PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information and the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Prospective investors should consider carefully the information discussed under “Risk Factors.” An investment in our securities presents substantial risks, and you could lose all or substantially all of your investment. In this Prospectus, references to “U.S. dollars” or “US$” are to the currency of the United States, and references to, unless otherwise indicated, “Canadian dollars” or “Cdn$” are the currency of Canada. If not otherwise specified, amounts are given in Canadian Dollars.
Our Company
We were incorporated in the Province of Alberta on June 20, 2007. We were extra-provincially registered in the Province of British Columbia on July 13, 2007. Our business address is 2034 – 33rd Street S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T3E 2S8. Our telephone number is (403) 517-3330. We are a natural resource exploration stage company and anticipate acquiring, exploring, and if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource properties. We currently hold a 100% interest in Undersurface Rights registered against titles standing in the name of Her Majesty the Queen in Right of the Province of British Columbia, as Instrument Number BB297403, known as the Petch Claim Group. A legal description of the lands under the Petch Claim Group can be found under Business Overview on Page
18 of this Prospectus.
The Petch Claim Group is located in the Skeena Mining Division of the Cassiar Land District in British Columbia, Canada, located approximately one (1) mile southeast of Stewart, British Columbia, Canada(the “Petch Claim Group”). See “BUSINESS OVERVIEW – Principal Exploration Project.”
Our valuation of the Petch Claim Group and our decision to purchase the Undersurface Rights of these claims was based on a private geological report. The report was made available to the directors of the Company by the geologist that authored the report, however the author is deceased and we do not have consent to publish the contents of the report from the author. The claims were located and staked using an online claim staking system operated by the Province of British Columbia, Canada and were selected from a seamless geological staking map. We will only have the Undersurface Rights to the area staked regarding Undersurface Rights number TD9112 registered against State of Title Certificates with the British Columbia Land Title and Survey Authority. These claims were originally surveyed in 1925, as part of a larger block, prior to being brought to crown grant status. Prior to crown grant status, initial work was carried out on these properties in the early 1920’s and high grade silver lead ore was being sacked from oxidized veins. In the Stewart area, gold and silver values are associated with quartz+ carbonate fissure and replacement veins in pyritic, silicified shears, in cataclasites, with specks to veins and masses of galena, sphalerite, tetrahedrite and chalcopyrite. Sometimes electrum, native silver, argentite, ruby silver or other sulphosalt minerals occur. Late stage quartz corbonate epidote flat gas filings often contain sulphides occasionally of economic proportions. The high grade Flat Vein is such a case. It lies very close to the claims just across the Silverado Canyon. A private geological engineering report was reviewed by our management. We have not visited the Petch Claim Group and intend to undertake a visit with a qualified geologist upon raising the funds under this Offering. Based on a review of the geological report, and the recommend ation for a more thorough investigation, we have determined to undertake our own geological analysis of the Petch Claim Group with a first phase program to include prospecting, contour soil sampling and mapping to follow-up to two discoveries described in the geological report. We expect this initial sampling program to identify targets for follow-up trenching and drill testing. We have not yet retained a geologist or a firm of geologists to undertake this exploration program. We will interview and retain a qualified geologist upon the completion of our offering as we do not presently have sufficient funds to undertake the work program we anticipate. See “BUSINESS OVERVIEW – Principal Exploration Project.”

No commercially viable mineral deposit may exist on our mineral claims. Our plan of operations is to carry out geological analysis of these claims as described above in order to ascertain whether they possess deposits of gold and silver. We can provide no assurance to investors that our mineral claims contain a commercially viable mineral deposit until appropriate exploratory work is done and an evaluation based on that work concludes further work programs are justified. As of the date of this Prospectus, we are not in possession of any more recent data on the Petch Claim Group, in British Columbia, Canada. As of the date of this Prospectus, we are not in possession of sufficient data to provide reliable estimates on the poundage and quality of the potential gold and silver or silver resources which may exist on the Petch Claim Group. At the time of this Prospectus, we have no known res erves on our minerals claims.
For the period from June 20, 2007, to the filing of this Prospectus, we have not generated any revenue.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities should be considered highly speculative due to various factors, including the nature of our business and the present stage of our development. An investment in our securities should only be undertaken by persons who have sufficient financial resources to afford the total loss of their investment. In addition to the usual risks associated with investment in a business, the following is a general description of significant risk factors which should be considered. You should carefully consider the following material risk factors and all other information contained in this Prospectus before deciding to invest in our Common Shares. If any of the following risks occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. Additional risks and uncertainties we do not presently know or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our bus iness, financial condition or operating results.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
1.
We have no operating history and have earned no revenues to date.
We have no operating history or revenues. We expect to incur losses in the foreseeable future due to significant costs associated with our business development, including costs associated with our operations. There can be no assurance that our operations will ever generate sufficient revenues to fund our continuing operations or that we will ever generate positive cash flow from our operations. Further, we can give no assurance that we will attain or thereafter sustain profitability in any future period.
2.
Mineral exploration is highly speculative in nature and there can be no certainty of our successful development of profitable commercial mining operations.
The exploration and the development of mineral properties involve significant risks which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of an ore body may result in substantial rewards, few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Substantial expenses may be incurred to locate and establish mineral reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade, and proximity to infrastructure; metals prices which are highly cyclical; drilling and other related costs which appear to be rising; and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.
Although we do not currently operate a mine on the Petch Claim Group, we intend to pursue the development of a gold and silver mine at the Petch Claim Group. There is no certainty that the expenditures made by us towards the exploration and evaluation of mineral deposits will result in discoveries of commercial quantities of ore.
3.
Mining operations generally involve a high degree of risk.
Mining operations are subject to all the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration, development and production of base or precious metals, including unusual and unexpected geological formations, seismic activity, rock bursts, cave-ins, flooding and other conditions involved in the drilling and removal of material, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, mines and other producing facilities, damage to life or property, environmental damage and possible legal liability. Mining operations could also experience periodic interruptions due to bad or hazardous weather conditions and other acts of God. Milling operations are subject to hazards such as equipment failure or failure of retaining dams around tailing disposal areas which may result in environmental pollution and consequent liability.
6
If any of these risks and hazards adversely affect our mining operations or our exploration activities, they may: (i) increase the cost of exploration to a point where it is no longer economically feasible to continue operations; (ii) require us to write down the carrying value of one or more mines or a property; (iii) cause delays or a stoppage in the exploration of minerals; (iv) result in damage to or destruction of mineral properties or processing facilities; and (v) result in personal injury or death or legal liability. Any or all of these adverse consequences may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and future cash flows.
4.
We are an exploration-stage company with no operating history and our estimates of mineralization are only preliminary and based primarily on past geological mapping, silt, soil and rock sampling which may not reflect the actual deposits or the economic viability of extraction.
Categories of inferred, indicated and measured mineral resources are recognized in order of increasing geological confidence. However, mineral resources are not equivalent to mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There can be no assurance that mineral resources in a lower category may be converted to a higher category, or that mineral resources can be converted to mineral reserves. Inferred mineral resources cannot be converted into mineral reserves as the ability to assess geological continuity is not sufficient to demonstrate economic viability. Due to the uncertainty which may attach to inferred mineral resources, there is no assurance that inferred mineral resources will be upgraded to indicated or measured mineral resources with sufficient geological continuity to constitute proven and probable mineral reserves as a result of continued exploration.
There is a degree of uncertainty to the estimation of mineral reserves and mineral resources and corresponding grades being mined or dedicated to future production. The estimating of mineralization is a subjective process and the accuracy of estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of data, the accuracy of statistical computations, and the assumptions used and judgments made in interpreting engineering and geological information. There is significant uncertainty in any mineralization estimate, and the actual deposits encountered and the economic viability of mining a deposit may differ significantly from our estimates. Until mineral reserves or mineral resources are actually mined and processed, the quantity of mineral and reserve grades must be considered as estimates only. In addition, the quantity of mineral reserves and mineral resources may vary depending on, among other things, metal prices. Any ma terial change in quantity or mineral reserves, mineral resources, grade of stripping ration may affect the economic viability of the properties. In addition, there can be no assurance that recoveries in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in larger scale tests under on-site conditions or during production. Fluctuation in metals prices, results of drilling, metallurgical testing and production and the evaluation of mine plans subsequent to the date of any estimate may require revision of such estimate. The volume and grade of reserves mined and processed and recovery rates may not be the same as currently anticipated. Estimates may have to be recalculated based on changes in minerals prices of further exploration activity. This could materially and adversely affect estimates of the volume or grade of mineralization, estimated recover rates or resources, or of our ability to extract these mineral reserves, could have a material effect on our financial condition, result s of operations and future cash flows.
5.
We may not be able to compete with current and potential exploration companies, some of whom have greater resources and experience than we do in developing mineral reserves.
The natural resource market is intensely competitive, highly fragmented and subject to rapid change. We may be unable to compete successfully with our existing competitors or with any new competitors. We will be competing with many exploration companies which have significantly greater personnel, financial, managerial and technical resources than we do. This competition from other companies with greater resources and reputations may result in our failure to maintain or expand our business.
7
6.
Because our business involves numerous operating hazards, we may be subject to claims of a significant size which would cost a significant amount of funds and resources to rectify. This could force us to cease our operations.
Our operations are subject to the usual hazards inherent in exploring for minerals, such as general accidents, explosions, chemical exposure and craterings. The occurrence of these or similar events could result in the suspension of operations, damage to or destruction of the equipment involved and injury or death to personnel. Operations also may be suspended because of machinery breakdowns, abnormal climatic conditions, seasonal access to roads, access to rail or roads for the shipment of ore, failure of subcontractors to perform or supply goods or services or personnel shortages. The occurrence of any such contingency would require us to incur additional costs, which would adversely affect our business.
7.
Damage to the environment could also result from our operations. If our business is involved in one or more of these hazards, we may be subject to claims of a significant size which could force us to cease our operations.
Mineral resource exploration, production and related operations are subject to extensive rules and regulations of federal, provincial, state and local agencies. Failure to comply with these rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. Our cost of doing business may be affected by the regulatory burden on the mineral industry. Although we intend to substantially comply with all applicable laws and regulations, because these rules and regulations frequently are amended or interpreted, we cannot predict the future cost or impact of complying with these laws.
Environmental enforcement efforts with respect to mineral operations have increased over the years, and it is possible that regulations could expand and have a greater impact on future mineral exploration operations. Although our management intends to comply with all legislation and/or actions of local, provincial, state and federal governments, non-compliance with applicable regulatory requirements could subject us to penalties, fines and regulatory actions, the costs of which could harm our results of operations. We cannot be sure that our proposed business operations will not violate environmental laws in the future.
Our operations and properties are subject to extensive federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of materials into the environment, and relating to safety and health. These laws and regulations may do any of the following: (i) require the acquisition of a permit or other authorization before exploration commences, (ii) restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released in the environment in connection with exploration activities, (iii) limit or prohibit mineral exploration on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas, (iv) require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former operations and (v) impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our proposed operations.
The exploration of mineral reserves is subject to all of the usual hazards and risks associated with mineral exploration, which could result in damage to life or property, environmental damage, and possible legal liability for any or all damages. The exploration activities may be subject to prolonged disruptions due to the weather conditions surrounding the location of the Petch Claim Group. Difficulties, such as unusual or unexpected rock formations encountered by workers but not indicated on a map, or other conditions may be encountered in the gathering of samples and information, and could delay our exploration program. Even though we are at liberty to obtain insurance against certain risks in such amounts we deem adequate, the nature of those risks is such that liabilities could exceed policy limits or be excluded from coverage. We do not currently carry insurance to protect against these risks and there is no assura nce that we will obtain such insurance in the future. There are also risks against which we cannot, or may not elect to insure. The costs, which could be associated with any liabilities, not covered by insurance or in excess of insurance coverage or compliance with applicable laws and regulations may cause substantial delays and require significant capital outlays, adversely affecting our financial position, future earnings, and/or competitive positions.
8
8.
The prices of metals are highly volatile and a decrease in metal prices can have a material adverse effect on our business.
The profitability of natural resource operations are directly related to the market prices of the underlying commodities. The market prices of metals fluctuate significantly and are affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the rate of inflation, the exchange rate of the dollar to other currencies, interest rates, and global economic and political conditions. Price fluctuations in the metals market from the time exploration for a mine is undertaken and the time production can commence can significantly affect the profitability of a mine. Accordingly, we may begin to develop a minerals property at a time when the price of the underlying metals make such exploration economically feasible and subsequently, incur losses because metal prices have decreased. Adverse fluctuations of metals market price may force us to curtail or cease our business operations.
9.
If we lose the services of Mr. Goldenberg, we may not be able to continue to operate our business and may be required to cease operations.
Mr. Goldenberg currently spends approximately one day per week on Ore-More Resources’ business and the loss of his services would negatively impact our operations. If we lost the services of this individual, we would be forced to find other qualified management to assist us in raising the required funding for the Company and maintaining operations while we seek qualified geological staff. This would be costly to us in terms of both time and expenses. We do not maintain an employment agreement with Mr. Goldenberg nor do we have key-man life insurance on him, and therefore Mr. Goldenberg could discontinue his services without prior notice. If we were unable to replace the services and experience of Mr. Goldenberg, we may be forced to discontinue our operations.
10.
Our principal stockholders, officers and directors own a controlling interest in our voting stock and investors will not have any voice in our management, which could result in decisions adverse to our general stockholders.
Subsequent to the offering under this Prospectus if fully subscribed, our principal stockholder and our officers and directors, in the aggregate, will beneficially own approximately or have the right to vote 63.2% of our outstanding Common Shares. As a result, these stockholders, acting together, will have the ability to control substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval including:
●
election of our board of directors;
●
removal of any of our directors;
●
amendment of our Articles of Incorporation or By-laws; and
●
adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us.
As a result of their ownership and positions, our directors and executive officers collectively are able to influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our directors and executive officers, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Shares. Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
9
11.
We may not have access to all of the supplies and materials we need to begin exploration which could cause us to delay or suspend operations.
Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies and certain equipment such as bulldozers and excavators that we might need to conduct exploration. We have not attempted to locate or negotiate with any suppliers of products, equipment or materials. We will attempt to locate products, equipment and materials after this offering is complete. If we cannot find the products, equipment and materials we need, we will have to suspend our exploration plans until we do find the products, equipment and materials we need.
12.
Because of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our securities are considered highly speculative.
Our securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the nature of our business and the early stage of its development. We are engaged in the business of exploring and, if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource properties. The Petch Claim Group is in the exploration stage only and is without known reserves of natural resources. Accordingly, we have not generated any revenues nor have we realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood that we will generate any revenues or realize any profits in the short term. Any profitability in the future from our business will be dependent upon locating and developing economic reserves of natural resources, which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth herein. Since we have not generated any revenues, we will have to raise additional monies through the sale of our equity securities or debt in order t o continue our business operations.
13.
We are an exploration stage company, and there is no assurance that a commercially viable deposit or “reserve” exists in the property in which we have claim.
We are an exploration stage company and cannot assure you that a commercially viable deposit, or “reserve,” exists in our Petch Claim Group. Therefore, determination of the existence of a reserve will depend on appropriate and sufficient exploration work and the evaluation of legal, economic and environmental factors. If we fail to find a commercially viable deposit on the Petch Claim Group, our financial condition and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.
14.
We expect losses to continue in the future because we have no reserves and, consequently, no revenue to offset losses.
Based upon current plans and the fact that we currently do not have any reserves, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the acquisition of, and exploration of natural resource properties which do not have any income-producing reserves. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues may cause us to go out of business. We will require additional funds to achieve our current business strategy and our inability to obtain additional financing will interfere with our ability to expand our current business operations.
15.
It is possible that there may be native or aboriginal claims to our property which could result in us incurring additional expenses to explore the Petch Claim Group.
Although we believe that we have the right to explore the Petch Claim Group, we cannot substantiate that there are not native or aboriginal claims to the Petch Claim Group. If a native or aboriginal claim is made to this property, it would negatively affect our ability to explore this property as we would have to incur significant legal fees protecting our right to explore the property. We may also have to pay third parties to settle such claims. If it is determined that there is a legitimate claim to this property then we may be forced to return this property without adequate consideration. Even if there is no legal basis for such claim, the costs involved in resolving such matter may force us to delay or curtail our exploration completely.
10
16.
Our management team lacks technical training and/or experience in metals exploration or mining.
Mr. Goldenberg, our President, Secretary-Treasurer and Director, and Ms. Deluna, a Director, each have no prior experience in the mining industry. Mr. Goldenberg and Ms. Deluna each have no experience with environment mining issues, and each lacks technical training and experience in starting or operating a mine and no exploration experience. Unless we can retain qualified technical personnel to undertake our exploration plan we may not be able to complete our planned exploration. Further, our operations, earnings, and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management’s lack of experience in this industry.
17.
We have not had the mining claims physically inspected by a professional geologist or mining engineer.
We are relying on a private geological report prepared by a professional geologist who prepared his report for an individual. The Company purchased the Petch Claim Group from Mr. Adelman on October 9, 2007. Mr. Adelman does not have a professional designation in the mining industry. Accordingly, we cannot represent that the findings we report in this Prospectus have been reported or investigated on behalf of the Company by a professional geologist or mining engineer. You must rely on the representations as disclosed in a report which was not prepared for the Company in making your investment decision. Our valuation of the Petch Claim Group and our decision to stake these claims was based on a private geological report completed in 1987.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON SHARES AND THE TRADING MARKET
1.
We may, in the future, issue additional Common Shares which would reduce investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value and an unlimited number of Preferred Shares without par value. The future issuance of our unlimited authorized Common Shares may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our Common Shares held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any Common Shares issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of Common Shares for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the Common Shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our Common Shares.
2.
Our Common Shares are 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 SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a "penny stock" to be any equity security other than a security excluded from such definition by Rule 3a51-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For the purposes relevant to our Company, it is any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.
It is anticipated that our Common Shares will be regarded as a “penny stock”, since our shares are not listed on a national stock exchange or quoted on the NASDAQ Market within the United States, to the extent the market price for its shares is less than $5.00 per share. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, to provide the customer with additional information including current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account, and to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. To the extent these requirements may be applicable they will reduce the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the Common Shares and may severely and adversely affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Common Shares.
3.
There is no current trading market for our securities and if a trading market does not develop, purchasers of our securities may have difficulty selling their shares.
There is currently no established public trading market for our securities and an active trading market in our securities may not develop or, if developed, may not be sustained. We intend to apply for admission to quotation of our securities on the OTC Bulletin Board. If for any reason our Common Shares are not listed on the OTC Bulletin Board or a public trading market does not otherwise develop, purchasers of the Common Shares may have difficulty selling their shares should they desire to do so. No market makers have committed to becoming market makers for our Common Shares and none may do so.
4.
United States securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell the shares offered by this Prospectus.
Secondary trading in Common Shares sold in this offering will not be possible in any state in the U.S. unless and until the Common Shares are qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in such state. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in registering or qualifying the Common Shares for secondary trading, or identifying an available exemption for secondary trading in our Common Shares in every state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the Common Shares in any particular state, the Common Shares could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our Common Shares, the mar ket for the Common Shares could be adversely affected.
5.
Since we are a “Foreign Private Issuer” under United States Securities Laws, our stockholders may have less complete and timely data about us.
We are considered a “foreign private issuer” under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As an issuer incorporated in the Province of Alberta, Canada, we are exempt from Section 14 proxy rules and Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The submission of proxy and annual meeting of stockholders information (prepared to Canadian standards) on Form 6-K and the exemption from Section 16 rules regarding sales of Common Shares by insiders may result in stockholders having less complete and timely data as compared to information that may be available about U.S. issuers.
6.
We have not and do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our Common Shares, and consequently our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
We intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. We have not, and do not, anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Shares in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
11
7.
We may, in the future, issue additional Common Shares or other securities, including our Preferred Shares, which would reduce investors’ percentage ownership and may dilute the value of our shares.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value and an unlimited number of Preferred Shares without par value. We may value any securities issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of additional securities for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may also have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors and might have an adverse effect on the trading market for our Common Shares.
Our Board of Directors may issue, without stockholder approval, Preferred Shares that have rights and preferences superior to those of Common Shares and that may delay or prevent a change of control. After the offering, there will be no Preferred Shares outstanding. However, our Board of Directors may set the rights and preferences of any class of Preferred Shares in its sole discretion without the approval of the holders of Common Shares. The rights and preferences of these Preferred Shares may be superior to those of the Common Shares. Accordingly, the issuance of Preferred Shares may adversely affect the rights of holders of Common Shares. The issuance of Preferred Shares also could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of Ore-More Resources.
8.
We may be deemed to be a Passive Foreign Investment Company and, as a result, United States investors in Ore-More Resources could suffer adverse tax consequences.
A passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, is a non-U.S. corporation that meets an income test and/or an asset test. The income test is met if 75% or more of a corporation’s gross income is “passive income” (generally dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the disposition of passive assets) in any taxable year. The asset test is met if at least 50% of the average value of a corporation’s assets produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. We have not determined whether or not the IRS would treat us as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If we were treated as a PFIC, a U.S. holder of our Common Shares could be subject to substantially increased tax liability, possibly including an interest charge, upon the sale or other disposition of the U.S. holder’s Common Shares or upon the receipt of “excess distributions” from us. In the alternative, if we were treated as a PFIC, U.S. holders may enter into certain U.S. tax elections that may result in current Federal tax liability prior to any distribution or disposition of the shares, and without the assurance of any eventual distribution or successful disposition.

We have an unsecured outstanding loan and accrued interest as at the date of this filing in the amount of One Hundred and Twenty-Nine Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty-Three ($129,623) dollars pursuant a loan agreement dated June 20, 2007, between David Adelman, a shareholder of the Company, as Lender, and Ore-More Resources Inc., as Debtor, wherein the Lender provided us with One Hundred and Twenty Five Thousand ($125,000) dollars (the “Principal Sum”), together with interest thereon or on so much as from time to time remains unpaid, at the rate of Ten (10%) percent, per annum (the “Interest Rate”), calculated as well after as before maturity, default or judgment, until the Principal Sum and interest is paid. Interest at the Interest Rate on the amounts from time to time advanced, computed from the respective dates of such advances will become due and expected to be paid on June 30, 2009.
Reasons for the offer and use of proceeds:
We currently do not have sufficient working capital to commence exploration on our mineral claim. We expect to raise up to One Hundred and Fifty Thousand ($150,000) dollars from the sale of up to 7,500,000 shares of Common Shares at $0.02 per share, assuming all shares are sold.
As at October 31, 2007, we had working capital of Thirty Five Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty Three ($35,623) dollars. We believe these funds will be sufficient to pay all costs of the Offering including accounting, legal, general office costs, transfer agent fees and printing costs. From the proceeds from the Offering, we intend to use Eighty Five Thousand ($85,000) dollars for mineral exploration, Fifteen Thousand ($15,000) dollars for ongoing legal and accounting expenses incurred subsequent to the Offering, and Fifty Thousand ($50,000) dollars for general working capital.
None of the proceeds will be used to pay officers or directors or to repay our outstanding loan.

all located in the Skeena Mining Division, Cassiar Land District, British Columbia, located approximately one (1) mile southeast of Stewart, British Columbia, Canada. We acquired these mineral claims by way of the issuance of 12,000,000 common shares valued at $0.001 per share.
An extensive geological analysis of the Petch Claim Group will be required before we can make an evaluation as to the economic feasibility of finding valuable resources on these grounds. There is no assurance that the exploration of the Petch Claim Group will generate any revenue. In addition, there is no
17
assurance that we will be able to make a lump sum payment required by Loan Agreement dated June 20, 2007, in the current amount One Hundred and Twenty Five Thousand dollars ($125,000) plus interest payable thereon at the rate of Ten (10%) per cent per annum on June 30, 2009.
No commercially viable mineral deposit may exist on our mineral claims. Our plan of operations is to carry out exploration work on these claims in order to ascertain whether they possesses deposits of precious or base metals. We can provide no assurance to investors that our mineral claims contain a commercially viable mineral deposit until appropriate exploratory work is done and an evaluation based on that work concludes further work programs are justified. As of the date of this Prospectus, we are not in possession of any more recent data on the Petch Claim Group. Further, we are not in possession of sufficient data to provide reliable estimates on the poundage and quality of the potential mineral resources which may exist on the Petch Claim Group. At the time of this Prospectus, we have no known reserves on our mineral claims.
We have limited finances and require additional funding in order to accomplish our exploration objectives. There is no assurance that we will have revenues in the future or that we will be able to secure other funding necessary for our future growth and expansion. There is also no assurance that our mineral exploration activities will produce commercially viable reserves. Our efforts to extract minerals may be unprofitable.
We may seek relationships with other mineral exploration and development companies that will allow us to exploit idle and/or undeveloped resources.
To date we have expended a total of Eighty Six Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety Four dollars ($86,394) dollars in consulting fees relating to the acquisition of our mineral claims and our ongoing business and Three Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Seven ($3,377) dollars on professional fees relating to this Offering. These payments were made from funds received pursuant to a loan in the amount of One Hundred and Twenty Five Thousand (Cdn$125,000) dollars which was made to us by one of our stockholders. We have issued a total of 12,000,000 common shares at a value of $0.001 per common share. This amount is reflected in our financial statements as $12,000 under mineral claims acquisition costs.
Business Overview
Principal Exploration Project - Petch Claim Group
Land in British Columbia, Canada, is comprised of both publicly and privately held title. Privately held title may include both surface and mineral rights on a fee-simple basis, or may be severed so that the title to the surface rights is held by one owner and the title to the mineral rights is held by a separate owner. Publicly held lands typically comprise title to the mineral rights of a given tract of land and are administered by the Government of British Columbia, Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. These mineral rights are typically acquired by the process of claim staking, which confers the right to explore and exploit minerals to the individual or corporate staker. Where the mineral rights are held by one entity and the surface rights by another, an agreement with the surface rights holder, containing provisions relating to such terms as access and damage compensation, is typically secured prior to commencement of exploration activities.
We hold a 100% interest in Undersurface Rights registered against title, held by Her Majesty the Queen in Right of the Province of British Columbia, as instrument numberTD9112, known as the Petch Claim Group, Skeena Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada.
The Petch Claim Group is a group of 8 crown granted claims on the west slope of Mount Rainey and is completely surrounded by crown grants. The Petch Claim Group is located in the Skeena Mining Division of the Cassiar Land District, British Columbia, approximately one (1) mile southeast of Stewart, British Columbia (the “Petch Claim Group”). They total approximately three hundred and eighteen (318) acres. The information related to the property and its location was taken from a private geological report dated October 31, 1987 (the “Geological Report”) completed at the request of a certain individual.
18
Our plan of operations is to carry out exploration work on the Petch Claim Group in order to ascertain whether it possesses deposits of gold or silver as per the recommendations of the Geological Report on the Petch Claim Group dated October 31, 1987.
Silver and gold mineralization in the Stewart area is hosted in cataclasites confirmed to the upper member of the Lower Jurassic Unuk River. The Mount Rainey volcanic sequence belongs to this upper member. Dyke swarms are associated with mineralized areas. Individual dykes often intermingle into the ore veins. The Petch Claim Group are about seventy five (75%) percent underlain by Mount Rainey volcanic. Two cataclasite zones make a junction on the property.
Stewart, British Columbia, Canada, is at the north end of the Portland Canal. It is served by an all-weather hard-surfaced highway, has seaport facilities and four thousand (4,000) feet of paved runway. The Petch Claim is located about one (1) mile southeast of Stewart on the west slope of Mount Rainey. Property access is by helicopter and toe-hold landings. Trails are basically over-grown.
The prominent Silverado Canyon parallels and lies adjacent to the north edge of the bulk of the Petch Claim Group.
On the southeast slopes of Mount Rainey on the forerunner of the Prosperity Porter Idaho in the early 1920’s high grade silver lead ore was being sacked from oxidized veins at about four thousand (4,000) feet. With the opening up of a set of west dipping, northerly striking veins, the area blossomed in value. For about four (4) years until 1931 extensive underground development programs were carried out on each. About thirty thousand (30,000) tons were produced from the Prosperity Porter Idaho sector.
Most of the Petch Claim Group was surveyed in 1925, as part of a larger block, prior to being brought to crown grant status. The Safe Key Fraction was crown granted later. Significant history relating to the Petch Claim Group might have been lost since any showings or veins did not rival, at the time, those on adjacent claims. In the past, after a crown grant, any further work was not required to be recorded. Gold at Twenty (Cdn$20.00) dollars or Thirty Five (Cdn$35.00) per ounce was no match for silver which could assay one thousand (1,000) ounces per ton.
In the Stewart area, gold and silver values are associated with quartz+ carbonate fissure and replacement veins in pyritic, silicified shears, in cataclasites, with specks to veins and masses of galena, sphalerite, tetrahedrite and chalcopyrite. Sometimes electrum, native silver, argentite, ruby silver or other sulphosalt minerals occur.
Late stage quartz carbonate epidote flat gash fillings often contain sulphides occasionally of economic proportions. The high grade Flat Vein is such a case. It lies very close to the claims just across the Silverado Canyon.
The Geological Report states that at the elevation of three thousand eight hundred (3,800) feet, carbonate lens-vein in volcanic, which strikes 125° and dips 85° southwest in a small sharp cleft, may be a newly unearthed discovery. Initial value may be low, but combined with the possible shear locations from the next ledge up, a great potential could develop. About three hundred (300) feet south on the close edge of the draw, granitic fragments occur in the volcanic.
The Geological Report further states that there is the possibility of another new discovery at the two thousand and forty (2,040) foot elevation. There, a six (6) inch pyritic siliceous shear with minor quartz and galena concentrations occurs in aphanitic granite. Two sets of fracture joints at 020° dip 60°W and 060° dip 70° SE, cross the shear. The shear appears vertical, but the strike could not be properly determined, except probably northerly.
19
The Geological Report recommends further investigation and recommends that a program be carried out beginning with follow-up prospecting; then carrying on systematic mapping, and basic prospecting over the claim group. Geochemical and minor geophysical surveys would ensue over the same grid.
We plan to carry out exploration work on the Petch Claim Group by conducting an extensive prospecting and geochemistry program for the 2008 mining season. Sampling and mapping would begin with follow-up to the two discoveries and carry on over the rest of the claim group. Soil geochemistry on limited areas in the glaciated Stewart terrain has proven useful and the Geological Report suggests that such a survey be tried on the claims. The Geological Report further suggests rock geochemistry could be a useful exploratory tool providing element dispersion and halo effect mechanisms have been operative.
The exploration work would begin after the middle of July when the snow should be mostly gone from the upper reaches and immediate follow-up of any new discoveries could be carried out.
However, we cannot provide assurance to investors that our mineral claim contains a commercially viable mineral deposit until appropriate exploratory work is done and an evaluation based on that work concludes further work programs are justified. At this time, we definitely have no reserves on our mineral claims.
We may seek relationships with other mineral exploration companies that will allow us to exploit idle and/or undeveloped resources. Portions of the information in this section as well as other information contained in this Prospectus pertaining to our exploration project is summarized or extracted from the Geological Report.
We have limited finances and require additional funding in order to accomplish our exploration and acquisition objectives. There is no assurance that we will have revenues in the future or that we will be able to secure other funding necessary for our future growth and expansion. There is also no assurance that our mineral exploration activities will produce commercially viable reserves. Our efforts to extract minerals may be unprofitable.
At present, we do not hold any interest in any exploration reserve property that is in production. Our visibility and potential success is in our ability to successfully explore, exploit and eventually generate revenue from mineral reserves underground. There can be no assurance that such revenues will be obtained. The exploration of mineral reserves generally involves a high risk over a long period of time. Even with careful evaluation, experience and knowledge this long period may persist. It is almost impossible to ensure that exploration programs on the Petch Claim Group will be profitable or successful. Our inability to locate any mineral reserves on the Petch Claim Group could result in a total loss of our business.
The exploration of mineral reserves is subject to all of the usual hazards and risks associated with mineral exploration, which could result in damage to life or property, environmental damage, and possible legal liability for any or all damages. The exploration activities may be subject to prolonged disruptions due to the weather conditions surrounding the location of the Petch Claim Group. Difficulties, such as unusual or unexpected rock formations encountered by workers but not indicated on a map, or other conditions may be encountered in the gathering of samples and information, and could delay our exploration program. Even though we are at liberty to obtain insurance against certain risks in such amounts we deem adequate, the nature of those risks is such that liabilities could exceed policy limits or be excluded from coverage. We do not currently carry insurance to protect against these risks and there is no assura nce that we will obtain such insurance in the future. There are also risks against which we cannot or may not elect to insure. The costs, which could be associated with any liabilities, not covered by insurance or in excess of insurance coverage or compliance with applicable laws and regulations may cause substantial delays and require significant capital outlays, adversely affecting our final position, future earnings, and/or competitive positions.
20
The following discussion of mineral resources is based upon the required standards in Canada and does not meet the requirements of the SEC. The mineral resources reported below are not “proven reserves” nor are they “probable reserves” as those terms are defined by the SEC.
Cautionary Note to United States Investors concerning Disclosure of Mineral Resources
This Prospectus uses the terms “mineral resource” and “Inferred Resources.” U.S. investors are advised that while such terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize them. “Inferred Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or other economic studies. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of Inferred Resources will ever be converted into reserves. U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
Regulation and Environment Matters
Mineral resource exploration, production and related operations are subject to extensive rules and regulations of federal, provincial, state and local agencies. Failure to comply with these rules and regulations can result in substantial penalties. Our cost of doing business may be affected by the regulatory burden on the mineral industry. Although we intend to substantially comply with all applicable laws and regulations, when we begin our operations and exploration activities. Because these rules and regulations frequently are amended or interpreted, we cannot predict the future cost or impact of complying with these laws.
Environmental enforcement efforts with respect to mineral operations have increased over the years, and it is possible that regulations could expand and have a greater impact on future mineral exploration operations. Although our management intends to comply with all legislation and/or actions of local, provincial, state and federal governments, non-compliance with applicable regulatory requirements could subject us to penalties, fines and regulatory actions, the costs of which could harm our results of operations. We cannot be sure that our proposed business operations will not violate environmental laws in the future.
Our operations and properties are subject to extensive federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of materials into the environment, and relating to safety and health. These laws and regulations may do any of the following: (i) require the acquisition of a permit or other authorization before exploration commences, (ii) restrict the types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released in the environment in connection with exploration activities, (iii) limit or prohibit mineral exploration on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas, (iv) require remedial measures to mitigate pollution from former operations and (v) impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our proposed operations.
There are no costs to us at the present time in connection with compliance with environmental laws. However, since we do anticipate engaging in natural resource projects, these costs could occur. Costs could extend into the millions of dollars for which we could be liable. Any significant liability could wipe out our assets and resources.
Competition
The natural resource market is intensely competitive in all its phases, highly fragmented and subject to rapid change. We will encounter strong competition from many other natural resource companies, including many that possess substantial financial resources, in acquiring economically desirable producing
21
properties and exploratory drilling prospects, and in obtaining equipment and labor to operate and maintain the properties. We may be unable to compete successfully with our existing competitors or with any new competitors. We compete with many exploration companies which have significantly greater personnel, financial, managerial, and technical resources than we do. This competition from other companies with greater resources and reputations may result in our failure to maintain or expand our business.
Seasonality
As the property is located in Northern British Columbia, we are subject to the seasonality of the area and may not be able to gain access to the property during the winter months and we may have difficulty undertaking exploration activities during the spring months due to ground conditions. We will conduct our exploration programs, weather permitting when the ground is suitable for such activities.
Organizational Structure
We do not have any subsidiaries at this time. All operations are undertaken by us directly.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Presently we do not have any property, plant or equipment. All operations are undertaken from the office of our President, without charge to us.
OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS
Certain statements contained in this Prospectus, including statements regarding the anticipated development and expansion of our business, our intent, belief or current expectations, our directors or officers, primarily with respect to the future operating performance of Ore-More Resources and the products we expect to offer and other statements contained herein regarding matters that are not historical facts, are “forward-looking” statements. Future filings with the SEC, future press releases and future oral or written statements made by us or with our approval, which are not statements of historical fact, may contain forward-looking statements, because such statements include risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made.
Unless otherwise stated, all amounts shown in this “Operating and Financial Review” section of this Prospectus are in Canadian Dollars.
Overview
As a natural resource exploration company our focus is to locate prospective properties that may host mineral reserves that could eventually be put into mining production. With this in mind, we have to this date identified and secured a series of claims in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, identified as the Petch Claim Group. We do not intend to use any employees, with the exception of part-time clerical assistance on an as-needed basis. Outside advisors, attorneys or consultants will only be used if they can be obtained for a minimal cost or on a deferred payment basis. Management is confident that it will be able to operate in this matter and continue during the next twelve (12) months.
22
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Upon the completion of our financing, we intend to retain the required geological consultants to undertake a work program on our Petch Claim Group. We have budgeted a total of Eighty-Five Thousand ($85,000) dollars for exploration costs related to these claims. Until such time as we have retained the required consultants we cannot accurately predict what work program they will recommend or what the annual costs for the exploration will be. Our management believes that the Eighty Five Thousand ($85,000) dollars budgeted will be sufficient to carry out the first exploration program on the claims. Due to weather conditions we expect that this program will commence in the middle of July, 2008, or the early spring of 2009. This is dependent on our ability to raise the required funds under this Offering.
Results of Operations for Period Ended October 31, 2007 and July 31, 2007
We have only recently been incorporated and begun operations, there are no revenues to report and none are expected for the foreseeable future. From formation on June 20, 2007, we have concentrated on formative activities, the acquisition of our mineral claims, and preparation of this registration statement.
Net losses for the period ending July 31, 2007, were Ninety One Thousand Two Hundred and Forty Six ($91,246) dollars and One Hundred Six Thousand and Four Hundred ($106,400) dollars for the period from inception to October 31, 2007, and there are no comparative results as we were only recently formed.
We had total assets of Thirty Six Thousand Seven Hundred and Five ($36,705) dollars at July 31, 2007, and Thirty Six Thousand Seven Hundred and One ($36,701) dollars as at October 31, 2007, and there are no comparative results as we were only recently formed. These assets are comprised of cash and goods and services taxes receivable.
We had liabilities of One Hundred and Twenty Seven Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty One ($127,551) dollars at July 31, 2007, and One Hundred and Thirty Thousand Seven Hundred and One ($130,701) dollars as at October 31, 2007, and there are no comparative results as we were only recently formed. These liabilities represent accounts payable and a loan made by David Adelman, a stockholder of the Company, to us for operations including interest due and payable.
At July 31, 2007, we had Thirty Five Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty Seven ($35,627) dollars in working capital and as at October 31, 2007, we had Thirty Five Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty Three ($35,623) dollars and there are no comparative results as we were only recently formed. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future and there can be no assurance that we will achieve or maintain revenues or profitability, or establish or sustain future growth.

We did not earn any revenue during the period from June 20, 2007 (inception) to July 31, 2007. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production of our mineral properties. We can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such resources are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of our mineral properties.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were Eighty Nine Thousand Seven Hundred and Seventy Three ($89,773) dollars for the year ended July 31, 2007, and a total of One Hundred and One Thousand Seven Hundred and Seventy-Seven ($101,777) dollars from inception to October 31, 2007, and there are no comparative results as we were only recently formed. We expect such expenses to increase as our operations grow, of which there is no assurance.
23
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At July 31, 2007, our total assets of Thirty Six Thousand Seven Hundred and Five ($36,705) dollars exceeded our current liabilities of One Thousand and Seventy Eight ($1,078) dollars and as at October 31, 2007, our total assets of Thirty Six Thousand Seven Hundred and One ($36,701) dollars exceeded our current liabilities of One Thousand and Seventy Eight ($1,078) dollars. We sold 400,000 shares of Common Shares for $0.001 per share for an aggregate of Four Hundred (Cdn$400.00) dollars and we issued a total of 12,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to an affiliate in consideration of the Petch Group Claims. We expect to meet our cash requirements for the next twelve months from our current cash on hand, but if that is not sufficient, we may need to raise additional capital to continue operations. There can be no assurance that financing will be available to us in an amount and on terms acceptable to us, as and when requir ed, or at all.
Unless, we complete the Offering which would provide us with up to One Hundred and Fifty Thousand ($150,000) dollars, which we intend to use to fund our exploration program, we do not expect to expend more than Twenty Thousand ($20,000) dollars over the next twelve (12) months and we expect to keep costs at a minimum until such time as revenues are generated or funds are raised to cover any increased costs. We are aware that the regulatory review process takes time and is costly so we have structured our operations and cash requirements accordingly.
Our financial statements are reported in U.S. GAAP, however, despite the requirements, all of our business operations may be conducted in Canadian dollars and therefore our financial statements and the information in this Prospectus is presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. We provide the following summary regarding historical exchange rates between these currencies:
Since June 1, 1970, the government of Canada has permitted a floating exchange rate to determine the value of the Canadian dollar as compared to the United States dollar. The host country is the United States of America and therefore we provide disclosure of the exchange rate between our financial reporting currency which is in Canadian dollars and United States dollars ("US$") of the host country based upon the exchange rate in effect at the end of the month or of the calendar year to which the amount relates, or the exchange rate on the date specified. For such purposes, the exchange rate means the noon buying rate for United States dollars from the Bank of Canada (the "Noon Buying Rate"). These translations should not be construed as representations that the Canadian dollar amounts actually represent such U.S. dollar amounts or that Canadian dollars could be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate indica ted or at any other rate. As we were recently incorporated in the Province of Alberta on June 20, 2007, the following is a table of the Noon Buying Rates on the last day of each month for the last six months ended January 31, 2008:
August | September | October | November | December | January | |
At end of period | 0.9466 | 1.0037 | 1.0527 | 0.9992 | 1.0120 | 0.9978 |
Average for period | 0.9450 | 0.9753 | 1.0254 | 1.0340 | 0.9970 | 0.9890 |
High for period | 0.9525 | 1.0069 | 1.0527 | 1.0905 | 1.0220 | 1.0096 |
Low for period | 0.9298 | 0.9466 | 0.9996 | 0.9992 | 0.9788 | 0.9686 |
On February 6, 2008, the Noon Buying Rate in effect for Canadian dollars exchanged for United States dollars was Cdn$0.9974.
Research and Development, patents and licenses, etc.
We do not undertake any research and development activities.
Trend Information
We are an exploration stage company with an objective of acquiring, exploring, and if warranted and feasible in the future, developing natural resource properties. Our primary focus in the natural resource sector is gold.
24
To take a resource property that hosts a viable ore deposit into mining production, takes a considerable amount of time and money, and the subsequent return on investment for our stockholders would be very long term indeed. We therefore anticipate selling any ore bodies that we may discover to a major mining company. Most major mining companies obtain their ore reserves through the purchase of ore bodies found by junior exploration companies. Although these major mining companies do some exploration work themselves, many of them rely on the junior resource exploration companies to provide them with future deposits for them to mine. By selling a deposit found by us to these major mining companies, it would provide an immediate return to our stockholders without the long time frame and cost of putting a mine into operation ourselves, and would also provide future capital for us to continue operations.
The search for valuable natural resources as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that the claim we have acquired in British Columbia, Canada, contains commercially exploitable reserves. Exploration for natural reserves is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing commercially feasible reserves. 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 and any money spent on exploration would be lost.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements as of the date of this Prospectus.

THE OFFER AND LISTING
A.
Offer and Listing Details:
There is no established market for our Common Shares. The offering price for Common Shares sold pursuant to this Offering is set at $0.02 per common share. Of the shares of stock held by affiliates, officers and directors, 400,000 Common Shares were sold for total cash consideration of Four Hundred (400) dollars at $0.001 per share and we issued a total of 12,000,000 Common Shares at a deemed price of $0.001 per share for the Petch Claim Group. All of the shares of outstanding stock are restricted. The offering price was determined based on a determination by the Board of Directors of the price at which they felt they would be able to easily raise capital from investors. The offering price was not based on any valuation of us or our assets. The additional factors that were included in determining the sales price are the lack of liquidity since there is no present market for our stock and the high level of ris k considering our lack of profitable operating history.
31
We are offering a total of 7,500,000 Common Shares, no par value at $0.02 per share.
B.
Plan of Distribution
Upon effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this Prospectus is a part, we will conduct the sale of shares we are offering on a self-underwritten, best–efforts basis. There will be no underwriters used, no dealer's commissions, no finder's fees, and no passive market making. Our directors and officers will sell securities on our behalf in this Offering. Our officers and directors are not subject to a statutory disqualification as such term is defined in Section (a) (39) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. They will rely on Rule 3a4-1 to sell securities without registering as broker-dealers. They are serving as officers and directors and primarily perform substantial duties for or on our behalf otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities and will continue to do so at the end of the Offering, and have not been a broker or dealer, or an ass ociated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months, and have not nor will not participate in the sale of securities for any issuer more than once every twelve months. Our officers and directors will not receive commissions or other remuneration in connection with their participation in this offering based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities. Our officers and directors intend to personally contact their friends, family members and business acquaintances in attempting to sell the shares offered hereunder. We will not be conducting a mass-mailing in connection with this Offering, nor will we offer shares to potential customers. While we do not have any present plans to do so, we may also employ the services of an agent or intermediary to introduce us to prospective subscribers to the offering. In such event, we will be prepared to pay commissions or finder’s fees of up to 10% of the proceeds from the offering. In the event that w e do employ the services of an agent or intermediary, and such agent or intermediary is acting as an underwriter, we will file a post effective amendment to name such underwriter, disclose the material terms of the underwriting, disclose the material terms of such underwriting agreement and file such as an exhibit.
C.
Markets
Currently, there is no market for any of our classes of stock. There is no assurance that there will be liquidity in any of our stock. Upon the receipt of confirmation by the SEC that this registration statement has been declared effective and without further comment, we intend to apply to have our Common Shares traded on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board ( the “OTCBB”) maintained by NASDAQ.
D.
Selling Stockholders
Not Applicable.
E.
Dilution
“Net tangible book value” is the amount that results from subtracting the total liabilities and intangible assets from the total assets of an entity. Dilution occurs because we determined the offering price based on factors other than those used in computing book value of our stock. Dilution exists because the book value of shares held by existing stockholders is lower than the offering price offered to new investors.
We are offering Common Shares for $0.02 per share through this Offering. Our directors and officers purchased 400,000 shares of our Common Stock for $0.001 per share and we issued a total of 12,000,000 shares of our Common Stock to an affiliate in consideration of the Petch Group Claims.
As at October 31, 2007, our consolidated net tangible book value was negative Ninety Four Thousand ($94,000) dollars or negative ($0.008) per common share. If we are successful in selling all of the offered Common Shares at the public offering price, our pro forma net tangible book value would be Forty One Thousand ($41,000) Dollars (including the deduction of offering costs of approximately Fifteen Thousand
32
($15,000) dollars) or $0.002 per share, which would represent an immediate increase of$0.010 in net tangible book value per share and $0.18 or 90% per share dilution to new investors, assuming all the shares are sold at the Offering price of $0.02 per share.
F.
Expenses of the Issue
We estimate that the total cost of the Distribution which we intend to pay from existing working capital and not from the proceeds of the Offering will be approximately as follows:
ITEM | EXPENSE |
Legal Fees, costs of preparation of the Prospectus and expenses, including all registration fees | $10,000 |
Accounting Fees and Expenses | 5,000 |
Total | $ 15,000 |

Common Shares

The Preferred Shares may be issued in one or more series, each being comprised of the number of shares with the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to that series of Preferred Shares, including the rate or amount of dividends or the method of calculating dividends, the dates of payment of dividends, the redemption, purchase and/or conversion prices and terms and conditions of redemption, purchaseand/or conversion, and any sinking fund or other provisions, as our board of directors may fix from time to time.
34
(b)
The Preferred Shares of each series shall, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets or return of capital in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other return of capital or distribution of our assets among our stockholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, rank on a parity with the Preferred Shares of every other series and be entitled to preference over the Common Shares and over any other shares ranking junior to the Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shares of any series may also be given other preferences, not inconsistent with the Articles, over the Common Shares and any other shares of Ore-More Resources ranking junior to the Preferred Shares of a series as may be fixed by the Board of Directors.
(c)
If any cumulative dividends or amounts payable on the return of capital in respect of a series of Preferred Shares are not paid in full, all series of Preferred Shares shall participate rateably in respect of accumulated dividends and return of capital.
(d)
Unless the directors otherwise determine in the articles of amendment designating a series of Preferred Shares, the holder of each share of a series of Preferred Shares shall not, as such, be entitled to receive notice of or vote at any meeting of stockholders, except as otherwise specifically provided in the ABCA.
4.
Under the ABCA, any substantive change to our Articles (including, but not limited to, change of any maximum number of shares that we are authorized to issue, creation of new classes of shares, add, change or remove any rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions in respect of all or any of its shares, whether issued or unissued, change the shares of any class or series, whether issued or unissued, into a different number of shares of the same class or series or into the same or a different number of shares of other classes or series) or other fundamental changes to our capital structure, including a proposed amalgamation or continuance out of the jurisdiction, requires shareholder approval by not less than 2/3 of the votes cast by stockholders voting in person or by proxy at a stockholders’ meeting called for that purpose. In certain prescribed circumstances, holders of shares of a class or of a series ar e entitled to vote separately as a class or series on a proposal to amend the Articles whether or not shares of a class or series otherwise carry the right to vote. The holders of a series of shares of a class are entitled to vote separately as a series only if the series is affected by an amendment in a manner different from other shares of the same class.
5.
Our By-Laws provide that the Board of Directors shall call an annual meeting of stockholders to be held not later than eighteen months after the date of incorporation and subsequently, not later than fifteen months after holding the last preceding annual meeting. Our By-Laws provide that the Board of Directors, the managing director or the President may at any time call a special meeting of stockholders. Only the registered holders of shares are entitled to receive notice of and vote at annual and special meetings of stockholders, except to the extent that:
(a)
if a record date is fixed, the person transfers ownership of any of the person’s shares after the record date; or
(b)
if no record date is fixed, the person transfers ownership of any of the person’s shares after the date on which the list of stockholders is prepared; and
(c)
the transferee of those shares:
(i)
produces properly endorsed share certificates; or
(ii)
otherwise establishes ownership of the shares; and
35
(iii)
demands, not later than ten (10) days before the meeting, that the transferee’s name be included in the list before the meeting;
in which case the transferee is entitled to vote the shares.
The ABCA also permits the holders of not less than 5% of the issued voting shares to give notice to the directors requiring them to call and hold a meeting.
The only persons entitled to be present at a meeting of stockholders are:
(a)
stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting;
(b)
Directors;
(c)
the auditor of Ore-More Resources; and
(d)
any others who, although not entitled to vote, are entitled or required under any provision of the ABCA, any unanimous stockholder agreement, the Articles or the By-laws to be present at the meeting.
Any other person may be admitted only on the invitation of the Chairperson of the meeting or with the consent of the meeting.
6.
There are no restrictions in our Articles or By-Laws on the number of shares that may be held by non-residents other than restrictions set out in the Investment Canada Act (Canada).
7.
There are no specific provisions in our Articles or By-Laws that have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving us (or any of our subsidiaries). Notwithstanding this, the Board of Directors, under the general powers conferred to it under our By-Laws, has the authority to approve and invoke a stockholders rights plan that will protect stockholders from unfair, abusive or coercive take-over strategies, including the acquisition or control by a bidder in a transaction or series of transactions that does not treat all stockholders equally or fairly or that does not afford all stockholders an equal opportunity to share in any premium paid upon an acquisition of control. We have not adopted such a plan.
8.
There are no provisions in our By-Laws regarding public disclosure of individual shareholdings.
9.
We were incorporated as an Alberta corporation on June 20, 2007. With respect to items 2 through 8 above, the law applicable to us in the Province of Alberta in these areas is not significantly different from that in the United States.
10.
Not applicable.
Limitation of Liability of Directors and Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Alberta Corporate Law
Under the Alberta Business Corporations Act (the "ABCA"), we may indemnify any director, officer, employee, or corporate agent "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, except an action by or in the right of the corporation" due to his corporate role. The ABCA extends this protection "against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful."
36
Article 6 of our By-laws, as described above, provides for indemnification of its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Specifically, Section 6 of our By-laws provides for:
6.01 Conflict of Interest: A director or officer shall not be disqualified by his office, or be required to vacate his office, by reason only that he is a party to, or is a director or officer or has a material interest in any person who is a party to, a material contract or proposed material contract with the Corporation or subsidiary thereof. Such a director or officer shall, however, disclose the nature and extent of his interest in the contract at the time and in the manner provided by the ABCA. Any such contract or proposed contract shall be referred to the Board or stockholders for approval even if such contract is one that in the ordinary course of the Corporation's business would not require approval by the Board or stockholders. Subject to the provisions of the ABCA, a director shall not by reason only of his office be accountable to the Corporation or to its stockholders for any profit or gain realized from suc h a contract or transaction, and such contract or transaction shall not be void or voidable by reason only of the director's interest therein, provided that the required declaration and disclosure of interest is properly made, the contract or transaction is approved by the directors or stockholders, and it is fair and reasonable to the Corporation at the time it was approved and, if required by the ABCA, the director refrains from voting as a director on the contract or transaction and absents himself from the director's meeting at which the contract is authorized or approved by the directors, except attendance for the purpose of being counted in the quorum.
6.02 Limitation of Liability: Every director and officer of the Corporation in exercising his powers and discharging his duties shall act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interest of the Corporation and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonable and prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. Subject to the foregoing, no director or officer for the time being of the Corporation shall be liable for the acts, receipts, neglects or defaults of any other director or officer or employee or for joining in any receipt or act of conformity, or for any loss, damage, or expense happening to the Corporation through the insufficiency or deficiency of title to any property acquired by the Corporation or for or on behalf of the Corporation or the insufficiency or deficiency of any security in or upon which any of the monies of or belonging to the Corporation shall be placed out or invested or for any loss, conversion, misapplication or misappropriation of or any damage resulting from any dealings with any monies, securities or other assets belonging to the Corporation or for any other loss, damage or misfortune whatever which may happen in the execution of the duties of his respective office or trust in relation thereto; provided that nothing herein shall relieve any director or officer from the duty to act in accordance with the ABCA and the regulations thereunder or from liability for any breach thereof. The directors for the time being of the Corporation shall not be under any duty or responsibility in respect of any contract, act or transaction whether or not made, done or entered into the name or on behalf of the Corporation, except such as shall have been submitted to and authorized or approved by the Board.
6.03 Indemnity: Subject to the ABCA, the Corporation shall indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer, or a person who acts or acted at the Corporation's request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Corporation is or was a stockholder or creditor, and his heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives, from and against,
(a)
any liability and all costs, charges and expenses that he sustains or incurs in respect of any action, suit or proceeding that is proposed or commenced against him for or in respect of anything done or permitted by him in respect of the execution of the duties of his office; and
(b)
all other costs, charges and expenses that he sustains or incurs in respect of the affairs of the Corporation, except where such liability relates to his failure to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation.
37
The Corporation shall also indemnify such persons in such other circumstances as the ABCA permits or requires. Nothing in this Section shall limit the right of any person entitled to indemnity to claim indemnity apart from the provisions of this Section.
6.04 Insurance: Subject to the ABCA, the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person referred to in the preceding section against any liability incurred by him in his capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation or of any body corporate where he acts or acted in that capacity at the Corporation's request.
No indemnification agreements have been entered into with officers and directors of Ore-More Resources as of the date of this Prospectus.

Material Contracts
We are a party to a Loan Agreement dated June 20, 2007, between David Adelman, a stockholder of the Company, as Lender, and Ore-More Resources Inc., as Debtor, wherein the Lender provided us with One Hundred and Twenty Five Thousand ($125,000) dollars (the “Principal Sum”) on the terms and conditions that we repay the Principal Sum , together with interest thereon or on so much as from time to time remains unpaid, at the rate of Ten (10%) percent, per annum (the “Interest Rate”), calculated as well after as before maturity, default or judgment, until the principal sum and interest is paid. Interest at the Interest Rate on the amounts from time to time advanced, computed from the respective dates of such advances will become due and be paid on June 30, 2009.
As at the date of this filing, the principal amount of the Loan is One Hundred and Twenty Five Thousand ($125,000) dollars.
We are party to a Letter Agreement dated and made effective June 20, 2007, between David Adelman, as Vendor, and Ore-More Resources Inc., as Buyer, wherein we acquired Undersurface Rights by way of a Form C registered against Parcel Identifier Nos. 015-698-157, 015-698-173, 015-698-262, 015-698-441, 015-698-360, 015-698-564, 01-698-394, 009-168-672, as instrument number TD9112, known as the Petch Claim Group, consisting of eight (8) claims, in the Skeena Mining Division, British Columbia, Canada, for the purchase price of Twelve Thousand ($12,000) dollars payable through the issuance of 12,000,000 common shares of the Company, at the deemed price of $0.001 per common share. Copies of the land titles with respect to Parcel Identifier Nos. 015-698-157, 015-698-173, 015-698-262, 015-698-441, 015-698-360, 015-698-564, 01-698-394, 009-168-672 evidencing registration of the Form C transferring Undersurface Rights TD9112 to Ore-More Resources In c. and registered against the titles as instrument number BB297403 are attached to this Form F-1 Registration Statement as Exhibit 10.5.
D.
Exchange Controls
The taxation of any payment of dividends and other distributions from the Company to any non-resident stockholders is governed by tax treaties between Canada and nations of such stockholders. Such tax rates will depend on the various treaties.
There are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada relating to restrictions on the export or import of capital, or affecting the remittance of interest, dividends or other payments to non-residents. Dividends paid to U.S. residents, however, are subject to a 15% withholding tax or a 5% withholding tax for dividends if the stockholder is a corporation owning at least 10% of the outstanding voting shares of Ore-More Resources pursuant to Article X of the reciprocal tax treaty between Canada and the U.S.
Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act (the “ICA”), which has provisions that restrict the holding of voting shares by non-Canadians, there are no limitations specific to the rights of non-Canadians to hold or vote the Common Shares under the laws of Canada or the Province of Alberta, or in the charter documents of Ore-More Resources. Management of Ore-More Resources believes that the following
38
summary fairly describes those provisions of the ICA pertinent to an investment in Ore-More Resources by a person who is not a Canadian resident (a “non-Canadian”).
The ICA requires a non-Canadian making an investment which would result in the acquisition of control of a Canadian business (i.e. the gross value of the assets of which exceed a certain monetary threshold) to identify, notify, or file an application for review with the Investment Review Division of Industry Canada (“IRD”).
The notification procedure involves a brief statement of information about the investment on a prescribed form which is required to be filed with the IRD by the investor at any time up to 30 days following implementation of the investment. It is intended that investments requiring only notification will proceed without government intervention unless the investment is in a specific type of business activity related to Canada’s cultural heritage and national identity.
If an investment is reviewable under the ICA, an application for review in the form prescribed is normally required to be filed with the IRD prior to the investment taking place and the investment may not be implemented until the review has been completed and the Minister of Industry Canada (“Minister”) (the Minister responsible for Investment Canada) is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. The Minister has up to 75 days to make this determination. If the Minister is not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, the non-Canadian must not implement the investment or, if the investment has been implemented, may be required to divest himself of control of the business that is the subject of the investment.
The following investments by non-Canadians are subject to notification under the ICA:
1.
An investment to establish a new Canadian business; and
2.
An investment to acquire control of a Canadian business that is not reviewable pursuant to the Act.
The following investments by a non-Canadian are subject to review under the ICA:
1.
An investment is reviewable if there is an acquisition of a Canadian business and the asset value of the Canadian business being acquired equals or exceeds the following thresholds:
(a)
For non-World Trade Organization (“WTO”) investors, the threshold is $5 million for a direct acquisition and $50 million for an indirect acquisition; the $5 million threshold will apply however for an indirect acquisition if the asset value of the Canadian business being acquired exceeds 50% of the asset value of the global transaction;
(b)
Except as specified in paragraph (c) below, a threshold is calculated annually for reviewable direct acquisitions by or from WTO investors. The threshold for 2004 is $227 million. Pursuant to Canada’s international commitments, indirect acquisitions by or from WTO investors are not reviewable;
(c)
The limits set out in paragraph (a) apply to all investors for acquisitions of a Canadian business that:
(i)
engages in the production of uranium and owns an interest in a producing uranium property in Canada;
(ii)
provides any financial service;
(iii)
provides any transportation services; or
(iv)
is a cultural business.
2.
Notwithstanding the above, any investment which is usually only notifiable, including the establishment of a new Canadian business, and which falls within a specific business activity, including the publication and distribution of books, magazines, newspapers, film or video
39
recordings, audio or video music recordings, or music in print or machine-readable form may be reviewed if an Order-in-Council directing a review is made and a notice is sent to the Investor within 21 days following the receipt of a certified complete notification.
Generally speaking, an acquisition is direct if it involves the acquisition of control of the Canadian business or of its direct or indirect Canadian parent and an acquisition is indirect if it involves the acquisition of control of a non-Canadian direct or indirect parent of an entity carrying on the Canadian business. No change of voting control will be deemed to have occurred if less than one-third of the voting control of a Canadian corporation is acquired by an investor.
A WTO investor, as defined in the ICA, includes an individual who is a national of a member country of the WTO or who has the right of permanent residence in relation to that WTO member, a government or government agency of a WTO investor-controlled corporation, a limited partnership, trust or joint venture that is neither WTO-investor controlled or Canadian controlled of which two-thirds of its board of directors, general partners or trustees, as the case may be, are any combination of Canadians and WTO investors.
The ICA exempts certain transactions from the notification and review provisions of ICA, including, among others, (a) an acquisition of voting shares if the acquisition were made in the ordinary course of that persons’ business as a trader or dealer in securities; (b) an acquisition of control of the company in connection with the realization of a security interest granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for any purpose related to the provisions of the ICA; (c) the acquisition of voting interests by any person in the ordinary course of a business carried on by that person that consists of providing, in Canada, venture capital on terms and conditions not inconsistent with such terms and conditions as may be fixed by the Minister; and (d) acquisition of control of the company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization, following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of the company, through the ownership of voting interests, remains unchanged.

Taxation
Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a summary of the material Canadian federal income tax consequences generally applicable to U.S. holders arising from the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Common Shares. In this summary, a “U.S. holder” means a person, who at all relevant times, for the purposes of theCanada-United States Income Tax Convention, 1980, as amended, (the “Convention’) is a resident of the United States and who, for the purposes of theIncome Tax Act(Canada) (The “Canadian Tax Act”) (a) is not and never has been a resident of Canada, (b) holds the Common Shares as capital property and (c) does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the Common Shares in the course of carrying on a business in Canada. Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to a U.S. holder that is an insurer carrying on business in Canada and elsewhere. Common Shares will gene rally be capital property to a U.S. holder unless they are held in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities or have been acquired in a transaction or transactions considered to be an adventure in the nature of trade.
This summary is based on the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act and the regulations thereunder, all specific proposals to amend the Canada Tax Act and the regulations publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof, and counsel’s understanding of the current administrative practices of the Canada Revenue Agency.
This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canada federal income tax consequences and, except as mentioned above, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law, whether by legislative, administrative or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or consequences, which may differ significantly from the Canadian federal income tax consequences discussed herein. Prospective U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences of investing in Common Shares based on the U.S. holder’s particular circumstances.
40
For purposes of the Canadian Tax Act, all amounts relating to our securities must be expressed in Canadian dollars including proceeds of disposition and adjusted cost base. Amounts denominated in U.S. dollars generally must be converted into Canadian dollars based on the prevailing U.S. dollar exchange rate at the relevant time.
Disposition of Common Shares
A U.S. holder of our Common Shares which are not “Taxable Canadian property” (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act) will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act on the disposition of such shares. Generally, our Common Shares will not be taxable Canadian property to a U.S. holder at a particular time if:
(a)
the Common Shares are listed on a prescribed stock exchange at the relevant time, and
(b)
during the 60 month period immediately preceding the disposition of the Common Shares, the U.S. holder, persons with whom the U.S. holder did not deal at arm’s length, or the U.S. holder, together with such persons, did not own (i) 255 or more of the issued shares of any class or series of shares of our capital sock or (ii) options or warrants or other interests in or options in respect of 255 or more of the issued shares of any class or series of shares of our capital stock.
A capital gain realized on a disposition by a U.S. holder of a common share which is taxable Canadian property will be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act unless the capital gain is exempt from tax under the Canadian Tax Act pursuant to the provisions of the Convention. U.S. holders whose Common Shares are taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors.
Dividends on Common Shares
Dividends paid or credited or deemed under the Canadian Tax Act to be paid or credited to a U.S. holder on our Common Shares will generally be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of fifteen (15%) percent. This rate is reduced to five (5%) percent in the case of a U.S. holder that is a corporation that owns at least ten (10%) percent of our voting stock.
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a general discussion of certain possible U.S. federal income tax consequences, under current law, generally applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) of our Common Shares. This discussion is of a general nature only and does not take into account the particular facts and circumstances, with respect to U.S. federal income tax issues, of any particular U.S. Holder. In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences.
The following discussion is based upon the section of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), Treasury Regulations, published Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings, published administrative positions of the IRS and court decisions that are currently applicable, any or all of which could be materially and adversely changed, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time and which are subject to differing interpretations. This discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time.
THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE, NOR SHOULD IT BE CONSTRUED TO BE, LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE TO ANY U.S. HOLDER OR PROSPECTIVE U.S. HOLDER OF OUR COMMON SHARES, AND NO OPINION OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO ANY SUCH U.S. HOLDER OR PROSPECTIVE U.S. HOLDER IS MADE. ACCORDINGLY, U.S.
41
HOLDERS AND PROSPECTIVE U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON SHARES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN FINANCIAL ADVISOR, LEGAL COUNSEL OR ACCOUNTANT REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PURCHASING, OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR COMMON SHARES.
As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” means a holder of our Common Shares who is (i) a citizen or individual resident of the U.S., (ii) a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S., or of any political subdivision thereof, (iii) an estate whose income is taxable in the U.S. irrespective of source or (iv) a trust subject to the primary supervision of a court within the U.S. and control of a U.S. fiduciary as described in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. If a partnership or other “pass-through” entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our Common Shares, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the partners or owners of such partnership or other pass-through entity generally will depend on the status of such partners or owners and the activities of such partnership or pass-through entity.
This summary does not address the federal income tax consequences to persons (including persons who are U.S. Holders) subject to special provisions of U.S. federal income tax law, including (i) persons who are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts and other tax-deferred accounts, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, or brokers, dealers or traders to securities, (ii) persons who have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, (iii) persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, (iv) persons who own our Common Shares as part of a straddle, hedging, conversion transaction, constructive sale or other arrangement involving more than one (1) position, (v) persons who acquired our Common Shares through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services, (vi) persons that own an interest in an entity that owns our Common Shares, (vii) persons who own, exercise or dispose of any options, warrants or other rights to acquire our Common Shares, (viii) persons who are partners or owners of partnerships or other pass-through entities such as corporations subject to Subchapter S of the Code or (ix) persons who own our Common Shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code.
Distributions to U.S. Holders
General Rules
U.S. Holders receiving distributions (including constructive distributions) with respect to our Common Shares are required to include in gross income as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes the gross amount of such distributions (without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distributions), equal to the U.S. dollar value of such distributions on the date of receipt (based on the exchange rate on such date), to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. To the extent that distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions will be treated first as a return of capital, to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in our Common Shares, and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of our Common Shares. (See more detailed discussion at “Disposition of Shares” below). Any Canadian tax withheld from distribution may be credited, subject to certain limitations, against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability or, alternatively, may be deducted in computing the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal taxable income by those who itemize deductions. (See more detailed discussion at “Foreign Tax Credit” below).
Currency Gain or Loss
In general, in the case of foreign currency received as a distribution that is not converted by the recipient into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Generally a gain or loss recognized upon a subsequent sale or other disposition of the foreign currency, including the exchange for the U.S. dollars, will be ordinary income or loss.
42
Dividend may be Eligible for Reduced Tax Rate
For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2002 and before January 1, 2009, dividends received by U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts from a “qualified foreign corporation” as defined in Section 1(h)(11) of the Code, generally are taxed at the same preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains. Although not free from doubt, it appears we would likely be a “qualified foreign corporation,” as defined in Section 1(h)(11) of the Code as a result of the U.S.–Canada income tax treaty if, however, we are not a Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”). We have not determined whether we meet the definition of a PFIC. (See more detailed discussion at “We may be a Passive Foreign Investment Company” below). A corporation that is properly described as a PFIC, along with other foreign corporations given special status under the Code, for its ta xable year during which it pays a dividend, or for its immediately preceding taxable year, will not be treated as a “qualifying foreign corporation” and dividends received by U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at ordinary income tax rates (and not at the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains).
Dividends not Eligible for Dividends Received Deduction
Dividends paid generally will not be eligible for the “dividends received deduction” allowed to corporate stockholders receiving dividends from certain U.S. corporations. Under certain circumstances, a U.S. Holder that is a corporation and that owns shares representing at least 10% of the total voting power and the total value of shares issued by the Corporation may be entitled to a 70% deduction of the “U.S. source” portion of dividends received from the Corporation (unless the Corporation qualifies as a PFIC). The availability of the dividends received deduction is subject to several complex limitations that are beyond the scope of this discussion, and U.S. Holders of our Common Shares should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the dividends received deduction.
Dividends Paid to Stockholders who Made QEF Election may be Exempt from Tax
Generally, stockholders are not subject to additional income taxation on distributions made by a PFIC to the extent of the stockholder’s basis in the corporation’s shares if a Qualified Electing Fund (“QEF”) election is in effect. (Please see the “QEF Election” discussion below). A stockholder’s basis in this situation is usually equal to the cost of purchasing the shares plus the amount of the corporation’s income that was reported on the stockholder’s return pursuant to the QEF election less any prior distributions made by the corporation to the stockholder. Again, these rules are subject to several exceptions that are beyond the scope of this discussion. U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON SHARES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN FINANCIAL ADVISOR, LEGAL COUNSEL OR ACCOUNTANT REGARDING WHETHER DIVIDENDS PAID TO THEM WILL BE EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX IF A QEF ELECTION IS MAD E.
Disposition of Shares
General Rule
A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our Common Shares equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received, and (ii) the shareholder’s tax basis in the shares. This gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if our Common Shares are held for more than one year.
Reduced Tax Rate
Preferential tax rates apply to Long-term capital gains of U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts. There are currently no preferential tax rates for Long-term capital gains for a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for net capital losses are subject to significant limitations. For U.S. Holders that are not a corporation, any unused portion of such net capital loss may be carried over to be used in later
43
tax years until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted. For U.S. Holders that are corporations, an unused net capital loss may be carried back three years and carried forward five years from the loss year to be offset against capital gains until such net capital loss is thereby exhausted. Sales of PFIC stock are not eligible for the reduced long-term capital gains rates that are usually applicable to sales of stock unless the shareholder made a QEF election regarding such shares.
We may be a Passive Foreign Investment Company
General Discussion
We have not determined whether we meet the definition of a PFIC, within the meaning of Sections 1291 through 1928 of the Code for the current tax year and any prior tax years. We may or may not qualify as a PFIC in subsequent years due to changes in our assets and business operations. In general, a U.S. Holder who holds stock in a foreign corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a PFIC is subject to numerous special U.S. federal income taxation rules and may elect to be taxed under two alternative tax regimes. The following is a discussion of these three sets of special rules applied to U.S. Holders of our Common Shares. In addition, special rules apply if a foreign corporation qualifies as both a PFIC and a “controlled foreign corporation” (as defined below) and a U.S. Holder owns, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entit led to vote of such foreign corporation. (See more detailed discussion at “Controlled Foreign Corporation” below).
Definition of PFIC
Section 1297 of the Code generally defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the U.S. and, for any taxable year, either (a) 75% or more of its gross income is “passive income” or (b) the average percentage, by fair market value of its assets that produce or are held for the production of “passive income” is 50% or more. “Passive income” includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities and certain gains from commodities transactions. For purposes of the PFIC income test and the assets test, if a foreign corporation owns (directly or indirectly) at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation, such foreign corporation shall be treated as if it (a) held a proportionate share of the assets of such other corporation and (b) received directly its proportionate share of the income of such other corporation. Also, for the purposes of such PFIC tests, passive income does not include any interest, dividends, rents or royalties that are received or accrued from a “related” person to the extent such amount is properly allocable to the income of such related person which is not passive income. For these purposes, a person is related with respect to a foreign corporation if such person “controls” the foreign corporation or is controlled by the foreign corporation or by the same persons that controls the foreign corporation. For these purposes, “control” means ownership, directly or indirectly, of stock possessing more than 50% of the total voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote or of the total value of stock of a corporation.
Generally Applicable PFIC Rules
If a U.S. Holder does not make a timely election to be taxed in conformity with the Mark-to-Market rules (as described below) or the QEF rules (as described below) during a year in which it holds (or is deemed to have held) our Common Shares while we are a PFIC (A “Non-electing U.S. Holder”), then special taxation rules under Section 1291 of the Code will apply to (i) gains realized on the disposition (or deemed to be realized by reasons of a pledge) of our Common Shares and (ii) certain “excess distributions” (generally, distributions received in the current taxable year that are in excess of 125% of the average distributions received during the three preceding years or, if shorter, the U.S. Holder’s holding period) by us.
A Non-Electing U.S. Holder generally would be required to pro rate all gains realized on the disposition of our Common Shares and all excess distributions on our Common Shares over their entire holding period for our Common Shares. All gains or excess distributions allocated to prior years of the U.S. Holder (other than years prior to our first taxable year during such U.S. Holder’s holding period and beginning after January 1, 1987, for which we were a PFIC) would generally be taxed at the highest tax rate for each such
44
prior year applicable to ordinary income, and such Non-Electing U.S. Holder also would be liable for interest on the foregoing tax liability for each such prior year calculated as if such liability had been due with respect to each such prior year. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder that is not a corporation must treat this interest charge as “personal interest” which, as discussed above, is wholly non-deductible. The balance of the gain or the excess distribution will be treated as ordinary income in the year of the disposition or distribution, and no interest charge will be incurred with respect to such balance.
If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a Non-Electing U.S. Holder holds our Common Shares, then we will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such Common Shares, even if we cease meeting the definition of a PFIC. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder may terminate this deemed PFIC status by electing to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules discussed above for the Non-Electing U.S. Holders) as if our Common Shares had been sold on the last day of the last taxable year for which we were a PFIC.
Mark-to-Market Election
Effective for tax years of the U.S. Holders beginning after December 31, 1997, U.S. Holders who hold, actually or constructively, marketable stock (as specifically defined in the Treasury Regulations) of a foreign corporation that qualifies as a PFIC may annually elect to mark such stock to the market (a “mark-to-market election”). If such an election is made, such U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to the special taxation rules of Section 1291 discussed above. However, if the mark-to-market election is made by a Non-Electing U.S. Holder after the beginning of the holding period for the PFIC stock, then the Section 1291 rules will apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to our Common Shares. A U.S. Holder who makes the mark-to-market election will include in income for the taxable year for which the election was made an amount equal to the excess, if any, of th e fair market value of our Common Shares as of the close of such tax year over such U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in such Common Shares. In addition, the U.S. Holder is allowed a deduction for the lesser of (i) the excess, if any, of such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Common Shares over the fair market value of such shares as of the close of the tax year, or (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the mark-to-market gains for our Common Shares included by such U.S. Holder for prior tax years, including any amount which would have been included for any prior tax year but for the Section 1291 interest on tax deferral rules discussed above with respect to Non-Electing U.S. Holder’s, over (B) the mark-to-market losses for our Common Shares that were allowed as deductions for prior tax years. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Common Shares will be adjusted to reflect the amount included in or deducted from income as a result of a mark-to-market election. A mark-to-ma rket election applies to the taxable year in which the election is made and to each subsequent taxable year, unless our Common Shares cease to be marketable, as specifically defined, or the IRS consents to revocation of the election.
QEF Election
In general, a U.S. Holder who makes a timely QEF election (an “Electing U.S. Holder’) regarding our Common Shares will be subject, under Section 1293 of the Code, to current U.S. federal income tax for any taxable year in which we qualify as a PFIC on his pro rata share of (i) “net capital gain” (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), which will be taxed as long-term capital gain to the Electing U.S. Holder and (ii) “ordinary earning” (the excess of earnings and profits over net capital gain), which will be taxed as ordinary income to the Electing U.S. Holder, in each case, for the shareholder’s taxable year in which (or with which) our taxable year ends, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed.
The effective QEF election also allows the Electing U.S. Holder to (i) generally treat any gain realized on the disposition of our Common Shares (or deemed to be realized on the pledge of our Common Shares) as capital gain; (ii) treat his share of our net capital gain, if any, as long-term capital gain instead of ordinary income; and (iii) either avoid interest charges resulting from PFIC status altogether, or make an annual election, subject to certain limitations, to defer payment of current taxes on his share of our annual realized net capital gain and ordinary earnings subject, however, to an interest charge. If the Electing U.S. Holder is not a corporation, such an interest charge would be treated as “personal interest” that is not deductible.
45
The procedure a U.S. Holder must comply with in making an effective QEF election, and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the QEF election, will depend on whether the year of the election is the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period in which we are a PFIC. If the U.S. Holder makes a QEF election in such first year,i.e.,a timely QEF election, then the U.S. Holder may make the QEF election by simply filing the appropriate QEF election documents at the time the U.S. Holder files his tax return for such first year. However, if we qualified as a PFIC in a prior year, then in addition to filing the QEF election documents, the U.S. Holder must elect to recognize (i) under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code (discussed herein), any gain that he would otherwise recognize if the U.S. Holder sold his stock on the qualification date or (ii) if we are a controlled foreign corporation, the U.S. Holder’s pro r ata share of our post-1986 earnings and profits as of the qualification date. The qualification date is the first day of our first tax year in which we qualified as a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder. The elections to recognize such gain or earnings and profits can only be made if such U.S. Holder’s holding period for our Common Shares includes the qualification date. By electing to recognize such gain or earnings and profits, the U.S. Holder will be deemed to have made a timely QEF election. A U.S. Holder who made elections to recognize gain or earnings and profits after May 1, 1992 and before January 27, 1997 may, under certain circumstances, elect to change such U.S. Holder’s qualification date to the first day of the first QEF year. U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF AND PROCEDURE FOR ELECTING TO RECOGNIZE GAIN OR EARNINGS AND PROFITS UNDER THE FOREGOING RULES. In addition to the above rules, under very limited c ircumstances, a U.S. Holder may make a retroactive QEF election if such U.S. Holder failed to file the QEF election documents in a timely manner.
A QEF election, once made with respect to our Common Shares, applies to the tax year for which it was made and to all subsequent tax years, unless the election is invalidated or terminated, or the IRS consents to revocation of the election. If a QEF election is made by a U.S. Holder and we cease to qualify as a PFIC in a subsequent tax year, the QEF election will remain in effect, although not applicable, during those tax years in which we do not qualify as a PFIC. Therefore, if we again qualify as a PFIC in a subsequent tax year, the QEF election will be effective and the U.S. Holder will be subject to the rules described above for Electing U.S. Holders in such tax year and any subsequent tax years in which we qualify as a PFIC. In addition, the QEF election remains in effect, although not applicable, with respect to an Electing U.S. Holder even after such U.S. Holder disposes of all of his or its direct and indirect interest in our Common Shares. Therefore, if such U.S. Holder reacquires our Common Shares, that U.S. Holder will be subject to the rules described above for Electing U.S. Holders for each tax year in which we qualify as a PFIC.
Generally, stockholders do not make a QEF election unless they have sufficient information to determine their proportionate shares of a corporation’s net capital gain and ordinary earnings. We have not calculated these amounts for any stockholder, and do not anticipate making these calculations in the foreseeable future. THEREFORE, U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON SHARES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN FINANCIAL ADVISOR, LEGAL COUNSEL OR ACCOUNTANT REGARDING THE QEF ELECTION BEFORE MAKING THIS ELECTION.
Other PFIC Rules
Under Section 1291(f) of the Code, the IRS has issued proposed Treasury Regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would treat as taxable certain transfers of PFIC stock by Non-Electing U.S. Holders that are generally not otherwise taxed, such as gifts, exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations and transfers at death. Generally, in such cases the basis of shares in the hands of the transferee and the basis of any property received in the exchange for those shares would be increased by the amount of gain recognized. However, the specific U.S. federal income tax consequences to the U.S. Holder and the transferee may vary based on the manner in which the Common Shares are transferred.
Certain special, generally adverse, rules will apply with respect to our Common Shares while it is a PFIC whether or not it is treated as a QEF. For example under Section 1298(b)(6) of the code, a U.S. Holder who uses PFIC stock as security for a loan (including a margin loan) will, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, be treated as having made a taxable disposition of such Common Shares.
46
The PFIC rules are very complicated, and U.S. Holders should consult their own financial advisor, legal counsel or accountant regarding the PFIC rules, including the advisability of and procedure for making a QEF election or mark-to-market election, and how these rules may impact their U.S. federal income tax situation.
Foreign Tax Credit
A U.S. Holder who pays (or has withheld from distributions) Canadian or other foreign income tax with respect to the ownership of our Common Shares may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either receive a deduction or a tax credit for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to such foreign tax paid or withheld. There are significant and complex limitations that apply to the foreign tax credit, among which is the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder’s U.S. income tax liability that the U.S. Holder’s “foreign source” income bears to his, her or its worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified as either “foreign source” or “U.S. source”. Complex rules govern this classification process.
In addition, U.S. Holders that are corporations and that own 10% or more of our voting stock may be entitled to an “indirect” foreign tax credit under Section 902 of the Code with respect to the payment of dividends under certain circumstances and subject to complex rules and limitations. THE AVAILABILITY OF THE FOREIGN TAX CREDIT AND THE APPLICATION OF THE LIMITATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE FOREIGN TAX CREDIT ARE FACT SPECIFIC, AND EASH U.S. HOLDER OF OUR COMMON SHARES SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN FINANCIAL ADVISOR, LEGAL COUNSEL OR ACCOUNTANT REGARDING THE FOREIGN TAX CREDIT RULES.
Information Reporting; Backup Withholding
Certain information reporting and backup withholding rules may apply with respect to certain payments related to our Common Shares. In particular, a payor or middleman within the U.S., or in certain cases outside the U.S., will be required to withhold at a current rate of 28% (which rate is scheduled for periodic adjustment) of any payments to a U.S. Holder regarding dividends paid or proceeds from the sale of such Common Shares within the U.S. if a U.S. Holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number (generally on form W-9) or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, the backup withholding tax requirements. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS. U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN FINANCIAL ADVI SOR, LEGAL COUNSEL OR ACCOUNTANT REGARDING THE INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING RULES APPLICABLE TO OUR COMMON SHARES.
Other Considerations for U.S. Holders
In the following circumstances, the above sections of this discussion may not describe the U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. holders resulting from the ownership and disposition of shares issued by a foreign corporation.
Controlled Foreign Corporation
If more than 50% of the total voting power or the total value of our outstanding shares are owned, directly or indirectly, by citizens or residents of the U.S., U.S. partnerships or corporations, or U.S. estates or trusts (as defined by the Code Section 7701(a)(3)), each of which own, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the total voting power of our outstanding shares (each a “10% Stockholder”), we could be treated as a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) under Section 957 of the Code.
47
Our classification as a CFC would effect many complex results, including that 10% Stockholders would generally (i) be treated as having received a current distribution of our “Subpart F income” and (ii) would also be subject to current U.S. federal income tax on their pro rata share of our earnings invested in “U.S. property”. The foreign tax credit may reduce the U.S. federal income tax on these amounts for such 10% Stockholder (see more detailed discussion at “Foreign Tax Credit” above). In addition, under Section 1248 of the Code, gain from the sale or other taxable disposition of our Common Shares by a U.S. Holder that is or was a 10% Stockholder at any time during the five-year period ending with the sale is treated as a dividend to the extent of our earnings and profits attributable to our Common Shares sold or exchanged.
If we are classified as both a PFIC and a CFC, we generally will not be treated as a PFIC with respect to 10% Stockholders. This rule generally will be effective for taxable years of 10% Stockholders beginning after 1997 and for its taxable years ending with or within such taxable years of 10% stockholders. We have not determined whether we meet the definition of a CFC, and there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a CFC for the current or any future taxable year.
THE CFC RULES ARE VERY COMPLICATED, AND U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN FINANCIAL ADVISOR, LEGAL COUNSEL OR ACCOUNTANT REGARDING THE CFC RULES AND HOW THESE RULES MAY IMPACT THEIR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX SITUATION.
A.
Dividends and Paying Agents
All holders of Common Shares are entitled to participate proportionally in dividends if our Board of Directors declares them out of the funds legally available and subordinate to the rights of the holders of loan or other financing documents. These dividends may be paid in cash, property or additional Common Shares. We have not paid any dividends since our inception and presently anticipate that all earnings will be retained for development of our business. Any future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends on the Common Shares will be paid in the future.
B.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Our debt instrument carries a fixed interest rate, therefore we are not sensitive to any fluctuation in the interest rates.
Exchange Rate Sensitivity.
The Company does not expect to be affected much by exchange rate sensitivity since our operations are primarily in Canada and therefore the majority of our transactions will be conducted in Canadian currency, with very little activity with other currencies.
Commodity Price Sensitivity
At this time we do not produce any minerals or commodities, therefore we are not sensitive to any fluctuation in pricing.
However, we may find it more difficult to raise further exploration funds.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
MATERIAL CHANGES
Not Applicable.
INCORPORATION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION BY REFERENCE
Not Applicable.
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON
INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our By-laws provide to the fullest extent permitted by the Business Corporations Act (Alberta), our directors or officers, former directors and officers, and persons who act at our request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which we are a stockholder or creditor shall be indemnified by us. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our By-laws are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the forgoing provisions 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 that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Officers and Directors
Ore-More Resources Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Ore-More Resources Inc. as of July 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the period from inception (June 20, 2007) to July 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the acc ounting principles used and significant estimates made 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 Ore-More Resources Inc. as of July 31, 2007, and the results of its operations, stockholders’ deficit and its cash flows for the period from inception (June 20, 2007) to July 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements referred to above 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 incurred losses from operations, has a liquidity problem, and requires funds for its operational activities. These factors raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.
Nature and Continuance of Operations
The Company was incorporated in the Province of Alberta, Canada on June 20, 2007. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $91,246 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 intends to address the going concern issue by funding future operations through the sale of equity capital and by director loans, if needed.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a)
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in Canadian Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. The Company’s fiscal year-end is July 31.
b)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
c)
Mineral Property Costs
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on June 20, 2007 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral 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 proven and probable reserves.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
d)
Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and prepaid expenses approximate their fair value because of the short- term maturity of these instruments. The Company’s operations are in Canada and its primary operations are carried out in the functional currency of Canada.
e)
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the Canadian dollar. Occasional transactions may occur in United States dollars and management has adopted SFAS No. 52 “Foreign Currency Translation”. Monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. The Company has not, to the date of these financial statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
f)
Income Taxes
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 as of its inception. 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 the 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.
g)
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 “Earnings per Share”. SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential Common Shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 155,Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments. SFAS No. 155 eliminates the temporary exemption of bifurcation requirements to securitized financial assets, contained in SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. As a result, similar financial instruments are accounted for similarly regardless of the form of the instruments. In addition, in instances where a derivative would otherwise have to be bifurcated, SFAS No. 155 allows a preparer on an instrument-by-instrument basis to elect fair value measurement at acquisition, at issuance, or when a previously recognized financial instrument is subject to remeasurement. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 has not materially affected the Company’s reported loss, financial condition or cash flo ws.
In March, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. The pronouncement establishes standards whereby servicing assets and servicing liabilities are initially measured at fair value, where applicable. In addition, SFAS No. 156 allows subsequent measurement of servicing assets and liabilities at fair value, and where applicable, derivative instruments used to mitigate risks inherent with servicing assets and liabilities are likewise measured at fair value. The adoption of SFAS No. 156 has not materially affected the Company’s reported loss, financial condition, or cash flows.
In March, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, (“FIN 48”)Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes criteria for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Accordingly, tax positions are analyzed to determine whether it is more likely than not they will be sustained when examined by the appropriate tax authority. Positions that meet the more-likely-than-not criteria are measured to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized, whereas those positions that do not meet the more-likely-than-not criteria are derecognized in the financial statements. The adoption of FIN 48 has not materially affected the Company’s reported loss, financial condition, or cash flows.
In September, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. The statement defines fair value, determines appropriate measurement methods, and expands disclosure requirements about those measurements. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 has not materially affected the Company’s reported loss, financial condition, or cash flows.
In September, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158,Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. This statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that underfunded status in the year of change through comprehensive income. In addition, SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position. The adoption of SFAS No. 158 has not materially affected the Company’s reported loss, financial condition, or cash flows.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements (cont’d)
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment, which amends SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This Statement, as revised, requires public entities to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The effective date for the Company is the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 123R has not materially affected the Company’s reported loss, financial condition, or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This pronouncement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 159 has not materially affected the Company’s reported loss, financial condition, or cash flows

1.
Basis of presentation and Continuance of Operations
The Company was incorporated in the Province of Alberta, Canada on June 20, 2007. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission requirements for interim financial statements. Therefore, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Ore-More Resources Inc. audited financial statements for the year ended July 31, 2007.
The interim financial statements present the balance sheet, statements of operations and cash flows of Ore-More Resources Inc. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The interim financial information is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of October 31, 2007, and the results of operations, and cash flows presented herein have been included in the financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit of $106,400 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 intends to address the going concern issue by funding future operations through the sale of equity capital and by director loans, if needed.
