ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes a number of forward-looking statements that reflect our
current views with respect to future events and financial performance.
Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: believe, expect,
estimate, anticipate, intend, project and similar expressions, or words which,
by their nature, refer to future events. You should not place undue certainty on
these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this
report. These forward-looking states are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical results or out predictions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We are still in our exploration stage and have generated no revenues to date.

We incurred operating expenses of $6,174 and $12,122 for the three months ended
August 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These expenses consisted of general
operating expenses and professional fees incurred in connection with the day to
day operation of our business and the preparation and filing of our reports with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Our net loss from inception (May 30, 2007) through August 31, 2008 was $28,667.

We have sold $80,000 in equity securities to fund our operations to date. On May
30, 2007, we issued 3,000,000 common shares at $0.005 per share or $15,000 to
our officer and director and on February 18, 2008, we issued 3,250,000 common
shares at $0.02 per share or $65,000.

The following table provides selected financial data about our company for the
quarter ended August 31, 2008.

                     Balance Sheet Data:           8/31/08
                     -------------------           -------

                     Cash                          $47,083
                     Total assets                  $51,333
                     Total liabilities             $     0
                     Shareholders' equity          $51,333

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our cash balance at August 31, 2008 was $47,083. We are an exploration stage
company and have generated no revenue to date. Management believes our current
cash balance is sufficient to fund our proposed exploration program and
operating activities over the next 12 months.

PLAN OF OPERATION

Our exploration target is to find exploitable minerals on our property. Our
success depends on achieving that target. There is the likelihood of our mineral
claims containing little or no economic mineralization or reserves of silver or

                                       7
<PAGE>
gold and other minerals. There is the possibility that our claims do not contain
any reserves and funds that we spend on exploration will be lost. Even if we
complete our current exploration program and are successful in identifying a
mineral deposit we will be required to expend substantial funds to bring our
claims to production. We are unable to assure investors we will be able to raise
the additional funds necessary to implement any future exploration or extraction
program even if mineralization is found.

Our plan of operation for the next twelve months is to complete Phase 1A - Phase
3 of the exploration program. In addition to the $25,500 we anticipate spending
for Phases 1-2 of the exploration program as outlined below (we have paid $4,250
for Phase 1 to date) we anticipate spending an additional $9,000 on general and
administrative costs and professional fees. Total expenditures over the next 12
months are expected to be approximately $35,000.

The following work program has been recommended by the consulting geologist who
prepared the geology report on our property.

PHASE 1 (COMPLETED)

Detailed prospecting, mapping and soil geochemistry.
The program is expected to take four weeks to complete
including the turnaround time on sample analyses. The

Each phase following Phase 1 is contingent upon favorable results from the
previous phase. The above program costs are management's estimates based upon
the recommendations of the professional consulting geologist and the actual
project costs may exceed our estimates.

We commenced Phase 1 of the exploration program on the claims in March 2008. The
geologist has completed the fieldwork and provided us with his report. He has
recommended a Phase 1A program consisting of some fill-in MMI soil sampling and
if positive results are obtained then we would embark on the Phase 2 exploration
program. We anticipate doing this during the fourth quarter of 2008, but have
not yet received confirmation from the geologist as to his availability to do
so. The estimated cost of this program is $8,500 and will take approximately 10
days to complete and an additional one to two months to receive the results from
the assay lab and prepare his report.

Following Phase 1A, if it proves positive, we will proceed with Phase 2. The
estimated cost of this program is $8,500 and will take approximately 10 days to
complete and an additional one to two months for the consulting geologist to
receive the results from the assay lab and prepare his report. Following Phase 2
of the exploration program, if it proves successful and we are able to raise the
necessary funds, we intend to proceed with Phase 3 of our exploration program.
The estimated cost of this program is $40,000 and will take approximately 20
days to complete and an additional one to two months for the consulting
geologist to receive the results from the assay lab and prepare his report.

We anticipate commencing the second phase of our exploration program in spring
2009 and phase 3 in summer 2009, if we are able to raise the funding. We have a
verbal agreement with James P. McLeod, P.Geo, the consulting geologist who
prepared the geology report on our claims, to retain his services for our
planned exploration program. We cannot provide investors with any assurance that
we will be able to raise sufficient funds to proceed with any work after the
exploration program if we find mineralization.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably
likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in
financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity,
capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"),
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and
forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our

                                       9
<PAGE>
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We
conducted an evaluation (the "Evaluation"), under the supervision and with the
participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer
("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures ("Disclosure Controls") as of the end of the period
covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based on
this Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our Disclosure Controls were
effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS

We have also evaluated our internal controls for financial reporting, and there
have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors
that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of their
last evaluation.

LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure
Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control
system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are
resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative
to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can
be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override
of the control.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control
system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
