The Company is a development stage company engaged in the business of mineral exploration and, if warranted, the development of precious metal properties. Currently the Company has an indirect interest in only one property. The Company has no history of earnings or cash flow from operations. Historically, the only source of funds availably to the Company is through (i) the sale of its equity shares or (ii) borrowings.

There is no assurance that funds will be available for operations.

Liquidity
On September 30, 2004 the Company had a working capital of $124,000 as compared to a working capital of $153,000 at September 30, 2003.

The Company completed a private placement of 1,200,000 Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of $60,000 on February 14, 2004. Each Unit consists of one Subordinate Voting Share in the capital of Central Minera Corp. and one warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional Subordinate Voting Share at a price of $0.10 until February 13, 2006.
In addition, 3,211,670 warrants were exercised prior to their expiry date of May 30, 2004 for gross proceeds of $160,583.50. 1,605,350 Subordinate Voting Shares were issued to the holders under the terms of the warrants. 2,791,670 warrants expired without being exercised. A further 3,000,000 warrants expired on July 31, 2004 without being exercised.
The Company has been successful in the past in acquiring capital through sales of its equity shares. There is no assurance that these sources will continue to be available in the future.
