RISK FACTORS
Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock
Risks Associated with Our Company:
<R> 1. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion which means we may be out of business within twelve months. If this happens you will loose your investment.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. If we go out of business, you will lose your investment. </R>
2. We expect losses to continue, and the failure to generate revenues could cause us to go out of business.
We were incorporated in February 2000 and 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 net loss since inception <R> through March 31, 2001 is $1,149,538. </R> Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon
* our ability to locate a profitable mineral property
* our ability to generate revenues
* our ability to reduce exploration stage 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.
3. Because our management has no significant training or experience exploring or mining gold placer exploration, we will have to hire others with training and experience in exploring and mining gold placer exploration.
Because our management has no significant training or experience exploring or mining placer mine, we will have to hire persons with technical training and/or experience exploring or mining placer mine. If we are unable to find and hire persons with technical training we may have to suspend or cease our operations.
<R>4.We have considerable doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The company has been in the exploration stage since its inception and has no revenues. The company=s continued viability is dependent upon the company=s ability to meet its future financing requirements and the success of future operations. These factors raise considerable doubt about the company=s ability to continue as a going concern. See"Independent Auditor=s Report."</R>
5.We have no known mineral reserves and if we cannot find any we will have to cease operations.
We have no mineral reserves. If we do not find a mineral reserve containing gold or if we cannot develop the mineral reserve, either because we do not have money to do it or because it will not be economically feasible to do it, we will have to cease operations an you will loose your investment.
6.Weather interruptions in the state of Arizona may affect and delay our proposed exploration operations.
Our proposed exploration work can only be performed approximately ten months out of the year. This is because extreme heat in July and August may prolong or prevent exploration.
7.Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration. There are other larger exploration companies that could and probably would spend more time and money exploring our property.
8. We will have to suspend our exploration plans if we do not have access to all of the supplies and materials we need.
Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies, and equipment like 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.
9.We may not have enough money to complete our exploration or acquire other properties that are for sale or joint venture.
We may not have enough money to complete the exploration of our property or purchase or joint venture properties with ore reserves that may be brought to our attention. If it turns our that we have not raised enough money to complete our exploration program, we will try to raise additional funds from a second public offering, a private placement or loans. At the present time, we have not made any plans to raise additional money and there is no assurance that we would be able to raise additional money in the future. If we need additional money and can=t raise it, we will have to suspend or cease operations.
10.Our officers and directors have conflicts of interest in that they are officers and directors of other mining companies.
Our officers and directors have conflicts of interest in that they are officers and directors of other mining companies. In the future, if we decide to acquire a mining property which is also sought by one of the companies which Messrs. Runyon, Roemer or Steeves are officers or directors, a direct conflict of interest could result. If such an event occurs, each officer and director will abstain from involvement with every company each is involved, including us.
Risks Associated with This Offering:
11. After this offering, control of the company will remain with Messrs. Runyon, Roemer and Steeves which may inhibit a change of control.
Even if we sell all 10,000,000 shares of common stock in this offering, Messrs. Runyon, Roemer and Steeves will still own or control 6,750,000 shares and will continue to control us. As a result, after completion of this offering, regardless of the number of shares we sell, Messrs. Runyon, Roemer and Steeves will be able to elect all of our directors and control our operations and your ability to cause a change in the course of our operations is eliminated. Our articles of incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting. Cumulative voting is a process that allows a shareholder to multiply the number of shares he owns times the number of directors to be elected. That number is the total votes a person can cast for all of the directors. Those votes can be allocated in any manner to the directors being elected. Cumulative voting, in some cases, will allow a minority group to elect at least one director to the board.
12.Messrs. Runyon, Roemer and Steeves=s control can have a depressive effect on the market price of stock.
Because Messrs. Runyon, Roemer and Steeves will control us after the offering, regardless of the number of shares sold, the value attributable to the right to vote is gone. This could result in a reduction in the market value to the shares you own because of the ineffective voting power.
13.Messrs. Runyon, Roemer and Steeves will receive a substantial benefit from your investment.
Messrs. Runyon, Roemer and Steeves, our officers and directors, will receive a substantial benefit from your investment. They are supplying the property to be explored which is valued at <R> $4,500. Such value was determined by us. </R> You, on the other hand, will be providing all of the cash for our operations. As a result, if we cease operations for any reason, you will lose your investment while Messrs. Runyon, Roemer and Steeves will lose only approximately <R> $4,500. </R>
14.Because there is no public trading market for our common stock, you may not be able to resell your shares.
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock. Therefore there is no central place, like a stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell your shares. If you do want to resell your shares, you will have to locate a buyer and negotiate your own sale. Therefore, you may not be able to resell your shares.
15.There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold and we will not refund any funds to you.
There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold in this offering, even if we raise a nominal amount of money. Any money we receive will be immediately appropriated by us. We may not raise enough money to start or complete exploration. No money will be refunded to you under any circumstances.
16.Sales of common stock by our officers and directors will likely cause the market price for the common stock to drop.
