PART I





ITEM 1.   BUSINESS





Overview





Texada Ventures Inc. (the “Company”) is engaged in the business of acquisition and exploration of mineral and resource properties.  We were incorporated on October 17, 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Our principal office is located at 491 – 9th Street, Manhattan Beach, CA, 90266.  Our phone number is 310-720-9029.  Our facsimile number is 310-374-9385.





We have acquired a 100% undivided interest in a group of mineral claims located in the Wheaton River District in the Yukon Territory, Canada that we refer to as the Peek Claims. We have not earned any revenues to date. Our plan of operation is to continue to carry out exploration work on these claims in order to ascertain whether they possess commercially exploitable mineral deposits. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that commercially viable mineral deposits exist on our claims or that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such deposits are discovered, that we will enter into further substantial exploration programs. We will not be able to determine whether or not our mineral claims contain a commercially exploitable mineral deposit, or reserve, until appropriate exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation based on that work concludes economic viability.





We generally conduct our business through verbal agreements with consultants and arms-length third parties. Our verbal agreement with our geologist includes his reviewing all of the results from the exploratory work performed upon the site and making recommendations based on those results in exchange for payments equal to the usual and customary rates received by geologists performing similar consulting services.





As a result of our failure to generate substantial revenues since our inception, we have decided to review our initial business plan in order to evaluate the progress of our mining business.  We have not attained profitable operations to date and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our plan of operation.  Following Dr. John Veltheer’s acquisition of 49% of our issued and outstanding shares and his appointment to the board of Texada in October 2006, we have decided to continue to develop our current mining business and to seek other business opportunities.





RECENT SIGNIFICANT CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS




We have experienced the following significant corporate developments during our fiscal year ended November 30, 2010:





Term Sheet - DIA:





On February 15, 2010, we entered into a term sheet (“DIA Term Sheet”) with Diamond Industry Associates Ltd. (“DIA”) whereby we would acquire 100% of DIA’s issued and outstanding shares or alternatively the assets and contractual obligations of DIA.  On May 30, 2010, the DIA Term Sheet was terminated.





Appointment of New President, CEO, and CFO:





On November 30, 2010, Ted R. Sharp submitted his resignation as a director of the Company and from the offices of President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.  The Company’s Board of Directors accepted Mr. Sharp’s resignation and appointed David Brow as a director of the Company and to the offices of President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.  Mr. Brow shall serve on the Company’s Board of Directors until the next special or annual meeting of shareholders, when he or his successor is elected and qualified, or until his earlier resignation or removal.  Mr. Brow shall hold the offices of President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer for an indefinite term until his successor is chosen and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal.

PLAN OF OPERATION





As a result of our failure to generate any revenues since our inception, we have not been satisfied with our initial business plan to this point.





Our current plan of operation is to continue exploration work on our mineral properties, as described below, while also seeking acquisition opportunities to acquire a company or operation which would return sufficient shareholder value.  We are currently evaluating acquisition targets in complementary industries. We cannot assure investors that we will be successful in locating a suitable acquisition target, or that our capital raising efforts will be successful given the current state of the financial markets or that we can successfully complete an acquisition.





Mineral Properties:





As described in our previous filings, we have taken a phased approach to our exploration efforts on the Peek Claims, and have received a geological report on the results of Phase III of our program with further recommendations from our geological consultant of additional activities prior to engaging in Phase IV of our plan. In his report, our geologist recommended that, prior to proceeding with Phase IV, further geological engineering should be undertaken to define the exact source areas for the known and new vein float material. Our geologist recommended reserving a total of $10,000 for a two-stage delineation program prior to commencing Phase IV of our exploration program. We proceeded with our geologist’s recommendation and completed the first phase of the delineation program during the summer exploration season of 2006. A detailed, close-spaced, soil geochemical survey over the conductors using a plugger style overburden sampling drill was recommended to locate the bed rock source of the mineralization following completion of Phase I of the delineation program.




Our decision to proceed to Phase IV of our initial exploration program will be made based on factors such as other business opportunities, the final assay results and the recommendations of our geologist, the grades of any mineralization found, the size and extent of the mineralized zones, and the strength of metal prices in international markets.  Phase IV is currently estimated to cost $120,000.  Given our current working capital situation and the costs of implementing Phase IV of our exploration program, we currently do not anticipate implementing Phase IV in the foreseeable future.  See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.




Our expenditures toward the exploration of our mineral claims may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claims and acquire new claims for new exploration. The acquisition of additional claims will be dependent upon our possessing sufficient capital resources at the time in order to purchase such claims. If no funding is available, we may be forced to abandon our operations. This assessment will include an assessment of our cash reserves after the completion of Phase III, the price of minerals and the market for financing of mineral exploration projects at the time of our assessment.




Planned Expenditures:




During the exploration stage, David Brow, our President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary, and Treasurer and Dr. Veltheer will only be devoting approximately twenty hours per week of their time to our business. We do not foresee this limited involvement as negatively impacting the Company over the next twelve months. All exploratory work on our mining properties, if any, is being performed by our geological consultant, Mr. Timmins, who contracts with appropriately experienced parties to complete work programs. However, if as a result of our acquisition efforts, the demands of our business require more business time of Mr. Brow or Dr. Veltheer, such as raising additional capital or addressing unforeseen issues with regard to our exploration efforts, they are prepared to adjust their timetable to devote more time to our business.

 We anticipate that we will require capital for the following expenses over the next twelve months relating to our continued operations:

The Company previously issued four separate 6% convertible debentures with principal amounts totaling $585,000 which were due and payable on December 31, 2008, extended to December 31, 2010. Interest is payable at the option of the Company in cash or shares. As at November 30, 2010, the Company had settled one of these convertible debentures in the principal amount of $125,000 through the issuance of 790,651 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Subsequent to the Company’s fiscal year ended November 30, 2010, the Company settled another of these convertible debentures in the principal amount $110,000 through the issuance of 670,262 shares of the Company’s common stock. Consequently, as of the date hereof, two convertible debentures in the principal amount of $350,000 remain outstanding.




The outstanding convertibles debentures are due and payable and the Company has not made any interest payments pursuant to the debentures.  The principal on these debentures may be converted at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holders, however, because we have as yet been unsuccessful in our efforts to raise equity, we do not have cash sufficient to satisfy the debentures in cash.  Absent financing, we may negotiate with the holders of the convertible debentures to extend the due dates, convert them to common stock or modify terms sufficient to remove or delay the requirement to satisfy the obligations with cash. Should we be unable to reach conversion or modification of the promissory notes on terms acceptable to us, we may be required to default on the obligations.




We also maintain our position in mining claims in our mineral property referred to as the Peek Claim.  In the event we decide to proceed with Phase IV of our exploration program, which is estimated to cost $120,000, we will need to obtain additional financing of nearly $320,000 to fund exploration, operating expenses and our working capital deficit.




As of November 30, 2010, we had a working capital deficit of $1,242,759. We do not expect our business to achieve profitability in the near future as we expect to continue to incur substantial acquisition, development and operating expenses. We will require additional funding to fund our working capital requirements. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or debt to fund our estimated general administration, exploration and other working capital requirements.




Currently, we do not have any financing arrangements in place and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing to fund our capital requirements. If we do not obtain the necessary financing, then our plan of operation will be scaled back according to the amount of funds available. The inability to raise the necessary financing will severely restrict our ability to continue exploration programs or acquisition activities as planned.

ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES




PEEK CLAIMS




We purchased a 100% interest in eight mineral claims known as the Peek Claims, located in Canada’s Yukon Territory, from Glen MacDonald of Vancouver, British Columbia, by an agreement dated November 2, 2001, for consideration of $2,500. At the time of the acquisition of the Peek Claims, we were seeking a potential high-grade gold/silver project. There was, at the time, an extensive technical file available detailing the history of exploration on the Peek Claims property. We also considered the existence of a nearby milling plant as advantageous. Mr. Timmins, P.Eng. and Mr. Laurie Stephenson, P.Eng. were involved in assisting us in the selection process.




The Yukon Quartz Mining Act (the “YQMA”) and its regulations govern the procedures involved in the location, recording and maintenance of mineral titles in the Yukon Territory. The YQMA also governs the issuance of quartz mining licenses which are long-term licenses to produce minerals. Under the YQMA, title to Yukon quartz mineral claims can only be held by individuals or Yukon corporations. Because of this regulation, Barclay McDonald, Glen MacDonald’s son, is holding the mineral claim in trust for us until we can determine whether there are significant mineral reserves on our claim. If we determine that there are significant mineral reserves on our claim we will incorporate a Yukon subsidiary to hold title to the claim and Barclay MacDonald will transfer the mineral claim to the subsidiary. The transfer will be at no cost to us other than the costs associated with the incorporation of the Yukon subsidiary.

Location, Infrastructure and Access




The Peek Claims cover a broad northwest trending ridge south of Pugh Peak (referred to locally as “Gold Hill”), extending from the Wheaton River to Hodnett Lakes. The property lies 40 km south of Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territory, at geographical coordinates 60 16’N latitude, 135 06’W longitude, see Figures 1 and 2 below. Whitehorse is a modern city with a population of 25,000, with most services available for conducting mineral exploration. Daily scheduled flights link the city with Vancouver, British Columbia, Edmonton, Alberta and Fairbanks, Alaska.






7







The Peek Claims are accessible via an all-weather gravel and paved government-maintained road system which includes a tidewater port road link to Skagway, Alaska. The claims are linked by a secondary road with the Mount Skukum gold mill approximately 12.4 miles away. The Mount Skukum gold mill is a modern gold and silver production facility that is capable of producing both doré bars and metal concentrates depending on the type of ore being processed. The mill is currently idle.





The Alaska and Klondike Highways, and the Wheaton River-Mount Skukum all-season gravel road provide access to the area. A four-wheel drive road follows Thompson Creek from the Wheaton Road to the property. Presently access to the Peek Claims is on foot, by all terrain vehicles or by helicopter because the road is closed by a slide. Further exploration of the property would require approximately $2,000 of road construction work to make the road accessible. We intend to initiate road construction work to make the road accessible prior to commencing Phase IV of our recommended exploration program, as described below.

Physiography, Climate and Vegetation




The Wheaton River district lies in the Boundary Ranges of the Coast Mountains, a rolling uplands area featuring prominent peaks and steep-walled stream and river valleys. Glacial action has modified major river valleys to deep U-shaped drainages with terrace and outwash deposits. Topographically, the area becomes progressively more severe to the southwest, culminating in mountains and ice fields at the headwaters of the Wheaton and Watson Rivers.





A maximum elevation of 6,069 feet is reached on the Peek Claims while the lowest lying feature nearby is Wheaton River at 2,900 feet. The claims cover a barren northwest-trending ridge extending from the Wheaton River to Hodnett Lakes. Outcrop is common on steep slopes descending from the rounded ridge top. The effects of local alpine glaciation are evident on the northern side of Pugh Peak, where cirques and tarns are present. The upland portion of Gold Hill is a rolling grassy plain with outcrop of less than 5%. Consequently most of the geological interpretation is based upon bulldozer trenches to expose bedrock at depths of ranging from six to sixteen feet.





Southwestern Yukon has a dry sub-arctic climate, locally modified by the Pacific Ocean. Summer temperatures average 12°C and annual precipitation totals approximately sixteen inches. The exploration season lasts from May until October.





Vegetation in the upland consists of dwarf grasses, moss and lichen. Timber is restricted to the main valleys at elevations below 3,936 feet.




History of Exploration




The Peek Claims property has been progressively explored since 1983 with work to date including road construction, bulldozer trenching, grid controlled geophysical, geochemical, and geological surveying and prospecting.





The Wheaton River/Lake Bennett district was first explored by prospectors traveling along the major lakes and rivers of southwestern Yukon in the early 1890’s. More intensive exploration began in 1906 after the discovery of free gold and gold-silver tellurides on Gold Hill. Wagon roads were built along the Wheaton River, Thompson Creek and Stevens Creek to provide access to numerous adits and pits on Mount Anderson. Limited mining of high grade gold and silver bearing ore occurred on the Gold Reef vein at the northeastern end of Gold Hill and on the Becker-Cochran (Whirlwind) property on the west face of Mount Anderson.





From the mid 1920’s to the late 1960’s, little exploration of significance took place. By the 1970’s, many of the old showings were restaked as an increase in the value of base and precious metals rekindled the interest of prospectors and mining companies in the area. The Venus and Arctic mines again operated on Montana Mountain from 1969 to 1971. The Venus Mine was again rehabilitated during 1980 to 1981 and a new mill was installed at the southern end of Windy Arm, but no ore was processed.





On the area covered by the Peek Claims, recent exploration started in 1984 to 1985 when the Wheaton River Joint Venture performed prospecting, grid development, mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveys, bulldozer trenching and road building. Mineralized quartz veins and stockworks were discovered in several locations along a five kilometer long ridge on the claim property. The property was owned by the Wheaton River Syndicate from 1983 to 1986.





During 1987 and 1988, Ranger Pacific Minerals Ltd. and others conducted additional geochemical and geophysical surveys. Also, blast trenching work was undertaken to better define target zones previously identified and to further explore the property. The Peek Claims property was owned by Ranger Pacific Minerals Ltd. from 1987 to 1990.





During the period from 1991 to 2001, the property was owned by Glen MacDonald of Vancouver, British Columbia. From 1991 to 2001, exploration work on the property has included bulldozer trenching, road construction, geological mapping and prospecting. Exploration work conducted from 1984 to 1998 covered most of the Gold Hill area, including but not limited to, the area of the Peek Claims.






9





In 2001, we purchased a 100% interest in the Peek Claims from Glen MacDonald by way of a purchase agreement dated November 2, 2001.





Although exploratory work on the claims conducted by prior owners has indicated some potential showings of mineralization, we are uncertain as to the reliability of these prior exploration results and thus we are uncertain as to whether a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on our mineral claims. Further exploration of these mineral claims is required before a final determination as to their viability can be made.




Mineralization




Precious metal values to date have occurred on the Peek Claims in two types of quartz veins: (i) quartz veins up to 6.5 feet wide in granite and meta-sedimentary/metavolcanic rocks, and (ii) narrow quartz and/or quartz-calcite veins in limestones, quartzites and schists; and silver occurs disseminated in siliceous pyritic schist.





Quartz veins in the first group have a general northwest orientation and are continuous over long distances. The Gold Reef vein on the northwest end of Gold Hill is considered a typical example, and has been traced by underground workings, and surface pits for over 984 feet where the average width has been 5 feet.





Quartz and quartz-calcite veins appear less continuous and have more random orientations. They are generally spatially related to Eocene intrusive rocks.





Alteration and accessory minerals present around the vein systems include clays (kaolinite, alunite) black and green chalcedonic breccias, fluorite, barite, pyrite and hematite. Carbonatization is common in andesitic rocks near veins, and carbonatization and massive chloritization are present in the shear zones in andesitic rocks.





Mineralization on the Peek Claims occurs as either of the following veins and siliceous stockworks:





1.
Epithermal gold-silver veins associated with northeast-trending normal faults hosted with bi-modal calc-alkaline andesitic volcanics of the Skukum Group and associated with Eocene rhyolite porphyry dykes outside the volcanic complex.





2.
Gold-silver and telluride bearing quartz veins spatially related to the “Tally-Ho Shear Zone”, sheared and chloritized mafic volcanic rocks and nearby sheared or unsheared granitic rocks and Jurassic Laberge Group arkosic sedimentary rocks.





Compliance with Governmental Regulation




We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the exploration of minerals in the Yukon Territory. The main agency that governs the exploration of minerals in the Yukon Territory, Canada, is the Minerals Management Branch of the Yukon Department of Energy Mines and Resources.





The material legislation applicable to us is the YQMA, administered by the Minerals Management Branch. The YQMA and its regulations govern the procedures involved in the location, recording and maintenance of mineral titles in the Yukon Territory. The Government of the Yukon Territory retains freehold ownership of the land which is subject to the mineral claims.





All mineral exploration activities carried out on a mineral claim or mining lease in the Yukon must be in compliance with the Yukon Quartz Mining Land Use Regulations (the “Yukon Regulations”). The Yukon Regulations apply to all mines during exploration, development, construction, production, closure, reclamation and abandonment. Also, the Yukon Regulations contain standards for exploration activities including construction and maintenance, site preparation, drilling, trenching and work in and about a







10





water body . An annual exploration expenditure of approximately $80 per claim is required by the YQMA to maintain the claims in good standing. Alternatively an annual payment of approximately $80 per claim in lieu of work is sanctioned by the YQMA to maintain claims in good standing. Our annual cost of compliance with the YQMA is presently approximately $672 per year.





We will also have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation for all exploration work undertaken. Reclamation is the process of bringing the land back to its natural state after completion of exploration activities. Environmental remediation refers to the physical activity of taking steps to remediate, or remedy, any environmental damage caused, i.e. refilling trenches after sampling or cleaning up fuel spills.





Recommendation of Geological Report and Geological Exploration Program




In June 2002, we hired Mr. W. Timmins, P.Eng to provide an initial Geological Report on the Peek Claims. Mr. Timmins has 39 years experience as a consulting geologist. He graduated from the Provincial Institute of Mining in Haileybury, Ontario, Canada in 1956 and attended Michigan Technological University from 1962 to 1965. He has been a licensed professional Engineer (Geology) in British Columbia since 1969. The purpose of this report was to evaluate the area of the claim group, and the prior exploration work conducted on the claims, and to recommend an exploration program. This review was based upon previous explorations performed on the Peek Claims, including soil geochemical and electromagnetic surveys, geological mapping, bulldozer and blast trenching and underground drifting. Mr. Timmins is familiar with the Peek Claims, having consulted on exploration programs conducted there during the 1980’s and later visited the property in 1999 and 2001. In his geological report, Mr. Timmins, recommended that a four phase exploration program, at an estimated cost of $140,000, be undertaken on the property to assess its potential to host high grade gold mineralization within quartz and sulphide veins. The four phase program consists of the following:





Phase

Status
CostPhase I
Compilation of previous exploration data,

and geological analysis of the data.
Completed in August 2002.

$5,000Phase IV
Test diamond drilling (to 1,200 metres) of the targets delineated within the potential exploration sites.
To be determined subject to availability of exploration funds and the results of exploratory work.
$120,000





Contingent upon favorable results of Phase I and Phase II of our geological exploration program, Mr. Timmins recommended a further Phase III program of geological mapping, geophysical surveying and sampling, to select targets for the Phase IV drilling program consisting of 1,200 metres (approximately 3,936 feet) of diamond drilling, again contingent upon favorable results of Phase III. A Phase IV drilling program would be dependent upon a number of factors such as the geologists’ recommendations based upon previous phases and our available funds. See “Present Condition of the Property and Current State of Exploration” below.





The projected costs of each phase of our exploration program included provision for mobilization and support costs. The expenditures made by us in the exploration of our mineral claim may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions





11





are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claim and acquire new claims for new exploration. The acquisition of additional claims will be dependent upon our possessing sufficient capital resources at the time in order to purchase such claims. If no funding is available, we may be forced to abandon our operations.





We have complete Phases I through III of the recommended exploration program.  In the event that we proceed with Phase IV, we intend to implement a drilling program which will target any mineralized zones or zones of interest identified in earlier phases’ exploration results. The results of any drilling will be used to assess whether further geological exploration and drilling of identified mineralized areas is warranted. The funding required for the drilling program and our ability to complete the drilling program is expected to be dependent on the amount of funds we have available for exploration and our exploration priorities. Completion of our planned Phase IV drilling program is estimated to cost $120,000 and is expected to include the following:





(a)

Hiring of local contractors familiar with the mining region and drill conditions to perform the drilling operations and supply the drill and all other equipment and drill technicians required to perform the drilling operations;





(b)

Oversight of drilling program by a Professional Mining Engineer or Certified Geologist;





(c)

Outside laboratory analysis, particularly for prospective lode gold;





(d)

In-house and external review of results, including any feasibility studies; and





(e)

Hiring of lab technicians.





The primary expenses related to the drilling program are expected to be labor and contract costs, including transportation and on-site support.





The number of personnel involved in the drilling is expected to be four drilling personnel and/or a foreman and geologist. All personnel are expected to be contract employees. The geologist is expected to be the onsite technical person who will be able to evaluate and direct the program. We believe these types of contract employees are readily available, if needed.





We currently do not plan to execute our Phase IV exploration strategy during fiscal 2011.





Present Condition of the Property and Current State of Exploration




In years prior to 2010, we conducted exploration activities on the Peek Claims to determine whether there is commercially exploitable gold and silver mineralization or other metals. The following is a summary of the status of our exploration program on the Peek Claims:




Summary of Phase I – Exploration Program Results




The results of our Phase I exploration program delineated three main zones of mineralization in addition to other mineralized showings that warrant additional exploration work. The three main mineralization zones identified by our geologist are described as follows:





(i)

the North grid, containing moderate gold-silver and silver-lead soil geochemical anomalies and include intense “spot” highs;





(ii)

the north end of Gold Hill which has a moderate to strong VLF-EM conductor and significant gold and silver values in quartz veins carrying galena and tetrahedrite occurring in the gully at the north end of Gold Hill and in float trains on the ridge top of Gold Hill; and




12





(iii)

the south end of Gold Hill, in which gold-silver bearing galena and tetrahedrite mineralization has been identified.





Our geologist concluded that the results of Phase I warranted a further program of exploration.





Summary of Phase II – Exploration Program Results





The second phase consisted of detailed geophysical surveys utilizing new and more sensitive geophysical techniques to enhance the data that previously existed on the claims.  Our work focused specifically upon the already known areas which our consultant had indicated may host minerals. This phase also included a detailed field examination and study of known mineral zones including localized geophysical surveys.  Phase II was completed in late 2003 and we received a geological report on the results in April, 2004.





The results of our Phase II exploration program confirmed the anomaly concerning the gold-silver bearing galena and tetrahedrite mineralization developing along the contacts on the north and south ends of Gold Hill. The anomaly was confirmed in the more detailed “vector geophysics survey” and warrants further exploration according to our geologist. Our geologist concluded that the results of Phase II confirmed that the geological review identified areas which warranted a further program of exploration. The report recommends further evaluation of data obtained from the detailed geophysical surveying, which demonstrated that the areas evaluated have a geophysical signature that could indicate an unseen depth or length extent, and recommended further geological surveying and sampling to identify and confirm targets for the Phase IV drilling.





Summary of Phase III – Exploration Program Results





In 2005, our geologist visited the Peek Claims property to conduct testing on areas of interest indicated by Phase II of our geological program for prospective gold-silver mineralization. New showings were located and sampled. The samples were submitted for analysis and we received our geologist’s report with the assay result of Phase III in April 2006.





According to the Phase III report, during the 2005 exploration season, our geologist completed detailed prospecting and geological investigation of a portion of the claims with geophysical anomalies identified during 2003. Samples of vein material present as “float” were collected, reviewed and submitted for geochemical analysis. Our geologist confirmed that the original epithermal vein systems contained copper, whereas the 2005 discovery contained copper in silver-deficient chalcopyrite. Six samples returned copper values ranging from 1,030 parts per million (ppm) (0.100%) to 4,974 ppm (0.497%) while two samples contained trace amounts.





In April 2006, we received the geological report on the results of Phase III of our 2005 exploration program. During the 2005 exploration season we completed detailed prospecting and geological investigation of a portion of the claims with geophysical anomalies identified during 2003. Samples of vein material present as “float” were collected, reviewed and submitted for geochemical analysis. Our geologist concluded that these results confirm earlier sample analyses by Texada and others. Prior to proceeding with Phase IV, our geologist recommends further geological engineering on the Peek Claims properties to define the exact source areas for the known and new vein float material because frost action may have moved the vein material further than originally assumed. Our geologist recommends a total of $10,000 to be reserved for a two stage delineation program.





During the summer exploration season of 2006, we proceeded with the first phase of the delineation program. A field crew selected one of the sample sites and excavated a pit nearby, upslope, to examine the soil profile and suggest where the bedrock source for the float might occur. Boulder-rich overburden was present to a depth of seven feet, including more fragments of sulphide-rich quartz. Below seven feet the ground is frozen by permafrost and the quartz vein fragments discontinued. Thus, our geologist concluded the source of the float lies further upslope and perhaps is within the geophysical conductors located earlier. A detailed, close-spaced, soil geochemical survey over the conductors using a plugger style overburden sampling drill was recommended to locate the bed rock source of the mineralization.




13





Phase IV – Exploration Program





In the event that we proceed with Phase IV of our exploration program, we will implement a drilling program expected to take place over a period of two weeks, which will target any mineralized zone or zones of interest identified in our Phase I, II and III exploration results. The results of any drilling will be used to assess whether further geological exploration and drilling of identified mineralized areas is warranted. The funding required for the drilling program and our ability to complete the drilling program will be dependent on the amount of funds we have available for exploration and our corporate priorities.





We will not be able to determine whether or not our mineral claims contain a commercially exploitable mineral deposit, or reserve, until appropriate exploratory work is done and an economic evaluation based on that work concludes economic viability.




Peek Claim Status




The Peek claims are located in the Whitehorse Mining District of Yukon Territory. The property consists of eight claims as detailed in Table 1 below. Claims such as these are administered under the provisions of the YQMA by the supervising mining recorder located in Whitehorse. An annual exploration expenditure of approximately $80 per claim is required by the YQMA to maintain the claims in good standing. Alternatively an annual payment of approximately $80 per claim in lieu of work is sanctioned by the YQMA to maintain claims in good standing. Our annual cost of compliance with the YQMA is presently approximately $672 per year.

COMPETITION





We are an exploration stage company. We compete with other mineral resource exploration and development companies for financing and for the acquisition of new mineral properties. Many of the mineral resource exploration and development companies with whom we compete have greater financial and technical resources than us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquisitions of mineral properties of merit, on exploration of their mineral properties and on development of their mineral properties. In addition, they may be able to afford greater geological expertise in the targeting and exploration of mineral properties. This competition could result in competitors having mineral properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may finance additional exploration and development. This competition could adversely impact on our ability to finance further exploration and to achieve the financing necessary for us to develop our mineral properties.





EMPLOYEES




We have no employees as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We generally conduct our business through agreements with consultants and arms-length third parties.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS





General





This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of any contingent liabilities at the financial statement date and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis the Company reviews its estimates and assumptions. The estimates were based on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results are likely to differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions, but the Company does not believe such differences will materially affect our financial position or results of operations. Critical accounting policies, the policies the Company believes are most important to the presentation of its financial statements and require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments, are outlined below in “Critical Accounting Policies,” as disclosed in this Form 10-K.

Plan of Operation




As a result of our failure to generate substantial revenues since our inception, we have not been satisfied with our initial business plan to this point. We are presently reviewing the current state of our business in detail with consultants in order to evaluate the progress of our mining business. At the present time, we intend to continue to develop our current mining business and complete an acquisition under our revised management and corporate governance structure.




Mining:




Phase I of our exploration program, which consisted of a geological review of prior exploration work on the Peek Claims, was completed in the summer of 2002 at a cost of $5,000. Phase II of the recommended geological exploration program cost $10,000 and was completed in late 2003. Based on the results of Phase II of our exploration program, we proceeded with Phase III of our exploration program which was substantially completed during the summer exploration season of 2005. On April 11, 2006, we received the geological report on the results of Phase III of our exploration program.





In his report, our geologist recommended that, prior to proceeding with Phase IV, further geological engineering should be undertaken to define the exact source areas for the known and new vein float material. Our geologist recommended reserving a total of $10,000 for a two stage delineation program prior to commencing Phase IV of our exploration program. We proceeded with our geologist’s recommendation and completed the first phase of the delineation program during the summer exploration season of 2006. A detailed, close-spaced, soil geochemical survey over the conductors using a plugger style overburden sampling drill was recommended to locate the bed rock source of the mineralization following completion of Phase I of the delineation program.





Our decision to proceed to Phase IV of our initial exploration program will be made based on factors such as the final assay results and the recommendations of our geologist, the grades of any mineralization found, the size and extent of the mineralized zones, and the strength of metal prices in international markets.





The expenditures made by us in the exploration of our mineral claims may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claims and acquire new claims for new exploration. The acquisition of additional claims will be dependent upon our possessing sufficient capital resources at the time in order to purchase such claims. If no funding is available, we may be forced to abandon our operations. This assessment will include an assessment of our cash reserves after the completion of Phase III, the price of minerals and the market for financing of mineral exploration projects at the time of our assessment.





Results of Operations





We did not earn any revenues from November 30, 2009 to November 30, 2010. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production of our mineral properties, which is not expected for several years, if at all. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our properties, or if such resources are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production of our mineral properties.





We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $161,278 for the year ended November 30, 2010 compared with $185,032 for the year ended November 30, 2009. These operating expenses included Consulting fees of $32,329, General and administrative costs of $122,613 and loss on foreign exchange activities of $6,336.  The lower operating expenses during fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009 resulted from decreased business activity related to exploring potential acquisitions. Costs during fiscal 2011 are anticipated to be consistent with those consulting and general and administrative expenses incurred in fiscal 2010.




17




We incurred a net loss in the amount of $44,914 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2010, compared to $351,966 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009. The decrease in net loss was attributable primarily to a gain on settlement of debt of $133,668 during fiscal 2010 compared to $5,890 during fiscal 2009 and the recovery on a loan receivable of $51,513 during fiscal 2010 compared to the provision of $93,160 during fiscal 2009.





Liquidity and Capital Resources




As of November 30, 2010, we had a working capital deficiency of $1,242,759. We do not expect our business to achieve profitability in the near future as we expect to continue to incur substantial development and operating expenses. We will require additional funding to fund our working capital requirements. However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or debt to fund our estimated general administration, exploration and other working capital requirements. We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding. The risky nature of this enterprise and lack of tangible assets places debt financing beyond the credit-worthiness required by most banks or typical investors of corporate debt until we locate mineral reserves on our mineral claims.





Currently, we do not have any financing arrangements in place and there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sufficient financing to fund our capital requirements. If we do not obtain the necessary financing, then our plan of operation will be scaled back according to the amount of funds available. The inability to raise the necessary financing will severely restrict our ability to continue exploration programs or acquisition activities as planned.





Our continued existence and plans for future growth depend on our ability to obtain the capital necessary to operate by the sale of equity shares. We anticipate that minimum cash requirements to fund our proposed exploration plan and continued operation will be $320,000 through November 30, 2011.





There is substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern which raises substantial doubt that a purchaser or holder of our common stock will receive a return on his or her investment. As at November 30, 2010, we had cash of $2,720, a working capital deficit of $1,242,759 and an accumulated deficit of $1,687,691, and will likely continue to incur further losses as we continue our exploration program and acquisition activities. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of our mineral properties or successfully acquiring additional properties or business opportunities.  If we cannot raise sufficient capital, we may be required to liquidate our assets, issue securities or debt on terms extremely dilutive to existing shareholders or file for bankruptcy. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.





We have not declared or paid dividends on our shares since incorporation and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.





Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements




We had no off-balance sheet transactions.

Critical Accounting Policies




We have identified our critical accounting policies, the application of which may materially affect the financial statements, either because of the significance of the financials statement item to which they relate, or because they require management’s judgment in making estimates and assumptions in measuring, at a specific point in time, events which will be settled in the future.  The critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates which management believes have the most significant effect on the financial statements are set forth below:




a)
Stock-based Compensation




The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Based Compensation, and ASC 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.




b)
Financial Instruments




ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:




Level 1: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.




Level 2: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.




Level 3: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.




Our financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, promissory notes payable and convertible debentures. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.   The Company’s convertible debentures are recorded using the amortized cost basis, with the discount amortized to interest expense over the term of the debentures.  The fair value of the convertible debentures is determined using “Level 2” inputs and approximate carrying value.




The Company has operations in Canada, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.

 19
  Adopted Accounting Pronouncements




The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.





Going concern




The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying properties, and the attainment of profitable operations. As at November 30, 2010, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,242,759, and has accumulated losses of $1,687,691 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.




As at November 30, 2010, the Company had cash of $2,720 on hand. The Company does not have sufficient funds to meet planned expenditures over the next twelve months, and will need to seek additional debt or equity financing to meet its planned expenditures.





Convertible Debenture




On April 10, 2007, the Company issued a 6% convertible debenture with a principal amount of $200,000 which was due and payable on December 31, 2008.  Interest is payable semi-annually beginning on September 30, 2007, and thereafter on March 31st and September 30th of each year, payable at the option of the Company in cash or shares. As at November 30, 2010, the Company had not made any interest payments and pursuant to the debenture has accrued default interest of 8% since September 30, 2007. The principal and accrued interest on the debenture may be converted at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.625 per share, at the option of the holder.  The Company records accretion expense over the term of the convertible debenture up to its face value of $200,000. On December 18, 2008, the Company entered into an amendment to the convertible debenture to extend the maturity date of the note from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2010.  As at November 30, 2010, $79,823 has been accreted increasing the carrying value of the convertible debenture to $199,823. As at November 30, 2010, the Company has accrued interest of $56,362.




On May 2, 2007, the Company issued a 6% convertible debenture with a principal amount of $125,000 which was due and payable on December 31, 2008. Interest is payable semi-annually beginning on September 30, 2007, and thereafter on March 31st and September 30th of each year, payable at the option of the Company in cash or shares. As at November 30, 2010, the Company had not made any interest payments and pursuant to the debenture has accrued default interest of 8% since September 30, 2007. The principal and accrued interest on the debenture may be converted at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.625 per share, at the option of the holder.  The Company records accretion expense over the term of the convertible debenture up to its face value of $125,000. On December 18, 2008, the Company entered into an amendment to the convertible debenture to extend the maturity date of the note from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2010.  On October 14, 2010, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the convertible note holder. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company settled the $125,000 convertible note and $33,130 accrued interest by issuing 790,651 shares of the Company’ common stock on November 2, 2010.




On November 19, 2007, the Company issued a 6% convertible debenture with a principal amount of $110,000 which was due and payable on December 31, 2008.  Interest is payable semi-annually beginning on May 31, 2008, and thereafter on May 31st and November 30th of each year, payable at the option of the Company in cash or shares. As at November 30, 2010, the Company had not made any interest payments





20
  and pursuant to the debenture has accrued default interest of 8% since May 31, 2008. The principal and accrued interest on the debenture may be converted at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.625 per share, at the option of the holder. The Company records accretion expense over the term of the convertible debenture up to its face value of $110,000. On December 18, 2008, the Company entered into an amendment to the convertible debenture to extend the maturity date of the note from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2010.  As at November 30, 2010, $43,668 has been accreted increasing the carrying value of the convertible debenture to $109,668. As at November 30, 2010, the Company has accrued interest of $24,052.  On October 29, 2010, the Company negotiated to settle a debt settlement agreement with the holder of the convertible note. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to settle the $110,000 convertible note and $24,052 accrued interest by issuing 670,262 shares of the Company’s common stock. It was negotiated for interest to cease accruing on October 1, 2010. On January 4, 2011, the Company issued 670,262 shares to the convertible note holder.




On March 11, 2008, the Company issued a 6% convertible debenture with a principal amount of $150,000 which was due and payable on December 31, 2008.  Interest is payable semi-annually beginning on May 31, 2008, and thereafter on May 31st and November 30th of each year, payable at the option of the Company in cash or shares. As at November 30, 2010, the Company had not made any interest payments and pursuant to the debenture has accrued default interest of 8% since May 31, 2008. The principal and accrued interest on the debenture may be converted at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.625 per share, at the option of the holder. The Company records accretion expense over the term of the convertible debenture up to its face value of $150,000. On December 18, 2008, the Company entered into an amendment to the convertible debenture to extend the maturity date of the note from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2010.  As at November 30, 2010, $59,794 has been accreted increasing the carrying value of the convertible debenture to $149,794. As at November 30 2010, the Company has accrued interest of $31,992.




In each case, the Company accounted for the embedded beneficial conversion feature in accordance with ASC 470-20 “Debt with Conversion and Other Options”.




The convertibles debentures that remain outstanding our due and payable and the Company has not made any interest payments pursuant to the debentures.  The principal on these debentures may be converted at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at the option of the holders, however, because we have as yet been unsuccessful in our efforts to raise equity, we do not have cash sufficient to satisfy the debentures in cash.  Absent financing, we may negotiate with the holders of the convertible debentures to extend the due dates, convert them to common stock or modify terms sufficient to remove or delay the requirement to satisfy the obligations with cash. Should we be unable to reach conversion or modification of the promissory notes on terms acceptable to us, we may be required to default on the obligations.




