PART
I





ITEM
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS





BUSINESS
DEVELOPMENT





Zoro
Mining Cop. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 20,
2004 under the name “Rochdale Mining Corp”. Effective March 19, 2007, we merged
with a wholly-owned subsidiary, Zoro Mining Corp., pursuant to Articles of
merger filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. The merger was in the form of a
parent/subsidiary merger with Rochdale Mining Corp. as the surviving
corporation. Upon completion of the merger, our corporate name was changed to
“Zoro Mining Corp.” and our Articles of Incorporation were amended to reflect
this name change. As of the date of this Annual Report, we are engaged in the
acquisition and exploration of mineral properties located in South America and
Mexico.  We currently have interests in an aggregate of approximately
27,294 net acres located in Chile, approximately 4,940 net acres in Peru, and a further
6,822 gross acres located in Mexico, targeting gold, copper and
platinum.  After the effective date of our initial registration
statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (November 1, 2007),
we commenced trading on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol
“ZORO:OB”.





We have
not established any proven or probable reserves on our mineral property
interests. To date, we have been engaged primarily in organizational activities
and have engaged in minimal exploratory drilling at our property located in
Chile subsequent to our April 30, 2008 year end. We plan to conduct exploration
programs on our properties with the objective of ascertaining whether any of our
properties contain economic concentrations of minerals that are prospective for
mining. As such, we are considered an exploration or exploratory stage company.
Since we are an exploration stage company, there is no assurance that a
commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties, and a great
deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the
economic feasibility of our properties is determined. We have no known reserves
of gold, copper, platinum or any other type of mineral on our
properties.





Please
note that throughout this Annual Report, and unless otherwise noted, the words
"we," "our," "us," the "Company," or "Zoro Mining Corp." refers to Zoro Mining
Corp.





Subsidiaries





During
the year ended April 30, 2008, and in accordance with applicable local laws and
regulations in Chile, Peru and Mexico, we incorporated three wholly-owned
subsidiaries in Chile, Peru and Mexico as follows: Sociedad Zoro Chile Limitada,
in Chile, South America; Zoro Mining SAC, in Peru, South America; and Aravena
Mexicana, SA in Mexico. We are in the process of transferring title to our
property interests in each such country to the respective subsidiary located in
such country. See “ – Current Business Operations – Mineral
Properties.”

CURRENT
BUSINESS OPERATIONS





We are a
natural resource exploration company currently engaged in the exploration,
acquisition and development of property located in South America and Mexico. We
plan to conduct exploration programs on our properties with the objective of
ascertaining whether any of our properties contain economic concentrations of
minerals that are prospective for mining. We currently have interests in an
aggregate of approximately 27,294 net acres located in Chile, approximately
4,940 net acres in Peru, and a further 6,822 gross acres located in Mexico,
targeting gold, copper and platinum.

Cancellation
of Shares





On May 7,
2007, and in connection with a certain mineral property acquisition agreement,
an aggregate of 132,850,000 shares of our common stock held by certain of our
directors were cancelled and returned to treasury at no value on the basis of
pre-existing negotiations. Thus, as of the date of this Annual Report, our total
issued and outstanding shares of common stock is 86,900,400. See “Part II. Item
5. Market for Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters and Small Business
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.”





MINERAL
INTERESTS




In
accordance with the terms and conditions of a certain Mineral Property
Acquisition Agreement dated April 12, 2007 and effective on May 7, 2007 (the
"Option Agreement"), as entered into among us and each of Eduardo Esteffan M.,
Fresia Sepulveda H., Eduardo Esteffan S., Gretchen Esteffan S., Claudio Esteffan
S. and Integrity Capital Group, LLC (collectively, the "Vendors") , the Vendors
granted to us the sole and exclusive option (the "Option") to acquire a 100%
undivided legal, beneficial and registerable interest in and to six separate
unencumbered mineral property interests totaling approximately 39,787 gross
acres located in Chile, Peru and Mexico and targeting potential gold, copper and
platinum group prospects (collectively, the "Property").




In order
to complete the acquisition of the Property, three wholly-owned subsidiaries in
each of Peru, Chile and Mexico were incorporated by us to beneficially hold
property titles in each country in order to comply with all applicable laws
relating thereto. As of the date of this Annual Report, we are in the process of
establishing and transferring to our wholly-owned subsidiaries in each of Chile,
Peru and Mexico our respective newly acquired interests in the Property. In
order to complete the acquisition of the Property, we further caused one of our
existing founding shareholders to sell an aggregate of 35,500,000 restricted
shares of Common Stock held of record by such shareholder to the Vendors at an
aggregate purchase price of U.S. $0.0001 per common share.




On May
18, 2007, we issued an aggregate 4,670,000 warrants to purchase shares of our
restricted common stock at a price of $0.70 per share for an exercise term until
May 18, 2009 in connection with the acquisition of the Property, of which
808,500 warrants were issued to our Chief Operating Officer and Vice-President
of Business Development. See “Part II. Item 5. Market for Common Equity and
Related Stockholder Matters and Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity
Securities” and “Part III. Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions and Director Independence.”




As of the
date of this Annual Report, we have paid and will continue to pay to, or on the
Vendors' behalf, all underlying option, regulatory and governmental payments and
assessment work required to keep the mineral property interests comprising the
Property and any underlying option agreements respecting any of the mineral
property interests comprising the Property in good standing through the calendar
year of 2008.




Current
Status of Properties




As of the
date of this Annual Report, we have been concentrating our exploration
initiatives on our 4,940 acre gold Yura Project located near Arequipa, Peru. A
large fracture has been identified on the Yura Project and exploratory drilling
has begun to test gold dissemination in and outside of the fracture. We have
also been conducting geological mapping, sampling, induced polarization testing,
and road building as necessary. Bulk ore samples continue to be tested for gold
content using mechanical recovery methods.




We have
also been concentrating our exploration initiatives on our 14,574 acre copper
and gold Don Beno Project. A large anomaly (induced polarization) has been
identified as a sulphide body that is being explored by drilling. A preliminary
exploratory drill program has been designed to drill targets from a recently
completed geophysical L.P. survey. The geophysical mapping program at Don Beno,
conducted by HydroGeophysics of Tucson, Arizona, included both electrical
resistivity and induced polarization methods along linear transects of up to 8
km in length. Several large sulfidic induced polarization targets were
identified through approximately 33 line-kilometers among five transects. Other
work undertaken includes initial mapping, grid sampling and aerial
photography.




We have
also been concentrating our exploration initiatives on our 5,063 acre gold and
platinum Escondida Project near Copiapo, Chile. Initiatives in progress include
lab gravity concentration tests for recovery of gold, silver and platinum group
metals, and leaching tests for recovery from gold and silver concentrates.
Mapping and exploratory drilling are other concurrent exploratory
initiatives.




As of the
date of this Annual Report, we continue to organize geological and exploratory
plans for our Rio Sur Project and Costa Rica Projects targeting copper and gold
sediment hosted mineralizations located in proximity to each other near Copiapo,
Chile and our Las Animas Project in Sonora, Mexico that feature epithermal vein
hosted gold. We will be completing further due diligence in order to determine
our best course of planned exploration and development work moving
forward.

YURA
GOLD PROJECT, AREQUIPA, PERU




As
discussed above, we acquired a 100% interest in approximately 4,940 acres of
exploration properties which covers the Yura property. The Yura mining district
is located some 40 kilometers west of the city of Arequipa, Peru. Arequipa is a
mining and tourism center for southern Peru with a population of 1 million, with
international airport service. A number of mining claims have been acquired and
are fully constituted. These claims cover portions of a large granodioritic
batholith which is hostrock to a series of quartz veins containing important
values of free milling gold. More than a dozen veins have been located, about
half of which have been sampled in outcrops and workings. The samples assayed
indicated gold values.




The
hosted veins are largely found between 1,200 to 2,400 meters above sea level,
and weather is favorable for all year mining. The Chili and Yura rivers converge
on the southern portion of the properties, forming the Vitor River. These rivers
drain along deep faults which expose the batholith to depths
of 300 meters, and up to 600 meters on the southwestern portion of the property.
Some of the veins are traceable downs strike at or near the river bottom. Taken
together, the horizontal and vertical relief presents a rough 3 dimensional view
of potential ore resources. The veins are mother lode fault emplacement, many of
which are vertical to semi-vertical, with long strikes traceable over hundreds
of meters, and in some cases more than a kilometer.




Local
Geology




The local
host rock is a massive granodioritic to granitic, course grained porforidic
intrusive body covering an area larger than 100 square kilometers, consisting of
equi-granular quartz, plagioclase and potassic feldspars, with elongated
hornblende and biotitic feno-crystals up to 3 cms in length. This intrusive
hostrock is cut by a series of fine to medium grained quartz-feldspar high angle
dikes which strike N to E.NE. The principle structural control appears to be a
series of slip-strike left lateral faults and fractures, related to a regional
zone of shearing which trends x N35W and dipping 60SW. Many of the faults in
this system host quartz veins, which vary in widths of 30 centimeters to a
meter, with pinching and swelling both horizontally and vertically. Swelling
typically occurs when the lateral faults flex temporarily toward the
west.




The veins
along strike occasionally form either the footwall, headwall, or even center of
shear zoned host rock. These shear zones vary in widths of 2 to 15 meters, with
strike lengths up to 100 meters or more. At one of the vein workings, for
example, the quartz vein forms the footwall, at an average width of 50 cms. The
headwall is formed by a 1 meter dike, and in between is a 10 meter shear zone of
moderate fracturing. The shear zone has an apparent strike length of more than
100 meters. Another example is the southern portion of a similar vein, which
cuts shear zone 50 meters long, with the quartz vein swelling in the central
portion of the shear zone to over 7 meters in width. These zones constitute some
of the most obvious initial drill targets.




Mineralization




The
quartz veins at Yura are of meso-thermal origin, similar to the mother lode
veins of California's Sierra Nevada. It is expected that these veins will have
extreme depths. None of the meso-thermal veins which have been mined in the
province of Arequipa have bottomed out, some having reached depths of over 3,000
feet. Another favorable and typical characteristic of meso-thermal veins is that
they tend to have continuous gold mineralization, even down to extreme
depths.




Most of
the prominent veins at Yura are parallel or semi parallel, and consist of
transparent to translucent massive quartz. These quartz veins contain
sericite-muscovite, both disseminated and in fractures, and locally traces of
chalcopyrite, pyrite, and specularite, iron oxides from oxidation of pyrites and
chalcopyrite, and abundant brecciation. The quartz presents at least two obvious
mineralizing events, with initial breccia fragmentation followed by subsequent
massive intrusion of translucent white quartz cemented with iron mineralization
as described above. The adjoining host rock has a mineralized halo on both the
head and foot walls of roughly 20 cms consisting of white clays and sericite,
although the width of the halo varies greatly from vein to vein and even along
strike. The veins and shear zones at the eastern portion of the property are
more heavily propitilized, and the host rock at the level of the river
demonstrate more epidote and clays, indicating
a probable porphyridic system at some depth, which is most likely the
mineralizing pluton for the Yura batholith.

Gold
Mineralization.Gold mineralization at the surface has been picked at
over the years by informal miners, generally down to a depth of no more than 10
meters or so, at which point winching the ore and the waste rock from the shaft
becomes ever more labor intensive. The bulk of the gold mineralization appears
to be free milling, simple crushing and hand panning reveals the gold to be
slightly finer than table salt, ideal for gravity recovery followed by
flotation. The oxide zone appears to dominate down to depths of 20 meters and
more, which is the depth to which we have been able to sample thus
far.




It is
possible that at greater depths a portion of the gold will be associated with
increasing sulfide mineralization with a decrease in overall free gold. Gold
grades at the surface also increase with a few meters depth, as the gold has
been remobilized by the decomposition of surface sulfides. The veins will also
be subject to ebb and flow in both directions of rich ore shoots, which
spatially will occur along strike in varying lengths and depths, depending on
the vertical position within the vein structure, but not uncommonly for 50 to
100 meters or more in length and several hundred meters in depth.




Gold Grades.A number of samples have been collected for assay, mostly along vein
surface outcroppings, with the balance from shallow pits and stopes. The samples
indicate assayable gold.




Hand Panning.A number of the veins have been checked by hand panning, using one of the
local "informal" miners as they are known in Peru, and who are generally
proficient at estimating gold grades by eyeballing the gold tail left after
panning. This method is particularly useful for obtaining a quick ballpark field
assay.




Potential
Ore Resources




The Yura
mining district is virtually undeveloped despite its close proximity to
Arequipa. The steep terrain and lack of access roads have discouraged small and
medium sized companies from developing the area. Also, a lack of custom milling
capacity in the region has hindered development not only at Yura, but also at
hundreds of small and medium prospects in southern Peru. Large mining companies
generally would not target a meso-thermal system of underground veins like Yura
for development unless there is clear potential for a large disseminated ore
body, which superficially does not appear to be the case at Yura.




To date,
only rudimentary mapping and sampling have been carried out at Yura, covering
only a portion of the property under claim. Prior mining activity in the area is
limited to a few existing pits and stopes, largely to depths of 10 meters or
less, most of which are found on the more accessible southern flank of both the
eastern and western portion of the property. The central and northern portions
of Yura are even less developed because the ore haulage distance on foot is up
to several additional kilometres.




More than
a dozen veins have been located at Yura to date. A quick exploration tool is to
look for sheared zones of country rock. These shear zones are most obvious along
the adjacent slopes of the hill
crests and peaks, which do not have the alluvial float covering of the lower
slopes. Within these shear zones, the large blocks of country rock have been
significantly reduced in size, down to small rubble, and many times quartz float
or outcrops are visible.




Visible
vertical displacement of veins at Yura varies from 100 - 200 meters, although on
the western portions of the property, mapping may eventually show vertical
displacements of 500 meters or more. Visible horizontal strike lengths (often
interrupted by float cover, pinch-swell, etc.) vary from a few hundred meters to
more than a kilometer.




Development
Plan




We intend
to contract in the future with Boulder Resources, a third party company with an
ore processing facility that currently has a mining camp near the Yura
property's Mercedes vein. In addition, we are building roads in the area for
truck access. Boulder Resources may provide equipment and personnel for future
ore bulk testing. Ore would be sampled, trucked, and milled on a toll basis at
the Boulder Resources processing plant some 70 kilometers to the east, at its
full service, permitted processing plant. Preliminary rights have been obtained
to as much as 3,000 cubic meters per day of water near the Yura mines, and
surface rights are in the process of being obtained for possible plant erection.
In work conducted on the claims to date, two access portals have been
constructed on the Yura property's Mercedes vein at interim levels, one being 60
meters in elevation above the other. Benches have been cut back into the
hillside above the portals, and on the top level more than 60 meters of tunnel
drifted horizontally at a minus 7% grade.

LAS
ANIMAS PROJECT, SONORA, MEXICO




As
discussed above, we have acquired a significant position in a mineral property
located in the Mexican state of Sonora. Known as Las Animas, the property is
located some 200 road kilometers southeast of Hermosillo, the state capital, and
175 kilometers northeast of Ciudad Obregon, a major agricultural center. The
property consists of three separate claims blocks totaling approximately 6,822
acres. The properties are found at the southern end of the California-Sonora
gold belt. A number of global companies are currently carrying out significant
exploration activities on a number of gold and copper exploration
initiatives.




Two
separate mineral targets exist; one on the northeast portion of the claims
constituting potentially a large disseminated copper/gold zone, and the balance
of the claims (approximately 2,000 hectares) which target a potentially large
zone of disseminated gold mineralization. The bulk of the property is located
between 400 to 600 meters above sea level. Locally, the predominate host rock
appears to be related to volcanic activity of the late Cretaceous-early Tertiary
arc magmatism common throughout central Sonora, consisting of propylitically
altered flows of andesite and possibly dacite, with minor amounts of
agglomerates and breccias of local derivation. Gold mineralization is apparently
related to local micro-veining and brecciation, which occurred through
subsequent hydrothermal activity related to movement of the underlying Sonora
batholith. Copper appears superficially as a suite of oxides contained in an
elongated vent several hundred meters long, and up to 100 meters in
width.




Land
Position




We
currently own 70% of two of the three mining claims, and are presently
consolidating our position on the third claim wherein we will also have a 70%
position. The balance is owned by two Mexican citizens, Gustavo Vazquez and
Maria Munoz with 15% each. We expect to be able to increase its ownership
position over the next couple of years through capital investment for
exploration activities such as mapping, sampling, and possibly drilling. No
formal agreement yet exists for increasing its ownership percentage. Since the
summer of 2006, foreign mining companies have surrounded the Las Animas project
both to the north and the south with more than 11,000 square kilometers of
mineral claims. There are some small adjacent property areas that remain
unclaimed, and we are currently evaluating the placement of a few more hundred
hectares of mining claims, which could raise the land position to some 3,000
hectares.




Access.Commercial aviation service is available from major cities in the U.S.
southwest, to both Hermosillo, the state capital with a population of 600,000,
and connecting to Ciudad Obregon, with a population of 300,000. If leaving from
Hermosillo, the road to Las Animas leads east along a paved road to the town of
Tecoripa, then south along pavement until the town of Suaqui Grande. The
pavement is in particularly poor shape. Las Animas is then reached by following
some 40 kilometers of dirt road southeast from Suaqui Grande. These roads are
annually maintained through a joint effort of local ranchers and state road
crews. The summer of 2006 was a particularly rainy year with several hurricanes
off the Baja Peninsula creating havoc with secondary roads throughout western
Mexico. If leaving from Obregon, pavement leads northeast to Rosario. An
improved dirt and gravel road is then followed for some 60 kilometers to the
local of El Realito, and then west along dirt road for some 15 kilometers. An
alternative is to use secondary roads if the weather permits on a NNE trajectory
for 110 kilometers.




Basing
the project out of either Hermosillo or Obregon is seen to be of comparative
advantage. Hermosillo is more accessible to major cities such as Los Angeles,
Tucson, and Phoenix, and has a larger population and is home base to many mining
companies. Because of its large agricultural base, the extended Obregon area
actually has better access to many types of equipment and repair
shops.




Infrastructure.




Infrastructure
at the property - roads, buildings, and so on, is sparse to non-existent. An old
telephone line runs across the property but appears to be in disuse for some
time. The Yaqui River with abundant water resources is located 2 miles east of
the property boundary, at an elevation some 200 to 300 meters below the median
property elevation.




Potential
Ore Target.




Copper
mineralization is found in an elongated belt several hundred meters long and up
to 100 meters in length. Depth of a potential oxide zone is unknown. Additional
copper mineralization zones probably exist which lack superficial expression,
but may be exposed through subsequent mapping and drilling. Gold mineralization
is spread out over several square kilometers. Sampling and drilling will
delineate whether there is an economic ore body.

DON
BENO PROPERTY, COPIAPO, CHILE




As
discussed above, we have acquired a 100% interest in approximately 14,574 acres
of exploration properties which covers the Don Beno property. The Don Beno
property group lies 100 kilometers south of Copiapo The properties are accessed
by traveling south on the Pan American for approximately 80 kilometers, then
traversing eastward for 20 kilometers along improved and maintained secondary
roads. Travel time from Copiapo is about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Copiapo is the
capital of Chile's 3rd Region, with a population of approximately 150,000
people, and an operating base for many of the larger regional mining projects of
such companies as Anglo American, Phelps Dodge, Barrick Gold, Codelco Chile,
etc. Copiapo is served by as many as 8 daily flights from two airlines,
including 4 flights a day to Santiago, and 2 flights per day to the north to
both Antofagasta, and Iquique, which are Chile's largest mining
centers.




Geology




The
mineral properties cover a good portion of the basin of a former caldera
formation which subsequently subsided. A resurgence occurred near the center of
the caldera splitting the basin into an eastern and western portion of roughly
equal area. The caldera lies near the center of a 100 kilometer long fault
system trending NNE and along which thick beds of limestone have surfaced
through block faulting. The limestone formations are generally sequenced as
horizontal beds each of which are several tens of meters in thickness. Some of
the exposed formations are several hundred meters thick. The northern boundary
of the limestone formation is best expressed near Pabellon, where the limestone
forms a sequence several kilometers long and several hundred meters thick. The
southern boundary is some 35 kilometers north of Vallenar, along the Pan
American highway, where the limestone beds up-thrust several hundred meters at
the El Toro formation. Width of the limestone varies, with some exposures
showing 10 kilometers or more in width.




Along
this NNE trending system, the limestone has been cut in many areas by localized
volcanics. Many of the areas on the western edge of the system have been heavily
mineralized forming economic deposits of iron, copper, and silver. Beginning at
the northern portion of the trend, we find the iron-copper skarn deposit at
Candelaria (Phelps Dodge). Working south, there are other skarn and copper
deposits near the Los Bronces area. Then the high grade silver pluton which cuts
the formation at Chanarcillo. The Bandurrias formation 8 kilometers to the north
contains rich lodes of copper and silver.




The iron
ore deposits at Cerro Colorado and Algarrobo are found at the southern end of
the limestone trend. The limestone replacement silver mine, La Jaula mine, is
found at Cerro El Toro. Ten kilometers to the southeast of Don Beno is the
Corral copper prospect, which is a northeast trending syncline several
kilometers long, interspersed with bedded limestone, andesite, and sedimentary
beds.




To the
east of Don Beno is found the Los Zorros property group currently held by SAMEX.
While exploring in the Los Zorros area, contiguous to us, they began to find
anomalous copper and gold surface values. The focus of the exploration then
changed to delineating a much more attractive target. Surface sampling and
trenching has been carried out at Los Zorros over a two year period, and has
exposed potential high grade mineralized zones, the most prominent of which
follow the regional NNE trend. Some of the delineated areas appear to be up to
two kilometers in length.




Don Beno
is a grassroots exploration target. The localized mineralization at Los Zorros
is most probably related to the caldera action at Don Beno. The eastern half of
the floor of the Don Beno caldera has the clearest indication of potential
mineralized targets. The main target consist of an alternating sequence of
dacitic and calcitic dikes, apparently near vertical, striking NNE over a
distance greater than 2 kilometers. The sequence of alternating dikes also
appears to be from 1.5 to 2 kilometers in width. Local drainage runoff to the SW
has cut the sequence into a series of low scarps, exposed to depths of 30 to 50
meters. The calcitic dikes appear to be re-mobilized from primary limestone,
which undoubtedly underlies the entire formation as a basement unit. From the
limited workings, economic gold values would appear to be more closely related
to the calcitic dikes, most likely related to iron mineralization of
hydrothermal origin. Copper oxide was found in the fissures and fractures in a
couple of dacitic dikes exposed by local mine workings.




The
potential target zone of the eastern portion of Don Beno is 2,000 meters long by
2,000 meters wide, and should be at least 200 meters deep. Much of the area
appears to be mineralized and can easily be trenched and sampled near surface to
delineate potential drill targets.




The
western portion of Don Beno contains a large number of calcitic dikes which have
been hydro-thermally altered and on the surface carry low gold values. Most of
the important formations appear to trend NNE, as do the calcitic dikes of
interest. This area needs mapping and sampling in order to more clearly
delineate the potential target zone, but speculatively it appears to be similar
in size to the eastern zone. It is also neighbor to the exploration going on at
Los Zorros. The southwestern portion of the property claims encompasses an area
of localized mudstones, of unknown depth. This may be a potential area of
dissemination and a drill target. A low hill formation trending NNE over a short
distance appears to be the boundary of the mudstones. A copper vein in the
bottom portion of the hill, trending NNE has been mined along strike for a
distance of some 30 meters. Parallel structures up the hill would appear to be
calcitic dikes.

ESCONDIDA
PROJECT, COPIAPO, CHILE




As
discussed above, we have acquired a 100% interest in approximately 5,063 acres
of exploration properties which covers the Escondida property. The Escondida
precious metals project is located in Chile's 3rd Region, (or Atacama Region),
20 kilometers south of the port city of Caldera, and approximately 65 kilometers
from Copiapo, the region's capital, along 40 kilometers of the paved Pan
American highway, and 25 kilometers of improved graded secondary roads, all of
which are maintained by the Chilean government.




Atacama
is a mining region, with annual exports of mineral commodities exceeding 1
billion dollars. The region has excellent infrastructure for mining projects,
including major vendors for mining supplies and machinery, a skilled labor
force, and over 400 years of mining history. The regional Atacama airport is
only 20 kilometers from the project, with direct daily jet service to Santiago
and major mining centers to the north, from two airlines operating eight daily
flights.




The
exploration claims are located in a region of approximately 14,000 hectares -
140 square kilometers, or about 35,000 acres. The mineral target consists of a
sedimentary exhalative sulfide deposit of marine origin, which has been uplifted
through block faulting to form a low lying continental shelf. The mean
elevational average of the target mineralized zone is less than 150 meters - 500
feet. Sulfide mineralization at or near the surface consists almost entirely of
finely disseminated pyrite, in banded horizontal beds. The beds are commonly a
few centimeters to 10's of centimeters in thickness, to hundreds of meters and
possibly kilometers in length and width. The surface oxidation zone is typically
only about a meter in thickness. On the western edge of the mineralized zone,
wind and water have carved the mineralized beds to a depth of 20 to 30
meters.




Precious
metals mineralization is believed to be related to, and to a large degree,
contained within the pyritic minerals. Silver values are spotty and generally
report low results. Platinum group metals are also present, in order of
importance, as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. Gold and PGM values should
increase with depth and proximity to the original source of mineralization,
thought to be black smokers or similar underwater venting.




Infrastructure




A small
pilot facility for metallurgical testing has been erected. Facility resources
include capture of localized subterranean waters, at a rate of 30 liters per
minute. Also, storage, mixing and recycling ponds with capacity in excess of 2
million liters. Fiberglass processing tanks have been erected in 4 processing
lines, with a total capacity of 30,000 liters. Tankage can be employed for
recovery of precious metals either through activated carbon, or as is now being
done through reverse electrolysis. Power is generated on site and distributed to
various pumps, motors, and lighting. Workers quarters, field office, and storage
areas are also included.




The
property area is served by a number of improved and maintained roads, bounded on
the east by the Pan American highway, and on the west by the improved gravel and
dirt roads leading from Puerto Viejo to Caldera, and to Bahia Inglesa,
respectively. On the south portion of the property are two improved, graded dirt
roads, leading from the Pan American highway to Puerto Viejo, each of which
straddle one side Copiapo River Canyon. All of these roads are maintained by the
regional government. More than 90% of the property is accessible to in either
two or four wheel drive.




Line
power is located some 15 kilometers (straight distance) from the current pilot
plant site, near the Atacama Regional airport. The airport is served from a
substation near Caldera. Previous inquiries to the regional electrical supplier
indicated a willingness to extend a supply line to the property as production
merits.




Localized
water recovered at the plant site appears to be limited, probably no more than 1
liter per second available. The water is saline (11,000 ppm's dissolved salts).
In addition to the localized water recovered at the plant, two other sources of
water are readily available. The Copiapo River runs through the southern portion
of the property, and is located some 5 kilometers from the pilot plant. River
resource water emptying into the Puerto Viejo bay are probably in the 100 to 500
liters per second range, depending on how much seepage occurs in the
subterranean aquifer. The ocean is only a few kilometers distance from the plant
site.




Some of
the world's largest mining companies have operations which are headquartered in
Copiapo, including Phelps Dodge, Placer Dome-Barrick, Anglo American, Codelco
Chile, and so on. Enami runs a state custom smelter. A full range of local
support services exists for the mining industry, much of which is backstopped
either from Santiago or Antofagasta.




Cell
phone coverage exists on much of the property, including at the pilot testing
facility. Copiapo has a full range of communication services, including
internet, cable, and satellite.




Metropolitan
Copiapo has a population approaching 150,000. The countries oldest mining
university is located here. The labor force is sufficient and well educated for
management, supervisory and labor positions.

Geological
Setting




The
Escondida deposit is a former marine sediment which was mineralized while under
water. Regional block faulting uplifted the sediments forming a low continental
shelf. Hostrock consists almost entirely of the granodioritic coastal batholith,
which forms an uneven basement onto which the sediments were deposited from
continental runoff. The batholith protrudes as occasional low lying
hills.




The
Copiapo River was the largest regional contributor of sediments for the deposit.
Fine and medium grained sediments expelled into the ocean during flood runoff
were sorted and carried by the predominantly northward flowing currents
(Humboldt) where they settled out across the marine batholith.




Concurrent
with the deposition of the sediments, mineralized fluids discharged onto the
seafloor through localized faults and fractures, forming extensive stratiform
deposits of chemical precipitates, in this case largely sulfides of pyrite. The
discharge zones for seafloor mineralization were probably simple fumarole
conduits, or possibly black smoker chimneys. Precious metals of gold, silver,
and platinum group metals found within the deposit are associated with the
pyrites. The sediments are of a sufficiently young age, probably 500,000 to 2 MM
years, that they are largely pliable and unhardened. The top 4 to 5 meters can
be easily trenched, and bottom layers can be ripped. A large section of the
western portions of the deposit contain a top layer of blow sand, from 0.5 to 1
meters in thickness. Underneath the blow sand lies a layer of former reef type
material bound with medium to small rounded rocks, generally 20 to 30
centimeters in thickness. The localized water captured at the plant site flows
through this porous layer as seepage.




The
mineralized sediments are found under the reef layer as banded, horizontal
units. At the plant site, trenching has exposed these units to a depth of 5
meters. West of the plant site, the layers are exposed to depths of 10 to as
much as 30 meters. Five kilometers to the northeast of the plant site, a small
basin has been locally block faulted, exposing sediments to a depth of 12
meters. To the south, the Copiapo River has cut a channel exposing sediments at
several different points which vary in depth from 10 to 25 meters.




Iron
content and oxidized iron staining indicate variations in mineral intensity.
Proximity to fault and discharge zones should significantly increase precious
metals values. The exploration targets found
within the property are ideal for I.P. testing. Mineral resources can be easily
delineated through trenching and drilling.




PROPOSED
FUTURE BUSINESS OPERATIONS





Our
current strategy is to complete further acquisitions of additional mineral
opportunities which fall within the criteria of providing a geological basis for
development of mining initiatives that can provide near term revenue potential
and capital repatriation from production cash flows and to create reserves. We
anticipate that our ongoing efforts, subject to adequate funding being
available, will continue to be focused on successfully concluding negotiations
for additional tracts of prime acreage, exploration and drilling to create
mineral reserves, and to implement mining to provide revenues.

MINERAL
EXPLORATION REGULATION





Our
mineral 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. Mineral 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 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. Our
activities may be subject to certain 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 national 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.





Mineral
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. Mineral 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.
Mineral 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 mining methods and equipment. Various permits
from government bodies are required for mining 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.





EMPLOYEES





We do not
employ any persons on a full-time or on a part-time basis. Andrew Brodkey, our
President/Chief Executive Officer, David Hackman, our Vice President of
Exploration, Jas Butalia, our Chief Financial Officer, and Harold Gardner, our
Chief Operating Officer/Vice President of Business Development are primarily
responsible for all of our day-to-day operations in conjunction with support
consultants and other contracting personnel. 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 continue our exploration
activities and our assessment of the commercial viability of our 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 required
funds, or on terms satisfactory to us. The continued exploration of current and
future mineral properties and the development of our business will depend upon
our ability to establish the commercial viability of our 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 are in the exploration stage. Alternatively, we may
finance our business by offering an interest in any of our future 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 our
mineral properties. Further, if we are able to establish that development of our
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 mineral on our properties that would
enable us to enter into commercial production, and achieve revenues and recover
the money we spend on exploration.

ITEM
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS-

Our
properties do not contain any known body of economic mineralization and there is
no assurance that any exploration programs that we engage in will establish any
economic mineralization. Our mineral properties are in the exploration stage as
opposed to the development stage. The known mineralization at these projects has
not yet been determined, and may never be determined to be economic. We plan to
conduct further exploration activities on our mineral properties, which future
exploration may include the completion of feasibility studies necessary to
evaluate whether 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 mineral. Any determination
that our properties contain commercially recoverable quantities of mineral 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 economical.
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 our 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 mineral on our 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 the mineral, 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; mineral prices, which fluctuate widely; and
government regulations, including, without limitation, regulations relating to
prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of
mineral 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 mineral 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 mineral on our
properties.





Mineral
prices may not support corporate profit.





Prices
for certain minerals have been highly volatile, and are affected by numerous
international economic and political factors over which we have no control. The
prices of certain minerals have varied over the last four years. The prices of
minerals are affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including the
demand, increased supplies from both existing and new mines, sales of minerals
from existing stockpiles, and political and economic conditions. Our
long-term success is highly dependent upon the prices of certain minerals, as
the economic feasibility of any ore body discovered on our properties would in
large part be determined by the prevailing market price of mineral. If a
profitable market does not exist, we could have to cease operations.




Our
business is difficult to evaluate because we have a limited operating
history.




In
considering whether to invest in our common stock, you should consider that our
inception was April 20, 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 have only recently acquired or
will acquire our primary mineral exploration prospects located in South America
and Mexico 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 ($3,806,977) from April 20, 2004 (inception) to April 30, 2008. As
of April 30, 2008, we had an accumulated deficit of ($3,806,977) and had
incurred losses of approximately $3,539,499 during fiscal year ended April 30,
2008. 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
additional 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 mineral 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 years ended April 30, 2008 and April 30,
2007 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 and 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. The terms
and provisions of the Option Agreement and our current plans require us to make
substantial capital expenditures for the exploration of our mineral exploration
properties. Historically, we have funded our operations through the issuance of
equity and short-term debt financing 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 mineral. 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 additional mineral 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 additional
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 which 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 mineral exploration and development
industry without profitable operating history.





Since
inception, our activities have been organizational and start up oriented and
have concentrated on obtaining working capital and funding for our exploration
initiatives. It has only been since 2004 that our business operations and focus
is on acquiring and developing 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 mineral exploration
and development is subject to many risks and if mineral is 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 mineral is 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 mineral; (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 proven mineral reserves. We do not presently carry
property and liability insurance. Cost effective insurance 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.





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 mineral, but also market mineral 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 minerals 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 mineral 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 mineral 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 mineral is found 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 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.




Mineral
exploration and development and mining activities are subject to certain
environmental regulations, which may prevent or delay the commencement or
continuance of our operations.





Mineral
exploration and development and future potential mineral 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
global 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 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 in any applicable jurisdiction, 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.




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 Andrew Brodkey, our President/Chief Executive
Officer and a director, David Hackman, our Vice President of Exploration and a
director, Jas Butalia, our Chief Financial Officer and a director, and Harold
Gardner, our Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of Business Development
and a director. Further, we do not have key man life insurance on any of these
individuals. We may not have the financial resources to hire a replacement if
any of our officers were to die. The loss of service of any of these employees
could therefore significantly and adversely affect our operations.




Our officers and directors may be
subject to conflicts of interest.


Our
officers and directors serve only part time and are subject to conflicts of
interest. Each of our executive officers and directors serves only on a part
time basis. Each 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 officers and
directors 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





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 86,900,400 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 up to 6,337,600
shares of our common stock pursuant to a registration statement declared
effective November 1, 2007 and are available for immediate resale which could
have an adverse effect on the price of our common stock. Of the 6,337,600 shares
registered under the registration statement, 3,150,400 shares are held of record
by existing shareholders and 3,187,200 shares are issuable upon the exercise of
3,187,200 warrants held by our existing shareholders.





As of the
date of this Annual Report, there are 47,022,400 outstanding shares of our
common stock that are restricted securities as that term is defined in Rule 144
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 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. See “Part II. Item 5. Market for Common Equity and
Related Stockholder Matters and Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity
Securities.”





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 will fluctuate
significantly and stockholders may have difficulty reselling their
shares.





As of the
date of this Annual Report, our common stock trades on the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board. There is a volatility associated with Bulletin Board securities
in general and 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
issuance of equity securities may result in dilution to our existing
stockholders.





Our
Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 3,600,000,000 shares of
common stock. Common stock is our only authorized class of 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, your
proportionate ownership interest and voting power will be decreased accordingly.
Further, any such issuance 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.





The SEC
has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with
transactions in "penny stocks." Penny stocks generally are equity securities
with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain
national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that
current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such
securities is provided by the exchange or system). Penny stock rules require a
broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from
those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the
SEC, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and
significance of risks of the penny stock market. A broker-dealer must also
provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the
compensation of the broker-dealer, and sales person in the transaction, and
monthly account statements indicating the market value of
each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock
rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt
from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination
that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the
purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements
may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for
stock that becomes subject to those penny stock rules. If a trading market for
our common stock develops, our common stock will probably become subject to the
penny stock rules, and shareholders may have difficulty in selling their
shares.





A
majority of our directors and officers are outside the United States and Canada,
with the result that it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the
United States and or Canada any judgments obtained against us or any of our
directors or officers.





A
majority of our directors and officers are nationals and/or residents of
countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such
persons' 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 officers or directors, 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.

2008
Stock Incentive Plan (“the 2008 Plan”)





On
February 7, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized and approved the adoption of
the 2008 Plan effective February 7, 2008, under which the maximum aggregate
number of shares which may be issued pursuant to all awards under the 2008 Plan
is 15% of the issued and outstanding common shares and the maximum number of
shares that may be granted in the form of incentive stock options is
10,000,000.





The
purpose of the 2008 Plan is to enhance our long-term stockholder value by
offering opportunities to our directors, officers, employees and eligible
consultants to acquire and maintain stock ownership in order to give these
persons the opportunity to participate in our growth and success, and to
encourage them to remain in our service.




The 2008
Plan is to be administered by our Board of Directors or a committee appointed by
and consisting of one or more members of the Board of Directors, which shall
determine (i) the persons to be granted Stock Options under the 2008 Plan; (ii)
the number of shares subject to each option, the exercise price of each Stock
Option; and (iii) whether the Stock Option shall be exercisable at any time
during the option period of up to ten (10) years or whether the Stock Option
shall be exercisable in installments or by vesting only. The 2008 Plan provides
authorization to the Board of Directors to grant Stock Options to purchase a
total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, not to exceed 15% of the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares in the form
of incentive stock options. At the time a Stock Option is granted under the 2008
Plan, the Board of Directors shall fix and determine the exercise price at which
shares of our common stock may be acquired.




In the
event an optionee ceases to be employed by or to provide services to us for
reasons other than cause, retirement, disability or death, any Stock Option that
is vested and held by such optionee generally may be exercisable within up to
ninety (90) calendar days after the effective date that his position ceases, and
after such 90-day period any unexercised Stock Option shall expire. In the event
an optionee ceases to be employed by or to provide services to us for reasons of
retirement, disability or death, any Stock Option that is vested and held by
such optionee generally may be exercisable within up to one-year after the
effective date that his position ceases, and after such one-year period any
unexercised Stock Option shall expire.





No Stock
Options granted under the Stock Option Plan will be transferable by the
optionee, and each Stock Option will be exercisable during the lifetime of the
optionee subject to the option period up to ten (10) years or limitations
described above. Any Stock Option held by an optionee at the time of his death
may be exercised by his estate within one (1) year of his death or such longer
period as the Board of Directors may determine.





The
exercise price of a Stock Option granted pursuant to the 2008 Plan shall be paid
in full to us by delivery of consideration equal to the product of the Stock
Option in accordance with the requirements of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Any
Stock Option settlement, including payment deferrals or payments deemed made by
way of settlement of pre-existing indebtedness may be subject to such
conditions, restrictions and contingencies as may be determined.

Incentive Stock
Options





The 2008
Plan further provides that, subject to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan
and prior shareholder approval, the Board of Directors may grant to any key
individuals who are our employees eligible to receive options, one or more
incentive stock options to purchase the number of shares of common stock
allotted by the Board of Directors (the "Incentive Stock Options"). The option
price per share of common stock deliverable upon the exercise of an Incentive
Stock Option shall be at least 100% of the fair market value of the common
shares of the Company, and in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to
an optionee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
classes of our stock, shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of
our common shares. The option term of each Incentive Stock Option shall be
determined by the Board of Directors, which shall not commence sooner than from
the date of grant and shall terminate
no later than ten (10) years from the date of grant of the Incentive Stock
Option, subject to possible early termination as described above.





As of the
date of this Annual Report, no Stock Options have been granted.





RECENT
SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES





As of the
date of this Annual Report and during fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, to
provide capital, we sold stock in private placement offerings, issued stock in
exchange for our debts or pursuant to contractual agreements as set forth
below.





2007
Private Placement Offering




Between
April 27, 2007 and July 11, 2007, we completed a private placement offering (the
“2007 Private Placement”) with certain non-United States residents
(collectively, the “Investors”). In accordance with the terms and provisions of
the 2007 Private Placement, we issued to the Investors in four tranches an
aggregate of 3,150,400 units at a per unit price of $1.25 (the “Unit”) in our
capital for aggregate proceeds of $3,938,000. Each Unit was comprised of one
share of restricted common stock and one full non-transferable warrant (the
“Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable at $1.50 per share for a period until
October 31, 2009.  The Units under the 2007 Private Placement were
sold to the Investors in reliance on Regulation S promulgated under the United
States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The 2007
Private Placement has not been registered under the Securities Act or under any
state securities laws and may not be offered or sold without registration with
the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption
from the registration requirements. The per share price of the Units was
arbitrarily determined by our Board of Directors based upon analysis of certain
factors including, but not limited to, stage of development and exploration of
properties, industry status, investment climate, perceived investment risks, our
assets and net estimated worth. The Investors executed subscription agreements
and acknowledged that the securities to be issued have not been registered under
the Securities Act, that they understood the economic risk of an investment in
the securities, and that they had the opportunity to ask questions of and
receive answers from our management concerning any and all matters related to
acquisition of the common stock.  As of April 30, 2007, we had
received $2,600,000 towards the 2007 Private Placement which was completed in
fiscal 2008.




Consulting
Services Agreement




Effective
on May 31, 2008, we entered into the Consulting Services Agreement with
Surfside. In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Consulting Services
Agreement, we issued 150,000 shares of our restricted common stock to Surfside
valued at a price per share of $0.80.




Warrants




In
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Mineral Property Acquisition
Agreement, on May 18, 2007, we issued an aggregate 4,670,000 warrants to
purchase 4,670,000 shares of our restricted common stock at a price of $0.70 per
share for an exercise term until May 18, 2009 as part of
mineral property acquisition costs in connection with acquisition of our
interests in the Property, of which 808,500 warrants were issued to Harold
Gardner who was our prior Chief Executive Officer/President, and is currently
Vice President of Business Development. See “Part III. Item 12. Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.”




On May
18, 2007 we issued an aggregate of 800,000 warrants to purchase 800,000 shares
of our restricted common stock at a price of $1.50 per share for a term until
May 18, 2009. The warrants were issued in connection management services to be
rendered by our Chief Executive Officer/President, with all such services
provided in the year ended April 30, 2008.  See “Part III. Item 12.
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director
Independence.”

We have
incurred recurring 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.





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 April 30, 2008 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended April 30,
2007.





Our net
loss for fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 was ($3,539,499) compared to a net
loss of ($220,450) during fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 (an increase of
$3,319,049). During fiscal years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007, we did not
generate any revenue.





During
fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, we incurred expenses of $3,603,795 compared to
$220,450 incurred during fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 (an increase of
$3,383,345). These expenses incurred during fiscal year ended April 30, 2008

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION -
continued




Expenses
incurred during fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 compared to fiscal year ended
April 30, 2007 increased primarily due to the increased mineral property costs
incurred in South America and Mexico relating to the acquisition of our
Property. Professional fees and organizational costs and office and general
expenses also increased correspondingly relating to the increased scale and
scope of business operations. General and administrative expenses generally
include corporate overhead, financial and administrative contracted services,
marketing, and consulting costs.





Expenses
incurred during fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 of $3,603,795 were offset by
interest income of $64,296 (2007: $-0-) resulting in a net loss of
($3,539,499).





Our net
loss during fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 was ($3,539,499) compared to a net
loss of ($220,450) during fiscal year ended April 30, 2007. Our net loss during
fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 was ($0.039) per share compared to a net loss
($0.001) per share during fiscal year ended April 30, 2007. The weighted average
number of shares outstanding was 89,234,495 for fiscal year ended April 30, 2008
compared to 205,564,932 for fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 (as increased by
the forward stock split effective February 9, 2007 on a thirty six for one
(36:1) basis).

mineral properties compared to total assets of $2,707,584 as at fiscal year
ended April 30, 2007. The decrease in total assets during fiscal year ended
April 30, 2008 from fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 was primarily due to lower
cash resources from exploration initiatives and company operations incurred
during th year offset by increases in the recording of valuation of our
interests in the mineral properties and equipment.





As at
fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, our total liabilities were $348,358 comprised
entirely of current liabilities. The slight increase in liabilities during
fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 from fiscal year ended April 30, 2007 was
primarily due to the increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. See “
– Material Commitments.”


Stockholders’
equity (deficit) decreased from $2,468,322 for fiscal year ended April 30, 2007
to $1,144,056 for fiscal year ended April 30, 2008.





Cash
Flows from Operating Activities





We have
not generated positive cash flows from operating activities. For fiscal year
ended April 30, 2008, net cash flows used in operating activities was
($2,913,902) consisting primarily of a net loss of ($3,539,499). Net cash flows
used in operating activities was adjusted by $209,293 for non-cash management
fees, $74,311 for depreciation, and ($7,500) for accrued interest income. Net
cash flows used in operating activities was further changed by a decrease of
$175,001 in prepaid expenses, an increase of $188,842 in accounts payable and
accrued liabilities, and an increase of $14,370 in other receivable. For fiscal
year ended April 30, 2007, net cash flows used in operating activities was
($287,653) consisting primarily of a net loss of ($220,450), and adjusted by
$3,000 in donated rent and $9,000 in donated services. Net cash flows used in
operating activities was further changed by an increase of $175,661 in prepaid
expenses and $96,458 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.





Cash
Flows from Investing Activities





For
fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, net cash flows used in investing activities
was ($509,598) consisting of the purchase of equipment for South American
exploration operations. For fiscal year ended April 30, 2007, net cash flows
used in investing activities was ($125,000) consisting of loan
receivable.

Cash
Flows from Financing Activities





We have
financed our operations primarily from either advancements or the issuance of
equity and debt instruments. For fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, net cash
flows provided from financing activities was $1,086,194 compared to $2,818,453
for fiscal year ended April 30, 2007. Cash flows from financing activities for
fiscal year ended April 30, 2008 consisted primarily of $1,165,940 in proceeds
from common stock issuances and subscriptions offset by ($79,746) in repayments
to related parties. Cash flows from financing activities for fiscal year ended
April 30, 2007 consisted primarily of $2,701,250 in proceeds from common stock
issuances and subscriptions and $117,203 in advances from related
parties.





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) mineral properties; (ii) possible drilling initiatives on current
properties and 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.





During
fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, we engaged in the 2007 Private Offering
pursuant to which we issued in four tranches an aggregate of 3,150,400 Units for
aggregate proceeds of $3,938,000.





MATERIAL
COMMITMENTS





As of the
date of this Annual Report, and other than our obligations under the Mineral
Property Acquisition Agreement, as incurred, and the Consulting Services
Agreement and the Corporate Support Agreement, we do not have any material
commitments other than the head lease joint and several guarantee relating to
our Tucson, AZ offices (see ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES).





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 February 29, 2008 and February 28,
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.

RECENT
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS





In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 is intended to improve
financial reporting by identifying
a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles
to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for
nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the
SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Auditing
amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning ofPresent Fairly
in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.





In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 is intended to
improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities
by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their
effects on an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash
flows. SFAS 161 achieves these improvements by requiring disclosure of the fair
values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format.
It also provides more information about an entity's liquidity by requiring
disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, it
requires cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users
to locate important information about derivative instruments. SFAS 161 will be
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008 and will be adopted by us beginning in the
first quarter of 2009. We do not expect there to be any significant impact of
adopting SFAS 161 on its financial position, cash flows and results of
operations.





In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 ("SFAS No.
160"), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests,
which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a
component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets. SFAS No. 160 is
effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning on or
after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. Management is in the
process of evaluating the impact, if any, SFAS 160 will have on our financial
statements upon adoption.





In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (“SFAS
No. 141R”). SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting for business combinations.
Under SFAS No. 141R, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the
assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date
fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141R will change the accounting
treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination.
SFAS No. 141R applies prospectively to business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the entity’s first annual
reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, any
business combinations completed by us prior to January 1, 2009 will be recorded
and disclosed following existing GAAP. Management is in the process of
evaluating the impact, if any, SFAS 141 will have on our financial statements
upon adoption.

 REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
 
 To the
Stockholders and Board of Directors of Zoro Mining Corp.
 
 We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zoro Mining Corp. (an
exploration stage company) as of April 30 2008 and 2007 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for
the years ended April 30, 2008 and 2007 and the period from April 20, 2004
(inception) through April 30, 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
audits.
 
 We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require
that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, and assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
 In our
opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Zoro Mining Corp. as of April 30, 2008 and
2007 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended
April 30, 2008 and 2007 and the period from April 20, 2004 (inception) through
April 30, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.
 
 The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company has not generated revenues since inception,
has incurred losses in developing its business, and further losses are
anticipated.  The Company requires additional funds to meet its
obligations and the costs of its operations.  These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.  Management’s plans in this regard are described in Note
1.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

  1.
              Nature of
      Operations
  The
Company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 20, 2004. The Company
is in the exploration stage, as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and
exploration of mineral resources (Note 4). The Company has not presently
determined whether its mineral properties contain mineral reserves that are
economically recoverable.
  Going
Concern
  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 not 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 on 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
April 30, 2008, the Company has accumulated losses of $3,806,977 since inception
and has a working capital deficiency of $131,211. These factors raise
substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. 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.
 
 Share
Split
 
 On
February 9, 2007 the Company increased the number of shares of the Company's
authorized share capital and correspondingly increased the number of its issued
and outstanding common shares, in each case on a thirty-six (36) new shares for
one (1) old share basis.  As a result, the Company's authorized share
capital was increased from 100,000,000 common shares to 3,600,000,000 common
shares, and the Company's issued and outstanding common stock was increased from
6,012,500 common shares to 216,450,000 common shares. The par value of the
Company's common shares, which is $0.00001 per common share, has not
changed.  The financial statements have been restated to give
retroactive effect to the stock split, unless otherwise noted.
 
 Name
Change and Merger
 
 Effective
on March 19, 2007, solely for the purposes of effecting a name change, the
Company (as Rochdale Mining Corporation), merged with a new wholly-owned
subsidiary, Zoro Mining Corp., pursuant to Articles of Merger that the Company
filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. The merger was in the form of a
parent/ subsidiary merger, with the Company as the surviving corporation. Upon
completion of the merger, the Company's name was changed to "Zoro Mining Corp."
and the Company's Articles of Incorporation have been amended to reflect this
name change.
  The
Company’s common shares trade on the United States OTC Bulletin Board and on the
Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

              Summary
      of Significant Accounting Policies
 
 a)
              Basis
      of Presentation and Fiscal Year
                
                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 April
    30.
  b)
              Principles
      of Consolidation
                
                The Company has incorporated three
      wholly-owned subsidiaries in each of Peru (Zoro Mining SAC, dba “Zoro
      Peru”), Chile (Sociedad Chile Limitada, dba “Zoro Chile”), and Mexico
      (Aravena Mexicana, SA, dba “Zoro Mexico”) to beneficially hold property
      titles in each country.  These financial statements include the
      accounts of Zoro Mining Corp., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Zoro
      Peru, Zoro Chile, and Zoro Mexico (collectively the
      “Company”).  All intercompany transactions and balances have
      been eliminated upon consolidation.

  c)
              Use
      of Estimates
                
                The preparation of financial statements in
      conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
      States 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.  The
      most significant estimates with regard to these financial statements
      relate to carrying values of mineral properties, estimated useful lives of
      equipment, stock-based compensation, and the provision for income
      taxes.
  d)
              Equipment
                
                Equipment is recorded at
      cost.  Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method
      over 5 years for exploration equipment, automotive equipment and
      furniture and fixtures; depreciation is provided using the straight-line
      method over 3 years for computer equipment. Maintenance and repairs
      are expensed as incurred. Replacements and betterments are
      capitalized.
  e)
              Basic
      and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share
                
                The Company computes loss per share in
      accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.
      128, “Earnings per Share” which requires presentation of both basic and
      diluted earnings per share on the face of the statement of operations.
      Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common
      shareholders by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares
      during the period, as retroactively restated for the 36:1 stock split.
      Diluted loss per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common
      shares outstanding during the period.  Dilutive loss per share
      excludes all potential common shares if their effect is
      anti-dilutive.
  f)
              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
      April 30, 2008, the Company has no items that represent a comprehensive
      loss and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive loss in
      these financial statements.
  g)
              Mineral
      Property Costs
                
                Pursuant
      to EITF 04-2, the Company classified its mineral rights as tangible assets
      and accordingly acquisition costs are capitalized as mineral property
      costs.  Generally accepted accounting principles require that
      long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
      circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
      recoverable.  In performing the review for recoverability, the
      Company is to estimate the future cash flows expected to result from the
      use of the asset and its eventual disposition.  If the sum of
      the undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying
      amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized.  Mineral
      exploration costs are expensed as incurred until commercially mineable
      deposits are determined to exist within a particular property. To date the
      Company has not established any proven or probable reserves and
      accordingly, the Company has expensed all mineral exploration
      costs.
                The
      Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 “Accounting for Asset
      Retirement Obligations” which establishes standards for the initial
      measurement and subsequent accounting for obligations associated with the
      sale, abandonment, or other disposal of long-term tangible assets arising
      from the acquisition, construction or development and for normal
      operations of such assets. As of April 30, 2008, any potential costs
      related to the retirement of the Company’s mineral property interests have
      not yet been determined.

              Financial
      Instruments
                
                In accordance with the requirements of
      SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the
      Company has determined the estimated fair value of financial instruments
      using available market information and appropriate valuation
      methodologies. The carrying values of cash, other receivables, loan
      receivable, accounts payable and accruals approximate their fair values
      due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the
      amounts due to  related parties is not determinable as they have
      no specific repayment terms.
  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.
                The
      Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48,
      Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), on December 1,
      2007. Previously, the Company had accounted for tax contingencies in
      accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. As required
      by Interpretation 48, which clarifies SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
      Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a
      tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would
      more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax
      positions meeting this standard, the amount recognized in the financial
      statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent
      likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant
      tax authority. At the adoption date, the Company applied Interpretation 48
      to all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open.
      The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact in the financial
      statements during the year ended April 30,
  2008.
  j)
              Foreign
      Currency Translation
                
                The Company’s functional and reporting
      currency is the United States dollar. The financial statements of the
      subsidiaries are translated to United States dollars in accordance with
      SFAS No. 52 “Foreign
      Currency Translation” using period-end rates of exchange for assets
      and liabilities, and average rates of exchange for the period for revenues
      and expenses. Translation gains (losses) are recorded in accumulated other
      comprehensive income as a component of stockholders’ equity. Foreign
      currency transaction gains and losses are included in current operations.
      Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency
      denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of
      income. 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 records stock-based
      compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123R “Share Based Payments”,
      using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services
      are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are
      accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the
      fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably
      measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the
      services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on
      the fair value of the equity instruments issued. The Company has adopted a
      stock option plan, but no options have been granted to date and no
      stock-based compensation been
recorded.

              Recent
      Accounting Pronouncement
                
                In
      December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) “Business
      Combinations”. SFAS 141 (Revised) establishes principles and requirements
      for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its
      financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities
      assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement
      also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired
      in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to
      enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and
      financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become
      effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008.
      Management is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, SFAS 141
      (Revised) will have on the Company’s financial statements upon
      adoption.
                In
      December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in
      Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS 160
      establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling
      interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The
      guidance will become effective for the fiscal year beginning after
      December 15, 2008. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact,
      if any, SFAS 160 will have on the Company’s financial statements upon
      adoption.
                  
                  On
      December 21, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
      Accounting Bulletin No. 110, (“SAB 110”). SAB 110 provides guidance to
      issuers on the method allowed in developing estimates of expected term of
      “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R),
      “Share-Based Payment”. The staff will continue to accept, under certain
      circumstances, the use of a simplified method beyond December 31, 2007
      which amends question 6 of Section D.2 as included in SAB 107, “Valuation
      of Share-Based Payment Arrangements for Public Companies”, which stated
      that the simplified method could not be used beyond December 31, 2007. SAB
      110 is effective January 1, 2008. The Company does not expect there to be
      any significant impact of adopting SAB 110 on its financial position, cash
      flows and results of operations.
                  
                  In
      March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
      Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 is intended to
      improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging
      activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better
      understand their effects on an entity's financial position, financial
      performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 achieves these improvements by
      requiring disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and
      their gains and losses in a tabular format. It also provides more
      information about an entity's liquidity by requiring disclosure of
      derivative features that are credit risk-related. Finally, it requires
      cross-referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to
      locate important information about derivative instruments. SFAS 161 will
      be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim
      periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and will be adopted by the
      Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The Company does
      not expect there to be any significant impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its
      financial position, cash flows and results of operations.
                  
                  In
      May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally
      Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS No. 162”). SFAS No. 162 is
      intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a
      consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting
      principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are
      presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
      for nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following
      the SEC's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
      Auditing amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning ofPresent
      Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
      Principles.  The Company does not expect there to be any
      significant impact of adopting SFAS 162 on its financial position, cash
      flows and results of
operations

      converted into one larger claim covering a total of 942
      hectares.  Title to the property was held by the past president
      and current director of the Company in trust on behalf of the
      Company.  Mineral property costs include direct expenditures of
      $15,155 since inception related to this property, of which $5,301 was
      incurred in the year ended April 30, 2007.  As at April 30, 2007
      the Company decided not to renew its interest in this property and
      forfeited its interest in these claims.

                  Pursuant
      to an agreement dated April 12, 2007 and effective on May 7, 2007, the
      Company agreed to the terms and conditions of a mineral property
      acquisition agreement between the Company and various third parties
      pursuant to which the vendors agreed to transfer a 100% undivided legal,
      beneficial and registerable interest in and to six separate mineral
      property projects, totalling approximately 28,173 acres in Chile, 6,672
      acres in Mexico, and a further 4,942 acres located in Peru (the “Mineral
      Property Acquisition Agreement”).
                  
                  In
      order to complete the acquisitions, three wholly-owned subsidiaries in
      each of Peru, Chile, and Mexico were incorporated by the Company between
      May and July 2007 to beneficially hold property titles in each
      country.  As consideration, a founding shareholder of the
      Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 35,500,000 restricted common shares
      to the vendors at a purchase price of US$0.00001 per common share, the
      Company agreed to enter into certain consulting arrangements for
      management and administration of exploration activities with certain
      agents to the vendors of the properties, and the Company further agreed to
      pay all regulatory and governmental payments and assessment work required
      to keep the mineral property interests in good standing. The Company is in
      the process of establishing and transferring to the wholly-owned
      subsidiaries its various and newly acquired property
      interests.
                  
                  The
      Company has been concentrating its exploration initiatives primarily in
      Peru on its 4,942 acre Yura gold prospect located near Arequipa, Peru and
      on its 14,830 acre Don Beno gold and copper project near Copiapo,
      Chile.
                    
                    On
      May 18, 2007 and in connection with the Mineral Property Acquisition
      Agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,670,000 warrants to
      purchase restricted common shares of the Company at a price of $0.70 per
      share for a term until May 18, 2009 for finders’ fees in connection with
      the exploration properties acquired of which 808,500 warrants were issued
      to an individual who subsequently became the President and Director of the
      Company. The term of these warrants is two years. The fair value of these
      warrants at the date of grant of $840,000 was estimated using the
      Black-Scholes option pricing model with an expected life of 2 years, a
      risk free interest rate of 4.38%, a dividend yield of 0%, and an expected
      volatility of 40% and has been recorded as mineral property acquisition
      costs in the period. The Company has also recorded a deferred income tax
      liability of $432,727 relating to the temporary difference between the
      carrying value and tax value of the mineral properties.  Refer
      to Note 10.  The acquisition cost of $1,272,727 has been
      apportioned by exploration acreage in Chile, Peru, and Mexico in the
      amounts of $889,436, $ 160,981, and $222,310
      respectively.
                    
                    During
      the year ended April 30, 2007, the Company paid $48,087 in costs relating
      to due diligence of a possible gold property acquisition in Brazil which
      never completed.

                During
      the year ended April 30, 2008, the Company issued 100,800 warrants with an
      estimated fair value of $37,767 as a finder’s fee in a private placement
      and recorded as share issuance costs.
                During
      the year ended April 30, 2008, the Company issued 800,000 warrants with an
      estimated fair value of $209,293 in conjunction with contractual
      arrangements with an officer and director of the Company, with such amount
      recorded in management fees (refer to Note 7 b).
                  
                  During
      the year ended April 30, 2008, the Company issued 4,670,000 warrants with
      an estimated fair value of $840,000 in conjunction with the acquisition of
      certain mineral properties, which was recorded as mineral property
      acquisition costs. (refer to Note 4).
                  
                  During the year ended April 30, 2008, the
      Company recorded a deferred income tax liability relating to the value of
      the warrants not deductible for tax purposes.  Refer to Note
      10.

      Taxes
                
                There were no temporary differences related to
      the Company’s assets and liabilities nor other temporary differences that
      result in deferred tax assets nor liabilities, except for the Company’s
      net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1,235,000 (2007 -
      $179,000), other deductions for tax amounting to approximately $48,000
      (2007 - $54,000) which may be available to reduce future year’s taxable
      income and a non-deductible mineral property acquisition costs of
      approximately $1,273,000. The net operating loss carry-forwards will
      expire, if not utilized, commencing in 2024.  Management
      believes that the realization of the benefits from these deferred tax
      assets are uncertain due to the Company’s limited operating history and
      continuing losses.  Accordingly, a full deferred tax asset
      valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset has been
      recorded.
                
                The significant components of the Company’s
      deferred income tax assets at April 30 are as

      Taxes (continued)
                
                The Company has filed income tax returns since
      inception in the United States.  Inherent uncertainties arise
      over tax positions taken with respect to transfer pricing, related party
      transactions, tax credits, tax based incentives and stock based
      transactions. Management has considered the likelihood and significance of
      possible penalties associated with its current and intended filing
      positions and has determined, based on their assessment, that such
      penalties, if any, would not be expected to be
  material.

nor was it modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles,
other than to state that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to
continue as a going concern.  During fiscal year ended April 30, 2008
and 2007, there were no disagreements between us and DMCL, whether or not
resolved, on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to
the satisfaction of DMCL, would have caused DMCL to make reference thereto in
its report on our audited financial statements.





In
connection with our appointment of DMCL as our principal registered accounting
firm, we did not consult DMCL on any matter relating to the application of
accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or
contemplated, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our
financial statements.







ITEM
8A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES





FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES





Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting, as required by Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Section
404 A. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under
the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.




As of
April 30, 2008, management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control
over financial reporting established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(“COSO”) and SEC guidance on conducting such assessments.  Based on
that evaluation, they concluded that, during the period covered by this report,
such internal controls and procedures were not effective due to deficiencies
that existed in the design or operation of our internal control over financial
reporting that adversely affected our internal controls and that may be
considered to be material weaknesses.




The
matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management
considered to be material weaknesses under COSO and SEC rules were: (1) lack of
a functioning audit committee during much of the year resulting in ineffective
oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and
procedures; an audit committee was established in February of 2008 (2)
inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3)
insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial
reporting with respect to the requirements and application
of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over
period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned
material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Financial Officer in connection
with the preparation of our financial statements as of April 30, 2008 and
communicated the matters to our management and board of directors.




Management
believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above
were the result of the scale of our operations and are intrinsic to our small
size.  Management believes these weaknesses did not have a material
effect on our financial results. .




We are
committed to improving our financial organization. As part of this commitment,
we will create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives
and will increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise
within the accounting function when funds are available to us by preparing and
implementing sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth
procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the
requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure
requirements.




Management
believes that the appointment of independent directors to, and establishment of,
a functioning audit committee will remedy the lack of a functioning audit
committee and a lack of a majority of outside directors on our Board. In
addition, management believes that preparing and implementing sufficient written
policies and checklists will remedy the following material weaknesses: (i)
insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial
reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC
disclosure requirements; and (ii) ineffective controls over period end financial
close and reporting processes. Further, management believes that the hiring of
additional personnel who have the technical expertise and knowledge will result
in proper segregation of duties and provide more checks and balances within the
department. The appointment of additional outside directors will greatly
decrease any control and procedure issues the company may encounter in the
future.




We will
continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and
procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing
basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional
enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.




This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the company's registered
public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting.  Management's report was not subject to attestation by the
Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the company to provide only
management's report in this annual report.

Changes
in Internal Controls




There
have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified
in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 or
15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during the small business issuer's
last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.




Audit
Committee





Our Board
of Directors has established an audit committee. The members of the audit
committee are Mr. Paul Brock, Mr. Terrance Schorn, Mr. Federico Diaz and Mr. Jas
Butalia. Three of the four members of the audit committee are “independent”
within the meaning of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. The audit committee was
organized on February 7, 2008 and operates under a written charter adopted by
our Board of Directors.





The audit
committee has reviewed and discussed with management our audited financial
statements as of and for fiscal year ended April 30, 2008. The audit committee
has also discussed with DMCL the matters required to be discussed by Statement
on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended,
by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. The audit committee has received and reviewed the written
disclosures and the letter from DMCL required by Independence Standards Board
Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as amended, and
has discussed with DMCL their independence.





Based on
the reviews and discussions referred to above, the audit committee has
recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements
referred to above be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for fiscal
year ended April 30, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

ITEM 11. SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS -

(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