A total of 7,775,000 shares of stock were issued to our officers and directors or entities controlled by them. They paid an average price of $0.024 per share. They will likely sell a portion of their stock if the market price goes above $5.00. If they do sell their stock into the market, the sales may cause the market price of the stock to drop.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Our offering is being made on a best efforts - no minimum basis. The net proceeds to us after deducting offering expenses of <R> $628,200 will be $49,371,800 </R> if all of the shares are sold. The first $133,200 raised will be used for offering expenses. We will use the net proceeds as follows:
25% | 50% | 75% | 100% | |
Amount raised | $12,500,000 | $25,000,000 | $37,500,000 | $50,000,000 |
Allocation Offering expenses |
$ 350,000 |
$ 450,000 |
$ 500,000 |
$ 628,200 |
Exploration expenditures consist of consulting services, costs of obtaining geologic literature, and costs of obtaining personal interviews with geologists, mining engineers and others familiar with the properties. Exploration expenditures also include the cost of mapping, geophysical testing, geochemical testing, and digging trenches, pits and tunnels.
<R> Equipment to be purchased consists of desks, chairs, filing cabinets, computers, GPS units, vehicles and survey instruments.</R>
Working capital is the cost related to operating our office. It is comprised of expenses for telephone service, mail, stationary, accounting, acquisition of office equipment and supplies, and the salary for secretary and office workers, if needed.
We have allocated a wide range of money for exploration. That is because we do not know how much will ultimately be needed for exploration. If we are successful in immediately finding gold, we will stop exploring and go on to develop the property. Costs of exploring will then cease. On the other hand if we do not immediately find gold, we will continue to explore for gold on the property. If we have to continue to explore for gold, the costs of exploration will increase.
While we currently intend to use the proceeds of this offering substantially in the manner set forth above, we reserve the right to reassess and reassign the use if, in the judgement of our board of directors, changes are necessary or advisable. At present, no material changes are contemplated. Should there be any material changes in the above projected use of proceeds in connection with this offering, we will issue an amended prospectus reflecting the same.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The price of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise up to a maximum of $50,000,000 in this offering. The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value. Among the factors considered were:
* our lack of operating history
* the proceeds to be raised by the offering
* the amount of capital to be contributed by purchasers in this offering in proportion to the amount of stock to be retained by our existing Stockholders, and
* our relative cash requirements.
<R> MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
There is no public trading market for our shares of common stock. There are no outstanding options or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into our common stock with the exception of 10,000,000 class A preferred shares which are convertible into shares of common stock. Each preferred share is convertible into one share of common stock automatically one year after the completion of this public offering.
Currently, 9,715,000 shares of common stock are outstanding. The 9,715,000 common shares and 10,000,000 class A preferred shares are restricted securities and will be eligible for sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933 beginning in March 2002..
We are offering up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock in this offering. Because there is no public market for our shares, this public offering will not have a material effect on the market price of our common stock.
We have no proposed symbol for listing on the OTC bulletin board and we do not have a market-maker for our common or preferred shares.
No cash dividends have been declared by us since our inception or any period after the date of our financial statements on June 30, 2001. </R>
DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders.
As of March 31, 2001, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was $(66,338) or approximately $(0.01) per share based upon 9,715,000 shares outstanding, since the Company had a net stockholders= deficit of $56,338.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event all of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 19,715,000 common shares to be outstanding will be $49,933,662, or approximately $2.53 per common share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $2.54 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $5.00 per share to $2.53 per share.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 75% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 17,215,000 common shares to be outstanding will be $37,433,662, approximately $2.17 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $2.18 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $5.00 per share to $2.17 per share.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 50% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 14,715,000 shares to be outstanding will be $24,933,662, or approximately $1.69 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $1.70 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $5.00 per share to $1.69 per share.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 25% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 12,215,000 shares to be outstanding will be $12,433,662, or approximately $1.02 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $1.03 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $5.00 per share to $1.02 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 10,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 50.72% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $50,000,000, or $5.00 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 49.28% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or other assets, totaling $1,086,266, or approximately $0.11 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 7,500,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 43.56% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $37,500,000 or $5.00 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 56.44% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or other assets, totaling $1,086,266, or approximately $0.11 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 5,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 33.98% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $25,000,000 or $5.00 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 66.02% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or other assets, totaling $1,086,266, or approximately $0.11 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 2,500,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 20.47% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $12,500,000, or $5.00 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 79.53% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or other assets, totaling $1,086,266, or approximately $0.11 per share.

Rule 3a4-1 sets forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate in the offering of the issuer's securities and not be deemed to be a broker-dealer. The conditions are that:
1. The persons are not subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Act, at the time of his participation; and,
2. The persons are not compensated in connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities; and
3. The persons are not at the time of their participation, an associated person of a broker-dealer; and,
4. The persons meet the conditions of Paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act, in that they (A) primarily perform, or are intended primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the Issuer otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and (B) are not a broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding twelve (12) months; and (C) do not participate in selling and offering of securities for any Issuer more than once every twelve (12) months other than in reliance on Paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii).

We will not utilize the Internet to advertise our offering. We will also distribute the prospectus to potential investors at the meetings and to our friends and relatives who are interested in us and a possible investment in the offering.
<R> Penny Stock Rules
Our common stock may be defined as a "penny stock" under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and its rules. Because we may be a penny stock, you may be unable to resell our shares. This is because the Exchange Act and the penny stock rules impose additional sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than accredited investors. As a result, fewer broker/dealers may not be willing to make a market in our stock.
Broker/Dealer
If we engage a broker/dealer to help in our selling effort we will file a post-effective amendment to disclose the details. </R>

BUSINESS
General
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 23, 2000. We are engaged in exploration of properties. We maintain our statutory registered agent's office at 5844 South Pecos Road, Suite D, Las Vegas, Nevada 89120 and our business office is located at 528 Fon du Lac Drive, East Peoria, Illinois 61611. Our telephone number is (309) 699-8725. Our offices are leased from <R> 528 Fon du Lac Drive LLC.</R> on a month to month basis and our monthly rental is $500.00.
Background
We own the exploration rights to 38 <R> groups of association placer claims, which make up our property. </R> Each property equals four <R> association placer claims </R> of 160 acres each. The properties are located in La Paz, Maricopa and Yuma Counties, Arizona. All claims are located of federal land managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The claims were acquired from 22 <R> exploration </R> companies that are owned or controlled by Dale Runyon, our chairman of the board of directors. The properties were exchanged for restricted shares of common stock, A warrants and B warrants. The transaction was not at arm=s length. The number of shares and warrants which were exchanged for the claims was arbitrarily determined by Mr. Runyon and ratified by <R> all of </R> our board of directors.
<R> Association placer claims are only claims to valuable minerals in unconsolidated materials near the surface of claims; and they do not include valuable lode minerals in the underlying rocks. Therefore we have no claim to veins or other lode mineral deposits under our claims. </R>
To date we have not performed any work on our property. We are presently in the exploration stage and there is no assurance that commercially viable mineralized material, or a reserve, exists on our property. We will not be able to make such a determination until exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility.
We have no known reserves on any of our property and our proposed program is exploratory in nature.
Acquisition of the Claims

