PART I — INFORMATION REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
Our Business
Hemis Corporation (“Hemis, “we”) is a start up mineral exploration company. We have had no revenues as of the end of our most recent fiscal year and we have only recently begun operations.
Our principal offices are located at Neuhofstrasse 8, CH – 8600 Dübendorf, Switzerland, and we have an address for service and a telephone number in Las Vegas, Nevada. Our telephone number is (702) 387 2382. Our fiscal year end is December 31.
We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Mexico. We hold options to acquire interests in four mineral concessions on properties in Mexico, as described below:
Name of Property | Location | Nature of Interest |
Santa Rita Property | La Zacatecas, Mexico | Option to acquire a 49% interest in mining rights |
El Tigre Property | Sonora, Mexico | Option to acquire a 67.5% interest in mining rights |
Porvenir Property | Sonora, Mexico | Option to acquire a 67.5% interest in mining rights |
La Centela Property | Sonora, Mexico | Options to acquire up to a 75% interest in mining rights |
The El Tigre, Porvenir and La Centela properties are all located adjacent to each other. We intend to explore for gold and molybdenum (a mineral used in the production of steel) on the El Tigre and La Centela properties. At this time our plan of operation is to explore for gold on the Santa Rita and Porvenir properties. If we discover that any of any of our optioned properties hold potential for other minerals for which our management believe exploration is warranted, then we will we will include in our plan of operation exploration for those minerals.
In each of the agreements we have entered into to acquire mining rights, we have contracted with the owners of the mineral rights on the properties. The acquisition of these mineral rights will give us the right to exploit, mine and produce all minerals lying beneath the surface of each property.
We expended no money or other consideration to acquire the options in the mining rights for these properties.
In order to exercise our option in the mineral rights to the Santa Rita Property we must spend at least $950,000 in exploration expenses prior to June 18, 2009 and we must issue 200,000 shares of our common stock prior to June 18, 2009 as follows:
- $200,000 and 25,000 common shares by June 18, 2007 (on October 23, 2006, we issued the 25,000 shares at $0.95 per share, the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance, for a total value of $23,750);
- additional $300,000 and additional 75,000 common shares by June 18, 2008; and
- additional $450,000 and additional 100,000 common shares by June 18, 2009.
To exercise our option to acquire a 67.5% interest in the mineral rights for the El Tigre and Porvenir properties, we were required to pay at least $15,000 by January 30, 2006, which we have paid, and we must spend at least another $200,000 prior to July 2, 2007.
— 8 —
On September 7, 2006 we signed an option agreement to acquire a 75% interest in the mineral rights to the La Centela property. The agreement was amended on October 4, 2006. The option consists of two parts; an option for the first 70% and an option for a further 5%. To acquire the first 70% of the mining rights we must pay $500,000 and issue 500,000 of our common shares to the mineral rights owner, spend at least $2,000,000 in exploration expenses, all prior to October 5, 2010, and make a final share payment of 1 share for every ounce of gold we identify, if we identify any gold, to a maximum of 10,000,000 shares. If we exercise our option to acquire the first 70% of the mineral rights, we may then acquire a further 5% of the total claim by making a cash payment of $1,000,000.
To exercise the first 70% of the mining rights on the La Centela property, we must deliver the following stock and payments to the mining concession owners, and make the following exploration expenditures:
- pay $25,000 and issue 25,000 common shares by October 14, 2006 (which has already been paid and delivered, on October 10, 2006, we issued the 25,000 common shares at $0.95 per share, the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance, for a total value of $23,750);
- by October 5, 2007, pay an additional $50,000, issue 50,000 more common shares and spend $200,000 on exploration expenses;
- by October 5, 2008, pay an additional $75,000, issue 75,000 more common shares and spend $200,000 on additional exploration expenses;
- by October 5, 2009, pay an additional $100,000, issue 100,000 more common shares and spend an additional $200,000 on exploration expenses;
- by October 5, 2010, pay an additional $250,000, issue 250,000 more common shares and spend an additional $1,400,000 on exploration expenses;
- issuance of one common shares for every once of gold we estimate that we have identified, up to a maximum of 10,000,000 shares, if we can identify any gold at the time of making our final payments to exercise the option.
Our plan of operations is to carry out exploration of our mineral properties. Our specific exploration plan for each of our mineral properties, together with information regarding the location and access, history of operations, present condition and geology of each of our properties, is presented in this prospectus under the heading “Description of Properties.” All of our exploration programs are preliminary in nature in that their completion will not result in a determination that any of our properties contains commercially exploitable quantities of mineralization.
We are an exploration stage company. All of our projects are at the exploration stage and there is no assurance that any of our mining claims contain a commercially viable ore body. We plan to undertake further exploration of our properties. We anticipate that we will require additional financing in order to pursue full exploration of these claims. We do not have sufficient financing to undertake full exploration of our mineral claims at present and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary financing.
There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our mineral properties. Further exploration beyond the scope of our planned exploration activities will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of mining of any of our properties is determined. There is no assurance that further exploration will result in a final evaluation that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our mineral properties.
We have no revenues, have achieved losses since inception, have been issued a going concern opinion by our auditors and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund operations. We will not generate revenues even if our exploration program indicates that a mineral deposit may exist on our mineral claims. Accordingly, we will be dependent on future additional financing in order to maintain our operations and continue our exploration activities.
The Offering
The 6,954,517 common shares represent approximately 34% of our issued and outstanding stock. Both before and after the offering, our current directors and officers will control Hemis. Before the offering, Bruno Weiss, our Chief Financial Officer, owns or has the rights to acquire a total of 6,837,000 shares, which would be 27% of our issued and outstanding stock. After the offering, if he sells all 1,000,000 shares he is registering in this prospectus, he will have 5,837,000 shares, which would be approximately 23% of our issued and outstanding stock. Before the offering, Norman Meier, our Chief Executive Officer, owns or has the rights to acquire a total of 12,975,000 shares, which would be approximately 51% of our issued and outstanding stock. After the offering, if he sells all 3,000,000 shares he is registering in this prospectus, he will have 9,975,000 shares, which would be approximately 39% of our issued and outstanding stock.
Securities Offered: | Up to 6,954,517 common shares offered by the selling shareholders. |
— 9 —
Initial Offering Price: | The $1.00 per share initial offering price of our common stock was arbitrarily determined by our Board of Directors, based on several factors including our capital structure and the background of our management. After the initial offering price, the offering price will be determined by market factors and the independent decisions of the selling shareholders. |

Minimum Number of Shares to be Sold in this Offering: | None |
| |
| |
Securities Issued and to be Issued: | 20,310,223 shares of common stock are issued and outstanding as of December 6, 2006. All of the common stock to be sold under this Prospectus will be sold by existing shareholders. There is no established market for the common stock being registered. We have applied to the NASD’s Over the Counter Bulletin Board for the trading of our common stock. A market maker, Spartan Securities, has made an application on our behalf. If our common stock becomes listed and a market for the stock develops, the actual price of the shares will be determined by prevailing market prices at the time of the sale. Trading of securities on the NASD’s Over the Counter Bulletin Board is often sporadic and investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations, which may have a depressive effect on the market price for our common stock. |
| |
Use of Proceeds: | We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling shareholders. |
The above information regarding common stock to be outstanding after the offering is based on 20,310,223 shares of common stock outstanding as of December 6, 2006.
Financial Condition
Since inception, we have reported significant losses. We have incurred losses since inception resulting in a net accumulated deficit of $4,484,146 at September 30, 2006. Our auditors stated that these factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We will need additional working capital to continue or to be successful in any future business activities. Therefore, our continuation as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining the additional working capital necessary to accomplish its objective. We plan to seek debt or equity financing, or a combination of both, to raise the necessary working capital. As of September 30, 2006, we had approximately $1,223,000 in our bank accounts. We expect to require approximately an additional $607,000 in financing to continue our planned operations for the next year to cover the following expenses:
— 10 —
Description of Expense | Amount |
Exploration of Santa Rita Property | $ 300,000 |
Exploration of El Tigre Property | $ 500,000 |
Exploration of Porvenir Property | $ 50,000 |
Exploration of La Centela Property | $ 230,000 |
Payment towards acquisition of La Centela mining rights | $ 50,000 |
Obtaining interests in other mining rights | $ 200,000 |
General and Administrative Expenses | $ 500,000 |
Total | $1,830,000 |
The above amounts include the amounts we need to spend to maintain all of our options to acquire interests in properties. In order to maintain these options we must spend the following amounts over the next three calendar years:
Property | Year | Amount We Must Spend |
Santa Rita | 2006 | Nil (1) |
| 2007 | $200,000 |
| 2008 | $300,000 |
El Tigre and Porvenir | 2006 | $15,000 (2) |
| 2007 | $200,000 (3) |
La Centela | 2006 | $ 25,000 (2) |
| 2007 | $ 250,000 |
| 2008 | $ 275,000 |
| 2009 | $ 300,000 |
(1) We must spend at least $200,000 in exploration expenses by June 18, 2007 to maintain our option to acquire an interest in the Santa Rita property.
(2) We have already paid this amount.
(3) If we spend $200,000 by July 2, 2007, we will have exercised the option.
We have satisfied the obligations to maintain our options for this calendar year.

