| · | The Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB filed with the SEC on March 14, 2007. |
This Prospectus Supplement also relates to two private placements of the Company’s common stock. On March 9, 2007, 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to a single non-U.S. investor at a price of $0.10 per share. The Company completed another private placement of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.10 per share, with a single non-U.S. investor, as of March 15, 2007. The two private placements resulted in gross proceeds to the Company of $200,000. Pursuant to the terms of each private placement the Company has undertaken to register the re-sale of such shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The two private placements were exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act. There were no fees paid to placement agents.
The shares sold in the March 9, 2007 private placement are subject to a lock-up agreement where 250,000 of the shares may be re-sold upon the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such shares (the “Registration Statement”), 250,000 shares may be re-sold after six months from the date of such effectiveness of the Registration Statement, 250,000 shares may be re-sold after twelve months after the date of such effectiveness of the Registration Statement and 250,000 shares may be re-sold eighteen months after the date of such effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
The net proceeds from these private placements will be used for exploration programs on the Company’s Mazama Claims, as well as for general working capital purposes.
The purchase of our stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5 of our Prospectus for a discussion of factors you should carefully consider before purchasing the shares offered by the Prospectus.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended October 31, 2007. Interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the company’s annual audited financial statements.
The interim financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Copper Corp. (the “Company”)
The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. There are certain conditions prevailing which cast substantial doubt as to the validity of using the going concern assumption. These conditions along with management’s plan to mitigate them are described below.
The Company is in the exploration stage and has not yet realized revenues from its planned operations. The Company has incurred a loss of $124,417 for the quarter ended January 31, 2007. At January 31, 2007, the Company had an accumulated deficit during the exploration stage of $781,791. The Company has funded operations through the issuance of capital stock. In September and October 2006, the Company issued its common stock for gross proceeds of $471,000. During the quarter ended January 31, 2007 the Company raised an additional $66,000. Management's plan is to continue raising additional funds through future equity or debt financing until it achieves profitable operations from its mineral extraction activities.
3. | Nature of Business and Operations |
Pacific Copper Corp. (the "Company"), was incorporated on May 18, 1999 as Gate-1 Financial, Inc. under the laws of the State of Delaware. On August 17, 2006, Gate-1 Financial, Inc. changed its name to Pacific Copper Corp. The Company operates with the intent of exploration and extraction of minerals.
The Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not realized any revenues from its operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed 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. For the purpose of preparing financial information, all costs associated with a property that has the potential to add to the Company's proven and probable reserves are expensed until a final feasibility study demonstrating the existence of proven and probable reserve is completed. No costs have been capitalized in the periods covered by these financial statements. Once capitalized, such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.

5. | Issuance of Common Shares |
Year ended October 31, 2006
In September and October of 2006, the Company issued 4,710,000 common shares through private placements for gross proceeds of $471,000.
On October 20, 2006 the Company issued 5,000,000 common shares to purchase 100% rights, title and interest in certain mineral claims located in the county of Okanogan, State of Washington, to the Vendors who had these claims registered in trust with Multi Metals Mining Inc., a Nevada Corporation. The total consideration of $500,000 calculated at $0.10 per common share has been expensed to the income statement as Project expenses.
Quarter ended January 31, 2007
During the three months ended January 31, 2007, the Company issued 660,000 common shares through private placement for gross proceeds of $66,000.
6. | Employee Stock Option Plan |
On August 8, 2006, the Board of Directors approved stock option plan ("2006 Stock Option Plan"), the purpose of which is to enhance the Company's stockholder value and financial performance by attracting, retaining and motivating the Company's officers, directors, key employees, consultants and its affiliates and to encourage stock ownership by such individuals by providing them with a means to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company's success through stock ownership. Under the 2006 Stock Option Plan, officers, directors, employees and consultants who provide services to the Company may be granted options to acquire common shares of the Company. Options may have a term of up to10 years. The total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2006 Stock Option Plan is 5,000,000. As of January 31, 2007, no options had been granted under the 2006 Stock Option Plan.
