Our Business
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 6, 2002. We are an exploration stage company. We own one property. We are not the recorded owner of this property. The claims on this property are recorded in Rod Husband's name to avoid pay additional fees, however, title to the claims have been conveyed to us in an unrecorded deed. Mr. Husband is an officer and director of the Company. We intend to explore for gold on this property.
Our administrative office is located at 141-757 West Hastings Street, Suite 328, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 1A1, telephone number (604) 813-2328, and our registered statutory office is located at 4745 Caughlin Parkway, Reno, Nevada, USA, 89509. Our fiscal year end is December 31.

RISK FACTORS
Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock.
Risks Associated With Our Company:
1. We expect losses to continue, and the failure to generate revenues could cause us to go out of business.
We were incorporated on August 6, 2002, 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. We have not generated any operating revenues since inception. Our net loss since inception is $4,216. 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 and 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.
2. We are subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.
We are 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. If we are not able to address these events, should they occur, we may have to curtail or suspend our operations.
3. We have no known mineral reserves and if we cannot find a mineral reserve we will have to cease operations.
Because we have no mineral reserves, we have no current means for producing income. The cost of Phase 1 exploration will be about $38,000 and Phase 2 exploration will be about $100,000. Additional capital expenditures will have to be made after these phases before we will generate revenue. The amount of proceeds necessary to sustain operations for the next 12 months will be about $138,000. If we do not find a mineral reserve containing gold or if we cannot explore the mineral reserve, either because we do not have the money to do it or because it will not be economically feasible to do it, we will have to cease operations and you will lose your investment.
4. Weather interruptions in the Province of British Columbia may affect and delay our proposed exploration operations.
Our proposed exploration work can only be performed approximately five to eight months out of the year. This is because rain and snow may cause roads leading to our claims to be impassable from mid October to mid April. When roads are impassable, we are unable to work and generate income.
5. Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration. This may prevent us from realizing any revenues and you may lose your investment as a result.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit the time and money we expend on exploration of interests in our property. In particular:
we may not devote the time we would like to exploring our property;
we may not spend as much money as we would like to exploring our property;
we may not be able to rent the quality of equipment we would like to have for exploration; and
we may not be able to have the number of people working on our property that we would like to have.
By limiting our operations, it will take longer to explore our property. There are other larger exploration companies that could and probably would spend more time and money exploring the property that we have acquired.
6. We will have to suspend our exploration plans if we do not have access to all our supplies and materials we need.
Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies like dynamite, 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.
7. We may not have enough money to cover the expenses of offering, to complete our exploration and to absorb the costs of being a public company. We anticipate that we will need $138,000 to complete the exploration
We may not have enough money to complete the exploration of our property. If it turns out that we do not have 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. We may not be able to absorb the costs of being a public company. If we need additional money, and can't raise it, we will have to suspend or cease operations.
8. One of our officers and directors has conflicts of interest in that they are officers and directors of other mining companies.
One of our officers and directors has conflicts of interest in that he is an officer and director 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 Mr. Rod Husband is an officer or director, a direct conflict of interest could result.
9. We owe our officers and directors a substantial amount of money that they are entitled to demand at any time and if they demand repayment of the amount we owe them it may compromise our business operations and you could lose your investment.
Ms. Angela Du and Archer Pacific Management, a company wholly owned by Ernest Cheung, advanced demand loans to us in the total sum of $162,090, which were used for organizational and start-up costs and operating capital. The loans do not bear interest and have not been paid as of the date hereof.. We issued two promissory notes reflecting the demand loans and they are due upon demand. Our officers agreed that they will accept payment from us when the money is available. However, if they demand repayment of the money owed to them before we are in a position to pay it this may harm our proposed business operations and new investors may lose there investment.
10. We may conduct further offerings in the future in which case your shareholdings will be diluted.
We may conduct further offerings in the future to finance our current project or to finance subsequent projects that we decide to undertake. If we decide to raise money or conduct further offerings in the future your shareholdings will be diluted.
11. The deed on our property has not been registered in our name. The recorded owner will have superior title to the property.
The claims are recorded in Mr. Husband's name to avoid paying additional fees, however, title to the claims have been conveyed by us by an unrecorded deed. Under British Columbia provincial law, if the deed is recorded in our name, we will have to pay a minimum of US$320.51 (CDN$500) and file other documents since we are a foreign corporation in Canada. An unrecorded deed is one which title to the property has been transferred to us, but the deed has not been filed with the British Columbia office of records. Title to the property is superior to all other unrecorded deeds. Should Mr. Husband transfer title to another person and that deed is recorded before recording our deed, that person would have superior title and we will have none.
Risks Associated With This Offering
1. Because our common stock is "penny stock", you may not be able to resell our shares.
Our common stock is defined as "penny stock" under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and its rules. Because our common stock is a penny stock, you may not be able 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, if any, are willing to make a market in our stock. See "Description of Securities - Penny Stock".
2. Ms. Du and Archer Pacific Management Inc. will receive a substantial benefit from your investment.
Ms. Angela Du and Archer Pacific Management Inc., our only shareholders, will receive a substantial benefit from your investment. They are supplying the cash of $6,030 and loans totaling $162,090, which have to be repaid. 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 Ms. Angela Du and Archer Pacific Management Inc. will lose only approximately $6,030.
