RISK FACTORS
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
AN INVESTMENT IN THESE SECURITIES INVOLVES AN EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH
DEGREE OF RISK AND IS EXTREMELY SPECULATIVE IN NATURE. IN ADDITION TO
THE OTHER INFORMATION REGARDING OUR COMPANY CONTAINED IN THIS
PROSPECTUS, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER MANY IMPORTANT FACTORS IN DETERMINING
WHETHER TO PURCHASE THE SHARES BEING OFFERED. THE FOLLOWING RISK
FACTORS ARE SOME OF THE POTENTIAL AND SUBSTANTIAL RISKS WHICH COULD BE
INVOLVED IF YOU DECIDE TO PURCHASE SHARES IN THIS OFFERING.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY:
1. We Have No Operating History.
Our Company was incorporated in June 1999 and we have not yet
commenced our proposed business operations or realized any revenues. We
have no operating history upon which an evaluation of our future
prospects can be made. Such prospects must be considered in light of
the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by new
entrants into the competitive mining industry. The mining business is,
by nature, extremely speculative. Our ability to achieve and maintain
8
profitability and positive cash flow is highly dependent upon a number
of factors, including our ability to locate a profitable mineral
property and generate revenues, while reducing exploration and
development costs. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur
operating losses in future periods as we incur significant expenses
associated with the research, exploration and development of our
mineral properties. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in
realizing revenues or achieving or sustaining positive cash flow in the
future and any such failure could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" and "Business."
2. Speculative Nature of the Mineral Exploration Industry;
Exploration Stage; No Known Ore Reserves; and Uncertain Validity
of Unpatented Mining Claims.
Gold, silver and strategic metals exploration is highly
speculative in nature, involving many risks which even a combination of
scientific knowledge and experience cannot overcome, often resulting in
unproductive efforts. We are in the very early exploration stage and
are dependent on the proceeds to be realized from the sale of Common
Stock in this Offering for the funds necessary to carry out our planned
exploration and development program. We cannot guarantee that our
explorations will be successful, that any production will be obtained,
or that production, if obtained, will be profitable. Although we
believe there is a sufficient basis to engage in exploration on our
property, it may not result in the discovery of any known ore reserves.
We do not claim any known ore reserves on our properties. The validity
of unpatented mining claims, depends, to a large extent, upon numerous
circumstances and factual matters (many of which are discoverable of
record or by other available means) and is subject to many
uncertainties of existing law and its applications. While we believe
our property could contain minerals, further exploration and mineral
assessments performed by government agencies may indicate that our
claims are not sufficiently mineralized and may later be abandoned or
determined to be invalid because of insufficient mineralization. See
"Business."
3. Industry Conditions; Economic Factors.
Our continued existence is highly dependent upon the condition of
the mineral exploration and development industry. Currently, the price
of gold is at its lowest point in the last 20 years. The economic
viability of that market, in turn, is highly dependent on, among many
other factors, political issues and general economic conditions. During
periods of economic downturn or slow economic growth, coupled with
eroding consumer confidence or rising inflation, the price and/or sale
of precious metals could be severely impacted. Such factors would
likely have an immediate effect on our business operations and/or
9
profitability. Currently, the mining industry is depressed and mineral
values have been very low over the last several years, making it
difficult to conduct operations profitably. See "Business."
4. Transportation Difficulties and Weather Interruptions.
While some mining concerns operate 12 months per year, our
proposed exploration and development work can only be performed for
approximately 8 months out of The year (under normal circumstances) due
to rain and snowfall in British Columbia, where our property is
located. Also, the existing roads leading to our property is
rough-graded dirt and, during rainy weather, is sometimes unusable or
washed out. Such factors would likely have an immediate adverse effect
on our operations and/or profitability. See "Business."
5. Government Regulation, Permits and Environmental Impact.
Any mineral exploration programs undertaken by us will be subject
to extensive Canadian laws, rules and regulations. Various governmental
permits are required for our proposed operations. We are not assured of
receiving such permits as and when we need them for our operations, or
at all. In addition, existing, as well as future legislation and
regulations could cause additional expense, capital expenditures,
restrictions and delays in the development of our properties. The
extent to which future legislation and/or regulations might affect our
operations cannot be predicted. There is no assurance environmental or
safety standards more stringent than those presently in effect may not
be enacted, which could adversely affect our exploration program. Also,
the industry often finds itself in conflict with the interests of
private environmental groups which often have an adverse effect on the
mining industry. See "Business."
