common stock or interests therein are also be deemed to be an "underwriter"
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts,
commissions, concessions or profit earned on any resale of the shares may be
underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The Selling
stockholder, who is an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the
Securities Act, is subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners" for more

SUMMARY INFORMATION
The following summary highlights some of the information in this prospectus. It
may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand
this offering fully, it is important that you read the entire prospectus
carefully, including the "RISK FACTORS" and our financial statements and the
notes accompanying the financial statements that appear elsewhere in this
prospectus. Unless otherwise specifically noted, the terms "Company," "we," "us"
or "our" refers to Dakota Creek Minerals Inc.
CORPORATE BACKGROUND AND INFORMATION
DAKOTA CREEK MINERALS INC.
Dakota Creek Minerals Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada
on September 29, 2010, to explore mineral properties in North America.
Dakota Creek Minerals Inc. is engaged in the exploration for molybdenum and
other minerals. The Company's Venus Molybdenum Property is located approximately
35 kilometers north of Vancouver BC, and about 2 kilometers north of the
community of Britannia Beach, BC. The property is crossed by Highway 99, "The
Sea to Sky Highway" and the CN Railroad.
The Venus Molybdenum Property comprises one mineral claim totaling 62.12
hectares in area. The Venus molybdenum occurrence was discovered in the late
1960's and developed by a company known as Squamish Silica and Stone Co. Ltd.
The occurrence is located about 250 meters northwest of Highway 99. We require
an estimated total of $250,000 to implement the three phases of our exploration
plan. We currently have not taken any concrete steps to implement our business
plan.
We are an exploration stage company and we have not realized any revenues to
date. We do not have sufficient capital to enable us to commence and complete
our exploration program. We will require financing in order to conduct the
exploration program described in the section entitled, "Business of the Issuer."
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, raising substantial doubt
about Dakota's financial prospects and the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern.
We are not a "blank check company," as we do not intend to participate in a
reverse acquisition or merger transaction. Securities laws define a "blank check
company" as a development stage company that has no specific business plan or
purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or
acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or
person.
With its current assets, the Company can remain operational through 2011 if it
does not complete Phase 1 of its program and only pays the government fees to
keep the claims valid. However, the Company plans to raise the capital necessary
to fund our business through a private placement and public offering of our
common stock. The Company intends to work directly with private placees once
this registration statement is declared effective. The Company anticipates that
they will have either a private placement or additional funding from its founder
by Spring 2012 in order to conducts its operations.
Our offices are located at: 10019 107 Avenue, Westlock, AB, T7P 2C8

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the
other information contained in this registration statement, prospective
purchasers of the securities offered hereby should consider carefully the
following factors in evaluating the Company and its business.
The securities we are offering through this registration statement are
speculative by nature and involve an extremely high degree of risk and should be
purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment. We
also caution prospective investors that the following risk factors could cause
our actual future operating results to differ materially from those expressed in
any forward looking statements, oral, written, made by or on behalf of us. In
assessing these risks, we suggest that you also refer to other information
contained in this registration statement, including our financial statements and
related notes.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY AND OUR INDUSTRY
THE COMPANY HAS NEVER EARNED A PROFIT AND WE ARE CURRENTLY OPERATING UNDER A NET
LOSS. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL EVER EARN A PROFIT.
From our inception to the period ended on August 31, 2011 the Company has not
generated any revenue. Rather, the Company incurred a net loss of $16,503 from
inception (September 29, 2010) through August 31, 2011. The Company does not
currently have any revenue producing operations. The Company is currently not
operating profitably, and it should be anticipated that it will operate at a
loss at least until such time when the production stage is achieved, if
production is, in fact, ever achieved.
IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
We will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business
plan. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income. We are an
exploration stage company and we have not realized any revenues to date. We do
not have sufficient capital to enable us to commence and complete our
exploration program and based on our current operating plan, we do not expect to
generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our expenses for at least the next
twelve months. We will require financing in order to conduct the exploration
program described in the section entitled, "Business of the Issuer." We need to
raise $30,000 to complete the first phase of our exploration program and
$250,000 to complete all three phases of our program. We do not have any
arrangements for financing and we may not be able to find such financing if
required. We will need to obtain additional financing to operate our business
for the next twelve months, and if we do not our business will fail. We will
raise the capital necessary to fund our business through a Prospectus and public
offering of our common stock. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to
a number of factors, including investor acceptance of mineral claims and
investor sentiment. These factors may adversely affect the timing, amount,
terms, or conditions of any financing that we may obtain or make any additional
financing unavailable to us.
OUR COMPANY WAS RECENTLY FORMED, AND WE HAVE NOT PROVEN THAT WE CAN GENERATE A
PROFIT. IF WE FAIL TO GENERATE INCOME AND ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY AN INVESTMENT IN
OUR SECURITIES MAY BE WORTHLESS.
We have no operating history and have not proved we can operate successfully. We
face all of the risks inherent in a new business. If we fail, your investment in
our common stock will become worthless. From inception to the period ended on
August 31, 2011, we incurred a net loss of $16,503 and did not earn any revenue.
The Company does not currently have any revenue producing operations.
