GLOSSARY
Following is a glossary of terms used throughout this Annual Report.
Assay | a precise and accurate analysis of the metal contents in an ore or rock sample |
development stage | includes all companies engaged in the preparation of an established commercially mineable deposit (reserves) for its extraction which are not in the production stage. |
exploration stage | All companies engaged in the search for mineral deposits (reserves) which are not in either the development or production stage. |
feasibility study | a detailed report assessing the feasibility, economics and engineering of placing a mineral deposit into commercial production. |
gold deposit | means a mineral deposit mineralized with gold. |
Inferred mineral resource | that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality can be estimated on the basis of geological evidence and reasonably assumed, but not verified, geological and grade continuity. The estimate is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings, and drill holes. |
mineral resource | a concentration or occurrence of natural, solid, inorganic or fossilized organic material in or on the Earth’s crust in such form and quantity and of such grade or quality that it has reasonable prospects of economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade, geological characteristics and continuity of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge. |
ore | a naturally occurring rock or material from which minerals, such as gold, can be extracted at a profit; a determination of whether a mineral deposit contains ore is often made by a feasibility study. |
ounce or oz. | a troy ounce or 20 pennyweights or 480 grains or 31.103 grams |
| an area prospective for economic minerals based on geological, geophysical, geochemical and other criteria |
Probable (indicated) reserves | Reserves for which quantity and grade and/or quality are computed from information similar to that used for proven (measured) reserves, but the sites for inspection, sampling, and measurement are farther apart or are otherwise less adequately spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for proven (measured) reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation. |
proven (measured) reserves | Reserves for which (a) quantity is computed from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; grade and/or quality are computed from the results of detailed sampling and (b) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurement are spaced so closely and the geologic character is so well defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well-established. |
reserve | that part of a mineral deposit, which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. Reserves are customarily stated in terms of "ore" when dealing with metalliferous minerals such as gold or silver |
Ton | short ton (2,000 pounds). |
tonne | metric tonne (2,204.6 pounds). |
trenching | The surface excavation of a linear trench to expose mineralization for sampling |
For ease of reference, the following conversion factors are provided:
1 mile (mi) | = 1.609 kilometres |
1 yard (yd) | = 0.9144 meter (m) |
1 acre | = 0.405 hectare (ha) |

Exchange Rates
All of the transactions undertaken by the Company are reported in Canadian Dollars. Therefore, this annual report may contain conversions of certain amounts in Canadian dollars into United States dollars based upon the exchange rate in effect at the end of the month or of the fiscal 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. These translations should not be construed as representations that the Canadian dollar amounts actually represent such United States dollar amounts or that Canadian dollars could be converted into United States dollars at the rate indicated or at any other rate. The Company was incorporated in 2007.
The exchange rate (represented as the amount US$ that CAD$1.00 would be converted to) as of January 05, 2010, the latest practicable date, was: $.9677.

D. Risk Factors
Our business entails a significant degree of risk, and an investment in our securities should be considered highly speculative. An investment in our securities should only be undertaken by persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. The following is a general description of material risks, which may adversely affect our business, our financial condition, including liquidity and profitability, and our results of operations, ultimately affecting the value of an investment in shares of our common stock.
RISKS RELATING TO OUR BUSINESS
1. We have little operating history and have earned no revenues to date.
We have little operating history and no 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 may 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.
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 little 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 material 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, results 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.
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, 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 are 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. 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 assurance 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. 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 prices may force us to curtail or cease our business operations.
9. Our directors and officers are not qualified technical mining persons, if we cannot identify and retain qualified technical mining expertise when we commence exploration activities, we may not be able to continue to operate our business and may be required to cease operations.
Neither our President and Director, Mr. Lischka nor Mr. Dowell, have any prior experience in the mining industry. 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. If we cannot locate qualified technical mining persons to retain for our exploration programs we may not be able to operate or complete our business plan.
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.
As of January 6, 2010, our principal stockholders beneficially own approximately or have the right to vote 79.25% of our outstanding Common Shares. Our Directors and Officers do not currently own stock. As a result, these stockholders 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 major stockholders acting in concert with 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 major stockholders, 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.
