CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS
We are a natural resource exploration and production company currently engaged
in the exploration, acquisition and development of properties in the United
States and within North America. During fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, our
primary activity and focus was our option to acquire a 90% interest in the Cade
mineral claim located in Lillooet Mining Division of British Columbia (the "Cade
Mineral Claim"). On December 31, 2007, our interest in the Cade Mineral Claim
lapsed due to our inability to incur minimum exploration expenditures on the
Cade Mineral Claim as required as discussed below.
As of the date of this Annual Report, we are currently reviewing other potential
acquisitions in the natural resource sector. We are in the process of completing
a due diligence investigation of various opportunities in the oil and gas
sector, as well as the base and precious metals sectors. We anticipate that over
the next twelve months, we will incur approximately $15,000 pertaining to the
review of various potential asset acquisitions as well as an additional $15,000
on administrative fees. The administrative fees to be incurred will relate to
compliance with reporting obligations.
In the event we locate a viable prospect and consummate acquisition of an
interest, we will conduct mineral property exploration. Mineral property
exploration is typically conducted in phases. Each subsequent phase of
exploration work is recommended by a geologist based on the results from the
most recent phase of exploration. Once we have completed each phase of
exploration, we will make a decision as to whether or not we proceed with each
successive phase based upon the analysis of the results of that program. Our
management will make this decision based upon the recommendations of the
independent geologist who oversees the program and records the results.
Even if we complete our proposed exploration programs on a prospective mineral
property claim and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will
have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies
before we will know if we have a commercially viable mineral deposit. There can
be no assurance that an economic mineral deposit would exist on the claim until
appropriate exploration work is completed. See "New Lease Acquisition and
Development."
CADE MINERAL CLAIM
On January 4, 2005, we entered into a mineral property option agreement (the
"Option") with Ms. Gillian Wells ("Wells") of Tsawassen, British Columbia,
whereby Wells granted us the option to acquire a 90% undivided right title and
interest in the Cade Mineral Claim located in the Lillooet Mining Division of
British Columbia, Canada. In order to exercise the Option, we were required to:
(i) pay $2,500 to Wells by March 31, 2005, which was paid; (ii) incur $5,000 in
exploration expenditures on the Cade Mineral Claim by December 31, 2005, which
were expended; and (iii) incur an additional $10,000 in expenditures on the Cade
Mineral Claim by December 31, 2007. We were unable to meet the last expenditure
requirement. Therefore, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
Option, Ms. Wells provided us with written notice of the default. We failed to
cure the default during the notice period.

NEW LEASE ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT
If mineral quality and quantities are not deemed sufficient from work to be
conducted on our potential leases during the first six months of operation,
additional land acquisitions will be assessed and obtained subject to adequate
capital resources being available and further sources of debt and equity being
obtained. The following outlines anticipated activities pursuant to this
business option.
* Site preparation for entry including roadway upgrade and operations
site, design, review, and finalize testing procedures, arrange
equipment required.
* Run test tools,
* If mineral content not deemed conducive to production, target further
leases for exploration potential and obtain further funding to acquire
new development targets.
We will require additional funding to implement our proposed future business
activities. See "Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis and Plan of
Operation."
We do not expect to purchase any significant equipment or increase significantly
the number of our employees during the next twelve months. Our current business
strategy is to obtain resources under contract where possible because management
believes that this strategy, at its current level of development, provides the
best services available in the circumstances, leads to lower overall costs, and
provides the best flexibility for our business operations.
COMPETITION
We operate in a highly competitive industry, competing with other mining and
exploration mineral companies, and institutional and individual investors, which
are actively seeking metal and mineral based exploration properties throughout
the world together with the equipment, labour and materials required to exploit
such properties. Many of our competitors have financial resources, staff and
facilities substantially greater than ours. The principal area of competition is
encountered in the financial ability to cost effectively acquire prime metal and
minerals exploration prospects and then exploit such prospects. Competition for
the acquisition of metal and minerals exploration properties is intense, with
many properties available in a competitive bidding process in which we may lack
technological information or expertise available to other bidders. Therefore, we
may not be successful in acquiring and developing profitable properties in the
face of this competition. No assurance can be given that a sufficient number of
suitable metal and minerals exploration properties will be available for
acquisition and development.
MINERALS EXPLORATION REGULATION
Our minerals exploration activities are, or will be, subject to extensive
foreign laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, production,
exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection
and remediation of the environment, protection of endangered and protected
species, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. Minerals exploration
is also subject to risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the
environment and disposal of waste products occurring as a result of mineral
exploration and production. Compliance with these laws and regulations may
impose substantial costs on us and will subject us to significant potential
5
liabilities. Changes in these regulations could require us to expend significant
resources to comply with new laws or regulations or changes to current
requirements and could have a material adverse effect on our business
operations.
Exploration and production activities are subject to certain environmental
regulations which may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of our
operations. In general, our exploration and production activities are subject to
certain foreign regulations, and may be subject to Canadian or U.S. federal,
state and local laws and regulations, relating to environmental quality and
pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these
activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuance of a given
operation. Compliance with these laws and regulations does not appear to have a
future material effect on our operations or financial condition to date.
Specifically, we may be subject to legislation regarding emissions into the
environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes.
However, such laws and regulations, whether foreign or local, are frequently
changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally,
environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any
greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry and our current
operations have not expanded to a point where either compliance or cost of
compliance with environmental regulation is a significant issue for us. Costs
have not been incurred to date with respect to compliance with environmental
laws but such costs may be expected to increase with an increase in scale and
scope of exploration.
Minerals exploration operations are subject to comprehensive regulation which
may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those
anticipated causing an adverse effect on our business operations. Minerals
exploration operations are subject to foreign, federal, state, and local laws
relating to the protection of the environment, including laws regulating removal
of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the
environment. Minerals exploration operations are also subject to federal, state,
and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety
standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment.
Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to
be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received.
Environmental standards imposed by federal, state, or local authorities may be
changed and any such changes may have material adverse effects on our
activities. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or
require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse
effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or
other environmental damages which we may elect not to insure against due to
prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. As of the date of this Annual
Report, we have not been required to spend any material amount on compliance
with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so in future
and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
No research and development expenditures have been incurred, either on our
account or sponsored by customers, during the past three years.
6
EMPLOYEES
We do not employ any person on a full-time or on a part-time basis. Richard
Novis is our President and Chief Executive Officer. He is primarily responsible
for all our day-to-day operations. Other services are provided by outsourcing,
consultant, and special purpose contracts.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks.
You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition
to other information in evaluating our company and its business before
purchasing shares of our common stock. Our business, operating results and
financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks.
The risks described below are all of the material risks that we are currently
aware of that are facing our company. Additional risks not presently known to us
may also impair our business operations. You could lose all or part of your
investment due to any of these risks.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
WE WILL NEED TO RAISE ADDITIONAL FINANCING TO COMPLETE FURTHER EXPLORATION.
We will require significant additional financing in order to commence any future
exploration activities and assess the commercial viability of those precious
metal and mineral properties. Furthermore, if the costs of our planned
exploration programs are greater than anticipated, we may have to seek
additional funds through public or private share offerings or arrangements with
corporate partners. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our
efforts to raise these require funds, or on terms satisfactory to us. The
continued exploration of future mineral properties and the development of our
business will depend upon our ability to establish the commercial viability of
precious metal and mineral properties and to ultimately develop cash flow from
operations and reach profitable operations. We currently are in the exploration
stage and we have no revenue from operations and we are experiencing significant
negative cash flow. Accordingly, the only other sources of funds presently
available to us are through the sale of equity. We presently believe that debt
financing will not be an alternative to us as all of our properties when
acquired will be in the exploration stage. Alternatively, we may finance our
business by offering an interest in any of our mineral properties to be earned
by another party or parties carrying out further exploration and development
thereof or to obtain project or operating financing from financial institutions,
neither of which is presently intended. If we are unable to obtain this
additional financing, we will not be able to continue our exploration activities
and our assessment of the commercial viability of precious metal and mineral
properties. Further, if we are able to establish that development of our
precious metal and mineral properties is commercially viable, our inability to
raise additional financing at this stage would result in our inability to place
our mineral properties into production and recover our investment. We may not
discover commercially exploitable quantities of precious metals or minerals on
our properties that would enable us to enter into commercial production, and
achieve revenues and recover the money we spend on exploration.
Future properties will in all probability not contain reserves in accordance
with the definitions adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
there is no assurance that any exploration programs that we will establish will
contain reserves. Those properties would be in the exploration stage as opposed
7
to the development stage and would have no known body of economic
mineralization. The known mineralization at these projects would have yet been
determined, and may never be determined to be economic. We plan to conduct
further exploration activities on precious metal and mineral properties, which
future exploration may include the completion of feasibility studies necessary
to evaluate whether a commercial mineable mineral exists on any of our
properties. There is a substantial risk that these exploration activities will
not result in discoveries of commercially recoverable quantities of minerals.
Any determination that our future properties contain commercially recoverable
quantities of minerals may not be reached until such time that final
comprehensive feasibility studies have been concluded that establish that a
potential mine is likely to be economic. There is a substantial risk that any
preliminary or final feasibility studies carried out by us will not result in a
positive determination that our mineral properties can be commercially
developed.
OUR EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES ON MINERAL PROPERTIES MAY NOT BE COMMERCIALLY
SUCCESSFUL, WHICH COULD LEAD US TO ABANDON OUR PLANS TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY AND
OUR INVESTMENTS IN EXPLORATION.
Our long-term success depends on our ability to establish commercially
recoverable quantities of ore on our mineral properties that can then be
developed into commercially viable mining operations. Mineral exploration is
highly speculative in nature, involves many risks and is frequently
non-productive. These risks include unusual or unexpected geologic formations,
and the inability to obtain suitable or adequate machinery, equipment or labor.
The success of mineral exploration is determined in part by the following
factors:
* identification of potential mineralization based on superficial
analysis;
* availability of government-granted exploration permits;
* the quality of management and geological and technical expertise; and
* the capital available for exploration.
Substantial expenditures are required to establish proven and probable reserves
through drilling and analysis, to develop processes to extract minerals, and to
develop the mining and processing facilities and infrastructure at any chosen
site. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number
of factors, which include, without limitation, the particular attributes of the
deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; metal prices,
which fluctuate widely; and government regulations, including, without
limitation, regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land
use, importing and exporting of minerals and environmental protection. We may
invest significant capital and resources in exploration activities and abandon
such investments if it is unable to identify commercially exploitable mineral
reserves. The decision to abandon a project may reduce the trading price of our
common stock and impair our ability to raise future financing. We cannot provide
any assurance to investors that we will discover or acquire any mineralized
material in sufficient quantities on any of our properties to justify commercial
operations. Further, we will not be able to recover the funds that we spend on
exploration if we are not able to establish commercially recoverable quantities
of precious metals or minerals on our properties.
OUR BUSINESS IS DIFFICULT TO EVALUATE BECAUSE WE HAVE A LIMITED OPERATING
HISTORY.
8
In considering whether to invest in our common stock, you should consider that
our inception was November 17, 2004 and, as a result, there is only limited
historical financial and operating information available on which to base your
evaluation of our performance. In addition, we forfeited our only primary
minerals exploration prospect with limited experience in early stage exploration
efforts.
WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCES WE WILL BE
PROFITABLE IN THE FUTURE.
We have a history of operating losses, expect to continue to incur losses, and
may never be profitable, and we must be considered to be in the exploration
stage. Further, we have been dependent on sales of our equity securities and
debt financing to meet our cash requirements. We have incurred losses totaling
approximately $39,830 from November 17, 2004 (inception) to March 31, 2008. As
of March 31, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of $39,830. Further, we do not
expect positive cash flow from operations in the near term. There is no
assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. In
particular, additional capital may be required in the event that: (i) the costs
to acquire additional mineral exploration claims are more than we currently
anticipate; (ii) exploration and or future potential mining costs for claims
increase beyond our expectations; or (iii) we encounter greater costs associated
with general and administrative expenses or offering costs.
FUTURE PARTICIPATION IN AN INCREASED NUMBER OF MINERALS EXPLORATION PROSPECTS
WILL REQUIRE SUBSTANTIAL CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.
The uncertainty and factors described throughout this section may impede our
ability to economically discover, acquire, develop and/or exploit mineral
prospects. As a result, we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability
or positive cash flows from operating activities in the future.
The financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 have been
prepared "assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern," which
contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and
commitments in the ordinary course of business. Our ability to continue as a
going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund our operations
and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient additional capital or
eventually have positive cash flow from operations to address all of our cash
flow needs. If we are not able to find alternative sources of cash or generate
positive cash flow from operations, our business and shareholders will be
materially and adversely affected. See "Item 6. Management's Discussion and
Analysis or Plan of Operation - Going Concern."
WE WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN THE FUTURE.
Based upon our historical losses from operations, we will require additional
funding in the future. If we cannot obtain capital through financings or
otherwise, our ability to execute our exploration programs will be greatly
limited. Our current plans require us to make capital expenditures for the
exploration of our minerals exploration properties. Historically, we have funded
our operations through the issuance of equity and short-term debt financing
9
arrangements. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on favorable
terms, if at all. Our future cash flows and the availability of financing will
be subject to a number of variables, including potential production and the
market prices of certain minerals. Further, debt financing could lead to a
diversion of cash flow to satisfy debt-servicing obligations and create
restrictions on business operations. If we are unable to raise additional funds,
it would have a material adverse effect upon our operations.
AS PART OF OUR GROWTH STRATEGY, WE INTEND TO ACQUIRE PRECIOUS METALS AND
MINERALS EXPLORATION PROPERTIES.
Such acquisitions may pose substantial risks to our business, financial
condition, and results of operations. In pursuing acquisitions, we will compete
with other companies, many of which have greater financial and other resources
to acquire attractive properties. Even if we are successful in acquiring
properties, some of the properties may not produce positive results of
exploration, or we may not complete exploration of such prospects within
specified time periods may cause the forfeiture of the lease in that prospect.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully integrate
acquired properties, which could result in substantial costs and delays or other
operational, technical, or financial problems. Further, acquisitions could
disrupt ongoing business operations. If any of these events occur, it would have
a material adverse effect upon our operations and results from operations.
WE ARE RELATIVELY A NEW ENTRANT INTO THE PRECIOUS METALS AND MINERALS
EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRY WITHOUT PROFITABLE OPERATING HISTORY.
Since inception, our activities have been limited to organizational efforts,
obtaining working capital and attempting to acquire and develop a very limited
number of properties. As a result, there is limited information regarding
production or revenue generation. As a result, our future revenues may be
limited. The business of minerals exploration and development is subject to many
risks and if gold or other precious metals or other minerals are found in
economic production quantities, the potential profitability of future possible
mining ventures depends upon factors beyond our control. The potential
profitability of mining mineral properties if economic quantities of minerals
are found is dependent upon many factors and risks beyond our control,
including, but not limited to: (i) unanticipated ground and water conditions and
adverse claims to water rights; (ii) geological problems; (iii) metallurgical
and other processing problems; (iv) the occurrence of unusual weather or
operating conditions and other force majeure events; (v) lower than expected
grades of minerals; (vi) accidents; (vii) delays in the receipt of or failure to
receive necessary government permits; (viii) delays in transportation; (ix)
labor disputes; (x) government permit restrictions and regulation restrictions;
(xi) unavailability of materials and equipment; and (xii) the failure of
equipment or processes to operate in accordance with specifications or
expectations.
THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT AND, IF APPLICABLE, MINING
COULD CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE, DELAYS IN MINING,
MONETARY LOSSES AND POSSIBLE LEGAL LIABILITY.
We are not currently engaged in mining operations because we are in the
exploration phase and have not yet any proved minerals reserves. We do not
presently carry property and liability insurance. Cost effective insurance
10
contains exclusions and limitations on coverage and may be unavailable in some
circumstances.
THE MINERAL EXPLORATION AND MINING INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND THERE IS
NO ASSURANCE THAT WE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN ACQUIRING THE LEASES.
The mineral exploration and mining industry is intensely competitive, and we
compete with other companies that have greater resources. Many of these
companies not only explore for and produce certain minerals, but also market
certain minerals and other products on a regional, national or worldwide basis.
These companies may be able to pay more for productive mineral properties and
exploratory prospects or define, evaluate, bid for and purchase a greater number
of properties and prospects than our financial or human resources permit. In
addition, these companies may have a greater ability to continue exploration
activities during periods of low mineral market prices. Our larger competitors
may be able to absorb the burden of present and future foreign, federal, state,
local and other laws and regulations more easily than we can, which would
adversely affect our competitive position. Our ability to acquire additional
properties and to discover productive prospects in the future will be dependent
upon our ability to evaluate and select suitable properties and to consummate
transactions in a highly competitive environment. In addition, because we have
fewer financial and human resources than many companies in our industry, we may
be at a disadvantage in bidding for exploratory prospects and producing mineral
properties.
THE MARKETABILITY OF NATURAL RESOURCES WILL BE AFFECTED BY NUMEROUS FACTORS
BEYOND OUR CONTROL WHICH MAY RESULT IN US NOT RECEIVING AN ADEQUATE RETURN ON
INVESTED CAPITAL TO BE PROFITABLE OR VIABLE.
The marketability of natural resources which may be acquired or discovered by us
will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include
macroeconomic factors, market fluctuations in commodity pricing and demand, the
proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment,
governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the
importing and exporting of certain minerals and environmental protection
regulations. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted,
but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate
return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.
MINERAL MINING OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO COMPREHENSIVE REGULATION, WHICH MAY
CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL DELAYS OR REQUIRE CAPITAL OUTLAYS IN EXCESS OF THOSE
ANTICIPATED, CAUSING AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
If economic quantities of certain minerals are found on any lease owned by us in
sufficient quantities to warrant mining operations, such mining operations are
subject to foreign, federal, state, and local laws relating to the protection of
the environment, including laws regulating removal of natural resources from the
ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Mineral mining
operations are also subject to foreign, federal, state, and local laws and
regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the
design and use of mining methods and equipment. Various permits from government
bodies are required for mining operations to be conducted; no assurance can be
11
given that such permits will be received. Environmental standards imposed by
federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes
may have material adverse effects on our activities. Moreover, compliance with
such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of
those anticipated, thus resulting in an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we
may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which
we may elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other
reasons. To date we have not been required to spend material amounts on
compliance with environmental regulations. However, we may be required to do so
in future and this may affect our ability to expand or maintain our operations.
MINERALS EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT AND MINING ACTIVITIES ARE SUBJECT TO
CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS, WHICH MAY PREVENT OR DELAY THE COMMENCEMENT
OR CONTINUANCE OF OUR OPERATIONS.
Minerals exploration and development and future potential uranium mining
operations are or will be subject to stringent federal, state, provincial, and
local laws and regulations relating to improving or maintaining environmental
quality. Our operations are also subject to many environmental protection laws.
Environmental laws often require parties to pay for remedial action or to pay
damages regardless of fault. Environmental laws also often impose liability with
respect to divested or terminated operations, even if the operations were
terminated or divested of many years ago.
Future potential mineral mining operations and current exploration activities
are or will be subject to extensive laws and regulations governing prospecting,
development, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health,
waste disposal, protection and remediation of the environment, protection of
endangered and protected species, mine safety, toxic substances and other
matters. Mineral mining is also subject to risks and liabilities associated with
pollution of the environment and disposal of waste products occurring as a
result of mineral exploration and production. Compliance with these laws and
regulations will impose substantial costs on us and will subject us to
significant potential liabilities.
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES AND COMPLIANCE MAY INCREASE WITH
AN INCREASE IN FUTURE SCALE AND SCOPE OF OPERATIONS.
We believe that our operations currently comply, in all material respects, with
all applicable environmental regulations. However, we are not fully insured at
the current date against possible environmental risks.
ANY CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT REGULATION/ADMINISTRATIVE PRACTICES MAY HAVE A NEGATIVE
IMPACT ON OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE AND OUR PROFITABILITY.
The laws, regulations, policies or current administrative practices of any
government body, organization or regulatory agency may be changed, applied or
interpreted in a manner which will fundamentally alter our ability to carry on
business. The actions, policies or regulations, or changes thereto, of any
government body or regulatory agency, or other special interest groups, may have
a detrimental effect on us. Any or all of these situations may have a negative
impact on our ability to operate and/or our profitably.
12
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO RETAIN KEY EMPLOYEES OR CONSULTANTS OR RECRUIT ADDITIONAL
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Our extremely limited personnel means that we would be required to spend
significant sums of money to locate and train new employees in the event any of
our employees resign or terminate their employment with us for any reason. Due
to our limited operating history and financial resources, we are entirely
dependent on the continued service of Richard Novis, our President/Chief
Executive Officer and sole director. Further, we do not have key man life
insurance on this individual. We may not have the financial resources to hire a
replacement if our officer was to die. The loss of service of this employee
could therefore significantly and adversely affect our operations.
OUR OFFICER AND DIRECTOR MAY BE SUBJECT TO CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.
Our officer and director serves only part time and is subject to conflicts of
interest. He devotes part of his working time to other business endeavors,
including consulting relationships with other corporate entities, and has
responsibilities to these other entities. Such conflicts include deciding how
much time to devote to our affairs, as well as what business opportunities
should be presented to us. Because of these relationships, our officer and
director may be subject to conflicts of interest.
NEVADA LAW AND OUR ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION MAY PROTECT OUR DIRECTORS FROM
CERTAIN TYPES OF LAWSUITS.
Nevada law provides that our officers and directors will not be liable to us or
our stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as
officers and directors. Our Bylaws permit us broad indemnification powers to all
persons against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the
fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have
the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our
officers and directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other
circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require us to use our limited
assets to defend our officers and directors against claims, including claims
arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
When our shares commence trading, sales of a substantial number of shares of our
common stock into the public market by certain stockholders may result in
significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock and could affect
your ability to realize the current trading price of our common stock.
SALES OF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK IN THE PUBLIC MARKET
BY CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS COULD CAUSE A REDUCTION IN THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR
COMMON STOCK.
As of the date of this Annual Report, we have 5,540,000 shares of common stock
issued and outstanding. Of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of
common stock, certain stockholders are able to resell certain shares of our
common stock pursuant to a SB-2 registration statement declared effective on
November 18, 2005. As a result of this registration statement, an aggregate of
13
2,540,000 shares our common stock were issued and are available for immediate
resale which could have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. See
"Item 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS."
As of the date of this Annual Report, there are no outstanding shares of our
common stock that are restricted securities as that term is defined in Rule 144
under the Securities Act. In the event we issue shares of our common stock in
private placement offerings or settlement of debt, those shares as issued will
be deemed "restricted". Although the Securities Act and Rule 144 place certain
prohibitions on the sale of restricted securities, restricted securities may be
sold into the public market under certain conditions.
Any significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock as the
selling stockholders sell their shares of our common stock could encourage short
sales by the selling stockholders or others. Any such short sales could place
further downward pressure on the price of our common stock.
THE TRADING PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD HAS BEEN AND MAY
CONTINUE TO FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY AND STOCKHOLDERS MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY
RESELLING THEIR SHARES.
When our shares of common stock commence trading on the OTC Bulletin Board, the
trading price may fluctuate significantly. In addition to volatility associated
with Bulletin Board securities in general, the value of your investment could
decline due to the impact of any of the following factors upon the market price
of our common stock: (i) disappointing results from our discovery or development
efforts; (ii) failure to meet our revenue or profit goals or operating budget;
(iii) decline in demand for our common stock; (iv) downward revisions in
securities analysts' estimates or changes in general market conditions; (v)
technological innovations by competitors or in competing technologies; (vi) lack
of funding generated for operations; (vii) investor perception of our industry
or our prospects; and (viii) general economic trends.
In addition, stock markets have experienced price and volume fluctuations and
the market prices of securities have been highly volatile. These fluctuations
are often unrelated to operating performance and may adversely affect the market
price of our common stock. As a result, investors may be unable to sell their
shares at a fair price and you may lose all or part of your investment.
ADDITIONAL ISSUANCES OF EQUITY SECURITIES MAY RESULT IN DILUTION TO OUR EXISTING
STOCKHOLDERS.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of
common stock. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional
shares of our capital stock to provide additional financing in the future and
the issuance of any such shares may result in a reduction of the book value or
market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we do issue any
such additional shares, such issuance also will cause a reduction in the
proportionate ownership and voting power of all other stockholders. As a result
of such dilution, if you acquire shares of our common stock, your proportionate
ownership interest and voting power could be decreased. Further, any such
issuances could result in a change of control.
OUR COMMON STOCK IS CLASSIFIED AS A "PENNY STOCK" UNDER SEC RULES WHICH LIMITS
THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK.
14
Because our stock is not traded on a stock exchange or on the NASDAQ National
Market or the NASDAQ Small Cap Market, and because the market price of the
common stock has fluctuated and may trade at times at less than $5 per share,
the common stock may be classified as a "penny stock." SEC Rule 15g-9 under the
Exchange Act imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers
that recommend the purchase or sale of penny stocks to persons other than those
who qualify as an "established customer" or an "accredited investor." This
includes the requirement that a broker-dealer must make a determination that
investments in penny stocks are suitable for the customer and must make special
disclosures to the customers concerning the risk of penny stocks. Many
broker-dealers decline to participate in penny stock transactions because of the
extra requirements imposed on penny stock transactions. Application of the penny
stock rules to our common stock reduces the market liquidity of our shares,
which in turn affects the ability of holders of our common stock to resell the
shares they purchase, and they may not be able to resell at prices at or above
the prices they paid.
A DECLINE IN THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK COULD AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO RAISE
FURTHER WORKING CAPITAL AND ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR OPERATIONS.
A decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the
liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise additional
capital for our operations. Since our operations to date have been principally
financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our
common stock could have an adverse effect upon our liquidity and our continued
operations. A reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future
would have a material adverse effect upon our business plan and operations,
including our ability to continue our current operations. If our stock price
declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from
operations sufficient to meet our obligations.
OUR DIRECTOR/OFFICER IS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES WITH THE RESULT THAT IT MAY BE
DIFFICULT FOR INVESTORS TO ENFORCE WITHIN THE UNITED STATES ANY JUDGMENTS
OBTAINED AGAINST OUR DIRECTOR/OFFICER.
Our sole director and officer is a national and resident of Canada, and all or a
substantial portion of such person's assets are located outside the United
States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of
process on our directors or officers, or enforce within the United States or
Canada any judgments obtained against us or our officer or director, including
judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws
of the United States or any state thereof. Consequently, you may be effectively
prevented from pursuing remedies under U.S. federal securities laws against
them. In addition, investors may not be able to commence an action in a Canadian
court predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of
the United States.
ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES
We lease our principal office space located at 470 Granville Street, Suite 1120,

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
The summarized financial data set forth in the table below is derived from and
should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements for the
period from inception (November 17, 2004) to year ended March 31, 2008,
including the notes to those financial statements which are included in this
Annual Report. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our
audited financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this
Annual Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that
reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ
materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that
could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to
those discussed below and elsewhere in this Annual Report, particularly in the
section entitled "Risk Factors". Our audited financial statements are stated in
United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
We are an exploration stage company and have not generated any revenue to date.
The following table sets forth selected financial information for the periods
indicated.
RESULTS OF OPERATION
We have incurred losses to date. Our financial statements have been prepared
assuming that we will continue as a going concern and, accordingly, do not
include adjustments relating to the recoverability and realization of assets and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to
continue in operation.
17
We expect we will require additional capital to meet our long term operating
requirements. We expect to raise additional capital through, among other things,
the sale of equity or debt securities.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2008 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2007.
Our net loss for November 17, 2004 (inception) to fiscal year ended March 31,
2008 was ($39,830) compared to a net loss of ($26,037) for November 17, 2004
(inception) to fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
We did not generate any revenues during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2008 or
2007. We do not anticipate earning revenues unless we enter into commercial
production on a prospective mineral claim. We can provide no assurance that we
will discover economic mineralization on any property, or if such minerals are
discovered, that we will enter into commercial production.
During fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, we incurred operating expenses in the
amount of $39.830 as compared to operating expenses incurred during fiscal year
ended March 31, 2007 in the amount of $26,037 (an increase of $13,793. These
operating expenses consisted of: (i) mineral property option payments of $3,500
(2007: $3,500); (ii) mineral property exploration expenses of $5,000 (2007:
$5,000); (iii) general and administrative expenses of $2,068 (2007: $1930); (iv)
professional fees of $28,660 (2007: $15,187); and bank fees of $602 (2007:
$420).
The operating expenses incurred during fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 compared
to fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 increased primarily due to the increase in
professional fees based upon the increased scope of our business activities.
General and administrative expenses generally include corporate overhead,
financial and administrative contracted services, marketing, and consulting
costs.
Our net loss during the period November 17, 2004 (inception) to fiscal year
ended March 31, 2008 was ($39,830) or ($0.0072) per share compared to a net loss
of ($26,037) or ($0.0047) per share during the period November 17, 2004
(inception) to fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. The weighted average number of
shares outstanding was 5,540,000 for both periods November 17, 2004 (inception)
to fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 2008
As at fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, our current assets were $270 and our
current liabilities were $8,100, which resulted in a working capital deficiency
of ($7,830). As at fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, current assets were
comprised of $270 in cash. As at fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, current
liabilities were comprised of: (i) $6,500 in loan from related party; and (ii)
$1,600 in accounts payable.
As at fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, our total assets were $270 comprised of
current assets. The decrease in total assets during fiscal year ended March 31,
2008 from fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 was primarily due to the decrease in
cash.
18
As at fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, our total liabilities were $8,100
comprised entirely of current liabilities. The increase in liabilities during
fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 from fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 was
primarily due to the increase in loan from related party. See " - Material
Commitments."
Stockholders' deficit decreased from $5,963 for fiscal year ended March 31, 2007
to ($7,830) for fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.
CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES
We have not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For the
period from inception (November 17, 2004) to March 31, 2008, net cash flows used
in operating activities was ($39,830), consisting primarily of a net loss of
($39,830). An adjustment of $1,600 was made to cash flows relating to accounts
payable.
CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES
We have financed our operations primarily from either advancements or the
issuance of equity and debt instruments. For the period from inception (November
17, 2004) to March 31, 2008, net cash flows from financing activities was
$38,500 consisting of $32,000 in issuance of common stock and $6,500 in loan
from related party.
We expect that working capital requirements will continue to be funded through a
combination of our existing funds and further issuances of securities. Our
working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the growth of
our business.
PLAN OF OPERATION AND FUNDING
Existing working capital, further advances and debt instruments, and anticipated
cash flow are expected to be adequate to fund our operations over the next six
months. We have no lines of credit or other bank financing arrangements.
Generally, we have financed operations to date through the proceeds of the
private placement of equity and debt instruments. In connection with our
business plan, management anticipates additional increases in operating expenses
and capital expenditures relating to: (i) acquisition of interests in
properties; (ii) possible exploration and development initiatives on future
properties; and (iii) future property acquisitions. We intend to finance these
expenses with further issuances of securities, and debt issuances. Thereafter,
we expect we will need to raise additional capital and generate revenues to meet
long-term operating requirements. Additional issuances of equity or convertible
debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further,
such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our
common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms,
or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on
acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new
business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially
restrict our business operations.
19
MATERIAL COMMITMENTS
During inception (November 17, 2004) through March 31, 2008, our
officer/director, Richard Novis, loaned us an aggregate of $6,500. This amount,
due and owing to Mr. Novis, is unsecured and interest free with no specified
terms of repayment.
PURCHASE OF SIGNIFICANT EQUIPMENT
We do not intend to purchase any significant equipment during the next twelve
months.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of the date of this Annual Report, we do not have any 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 are material to investors.
GOING CONCERN
The independent auditors' report accompanying our March 31, 2008 and March 31,
2007 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph expressing
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The
financial statements have been prepared "assuming that we will continue as a
going concern," which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy
our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Northern Explorations, Ltd.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Northern Explorations, Ltd.
(the exploration stage "Company") as of March 31, 2008 and 2007 and the related
statements of operation, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the
years then ended and for the period from November 17, 2004 (inception) to March
31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. 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. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes 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 Northern Explorations, Ltd. as
of March 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operation and its cash flows
for the years then ended and the period of November 17, 2004 (inception) to
March 31, 2008 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will
continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements,
the Company's losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NORTHERN EXPLORATIONS, LTD.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes To Financial Statements
March 31, 2008
(Stated in U.S. Dollars)
NOTE 1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS
The Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 17, 2004, and
its year-end is March 31st. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company as
defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 7. The
Company has acquired a mineral property located in the Nicola Mining Division,
British Columbia, Canada, and has not yet determined whether this property
contains reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of
property expenditures will be dependent upon the discovery of economically
recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying
property, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to satisfy
the expenditure requirements under the property agreement and upon future
profitable production or proceeds for the sale thereof.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The
Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in an accumulated deficit
of $39,830 since inception and further losses are anticipated in the development
of its business raising substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Its ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon the ability of the Company to generate profitable operations in
the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and
repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come
due. Management has plans to seek additional capital through a private placement
and public offering of its common stock. 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.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have, in management's opinion, been properly prepared
within reasonable limits of materiality and within the framework of the
significant accounting policies summarized below:
A) MINERAL PROPERTY COSTS
The Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation on November
17, 2004 and has not yet realized any revenues from its planned operations. It
is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties.
Mineral property acquisition and exploration costs are charged to operations as
incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be
economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves,
the costs incurred to develop such property, are capitalized. Such costs will be
amortized using the units-of-production method over the estimated life of the
probable reserve.

(Stated in U.S. Dollars)
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
B) USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. In accordance with FASB 16 all
adjustments are normal and recurring.
C) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying value of cash, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities
approximates their fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments. The Company's operations are in Canada and virtually all of its
assets and liabilities are giving rise to significant exposure to market risks
from changes in foreign currency rates. The Company's financial risk is the risk
that arises from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of
volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative
instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.
D) ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are charged to
operations or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an
existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to
current or future revenue generation, are charged to operations. Liabilities are
recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable,
and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these
accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the
Company's commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.
E) INCOME TAXES
The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes
in accordance with SFAS No. 109 - "Accounting for Income Taxes". This standard
requires the use of an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and
reporting on income taxes. If it is more likely than not that some portion or
all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is
recognized.

The Company reports basic loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128 -
"Earnings Per Share". Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted
average number of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per
share is computed using the weighted average number of common and potentially
dilutive common stock outstanding during the period. As the Company generated
net losses in the period presented, the basic and diluted loss per share is the
same, as any exercise of options or warrants would be anti-dilutive.
G) 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, 2008, the Company has no items that represent a
comprehensive loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive
loss in the financial statements.
H) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the balance sheet and statement of cash flows, the Company
considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at
the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
I) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective,
accounting standards, if currently adopted, could have a material effect on the
accompanying financial statements.
NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company generated a net loss of
$39,830 during the period from November 17, 2004 (inception) to March 31, 2008.
This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue
as a going concern. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent
on its ability to meet its obligations, to obtain additional financing as may be
required and ultimately to attain profitability. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

ITEM 11. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND
RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
As of the date of this Annual Report, the following table sets forth certain
information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock by each
stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common
stock and by each of our current directors and executive officers. Each person
has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock,
except as otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct
interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. As of the
date of this Annual Report, there are 5,540,000 shares of common stock issued
and outstanding.

Richard Novis 3,000,000 54.15%
470 Granville Street, Suite 1120
Vancouver, British Columbia
All executive officers and directors 3,000,000 54.15%
as a group (1 person)
----------
(1) Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who,
directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding,
relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes
the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment
power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of
shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than
one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power
to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be
beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the
shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date
as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage
ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to
include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only
such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the
percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does
not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with
respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding as of
the date of this Annual Report. As of the date of this Annual Report, there
are 5,540,000 shares issued and outstanding.