6
WE HAVE NO OPERATING HISTORY. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE
SUCCESSFUL IN OUR MINERAL EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES.
The Company has no history of operations. As a result of our brief operating
history, there can be no assurance that that we will be successful exploring for
molybdenum or other minerals. Our future performance will depend upon our
management and its ability to locate and negotiate additional exploration
opportunities in which we can participate. There can be no assurance that we
will be successful in these efforts. Our inability to locate additional
opportunities, to hire additional management and other personnel, or to enhance
our management systems, could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations. There can be no assurance that the Company's operations will be
profitable.
WE ARE CONTROLLED BY MS. KATHY SLOAN, OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR,
AND, AS SUCH, YOU MAY HAVE NO EFFECTIVE VOICE IN OUR MANAGEMENT.
Upon the completion of this offering, Ms. Kathy Sloan, our sole Executive
Officer Director, will beneficially own approximately 66% of our issued and
outstanding common stock. Ms. Sloan will exercise control over all matters
requiring stockholder approval, including the possible election of additional
directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. If you purchase
shares of our common stock, you may have no effective voice in our management.
WE ARE SOLELY GOVERNED BY MS. KATHY SLOAN, OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND
DIRECTOR, AND, AS SUCH, THERE MAY BE SIGNIFICANT RISK TO THE COMPANY OF A
CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
Ms. Kathy Sloan, our sole Executive Officer and Director, makes decisions such
as the approval of related party transactions, the compensation of Executive
Officers, and the overseeing of the accounting function. There will be no
segregation of executive duties and there may not be effective disclosure and
accounting controls to comply with applicable laws and regulations, which could
result in fines, penalties and assessments against us. Accordingly, the inherent
controls that arise from the segregation of executive duties may not prevail. In
addition, Ms. Sloan will exercise full control over all matters that typically
require the approval of a Board of Directors. Ms. Sloan's actions are not
subject to the review and approval of a Board of Directors and, as such, there
may be significant risk to the Company of a conflict of interest.
Our sole Executive Officer and Director exercises control over all matters
requiring stockholder approval including the election of Directors and the
approval of significant corporate transactions. Insofar as Ms. Kathy Sloan makes
all decisions as to which projects the Company undertakes, there is a risk of a
conflict of interest arising between the duties of Ms. Sloan in her role as our
sole Executive Officer and her own personal financial and business interests in
other business ventures distinct and separate from the interests of the Company.
Her personal interests may not, during the ordinary course of business, coincide
with the interests of the stockholders and, in the absence of the effective
segregation of such duties, there is a risk of a conflict of interest. We have
not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures. As such,
stockholders have limited protections against the transactions implemented by
Ms. Sloan, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
We have not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other
independent committees as we presently only have one independent director.
Stockholders should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance
measures in formulating their investment decisions.
7
BECAUSE KATHY SLOAN, OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, HAS OTHER BUSINESS
INTERESTS, SHE MAY NOT BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME
TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WHICH MAY CAUSE OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
It is possible that the demands on Ms. Kathy Sloan, our sole Executive Officer
and Director, from other obligations could increase with the result that she
would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our
business. Ms. Sloan will devote fewer than 12-15 hours per month or 3-4 per week
to the affairs of the Company. In addition, Ms. Sloan may not possess sufficient
time to manage our business if the demands of managing our business increased
substantially.
KATHY SLOAN, OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, LACKS TECHNICAL TRAINING
AND EXPERIENCE IN MINERAL EXPLORATION OR MINING, AND MAY NOT BE FULLY AWARE OF
THE REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE MINING INDUSTRY.
The management of the Company, our sole executive officer and director, Ms.
Sloan, has no technical training or experience in minerals exploration or
mining, or exploring for, starting, or operating a mine, and that with no direct
training or experience in these areas, and as such, may not be fully aware of
many of the specific requirements related to working within the mining industry.
THE IMPRECISION OF MINERAL DEPOSIT ESTIMATES MAY PROVE ANY RESOURCE CALCULATIONS
THAT WE MAKE TO BE UNRELIABLE.
Mineral deposit estimates and related databases are expressions of judgment
based on knowledge, mining experience, and analysis of drilling results and
industry practices. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly
change when new information becomes available. By their nature, mineral deposit
estimates are imprecise and depend upon statistical inferences, which may
ultimately prove unreliable. Mineral deposit estimates included here, if any,
have not been adjusted in consideration of these risks and, therefore, no
assurances can be given that any mineral deposit estimate will ultimately be
reclassified as reserves. If the Company's exploration program locates a mineral
deposit, there can be no assurances that any of such deposits will ever be
classified as reserves.
MS. KATHY SLOAN HAS NOT PHYSICALLY INSPECTED THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND DOES NOT
HAVE CURRENT PLANS TO VISIT THE PROPERTY.
Ms. Sloan has not visited the property, but has relied on property reports and
other consultants who are knowledgeable with the property. With respect to the
further exploration of the property, Ms. Sloan does not have any current plans
to visit the property but instead intends to hire various professionals and
consultants to further explore the property as this work is required. As the
Company will rely on third parties, the costs of exploration may be higher than
if the Company and its employees engaged in the work themselves. By not visiting
the property directly, Ms. Sloan will be unable to personally verify the
information and results that are presented by third parties.
8
WE ARE SENSITIVE TO FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRICE OF SEMI-PRECIOUS MINERALS, WHICH
IS BEYOND OUR CONTROL. THE PRICE OF MOLYBDENUM IS VOLATILE AND PRICE CHANGES ARE
BEYOND OUR CONTROL.
The price of molybdenum and other minerals can fluctuate. The prices of
molybdenum and other minerals have been and will continue to be affected by
numerous factors beyond the Company's control. Factors that affect the price of
molybdenum include the demand from consumers for products that use molybdenum,
economic conditions, over supply from secondary sources and costs of production.
Price volatility and downward price pressure, which can lead to lower prices,
could have a material adverse effect on the costs or the viability of our
projects.
MINERAL EXPLORATION AND PROSPECTING IS A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND SPECULATIVE
BUSINESS AND WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN SEEKING AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITIES.
The process of mineral exploration and prospecting is a highly competitive and
speculative business. Individuals are not subject to onerous accreditation and
licensing requirements prior to beginning mineral exploration and prospecting
activities. As such, the company, in seeking available opportunities, will
compete with numerous individuals and companies, including established,
multi-national companies that have more experience and resources than the
Company. The exact number of active competitors at any one time is heavily
dependant on current economic conditions; however, statistics provided by the
AEBC (The Association for Mineral Exploration, British Columbia), state that
approximately 1000 mining companies operate in BC. Each one of these companies
can be considered to be in competition with our company for mineral resources in
British Columbia. Moreover, the Government of Canada at,
http://mmsd1.mms.nrcan.gc.ca/mmsd/exploration/default_e.asp, reports that in
2006, CDN $140.6 billion was spent in mineral exploration activities in British
Columbia.
Because we may not have the financial and managerial resources to compete with
other companies, we may not be successful in our efforts to acquire projects of
value, which may, ultimately, become productive. However, while we compete with
other exploration companies for the rights to explore other claims, there is no
competition for the exploration or removal of mineral from our claims from other
companies, as we have no agreements or obligations that limit our right to
explore or remove minerals from our claims.
COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND PERMITTING COULD HAVE A
MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE COSTS OR THE VIABILITY OF OUR PROJECTS. THE
HISTORICAL TREND TOWARD STRICTER ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION MAY CONTINUE, AND, AS
SUCH, REPRESENTS AN UNKNOWN FACTOR IN OUR PLANNING PROCESSES.
All mining is regulated by the government agencies at the Federal and Provincial
levels of government in Canada. Compliance with such regulation has a material
effect on the economics of our operations and the timing of project development.
Our primary regulatory costs have been related to obtaining licenses and permits
from government agencies before the commencement of mining activities. An
environmental impact study that must be obtained on each property in order to
obtain governmental approval to mine on the properties is also a part of the
overall operating costs of a mining company.
The possibility of more stringent regulations exists in the areas of worker
health and safety, the dispositions of wastes, the decommissioning and
reclamation of mining and milling sites and other environmental matters, each of
which could have an adverse material effect on the costs or the viability of a
particular project. Compliance with environmental considerations and permitting
could have a material adverse effect on the costs or the viability of our
projects.
9
MINING AND EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES ARE SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE REGULATION BY FEDERAL
AND PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS IN CANADA. ANY FUTURE CHANGES IN GOVERNMENTS,
REGULATIONS AND POLICIES, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS FOR A PARTICULAR PERIOD AND ITS LONG-TERM BUSINESS PROSPECTS.
Mining and exploration activities are subject to extensive regulation by
government. Such regulation relates to production, development, exploration,
exports, taxes and royalties, labor standards, occupational health, waste
disposal, protection and remediation of the environment, mine and mill
reclamation, mine and mill safety, toxic substances and other matters.
Compliance with such laws and regulations has increased the costs of exploring,
drilling, developing, constructing, operating mines and other facilities.
Furthermore, future changes in governments, regulations and policies, could
adversely affect the Company's results of operations in a particular period and
its long-term business prospects.
The development of mines and related facilities is contingent upon governmental
approvals, which are complex and time consuming to obtain and which, depending
upon the location of the project, involve various governmental agencies. The
duration and success of such approvals are subject to many variables outside the
Company's control.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND BUSINESS MODEL
THE COMPANY HAS NOT PAID ANY CASH DIVIDENDS ON ITS SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND
DOES NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING ANY SUCH DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
ACCORDINGLY, INVESTORS WILL ONLY SEE A RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENTS IF THE VALUE
OF THE SHARES APPRECIATES.
Payment of future dividends, if any, will depend on earnings and capital
requirements of the Company, the Company's debt facilities and other factors
considered appropriate by the Company's Board of Directors. To date, the Company
has not paid any cash dividends on the Company's Common Stock and does not
anticipate paying any such dividends in the foreseeable future. Accordingly,
investors will only see a return on their investments if the value of the
Company's shares appreciates.
IF WE DO NOT CONDUCT MINERAL EXPLORATION ON OUR MINERAL CLAIMS AND KEEP THE
CLAIMS IN GOOD STANDING, THEN OUR RIGHT TO THE MINERAL CLAIMS WILL LAPSE AND WE
WILL LOSE EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE INVESTED AND EXPENDED TOWARDS THESE CLAIMS.
We must complete mineral exploration work on our mineral claims and keep the
claims in good standing. If we do not fulfill our work commitment requirements
on our claims or pay the fee to keep the claims in good standing, then our right
to the claims will lapse and we will lose all interest that we have in these
mineral claims. We are obligated to pay close to $1,200 in lieu of work to the
British Columbia Provincial government on an annual basis to keep our claims in
good standing. Our claims are due on February 13, 2013.
BECAUSE OF OUR LIMITED RESOURCES AND THE SPECULATIVE NATURE OF OUR BUSINESS,
THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT AS TO OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE AS A GOING CONCERN.
The report of our independent auditors, on our audited financial statements for
the audited period ended August 31, 2011 indicates that there are a number of
factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. Our continued operations are dependent on our ability to obtain
10
financing and upon our ability to achieve future profitable operations from the
development of our mineral properties. If we are not able to continue as a going
concern, it is likely investors will lose their investment.
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING AND OUR STOCK
WE WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, IN ADDITION TO THE FINANCING AS
REPORTED IN THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT. IN SO DOING, WE WILL FURTHER DILUTE THE
TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT
THIS ADDITIONAL CAPITAL WILL BE AVAILABLE OR ACCESSIBLE BY US.
Dakota will need to raise additional capital, in addition to the financing as
reported in this registration statement, by issuing additional shares of common
stock and will, thereby, increase the number of common shares outstanding. There
can be no assurance that this additional capital will be available to meet these
continuing exploration and development costs or, if the capital is available,
that it will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is
unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on terms deemed acceptable, the
business and future success of the Company will almost certainly be adversely
affected. If we are able to raise additional capital, we cannot be assured that
it will be on terms that enhance the value of our common shares.
IF WE COMPLETE FINANCING THROUGH THE SALE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON
STOCK IN THE FUTURE, THEN OUR STOCKHOLDERS WILL EXPERIENCE DILUTION.
The most likely source of future financing presently available to us is through
the sale of shares of our common stock. Any sale of common stock will result in
dilution of equity ownership to stockholders. This means that if we sell shares
of our common stock, more shares will be outstanding and each stockholder will
own a smaller percentage of the shares then outstanding. To raise additional
capital we may have to issue additional shares, which may substantially dilute
the interests of stockholders. Alternatively, we may have to borrow large sums,
and assume debt obligations that require us to make substantial interest and
capital payments.
THERE IS NO MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK, WHICH LIMITS OUR STOCKHOLDERS ABILITY
TO RESELL THEIR SHARES OR PLEDGE THEM AS COLLATERAL.
There is currently no public market for our shares, and we cannot assure you
that a market for our stock will develop. Consequently, investors may not be
able to use their shares for collateral or loans and may not be able to
liquidate at a suitable price in the event of an emergency. In addition,
investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the price they paid
for them or may not be able to sell their shares at all.
IF A PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR STOCK IS DEVELOPED, FUTURE SALES OF SHARES COULD
NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
If a public market for our stock is developed, then sales of Common Stock in the
public market could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. There
are at present 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. TRADING OF OUR STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE SEC'S
PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS AND THE NASD'S SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH MAY
LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.
11
The Company's common shares may be deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is
defined in Regulation Section "240.3a51-1" of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"). Penny stocks are stocks: (a) with a price of less than
U.S. $5.00 per share; (b) that are not traded on a "recognized" national
exchange; (c) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation
system (NASDAQ - where listed stocks must still meet requirement (a) above); or
(d) in issuers with net tangible assets of less than U.S. $2,000,000 (if the
issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or U.S.
$5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with
average revenues of less than U.S. $6,000,000 for the last three years.
Section "15(g)" of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and Regulation Section "240.15g(c)2" of the SEC require broker dealers
dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document
disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated
written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny
stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in the Company's common
shares are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing
any common shares that are deemed to be "penny stock".
Moreover, Regulation Section "240.15g-9" of the SEC requires broker dealers in
penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such
stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires
the broker dealer to: (a) obtain from the investor information concerning his or
her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (b)
reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny
stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient
knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of
penny stock transactions; (c) provide the investor with a written statement
setting forth the basis on which the broker dealer made the determination in
(ii) above; and (d) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the
investor confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial
situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with
these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in the Company's
common shares to resell their common shares to third parties or to otherwise
dispose them of. Stockholders should be aware that, according to Securities and
Exchange Commission Release No. 34-29093, dated April 17, 1991, the market for
penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such
patterns include:
(i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers
that are often related to the promoter or issuer
(ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and
sales and false and misleading press releases
(iii) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and
unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons
(iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling
broker-dealers
(v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and
broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level,
along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with
consequent investor losses
Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the
penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the
behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market,
12
management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent
the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Dakota Creek Minerals Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on September
29, 2010. It was incorporated for the sole purpose of engaging in mineral
exploration. It has always maintained the same business plan from inception to
present. During the previous three years, the Company has not filed for
bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding; and there has not been any
material reclassification, merger, consolidation, or purchase or sale of a
significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
Dakota Creek Minerals Inc. is engaged in the exploration for molybdenum and
other minerals. The Company's Venus Molybdenum Property is located approximately
35 kilometers north of Vancouver BC, and about 2 kilometers north of the
community of Britannia Beach, BC. The property is crossed by Highway 99, "The
Sea to Sky Highway" and the CN Railroad.
The Venus Molybdenum Property comprises one mineral claim totaling 62.12
hectares in area. The Venus molybdenum occurrence was discovered in the late
1960's and developed by a company known as Squamish Silica and Stone Co. Ltd.
The occurrence is located about 250 meters northwest of Highway 99.
The Company was incorporated for the purpose of exploring mineral claims in
North America. The short-term strategy of the Company is to explore and further
develop the Venus Molybdenum property and to explore its commercial viability.
The long-term strategy of the Company is to continue to acquire additional
mineral claims that complement its core business.
We are an exploration stage company and we cannot provide assurance to investors
that our mineral claims contain a commercially exploitable mineral deposit, or
reserve, until appropriate exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation
based on such work concludes economic feasibility.
PROPERTY ACQUISITION DETAILS
Dakota Creek Minerals Inc. purchased the Venus Molybdenum Property for USD
$15,000. The Company owns 100% of the rights to the property. There are no
underlying rights or royalties on this property. In British Columbia, the
acquisition of mineral claims is done using an online application whereby a
company or individual can stake claims online. A mineral tenure is granted the
available subsurface rights at the time of issuance. For our property, the
tenure includes all subsurface minerals, as there were no other tenures on the
property at time of staking. The mineral rights expire on February 13, 2013. The
tenure includes both mineral and placer mineral rights on the property. The
details of the claim are provided below:

[MAP SHOWING PROPERTY REGIONAL LOCATION]
TOPOGRAPHY, CLIMATE, VEGETATION
The Venus Molybdenum Property covers a mineralized area occurring at about 125
metres elevation. Large areas of the claims are underlain by outcropping bedrock
in a "cliff and bench" topography derived from the joint structure in the
granitic rocks. Pine, fir, hemlock, cedar, spruce, alder and maple trees,
huckleberry bushes and moss are the prevailing vegetation found. Black bear,
mountain goat, cougar, deer, wolf and a variety of rodents are found in the
vicinity. The climate is generally moderate and wet, with the bulk of the
moisture falling as rain from March to November and as occasional snowfall in
the winter months.
Murrin Park covers Browning Lake, a popular swimming and fishing spot located
beside Highway 99. Rock climbing is also a popular local recreation.

PREVIOUS WORK
The Venus Molybdenum Property was discovered in the late 1960's. In 1969, a
company known as Squamish Silica and Stone Co. Ltd. explored the Venus
molybdenum occurrence, said to be located about 250 metres northwest of Highway
99. In 1969, Squamish Silica and Stone Co. Ltd. reported that chalcopyrite and
molybdenite were seen to occur as fracture fillings in a series of quartz
porphyry outcrops located about 250 metres northwest of Highway 99. Two pits
were dug in overburden, and two trenches totaling about 10 metres in length were
cut into bedrock. The location of these workings is presently unknown.

AREA GEOLOGICAL OVERVIEW
The Venus Molybdenum Property hosts molybdenum and copper mineralization within
a quartz porphyry granitic intrusive. This "porphyry copper-moly" type of
deposit can be very large and economically significant.
MOLYBDENUM
MOLYBDENUM is a silvery metal with the sixth-highest melting point of any
element. It readily forms hard, stable carbides, and for this reason it is often
used in high-strength steel alloys. Molybdenum does not occur as a free metal on
Earth, but rather in various oxidation states in minerals. Industrially,
molybdenum compounds are used in high-pressure and high-temperature
applications, as pigments and catalysts. Molybdenum minerals have long been
known, but the element was "discovered" in 1778 by Carl Wilhelm Scheele. The
metal was first isolated in 1781 by Peter Jacob Hjelm.
The world's largest producers of molybdenum materials are the United States,
China, Chile, Peru and Canada. Though molybdenum is found in such minerals as
wulfenite and powellite, the main commercial source of molybdenum is
molybdenite. Molybdenum is mined as a principal ore, and is also recovered as a
byproduct of copper and tungsten mining. Large mines in Colorado and in British
Columbia yield molybdenite as their primary product, while many porphyry copper
deposits such as the Bingham Canyon Mine in Utah and the Chuquicamata mine in
northern Chile produce molybdenum as a byproduct of copper mining.
The ability of molybdenum to withstand extreme temperatures without
significantly expanding or softening makes it useful in applications that
involve intense heat, including the manufacture of armour, aircraft parts,
electrical contacts, industrial motors and filaments. Molybdenum is also used in
steel alloys for its high corrosion resistance and weldability. Because of its
lower density and more stable price, molybdenum is sometimes used instead of
tungsten.
REGIONAL GEOLOGY
The general upper Howe Sound area is underlain by northwest-trending belts of
Lower Cretaceous (~100 my) Gambier Group marine volcanic and sedimentary rocks,
intruded by various plutons and dike swarm complexes of dioritic to
granodioritic composition. Typical suites of mineralization occur with Gambier
Group and intrusive rocks. Small outliers or vent complexes of the Late Tertiary
to Recent Garabaldi Group volcanics occur north of the property at Watts Point
and west of Squamish.
Within the Gambier Group rocks, syn-genetic volcanogenic mineralization has
formed from "black smokers" on the sea floor, resulting in minor occurrences and
rarely major orebodies containing copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver.
24
The intrusive rocks belong to the Coast Plutonic Complex, a group of diverse
intrusives of various ages and composition. In particular, the Lower Cretaceous
Squamish Pluton is composed of granodiorite to quartz porphyry and occupies much
of the upper part of Howe Sound, including the Venus Molybdenum property area.
The "porphyry copper-moly" style of deposit has been found at several places
within intrusive rocks of the Howe Sound area.
PROPERTY GEOLOGY
The Venus Molybdenum Property is underlain by the Lower Cretaceous aged Squamish
Pluton, varying from granodiorite to quartz porphyry in composition. In 1969,
Squamish Silica and Stone Co. Ltd. reported that chalcopyrite and molybdenite
were seen to occur as fracture fillings in a series of quartz porphyry outcrops
located about 250 metres northwest of Highway 99. Past exploration includes two
pits dug in overburden, and two trenches totaling about 10 metres in length were
cut into bedrock. The location of these workings is presently unknown.
OVERVIEW OF THE EXPLORATION AND MINING PERMIT REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPANIES
OPERATING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Two types of applications can be made to obtain a Mines Act Permit:

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to
those statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to the
historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual
results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under "Risk
Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Our business plan is to proceed with the exploration of the Venus Molybdenum
Property to determine whether there is any potential for molybdenum or other
minerals located on the properties that comprise the mineral claims. If the
Company is successful in raising adequate capital through private placements or
debt financing, the Company anticipates completing the first phase in Spring
2012 and commencing the Second and Third phases in Summer and Fall 2012. We have
decided to proceed with the exploration program recommended by the geological
report. A proposed work program includes prospecting, geological mapping and
rock sampling of any mineralized surface showings, construction of a control
grid, geochemical soil sampling, and geophysical surveys. Based on a compilation
of these results, a diamond drill program would be designed to explore and
define the potential resources. The anticipated costs of this development are
presented in three results-contingent stages.
PHASE 1

grid construction, magnetometer survey, hand-trenching of
showings, establish potential drill targets, fly camp and
helicopter support. $ 70,000.00
PHASE 3
500 metres of diamond drilling including geological supervision,
rock petrography, rental of small fly-in excavator for machine
trenching, fly camp and helicopter support. $150,000.00
-----------
TOTAL $250,000.00
===========
We anticipate that the three phases of the recommended geological exploration
program will cost approximately $30,000, $70,000 and $150,000 respectively. We
had $13,497 in cash reserves as of August 31, 2011. The lack of cash has kept us
from conducting any exploration work on the property. If the Company is
28
unsuccessful in raising the capital to commence its exploration program, the
Company will be required to pay a government fee of $1,300 in order to keep the
claims valid. The Company currently has enough cash on hand to pay this fee.
We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next twelve
months:
* $1,300 to be paid to the British Columbia Provincial Government to
keep the claims valid on or before February 13, 2013;
* $30,000 in connection with the completion of Phase 1 of our planned
geological work program;
* $70,000 in connection with the completion of Phase 2 of our planned
geological work program;
* $150,000 for Phase 3 of our planned geological work program; and
* $6,600 for operating expenses, including professional legal and
accounting expenses associated with compliance with the periodic
reporting requirements after we become a reporting issuer under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but excluding expenses of the
offering.
If we determine not to proceed with further exploration of our mineral claims
due to a determination that the results of our initial geological program do not
warrant further exploration or due to an inability to finance further
exploration, we plan to pursue the acquisition of an interest in other mineral
claims. We anticipate that any future acquisition would involve the acquisition
of an option to earn an interest in a mineral claim as we anticipate that we
would not have sufficient cash to purchase a mineral claim of sufficient merit
to warrant exploration. This means that we might offer shares of our stock to
obtain an option on a property. Once we obtain an option, we would then pursue
finding the funds necessary to explore the mineral claim by one or more of the
following means: engaging in an offering of our stock; engaging in borrowing; or
locating a joint venture partner or partners.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We have not yet earned any revenues. We anticipate that we will not earn
revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production, if any,
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 properties, or if such resources
are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of our mineral
properties.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The company had current assets of $13,497 consisting only of cash as of August
31, 2011. The Company has incurred a net loss of $16,503 for the period from
inception to August 31, 2011. Income represents all of the company's revenue
less all its expenses in the period incurred. The Company has no revenues as of
August 31, 2011 and has incurred expenses of $16,503 since inception.
Liabilities are made up of current and long-term liabilities. The company issued
to the founder 30,000,000 common shares of stock for $30,000. As of August 31,
2011, there are Thirty Million (30,000,000) shares issued and outstanding at a
value of $0.001 per share. There are no preferred shares authorized. The Company
has no stock option plan, warrants or other dilutive securities.
