TOM WHEELWRIGHT | This is What Happens When You Have the Right Tax Preparer

I’m often asked what questions someone should ask their tax preparer to make sure they’ve got the right tax preparer.

I think the questions a tax preparer asks are far more important.

Here are 3 questions you definitely want your tax preparer to ask you.

#1: Can You Provide Additional Information to Support Your Numbers?

Your tax preparer should absolutely be questioning your numbers.

The term “GIGO” (Garbage-In-Garbage-Out) is (unfortunately) commonly used in the tax preparation industry. It refers to the following situation:

  • Numbers are provided to the tax preparer that are wrong, either knowingly or unknowingly
  • The tax preparer uses this information “as is” and does nothing to verify the numbers are correct
  • The end product – the tax return – is not accurate

It is not safe to assume that your tax preparer is verifying your numbers. This is why this question is so important.

Some numbers are provided via legal forms, such as W-2s, 1099s and 1098s. These forms provide a certain level of reliability that the amounts are accurate.

However, most business and investing activity is based on the accuracy of the recordkeeping so verifying the numbers is extremely important.

In order to verify your business numbers, your tax preparer needs additional information. This additional information is used to verify that the amounts reported in the recordkeeping match up and make sense.

This additional information may include settlement statements, bank statements, credit card statements, loan statements, purchase or sale documents, organizational documents, prior year tax returns and ownership documents.

While this process may not uncover all errors, it does provide a certain level of reliability and provides the tax preparer with a sense of how accurate the recordkeeping is.

If your tax preparer is not asking for this information, then odds are, your tax preparer is not verifying your numbers.

#2 Can You Provide Personal Books (Financials)?

Your tax preparer should be looking for deductions you may be missing.

An effective way to do that is to look at your books – both your business and personal books. While it is common practice for businesses to keep books, it isn’t common for individuals to keep personal books. Personal books report where your cash goes and that is key to identifying possible deductions.

If your tax preparer is not asking for your personal books or not recommending that you keep personal books, then odds are they are only using what you give them and there’s a good chance deductions are being missed on your tax return.

#3 What is Your Role in Your Business or Investing Activity?

While the first 2 questions gather the numbers to report, this question determines the best way to report them.

Taxpayers, particularly business owners and investors, usually have options when it comes to how income or deductions are reported. Understanding the taxpayer’s role in their business and investing is the key to determining where it can be reported most favorably.

Your role in your business or investing is a significant factor in determining the options available to you. When your tax preparer understands your role, then your options for reducing your taxes are much greater.

PROJECT GENERATOR | Riverside Develops Four New Target Zones at the Cecilia Gold Project, Sonora, Mexico

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Riverside Resources Inc. (“Riverside” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: RRI) (OTCQB: RVSDF) (R99.F), is pleased to receive new exploration results at its 100%-owned Cecilia Gold Project (the “Project”) in northeastern Sonora, Mexico. Recent rock sampling and mapping was conducted on the Cecilia 1 claim following-up on anomalous areas identified during the reconnaissance soil sampling survey which was conducted over the larger tenure acquired earlier this year. Initially, the exploration work focused on the Cerro Magallanes rhyolite dome complex where historical drilling, mining and other work delineated high-grade gold mineralization. The most recent work by Riverside has been at the Cecilia 1 claim which covers a large area (~50km2) of favorable geology that is bisected by several large regional structures that have been found to host gold mineralization.

Over the past several months Riverside has completed a reconnaissance soil sample survey over the northeastern portion of the claim and followed this up with a sampling and mapping survey that included a Terraspec assisted alteration survey, Innovex geochemical testing, and assaying of selected areas. The soil sampling survey documented several, large linear anomalies that have now been field checked with initial sampling and mapping work. The most recent work has focused on four (4) new areas in addition to the main Cerro Magallanes target area therefore expanding the overall value of the Cecilia Project.

Riverside’s President and CEO, John-Mark Staude, stated: “Riverside has continued working on the Cecilia Project following-up on its initial soil and channel sampling programs further refining the targets on the concession. The recent program has defined several epithermal targets that show significant strike length and need to be drilled. The Cecilia 1 concession expands Riverside’s exploration footprint over a much larger area (58 km2). The fieldwork to date demonstrates the robust nature of the Cecilia Project showing large mineralized structures over significant strike lengths.

