Lincoln Gold Corporation
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Financial Statements
March 31, 2005
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)

1.     
Exploration Stage Company
 
 
The Company was incorporated n the State of Nevada, USA, on February 17, 1999 under the name of Braden Technologies inc. Effective March 26, 2004, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Lincoln Gold Corp., a private company incorporated in the State of Nevada, USA, on September 25, 2003. On April 6, 2004, the Company and its subsidiary, Lincoln Gold Corp., merged to form Lincoln Gold Corporation.
 
 
The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No.7 “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of mineral resources. The Company has not presently determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.
 
 
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations and to determine the existence, discovery and successful exploitation of economically recoverable reserves in its resource properties, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at March 31, 2005, the Company has working capital of $362,587, and has accumulated losses of $1,987,649 since inception. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
2.     
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
 
a)     
Basis of Presentation
 
   
These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.
 
 
b)     
Use of Estimates
 
   
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 
c)     
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
 
   
The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share". SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive.
 
 
d)     
Comprehensive Loss
 
   
SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. As at March 31, 2005, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in the financial statements.

2.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
  e)     
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
   
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
 
  f)     
Property and equipment
 
   
Property and equipment consists of office equipment and fixtures, and computer software and is recorded at cost. Amortized is based on a straight line basis over the following periods: Office equipment and fixtures - five years; computer software – two years.
 
  g)     
Mineral Property Costs
 
   
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on September 25, 2003 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties. Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.
 
  h)     
Financial Instruments
 
   
The fair values of cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and due to related party approximate their carrying values due to the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
 
  i)     
Income Taxes
 
   
Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of its inception. Pursuant to SFAS No. 109 the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. Potential benefit of net operating losses have not been recognized in these financial statements because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.
 
  j)     
Foreign Currency Translation
 
   
The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Foreign currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars and are translated into United States dollars using exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured at each balance sheet date at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses are charged to operations. The Company has not, to the date of these financials statements, entered into derivative instruments to offset the impact of foreign currency fluctuations.
 
  k)     
Stock-Based Compensation
 
   
The Company has elected to apply the intrinsic value method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25). Under the intrinsic value method of accounting, compensation expense is recognized if the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options is less than the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation for employees is recognized on the straight-line basis over the vesting period of the individual options. Stock options granted to non-employees are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (SFAS 123), which establishes a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based awards, and recognizes compensation expense based on the fair value of the stock award or fair value of the goods and services received, whichever is more reliably measurable. Under the provisions of SFAS 123, companies that elect to account for stock-based awards in accordance with the provisions of APB 25 are required to disclose the pro forma net income (loss) that would have resulted from the use of the fair value based method under SFAS 123.

2.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
 
  l)     
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
   
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets - An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29”. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, “Accounting for Non-monetary Transactions”, is based on the principle that exchanges of non-monetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for non-monetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of non-monetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A non-monetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. The provisions of SFAS No. 153 are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Early application is permitted and companies must apply the standard prospectively. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
 
   
In December 2004, FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share Based Payment”. SFAS 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS 123R focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123R does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS 123 as originally issued and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”. SFAS 123R does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans”. SFAS 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award – the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). SFAS 123R requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The scope of SFAS 123R includes a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Public entities (other than those filing as small business issuers) will be required to apply SFAS 123R as of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Public entities that file as small business issuers will be required to apply SFAS 123R in the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. For non-public entities, SFAS 123R must be applied as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
 
  m)     
Interim Financial Statements
 
   
These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year or for any future period.
 
  n)     
Reclassifications
 
   
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Acquisition of Lincoln Gold Corp.
 
 
Effective March 26, 2004, Braden Technologies Inc. acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Lincoln Gold Corp. by issuing 24,000,000 common shares. Since the transaction resulted in the former shareholders of Lincoln Gold Corp. owning the majority of the issued shares of Braden Technologies Inc., the transaction, which is referred to as a “reverse acquisition”, has been treated for accounting purposes as an acquisition by Lincoln Gold Corp. of the net assets and liabilities of Braden Technologies Inc. Under this purchase method of accounting, the results of operations of Braden Technologies Inc. are included in these consolidated financial statements from March 26, 2004. The comparative figures for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are those of Lincoln Gold Corp.
 
 
Braden Technologies Inc. had a net asset deficiency at the acquisition date, therefore, the 24,000,000 common shares issued on acquisition were issued at an ascribed value of $Nil with the net asset deficiency of $102,302 charged to deficit. Lincoln Gold Corp. is deemed to be the purchaser for accounting purposes. Accordingly, its net assets are included in the consolidated balance sheet at their previously recorded amounts.
 
 
Effective March 26, 2004, Braden Technologies Inc. changed its name to Lincoln Gold Corporation.
 
 
The acquisition is summarized as follows:

  Current Assets  $ 68

OVERVIEW

We are engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in the State of Nevada. Our plan of operations for the next twelve months is to conduct exploration of our mineral properties in the State of Nevada.

We hold interests in five groups of mineral properties in Nevada, as described below:

Name of Property  Location 
Buffalo Valley Property  Humboldt, Lander & Pershing Counties, Nevada 
Hannah Property  Churchill County, Nevada 
JDS Property  Eureka County, Nevada 
Jenny Hill Property  Mineral & NYE Counties, Nevada 
Lincoln Flat Property  Lyon & Douglas Counties, Nevada 

Our plan of operations is to carry out exploration of our mineral properties. Our specific exploration plan for each of our mineral properties, together with information regarding the location and access, history of operations, present condition and geology of each of our properties, is presented in Item 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 under the heading “Description of Properties.” All of our exploration programs are early stage in nature in that their completion will not result in a determination that any of our properties contains commercially exploitable quantities of mineralization.

Our exploration programs will be directed by our management and will be supervised by Mr. Jeffrey Wilson, our vice-president of exploration. We will engage contractors to carry out our exploration programs under Mr. Wilson’s supervision. Contractors that we plan to engage include project geologists,

3


geochemical sampling crews and drilling companies, each according to the specific exploration program on each property. Our budgets for our exploration programs are set forth in Item 2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 under the heading “Description of Properties.” We plan to solicit bids from drilling companies prior to selecting any drilling company to complete a drilling program. We anticipate paying normal industry rates for reverse-circulation drilling.

We are an exploration stage company. All of our projects are at the exploration stage and there is no assurance that any of our mining properties contain a commercially viable ore body. We plan to undertake further exploration of our properties. We anticipate that we will require additional financing in order to pursue full exploration of these claims. We do not have sufficient financing to undertake full exploration of our mineral claims at present and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary financing.

There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our mineral properties. Further exploration beyond the scope of our planned exploration activities will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of mining of any of our properties is determined. There is no assurance that further exploration will result in a final evaluation that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our mineral properties.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

Our planned exploration expenditures for the next twelve months on our Nevada mineral properties, together with amounts due to maintain our interest in these claims, are summarized as follows:
                       Property  Planned Exploration
Program Expenditures
for the Next Twelve
Months:
Amount of Annual
Claim Maintenance
Fees due:
Amount of Property
Payment due:
Buffalo Valley Property  $240,000  $35,887  $20,000 
Hannah Property  $173,000  $3,075  $10,000 
JDS Property  $174,000  $12,362  Nil 
Jenny Hill Property  $381,000  $12,983  $25,000 
Lincoln Flat Property  $178,000  $3,575  $10,000 
Total:  $1,146,000  $70,772  $65,000 

In addition to our planned exploration expenditures, we anticipate spending approximately $50,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next twelve months, for a total anticipated expenditure of approximately $1,882,000 over the next twelve months. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the audit and legal work relating to our regulatory filings throughout the year, as well as transfer agent fees, annual mineral claim fees and general office expenses.

We had cash in the amount of $773,187 and working capital in the amount of $365,352 as of March 31, 2005. Based on our planned expenditures, we will require a minimum of approximately $1,520,000 to proceed with our plan of operations over the next twelve months and to pay our current liabilities. We anticipate that we will require additional financing in order to pursue our exploration programs beyond the preliminary exploration programs for our mineral properties that are outlined above.

During the twelve month period following the date of this quarterly report, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of operations. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional

4


phases of exploration as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund our exploration programs. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration of our mineral claims. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing to fund our exploration programs, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of our mineral claims following the completion of preliminary exploration. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to abandon our mineral claims and our plan of operations.

We may consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required funding to pursue drilling and advanced exploration of our mineral claims. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture partner for our mineral claims. Even if we determined to pursue a joint venture partner, there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund exploration of our mineral claims. If we entered into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in our mineral claims to the joint venture partner.

Our exploration plans will be continually evaluated and modified as exploration results become available. Modifications to our plans will be based on many factors, including: results of exploration, assessment of data, weather conditions, exploration costs, the price of gold and available capital. Further, the extent of our exploration programs that we undertake will be dependent upon the amount of financing available to us.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2005

Hannah Property

We commenced field exploration work on our Hannah property during the first quarter of 2005. The field work included obtaining soil samples as part of a soil sampling program. Results from 132 new soil samples were combined with results from 50 previous samples to define a conspicuous soil gold anomaly approximately 3000 feet in length and locally over 500 feet in width. We believe that this identified anomaly warrants more advanced exploration. As a result, we submitted a Notice of Intent to Operate and a Reclamation Bond for drilling 10 exploration holes to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (the “BLM”). The BLM approved our submission and we plan to complete a total of 5,000 feet of reverse-circulation drilling on the Hannah property. We plan to commence this drilling in early May using a track-mounted drill rig to minimize surface disturbance. Much of the drilling will be conducted on pre-existing dirt roads.

Lincoln Flat Property

We commenced field exploration work on the Lincoln Flat property during the first quarter of 2005 with the objective of further exploring a gold-hematite breccia target and a fracture-controlled gold porphyry target. Soil sampling and rock-chip sampling remain in progress over the two target areas. At least 160 new soil samples are planned. Partial results from 89 new soil samples have been received and combined with data from 52 previous soil samples. Preliminary analysis indicates the presence of several strong soil gold anomalies that we believe warrant more advanced exploration by drilling. Assays results for over 40 new rock-chip samples remain pending. Limited geologic mapping is planned to complete coverage on the claim block. We plan to submit a Notice of Intent to Operate and Reclamation Bond to the U.S. Bureau of Land Management with the objective of drill testing the two target areas in June 2005. We estimate that 12 reverse-circulation drill holes will be required for a total footage of 6,000 ft.

Jenny Hill Property

We staked eighty-five (85) new lode claims during the first quarter of 2005 in order to expand the Jenny Hill property to cover additional property that we believe is prospective for gold exploration. We now control 182 contiguous lode claims that cover approximately 3,640 acres. We initiated limited field exploration work during the quarter which consisted largely of reconnaissance sampling on the newly acquired ground and detail geologic mapping and sampling in the northern portion of the claim block. Results from 73 rock-chip/grab samples have been received. Nine (9) soil samples were collected and

5


assayed as part of a small orientation survey. We entered into a contract for the completion of 110 km of continuous reading GPS ground magnetometer survey. We plan to merge the data that we obtain from this survey with our existing data from our previous 63 km survey completed by the same contractor. The completion of this survey will provide us with magnetometer data covering the entire property for a total of 173 km of magnetometer data. The purpose of the survey is to further define significant structures related to gold mineralization and to indicate extensions of known gold skarn areas. We also plan to complete 144 gravity stations on the northern portion of the claim block. The gravity data will help define depth to bedrock and possible structures. The geophysical survey should commence in late April or early May. We plan to continue geologic mapping, rock-chip/grab sampling, and soil sampling on the gold skarn and Carlin-type target areas in an effort to further define gold targets worthy of drilling.

Buffalo Valley Property

During the first quarter of 2005, our exploration work on the Buffalo Valley property focused largely on acquisition and compilation of past geophysical and drilling data. We are presently seeking a joint venture partner to help finance further exploration of the property. We plan to continue to review existing data and may decide to conduct a mercury soil gas survey to further define targets for advanced exploration.

JDS Property

During the first quarter of 2005, we interpreted newly acquired geophysical data that corroborated the presence of a possible large intrusive body or dike swarm along the north-western perimeter of the claim block. We believe that this is a favourable geologic environment for gold mineralization. We are seeking a joint venture partner to help finance further exploration of the property. We anticipate that future work will likely include a mercury soil gas survey to further develop further targets for advanced exploration.

New Opportunities

During the first quarter, we reviewed new prospective gold exploration opportunities in Nevada, Utah, Arizona, California, and Mexico. We did not enter into any agreements to acquire any interests in the properties we reviewed. We plan to continue to review new opportunities on a case-by-case basis.

Hercules Reclamation

We completed reclamation activities of the Hercules property that we completed drilling activities on during 2004. All drill pads and drill roads constructed by us in 2004 were re-contoured to their original topography as per U.S. Bureau of Land Management (the “BLM”) requirements. Seeding with approved seed mix was also completed. It will likely require two growing seasons with good re-vegetation results before the entire Reclamation Bond that we posted with the BLM as security for our reclamation obligations will be refunded to us by the BLM.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We were incorporated as Braden Technologies Inc. Effective March 26, 2004, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Lincoln Gold Corp. by issuing 24,000,000 shares of our common stock. We subsequently merged with Lincoln Gold Corp. and changed our name to Lincoln Gold Corporation. Since the acquisition transaction resulted in the former shareholders of Lincoln Gold Corp. owning the majority of our issued and outstanding shares, the transaction, which is referred to as a “reverse take-over”, has been treated for accounting purposes as an acquisition by Lincoln Gold Corp. of the net assets and liabilities of Braden Technologies Inc. Under this purchase method of accounting, the results of operations of Braden Technologies Inc. are included in these consolidated financial statements from March 26, 2004. Our date of inception is the date of inception of Lincoln Gold Corp., being September 25, 2003 and our financial statements are presented with reference to the date of inception of Lincoln Gold Corp.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our net loss increased to $279,979 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from $19,542 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Our exploration costs increased substantially during the first quarter of 2005 compared to the first quarter of 2004 due to increased exploration activity on our mineral properties, including properties that we acquired subsequent to March 31, 2004. These exploration activities are detailed above under the heading “Exploration Activity During the First Quarter of 2005”. We anticipate that our expenses and net loss will continue to increase throughout the current fiscal year in comparison with our fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 as a result of our planned exploration activities and as a result of payments required to maintain our interests in our mineral properties. In addition, we anticipate continued increased professional fees as we comply with our obligations as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and as we plan to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933. We anticipate that we will not earn any revenues during the current fiscal year or in the foreseeable future as we are presently engaged in the exploration of our mineral properties.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash position at March 31, 2005 was $773,187 compared to $127,785 as of December 31, 2004. We had working capital of $365,352 as of March 31, 2005 compared to a working capital deficit of $127,414 as of December 31, 2004.

March 2005 Private Placement Financing

We completed a private placement financing in March 2005 comprised of the issue of an aggregate of 3,145,000 units (each a “Unit”) at a price of $0.30 per Unit to an aggregate of 53 purchasers for total net proceeds of $913,290. Each Unit is comprised of one share of common stock and one share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the investor to purchase one additional share of common stock for a two year period at a price of $0.40 per share during the period from the date of issue to the date that is one year from the date of issue and at a price of $0.50 per share during the period from the date that is one year from the date of issue to the date that is two years from the date of issue. By execution of the subscription agreements, we have agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 in order to register the resale by the investors of the shares and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

Plan of Operations

We estimate that our total expenditures over the next twelve months will be approximately $1,882,000, as outlined above under the heading “Plan of Operations”. We anticipate that we will require a minimum of approximately $1,520,000 in additional financing to proceed with our plan of operations over the next twelve months and to pay our current liabilities. In addition, we anticipate that we will require additional financing in order to pursue our exploration programs beyond the preliminary exploration programs for our mineral properties that are outlined above.

If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our exploration activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources that are available to us. Specifically, we anticipate that we would defer drilling programs pending our obtaining additional financing. Given our plan to scale back our operations if we do not achieve additional financing, we anticipate that our current cash and working capital will be sufficient to enable us to sustain our operations and our interests in our mineral properties for the next twelve months.

Outstanding Convertible Note

We arranged for a $200,000 convertible note during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. This convertible note is convertible into shares of our common stock at a price of $0.04 per share. If the convertible note was converted, we would be obligated to issue an additional 5,000,000 shares of our common stock. The note accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The principal is repayable on January 28, 2006 and interest is payable annually.

7


Going Concern

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Future Financings

We will require additional financing in order to proceed with the exploration of our mineral properties. We plan to complete private placement sales of our common stock in order to raise the funds necessary to pursue our plan of operations and to fund our working capital deficit. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. We currently do not have any arrangements in place for the completion of any private placement financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any private placement financings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Mineral Property Acquisition Payments and Exploration Costs

We are in the exploration stage and we expense all costs related to the acquisition and exploration of mineral claims in which we have secured exploration rights prior to establishment of proven and probable reserves. To date, we have not established the commercial feasibility of any of our exploration prospects, therefore, all costs are being expensed.
