Mining
Glossary





Au:
            Gold





Breccia:
            Rock
      composed of sharp-angled fragments embedded in a fine-grained
      matrix.





Deposit:
            A
      mineralized body which has been physically delineated by sufficient
      drilling, trenching, and/or underground work, and found to contain a
      sufficient average grade of metal or metals to warrant further exploration
      and/or development expenditures. Such a deposit does not qualify as a
      commercially mineable ore body or as containing reserves of ore, unless
      final legal, technical, and economic factors are
  resolved.





Hectare:
            A
      unit of area in the metric system equal to 100 acres, or 10,000 square
      meters, and the equivalent of 2.471 acres in British Imperial and U.S.
      Customary measure.





Mineralized
      material:
            Tonnage
      and grade estimate for non-reserve materials where sampling and geologic
      understanding is sufficient for classification as reserves, but that may
      not pass the economic test.





Ore:
            A
      natural aggregate of one or more minerals which, at a specified time and
      place, may be mined and sold at a profit or from which some part may be
      profitably separated.





Quartz:
            A
      common mineral, silicon dioxide, occurring in crystals and
      grains.





Stratigraphy:
            The
      arrangement of rock strata, especially as to geographic position and
      chronological order of sequence.

STATEMENTS





This

our current expectations and projections about future events and financial
trends affecting our business.  These forward-looking statements are
subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions including, among other things,
the factors discussed in this Annual Report under ITEM #3, “Key Information,
Risk Factors" and factors described in documents that we may furnish from time
to time to the Securities and Exchange Commission.





The words
"believe", "may", "estimate", "continue", "anticipate", "intend", "expect", and
similar words are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  In
light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking information, events
and circumstances discussed in this Annual Report might not
occur.  Our actual results and performance could differ substantially
from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements.  We
undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking
statements because of new information, future events or
otherwise.

3.A.3.  Exchange
Rates





In this
Annual Report, unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in
Canadian Dollars (CDN$).  The Government of Canada permits a floating
exchange rate to determine the value of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S.
Dollar (US$).





Table No.
2 sets forth the exchange rates for the Canadian Dollar at the end of each of
the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the average rates
for the period and the range of high and low rates for the
period.  The data for April 2009 and for each month during the most
recent six months is also provided.





For
purposes of this table, the rate of exchange means the noon buying rate in New
York City for cable transfers in foreign currencies as certified for customs
purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.  The table sets
forth the number of Canadian Dollars required under that formula to buy one U.S.
Dollar.  The average rate means the average of the exchange rates on
the last day of each month during the period.

3.D.  Risk
Factors





This
investment has a high degree of risk.  Before you invest you should
carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and the other
information in this prospectus.  If any of the following risks
actually occur, our business, operating results and financial condition could be
harmed and the value of our stock could go down.  This means you could
lose all or a part of your investment.

RISKS
RELATING TO OUR COMPANY





1.
            As
      only our directors, Messrs. Noland, Kehmeier, Coale and Diakiw, have
      technical training or experience in exploring for, starting, and operating
      a mine, we will have to hire qualified consultants. If we cannot locate
      qualified consultants, we may have to suspend or cease operations which
      will result in the loss of your
investment.





Only our
directors, Messrs. Noland, Kehmeier, Coale and Diakiw, have experience with
exploring for, starting, and operating a mine. Except for these four
individuals, none of our executive officers have any technical training or
experience in exploring for, starting, and operating a mine. As such, we will
have to hire qualified consultants to perform surveying and exploration of our
properties. The other executive officers and director have no direct training or
experience in these areas and as a result may not be fully aware of many of the
specific requirements related to working within the industry. Their decisions
and choices may not take into account standard engineering or managerial
approaches, mineral exploration companies commonly use. Consequently our
operations, earnings and ultimate financial success could suffer irreparable
harm due to management's lack of experience in this industry. As a result we may
have to suspend or cease operations which will result in the loss of your
investment.





2.
            Not
      all of our properties have been examined by a professional geologist or
      mining engineer and we have no known mineral reserves on any of our
      properties. Without mineral reserves we cannot generate income, and if we
      cannot generate income we will have to cease
  operations.





The GQ
property has not been examined by a professional geologist or mining
engineer.  As such, we have no known mineral reserves on our property.
Without mineral reserves, we have nothing to economically remove. If we have
nothing to economically remove from our property, we cannot generate income and
in such a situation, we will have to cease operations which will result in the
loss of your investment.

            Weather
      interruptions in the Province of British Columbia may delay our proposed
      exploration operations. Such delay will extend the time when we may be
      able to generate revenues.





Our
proposed exploration work on the GQ Property can only be performed approximately
five to six months out of the year. This is because rain and snow cause travel
to our claims to be difficult during six to seven months of the year. During the
winter, we are unable to conduct exploration operations on the GQ Property. This
could delay exploration and subsequent removal of any mineralized material,
should any be discovered. As a result of the delay in removing mineralized
material, no revenue will be generated by us, which will result in the loss of
your investment.

            Since
      Messrs. Noland, Kehmeier, Coale and Diakiw, directors of the Company, have
      other outside business activities and will only be devoting 20% of their
      time to our operations, our operations may be sporadic. This may result in
      periodic interruptions or suspensions of exploration which may result in
      the loss of your investment.





Since our
directors and executive officers have other outside business activities and will
only be devoting 20% of their time to our operations, our operations may be
sporadic and only occur at times which are convenient to Messrs. Noland,
Kehmeier, Coale and Diakiw. As a result, exploration of our properties may be
periodically interrupted or suspended.

5.
            Our
      auditors’ opinion on our December 31, 2008 financial statements includes
      an explanatory paragraph in respect of there being substantial doubt about
      our ability to continue as a going
concern.





We have
incurred a net loss of $2,521,487 for the period from August 8, 2003 (inception)
to December 31, 2008.  We anticipate generating losses for at least
the next 12 months.  Therefore, there is substantial doubt about our
ability to continue operations in the future as a going concern as described in
the Comments for US Readers on Canada – US Reporting Differences by our auditors
with respect to the financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2008.  Our financial statements do not include any adjustments
relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the
amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the
event the Company cannot continue in existence.





Our plans
to deal with this uncertainty include raising additional capital or entering
into a strategic arrangement with a third party. If we cannot continue as a
viable entity, our shareholders may lose some or all of their investment in our
company.





6.
            If
      we are unable to obtain additional funding, our business operations will
      be harmed.  Even if we do obtain additional financing our then
      existing shareholders may suffer substantial
  dilution.





We will
require additional funds to meet our obligations under our existing property
option agreements and to acquire and development interests in new properties
that we want to explore for natural mineral resources in the future. We
anticipate that we will require up to approximately CDN $128,000 to fund our
continued operations for the next twelve months. With the proceeds of $201,600
received in January 2008 from the assignment of the Margarita Property we have
sufficient cash to meet our minimum obligations for the next twelve
months.  However, in the future, or if we expand our operations in the
next twelve months,  additional capital will be required to
effectively support the operations and to otherwise implement our overall
business strategy. The inability to obtain additional capital will restrict our
ability to grow and may reduce our ability to continue to conduct business
operations.  If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we will
likely be required to curtail our development plans which could cause the
company to become dormant. Any additional equity financing may involve
substantial dilution to our then existing shareholders.





7.
            If
      we do not continue to make payments under our Property Option Agreement
      for our property, we will lose our interest in the properties as well as
      losing all monies incurred in connection with the
    properties.





We have
currently secured, under our Property Option Agreement, the right to acquire a
100% interest in the property.  Pursuant to the Option Agreement, we
may continue to exercise the option only by making a series of annual cash
payments and incurring net expenditures on the property.  See the
Property option agreement description located in the section entitled “Section
4.D - Property Plant, and Equipment” of this 20-F for a more detailed
description of the Option Agreement. If we do not make the required payments or
incur the required expenditures in accordance with the Option Agreement we will
lose our option to purchase the respective property and may not be able to
continue to execute our business objectives if we are unable to find an
alternate exploration interest.  Our property option agreement is
separate from any other and one agreement will not impact our rights under any
of the other agreements.





4


8.
            Because
      our business involves numerous operating hazards, we may be subject to
      claims of a significant size which would cost a significant amount of
      funds and resources to rectify. This could force us to cease our
      operations, which will cause you a loss of your
  investment.





Our
operations are subject to the usual hazards inherent in exploring for minerals,
such as general accidents, explosions, chemical exposure, and
craterings.  The occurrence of these or similar events could result in
the suspension of operations, damage to or destruction of the equipment involved
and injury or death to personnel. Operations also may be suspended because of
machinery breakdowns, abnormal climatic conditions, failure of subcontractors to
perform or supply goods or services or personnel shortages. The occurrence of
any such contingency would require us to incur additional costs and force us to
cease our operations, which will cause you a loss of your
investment.





9.
            Damage
      to the environment could also result from our operations.  If
      our business is involved in one or more of these hazards, we may be
      subject to claims of a significant size which could force us to cease our
      operations.





Mineral
resource exploration, production and related operations are subject to extensive
rules and regulations of federal, provincial, state and local
agencies.  Failure to comply with these rules and regulations can
result in substantial penalties.  Our cost of doing business may be
affected by the regulatory burden on the mineral industry since the rules and
regulations frequently are amended or interpreted.  We cannot predict
the future cost or impact of complying with these laws.





Environmental
enforcement efforts with respect to mineral operations have increased over the
years, and it is possible that regulation could expand and have a greater impact
on future mineral exploration operations.  Although our management
intends to comply with all legislation and/or actions of local, provincial,
state and federal governments, non-compliance with applicable regulatory
requirements could subject us to penalties, fines and regulatory actions, the
cost of which could harm our results of operations.  We cannot be sure
that our proposed business operations will not violate environmental laws in the
future.





Our
operations and properties are subject to extensive federal, state, provincial
and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including
the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of
materials into the environment, and relating to safety and health. These laws
and regulations may do any of the following: (i) require the acquisition of a
permit or other authorization before exploration commences, (ii) restrict the
types, quantities and concentration of various substances that can be released
into the environment in connection with exploration activities, (iii) limit or
prohibit mineral exploration on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands
and other protected areas, (iv) require remedial measures to mitigate pollution
from former operations and  (v)  impose
substantial  liabilities  for  pollution  resulting  from  our  proposed
operations.





The
exploration of mineral reserves are subject to all of the usual hazards and
risks associated with mineral exploration, which could result in damage to life
or property, environmental damage, and possible legal liability for any or all
damages. The exploration activities may be subject to prolonged disruptions due
to the weather conditions surrounding the location of the GQ
Property.  Access to our properties in Arizona is not affected by
weather.  Difficulties, such as unusual or unexpected rock formations
encountered by workers but not indicated on a map, or other conditions may be
encountered in the gathering of samples and information, and could delay our
exploration program.  Even though we are at liberty to obtain
insurance against certain risks in such amounts we deem adequate, the nature of
those risks is such that liabilities could over exceed policy limits or be
excluded from coverage.  We do not currently carry insurance to
protect against these risks and we may not obtain such insurance in the
future.  There are also risks against which we cannot, or may not
elect to insure.  The costs, which could be associated with any
liabilities, not covered by insurance or in excess of insurance coverage or
compliance with applicable laws and regulations may cause substantial delays and
require significant capital outlays, thereby hurting our financial position,
future earnings, and/or competitive positions.  We may not have enough
capital to continue operations and you will lose your investment.





5


10.
            Because
      of the speculative nature of exploration and development, there is a
      substantial risk that our business will
fail.





The search
for valuable natural resources on our properties is extremely risky as the
exploration for natural resources is a speculative venture involving substantial
risk. Few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing
mines. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions
are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration
efforts.  Because the probability of an individual prospect ever
having reserves is extremely remote, in all probability our properties do not
contain any reserves, and any funds we spent on exploration will probably be
lost. In such a case, we would be unable to complete our business
plan.





Mineral
exploration involves a high degree of risk and exploration projects are
frequently unsuccessful.  To the extent that we continue to be
involved in mineral exploration, the long-term success of our operations will be
related to the cost and success of our exploration programs. The risks
associated with mineral exploration include:





·
            the
      identification of potential mineralization  based on superficial
      analysis;





·
            the
      quality of our management and our geological and technical expertise;
      and





·
            the
      capital available for exploration and
  development.





Substantial
expenditures are required to determine if a project has economically mineable
mineralization.  It may take several years to establish proven and
probable reserves and to develop and construct mining and processing facilities.
Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are
involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration
efforts.  In such a case, we would be unable to develop our
business.





11.
            We
      may not be able to compete with current and potential exploration
      companies, some of whom have greater resources and experience than we do
      in developing mineral reserves.





The
natural resource market is intensely competitive, highly fragmented and subject
to rapid change.  We may be unable to compete successfully with our
existing competitors or with any new competitors.  We compete with
many exploration companies which have significantly greater personnel,
financial, managerial, and technical resources than we do. This competition from
other companies with greater resources and reputations may result in our failure
to maintain or expand our business.





12.
            If
      we lose the services of any of our management team we may not be able to
      continue to operate our business and may be required to cease
      operations.





We are
presently dependent to a great extent upon the experience, abilities and
continued services of Paul Noland, our Director, Chairman, President, Chief
Executive Officer and Operating Officer. Mr. Noland, who currently spends
approximately 1 day per week working on the Company’s business, has an extensive
background in the natural resource exploration industry and the loss of his
services would negatively impact our operations. If we lost the services of this
individual we would be forced to find other qualified management to assist us in
location and exploration of a property. This would be costly to us in terms of
both time and expenses.  We do not maintain an employment agreement
with Mr. Noland nor do we have key-man life insurance on him. Therefore, if we
were unable to replace the services and experience of Mr. Noland, we may be
forced to discontinue our operations.





13.
            The
      prices of metals are highly volatile and a decrease in metals prices could
      result in us incurring losses.





The
profitability of natural resource operations are directly related to the market
prices of the underlying commodities.  The market prices of metals
fluctuate significantly and are affected by a number of factors beyond our
control, including, but not limited to, the rate of inflation, the exchange rate
of the dollar to other currencies, interest rates, and global economic and
political conditions.  Price fluctuations in the metals markets from
the time development of a mine is undertaken and the time production can
commence can significantly affect the profitability of a
mine.  Accordingly, we may begin to develop a mineral property at a
time when the price of the underlying metals make such exploration economically
feasible and, subsequently, incur losses because metals prices have
decreased.  Adverse fluctuations of metals market price may force us
to curtail or cease our business operations.





14.
            Our
      principal stockholders, officers and directors own a controlling interest
      in our voting stock and investors will not have any voice in our
      management, which could result in decisions adverse to our general
      shareholders.





