Summary
Prospective investors are urged to read this prospectus in its entirety.
We are involved in the business of mineral property exploration. To date, we
have not conducted any exploration on our sole mineral property interst, the
Wanapitei River property located in Scadding Township, approximately 18 miles
northeast of the city of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. We do not own the Wanapitei
River property. We have the option to acquire a 100% interest in the mineral
exploration rights relating to one mineral claim totaling approximately 164
hectares (405 acres). In order to exercise this option and acquire this claim,
we need to pay the property owner, Mr. Terry Loney, of Garson, Ontario, a cash
payment of $7,200 and incur $115,000 in exploration expenditures as follows:
o $5,000 by December 31, 2004 (completed);
o an additional $10,000 by December 31, 2005; and
o an additional $100,000 by December 31, 2006.
Our objective is to conduct mineral exploration activities on the Wanapitei
River property in order to assess whether it possesses economic reserves of
gold, copper, nickel and platinum-group metals. We have not yet identified any
economic mineralization on the property. Our proposed exploration program is
designed to search for an economic mineral deposit.
We are planning to conduct only the preliminary stages of exploration work on
the Wanapitei River property. We will need to spend extensive amounts of money
and time on additional exploration before we are able to determine whether the
property contains economic quantities of mineralization.
Following the effective date of this registration statement, we intend to apply
to have our shares quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board market. However, there is no
assurance that this application will be successful or that any market will
develop for our stock.
We were incorporated on February 2, 2004 under the laws of the state of Nevada.
Our principal offices are located at #5 2118 Eastern Avenue, North Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada. Our telephone number is (604) 986-9633.
The Offering:
Securities Being Offered Up to 2,309,000 shares of common stock.

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.
IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUT BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
6
<page>
Our current operating funds are less than necessary to complete all intended
exploration of the Wanapitei River property, and therefore we will need to
obtain additional financing in order to complete our business plan. As of
September 30, 2004, we had cash in the amount of $20,356. In order to exercise
our option to acquire the Wanapiteir River property, we need to incur $5,000 in
exploration expenditures by December 31, 2004, an additional $10,000 in
exploration expenditures by December 31, 2005 and an additional $100,000 in
exploration expenditures by December 31, 2006. We have not incurred any
exploration expenditures to date. We will need additional funds in order to
exercise the option respecting the Wanapitei River property.
We will also require additional financing in order to determine whether the
property contains economic mineralization. Even if we complete the currently
recommended exploration programs on the Wanapitei River property and they are
successful, we will need to spend substantial additional funds on further
drilling before we will ever know if there is a commercially viable mineral
deposit on the property. We will also require additional financing if the costs
of the exploration of the Wanapitei River property are greater than anticipated.
As well, we will require additional financing to sustain our business operations
if we are not successful in earning revenues once exploration is complete. We do
not currently have any arrangements for financing. Obtaining additional
financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market price
for metals, investor acceptance of our property 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 presently available to us is through the
sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to
existing shareholders. The only other anticipated alternative for the financing
of further exploration would be our sale of a partial interest in the Wanapitei
River property to a third party in exchange for cash or exploration
expenditures, which is not presently contemplated.
BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT COMMENCED BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF
BUSINESS FAILURE.
Because we have not commenced exploration on the Wanapitei River property, we
have no way to evaluate the likelihood that our business will be successful. We
were incorporated on February 2, 2004 and to date have been involved primarily
in organizational activities and securing the option to acquire the mineral
exploration rights to the Wanapitei River property. 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 exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur
increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect
to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we
are unable to generate significant revenues from development of the Wanapitei
River property and the production of minerals from the claims, we will not be
able to earn profits or continue operations.
There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that
we will prove successful, and we can provide investors with no assurance 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.
7
<page>
BECAUSE MANAGEMENT HAS NO TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE IN MINERAL EXPLORATION, OUR
BUSINESS HAS A HIGHER RISK OF FAILURE.
None of our directors has any technical training in the field of geology and
specifically in the areas of exploring for, starting and operating a mine. As a
result, we may not be able to recognize and take advantage of potential
acquisition and exploration opportunities in the sector without the aid of
qualified geological consultants. As well, with no direct training or
experience, our management may not be fully aware of the specific requirements
related to working in this industry. Their decisions and choices may not be well
thought out and our operations, earnings and ultimate financial success may
suffer irreparable harm as a result.
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. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on
our financial position. We do not have a liability insurance policy respecting
these risks.
EVEN IF WE DISCOVER COMMERCIAL RESERVES OF PRECIOUS METALS ON THE WANAPITEI
RIVER PROPERTY, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMMENCE COMMERCIAL
PRODUCTION.
The Wanapitei River property does not contain any known bodies of
mineralization. If our exploration programs are successful in establishing
copper of commercial tonnage and grade, we will require additional funds in
order to place the property into commercial production. At this time, we cannot
assure investors that we will be able to obtain such financing.
WE NEED TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN IF OUR BUSINESS IS TO SUCCEED.
The Independent Auditors' Report to our audited financial statements for the
period ended June 30, 2004 indicates that there are a number of factors that
raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Such
factors identified in the report are our net loss position, our failure to
attain profitable operations and our dependence upon obtaining adequate
financing. If we are not able to continue as a going concern, it is likely
investors will lose their investments.
8
<page>
IF WE DO NOT INCUR AN ADDITIONAL $110,000 IN EXPLORATION EXPENDITURES ON THE
WANAPITEI RIVER PROPERTY, WE WILL NOT ACQUIRE ANY INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY AND
OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
In order to exercise the option relating to the Wanapitei River property, we are
obligated to incur exploration expenditures of $10,000 by December 31, 2005 and
an additional $100,000 in expenditures by December 31, 2006. We will require
additional capital to fund the continued exploration and exercise the option. If
we do not meet the exploration expenditures required by the option agreement, we
will not obtain any interest in the Wanapitei River property.
IF WE BECOME SUBJECT TO BURDENSOME GOVERNMENT REGULATION OR OTHER LEGAL
UNCERTAINTIES, OUR BUSINESS WILL BE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED.
There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral
property exploration and development. Under Ontario mining law, to engage in
certain types of exploration will require work permits, the posting of bonds,
and the performance of remediation work for any physical disturbance to the
land. While these current laws do will not affect our current exploration plans,
if we proceed to commence drilling operations on the Wanapitei River property,
we will incur modest regulatory compliance costs.
In addition, the legal and regulatory environment that pertains to the
exploration of ore is uncertain and may change. Uncertainty and new regulations
could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from exploring for ore
deposits. The growth of demand for ore may also be significantly slowed. This
could delay growth in potential demand for and limit our ability to generate
revenues. In addition to new laws and regulations being adopted, existing laws
may be applied to mining that have not as yet been applied. These new laws may
increase our cost of doing business with the result that our financial condition
and operating results may be harmed.
BECAUSE OUR DIRECTORS OWN 68.4% OF OUR OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK, THEY WILL HAVE
SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OVER CORPORATE DECISIONS THAT MAY BE DISADVANTAGEOUS TO
OTHER MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS.
Our directors own approximately 68.4% of the outstanding shares of our common
stock. Accordingly, they will have significant influence in determining the
outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including mergers,
consolidations, and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. The
interests of our directors may differ from the interests of the other
stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to
other shareholders.
BECAUSE OUR PRESIDENT HAS OTHER BUSINESS INTERESTS, SHE MAY NOT BE ABLE OR
WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS,
CAUSING OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
Our president, Ms. Lori Bolton only spends approximately 30% of her business
time providing her services to us. While Ms. Bolton presently possesses adequate
time to attend to our interests, it is possible that the demands on her from her
other obligations could increase with the result that she would no longer be
able to devote sufficient time to the management of our business.