Our Proposed Exploration Program
We conduct exploration to determine what precious metal minerals if any, exist in the alluvial sediments on our properties and if any mineralized material which is found, can be economically extracted and profitably processed.
The exploration program is designed to systematically and economically explore and evaluate our properties. We do not claim to have minerals or alluvial reserves at this time on any of our properties. Each property will be ranked by utilizing relevant information available and quantifying the potential for discovery by management with input from contracted consultants. Each site will be evaluated at some point with the initial prospect site evaluating the exploration methods to be used.
Testing will confirm the presence of alluvial environments. <R> Mapping of potential alluvial channels will be done with the most practical direct and indirect methods that include but are not limited to geologic mapping, aerial photography, infra red imagery, drilling, coring, trenching and backhoe pits for confirmation of channel systems and calibration of indirect geophysical methods such as electromagnetics (EM), magnetics, ground penetrating radar, etc. and geochemistry utilizing trace elements, heavy minerals, etc.
We intend to implement an evaluation and exploration program in the following four phases on several properties determined by the amount of money raised in the initial public offering and the result of phase I: </R>
Phase 1
This phase will begin with research of the available geologic literature, personal interviews with geologists, mining engineers and others familiar with the prospect sites and conclude with on site evaluations. We have recently initiated the gathering of available geologic data and reports that document the geology of the mountains adjacent to the sediments of the valley alluvial material.
Each property will be ranked by utilizing relevant information available and quantifying the potential for discovery by management with input from contracted consultants. The research task will identify the most favorable prospect to initiate the mapping, sampling, geophysics and geochemical studies. The Phase 1 program will include contracting with geological, engineering, and laboratory consultants and facilities. We estimate that the time frame for the initial research and field studies will be three months in the field and up to an additional one to three months to compile the data.
When the research is completed, our initial fieldwork will focus on the most favorable prospect area to include geologic confirmation and mapping of target areas on our claims. Existing workings, like trenches and prospect pits will be examined. If an apparent alluvial zone is identified and narrowed down to as specific area by the studies, we will begin pitting with a backhoe in a small area or trenching across the area to confirm a favorable geologic setting for an alluvial channel. A prospecting trench would be the next task and can be approximately 50-150 feet long and 10-20 feet wide. These dimensions allow for a thorough examination of the alluvial channels to characterize the lithology and the geologic setting. Once a trench is excavated and the geology is mapped, photographed and interpreted, sufficient samples are taken, examined and analyzed for the presence of potential economic minerals, which will also include trace element geochemistry, A preliminary geophysical survey utilizing sensitive electromagnetic (EM), magnetic and resistivity methods could be conducted to calibrate the various techniques to the known geology. Qualified professionals will conduct the interpretation of the available and acquired data from the various tests, which will aid in determining whether or not the prospect has economic potential and whether further exploration is warranted.
Phase 1 will take about 4-6 months and cost up to <R> $135,000: </R>
Phase 2
Phase 2 will be done <R> on one or more properties </R> if the results to Phase I confirm the presence of precious metals. Phase 2 will involve a thorough review of the results of Phase 1 trenching, pitting, drilling, etc. to confirm that geophysical and geochemical testing can be utilized to conduct non-intrusive exploration of larger areas of the properties. The geophysics will utilize methods that have shown success in identifying alluvial channels and mire mineral deposits. The methods ultimately utilized will be calibrated to the types of geology at the target site and surveys will be conducted to provide a three (3) dimensional interpretation of the buried alluvial sediments. Geochemistry will also be calibrated during Phase I and if appropriate, a large grid test program will be conducted in conjunction with the geophysical program. We have identified an Arizona based registered geophysicist to conduct the field programs on the properties.
Additional trenching and bulk sampling will be done in this phase to test processing methods and procedures for recovery of the free gold. All this work will be done with qualified engineers, consultants and at industry recognized facilities.
Phase 2 could take 6-9 months on the most favorable prospect and cost up to <R> $450,000 per property tested. </R>
Phase 3
This phase will be done if confirmation of precious metals is sufficiently quantified to justify the increased level of development studies. This is a pre-feasibility study, which will include an expanded program of defining the depth, width and length of the resource, evaluating processing and recovery procedures and presenting an estimate of permitting, mining and processing costs. The specific studies included in Phase 3 would be better defined after the completion of Phase 1 & 2, which will provide the in sight to the most successful methods to use in confirming the mineralized material.
Phase 3 will be conducted by an independent third party, who would conduct the appropriate studies for the preparation of the report. The independent third party will develop the pre-feasibility report for estimating the amount of financing required to develop the project.
Phase 3 could take up to 6 months and cost up to <R> $500,000 per property tested. </R>
<R>Phase 4
This phase will be done by contracting with an independent engineering firm to develop a feasibility study to determine if the property under study will justify offering the property at a major mining company for a potential lease or joint venture.
Phase 4 could take twelve to eighteen months and cost up to $2,000,000 for each feasibility study.
The estimated costs of the exploration program and feasibility study were developed from estimates received from geologists, engineers and service companies experienced in geophysics, laboratories, and testing of process methods and the conduct of feasibility studies. The combined Phase 1, 2, 3 and 4 could take from 28 to 33 months to complete at an estimated cost of $3,000,000. Some of the prospectus may not proceed past the Phase I research and initial testing.
