Stockholders and other users of this Annual Report on Form 10-K are urged to carefully consider these factors in connection with the forward-looking statements. We do not intend to publicly release any revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.





Item 1. Description of Business





We were incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 24, 2000. We are an exploration stage company that is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. Our initial focus was in the area of the Torngat fields located in the province of Quebec, Canada. Currently, the Company is focusing in the area of the Caribou Property located in the province of Quebec, Canada. Other than contracting with third parties to conduct exploration and gather data on our behalf, we have conducted no operations to date and do not expect to receive any revenues for at least the next two years. During the next two years we plan to continue to concentrate our efforts on exploration and data gathering. During the next two years we will be solely dependent on the availability of external financing to fund our operations. Our independent public accountants expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because such continuance is dependent upon our ability to raise capital. If we are unable to secure adequate financing we will be unable to continue our exploration and data gathering efforts. Because we are an exploration stage company, we do not know if a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties. Further exploration will be required before the economic and legal feasibility of developing the properties can be determined.





Acquisition Agreements





Caribou Property





On March 17, 2008, we entered into an acquisition agreement with Messrs. Bertrand Brassard and Michel Lavoie. Pursuant to such agreement, we acquired certain mineral rights in property located in the Thetford Mines area, part of the Appalachian Belt, Province of Quebec, Canada. The total consideration of $205,000, of which $75,000 represents the amount paid in cash and $130,000 represents the fair value of a total of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to Messrs. Brassard and Lavoie.





In connection with the acquisition of these mineral rights, the Company agreed to pay the sellers a 2% royalty on the “net smelter returns” of the property. Net smelter returns are determined by the net amount received from the production of all metals and/or minerals from the property. The Company has the right to purchase, at any time prior to the beginning of any commercial production on the property, 1% royalty on the “net smelter returns” for a total cash payment of $1,000,000.





3





Torngat Property





On September 12, 2000, we entered into an acquisition agreement to acquire certain mineral exploration permits covering an area of approximately 469.05 square kilometers in the Torngat fields, which are located on the east coast of Ungava Bay, in the northwestern part of Quebec. The Company performed exploration activities in the Torngat fields from 2000 to 2007. In 2008, we abandoned exploration of the Torngat fields in favor of the Caribou Property.





Our Exploration Program





Caribou Property





Prior to any decision to develop the properties, a mineral deposit must be assessed to determine the total tonnage of minerals bearing material and the estimated value of the minerals. Gathering this data usually takes, as noted above, at least two years. At that time, we will decide whether, and, if so, how, to proceed. We may seek either a joint venture partner or a senior partner that will undertake the exploration of the properties. It must be noted that there is a substantial risk that no commercially viable mineral deposit will be found, and if that is the case, we are likely to have difficulty finding any partners to undertake further exploration.





At the present time, we do not hold any interest in a mineral property that is in production. Our viability and potential success lie in our ability to successfully explore, exploit and generate revenue from our properties. There can be no assurance that such revenues will be obtained. The exploration of mineral deposits involves significant risks over a long period of time, which a combination of careful evaluations, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. It is impossible to ensure that the current or proposed exploration programs on the exploration permits will be profitable or successful. Our inability to locate a viable mineral deposit on our properties could result in a total loss of our business.





We intend to continue to explore the Caribou Property through the completion of the exploration phase. We contract with third parties to perform all exploration activities.





Our exploration operations are subject to all of the hazards and risks normally incident to exploration of this type, any of which could result to damage to life or property, environmental damage, and possible legal liability for any or all damages. Our activities may be subject to prolonged disruptions due to weather conditions surrounding the location of properties over which we have permits. Difficulties, such as an unusual or unexpected rock formation encountered by workers but not indicated on a map, or other conditions may be encountered in the gathering of samples and data, and could delay our exploration program. While we may obtain insurance against certain risks in such amounts as we deem adequate, the nature of these risks are such that liabilities could exceed policy limits or be excluded from coverage. We do not currently carry insurance to protect against these risks and there is no assurance that we will obtain such insurance in the future. There are also risks against which we cannot, or may not elect to, insure. The potential costs which could be associated with any liabilities not covered by insurance or in excess of insurance coverage or compliance with applicable laws and regulations may cause substantial delays and require significant capital outlays, adversely affecting our final position, future earnings, and/or competitive position.





FY 2008 Activities





In June 2008, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Platinum Discoveries Corp., received from GEOLOGICA Groupe – Conseil Inc. (“Geologica”) a NI 43 -101 Technical Report on the Company’s 100% owned Caribou Property authored by Alain-Jean Beauregard, P.Geo., OGQ, FGAC and Daniel Gaudreault, P. Eng., OIQ, AEMQ, Thetford-Mines area in the province of Quebec Canada. Eleven (11) deposits and showings are present on the Caribou property (Montreal Mine, Caribou Mine, American Chrome Deposit, American Chrome Jr., Finneth, Cesar, Dumais, Vaillancourt, Gagne, Greenshields and Lambly-Nadeau/Victoria Mines). Compiling and analyzing all previous work led to sensing a very close relationship between the cumulate sequence of the Thetford Mines Ophiolitic Complex, chromiferous mineralization, and Platinum Group Elements (PGE) mineralization.





More than eleven (11) known chromite deposits and showings on the Company’s property were recognized and defined. The report indicates that the results of the past work are very interesting and significant for the Company since they not only confirm the presence of platinum and palladium on the Caribou property, but also seem to show that PGE mineralization is preferentially associated with the contact between ultramafic and mafic units of the Thetford Mines Ophiolitic Complex. More than 10 Km of favorable contact is present on the Property. Large-scale mapping of this metalotect led to identifying new PGE showings.





Moreover, recent sampling on the Starchrome property immediately south of the Caribou property, has confirmed the possibility of finding economic grades of platinum and palladium. In fact, a grab sample (sample SC-1) has revealed 15.93 g/t Pt-Pd and .427 ppm Rh. Previously, a channel sampling carried out by Allican had revealed a total platinum-palladium values of 2.61 g/t, and 3.83 g/t and 4.66 g/t over widths of 4.7m.





4





In September 2008 the Company announced that Platinum Discoveries Corp. commenced evaluation of the Caribou project in the Thetford Mines area of Southern Quebec. Sampling of the eleven (11) showings that are present on the Caribou Property have begun and will be sent to ALS Laboratories for assay testing. These showings have shown potential for chromium, nickel and platinum mineralizations. A heliborne geophysical survey is also planned that in addition to the surface sampling will assist in prioritizing drill targets.





In addition to exploration work carried on by the Company, Auger Resources Limited, a private Canadian company controlled by Forbes & Manhattan Inc., has begun a major drill program on its historical chromium deposits of Reed Belanger and Hall which are adjacent to the Company’s Caribou property.





In November 2008, preliminary results from the exploration work done in 2008 field season confirmed the presence of high chromium (Cr2O3) mineralization in pyroxenite unit over several meters.





FY 2009 Activities





The 2008 field season focused on known chromite showings to confirm the chromite and platinum group elements (PGE) potential. The 2009 field season followed a structural-geological study completed in the fall of 2008 on the Property based on satellite imagery. The study defined high potential structural analysis at a 1:10,000 scale. The report was titled “Structural/Geological Interpretation Using Satellite Imagery of the Brassard South Project, Quebec, Canada” dated December 2008 by A. Moreau, P. Geo., M.A. Sc., Geological Engineering, of Technologies Earth Metrix Inc.(Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec)





The channel sampling of 2009 of known showings (Finneth, American Chrome Junior and Cesar) confirmed chromium and PGE potential. All samples selected on outcrop were 1 meter wide. The best values were obtained on American Chrome Junior with one value up to 21.47 % of Cr2O3. All seven (7) samples are chromium rich and enriched in PGE. Finneth Showing contains values up to 6.36% Cr2O3. All 15 samples contain anomalous chromium values. The three (3) highest Cr2O3 values graded 100 ppb PGE (Pt-Pd-RH). The two (2) best values obtained on Cesar graded over 2% Cr2O3. It was recommended to do more trenching in the surrounding area of each showing.





FY 2010 Activities





In 2010, the Company acquired an additional 41 mineral claims totaling 2,460 hectares on the northeast corner of the existing property adjacent to Nevado Ventures (TSX-V.VDO) and less than 2 miles from Bowmore Exploration Limited (TSX-V.BOW). These claims were acquired for their gold potential. This acquisition brought the total land package to 143 claims representing 6,236 hectares.





FY 2011 Planned Activities





Plans for 2011 include additional surface sampling and phase one drilling of 3-5 targets totaling 1-2000 meters for chromium values and 3-5 targets totaling 1-2000 meters for gold values. The total budget for these exploration activities is $500,000 to $1,000,000. The Company is actively pursuing strategic alliances and joint-venture opportunities in order to achieve these exploration goals.





We estimate that it will require approximately $500,000 to $1,000,000 to conduct an exploration program on the Caribou property through 2011. This amount will be used to pay for continued drilling of identified targets, prospecting and geological mapping, helicopter and airplane support, lodging and food for workers, pick-up truck rentals, assays, property taxes to the Quebec Department of Natural Resources and supervision. If we continue with the exploration of the Caribou property, we plan to raise a minimum of $500,000 to $1,000,000 through one or more private offerings pursuant to Rule 506 or Regulation D or through an offshore offering pursuant to Regulation S; however, nothing in this annual report shall constitute an offer of any securities for sale. Such shares when sold will not have been registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. If we are unable to raise this amount, we will most likely cease all activity related to our exploration program, or at the very least, proceed on a reduced scale. We have to date relied on a small number of investors to provide us with financing for the commencement of our exploration program, including TVP Capital Corp., a principal stockholder. Amounts owed to these individuals are payable upon demand.





Torngat Property





The Company performed exploration activities related to the Torngat Property from 2000 through the end of 2007 at which time it was determined not to pursue any further exploration of that property.

Government Regulation and Licensing





Our operations require licenses and permits from various governmental authorities. We believe that we presently hold all necessary licenses and permits required for our intended activities under applicable laws and regulations, and we believe that we are complying at the present time in all material respects with the terms of such licenses and permits. However, our licenses and permits are subject to changes in regulations and in various operating circumstances. We may not be able to obtain all necessary licenses and permits required to carry out exploration activities.





We are currently subject to the environmental regulations set forth under the Environmental Act (Quebec), the Mining Act (Quebec) and the Forest Act (Quebec). We believe that we are in compliance with all of these acts, and moreover, we believe that the environmental impact of our exploration activities will be minimal. To the extent that we remove large amounts of rock or soil from the properties, we will likely have to remediate any environmental disruption caused by our activities. It is impossible to assess with any certainty the cost of such replacement or remediation activities, or the potential liability that we would face if we were to be found to have violated one, or more, of these Acts.





Employees





We do not have any full time employees at the present time. We have one part time employee, Mr. Antonio Sciacca, who is an executive officer. We use third parties to oversee and conduct our exploration activities.





Competition





The mineral exploration business is competitive in all of its phases. We expect to compete with numerous other exploration companies and individuals, including competitors with greater financial, technical and other resources than us, for the resources required for exploration. The greater resources of other entities will likely position these competitors to conduct exploration within a shorter time frame than we can, giving them a market advantage.





Currency Fluctuation





We also have exposure to currency fluctuations, since our properties are located in Canada, and thus our transactions are largely in Canadian dollars. Such fluctuations can materially affect our financial position and other results of operations. References to the “dollar” or “$US” in this Form 10K are to United States Dollars, and “Canadian” or “$Cdn” refers to Canadian dollars. Unless otherwise stated, the translations of $US to $Cdn and vice versa have been made at the average rate for the year indicated. The following table sets forth the high and low exchange rate of the Canadian dollar per US dollar as of the latest practicable date and for each of the last six months:

Item 2. Description of Property





We do not own real property, nor do we hold any other real property interest other than the exploration permits which we discuss above under the caption “Description of Business.” As noted above, we engaged Messr. Bertrand Brassard as our on-site project manager for our exploration activities of the Caribou Property.





In compliance with Guide 7 of Industry Guides under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the following information is provided, since we are engaged or are to be engaged in significant mining operations:





(1)           The Caribou Property has a total of 143 claims covering 6,236 hectares of properties in Quebec, Canada. There is nothing preventing access to the properties.





(2)           Pursuant to an agreement between us and Messrs. Bertrand Brassard and Michel Lavoie. Pursuant to such agreement, we acquired certain mineral rights in property located in the Thetford Mines area, part of the Appalachian Belt, Province of Quebec, Canada. The total consideration of $205,000, of which $75,000 represents the amount paid in cash and $130,000 represents the fair value of a total of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued to Messrs. Brassard and Lavoie.





6





In connection with the acquisition of these mineral rights, the Company agreed to pay the sellers a 2% royalty on the “net smelter returns” of the property. Net smelter returns are determined by the net amount received from the production of all metals and/or minerals from the property. The Company has the right to purchase, at any time prior to the beginning of any commercial production on the property, 1% royalty on the “net smelter returns” for a total cash payment of $1,000,000.





(3)           To our knowledge, Messrs. Brassard and Lavoie bought the original 102 claims totaling 3,776 hectares of property in the Caribou Property located in Quebec, Canada, from the Quebec Government. Allican Resources, Inc. were the previous owners. Operations on the property ceased in the early 1950s.





(4)           Although there can be no assurance of successful mineral development, initial progress reports of the property have indicated that there are potential chromium, nickel and platinum mineralizations on the property.

Options granted under the Plan generally vest over three years. The Compensation Committee may not receive options.





9





Any incentive stock option that is granted under the Plan may not be granted at a price less than the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant (or less than 110% of the fair market value in the case of holders of 10% or more of the total combined voting power through all classes of stock of the Company or a subsidiary or parent of the Company.) Non-qualified stock options may be granted at the exercise price established by the Compensation Committee, which may be less than the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant, but in no event shall such exercise price be less than 55% of such fair market value.





Each option granted under the Plan is exercisable for a period not to exceed ten years from the date of grant (or five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a holder of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or a subsidiary or parent of the Company) and shall lapse upon expiration of such period, or earlier upon termination of the recipient’s employment with the Company, or as determined by the Compensation Committee.





Awards are generally non-transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.





The Company’s Board of Directors may at any time, and from time to time, amend, terminate, or suspend one or more of the Plan in any manner it deems appropriate, provided that such amendment, termination or suspension cannot adversely affect rights or obligations with respect to shares or options previously granted, unless the Award recipient consents to such changes in writing. The Board of Directors may not, without shareholder approval: make any amendment which would materially modify the participation eligibility requirements for the 2005 Plan and 2004 Plan, to the extent they require approval in order to satisfy the Internal Revenue Code requirements; make other modifications requiring stockholder approval to satisfy the Internal Revenue Code requirements, increase the total number of shares of common stock which may be issued pursuant to the 2005 Plan and 2004 Plan, except in the case of a reclassification of the Company’s capital stock or a consolidation or merger of the Company.

Operations to Date





We were incorporated in the State of Delaware in April of 2000. We have not engaged in commercial operations since inception, and therefore have not realized any revenues from operations since inception. We do not expect to commence operations in the foreseeable future and do not expect to generate revenue in calendar year 2011.





For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the period from April 24, 2000 (date of inception) to December 31, 2010 we incurred $24,520, $26,281 and $2,455,092 in exploration costs (net of reimbursements), and $69,657, $88,060 and $16,428,796 in general and administrative expenses, respectively. General and administrative expenses consisted primarily of professional fees related to our corporate filings and consulting and other expenses incurred in operating our business. We incurred a net loss of $94,177 or $(.00) per share based on 399,886,289 weighted average shares outstanding for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 compared to a net loss of $114,341 or $(.00) per share based on 397,176,762 weighted average shares outstanding for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.





Going Concern





In connection with their audit report on our financial statements as of December 31, 2010, Rodefer Moss, our independent registered public accounting firm, expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern because such continuance is dependent upon our ability to raise sufficient capital.





We have explored, and continue to explore, all avenues possible to raise the funds required. Continuation of our exploration efforts is dependent upon our ability to raise capital.





Ultimately, we must achieve profitable operations if we are to be a viable entity. Although we believe that there is a reasonable basis to believe that we will successfully raise the needed funds to continue exploration, we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise sufficient capital to continue exploration, or that if such funds are raised, that exploration will result in a finding of commercially exploitable reserves, or that if exploitable reserves exist on our properties, that extraction activities can be conducted at a profit.





Cash Flow and Capital Resources





Through December 31, 2010 we have relied on advances of approximately $1,779,000 from our principal stockholders, trade payables of approximately $257,000, notes payable of approximately 1,479,000 and proceeds of approximately $5,366,000 from the sale of common stock to support our limited operations. As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately $6,801 of cash.





We plan to seek additional equity or debt financing of up to $1,000,000 which we plan to use for the next phase of our exploration program to be conducted through December 31, 2011, as well as working capital purposes. We currently have limited sources of capital, including the public and private placement of equity securities and the possibility of issuance of debt securities to our stockholders. With virtually no assets, the availability of funds from traditional sources of debt will be limited, and will almost certainly involve pledges of assets or guarantees by officers, directors and stockholders. Stockholders have advanced funds to us in the past, but we cannot assure you that they will be a source of funds in the future. If we do not get sufficient financing, we may not be able to continue as a going concern and we may have to curtail or terminate our operations and liquidate our business (see Note 1 to financial statements).





Plan of Operation





Our business plan for the next year will consist of further exploration on the properties over which we hold the mineral exploration permits as well as preliminary marketing efforts.





We estimate that it will require approximately $500,000 to $1,000,000 to conduct an exploration program on the Caribou property through 2011. This amount will be used to pay for continued drilling of identified targets, prospecting and geological mapping, helicopter and airplane support, lodging and food for workers, pick-up truck rentals, assays, property taxes to the Quebec Department of Natural Resources and supervision. If we continue with the exploration of the Caribou property, we plan to raise a minimum of $500,000 through one or more private offerings pursuant to Rule 506 or Regulation D or through an offshore offering pursuant to Regulation S; however, nothing in this annual report shall constitute an offer of any securities for sale. Such shares when sold will not have been registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. If we are unable to raise this amount, we will most likely cease all activity related to our exploration program, or at the very least, proceed on a reduced scale. We have to date relied on a small number of investors to provide us with financing for the commencement of our exploration program, including TVP Capital Corp., a principal stockholder. Amounts owed to these individuals are payable upon demand.





11





We employ one individual on a part time basis, who is an executive officer. We do not expect any significant changes in the number of employees within the next twelve months.





Risk Factors





Operations—New Entity/Startup Entity





We have no history running our mineral exploration business.





We are engaged in the exploration stage of our business. We have not engaged in any substantive business operations to date. More particularly, we have not engaged in any mining operations. We have only engaged in exploratory activities, feasibility studies and the establishment of initial exploration plans. Thus, we have no way to evaluate the likelihood that we will be able to operate our business successfully. You should consider our business future based on the risks associated with our early stage, and lack of experience.





We expect to face many of the typical challenges of a startup business.





A startup business like ours faces a number of challenges. For example, engaging the services of qualified support personnel and related consultants and other experts is very important in the mineral exploration business, and there is keen competition for the services of these experts, consultants, and support personnel. Equally important in the mineral exploration business is establishing initial exploration plans for mining prospects and analyzing relevant information efficiently. Establishing and maintaining budgets and appropriate financial controls is also very important to a startup business. We expect to incur substantial operating losses for the foreseeable future, as well. The failure to address one or more of these activities, or curb operating losses, may impair our ability to carry out our business plan.





Operations—Mineral Exploration Activities





Mineral exploration has many inherent risks of operations which may prevent ultimate success.





Mineral exploration has significant risks. Mineral exploration companies (like us) are dependent on locating mineral reserves on the properties over which it has mineral permits, and are also dependent on the skillful management of minerals, when and if found or located on these properties. These minerals, when found in deposits and mineralizations, can vary substantially in a prospect, rendering what was initially believed to be a profitable deposit into one of little or no value. Unforeseen changes in regulations, the value of minerals, environmental regulations, mining technology, site conditions, and/or labor conditions can all have a negative impact on our operations, and each may impair our ability to carry out our business plan.





Our business future is dependent on finding mineral deposits with sufficient mineralization and grade.





Our business model depends on locating prospects with a sufficient amount of mineralization to justify surface and drilling sampling. No assurance can be given that our specific exploration target areas will be valuable in locating mineralizations. Even if initial mineralization reports are positive, subsequent activities may determine that deposits are not commercially viable. Thus, at any stage in the exploration process, we may determine that there is no business reason to continue and, at that time, our resources may not enable us to continue exploratory operations and will cause us to terminate our business.





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





We have no mineral reserves. If we do not find a mineral reserve containing diamonds, or if we cannot develop any diamond-bearing mineral reserve, either because we do not have the money to effect such a development, or because it will not be economically feasible to do it, we will have to cease operations, and you may lose your entire investment.





We are relying on geological reports to locate potential mineral deposits, which may be inaccurate.





We rely on geological reports to determine which of the properties, for which we have mineral permits, to explore. There is no sure method of verifying the care and manner used to prepare these reports without further verification on our part, or on our agents’ part. Verification of reports is expected to be costly, and may take a considerable period of time. Verification could result in our rejecting a potential mineral prospect; however, we will have borne the expense of this verification with no likelihood of recovering the amounts expended. Decisions made without adequately checking the mining prospects could result in significant unrecoverable expenses. Mineral deposits initially thought to be valuable may, in fact, turn out to be of little value. Therefore, it is possible that investment funds will have been used, with no value having been achieved from the operations based on the reports.





12





Regulatory compliance in the mineral exploration business is complex, and the failure to meet all of the various requirements could result in fines, or other limitations on the proposed business.





Our mineral exploration activities will be subject to regulation by numerous governmental authorities. We are subject to environmental regulations under the Environmental Act (Quebec), the Mining Act (Quebec), and the Forest Act (Quebec). The failure to comply fully with these or any other governmental regulations will adversely affect our ability to explore for economic mineralization, and our subsequent business stages. The failure to comply with any regulations or licenses may result in fines or other penalties. We expect compliance with these regulations to be substantial. Therefore, compliance with (or, conversely, the failure to so comply with) applicable regulations will affect our ability to succeed in our business plans and to generate revenues and profits.





Mineral exploration is a hazardous business, which entails risks for liability and/or damages.





The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure against, or against which we may not elect to insure. We do not currently carry any insurance to protect against the potential liability of such hazards. The payment of any liabilities attributed to us may have a material adverse effect on our financial position and may cause us to cease operations.





We face intense competition, and our competitors may have greater resources than we do and be better able to locate and explore mineral resources in a quicker and more cost efficient manner than we can.





It is our belief that there are a significant number of companies with greater resources than those available to us, to locate and explore mineral resources. These companies may be able to reach production stages sooner than we can, and obtain a share of the market for mineral products before we can.





Because our management has only limited experience in mineral exploration, we have a higher risk of failure.





Our management has only limited experience in mineral exploration. As a result of this limited experience, there is a higher risk of our being unable to complete our business plan in the exploration of our mineral property.





Capital Issues





We do not currently have sufficient capital to engage in exploration activities.





The cost of our planned exploration activities is approximately $500,000. As of the date of this filing, we do not have sufficient capital to engage in exploration activities, and no sources for financing. The extent to which we will be able to implement our exploration for minerals will be determined by our ability to engage in offerings of equity securities and/or debt securities. Without additional capital, we will have to either curtail our business plan, or abandon it altogether.





We do not have any identified sources of additional capital, the absence of which may prevent us from continuing our operations.





We do not, presently, have any arrangements with any investment banking firms or institutional lenders. Because we will need additional capital, we will have to expend significant effort to raise operating funds. These efforts may not be successful. If not, we will have to either curtail our business plan, or abandon it altogether.





Corporate Governance Risks





Our officers and directors will devote approximately one-third of their time to our operations.





Our officers and directors have other interests. Because of these other interests, each will be devoting only one-third of their time to our operations, which could have a negative impact on the efficiency of our operations.





Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates





Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. This section summarizes the critical accounting policies and the related judgments involved in their application.





13





Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets





We regularly evaluate our ability to recover the reported amount of our deferred income taxes considering several factors, including our estimate of the likelihood that we will generate sufficient taxable income in future years in which temporary differences reverse. Due to the uncertainties related to, among other things, the extent and time of future taxable income and the potential changes in the ownership of the Company, which could subject our net operating loss carryforwards to substantial annual limitations, we offset our net deferred tax assets by an equivalent valuation allowance as of December 31, 2010.





Valuation of Long-Lived Assets





We assess the recoverability of long-lived assets, such as mining claims, whenever we determine that events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Our assessment is primarily based upon our estimate of future cash flows associated with these assets. If at some point in the future, we estimate that the undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the assets, this determination could result in non-cash charges to income that could materially affect our financial position or results of operations for that period.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM





To the Board of Directors and Stockholders


Diamond Discoveries International Corp.:





We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Diamond Discoveries International Corp. (an exploration stage company) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010, and for the period April 24, 2000 (inception) through December 31, 2010. Diamond Discoveries International Corp.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.





We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our 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 of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.





In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Diamond Discoveries International Corp. (an exploration stage company), as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2010, and for the period April 24, 2000 (inception) through December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.





The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has no present revenue. The success of the Company’s business plan is also dependent upon the amount of funds it is able to raise in the near future. The Company’s capital resources as of May 12, 2011 are not sufficient to sustain operations or complete its planned activities for the upcoming year unless it raises additional funds. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are described in Note 1. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

DIAMOND DISCOVERIES INTERNATIONAL CORP.


(An Exploration Stage Company)





NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





Note 1—Business and basis of presentation:





Diamond Discoveries International Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 24, 2000. The Company is engaged in activities related to the exploration for mineral resources in Canada. It conducts exploration and related activities through contracts with third parties.





In September 2000, the Company acquired mineral permits for property in the “Torngat Fields” located in the Province of Quebec, Canada. The Company intended to develop the permits from early stage exploration through completion of the exploration phase. Prior to any further exploration decisions, a mineral deposit must be appropriately assessed. Gathering this data usually takes several years. Once the appropriate data was gathered, management determined not to proceed any further with the exploration of this property.





In March 2008, the Company acquired mineral rights for property located in the Thetford Mines area (the “Caribou Property”). The Company intends to develop the mineral rights from the early stage exploration through completion of the exploration phase. Prior to any further exploration decisions, a mineral deposit must be appropriately assessed. Gathering this data usually takes several years. Once the appropriate data has been gathered, management will determine how to proceed any further with the exploration of this property.





Other than contracting with third parties to conduct exploration and gather data on its behalf, the Company had not conducted any operations or generated any revenues as of December 31, 2010. Accordingly, it is considered an “exploration stage company” for accounting purposes. In addition to exploration costs, the Company incurs general and administrative expense which consists primarily of professional fees relating to corporate filings and consulting and other expenses incurred in operating our business.





The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. However, in addition to not generating any revenues, the Company had a working capital deficiency of approximately $2,126,000 and a stockholders’ deficiency of approximately $1,883,000 as of December 31, 2010. Management believes that the Company will not generate any revenues during the twelve month period subsequent to December 31, 2010 in which it will be gathering and evaluating data related to the mineral rights for the Caribou Property. Since its inception, the Company has received total consideration of $7,343,505 as a result of proceeds of shareholder advances, the issuance of notes payable and the sales of common stock, management believes that the Company will still need total additional financing of approximately $500,000 to $1,000,000 to continue to operate as planned during the twelve month period subsequent to December 31, 2010. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.





Management plans to obtain such financing through private offerings of debt and equity securities. However management cannot assure that the Company will be able to obtain any or all of the additional financing it will need to continue to operate through at least December 31, 2011 or that, ultimately, it will be able to generate any profitable commercial mining operations. If the Company is unable to obtain the required financing, it may have to curtail or terminate its operations and liquidate its remaining assets and liabilities.





The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classifications of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue its operations as a going concern.





Note 2—Summary of significant accounting policies:





Use of estimates:





The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.





Mining costs:





Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed as incurred. Management’s decision to develop or mine a property will be based on an assessment of the viability of the property and the availability of financing. The Company will capitalize mining exploration and other related costs attributable to reserves in the event that a definitive feasibility study establishes proven and probable reserves. Capitalized mining costs will be expensed using the unit of production method and will also be subject to an impairment assessment.





21





Concentrations of credit risk:





The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which, at times, may exceed Federal insurance limits. Exposure to credit risk is reduced by placing such deposits with major financial institutions and monitoring their credit ratings.





Impairment of long-lived assets:





Impairment losses on long-lived assets, such as mining claims, are recognized when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by such assets are less than their carrying value and, accordingly, all or a portion of such carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are then measured by comparing the fair value of assets to their carrying amounts.





Income taxes:





Income tax expense is provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences relate primarily to the effects of net operating loss carry forwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.





Refundable tax credit:





The Company is eligible for a refundable tax credit given by the Province of Quebec to encourage mineral exploration in the province. Eligible expenses include exploration expenses within Quebec.





The Company files a tax return claiming the refundable tax credit. However, the Quebec government subjects the return to a review process which may result in a substantial adjustment to the initial claimed credit prior to issuing an assessment of the refundable tax credit. Due to the uncertainty of the amount approved by the Quebec government, the Company’s policy is to record the refundable tax credit at such time that it has been notified by the Quebec government of an assessment. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not receive any refunds under the program.





Net earnings (loss) per share:





The Company presents “basic” earnings (loss) per share and, if applicable, “diluted” earnings per share pursuant to the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to that of basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, were issued during the period.





Foreign currency translation and transactions:





The functional currency of the Company’s operations is Canadian dollars. The assets and liabilities arising from these operations are translated at current exchange rates and related revenues and expenses at average exchange rates in effect during the year. Resulting translation adjustments, if material, are recorded in the statement of changes in stockholders' deficiency while foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in operations.





The Company recorded a loss of $94,177, $114,341 and $18,585,001 during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the period from April 24, 2000 (Date of Inception) to December 31, 2010, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded a net foreign currency translation adjustment of $(82,693) and $(193,909), respectively, in its interest in the Caribou Property and operations reflecting a strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U. S. dollar which is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).





Comprehensive loss





Comprehensive loss consists of net loss for the period, unrealized hedging transactions and foreign currency translation adjustments.





22





Recent accounting pronouncements:





In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105, Codification which establishes FASB Codification as the source of authoritative generally accepted accounting pronouncements (“US GAAP”) recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities. The final rule was for interim and annual periods issued after September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.





Note 3—Notes payable:





In November 2005, the Company and Prospecting Geophysics Ltd. (“PGL”) entered into an agreement whereby the amount due to PGL was converted to a non-interest bearing note payable totaling $1,500,000 (Canadian). The note was secured with the permits related to the Torngat property. In connection with the agreement, the Company recorded a gain on the modification of debt of $1,349,623 during 2005. The Company recorded the note using a 12% discount rate. The Company was unable to make the scheduled payments ($600,000 Canadian) during 2006 under this note payable and therefore the note is effectively in default.





Note 4—Stockholders’ deficiency:





Preferred stock





As of December 31, 2010, the Company was authorized to issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.001 per share. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series with dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights and other terms and preferences to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, subject to certain limitations set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. No shares of preferred stock had been issued by the Company as of December 31, 2010.





Common stock





During the period from April 24, 2000 to December 31, 2000, the Company issued 150,000 shares of common stock as payment for legal services. Accordingly, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statement of operations, and common stock and additional paid-in capital in the accompanying statements of stockholders’ deficiency, for the period from April 24, 2000 to December 31, 2004 was increased to reflect the estimated fair value of the shares of $3,750.





On May 20, 2000, the Company completed the sale of 10,000,000 shares of common stock for $250,000, or $.025 per share, through a private placement intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”). Initially, the buyer paid $25,000 in cash and $225,000 through the issuance of a 10% promissory note. The exchange of shares for a note receivable was a noncash transaction that is not reflected in the accompanying statement of cash flows for the period from April 24, 2000 to December 31, 2004. The 10% promissory note was paid on various dates through May 20, 2001.





During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company received total cash consideration of $734,959 as a result of the sale of 1,633,242 units of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock at $.45 per unit through private placements intended to be exempt from registration under the Act. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock exercisable at $.75 per share for a two year period from the date of purchase. The Company had also received subscriptions through the private placements for the purchase of 51,758 units at $.45 per unit or a total of $23,291 as of December 31, 2002. The notes receivable from the subscribers are noninterest bearing and were due six months from the respective dates of sale, but remained outstanding at December 31, 2004. All the warrants remained outstanding as of December 31, 2004.

Note 5—Income taxes:





As of December 31, 2010, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $19,508,000 available to reduce future Federal taxable income which will expire at various dates through 2030. The Company had no other material temporary differences as of that date. Due to the uncertainties related to, among other things, the changes in the ownership of the Company, which could subject those loss carry forwards to substantial annual limitations, and the extent and timing of its future taxable income, if any, the Company offset the deferred tax assets of approximately $7,803,000 attributable to the potential benefits from the utilization of those net operating loss carry forwards by an equivalent valuation allowance as of December 31, 2010.





The Company had also offset the potential benefits from net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $7,803,000 and $7,732,000 by equivalent valuation allowances as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. As a result of the increases in the valuation allowance of $70,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010, $123,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $7,803,000 for the period from April 24, 2000 to December 31, 2010, the Company did not recognize any credits for income taxes in the accompanying statements of operations to offset its pre-tax losses in any of those periods.





Management periodically evaluates tax reporting methods to determine if any uncertain tax positions exist that would require the establishment of a loss contingency. A loss contingency would be recognized if it were probable that a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount recognized is subject to estimates and management’s judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately incurred for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount recognized. Management has determined that no significant uncertain tax positions existed as of December 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009.





Note 6—Guarantee:





On March 14, 2003, the Company became a guarantor of a promissory note issued by one of its stockholders with an outstanding balance of approximately $101,200 that was originally scheduled to mature on July 31, 2003. The maturity dates of the promissory note and the guaranty have been extended to April 30, 2011.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure





None





Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures





(A) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2010. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Antonio Sciacca. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. In making this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer considered, among other things, the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below.





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





(B) MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING





Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements in accordance with United States’ generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP), including those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.





28





Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting and testing of the operational effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, the Company did not maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting due to our limited number of employees which resulted in our inability to effectively segregate all conflicting duties.





Currently we use one consultant to assist in the preparation of the financial statements and accompanying footnotes.


To remedy this material weakness, we will, to the extent possible, implement procedures to assure the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will be performed by separate individuals. Further, concurrent with having sufficient resources we will engage additional individuals to assist us in remedying this material weakness.





Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls





Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving our objectives and our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at that reasonable assurance level. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.





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 our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in the Annual Report.





(C) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL


There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2010 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such controls.





Item 9B. Other Information





None.

PART III





Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers, Promoters and Control Persons; Compliance With Section 16(A) Of The Exchange Act





The following Table sets forth certain information regarding the executive officers and directors of the Company as of May 12, 2011. All officers and directors are elected for a term of one year and until their successors are elected.





Name

Age

Company PositionAntonio Sciacca

51

Chairman, President, CEO, and Director





Antonio Sciacca




Mr. Sciacca has been our chief executive officer since June 2008 and a director since March 2007. Since 1995 Mr. Sciacca has been the Director of Programs/Operations of North American Controls Inc a manufacturing company with facilities for the U.S. defense industry. Mr. Sciacca currently sits on the board of Immaculate Conception schools in Warren, Michigan.




Conflicts of Interest





Our management has other financial and business interests to which a significant amount of time is devoted which may pose conflicts of interest with regard to allocation of their time and efforts. Teodosio Pangia, our former president, director and CEO beneficially owns 1.1% of our common stock and is also the sole principal of Epwort Trading, Ltd., a holder of 13.3% of our common stock, and beneficially owns and/or controls, either directly or indirectly, seven companies, Altea Investments, Ltd., Gata Investments, Ltd., Baychester Investments, Ltd., TVP Capital Corp., Bekeman Investments, Ltd., Aester Investment Holdings Limited and S D Investments, Ltd., which in the aggregate hold 8,243,000 shares or 2.0% of our shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that management will resolve all conflicts of interest in favor of Diamond Discoveries. Failure of management to conduct Diamond Discoveries’ business in its best interest may result in liability of the management to Diamond Discoveries.





Committees





The entire Board of Directors performs the functions of the audit committee and compensation committee. The Company does not have an audit committee financial expert serving on the audit committee. The Company intends to add such persons to the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee at such time as the Company has adequate funds to compensate such persons for their services.





Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance





Section 16(a) of the Security Exchange Act of 1934 requires directors, executive officers and 10% or greater shareholders of the Company to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial reports of ownership (Form 3) and reports of changes in ownership of equity securities of the Company (Form 4 and Form 5) and to provide copies of all such Forms as filed to the Company. Based solely on our review of the copies of these forms received by us or representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that SEC beneficial ownership reporting requirements for fiscal 2010 were met with the following exceptions:





Our former CEO Teodosio V. Pangia failed to timely file Form 3 and a Form 4 to report transactions in March 2003 and has not yet filed these reports.





30





Code of Ethics

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.





Teodosio Pangia, our former president, director and CEO, beneficially owns 4,500,000 shares or 1.1% of our shares or common stock and is the sole principal of Epwort Trading Ltd., which owns 53,821,763 shares, or 13.3% of our shares of common stock and beneficially owns and/or controls, either directly or indirectly, seven companies, TVP Capital Corp., Altea Investments, Ltd., Gata Investments, Ltd., Baychester Investments, Ltd., Bekeman Investments, Ltd., Aester Investments Holdings Limited and S D Investments, Ltd., which in the aggregate hold 8,243,000 shares or 2.0% of our shares of common stock.





We entered into an Acquisition Agreement dated September 12, 2000 with Mr. Ferderber, Mr. Hawkins and Tandem Resources Ltd. The Acquisition Agreement provides for us to purchase certain mineral exploration permits from Messrs. Ferderber and Hawkins. Such permits cover 469.05 square kilometers in the Torngat fields in northwest Quebec, Canada, on the eastern shore of Ungava Bay. As consideration for the acquisition of these permits, we have issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to each of Messrs. Ferderber and Hawkins and have paid $35,000 Canadian to Mr. Hawkins and $25,000 Canadian to Mr. Ferderber.





In addition, the Acquisition Agreement further provides for an option to Tandem Resources Ltd., to purchase 40% of the properties covered by the permits conditioned on (i) the Company expending $5,000,000 Canadian on exploration of the properties; (ii) Tandem paying us $2,000,000 Canadian and (iii) Tandem entering into a joint venture agreement with us to operate the properties within 60 days of our demonstrating expenditure of $5,000,000 Canadian on exploration of the properties. In addition, we will have twenty-one (21) days from the date we notify Tandem that we have expended $5,000,000 Canadian on exploration of the properties, to negotiate a financing agreement with Tandem to provide Tandem with the $2,000,000 Canadian required to exercise the option. Should no agreement be reached in the twenty-one (21) day period, our right to provide this financing shall expire. Also, upon the closing of the acquisition, we assigned to Messrs. Ferderber and Hawkins a one (1%) percent interest in the Net Smelter Returns of the properties, half of which is payable over the first $50,000,000 Canadian in revenues from the properties. This interest in the Net Smelter Returns terminates once Ferderber and Hawkins have received, in the aggregate, $10,000,000 Canadian.





In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, Mr. Ferderber has executed an agreement with us as of June 20, 2000 which transfers mineral rights over all of the properties to us.





We entered into a Prospecting and Survey Agreement with Prospecting Geophysics Ltd. dated November 20, 2000, whereby Prospecting Geophysics Ltd. will act as the project manager for the Company’s mineral exploration operations. Peter Ferderber is the President of Prospecting Geophysics Ltd. Under the agreement, we are to pay for Mr. Ferderber’s services at a rate of $500 per day, on days that he personally attends the properties, in addition to reimbursing all expenses incurred by Prospecting Geophysics on behalf of the Company. Mr. Ferderber anticipates attending the properties approximately five to seven days every month. Prospecting Geophysics is required under the agreement to conduct prospecting and surveying activities on our behalf. The agreement has a term of eighteen (18) months with automatic renewal unless either party gives 30 days’ notice of its intent to terminate. During the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the periods from April 24, 2000 (date of inception) to December 31, 2006, we incurred exploration costs by Prospecting Geophysics Ltd. of $0 Canadian, $0 Canadian and $3,992,022Canadian, respectively. In addition, the Company owed Prospecting Geophysics Ltd. $1,500,000 Canadian at December 31, 2006.
