SUMMARY OF PROSPECTUS
This summary provides an overview of all material information contained in this prospectus. Before making a decision to purchase the shares our selling security holders are offering you should very carefully and thoroughly read the more detailed information in this prospectus and review our financial statements.
Summary Information about Patterson Brooke Resources Inc.
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 28, 2006 and established a fiscal year end of October 31. We do not have any subsidiaries, affiliated companies or joint venture partners.
We are a start-up, pre-exploration stage company engaged in the search for gold and related minerals and have not generated any operating revenues since inception. Our sole mineral property, the Alice Claim, is located in the Northwest Territories (“NWT”), Canada.
We have incurred losses since inception and we must raise additional capital to fund our operations There is no assurance we will be able to raise this capital.
There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists at our mineral claim or can be shown to exist until sufficient and appropriate exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation of such work concludes economic and legal feasibility. Such work could take many years of exploration and would require expenditure of very substantial amounts of capital, capital we do not currently have and may never be able to raise.
Our sole holding is a 100% interest in the Alice Claim located in NWT, Canada, subject to a 1% net smelter royalty, in favor of the vendor, Mr. Max Braden, on any production of commercial minerals that may be generated from the Alice Claim. Patterson Brooke acquired the Alice Claim for the sum of $1,000 from Mr. Braden, an unrelated third party prospector. Although we are in possession of a signed, registered Transfer of Mineral Claim transferring all right, title and interest in the Alice Claim to us, title remains recorded in the name of Max Braden. That is because we do not wish to incur the cost of acquiring a Prospectors License from the NWT and registering the Company in the NWT, both of which we must do in order to record title to the Alice Claim in our name. There is no cost to us using Mr. Braden’s Prospectors License to hold the Alice Claim.
We own no property other than the Alice Claim.
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not conducted any exploration work on the Alice Claim. We have funds sufficient to complete only an initial exploration program recommended for the Alice Claim. It is our plan to complete this program during the summer of 2007.
We have no full time employees and our management devotes a small percentage of their time to the affairs of the Company.
Our administrative office is located at # 21 - 2398 Haines Road, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, L4Y 1Y6. Our telephone number is (416) 819-3795 and our fax number is (905) 272-9317.
On October 20, 2006 we completed a private placement pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, of 3000,000 shares of common stock sold to our two officers and directors at the price of $0.001 per share to raise $3,000. On October 31, 2006 we completed a further private placement pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, whereby 538,000 common shares were sold at the price of $0.05 per share to raise $26,900. The total cash raised from the sale of shares was $29,900. Cash on hand totaled $29,899 as of October 31, 2006. Of these funds $11,010 remains in cash as of December 31, 2006, with the balance of $18,889 having been expended as follows:

Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock involves an exceptionally high degree of risk and is extremely speculative. In addition to the other information regarding Patterson Brooke contained in this prospectus, you should consider many important factors in determining whether to purchase the shares being offered. The following risk factors reflect the potential and substantial material risks which could be involved if you decide to purchase shares in this offering.
Risks Associated with our Company:
We lack an operating history and have losses which we expect to continue into the future. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease exploration activity or cease operations.
We have not yet conducted any exploration activities. We have not generated any revenues. We have no exploration history upon which you can evaluate the likelihood of our future success or failure. Our net loss from inception to October 31, 2006, the date of our most recent audited financial statements is $9,639. Our ability to achieve profitability and positive cash flow in the future is dependent upon
* | our ability to locate a profitable mineral property | |
* | our ability to locate an economic ore reserve | |
* | our ability to generate revenues | |
* | our ability to reduce exploration costs. |
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the research and exploration of our mineral property. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues may cause us to go out of business.
-5-
We have no known ore reserves and we cannot guarantee we will find any gold and/or silver mineralization or, if we find gold and/or silver mineralization, that it may be economically extracted. If we fail to find any gold and/or silver mineralization or if we are unable to find gold and/or silver mineralization that may be economically extracted, we will have to cease operations.
We have no known ore reserves. Even if we find gold and/or silver mineralization we cannot guarantee that any gold and/or silver mineralization will be of sufficient quantity so as to warrant recovery. Additionally, even if we find gold and/or silver mineralization in sufficient quantity to warrant recovery, we cannot guarantee that the ore will be recoverable. Finally, even if any gold and/or silver mineralization is recoverable, we cannot guarantee that this can be done at a profit. Failure to locate gold deposits in economically recoverable quantities will cause us to cease operations.
Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote, in all probability our property does not contain any reserves, and any funds spent on exploration will be lost.
Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote, in all probability our sole property, the Alice Claim, does not contain any reserves, and any funds spent on exploration will be lost. If we cannot raise further funds as a result, we may have to suspend or cease operations entirely which would result in the loss of your investment.
Because our officers and directors do not have technical training or experience in starting and operating an exploration company nor in managing a public company, we will have to hire qualified personnel to fulfill these functions. If we lack funds to retain such personnel, or cannot locate qualified personnel, we may have to suspend or cease exploration activity or cease operations which will result in the loss of your investment.
Because our officers and directors are inexperienced with exploring for minerals and starting, and operating a mineral exploration company, we will have to hire qualified persons to perform surveying, exploration, and excavation of our property. Our officers and directors have no direct training or experience in these areas and as a result may not be fully aware of many of the specific requirements related to working within the industry. Their decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches, mineral exploration companies commonly use. Consequently our exploration, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to certain of management's lack of experience in this industry. Additionally, our officers and directors have no direct training or experience in managing and fulfilling the regulatory reporting obligations of a ‘public company’ like Patterson Brooke. Unless our two part time officers are willing to spend more time addressing these matters, we will have to hire professionals to undertake these filing requirements for Patterson Brooke and this will increase the overall cost of operations. As a result we may have to suspend or cease exploration activity, or cease operations altogether, which will result in the loss of your investment.
If we don't raise enough capital for exploration, we will have to delay exploration or go out of business, which will result in the loss of your investment.
We estimate that, with funding committed by our management combined with our cash on hand, we have sufficient cash to continue operations for twelve months provided we only carry out our limited early stage exploration activity. We are in the pre-exploration stage. We need to raise additional capital to undertake additional exploration activity. You may be investing in a company that will not have the funds necessary to conduct any meaningful exploration activity due to our inability to raise additional capital. If that occurs we will have to delay exploration or cease our exploration activity and go out of business which will result in the loss of your investment.
