SUMMARY
AS USED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, UNLESS THE CONTEXT OTHERWISE REQUIRES, "WE," "US,"
"OUR," AND "CENTAURUS" REFERS TO CENTAURUS RESOURCES CORP. THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY
IS NOT COMPLETE AND DOES NOT CONTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT MAY BE
IMPORTANT TO YOU. YOU SHOULD READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS BEFORE MAKING AN
INVESTMENT DECISION TO PURCHASE OUR COMMON STOCK.
CENTAURUS RESOURCES CORP.
We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration
of mineral properties. Centaurus Resources Corp. was incorporated in the State
of Delaware on July 23, 2007. We intend to use the net proceeds from this
offering to develop our business operations (See "Business of Company" and "Use
of Proceeds"). We are an exploration stage company with no revenues or operating
history. The principal executive offices are located at 721 Devon Court, San
Diego, CA 92109.
We received our initial funding of $15,000 through the sale of common stock to
our director who purchased 1,500,000 shares of common stock at $.01 per share on
August 13, 2007. From inception until the date of this filing, we have had no
operating activities. Our financial statement from inception (July 23, 2007)
through the year ended August 31, 2007 report no revenues and a net loss of
$9,027. Our independent auditor has issued an audit opinion for Centaurus
Resources Corp. which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to
our ability to continue as a going concern.
We currently own a 100% undivided interest in a mineral property, the Whale 1 &
2 Lode Claims located in the State of Nevada that we call the "Whale Property."
The Whale Property consists of an area of approximately 40 acres located in the
Yellow Pine Mining District in Clark County, Nevada. Title to the Whale Property
is held by Centaurus Resources Corp. Our plan of operation is to conduct mineral
exploration activities on the Whale Property in order to assess whether it
possess deposits of minerals capable of commercial extraction.
We have not earned any revenues to date. We do not anticipate earning revenues
until such time as we enter into commercial production of our mineral
properties. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can
provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of
mineral resources on our property, or if such deposits are discovered, that we
will enter into further substantial exploration programs.
As of the date of this prospectus, there is no public trading market for our
common stock and no assurance that a trading market for our securities will ever
develop.

GLOSSARY OF TECHNICAL GEOLOGICAL TERMS
The following defined technical geological terms are used in our prospectus:
Anglesite A native sulphate of lead. It occurs in white or
yellowish transparent, prismatic crystals.
Azurite Blue carbonate of copper; blue malachite.
Basalt A general term for dark-colored mafic igneous rocks,
commonly extrusive but locally intrusive (e.g., as in
dikes).
Breccia A rock in which angular fragments are surrounded by a
mass of fine-grained minerals.
Brecciated The formation of angular rock fragments.
Calamine A white mineral; a common ore of zinc.
Carbonate A salt or ester of carbonic acid.
Cerussite A mineral consisting of lead carbonate that is an
important source of lead.
Chrysocolla A hydrous silicate of copper, occurring massive, of a
blue or greenish blue color.
Cinnabar A heavy reddish mineral consisting of mercuric
sulfide; the chief source of mercury.
Clastic Fragments of minerals, rocks, or organic structures
that have been moved individually from their places
of origin.
Cretaceous Rocks laid down during the last period of the
Mesozoic era (between the Jurassic and Tertiary
periods, about 146 to 65 million years ago), at the
end of which dinosaurs and many other organisms died
out.
Diamond drill(ing) A rotary type of rock drill in which the cutting is
done by abrasion rather than percussion. The cutting
bit is set with diamonds and is attached to the end
of long hollow rods through which water or other
fluid is pumped to the cutting face as a lubricant.
The drill cuts a core of rock that is recovered in
long cylindrical sections, two centimeters or more in
diameter.
Fault Zones A network of interconnected fractures
representing the surficial expression of a fault.
Fold A planar feature, such as a bedding plane, that has
been strongly warped, presumably by deformation.
4
Galena The chief ore of lead, commonly found in shallow ore
veins in which open cavities are frequent; hence,
crystals are common and well developed. Galena is
widely distributed and constitutes by far the most
important ore for lead. Silver, antimony, arsenic,
copper, and zinc minerals often occur in intimate
association with galena; consequently, galena ores
mined for lead also include other valuable
by-products. Granite Plutonic igneous rock having
visibly crystalline texture; generally composed of
feldspar and mica and quartz.
Hydrozincite An abundant element of the magnesium-cadmium group,
extracted principally from the minerals zinc blend,
smithsonite, calamine, and franklinite, as an easily
fusible bluish white metal, which is malleable,
especially when heated.
Igneous A type of rock which has been formed by the
consolidation of magma, a molten substance from the
earth's core.
Intrusive A body of igneous rock formed by the consolidation of
magma intruded into other rocks, in contrast to
lavas, which are extruded upon the surface.
Jurassic Second Period of Mesozoic Era, which covered span of
time between 190 - 135 million years before the
present time.
Limestone A bedded, sedimentary deposit consisting chiefly of
calcium carbonate.
Limonite A widely occurring iron oxide ore; a mixture of
goethite and hematite and lepidocrocite.
Lode A mineral deposit in solid rock.
Malachite Green mineral used as an ore of copper and for making
ornamental objects.
Mesozoic One of the eras of geologic time. It includes the
Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
Mineralization The concentration of metals and their chemical
compounds within a body of rock.
Monte Cristo Limestone
Formation A local name for a geological series of rocks.
Normal Fault A dip-slip fault in which the block above the fault
has moved downward relative to the block below.
Ore A mixture of minerals and gangue from which at least
one metal can be extracted at a profit.
Oxidization A chemical reaction caused by exposure to oxygen that
results in a change in the chemical composition of a
mineral
Paleozoic Rocks that were laid down during the Paleozoic Era
(between 544 and 230 million years before the present
time).
Porphyritic Containing relatively large isolated crystals in a
mass of fine texture.
Porphyry A heterogeneous rock characterized by the presence of
crystals in a relatively finer-grained matrix.
5
Pyrite The most common of the sulphide minerals. It is
usually found associated with other sulphides or
oxides in quartz veins, sedimentary rock and
metamorphic rock, as well as in coal beds, and as the
replacement mineral in fossils.
Quartz A mineral whose composition is silicon dioxide. A
crystalline form of silica.
Sedimentary A type of rock which has been created by the
deposition of solids from a liquid.
Smithsonite Native zinc carbonate. It generally occurs in
stalactitic, reniform, or botryoidal shapes, of a
white to gray, green, or brown color.
Stratigraphy Strictly, the description of bedded rock sequences;
used loosely, the sequence of bedded rocks in a
particular area.
Structural Pertaining to geologic structure.
Tertiary Relating to the first period of the Cenozoic era,
about 65 to 1.64 million years ago.
Thrust Faults (Faulting) A dip-slip fault in which the upper block above the
fault plane moves up and over the lower block, so
that older strata are placed over younger. Trenching
The removal of overburden to expose the underlying
bedrock.
Triassic The system of strata that was deposited between 210
and 250 million years before the present time.