Casa de Piedra target:

The Casa de Piedra target is east of Cerro Magallanes on the recently added Riverside concession, Cecilia 1. The target zone comprises a 2 km long shear fault vein with abundant epithermal mineralization and textures. Casa de Piedra has not seen any exploration making it a high-profile drill target. This target was first identified through soil geochemistry in June 2018 where anomalous Pb, Cu, Te and Hg were noted. In the field the Casa de Piedra target is defined by a 30 m wide N-NE trending structural corridor of altered Cretaceous clastic sedimentary bedrock. Within the main mineralized structure, widespread sericitic, silica and kaolinitic alteration is common including buddingtonite alteration; buddingtonite being a clay often found in proximity to precious metal veins. The structural zone is infilled with quartz veining, quartz veinlets and stockwork and in some areas banded quartz, vuggy quartz and grey calcite. Textures in outcrop are dominated by intact-banded veins and silicified zones and only minor vein breccias. Transport of the clasts appears to be rotated but with minor displacement; anastomosing breccia veins are common in outcrop. Later carbonates are noted, and some carbonate appears to be leached from the matrix surrounding the quartz, leaving a stringy, net texture with residue of the Mn-oxides and crustiform quartz. This mineralized structure is cross-cut by northwest-trending rhyolitic dikes that do not appear to influence mineralization. Rock sampling (24) in this area returned one sample that assayed 0.9 g/t Au and also included other elements typical of the upper parts of hydrothermal veins. This shear vein is not unique, a second large vein system, Los Llanos described below.

Los Llanos target:

The Los Llanos target is located east of the Casa de Piedra vein shear structure east of the Cerro Magallanes peak. The Los Llanos target was first defined by reconnaissance and soil geochemistry where anomalous Pb, Cu and Zn were noted. In the field the Los Llanos target is defined by a 20-30 m wide structural corridor of altered sandstone presently mapped as being 1 km in strike length and trending northeast. Gold mineralization is found in narrow anastomosing veins sometimes as stockwork but primarily as a silicified zone marked by reddish-brown iron oxides. This corridor also hosts rhyolite dikes which are sometimes parallel to the mineralized zone but also cut the zone. To the best of our understanding no exploration work has been done in this area thus making it a newly discovered vein zone. Some evidence of placer mining was noted in the area suggesting gold may have come from this vein; further exploration work is warranted on the Llanos target.

Cruz Target:

The Cruz target lies within a large structural corridor northeast of Cerro Magallanes within horst and graben structural terrain. This large northwest trending regional structure extends tens of kilometers and comes across the northeast portion of the Project, is visible on satellite images, and forms a major structural topographic feature in northeastern Sonora. At the outcrop level, mineralization is noted in veins and stockwork alteration zones of up to 100 meters wide. These zones comprise anastomosing quartz veins with breccia that generally strike N-NE (020) and dip vertical to steeply to the west. Within this 100 m wide zone stockwork show syntaxial and druzzy textures. Gold mineralization is associated with pervasive, widespread sericitic and silica alteration; sulphides are rare but noted in this area. Where these veins cut conglomerate bedrock wide areas of silicified material is noted, two out of seven samples taken from this area returned gold grades of 1.6 g/t and 2.3 g/t Au. These veins continue through the conglomerate into the adjacent granitic bedrock. Geochemistry in this area shows high Pb, Zn and Cu indicating mineralization in the northern portion of the concession may be lower down in a epithermal system.

Cruz II Target:

The Cruz II Target is located in the eastern portion of the Cecilia 1 concession. This target is also a structural corridor of silicification and veining currently mapped at about 2 km in strike length.  The structure/vein strikes N-NE (020-030) and cuts through several sedimentary geological units varying in width from several meters to 20 m. Mineralized areas include anastomosing, stockwork or parallel veins with breccias; breccia is sometimes rounded but often angular. Terraspec analysis of altered rock shows pervasive silica and sericite alteration with illite in some areas. In hand sample the alteration is dominated by silicification and Fe-oxides. Individual veinlets are up to 30 cm wide with 3 to 5 parallel veins within a larger 20 m corridor. Stockwork veining, where present, is typically orthogonal and made more obvious by the hematitzation of rare pyrite, sphalerite and galena. Two of eleven samples from Riversides first pass of this area returned gold values of 0.5 g/t Au. Rock geochemistry also shows elements typical of a low-sulphidation epithermal system.