-6-
Since we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration and as a result may not find an ore body. Without an ore body, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment.
The possibility of development of and production from our exploration property depends upon the results of exploration programs and/or feasibility studies and the recommendations of duly qualified professional engineers and geologists. We are small company and do not have much capital. We must limit our exploration activity unless and until we raise additional capital. Any decision to expand our operations on our exploration property will involve the consideration and evaluation of several significant factors beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:
● | Market prices for the minerals to be produced; | |
● | Costs of bringing the property into production including exploration preparation of production feasibility studies and construction of production facilities; | |
● | Political climate and/or governmental regulations and controls; | |
● | Ongoing costs of production; | |
● | Availability and cost of financing; and | |
● | Environmental compliance regulations and restraints. |
These types of programs require substantial capital. Because we may have to limit our exploration, we may not find an ore body, even though our property may contain mineralized material. Without an ore body, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment.
Because our officers and directors have other outside business activities and may not be in a position to devote a majority of their time to our exploration activity, our exploration activity may be sporadic which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of exploration.
Our President will be devoting only 15% of his time, approximately 24 hours per month, to our business. Our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary-Treasurer will be devoting only approximately 10% of his time, or 16 hours per month to our operations. As a consequence of the limited devotion of time to the affairs of the Company expected from management, our business may suffer. For example, because our officers and directors have other outside business activities and may not be in a position to devote a majority of their time to our exploration activity, our exploration activity may be sporadic or may be periodically interrupted or suspended. Such suspensions or interruptions may cause us to cease operations altogether and go out of business.
We may not have access to all of the supplies and materials we need to begin exploration which could cause us to delay or suspend exploration activity.
We have made no attempt to locate or negotiate with any suppliers of products, equipment or materials. We will attempt to locate products, equipment and materials as and when we begin to undertake exploration activity, expected during the summer of 2007. Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in occasional spot shortages of equipment and/or supplies we need to conduct our planned exploration work. If we cannot find the products and equipment we need, we will have to suspend our exploration plans until we do find the products and equipment we need.
-7-
We may be unable to meet property maintenance requirements or acquire necessary mining licenses and thereby lose our interest in the Alice Claim.
In order to maintain ownership of in the Alice Claim we must make an annual payment, or expend certain minimum amounts on the exploration of the mineral claim, in the amount of at least $727 ($800Cdn.) by May 24 in each year, including 2007. Our failure to make such payment or expenditures within the time required will result in the loss of our interest in the Alice Claim. Even if we do make the annual payment in lieu of doing work because we are not able to obtain the necessary licenses to conduct mining operations on the property in a timely fashion, we would realize no benefit from our expenditure to maintain title to the property.
No matter how much money is spent on the Alice Claim, the risk is that we might never identify a commercially viable ore reserve.
Over the coming years, we might expend considerable capital on exploration of the Alice Claim without finding anything of value. It is very likely the Alice Claim does not contain any reserves so any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost. No matter how much money is spent on the Alice Claim, we might never be able to find a commercially viable ore reserve.
Even if our property were found to contain a deposit, since we have not put a mineral deposit into production before, we will have to acquire outside expertise. If we are unable to acquire such expertise we may be unable to put our property into production and you may lose your investment.
We have no experience in placing mineral deposit properties into production, and our ability to do so will be dependent upon using the services of appropriately experienced personnel or entering into agreements with other major resource companies that can provide such expertise. There can be no assurance that we will have available to us the necessary expertise when and if we place a mineral deposit into production.
Mineral exploration and development activities are inherently risky and we may be exposed to environmental liabilities. If such an event were to occur it may result in a loss of your investment.
The business of mineral exploration and extraction involves a high degree of risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into production. Most exploration projects do not result in the discovery of commercially mineable deposits of ore. The Alice Claim, our sole property, does not have a known body of commercial ore. Should our mineral claim be found to have commercial quantities of ore, we would be subject to additional risks respecting any development and production activities. Unusual or unexpected formations, formation pressures, fires, power outages, labour disruptions, flooding, explosions, cave-ins, landslides and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labour are other risks involved in extraction operations and the conduct of exploration programs. We do not carry liability insurance with respect to our mineral exploration operations and we may become subject to liability for damage to life and property, environmental damage, cave-ins or hazards. There are also physical risks to the exploration personnel working in the rugged terrain of British Columbia, often in poor climatic conditions. Previous mining exploration activities may have caused environmental damage to the Alice Claim. It may be difficult or impossible to assess the extent to which such damage was caused by us or by the activities of previous operators, in which case, any indemnities and exemptions from liability may be ineffective.
-8-
Even with positive results during exploration, the Alice Claim might never be put into commercial production due to inadequate tonnage, low metal prices or high extraction costs.
We might be successful, during future exploration programs, in identifying a source of minerals of good grade but not in the quantity, the tonnage, required to make commercial production feasible. If the cost of extracting any minerals that might be found on the Alice Claim is in excess of the selling price of such minerals, we would not be able to develop the claim. Accordingly even if ore reserves were found on the Alice Claim, without sufficient tonnage we would still not be able to economically extract the minerals from the claim in which case we would have to abandon the Alice Claim and seek another mineral property to develop, or cease operations altogether.
Title to the Alice Claim is registered in the name of another person. Failure of the Company to obtain good title to the claim will result in our having to cease operations.
Title to the property we intend to explore is not held in our name. Title to the Alice Claim is recorded in the name of Max Braden, an unrelated prospector. In the event Max Braden was to grant a third party a deed of ownership, which was subsequently registered prior to our deed, that third party would obtain good title and we would have nothing. Similarly, if Max Braden were to grant an option to a third party, that party would be able to enter the claims, carry out certain work commitments and earn right and title to the claims and we would have little recourse against such third party even though we would be harmed, would not own any property and would have to cease operations. Although we would have recourse against Max Braden in the situations described, there is a question as to whether that recourse would have specific value.
Risks Associated with this Offering:
Our officers and directors own a substantial amount of our common stock and will have substantial influence over our operations.
Our directors and officers currently own 3,000,000 shares of common stock representing approximately 84.8% of our outstanding shares. Such directors and officers have registered for resale 300,000 of their shares. Assuming that such directors and officers sell their 300,000 shares, they will still own 2,700,000 shares of common stock representing approximately 76.3% of our outstanding shares. As a result, they will have substantial influence over our operations and can effect certain corporate transaction without further shareholder approval. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.
Without a public market there is no liquidity for our shares and our shareholders may never be able to sell their shares which would result in a total loss of their investment.
Our common shares are not listed on any exchange or quotation system. There is no market for our shares. Consequently, our shareholders will not be able to sell their shares in an organized market place unless they sell their shares privately. If this happens, our shareholders might not receive a price per share which they might have received had there been a public market for our shares. Once this registration statement becomes effective, it is our intention to apply for a quotation on the OTCBB whereby:
● | We will have to be sponsored by a participating market maker who will filea Form 211 on our behalf since we will not have direct access to the NASD personnel; and | |
● | We will not be quoted on the OTCBB unless we are current in our periodicreports filed with the SEC. |
-9-
From the date of this prospectus, we estimate that it will take us between twelve to eighteen weeks to be approved for a quotation on the OTCBB. However, we cannot be sure we will be able to obtain a participating market maker or be approved for a quotation on the OTCBB, in which case, there will be no liquidity for the shares of our shareholders.
Even if a market develops for our shares our shares may be thinly traded, with wide share price fluctuations, low share prices and minimal liquidity.
If a market for our shares develops, the share price may be volatile with wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including:
● | Potential investors’ anticipated feeling regarding our results of operations; | |
● | Increased competition and/or variations in mineral prices; | |
● | Our ability or inability to generate future revenues; and | |
● | Market perception of the future of the mineral exploration industry. |
In addition, if our shares are quoted on the OTCBB, our share price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. Our share price might be affected by general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations. In addition, even if our stock is approved for quotation by a market maker through the OTCBB, stocks traded over this quotation system are usually thinly traded, highly volatile and not followed by analysts. These factors, which are not under our control, may have a material effect on our share price.
We anticipate the need to sell additional treasury share in the future meaning that there will be a dilution to our existing shareholders resulting in their percentage ownership in the Company being reduced accordingly.
We may seek additional funds is through the sale of our common stock. This will result in a dilution effect to our shareholders whereby their percentage ownership interest in the Company is reduced. The magnitude of this dilution effect will be determined by the number of shares we will have to issue in the future to obtain the funds required.
Since our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.
Our shares are "penny stocks" and are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell the Company's securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from its customer a written agreement prior to making a sale. The imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices could adversely affect a shareholder's ability to dispose of his stock.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
There is no established public market for our common equity being registered. The offering price of the shares offered by selling security holders should not be considered as an indicator of the future market price of the securities.
The facts considered in determining the offering price were Patterson’s financial condition and prospects, its lack of operating history and general conditions of the securities market. The offering price should not be construed as an indication of, and was not based upon, the actual value of Standard. The offering price bears no relationship to Patterson’s book value, assets or earnings or any other recognized criteria of value and could be considered to be arbitrary.
The selling shareholders are free to offer and sell their common shares at such times and in such manner as they may determine. The types of transactions in which the common shares are sold may include negotiated transactions. Such transactions may or may not involve brokers or dealers. The selling security holders are expected to sell their shares at the offering price of $0.05 per share unless and until our shares are quoted on the OTCBB or the “Pink Sheets” following which selling security holders may sell their shares at the market price. The selling security holders have advised us that none have entered into agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of the shares. The selling security holders do not have an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the common shares. We will pay all of the expenses of the selling security holders, except for any broker dealer or underwriter commissions, which will be paid by the security holder.

BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Corporate Organization and History Within Last Five years
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 28, 2006 under the name Patterson Brooke Resources Inc. The Company does not have any subsidiaries, affiliated companies or joint venture partners. We have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings since inception nor have we been party to a reclassification, merger, consolidation, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business other than the Alice Claim. We have no intention of entering into a merger or acquisition and we have a specific business plan to complete our exploration program by no later than October 31, 2007. We do not foresee any circumstances that would cause us to alter our current business plan within the next twelve months.
Business Development Since Inception
We raised $3,000 in initial seed capital on October 17, 2006 in order to identify and acquire a mineral property that we consider holds the potential to contain gold and/or silver mineralization.
In October 2006 we purchased the Alice Claim, situated in NWT, Canada, for $1,000 from Mr. Max Braden, an independent unrelated prospector of Yellowknife, NWT.
On October31, 2006 Patterson Brooke closed a private placement pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, whereby 538,000 common shares were sold at the price of $0.05 per share to raise $26,900.
In October 2006 we engaged Glen MacDonald, P. Geol., to conduct a review and analysis of the Alice Claim and the previous exploration work undertaken on the property and to recommend a mineral exploration program for the Alice Claim.
We are the beneficial owner of a 100% interest in the Alice Claim, our sole mineral property, subject to a royalty interest retained by the vendor, as detailed below. We intend to undertake exploration work on the Alice Claim. We are presently in the pre-exploration stage and there is no assurance that mineralized material with any commercial value exits on our property. We do not have any ore body and have not generated any revenues from our operations. Our planned exploration work is exploratory in nature.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY
We are the beneficial owner of a 100% interest in the Alice Claim, located in NWT, Canada. Our interest in the Alice Claim is subject to a 1% net smelter return royalty in favor of the person from whom we acquired the claim, Mr. Max Braden. The royalty interest retained by Mr. Braden entitles him to receive 1% of any net revenue that might be paid to us by the purchaser of minerals produced form the Alice Claim. We do not have any ore body and have not generated any revenues from our operations.
Although we are in possession of a signed, registerable Transfer of Mineral Claim transferring all right, title and interest in the claim to us subject to the aforementioned 1% net smelter royalty, title remains recorded in the name of Max Braden. That is because the Government of Canada requires that mineral claims in the NWT be held in the (i) the name of a resident of the NWT, or (ii) by a company either incorporated in Canada or registered with the NWT ‘s Registrar of Corporations. At the present time, we do not wish to incur the costs associated with registering in the NWT. In addition, a Prospectors’ License, another prerequisite to our being able to register tile to the Alice Claim, entails additional expense, whereas there is no cost to us using Max Braden’s Prospectors License to hold the Alice Claim.