Our
officers and directors, in the aggregate, beneficially own approximately or have
the right to vote 72.1% of our outstanding common stock.  As a result,
these stockholders, acting together, will have the ability to control
substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval
including:





·
            election  of  our  board  of  directors;


·
            removal  of  any  of  our  directors;


·
            amendment  of  our  Articles
      of
      Incorporation  or  bylaws;  and


·
            adoption
      of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a
      merger, takeover or other business combination involving
    us.





As a
result of their ownership and positions, our directors and executive officers
collectively are able to influence all matters requiring shareholder approval,
including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate
transactions. In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our
directors and executive officers, or the prospect of these sales, could affect
the market price of our common stock if the marketplace does not orderly adjust
to the increase in shares in the market and the value of your investment in the
Company may decrease.  Management's stock ownership may discourage a
potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain
control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our
stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.





15.
            We
      are an exploration stage company and the probability that commercially
      viable deposits or "reserves" exists in the property is extremely
      remote.





We are an
exploration stage company with no known commercially viable deposits, or
"reserves" on our properties. Therefore, determination of the
existence  of  a  reserve  will  depend  on
appropriate  and  sufficient  exploration  work  and
the  evaluation  of  legal, economic, and
environmental  factors. If we fail to find a commercially viable
deposit on any of our properties our financial condition and results of
operations will suffer.  If we cannot generate income from the
properties we will have to cease operation which will result in the loss of your
investment.





16.
            We
      may not have the funds to purchase all of the supplies, manpower and
      materials we need to begin exploration which could cause us to delay or
      suspend operations.





Competition
and unforeseen limited sources of supplies in the industry could result in
occasional spot shortages of supplies, manpower and certain equipment such as
bulldozers and excavators that we might need to conduct exploration. If there is
a shortage or scarcity, we cannot compete with larger companies in the
exploration industry for supplies, manpower and equipment.  In the
event that the prices for such resources rise above our affordability levels, we
may have to delay or suspend operations.  In the event we are forced
to limit our exploration activities, we may not find any minerals, even though
our properties may contain mineralized material. Without any minerals we cannot
generate revenues and you may lose your investment.





6


17.
            Because
      of the early stage of development and the nature of our business, our
      securities are considered highly
speculative.





Our
securities must be considered highly speculative, generally because of the
nature of our business and the early stage of its development. We are engaged in
the business of exploring and, if warranted and feasible, developing natural
resource properties.  Our current properties are in the exploration
stage only and are without known reserves of natural
resources.  Accordingly, we have not generated any revenues nor have
we realized a profit from our operations to date and there is little likelihood
that we will generate any revenues or realize any profits in the short
term.  Any profitability in the future from our business will be
dependent upon locating and developing economic reserves of natural resources,
which itself is subject to numerous risk factors as set forth herein. Since we
have not generated any revenues, we will have to raise additional monies through
the sale of our equity securities or debt in order to continue our business
operations.





18.
            It
      is possible that there may be native or aboriginal claims to our property,
      which could result in us incurring additional expenses to explore our
      properties.





Although
we believe that we have the right to explore our properties, we cannot
substantiate that there are no native or aboriginal claims to the properties.
Native groups have made extensive land claims to large areas of land within
British Columbia and various parts of the United States.  The status
of such claims is uncertain, and has not been resolved despite lengthy and
expensive court proceedings.  If a native or aboriginal claim is made
to any of our properties, it would negatively affect our ability to explore this
property as we would have to incur significant legal fees protecting our right
to explore the property. We may also have to pay third parties to settle such
claims.  If it is determined that there is a legitimate claim to any
of our properties then we may be forced to return this property without adequate
consideration.  Even if there is no legal basis for such claim, the
costs involved in resolving such matter may force us to delay or curtail our
exploration completely.  When we make the application to commence our
exploration activities, representatives of Native groups will have the right to
participate in, or may be consulted in, review by regulatory authorities of our
proposed mining operations.  If this occurs, we may have to incur
additional resources and it may take longer to obtain the required
permits.





RISKS
RELATING TO OUR COMMON SHARES





19.  We
may, in the future, issue additional common shares, which would reduce
investors’ percent of ownership and may dilute our share value.





Our
Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of
common shares without par value and an unlimited number of preferred shares
without par value.  The future issuance of our unlimited authorized
common shares may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common
shares held by our then existing shareholders. We may value any common shares
issued in the future on an arbitrary basis.  The issuance of common
shares for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have
the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might
have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common shares.





7


20.  Our
common shares are subject to the "Penny Stock" Rules of the SEC and the trading
market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock
cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.





The
Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the
definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity
security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an
exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions.  For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless
exempt, the rules require:





·
            that
      a broker or dealer approve a person's  account for transactions
      in  penny  stocks;  and


·
            the
      broker or dealer  receive from the investor a
      written  agreement to
      the  transaction,  setting forth the identity and
      quantity of the
      penny  stock  to  be  purchased.





In order
to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or
dealer must:





·
            obtain
      financial information and investment experience objectives of
      the  person;  and


·
            make
      a  reasonable  determination  that  the  transactions  in
      penny stocks are  suitable  for that person and the
      person has  sufficient
      knowledge  and  experience  in  financial  matters  to
      be capable of
      evaluating  the  risks  of  transactions  in  penny  stocks.





The broker
or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock
market, which, in highlight form:





·
            sets  forth  the  basis
      on  which  the  broker  or  dealer  made
      the
  suitability  determination;  and


·
            that
      the broker or dealer received a signed,  written agreement from
      the  investor  prior  to  the  transaction.





Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the
"penny stock" rules.  This may make it more difficult for investors to
dispose of our Common shares and cause a decline in the market value of our
stock.





Disclosure
also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public
offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the
broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the
securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of
fraud in penny stock transactions.  Finally, monthly statements have
to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the
account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.





21.  We
have registered a significant number of common shares underlying our warrants
and stock options that may be available for future sale.  The sale of
these shares may depress the market price of our Common shares and shareholders
could suffer a loss on their investment.





As of June
10, 2009, we had 41,613,920 common shares issued and outstanding, warrants
outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 32,163,140 common shares and stock
options outstanding to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 common
shares.  All of these shares and those shares underlying the warrants
have been registered and may be sold without restriction.  If such
warrants are exercised in full and converted to common shares, our shareholders
may experience a decline in the price of our common shares as such common shares
are sold into the open market.  If such decline in the price of our
common shares were to materialize, shareholders could suffer a loss on their
investment.





On June
24, 2005, we registered our 2005 Stock Option plan pursuant to which stock
options were granted in 2005.  No stock options were granted in 2008,
2007 or 2006.  Such common shares underlying stock options are freely
tradable upon exercise of such options.





8


22.  There
is no current trading market for our securities and if a trading market does not
develop, purchasers of our securities may have difficulty selling their
shares.





We have
applied for admission for quotation of our securities on the OTC Bulletin Board,
and as of October 2008 have received approval to trade under the symbol
AGRUF.  There is currently no established public trading market for
our securities and an active trading market in our securities may not develop
or, if developed, may not be sustained.    If for any reason
a public trading market does not otherwise develop, purchasers of the shares may
have difficulty selling their common shares should they desire to do
so.





23.  State
securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in
which and conditions under which you can sell the Company’s common
shares.





Secondary
trading in the Company’s common stock will not be possible in any state until
the common shares are qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of
the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain
recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state.
If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the
secondary trading of, the common shares in any particular state, the common
shares could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that
state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit
secondary trading in our common shares, the liquidity for the common shares
could be significantly impacted thus causing you to realize a loss on your
investment.





24.  We
are a “foreign private issuer”, and you may not have access to the information
you could obtain about us if we were not a “foreign private
issuer”.





We are
considered a "foreign private issuer" under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. As an issuer incorporated in Canada, we will be required to prepare our
annual and interim financial statements in accordance with Canadian generally
accepted accounting principles. For purpose of our annual disclosure obligations
in the United States, we will annually file in the United States financial
statements prepared in accordance with Canadian GAAP together with a
reconciliation to US GAAP.  In addition, as a foreign private issuer
we will not have to file quarterly reports with the SEC nor will our directors,
officers and 10% stockholders be subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.
As a foreign private issuer we will not be subject to the proxy rules of Section
14 of the Exchange Act. Furthermore, Regulation FD does not apply to non-U.S.
companies and will not apply to us. Accordingly, you may not be able to obtain
information about us as you could obtain if we were not a “foreign private
issuer”.





25.  Because
we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common shares, our
stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they
sell them.





We intend
to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our
business. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common shares in
the foreseeable future.  Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders
will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell
them.





9


26.  We
may become a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, which could result in
adverse U.S. tax consequences to U.S. investors.





If we are
a “passive foreign investment company” or “PFIC” as defined in Section 1297 of
the Code, U.S. Holders will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation under one
of two alternative tax regimes at the election of each such U.S. Holder. Section
1297 of the Code defines a PFIC as a corporation that is not formed in the
United States and either (i) 75% or more of its gross income for the taxable
year is “passive income”, which generally includes interest, dividends and
certain rents and royalties or (ii) the average percentage, by fair market value
(or, if we elect, adjusted tax basis), of its assets that produce or are held
for the production of “passive income” is 50% or more. Whether we are a PFIC in
any year and the tax consequences relating to PFIC status will depend on the
composition of our income and assets, including cash. U.S. Holders should be
aware, however, that if we become a PFIC, it may not be able or willing to
satisfy record-keeping requirements that would enable U.S. Holders to make an
election to treat us as a “qualified electing fund” for purposes of one of the
two alternative tax regimes applicable to a PFIC. We strongly urge U.S. holders
or potential shareholders to consult their own tax advisor concerning the impact
of these rules on their investment in us.





27.  Because
our Company and one of our directors are located outside the United States, it
may be difficult for an investor to enforce within the United States any
judgments obtained against us or any of our officers and directors.





Our
Company and one of our directors are located outside of the United States and we
do not maintain a permanent place of business within the United
States.  In addition, one of our directors and officers are nationals
and/or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a
substantial portion of such persons' assets are located outside the United
States. As a result, it may be difficult for an investor to effect service of
process or enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against us or
our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil
liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state
thereof. In addition, there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of Canada
would recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against us
or our directors and officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of
the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof. There is even
uncertainty as to whether the Canadian courts would have jurisdiction to hear
original actions brought in Canada against us or our directors and officers
predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state
thereof.





ITEM
4.  INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY





4.A. HISTORY AND CORPORATE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMPANY





We were
formed as a corporation under the Federal laws of Canada pursuant to the Canada
Business Corporations Act on August 8, 2003. We are a natural resource
exploration stage company and anticipate acquiring, exploring, and if warranted
and feasible, developing natural resource properties.





We are a
mineral exploration company in the exploration stage, and cannot give assurance
that commercially viable minerals exist on the property.  Extensive
geological analysis of our properties will be required before we can make an
evaluation as to the economic feasibility of developing or finding valuable
resources on these grounds. We have not, as yet, identified any mineral
resources on our properties.





Taylor
Claims





On
February 18, 2004, the Company entered into a Property Option Agreement giving
the Company the exclusive right and option to acquire a 100% interest in the
Taylor Claims located in the Lillooet Mining Division in the Province of British
Columbia. The Property Option Agreement was amended on November 29,
2004.  The Company may have exercised the option by making cash
payments totalling $70,000 and incurring net expenditures on the property of at
least $525,000.  The Company paid the initial $5,000 deposit as
required under the initial Property Option Agreement.  The Company
also paid an additional $5,000 upon the signing of the amendment.  On
November 23, 2005, the Company terminated the Property Option
Agreement.

South Vulture
Property





On March
24, 2006, the Company entered into a Property Option Agreement giving the
Company the exclusive right and option to acquire a 100% interest in a mineral
exploration permit covering the South Vulture property located in Maricopa
County, Arizona.  The Company may exercise the option by making cash
payments totalling CDN $27,294 (USD $25,000) and incurring net expenditures on
the property of at least CDN $119,793 (USD $120,000) by March 24,
2010.  The Company paid the initial CDN $5,850 (USD $5,000) deposit as
required under the Property Option Agreement and made the annual payments of CDN
$5,660 (USD $5,000) and CDN $5,870 (USD $5,000) due March 24, 2008 and 2007
respectively.  On February 24, 2009, the Company terminated the
Property Option Agreement.





GQ
Property





On June 1,
2006 we entered into a property option agreement with Warner Gruenwald to
acquire a 100% interest in a property in the Province of British Columbia known
as the GQ Property.  We may exercise our option by making cash
payments totalling CDN $100,000 and incurring net expenditures of CDN $110,000
by June 1, 2010.  The Company made the $10,000 and $20,000 payment on
June 1, 2007 and 2008 respectively and also met its obligations with respect to
the minimum exploration expenditures for 2007 and 2008.





Margarita
Property





On July
14, 2006 we entered into a property option agreement with James Sorrell to
acquire a 100% interest in a property in Santa Cruz County, Arizona known as the
Margarita Property.  We made an initial payment of CDN $39,300 (USD
$35,000) upon signing the agreement and we may exercise our option by making
further cash payments totalling CDN $822,908 (USD $825,000) by May 31, 2012 and
incurring net expenditures of CDN $675,405 (USD $675,000) by May 31,
2009.  Also on July 14, 2006 in relation to the Company entering into
the Margarita Property Option Agreement, the Company entered into a Finder’s Fee
Agreement with Fred Brost under which it is estimated that if the Company makes
all of the scheduled property option payments to Mr. Sorrell, the amount paid
under the Finder’s Fee Agreement to Mr. Brost will be CDN $30,730 (USD
$31,000).





The
Company paid the initial payment of CDN $39,300 (USD $35,000) upon signing the
Margarita Property Option Agreement and paid CDN $3,930 (USD $3,500) under the
Finder’s Fee Agreement.  In addition, On May 31, 2007 the Company made
the property option payment of CDN $54,650 (USD $50,000) and the related
finders’ fee payment of CDN $5,465 (USD $5,000) and also met its obligations
with respect to the minimum exploration expenditures for 2007.





