ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Associated With Our Business

We are an exploration stage company, lack a business history and have losses that we expect to continue into the future. If the losses continue we will have to suspend operations or cease functioning.

We are in the very early exploration stage and cannot guarantee that our exploration work will be successful or that any minerals will be found or that any production of minerals will be realized. The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We have no business history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. As of August 31, 2013 our net loss since inception was $2,032,117. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:

Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mineral properties, we may never discover a commercially exploitable quantity of minerals, our business may fail and investors may lose their entire investment.

We can provide investors with no assurance that exploration on our properties will establish that commercially exploitable reserves of minerals exist on our property. Additional potential problems that may prevent us from discovering any reserves of minerals on our property include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. If we are unable to establish the presence of commercially exploitable reserves of minerals on our property our ability to fund future exploration activities will be impeded, we will not be able to operate profitably and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in mineral exploration ventures, we face a high risk of business failure.

Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration 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 the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the mineral claim may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claims. If this happens, our business will likely fail.

Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.

The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. At the present time we have no coverage to insure against these hazards. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

We have no known mineral reserves and we may not find any commercial quantities of graphite, gold or silver if we find graphite, gold or silver it may not be in economic quantities. If we fail to find any graphite, gold or silver or if we are unable to find graphite, gold or silver in economic quantities, we will have to suspend operations.

We have no known mineral reserves. Even if we find gold or silver, it may not be of sufficient quantity so as to warrant recovery. Additionally, even if we find gold or silver in sufficient quantity to warrant recovery it ultimately may not be recoverable. Finally, even if any gold or silver is recoverable, we do not know that this can be done at a profit. Failure to locate gold or silver in economically recoverable quantities will cause us to suspend operations.

The potential profitability of mineral ventures depends in part upon factors beyond the control of our company and even if we discover and exploit mineral deposits, we may never become commercially viable and we may be forced to cease operations.

The commercial feasibility of mineral properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control, including the existence and size of mineral deposits in the properties we explore, the proximity and capacity of processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental regulation. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and any one or a combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital. These factors may have material and negative effects on our financial performance and our ability to continue operations.

We may be adversely affected by fluctuations in ore and precious metal prices.

The value and price of our shares of common stock, our financial results, and our exploration, development and mining activities, if any, may be significantly adversely affected by declines in the price of precious metals and ore. Mineral prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, and the political and economic conditions of mineral producing countries throughout the world.

The prices used in making resource estimates for mineral projects are disclosed, and generally use significantly lower metal prices than daily metals prices quoted in the news media. The percentage change in the price of a metal cannot be directly related to the estimated resource quantities, which are affected by a number of additional factors. For example, a 10% change in price may have little impact on the estimated resource quantities, or it may result in a significant change in the amount of resources.

Transportation difficulties and weather interruptions may affect and delay our proposed mining operations and impact our proposed business.

Our mineral properties are accessible by road. The climate in the area is hot and dry in the summer but cold and subject to snow in the winter, which could at times hamper accessibility depending on the winter season precipitation levels. As a result, our exploration plans could be delayed for several months each year.

Supplies needed for exploration may not always be available.

Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies needed for our proposed exploration work could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies of certain products, equipment or materials. There is no guarantee we will be able to obtain certain products, equipment and/or materials as and when needed, without interruption, or on favorable terms. Such delays could affect our proposed business plans.

Management will devote only a limited amount of time to Lucky Boy’s business. Failure of our management to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business plans may adversely affect the success of our business.

Mr. Kenneth B. Liebscher will be devoting approximately 20 hours per week to Lucky Boy’s business. Failure of our management to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business plans may adversely affect the success of our business.

Management lacks formal training in mineral exploration.

Our officers and directors have no professional accreditation or formal training in the business of exploration. With no direct training or experience in these areas our management may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within this industry. Decisions so made without this knowledge may not take into account standard engineering management approaches that experienced exploration corporations commonly make. Consequently, our business, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm as a result of management’s lack of experience in the industry. Thus, we will retain such technical experts as are required to provide professional and technical guidance.

We require substantial funds merely to determine if mineral reserves exist on our mineral properties.