The success of the evaluation and exploration program on the initial prospects will support the development of the program tasks for evaluating the balance of our prospects. </R>
Exploration and Environmental Matters
The prospecting on our claims is provided under the existing 1872 Mining Law and all permits for exploration and testing must be obtained through the local Bureau of Land Management (BLM) office of the Department of Interior. Obtaining permits for minimal disturbance as envisioned by this exploration program will require making the appropriate application and filing of the bond to cover the reclamation of the test areas. From time to time, an archeological clearance may need to be contracted to allow the testing program to proceed.
We will secure all necessary permits for exploration and, if development is warranted on the property, will file final plans of operation before we start any mining operations. 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 know what that will involve from an environmental standpoint.
We are in compliance with the all laws and will continue to comply with the laws in the future. We believe that compliance with the laws will not adversely affect our business operations.
John Yellich, a consulting geologist and a member of our board of directors will manage our proposed exploration program.
<R> Mr. Yellich is a Certified Professional Geologist (#7538) and has developed and conducted exploration programs in alluvial, sedimentary and hardrock environments as a Geologist, Exploration Manager and District Exploration Manager for Union Pacific=s mining subsidiary, Rocky Mountain Energy (1976-1984). He has also worked as an independente geologist to private clients on alluvial and hardrock precious metal and industrial mineral projects in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada and Arizona during the period of 1987 to present. He has worked as a Project manager and Vice President-Development for proposed mining projects were he coordinated all exploration and development activities during the period of 1983-1985.
The alluvial projects Mr. Yellich managed involved geology, geophysics, drilling, bulk sampling with excavators and dozers, and recovery testing using various gravity and chemical recovery methods for coarse to very fine gold and precious metals. Also included were bulk tests conducted offsite at laboratories in the western states. </R>
Employees
Initially, we intend to use the services of subcontractors for manual labor exploration work on our properties. Our only technical employees will be our officers and consultants that we may hire.
Employees and Employment Agreements
At present, we have no employees, other than our officers, who were compensated with restricted shares of common stock for their services. Our officers do not have employment agreements with us. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to any employees.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This section of the prospectus includes a number of forward- looking statements that reflect 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 prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
We are a start-up, exploration stage company and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations. <R> We have not conducted any exploration as of March 31, 2001. </R>
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than the sale of minerals found on our property. That cash must be raised from other sources. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others in our company. We must raise cash to implement our project and stay in business. We believe $1,400,000 will remove the uncertainties surrounding our ability to continue as a going concern.
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. There is no assurance that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to stay in business. What ever money we do raise, will be applied first to exploration and then to development, if development is warranted. If we do not raise all of the money we need from this offering, we will have to find alternative sources, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our
officers or others. We have discussed this matter with our officers, however, our officers are unwilling to make any commitment to loan us any money at this time. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this offering. If we need additional cash and can't raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely.
We will be conducting research in connection with the exploration of our property. We do intend to buy mining, milling and laboratory equipment <R> if warranted. </R>. We do not expect a change in our number of employees.
We must conduct exploration to determine what amount of minerals, if any, exist on our properties and if any minerals which are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed.
Our exploration program is designed to economically explore and evaluate our properties.
We do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on any of our properties.
We intend to implement an exploration program which will cost approximately $1,400,000 during the next twelve months and intend to proceed in the following three phases:
Phase 1
This phase will begin with research of the available geologic literature, personal interviews with geologists, mining engineers and others familiar with the prospect sites and conclude with on site evaluations. We have recently initiated the gathering of available geologic data and reports that document the geology of the mountains adjacent to the sediments of the valley alluvial material. Also of important will be any notations of precious metal occurrences in those highlands adjacent to these alluvial areas where precious metals are eroded and potentially deposited in channels developed on many of the properties.
Each property will be ranked by utilizing relevant information available and quantifying the potential for discovery by management with input from contracted consultants. The research task will identify the most favorable prospect to initiate the mapping, sampling, geophysics and geochemical studies. The Phase 1 program will include contracting with geological, engineering, and laboratory consultants and facilities. We estimate that the time frame for the initial research and field studies will be three months in the field and up to an additional one to three months to compile the data.
When the research is completed, our initial fieldwork will focus on the most favorable prospect area to include geologic confirmation and mapping of target areas on our claims. Existing workings, like trenches and prospect pits will be examined. If an apparent alluvial zone is identified and narrowed down to as specific area by the studies, we will begin pitting with a backhoe in a small area or trenching across the area to confirm a favorable geologic setting for an alluvial channel.

