OVERVIEW
We are a pre-exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. We have acquired a mining lease on a total of 8 unpatented lode mineral claims located, in western Nevada approximately 150 miles south of Reno, Nevada. Our plan of operations is to carry out exploration work on the claims in order to ascertain whether they possess commercially viable deposits of gold. Further exploration of the mineral claims is required before a final determination as to their viability can be made. No commercially viable mineral deposit may exist on our mineral claims. We can provide no assurance that our mineral claims contain a mineral deposit until appropriate exploratory work is done and an evaluation based on that work concludes further work programs are justified. At this time, we have no reserves on our mineral claims.
Acquisition of Panorama Project
Pursuant to a mining lease agreement (the "Lease Agreement") dated effective April 9, 2001, between Bream and Desert Pacific Exploration, Inc. ("Desert Pacific"), as amended April 9, 2002, September 25, 2002, June 9, 2003, September 2, 2003, September 30, 2003 and February 24, 2004, we acquired from Desert Pacific a renewable 20 year lease of eight unpatented lode mineral claims located in the Mt. Diablo Base and Meridian in Mineral County, Nevada, referred to as the "Panorama Project". An unpatented claim is one in which more assessment work is necessary before all mineral rights can be claimed.
Pursuant to the terms of the Lease Agreement, as amended, we acquired the exclusive right to explore, develop and mine the Panorama Project for gold, silver and other valuable minerals, in consideration of which we are required to pay the following to Desert Pacific: (i) a fee of $5,000 on April 9, 2001; (ii) a fee of $1,500 on March 9, 2002; (iii) a fee of $2,000 on October 9, 2002; (iv) a fee of $1,500 on January 9, 2003; (v) a fee of $1,500 on June 9, 2003; (vi) a fee of $1,000 on September 30, 2003; (vii) a fee of $5,000 February 24, 2004, (viii) a fee of $5,000 on the public listing and trading of Bream's common stock; (ix) a fee of $20,000 on February 28, 2005, (x) a fee of $50,000 on February 27, 2006 and every February 28 thereafter; and (xi) a royalty of 3% on net smelter returns (as defined in the agreement) subject to buyout at a price of $3,000,000 at our option. We further agreed to pay all applicable federal, state, and county claim maintenance or rental fees required to be paid for the Panorama Project. To date we have expended $17,500 on lease payments to Desert Pacific under the Lease Agreement.

Description of Property
The Panorama Project is located in western Nevada, Mineral County, approximately 150 miles south of Reno and 48 miles north of Bishop, California. Access to the property from Bishop, California, is via highway US 6, north for a distance of 48.2 miles to the CCC Ranch Road.
The leased property is comprised of approximately 160 acres. Applicable fees assessed by the State of Nevada and Mineral County have been paid through August 31, 2004. The surrounding land is owned by the United States Forest Service and is open for staking. Edward P. Jucevic, P.E., our consulting geologist, recommends that we may need to stake at least 35 additional claims to cover the strike and provide an adequate buffer on either side of the mineralized zone.
At present, there are no plans to locate these additional 35 claims. We will not locate additional claims unless it should become necessary in order to protect the claims we have already leased. Should the additional 35 claims be staked at some future date, the estimated cost of the work plus filing fees would be approximately $8,400, broken down as follows: staking fees $90 per claim, federal filing fees $135 per claim, state filing fees $14 per claim plus a map fee of $15. The risk in not pursuing additional claims is that a third party may stake this peripheral ground. If at some future time it was decided to expand the size of the currently leased claim, an agreement would have to be negotiated with that third party in which we might be required to pay a rental or royalty fee for minerals recovered on these additional claims.
Current State of Exploration
Our business activities to date have been restricted to obtaining a lease on the Panorama Project and a report on the Panorama Project from our consulting geologist, Edward P. Jucevic. We received a report from Mr. Jucevic entitled, "Technical Report – Panorama Project, Mineral County, Nevada" on April 9, 2001. Mr. Jucevic's report details the geological and mining history of the claims leased by Bream, including the land status, climate, geology and mineralization. In his report Mr. Jucevic noted that past exploration efforts have indicated potential mineable grades and thickness near surface, but have failed to delineate a significant ore body to date. The report concludes that based upon previous mining activity in the area, sufficient evidence exists to warrant further exploration on the leased property which could then lead to actual mining operations. Mr. Jucevic recommended a two phase exploration program be undertaken to test high-grade portions of vein zones identified in previous explorations.
The recommended exploration program is as follows:
Phase | Work Program | Cost | Estimated Time of Completion |
Phase I | Acquisition by staking of target areas, complete cross section of drilling, detailed aeromeg surveying of property, soil sampling of areas of interest, drilling of 8 angle RC holes across mineralized fault zones. | $60,000 | Six months to complete |
Phase II | Drilling of 30 angle holes across mineralized feeder faults, and reclamation. | $60,000 | Six months to complete |
We have not yet commenced Phase I of our exploration program. The commencement of Phase I is subject to our obtaining additional financing. The estimated cost of Phase I of our exploration program
4
is $60,000. We had cash of $9 as at September 30, 2004 and a net loss of $109,159 since our inception. We have insufficient cash on hand to pay the costs of Phase I of our proposed exploration program and to fund our operations for the next twelve months. We will also require additional financing in order to proceed with any additional work beyond Phase I of our exploration program, if warranted.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to undertake Phase I of the drilling and exploration program in order to assess whether our claims possess commercially exploitable mineral deposits. The total cost of Phase I is estimated to be $60,000. We have insufficient cash on hand to fund Phase I and require additional financing to proceed with Phase I of our exploration program. At present, we have no plans to engage in any alternative business if we cease or suspend operations as a result of insufficient funds to complete any phase of our exploration program, however, we may seek other business opportunities in the future.
Phase I will involve staking of open ground at a cost of $5,000. Filing fees are anticipated to be $7,000. We will then initiate drilling for soil sample areas of potential interest including 8 angle holes 300 feet long across the suspected areas that indicate the presence of ore. Drilling and assaying costs are expected to be approximately $34,000. Samples will be assayed for gold, silver, arsenic, mercury, bismuth, and copper on 5 foot intervals. The cost of permitting and geological analysis is estimated to be $7,000. In addition, we anticipate incurring costs of $1,000 for soil and rock sampling and $2,000 for data compilation fees. The total cost of Phase I will is estimated to be $60,000 and will take approximately six months to complete.
Upon completion of Phase I, we will determine the cost effectiveness of proceeding to Phase II. We will undertake to have our data from Phase I independently verified for accuracy by an independent registered engineer to confirm the existence of mineral deposits. In addition, we will make investigations into whether a buyer or a market exists for our mineral products and analyze whether the minerals can be extracted by us for a profit.
If we decide to proceed with Phase II, subject to positive results from Phase I and a recommendation to proceed with Phase II from our consulting geologist, we will be required to obtain additional financing. Phase II will consist of more extensive drilling of 30 angle holes averaging 300 feet across to determine the extent, depth and dip of ore discovered in Phase I. We anticipate incurring costs of $39,000 for drilling and assaying in addition to $6,000 for drill site construction in Phase II. We will also incur costs of $10,000 for a geologist $5,000 for permitting and reclamation. It is anticipated that the total cost of Phase II will be $60,000. Phase II will take approximately six months to complete.

Revenues
We have not earned any revenues to date. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we enter into commercial production of our mineral properties. We are presently in the pre-exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such deposits are discovered, that we will enter into further substantial exploration programs.
Operating Expenses
The primary components of our operating expenses are outlined in the table below:
| | | |
| Third Quarter Ended September 30 | | Nine Months Ended September 30 |
| | | Percentage | | | | Percentage |
| 2004 | 2003 | Increase / | | 2004 | 2003 | Increase / |
| | | (Decrease) | | | | (Decrease) |
Professional fees | $2,422 | $1,251 | 93.6% | | $6,297 | $4,595 | 37% |
Transfer agent fees | $121 | - | 100% | | $658 | - | 100% |
Mineral property | $1,350 | $3,500 | (61.4%) | | $6,350 | $5,000 | 27% |
expenses | | | | | | | |
Miscellaneous expenses | $22 | - | 100% | | $108 | $44 | 145% |
Total Operating Expenses | $,915 | $4,751 | (17.6%) | | $13,413 | $9,639 | 39.1% |
Our operating expenses incurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 increased primarily as a result of increased mineral property expenses nd professional fees incurred in connection with our ongoing reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations. The increase will be attributable to our completion of Phase I of our geological exploration program, subject to additional financing and the professional fees to be incurred in connection with our ongoing reporting obligations under the Exchange Act.
Net Loss
The increase in our net loss during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 was entirely attributable to operating expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Working Capital
| | | Percentage |

Current Assets | $1,434 | $1,475 | (2.7)% |
Current Liabilities | $16,093 | $17,721 | (9.1)% |

Cash Flows | | |
| Nine Months Ended September 30 |
| 2004 | 2003 |
Cash Flows from (used in) Operating Activities | $(15,941) | $(2,044) |
Cash Flows from (used in) Investing Activities | - | $1,500 |
Cash Flows from (used in) Financing Activities | $15,900 | - |
Net Increase (decrease) in Cash During Period | $(41) | $(544) |
Net cash from financing during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 included proceeds of $15,000 from a private placement of 300,000 of our common shares at a price of $0.05 completed in March, 2004. Proceeds of the private placement were used for working capital and to meet our lease obligations under the Lease Agreement. We anticipate that we will incur approximately $50,000for operating expenses, including professional legal and accounting expenses associated with our ongoing reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and lease payments under the Lease Agreement during the next twelve months.
Financing Requirements
From inception to September 30, 2004, we have suffered losses totalling $109,159 and net cash outflows from operations. We expect to continue to incur substantial losses until we complete the development of our business.
Our interim financial statements included with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Our current operating funds are insufficient to complete our proposed exploration program. Therefore, we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our full business plan. As at September 30, 2004, we had cash in the amount of $9. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income. Our plan of operations calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of our mineral claims. We also require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues.
We currently do not have any arrangements for financing and we may not be able to obtain financing when required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market prices for the mineral property and gold. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(A) Evaluation Of Disclosure Controls And Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of achieving our disclosure control objectives. Our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at this reasonable assurance level as of the period covered.

(B) Changes In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
In connection with the evaluation of our internal controls during our last fiscal quarter, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have determined that there are no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially effect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
