Corporate History
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 14, 2005. Our
administrative office is located at # 305-8391 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles,
California 90048 and our registered statutory office is located at Suite 300 -
7251 West Lake Mead Blvd, Las Vegas, Nevada 89128. Our telephone number is (323)
275-8475. Our fiscal year end is August 31st. On March 15, 2007, we approved a
ten (10) for one (1) forward stock split of our authorized, issued and
outstanding shares of common stock. We amended our Articles of Incorporation by
the filing of a Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State wherein
it stated that we would issue ten shares for every one share of common stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the forward
stock split. The change in the Articles of Incorporation was effected with the
Nevada Secretary of State on April 6, 2007. As a result, the authorized capital
increased from 30,000,000 to 300,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value
of $0.001.
Our Current Business
We are an exploration stage resource company, and are primarily engaged in the exploration for and development in the properties in which we have acquired interests. We do not currently have any properties. We are actively pursuing an acquisition of a resource property. We will be engaged in the acquisition, and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover that demonstrate economic feasibility.
Product Research and Development
Our business plan is focused on the long-term exploration and development of our mineral properties.
We do not anticipate that we will expend any significant funds on research and development over the next twelve months ending November 30, 2009.
Employees
Currently there are no full time or part-time employees of our company (other than our directors and officer who, at present, have not signed employment or consulting agreements with us). We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period (although we may enter into employment or consulting agreements with our officer or directors). We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed. However, if we are successful in our initial and any subsequent drilling programs we may retain additional employees.
Purchase or Sale of Equipment
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment over the next twelve
months ending November 30, 2009.
The mining industry is fragmented. We compete with other exploration companies looking for uranium and gold. We are one of the smallest exploration companies in existence. We are an infinitely small participant in the gold mining market. While we compete with other exploration companies, there is no competition for the exploration or removal of minerals from our property.
We may not have access to all of the supplies and materials we need to begin exploration that could cause us to delay or suspend operations. Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies, such as explosives, and certain equipment such as bulldozers and excavators that we might need to conduct exploration. We have not attempted to locate or negotiate with any suppliers of products, equipment or materials. We will attempt to locate products, equipment and materials after this offering is complete. If we cannot find the products and equipment we need, we will have to suspend our exploration plans until we do find the products and equipment we need.
Government Regulations and Supervision
Our mineral exploration program will be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which we operate. We are currently sourcing projects in the North West Territories and other Canadian jurisdictions such as Ontario. We anticipate that the jurisdiction in which we operate in the future will have regulations similar to the Mineral Tenure Act (British Columbia) and Regulation. This act sets forth rules for
· Locating claims
· Posting claims
· Working claims
· Reporting work performed
The Mineral Tenure Act (British Columbia) and Regulation also governs the work requirements for a claim including the minimum annual work requirements necessary to maintain a claim. The holder of a mineral claim must perform exploration and development work on the claim of $100 in each of the first three years and $200 in the eighth and subsequent years.
We are also subject to the British Columbia Mineral Exploration Code (the
"Code") that tells us how and where we can explore for minerals. We must comply
with these laws to operate our business. The purpose of the Code is to assist
persons who wish to explore for minerals in British Columbia to understand the
process whereby exploration activities are permitted and regulated. The Code
establishes province wide standards for mineral exploration and development
activities. The Code also manages and administers exploration and development
activities to ensure maximum extraction with a minimum of environmental
disturbance. The Code does not apply to certain exploration work we will be
conducting. Specifically, work that does not involve mechanical disturbance of
the surface including:
· Geological and geochemical surveying
· Airborne geophysical surveying
· Hand-trenching without the use of explosives
· The establishment of gridlines that do not require the felling of trees
Exploration activities that we intend on carrying out which are subject to the provisions of the Code are as follows:
· Drilling, trenching and excavating using machinery
· Disturbance of the ground by mechanical means
Compliance with these rules and regulations will require us to meet the minimum annual work requirements. Also, prior to proceeding with any exploration work subject to the Code we must apply for a notice of work permit. In this notice we will be required to set out the location, nature, extent and duration of the proposed exploration activities. The notice is submitted to the regional office of the Mines Branch, Energy Division.
We currently do not have any pending applications for government approval of our
exploration program. We only require one permit for exploration and we have not
yet applied for it since it is not required until later stages of exploration
(i.e. drilling). We estimate that this exploration permit can be obtained within
2 weeks.
The Code deals with environmental matters relating to the exploration and development of mining properties. The goal of this Act is to protect the environment through a series of regulations affecting:
1. Health and Safety
2. Archaeological Sites
3. Exploration Access
We are responsible to provide a safe working environment, to not disrupt archaeological sites, and to conduct our activities to prevent unnecessary damage to the property.
We anticipate no discharge of water into active stream, creek, river, lake or any other body of water regulated by environmental law or regulation. No endangered species will be disturbed. Restoration of the disturbed land will be completed according to law. All holes, pits and shafts will be sealed upon abandonment of the property. It is difficult to estimate the cost of compliance with the environmental law since the full nature and extent of our proposed activities cannot be determined until we start our operations and we know what that will involve from an environmental standpoint.
We are in compliance with the Mineral Tenure Act (British Columbia) and the Code will continue to comply with these regulations in the future. We believe that compliance with these regulations will not adversely affect our business operations in the future.
There is no requirement to reclaim the mineral claims after we have completed our exploration program. However, a claim must be maintained by performing an annual work requirement or by payment of cash in lieu of work. The minimum amount of exploration and development work on the claim must be $100 per claim in each of the first three years and $200 in the eighth and subsequent years. Provided we meet the minimum annual work requirements or pay cash in lieu of work we will maintain the claims in good standing.
Three Months Ended November 30, 2008
During the three months ended November 30, 2008, operating expenses totaled
$5,510, and we experienced a net loss of $5,510 against no revenues. During the
three months ended November 30, 2007, operating expenses totaled $26,590, and we
experienced a net loss of $26,590 against no revenues from inception to November
30, 2008, our operating expenses total $634,731 and we experienced a net loss of
$634,731 against no revenues.
At November 30, 2008, there was a working capital of $16,569.
At November 30, 2008, our total assets were $26,173, which consisted of cash of $21,173 and prepaid expense of $5,000.
At November 30, 2008, our total current liabilities were $4,604.
At November 30, 2008, we had cash on hand of $21,173.
Historically, we have financed our cash flow and operations from the sale of stock and advances from shareholders. Our total cash and cash equivalent position as at November 30, 2008 was $21,173.
For the three months ended November 30, 2008, net cash used in operating activities was $5,510, which consisted of a net loss of $5,510.
Net cash provided by financing activity was $474,300 from inception to November 30, 2008.
We have no external sources of liquidity in the form of credit lines from banks. Based on the plan of operation described below, management believes that our available cash will be sufficient to fund our immediate working capital requirements.
Plan of Operation
Cash Requirements
Over the twelve months ending November 30, 2009 we plan to expend a total of approximately $150,000 in respect of future mineral property acquisitions.
Based on our current plan of operations, we require immediate funds to commence our exploration operations. We currently have cash on hand of $21,173. We anticipate that we will have to raise additional cash of approximately $130,000 to allow us to complete our proposed exploration program. We will likely require additional financing before we generate any significant revenues. We intend to raise the capital required to meet any additional needs through sales of our securities in secondary offerings or private placements. We have no agreements in place to do this at this time. If we fail to raise sufficient funds, we may modify our operations plan accordingly. Even if we do raise funds for operations, there is no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable.
We have enough funds to commence and complete our proposed exploration program.
There are no assurances that we will be able to obtain additional funds required
for our continued operations. In such event that we do not raise sufficient
additional funds by secondary offering or private placement, we will consider
alternative financing options, if any, or be forced to scale down or perhaps
even cease our operations.
Estimated Funding Required During the Next Twelve Months
General and Administrative $ 10,000
Operations: future property acquisitions $ 130,000
Working Capital $ 10,000
Total $ 150,000

Going Concern
The continuation of our business is dependent upon us raising additional financial support. The issuance of additional equity securities by us could result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current stockholders. Obtaining commercial loans, assuming those loans would be available, will increase our liabilities and future cash commitments.
We have historically incurred losses, and through November 30, 2008 have incurred losses of $634,731 from our inception.
However, there are no assurances that we will be able to either (1) ever achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; or (2) obtain additional financing through future private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from our recently completed offering, operations and any future private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on terms acceptable to us. If adequate working capital is not available we may not increase our operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.
Our independent auditor's report on our audited financial statements, in our
Form 10-K annual report filed December 15, 2008 for the fiscal year ended August
31, 2008, expressed substantial doubt concerning the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The qualifying explanatory paragraph contained in
their audit report should be read in connection with our management's discussion
of our financial condition, liquidity and capital resources.
The preparation of our company's financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent liabilities.
RISK FACTORS
Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". Such forward-looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions, or other future performance suggested herein. We undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.
Such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution readers of this quarterly report that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward-looking statements". In evaluating us, our business and any investment in our business, readers should carefully consider the following factors.
We need to continue as a going concern if our business is to succeed, if we do not we will go out of business.
Our independent accountant's report to our audited financial statements for the year ended August 31, 2008, indicates that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such factors identified in the report are our accumulated deficit since inception, our failure to attain profitable operations and our dependence upon obtaining adequate financing to pay our liabilities. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely investors will lose their investments.
If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail.
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete all intended
exploration our properties, and therefore we will need to obtain additional
financing in order to complete our business plan. As of November 30, 2008, we
had cash in the amount of $21,173. We currently do not have any operations and
we have no income.
We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues once exploration is complete. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market prices for resources, investor acceptance of our property and general market conditions. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.
The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders. The only other anticipated alternative for the financing of further exploration would be our sale of a partial interest in the property to a third party in exchange for cash or exploration expenditures, which is not presently contemplated.
Because we have not commenced business operations, we face a high risk of business failure.
Although we have recently commenced operations and are preparing to commence
exploration, we have commenced limited exploration on the property.
Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will
be successful. We were incorporated on April 14, 2005 and have been involved
primarily in organizational activities and the acquisition of our mineral
property. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus.
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.
Prior to completion of our 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 development of the mineral claims and the production of minerals from the claims, 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 investors with no assurance that we
will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If
we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely
fail.
We have not started our proposed business operations or realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon the following:
· Our ability to locate a profitable mineral property;
· Our ability to generate revenues; and
· Our ability to reduce exploration costs.
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the research and exploration of our mineral properties. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to go out of business.
We have no known ore reserves and we cannot guarantee we will find any reserves or if we find reserves, that production will be profitable. Even if we are successful in discovering uranium or other mineralized material we May not be able to realize a profit from its sale. If we cannot make a profit, we may have to cease operations.
We have no known ore reserves. We have not identified any resource on the mineral claims and we cannot guarantee that we will ever find any. The report we reviewed in selecting the mineral claims for exploration are old and may be out of date. Even if we find that there is uranium or another resource on our mineral claims, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to recover the resource.
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. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration and consequently may not find mineralized material. If we do not find mineralized material, we will cease operations.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our
exploration. Because we may have to limit our exploration, we may not find
mineralized material, although our mineral claims may contain mineralized
material. If we do not find mineralized material, we will cease operations.
There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral property exploration and development. The regulatory regime under which we operate in the future will likely require work permits, the posting of bonds, and the performance of remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land. While these current laws do not affect our current exploration plans, if we proceed to commence drilling operations on the mineral claims, we will incur modest regulatory compliance costs.
In addition, the legal and regulatory environment that pertains to the exploration of ore is uncertain and may change. Uncertainty and new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from exploring for ore deposits. The growth of demand for ore may also be significantly slowed. This could delay growth in potential demand for and limit our ability to generate revenues. In addition to new laws and regulations being adopted, existing laws May be applied to mining that have not as yet been applied. These new laws may increase our cost of doing business with the result that our financial condition and operating results may be harmed.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration and consequently may not find mineralized material. If we do not find mineralized material, we will cease operations.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration. Because we may have to limit our exploration, we may not find mineralized material, although our property may contain mineralized material. If we do not find mineralized material, we will cease operations.
As we face intense competition in the mining industry, we will have to compete with our competitors for financing and for qualified managerial and technical . . .
