NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1) The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form10-Q. Certain notes and other information
have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements
presented in this report. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. The results
of operations for the six months ended April 30, 2004 and April 30, 2003
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended October 31, 2003 as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.
2) No provision for income taxes is required for the period ended
April 30, 2004 or 2003, because (a) in management's opinion, the current
year will result in a net operating loss, (b) there are no previous
earnings to which the current year's estimated loss may be carried back,
and (c) there are no recorded income tax deferrals to be eliminated.
3) Loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding during the six months ended April 30, 2004
and 2003, 100,712,039 shares in 2004 and 85,712,039 shares in 2003.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company has identified the accounting policies described
below as critical to its business operations and the understanding
of the Company's results of operations. The impact and any associated
risks related to these policies on the Company's business operations
is discussed throughout this section where such policies affect the
Company's reported and expected financial results. The preparation
of this Quarterly Report requires the Company to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities
of the Company, revenues and expenses of the Company during the
reporting period and contingent assets and liabilities as of the date
of the Company's financial statements. There can be no assurance that
the actual results will not differ from those estimates.
Undeveloped mineral interests and oil and gas properties:
The Company utilized the "successful efforts" method of accounting
for undeveloped mineral interests and oil and gas properties. Capitalized
costs were charged to operations at the time the Company determined
that no economic reserves existed. Costs of carrying and retaining
undeveloped properties were charged to expense when incurred. Proceeds
from the sale of undeveloped properties were treated as a recovery of
cost. Proceeds in excess of the capitalized cost realized in the sale
of any such properties, if any, were to be recognized as gain to the
extent of the excess.
Impairment of long-lived assets:
The Company evaluates the potential impairment of long-lived
assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
The Company quarterly reviews the amount of recorded long-lived assets
for impairment. If the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not
recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, the Company will
recognize an impairment loss in such period.
Investment in Joint Venture
The Company's investment in joint venture reflects its 25%
interestin two petroleum exploration permits, offshore Western
Australia. The capitalized cost includes the preferred and common
stock at the market price at the date of stock issuance. In addition,
the Company recorded an estimate of $40,000 for the costs to register
the restricted stock.

Results of Operations
The Registrant began operations on May 19, 1978 and is considered
to be a mining company in the exploratory stage and has had no
significant revenues. In 1984 the Company ceased gold extraction
operations at Rochester, Montana. During 1988, with the receipt of
funding from a stock purchase agreement, it resumed mineral and oil
and gas exploration both at Rochester and elsewhere in North America
and Australia. Despite detailed geologic investigations at Rochester
both by the Company and by leading gold mining companies, there was
insufficient encouragement from exploration results to warrant further
investigations or activity at Rochester. In 2002 and 2003 the
Registrant sold thirteen patented mining claims in the Rochester
Mining district for $82,192 and is pursuing the sale of the additional
eighteen claims in the district. The Registrant anticipates receiving
approximately $150,000 from the remaining property and recorded an
impairment loss in the carrying amount of Assets held for sale of
$268,000 during the third quarter of 2003.
In 2003 the Registrant acquired a 25% interest in two
petroleum exploration permits in the North West Shelf area of the
Carnarvon Basin, offshore Western Australia. The interest was
acquired from two public companies, Octanex NL and Strata Resources
NL, of which Mr. E.G. Albers, a member of the Registrant's board,
is a major shareholder and director. The Registrant acquired the
25% interest by issuing a total of 15,000,000 shares of Restricted
Common Stock and 19,091,550 shares of Restricted $.015 Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock to meet a $969,550 funding requirement
associated with the interest. The initial exploration program has
included acquiring and interpreting existing open-file 2D and 3D
seismic data sets and preparation for the shooting of new seismic.
All costs above $969,550 to be expended on the Exmouth Joint Venture
Project shall be shared by the participants in accordance with
their interests.
General and administrative expenses decreased for the six
months ending April 30, 2004 compared to the six months ended April
30, 2003 primarily due to the Registrant's decreased level of
activity in evaluating various opportunities during the period.
The Registrant plans to continue its oil and gas exploration
activities, which are administered, from a representative office
in Melbourne, Australia and in Prescott, Arizona.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since ceasing milling operations at its Rochester, Montana
property in 1984, the Registrant has evaluated this and other
mineral properties, as well as having pursued waste management
activities. The waste management assets have been sold and the
Registrant has placed its Rochester property on the market for
sale and anticipates receiving $150,000 for the property.
(7)
Management plans to use the funds from any sale of the
Rochester property to fund the Company's evaluation of oil and
gas exploration and production opportunities. Plans for additional
funding of these activities include attempting to obtain external
funding, either through the sale of the Company's common or
preferred stock.
Forward Looking Information
Statements of the Company's or management's intentions,
beliefs, anticipations, expectations and similar expressions
concerning future events contained in this document constitute
forward looking statements as defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. As with any future event, there
can be no assurance that the vents described in the forward
looking statements made in this report will occur or that the
results of future events will not vary materially from those
described in the forward looking statements in this document.
