $536,750. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, $393,565 has been included in Consulting services expense based on fair value estimates determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with an average risk-free rate of 1.93%, a weighted average life of 4.92 years, volatility of 192.19% and dividend yield of 0%. The valuation used average weekly pricing. At September 30, 2017, the options had an intrinsic value of $0 based on the exercise price of $0.06 per option and a market price of $0.04 per share.

A summary of option activity in the current nine month period and options outstanding at September 30, 2017 is as follows:

	Options
	Issued	Vested	Exercise Price	Weighted Average Exercise Price	Weighted Average Life Remaining (Years)	Expiry Date	Intrinsic Value

Warrants

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, no warrants to purchase shares of common stock were issued and no warrants were exercised. At September 30, 2017, warrants issued in 2015 had an intrinsic value of $66,721 based on the exercise price of $0.02 per warrant and a market price of $0.04 per share.

A summary of warrant activity in the current nine month period and warrants outstanding at September 30, 2017 is as follows:

In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this report. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results

Mineral Property Interest

On August 29, 2014, we entered into a Letter of Intent (the “LSG LOI”) with Lode-Star Gold, Inc. (“LSG"), a private Nevada corporation, pursuant to which we agreed to issue shares of our common stock and make certain payments to LSG in consideration for the acquisition of an interest in LSG's Nevada Goldfield Bonanza property (the “Property”). As a result of the intended transaction, control of us would be acquired by LSG.

On October 4, 2014, we entered into a definitive mineral option agreement (the "Option Agreement") which superseded the LSG LOI. Pursuant to the Option Agreement, we were to issue LSG 35,000,000 shares of our common stock in exchange for a 20% undivided interest in the Property (the “Acquisition”). In order to earn an additional 60% undivided interest in the Property (for a total of 80%), we are required to fund all expenditures on the Property and pay LSG an aggregate of $5 million in cash in the form of a net smelter returns ("NSR") royalty, each beginning on the closing date of a subscription agreement for the shares (the “Closing Date”). Until we have earned the additional 60% interest, the NSR royalty will be split with 79.2% to LSG, 19.8% to and 1% to the former Property owner.

The Property is located in west-central Nevada, in the Goldfield Mining District at Latitude 37° 42’, and Longitude 117° 14’. The claims comprising the Property are located in surveyed sections 35 and 36, Township 2 South, Range 42 East, and in sections 1, 2, 11, and 12, Township 3 South, Range 42 East, in Esmeralda County, Nevada. The Property is accessible by traveling approximately one-half mile northeast of the community of Goldfield, along a county-maintained road that originates at U.S. Highway 95, which runs through “downtown” Goldfield. The town of Goldfield, which is the Esmeralda county seat (population 300), is approximately 200 air miles south of Reno and 180 air miles north of Las Vegas.

The Property consists of 31 patented claims covering a total of approximately 460 acres, or 186 hectares. The claims are owned as private land by LSG, and only annual property taxes must be paid.

Recent Developments

For Q3, all work and processes as described below are continuing. No material, additional developments have occurred since the end of Q2.

Permitting for operations on the Property has yet to be completed. On January 11, 2017, LSG agreed to defer payment of all amounts due in accordance with the Mineral Option Agreement until further notice. On January 17, 2017, we agreed with LSG that as of January 1, 2017, all outstanding balances shall carry a compound interest rate of 5% per annum. It was further agreed that the ongoing payment deferral shall apply to both interest and principal.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

We filed our permit application with NDEP on April 5, 2017. NDEP has completed its Administrative Review of the application and is underway with its Technical Review. We received the technical review letter on 10/20/2017 requesting additional information on a small number of engineering and hydrology concerns as well as recommendations on some additional matters. We are expecting to return our answers and feedback for this letter within 30 days. Following successful review of the technical questions, the permit will be out for public review for a period of 60 days.

