PROSPECTUS
MONTE RESOURCES INC.
7,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
The selling stockholder named in this prospectus, namely Edwin Morrow, our sole
executive officer and director, is offering 7,000,000 shares of common stock of
Monte Resources Inc. at a par value $0.001 per common share. Mr. Morrow
currently holds 100% of our common stock. The Company will not receive any of
the proceeds from the sale of these shares. The shares were acquired by the
selling stockholder directly from us in a private offering of our common stock
that was exempt from registration under the securities laws. The selling
stockholder has set an offering price for these securities of par value $0.001
per common share and an offering period of 28 days from the date of this
prospectus. This is a fixed price for the duration of the offering. The Selling
stockholder is an underwriter, within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the
Securities Act. Any broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the
common stock or interests therein are also be deemed to be an "underwriter"
within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts,
commissions, concessions or profit earned on any resale of the shares may be
underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. The Selling
stockholder, who is an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the
Securities Act, is subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners" for more
information about the selling stockholder. Please note that this registration
statement covers the sale of 45% of the Company's outstanding securities. All of
the outstanding shares are currently held by the selling shareholder, Mr.
Morrow, the Company's sole director, officer, stockholder, and promoter, and
these shares were obtained after our date of inception of April 19, 2010.
Our common stock is presently not traded on any market or securities exchange.

SUMMARY INFORMATION
The following summary highlights some of the information in this prospectus. It
may not contain all of the information that is important to you. To understand
this offering fully, it is important that you read the entire prospectus
carefully, including the "RISK FACTORS" and our financial statements and the
notes accompanying the financial statements that appear elsewhere in this
prospectus. Unless otherwise specifically noted, the terms "Company," "we," "us"
or "our" refers to Monte Resources Inc.
CORPORATE BACKGROUND AND INFORMATION
MONTE RESOURCES INC.
Monte Resources Inc., was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on
April 19, 2010 to explore mineral properties in North America.
Monte Resources Inc. is engaged in the exploration for molybdenite and other
minerals. The Company has acquired sixteen (16) claim units located about three
(3) kilometers southwest of the town of Westwold, British Columbia, Canada. The
total claim area is approximately 617 hectares. We refer to these mining claims
as the Monte Property.
We are an exploration stage company and we have not realized any revenues to
date. We do not have sufficient capital to enable us to commence and complete
our exploration program. We will require financing in order to conduct the
exploration program described in the section entitled, "Business of the Issuer."
Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion, raising substantial doubt
about Monte's financial prospects and the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern. We require an estimated total of $334,925 to implement the three
phases of our business plan. We currently have not implemented our business
plan.
We are not a "blank check company," as we do not intend to participate in a
reverse acquisition or merger transaction. Securities laws define a "blank check
company" as a pre-exploration stage company that has no specific business plan
or purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or
acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or
person.
With its current assets, the Company can remain operational through 2011 if it
does not complete Phase 1 of its program and only pays the government fees to
keep the claims valid. However, the Company plans to raise the capital necessary
to fund our business through a private placement and public offering of our
common stock. The Company intends to work directly with private placees once
this registration statement is declared effective. The Company anticipates that
they will have either a private placement or additional funding from its founder
by Summer 2011 in order to conducts its operations.
Our offices are located at 1002 Ermine Court, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96158 USA.
Our telephone number is 530-721-1584.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the
other information contained in this registration statement, prospective
purchasers of the securities offered hereby should consider carefully the
following factors in evaluating the Company and its business.
The securities we are offering through this registration statement are
speculative by nature and involve an extremely high degree of risk and should be
purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment. We
also caution prospective investors that the following risk factors could cause
our actual future operating results to differ materially from those expressed in
any forward looking statements, oral, written, made by or on behalf of us. In
assessing these risks, we suggest that you also refer to other information
contained in this registration statement, including our financial statements and
related notes.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY AND OUR INDUSTRY
THE COMPANY HAS NEVER EARNED A PROFIT AND WE ARE CURRENTLY OPERATING UNDER A NET
LOSS. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL EVER EARN A PROFIT.
From our inception on April 19, 2010 to November 30, 2010 the Company has not
generated any revenue. Rather, the Company incurred a net loss of $9,641 from
inception through November 30, 2010. The Company does not currently have any
revenue producing operations. The Company is not currently operating profitably,
and it should be anticipated that it will operate at a loss at least until such
time when the production stage is achieved, if production is, in fact, ever
achieved.
IF WE DO NOT OBTAIN ADDITIONAL FINANCING, OUR BUSINESS WILL FAIL.
We will need to obtain additional financing in order to complete our business
plan. We currently do not have any operations and we have no income. We are an
exploration stage company and we have not realized any revenues to date. We do
not have sufficient capital to enable us to commence and complete our
exploration program and based on our current operating plan, we do not expect to
generate revenue that is sufficient to cover our expenses for at least the next
twelve months. We will require financing in order to conduct the exploration
program described in the section entitled, "Business of the Issuer." We need to
raise $29,925 to complete the first phase of our exploration program and
$334,935 to complete all three phases of our program. We do not have any
arrangements for financing and we may not be able to find such financing if
required. We will need to obtain additional financing to operate our business
for the next twelve months, and if we do not our business will fail. We will
raise the capital necessary to fund our business through a Prospectus and public
offering of our common stock. Obtaining additional financing would be subject to
a number of factors, including investor acceptance of mineral claims and
investor sentiment. These factors may adversely affect the timing, amount,
terms, or conditions of any financing that we may obtain or make any additional
financing unavailable to us.
OUR COMPANY WAS RECENTLY FORMED, AND WE HAVE NOT PROVEN THAT WE CAN GENERATE A
PROFIT. IF WE FAIL TO GENERATE INCOME AND ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY AN INVESTMENT IN
OUR SECURITIES MAY BE WORTHLESS.
We have no operating history and have not proved we can operate successfully. We
face all of the risks inherent in a new business. If we fail, your investment in
our common stock will become worthless. From inception of April 19, 2010 to the
audited period ended on November 30, 2010, we incurred a net loss of $9,641 and
6
did not earn any revenue. The Company does not currently have any revenue
producing operations.
WE HAVE NO OPERATING HISTORY. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE
SUCCESSFUL IN OUR MINERAL EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES.
The Company has no history of operations. As a result of our brief operating
history, there can be no assurance that that we will be successful exploring for
molybdenite or other minerals. Our future performance will depend upon our
management and its ability to locate and negotiate additional exploration
opportunities in which we can participate. There can be no assurance that we
will be successful in these efforts. Our inability to locate additional
opportunities, to hire additional management and other personnel, or to enhance
our management systems, could have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations. There can be no assurance that the Company's operations will be
profitable.
WE ARE CONTROLLED BY MR. EDWIN G. MORROW, OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND
DIRECTOR, AND, AS SUCH, YOU MAY HAVE NO EFFECTIVE VOICE IN OUR MANAGEMENT.
Upon the completion of this offering, Mr. Edwin G. Morrow, our sole Executive
Officer Director, will beneficially own approximately 52.5% of our issued and
outstanding common stock. Mr. Morrow will exercise control over all matters
requiring stockholder approval, including the possible election of additional
directors and approval of significant corporate transactions. If you purchase
shares of our common stock, you may have no effective voice in our management.
WE ARE SOLELY GOVERNED BY MR. EDWIN G. MORROW, OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND
DIRECTOR, AND, AS SUCH, THERE MAY BE SIGNIFICANT RISK TO THE COMPANY OF A
CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
Mr. Edwin G. Morrow, our sole Executive Officer and Director, makes decisions
such as the approval of related party transactions, the compensation of
Executive Officers, and the oversight of the accounting function. There will be
no segregation of executive duties and there may not be effective disclosure and
accounting controls to comply with applicable laws and regulations, which could
result in fines, penalties and assessments against us. Accordingly, the inherent
controls that arise from the segregation of executive duties may not prevail. In
addition, Mr. Morrow will exercise full control over all matters that typically
require the approval of a Board of Directors. Mr. Morrow's actions are not
subject to the review and approval of a Board of Directors and, as such, there
may be significant risk to the Company of a conflict of interest.
Our sole Executive Officer and Director exercises control over all matters
requiring stockholder approval including the election of Directors and the
approval of significant corporate transactions. Insofar as Mr. Edwin G. Morrow
makes all decisions as to which projects the Company undertakes, there is a risk
of a conflict of interest arising between the duties of Mr. Morrow in his role
as our sole Executive Officer and his own personal financial and business
interests in other business ventures distinct and separate from the interests of
the Company. His personal interests may not, during the ordinary course of
business, coincide with the interests of the stockholders and, in the absence of
the effective segregation of such duties, there is a risk of a conflict of
interest. We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance
measures. As such, stockholders have limited protections against the
transactions implemented by Mr. Morrow, conflicts of interest and similar
matters.
We have not adopted corporate governance measures such as an audit or other
independent committees as we presently only have one independent director.
7
Stockholders should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance
measures in formulating their investment decisions.
BECAUSE EDWIN G. MORROW, OUR SOLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, HAS OTHER
BUSINESS INTERESTS, HE MAY NOT BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DEVOTE A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT
OF TIME TO OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS, WHICH MAY CAUSE OUR BUSINESS TO FAIL.
It is possible that the demands on Mr. Edwin G. Morrow, our sole Executive
Officer and Director, from other obligations could increase with the result that
he would no longer be able to devote sufficient time to the management of our
business. Mr. Morrow will devote fewer than 12-15 hours per month or 3-4 per
week to the affairs of the Company. In addition, Mr. Morrow may not possess
sufficient time to manage our business if the demands of managing our business
increased substantially.
THE IMPRECISION OF MINERAL DEPOSIT ESTIMATES MAY PROVE ANY RESOURCE CALCULATIONS
THAT WE MAKE TO BE UNRELIABLE.
Mineral deposit estimates and related databases are expressions of judgment
based on knowledge, mining experience, and analysis of drilling results and
industry practices. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly
change when new information becomes available. By their nature, mineral deposit
estimates are imprecise and depend upon statistical inferences, which may
ultimately prove unreliable. Mineral deposit estimates included here, if any,
have not been adjusted in consideration of these risks and, therefore, no
assurances can be given that any mineral deposit estimate will ultimately be
reclassified as reserves. If the Company's exploration program locates a mineral
deposit, there can be no assurances that any of such deposits will ever be
classified as reserves.
MR. EDWIN MORROW HAS NOT PHYSICALLY INSPECTED THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AND DOES NOT
HAVE CURRENT PLANS TO VISIT THE PROPERTY.
Mr. Morrow has not visited the property, but has relied on property reports and
other consultants who are knowledgeable with the property. With respect to the
further exploration of the property, Mr. Morrow does not have any current plans
to visit the property but instead intends to hire various professionals and
consultants to further explore the property as this work is required. As the
Company will rely on third parties, the costs of exploration may be higher than
if the Company and its employees engaged in the work themselves. By not visiting
the property directly, Mr. Morrow will be unable to personally verify the
information and results that are presented by third parties.
WE ARE SENSITIVE TO FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRICE OF MOLYBDENITE, WHICH IS BEYOND
OUR CONTROL. THE PRICE OF MOLYBDENITE IS VOLATILE AND PRICE CHANGES ARE BEYOND
OUR CONTROL.
The price of molybdenite and other minerals can fluctuate. The prices of
molybdenite and other minerals have been and will continue to be affected by
numerous factors beyond the Company's control. Factors that affect the price of
molybdenite include the demand from consumers for products that use molybdenite,
economic conditions, over supply from secondary sources and costs of production.
Price volatility and downward price pressure, which can lead to lower prices,
could have a material adverse effect on the costs or the viability of our
projects.
MINERAL EXPLORATION AND PROSPECTING IS A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND SPECULATIVE
BUSINESS AND WE MAY NOT BE SUCCESSFUL IN SEEKING AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITIES.
8
The process of mineral exploration and prospecting is a highly competitive and
speculative business. Individuals are not subject to onerous accreditation and
licensing requirements prior to beginning mineral exploration and prospecting
activities. As such, the company, in seeking available opportunities, will
compete with a numerous individuals and companies, including established,
multi-national companies that have more experience and resources than the
Company. The exact number of active competitors at any one time is heavily
dependant on current economic conditions; however, statistics provided by the
AEBC (The Association for Mineral Exploration, British Columbia), state that
approximately 1000 mining companies operate in BC. Each one of these companies
can be considered to be in competition with our company for mineral resources in
British Columbia. Moreover, the Government of Canada at,
http://mmsd1.mms.nrcan.gc.ca/mmsd/exploration/default_e.asp, reports that in
2006, CDN $140.6 billion was spent in mineral exploration activities in British
Columbia.
Because we may not have the financial and managerial resources to compete with
other companies, we may not be successful in our efforts to acquire projects of
value, which may, ultimately, become productive. However, while we compete with
other exploration companies for the rights to explore other claims, there is no
competition for the exploration or removal of mineral from our claims from other
companies, as we have no agreements or obligations that limit our right to
explore or remove minerals from our claims.
COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND PERMITTING COULD HAVE A
MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE COSTS OR THE VIABILITY OF OUR PROJECTS. THE
HISTORICAL TREND TOWARD STRICTER ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION MAY CONTINUE, AND, AS
SUCH, REPRESENTS AN UNKNOWN FACTOR IN OUR PLANNING PROCESSES.
All mining is regulated by the government agencies at the Federal and Provincial
levels of government in Canada. Compliance with such regulation has a material
effect on the economics of our operations and the timing of project development.
Our primary regulatory costs have been related to obtaining licenses and permits
from government agencies before the commencement of mining activities. An
environmental impact study that must be obtained on each property in order to
obtain governmental approval to mine on the properties is also a part of the
overall operating costs of a mining company.
The possibility of more stringent regulations exists in the areas of worker
health and safety, the dispositions of wastes, the decommissioning and
reclamation of mining and milling sites and other environmental matters, each of
which could have an adverse material effect on the costs or the viability of a
particular project. Compliance with environmental considerations and permitting
could have a material adverse effect on the costs or the viability of our
projects.
MINING AND EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES ARE SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE REGULATION BY FEDERAL
AND PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS IN CANADA. ANY FUTURE CHANGES IN GOVERNMENTS,
REGULATIONS AND POLICIES, COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS FOR A PARTICULAR PERIOD AND ITS LONG-TERM BUSINESS PROSPECTS.
Mining and exploration activities are subject to extensive regulation by
government. Such regulation relates to production, development, exploration,
exports, taxes and royalties, labor standards, occupational health, waste
disposal, protection and remediation of the environment, mine and mill
reclamation, mine and mill safety, toxic substances and other matters.
Compliance with such laws and regulations has increased the costs of exploring,
drilling, developing, constructing, operating mines and other facilities.
Furthermore, future changes in governments, regulations and policies, could
9
adversely affect the Company's results of operations in a particular period and
its long-term business prospects.
The development of mines and related facilities is contingent upon governmental
approvals, which are complex and time consuming to obtain and which, depending
upon the location of the project, involve various governmental agencies. The
duration and success of such approvals are subject to many variables outside the
Company's control.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND BUSINESS MODEL
THE COMPANY HAS NOT PAID ANY CASH DIVIDENDS ON ITS SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND
DOES NOT ANTICIPATE PAYING ANY SUCH DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
ACCORDINGLY, INVESTORS WILL ONLY SEE A RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENTS IF THE VALUE
OF THE SHARES APPRECIATES.
Payment of future dividends, if any, will depend on earnings and capital
requirements of the Company, the Company's debt facilities and other factors
considered appropriate by the Company's Board of Directors. To date, the Company
has not paid any cash dividends on the Company's Common Stock and does not
anticipate paying any such dividends in the foreseeable future. Accordingly,
investors will only see a return on their investments if the value of the
Company's shares appreciates.
IF WE DO NOT CONDUCT MINERAL EXPLORATION ON OUR MINERAL CLAIMS AND KEEP THE
CLAIMS IN GOOD STANDING, THEN OUR RIGHT TO THE MINERAL CLAIMS WILL LAPSE AND WE
WILL LOSE EVERYTHING THAT WE HAVE INVESTED AND EXPENDED TOWARDS THESE CLAIMS.
We must complete mineral exploration work on our mineral claims and keep the
claims in good standing. If we do not fulfill our work commitment requirements
on our claims or pay the fee to keep the claims in good standing, then our right
to the claims will lapse and we will lose all interest that we have in these
mineral claims. We are obligated to pay $2,468.65 in lieu of work to the British
Columbia Provincial government on an annual basis to keep our claims in good
standing.
BECAUSE OF OUR LIMITED RESOURCES AND THE SPECULATIVE NATURE OF OUR BUSINESS,
THERE IS A SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT AS TO OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE AS A GOING CONCERN.
The report of our independent auditors, on our audited financial statements for
the audited period ended November 30, 2010 indicates that there are a number of
factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. Our continued operations are dependent on our ability to obtain
financing and upon our ability to achieve future profitable operations from the
development of our mineral properties. If we are not able to continue as a going
concern, it is likely investors will lose their investment.
RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING AND OUR STOCK
WE WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, IN ADDITION TO THE FINANCING AS
REPORTED IN THIS REGISTRATION STATEMENT. IN SO DOING, WE WILL FURTHER DILUTE THE
TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT
THIS ADDITIONAL CAPITAL WILL BE AVAILABLE OR ACCESSIBLE BY US.
Monte Resources Inc. will need to raise additional capital, in addition to the
financing as reported in this registration statement, by issuing additional
shares of common stock and will, thereby, increase the number of common shares
10
outstanding. There can be no assurance that this additional capital will be
available to meet these continuing exploration and development costs or, if the
capital is available, that it will be available on terms acceptable to the
Company. If the Company is unable to obtain financing in the amounts and on
terms deemed acceptable, the business and future success of the Company will
almost certainly be adversely affected. If we are able to raise additional
capital, we cannot be assured that it will be on terms that enhance the value of
our common shares.
IF WE COMPLETE A FINANCING THROUGH THE SALE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF OUR COMMON
STOCK IN THE FUTURE, THEN OUR STOCKHOLDERS WILL EXPERIENCE DILUTION.
The most likely source of future financing presently available to us is through
the sale of shares of our common stock. Any sale of common stock will result in
dilution of equity ownership to stockholders. This means that if we sell shares
of our common stock, more shares will be outstanding and each stockholder will
own a smaller percentage of the shares then outstanding. To raise additional
capital we may have to issue additional shares, which may substantially dilute
the interests of stockholders. Alternatively, we may have to borrow large sums,
and assume debt obligations that require us to make substantial interest and
capital payments.
THERE IS NO MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK, WHICH LIMITS OUR STOCKHOLDERS ABILITY
TO RESELL THEIR SHARES OR PLEDGE THEM AS COLLATERAL.
There is currently no public market for our shares, and we cannot assure you
that a market for our stock will develop. Consequently, investors may not be
able to use their shares for collateral or loans and may not be able to
liquidate at a suitable price in the event of an emergency. In addition,
investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the price they paid
for them or may not be able to sell their shares at all.
IF A PUBLIC MARKET FOR OUR STOCK IS DEVELOPED, FUTURE SALES OF SHARES COULD
NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
If a public market for our stock is developed, then sales of Common Stock in the
public market could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. There
are at present 14,750,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.
OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. TRADING OF OUR STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE SEC'S
PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS AND THE NASD'S SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH MAY
LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.
The Company's common shares may be deemed to be "penny stock" as that term is
defined in Regulation Section "240.3a51-1" of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"). Penny stocks are stocks: (a) with a price of less than
U.S. $5.00 per share; (b) that are not traded on a "recognized" national
exchange; (c) whose prices are not quoted on the NASDAQ automated quotation
system (NASDAQ - where listed stocks must still meet requirement (a) above); or
(d) in issuers with net tangible assets of less than U.S. $2,000,000 (if the
issuer has been in continuous operation for at least three years) or U.S.
$5,000,000 (if in continuous operation for less than three years), or with
average revenues of less than U.S. $6,000,000 for the last three years.
Section "15(g)" of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, and Regulation Section "240.15g(c)2" of the SEC require broker dealers
dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document
disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated
11
written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny
stock for the investor's account. Potential investors in the Company's common
shares are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing
any common shares that are deemed to be "penny stock".
Moreover, Regulation Section "240.15g-9" of the SEC requires broker dealers in
penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such
stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires
the broker dealer to: (a) obtain from the investor information concerning his or
her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (b)
reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny
stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient
knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of
penny stock transactions; (c) provide the investor with a written statement
setting forth the basis on which the broker dealer made the determination in
(ii) above; and (d) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the
investor confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial
situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with
these requirements may make it more difficult for investors in the Company's
common shares to resell their common shares to third parties or to otherwise
dispose of them. Stockholders should be aware that, according to Securities and
Exchange Commission Release No. 34-29093, dated April 17, 1991, the market for
penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such
patterns include:
(i) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers
that are often related to the promoter or issuer
(ii) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and
sales and false and misleading press releases
(iii)boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and
unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons
(iv) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling
broker-dealers
(v) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers
after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting
inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses
Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the
penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the
behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market,
management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent
the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Monte Resources Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 19, 2010.
The Company was incorporated for the sole purpose of engaging in mineral
exploration. It has always maintained the same business plan from inception to
present. Since inception, the Company has not filed for bankruptcy, receivership
or similar proceeding; and there has not been any material reclassification,
merger, consolidation, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not
in the ordinary course of business.
Monte Resources Inc., which is also referred to herein as Monte or the Company,
is engaged in the exploration for molybdenite and other minerals The Company has
acquired a molybdenite prospect consisting of sixteen (16) claim units located
about three (3) kilometers southwest of the town of Westwold, British Columbia,
Canada. The total claim area is approximately 617 hectares. We refer to these
mining claims as the Monte Property.
The Company was incorporated for the purpose of exploring mineral claims in
North America. The short-term strategy of the Company is to explore and further
develop the Monte property and to explore its commercial viability. The
long-term strategy of the Company is to continue to acquire additional mineral
claims that complement its core business.
We are an exploration stage company and we cannot provide assurance to investors
that our mineral claims contain a commercially exploitable mineral deposit, or
reserve, until appropriate exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation
based on such work concludes economic feasibility.

TOTAL 617.329
Location and Access: The Monte Property is located approximately three
kilometers by road southwest of the town of Westwold, British Columbia. Westwold
is located on highway 97, approximately 48 kilometers from Kamloops. Access is
available by paved road from Westwold and thence over logging routes on the
property using a 4 WD vehicle. Several campsite locations with good water
supplies can be found on or near the property. Supplies and services are
available in Westwold, Kamloops and Vernon.
Topography: the Monte Property covers the southeast facing slope along the west
side of the Salmon River. The terrain is rugged. Elevations over the ground vary
between 800 and 1,500 meters above sea level. The known molybdenite showings are
located in the central sector of the claim at about the 850-875 meter elevation.
The climate is typical of the interior of BC, generally mild and dry overall
with some snowfall in the winter months. The summers are usually hot with
limited precipitation. Vegetation is a sparse growth of coniferous forest,
mostly consisting of pine.
REGIONAL AND LOCAL GEOLOGICAL SETTING
The claim group is underlain by Tertiary volcanic of the Kamloops group, a
portion of which have been eroded to expose a small window of older rocks. These
older rocks consist of Cache Creek sediments intruded by a small granitic stock.
A portion of the property dealt with in this report lies completely within the
area of the Cache Creek rocks.
The area is underlain by a sequence of fine grained cherty silt stones and
argillites in places converted to hornfels, and several bands of recrystallized
limestone which strike slightly east and west of north and dip moderately to the
west.
Portions of the limestone have been converted to skarn. The skarn is primarily
found in two zones which parallel the general altitude of the sediments. The
skarn varies from less than a foot to over 8 feet in thickness, pinching and
swelling over short distances. It is a greenish-brown rock made up predominantly
of diopside and garnet with lesser quartz, calcite and wollastonite.
The metasediments are cut by a number of irregular `dikes' of granitic rock
which varies from pegmatitic granite to granodiroite, and quartz diorites. These
`dikes" are considered to be apophyses of the small stock which outcrops
somewhat north of the map area.
18
It appears that the limy zones are more resistant to both amalgamations by the
intrusive, as well as present day erosion. This is exemplified by the limy
ridges extending into the intrusive stock, while topographically lower areas,
the less limy rock types, indicate the intrusive's facility in assimilating the
silty rocks, as these areas extend as empayments into these metasediments.
The limestone quarry, at the northeast corner of the Monte Property derived its
white rock from a north-south trending ridge of coarsely crystallized rock which
at its northern extremity contact with the granitic intrusive. The contact is
intensely altered to skarn.
The west side of the Monte Property shows a southerly leading road, which
follows a valley. A steep vertical western aspect of the white bluff appears to
be aligned with this valley. Drilling indicates that a well developed fault zone
contacts younger volcanic rocks (to the west) with older sediments underlying a
low lying ridge (to the east). This zone appears to underlie the valley, and
exhibits its attitude at the quarry wall. There is presence of a granitic
intrusive along the north portion of the Monte Property.
Molybdenite and lesser chalcopyrite are found irregularly distributed in the
skarn. The molybdenite occurs as clusters of coarse books and rosettes as well
as finely disseminated grains. Chalcopyrite is found as small disseminated
grains as well as larger blebs.
The mineralization is principally found in two narrow zones which are separated
by about 500 feet of barren sediments. The east zone is about 800 feet long and
has been explored by eight prospect pits and 30 to 40 foot incline near the
northeast corner of the Monte Property. The mineral bearing skarn varies from
about 6 feet to less than one food in width; however it is not mineralized over
the entire strike length.
The west zone is about 1,100 feet long and has been exposed by numerous pits,
two bulldozer trenches, an adit, and a 20-40 foot inclined shaft. The skarn
varies from about 6 inches to more than 8 feet and molybdenite and copper are
irregularly distributed there being many barren areas between the mineralized
lenses.
Both of these skarn lenses appear to die out to the south, although crystalline
limestone banks extend some distance beyond the limits of the skarn. To the
north, the skarn extends some distance beyond the Monte Property.
Minor amounts of molybdenum were found in two of the intrusive `dikes' near the
north boundary of the Monte Property. This is significant as it indicates that
the source of all molybdenum and copper mineralization was probably the
intrusive stock outcropping to the north of the Monte Property. Minor pyrite and
pyrrhotite were found in some of the intensely hornfels sediments.
A grab sample of garnet rich skarn and hornfels sediment from a rock dump in the
vicinity of the collars of D.D. Holes 80-2 and 80-3. The sample assayed as
follows:
Mineral Amount
------- ------
Gold 0.002 ounces/st
Silver 0.10 ounces/st
Copper 0.02%
Molybdenum 0.038%
19
The widespread occurrence, albeit low tenor, of molybdenite in the roof pendant,
garnet rich skarn zones and the observation that molybdenite was found in a
granitoid dyke suggest that the basement granitic intrusive are the source of
the molybdenum mineralization.
PREVIOUS WORK AND COST ESTIMATES OF EXPLORATION PROGRAMS
The present Monte Property claim area was originally discovered in the late
1890's. Since that time it has been known as the Kenallen property and has been
the subject of interest by several mining companies.
Following the discovery, test pitting, trenching and two small shafts have been
sunk on the two zones of molybdenite mineralization. John S. Stevenson gave a
detailed account of the showings in British Columbia Mines Bulletin No. 9 in
1939. Prior to this in 1925, the Mines Branch at Ottawa had examined this
showing and the description by V.L. Eardley-Wilmot is given in Bulletin 592.
J.A. Millican described the property in a report on the GUS and CHIP claims and
recommended a program of deep drilling.
In 1964, Northwest Ventures Ltd. Optioned what was then known as the BRENDA
group covering the Monte Property area. This company trenched the molybdenite
zones and drilled a total of about 300 meters diamond drilling in two holes.
Moly-Win Mines Ltd. Optioned the ground in 1966 which was then known as the WIN
group under the direction of DR. H.A Quin. Subsequently, Dresser Industries was
reported to have carried out geological, geochemical and magnetometer surveys
over the mineralized zones under the direction of James M. Dawson.
Agricultural limestone has been produced in limited quantities from a quarry at
the north end of the West Zone of the molybdenite mineralization in the area of
diamond drill holes 80-7 and 80-8. This work was reported done by the Kamloops
Marble Company.
John C. Turner did rock trenching over the west zone in the spring of 1978 and
James W. McLeod reported on the property in June 1978 with a recommendation for
a program of 1,200 meters of diamond drilling in shallow 100 meter holes.
Denar Mines Ltd. Optioned the Monte Property in 1979 and commenced a program of
diamond drilling. That year, two holes totaling 184 meters of diamond drilling
were completed. In the spring of 1980, Denar Mines drilled fourteen NQ core size
diamond drill holes totaling 1,155 meters for a total of 1,330 meters during the
period September 1979 through July 1980. The program in 1980 was directed by
G.E.A. von Rosen, P.Eng.
The following is a summary of the results of the 1980 program of diamond
drilling as reported by G.E.A. von Rosen, P.Eng., on pages 10 and 11 of his
report to Denar Mines Ltd., dated August 29,1980. The diamond drill hole numbers
referenced are as per Figure 5.
* Several holes were laid out, collared in the small linear valley to
the west, oriented easterly about 45 degrees, to intersect the dip of
the sediments.
* Results of ground magnetic survey indicated a buildup of magnetic
content of the area to the west of this valley. The EM 16 profiles
showed a strong conductivity "high" coinciding with the small valley.
For these reasons several holes were finally drilled as shown on
Section F-F.
* One hole was drilled farther south in Section G-G.
20
* One hole was drilled farther north of the main section (Section E-E)
to test the strong anomaly.
* However, a second, steep hole, from farther west was abandoned after
the results at Section F-F were obtained.
* Section D-D was drilled at the west to probe the area described by
Dawson as being interesting due to the occurrence of molybdenum in the
intrusive, and to the east to test the southern extension of the
interestingly mineralized east zone.
* Section C-C tested the down-dip continuation of the skarn near the
inclined adit.
* Section B-B shows one drill hole exploring the vicinity of the contact
of intrusive rock to the north, and limy sediments (forming glassy
skarn near the contact) to the south.
* Section A-A explores the fault continuation (valley) and intrusive
skarn relation to the north of the Monte Property.

The 1980 program of exploration consisted of geologizing the northern portion of
the map area to determine the location of the intrusive. It included the
measuring of ground EM signals over three east - west sections. This helped
determine the electrical conductivity of the underlying material and thereby the
finding conductivity correlation with the possible economically mineralized
horizons. 10 sites were selected which are suitable for drill testing the ore
making possibilities of the various skarn zones, as well as the intervening
horfelsed areas.
During the period of October 10 through October 25, 1981, a combined
magnetometer and VLF - Electromagnetic survey over the Monte Property was
completed by Geo-Teck Services Ltd., PO Box 172, Watson Lake, Yukon Territories,
Canada, under contract to Turnex Exploration Services Ltd. Suite 704-525 Seymour
Street, Vancouver, British Columbia.
21
The 710 magnetometer readings were taken at 50 meter intervals along east-west
lines spaced 100 meters apart. A total of 35.6 kilometers of chain and compass
line were traversed over the claim area. A north-south baseline was established
in the center of the claim area.
The range of magnetic response varied between 56,031 and 63,977 gammas. The
total magnetic relief was found to be 7,946 gammas.
The trend of the magnetic response over the claim is north - northwesterly.
In the central portion of the claim area an area of magnetically "Low" response
was found trending slightly to the north and is generally coincident with the
West zone of garnet rich skarn and molybdenite mineralization. The trend of the
skarn is sub-parallel to the magnetic response.
An area of Nicola volcanics to the southwest sector of the claim area has a
magnetically "High" response. The magnetic pattern for this area of the property
is typical of the Nicola volcanic environment.
710 VLF - electromagnetic conductor readings were taken at 50 meter intervals
along 35.6 kilometers of east-west chain and compass lines 100 meters apart.
A zone of apparent electromagnetic conductor zones was found trending northerly
through the central and east sectors of the property. The East and West zones of
skarn rich mineralization appear to be reflected in the electromagnetic
response.
The general rise in electromagnetic field strength towards the west coincides
somewhat with the westerly rise in topographic relief over the Monte Property
claim area.
The Monte Property claim is considered to be under-explored.
The presence of molybdenite in the granitoid intrusive rocks underlying the
property and the observation that the granitic intrusive in the Westwold area do
display an affinity form molybdenum suggests the Monte Property deserves a
thorough search potential mineral targets.
A proposed initial work program includes a geochemical soil survey for
molybdenum and copper is proposed as a first phase to testing the full potential
of the claim area for new mineral targets of merit. Any anomalous zones
resulting from the geochemical survey should be tested by drilling.
The second phase is proposed to test the granitic intrusive below the East and
West zones for molybdenite-bearing phases of the granite.
The property has been physically examined by Donald W. Tully, P.Eng., of Don
Tully Engineering Ltd.

COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATION
We will be required to conduct all mineral exploration activities in accordance
with government regulations. Such operations are subject to various laws
governing land use, the protection of the environment, production, exports,
taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances,
well safety and other matters. Unfavorable amendments to current laws,
regulations and permits governing operations and activities of resource
exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a
materially adverse impact and cause increases in capital expenditures which
could result in a cessation of operations.
EMPLOYEES
At present, we have no employees. We anticipate that we will be conducting most
of our business through agreements with consultants and third parties.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations
should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the
notes to those statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. In addition to
the historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion and
analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated
in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including
those set forth under "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Our business plan is to proceed with the exploration of the Monte Property to
determine whether there is any potential for copper, molybdenite or other metals
located on the properties that comprise the mineral claims. If the Company is
successful in raising adequate capital through private placements or debt
financing, the Company anticipates completing the first phase in Summer 2011 and
commencing the Second and Third phases in 2012. We have decided to proceed with
the exploration program recommended by the geological report. We anticipate that
the three phases of the recommended geological exploration program will cost
approximately $29,925, $75,000 and $230,000 respectively. Currently we have
$5,109 in cash and cannot commence exploration until sufficient funds have been
raised. The lack of cash has kept us from conducting any exploration work on the
property. If the Company is unsuccessful in raising the capital to commence its
exploration program, the Company will be required to pay a government fee of
$2,468.65 in order to keep the claims valid. The Company currently has enough
cash on hand to pay this fee.
We anticipate that we will incur the following expenses over the next twelve
months:
>> $2,468.65 to be paid to the British Columbia Provincial Government to
keep the claims valid;
>> $29,925 in connection with the completion of Phase 1 of our planned
geological work program;
>> $75,000 in connection with the completion of Phase 2 of our planned
geological work program;
>> $230,000 for Phase 3 of our planned geological work program; and
>> $65,000 for operating expenses, including professional legal and
accounting expenses associated with compliance with the periodic
reporting requirements after we become a reporting issuer under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but excluding expenses of the
offering.
If we determine not to proceed with further exploration of our mineral claims
due to a determination that the results of our initial geological program do not
warrant further exploration or due to an inability to finance further
exploration, we plan to pursue the acquisition of an interest in other mineral
claims. We anticipate that any future acquisition would involve the acquisition
of an option to earn an interest in a mineral claim as we anticipate that we
24
would not have sufficient cash to purchase a mineral claim of sufficient merit
to warrant exploration. This means that we might offer shares of our stock to
obtain an option on a property. Once we obtain an option, we would then pursue
finding the funds necessary to explore the mineral claim by one or more of the
following means: engaging in an offering of our stock; engaging in borrowing; or
locating a joint venture partner or partners.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We have not yet earned any revenues. We anticipate that we will not earn
revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production, if any,
of our mineral properties. We are presently in the pre-exploration stage of our
business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially
exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such resources
are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of our mineral
properties.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The company has current assets of $5,109 consisting only of cash as of November
30, 2010. The Company has incurred a net loss of $9,641 for the period from
April 19, 2010 (inception) to November 30, 2010. Income represents all of the
company's revenue less all its expenses in the period incurred. The Company has
no revenues as of November 30, 2010 and has incurred expenses of $9,641 since
inception. There are no current or long-term liabilities. The company issued to
the founder 14,750,000 common shares of stock for $14,750. As of November 30,
2010, there are Fourteen Million, seven hundred and fifty thousand (14,750,000)
shares issued and outstanding at a value of $0.001 per share. There are no
preferred shares authorized. The Company has no stock option plan, warrants or
other dilutive securities.
With its current assets, the Company can remain operational through 2011 if it
does not complete Phase 1 of its program and only pays the government fees to
keep the claims valid. However, the Company plans to raise the capital necessary
to fund our business through a private placement and public offering of our
common stock. The Company intends to work directly with private placees once
this registration statement is declared effective. The Company anticipates that
they will have either a private placement or additional funding from its founder
by Summer 2011 in order to conducts its operations.
Based on our current operating plan, we do not expect to generate revenue that
is sufficient to cover our expenses for at least the next twelve months. In
addition, we do not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents to execute our
operations for at least the next twelve months. We will need to obtain
additional financing to operate our business for the next twelve months. We will
raise the capital necessary to fund our business through a private placement and
public offering of our common stock. Additional financing, whether through
public or private equity or debt financing, arrangements with stockholders or
other sources to fund operations, may not be available, or if available, may be
on terms unacceptable to us. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity is
dependent on our ability to raise additional capital. If we issue additional
equity securities to raise funds, the ownership percentage of our existing
stockholders would be reduced. New investors may demand rights, preferences or
privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. Debt
incurred by us would be senior to equity in the ability of debt holders to make
claims on our assets. The terms of any debt issued could impose restrictions on
our operations. If adequate funds are not available to satisfy either short or
long-term capital requirements, our operations and liquidity could be materially
adversely affected and we could be forced to cease operations. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and
classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in
existence.

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
1. EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
The Company's Executive Officers are as follows:
Edwin G. Morrow Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President,
Secretary, Treasurer and Director (Principal Executive
Officer and Principal Accounting Officer)
BIOGRAPHY OF EDWIN G. MORROW
Mr. Edwin Morrow founded the Company on April 19, 2010, and has acted as its
sole officer and director since inception.
Mr. Morrow holds a Bachelor of Science in Geology from Mackay School of Mines,
University of Nevada, Reno, with post graduate study in finance and mineral
economics. Mr. Morrow has held positions of increasing responsibility in the
mining and minerals industry, and in addition he has significant experience in
real estate acquisition, planning, entitlement, permitting, and engineering and
construction management.
A registered Professional Geologist, Mr. Morrow is a member of the Society for
Mineral Exploration of the American Institute of Mining Engineers, has served on
the Board of Directors of the California Mining Association and as an Executive
Council Member of the Industry Advisory Board, University of Nevada, Reno,
Mackay School of Mines.
Mr. Morrow has worked as an employee or consultant for over 35 years in
exploration, development and production in the natural resources area in many
commodities. Mr. Morrow managed Laminco Resources Inc, (a TSE listed public
company) beginning in October of 1995 under a consulting agreement as President
and Chief Operating Officer. He was named Chief Executive Officer in September
of 1996. Laminco developed precious metals and copper resources in Canada, and
North and South America. Laminco Resources was merged with a Norwegian public
company in 2001, and he served as Chief operating officer and on the Board of
Directors of the merged company until December 2005.
Prior to joining Laminco, Mr. Morrow served from 1993 to late 1995 as Director
of Geology Services at Homestake Mining Company's flagship mine in Lead, South
Dakota. In this position he was responsible for the mine's geology, exploration
26
and grade control programs. The Homestake mine, in operation for over 120 years,
produced in excess of 500,000 ounces of gold annually from both underground and
open pit sources.
In 1981, Mr. Morrow was retained to initiate a new US based hard minerals
division for Asamera Oil Inc, a Canadian Oil producer. Starting with himself and
one assistant, until mid 1993 he held multiple positions with Asamera Minerals
U.S., Inc., including General Manager, Minerals, and General Manager of
Exploration and Acquisition. Asamera held interests in precious metals,
strategic and industrial minerals projects. Asamera was working globally and had
active projects in Canada, the USA, Mexico, Guatemala, West Germany, South East
Asia and Australia. Under Mr. Morrow's direction, Asamera discovered and placed
into production the Cannon Gold Mine in Wenatchee Washington, U.S.A. Asamera
also acquired and operated the Gooseberry Mine, an underground gold/silver
property near Reno, Nevada. Asamera was acquired by Gulf Canada in 1989, and the
mineral operation was wound up except the Cannon mine by mid 1993.
From 1974 to 1981, Mr. Morrow held several exploration and production management
positions with industrial mineral producers, Interpace refractories in
California and Federal Bentonite Corporation in South Dakota, Montana and
Wyoming. Mr. Morrow was responsible for multiple exploration and production
operations in diverse areas, producing a variety of commodities, including high
duty refractories, specialty clays for engineering and construction uses, glass
sand, limestone and coal.
From mid 1970 until early 1974, Mr. Morrow was an exploration geologist with
Utah Construction and Mining Co./Utah International Inc, working on uranium
projects in Wyoming and the pacific northwest. During this time the Big Eagle
Mine near Jeffrey City WY was discovered by the company.
Directly out of University, Mr Morrow served until mid 1970 years as Asst
Manager of Sonoma International's Altoona Mine, an underground mercury producer
in Northern California.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Monte Resources Inc.
(a Pre-Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Monte Resources Inc. (a
Pre-Exploration Stage Company) at November 30, 2010 and the related statements
of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for period April 19, 2010
(date of inception) to November 30, 2010. Monte Resources Inc.'s management is
responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to
have nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness for the company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Monte Resources Inc. (a
Pre-Exploration Stage Company) at November 30, 2010 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the period April 19, 2010 (date of inception)
to November 30, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company will need additional
working capital for its planned activity, which raises substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to
these matters are described in the notes to the financial statements. These
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on April 19,
2010 and as of November 30, 2010, has 75,000,000 authorized common shares with a
par value of $0.001.
The company was organized for the purpose of acquiring and exploring mineral
claims. The Company has a November 30 fiscal year and is in the pre-exploration
stage.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACCOUNTING METHODS
The Company recognizes income and expenses based on the accrual method of
accounting.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company has not yet adopted a policy regarding payment of dividends.
INCOME TAXES
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under
the liability method deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
the differences between financial reporting and the tax bases of the assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be
in effect, when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against
deferred tax assets is recorded, when it is more likely than not, that such tax
benefits will not be realized.
On November 30, 2010, the Company had a net operating loss available for
carry-forward of $9,641. The income tax benefit of approximately $3,300 from the
carry-forward has been fully offset by a valuation reserve because the use of
the future tax benefit is doubtful since the Company has been unable to project
a reliable estimated net income for the future. The net operating loss will
expire starting in 2030.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
FINANCIAL AND CONCENTRATIONS RISK
The Company has no financial and concentration risks.
BASIC AND DILUTED NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share amounts are computed based on the weighted
average number of shares actually outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per
share amounts are computed using the weighted average number of common shares
and common equivalent shares outstanding as if shares had been issued on the
exercise of any common share rights unless the exercise becomes anti-dilutive
and then only the basic per share amounts are shown in the report.
STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATIONS
Part of the transactions of the Company were completed in Canadian dollars and
have been translated to US dollars as incurred, at the exchange rate in effect
at the time, and therefore, no gain or loss from the translation is recognized.
The functional currency is considered to be US dollars.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue will be recognized on the sale and delivery of a product or the
completion of a service provided.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of the
assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and
the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates
that were assumed in preparing these financial statements.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amounts of financial instruments are considered by management to be
their estimated fair values due to their short term maturities.
MINERAL PROPERTY COSTS
Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized when incurred.
These costs are then assessed for impairment when factors are present to
indicate the carrying costs may not be recoverable. Mineral exploration costs
are expensed when incurred.
ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
At the report date environmental requirements related to the mineral claim
acquired are unknown and therefore any estimate of any future cost cannot be
made.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company does not expect that the adoption of other recent accounting
pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial statements.

3. INVESTMENT IN MINING PROPERTIES
The Company has entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire three mining
claims near Merritt, British Columbia, Canada for $8,500. The size of these
claims is approximately 617 hectares. The mining claims will expire unless
renewed in February 2011 and in April 2011. The mining regulations call for
annual fees of $4 per hectare for the first three years and $8 per hectare
thereafter. Payment can also be made by way of qualified work on the property.

5. SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Officer-directors have acquired 100% of the Company's outstanding common stock.
6. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company does not have sufficient
working capital for its planned activity, which raises substantial doubt about
its ability to continue as a going concern.
Continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon obtaining
additional working capital and the management of the Company has developed a
strategy, which it believes will accomplish this objective through short term
loans from an officer-director, and additional equity investment, which will
enable the Company to continue operations for the coming year.