Phase 3 will be conducted by an independent third party, who would conduct the appropriate studies for the preparation of the report. The independent third party will develop the pre-feasibility report for estimating the amount of financing required to develop the project.
Phase 3 could take up to 6 months and cost up to $500,000.
Phase 4
This phase will be done by contracting with an independent engineering firm to develop a feasibility study to determine if the property under study will justify offering the property at a major mining company for a potential lease or joint venture.
Phase 4 could take twelve to eighteen months and cost up to $2,000,000 for each feasibility study.
The estimated costs of the exploration program and feasibility study were developed from estimates received from geologists, engineers and service companies experienced in geophysics, laboratories, and testing of process methods and the conduct of feasibility studies. The combined Phase 1, 2, 3 and 4 could take from 28 to 33 months to complete at an estimated cost of $3,000,000. Some of the prospectus may not proceed past the Phase I research and initial testing. </R>
The costs of the exploration program were developed from estimates received from geologists, engineers and service companies experienced in geophysics, laboratories, and testing of process methods. The combined <R> Phase 1, 2, 3 and 4 could take from 28 - 33 months to complete at an estimated cost of $3,000,000. </R> Some of the prospects may not proceed past the Phase 1 research and initial testing.
We intend to contact other companies about the properties if we find mineralized materials, in order to explore joint venture possibilities. Because we believe the property will have to be mined using an open pit operation, we believe that it will be in our best interest to try to locate and engage a joint venture partner that has funds available to support the cost of an open pit mine and who has the operational experience to direct the <R> exploration operation. </R> As of the date hereof, we have not identified or contacted any joint venture candidates and there is no assurance we will ever contact any other companies about joint venturing with us in the development of our properties.
No Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about our company. As such we cannot predict our future success. We are an exploration company and have not generated any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of Operations
From Inception on February 23, 2000.
We acquired 100% interest in 38 properties. Each property is made up of four placer claims. The claims are currently held in the name of the original eight <R> stakers </R> or in the name of the entity that held the claims. Steps are currently underway to transfer the claims to us. This is accomplished through the Bureau of Land Management of the United States of America.