On January
29, 2008, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with Patriot Gold Corp. (“Patriot”) to assign the Company’s rights
and obligations under the Margarita Property Option Agreement to
Patriot.  Pursuant to the Agreement, Patriot assumed the rights, and
agreed to perform all of the duties and obligations, of the Company arising
under the Margarita Property Option Agreement. Simultaneous with the execution
and delivery of the Agreement, Patriot paid the Company CDN $201,600 (USD
$200,000) which amount represents the full payment and satisfaction for the
assignment to Patriot by the Company.  Included in the assignment to
Patriot were, without limitation, all sums incurred by the Company in connection
with its exploration of the Margarita Property which includes the refunding of
the reclamation bond previously paid by the Company to the Forest Service in
Arizona, all expenditure credits incurred by the Company prior to the execution
of the Agreement and all property option payments made to the Margarita
Property. In addition, as the Company also assigned all of its rights and
obligations under the Finders’ Fee Agreement to Patriot, it is no longer
required to make further payments.  Subsequent to the execution of the
Agreement, the Company did not retain any interest in the Margarita
Property.

No
commercially viable mineral deposit may exist on our mineral
claims.  Our plan of operations is to carry out geological analysis of
these claims in order to ascertain whether they possess deposits of gold or
silver.  We can provide no assurance to investors that our mineral
claims contain a commercially viable mineral deposit until appropriate
exploratory work is done and an evaluation based on that work concludes further
work programs are justified.  At this time, we definitely have no
known reserves on our mineral claims.





For the
period from August 8, 2003 (inception) to December 31, 2008, we did not generate
any revenue.





Our
principal offices are located at 11215 Jasper Avenue, Suite 505, Edmonton,
Alberta T5K 0L5; our telephone number is (780) 628-2518. We do not yet maintain
an Internet address.





4.B. BUSINESS
OVERVIEW





We are an
exploration stage company incorporated under the Canada Business Corporations
Act in British Columbia, Canada on August 8, 2003 under the name “American
Goldrush Corporation.”  Our registered office, head office and
principal place of business located at 11215 Jasper Avenue, Suite 505, Edmonton,
Alberta T5K 0L5.  Our telephone number is (780) 628-2518.





We are a
natural resource exploration stage company and anticipate acquiring, exploring,
and if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource properties. We may
seek relationships with other mineral exploration and development companies that
will allow us to exploit idle and/or undeveloped resources.





MATERIAL EFFECTS OF
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS





Mineral
resource exploration, production and related operations are subject to extensive
rules and regulations of federal, state and local agencies.  We may be
required to obtain work permits, post bonds and perform remediation work for any
physical disturbance to the land in order to comply with these
laws.  While our planned exploration program budgets for regulatory
compliance, there is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs of
doing business and prevent us from carrying out exploration
program.





Failure to
comply with these rules and regulations can result in substantial
penalties.  Our cost of doing business may be affected by the
regulatory burden on the mineral industry. We believe that compliance with the
laws will not adversely affect our business operations.





Environmental
enforcement efforts with respect to mineral operations have increased over the
years, and it is possible that regulation could expand and have a greater impact
on future mineral exploration operations.  Although our management
intends to comply with all legislation and/or actions of local, provincial,
state and federal governments, non-compliance with applicable regulatory
requirements could subject us to penalties, fines and regulatory actions, the
cost of which could harm our results of operations.  We cannot be sure
that our proposed business operations will not violate environmental laws in the
future.





ANTICIPATED CHANGES TO
FACILITIES AND EMPLOYEES





Management
of the Company anticipates no changes to either facilities or employees in the
near future.





SEASONALITY, DEPENDENCY UPON
PATENTS, LICENSES, CONTRACTS, PROCESSES, SOURCES AND AVAILIBILTY OF RAW
MATERIALS





Certain of
the Company’s properties are in remote locations and subject to significant
temperature variations and changes in working conditions.  It is not
possible to actively explore the Company’s property in British Columbia
throughout the year because seasonal changes in the weather.  If
exploration is pursued at the wrong time of year, the Company may incur
additional costs to address issues relating to the weather.





12


If we
commence drilling, shortages or an increase in cost of drilling rigs, equipment,
supplies or personnel could delay or interrupt our operations, which could
impact our financial condition and results of operations.  Drilling
activity in the geographic areas in which we conduct drilling activities may
increase, which would lead to increases in associated costs, including those
related to drilling rigs, equipment, supplies and personnel and the services and
products of other vendors to the industry. Increased drilling activity in these
areas may also decrease the availability of rigs.  We do not have any
contracts with providers of drilling rigs and, consequently we may not be able
to obtain drilling rigs when we need them.  Therefore, our drilling
and other costs may increase further and necessary equipment and services may
not be available to us at economical prices.





COMPETITION





The
mineral exploration industry is intensely competitive, highly fragmented and
subject to rapid change.  We may be unable to compete successfully
with our existing competitors or with any new competitors.  We compete
with many exploration companies which have significantly greater personnel,
financial, managerial, and technical resources than we do.  This
competition from other companies with greater resources and reputations may
result in our failure to maintain or expand our business.





4.C. ORGANIZATIONAL
STRUCTURE





The
Company is not part of a group and has no subsidiaries.





4.D. PROPERTY, PLANT AND
EQUIPMENT





CORPORATE
OFFICES





We do not
own any real property.  We currently lease our corporate headquarters
at 11215 Jasper Avenue, Suite 505, Edmonton, Alberta T5K 0L5.  We
believe that our rented properties are adequate for our current and immediately
foreseeable operating needs.  We do not have any policies regarding
investments in real estate, securities or other forms of property.





A detailed
description of the Company’s exploration properties with additional information
for the properties of major significance to the Company is outlined
below:





SOUTH VULTURE
PROPERTY





Acquisition
of Interest





On March
24, 2006, the Company executed a Property Option Agreement (the “Agreement”)
with Fred Brost (“Optionor”) granting the Company the right to a mineral
exploration permit covering mining interests in Arizona currently issued to the
Optionor.  The property, known as the South Vulture Property (the “SV
Property”), consists of an exploration permit covering approximately 560 acres
in Maricopa County, Arizona, approximately 16 miles southwest of Wickenburg,
Arizona.





The
Company may exercise the option by making cash payments totaling CDN $27,294
(USD $25,000) by March 24, 2010 and incurring net expenditures on the Property
of at least CDN $119,793 (USD $120,000) by March 24, 2010.  In order
to earn a 100% interest in the exploration permit covering the South Vulture
Property, the Company must pay Mr. Brost and incur expenditures relating to
mining operations in accordance with the following schedule:





13


The
Company must make the following payments and incur the exploration expenditures
as noted below in order to retain our interest in the South Vulture
Property:

              USD  $25,000
              USD  $120,000





The
Company paid the initial CDN $5,850 (USD $5,000) upon executing the agreement as
required under the initial Property Option Agreement and made the annual
payments of CDN $5,660 (USD $5,000) and CDN $5,870 (USD $5,000) due March 24,
2008 and 2007 respectively. The Company also met its obligation with respect to
minimum exploration expenditures for 2007.





The
Company must use Mr. Brost for his mineral exploration expertise on the SV
Property and Mr. Brost shall invoice the Company for work performed at
commercially competitive rates. All work performed on the SV Property will be
under the direction and at the discretion of the
Company.  Furthermore, both the Company and Mr. Brost have the right
to assign, sell, mortgage or pledge their rights in the Property Option
Agreement or on the SV Property. If the Company assigns or sells the SV
Property, Mr. Brost will be entitled to receive a payment equaling 5% of the
fair market value of the SV Property at the time of any such sale or
assignment.  In addition, any mineral interests staked, located,
granted or acquired by either party which is located within 2 miles of the SV
Property boundary will be included in the option granted to the
Company.





The
Agreement will terminate if the Company fails to comply with any of its
obligations in the Agreement and fails to cure such alleged breach. The Company
also has the right to terminate the Agreement by giving notice to Mr.
Brost.





We will
lose our option if we fail to make any payment according to schedule or if we
fail to incur the requisite expenditures prior to March 24 of any given year.
Any amounts paid to Mr. Brost are non-refundable.  If within 30 days
of receipt of a written notice from Fred Brost that a payment was not made in a
timely manner, we do not cure the default or give Mr. Brost notice that we deny
that such default has occurred, the option will terminate. If we give notice and
deny that a default has occurred, the option will not terminate until an Arizona
court determines that we are in default. In addition, we have the right to
terminate the Property Option Agreement at any time by giving notice of our
election to terminate.





Previous
Work





Freeport
McMoran Gold Company (“Freeport”) drilled 93 rotary-hammer holes on and
immediately adjacent to the property in 1984-1987.  Total length of
drilling was approximately 12,000 feet, with holes ranging in depth from 70 to
330 feet. This drilling indicated the presence of a large gold anomaly in
pre-Cambrian schist under an average of about 50 feet of
alluvium.  While the gold mineralization encountered was low grade,
Freeport identified a NW-trending fault running across the NE corner of the
property, with the portion of the property SW of the fault being dropped
down.  The significance of this fault, if any, is not
known.





During
2006 the Company completed a magnetic survey of the SV Property in order to help
define the intrusive boundaries of the property.  The survey covered a
rectangular area of about 1.45 km (0.9 miles) by 0.75 km (0.47 miles) and
consisted of 30 lines, approximately 0.75 km (0.47 miles) long and spaced 50
meters (164 feet) apart.  An interpretation of the data did not reveal
any specific targets but three areas were identified as being of interest for
future evaluation.





14


During
2007 the Company completed a gird-controlled Mobil Metal Ion (MMI)
survey.  A total of 180 soil samples were collected from a depth of
10-25 cm below the point at which soil formation was initiated. The samples were
taken in the southwest quarter of the property and covered an area 1,600 meters
by 1,900 meters.  Samples were bagged and shipped to SGS Laboratories
in Toronto, Ontario, Canada for analysis for the presence of 33 metallic
ions.  Analytical finish for all extractions was by inductively
coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).  Based on the results of
the MMI survey, the Company did not receive any clear direction as to potential
drill targets.  However, there was some good correlation between the
MMI study results and the location of drill holes completed by previous property
owners. The Company received a drilling budget from the property owner but did
not undertake a drill program in 2008





Termination
of Property Option Agreement





After
further review and consideration of all findings and relevant information
regarding the South Vulture Property, the Company chose to terminate the
Property Option Agreement by giving Mr. Fred Brost notice of our election to
terminate on February 24, 2009.  The Company does not maintain any
further rights, interests, or obligations in the property.





Planned
Work by the Company for 2009





The
Company does not currently have any interest in the South Vulture
Property





GQ
PROPERTY





Acquisition
of Interest





On June 1,
2006, the Company executed a Property Option Agreement with Warner Gruenwald
granting the Company the right to a 100% interest in a mineral exploration
property located in British Columbia, Canada. The property, known as the GQ
Property, consists of four claims and covers approximately 1,300 acres in the
Kamloops Mining District of British Columbia.





The
Company may exercise the option by making cash payments totaling CDN $100,000
and incurring net expenditures on the property of at least CDN $110,000 by June
1, 2010.  Minimum payments due under the Property Option Agreement are
summarized as follows:

The
Company made the $10,000 and $20,000 property payments on June 1, 2007 and 2008
respectively and also met its obligations for the minimum exploration
expenditures for 2007 and 2008.





15


The
Company must use Mr. Gruenwald for his mineral exploration expertise on the GQ
Property and he shall invoice the Company for work performed at commercially
competitive rates. All work performed on the GQ Property will be under the
direction and at the discretion of the Company.  Furthermore, both the
Company and Mr. Gruenwald have the right to assign, sell, mortgage or pledge
their rights in the Property Option Agreement or on the GQ
Property.  In addition, any mineral interests staked, located, granted
or acquired by either party that are located within two miles of the GQ Property
boundary will be included in the option granted to the Company.





The GQ
Property is subject to a 2% net smelter return (“NSR”)
royalty.  Should the Company obtain title to the GQ Property, the
Company will have the one-time right exercisable for 90 days following
completion of a bankable feasibility study to buy up to 50% of Mr. Gruenwald’s
NSR interest, an amount equal to 1% NSR, for CDN $500,000.





We will
lose our option if we fail to make any payment according to schedule or if we
fail to incur the requisite expenditures prior to June 1 of any given year. Any
amounts paid to Mr. Gruenwald are non-refundable.  If within 30 days
of receipt of a written notice from Warner Gruenwald that a payment was not made
in a timely manner, we do not cure the default or give Mr. Gruenwald notice that
we deny that such default has occurred, the option will terminate. If we give
notice and deny that a default has occurred, the option will not terminate until
and unless a single arbitrator in arbitration under the rules of The Arbitration
Act of British Columbia determines that we are in default. In addition, we have
the right to terminate the Property Option Agreement at any time by giving
notice of our election to terminate.





16


Location











The GQ
Property is located 45 kilometers west-northwest of the community of Revelstoke
in southern British Columbia.  Access is via the Trans Canada highway
between Sicamous and Revelstoke and the Gorge Creek logging road near
Malakwa.  The gravel logging roads accessing the GQ Property are
regularly maintained.





17


Claim
Status





Originally,
the GQ Property encompassed 1,298 hectares (13 km2) and was
covered by the Province of British Columbia Mining Division tenure numbers
521731, 533372, 533373, and 533374 as legally registered to Warner
Gruenwald.  During 2006, the Company added two additional claims
contiguous to the north of the GQ Property (claims 553670 and 553669) which
added 709 hectares (7.09 km2).  The
new claims form part of the GQ Property Option Agreement.  The mining
claims give the holder the right to surface rights necessary for the prospecting
and exploration for minerals.





Property
Geology





The GQ
Property is situated in the rugged terrain of the Antsey Range along the west
flank of the Monashee Mountains.  The Monashee Mountain Range is
characterized by temperate climate and moderately high
precipitation.  Winter snow packs of 3 to 5 meters are not uncommon at
higher elevations.  The GQ Property and surrounding area is located
within the metamorphic, plutonic, and sedimentary rocks of the Omineca
Belt.  The area is underlain by a thick succession of metamorphic
rocks of the Shuswap and Monashee Complexes.  The Antsey granitic
pluton and related dykes, sills, and pegmatitic bodies intrude the metamorphic
rocks.  Several northwesterly trending linears (faults) are
interpreted to transect the GQ Property.  Local scale faults and
shears usually dip steeply to the west.  Mineralization occurs as
semiconformable lenses comprised of quartz, pyroxene, scapolite and fine-grained
sulphides.  Calc-silicate proximal to granitic intrusive rocks host
the majority of mineralization.  These host rocks strike northerly and
generally dip from 50 to 60 degrees west.  The showings often display
an unusual ‘granular texture’ with infillings of pyrrhotite, pyrite, minor
chalcopyrite, and scheelite.  Sulphide content ranges from 5 to
30%.  The showings appear to occur along specific stratigraphic
horizons (i.e cal-silicate) that are likely to be laterally
extensive.