Risk Factors
Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock. Throughout this Prospectus and Registration Statement, when we state "we", "us", "our”, the “Company” or "Hemis" we are referring to Hemis Corporation.
Any investment in our common stock is speculative. You should carefully consider the risks described below and all of the information contained in this Prospectus before deciding whether to purchase our common stock. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.
Risks Related to Our Operating Results
1. If we do not obtain additional financing, our business plan will fail, which could prevent us from becoming profitable.
As of September 30, 2006, we had cash on hand of approximately $1,223,000. Our business plan calls for us to spend approximately $1,830,000 during the twelve months beginning September 1, 2006, which includes amounts we need to spend to maintain all of our options to acquire mining interests, as well as additional amounts we plan to spend in exploring the four properties in which we have options, expenses to acquire interests in other mineral properties and all of our general and administrative expenses. Based on our cash position as of September 30, 2006, we will require additional financing in the approximate amount of $607,000 in order to complete our plan of operations for the next twelve months. We are currently attempting to raise capital through the issuances of shares to non US residents. We may not be able to obtain all of the financing we require. Our ability to obtain additional financing is subject to a number of factors, including the market price of gold, market conditions, investor acceptance of our business plan, and investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of additional financing unattractive or unavailable to us. If we are unable to raise additional financing, we will have to significantly reduce our spending, delay or cancel planned activities or substantially change our current corporate structure. In such an event, we intend to implement expense reduction plans in a timely manner. However, these actions would have material adverse effects on our business, revenues, operating results, and prospects, resulting in a possible failure of our business.
— 12 —
2. If we are unable to maintain our interests in our option agreements, then we will lose our interests in these mineral claims, and we may not be able to carry out our plan of operations.
We are required to make substantial payments in order to maintain our interests in certain of our option agreements. Over the next twelve months, beginning on September 1, 2006, we must incur exploration expenditures totaling $650,000 in order to maintain our interests in the El Tigre, Porvenir, Santa Rita and La Centela mineral concessions. Our inability to make these payments due to a lack of financing or our determination not to make these payments will result in our losing our interests in these claims. If we are not able to maintain our interests in our mineral claims, then we will not be able to carry out our plan of operations.
3. Because we have only recently commenced preliminary exploration of ourMexican mineral claims, we face a high risk of business failure and this could result in a total loss of your investment.
We have just recently begun the initial stages of exploration of our mineral claims, and thus have no way to evaluate the likelihood of whether we will be able to operate our business successfully. To date, we have been involved primarily in organizational activities, acquiring interests in mineral claims and in conducting preliminary exploration of mineral claims. We have not earned any revenues and have not achieved profitability 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. We have no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that our business will prove successful, and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will likely fail and you will lose your entire investment in this offering.
4. Because we do not have any revenues, we expect to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future.
We have never earned revenues and we have never been profitable. Prior to completing exploration on our mineral properties, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. If we are unable to generate financing to continue the exploration of our mineral claims, we will fail and you will lose your entire investment in this offering.
— 13 —
5. We have yet to attain profitable operations and because we will need additional financing to fund our exploration activities, we may have to cease operations.
We have incurred a net loss of $4,484,146 for the period from February 9, 2005 (inception) to September 30, 2006, and have no revenues to date. Our ability to continue the exploration of our mineral claims is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing. These factors raise substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Our financial statements included with this Prospectus have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. Our auditors have made reference to the substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern in their audit report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. If we are not able to achieve revenues, then we may not be able to continue as a going concern and our financial condition and business prospects will be adversely affected.
6. If our costs of exploration are greater than anticipated, then we will not be able to complete our planned exploration programs for our mineral claims without additional financing, of which there is no assurance that we would be able to obtain. This could prevent us from achieving revenues.
We are proceeding with the initial stages of exploration on our mineral claims. We have prepared budgets for our exploration programs. However, there is no assurance that our actual costs will not exceed the budgeted costs. Factors that could cause actual costs to exceed budgeted costs include increased prices due to competition for personnel and supplies during the Mexico summer exploration season, unanticipated problems in completing the exploration programs and delays experienced in completing the exploration program. Increases in exploration costs could result in us not being able to carry out our exploration programs without additional financing. There is no assurance that we would be able to obtain additional financing in this event. This could prevent us from achieving revenues.
7. Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mining properties, there is substantial risk that no commercially exploitable minerals will be found and our business will fail, and you could lose your entire investment.
We are in the initial stages of exploration of our mineral claims, and thus have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be successful in establishing commercially exploitable reserves of gold or other valuable minerals on our mineral claims. 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 search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We may not find commercially exploitable reserves of gold or molybdenum or other minerals in any of our mineral claims. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. The expenditures to be made by us on our exploration programs may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of ore. 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. 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 business plan, and you could lose your entire investment.
— 14 —
8. 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, which could cause us to liquidate our assets and go out of business.
The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. In the course of carrying out exploration of our mineral claims, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins, lost circulations, stuck drill steel, adverse weather precluding drill site access and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. We currently have no such insurance nor do we expect to get such insurance for the foreseeable future. If a hazard were to occur, the costs of rectifying the hazard may exceed our asset value and cause us to liquidate all of our assets, resulting in the loss of your entire investment in this offering.
9. If we discover commercial reserves of precious metals on any of our mineral properties, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to successfully advance the mineral claims into commercial production. If we cannot commence commercial production, we may not be able to achieve revenues.
Our mineral properties do not contain any known bodies of ore. If our exploration programs are successful in establishing ore of commercial tonnage and grade on any of our mineral claims, we will require additional funds in order to advance the mineral claims into commercial production. In such an event, we may be unable to obtain any such funds, or to obtain such funds on terms that we consider economically feasible, we may not be able to achieve revenues.
10. Because access to our mineral claims is often restricted by inclement weather, we may be delayed in our exploration and any future mining efforts, which could increase our operating expenses and prevent us from being profitable.
Access to certain of our mineral claims may be restricted to the period between April and December of each year due to storms in the area. Inclement weather may result in significant delays in exploration efforts and may increase the costs of exploration, with the result that we may not be able to complete our exploration programs within the anticipated time frames or within our anticipated budgets, which could increase our operating expenses and prevent us from being profitable.
11. As we undertake exploration of our mineral claims, we will be subject to compliance with government regulation that may increase the anticipated time and cost of our exploration program, which could increase our expenses.
We will be subject to the mining laws and regulations as contained in Mexico as we carry out our exploration program. We will be required to prove our compliance with relevant Mexican environmental and workplace safety laws, regulations and standards by submitting receipts showing the purchase of equipment used for workplace safety of the prevention of pollution or the undertaking of environmental remediation projects before we are able to obtain drilling permits. We will also be required to pay mining taxes to the Mexican government. If our exploration activities lead us to make a decision to go into mining production, before we initial a major drilling program, we will have to obtain an environmental impact statement authorization. This could potentially take more than 10 months to obtain and could potentially be refused. While our planned exploration program budgets for regulatory compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could increase our time and costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program. These factors could prevent us from becoming profitable.
— 15 —
12. We face strong competition from other mining companies for the acquisition of new properties. If we are unable to acquire new properties, we may not be able to generate significant revenues.
Mines have limited lives and, as a result, we may seek to replace and expand our reserves through the acquisition of new properties. In addition, there is a limited supply of desirable mineral lands available in Mexico and other areas where we would consider conducting exploration and/or production activities. Because we face strong competition for new properties from other mining companies, some of which have greater financial resources than we do, we may be unable to acquire attractive new mining properties on terms that we consider acceptable. If we are unable to acquire new properties, we may not be able to generate significant or any revenues.
13. We may lose our rights to exercise options to acquire mining rights to properties if we fail to meet certain expenditure requirements. If we lose our options to acquire property rights, we may never achieve revenues and our business could fail.
We currently have three option agreements to acquire mining rights. The first gives us an option to acquire a mining interest in the Santa Rita property in Mexico. The second is an option to acquire mining interests in the El Tigre and Porvenir properties in Mexico, and the other is an option to acquire mining interests in the La Centela property, which is adjacent to El Tigre and Porvenir. In order to maintain and exercise our option in the Santa Rita property, we must spend $200,000 and issue 25,000 common shares by June 18, 2007, spend an additional $300,000 and issue 75,000 more shares by June 18, 2008 and spend an additional $450,000 and issue 100,000 more shares by June 18, 2009. In order to maintain and exercise our option on the El Tigre and Porvenir claims, we must spend $200,000 prior to July 2, 2007. In order to exercise our option to acquire the first 70% of the La Centela mining claim, we must, within the next four years, spend $2,000,000 in exploration expenses, pay a further $475,000 and issue a further 500,000 common shares, plus issue additional shares if we identify any gold. We are not required to issue any additional shares if we identify any molybdenum. If we fail to make these expenditures within the required time periods, we will forfeit our rights to exercise the options. There can be no assurance that we will always spend the required amount of exploration expenses by the requisite dates. If we lose our options to acquire mining rights we may never achieve revenues.
14. We face competition from other mining companies for access to mining equipment, crews and geologists. Our inability to obtain labor and equipment could prevent us from completing our exploration program, which could prevent us from achieving revenues.
We plan to complete exploration programs for which we will need drill rigs and other equipment, contract geologists, and crews to operate the equipment. We have not yet entered into any agreements with services companies to provide us access to a drilling rig or a drilling crew in Mexico. We face competition from other mining companies for access to mining equipment, crews and geologists. Currently, in Mexico, there are large numbers of companies competing to obtain the services of rigs and crews. There are inadequate rigs to meet the demand in Mexico and the owners of the rigs often give preference to larger drilling programs that we plan to carry out. We have already experienced delays in obtaining a rig, and we have consequently had to delay our core sample drilling program on El Tigre by several months. If we are unable to obtain mining equipment and labor on commercially reasonable terms, this could increase our operating costs. If we are unable to obtain mining equipment or labor we will not be able to complete our exploration program and we may not be able to achieve revenues.
— 16 —
15. In order to complete exploration activities on our mining properties, we are required to obtain permission from private owners of land adjacent to one of our properties. If such permission is not granted, we may not be able to complete our exploration program and our business could fail.
There are private owners of land adjacent to the Santa Rita property in Mexico. In order to access the Santa Rita property, we need to go through an adjacent property owned by a private owner. We have been able to negotiate access rights so far to carry out our exploration activities over the next few months. However, if we are unable to negotiate further rights from the adjacent property owner for our continued exploration activities on the Santa Rita land, we may be unable to access the Santa Rita property and therefore unable to continue our plan of exploration. If we are unable to explore the property, our business could fail.
16. We are exposed to currency exchange risk which could cause our reported earnings or losses to fluctuate.
Although we intend to report our financial results in US dollars, a portion of our operating costs may be denominated in Swiss francs, Mexican pesos or other currencies. In addition, we are exposed to currency exchange risk on any of our assets that we denominate in other currencies. Since we present our financial statements in US dollars, any change in the value of the Swiss Franc or Mexican Peso or other currency we use relative to the US dollar during a given financial reporting period would result in a foreign currency loss or gain on the translation of some of our assets into US dollars. Consequently, our reported earnings or losses could fluctuate materially as a result of foreign exchange translation gains or losses.
Risks Associated with this Offering
17. Because there is no public trading market for our common stock, you may not be able to resell your stock.
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock. Therefore there is no central place, such as stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell your shares. If you do want to resell your shares, you will have to locate a buyer and negotiate your own sale. As a result, you may be unable to sell your shares, or you may be forced to sell them at a loss.
18. Because the Commission imposes additional sales practice requirements on brokers who deal in our shares which are penny stocks, some brokers may be unwilling to trade them. This means that you may have difficulty reselling your shares and this may cause the price of the shares to decline.
Our shares are classified as penny stocks and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) which impose additional sales practice requirements on brokers-dealers who sell our securities in this offering or in the aftermarket. For sales of our securities, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from you a written agreement prior to making a sale for you. Because of the imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices, it is possible that brokers will not want to make a market in our shares. This could prevent you from reselling your shares and may cause the price of the shares to decline.
— 17 —
There is no established market for the common stock being registered. We intend to apply to the OTC Bulletin Board for the trading of our common stock. This process takes at least three months and the application must be made on our behalf by a market maker,. If our common stock becomes listed and a market for the stock develops, the actual price of the shares will be determined by prevailing market prices at the time of sale. Trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often sporadic and investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations, which may have a depressive effect on the market price for our common stock. Accordingly, you may have difficulty reselling any shares your purchase from us.
19. Because our officers and directors, who are also our promoters, will own more than 50% of the outstanding shares after this offering, they will retain control of us and be able to decide who will be directors and you may not be able to remove them as directors which could prevent us from becoming profitable.
Before the offering, Bruno Weiss, our Chief Financial Officer, owns or has the rights to acquire a total of 6,837,000 shares, which would be 27% of our issued and outstanding stock. After the offering, if he sells all 1,000,000 shares he is registering in this Prospectus, he will have 5,837,000 shares, which would be approximately 23% of our issued and outstanding stock. Before the offering, Norman Meier, our Chief Executive Officer, owns or has the rights to acquire a total of 12,975,000 shares, which would be approximately 51% of our issued and outstanding stock. After the offering, if he sells all 3,000,000 shares he is registering in this Prospectus, he will have 9,975,000 shares, which would be approximately 39% of our issued and outstanding stock.
Because Norman Meier and Bruno Weiss will continue to own more than 50% of our issued common stock, they will be able to elect all of our directors and control our operations. They may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions that involve risks. For example, they could cause us to make acquisitions that increase our indebtedness or to sell revenue generating assets. They may from time to time acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. If the directors fail to act in our best interests or fail to perform adequately to manage us, you may have difficulty in removing them as directors, which could prevent us from becoming profitable.
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 at a price of $1.00 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The $1.00 per share initial offering price of our common stock was arbitrarily determined by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors considered several factors in such determination, including the following:
— 18 —
- prices of shares we have issued in the past;
- our capital structure; and
- the background of our management.
Therefore, the $1.00 per share offering price of our shares of common stock does not necessarily bear any relationship to established valuation criteria and may not be indicative of prices that may prevail at any time. The price of our shares of common stock is not based on past earnings, nor is the price of the shares of our common stock indicative of current market value for the assets owned by us. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business. You cannot be sure that a public market for any of our securities will develop.
We have applied to the OTC Bulletin Board for the trading of our common stock. If our common stock becomes so traded and a market for our stock develops, the actual price of our stock will be determined by prevailing market prices at the time of sale or by private transactions negotiated by the selling shareholders named in this Prospectus (the "Selling Shareholders"). The offering price would thus be determined by market factors and the independent decisions of the Selling Shareholders.
The number of shares that may be actually sold by a selling shareholder will be determined by each selling shareholder. The Selling Shareholders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of the shares offered, nor are the Selling Shareholders obligated to sell such shares immediately under this Prospectus. A shareholder may sell shares at a price different than $1.00 per share depending on privately negotiated factors such as a shareholder's own cash requirements, or objective criteria of value such as the market value of our assets.
Dilution
All 6,954,517 shares of the common stock to be sold by the Selling Shareholders is common stock that is currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, it will not cause dilution to our existing shareholders.
Sales by Selling Shareholders
The Selling Shareholders may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions:
on such public markets as the common stock may be trading;
in privately negotiated transactions;
through the writing of options of the common stock;
in short sales; or
in any combination of these methods of distribution.
The sales price to the public may be:
- offered at the set price of $1.00 per share until a market develops;
- the market price prevailing at the time of sale;
— 19 —
- a price related to such prevailing market price; or
- such other price as the selling shareholders determine.
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 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 laws and may, among other things:
not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock;
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
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.
None of the Selling Shareholders will engage in any electronic offer, sale or distribution of the shares. Further, neither Hemis nor any of the selling shareholders have any arrangements with a third party to host or access our Prospectus on the Internet.
The Selling Shareholders and any underwriters, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of our common stock may be deemed to be underwriters, and any commissions or concessions received by any such underwriters, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Shares may be sold from time to time by the selling shareholders in one or more transactions at a fixed offering price, which may be changed, or at any varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. We may indemnify any underwriter against specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among our officers or directors.
No Legal Proceedings
None of our directors, executive officers, promoters or control persons have been involved in any of the following events during the past five years:
any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);
being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or
— 28 —
- being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.
Audit Committee
The functions of the Audit Committee are currently carried out by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have an audit committee financial expert on our Board of Directors carrying out the duties of the Audit Committee. Our Board of Directors has determined that the cost of hiring a financial expert to act as a director of Hemis and to be a member of the Audit Committee or otherwise perform Audit Committee functions outweighs the benefits of having a financial expert on the Audit Committee.