Vein An occurrence of ore with an irregular development in
length, width and depth usually from an intrusion of
igneous rock.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should
carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this
prospectus before investing in our common stock. If any of the following risks
occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be
seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock, when and if we trade at
a later date, could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or
part of your investment.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY:
WE ARE AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANY BUT HAVE NOT YET COMMENCED EXPLORATION
ACTIVITIES ON OUR CLAIMS. WE EXPECT TO INCUR OPERATING LOSSES FOR THE
FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
We have not yet commenced exploration on the Whale 1 & 2 Lode Claims.
Accordingly, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be
successful. We were incorporated on July 23, 2007 and to date have been involved
primarily in organizational activities and the acquisition of the mineral
claims. We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this prospectus.
Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by
new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such
enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the
problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in
connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to
undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to,
unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and
expenses that may exceed current estimates. Prior to completion of our
6
exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses
without realizing any revenues. We expect to incur significant losses into the
foreseeable future. We recognize that if production of minerals from the claims
is not forthcoming, we will not be able to continue business operations. There
is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we
will prove successful, and it is doubtful that we will generate any operating
revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in
addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.
WITHOUT THE FUNDING FROM THIS OFFERING WE WILL BE UNABLE TO IMPLEMENT OUR
BUSINESS PLAN.
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete the intended
exploration program on our mineral claim. We will need the funds from this
offering to complete our business plan. As of August 31, 2007, we had cash in
the amount of $5,973. We currently do not have any operations and we have no
income.
WE HAVE YET TO EARN REVENUE AND OUR ABILITY TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS IS
DEPENDENT ON OUR ABILITY TO RAISE FINANCING. AS A RESULT, OUR ACCOUNTANT
BELIEVES THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING
CONCERN.
We have accrued net losses of $9,027 for the period from our inception on July
23, 2007 to August 31, 2007, and have no revenues to date. Our future is
dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable
operations from the development of our mineral claims. These factors raise
substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern. Chang G.
Park, CPA, our independent auditor, has expressed substantial doubt about our
ability to continue as a going concern. This opinion could materially limit our
ability to raise additional funds by issuing new debt or equity securities or
otherwise. If we fail to raise sufficient capital when needed, we will not be
able to complete our business plan. As a result we may have to liquidate our
business and you may lose your investment. You should consider our auditor's
comments when determining if an investment in Centaurus Resources Corp. is
suitable.
BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE DIFFICULTIES AND UNCERTAINTIES INHERENT IN MINERAL
EXPLORATION VENTURES, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.
You should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral
exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The
likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses,
difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the
exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential
problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to
exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current
estimates. The Whale Property does not contain a known body of any commercial
minerals and, therefore, any program conducted on the Whale Property would be an
exploratory search of any minerals. There is no certainty that any expenditures
made in the exploration of the Whale Property will result in discoveries of any
commercial quantities of minerals. Most exploration projects do not result in
the discovery of commercially mineable mineral deposits. Problems such as
unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are common to mineral
exploration activities and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If
the results of our exploration program do not reveal viable commercial
mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claim and acquire new claims for
new exploration. Our ability to acquire additional claims will be dependent upon
our possessing adequate capital resources when needed. If no funding is
available, we may be forced to abandon our operations.
WE HAVE NO KNOWN MINERAL RESERVES AND IF WE CANNOT FIND ANY, WE MAY HAVE TO
CEASE OPERATIONS.
We have no mineral reserves. If we do not find any commercially exploitable
mineral reserves or if we cannot complete the exploration of any mineral
reserves, either because we do not have the money to do so or because it is not
economically feasible to do so, we may have to cease operations and you may lose
your investment. Mineral exploration is highly speculative. It involves many
7
risks and is often non-productive. Even if we are able to find mineral reserves
on our property our production capability will be subject to further risks
including:
- The costs of bringing the property into production including
exploration work, preparation of production feasibility studies, and
construction of production facilities, all of which we have not
budgeted for;
- The availability and costs of financing;
- The ongoing costs of production; and
- Risks related to environmental compliance regulations and restraints.
The marketability of any minerals acquired or discovered may be affected by
numerous factors which are beyond our control and which cannot be accurately
predicted, such as market fluctuations, the lack of milling facilities and
processing equipment near the Whale Property, and other factors such as
government regulations, including regulations relating to allowable production,
the importing and exporting of minerals, and environmental protection.
Given the above noted risks, the chances of our finding and commercially
exploiting reserves on our mineral properties are remote and funds expended on
exploration will likely be lost.
BECAUSE OF THE INHERENT DANGERS INVOLVED IN MINERAL EXPLORATION, THERE IS A RISK
THAT WE MAY INCUR LIABILITY OR DAMAGES AS WE CONDUCT OUR BUSINESS.
The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may
become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and
other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not
to insure. At the present time we have no insurance to cover against these
hazards. The payment of such liabilities may result in our inability to complete
our planned exploration program and/or obtain additional financing to fund our
exploration program.
AS WE UNDERTAKE EXPLORATION OF OUR MINERAL CLAIMS, WE WILL BE SUBJECT TO
COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION THAT MAY INCREASE THE ANTICIPATED COST OF
OUR EXPLORATION PROGRAM.
There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral
exploration. We will be subject to the laws of the State of Nevada as we carry
out our exploration program. We may be required to obtain work permits, post
bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in
order to comply with these laws. If we enter the production phase, the cost of
complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater because
the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control
all aspects of the production program if the project continues to that stage.
Examples of regulatory requirements include:
(a) Water discharge will have to meet drinking water standards;
(b) Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise re-mediated;
(c) Dumping of material on the surface will have to be re-contoured and
re-vegetated with natural vegetation;
(d) An assessment of all material to be left on the surface will need to
be environmentally benign;
(e) Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential contaminants;
(f) The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be evaluated and
if deemed negative, will have to be remediated; and
(g) There will have to be an impact report of the work on the local fauna
and flora including a study of potentially endangered species.
8
There is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business
and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program. We will also have to
sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation for all
exploration work undertaken. Both reclamation and environmental remediation
refer to putting disturbed ground back as close to its original state as
possible. Other potential pollution or damage must be cleaned-up and renewed
along standard guidelines outlined in the usual permits. Reclamation is the
process of bringing the land back to its natural state after completion of
exploration activities. Environmental remediation refers to the physical
activity of taking steps to remediate, or remedy, any environmental damage
caused. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know
the extent of the exploration program that will be undertaken beyond completion
of the recommended work program. If remediation costs exceed our cash reserves
we may be unable to complete our exploration program and have to abandon our
operations.
BECAUSE OUR SOLE OFFICER/DIRECTOR DOES NOT HAVE FORMAL TRAINING SPECIFIC TO THE
TECHNICALITIES OF MINERAL EXPLORATION, THERE IS A HIGHER RISK OUR BUSINESS WILL
FAIL.
Our sole officer and director is Robert C. Weaver, Jr. Mr. Weaver has no formal
training as a geologist or in the technical aspects of management of a mineral
exploration company. With no direct training or experience in these areas, our
management may not be fully aware of the specific requirements related to
working within this industry. Our management's decisions and choices may not
take into account standard engineering or managerial approaches mineral
exploration companies commonly use. Consequently, our operations, earnings, and
ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable harm due to management's
lack of experience in this industry.
