Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed herein.
ITEM 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on January 11, 2007. Our principal offices are located at 2818 Fort Hamilton Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11218.
We intend to be in the business of mineral property exploration. To date, we have not conducted any exploration on our 16 mineral claims in the Laurentides Region near Mont Laurier, Quebec, as filed for record with Quebec Resources Naturelles et Faune:
We own a 100% interest in the mining claims comprising the Lac Dube claims, located approximately 200 km northwest and 65-70 km northeast of Montreal and Mont-Laurier, respectively. The property, which consists of 16 contiguous mining claims (940.04 ha), is situated in the Franchere Township (NTS Map 31J/15) in southwestern Quebec. The property is easily accessible by provincial highways, paved and all-weather gravel roads from major centers of Quebec (Montreal) and Quebec (Ottawa).
We purchased these claims from Mr. Michael Carr of Calgary, Alberta for a cash payment of $ 6,500 and 500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.001 per share ($500) for a total price of $7,000.
Our objective is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Lac Dube claims in order to assess whether it possesses economic reserves of precious and/or base metals, especially uranium. We have not yet identified any economic mineralization on the property. Our proposed exploration programs are designed to search for an economic mineral deposit.
Employees
We currently have no full-time employees including our CEO and Principal Accounting Officer.
Research & Development
For year ended March 31, 2009, we spent nothing for research and development, as compared to $5,000 during the year ended October 31, 2007.

The Gold/Silver/Uranium Market
Prices of base metals (copper, lead, zinc, etc.) are at historic highs. Gold, silver and platinum are at their highest prices in years. Uranium is currently over $95.00 per pound. Mining prospects that a few years ago would be rejected are now economically feasible. Exploration for minerals all over the world has opened new areas for investigation.
We intend to commence operations as an exploration stage mineral exploration company. As such, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our sole mineral property interest, the Lac Dube claims. Further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of the Lac Dube claims is determined.
We will be engaged in the acquisition, and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover that demonstrate economic feasibility. We acquired a 100% undivided right, title and interest in and to several mineral claims located in the Laurentides Region near Mont Laurier, Quebec, as filed for record with Quebec Resources Naturelles et Faune:
In order to acquire the claims, we paid $6,500 cash and 500,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Michael Carr, the vendor of the property in an arm’s length transaction.
Our plan of operation is to determine whether the Lac Dube claims contain reserves of Uranium, gold and/or silver that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts from the property will be dependent upon the discovery of sufficient reserves, confirmation of necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property agreement and to complete the development of the property and upon future profitable production or proceeds for the sale thereof.
Even if we complete our proposed exploration programs on the Lac Dube claims and they are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit.
Labor and Other Supplies
We contract all labor for the development of Mineral claims acreage in a multi-phase program as recommended by our professional consultants.
Commodity Price Volatility
While gold has hit near-record levels and silver prices have kept pace proportionately, these prices are subject to two-fold influences: supply and demand and commodity speculators. One factor that seems to indicate continued strong prices is the downturn in our economy and the weakness of the US dollar. A segment of the investment community has turned to gold, particularly, as a hedge against the effect of these two situations. Demand for Uranium remains high world-wide.
Seasonality
The exploration for both base and precious minerals depends on access to areas where operations are to be conducted. Seasonal weather variations, including freeze-up and break-up affect access in certain circumstances. These factors influence the timing of our business plan and

Governmental Regulation
Canada
Mineral exploration in Canada is subject to extensive controls and regulations imposed by various levels of government. We do not expect that any of these controls or regulations will affect our operations in a manner materially different than they would affect other exploration companies of similar size.
In addition to federal regulation, each province has legislation and regulations which govern claim tenure, environmental protection and other matters.
United States
Our operations could be subject to various types of regulation at the federal, state and local levels should be decide to do exploration in the US. Such regulation includes requiring permits for the development of the property should preliminary exploration so indicate.
Our business is affected by numerous laws and regulations, including energy, environmental, conservation, tax and other laws and regulations relating to the mining industry. We plan to develop internal procedures and policies to ensure that our operations are conducted in full and substantial environmental regulatory compliance.
Failure to comply with any laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of injunctive relief or both. Moreover, changes in any of these laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on business. In view of the many uncertainties with respect to current and future laws and regulations, including their applicability to us, we cannot predict the overall effect of such laws and regulations on our future operations.
We believe that our operations comply in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations and that the existence and enforcement of such laws and regulations have no more restrictive an effect on our operations than on other similar companies in the mineral exploration industry. We do not anticipate any material capital expenditures to comply with federal and state environmental requirements.
Environmental Regulation
Canada
All phases of the mining industry are governed by environmental regulation under Canadian federal and provincial laws, rules and regulations, which restrict and prohibit the release or emission and regulate the storage and transportation of various substances produced or utilized in association with exploration efforts. In addition, applicable environmental laws require that trenching and drilling sites be abandoned and reclaimed, to the satisfaction of provincial authorities, in order to remediate these sites to near natural conditions. Also, environmental laws may impose upon “responsible persons” remediation obligations on property designated as a site to be reclaimed. Compliance with such legislation can require significant expenditures. A breach of environmental laws may result in the imposition of fines and penalties and suspension of production, in addition to the costs of abandonment and reclamation.
5
United States
Operations on properties in which we may have an interest are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws that regulate the discharge or disposal of materials or substances into the environment and otherwise are intended to protect the environment. Numerous governmental agencies issue rules and regulations to implement and enforce such laws, which are often difficult and costly to comply with and which carry substantial administrative, civil and criminal penalties and in some cases injunctive relief for failure to comply.
Some laws, rules and regulations relating to the protection of the environment may, in certain circumstances, impose “strict liability” for environmental contamination. These laws render a person or company liable for environmental and natural resource damages and cleanup costs. and, in the case of oil spills in certain states, consequential damages without regard to negligence or fault.
We have established guidelines and management systems to ensure compliance with environmental laws, rules and regulations. The existence of these controls cannot, however, guarantee total compliance with environmental laws, rules and regulations. We believe that the operator of the properties in which we may have an interest will be in substantial compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. chase. The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured or indemnified against could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations. Compliance with environmental requirements, including financial assurance requirements and the costs associated with the remediation of any significant disturbance of the terrain could have a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
Risk Factors
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete all intended exploration of the Lac Dube claims, and therefore we will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. As of March 31, 2008 we had cash in the amount of $10,383. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income.
Our business plan calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of the Lac Dube claims. We do not currently have sufficient funds to conduct initial exploration on the property and require additional financing in order to determine whether the property contains economic mineralization. We will also require additional financing if the costs of the exploration of the Lac Dube claims are greater than anticipated.
We will require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues once exploration is complete. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing if required. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market prices for base and precious metals and uranium, investor acceptance of our property and general market conditions. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us.
6
The most likely source of future funds presently available to us is through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders. The only other anticipated alternative for the financing of further exploration would be our sale of a partial interest in the Lac Dube claims to a third party in exchange for cash or exploration expenditures, which is not presently contemplated.
BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT COMMENCED BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.
Although we are preparing to commence exploration on the Lac Dube claims in the fall of 2008, we have not yet commenced exploration on the property. Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. We were incorporated on January 11, 2007 and have been involved primarily in organizational activities and the acquisition of our mineral 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 Lac Dube claims and the production of minerals from the claims, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations.
There is limited history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
BECAUSE OF THE SPECULATIVE NATURE OF EXPLORATION OF MINING PROPERTIES, THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL RISK THAT OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that our mineral claims contain economic mineralization or reserves of Uranium. Exploration for minerals is a speculative venture necessarily involving substantial risk. Our exploration of the Lac Dube claims may not result in the discovery of commercial quantities of copper, silver or gold. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business plan.
BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT DANGERS INVOLVED IN MINERAL EXPLORATION, THERE IS A RISK THAT WE MAY INCUR LIABILITY OR DAMAGES AS WE CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS.
7
The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.
EVEN IF WE DISCOVER RESERVES OF URANIUM ON THE LAC DUBE CLAIMS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DEVELOP THE LAC DUBE CLAIMS.
The Lac Dube claims do not contain any confirmed bodies of mineralization. If our exploration programs are successful in establishing minerals of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to further develop the property. At this time, we cannot assure investors that we will be able to obtain such financing.
WE NEED TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN IF OUR BUSINESS IS TO SUCCEED.
Our independent accountant’s report to our audited financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2008, indicates that there are a number of factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such factors identified in the report are our accumulated deficit since inception, our failure to attain profitable operations and our dependence upon obtaining adequate financing to pay our liabilities. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely investors will lose their investments.
IF WE BECOME SUBJECT TO BURDENSOME GOVERNMENT REGULATION OR OTHER LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED.
There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral property exploration and development. Under British Columbia mining law, to engage in certain types of exploration will require work permits, the posting of bonds, and the performance of remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land. While these current laws do not affect our current exploration plans, if we proceed to commence drilling operations on the Lac Dube claims, we will incur modest regulatory compliance costs.
In addition, the legal and regulatory environment that pertains to the exploration of ore is uncertain and may change. Uncertainty and new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from exploring for ore deposits. The growth of demand for ore may also be significantly slowed. This could delay growth in potential demand for and limit our ability to generate revenues. In addition to new laws and regulations being adopted, existing laws may be applied to mining that have not as yet been applied. These new laws may increase our cost of doing business with the result that our financial condition and operating results may be harmed.
BECAUSE MANAGEMENT HAS NO TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE IN MINERAL EXPLORATION, OUR BUSINESS HAS A HIGHER RISK OF FAILURE.
Our directors do not have any technical training in the field of geology. As a result, we may not be able to recognize and take advantage of potential acquisition and exploration opportunities in the sector without the aid of qualified geological consultants. As well, with no direct training or experience, our management may not be fully aware of the specific requirements related to working in this industry. Their decisions and choices may not be well thought out and our operations and ultimate financial success may suffer irreparable harm as a result.
BECAUSE OUR DIRECTORS HAVE OTHER BUSINESS INTERESTS, HE MAY NOT BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, CAUSING OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
Our president, Mr. Keating intends to devote 10 hours per week to our business affairs. It is possible that the demands on Mr. Keating from other obligations could increase with the result that he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business. In addition, Mr. Keating may not possess sufficient time for our business if the demands of managing our business increased substantially beyond current levels.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock:
If A Market For Our Common Stock Does Not Develop, Shareholders May Be Unable To Sell Their Shares.
There is currently no market for our common stock and we can provide no assurance that a market will develop. We currently plan to apply for listing of our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. However, we can provide investors with no assurance that our shares will be traded on the bulletin board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize. If no market is ever developed for our shares, it will be difficult for shareholders to sell their stock. In such a case, shareholders may find that they are unable to achieve benefits from their investment.
If We Fail to Remain Current in Our Reporting Requirements, We Could be Removed From the OTC Bulletin Board Which Would Limit the Ability of Broker-Dealers to Sell Our Securities and the Ability of Stockholders to Sell Their Securities in the Secondary Market.
Companies trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, such as us, must be reporting issuers under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and must be current in their reports under Section 13, in order to maintain price quotation privileges on the OTC Bulletin Board. If we fail to remain current on our reporting requirements, we could be removed from the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, the market liquidity for our securities could be severely adversely affected by limiting the ability of broker-dealers to sell our securities and the ability of stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Authorization of preferred stock.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences determined from time to time by its Board of Directors. Accordingly, our Board of Directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. In the event of issuance, the preferred stock could be utilized, under certain circumstances, as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company. Although we have no present intention to issue any shares of our authorized preferred stock, there can be no assurance that the Company will not do so in the future.
9
The Shares are an illiquid investment and transferability of the Shares is subject to significant restriction
There are substantial restrictions on the transfer of the Shares. Therefore, the purchase of the Shares must be considered a long-term investment acceptable only for prospective investors who are willing and can afford to accept and bear the substantial risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time. There is not a public market for the resale of the Shares. A prospective investor, therefore, may not be able to liquidate
its investment, even in the event of an emergency, and Shares may not be acceptable as collateral for a loan.
Our Common Stock is Subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the Trading Market in Our Securities is Limited, Which Makes Transactions in Our Stock Cumbersome and May Reduce the Value of an Investment in Our Stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
| | |
| · | that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks; and |
| · | the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
| | |
| · | obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and |
| · | make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
| | |
| · | sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and |
| · | that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

We own a 100% interest in the mining claims comprising the Lac Dube claims, located approximately 200 km northwest and 65-70 km northeast of Montreal and Mont-Laurier, respectively. The property, which consists of 16 contiguous mining claims (940.04 ha), is situated in the Franchere Township (NTS Map 31J/15) in southwestern Quebec.
We purchased these claims from Mr. Michael Carr of Calgary, Alberta for a cash payment of $ 6,500 and 500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.001 per share ($500) for a total price of $7,000.
ITEM 3: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

Item 7: Management’s Discussion And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements. Information in this Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation," and elsewhere in this 10-K that does not consist of historical facts, are "forward-looking statements." Statements accompanied or qualified by, or containing words such as "may," "will," "should," "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "outlook," "forecast," "anticipates," "presume," and "assume" constitute forward-looking statements, and as such, are not a guarantee of future perform ance. The statements involve factors, risks and uncertainties including those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section contained elsewhere in this report, the impact or occurrence of which can cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results described in such statements. Risks and uncertainties can include, among others, fluctuations in general business cycles and changing economic conditions; changing product demand and industry capacity; increased competition and pricing pressures; advances in technology that can reduce the demand for the Company's products, as well as other factors, many or all of which may be beyond the Company's control. Consequently, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as predictive of future results. The Company disclaims any obligation to update the forward-looking statements in this report.
Overview
Prices of base metals (copper, lead, zinc, etc.) are at historic highs. Gold, silver and platinum are at their highest prices in years. Uranium is currently over $95.00 per pound. Mining prospects that a few years ago would be rejected are now economically feasible. Exploration for minerals all over the world has opened new areas for investigation.
12
We intend to commence operations as an exploration stage mineral exploration company. As such, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our sole mineral property interest, the Lac Dube claims. Further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of the Lac Dube claims is determined.
We will be engaged in the acquisition, and exploration of mineral properties with a view to exploiting any mineral deposits we discover that demonstrate economic feasibility. We acquired a 100% undivided right, title and interest in and to several mineral claims located in the Laurentides Region near Mont Laurier, Quebec, as filed for record with Quebec Resources Naturelles et Faune:
In order to acquire the claims, we paid $6,500 cash and 500,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Michael Carr, the vendor of the property in an arm’s length transaction.
Our plan of operation is to determine whether the Lac Dube claims contain reserves of Uranium, gold and/or silver that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of amounts from the property will be dependent upon the discovery of sufficient reserves, confirmation of necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property agreement and to complete the development of the property and upon future profitable production or proceeds for the sale thereof.
Even if we complete our proposed exploration programs on the Lac Dube claims and they are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit.
Lac Dube Claims Purchase Agreement
On March 19, 2007, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Michael Carr of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, whereby he agreed to sell us a total of 16 claim units comprising a large block of mineral claims located 200 km northwest of Montreal and 65-70 km northeast of a small city, Mont-Laurier (Figure 1 and 2). It is centered on Latitude 46°55¢30²North and Longitude 74°58¢30²West and occurs within NTS Map sheet 31J/15.
We agreed to have Mr. Carr hold these claims in trust on our behalf for the sum of $6,500 and 500,000 shares of our restricted stock for a 100% undivided right, title and interest in and to these claims.
Title to the Lac Dube claims
The Lac Dube claims consist of one large block of mineral claims covering an area of 940.04 hectares (2,323 acres). A “mineral claim” refers to a specific section of land over which a title holder owns rights to exploration to ground. Such rights may be transferred or held in trust. The claims comprising the Lac Dube claims are registered 100% in the name of Ridgestake Resources. These claims will only be valid as long as we spend a minimum of $1,200 in exploration work on each one each year. The minimum expenditure on our group of claims must be made on or before November 23, 2008.

If Michael Carr, as trustee, becomes bankrupt or transfers the claims to a third party, we may incur significant legal expenses in enforcing our interest in the claims in Quebec courts.
The registration of the claims in the name of a trustee does not impact a third party’s ability to commence an action against us respecting the Lac Dube claims or to seize the claims after obtaining judgment.

Description, Location and Access
The property is located approximately 200 km northwest of Montreal and 65-70 km northeast of a small city, Mont-Laurier (Figure 1 and 2). It is centered on Latitude 46°55¢30²North and Longitude 74°58¢30²West and occurs within NTS Map sheet 31J/15.
14
The property is easily accessible by provincial highways and paved roads from major centers of Quebec and Quebec (Figure 2). For example from Montreal, highways 15 and 117, and from Ottawa-Hull area, highways 309 and 311 are used to reach the city of Mont-Laurier, which is located 65-70 km southwest of Lac Dube property. From Mont-Laurier, the two paved roads (highways 309 and 311) linking the two logging/gravel roads (Chemin des Pionniers and Rivere du Lievre) can be used to access the northwestandsouth ends of the property. Several secondary but drivable logging roads and ATV trails, originating from these major logging roads, allow access to most of the claims.
Mont-Laurier is the closest full service community providing excellent infrastructure and skilled manpower. In addition to this city, two small farming communities of Lac St. Paul and Mont St. Michel, located approximately 25 and 20 kilometers southwest of the property, respectively, could also be used for a short term exploration base. A pair of high voltage power lines passing just few kilometers east of Lac Dube property.

Mineralization and Exploration History
The Mont-Laurier area first experienced uranium exploration in 1956. However, it was not until 1967, when a prospector, Mr. L. Lavoie, collected a sample that yielded 2 pounds/ton U3O8 (1000 ppm) on the property presently held by Nova Uranium Corporation (Moore and Harris 2005), located few kilometers west of current Lac Dube property.
Following the uranium discovery, numerous exploration companies and individuals started the staking rush to acquire grounds in the area. The most active exploration and development work after the discovery was conducted from late 60’s to 70’s by Canadian Johns Manville Company Ltd. who explored the discovery area (also known as Mekoos area) in detail. Other companies, who also conducted significant work from early 70’s to mid-80 in the area, include Mont-Laurier Uranium Corp., Allied Mining Corp., Gulf Minerals Canada Ltd., Seneca Development Ltd., United Asbestos Corp., Perodeau Mining Inc. and Soquem. These companies and other individuals carried out exploration programs that included ground scintillometre prospecting, ground and airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys, line cutting, geological mapping, stream sediments and soil geochemical surveys, bulk sampling, trenching and diamond drilling.
The majority of historical work by these companies was concentrated in Leman Township that resulted into discoveries of Hanson Lake, Tom Dick, JRB-4 and few other prospects and numerous occurrences. Adjacent Franchere Township, host to current Lac Dube property, also experienced fair amount of exploration work by companies, such as Gulf Minerals Canada Ltd., Canadian Johns Manville and Bomet Mines Ltd., but no significant uranium mineralization was discovered.
Geological Report: Lac Dube claims
We have obtained a geological report on the Lac Dube claims that was prepared by Ike A. Osmani, M.Sc., P.Geo., Coast Mountain Geological Ltd., Vancouver, BC. In his report, Mr. Osami reports that the Lac Dube claims have no history of Uranium deposits but due to very little exploration on this property, further work should be done.
We do not have an agreement with Mr. Osami to provide further geological services for planned exploration work on the Lac Dube claims.
Compliance with Government Regulation
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in Canada generally, and in the province of Quebec, specifically. Under these laws, prior to production, we have the right to explore the property, subject only to a notice of work. We would avoid having to post a bond required if we do not significantly disturb the surface of the land.
In addition, production of minerals in the province of Quebec requires prior approval of applicable governmental regulatory agencies. This would almost certainly require a feasibility study and an environmental impact report. We can provide no assurance to investors that such approvals will be obtained. The cost and delay involved in attempting to obtain such approvals cannot be known at this time.
18
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 program that will be undertaken beyond completion of the currently planned work programs. Because there is presently no information on the size, tenor, or quality of any resource or reserve at this time, it is impossible to assess the impact of any capital expenditures on earnings or our competitive position in the event a potentially economic deposit is discovered.
If we enter into production, the cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater than in the exploration phases because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of any production program if the project continues to that stage because of the potential impact on the environment. Examples of regulatory requirements include:
-
Water discharge will have to meet water standards;
-
Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated;
-
Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and re-vegetated;
-
An assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to be environmentally benign;
-
Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants;
-
The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be re-mediated; and
-
There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna and flora.
During the initial phases of exploration, there will be no significant costs of compliance with government regulations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company will need additional investments in order to continue operations. Additional investments are being sought, but the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain such investments. Financing transactions may include the issuance of equity or debt securities, obtaining credit facilities, or other financing mechanisms. The recent downturn in the U.S. stock and debt markets could make it more difficult to obtain financing through the issuance of equity or debt securities. Even if the Company is able to raise the funds required, it is possible that it could incur unexpected costs and expenses, fail to collect significant amounts owed to it, or experience unexpected cash requirements that would force it to seek alternative financing. Further, if the Company issues additional equity or debt securities, stockholders may experience additional dilution or the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of exi sting holders

Results of Operations
For the year ended January 31, 2009, compared to the year March 31, 2009.
Revenues
Revenues for the year ended March 31, 2009, and 2008 were $-0- and $-0-, respectively, reflecting our startup nature.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2009, and 2008 were $14,106 and $24,617, respectively. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of accounting and filing fees.
Net Loss
Our net loss for the year ended March 31, 2009, and 2008, amounted to ($40,323) and ($26,217), respectively.
From January 11, 2007 (Date of Inception) through March 31, 2009
Revenues
We have not earned any revenues from our incorporation on October 19, 2006 to March 31, 2009. We do not anticipate earning revenues until, if and when we drill, complete and produce from our first successful well.
Operating Expenses
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $35,273for the period from our inception on January 11, 2007 to March 31, 2009. These operating expenses were comprised of exploration costs of 19,582 and general and administrative expenses of $15,691
Net Loss
Our net loss for the period from our inception on January 11, 2007 to March 31, 2009 was $35,273.
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.
Operations Plans
1.
Construction of a grid, at 100 m line spacing, in selected areas, for example, the southwestern and northwestern parts of the property.
2. Ground magnetic and radiometric surveys over the newly cut grid as stated above.
20
3. Prospecting and extensive sampling for uranium mineralization to be carried out over the entire property but greater emphasis should be given in the areas of favorable geophysical anomalies. Although no rare metal occurrence (e.g., niobium, tantalum and lithium) has been reported to date on the property or in the general area, it is recommended here that selected pegmatite samples, especially those containing two-mica (biotite and muscovite) pegmatites, should also be analyzed for these metals. The uranium-bearing pegmatites are often enriched in rare metals.
4. Bedrock mapping, at a scale of 1:5,000 or 1:10,000, over the entire property with emphasis on structural aspects of the survey is recommended. The bedrock mapping should also be accompanied with selected sampling for whole rock and trace element analyses.
4.
A second phase of exploration program, including diamond drillingshould follow if positive results were achieved from the works stated in recommendations 1 to 4.

Our cash reserves are not sufficient to meet our obligations for the next twelve-month period. As a result, we will need to seek additional funding in the near future. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. Our management is prepared to provide us with short-term loans, although no such arrangement has been made. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing. Management feels that having our shares quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board quotation system may make attracting further capital easier.
We have not and do not intend to seek debt financing by way of bank loan, line of credit or otherwise. Financial institutions do not typically lend money to mineral exploration companies with no stable source of revenue.
If we do not secure additional funding for exploration expenditures, we may consider seeking an arrangement with a joint venture partner that would provide the required funding in exchange for receiving a part interest in the Lac Dube claims. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture partner. There is no guarantee that we will be able to locate a joint venture partner who will assist us in funding exploration expenditures upon acceptable terms. We may also pursue acquiring interests in alternate mineral properties in the future.

ITEM 9A: CONTROLS & PROCEDURES
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) and pursuant to Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of June 30, 2008. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Based on our evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and were fully ineffective as of March 31, 2009 in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Brazos International Exploration, Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Brazos International Exploration, Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 and since inception on January 11, 2007 through March 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conduct our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brazos International Exploration, Inc. (An Exploration Stage Company) as of March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008 and since inception on January 11, 2007 through March 31, 2009, 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 5 to the financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $40,323, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 5. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

BRAZOS INTERNATIONAL EXPLORATION, INC.
for the period ended March 31, 2009
an Exploration Stage Company
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 – NATURE AND PURPOSE OF BUSINESS
Brazos International Exploration, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 11, 2007. The Company’s activities to date have been limited to organization and capital formation. The Company is (SFAS NO.7)“an exploration stage company” and has acquired a series of mining claims for exploration and formulated a business plan to investigate the possibilities of a viable mineral deposit. The Company has adopted March 31 as its fiscal year end.
NOTE 2 – NATURE OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company considers revenue to be recognized at the time the service is performed.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company’s short-term financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate fair value because of their short-term maturities. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash. During the year the Company did not maintain cash deposits at financial institution in excess of the $100,000 limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes nor does it hold or issue interest rate or leveraged derivative financial instruments.
ADVERTISING
As of March 31st/2009, we have incurred no advertising costs.
F-5
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic Earnings per Share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock shares outstanding during the year plus potential dilutive instruments such as stock options and warrant. The effect of stock options on diluted EPS is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price
F6
during the period. Loss per share is unchanged on a diluted basis since the assumed exercise of common stock equivalents would have an anti-dilutive effect.
INCOME TAXES:
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as required by SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of certain assets and liabilities. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minu s the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expanse items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are
classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of the assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an
asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company had no significant deferred tax items arise during any of the periods presented.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:
The Company does not have any concentration of related financial credit risk.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting pronouncements will have a material impact to its financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 provides guidance on estimating fair value when market activity has decreased and on identifying transactions that are not orderly. Additionally, entities are required to disclose in interim and annual periods the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operation.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active,” (“FSP FAS 157-3”), which clarifies application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The adoption of FSP FAS 157-3 had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities.” This disclosure-only FSP improves the transparency of transfers of financial assets and an enterprise’s involvement with variable interest entities, including qualifying special-purpose entities. This FSP is effective for the first reporting period (interim or annual) ending after December 15, 2008, with earlier application encouraged. The Company adopted this FSP effective January 1, 2009. The adoption of the FSP had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 132(R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets” (“FSP FAS 132(R)-1”). FSP FAS 132(R)-1 requires additional fair value disclosures about employers’ pension and postretirement benefit plan assets consistent with guidance contained in SFAS 157. Specifically, employers will be required to disclose information about how investment allocation decisions are made, the fair value of each major category of plan assets and information about the inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the fair value measurements of plan assets. This FSP is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 132(R)-1 will have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operation.
In September 2008, the FASB issued exposure drafts that eliminate qualifying special purpose entities from the guidance of SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,” and FASB Interpretation 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities − an interpretation of ARB No. 51,” as well as other modifications. While the proposed revised pronouncements have not been finalized and the proposals are subject to further public comment, the Company anticipates the changes will not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements. The changes would be effective March 1, 2010, on a prospective basis.
In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 03-6-1,Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities, (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore need to be included in the computation of earnings per share under the two-class method as described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and earlier adoption is prohibited. We are not required to adopt FSP EITF 03-6-1; neither do we believe that FSP EITF 03-6-1 would have material effect on our consolidated financial positionand results of operations if adopted.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60”. SFAS No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claims liabilities. This statement also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS No. 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 163 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS No. 162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOB’s amendments to AU Section 411 of the AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No. 162 has no effect on the Company’s financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This standard requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110 regarding the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB 107), in developing an estimate of expected term of "plain vanilla" share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment. In particular, the staff indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a company's election to use the simplified method, regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates of expected term. At the time SAB 107 was issued, the staff believed that more detailed external information about employee exercise behavior (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry and/or other categories of companies) would, over time, become readily available to companies. Therefore, the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect a company to use the simplified method for share option grants after D ecember 31, 2007. The staff understands that such detailed information about employee exercise behavior may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company currently uses the simplified method for “plain vanilla” share options and warrants, and will assess the impact of SAB 110 for fiscal year 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests. As a result, considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called minority interests were reported in the consolidated statement of financial position as liabilities or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. This statement improves comparability by eliminating that diversity. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related Statement 141 (revised 2007). The Company will adopt this Statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
F-9
In December 2007, the FASB, issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations’. This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, but retains the fundamental requirements in Statement 141. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company will adopt this statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB, issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This option is available to all entities. Most of the provisions in FAS 159 are elective; however, an amendment to FAS 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities applies to all entities with available for sale or trading securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that do not report net income. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 159 beginning March 1, 2008 and is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of this pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements fo r that fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal
F-10
year. The Company will adopt this statement March 1, 2008, and it is not believed that this will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 3 – MINERAL CLAIMS
On March 19, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Michael Carr of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, whereby he agreed to sell us a total of 21 units comprising two large blocks of mineral claims located approximately 16 kilometers from the village of Long Lake, Ontario. Mr. Carr agreed to hold these claims in trust on our behalf for the sum of $10,000 and 500,000 shares of stock for a 100% undivided right, title and interest in and to these claims.
NOTE 4 – COMMON STOCK
The Company issued 1,100,000 shares of its common stock on January 11, 2007in exchange for services rendered valued at $1,100.
During the year ended June 30, 2007 the Company issued 3,500,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for cash. The shares were valued at $.01 per share for an aggregate value of $35,000.
The Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock in March 2007 as a partial payment for the acquisition of mineral claims (see Note 3). These shares were valued at $.001 per share for an aggregate value of $500.
NOTE 5 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has no sales and has incurred a net loss of $ 40,323 since inception. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of its mineral properties. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement and public offering of its common stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classifications of recorded assets, or the amounts of and the classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
