Summary
Prospective investors are urged to read this prospectus in its entirety.
We are in the business of mineral property exploration. To date, we have only conducted initial exploration on our sole exploration property, known as the Big Mike property, which is located approximately six miles south of the town of Stewart, British Columbia and Hyder, Alaska, in the Skeena Mining Division in northern British Columbia, Canada. This initial exploration was comprised of the inspection conducted by Mr. Timmins for his report. We acquired a 100% interest in the Big Mike property from Gudmund Lovang of North Vancouver, British Columbia.
Our objective is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Big Mike property in order to assess whether it possesses economic reserves of gold and silver. We have not yet identified any minerals on the Big Mike property. Our proposed exploration program is designed to search for an economically feasible mineral deposit.
The report of our independent accountant to our audited financial statements for the period ended April 30, 2005 indicates that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to raise additional capital during the next twelve months.
We were incorporated on February 9, 2005, under the laws of the state of Nevada. Our principal offices are located at 595 Howe Street, Suite 902, Vancouver, British Columbia Canada V6C 2T5. Our telephone number is (604) 484-3704.

Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete all intended exploration of the Big Mike property, and therefore we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. We recently commenced operations and we have no income. As well, we will not receive any funds from this registration.
Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of the Big Mike property. As of July 31, 2005, we have $39,000 in cash. While we have sufficient funds to conduct the recommended phase one exploration program on the claim, which is estimated to cost $25,300, we will need additional funds to complete the phase two program, which is estimated to cost $70,950. Even after completing these two phases of exploration, we will not know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit.
We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues once exploration is complete. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and may not be able to find such financing if required.
BECAUSE WE HAVE ONLY RECENTLY COMMENCED BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.
We have only recently commenced exploration on the Big Mike property. Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. We were incorporated on February 9, 2005 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities and the acquisition of the Big Mike property. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to
6
undertake. These potential problems include unanticipated problems relating to exploration as well as additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.
Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from development of the Big Mike Property and the production of minerals from the claim, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations.
There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and it is doubtful that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
BECAUSE OF THE SPECULATIVE NATURE OF EXPLORATION OF MINING PROPERTIES, THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL RISK THAT OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. In general, the probability that an individual prospect every having reserves that meet the requirements of Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. In all probability, the Big Mike property does not contain any reserves and funds that we spend on exploration will be lost. As well, problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.
WE NEED TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN IF OUR BUSINESS IS TO SUCCEED. OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR HAS RAISED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
The report of our independent accountant to our audited financial statements for the period ended April 30, 2005 indicates that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such factors identified in the report are that we have no source of revenue and our dependence upon obtaining adequate financing. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely investors will lose all of their investment.
BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT DANGERS INVOLVED IN MINERAL EXPLORATION, THERE IS A RISK THAT WE MAY INCUR LIABILITY OR DAMAGES AS WE CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS.
The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
EVEN IF WE DISCOVER COMMERCIAL RESERVES OF PRECIOUS METALS ON THE BIG MIKE PROPERTY, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMMENCE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION.
The Big Mike property does not contain any known bodies of mineralization. If our exploration programs are successful in establishing gold and silver of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to place the Big Mike property into commercial production. We may not be able to obtain such financing.
BECAUSE OUR DIRECTORS OWN 53.88% OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, THEY COULD MAKE AND CONTROL CORPORATE DECISIONS THAT MAY BE DISADVANTAGEOUS TO OTHER MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS.
7
Our directors own approximately 53.88% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, they will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations, and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. They will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of our directors may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders.
BECAUSE BOTH OUR PRESIDENT AND CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICE HAVE OTHER BUSINESS INTERESTS, THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, CAUSING OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
Our president, Earl Hope, intends to devote approximately 15% of his business time providing his services to us and our Chief Financial Officer, Trevor Herbert, intends to devote approximately 10% of his business time providing his services to us.While both Mr. Hope and Mr. Herbert presently possess adequate time to attend to our interests, it is possible that the demands on Mr. Hope and Mr. Herbert from their other obligations could increase with the result that they would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business.
BECAUSE MANAGEMENT HAS NO EXPERIENCE IN MINERAL EXPLORATION, OUR BUSINESS HAS A HIGH RISK OF FAILURE.
Our offices and a majority of our directors do not have any technical training in the field of geology and specifically in the areas of exploring for, starting and operating a mine. As a result, we may not be able to recognize and take advantage of potential acquisition and exploration opportunities in the sector. As well, with no direct training or experience, our management may not be fully aware of the specific requirements related to working in this industry. Their decisions and choices may not be well thought out and our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success may suffer irreparable harm as a result.
IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DOES NOT DEVELOP, SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES.
There is currently no market for our common stock and no certainty that a market will develop. We currently plan find a market maker to apply for quotation of our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. There can be no assurance that a market maker will agree to file the necessary documents with the National Association of Securities Dealers, which operates the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board, nor can there be any assurance that such an application for quotation will be approved or that a regular trading market will develop or that if developed, will be sustained. In the absence of a trading market, an investor may be unable to liquidate their investment.
SALES OF SHARES NOT REGISTERED IN THIS PROSPECTUS COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR STOCK PRICE.
In addition, to the shares being registered in this prospectus, there are an additional 4,000,000 million shares of our common stock outstanding. After April 26, 2005, these 4,000,000 shares will become available for resale to the public in accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144 of the Act. In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed 1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding which, in our case, will equal 72,440 shares as of the date of this prospectus. Sales of these shares by the shareholders owning these shares could have a negative impact on our stock price when and if our shares are approved to trade.
A PURCHASER IS PURCHASING PENNY STOCK WHICH LIMITS HIS OR HER ABILITY TO SELL THE STOCK.
The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, thus limiting investment liquidity. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in our company will be subject to rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
Please refer to the “Plan of Distribution” section for a more detailed discussion of penny stock and related broker-dealer restrictions.
Forward-Looking Statements

The percentages are based on 7,424,000 shares of common stock outstanding on the date of this prospectus.
None of the selling shareholders:
| (1) | has had a material relationship with us other than as a shareholder at any time within the past three years; |
|
| (2) | has ever been one of our officers or directors; or |
|
| (3) | is a broker-dealer or affiliate of a broker dealer. |
Plan Of Distribution
The selling shareholders may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions.
The selling shareholders will sell our shares at $0.05 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. We determined this offering price arbitrarily based upon the price of the last sale of our common stock to investors. The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 144.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock which are estimated to be $12,500. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.
The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other things:
| 1. | Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock; |
|
| 2. | Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and |
|
| 3. | Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Exchange Act. |
The Securities Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity
12
securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
| • | contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; |
| • | contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties; |
| • | contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; |
| • | contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
| • | defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and |
| • | contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format) as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation; |
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to proceeding with any transaction in a penny stock, the customer:
| • | with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; |
| • | details of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; |
| • | the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and |
| • | monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. |
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

Description Of Business
In General
We are an exploration stage company. We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover. We own a 100% interest in one mineral claim known as the Big Mike property. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the Big Mike property.
Mineral property exploration is typically conducted in phases. Each subsequent phase of exploration work is recommended by a geologist based on the results from the most recent phase of exploration. We have only recently commenced the initial recommended phase of exploration on the Big Mike property. Once we have completed each phase of exploration, we will make a decision as to whether or not we proceed with each successive phase based upon the analysis of the results of that program. Our directors will make these decisions based upon the recommendations of the independent geologist who oversees the program and records the results.
Our plan of operation is to conduct exploration work on the Big Mike property in order to ascertain whether it possesses economic quantities of gold and silver. There can be no assurance that an economic mineral deposit exists on the Big Mike property until appropriate exploration work is completed.
We currently have no equipment of infrastructure structure facilities on the property or any source of power. In addition, the property is currently without any known reserves. In the future we will contract for the necessary equipment or for generators if we cannot rely on the existing power lines. To date, the only exploration that has been conducted on the property is the work undertaken by the independent geologist in the preparation of his report.
Even if we complete our proposed exploration programs on the Big Mike property and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit.
Big Mike Property Purchase Agreement
On April 26, 2005, we entered into a mineral purchase and sale agreement with Gudmund Lovang of North Vancouver, British Columbia, whereby he sold to us a 100% undivided right title and interest in one mineral claim located in the Skeena Mining Division of British Columbia, Canada. We acquired this interest in the Big Mike property by paying $3,000 to Mr. Lovang.
Description, Location and Access
The Big Mike property is located on the eastern shore of the Portland Canal, about six miles south of the towns of Stewart, British Columbia and Hyder, Alaska, in the Skeena Mining Division in northern British Columbia, Canada. It lies off a paved highway, approximately eight miles northeast of Hyder, Alaska, which is 40 miles to the west of Meziadin Junction, via the Village of Kitwanga, some 94 miles to the south. The Portland Canal lies in the boundary between British Columbia, Canada and the Alaskan Panhandle, near the Pacific Ocean. The property lies approximately
17
3,000 feet above sea level from the rocky eastern shore of the Portland Canal, in a heavily forested area.

Climate and Topography
The property lies in an area of coastal forest rising steeply from the rocky eastern shore of the Portland Canal from sea level to 3,000 feet above sea level.
The wet coastal climate is predominant with heavy rainfall during spring and fall and heavy snowfall during the winter months. Depths of tens of feet of snow can accumulate over the winter.
Dense vegetation consisting of cedar, fir, spruce and hemlock covers the property and alder, shrubs and mosses can make footing difficult.
The property totals 61 acres and is covered with dense vegetation consisting of a mix of cedar, fir, spruce and hemlock trees as well as alder, shrubs and mosses. The area’s wet coastal climate is predominant with heavy rainfall during spring and fall and heavy snowfall during the winter months. Depths of tens of feet of snow can accumulate over the winter.
Mineralization
Mineralization is the accumulation of high concentrations of valuable elements, such as gold, silver and copper, in rock and soil.
The property is underlain by the following rock types:
Diorite: dark, granite-textured, crystalline rocks rich in sodium and calcium aluminum, as well as small quantities of quartz
Granodioritic rocks: rocks containing a combination of acid and alkaline
Andesites: volcanic rocks characteristically medium dark in color and containing 54 to 62 percent silica and moderate amounts of iron and magnesium
Siltstone: a fine-grained standstone
Slate: a metamorphic rock that splits into thin, smooth-surfaced layers. Metaphoric rocks are rocks that haveundergone a transformation from its original state due to pressure and/or heat.
The area of the Big Mike property is mapped as being underlain by Jurassic Age volcanic rocks and sedimentary rocks, intruded by plutonic complex granitic rocks, all of which are intruded by igneous dikes and quartz veins. Jurassic Age volcanic rocks are rocks that vary from 146 to 200 million years old. Plutonic granitic rocks are created when a mass of molten rock cools below the earth’s surface.
The main adit found on the Big Mike property was developed along a quartz vein along an east-trending fault in metaphoric rocks. An adit is an opening driven horizontally into a side of a hill or mountain in order to access rock within. The south adit is some 850 feet south of the main adit. Both adits are underlain with various metaphoric and volcanic rocks.

Title to the Big Mike property
The Big Mike property consists of one mineral claim comprising 61 acres. A “mineral claim” refers to a specific section of land over which a title holder owns rights to explore the ground and subsurface, and extract minerals. Title to the Big Mike property is registered in the name of Gudmund Lovang. He has provided us with an absolute bill of sale with respect to the property. An absolute bill of sale is a legal document that transfers registered title to mineral property rights from one party to another unconditionally. Mr. Lovang holds these claims on our behalf, however, based on the absolute bill of sale, Mr. Lovang does not retain any right to the claims. There are no underlying interests or interests in the property.
Claim details are as follows:
Claim Name | Record | Expiry Date |
| Number | |
Big Mike | 380857 | December 11, 2006 |
The claim was created on December 11, 2004 and is in good standing until December 11, 2006. This means that the claim will expire on December 11, 2006 unless we complete at least $100 worth of exploration work on the claim by that date. If this required exploration work is incurred, then the deadline is extended to December 11, 2007. In subsequent years, we must spend at least $200 on the claim to extend the expiry date by one year.
Exploration History
During 1925 and 1926, the Big Mike property was first staked and the main underground adit was excavated to a length of 115 feet along a quartz vein. Another underground adit of 100 feet long was excavated approximately 850 feet south of the main adit along a southeastern fault.
Mr. A.A. Davidson inspected the property in the 1920’s. Two samples taken from the vein along both adits contained some gold.
A program of geological, geophysical and geochemical surveying was carried out over a large area that included the Big Mike property during September and November 1986. Shangri-La Minerals Ltd. conducted the surveys for Alexa Ventures Inc. Results of the survey are not public.
Geological Report
We retained Mr. W. G. Timmins, a professional geologist, to complete an evaluation of the Big Mike property and to prepare a geology report on the claim.
Based on his review, Mr. Timmins concluded that the Big Mike property warrants further exploration due to the geochemistry and inferred geological continuity, as well as the lack of previous exploration.
Mr. Timmins recommends an initial exploration program consisting of two phases. The first phase would consist of staking additional mineral claims adjacent to the property in order to cover potential extensions of mineralization, trenching, stripping and sampling the open cut extension as well as clearing and rehabilitating the main underground adit. Trenching involves removing surface soil using a backhoe or bulldozer. Samples are then taken from the bedrock below and analysed for mineral content. Clearing an rehabilitating refers to removing rock and debris from an adit that has not been explored for some time.
The second phase would consist of drilling of the vein extension. Drilling involves extracting a long cylinder of rock from the ground to determine amounts of metals at different depths. Pieces of the rock obtained, known as drill core, are analysed for mineral content.
The first phase is estimated to cost $25,300 as described below. We anticipate the first phase of exploration will be complete in the autumn of 2005.

| | | $23,000 |
| | | |
| | Contingency | $ 2,300 |
| | | |
| | Total Cost Phase I: | $25,300 |
The second phase would consist of drilling of the vein extension as a precursor to the possibility of extending the adit. The second phase would cost approximately $70,950 as outlined below. We anticipate commencing the second phase of exploration in the spring of 2006. The program will take two months to complete.

*Mobilization is the physical movement of exploration and mining equipment and personnel to the site of proposed exploration. Demobilization is the physical movement of equipment and mining equipment and personnel from the site of proposed exploration after work is completed.
Compliance with Government Regulation
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in Canada generally, and in British Columbia specifically.
We will have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental mediation for all exploration and development work undertaken. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration program that will be undertaken beyond completion of the currently planned work programs. Because there is presently no information on the size, tenor, or quality of any resource or reserve at this time, it is impossible to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on earnings or our competitive position in the event a potentially economic deposit is discovered.
If we enter into production, the cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater than in the exploration phases because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of any production program if the project continues to that stage because of the potential impact on the environment. Examples of regulatory requirements include:
| - | Water discharge will have to meet water standards; |
|
| - | Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated; |
20
| - | Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and re- vegetated; |
|
| - | An assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to be environmentally benign; |
|
| - | Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants; |
|
| - | The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be re-mediated; and |
|
| - | There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora. |

Plan Of Operations
Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to complete the recommended phase one and two exploration programs on the Big Mike property consisting of trenching, stripping and geochemical sampling as well as diamond drilling of the second adit. We anticipate that these exploration programs will cost approximately $25,300 and $70,950 respectively.
We plan to commence the phase one exploration program on the Big Mike property in the late summer or fall of 2005. The program should take one to two months to complete. We will then undertake the phase two work program during the spring of 2006. This program will take approximately two months to complete. We do not have any verbal or written agreement regarding the retention of any qualified engineer or geologist for this exploration program.
As well, we anticipate spending an additional $20,000 on administrative fees, including fees payable in connection with the filing of this registration statement and complying with reporting obligations.
Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be $116,250.
While we have enough funds to cover the phase one exploration program and anticipated administrative fees, we will require additional funding in order to proceed with the phase two exploration program and any additional recommended exploration on the Big Mike property. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or from director loans. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing or loans.
We are not aware of any off-balance sheet arrangements which will have a current of future effect on our operations, financial conditions or capital expenditures or resources.
Results Of Operations For The Period From Inception Through April 30, 2005
We have not earned any revenues from our incorporation on February 9, 2005 to April 30, 2005. We do not anticipate earning revenues until we enter into commercial production on the Big Mike property. At this time there is substantial doubt about whether we will ever generate revenues from our operations. We have not completed the exploration stage of our business and can provide no assurance that we will discover economic mineralization on the Big Mike property, or if such minerals are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production.
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $7,474 for the period from our inception on February 9, 2005 to April 30, 2005. These operating expenses were comprised of exploration costs and expenses of $4,750, professional fees of $2,413, listing and filing fees of $200 and general and administrative expenses of $111.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Description Of Property
We own the mineral exploration rights relating to the Big Mike mineral property. We do not own or lease any other property.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of:
Riverbank Resources, Inc.
(A Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Riverbank Resources, Inc. (an exploration stage company) as of April 30, 2005 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from February 9, 2005 (inception) to April 30, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform 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 that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Riverbank Resources, Inc. (a exploration stage company) as of April 30, 2005 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from February 9, 2005 (inception) to April 30, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage with no operations and has a negative cash flow from operations of $4,876 from inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning this matter are also described in Note 4. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

RIVERBANK RESOURCES INC.
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF APRIL 30, 2005
NOTE 1 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION (A) Organization Riverbank Resources, Inc. (an exploration stage company) (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 9, 2005. The Company is a natural resource exploration company with an objective of acquiring, exploring and if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource properties. Activities during the development stage include developing the business plan and raising capital. (B) Use of Estimates In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (C) Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the cash flow statements, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. (D) Mineral Interest Pursuant to SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142, as amended by EITF 04-02, mineral interest associated with other than owned properties are classified as tangible assets. As of April 30, 2005, the Company had capitalized $3,000 related to the mineral rights. The mineral rights will be amortized using the units-of-production method when production at each project commences. (E) Long-Lived Assets The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 142 and 144 “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 142 and 144”). In accordance with SFAS No. 142 and 144, long-lived assets, goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF APRIL 30, 2005
| (F) Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement 109”). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. As of April 30, 2005, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $200 available to offset future taxable income through 2025. The valuation allowance at April 30, 2005 was $2,448. The net change in the valuation allowance for the period ended April 30, 2005 was an increase of $2,448. (G) Loss Per Share Basic and diluted net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” As of April 30, 2005, there were no common share equivalents outstanding. (H) Business Segments The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented. (I) Recent Accounting Pronouncements Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 151, “Inventory Costs – an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”” SFAS No. 152, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 66 and 67,” SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets – an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29,” and SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” were recently issued. SFAS No. 151, 152, 153 and 123 (revised 2004) have no current applicability to the Company and have no effect on the financial statements. NOTE 2 ACQUISITION OF MINERAL RIGHTS On April 26, 2005, the Company acquired the mining rights to one claim collectively known as the Big Mike Border Gold property located in the Skeeena Mining District of British Columbia, Canada, for a purchase price of $3,000. The Company received rights to all minerals contained in the Big Mike Border Gold property. |

NOTE 3 | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY During 2005, the Company issued 6,420,000 shares of common stock to its founders for cash of $6,420 ($0.001 per share). During 2005, the Company issued 1,004,000 shares of common stock for cash of $50,200 ($0.05 per share). NOTE 4 GOING CONCERN As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage with no operations and has a negative cash flow from operations of $4,876 from inception. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plans provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. |

Part II
Information Not Required In The Prospectus
Indemnification Of Directors And Officers
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes (the “NRS”) and our bylaws.
Under the NRS, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's articles of incorporation that is not the case with our articles of incorporation. Excepted from that immunity are:
| (1) | a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; |
|
| (2) | a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful); |
|
| (3) | a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and |
|
| (4) | willful misconduct. |
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless:
| (1) | such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law; |
|
| (2) | the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors; |
|
| (3) | such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law; or |
|
| (4) | such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws. |
Our bylaws provide that we will advance all expenses incurred to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was our director or officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request. This advanced of expenses is to be made upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts should it be ultimately determined that the person was not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.
26
Our bylaws also provide that no advance shall be made by us to any officer in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding; or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision- making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to our best interests.