THERE IS A RISK THAT OUR PROPERTY DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY KNOWN BODIES OF ORE
RESULTING IN ANY FUNDS SPENT ON EXPLORATION BEING LOST.
There is the likelihood of our mineral claim containing little or no economic
mineralization or reserves. We have a geological report detailing previous
exploration in the area, and the claim has been staked per Nevada regulations.
However, there is the possibility that previous work conducted was not carried
out properly and our claim does not contain any reserves, resulting in any funds
spent on exploration being lost.
BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT SURVEYED THE WHALE 1 & 2 LODE CLAIMS, WE MAY DISCOVER
MINERALIZATION ON THE CLAIMS THAT IS NOT WITHIN OUR CLAIM BOUNDARIES.
While we have conducted a mineral claim title search, this should not be
construed as a guarantee of claim boundaries. Until the claim is surveyed, the
precise location of the boundaries of the claim may be in doubt. If we discover
mineralization that is close to the claim boundaries, it is possible that some
or all of the mineralization may occur outside the boundaries. In such a case we
would not have the right to extract those minerals.
IF WE DISCOVER COMMERCIAL RESERVES OF PRECIOUS METALS ON OUR MINERAL PROPERTY,
WE CAN PROVIDE NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY ADVANCE THE
MINERAL CLAIMS INTO COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION.
If our exploration program is successful in establishing ore of commercial
tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in order to advance the
claim into commercial production. Obtaining additional financing would be
subject to a number of factors, including the market price for the minerals,
investor acceptance of our claims and general market conditions. These factors
may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing
unavailable to us. The most likely source of future funds is through the sale of
equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing
shareholders. We may be unable to obtain any such funds, or to obtain such funds
on terms that we consider economically feasible and you may lose any investment
you make in this offering.
9
IF ACCESS TO OUR MINERAL CLAIMS IS RESTRICTED BY INCLEMENT WEATHER, WE MAY BE
DELAYED IN OUR EXPLORATION AND ANY FUTURE MINING EFFORTS.
It is possible that snow or rain could cause the mining roads providing access
to our claims to become impassable. If the roads are impassable we would be
delayed in our exploration timetable.
BASED ON CONSUMER DEMAND, THE GROWTH AND DEMAND FOR ANY ORE WE MAY RECOVER FROM
OUR CLAIMS MAY BE SLOWED, RESULTING IN REDUCED REVENUES TO THE COMPANY.
Our success will be dependent on the growth of demand for ores. If consumer
demand slows our revenues may be significantly affected. This could limit our
ability to generate revenues and our financial condition and operating results
may be harmed.
BECAUSE OUR CURRENT OFFICER/DIRECTOR HAS OTHER BUSINESS INTERESTS, HE MAY NOT BE
ABLE OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS
OPERATIONS, CAUSING OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
Mr. Robert C. Weaver, Jr., our officer and director, currently devotes
approximately 5 hours per week providing management services to us. While he
presently possesses adequate time to attend to our interest, it is possible that
the demands on him from other obligations could increase, with the result that
he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our
company. This could negatively impact our business development.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING:
THE TRADING IN OUR SHARES WILL BE REGULATED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION RULE 15G-9 WHICH ESTABLISHED THE DEFINITION OF A "PENNY STOCK."
The shares being offered are defined as a penny stock under the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, and rules of the 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 who are, 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 ($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 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
Commission. Consequently, the penny stock rules may make it difficult for you to
resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.
WE ARE SELLING THIS OFFERING WITHOUT AN UNDERWRITER AND MAY BE UNABLE TO SELL
ANY SHARES.
This offering is self-underwritten, that is, we are not going to engage the
services of an underwriter to sell the shares; we intend to sell them through
our officer and director, who will receive no commission. He will offer the
shares to friends, family members and business associates; however, there is no
guarantee that he will be able to sell any of the shares. Unless he is
successful in selling all of the shares and we receive the proceeds from this
offering, we may have to seek alternative financing to implement out business
plan.
DUE TO THE LACK OF A TRADING MARKET FOR OUR SECURITIES, YOU MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY
SELLING ANY SHARES YOU PURCHASE IN THIS OFFERING.
We are not registered on any public stock exchange. There is presently no demand
for our common stock and no public market exists for the shares being offered in
this prospectus. We plan to contact a market maker immediately following the
completion of the offering and apply to have the shares quoted on the OTC
Electronic Bulletin Board (OTCBB). The OTCBB is a regulated quotation service

that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices and volume information in
over-the-counter (OTC) securities. The OTCBB is not an issuer listing service,
market or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements
per se, to be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB, issuers must remain current
in their filing with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority. Market makers
are not permitted to begin quotation of a security whose issuer does not meet
his filing requirement. Securities already quoted on the OTCBB that become
delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 to 60 day
grace period if he do not make their required filing during that time. We cannot
guarantee that our application will be accepted or approved and our stock listed
and quoted for sale. As of the date of this filing, there have been no
discussions or understandings between Centaurus Resources Corp. or anyone acting
on our behalf, with any market maker regarding participation in a future trading
market for our securities. If no market is ever developed for our common stock,
it will be difficult for you to sell any shares you purchase in this offering.
In such a case, you may find that you are unable to achieve any benefit from
your investment or liquidate your shares without considerable delay, if at all.
In addition, if we fail to have our common stock quoted on a public trading
market, your common stock will not have a quantifiable value and it may be
difficult, if not impossible, to ever resell your shares, resulting in an
inability to realize any value from your investment.
YOU WILL INCUR IMMEDIATE AND SUBSTANTIAL DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR
SHARES.
Our existing shareholder, Mr. Robert C. Weaver, Jr., acquired his shares at a
cost of $.01 per share, a cost per share substantially less than that which you
will pay for the shares you purchase in this offering. Upon completion of this
offering the net tangible book value of the shares held by our existing
shareholder (1,500,000 shares) will be increased by $.016 per share without any
additional investment on his part. The purchasers of shares in this offering
will incur immediate dilution (a reduction in the net tangible book value per
share from the offering price of $.025 (per share) or $.013 per share. As a
result, after completion of the offering, the net tangible book value of the
shares held by purchasers in this offering would be $.012 per share, reflecting
an immediate reduction in the $.025 per share they paid for their shares.
WE WILL BE HOLDING ALL THE PROCEEDS FROM THE OFFERING IN A STANDARD BANK
CHECKING ACCOUNT UNTIL ALL SHARES ARE SOLD. BECAUSE THE SHARES ARE NOT HELD IN
AN ESCROW OR TRUST ACCOUNT THERE IS A RISK YOUR MONEY WILL NOT BE RETURNED IF
ALL THE SHARES ARE NOT SOLD.
