|   | Canyon Copper Corp., (the Company), was incorporated in
      the State of Nevada, U.S.A. on January 21, 2000 under the name Aberdene
      Mines Limited. On August 7, 2006, the Company changed its name to Canyon
      Copper Corp. The Company is an exploration stage company, as defined by
      Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards
      Codification (ASC) 915, Development Stage Entities. The Companys
      principal business plan is to acquire, explore and develop mineral
      properties and ultimately seek earnings by exploiting mineral
      claims.

|   | The Company has been in the exploration stage since its
      formation in January 2000 and has not yet realized any revenues from its
      planned operations. It is primarily engaged in the acquisition,
      exploration and development of mineral properties. Upon location of a
      commercial mineable reserve, the Company will actively prepare the site
      for extraction and enter a development stage. At present, management
      devotes most of its activities to raising sufficient funds to further
      explore and develop its mineral properties. Planned principal activities
      have not yet begun. The ability of the Company to emerge from the
      exploration stage with respect to any planned principal business activity
      is dependent upon its successful efforts to raise additional debt or
      equity financing and/or attain profitable mining operations. As at
      September 30, 2010, the Company has not generated any revenue, has a
      working capital deficit of $500,775, and has accumulated losses of
      $21,305,008 since inception. The Company also has significant mineral
      property acquisition and exploration commitments. There is no guarantee
      that the Company will be able to complete any of the above objectives.
      These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to
      continue as a going concern.

|   | Managements plan for the next twelve months is to
      continue initial exploration activities on the New York Canyon Project in
      Nevada. The agreements pursuant to which the Company acquired its
      interests in the New York Canyon Project provide for a series of cash
      payments and annual filing maintenance costs. If the Company fails to make
      such payments or expenditures in a timely fashion, it may lose its
      interest in those properties. As at September 30, 2010, the Company had
      cash of $4,211 on hand, and for the next twelve months, management
      anticipates that the minimum cash requirements to fund its proposed
      exploration program and continued operations will be $942,000.
      Accordingly, the Company does not have sufficient funds to meet planned
      expenditures over the next twelve months, and will need to seek additional
      debt or equity financing to meet its planned expenditures. There is no

technical problems occur. While the Company considers these assumptions may be
reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be
incorrect. Actual results may vary from such forward-looking information for a
variety of reasons, including but not limited to risks and uncertainties
disclosed in the section titled Part II - Item 1A. Risk Factors in this
Quarterly Report.

We intend to discuss in our Quarterly Reports and Annual
Reports any events or circumstances that occurred during the period to which
such documents relate that are reasonably likely to cause actual events or
circumstances to differ materially from those disclosed in this Quarterly
Report. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for
management to predict all of such factors and to assess in advance the impact of
each such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or
combination of such factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in any forwarding looking statement.

We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents
we file from time to time with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC), particularly our periodic reports filed with the SEC
pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

OVERVIEW

We were incorporated on January 21, 2000 under the laws of the
State of Nevada.

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition,
exploration and development of mineral properties. We currently hold 100% title
in two major claim blocks comprising a total of 1,293 mineral claims, covering
approximately 25,860 acres located in Mineral County, Nevada (the New York
Canyon Claims). We also hold 21 patented mineral claims covering an area of
approximately 420 acres, located within the vicinity of the New York Canyon
Claims area. We collectively refer to the New York Canyon Claims and the
patented claims as the New York Canyon Project.

We have not earned any revenues to date and do not anticipate
earning revenues until such time as we enter into commercial production of our
mineral properties. We are presently in the exploration stage of our business
and we can provide no assurance that commercially viable mineral deposits exist
on our claims or that we will discover commercially exploitable levels of
mineral resources on our properties, or if such deposits are discovered, that we
will enter into further substantial exploration programs.

RECENT CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS

Since the filing of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2010 with the SEC on September 28, 2010, we experienced the following
significant corporate developments:

|1. | On October 7, 2010, we entered into a loan agreement (the
      Loan Agreement) with Anthony Harvey, our Chief Executive Officer,
      Chairman and member of our Board of Directors, whereby Mr. Harvey loaned
      $50,000 (USD) to us. The loan is due on or before April 1, 2012 and incurs
      interest at a rate of 15% per annum, payable upon maturity.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
|-- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|2. | On October 28, 2010, our Board of Directors approved a
      79-for-100 reverse split of our common stock (the Reverse Stock Split).
      Upon completion of the Reverse Stock Split, our authorized capital of
      common stock will be decreased from 166,666,666 shares, par value $0.00001
      per share, to 131,666,666 shares, par value $0.00001 per share, and the
      issued and outstanding common stock will be reduced from 78,390,307 shares
      to approximately 61,928,343 shares subject to rounding up of any
      fractional shares to the nearest whole number. The Reverse Stock Split is
      expected to be effective on November 24, 2010.

PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion and analysis summarizes our plan of
operation for the next twelve months, our results of operations for the three
month period ended September 30, 2010 and changes in our financial condition
from June 30, 2010. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30,
2010 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2010.

Due to insufficient financing, we did not conduct any
exploration work on our New York Canyon Project during the three month period
ended September 30, 2010. Our exploration program for the New York Canyon
Project involves the following:

| | (i)   | Re-analysis of 2006 Longshot Ridge drill pulps, duplicate
      samples, blank samples and standards by an independent laboratory to
      determine the correct copper values;
| | ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (ii)  | Acquiring representative mineralized material at Longshot
      Ridge for metallurgical test work samples to determine the optimal copper
      beneficiation process;         
| |       |                                                                                                                                                                                
| | (iii) | Initiate environmental base line studies for permitting
      advanced exploration.                                                                                            

In order to implement our exploration program and to continue
our operations, we anticipate that we will require the following:

As at September 30, 2010, we had cash of $4,211 and, for the
next twelve months, management anticipates that the minimum cash requirements to
fund our proposed exploration program and our continued operations will be
$942,000. We do not have sufficient funds to meet our planned expenditures over
the next twelve months and will need to seek financing to meet our planned
expenditures. However, there is no assurance we will be successful in raising
the necessary funding or on terms that are acceptable to us. Since inception, we
have been dependent on investment capital and debt financing from third parties
as our primary source of liquidity. We anticipate continuing to rely on sales of
shares of our common stock and loans in order to continue to fund our business
operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in further dilution of
our existing shareholders.

Revenues

We have not earned any revenues to date and do not anticipate
earning revenues until such time as we enter into commercial production of our
mineral properties. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in
discovering commercial quantities or that we can commercially produce metals or
minerals. We are presently an exploration stage company engaged in the search
for mineral reserves. We can provide no assurances that we will be able to
discover any commercially exploitable levels of mineral resources on our
property, or, even if such resources are discovered, that we will be able to
enter into commercial production of our mineral properties.

Expenses

Our expenses for the three month periods ended September 30,
2010 and 2009 consisted of the following:

|                           |   | Three Months Ended

Our operating expenses decreased from $709,050, during the
three months ended September 30, 2009, to $319,521, during the three months
ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in our operating expenses is due to
decreases in general and administrative expenses and foreign exchange loss.

General and administration expenses primarily consisted of: (i)
consulting fees incurred for services provided by our executive officers; and
(ii) legal and accounting fees in connection with meeting our ongoing reporting
requirements under the Exchange Act. The additional general and administrative
expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2009 is due to the fact
that we recorded a stock-based compensation of $362,614.

---

Mineral exploration costs consisted of annual payments to
maintain the New York Canyon Project in good standing, mineral lease payments
and consulting fees in connection with our New York Canyon Project.

We anticipate that our expenses will increase over the next
twelve months due to our ongoing planned exploration activities on the New York
Canyon Project.

      Period | $ | (248,707           | ) | $ | 138,707            |  

The increase in our working capital deficit from $181,254, as
at June 30, 2010, to $500,775, as at September 30, 2010, was primarily a result
of (i) a significant decrease in cash in order to meet ongoing operating
expenses and mineral claim payments on our New York Canyon Project; and (ii) the
fact that we had no sources of financing during the six month ended September
30, 2010.

Future Financings

Our plan of operation calls for significant expenses in
connection with the exploration of the New York Canyon Project and requires us
to obtain financing. We recorded a net loss of $319,521 for the three months
ended September 30, 2010 and have an accumulated deficit of $21,305,008 since
inception. As at September 30, 2010, we had cash of $4,211 and, for the next
twelve months, management anticipates that the minimum cash requirements to fund
our proposed exploration program and our continued operations will be $942,000.
Accordingly, we do not have sufficient funds to meet our planned expenditures
over the next twelve months and will need to seek financing to meet our planned
expenditures. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing in
the future.

Obtaining financing is subject to a number of factors,
including the market prices for the mineral property and copper. These factors
may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing
unavailable to us. Since our inception, we have used our common stock to raise
money for our operations and for our property acquisitions. We have not attained
profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue our
plan of operation. For these reasons, our independent auditors believe there
exists a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

None.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We have identified certain accounting policies, described
below, that are most important to the portrayal of our current financial
condition and results of operations. Our significant accounting policies are
disclosed in Note 2 to our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report
for the year ended June 30, 2010 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2010.

Mineral Property Costs

We have been in the exploration stage since our inception on
January 21, 2000 and have not yet realized any revenues from our planned
operations. We are primarily engaged in the acquisition and exploration of
mining properties. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred.
Mineral property acquisition costs are initially capitalized. We assess the
carrying costs for impairment under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment at
each fiscal quarter end. When we have been determined that a mineral property
can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable
reserves, the costs then incurred to develop such property, are capitalized.
Such costs will be amortized using the units-of-production method over the
estimated life of the probable reserve. If mineral properties are subsequently
abandoned or impaired, any capitalized costs will be charged to operations.

Long-Lived Assets

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

Stock-Based Compensation

We record stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718,
Compensation  Stock Based Compensation and ASC 505, Equity Based Payments to
Non-Employees, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation
expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based awards made to
employees and directors, including stock options.

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of
share-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. We use
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model as its method of determining fair value.
This model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a
number of subjective variables. These subjective variables include, but are not
limited to our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and
actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The value of the
portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as an
expense in the statement of operations over the requisite service period.

All transactions in which goods or services are the
consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for
based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the
equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.

QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

ITEM 4T.     CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e)) as of September 30, 2010 (the Evaluation Date). This evaluation
was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the Evaluation Date
as a result of the material weaknesses disclosed in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 (the 2010 Annual Report) filed with the
SEC on September 28, 2010.

Disclosure controls and procedures are those controls and
procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Notwithstanding the assessment that our internal control over
financial reporting was not effective and that there were material weaknesses as
identified in our 2010 Annual Report, we believe that our financial statements
contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September
30, 2010 fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash
flows in all material respects.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2010 that
have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.        LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS.

Other than as previously disclosed in our 2010 Annual Report,
we are not party to any legal proceedings and there have been no material
developments to the proceedings previously disclosed in our 2010 Annual
Report.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS.

The following are some of the important factors that could
affect our financial performance or could cause actual results to differ
materially from estimates contained in our forward-looking statements. We may
encounter risks in addition to those described below. Additional risks and
uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be
immaterial, may also impair or adversely affect our business, financial
condition or results of operation.

We lack an operating history and have losses which we expect
to continue into the future. As a result, we may have to suspend or cease
exploration activities and if we do not obtain sufficient financing, our
business will fail.

We were incorporated on January 21, 2000 and to date have been
involved primarily in organizational activities, the acquisition of mineral
claims and the exploration and development on these claims. We have no
exploration history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure
can be made. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash
flow is dependent upon: (i) our ability to locate a profitable mineral property;
and (ii) our ability to generate revenues.

Our plan of operation calls for significant expenses in
connection with the exploration of the New York Canyon Project, which will
require us to obtain financing. We recorded a net loss of $319,521 for the three
months ended September 30, 2010 and have an accumulated deficit of $21,305,008
since inception. As at September 30, 2010, we had cash of $4,211 and for the
next twelve months, management anticipates that the minimum cash requirements to
fund our proposed exploration program and our continued operations will be
$942,000. Accordingly, we do not have sufficient funds to meet our planned
expenditures over the next twelve months and will need to seek financing to meet
our planned expenditures.

Obtaining financing would be subject to a number of factors,
including the market prices for the mineral property and base and precious
metals. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of
additional financing unavailable to us. Since our inception, we have used our
common stock to raise money for our operations and for our property
acquisitions. We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon
obtaining financing to pursue our plan of operation. For these reasons, our
independent auditors believe there exists a substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern.

Because we anticipate our operating expenses will increase
prior to our earning revenues, we may never achieve profitability.

Prior to completion of our exploration stage, we anticipate
that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues.
We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We
recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the
exploration of our mineral claims and the production of minerals thereon, if
any, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no
history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will
prove successful, and we may not be able to ever generate any operating revenues
or achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these
risks, our business will most likely fail.

Because we are an exploration stage company, our business
has a high risk of failure.

As noted in the financial statements that are included with
this report, we are an exploration stage company that has incurred net losses
since inception, we have not attained profitable operations and we are dependent
upon obtaining adequate financing to complete our exploration activities. These
conditions, as indicated in our audit report included in our 2010 Annual Report,
raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The
success of our business operations will depend upon our ability to obtain
further financing to complete our planned exploration program and to attain
profitable operations. If we are not able to complete a successful exploration
program and attain sustainable profitable operations, then our business will
fail.

Because we have not commenced business operations, we face a
high risk of business failure.

We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this
Quarterly Report. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties
normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of
failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in
light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays
encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we
plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to,
unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and
expenses that may exceed current estimates.

We have no known mineral reserves and if we cannot find any,
we will have to cease operations.

We have no mineral reserves. Mineral exploration is highly
speculative. It involves many risks and is often non-productive. Even if we are
able to find mineral reserves on our property our production capability is
subject to further risks including:

- Costs of bringing the property into production including exploration work,
  preparation of production feasibility studies, and construction of production
  facilities, all of which we have not budgeted for;
- Availability and costs of financing;
- Ongoing costs of production; and
- Environmental compliance regulations and restraints.

The marketability of any minerals acquired or discovered may be
affected by numerous factors which are beyond our control and which cannot be
accurately predicted, such as market fluctuations, the lack of milling
facilities and processing equipment near the New York Canyon Project and such
other factors as government regulations, including regulations relating to
allowable production, exporting of minerals, and environmental protection. If we
do not find a mineral reserve or define a mineral inventory containing gold,
silver, copper, zinc or iron or if we cannot explore the mineral reserve, either
because we do not have the money to do it or because it will not be economically
feasible to do it, we will have to cease operations and investors will lose
their investment.

In order to maintain our rights to the New York Canyon
Project, we will be required to make annual filings with federal and state
regulatory agencies and/or be required to complete assessment work on the New
York Canyon Project.

In order to maintain our rights to the New York Canyon Project,
we will be required to make annual filings with federal and state regulatory
authorities. Currently the amount of these fees is approximately $195,000;
however, these maintenance fees are subject to adjustment. In addition, we may
be required by federal and/or state legislation or regulations to complete
minimum annual amounts of mineral exploration work on the New York Canyon
Project. A failure by us to meet the annual maintenance requirements under
federal and state laws could cause our rights to the New York Canyon Project to
lapse.

Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral
exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages if and when
we conduct mineral exploration activities.

The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As
a result, if and when we conduct exploration activities we may become subject to
liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards
against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. The
payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial
position.

If the price of base and precious metals declines, our
financial condition and ability to obtain future financings will be
impaired.

The price of base and precious metals is affected by numerous
factors, all of which are beyond our control. Factors that tend to cause the
price of base and precious metals to decrease include the following:

| | (a) | Sales or leasing of base and precious metals by
      governments and central banks;

| | (c) | Speculative trading;                                                                                                                                                                                                      
| |     |                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
| | (d) | Decreased demand for base and precious metals industrial,
      jewelry and investment uses;                                                                                                                              
| |     |                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
| | (e) | High supply of base and precious metals from production,
      disinvestment, scrap and hedging;                                                                                                                          
| |     |                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
| | (f) | Sales by base and precious metals producers and foreign
      transactions and other hedging transactions; and                                                                                                            
| |     |                                                                                                                                                                                                                           
| | (g) | Devaluing local currencies (relative to base and precious
      metals price in US dollars) leading to lower production costs and higher
      production in certain major base and precious metals producing
    regions.

Our business is dependent on the price of base and precious
metals. We have not undertaken hedging transactions in order to protect us from
a decline in the price of base and precious metals. A decline in the price of
base and precious metals may also decrease our ability to obtain future
financings to fund our planned development and exploration programs.

If we are unable to hire and retain key personnel, we may
not be able to implement our business plan.

Our success is dependent upon the performance of key personnel
working full-time in management, supervisory and administrative capacities or as
consultants. This is particularly true in highly technical businesses such as
mineral exploration. These individuals are in high demand and we may not be able
to attract the personnel we need. The loss of the services of senior management
or key personnel could have a material and adverse effect on us, our business
and results of operations. Failure to hire key personnel when needed, or on
acceptable terms, would have a significant negative effect on our business.

As we undertake exploration of our mineral claims, we will
be subject to compliance with government regulation that may increase the
anticipated cost of our exploration program.

There are several governmental regulations that materially
restrict mineral exploration. We are 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. If we enter the production phase, the cost of
complying with permit and regulatory environment laws will be greater because
the impact on the project area is greater. Permits and regulations will control
all aspects of the production program if the project continues to that stage.
Examples of regulatory requirements include:

| | (a) | Water discharge will have to meet drinking water
      standards;                                                                               
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b) | Dust generation will have to be minimal or otherwise
      re-mediated;

| | (c) | Dumping of material on the surface will have to be
      re-contoured and re-vegetated with natural vegetation;                                 
| |     |                                                                                                                                                 
| | (d) | An assessment of all material to be left on the surface
      will need to be environmentally benign;                                           
| |     |                                                                                                                                                 
| | (e) | Ground water will have to be monitored for any potential
      contaminants;                                                                    
| |     |                                                                                                                                                 
| | (f) | The socio-economic impact of the project will have to be
      evaluated and if deemed negative, will have to be re-mediated;
  and             
| |     |                                                                                                                                                 
| | (g) | There will have to be an impact report of the work on the
      local fauna and flora including a study of potentially endangered
      species.

There is a risk that new regulations could increase our costs
of doing business and prevent us from carrying out our exploration program. We
will also have to sustain the cost of reclamation and environmental remediation
for all exploration work undertaken. Both reclamation and environmental
remediation refer to putting disturbed ground back as close to its original state as possible. Other
potential pollution or damage must be cleaned-up and renewed along standard
guidelines outlined in the usual permits. Reclamation is the process of bringing
the land back to its natural state after completion of exploration activities.
Environmental remediation refers to the physical activity of taking steps to
remediate, or remedy, any environmental damage caused. The amount of these costs
is not known at this time as we do not know the extent of the exploration
program that will be undertaken beyond completion of the recommended work
program. If remediation costs exceed our cash reserves we may be unable to
complete our exploration program and have to abandon our operations.

If we become subject to increased environmental laws and
regulation, our operating expenses may increase.

Our development and production operations are regulated by both
US Federal and Nevada state environmental laws that relate to the protection of
air and water quality, hazardous waste management and mine reclamation. These
regulations will impose operating costs on us. If the regulatory environment for
our operations changes in a manner that increases costs of compliance and
reclamation, then our operating expenses would increase with the result that our
financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

If we complete a financing through the sale of additional
shares of our common stock, shareholders will experience dilution.

The most likely source of future financing presently available
to us is through the issuance of our common stock. Any sale of share capital
will result in dilution to existing shareholders. The only other anticipated
alternative for the financing of further exploration would be the offering by us
of an interest in our properties to be earned by another party or parties
carrying out further exploration thereof, which is not presently
contemplated.

Because our stock is a penny stock, stockholders will be
more limited in their ability to sell their stock.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices
in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally
equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities
registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq
system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to
transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or quotation system.

Because our securities constitute "penny stocks" within the
meaning of the rules, the rules apply to us and to our securities. The rules may
further affect the ability of owners of shares to sell our securities in any
market that might develop for them. As long as the quotation price of our common
stock is less than $5.00 per share, the common stock will be subject to Rule
15g-9 under the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer,
prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk
disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that:

      the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any
transaction in a penny stock, the customer with: (a) bid and offer quotations
for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask
prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and
liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statements
showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In
addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny
stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a
special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for
the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt
of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving
penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.
These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading
activity in the secondary market for our stock.
