- --------------------------------------------------------------------
RISK FACTORS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS BEFORE DECIDING
TO INVEST IN THE COMMON STOCK
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY:
1. We lack an operating history.
We were incorporated in September 1999 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 $(292,824). Our
ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow
is dependent upon
* our ability to locate a profitable mineral property
* our ability to generate revenues
* our ability to reduce exploration and development costs.
Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in
future periods. This will happen because there are expenses
associated with the research, exploration and development of our
mineral properties. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful
in generating revenues in the future. Failure to generate revenues
will cause us to go out of business.
2. We have no known ore reserves and we cannot guarantee we will
find any gold or if we find gold that production will be profitable.
We have no known ore reserves and we cannot guaranty we will
ever find any gold. We are in the very early exploration stage and
are dependent on the proceeds from this offering to start our
exploration program. Even if we find that there is gold on our
property, we cannot guaranty that we will be able to recover the
gold. Even if we recover gold, we cannot guaranty that we will make
a profit.
3. Weather interruptions in the province of British Columbia
may affect and delay our proposed exploration operations.
Our proposed exploration and development work can only be
performed approximately five to six months out of the year. This is
because rain and snow cause roads leading to our claims to be
impassible during four months of the year. When roads are
impassible, we are unable to work and generate income.
7
4. Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must
limit our exploration and development.
Because we are small and do not have much capital, we must limit
our exploration and development. There are other larger exploration
companies that could and probably would spend more time and money in
exploring and developing our property.
5. We may not have access to all of the supplies and materials
we need.
Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the
industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies, such
as dynamite, and certain equipment such as bulldozers and excavators
that we might need to conduct exploration. We have not attempted to
locate or negotiate with any suppliers of products, equipment or
materials. We will attempt to locates products, equipment and
materials after this offering is complete. If we cannot find the
products and equipment we need, we will have to suspend our
exploration plans until we do find the products and equipment we
need.
6. We must find and development an ore reserve to be
successful.
Our success depends on finding and developing an ore reserve.
If we don't find an ore reserve containing gold or we cannot develop
the ore reserve, 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 loose your investment.
7. People we do business with may not be year 2000 compliant.
We are year 2000 compliant. We do not know if people we will be
doing business with in the future are year 2000 compliant. If
someone we do business with is not year 2000 compliant, the services
or products he furnishes to us could be interrupted. If the services
or products are interrupted, we may have to suspend operations while
he corrects his year 2000 compliance.
8. We may not have enough money to complete our exploration and
development.
We may not have enough money to complete our exploration and the
development of the property. If it turns our that we have not raised
enough money to complete our exploration and development 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.
8
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING:
9. We are a penny stock.
Our common stock is defined as a "penny stock" under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and its rules. Because we are a
penny stock, you may be unable to resell our shares. Also, the
Exchange Act and the penny stock rules impose additional sales
practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our
securities to persons other than certain accredited investors. As a
result, fewer broker/dealers are willing to make a market in our
stock and it may effect the level of news coverage you receive.
10. After this offering, control of the company will remain
with Messrs. Grenfal and Stetsenko.
Even if we sell all 2,000,000 shares of common stock in this
offering, Messrs. Grenfal and Stetsenko will still own 5,000,000
shares and will continue to control us. As a result, after
completion of this offering, regardless of the number of shares we
sell, Messrs. Grenfal and Stetsenko will be able to elect all of our
directors and control our operations. Our articles of incorporation
do not provide for cumulative voting. Cumulative voting is a process
that allows a shareholder to multiply the number of shares he owns
times the number of directors to be elected. That number is the
total votes a person can cast for all of the directors. Those votes
can be allocated in any manner to the directors being elected.
Cumulative voting, in some cases, will allow a minority group to
elect at least one director to the board. Our existing stockholders
do not intend to purchase any shares in this offering. This means
that existing shareholders will not be expanding their ownership.
Further, the concentrated control in the hands of Messrs. Grenfal and
Stetsenko may inhibit a change of control and may adversely affect
the market price of your common stock.
11. Benefits to the company's present shareholders.
Messrs Grenfal and Stetsenko, our only shareholders will receive
a substantial benefit from your investment. They are supplying the
property to be explored which is valued at $64, cash of $71 and a
loan of $17,684 which has to be repaid. 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 loose your investment while
Messrs. Grenfal and Stetsenko will loose only approximately $15,000.