Previous
Work





Prior to
1999, there was no evidence of mineral occurrences or records of work documented
on the GQ Property.  Between September 1999 and September 2000 a work
program consisting of stream sampling, prospecting, and soil and rock sampling
was undertaken.  A total of 53 stream silt, 46 panned concentrate, and
3 moss mat samples were collected from the GQ Property.  In addition,
a total of 46 rock and 30 soil samples were collected and submitted to
ALS-Chemex Labs for analysis.  The exploration program resulted in the
discovery of new mineral showings and anomalous drainages.  Anomalous
amounts of gold, bismuth, copper, tellurium and tungsten were found to be
present on the GQ Property.  Although very limited in scope, the
exploration program demonstrated the potential for intrusion related gold
deposits.





In 2006,
the Company completed another soil and rock sampling program.  A total
of 24 rock and 108 soil samples were collected and sent to Acme Analytical Labs
for analysis.  The rock and soil samples were analyzed for 36 elements
using Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS).  The ICP-MS
technique is capable of ultra low detection limits in the parts per billion or
parts per trillion range.  The exploration program resulted in the
discovery of four new mineral showings and abundant mineralized float were
discovered.  As with prior sampling programs anomalous amounts of
gold, bismuth, copper, tellurium and tungsten were found to be present on the GQ
Property.  Evidence indicates the presence of at least four distinct
and separate mineralized calc-silicate “horizons” (SE Showing, Spur D, Spurs
A-B, and NE Showings) within a thick sequence of metamorphic
rocks.  The potential lateral and down dip extent of these horizons
along with the hydrothermal and possible mineralizing effects of the nearby
Antsey Pluton offer significant exploration potential.





18


The
Company completed a 2007 exploration program which was a follow up to the 2006
program.  The field work was conducted June 9 to 18 and September 4 to
5, 2007.  The first program consisted of grid based soil sampling and
magnetometer surveys along with prospecting, rock sampling and stream sampling
on the original claims.  The second program consisted of road based
soil sampling, prospecting, and rock sampling on the new claims acquired in
2006.  The geochemical aspect of the program covered three separate
grids totaling 5.6 kilometers consisting of chain and compass lines run at UTM
east-west orientation.  Magnetometer readings were taken at 12.5 meter
intervals over all grid lines (5.6 km) using a Geometrics G816
magnetometer.  A total of 40 rock, 318 soil, and 6 stream sediment
samples were collected and shipped to Acme Analytical Labs in Vancouver, British
Columbia, Canada.  Soil samples were analyzed for 36 elements using
ICP-MS.





The 2007
geochemical and magnetic surveys yielded similar results as those from 2006 in
that mineralization on the GQ Property occurs in four general areas on the
property. The 2007 geochemical and magnetic surveys indicated the potential for
the discovery of mineralized calc-silicate horizons in the SE Showing and Spur D
grid areas.  The known NE Showing bedrock occurrence and inferred
calc-silicate horizons in the Spur A-B also offer exploration
potential.





In 2008
the Company completed an exploration program which was a follow up to the 2007
program.  The field work was conducted in July and October
2008.  The first program consisted of grid based soil sampling in the
Spur A-B, Spur D grid and the SE areas.  The second program consisted
of bedrock trenching on Spur D and the SE areas and the construction of pads
along existing roads for future drilling.  The geochemical aspect of
the program established new, and extended existing grid lines totaling 1050
metres.  A total of 73 soil, 24 rock and 2 stream sediment samples
were collected and shipped to Acme Analytical and subsequently Assayers Canada
in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.  Soil samples were analyzed
for gold by fire assay methods and 35 elements using ICP-MS.





The 2008
geochemical work continues to demonstrate the presence and potential for the
discovery of mineralized calc-silicate horizons in several
areas.  Recent exploration points to the Spur D grid and SE area where
gold-in-soil anomalies and gold bearing float strongly suggest the presence of
more as yet undiscovered gold bearing horizons.  The known NE bedrock
occurrences and inferred calc-silicate horizons in the Spur A-B grid also offer
additional exploration potential.





Planned
Work by the Company for 2009





Exploration
on the GQ property is now to the point where drilling is warranted to explore
and delineate the known and inferred gold mineralized zones.  The
Company has been presented with a budget of $75,000 (excluding property option
payments) for the 2009 exploration program.  The proposed program will
include a 500 meter (1,640 feet) drilling program.   The Board of
Directors has not formally approved the 2009 budget but the property owner has
applied for a drilling permit in anticipation of the Company proceeding with the
proposed program.





MARGARITA
PROPERTY





Acquisition
of Interest





On July
14, 2006 the Company executed a Property Option Agreement with James Sorrell
granting the Company the right to acquire a 100% undivided interest in a mineral
exploration property covering mining interests in Arizona currently issued to
Mr. Sorrell.  The property, known as the Margarita Property,
originally consisted of 39 unpatented claims covering approximately 640 acres in
the Oro Blanco Mining District of Santa Cruz County, Arizona.





19


Also on
July 14, 2006 in relation to the Company entering into the Margarita Property
Option Agreement, the Company entered into a Finder’s Fee Agreement with Fred
Brost.  The Company has agreed to pay a fee equal to 10% of the
Property Option Payments made to James Sorrell during the first three years of
the Margarita Property Option Agreement.  It is estimated that if the
Company makes all of the scheduled property option payments to Mr. Sorrell, the
amount paid under the Finder’s Fee Agreement to Mr. Brost will be CDN $30,730
(USD $31,000).  If the Company terminates the Margarita Property
Option Agreement, the Company will not owe any further payments under the
Finder’s Fee Agreement.  If it has not been terminated earlier, the
Finder’s Fee Agreement will terminate automatically on July 14,
2009.





The
Company may exercise the option by making cash payments totaling CDN $862,208
(USD $860,000) by May 31, 2012 and incurring net expenditures on the Property of
at least CDN $675,405 (USD $675,000) by May 31, 2009.  Minimum
payments and expenditures due under the Agreement are summarized as

* In
addition to payments due under the Margarita Property Option Agreement, finder’s
fee payments of USD $3,500, USD $5,000, USD $10,000, and USD $12,500 are due
upon the execution of the agreement, May 31, 2007, 2008, and 2009 respectively
if the Company makes the respective option payment.




Simultaneous
with the execution and delivery of the Margarita Property Option Agreement, the
Company paid James Sorrell CDN $39,300 (USD $35,000) and Mr. Brost CDN $3,930
(USD $3,500).  On May 31, 2007 the Company made the property option
payment of CDN $54,650 (USD $50,000) and the related finders’ fee payment of CDN
$5,465 (USD $5,000) and also met its obligations with respect to the minimum
exploration expenditures for 2007.




Since our
payment obligations are non-refundable, if we do not make any payments, we will
lose any payments made and all our rights to the Margarita Property. If all said
payments are made, then we will acquire all mining interests in the Property
subject to a 2% Net Smelter Royalty (“NSR”) retained by the
Optionor.  Within 90 days of completion of a bankable feasibility
study, the Company may purchase the NSR from the Optionor for CDN $495,650 (USD
$500,000) for each 1% of the NSR purchased (CDN $991,300 (USD $1,000,000) for
the Optionor’s entire 2% NSR).  If the Company fails to make any
payment when due, the Margarita Property Option Agreement gives the Company a
60-day grace period to pay the amount of the deficiency.




Furthermore,
both the Company and Mr. Sorrell have the right to assign, sell, mortgage or
pledge their rights in the Margarita Property Option Agreement or on the
Margarita Property. In addition, any mineral interests staked, located, granted
or acquired by either party which are located within 5 miles of the Margarita
Property boundary will be included in the option granted to the
Company.





20


The
Agreement will terminate if the Company fails to comply with any of its
obligations in the Agreement and fails to cure such alleged breach. The Company
also has the right to terminate the Agreement by giving notice to the
Optionor.





On January
29, 2008, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with Patriot Gold Corp. (“Patriot”) to assign the Company’s rights
and obligations under the Margarita Property Option Agreement to
Patriot.  Pursuant to the Agreement, Patriot assumed the rights, and
agreed to perform all of the duties and obligations, of the Company arising
under the Margarita Property Option Agreement. Simultaneous with the execution
and delivery of the Agreement, Patriot paid the Company CDN $201,600 (USD
$200,000) which amount represents the full payment and satisfaction for the
assignment to Patriot by the Company.  Included in the assignment to
Patriot were, without limitation, all sums incurred by the Company in connection
with its exploration of the Margarita Property which includes the refunding of
the reclamation bond previously paid by the Company to the Forest Service in
Arizona, all expenditure credits incurred by the Company prior to the execution
of the Agreement and all property option payments made to the Margarita
Property. In addition, as the Company also assigned all of its rights and
obligations under the Finders’ Fee Agreement to Patriot, it is no longer
required to make further payments.  Subsequent to the execution of the
Agreement, the Company did not retain any interest in the Margarita
Property.





Claim
Status





The
Margarita Property consists of 69 unpatented claims covering approximately 1,180
acres in the Oro Blanco Mining District of Santa Cruz County,
Arizona.  The claims are within the Coronado National Forest, and are
approximately 10 miles north of the Mexican border.





Previous
Work





The
Margarita Property is centrally located within a broad area of numerous old
mines and prospects dating back to early Spanish colonial times where gold,
silver, lead and copper were mined from Mesozoic and early Tertiary igneous rock
units.  Previous work on the property appears to demonstrate the
presence of a zone at the Margarita Property of over 4,000 feet by 1,500 feet
encompassing half a million tons of altered and mineralized tuff in a flat lying
zone exhibiting gold mineralization.  The mineralization averages
between 0.05 and 0.06 troy ounces of gold per ton associated with intense
silicification and clay pyrite alteration.





The
previous work undertaken by the various explorers of the Margarita Property had
not previously been collected in one location.  During 2006, the
Company expended most of its exploration activity collecting property data from
various sources, preparing maps, and visiting the property to match the data
with physical observation.  Based on a review of all of the data
available to the Company, several possible drill targets were identified
including targets that were not located on the existing boundary of the
Margarita Property.  As a result, the Company staked an additional 30
claims.





The
Company formally approved a work plan for drilling on the Margarita
Property.  However, due to difficulties with locating a suitable
contractor to undertake the drilling and due to insufficient funds available to
the Company, the Company decided to assign its rights and obligations to the
property to Patriot Gold Corp.  Pursuant to the assignment, Patriot
assumed the rights, and agreed to perform all of the duties and obligations, of
the Company arising under the Margarita Property Option Agreement. Simultaneous
with the execution and delivery of the Agreement, Patriot paid the Company CDN
$201,600 (USD $200,000) which amount represents the full payment and
satisfaction for the assignment to Patriot by the Company.  Included
in the assignment to Patriot were, without limitation, all sums incurred by the
Company in connection with its exploration of the Margarita Property which
includes the refunding of the reclamation bond previously paid by the Company to
the Forest Service in Arizona, all expenditure credits incurred by the Company
prior to the execution of the Agreement and all property option payments made to
the Margarita Property. In addition, as the Company also assigned all of its
rights and obligations under the Finders’ Fee Agreement to Patriot, it is no
longer required to make further payments.  Subsequent to the execution
of the Agreement, the Company did not retain any interest in the Margarita
Property.

Results
of Operations of Fiscal 2008 vs. Fiscal 2007





We are a
natural resource exploration company in the exploration stage with an objective
of acquiring, exploring, and, if warranted and feasible, developing natural
resource properties.  Natural resource exploration and development
requires significant capital and our assets and resources are limited.
Therefore, we participate in the natural resource industry through the optioning
of natural resource exploration and development projects.





22


Revenue
- Cost of Revenue





We did not
earn any revenues during the years ended December 31, 2008 or
2007.  We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we
have entered into commercial production of our mineral properties. 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.





General
and Administrative Expenses





The net
loss in 2008 was $23,415 compared to $346,255 in 2007.  The decrease
in the loss of $322,840 in 2008 compared to 2007 is primarily related to the
sale of the Margarita Property, the termination of the South Vulture Property
and a reduced exploration program for the GQ Property and gifting of shares
between a former director and our current officer and director of the Company.
In 2008 the mineral property acquisition and exploration expendituresfor the Margarita
Property were ($176,228) compared to $172,777 in 2007.  The South
Vulture Property’s expenditures in 2008 were $16,171 compared to $33,852 in
2007.  The GQ Property’s expenditures were $29,372 in 2008 compared to
$45,063 in 2007.  Another factor leading to the decreased loss was a
reduction in stock-based compensation to $12,882 in 2008 from $41,107 in
2007.  On the South Vulture, the Company completed an exploration
program in 2007, but did not in 2008 as the previous results indicated the lack
of conclusive results. The property option agreement was terminated in
2009.  For the GQ Property, exploration programs were completed in
2008 and 2007.  However, the revised 2008 GQ budget was significantly
lower than originally proposed, as well as the 2007 budget.  For the
Margarita Property, due to difficulties with locating a suitable contractor to
undertake the drilling and due to insufficient funds available to the Company,
the Company decided to assign its rights and obligations to the property to
Patriot Gold Corp in January 2008.  In 2007 the Company incurred the
costs for the preparation for the planned drill program and formally approved a
work plan for drilling on the Margarita Property.   During the
year, our former director has gifted a total of 30 million of common shares of
the Company to an officer and a director of the Company with a value of
$112,130.

23


General
and Administrative Expenses





The net
loss in 2007 was $346,255 compared to $1,946,089 in 2006.  The
decrease in the loss of $1,599,834 in 2007 compared to 2006 is primarily related
to shared-based compensation expense of $1,500,000 that was recognized in 2006
but not in 2007.  The share-based compensation was recognized as a
result of one of the Company’s founders resigning and gifting his shares to our
other founder.  The gifting of the shares was not undertaken at fair
value and as a result the transaction has been recognized by the Company as a
compensation expenses.  Another factor leading to the decreased loss
was a reduction in stock-based compensation to $41,107 in 2007 from $144,478 in
2006.  No options were granted in either 2007 or 2006 but the expense
decreased due to the amortization of the expense for options granted in
2005.  The other item leading to the decreased loss in 2007 compared
to 2006 is a result of a $51,210 loss recognized by the Company as a result on
the settlement of bridge loans in January 2006.  The bridge loans were
settled with units of the Company which included common shares and
warrants.  The aggregate fair value of the units exceeded the fair
value of the loan at the time of settlement which resulted in a loss for
2006.  No such item occurred in 2007.  Additionally,
professional fees were $28,405 in 2007 compared to $56,053 in 2006. The higher
professional fees relates to the Company updating its registration statement in
2006 while the statement was not updated in 2007.