-17-
Beneficial ownership of the Alice Claim confers the rights to the minerals on the Alice Claim. We do not own the land itself since it is held in the name of the “Crown”, i.e. the Government of Canada.
The Alice Claim covers an area of approximately 200 acres. The current expiry date for the Alice Calim is May 24, 2007. To keep the property in good standing, such that the claim dos not expire on the date indicated above we must (i) undertake exploration work to a value of not less than $727 ($800 CDN) on the Alice Claim before May 24, 2007, or (ii) in lieu of undertaking exploration work we may pay cash of approximately $727 ($800 CDN) to the Government of Canada. This is an annual obligation. Failure to do either, each year, will result in the Alice Claim reverting to the Government of Canada.
Particulars of the Alice Claim, our sole mineral property, together with issues we face in conducting exploration work on the property, follow.
-18-
Location and Access
The Alice Claim is located approximately 112 kilometers east of Yellowknife, NWT a town of approximately 20,000 and the capital of the NWT where all services necessary to the mining industry are available. The city is serviced by scheduled air services from Edmonton Alberta and is
linked to Alberta by all-weather highway. The Alice Claim is currently accessed by float or ski-equipped aircraft from Yellowknife. A winter road could easily link the property to the all-weather Ingraham Trial, a distance of about 48 kilometers.
The Alice property is located near the northern extremity of the northern interior climatic region and is characterized by a cold, fry sub-arctic climate. Mean January and July temperatures are below -30 C and from 10 to 15 respectively. The mean annual precipitation is approximately 200mm or less.
Topography of the region is subdued, with elevations ranging from 300 to 365 m. Lakes and low-lying swampy areas are common and comprise some 20% of the land surface. The major regional drainage is the Beaulieu River, which traverses the eastern part of the region from north to south and empties into Great Slave Lake east of Drybones Bay.
The Alice Claim is located well south of the tree line and is within the region of discontinuous permafrost. Vegetation consists of white and black spruce, white birch and locally abundant poplar, jack-pine and tamarack. The area is generally “swampy”. Access on the property for ground geophysical surveying and subsequent drilling of magnetic anomalies would be best accomplished from December to May when the lakes and swamps are frozen. Work such as prospecting, sampling and geological surveying must be carried out during the summer months. Drilling could also be carried out during the summer months as well.
No electrical power is required at this stage of exploration. Any electrical power that might be required in the foreseeable future could be supplied by gas powered portable generators.

Property Geology
The Alice Claim is underlain by volcanics of the Yellowknife group, consisting of greenstone flows. These greenstones are fine to coarse grained and the flows vary in thickness up to 175 feet separated in places by tuffs and often on the western side by prominent flow breccia horizons. The lavas take the form of massive, pillowed, schistose, ropey and foliated flows, though distinction is often difficult as pillows have mostly been obscured.
The tuffs that are contained in the flows vary in thickness up to 50 feet, and where sheared form sericite schist, whilst chlorite schist forms from the greenstones. The sericitc schist commonly weathers rusty brown due to the presence of pyrite and in some cases gold is associated with mineralization. A number of cherty bands and/or acid and/or acid dykes up to six feet thick occur on the property and often mineralization is associated with them. They may be rusty brown and have quartz veins nearby. These mineralized veins are to a large degree concentrated in a central zone running north/south through the property and the Alice zone, although associated with sheared tuff, lies within this larger area.
Acid and intermediate tuffs occur on the western edge of the greenstone whilst on the eastern side the pyroclastic zone is of agglomerate often containing large bombs. Dykes and masses of intrusive diorite and gabbro are present though in some less exposed areas these may be confused with large grained or altered flows .
The Alice shear is considered to contain the most promising gold mineralization on the property. This zone lies on the north side of a small lake known as Gold Lake and is exposed in outcrop and trenches for about 900 feet. The shear follows a band of chert-like inter-flow tuff that varies in thickness from a few inches to 6.5 feet. The shear zone ranges in width from 1 foot to approximately 20 feet. The rocks within the zone are sericite and chlorite schist, and scattered veinlets and lenses of quartz. The average width of the well-mineralized section of the zone is from 2 to 3 feet and it has a length of about 500 feet. Gold occurs sporadically in the heavily pyritized part of the zone.
-20-
Previous Exploration
The area was first prospected in the summer of 1938. Gold was found in July of that year and claims were staked on the more promising showings.
The property was acquired by Sunset Yellowknife Mines in 1945 and in the spring and summer of that year, this company did extensive trenching and diamond drilling on the two zones. A total of 1907 feet of diamond drilling was done on the Alice shear north of Gold lake.
Operations then ceased out but were resumed in February of 1946 and continued through to November of that year. A camp erected, and in the fall of 1946 a two-compartment vertical shaft was sunk to a depth of 23 feet on the Alice shear zone. In March of 1947, a small mining plant was moved to the property and during the following summer the shaft in the Alice zone was deepened to 145 feet. Drifts were opened on the 125-foot level and extended about 100 feet north and south from the shaft before the property closed on September 10th, 1947. No work was done by the company after September, 1947.
Early in 1966, the claims were optioned by Giant Yellowknife Mines Ltd. who carried out a geological mapping, geological surveying and short hole diamond drill program on new untested zones. The option was allowed to lapse. No work has been done on the property since that time.
Proposed Exploration Work - Plan of Operation
Mr. Glen C. Macdonald, P. Geol., authored the "Geological Report on the Alice Claim” dated November, 2006 (the “Macdonald Report”), in which he recommended an exploration program to evaluate the potential of the claim. Mr. Macdonald is a registered Professional Geologist in good standing in the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia and the Association of Professional Engineers of Alberta. He is a graduate of the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C. with a Bachelor of Economics (1971) and Geology (1973). Mr. Macdonald has practiced his profession as a geologist continuously since 1973. He visited the area covered by our claim in 2005.
We must conduct exploration to determine what minerals exist on our property and whether they can be economically extracted and profitably processed. We plan to proceed with exploration of the Alice Claim by completing the work recommended in the Macdonald Report, in order to begin determining the potential for discovering commercially exploitable deposits of gold on our claim.
We have not discovered any ores or reserves on the Alice Claim, our sole mineral property. Our planned work is exploratory in nature.
The Macdonald Report concludes:
- | the Alice Claim covers an occurrence of high-grade gold mineralization in volcanic rocks of the Yellowknife supergroup; |
- | early exploration of vein systems by trenching, drilling and underground development may have over looked the presence of fine-grained gold carried in pyrite sulphide within the volcanic units themselves; |
- | geophysical surveys have identified conductive anomalies which should be further explored; and |
- | detailed geological mapping, with trenching and sampling should be conducted in the vicinity of the conductors to determine if drilling is warranted. |
The Macdonald Report recommends the following work be undertaken and anticipates the cost as follows:
-21-
● | Geological mapping | $ 10,000 | |
● | Trenching and sampling | 7,500 | |
Total | $ 17,500 |
The Alice Claim, being located in a northerly latitude, and is subject to long, cold winters with snowfall accumulations. Accordingly our planned work can not be undertaken until the summer 2007.
At this point we do not have funds available to complete our planned work and we will have to rely on advances from our management, advances they have committed to make, to in order to carry out such work. Consequently, even if the results of our planned Phase I exploration work prove encouraging, there is no assurance we will be able to raise the capital necessary to conduct the further exploration work on the Alice Claim. Furthermore, even if funding is available, additional work will only be undertaken if the results of our planned work is successful in identifying target zones of gold mineralization deemed worthy, by our geologist, of drilling to determine if a gold deposit may exist. Should our initial work prove unsuccessful in identifying such drill targets, the Company will likely abandon the Alice Claim and we may have to go out of business.
There are no permanent facilities, plants, buildings or equipment on the Alice Claim.
Competitive Factors
The mining industry is highly fragmented. We are competing with many other exploration companies looking for gold and silver. We are among the smallest exploration companies in existence and are an infinitely small participant in the mining business which is the cornerstone of the founding and early stage development of the mining industry. While we generally compete with other exploration companies, there is no competition for the exploration or removal of minerals from our claims. Readily available markets exist for the sale of gold and silver. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any gold or silver that we are able to recover, in the event commercial quantities are discovered on the Alice Claims. There is no ore body on the Alice Claims.
Regulations
Governing Laws
The mining industry in Canada operates under both federal and provincial or territorial legislation governing the exploration, development, production and decommissioning of mines. Such legislation relates to such matters as the method of acquisition and ownership of mining rights, labor, health and safety standards, royalties, mining and income taxes, exports, reclamation and rehabilitation of mines, and other matters. The mining industry in Canada is also subject to legislation at both the federal and provincial or territorial levels concerning the protection of the environment. Legislation imposes high standards on the mining industry to reduce or eliminate the effects of waste generated by extraction and processing operations and subsequently deposited on the ground or emitted into the air or water. The design of mines and mills, and the conduct of extraction and processing operations, are subject to regulatory restrictions. The exploration, construction, development and operation of a mine, mill or refinery require compliance with environmental legislation and regulatory reviews, and the obtaining of land use and other permits, water licenses and similar authorizations from various governmental agencies. Legislation is in place for lands under federal jurisdiction or located in certain provinces and territories that provides for the preparation of costly environmental impact assessment reports prior to the commencement of any mining operations. These reports require a detailed technical and scientific assessment as well as a prediction of the impact on the environment of proposed mine exploration and development.
-22-
Failure to comply with the requirements of environmental legislation may result in regulatory or court orders being issued that could result in the cessation, curtailment or modification of operations or that could require the installation of additional facilities or equipment to protect the environment. Violators may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of mining activities and the violators, including our officers and directors, may be fined or, in some cases, imprisoned if convicted of an offense under such legislation. Provincial and territorial mining legislation establishes requirements for the decommissioning, reclamation and rehabilitation of mining properties that are closed. Closure requirements relate to the protection and restoration of the environment and the protection of public safety. Some former mining properties must be managed for a long time following closure in order to fulfill regulatory closure requirements. The cost of closure of existing and former mining properties and, in particular, the cost of long-term management of open or closed mining properties can be substantial.
Mineral exploration is subject to the Canadian Mineral Tenure Act Regulation. This act sets forth rules for: locating claims, posting claims, working claims and reporting work performed. We will be required to obtain permits from the NWT Ministry of the Environment before we commence mining operations at the Alice Claim.
With respect to the legislation, rules and regulations referred to above, we believe that we are currently in compliance in all material respects with applicable legislation, rules and regulations.
The Company does not foresee having to expend material amounts in order to comply with environmental laws during the exploration phase of its operations. The Company is obligated to restore surface disturbances created by exploration. These restoration efforts typically involve the back filing of trenches, pits, or other excavations created for purposes of exploration.
Underground exploration, which the Company contemplates in the future, will require additional cost related to the storage of excavated material. Until the Company knows the amount of material it will have to store, it cannot estimate this cost. There will be material costs of environmental compliance if the Company develops a mine in the future. However, the Company cannot reasonably estimate that environmental compliance cost at this time.
It is not possible to estimate the cost of meeting the rules and regulations for a mining operation at this time. Those costs will only be determined when a mine plan and the required studies are completed to apply for a mining permit.
Government Permitting
Our proposed mineral exploration program is subject to the Canadian Mineral Tenure Act Regulation. This act sets forth rules for locating claims, posting claims, working claims and reporting work performed. The Company is committed to complying with all governmental and environmental regulations. We are obliged to adhere to environmental regulations promulgated by the Government of Canada. It is reasonable to expect that compliance with environmental regulations will increase our costs. Such compliance may include feasibility studies on the surface impact of our future exploration operations; costs associated with minimizing surface impact; water treatment and protection; reclamation activities, including rehabilitation of various sites; on-going efforts at alleviating the mining impact of wildlife; and permits or bonds as may be required to ensure our compliance with applicable regulations. It is possible that these costs and delays associated with such compliance could become so prohibitive that we may decide to not proceed with exploration on the Alice Claim.
