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, the Don Mineral Claim, located approximately four miles north of the small town of Youbo, British Columbia and forty miles northwest of the city of Victoria in the Victoria Mining District, British Columbia Canada. We acquired a 100% interest in the Don Mineral Claim from Joseph H. Montgomery, PhD, P.ENG of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on October 27, 2005 for the sum of $5,000 and 600,000 restricted shares of the Registrant’s common stock.
We are a development-stage company with limited prior business operations and no revenues. Our objective is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Don Mineral Claim in order to assess whether it possesses economic reserves of gold, copper and molybdenum. We have not yet identified any economic mineralization on the Don Mineral Claim. Our proposed exploration program is designed to search for an economic mineral deposit. Because of our limited operating history, you may not have adequate information on which you can base an evaluation of our business and prospects.
We were incorporated in the State of Colorado on January 19, 1999. Our principal offices are located at 400 – 7015 MacLeod Trail, South, Calgary, AB 2TH 2K6

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 Don Claim, and therefore we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. As at April 30, 2006, we had cash in the amount of $23,994. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income.
Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of the Don Claim. We do not currently have sufficient funds to conduct initial exploration on the claims and require additional financing in order to determine whether the claim contains economic mineralization. We will also require additional financing if the costs of the exploration of the Don Claim are greater than anticipated.
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 we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market prices for copper, silver and gold, investor acceptance of our claims and general market conditions. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.
The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders. The only other anticipated alternative for the financing of further exploration would be our sale of a partial interest in the Don Claim to a third party in exchange for cash or exploration expenditures, which is not presently contemplated.
Because We Have Not Commenced Business Operations, We Face A High Risk Of Business Failure.
Although we are preparing to commence exploration on the Don Claim in the autumn of 2006 we have not yet commenced exploration on the claim. Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. We were incorporated on January 19, 1999 and have been involved primarily in organizational activities seeking business opportunities. In September, 2005 we determined to research opportunities in the mineral exploration field and after investigating several situations, we negotiated the acquisition of our mineral claim. 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 encoun tered 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 Don Claim and the production of minerals from the claims, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations.
There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance 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. We can provide investors with no assurance that our mineral claims contain economic mineralization or reserves of copper, silver or gold. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. Our exploration of the Don Claim may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of base metals, silver or gold. 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.
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 Reserves Of Ore on The Don Claim, We May Not Be Able To Successfully Develop The Don Claim.
The Don Claim does not contain any known bodies of mineralization. If our exploration programs are successful in establishing minerals of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to further develop the claims. At this time, we cannot assure investors that we will be able to obtain such financing.
We Need To Continue As A Going Concern If Our Business Is To Succeed.
Our independent accountant’s report on our audited financial statements for the period ended September 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 our accumulated deficit since inception, our failure to attain profitable operations and our dependence upon obtaining adequate financing to pay our liabilities. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely investors will lose their investments.
If We Become Subject To Burdensome Government Regulation Or Other Legal Uncertainties, Our Business Will Be Negatively Affected.
There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral claims exploration and development. Under British Columbia mining law, to engage in certain types of exploration will require work permits, the posting of bonds, and the performance of remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land. While these current laws do not affect our current exploration plans, if we proceed to commence drilling operations on the Don Claim, we will incur modest regulatory compliance costs.
In addition, the legal and regulatory environment that pertains to the exploration of ore is uncertain and may change. Uncertainty and new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from exploring for ore deposits. The growth of demand for ore may also be significantly slowed. This could delay growth in potential demand for and limit our ability to generate revenues. In addition to new laws and regulations being adopted, existing laws may be applied to mining that have not as yet been applied. These new laws may increase our cost of doing business with the result that our financial condition and operating results may be harmed.
Because Management Has No Technical Experience In Mineral Exploration, Our Business Has A Higher Risk Of Failure.
Our director does not have any technical training in the field of geology. As a result, we may not be able to recognize and take advantage of potential acquisition and exploration opportunities in the sector without the aid of qualified geological consultants. 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 and ultimate financial success may suffer irreparable harm as a result.
Because Our Director Has Other Business Interests, He May Not Be Able Or Willing To Devote A Sufficient Amount Of Time To Our Business Operations, Causing Our Business To Fail.
Our president, Mr. Forzani intends to initially devote 10 hours per week to our business affairs. It is possible that the demands on Mr. Forzani from other obligations could increase with the result that he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. In addition, Mr. Forzani may not possess sufficient time for our business if the demands of managing our business increased 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 we can provide no assurance 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. However, we can provide investors with no assurance that our shares will be traded on the bulletin board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize. 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 Securities and 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, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment. 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 Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results are most likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us described in 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 $0.05 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, based upon the price of the last sale of our common stock to investors. There is no assurance of when, if ever, our stock will be listed on an exchange.
Dilution
The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is common stock that is currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.
Selling Shareholders
The selling shareholders named in this prospectus are offering all of the 2,070,000 shares of common stock offered through this prospectus. These shares were acquired from us in private placements that were exempt from registration under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. The shares include the following:

The named party beneficially owns and has sole voting and investment power over all shares or rights to these shares. The numbers in this table assume that none of the selling shareholders sells shares of common stock not being offered in this prospectus or purchases additional shares of common stock, and assumes that all shares offered are sold. The percentages are based on 3,170,000 shares of common stock outstanding on the date of this prospectus.
Other than as described above, none of the selling shareholders:
(1) has had a material relationship with us other than as a shareholder at any time within the past three years; or
(2) has ever been one of our officers or directors.
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. There is no assurance of when, if ever, our stock will be listed on an exchange.
The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 144.
The selling shareholders may also sell their shares directly to market makers acting as principals or brokers or dealers, who may act as agent or acquire the common stock as a principal. Any broker or dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive a commission from the selling shareholders, or, if they act as agent for the purchaser of such common stock, from such purchaser.
The selling shareholders will likely pay the usual and customary brokerage fees for such services. Brokers or dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share and, to the extent such broker or dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling shareholders, to purchase, as principal, any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the respective broker's or dealer's commitment to the selling shareholders.
Brokers or dealers who acquire shares as principals may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions in a market or on an exchange, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such re-sales may pay or receive commissions to or from the purchasers of such shares. These transactions may involve cross and block transactions that may involve sales to and through other brokers or dealers. The selling shareholders and any broker-dealer who execute sales for the selling shareholders may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.
None of the selling shareholders has any arrangement or agreement with any broker-dealer or underwriting firm to resell any shares on behalf of the selling shareholders.
If applicable, the selling shareholders may distribute shares to one or more of their partners who are unaffiliated with us. Such partners may, in turn, distribute such shares as described above. If these shares being registered for resale are transferred from the named selling shareholders and the new shareholders wish to rely on the prospectus to resell these shares, then we must first file a prospectus supplement naming these individuals as selling shareholders and providing the information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-B concerning the identity of each selling shareholder and he or her relationship to us. There is no agreement or understanding between the selling shareholders and any partners with respect to the distribution of the shares being registered for resale pursuant to this registration statement.
We can provide no assurance that all or any of the common stock offered will be sold by the selling shareholders.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. These are estimated to be $31,000. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.
The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other things:
1. Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock;
2. Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and
3. Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Securities Exchange Act.
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:
v
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
v
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 or other requirements;
v
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;
v
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
v
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
v
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 affecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with:
v
bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
v
the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
v
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
v
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 Securities
General
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001 per share and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock at a par value of $0.001 per share.
Common Stock
As of April 30, 2006, there were 3,170,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, held by 40 stockholders of record.
Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our articles of incorporation.
Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.
Preferred Stock
The Articles of Incorporation of High End Ventures, Inc. authorize the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value. The Board of Directors is authorized to issue preferred shares from time to time in series and is further authorized to establish such series, to fix and determine the variations in the relative rights and preferences as common stock. No preferred stock has been issued.
Dividend Policy
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Share Purchase Warrants
We have not issued and do not have outstanding any warrants to purchase shares of our common stock.
Options
We have not issued and do not have outstanding any options to purchase shares of our common stock.
Convertible Securities
We have not issued and do not have outstanding any securities convertible into shares of our common stock or any rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of our common stock.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis, or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, direct or indirect, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries. Nor was any such person connected with the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer, or employee.
Joseph I. Emas, our legal counsel, has provided an opinion on the validity of our common stock.
The financial statements included in this prospectus and the registration statement have been audited by Madsen &Associates CPAs, to the extent and for the periods set forth in their report appearing elsewhere in this document and in the registration statement filed with the SEC, and are included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.
Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Colorado Revised Statutes and our Bylaws. We have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of whether such indemnification is against public policy to court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court's decision.
Organization within Last Five Years
We were incorporated on January 19, 1999 under the laws of the state of Colorado. On that date, Thomas Forzani was appointed as our sole officer and director.
On August 16, 2005, Donald Thompson was appointed to our Board of Directors and elected Secretary/Treasurer and Chief Accounting Officer. Mr. Forzani retained the office of President and Chief Executive Officer.
Description of Business
In General
We intend to commence operations as an exploration stage mineral exploration company. As such, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our sole mineral claims interest, the Don Claim. Further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of the Don Claim is determined.
We will be engaged in the acquisition, and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover that demonstrate economic feasibility. We acquired a 100% undivided right, title and interest in and to a mineral claim #522106 (the Don Claim)comprised of 25 Units (1,167acres) located four miles north of Youbo, British Columbia. In order to acquire the claims, we paid US$5,000 and 600,000 restricted shares of our common stock for an assumed value of $17,000 to Joseph Montgomery, the vendor of the claim, in an arm’s length transaction.
Plan of Operation
Our plan of operation is to determine whether this Don Claim contains reserves of gold, molybdenum and/or copper that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts from the claim will be dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the claims agreement and to complete the development of the claims and upon future profitable production or proceeds for the sale thereof.
Even if we complete our proposed exploration programs on the Don Claim and they are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit.
Don Mineral Claim Purchase Agreement
On October 30, 2005, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Joseph Montgomery of Vancouver, British Columbia, whereby he agreed to convey to us a total of twenty-five units comprising Claim #522106 (1,167 acres) located approximately four miles north of Youbo, British Columbia and 44.4 miles northwest of Victoria, the capital of British Columbia.
Title to the Don Claim
The Don Claim consists of one mineral claim. A “mineral claim” refers to a specific section of land over which a title holder owns rights to exploration the ground. Such rights may be transferred or held in trust. The claims comprising the Don Claim are registered 100% in the name of Thomas Forzani, our President and CEO who holds the claim in trust for our benefit. These claims will only be valid as long as we spend a minimum of $ 8,000 in exploration work on or before November 7, 2006 and every year thereafter. Alternatively, we may pay the same amount per claims in cash to the British Columbia government in order to maintain the claims in good standing.
If Thomas Forzani as trustee becomes bankrupt or transfers the claims to a third party, we may incur significant legal expenses in enforcing our interest in the claims in British Columbia courts.
The registration of the claims in the name of a trustee does not impact a third party’s ability to commence an action against us respecting the Don Claim or to seize the claim after obtaining judgment.
Description, Location and Access
The DON mineral claim is located on the south side of the headwaters of Chemainus River in the Victoria Mining Division on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. See Figures 1, 2 and 3.
Figure 1 shows the general location in North America, Figure 2 shows the regional location of the property which lies about four miles north of the small community of Youbou, B.C. on the north side of Cowichan Lake. The city of Vancouver, B.C. lies about 83 km. (51.5 miles) to the northeast and about 65 km. ( 40.4 miles) northwest of Victoria, B.C., the capital of the province of British Columbia.
The claim area may be reached by means of a logging road which follows Chemainus River valley for a distance of about 50 km. (31 miles) from Highway at Duncan, B.C. The road is privately owned by McMillan Bloedell Limited and an access permit is required. An alternate route over the pass from Youbou, B.C. is also possible.
NTS Map Reference: 092C/16E Latitude: 48 55 : Longitude: 124
The claim is located in the southern part of the Vancouver Island Mountains at elevations ranging from 2000 to 3700 feet (610 meters to 1128 meters) above sea level. Topography is
moderately rugged with a local topographic relief of 1700 feet ( 518 meters).
The area was mainly heavily timbered with little underbrush but has been actively logged. The logged areas are a tangle of deadfalls, underbrush and second growth conifers. Two northerly-flowing creeks which are tributary to Chemainus River provide adequate year round water for drilling or camp purposes.

Previous Work
A geochemical soil survey was conducted over part of the property in 1969. The overburden over the claim-area consists of glacial till of shallow to moderate depth (2 to 20 feet). In most places, a partly developed B soil horizon was sampled for geochemical analyses. A copper anomaly ranging from 800 to 1400 ppm Cu was defined. This is coincident with a molybdenum anomaly
ranging from 60 to 120 ppm Mo.
A magnetometer survey was also conducted over part of the property. Four magnetic anomalies, which are partly coincident with the geochemical anomalies, were defined by the survey. A regional stream sediment geochemical survey was also conducted by the B.C. Geological Survey. At the confluence of a small northerly-flowing tributary of Chemainus River, anomalous values were obtained in copper, gold and molybdenum
Mineralization
Mineralization on the property includes pyrite, magnetite, chalcopyrite and molybdenite along intrusive contacts. The British Columbia Geological Survey has prepared a metallic mineral potential relative rank as shown in Figure 10. This ranking is based on the geology of the area, known mineral deposits, the regional geochemical programs and other factors. Almost the
entire map-area is ranked at the highest level (red color). The blue areas, those of the lowest level of potential are areas of stream and lake sediments.
Recommendations
A program consisting of an MMI geochemical survey and geological mapping is recommended for the property.
Compliance with Government Regulation
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in Canada generally, and in the province of British Columbia, specifically. Under these laws, prior to production, we have the right to explore the claims, subject only to a notice of work which may entail posting a bond if we significantly disturb the claims surface. This would first occur during the drilling phase of exploration.
In addition, production of minerals in the province of British Columbia requires prior approval of applicable governmental regulatory agencies. We can provide no assurance to investors that such approvals will be obtained. The cost and delay involved in attempting to obtain such approvals cannot be known at this time.
We will have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental mediation for all exploration and development work undertaken. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration program that will be undertaken beyond completion of the currently planned work programs. Because there is presently no information on the size, tenor, or quality of any resource or reserve at this time, it is impossible to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on earnings or our competitive position in the event a potentially economic deposit is discovered.
If we enter into production, the cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater than in the exploration phases because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of any production program if the project continues to that stage because of the potential impact on the environment. Examples of regulatory requirements include:
·
Water discharge will have to meet water standards;
·
Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated;
·
Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and re-vegetated;
·
An assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to be environmentally benign;
·
Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants;
·
The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be re-mediated; and
·
There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora.
During the initial phases of exploration, there will be no significant costs of compliance with government regulations.
Employees
We have no employees as of the date of this prospectus other than our sole director.
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.
Continuing Operations
Our plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this prospectus is to implement the first two phases of recommended exploration outlined in Mr. Montogmery’s geological report. We anticipate that the phase one program consisting of the MMI geochemical survey plus some mapping and sampling will cost approximately $6,000 As well, we anticipate spending an additional $18,000 on professional fees, including fees payable in connection with the filing of this registration statement, complying with reporting obligations and general administrative costs. Total minimum expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be $24,000. We currently have enough funds on hand to complete our initial first phase of exploration on the Don Claim. To undertake further exploration (if indicated) and to cover administrative costs, will require additional funding. We anticipate that additio nal funding will be required in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to secure sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund the second phase of the exploration program. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding the complete exploration program. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
Our cash reserves are not sufficient to meet our obligations for the next twelve-month period. As a result, we will need to seek additional funding in the near future. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. Our management is prepared to provide us with short-term loans, although no such arrangement has been made. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
Our two directors and officers have indicated that they will advance up to $30,000 to cover any short fall of cash required to complete this registration statement and for the first two phases of the recommended exploration program. We have not and do not intend to seek other debt financing by way of bank loan, line of credit or otherwise. Financial institutions do not typically lend money to mineral exploration companies with no stable source of revenue.
If we do not secure additional funding for exploration expenditures, we may consider seeking an arrangement with a joint venture partner that would provide the required funding in exchange for receiving a part interest in the Don Claim. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture partner. There is no guarantee that we will be able to locate a joint venture partner who will assist us in funding exploration expenditures upon acceptable terms. We may also pursue acquiring interests in alternate mineral properties in the future.
Results of Operations for Period Ending March 31, 2006
We did not earn any revenues during the period ending March 31, 2006. We have not commenced the exploration stage of our business and can provide no assurance that we will discover economic mineralization on the claims.
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $ 27,506 for the period from our inception on January 19, 1999 to March 31, 2006. These operating expenses were comprised of legal and organizational costs of $7,000, mineral claims costs of $5,000, accounting and audit fees of $8,400, management fees of 5,000, electronic filing fees of $2,100 bank fees of $6.
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.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Except as described below, none of the following parties has, since our date of incorporation, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with us or in any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect us:
* Any of our directors or officers;
* Any person proposed as a nominee for election as a director;
* Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to our outstanding shares of common stock;
* our promoters, Thomas Forzani and Donald Thompson and
* Any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons who has the same house as such person.
*Mr. Joseph Montgomery, PHD P Eng was issued 600,000 shares of our common stock as a portion of the purchase price of our mineral claim. Our president, Mr. Thomas Forzani provides management services and office premises to us free of charge.
Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
There is presently no public market for our common stock. We anticipate applying for trading of our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares will be traded on the bulletin board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize.
Stockholders of Our Common Shares
As of the date of this registration statement, we have 40 registered shareholders.
Rule 144 Shares
A total of 31,700 shares of our common stock are 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 a company's common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
1. 1% of the number of shares of the company's common stock then outstanding which, in our case, will equal 31,700 shares as of the date of this prospectus; or
2. the average weekly trading volume of the company's common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the company.
Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not one of the company's affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, is entitled to sell shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.
As of the date of this prospectus, persons who are our affiliates hold all of the 31,700 shares that may be sold pursuant to Rule 144.
Stock Option Grants
To date, we have not granted any stock options.
Registration Rights
We have not granted registration rights to the selling shareholders or to any other persons.
Dividends
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that prevent us from declaring dividends. The Colorado Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:
1. we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
2. our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
We have not declared any dividends, and we do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Board of Directors
High End Ventures, Inc.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of High End Ventures, Inc. as of September 30, 2005 and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from January 19, 1999 (date of inception) to September 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 audits provide 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 High End Ventures, Inc. as of September 30, 2005 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from January 19, 1999 (date of inception) to September 30, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $5,500 since inception, has not attained profitable operations and is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to fulfill its exploration activities. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 6. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

HIGH END VENTURES, INC.
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005
NOTE 1 – NATURE AND PURPOSE OF BUSINESS
High End Ventures, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Colorado on January 19, 1999. The Company’s activities to date have been limited to organization and capital formation. The Company is “an exploration stage company” and has not yet determined the nature of its business activities. The Company has elected September 30 as the end of its fiscal year.
NOTE 2 – NATURE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company considers revenue to be recognized at the time the service is performed.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s short-term financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash. During the year the Company did not maintain cash deposits at financial institution in excess of the $100,000 limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it hold or issue interest rate or leveraged derivative financial instruments.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic Earnings per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential
dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrant. The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period. Loss per share is unchanged on a diluted basis since the assumed exercise of common stock equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect.
INCOME TAXES:
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as required by SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minu s the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expanse items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are
classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an
asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company had no significant deferred tax items arise during any of the periods presented.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:
The Company does not have any concentration of related financial credit risk.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact to its financial statements.
NOTE 3 – COMMON STOCK
On October 10, 2004, the Company issued 500,000 shares to an individual for services rendered to the Company valued at $.001 per share.
In September 2005, the Company issued stock and stock subscriptions to individuals at a value of $.02 per share.
NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no
sales and has incurred a net loss of $5,500 since inception. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations form the development of its mineral properties. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classifications of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The interim financial statements of High End Ventures, Inc. (the Company) for the six months ended March 31, 2006 and March 31, 2005 are not audited.