Description of Securities
Common Stock
As of December 6, 2006 we had 20,310,223 common shares outstanding and outstanding options to purchase 10,050,000 common shares at exercise prices ranging between $0.001 and $1.00. Our authorized capital stock consists of 150,000,000 common shares, $0.001 par value. Holders of the common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase additional shares of common stock or other subscription rights. The common stock carries no conversion rights and is not subject to redemption or to any sinking fund provisions. All shares of common stock are entitled to share equally in dividends from sources legally available, therefore, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, and upon our liquidation or dissolution, whether voluntary or involuntary, to share equally in our assets available for distribution to stockholders.
The Board of Directors is authorized to issue additional shares of common stock not to exceed the amount authorized by our Articles of Incorporation, on such terms and conditions and for such consideration as the Board may deem appropriate without further stockholder action.
Voting Rights
Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters on which such stockholders are entitled to vote. Since the shares of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors can elect all the directors if they choose to do so and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any person to the Board of Directors.
— 30 —
Dividend Policy
Holders of our common stock are entitled to dividends if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefore. On July 1, 2006 we issued a stock dividend in the amount of $0.0001 per share on the issued and outstanding common shares of Hemis as of July 1, 2006 for which we issued one common share of Aurum Corporation for every $0.001 of dividend declared, which amounted to one share of Aurum for every 10 shares of Hemis. Prior to the stock dividend, Aurum was a wholly owned subsidiary of Hemis. After the stock dividend, Hemis' sole share in Aurum was cancelled, so that Hemis now has no ownership interest in Aurum.
On September 1, 2006 we issued a stock dividend in the amount of $0.00002 per share on the issued and outstanding common shares of Hemis as of September 1, 2006 for which we issued one common share of Stratos Gold Corporation for every $0.0001 of dividend declared, which amounted to one share of Stratos for every 50 shares of Hemis. Prior to the stock dividend, Stratos was a wholly owned subsidiary of Hemis. Hemis' shares in Stratos were cancelled, so that Hemis now has no ownership interest in Stratos.
On December 1, 2006 we issued a stock dividend in the amount of $0.000001 per share on the issued and outstanding common shares of Hemis as of December 1, 2006 for which we issued one common share of Tecton Corporation for every $0.0001 of dividend declared, which amounted to one share of Tecton for every 100 shares of Hemis. Prior to the stock dividend, Tecton was a wholly owned subsidiary of Hemis, and it was inactive. Hemis' shares in Tecton were cancelled, so that Hemis now has no ownership interest in Tecton.
We do not intend to issue any cash dividends in the future. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to finance the development and expansion of our business. However, it is possible that management may decide to declare a stock dividend in the future. Future dividend policy will be subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be contingent upon future earnings, if any, our financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors.
Stock Transfer Agent
Island Stock Transfer has been appointed by us to serve as our stock transfer agent.

Indemnification
Under our Articles of Incorporation and bylaws, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's fees.

Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Nevada law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Description of Business
Incorporation
We were incorporated as a Nevada company on February 9, 2005. We have been engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties since our inception.
Overview
We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in Mexico. Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to conduct exploration of our mineral properties in Mexico.
We have only recently begun our current operations and we have not yet earned any revenues and have had operational losses to date, as well as an accumulated shareholder deficit. As of September 30, 2006, we had accumulated losses in the amount of $4,484,146 and accumulated shareholder equity of $986,366.
We are an exploration stage company. All of our projects are at the exploration stage and there is no assurance that any of our mining claims contain a commercially viable ore body. We plan to undertake further exploration of our properties. We anticipate that we will require additional financing in order to pursue full exploration of these claims. We do not have sufficient financing to undertake full exploration of our mineral claims at present and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary financing.
There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our mineral properties. Further exploration beyond the scope of our planned exploration activities will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of mining of any of our
— 33 —
properties is determined. There is no assurance that further exploration will result in a final evaluation that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our mineral properties.
Mineral Properties and Plan Of Operations
We hold interests in three mineral properties, all located in Mexico, as described below:
Name of Property | Location |
Santa Rita Property | La Zacatecas, Mexico |
El Tigre Property | Sonora, Mexico |
Porvenir Property | Sonora, Mexico |
La Centela Property | Sonora, Mexico |
Our interest in the Santa Rita Property consists of an Option Agreement we signed with Corex Gold Corp. and its subsidiary Corex Global Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada de Capital Variable on June 19, 2006, whereby we have an option to acquire a 49% interest in the Santa Rita Property. Our interest in the El Tigre and Porvenir properties consists of an Option Agreement our wholly owned subsidiary, Hemis Gold S.A. de C.V. entered into with Loreto Careaga Galaz Widow Rascón and others on December 31, 2005. The agreement grants us an option to acquire a 67.5% interest in the El Tigre and Porvenir properties. We plan to continue to review new gold and other mineral opportunities on a case-by-case basis.
On September 7, 2006 we entered into an agreement with Electrum Capital, Inc. and Snra. Maria de Los Angeles Valverde Guzman whereby we acquired options to acquire up to 75% of the La Centela mineral claims. The La Centela mineral claims are located to the North, North East and West of the Porvenir claim.
Our plan of operations is to carry out exploration of our mineral properties. We intend to primarily explore for gold and molybdenum, but if we discover that any of our mineral properties hold potential for other minerals that our management determines are worth exploring further, then we will explore for those other minerals. Our specific exploration plan for each of our mineral properties, together with information regarding the location and access, history of operations, present condition and geology of each of our properties, is presented in the section of this prospectus entitled “Description of Properties.” All of our exploration programs are preliminary in nature in that their completion will not result in a determination that any of our properties contains commercially exploitable quantities of mineralization. Our management estimates that if the mineral properties on which we have options do have commercially exploitable quantities of mineralization, it will cost us approximately $4,000,000 in exploration expenses and take us until summer of 2009 to make such a determination.
Our exploration programs will be directed by our management and will be supervised by Dr. Norman Meier, our President and Chief Executive Officer. We will engage contractors to carry out our exploration programs under Dr. Meier's supervision. Contractors that we plan to engage include project geologists, geochemical sampling crews and drilling companies, each according the specific exploration program on each property. Our budgets for our exploration programs are set forth in the section of this prospectus entitled “Description of Properties.” We plan to solicit bids from drilling companies prior to selecting any drilling company to complete a drilling program. We anticipate paying normal industry rates for core drilling.
We plan to complete our exploration programs within the periods specified in the section of this prospectus entitled “Description of Properties.” Key factors that could delay completion of our exploration programs beyond the projected timeframes include the following.
(a) | Poor availability of drill rigs due to high demand in Mexico; |
— 34 —
(b) | Delays in obtaining permission from private owners of land adjacent to our properties; |
(c) | Our inability to identify a joint venture partner and conclude a joint venture agreement where we anticipate a joint venture will be required due to the high costs of a drilling program; |
(d) | Adverse weather; and |
(e) | Our inability to obtain sufficient funding. |
Key factors that could cause our exploration costs to be greater than anticipated include the following:
(a) | adverse drilling conditions, including caving ground, lost circulation, the presence of artesian water, stuck drill steel and adverse weather precluding drill site access; |
(b) | increased costs for contract geologists and geochemical sampling crews due to increased demand in Mexico; and |
(c) | increased drill rig and crew rental costs due to high demand in Mexico. |
Our Board of Directors will make determinations as whether to proceed with the additional exploration of our Mexico mineral properties based on the results of the preliminary exploration that we undertake. In completing these determinations, we will make an assessment as to whether the results of the preliminary exploration are sufficiently positive to enable us to achieve the financing that would be necessary for us to proceed with more advanced exploration.
We may consider entering into joint venture arrangements on several of our mineral properties, as noted in the section of this prospectus entitled “Description of Properties”, to provide the required funding to pursue drilling and advanced exploration of our mineral claims. If we entered into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in our mineral claims to the joint venture partner. The assignment of the interest would be conditional upon contribution by the joint venture partner of capital to enable the advanced exploration on the mineral properties to proceed. We are presently in the process of attempting to locate a joint venture partner for our mineral claims, but we have not concluded any joint venture agreements to date. There is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund exploration of our mineral claims.
We plan to continue exploration of our mineral claims for so long as the results of the geological exploration that we complete indicate the further exploration of our mineral claims is recommended and we are able to obtain the additional financing necessary to enable us to continue exploration. All exploration activities on our mineral claims are presently preliminary exploration activities. Advanced exploration activities, including the completion of comprehensive drilling programs, will be necessary before we are able to complete any feasibility studies on any of our mineral properties. If our exploration activities result in an indication that our mineral claims contain potentially commercial exploitable quantities of gold, then we would attempt to complete feasibility studies on our property to assess whether commercial exploitation of the property would be commercially feasible. There is no assurance that commercial exploitation of our mineral claims would be commercially feasible even if our initial exploration programs show evidence of gold mineralization.
If we determine not to proceed with further exploration of any of our mineral claims due to results from geological exploration that indicate that further exploration is not recommended or
— 35 —
due to our lack of financing, we will attempt to acquire additional interests in new mineral resource properties. Due to our limited finances, there is no assurance that we would be able to acquire an interest in a new property that merits further exploration. If we were to acquire an interest in a new property, then our plan would be to conduct resource exploration of the new property. In any event, we anticipate that our acquisition of a new property and any exploration activities that we would undertake will be subject to our achieving additional financing, of which there is no assurance.
Competition
We are a new and unestablished mineral resource exploration company. We compete with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford more geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to achieve the financing necessary for us to conduct further exploration of our mineral properties.
We will also compete with other junior mineral exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to make investments in junior mineral exploration companies. The presence of competing junior mineral exploration companies may impact on our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our exploration programs if investors are of the view that investments in competitors are more attractive based on the merit of the mineral properties under investigation and the price of the investment offered to investors.
We will also compete with other junior and senior mineral companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, camp staff, helicopter or float planes, mineral exploration supplies and drill rigs.
Government Regulations
Our current and future exploration and development activities, as well as our future mining and processing operations, are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations in the countries in which we conduct our activities. These laws and regulations govern the protection of the environment, prospecting, development, production, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. We expect to be able to comply with those laws and do not believe that compliance will have a material adverse effect on our competitive position. We have obtained, and intend to obtain all licenses and permits required by all applicable regulatory agencies in connection with our exploration activities and any mining operations we carry out. We intend to maintain standards of environmental compliance consistent with regulatory requirements. We have obtained, and will obtain at the appropriate time, environmental permits, licenses or approvals required for our operations. We are not aware of any material violations of environmental permits, licenses or approvals issued with respect to our operations.
— 36 —
Mining law in Mexico applies to exploration and exploitation of natural resources deposits. In connection with mining and exploration activities in the El Tigre, Porvenir, La Centela and Santa Rita properties, we are subject to extensive Mexican federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment, including laws and regulations relating to protection of air and water quality, hazardous waste management and mine reclamation as well as the protection of endangered or threatened species.
Before we can commence a full drilling program, we will have to submit an environmental impact statement for authorization. Exploration activities such as mapping and sampling do not require the preparation of a Statement. We have received all necessary permits to conduct our initial exploration activities on El Tigre, Porvenir, La Centela and Santa Rita. Before we can begin a drilling program on any of the properties, we will have to prepare a Statement, which will describe the anticipated environmental impact of our planned drilling program, as well as outlining our planned actions to minimize any potential environmental damage. Studies required to support the environmental impact statement include a detailed analysis of these areas, among others: soil, water, vegetation, wildlife, cultural resources and socio-economic impacts. In reviewing the Statement, the Mexican authority looks at potential impact on national Mexican environment, as well as reviewing for local concerns such as proximity to water supplies or potential interference with local farms. The Mexican authority has ten days to respond after we file a Statement, and if they do not respond, authorization is deemed to have been granted. If the Mexican government does respond, then the time within which authorization will be granted can be increased to six to twelve months or longer. It is also possible that no authorization will be granted if the Mexican government is not satisfied that appropriate measure will be taken to protect the environment.
Obtaining the environmental impact statement authorization generally takes six to twelve months from the date it is applied for.
For our exploration activities, we will be subject to the following Mexican government requirements:
- within 90 days after commencement of labor, we must file a report with the Mexico Mining Registry;
- Payment of Mining taxes in January and July of each year.
- Comply with Official Mexican Standards pertaining to safety by submitting receipts showing the purchase of equipment used for workplace safety;
- Compliance with general Mexican environmental laws which prohibit the following:
|
| o | Releasing pollutants into the atmosphere, causing damage to natural resources; |
| o | Destroying or cutting trees without authorization; and |
| o | Causing forest or jungle fires; |
If we commence mining development or production activities, we must also comply with the following Mexican environmental laws and standards:
- Authorization of environmental impact statements;
- Under the Mexican Hazardous Waste Regulations, materials left over after the removal of minerals are defined as hazardous wastes. These wastes must be stored and deposited in areas at least 25 kilometers away from urban centers
- The use of national waters in mining activities requires a concession or assignment from the National Water Commission. Wastewater resulting from mining activities requires a wastewater discharge permit.
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not spent any amounts on research and development activities since our inception. Our planned expenditures on our exploration programs are summarized under the section of this prospectus entitled “Description of Properties.”

2. Ownership Interest
The Santa Rita claim is comprised of mineral concessions that were issued by the Direccion General de Minas to Corex Global Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada de C. V. a Mexican subsidiary controlled 100% by Corex Gold Corporation, a publicly traded Canadian company junior listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX:V:CGE). The mineral concession includes the right to exploit, mine and produce all minerals lying beneath the surface of the Santa Rita property.
On December 20, 2005, we entered into a "Memo of Understanding" which granted us the right to proceed with an exploration program on the Santa Rita property. On June 19, 2006, we entered into a final “Option Agreement” which replaced the Memo of Understanding and which gave us the right to acquire a 49% interest in the Santa Rita property upon incurring certain exploration expenses.
We have an option to acquire a 49% interest in the Santa Rita Property by spending an aggregate of $950,000 in exploration expenditures over a three year term and by issuing Corex Gold a total of 200,000 common shares of our capital stock. Under the terms of the agreement, Corex Gold will continue to be the operator of the joint venture. We may exercise this option at any time prior to June 19, 2009, so long as certain expenditures have been made each year. We are obligated to incur the following exploration expenses in order to maintain our option agreement in good standing:
Period
| Minimum Amount of Exploration Expenditures |
June 19, 2006 – June 18, 2007 | $200,000 |
— 40 —
June 19, 2007 – June 18, 2008 | $300,000 |
June 19, 2008 – June 18, 2009 | $450,000 |
We are also obligated to make the following issuances of our capital stock to Corex Gold in order to maintain our option agreement and fully exercise our option:
Period | Share to be Issued |
June 19, 2006 – June 18, 2007 | 25,000 common shares |
June 19, 2007 – June 18, 2008 | 75,000 common shares |
June 19, 2008 – June 18, 2009 | 100,000 common shares |
We will be deemed to have exercised the option on completion of the above described exploration expenditures and stock issuances at which time we will be entitled to a 49% interest in the Santa Rita Property. We have the right to withdraw at any time before exercising the option. If we fail to exercise the option in full, we shall not be entitled to a proportional interest in the property. Upon the exercise of the option, Hemis and Corex are obligated to enter into a industry standard joint venture agreement which shall include the following terms:
- Sharing of all expenses and revenues proportionate to ownership interest;
- Management of the joint venture by a management committee, which shall make decisions by majority vote, of which Hemis will have 49% of the votes, and Corex Gold shall have 51% of the votes, thereby effectively having control of the management committee
- Appointment of Corex Gold as manager and operator with responsibility to conduct all operations in a good, workmanlike and efficient manner in accordance with sound mining practice, industry standards and applicable laws
We have the exclusive right to conduct exploration on the Santa Rita Property during the term of the option agreement, provided we incur our minimum annual exploration expenditures and stock issuances. During the period of the option agreement (from June 19, 2006 until the option is exercised or until June 18, 2009) we are obligated to occupy, manage and use the Santa Rita property concession in full compliance with all applicable federal, state, municipal, regional laws.
As of September 30, 2006, we had incurred $53,696 of exploration expenditures pursuant to the option agreement.
3. History of Operations
Historically, this area has been mined by small miners and prospectors. All prior production in this area has been mainly grass-roots, small family operations. No drilling has ever taken place on the property. Our exploration of this area will be the first commercial operation.
— 41 —
4. Present Condition of the Property and Current State of Exploration
The Santa Rita Property is in the early stage of exploration and presently contains no gold or silver resources.
Extensive mapping and sampling have been carried out during the first quarter of 2006 on the Santa Rita Property. This principally consisted of re-examination of areas with small mines and prospects, in order to:
- Look for associated bulk-mineable, disseminated deposits not economic for the historic small miners; and
- Better understand the styles and controls of mineralization in the area to prospect for blind deposits, covered by alluvium/colluvium or unmineralized strata.
Some regional sampling has also been done to examine geophysical anomalies and major structures to see if they are related to mineralization. This work included analyses for 373 samples, and geologic mapping in extensive areas of the property, including most of the known mineralized occurrences on the property.
Based on the results of this geological sampling, we plan to complete a drilling program on the Santa Rita Property.
Our plan of exploration for the Santa Rita Property is as follows:
Description of Phase of Exploration | Description of Exploration Work Required
|
First Phase of Drilling | So far, over 373 samples have been taken and analyzed. In addition mapping has been completed and we have identified several drill targets for the first round of drilling. |
Second Phase of Drilling | If results from the first phase of drilling are good, we would continue with a second and more intensive drilling phase. This will provide us with a more detailed conclusion as to where the potential would lie, and help us identify a potential gold deposit. |
The anticipated timetable and estimated budget for completion if each stage of exploration are as follows:
Stage of Exploration
| Anticipated Timetable for Completion | Estimated Cost of Completion |
First Phase of Drilling | Winter 2006 | $100,000 to $150,000 |
Second Phase of Drilling | Spring to Summer 2007 | $100,000 to $150,000 |

5. Geology
The Santa Rita concession contains 22,982 hectares (230 sq. km) in the Sierra Madre Oriental of Zacatecas State. The rocks in this portion of Mexico are comprised of carbonate rocks intruded by plutons responsible for carbonate-hosted mantos, breccia pipes, and polymetallic skarns. Examples in this district include; the polymetallic deposit of La Naranjera, Noche Buena, Terminal, Bonanza and Penasquito as well as the nearby Concepcion del Oro district.
El Tigre Property, Porvenir Property and La Centela Property
1. Location and Access
The El Tigre property, the Porvenir property and the La Centela property are located very close to each other, both in western Mexico in south-eastern Sonora in the mountains. The nearest river is Sahuaripa River. The La Centela Property is divided into six concessions which are surrounding the El Tigre and Porvenir Property.
A diagram of the El Tigre, Porvenir and La Centela properties is presented below:
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/SB-2A/0001062993-06-003985/eltigre-map.jpg)
The area where the El Tigre, Porvenir and La Centela properties are located is 1600 meters above sea level and is located on a hill. They are approximately 250 km east of Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora. The properties are accessible by paved road from Hermosillo to within about 15 km of the properties. A well maintained dirt road comprises the next 8 km with a four-wheel drive trail providing the final 7 km of access to the properties. We have re-constructed and improved this four-wheel drive trail and several other vehicular trails that lead to some of the abandoned mine workings. Valle de Tacupero is the nearest village to the property and is located on the paved road. The closest available lodging is in the village of Bamori, which is 10 km to the north of Valle de Tacupero. Fuel and services are available in Sahuaripa, which is another 20 km north of Bamori.
Maps showing the location and access to the El Tigre Property and the Porvenir Property are presented below.