The foregoing transactions were conducted by the Company in private placements to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in off-shore transactions pursuant to an exemption from registration available under Rule 903 of Regulation S of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

(An Exploration Stage Company) as of November 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' deficit for the years then ended and accumulated for the period from October 17, 2001 (Date of Inception) to November 30, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.




We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.




In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Texada Ventures Inc. (An Exploration Company) as of November 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations, cash flows and stockholders’ deficit for the years then ended and accumulated for the period from October 17, 2001 (Date of Inception) to November 30, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.




The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency and has incurred operating losses since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also discussed in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 (An Exploration Stage Company)
 Notes to Financial Statements
 November 30, 2010
 (Expressed in US dollars)






1.
Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business





Texada Ventures Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on October 17, 2001. The Company is an Exploration Stage Company, as defined by ASC 915, Development Stage Entities. The Company’s principal business is the acquisition and exploration of oil and gas and mineral resources. The Company has not presently determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that are economically recoverable.
 
 These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never generated revenues since inception and has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends or generate earnings in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations.  As at November 30, 2010, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,242,759 and has accumulated losses of $1,687,691 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
 
 As at November 30, 2010, the Company had cash of $2,720 on hand, and for the next twelve months, management anticipates that the minimum cash requirements to fund its proposed exploration program and continued operations will be $320,000. Accordingly, the Company does not have sufficient funds to meet planned expenditures over the next twelve months, and will need to seek additional debt or equity financing to meet its planned expenditures. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient cash to fund its future exploration programs and operational expenditures.


2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 
 a)
Basus if Presentation


These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year-end is November 30.




b)
Reclassifications


Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.


c)
Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to its investment in mining and mineral claims, valuation of note receivable, stock-based compensation, and deferred income tax asset valuations. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 
 d)
Earnings (Loss) Per Share


The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing earnings (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti dilutive. As at November 30, 2010, the Company has 915,849 split-adjusted dilutive securities outstanding. At November 30, 2010 and 2009, the effect of the Company’s outstanding common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive. Accordingly, only basic EPS is presented.




e)
Mineral Property Costs


The Company is engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.  Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures. Mineral property acquisition costs are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization are not met. In the event that a mineral property is acquired through the issuance of the Company’s shares, the mineral property will be recorded at the fair value of the respective property or the fair value of common shares, whichever is more readily determinable.




When mineral properties are acquired under option agreements with future acquisition payments to be made at the sole discretion of the Company, those future payments, whether in cash or shares, are recorded only when the Company has made or is obliged to make the payment or issue the shares. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves and feasibility, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized.




f)
Stock-based Compensation


The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Based Compensation, and ASC 505-50, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.




g)
Long-lived Assets


In accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.

 h)
Cash and Cash Equivalents





The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.




i)
Financial Instruments


ASC 820,Fair Value Measurementsrequires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:




Level 1: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.




Level 2: Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.




Level 3:Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.




Our financial instruments consist principally of cash, accounts payable, amounts due to related parties, promissory notes payable and convertible debentures. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.   The Company’s convertible debentures are recorded using the amortized cost basis, with the discount amortized to interest expense over the term of the debentures.  The fair value of the convertible debentures is determined using “Level 2” inputs and approximate carrying value.




The Company has operations in Canada, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk.




Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented on the Company’s balance sheet as of November 30, 2010 as follows:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 
 j)
Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is believed more likely than not to be realized.




k)
Foreign Currency Translation


The Company’s functional and reporting currency is the United States dollar. Occasional transactions may occur in a foreign currency and the Company follows ASC 830, Foreign Currency Translation. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates of exchange in effect at the date of the transaction. Average monthly rates are used to translate revenues and expenses. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in the determination of income.




l)
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.




3.
Mineral Properties


Pursuant to an agreement dated November 2, 2001, the Company acquired a 100% interest in eight mineral claims located in the Whitehorse Mining District, Yukon Territory, Canada known as the Peek claims for $2,500. The property is being held in trust for the Company by a third party.




4.
Accrued Liability


Accrued liabilities consist of accrued interest of $180,092 (2009 - $148,113) on the convertible debentures and promissory notes payable.




5.
Related Party Transactions


a)
On September 12, 2008, Company entered into an engagement letter (see Note 11) with the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) who later resigned on November 30, 2010.  Pursuant to the agreement, the Company incurred $13,179 (2009 - $14,217) in consulting fees to a company owned and controlled by the former CEO during the year ended November 30, 2010.  As at November 30, 2010, $8,452 (2009 - $13,059) in consulting fees are owed to the former CEO. On October 20, 2010, the Company negotiated a settlement agreement with the former CEO.  Pursuant to the agreement, the Company will settle the amount owing to the former CEO by issuing 92,827 shares of the Company’s common stock. As at November 30, 2010, the shares had yet to be issued and the amounts due to the former CEO were reclassified to accounts payable.

12.
Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Income tax expense differs from the amount that would result from applying the U.S federal and state income tax rates to earnings before income taxes. The Company has a net operating loss carryforward of approximately $1,543,900 available to offset taxable income in future years which expire through fiscal 2029. Pursuant to ASC 740, the potential benefit of the net operating loss carryforward has not been recognized in the financial statements since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years.

 Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The significant components of deferred income tax assets and liabilities at November 30, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

The Company has recognized a valuation allowance for the deferred income tax asset since the Company cannot be assured that it is more likely than not that such benefit will be utilized in future years. The valuation allowance is reviewed annually. When circumstances change and which cause a change in management's judgment about the realizability of deferred income tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in current income.

ITEM 9.   CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE





There have been no disagreements between the Company and its accountants regarding any matter or accounting principles or practice or financial statement disclosures.





ITEM 9A.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES





Disclosure Controls and Procedures





At the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision of, and with the participation of, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(e) and Rule 15d – 15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer has concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, due to material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting described below, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not adequately designed and were not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports that it files or submits to the SEC under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in applicable rules and forms.





Our Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer has also determined that, due to material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting described below, the disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive / Chief Financial Officer, to allow for accurate required disclosure to be made on a timely basis.





Through the year ended November 30, 2010, and to the present, we have engaged legal counsel who is experienced and qualified to practice before the Security and Exchange Commission, who actively reviewed company events and major transactions to advise management on appropriate disclosure of those events and transactions. Additionally, Company filings with the SEC are reviewed by the Board of Directors, our management, and our SEC legal firm for proper and complete disclosure.  Management believes that appropriate improvements in control over financial reporting in the future will improve the results of its evaluation of disclosure controls.





Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting





The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting.  The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of its Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external reporting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Management evaluates the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – “Integrated Framework.”  Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer / Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of November 30, 2009 and concluded that it is ineffective in assuring that the financial reports of the Company are free from material errors or misstatements.





Management has identified three areas that contain material weaknesses and is evaluating appropriate action to remedy and remove those weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting:





●
Lack of segregation of duties of functions that contribute to the financial reporting processes. Due to the size of the Company and the associated limitations of staffing, segregation of duties issues exist in the assignment of conflicting tasks.  Management has segregated critical tasks related to cash to the extent possible; however, these conflicts may not be avoidable without adding additional manpower, which is not economically possible at this time. The Company is evaluating application of additional detective controls to mitigate this weakness.






37


●
General journal entries made during the audit.  While not large in dollar amount, these audit entries were material to the Company’s financial statements due to the very small size of the Company, and indicate that additional controls are needed to ascertain that all material transactions are posted to the Company’s financial records on a complete and timely basis. Management is evaluating application of additional detective controls in the financial reporting process.





●
Lack of an independent board of directors and an audit committee, including an independent financial expert.  The current board is composed of two members who are not independent.





As the Company is a non-accelerated filer, this Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.





Changes in internal controls over financial reporting





During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, except that effective November 30, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Ted Sharp as a director of the Company and from the offices of President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company and appointed David Brow as a director of the Company and to the offices of President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.  The resignation of Mr. Sharp and appointment of Mr. Brow is not expected to have an adverse effect on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Mr. Brow presently resides in Los Angeles, California where he is the Director of Channel Sales for Lenovo, Inc. managing a $400m channel sales organization.





Dr. John Veltheer





On September 12, 2008, Dr. Veltheer resigned his positions as our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Secretary and Treasurer, to which he was appointed September 26, 2006.  He remains on our Board of Directors. Dr. Veltheer has had experience at the executive level of a number of public and private companies over the








39





past nine years, including both established businesses and start-up ventures. From 1999 to 2000, Dr. Veltheer was president and director of SUMmedia.com Inc. (OTCCB:ISUM), a U.S. reporting company where, in addition to significant fundraising, he oversaw the running of one of the Internet’s first eCoupon portals. From 2002 to 2003, Dr. Veltheer was the president and a director of Rapidtron, Inc. (OTCBB:RPDT), a U.S. reporting company and a leading provider of Radio Frequency Smart access control and ticketing/membership systems, where he was responsible for SEC compliance and corporate governance. From 2003 to 2005, Dr. Veltheer was vice-president, business development and later chief operating officer and director of House of Brussels Chocolates, Inc. (OTCBB:HBSL), a U.S. reporting company whose primary business is gourmet chocolate wholesaling. From 2005 to September 2006, Dr. Veltheer was president and director of SES Solar Inc. (OTCBB:SESI), a U.S. reporting company, where he managed a business combination with a Swiss Solar Energy concern and associated fundraising. Dr. Veltheer remains a director of SES Solar Inc. Dr. Veltheer is currently the chief executive officer, secretary, treasurer and a director of Vecten Corporation, a startup private equity fund. Dr. Veltheer continues to serve as the president and a director of Iridium Capital Inc., a private Canadian company that provides its clients with start-up consulting services. Dr. Veltheer received his B.Sc. Chemistry (Honours) from Queen’s University in 1988 and his Ph.D. (Chemistry) from the University of British Columbia in 1993.  Dr. John Veltheer provides management consulting to the Company on a contract basis. We have agreed to pay Dr. Veltheer $4,000 per month in consideration of management consulting provided to the Company. Dr. Veltheer does not receive any salary in his capacity as an officer or director of the Company.




Arrangements between Officers and Directors




To our knowledge, there is no arrangement or understanding between any of our executive officers and any other person, including directors, pursuant to which the officer was selected to serve as an officer.




Family Relationships




None of our executive officers are related by blood, marriage, or adoption to any other director, executive officer, or other key employees.




Legal Proceedings




We are not aware of any material legal proceedings to which any of our executive officers or any associate of any of our executive officers is a party adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries.




We are not aware of any of our executive officers being involved in any legal proceedings in the past ten years relating to any matters in bankruptcy, insolvency, criminal proceedings (other than traffic and other minor offenses) or being subject to any of the items set forth under Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.




Significant Employees




Neither Mr. Brow nor Dr. Veltheer has formal training as a geologist or in the technical aspects of a mineral exploration company. Accordingly, we will have to rely on the technical services of others to advise us on the managerial aspects specifically associated with a mineral exploration company. We rely on our independent geological consultant, Mr. Timmins, to make recommendations to us on work programs on our property, to hire appropriately skilled persons on a contract basis to complete work programs and to supervise, review, and report on such programs to us.




Code of Ethics




We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our officers and directors which is a “code of ethics” as defined by applicable rules of the SEC.  Our Code of Ethics was attached as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 28, 2007.  A copy of such Code of Ethics will be provided to any person without charge upon written request sent to the Company at its principal address.




40
  Committees of the Board of Directors




We have no Audit, Compensation, Corporate Governance or Nominating Committee due to our small size. Our board of directors is responsible for developing our approach to corporate governance issues.




Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance




Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 requires any person who is our director or executive officer or who beneficially holds more than 10% of any class of our securities which have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, to file reports of initial ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These persons are also required under the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.




To our knowledge, based solely on our review of the copies of the Section 16(a) reports furnished to us, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of any class of our registered securities were timely complied with during the year ended November 30, 2010, except for the following reports:

Board Nominations





There have been no changes to the procedures pursuant to which shareholders may nominate directors to the board of directors of the Company.





ITEM 11.   EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION





We have no fulltime employees, including our executive officers. Our business is currently very small and does not require the services of full-time persons to executive our corporate strategies. Engaging professional consultants under part-time contracts allows us to conserve our limited cash resources while applying appropriate resources to technical and executive tasks. Our executives have been engaged and compensated as independent contractors to provide services similar to those provided by them to other companies. As we are successful in our growth strategies, our employment practices will change to more traditional employer/employee relationships as appropriate.
