Risks Related To Our Financial Condition and Business Model | 7 |
If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail | 7 |
Because we will need additional financing to fund our extensive exploration activities, our auditors believe there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern | 7 |
Because we have only recently commenced business operations, we face a high risk of business failure due to our inability to predict the success of our business | 7 |
Because our executive officers do not have formal training specific to the technicalities of mineral exploration, there is a higher risk our business will fail | 8 |
Because we conduct our business through verbal agreements with consultants and arms-length third parties, there is a substantial risk that such persons may not be readily available to us and the implementation of our business plan could be impaired. | 8 |
Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in mineral exploration and the commercial production business, we face a high risk of business failure | 8 |
Because we anticipate our operating expenses will increase prior to our earning revenues, we may never achieve profitability | 9 |
Because access to our mineral claims may be restricted by inclement weather, we may be delayed in our exploration efforts | 9 |
Because our president has agreed to provide his services on a part-time basis, he may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operations, causing our business to fail | 9 |
Because our president, Mr. Scott Young, owns 67.88% of our outstanding common stock and serves as our sole director, investors may find that corporate decisions influenced by Mr. Young are inconsistent with the best interests of other stockholders | 10 |
Because our mineral claims are not registered in our name but in the name of Marvin Mitchell, our agent, there is a risk that a difficulty could arise when registering the mineral claims to us | 10 |
Risks Related To Legal Uncertainty | 10 |
Because we will be subject to compliance with government regulation which may change, the anticipated costs of our exploration program may increase | 10 |
Because the Province of British Columbia owns the land covered by our mineral claims and Native land claims might affect our title to the mineral claims or to British Columbia’s title of the property, our business plan may fail | 11 |

Summary
Chubasco Resources Corp.
We are in the business of mineral exploration. We are not a blank check company as defined in Rule 419 of Regulation C and we have not been formed for the purpose of arranging an acquisition. On September 14, 2004, we acquired through our agent, Mr. Marvin A. Mitchell, P.Eng., a 100% interest in fourteen mineral claims which we refer to as the Chub mineral claims. We purchased the Chub mineral claims based upon a geological report prepared by Mr. Eric A. Ostensoe, P. Eng., our consulting geologist. We hold these claims pursuant to a Bill of Sale Absolute between Mr. Mitchell our agent, and our wholly owned subsidiary, Chub Explorations Ltd. We refer to our subsidiary as CEL. In order to minimize cost and any inconvenience, we have not registered the Chub mineral claims in the name of CEL with the B.C. Mineral Titles Branch. Our agent’s firm, Mitchell Geological Services Inc., is the operator of the property and is responsible for filing geological assessment reports with the B.C. Mineral Titles Branch in respect of our exploration expenditures. The Chub mineral claims are located near the town of Tulameen in the Similkameen Mining Division of the Province of British Columbia. On September 14, 2004, we entered into a Property Acquisition Agreement (“Property Acquisition Agreement”). Pursuant to the Property Acquisition Agreement, we have received and executed a Bill of Sale Absolute in the proper form transferring all rights, title and interest in the Chub Mineral Claims to CEL. We have expended approximately $1,291 in relation to our acquisition of the Chub mineral claims.
On September 14, 2004 we entered into a Property Operating Agreement (‘Property Operating Agreement”). Pursuant to this Property Operating Agreement, Mitchell Geological Services Inc. became our operator and will thus oversee our initial phase mineral exploration project conducted on the Chub mineral claims in exchange for a 15% joint venture interest in the claims The 15% being paid to Mitchell Geological Services Inc. is dependent upon it serving as operator for the duration of our initial exploration program on the property.
The Property Operating Agreement, dated September 14, 2004, obligates us to incur exploration expenditures of no more than $9,120, on our first phase exploration program. Any exploration costs in excess of $9,120 will require our prior approval and we will be required to pay only 85% of the additional costs.
We have commenced our exploration program. Prior to acquiring the Chub mineral claims we incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary, Chub Exploration Ltd., a British Columbia corporation. Our subsidiary, which we refer to as CEL, was formed for the purpose of carrying out our mineral exploration program. We have transferred all of our 100% ownership interest in the Chub mineral claims to CEL.
Our plan of operations is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Chub mineral claims in order to assess whether these claims possess commercially exploitable mineral deposits. Our exploration program is designed to explore for commercially viable deposits of copper, lead/zinc, gold and other metallic minerals. We have not, nor has any predecessor, identified any commercially exploitable reserves of these minerals on our mineral claims. We are an exploration
stage company and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our mineral claims.
Prior to acquiring the Chub mineral claims, we retained the service Eric A. Ostensoe, P. Geo., a professional consulting geologist. Our consultant prepared a geological report for us on the mineral exploration potential of the claims. Included in this report is a recommended initial exploration program with a budget of $9,120. Exploration costs are billed to us in Canadian dollars, but the Company pays those costs in U.S. dollars. The value of Canadian dollars when converted into U.S. currency can fluctuate greatly. In an effort to reduce any risk created by fluctuations in the exchange rate, we have committed in the Property Operating Agreement, dated September 14, 2004, to expend no more than $9,120 U.S. dollars during the initial exploration program after the exploration expenditures have been converted from Canadian dollars into U.S. dollars without prior approval.All dollar amounts p rovided in this prospectus are stated or quantified in U.S. currency.
The mineral exploration program, consisting of geological mapping and sampling is oriented toward defining drill targets on mineralized zones within the Chub mineral claims.
At this time we are uncertain of the number of mineral exploration phases we will conduct before concluding that there are, or are not, commercially viable minerals on our claims. Further phases beyond the current exploration program will be dependent upon a number of factors such as our consulting geologist’s recommendations based upon ongoing exploration program results and our available funds.
Since we are in the exploration stage of our business plan, we have not yet earned any revenues from our planned operations. As of October 31, 2004, we had $86,058 cash on hand and liabilities in the amount of $7,699. Accordingly, our working capital position as of October 31, 2004 was $78,489. Since our inception through October 31, 2004, we have incurred a net loss of $25,309. We attribute our net loss to having no revenues to offset our expenses and the professional fees related to the creation and operation of our business. We have sufficient funds to take us through our initial exploration program which, under the terms of the Property Operating Agreement must be completed by December 31, 2005. Our working capital may be sufficient to enable us to perform limited exploration phases beyond the first geological exploration phase on the property. Accordingly, we may require additional financing in the event that further exploration is needed.
Our fiscal year ended is July 31.
We were incorporated on April 27, 2004, under the laws of the state of Nevada. Our principal offices are located at 509 - 4438 West 10th, Avenue, Vancouver, B.C., V6R 4R8, Canada. Our phone number is 604-669-9740 and our facsimile number is 604-681-6329.
The Offering
Securities Being Offered Up to 3,216,500 shares of our common stock.

Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related To Our Financial Condition and Business Model
If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail
For the next year of operations, our current operating funds should be sufficient to cover the first phase of our exploration program, and a contemplated second phase exploration program of similar scope, in addition to providing funds for anticipated operating overheads, professional fees and regulatory filing fees. In order for us to perform any further exploration or extensive testing past the first two phases we will need to obtain additional financing. As of October 31, 2004, we had cash in the amount of $86,058. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income. Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of our mineral claims. While we have sufficient funds to carry out our initial exploration program and, if warranted, a follow-up program of a similar scale, on the Chub mineral claims, we will require additional financing if further explo ration programs are necessary. We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues once exploration is complete. If our exploration programs are successful in discovering reserves of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to place the Chub mineral claim into commercial production. 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 copper, lead, zinc, gold and other metallic minerals and the costs of exploring for or commercial production of these materials. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.
Because we will need additional financing to fund our extensive exploration activities, our accountants believe there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern
We have incurred a net loss of $25,309 for the period from April 27, 2004, our inception, to October 31, 2004, and have no sales. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the commercial exploitation of our mineral claims. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Because we have only recently commenced business operations, we face a high risk of business failure due to our inability to predict the success of our business.
