Acquisition and Maintenance of Mineral Rights in Peru
The general mining law of Peru defines and regulates all mining activity, from sampling and prospecting to commercialization, exploitation and processing. Mining concessions are granted in defined areas generally ranging from 100 to 1,000 hectares in size. Mining titles are irrevocable and perpetual, as long as the titleholder maintains payment of government fees. No royalties or other production-based monetary obligations are imposed on holders of mining concessions. Instead, a holder of mineral concessions must pay an annual maintenance fee of $3.00 per hectare for each concession actually acquired or for a pending application by June 30 of each year. The concession holder must sustain a minimum level of annual commercial production of greater than $100 per hectare in gross sales within eight years of the granting of the concession or, if the concession is not yet in production, the annual rental increases to $4.00 per hectare for the ninth through fourteenth years of the granting of the concession and to $10.00 per hectare thereafter. The concession will terminate if the annual fee is not paid for three years in total or for two consecutive years. The term of the concession is indefinite as long as the property is maintained by payment of rental fees.
The Peruvian Constitution and the Civil Code protect a mineral title holder by granting it the same rights as a private property holder. The holder's rights are distinct and independent from the ownership of the land on which it is located, even when both belong to the same person. Mining rights are defensible against third parties, transferable, chargeable and may be the subject of any contract or transaction.
Description, Location and Access
--------------------------------------------
The Mercedes 100 property is accessed from Lima by an excellent paved mountain highway to Concepcion, just 10 kilometers short of the provincial capital of Huancayo, then by a paved road to Santa Roda de Ocopa. A good all-weather gravel road connects Ocopa with Satipo, a village in the Amazonas river basin. The Mercedes Mine camp is 36 kilometers from Santa Rosa.
Although the property is within 12 degrees south of the equator, it lies between 4,300 and 4,500 meters above sea level in an area that is treeless and cold. There are two main seasons in the region of the property: a dry cool winter with sunny days and cold nights (to -4(0) Celsius) lasting from May to October, and a wet, cool summer that lasts from November to April and is characterized for its intense rains, snow and hail storms and average temperatures of 8(0) Celsius.
A 33 kilovolt power line follows the main gravel road past the Mercedes 100 property. Pomamanta, the nearest village to the property, about five kilometers to the east, is electrified on a limited basis. The line is 4.5 kilometers from the property site. Water for mining and drilling is available from streams and seeps in the hills above the property.
Nearby towns such as Concepcion and Huancayo are modern and offer most necessities. There is a narrow gauge railroad from Lima to Huancayo. This connects the mining and smelting center of La Oroya, 130 kilometers to the west.
On the property site, there is a large brick building that could be refurnished to serve as a camp for 20 to 30 people.
Mineralization and Exploration History
----------------------------------------------------
In the 1990's, Leader Mining Inc. entered into an option agreement with Mr. Peter Flueck for a 50% working interest in the property and in 1996, commissioned MPH Geological Consulting to assess the propertys potential. Although the report contained a range of values of zinc, lead, gold and silver mineralization found on the property, as well as calculations of proven, potential, probable and possible
6
reserves, we do not have sufficient information that would be necessary to determine if these figures are accurate or were calculated in accordance with acceptable mining standards.
Prior to our acquisition of the Mercedes 100 property, approximately $3,000,000 has been spent on the property. Most of these funds were spent on road building, re-opening underground workings on the property, topographical surveys, metallurgical tests, several exploitation campaigns and numerous sampling programs.
Geological Report: Mercedes 100 property
-------------------------------------------------------
We obtained a geological report on the Mercedes 100 property that was prepared by Guillermo Salazar, a professional geologist, of Calgary, Alberta. We commissioned the report in March 2004. The geological report summarizes the results of previous exploration on the Mercedes 100 property and makes a recommendation for further exploration work.
In his report, Mr. Salazar recommends further exploration of the Mercedes 100 property that would include the following:
1.
Survey of the propertys several known showings, adits and trenches. It is recommended that this be done by confirming that the property boundaries are properly located, that the portals, adits and trenches are re-located with respect to the property boundaries and to other cultural and topographic features such as access roads, camps, mine dumps and main rivers.
2.
There is about 200 tonnes of run-of-mine mineral in 50 kilogram sacks stacked along the road near the property. The sacks are in variable states of deterioration. They are, however, readily available for shipping if a nearby mill were to take the material for processing. The cost to us would include the cost of check assaying, re-sacking and transportation to the mill. Preliminary sampling of this rock indicates an average of 8.73 ounces per ton silver and 1.34% zinc. Mr. Salazar recommends that this be investigated.
3.
A drilling program consisting of sixteen drill holes and totaling 1,810 meters designed to test prospective areas of the claims is recommended.
4.
The geological interpretation of the claims needs to be confirmed. This requires the following:
§
a satellite image interprétation map. The primary objective of this would be to define the trace continuity of the faults and veins recognized on the property
§
a structural air photo and geological map. The air photos used for this map could also be used to produce a ground controlled topographic map without the errors in the government data packages.
The required detail of this recommendation depends on the results
§
From the survey described in paragraph one above the results from these studies should be followed up with careful prospecting of the targets thus defined.
Mr. Salazar proposes the following budget for exploration:

Survey the property's showings, adits and trenches:
$7,500
Truck rental (30 days at $100 per day):
$3,000
Check assaying of 220 tonnes, re-sacking of material

In January 2008 the Company commissioned Geologist Jeff Reeder to produce a new 43-101 report as well as an exploration program. On February 5, 2008 The Company received a budget to accomplish these objectives. A 43-101 report is currently being prepared and will be available to the company on March 15, 2009.
The budget has three phases and the work will be performed by Luc Pigeon (P.Geo.)
1) Mapping, sampling and surveying
2) Geophysics
3) 43-101 report writing.
Proposed Exploration Plan Mercedes 100 Project Central Peru
The exploration program will consist of basic mapping and sampling followed up by a geophysical survey. The program will be supervised by a Professional Geologist and will prepare an independent 43-101 report. The amounts are in US dollars.

Compliance with Government Regulation
-----------------------------------------------------
The General Mining Law of Peru is the primary body of law with regards to environmental regulations. It is administered by the Ministry of Energy and Mines (the MEM"). The MEM can require a mining company to prepare an environmental evaluation, an environmental impact assessment, a program for environmental management and adjustment and a closure plan. Mining companies are also subject to annual environmental audits.
A mining company that has completed its permitted exploration program must submit an impact study when applying for a new concession, to increase the size of its existing processing operations by more than 50% or to execute any other mining project. A company must also set forth its plan for compliance with the environmental laws and regulations, including its planned mining works, investments, monitoring systems, waste management control and site restoration. The plan is considered approved if the MEM does not respond after 60 days of filing. If the MEM or an "interested party" can show just cause, the plan may be modified during first year.
A mining company must also submit a closure plan for each component of its operations. The closure plan must outline the measures that will be taken to protect the environment over the short, medium and long term from solids, liquids and gasses generated by the mining works. The General Mining Law of Peru has in place a system of sanctions or financial penalties that can be levied against a mining company not in compliance with the environmental regulations.
Competitive Conditions
The mineral exploration business is a competitive industry. We are competing with many other exploration companies looking for minerals. We compete with numerous other companies which have resources far in excess of ours. Being a junior mineral exploration company, we compete with such other companies for financing and joint venture partners and exploration resources including professional geologists, camp staff, and mineral exploration supplies.
9
Raw Materials
The raw materials needed for our exploration program will include items such as camp equipment, sample bags, first aid supplies, groceries and propane. All of these types of materials are readily available from a variety of suppliers in either the town of Goldfield or the City of Las Vegas in Nevada.
Dependence on Major Customers
We have no customers.
Intellectual Property and Agreements
We have no intellectual property such as patents or trademarks. Additionally, we have no royalty agreements or labor contracts.
Government Approvals and Regulations
Exploration activities are subject to various national, state, foreign and local laws and regulations in Peru, which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters. We believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with applicable mining, health, safety and environmental statutes and the regulations passed thereunder in Peru.
The effect of these existing regulations on our business is that we are able to carry out our exploration program as we have described in this Prospectus. However, it is possible that future governments could change the regulations that could limit our ability to explore our claims; however, we believe this is highly improbable.
Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
We currently have no costs to comply with environmental laws concerning our exploration program.
Employees
The Company does not have any full time employees and the directors and officers devote such time as is required to the affairs of the Company. Once a major exploration program commences the Company will need the officers to devote more time to the activities of the Company or it will be required to hire consultants to undertake the work.

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-looking statements
This report contains "forward-looking statements" relating to us which represent our current expectations or beliefs, including statements concerning our operations, performance, financial condition and growth. For this purpose, any statement contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as "may", "anticipation", "intend", "could", "estimate", or "continue" or the negative or other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, such as credit losses, dependence on management and key personnel and variability of quarterly results, our ability to continue our growth strategy and competition, certain of which are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the information set forth in our audited financial statements for the period ended November 30, 2008.
Overview
Our plan of operations for the twelve months following the date of this annual report is to complete a secondary exploration program on the Mercedes 100 property. We anticipate that this program will cost approximately $250,000.
In addition, we anticipate spending $60,000 on professional fees, $240,000 on management fees, $30,000 on travel costs, and $40,000 on other administrative expenses.
Total expenditures over the next 12 months are therefore expected to be $620,000. We will not be able to proceed with either exploration program, or meet our administrative expense requirements, without additional financing.
We will not be able to complete the initial exploration programs on our mineral properties without additional financing. We currently do not have a specific plan of how we will obtain such funding; however, we anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. We may also seek to obtain short-term loans from our directors, although no such arrangement has been made. At this time, we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock or through a loan from our directors to meet our obligations over the next twelve months. We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.
Results of Operations for Period Ending November 30, 2008
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We did not earn any revenues during the period ending November 30, 2008. We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we have entered into commercial production of the Brookmount claims or the Mercedes property. We are presently in the pre-exploration stage of our business and we can provide no assurance that we will discover economic mineralization levels of minerals on either property, or if such minerals are discovered, that we will enter into commercial production.
13
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We incurred operating expenses in the amount of $452,522 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008 and $466,255 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007. Mineral property costs under these this operating expense comprised of $44,743 and $90,481 during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
These shares were issued to our directors and officers in the following amounts:
Peter Flueck & Grand Combe
15,155,555
Zaf Sungur
7,522,796
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue exploration activities. For these reasons our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
At November 30, 2008, we had assets of $10,575 (for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2007- $23,950) consisting of cash on hand of $10,575 (11/30/2007-$23,950), prepaid expenses of $Nil (11/30/2007-Nil), and capital assets of $Nil (11/30/2007-Nil). At the same date, we had $604,318 (11/30/2007-$410,163) in liabilities consisting of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $197,176 (11/30/2007- $210,082) and $407,142 (11/30/2007- $200,081) due to related parties.
Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We have expensed all development costs related to our establishment.
We expect to run at a loss for at least the next twelve months. We have no agreements for additional financing and cannot provide any assurance that additional funding will be available to finance our operations on acceptable terms in order to enable us to complete our plan of operations. There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our exploration of our mineral claims and our venture will fail.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements including arrangements that would affect our liquidity, capital resources, market risk support and credit risk support or other benefits.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Brookmount Explorations Inc .:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Brookmount Explorations Inc (An Exploration Stage Company) as of November 30, 2007 and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the year then ended and the period from inception on December 9, 1999 to November 30, 2007. 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.
The balance sheets at November 30, 2004 and 2003 and for the years then ended and the period from inception on December 9, 1999 to November 30, 2004 were audited by other auditors whose report dated January 31, 2005 included an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements for the period from December 9, 1999 (date of inception) to November 30, 2004 reflect a net loss of $553,021 of the related cumulative totals. The other auditors' report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to amounts included for such periods, is based solely on the report of such auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of another auditor, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company, as of November 30, 2007 , and the results of its operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders' deficit for the years then ended and for the period from inception on December 9 , 1999 to November 30, 2007, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, to date the Company has not generated any revenues from operations and requires additional funds to meet its obligations and fund the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in this regard are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of
Brookmount Explorations Inc.
(An Exploration Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brookmount Explorations Inc. (an exploration stage company) as of November 30, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in consolidated stockholders deficit and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended and the period December 9, 1999 (Inception) to November 30,2008. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the company management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. The cumulative consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and changes in stockholders' deficit for the period December 9, 1999 (inception) to November 30, 2007, which were audited by another auditor whose report have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the period December 9, 1999 (inception) to November 30, 2007 is based solely on the reports of the other auditor.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required at this time, to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Brookmount Explorations Inc. (an exploration stage company) at November 30, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended November 30, 2008 and the period December 9, 1999 (Inception) to November 30, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to consolidated financial statements, the Company is in the exploration stage, and has no permanently established source of revenue and is dependent on its ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations. These factors, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, raise substantial doubt that the Company will be able to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 1
Nature of Continued Operations and Basis of Presentation
The Company is an exploration stage company. The Company is incorporated in Nevada and was organized for the purpose of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties. The recoverability of amounts from properties acquired will be dependent upon discovery of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Companys interest in the underlying property, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to satisfy the expenditure requirements under the property agreement and to complete the development of the property and upon future profitable production.
In December 2006, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, Brookmount Peru SAC, in Peru. As at November 30, 2008, this subsidiary is inactive and has no assets or liabilities.
Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $593,743 at November 30, 2008 and has incurred losses since inception of $5,185,790 and further losses are anticipated in the development of its mineral properties raising substantial doubt as to the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on raising additional capital to fund ongoing exploration and development and ultimately on generating future profitable operations. Management plans to continue funding the Companys operations with advances, other debt sources and further equity placements.

Summaries of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in United States dollars.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly subsidiary. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Exploration Stage Company
The Company complies with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7 its characterization of the Company as an exploration stage enterprise.
Mineral Property
The Company is primarily engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized in accordance with EITF 04-2 when management has determined that probable future benefits consisting of a contribution to future cash inflows, have been identified and adequate financial resources are available or are expected to be available as required to meet the terms of property acquisition and budgeted exploration and development expenditures.
Mineral property acquisition costs are expensed as incurred if the criteria for capitalization is not met. Mineral property exploration costs are expensed as incurred. When it has been determined that a mineral property can be economically developed as a result of establishing proven and probable reserves, the costs incurred to develop such property are capitalized. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has incurred only acquisition and exploration costs which have been expensed. To date the Company has not established any proven or probable reserves on its mineral properties.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
The preparation of consolidated 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into their United States dollar equivalents using foreign exchange rates which prevailed at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange during the year. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are recorded at fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157.
Environmental Costs
Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable, and the cost can be reasonably estimated. Generally, the timing of these accruals coincides with the earlier of completion of a feasibility study or the Companys commitments to plan of action based on the then known facts.
Income Taxes
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values and their respective income tax basis (temporary differences). The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
At November 30, 2008 a full deferred tax asset valuation allowance has been provided and no deferred tax asset benefit has been recorded.
Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Dilutive loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Because the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities, basic loss per share is equal to dilutive loss per share.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company has not adopted a stock option plan and has not granted any stock options. Accordingly no stock-based compensation has been recorded to date.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements. This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that SFAS No. 160 will have on its financial statements. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Companys fiscal year beginning December 1, 2009. Management has determined that the accounting standard will have no effect on the Company.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141R, Business Combinations, SFAS 141R replaces SFAS 141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized. Management has determined that the accounting standard will have no effect on the Company.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 161 on its financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP FAS 142-3) which amends the factors an entity should consider in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (FAS No. 142). FSP FAS 142-3 applies to intangible assets that are acquired individually or with a group of assets and intangible assets acquired in both business combinations and asset acquisitions. It removes a provision under FAS No. 142, requiring an entity to consider whether a contractual renewal or extension clause can be accomplished without substantial cost or material modifications of the existing terms and conditions associated with the asset. Instead, FSP FAS 142-3 requires that an entity consider its own experience in renewing similar arrangements. An entity would consider market participant assumptions regarding renewal if no such relevant experience exists. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for year ends beginning after December 15, 2008 with early adoption prohibited. We have not yet determined the effect, if any, of the adoption of this statement on our financial condition or results of operations.
In June 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 concludes that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities, and thus, should be included in the two-class method of computing earnings per share (EPS). FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. Early application of EITF 03-6-1 is prohibited. It also requires that all prior-period EPS data be adjusted retrospectively. We have not yet determined the effect, if any, of the adoption of this statement on our financial condition or results of operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13" ("FSP 157-1") and FASB Staff Position 157-2, "Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157" ("FSP 157-2"). FSP 157-1 amends SFAS 157 to remove certain leasing transactions from its scope. FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted SFAS 157 effective December 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities as required. The adoption of SFAS 157 was not material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.
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 159) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS 159 is an elective standard which permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Subsequent unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any assets or liabilities under SFAS 159.
Note 3
Commitments & Contingencies
On May 13, 2005, the Company signed a Letter of Agreement with a private corporation Jemma Resources Corp. (Jemma) to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Jemma. Significant terms contained in the Letter of Agreement were the appointment of two of Jemmas directors to the Companys board of directors, Jemma completing a debt financing of $15 million, the Companys right to elect not to proceed with the transaction resulting in all advances made to Jemma by the Company being refundable, and the replacement of the Letter of Agreement with a binding contract. The purchase price consisted of 3,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company, 3,000,000 share purchase warrants at $1.50 per warrant exercisable within 24 months from the date of the agreement and approximately CDN $75,000 in refundable advances to secure an extension for the option to purchase a mineral property and for operating costs. During May 2005 two directors of Jemma were appointed to the Companys board of directors. During the year ended November 30, 2005, the Company advanced $43,617 (CDN $54,400) pursuant to the Letter of Agreement. At November 30, 2005 the Letter of Agreement had not been replaced by a binding contract and Jemma had not raised the debt financing as contemplated in the Letter of Agreement. Accordingly the Companys management decided not to proceed with this transaction. The decision was as a result of the Companys due diligence and Jemmas inability to raise the agreed financing. As a result, the advances totaling $43,617 became refundable pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Agreement. As of November 30, 2008, the Company has not received the funds from Jemma. Due to delays in collecting this advance the Company has fully provided against this advance during the year ended November 30, 2006.

Note 3
Commitments & Contingencies (continued)
During the year ending November 30, 2006, $150,000 was withdrawn from the Companys bank account by a former director of the Company. The former director was not an authorized signatory on the Companys bank account and had not been granted any such authority to withdraw the funds by the Companys Board of Directors. Upon completion of an investigation, the Company determined that the former director had not used the funds for corporate purposes. The Company took legal action against the former director in an effort to recover the $150,000. As a result, the Supreme Court of British Columbia ordered the former director to pay the Company a sum of USD $173,700 plus accrued interest of USD $5,341 and legal fee $20,959 The sum of $200,000 was received by the Company in May 2008 and included as other income.
On June 29, 2006, a former director of the Company commenced legal action against the Company and its director. The former director claimed damages in excess of $5,000,000 for alleged breach of contract, libel, fraud, intentional deceit, wrongful conduct and emotional distress. On February 12, 2007 the United States District Court issued a notice of dismissal. The legal action against the Company was dismissed in its entirety.

Conflicts of Interest
We do not have any written procedures in place to address conflicts of interest that may arise between our business and the future business activities of Mr. Flueck.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
We do not have a financial expert serving on an audit committee as we do not have an audit committee because our board of directors has determined that as a start-up exploration company with no revenues it would be too expensive to have one.

Role and Responsibilities of the Board
The Board of Directors oversees the conduct and supervises the management and consultants of our business and affairs pursuant to the powers vested in it by and in accordance with the requirements of the Revised Statutes of Nevada. The Board of Directors holds regular meetings to consider particular issues or conduct specific reviews whenever deemed appropriate.
Our Board of Directors considers good corporate governance to be important to our effective operations. Our directors are elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders and serve until their successors are elected or appointed. Officers are appointed by the Board of Directors and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors or until their earlier resignation or removal.
As we have only two directors and one executive officer, there are no arrangements or understandings pursuant to which a director or executive officer was selected to be a director or executive officer.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics within the meaning of Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Code of Ethics applies to directors and senior officers, such as the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, controller, and persons performing similar functions.

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock, as of the date of this registration statement, by (i) each person (including any group) who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of any class of the voting securities of our company; (ii) each of our directors, and (iii) officers and directors as a group.
Each common share entitles the holder thereof to one vote in respect of any matters that may properly come before our stockholders. To the best of our knowledge, there exist no arrangements that could cause a change in voting control of our company. Unless otherwise indicated, the persons named below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws where applicable.
Title of Class | Name | Relationship to Company | Number of Shares | Percent Owned (1) |
Common Stock | Peter Flueck | Director, President and CEO | 14,905,555 | 39% |
Common Stock | Zaf Sungur | Consultant, Previous COO | 7,270,344 | 19% |
(1)
The percent ownership of class is based on 38,352,669 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the date of this report.
Under the rules of the Commission, a person (or group of persons) is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if he or she, directly or indirectly, has or shares the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Accordingly, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security, which that person has the right to acquire within 60 days, such as options or warrants to purchase our common stock.
