Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere herein. The Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada (“Canadian GAAP”). These principles, as applied to the Company, differ in some respects from those generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). For a comparison of the difference between Canadian GAAP and U.S. GAAP, see Note 13 to the Financial Statements of the Company. All dollar amounts herein are expressed as US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
The Company is a pre-exploratory 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 one company that has claims in Nevada. 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. Even is the results of future exploration programs are encouraging, the Company may not have sufficient funds to conduct the further exploration that may be necessary to determine whether or not a commercial deposit may exist on any of its properties. There is no assurance that funds will be available for operations.
1st Quarter 2005 compared to 1st Quarter 2004
During the quarter ended September 30, 2005 (“1st Quarter 2005”), the Company incurred a loss of $24,679 compared with a loss of $29,349 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 (“1st Quarter 2004”). The Company incurred administrative expenses of $23,401 in 1st Quarter 2005 as compared with $30,997 in 1st Quarter 2004. The difference is attributable to a reduction in legal fees of $8,562 for 1st quarter 2005 as compared to 1st Quarter 2004

Presently there are no meaningful trends evident from analysis of the summary of quarterly financial information over the last eight quarters. The Company’s operating expenses are variable and dependent upon the degree of activities or projects undertaken during a period.
Liquidity
On September 30, 2005 the Company had working capital deficit of $12,330 as compared to working capital of $12,349 at September 30, 2004. As none of the Company’s mineral properties have advanced to the commercial production stage and it has no history of earnings or cash flow from operations, the Company relies on the sale of its equity shares for its source of funds.
The Company had no financing activity during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, 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 $160,584. 1,605,835 Subordinate Voting Shares were issued to the holders under the terms of the warrants. 2,791,670 warrants expired 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.
Transactions with Related Parties
The Company paid consulting fees in the amount of $72,035 (Cdn $90,000) to First Fiscal Management Ltd., a company controlled by Michael Cytrynbaum.
First Quarter
The company was inactive during the first quarter.
Subsequent Events
The Directors of Central Minera Corp. (“Central Minera”) have been advised that the United States Bureau of Land Management (the “BLM”) has launched a challenge to the legality of the 264 unpatented placer mining claims (the “Cactus Claims”) held by Cactus Gold Corp. (“Cactus”) and located in Clark County, Nevada. Cactus is a private Nevada corporation controlled, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Chuck Ager, in which Central Minera holds a 14.75% minority interest.
Central Minera has been advised that the BLM alleges that Cactus Claims were not located in good faith, but instead, through the fraudulent use of so-called “dummy locators”, for the benefit and use of Charles Ager.
As a minority shareholder in Cactus, Central Minera is not a party to the claim contest and does not have direct access to all of the information concerning Cactus’s defense of the BLM proceedings. The Board of Directors has, however, retained counsel in Nevada to monitor and review the proceedings on its behalf and to advise it as to its options if the BLM prevails.
Central Minera Corp. announced a non-brokered private placement of 1,250,000 subordinate voting shares at a price of US$0.04 per share for gross proceeds of US$50,000.
Proceeds of the private placement will be used for general working capital purposes.
The private placement is expected to close in early December, 2005.

The Company’s authorized share capital consists of 3,000,000 Variable Multiple Voting Shares and unlimited Subordinate Voting Shares. Of these, as at September 30, 2005 the following were issued and outstanding:
| | |
