PROSPECTUS SUMMARY This Prospectus, and any supplement to this Prospectus include "forward-looking statements". To the extent that the information presented in this Prospectus discusses financial projections, information or expectations about our business plans, results of operations, products or markets, or otherwise makes statements about future events, such statements are forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "intends", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "projects", "forecasts", "expects", "plans" and "proposes". Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. These include, among others, the cautionary statements in the "Risk Factors" section beginning on page 9 of this Prospectus and the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Position and Results of Operations" section elsewhere in this Prospectus. OUR BUSINESS We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 20, 2006 under the name "Zebra Resources Incorporated (aka "Zebra Resources Inc."). Since our inception, we have been an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Effective March 17, 2010, we changed our name from Zebra Resources Incorporated. to American Paramount Gold Corp. On July 28, 2010 we obtained an extra-provincial license to carry on business in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Our Ontario Corporation Number is 1827852. Our principal executive offices are located at 130 King St. West, Suite 3670, Toronto Ontario, Canada, M5X 1A9. Our telephone number is (416) 214-5640. Our fiscal year end is August 31. On April 16, 2010, we entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% long-term lease interest in 189 unpatented mining claims situated in the Walker Lane Structural Belt in Nye County, Nevada (the "Cap Gold Project"). The 189 claims making up the Cap Gold Project form a contiguous block of approximately 3,960 acres (1,602 hectares). We paid $125,000 to secure the option, giving us the right to acquire a 100% long-term lease interest in the Cap Gold Project. To exercise the option we must: (i) make ongoing yearly advance production royalty cash payments during the term of the agreement of $125,000 in years two (2) through five (5), $150,000 in years six (6) through twelve (12), $200,000 in years 13 through 20 and $300,000 in years 21 through 30; (ii) incur expenditures on exploration of the Cap Gold Project of not less than an aggregate of $1,250,000 over five (5) years; and (iii) make production royalty payments from production from the property after the advance production royalty cash payments described above have been repaid to our company from production from the property. At our company's election, the production royalty may be calculated either on a sliding scale or on a fixed production royalty basis, and must range from 1% to a maximum of 3%. As a result of our acquisition of the option in respect of the Cap Gold Project, we ceased to be a shell company. Our current operational focus is to conduct exploration activities on the Cap Gold Project and to complete the terms of the Cap Gold option agreement. Since we are an exploration stage company, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral reserve exists on any of our current or future properties. To date, we do not know if an economically viable mineral reserve exists on our property and there is no assurance that we will discover one. Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on our property, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our property into a producing mine and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. 3
THE OFFERING The 5,550,000 shares of our common stock being registered by this Prospectus represent approximately 8.67% of our issued and outstanding common stock as of January 7, 2011. Securities Offered: 5,550,000 shares of common stock offered by 6 selling security holders. Initial Offering Price: The selling security holders will sell at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Minimum Number of Securities to be Sold in this Offering: None 4
Securities Issued and As of January 7, 2011 we had 64,000,000 issued to be Issued: and outstanding shares of our common stock, and 5,400,000 outstanding and vested options with each option to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $0.68 per share. Of the outstanding options 400,000 are exercisable until October 6, 2012, and 5,000,000 are exercisable until October 6, 2015. On December 17, 2010, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., wherein Monaco Capital Inc. has agreed to loan our company up to $5,000,000. The convertible loan agreement replaced the original agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., dated April 22, 2010 and provided that the principal of $500,933 advanced under it, along with $20,664 in unpaid, accrued interest, to and including December 17, 2010, be treated as if issued under the terms of the new agreement. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum payable on the due date. The loan is convertible into securities of the Company at a conversion price calculated as the mean volume weighted average price for the Company's common stock during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. The principal amount of the loan and accrued interest is due and payable one year from the advancement date. We may at any time during the term of the loan prepay any sum up to the full amount of the loan and accrued interest then outstanding for an additional 10% of such amount. We have no other issued and outstanding convertible securities. All of the common stock to be sold under this Prospectus will be sold by existing stockholders. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol APGA. The trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often sporadic and investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations, which may have a depressive effect on the market price for our common stock. Proceeds: We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the selling security holders. 5

RISK FACTORS RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH MINING OUR PROPERTY IS IN THE EXPLORATION STAGE. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE CAN ESTABLISH THE EXISTENCE OF ANY MINERAL RESOURCE ON OUR PROPERTY IN COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITIES. UNTIL WE CAN DO SO, WE CANNOT EARN ANY REVENUES FROM OPERATIONS AND IF WE DO NOT DO SO WE WILL LOSE ALL OF THE FUNDS THAT WE EXPEND ON EXPLORATION. IF WE DO NOT DISCOVER ANY MINERAL RESOURCE IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, OUR BUSINESS COULD FAIL. Despite exploration work on our mineral property, we have not established that it contains any mineral reserve, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. If we do not, our business could fail. A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/forms/industry.htm#secguide7) as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a "reserve" that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote; in all probability our mineral resource property does not contain any 'reserve' and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost. Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on our property, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our property into a producing mine and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable. MINERAL OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW AND GOVERNMENT REGULATION. EVEN IF WE DISCOVER A MINERAL RESOURCE IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, THESE LAWS AND REGULATIONS COULD RESTRICT OR PROHIBIT THE EXPLOITATION OF THAT MINERAL RESOURCE. IF WE CANNOT EXPLOIT ANY MINERAL RESOURCE THAT WE MIGHT DISCOVER ON OUR PROPERTY, OUR BUSINESS MAY FAIL. Both mineral exploration and extraction require permits from various foreign, federal, state, provincial and local governmental authorities and are governed by laws and regulations, including those with respect to prospecting, mine development, mineral production, transport, export, taxation, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain any of the permits required for the continued exploration of our mineral properties or for the construction and operation of a mine on our properties at economically viable costs. If we cannot accomplish these objectives, our business could fail. We believe that we are in compliance with all material laws and regulations that currently apply to our activities but there can be no assurance that we can continue to remain in compliance. Current laws and regulations could be amended and we might not be able to comply with them, as amended. Further, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain or maintain all permits necessary for our future operations, or that we will be able to obtain them on reasonable 7
terms. To the extent such approvals are required and are not obtained, we may be delayed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of our mineral properties. IF WE ESTABLISH THE EXISTENCE OF A MINERAL RESOURCE ON OUR PROPERTY IN A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY, WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY INTO A PRODUCING MINE. IF WE CANNOT RAISE THIS ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EXPLOIT THE RESOURCE, AND OUR BUSINESS COULD FAIL. If we do discover mineral resources in commercially exploitable quantities on our property, we will be required to expend substantial sums of money to establish the extent of the resource, develop processes to extract it and develop extraction and processing facilities and infrastructure. Although we may derive substantial benefits from the discovery of a major deposit, there can be no assurance that any discovered resource will be large enough to justify commercial operations, nor can there be any assurance that we will be able to raise the funds required for development on a timely basis. If we cannot raise the necessary capital or complete the necessary facilities and infrastructure, our business may fail. MINERAL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT IS SUBJECT TO EXTRAORDINARY OPERATING RISKS. WE DO NOT CURRENTLY INSURE AGAINST THESE RISKS. IN THE EVENT OF A CAVE-IN OR SIMILAR OCCURRENCE, OUR LIABILITY MAY EXCEED OUR RESOURCES, WHICH WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR COMPANY. Mineral exploration, development and production involve many risks which even a combination of experience, knowledge and careful evaluation may not be able to overcome. Our operations will be subject to all the hazards and risks inherent in the exploration for mineral resources and, if we discover a mineral resource in commercially exploitable quantity, our operations could be subject to all of the hazards and risks inherent in the development and production of resources, including liability for pollution, cave-ins or similar hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. Any such event could result in work stoppages and damage to property, including damage to the environment. We do not currently maintain any insurance coverage against these operating hazards. The payment of any liabilities that arise from any such occurrence would have a material adverse impact on our company. MINERAL PRICES ARE SUBJECT TO DRAMATIC AND UNPREDICTABLE FLUCTUATIONS. We expect to derive revenues, if any, either from the sale of our mineral resource property or from the extraction and sale of ore. The price of those commodities has fluctuated widely in recent years, and is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including international, economic and political trends, expectations of inflation, currency exchange fluctuations, interest rates, global or regional consumptive patterns, speculative activities and increased production due to new extraction developments and improved extraction and production methods. The effect of these factors on the price of base and precious metals, and therefore the economic viability of any of our exploration properties and projects, cannot accurately be predicted. THE MINING INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN ACQUIRING MINERAL CLAIMS. IF WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO ACQUIRE PROPERTIES TO EXPLORE FOR MINERAL RESOURCES, WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO REDUCE OR CEASE OPERATIONS. The mineral exploration, development, and production industry is largely un-integrated. We compete with other exploration companies looking for mineral resource properties. While we compete with other exploration companies in the effort to locate and acquire mineral resource properties, we will not compete with them for the removal or sales of mineral products from our properties if we should eventually discover the presence of them in quantities sufficient to make production economically feasible. Readily available markets exist worldwide for the sale of mineral products. Therefore, we will likely be able to sell any mineral products that we identify and produce. 8
In identifying and acquiring mineral resource properties, we compete with many companies possessing greater financial resources and technical facilities. This competition could adversely affect our ability to acquire suitable prospects for exploration in the future. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will acquire any interest in additional mineral resource properties that might yield reserves or result in commercial mining operations. RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY THE FACT THAT WE HAVE NOT EARNED ANY OPERATING REVENUES SINCE OUR INCORPORATION RAISES SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO EXPLORE OUR MINERAL PROPERTIES AS A GOING CONCERN. We have not generated any revenue from operations since our incorporation and we anticipate that we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues unless and until we are able to identify a mineral resource in a commercially exploitable quantity on our mineral property and we build and operate a mine. We had cash in the amount of $2,146 as of August 31, 2010 and a working capital deficit of $307,203. We have also incurred a net loss of $689,292 for the year ended August 31, 2010 and $760,847 from our inception to August 31, 2010. We estimate that our average monthly operating expenses will be approximately $158,333, including exploration costs, management services and administrative costs. Should the results of our planned exploration require us to increase our current operating budget, we may have to raise additional funds to meet our currently budgeted operating requirements for the next 12 months. As we cannot assure a lender that we will be able to successfully explore and develop our mineral property, we will probably find it difficult to raise debt financing from traditional lending sources. We have traditionally raised our operating capital from sales of equity securities, but there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to do so. If we cannot raise the money that we need to continue exploration of our mineral property, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate our exploration activities. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail. These circumstances lead our independent registered public accounting firm, in their report dated November 24, 2010, to comment about our company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to seek additional capital through a private placement of its capital stock. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our company's ability to continue as a going concern. Although there are no assurances that management's plans will be realized, management believes that our company will be able to continue operations in the future. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event our company cannot continue in existence." We continue to experience net operating losses. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMMON STOCK TRADING ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD MAY BE VOLATILE AND SPORADIC, WHICH COULD DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR OUR STOCKHOLDERS TO RESELL THEIR SHARES. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board service of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like NYSE Amex. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of their shares. 9
OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. TRADING OF OUR STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE SEC'S PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS AND FINRA'S SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH MAY LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK. Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these 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 agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock. In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock. OTHER RISKS TRENDS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock. 10
USE OF PROCEEDS We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of the securities offered through this Prospectus by the selling security holders. The selling security holders will receive all proceeds from this offering. DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE The selling security holders may sell the 5,550,000 common shares being registered in this prospectus at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. The number of common shares that may be actually sold by a selling security holder will be determined at the discretion of that selling security holder. The selling security holders are neither obligated to sell all or any portion of the common shares offered, nor are they obligated to sell such shares immediately under this Prospectus. The security holders may sell common stock at any privately negotiated price which may be influenced by factors such as a shareholder's own cash requirements, or objective criteria of value such as the market value of our assets. DILUTION All of the 5,550,000 shares of our common stock to be sold by the selling security holders are currently issued and outstanding, and will therefore not cause dilution to any of our existing stockholders. SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS As of January 7, 2011 our Company has 150,000,000 common shares authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share with 64,000,000 common shares outstanding. We also have 5,400,000 vested options outstanding with each option to purchase one share of our common stock at a purchase price of $0.68. Of the 5,400,000 options, 400,000 are exercisable until October 6, 2012 and 5,000,000 are exercisable until October 6, 2015. On April 22, 2010, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., wherein Monaco Capital Inc. has agreed to loan our company up to $500,000. The loan (and accrued interest) is convertible in whole or in part into common shares of our Company at a conversion price of $1.05 and will bear interest at 10% per annum. We have no other authorized class of preferred stock or outstanding convertible securities. The 6 selling security holders are offering for sale 5,550,000 shares of our issued and outstanding common stock which they obtained through private transactions or as part of our issuance of 24,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.0025 per share pursuant to an SB-2 prospectus offering. The issuance was completed on December 20, 2006 for total proceeds of $60,000. On March 17, 2010 we filed a Plan of Merger, Merger Agreement and Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State to affect a forward stock split of our common shares on a 2 new share for 1 old share basis. The change was approved by FINRA effective April 12, 2010. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares of common stock and our issued and outstanding common stock increased from 32,000,000 shares to 64,000,000 shares, all with a par value of $0.001. All references in this Prospectus to the number of shares, price per share and weighted average number of shares outstanding of common stock prior to this stock split have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis unless otherwise noted. The following table provides information as of January , 2011 regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each of the selling security holders, including: 11
* the number of shares owned by each prior to this offering; * the number of shares being offered by each; * the number of shares that will be owned by each upon completion of the offering, assuming that all the shares being offered are sold; * the percentage of shares owned by each; and * the identity of the beneficial holder of any entity that owns the shares being offered.

Under such rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which the selling security holder has sole or shared voting or investment power and also any shares which the selling security holder has the right to acquire within 60 days of the date of this Prospectus. (2) The percentages are based on 64,000,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding and as at January, 2011. (3) Less than 1%.

Kaffa has voting and dispositive control over securities held by Monaco Capital Inc. (6) Erwin Speckert has voting and dispositive control over securities held by Ostras Group Ltd. Except as otherwise noted in the above list, the named party beneficially owns and has sole voting and investment power over all the shares or rights to the shares. The numbers in this table assume that none of the selling security holders will sell shares not being offered in this Prospectus or will purchase additional shares, and assumes that all the shares being registered will be sold. 12
Other than as described above, none of the selling security holders or their beneficial owners has had a material relationship with us other than as a security holder at any time within the past three years, or has ever been one of our officers or directors or an officer or director of our predecessors or affiliates. None of the selling security holders are broker-dealers or affiliates of a broker-dealer. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION We are registering 5,550,000 shares of our common stock on behalf of the selling security holders. The selling security holders may sell the 5,550,000 shares of our common stock at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol APGA. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a company's operations or business prospects. OTC Bulletin Board should not be confused with the NASDAQ market. OTC Bulletin Board companies are subject to far less restrictions and regulations than companies whose securities are traded on the NASDAQ market. Moreover, the OTC Bulletin Board is not a stock exchange, and the trading of securities on the OTC Bulletin Board is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like the NASDAQ Small Cap or a stock exchange. In the absence of an active trading market investors may have difficulty buying and selling or obtaining market quotations for our common stock and its market visibility may be limited, which may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. There is no assurance that our common stock will remain quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Although we currently meet the existing requirements to for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, we cannot assure you that we will continue to meet these requirements. The selling security holders may sell some or all of their shares of our common stock in one or more transactions, including block transactions: * on such public markets as the securities may be trading; * in privately negotiated transactions; or * in any combination of these methods of distribution. The selling security holders may offer our common stock to the public: * at the market price prevailing at the time of sale as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board; * at a price related to such prevailing market price as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board; or * at such other price as the selling security holders determine. We are bearing all costs relating to the registration of our common stock. The selling security holders, however, will pay any commissions or other fees payable to brokers or dealers in connection with any sale of the shares of our common stock. The selling security holders must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in the offer and sale of our common stock. In particular, during such times as the selling security holders may be deemed to 13
be engaged in a distribution of any securities, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable laws and may, among other things: * furnish each broker or dealer through which our 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; * not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our securities; and * 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 Exchange Act. The selling security holders and any underwriters, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of our common stock may be deemed to be underwriters, and any commissions or concessions received by any such underwriters, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Our common stock may be sold from time to time by the selling security holders in one or more transactions at a fixed offering price, which may be changed, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices if our common stock becomes quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board and a market for the stock develops. We may indemnify any underwriter against specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The selling security holders and any broker-dealers acting in connection with the sale of the common stock offered under this Prospectus may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of section 2(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on the resale of shares as principals may be deemed underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. Neither we nor the selling security holders can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling security holders and any other security holder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent relating to the sale or distribution of our common stock. Because the selling security holders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the selling security holders will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Each selling security holder has advised us that they have not yet entered into any agreements, understandings, or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares. We may indemnify any underwriter against specific civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. REGULATION M During such time as the selling security holders may be engaged in a distribution of any of the securities being registered by this Prospectus, the selling security holders are required to comply with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. In general, Regulation M precludes any selling security holder, any affiliated purchaser and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security that is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M defines a "distribution" as an offering of securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading activities by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods. Regulation M also defines a "distribution participant" as an underwriter, prospective underwriter, broker, dealer, or other person who has agreed to participate or who is participating in a distribution. Regulation M prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution. Regulation M also governs bids and purchases made in order to 14
stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution of the security. We have informed the selling security holders that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M may apply to the sales of their shares offered by this Prospectus, and we have also advised the selling security holders of the requirements for delivery of this Prospectus in connection with any sales of the shares offered by this Prospectus. With regard to short sales, the selling security holders cannot cover their short sales with securities from this offering. In addition, if a short sale is deemed to be a stabilizing activity, then the selling security holders will not be permitted to engage in such an activity. All of these limitations may affect the marketability of our common stock. PENNY STOCK RULES The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges, 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, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC which: * contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; * 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 violations of such duties or other requirements of federal securities laws; * 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 prices; * contains the toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; * defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and * contains such other information, and is in such form (including language, type size, and format) as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation. Prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, a broker-dealer must also provide a customer with: * the bid and ask prices for the penny stock; * 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; * the amount and a description of any compensation that the broker-dealer and its associated salesperson will receive in connection with the transaction; and * a monthly account statement indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. 15
In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our securities, and therefore our stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares. BLUE SKY RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE When a selling security holder wants to sell shares of our common stock under this Prospectus in the United States, the selling security holder will need to comply with state securities laws, also known as "blue sky laws," with regard to secondary sales. All states offer a variety of exemptions from registration of secondary sales. Many states, for example, have an exemption for secondary trading of securities registered under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or for securities of issuers that publish continuous disclosure of financial and non-financial information in a recognized securities manual, such as Standard & Poor's. The broker for a selling security holder will be able to advise the stockholder as to which states have an exemption for secondary sales of our common stock. Any person who purchases shares of our common stock from a selling security holder pursuant to this Prospectus, and who subsequently wants to resell such shares will also have to comply with blue sky laws regarding secondary sales. When this Registration Statement becomes effective, and a selling security holder indicates in which state(s) he desires to sell his shares, we will be able to identify whether he will need to register or may rely on an exemption from registration. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED GENERAL Our authorized capital stock consists of 150,000,000 shares of common stock at a par value of $0.001 per share. COMMON STOCK As of January 4, 2011 there were 64,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of our common held by 37 stockholders of record. Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote. Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights. Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our articles of incorporation. Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having 16
preference over the common stock. Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock. PREFERRED STOCK We do not have an authorized class of preferred stock. DIVIDEND POLICY We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. SHARE PURCHASE WARRANTS We have not issued and do not have outstanding any warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. OPTIONS On April 14, 2010, we entered into a consulting agreement with Wayne Parsons whereby Mr. Parsons agreed to provide our company with various consulting services as the president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, secretary and treasurer. In consideration of his services, we agreed to provide Mr. Parsons with a monthly payment of CDN$1,500 and a one-time grant of 1,000,000 non-transferable options with each option to acquire one (1) share of our common stock at a purchase price of US$1.00 per share, exercisable for five (5) years. The aforementioned 1,000,000 options were issued on April 14, 2010 but were subsequently cancelled on November 18, 2010 in consideration of the issuance to Mr. Parsons of 1,000,000 options under our 2010 Stock Plan as part of the below described issuance. On October 6, 2010, we granted an aggregate of 5,400,000 stock options to ten individuals, including directors, officers, consultants and employees, pursuant to our 2010 Stock Plan, at an exercise price of $0.68 per share. Of the 5,400,000 stock options, 400,000 options are exercisable until October 5, 2012 and 5,000,000 options are exercisable until October 6, 2015. We issued the stock options to seven (7) 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 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and to three (3) U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933) relying upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. Except for the above described 5,400,000 options, we have not issued any options to purchase shares of our common stock. CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES On April 22, 2010, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., wherein Monaco Capital Inc. has agreed to loan our company up to $500,000. The loan (and accrued interest) is convertible in whole or in part into common shares of our company at a conversion price of $1.05 and will bear interest at 10% per annum. The principal amount of the loan and accrued interest is due and payable one year from the advancement date. We may at any time during the term of the loan prepay any sum up to the full amount of the loan and accrued interest then outstanding for an additional 10% of such amount. At August 31, 2010, Monaco Capital Inc has advanced $250,933. The balance sheet at August 31, 2010 records the loan value at $240,142 due to the unamortized beneficial conversion feature of $10,791. 17
On September 7, 2010, October 13, 2010 and December 6, 2010 Monaco Capital Inc. advanced $100,000, $50,000 and $100,000 respectively. On December 17, 2010, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., wherein Monaco Capital Inc. has agreed to loan our company up to $5,000,000. The convertible loan agreement replaced the original agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., dated April 22, 2010 and provided that the principal of $500,933 advanced under it, along with $20,664 in unpaid, accrued interest, to and including December 17, 2010, be treated as if issued under the terms of the new agreement. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum payable on the due date. The loan is convertible into securities of the Company at a conversion price calculated as the mean volume weighted average price for the Company's common stock during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. The principal amount of the loan and accrued interest is due and payable one year from the advancement date. We may at any time during the term of the loan prepay any sum up to the full amount of the loan and accrued interest then outstanding for an additional 10% of such amount. On December 29, 2010 Monaco Capital Inc. advanced $100,000. The total advanced under the convertible loan agreement is $621,596. Other than the rights conferred upon Monaco Capital Inc. pursuant to the above described convertible loan agreement, we have not issued any securities convertible into shares of our common stock or granted any rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of our common stock. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL No expert or counsel named in this Prospectus as having prepared or certified any part thereof or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of our common stock was employed on a contingency basis or had or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, directly or indirectly, in us.

GENERAL OVERVIEW We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on July 20, 2006 under the name "Zebra Resources Incorporated"(aka "Zebra Resources Inc."). At inception, we were an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. On July 26, 2006, we entered into a mineral property option agreement to earn an interest in a mineral claim known as the Astro 2006 claim. Based on the information available to us, we determined that the Astro 2006 claim did not, in all likelihood, contain a commercially viable mineral deposit, and we therefore abandoned any further exploration on the property. As a result, we investigated several other business opportunities to enhance shareholder value. On September 12, 2008, Karl Kottmeier resigned as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer, and Chief Financial Officer. As a result, on September 12, 2008, we appointed Dan Gravelle as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer, and Chief Financial Officer. Additionally, Mr. Gravelle was appointed as a director of our company. On December 1, 2008, Karl Kottmeier resigned as a director of our company. On November 30, 2009, we appointed Mr. Peter Jenks as a member of our board of directors. On February 26, 2010, Monaco Capital Inc. acquired a controlling interest in our company by purchasing 20,000,000 shares of our common stock in a private transaction. Effective March 17, 2010, we effected a one (1) old for two (2) new forward stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares of common stock and our issued and outstanding increased from 32,000,000 shares of common stock to 64,000,000 shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001. Also effective March 17, 2010, we changed our name from "Zebra Resources Incorporated" to "American Paramount Gold Corp.", by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary American Paramount Gold Corp., which was formed solely for the change of name. The name change and forward stock split became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening for trading on April 12, 2010 under the new stock symbol "APGA". Our new CUSIP number is 02882T 105. Effective April 14, 2010, we appointed Wayne Parsons as a member of our board of directors and as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer. Also effective April 14, 2010, Dan Gravelle resigned as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer. On April 16, 2010, we entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% long-term lease interest in 189 unpatented mining claims situated in the Walker Lane Structural Belt in Nye County, Nevada (the "Cap Gold Project"). The 189 claims making up the Cap Gold Project form a contiguous block of approximately 3,960 acres (1,602 hectares). We paid $125,000 to secure the option, giving us the right acquire a 100% long-term lease interest in the Cap Gold Project. To exercise the option we must: (i) make ongoing yearly advance production royalty cash payments during the term of the agreement of $125,000 in years two (2) through five (5), $150,000 in years six (6) through twelve (12), $200,000 in years 13 through 20 and $300,000 in years 21 through 30; (ii) incur expenditures on exploration of the Cap Gold Project of not less than an aggregate of $1,250,000 over five (5) years; and (iii) make production royalty payments from 19
production from the property after the advance production royalty cash payments described above have been repaid to our company from production from the property. At our company's election, the production royalty may be calculated either on a sliding scale or on a fixed production royalty basis, and must range from 1% to a maximum of 3%. On April 14, 2010, we entered into a consulting agreement with Wayne Parsons whereby Mr. Parsons agreed to provide our company with various consulting services as the president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, secretary and treasurer. In consideration of his services, we agreed to provide Mr. Parsons with a monthly payment of CDN$1,500 and a one-time grant of 1,000,000 non-transferable options with each option to acquire one share of our common stock at a purchase price of US$1.00 per share, exercisable for five (5) years The aforementioned 1,000,000 options were issued on April 14, 2010 but were subsequently cancelled on November 18, 2010 in consideration of the issuance to Mr. Parsons of 1,000,000 options under our 2010 Stock Plan on October 6, 2010. Those options are exercisable at a price of $0.68 per share until October 6, 2015. The consulting agreement with Mr. Parsons was terminated upon his resignation as president and chief executive officer on September 29, 2010. No further compensation is payable under the agreement. On April 22, 2010, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., wherein Monaco Capital Inc. has agreed to loan our company up to $500,000. The loan (and accrued interest) is convertible in whole or in part into common shares of our company at a conversion price of $1.05 and will bear interest at 10% per annum. The principal amount of the loan and accrued interest is due and payable one year from the advancement date. We may at any time during the term of the loan prepay any sum up to the full amount of the loan and accrued interest then outstanding for an additional 10% of such amount. At August 31, 2010, Monaco Capital Inc has advanced $250,933. The balance sheet at August 31, 2010 records the loan value at $240,142 due to the unamortized beneficial conversion feature of $10,791. Effective April 27, 2010, we appointed John Goodwin as a member of our board of directors. On July 30, 2010, our directors approved the adoption of the 2010 Stock Option Plan which permits our Company to issue up to 6,500,000 shares of our common stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants of our company upon the exercise of stock options granted under the 2010 Plan. On July 19, 2010, we increased the numbers of directors on our board of directors from three to four and appointed John Trevor Eyton to fill the ensuing vacancy. On July 28, 2010, we obtained an extra-provincial license to carry on business in the Province of Ontario, Canada. Our Ontario Corporation Number is 1827852. On August 30, 2010, Wayne Parsons resigned as our secretary and treasurer. On September 29, 2010. Mr. Parsons resigned as our president, chief financial officer and chief executive. His resignation was not the result of any disagreement regarding our operations, policies, practices or other disagreements, and he will remain as a member of our board of directors. On September 27, 2010, Peter Jenks and John Goodwin each resigned as members of our board of directors. Mr. Jenks' and Mr. Goodwin's resignations were not the result of any disagreements regarding our operations, policies, practices or other disagreements. To fill the vacancies created by the resignations of Mr. Parsons, Mr. Jenks and Mr. Goodwin, our Company appointed the following individuals: * Hugh Aird as a member of our board of directors, effective August 30, 2010; * Hugh Aird as our president and chief executive, effective September 29, 2010; 20
* Ann Dumyn as our secretary and treasurer, effective August 30, 2010; * Ann Dumyn as our chief financial officer, effective September 29, 2010; * Dr. H. Neville Rhoden as a member of our board of directors, effective August 30, 2010; and * Leland Verner as a member of our board of directors, effective August 30, 2010. On October 6, 2010, we granted an aggregate of 5,400,000 stock options to ten individuals, including directors, officers, consultants and employees, pursuant to our 2010 Stock Plan, at an exercise price of $0.68 per share. Of the 5,400,000 stock options, 400,000 options are exercisable until October 6, 2012 and 5,000,000 options are exercisable until October 6, 2015. All the stock options vested upon issuance. We issued the stock options to seven (7) 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 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and to three (3) U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933) relying upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. On November 9, 2010, we announced by press release our entry into a non-binding letter of intent with Lonsdale Acquisition Corporation to acquire the Kisita Gold Mine Property, an operational gold property four hours northwest of the capital city of Kampala, Uganda. The acquisition was subject to further negotiation and due diligence of the project satisfactory to us. On December 9, 2010 the Company, having performed the due diligence required to acquire the Kisita Gold Mine Property, advised Lonsdale Acquisition Corporation that it declined to proceed with the purchase agreement under its current terms and conditions. Discussions with Lonsdale Acquisition Corporation are ongoing. On December 16, 2010, Leland Verner resigned as a member of our board of directors. Mr. Verner's resignation was not the result of any disagreements regarding our operations, policies, practices or other disagreements. Our board of directors now consists of 4 directors including J. Trevor Eyton, Wayne Parsons, Hugh Aird, and Dr. H. Neville Rhoden. BUSINESS SUBSEQUENT TO THE ACQUISITION OF THE CAP GOLD PROPERTY OPTION We are an exploration stage mining company engaged in the identification, acquisition, and exploration of metals and minerals with a focus on gold mineralization on our property located in Nevada. We intend to conduct exploration and development programs on our recently optioned property. Since we are an exploration stage company, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral reserve exists on any of our current or future properties, To date, we do not know if an economically viable mineral reserve exists on our property and there is no assurance that we will discover one. Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on our property, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our property into a producing mine and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. 21
Our current operational focus is to conduct exploration activities on the Cap Gold Project and to complete the terms of the Cap Gold option agreement. For a description of our Cap Gold Project please see the section entitled "Properties" beginning on page 25. 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 properties. 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 properties 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 properties. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES We have not incurred any research and development expenditures over the past two fiscal years. EMPLOYEES Currently, we do not have any employees. Additionally, we have not entered into any consulting or employment agreements with our president, chief executive officer, treasurer, secretary or chief financial officer. Our directors, executive officers 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. SUBSIDIARIES We do not have any subsidiaries. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY We own all copyright in and to the contents of our website, www.americanparamountgold.com. We do not own, either legally or beneficially, any patent or trademark. 22
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY EXECUTIVE OFFICES As of the date of this Prospectus, our executive, administrative, and operating offices are located at 130 King St. West, Suite 3670, Toronto ON M5X 1A9. We believe these facilities are adequate for our current needs. The offices are currently provided to us free of charge on an interim basis by American Lithium Minerals, Inc. Our President, CEO and director, Hugh Aird is chairman of the board and former president of American Lithium Minerals, Inc. and our director J. Trevor Eyton is a former director of American Lithium Minerals, Inc. MINERAL PROPERTIES THE CAP GOLD PROJECT LOCATION AND ACCESS The Cap Gold Project consists of the CAP (14 claims), KAP (2 claims), and the CAPX (173 claims) unpatented mining claims forming a contiguous block of approximately 3,960 acres (1,602 hectares).

Turn right (westerly) 0.25 miles (0.4 km) south of Willow Witch Well and continue for 3 miles (4.8 km) on a dirt road into the center of the claim block. From Rachel, Nevada, follow Nevada State Highway 375 for approximately 15 miles (24.1 km) northwesterly to the eastern edge of Railroad Valley, turn left and go westerly on a paved road approximately 10 miles (6.2 km). Turn right onto a graded gravel county road that trends northerly up the Reveille Valley and go approximately 9 miles (14.5 km). Turn left on the dirt road 0.25 miles (0.4 km) south of the Willow Witch Well and proceed 3 miles (4.8 km) to the claim block. 4- Wheel drive vehicles or ATVs can access most areas of the property. OPTION AGREEMENT Our company has an option to earn an interest in the Cap Gold Project through an agreement entered into between our company and Royce L. Hackworth and Belva L.Tomany. In order to complete the transactions contemplated by the agreement, we paid $25,000 upon the closing of the agreement and an additional $100,000 upon satisfaction of our due diligence. The agreement gives our company the option to acquire a 100% long-term lease interest in the Cap Gold Project by (i) making ongoing yearly advance production royalty cash payments during the term of the agreement of $125,000 in years two (2) through five (5), $150,000 in years six (6) through twelve (12), $200,000 in years 13 through 20 and $300,000 in years 21 through 30; (ii) incurring expenditures on exploration of the Cap Gold Project of not less than an aggregate of $1,250,000 over five (5) years; and (iii) making production royalty payments from production from the property after the advance production royalty cash payments described above have been repaid to our company from production from the property. The production royalty is based on, at our company's election, a sliding scale or fixed production royalty basis, which in either case ranges from 1% to a maximum of 3%. 23
HISTORY Ownership of the property is not known prior to 1987 when Production Exploration Resources staked 14 CAP claims over several outcrops containing elevated amounts of mercury and antimony. From 1990 to August 1992 Pegasus Gold Corporation held the property under option. Subsequently Kennecott Exploration optioned the property in the period of 1994-1996. Redhawk Resources Inc. leased the property starting October 3, 2003. Four small prospect pits, dug by unknown persons, had explored outcroppings prior to the staking of the CAP claims in 1987. During 1988, Production Exploration Resources drilled 5 reverse circulation (RC) holes (T-88-1 to T-88-5), totaling 1845 feet (557 meters) on mercury-antimony anomalies. Pegasus Gold Corporation completed soil geochemistry and drilled 29 reverse circulation holes (C1-29) for a total of 12,855 feet (3918 meters). A 5-foot interval (1.5 meters) of 24.4 ppm Au (0.712 oz Au/ton) was intersected in hole C-6 and a 5-foot interval (1.5 meters) of 11.0 ppm (0.321 oz Au/ton) in hole C-8. Otherwise only low gold values were obtained. Drill logs and assay sheets are incomplete, and chips for C1 through C5 were not available. After the drilling was completed, Pegasus Gold Corporation performed an induced polarization and resistivity survey over the central part of the target area. A magnetic survey, also perhaps done after the drilling, suggests magnetic low patterns near and parallel to the high resistivity trends. In 1993, Production Exploration Resources drilled an additional 8 reverse circulation holes (T-93-6 to T-93-13) totaling 6270 feet (1912 meters). Significant intersections were cut in holes T-93-8, 6.2 ppm Au (0.181 oz Au/ton) across 10 feet (3 meters), and in hole T-93-9, 6.5 ppm Au (0.190 oz Au/ton) across 5 feet (1.5 meters). In 1994-1996, Kennecott drilled 11 reverse circulation holes (CG-1 to CG-11) for a total of 7905 feet (2411 meters). No high-grade intersections were obtained, although hole CG-1 intercepted long intervals of low-grade gold and silver, similar to those found in the Cap Structure, enclosing six separate 5 foot intervals of >0.4 g/t gold. A soil geochemical survey was also completed. In 1996 Newmont Exploration carried out a limited gravity survey over the central portion of the property. Production Exploration Resources drilled a further 5 reverse circulation holes (T-00-14 to T-00-18) in 2000 totaling 6470 feet (1972 meters). Intersections were cut in hole T-00-15 of 15.4 ppm Au (0.449 oz Au/ton) across 5.0 feet (1.5 meters) and in hole T-00-18 of 31.0 ppm Au (0.904 oz Au/ton) across 5.0 feet (1.5 meters). In total 35,345 feet (10,773 meters) of reverse circulation drilling in 58 holes has been completed since 1988. In 2004 Redhawk Resources Inc. commissioned a gradient array resistivity (GAR) survey to cover approximately one square mile centered on the CAP Zone and the area of high gold and silver values encountered in RC drilling. Spontaneous Potential Gradient (SPG) readings were also recorded during the GAR survey. Also in June-July 2004, Redhawk drilled five angle, large diameter (HQ 2.5 inch core), core holes across the CAP Zone in the area of the RC drilling with high precious metal values. The core drill holes were designed to test below and/or laterally from the previous RC drilling. Drilling in the five core holes totaled 5,645 feet (1,720 meters) along approximately 1200 feet (365 meters) strike length of the CAP Zone. There is no known mineral resource or mineral reserve estimates and there is no known mineral production from the property. 24
PROPOSED PROGRAM OF EXPLORATION The ongoing exploration program will encompass expanded and detailed geology, identify alteration envelopes, expand the gravity, GAR and SPG geophysical surveys to delineate potential targets within the structure to be tested initially by RC with follow-up core drilling, and to delineate potential precious metals targets within other parallel structures identified by the geophysical studies. Five core drill holes have intersected the Cap Zone based on results of the exploratory RC drilling and geophysical surveys which has confirmed and enhanced the interpretation of the deposit by previous operators. To further delineate the structure and mineralization distribution, large diameter core drilling program would provide more information on the configuration and mineralization of the vein systems. The knowledge gained from the Cap Zone will be applied to other potential clusters of epithermal deposits in this structural belt covered by our company's land position. There is no known mineral resource or mineral reserve estimates and there is no known mineral production from the property. ROCK FORMATIONS AND MINERALIZATION The Cap Gold Project is situated in the Toiyabe-Kawich Structural Zone of the Walker Lane Structural Belt. The Walker Lane is a terrain dominated by a series of parallel to sub-parallel, northwest trending, right lateral transcurrent faults that cross central and western Nevada. This belt hosts numerous precious metal districts and deposits; including Bullfrog, Goldfield, Tonopah, and Comstock Districts, and the Midway, Paradise Peak, and Rawhide deposits. Estimated production from the volcanic-hosted epithermal gold and silver deposits within this belt has exceeded 40 million ounces of gold and 540 million ounces of silver. Mining Districts along the approximately 10 miles wide by 50 miles long Toiyabe-Kawich Structural Zone include (from north to south): Paradise Peak, Fairplay, Athens, Bell, Republic, Cloverdale, San Antonio, Baxter-Willow Springs, Midway, Hannapah, Ellendale, Golden Arrow, Silver Bow, and Eden Creek. The tertiary volcanic-hosted epithermal Cap Gold Project is on the southern projection of this Zone approximately 12 miles southeast of the Eden District. The host rocks are rhyolite to rhyo-dacite to dacite in composition and of mid-Tertiary age. Precious metal values are hosted in silicified zones, stockworks, veins, and breccias developed along WNW, ENE, and E-W structures. Mineralized zones are enveloped by successive argillic and propylitic alteration haloes. In 2004 a five hole core drill hole drill program was undertaken by Redhawk Resources Inc. at Cap Gold. This program confirmed the presence of high gold grades (15.5 g/t gold over 4 feet in hole AC-2), and confirmed the presence of long intervals of low grade gold mineralization intersected in earlier RC drilling programs and increased the knowledge of the aurific epithermal system at Cap Gold. This program also confirmed the presence of a large, multi-episodic, precious metal bearing hydrothermal system. In addition strong argillic and strong silicification zones encountered in drilling appears to correspond well with the low and high resistivity trends, respectively, interpreted from the GAR/SPG survey. There is no known mineral resource or mineral reserve estimates and there is no known mineral production from the property. 25

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND HISTORY American Paramount Gold Corp., a Nevada corporation, (hereinafter referred to as the "Company" or "APGC") was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 20, 2006. The Company was formed to engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties of merit. The Company acquired a mineral claims option located in the Province of British Columbia, Canada during the period ending August 31, 2006 for $15,000. The Company entered into a Mineral Property Options Agreement (the "MPOA") with a private British Columbia company, whereby the Company obtained an option to acquire mineral claims known as "Astro 2006" located in British Columbia. During the period ending August 31, 2009, the Company terminated the MPOA and relieved itself from any further obligations there under. On September 12, 2008, Karl Kottmeier resigned as our President, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer, and Chief Financial Officer. As a result, on September 12, 2008, we appointed Dan Gravelle as President, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer, and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Additionally, Mr. Gravelle was appointed a director of the Company. On December 1, 2008, Karl Kotmeier resigned as a director of the Company. On November 30, 2009, we appointed Mr. Peter Jenks as a member of our board of directors.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS AND HISTORY (CONT'D) On April 22, 2010, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., wherein Monaco Capital Inc. has agreed to loan our Company up to $500,000. The loan (including accrued interest) is convertible into common shares of our Company at a conversion price of $1.05 and will bear interest of 10% per annum. The principal amount of the loan and accrued interest is due and payable one year from the advancement date. At August 31, 2010, Monaco Capital Inc. has advanced $250,933. The balance sheet at August 31, 2010 records the loan value at $240,142 due to the unamortized beneficial conversion feature of $10,791 (Note 7 Convertible Loan- Related Party). On April 27, 2010, we appointed Mr. John Goodwin to the board of directors. On July 19, 2010 we increased the numbers of directors on our board of directors from three to four and appointed J. Trevor Eyton to fill the ensuing vacancy.

On August 30, 2010 we increased the number of directors on our board of directors from four to seven and appointed Hugh Aird, Dr. H. Neville Rhoden and Leland Venner to fill the ensuing vacancies. At August 31, 2010 our board of directors consists of 7 directors including Peter Jenks, Wayne Parsons, John Goodwin, J. Trevor Eyton, Hugh Aird, Dr. H. Neville Rhoden, and Leland Verner. THE COMPANY TODAY -The Company is an exploration stage enterprise, as defined in FASB ASC 915-10 "Development Stage Entities". As an exploration stage mining company we are engaged in the identification, acquisition, and exploration of metals and minerals with a focus on gold mineralization. Our current operational focus is to conduct exploration activities on the Cap Gold Project and to complete the terms of the Cap Gold option agreement (Note 4 Mineral Properties). 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN The balance sheet presented is that of the Company for the year ended August 31, 2010 and 2009. The statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders equity (deficit) reflect the changes in stockholders equity (deficit), the results of operations and the changes in cash flows of the Company for the year ended August 31, 2010 and 2009 and from inception (July 20, 2006) to August 31, 2010. These accompanying financial statements have been prepared by management, who is responsible for their content, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. F-8
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN - (CONT'D) The Company has not generated any revenue in the current year and has accumulated substantial losses, and require additional funds to maintain its operations. Management's plans in this regard are to raise equity and/or debt financing as required. GOING CONCERN These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred a net loss of $689,292 and $17,820 for the years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009. At August 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had a deficit accumulated of $780,847 and $91,555, respectively. Since Inception (July 20, 2006) to August 31, 2010, the Company has commenced limited operations, raising substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or equity financing, but there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in accomplishing its objectives. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of the Company's plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. 3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. CAPITALIZED INTEREST The Company capitalizes interest (Nil in 2010) on expenditures made in connection with exploration and development projects that are not subject to current amortization. Interest is capitalized only for the period that activities are in progress to bring the projects to their intended use. F-9
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONT'D) MINERAL PROPERTY COSTS The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation July 20, 2006 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. In accordance with FASB ASC 932 "Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas", costs incurred to purchase or acquire a property (whether proved or unproved reserves) shall be capitalized when incurred. This includes acquisition costs associated with mineral claims. 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. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The table below presents the carrying value and fair value of the Company's financial instruments. The fair value represents management's best estimates based on a range of methodologies and assumptions. The carrying value of receivables and payables arising in the ordinary course of business and the receivable from taxing authorities, approximate fair value because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and expected realization. Quoted Significant Significant Carrying value Prices in Other Unobservable 31-Aug-10 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) --------- --------- --------- --------- FINANCIAL ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,146 $ 2,146 $ -- $ -- Prepaid and deposits 70,723 -- 70,723 -- Website (net) 23,389 -- 23,389 -- Mining claims 125,000 -- 125,000 -- FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Accounts payable and accrued expenses 76,023 -- 76,023 -- Accounts payable- related parties 1,000 -- 1,000 -- Convertible notes -related party 240,142 -- 240,142 -- Notes payable 62,907 -- 62,907 -- -------- -------- -------- -------- 31-Aug-09 --------- FINANCIAL ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents $ 7,419 $ 7,419 $ -- $ -- Prepaid and deposits 1,676 -- 1,676 -- Website (net) -- -- -- -- Mining claims -- -- -- -- FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Accounts payable and accrued expenses 150 -- 150 -- Accounts payable- related parties 500 -- 500 -- Convertible notes -related party -- -- -- -- Notes payable -- -- -- -- -------- -------- -------- -------- F-10
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONT'D) INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes", which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and tax 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 effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company has a net operating loss carry-forward to be used in future years. The Company has established a valuation allowance for the full tax benefit of the operating loss carry-forwards due to the uncertainty regarding realization. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with FASB ASC 260 "Earnings per Share". Under the provisions of FASB ASC 260 "Earnings per Share", basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the period from Inception (July 20, 2006) through August 31, 2010, common stock equivalents are the rights conferred upon Monaco Capital Inc. pursuant to the convertible loan agreement (Note 7) and those arising from the 2010 Stock Option Plan (Note 9). These stock equivalents were not included as their effect was anti-dilutive for the periods presented. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION On August 1, 2009, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718-10 and 505-10. 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. The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC 718. ASC Topic 718 requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award. F-11
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONT'D) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company obtained financing during the year from Monaco Capital Inc. which holds 52% of the Company's common shares. The balance of the loan as at August 31, 2010 was $240,142. 4. MINERAL PROPERTIES AND WEBSITE DEVELOPMENT On April 16, 2010, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire a 100% long-term lease interest in 189 unpatented mining claims situated in the Walker Lane Structural Belt in Nye County, Nevada (the "Cap Gold Project"). The 189 claims making up the Cap Gold Project form a contiguous block of approximately 3,960 acres (1,602 hectares). The Company paid $125,000 to secure the option, giving it the right to acquire a 100% long-term lease interest in the Cap Gold Project. To exercise the option the Company must: (i) make ongoing yearly advance production royalty cash payments during the term of the agreement of $125,000 in years two (2) through five (5), $150,000 in years six (6) through twelve (12), $200,000 in years 13 through 20 and $300,000 in years 21 through 30; (ii) incur expenditures on exploration of the Cap Gold Project of not less than an aggregate of $1,250,000 over five (5) years; and (iii) make production royalty payments from production from the property after the advance production royalty cash payments described above have been repaid to our Company from production from the property. At our Company's election, the production royalty may be calculated either on a sliding scale or on a fixed production royalty basis, and must range from 1% to a maximum of 3%. The Company capitalizes the costs associated with the development of the Company's website pursuant to ASC Topic 350. Other costs related to the maintenance of the website are expensed as incurred. Amortization is provided over the estimated useful life of 3 years using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company will commence amortization once the economic benefits of the assets begin to be realized. The Company capitalized $26,313 in Website development in the year. The net book value at August 31, 2010 was $23,389. 5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standard Updated (ASC) 2010-13 related to Stock Compensation, Topic 718. ASC 2010-13 addresses the classification of an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. Awards of equity share options granted to an employee of an entity's foreign operation that provide a fixed exercise price denominated in (1) the foreign operation's functional currency or (2) the currency in which the employee's pay is denominated should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. However, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) do not specify whether a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades has a market, performance, or service condition. Diversity in practice has developed on the interpretation of whether such an award should be classified as a liability when the exercise price is not denominated in either the foreign operation's functional currency or the currency in which the employee's pay is denominated. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and F-12
5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - (CONT'D) interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately. Earlier application is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-13 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-03, Extractive Activities--Oil and Gas (Topic 932): Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures. This amendment to Topic 932 has improved the reserve estimation and disclosure requirements by (1) updating the reserve estimation requirements for changes in practice and technology that have occurred over the last several decades and (2) expanding the disclosure requirements for equity method investments. This is effective for annual reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2009. However, an entity that becomes subject to the disclosures because of the change to the definition oil- and gas- producing activities may elect to provide those disclosures in annual periods beginning after December 31, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. We do not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-03 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of our Company. In January 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-06 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This amendment to Topic 505 clarifies the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260. This is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-01 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. F-13
6. NOTES PAYABLE On August 27, 2010 the Company obtained a loan from an individual in the principal amount of $32,077. Due to its short term nature the Company agreed to pay the individual $6,493 as a premium. The note payable totalling $38,569 was due and payable on or before September 15, 2010. The note was paid in full on September 10, 2010. Effective June 1, 2010 the Company obtained liability insurance for its directors and entered into a commercial premium finance agreement - promissory note for $30,720. At August 31, 2010 the balance owing AFCO was $24,338. The amount is unsecured, implied interest of 3.8% and ten monthly payments of $3,191. 7. CONVERTIBLE LOAN - RELATED PARTY On April 22, 2010, the Company entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., majority shareholder, for a principal amount of up to $500,000 for a term of one year from any applicable advancement date. The loan is unsecured and shall bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum payable on the due date. The Company may at any time during the term of the loan prepay any sum up to the full amount of the loan and accrued interest then outstanding at any time for an additional 10% of such amount. The loan (including accrued interest) is convertible into securities of the Company at a conversion price of $1.05 per share. At any time after the advancement date, if the Company has not paid the loan and accrued interest in full, the Lender may, by providing written notice to the Company, exercise its rights of conversion in respect of either a portion of the total outstanding amount of the loan as of that date into shares of the Company. At August 31, 2010, Monaco Capital Inc has advanced to the Company $250,933. The balance sheets at August 31, 2010 and 2009 recorded the loan value at $240,142 and $Nil due to the unamortized beneficial conversion feature on the convertible debt totaling $10,791 and $Nil. The initial beneficial conversion feature was valued at $16,833 of which $6,042 was amortized. The beneficial conversion feature amount has been accounted for as a debt discount which is being amortized and treated as interest expense over the term of the convertible debentures. Accrued interest at August 31, 2010 and 2009 relating to the loan totaling $8,746 and $Nil was recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively. 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT) The Company has 150,000,000 (75,000,000 pre-forward stock split) shares authorized with a par value of $0.001 per share. Effective July 25, 2006, the Company issued 40,000,000 (20,000,000 pre-forward stock split) to the founding and sole director of the Company pursuant to a stock subscription agreement at $0.0005 per share for total proceeds of $20,000, the shares were issued below par thus $20,000 was applied to accumulated deficit. Effective December 20, 2006, the Company issued 24,000,000 (12,000,000 pre-forward stock split) shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the Company's SB-2 prospectus offering at $0.0025 per share for total proceeds of $60,000. F-14
8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT) - (CONT'D) On February 26, 2010, Monaco Capital Inc. acquired a controlling interest in the Company by purchasing 40,000,000 (20,000,000 pre-forward stock split) shares of our common stock in a private transaction. On March 17, 2010, the Company filed a Plan of Merger, Merger Agreement and Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State to affect a forward stock split of its common shares on a 2 new for 1 old basis. The change was approved by FINRA effective April 12, 2010. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares of common stock and our issued and outstanding increased from 32,000,000 shares of common stock to 64,000,000 shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001. All references in these financial statements and notes to the financial statements to the number of shares, price per share and weighted average number of shares outstanding of common stock prior to this stock split have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis unless otherwise noted. On April 22, 2010, the Company entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., a majority shareholder, resulting in a beneficial conversion feature valued at $16,833 which was applied to additional paid in capital. 9. STOCK OPTIONS On April 14, 2010, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Wayne Parsons, to act as President, CEO, CFO, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company. As part of the compensation package he was granted 1,000,000 fully vested, non-transferable stock options with an exercise price of $1.00. ASC 718 and 505, the fair value of options is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes-Merton ("Black-Scholes") option-pricing model, which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Volatility is determined using historical stock prices over a period consistent with the expected term of the option. The Company utilizes the guidelines of staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) of the Securities and Exchange Commission relative to "plain vanilla" options in determining the expected term of option grants. SAB 107 permits the expected term of "plain vanilla" options to be calculated as the average of the options' vesting term and contractual period. The fair value of the options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions was recorded in the statement of operations as consulting expenses at a value of $505,200: Risk Free Interest Rate 1.07% Expected life 913 days Expected volatility 72% Dividend per share $Nil On July 30, 2010, the Company adopted the 2010 Stock Option Plan which permits the Company to issue up to 6,500,000 shares of common stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company upon the exercise of stock options granted under the 2010 Plan. At the time of the grant of the option, the F-15
9. STOCK OPTIONS - (CONT'D) Plan Administrator shall designate the expiration date of the option, which date shall not be later than five (5) years from the date of grant. The vesting schedule for each option shall be specified by the Plan Administrator at the time of grant of the Option. Effective September 29, 2010 the Plan provides for an exercise price to be established based on the Fair Market Value of a common share of the Company being the average of the high and low sales prices (or bid and ask prices, if sales prices are not reported) for the common stock for the last trading day immediately preceding the date with respect to which Fair Market Value is being determined, as reported for the principal trading market for the Common Stock. A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plan as of August 31, 2010 and 2009 and changes during the years is presented below: 2010 2009 ------------------------ ------------------------ Weighted Weighted Average Average Number of Exercise Number of Exercise Shares # Price $ Shares # Price $ -------- ------- -------- ------- Outstanding at beginning of year -- -- -- -- Granted 1,000,000 1.00 -- -- Exercised -- -- -- -- Forfeited or cancelled -- -- -- -- --------- ----- ----- ----- Outstanding at end of year 1,000,000 1.00 -- -- ========= ===== ===== ===== Exercisable 1,000,000 1.00 -- -- --------- ----- ----- ----- 10. INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, under which deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. As of August 31, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $255,646 which expire in varying amounts between 2026 and 2030. Realization of this potential future tax benefit is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the loss carry-forward. The deferred tax asset related to this potential future tax benefit has been offset by a valuation allowance in the same amount. The amount of the deferred tax asset ultimately realizable could be increased in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carry-forward period are revised. F-16

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company paid Dan Gravelle a rent payment of $2,000 for the period up to and including April 14, 2010 at which time Mr. Gravelle resigned as the director and officer of the Company. As of August 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded $2,000 and $5,500 in rent expense to Mr. Gravelle, respectively. The balance owing totalling $1,000 at August 31, 2010 was paid in full on September 16, 2010. At August 31, 2010, Monaco Capital Inc., a majority shareholder has advanced $250,933. The balance sheets at August 31, 2010 and 2009 recorded the loan value at $240,142 and $Nil due to the unamortized beneficial conversion feature on the convertible debt totaling $10,791 and $Nil. The initial beneficial conversion feature was valued at $16,833 of which $6,042 was amortized. The beneficial conversion feature amount has been accounted for as a debt discount which is being amortized and treated as interest expense over the term of the convertible debentures. Accrued interest at August 31, 2010 and 2009 relating to the loan totaling $8,746 and $Nil was recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively. 12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES On April 23, 2010 the Company entered into a consulting agreement with a consultant. The agreement can be terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party. As compensation for the services, the Company agreed to pay to the consultant a monthly fee payable on the 15th day of each month for the term of the agreement. A further compensation was agreed upon whereby the Company will pay the consultant, within ten (10) days of the Company receiving, collectively since January 1, 2010, private placement funds equal to $500,000, an amount of $10,500. No further compensation is due as at September 30, 2010. F-17
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On September 7, 2010, and October 13, 2010 Monaco Capital Inc. advanced $100,000 and $50,000 respectively. The total advanced under the Convertible Loan is $400,932. On September 27, 2010, Peter Jenks and John Goodwin each resigned as members of our board of directors.

Since September 27, 2010, our board of directors has consisted of 5 directors including J. Trevor Eyton, Wayne Parsons, Hugh Aird, Dr. H. Neville Rhoden, and Leland Verner. On September 29, 2010, Wayne Parsons resigned as our president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Mr. Parsons' resignation was not the result of any disagreements regarding the Company's operations, policies, practices or other disagreements and he remains a member of our board of directors. As a result on September 29, 2010, we appointed Hugh Aird as our president and chief executive officer and Ann Dumyn as our chief financial officer. On April 14, 2010, we entered into a consulting agreement with Wayne Parsons whereby Mr. Parsons agreed to provide our Company with various consulting services as the president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, secretary and treasurer. In consideration of his services, we agreed to provide Mr. Parsons with a monthly payment of CDN$1,500 and a one-time grant of 1,000,000 non-transferable options with each option to acquire one share of our common stock at a purchase price of US$1.00 per share, exercisable for five (5) years. The aforementioned 1,000,000 options were issued, and subsequently re-issued on October 6, 2010 at a renegotiated purchase price of $0.68 as part of the below described issuance under our 2010 Stock Plan. On October 6, 2010, we granted an aggregate of 5,400,000 stock options to ten individuals, including directors, officers, consultants and employees, pursuant to our 2010 Stock Plan, at an exercise price of $0.68 per share. Of the 5,400,000 stock options, 400,000 options are exercisable until October 5, 2012 and 5,000,000 options are exercisable until October 6, 2015. We issued the stock options to seven (7) 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 and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and to three (3) U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933) relying upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. On August 30, 2010, Wayne Parsons resigned as secretary and treasurer of the Company. On September 29, 2010 Mr. Parsons resigned as president, chief financial officer and chief executive officer of the Company. Concurrently on September 29, 2010, the consulting agreement dated April 14, 2010 between Mr. Parsons and the Company was terminated. In connection with the termination of the consulting agreement the Company agreed to cancel 1,000,000 fully vested stock options with an exercise price of $1.00 that were issued to Mr. Parsons on April 14, 2010 as compensation under the consulting agreement, and to issue to Mr. Parsons 1,000,000 fully vested stock options under the 2010 Stock Plan. The 1,000,000 options under the 2010 Stock Plan were issued on October 6, 2010 and are exercisable at a price of $0.68 until October 6, 2015. The 1,000,000 options issued on April 14, 2010 were cancelled effective November 18, 2010. The 1,000,000 options are included in the 5,400,000 issued stock options referenced above. On November 8, 2010, we entered into a letter of intent with Lonsdale Acquisitions Corp. to acquire the Kisita Gold Mine Property, an operational gold property four hours northwest of the capital city of Kampala in Uganda. The Company has commenced onsite and corporate due diligence. F-18
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, including the notes thereto, appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. The discussion of results, causes and trends should not be construed to imply any conclusion that these results or trends will necessarily continue into the future. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This Prospectus contains certain forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are "forward-looking statements" for the purposes of this Prospectus, including any projections of earnings, revenues, or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies, and objectives of management for future operation; any statements concerning proposed new products, services, or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Such forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements. OVERVIEW We are an exploration stage mining company engaged in the identification, acquisition, and exploration of metals and minerals with a focus on the exploration of potential gold mineralization on our Cap Gold property located in Nevada. Since we are an exploration stage company, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral reserve exists on any of our current or future properties, to date, we do not know if an economically viable mineral reserve exists on our property and there is no assurance that we will discover one. Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on our property, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our property into a producing mine and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Our current operational focus is to conduct exploration activities on the Cap Gold Project pursuant to our option agreement in respect of that property. We are also investigating opportunities on an ongoing basis to acquire additional exploration stage or operational gold properties. On November 9, 2010, we announced by press release our entry into a non-binding letter of intent with Lonsdale Acquisition Corporation to acquire the Kisita Gold Mine Property, an operational gold property four hours northwest of the capital city of Kampala, Uganda. On December 9, 2010 the Company, having performed the due diligence required to acquire the Kisita Gold Mine Property, advised Lonsdale Acquisition Corporation that it declined to proceed with the purchase agreement under its current terms and conditions. Discussions with Lonsdale Acquisition Corporation are ongoing. 29
PURCHASE OF SIGNIFICANT EQUIPMENT We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment during the twelve months beginning September 1, 2010. PERSONNEL PLAN We do not expect any material changes in the number of employees during the twelve months beginning September 1, 2010. We do and will continue to outsource contract employment as needed. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS There are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors. Our principal capital resources have been through the subscription and issuance of common stock, although we have also used stockholder loans and advances from related parties. CASH REQUIREMENTS We intend to conduct exploration activities on our newly optioned property during the twelve months beginning September 1, 2010. We estimate our operating expenses and working capital requirements for the twelve month period beginning September 1, 2010 to be as follows: ESTIMATED EXPENSES FOR THE TWELVE MONTH PERIOD BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 1, 2010 General, Administrative, and Corporate Expenses $ 200,000 Operating Expenses $ 200,000 Exploration $1,500,000 ---------- TOTAL $1,900,000 ========== At present, our cash requirements for the next 12 months (beginning September 1, 2010) outweigh the funds available to maintain or develop our properties. Of the $1,900,000 that we require for the next 12 months, we had $2,146 in cash as of August 31, 2010 and a working capital deficit of $307,203. In order to improve our liquidity, we plan pursue additional equity financing from private investors or possibly a registered public offering. With the exception of the ongoing convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc. described below, we do not currently have any definitive arrangements in place for the completion of any further private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further private placement financings. If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our business activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources that are available to us. On April 22, 2010, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., wherein Monaco Capital Inc. has agreed to loan our Company up to $500,000. The loan (including accrued interest) is convertible in whole or in part into common shares of our Company at a conversion price of $1.05. The loan will bear interest at 10% per annum. The principal amount of the loan and accrued interest is due and payable one year from the advancement date. 30
As at August 31, 2010, $259,679 has been advanced under the loan agreement. The balance sheet at August 31, 2010 records the loan value at $240,142 due to the unamortized beneficial conversion feature of $10,791. On September 7, 2010, October 13, 2010 and December 6, 2010 Monaco Capital Inc. advanced $100,000, $50,000 and $100,000, respectively. On December 17, 2010, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., wherein Monaco Capital Inc. has agreed to loan our company up to $5,000,000. The convertible loan agreement replaced the original agreement with Monaco Capital Inc., dated April 22, 2010 and provided that the principal of $500,933 advanced under it, along with $20,664 in unpaid, accrued interest, to and including December 17, 2010, be treated as if issued under the terms of the new agreement. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum payable on the due date. The loan is convertible into securities of the Company at a conversion price calculated as the mean volume weighted average price for the Company's common stock during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the latest complete trading day prior to the conversion date. The principal amount of the loan and accrued interest is due and payable one year from the advancement date. We may at any time during the term of the loan prepay any sum up to the full amount of the loan and accrued interest then outstanding for an additional 10% of such amount. On December 29, 2010 Monaco Capital Inc. advanced $100,000. The total advanced under the convertible loan agreement is $621,596. 31
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31, 2010, AUGUST 31, 2009 AND AUGUST 31, 2008, AND FOR THE PERIOD FROM INCEPTION (JUNE 20, 2006) TO AUGUST 31, 2010. The following summary of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the years ended August 31, 2010 and August 31, 2009. Our operating results for the years ended August 31, 2010, August 31, 2009, August 31, 2008 and for the period from Inception (June 20, 2006) to August 31, 2010 are summarized as follows: Inception (June 20, 2006) to Year Ended August 31, August 31, 2010 2009 2008 2010 -------- -------- -------- -------- Revenue $ -- $ -- $ -- $ -- Operating Expenses $674,503 $ 17,820 $ 20,102 $746,058 Other Expense $ 14,789 $ -- $ -- $ 14,789 Net Loss $689,292) $ 17,820) $ 20,102 $760,847 REVENUES We did not earn any revenues from our inception through year ended August 31, 2010 and have not subsequently earned any revenues. OPERATING EXPENSES Our expenses for the years ended August 31, 2010, August 31, 2009, August 31, 2008 and for the period from Inception (June 20, 2006) to August 31, 2010 are outlined in the table below: Inception Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended (June 20, 2006) to August 31, August 31, August 31, August 31, 2010 2009 2008 2010 -------- -------- -------- -------- Consulting Fees $537,230 $ -- $ -- $537,230 Exploration expenses $ -- $ -- $ 2,500 $ 17,500 General and administrative expenses $ 28,381 $ 2,165 $ 5,573 $ 43,242 Rent expenses - related party $ 2,000 $ 5,500 $ -- $ 7,500 Professional fees $106,892 $ 10,155 $ 12,029 $140,586 The decrease in expenses for the year ended August 31, 2009, compared to the same period in fiscal 2008, was mainly due to a decrease in exploration expenses and general and administrative expenses. The increase in expenses for the year ended August 31, 2010 compared to the same period in fiscal 2009 was mainly due to an increase in consulting fees payable to our then president and chief executive officer in the form of options to purchase our common stock and an increase in general and administrative and professional fees resulting from payments made by us in respect of the Cap Gold Project. 32
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION AS AT AUGUST 31, 2010 Our financial position as at August 31, 2010, August 31, 2009, and August 31, 2008 was as follows: WORKING CAPITAL As at As at As at August 31, 2010 August 31, 2009 August 31, 2008 --------------- --------------- --------------- $ $ $ Current Assets 72,869 9,095 28,241 Current Liabilities 380,072 650 1,976 Working Capital (Deficiency) (307,203) 8,445 26,265 Our working capital surplus decreased from $8,445 at August 31, 2009 to ($307,203) at August 31, 2010 primarily as a result of decreases in cash. Our working capital deficit decreased from $8,845 at August 31, 2009 to ($307,203) at August 31, 2010 primarily as a result of our convertible loan from Monaco Capital whereby Monaco Capital Inc. has agreed to loan our company up to $500,000. The loan (and accrued interest) is convertible in whole or in part into common shares of our company at a conversion price of $1.05 and will bear interest at 10% per annum. The principal amount of the loan and accrued interest is due and payable one year from the advancement date. We may at any time during the term of the loan prepay any sum up to the full amount of the loan and accrued interest then outstanding for an additional 10% of such amount. At August 31, 2010 Monaco Capital Inc. has advanced $250,933. The balance sheet at August 31, 2010 records the loan value net of beneficial conversion feature loan discount of $10,791. Accrued interest relating to the loan totaled $8,746 as at August 31, 2010 and was recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The initial beneficial conversion feature was valued at $16,833 of which $6,042 was amortized. On September 7, 2010, October 13, 2010 and December 6, 2010 Monaco Capital Inc. advanced $100,000, $50,000 and $100,000, respectively.

CASH FLOWS Inception Year Ended Year Ended Year Ended (June 20, 2006) to August 31, August 31, August 31, August 31, 2010 2009 2008 2010 -------- -------- -------- -------- Net cash provided by (used in) Operating Activities $(176,546) $ (20,822) $ (20,626) $(249,127) Net cash provided by (used in) Investing Activities $(151,313) $ -- $ -- $(151,313) Net cash provided by (used in) Financing Activities $ 322,586 $ -- $ -- $ 402,586 Increase (Decrease) in Cash during the Year $ (5,273) $ (20,822) $ (20,626) $ 2,146 Cash, Beginning of Year $ 7,419 $ 28,241 $ 48,867 $ -- Cash, End of Year $ 2,146 $ 7,419 $ 28,241 $ 2,146 Our principal source of funds has been from our loan from Monaco Capital Inc. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS As a "smaller reporting company", we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations. GOING CONCERN We incurred a net loss for the years ending August 31, 2010 and 2009 of $689,292 and $17,820, respectively and at August 31, 2010 had a deficit accumulated during the exploration stage of $780,847. Since Inception (July 20, 2006) to August 31, 2010, we had commenced limited operations, raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will seek additional sources of capital through the issuance of debt or equity financing, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing our objectives. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on additional sources of capital and the success of our plan. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders. APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with 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 amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 34
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of the statement of cash flows, our Company considers highly liquid financial instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. INCOME TAXES Our Company accounts for its income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) 740, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and our respective tax basis and tax 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 effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Our Company has a net operating loss carry-forward to be used in future years. Our Company has established a valuation allowance for the full tax benefit of the operating loss carry-forwards due to the uncertainty regarding realization. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ASC 825 "Financial Instruments", requires our Company to disclose, when reasonably attainable, the fair market value of its assets and liabilities which are deemed to be financial instruments. The carrying amount and estimated fair values of our Company's financial instruments approximated their fair value due to their short-term nature. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Our Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share" and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (SAB 98). Under the provisions of ASC 260 and SAB 98, basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net loss per share gives effect to common stock equivalents; however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive. For the period from our inception on July 20, 2006 through August 31, 2010, our Company had no potentially dilutive securities. MINERAL PROPERTY COSTS The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation July 20, 2006 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. In accordance with FASB ASC 932 "Extractive Activities-Oil and Gas", costs incurred to purchase or acquire a property (whether proved or unproved reserves) shall be capitalized when incurred. This includes acquisition costs associated with mineral claims. 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. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION On August 1, 2009, our Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB ASC 718-10. Our 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. 35
The Company records stock based compensation in accordance with the guidance in ASC 718. ASC Topic 718 requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards. This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standard Updated (ASC) 2010-13 related to Stock Compensation, Topic 718. ASC 2010-13 addresses the classification of an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades. Awards of equity share options granted to an employee of an entity's foreign operation that provide a fixed exercise price denominated in (1) the foreign operation's functional currency or (2) the currency in which the employee's pay is denominated should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. However, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) do not specify whether a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which the underlying equity security trades has a market, performance, or service condition. Diversity in practice has developed on the interpretation of whether such an award should be classified as a liability when the exercise price is not denominated in either the foreign operation's functional currency or the currency in which the employee's pay is denominated. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this Update should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately. Earlier application is permitted. We do not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-03 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of our Company. In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-03, Extractive Activities--Oil and Gas (Topic 932): Oil and Gas Reserve Estimation and Disclosures. This amendment to Topic 932 has improved the reserve estimation and disclosure requirements by (1) updating the reserve estimation requirements for changes in practice and technology that have occurred over the last several decades and (2) expanding the disclosure requirements for equity method investments. This is effective for annual reporting periods ending on or after December 31, 2009. However, an entity that becomes subject to the disclosures because of the change to the definition oil- and gas- producing activities may elect to provide those disclosures in annual periods beginning after December 31, 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. We do not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-03 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of our Company. In January 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06 (ASU 2010-06), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-06 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. 36
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-01, Equity (Topic 505): Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders with Components of Stock and Cash (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). This amendment to Topic 505 clarifies the stock portion of a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a limit on the amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260. Effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and would be applied on a retrospective basis. We do not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-01 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of our Company.

OTHER DIRECTORSHIPS Except as indicated above, none of our directors hold any other directorships in any company with a class of securities registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act or subject to the requirements of section 15(d) of such Act or any company registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND DIRECTOR NOMINEES The Board will consider candidates for directors proposed by security holders, although no formal procedures for submitting candidates have been adopted. Unless otherwise determined, at any time not less than 90 days prior to the next annual Board meeting at which a slate of director nominees is adopted, the Board will accept written submissions from proposed nominees that include the name, address and telephone number of the proposed nominee; a brief statement of the nominee's qualifications to serve as a director; and a statement as to why the security holder submitting the proposed nominee believes that the nomination would be in the best interests of our security holders. If the proposed nominee is not the same person as the security holder submitting the name of the nominee, a letter from the nominee agreeing to the submission of his or her name for consideration should be provided at the time of submission. The letter should be accompanied by a resume supporting the nominee's qualifications to serve on the Board, as well as a list of references. 41
The Board identifies director nominees through a combination of referrals from different people, including management, existing Board members and security holders. Once a candidate has been identified, the Board reviews the individual's experience and background and may discuss the proposed nominee with the source of the recommendation. If the Board believes it to be appropriate, Board members may meet with the proposed nominee before making a final determination whether to include the proposed nominee as a member of the slate of director nominees submitted to security holders for election to the Board. Some of the factors which the Board considers when evaluating proposed nominees include their knowledge of and experience in business matters, finance, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions. The Board may request additional information from each candidate prior to reaching a determination, and it is under no obligation to formally respond to all recommendations, although as a matter of practice, it will endeavor to do so. CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Our directors are not obligated to commit their full time and attention to our business and, accordingly, they may encounter a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and those of other businesses. In the course of their other business activities, they may become aware of investment and business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as other entities to which they owe a fiduciary duty. As a result, they may have conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. They may also in the future become affiliated with entities, engaged in business activities similar to those we intend to conduct. In general, officers and directors of a corporation are required to present business opportunities to a corporation if: * the corporation could financially undertake the opportunity; * the opportunity is within the corporation's line of business; and * it would be unfair to the corporation and its stockholders not to bring the opportunity to the attention of the corporation. We plan to adopt a code of ethics that obligates our directors, officers and employees to disclose potential conflicts of interest and prohibits those persons from engaging in such transactions without our consent. AUDIT COMMITTEE On August 30, 2010 our board of directors appointed an audit committee consisting of our directors J. Trevor Eyton, Leland Verner and Hugh Aird. J. Trevor Eyton will serve as committee chair. Due to his subsequent appointment on September 29, 2010 as our President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Aird resigned from the audit committee on November 8, 2010. Wayne Parsons was concurrently appointed to fill the ensuing vacancy on the committee. Mr. Verner resigned from the board of directors on December 16, 2010. Since December 16, 2010, our audit committee consists of our directors J. Trevor Eyton and Wayne Parsons. CODE OF ETHICS We have not adopted a code of ethics that applies to our officers, directors and employees. When we do adopt a code of ethics, we will disclose it in a Current Report on Form 8-K. 42

---------- (1) Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on January 4, 2011. As of January 4, 2011, there were 64,000,000 shares of our company's common stock issued and outstanding.

As of August 30, 2010, we have a standing audit committee and a standing compensation committee. We do not have a standing nominating committee, but our entire board of directors acts in that capacity. We believe that our audit committee and our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does not believe that it is necessary at this time to have a standing nominating committee because we believe that the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors. 48
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION OF SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law. The general effect of the foregoing is to indemnify a control person, officer or director from liability, thereby making us responsible for any expenses or damages incurred by such control person, officer or director in any action brought against them based on their conduct in such capacity, provided they did not engage in fraud or criminal activity. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or control persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable. 49
DEALER PROSPECTUS DELIVERY OBLIGATION Until a date, which is 90 days after the date of this prospectus, all dealers that effect transactions in these securities whether or not participating in this offering, may be required to deliver a prospectus when acting as underwriters and with respect to their unsold allotments or subscriptions.
PART II--INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS OTHER EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION Our estimated expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered in this Prospectus are as follows: Commission filing fee $ 254.52 Legal fees and expenses 15,000 Accounting fees and expenses 7,000 Miscellaneous 100 ---------- Total $22,354.52 ========== INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS The Nevada Revised Statutes provide that: * a corporation may indemnify 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, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; * a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation. Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper; and II-1
* to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defence of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defence of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense. We may make any discretionary indemnification only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances.

UNDERTAKINGS The registrant hereby undertakes: 1. To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: (i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act; (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; 2. That for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; 3. To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering; and 4. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the registrant or used or referred to by the registrant; (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the registrant; and (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the registrant to the purchaser. II-4
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defence of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
