PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
Overview
The following is only a summary of the information, financial statements and the notes included in this Prospectus. You should read the entire Prospectus carefully, including “Risk Factors” and our Financial Statements and the notes to the Financial Statements before making any investment decision. Unless the context indicates or suggests otherwise, the terms “”Company, “we,” “our” and “us” means Resource Group, Inc.
Our Business
Resource Group, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 2, 2007 to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties. We are an exploration stage
Company with no revenues and a limited operating history. The principal executive offices are located at, 600 Parker Road Fairfield, California 94533.
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not had any revenues, have not begun operations and we have one mining property asset and cash. Our Company has no employees at the present time with the general administration being performed at no cost by our President and Director James P. Geiskopf and our Treasurer Ken Greenlaw. We do not expect to commence earning revenues for at least three year after this registration statement becomes effective.
Our mineral claim has been prospected, sampled and staked and we have engaged the services of Edward Kruchkowski, a professional geologist, to prepare a geological report. We have commenced no other exploration activities on the claim. Our property is without known reserves and there is the possibility that the Strohn Creek claims on the Meziadin Project does not contain any reserves and funds that we spend on exploration will be lost. Even if we complete our current exploration program and are successful in identifying a molybdenum, gold or other metals deposit we will be required to expend substantial funds to bring our claim to production.
There is no current public market for our securities. As our stock is not publicly traded, investors should be aware they probably will be unable to sell their shares and their investment in our securities is not liquid.
Common Stock Outstanding and Related Stockholder Matters
In December 2007 we issued 1,500,000 @ $0.001 to each of our two Directors, in aggregate 3,000,000
Common Stock was issued in February 2008 in accordance with a Section 4(2) offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder
In February 2008 the Company offered up to 600,000 shares offered for sale for cash at $0.10 per share. The offering was fully subscribed, the Company realized a total of $60,000. The sales were made to friends and family of the Officers and Directors.
Total shares issued and outstanding as of February 29, 2008 - 3,600,000 shares.
Following this offering the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company was 3,600,000

RISK FACTORS
An investment in these securities involves an exceptionally high degree of risk and is extremely speculativein nature. Following are what we believe are all the material risks involved if you decide to purchaseshares in this offering.
The risks described below are the ones we believe are most important for you to consider. These risks are not the only ones that we face. If events anticipated by any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating results or financial condition could suffer and the price of our common stock could decline.
WE ARE AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY BUT HAVE NOT YET COMMENCED EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES ON OUR CLAIM, WE EXPECT TO INCUR OPERATING LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We have not yet commenced exploration on the Strohn Creek Claim. Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. We were incorporated on April 2, 2007 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities and the acquisition of the Strohn Creek Claim. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus and have incurred losses of $18,496 to date. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises.
The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without procuring any revenues. We expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from
development of the Strohn Creek Claim and the production of the targeted Molybdenum and Gold resources from the claim, we will unable to earn profits or continue operations.
There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and it is doubtful that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
BECAUSE MANAGEMENT HAS NO TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE IN MINERAL EXPLORATION, OUR BUSINESS HAS A HIGHER RISK OF FAILURE.
Our directors have no professional training or technical credentials in the field of geology and specifically in the areas of exploring, developing and operating a mine. As a result, we may not be able to recognize and take advantage of potential acquisition and exploration opportunities in the sector without the aid of qualified geological consultants. Management's decisions and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral exploration companies commonly use. Consequently our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success may suffer irreparable harm as a result.
OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR HAS ISSUED AN AUDIT OPINION FOR RESOURCE GROUP, WHICH INCLUDES A STATEMENT DESCRIBING OUR GOING CONCERN STATUS. OUR FINANCIAL STATUS CREATES A DOUBT WHETHER WE WILL CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.
As described in Note 3 of our accompanying financial statements, our limited exploration to date and our lack of any guaranteed sources of future capital create substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. If our business plan does not work, we could remain as a start-up Company with limited operations and revenues.
THE VALIDITY OF OUR UNPATENTED MINING CLAIMS COULD BE CHALLENGED, WHICH COULDFORCE US TO CURTAIL OR CEASE OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
Our property consists of two unpatented mining claims, which we own. These claims are located on Province of British Columbia land and involve mineral rights that are subject to the claims procedures established by the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. We must make certain filings with the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources in the province in which the land or mineral is situated and pay annual fees or exploration work equal to the fees amounting to $2,453.74 for both our claims. If we fail to make the annual holding fee by payment or completion of exploration work, our mining claim will become void and available to others.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS COULD CURTAIL OR DELAY EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT OFOUR MINE AND IMPOSE SIGNIFICANT COSTS ON US.
During the exploration and mining processes, we are required to comply with numerous environmental laws and regulations imposed by federal and provincial authorities, which impose effluent and waste standards, performance standards, air quality and emissions standards and other design or operational requirements for various components of exploration, mining and mineral processing.
Many provinces, including British Columbia (where our Strohn Creek Moly/Gold claims are located), have also adopted regulations that establish design, operation, monitoring, and closing requirements for mining operations. Under these regulations, mining companies are required to provide a reclamation plan and financial assurance including cash deposits to ensure that the reclamation plan is implemented upon completion of mining operations. Additionally, British Columbia and other require mining operations to obtain and comply with environmental permits, including permits regarding air emissions and the protection of surface water and groundwater. Although we believe that we are currently in compliance with applicable federal and provincial environmental laws, changes in those laws and regulations may necessitate significant capital outlays or delays, may materially and adversely affect the economics of a given property, or may cause material changes or delays
in our intended exploration, development and production activities. Any of these results could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION OR OTHER LEGAL UNCERTAINTIES MAY INCREASE COSTS AND OUR BUSINESS WILL BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED.
There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral claim exploration and development. Under British Columbia mining law, engaging in certain types of exploration requires work permits, the posting of bonds, and the performance of remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land. While these current laws will not affect specific types of exploration work, if we identify exploitable minerals and proceed to phase two which includes drilling operations on the Strohn Creek Claim, we will incur regulatory compliance costs based upon the size and scope of our operations. In addition, new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from exploring for and the exploitation of ore deposits. In addition to new laws and regulations being adopted, existing laws may be applied to mining that have not as yet been applied. These new laws may increase our cost of doing business with the result that our financial condition and operating results may be harmed.
THE DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION OF OUR MINING PROJECTS INVOLVE NUMEROUSUNCERTAINTIES.
Mine development projects, including our planned projects, typically require a number of years and significant expenditures during the exploration and development phase before production is possible.
Development projects are subject to the completion of successful feasibility studies, issuance of necessary governmental permits and receipt of adequate financing. The economic feasibility of development projects is based on many factors such as:
- estimation of reserves;
- anticipated metallurgical recoveries;
- future molybdenum and gold prices; and
- anticipated capital and operating costs of such projects.
Our project has limited relevant operating history upon which to base estimates of future operating costs and capital requirements. Estimates of proven and probable reserves and operating costs determined in feasibility studies are based on geologic and engineering analyses.
Any of the following events, among others, could affect the profitability or economic feasibility of a project:
- unanticipated changes in grade and tonnage of material to be mined and processed;
- unanticipated adverse geotechnical conditions;
- incorrect data on which engineering assumptions are made;
- costs of constructing and operating a mine in a specific environment;
- availability and cost of processing and refining facilities;
- availability of economic sources of power;
- adequacy of water supply;
- adequate access to the site;
- unanticipated transportation costs;
- government regulations (including regulations relating to prices, royalties, duties, taxes, restrictions on production, quotas on exportation of minerals, as well as the costs of protection of the environment and agricultural lands);
- fluctuations in metal prices; and
- accidents, labor actions and force majeure events.
Any of the above referenced events may necessitate significant capital outlays or delays, may materially and adversely affect the economics of a given property, or may cause material changes or delays in our intended
exploration, development and production activities. Any of these results could force us to curtail or cease our business operations.
MINERAL EXPLORATION IS HIGHLY SPECULATIVE, INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL EXPENDITURES,AND IS FREQUENTLY NON-PRODUCTIVE.
Mineral exploration involves a high degree of risk and exploration projects are frequently unsuccessful. Few prospects that are explored end up being ultimately developed into producing mines. To the extent that we continue to be involved in mineral exploration, the long-term success of our operations will be related to the cost and success of our exploration programs. We cannot assure you that our mineral exploration efforts will be successful. The risks associated with mineral exploration include:
- The identification of potential economic mineralization based on superficial analysis;
- the quality of our management and our geological and technical expertise; and
- the capital available for exploration and development.
Substantial expenditures are required to determine if a project has economically mineable mineralization. It may take several years to establish proven and probable reserves and to develop and construct mining and processing facilities. Because of these uncertainties, our current and future exploration programs may not result in the discovery of reserves, the expansion of our existing reserves or the further development of our mines.
THE PRICE OF MOLYBDENUM AND GOLD ARE HIGHLY VOLATILE AND A DECREASE IN THEPRICE OF MOLYBDENUM OR GOLD WOULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS.
The profitability of mining operations is directly related to the market prices of metals. 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 of metals from the time development of a mine is undertaken to the time production can commence can significantly affect the profitability of a mine. Accordingly, we may begin to develop one or more of our mines at a time when the price of metals makes such exploration economically feasible and, subsequently, incur losses because the price of metals decreases. Adverse fluctuations of the market prices of metals may force us to curtail or cease our business operations.
RESERVE ESTIMATES ARE POTENTIALLY INACCURATE.
Estimate of reserves on property is either “proven reserves” or “probable reserves.” At this time we have no proven reserves or probable reserves. Ore reserve figures and costs are primarily estimates and are not guarantees that we will recover the indicated quantities of these metals. Estimated proven reserve quantities based on sampling and testing of sites conducted by the Company or by independent companies hired by the Company. Probable reserves are based on information similar to that used for proven reserves, but the sites for sampling are less extensive, and the degree of certainty is less. Reserve estimation is an interpretive process based upon available geological data and statistical inferences and is inherently imprecise and may prove to be unreliable.
Reserves are reduced as existing reserves are depleted through production. Reserves may be reduced due to lower than anticipated volume and grade of reserves mined and processed and recovery rates.
Reserve estimates are calculated using assumptions regarding metals prices. These prices have fluctuated widely in the past. Declines in the market price of metals, as well as increased production costs, capital costs and reduced recovery rates, may render reserves uneconomic to exploit. Any material reduction in our reserves may lead to increased net losses, reduced cash flow, asset write-downs and other adverse effects on our results of operations and financial condition. Reserves should not be interpreted as assurances of mine life or of the
profitability of current or future operations. No assurance can be given that the amount of metal estimated will be produced or the indicated level of recovery of these metals will be realized.
MINING RISKS AND INSURANCE COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR PROFITABILITY.
Our operations are subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incident to exploring for and developing mineral properties, such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, environmental pollution, personal injuries, flooding, cave-ins, changes in technology or mining techniques, periodic interruptions because of inclement weather and industrial accidents. Insurance is available to ameliorate some of these risks, however such insurance may not continue to be available at economically feasible rates or in the future be adequate to cover the risks and potential liabilities associated with exploring, owning and operating our properties. Either of these events could cause us to curtail or cease our business operations.