3. 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. We do not plan to list our stock on any national securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market but we do plan to quote our stock on the OTCBB after the completion of this offering. If you do want to resell your shares, before our stock is quoted on the OTCBB, you will have to locate a buyer and negotiate your own sale. Therefore, you may not be able to resell your shares.
4. 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 the 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.
5. You may be investing in a company that does not have adequate funds to conduct its operations.
Because there is no minimum number of shares that must be sold and we will not refund any funds to you, it is possible that we may not raise enough funds to conduct our operations. If that happens, you will suffer a loss in the amount of your investment.
6. Sales of common stock by our officers and directors will likely cause the market price for the common stock to drop.
A total of 900,000 shares of stock were issued to directors and officers. They paid an average price of $0.0067 per share. Subject to the restrictions described under"Principal Stockholders-Future Sales by Existing Stockholders", they will likely sell a portion of their stock if the market price goes above $0.10. 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 $50,000 will be $150,000 if all of the shares are sold. The first $50,000 raised will be used for offering expenses. We will use the net proceeds as follows:
Amount raised | $50,000 | $100,000 | $150,000 | $200,000 |
Allocation |
Offering expenses | $50,000 | $50,000 | $50,000 | $50,000 |
Exploration | $0 | $38,000 (Phase 1) $12,000 (Phase 2) | $38,000 (Phase 1) $62,000 (Phase 2) | $38,000 (Phase 1) $100,000 (Phase 2) |
Working Capital | $0 | $0 | $0 | $12,000 |
If we raise less than $50,000 in this offering, we will not be able to continue our proposed operations. In this circumstance we will consider conducting another public offering, a private placement or borrowing funds to continue our proposed operations. See "Risk Factors-Risks Associated With Our Company-7. We may not have enough money to complete our exploration." If we raise $100,000 we expect that we will be able to pay our offering expenses, pay the costs associated with Phase 1 and part of Phase 2 of our exploration program. If we raise $150,000 we will be able to pay our offering expenses, pay the costs associated with Phase I of the exploration program and pay a portion of the costs associated with Phase 2 of the exploration program. To complete Phase 2 of the exploration program, we will use the loans provided to us by the officers and directors to pay the balance of the costs of Phase 2. See "Management Discussions and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Result s of Operations".
If we raise $200,000, we will be able to pay our offering expenses, pay the cost associated with Phase I of the exploration program and Phase 2 of the exploration program.
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 the proposed exploration program yields a significant discovery of minerals in Phase one, the Company will focus its efforts on that discovery in a Phase 2 program that would probably entail trenching and diamond drilling. This phase of exploration is more focused than that of Phase 1 and will provide more detailed data toward determining the size of the discovery. Continued success in Phase 2 would lead to more intensive diamond drilling and the completion of a feasibility study to determine whether or not an economically viable mineral reserve exists. If we have to continue to explore for gold, the costs of exploration will increase. See "Business-Our Proposed Exploration Program".
While we concurrently 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 judgment 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 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. 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;
our relative cash requirements;
the price we believe a purchaser is willing to pay for our stock.
See "Plan of Distribution-Terms of the Offering".
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 new investors purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing shareholders.
As of October 15, 2002, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was $1,814 or approximately $0.002 per share based upon 900,000 shares outstanding. The following calculations has taken a $50,000 cost of issuance and distribution into account.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event all of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 2,900,000 shares to be outstanding will be $151,814, or approximately $0.052 per share, an increase of $0.050 from $0.002. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.050 per share without any additional investment on their part. New investors will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.052 per share, a dilution of $0.048.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 75% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 2,400,000 shares to be outstanding will be $101,814, or approximately $0.042 per share, an increase of $0.040 from $0.002. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.040 per share without any additional investment on their part. New investors will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.042 per share, a dilution of $0.058.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 50% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 1,900,000 shares to be outstanding will be $51,814, or approximately $0.027 per share, an increase of $0.025 from $0.002. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.025 per share without any additional investment on their part. New investors will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.027 per share, a dilution of $0.073.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 25% of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 1,400,000 shares to be outstanding will be $1,814, or approximately $0.0013 per share, an increase of ($0.0007) from $0.002. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by ($0.0007) per share without any additional investment on their part. New investors will incur an immediate dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.0013 per share, a dilution of $0.099.
After completion of this offering, if 2,000,000 shares are sold, new investors will own approximately 68.96% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which new investors will have made a cash investment of $200,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 31.04% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $6,030, or approximately $0.0067 per share. Net tangible book value before the offering was approximately $0.002 and net tangible book value after the offering will be approximately $0.052, an increase of $0.050.
After completion of this offering, if 1,500,000 shares are sold, new investors will own approximately 62.50% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which new investors will have made a cash investment of $150,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 37.50% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $6,030, or approximately $0.0067 per share. Net tangible book value before the offering was approximately $0.002 and net tangible book value after the offering will be approximately $0.042, an increase of $0.040.
After completion of this offering, if 1,000,000 shares are sold, new investors will own approximately 52.63% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which new investors will have made a cash investment of $100,000, or $0.10 per share.