6. Competition.
There is intense competition in the mineral exploration and
development industry in which we operate. All of our competitors have
greater financial and other resources, better distribution networks
and/or greater name recognition than us. We don't know whether we will
be able to successfully compete in this industry. See "Business."
7. Supply Factors.
Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the
industry could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies of
certain products, equipment or materials we may use in our operations.
We cannot guarantee we will be able to obtain certain products,
equipment and/or materials which we require, without interruption, as
and when needed, or on terms favorable to us. See "Business."
10
8. Risk Factors Affecting Our Operating Results and Potential
Fluctuations in Revenues.
Our success depends on a number of factors, many of which are
beyond our control. These factors include the rates of and costs
associated with the exploration and development of our properties;
capital expenditures and other costs relating to the expansion of our
business operations; fluctuations in the price of minerals; changes in
operating expenses; changes in our exploration and development
strategy; personnel changes; the introduction of alternative mining
technologies; the effect of other potential property acquisitions;
increased competition in our current and prospective markets; and other
general economic factors. Our operating results, cash flows and
liquidity may fluctuate significantly in the future. Our revenues will
depend on our ability to successfully identify, produce and market any
minerals located on our properties, assuming minerals are located, of
which there is no assurance. To the extent that revenues are below
expectations, we may be unable or unwilling to reduce expenses
proportionately, and operating results, cash flow and liquidity are
likely to be adversely affected. Due to these and other factors, our
operating results and/or growth rate may be below the expectations of
our management and investors, which could materially adversely affect
the value of any Shares you purchase in this Offering. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" and "Business."
9. Our Dependence On and Ability to Attract Key Personnel.
Our business operations will be highly dependent upon our ability
to attract and maintain key employees and management personnel with
experience in the research, exploration, development and production of
minerals. The process of hiring employees with the combination of
skills and attributes required to carry out our business strategy is
extremely competitive and time-consuming. We cannot guarantee that we
will be able to identify and/or hire qualified personnel as and when
they are needed for our operations. The loss of the services of key
personnel, or the inability to attract qualified personnel, could
materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and
results of operations. See "Management."
10. Year 2000 Computer Problems.
Many existing computer programs use only two digits to identify a
year in the date field, e.g., "98" instead of "1998." These programs
were designed and developed without considering the impact of the
upcoming change in the century, i.e., Year 2000. If not corrected, many
computer applications could fail or create erroneous results by or at
the Year 2000. The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued Staff
Legal Bulletin No. 5 indicating the Year 2000 problem affects
11
virtually all companies and organizations. We have made assessments and
corrections to our equipment regarding the Year 2000 issues and have
determined which 2000 issues may adversely affect our business,
operations (including operating systems) and/or financial condition.
These Year 2000 issues could also affect our relationships with
customers, suppliers and other parties with whom we do business. We
have instituted a Year 2000 remediation program and contingency plans;
however, there could be many other unknown factors which could affect
our business operations and/or financial condition. A material
consideration in this regard would be the cost of remediation programs
and/or contingency plans to correct unforseen problems. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations-Year 2000 Compliance."
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING:
11. The Risks of Buying Low-Priced Stocks.
Our Common Stock is defined as a "penny stock" under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
and rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission . The Exchange Act
and such penny stock rules generally impose additional sales practice
and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities
to persons other than certain "accredited investors" (generally,
institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with
net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000,
or $300,000 jointly with spouse), or in transactions not recommended by
the broker-dealer. For transactions covered by the penny stock rules,
a broker-dealer must make a suitability determination for each
purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement prior to the
sale. In addition, the broker-dealer must make certain mandated
disclosures in penny stock transactions, including the actual sale or
purchase price and actual bid and offer quotations, the compensation to
be received by the broker-dealer and certain associated persons, and
deliver certain disclosures required by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may affect the ability
of broker-dealers to make a market in or trade our shares and may also
affect your ability to resell any Shares you may purchase in this
Offering in the public markets.