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 prior to undertaking exploration programs. 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 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 to 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 on our Petch Claim. 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, 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.
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.
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.
Our Common Shares are currently 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 a limited trading market for our securities and if a trading market does not develop, purchasers of our securities may have difficulty selling their shares.
We currently are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, however we have limited trading history. If for any reason a public trading market does not develop, purchasers of the Common Shares may have difficulty selling their shares should they desire to do so.
4. 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 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.
5 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.
6. 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. At the present time, there are 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 the Company.
7. We may be deemed to be a Passive Foreign Investment Company and, as a result, United States investors in the Company 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.
ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON OUR COMPANY
History and Development of the Company
We are an exploration stage company incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of Alberta, Canada, on June 20, 2007, under the name Ore-More Resources Inc. Our registered office and principal place of business, is located at 1530 - 9th Ave SE, Calgary, Alberta, T2G 0T7, Canada. Our telephone number is (403) 693-8000.
On August 13, 2009, the Company received notification of the transfer of a total of 12,200,000 shares of the Company to New Castle Assets S.A., thus effecting a change of control of the Company.
On August 25, 2009, the then current Board of Directors resigned and two new directors were appointed.
We were originally attempting to become a company solely engaged in the exploration of mineral properties, however subsequent to the fiscal year end covered by this annual report on August 25, 2009 we appointed new directors to the Board of the Company. These directors have experience in the oil and gas sector and therefore management has determined not only to pursue its existing mineral acquisitions but to broaden its scope of business to include the natural resource sector, being minerals and oil and gas. To that end, current management is reviewing potential revenue producing oil and gas acquisitions in an effort to more quickly bring the company revenues and build shareholder value.
At the time of filing of this report, the Company has not concluded any oil and gas acquisitions and therefore the information included in this annual report relates solely to our mineral properties.
We currently hold 100% interest in Undersurface Rights No. TD9112, registered against titles with the Land Title and Survey Authority of British Columbia, known as the Petch Claim Group, consisting of (8) claims, lands legally described as follows:
Parcel Identifier No. Legal Description
015-698-157 | The Surface of District Lot 4507 Cassiar District Surveyed as “Renown” Mineral Claim |
015-698-173 | The Surface of District Lot 4509 Cassiar District Surveyed as “Climax” Mineral Claim |
015-698-262 | The Surface of District Lot 4513 Cassiar District Surveyed as “Ariel” Mineral Claim |
015-698-441 | The Surface of District Lot 4519 Cassiar District Surveyed as “Tram Fraction” Mineral Claim |
015-698-360 | The Surface of District Lot 4516 Cassiar District Surveyed as “Silver Bow No. 3” Mineral Claim |
015-698-564 | The Surface of District Lot 4522 Cassiar District Surveyed as “Silverado Fraction” Mineral Claim |
015-698-394 | The Surface of District Lot 4517 Cassiar District Surveyed as “Silver Bell No. 4” Mineral Claim |
009-168-672 | Lot 4776 Cassiar District Prince Rupert Assessment District |
and all minerals precious and base (save coal and petroleum) in or under the following:
Lot No. Claim Name
4507 Renown
4509 Climax
4513 Ariel
4519 Tram Fraction
4516 Silver Bow No. 3
4522 Silverado Fraction
4517 Silver Bell No. 4
4776 Safe Key Fraction
All claims are 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.
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 possess 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 Annual Report, 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 Annual Report, 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.
Business Overview
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. And there can be no assurance that we will find or be able to finalize any suitable oil and gas acquisitions.
Oil and Gas Assets
With a change in management in August, 2009, the Company determined to pursue potential producing oil and gas acquisitions in Western Canada with a view to bringing in immediate revenue. As of the date of the filing of this Annual Report, the Company is negotiating on acquisitions but has not finalized any agreements at this time.
Mineral Properties
Principal Exploration Project - Petch Claim
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 number TD9112, 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.
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.
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.
Our initial plan was to carry out exploration work on the Petch Claim Group by conducting an extensive prospecting and geochemistry program for the 2008 mining season. Unfortunately we did not raise our funds in sufficient time to be able to contract with a technical team to explore the property and we could not get a technical team in place for the 2009 season. Currently we do not have sufficient funds to complete any program. We paid the funds we had allocated to the work program to a creditor holding a promissory note with the Company. We will now have to wait for the 2010 mining season in order to conduct our exploration programs or until such time as we have sufficient funds to proceed with an exploration program. 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.
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.
Portions of the information in this section as well as other information contained in this Annual Report pertaining to our exploration project is summarized or extracted from the Geological Report.
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 assurance 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.
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 filing 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 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.
Patents
The Company owns no patents and no Internet domain names.
Research and Development
The Company has not undertaken any research and development activities during each of its last two fiscal years.
Employees
The Company does not have any employees and did not have any employees during fiscal 2009.
Regulatory Matters
We are not aware that there are any regulatory matters that may affect our business.
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 or our consultant in Alberta, Canada.

Overview
As a natural resource company our focus is to locate prospective properties that may host mineral reserves that could eventually be put into mining production or to locate oil and gas acquisitions that have existing production. With this in mind, we have to this date identified and secured one property in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, identified as the Petch Claim. 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.
Plan of Operations
We intend to retain the required geological consultants to undertake a work program on our Petch Claims. We had budgeted a total of $85,000 for exploration costs related to these claims. To date we have not expended any funds towards our planned exploration program and we do not have the funds available to fund the exploration costs. We will have to raise additional capital in order to fund both our ongoing corporate operations and any costs for exploration on our existing assets or costs related to future acquisitions in the oil and gas sector.
From formation on June 20, 2007, we have concentrated on formative activities and the acquisition of our mineral claims.
Net losses for the period ending July 31, 2009 were $34,032. The net losses for the period ending July 31, 2008 and July 31, 2007, were $65,907 and $91,246 respectively. For fiscal year ending 2009, the net losses were relating to consulting fees of $2,212, professional fees of $13,598 administrative expenses of $5,904, and interest expense of $12,318. For the fiscal 2008 net losses relate to consulting fees of $23,650 ($43,197 for 2007), mineral acquisition costs of $12,000 ($nil for 2007), professional fees of $13,715 ($3,377 for 2007), interest expense of $12,870 ($1,473 for 2007) and administrative expenses of $3,672 ($2 for 2007). In 2007 we also expended a total of $43,197 for mining research. The decrease in expenses between fiscal year 2009, fiscal year 2008 and fiscal year 2007, was mainly due to no mining research expenditures in fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008, compared to fiscal 2007. The result was also due to a further decline in the consulting fees for the fiscal years ending 2008 and fiscal 2009.
We had total assets of $17,070 at July 31, 2009, $110,585 at July 31, 2008 and $36,705 at July 31, 2007. The increase in total assets between fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008 is reflective of the completion of a fund raising under our prospectus offering in 2009 in the amount of $100,000. The decrease in assets between fiscal year 2008 and fiscal year 2009 was a reduction in cash from an amount of $109,027 at July 31, 2008 to an amount of $16,992 at July 31, 2009.
We had total liabilities of $95,855 at July 31, 2009, total current liabilities of $155,338 at July 31, 2008 compared to $1,078 current liabilities at July 31, 2007. The difference in current liabilities between 2007 and 2008 was due to the reclassification of a related party loan from long-term debt to short-term debt in fiscal 2008. This related party liability represents a loan made by David Adelman, a stockholder of the Company, to us for operations. The difference in current liabilities between 2008 and 2009, was a reduction in accounts payable from $16,365 in 2008 to $7,473 in 2009 and a reduction in the related party loan payable from $138,973 in 2008 to $88,382 in 2009.
At July 31, 2009, we had a negative working capital of $78,785. At July 31, 2008, we had negative working capital of $44,753 as compared to positive working capital of $35,627 at July 31, 2007. Between fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008, this change in working capital was due to the reclassification of long-term debt to current debt. Between fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009, the primary change was a reduction in cash.
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 currently do not have sufficient funds available to continue operations. We are currently relying on loans from shareholders to maintain our corporate status. We will be required to raise additional funds for this purpose as well as funds for exploration and acquisitions. It is unknown at this time whether we will be able to raise such capital on terms that may be acceptable to the Company.
Revenue; Cost of Revenue
We did not earn any revenues during fiscal 2009, fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production of our mineral properties or acquired revenue producing oil and gas assets. 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 $21,714 for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2009 as compared to $41,037 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, and as compared to $46,576 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007. The reduction in general and administrative expenses between fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009 was due to a decrease in consulting fees. We expect general and administrative expenses to increase as our operations grow, of which there is no assurance.
B. Liquidity and Capital Resources
At July 31, 2009, our current liabilities of $95,855 exceeded our total current assets of $17,070. At July 31, 2008, our current liabilities of $155,338 ($1,078 as at July 31, 2007) exceeded our total current assets of $110,585 ($36,705 as at July 31, 2007). The decrease in current assets from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009 was due to a reduction in cash. The increase in current assets from fiscal 2008 over fiscal 2007 was due to the completion of our prospectus offering whereby we raised a total of $100,000 by way of the sale of 5,000,000 shares of common stock. The increase in our liabilities from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2007 was mainly due to the reclassification of a related party loan of $138,973 from a long-term liability to a current liability. We do not have sufficient funds on hand to meet our cash requirements for the next twelve months we will need to raise additional capital to continue operations. The holder of the related party loan, which was due and payable in full including accrued interest on June 30, 2009, has, upon receipt of a partial payment of $63,000 (which included accrued interest of $26,164) on July 22, 2009, agreed to extend the loan on a demand basis on the same terms, however the loan could become due and payable at any time and we would not have sufficient funds to pay if demand was made. There can be no assurance that financing will be available to us in an amount and on terms acceptable to us, as and when required, or at all.
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 report are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. We have provided a summary regarding historical exchange rates between these currencies at the beginning of this report under “Financial Information”.
C. | Research and Development, Patents, Licenses, etc. |
We do not undertake any research and development activities.
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.
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.
Fluctuations in Operating Results
Our annual operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of numerous factors, including, among others:
· The availability of adequate financing;
· Our ability to develop an organization infrastructure and effective management systems;
· The success of our exploration and development programs;
· | The adoption of new disclosure and/or corporate governance requirements associated with the maintenance of our status as a publicly reporting issuer; |
· Potential lawsuits involving our exploration activities or other matters; and
· Fluctuations in commodity prices.
Impact of Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business.

ITEM 10. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Not applicable
B. | Memorandum and Articles of Association |
Reference is made to Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2008. The information as presented in that filing has not changed since that date.
We are a party to a Loan Agreement dated June 20, 2007, between David Adelman, as Lender, and Ore-More Resources Inc., as Debtor, wherein the Lender provided us with One Hundred and Twenty Five Thousand (Cdn$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 to an ending date of June 30, 2009. The principal balance on the loan as at July 31, 2009 fiscal year end was $88,382. Mr. Adelman has agreed to an extension on the loan.
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.
As of the date hereof, there are no governmental laws, decrees or regulations in Canada on the export or import of capital, or which impose foreign exchange controls or affect the remittance of interest, dividends or other payments to non-resident holders of our common stock. However, dividends paid to U.S. residents, 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 our company pursuant to Article X of the reciprocal tax treaty between Canada and the U.S. (see Item 10E "Taxation" below).
Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act, 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 our common shares under the laws of Canada or Alberta, or in our charter documents. The following summarizes the principal features of the Investment Canada Act for non-Canadian residents proposing to acquire our common shares.
This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal advice to any holder or prospective holder of our common shares, and no opinion or representation to any holder or prospective holder of our common shares is hereby made. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of our common shares should consult with their own legal advisors with respect to the consequences of purchasing and owning our common shares.
The Investment Canada Act governs the acquisition of Canadian businesses by non-Canadians. Under the Investment Canada Act, non-Canadian persons or entities acquiring "control" (as defined in the Investment Canada Act) of a corporation carrying on business in Canada are required to either notify, or file an application for review with, Industry Canada. Industry Canada may review any transaction which results in the direct or indirect acquisition of control of a Canadian business, where the gross value of corporate assets exceeds certain threshold levels (which are higher for investors from members of the World Trade Organization, including United States residents, or World Trade Organization member-controlled companies) or where the activity of the business is related to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity. No change of voting control will be deemed to have occurred, for purposes of the Investment Canada Act, if less than one-third of the voting control of a Canadian corporation is acquired by an investor.
If an investment is reviewable under the Investment Canada Act, an application for review in the form prescribed is normally required to be filed with Industry Canada prior to the investment taking place, and the investment may not be implemented until the review has been completed and the Minister responsible for the Investment Canada Act is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada. If the Minister is not satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada, the non-Canadian applicant must not implement the investment, or if the investment has been implemented, may be required to divest itself of control of the Canadian business that is the subject of the investment.
Certain transactions relating to our common stock would be exempt from the Investment Canada Act, including:
(a) the acquisition of our common stock by a person in the ordinary course of that person’s business as a trader or dealer in securities;
(b) the acquisition of control of our company in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for a purpose related to the provisions of the Investment Canada Act; and
(c) the acquisition of control of our company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of our company, through ownership of our common stock, remains unchanged.
Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences
We consider that the following general summary fairly describes the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to a holder of our common stock who is a resident of the United States, who is not, will not be and will not be deemed to be a resident of Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and any applicable tax treaty and who does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, his common stock in the capital of our company in connection with carrying on a business in Canada (a "non-resident holder").
This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Income Tax Act, the regulations thereunder (the "Regulations"), the current publicly announced administrative and assessing policies of the Canada Revenue Agency and the Canada-United States Tax Convention (1980), as amended (the "Treaty"). This summary also takes into account the amendments to the Income Tax Act and the Regulations publicly announced by the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the "Tax Proposals") and assumes that all such Tax Proposals will be enacted in their present form. However, no assurances can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed, or at all. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax consequences applicable to a holder of our common stock and, except for the foregoing, this summary 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 considerations, which may differ from the Canadian federal income tax consequences described herein.
This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal, business or tax advice to any particular holder or prospective holder of our common stock, and no opinion or representation with respect to the tax consequences to any holder or prospective holder of our common stock is made. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of our common stock should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of our common stock in their particular circumstances.
Dividends and Paying Agents
Dividends paid on our common stock to a non-resident holder will be subject under the Income Tax Act to withholding tax which tax is deducted at source by our company. The withholding tax rate for dividends prescribed by the Income Tax Act is 25% but this rate may be reduced under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty. Under the Treaty, the withholding tax rate is reduced to 15% on dividends paid by our company to residents of the United States and is further reduced to 5% where the beneficial owner of the dividends is a corporation resident in the United States that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of our company.
The Treaty provides that the Income Tax Act standard 25% withholding tax rate is reduced to 15% on dividends paid on stock of a corporation resident in Canada (such as our company) to residents of the United States, and also provides for a further reduction of this rate to 5% where the beneficial owner of the dividends is a corporation resident in the United States that owns at least 10% of the voting stock of the corporation paying the dividend.
Capital Gains
A non-resident holder is not subject to tax under the Income Tax Act in respect of a capital gain realized upon the disposition of a common share of our company unless such share is "taxable Canadian property" (as defined in the Income Tax Act) of the non-resident holder. Our common stock generally will not be taxable Canadian property of a non-resident holder unless the non-resident holder alone or together with non-arm’s length persons owned, or had an interest in an option in respect of, not less than 25% of the issued stock of any class of our capital stock at any time during the 60 month period immediately preceding the disposition of the stock. In the case of a non-resident holder resident in the United States for whom stock of our company is taxable Canadian property, no Canadian taxes will generally be payable on a capital gain realized on such stock by reason of the Treaty unless the value of such stock is derived principally from real property situated in Canada.
Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following is a general discussion of certain possible United States Federal foreign income tax matters under current law, generally applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) of our common stock who holds such stock as capital assets. This discussion does not address all aspects of United States Federal income tax matters and does not address consequences peculiar to persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as those described below as excluded from the definition of a U.S. Holder. In addition, this discussion does not cover any state, local or foreign tax consequences. See "Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences" above.
The following discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "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. In addition, this discussion does not consider the potential effects, both adverse and beneficial, of any recently proposed legislation which, if enacted, could be applied, possibly on a retroactive basis, at any time. No assurance can be given that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions, or will not take, or a court will not adopt, a position contrary to any position taken herein.
The following discussion is for general information only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal, business or tax advice to any holder or prospective holder of our common stock, and no opinion or representation with respect to the United States Federal income tax consequences to any such holder or prospective holder is made. Accordingly, holders and prospective holders of common shares are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to Federal, state, local, and foreign tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of our common shares.
U.S. Holders
As used herein, a "U.S. Holder" includes a holder of less than 10% of our common shares who is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, any entity which is taxable as a corporation for United States tax purposes and any other person or entity whose ownership of our common stock is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. A U.S. Holder does not include persons subject to special provisions of Federal income tax law, such as tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, broker-dealers, non-resident alien individuals or foreign corporations whose ownership of our common stock is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and stockholders who acquired their stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation.
Distributions
The gross amount of a distribution paid to a U.S. Holder will generally be taxable as dividend income to the U.S. Holder for United States federal income tax purposes to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Distributions which are taxable dividends and which meet certain requirements will be "unqualified dividend income" and taxed to U.S. Holders at a maximum United States federal rate of 15%. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the common stock and, to the extent in excess of such tax basis, will be treated as a gain from a sale or exchange of such stock.
Capital Gains
In general, upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of common stock, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize a capital gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale or other distribution and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such stock. Such gain or loss will be a United States source gain or loss and will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period of the stock exceeds one year. If the U.S. Holder is an individual, any capital gain will generally be subject to United States federal income tax at preferential rates if specified minimum holding periods are met. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.
Foreign Tax Credit
A U.S. Holder who pays (or has had withheld from distributions) Canadian income tax with respect to the ownership of our common stock may be entitled, at the option of the U.S. Holder, to either a deduction or a tax credit for such foreign tax paid or withheld. Generally, it will be more advantageous to claim a credit because a credit reduces United States Federal income taxes on a dollar-for-dollar basis, while a deduction merely reduces the taxpayer’s income subject to tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and generally applies to all foreign income taxes paid by (or withheld from) the U.S. Holder during that year. There are significant and complex limitations which apply to the tax credit, among which is an ownership period requirement and the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of the U.S. Holder’s United States income tax liability that the U.S. Holder’s foreign source income bears to his or its worldwide taxable income. In determining the application of this limitation, the various items of income and deduction must be classified into foreign and domestic sources. Complex rules govern this classification process. There are further limitations on the foreign tax credit for certain types of income such as "passive income", "high withholding tax interest", "financial services income", "shipping income", and certain other classifications of income. The availability of the foreign tax credit and the application of these complex limitations on the tax credit are fact specific and holders and prospective holders of our common stock should consult their own tax advisors regarding their individual circumstances.
Passive Foreign Investment Corporation
We do not believe that we are a passive foreign investment corporation (a "PFIC") because we have realized no income, domestic or foreign. However, since PFIC status depends upon the composition of a company’s income and assets and the market value of its assets and stock from time to time, there is no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year. If we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held stock, certain adverse tax consequences could apply to the U.S. Holder.
If we are treated as a PFIC for any taxable year, gains recognized by such U.S. Holder on a sale or other disposition of stock would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the stock. The amount allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other exchange and to any year before we became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as applicable, and an interest charge would be imposed on the amount allocated to such taxable year. Further, any distribution in respect of stock in excess of 125% of the average of the annual distributions on stock received by the U.S. Holder during the preceding three years or the U.S. Holder’s holding period, whichever is shorter, would be subject to taxation as described above. Certain elections may be available to U.S. Holders that may mitigate some of the adverse consequences resulting from PFIC status. However, regardless of whether such elections are made, dividends paid by a PFIC will not be "qualified dividend income" and will generally be taxed at the higher rates applicable to other items of ordinary income.
We will establish an office for the Company in the U.S. and engage in a U.S. trade or business for U.S. tax purposes. Therefore, future foreign source income should not result in the Company being classified as a PFIC.
U.S. Holders and prospective holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to their ownership of our common stock.

Use of Proceeds
On April 9, 2008 our Registration Statement on Form F-1 under Commission file number 333-149325 was declared effective, enabling us to offer up to 7,500,000 shares of common stock of our company at a price of $0.02 per share. During May and June, 2008 we accepted subscriptions for 5,000,000 shares of the offering from 26 investors, raising a total of $100,000. No commissions were paid on any of the above issuances. On July 16, 2008, the company filed a post effective amendment de-registering a total of 2,500,000 shares as the offering had expired. As of July 31, 2009, there were 17,400,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of which 200,000 shares were held by our officers and directors.
Following is the use of proceeds for actual expenses incurred for our account from April 9, 2008 to July 31, 2009 in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities:
Expense | | Amount of direct or indirect payments to directors, officers, general partners, 10% stockholders or affiliates of the Issuer | | | Amount of direct or indirect payments to others | |
Transfer agent | | $ | - | | | $ | 500 | |
Office and administration, including accounting, filing fees and general costs | | $ | - | | | $ | 2,622 | |
The above costs were paid from working capital on hand prior to the completion of the offering. Net proceeds of the offering were $100,000
Following is a table detailing the use of net offering proceeds to July 31, 2009 from the offering of the securities.
Expenses | | Amount of direct or indirect payments to directors, officers, general partners, 10% stockholders or affiliates of the Issuer | | | Amount of direct or indirect payments to others | |
Exploration activities | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
General working capital | | $ | - | | | $ | 2,155 | |
Legal and accounting | | $ | - | | | $ | 17,853 | |
Related Pary Loan Payment | | $ | 63,000 | | | $ | - | |
In total, an amount of $83,008 was used from net proceeds, as at July 31, 2009, leaving $16,992 remaining as at July 31, 2009.
The original planned use of proceeds was $85,000 to be expended towards mineral exploration, $15,000 for ongoing legal and accounting expenses incurred subsequent to the Offering, and $50,000 for general working capital. The Company was successful in raising only $100,000 of the planned $150,000; therefore the Company did not raise sufficient funds for working capital. Further, the loan was required to be retired prior to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009 and the Company was unable to raise any additional funds to undertake retirement of the loan. Therefore, management determined to expend a portion of the funds raised for mineral exploration against a partial pay down of the outstanding loan in order to ensure that the lender granted an extension to give management a chance to source additional funding as they could not commence the exploration program until 2010 due to the lack of availability of technical persons to undertake the work and weather conditions whereby the Company could get access to the property. This payment is a material change from the proposed use of proceeds.
ITEM 15T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of July 31, 2009, because of the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”) described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 14d-14(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to financial reporting reliability and financial statement preparation and presentation. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions and that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2009. In making the assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on its assessment, management concluded that, as of July 31, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that material weaknesses in ICFR existed as more fully described below.
As defined by Auditing Standard No. 5, “An Audit of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting that is Integrated with an Audit of Financial Statements and Related Independence Rule and Conforming Amendments,” established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), a material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiencies that represent material weaknesses as of July 31, 2009:
1. Lack of an independent audit committee or audit committee financial expert, and no independent directors. We do not have any members of the Board who are independent directors and we do not have an audit committee. These factors may be counter to corporate governance practices as defined by the various stock exchanges and may lead to less supervision over management;
2. Inadequate staffing and supervision within our bookkeeping operations. We have one consultant involved in bookkeeping functions, who provides two staff members. The relatively small number of people who are responsible for bookkeeping functions and the fact that they are from the same firm of consultants prevents us from segregating duties within our internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely
and effective reviews which may result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC;
3. Outsourcing of the accounting operations of our Company. Because there are no employees in our administration, we have outsourced all of our accounting functions to an independent firm. The employees of this firm are managed by supervisors within the firm and are not answerable to the Company’s management. This is a material weakness because it could result in a disjunction between the accounting policies adopted by our Board of Directors and the accounting practices applied by the firm;
4. Insufficient installation of information technology to assist in our accounting functions. Because of a lack of working capital and personnel, we do not have any information technology software and hardware to assist in providing effective controls;
5. Insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements;
6. Ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As of July 31, 2009, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and based on that evaluation, they concluded that during the year ended July 31, 2009 and to date, the internal controls and procedures were not effective due to deficiencies that existed in the design or operation of our internal controls over financial reporting. However, management believes these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results. During the course of their evaluation, we did not discover any fraud involving management or any other personnel who play a significant role in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting.
Due to a lack of financial and personnel resources, we are not able to, and do not intend to, immediately take any action to remediate these material weaknesses. We will not be able to do so until, if ever, we acquire sufficient financing and staff. We will implement further controls as circumstances, cash flow, and working capital permit. Notwithstanding the assessment that our ICFR was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in this report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009, fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the years covered thereby in all material respects.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above were the result of the scale of our operations and are intrinsic to our small size. Management believes these weaknesses did not have an effect on our financial results.
We are committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment, we will, as soon as funds are available to the Company (1) appoint outside directors to our board of directors sufficient to form an audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring or required internal controls and procedures; (2) create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives and to increase our personnel resources. We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements as necessary and as funds allow.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended fiscal July 31, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 16. [RESERVED]
ITEM 16A. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
We presently do not have an audit committee and accordingly, we do not have an audit committee member who qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" or who is "independent" as that is defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Market Place Rules. Our board of directors performs the same functions as an audit committee. Since there are no independent members of the board, it is not feasible at this time to have an audit committee.
ITEM 16B. CODE OF ETHICS
We have not adopted a written code of ethics. We have not seen any need to adopt a written code of ethics on the basis that our corporate culture effectively deters wrongdoing and promotes honest and ethical conduct, full, fair and accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents, the compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, and prompt internal reporting.
ITEM 16C. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES
Our independent auditors for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2009 and 2008 were Child, Van Wagoner & Bradshaw, PLLC of Salt Lake City, Utah.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Officers and Directors
Ore-More Resources Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Ore-More Resources Inc. as of July 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, and for the period from inception (June 20, 2007) to July 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 audits 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 audits 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 accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ore-More Resources Inc. as of July 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations, and its cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, and for the period from inception (June 20, 2007) to July 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2009
(REPORTED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS)
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 $191,185, 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.
2. 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. |
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. |

(REPORTED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS)
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) |
| 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.
h) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009 the FASB established the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of GAAP for SEC registrants. Existing GAAP was not intended to be changed as a result of the Codification, and accordingly the change did not impact our financial statements. The ASC does change the way the guidance is organized and presented.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") SFAS No. 165 (ASC Topic 855), "Subsequent Events", SFAS No. 166 (ASC Topic 810), "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets-an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140", SFAS No. 167 (ASC Topic 810), "Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)", and SFAS No. 168 (ASC Topic 105), "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162" were recently issued. SFAS No. 165, 166, 167, and 168 have no current applicability to the Company or their effect on the financial statements would not have been significant.

3. Income Taxes
The Company has losses carried forward of approximately $191,185 which expire in 2029.
We follow applicable FASB Statements regarding Accounting for Income Taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of (a) temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carryforwards. No net provision for refundable Federal income tax has been made in the accompanying statement of operations because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Similarly, no deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carryforward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.
The provision for refundable Federal and Provincial income tax consists of the following:
| | July 31, 2009 | | | July 31, 2008 | | | July 31, 2007 | |
Combined Canadian Federal & Provincial income tax rate | | | 29 | % | | | 29.5 | % | | | 32.5 | % |
Refundable Federal & Provincial income tax combined attributable to: | | $ | | | | $ | | | | $ | | |

Change in deferred tax valuation allowance | | | (9,869 | ) | | | (19,443 | ) | | | (29,655 | ) |

3. Income Taxes - continued
At July 31, 2009, we had an unused net operating loss carryover approximating $191,185 that is available to offset future taxable income with $91,246 expiring in 2027, $65,907 in 2028 and $34,032 in 2029.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on July 20, 2007. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation No. 48, the Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company has no tax position at July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2008 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. No such interest or penalties were recognized during the periods presented. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at July 31, 2009 or July 31, 2008. The Company’s utilization of any net operating loss carry forward may be unlikely as a result of its intended exploration stage activities.
4. Stockholders’ Equity
The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of common stock with no par value and had 17,400,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2009.