<page>
IF A MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK DOES NOT DEVELOP, SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE UNABLE TO
SELL THEIR SHARES.
There is currently no market for our common stock and we can provide no
assurance that a market will develop. We currently plan to apply for listing of
our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board upon the effectiveness
of the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part. However,
we can provide investors with no assurance that our shares will be traded on the
bulletin board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize. If no
market is ever developed for our shares, it will be difficult for shareholders
to sell their stock. In such a case, shareholders may find that they are unable
to achieve benefits from their investment.
Forward-Looking Statements
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future,
intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You
should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our
actual results are most likely to differ materially from those anticipated in
these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by
us described in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in this prospectus.
Use Of Proceeds
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock offered
through this prospectus by the selling shareholders.
Determination Of Offering Price
The selling shareholders will sell our shares at $0.10 per share until our
shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market
prices or privately negotiated prices. We determined this offering price based
upon the price of the last sale of our common stock to investors.
Dilution
The common stock to be sold by the selling shareholders is common stock that is
currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our
existing shareholders.
Selling Shareholders
The selling shareholders named in this prospectus are offering all of the
2,309,000 shares of common stock offered through this prospectus. These shares
were acquired from us in private placements that were exempt from registration
under Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. The shares include the
following:

All of the above shareholders beneficially own and have sole voting and
investment power over all shares or rights to the shares registered in their
names. The numbers in this table assume that none of the selling shareholders
sells shares of common stock not being offered in this prospectus or purchases
additional shares of common stock, and assumes that all shares offered are sold.
The percentages are based on 7,309,000 shares of common stock outstanding on the
date of this prospectus.
14
<page>
None of the selling shareholders:
(1) has had a material relationship with us other than as a
shareholder at any time within the past three years; or
(2) has ever been one of our officers or directors.
Plan Of Distribution
The selling shareholders may sell some or all of their common stock in one or
more transactions, including block transactions:
The selling shareholders will sell our shares at $0.10 per share until our
shares are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market
prices or privately negotiated prices. We determined this offering price based
upon the price of the last sale of our common stock to investors.
The shares may also be sold in compliance with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's Rule 144.
We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of the common stock. These
are estimated to be $11,000. The selling shareholders, however, will pay any
commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any
sale of the common stock.
The selling shareholders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act
and the Securities Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock. In
particular, during such times as the selling shareholders may be deemed to be
engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be
an underwriter, they must comply with applicable law and may, among other
things:
1. Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with
our common stock;
2. Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered,
such copies of this prospectus, as amended from time to time, as may be
required by such broker or dealer; and
3. Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any
person to purchase any of our securities other than as permitted under the
Securities Exchange Act.
The Securities Exchange Commission has also 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
system).
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny
stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk
disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:
* contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for
penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
15
<page>
* 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;
* 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;
* contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on
disciplinary actions;
* defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the
conduct of trading penny stocks; and
* contains such other information and is in such form (including language,
type, size, and format) as the Commission shall require by rule or
regulation;
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to affecting any transaction in a
penny stock, the customer:
* with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
* the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the
transaction;
* 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
* 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 written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading
activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to
these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling
those securities.
The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the
Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stock for the
foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes
it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market,
which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her
investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of
selling his or her shares in our company will be subject to rules 15g-1 through
15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply
with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny
stock.

Disclosure Of Commission Position Of Indemnification For
Securities Act Liabilities
Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised
Statutes and our Bylaws. We have been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission 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 is asserted by one of our directors, 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 court of appropriate jurisdiction. We will then be
governed by the court's decision.
Organization Within Last Five Years
We were incorporated on February 2, 2004 under the laws of the state of Nevada.
On that date, Lori Bolton and Erika Kumar were appointed as our directors. As
well, Ms. Bolton was appointed as our president and chief executive officer,
while Ms. Kumar was appointed as our secretary and treasurer.
Description Of Business
In General
We intend to commence business operations as an exploration stage company
engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties with a view to
exploiting any mineral deposits we discover that demonstrate economic
feasibility. We have the sole and exclusive option to acquire a 100% interest in
one mineral claim known as the Wanapitei River property.
Our plan of operation is to undertake exploration programs on the Wanapitei
River property in order to ascertain whether it possesses economic quantities of
gold, copper, nickel and platinum-group metals. There is no assurance that a
20
<page>
commercially viable mineral deposit exists on this property. Further exploration
will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal
feasibility of the Wanapitei River property is determined.
We are not a "blank check company" as the term is defined in Regulation C, Rule
419. We do not intend to merge with or acquire another company in the
foreseeable future.
Wanapitei River Property Option Agreement
On April 21, 2004, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Terry Loney, of Garson,
Ontario, whereby he granted us the sole and exclusive option to acquire a 100%
interest in the Wanapitei River property which is located in Scadding Township,
approximately 18 miles northeast of the City of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. The
area of the property is approximately 164 hectares.
In order to acquire a 100% interest in the Wanapitei River property from Mr.
Loney, we must:
o pay him $7,200 (we paid this amount to him upon the execution of
the option agreement);
o incur exploration expenditures on the property of at least
$115,000 as follows:
o at least $5,000 by December 31, 2004; o at least an additional $10,000
by December 31, 2005; and o at least an additional $100,000 by December
31, 2006.
We have incurred a total of $5,000 in exploration expenditures on the Wanapitei
River property. We are awaiting the results of our initial exploration program.
If we fail to incur an additional $10,000 in exploration expenditures on the
property by December 31, 2005, or an additional $100,000 by December 31, 2006,
our option to acquire the 100% interest in the property will terminate and we
will not own any interest in the property.
Mr. Loney holds title to the Wanapitei River claim. Our option agreement with
him requires that he transfer the claim to us if we successfully exercise the
option. Mr. Loney is at arm's length to us and has no relationship to us other
than as the owner of the Wanapitei River property.
Description, Location and Access
The Wanapitei River property is located in Scadding Township in Sudbury Mining
Division, approximately 18 miles northeast of the City of Sudbury, Ontario,
Canada. The claim is approximately centered on at 46(Degree) 39' North latitude
and 80(Degree) 41' West longitude. The property consists of one mining claim and
is registered as claim number 3018926.
Access to the claims is via Regional Road 86 (the Falconbridge Highway or
Airport Road) by following the abandoned railway right-of-way that now forms
part of the Trans-Canada Trail, traveling north to the claim.
21
<page>
The region of the Wanapitei River property is classified as having a humid high
cool temperature ecoclimate. The average mean annual temperature is 3.5(0)
Celsius. The average daily temperature range in summer is from 11.8(0) to
23.1(0) Celsius, while in winter the average range is from -16.8(0) to -6.9(0)
Celsius. Average annual precipitation for the area is 872 millimeters and the
month-end snow cover is deepest in January and February with an average of 40
centimeters. The Wanapitei River property may be explored year round, although
it is easier to conduct exploration during the spring, summer and autumn when
there is no snow accumulation on the property surface.
The dominant land cover is mixed wood forest of sugar maple, yellow birch,
poplar, eastern hemlock and eastern white pine. Wetter sites support red maple,
black ash, white spruce, tamarack and eastern white cedar.
Infrastructure and Condition of the Property
The property is free of mineral workings as only initial sampling has been
conducted on the Wanapitei River property. There is no equipment or other
infrastructure facilities located on the property. There is no power source
located on the property. We will need to use portable generators if we require a
power source for exploration of the property.
Rock Formation and Mineralization
The Wanapitei property area is underlain by rocks of the Huronian Supergroup.
The Huronian Supergroup is a belt of rocks that is 320 kilometers long and 64
kilometers wide that is located in the vicinity of Lake Huron's north shore.
They consist of sedimentary rocks, which are rocks formed by the deposit of
layers of materials laid down by rivers and streams. In the southwestern part of
the Wanapitei River property, these Huronian sediments are predominantly
represented by arkoses and quartzites. Arkoses are course sandstone rocks while
quartzites are formed through the transformation of sandstone resulting from
volcanic heat and pressure. Gold anomalies are often found in areas with arkose
and quartzite. Wackes, soft dark-colored rocks or clay, and limestones are
present in the remainder of the property area.
Exploration History
Occurrences of gold in the area of the property have been reported since the
late 1800's. However, the only recorded work over the current area of the
Wanapitei River property is an airborne geophysical survey that the Canadian
Nickel Company Ltd. conducted in 1981. Geophysical surveying is the search for
mineral deposits by measuring the physical property of near-surface rocks, and
looking for unusual responses caused by the presence of mineralization.
Electrical, magnetic, gravitational, seismic and radioactive properties are the
ones most commonly measured. The survey on the Wanapitei River property did not
result in the discovery of any significant anomalies that would indicate the
potential presence of mineralization.
22
<page>
Falconbridge Limited and Inco Limited conducted undocumented exploration work
over the property. The results of this work are not in the public domain.
Geological Assessment Report: Wanapitei River Property
We retained Mr. John M. Siriunas, a professional engineer from Milton Ontario,
to conduct an independent review of the Wanapitei River property. He has
concluded that additional exploration is recommended on the property to
determine whether or not it has the potential to host an economic mineral
deposit. He recommends a three phase exploration program to evaluate the
Wanapitei River property.
Phase one would consist of prospecting the area to establish the preferred
orientation of the grid emplacement. Grid emplacement involves dividing a
portion of the property being explored into small sections. Results from
exploration are recorded according to the area of the grid that was explored.
We have completed the phase one exploration program and expect to have results
from the phase one exploration on the Wanapitei River property in March 2005 and
will make a decision regarding proceeding with phase two shortly thereafter.
Phase two would involve trenching of the target zones to supply critical
information at an early stage of exploration. Trenching involves removing
surface soil using a backhoe or bulldozer. Samples are then taken from the
bedrock below and analysed for mineral content.
Phase three would consist of line cutting, magnetic and VLF-EM surveys,
geological mapping and geochemical analysis.
Line cutting involves removing bush from the property in order to produce
straight clearings. This provides grid boundaries for exploration work.
A magnetic survey is used to measure the strength of the earth's magnetic field.
Variations in the magnetic readings on the property may indicate the increased
likelihood of precious or base minerals in the area.
VLF-EM surveys consist of two separate surveys: the very low frequency (VLF)
survey and the electromagnetic survey. Very low frequency surveys use radio
waves to determine whether rocks on a mineral property conduct electricity.
Electromagnetic surveys use electricity and magnets to determine conductivity.
Almost all of the precious and base metals that the Company seeks are above
average conductors of electricity and will affect the VLF and electromagnetic
readings.
Geological mapping involves plotting previous exploration data relating to the
Wanapitei River Property on a map in order to determine the best property
locations to conduct subsequent exploration work.
Geochemical analysis consists of a geologist and his assistant gathering grab
samples with the most potential to host economically significant mineralization
based on their observation of any surface rocks. All samples gathered are sent
to a laboratory where they are crushed and analysed for metal content.

