Summary
Prospective investors are urged to read this prospectus in its entirety.
We intend to be in the business of mineral property exploration. To date, we have not conducted any exploration on our sole exploration target, the Chambers Township mineral property located in the Sudbury Mining Division of north-eastern Ontario, Canada. We have the option to acquire a 100% interest, subject to a 3% net smelter royalty and a 2% gross overriding royalty on diamond production, in the Chambers Township mineral property from David Laronde of Temagami,Ontario.
Our objective is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Chambers Township property in order to assess whether it possesses economic reserves of copper, zinc and silver. We have not yet identified any economic mineralization on the Chambers Township property. Our proposed exploration program is designed to search for an economic mineral deposit.
We were incorporated on July 27, 2004, under the laws of the state of Nevada. Our principal offices are located at 13 Bastedo Crescent, P.O. Box 1526, Marathon, Ontario, Canada P0T 2E0. Our telephone number is (807) 625-6379.

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, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE PLANNED EXPLORATION ON THE CHAMBERS TOWNSHIP PROPERTY OR GENERATE REVENUE.
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete all intended exploration of the Chambers Township Property, and therefore we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. We currently do not have any 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 Chambers Township Property. While we have sufficient funds to conduct the recommended phase one and two exploration programs on the claim, which are estimated to cost $5,950 and $11,900 respectively, we will need additional funds to complete the phase three program, which is estimated to cost $131,750. Even after completing these three 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 NOT COMMENCED BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.
6
We have not yet commenced exploration on the Chambers Township Property. Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. We were incorporated on July 27, 2004 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities and the acquisition of the Chambers Township property. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.
Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from development of the Chambers Township 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. The likelihood of our mineral claim containing economic mineralization or reserves of gold is extremely remote. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. In all probability, the Chambers Township 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 June 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 CHAMBERS TOWNSHIP PROPERTY, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMMENCE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION.
The Chambers Township Property does not contain any known bodies of mineralization. If our exploration programs are successful in establishing valuable metals of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to place the Chambers Township Property into commercial production. We may not be able to obtain such financing.
IF WE BECOME SUBJECT TO BURDENSOME GOVERNMENT REGULATION, OR OTHER LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES, OUR BUSINESS MWILL BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED
There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral property exploration and development. These may result in increased business costs and delays in completing proposed exploration. Under the Mining Act of Ontario, to engage in certain types of exploration we will require work permits, the posting of bonds, and the performance of remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land. While these current laws do not affect our current exploration plans, if we proceed to commence drilling operations on the Shining Tree property, we will incur modest regulatory compliance costs.
In addition, the legal and regulatory environment that pertains to the exploration of mineral properties is uncertain and may change. Uncertainty and new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from exploring for ore deposits. The growth of demand for certain minerals may also be significantly slowed. This could delay growth in potential demand for and limit our ability to generate revenues. In addition to new laws and regulations being adopted, existing laws may be applied to mining that have not as yet been applied. These new laws may increase our cost of doing business with the result that our financial condition and operating results may be harmed.
7
BECAUSE OUR DIRECTORS OWN 51.55% OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, THEY COULD MAKE AND CONTROL CORPORATE DECISIONS THAT MAY BE DISADVANTAGEOUS TO OTHER MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS.
Our directors own approximately 51.55% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, they will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations, and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. They will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of our directors may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders.
BECAUSE OUR DIRECTORS 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 Mr. Gurminder Manhas and our treasurer, Mr. Victor Rafuse, intend to devote approximately 20% and10% of their business time to our affairs. Mr. Barr, one of our directors, intends to devote approximately 5% of his time to our affairs. It is possible that the demands on Mr. Manhas, Mr. Rafuse and Mr. Barr 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. In addition, Mr. Manhas, Mr. Rafuse and Mr. Barr may not possess sufficient time for our business if the demands of managing our business increase substantially beyond current levels.
IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DOES NOT DEVELOP, SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES.