All funds received from the sale of shares in this offering will be deposited
into a standard bank checking account until all shares are sold and the offering
is closed, at which time, the proceeds will be transferred to our business
operating account. In the event all shares are not sold we have committed to
promptly return all funds to the original purchasers. However since the funds
will not be placed into an escrow, trust or other similar account, there can be
no guarantee that any third party creditor who may obtain a judgment or lien
against us would not satisfy the judgment or lien by executing on the bank
account where the offering proceeds are being held, resulting in a loss of any
investment you make in our securities.
WE WILL INCUR ONGOING COSTS AND EXPENSES FOR SEC REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE.
WITHOUT REVENUE WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT
FOR INVESTORS TO SELL THEIR SHARES, IF AT ALL.
Our business plan allows for the payment of the estimated $5,000 cost of this
registration statement to be paid from existing cash on hand. If necessary, Mr.
Weaver, our director, has verbally agreed to loan the company funds to complete
the registration process. We plan to contact a market maker immediately
following the close of the offering and apply to have the shares quoted on the
OTC Electronic Bulletin Board. To be eligible for quotation, issuers must remain
current in their filings with the SEC. In order for us to remain in compliance
we will require future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could
comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources. If we are unable
to generate sufficient revenues to remain in compliance it may be difficult for
you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all.

MR. WEAVER, A DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY, BENEFICIALLY OWNS 100% OF THE OUTSTANDING
SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK. AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THIS OFFERING HE WILL OWN
60% OF THE OUTSTANDING SHARES. IF HE CHOOSES TO SELL HIS SHARES IN THE FUTURE,
IT MIGHT HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE PRICE OF OUR STOCK.
Due to the amount of Mr. Weaver's share ownership in our company, if he chooses
to sell his shares in the public market, the market price of our stock could
decrease and all shareholders suffer a dilution of the value of their stock. If
he does sell any of his common stock, he will be subject to Rule 144 under the
1933 Securities Act. Rule 144 restricts the ability of our director to sell
shares by limiting the sales of securities during any three-month period to the
greater of (1) 1% of the outstanding common stock of the issuer; or (2) the
average weekly reported trading volume in the outstanding common stock reported
on all securities exchanges during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing
of the required notice of the sale under Rule 144 with the SEC.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and
uncertainties. We use words such as "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "expect",
"future", "intend", and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking
statements. Investors should be aware that all forward-looking statements
contained within this filing are good faith estimates of management as of the
date of this filing. Our actual results could differ materially from those
anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the
risks faced by us as described in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in
this prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Assuming sale of all of the shares offered herein, of which there is no
assurance, the net proceeds from this offering will be $25,000. The proceeds are
expected to be disbursed, in the priority set forth below, during the first
twelve (12) months after the successful completion of the offering:
Planned Expenditures Over
Category The Next 12 Months
-------- ------------------
Phase 1 Exploration Program $ 5,500
Phase 2 Exploration Program $10,000
Legal and Accounting $ 9,500
TOTAL PROCEEDS TO COMPANY $25,000
We will establish a separate bank account and all proceeds will be deposited
into that account until the total amount of the offering is received and all
shares are sold, at which time the funds will be released to us for use in our
operations. In the event we do not sell all of the shares before the expiration
date of the offering, all funds will be returned promptly to the subscribers,
without interest or deduction. If necessary, Mr. Weaver, our director, has
verbally agreed to loan the company funds to complete the registration process
but we will require full funding to implement our complete business plan.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price of the shares has been determined arbitrarily by us. The
price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings, or
other established criteria for valuing a privately held company. In determining
the number of shares to be offered and the offering price, we took into
consideration our cash on hand and the amount of money we would need to
implement our business plans. Accordingly, the offering price should not be
considered an indication of the actual value of the securities.
12
DILUTION
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 shareholders.
As of August 31, 2007, the net tangible book value of our shares was $5,973 or
$.004 per share, based upon 1,500,000 shares outstanding.
Upon completion of this offering, but without taking into account any change in
the net tangible book value after completion of this offering other than that
resulting from the sale of the shares and receipt of the total proceeds of
$25,000, the net tangible book value of the 2,500,000 shares to be outstanding
will be $30,973, or approximately $.012 per share. Accordingly, the net tangible
book value of the shares held by our existing stockholder (1,500,000 shares)
will be increased by $.016 per share without any additional investment on his
part. The purchasers of shares in this offering will incur immediate dilution (a
reduction in the net tangible book value per share from the offering price of
$.025 (per share) or $.013 per share. As a result, after completion of the
offering, the net tangible book value of the shares held by purchasers in this
offering would be $.012 per share, reflecting an immediate reduction in the
$.025 price per share he paid for their shares. After completion of the
offering, the existing shareholder will own 60% of the total number of shares
then outstanding, for which he will have made an investment of $15,000 or $.01
per share. Upon completion of the offering, the purchasers of these shares
offered hereby will own 40% of the total number of shares then outstanding, for
which he will have made cash investment of $25,000, or $.025 per share.
The following table illustrates the per share dilution to the new investors:
Public Offering Price Per Share $.025
Net Tangible Book Value Prior to this Offering $.004
Net Tangible Book Value After Offering $.012

(1) A beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or
indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship,
or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to
vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which
includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain
shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if,
for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the
shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a
person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon
exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the
information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any
person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of
shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason
of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding
shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect
the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of
shares of common stock actually outstanding on September 27, 2007. As of
September 27, 2007, there were 1,500,000 shares of our common stock issued

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION OF INDEMNIFICATION
FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we will indemnify an officer,
director, or former officer or director, to the full extent permitted by law. We
have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by one of our director, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the
securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit the question of
whether such indemnification is against public policy to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction. We will then be governed by the court's decision.
ORGANIZATION WITHIN LAST FIVE YEARS
Centaurus Resources Corp. was incorporated on July 23, 2007 under the laws of
the State of Delaware. We are engaged in the business of acquisition,
exploration and development of natural resource properties.
Robert C. Weaver, Jr. serves as officer and director of our company from
inception (July 23, 2007) to current date. No other person other than Mr. Weaver
has acted as a promoter of Centaurus Resources Corp. since our inception. Other
than Mr. Weaver's purchase of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock on August 13,
2007, Mr. Weaver has not entered into any agreement with us in which he is to
receive from us or provide to us anything of value. Mr. Weaver purchased the
1,500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $.01 per share for a total of
$15,000.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
IN GENERAL
We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition and exploration
of mineral properties. We acquired a 100% undivided interest in the Whale 1 & 2
Lode Claims (the "Whale Property") which is comprised of two located claims of
20 acres each located in the Yellow Pine Mining District, Clark County, Nevada.
Our plan of operation is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Whale
Property in order to assess whether it contains any commercial exploitable
deposits of zinc or other minerals of commercial extraction. Currently there are
no known mineral reserves on the Whale Property.
18
We have not earned any revenues to date. Our independent auditor has issued an
audit opinion which includes a statement expressing substantial doubt as to our
ability to continue as a going concern. There is the likelihood of our mineral
claim containing little or no economic mineralization or reserves of zinc or
other minerals. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we
can provide no assurance that any commercially viable mineral deposits exist on
our mineral claims, that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of
mineral resources on our property, or, if such deposits are discovered, that we
will enter into further substantial exploration programs. Further exploration is
required before a final determination can be made as to whether our mineral
claims possess commercially exploitable mineral deposits. If our claims does not
contain any reserves all funds that we spend on exploration will be lost.