2. Ownership Interest
El Tigre and Porvenir
The El Tigre claim property has an area of 30 hectares and the Porvenir claim property has an area of 83 hectares. The La Centela claim property consists of six concessions with a total area of 572 hectares.
On December 31, 2005, our wholly owned subsidiary, Hemis Gold S.A. do C.V., entered into an option agreement with Jose Quiros Soto, Loreto Careaga Galaz, Viuda de Rascon and Rosa Maria Burgos Robles to acquire a 67.5% interest in the El Tigre and Porvenir properties. If we incur $200,000 in exploration expenditures within 548 days (18 months) from the date of the agreement, January 23, 2006, we will acquire a 67.5% interest in the El Tigre concession and the Porvenir concession mineral claims.
The property owner Federico Valenzuela controls surface rights to the El Tigre and Porvenir properties. We have negotiated an agreement with the property owner that allows us access during exploration and mining.
As of September 30, 2006, we had incurred $59,710 of exploration expenditures pursuant to the option agreement. We are actively pursuing additional mineral concessions within this project area.
La Centela
On September 12, 2006 we entered into a binding letter of intent agreement with Electrum Capital, Inc. and Snra. Maria de Los Angeles Valverde Guzman (the "Optionors") whereby we obtained options to acquire up to 75% of the La Centela mineral claims. The La Centela mineral claims are located to the North, North East and West of the Porvenir claim. On October 5, 2006 the parties entered into an addendum to change the commencement date of the agreement to October 6, 2006. The agreement required that $25,000 be paid on the commencement date and that 25,000 common shares be issued within 10 days of the commencement date. We have already paid the $25,000 and issued the 25,000 shares. The agreement contemplates that a long form agreement will be entered into between the parties, although there is no deadline for entering into such an agreement.
The La Centela option agreement consists of two parts; an option to acquire the first 70% of the mining rights and an option for a further 5% of the mining rights. To acquire the first 70% of the mining rights we must pay $500,000 and issue 500,000 of our common shares to the mineral rights owner, spend at least $2,000,000 in exploration expenses and make a final share payment of 1 share for every ounce of gold we identify, if we identify any gold, to a maximum of 10,000,000 shares. If we exercise our option to acquire the first 70% of the mineral rights, we may then acquire a further 5% of the total claim by making a cash payment of $1,000,000.
To exercise the first 70% of the mining rights, we must deliver the following stock and payments to the mining concession owners, and we are required to make the following minimum exploration expenditures within the periods described:
— 45 —
Period | Share to be Issued | Cash Payments | Exploration Expenditures |
Already Paid & Issued (due October 14, 2006) | 25,000 common shares | $25,000 | $Nil |
October 6, 2006 – October 5, 2007 | 50,000 common shares | $50,000 | $200,000 |
October 6, 2007 – October 5, 2008
| 75,000 common shares | $75,000 | $200,000 |
October 6, 2008 – October 5, 2009
| 100,000 common shares | $100,000 | $200,000 |
October 6, 2009 – October 5, 2010
| 250,000 common shares | $250,000 | $1,400,000 |
Further, if, at the time we have completed all of the payments, issuances and expenditures as described in the table above, we have identified a gold deposit, then we must issue one common shares for every once of gold we estimate that we have identified, up to a maximum of 10,000,000 shares.
If we exercise our option and acquire a majority interest in the La Centela mining concession, and if we decide to proceed with mining the property, the Optionors shall be required to contribute to expenses of the mining, in proportion to their ownership interest. A failure to contribute proportionately to the expenses will result in conversion of the Optionors' interest to a 3% net smelter return. The 3% net smelter return would entitle the Optionors to 3% of revenues we receive from sales of minerals we have mined in the property.
3. History of Operations
The El Tigre, Porvenir and La Centela properties were mined by Spanish and Mexican miners before the Mexican Revolution which took place from 1910 to 1930. These areas have been mined for several hundred years. In the El Tigre Property there are several large pits which ranges in size up to approximately 15 meters wide, 25 meters long and at least 20 meters deep. They appear to have been previously mined by hand. There are no records indicating the amount of gold produced from these workings. The area has never been processed with professional machines.
4. Present Condition of the Property and Current State of Exploration
No significant exploration has been conducted on the El Tigre, La Centela or Porvenir properties. The properties are in early stage exploration and presently contain no known gold or other mineral resources. There is no plant or equipment on the properties. The properties consists of barren land with no improvements.
El Tigre Property
We have collected a total of 165 rock samples at the El Tigre Property. We conducted the sampling to identify areas of precious metal mineralization both on and off the claim block.
We have one geologic report on the El Tigre Property that was written by Doug Oliver, Ph. D., our geologist who is also a Director on our Board. The report was prepared in May 2006 and reviews the potential for mineral deposits in the El Tigre Property.
In his discussion of the results of the 165 rock samples from El Tigre, Dr. Oliver concludes that there is gold present over a broad area, in breccias and in fractured volcanic rock. He states that mineralized breccias represent attractive targets for bulk tonnage deposits. Gold in volcanic rocks, he notes, is often contained in high-grade but narrow veins that can only be mined at high expense and at a small scale. Dr. Oliver concludes that the large pits found within the El Tigre concession and at the Eastern breccia indicate there is potential for bulk-tonnage gold deposits, and that future sampling and mapping are likely to turn up additional targets elsewhere within El Tigre. Dr Oliver also states that because of the highly oxidized state of the rocks at El Tigre, any bulk-tonnage gold deposit discovered there would be an excellent candidate for low cost heap leach extraction methods.
The heap leach process is a process of extracting gold by placing ore on an impermeable pad and applying a diluted cyanide solution that dissolves a portion of the contained gold, which is then recovered in metallurgical processes. Some governmental bodies, including the State of Montana, have banned the use of this method because of environmental concerns. Neither Mexico, nor the State of Sonora in Mexico have banned the use of this method and our management is not aware that any government body in Mexico is considering banning this method.
The chief environmental consequence of the heap leach process is the accidental release of cyanide from the site. This can happen either as a result of a tailings dam failure or during overflow of the pregnant solution pond during intense rainfall. According to our geologist, Dr. Oliver, Hemis can prevent both of these situations by designing the processing facility to prevent the possibility of either of these happening in even worst-case scenarios. The tailings pond should be professionally designed and constructed with quality assurance personnel monitoring the process at all stages. The pregnant pond should be designed to retain the water from a 100-year flood. In professionally designed and operated mines there should not be a significant risk of accidental release of cyanide. The costs of building and operating a professionally designed mine is an integral part of mine construction and we do not anticipate it would add any unusual or significant expense to our cost of operations, should we decide to use the heap leach process on a gold deposit if we find one.
In his report, Dr. Oliver states that evidence supports the possible existence of a "molybdenum porphyry" deposit at El Tigre. Molybdenum is a hard, silvery-white metallic element used to toughen alloy steels and soften tungsten alloy. An essential trace element in plant nutrition, it is used in fertilizers, dyes, enamels, and reagents. The main end use of molybdenum is steel. Multiple granitic intrusions are a key characteristic of this type of deposit. Similarly, the quartz-orthoclase veins that host the molybdenite may, according to Dr. Oliver, represent leakage from a buried "molybdenum porphyry". Dr. Oliver notes that although the presence of a molybdenum deposit is highly speculative, there has been a dramatic increase in the price of molybdenum over the past few years, so that the additional exploration for molybdenum is warranted.
According to market analyst Roskill (www.roskill.com/reports/molybdenum), molybdenum prices started rising rapidly in March 2004 as a result of growing demand for molybdenum, mainly in stainless steel. In May 2005, prices peaked between $40 and $50/lb, compared with an average price of about $4.50/lb in the ten years up to 2004. In its 2006 report, Roskill estimates that the global market for molybdenum has grown from about 100 kilotons (kt) in 1990 to 181kt in 2005, an average year-on-year growth rate of 4.3%. This can be compared to a world real GDP growth rate of 2.9% per year. Mine production of molybdenum increased from about 140kt in 2002 to 180kt in 2005.
In summary, Dr. Oliver, in his May 2006, concludes that ongoing exploration at El Tigre has the potential for bulk-tonnage gold deposits hosted in volcanic breccias. Several individual targets have been identified. In addition, there are indications that a molybdenum porphyry may occur at depth at El Tigre. Indications include both the presence of multiple granitic intrusions as well as veins. According to Dr. Oliver, additional exploration is warranted for the molybdenum.
Our plan of exploration for the El Tigre Property is as follows:
Description of Phase of Exploration | Description of Exploration Work Required
|
Gold | Molybdenum |
Phase 1 Drilling | Eight diamond-drill core holes to test near-surface gold mineralization. Estimated total footage: 600 feet per hole for a total of approximately 3,000 feet | One deep core hole of approximately 1,500 feet deep to explore for molybdenum mineralization. |
Data Evaluation | Evaluate drill data | Evaluate drill data |
The anticipated timetable and estimated budget for completion if each stage of exploration are as follows:
Stage of Exploration
| Anticipated Timetable for Completion | Estimated Cost of Completion (including exploration for Gold and Molybdenum) |
Phase 1 Drilling | Fourth quarter of 2006/first quarter of 2007 | $100,000 |
Data Evaluation | Second quarter of 2007 | $100,000 |
— 46 —
We plan to use core drilling for sampling rather then reverse-circulation drilling since access is an issue at El Tigre and it is easier to move a core rig into the property. We have a verbal commitment from Cabo Drilling to provide us with a core rig and crew during early December 2006 for both our gold and molybdenum exploration drilling program. We had to increase our drill program from five to eight holes for the gold exploration in order to reserve the core rig from Cabo Drillling. We are currently negotiating terms but no written agreement has been reached with Cabo Drilling. We expect to pay industry rates for the rig.
Porvenir Property
As of December 6, 2006, no work had been done on the Porvenir Property.
Our plan of exploration for the Porvenir Property is as follows:
Description of Phase of Exploration | Description of Exploration Work Required
|
Sampling and Mapping | Begin sampling property to determine where to drill. |
Target Identification | Compile all data and identify high-priority targets for exploration. |
The anticipated timetable and estimated budget for completion if each stage of exploration are as follows:
Stage of Exploration
| Anticipated Timetable for Completion | Estimated Cost of Completion |
Sampling | Fourth Quarter of 2006 | $20,000 |
Mapping | First Quarter of 2007 | $30,000 |
La Centela Property
No significant exploration has been conducted on the La Centela property. We have conducted some preliminary sampling and mapping, but so far no conclusions have been reached.
Our plan of exploration for the La Centela property is as follows:
Description of Phase of Exploration
| Description of Exploration Work Required |
Sampling and Mapping | Some preliminary sampling has been done in the concessions that are West and South of El Tigre. We intend to conduct further sampling for gold and molybdenum mineralization on all the other concessions. |
Target Identification | Compile all data to identify high-priority targets for exploration and drilling. |
Drilling | If we are successful in identifying targets, we intend to test suitable targets for core drilling. |
The anticipated timetable and estimated budget for completion if each stage of exploration are as follows:
Stage of Exploration | Anticipated Timetable for Completion
| Estimated Cost of Completion |
Sampling | Fourth Quarter of 2007 | $20,000 |
Mapping | First Quarter of 2007 | $30,000 |
Drilling | If we are successful in identifying targets, we could begin drilling before all of the sampling and mapping are complete, and possibly as early as March, 2007. | $180,000 |
There are several key factors that can delay completion of the exploration program:
- Delays in permit approval for drilling;
- Limited availability of core rigs in Mexico; and
- Lack of funding.
Factors that could cause exploration costs to be greater than anticipated are largely from drilling conditions to include the following:
- Caving ground;
- Lost circulation;
- Artesian water; and
- Stuck drill steel.
All work on the El Tigre, Porvenir and La Centela properties will be conducted on our behalf by contractors who will include Dr. Doug Oliver, our geologist and a drilling company. Our cost for Doug Oliver, our geologist is $400 per day plus travel expenses. We have been soliciting bids from various drilling companies and we do not yet have any written commitments from a drilling company to provide us with drilling services. Normal industry rates are expected for core drilling. The program will be supervised by our Director, Dr. Oliver and our President and Chief Executive Officer.

5. Geology
The El Tigre concession contains 30 hectares (0.3 sq. km) and the Porvenir property contains 83 hectares (0.83 sq. km). The La Centela property contains 572 hectares (5.72 sq. km). Exposed bedrock comprises about 20% of the El Tigre, Porvenir and La Centela properties and consist of intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks. Contacts between these various lithologies have not been observed thus far, nor have any geologic structures.
The intrusive rocks are primarily granitic in composition. Large intrusive bodies are exposed to the south and west of the project area. These larger bodies are the coarsest grained rocks in the project area and show the least amount of fracturing or alteration. Small intrusive bodes are widespread across the project and are finer in grain size. Some of these bodies appear to be intrusive into the surrounding volcanic rocks.
Ryolite is the most abundant rock type in the project area. It commonly contains small phenocrysts of quartz and/or orthoclase and is very light in color. Breccias consisting of angular clasts surrounded by fine-grained matrix are widespread across the project area. They are most commonly developed in the rhyolite volcanic rocks and may also occur in andesites. Mega-breccias and breccias containing rounded or zoned clasts are in the area. The breccias often occur in linear zones but also cover broad areas.
The rocks on the El Tigre, Porvenir and La Centela properties are comprised of rhyolite, breccias, granite, quartz monzonite and andesite. Surrounding areas show evidence of quartz veins, breccia dikes and breccia zones, which stretch over a large area and extend to the southeast. On the El Tigre, Porvenir and La Centela properties there are lots of pits, burrows and holes, some from which gold appears to have been previuosly extracted.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
We are a start-up stage corporation with limited operations and no revenues from our business operations. Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. Our only source for cash at this time is investments by others in our company. We must raise cash to implement our plan of operation.
— 49 —
Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to continue with the exploration of our Nevada and Mexican mineral properties. Our planned geological exploration programs are described in detail in Item 2 of this Prospectus entitled Description of Properties.
Our planned exploration expenditures for the next twelve months (beginning September 30, 2006) on our mineral properties, together with amounts we expect to spend on administrative costs are summarized as follows:
Description of Expense | Planned Exploration Expenditures |
Exploration of Santa Rita Property | $300,000 |
Exploration of El Tigre Property | $500,000 |
Exploration of Porvenir Property | $50,000 |
Exploration of La Centela Property | $ 230,000 |
Payment towards acquisition of La Centela mining rights | $ 50,000 |
Obtaining interests in other mining rights | $200,000 |
General and Administrative Expenses | $500,000 |
Total | $1,830,000 |
The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to our regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees, management fees, investor relations and general office expenses.
We had cash in the amount of $1,223,245 and working capital in the amount of $939,134 as of September 30, 2006. Based on our planned expenditures, as of September 30, 2006 we required a minimum of approximately $607,000 to proceed with our plan of operations over the next twelve months. We anticipate that we will require additional financing in order to pursue our exploration programs beyond the preliminary exploration programs for our mineral properties that are outlined above. If we achieve less than the full amount of financing that we require, we will scale back our exploration programs on our mineral properties and will proceed with scaled back exploration plans based on our available financial resources.
From the date of this Prospectus for the following 33 months, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of operations. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of exploration as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and 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 our exploration programs. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration of our mineral claims. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing to fund our exploration programs, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of our mineral claims following the completion of preliminary exploration. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to abandon our properties and our plan of operations.
— 50 —
Our exploration plans will be continually evaluated and modified as exploration results become available. Modifications to our plans will be based on many factors, including: results of exploration, assessment of data, weather conditions, exploration costs, the price of gold and available capital. Further, the extent of our exploration programs that we undertake will be dependent upon the amount of financing available to us.

We anticipate that we will not earn any revenues during the current fiscal year or in the foreseeable future as we are presently engaged in the exploration of our mineral properties.

During the period from February 9, 2005 to September 30, 2005, our General and Administrative expenses primarily included the following: professional fees of $28,599, $12,543 for office and telephone, $220,000 in management and consulting fees, $458,333 of stock option compensation, $5,000 for marketing expenses.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, our General and Administrative expenses primarily included the following: filing fees and bank charges of $7,122, $6,157 in advertising fees, $4,975 in automobile expenses, $855,515 in consulting fees, $108,373 for office and telephone, $46,147 investor relations expense, $204,000 in management fees, $34,839 for rent, $81,935 for marketing, professional fees of $200,226, salaries of $242,334, stock option compensation expense of $822,740, and $90,887 for exploration expenses.
On May 1, 2005 we issued options to acquire 5,000,000 shares at $0.001 per share to Bruno Weiss, our Chief Financial Officer and options to acquire 5,000,000 shares at $0.001 per share to Norman Meier, our President and Chief Executive Officer. The options were intended as compensation for five years of service, and we do not intend to issue more options to Weiss and Meier until May 2010. The options vested immediately, and are valid for a period of five years from the date of grant. These terms of the options were required by Weiss and Meier at the time they entered into the option agreements and agreed to provide services to us, and we determined that it was necessary to agree to these terms in order to retain the services of Mr. Meier and Mr. Weiss. Performance will be reviewed and additional rewards will be determined in May 2010, after the options expire.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On September 30, 2006 we had cash or cash equivalents of $1,223,245 compared to $199,814 at June 30, 2006 and $327,049 as of December 31, 2005. We had working capital of $939,134 as of September 30, 2006, compared to $280,173 as of December 31, 2005.
In order to exercise our option in the Santa Rita Property we must spend at least $950,000 in exploration expenses prior to June 18, 2009 and we must issue 200,000 shares of our common stock prior to June 18, 2009 as follows:
- $200,000 and 25,000 common shares by June 18, 2007;
- additional $300,000 and additional 75,000 common shares by June 18, 2008; and
- additional $450,000 and additional 100,000 common shares by June 18, 2009.
To exercise our option to acquire a 67.5% interest in the El Tigre and Porvenir properties, we were required to pay at least $15,000 by January 30, 2006, which we did, and we must spend at least another $200,000 prior to July 2, 2007.
To exercise our option to acquire the first 70% of the La Centela mineral claim, we must spend at least $550,000 and issue 125,000 common shares by October 5, 2008, and a further $1,950,000 and 350,000 common shares by October 5, 1020, within the following time periods and as follows:.

If we do not make the specified annual expenditures, we will forfeit our rights to exercise the options. As of September 12, 2006, we have enough money in our bank accounts to cover all of our required payments over the next 24 months on our option agreements.
Since our inception on February 9, 2005 to September 30, 2006 we raised net proceeds of $3,052,771 from the sale of common stock and stock subscriptions.
On November 14, 2006 we issued 900,000 common shares to Hudson Capital Corporation as a bonus. The bonus was awarded in part as compensation to Hudson Capital to agree to remove the specific targets and entitled to stock bonuses based on corporate milestones as set out in a consulting agreement dated May 1, 2006 and also to compensate Hudson Capital for certain services it provided in October and November 2006, including introduction to German newsletter writers, research analysts and corporate communications consultants. The shares were issued at $0.95 per share, the fair market value at the time of the issuance.
Plan of Operations
As of September 30, 2006, we had approximately $1,223,000 in our bank accounts. This is an increase of $896,000 from December 31, 2005. Our cash balance increased as a result of capital that we raised, less expenses we paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2006. During this period we raised $2,378,570 in capital through private placements to non U.S. residents that were exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. During the third quarter of 2006 and as of December 6, 2006, we raised capital pursuant to the following share issuances:
Date of Issuance | Number of Common Shares Sold | Price per Share | Total Proceeds |
August 1, 2006 | 1,033,730 | $0.75 | $ 775,298 |
September 2006 | 961,428 | $0.75 | $ 721,071 |
October 3 – 19, 2006 | 258,000 | $0.75 | $ 193,500 |
October 23, 2006 | 357,420 | $0.95 | $ 339,549 |
November 14, 2006 | 52,614 | $0.75 | $ 39,460 |
November 14, 2006 | 270,560 | $0.95 | $ 257,032 |
November 20, 2006 | 74,968 | $0.95 | $ 71,220 |
December 4, 2006 | 15,789 | $0.95 | $ 15,000 |
December 4, 2006 | 500,000 | $1.20 | $ 600,000 |
Total: | | | $ 3,012,130 |
As outlined in the table, on November 14, 2006, we issued 52,614 common shares at $0.75 per share to two investors for proceeds of $39,460. The two investors signed the subscription agreements and paid for the shares in August 2006 but there was an administrative error which delayed the issuance of the shares until November 14, 2006. On December 4, 2006 we issued 15,789 shares at $0.95 per share. The investor paid for the stock by November 2, 2006, but due to an administrative delay, we did not issue the shares until December 4, 2006.
We expect to require approximately an additional $607,000 in financing to continue our planned operations for the next year to cover the following expenses:
Description of Expense | Planned Exploration Expenditures |
Exploration of Santa Rita Property | $300,000 |
Exploration of El Tigre Property | $500,000 |
Exploration of Porvenir Property | $50,000 |
Exploration of La Centela Property | $ 230,000 |
Payment towards acquisition of La Centela mining rights | $ 50,000 |
Obtaining interests in other mining rights | $200,000 |
General and Administrative Expenses | $500,000 |
Total | $1,830,000 |
If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our exploration activities and administrative expenses in order to be
— 52 —
within the amount of capital resources that are available to us. Specifically, we anticipate that we would defer drilling programs pending our obtaining additional financing. Given our plan to scale back our operations if we do not achieve additional financing, we anticipate that our current cash and working capital will be sufficient to enable us to sustain our operations and our interests in our mineral properties for the next twelve months.
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive 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.
Future Financings
We will require additional financing in order to proceed with the exploration of our mineral properties. We plan to complete private placement sales of our common stock in order to raise the funds necessary to pursue our plan of operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. We currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any private placement financings.
We are currently offering common shares for sale through an offering pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act to non US persons. The sale price per common share that we are currently negotiating is $0.95.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements are impacted by the accounting policies used and the estimates and assumptions made by management during their preparation. A complete summary of these policies is included in Note A of the notes to our historical consolidated financial statements. We have identified below the accounting policies that are of particular importance in the presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows and which require the application of significant judgment by management.
Mineral Properties and Exploration Costs
Mineral property interests are composed of mineral properties owned by us and rights to ownership of mineral properties which we can earn through cash or share payments, incurring exploration expenditures and combinations thereof. We account for our mineral property
— 53 —
interests whereby all acquisition and exploration costs are charged to expense as incurred, and all property sales and option proceeds received are credited to operations. When the existence of a mineral reserve on a property has been established, future acquisition, exploration and development costs will be capitalized for that property. After commercial production on a property commences, the net capitalized costs will be charged to future operations using the unit of production method based on estimated recoverable reserves on the property. Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value is charged to operations at the time of impairment. Should a property be abandoned, its unamortized capitalized costs are charged to operations.
Stock Based Compensation
Prior to the January 1, 2006 adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), the Company accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Accordingly, because the stock option grant price equaled the market price on the date of grant, and any purchase discounts under the Company’s stock purchase plans were within statutory limits, no compensation expense was recognized by the Company for stock-based compensation. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), stock-based compensation was included as a pro forma disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2006, the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal quarter of 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense was recognized in the consolidated financial statements for granted, modified, or settled stock options. Compensation expense recognized included the estimated expense for stock options granted on and subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R, and the estimated expense for the portion vesting in the period for options granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. Results for prior periods have not been restated, as provided for under the modified-prospective method.

Market For Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
Market Information
Our common stock is not traded on any exchange. We plan to eventually seek listing on the OTC Bulletin Board, once our Prospectus has been declared effective by the Commission. We cannot guarantee that we will obtain a listing. There is no trading activity in our securities and there can be no assurance that a regular trading market for our common stock will ever be developed.
A market maker sponsoring a company's securities is required to obtain a listing of the securities on any of the public trading markets, including the OTC Bulletin Board. Spartan Securities has submitted an application on our behalf for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. Even though we have located a market maker, there is no assurance that our securities will be able to meet the requirements for a quotation or that the securities will be accepted for listing on the OTC Bulletin Board.
The OTC Bulletin Board securities are not listed and traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTC Bulletin Board securities transactions are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTC Bulletin Board stocks are traditionally smaller companies that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
As of December 6, 2006, there were 151 holders of record of our common stock.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Hemis Corporation.
Las Vegas, NV
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Hemis Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”), an exploration stage company, as of December 31, 2005, and the related consolidated statement of losses, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from February 9, 2005 (date of inception) to December 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 upon our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from February 9, 2005 (date of inception) to December 31, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note I, the Company has not established a source of revenue and has suffered substantial losses from operations since inception, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note I. The accompanying statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.
Business and Basis of Presentation
Hemis Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 9, 2005. On May 16, 2005, the Company incorporated Hemis Gold S.A. de C.V., a wholly owned subsidiary in Mexico. On June 14, 2005, the Company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada a wholly owned subsidiary, Aurum Financial Services, Inc. At December 31, 2005 Aurum Financial Services, Inc. was dormant. The Company was organized for the purpose of acquiring and developing gold, silver and other mineral properties. At December 31, 2005, the Company had entered into several agreements to acquire mineral claims with unknown reserves. The Company has not established the existence of a commercially minable ore deposit and therefore has not reached the development stage and is considered to be in the exploration stage.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hemis Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Aurum Financial Services, Inc. and Hemis Gold S.A. de C.V. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of operating funds held in financial institutions and funds held by an entity partially owned and controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and principal shareholder. The amount of funds held by the Chief Executive Officer at December 31, 2005 was $14,060 and included in the cash and cash equivalents. The funds are used to pay for the Company's miscellaneous services and supplies.
Cash Held in Trust
At December 31, 2005, the Company had $45,000 of cash held in a lawyer's trust account and the Company’s lawyer has authority to use the funds to pay legal bills, consulting fees, and expenses. There was no formal escrow agreement, and the President of the Company has the authority to allocate the trust funds and to withdraw the funds from trust at any time. The Company has excluded the $45,000 from its cash and cash equivalents and accounted for as a current asset.
Income Taxes
The Company has implemented the provisions on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (“SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 requires that income tax accounts be computed using the liability method. Deferred taxes are determined based upon the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of currently enacted tax laws.

DECEMBER 31, 2005 |
NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Net Earnings (Losses) Per Common Share
The Company computes earnings per share under Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128). Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares and the exercise of the Company's stock options and warrants (calculated using the treasury stock method). During the period February 9, 2005 (date of inception) to December 31, 2005, common stock equivalents are not considered in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding because they would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Research and Development
The Company accounts for research and development costs in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2 (“SFAS 2”), “Accounting for Research and Development Costs.” Under SFAS 2, all research and development costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party research and developments costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. Company-sponsored research and development costs related to both present and future products are expensed in the period incurred. The Company incurred no expenditures on research and product development for the period from February 9, 2005 (date of inception) to December 31, 2005.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company translates the foreign currency financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation.” Assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates in effect during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component in stockholder’s equity. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the statement of operations.
Mineral Properties and Exploration Costs
Mineral property interests are composed of mineral properties owned by the Company and rights to ownership of mineral properties which the Company can earn through cash or share payments, incurring exploration expenditures and combinations thereof. The Company accounts for its mineral property interests whereby all acquisition and exploration costs are charged to expense as incurred, and all property sales and option proceeds received are credited to operations. When the existence of a mineral reserve on a property has been established, future acquisition, exploration and development costs will be capitalized for that property. After commercial production on a property commences, the net capitalized costs will be charged to future operations using the unit of production method based on estimated recoverable reserves on the property. Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value is charged to operations at the time of impairment. Should a property be abandoned, its unamortized capitalized costs are charged to operations. As of December 31, 2005, all mineral claim costs of carrying, retaining and developing unproven properties were charged to operations in the period incurred.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Mineral Property Reclamation Obligations
The operations of the Company have been and may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degree by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. The likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company are not predictable. The Company will provide for any reclamation costs in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not currently exposed to significant environmental and reclamation liabilities and has recorded no reserve for environmental and reclamation expenditures.
Liquidity
To date the Company has generated no revenues, has incurred expenses, and has sustained losses. As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,237,203 from February 9, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005. The Company’s has working capital surplus of $280,173 as of December 31, 2005. The Company’s operations are subject to all risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income”. SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. SFAS No. 130 requires other comprehensive income (loss) to include foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Stock Based Compensation
In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148 (“SFAS No. 148”), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure-an amendment of SFAS 123." This statement amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this statement amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation expense for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the exercise price of the related option. The Company has adopted the annual disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 in its financial reports for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company has no awards of stock-based employee compensation issued and outstanding at December 31, 2005.
Except for transactions with employees that are within the scope of Opinion 25, the Company follows SFAS No. 123 and EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The Company determines the measurement date and period(s) the Company should use to recognize the fair value of the equity instruments in accordance with SFAS 123 and EITF Issue 96-18. Situations in which counterparty performance may be required over a period of time but the equity award granted to the party performing the services is fully vested and nonforfeitable on the date the parties enter into the contract, the measurement date for the award will be the date the parties enter into the contract, even though services have not yet been performed.

Had compensation costs for the Company's stock options been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for the awards, the Company's net loss and losses per share would have been as follows:

Basic (and assuming dilution) loss per share – Pro forma | $ | (0.16 | ) |
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123R (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". Statement 123R supersedes APB opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and amends FASB Statement No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows". Generally, the approach in Statement 123R is similar to the approach described in Statement 123. However, Statement 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. Pro-forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. On April 14, 2005, the SEC amended the effective date of the provisions of this statement. The effect of this amendment by the SEC is that the Company will have to comply with Statement 123R and use the Fair Value based method of accounting no later than the first quarter of 2006.
Segment Information
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” (“SFAS 131”) establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. SFAS 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions how to allocate resources and assess performance. The information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial information related to the Company’s principal operating segment.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. When retired or otherwise disposed, the related carrying value and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. For financial statement purposes, property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the declining balance method of 20% for office equipment and 30% for Computer equipment. The property and equipment will be depreciated over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Long-Lived Assets
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 (“SFAS 144”). The Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted discounted cash flows. Should an impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. SFAS No. 144 also requires assets to be disposed of be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or the fair value less costs to sell.
Revenue Recognition
The Company is in exploration stage and has not generated any revenues as of December 31, 2005. The Company will recognize revenues pursuant to the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104,Revenue Recognition, revenue will be recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred through an irrevocable transfer of metals to customers’ accounts or physical delivery of metals, the price is fixed or determinable, no obligations remain and collectibility is probable. Under the terms of certain sales contracts and purchase orders received from customers, the Company will recognize revenue when the product is in a refined and saleable form and title passes, which is typically when the product is transferred from the account of the Company to the account of the customer. Under certain of its sales agreements, the Company may instruct a third-party refiner to transfer metal from the Company’s account to the customer’s account; at this point, the Company’s account at the third party refinery is reduced and the purchaser’s account is increased by the number of ounces of metal sold. These transfers are irrevocable and the Company has no further responsibility for the delivery of the metals. Under other sales agreements, physical conveyance may occur by the Company arranging for shipment of metal from the third party refinery to the purchaser. In these cases, revenue is recognized at the point when delivery occurs and title passes to the purchaser. Sales discounts will be recognized when the related revenue is recorded. The Company will classify any cash sales discounts as a reduction in revenue. Sales of metals products sold directly to smelters will be recorded when title and risk of loss transfer to the smelter at current spot metals prices. Recorded values will be adjusted monthly until final settlement. Sales of metal in products tolled, rather than sold to smelters, will be recorded at contractual amounts when title and risk of loss transfer to the buyer.
Advertising
The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expenses as incurred. The Company incurred no advertising costs for the period from February 9, 2005 (date of inception) to December 31, 2005.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and related party receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company periodically reviews its trade receivables in determining its allowance for doubtful accounts.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143,” which requires an entity to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of FIN 47 no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of this Interpretation to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2005 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements for changes in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle, such as a change in non-discretionary profit-sharing payments resulting from an accounting change, should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after the date this Statement is issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of this SFAS to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On February 16, 2006 the FASB issued SFAS 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments,” which amends SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” SFAS 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS 133 and SFAS 140. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect its adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets – an amendment to FASB Statement No. 140. Statement 156 requires that an entity recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a service contract under certain situations. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect its adoption of this new standard to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

During the period from February 9, 2005 (date of inception) through December 31, 2005, the Company granted an aggregate of 10,000,000 stock options to its officers in exchange for services provided and to be provided over the period of 5 years pursuant to the option agreements. The Company concluded that these officers were not employees as defined under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)123: Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and under the definition of common law and Internal Revenue Service regulations, Revenue Rulings 57-246, 68-597 and 87-41, and the Internal Revenue Services' Employment Tax Handbook. The exercise prices of the stock options were at par. The options vested in full at grant and are exercisable anytime within 5 years from the grant date. The options granted are intended to retain the services of these officers over a five-year service period, and the Company does not intend to issue more options to these officers until the 5-year service term expires in year 2010, at which time the performance will be reviewed and additional rewards will be determined. The Company accounted for the stock options granted at the fair value of the Company's common stock, and recorded deferred compensation costs in the amount of $5,500,000 and a reduction of stockholders' equity. The deferred compensation costs are amortized over the 5-year period of services to be provided by the officers. Compensation expense of $733,333 was charged to operations during the year ended December 31, 2005. Should the officers terminate the service agreements within 5 years, the Company has no rights to cancel the options issued and will charged all unamortized costs to operations at that time. The terms of these options were required by the officers at the time the option and service agreements were entered into, and the Company determined that it was necessary to agree to these terms in order to retain the services of the officers.
NOTE F – INCOME TAXES
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant. For income tax reporting purposes, the Company’s aggregate unused net operating losses approximate $1,237,203 which expires through 2025, subject to limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. The deferred tax asset related to the carryforward is approximately $420,000. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, because in the opinion of management based upon the earning history of the Company, it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized. Components of deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2005 are as follows:

NOTE G – LOSSES PER COMMON SHARE
The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted loss per share:
| | For the period from February 9, 2005 (date of | |
| | inception) through December 31, 2005 | |
Net loss available for common shareholders | $ | (1,237,203 | ) |
Basic and fully diluted loss per share | $ | (0.16 | ) |
Weighted average common shares outstanding | | 7,891,803 | |
At times the Company did not issue shares immediately when subscribed because the Company was conducting a review on the investors and to ensure that all the shares were paid for. The Company accounted for these shares as common stock subscription payable, until the completion of the review and the shares are actually issued. These common shares subscribed are entitled to participate in dividends. In accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)128: Earnings per Share, the Company has included the common shares subscribed in the computation of basic loss per share.
During the period February 9, 2005 (date of inception) to December 31, 2005, common stock equivalents are not considered in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding because they would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per common share.

NOTE I – GOING CONCERN MATTERS (Continued)
The Company's existence is dependent upon management's ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems. Management anticipates the Company will attain profitable status and improve its liquidity through the strategic acquisition of businesses and continued business development, and additional equity investment in the Company. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
In order to improve the Company’s liquidity, the Company is actively pursuing additional equity financing through discussions with investment bankers and private investors. There can be no assurance the Company will be successful in its effort to secure additional equity financing.
If operations and cash flows continue to improve through these efforts, management believes that the Company can continue to operate. However, no assurance can be given that management’s actions will result in profitable operations or the resolution of its liquidity problems.

General
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Rule 310(b) of Regulation S-B, and therefore, do not include all the information necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2006. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's SEC Form SB-2.
Business and Basis of Presentation

Operating results for the discontinued operations are described in Note G. In June 2006 the Company incorporated under the laws of Philippines a wholly owned subsidiary, Hemis Philippines Corporation.

NOTE A-SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of operating funds held in financial institutions and funds held by an entity partially owned and controlled by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and principal shareholder. The amount of funds held by the Chief Executive Officer at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was $187,098 and $14,060, respectively, and included in the cash and cash equivalents. The funds are used to pay for the Company's miscellaneous services and supplies.
Cash Held in Trust
At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had $25,803 and $45,000, respectively, of cash held in a lawyer's trust account and the Company’s lawyer has authority to use the funds to pay legal bills, consulting fees, and expenses. There was no formal escrow agreement, and the President of the Company has the authority to allocate the trust funds and to withdraw the funds from trust at any time. The Company has excluded the cash held in trust from its cash and cash equivalents and accounted for as a current asset.
Mineral Properties and Exploration Costs
Mineral property interests are composed of mineral properties owned by the Company and rights to ownership of mineral properties which the Company can earn through cash or share payments, incurring exploration expenditures and combinations thereof. The Company accounts for its mineral property interests whereby all acquisition and exploration costs are charged to expense as incurred, and all property sales and option proceeds received are credited to operations. When the existence of a mineral reserve on a property has been established, future acquisition, exploration and development costs will be capitalized for that property. After commercial production on a property commences, the net capitalized costs will be charged to future operations using the unit of production method based on estimated recoverable reserves on the property. Mineral properties are periodically assessed for impairment of value and any diminution in value is charged to operations at the time of impairment. Should a property be abandoned, its unamortized capitalized costs are charged to operations. As of September 30, 2006, all mineral claim costs of carrying, retaining and developing unproven properties were charged to operations in the period incurred.
Mineral Property Reclamation Obligations
The operations of the Company have been and may in the future be affected from time to time in varying degree by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future removal and site restoration costs. The likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company are not predictable. The Company will provide for any reclamation costs in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations”. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not currently exposed to significant environmental and reclamation liabilities and has recorded no reserve for environmental and reclamation expenditures.

NOTE A-SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Stock Based Compensation
Prior to the January 1, 2006 adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), the Company accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. As permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), stock-based compensation was included as a pro forma disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company had no employee stock based compensation issued and outstanding prior to January 1, 2006.
Effective January 1, 2006, the beginning of the Company’s first fiscal quarter of 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense is recognized in the consolidated financial statements for granted, modified, or settled stock options. Compensation expense recognized included the estimated expense for stock options granted on and subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R, and the estimated expense for the portion vesting in the period for options granted prior to, but not vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. Results for prior periods have not been restated, as provided for under the modified-prospective method. The Company had no employee stock based compensation issued and outstanding at September 30, 2006.
Except for transactions with employees that are within the scope of Opinion 25, the Company follows SFAS No. 123R and EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The Company determines the measurement date and period(s) the Company should use to recognize the fair value of the equity instruments in accordance with SFAS 123R and EITF Issue 96-18. Situations in which counterparty performance may be required over a period of time but the equity award granted to the party performing the services is fully vested and nonforfeitable on the date the parties enter into the contract, the measurement date for the award will be the date the parties enter into the contract, even though services have not yet been performed.
Revenue Recognition
The Company is in exploration stage and has not generated any revenues as of December 31, 2005. The Company will recognize revenues pursuant to the guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104,Revenue Recognition, revenue will be recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred through an irrevocable transfer of metals to customers’ accounts or physical delivery of metals, the price is fixed or determinable, no obligations remain and collectibility is probable. Under the terms of certain sales contracts and purchase orders received from customers, the Company will recognize revenue when the product is in a refined and saleable form and title passes, which is typically when the product is transferred from the account of the Company to the account of the customer. Under certain of its sales agreements, the Company may instruct a third-party refiner to transfer metal from the Company’s account to the customer’s account; at this point, the Company’s account at the third party refinery is reduced and the purchaser’s account is increased by the number of ounces of metal sold. These transfers are irrevocable and the Company has no further responsibility for the delivery of the metals. Under other sales agreements, physical conveyance may occur by the Company arranging for shipment of metal from the third party refinery to the purchaser. In these cases, revenue is recognized at the point when delivery occurs and title passes to the purchaser. Sales discounts will be recognized when the related revenue is recorded. The Company will classify any cash sales discounts as a reduction in revenue. Sales of metals products sold directly to smelters will be recorded when title and risk of loss transfer to the smelter at current spot metals prices. Recorded values will be adjusted monthly until final settlement. Sales of metal in products tolled, rather than sold to smelters, will be recorded at contractual amounts when title and risk of loss transfer to the buyer.

In May 2005, the Company granted an aggregate of 10,000,000 stock options to its officers in exchange for services provided and to be provided over the period of 5 years pursuant to the option agreements. The Company concluded that these officers were not employees as defined under Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)123 R: Share Based Payments and under the definition of common law and Internal Revenue Service regulations, Revenue Rulings 57-246, 68-597 and 87-41, and the Internal Revenue Services’ Employment Tax Handbook. The exercise prices of the stock options granted were at par. The options vested in full at grant and are exercisable anytime within 5 years from the grant date. The options granted are intended to retain the services of these officers over a five-year service period, and the Company does not intend to issue more options to these officers until the 5-year service term expires in year 2010, at which time the performance will be reviewed and additional rewards will be determined. The Company accounted for the stock options at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. Deferred compensation cost in the amount of $5,500,000 was recorded as a reduction of stockholders’ equity and will be amortized over the 5-year period of services to be provided by the officers. Compensation expense of $822,740 and $458,333 was charged to operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005, respectively. Should the officers terminate the service agreements within 5 years, the Company has no rights to cancel the options issued and will charged all unamortized costs to operations at that time. The terms of these options were required by the officers at the time the option and service agreements were entered into, and the Company determined that it was necessary to agree to these terms in order to retain the services of the officers.
In January 2006, the Company granted an aggregate of 50,000 stock options to a consultant in exchange for services rendered. The estimated value of the stock options vested during the period ended September 30, 2006 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions: expected option life of 5 years, a risk free interest rate of 5.125%, a dividend yield of 0% and volatility of 208%. Compensation expense of $26,845 was charged to operations during the period ended September 30, 2006.

Undertakings
Hemis hereby undertakes:
1. | to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Prospectus to: |
| | |
| | include any Prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
| | |
| | reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Prospectus (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Prospectus; and |
| | |
| | include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Prospectus or any material change to such information in the Prospectus; |
| | |
2. | that for determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new Prospectus of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering; and |
| | |
3. | to file a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933, 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 persons in 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 of 1933, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
— 62 —
Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