There is currently no market for our common stock and no certainty that a market will develop. We currently plan to apply for listing of our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. Our shares may never trade on the bulletin board. If no market is ever developed for our shares, it will be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. In such a case, shareholders may find that they are unable to achieve benefits from their investment.
A PURCHASER IS PURCHASING PENNY STOCK WHICH LIMITS HIS OR HER ABILITY TO SELL THE STOCK.
The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, thus limiting investment liquidity. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in our company will be subject to rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
Please refer to the “Plan of Distribution” section for a more detailed discussion of penny stock and related broker-dealer restrictions.
Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us described in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Use Of Proceeds
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered through this prospectus by the selling shareholders.
Determination Of Offering Price
The selling shareholders will sell our shares at $0.20 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. There is no guarantee that our shares will be quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. We determined this offering price, based upon the price of the last sale of our common stock to investors.
Dilution
The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is common stock that is currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.
Selling Securityholders
The selling shareholders named in this prospectus are offering all of the 3,290,000 shares of common stock offered through this prospectus.

Each of the above shareholders beneficially owns and has sole voting and investment over all shares or rights to the shares registered in his or her name. The numbers in this table assume that none of the selling shareholders sells shares of common stock not being offered in this prospectus or purchases additional shares of common stock, and assumes that all shares offered are sold. The percentages are based on 6,790,000 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 $0.20 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. There is no guarantee that our shares will be quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. We determined this offering price arbitrarily based upon the price of the last sale of our common stock to investors. The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 144.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. These are estimated to be $9,000. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.
11
The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other things:
1. | Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock; |
2. | Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and |
3. | Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Exchange Act. |
The Securities Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
· | contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; |
· | contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties; |
· | contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; |
· | contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
· | defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and |
· | contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format) as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation; |
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to proceeding with any transaction in a penny stock, the customer:
· | with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; |
· | details of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; |
· | the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and |
· | monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. |
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

As well, Mr. Manhas was appointed as our president, secretary and chief executive officer and Mr. Rafuse was appointed as our treasurer.
Description Of Business
In General
We intend to commence operations as an exploration stage company. We will be engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover. We have an option to acquire a 100% interest in the 15 mineral claim units known as the Chambers Township property. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the Chambers Township property. We do not have any current plans to acquire interests in additional mineral properties, though we may consider such acquisitions in the future.
Mineral property exploration is typically conducted in phases. Each subsequent phase of exploration work is recommended by a geologist based on the results from the most recent phase of exploration. We have not yet commenced the initial phase of exploration on the Chambers Township 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 this decision 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 Chambers Township property in order to ascertain whether it possesses economic quantities of copper, zinc and silver. There can be no assurance that an economic mineral deposit exists on the Chambers Township property until appropriate exploration work is completed.
Even if we complete our proposed exploration programs on the Chambers Township 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.
Chambers Township Property Option Agreement
On July 6, 2005, we entered into a mineral purchase and sale agreement with David Laronde of Temagami, Ontario, whereby he granted the company an option to acquire a total of fifteen mining claim units located in the Sudbury Mining Division of Ontario, Canada. In order to exercise the option and acquire a 100% interest in these claims, we must pay to Mr. Laronde a total of $40,000 as follows:
- | $3,500 immediately upon execution of this agreement by all parties, which we paid; |
- | an additional $6,500 by July 6, 2006; |
- | an additional $10,000 by July 6, 2007; and |
- | an additional $20,000 by July 6, 2008. |
We must also incur exploration work totalling at least $145,000 by May 25, 2009 on the Clear Lake property as follows:
- | $6,000 in expenditures on the property by December 15, 2005; |
- | no less than a further $14,000 of expenditures to be incurred on the property by July 6, 2006; |
- | no less than a further $25,000 of expenditures to be incurred on the property by July 6, 2007; |
- | no less than a further $40,000 of expenditures to be incurred on the property by July 6, 2008; |
- | no less than a further $60,000 of expenditures to be incurred on the property by July 6, 2009. |
16
If we successfully exercise the option, our 100% interest will be subject to a 3% royalty interest in favour of David Laronde. A net smelter royalty is a percentage of the net amount of money that we would receive from the sale of minerals from the property to a smelter, less refining charges, penalties and transportation costs.
Description, Location and Access
The Chambers Township property is located in central Chambers Township, northeastern Ontario, approximately 12 km north northwest from the town of Temagami, and 95 km north northwest from the city of North Bay. Geographical coordinates for the southeast property corner are 79o 55.0' west longitude by 47o 05.5' north latitude. The NTS designation is 34 M/4. The property consists of a single, 15 unit, 240 hectare claim, numbered 3016019 that was recorded on December 19, 2003.
To acquire the 100% mineral rights to the claim Mobridge must make staged payments to Laronde totalling $40,000 by July 06, 2008, and undertake staged exploration expenses totalling $145,000 by July 06, 2009. Laronde retains a 3% net smelter royalty, of which 2% may be purchased by Mobridge at any time for $500,000 per 0.5%. In addition, Laronde retains a 2% gross overriding royalty on diamond production from the property.
To satisfy government assessment regulations, and thus keep the claim in good standing, minimum eligible exploration expenses of $400 per claim unit must be incurred and filed with the MNDM on or before the second anniversary date of the claim, and on or before every anniversary date thereafter. The due date for the Mobridge claim is December 23, 2005, by which time $6,000 must be incurred and filed.
The Chambers Township property is has no history of any previous development. Accordingly, there are no environmental liabilities attached thereto. The claim has not been surveyed.
The property is accessed by the Red Squirrel Lake Road, an all weather logging road, that departs westward from Highway 11 (a part of the Trans Canada Highway system) at a point just south of Temagami North, and continues across the north end of the claim. The road may or may not be accessible to vehicles during the winter months. Crash Lake and connecting waterways provide convenient access to all areas of the property.
The area experiences a temperate climate with moderate to long cold winters and short hot summers. Total precipitation is about 1,000 millimeters including some three to four meters as snowfall. Break-up or freeze-up conditions may impinge upon exploration activities, but normally exploration and mining are conducted year round.
Supplies and services required for both exploration and mining may be acquired in North Bay (100 road kilometers to the south-southeast), Sudbury (150 road kilometers to the south-southwest and Timmins (260 road kilometres to the north-northwest). A pool of professionals as well as skilled and semi-skilled labour for both exploration and mining activities, and accustomed to work in remote locales, exists in these centres and the local smaller communities. A railway line passes through Temagami, the nearest town with a population of about 1,200 and a former mining center. On the property, there is sufficient space for a mine, on site mill, all ancillary buildings and tailings pond. Several water bodies on the property and in the immediate area could supply an adequate amount of water for milling operations.
The Red Squirrel Lake Road is the only infrastructure on the property. Highway 11, the ONR rail line and a gas pipe line are all situated approximately 12 kilometers due east of the property, and a high voltage power line, part of the provincial grid, lies 14 kilometers to the east southeast.
Topography on the property and in the general area is modestly rolling. Elevation ranges from about 330 meters at Crash Lake to 370 meters at the property’s southeast corner. The area is generally well drained, but the west end of Crash Lake is swampy. Logging operations have been conducted in the past on the north portion of the claim. Principal species present include white and black spruce, red and white pine, balsam fir, balsam poplar and white birch.
17
Mineralization
No mineral deposits nor occurrences are currently known to exists on the Chambers Township property. Five VLF survey anomalies (two delineated by a ground survey and three by an airborne survey) that may be indicative of sulphide mineralization are known to exist on the property. VLF, or very low frequency surveys, use radio waves to determine whether rocks on a mineral property conduct electricity. Almost all of the precious and base metals that we seek are above average conductors of electricity and will affect VLF readings.
Exploration History
General
Chambers Township has been prospected since at least the 1890's. In 1898, significant deposits of iron ore were discovered in southern Chambers and Strathy Townships. The Nellem Lake area, located 1 - 2 km west of Crash Lake, has been prospected intermittently since 1934.
On May 8, 1978 a large potion of northeastern Ontario, including Chambers Township, was withdrawn from staking and prospecting due to a dispute over land ownership ( the Bear Island Indian Land Caution). The Caution was eventually lifted on September 17, 1996. While the Caution was in effect exploration within its boundaries was limited to patented or leased claims only.
Previously, several companies have conducted exploration activities on all or parts of the land now held under option by Mobridge. Records in the assessment files in the Kirkland Lake Resident Geologist’s office for exploration work performed on or in the immediate area of the property were reviewed, and are summarized below. To date, no mineral deposit has been delineated on the property, and consequently, there has been no production from the property nor any reserve or resource calculated.
1996 - 1999 | David Laronde |
Laronde’s eight claim (49 claim unit) property lay in an east / west band through the west central Chambers Township. The equivalent of about three units now comprise the north portion of Mobridge’s claim. Ground magnetometer, VLF-EM and horizontal loop (MaxMin) EM surveys were conducted initially at 200 m line spacings (grid lines oriented N/S). Later, the grid was tightened to 100 m line spacings in two areas including that portion now held by Mobridge, and the same geophysical surveys plus geological mapping and sampling were performed. Two electromagnetic anomalous zones, “G” & “H”, were detected by the VLF survey (only very weakly verified by the MaxMin survey) on what are now Mobridge lands but in an area underlain by granite. There are no records to indicate whether or not the anomalies were ever tested by drilling, trenching or any other means.
1997 | Wabana Exploration Inc. |
Wabana’s land package covered a large portion of east central Chambers Township including about two to three units along the east margin of the present Mobridge property. The entire property was flown with combined magnetic and electromagnetic instrumentation. Lines were flown north / south at nominal 100 meter line spacings. Three weak electromagnetic conductive zones were delineated beneath Crash Lake and elsewhere in the immediate vicinity. These may be attributable to sulphide zones, water saturated structures or overburden depressions. There are no records of any follow-up work having been performed.
1998 | Heritage Exploration |
Heritage held a 2 claim unit property covering the northern portion of Crash Lake in the central part of the current Mobridge property. The claims were mapped (reconnaissance mapping only), and 5 samples with up to 2% sulphides were collected. No assays were reported.

Geological Report
We retained Mr. James G. Burns B.Sc., P.Eng., a geologist based in Timmins, Ontario, to complete an evaluation of the Chambers Township property and to prepare a geology report on the claim.
Based on his review, Mr. Burns concludes that the Chambers Township property warrants further exploration due to the potential for base metal and gold mineralization on the property.
Mr. Burns recommends a three-phase exploration program for the Chambers Township Property. Phase I is to include gridding that portion of the property north of Crash Lake with north-south oriented lines cut at 100 meter intervals. This is to be followed by VLF-EM and magnetometer geophysical surveys in order to define structures and lithological contacts and to re-locate the VLF anomalies delineated previously by Laronde. Phase II entails the extension of the previously completed grid of cut lines on the south side of Crash Lake and VLF-EM and magnetometer surveys over the remainder of the property. In addition, all VLF-EM anomalies are to be screened with a MaxMin electromagnetic survey (utilizing a 300 meter coil separation) to determine which VLF anomalies are more probably due to sulphide mineralization. Phase III is contingent upon results from the first two phases. Electromagnetic anomalies defined in Phase I and enhanced in Phase II should be core drilled.

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 Ontario 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.
19
If we enter into production, the cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater than in the exploration phases because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of any production program if the project continues to that stage because of the potential impact on the environment. Examples of regulatory requirements include:
- | Water discharge will have to meet water standards; |
- | Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated; |
- | Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and re-vegetated; |
- | An assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to be environmentally benign; |
- | Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants; |
- | The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be re-mediated; and |
- | There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora. |
Employees
We have no employees as of the date of this prospectus other than our two directors.
