PART I


Item 1.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS


Business Development


We commenced operations as an exploration stage company.  In August 2005 we acquired an interest in a 524,728 hectare mineral claim, known as the Raven property, located approximately 17 kilometers northeast of Princeton, in south central British Columbia.  However, we were unable to keep the mineral claim in good standing due to lack of funding and our interest in it expired.


Pursuant to a mineral property purchase agreement dated June 12, 2009 with GeoXplor Corp, a private arm’s length Nevada company, we acquired an option to acquire a 100% interest in 89 unpatented mining claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada.  The property is located approximately 25 miles east of the Nevada-California border, 35 miles southwest of Tonopah, Nevada.  


As consideration for the property we agreed to pay the following:


(a)

cash payments totalling $61,000, which have been paid, and the issuance of 250,000 common shares at a market price of $0.48 per share, which shares have been issued;


(b)

cash payment of $18,000 upon presentation of a receipt for payment of the filing and claim maintenance fees;


(c)

cash payment of $35,000 and the issuance of an additional 250,000 common shares on or before June 15, 2010;


(d)

cash payment of $50,000 and the issuance of an additional 250,000 common shares on or before June 15, 2011;


(e)

cash payment of $100,000 on or before June 15, 2012; and


(f)

cash payment of $100,000 on or before June 15, 2013.


The acquisition of the Esmeralda Property is subject to a 3% royalty in respect of the sale or disposition of lithium carbonate or other lithium compounds.  We have the option to acquire up to 2% of the royalty, in whole percentage points, for $1,000,000 for each 1%.  


Should we or a joint venture partner: (i) deliver a feasibility study recommending mining of lithium carbonate or other lithium compound from the property and the implementation of a mining plan is authorized, or (ii) sells, options, assigns, disposes or otherwise alienates all or a portion of our interest in the property, we will pay GeoXplor Corp. an additional $500,000 in cash or shares.  The election to obtain cash or shares of our company shall be at the sole election of GeoXplor Corp.


As part of the acquisition we also have a commitment to incur $2,000,000 in exploration expenditures within five years of the agreement as follows:




4




(a)

$100,000 during the first year;


(b)

$200,000 during the second year;


(c)

$500,000 during the third year; and


(d)

$1,200,000 during the fourth year.


The Esmeralda property is comprised of approximately 16,000 acres in close proximity to major support centers and a local trained workforce.  The unpatented placer mining claims constituting the Esmeralda Property consist of PMP 17 through PMP 42, CR 1 through CR 15 and AF 1 through AF 47.


Regional Geology


The Clayton Valley-Montezuma range is underlain by a thick body of tuffaceous sediments, ranging from upper Miocene to Pliocene in age. The volcanic sequence has been named the Esmeralda formation and consists of approximately 15,000 feet of lucustrine volcanic sediments which include poorly sorted conglomerates and sandstones, limestone, mudstones and tuffaceous units. Fossils suggest a relatively fresh environment of deposition.


Two major volcanic events were recorded in the Tertiary sediments. An early Pliocene volcanic episode is represented by a single welded tuff unit with an age of 22 million years and is exposed on the northern end of the Silver Peak Range. The tuff was ejected prior to the block faulting that disturbed the drainage of the Silver Peak region and created several closed basins into which the lower part of the Esmeralda formation was deposited.


A second period of volcanic eruptions with major faulting occurred during the middle Pliocene and resulted in the deformation of the lower Esmeralda sediments creating an angular unconformity. The oldest sediments above the unconformity were assigned to the upper Esmeralda unit and have been dated at 6.9 million years. The widespread ash fall tuff that crops out around Clayton Valley and the Montezuma peak area has the same age as the upper Esmeralda sediments (6.9 million years) and has been subjected to major faulting which created the present topography.


The uplift of the Sierra Nevada at the beginning of the Pleistocene caused the climate of the Basin and Range Province to become generally arid. Pluvial periods, correlative with the glacial stages in the highlands, resulted in increased runoff and formation of temporary lakes in the basins. The interpluvial periods were more arid and led to the concentration of the lake waters the remnants of which are the lithium rich evaporities.


Pursuant to a letter of intent dated August 30, 2009, we acquired an option to acquire a 100% interest in 50 mining claims in Esmeralda County, Nevada, U.S.A, subject to a 3% Net Value Royalty.   We intend to enter into a definitive purchase agreement on or before January 1, 2010 which agreement will encompass the terms of the letter of intent.  As consideration for the property we agreed to pay the following:


(a)

cash payments of $20,000, which has been paid, and the issuance of 250,000 common shares at a market price of $0.77 per share, which shares have been issued;


(b)

cash payment of $32,500 upon execution of the purchase agreement;



5





(c)

cash payment of $50,000 and the issuance of an additional 250,000 common shares on or before the first anniversary of the purchase agreement;


(d)

cash payment of $100,000 and the issuance of an additional 250,000 common shares on or before the second anniversary of the purchase agreement;


(e)

cash payment of $100,000 and the issuance of an additional 250,000 common shares; and


(f)

cash payment of $100,000 on or before the fourth anniversary of the purchase agreement.


We have the right to purchase up to two percent (2%) of the Net Value Royalty, in whole percentage points, for $1,000,000.


As part of the acquisition we also have a commitment to incur $2,000,000 in exploration expenditures within five years of the agreement as follows:


(a)

$100,000 during the first year;


(b)

$200,000 during the second year;


(c)

$500,000 during the third year; and


(d)

$500,000 during the fourth year.


Employees


Currently, we do not have any employees.  Our directors and certain contracted individuals play an important role in the running of our company.  We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees over the next 12 month period.  We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed.


We engage contractors from time to time to consult with us on specific corporate affairs or to perform specific tasks in connection with our exploration programs.


Research and Development Expenditures


We have not incurred any research or development expenditures since our incorporation.


Subsidiaries


We do not have any subsidiaries.


Intellectual Property


We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patents or trademarks.


Dependence on Major Customers


We have no customers.



6





Competition


We are a mineral resource exploration company.  We compete with other mineral resource exploration companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties.  Many of the mineral resource exploration companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us.  Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties.  In addition, they may be able to afford more geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties.  This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration.  This competition could adversely impact on our ability to finance further exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for us to develop our mineral properties.


Compliance with Government Regulation


We are committed to complying with and are, to our knowledge, in compliance with, all governmental and environmental regulations applicable to our company and our property. Permits from a variety of regulatory authorities are required for many aspects of mine operation and reclamation. We cannot predict the extent to which these requirements will affect our company or our property if we identify the existence of minerals in commercially exploitable quantities. In addition, future legislation and regulation could cause additional expense, capital expenditure, restrictions and delays in the exploration of our property.

Holders


As of December 22, 2009, there were 11 holders of record of our common stock and approximately 11,000 non-registered shareholders.  


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.


Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans


On August 20, 2009, our Board of Directors ratified, approved and adopted a Stock Option Plan to issue up to 4,000,000 common shares, with an exercisable period up to 10 years. In the event an optionee ceases to be employed by or to provide services to our company for reasons other than cause, any stock option that is vested and held by such optionee may be exercisable within ninety calendar days after the effective date that his or her position ceases.  Stock options are



8




non-transferable.  Any stock option held by an optionee at the time of his death may be exercised by his estate within one year of his death or such longer period as the Board of Directors may determine.

Recent sales of unregistered securities


During the year ended September 30, 2009, we issued 1,250,000 units at a price of $0.36 per unit by way of a private placement, raising gross proceeds of $450,000.  Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant.  Each share purchase warrant is non-transferable and shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock, for a period of twenty four months commencing from closing, at a purchase price of $0.50. We issued all of the securities to one non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933), in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933.


Subsequent to the year ended September 30, 2009, on October 7, 2009 we issued 740,740 units at a price of $1.35 per unit by way of a private placement, raising gross proceeds of $1,000,000.  Each unit consists of one common share in the capital and one and one-half non-transferable common share purchase warrant.  Each whole common share purchase warrant non-transferable shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of common stock, for a period of twenty four months commencing from closing, at a purchase price of $1.50 per warrant share.  We issued all of the securities to three non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933), in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933.

Item 7.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


Forward-looking statements


This report contains "forward-looking statements" relating to us which represent our current expectations or beliefs, including statements concerning our operations, performance, financial condition and growth.  For this purpose, any statement contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "anticipation", "intend", "could", "estimate", or "continue" or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel and variability of quarterly results, our ability to continue our growth strategy and competition, certain of which are beyond our control.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.


The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in our audited financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2009.


Plan of Operation


Our plan of operation for the twelve months following the date of this annual report is to carry out exploration work on our two recently acquired properties located in Esmeralda County, Nevada and to continue to review other potential acquisitions in the resource and non-resource sectors.  During the next 12 months we have committed to expend an aggregate of $300,000 in exploration work on the two properties.    


As well, we anticipate spending an additional $400,000 on administrative fees, including fees we will incur in complying with reporting obligations.  Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be $700,000.


We currently have sufficient funds on hand to cover our anticipated expenses for the next 12 months.  We anticipate that additional funding will be required in the future in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock or from director loans.  However, we do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.


Results of Operations


We did not earn any revenues for the year ended September 30, 2009.  We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $196,054 for the year ended September 30, 2009, compared to $39,413 for the year ended September 30, 2008, consisting of general and administrative expenses, legal and accounting fees, management fees and stock based compensation.  At September 30, 2009, we had assets of $1,232,712 ($704 – September 30, 2008) consisting of cash and cash equivalents and we had total liabilities recorded at $79,232 ($52,168 - September 30, 2008).  These consisted



10




of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $15,355 ($8,500 - September 30, 2008) and $63,877 due to a related party ($43,668 – September 30, 2008).


We have not attained profitable operations and are depending upon obtaining financing to continue to search for a new acquisition.  For these reasons our auditors believe that there is substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.


We have had no operating revenues since our inception on March 10, 2005 through September 30, 2009, and have incurred operating expenses in the amount of $311,418 for the same period.  Our activities have been financed from the proceeds of share subscriptions and director loans.


For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, general and administrative expenses were $85,042 ($8,484 – September 30, 2008), legal and accounting were $33,352 ($16,129 – September 30, 2008), management fees were $12,000 ($12,000 – September 30, 2008), rent expense was $Nil ($2,800 – September 30, 2008) and stock based compensation was $65,660 ($Nil – September 30, 2008).  For the period from inception on March 10, 2005 through September 30, 2009, general and administrative expenses were $99,227, management fees were $48,000, rent expense was $7,600 and mineral property expenditures were $9,000.  


General and administrative expenses and legal and accounting fees were nearly four times higher in fiscal 2009 as a result of increased activity related to our recent acquisition of two mineral properties and two recently completed private placements.  In addition, we incurred stock based compensation of $65,660 in fiscal 2009, compared to $Nil in fiscal 2008.


During fiscal 2009, we recorded an extinguishment of accrued liabilities of $8,500 for accrued and unpaid legal services as we have now been released of all liabilities and no further fees are owing.


During the year ended September 30, 2009, we incurred a net loss of $(186,561), which resulted in an accumulated deficit of $(301,925).


Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  We have expensed all development costs related to our establishment.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


We had cash and cash equivalents of $1,232,712 as of September 30, 2009, compared to a cash position of $704 at September 30, 2008.  During the year ended September 30, 2009, we raised an aggregate of $450,000 by the issuance of 1,250,000 common shares at a price of $0.36 per share.  Subsequent to the year ended September 30, 2009, we completed a private placement of 740,740 units at a price of $1.35 per unit for total proceeds of $1,000,000.  


Since inception through to and including September 30, 2009, we have raised $475,500 through private placements of our common shares and we have received contributed capital by related parties of $63,877.


We expect to run at a loss for at least the next twelve months. We have no agreements for additional financing and cannot provide any assurance that additional funding will be available to finance our operations on acceptable terms in order to enable us to complete our plan of operations.  There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing.  If we are unable to achieve the financing



11




necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our exploration of our mineral claims and our venture will fail.


Off-balance sheet arrangements


We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

Notes to Annual Financial Statements

1.

Nature of Operations


American Lithium Minerals, Inc. (the “Company”) was originally organized as Nugget Resources Inc. under the laws of the State of Nevada on March 10, 2005.  The Company has been investigating prospective lithium opportunities.  On March 2, 2009, the Company changed its name to American Lithium Minerals, Inc. to better reflect the direction of the Company. The Company is an exploration stage enterprise, as defined in FASB ASC 915-10 “Development Stage Entities”.  The Company is devoting all of its present efforts to securing and establishing a new business and its planned principal operations have not commenced.  Accordingly, no revenue has been derived during the organization period.


The Company’s financial statements as at September 30, 2009 have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.  The Company has a net loss for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 of $186,561 and $39,413, respectively, and has working capital of $1,153,480 and a working capital deficit of $51,464 as at September 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively.


Management cannot provide assurance that the Company will ultimately achieve profitable operations or become cash flow positive, or raise additional debt and/or equity capital.  Management intends to raise additional funding in the form of equity financing from the sale of common stock and/or obtain short-term loans from the directors of the Company. However, if the Company is unable to raise additional capital in the near future, due to the Company’s liquidity problems, management expects that the Company will need to curtail operations, liquidate assets, seek additional capital on less favourable terms and/or pursue other remedial measures.  These financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.


At September 30, 2009, the Company was not engaged in a business and had suffered losses from exploration stage activities to date.  Although management is currently attempting to implement its business plan, and is seeking additional sources of equity or debt financing, there is no assurance these activities will be successful.  Accordingly, the Company must rely on its president to perform essential functions with minimal compensation until a business operation can be commenced.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.  Accordingly, these factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financials 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


The Company has evaluated subsequent events through December 7, 2009, the date which the financial statements were available to be issued. See note 8.

Significant Accounting Policies


The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements.


Basis of presentation


The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to exploration stage enterprises, and are expressed in U.S. dollars.  The Company’s fiscal year end is 30 September.


Cash and cash equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.


Mineral property costs


The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation March 10, 2005 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 depleted using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve.


Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, according to the usual industry standards for the stage of exploration of such properties, these procedures do not guarantee the Company’s title.  Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.


Financial instruments


The carrying value of cash, accounts payable and 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 Company’s financial risk is the risk that arises 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.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Environmental expenditures


The operations of the Company have been, and may in the future, be affected from time to time, in varying degrees, by changes in environmental regulations, including those for future reclamation and site restoration costs.  Both the likelihood of new regulations and their overall effect upon the Company vary greatly and are not predictable.  The Company’s policy is to meet or, if possible, surpass standards set by relevant legislation, by application of technically proven and economically feasible measures.


Environmental expenditures that relate to ongoing environmental and reclamation programs are charged against earnings as incurred or capitalized and amortized depending on their future economic benefits.  Estimated future reclamation and site restoration costs, when the ultimate liability is reasonably determinable, are charged against earnings over the estimated remaining life of the related business operation, net of expected recoveries.


Income taxes


Deferred income taxes are reported for timing differences between items of income or expense reported in the financial statements and those reported for income tax purposes in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10, which requires the use of the asset/liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Deferred income taxes and tax benefits are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and for tax loss and credit carry-forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The Company provides for deferred taxes for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and carry-forwards when realization is more likely than not.


Basic and diluted net loss per share


The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 205-10, which 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 loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period.  Diluted EPS gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.  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 potentially dilutive shares if their effect is anti-dilutive and is not presented in the accompanying financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Use of estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenditures during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.


Concentrations of credit risk


The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk primarily consist of its cash.   The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness.  At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits.  The Company’s management also routinely assesses the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.


Stock based compensation


On August 1, 2009, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718-10. The Company adopted FASB ASC 718-10 using the modified-prospective-transition method.  Under this method, compensation cost recognized for the year ended September 30, 2009 includes: a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FASB ASC 718-10, and b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718-10.  In addition, deferred stock compensation related to non-vested options is required to be eliminated against additional paid-in capital upon adoption of FASB ASC 718-10. The results for the prior periods were not restated.


The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 718-10 and the conclusions reached in FASB ASC 505-10.  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 FASB ASC 505-10.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805-10.  Under FASB ASC 805-10, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. FASB ASC 805-10 will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination. FASB ASC 805-10 applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the entity’s first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, any business combinations completed by the Company prior to June 1, 2009 will be recorded and disclosed following existing GAAP. The Company has not adopted this statement and management does not expect the adoption of FASB ASC 805-10 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC 815-10, which requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting.  Disclosing the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format provides a more complete picture of the location in an entity’s financial statements of both the derivative positions existing at period end and the effect of using derivatives during the reporting period.  Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. FASB ASC 815-10 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.  Early adoption is permitted.  At September 30, 2009, the Company did not have any derivative instruments or hedging activities. Management is aware of the requirements of FASB ASC 815-10 and will disclose when appropriate.


In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC 944-10.  FASB ASC 944-10 requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation.  This Statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. Those clarifications will increase comparability in financial reporting of financial guarantee insurance contracts by insurance enterprises. This Statement requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. The accounting and disclosure requirements of the Statement will improve the quality of information provided to users of financial statements. FASB ASC 944-10 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  The Company has adopted this statement and management does not expect the adoption of FASB ASC 944-10 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


On May 28, 2009 the FASB issued FASB ASC 855-10, “Subsequent Events”. FASB ASC 855-10 should not result in significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports. Rather, FASB ASC 855-10 introduces the concept of financial statements being available to be issued. Financial statements are considered available to be issued when they are complete in a form and format that complies with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and all approvals necessary for issuance have been obtained.


FASB ASC 860-10, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, and will require entities to provide more information about sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the seller retains some risk to the assets, the FASB said. The statement eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for the derecognizing of financial assets, and calls upon sellers of the assets to make additional disclosures about them.


In June 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 105-10, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (the Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), aside from those issued by the SEC.  The Codification became effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The Company adopted the Codification when referring to GAAP for the fiscal period ending September 30, 2009.  The adoption of the Codification did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.


Risks and uncertainties


The Company operates in the resource exploration industry that is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, and other risks associated with operating a resource exploration business, including the potential risk of business failure.


3.

Mineral Property


Pursuant to a mineral property purchase agreement dated August 17, 2005, the Company acquired a 100% undivided right, title and interest in a 524.728 hectare mineral claim, located in the Similkameen Mining Division of British Columbia, Canada for a cash payment of $4,000 (paid).  During the year ended September 30, 2006, the Company paid $5,000 for exploration work on the property.   The Company was unable to keep the mineral claim in good standing due to lack of funding and has lost its interest in the mineral claim.

Income Taxes (continued)


The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $65,296 and $13,795, respectively.  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 September 30, 2009 and 2008, and recorded a full valuation allowance.


Reconciliation between the statutory rate and the effective tax rate is as follows for the years ended September 30:
