Summary
Prospective investors are urged to read this prospectus in its entirety.
We intend to be in the business of mineral property exploration. To date, we have not conducted any exploration on our sole exploration target, the Strathy Township mineral property located in the Sudbury Mining Division of north-eastern Ontario, Canada. We have the option to acquire a 100% interest, subject to a 3.0% net smelter royalty and a 2% gross overriding royalty on diamond production, in the Strathy Township mineral property from Fred Blake of Temagami, Ontario.
Our objective is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Strathy Township property in order to assess whether it possesses economic reserves of copper, zinc and silver. We have not yet identified any economic mineralization on the Strathy Township property. Our proposed exploration program is designed to search for an economic mineral deposit.
We were incorporated on September 30, 2005, under the laws of the state of Nevada. Our principal offices are located at 130 South Brodie Street, Suite 510, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada P7B 6M3. Our telephone number is (807) 626-9869.

Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE PLANNED EXPLORATION ON THE STRATHY TOWNSHIP PROPERTY OR GENERATE REVENUE.
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete all intended exploration of the Strathy Township Property, and therefore we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income. As well, we will not receive any funds from this registration.
Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of the Strathy Township Property. While we have sufficient funds to conduct the recommended phase one exploration program on the claim, which is estimated to cost $8,400, we will need additional funds to complete the phase two program, which is estimated in total to cost $17,100, and further additional funds to complete the phase three program, which is estimated in total to cost $124,200 Even after completing these three phases of exploration, we will not know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit.
We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues once exploration is complete. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and may not be able to find such financing if required.
BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT COMMENCED BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.
We have not yet commenced exploration on the Strathy Township Property. Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. We were incorporated on September 30, 2005 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities and the acquisition of the Strathy Township property. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.
Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from development of the Strathy Township Property and the production of minerals from the claim, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations.
There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and it is doubtful that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
BECAUSE OF THE SPECULATIVE NATURE OF EXPLORATION OF MINING PROPERTIES, THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL RISK THAT OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. The likelihood of our mineral claim containing economic mineralization or reserves of gold or other valuable minerals is extremely remote. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. In all probability, the Strathy Township Property does not contain any reserves and funds that we spend on exploration will be lost. As well, problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.
WE NEED TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN IF OUR BUSINESS IS TO SUCCEED. OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM HAS RAISED SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
The report of our Independent Registered Public Accounting firm on our audited financial statements as for the period ended August 31, 2006 indicates that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such factors identified in the report are that we have no source of revenue and our dependence upon obtaining adequate financing. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely investors will lose all of their investment.
BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT DANGERS INVOLVED IN MINERAL EXPLORATION, THERE IS A RISK THAT WE MAY INCUR LIABILITY OR DAMAGES AS WE CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS.
The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
EVEN IF WE DISCOVER COMMERCIAL RESERVES OF PRECIOUS METALS ON THE STRATHY TOWNSHIP PROPERTY, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMMENCE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION.
The Strathy Township property does not contain any known bodies of mineralization. If our exploration programs are successful in establishing valuable metals of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to place the Strathy Township property into commercial production. We may not be able to obtain such financing.
BECAUSE OUR PRESIDENT OWNS 41.95% OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, THEY COULD MAKE AND CONTROL CORPORATE DECISIONS THAT MAY BE DISADVANTAGEOUS TO OTHER MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS.
Our President owns approximately 41.95% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Accordingly, they will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers, consolidations, and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. They will also have the power to prevent or cause a change in control. The interests of our directors may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders.
BECAUSE OUR DIRECTORS HAVE OTHER BUSINESS INTERESTS, THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, CAUSING OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
Our president Mr. Terry Desjardins intends to devote approximately 10% of his business time to our affairs. It is possible that the demands on Mr. Desjardins from his other obligations could increase with the result that they would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. In addition, Mr. Desjardins may not possess sufficient time for our business if the demands of managing our business increase substantially beyond current levels.
IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DOES NOT DEVELOP, SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL THEIR SHARES.
There is currently no market for our common stock and no certainty that a market will develop. We currently plan to apply for listing of our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. Our shares may never trade on the bulletin board. If no market is ever developed for our shares, it will be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. In such a case, shareholders may find that they are unable to achieve benefits from their investment.
A PURCHASER IS PURCHASING PENNY STOCK WHICH LIMITS HIS OR HER ABILITY TO SELL THE STOCK.
The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stock for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, thus limiting investment liquidity. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in our company will be subject to rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.
Please refer to the “Plan of Distribution” section for a more detailed discussion of penny stock and related broker-dealer restrictions.
Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us described in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Use Of Proceeds
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered through this prospectus by the selling shareholders.
Determination Of Offering Price
The selling shareholders will sell our shares at $0.10 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.
Dilution
The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is common stock that is currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing shareholders.
Selling Securityholders
The selling shareholders named in this prospectus are offering all of the 3,460,000 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 and pursuant to a mineral property purchase agreement.

Each of the above shareholders beneficially owns and has sole voting and investment over all shares or rights to the shares registered in his or her name. The numbers in this table assume that none of the selling shareholders sells shares of common stock not being offered in this prospectus or purchases additional shares of common stock, and assumes that all shares offered are sold. The percentages are based on 5,960,000 shares of common stock outstanding on the date of this prospectus.
None of the selling shareholders:
| (1) | has had a material relationship with us other than as a shareholder at any time within the past three years; |
| (2) | has ever been one of our officers or directors; or |
| (3) | is a broker-dealer or affiliate of a broker dealer. |
Plan Of Distribution
The selling shareholders may sell some or all of their common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions.
The selling shareholders will sell our shares at $0.10 per share until our shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. We determined this offering price arbitrarily based upon the price of the last sale of our common stock to investors. The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's Rule 144.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. These are estimated to be $6,000. 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 Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other things:
| 1. | Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock; |
| 2. | Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be required by such broker or dealer; and |
| 3. | Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the Exchange Act. |
The Securities Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
| · | contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; |
| · | contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties; |
| · | contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; |
| · | contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; |
| · | defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and |
| · | contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format) as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation; |
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to proceeding with any transaction in a penny stock, the customer:
| · | with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; |
| · | details of the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; |
| · | the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and |
| · | monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. |
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.

Common Stock
As of August 31, 2006, there were 5,960,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding that are held by 29 stockholders of record.

Disclosure Of Commission Position Of Indemnification For Securities Act Liabilities
Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our Bylaws. These provisions provide that we shall indemnify a director or former director against all expenses incurred by him by reason of him acting in that position. The directors may also cause us to indemnify an officer, employee or agent in the same fashion.
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 a court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court's decision.
Organization Within Last Five Years
We were incorporated on September 30, 2005 under the laws of the state of Nevada. On that date, Terry Desjardins was appointed as our sole director. As well, Mr. Desjardins was appointed as our president, treasurer, secretary and chief executive officer.
Description Of Business
In General
We intend to commence operations as an exploration stage company. We will be engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover. We have an option to acquire a 100% interest in the 2 mineral claim units known as the Strathy Township property. There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the Strathy Township property. We do not have any current plans to acquire interests in additional mineral properties, though we may consider such acquisitions in the future.
Mineral property exploration is typically conducted in phases. Each subsequent phase of exploration work is recommended by a geologist based on the results from the most recent phase of exploration. We have not yet commenced the initial phase of exploration on the Strathy Township property. Once we have completed each phase of exploration, we will make a decision as to whether or not we proceed with each successive phase based upon the analysis of the results of that program. Our directors will make this decision based upon the recommendations of the independent geologist who oversees the program and records the results.
Our plan of operation is to conduct exploration work on the Strathy Township property in order to ascertain whether it possesses economic quantities of gold, silver or diamonds. There can be no assurance that an economic mineral deposit exists on the Strathy Township property until appropriate exploration work is completed.
Even if we complete our proposed exploration programs on the Strathy Township property and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit.
Strathy Township Property Option Agreement
On August 6, 2006, we entered into a mineral purchase and sale agreement with Frederick Blake of Temagami, Ontario, whereby he granted the company an option to acquire a total of two mining claim units located in the Sudbury Mining Division of Ontario, Canada. In order to exercise the option and acquire a 100% interest in these claims, we must pay to Mr. Blake a total of $40,000 as follows:
| - | $2,500 immediately upon execution of this agreement by all parties, which we paid; |
| - | an additional $7,500 by January 6, 2008; |
| - | an additional $10,000 by January 6, 2009; and |
| - | an additional $20,000 by January 6, 2010. |
We must also incur exploration work totalling at least $145,000 by January 6, 2011 on the Strathy Township property as follows:
| - | $6,000 in expenditures on the property by August 6, 2007; |
| - | no less than a further $9,000 of expenditures to be incurred on the property by January 6, 2008; |
| - | no less than a further $25,000 of expenditures to be incurred on the property by January 6, 2009; |
| - | no less than a further $45,000 of expenditures to be incurred on the property by Juanuary 6, 2010; |
| - | no less than a further $60,000 of expenditures to be incurred on the property by January 6, 2011. |
If we successfully exercise the option, our 100% interest will be subject to a 3% royalty interest in favour of Frederick Blake. A net smelter royalty is a percentage of the net amount of money that we would receive from the sale of minerals from the property to a smelter, less refining charges, penalties and transportation costs.
Description, Location and Access
The Strathy Township property is located in west central Strathy Township, Sudbury Mining Division, northeastern Ontario, approximately 3.5 km north northeast from the town of Temagami, and 90 km north northwest from the city of North Bay. Geographical coordinates for the southeast property corner are 79o 46.8' west longitude by 47o 05.8' north latitude. The NTS designation is 31 M/4. The property consists of two, contiguous, 32 hectare single claim units, numbered 1118436 and 1179062, that were both recorded on January 9, 1992.
To acquire the 100% mineral rights to the claim Heritage must make staged payments to Frederick Blake totalling $40,000 by January 06, 2010, and undertake staged exploration expenses totalling $145,000 by January 06, 2011. Blake retains a 3% net smelter royalty, of which 2% may be purchased by Heritage at any time for $500,000 per 0.5%. In addition, Blake retains a 2% gross overriding royalty on diamond production from the property.
To satisfy government assessment regulations, and thus keep the claim in good standing, minimum eligible exploration expenses of $400 per claim unit must be incurred and filed with the MNDM on or before the second anniversary date of the claim, and on or before every anniversary date thereafter. The due date for the Heritage claims is January 9, 2009, by which time $800 must be incurred and filed.
The Strathy Township property is staked crown land with no history of any previous development. Accordingly, there are no environmental liabilities attached thereto. The claim has not been surveyed.
There are several provincial parks or conservation areas in proximity to the property. As well, there are homes and cottages on Net Lake. The existence of the parks, conservation areas and cottages should not have an impact on exploration activities on the property, but will need to be considered for future mining operations. The property is at the initial exploration stage. No work permits are required.
The property is accessed by following Highway 11 northward for about 1.7 kilometers to a bush road that connects with Highway 11 just north of Johnny Creek. The bush road continues to the northeast for about a kilometer before becoming passable only by all terrain vehicle (ATV). From there, ATV trails provide access to various points on the claims.
The area experiences a temperate climate with moderate to long cold winters and short hot summers. Total precipitation is about 1000 mm including some 3 - 4 m as snowfall. Break-up or freeze-up conditions may impinge upon exploration activities, but normally exploration and mining (both open pit and underground) may be conducted year round.
Supplies and services required for both exploration and mining may be acquired in North Bay (100 road km to the SSE), Sudbury (150 road km to the SSW and Timmins (260 road km to the NNW). A pool of professionals as well as skilled and semi skilled labour for both exploration and mining activities, and accustomed to work in remote locales, exists in these centres and the local smaller communities. The ONR railway line passes through Temagami, the nearest town with a population of about 1200 and a former mining centre. On the property, there is sufficient space for a mine, on site mill, all ancillary buildings, tailings pond, etc. Several water bodies on the property and in the immediate area could supply an adequate amount of water for milling operations.
There is no infrastructure on the property. Highway 11, the ONR rail line and a gas pipe line all pass in a north/south direction within 1km of the property, and a high voltage power line, part of the provincial grid, lies 3 km to the east southeast.
Topography on the property and in the general area is modestly rolling. Elevation ranges from ~310 m at to ~355 m at the property’s SE corner. In the past, logging operations have been conducted in the general region. Principal species present include white and black spruce, red and white pine, balsam fir, balsam poplar and white birch.
Mineralization
No mineral deposits nor occurrences are currently known to exists on the Strathy Township property. Although in the past 2 shallow shafts have been sunk within the property boundaries. The property is well located with respect to other gold occurrences in the immediate area. Moreover, a major fault/shear that is probably a splay from one of the faults in the regional Net-Vermillion deformation zone, has been mapped/interpreted as passing through the claims. Fyon and Crocket (1986) argue that the Net-Vermillion deformation zone has a high potential for gold mineralization.
Gold deposits of significance and other documented gold occurrences in proximity to the Heritage claims are listed in the tables below.

No kimberlite bodies have as yet been located on the property, however, a cluster of 17 kimberlites are known to the north of Strathy Township in the Cobalt-New Liskeard area. The facts that a) Strathy Township lies within the Timiskiming Structural Zone and b) a nest of Keating anomalies are situated within the claims are positive indicatins for the potential existence of kimberlite (the host rock of diamonds) on the property.
Exploration History
General
Strathy Township has been prospected since at least the 1880's. In 1898, significant deposits of iron ore were discovered in southern Chambers and Strathy Townships. The Big Dan gold occurrence, which was discovered prior to 1906, is located just east of the property. This occurrence was described in detail by Knight (1920).
On May 8, 1978 a large potion of northeastern Ontario, including Strathy Township, was withdrawn from staking and prospecting due to a dispute over land ownership (the Bear Island Indian Land Caution). The Caution was eventually lifted on September 17, 1996. While the Caution was in effect, exploration within its boundaries was limited to patented or leased claims only.
Previously, several companies have conducted exploration activities on all or parts of the land now held under option by Heritage. Records in the assessment files in the Kirkland Lake Resident Geologist’s office for exploration work performed on or in the immediate area of the property were reviewed, and are summarized below. To date, no mineral deposit has been delineated on the property, and consequently, there has been no production from the property nor any reserve or resource calculated.
Company / Individual Reports
1952 - 1953 | Mining Geophysics Corp. Ltd. : (MGC) [Cobalt file CO-1991] |
MGC’s 3 claim (3 claim unit), named the “Big Three Property”, included the 2 claims now held by Heritage. In 1952, magnetic and spontaneous potential (SP) surveys were conducted along north/south lines spaced at 91 m (300') intervals.
Trenching and/or stripping was undertaken at 4 locales on the southern claim. Nine short holes totalling 106 m (348') were drilled at two of these areas.
1965 | United Reef Petroleums Limited : (United Reef) |
United Reef held the property at the time they worked the Big Dan Mine. Whether any work was conducted at that time on the present claims is unknown.
Jones held a property of 6 claims (Bennett, 1978). It is unknown if any work was undertaken.
1994 -1997 | F. Blake : (Blake) [ Cobalt files CO-1992, 1994,1995 & 2327] |
Blake staked the current 2 claims in 1992 and between 1994 and 1997 trenched/stripped 3 different areas on the claims, and contracted geological and geophysical (magnetic and VLF electromagnetic) surveys over the entire property.
1997 | Wabana Explorations Inc. : (Wabana) [Cobalt files 2286 & 2448] |

Geological Report
We retained Mr. James G. Burns B.Sc., P.Eng., a geologist based in Timmins, Ontario, to complete an evaluation of the Strathy Township property and to prepare a geology report on the claim.
Based on his review, Mr. Burns concludes that the Strathy Township property warrants further exploration due to the potential for gold and the potential the potential for diamonds on the property.
Mr. Burns recommends a three-phase exploration program for the Strathy Township Property. Phase I is to include gridding the entire property in both north-south and east-west directions at 50-meter line spacings, and conducting detailed VLF-EM and magnetometer surveys in order to define structures and elineate any features that may be indicative of a kimberlite body. This work can be undertaken at any time and is estimated to cast $8,400. Phase II entails the completion of an induced polarization (IP) survey and a mobile metal ion (MMI) geochemical survey on 100-meter line spacings in both directions over the entire property. The purpose for the IP survey is to locate zones of high chareabliity related to sulphide mineralization accompanying gold deposition. The MMI survey is to be geared towards locating both gold and kimberlite targets. These surveys are best undertaken during the snow and ice free months. It is estimated that this phase will cost $17,100.

Compliance with Government Regulation
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in Canada generally, and in Ontario specifically.
We will have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental mediation for all exploration and development work undertaken. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration program that will be undertaken beyond completion of the currently planned work programs. Because there is presently no information on the size, tenor, or quality of any resource or reserve at this time, it is impossible to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on earnings or our competitive position in the event a potentially economic deposit is discovered.
If we enter into production, the cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater than in the exploration phases because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of any production program if the project continues to that stage because of the potential impact on the environment. Examples of regulatory requirements include:
| - | Water discharge will have to meet water standards; |
| - | Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated; |
| - | Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and re-vegetated; |
| - | An assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to be environmentally benign; |
| - | Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants; |
| - | The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be re-mediated; and |
| - | There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora. |
Employees
We have no employees as of the date of this prospectus other than our one 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.
Reports to Security Holders
Although we are not required to deliver a copy of our annual report to our security holders, we will voluntarily send a copy of our annual report, including audited financial statements, to any registered shareholder who requests it. We will not be a reporting issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission until our registration statement on Form SB-2 is declared effective.
We have filed a registration statement on Form SB-2, under the Securities Act of 1933, with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the shares of our common stock offered through this prospectus. This prospectus is filed as a part of that registration statement, but does not contain all of the information contained in the registration statement and exhibits. Statements made in the registration statement are summaries of the material terms of the referenced contracts, agreements or documents of the company. We refer you to our registration statement and each exhibit attached to it for a more detailed description of matters involving the company, and the statements we have made in this prospectus are qualified in their entirety by reference to these additional materials. You may inspect the registration statement, exhibits and schedules filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at the Commission's principal office in Washington, D.C. Copies of all or any part of the registration statement may be obtained from the Public Reference Section of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street NE, Washington, D.C. 20002. Please call the Commission at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the operation of the public reference rooms. The Securities and Exchange Commission also maintains a web site at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy statements and information regarding registrants that file electronically with the Commission. Our registration statement and the referenced exhibits can also be found on this site.
Plan Of Operations
Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to complete the recommended phase one and two exploration programs on the Strathy Township property consisting of linecutting followed by detailed geophysical surveys, geochemical soil sampling. We anticipate that these exploration programs will cost approximately $25,000. To date, we have not commenced exploration on the Strathy Township property.
We plan to commence the phase one exploration program on the Strathy Township property in the winter of 2007. The program should take approximately up to a one month to complete. We will then undertake the phase two work program during the summer of 2007. This program will take approximately one month to complete. We do not have any verbal or written agreement regarding the retention of any qualified engineer or geologist for this exploration program.
As well, we anticipate spending an additional $10,000 on administrative fees, including fees payable in connection with the filing of this registration statement and complying with reporting obligations.
Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be $35,000.
While we have enough funds to cover some of these anticipated expenses, we will require additional funding in order to proceed with the completion of the recommended exploration on the Strathy Township. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or from director loans. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing or loans.
Results Of Operations For The Period From Inception Through August 31, 2006
We have not earned any revenues from our incorporation on September 30, 2005 to August 31, 2006. We do not anticipate earning revenues unless we enter into commercial production on the Strathy Township property, which is doubtful. We have not commenced the exploration stage of our business and can provide no assurance that we will discover economic mineralization on the Strathy Township property, or if such minerals are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production.
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $21,059 for the period from our inception on September 30, 2005 to August 31, 2006. These operating expenses were comprised of general and administration expenses of $21,059.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Description Of Property
We have an option to acquire a 100% interest in the mineral exploration rights relating to the Strathy Township. We do not own any real property interest in the Strathy Township property or any other property.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Heritage Explorations, Inc. (an exploration stage company) as of August 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the period September 30, 2005 (inception) to August 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered a loss from operations and anticipates further losses in the development of its business. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2006
NOTE 1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 30, 2005. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7. The Company has been granted an option to a mineral property located in the Province of Ontario, Canada and has not yet determined whether this property contains reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of property expenditures will be dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying property, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property agreement and upon future profitable production or proceeds for the sale thereof.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $21,059, and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business, raising substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. 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 classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
The Company’s has selected August 31st as its fiscal year end.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Mineral Property Costs
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on September 30, 2005, and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2006
Revenue Recognition
In general, the Company records revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered or product delivery has occurred, the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of August 31, 2006. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for these financial instruments because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair value or they are payable on demand.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
Long lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or is impaired.
Segment Reporting
The Company follows SFAS 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related information.” The Company operates as a single segment and will evaluate additional segment disclosure requirements as it expands its operations.
Environmental Costs
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to operations. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitments to a plan of action based on the then known facts.
Income Taxes
The Company follows SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" for recording the provision for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.

AUGUST 31, 2006
Recent Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS 123(R) amends SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and APB Opinion 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” SFAS 123(R) requires that the cost of share-based payment transactions (including those with employees and non-employees) be recognized in the financial statements. SFAS 123(R) applies to all share-based payment transactions in which an entity acquires goods or services by issuing (or offering to issue) its shares, share options, or other equity instruments (except for those held by an ESOP) or by incurring liabilities (1) in amounts based (even in part) on the price of the entity’s shares or other equity instruments, or (2) that require (or may require) settlement by the issuance of an entity’s shares or other equity instruments. This statement is effective (1) for public companies qualifying as SEC small business issuers, as of the first interim period or fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005, or (2) for all other public companies, as of the first interim period or fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, or (3) for all nonpublic entities, as of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2005.
In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No.107 (SAB 107) which provides guidance regarding the interaction of SFAS 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations. The new guidance includes the SEC's view on the valuation of share-based payment arrangements for public companies and may simplify some of SFAS 123(R)’s implementation challenges for registrants and enhance the information investors receive.
In August 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and to changes required by an accounting pronouncement if the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions, and it changes the requirements for accounting for and reporting them. Unless it is impractical, the statement requires retrospective application of the changes to prior periods’ financial statements. This statement is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.
SFAS 155 - ‘Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140’
This Statement, issued in February 2006, amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement resolves issues addressed in Statement 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets.”
This Statement:
| a. | Permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation |
| b. | Clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement 133 |
| c. | Establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation |
| d. | Clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives |
| e. | Amends Statement 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. |
HERITAGE EXPLORATIONS, INC.
(AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31, 2006
This Statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of our first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.
The fair value election provided for in paragraph 4(c) of this Statement may also be applied upon adoption of this Statement for hybrid financial instruments that had been bifurcated under paragraph 12 of Statement 133 prior to the adoption of this Statement. Earlier adoption is permitted as of the beginning of our fiscal year, provided we have not yet issued financial statements, including financial statements for any interim period, for that fiscal year. Provisions of this Statement may be applied to instruments that we hold at the date of adoption on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
The Company is currently reviewing the effects of adoption of this statement but it is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.
SFAS 156 - ‘Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140’
This Statement, issued in March 2006, amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. This Statement:
| 1. | Requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in certain situations. |
| 2. | Requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. |
| 3. | Permits an entity to choose either the amortization method or the fair value measurement method for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. |
| 4. | At its initial adoption, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by entities with recognized servicing rights, without calling into question the treatment of other available-for-sale securities under Statement 115, provided that the available-for-sale securities are identified in some manner as offsetting the entity’s exposure to changes in fair value of servicing assets or servicing liabilities that a servicer elects to subsequently measure at fair value. |
| 5. | Requires separate presentation of servicing assets and servicing liabilities subsequently measured at fair value in the statement of financial position and additional disclosures for all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. |
Adoption of this Statement is required as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by SFAS 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During the periods when anti-dilutive, common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered in the computation.

Pursuant to SFAS No. 109, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.

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

The estimated costs of this offering are as follows:
Securities and Exchange Commission registration fee | | $ | 37.02 | |

| b. | reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this 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 prospectus filed with the 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; and |
| c. | include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution. |
| 2. | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| 3. | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered hereby which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| 4. | That, for determining our liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, we undertake that in a primary offering of our securities 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, we will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
| a. | any preliminary prospectus or prospectus that we file relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (Section 230.424 of this chapter); |
| b. | any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on our behalf or used or referred to by us; |
| c. | the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about us or our securities provided by or on behalf of us; and |
| d. | any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by us to the purchaser. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling person sin connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