Partially
offsetting the effects of a decrease in share-based compensation, stock-based
compensation, the loss on the settlement of the bridge loans, and a reduction in
professional fees was an increase in mineral property acquisition and
exploration expenditures to $251,693 in 2007 from $163,474 in
2006.  In 2007 the Company made property option payments of $5,870
(2006 - $5,850) for the South Vulture Property, $10,000 (2006 – Nil) for the GQ
Property, and a total of $60,115 (2006 - $43,230) in relation to the Margarita
Property including the Finder’s Fee Agreement.  On the South Vulture,
the Company completed exploration programs in 2007 and 2006 with the costs being
consistent year-to-year.  For the GQ Property, exploration programs
were also completed in 2007 and 2006.  However, the 2007 GQ budget was
significantly higher than the 2006 budget.  In 2006 the Company
completed an initial evaluation of the Margarita Property while in 2007 the
Company incurred the costs for the preparation for the planned drill
program.  The Company formally approved a 2007 work plan for drilling
on the Margarita Property.  However, due to difficulties with locating
a suitable contractor to undertake the drilling and due to insufficient funds
available to the Company, the Company decided to assign its rights and
obligations to the property to Patriot Gold Corp in January 2008.





5.B.  Liquidity
and capital resources





Liquidity





The
funding of our operations since inception has come from the following
sources.  On October 30, 2003, we closed a private placement with six
investors for the sale of 9,500,000 units, which generated gross proceeds to us
of CDN $95,000. On January 28, 2004, we closed a private placement with
thirty-eight Canadian investors for the sale of 57,350 Common shares, for total
gross proceeds of CDN $5,735. Between March and August 2005 we received a total
of $71,139 in proceeds from three separate bridge loans from three minority
shareholders.   On June 16, 2006 we completed a sale of units of
the Company for total proceeds of CDN $550,000 and during 2006 we received CDN
$56,250 from the exercise of 225,000 stock options.





24


On January
29, 2008, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with Patriot Gold Corp. (“Patriot”) to assign the Company’s rights
and obligations under the Margarita Property Option Agreement to
Patriot.  Pursuant to the Agreement, Patriot assumed the rights, and
agreed to perform all of the duties and obligations, of the Company arising
under the Margarita Property Option Agreement. Simultaneous with the execution
and delivery of the Agreement, Patriot paid the Company CDN $201,600 (USD
$200,000) which amount represents the full payment and satisfaction for the
assignment to Patriot by the Company.  Included in the assignment to
Patriot were, without limitation, all sums incurred by the Company in connection
with its exploration of the Margarita Property which includes the refunding of
the reclamation bond previously paid by the Company to the Forest Service in
Arizona, all expenditure credits incurred by the Company prior to the execution
of the Agreement and all property option payments made to the Margarita
Property. In addition, as the Company also assigned all of its rights and
obligations under the Finders’ Fee Agreement to Patriot, it is no longer
required to make further payments.  Subsequent to the execution of the
Agreement, the Company did not retain any interest in the Margarita
Property.





We are a
natural resource exploration company with an objective of acquiring, exploring,
and if warranted and feasible, developing natural resource
properties.  Our primary focus in the natural resource sector is
gold.





We have
members on our board of directors who have extensive experience in the natural
resource industry. However, exploration activities of properties without any
proven reserves require a considerable amount of time and money, and the
subsequent return on investment for our shareholders would be very long term
indeed.  Should we make a finding of minerals on any of our properties
we would consider our alternatives to such finding, including the possibility of
selling any findings to a major mining company. By selling its findings to
another mining company, it would provide an immediate return to our shareholders
without the long time frame and cost of putting a mine into operation ourselves,
and it would also provide future capital for the company to continue
operations.





During
2008 and 2007 our operations were funded from the proceeds of CDN $550,000 from
a private placement completed in June 2006 and from CDN $56,250 from the
exercise of 225,000 stock options in 2006. Cash was saved due to the settlement
of the bridge loans with units of the Company.  On January 27, 2006,
pursuant to three separate Loan Conversion Agreements the Company and each of
the three individual lenders agreed to convert the three bridge loans into units
of the Company at a conversion rate of CDN$0.10 per Unit.  Each Unit
consists of one common share, one Class A warrant giving the holder the right to
purchase one common share at CDN$0.25, which is exercisable from January 27,
2009 until January 27, 2011, and one Class B warrant giving the holder the right
to purchase one common share at CDN$0.50, which is exercisable from January 27,
2009 until January 27, 2012.  As a result of such loan conversions,
the Company has issued a total of 731,570 restricted shares of common stock,
731,570 Class A warrants, and 731,570 Class B warrants representing a grand
total of principal and accrued interest at January 27, 2006 of
$73,157.





On January
29, 2008 we assigned our interest in the Margarita Property to Patriot Gold
Corp. for total proceeds of CDN $201,600 (USD $200,000).  The receipt
of these funds along with the resulting reduction in cash commitments related to
the Margarita Property will allow us to fund our minimum obligations for the
next twelve months.  However, if we were to expand our operations,
additional funding would be required.





During
2008 cash provided by operating activities was $95,719 compared to cash used by
operating activities of $335,103 in 2007, a decrease of $430,822.  We
had a net loss of $23,415 in 2008 compared to a loss of $346,255 in 2007
primarily due to the sale of the Margarita Property for $201,600 and the
resulting reduction in cash commitments.  The non-cash effect was that
stock-based compensation decreased to $12,882 in 2008 from $41,107 in 2007 and
share-based compensation increased to $112,130 from $nil in 2007.  The
share-based compensation was primarily due to the gifting of shares between a
former officer/director and our officer and a director of the
Company.  Also, in 2008 we had a cash outflow from accounts payable
and accrued liabilities of $8,108 compared to $28,767in 2007.





25


In 2008 we
have cash inflows of $17,894 from investing activities, and in 2007, we have
used $17,894 for investing activities.  Investing activities in 2007
related to the payment of reclamation deposits on the Margarita (2007) and the
South Vulture (2006) Properties.  In 2008 these reclamation deposits
were returned to the Company.  There were no financing activities in
2008 and 2007.





During
2007 we used $335,103 in operations compared to $215,234 in 2006, an increase of
$119,869.  While our loss was significantly lower in 2007 $346,255
compared to 2006 $1,946,089 we had two non-cash items in 2006 that we did not
incur in 2007.  In 2006 we had $1,500,000 in share-based compensation
relating to the gifting of shares between the founders of the Company upon the
resignation of our then President.  We also recognized a $51,210 loss
in relation to the settlement of the bridge loans.  The other non-cash
effect was that stock-based compensation decreased to $41,107 in 2007 from
$144,478 in 2006.  Also, in 2007 we had a cash outflow from accounts
payable and accrued liabilities of ($28,767) compared to a cash inflow of
$38,371 in 2006.





In 2007
and 2006 we used $17,894 and $3,367 respectively for
investing.  Investing activities in both years related to the payment
of reclamation deposits on the Margarita (2007) and the South Vulture (2006)
Properties.  There were no financing activities in 2007 while $606,250
received in 2006 included $550,000 in proceeds received from a private placement
and $56,250 from the exercise of stock options.





We had
cash and cash equivalents of $168,272 as of December 31, 2008.  We
anticipate that we will incur through the end of our next fiscal
year:





·
            $50,000
      in connection with exploration expenditures and $30,000 for property
      option payments for the GQ
Property;





·
            $52,000
      for operating expenses, including working capital and general,
      administrative and professional legal and accounting expenses associated
      with being a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of
      1934.





At
December 31, 2008 we had working capital of $152,170.  The resulting
reduction in cash commitments related to the Margarita Property and the South
Vulture Property will allow us to fund a minimum level of operations for the
next twelve months.





We
anticipate that our cash requirements to carry out planned exploration of our
property and to cover administrative costs will be approximately $132,000
through December 31, 2009. Although current cash on hand is sufficient to fund
our minimum obligations under existing property agreements, we shall require
additional funding in order to expand our operations and we anticipate that such
funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common
stock.  However, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that
we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to
fund additional phases of the exploration programs, should we decide to
proceed.  We believe that debt financing will not be an alternative
for funding any further phases in our exploration program.  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 such time as an economically viable mine can be
demonstrated.  We do not have any arrangements in place for any future
equity financing.





Critical
accounting estimates





The
preparation of the Company's financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions regarding future events. These estimates and
assumptions affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities, and
disclosure of contingent liabilities.





Significant
areas requiring the use of management estimates include the variables used in
determining stock-based compensation and the fair value of the shares in
connection with the gifting of shares, and the loss on the settlement of the
bridge loans. These estimates are based on management's best judgment. Factors
that could affect these estimates include option term and expected
volatility.





26


Management
has made significant assumptions and estimates determining the fair market value
of stock-based compensation granted to employees and non-employees as well as
determining the fair market value of the share purchase warrants issued upon the
settlement of the bridge loans.  These estimates have an effect on the
stock-based compensation and the loss on bridge loan conversion expenses
recognized and the contributed surplus and share capital balances on the
Company’s Balance Sheet.  The value of each option award is estimated
on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The
Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires the input of subjective assumptions,
including the expected term of the option award and stock price volatility. The
expected term of options granted for the purposes of the Black-Scholes
calculation is the term of the award since all grants are to non-employees.
Because our common stock has not yet traded yet, the expected volatility is
based on comparable junior mining companies who granted similar term
options.  In addition, determining the fair value of our shares
requires management to consider factors that require other than share price
since a public quotation of our shares is not available.  These
estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management
judgment. An expected forfeiture rate of nil was used in the recognition of the
compensation and loss expenses for those options and warrants not yet vested at
December 31, 2008.





Management
has estimated the fair value of the shares in connection with the gifting of the
shares based on the estimated fair value of net assets at the date of the shares
being transferred.

Recent Accounting
Pronouncements Applicable to US





Recently
issued United States accounting pronouncements have been outlined
below.





27




SFAS 157




In
September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157,
“Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The
adoption of SFAS 157 did not have an impact on the financial position or
operating results.





SFAS 159







In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment of FASB Statement No.
115” (“SFAS No. 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective
for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007.  The
implementation of SFAS 159 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial
statements.






SFAS
141(R)




In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R “Business Combinations” and SFAS 160
“Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which are both
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R, which
will replace FAS 141, is applicable to business combinations consummated after
the effective date of December 15, 2008.  Earlier adoption is
prohibited.  Accordingly, a calendar year-end company is required to
record and disclose business combinations following existing GAAP until
January 1, 2009.  The implementation of these new standards is
not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements.





SFAS 161





In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities – an amendment of SFAS 133.  This Statement
requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging
activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This
Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative
disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The implementation of these
new standards is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s
financial statements.








SFAS 162





In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”).  The new standard is
intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework,
or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing
financial statements that are presented in conformity with US generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) for non-governmental entities.  SFAS
162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.







EITF
07-5







In March
2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument
(or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.” Effective for the
Company as of January 1, 2009, EITF Issue No. 07-5 defines when adjustment
features within contracts are considered to be equity-indexed. Early adoption of
this standard is not permitted.  The Company is presently evaluating
the impact of adopting EITF Issue No. 07-5 on the Company’s financial
statements.







28




FSP
142-3






In April
2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, "Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets" ("FSP 142-3").  FSP 142-3 amends the factors an
entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in
determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".  This new guidance
applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or
with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset
acquisitions.  FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15,
2008.  Early adoption is prohibited.  FSP 142-3 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.






APB 14-1






In May
2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") APB 14-1, "Accounting for
Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1").  FSP APB 14-1
clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon
either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are
not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, "Accounting for Convertible
Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants."  Additionally, FSP
APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account
for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the
entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in
subsequent periods.  FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years.  The implementation of APB
14-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements as the Company currently has no convertible debt
instruments.

Service Contracts.





With the
exception of Richard Kehmeier, there are no Director Service
contracts.  Pursuant to an agreement dated December 2005, between the
Company and Mr. Kehmeier, commencing December 2005, Mr. Kehmeier has received
USD $500 per month to serve as a Director of the Company.  As of
January 1, 2009, the monthly fees owing to Mr. Kehmeier have been temporarily

6.C.3.  Board of
Director Committees.





The Audit
Committee oversees the accounting and financial reporting processes of the
Company and all audits and external reviews of the financial statements of the
Company on behalf of the Board, and has general responsibility for oversight of
internal controls, accounting and auditing activities of the Company. The
Committee reviews, on a continuous basis, any reports prepared by the Company's
external auditors relating to the Company's accounting policies and procedures,
as well as internal control procedures and systems. The Committee is also
responsible for examining all financial information, including annual financial
statements, prepared for securities commissions and similar regulatory bodies
prior to filing or delivery of the same. The Audit Committee also oversees the
annual audit process, the Company's internal accounting controls, any complaints
and concerns regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters and the
resolution of issues identified by the Company's external auditors. The Audit
Committee recommends to the Board the firm of independent auditors to be
nominated for appointment by the shareholders and the compensation of the
auditors. The Audit Committee meets on an as needed basis.





Until
September 2008 the Company’s Audit Committee consists of the following three
directors, all of who are financially literate and knowledgeable about the
Company’s affairs: Mr. Gourlay, Mr., Cann and Mr. Praill.  Mr. Scott
Praill is the audit committee’s financial expert member as a qualified
accountant with 10 years experience in the mining industry. As of September 2008
the Board of Directors is empowered to appoint a new audit committee for the
Corporation and will function as our audit committee until one is
appointed.There
are no current audit committee members and our Board of Directors has determined
that it does not have a member of the audit committee that qualifies as an
“audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-K.
..  See Item 16A below.





6.D.  Employees





We have no
employees at this time. We utilize outside contractors where possible, and rely
on the industry expertise of management and our Board of Directors. These
contractors will be responsible for surveying, geology, engineering,
exploration, and excavation. The geologists will evaluate the information
derived from the exploration and excavation and the engineers will advise us on
the economic feasibility of removing the mineralized material. No member of our
management team is presently employed by us.  We do not foresee any
significant changes in the number of employees or consultants we will have over
the next twelve months, unless the growth of our business demands
it.

Stock
Options.





The terms
of options grantable by the Company are done at the discretion of the Option
Committee of the Board of Directors, including the number of common shares under
option, the exercise price and expiry date of such options and any amendments
thereto.  The Company adopted a formal written stock option plan (the
"Plan") on June 24, 2005.





Such
“terms and conditions”, including the pricing of the options, expiry and the
eligibility of personnel for such stock options; and are described
below.





