Summary
Prospective investors are urged to read this prospectus in its entirety.
We intend to be in the business of mineral property exploration. To date, we have not conducted any exploration on our sole mineral property asset known as the Gab property located in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Pursuant to a Mineral Property Option Agreement dated October 28, 2004, we have the sole and exclusive right and option to acquire an 80% undivided right, title and interest in and to the claim. The owner of the Gab property and the grantor of the option is Max Braden of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
Our objective is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Gab property to assess whether it possesses economic reserves of gold. We have not yet identified any economic mineralization on the property. Our proposed exploration program is designed to search for an economic mineral deposit.
We were incorporated on August 13, 2004 under the laws of the state of Nevada. Our principal offices are located at 595 Howe Street, Suite 507, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 2T5. Our telephone number is (604) 681-6466.

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.
IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete all intended exploration of the Gab property, and therefore we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our plan of operations. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income. As well, we will not receive any funds from this registration.
Our plan of operations calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of the Gab property. While we have sufficient funds to conduct the phase one and two exploration programs on the property with an estimated budget of $5,000 and $10,000 respectively, we will require additional financing in order to determine whether the property contains economic mineralization, to exercise our option relating to the Gab property and to cover our anticipated administrative costs.
We are contractually obligated to incur at least $10,000 in exploration expenditures on the Gab property by June 1, 2005, an additional $50,000 by December 31, 2005 and an additional $100,000 by December 31, 2006 or we will lose our rights to the property.
We will also require additional financing if the costs of the exploration of the Gab property are greater than anticipated. Even after completing all proposed exploration, we will not know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit.
We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues once exploration is complete. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and may not be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market price for gold and investor acceptance of our property and general market conditions. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.
The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders. The only other anticipated alternative for the financing of further exploration would be our sale of a partial interest in the Gab property to a third party in exchange for cash or exploration expenditures, which is not presently contemplated.
BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT COMMENCED BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.
We have not yet commenced exploration on the Gab property. Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. We were incorporated on August 13, 2004 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities and the acquisition of our mineral property. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus. 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.
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 development of the Gab property and the production of minerals from the claims, 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 it is doubtful that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
BECAUSE OF THE SPECULATIVE NATURE OF EXPLORATION OF MINING PROPERTIES, THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL RISK THAT OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. The likelihood of our mineral claims containing economic mineralization or reserves is extremely remote. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. In all probability, the Gab property does not contain any reserves and funds that we spend on exploration will be lost. As well, problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our plan of operations.
WE NEED TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN IF OUR BUSINESS IS TO SUCCEED. OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR HAS RAISED DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
The independent accountant’s report to our audited financial statements for the period ended January 31, 2005 indicates that since we have incurred losses since our inception and we are dependant upon adequate financing to fulfill our exploration activities, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon our ability to generate profitable operations and obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely investors will lose all of their investment.
BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT DANGERS INVOLVED IN MINERAL EXPLORATION, THERE IS A RISK THAT WE MAY INCUR LIABILITY OR DAMAGES AS WE CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS.
The search for valuable minerals 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. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
EVEN IF WE DISCOVER COMMERCIAL RESERVES OF PRECIOUS METALS ON THE GAB PROPERTY, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMMENCE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION.
The Gab property does not contain any known bodies of mineralization. If our exploration programs are successful in establishing gold of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to place the property into commercial production. We may not be able to obtain such financing.
BECAUSE WE WILL INCUR SIGNIFICANT ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS IN BECOMING A REPORTING COMPANY AND COMPLYING WITH REPORTING OBLIGATIONS, FUNDS THAT WE WOULD NORMALLY USE FOR BUSINESS OPERATIONS WILL BE DIVERTED.
We anticipate incurring approximately $10,000 over the next 12 months in connection with the filing of our registration statement and compliance with reporting obligations. These funds will be derived from our current cash on hand and any additional funds we raise. We would otherwise use such funds for our business operations including exploration of our mineral property interest. Because these funds will be diverted from such operations, our business could be adversely impacted as a result.
IF WE BECOME SUBJECT TO BURDENSOME GOVERNMENT REGULATION OR OTHER LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED.
There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral property exploration and development. Under Canadian mining law, to engage in certain types of exploration will require work permits, the posting of bonds, and the performance of remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land. While these current laws will not affect our current exploration plans, if we proceed to commence drilling operations on the Gab property, we will incur modest regulatory compliance costs.
In addition, the legal and regulatory environment that pertains to the exploration of ore is uncertain and may change. Uncertainty and new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from exploring for ore deposits. The growth of demand for ore may also
be significantly slowed. This could delay growth in potential demand for and limit our ability to generate revenues. In addition to new laws and regulations being adopted, existing laws may be applied to mining that have not as yet been applied. These new laws may increase our cost of doing business with the result that our financial condition and operating results may be harmed.
BECAUSE OUR DIRECTORS OWN 46.5% OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, THEY COULD MAKE AND CONTROL CORPORATE DECISIONS THAT MAY BE DISADVANTAGEOUS TO OTHER MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS.
Our directors own approximately 46.5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, they 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. They will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of our directors may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders.
BECAUSE OUR PRESIDENT HAS OTHER BUSINESS INTERESTS, HE MAY NOT BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, CAUSING OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
Our president, Mr. Eugene Larabie spends approximately 20% of his business time providing his services to us. While Mr. Larabie presently possesses adequate time to attend to our interests, it is possible that the demands on him from other obligations could increase with the result that he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business.
BECAUSE WE ARE NOT UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO REGISTER YOUR STOCK FOR RESALE IN ANY PARTICULAR STATE OR FOREIGN JURISDICTION, YOU MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT COSTS IN ORDER TO QUALIFY TO SELL YOUR STOCK
In order to comply with state or foreign laws regarding the resale of our common stock in these jurisdictions, you will be responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable securities laws. We are not under any obligation to register our stock for resale in any particular state or foreign country. Accordingly, you may costs of as much as $10,000 in order to qualify to resale your stock in certain jurisdictions. You will be solely responsible for compliance with applicable securities laws in any jurisdiction in which you sell our stock.
IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DOES NOT DEVELOP, SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES.
There is currently no market for our common stock and no certainty that a market will develop. We currently plan to apply for listing of our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. Our shares may never trade on the bulletin board. If no market is ever developed for our shares, it will be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. In such a case, shareholders may find that they are unable to achieve benefits from their investment.
A PURCHASER IS PURCHASING PENNY STOCK WHICH LIMITS HIS OR HER ABILITY TO SELL THE STOCK.
The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, thus limiting investment liquidity. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in our company will be subject to rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
Please refer to the “Plan of Distribution” section for a more detailed discussion of penny stock and related broker-dealer restrictions.
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 may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us described in the “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 selling shareholders will sell our shares at $0.10 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. We determined this offering price, based upon the price of the last sale of our common stock to investors.
During October 2004, we completed three separate offerings at $0.001, $0.01 and $0.10 respectively. The purchase price for our common stock increased from $0.001 to $0.10 in mid-October due to our management’s decision to investigate and acquire a mineral property asset. The purchase price increased from $0.01 in $0.10 at the end of October reflecting our acquisition of an interest in the Gab property.
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 Securityholders
The selling securityholders named in this prospectus are offering all of the 2,300,000 shares of common stock offered through this prospectus. These shares were acquired from us in private placements that were exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. The shares include the following:
1. 1,200,000 shares of our common stock that the selling
shareholders acquired from us at a price of $0.001 per share in
an offering that was exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 and
was completed on October 4, 2004; and
2. 1,000,000 shares of our common stock that the selling
shareholders acquired from us at a price of $0.01 per share in an
offering that was exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 and
was completed on October 26, 2004; and
3. 100,000 shares of our common stock that the selling shareholders
acquired from us at a price of $0.10 per share in an offering
that was exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 and was
completed on October 29, 2004.
Each of the purchasers of shares pursuant to these Regulation S offerings were close friends or business associates known to the directors.
The following table provides as of the date of this prospectus, information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock held by each of the selling shareholders, including:

The named party beneficially owns and has sole voting and investment over all shares or rights to these shares. 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 4,300,000 shares of common stock outstanding on the date of this prospectus.
Florence Brown is the mother of Barry Brown, a director. Otherwise, none of the selling shareholders:
(1) has had a material relationship with us other than as a
shareholder at any time within the past three years; or
(2) has ever been one of our officers or directors.
None of the selling shareholders is a broker-dealer or affiliate of a broker dealer.
Plan Of Distribution
The selling shareholders may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions.
The selling shareholders will sell our shares at $0.10 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. We determined this offering price arbitrarily based upon the price of the last sale of our common stock to investors. The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 144.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. These are estimated to be $7,000. 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 and the 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 Exchange Act.