29
With its current assets, the Company can remain operational through 2012 if it
does not complete Phase 1 of its program and only pays the government fees to
keep the claims valid, as well as the $6,600 for operating expenses, including
professional legal and accounting expenses associated with compliance with the
periodic reporting requirements after we become a reporting issuer under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, plus the expenses of the offering.
However, the Company plans to raise the capital necessary to fund our business
through a private placement and public offering of our common stock. The Company
intends to work directly with private placees once this registration statement
is declared effective. The Company anticipates that they will have either a
private placement or additional funding from its founder by late Spring 2012 in
order to conduct its operations.
Based on our current operating plan, we do not expect to generate revenue that
is sufficient to cover our expenses for at least the next twelve months. In
addition, we do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to execute our
operations for at least the next twelve months. We will need to obtain
additional financing to operate our business for the next twelve months. We will
raise the capital necessary to fund our business through a private placement and
public offering of our common stock. Additional financing, whether through
public or private equity or debt financing, arrangements with stockholders or
other sources to fund operations, may not be available, or if available, may be
on terms unacceptable to us. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity is
dependent on our ability to raise additional capital. If we issue additional
equity securities to raise funds, the ownership percentage of our existing
stockholders would be reduced. New investors may demand rights, preferences or
privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. Debt
incurred by us would be senior to equity in the ability of debt holders to make
claims on our assets. The terms of any debt issued could impose restrictions on
our operations. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short or
long-term capital requirements, our operations and liquidity could be materially
adversely affected and we could be forced to cease operations. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in
existence.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Dakota Creek Minerals, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Dakota Creek Minerals, Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company) as of August 31, 2011 and the related statement
of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows from inception (September
29, 2010) to August 31, 2011. Dakota Creek Minerals, Inc. management is
responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over the
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 Dakota Creek Minerals, Inc. (An
Exploration Stage Company) as of August 31, 2011 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows from inception (September 29, 2010) to August 31,
2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial
statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, which
raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

DAKOTA CREEK MINERALS INC.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to Financial Statements
(Audited)
August 31, 2011
1. ORGANIZATION
The company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on September
29, 2010 with 75,000,000 authorized common shares with a par value of $0.001.
The company was organized for the purpose of acquiring and developing mineral
claims. The company has acquired a mineral claim with unknown reserves. The
company does not presently have any operations and is considered to be in the
development stage as defined by ASC 915-205 "Development Stage Entities".
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are
presented in US dollars.
Accounting Methods
The company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of
accounting.
Dividend Policy
The company has not yet adapted a policy regarding payment of dividends.
Income Tax
The company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under
the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be
in effect, when the differences are expected to be reverse. An allowance against
deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not that such tax
benefits will not be realized.
On August 31, 2011, the company had a net operating loss available for
carryforward of $16,503.
Financial and Concentrations Risk
The company has no financial and concentrations risks.
Basic and Diluted Net Income (loss) Per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted
average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per
share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common and
common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the
F-6
exercise of the common share rights unless the exercise becomes anti-dilutive
and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized on the sale and delivery of a product or the completion of
a service provided.
Advertising and Market Development
The company expenses advertising and market development costs are research data
expenses.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not
be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC
360-10-35-17 if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount
might not be recoverable. When the Company determines that an impairment
analysis should be done, the analysis will be performed using the rules of ASC
930-360-35, Asset Impairment, and 360-10-15-3 through 15-5, Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
Environmental Requirements
At the report date environmental requirements related to a formally held mineral
claim are unknown and therefore any estimate of future costs cannot be made.
Mineral Property Acquisitions Costs
Costs of acquisition and option costs of mineral rights are capitalized upon
acquisition. Mine development costs incurred to develop new ore deposits, to
expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance
of current production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves
exist and the property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to
maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged
to operations. If the Company does not continue with exploration after the
completion of the feasibility study, the mineral rights will be expensed at that
time. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to mining costs including related
property and equipment costs. To determine if these costs are in excess of their
recoverable amount periodic evaluation of carrying value of capitalized costs
and any related property and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash
flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
Various factors could impact our ability to achieve forecasted production
schedules. Additionally, commodity prices, capital expenditure requirements and
reclamation costs could differ from the assumptions the Company may use in cash
flow models from exploration stage mineral interests involves further risks in
addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and
F-7
proven and probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of
confidence that the identified mineralized material can ultimately be mined
economically.
Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in
accordance with general accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and
expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in
preparing these financial statements.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be
their estimated fair values due to their short term maturities.
Fiscal Periods
The Company's fiscal year end is August 31
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting
pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
company will continue as a going concern. The company does not have a sufficient
working capital for its planned activity, and to service its debt, which raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Continuation of the company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining
additional working capital and the management of the company has developed a
strategy which it believes will accomplish this objective through short term
loans from an officer-director, and additional equity investments, which will
enable the company to continue operations for the coming year.
4. ACQUISITION OF A MINERAL CLAIM
During 2010 the company acquired mineral claims for $15,000 known as the Venus
Property.