We have just begun the initial stages of exploration of our mineral claims, and thus have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be able to operate the business successfully. We were incorporated on April 27, 2004, and to date have been involved primarily in organizational
activities, the acquisition of the mineral claims and obtaining independent consulting geologist’s report on our mineral claims. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus.
Because our executive officers do not have formal training specific to the technicalities of mineral exploration, there is a higher risk our business will fail
Mr. Scott Young, our president and director, does not have formal training as a geologist or an engineer. Additionally, Mr. Young has never managed any company involved in starting or operating a mine. With no direct training or experience in these areas, our management may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within this industry and hence may lack certain skills that are advantageous in managing an exploration company. In addition, Mr. Young’s decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral exploration companies commonly use.
Consequently, our operations, earnings, and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management’s lack of experience in this industry.
Because we conduct our business through verbal agreements with consultants and arms-length third parties, there is a substantial risk that such persons may not be readily available to us and the implementation of our business plan could be impaired.
We have a verbal agreement with our consulting geologist that requires him to review all of the results from the exploration work performed upon our mineral claims and then make recommendations based upon those results. In addition, we have a verbal agreement with our accountants to perform requested financial accounting services and our outside auditors to perform auditing functions. We have a verbal agreement with a firm that provides us with office space, telephone answering and secretarial services. Each of these functions requires the services of persons in high demand and these persons may not always be available. The implementation of our business plan may be impaired if these parties do not perform in accordance with our verbal agreement. In addition, it may be hard to enforce a verbal agreement in the event that any of these parties fail to perform.
Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in mineral exploration business, we face a high risk of business failure.
Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The search for valuable minerals also involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. At the present time we have no coverage to insure against these hazards. The payment of suc h liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position. In addition, there is no assurance that the expenditures to be made by us in the
exploration of the mineral claims will result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts.
Because we anticipate our operating expenses will increase prior to our earning revenues, we may never achieve profitability
Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the exploration of our mineral claims and the production of minerals thereon, if any, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we may not be able to generate any operating
revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
Because access to our mineral claims may be restricted by inclement weather, we may be delayed in our exploration efforts
Access to the Chub mineral claim may be restricted through some of the year due to weather in the area. The property is in south-central British Columbia. The terrain is mostly gentle slopes with steeper pitches. Access to the property from the end of paved roads is by way approximately 10 miles of gravel logging road and branches therefrom. These roads are best traveled by four wheel drive vehicles. During the winter months heavy snowfall can make it difficult if not impossible to undertake work programs. As a result, any attempt to test or explore the property is largely limited to the times when weather permits such activities. Generally speaking, the most efficient time for us to conduct our work programs will be during May through November. These limitations can result in significant delays in exploration efforts, as well as production in the event that commercial amounts of minerals are foun d. Such delays can have a significant negative effect on our results of operations.
Because our president has only agreed to provide his services on a part-time basis, he may not be able or willing to devote a sufficient amount of time to our business operations, causing our business to fail
Mr. Young, our president and chief financial officer devotes 5 to 10 hours per week to our business affairs. If the demands of our business require the full business time of Mr. Young, he is prepared to adjust his timetables to devote more time to our business; however, Mr. Young may not be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business, as and when needed. It is possible that the demands of Mr. Young’s other interests will increase with the result that he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. Competing demands on Mr. Young’s time may lead to a divergence between his interests and the interests of other shareholders.
Because our president, Mr. Scott Young, owns 67.88% of our outstanding common stock, investors may find that corporate decisions influenced by Mr. Young are inconsistent with the best interests of other stockholders.
Mr. Young is our president, chief financial officer and sole director. He owns approximately 67.88% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, he will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. While we have no current plans with regard to any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of its assets, the interests of Mr. Young may still differ from the interests of the other stockholders. Factors which could cause the interests of Mr. Young to differ from the interest of other stockholders include his ability to devote the time required to run our mineral exploration activities.
Because our mineral claims are not registered in our name but in the name of Marvin Mitchell, our agent, there is a risk that a difficulty could arise when registering the mineral claims in our name.
In order to minimize cost and any inconvenience, we have not registered the Chub mineral claims in the name of our subsidiary which refer to as CEL with the B.C. Mineral Titles Branch. Our agent’s firm, Mitchell Geological Services Inc. is the operator of the property and is responsible for filing geological assessment reports with the B.C. Mineral Titles Branch with respect to our exploration expenditures. We have in proper form an executed Bill of Sale Absolute between Mr. Mitchell and CEL with respect to these mineral claims. In order to register these claims in the name of CEL, we must first apply at considerable cost to the B.C. Minerals Titles Branch for a Client Number. We intend to register these claims in the name of CEL following the completion of our initial exploration program. Unforeseen disputes or difficulties could arise in transferring the mineral properties to us.
Risks Related To Legal Uncertainty
Because we will be subject to compliance with government regulation which may change, the anticipated costs of our exploration program may increase
There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral exploration or exploitation. We will be subject to the Mining Act of British Columbia as we carry out our exploration program.
We may be required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with these regulations. While our planned exploration program budgets for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program.
Because the Province of British Columbia owns the land covered by our mineral claims and Native land claims might affect our title to the mineral claims or to British Columbia’s title of the property, our business plan may fail.
We are unaware of any outstanding native land claims on the Chub mineral claims; however it is possible that a native land claim could be made in the future. The federal and provincial government policy is at this time is to consult with all potentially affected native bands and other stakeholders in the area of any potential commercial production. Should we encounter a situation where a native person or group claims an interest in our claims, we may unable to provide compensation to the affected party in order to continue with our exploration work, or if such an option is not available, we may have to relinquish our interest in these claims. In either case, the costs and/or losses could be greater than our financial capacity and our business would fail.
Risks Related To This Offering
If a market for our common stock does not develop, shareholders may be unable to sell their shares
A market for our common stock may never develop. We currently plan to apply for listing of our common stock on the NASD over-the-counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. However, our shares may never be traded on the bulletin board, or, if traded, a public market may not materialize. If our common stock is not traded on the bulletin board or if a public market for our common stock does not develop, investors may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment.
If the selling shareholders sell a large number of shares all at once or in blocks, the market price of our shares would most likely decline.
The selling shareholders are offering 3,216,500 shares of our common stock through this prospectus. Our common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange, but should a market develop, shares sold at a price below the current market price at which the common stock is trading will cause that market price to decline. Moreover, the offer or sale of a large number of shares at any price may cause the market price to fall. The outstanding shares of common stock covered by this prospectus represent approximately 32.11% of the common shares outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.
Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results are most likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us described in this Risk Factors section and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Use of Proceeds
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered through this prospectus by the selling shareholders.
Determination of Offering Price
The $0.50 per share offering price of our common stock was arbitrarily chosen using the last sales price of our stock from our most recent private offering of common stock. There is no relationship whatsoever between this price and our assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value.
We intend to apply to the NASD over-the-counter bulletin board for the trading of our common stock upon our becoming a reporting entity under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend to file a registration statement under the Exchange Act concurrently with the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. If our common stock becomes so traded and a market for the stock develops, the actual price of stock will be determined by prevailing market prices at the time of sale or by private transactions negotiated by the selling shareholders. The offering price would thus be determined by market factors and the independent decisions of the selling shareholders.
Dilution
The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is common stock that is currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.
Selling Shareholders
The selling shareholders named in this prospectus are offering all of the 3,216,500 shares of common stock offered through this prospectus. The shares include the following:
a. 3,210,000 shares that the selling shareholders acquired from us in an offering that was exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities
Act of 1933 and completed on June 8, 2004;
b. 6,500 shares that the selling shareholders acquired from us in an offering that was exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of
1933 and completed on July 30, 2004.
The following table provides information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock held by each of the selling shareholders as of February 9, 2005 including:
1. the number of shares owned by each prior to this offering;
2. the total number of shares that are to be offered by each;
3. the total number of shares that will be owned by each upon completion of the offering;
4. the percentage owned by each upon completion of the offering; and
5. the identity of the beneficial holder of any entity that owns the shares.
The named party beneficially owns and has sole voting and investment power over all shares or rights to the shares, unless otherwise shown in the table. The numbers in this table assume that none of the selling shareholders sells shares of common stock not being offered in this prospectus or purchases additional shares of common stock, and assumes that all shares offered are sold. The percentages are based on 10,016,500 shares of common stock outstanding on February 9, 2005.

Plan of Distribution
We will pay the entire costs of this offering on behalf of the selling shareholders. These costs are estimated to be $26,231.
The selling shareholders may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions:
1. on such public markets or exchanges as the common stock may from time to time be trading;
2. in privately negotiated transactions;
3. through the writing of options on the common stock;
4. in short sales, or;
5. in any combination of these methods of distribution.
The sales price to the public is fixed at $0.50 per share until such time as the shares of our common stock become traded on the NASD Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board or another exchange.
Although we intend to apply for trading of our common stock on the NASD Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, public trading of our common stock may never materialize. If our common stock becomes traded on the NASD Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, or another exchange, then the sales price to the public will vary according to the selling decisions of each selling shareholder and the market for our stock at the time of resale. In these circumstances, the sales price to the public may be:
1. the market price of our common stock prevailing at the time of sale;
2. a price related to such prevailing market price of our common stock, or;
3. such other price as the selling shareholders determine from time to time.
The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 144.
The selling shareholders may also sell their shares directly to market makers acting as agents in unsolicited brokerage transactions. Any broker or dealer participating in such transactions as an agent may receive a commission from the selling shareholders or from such purchaser if they act as agent for the purchaser. If applicable, the selling shareholders may distribute shares to one or more of their partners who are unaffiliated with us. Such partners may, in turn, distribute such shares as described above.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.
The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other things:
1. not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock;
2. furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required
by such broker or dealer; and;
3. not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Securities
Exchange Act.

Nevada Anti-Takeover Laws
Nevada Revised Statutes sections 78.378 to 78.379 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not state that these provisions do not apply. The statute creates a number of restrictions on the ability of a person or entity to acquire control of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules of conduct and voting restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things. The statute is limited to corporations that are organized in the state of Nevada and that have 200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of the
State of Nevada; and does business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. Because of these conditions, the statute currently does not apply to our company.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries. Nor was any such person connected with the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee.

Morgan & Company, independent chartered accountants, has audited our financial statements included in this prospectus and registration statement to the extent and for the periods set forth in their audit report. Morgan & Company has presented their report with respect to our audited
financial statements. The report of Morgan & Company is included in reliance upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.
Erik A. Ostensoe, P. Geo., consulting geologist, has provided us with a geological evaluation report on the mineral claims. We employed Mr. Ostensoe on a flat rate consulting fee and he has no interest, nor does it expect any interest in the property or securities of Chubasco Resources Corp.
Disclosure of Commission Position of Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
Our articles of incorporation provide that we will indemnify an officer, director, or former officer or director, to the full extent permitted by law. We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court's decision.
Organization within the Last Five Years
We were incorporated on April 27, 2004 under the laws of the state of Nevada. On August 2nd, 2004 we formed a wholly subsidiary known as Chub Exploration Ltd. (CEL), a British Columbia corporation. CEL was formed to conduct our exploration business within the Province of British Columbia. On September 14, 2004 our subsidiary through our agent Mr. Marvin A. Mitchell, purchased all right title and interest in fourteen mineral claims, located in the Similkameen Mining
Division of the Province of British Columbia from Mr. Thomas E. Lisle. This purchase was made through to a Property Acquisition Agreement whereby Mr. Lisle sold us the Chub mineral claims which are held in the name of our agent. Our agents’ geological services firm became the operator of the exploration program to be conducted on the claims. The Property Operating Agreement sets forth each party's rights and responsibilities relating to both the exploration and potential mining stages of the operations to be conducted on our mineral claims.
Mr. Scott Young, our president, chief financial officer, and sole director has been a promoter of our company since its inception.
Ms. Maxine Cooper, joined us as corporate secretary for the period May 17th, 2004 to June 9th, 2004 in order to assist Mr. Young in dealing with corporate organizational matters.
Description of Business
In General
We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. We own a 100% interest in fourteen mineral claims that we refer to as the Chub mineral claims. Further exploration of these mineral claims is required before a final determination
as to their viability can be made. Although there is evidence of exploratory work on the claims conducted by prior owners, reliable records of this work has not been found. Exploration since discovery in the late 1890’s or early 1900’s has included geological mapping, poorly documented geophysical surveys, short adits, trenching and diamond drilling. This work indicates that the mineral zone has a width of as much as 600 feet and a length of about 3,600 feet. Possible extensions to the north are obscured by overburden. We are uncertain as to the potential existence of a commercially viable mineral deposit existing on our mineral claims.
Our plan of operations is to carry out exploration work on these claims in order to ascertain whether they possess commercially exploitable quantities of copper, lead/zinc, and gold. We will not be able to determine whether or not our mineral claims contain a commercially exploitable mineral deposit, or reserve, until appropriate exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation based on that work concludes economic viability. Mr. Young, our president, has not visited our mineral claims.
Once we receive the results of our first exploration program, our board of directors in consultation with our consulting geologist will assess whether to proceed with further exploration. Our initial program will cost approximately $9,120 and the report of our consulting geologist should be available in April, 2005. In the event that a follow-up exploration program is undertaken, the costs are expected to be similar to the first exploration program, and the geologist’s report should be available by June 2005. A third exploration program, if undertaken, would cost approximately $38,000, with the results available in November, 2005. The existence of commercially exploitable mineral deposits in the Chub mineral claims is unknown at the present time and we will not be able to ascertain such information until we receive and evaluate the results of our exploration program.
Acquisition of the Chub mineral claims, the property acquisition agreement and the property operating agreement.
Upon our agent, Mr. Marvin A. Mitchell closing a property acquisition agreement with Mr. Thomas E. Lisle on September 14, 2004, Mr. Mitchell obtained a Bill of Sale Absolute for the 14 Chub mineral claims located in the Similkameen Mining Division of the Province of British Columbia, and registered these claims in his name. Mr. Mitchell used funds which we advanced to him to purchase the 14 Chub mineral claims. There was no written agreement with Mr. Mitchell for the advancement of funds used to acquire the 14 Chub mineral claims. Mr. Mitchell paid $1,179 to Mr. Lisle, which was his cost in staking the Chub mineral claims. We also reimbursed Mr. Mitchell approximately $111 for the costs charged by the B.C. Mineral Titles Branch for transferring the Chub mineral claims from Mr. Lisle to Mr. Mitchell. Concurrently, pursuant to our Property Operating Agreement and for additional consideration of $0.8 0 (approximately one dollar Canadian) paid to Mr. Mitchell, we received an executed Bill of Sale Absolute on September 21, 2004 in the proper from Mr. Mitchell for the Chub claims. Although we have purchased the Chub claims, we have not registered the Chub mineral claims in our name. In order to minimize cost and any inconvenience, we have not registered the Chub mineral claims in the name of CEL with the B.C. Mineral Titles Branch. We intend to register these claims in the name of CEL following the completion of our initial exploration program.
Mr. Mitchell’s company, Mitchell Geological Services Inc., is the operator of the exploration program on the claims, pursuant to the Property Operating Agreement. Mitchell Geological Services Inc. is responsible for filing geological assessment reports with the B.C. Mineral Titles Branch in respect of our exploration expenditures.
We selected these properties based upon an independent geological report which we commissioned from Eric A. Ostensoe, P. Eng. on our claims. Our consultant recommended that we launch an initial exploration program on our claims which will cost us approximately $9,120. We will pay the entire amount of the first $9,120 of mineral exploration expenses on our mineral claims prior to December 31, 2005, half of which must be expended prior to December 31, 2004. Prior to December 31, 2004, we expended at least half of the first $9,120 of mineral exploration expenses on our mineral claims. Expenditures in excess of $9,120 will require our prior approval. We will pay 85% of such approved excess costs and Mitchell Geological Services Ins. will pay 15%. Our initial exploration program was recently commenced. To date, we have advanced $5,000 to Mitchell Geological Services Inc. for services rendered as operat or of the Chub mineral claims. As operator, Mitchell Geological Services Inc. has performed the research of public exploration documents as set forth in the first phase of the initial exploration program. Due to inclement weather, Mitchell Geological Services Inc. has not been able to conduct the prospecting, mapping, and sampling or rock and soil sample assays which are required to complete the first phase of the initial exploration program. We expect that this work will be completed prior to the end of March 2005.
Prior to acquiring the Chub mineral claims, we incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary company Chub Exploration Ltd., a British Columbian corporation which we refer to as CEL. CEL was formed for the purpose of carrying out our mineral exploration program in British Columbia. Upon
forming CEL, we transferred all of our 100% ownership interest in the Chub mineral claims to CEL.
Further provisions of the Property Operating Agreement stipulate that Mitchell Geological Service Ind. is to govern the initial exploration program operations to be conducted on the Chub mineral claims. The position of Mitchell Geological Service Ind. is generally referred to as the operator within the mineral exploration industry. In the event that Mitchell Geological Services Inc. remains the operator throughout the initial exploration program, it will be entitled to receive as partial compensation for its services, a 15% undivided interest in the Chub mineral claims. Mitchell Geological Services Inc. will also be entitled to charge a fee for its services as operator equaling 7½% of the first $7,500 dollars of exploration expenditures and 5% of exploration expenditures thereafter.
Mitchell Geological Services Inc. is a privately owned, independent firm offering professional geological, exploration, and consulting services. Mitchell Geological Services has been in business for 19 years. As such, it has been engaged to provide these services for various clients located in North America, Central America and Africa. Mr. Marvin A. Mitchell, the principal of Mitchell Geological Services Inc., is a graduate of the Montana College of Mineral Science & Technology, Butte, Montana, USA, B.Sc., Geological Engineering (Mining Option). He is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia, and a member of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. He is capable of developing mineral projects, initiating exploration programs from the “grass roots” level and carrying these projects through all phases of exploration to the mini ng feasibility stage. In addition, his broad practical background and marketing experience is an asset in the supervision of the later stages of project development because we will require expertise in marketing finished mineral products or other semi-refined mineral products in the event that commercially exploitable mineral deposits exist. Currently, Mr. Mitchell is not providing us with any marketing services. Mr. Mitchell is also a free miner in British Columbia. He is qualified to write and submit reports to the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines for assessment work purposes.
Upon the completion of the initial exploration phase, we intend to request that our consulting geologist review the results of the exploration program and report back to us with his recommendations, if any, with regard to further exploration programs. To date, we completed the research of public exploration documents as set forth in the first phase of the initial exploration program. Due to inclement weather, we have not been able to conduct the prospecting, mapping, and sampling or rock and soil sample assays which are required to complete the first phase of the initial exploration program. We expect that this work will be completed prior to the end of March 2005. The report of our consulting geologist should be available in April, 2005. Provided that further exploration programs are recommended and provided that Mitchell Geological Service Inc. has remained the operator throughout the initial ph ase, the Property Operating Agreement requires that our company and a sole purpose company to be formed by our operator will enter into a formalized joint venture. In the event that Mitchell Geological Services Inc. has not remained the operator throughout the initial exploration period and has not earned the 15% undivided interest in the Chub mineral claims, provided that the recommendations of our consulting geologists favors further exploration, we intend to seek out a candidate with similar qualifications to those of Mitchell Geological Services Inc. and form a new joint venture with that organization.
The purpose of the joint venture will be to further explore the property containing the Chub mineral claims with the eventual goal of putting the property into commercial production should both a feasibility report recommending commercial production be obtained and a decision to commence commercial production be made. The feasibility report refers to a detailed written report of the results of a comprehensive study on the economic feasibility of placing the property or a portion of the property into commercial production. It is possible that results may be positive from the exploration program, but not sufficiently positive to warrant proceeding at a particular point in time. World prices for minerals may dictate not proceeding. Due to the fluctuation in the prices for minerals, it is also possible that mineral exploration ventures may not be profitable resulting in our inability to attract funding from investors to finance further exploration.
Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, both parties agree to associate and participate in a single purpose joint venture to carry out the project. Beneficial ownership of the property remains in each party’s name proportional to its respective interest. Also, subsequent to the initial exploration program costs that we will bear, future costs are to be met by each party in proportion to its interest.
Our initial joint venture interest shall be 85% and Mitchell Geological Services Inc.’s company, which we refer to as Mitchellco, will be 15%. The interest of each party may be reduced and the other party’s interest increased by an amount equal to the share of the exploration costs they were obliged to pay. If the interest of either us or Mitchellco is reduced to less than 5%, then that party will be deemed to have assigned their interest to the other party, and their sole remuneration and benefit from the joint venture agreement will be a Royalty equal to 2½% of net profits. The respective interest of each party could be increased or decreased form time to time if any or all of the following events occur: (1) a party fails to pay its proportionate share of the costs; (2) a party elects not to participate in the program, and/or; (3) a party elects to pay less than its proportionate share of the costs for a program. If these terms operate to cause a party’ interest in the Chub mineral claims to be reduced to 5% or less, that party will assign and convey its interest to the other party and will receive a royalty equal to 5 % of the net profits of production.
The property operating agreement provides that Mitchell Geological Services Inc., as the initial operator, will have the same rights, duties, and responsibilities as it would have were it the operator pursuant to the proposed joint venture agreement.
The operator has the full right, power and authority to do everything necessary or desirable to carry out a program and the project and to determine the manner of exploration of the property. A management committee consisting of one representative of each party will oversee the operator and manage or supervise the management of the business and affairs of the joint venture. Each representative may cast that number of votes that is equal to that party’s interest. A simple majority of the management committee prevails and the management committee’s decisions made in accordance with the joint venture agreement are binding on all parties. The proposed joint venture agreement contemplates that the agreement will stay in effect for so long as any part of the property or project is held in accordance with the agreement, unless earlier terminated by agreement of all parties.
Description and Location of the Chub mineral claims

The claims are approximately 500 yards square each and cover a total of about 363 acres or about 0.60 square miles. Exploration work to the extent of $70.00 per unit will be required prior to the expiry date of August 28, 2005, or equivalent cash paid in lieu of work. It is our intention to continue exploration work and expend the necessary amount to maintain our claims in good standing. Precise claim surveying by Global Positioning Satellite Survey instrument may be filed for 1 year of work per unit.
It is our intention to apply all funds expended on our Chub mineral claims as assessment work on all 14 claims. In the event that all $9,120 of our first stage exploration program funds are expended prior to August 28, 2005, that amount of expenditure will hold the claims in good standing for approximately seven years. As of October 31, 2004, we expended $2,358 in exploration costs. As of October 31, 2004, we expended an amount sufficient to hold the claims in good standing for at least two more years.
Mr. Thomas E. Lisle staked the Chub mineral claims in August 2004. Staking a claim involves physically marking the boundaries of the mineral claim area on the ground and is the first step in acquiring title to the claim. Once the property is staked, title to the property can be recorded with the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines. Upon our purchase of the Chub mineral claims by our agent Mr. Marvin Mitchell, Mr. Lisle delivered Mr. Mitchell a bill of sale for the claims in a form prescribed by the Ministry of Energy and Mines which allowed Mr. Mitchell to register the claims in his own name. We subsequently received from Mr. Mitchell a bill of sale in the prescribed form which will allow us at any time to register the claims in our name at any time of our choosing. For convenience in recording exploration work done on the property and in filing assessment reports with the Ministry of En ergy and Mines, we have decided to keep the claims registered in Mr. Mitchell’s name for the initial exploration period. Upon the formation of the joint venture, we intend to register each party’s interest in the claims according to its joint venture interest.
The Province of British Columbia owns the land covered by the mineral claims. Currently, we are not aware of any native land claims that might affect our title to the mineral claims or to British Columbia’s title of the property. Although we are unaware of any situation that would threaten our claims, it is possible that a native land claim could be made in the future. The federal and provincial government policy at this time is to consult with all potentially affected native bands and other stakeholders in the area of any potential commercial production. If we should encounter a situation where a native person or group claims and interest in our claims, we may choose to provide compensation to the affected party in order to continue with our exploration work, or if such an option is not available, we may have to relinquish our interest in these claims.