The Securities Exchange Commission has also 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 not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a
standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission,
which:
* contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the
market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary
trading;
* contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the
customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer
with respect to a violation of such duties;
* 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;
* contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on
disciplinary actions;
* defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the
conduct of trading penny stocks; and
* 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 proceeding with any transaction in a penny stock, the customer:
* with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
* details of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction;
* 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
* 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 will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
“Blue Sky” Laws
“Blue Sky” refers to state laws that regulate the offer and sale of securities, as well as registration and reporting requirements. These laws vary from state to state. Before a security may be sold in a state, there must be a registration in place to cover the transaction, or an available exemption from registration.
We have not taken any steps to ensure that the selling shareholders may resell their shares in any particular state. Each selling shareholder shall be responsible for determining whether a resale of the shares is exempt from state securities registration requirements or for any filing or disclosure requirements. Selling shareholders may also sell their shares in foreign jurisdictions provided that they comply with securities laws of the jurisdiction in question.

Two persons present and being, or representing by proxy, shareholders are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our articles of incorporation.
Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock.
Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.
Preferred Stock
We do not have an authorized class of preferred stock.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Share Purchase Warrants
We have not issued and do not have outstanding any warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.
Options
We have not issued and do not have outstanding any options to purchase shares of our common stock.
Convertible Securities

Disclosure Of Commission Position Of Indemnification For
Securities Act Liabilities
Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Bylaws. These provisions provide that we shall indemnify a director or former director against all expenses incurred by him by reason of him acting in that position. The directors may also cause us to indemnify an officer, employee or agent in the same fashion.
We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, 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 Last Five Years
We were incorporated on August 13, 2004 under the laws of the state of Nevada. On that date, Eugene N. Larabie and Barry Brown were appointed as our directors. As well, Mr. Larabie was appointed as our president, chief executive officer, secretary and treasurer.
Description Of Business
In General
We intend to commence operations as an exploration stage company. We will be engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover that demonstrate economic feasibility. We have the sole and exclusive right and option to acquire an 80% undivided right, title and interest in and to the mineral property known as the Gab claim. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the property. Further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic feasibility of the claim is determined.
Our plan of operation is to conduct exploration work on the Gab property in order to ascertain whether it possesses economic quantities of gold. There can be no assurance that economic mineral deposits or reserves exist on the Gab property until appropriate exploration work is done and an economic evaluation based on such work concludes that production of minerals from the property is economically feasible.
Even if we complete our proposed exploration programs on the Gab property and they are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit.
Mineral property exploration is typically conducted in phases. Each subsequent phase of exploration work is recommended by a geologist based on the results from the most recent phase of exploration. We have not yet commenced the initial phase of exploration on the Gab claim. Once we have completed each phase of exploration, we will make a decision as to whether or not we proceed with each successive phase based upon the analysis of the results of that program. Our directors will make this decision based upon the recommendations of the independent geologist who oversees the program and records the results, as well as our president Eugene Larabie, who is a professional engineer.
Description, Location and Access
The Gab property is located near Cross Lake, five miles south of Thistlewaite Lake and approximately 80 miles northeast of Yellowknife in the southern part of the Northwest Territories, Canada. The property is located at approximately Latitude 63°05”N and Longitude 113°30’W.
The mining claim is accessible by float plane to nearby Gordon Lake or by helicopter. An old winter road exists from Cross Lake to the old mine site of Discovery Mines. Facilities and the skilled population base at Yellowknife are readily available and will provide all the necessary services needed for property exploration.
The area inclusive of the Gab property exhibits sub arctic alder and white lodge pine intermixed with tundra bogs. Good rock exposure is found along the lake shores. Winters are cold with generally medium snowfall accumulations and summers are temperate with adequate precipitation.
Gab Claim Mineral Property Option Agreement
On October 28, 2004, we entered into an agreement with Max Braden of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, whereby he granted us the sole and exclusive right and option to acquire an 80% undivided right, title and interest in and to the Gab claim subject to certain obligations. These obligations are as follows:
• pay to Max Braden $1,000 upon execution of the agreement (paid);
• provide funding of minimum cumulative expenditures for
exploration and development work on the claim in the following
manner:
- $10,000 of expenditures to be incurred, or caused to be
incurred, by June 1, 2005; and
- No less than a further $50,000 of expenditures to be
incurred, or caused to be incurred by December 31, 2005;
and
- No less than a further $100,000 of expenditures to be
incurred, or caused to be incurred by December 31, 2006;
• pay or cause to be paid, to Max Braden, or on Braden’s behalf as
we may determine, all claim payments and assessment work required
to keep the claim and this option in good standing during the
term of the agreement.