12. Control of Our Company After the Offering.
If all the Shares we are offering in this Prospectus are sold,
which we can't guarantee, you, the purchasers, will own approximately
28.57% of our outstanding Common Stock and our existing Stockholders
will own approximately 71.43%. After completion of this Offering,
regardless of the number of Shares we sell, our existing Stockholders
will be in a position to elect all of our directors, appoint officers
and control our business affairs and operations. Our Articles of
12
Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting. Our existing
Stockholders do not intend to purchase any Shares in this Offering. See
"Principal Stockholders," "Certain Transactions" and "Description of
Securities."
13. Possible Issuance of Additional Shares; Further Dilution of Your
Investment
If all the Shares we are offering in this Prospectus are sold,
which we can't guarantee, there will still be 93,000,000 shares of
Common Stock which our Board of Directors will have authority to issue.
There are presently no commitments or contracts to issue any additional
shares to any persons. However, the issuance of any of these additional
shares will reduce the amount of your control in our Company and will
result in further dilution of the book value of your Shares. See
"Dilution of the Price You Pay for Your Shares," "Use of Proceeds,"
"Business," "Description of Securities," "Certain Transactions" and
"Financial Statements."
14. Conflicts of Interest.
This Offering will result in certain benefits to Hugh Grenfal Jr.
and Robert Jarva who are our only officers and directors, who own
shares of Common Stock and would, therefore, benefit from any increase
in the value and liquidity of the Common Stock resulting from the
creation of a public trading market for the Common Stock following this
Offering. There is no assurance that a public trading market will ever
develop for our stock. See "Principal Stockholders" and "Dilution of
the Price You Pay for Your Shares."
15. Possible Restrictions on the Resale of Your Shares.
All of our Common Stock issued and outstanding are restricted
securities and cannot be resold publicly, except in compliance with the
registration or exemption from registration requirements of the
applicable state securities laws, rules and regulations. See "Plan of
Distribution; Terms of the Offering."
16. We Cannot Assure a Public Trading Market for the Shares.
There is currently no active trading in our Common Stock and we
cannot guarantee you that an active trading market in our Shares will
develop in the near future, even if this Offering is successfully
completed; or, if a trading market is developed, that it can or will be
sustained for any period of time. There is a high risk that you not be
able to be resell any Shares you purchase in this Offering at or near
the Offering price, and in fact, we cannot guarantee that you will be
able to sell your Shares at all in the future. "See "Plan of
Distribution; Terms of the Offering."
13
17. You Will Incur Immediate and Substantial Dilution.
Our existing Stockholders acquired their shares at a cost
substantially less than that which you will pay for Shares you purchase
in this Offering. Accordingly, any investment you make in these Shares
will result in the immediate and substantial dilution of the net
tangible book value of those Shares. See "Dilution of the Price you Pay
for Your Shares" and "Financial Statements."
18. We Do Not Pay Cash Dividends on Our Common Stock.
No cash dividends have been paid on our Common Stock to date and
we do not anticipate paying cash dividends to Stockholders in the
foreseeable future. Any income we receive from operations will be
reinvested and devoted to our future business operations and/or to
expansion. See " Description of Securities."
19. Impact of Potential Future Sales of our Common Stock.
A total of 5,000,000 shares of our Common Stock were issued prior
to this Offering and are held by our officers and directors who hold
such shares as "restricted securities", as that term is defined in Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These
securities may only be sold in compliance with Rule 144 which provides,
in essence, that officers and directors and others holding restricted
securities may each sell, in brokerage transactions, an amount equal to
1% of our total outstanding Common Stock every three (3) months. In
addition, Rule 144 provides that shares may not be sold until they have
been held for a period of at least one (1) year from the date they were
fully paid for. These 5,000,000 shares of restricted Common Stock have
been issued and are fully paid for. Furthermore, persons holding
restricted securities for two (2) years, who are not"affiliates" of our
Company, as that term is defined in Rule 144, may sell their securities
pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions and/or limitations on the
number of shares sold.
The sale of any of these restricted securities may, in the future,
have a depressive effect on the price of our Common Stock in the
over-the-counter market, assuming there is such a market. See
"Principal Stockholders" and "Certain Transactions."
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
USE OF PROCEEDS
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
We have estimated the net proceeds from this Offering to be
approximately $150,000, assuming all Shares are sold, which we can't
guarantee, after deducting $50,000, for estimated offering expenses,
including legal and accounting fees. We expect to use the proceeds for
exploration and working capital.
14
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 limited 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 June 30,
1999, (i) on a historical basis and (ii) as adjusted to reflect the
sale of the Shares we are offering in this Prospectus at an assumed
initial public offering price of $0.10 per share, and the application
of the estimated net proceeds we will receive, assuming sale of all
Shares, which we cannot guarantee. See "Use of Proceeds."
This table should be read in conjunction with the section
entitled, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" our Financial Statements and Notes; and
other financial and operating data included elsewhere in this
Prospectus.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
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 June 30, 1999, the net tangible book value of our shares of
Common Stock (total assets, excluding intangible assets, less total
liabilities, excluding contingent liabilities) was a deficit of
$(11,638) or approximately $(0.002) per share (based upon 5,000,000
shares outstanding).
Upon completion of this Offering, but without taking into account
any change in such net tangible book value after completion of this
Offering, other than that resulting from the sale of Shares in this
Offering, the net tangible book value of the 7,000,000 Shares to be
outstanding, assuming all Shares are sold, which we can't guarantee,

BUSINESS
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
General
Our Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 10,
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 400 Burrard Street, Suite 1950,
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3A6. Our telephone number is
(604) 605-0885. See "Business - Office Facilities."
Description of Properties
In June 1999, we, through Hugh Grenfal our President and a member
of the Board of Directors entered into an Option to Purchase Agreement
with James Thom, an unrelated third party, to acquire 100% of the
rights, titles and interests in and to a total of two unpatented mining
claims in the Twelve Mile Creek, Kalso Area, Slocan Mining Division,
British Columbia, Canada, in exchange for US$10.00 in cash. On June 20,
1999, the Company, through Mr. Hugh Grenfal, our President, exercised
the option and acquired the mining claims. The claims are recorded in
Mr. Grefal's name for tax purposes, however, title to the claims has
been conveyed to the Company via an unrecorded deed.
The existing roads leading to our property are rough-graded dirt
and, during rainy weather, are sometimes inaccessible or washed out. To
date, we have not performed any geological work on any of our claims.
19
Location and Access
The property is located at the north end of the Kokanee Range in
the Selkirk Mountains, on the lower reaches of Twelve Mile Creek, a
tributary of the Kaslo River. It lies to the immediate south of Highway
31A, approximately 17 kilometers to the northwest of Kaslo.
The Utica mine road runs through the eastern part of the property.
This gravel road leads to the now abandoned Utica mine site, adjoining
to the south of the claim group. However, the bridge crossing the Kaslo
River has been removed and a washout 2 kilometers up from Highway 31A
make the road impassable to vehicles. Numerous overgrown logging roads
traverse the eastern portion of the claim group. A foot trail runs
northwest from the Utica mine road towards the showings in the center
of the claims.
At present the Kaslo River can be crossed either by wading or by
canoe. A helicopter can also provides access to the claims for
preliminary exploration. Any advanced stages of exploration and
development of the property would require the emplacement of a sturdy
bridge crossing the Kaslo River and access roads to the showings.
Physiography
The property lies between the elevations of 1,066 meters and 2,130
meters. The main areas of interest lie between approximately 1,200
meters and 1,800 meters. Slopes are in the range of 200 to 400, with
occasional bluffs. Vegetation is moderate to heavy at lower elevations,
particularly in areas of glacial cover. Higher elevations are more
lightly vegetated, with many areas of outcrop. There is ample timber
and water within the property to support all phases of exploration.
The property is snow free from June through November providing a
five to six month exploration season.
The property is within easy commuting distance of Kaslo. Kaslo
offers full facilities of a small town having a hotel, motel, bank and
supermarket. Nelson, which is one hour and a half to the south, is the
nearest major center.
History of Previous Work
Exploration in the area dates back to the turn of the century when
native guides led a group of prospectors northwest from the Ainsworth
Camp. The group subsequently located a high grade silver - lead
showing which was staked as the Noble Five claim. This discovery
initiated a staking rush in the area which led to the discovery and
development of a vast number of mineral deposits with over 300
properties having reached some form of production. Production records
show Silver, Lead, Zinc, Cobalt, Gold and Platinum Group Minerals
Elements were produced from these properties.
20
It should be noted that the British Columbia government production
records are incomplete as it was common practice for the miners in the
1910 to 1930 period to ship their ore south down Kootenay Lake and the
Kootenai River directly to mills at Coeur d'Alene in Idaho for
smelting.
