FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002





PART I. - FINANCIAL INFORMATION



The Registrant falls within the provisions of Rule 13a-13(c)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and claims exemption thereunder from the requirement to file Part I.



PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION



Items deleted are not applicable



Item 2.  Changes in Securities



In June, 2002 the Company conducted a private placement of 370,000 units of common stock at a price of $0.10 per unit. Each unit consisted of one share of no par value common stock and one common stock purchase warrant exercisable until June 10, 2003 to purchase one share of common stock at a price of $0.20 per share. A fee of $2,000 was paid in connection with the sale of the shares. The net proceeds to the Company were $35,000.



The shares were sold to four persons, each of whom was an accredited investor. None of the shares were offered by means of advertising or general solicitation. Each of the sales was made pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D. Each of the certificates issued in connection with the above offering contained restrictive language on its face and each certificate had a restrictive legend evidencing the fact that the shares were not freely transferable.



Item 5.  Other Information



On August 12, 2002 the Company acquired controlling ownership of the Rock Lake silver-copper deposit in Sanders County, Montana.  The Company received a quitclaim deed from Noranda Minerals Corp., which has elected to withdraw from the project. The patented mining claims control the mineralization, formerly investigated as the Montanore Project.



Widely spaced drilling has encountered substantial silver-copper mineralization over an area measuring more than 12,000 feet long and averaging 3,000 feet in width.  An Environmental Impact Statement estimated a resource of 135 million tons containing 261 million ounces of silver and 2 billion pounds of copper. Although Rock Lake represents one of the largest silver deposits in the world, it is thought to be sub-economic at todays depressed metals prices. Considerable additional development work needs to be carried out on the deposit and the company is assessing alternative plans, with the goal of maximizing shareholder value.