BUSINESS
General
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada, on August 6, 2002. We own one mining property. We maintain our statutory registered agent's office at 4745 Caughlin Parkway, Suite 200, Reno, Nevada, USA, 89509, and our business office is located at 141-757 West Hastings Street, Suite 328, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6C 1A1. Our telephone number is (604) 813-2328. Our offices are leased from Archer Pacific Management Inc., a company wholly owned by Ernest Cheung, started in October, 2002, on a month-to-month basis, and our monthly rental is $600.
The Company intends to use the advances from Angela Du and Archer Pacific for our property acquisition, for corporate expenses and to repay outstanding indebtedness.
Angela Due dedicates 30% of her professional time to the business. This time is spent preparing for the offering as soon as the Sb-2 is declared effective.
Ernest Cheung dedicates 5% of his professional time to the business. This time is spent taking care of the day to day bookkeeping duties and general management work.
Rod Husband dedicates 2% of his professional time to the business. This time is spent preparing for the exploration work to start.
Background
In October of 2002, Rod Husband, a member of the board of directors, acquired the mineral property containing two 4-post mineral claims by staking same himself. It cost us US$256.41(Cdn$400). The claims are recorded in Mr. Husband's name to avoid paying additional fees, however, title to the claims has been conveyed by us by an unrecorded deed for consideration of US$6.41 (Cdn$10). Under British Columbia provincial law, if the deed is recorded in our name, we will have to pay a minimum of US$6.41 (Cdn$500) and file other documents, since we are a foreign corporation in Canada. An unrecorded deed is one which title to the property has been transferred to us, but the deed has not been filed with the British Columbia office of records. Title to the property is superior to all other unrecorded deeds. On the same day, Mr. Husband executed a Statement of Trustee declaring that he holds the property in trust for the Company, and will deliver full title on demand to the Company. Should Mr. Husband transfer title to another person and that deed is recorded before recording our deed, that person will have superior title and we will have none. If that event occurs, however, Mr. Husband will be liable to us for monetary damages for breach of his warranty of title. We have decided that if gold is recovered on the property and it is economical to remove the gold, we will record the deed, pay the additional tax, and file as a foreign corporation. We are in possession of the unrecorded deed and the decision to record or not record the deed is solely within our province. The property was chosen by Mr. Husband. See "Risk Factors-Risks Associated With Our Company-11. The deed on our property has not been registered in our name. The recorded owner will have superior title to the property." Should we determine not to proceed with our planned business operations, we will revert the claims back to Mr. Husband for a consideration of US$6.41 (CDN$10), which will be paid by Mr. Husband.
The property was chosen for its potential to host precious metal mineralization, primarily gold. We plan to perform a modern exploration program over a relatively large area that is covered by our claims; recent exploration in the area in the late 1980's and early 1990s appears to have been on a very limited scale.
To date we have not performed any work on our property. We are presently in the exploration stage and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists in our property until further exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation concludes economic and legal viability.
Location and Access
The mining property comprises two 4-post mineral claims covering a total area of 1,000 hectares (2,470 acres). The property is located approximately 50 kilometers west-southwest of Kelowna, British Columbia, and 10 kilometers west of the formerly producing Brenda copper-molybdenum mine. Road access to the property is available from Highway 97C via the Sunset Main Forestry access roads.
Claim Status
The following table states claim names, claim size, tag numbers, tenure numbers and anniversary dates:
Claim Name | Units (Hectares) | Tag Number | Tenure Number | Expiry Date |
SUN | 20 (500 ha.) | 244579 | 396864 | October 8, 2003 |
SET | 20 (500 ha.) | 244580 | 396865 | October 8, 2003 |
In order to maintain the claims the holder must either record the exploration work carried out on that claim during the anniversary year or pay cash in lieu. During the first three years of a claim's existence, the cash in lieu amount is US$64.10 (CDN$100) per unit with an additional US$6.41 (CDN$10) per unit recording fee; the cash in lieu amount increases to US$128.20 (Cdn$200) per unit after the third year. Work performed must equal or exceed the minimum specified value per unit; excess value of work in one year can be applied to cover work requirements on the claim for additional years. During the first three years, the Company must spend over US$2,564.10 (CDN$4,000)each year on exploration to keep the property in good standing. After the first three years the cost would be US$5,128.20 (CDN$8,000) per year.
Permits are required by the government of British Columbia for mineral exploration activities that involve surface disturbance. As the initial recommended exploration activities for our mineral property involve little or no surface disturbance, permits are not required at this stage.
Physiography, Climate and Infrastructure
The property is situated in the Okanagan Plateau of south central British Columbia. The typical topography here is gently rolling, with rounded ridge tops and deeply incised dendritic stream valleys. The claims lie at elevations ranging from 1,400 metres (4,593 feet) above sea level in the southeast corner, to a high of 1,568 metres (5,145 feet) in the west-central portion of the property. The forest vegetation on the property consists mainly fir, pine, spruce and aspen, some of which has been harvested by logging.
The climate is characterized by relatively low precipitation with temperatures ranging from minus 20 degrees Celsius in the winter to over 30 degrees Celsius in the summer. The summer months are generally dry, while snow pack of up to two metres (6.5 feet) may accumulate during the winter. The property is easily accessible from mid April to late October, although some work such as geophysical surveys and drilling could take place year round.
The property is accessed by a network of good gravel logging roads. The city of Kelowna lies 50 kilometres to the east-northeast. It is a major service centre for the Okanagan Valley region. Provincial highways, rail freight lines, and an airport serve the city. Sufficient equipment, service suppliers and exploration personnel can be obtained in Kelowna.
Power is readily available from nearby transmission lines running in the formerly producing Brenda mine. Water in sufficient quantities for drilling is available from nearby streams and lakes.
Property Geology
We have a geologist report on the property provided by Stephen Kenwood dated October 13, 2002 (the "Kenwood Report"). Mr. Kenwood is a graduate of the University of British Columbia (1987) and holds a B.Sc. degree in geology. He is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geologists of British Columbia and has been engaged in his profession by various mining exploration and/or geological consulting companies since 1987. According to the Kenwood Report, much of the property is covered by glacial drift. Outcrops are essentially restricted to roadcuts, ridge tops and stream gullies.
The property is underlain by volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the Nicola Group and by Middle Jurassic granites and granodiorites of the Osprey Lake batholith. The contact between these units trends northeasterly across the property. Early Tertiary feldspar porphyry stocks and dikes of the Otter intrusions occur throughout the property. Mapping by Dawson and Ray show a north-northeast striking, west-northwest dipping succession of andesitic flows and tuffs of the Peachland Creek formation and argillites and limy argillites of the Stemwinder Formation.
The main types of alteration recognized in the granitic rocks throughout the property are propylitic, argillic, sericitic, potassium feldspar stable phyllic, phyllic, advanced argillic and silicic. Locally, potassic alteration, skarnification and silicification are evident, but are relatively minor and do not appear to be related to mineralization.
Previous History
The area of the property has been explored for copper and molybdenum deposits during the late 1960's and early 1970's during the exploration of the Brenda deposit. The Brenda mine milled 177 million tonnes of ore grading 0.169% copper and 0.043% molybdenum during the period 1970 to 1990.
Prospecting and reconnaissance sampling carried out by Fairfield Minerals Ltd., from 1986 to 1990 revealed gold mineralization hosted by quartz veins or sulphide skarn pods (Rowe, 1992). From 1990 to 1995, Fairfield conducted soil geochemistry, stream sediment sampling, prospecting and geological mapping in an extensive area that included the property. Numerous elevated gold values were returned from these programs.
Our Proposed Exploration Program
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 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.
Stephen Kenwood will oversee and conduct the exploration on our property. See "Business-Property Geology"for a description of Mr. Kenwood's qualifications.
It is recommended that further exploration work be undertaken on the property to assess its potential to host gold mineralization within quartz (+ sulphide) veins and/or shear zones. Only cursory exploration has been done on the property,. The showings on the property indicate a similar geological model; mineralization at the Siwash deposit is hosted in thin quartz-sulphide veins that crosscut well altered intrusive rocks and, to a lesser extent, volcanic rocks. A number of zones on the Fairfield controlled property contain sections of parallel veining.
A phased program of exploration activities will be undertaken, funds permitting with a goal of generating and prioritizing targets to test by trenching or drilling. Initial exploration activities (grid establishment, geological mapping, soil sampling, geophysical surveys) do not involve ground disturbance and will not require a work permit. Any follow-up trenching and/or drilling will require permits, applications for which should be submitted well in advance of the planned work.
The first phase of exploration should be a thorough assessment of the known showings along with basic prospecting and geological outcrop mapping to be undertaken while soil geochemical and geophysical grid work is performed. The primary target is precious metal vein-type mineralization; a second target to consider would be a porphyry style of copper-molybdenum mineralization given the relative proximity to the Brenda mine to the east.
Phase 1 will take about one and a half months and cost up to US$38,000. Phase 1 will be started in mid April and if there is snow or rain that causes the roads leading to our claims to be impassable, we will be unable to work until the roads are clear.
The makeup of the second phase of exploration will be contingent on the first phase and will serve to build on successful results from the first phase. It is expected that detailed geological mapping will be completed on the property as well as mechanical trenching and diamond drilling to test the extent of significant outcrop and geochemical/geophysical anomalies.
Phase 2 will take about 2 months and cost up to US$100,000.
If we find mineralized materials, we intend to try to explore the reserves ourselves, and/or bring in other interested parties or partners. Even if we receive the maximum proceeds from this offering, we would still need additional funds to explore the reserves.
Competitive Factors
The gold mining industry is fragmented. We compete with other exploration companies looking for gold. We are one of the smallest exploration companies in existence. We are an infinitely small participant in the gold mining market. While we compete with other exploration companies, there is no competition for the exploration or removal of mineral from out of 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 (the "Act"). This Act sets forth rules for locating claims, posting claims, working claims and 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 of mining properties. Its goals are to protect the environment through a series of regulations affecting Health, Safety Archeological Sites and exploration access.
We are responsible to provide a safe working environment, not disrupt archeological sites, and conduct our activities to prevent unnecessary damage to the property.
We will secure all necessary permits for exploration and, if exploration 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 or 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 believe that 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.
Employees
Initially, we intend to use the services of subcontractors for manual labor exploration work on our property. We will be able to find subcontractors to perform the manual labor exploration work and we will pay the subcontractors the going rate at that time, for their services. Our only technical employees will be Angela Du and Ernest Cheung, our officers and directors.
Employees and Employment Contracts
At present, we have no employees, other than Ms. Du and Mr. Cheung, our officers and directors, who were not paid any compensation for their services. Ms. Du and Mr. Cheung do not have employment agreements with us. We presently do not have any 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 employee.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS 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 any 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. We must raise cash in order to implement our plan and stay in business.
To meet our needs 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. Whatever money we do raise will be applied to offering expenses, exploration and working capital. 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 obtained demand loans of $162,090 from our officers. See "Risk Factors-Risks Associated With Our Company-We owe our officers and directors a substantial amount of money that they are entitled to demand at any time and if they demand repayment of the amount we owe them it may compromise our business operations and you could lose your investment". 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 may not be able to continue for the next 12 months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. Our founders have not made a commitment of financial support to meet our obligations and we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated unless and until gold is discovered on the property that we have an interest. Accordingly, we must raise cash from other than the sale of the gold. We will be conducting research in connection with the exploration of our property. We are not going to buy or sell any plant or significant equipment. We do not expect a change in the number of our employees.
Limited Operating History-Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about our company upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage 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.
To become profitable and competitive, we conduct research and exploration of our property before we start production on 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, explore or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing stockholders.
Results in Operations
From inception to August 6, 2002
We just recently acquired our first property, and are commencing the research and exploration stage of our mining operations on that property at this time.
Since inception, we have used our common stock to raise money, we have also obtained demand loans totaling $162,090 from our officers and directors, for our property acquisition, for corporate expenses and to repay outstanding indebtedness. Net cash provided by financing activities from inception to October 15, 2002 was $6,030, as a result of proceeds received from advances.
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 900,000 founders shares on August 6, 2002. This was accounted for as capital of $6,030. Since our inception, Ms. Angela Du and Archer Pacific Management Inc., have advanced demand loans to us in the total sum of $162,090, which were used for organizational and start-up costs and operating capital. The loans do not bear interest and have not been paid as of the date hereof. Ms. Angela Du and Archer Pacific Management Inc. agreed that they will accept payment from us when the Company is able to pay back the demand loans.
As of October 15, 2002, our total assets were $163,904, and our total liabilities were $162,090.

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 is Mr. Husband's devotion of time to mining projects that do not involve us.
Specifically, Mr. Husband is a director of Majestic Gold Corp., Ballad Ventures Inc. and Kinvara Ventures Inc., all of which are engaged in the mining business.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Ms. Du, Messrs. Cheung and Husband, our officers and directors, were not compensated for their services and there are no plans to compensate them in the near future until such time as we generate sufficient revenue to do so. The proceeds of this offering will not be used to compensate them.
Indemnification
Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to a proceeding, including any lawsuit, 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 being indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may also 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 laws of the State of Nevada.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors and 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.

Future Sales by Existing Stockholders

Under Rule 144, the shares can only be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one year after their acquisition.
Any shares purchased in this offering by affiliates of the Company, will be subject to Rule 144 limitations on resale. Affiliates of the Company refer to anyone who directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company.
Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resaleable, and sales on all 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.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 common stock with a par value of $0.001 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. 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.
Penny Stock
Our common stock is not listed or quoted on any national securities exchange or trading medium. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted a rule that defines a "penny stock", for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
- that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and
- that the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.
To approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
- obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person; and
- make a reasonable determination that the transaction in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
- sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and
- that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks and about commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that brokers will not want to make a market in our shares. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline. See "Risk Factors-Risks Associated With This Offering-1. Because our common stock is a penny stock, you may not be able to resell our shares."
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 the event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. After this offering is completed, the present stockholders will own approximately 31.04% of our outstanding shares.
A simple majority vote is required for shareholders to take action.
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 on 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.
Reports
After we complete this offering, we will not be required to furnish you with an annual report. Further we will not voluntarily send you an annual report. We will be required to file reports with the SEC under Section 15(d) of the Securities Act. The reports will be filed electronically. The reports we will be required to file are Forms 10-KSB, 10-QSB, and 8-K.

The SEC also maintains an Internet site that will contain copies of the reports we file electronically. The address for the Internet site is www.sec.gov.
Market Information

The number shares of common stock that could be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act is the common stock held by Ms. Du and Archer Pacific Management Inc. which total 900,000 shares. .

We have audited the balance sheet of Eagle River Mining Corp. (an exploration stage company) as at October 15, 2002 and the statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders' equity for the period from August 6, 2002 (date of incorporation) to October 15, 2002. 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.

Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

__________________________________________________________________
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Eagle River Mining Corp (the "Company"), an exploration stage company, was incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA on August 6, 2002. The Company has not yet determined whether this property contains mineral resources that are economically recoverable.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates, which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all cash and other highly liquid investments with initial maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Foreign Currency Transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies during the period are translated into United States dollars at the rates of exchange ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are incorporated into the financial statements by translating foreign currencies into United Sates dollars at the rates of exchange ruling on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising are dealt within the income statements.
Income Taxes
The Company account for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, which requires the assets and liabilities approach to accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when differences are expected to reverse.
3. DUE TO SHAREHOLDERS

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 questions 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 which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that of which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (S 230.424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, if, in the aggregate the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
c. To include any additional or changed material information with respect to the plan of distribution.
2. For determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, to treat each such post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
3. To file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant hereby certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all 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 thereto authorized, in Vancouver, British Columbia, on this 16th day of January, 2003.