On February 17, 2017, we executed an agreement with Scorpio Gold Corporation (Scorpio) for a pilot toll milling test. In May we completed the pilot test at Scorpio's Goldwedge mill. The sample processed was historic material stockpiled on LSMG's property surface and therefore of limited metallurgical value but indicative of material that will be run through the mill. Milling throughput did identify specific equipment configuration details that need to be considered for future runs. Presently, the Company is waiting on completion of the pilot test's metallurgical work to further define its milling needs. The Company expects to provide material from its targeted underground zone for more comprehensive milling results when we are permitted to do so.

The Company has recently filed its Notification of Commencement to both State of Nevada and Federal MSHA agencies, in order to reoccupy our mine workings. The company has filed with MSHA for Small and Remote Mine Application for Alternative Mine Rescue Capability and awaiting review.

We have agreed with LSG that upon the successful completion of the pilot test and subsequently, a toll milling agreement, we will have the basis to form a joint management committee to outline work programs and budgets, as contemplated in our Option agreement dated October 4, 2014, and for us to act as the operator of the property.

Personnel

We have no employees. Our president and CEO, Mark Walmesley, receives no compensation for his services. We expect to continue to use outside consultants, advisors, attorneys and accountants as necessary.

Our Chief Operating Officer, Thomas Temkin, who is also a director, is a Certified Professional Geologist and a Qualified Person under National Instrument (NI) 43101, with more than 38 years of experience in the mining industry, primarily in exploration in the Western United States. He is currently a consulting geologist working with LSG. Mr. Temkin has been associated with LSG and the Property for over 15 years and has been instrumental through its entire exploration program to date.

Our Corporate Secretary, Pam Walters, has been associated with the mining industry for over 25 years and has managed the corporate finance and business operations of LSG and its owners.

Plan of Operations

Our primary objective remains the completion of our Surface Separation Facility permit, to allow processing of material extracted from our targeted underground zones. This entails having a toll milling agreement with an existing milling operation to handle processing of our mineralized material, as well as the tomb-stoning of the tailings from that mineralized material. As detailed above, on February 17, 2017 we executed an agreement with Scorpio Gold Corporation for a pilot toll milling test of our mineralized material. We completed the first test in May 2017 and both companies have determined that further testing needs to be completed to determine a definitive cost analysis and other operational details.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

The following specialists in underground permitting of narrow vein, high sulfide mines are charged with executing the permitting process:

· Rubicon Environmental Consulting is the lead consultant

· Hydrogeologica Inc. consults on water and geology

· Tierra Group International consults on mine planning and engineering

Permitting costs are anticipated to be as follows:

Rubicon	$ 40,000
Hydrogeologica	$ 135,000
Tierra	$ 75,000
State / NDEP	$ 0
Total	$ 250,000

In addition to the permitting costs we expect development costs to come in as follows:

Site and Surface Preparation	$ 100,000
Equipment and Mining Materials	$ 500,000
Underground Rehab & Preliminary Mine Development	$ 110,000
Ore Grade Control	$ 50,000
Red Hill's Vein Zone Work	$ 270,000
General Corporate and Administration Fees	$ 720,000

Exploration

The Company is currently structuring a drill program, targeting expansion of its known gold zones.

Funding

The Property continues to be advanced by work executed by LSG. This interim advancement will continue for the foreseeable future.

We do not currently have sufficient funds to carry out our entire plan of operations, so we intend to meet the balance of our cash requirements for the next 12 months through a combination of debt financing and equity financing through private placements. Currently we are active in contacting broker/dealers regarding possible financing arrangements; however, we do not currently have any arrangements in place to complete any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any such financings.

If we are unsuccessful in obtaining sufficient funds through our capital raising efforts, we may review other financing options, although we cannot provide any assurance that any such options will be available to us or on terms reasonably acceptable to us. Further, if we are unable to secure any additional financing then we plan to reduce the amount that we spend on our operations, including our management-related consulting fees and other general expenses, so as not to exceed the capital resources available to us. Regardless, our current cash reserves and working capital will not be sufficient for us to sustain our business for the next 12 months, even if we decide to scale back our operations.

Going Concern

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our expenses. This is because we have not generated any revenues to date and we cannot currently estimate the timing of any possible future revenues. Our only source for cash at this time is investments by others in our common stock, or loans. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

Revenue	$ -	$ -	$ -	-
Operating Expenses	549,864	167,744	382,120	228 %
Operating Loss	(549,864 )	(167,744 )	(382,120 )	228 %

Net Loss	(583,509 )	(208,880 )	(374,629 )	179 %

Revenues

We had no operating revenues during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. We recorded a net loss of $153,794 for the quarter and $583,509 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and have an accumulated deficit of $2,263,649. The possibility and timing of revenue being generated from our mineral property interest remains uncertain.

Expenses

Notable year over year differences in expenses for the third quarter are as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30		Increase/(Decrease)
	2017	2016	Amount	Percentage
Consulting services	$ 100,659	$ 6,834	$ 93,825	1,373 %
Transfer and filing fees	$ 1,909	$ 5,074	$ (3,165 )	(62 %)
Interest, bank and finance charges	$ 11,600	$ 7,374	$ 4,226	57 %

■

Consulting services expense in the current third quarter included approximately $95,000 related to options granted during the first quarter of 2017. As those were the first options granted by the Company, there was no equivalent expense in the prior year’s Q3.

■

Transfer and filing fees were higher in Q3 of 2016 because of filing fees in that quarter for an amended 10-K and 10-Q, and an S-1, with no equivalent filing fees in Q3 of the current year.

■

Interest, bank and finance charges were higher in Q3 of 2017 primarily due to the average of interest-bearing principal loan balances being approximately $129,000 higher than in Q3 of 2016, plus approximately $2,800 in interest charged in Q3 of 2017 on accrued mineral option fees due to LSG, with no such charge in Q3 of 2016.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

Notable year over year differences in expenses for the nine months ended September 30 th are as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30		Increase/(Decrease)
	2017	2016	Amount	Percentage
Consulting services	$ 411,558	$ 18,657	$ 392,901	2,106 %
Exploration and evaluation	$ 3,190	$ -	$ 3,190	-
Office, foreign exchange and sundry	$ 5,600	$ 11,905	$ (6,305 )	(53 %)
Transfer and filing fees	$ 19,234	$ 24,485	$ (5,251 )	(21 %)
Interest, bank and finance charges	$ 33,645	$ 21,023	$ 12,622	60 %
Penalties	$ -	$ 20,113	$ (20,113 )	(100 %)

■

Consulting services expense in the current nine-month period included approximately $394,000 related to options granted during the first quarter of 2017. As those were the first options granted by the Company, there was no equivalent expense in the same period in the prior year.

■

Exploration and evaluation expenses in the current nine-month period were due to the pilot toll milling test of our mineralized material. There was no such expense in 2016.

■

Office, foreign exchange and sundry expenses were lower in the current nine-month period than in the equivalent 2016 period mainly due to lower expenditures for charitable contributions ($1,000), meals and entertainment (approximately $1,000), and airfare (approximately $3,500).

■

Transfer and filing fees were higher in 2016 because of filing fees related to an amended 10-K and 10-Q, and an S-1, with no equivalent filing fees in the current year.

■

Interest, bank and finance charges were higher in the current nine-month period primarily due to the average of interest-bearing loan balances being higher than in the equivalent period in 2016, plus approximately $8,400 in interest charged in 2017 on accrued mineral option fees due to LSG, with no such charge in 2016.

■

The change in Penalties was due to a penalty (later abated by $15,000) that was assessed by the IRS during the first nine months of 2016, while there were no such items in 2017.

Balance Sheet at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016

Items with notable period-end differences are as follows:

			Change
	September 30, 2017	December 31, 2016	Amount	Percentage
Cash	$ 2,165	$ 5,134	$ (2,969 )	(58 %)
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$ 1,494	$ 19,016	$ (17,522 )	(92 %)
Due to related parties and accrued interest	$ 977,819	$ 762,117	$ 215,702	28 %
Loans payable and accrued interest	$ 51,105	$ 62,310	$ (11,205 )	(18 %)
Additional paid-in capital	$ 1,463,629	$ 1,070,064	$ 393,565	37 %

■

Cash decreased due to the cash used in operating activities being approximately $3,000 more than the cash provided by related party loans, net of loan payable repayments.

■

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased principally due to payments in the current period of December 31, 2016 payables for professional and other fees totaling approximately $14,000 and of an IRS penalty in connection with our 2013 income tax filing of approximately $5,000 (after an abatement of $15,000).

■

The change in Due to related parties was a result of increased related party loans and accrued interest in the current period of approximately $132,000, together with the accrual of fees and interest due under the terms of our mineral option agreement with LSG of approximately $83,000.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

■

Loans payable decreased due to repayments of $15,000 in loan principal, partially offset by the accrual of interest totaling approximately $4,000.

■

Additional paid-in capital increased approximately $394,000, which was the portion expensed in 2017 of the value assigned to the 9.5 million stock options issued on February 14, 2017, calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2017, our total assets were $232,345, and our total liabilities were $1,030,418. Our working capital at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and the changes between those dates are summarized as follows:

			Increase/(Decrease)
	September 30, 2017	December 31, 2016	Amount	Percentage
Current Assets	$ 2,165	$ 5,134	$ (2,969 )	(58 %)
Current Liabilities	1,030,418	843,443	186,975	22 %
Working Capital Deficiency	$ (1,028,253 )	$ (838,309 )	$ (189,944 )	23 %

The increase in our working capital deficiency from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 was primarily due to the increase in amounts due to related parties of approximately $216,000, plus the decrease in cash (approximately $3,000), offset by the decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities (approximately $18,000) and loans payable (approximately $11,000), all of which are explained above.

Cash Flows

	Nine Months Ended September 30		Increase/(Decrease)
	2017	2016	Amount	Percentage
Cash Flows Provided By (Used In):
Operating Activities	$ (42,969 )	(47,437 )	4,468	(9 %)
Financing Activities	40,000	45,000	(5,000 )	(11 %)
Net decrease in cash	$ (2,969 )	(2,437 )	(532 )	22 %

The $4,468 decrease in cash used in operating activities in the first nine months of 2017 compared to 2016 largely offset the decrease of $5,000 in net cash from loans in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the equivalent 2016 period.

●

In the 2017 period, repayment of loans payable was the same as in the 2016 period, however proceeds from related party loans was $5,000 less in the 2017 period, which created the difference between cash flows from financing in the 2017 and 2016 periods.

●

The difference in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the following expenses, on a cash basis, being lower in the 2017 nine month period than the same period in 2016: Consulting services (approximately $1,000), Office, foreign exchange and sundry (approximately $7,000), Professional fees (approximately $1,000), and Transfer and filing fees (approximately $3,000). However, on the same cash basis, Exploration and evaluation expense was higher by approximately $3,000 and Penalties expense was higher by approximately $5,000, resulting in the net decreased use of cash in operating activities of $4,468.

We have yet to generate any revenues from our business operation and our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet our needs is entirely dependent on the issuance of shares or loans, which have been our principal sources of working capital so far. For the foreseeable future, we will have to continue to rely on those sources for funding. We have no assurance that we can successfully engage in any further private sales of our securities or that we can obtain any additional loans.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, due to the size and nature of the existing business operation. Given the size of our current operation and existing personnel, the opportunity to implement disclosure control procedures is limited. Until the organization can increase sufficiently in size to warrant an increase in personnel required to effectively execute and monitor formal disclosure control procedures, those formal procedures will not be implemented. Given the current size of the organization, there are not significant levels of supervision, review, independent directors or a formal audit committee.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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