NO MARKET CURRENTLY EXISTS FOR OUR SECURITIES AND WE CANNOT ASSURE YOU THAT SUCH A MARKET WILL EVER DEVELOP, OR IF DEVELOPED, WILL BE SUSTAINED.
Our common stock is not currently eligible for trading on any stock exchange and there can be no assurance that our common stock will be listed on any stock exchange in the future. We intend to apply for listing on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board trading system pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but there can be no assurance we will obtain such a listing. The bulletin board tends to be highly illiquid, in part because there is no national quotation system by which potential investors can track the market price of shares except through information received or generated by a limited number of broker-dealers that make a market in particular stocks. There is a greater chance of market volatility for securities that trade on the bulletin board as opposed to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including: the lack of readily available price quotations; the absence of consistent administrative supervision of "bid" and "ask" quotations; lower trading volume; and general market conditions. If no market for our shares materializes, you may not be able to sell your shares or may have to sell your shares at a significantly lower price.
IF OUR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ARE ACTIVELY TRADED ON A PUBLIC MARKET, THEY WILL IN ALL LIKELIHOOD BE PENNY STOCKS.
Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the SEC. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price per share of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer must also provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock the broker-dealer 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. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules..
WE WILL INCUR ONGOING COSTS AND EXPENSES FOR SEC REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE WITHOUT REVENUE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES, IF AT ALL.
We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the close of the offering and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. To be eligible for quotation, issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC. In order for us to remain in compliance we will require future revenues to cover the cost of
these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues to remain in compliance it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The selling shareholder will retain the proceeds from any sales of common stock. The Company does not share in the proceeds.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The selling security holders will sell 600,000 common shares at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Each selling security holder will determine the number of common shares that may actually be sold by a selling security holder. The selling security holders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of the common shares offered, nor are the selling security holders obligated to sell such shares immediately under this Prospectus. A shareholder may sell common stock at any price depending on privately negotiated factors such as a shareholder's own cash requirements, or objective criteria of value such as the market value of our assets.
DILUTION
All 600,000 issued common shares to be sold by the selling security holders are common shares that are currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, they will not cause dilution to our existing shareholders.
SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS
The following table sets forth the Common Stock ownership and other information relating to the Selling Stockholders as of March 14, 2008.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Following this registration statement becoming effective, the selling stockholders may from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of common stock or interests in shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
Our shares of common stock offered hereby by the selling stockholders may be sold from time to time by such stockholders, or by pledges, donees, transferees and other successors in interest thereto. These pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors in interest will be deemed “selling stockholders” for the purposes of this prospectus. Our shares of common stock may be sold:
- on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market (including the OTC Bulletin Board); or
- in privately negotiated transactions.
Rule 144 Shares.
A total of 600,000 shares of the common stock will be available for resale to the public after the effective date of this prospectus; a total of 3,600,000 shares of the common stock will be available for resale to the public after December 1, 2008 in accordance with the applicable holding period, volume and manner of sale limitations of Rule 144 of the Act.
In accordance with the volume and trading limitations of Rule 144 of the Act, in general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned shares of a company's common stock for at least twelve (12) month if the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act of 1934 or six (6) months, provided that the company has been subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act of 1934 for a minimum of 90 days, is entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of: 1% of the number of shares of common stock then outstanding which, in this case, will equal approximately 36,000 shares as of the date of this prospectus; or the average weekly trading volume of common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on form 144 with respect to the sale.
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the Company. Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not one of the Company’s affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least twelve (12) month if the Company is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, or six months, provided that the company has been subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Act of 1934 is entitled to sell shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.
The selling stockholders may also sell their shares directly to market makers acting as principals or brokers or dealers, who may act as agents or acquire the common stock as principals.
Any broker or dealer participating in such transactions as agent may receive a commission from the selling stockholders, or if they act as agent for the purchaser of such common stock, from such purchaser. The selling stockholders will likely pay the usual and customary brokerage fees for such services. Brokers or dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of shares at a stipulated price per share and, to the extent such broker or dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for the selling stockholders, to purchase, as principal, any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the respective broker’s or dealer’s commitment to the selling stockholders. Brokers or dealers who acquire shares as principals may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions in a market or on an exchange, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices, and in connection with such re-sales may pay or receive commissions to or from the purchasers of such shares. These transactions may involve cross and block transactions that may involve sales to and through other brokers or dealers. If applicable, the selling stockholders may distribute shares to one or more of their partners who are unaffiliated with us. Such partners may, in turn, distribute such shares as described above. We can provide no assurance that all or any of the common stock offered will be sold by the selling stockholders.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. The selling stockholders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the common stock.
Regulation M
During such time as the selling security holders may be engaged in a distribution of any of the shares being registered by this registration statement, the selling security holders are required to comply with Regulation M. In general, Regulation M precludes any selling security holder, any affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete.
Regulation M defines a“distribution”as an offering of securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading activities by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods. Regulation M also defines a“distribution participant”as an underwriter, prospective underwriter, broker, dealer, or other person who has agreed to participate or who is participating in a distribution.
Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution. Regulation M also governs bids and purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution of the security. We have informed the selling security holders that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M may apply to the sales of their shares offered by this Prospectus, and we have also advised the selling security holders of the requirements for delivery of this Prospectus in connection with any sales of the common stock offered by this Prospectus.
In regards to short sells, the selling security holders cannot cover their short sales with shares from this offering. In addition, if such short sale is deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the selling security holders will not be permitted to engage in a short sale of our common stock. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of the shares

Resource Group, Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Resource Group, Inc. (A Exploration Stage Company) as of February 29, 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flow for the year ended February 29, 2008 and since inception on April 2, 2007 through February 29, 2008. 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 standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Resource Group, Inc. (A Exploration Stage Company) as of February 29, 2008, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flow for the year ended February 29, 2008 and since inception on April 2, 2007 through February 29, 2008, 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 3 to the financial statements, the Company has had no business operations to date and must secure additional financing to commence the Company’s plan of operations, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Resource Group, Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes To Financial Statements
February 29, 2007
1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
a) Organization
The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware, United States of America on April 2, 2007. The Company’s year-end is February 2008.
b) Development Stage Activities
The Company is in the development stage and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. The Company’s business plan is to acquire mining properties in Canada while remaining open to the acquisition of other base and precious metal property opportunities worldwide. During this period the Company has acquired a Molybdenum – Gold property located at Strohn Creek, British Columbia, Canada, further described as the Meziadin Lake Project
Based upon the Company's business plan, it is a development stage enterprise. Accordingly, the Company presents its financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America that apply in establishing operating enterprises. As a development stage enterprise, the Company discloses the deficit accumulated during the development stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from inception to the current balance sheet date.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements. The financial statements are stated in United States of America dollars.
a) Organizational and Start-up Costs
Costs of start-up activities, including organizational costs, are expensed as incurred in accordance with SOP 98-5.
b) Income Taxes
The Company has adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 – “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting of income taxes. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
c) Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
In accordance with SFAS No. 128 – “Earnings Per Share”, the basic loss per common share is computed by
F-7
dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per common share is computed similar to basic loss per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. At February 29, 2007 the Company had no stock equivalents that were anti-dilutive and excluded in the earnings per share computation.
d) Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial statements.
e) Revenue Recognition
The company has had no revenues to date. It is the Company’s policy that revenues will be recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." Under SAB 104, product revenues (or service revenues) are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or service has been performed), the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.
f) Currency
The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar.
g) Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
h) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
i) Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is not shown for periods in which the Company incurs a loss because it would be anti-dilutive.
j) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which amends and clarifies the accounting guidance on certain derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer of equity (including the equity shares of any entity whose financial statements are included in the consolidated financial statements) classifies and measures on its balance sheet
F-8
certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and for existing financial instruments after July 1, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities," and a revised interpretation of FIN 46 ("FIN 46-R") in December 2003. FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities ("VIEs") to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The provisions of FIN 46 are effective immediately for all arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003. Since January 31, 2003, the Company has not invested in any entities it believes are variable interest entities for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. For all arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003, the Company was required to continue to apply FIN 46 through April 30, 2004. The Company was required to adopt the provisions of FIN 46-R for those arrangements on May 1, 2004. For arrangements entered into prior to February 1, 2003, the Company was required to adopt the provisions of FIN 46-R on May 1, 2004. The adoption of this statement did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
k) Other
The Company consists of one reportable business segment. The Company paid no dividends during the periods presented.
3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. However, the Company has no business operations to date and must secure additional financing to commence the Company’s plan of operations. The Company intends to acquire additional operating capital through equity offerings to the public to fund its business plan. There is no assurance that the equity offerings will be successful in raising sufficient funds to commence operations or to assure the eventual profitability of the Company.
4. MINING PROPERTY
The Company owns a Molybdenum-Gold mining property located at Strohn Creek, further described as the Meziadin Lake Project, which is located approximately 35 kilometres east of Stewart, British Columbia. One hundred percent (100%) of the property has been acquired by the Company from the previous owner. The property is comprised of 2 claims, tenure number 551606 and 551608 covering approximately 613.5 hectares (1,516 Acres). The claim extends from just west of the confluence of Surprise Creek and Strohn Creek for approximately 2 kilometres east-west and 3 kilometres north-south. A geologist was engaged by the Company to prepare a Geological Report. This report was completed January 4, 2008 in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101
Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
5. PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE - RELATED PARTIES
The Company has sold to two officers/director of the Company, secured one year, 10% Promissory Notes (the “Notes), amounting to in aggregate $80,000.00, due November 12, 2008 pursuant to a Purchase Agreement and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder,. Subsequent to the making of the Notes, on December 1, 2007, the note holders agreed to convert, in aggregate $3,000 of the face value of the Notes into common stock of the Company leaving $77,000 Notes Payable plus $852 accrued interest payable for the period from date of advance, January 18, 2008 to February 29, 2008.
F-9
6. INCOME TAXES
The Company is subject to US federal income taxes. The Company has had no income, and therefore has paid no income tax.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The Company’s has no deferred tax assets at this time.
Income taxes at the statutory rate will be re reconciled to the Company’s actual income taxes as follows:
Income tax benefit at statutory rate resulting from net operating | (15%) |
loss carry forward | |
Deferred income tax valuation allowance | 15% |
Actual tax rate | 0% |

OVERVIEW
Resource Group, Inc. is a mineral exploration, development and production Company specializing in acquiring and consolidating mineral properties with potential production and future growth through exploration discoveries. Acquisition emphasis is focused on properties containing gold, silver, molybdenum and other strategic minerals that present low political and financial risk and exceptional upside potential. Our main focus is currently in British Columbia, Canada.
We were formed in the State of Delaware on April 2, 2007. Presently our primary mining property assets are the Strohn Creek mineral claims on the Meziadin Property (“Strohn Creek”) located near Stewart, British Columbia, Canada, of which we currently own 100% (Figure 1). Management’s near-term goal is to continue to sample the Strohn Creek claims for molybdenum, gold and other mineral deposits.
GOING CONCERN
Our independent auditors have added an explanatory paragraph to their audit opinion issued in connection with our consolidated financial statements for the period ended February 29, 2007 and 2005 with respect to their doubt about our ability to continue The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception in 2007, and has an accumulated deficit of $(18,501) at February 29, 2008, which together raises doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern will be determined by our ability to sustain a successful level of operations and to continue to raise capital from debt, equity and other sources. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our cash balance is $97,098 as of February 29, 2008. We believe our cash balance is sufficient to fund our limited levels of operations until August 2008. We are an exploration stage company and have generated no revenue to date. We have sold $63,000 in equity securities and have notes payable to our officers and directors amounting to $77,852 due November 2008. We expect that we have adequate funds available to pay for our minimum level of operations.
Our auditor has issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills. This is because we have not generated revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. There is no assurance we will ever reach that stage.
PLAN OF OPERATION
We will conduct mineral exploration activities on the Strohn Creek Claims in order to assess whether the property contains mineral reserves capable of commercial extraction. Our exploration program is designed to explore for commercially viable deposits of molybdenum, gold and other minerals. We have not, nor has any predecessor, identified any commercially exploitable reserves of these minerals at Strohn Creek.
For the twelve months following the date of this prospectus we plan to complete the first phase of the exploration program on our claims consisting of geological prospecting and assaying, (Phase I), trenching and detailed sampling of historic zones (Phase II). We estimate the cost to be about $21,000 for the Phase I and II Exploration program as outlined below. In addition to this $21,000 we anticipate spending an additional $17,200 on professional and administrative fees, including fees payable in connection with the filing of this registration statement and complying with reporting obligations. Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be approximately $38,200, which is covered by the cash on hand. We do not expect to commence work on Phase III until spring 2009, subject to information obtained during the 2008 work program and available funds to complete the outlined program.
Prior to the Company purchasing the Strohn Creek mineral claim, the vendor was required to have prepared at Company cost a geological evaluation report on the Strohn Creek mineral claims. This report was prepared by Mr. Edward Kruchkowski, P. Geo., and was completed on January 4, 2008. Mr. Kruchkowski’s report summarizes the results of the history of the exploration of the mineral claims, the regional and local geology of the mineral claims and the mineralization and the geological formations identified as a result of prior exploration on the claims and in the claim areas.
The geological report also gives conclusions regarding mineralization of the mineral claims and recommends a further exploration program on the mineral claims. The exploration program is as follows:
Phase | Exploration Program | Cost | Status |
| | | |
Phase 1 | Prospecting, assay and evaluation of information | $6,000 | Expected to be completed by June 2008, (dependent on geologist schedule). |
Phase II | Localized soil surveys, trenching and sampling zones identified in historical information & Phase 1 | $15,000 | Expected to be completed by September 2008 (subject to consulting geologist's schedule). |
Phase III | Test Diamond drilling outlined by Phase 1 and 2 programs. | $130,000 | Planned for spring 2009(Depending on the results of Phase 2, consulting geologist's schedule.) |
Estimated Cost | | $151,000 | |
We plan to commence Phase I of the exploration program on the claim in June 2008. We expect this phase to take 30 days to complete and an additional month for the consulting geologist to receive the results of the assay lab and prepare his report.
Following Phase I of the exploration program, if it proves successful in identifying mineral deposits, we intend to proceed with the Phase II program in August 2008. The estimated cost of the Phase II program is $15,000 and will take approximately 45 days to complete and an additional two months for the consulting geologist to receive the results from the assay lab and prepare his report.
Following Phase II of the exploration program, if it proves successful in identifying mineral deposits, we intend to proceed with Phase III of our exploration program subject to raising the funds. The estimated cost of this program is $130,000 and will take approximately 4 to 5 weeks to complete and an additional two months for the consulting geologist to receive the results from the assay lab and prepare his report.
The above program costs are management's estimates based upon the recommendations of the professional consulting geologist's report and the actual project costs may exceed our estimates. To date, we have not commenced exploration.
Edward Kruchkowski, P. Geo, the consulting geologist who prepared the geology report on our claim, will be retained for our planned exploration programs. We will however, require additional funding to proceed with Phase III and any subsequent work on the claim, we have no current plans on how to raise the additional funding. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funds to proceed with any work after the first two phases of the exploration program.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Since inception, we have had no changes in or disagreements with our accountants. Our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2008 have been included in this Prospectus in reliance upon Moore and Associates, Chartered, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, as experts in accounting and auditing.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
There is no historical financial information about us on which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage company and have not generated revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be successful in our business operations. Our business is subject to risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise, including limited capital resources, possible delays in the exploration of our property, and possible cost overruns due to increases in the cost of services.
To become profitable and competitive, we must conduct the exploration of our properties before we start into production of any minerals we may find. Following the completion of Phase I and II we will be seeking funds from convertible loans and private placements of common stock to provide the capital required additional ongoing exploration program. We have no assurance that future financing will materialize. If that financing is not available to use for the third phase of our exploration program we may be unable to continue.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make a wide variety of estimates and assumptions that affect: (1) the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and (2) the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods covered by the financial statements. Our management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables and assumptions affecting the future resolution of the uncertainties increases, these judgments become even more subjective and complex. We have identified certain accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and several of those critical accounting policies are as follows:
Marketable Securities.Marketable securities may consist of shares, bonds and other negotiable instruments. Shares will be accounted for as securities held-for-sale in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Marketable securities will be stated at fair value based on market quotes. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ deficit in our consolidated balance sheet.
Property and Equipment.Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the respective estimated useful lives of the assets.
Mine development costs are capitalized after proven and probable reserves have been identified. Amortization of mine development costs will be calculated using the units-of-production method over the expected life of the operation based on the estimated proven and probable reserves. As February 29,2008 the Company had no proven or probable reserves.
Property Acquisition and Deferred Mineral Property Development Costs. Mineral property acquisition and deferred mineral property development costs are recorded at cost and will be capitalized once determination has been made that a mineral property has proven or probable reserves that can be produced profitably. On the commencement of profitable commercial production, depletion of each mineral property acquisition and associated deferred property development costs will be computed on the units of production basis using estimated proven and probable reserves.
Exploration Properties. Mineral exploration expenditures are expensed as incurred. Property acquisition costs relating to exploration properties are also expensed until the economic viability of the project is determined and proven and probable reserves quantified. Costs associated with economically viable projects are depreciated and amortized in accordance with the policies described above.
Stripping Costs.On March 30, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratified the consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 04-06 that stripping costs incurred during the production phase of a mine are variable costs that should be included in the costs of the inventory produced during the period that the stripping costs are incurred. The Company will utilize this accounting policy for stripping costs incurred in its mining operations where applicable.
Closure, Reclamation and Remediation Costs.Current laws and regulations require certain closure, reclamation and remediation work to be done on mineral properties as a result of exploration, development and operating activities. The Company will periodically reviews the activities performed on its mineral properties and makes estimates of closure, reclamation and remediation work that will need to be performed as required by those laws and regulations and makes estimates of amounts that are expected to be incurred when the closure, reclamation and remediation work is expected to be performed. Future closure, reclamation and environmental related expenditures are difficult to estimate in many circumstances due to the early stages of investigation, uncertainties associated with defining the nature and extent of environmental contamination, the uncertainties relating to specific reclamation and remediation methods and costs, application and changing of environmental
laws, regulations and interpretation by regulatory authorities and the possible participation of other potentially responsible parties.
Estimated costs associated with closure, reclamation and environmental reclamation the Company’s properties will be reflected in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including the adoption of SFAS 143,Accountingfor Asset Retirement Obligations, which the Company adopted.
Property Evaluations and Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company will review and evaluate the carrying amounts of its mining properties and related buildings and equipment, and other long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Estimated future net cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, from a property or asset will be calculated using estimated recoverable minerals (considering current proven and probable reserves and mineralization expected to be classified as reserves where applicable); estimated future mineral price realization (considering historical and current prices, price trends and related factors); and operating, capital and reclamation costs. Reduction in the carrying value of property, plant and equipment, or other long-lived assets, with a corresponding charge to earnings, are recorded to the extent that the estimated future net cash flows are less than the carrying value.
Estimates of future cash flows are subject to risks and uncertainties. It is reasonably possible that changes in circumstances could occur which may affect the recoverability of the Company’s properties and long-lived assets.
Revenue Recognition.The company has had no revenues to date. It is the Company’s policy that revenues will be recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." Under SAB 104, product revenues (or service revenues) are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or service has been performed), the sales price is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Stock-Based Compensation and Equity Transactions.We account for stock-based compensation pursuant to SFAS No. 123R,Share-Based Payment, an amendment of FASB Statements 123 and 95, which requires us to measure the compensation cost of stock options and other stock-based awards to employees and directors at fair value at the grant date and recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest.
Except for transactions with employees and directors that are within the scope of SFAS 123R, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Additionally, in accordance with EITF 96-18, the Company has determined that the dates used to value the transaction are either: (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counter party to earn the equity instruments is established; or (2) the date at which the counter party’s performance is complete.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. This statement replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity (the acquirer) obtains control of one or more businesses (the acquiree), including those sometimes referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations achieved without the transfer of consideration. This statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financials statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, or our fiscal year
beginning January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We currently are unable to determine what impact the future application of this pronouncement may have on our financial statements.
The FASB has issued Financial Interpretation No. 48,Accounting forUncertainty in Income Taxes– An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement standard for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option forFinancial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASBStatement No. 115. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115Accounting for CertainInvestments in Debt and Equity Securitiesapplies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Overview
We are an exploration stage Company with no revenues and a limited operating history. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion for the Company, which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The source of information contained in this discussion is our geology report that has been included as an Exhibit to this prospectus. There is the likelihood of our mineral claim containing little or no economic molybdenum reserves and there is a little chance that there are even gold, copper and other minerals. The Strohn Creek Claim, (the only claim currently in the Company's portfolio), consists of 2 mineral claims, which have been superficially prospected, sampled and staked. There is the possibility that the Strohn Creek Claim does not contain any reserves and funds that we spend on exploring the property will be lost. Even if we complete our current exploration program and are successful in identifying a mineral deposit we will be required to expend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit or reserve.
In this Prospectus a combination of Imperial and metric measures are used with respect to mineral properties located in Canada. Conversion rates from Imperial measure to metric and from metric to Imperial are provided below:
Imperial Measure | Metric Unit | Metric Measure | Imperial Unit |
| | | |
2.47 Acres | 1 Hectare | 0.4047 Hectares | 1 Acre |
3.28 Feet | 1 Metre | 0.3048 Metres | 1 Foot |
0.62 Miles | 1 Kilometre | 1.609 Kilometres | 1 Mile |
0.032 Ounces (Troy) | 1 Gram | 31.1 Grams | 1 Ounce (Troy) |
1.102 Tons (Short) | 1 Tonne | 0.907 Tonnes | 1 Ton |
0.029 Ounces (Troy)/Ton | 1 Gram/ Tonne | 34.28 Grams/Tonne | 1 Ounce (Troy) Ton |
Sources of Available Land for Mining and Exploration
There are at least five sources of land available for exploration, development and mining: public lands, private fee lands, unpatented mining claims, patented mining claims, and tribal lands. The primary sources for acquisition of these lands are the United States government, through the Bureau of Land Management and the United States Forest Service, state and Canadian Provincial governments, tribal governments, and individuals or entities who currently hold title to or lease government and private lands.
There are numerous levels of government regulation associated with the activities of exploration and mining companies. Permits, which we are maintaining and amending include “Notice of Intent” to explore, “Plan of Operations” to explore, “Plan of Operations” to mine, “Reclamation Permit”, “Air Quality Permit”, “Water Quality Permit”, “Industrial Artificial Pond Permit”, and several other health and safety permits. These permits are subject to amendment or renewal during our operations. Although there is no guarantee that the regulatory agencies will timely approve, if at all, the necessary permits for our current operations or other anticipated operations, currently we have no reason to believe that necessary permits will not be issued in due course. The total cost and effects on our operations of the permitting and bonding process cannot be estimated at this time. The cost will vary for each project when initiated and could be material.
The United States Federal government owns public lands that are administered by the Bureau of Land Management or the United States Forest Service. Ownership of the subsurface mineral estate can be acquired by staking a twenty (20) acre mining claim granted under the General Mining Law of 1872, as amended (the “General Mining Law”). The United States Federal government still owns the surface estate even though the subsurface can be controlled with a right to extract through claim staking. Private fee lands are lands that are controlled by fee-simple title by private individuals or corporations. These lands can be controlled for mining and exploration activities by either leasing or purchasing the surface and subsurface rights from the private owner. Unpatented mining claims located on public land owned by another entity can be controlled by leasing or purchasing the claims outright from the owners. Patented mining claims are claims that were staked under the General Mining Law, and through application and approval the owners were granted full private ownership of the surface and subsurface estate by the Federal government. These lands can be acquired for exploration and mining through lease or purchase from the owners. Tribal lands are those lands that are under control by sovereign Native American tribes. Areas that show promise for exploration and mining can be leased or joint ventured with the tribe controlling the land.
Competition And Mineral Prices
The mining industry has historically been intensely competitive. However, we believe that over the last few years the imposition of numerous regulatory requirements and claim rental policies by the United States Government, and the exodus of some major gold corporations from the U.S. to pursue mineral exploration in foreign countries, has allowed large areas of very prospective mineralized ground to become open for location and acquisition. The increasing price of gold since 2005 has led to a number of companies to begin once again to
aggressively acquire claims and properties. In addition, we believe that the rise of the price of molybdenum in the past year has created opportunities for profitable mining operations for this mineral.
Capital Equipment
The Company at this time does not have any plans of purchasing or leasing capital equipment. Most if not all work to be done on the Strohn Creek will be done by subcontract to companies experienced in these activities.
Mining Properties And Projects
Our primary mining property asset is the Strohn Creek molybdenum project operated by Resource Group Inc., in which we currently own a 100% member interest. The Strohn Creek molybdenum project represents all of Resource Group’s assets.
Strohn Creek Project, Stewart, British Columbia Canada
The Strohn Creek property is located approximately 35 kilometres east of Stewart, British Columbia. The property is comprised of 2 claims covering approximately 613.43 hectares. The claim extends from just west of the confluence of Surprise Creek and Strohn Creek for approximately 2 kilometres east west and 3 kilometres north south. The area is underlain by altered Lower Jurassic-age Hazelton pyroclastic volcanics that are uncomfortably overlain by Middle Jurassic Salmon River Formation sediments with both intruded by Tertiary plutons.

Figure 1.Map showing the location of the Strohn Creek property discussed in this Prospectus.
There are no known ore bodies on the property.
The claims lie within a belt of Jurassic volcanic rocks, which extend from the Kitsault area, south of Stewart, north to the Stikine River area. This belt is host to numerous gold and gold-silver deposits in a variety of geological settings including past producers Snip, Granduc and Premier-Big Missouri mines as well as the presently producing Eskay Creek deposit. Reserves have been reported from a number of other properties including the Silver Coin, Red Mountain, Brucejack Lake – Suphurets area and Georgia River. In addition, numerous gold-silver showings have been reported by exploration companies along this belt of rocks. Previous past silver production has been well documented from the Kitsault area as well as Mount Rainey, near Stewart. At least three porphyry type systems containing Cu-Mo, Cu-Mo-Au and Cu-Au mineralization are also present within the region.
Property Geology
Two types of mineralization have been located on the property.
The first type of mineralization consists of fracture filled molybdenite-pyrite mineralization located in dykes associated with the Strohn Creek pluton emplaced in Salmon River argillites as well as molybdenite in quartz veins (Fitzgerald showing) within the pluton itself.
The second type of mineralization consists of float rocks consisting of pyritic, sericite altered andesites with quartz stockworks that contain high gold values. These rocks are located within a creek bed draining the north contact area of the Strohn Creek pluton. During April 2005, geochemical sampling on outcrop and stream sampling in the project area was completed. A total of 5 outcrop samples and 4 silt samples were collected. Select outcrop samples of mineralized dyke material yielded 0.18 to 0.23 % Mo and silt sampling indicated one anomalous Mo value (54 ppm) in a stream draining the immediate area above the mineralized dykes. Sampling in November 2007 yielded 0.02 to 0.045 % Mo in fractured dykes with minor molybdenite and pyrite along fractures as well as weak values in hornfelsed rocks adjacent to the dykes. Several float samples of pyritic, sericitic rocks collected in 2007 along a creek bed assayed from 13.03 to 20.67 g/t Au, 63.2 to 93.3 g/t Ag, 0.45 to 1.0 % Pb and 0.74 to 0.85% Zn with elevated arsenic, antimony and copper values. These samples indicate a pithermal gold occurrence in the area, probably the north contact area of the Strohn Creek pluton.
Competition
We do not compete directly with anyone for the exploration or removal of minerals from our property as we hold all interest and rights to the claim. Readily available commodities markets exist in the U.S. and around the world for the sale of gold, silver and other minerals. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any gold, silver or other minerals that we are able to recover. We will be subject to competition and unforeseen limited sources and supplies in the industry in the event spot shortages arise for supplies such as dynamite, and certain equipment such as bulldozers and excavators that we will need to conduct exploration. We have not yet attempted to locate or negotiate with any suppliers of products, equipment or services and will not do so until funds are received from this offering. If we are unsuccessful in securing the products, equipment and services we need we may have to suspend our exploration plans until we are able to do so.
Bankruptcy Or Similar Proceedings
There has been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding pertaining to the Company.
Reorganizations, Purchase Or Sale Of Assets
There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not done in the ordinary course of business pertaining to the Company.
Compliance With Government Regulation
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in the United States generally, and in the Province of British Columbia, Canada specifically.
Patents, Trademarks, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements, Or Labor Contracts
We have no current plans for any registrations such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements or labor contracts. We will assess the need for any copyright, trademark or patent applications on an ongoing basis.

The terms of these stock issuances were as fair to the Company, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, as could have been made with an unaffiliated third party. In making this determination they relied upon the fact that the Company had no assets and therefore no value upon which a price per share could be determined. The sale of 3,000,000 shares were valued at $0.001 (par value) and purchased for $3,000 in cash.
The officers currently devote an immaterial amount of time to manage the affairs of the Company. James P. Geiskopf, the president and a director of the Company, currently devotes approximately 4 to 6 hours per week providing management services to us. Ken Greenlaw, the secretary/ treasurer and a director of the Company, currently devotes approximately 6 to 10 hours per month to the Company. They have agreed to work with no cash remuneration until such time as the Company receives sufficient revenues necessary to provide management salaries. At this time, management cannot accurately estimate when sufficient revenues will occur to implement this compensation, or what the amount of the compensation will be.
There are no annuity, pension or retirement benefits proposed to be paid to officers, directors or employees in the event of retirement at normal retirement date pursuant to any presently existing plan provided or contributed to by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, if any.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
We currently do not have any Employment Agreements.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Relationships and Related Party Transactions
None.
Corporate Governance:
a. Code of Ethics
We have not yet adopted a Code of Ethics
b. Director Independence
At this time the Company does not have a policy that it’s directors or a majority be independent of management as the Company has at this time only two directors. It is the intention of the Company to implement a policy that a majority of the Board member be independent of the Company’s management as the member’s of the board of director’s increases. A Director is considered independent if the Board affirmatively determines that the Director (or an immediate family member) does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with the Company or its affiliates or any member of senior management of the Company or his or her affiliates. The term “affiliate” means any corporation or other entity that controls, is controlled by, or under common control with the Company, evidenced by the power to elect a majority of the Board of Directors or comparable governing body of such entity. The term “immediate family member” means spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers- and fathers-in-law, sons- and daughters-in law, brothers- and sisters-in-laws and anyone (other than domestic employees) sharing the Director’s home.
c. Committees
We do not have audit, nominating, or compensation committees or committees performing similar functions nor a written nominating, compensation of audit committee charter. Our Board of Directors as a whole decides such
matters, including those that would be performed by a standing nominating committee. Our Board of Directors has not adopted any processes or procedures for considering executive and director compensation. We have not yet adopted an audit, compensation, or nominating committees because we have not sufficiently developed our operations and have generated no revenues since we changed our business model to exploration activities.
Additionally, we do not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to our Board of Directors nor do we have any process or procedure for evaluating such nominees.
d. Shareholder Communications
Our Board of Directors does not have any defined policy or procedure requirements for our stockholders to send communications to our Board of Directors, including submission of recommendations for nominating directors. We have not yet adopted a process for our security holders to communicate with our Board of Directors because we have not sufficiently developed our operations and corporate governance structure.
e. Board of Director Meetings.
During fiscal year 2007, we had one Board of Directors meetings that were held on April 4, 2007 (the Organizational meeting). We have two directors at that time, both of which attended this meeting. A number of Consent Meetings have been held regarding specific actions to be taken, wherein the Directors have met by teleconference.
f. Annual Shareholder Meetings
We have not yet held a annual shareholders meeting. This will be scheduled in the six months following our February 29, 2008 year-end
g. Legal Matters
None of our officers, directors, or persons nominated for such position, has been involved in legal proceedings that would be material to an evaluation of their ability or integrity, including:
- involvement in any bankruptcy;

- being subject to a pending criminal proceeding;
- being subject to any order or judgment, decree permanently or temporarily enjoining barring, suspending or otherwise limiting their involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and
- being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Under the Delaware Corporate Business Act (“DCBA”), our directors will have no personal liability to us or our stockholders for damages incurred as the result of any act or failure to act in the capacity as a director or officer. This provision does not apply to the directors’ (i) for a breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders or members; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct
or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; or (iv) for the payment of a dividend by a director when the Company is insolvent.
The DCBA grants corporations the right and in certain circumstances mandates corporations to indemnify directors, officers, employees and agents in accordance with applicable law. Our Bylaws further authorize us, pursuant to Delaware law, to indemnify our directors and officers in cases where our officer or director acted in good faith and reasonably believed the conduct was in the best interests of the Company, received no improper personal benefit, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
