Shares of Common Stock
1,000,000 Minimum - 2,000,000 Maximum
Before this offering, there has been no public market for the common stock. In the event that we sell at least the minimum number of shares in this offering, of which there is no assurance, we intend to have the shares of common stock quoted on the Bulletin Board operated by the Financial Regulatory Authority. There is, however, no assurance that the shares will ever be quoted on the Bulletin Board.
We are offering up to a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock in a direct public offering, without any involvement of underwriters or broker/dealers, 1,000,000 shares minimum, 2,000,000 shares maximum. The offering price is $0.05 per share. In the event that 1,000,000 shares are not sold within 270 days, all money received by us will be promptly, returned to you with interest and without deduction of any kind. The SEC staff generally defines “promptly” as a period of up to three days. We will return your funds to you in the form a cashier’s check sent Federal Express on the 271stday. If at least 1,000,000 shares are sold within 270 days, all money received by us will be retained by us and there will be no refund. Funds will be held in a separate a ccount at BMO Bank of Montreal, Hong Kong Branch, 3606 One Exchange Square, Central, Hong Kong, China, telephone + (852) 2522-4182. Sold securities are deemed securities which have been paid for with collected funds prior to expiration of 270 days. Collected funds are deemed funds that have been paid by the drawee bank. The foregoing account is not an escrow, trust or similar account. It is merely a separate interest bearing savings account under our control where we have segregated your funds. There is no escrow, trust or similar account in which your subscription will be deposited. It will only be deposited in a separate bank account under our name. Only our officers and directors will have access to the account. You will not have the right to withdraw your funds during the offering. You will only receive your funds back if we do not raise the minimum amount of the offering within 270 days. As a result, if we are sued for any reason and a judgment is rendered against us, your subscription could be seized i n a garnishment proceeding. If we file a voluntary bankruptcy petition or our creditors file an involuntary bankruptcy petition, our assets will be seized by the bankruptcy trustee, including your subscription, and used to pay our creditors. If that happens, you will lose your investment, even if we fail to raise the minimum amount in this offering. As a result, you may lose your entire investment not withstanding the purported minimum offering provisions because the funds are not held in an escrow account and are potentially subject to creditor claims.
There are no arrangements to place the funds in an escrow, trust, or similar account.
Our common stock will be sold on our behalf by Yuan Kun Deng, our sole officer and director. Mr. Deng will not receive any commissions or proceeds from the offering for selling shares on our behalf.
Investing in our common stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors” starting at page 7.

RISK FACTORS
Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock. We discuss all material risks in the risk factors.
Risks associated with EARTH DRAGON RESOURCES INC.
1.If we do not raise at least the minimum amount of this offering, we will have to suspend or cease operations.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. If we do not raise at least the minimum amount from our offering, we will have to suspend or cease operations within twelve months.
2.Our plan of operation is limited to finding an ore body. As such we have no plans for revenue generation. Accordingly, you should not expect any revenues from operations.
Our plan of operation and the funds we raise from this offering will be used for exploration of the claim to determine if there is an ore body beneath the surface. Exploration does not contemplate removal of the ore. We have no plans or funds for ore removal. Accordingly, we will not generate any revenues as a result of your investment.
3.Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost.
The probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote. In all probability the claim does not contain any reserves. Consequently, any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost which result in a loss of your investment.
-7-
4.We lack an operating history and have a loss which we expect to continue into the future. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease operations.
We were incorporated on October 23, 2007, and we have not started our proposed business operations or realized any revenues. We have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss since inception is $20,119. To achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow we are dependent upon:
* | our ability to locate a profitable mineral claim |
* | our ability to economically extract the minerals |
* | our ability to generate revenues and ultimately become profitable. |
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods. This will happen because there are expenses associated with the exploration of our mineral properties. As a result, we may not generate revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues will cause us to suspend or cease operations.
5.Because our sole officer and our director is located outside the United States of America, it may be difficult for an investor to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against him.
We do not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. In addition, our sole officer and director is a national and resident of a country other than the United States, and all of his assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for you to effect service of process or enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our sole officer or director, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of China and other jurisdictions would recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us or our sole officer and director predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof, or be competent to hear original actions b rought in China or other jurisdictions against us or our officers and directors predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.
6.Because title to the claim is held in the name of Multi Metal Mining Corp., an unrelated third party, if he transfers the claim to someone other than us, we will cease operations.
Record title to the claim upon which we intend to conduct exploration activities is not held in our name. Record title to the claim is recorded in the name of Multi Metal Mining Corp., an unrelated third party. If he transfers the claim to a third person, the third person will obtain good title and we will have nothing. If that happens we will be harmed in that we will not own any claim and we will have to cease operations.
-8-
7.Because we are small and do not have much capital, we may have to limit our exploration activity which may result in a loss of your investment.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit our exploration activity. As such we may not be able to complete an exploration program that is as thorough as we would like. Consequently, an existing ore body may go undiscovered. Without an ore body, we cannot generate revenues and you will lose your investment.
8.Because our officers and directors have other outside business activities and each will only be devoting 25% of his time or approximately ten hours per week to our activities, our activities may be sporadic which may result in periodic interruptions or suspensions of exploration.
Because our sole officer and director has other outside business activities and will be only be devoting 25% of his time or ten hours each per week to our activities, our activities may be sporadic and occur at times which are convenient to him. As a result, exploration of the claim may be periodically interrupted or suspended.
9.While our sole officer and director has agreed to advance funds to us as needed until the public offering is completed or failed, the same is unenforceable as a matter of law.
Yuan Kun Deng, our sole officer and director has agreed to advance funds as needed until the public offering is completed or failed and has agreed to pay the cost of reclamation of the claim should mineralized material not be found thereon. There is one agreement evidencing both events. The foregoing agreement is oral, there is nothing in writing to evidence the same. While Mr. Deng has agreed to advance the funds, the agreement is unenforceable as a matter of law, since there is no consideration for the same. Accordingly, we will have no right of action against Mr. Deng should he not advance the funds we need until the public offering is completed or failed or Mr. Deng does not advance the cost of reclamation of the claim should mineralized material not be found thereon.
Risks associated with this offering:
10.Because there is no escrow, trust or similar account, your subscription could be seized by creditors or by a trustee in bankruptcy. If that occurs you will lose your investment.
There is no escrow, trust or similar account in which your subscription will be deposited. It will only be deposited in a separate bank account under our name. Only our sole officer and director will have access to the account. You will not have the right to withdraw your funds during the offering. You will only receive your funds back if we do not raise the minimum amount of the offering within 270 days. As a result, if we are sued for any reason and a judgment is rendered against us, your subscription could be seized in a garnishment proceeding. If we file a voluntary bankruptcy petition or our creditors file an involuntary bankruptcy petition, our assets will be seized by the bankruptcy trustee, including your subscription, and used to pay our creditors. If that happens, you will lose your investment, even if we fail to raise the minimum amount in this offering.
-9-
11.Because our officers and directors are risking a small amount of capital and claim, while you, on the other hand, are risking up to $100,000, if we fail, you will absorb most of our loss.
Our officers and directors will receive a substantial benefit from your investment. Our sole officer and director, Mr. Deng, invested $20,000, paid expenses and made a loan to us, all of which totaled $1,426. You, on the other hand, will be providing all of the cash for our operations. As a result, if we cease operations for any reason, you will lose your investment while our officer and director, Mr. Deng will lose only $21,426.
12.Because there is no public trading market for our common stock, you may not be able to resell your stock, and as a result, your investment is illiquid.
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock. Therefore there is no central place, such as stock exchange or electronic trading system, to resell your shares. If you want to resell your shares, you will have to locate a buyer and negotiate your own sale. Your investment is illiquid and there is no assurance that you will be able to resell your shares.
13.Because we may issue additional shares of common stock, your investment could be subject to substantial dilution.
We anticipate that any additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. In the future, if we sell more common stock, your investment could be subject to dilution. Dilution is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional shares are sold by us.
14.Because our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.
Our shares as penny stocks are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell the Company’s securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing of monthly account statements. For sales of our securities, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from its customer a written agreement prior to making a sale. The imposition of these additional sales practices could adversely affect your ability to dispose of our stock.

Exploration expenditures consist of fees to for consulting services, the cost of trenching, core drilling, and cost of analyzing core samples. We are not going to spend any money or implement our exploration program until this offering is completed. We have not begun exploration. Consulting fees will not be more than $5,000. We have not selected or identified a consultant and will not do so until we have completed this offering. Our consultant, in consultation with our officers, will supervise and contract for our exploration operations through independent contractors. Trenching will conducted in order to accumulate samples from the surface area. Core drilling will cost $20.00 per foot. We will drill as many holes as proceeds from the offering allow. We estimate drilling no holes if we raise only the minimum amount, three holds if we raise $75,000, and fifteen holes if we raise the maximum amount. We will d rill the holes to a depth of 100 feet. We estimate it will cost up to $500 to analyze the surface samples and $2,500 to analyze the core samples.
We have allocated funds for telephone service, stationary, accounting, acquisition of office equipment and office supplies as needed.
We have allocated variable amounts of money for exploration because we do not know how much will ultimately be needed. If we discover significant quantities of mineral, we will begin technical and economic feasibility studies to determine if we have reserves. Only if we determine we have reserves will we consider developing the claim.
No proceeds from the offering will be paid to officers and directors.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The price of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined in order for us to raise up to a total of $100,000 in this offering. The offering price bears no relationship whatsoever to our assets, earnings, book value or other criteria of value. Among the factors considered were:
* | our lack of operating history |
* | the proceeds to be raised by the offering |
* | the amount of capital to be contributed by purchasers in this offering in proportion to |
* | the amount of stock to be retained by our existing Stockholders, and |
* | our relative cash requirements. |
-11-
DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES
Dilution represents the difference between the offering price and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. Net tangible book value is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. Dilution arises mainly as a result of our arbitrary determination of the offering price of the shares being offered. Dilution of the value of the shares you purchase is also a result of the lower book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders.
As of August 31, 2008, the net tangible book value of our shares of common stock was a $5,608 or approximately $0.0006 per share based upon 10,000,000 shares outstanding.
If 2,000,000 Shares Are Sold:
Upon completion of this offering, in the event all of the shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 12,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $65,608 or approximately $0.0055 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.0049 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.05 per share to $0.0055 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 2,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 16.67% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which you will have made a cash investment of $100,000, or $0.05 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 83.33% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $20,000 or approximately $0.002 per share.
If 1,500,000 Shares Are Sold:
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 1,500,000 shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 11,500,000 shares to be outstanding will be $40,608 or approximately $0.0035 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.0029 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.05 per share to $0.0035 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 1,500,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 13.04% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which you will have made a cash investment of $75,000, or $0.05 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 86.96% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $20,000 or approximately $0.002 per share.
If the 1,000,000 Shares Are Sold:
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 1,000,000 shares are sold, the net tangible book value of the 11,000,000 shares to be outstanding will be $15,608, or approximately $0.0014 per share. The net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders will be increased by $0.0008 per share without any additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from $0.05 per share to $0.0014 per share.
-12-
After completion of this offering, if 1,000,000 shares are sold, you will own approximately 9.09% of the total number of shares then outstanding for which you will have made a cash investment of $50,000, or $0.05 per share. Our existing stockholders will own approximately 90.91% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for which they have made contributions of cash totaling $20,000 or approximately $0.002 per share.

If we do not receive the minimum amount of $50,000 within 270 days of the effective date of our registration statement, all funds will be promptly returned to you with interest and without a deduction of any kind. The SEC staff generally defines “promptly” as a period of up to three days. We will return your funds to you in the form a cashier’s check sent Federal Express on the 271stday. During the 270 day period, no funds will be returned to you. You will only receive a refund of your subscription if we do not raise a minimum of $50,000 within the 270 day period referred to above. There are no finders involved in our distribution. Officers, directors, affiliates or anyone involved in marketing the shares will not be allowed to purchase shares in the offering. You will not have the right to withdraw your funds during the offering. You will only have the right to have your funds returned if we do not raise the minimum amount of the offering or there would be a change in the material terms of the offering. The following are material terms that would allow you to be entitled to a refund of your money:
* | extension of the offering period beyond 270 days; |
* | change in the offering price; |
* | change in the minimum sales requirement; |
-14-
* | change to allow sales to affiliates in order to meet the minimum sales requirement; |
* | change in the amount of proceeds necessary to release the proceeds held in the separate bank account |
We will sell the shares in this offering through Yuan Kun Deng, our sole officer and director. He will receive no commission from the sale of any shares. He will not register as a broker/dealer under section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1. Rule 3a4-1 sets forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate in the offering of the issuer’s securities and not be deemed to be a broker/dealer. The conditions are that:
1. The person is not statutorily disqualified, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Act, at the time of his participation; and,
2. The person is not compensated in connection with his participation by the payment of commissions or other remuneration based either directly or indirectly on transactions in securities;
3. The person is not at the time of their participation, an associated person of a broker/dealer; and,
4. The person meets the conditions of Paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act, in that he (A) primarily performs, or is intended primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the issuer otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and (B) is not a broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding twelve (12) months; and (C) do not participate in selling and offering of securities for any issuer more than once every twelve (12) months other than in reliance on Paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii).
Mr. Deng is not statutorily disqualified, is not being compensated, and is not associated with a broker/dealer. He is and will continue to be our sole officer and director at the end of the offering and has not been during the last twelve months and is currently not a broker/dealer or associated with a broker/dealer. He will not participate in selling and offering securities for any issuer more than once every twelve months.
Only after our registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, do we intend to advertise, through tombstones, and hold investment meetings in various states where the offering will be registered. We will not utilize the Internet to advertise our offering. Mr. Deng will also distribute the prospectus to potential investors at the meetings, to business associates and to his friends and relatives who are interested in us and a possible investment in the offering. No shares purchased in this offering will be subject to any kind of lock-up agreement.
Management and affiliates thereof will not purchase shares in this offering to reach the minimum.
We intend to sell our shares in the states of Wyoming and Colorado, or outside the United States.

Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act - Penny Stock Disclosure
Our shares are “penny stocks” covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 promulgated thereunder. They imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to resell your shares.
Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as “bid” and “offer” quotes, a dealers “spread” and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers rights and remedies in causes of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the FINRA’s toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated p ersons. While Section 15g and Rules 15g-1 through 15g-6 apply to broker/dealers, they do not apply to us.
Rule 15g-1 exempts a number of specific transactions from the scope of the penny stock rules.
Rule 15g-2 declares unlawful broker/dealer transactions in penny stocks unless the broker/dealer has first provided to the customer a standardized disclosure document.
Rule 15g-3 provides that it is unlawful for a broker/dealer to engage in a penny stock transaction unless the broker/dealer first discloses and subsequently confirms to the customer current quotation prices or similar market information concerning the penny stock in question.
Rule 15g-4 prohibits broker/dealers from completing penny stock transactions for a customer unless the broker/dealer first discloses to the customer the amount of compensation or other remuneration received as a result of the penny stock transaction.
Rule 15g-5 requires that a broker/dealer executing a penny stock transaction, other than one exempt under Rule 15g-1, disclose to its customer, at the time of or prior to the transaction, information about the sales persons compensation.
Rule 15g-6 requires broker/dealers selling penny stocks to provide their customers with monthly account statements.
Again, the foregoing rules apply to broker/dealers. They do not apply to us in any manner whatsoever. Again, the application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares. The application of the penny stock rules may affect your ability to resell your shares because many brokers are unwilling to buy, sell or trade penny stocks as a result of the additional sales practices imposed upon them which are described in this section.

BUSINESS
General
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 23, 2007. We are an exploration stage corporation. An exploration stage corporation is one engaged in the search from mineral deposits or reserves which are not in either the development or production stage. We intend to conduct exploration activities on one claim. We maintain our statutory registered agent’s office at The Corporation Trust Company of Nevada, 6100 Neil Road, Suite 500, Reno, Nevada 89511 and our business office is located at 12F, World Trade Centre, No. 25 Tongxing Street, Zhongshan District, Dalian, China 116001. This is our mailing address as well. Our telephone number is 011-86-130-798-88886. This is Mr. Deng’s office. We use this space on a rent free basis.
There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on the claim and further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic feasibility is determined.
We have no plans to change our business activities or to combine with another business, and are not aware of any events or circumstances that might cause our plans to change.
The fee simple title to the property is owned by the United States of America. Mineral Property Services staked the land and obtained a claim from the BLM. The claim is referred to as “Mountain Queen Lode Claim.” We have the right to enter on the claim with our employees, representatives and agents, and to prospect, explore, test, develop, work and mine the claim. We are not the registered owner of the Mountain Queen Lode Claim. The registered owner of the Mountain Queen Lode Claim is Multi Metal Mining Corp. who holds the claim in trust for us.
The claim is unencumbered and there are no competitive conditions which affect the claim. Further, there is no insurance covering the claim and we believe that no insurance is necessary since the claim is unimproved and contains no buildings or improvements.
To date we have not performed any work on the claim. We are presently in the exploration stage and we cannot guarantee that a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists in the claim until further exploration is done and a comprehensive evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility.
Claim
The Mountain Queen Lode Claim is comprised of one located claim with an area of 20 acres located in the Goodsprings (Yellow Pine) Mining District situated within the southwestern corner of the State of Nevada, U.S.A. The Mountain Queen Lode Claim covers some former exploratory workings on an indicated mineral showing. We are not the registered owner of the Mountain Queen Lode Claim. The registered owner of the Mountain Queen Lode Claim is Multi Metal Mining Corp. who holds the claim in trust for us.

Location and Access
The Mountain Queen Lode Claim was located on November 26, 2007 and filed on November 30, 2007 in the Clark County recorder’s office in Las Vegas as No. 3366, File 080, Page 0087 in the official records book No. Z0071130.
The Mountain Queen Lode Claim is located within Section 33, Township 58 East, Range 25 South, in the Yellow Pine Mining District of Clark County, Nevada.
Access from Las Vegas, Nevada to the Mountain Queen Claim is southward via Interstate Highway 15 for approximately 31 miles to within five miles past the town of Jean, Nevada, thence westerly for seven miles to the Mountain Queen Lode Claim which is north of the road.
History
There is no reported production from the Mountain Queen Lode Claim, however prospect pits within the confines of the Mountain Queen Lode Claim indicates former exploration of mineral zones.
Physiography, Climate, Vegetation and Water
The Mountain Queen Lode Claim is situated at the southern end of the Sheep Mountain Range, a north-south trending range of mountains with peaks reaching an elevation of 4,184 feet. The claim covers the southwesterly facing slopes of a northerly trending ridge including the valley therefrom. The area is of a typically desert climate with relatively high temperatures and low precipitation. Vegetation consists mainly of desert shrubs and cactus. Sources of water would be available from valley wells.
Regional Geology
In the Yellow Pine district, the Spring Mountain Range in the west, and the Sheep Mountain Range in the east consist mainly of Paleozoic sediments which have undergone intense folding accompanied by faulting. A series of Carboniferous sediments consist largely of siliceous limestones and include strata of pure crystalline limestone and dolomite with occasional intercalated beds of fine grained sandstone. These strata have a general west to southwest dip of from 15 to 45 degrees which is occasionally disturbed by local folds. Igneous rocks are scarce and are represented chiefly by quartz-monzonite porphyry dikes and sills. The quartz-monzonite porphyry is intruded into these strata and is of post-Jurassic age, perhaps Tertiary.
Claim Geology
The Mountain Queen Lode Claim is indicated to be underlain by the Yellowstone Limestone Member of the Monte Cristo Limestone Formation in close proximity to a thrust fault.
Claim Mineralization
The mineralization on the Mountain Queen Lode Claim is reported to be a dolomitized breccia near the base of the Yellowpine Limestone Member. The mineralization is possibly of hydrozincite, calamine, and galena in addition to its oxidation products.

Supplies
Supplies and manpower are readily available for exploration of the claim.
Other
Other than our interest in the claim, we own no other property.
Our Proposed Exploration Program
Working with a $10,000 to $60,000 budget, we plan on doing trenching work with a back-hoe to expose bedrock. Metal detecting, soil and rock chip sampling, and geological mapping will be done once the bedrock is exposed. The object of this work will be to determine if there is an economically recoverable zinc resource on this claim. All sample locations will be marked and mapped. The initial phase of work will provide enough information to allow the company to decide whether or not to proceed to the next phase of exploration.
It will take us two to three weeks to complete the trenching and collect the samples. Samples will be shipped to American Assay Labs of Reno Nevada, certified assayers. It will take another two to three weeks to obtain results from the lab. We will plot all sample locations on enlarged topo maps and provide GPS with these locations. Thereafter we will begin core drilling.
Funds will be used exclusively for trenching, grid installation, metal detection, sample collecting, supplies, shipping, lab costs, meals, motels, truck fuel and labor.
We must conduct exploration to determine what amount of minerals, if any, exist on our properties and if any minerals which are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed.
The claim is undeveloped raw land. Exploration and surveying has not been initiated and will not be completed until we raise additional money. That is because we do not have money to complete exploration.
Before minerals retrieval can begin, we must explore for and find mineralized material. After that has occurred we have to determine if it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material. Economically feasible means that the costs associated with the removal of the mineralized material will not exceed the price at which we can sell the mineralized material. We can't predict what that will be until we find mineralized material.
We do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on any of the claim.
The costs of our work program were provided by Professional Engineer and Geologist, Laurence Sookochoff. We have no relationship with Mr. Sookochoff. We will begin exploration activity in the spring of 2009.
We cannot provide you with a more detailed discussion of how our exploration program will work and what we expect will be our likelihood of success. That is because we have a piece of raw land and we intend to look for a zinc ore body. We may or may not find an ore body. We have the right to prospect, explore, test, develop, work and mine the claim. We hope we do, but it is impossible to predict the likelihood of such an event. In addition, the nature and direction of the exploration may change depending upon initial results.
-22-
We do not have any plan to take our company to revenue generation. That is because we have not found economic mineralization yet and it is impossible to project revenue generation from nothing.
The following is an outline of the estimated maximum costs of this first phase of exploration of this claim:
Consulting Services | $ | 5,000 |
Survey | $ | 7,500 |
Trenching & Sampling | $ | 10,500 |
Core Drilling | $ | 29,350 |
Analyzing Samples | $ | 3,000 |
Competitive Factors
The zinc mining industry is fragmented, that is there are many, many zinc prospectors and producers, small and large. We do not compete with anyone. That is because there is no competition for the exploration or removal of minerals from the claim. We will either find zinc on the claim or not. If we do not, we will cease or suspend operations. We are one of the smallest exploration companies in existence. We are an infinitely small participant in the zinc mining market. Readily available zinc markets exist in the United States and around the world for the sale of zinc. Therefore, we will be able to sell any zinc that we are able to recover.
Rental Fee Requirement
The Federal government's Continuing Act of 2002 extends the requirement of rental or maintenance fees in place of assessment work for filing and holding mining claims with the BLM. All claimants must pay a yearly maintenance fee of $125 per claim for all or part of the mining claim assessment year. The fee must be paid at the State Office of the Bureau of Land Management by August 31, of each year. We have paid this fee through 2009. The assessment year ends on noon of September 1 of each year. The initial maintenance fee is paid at the time the Notice of Location is filed with the BLM and covers the remainder of the assessment year in which the claim was located. There are no exemptions from the initial fee. Some claim holders may qualify for a Small Miner Exemption waiver of the maintenance fee for assessment years after the year in which the claim was located. We do not qualify for a Small Miner Exemptio n. The following sets forth the BLM fee schedule:
Fee Schedule (per claim) | ||
Location Fee | $ | 30.00 |
Maintenance Fee | $ | 125.00 |
Service Charges | $ | 10.00 |
Transfer Fee | $ | 5.00 |
Proof of Labor | $ | 5.00 |
Notice of Intent to Hold | $ | 5.00 |
Transfer of Interest | $ | 5.00 |
Amendment | $ | 5.00 |
Petition for Deferment of Assessment Work | $ | 25.00 |
Notice of Intent to Locate on Stock Raising Homestead land | $ | 25.00 |
-23-
The BLM regulations provide for three types of operations on public lands: 1. Casual Use level, 2. Notice level and 3. Plan of Operation level.
1. Casual Use means activities ordinarily resulting in no or negligible disturbance of the public lands or resources. Casual Use operations involve simple prospecting with hand tools such as picks, shovels, and metal detectors. Small-scale mining devices such as dry washers having engines with less than 10 brake-horsepower are allowed, provided they are fed using only hand tools. Casual Use level operations are not required to file an application to conduct activities or post a financial guarantee.
2. Notice level operations include only exploration activities in which five or less acres of disturbance are proposed. Presently, all Notice Level operations require a written notice and must be bonded for all activities other than reclamation.
3. Plans of Operation activities include all mining and processing (regardless of the size of the proposed disturbance), plus all other activities exceeding five acres of proposed public land disturbance.
Operators are encouraged to conduct a thorough inventory of the claim to determine the full extent of any existing disturbance and to meet with field office personnel at the site before developing an estimate. The inventory should include photographs taken "before" and "after" any mining activity.
If an operator constructs access or uses an existing access way for an operation and would object to BLM blocking, removing, or claiming that access, then the operator must post a financial guarantee that covers the reclamation of the access.
Concurrence by the BLM for occupancy is required whenever residential occupancy is proposed or when fences, gates, or signs will be used to restrict public access or when structures that could be used for shelter are placed on a claim. It is the claimant's responsibility to prepare a complete notice or plan of operators.
Mining Claims On State Land
The Nevada law authorizing location of claims on State Lands was repealed in 1998. Acquisition of mineral rights on Nevada trust land can only be accomplished by application for a prospecting permit, mineral lease, or lease of common variety materials.
We will secure all necessary permits for exploration and, if development of the claim is warranted, will file final plans of operation before we start any mining operations. We anticipate no discharge of water into active stream, creek, river, lake or any other body of water regulated by environmental law or regulation. No endangered species will be disturbed. Restoration of the disturbed land will be completed according to law. All holes, pits and shafts will be sealed upon abandonment of the property. It is difficult to estimate the cost of compliance with the environmental law since the full nature and extent of our proposed activities cannot be determined until we start our operations and know what that will involve from an environmental standpoint.
We are in compliance with all laws and will continue to comply with the laws in the future. We believe that compliance with the laws will not adversely affect our business operations.
-24-
We are responsible to provide a safe working environment, not disrupt archaeological sites, and conduct our activities to prevent unnecessary damage to the claim.
We will secure all necessary permits for exploration and, if development is warranted on the claim, will file final plans of operation before we start any mining operations. At this point, a permit from the BLM would be required. Also, we would be required to comply with the laws of the state of Nevada and federal regulations. We anticipate no discharge of water into active stream, creek, river, lake or any other body of water regulated by environmental law or regulation. No endangered species will be disturbed. Restoration of the disturbed land will be completed according to law. All holes, pits and shafts will be sealed upon abandonment of the claim. It is difficult to estimate the cost of compliance with the environmental law since the full nature and extent of our proposed activities cannot be determined until we start our operations and know what that will involve from an environmental standpoint.
Exploration stage companies have no need to discuss environmental matters, except as they relate to exploration activities. The only "cost and effect" of compliance with environmental regulations in the State of Nevada is returning the surface to its previous condition upon abandonment of the claim. We will only be using "non-intrusive" exploration techniques and will not leave any indication that a sample was taken from the area.
We have not allocated any funds for the cost of reclamation of the claim. Yuan Kun Deng, our sole officer and director has agreed to advance funds as needed until the public offering is completed or failed and has agreed to pay the cost of reclamation of the claim should mineralized material not be found thereon. There is one agreement evidencing both events. The foregoing agreement is oral, there is nothing in writing to evidence the same. While Mr. Deng has agreed to advance the funds, the agreement is unenforceable as a matter of law, since there is no consideration for the same. Accordingly, we will have no right of action against Mr. Deng should he not advance the funds we need until the public offering is completed or failed or Mr. Deng does not advance the cost of reclamation of the claim should mineralized material not be found thereon.
Subcontractors
We intend to use the services of a consultant who will supervise the subcontractors for manual labor exploration work on the claim. We have not selected the consultant as of the date of this prospectus and will not do so until we have completed this offering.
Employees and Employment Agreements
At present, we have no full-time employees. Our sole officer and director is a part-time employee devotes about 25% of his time or ten hours per week to our operation. Our sole officer and director does not have an employment agreement with us. We presently do not have pension, health, annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit plans; however, we may adopt plans in the future. There are presently no personal benefits available to our officer and director. Our sole officer and director will handle our administrative duties. Because our sole officer and director is inexperienced with exploration, he will hire qualified persons to perform our exploration activities. As of today, we have not looked for or talked to any geologists or engineers who will perform work for us in the future. We do not intend to do so until we complete this offering.

Claim Interests and Mining Claims in General
Mining claims are subject to the same risk of defective title that is common to all real property interests. Additionally, mining claims are self-initiated and self-maintained and therefore, possess some unique vulnerabilities not associated with other types of property interests. It is impossible to ascertain the validity of unpatented mining claims solely from an examination of the public real estate records and, therefore, it can be difficult or impossible to confirm that all of the requisite steps have been followed for location and maintenance of a claim. If the validity of a patented mining claim is challenged by the BLM or the U.S. Forest Service on the grounds that mineralization has not been demonstrated, the claimant has the burden of proving the present economic feasibility of mining minerals located thereon. Such a challenge might be raised when a patent application is submitted or when the gove rnment seeks to include the land in an area to be dedicated to another use.
Reclamation
We generally are required to mitigate long-term environmental impacts by stabilizing, contouring, resloping and revegetating various portions of a site after mining and mineral processing operations are completed. These reclamation efforts will be conducted in accordance with detailed plans, which must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate regulatory agencies.
Government Regulation
Mining operations and exploration activities are subject to various national, state, and local laws and regulations in the United States, which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters. We will obtain the licenses, permits or other authorizations currently required to conduct our exploration program. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable mining, health, safety and environmental statutes and the regulations passed thereunder in the Nevada and United States.
Our mineral exploration program is subject to the regulations of the Bureau of Land Management. The prospecting on the claim is provided under the existing 1872 Mining Law and all permits for exploration and testing must be obtained through the local Bureau of Land Management (BLM) office of the Department of Interior. Obtaining permits for minimal disturbance as envisioned by this exploration program will require making the appropriate application and filing of the bond to cover the reclamation of the test areas. From time to time, an archeological clearance may need to be contracted to allow the testing program to proceed.
Environment Regulations
Our activities are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations governing protection of the environment. These laws are continually changing and, in general, are becoming more restrictive. We intend to conduct business in a way that safeguards public health and the environment. We will conduct our operational compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
-26-
Changes to current state or federal laws and regulations in Nevada, where we intend to operate could in the future require additional capital expenditures and increased operating and/or reclamation costs. Although we are unable to predict what additional legislation, if any, might be proposed or enacted, additional regulatory requirements could impact the economics of our projects.
During 2008, there were no material environmental incidents or non-compliance with any applicable environmental regulations on the Mountain Queen Lode Claim
Our Office
Our office is located at 12F, World Trade Centre, No. 25 Tongxing Street, Zhongshan District, Dalian, China 116001. This is our mailing address as well. Our telephone number is 011-86-130-798-88886. This is Mr. Deng’s office. We use this space on a rent free basis.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
This section of the prospectus includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect, estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this prospectus. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or out predictions.
Plan of Operation
We are a start-up, exploration stage corporation and have not yet generated or realized any revenues from our business 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 any revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we begin removing and selling minerals. There is no assurance we will ever reach this point. Accordingly, we must raise cash from sources other than the sale of minerals found on the claim. That cash must be raised from other sources. Our only other source for cash at this time is investments by other. We must raise cash to implement our project and stay in business. If we raise the minimum amount of money in this offering, we believe it will last twelve months.
We will be conducting research in the form of exploration of the claim. Our exploration program is explained in as much detail as possible in the business section of this prospectus. We are not going to buy or sell any plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months.
Access from Las Vegas, Nevada to the Mountain Queen Claim is southward via Interstate Highway 15 for approximately 31 miles to within five miles past the town of Jean, Nevada, thence westerly for seven miles to the Mountain Queen Lode Claim which is north of the road.
-27-
Our exploration target is to find an ore body containing zinc. Our success depends upon finding mineralized material. This includes a determination by our consultant if the claim contains reserves. We have not selected a consultant as of the date of this prospectus and will not do so until our offering is successfully completed, if that occurs, of which there is no assurance. Mineralized material is a mineralized body, which has been delineated by appropriate spaced drilling or underground sampling to support sufficient tonnage and average grade of metals to justify removal. If we don’t find mineralized material or we cannot remove mineralized material, either because we do not have the money to do it or because it is not economically feasible to do it, we will cease operations and you will lose your investment.
In addition, we may not have enough money to complete our exploration of the claim. If it turns out that we have not raised enough money to complete our exploration program, we will try to raise additional funds from a second public offering, a private placement or loans. At the present time, we have not made any plans to raise additional money and there is no assurance that we would be able to raise additional money in the future. In we need additional money and can’t raise it, we will have to suspend or cease operations.
We must conduct exploration to determine what amount of minerals, if any, exist on our properties and if any minerals which are found can be economically extracted and profitably processed.
The claim is undeveloped raw land. Exploration and surveying has not been initiated and will not be initiated until we raise money in this offering. That is because we do not have money to start exploration. Once the offering is concluded, we intend to start exploration operations. To our knowledge, the claim has never been mined. The only event that has occurred is the recording of the claim by Larry Sostad in the name of Multi Metal Mining Corp. and a physical examination of the claim by Mr. Deng , our sole officer and director. The registration of the claim was included in the $6,500 paid to Larry Sostad. No additional payments were made or are due to Larry Sostad or Multi Metal Mining Corp. for their services. The claims were recorded in Multi Metal Mining Corp. in order to simplify possible reconveyances of the claims to the former record owners and to the Bureau of Land Management should mineralized m aterial not be discovered on the claim. Since Mr. Deng is a resident of the People’s Republic of China, the ability to obtain an acknowledged reconveyances (notarized) in compliance with U.S. law is very limited. To eliminate the problems related with the foregoing, we elected to have the claims recorded in Multi Metal Mining Corp.’s name. Multi Metal Mining Corp. is owned by Larry Solstad. On October 17, 2008, Multi Metal Mining Corp. executed a trust agreement acknowledging that it holds the claim in trust for us. In the event that Multi Metal Mining Corp. transfers title to a third party, the trust agreement will be used as evidence that he breached the terms thereof as well as breaching its fiduciary duty to us. Under the terms of the trust agreement, we have the responsibility to keep the claims in good standing in terms of filing and work and all other requirements. Originally, the trust agreement was executed by Larry Solstad individually, however, we discovered the claim was registe red in the name of Multi Metal Mining Corp. a corporation owned by Mr. Solstad. We determined that the trust agreement would have to be executed by the record owner of the claim, Multi Metal Mining Corp. On October 17, 2008, a new the trust agreement was executed to specifically state that Multi Metal Mining Corp. was the record holder of the claim; that it held the claim in trust for us; that the law of the situs of the claim, the law of Nevada, would govern the terms of the trust agreement; that the parties to the trust agreement consented to personal jurisdiction in the state of Nevada; that Multi Metal Mining Corp. will not transfer its interest to anyone other than us; that Multi Metal Mining Corp. will only transfer title to the claim to us; that Multi Metal Mining Corp. will not demand payment for the
-28-
claim when it transfers the same to us; that Multi Metal Mining Corp. does not have the right to sell or transfer the interest in and to the claim to anyone but us; that Multi Metal Mining Corp. does not have the right to profit from the transfer of the claim if mineralized material is found on the claim; and, that Multi Metal Mining Corp. must transfer title to the claim to us without payment of any kind, upon our demand, whether mineralized material is found on the claim or not. The trust agreement, under Nevada law, will have the effects described above with respect to the obligations and duties of Multi Metal Mining Corp.
We do not know if we will find mineralized material. We believe that activities occurring on adjoining properties are not material to our activities. The reason is that what ever is located under adjoining claim may or may not be located on our claim.
We do not claim to have any minerals or reserves whatsoever at this time on the claim.
We intend to implement an exploration program which consists of trenching and core sampling. Trenching is the process of removing samples from the surface and immediately below the surface fo the ground. Core sampling is the process of drilling holes to a depth of up to 100 feet in order to extract a samples of earth. Mr. Deng, after confirming with our consultant, will determine where drilling will occur on the claim. Mr. Deng will not receive fees for his services. The samples will be tested to determine if mineralized material is located on the claim. Based upon the tests of the core samples, we will determine if we will terminate operations; proceed with additional exploration of the claim; or develop the claim. The proceeds from this offering are designed to only fund the costs of core sampling and testing. We intend to take our core samples to analytical chemists, geochemists and registered assayers l ocated in Reno, Nevada. We have not selected any of the foregoing as of the date of this prospectus. We will only make the selections in the event we raise the minimum amount of this offering.
We do not intend to interest other companies in the claim if we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the reserves ourselves through the use of consultant. We have no plans to interest other companies in the claim if we do not find mineralized material. To pay the consultant and develop the reserves, we will have to raise additional funds through a second public offering, a private placement or through loans. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no plans to raise additional funds other than the funds being raised in this public offering. Further, there is no assurance we will be able to raise any additional funds even if we discover mineralized material and a have a defined ore body.
If we are unable to complete any phase of exploration because we don’t have enough money, we will cease operations until we raise more money. If we can’t or don’t raise more money, we will cease operations. If we cease operations, we don’t know what we will do and we don’t have any plans to do anything.
We don’t intend to hire additional employees at this time. All of the work on the claim will be conduct by unaffiliated independent contractors that we will hire. The independent contractors will be responsible for surveying, geology, engineering, exploration, and excavation. The geologists will evaluate the information derived from the exploration and excavation and the engineers will advise us on the economic feasibility of removing the mineralized material.

Milestones
The following are our milestones:
1. | 0-90 days after completion of the offering, retain our consultant to manage the exploration of the claim. Cost - up to $5,000. Time of retention 0-90 days. To carry out this milestone, we must hire a consultant. There are a number of mining consultants located in Reno, Nevada that we intend to interview. |
2. | 90-180 days after completion of the offering. - Surveying, Trenching, Sampling, and Core Drilling. We will survey the claim. Surveying will cost up to $7,500. Trenching will cost up to 10,500. Trenching will used to accumulates samples from the surface and just below the surface. |
Core drilling will cost up to $29,350. The number of holes to be drilled will be dependent upon the amount raised from the offering. Core drilling we be subcontracted to non-affiliated third parties. Time to conduct the core drilling - 90 days. The driller will be retained by our consultant. | |
3. | 180-210 days after completion of the offering. Have an independent third party analyze the samples from the core drilling. Determine if mineralized material is below the ground. If mineralized material is found, we will attempt to define the ore body. We estimate that it will cost $3,000 to analyze the core samples and will take 30 days. Delivery of the samples to the independent third party is necessary to carry out this milestone. |
The cost of the subcontractors is included in cost of the exploration services to be performed as set forth in the Use of Proceeds section and the Business section. All funds for the foregoing activities will be obtained from this public offering.
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is limited historical financial information about us upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage corporation and have not generated any 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 properties, and possible cost overruns due to price and cost increases in services.
To become profitable and competitive, we conduct into the research and exploration of the claim before we start production of any minerals we may find. We are seeking equity financing to provide for the capital required to implement our research and exploration phases. We believe that the funds raised from this offering, whether it be the minimum amount or the maximum amount, will allow us to operate for one year.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to us on acceptable terms. If financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our operations. Equity financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
-30-
Liquidity and Capital Resources
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to raise enough money through this offering to stay in business. Whatever money we do raise, will be applied to the items set forth in the Use of Proceeds section of this prospectus. If we find mineralized material and it is economically feasible to remove the mineralized material, we will attempt to raise additional money through a subsequent private placement, public offering or through loans. If we do not raise all of the money we need from this offering to complete our exploration of the claim, we will have to find alternative sources, like a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from our officers or others.
Yuan Kun Deng, our sole officer and director has agreed to advance funds as needed until the public offering is completed or failed and has agreed to pay the cost of reclamation of the claim should mineralized material not be found thereon. There is one agreement evidencing both events. The foregoing agreement is oral, there is nothing in writing to evidence the same. While Mr. Deng has agreed to advance the funds, the agreement is unenforceable as a matter of law, since there is no consideration for the same. Accordingly, we will have no right of action against Mr. Deng should he not advance the funds we need until the public offering is completed or failed or Mr. Deng does not advance the cost of reclamation of the claim should mineralized material not be found thereon. At the present time, we have not made any arrangements to raise additional cash, other than through this offering. If we need additional cash and can’t raise it we will either have to suspend operations until we do raise the cash, or cease operations entirely. Whether we raise the minimum amount or maximum amount, it will last a year. Other than as described in this paragraph, we have no other financing plans.
We have the right to explore one claim containing one twenty acre claim. We will begin our exploration plan upon completion of this offering. We expect to start exploration operations, weather permitting, within 90 days of completing this offering. As of the date of this prospectus we have yet to begun operations and therefore we have yet to generate any revenues.
Since inception, we have issued 10,000,000 shares of our common stock and received $20,000.00.
We issued 10,000,000 shares of common stock to our sole officer and director pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1993. The purchase price of the shares was $20,000.00. This was accounted for as an acquisition of shares. Yuan Kun Deng covered our initial expenses of $1,426 including incorporation, accounting and legal fees and for registering the claim, all of which was paid directly to Mr. Sostad. The amount owed to Mr. Deng is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand. Further the agreement with Mr. Deng is oral and there is no written document evidencing the agreement.
As of August 31, 2008, our total assets were $14,771 and our total liabilities were $29,282 for a working capital deficit of $14,511.

Future Sales by Existing Stockholders
10,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to Yuan Kun Deng our sole officer and director in October 2007. The 10,000,000 shares are restricted securities, as defined in Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act. Under Rule 144, the shares can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing six months after their acquisition. Rule 144 provides that a person may not sell more than 1% of the total outstanding shares in any three month period and the sales must be sold either in a brokers’ transaction or in a transaction directly with a market maker.
Shares purchased in this offering, which will be immediately resalable, and sales of all of our other shares after applicable restrictions expire, could have a depressive effect on the market price, if any, of our common stock and the shares we are offering.
A total of 10,000,000 shares of our stock are currently owned by our sole officer and director. He will likely sell a portion of his stock if the market price goes above $0.05. If he does sell his stock into the market, the sales may cause the market price of the stock to drop.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The holders of our common stock:
* | have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally available if and when declared by our board of directors; |
* | are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for distribution to holders of common stock upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs; |
-35-
* | do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions or rights; and |
* | are entitled to one non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may vote. |
Non-cumulative Voting
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors. After this offering is completed, our present stockholders will own approximately 71.43% of our outstanding shares.
Cash Dividends
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in our business operations.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
There are no Nevada anti-takeover provisions that may have the affect of delaying or preventing a change in control. 78.378 through 78.3793 of the Nevada Revised Statutes relates to control share acquisitions that may delay to make more difficult acquisitions or changes in our control, however, they only apply when we have 200 or more stockholders of record, at least 100 of whom have addresses in the state of Nevada appearing on our stock ledger and we do business in this state directly or through an affiliated corporation. Neither of the foregoing events seems likely will occur. Currently, we have no Nevada shareholders and since this offering will not be made in the state of Nevada, no shares will be sold to Nevada residents. Further, we conduct business in Nevada directly or through an affiliate corporation and we do not intend to do business in the state of Nevada in the future. Accordingly, there are n o anti-takeover provisions that have the affect of delaying or preventing a change in our control.

After we complete this offering, we will not be required to furnish you with an annual report. Further, we will not voluntarily send you an annual report. We will be required to file reports with the SEC under section 15(d) of the Securities Act. The reports will be filed electronically.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in US Dollars)
(Unaudited)
Based on management’s present assessment, the Company has not yet determined it to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset of $12,079 at August 31, 2008 attributable to the future utilization of the net operating loss carryforward of $34,511 will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% allowance against the deferred tax asset in the financial statements. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate. The $34,511 net operating loss carryforward expires $14,392 in year 2028, and $20,119 in year 2029.
Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.
7. | Commitments and Contingencies |
On June 23, 2008, the Company executed an agreement with a law firm to prepare and file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 in connection with its planned public offering (see Note 1). Among other things, the agreement provides for the payment of $30,000 legal fees to this law firm, $20,000 due upon execution of the agreement (paid on June 23, 2008) and $10,000 due when the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. | |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Earth Dragon Resources Inc.
I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Earth Dragon Resources Inc. (the Company), an exploration stage company, as of May 31, 2008 and the related statements of operations, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for the period October 23, 2007 (inception) to May 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit.
I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit 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. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.
In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Earth Dragon Resources Inc., an exploration stage company, as of May 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period October 23, 2007 (inception) to May 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s present financial situation raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2008
(Expressed in US Dollars)
Note 1Organization and Business Operations
Earth Dragon Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 23, 2007. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7. The Company has acquired a mineral property located in the State of Nevada, U.S.A, and has not yet determined whether this property contains reserves that are economically recoverable.
The Company plans to file a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to sell up to 2,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.05 per share to raise cash proceeds of up to $100,000 on a “best efforts, all or none” basis as to the first 1,000,000 shares.
Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These financial statements have been prepared on a “going concern” basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, as of May 31, 2008, the Company had cash of $14,834 and stockholder’s equity of $5,608. Further, the Company had a net loss from October 23, 2007 (inception) to May 31, 2008 of $14,392. These factors create substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company plans to improve its financial condition by obtaining new financing. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing this objective. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Mining Property Costs
The Company is in the exploration stage since its incorporation and inception on October 24, 2007 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mining property acquisition costs are capitalized and are charged to operations as the value is impaired. Exploration costs are expensed until proven and probable reserves are established. When it has been determined that a mining 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 probable reserves.

Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies– (cont’d)
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
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 assets and 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.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar.
Financial Instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of cash, accrued liabilities, and due to related party, approximates their fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Environmental Costs
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are charged to operations. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Company’s commitments to a plan of action based on the then known facts.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies– (cont’d)
Basic and Diluted Net 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 shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS excludes all potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Stock-based Compensation
Stock-based compensation is accounted for at fair value in accordance with SFAS Nos. 123 and 123R. To date, the Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
Note 3Mineral Property
In December 2007, the Company acquired the right to conduct exploration activity on the Mountain Queen Lode Mining Claim, located in Clark County, Nevada, U.S.A., at a cost of $6,500. The Claim Number is NMC#980946, which expires September 1, 2009. The property is in the name of Multi Metal Mining Corp. and held by it in trust for the Company.
In March 2008, the Company received an evaluation report from a third party consulting firm recommending an exploration program with a total estimated cost of $88,000. Due to lack of working capital, the Company has not completed this program.
On May 31, 2008, the Company recorded a $6,500 provision for impairment of mining property acquisition costs.

Note 6Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been recorded since the Company has incurred a net loss since inception.

Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% allowance against the deferred tax asset in the financial statements. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate. The $14,392 net operating loss carryforward expires in 2028.
Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The only statute, charter provision, bylaw, contract, or other arrangement under which any controlling person, director or officer of the registrant is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he may incur in his capacity as such, is as follows:
1. | Section 4 of our Articles of Incorporation filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this registration statement. |

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons against liability under the Act, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
