NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2001
(Unaudited)
(Stated in U.S. Dollars)
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS
a) Organization
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S.A. on February
17, 1999.
b) Exploration Stage Activities
The Company is in the process of exploring its mineral property and has
not yet determined whether the property contains ore reserves that are
economically recoverable.
The Company is in the exploration stage; therefore, recovery of its
assets is dependent upon future events, the outcome of which is
indeterminable. In addition, successful completion of the Company's
exploration program and its transition, ultimately to the attainment of
profitable operations, is dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to
fulfil its exploration activities and achieve a level of sales adequate
to support its cost structure.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Because
a precise determination of many assets and liabilities is dependent upon
future events, the preparation of financial statements for a period
necessarily involves the use of estimates which have been made using careful
judgement.
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly
prepared within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of
the significant accounting policies summarized below:
a) Mineral Property and Related Deferred Exploration Expenditures
The Company capitalizes the acquisition costs of mineral properties in
which it has a continuing interest to be amortized over the recoverable
reserves when a property reaches commercial production. On abandonment
of any property, applicable acquisition costs will be written off. To
date, the Company has not established the commercial feasibility of its
mineral property, therefore, all exploration expenditures are being
expensed.

(Unaudited)
(Stated in U.S. Dollars)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
a) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
b) Foreign Currency Translation
The Company's functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in
foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars as follows:
i) monetary items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;
ii) non-monetary items at the historical exchange rate;
iii) revenue and expense at the average rate in effect during the
applicable accounting period.
a) Income Taxes
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109 - "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). This standard requires
the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and
reporting on income taxes. If it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation
allowance is recognized.
b) Net Loss Per Share
The net loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the year. Fully diluted loss per
share is not presented, as the impact of the exercise of options is anti
-dilutive.

2. MINERAL PROPERTY
The Company has entered into an option agreement to acquire a 50% interest
in the Secret Basin, Nevada property for the following consideration:
* cash payment of U.S. $1,000;
* exploration expenditures totalling U.S. $250,000 by February 28, 2002,
U.S. $10,000 of which must be expended by June 30, 2001.
Consideration to date $ 1,000
========
4. CONTINGENCY
Mineral Property
The Company's mineral property interest has been acquired pursuant to an
option agreement. In order to retain its interest, the Company must satisfy
the terms of the option agreement described in Note 3.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company is a natural resource company engaged in the acquisition,
exploration and development of mineral properties. The Company has an interest
in certain properties located in Nevada, and intends to carry out exploration
work on this property in order to ascertain whether it possesses commercially
developable quantities of gold and other precious minerals.
The Company holds an option agreement from Miranda Industries Inc. ("Miranda")
to acquire a 50% interest in the "Secret Basin" project situated in the State of
Nevada (the "Basin claims"). The consideration paid by the Company to Miranda
for the grant of the Option at the time of execution was $1,000 US. The Option
is exercisable by the Company incurring the following property exploration
expenditures on the Basin claims:
1. The Company received an extension to perform initial exploration
expenditures in the amount of $10,000 US by June 30, 2001; and
2. Cumulative exploration expenditures in the amount of $250,000 US by February
28, 2002.
The Company has not incurred exploration expenditures to date on the Basin
Claims which can be applied towards exercise of the Option.
Upon the Company acquiring a 50% interest in the Basin claims by exercise of the
Option, the Company and Miranda will enter into a joint venture for the purpose
of further exploring and developing and, if economically and politically
feasible, constructing and operating a mine on the Basin claims.
Plan of Operations
With its current cash position, the Company cannot complete Phase I without
additional financing. The approximate cost of the Phase I work program is
$10,000. If the Company is not successful in raising additional financing, the
Company may attempt to negotiate another extension to the date for the
completion of the required exploration expenses under the option agreement. If
the Company does not negotiate an extension then the Company's interest in the
property will terminate. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to
negotiate any extension or obtain additional financing if an extension is
negotiated.
Completion of Phase Two of the exploration program (as described in the First
Amended Form 10-SB Registration Statement) is conditional upon completion of
Phase I. If the Company determines to proceed with Phase Two, it will need
additional financing which it intends to obtain through a private offering of
stock to accredited investors under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933.
The Company's primary source of funds since incorporation has been through the
issue of its common stock. The Company has no revenue from mining to date and
does not anticipate mining revenues in the foreseeable future.
The Company had cash on hand in the amount of $1,626 as of March 31, 2001
compared to $1,702 for the period ending December 31, 2000. (The Company was
incorporated Feb 18, 1999). The Company will require additional funding in
order to complete Phase I of the exploration program.
The Company's general and administrative expenses were $4,824 for the period
ending March 31, 2001 compared to $10,653 for the period ending March 31, 2000.
Of the above amount, $3,000 was paid to Senate Capital under the management
services agreement. There are limited resources to continue paying the fee of
$1,000 per month under the Management Agreement with Senate Capital. The
Company will require additional funding in order to finance its ongoing general
and administrative expenses. There is no assurance that the Company will obtain
the necessary financing.
The Company incurred professional fees of $1,694 for the period ending March
31,2001 compared to $7,049 for the period ending March 31, 2000.
In addition, the Company does not have sufficient cash to pay for its overhead
expenses including professional fees associated with the Company's ongoing
obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Company has not purchased or sold any plant or significant equipment and
does not expect to do so in the foreseeable future.
The Company currently has no employees, and does not expect to hire any
employees in the foreseeable future. The Company conducts its business through
agreements with consultants and arms-length third parties.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS OF THE PRIVATE
SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
From time to time, the "Company will make written and oral forward-looking
statements about matters that involve risk and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from projected results. Important factors

* The speculative nature of mineral exploration
* Environmental risks
* Changes in laws and government regulations, including those relating to
taxes and the environment
* The availability and timing of receipt of necessary governmental permits
and approval relating to operations, expansion of operations, and financing
of operations
* Fluctuations in interest rates and other adverse financial market
conditions
* Other unanticipated difficulties in obtaining necessary financing

Many of these factors are beyond the Company's ability to control and predict.
Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update its
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of receiving new information,
the occurrence of future events, or otherwise.