The Venus Molybdenum Property is located approximately 35 kilometers north of
Vancouver BC, and about 2 kilometers north of the community of Britannia Beach,
BC. The property is crossed by Highway 99, "The Sea to Sky Highway" and the CN
Railroad.
The Venus Molybdenum Property comprises one mineral claim totaling 188.293
hectares in area. The Venus molybdenum occurrence was discovered in the late
1960's and developed by a company known as Squamish Silica and Stone Co. Ltd.
The occurrence is located about 250 meters northwest of Highway 99.
The acquisitions costs have been impaired and expensed during 2010 and 2011
because there had been no exploration activities nor had there been any reserves
established and we could not project any future cash flows or salvage value and
the acquisition costs were not recoverable.
F-8
5. CAPITAL STOCK
The authorized capital of the Company is 75,000,000 common shares with a par
value of $ 0.001 per share.
On November 1, 2010, the company issued 30,000,000 private placement common
shares to its founder for cash of $30,000.
There are no further issuances as at August 31, 2011.
6. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Officer-directors have acquired 100% of the outstanding common capital stock of
the company.
7. INCOME TAXES
For the year ended August 31, 2011 and from inception (September 29, 2010) to
August 31, 2011, the Company incurred net operating losses and, accordingly, no
provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income
taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax
assets. At August 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $16,503 of federal and
state net operating losses. The net operating loss carryforwards, if not
utilized, will begin to expire in 2031. The provision for income taxes consisted
of the following components for the periods ended August 31:
Components of net deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance, are as
follows for the periods ended August 31:
August 31, 2011
---------------
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carry forwards 5,776
Valuation allowance (5,776)
-------
Total deferred tax assets $ 0
=======
The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of August 31, 2011 was
$5,776. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred
tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the
periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management
considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax liabilities, projected
future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As
a result, management determined it was more likely than not the deferred tax
assets would not be realized as of April 30, 2011 and recorded a full valuation
allowance.

Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted
average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per
share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common and
F-13
common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the
exercise of the common share rights unless the exercise becomes anti-dilutive
and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized on the sale and delivery of a product or the completion of
a service provided.
Advertising and Market Development
The company expenses advertising and market development costs are research data
expenses.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not
be recoverable. The assets are subject to impairment consideration under ASC
360-10-35-17 if events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount
might not be recoverable. When the Company determines that an impairment
analysis should be done, the analysis will be performed using the rules of ASC
930-360-35, Asset Impairment, and 360-10-15-3 through 15-5, Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
Environmental Requirements
At the report date environmental requirements related to a formally held mineral
claim are unknown and therefore any estimate of future costs cannot be made.
Mineral Property Acquisitions Costs
Costs of acquisition and option costs of mineral rights are capitalized upon
acquisition. Mine development costs incurred to develop new ore deposits, to
expand the capacity of mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance
of current production are also capitalized once proven and probable reserves
exist and the property is a commercially mineable property. Costs incurred to
maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged
to operations. If the Company does not continue with exploration after the
completion of the feasibility study, the mineral rights will be expensed at that
time. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to mining costs including related
property and equipment costs. To determine if these costs are in excess of their
recoverable amount periodic evaluation of carrying value of capitalized costs
and any related property and equipment costs are based upon expected future cash
flows and/or estimated salvage value in accordance with Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) 360-10-35-15, Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
Various factors could impact our ability to achieve forecasted production
schedules. Additionally, commodity prices, capital expenditure requirements and
reclamation costs could differ from the assumptions the Company may use in cash
flow models from exploration stage mineral interests involves further risks in
addition to those factors applicable to mineral interests where proven and
F-14
proven and probable reserves have been identified, due to the lower level of
confidence that the identified mineralized material can ultimately be mined
economically.
Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and
expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were assumed in
preparing these financial statements.
Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be
their estimated fair values due to their short term maturities.
Fiscal Periods
The Company's fiscal year end is August 31
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting
pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.
3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
company will continue as a going concern. The company does not have a sufficient
working capital for its planned activity, and to service its debt, which raises
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Continuation of the company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining
additional working capital and the management of the company has developed a
strategy which it believes will accomplish this objective through short term
loans from an officer-director, and additional equity investments, which will
enable the company to continue operations for the coming year.
4. ACQUISITION OF A MINERAL CLAIM
During 2010 the company acquired mineral claims for $15,000 known as the Venus
Property.
The Venus Molybdenum Property is located approximately 35 kilometers north of
Vancouver
BC, and about 2 kilometers north of the community of Britannia Beach, BC. The
property is crossed by Highway 99, "The Sea to Sky Highway" and the CN Railroad.
The Venus Molybdenum Property comprises one mineral claim totaling 62.12
hectares in area. The Venus molybdenum occurrence was discovered in the late
1960's and developed by a company known as Squamish Silica and Stone Co. Ltd.
The occurrence is located about 250 meters northwest of Highway 99.
The acquisitions costs have been impaired and expensed during 2010 and 2011
because there had been no exploration activities nor had there been any reserves
established and we could not project any future cash flows or salvage value and
the acquisition costs were not recoverable.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at
the closing specified in the underwriting agreements certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
a. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
1. To include any propectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
2. 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement.
3. To include any material information with respect to the plan of

II-2
(h) 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.