He was Manager and Director of Environmental Consulting Services for Laidlaw Environmental Services in Boulder, Colorado, from 1994 to 1997. Laidlaw purchased that company from Union Pacific. Many of the projects he was involved with at this company were derived from inappropriate natural resource <R> exploration </R> functions, which included oil exploration and development, mining activities, and rail and trucking transportation issues. <R> Inappropriate natural resource functions were oil exploration and development where pits, ponds and lagoons were unlined and oil and other drilling fluids leaked and impacted surface soil and groundwater in the area of the exploration. Also, leaks from transmission pipelines from development sites to the storage tanks or the refiner. Both of these inappropriate functions resulted in the need for groundwater and soil investigation and the evaluation and use of the most cost effective remediation technology. The inappropriate mining related functions were tailings ponds and ore stock piles that were either not lined or built without sufficient liners or protection after shut down of the operations. Surface soil, water and groundwater were impacted and required investigation of the impact and determination of the most cost effective remediation technology. Rail and trucking related activities were spills of raw or refined products as catastrophic or incremental releases, which had been occurring over many years of operations. </R> From 1997 to 1999, Mr. Yellich was Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of International Precious Metals, Inc. a Canadian Corporation operating i n Phoenix, Arizona.

Conflicts of Interest
We believe that Messrs. Runyon, Roemer, Steeves and Yellich will be subject to conflicts of interest. The conflicts of interest arise from Messrs. Runyon, Roemer, Steeves, and Yellich=s relationships with other mining corporations. In the future, Messrs. Runyon, Roemer Steeves, and Yellich will continue to be involved in the mining business for other entities and such involvement could create conflicts of interest. At the present time, we do not foresee a direct conflict of interest because we do not intend to acquire any additional mining properties. The only conflicts that we foresee are Messrs. Runyon, Roemer, Steeves, and Yellich=s devotion of time to mining projects that do not involve us.
Specifically, Mr. Runyon is an officer and director of Maxam Gold Corporation and Phoenix International Mining, Inc. which are engaged in mineral exploration. Mr. Roemer is a manager of Hidden Valley Mining LLC #1 which is engaged in mineral exploration. Mr. Steeves is an officer and director of Maxam Gold Corporation, Phoenix International Mining, Inc., and Sandaz Corporation which are engaged in mineral exploration. Mr. Yellich is an independent geologist. Presently, none of the foregoing operate mines or receive royalties from properties operated by others.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Messrs. Runyon, Roemer and Steeves, our officers and directors, were compensated with 70,000, 50,000 and 40,000 restricted shares of common stock, respectively <R> as approved by the board of directors on September 13, 2000. The 160,000 shares of common stock are valued at $5.00 per share, our offering price or a total of $800,000. </R> The shares were issued for services rendered to us. There are no plans to compensate Messrs. Runyon, Roemer, Steeves, Holecek, Hubbard, Yellich, and Stoss in the near future, unless and until we begin to realize revenues and for our business operations. <R> After revenues are realized from our business operations, the board of directors will meet to determine what, if any, compensation will be paid to Messrs. Runyon, Roemer, Steeves, Holececk, Hubbard, Yellich and Stoss. </R>
Indemnification
Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. In certain cases, we may advance expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which may be permitted to directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Black Mountain Gold, Inc. (an exploration stage enterprise) as of March 31, 2001 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, and for the period from February 23, 2000 (inception) through March 31, 2001. All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of Black Mountain Gold, Inc.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2000 were audited by us and we expressed an unqualified opinion on it in our report dated February 16, 2001, except for Note 12, dated July 5, 2001. We have not performed any auditing procedures since that date.
As discussed in Note 2, the Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception and has no revenues. The Company=s continued viability is dependent upon the Company=s ability to meet its future financing requirements and the success of future operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the company=s ability to continue as a going concern. Management=s plans regarding those matters are described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1B ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Black Mountain Gold, Inc. (hereinafter "the Company") was incorporated on February 23, 2000 under the laws of the State of Nevada for the purpose of acquiring, exploring and developing mining properties. The Company=s fiscal year end is December 31.

NOTE 2B SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts for cash, marketable securities, receivables, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock outstanding, which is convertible to common stock at a rate of one preferred share to one share of common stock. Preferred shares, which may be converted to shares of common stock twelve months after the Company completes an initial public offering, are not considered common stock equivalents at March 31, 2001. A and B warrantsare considered dilutive and have been included as part of the diluted income per share calculation at March 31, 2001, however for the period ending March 31, 2000 and the period from February 23, 2000 (inception) to March 31, 2001, they are considered anti-dilutive.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements. Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Impaired Asset Policy
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a statement titled "Accounting for Impairment of Long-lived Assets." In complying with this standard, the Company will review its long-lived assets quarterly to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not be recoverable. The Company does not believe any adjustments are needed to the carrying value of its assets at March 31, 2001.
Derivative Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB No. 133", and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities", which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2001.

NOTE 2B SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Derivative Instruments (continued)
This standard establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
If certain conditions are met, a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk or (ii) the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transaction. For a derivative not designated as a hedging instrument, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change.
Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes.
At March 31, 2001, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.
Concentration of Risk
As of March 31, 2001, all trading investments owned by the Company were held in one security, which trades on the NASDAQ market as a small capitalization security (small cap). Small cap securities, by their nature, are highly volatile. The fair market value of the Company=s investments as of March 31, 2001 was $1,620. See Note 3.
Exploration Costs
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the Company will expense exploration costs as incurred.
Compensated Absences
Currently, the Company has no employees; therefore, no policy regarding compensated absences has been established. The Company will establish a policy to recognize the costs of compensated absences at the point in time that it has employees.
Provision for Taxes
Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to SFAS No. 109"Accounting for Income Taxes." Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the"more likely than not" standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.