The
principal purposes of the Company’s stock option program are to (a) promote a
proprietary interest in the Company among the officers, directors, employees and
consultants of the Company, (b) retain and attract the qualified officers,
directors, employees and consultants the Company requires, (c) provide a
long-term incentive element in overall compensation, and (d) promote the
long-term profitability of the Company.





The Plan
provides that stock options may be granted to service providers for the
Company.  The term “service providers” means (a) any full or part-time
employee or Officer, or insider of the Company; (b) any other person employed by
a company or individual providing management services to the Company; (c) any
other person or company engaged to provide ongoing consulting services for the
Company (any person in (a), (b), or (c) hereinafter referred to as an “Eligible
Person”); and (e) any corporation controlled by such Eligible Person, the issued
and outstanding voting shares of which are, and will continue to be,
beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by such Eligible Person and/or
spouse, children and/or grandchildren of such Eligible
Person.   Subject to the foregoing, the board of directors or
Committee, as applicable, shall have full and final authority to determine the
persons who are to be granted options under the Plan and the number of shares
subject to each option.





The Plan
shall be administered by the board of directors of the Company or a committee
established by the board of directors for that purpose.  Subject to
approval of the granting of options by the board of directors or Committee, as
applicable, the Company shall grant options under the Plan.





33


The Plan
provides that the aggregate number of shares of the Company, which may be issued
and sold under the Plan, will not exceed 5,000,000.  The Company shall
not, upon the exercise of any option, be required to issue or deliver any shares
prior to (a) the admission of such shares to listing on any stock exchange on
which the Company’s shares may them be listed, and (b) the completion of such
registration or other qualification of such shares under any law, rules or
regulation as the Company shall determine to be necessary or
advisable.  If any shares cannot be issued to any optionee for
whatever reason, the obligation of the Company to issue such shares shall
terminate and any option exercise price paid to the Company shall be returned to
the optionee.





If a stock
option expires or otherwise terminates for any reason without having been
exercised in full, the number of common shares reserved for issuance under that
expired or terminated stock option shall again be available for the purposes of
the Plan.  The Plan provides that it is solely within the discretion
of the Board to determine who should receive stock options and in what amounts,
subject to the following conditions:





(a)           options
will be non-assignable and non-transferable;


(b)           options
may be exercisable for a maximum of ten years from grant date;


(c)           options
to acquire no more than 5% of the issued shares of the Company under the Plan
together with any other options for services may be granted to any one
individual in any 12-month period;


(d)           options
to acquire no more than 10% of the issued shares of the Company may be granted
to anyinsiders in any 12-month period;


(e)           the
issuance of shares to insiders of the Company may not exceed 10% of the issued
and outstanding shares within a one year period


(f)           the
issuance of shares to an insider of the Company and his or her associates under
the Plan and all other compensation arrangements, within a one year period, may
not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding shares.


(g)           unless
otherwise determined by the Option Committee, all vested options expire 30 days
following the date of resignation or termination of the option
holder;


(h)           in
the event of an option holder’s death, the option holder’s personal
representative may exercise any portion of the option holder’s vested
outstanding options for a period of one year following the option holder’s
death, with the consent of the board of directors.





The Plan
provides that other terms and conditions may be attached to a particular stock
option, such terms and conditions to be referred to in a schedule attached to
the option certificate.  Stock options granted to directors, senior
officers, employees or consultants will vest over a three-year period unless
otherwise determined by the Board on a case by case basis.





The price
at which an option holder may purchase a common share upon the exercise of a
stock option will be as set forth in the option certificate issued in respect of
such option and in any event will not be less than the market price of the
Company’s common shares as of the date of the grant of the stock option (the
“Award Date”).  The market price of the Company’s common shares for a
particular Award Date will typically be the closing trading price of the
Company’s common shares on the day immediately preceding the Award Date, or
otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  Where there is no
such closing price or trade on the prior trading day “market price” shall mean
the average of the most recent bid and ask of the shares of the Company on any
stock exchange on which the shares are listed or dealing network on which the
shares of the Company trade.





In no case
will a stock option be exercisable at a price less than the minimum prescribed
by each of the organized trading facilities or the applicable regulatory
authorities that would apply to the award of the stock option in
question.





Common
shares will not be issued pursuant to stock options granted under the Plan until
they have been fully paid for by the option holder.





The names
and titles of the Directors/Executive Officers of the Company to whom
outstanding stock options have been granted and the number of common shares
subject to such options are set forth in Table No. 5 as of December 31,
2008.

On March

County, Arizona.  The Company may exercise the option by making cash
payments totaling CDN $27,294 (USD $25,000) and incurring net expenditures on
the property of at least CDN $119,793 (USD $120,000) by March 24,

and made the annual payments of CDN $5,660 (USD $5,000) and CDN $5,870 (USD

to terminate the Property Option Agreement by giving Mr. Fred Brost notice of
our election to terminate on February 24, 2009.  The Company does not
maintain any further rights, interests, or obligations in the
property.

On June 1,

incurring net expenditures of CDN $675,405 (USD $675,000) by May 31,
2009.  Also on July 14, 2006 in relation to the Company entering into
the Margarita Property Option Agreement, the Company entered into a Finder’s Fee
Agreement with Fred Brost.  The Company has agreed to pay a fee equal
to 10% of the Property Option Payments made to James Sorrell during the first
three years of the Margarita Property Option Agreement.  It is
estimated that if the Company makes all of the scheduled property option
payments to Mr. Sorrell, the amount paid under the Finder’s Fee Agreement to Mr.
Brost will be CDN $30,730 (USD $31,000).  If the Company terminates
the Margarita Property Option Agreement, the Company will not owe any further
payments under the Finder’s Fee Agreement.  If it has not been
terminated earlier, the Finder’s Fee Agreement will terminate automatically on
July 14, 2009.  On May 31, 2007 the Company made the property option

with its exploration of the Margarita Property which includes the refunding of
the reclamation bond previously paid by the Company to the Forest Service in
Arizona, all expenditure credits incurred by the Company prior to the execution
of the Agreement and all property option payments made to the Margarita
Property. In addition, as the Company also assigned all of its rights and
obligations under the Finders’ Fee Agreement to Patriot, it is no longer
required to make further payments.  Subsequent to the execution of the
Agreement, the Company did not retain any interest in the Margarita
Property.

2008 we applied to the NASD to have our common stock be quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board and as of October 2008 we have received approval for our shares

situated in a single location but operates through communication of bids, offers
and confirmations  between broker-dealers, and





(2)
securities admitted to quotation are offered by one or more Broker-dealers
rather than the "specialist" common to stock exchanges.





To qualify
for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board, an equity security must have one

      the Bank of Canada Prime Rate + 1% and was
  unsecured.





6.
            On
      January 27, 2006, the Company retired the following three loans, whose
      aggregate outstanding amounts totaled CDN $73,157, by converting them into
      731,570 units of the Company’s securities (the “Units”): loan made on
      August 29, 2005 by Fred Coombes, in the principal amount of CDN $50,000;
      loan made on March 22, 2005 by Igman Consulting Group, in the principal
      amount of CDN $15,000; and loan made on July 8, 2005 by Trevor Newton, in
      the principal amount of USD $5,000.  All three loans bore
      interest at the Bank of Canada Prime Rate + 1%.  Pursuant to a
      Conversion Agreement, dated January 27, 2006, entered into between the
      Company and each of the above lenders, each loan was converted at CDN$0.10
      per Unit.

7.
            On
      March 24, 2006, the Company entered into a Property Option Agreement
      giving the Company the exclusive right and option to acquire a 100%
      interest in a mineral exploration permit covering the South Vulture
      property located in Maricopa County, Arizona.  The Company may
      exercise the option by making cash payments totalling CDN $27,294 (USD
      $25,000) and incurring net expenditures on the property of at least CDN
      $119,793 (USD $120,000) by March 24, 2010.  The Company paid the
      initial CDN $5,850 (USD $5,000) upon executing the agreement as required
      under the initial Property Option Agreement and made the annual payments
      of CDN $5,660 (USD $5,000) and CDN $5,870 (USD $5,000) due March 24, 2008
      and 2007 respectively. The Company also met its obligation with respect to
      minimum exploration expenditures for
2007.





8.
            On
      June 1, 2006 we entered into a property option agreement with Warner
      Gruenwald to acquire a 100% interest in a property in the Province of
      British Columbia known as the GQ Property.  We may exercise our
      option by making cash payments totaling CDN $100,000 and incurring net
      expenditures of CDN $110,000 by June 1, 2010.  The Company made
      the $10,000 payment on June 1, 2007 and also met its obligations with
      respect to the minimum exploration expenditures for
  2007.





9.
            On
      July 14, 2006 we entered into a property option agreement with James
      Sorrell to acquire a 100% interest in a property in Santa Cruz County,
      Arizona known as the Margarita Property.  We made an initial
      payment of CDN $39,300 (USD $35,000) upon signing the agreement and we may
      exercise our option by making further cash payments totaling CDN $822,908
      (USD $825,000) by May 31, 2012 and incurring net expenditures of CDN
      $675,405 (USD $675,000) by May 31, 2009.  Also on July 14, 2006
      in relation to the Company entering into the Margarita Property Option
      Agreement, the Company entered into a Finder’s Fee Agreement with Fred
      Brost under which it is estimated that if the Company makes all of the
      scheduled property option payments to Mr. Sorrell, the amount paid under
      the Finder’s Fee Agreement to Mr. Brost will be CDN $30,730 (USD
      $31,000).  On May 31, 2007 the Company made the property option
      payment of CDN $54,650 (USD $50,000) and the related finders’ fee payment
      of CDN $5,465 (USD $5,000) and also met its obligations with respect to
      the minimum exploration expenditures for
2007.





10.
            On
      January 29, 2008, the Company entered into an Assignment and Assumption
      Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Patriot Gold Corp. (“Patriot”) to assign
      the Company’s rights and obligations under the Margarita Property Option
      Agreement to Patriot.  Pursuant to the Agreement, Patriot
      assumed the rights, and agreed to perform all of the duties and
      obligations, of the Company arising under the Margarita Property Option
      Agreement. Simultaneous with the execution and delivery of the Agreement,
      Patriot paid the Company CDN $201,600 (USD $200,000) which amount
      represents the full payment and satisfaction for the assignment to Patriot
      by the Company.  Included in the assignment to Patriot were,
      without limitation, all sums incurred by the Company in connection with
      its exploration of the Margarita Property which includes the refunding of
      the reclamation bond previously paid by the Company to the Forest Service
      in Arizona, all expenditure credits incurred by the Company prior to the
      execution of the Agreement and all property option payments made to the
      Margarita Property. In addition, as the Company also assigned all of its
      rights and obligations under the Finders’ Fee Agreement to Patriot, it is
      no longer required to make further payments.  Subsequent to the
      execution of the Agreement, the Company did not retain any interest in the
      Margarita Property.





11.
            On
      February 24, 2009 the Company chose to terminate the Property Option
      Agreement for the South Vulture Property by giving Mr. Fred Brost notice
      of our election to terminate.  The Company does not maintain any
      further rights, interests, or obligations in the
  property.





10.D.  Exchange
Controls




There are
no government laws, decrees or regulations in Canada which restrict the export
or import of capital or, subject to the following sentence, which affect the
remittance of dividends or other payments to nonresident holders of our common
shares. However, any such remittance to a resident of the United States is
generally subject to non-resident tax pursuant to Article X of the 1980
Canada-United States Income Tax Convention. See “Material Income Tax
Considerations” above for additional discussion on tax matters.




41


There are
currently no limitations of general application imposed by Canadian federal or
provincial laws on the rights of non-residents of Canada to hold or vote our
common shares. There are also no such limitations imposed by the articles of
incorporation with respect to our common shares. There are, however, certain
requirements on the acquisition of control of our securities by non-residents of
Canada. The Investment Canada Act requires notification to and, in certain
cases, advance review and approval by, the Government of Canada, of the
acquisition by a “non-Canadian” of “control” of a “Canadian business”, all as
defined in the Investment Canada Act. Generally speaking, in order for an
acquisition to be subject to advance review and approval, the asset value of the
Canadian business being acquired must meet or exceed certain monetary
thresholds.





10.E.  Taxation





Canadian Federal Income Tax
Considerations





The
following is a brief summary of some of the principal Canadian federal income
tax consequences to a holder of common shares of the Company (a "U.S. Holder")
who deals at arm's length with the Company, holds the shares as capital property
and who, for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Act") and the
Canada – United States Income Tax Convention (the "Treaty"), is at all relevant
times resident in the United States, is not and is not deemed to be resident in
Canada and does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the shares in
carrying on a business in Canada. Special rules, which are not discussed below,
may apply to a U.S. Holder that is an insurer that carries on business in Canada
and elsewhere.





Under the
Act and the Treaty, a U.S. Holder of common shares will generally be subject to
a 15% withholding tax on dividends paid or credited or deemed by the Act to have
been paid or credited on such shares. The withholding tax rate is 5% where the
U.S. Holder is a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10% of the voting
shares of the Company and the dividends may be exempt from such withholding in
the case of some U.S. Holders such as qualifying pension funds and
charities.





In
general, a U.S. Holder will not be subject to Canadian income tax on capital
gains arising on the disposition of shares of the Company unless (i) at any time
in the five-year period immediately preceding the disposition, 25% or more of
the shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Company was owned
by (or was under option of or subject to an interest of) the U.S. holder,
persons with whom the U.S. holder did not deal at arm's length, or the U.S
holder, together with such persons and (ii) the value of the common shares of
the Company at the time of the disposition derives principally from real
property (as defined in the Treaty) situated in Canada. For this purpose, the
Treaty defines real property situated in Canada to include rights to explore for
or exploit mineral deposits and other natural resources situated in Canada,
rights to amounts computed by reference to the amount or value of production
from such resources, certain other rights in respect of natural resources
situated in Canada and shares of a corporation the value of whose shares is
derived principally from real property situated in Canada.





A U.S.
Holder who is subject to Canadian income tax in respect of a capital gain
realized on a disposition of a common share must include one-half of the capital
gain (taxable capital gain) in computing the Holder's taxable income earned in
Canada.  The Holder may, subject to certain limitations, deduct
one-half of any capital loss (allowable capital loss) arising on a disposition
of taxable Canadian property from taxable capital gains realized in the year of
disposition in respect of taxable Canadian property and, to the extent not so
deductible, from such taxable capital gains realized in any of the three
preceding years or any subsequent year.





United States
Taxation





For
federal income tax purposes, an individual who is a citizen or resident of the
United States or a domestic corporation ("U.S. Taxpayer") will recognize a gain
or loss on the sale of the Company's common shares equal to the difference
between the proceeds from such sale and the adjusted tax basis of the common
shares.  The gain or loss will be a capital gain or capital loss if
the Company's common shares are a capital asset in U.S. Taxpayer's
hands.