The area saw a resurgence of activity during World War II as the
demand for Zinc and other base metals increased. Production in the
region has continued continuously through to the 1970s. Since that time
production has been mainly limited to custom miners and Teasers high
grading tailings and reserves of the old producers.
The claims adjoin the Utica Mine to the west. The Utica mine
produced in excess of 50,000 tons of high grade silver and lead ore.
Zinc is also reported in the mines production records.
The original showings on the Arch Silver Property were discovered
in the early 1900s. The majority of the development work was done in
the 1910 - 1926 period. The recorded production from the property is
less than 30 tons of hand cobbed Silver - Lead ore from three of the
six showings.
Regional Geology
The Arch property occurs within the central section of the
Kootenay Arc. The Arc is composed of a band of sedimentary, volcanic
and metamorphic rocks that extend from northern Washington State where
they strike northeasterly, to north of Revelstoke where they strike
northwesterly. The age of the rocks varies form Precambrian to
Jurassic.
The Milford Group is the lowest member of the stratigraphic
sequence exposed in the vicinity, and is of Mississippian to Permian
age. From the base the rocks consist of conglomerate, amygdaloidal
metabasaltic flows, limestone phyllite, sandstone and chert. This
sequence is itself underlain by rocks of the Lardeau Group.
The oldest rocks on the property are those of the Kaslo Group
which occur near the northeast comer of the property. These rocks are
thought to. be of upper Permian to lower Triassic in age and overlay
the Milford Group. The Kaslo Group rocks consist of mafic volcanic
breccia, andesite, basalt, chlorite schist, tuffaceous argiillite, talc
and serpentinite. Sills and small plugs of gabbro or diorite that
probably are of this group occur throughout the older sediments.
The Slocan Group is the youngest and is Upper Triassic in age.
this group consists of undifferentiated slate, argillite, limestone,
quartzite and tuffaceous sediments with some dolomite.
21
Property Geology
The Slocan Group covers most of the property and outcrops locally
as slate, limestone and argillite. The sediments were observed to have
a predominant strike of northwest with variable southwesterly dips.
These rocks are cut by both concordant and discordant dykes which
appear to be mostly felsic. The Slocan Group sediments are highly
metamorphosed in areas where they come into contact with the
intrusives.
The Nelson Batholith occurs along the southern edge of the
property and along two northwesterly trends within the center of the
property, and is of Jurrasic age. This batholith was observed during
the most recent examination of the property as consisting
of unaltered porphyritic granite with smaller stocks of quartz diorite.
Dyke-shaped intrusives trend northwesterly and north-northwesterly
through the northern balf of the property. The petrology of these dykes
varies from granite to quartz diorite and is of unknown age.
Our Proposed Exploration Program
Previous exploration work on adjacent properties has indicated
that mineral occurrences exist in the area of our properties; however,
further exploration and development is needed 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.
We believe there are numerous valuable unexplored and sometimes
unclaimed prospects in the area where our properties are located. Our
exploration program will be designed to economically explore, evaluate
and acquire properties which, in our opinion, may merit exploration.
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 intend to begin trenching the area. Trenches are
22
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, a channel of samples are
taken and then analyzed for economically 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, as viewed by our experts, has current
economic potential and whether further exploration is warranted.
Phase 2 will involve an initial examination of the underground
characteristics of the vein structure that was identified by Phase 1 of
exploration. Phase 2 will be aimed at identifying any mineral deposits
of potential economic importance. The methods which will be employed
are more extensive trenching, more advanced geophysical work and
ultimately drift driving to aid in the determination of subsurface
characteristics of the structure. The geophysical work is designed to
give a general understanding of the location and extent of
mineralization at depths that are unreachable by surface excavations
and provide a target for more extensive trenching and core drilling.
The trenching will identify the continuity and extent of
mineralization, if any, below the surface. After a thorough analysis of
the data collected in Phase 2, a determination will be made as to
whether or not the properties warrant a Phase 3 study.
Phase 3 will be aimed at precisely defining the depth, the width,
the length, the tonnage and the value per ton of any ore body, assuming
any are located on our properties, so that they can be considered
proven ore bodies within the stringent industry standards. This is
accomplished through extensive drift driving. An ore body is not a
proven ore body until it has been technically, economically and legally
proven.