The Company cannot predict the extent to which future legislation and regulation could cause additional expense, capital expenditures, restrictions, and delays in the development of the Company's Canadian properties, including those with respect to mining claims. The Company's activities are not only subject to extensive federal and territorial regulations controlling the mining of and exploration for mineral properties, but also the possible effects of such activities upon the environment. For example we will be obligated to take steps to ensure that any streams draining the property do not become contaminated as a result of our activities on the property. We are not aware of any environmental problems on the property as of the date of this prospectus.

Employees
Initially, we intend to use the services of subcontractors for manual labor exploration work on our claim and an engineer or geologist to manage the exploration program. At present, we have no employees as such although each of our officers and directors devotes a portion of his time to the affairs of the Company. None of our officers and directors has an employment agreement with us. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt such plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to any employee.
As indicated above we will hire subcontractors on an as needed basis. We have not entered into negotiations or contracts with any of potential subcontractors. We do not intend to initiate negotiations or hire anyone until we are nearing the time of commencement of our planned exploration activities.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS
This section of our prospectus includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or our predictions.
We are a start-up, pre-exploration stage company. We have a limited operating history and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our activities. We have yet to undertake any exploration activity on our sole property, the Alice Claim. As our property is in the early stage of exploration and there is no reasonable likelihood that revenue can be derived from the property in the foreseeable future.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that our auditors believe there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay for our operations. This is because we have not generated any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals, if ever. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than the sale of minerals found on the Alice Claim. That cash must be raised from other sources. Our only other source for cash at this time is investment by others in the Company. We must raise cash to implement our planned exploration program and stay in business.
Since our business activity is related solely to the exploration and evaluation of the Alice Claim, it is the opinion of management that the most meaningful financial information relates primarily to current liquidity and solvency. As at October 31, 2006, we had working capital of $20,261. Despite the commitment of our officers and directors to advance us up to $35,000 during the next twelve months, unless we raise additional funds, we will be faced with a working capital deficiency by no later than the end of the next twelve months. Our future financial success will be dependent on the success of the exploration work on the Alice Claim. Such exploration may take years to complete and future cash flows, if any, are impossible to predict at this time. The realization value from any mineralization which may be discovered by us is largely dependent on factors beyond our control such as the market value of metals produced, mining regulations in Canada and foreign exchange rates.
-24-
Our capital commitments for the next twelve months consist of expenses associated with the completion of our planned exploration program, estimated at $17,500. Including exploration work, we estimate that we will have to incur the following expenses over the next twelve months:
Expenses | Amount | Description |
Accounting | 3,500 | Fees to the independent accountant for preparing the quarterly and annual working papers for the financial statements. |
Audit | 4,000 | Review of the quarterly financial statements and audit of the annual financial statements. |
Consulting and legal fees | 15,000 | Balance of fees related to the preparation of this registration statement. |
Exploration | 17,500 | Per MacDonald report |
Filing fees | 225 | Annual fee to the Secretary of State for Nevada |
Management fees (*) | 12,000 | Agreed amount of $1,000 per month |
Office | 300 | Photocopying, delivery and fax expenses |
Rent | 3,600 | Agreed upon rent at $300 per month. |
Transfer agent’s fees | 800 | Annual fee of $500 and estimated miscellaneous charges of $300 |
Estimated expenses | $ 56,925 |
(*) | If we can not meet our expenses to third party creditors on a regular bases management fees will be deferred until such time as there is sufficient money in the Company to commence future payments of such fees. |
We recognize that additional capital will be required during the next twelve months. Should we be unable to raise additional capital from other sources, our directors and officers have committed to advance Patterson Brooke up to $ 35,000 to enable the Company to meet its cash needs over the coming year.
We have no plant or significant equipment to sell, nor are we going to buy any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months. We will not buy any equipment until we have located a body of ore and we have determined it is economical to extract the ore from the land.
We may attempt to interest other companies to undertake exploration work on the Alice Claim through joint venture arrangement or even the sale of part of the Alice Claim. Neither of these avenues has been pursued as of the date of this prospectus.
Our engineer has recommended an exploration program for the Alice Claim. However, even if the results of this work suggest further exploration work is warranted, we do not presently have the requisite funds and so will be unable to complete anything beyond the exploration work recommended in the MacDonald Report until we raise more money or find a joint venture partner to complete the exploration work. If we cannot find a joint venture partner and do not raise more money, we will be unable to complete any work beyond the exploration program recommended by our engineer. If we are unable to finance additional exploration activities, we do not know what we will do and we do not have any plans to do anything else.
We do not intend to hire any employees at this time. All of the work on the Alice Claim will be conducted by unaffiliated independent contractors that we will hire. The independent contractors will be responsible for supervision, surveying, exploration, and excavation. We may engage a geologist to assist in evaluating the information derived from the exploration and excavation including advising us on the economic feasibility of removing any mineralized material we may discover.

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance as an exploration corporation. We are a pre-exploration stage company and have not generated any revenues from our exploration activities. Further, we have not generated any revenues since our formation on June 28, 2006. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our exploration activities. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
To become profitable and competitive, we must invest into the exploration of our property before we start production of any minerals we may find. We must obtain equity or debt financing to provide the capital required to fully implement our phased exploration program. We have no assurance that financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to commence, continue, develop or expand our exploration activities. Even if available, equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Overview
Our financial statements contained herein have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our obligations in the normal course of business. We incurred a net loss from, for the period from the inception of our business on June 28, 2006 to October 31, 2006, of $9,639. We did not earn any revenues during the aforementioned period.
Our financial statements included in this prospectus have been prepared without any adjustments that would be necessary if we become unable to continue as a going concern and are therefore required to realize upon our assets and discharge our liabilities in other than the normal course of operations.
We are presently in the pre-exploration stage and there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exits in the Alice Claim until further exploration work is done and a comprehensive evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility.
Results of Operations - Five months ended October 31, 2006.
For the period from June 28, 2006 (date of inception) to October 31, 2006, we had a net loss of $9,639. This represents a net loss of $0.01 per share for the period based on a weighted average number of shares outstanding of 1,295,000. We have not generated any revenue from operations since inception. Our loss to date represents various expenses incurred with organizing the company, undertaking audits, paying management fees and general office expenses which can be broken down as follows:
-26-
Expense | Amount | Description |
Accounting and audit | $ 3,750 | Preparation of working papers ($1,250) for submission to our independent accountants for examination of the financial statements ($2,500) |
Exploration expenses | 3,944 | Consists purchase of the Alice claims and a geological report in the amount of $2,944. |
Incorporation costs | 1,084 | Incorporation costs incurred for the parent and subsidiary companies. |
Office and general | 561 | General office expenses and entertainment expenses. |
Rent | 300 | The directors approved $300 per month payable to B. Gordon Brooke for the use of his residence as an office for the Company. |
Total expenses | $ 9,639 |
We have not incurred any legal expenses during this period but have accrued as an expense to the offering, $2,500 for legal expenses relating to the Form SB-2.