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not incurred any other research or development expenditures since our incorporation.
Subsidiaries
We do not have any subsidiaries.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.
Reports to Security Holders
Although we are not required to deliver a copy of our annual report to our security holders, we will voluntarily send a copy of our annual report, including audited financial statements, to any registered shareholder who requests it. We will not be a reporting issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission until our registration statement on Form SB-2 is declared effective.
We have filed a registration statement on Form SB-2, under the Securities Act of 1933, with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the shares of our common stock offered through this prospectus. This prospectus is filed as a part of that registration statement, but does not contain all of the information contained in the registration statement and exhibits. Statements made in the registration statement are summaries of the material terms of the referenced contracts, agreements or documents of the company. We refer you to our registration statement and each exhibit attached to it for a more detailed description of matters involving the company, and the statements we have made in this prospectus are qualified in their entirety by reference to these additional materials.

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 Chambers Township property consisting of a geophysical survey, geological mapping, prospecting and rock sampling. We anticipate that these exploration programs will cost approximately $18,000. To date, we have not commenced exploration on the Chambers Township property.
We plan to commence the phase one exploration program on the Chambers Township property in the fall of 2005. The program should take approximately up to a one month to complete. We will then undertake the phase two work program during the summer of 2006. This program will take approximately one month 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 $10,000 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 $26,000.
While we have enough funds to cover these anticipated expenses, we will require additional funding in order to proceed with any additional recommended exploration on the Chambers Township property following the completion of the phase two program. 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.
Results Of Operations For The Period From Inception Through September 30, 2005
We have not earned any revenues from our incorporation on July 27, 2004 to September 30, 2005. We do not anticipate earning revenues unless we enter into commercial production on the Clear Lake property, which is doubtful. We have not commenced the exploration stage of our business and can provide no assurance that we will discover economic mineralization on the Chambers Township property, or if such minerals are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production.
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $17,180 for the period from our inception on July 27, 2004 to September 30, 2005. These operating expenses were comprised of mineral exploration costs of $6,474, professional fees of $5,325, rent costs of $2,925 and office and sundry costs of $2,456.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Description Of Property
We have an option to acquire a 100% interest in the mineral exploration rights relating to the Chambers Township. We do not own any real property interest in the Chamber Township property or any other property.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The Interim financial statements of Mobridge Explorations, Inc. (the Company) for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and for the period from July 27, 2004 (inception) to September 30, 2005 are not audited. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the requirements for unaudited interim periods, and consequently do not include all disclosures required to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2005 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and for the period July 27, 2004 (inception) to September 30, 2005.
The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year period.
2. | ORGANIZATION |
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 27, 2004. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7. The Company has acquired a mineral property located in the Province of Ontario, Canada and has not yet determined whether this property contains reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of property expenditures will be dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying property, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property agreement and upon future profitable production or proceeds for the sale thereof.
3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
a) | Basis of Presentation |
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Company’s fiscal year end is June 30.
b) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
c) | Mineral Property Costs |
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on July 27, 2004 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
d) | Use of Estimates and Assumptions |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
e) | Financial Instruments |
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and due to related parties approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
f) | Environmental Costs |
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to operations. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.
g) | Income Taxes |
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
h) | Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share |
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti dilutive.

i) | Stock Based Compensation |
The Company accounts for stock based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 - “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB No. 25) and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 - “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123). Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant between the estimated fair value of the Company’s stock and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Compensation expense is recognized immediately for past services and rateably for future services over the option vesting period.
j) | Comprehensive Loss |
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at September 30, 2005, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.
k) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.
4. | MINERAL PROPERTY |
Pursuant to a mineral property option agreement (the “Agreement”) dated July 6, 2005, the Company was granted an option to acquire a 100% undivided right, title and interest of a total of 15 mineral claim units, known as the Chambers Township claim block (the “Claim”), located in the Sudbury Mining Division of Ontario, Canada for:

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.
34
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.