Prior to the expiry dates listed above, we plan to file for an extension of our mineral claims. In order to extend the expiry dates of a mineral claim, the government requires either (1) completion of exploration work on the mineral claims valued at an amount stipulated by the government and the payment of a filing fee; or (2) payment to the Province of British Columbia in lieu of completing exploration work to maintain the mineral claims. Currently, an exploration work value of approximately $70 is required during each of the first three years after a claim is staked and an exploration work value of approximately $140 is required in subsequent years. Accordingly, exploration work on the Chub mineral claims must be completed and filed with the Province in the amount of approximately $980 by August 28, 2005 or this amount must be paid to the Province of British Columbia by August 28, 2005. As of Oc tober 31, 2004, we expended $2,358 in exploration costs. As of October 31, 2004, we expended an amount sufficient to hold the claims in good standing for at least two more years. A maximum of ten years of work credit may be filed on a claim. If the required exploration work expenditure is not completed and filed with the Province in any year or if a payment is not made to the Province of British Columbia in lieu of the required work within this year, the mineral claims will lapse and title with revert to the Province of British Columbia.
Due to the amount of funds we have expended towards the completion of our initial stage exploration program, we expect to fulfill all of these requirements for a period of several years.
Geological Exploration Program in General
We have obtained an independent Geological Report and have acquired the Chub mineral claims. We have engaged Erik A. Ostensoe, P. Eng., who has prepared this Geological Report and reviewed all available exploration data completed on the mineral claims.
Mr. Erik A. Ostensoe is a graduate of the University of British Columbia where he obtained a B.Sc. Degree in Honors Geology in 1960 and subsequently has completed course requirements for a Master of Science at Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario. He is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia. He has practiced his profession continuously for more than 40 years. He has worked in the Similkameen Mining district or south-central British Columbia at intervals during the past twelve years and is familiar with the geology and mineral deposits of that area.
The property that is the subject of our mineral claims is undeveloped and does not contain any open-pit or underground mines. There is no commercial production plant or equipment located on the property that is the subject of the mineral claim. Currently, there is no power supply to the mineral claims.
To date, we completed the research of public exploration documents as set forth in the first phase of the initial exploration program. Due to inclement weather, we have not commenced the field work phase of our initial exploration program. Exploration is currently in the preliminary stages. Our exploration program is exploratory in nature and there is no assurance that mineral reserves will be found. The details of the Geological Report are provided below.
Chub Mineral Claims Geological Report, Dated September 4, 2004.
A primary purpose of the geological report is to review information, if any, from the previous exploration of the mineral claims and to recommend exploration procedures to establish the feasibility of commercial production project on the mineral claims. The summary report listed results of the history of the exploration of the mineral claims, the regional and local geology of the mineral claims and the mineralization and the geological formations identified as a result of the prior exploration. The summary report also gave conclusions regarding potential mineralization of the mineral claims and recommended a further geological exploration program.
Exploration History of the Chub Mineral Claims
The history of the exploration of the mineral claims is summarized in the report that we obtained from our geological consultant; Erik A. Ostensoe, P. Eng. The following summary of the exploration history of the mineral claims is based on our consultant’s description.
The Chub mineral claims are located in an area where commercial production activity goes back to about 1860. Many copper, gold and lead/zinc prospects on or near the Chub mineral claims have been explored variously by prospecting, trenching and diamond drilling methods. Surface trenching and short underground workings remain from work performed in the 1920s and 1930s.
Mineral claims formerly covered all of the Chub mineral claims area but have lapsed in recent years. A multi element mineralized zone known as the cousin jack mineral zone has been identified and is known to extend into the Chub claims and the two rainbow claims which the Chub claims partially surround.
The British Columbia Minister of Mines Reports and assessment work files contain much information concerning the general Similkameen Mining District. At least two campaigns of diamond drilling have been undertaken to investigate the cousin jack mineral zone located on or near the Chub mineral claims: by Gold River Mines Ltd. in 1972 and by Abermin Corporation in the 1980s. It is believed that geophysical and geochemical surveys were also complete.
Enticing mineralization figures have been reported from time to time in the exploration media, but these reports in the absence of adequate documentation are deemed unreliable.
The first phase of our initial exploration program will entail the expenditure of approximately $900 on document research of existing ministry of mines reports and assessment work files.
Geology of the Chub Mineral Claims
The Chub claims partially enclose two claims not owned by us known as the rainbow claims. All of these claims cover part of a zone of intense alteration in the underlying rock known as the cousin jack mineralized zone. These alterations have occurred over millions of years and are caused mineral laden hot water from deep within the earth’s surface percolating up towards the surface through cracks and fissures in the local rock. As these waters cool near the surface, the minerals tend to be deposited.
The cousin jack zone follows the direction of major regional fault zones. The zone is characteristically composed of grey-appearing type of water borne deposit. Sufficient exploration has not been conducted to determine if this deposit contains mineralization in sufficient concentration or quantity to be economically mineable.
Exploration since discovery in the late 1890s or early 1900s has included the mapping of surface or near surface geological structures called surface mapping. There have also been poorly documented geophysical surveys conducted. These are surveys usually conducted from the surface employing scientific techniques intended to indicate the characteristics of sub-surface geological structures. In addition a number of short underground workings and surface trenching has been undertaken. Diamond drilling programs have also been undertaken. Using this technique, geologists and engineers are able to recover a core from the drill for purposes of determining geological structure and assaying for actual mineralization.
Work to date indicates that the cousin jack zone has width of as much as 600 feet and a length of approximately 3,600 feet. It is possible that the length of the deposit is greater because the northern end of the deposit is covered by overburden deposited during the last ice age.
Exploration Potential
Our consulting geologist concluded that the Chub mineral claims exhibit an environment favorable to the discovery of economic deposits of copper, zinc and gold mineralization where broad zones of intense alteration and metallic mineralization has been explored by trenching, small underground workings and diamond drilling. The copper zones nearby to the cousin jack zone have received relatively little exploration and apparently none in recent times.
Our geological consultant further concludes that the identified mineral zones have characteristics of some of the world’s important commercial production districts and warrant further investigations.
Recommendations
Our geological consultant recommends an exploration program on the Chub mineral claims to test for the presence of large body type mineral deposits. The initial stage of this program will be to
conduct a research of public records to assist in determining the outcomes of exploration programs conducted by others in past years. Our consultant further recommended a program of prospecting, mapping, and sampling. In addition, prior to diamond drilling of defined targets, additional geological or geochemical surveys may be necessary, provided we receive successful results from these surveys.
Exploration Budget
Our geological consultants have proposed a budget for the initial phase of exploration on the Chub mineral claims, consisting of a mapping and sampling program, as follows:
Research of public exploration documents $1,140
Prospecting, mapping, and sampling $7,144
Rock and soil sample assays $836
Total $9,120
=====
We are proceeding with the initial exploratory work as recommended. To date, we completed the research of public exploration documents as set forth in the first phase of the initial exploration program. Due to inclement weather, we have not commenced the field work phase of our initial exploration program. Upon completion and our review of the results of this phase we will assess whether the results are sufficiently positive to warrant additional phases of an exploration program. We will make this decision to proceed with further programs based upon our consulting geologists firm’s review of the results and recommendations. We will also assess whether our current financial position will allow for such additional phases or if we will need to raise additional capital in order to conduct any further work on the property. This assessment will include an assessment of the price of minerals and the market for financing of mineral exploration projects at the time of our assessment. The assessment will be conducted by our geological consulting firm. The cost is expected to be approximately $250.
Competition
The mineral exploration industry, in general, is intensively competitive and even if commercial quantities of reserves are discovered, a ready market may not exist for the sale of the reserves. Numerous factors beyond our control may affect the marketability of any substances discovered. These factors include market fluctuations, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result our not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.
Compliance with Government Regulation
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in the Province of British Columbia. In addition, if we progress to the production phase, production of minerals in the Province of British
Columbia will require prior approval of applicable governmental regulatory agencies. We cannot be certain that such approvals will be obtained. The cost and delay involved in attempting to obtain such approvals cannot be known in advance.
The main agency that governs the exploration of minerals in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, is the Ministry of Energy and Mines.
The Ministry of Energy and Mines manages the development of British Columbia's mineral resources, and implements policies and programs respecting their development while protecting the environment. In addition, the Ministry regulates and inspects the exploration and mineral production industries in British Columbia to protect workers, the public and the environment.
The material legislation applicable to Chubasco and CEL is the Mineral Tenure Act, administered by the Mineral Titles Branch of the Ministry of Energy and Mines. The initial phase of our exploration program will consist hand trenching, sampling, mapping, and possibly a segment of an electronic based geological exploration technique referred to as Induced Polarization. The practice in British Columbia under this act has been to request permission for such a program in a letter to the B.C. Ministry of Energy and Mines. Permission is usually granted within one week. Should a follow-up exploration program be undertaken, it would probably be intended to refine information garnered in the first phase employing the same methods of exploration.
In addition, the B.C. Ministry of Energy and Mines administers the Mines Act, the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code and the Mineral Exploration Code. Ongoing exploration programs likely will be expanded to include activities such as line cutting, machine trenching and drilling. In such circumstance, a reclamation deposit is usually required in the amount of $3,000 to $5,000. The process of requesting permission and posting the deposit usually takes about 2 weeks. The deposit is refundable upon a Ministry of Energy and Mines inspector’s determination that the exploration program has resulted in no appreciable disturbance to the environment.
The Mineral Tenure Act and its regulations govern the procedures involved in the location, recording and maintenance of mineral and placer titles in British Columbia. The Mineral Tenure Act also governs the issuance of mining leases, which are long term entitlements to minerals, designed as production tenures. At this phase in the process, a baseline environmental study would have to be produced. Such a study could take many months and cost in excess of $100,000.
All mineral exploration activities carried out on a mineral claim or mining lease in British Columbia must be in compliance with the Mines Act. The Mines Act applies to all mines during exploration, development, construction, production, closure, reclamation and abandonment. Additionally, the provisions of the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code for mines in British Columbia contain standards for employment, occupational health and safety, accident investigation, work place conditions, protective equipment, training programs, and site supervision. Also, the Mineral Exploration Code contains standards for exploration activities including construction and maintenance, site preparation, drilling, trenching and work in and about a water body.
Additional approvals and authorizations may be required from other government agencies, depending upon the nature and scope of the proposed exploration program. If the exploration activities require the falling of timber, then either a free use permit or a license to cut must be issued by the Ministry of Forests. Items such as waste approvals may be required from the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks if the proposed exploration activities are significantly large enough to warrant them.
We will also have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation for all exploration work undertaken. Both reclamation and environmental remediation refer to putting disturbed ground back as close to its original state as possible. Other potential pollution or damage must be cleaned-up and renewed along standard guidelines outlined in the usual permits. Reclamation is the process of bringing the land back to its natural state after completion of exploration activities. Environmental remediation refers to the physical activity of taking steps to remediate, or remedy any environmental damage caused such as refilling trenches after sampling or cleaning up fuel spills. Our initial exploration program does not require any reclamation or remediation because of minimal disturbance to the ground. The amount of these costs is not known at this time because we do not know the extent of the exploration program we will undertake, beyond completion of the recommended exploration phase described above, or if we will enter into
production on the property. Because there is presently no information on the size, tenor, or quality of any resource or reserve at this time, it is impossible to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on our earnings or competitive position in the event a potentially-economic deposit is discovered.
Employees
We have no employees as of the date of this prospectus other than our president and CEO, Mr. Young. We conduct our business largely through agreements with consultants and other independent third party vendors.
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not incurred any research or development expenditures since our incorporation.
Subsidiaries
We have formed a wholly owned subsidiary Chub Exploration Ltd.., a British Columbia corporation which we refer to as CEL. It was formed for the purpose of conducting our mineral exploration program on our behalf. We have transferred our 100% interest in the Chub mineral claims and in the exploration program to CEL.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark.
Plan of Operations
Our business plan is to proceed with the exploration of the Chub mineral claims to determine whether there are commercially exploitable reserves of copper, lead/zinc, gold or other metals. We have embarked upon the initial phase of the exploration program recommended by our firm of consulting geologists. The initial phase of the recommended geological exploration program will cost approximately $9,120. We have formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Chub Exploration Ltd., a British Columbia corporation, which we refer to as CEL. It was formed for the purpose of conducting our mineral exploration program on our behalf. We have transferred our 100% interest in the Chub mineral claims and in the exploration program to CEL. We had $78,489 in working capital as of October 31, 2004. Accordingly, we are able to proceed through the initial stage of the exploration program without additional financing. The progr am will be overseen in the field by Mr. Erik Ostensoe, our consulting geologist.
We acquired a 100% undivided interest in the Chub mineral claims on September 14, 2004 and proceeded with the initial exploration program as recommended by our consulting geologist. Our interest in the claims will be reduced to 85% should our operator remain the operator for the duration of our initial exploration period.
We have sufficient cash reserves to proceed with the initial phase of our exploration program. The anticipated cost of the initial phase of the exploration program was $9,120. We have commenced the initial phase of the exploration program and completed only the research of public exploration documents. Due to inclement weather, we have not commenced the field work phase of our initial exploration program. We expect that this work will be completed prior to the end of March 2005. The report of our consulting geologist is expected to be available by April, 2005. To date, we have advanced $5,000 to our operator in respect of his services in conducting our mineral exploration program on the Chub mineral claims. Once we receive these results of our initial exploration program, our board of directors, in consultation with our consulting geologist, Mr. Erik A. Ostensoe, will assess whether to proceed wit h any further exploration. In making this determination to proceed with a further exploration program, we will make an assessment as to whether the results of the initial exploration phase are sufficiently positive to enable us to proceed. This assessment will include an evaluation of our cash reserves after the completion of the initial exploration phase, the price of minerals and the market for financing of mineral exploration projects at the time of our assessment.
In the event the results of our initial exploration program prove not to be sufficiently positive to proceed with a further exploration on the Chub mineral claims, we intend to seek out and acquire other North American mineral exploration properties which, in the opinion of our consulting geologist, offer attractive mineral exploration opportunities. Presently, we have not given any consideration to the acquisition of other exploration properties because we have only recently commenced our initial exploration program and have not received any results.
Should a follow-up exploration program be undertaken, it would likely commence in April, 2005 and we would expect our consulting geologists’ report by mid-June, 2005. The second phase of the exploration program would entail exploration work similar to the exploration work in the initial phase. The second phase will involve a continuation of the initial phase word and will be focused
on specific targets that have been identified. For this reason, the cost and scope of this second exploration program would likely be similar to the initial program. As a result, the second phase of the exploration program could be undertaken without the need for us to raise additional funding.
A third exploration program, if undertaken, would likely commence in the late summer or early fall of 2005, and would likely include preparation of grid of closely spaced lines to enable completion of detailed surveys, including geophysical surveys and further sampling. We would expect the results of this program to be available in November 2005. It is anticipated that a third phase of exploration is likely to include preparation of a grid of closely spaced lines to enable completion of detailed surveys, including magetomer surveys, further soil geochemical sampling and possibly induced polarization surveys. The objective of that stage of work is to identify areas that have a strong likelihood of hosting mineral deposits that can be explored using diamond drilling methods. The cost would be approximately $38,000.
The following are estimated costs of each aspect of the third phase of the exploration program:
6 miles of slashed, flagged and picketed grid lines | $4,000 |
6 miles of magnetometer survey using proton magnetometer, readings at 75 yard spacing | $3,200 |
Instrument rental re magnetometer survey | $ 320 |
Labor cost of 6 miles of induced polarization/resistivity survey | $6,200 |
Allowance for geophysical consulting services in supervising, interpreting and reporting geophysical survey data | $3,200 |
Geochemical soil survey of grid with sample spacing 75 meters Labor cost of 400 soil samples | $3,200 |
consumables, soil bags, tools | $ 160 |
analytical costs - 400 samples | $5,500 |
Additional costs - vehicle rentals and expenses, living costs for crew | $3,200 |
Allowance for project supervision and reporting results to management | $5,600 |
Probable cost of Phase 3 field work | $34,580 |
Contingency allowance for unforeseen expenditures @ 10% | $ 3,458 |
Total cost | $38,038 ====== |
In the event we determined to conduct this third exploration program, we will need to raise the entire amount of the exploration program along with additional funds to meet ongoing working capital needs.
Upon the completion of this first exploration program, or any additional programs, which are successful in identifying mineral deposits, will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we know that we have a mineral reserve. A mineral reserve is a commercially viable mineral deposit.
During this exploration stage Mr. Young, our President, will only be devoting approximately five hours per week of his time to our business. We do not foresee this limited involvement as
negatively impacting our company over the next twelve months as all exploratory work is being performed by outside consultants. If, however, the demands of our business require more business time of Mr. Young such as raising additional capital or addressing unforeseen issues with regard to our exploration efforts, he is prepared to adjust his timetable to devote more time to our business. However, he may not be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business, as and when needed.
In the event that we require additional funding, we anticipate that such funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund additional phases of the exploration program, should we decide to proceed. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding any further phases in our
exploration program. The risky nature of this enterprise and lack of tangible assets places debt financing beyond the credit-worthiness required by most banks or typical investors of corporate debt until such time as an economically viable mine can be demonstrated. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next twelve months:
1. $9,120 in connection with the completion of the initial phase of our recommended geological work program.
2. $9,120 in connection with the completion of the second phase of our recommended geological work program.
3. $38,000 in connection with the completion of the third phase of our recommended geological work program.
4. $44,000 for operating expenses. Of this amount we plan to spend approximately $25,000 on general, legal, accounting and administrative expenses associated with our becoming a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and approximately $19,000 relating to working capital. Of the expenditures expected to be made from working capital, we have allocated $15,600 to office services to be provided by Pendrell Management Corp. and $1,140 for geological consulting services
We had working capital in the amount of $78,489 as of October 31, 2004. Our total expenditures over the next twelve months are anticipated to be approximately $100,240. In the event we determined to conduct this third exploration program, we will need to raise the entire amount of the exploration program along with additional funds to meet ongoing working capital needs. We have not taken any specific steps nor have any specific plans to raise additional capital at the present time.
We do not have plans to purchase any significant equipment or change the number of our employees during the next twelve months. Accordingly, after the next twelve months, we will need to obtain additional financing for any new significant operational or exploratory expenses.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of October 31, 2004, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Results of Operations for Period Ending October 31, 2004
We did not earn any revenues from inception through the period ending October 31, 2004. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production of our mineral properties. We are presently in the 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 resources are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of our mineral properties.
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $13,444 from our inception on April 27, 2004 until our first year ended on July 31, 2004. These operating expenses included professional fees in connection with our corporate organization and a commission paid in connection with a number of subscriptions by Canadian residents for the purchase of our stock. We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $11,865 for the three month period ended October 31, 2004. These operating expenses included professional fees in the amount of $6,030, exploration costs in the amount of $2,358, and office and administration expenses in the amount of $3,406. The professional fees incurred for the three month period ended October 31, 2004 primarily consisted of legal fees. We anticipate our operating expenses will increase as we undertake our plan of operations. The increase will be attributable to undertaking the add itional phases of our geological exploration program and the professional fees that we will incur in connection with the filing of a registration statement with the Securities Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933. We anticipate our ongoing operating expenses will also increase once we become a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had cash of $102,496 and working capital of $90,354 as of July 31, 2004, our first fiscal yearend. We had cash of $86,058 and working capital of $78,489 as of October 31, 2004.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Description of Property
We own through our subsidiary company, CEL, a 100% interest in the Chub mineral claims. We hold our interest subject to the likelihood of being reduced to an 85% joint venture interest upon completion of our initial exploration phase. We do not own or lease any property other than our interest in the Chub mineral claims.
The mineral claims are located on the east flank of Boulder Mountain (Elliot Creek drainage) in the Similkameen Mining Division (Tulameen mining camp) in south-central British Columbia, at an
elevation of 3,600 to 4,100 feet.. The village of Tulameen is approximately 5 miles southeast of the mineral claims and Princeton, B.C lies 30 miles to the south.
Access to the Chub mineral claims is via paved road past the town of Tulameen and Otter Lake to Elliott Creek forestry road, and thereafter 4 ½ miles to the South Branch road. The claims can be approached by forestry roads that branch from the Boulder Mountain main line logging road. The claims are located between 1.2 to 2.5 miles south through logged timber blocks. About on half of the claims are best accessed by foot while the balance are best accessed by four wheel drive equipped vehicles.
Electrical power transmission lines are within about 5 miles of the property.
We currently rent office space from Pendrell Management Corp., and they provide us with telephone answering, secretarial and mail services for $1,300 per month. The arrangement is from month to month with no formal written agreement.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
None of the following parties has, since our date of incorporation, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with us or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect us:
- Any of our directors or officers;
- Any person proposed as a nominee for election as a director;
- Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to our outstanding shares of common
stock;
- Any of our promoters;
- Any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons who has the same house address as such person.
Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
No Public Market for Common Stock. There is presently no public market for our common stock. We anticipate making an application for trading of our common stock on the NASD over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We can provide no assurance that our shares will be traded on the bulletin board, or if traded, that a public market will materialize.
The Securities Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;(b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of he rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;(d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;(e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and;(f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type, size and format, as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;(b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;(c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock if it becomes subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, if our common stock becomes subject to the penny stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
Holders of Our Common Stock
As of the date of this registration statement, we had fifty one (51) holders of record of our common stock.
Rule 144 Shares
A total of 6,800,000 shares of our common stock will be available for resale to the public after May 14 2005, in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned shares of a company's common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
1. one percent of the number of shares of the company's common stock then outstanding, which, in our case, will equal approximately 100,165 shares as of the date of this prospectus, or;
2. the average weekly trading volume of the company's common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on form 144 with respect to the sale.
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the company.
Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not one of the company's affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least
two years, is entitled to sell shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.
As of the date of this prospectus, persons who are our affiliates hold 100% of the total shares that may be sold, at least partially, pursuant to Rule 144 after May 14, 2005.
Stock Option Grants
To date, we have not granted any stock options.
Registration Rights
We have not granted registration rights to the selling shareholders or to any other persons.
We are paying the expenses of the offering because we seek to: (i) become a reporting company with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and (ii) enable our common stock to be traded on the NASD over-the-counter bulletin board. We plan to file a Form 8-A registration statement with the Commission prior to the effectiveness of the Form SB-2 registration statement. The filing of the Form 8-A registration statement will cause us to become a reporting company with the Commission under the 1934 Act concurrently with the effectiveness of the Form SB-2 registration statement. We must be a reporting company under the 1934 Act in order that our common stock is eligible for trading on the NASD over-the-counter bulletin board. We believe that the registration of the resale of shares on behalf of existing shareholders may facilitate the development of a public market in our common stock if our common stock is approved for trading on a recognized market for the trading of securities in the United States.
We consider that the development of a public market for our common stock will make an investment in our common stock more attractive to future investors. In the near future, in order for us to continue with our mineral exploration program, we will need to raise additional capital. We believe that obtaining reporting company status under the 1934 Act and trading on the OTCBB should increase our ability to raise these additional funds from investors.
Dividends
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
1. we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business, or;
2. our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
We have not declared any dividends and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Chubasco Resources Corp.
(An exploration stage company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Chubasco Resources Corp. (an exploration stage company) as at July 31, 2004 and the related statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for the period from April 27, 2004 (date of inception) to July 31, 2004. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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 the Company as at July 31, 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period indicated in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in to Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $13,444 since inception, has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfil its exploration activities. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2004
(Stated in U.S. Dollars)
1. OPERATIONS
Organization
Chubasco Resources Corp. (“Chubasco” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S.A., on April 27, 2004. The Company’s principal executive offices are in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Company’s intended year end is July 31, 2004.
Exploration Stage Activities
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. The Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring exploration and development stage natural resource properties. The Company has not commenced business operations.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $13,444 for the period from April 27, 2004 (inception) to July 31, 2004, and has no sales. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its natural resource properties. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
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 judgement.
CHUBASCO RESOURCES CORP.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2004
(Stated in U.S. Dollars)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
a) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At July 31, 2004, the Company had no cash equivalents.
b) Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. The Company’s cash is held at a Canadian chartered bank, which has deposit insurance of $45,300 (CDN$60,000), thus limiting the amount of credit exposure.
c) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value reflected in the balance sheet for cash, accounts payable, and due to related party approximate their fair values because of the short term nature of these instruments.
d) Revenue Recognition
Gold, silver or other mineral sales will be recognized when title passes to the purchaser and delivery occurs.
e) Mineral Property Option Payments and Exploration Costs
The Company will expense all costs related to the maintenance and exploration of mineral claims in which it has secured exploration rights prior to establishment of proven and probable reserves.
f) Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. Transactions in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars as follows:
i) monetary items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;
ii) non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate;
iii) revenue and expense at the average rate in effect during the applicable accounting period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2004
(Stated in U.S. Dollars)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
f) Foreign Currency Translation (Continued)
The resulting cumulative translation adjustments have been recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and the resulting transaction gains and losses are included in the statement of operations.
g) Comprehensive Income
The Company presents comprehensive income in its statement of stockholders’ equity. Total comprehensive income includes changes in equity that are excluded from the statements of operations and are recorded directly into a separate section of stockholders’ equity on the balance sheet.
h) Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128 - “Earnings Per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. At July 31, 2004, the Company has no stock equivalents that were dilutive and included in the earnings per share computation.
i) Reclamation and Abandonment Costs
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (“SFAS 143”) - “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This Statement establishes a uniform methodology for accounting for estimated reclamation and abandonment costs whereby reclamation and closure costs including site rehabilitation will be recorded at the estimated present value of reclamation liabilities and will increase the carrying amount of the related asset. These reclamation costs will be allocated to expense over the life of the related assets and will be adjusted for changes resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of the origina l present value estimate. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on its operations or financial position.

3. DUE TO RELATED PARTY
At July 31, 2004, the Company was indebted to a director and officer in the amount of $2,647. This advance is unsecured, bears no interest and has no fixed terms of repayment.
4. COMMON STOCK
On May 14, 2004, the Company sold 6,800,000 shares of its common stock at $0.01 per share for cash.
On June 8, 2004, the Company sold 3,210,000 shares of its common stock at $0.01 per share for cash.
On July 30, 2004, the Company sold 65 units at $25.00 per unit, each unit consisting of 100 common shares of the Company.
5. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On August 2, 2004, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, known as Chub Exploration Ltd. (formerly 700507 BC Ltd.), a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada.
On September 14, 2004, Chub Exploration Ltd. entered into a property acquisition agreement with Marvin A. Mitchell and Mitchell Geological Services whereby Mitchell Geological Services is to be appointed Operator of the Chub Mineral Claims (the “Property”). The Property consists of fourteen mineral claims within the Similkameen Mining Division of British Columbia. Prior to the Completion Date (when the appointed Management Committee is satisfied that the proposed mine is ready for commercial production), Chub Exploration Ltd. must incur aggregate Exploration Expenditures of not less than $4,510 on or before December 31, 2004, and incur aggregate Exploration Expenditures of not less than $9,020 on or before December 31, 2005. If Chub Exploration Ltd.’s Exploration Expenditures exceed $9,120, those expenditures are subject to the Joint Venture Agreement. Upon Completion Date, or a s they may sooner agree, Chub Exploration Ltd. and Mitchell Geological Services will enter into the Joint Venture Agreement. Under the Joint Venture Agreement, Chub Exploration Ltd. will have 85% of the rights to the Property and Mitchell Geological Services will have 15% of the rights to the Property.

OCTOBER 31, 2004
(Stated in U.S. Dollars)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 2004 included herein have been prepared without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the July 31, 2004 audited financial statements and notes thereto.
2. OPERATIONS
a) Organization
Chubasco Resources Corp. (“Chubasco” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada, U.S.A., on April 27, 2004. The Company’s principal executive offices are in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Company’s year-end is July 31, 2004.
b) Exploration Stage Activities
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. The Company was
formed for the purpose of acquiring exploration and development stage natural resource properties. The Company has not commenced business
operations.
c) Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.
As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred a net loss of $25,319 for the period from April 27, 2004
(inception) to October 31, 2004, and has no sales. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable
operations from the development of its natural resource properties. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and
public offering of its common stock. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification
of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgement.
The consolidated financial statements have, in management’s opinion, been properly prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting policies summarized below:
a) Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chub Exploration Ltd. (a British Columbia corporation). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
b) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At October 31, 2004, the Company had no cash equivalents.
c) Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash. The Company’s cash is held at a Canadian chartered bank, which has deposit insurance of $45,300 (CDN$60,000), thus limiting the amount of credit exposure.
d) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value reflected in the balance sheet for cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and due to related party approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
e) Revenue Recognition
Gold, silver or other mineral sales will be recognized when title passes to the purchaser and delivery occurs.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
f) Mineral Property Option Payments and Exploration Costs
The Company will expense all costs related to the maintenance and exploration of mineral claims in which it has secured exploration rights prior to establishment of proven and probable reserves.
g) Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar. Transactions in foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars as follows:
i) monetary items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;
ii) non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate;
iii) revenue and expense at the average rate in effect during the applicable accounting period.
The resulting cumulative translation adjustments have been recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and the resulting transaction gains and losses are included in the statement of operations.
h) Comprehensive Income
The Company presents comprehensive income in its statement of stockholders’ equity. Total comprehensive income includes changes in equity that are excluded from the statements of operations and are recorded directly into a separate section of stockholders’ equity on the balance sheet.
i) Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128 - “Earnings Per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. At October 31, 2004, the Company has no stock equivalents that were dilutive and included in the earnings per share computation.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
j) Reclamation and Abandonment Costs
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 (“SFAS 143”) - “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs.
This Statement establishes a uniform methodology for accounting for estimated reclamation and abandonment costs whereby reclamation and closure costs including site rehabilitation will be recorded at the estimated present value of reclamation liabilities and will increase the carrying amount of the related asset. These reclamation costs will be allocated to expense over the life of the related assets and will be adjusted for changes resulting from the passage of time and revisions to either the timing or the amount of the original present value estimate. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 143 did not have a material impact on its operations or financial position.
4. COMMON STOCK
On May 14, 2004, the Company sold 6,800,000 shares of its common stock at $0.01 per share for cash.
On June 8, 2004, the Company sold 3,210,000 shares of its common stock at $0.01 per share for cash.
On July 30, 2004, the Company sold 65 units at $25.00 per unit, each unit consisting of 100 common shares of the Company.
5. COMMITMENTS
On August 2, 2004, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, known as Chub Exploration Ltd. (formerly 700507 BC Ltd.), a company incorporated in British Columbia, Canada.
On September 14, 2004, Chub Exploration Ltd. entered into a property acquisition agreement with Marvin A. Mitchell and Mitchell Geological Services whereby Mitchell Geological Services was appointed Operator of the Chub Mineral Claims (the “Property”). The Property consists of fourteen mineral claims within the Similkameen Mining Division of British Columbia. Prior to the Completion Date (when the appointed Management Committee is satisfied that the proposed mine is ready for commercial production), Chub Exploration Ltd. must incur aggregate Exploration Expenditures of not less than $4,510 on or before December 31, 2004, and incur aggregate Exploration Expenditures of not less than $9,020 on or before December 31, 2005.

Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws.
Under the governing Nevada statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's articles of incorporation. Our articles of incorporation do not contain any limiting language regarding director immunity from liability. Excepted from this immunity are:
1. a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest;
2. a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful);
3. a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and
4. willful misconduct.
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless:
1. such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law;
2. the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors;

director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.
Our bylaws provide that no advance shall be made by us to an officer of the company, except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the company in which event this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of th e company.