12. There is no public trading market for our common stock.
There is currently no public trading market for our common
stock. We cannot guaranty a market will ever develop. If a market
does not develop, it will be very difficult, if not impossible for
you to resell your shares.
9
13. There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold and
we will not refund any funds to you.
There is no minimum number of shares that must be sold in this
offering, even if we raise a nominal amount of money. Any money we
receive will be immediately appropriated by us. We may not raise
enough money to start or complete exploration. No money will be
refunded to you under any circumstances.
14. Sales of common by our officers and directors will likely
cause the market price for the common stock to drop.
A total of 5,000,000 shares of stock were issued to our two
officers and directors. They paid an average price of $0.055. They
will likely sell a portion of their stock if the market price goes
above $0.10. If they do sell there stock into the market, the sales
may cause the market price of the stock to drop. See "Principal
Stockholders."
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARDING-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some discussions in this prospectus may contain forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties. A number of
important factors could cause our actual results to differ materially
from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us in
this prospectus. Such factors include, those discussed in "Risk
Factors," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and "Business," as well as those
discussed elsewhere in this prospectus. 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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
USE OF PROCEEDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Our offering is being made on a "best efforts - no minimum
basis." The net proceeds to us after deducting offering expenses of
$50,000 will be $150,000 if all of the shares are sold. The first
$50,000 raised will be used offering expenses. We will use the net
proceeds as follows:
Amount raised $ 50,000 $100,000 $150,000 $200,000
Allocation
Offering expenses $ 50,000 $ 50,000 $ 50,000 $ 50,000
Exploration $ 0 $ 50,000 $ 100,000 $ 140,000
Working capital $ 0 $ 0 $ 0 $ 10,000
10
We have allocated a wide range of money for exploration. That
is because we do not know how much will ultimately be needed for
exploration. If we are successful in immediately finding gold, we
will stop exploring and go on to develop the property. Costs of
exploring will then cease. On the other hand if we do not
immediately find gold, we will continue to explore for gold on the
property. If we have to continue to explore for gold, the costs of
exploration will increase.
While we currently intend to use the proceeds of this offering
substantially in the manner set forth above, we reserve the right to
reassess and reassign such use if, in the judgement of our board of
directors, such changes are necessary or advisable. At present, no
material changes are contemplated. Should there be any material
changes in the above projected use of proceeds in connection with
this offering, we will issue an amended prospectus reflecting the
same.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
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 $200,000 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 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.
See "Plan of Distribution; Terms of the Offering."

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization at March 31,
2000, on a historical basis and as adjusted to reflect the sale of
the shares.

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. See "Principal Stockholders."
As of March 31, 2000, the net tangible book value of our shares
of common stock was a deficit of $(17,572) or approximately $ NIL per
share based upon 5,000,000 shares outstanding.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event all of the shares
are sold, the net tangible book value of the 7,000,000 shares to be
outstanding will be $132,428, or approximately $0.02. The net
tangible book value of the shares held by our existing stockholders
will be increased by $0.02 per share without any additional
investment on their part. You will incur an immediate dilution from
$0.10 per share to $0.02 per share.
12
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 75% of the shares
are sold, the net tangible book value of the 6,500,000 shares to be
outstanding will be $82,428, or approximately $0.01 per share. The
net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing
stockholders will be increased by $0.01 per share without any
additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate
dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.01 per share.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 50% of the shares
are sold, the net tangible book value of the 6,000,000 shares to be
outstanding will be $32,428, or approximately $0.01 per share. The
net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing
stockholders will be increased by $0.01 per share without any
additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate
dilution from $0.10 per share to $0.01 per share.
Upon completion of this offering, in the event 25% of the shares
are sold, the net tangible book value of the 5,500,000 shares to be
outstanding will be $(17,572), or approximately $ NIL per share. The
net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing
stockholders will be increased by $ NIL per share without any
additional investment on their part. You will incur an immediate
dilution from $0.10 per share to $ NIL per share.
After completion of this offering, if 2,000,000 shares are sold,
you will own approximately 28.5% of the total number of shares then
outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of
$200,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own
approximately 71.43% of the total number of shares then outstanding,
for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or
other assets, totaling $275,000, or approximately $0.055 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 1,500,000 shares are sold,
you will own approximately 23.08% of the total number of shares then
outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of
$150,000, or $0.10 per share. Our existing stockholders will own
approximately 76.92% of the total number of shares then outstanding,
for which they have made contributions of cash and/or services and/or
other assets, totaling $275,000, or approximately $0.055 per share.