The terms of this agreement, including the percentage of the property under option, were determined by negotiation between our directors and the owner of the property, Mr. Braden.
Title to the Gab Property
The Gab property consists of one mineral claim. This claim is registered in the name of Max Braden, the optionor of the property. The claim was created on May 28, 2003 and is in good standing until May 28, 2005. This means that we must complete at least $100 in exploration work on the claim by that date in order to extend the claim expiry date by one year, to May 28, 2006.
A “claim” refers to a specific section of land over which a title holder owns rights to explore. We have an option to purchase a 80% interest in the Gab property from the claim owner, Max Braden. He will transfer title to the claim to us if we exercise the option.
Infrastructure and Condition of the Property
The Gab claim is free of mineral workings. There is no equipment or other infrastructure facilities located on the property. There is no power source located on the property. We will need to use portable generators if we require a power source for exploration of the Gab claim.
Mineralization
The Gab property is underlain by the metasedimentary rocks of the area. Metasedimentary rocks form in layers which have been subject to some degree of change due to volcanic heat and pressure.
The most prospective exploration area of the property is a gold-bearing vein. A vein is a regularly shaped and lengthy occurrence of mineralization. Through prior exploration that is detailed in Mr. Glen Macdonald’s geological report on the Gab property, the vein has been traced along the surface rock. Rock samples from the vein have contained anomalous amounts of gold. A sample is anomalous if it contains a significantly higher amount of a mineral than is found in nearby or typical rocks.
Exploration History
Early exploration work on the Gab claim was reported in the 1940s and consisted of several drill holes. No further physical work was reported on the claim until the 1980’s. Treminco Explorations Canada Ltd. optioned the property and carried out programs of limited geological mapping during 1986. Geological mapping involves plotting previous exploration data relating to a property on a map in order to determine the best property locations to conduct subsequent exploration work.
The claim lapsed and was staked by Max Braden, its current owner, in 2003. He has not conducted any exploration on the Gab claim.
Geological Assessment Report: Gab Property
We commissioned Mr. Glen Macdonald to prepare a geological report on the Gab property. Mr. Macdonald holds bachelor degrees in economics and geology from the University of British Columbia and has practiced his profession as a geologist for over 28 years. He is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Geophysicists of Alberta and of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of the Province of British Columbia. The report summarizes the results of prior exploration and makes recommendations for further exploration.
Conclusions
In his report, Mr. Macdonald concludes that the Gab claim has the potential to host significant amounts of mineralization and that intensive exploration of the property is warranted.
Mr. Macdonald recommends a two phase exploration program to further delineate the mineralized system currently recognized on the Gab Claim.
The program would consist of air photo interpretation of the structures, geological review, both regionally and detailed on the area of the main showings followed with geological mapping and geophysical surveying using both magnetic and electromagnetic instrumentation in detail over the area of the showings and in a regional survey. Geophysical surveying is the search for mineral deposits by measuring the physical property of near-surface rocks, and looking for unusual responses caused by the presence of mineralization. Electrical, magnetic, gravitational, seismic and radioactive properties are the ones most commonly measured. Geophysical surveys are applied in situations where there is insufficient information obtainable from the property surface to allow informed opinions concerning the merit of properties.
The effort of this exploration work is to define and enable interpretation of a follow-up diamond drill program, so that the known mineralization and the whole property can be thoroughly evaluated with the most up to date exploration techniques.
This initial program is estimated to cost approximately $12,000.
Proposed Budget
Approximate costs for the recommended two phase program are as follows:
Phase One:
1. Geological and Air photo Review $ 5,000 |
------- |
Total Phase I Costs: $ 5,000 |
Phase Two: |
1. Detailed Geological Mapping $ 3,200 |
2. Geophysical Surveying $ 4,000 |
3. Assaying $ 1,000 |
4. Helicopter support (1.5 hours @ $1,000/hour) $ 1,800 |
------- |
Total Phase II Costs: $10,000 |
Grand Total Exploration Costs: $15,000 |

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 Canada generally, and in the Northwest Territories specifically.
We will have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental mediation for all exploration and development work undertaken. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration program that will be undertaken beyond completion of the currently planned work programs. 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 earnings or our competitive position in the event a potentially economic deposit is discovered.
If we enter into production, the cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater than in the exploration phases because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of any production program if the project continues to that stage because of the potential impact on the environment. Examples of regulatory requirements include:
- Water discharge will have to meet water standards; |
- Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated; |
- Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and re-vegetated; |
- An assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to be environmentally benign; |
- Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants; |
- The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be re-mediated; and |
- There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora. |
Employees
We have no employees as of the date of this prospectus other than our two directors.