Cerro Magallanes Targets:

The Cerro Magallanes targets encompasses the rhyolitic dome complex in the middle of the Project. Riverside has conducted channel sampling on four main areas. Channel sampling shows consistent gold from the top of Cerro Magallanes at the San Jose target northeast along the Agua Prieta-North Breccia target and then through the Central and East Target areas. Highlights from this previously reported work includes:

  • San Jose Target – 47m @ 1.12 g/t from underground workings
  • Agua Prieta – North Breccia – 10m @ 3.34 g/t from surface channel
  • Central Target – 14m @ 2.44 g/t from underground workings
  • East Target – 11.5m @ 1.57 g/t

These samples do not cover the entire target thicknesses and further excavations would be needed to extend continuity thus the widths are open and provide an indication of gold mineralization context. The new target areas on Cecilia 1 east and north of Cerro Magallanes provide the opportunity to discover bulk tonnage precious metal mineralization where vein systems of several kilometers in length have been defined.

The map below (see Figure 1) shows the named zones on the Cecilia Project that have been defined by Riversides recent fieldwork.

JUNIOR MINING | Minera Alamos Defines Significant Surface Exposure Surrounding New Divisadero Porphyry Discovery Hole — 95.7 Metres of 1.47 G/T Gold Equivalent — at the Santana Project, Sonora, Mexico

Toronto, Ontario and Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 15, 2018) –  Minera Alamos Inc. (TSXV: MAI) (the “Company” or “Minera Alamos”) is pleased to report that additional mapping and surface sampling of the new Divisadero porphyry discovery has successfully delineated a significant surface exposure of the target which remains open in all directions. To date, a combination of outcrop and limited outcrop/float samples have confirmed the expression of the known porphyry system for over 300 m before it disappears under soil cover (see figure 1).

This work was conducted following the recent success of Phase 1 drill hole S18-121 that intersected a broad zone of a porphyry hosting significant gold, silver and copper mineralization approximately 200 m north of the Nicho Norte breccia pipe. The hole was the first drilled into this new style of polymetallic mineralization that is associated with an andesite porphyry unit related to disseminated pyrite and intrusive breccias.

Divisadero Zone Highlights:

  • Hole S18-121 – 95.7 m of 0.85 g/t Au, 9.8 g/t Ag and 0.33% Cu – (1.47 g/t AuEQ) from 32 m
    Including 70.0 m of 1.1 g/t Au, 11.8 g/t Ag and 0.56% Cu – (1.88 g/t AuEQ) beginning at 55 m down hole (see press release 2018-10-25);
  • Sixty-six (66) rock samples assayed with over 50% exhibiting grades in excess of 0.10 g/t gold – assays ranging up to 2.2 g/t gold;
  • Mineralized surface exposure surrounding drill hole S18-121 in excess of 200m x 300m;
  • Mineralization appears to remain open to the north and south under thin soil cover;
  • Extent of the gold mineralized systems surrounding the Company’s flagship Nicho (Main/Norte) deposits now extends along NW-SE trend for at least 1.2-1.3 km (see figure 2).

“Following the initial drill hole discovery of the new Divisadero porphyry system, our exploration team began the process of mapping and sampling the available surface exposure around this exciting new target. With over half the surface rock samples returning greater than 0.1 g/t gold, we have confirmed the potential of the new system and have successfully followed the known extents of the Divisadero mineralization for a distance of at least 300 m before it recedes under overburden. With this new information we look forward to further defining the target in our upcoming Phase 2 drill program. As a result of this year’s exploration, there are now five known areas of “Nicho-style” intrusion related gold mineralization identified at the Santana project site including the newly identified Zata and Divisadero zones. We are confident that as we expand our geological efforts more discoveries will be made.” stated Darren Koningen, CEO of Minera Alamos.

As a result of extensive weathering of the porphyry system surface exposures; copper values though elevated are lower in the surface sampling than those exhibited throughout hole S18-121 which averaged over 0.3% copper over its entire 95m length.

Exploration Plans – Phase 2 Drilling

Evaluation of the new project discoveries is ongoing and will include additional drilling as part of the Company’s Phase 2 drill program that is planned to commence shortly and continue into Q1 of 2019. The work will further the understanding of the scale of the porphyry mineralization and its relationship to the mineralized breccia systems that form the predominantly gold-rich mineralization at Nicho Norte and Nicho Main to the southwest.

Mr. Darren Koningen, P. Eng., Minera Alamos’ CEO, is the Qualified Person responsible for the technical content of this press release under National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Koningen has supervised the preparation of, and has approved the scientific and technical disclosures in this news release.

All rock samples were collected by Minera Alamos personnel including the Company’s exploration geologists. Samples were bagged for analysis and sent for sample preparation at the ALS-Chemex facility in Hermosillo, Mexico. Blanks, duplicates, and standards were randomly inserted with the samples sent for analysis as part of the normal QA/QC procedures. All samples were prepared and analyzed for gold using fire assaying with AA/gravimetric finish in addition to a standard 35-element ICP suite.

JUNIOR MINING | Work Program Commences Ahead of Drill Program on Extensive High Grade Vein System at Boodalyerrie, Pilbara, Western Australia

VANCOUVER , Nov. 15, 2018 /CNW/ – Pacton Gold Inc. (TSXV: PAC, OTC: PACXF, FSE: 2NKN) (the “Company” or “Pacton“) is pleased to announce that it has scheduled a helicopter and ground supported rock chip sampling and detailed geological mapping program on its 62 km2 Boodalyerrie tenement (E 45/3586).  Boodalyerrie is located 85 km northeast of the town of Nullagine, and Novo Resources Corp’s (NVO.V) Beatons Creek project. (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Location of Pacton Pilbara holdings, showing Boodalyerrie tenement. (CNW Group/Pacton Gold Inc.)

Highlights of exploration undertaken at Boodalyerrie to date:

  • Multiple quartz vein reefs extend over a total cumulative strike length of at least 23 km within an area of 25 km2, and range in thickness between 1 to 10 m
  • Significant high-grade rock chip samples of up to 200g/t Au (Plenty River Corporation Ltd, 2000)
  • Channel sampling results of up to 3 m at 88.6g/t Au (Plenty River Corporation Ltd, 2000)
  • Multiple small scale historic high grade workings documented
  • Potential exists for high-grade vein hosted gold mineralizing system associated with the Yilgalong Granite quartz veins. Target style has never been drill tested

Although half of the Boodalyerrie tenement is covered by sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Fortescue Group, including surface exposures of the Mount Roe, Hardey and Kylena formations, the focus of the immediate exploration program will be to define the extents and controls of gold mineralization within steeply dipping quartz veins hosted in older Archean granitic basement rocks. This extensive swarm of gold-bearing, quartz veins have thicknesses ranging from 1 to 10 m and extend along strike lengths of up to 2.5 km throughout a 25 km2 area. Geological mapping indicates that the veins were emplaced into the Archean granitic basement rocks before the deposition of the overlying Fortescue Group. Accordingly, the mapped vein system is expected to extend under the thin cover of Fortescue formations. (Figures 2 & 3).

Exploration conducted in 2000, indicated the Boodalyerrie veins are prominent, protruding surface features that dip steeply in a north and north west criss-cross pattern and extend along strike for several kilometers.  The 1 m to 10 m thick veins are composed of white and/or grey quartz, and carry minor sulphides, principally pyrite and galena. Surface and grab samples have been reported by Plenty River Corporation Ltd, in 2000, as grading up to 200 g/t gold, and with a channel sample returning 88.6 g.t gold over 3 m .

Pacton has not independently verified the Boodalyerrie sampling results but considers them to be sufficiently reliable to justify more detailed exploration. Mr. Robert Jewson, BSc. , Mineral Exploration & Mining Geology, and Managing Director of Geonomics Australia will be supervising the implementation of the Boodalyerrie exploration program.

The November-December Boodalyerrie work program will consist of detailed geological mapping and rock chip sampling in order to define the controls and extents of mineralization. Unexplored parts of the vein swarm, together with areas of intense vein stockworks will be mapped and surface sampled. Additionally, a preliminary reconnaissance sampling program will be undertaken in the southwestern portion of the Boodalyerrie tenement, which is underlain by the Mount Roe and Hardey formations of the Fortescue Group.

JUNIOR MINING | Gowest Gold Provides Market Update

TORONTO, Nov. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gowest Gold Ltd. (“Gowest” or the “Company”) (GWA.V) is pleased to provide an update regarding the progress it is making with its development of the Company’s Bradshaw Gold Deposit (“Bradshaw”) in the Timmins Gold Camp.

As previously announced (see Gowest news release dated October 30, 2018), the Company has recently entered into a definitive Custom Milling Agreement (“the Agreement”) with QMX Gold Corporation (“QMX”) pursuant to which QMX will process material from Bradshaw at its Aurbel Mill located in Val d’Or, Quebec. In reaching this agreement, Gowest has achieved a critical milestone, one that had proven to be a major impediment in the Company’s efforts to raise the additional funds needed to continue Bradshaw’s development, let alone for conducting further work on the rest of its more than 100-square-kilometre North Timmins Gold Project.

With the Agreement in hand, Gowest is actively engaged in discussions with a number of parties to identify the best way to raise new funding. No details can be made available at this time; however, a number of options are being examined including private placement funding, some form of debt or royalty structure, as well as larger equity infusions. Further information on these opportunities will be provided as it becomes available.

The Company’s management also wishes to confirm that it is unaware of any material change in the Company’s operations that would account for the recent negative market activity.

Meanwhile, the Company would like to note the considerable progress that its team has achieved during the past two years.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

Gowest has completed over 2,098 metres of underground development, including commissioning a main ramp and portal of sufficient size for the future operating mine. This development was conducted at the 30, 45 and 60 metre levels. Silling has also been initiated as the first stopes are prepared for development. This underground work has revealed the gold structures, shown excellent continuity in the mineralization, and confirmed and enhanced the team’s geological model. Importantly, all of this has been completed with no injuries at the project to date, either at surface or underground.

At the same time, 28,567 tonnes of development material has been stockpiled on surface for sorting, milling, and sale as a concentrate.

Further, in preparation for future production, the water treatment plant has been made fully operational, and the discharge is environmentally compliant. The ore-sorter, which is now completely enclosed in a dome building facility, has been commissioned and proven to perform as expected. Initial tests have shown that it should be producing gold bearing material from the stockpiles grading 6 g/t to 10 g/t for trucking to the Aurbel facility for toll-milling. Previous milling and flotation test work showed 97% recoveries.

Additional work has demonstrated stable and competent ground conditions in the ore and waste areas, and a revised geological model has sharply expanded the potential of the mineralized area.

As previously announced (see news release dated February 14, 2018), the Company has completed an agreement to have the gold concentrate produced at the Aurbel mill sent for final processing and sale at Shandong Humon Smelting in China.

Overall, the past year has seen Gowest sharply enhance and de-risk its Bradshaw asset, including intersecting the highest gold values to date at 155 g/t gold in a new zone outside the resource (see news release dated November 29, 2017). The team has also identified 20 new gold zones in bulk sample area, as well as two new high-grade gold zones north and west of main deposit. A 30-hole, 3,871-metre underground infill drilling program has been completed that has significantly enhanced the Company’s understanding of the deposit. This included tightening drill spacing and increasing the technical team’s detailed knowledge of the mineralized structures. In addition to refining the deposit geometry to define stope limits and enhance grade control, this drilling clearly demonstrated the potential to add significant additional material to the resource.

Gowest President & CEO, Greg Romain said, “Despite the difficult market conditions, our team has much to be proud of. Meanwhile, we continue to work towards our plan of making Bradshaw a commercial mine. We are currently reviewing our financing options, and we are hopeful that we will be able to provide a further update in this regard before the end of the year. Meanwhile, on behalf of the Board and our management team, we appreciate the support we have received from our shareholders, and we look forward to providing them with the proof that their patience has not been in vain.”

JUNIOR MINING | Nevada Copper Provides Clarification to Technical Disclosure and Announces Intention to Prepare New Technical Report

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nevada Copper Corp. (NCU.TO) (Nevada Copper” or the “Company”) is issuing this news release to clarify its technical disclosure as a result of a recent review by the British Columbia Securities Commission.

On October 11, 2018, the Company filed a technical report for the Pumpkin Hollow project entitled “Pumpkin Hollow Development Options – NI 43-101 Technical report: Pre-feasibility study 5,000 tons/day Underground Project (Case A), Feasibility Study for a 70,000 tons/day Open Pit/Underground Project (Case B), and Preliminary Economic Assessment of an Open Pit Project with Initial Capacity of 37,000 tons/day and Expansion to 70,000 tons/day” (the “October 2018 Technical Report”). That report included the results of a preliminary economic assessment (the “PEA”) of the stand-alone development of the open pit at the Project, in addition to the existing Case A and Case B studies. In preparing and presenting the October 2018 Technical Report, the Company sought to provide full disclosure of the various development alternatives being considered for the Pumpkin Hollow project (the “Project”). However, the presentation of multiple development scenarios using different levels of technical and economic studies within the technical report do not comply with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). As a result, investors should not rely on the October 2018 Technical Report.

Nevada Copper remains confident with respect to the quality of the underlying technical work.  Nevada Copper also confirms that it continues its ongoing work on the preparation of a new technical report (the “New Technical Report”) for the Project for release in Q1 2019. The New Technical Report will supersede all prior technical reports for the Project and is expected to incorporate the results of the Company’s previously announced 2018 drilling program and evaluate, in addition to the underground project currently under construction, a standalone, staged, open pit mine development at a preliminary feasibility study level.

Qualified Persons

The technical disclosure in this news release was approved by Gregory French, P.G., Vice-President Exploration & Project Development of Nevada Copper, Robert McKnight, P.Eng., Executive Vice-President of Nevada Copper, both of whom are non-independent Qualified Persons within the meaning of NI 43-101.