Proposed Budget
Phase I Prospecting -Field Work and analysis $ 5,000
Total Phase I Costs $ 5,000
Phase II Trenching -Equipment $ 4,500
-supervision, fieldwork, analysis $ 5,500
Total Phase II Costs $ 10,000
Phase III Linecutting $ 5,200
Geophysics -Magnetics, VLF-EM $ 3,000
-consulting and interpretation $ 2,800
Geology -Mapping, analysis, interpretation $ 38,000
Geochemistry -Sampling, analysis, interpretation $ 26,000
Bonding and reclamation costs $ 5,000
Total Phase III Costs $ 80,000
Total Program Costs $ 95,000
We will make a decision whether to proceed with each successive phase of the
exploration program upon completion of the previous phase and upon our analysis
of the results that program. At the completion of each phase, the consulting
geologist who conducts the program will review the results of exploration with
our directors. Based upon this review, the directors will then determine whether
to proceed with the next phase of exploration. In making their decision, the
directors will heavily rely upon the advice of the consulting geologist. If no
further exploration is recommended on the Wanapitei River property after the
completion of any phase, we will likely allow the option respecting the property
to lapse. If this occurs, we will not own any interest in the property.
If our interest in the Wanapitei River property lapses, we will attempt to raise
additional funds in order to acquire an interest in an alternative mineral
property. We do not currently have any confirmed source of financing or specific
mineral properties in mind if this occurs.
Compliance with Government Regulation
We will be required to conduct all mineral exploration activities in accordance
with the Mining Act of Ontario. While we do not require any authorization to
proceed with the initial two phases of the recommended exploration program, we
will be required to obtain work permits from the Ontario Ministry of Northern
Development and Mines for the Phase III drilling program and any subsequent
exploration work that results in a physical disturbance to the land if the
program calls for the disturbance of more than 10,000 square meters of the
property surface, or such areas that would total that amount when combined. A
work permit is also required for the erection of structures on the property.
There is no charge to obtain a work permit under the Mining Act.
24
<page>
When our exploration program proceeds to the drilling stage, scheduled for the
fall of 2005, we may be required to post small bonds if the rights of a private
land owner may be affected. We anticipate that the cost of a bond for the phase
three drilling program would not exceed $5,000.
We may also be required to file statements of work with the Ministry of Northern
Development and Mines. Such statements would be filed following the completion
of the exploration and would cost approximately $500. The filing of statements
of work would not have any impact on the timing or completion of our exploration
program. We will also be required to undertake remediation work on any
exploration that results in physical disturbance to the land. The cost of
remediation work will vary according to the degree of physical disturbance.
We will not incur any regulatory compliance costs in the first two phases of
proposed exploration. We have budgeted for regulatory compliance costs in the
proposed phase three exploration program. 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 exploration programs. Because
there is presently no information on the size, tenor, or quality of any minerals
or reserve at this time, it is impossible to assess the impact of any capital
expenditures on earnings or our competitive position.
An environmental review is not required under the Environmental Assessment Act
to proceed with the recommended exploration program on our mineral claims.
Employees
We have no employees as of the date of this prospectus other than our two
directors.
Research and Development Expenditures
We have not incurred any other research or development expenditures since our
incorporation.
Subsidiaries
We do not have any subsidiaries.
Patents and Trademarks
We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.
Reports to Security Holders
Although we are not required to deliver an annual report to our security
holders, we will voluntarily send one to any security holder that requests one.
The annual report will include our audited financial statements for our fiscal
year-end.
25
<page>
Upon the effectiveness of this registration statement, we will be a reporting
company and will file our annual report on Form 10-KSB, interim reports on
10-QSB and current reports on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The public may read and copy any materials we file with the
Commission at its Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington,
D.C. 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 that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other
information regarding issuers that file electronically with the Commission. The
address of that site is http://www.sec.gov.
Plan Of Operation
Our plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this
prospectus is to complete the phase two and three exploration programs on the
Wanapitei River property recommended by John Siriunas. We anticipate that the
phase two program will cost approximately $10,000, while the phase three program
will cost about $80,000. To date, we have completed the first phase of
exploration on the Wanapitei River property and are awaiting results.
We expect to have results from the phase one exploration on the Wanapitei River
property in March 2005 and will make a decision regarding proceeding with phase
two shortly thereafter.
We plan on commencing the phase two exploration program on the Wanapitei River
property during the spring of 2005. This program will take approximately one
month to complete at an estimated cost of $10,000. We would then commence the
phase three exploration program in the summer or fall of 2005. This phase would
take two months to complete and cost approximately $80,000.
Subject to availability, we intend to retain Mr. John Siriunas, to oversee the
proposed exploration of the Wanapitei River property given his familiarity with
the property area and his involvement with the completion of the phase one
program. We do not have any verbal or written agreement regarding the retention
of Mr. Siriunas, though he has indicated that he will be available to provide
his services. We will not have to rent or purchase any equipment for
exploration. All required equipment is provided by the consulting geologist who
oversees the programs.
In addition to exploration costs, we anticipate spending an additional $15,000
on administrative fees, including fees payable in connection with the filing of
this registration statement, our compliance with reporting obligations and
covering general administrative costs.
Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be
$105,000. While we have sufficient funds on hand to cover the costs of the phase
two exploration program, we will require additional funding in order to proceed
with the phase three exploration program and for administrative costs. We
anticipate that additional funding will be required in the form of equity
financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we cannot provide
investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding
from the sale of our common stock to fund the second phase of the exploration
program. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding
the complete exploration program. We do not have any arrangements in place for
any future equity financing. We may also seek to obtain short-term loans from
our directors, although no such arrangement has been made.

Results Of Operations For The Period From Inception Through September 30, 2004
We did not earn any revenues from our incorporation on February 2, 2004 to
September 30, 2004. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we
have entered into commercial production on the Wanapitei River property. We have
not commenced the exploration stage of our business and can provide no assurance
that we will discover economic mineralization on the property, or if such
minerals are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production.
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $46,137 for the period from our
inception on February 2, 2004 to September 30, 2004. These operating expenses
were comprised of legal and organization costs of $25,365, mineral property
costs of $7,200, management services donated by our president, Ms. Lori Bolton,
recorded at $6,000, accounting and audit fees of $5,463, rent costs donated by
Ms. Bolton recorded at $2,000 and bank charges of $109.
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining
financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors
believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a
going concern.
Description Of Property
We have the sole and exclusive option to acquire a 100% interest in the mineral
claim known as the Wanapitei River property. We do not own or lease an interest
in any other property.
Certain Relationships And Related Transactions
Our president, Ms. Lori Bolton, provided us with a cash advance of $50 in order
to facilitate the opening of our corporate bank account. The amount is
unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no specific terms of repayment.
Ms. Bolton provides management services and office premises to us free of
charge. The services are valued at $750 per month and the office premises are
valued at $250 per month.
Otherwise, none of the following parties has, since our date of incorporation,
had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction with us or in
any presently proposed transaction that has or will materially affect us:
* Any of our directors or officers;
* Any person proposed as a nominee for election as a director;
* Any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, shares
carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to our
outstanding shares of common stock;
* Our sole promoter, Lori Bolton.
* Any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons who has the same
house as such person.

Market For Common Equity And Related Stockholder Matters
No Public Market for Common Stock
There is presently no public market for our common stock. We anticipate applying
for trading of our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board upon the
effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a
part. However, we can provide no assurance that our shares will be traded on the
bulletin board or, if traded, that a public market will materialize.
Stockholders of Our Common Shares
We have 34 registered shareholders.
Rule 144 Shares
A total of 5,000,000 shares of our common stock are available for
resale to the public after March 23, 2005 in accordance with the volume and
trading limitations of Rule 144 of the Act. In general, under Rule 144 as
currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned shares of a company's
common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell within any three month
period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
1. 1% of the number of shares of the company's common stock then outstanding
which, in our case, will equal 73,090 shares as of the date of this
prospectus; or
2. the average weekly trading volume of the company's common stock during the
four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect
to the sale.
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice
requirements and to the availability of current public information about the
company.
Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not one of the company's affiliates at any
time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned
the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, is entitled to sell
shares without complying with the manner of sale, public information, volume
limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.
As of the date of this prospectus, persons who are our affiliates hold all of
the 5,000,000 shares that may be sold pursuant to Rule 144.
Because the shares eligible for resale under Rule 144 were obtained for $0.001
each, they may be sold for prices much lower than the shares offered hereby and
may have a downward depressive effect on the market.
Stock Option Grants
To date, we have not granted any stock options.

Registration Rights
We have not granted registration rights to the selling shareholders or to any
other persons.
Dividends
There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that
prevent us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do
prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the
distribution of the dividend:
1. we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course
of business; or
2. our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the
amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have
preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.
We have not declared any dividends, and we do not plan to declare any dividends
in the foreseeable future.

Independent Auditors' Report
----------------------------
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
of Matrix Ventures Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Matrix Ventures Inc. (An
Exploration Stage Company) as of June 30, 2004 and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period from February 2,
2004 (Date of Inception) to June 30, 2004. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with 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 aforementioned financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Matrix Ventures Inc. (An
Exploration Stage Company), as of June 30, 2004, and the results of its
operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity for the period from February 2,
2004 (Date of Inception) to June 30, 2004, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles used 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 1 to the financial
statements, the Company is in the early exploration stage and has losses from
operations since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard
to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
(Expressed in US Dollars)
Note 1 Nature and Continuance of Operations
------------------------------------
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 2,
2004. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company as defined by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 7. The
Company has acquired a mineral property located in the Province of
Ontario, Canada and has not yet determined whether this property
contains reserves that are economically recoverable. The
recoverability of amounts from the property will be dependent upon
the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation
of the Company's interest in the underlying property, the ability
of the Company to obtain necessary financing to satisfy the
expenditure requirements under the property agreement and to
complete the development of the property and upon future
profitable production or proceeds for the sale thereof.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting
in an accumulated deficit of $41,164 since inception and further
losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable
operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing
to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from
normal business operations when they come due.
The Company is planning to file an SB-2 Registration Statement to
register 2,309,000 shares of common stock for resale by existing
shareholders of the Company with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Company will not receive any proceeds
from the resale of shares of common stock by the selling
stockholders.
Note 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 expressed in US dollars. The
Company's fiscal year end is June 30.
Mineral Property Costs
----------------------
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation
on February 2, 2004 and has not yet realized any revenues from its
planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and
exploration of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and
exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred. When it
has been determined that a mineral property can be economically
developed as a result of establishing proven and probable
reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property, are
capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the
units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable
reserve.

(Expressed in US Dollars)
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
------------------------------------------
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
--------------------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
----------------------------
The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The
financial statements of the Company are translated to United
States dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52 "Foreign Currency
Translation". Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate
prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on
translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated
transactions or balances are included in the determination of
income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in
Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these
financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to
offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Financial Instruments
---------------------
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities
and due to related parties approximates their fair value because
of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company's
operations are in Canada and virtually all of its assets and
liabilities are giving rise to significant exposure to market
risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk
is the risk to the Company's operations that arise from
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of
volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use
derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency
risk.
Environmental Costs
-------------------
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are
charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures
that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations,
and which do not contribute to current or future revenue
generation, are charged to operations. Liabilities are recorded
when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are
probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the
timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion
of a feasibility study or the Company's commitments to plan of
action based on the then known facts.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
------------------------------------------
Income Taxes
------------
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the
accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company
has adopted SFAS No. 109 as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No.
109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net
operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net
operating losses have not been recognized in these financial
statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely
than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward
in future years.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
------------------------------------
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance
with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires
presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on
the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by
dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders
(numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding
(denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all
dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period
using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock
using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the
average stock price for the period is used in determining the
number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of
stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive
potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
Stock-based Compensation
------------------------
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Financial Accounting Standard No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 148"), an
amendment of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). The purpose of SFAS
No. 148 is to: (1) provide alternative methods of transition for
an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method
of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, (2) amend the
disclosure provisions to require prominent disclosure about the
effects on reported net income of an entity's accounting policy
decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation, and
(3) to require disclosure of those effects in interim financial
information. The disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 were
effective for the Company for the year ended June 30, 2004.

(Expressed in US Dollars)
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
------------------------------------------
Stock-based Compensation (continued)
------------------------
The Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based
employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", ("APB No. 25") and
comply with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 as amended
by SFAS No. 148 as described above. In addition, in accordance
with SFAS No. 123 the Company applies the fair value method using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in accounting for options
granted to consultants. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense for
employees is recognized based on the difference, if any, on the
date of grant between the estimated fair value of the Company's
stock and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.
Compensation expense is recognized immediately for past services
and pro-rata for future services over the option-vesting period.
To June 30, 2004 the Company has not granted any stock options.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for
the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in
accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the
Emerging Issues Task Force in Issue No. 96-18. Costs are measured
at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received
or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued,
whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity
instruments issued for consideration other than employee services
is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or
completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as
defined by EITF 96-18.
The Company has also adopted the provisions of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No.44, Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - An
Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25 ("FIN 44"), which provides
guidance as to certain applications of APB 25.
Comprehensive Loss
------------------
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes
standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and
its components in the financial statements. As at June 30, 2004,
the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and,
therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in
the financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity
of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash
equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
----------------------------
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
credit risk consist principally of cash. Cash was deposited with a
high quality credit institution.

Note 3 Mineral Property
----------------
Pursuant to a Mineral Property Option Agreement ("Agreement")
dated April 21, 2004, the Company was granted the right to acquire
a 100% undivided right, title and interest in 16 mineral claims,
located in the Scadding Township, District of Sudbury, Ontario,
Canada. In order to keep the Agreement in good standing the
Company paid $7,200 and must incur further exploration
expenditures of $115,000 as follows:
(a) $5,000 by December 31, 2004;
(b) $10,000 by December 31, 2005; and
(c) $100,000 by December 31, 2006.
Note 4 Related Party Balances/Transactions
-----------------------------------
(a) The President provided a cash advance of $50 to the Company
during the period ended June 30, 2004. The amount is
unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no specific terms of
repayment.
(b) The President provides management services and office premises
to the Company. The services are valued at $750 per month and
the office premises are valued at $250 per month. During the
period ended June 30, 2004 donated services of $3,750 and
donated rent expense of $1,250 were charged to operations.
Note 5 Income Taxes
------------
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the
accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company
has incurred net operating losses of $40,800 which commence
expiring in 2024. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is required
to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried
forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been
recognized in these financial statements because the Company
cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the
net operating losses carried forward in future years.
The components of the net deferred tax asset at June 30, 2004, and
the statutory tax rate, the effective tax rate and the elected
amount of the valuation allowance are indicated below:

NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2004
(Expressed in US Dollars)
(Unaudited)
Note 1 Nature and Continuance of Operations
------------------------------------
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 2,
2004. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company as defined by
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 7. The
Company has acquired a mineral property located in the Province of
Ontario, Canada and has not yet determined whether this property
contains reserves that are economically recoverable. The
recoverability of amounts from the property will be dependent upon
the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation
of the Company's interest in the underlying property, the ability
of the Company to obtain necessary financing to satisfy the
expenditure requirements under the property agreement and to
complete the development of the property and upon future
profitable production or proceeds for the sale thereof.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis. The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting
in an accumulated deficit of $46,137 since inception and further
losses are anticipated in the development of its business raising
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable
operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing
to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from
normal business operations when they come due.
The Company filed an SB-2 Registration Statement to register
2,309,000 shares of common stock for resale by existing
shareholders of the Company with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission. The Company will not receive any proceeds
from the resale of shares of common stock by the selling
stockholders.
Note 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 expressed in US dollars. The
Company's fiscal year end is June 30.
Mineral Property Costs
----------------------
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation
on February 2, 2004 and has not yet realized any revenues from its
planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and
exploration of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and
exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred. When it
has been determined that a mineral property can be economically
developed as a result of establishing proven and probable
reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property, are
capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the
units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable
reserve.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
------------------------------------------
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
---------------------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
----------------------------
The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar. The
financial statements of the Company are translated to United
States dollars in accordance with SFAS No. 52 "Foreign Currency
Translation". Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in
foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate
prevailing at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses arising on
translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated
transactions or balances are included in the determination of
income. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in
Canadian dollars. The Company has not, to the date of these
financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to
offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
Financial Instruments
---------------------
The carrying value of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities
and due to related parties approximates their fair value because
of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company's
operations are in Canada and virtually all of its assets and
liabilities are giving rise to significant exposure to market
risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk
is the risk to the Company's operations that arise from
fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of
volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use
derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency
risk.
Environmental Costs
-------------------
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are
charged to operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures
that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations,
and which do not contribute to current or future revenue
generation, are charged to operations. Liabilities are recorded
when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are
probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the
timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion
of a feasibility study or the Company's commitments to plan of
action based on the then known facts.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
------------------------------------------
Income Taxes
------------
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the
accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company
has adopted SFAS No. 109 as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No.
109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net
operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net
operating losses have not been recognized in these financial
statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely
than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward
in future years.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
------------------------------------
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance
with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires
presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on
the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by
dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders
(numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding
(denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all
dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period
using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock
using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the
average stock price for the period is used in determining the
number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of
stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive
potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
Stock-based Compensation
------------------------
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Financial Accounting Standard No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure" ("SFAS No. 148"), an
amendment of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"). The purpose of SFAS
No. 148 is to: (1) provide alternative methods of transition for
an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method
of accounting for stock-based employee compensation, (2) amend the
disclosure provisions to require prominent disclosure about the
effects on reported net income of an entity's accounting policy
decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation, and
(3) to require disclosure of those effects in interim financial
information. The disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 were
effective for the Company for the year ended June 30, 2004.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - (continued)
------------------------------------------
Stock-based Compensation (continued)
------------------------
The Company has elected to continue to account for stock-based
employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", ("APB No. 25") and
comply with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 as amended
by SFAS No. 148 as described above. In addition, in accordance
with SFAS No. 123 the Company applies the fair value method using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model in accounting for options
granted to consultants. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense for
employees is recognized based on the difference, if any, on the
date of grant between the estimated fair value of the Company's
stock and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.
Compensation expense is recognized immediately for past services
and pro-rata for future services over the option-vesting period.
To September 30, 2004 the Company has not granted any stock
options.
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for
the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in
accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the
Emerging Issues Task Force in Issue No. 96-18. Costs are measured
at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received
or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued,
whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity
instruments issued for consideration other than employee services
is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or
completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as
defined by EITF 96-18.
The Company has also adopted the provisions of the Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No.44, Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - An
Interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25 ("FIN 44"), which provides
guidance as to certain applications of APB 25.
Comprehensive Loss
------------------
SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," establishes
standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and
its components in the financial statements. As at September 30,
2004, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss
and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss
in the financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity
of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash
equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk
----------------------------
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
credit risk consist principally of cash. Cash was deposited with a
high quality credit institution.

Interim Financial Statements
These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on
the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the
opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only
normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the

for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods
are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full
year or for any future period.
Note 3 Mineral Property
----------------
Pursuant to a Mineral Property Option Agreement ("Agreement")
dated April 21, 2004, the Company was granted the right to acquire
a 100% undivided right, title and interest in 16 mineral claims,
located in the Scadding Township, District of Sudbury, Ontario,
Canada. In order to keep the Agreement in good standing the
Company paid $7,200 and must incur further exploration
expenditures of $115,000 as follows:
(a) $5,000 by December 31, 2004;
(b) $10,000 by December 31, 2005; and
(c) $100,000 by December 31, 2006.
Note 4 Related Party Balances/Transactions
-----------------------------------
(a) The President provided a cash advance of $50. This amount is unsecured,
non-interest bearing and has no specific terms of repayment.
(b) The President provides management services and office premises to the
Company. The services are valued at $750 per month and the office
premises are valued at $250 per month. During the three months ended
September 30, 2004 donated services of $2,250 and donated rent expense
of $750 were charged to operations.

Part II
Information Not Required In The Prospectus
Indemnification Of Directors And Officers
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised
Statutes and our bylaws.
Under the NRS, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders
for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited
by a company's articles of incorporation that is not the case with our articles
of incorporation. Excepted from that immunity are:
(1) a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its
shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director
has a material conflict of interest;
(2) a violation of criminal law (unless the director had
reasonable cause to believe that her or her conduct was lawful
or no reasonable cause to believe that her or her conduct was
unlawful);
(3) a transaction from which the director derived an improper
personal profit; and
(4) willful misconduct.
Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the
fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may
modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our
directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to
indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part
thereof) initiated by such person unless:
(1) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by
law;
(2) the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors;
(3) such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion
pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law; or
(4) such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the
bylaws.
Our bylaws provide that we will advance all expenses incurred to any person who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending
or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative
or investigative, by reason of the fact that she is or was our director or
officer, or is or was serving at our request as a director or executive officer
of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior
to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request. This
32
<page>
advanced of expenses is to be made upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of such person to repay said amounts should it be ultimately determined
that the person was not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or
otherwise.
Our bylaws also provide that no advance shall be made by us to any officer in
any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the
board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who
were not parties to the proceeding; or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or,
even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by
independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the
decision- making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate
clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that
such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to our best interests.

(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act of 1933;

than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors,
officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling
person sin connection with the securities being registered, we 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 is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and
we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
