Our offering is being made on a best efforts - no minimum basis. The table below sets forth the use of proceeds if 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the offering is sold.
Proceeds will be first used to pay the offering expenses, then for exploration, then for working capital, and finally the loans. If there is not enough money to pay the offering expenses, the unpaid portion will be accrued as a liability.
If less than $35,000 is raised in this offering, the money will be paid in the following order: (1) legal services; (2) accounting fees; (3) engineering fees; (4) fees due the transfer agent; and, (5) printing expenses.
Loans will be repaid following the receipt of the maximum amount of the offering or the receipt of proceeds from the sale of mineralized material, which ever occurs first. The loans are interest free and accordingly do not accrue interest. If we don't raise enough money to repay the loan, it will not accrue interest.
Exploration expenditures consist of consulting services, costs of obtaining geologic literature, 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. We are not going to spend any sums of money or implement our exploration program until this offering is completed. We have not begun exploration. We cannot allocate specific amounts to the specific items. That is because we do not know what we will find, if anything.
We have allocated up to $20,000 for research, geologic mapping, geophysical testing geochemical testing of the property and the initiation of trenching. $40,000 has been allocated for the initial examination of the underground characteristics of the vein structure, further trenching and drift driving. Drift driving is the process of constructing a tunnel to take samples of minerals for testing. Finally, we have allocated $80,000 for precisely defining the depth, the width, the length, the tonnage and the value per ton of any mineral body through extensive drift driving. Money received from the offering for exploration will be applied in the order of the foregoing items.
We cannot be more specific about the application of proceeds for exploration, because we do not know what we will find. If we attempted to be too specific, every time an event occurred that would change our allocation, we would have to amend this registration statement. We believe that the process of amending the registration statement would take an inordinate amount of time and not be in your best interest in that we would have to spend money for legal fees which could spent on exploration.
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, expenses of filing reports with the SEC, and the salary of one secretary, 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.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The price of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise up to a total of $200,000 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.
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 December 31, 2001, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was a deficit of $21,433 or approximately $(0.0043) per share based upon 5,000,000 shares outstanding.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event all of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the December 31 shares to be outstanding will be $143,567 or approximately $0.0160. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.0202 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.05 per share to $0.0160 per share.
- 10 -
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 75% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 8,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $93,567 or approximately $0.0117 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.0160 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.05 per share to $0.0117 per share.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 50% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 7,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $43,567, or approximately $0.0062 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.0105 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.05 per share to $0.0062 per share.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 25% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 6,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $(6,433), or approximately $(0.0011) per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.0032 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.05 per share to $(0.0011) per share.
After completion of this offering, if 4,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 44.444% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $200,000, or $0.05 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 55.556% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $50, or approximately $0.00001 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 3,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 37.5% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $150,000, or $0.05 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 62.5% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $50, or approximately $0.00001 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 2,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 28.57% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $100,000, or $0.05 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 71.429% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $50, or approximately $0.00001 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 1,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 16.667% of the total number of shares then outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of $50,000, or $0.05 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 83.333% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $50, or approximately $0.00001 per share.
The following table compares the differences of your investment in our shares with the investment of our existing stockholders.

- 13 -
We intend to sell our shares in the states of New York, Illinois, Georgia, Wyoming, Colorado, New York, New Jersey, Washington D.C., and/or outside the United States of America.
Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act
Our shares are covered by Section 15g of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 promulgated thereunder. They impose additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). While Section 15g and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 apply to broker-dealers, they do not apply to us.
Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules.
Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker-dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.
Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker-dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker-dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker-dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker-dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.
Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.
Rule 15g-6 requires broker-dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.
Again, the foregoing rules apply to broker-dealers. They do not apply to us in any manner whatsoever. The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares.

BUSINESS
General
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 20, 2000. We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining 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 412 Memorial Drive NE, Calgary, Alberta, Canada T2E 4Y7. Our telephone number is (403) 265-8788. Our offices are donated rent free by our president. There is no monthly rental.
Dundee Mining has no plans to change its business activities or to combine with another business, and is not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause its plans to change.
Background
In July 2000, Rodney L. Lozinski, our sole officer and director, entered into an oral agreement with Locke Goldsmith, an unrelated third party, to stake one property containing two unpatented mining claims in the Nickel Plate Mountain area of Hedley, Osoyoos Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada, in exchange for $878.00. The transaction with Mr. Goldsmith was arms length. Mr. Goldsmith was hired because we believed he was knowledgeable about mining claims in British Columbia and we are not. The claims were conveyed by Mr. Goldsmith to Mr. Lozinski and are recorded in Mr. Lozinski's name to avoid paying additional fees. The property is held in trust pursuant to a written declaration executed by Mr. Lozinski. Under British Columbia law, title to mining claims must be held by a British Columbia corporation or held by an individual who is a Canadian citizen. In order to comply with the law we would have to incorporate a British Columbia wholly owned subsidiary corporation and obtain audited financial statements. We believe those costs would be a waste of our money at this time. In the event that we find mineralized material and the mineralized material can be economically extracted, we will form a wholly owned British Columbia subsidiary corporation and Mr. Lozinski will convey title to the properties to the wholly owned subsidiary corporation. Should Mr. Lozinski transfer title to another person and that deed is recorded before we record our documents, that other person will have superior title and we will have none. If that event occurs, we will have to cease or suspend operations. However, Mr. Lozinski will be liable to us for monetary damages for breaching the terms of his agreement with us.
All Canadian lands and minerals which have not been granted to private persons are owned by either the federal or provincial governments in the name of Her Majesty. Ungranted minerals are commonly known as Crown minerals. Ownership rights to Crown minerals are vested by the Canadian Constitution in the province where the minerals are located. In the case of the Company's property, that is the province of British Columbia. In the 19th century the practice of reserving the minerals from fee simple Crown grants was established. Legislation now ensures that minerals are reserved from Crown land dispositions. The result is that the Crown is the largest mineral owner in Canada, both as the fee simple owner of Crown lands and through mineral reservations in Crown grants. Most privately held mineral titles are acquired directly from the Crown. The Company's property is one such acquisition. Accordingly, fee simple title to the Company's property resides with the Crown. The Company's claims ar e mining leases issued pursuant to the British Columbia Mineral Act . The lessee has exclusive rights to mine and recover all of the minerals contained within the surface boundaries of the lease continued vertically downward.
- 16 -
The property is unencumbered and there are no competitive conditions which affect the property. Further, there is no insurance covering the property and we believe that no insurance is necessary since the property is unimproved and contains no buildings or improvements.
To date we have not performed any work on the property. We are presently in the exploration stage and we cannot guarantee that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists in the property until further exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility.
Location and Access
The property is located on the upper eastern slopes of Nickel Plate Mountain near the headwaters of Cahill Creek on the Thompson Plateau. The property is situated approximately three miles northeast of Highway 3 and approximately 3.2 miles east of the village of Hedley.
Two accessible roads lead to the north end of the property. The Nickel Plate Mine road departs northeasterly from Highway 3 at a point approximately two miles southeast of Hedley. The Apex Mountain road departs westerly from Highway 97 at Penticton. The two road join at the headwaters of Cahill Creek where a dirt road branches southwesterly and passes through the entire property. Various spur roads within the property provide additional access.
History of Previous Work
The area around the property has been explored extensively since the 1890s and gold have been discovered nearby. The property has no history of previous exploration. There is no evidence of mining on the property and there is no plant or equipment located on the property. There is no power source on the property.
Physiography
The property lies between 1,700 and 1,900 feet above sea level. Vegetation is moderate at all levels. There is ample water and timber within the property to support exploration. The property is free of snow from April through December, allowing eight to nine months of exploration each year. The property is within easy commuting distance from Penticton which is the nearest center with facilities.
Property Geology
The main rock types occurring in the area are volcanic and sedimentary rocks. Gold is found in volcanic and sedimentary rocks. We have not determined if there is any gold on the property.

Our Proposed Exploration Program
Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. Mineralized material is a mineralized body which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal. If we do not find mineralized material or we cannot remove mineralized material, either because we do not have the money to do it or because it is not economically feasible to do it, we will cease operations and you will lose your investment.
In addition, we may not have enough money to complete our exploration of our property. If it turns out 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 cannot raise it, we will have to suspend or cease operations.
We must conduct exploration to determine what amount of minerals, if any, exist on our property and if any minerals which are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed.
Our property is undeveloped raw land. Exploration and surveying has not been initiated and will not be initiated until we raise money in this offering. That is because we do not have money to start exploration. Once the offering is concluded, we intend to start exploration operations. To our knowledge, the property has never been mined. The only event that has occurred is the staking of the property by Mr. Goldsmith and a physical examination of the property. The cost of staking the claims was included in the $826.00 we paid to Mr. Goldsmith. Before gold retrieval can begin, we must explore for and find mineralized material. After that has occurred we have to determine if it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material. Economically feasible means that the costs associated with the removal of the mineralized material will not exceed the price at which we can sell the mineralized material. We cannot predict what that will be until we find mineralized material.
We do not know if we will find mineralized material. We believe that activities occurring on adjoining properties are not material to our activities. The reason is that what ever is located under adjoining property may or may not be located under our property.
Our exploration program is designed to economically explore and evaluate our property.
We do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on any of our property.
We intend to implement an exploration program and intend to proceed in the following three phases:
Phase 1 will begin with research of the available geologic literature, personal interviews with geologists, mining engineers and others familiar with the prospect sites.
- 18 -
When the research is completed, our initial work will be augmented with geologic mapping, geophysical testing and geochemical testing of our claims. When available, existing workings like trenches, prospect pits, shafts or tunnels will be examined. If an apparent mineralized zone is identified and narrowed down to a specific area by the studies, we will to begin trenching the area.
Trenches are generally approximately 150 ft. in length and 10-20 ft. wide. These dimensions allow for a thorough examination of the surface of the vein structure types generally encountered in the area. They also allow easier restoration of the land to its pre-exploration condition when we conclude our operations. Once excavation of a trench is completed, samples are taken and then analyzed for economically potential minerals that are known to have occurred in the area. Careful interpretation of this available data collected from the various tests aid in determining whether or not the prospect has current economic potential and whether further exploration is warranted.
Phase 1 will take about 3 months and cost up to $20,000.
Phase 2 involves an initial examination of the underground characteristics of the vein structure that was identified by Phase 1 of exploration. Phase 2 is aimed at identifying any mineral deposits of potential economic importance. The methods employed are
* more extensive trenching
* more advanced geophysical work
* drift driving
Drift driving is the process of constructing a tunnel to take samples of minerals for testing. Later, the tunnel can be used for mining minerals . The geophysical work gives a general understanding of the location and extent of mineralization at depths that are unreachable by surface excavations and provides a target for more extensive trenching and core drilling. Trenching identifies the continuity and extent of mineralization, if any, below the surface. After a thorough analysis of the data collected in Phase 2, we will decide if the property warrants a Phase 3 study.
Phase 2 will take about 3 months and cost up to $40,000
Phase 3 is aimed at precisely defining the depth, the width, the length, the tonnage and the value per ton of any mineral body. This is accomplished through extensive drift driving. Phase 3 will take about 6 months and cost up to $80,000.
The breakdown of estimated times and dollars for each phase was made by the board of directors.
We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the reserves ourselves.
If we are unable to complete any phase of exploration because we do not have enough money, we will cease operations until we raise more money. If we cannot or do not raise more money, we will cease operations. If we cease operations, we don't know what we will do and we don't have any plans to do anything else.
- 19 -
We cannot provide you with a more detailed discussion of how our exploration program will work and what we expect will be our likelihood of success. That is because we have a piece of raw land and we intend to look for gold. We may or may not find any mineralized material. We hope we do, but it is impossible to predict the likelihood of such an event.
We will not move on to a subsequent phase until the phase we are working on is completed.
We do not have any plan to take the Company from phase 3 exploration to revenue generation. That is because we have not found anything yet and it is impossible to project revenue generation from nothing.
We anticipate starting exploration operations within thirty days of the completion of this offering.
Competitive Factors
The gold mining industry is fragmented. We compete with other exploration companies looking for gold. We are one of the smaller 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 or mineral from our property. Readily available gold markets exist in Canada and around the world for the sale of gold. Therefore, we will be able to sell any gold that we are able to recover.
Regulations
Our mineral exploration program is subject to the Canadian Mineral Tenure Act Regulation. This act sets forth rules for
* locating claims
* posting claims
* working claims
* reporting work performed
We are also subject to the British Columbia Mineral Exploration Code which tells us how and where we can explore for minerals. We must comply with these laws to operate our business. Compliance with these rules and regulations will not adversely affect our operations.
Environmental Law
We are also subject to the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for Mines in British Columbia. This code deals with environmental matters relating to the exploration and development of mining properties. Its goals are to protect the environment through a series of regulations affecting:
1. Health and Safety
2. Archaeological Sites
3. Exploration Access
- 20 -
We are responsible to provide a safe working environment, not disrupt archaeological sites, and conduct our activities to prevent unnecessary damage to the property.
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 act and will continue to comply with the act in the future. We believe that compliance with the act will not adversely affect our business operations in the future.
Exploration stage companies have no need to discuss environmental matters, except as they relate to exploration activities. The only "cost and effect" of compliance with environmental regulations in British Columbia is returning the surface to its previous condition upon abandonment of the property. We cannot speculate on those costs in light of our ongoing plans for exploration.
Employees
Initially, we intend to use the services of subcontractors for manual labor exploration work on our properties. Our only technical employee will be Rodney L. Lozinski, our sole officer and director.
Employees and Employment Agreements
At present, we have no employees, other than Mr. Lozinski, our sole officer and director, who was compensated for his service. Mr. Lozinski is a part-time employee and will devote about 10% of his time to our operation. Mr. Lozinski does not have an employment agreement 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 Mr. Lozinski. Mr. Lozinski will handle our administrative duties. Because Mr. Lozinski is inexperienced with exploration, he will hire qualified persons to perform the surveying, exploration, and excavating of our property. As of today, we have not looked for or talked to any geologists or engineers who will perform work for us in the future. We do not intend to do so until we complete this offering.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
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.
- 21 -
We are a start-up, exploration stage corporation and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
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 the property. That cash must be raised from other sources. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by others in Dundee Mining. We must raise cash to implement our project and stay in business. Even if we raise the maximum amount of money in this offering, we do not know how long the money will last, however, we do believe it will last twelve months. It depends upon the amount of exploration we conduct and the cost thereof. We will not know that information until we begin exploring our property. We will not begin exploration of our property until we raise money from this offering.
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. We cannot guarantee 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 to exploration. If we find mineralized material and it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material, we will attempt to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans. If we do not raise all of the money we need from this offering to complete our exploration of the property, 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 sole officer, however, our sole officer is 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 additiona l cash and cannot raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. If we raise the maximum amount of money from this offering, it will last a year. If we raise less than the maximum amount, we do not believe the money will last a year. If we raise less than the maximum amount and we need more money we will have to revert to obtaining additional money as described in this paragraph. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.
We will be conducting research in the form of exploration of our property. Our exploration program is explained in as much detail as possible in the business section of this prospectus. We are not going to buy or sell any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months. We will not buy any equipment until we have located a body of ore and we have determined it is economical to extract the ore from the land.
We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the reserves ourselves.
- 22 -
If we are unable to complete any phase of exploration because we do not have enough money, we will cease operations until we raise more money. If we cannot or do not raise more money, we will cease operations. If we cease operations, we do not know what we will do and we do not have any plans to do anything else.
We do not intend to hire additional employees at this time. All of the work on the property will be conduct by unaffiliated independent contractors that we will hire. The independent contractors will be responsible for surveying, geology, engineering, exploration, and excavation. The geologists will evaluate the information derived from the exploration and excavation and the engineers will advise us on the economic feasibility of removing the mineralized material.
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about Dundee Mining upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation 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.
To become profitable and competitive, we conduct into the research and exploration of our properties before we start production of any minerals we may find. We are seeking equity financing to provide for the capital required to implement our research and exploration phases.
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 September 20, 2000
We just recently acquired our first property. We have staked the property and will begin Phase I of our exploration plan upon completion of this offering. We expect to start Phase I within 30 days of completing our public offering.
Since inception, we have used our common stock to raise money for the property acquisition, for corporate expenses and to repay outstanding indebtedness. Net cash provided by the sale of shares from inception on September 20, 2000 to December 31, 2001 was $50. In addition a related party advanced a total of $15,979 to us which must be repaid.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this registration statement, we have yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.
We issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock through a Section 4(2) offering in September 2000 to Rodney L. Lozinski, our sole officer and director. This was accounted for as a cash shares purchase of $50.
- 23 -
Since our inception, Mr. Lozinski, has advanced the total sum of $15,979, which was used by us to pay organizational and start-up costs and operating capital. The loans do not bear interest and have not been paid as of the date hereof. There are no documents reflecting the loan and they are not due on a specific date. Mr. Lozinski will accept repayment from us when money is available.
As of December 31, 2001, our total assets were $ 337 and our total liabilities were $ 21,770.
MANAGEMENT
Officers and Directors
Our sole officer and director is Rodney L. Lozinski. In the future, we may have more than one officer and director. Pursuant to our bylaws, each director is elected by the stockholders to a term of one year and serves until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Each officer is elected by the board of directors to a term of one year and serves until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, or until he or she is removed from office. The board of directors has no nominating, auditing or compensation committees.
The names, addresses, ages and positions of our sole officer and director is set forth below:
Name and Address | Age | Positions |
Rodney L. Lozinski 333B-2nd Avenue, NE Suite 402 Calgary, Alberta Canada T2E 4G7 |
47 |
president, secretary, treasurer, principal accounting officer and sole member of the board of directors |
Mr. Lozinski has held his position as our sole officer and director since our inception and is expected to hold his office/position until the next annual meeting of our stockholders.
Background of Officers and Directors
Rodney L. Lozinski has been our president, secretary, treasurer, principal accounting officer and sole member of our board of directors since inception. For the last sixteen years, Mr. Lozinski, with his wife, has owned and operated businesses specializing in custom designing trees, plants and floral for homes and businesses. Florals by Doctor Plant (established 1979) is located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Creative Plant Interiors (established 1992) is a division of Florals by Doctor Plant and operates out of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Mr. Lozinski was involved in the creation and maintenance of two worldwide websites that involves the manufacturing and shipping globally of plants and home decorating products (www.silkplantscanada.com). Mr. Lozinski will devote 10% of his time to our operation.
Mr. Lozinski is not involved in any shell or blank-check companies. The term blank check company means any development stage company that is issuing a penny stock and that has (1) no specific plan or purpose or (2) has indicated that its business plan is to merge with an unidentified company or companies.
- 24 -
Conflicts of Interest
We believe that Rodney L. Lozinski will be subject to conflicts of interest. The conflicts of interest arise from Mr. Lozinski's devotion of duties to other businesses unrelated to exploration or mining.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Mr. Lozinski, our sole officer and director, was compensated in shares of common stock in the amount of $50 for his services and there is no plan to compensate him in the near future, unless and until we begin to realize revenues and become profitable in our business operations.
Indemnification
Under our 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. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he 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, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus, the total number of shares owned beneficially by each of our directors, officers and key employees, individually and as a group, and the present owners of 5% or more of our total outstanding shares.

Future Sales by Existing Stockholders
A total of 5,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to our sole stockholder, all of which are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition.
Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resalable, and sales of all of our other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.
A total of 5,000,000 shares of stock were issued to Mr. Lozinski our sole officer and director. He paid an average price of $0.00001. He will likely sell a portion of his stock if the market price goes above $0.05. If he does sell his stock into the market, the sales may cause the market price of the stock to drop.
Because Mr. Lozinski will control us after the offering, regardless of the number of shares sold, your ability to cause a change in the course of our operations is eliminated. As such, the value attributable to the right to vote is gone. This could result in a reduction in value to the shares you own because of the ineffective voting power.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. The holders of our common stock:
* have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors;
* are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs;
* do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and
* are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote.
All shares of common stock now outstanding are fully paid for and non-assessable and all shares of common stock which are the subject of this offering, when issued, will be fully paid for and non-assessable. We refer you to our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and the applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities.
- 26 -
Non-cumulative Voting
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. After this offering is completed, the present stockholder will own approximately 55.56% of our outstanding shares.
Cash Dividends
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
There are no Nevada anti-takeover provisions that may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Director
Dundee Mining Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Dundee Mining Inc. (an exploration stage company) as at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and the related statements of operations, stockholder's deficiency and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2001, the period from inception on September 20, 2000 to December 31, 2000 and cumulative from inception on September 20, 2000 to December 31, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with United States generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Dundee Mining Inc. at December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2001, the period from inception on September 20, 2000 to December 31, 2000 and cumulative from inception on September 20, 2000 to December 31, 2001 in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage with respect to its mineral property. The Company has not determined whether the exploration property contains ore reserves that are economically recoverable. At December 31, 2001 the Company has nominal cash resources and requires new financing to maintain operations and initiate exploration work on its mineral property. These factors together raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regards to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
As discussed in Note 7 to the financial statements, an error resulting in the overstatement of previously reported general and administrative expenses and the recording of additional paid in capital was recognized by management of the Company in the year ended December 31, 2001. Accordingly, the accounts at December 31, 2000 and for the period from September 20, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2000 have been restated to correct the error.

DUNDEE MINING INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION, DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 20, 2000. Since inception, the Company has acquired 10 mineral claims in the Osoyoos Mining Division, Province of British Columbia, Canada. To date, the Company has not conducted any exploration on the claims. Management intends to raise funds for a preliminary exploration program to assess the mineral potential of the claims, to finance the cost of general and administrative expenses, and projected further losses from operations in the exploratory stage.
The ability of the Company to maintain its existence and commence exploration of its mineral claims is dependent upon its raising sufficient new equity financing. The commencement of principal operations is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable ore reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete development, and future profitable production or proceeds from the sale of all or an interest in the mineral claims. The likely outcome of these future events is indeterminable. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
The financial statements present the Company as an exploration stage company as defined in SEC Guide 7. As it has neither commenced principal operations nor generated any revenue, the accompanying financial statements also provide disclosures specified in SFAS No. 7 "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises".
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Mineral property costs
All exploration and maintenance costs incurred on the mineral property are to be expensed as incurred until it has been determined that the mineral property can be economically developed. Development costs thereafter will be capitalized. All capitalized costs are to be amortized over the estimated productive life of the property if it is placed into commercial production. If a property is sold or allowed to lapse, the related costs are charged to operations in the period.
The carrying value of the mineral property is subject to periodic review for impairment whenever events and changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. Any losses are to be charged to operations at the time impairment is determined.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

DUNDEE MINING INC.
(An exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
Financial instruments and financial risk
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and advances from related party. The fair value of the current assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Loss per share
Basic loss per common share has been calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events other than enactment of changes in the tax laws or rates are considered.
Due to the uncertainty regarding the Company's future profitability, the future tax benefits of its losses have been fully reserved for and no net tax benefit has been recorded in the financial statements.
NOTE 3 - MINERAL PROPERTY
The Company owns 10 mineral claims known as Cahill 3 to 12 inclusive situated in the Osoyoos Mining Division, Province of British Columbia, Canada.
The claims were acquired by staking. There has been no exploration work conducted on the property by the Company.
NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK
The Company has issued 5,000,000 shares for cash consideration of $50 to Rodney L. Lozinski.
There have been no other shares issued to date.
There are no shares subject to warrants, agreements or options at December 31, 2001 (December 31, 2000: nil).
The Company intends to offer for sale in the immediate future a further 4,000,000 shares at an offering price of $0.05 per share.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company is wholly owned by Rodney L. Lozinski, who received 5,000,000 shares for cash of $50.
Mr. Lozinski is owed $15,979 at December 31, 2001 for advances made to the Company (December 31, 2000: $15,979)
NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES
No provision for income taxes has been made for the periods presented as the Company has incurred net losses.
The potential benefit of the net operating losses carried forward have not been recognized in the financial statements since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years. The components of the net deferred tax asset, the statutory tax rate, the effective tax rate, and the elected amount of the valuation allowance are as follows:

NOTE 7 - CORRECTION OF AN ERROR
The financial statements at December 31, 2000 have been restated to correct an error in the valuation of shares received by Rodney L. Lozinski. Initially, the 5,000,000 shares issued on organization of the Company were recorded at an ascribed value of $0.05 per share ($250,000), with $249,950 recorded as compensation expense and additional paid in capital. The previously issued financial statements have been restated to record the 5,000,000 shares at their par value only ($50), thereby recognizing no additional paid in capital and nil compensation expense. The effect of the restatement was to decrease loss for the period from September 30, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2000 by $249,950 ($0.05 per share).

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 indemnification 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.