After completion of this offering, if 1,000,000 shares are sold,
you will own approximately 16.67% of the total number of shares then
outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of
$100,000, or $0.10 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 and/or services and/or
other assets, totaling $275,000, or approximately $0.055 per share.
13
After completion of this offering, if 500,000 shares are sold,
you will own approximately 9.09% of the total number of shares then
outstanding shares for which you will have made a cash investment of
$50,000, or $0.10 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 and/or services and/or
other assets, totaling $275,000, or approximately $0.055 per share.

BUSINESS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
General
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on September 2,
1999. We are engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development
of mining properties. We maintain our statutory registered agent's
office at 5844 South Pecos Road, Suite D, Las Vegas, Nevada 89120 and
our business office is located at 1040 West Georgia Street, Suite
1160, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6E 4H1 . Our telephone
number is (604) 605-0885. Our offices are leased from Callinan
Mines Ltd. on a month to month basis and our monthly rental is $-0-.
Background
In September 1999, Hugh Grenfal our President and a member of
the board of directors, acquired one mineral property containing ten
mining claims in British Columbia, Canada by arranging the staking of
the same through a third party. Mr. Grenfal paid $2,644 to stake
the claims. The claims are recorded in Mr. Grenfal's name to a avoid
paying additional fees, however, title to the claims has been
conveyed to us by an unrecorded deed. Under British Columbia
provinical law, if the deed is recorded in our name, we will have to
pay a minimum of $500.00 and file other documents since we are a
foreign corporation in Canada. We have decided that if gold is
discovered on the property and it is economical to remove the gold,
we will record the deed, pay the additional tax, and file as a
foreign corporation.
To date we have not performed any work on our property. We
are presently in the exploration stage and there is no assurance that
a commercially viable mineral deposit, a reserve, exists in our
property until further exploration is done and a comprehensive
evaluation concludes economic and legal feasibility.
Location and Access
The Mak Sikker property consists of 10 claims totaling
approximately 625 acres. The claims are on the western slope of Mt.
Kobau, northwest from the village of Creston, in south-central
British Columbia. Highway 3 runs immediately south of the property
and there is good road access to the top of Mt. Kobau.
Physiography
The property is situated in the Similkameen Valley within the
southern central interior of British Columbia. Elevations range from
1,800 feet in the southwest to 6,000 feet on Mt. Kobau. The
relatively flat summit of Mt. Kobau is at the southern end of a north
ridge. The west side of this ridge falls steeply toward the
Similkameen Valley. The slope drained by Manery Creek is fairly
steep and rugged.
17
Vegetation consists mainly of open grasslands with some
Ponderosa Pine and fir. The Similkameen bottomland is cultivated and
used for grazing. The climate features warm summers and mild
winters. Water is not plentiful, as the flow in Manery Creek is
intermittent. Water for exploration purposes would have to be
brought from the Similkameen River or one of the small ponds
northwest of the peak of Mount Kobau.
Property Geology
The major types of rocks found on the property are quartiziets
and greenston schists of the Paleozoic age. These rocks are intruded
by granodiorite stocks and dykes of Mesozoic age. All rock types are
cross-cut by a northeast trending shear zones that is up to 130 feet
wide. Quartz veins within the shear zone host gold and silver along
with chalcopyrite. Malachite, azurite and chlorite also occur within
the veins. Individual quartz veins are up to five feet wide.
MAP SUPPLIED SUPPLEMENTALLY.
Our Proposed Exploration Program
We must conduct exploration and development 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.
Our exploration program is designed to economically explore and
evaluate our properties.
We do not claim to have any ores or reserves whatsoever at this
time on any of our properties.
We intend to implement an exploration program and intend to
proceed in the following three phases:
Phase 1 will begin with research of the available geologic
literature, personal interviews with geologists, mining engineers and
others familiar with the prospect sites. We have recently begun this
phase of the exploration process on our properties.
When the research is completed, our initial work will be
augmented with geologic mapping, geophysical testing and geochemical
testing of our claims. When available, existing workings, such as
trenches, prospect pits, shafts or tunnels will be examined. If an
apparent mineralized zone is identified and narrowed down to a
specific area by the studies, we will to begin trenching the area.
Trenches are generally approximately 150 ft. in length and 10-20 ft.
wide. These dimensions allow for a thorough examination of the
surface of the vein structure types generally encountered in the
area. They also allow for efficient reclamation, re-contouring and
re-seeding of disturbed areas. Once excavation of a trench is
completed, samples are taken and then analyzed for economically
18
potential minerals that are known to have occurred in the area.
Careful interpretation of this available data collected from the
various tests aid in determining whether or not the prospect has
current economic potential and whether further exploration is
warranted.
Phase 1 will take about 3 months and cost up to $20,000.
Phase 2 involves an initial examination of the underground
characteristics of the vein structure that was identified by Phase 1
of exploration. Phase 2 is aimed at identifying any mineral deposits
of potential economic importance. The methods employed are
* more extensive trenching
* more advanced geophysical work
* drift driving
Drift driving is the process of constructing a tunnel to take samples
of ore for testing. Later, the tunnel can be used for mining ore.
The geophysical work gives a general understanding of the location
and extent of mineralization at depths that are unreachable by
surface excavations and provides a target for more extensive
trenching and core drilling. Trenching identifies the continuity and
extent of mineralization, if any, below the surface. After a thorough
analysis of the data collected in Phase 2, we will decide if the
property warrants a Phase 3 study.
Phase 2 will take about 3 months and cost up to $20,000.
Phase 3 is aimed at precisely defining the depth, the width, the
length, the tonnage and the value per ton of any ore body. This is
accomplished through extensive drift driving. ^ Phase 3 will take
about 6 months and cost up to $80,000.
We do not intend to interest other companies in the property if
we find mineralized materials. We intend to try to develop the
reserves ourselves.
Competitive Factors
The gold mining industry is fragmented. We compete with other
exploration companies looking for gold. We are one of the smallest
exploration companies in existence. We are an infinitely small
participant in the gold mining market. While we compete with other
exploration companies, there is no competition for the exploration or
removal or ore from our property. Readily available gold markets
exist in Canada and around the world for the sale of gold. As such,
we will be able to sell any gold that we are able to recover.
Regulations
Our mineral exploration program is subject to the Canadian
Mineral Tenure Act Regulation. This act sets forth rules for
19
* locating claims
* posting claims
* working claims
* reporting work performed
We are also subject to the British Columbia Mineral Exploration
Code which tells us how and where we can explore for minerals. We
must comply with these laws in order to operate our business.
Compliance with these rules and regulations will not adversely
affect our operations.
Environmental Law
We are also subject to the Health, Safety and Reclamation Code
for Mines in British Columbia. This code deals with environmental
matters relating to the exploration and development of mining
properties. Its goals are to protect the environment through a
series of regulations affecting:
1. Health and Safety
2. Archaeological Sites
3. Exploration Access
We are responsible to provide a safe working environment,
not disrupt archaeological sites, and conduct our activities in such
a manner as to cause unnecessary damage to the property.
We will secure all necessary permits for exploration and, if
development is warranted on the property, will file final plans of
operation prior to the commencement of 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. Re-contouring
and re-vegetation of disturbed surface areas will be completed
pursuant to law. Any portals, adit or 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
commence our operations and know what that will involve from an
environmental standpoint.
We are in compliance with the foregoing act and will continue to
comply with the act in the future. We believe that compliance with
the foregoing act will not adversely affect our business operations
in the future.
Employees
Initially, we intend to use the services of subcontractors for
manual labor exploration work on our properties. Our only technical
employees will be Hugh Grenfal and Sergei Stetsenko, our officers and
directors.
20
Employees and Employment Agreements
At present, we have no employees, other than Messrs. Grenfal and
Stetsenko, our officers and directors, who were compensated for
their services. Messrs. Grenfal and Stetsenko do not have employment
agreements with us. We presently do not have pension, health,
annuity, insurance, stock options, profit sharing or similar benefit
plans; however, we may adopt such plans in the future. There are
presently no personal benefits available to any employees.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
We are a start-up, exploration stage company and have not yet
generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. This means
that our auditors believe there is 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. Accordingly, we must raise cash from
sources other than the sale of minerals found on our property. That
cash must be raised from other sources. Our only other source for
cash at this time is investments by others in our company. We must
raise cash in order to implement our project and stay in business.
In order to meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise
money from this offering. There is no assurance that we will be able
to raise enough money through this offering to stay in business.
What ever money we do raise, will be applied first to exploration and
then to development, if development is warranted. If we do not raise
all of the money we need from this offering, we will have to find
alternative sources, such as a second public offering, a private
placement of securities, or loans from our officers or others. We
have discussed this matter with our officers, however, our officers
are unwilling to make any commitment to loan us any money at this
time. 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.
We will be conducting research in connection with the
exploration of our property. We are not going to buy or sell any
plant or significant equipment. We do not expect a change in our
number of employees.
^
21
Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is no historical financial information about our company
upon which to base an evaluation of our performance. We are an
exploration stage company 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 and/or development 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 our properties before we commence
production of any minerals we may find. We are seeking equity
financing in order to provide for the capital required to implement
our research and exploration phases.
We have no assurance that future financing will be available to
us on acceptable terms. If such 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.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
From Inception on September 2, 1999 until March 31, 2000.
We just recently acquired our first property and are commencing
the research and exploration stage of our mining operations on that
property at this time.
Since inception, we have used our common stock to raise money
for our property acquisition, for corporate expenses and to repay
outstanding indebtedness. Net cash provided by financing activities
from inception on September 2, 1999 to March 31, 2000 was $132, as a
result of proceeds received from a short term loan and advances.
Further, expenses in the amount of $17,684 were paid directly by the
existing shareholders and these amounts must be repaid.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this registration statement, we have yet to
generate any revenues from our business operations.
We issued 5,000,000 shares of common stock through a Section
4(2) offering in September 1999. This was accounted for as a
compensation expense of $273,586 and advances and reimbursement
expenses of $1,414.
As of March 31, 2000, our total assets were $135 and our total
liabilities were $17,707.
22
Year 2000 Compliance
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Date-sensitive
software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than
the year 2000. This could result in system failures or
miscalculations, causing disruptions of operations, including, among
others, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices
or engage in similar normal business activities.
Year 2000 State of Readiness
In order to address Year 2000 issues, we developed and
implemented a plan to become Year 2000 ready. The Year 2000 Plan
covers the computers and technology which we use in the research and
exploration of our properties. We have reviewed our technology
consisting of computer hardware and software systems and found them
to be Year 2000 ready. Since we do not have any vendors we cannot
make any assessment of third parties. In the future, we intend to
evaluate and assess the systems of any third party providers with
whom we do business.
Year 2000 Costs
To date, we have incurred no historical costs associated with
our Year 2000 readiness and the magnitude of any future costs will
depend upon the nature and extent of any problems that are
identified.
Year 2000 Risks
Our failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result
in a complete failure or degradation of the performance of our
computers which will interrupt our operations.
Presently, however, we believe that our most reasonably likely
worst case scenario related to the Year 2000 issue is associated with
potential concerns with third party providers' services or products.
In the future, we will be dependent on third-party vendors to provide
manual labor, research data and studies on our properties. A
significant Year 2000-related disruption to one of these vendor's
computer software and/or equipment could cause a delay in our
proposed research and explorations which in turn could materially and
adversely affect our results of operations, liquidity and financial
condition. Since we have not started business, we have not hired any
third party vendors. As such we are not presently aware of any
vendor-related Year 2000 issues that are likely to result in such a
disruption. There is no assurance that Year 2000 third party vendors
will not occur in the future.
Year 2000 Contingency Plans
Since our equipment is Year 2000 ready, we have not adopted any
Year 2000 contingency plans. See "Risk Factors - The Year 2000
Issue."

The names, addresses, ages and positions of our present officers
and directors are set forth below:
Name and Address Age Positions
Hugh Grenfal 30 President, Treasurer, Chief
3337 West 30th Ave. Financial Officer and a member of
Vancouver, B.C. the Board of Directors
Canada V6S 1W3
Sergei Stetsenko 29 Secretary and a member of the
704 - 1155 Beach Ave. Board of Directors
Vancouver, B.C.
Canada V6E 1V2
The persons named above have held their offices/positions since
inception of our company and are expected to hold their
offices/positions until the next annual meeting of our stockholders.
Background of Officers and Directors
Hugh Grenfal has been our President, Treasurer, Chief
Financial Officer and a member of our board of directors ^ since
inception. From January 1991 to June 1996, Mr. Grenfal was President
of Booker Gold Explorations Ltd., a mining and exploration
corporation located in Vancouver, British Columbia. Since October
1996, Mr. Grenfal has been a Director of Callinan Mines Ltd., a
mining and exploration corporation located in Vancouver, British
Columbia with revenue producing copper and zinc properties located in
Manitoba, Canada. Since June 1999, Mr. Grenfal has been President
of Paxton Mining Corporation located in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Paxton Mining Corporation is a mining company. Since September 1999,
Mr. Grenfal has been President of Ancona Mining Corporation located
in Vancouver, British Columbia. Ancona Mining is a mining company.
Since September 1999, Mr. Grenfal has been President of Camden Mining
Corporation located in Vancouver, British Columbia. Camden Mining is
a mining company. Mr. Grenfal is currently not a full-time employee
with another entity.
24
Sergei Stetsenko has been our Secretary and a member of our
board of directors ^ since inception. From December 1994 to June
1996, Mr. Stetsenko was the operations manager of Booker Gold
Explorations Ltd. His responsibilities included overseeing and
implementation of exploration programs and a member of the Hearne
Hill copper deposit discovery team. From October 1996 to the
present, Mr. Stetsenko was the operations manager of exploration for

been Secretary of Ancona Mining Corporation located in Vancouver,
British Columbia. Ancona Mining Corporation is a mining company.
Since September 1999, Mr. Stetsenko has been Secretary of Camden
Mining Corporation located in Vancouver, British Columbia. Camden
Mining Corporation is a mining company. Mr. Stetsenko is currently
not a full-time employee with another entity.
Conflicts of Interest
We believe that Hugh Grenfal and Sergei Stetsenko will be
subject to conflicts of interest. The conflicts of interest arise
from Messrs. Grenfal and Stetsenko's relationships with other mining
corporations. In the future, Messrs. Grenfal and Stetsenko will
continue to be involved in the mining business for other entities and
such involvement could create conflicts of interest. At the present
time, we do not foresee a direct conflict of interest because we do
not intend to acquire any additional mining properties. The only
conflicts that we foresee are Messrs. Grenfal and Stetsenko's
devotion of time to mining projects that do not involve us.
Specifically, Hugh Grenfal is an officer and director of
Callinan Mines Ltd., Ancona Mining Corporation, Paxton Mining
Corporation and Camden Mining Corporation, all of which are engaged
in the mining business. Mr. Stetsenko is an officer of Ancona Mining
Corporation and Camden Mining Corporation; and, operations manager
for Callinan Mines Ltd., all of which are engaged in the mining
business. Presently, none of the foregoing operate mines or receive
royalties from properties operated by others with the exception of
Callinan Mines Ltd. which receives CDN$149,000 annually from a copper
zinc mine in Flin Flon, Manitoba operated by Hudson Bay & Smelting
Co. Neither we nor our officers are affiliated with Hudson Bay &
Smelting Co. In the future, however, such corporations could begin
operating mines.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
Messrs. Grenfal and Stetsenko, our officers and directors, were
compensated in shares of common stock in the amount of $273,586 for
their services and there are no plans to compensate them in the near
future, unless and until we begin to realize revenues and become
profitable in our business operations.
25
Indemnification
Pursuant to the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the
corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a
party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his
position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in our best interest. In certain cases, we may advance
expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding. To the extent
that the officer or director is successful on the merits in any such
proceeding as to which such person is to be indemnified, we must
indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney's
fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only
for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the
proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by
a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest
extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which may be permitted to
directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we are
informed 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.

(inception) to March 31, 2000. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we 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. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Palal
Mining Corporation, as of March 31, 2000, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the period from September 2, 1999
(inception) to March 31, 2000, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2,
the Company has been in the exploration stage since its inception on
September 2, 1999. Realization of a major portion of the assets is
dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its future financing
requirements, and the success of future operations. These factors
raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are
described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

PALAL MINING CORPORATION
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2000
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Palal Mining Corporation (hereinafter "the Company") filed for
incorporation on September 2, 1999 under the laws of the state of
Nevada primarily for the purpose of acquiring, exploring, and
developing mineral properties. The Company's fiscal year end is June
30.
The Company is actively seeking additional capital and management
believes that the Company can develop mineral properties, which it has
acquired in British Columbia. However, there are inherent
uncertainties in mining operations and management cannot provide
assurances that it will be successful in this endeavor. Furthermore,
the Company is in the exploration stage, as it has not realized any
significant revenues from its planned operations.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is
presented to assist in understanding the Company's financial
statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of
the Company's management which is responsible for their integrity and
objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted
accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the
preparation of the financial statements.
Exploration Stage Activities
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation in
September 1999 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned
operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration
and development of mining properties. Upon location of a commercial
minable reserve, the Company expects to actively prepare the site for
its extraction and enter a development stage.
Going Concern
The Company's financial statements have been presented on a going
concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown
in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred a net
loss of $292,824 for the period ended March 31, 2000, and had no sales.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Management has plans to seek additional
capital through a private placement and public offering of its common
stock. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets,
or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that might be
necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
Accounting Method
The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual
method of accounting.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share
Loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted
average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares
outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were
outstanding. Basic and diluted loss per share were the same, as there
were no common stock equivalents outstanding.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all
short-term debt securities purchased with a maturity of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.
Provision for Taxes
At March 31, 2000, the Company had a net operating loss of
approximately $292,000. No provision for taxes or tax benefit has been
reported in the financial statements, as there is not a measurable
means of assessing future profits or losses.
Use of Estimates
The process of preparing financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of estimates
and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled
transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements.
Accordingly, upon settlement, actual results may differ from estimated
amounts.
Impaired Asset Policy
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
statement titled "Accounting for Impairment of Long-live Assets." In
complying with this standard, the Company reviews its long-lived assets
quarterly to determine if any events or changes in circumstances have
transpired which indicate that the carrying value of its assets may not
be recoverable. The Company determines impairment by comparing the
undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by its assets
to their respective carrying amounts. The Company does not believe any
adjustments are needed to the carrying value of its assets at March 31,
2000.
Concentration of Risk
The Company maintains its cash accounts in primarily one commercial
bank in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The Company's cash
account is a business checking account maintained in U.S. dollars,
which totaled $71 as of March 31, 2000. This amount is not insured by
the FDIC.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Exploration Costs
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the
Company will expense exploration costs as incurred.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standard No. 52. There
were no foreign currency translation adjustments required at March 31,
2000. The Company will record future foreign currency translation
results as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Derivative Instruments
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
At March 31, 2000, the Company has not engaged in any transactions that
would be considered derivative instruments or hedging activities.
Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2000,
included herein have been audited at the request of the Company.
They reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to present fairly the results of operations for
the period. All such adjustments are normal recurring adjustments.
The results of operations for the period presented is not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
NOTE 3 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company is engaged in the exploration and development of mineral
properties. At present there are no feasibility studies establishing
proven and probable reserves.
Although the minerals exploration and mining industries are inherently
speculative and subject to complex environmental regulations, the
Company is unaware of any pending litigation or of any specific past or
prospective matters which could impair the value of its mining claims.
The Company is presently undertaking the required steps to register as
a publicly traded company. In this regard, the Company has signed a
contract with a securities attorney to assist in this matter. The
total fees to be paid to the attorney amount to $25,000. Of this
amount, $12,500 has been paid and is recorded as professional fees.
The remaining $12,500 will be due when the Company's registration
statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

NOTE 4 - COMMON STOCK
On September 2, 1999, 5,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to
officers and directors only. There was no public offering of any
securities. The above referenced shares were issued in payment for
consulting services in the amount of $273,586 and repayment for mining
claim recording fees of $64, expenses of $1,218 and advances of $132.
These shares were issued pursuant to exemption from registration
contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
In September 1999, the Company, through Mr. Hugh Grenfal, president and
a member of the Board of Directors, acquired ten Mak mining claims
located in the Osoyoos Mining Division of British Columbia, Canada.
NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTIES
An officer of the Company has advanced monies to the Company for the
payment of legal fees. This amount is uncollateralized and has been
recorded as a short-term loan, bearing no interest and having no
specific due date. As of March 31, 2000, the Company has recorded
interest expense in the amount of $252. The imputed interest rate for
this note was 6.45%, and was recorded as a contribution of additional
paid-in capital by the stockholders.

ITEM 28. UNDERTAKINGS.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has 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. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
a. To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
of the Securities Act of 1933;
b. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the registration statement;
c. To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any change to such information in the registration
statement.
2. That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
the termination of the offering.