ACQUISITION OF THE WHALE PROPERTY
We entered into a purchase agreement dated August 10, 2007 with Multi Metal
Mining Corp. pursuant to which we acquired a 100% interest in the Whale 1 & 2
Lode Claims for cash consideration of $6,000. The Whale 1 & 2 Lode Claims
property is comprised of two unpatented lode mineral claims within an area of 40
acres, located in the Yellow Pine Mining District, Clark County, Nevada, see
"Location Map" below.
19
[MAP SHOWING THE PROPERTY LOCATION]
20
GEOLOGICAL REPORT ON THE WHALE PROPERTY
We engaged Laurence Sookochoff, P.Eng., to prepare a geological evaluation
report on the Whale Property. Mr. Sookochoff is a consulting professional
engineer in the Geological Section of the Association of Professional Engineers
and Geoscientists of British Columbia and a Fellow of the Geological Association
of Canada. Mr. Sookochoff attended the University of British Columbia and holds
a Bachelor of Science degree in geology. Mr. Sookochoff has been licensed as a
professional engineer by the Professional Engineers Association of B.C. for the
past 40 years.
The work completed by Mr. Sookochoff in preparing the geological report
consisted of a review of geological data from previous exploration within the
region. The acquisition of this data involved the research and investigation of
historical files to locate and retrieve data information acquired by previous
exploration companies in the area of the mineral claims.
We received the geological evaluation report on the Whale Property entitled
"Geological Evaluation Report on the Whale 1 & 2 Lode Claims, Yellow Pine Mining
District, Clark County, Nevada, USA" prepared by Mr. Sookochoff on August 20,
2007. The geological report summarizes the results of the history of the
exploration of the mineral claims, the regional and local geology of the mineral
claims and the mineralization and the geological formations identified as a
result of the prior exploration. The geological report also gives conclusions
regarding potential mineralization of the mineral claims and recommends a
further geological exploration program on the mineral claims. The description of
the Whale Property provided below is based on Mr. Sookochoff's report.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The property owned by Centaurus Resources Corp., on which the net proceeds of
the offering will be spent, is the Whale 1 & 2 Lode Claims which is comprised of
two located claims within an area of 40 acres located in the Goodsprings (Yellow
Pine) Mining District, situated within the southwestern corner of the state of
Nevada. The Whale 1 & 2 Lode Claims covers some former exploratory workings on a
mineral showing.
The claims were recorded with the County and the Bureau of Land Management and
are in good standing until September 1, 2008.
21
[MAP SHOWING THE CLAIM LOCATION]
22
PHYSIOGRAPHY, CLIMATE, VEGETATION AND WATER
The Whale 1 & 2 Lode Claims are situated on and on the southern facing slopes of
a northeasterly trending mountain range. The topography is moderately steep
sloping from near the valley floor adjacent to the Sandy Valley Road at an
elevation of 3,200 feet, to 4,300 feet in the northern portion of the Whale 1
Lode Claim.
The area is a typically desert climate with relatively high temperatures and low
precipitation. Vegetation consists mainly of desert shrubs and cactus. Sources
of water would be available form valley wells.
PROPERTY HISTORY
The history of the Yellow Pine Mining District stems from 1856 when Mormon
missionaries reported ore in the area. In 1857 the smelting or ore produced
9,000 pounds of lead and in 1898 a mill was built south of Goodsprings. As a
result of the mill availability, exploration activity led to the discovery of
many of the mines in the area.
The completion of the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad in 1905 and
recognition of oxidized zinc minerals in the ore in 1906 stimulated development
of the mines and the region has been subject to intermittent activity up to 1964
particularly during the World War I and II years.
Production from the mines of the Yellow Pine Mining District from 1902 to 1929
was 477,717 tons. Bullion recovery from 7,656 tons of this ore by amalgamation
and cyanidation was 9,497 ounces of gold and 2,445 ounces of silver. The
concentrator treated 230,452 tons of ore which yielded 58,641 tons of lead-zinc
concentrate and 32,742 tons of lead concentrate.
Crude ore shipped in 1929 was 227,952 tons from which recovery amounted to 3,196
ounces of gold, 422,379 ounces silver, 3,085,675 pounds copper, 34,655460 pounds
lead and 110,833,051 pounds zinc.
Although the mines of this district have been worked primarily for their
lead-zinc-silver values, and estimated 91,000 ounces of gold has been recovered
as a by-produce of copper-lead-silver mining.
REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The Spring Mountain range consists mainly of Paleozoic sediments which have
undergone intense folding accompanied by faulting. At the Yellow Pine District,
a series of Carboniferous sediments consist largely of siliceous limestones and
include strata of pure crystalline limestone and dolomite with occasional
intercalated beds of fine grained sandstone. These strata have a general west to
southwest dip of from 15 to 45 degrees which is occasionally disturbed by local
folds. Igneous rocks are scarce and are represented chiefly by quartz-monzonite
porphyry dikes and sills. The quartz-monzonite porphyry is intruded into these
strata and is of post-Jurassic age, perhaps Tertiary.
STRATIGRAPHY
The sedimentary rocks in the district range in age from Upper Cambrian to
Recent. The Paleozoic section includes the Cambrian Bonanza King and Nopah
Formations, the Devonian Sultan, Mississippian Monte Cristo Limestone,
Pennsylvanian/Mississippian Bird Spring Formation and Permian Kaibab Limestone.
The Mesozoic section is comprised only of the Triassic Moenkopi and Chinle
Formations and an upper Mesozoic unit of uncertain age termed the Lavinia Wash
Formation. The Paleozoic rocks are dominantly carbonates while the Mesozoic
units are continental clastics. Tertiary rocks include gravels and minor
volcanic tuffs.
23
[MAP SHOWING THE REGIONAL GEOLOGY]
24
Only two varieties of intrusive rocks are known in the district. The most
abundant is granite porphyry which forms three large sill-like masses. The sills
generally lie near major thrust faults and are thought to have been emplaced
along breccia zones at the base of the upper plate of the thrust fault. Locally,
small dikes of basaltic composition and uncertain age have been encountered in
some of the mine workings.
STRUCTURE
The region reveals an amazing record of folding, thrust faulting and normal
faulting. Folding began in the early Jurassic, resulting in broad flexures in
the more massive units and tight folds in the thinly bedded rocks. The thrust
faults in the district are part of a belt of thrust faulted rocks, the Foreland
Fold and Thrust Belt that stretches from southern Canada to southern California.
Deformation within this belt began in the Jurassic and continued until
Cretaceous time. Within the Goodsprings District thrust faulting appears to
post-date much of the folding, but despite intensive study the actual age of
thrusting continues to be the subject of contentious debate. Three major thrusts
have been mapped; from west to east, the Green Monster, Keystone and Contact
thrusts.
Of these the Keystone, is the most persistent along strike having been mapped
for a distance of over 50 kilometers. The stratigraphic relationships along the
Keystone fault are similar to those for all the major thrusts in the area,
Cambrian Bonanza King Formation ahs been thrust eastward over younger Paleozoic
rocks.
