WESTERN SIERRA MINING CORP.AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANYNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSSEPTEMBER 30, 2008

NOTE 1 -Organization and Basis of Presentation

Western Sierra Mining Corp. ("Western Sierra", "the Company", "we" or "us")(formerly Global Decs Corp.) was formed in 1907 in the State of Utah to engage in gold and other precious mineral mining. The Company is an exploration stage enterprise.

On December 1, 2003 we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Western Sierra, Inc., whereby Western Sierra, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Western Sierra Mining Corp. The agreement provided for the exchange of 20,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for 4,000,000 shares or 100% of the outstanding common stock of Western Sierra, Inc. The shareholders of Western Sierra, Inc. owned approximately 90% of the stock of Western Sierra Mining Corp. after consummation of the transaction. Western Sierra, Inc. was subsequently dissolved and all operations transferred into Western Sierra Mining Corp.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying balance sheets and related interim statements of income, cash flows, and stockholders equity, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Actual results and outcomes may differ from managements estimates and assumptions.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in the December 31, 2007 Form 10-K. For presentation purposes, certain balances contained in these notes that are either unchanged or immaterially changed for the period presented are reflected as of the previous year end, December 31, 2007.

NOTE 2 -Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers those short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents.

Mining, Milling and Other Property and Equipment

Mining, milling and other property and equipment is reported at cost. It is the Company's policy to capitalize costs incurred to improve and develop the mining properties. General exploration costs and costs to maintain rights and leases are expensed as incurred. Management periodically reviews the recoverability of the capitalized mineral properties and mining equipment. Management takes into consideration various information including, but not limited to, historical production records taken from previous mine operations, results of exploration activities conducted to date, estimated future prices and reports and opinions of outside consultants. When it is determined that a project or property will be abandoned or its carrying value has been impaired, a provision is made for any expected loss on the project or property.

WESTERN SIERRA MINING CORP.AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANYNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSSEPTEMBER 30, 2008

Depletion of mining improvements will be computed using the units of production method. The Company has made no provision for depletion for the period from February 25, 2003 (inception) to September 30, 2008 as production had not commenced.

Provision is made for depreciation of office furniture fixtures and equipment, machinery and equipment, and building. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which are 5 to 10 years. The Company has made no provision for depreciation of the Picacho Plant in these financial statements as production has not yet commenced.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," the Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairments. Impairment losses on long-lived assets 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 then are measured by comparing the fair value of assets to their carrying amounts. The Company recognized an impairment loss of $294,798 during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 on the Picacho Plant in Sonora, Mexico.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues, if any, from sales of minerals will be recognized when earned.

Earnings Per Share

Basic (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Companys net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Companys net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. There are no such common stock equivalents outstanding as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

WESTERN SIERRA MINING CORP.AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANYNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSSEPTEMBER 30, 2008

Income Taxes

The Company records deferred income taxes using the liability method as prescribed under the provisions of SFAS No. 109. Under the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. An allowance is recorded, based upon currently available information, when it is more likely than not that any or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The provision for income taxes includes taxes currently payable, if any, plus the net change during the year in deferred tax assets and liabilities recorded by the Company

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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures 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 these estimates.

Environmental Remediation Costs

Environmental remediation costs are accrued based on estimates of known environmental remediation exposure. Such accruals are recorded even if significant uncertainties exist over the ultimate cost of the remediation. It is reasonably possible that the Company's estimates of reclamation liabilities, if any, could change as a result of changes in regulations, extent of environmental remediation required, means of reclamation or cost estimates. Ongoing environmental compliance costs, including maintenance and monitoring costs, are expensed as incurred. There were no environmental remediation costs accrued at September 30, 2008.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts-and interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60. SFAS No. 163 clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement of premium revenue and claims liabilities. This statement also requires expanded disclosures about financial guarantee insurance contracts. SFAS No. 163 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. SFAS No. 163 has no effect on the Companys financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162 sets forth the level of authority to a given accounting pronouncement or document by category. Where there might be conflicting guidance between two categories, the more authoritative category will prevail. SFAS No. 162 will become effective 60 days after the SEC approves the PCAOBs amendments to AU Section 411 of the AICPA Professional Standards. SFAS No.

WESTERN SIERRA MINING CORP.AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANYNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSSEPTEMBER 30, 2008

162 has no effect on the Companys financial position, statements of operations, or cash flows at this time.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. This standard requires companies to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has not yet adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161, but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110 regarding the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB 107), in developing an estimate of expected term of "plain vanilla" share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment. In particular, the staff indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a company's election to use the simplified method, regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates of expected term. At the time SAB 107 was issued, the staff believed that more detailed external information about employee exercise behavior (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry and/or other categories of companies) would, over time, become readily available to companies. Therefore, the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect a company to use the simplified method for share option grants after December 31, 2007. The staff understands that such detailed information about employee exercise behavior may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company currently uses the simplified method for plain vanilla share options and warrants, and will assess the impact of SAB 110 for fiscal year 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of ARB No. 51. This statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. Before this statement was issued, limited guidance existed for reporting noncontrolling interests. As a result, considerable diversity in practice existed. So-called minority interests were reported in the consolidated statement of financial position as liabilities or in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. This statement improves comparability by eliminating that diversity. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (that is, January 1, 2009, for entities with calendar year-ends). Earlier adoption is prohibited. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related Statement 141 (revised 2007). The Company will adopt this Statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB, issued FAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations. This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, but retains the fundamental requirements in

WESTERN SIERRA MINING CORP.AN EXPLORATION STAGE COMPANYNOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTSSEPTEMBER 30, 2008

Statement 141. This Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: (a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; (b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; and (c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The effective date of this statement is the same as that of the related FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company will adopt this statement beginning March 1, 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB, issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and LiabilitiesIncluding an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This option is available to all entities. Most of the provisions in FAS 159 are elective; however, an amendment to FAS 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities applies to all entities with available for sale or trading securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that do not report net income. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 159 beginning March 1, 2008 and is currently evaluating the potential impact the adoption of this pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the Board having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this statement does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of this statement will change current practice. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The Company will adopt this statement March 1, 2008, and it is not believed that this will have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3 -Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Companys assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of business. Through September 30, 2008, the Company had incurred cumulative losses of $4,815,971 and negative working capital of $70,642 as of September 30, 2008. The Companys successful transition from an exploration stage company to attaining profitable operations is dependent upon obtaining financing adequate to fulfill its exploration activities, development of its properties and achieving a level of revenues adequate to support the Companys cost structure. Managements plan of operations anticipates that the cash requirements for the next twelve months will be met by obtaining capital contributions through the sale of its common stock and cash flows from operations. There is no assurance that the company will be able to implement the plan.

NOTE 4 -Stockholders Equity

At various stages in the Companys development we have issued shares of common stock, valued at fair market value, for services or assets with a corresponding charge to operations or property and equipment. In accordance with SFAS 123, these transactions, except for stock issued to employees, have been recorded on the Companys books at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the common stock issued, whichever is more reliably measured. The following equity transactions were recorded:

2003:We issued 5,695,240 shares to founders for organization costs totaling $14,239.We issued 1,686,466 shares for cash consideration totaling $843,233 of which $29,400 was subscribed but not paid as of December 31, 2003.We issued 206,866 shares for purchase of vehicles and equipment totaling $103,433. 
We issued 345,016 shares for employee compensation and expenses totaling $172,508.On March 12, 2003 two individuals advanced us a total of $100,183. These advances were converted to common stock on August 30, 2003 at a rate of one share for each $1.00 advanced to us for a total of 200,366 shares. We also issued an additional 66,412 shares in payment of interest on the advances valued at $33,206.

On December 1, 2003 we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Western Sierra, Inc. whereby Western Sierra, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Western Sierra Mining Corp. (formerly Global Decs Corp.). The agreement provided for the exchange of 20,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for 4,000,000 shares of common stock of Western Sierra, Inc. The shareholders of Western Sierra, Inc. owned approximately 90% of the stock of Western Sierra Mining Corp. after consummation of the transaction. The exchange was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Accordingly, the combination of the two companies is recorded as a recapitalization of Western Sierra Inc., pursuant to which Western Sierra, Inc. is treated as the continuing entity. In accordance with the agreement, the board of directors of Western Sierra Mining Corp. authorized an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the corporation to from Global Decs Corp. to Western Sierra Mining Corp. As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, Western Sierra, Inc. has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Western Sierra Mining Corp.

NOTE 5 -Acquisition of Mining PropertyGold Basin Mine:

On September 15, 2008, the Company signed a lease option agreement for the Gold Basin Mine with Pine Creek Mining. The Gold Basin Mine is comprised of four mining claims located on 332 acres in Central Arizona. Total proven gold reserves for the mine exceed 150,000 ounces with additional probable and indicated gold reserves of 400,000 ounces. Western Sierra has an option to purchase the mine which it may pursue pending results of the testing currently being explored by the Company. The testing, expected to take two to three weeks, is being done in conjunction with previous documented data collected and reported by outside and independent geologists over a sixty-year period in order to provide the Company with direction for initial production.

Bluebell/DeSoto:

On September 7, 2008, we entered into an agreement with the owners of the Blue Bell and De Soto mines located on the southeastern slopes of the Bradshaw Mountains in central Arizona. The agreement provides the Company a two year lease with a fixed price option to purchase the property for $2,000,000. The properties combined have in excess of 550 acres of patented (free and clear) land. Both mines have previously produced gold, silver and copper. The Company intends to construct a small hard rock gold/silver recovery plant on this site to provide a central location for processing material from the Sun Gold, Oro Cache and other mines the Company owns nearby. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company will begin an evaluation of the Blue Bell and De Soto mines. Although these mines were closed in the early 1940s, substantial geological information exists as well as production records. These geological reports, prepared during and since that period indicating various amounts of reserves of silver, copper and gold will enable the Company to make estimates as to any proven, probable or indicated reserves for these minerals.

Gold River Mines:

On May 5, 2008, the Company acquired eight mining properties from Gold River Exploration Inc. in exchange for 56,555,166 shares of the Companys common stock and $50,000 in cash. The mines have a total of 102,000 oz. proven gold reserves, 593,000 oz. proven silver reserves, 423,000 oz. probable/indicated gold reserves and 362,000 oz. probable/indicated silver reserves. At $800/oz. gold and $12/oz. silver, the proven gold reserves total $81,000,000, the proven silver reserves total $8,000,000, the probable/indicated gold reserves total $358,000,000 and the probable/indicated silver reserves total $6,000,000. SFAS 123 specifies that this transaction be recorded on the Companys books at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the common stock issued, whichever is more reliably measured at the date of the transaction. Since the Companys stock had little or no activity in the six months preceding the date of the acquisition of the mining properties and since the reserves on the mining properties are well documented and certified by a licensed geologist, the Company has determined that the acquisition should be valued and recorded on the books based on the discounted value of the reserves in accordance with SFAS 123. The Company has therefore calculated the net value of the reserves, net of estimated production costs and discounted over the recovery period and to reflect uncertainties, to be $18,530,408.

Mud Springs:

On July 27, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with ASDI, LLC, (ASDI), whereby the Company obtained the rights to mine barite and placer gold on certain mineral claims owned by ASDI located in Crescent Valley, Nevada, hereafter referred to as Mud Springs., in exchange for a total of 20,522,634 shares of the Companys common stock valued at $.075 per share for a total of $1,539,137. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay ASDI a royalty of $5.00 per tone for each ton of barite mined and delivered. The Company will also pay ASDI 25% of the net profits from production from all placer gold removed from the Mud Springs property. SFAS 123 specifies that this transaction be recorded on the Companys books at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the common stock issued, whichever is more reliably measured. It was determined that the Companys stock, based on recent sales and market activity, was more reliably measured as of the date of the acquisition than the consideration received.

NOTE 9 -Lawsuit

On January 9, 2007, Stephan Stephanoff filed a lawsuit against the Company and Mr. Chaffee, among other defendants, in the Superior Court of California, County of Riverside. Mr. Stephanoff claims that the Company and Mr. Chaffee, along with the other named Defendants, committed fraud by failing to make payments to Mr. Stephanoff for two pieces of property in which he claims to have an interest. The complaint also alleges that the defendants converted these two pieces of property for their own use and seeks damages in an amount to be proven at trial. The Company intends to vigorously defendant itself and Mr. Chaffee against claims which management believes are baseless. Based on these beliefs, Management feels that its total exposure in this matter will equal the legal fees expended for defense against these claims.

NOTE 10 -Income Taxes

The Company has adopted FASB 109 to account for income taxes. The Company currently has no issue that creates timing differences that would mandate deferred tax expense. Net operating losses would create possible tax assets in future years. Due to the uncertainty as to the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards, an evaluation allowance has been made to the extent of any tax benefit that net operating losses may generate. No provision for income taxes has been recorded due to the net operating loss carryforward of $4,209,642 as of December 31, 2007 that will be offset against further taxable income. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements.

This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our plans, objectives, goals, strategies and financial performance. Our actual results could differ materially from the results anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of factors set forth under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations- Cautionary Statement for forward-Looking Information and elsewhere in this report. Unless the context otherwise requires, Western, the Company, we our and us refer to Western Sierra Mining Corp.

Results of Operations

Gold Basin Mine

On September 15, 2008, the Company signed a lease option agreement for the Gold Basin Mine with Pine Creek Mining. The Gold Basin Mine is comprised of four mining claims located on 332 acres in Central Arizona. Total proven gold reserves for the mine exceed 150,000 ounces with additional probable and indicated gold reserves of 400,000 ounces. Western Sierra has an option to purchase the mine which it may pursue pending results of the testing currently being explored by the Company. The testing, expected to take two to three weeks, is being done in conjunction with previous documented data collected and reported by outside and independent geologists over a sixty-year period in order to provide the Company with direction for initial production to begin in November, 2008.

Bluebell/DeSoto

On September 7, 2008, we entered into an agreement with the owners of the Blue Bell and De Soto mines located on the southeastern slopes of the Bradshaw Mountains in central Arizona. The agreement provides the Company a two-year lease with a fixed price option to purchase the property for $2,000,000. The combined properties have in excess of 550 acres of patented (free and clear) land. Both mines have previously produced gold, silver and copper. The Company intends to construct a small hard rock gold/silver recovery plant on this site to provide a central location for processing material from the Sun Gold, Oro Cache and other mines the Company owns nearby.

Although these mines were closed in the early 1940s, substantial geological information exists as well as production records. These geological reports, prepared during and since that period indicating various amounts of reserves of silver, copper and gold will enable the Company to make estimates as to any proven, probable or indicated reserves for these minerals.

Gold River Mines

On May 5, 2008, the Company acquired eight mining properties from Gold River Exploration Inc. in exchange for 56,555,166 shares of the Companys common stock and $50,000 in cash. The mines have a total of 102,000 oz. proven gold reserves, 593,000 oz. proven silver reserves, 423,000 oz. probable/indicated gold reserves and 362,000 oz. probable/indicated silver reserves. At $800/oz. gold and $12/oz. silver, the proven gold reserves total $81,000,000, the proven silver reserves total $8,000,000, the probable/indicated gold reserves total $358,000,000 and the probable/indicated silver reserves total $6,000,000. The Company intends to process the

hard rock ore coming from these mines on a central mill site yet to be located. Phase one will construct a hard rock pilot plant on the patented property. Phase two will expand the plant and significantly increase production.

Mud Springs

On July 27, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with ASDI, LLC, (ASDI), whereby the Company obtained the rights to mine barite and placer gold on certain mineral claims owned by ASDI located in Crescent Valley, Nevada, hereafter referred to as Mud Springs., in exchange for a total of 20,522,634 shares of the Companys common stock valued at $.075 per share for a total of $1,539,137. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will pay ASDI a royalty of $5.00 per tone for each ton of barite mined and delivered. The Company will also pay ASDI 25% of the net profits from production from all placer gold removed from the Mud Springs property.

Need For Additional Financing.The Company has very limited funds, and such funds may not be adequate to put the gold Basin mine into production, complete our evaluation of the Bluebell/DeSoto reserves and construct our mill site for the Gold River Mines, nor to develop any additional concessions that we may be able to acquire. We plan to use the cash flow from the contract mining to construct these facilities and to ensure the development of Gold Basin, Bluebell/DeSoto and Gold River. In the event there is any delay in the operation of these plants or for any reason they do not provide the income expected, we would need to seek outside capital to complete these projects. Even with the best possible outcome at Gold Basin, Bluebell/DeSoto and Gold River, the ultimate success of the Company may depend upon our ability to raise additional capital. The Company has not investigated the availability, source, or terms that might govern the acquisition of additional capital and will not do so until we can determines a need for additional financing. If additional capital is needed, there is no assurance that funds will be available from any source or, if available, that they can be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company. If not available, the Company's operations will be limited to those that can be financed with its modest capital.

Revenues

We generated $8,000 in mine evaluation revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 2008. We generated no revenues from mining operations during the quarter ended September 30, 2008.Net Income (Loss)

Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $122,299 of which $106,000 was non-cash related resulting in a cash cost of $122,299. Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $59,795 of which $0 was non-cash related resulting in a cash cost of $59,795.

As of September 30, 2008, we had negative working capital of approximately $70,642.

There is no assurance whatsoever that we will generate any operating revenues during the fourth quarter of 2008 or that any of our proposed plans to raise capital and otherwise fund operations will prove successful. Our inability to obtain sufficient funding will delay our planned operations or, possibly, force us to go out of business.

Litigation

The Company is not subject to any pending litigation and has no indication of any disputes arising from our current operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that constitute off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Cautionary Statement for Forward Looking Information

Some information contained in or incorporated by reference into this report on Form 10-QSB may contain "forward-looking statements," as defined in Section 21 E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. These statements include comments regarding exploration and mine development and construction plans, costs, grade, production and recovery rates, permitting, financing needs, the availability of financing on acceptable terms or other sources of funding, and the timing of additional tests, feasibility studies and environmental permitting. The use of any of the words "anticipate," "continue," "estimate," "expect," "may," "will, "project," "should," "believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify uncertainties. We believe the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable. However, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors set forth below and other factors set forth in, including the section "Issues and Uncertainties" below, or incorporated by reference into, this report.

Our forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them, including without limitation, managements examination of historical operating trends, data contained in our records and other data available from third parties. However, we cannot assure you that managements expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved or accomplished. Our forward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by or underlying the forward-looking statements contained in this report. These risks include, but are not limited to, dependence on a single mining project, our need for financing, potential delays in development of projects, imprecision of estimates, uncertainty of government subsidies, volatility of gold prices, currency fluctuations, international political instability, our significant indebtedness, risks associated with mining activities, risks of development in foreign countries, environmental and other laws and regulations, competition, our reliance upon key executives. Each of these risks and certain other uncertainties are discussed in more detail in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007. There may also

be other factors, including those discussed elsewhere in the report that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements made by or on our behalf should be considered in light of these factors.

Many of those factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. You should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this report on Form 10-QSB. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to our Company and persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this section and elsewhere in this report and on Form 10-KSB.

Gold Price Risk

The results of our operations from residual gold production are affected significantly by the market price of gold. Gold prices are influenced by numerous factors over which we have no control, including expectations with respect to the rate of inflation, the relative strength of the U.S. dollar and other currencies, interest rates, global or regional political or economic crises, demand for gold for jewelry and industrial products and sales by holders and products of gold in response to these factors.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

There were no significant changes in the Companys internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the evaluation date. Michael Chaffee, our Chief Executive Officer and Dennis Atkins, our Chief Financial Officer, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based on that evaluation, taking into account our limited resources and current business operations, they concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that all material information required to be filed in this annual report has been made known to them in a timely fashion. There have been no significant changes in internal controls, or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, subsequent to the date they completed their evaluation.