Environmental Regulations
Environmental laws and regulations relating to public lands in
Canada are expected to be tightly enforced. We intend to explore and,
when required, develop all of our properties in strict compliance with
all environmental requirements applicable to the mineral processing and
mining industry. We will secure all the necessary permits for
exploration and, if development is warranted on any property, will file
final Plans of Operation prior to the commencement of any mining
operations. We anticipate no discharge of water into any active stream,
creek, river, lake or any other body of water regulated by
environmental law or regulation. No significant endangered species will
be disturbed. Re-contouring and re-vegetation of disturbed surface
areas will be completed pursuant to all Canadian provincial and local
legal requirements. Any portals, adits or shafts will be sealed upon
abandonment of a property. It is difficult to estimate the cost effects
23
of compliance with environmental laws inasmuch as the methods and
procedures of exploration within public lands are similar to those
methods and procedures already adopted by us as a matter of our Company
policy.
Government Regulations
We will be subject to all the laws, rules and regulations which
govern the mineral processing and mining industry in Canada. We intend
to fully comply with all environmental, health and safety laws, rules,
regulations and statutes.
Employees
Initially, we intend to use the services of subcontractors for all
exploration work on our properties. Our only direct employees will be
Hugh Grenfal and Robert Jarva, our officers and directors.
Employees and Employment Agreements
At present, we have no employees, other than Derick Sinclair, our
sole officer and director, who is not compensated for his services and
does not have an employment agreement 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.
Legal Proceeding
We are not involved in any pending legal proceeding.

This registration statement contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties. The statements contained in this
registration statement that are not purely historical are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, including without limitation statements regarding our
expectations, projections, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding
the future. All forward-looking statements included in this document
are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we
assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Our
actual results may differ materially as a result of certain factors,
including those set forth in the "Risk Factors" section of this
registration statement. Potential investors should consider carefully
the following factors, as well as the more detailed information
24
contained elsewhere in this registration statement, before making a
decision to invest in our Common Stock. The following discussion and
analysis should be read in conjunction with our Financial Statements
and Notes attached to this Prospectus.
Selected Financial Data
We are a start-up, development stage company and have not yet
generated or realized any revenues from our business operations.
The following historical financial data from inception on June 19,
1999 was derived from our financial statements, audited by Williams &

Limited Operating History; Need for Additional Capital
There is little to no historical financial information about our
Company upon which to base an evaluation of our performance or to make
a decision regarding an investment in Shares of our Common Stock. We
are still in the organizational stages and have not yet generated or
realized any revenues from operations. We cannot guarantee we will be
successful in our business operations or will achieve significant
levels of market acceptance for our proposed business. Our business
could be subject to any or all of the problems, expenses, delays and
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, possible cost overruns due to
25
price and cost increases in raw products and manufacturing processes,
and the absence of an operating history. Therefore, we cannot guarantee
we will be able to achieve or maintain profitable operations. Further,
there is no assurance that we will not encounter unforeseen
difficulties that may deplete our capital resources more rapidly than
anticipated.
To become and remain profitable and competitive, we will likely be
required to make significant investments into the research and
exploration of our properties before we would able to commence
production of any minerals we may find. We are seeking additional
equity financing in order to provide for the capital required to
implement our research and exploration phases and to expand our
business operations.
The timing and total amount of capital requirements cannot be
predicted at this time and we have no assurance that any financing will
be available to us on acceptable terms, as and when we need it, if at
all. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, as and
when needed, we may be unable to continue, develop or expand our
operations and our operating results may be adversely affected. Equity
financing could result in additional dilution to existing shareholders.
Results of Operations
From Inception on June 19, 1999
We are a development stage company and have not yet generated or
realized any revenues since inception. We just recently acquired our
first property (two claims) 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 and to repay outstanding indebtedness. Net
cash provided by financing activities from inception on June 19, 1999
to June 30, 1999 was $11,282, as a result of proceeds received from
sales of our Common Stock.
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 at $0.0023 per share
through a Section 4(2) offering in June 1999. The total proceeds we
received from the sale of the shares was $11,282 in cash and one mining
property.
26
As of June 30, 1999, our total assets were $362 and our total
liabilities were $12,000.
During 1999, we expect to incur additional costs for research and
exploration of our properties and for subcontractors, professional and
legal fees. Additional funding will be required to meet any additional
operating and/or expansion requirements.
We intend to take steps to raise equity capital; however, we
cannot guarantee that any new capital will be available to us or that
adequate funds for operations, whether from our revenues, financial
markets, collaborative or other arrangements with corporate partners or
from other sources, will be available as or when needed, or on terms
satisfactory to us. Our failure to obtain adequate additional financing
may require us to delay, curtail or scale back some or all of our
development programs, sales and marketing efforts and, potentially, to
cease our operations. Any additional equity financing may involve
substantial dilution to our then-existing shareholders.
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 have developed and are
implementing a plan to become Year 2000 ready (the "Year 2000 Plan").
The Year 2000 Plan covers (i) the computers and technology which we
will in the research and exploration of our properties. In addition,
the Year 2000 Plan calls for us to identify and assess the systems and
services of our major vendors and other material service providers
("Third Party Providers"), and take appropriate remedial actions and
develop contingency plans where appropriate in connection with such
Third Party Providers. Since we have not yet commenced business
operations, we do not yet have any major vendors; however, we intend to
continue to evaluate and assess the systems of any Third Party
Providers we engage in the future to identify and eliminate Year 2000
issues in order to timely achieve Year 2000 readiness and avoid any
disruption of the services and/or information required to continue our
business operations.
27
Year 2000 Costs
To date, we have incurred no historical costs associated with our
Year 2000 readiness efforts 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, software or other systems, including the disruption of
operations, a temporary inability to operate or engage in normal
business activities. 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. Specifically, we will be heavily dependent on a
significant number of third-party vendors to provide 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 considerable delay in our proposed research and explorations which in
turn could materially and adversely affect our results of operations,
liquidity and financial condition. We are not presently aware of any
vendor-related Year 2000 issues that are likely to result in such a
disruption, however, there is no assurance they will not occur in the
future. Although there is inherent uncertainty in the Year 2000 issue,
we expect that as we progress with our Year 2000 Plan, the level of
uncertainty about the impact of the Year 2000 issue on our business
operations will be reduced and we will be better positioned to identify
the nature and extent of our material risks as a result of any Year
2000 disruptions.
Year 2000 Contingency Plans
Due to the current stage of our Year 2000 Plan, we are unable to
fully assess our risks and determine what contingency plans, if any,
need to be implemented. As we progress with our Year 2000 Plan and
identify specific risk areas, we intend to timely implement appropriate
remedial actions and contingency plans.
These estimates and conclusions contain forward-looking statements
and are based on our best estimates of future events. Our expectations
about risks, future costs and the timely completion of our Year 2000
efforts are subject to uncertainties that could cause actual results to
differ materially from what has been discussed above. Factors that
could influence risks, amount of future costs and the effective timing
of remediation efforts include our success in identifying and
correcting potential Year 2000 issues and the ability of third parties
to appropriately address their Year 2000 issues. See "Risk Factors -
The Year 2000 Issue."

can be publicly sold, subject to volume restrictions and certain
restrictions on the manner of sale, commencing one (1) year after their

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Common Stock
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of
Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share. The holders of our Common
Stock (i) have equal ratable rights to dividends from funds legally
available therefor, when, as and if declared by our Board of Directors;
(ii) are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets available for
distribution to holders of Common Stock upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of our affairs; (iii) do not have preemptive,
subscription or conversion rights and there are no redemption or
sinking fund provisions or rights; and (iv) are entitled to one
non-cumulative vote per share on all matters on which stockholders may
vote. All shares of Common Stock now outstanding are fully paid for
and non-assessable and all shares of Common Stock which are the subject
of this Offering, when issued, will be fully paid for and
non-assessable. We refer you to our Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws
and the applicable statutes of the State of Nevada for a more complete
description of the rights and liabilities of holders of our securities.
Non-cumulative Voting
Holders of shares of our Common Stock do not have cumulative
voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all
of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event,
the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of
our directors. After this Offering is completed, the present
stockholders will own approximately 97% of our outstanding shares. See
"Principal Stockholders" and "Certain Transactions."
Cash Dividends
As of the date of this Memorandum, we have not paid any cash
dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend
will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend
upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial
position, our general economic conditions, and other pertinent
conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends
in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, in
our business operations.

Reports
After we complete this Offering, we will be subject to certain
reporting requirements and will furnish annual financial reports to our
stockholders, certified by our independent accountants, and may, in our
discretion, furnish unaudited quarterly financial reports.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
In June 1999 a total of 5,000,000 shares of restricted Common
Stock were issued to Hugh Grenfal and Robert Jarva, officers and
directors of our Company, in exchange for $262 and one mining property
consisting of two claims.
Since inception of our Company, Mr. Grenfal, advanced loans to us
in the total sum of $12,000, which were used for organizational and
start-up costs and operating capital. The loans do not bear interest
and have not been paid as of the date hereof.
In June 1999, we entered into an Option to Purchase Agreement with
James Thom, an unrelated third party, and acquired 100% of the rights,
titles and interests in and to a total of two unpatented mining claims
in consideration of $10.00. In addition, the Option Agreement requires
us to complete a minimum of CDN$80,000 in exploration and development
work on the properties on or before September 1, 1999. On March 16,
1999, we exercised the Option and acquired the mining claims.

Independent Auditor's Report
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Paxton Mining
Corporation, (a development stage enterprise), as of June 30, 1999, and
the related statements of operations and accumulated deficit,
stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the period from June
10, 1999 (inception) to June 30, 1999. 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 Paxton
Mining Corporation, as of June 30, 1999, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the period from June 10, 1999
(inception) to June 30, 1999, 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 development stage since its inception on
June 10, 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1999
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Paxton Mining Corporation (hereinafter "the Company") was incorporated
on June 10, 1999 under the laws of the State of Nevada for the purpose
of acquiring, exploring and developing mining properties. The Company
maintains offices in Las Vegas, Nevada and in Vancouver, British
Columbia. The Company's fiscal year end is June 30.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Paxton Mining
Corporation 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.
Development Stage Activities
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation in
June 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.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern.
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company incurred
a net loss of $23,282 for the year ended June 30, 1999 and had no
sales. The future of the Company is dependent upon its ability to
obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the
development of its mineral properties. Management has plans to seek
additional capital through a private placement 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 classification 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.

PAXTON MINING CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1999
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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.
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 June 30, 1999, the Company had net operating loss of approximately
$23,000. 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-lived Assets."
This standard is effective for years beginning after December 15,
1995. 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 does not believe
any adjustments are needed to the carrying value of its assets at
June 30, 1999.

NOTE 3 COMMON STOCK
On June 20, 1999, 5,000,000 shares of common stock were issued to
officers and directors in payment of their services, valued at $10,000
and payment of $1,282 in expenses pursuant to exemption from
registration contained in Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
In June, 1999 the Company, through Hugh Grenfal, President and a member
of the Board of Directors entered into an Option to Purchase Agreement
with an unrelated third party, to acquire 100% of the rights, titles
and interests in and to a total of three unpatented mining claims in
the Twelve Mile Creek, Kalso Area, Slocan Mining Division, B.C. Canada
in exchange for $10 in cash. The Company, through Mr. Grenfal,
exercised the option and acquired the mining claims. The claims are
recorded in Mr. Grenfal's name for tax purposes, however, title to the
claims has been conveyed to the Company via an unrecorded deed.
NOTE 4 RELATED PARTIES
The Company occupies office space provided by Hugh Grenfal, the
President of the Company, in his capacity as Vice President and
Director of Callinan Mines Limited at no charge. The value of this
space is not considered materially significant for financial reporting
purposes.
Hugh Grenfal, the President of the Company, has advanced monies to the
Company to open a checking account and in payment of expenses. These
have been recorded as short-term loans, bearing no interest and having
no specific due date.
NOTE 5 YEAR 2000 ISSUES
Like other companies, Paxton Mining Corporation could be adversely
affected if the computer systems the Company, its suppliers or
customers use do not properly process and calculate date-related
information and data from the period surrounding and including January
1, 2000. This is commonly known as the "Year 2000" issue.
Additionally, this issue could impact non-computer systems and devices
such as production equipment and elevators, etc. At this time, because
of the complexities involved in the issue, management cannot provide
assurance that the Year 2000 issue will not have an impact on the
Company's operations. Any costs associated with Year 2000 compliance
are expensed when incurred.

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:
44
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.