42


For
federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Taxpayer will be required to include in
gross income dividends received on the Company's common shares.  A
U.S. Taxpayer who pays Canadian tax on a dividend on common shares will be
entitled, subject to certain limitations, to a credit (or alternatively, a
deduction) against federal income tax liability.  A domestic
corporation that owns at least 10% of the voting shares should consult its tax
advisor as to applicability of the deemed paid foreign tax credit with respect
to dividends paid on the Company's common shares.





Under a
number of circumstances, United States Investor acquiring shares of the Company
may be required to file an information return with the Internal Revenue Service
Center where they are required to file their tax returns with a duplicate copy
to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Philadelphia, PA 19255.  In
particular, any United States Investor who becomes the owner, directly or
indirectly, of 10% or more of the shares of the Company will be required to file
such a return.  Other filing requirements may apply, and United States
Investors should consult their own tax advisors concerning these
requirements.





The US
Internal Revenue Code provides special anti-deferral rules regarding certain
distributions received by US persons with respect to, and sales and other
dispositions (including pledges) of stock of, a passive foreign investment
company.  A foreign corporation, such as the Company, will be treated
as a passive foreign investment company if 75% or more of its gross income is
passive income for a taxable year or if the average percentage of its assets (by
value) that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income is at
least 50% for a taxable year.  The Company believes that it may be a
passive foreign investment company for the taxable year ended December 31,
2005.  Individual investors should consult with there own tax advisors
regarding the tax implications in their own situation.

ITEM
11.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK





FOREIGN
CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE SENSITIVITY







The
Company's operating expenses and liabilities are primarily incurred in Canadian
dollars.






To the
extent the Company engages in transactions in US dollars, the results of the
Company’s operations are subject to currency transaction risk and currency
translation risk. The operating results and financial position of the Company
are reported in Canadian dollars in the Company’s financial statements. The
fluctuation of the US dollar in relation to the Canadian dollar will
consequently have an impact upon the operations of the Company and may also
affect the value of the Company’s assets and the amount of shareholders’
equity.






The
Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and its expenses are
predominantly incurred in Canadian dollars. The Company incurs a relatively
small portion of its expenses in U.S. dollars.






The
Company has not entered into any agreements or purchased any instruments to
hedge possible currency risks at this time.







INTEREST RATE
SENSITIVITY





The
Company currently has no significant long-term or short-term debt requiring
interest payments. Thus, the Company has not entered into any agreement or
purchased any instrument to hedge against possible interest rate risks at this
time.





43


The
Company's interest earning investments are primarily short-term, or can be held
to maturity, and thus, any reductions in carrying values due to future interest
rate declines are believed to be immaterial. However, as the Company has a
significant cash or near-cash position, which is invested in such instruments,
reductions in interest rates will reduce the interest income from these
investments.

ITEM 15.  CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES





Evaluation of Disclosure
Controls and Procedures





As
required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange
Act”), the Company’s management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of
December 31, 2008, being the date of the Company’s most recently completed
fiscal year end. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with
the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial
Officer, Mr. Paul Noland.  Based upon that evaluation, our principal
executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures are not effective due to the material weakness noted in
the Internal Controls over Financial Reporting below.





Internal Controls over
Financial Reporting





The
Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and
15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision of the Company’s
Principal Executive Officer, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”). The Company’s controls include policies and procedures
that:





 ̈
            pertain
      to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
      fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
      Company;


 ̈
            provide
      reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
      preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP;
      and


 ̈
            provide
      reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
      unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that
      could have a material effect on the annual financial statements or interim
      financial statements.





Because of
its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.





Management
conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on the criteria
set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included
review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness
of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion
on this evaluation.  Based on this evaluation, management concluded
that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of
December 31, 2008 due to the following material weakness:


45







·
            Our
      company’s administration is composed of a small number of administrative
      individuals resulting in a situation where limitations on segregation of
      duties exist. In order to remedy this situation we would need to hire
      additional staff to provide greater segregation of duties. Currently, it
      is not feasible to hire additional staff to obtain optimal segregation of
      duties.  Management will reassess this matter in the following
      year to determine whether improvement in segregation of duty is
      feasible.






Limitations of Controls and
Procedures







The
Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal
Financial Officer, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or
internal controls over financial reporting, 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, they cannot provide absolute
assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the
Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns
can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more
people, or by unauthorized override of the control. The design of any systems 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. Accordingly,
because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system,
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.





Attestation Report of
Registered Public Accounting Firm





This
annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over
financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the
Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary
rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in
this annual report.





Changes in Internal Controls
over Financial Reporting





During the
most recently completed fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, there were no
changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting.





ITEM
16.  RESERVED





ITEM 16A.  AUDIT
COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT





Until
September 2008, the Company’s Audit Committee consists of three directors, all
of whom are financially literate and knowledgeable about the Company’s
affairs.  Mr. Scott Praill is the audit committee’s financial expert
member as a qualified accountant with 10 years experience in the mining
industry.  As of September 2008 the Board of Directors is empowered to
appoint a new audit committee for the Corporation.   There are no
current audit committee members and our Board of Directors has determined that
it does not have a member of the audit committee that qualifies as an “audit
committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation
S-K.  We believe that the board of directors are collectively capable
of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal
controls and procedures for financial reporting. In addition, we believe that
retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee
financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in
our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we
have not generated revenues to date.

ITEM 16B.  CODE OF

Report
      of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
  To
the Shareholders of
 American
Goldrush Corporation
   We have
audited the Balance Sheets of American Goldrush Corporation (an Exploration
Stage Company) as at December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the Statements of Loss and
Comprehensive Loss, Cash Flows and Changes in Stockholders’ Equity for the years
ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 and the cumulative period from August 8,
2003 (inception) to December 31, 2008.  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 Canadian generally accepted auditing
standards and the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform an
audit to obtain reasonable assurance 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.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
  In our
opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2008 and 2007and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31,
2008, 2007 and 2006 and the cumulative period from August 8, 2003 (inception) to
December 31, 2008 in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting
principles.

 Comments
      by Auditors for U.S. Readers
                On
      Canada-U.S. Reporting Differences
 
 
 
 
 In the
United States, reporting standards for auditors require the addition of an
explanatory paragraph (following the opinion paragraph) when the financial
statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in
Note 1 to the financial statements. Our report to the shareholders dated June
30, 2009 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do
not permit a reference to such events and conditions in the auditors’ report
when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements.

GOLDRUSH CORPORATION

Exploration Stage Company)
 Notes
to the Financial Statements
 (Stated
in Canadian Dollars)
  
 1.      OPERATIONS
 
 Organization
 
 The
Company was incorporated in Canada under the laws of the Canadian Business
Corporations Act on August 8, 2003.
 
 Exploration Stage
Activities
 
 The
Company has been in the exploration stage since its formation and has not yet
commenced its planned operations (mineral exploration).  The Company
is primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mining properties in
North America.  In February, 2004, the Company entered into a Property
Option Agreement to acquire an option on a mineral exploration property in
British Columbia.  The Property Option Agreement was amended in
November, 2004, and on November 23, 2005 the Company terminated the Property
Option Agreement.  During 2006, the Company entered into three
separate Property Option Agreements to acquire an option on two properties in
Arizona and one in British Columbia, Canada.  Subsequent to December
31, 2007, one of the Arizona properties was assigned to a third party (Note
3).   Subsequent to December 31, 2008, another property option
lapsed.
 
 Ability to Continue as a
Going Concern
 
 The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will
continue as a going concern.  This contemplates that assets will be
realized and liabilities and commitments satisfied in the normal course of
business.
 
 As shown
in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative
losses of $2,521,487 for the period from August 8, 2003 (inception) to December
31, 2008 and has no source of revenue.  The future of the Company is
dependent upon its ability to obtain financing and upon future acquisition,
exploration and development of profitable operations from mineral
properties.  Management has plans to seek additional capital through a
private placement and public offering of its common stock.  These
conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern.  Although there are no assurances that management’s
plans will be realized, management believes that the Company will be able to
continue operations in the future.  The financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might
be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.
 
 2.      SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 The
financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in Canada. All figures are reported in
Canadian dollars. The significant accounting policies are summarized as
follows:
 
 a) Cash and Cash
Equivalents
 
 The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of 90
days or less to be cash equivalents.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
 
 b)      Mineral Property Payments
and Exploration Costs
 
 Exploration
costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs are to be expensed until it
has been established that a mineral deposit is commercially mineable and a
production decision has been made by the Company to formulate a mining plan and
develop a mine, at which point the costs subsequently incurred to develop the
mine on the property prior to the start of mining operations are
capitalized.
 
 Mineral
property acquisition costs are charged to expense until the viability of the
mineral interest is determined. Reductions in the carrying value of a property
would be recorded to the extent that the total carrying value of the mineral
property exceeds its estimated fair value.
 
 Where the
Company has entered into option agreements for the acquisition of an interest in
mineral properties which provides for periodic payments, amounts unpaid are not
recorded as a liability since they are paid entirely at the Company’s
option.
 
 To
December 31, 2008, all exploration and option payments have been charged to
expense.
 
 c)      Use of
Estimates
 
 The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting
period.  Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
 
 d)      Foreign Currency
Transactions
 
 The
Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar.  Transactions in
foreign currency are translated into Canadian dollars as follows:
 
 ·  Monetary
items at the rate prevailing at the balance sheet date;
 ·  Non-monetary
items at the historical exchange rate;
 ·  Revenue
and expenses at the historical exchange rate.
 
 Gains and
losses on foreign exchange are included in the Statements of Loss.
 
 e)      Stock-based
compensation
 
 The
Company grants stock options pursuant to a stock option plan described in Note
7.  Compensation expense is recorded for stock options granted using
the fair value method with a corresponding increase in contributed
surplus.  The Company estimates the fair value at the date of grant
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  Any consideration
received on exercise of stock options or the purchase of stock, plus the fair
value of options or stock, is credited to share capital.
  Under the
fair value based method, stock-based payments to non-employees are measured at
the fair value of the equity instrument issued.  The fair value of
stock-based payments to non-employees is periodically re-measured until the
earlier of:  completion of the services provided; a firm commitment to
complete the services; or the vesting date and any change therein is recognized
over the service period.

 f)      Loss Per
Share
 The basic
loss per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders
by the weighted average aggregate number of common shares outstanding during
each period. The Company follows the “Treasury Stock Method” in calculating the
diluted loss per common share.  Under this method, any proceeds from
the exercise of options and warrants are assumed to be used to purchase common
shares at the average market price during the period.  Common
equivalent shares (consisting of shares issuable on the exercise of common stock
options and warrants) totaling 32,663,140, 32,813,140, and 32,813,140 in 2008,
2007 and 2006 respectively were not included in the computation of loss per
share because the effect was anti-dilutive.
 
 g)      Income
Taxes
  Future
income taxes relate to the expected future tax consequences of differences
between the carrying amount of balance sheet items and their corresponding tax
values.  Future tax assets are recognized only to the extent that, in
the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that the net future income
tax assets will be realized.  Future income tax assets and liabilities
are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of
enactment or substantive enactment.
 
 h)      Comprehensive Income
(Loss)
 
 This
standard requires the presentation of a statement of comprehensive income and
its components.  Comprehensive income (loss) includes both net
earnings (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss).  Other
comprehensive income (loss) includes holding gains and losses on available for
sale investments, gains and losses on certain derivative financial instruments
and foreign currency gains and losses relating to self-sustaining foreign
operations, all of which are not included in the calculation of net earnings
(loss) until realized.
 
 i)      Financial Instruments –
Recognition and Measurement
 
 This
standard sets out criteria for the recognition and measurement of financial
instruments for fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2006. This
standard requires all financial instruments within its scope, including
derivatives, to be included on the balance sheet and measured either at fair
value or, in certain circumstances when fair value may not be considered most
relevant, at cost or amortized cost. Changes in fair value are to be recognized
in either the Statements of Loss or the Statement of Comprehensive
Loss.
 
 All
financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party
to the contract creating the item. As such, any of the Company’s outstanding
financial assets and liabilities at the effective date of adoption are
recognized and measured in accordance with the new requirements as if these
requirements had always been in effect.
 
 All
financial instruments are classified into one of the following five categories:
held-for-trading, held to maturity, loans and receivables, available for sale
financial assets, or other financial liabilities. Initial and subsequent
measurement and recognition of changes in the value of financial instruments
depends on their initial classification:

 i)      Financial Instruments –
Recognition and Measurement - continued
 
 
 In
accordance with this new standard, the Company has classified its financial
instruments as follows:
 
 ·
              Cash
      and cash equivalents as held for trading which is measured at fair value
      initially and in subsequent
periods;
 
 ·
              Accounts
      payable and accrued liabilities are classified as other
      liabilities.  They are initially measured at fair
      value.  Subsequent valuations are recorded at amortized cost
      using the effective interest rate
method.
 
 
 j)      Financial Instruments –
Disclosure and Presentation
 
 The
Company adopted the CICA guidelines of Section 3862, Financial Instruments –
Disclosures, and Section 3863, Financial Instruments –
Presentation.  These standards replace CICA 3861, Financial
Instruments – Disclosure and Presentation.
 
 These
standards increase the disclosures currently required, which will enable users
to evaluate the significance of financial instruments for an entity’s financial
position and performance, including disclosures about fair value.  In
addition, disclosure is required of qualitative and quantitative information
about exposure to risks arising from financial instruments, including specified
minimum disclosures about credit risk, liquidity risk, and market
risk.  The quantitative disclosures must provide information about the
extent to which the company is exposed to such risk, based on information
provided internally to the entity’s key management personnel.
 
 Financial
instruments issued by the Company are treated as equity only to the extent that
they do not meet the definition of a financial liability.  The
Company’s common shares are classified as equity instruments.
 
 Financial
Instrument Risk Exposure and Risk Management
 
 The
Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument
related risks.  The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk
management process.  The overall objective of the Board is to set
policies that seek to reduce risk as far as possible without unduly affecting
the Company’s competitiveness and flexibility. The types of risk exposure and
the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:
 
 Credit
Risk
 
 The
Company is primarily exposed to credit risk on its bank
accounts.  Credit risk exposure is limited through maintaining its
cash with high-credit quality financial institutions.
 
 Liquidity
Risk
 
 Liquidity
risk is the risk that the Company is not able to meet its financial obligations
as they fall due.  The Company manages liquidity by maintaining its
cash and cash equivalent balances available to meet its anticipated operational
needs.  At December 31, 2008, the Company had a cash and cash
equivalent balance of $168,272 (2007 – $54,659) and current liabilities of
$22,286 (2007 – 30,394).  The Company believes that these sources will
be sufficient to cover the expected short term cash
requirements.

 Interest
Rate Risk
 
 Interest
rate risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of
changes in market interest rates.  The Company is exposed to interest
rate risk on its cash and cash equivalents.  The Company estimates
that the fluctuation in interest rate of 1% would affect the net loss by
approximately $2,000.
 
 Foreign
Currency Risk
 
 Financial
assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar
are as follows:

 A 1%
fluctuation in exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. dollar would
have resulted in a change in earnings of approximately $1,370.  The
Company considers this risk to be insignificant and therefore does not hedge its
foreign exchange risk.
 
 k)      Hedging
 
 Section
3865 specifies the circumstances under which hedge accounting is permissible and
how hedge accounting may be performed. The Company currently does not hold any
financial instruments designated for hedge accounting.
 
 l)      Assessing Going
Concern
 
 The
Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) amended CICA Handbook Section 1400,
to include requirements for management to assess and disclose an entity’s
ability to continue as a going concern.  Effective January 1, 2008,
the Company has adopted this standard and the adoption of the standard did not
have material impact on the financial statements.
 
 m)     Accounting
Changes
 
 Section
1506 revised the standards on changes in accounting policy, estimates or errors
to require a change in accounting policy to be applied retrospectively (unless
doing so is impracticable or is specified otherwise by a new accounting
standard), changes in estimates to be recorded prospectively, and prior period
errors to be corrected retrospectively. Voluntary changes in accounting policy
are allowed only when they result in financial statements that provide reliable
and more relevant information. In addition, these revised standards call for
enhanced disclosures about the effects of changes in accounting policies,
estimates and errors on the financial statements. The impact of this new
standard cannot be determined until such time as the Company makes a change in
accounting policy, other than the changes resulting from the implementation of
the new CICA Handbook standards discussed in this note.

 n)      Cash
Distribution
 
 The AcSB
issued CICA Handbook Section 1540, Cash Flow Statements, to amend the
requirement of additional disclosures where cash distributions are made in
accordance with a contractual obligation for cash
distributions.  Effective January 1, 2008, the Company has applied
this standard and the adoption of this did not have material impact on the
financial statements.
 
 o)      Capital
Disclosure
 
 The AcSB
issued CICA Handbook Section 1535 “Capital Disclosures” The section specifies
the disclosure of (i) an entity’s objectives, policies, and processes for
managing capital; (ii) quantitative data about what the entity regards as
capital; (iii) whether the entity has complied with capital requirements; and
(iv) if it has not complied, the consequences of such
non-compliance.  Effective January 1, 2008, the Company has adopted
this standard.
 
 The
Company was formed for the purpose of acquiring exploration and development
stage natural resource properties.  The management determines the
Company’s capital structure and makes adjustments to it based on funds available
to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development
of mineral properties.  The management has not established
quantitative return on capital criteria for capital
management.
 
 The
Company has acquired interests in various properties (Note 3) and has not yet
generated any revenue.  Accordingly the Company will be dependent in
the future upon external financing to fund future acquisition and exploration
programs and its administrative costs.  The Company will spend
existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed.  The
Company will continue to assess new properties and to seek to acquire an
interest in additional properties if management feels there is sufficient
geologic or economic potential provided it has adequate financial resources to
do so.
 
 The
management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and
believes that its approach, given the relative size of the Company is
reasonable. The Company’s objective when managing capital is to safeguard the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can continue to
provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other
stakeholders.
 
 The
Company considers the items included in shareholders’ equity as
capital.  The Company manages the capital structure and makes
adjustments to it in the light of changes in economic conditions and the risk
characteristics of the underlying assets.  In order to maintain or
adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares through private
placements, sell assets to reduce debt or return capital to
shareholders.  The Company is not subject to externally imposed
capital requirements.

Accounting Standards
 
 Goodwill
and Intangible Assets:
 The AcSB
issued CICA Handbook Section 3064 which replaces Section 3062, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets, and Section 3450, Research and Development
Costs.  This new section establishes standards for the recognition,
measurement, presentation and disclosure of goodwill subsequent to its initial
recognition and of intangible assets.  Standards concerning goodwill
remain unchanged from the standards included in the previous Section
3062.  The section applies to interim and annual financial statements
relating to fiscal years beginning on or after October 1, 2008. Accordingly, the
Company will adopt the new standards for its fiscal year beginning January 1,
2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new
Section on its financial statements.
 International
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)
  In 2006,
the Canadian Accounting Standards Board (“AcSB”) published a new strategic plan
that will significantly affect financial reporting requirements for Canadian
companies.  The AcSB strategic plan outlines the convergence of Canadian
GAAP with IFRS over an expected five year transitional period.  In March
2008, the AcSB issued a report confirming the transition date will be on January
1, 2011 for the conversion to IFRS.  The proposed transition date of
January 1, 2011 will require the restatement for comparative purposes of amounts
reported by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010.  While the
Company has begun assessing the adoption of IFRS for 2011, the financial
reporting impact of the transition to IFRS cannot be reasonably estimated at
this time.

RECLAMATION DEPOSIT
 
 The
Company has been granted exploration permits from the state of Arizona for the
Margarita and South Vulture Properties.  As part of the application
process, the Company paid a refundable deposit to the State for the estimated
reclamation costs associated with the planned exploration programs for the
respective properties.  Upon completion of any required reclamation,
the Company will receive a refund of the deposit.  Subsequent to

   5.      BRIDGE
LOANS
 
 During
2005, the Company entered into three bridge loans (the “Loans”) with minority
shareholders. All of the Loans bore interest at the Bank of Canada Prime Lending
Rate plus 1%.  The Loans were due one year from the date of the Loans
but the Company had the option to repay the Loans at any time prior to the due
date without penalty.  No security was provided for the
Loans.
  On January
27, 2006, pursuant to three separate Loan Conversion Agreements the Company and
each of the three individual lenders agreed to convert the three bridge loans
into units of the Company at a conversion rate of $0.10 per
Unit.  Each Unit consists of one common share, one Class A warrant
giving the holder the right to
 purchase
one common share at $0.25, which is exercisable from January 27, 2009 until
January 27, 2011, and
 one Class
B warrant giving the holder the right to purchase one common share at $0.50,
which is exercisable from January 27, 2009 until January 27, 2012.  As
a result of such loan conversions, the Company has issued a total of 731,570
restricted shares of common stock, 731,570 Class A warrants, and 731,570 Class B
warrants representing a grand total of principal and accrued interest at January
27, 2006 of $73,157.
  The
weighted average fair value on Class A and B warrants at the time of settlement
was $51,210 (approximately $0.34 per warrant) which was determined using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions:
  Risk-free
      interest rate

  Together
with the estimated fair value of the common shares of $0.10 per share, the
aggregate fair value of the total consideration given on this conversion was
$124,367.   As a result, the Company recognized a loss of $51,210
on the Statements of Loss at December 31, 2006.

10-year term.
 
 No options
were granted during 2008 or 2007 while 1,200,000 options were granted to
non-employees in 2005.  The Company revalues stock options until their
respective vesting dates.  The stock-based compensation expense is
amortized over the vesting period.  For the year ended December 31,
2008, the Company has recognized $12,882 (2007 - $41,107, 2006 - $144,478) in
stock-based compensation for stock options granted in 2005.
 
 Because
the Company’s common stock has not yet traded in a public market, the expected
volatility is based on comparable junior mining companies who granted similar
term options.  No options were granted in 2008 or 2007 and the
weighted average fair value of options granted during 2005 was $0.07 per
option.
 
 The
following table sets forth a summary of options granted:

 The
Company’s future tax assets include the tax effect relating to approximately
$5,000 (2007 - $9,000) of future tax deductions for share issue
costs.  If and when the valuation allowance related to the tax effect
of these amounts is reversed the Company will recognize this benefit as an
adjustment to share capital as opposed to income tax expense in the Statement of
Loss.
 
 The
Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future
operations.  When circumstances change and this causes a change in
management’s judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the
impact of the change on the valuation allowance is reflected in current
income.
 
 The
Company has non-capital losses of approximately $453,000 expiring in various
amounts from 2010 to 2028.  The Company also has cumulative deferred
exploration expenses of approximately $165,000 (2007 – $349,000) to offset
future taxable income.

   9.      UNITED
STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
 
 (a)
              The
      financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
      Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("Canadian
      GAAP").   The differences between these principles and
      United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) are
      presented in Note 9(e).
 
 (b)
              Prior
      to 2006, under US GAAP, the Company applied SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for
      Stock-Based Compensation” ("SFAS 123") and SFAS 148 “Accounting for
      Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment to SFAS
      No. 123” to account for all stock based compensation arrangements granted
      using the fair value based method prescribed in SFAS 123. Stock-based
      compensation for non-employees was re-measured on each balance sheet date
      until such options vest. Compensation expense was recognized immediately
      for past services and pro-rata for future services over the option-vesting
      period.
 
 Beginning
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the recommendations of the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, "Accounting for Stock-based
Compensation" (“SFAS 123(R)”), and has applied the recommendations of this
standard using the modified prospective method. Under this application, the
Company is required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after
the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards
that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. Prior to the adoption of SFAS
123(R), the Company followed SFAS 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”
to account for all stock-based compensation. Accordingly, no prior periods were
restated or cumulative adjustments recorded upon the adoption of this
standard.  During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company
extended the life of certain warrants and the impact of the extensions on the
financial statements is presented in Note 9(e).

 (c)
              In
      June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
      interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an
      interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FAS No. 109)” (“FIN 48”). This
      interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
      attribute for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
      This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition,
      classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
      disclosure and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance
      with this interpretation is a two-step process. In the first step,
      recognition, the Company determines whether it is more-likely-than-not
      that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including
      resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the
      technical merits of the position. The second step addresses measurement of
      a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not criteria. The tax
      position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than
      50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences
      between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the
      financial statements will generally result in a) an increase in a
      liability for income taxes payable or a reduction of an income tax refund
      receivable, b) a reduction in a deferred tax asset or an increase in a
      deferred tax liability or c) both a and b. Tax positions that previously
      failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be
      recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which
      that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer
      meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be
      de-recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which
      that threshold is no longer met. Use of a valuation allowance as described
      in FAS No. 109 is not an appropriate substitute for the de-recognition of
      a tax position. The requirement to assess the need for a valuation
      allowance for deferred tax assets based on sufficiency of future taxable
      income is unchanged by this interpretation. This Interpretation is
      effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
    2006.
 
 Effective
on January 1, 2007, the Company is subject to FIN 48 under US
GAAP.  The Company remains subject to examination of income tax
filings in Canadian federal and provincial jurisdictions.  The Company has
determined that it is subject to examination in Canada for all prior periods due
to the Company’s continued loss position in such jurisdictions until respective
statue of limitation.  The Company currently has no tax years under
examination. Material tax positions were examined under the
more-likely-than-not guidance provided by FIN 48.
 
 As a
result of the FIN 48 assessment, the Company concluded that it has not taken any
uncertain tax positions on any of its open tax returns that would materially
distort the Company’s financial statements. There was no material cumulative
effect of FIN 48 on the Company’s financial statements.  Based on the
management’s assessment of FIN 48, the Company concluded that it had no
significant impact on the results of operations or financial position, and
required no adjustment to the opening balance sheet accounts. The year-end
analysis supports the same conclusion, and the Company does not have an accrual
for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2008. As a result, tabular
reconciliation of beginning and ending balances would not be meaningful. If
interest and penalties were to be assessed, the Company would charge interest to
interest expense, and penalties to other operating expense. It is not
anticipated that unrecognized tax benefits would significantly increase or
decrease within 12 months of the reporting date.

STATES GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES - Continued
 
 (d)
Recently issued US accounting pronouncements:
 
 SFAS 157
 
 In
September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157,
“Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes
a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 are
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  The
adoption of SFAS 157 did not have an impact on the financial position or
operating results.
 
 SFAS 159
 
 In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment of FASB Statement No.
115” (“SFAS No. 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement is effective
for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007.  The
implementation of SFAS 159 did not have any impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
 
 SFAS
141R
 
 In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R “Business Combinations” and SFAS 160
“Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements”, which are both
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141R, which
will replace FAS 141, is applicable to business combinations consummated after
the effective date of December 15, 2008.  Earlier adoption is
prohibited.  Accordingly, a calendar year-end company is required to
record and disclose business combinations following existing GAAP until
January 1, 2009.  The implementation of these new standards is
not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements.
 
 SFAS 161
 
 In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161 “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities – an amendment of SFAS 133.  This Statement
requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging
activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This
Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application
encouraged. This Statement encourages, but does not require, comparative
disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The implementation of these
new standards is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s
financial statements.
 
 SFAS 162
 
 In May
2008, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”).  The new standard is
intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework,
or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing
financial statements that are presented in conformity with US generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) for non-governmental entities.  SFAS
162 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.

 (d)
              Recently
      issued US accounting
pronouncements:
  FSP
142-3
  In April
2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, "Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets" ("FSP 142-3").  FSP 142-3 amends the factors an
entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used in
determining the useful life of recognized intangible assets under FASB Statement
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets".  This new guidance
applies prospectively to intangible assets that are acquired individually or
with a group of other assets in business combinations and asset
acquisitions.  FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15,
2008.  Early adoption is prohibited.  FSP 142-3 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
  APB 14-1
  In May
2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") APB 14-1, "Accounting for
Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1").  FSP APB 14-1
clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon
either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are
not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, "Accounting for Convertible
Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants."  Additionally, FSP
APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account
for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the
entity's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in
subsequent periods.  FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years.  The implementation of APB
14-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial
statements as the Company currently has no convertible debt
instruments.
 
 EITF
07-5
  In March
2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument
(or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock.” Effective for the
Company as of January 1, 2009, EITF Issue No. 07-5 defines when adjustment
features within contracts are considered to be equity-indexed. Early adoption of
this standard is not permitted.  The Company is presently evaluating
the impact of adopting EITF Issue No. 07-5 on the Company’s financial
statements.

              The
      impact between Canadian GAAP and US GAAP on the financial statements is as
      follows::
 
 
 During the
year ended December 31, 2008, the Company extended the life of its
warrants.  Under the US GAAP, such extension resulted in a total
incremental fair value of $8,051 to be recorded as a dividend which would impact
the Company’s loss per share.  The impact of the warrant extension on
the Company’s financial statements is as follows:
