SECTION 1 - REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On April 28, 2006, we agreed to acquire a 75% interest from Rodinia Minerals, Inc. in their Coon Creek properties located in Gila County, Arizona by (1) issuing 500,000 UraniumCore common shares to Rodinia ; (2) by paying $50,000 to Rodinia; and (3) by agreeing to invest $300,000 in exploration expenditures on the Properties on or before the second anniversary of the acquisition of the properties. Both parties agreed that the 75% interest would vest upon the occurrence of the following: (1) the permits were issued; (2) the shares were issued; and (3) the $50,000.00 was received.
On June 13, 2006, the company agreed to acquire a 75% interest in two additional properties from Rodinia Minerals, Inc. and both parties agreed to renegotiate the acquisition of all four properties.
On August 11, 2006 we completed the Option Agreement with Rodinia Minerals, Inc., wherein Rodinia Minerals, Inc. (“Optionor”) granted to the Company (“Optionee”) the sole and exclusive right and option to acquire a 75% undivided right, title and interest in the “Suckerite”, “Pendleton Mesa”, “Coon Creek” and “Oak Creek” Uranium properties located in Gila County, Arizona, subject to the following terms below:
The Optionee can exercise the Option by issuing and registering the Shares, and making the payments to the Optionor, and incurring the expenditures, in the following amounts and by the dates indicated, all on and subject to the following terms and conditions, and the Option will terminate if the Optionee fails to make any of such payments, issue and register any of such Shares, incur such expenditures or otherwise satisfy the applicable terms and conditions hereof;
1. | by paying to Rodinia Fifty-Thousand Dollars ($50,000) on execution of this Agreement; |
2. | by issuing and delivering the 4,000,000 Common Shares of the Company to Rodinia and, thereafter, forthwith filing registration statements on Form SB2 with the SEC on the following basis to register the Shares under the Securities Act; |
(i) | in respect of 25% of the Suckerite Property Shares, within 28 days of the Suckerite Property Permit Approval Date and, thereafter, in respect of each additional 25% of the Suckerite Property Shares, on or before each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Suckerite Property Permit Approval Date; |
(ii) | in respect of 25% of the PM Property Shares, within 28 days of the PM Property Permit Approval Date and, thereafter, in respect of each additional 25% of the PM Property Shares, on or before each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the PM Property Permit Approval Date; |
(iii) in respect of 25% of the Coon Creek Property Shares, within 28 days of the Coon Creek Property Permit Approval Date and, thereafter, in respect of each additional 25% of the Coon Creek Property Shares, on or before each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Coon Creek Property Permit Approval Date;
(iv) in respect of 25% of the Oak Creek Property Shares, within 28 days of the Oak Creek Property Permit Approval Date and, thereafter, in respect of each additional 25% of the Oak Creek Property Shares, on or before each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the Oak Creek Property Permit Approval Date;
3. | by incurring an aggregate of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in exploration expenditures (including Direct Project Costs and Expenditures) on the Properties on or before the fourth Anniversary Date, as follows; |
(iii) | not less than an aggregate of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) on or before the first Anniversary Date; |
(iv) | not less than an aggregate of Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000) on or before the second Anniversary Date; |

including a minimum of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) in exploration expenditures (including Direct Project Costs and Expenditures) on each Property on or before the second Anniversary Date failing which, in respect of any Property, such Property shall cease to be included in this Agreement and subject to the Option; provided, however, that, in doing so, the Optionee shall indemnify and hold the Optionor harmless from and against all suits, claims, demands, costs, liabilities, losses and expenses that may arise as a result of the Optionee’s activities on or in respect of the Properties.
The Company has exercised the Option to acquire the 75% interest in the four properties and has paid the $50,000.00 to Rodinia Minerals, Inc. The Company has reserved 4,000,000 shares of Common Shares for issuance and will deliver them to Rodinia Minerals, Inc. pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement.
SECTION 4- MATTERS RELATED TO ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
ITEM 4.01 CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.
(A) PREVIOUS INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS.
| (i) | On August 11, 2006, the Board of Directors approved the dismissal of Malone & Bailey, P.C. as its independent registered public accounting firm effective immediately. There were no disagreements between us and Malone & Bailey, P.C., whether resolved or not resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statements disclosures or auditing scope and procedures, which would cause them to make reference to the subject matter of a disagreement in connection with their report from February 7, 2005 or in any subsequent interim period through August 11, 2006. On September 6, 2006 the Company provided Malone & Bailey with its disclosures in this Form 8-K/A and requested in writing that Malone & Bailey furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not they agree with such disclosures. Malone & Bailey’s response is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A. |
| (ii) | The report of Malone & Bailey, on the financial statements for the past fiscal year, the term of its engagement, contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principle. The report contained a “going concern” modification. |
| (iii) | In connection with its audit for the most recent fiscal year and through August 11, 2006, there have been no disagreements with Malone & Bailey, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Malone & Bailey, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such years. |
| (iv) | During the last fiscal year and through August 11, 2006, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 304(a)(1)(v)). |
(B) NEW INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS.
On August 11, 2006, Moore & Associates, Chartered Accountants and Advisors, were engaged to provide Auditors' Reports on the annual financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year end 2006, and to conduct review engagements on the Company's non-annual quarterly financial statements on an ongoing basis thereafter. The change of accountant was approved by majority consent of the board of directors. During the two most recent fiscal years and through August 11, 2006, the Registrant has not consulted with Moore & Associates regarding: <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
| (i) | the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed; nor the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Registrant’s financial statements; nor has any written report or oral advice been provided to the Registrant by Moore & Associates. |
| (ii) | any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a) (1) (iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 304(a) (1) (iv) of Regulation S-K. The Registrant has engaged Moore & Associates as its new independent accountants as of August 11, 2006. |
The former accountant’s report on our financial statements does not contain any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinions and is not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, auditing scope or accounting principles. Prior to engaging the new accountant, we did not consult with it regarding any accounting or auditing concerns stated in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-B.

ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS.

There is no arrangement or understanding between any of our directors or officers and any other person pursuant to which any director or officer was or is to be selected as a director or officer, and there is no arrangement, plan or understanding as to whether non-management shareholders will exercise their voting rights to continue to elect the current directors.