PROPERTY GEOLOGY, REGIONAL MINERALIZATION AND PROPERTY MINERALIZATION
The Whale 1 & 2 Lode Claims are indicated to be underlain by the Sultan
Limestone to the top of the Monte Cristo Limestone Formation. The Formation
trends at N70W and dips 35 to 45 degrees to the southwest.
REGIONAL MINERALIZATION AND PROPERTY MINERALIZATION
Ore deposits in the Goodsprings (Yellow Pine) district can at best be
characterized as enigmatic. They appear to fall into two distinct types, which
may or may not be related, gold-copper deposits and lead zinc deposits.
Gold-copper deposits are clearly related to sill-like masses of granite
porphyry. All existing mines worked the contact between the intrusive and
surrounding sedimentary rocks. Gold occurred in both the intrusive and the
carbonate wall rocks. It appears any carbonate unit was a suitable host.
ORE MINERALOGY AND ALTERATION
The lead-zinc deposits are often distant from intrusives and occur as veins or
replacements of brecciated rocks along fault zones, either thrust faults or
normal faults. Unlike the gold deposits, the productive lead-zinc deposits are
restricted to the Monte Cristo Formation.
Mineralogy of gold-copper deposits consists of native gold (often visible),
pyrite, limonite, cinnabar, malachite, azurite and chrysocaolla. Lead-zinc
deposits are comprised of hydrozincite, calamine, smithsonite, cerrusite,
anglesite, galena and iron oxides. The rather unusual mineralogy of the district
is due to the great depth of surface oxidation, exceeding 200 meters. Typical
sulfides such as chalcopyrite, sphalerite and pyrite have been partially or
completely altered to more stable hydrated carbonates and sulfates. Only the
highly insoluble lead sulfide, galena has been successfully resisted surface
oxidation.
Primary alteration is difficult to characterize due to the supergene overprint,
but again appears to differ for gold-copper deposits and lead-zinc deposits.
Gold-copper ores have been extensively sericitized and kollinized, altering the
host pluton to the rock that can be mined through simple excavation with little
to no blasting. The rock is so thoroughly altered it decrepitates on exposure to
the atmosphere. On the other hand, lead-zinc deposits appear to be characterized
by dolomitization and minor silicification.
25
PROPERTY MINERALIZATION
On the Whale claim group the mineralization at the main underground workings is
of calamine replacing dolomitized Anchor limestone breccia near layers of chert
which is largely white and slightly decomposed. The eastern workings expose
small veins that contain cuprodeschloizite and a little galena, calamine and
wulfenite.
Samples taken by the writer in 1989 from the Whale Mine returned assays of 970
pap of a chip sample of silicified dolomite (wall rock), 15% zinc of a light
brown vesicular breccia grab sample from the ore bin, and a2.53% zinc of a dark
brown limestone coarse breccia grab sample from the portal dump.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF GEOLOGICAL REPORT AND THE GEOLOGICAL
EXPLORATION PROGRAM
Mr. Sookochoff states, in his geology report, that the Whale 1 & 2 Lode Claims
incorporates a breccia zone that is indicated up to 40 feet wide and which hosts
potential mineralization of zinc values. He recommends that a three phased
exploration program be conducted on the Whale 1 & 2 Lode Claims.
The first phase of the program consist of trenching and sampling be completed
over the known mineral zone to determine geological controls to the
mineralization and to determine the nature of the mineralization. The second
phase would consist of VLF-EM and magnetometer surveys to be completed along the
extensions of the known mineral zones to determine the possibility of any
parallel structures that may host potentially economic mineral zones. The third
phase would consist of the diamond drilling of the prime correlative anomalous
zones.
The following three phase exploration proposal and cost estimate is offered with
the understanding that consecutive phases are contingent upon positive and
encouraging results being obtained from each preceding phase:
Phase Exploration Program Cost Status
- ----- ------------------- ---- ------
Phase 1 Trenching and prospecting over known $ 5,500 Expected to be completed in Fall, 2007
mineralized zones (dependent on consulting geologist's schedule).
Phase 2 VLF-EM and magnetometer surveys, $10,000 Expected to be completed in 2008
sampling (depending on the results of Phase 1, and
consulting geologist's schedule).
Phase 3 Test diamond drilling of the prime $65,000 Expected to be completed in 2008
targets (depending on the results of Phase 2, and
consulting geologist's schedule.)
TOTAL ESTIMATED COST $80,500
COMPETITION
We are an explorations stage company. We do not compete directly with anyone for
the exploration or removal of minerals from our property as we hold all interest
and rights to the claim. Readily available commodities markets exist in the U.S.
and around the world for the sale of zinc and other minerals. Therefore, we will
likely be able to sell any zinc or other minerals that we are able to recover.
We will be subject to competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in
the industry in the event spot shortages arise for supplies such as dynamite,
and certain equipment such as bulldozers and excavators that we will need to
conduct exploration. We have not yet attempted to locate or negotiate with any
suppliers or products, equipment or services and will not do so until funds are
received from this offering. If we are unsuccessful in securing the products,
26
equipment and services we need we may have to suspend our exploration plans
until we are able to do so.
We compete with other mineral resource exploration and development companies for
financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral
resource exploration and development companies with whom we compete have greater
financial and technical resources than us. Accordingly, these competitors may be
able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on
exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral
properties. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise
in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could
result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest
to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development.
This competition could adversely impact on our ability to finance further
exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for us to develop our mineral
properties.
EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
We have no employees other than our officer and director as of the date of this
prospectus. Mr. Weaver currently devotes approximately 5 hours per week to
company matters and after receiving funding, he plans to devote as much time as
the Board of Directors determines is necessary to manage the affairs of the
company. There are no formal employment agreements between the company and our
current employees. We conduct our business largely through consultants.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES
We have not incurred any research expenditures since our incorporation.
BANKRUPTCY OR SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS
There has been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding.
REORGANIZATIONS, PURCHASE OR SALE OF ASSETS
There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, or
purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of
business.
COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of
governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals
in the United States generally, and in the state of Nevada specifically. We will
also be subject to the regulations of the Bureau of Land Management, Department
of the Interior.
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.
NEED FOR GOVERNMENT APPROVAL FOR ITS PRODUCTS OR SERVICES
We are not required to apply for or have any government approval for our product
or services.
27
REPORTS TO SECURITIES HOLDERS
We provide an annual report that includes audited financial information to our
shareholders. We will make our financial information equally available to any
interested parties or investors through compliance with the disclosure rules of
Regulation S-B for a small business issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. We will become subject to disclosure filing requirements once our SB-2
registration statement becomes effective, including filing Form 10K-SB annually
and Form 10Q-SB quarterly. In addition, we will file Form 8K and other proxy and
information statements from time to time as required. We do not intend to
voluntarily file the above reports in the event that our obligation to file such
reports is suspended under the Exchange Act. The public may read and copy any
materials that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, ("SEC"), at
the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549. The
public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by
calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site
(http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements,
and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
PLAN OF OPERATION
Our cash balance is $5,973 as of August 31, 2007. We believe our cash balance is
sufficient to fund our limited levels of operations until November, 2007. If we
experience a shortage of funds prior to funding we may utilize funds from our
director, who has informally agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for
offering costs, filing fees, and professional fees, however he has no formal
commitment, arrangement or legal obligation to advance or loan funds to the
company. In order to achieve our business plan goals, we will need the funding
from this offering. We are an exploration stage company and have generated no
revenue to date. We have sold $15,000 in equity securities to pay for our
minimum level of operations.