7. | Stock Based Compensation |
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123 (R)). SFAS 123 (R) requires companies to recognize compensation cost for employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123 (R) on November 1, 2006 using the “modified prospective” application method of adoption which requires the Company to record compensation cost related to unvested stock awards as of October 31, 2006 by recognizing the unamortized grant date fair value of these awards over the remaining service periods of those awards with no change in historical reported earnings. The adoption of this standard did not affect the financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2006, since up to that date, no stock options had been issued. The Company did not issue any stock options to any of its employees as of January 31, 2007.
8. | Commitments and Contingencies |
The Company has entered into a one year contract with Medallion Capital Corp. for consulting services commencing September 1, 2006, at a rate of $7,500 per month plus reimbursement of expenses incurred with respect to the operation of the administration of the Corporation.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED JANUARY 31, 2007
Discussion of Operations & Financial Condition
Three months ended January 31, 2007
Pacific Copper Corp has no source of revenue and we continue to operate at a loss. We expect our operating losses to continue for as long as we remain in an exploration stage and perhaps thereafter. As at January 31, 2007, we had accumulated losses of $781,791. Our ability to emerge from the exploration stage and conduct mining operations is dependent, in large part, upon our raising additional equity financing.
As described in greater detail below, the Company’s major endeavor over the quarter ended January 31, 2007 has been its effort to raise additional capital to pursue its exploration activities. During the year ended October 31, 2006, the Company was successful in acquiring 100% rights, title and interests in certain mineral claims located in the county of Okanogan, State of Washington.
Having acquired certain mineral claims, we are now moving forward to evaluate the financial needs to explore the properties and to implement exploration programs.

The total assets for the quarter ended January 31, 2007 includes cash and cash equivalents of $299,560, prepaid expenses of $8,038 and capital assets of $2,008. For the quarter ended January 31, 2006, total assets include cash and cash equivalents of $Nil, prepaid expenses of $Nil, and capital assets of $Nil. The current assets increased significantly from $Nil on January 31, 2006 to $307,598 on January 31, 2007. The increase in current assets arose as the company received funds on the issue of common shares for a total cash consideration of $471,000 during the year ended October 31, 2006 and $66,000 during the quarter ended January 31, 2007.
Revenues
No revenue was generated by the Company’s operations during the three month periods ended January 31, 2007 and January 31, 2006.
Net Loss
The Company’s expenses are reflected in the Statements of Operation under the category of Expenses. To meet the criteria of United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), all mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed 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. For the purpose of preparing financial information, all costs associated with a property that has the potential to add to the Company's proven and probable reserves are expensed until a final feasibility study demonstrating the existence of proven and probable reserves is completed. No costs have been capitalized in the periods covered by these financial statements. Once capitalized, such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
The significant components of expense that have contributed to the total operating expense are discussed as follows:
(a) General and Administrative Expense
Included in operating expenses for the three month period ended January 31, 2007 is general and administrative expense of $60,614, as compared with $Nil for the three month period ended January 31, 2006. General and administrative expense represents approximately 47.4% of the total operating expense for the quarter ended January 31, 2007. The increase in this expense is mainly due to the professional, consulting, office and general and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the quarter ended January 31, 2007.
(b) Project Expense
Included in operating expenses for the three month period ended January 31, 2007 is project expenses of $67,177 as compared with $nil for the three month period ended January 31, 2006. Project expense is the most significant expense and it represents approximately 52.5 % of the total operating expense for the three month period ended January 31, 2007. This includes expenses related to mineral claim fees, drilling and project consulting.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. To the extent actual results differ from those estimates, our future results of operations may be affected. Besides this critical accounting policy on use of estimates, we believe the following critical accounting policy affects the preparation of our financial statements.