Any potential development and production of our exploration properties depends upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified engineers and geologists. Such programs require substantial additional funds. Any decision to further expand our plans on these exploration properties will involve the consideration and evaluation of several significant factors including, but not limited to:

Risks Associated With Our Common Stock

We do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of our company.

We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock’s price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

Because we can issue additional shares of common stock, purchasers of our common stock may incur immediate dilution and may experience further dilution.

We are authorized to issue up to 499,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 68,669,881 shares are issued and outstanding as of August 31, 2013 and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 675,000 shares are issued and outstanding as of August 31, 2013. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into 100 shares of common stock (1:100) and each share of preferred stock is entitled to 100 votes and thus the conversion of our preferred stock would result in significant dilution to holders of our common stock. Our board of directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of common stock, and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, without consent of any of our stockholders. Consequently, the stockholders may experience more dilution in their ownership of our stock in the future.

A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital, it may adversely impact our ability to continue operations and we may go out of business.

A prolonged decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise capital. Because we may attempt to acquire a significant portion of the funds we need in order to conduct our planned operations through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could be detrimental to our liquidity and our operations because the decline may cause investors to not choose to invest in our stock. If we are unable to raise the funds we require for all our planned operations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may suffer, and not be successful and we may go out of business. We also might not be able to meet our financial obligations if we cannot raise enough funds through the sale of our common stock and we may be forced to go out of business.

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

Risks Related To Our Financial Results and Need For Additional Financing

Our auditors’ reports contain a statement that our net loss and limited working capital raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accountants have stated in their report, included in this annual report that our significant operating losses and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We had net losses of $106,476 and $128,808, respectively, for the fiscal three months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012. We will be required to raise substantial capital to fund our capital expenditures, working capital and other cash requirements since our current cash assets are exhausted. We are currently searching for sources of additional funding, including potential joint venture partners, while we continue the initial exploration phase on our mining claims. The successful outcome of future financing activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operational results.

We will need additional capital to achieve our current business strategy and our inability to obtain additional financing will inhibit our ability to expand or even maintain our research, exploration and development efforts.

In addition to our current accumulated deficit, we expect to incur additional losses in the foreseeable future. Until we are able to determine if there are mineral deposits available for extraction on our properties, we are unlikely to be profitable. Consequently, we will require substantial additional capital to continue our exploration and development activities. There is no assurance that we will not incur additional and unplanned expenses during our continuing exploration and development activities. When additional funding is required, we intend to raise funds either through private placements or public offerings of our equity securities. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing through private placements and/or public offerings necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements and/or public offerings are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital through other sources, such as bank loans and/or financings. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms.

If we are unable to secure adequate sources of funds, we may be forced to delay or postpone the exploration, development and research of our properties, and as a result, we might be required to diminish or suspend our business plans. These delays in development would have an adverse effect on our ability to generate revenues and could require us to possibly cease operations. In addition, such inability to obtain financing on reasonable terms could have a negative effect on our business, operating results or financial condition to such extent that we are forced to restructure, file for bankruptcy protection, sell assets or cease operations, any of which could put your investment dollars at significant risk.

We are incurring increased costs as a result of being a publicly-traded company.

As a public company, we incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we would not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission, has required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. These new rules and regulations have increased our legal and financial compliance costs and have made some activities more time-consuming and costly. For example, as a result of becoming a public company, we have adopted policies regarding internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, we have incurred additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. These new rules and regulations have made it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, which we currently cannot afford to do. As a result of the new rules, it may become more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur as a result of being a public company or the timing of such costs and/or whether we will be able to raise the funds necessary to meet the cash requirements for these costs.

Because we may never earn revenues from our operations, our business may fail and then investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

We have no history of revenues from operations. We have never had significant operations and have no significant assets. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our company has a limited operating history and is in the exploration stage. The success of our company is significantly dependent on the uncertain events of the discovery and exploitation of mineral reserves on our properties or selling the rights to exploit those mineral reserves. If our business plan is not successful and we are not able to operate profitably, then our stock may become worthless and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

Prior to completion of the exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any 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 exploration of our mineral claims in the future, 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 can provide no assurance that we will generate any revenues or ever achieve profitability. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will fail and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