Our auditor has issued a going concern opinion. This means that there is
substantial 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 revenues and no revenues are anticipated until we
begin removing and selling minerals. There is no assurance we will ever reach
that stage.
Our plan of operation is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Whale
Property in order to assess whether the property contains mineral reserves
capable of commercial extraction. Our exploration program is designed to explore
for commercially viable deposits of zinc and other minerals. We have not, nor
has any predecessor, identified any commercially exploitable reserves of these
minerals on the Whale Property.
Our plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this
prospectus is to complete the first phase of the exploration program on our
claim consisting of geological mapping, soil sampling and rock sampling. In
addition to the $15,500 we anticipate spending for Phase 1 and 2 for the
exploration program as outlined below, we anticipate spending an additional
$9,500 on professional fees, including fees payable in connection with the
filing of this registration statement and complying with reporting obligations.
Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be
approximately $25,000, which is the amount to be raised in this offering and our
cash on hand. If we experience a shortage of funds prior to funding during the
next 12 months, we may utilize funds from our director, who has informally
agreed to advance funds to allow us to pay for professional fees, including fees
payable in connection with the filing of this registration statement and
operation expenses, however he has no formal commitment, arrangement or legal
obligation to advance or loan funds to the company. We will require the funds
from this offering to proceed.
28
We engaged Laurence Sookochoff, P. Eng., to prepare a geological evaluation
report on the Whale Property. Mr. Sookochoff's report summarizes the results of
the history of the exploration of the mineral claims, the regional and local
geology of the mineral claims and the mineralization and the geological
formations identified as a result of the prior exploration in the claim areas.
The geological report also gives conclusions regarding potential mineralization
of zinc values and recommends a further geological exploration program on the
mineral claims. The exploration program recommended by Mr. Sookochoff is as
follows:
Phase Exploration Program Cost Status
- ----- ------------------- ---- ------
Phase 1 Trenching and prospecting over known $ 5,500 Expected to be completed in Fall, 2007
mineralized zones (dependent on consulting geologist's schedule).
Phase 2 VLF-EM and magnetometer surveys, $10,000 Expected to be completed in 2008
sampling (depending on the results of Phase 1, and
consulting geologist's schedule).
Phase 3 Test diamond drilling of the prime $65,000 Expected to be completed in 2008
targets (depending on the results of Phase 2, and
consulting geologist's schedule.)
TOTAL ESTIMATED COST $80,500
If we are successful in raising the funds from this offering, we plan to
commence Phase 1 of the exploration program on the claim in Fall, 2007. We
expect this phase to take 15 days to complete and an additional two months for
the consulting geologist to receive the results of the assay lab and prepare his
report.
The above program costs are management's estimates based upon the
recommendations of the professional consulting geologist's report and the actual
project costs may exceed our estimates. To date, we have not commenced
exploration.
Following Phase 1 of the exploration program, if it proves successful in
identifying mineral deposits, we intend to proceed with Phase 2 of our
exploration program. The estimated cost of this program is $10,000 and will take
approximately 10 days to complete and an additional two months for the
consulting geologist to receive the results from the assay lab and prepare his
report.
Following Phase 2 of the exploration program, if it proves successful in
identifying mineral deposits, we intend to proceed with Phase 3 of our
exploration program if we are able to raise the funds necessary. The estimated
cost of this program is $65,000 and will take approximately 2 weeks to complete
and an additional two months for the consulting geologist to receive the results
from the assay lab and prepare his report.
We anticipate commencing Phase 2 of our exploration program in Winter 2007,
depending on whether the Phase 1 program proves successful in identifying
mineral deposits. Subject to financing, we anticipate commencing Phase 3 of our
exploration program in 2008, depending on whether Phase 2 program proves
successful in identifying mineral deposits. We have a verbal agreement with
Laurence Sookochoff, the consulting geologist who prepared the geology report on
our claim, to retain his services for our planned exploration program. We will
require additional funding to proceed with Phase 3 and any subsequent work on
the claim, we have no current plans on how to raise the additional funding. We
cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise
sufficient funds to proceed with any work after the first two phases of the
exploration program.
29
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources.
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY; NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
There is no historical financial information about us on which to base an
evaluation of our performance. We are an exploration stage company and have not
generated 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 of our property, and possible cost overruns
due to increases in the cost of services.
To become profitable and competitive, we must conduct the exploration of our
properties before we start into production of any minerals we may find. We're
seeking funding from this offering to provide the capital required for the first
two phases of our exploration program. We believe that the funds from this
offering will allow us to operate for one year.
We have no assurance that future financing will materialize. If that financing
is not available to use for the third phase of our exploration program we may be
unable to continue.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
To meet our need for cash we are attempting to raise money from this offering.
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to sell all the shares required. If we
are successful, any money raised will be applied to the items set forth in the
Use of Proceeds section of this prospectus. If the first two phases of our
exploration program are successful in identifying mineral deposits we will
attempt to raise the necessary funds to proceed with phase three, and any
subsequent drilling and extraction. The sources of funding we may consider to
fund this work include a public offering, a private placement of our securities
or loans from our director or others.
Our director has agreed to advance funds as needed until the offering is
completed or failed and has agreed to pay the cost of reclamation of the
property should exploitable minerals not be found and we abandon the third phase
of our exploration program and there are no remaining funds in the company.
While he has agreed to advance the funds, the agreement is verbal and is
unenforceable as a matter of law.
The one property in the Company's portfolio, on which the net proceeds of the
offering will be spent, is the Whale 1 & 2 Lode Claims consisting of two claims
comprising a total of 40 acres. We have not carried out any exploration work on
the claims and have incurred no exploration costs.
We received our initial funding of $15,000 through the sale of common stock to
Mr. Weaver, our director, who purchased 1,500,000 shares of our common stock at
$.01 on August 13, 2007. From inception until the date of this filing we have
had no operating activities. Our financial statements from inception (July 23,
2007) through the year ended August 31, 2007 report no revenues and a net loss
of $9,027.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company reports revenues and expenses using the accrual method of accounting
for financial and tax reporting purposes.
30
USE OF ESTIMATES
Management uses estimates and assumption in preparing these financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and
expenses.
MINERAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION AND EXPLORATION COSTS
The Company expenses all costs related to the acquisition and exploration of
mineral properties in which it has secured exploration rights prior to
establishment of proven and probable reserves. To date, the Company has not
established the commercial feasibility of any exploration prospects; therefore,
all costs are being expensed.
DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION AND CAPITALIZATION
The Company records depreciation and amortization when appropriate using both
straight-line and declining balance methods over the estimated useful life of
the assets (five to seven years). Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred. Additions, major renewals and replacements that
increase the property's useful life are capitalized. Property sold or retired,
together with the related accumulated depreciation is removed from the
appropriated accounts and the resultant gain or loss is included in net income.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Under
Statement 109, a liability method is used whereby deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between basis used of
financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. Income taxes are provided
based on tax rates in effect at the time such temporary differences are expected
to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if
it is more likely than not, that the Company will not realize the tax assets
through future operations.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards statements No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value
of Financial Instruments", requires the Company to disclose, when reasonably
attainable, the fair market values of its assets and liabilities which are
deemed to be financial instruments. The Company's financial instruments consist
primarily of cash and certain investments.
PER SHARE INFORMATION
The Company computes per share information by dividing the net loss for the
period presented by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
such period.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
We currently do not own any physical property or own any real property. We
purchased the Whale Property at a cost of $6,000. Title to the Whale Property
mineral claims is held by Centaurus Resources Corp.
31
We currently utilize space provided to us on a rent free basis from our officer
and director, Robert C. Weaver, Jr. at 721 Devon Court, San Diego, CA 92109.
Management believes the current premises are sufficient for its needs at this
time.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Mr. Weaver will not be paid for any underwriting services that he performs on
our behalf with respect to this offering. He will also not receive any interest
on any funds that he may advance to us for expenses incurred prior to the
offering being closed. Any funds loaned will be repaid from the proceeds of the
offering.
On August 13, 2007, a total of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock was issued to
Mr. Weaver in exchange for $15,000, or $.0.01 per share. All of such shares are
"restricted" securities, as that term is defined by the Securities act of 1933,
as amended, and are held by a director of the Company. (See "Principal
Stockholders".)
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
NO PUBLIC MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK
There is currently no public market for our common stock. There has been no
public trading of our securities, and, therefore, no high and low bid pricing.
As of the date of this prospectus, Centaurus Resources Corp. has one shareholder
of record. We have paid no cash dividends and have no outstanding options. We
have no securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection
with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities
with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain
national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that
current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such
securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system. The penny stock
rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to
deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a)
contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny
stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a
description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights
and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such
duties or other requirements of Securities' laws; (c) contains a brief, clear,
narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny
stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d)
contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e)
defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of
trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such
form, including language, type, size and format, as the SEC shall require by
rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any
transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations
for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and
ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and
liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) monthly account statements
showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny
stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt
of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving
penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a suitably written statement.
32
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading
activity in the secondary market for our stock if it becomes subject to these
penny stock rules. Therefore, if our common stock becomes subject to the penny
stock rules, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
REGULATION M
Our officer and/or director, who will sell the shares, is aware that he is
required to comply with the provisions of Regulation M, promulgated under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. With certain exceptions,
Regulation M precludes the officer and/or director, sales agent, any
broker-dealer or other person who participate in the distribution of shares in
this offering from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person
to bid for or purchase any security which is the subject of the distribution
until the entire distribution is complete.

Mr. Robert C. Weaver, Jr. in exchange for cash in the amount of $15,000 or $.01
per share. The terms of this stock issuance was as fair to the company, in the
opinion of the Board of Directors, as if it could have been made with an
unaffiliated third party.
Mr. Weaver currently devotes approximately 5 hours per week to manage the
affairs of the company. He has agreed to work with no remuneration until such
time as the company receives sufficient revenues necessary to provide management
salaries. At this time, we cannot accurately estimate when sufficient revenues
will occur to implement this compensation, or what the amount of the

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors of
Centaurus Resources Corp.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Centaurus Resources Corp. as
of August 31, 2007 and the related statements of operations, changes in
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the period from July 23, 1995
(inception) to August 31, 2007. 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 audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 Centaurus Resources Corp. as of
August 31, 2007 and the results of their operations and its cash flows for the
period from July 23, 2007 (inception) to August 31, 2007 in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements,
the Company's present revenues are insufficient to meet operating expenses to
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2007
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Centaurus Resources Corp. (the Company) was incorporated on July 23, 2007 under
the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is primarily engaged in the
acquisition and exploration of mining properties.
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not
yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. Upon the location of
commercially mineable reserves, the Company plans to prepare for mineral
extraction and enter the development stage.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company reports revenue and expenses using the accrual method of accounting
for financial and tax reporting purposes.
USE OF ESTIMATES
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those
estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues
and expenses.
PRO FORMA COMPENSATION EXPENSE
No stock options have been issued by the Company. Accordingly; no pro forma
compensation expense is reported in these financial statements.
MINERAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION AND EXPLORATION COSTS
The Company expenses all costs related to the acquisition and exploration of
mineral properties in which it has secured exploration rights prior to
establishment of proven and probable reserves. To date, the Company has not
established the commercial feasibility of any exploration prospects; therefore,
all costs are being expensed.
DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION AND CAPITALIZATION
The Company records depreciation and amortization, when appropriate, using both
straight-line and declining balance methods over the estimated useful life of
the assets (five to seven years). Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred. Additions, major renewals and replacements that
increase the property's useful life are capitalized. Property sold or retired,
together with the related accumulated

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2007
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
Depreciation is removed from the appropriate accounts and the resultant gain or
loss is included in net income.
INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under
Statement 109, a liability method is used whereby deferred tax assets and
liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between basis used for
financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. Income taxes are provided
based on tax rates in effect at the time such temporary differences are expected
to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if
it is more likely than not, that the Company will not realize the tax assets
through future operations.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments", requires the Company to disclose, when
reasonably attainable, the fair market values of its assets and liabilities
which are deemed to be financial instruments. The Company's financial
instruments consist primarily of cash and certain investments.
INVESTMENTS
Investments that are purchased in other companies are valued at cost less any
impairment in the value that is other than temporary in nature.
PER SHARE INFORMATION
The Company computes per share information by dividing the net loss for the
period presented by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
such period.
NOTE 3 - PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable
income during the period that deductible temporary differences and
carry-forwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. As the
achievement of required future taxable income is uncertain, the Company recorded
a valuation allowance.

NOTE 4 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LITIGATION
The Company is not presently involved in any litigation.
NOTE 5 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recently issued accounting pronouncements will have no significant impact on the
Company and its reporting methods.
NOTE 6 - GOING CONCERN
Future issuances of the Company's equity or debt securities will be required in
order for the Company to continue to finance its operations and continue as a
going concern. The Company's present revenues are insufficient to meet operating
expenses.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among
other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business. The Company has incurred cumulative net losses of
$9,027 since its inception and requires capital for its contemplated operational
and marketing activities to take place. The Company's ability to raise
additional capital through the future issuances of common stock is unknown. The
obtainment of additional financing, the successful development of the Company's
contemplated plan of operations, and its transition, ultimately, to the
attainment of profitable operations are necessary for the Company to continue
operations. The ability to successfully resolve these factors raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The
consolidated financial statements of the Company do not include any adjustments
that may result from the outcome of these aforementioned uncertainties.

deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering
range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC