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not incurred any other research or development expenditures since our incorporation.
Subsidiaries
We do not have any subsidiaries.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.
Reports to Security Holders
Although we are not required to deliver a copy of our annual report to our security holders, we will voluntarily send a copy of our annual report, including audited financial statements, to any registered shareholder who requests it. We will not be a reporting issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission until our registration statement on Form SB-2 is declared effective.
We have filed a registration statement on Form SB-2, under the Securities Act of 1933, with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the shares of our common stock offered through this prospectus. This prospectus is filed as a part of that registration statement, but does not contain all of the information contained in the registration statement and exhibits. Statements made in the registration statement are summaries of the material terms of the referenced contracts, agreements or documents of the company. We refer you to our registration statement and each exhibit attached to it for a more detailed description of matters involving the company, and the statements we have made in this prospectus are qualified in their entirety by reference to these additional materials. You may inspect the registration statement, exhibits and schedules filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Commission's principal office in Washin gton, D.C. Copies of all or any part of the registration statement may be obtained from the Public Reference Section of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the operation of the public reference rooms. The Securities and Exchange Commission also maintains a web site at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy statements and information regarding registrants that file electronically with the Commission. Our registration statement and the referenced exhibits can also be found on this site.
Plan Of Operations
Our plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this prospectus is to complete the recommended phase one and two exploration programs on the Gab property. We anticipate that the cost of these programs will be approximately $15,000. We commenced the phase one exploration program on May 5, 2005 and anticipate completing it by the end of May .. We anticipate commencing the phase two program in May 2005 and completing it within two months of commencement. We anticipate completing enough exploration on the property to comply with our obligation to spend at least $10,000 on property exploration by June 1, 2005. We have retained Glen Macdonald, a professional geologist to conduct this exploration work. The cost of his services are included in our budget for the phase one and two programs.
We will lose our entire interest in the Gab claim if we don’t complete the following minimum exploration expenditures on the property by the noted dates:
- a minimum of $10,000 in exploration work by June 1, 2005;
- an additional $50,000 of expenditures by December 31, 2005; and
- an additional $100,000 of expenditures by December 31, 2006.
In the next 12 months, we also anticipate spending an additional $50,000 on further recommended exploration, as well as an additional $10,000 on professional fees and administrative expenses, including fees payable in connection with the filing of this registration statement and complying with reporting obligations.
Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be $75,000. We have the cash on hand necessary to pay for almost all of these expenses.
We will require additional funding in order to cover all of our anticipated administrative expenses, to proceed with additional recommended exploration work on the property and to finance our operations in the first twelve months following the effectiveness of our registration statement.
We anticipate that additional funding will be required in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. We expect that any such sales will be to current stockholders or friends and business associates of our directors and officers. Our directors and officers may also lend funds to us, although we do not have any particular arrangements in this regard. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or from to fund all contemplated exploration. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
Results Of Operations For The Period From Inception Through January 31, 2005
We have not earned any revenues from our incorporation on August 13, 2004 to January 31, 2005. We do not anticipate earning revenues unless we enter into commercial production on the Gab property, which is doubtful. We have not commenced the exploration stage of our business and can provide no assurance that we will discover economic mineralization on the property, or if such minerals are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production.
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $6,240 for the period from our inception on August 13, 2004 to January 31, 2005. These operating expenses were comprised of $40 in office and sundry, $1,500 in organization costs, $3,700 in professional fees, and $1,000 in mineral property costs.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Description Of Property
We have the sole and exclusive right and option to acquire an 80% undivided right, title and interest in and to one mineral claim comprising the Gab property. We do not own or lease any property other than the Gab property.
Certain Relationships And Related Transactions
Our president, Eugene Larabie, provides office space to us free of charge on a month-to-month basis. There are no formal lease arrangements between Mr. Larabie and us. In addition, we are not committed to pay rental expense and operating costs related to the space.
Otherwise, 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;
* Our sole promoter, Eugene Larabie;
* Any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing
persons.
In order to ensure that our interests are protected in any transactions with our officers or their other business interests, our bylaws provide that each officer who holds another office or possesses property that may lead to a conflict of interest shall, in writing, disclose the fact and the nature, character and extent of the conflict and abstain from voting with respect to any resolution in which the officer has a personal interest.
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 applying for trading of our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares will be traded on the bulletin board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize.
Stockholders of Our Common Shares
As of the date of this registration statement, we have 28 registered shareholders.
Rule 144 Shares
A total of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock are available for
resale to the public after September 8, 2005 in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144 of the Act. 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. 1% of the number of shares of the company's common stock then
outstanding which, in our case, will equal 43,000 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 all of the 2,000,000 shares that may be sold pursuant to Rule 144.
Registration Rights
We have not granted registration rights to the selling shareholders or to any other persons.
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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Palomine Mining Inc.
(An exploration stage company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Palomine Mining Inc. (an exploration stage company) as at January 31, 2005 and the related statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for the period from August 13, 2004 (date of inception) to January 31, 2005. 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 January 31, 2005 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 Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $6,240 since inception, has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its exploration activities. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.
NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 13, 2004, and its intended year end is January 31, 2005. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7. The Company has acquired a mineral property located in the Northwest Territories, Canada, and has not yet determined whether this property contains reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of property expenditures will be dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying property, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property agreement and upon future profitable production or proceeds for the sale thereof.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $6,240 since inception and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. 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 classifi cation of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Because a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful judgment. Actual results may vary from these estimates.

(Stated in U.S. Dollars)
2.
SUMMARY OF 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)
Mineral Property Costs
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on August 13, 2004 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
b)
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
c)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and its reporting currency is the United States dollar. The financial statements of the Company are translated to United States dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation”. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
d)
Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company’s operations are in Canada and virtually all of its assets and liabilities are giving rise to significant exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The Company’s financial risk is the risk that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
e)
Environmental Costs
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to operations. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.
f)
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109 – “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This standard requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting on income taxes. If it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recognized.
g)
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 – “Earnings Per Share”. Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. As the Company generated net losses in the period presented, the basic and diluted loss per share is the same, as any exercise of options or warrants would be anti-dilutive.

h)
Comprehensive Loss
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at January 31, 2005, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
i)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. At January 31, 2005, the Company had no cash equivalents.
j)
New Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
3.
MINERAL PROPERTY
Pursuant to a mineral property option agreement dated October 28, 2004, the Company was granted an option to acquire a 100% undivided right, title and interest in one mineral claim unit, known as the Gab claim, located approximately 80 miles northeast of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada, for:
a)
Cash Payments
Cash payment of $1,000 upon execution of the Agreement (paid on February 28, 2005).
b)
Expenditure Commitments
Expenditures for exploration and development work on the Claim totalling at least $160,000 by December 31, 2006, which work shall be conducted by the Company under the direction of a qualified geologist or project engineer, as follows:
-
$10,000 in expenditures on the Claims by June 1, 2005;
-
an additional $50,000 in expenditures on the Claims by December 31, 2005; and
-
an additional $100,000 in expenditures on the Claims by December 31, 2006.

SHARE CAPITAL
On September 8, 2004, the Company sold 2,000,000 shares of its common stock at $0.001 per share. On October 4, 2004, the Company sold 1,200,000 shares of its common stock at $0.001 per share. On October 26, 2004, the Company sold 1,000,000 shares of its common stock at $0.01 per share. On October 29, 2004, the Company sold 100,000 shares of its common stock at $0.10 per share.
At January 31, 2005, there were no outstanding stock options or warrants.
5.
INCOME TAXES
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has incurred net operating losses of $6,240 which expire in 2025. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
The components of the net deferred tax asset at January 31, 2005, and the statutory tax rate, the effective tax rate and the elected amount of the valuation allowance are indicated below:
Net operating loss | $ | 6,240 |
Statutory tax rate | 34% | |
Effective tax rate | - | |
Deferred tax asset | $ | 2,122 |
Valuation allowance | (2,122) | |

Part II
Information Not Required In The Prospectus
Indemnification Of Directors And Officers
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”) and our bylaws.
Under the NRS, 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 that is not the case with our articles of incorporation. Excepted from that 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;
(3)
such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law; or
(4)
such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the
bylaws.
Our bylaws provide that we will advance all expenses incurred to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request. This advanced of expenses is to be made upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts should it be ultimately determined that the person was not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.
Our bylaws also provide that no advance shall be made by us to any officer 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 our best interests.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which it offers or sells
securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement to:
(a) include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;
(b) reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,
individually or together, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in this registration
statement; and notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high
end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected
in the form of prospectus filed with the commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the
volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
“Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective
registration Statement; and
(c) include any additional or changed material information on
the plan of distribution.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise,
we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling person sin connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