Acquisition, Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures
The Company is an exploration stage mining company and has not yet realized any revenue from its operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed 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. For the purpose of preparing financial information, all costs associated with a property that has the potential to add to the Company’s proven and probable reserves are expensed until a final feasibility study demonstrating the existence of proven and probable reserves is completed. No costs have been capitalized in the periods covered by these financial statements. Once capitalized, such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement
The Company had no off- balance sheet arrangements as of January 31, 2007 and January 31, 2006.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
The Company has entered into a one year contract with Medallion Capital Corp. for consulting services commencing September 1, 2006, at a rate of $7,500 per month plus reimbursement of expenses incurred with respect to the operation of the administration of the Corporation.
We expect to contract all work on the Mining claim properties to independent contractors in the foreseeable future until we have discovered a commercial ore body or abandoned the property. We have no permanent employees. We anticipate that we will require substantial financing in order to proceed with our plan of exploration for an economic ore body. We presently do not have any commitments in place to finance this exploration and there is no assurance that the necessary financing will be obtained. If we are unable to secure new financing, then we will not be able to carry out the required exploration and may not be able to maintain our interest in the Properties.
RISK FACTORS
1. | THE COMPANY HAS NO SOURCE OF OPERATING REVENUE AND EXPECTS TO INCUR SIGNIFICANT EXPENSES BEFORE ESTABLISHING AN OPERATING COMPANY, IF IT IS ABLE TO ESTABLISH AN OPERATING COMPANY AT ALL. |
Currently, the Company has no source of revenue, limited working capital and no commitments to obtain additional financing. The Company will require significant additional working capital to carry out its exploration programs. The Company has no operating history upon which an evaluation of its future success or failure can be made. The ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon:
| - | further exploration of our mineral properties and the results of that exploration; |
| - | raising the capital necessary to conduct this exploration; and |
| - | raising capital to develop our mineral properties, establish a mining operation, and operate this mine in a profitable manner, if any of these activities are warranted by the results of our exploration programs and a feasibility study. |
Because the Company has no operating revenue, it expects to incur operating losses in future periods as it continues to spend funds to explore its mineral properties. Failure to raise the necessary capital to continue exploration could cause the Company to go out of business.
2. | IF THE COMPANY DEVELOPS MINERAL RESOURCES, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT PRODUCTION WILL BE PROFITABLE. |
Even if the Company finds mineral resources, there is no assurance that it will be able to mine them or that a mining operation would be profitable on any of its properties.
3. | THE COMPANY IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT UPON ITS OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS. BECAUSE OF THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN OTHER SIMILAR BUSINESSES WHICH MAY BE COMPETITORS, THEY MAY HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST. |
None of the Company’s officers or directors works for the Company on a full-time basis. There are no proposals or definitive arrangements to engage them on a full-time basis. Some of our directors are officers or directors of other companies in similar exploration businesses. Such business activities may be considered a conflict of interest because these individuals must continually make decisions on how much of their time they will allocate to the Company as against their other business projects, which may be competitive. Also, the Company has no key man life insurance policy on any of its senior management or directors. The loss of one or more of these officers or directors could adversely affect the ability of the Company to carry on business.
4. | THE COMPANY COULD ENCOUNTER REGULATORY AND PERMITTING DELAYS. |
The Company could face delays in obtaining permits to operate on the property covered by the claims. Such delays could jeopardize financing, if any is available, which could result in having to delay or abandon work on some or all of the mineral properties.
5. | THERE ARE PENNY STOCK SECURITIES LAW CONSIDERATIONS THAT COULD LIMIT YOUR ABILITY TO SELL YOUR SHARES. |
Our common stock is considered a "penny stock" and the sale of our stock by you will be subject to the "penny stock rules" of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The penny stock rules require broker-dealers to take steps before making any penny stock trades in customer accounts. As a result, the market for our shares could be illiquid and there could be delays in the trading of our stock which would negatively affect your ability to sell your shares and could negatively affect the trading price of your shares.
