CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report constitute "forward-looking statements.” These statements, identified by words such as “plan,” "anticipate,” "believe,” "estimate,” "should,” "expect" and similar expressions include our expectations and objectives regarding our future financial position, operating results and business strategy. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others, general business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; the actual results of current exploration activities; actual results of reclamation activities; conclusions of economic evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; changes in labor costs or other costs of production; future mineral prices; equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; accidents, labor disputes and other risks of the mining industry, including but not limited to environmental hazards, cave-ins, pit-wall failures, flooding, rock bursts and other acts of God or unfavorable operating conditions and losses; political instability, insurrection or war; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or financing or in the completion of development or construction activities, as well as those factors discussed in the section titled "Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report.

Forward looking statement are based on a number of material factors and assumptions, including the results of exploration and drilling activities, the availability and final receipt of required approvals, licenses and permits, that sufficient working capital is available to complete proposed exploration and drilling activities, that contracted parties provide goods and/or services on the agreed time frames, the equipment necessary for exploration is available as scheduled and does not incur unforeseen break downs, that no labor shortages or delays are incurred and that no unusual geological or technical problems occur. While the Company considers these assumptions may be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect. Actual results may vary from such forward-looking information for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to risks and uncertainties disclosed in the section titled “Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report.

We intend to discuss in our Quarterly Reports and Annual Reports any events or circumstances that occurred during the period to which such documents relate that are reasonably likely to cause actual events or circumstances to differ materially from those disclosed in this Quarterly Report. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors and to assess in advance the impact of each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of such factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forwarding looking statement.

We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), particularly our periodic reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

OVERVIEW

We were incorporated on January 21, 2000 under the laws of the State of Nevada.

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. We currently hold 100% title in a major claim block of 1,293 mineral claims, covering approximately 25,860 acres located in Mineral County, Nevada (the “New York Canyon Claims”). We also hold 21 patented mineral claims covering an area of approximately 420 acres, located within the vicinity of the New York Canyon Claims area. We collectively refer to the New York Canyon Claims and the patented claims as the “New York Canyon Project.”

3

We have not earned any revenues to date and do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we enter into commercial production of our mineral properties. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that commercially viable mineral deposits exist on our claims or that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such deposits are discovered, that we will enter into further substantial exploration programs.

RECENT CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

Since the filing of our Quarterly Report for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 with the SEC on November 1, 2010, we experienced the following significant corporate developments:

Amendment to Articles of Incorporation

Effective November 24, 2010, we amended our Articles of Incorporation by decreasing our issued and authorized common stock on a 79-for-100 basis (the “Reverse Split”). Accordingly, the authorized capital of common stock has been decreased from 166,666,666 shares, par value $0.00001 per share, to 131,666,666 shares, par value $0.00001 per share. As a result of the Reverse Split, the number of shares of our common stock outstanding was decreased correspondingly from 78,390,307 to 61,928,359 shares.

Entry into Loan Agreements

We entered into the following loan agreements with Anthony Harvey, our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and member of our Board of Directors:

Non-Brokered Private Placement

On January 19, 2011, we approved a non-brokered private placement offering of 9,000,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of CDN $0.35 per Unit (the “Non-Brokered Offering”). Each Unit will consist of one share of our common stock and one-half share purchase warrant (the “Warrants”), with each whole Warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional share of our common stock at a price of CDN $0.50 per share for a period of eighteen months from the date of issuance of the Units. We may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants if the trading price of our common stock is equal to or greater than CDN $0.60 per share for ten consecutive trading days. The Non-Brokered Offering will be made to persons who are not “U.S. Persons” as defined by Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933.

Section 4(2) Private Placement

On January 19, 2011, we also approved a private placement offering of 142,857 Units at a price of CDN $0.35 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to CDN $50,000. This offering will be completed pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 to persons who are either a director or executive officer of the Company. The Units issued under this offering will be on the same terms as the Non-Brokered Offering.

Brokered Private Placement

On January 26, 2011, we entered into an engagement letter with MGI Securities Inc. (“MGI”) whereby MGI has agreed to act as the agent for a private placement offering of 4,285,714 Units at a price of CDN $0.35 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to CDN $1,500,000 (the “Brokered Offering”). Each Unit will consist of one share of our Common Stock and one-half share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional share of our common stock at a price of CDN $0.50 per share for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance of the Units. We will also have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the warrants if the trading price of our common stock has been equal to or greater than the weighted

4

average price of CDN $0.60 for ten consecutive days. We also agreed to grant MGI an over-allotment option to purchase up to 2,857,142 Units at the offering price for gross proceeds of CDN $1,000,000 within ten business days of closing of the Brokered Offering.

In consideration of MGI acting as agent, we have agreed to pay a cash commission to MGI equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Brokered Offering and the Over-Allotment Option and issue to MGI a non-transferable option entitling MGI to purchase up to 6% of the Units sold under the Brokered Offering and the Over-Allotment Option at the Offering Price for a period of 18 months from completion of the Liquidity Event (defined below) or such other transaction which will result our shares, or a successor corporation, being freely tradable on a recognized Canadian stock exchange.

The Brokered Offering and the Over-Allotment Option will be completed pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act and Canadian National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus and Registration Exemptions.

The proceeds of the three private placement offerings will be used for work on our New York Canyon Project, working capital and general corporate purposes. There is no assurance that the private placement offerings or any part of them will be completed.

The above does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of our securities in the United States. The securities have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. persons unless an exemption from such registration is available.

Sponsorship Engagement Letter

On January 26, 2011, we also entered into a sponsorship engagement letter (the “Sponsorship Engagement Letter”) with MGI whereby MGI has agreed to act as the sponsor in support of our listing on the TSX Venture Exchange (a “Liquidity Event”). Under the terms of the Sponsorship Engagement Letter, we have agreed to pay a fee of CDN $20,000 to MGI and to reimburse MGI for its legal, due diligence and out-of-pocket expenses. The completion of a sponsorship report to the TSX Venture Exchange is subject to the completion of satisfactory due diligence of MGI, of which there is no assurance.

PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion and analysis summarizes our plan of operation for the next twelve months, our results of operations for the six month period ended December 31, 2010 and changes in our financial condition from June 30, 2010. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2010.

Due to insufficient capital, we did not conduct any exploration work on our New York Canyon Project during the six month period ended December 31, 2010. Our exploration program for the New York Canyon Project involves the following:

5

In order to implement our exploration program and to continue our operations, we anticipate that we will require the following:

As at December 31, 2010, we had cash of $35,837 and, for the next twelve months, management anticipates that the minimum cash requirements to fund our proposed exploration program and our continued operations will be $942,000. We do not have sufficient funds to meet our planned expenditures over the next twelve months and will need to seek financing to meet our planned expenditures. However, there is no assurance we will be successful in raising the necessary funding or on terms that are acceptable to us. Since inception, we have been dependent on investment capital and debt financing from third parties as our primary source of liquidity. We anticipate continuing to rely on sales of shares of our common stock and loans in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in further dilution of our existing shareholders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter and Six Months Summary

Revenues

We have not earned any revenues to date and do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we enter into commercial production of our mineral properties. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in discovering commercial quantities or that we can commercially produce metals or minerals. We are presently an exploration stage company engaged in the search for mineral reserves. We can provide no

6

assurances that we will be able to discover any commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our property, or, even if such resources are discovered, that we will be able to enter into commercial production of our mineral properties.

Expenses

Our expenses for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 consisted of the following:

Our operating expenses increased from $119,402 during the three months ended December 31, 2009, to $125,620, during the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in our operating expenses is due to increases in our mineral exploration costs and foreign exchange loss. This was partially offset by decreases in general and administrative expenses.

General and administration expenses, during the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, primarily consisted of: (i) consulting fees incurred for services provided by our executive officers; and (ii) legal and accounting fees in connection with meeting our ongoing reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Additional general and administrative expenses during the six months ended December 2009, is due to stock based compensation expenses of $362,614.

Mineral exploration costs, during the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, consisted of annual payments to maintain the New York Canyon Project in good standing, mineral lease payments and consulting fees in connection with our New York Canyon Project.

We anticipate that our expenses will increase over the next twelve months due to our ongoing planned exploration activities on the New York Canyon Project.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working Capital

7

As at December 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of $504,398 as compared to a working capital deficit of $181,254 as at June 30, 2010. The increase to our working capital deficit is primarily a result of a significant decrease in cash in order to meet ongoing operating expenses and mineral claim payments on our New York Canyon Project

Future Financings

Our plan of operation calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of the New York Canyon Project and requires us to obtain financing. We recorded a net loss of $448,077 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and have an accumulated deficit of $21,433,564 since inception. As at December 31, 2010, we had cash of $35,837 and, for the next twelve months, management anticipates that the minimum cash requirements to fund our proposed exploration program and our continued operations will be $942,000. Accordingly, we do not have sufficient funds to meet our planned expenditures over the next twelve months and will need to seek financing to meet our planned expenditures. In January 2011, our Board of Directors approved the following private placement offerings.

Non-Brokered Private Placement

On January 19, 2011, we approved the Non-Brokered Offering of 9,000,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of CDN $0.35 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one share of our common stock and one-half share purchase warrant (the “Warrants”), with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional share of our common stock at a price of CDN $0.50 per share for a period of eighteen months from the date of issuance of the Units. We may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants if the trading price of our common stock is equal to or greater than CDN $0.60 per share for ten consecutive trading days. The Non-Brokered Offering will be made to persons who are not “U.S. Persons” as defined by Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933.

Section 4(2) Private Placement

On January 19, 2011, we also approved a private placement offering of 142,857 Units at a price of CDN $0.35 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to $50,000. This offering will be completed pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 to persons who are either a director or executive officer of the Company. The Units issued under this offering will be on the same terms as the Non-Brokered Offering.

Brokered Private Placement

On January 26, 2011, we entered into an engagement letter with MGI Securities Inc. (“MGI”) whereby MGI has agreed to act as the agent for a private placement offering of 4,285,714 units at a price of CDN $0.35 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to CDN $1,500,000 (the “Brokered Offering”). Each Unit will consist of one share of our Common Stock and one-half share purchase warrant, with each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional share of our common stock at a price of CDN $0.50 per share for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance of the Units. We agreed to grant MGI an over-allotment option to purchase up to 2,857,142 Units at the offering price for gross proceeds of CDN $1,000,000 within ten business days of closing of the Brokered Offering.

In consideration of MGI acting as agent, we have agreed to pay a cash commission to MGI equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Brokered Offering and the Over-Allotment Option and issue to MGI a non-transferable option entitling MGI to purchase up to 6% of the Units sold under the Brokered Offering and the Over-Allotment Option at the Offering Price for a period of 18 months from completion of the Liquidity Event

8

(defined below) or such other transaction which will result our shares, or a successor corporation, being freely tradable on a recognized Canadian stock exchange.

The Brokered Offering and the Over-Allotment Option will be completed pursuant to Regulation S of the United States Securities Act of 1933 and Canadian National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus and Registration Exemptions.

The proceeds of the three private placement offerings will be used for work on our New York Canyon Project, working capital and general corporate purposes. There is no assurance that the private placement offerings or any part of them will be completed.

The above does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of our securities in the United States. The securities have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. persons unless an exemption from such registration is available.

Obtaining financing is subject to a number of factors, including the market prices for the mineral property and copper. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us. Since our inception, we have used our common stock to raise money for our operations and for our property acquisitions. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our plan of operation. For these reasons, our independent auditors believe there exists a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

None.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have identified certain accounting policies, described below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report for the year ended June 30, 2010.

Mineral Property Costs

We have been in the exploration stage since our inception on January 21, 2000 and have not yet realized any revenues from our planned operations. We are primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized. We assess the carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” at each fiscal quarter end. When we have been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with ASC 360, “Property Plant and Equipment”, we test long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the

9

asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

Stock-Based Compensation

We record stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Based Compensation” and ASC 505, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to employees and directors, including stock options.

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value. This model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not limited to our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

ITEM 3.              QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not Applicable.

ITEM 4T.            CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2010 (the “Evaluation Date”). This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date as a result of the material weaknesses disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 (the “2010 Annual Report”).

Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as identified in our 2010 Annual Report, we believe that our financial statements contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2010 fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in all material respects.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.              LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

Other than as previously disclosed in our 2010 Annual Report, we are not party to any legal proceedings and there have been no material developments to the proceedings previously disclosed in our 2010 Annual Report.

ITEM 1A.            RISK FACTORS.

The following are some of the important factors that could affect our financial performance or could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates contained in our forward-looking statements. We may encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation.

We lack an operating history and have losses which we expect to continue into the future. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease exploration activities and if we do not obtain sufficient financing, our business will fail.

We were incorporated on January 21, 2000 and to date have been involved primarily in organizational activities, the acquisition of mineral claims and the exploration and development on these claims. We have no exploration history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is dependent upon: (i) our ability to locate a profitable mineral property; and (ii) our ability to generate revenues.

Our plan of operation calls for significant expenses in connection with the exploration of the New York Canyon Project, which will require us to obtain financing. We recorded a net loss of $128,556 for the three months ended December 31, 2010 and have an accumulated deficit of $21,433,564 since inception. As at December 31, 2010, we had cash of $35,837 and for the next twelve months, management anticipates that the minimum cash requirements to fund our proposed exploration program and our continued operations will be $942,000. Accordingly, we do not have sufficient funds to meet our planned expenditures over the next twelve months and will need to seek financing to meet our planned expenditures.

Obtaining financing would be subject to a number of factors, including the market prices for the mineral property and base and precious metals. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us. Since our inception, we have used our common stock to raise money for our operations and for our property acquisitions. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our plan of operation. For these reasons, our independent auditors believe there exists a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Because we anticipate our operating expenses will increase prior to our earning revenues, we may never achieve profitability.

Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the exploration of our mineral claims and the production of minerals thereon, if any, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we may not be able to ever generate any operating revenues or achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail.

Because we are an exploration stage company, our business has a high risk of failure.

As noted in the financial statements that are included with this report, we are an exploration stage company that has incurred net losses since inception, we have not attained profitable operations and we are

11

dependent upon obtaining adequate financing to complete our exploration activities. These conditions, as indicated in our audit report included in our 2010 Annual Report, raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The success of our business operations will depend upon our ability to obtain further financing to complete our planned exploration program and to attain profitable operations. If we are not able to complete a successful exploration program and attain sustainable profitable operations, then our business will fail.

Because we have not commenced business operations, we face a high risk of business failure.

We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this Quarterly Report. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates.

We have no known mineral reserves and if we cannot find any, we will have to cease operations.

We have no mineral reserves. Mineral exploration is highly speculative. It involves many risks and is often non-productive. Even if we are able to find mineral reserves on our property our production capability is subject to further risks including:

The marketability of any minerals acquired or discovered may be affected by numerous factors which are beyond our control and which cannot be accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the lack of milling facilities and processing equipment near the New York Canyon Project and such other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to allowable production, exporting of minerals, and environmental protection. If we do not find a mineral reserve or define a mineral inventory containing gold, silver, copper, zinc or iron or if we cannot explore the mineral reserve, either because we do not have the money to do it or because it will not be economically feasible to do it, we will have to cease operations and investors will lose their investment.

In order to maintain our rights to the New York Canyon Project, we will be required to make annual filings with federal and state regulatory agencies and/or be required to complete assessment work on the New York Canyon Project.

In order to maintain our rights to the New York Canyon Project, we will be required to make annual filings with federal and state regulatory authorities. Currently the amount of these fees is approximately $195,000; however, these maintenance fees are subject to adjustment. In addition, we may be required by federal and/or state legislation or regulations to complete minimum annual amounts of mineral exploration work on the New York Canyon Project. A failure by us to meet the annual maintenance requirements under federal and state laws could cause our rights to the New York Canyon Project to lapse.

Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages if and when we conduct mineral exploration activities.

The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, if and when we conduct exploration activities we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

If the price of base and precious metals declines, our financial condition and ability to obtain future financings will be impaired.

The price of base and precious metals is affected by numerous factors, all of which are beyond our control. Factors that tend to cause the price of base and precious metals to decrease include the following:

Our business is dependent on the price of base and precious metals. We have not undertaken hedging transactions in order to protect us from a decline in the price of base and precious metals. A decline in the price of base and precious metals may also decrease our ability to obtain future financings to fund our planned development and exploration programs.

If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may not be able to implement our business plan.

Our success is dependent upon the performance of key personnel working full-time in management, supervisory and administrative capacities or as consultants. This is particularly true in highly technical businesses such as mineral exploration. These individuals are in high demand and we may not be able to attract the personnel we need. The loss of the services of senior management or key personnel could have a material and adverse effect on us, our business and results of operations. Failure to hire key personnel when needed, or on acceptable terms, would have a significant negative effect on our business.

As we undertake exploration of our mineral claims, we will be subject to compliance with government regulation that may increase the anticipated cost of our exploration program.

There are several governmental regulations that materially restrict mineral exploration. We are required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with these laws. If we enter the production phase, the cost of complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater because the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control all aspects of the production program if the project continues to that stage. Examples of regulatory requirements include:

13

There is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program. We will also have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation for all exploration work undertaken. Both reclamation and environmental remediation refer to putting disturbed ground back as close to its original state as possible. Other potential pollution or damage must be cleaned-up and renewed along standard guidelines outlined in the usual permits. Reclamation is the process of bringing the land back to its natural state after completion of exploration activities. Environmental remediation refers to the physical activity of taking steps to remediate, or remedy, any environmental damage caused. The amount of these costs is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration program that will be undertaken beyond completion of the recommended work program. If remediation costs exceed our cash reserves we may be unable to complete our exploration program and have to abandon our operations.

If we become subject to increased environmental laws and regulation, our operating expenses may increase.

Our development and production operations are regulated by both US Federal and Nevada state environmental laws that relate to the protection of air and water quality, hazardous waste management and mine reclamation. These regulations will impose operating costs on us. If the regulatory environment for our operations changes in a manner that increases costs of compliance and reclamation, then our operating expenses would increase with the result that our financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

If we complete a financing through the sale of additional shares of our common stock, shareholders will experience dilution.

The most likely source of future financing presently available to us is through the issuance of our common stock. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing shareholders. The only other anticipated alternative for the financing of further exploration would be the offering by us of an interest in our properties to be earned by another party or parties carrying out further exploration thereof, which is not presently contemplated.

Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be more limited in their ability to sell their stock.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system.

Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the meaning of the rules, the rules apply to us and to our securities. The rules may further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any market that might develop for them. As long as the quotation price of our common stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:

14

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.