Our Planned Exploration Program
We must conduct exploration to determine what amounts of minerals exist on the Alice Claim and if such minerals can be economically extracted and profitably processed.
Our planned exploration program is designed to efficiently explore and evaluate our property.
Our anticipated exploration costs over the next twelve months on the Alice Claim are approximately $17,500. This figure represents the anticipated cost to us of completing work recommended in the MacDonald Report. Should the results of this work be sufficiently encouraging to justify our undertaking additional work, in order to undertake any such additional exploration work, we will have to raise additional investment capital as our cash on hand is fully committed to other ongoing administrative expenses of the Company.
Balance Sheet as at October 31, 2006
Total cash and cash equivalents, as at October 31, 2006 were $29,899. Our working capital as at October 31, 2006 was $20,261.
Our working capital was derived from the completion of an initial seed capital offering on October 17, 2006 which raised $3,000 and a private placement completed on October 31, 2006 which raised a further $26,900. No revenue was generated during these periods.
Total shareholders’ equity as at October 31, 2006 was $20,261. Total shares outstanding as at October 31, 2006 were 3,538,000.
As of December 31, 2006 share capital outstanding was 3,538,000 common shares.
Trends
We are in the pre-explorations stage, have not generated any revenue and have no prospects of generating any revenue in the foreseeable future. We are unaware of any known trends, events or uncertainties that have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a material impact on our business or income, either in the long term of short term, other than as described in this section or in ‘Risk Factors’, page 7.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations, including the discussion on liquidity and capital resources, are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management re-evaluates its estimates and judgments.
The going concern basis of presentation assumes we will continue in operation throughout the next fiscal year and into the foreseeable future and will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Certain conditions, discussed below, currently exist which raise substantial doubt upon the validity of this assumption. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the uncertainty.
Our intended exploration activities are dependent upon our ability to obtain third party financing in the form of debt and equity and ultimately to generate future profitable exploration activity or income from its investments. As of October 31, 2006, we have not generated revenues, and have experienced negative cash flow from minimal exploration activities. We may look to secure additional funds through future debt or equity financings. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms.

Background of officers and directors
B. GORDON BROOKE our President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company is qualified as a Chartered Accountant with over 40 years of experience. He has not practiced as a Chartered Accountant since leaving Deloitte Haskins & Sells in 1972, preferring to function as an independent financial consultant. In that capacity Mr. Brooke has held a variety of positions fromassistant to the CFO of multi-national companies (where his duties included preparation of monthly and annual financial reporting packages for all subsidiaries including corporate tax returns, preparation of all required audit working papers and complete audit files for all subsidiaries, responsibilities for internal control systems for all operating subsidiaries) to developing business and financial plans, providing financial statement preparation, tax filings and general accounting services to a wide range of business including investment companies, manufacturing companies and steel fabricators. Since 2001 Mr. Brooke has confined his practice to providing financial consulting services to Snack Crafters Inc., a Toronto, Ontario based manufacturer of cereal bars, baked goods and other ‘snack foods’ sold to a number of major Canadian retailers. His responsibilities include preparation of business plans, servicing as an interim accountant providing accounting services, preparation of financial statements on a non-audit basis, corporate tax returns and assisting the company in its reorganization and restructuring. Mr. Brooke serves as Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and a director of Standard Capital Corporation, a company also involved in the mineral exploration business. See “Conflict of Interest” page 29.
DAVID MOORE, our Secretary Treasurer and a director of the Company, spent his early career in the retail music business working for a variety of retail chains in Ontario followed by over a decade in the investment business as a stock broker and financial planner with a number of firms in Toronto, Ontario. Since 1991 Mr. Moore has been self-employed running his own desk top publishing and digital services bureau. Among other things Mr. Moore provides web site design, implementation and hosting services to his clients.
Neither of our officers and directors work full time for our company. B. Gordon Brooke spends approximately 24 hours a month on administrative and accounting matters. With recent work on the private placement of our common stock, this Registration Statement and because the Company intends to seek a quotation on the OTCBB in the near future Mr. Brooke’s time on Company affairs is expected to continue at this pace for the foreseeable future. As Secretary Treasurer, David Moore spends approximately 16 hours per month on corporate matters.
Board of Directors Audit Committee
Below is a description of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Charter of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors sets forth the responsibilities of the Audit Committee. The primary function of the Audit Committee is to oversee and monitor the Company’s accounting and reporting processes and the audits of the Company’s financial statements.
Our audit committee is comprised of B. Gordon Brooke our President and Chairman of the audit committee, and David Moore our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary Treasurer. By virtue of his designation as a Chartered Accountant, as well as his extensive work experience as a financial consultant, Mr. Brooke can be considered an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401 of Regulation S-B.
Apart from the Audit Committee, the Company has no other Board committees.
Conflicts of Interest
Apart from B. Gordon Brooke, who is a director and officer of Standard Capital Corporation, a company involved in the mineral exploration business and registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,, none of our officers and directors is a director or officer of any other company involved in the mining industry. However there can be no assurance such involvement will not occur in the future. Such present and potential future, involvement could create a conflict of interest.
-29-
To ensure that potential conflicts of interest are avoided or declared to Patterson Brooke and its shareholders and to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, the Board of Directors adopted, on October 31, 2006, a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Patterson Brooke’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics embodies our commitment to such ethical principles and sets forth the responsibilities of Patterson Brooke and its officers and directors to its shareholders, employees, customers, lenders and other stakeholders. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics addresses general business ethical principles and other relevant issues.
Significant Employees
We have no paid employees as such. Our Officers and Directors fulfill many functions that would otherwise require Patterson Brooke to hire employees or outside consultants.
We will have to engage the services of certain consultants to assist in the exploration of the Alice Claim. In particular we will engage a professional geologist on a consulting basis, together with any assistant(s) such geologist will responsible for hiring and supervising, to conduct our planned exploration work for the Alice Claim. These individuals will be responsible for the completion of the geological work on our claim and, therefore, will be an integral part of our operations although they will not be considered employees either on a full time or part time basis. This is because our exploration programs will not last more than a few weeks and once completed these individuals will no longer be required. We have not identified any individual who would work as a consultant for us.
Family Relationships
Our President and our Chief Financial Officer and Secretary Treasurer are unrelated.

Indemnification
Nevada Revised Statutes 78.037 provides that Articles of Incorporation can contain provisions which eliminate or limit the personal liability of our officers and directors and even stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty, but a corporation cannot eliminate or limit a director’s or officer’s liability for acts or failure to act which are based on intentional misconduct, fraud, or a willful violation of law. Our Articles of Incorporation provides that a director or officer is not personally liable to us or our shareholders for damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for liability for (i) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) the payment of distribution in violation of Nevada Revised Statures, 78.300.
Additionally, our By-laws provide that we will indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes, provided the officer or director acts in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believes to be in or not opposed to Patterson Brooke’s best interest, and with respect to any criminal matter, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. Our By-laws also provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 78.751 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, we will pay the expenses of our officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding, as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the matter, upon receipt of an undertaking acceptable to the Board of Directors for the repayment of such advances if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder may be permitted under said indemnification provisions of the law, or otherwise, Patterson Brooke has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any such indemnification is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
October 31, 2006
1. ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on June 28, 2006 with the authorized common stock of 200,000,000 shares at $0.001 par value.
The Company was organized for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral properties. At the report date mineral claims, with unknown reserves, had been acquired. The Company has not established the existence of a commercially minable ore deposit and therefore has not reached the development stage and is considered to be in the pre-exploration stage (see note 3).
The Company has elected to have its fiscal year end as October 31.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Methods
The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of accounting.
Dividend Policy
The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect, when the differences are expected to be reversed. An allowance against deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not, that such tax benefits will not be realized. |
On October 31, 2006, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of $9,639. The tax benefit of approximately $2,900 from the loss carry forward has been fully offset by a valuation reserve because the use of the future tax benefit is doubtful since the Company has no operations. The loss carry forward will expire starting in 2014 through 2026.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Statement of Cash Flows |
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. |
Basic and Diluted Net Income (loss) Per Share |
Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the exercise of any common share rights unless the exercise becomes antidilutive and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report. |
Unproven Mineral Claim Costs
Costs of acquisition, exploration, carrying and retaining unproven properties are expensed as incurred.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized on the sale and transfer of goods or completion of service.
Advertising and Market Development
The company expenses advertising and market development costs as incurred.
Financial and Concentrations Risk
The Company does not have any concentration or related financial credit risk. |
Environmental Requirements
At the report date environmental requirements related to the mineral claim acquired are unknown and therefore an estimate of any future cost cannot be made. |

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting principles accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and accounts payable, are considered by management to be their estimated fair value due to their short term maturities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
3. ACQUISITION OF MINING CLAIMS
The Company acquired one 4 unit metric claim known as the Alice claim located 70 miles east of Yellowknife, North West Territories. The claim is located on the east side of Sunset Lake, a widened part of the Beaulieu River and comprises approximately 200 acres. The claim expiry date is May 24, 2007 if the Company does not incur a cost of $727 each year to maintain the claims in good standing. |
The claims has a 1% net smelter royalty associated with them payable to the vendor of the claims which will only be a factor when and if the claims are ever put into commercial production. |
The claims have not been proven to have commercially recoverable reserves and therefore the acquisition and exploration costs have been expensed. |
4. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
As at October 31, 2006, officers-directors had acquired 85% of the common capital stock issued, and have made no interest, demand loans of $1,858.

Part II Information Not Required in Prospectus
Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under the Nevada General Corporation Law and our Articles of Incorporation, our directors will have no personal liability to us or our stockholders for damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty as a director of the Company involving any act or omission of any such director. This provision does not apply to the directors' (i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law, or (ii) approval of an unlawful dividend, distribution, stock repurchase or redemption under Section 78.300 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. This provision would generally absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of duties, including gross negligence.
The effect of this provision in our Articles of Incorporation, is to eliminate the rights of our Company and our stockholders (through stockholder's derivative suits on behalf of our Company) to recover damages against a director for breach of his fiduciary duties as a director (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior) except in the situations described in clauses (i) and (ii) above. This provision does not limit nor eliminate the rights of our Company or any stockholder to seek relief such as an injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director's fiduciary duties. The Nevada General Corporation Law grants corporations the right to indemnify their directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with applicable law. In addition, our Bylaws authorize the Company to indemnify directors and officers of the Company in cases where such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution
The following table sets forth the costs and expenses payable by us in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered hereunder. No expenses will be borne by the selling security holders. All of the amounts shown are estimates, except for the SEC registration fee.
SEC registration fee | $ 5 |
Printing and miscellaneous expenses | 300 |
Accounting fees and expenses | 5,000 |
Legal fees and consulting fees | 17,500 |

Item 26. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
Since inception on June 28, 2006 we have sold and issued the following securities without registering the securities under the Securities Act.
(a) On October 17, 2006 we completed a private placement pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, 3,000,000 shares of common stock sold to our two officers and directors at the price of $0.001 per share to raise $3,000. No underwriter was engaged and we paid no commission.
(b) | On October 31, 2006 we completed a further private placement pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, whereby 538,000 common shares were sold at the price of $0.05 per share to raise $26,900. No underwriter was engaged and we paid no commission. |

Item 28. Undertakings
Patterson Brooke hereby undertakes:
(a)
(1) | File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: |
-47-
(i) Include any prospectus required by section 10 (a) (3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement, and notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospects filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424 (b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.
(2) | For determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be initial bona fide offering. |
(3) | File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering. |
(4) For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.
(e) | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officers or controlling person of the small business issuer in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceedings) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the small business issuer will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
-48-
(g) | For the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§ 230.424(b) of this chapter) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A (§ 230.430A of this chapter), shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