NOTE 2B SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Provision for Taxes (continued)
At March 31, 2001, the Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $391,000 principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset has been established at March 31, 2001.
At March 31, 2001, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1,149,000, which expire in the years 2019 through 2020.
Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2001 included herein have been prepared for the company without audit. They reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the results of operations for these periods. All such adjustments are normal recurring adjustments. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
NOTE 3B INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
The Company=s securities investments, currently, are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term, and are therefore classified as trading securities. Trading securities are recorded at fair market value on the balance sheet in current assets, with the change in fair value during the period included in earnings.
On February 23, 2000, the Company=s stockholders were contractually obligated to contribute 37,888 common stock shares of Nexland, Inc. valued at $7.00 per share to the Company. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had received 37,450 shares of Nexland, Inc. stock.
On August 25, 2000, a shareholder exchanged 50,000 additional shares of Nexland Inc. stock for a note payable. See Note 10.
During the three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company sold 35,100 shares of Nexland Inc. stock for $33,864, recognizing a gain of $25,440. For the period ended December 31, 2000, the Company sold 48,300 shares of Nexland Inc. stock for $81,127, recognizing a loss of $126,819.

As of March 31, 2001, 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding. The preferred stock is convertible into 10,000,000 common stock shares twelve months after the Company completes an initial public offering.
NOTE 5B COMMON STOCK
Upon incorporation, the Company authorized 50,000,000 shares of common stock. Common stock shares of 9,500,000 were issued in exchange for a combination of Nexland securities and mining claims. The shares were issued pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Securities Act and, thus, are restricted as to public transfer for a minimum period of one year. Shares of common stock that were issued for other than cash were assigned values equivalent to the fair market value at the date of transfer. See Notes 3 and 8.
On August 25, 2000, 50,000 common stock shares were issued as a loan fee for shareholder loan. See Note 10.
On September 13, 2000, the Company=s board of directors passed a resolution to issue 165,000 common stock shares in exchange for services provided by the Company=s directors and officers. These shares were deemed to be valued at $5.00 per share based upon the filing of a Form SB-2 for raising $50,000,000 through the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of common stock at $5.00 per share.

The warrants are exercisable and will begin to expire December 31, 2002. As of March 31, 2001, no value had been assigned to the warrants since their exercise price significantly exceeds the value of the Company=s common stock established upon organization at approximately $0.002 per share.
NOTE 8B MINING CLAIMS
The Company issued common stock and A and B warrants in exchange for unpatented mining claims. These unpatented mining claims were valued at $4,500 based upon the par value of the Company=s common stock issued.

See Note 5.
NOTE 9B COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is in the business of explorationof mineral properties. At present, there are no feasibility studies establishing proven and probable reserves.

The Company is presently undertaking the required steps to register as a publicly traded company. In this regard, the Company has signed a contract with a securities attorney to assist in this matter. The total fees to be paid to the attorney amount to $25,000. Of this amount, $15,000 has been paid and is recorded as professional fees. The remaining $10,000 will be due when the Company=s registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

All of the foregoing securities were issued pursuant to Reg. 504 of the Securities Act of 1933. At the time of the foregoing securities were sold, we were not subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; we were not an investment company; and, we were not a development stage company that either had no specific plan or purpose or indicated that its business plan was to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person. Further, the sale of the foregoing securities did not exceed $1,000,000. All of the foregoing sales were made by Dale Runyon, our Chairman of the Board and accordingly we relied upon the exemption available pursuant to Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act to make such sales without registering as a broker/dealer with the SEC.
At the time of the sales, Mr. Runyon was:
1. Not subject to a statutory disqualification, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Act, at the time of his participation; and,
2. Was not compensated in connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities; and
3. Was not at the time of his participation, an associated person of a broker-dealer; and,
4. Meet the conditions of Paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act, in that he (A) primarily performs at the end of the private placement, substantial duties for or on our behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and (B) is not a broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding twelve (12) months; and (C) did not participate in selling and offering of securities for any other Issuer during the last twelve (12) months other than in reliance on Paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii).

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemni fication by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
a. To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
b. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;
c. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any change to such information in the registration statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing of this Form SB-2 Registration Statement and has duly caused this Form SB-2 Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in East Peoria, Illinois, on this 6th day of August, 2001.
