NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – Organization

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (the “Company” or “We” or “Liberty Star”) was formerly Liberty Star Gold Corp. and formerly Titanium Intelligence, Inc. (“Titanium”). Titanium was incorporated on August 20, 2001 under the laws of the State of Nevada. On February 5, 2004 we commenced operations in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business. Big Chunk Corp. (“Big Chunk”) is our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on December 14, 2003 in the State of Alaska. Big Chunk is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business in the State of Alaska. Redwall Drilling Inc. (“Redwall”) is our wholly owned subsidiary and was incorporated on August 31, 2007 in the State of Arizona. Redwall is a drilling contractor. On December 1, 2007 Redwall began performing drilling services on the Company’s mineral properties. In April 2007, the Company changed its name to Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. to reflect the Company’s current concentrated efforts on uranium exploration. The Company is considered to be an exploration stage company, as it has not generated any revenues from operations.

In December 2006, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement (“Elle Venture”) with XState Resources Limited (“XState”). The Company holds a 50% interest in the Elle Venture, a general partnership with XState that was formed to explore and, if warranted, develop certain US Federal lode mining claims within the North Pipes Super Project area on the Arizona strip, Northern Arizona. The Elle Venture ceased exploration activities in 2008.

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and cash flows of Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. and it’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Big Chunk and Redwall, from the dates of acquisition. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation.

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America with the on-going assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, certain conditions noted below currently exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the issuance of common stock and debt. Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company’s ability to complete equity financings or generate profitable operations in the future. Management’s plan in this regard is to secure additional funds through future equity financings, joint venture agreements or debt. Such financings may not be available, may not be available on reasonable terms, or the Company may be prevented from obtaining further financings because of restrictions that apply to it pursuant to the Convertible Promissory Notes discussed in Note 6.

NOTE 2 – Interim financial statement disclosure

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2009 as filed with the SEC under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted, as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures which are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at October 31, 2009 and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Interim results are subject to significant seasonal variations and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 3 - Summary of significant accounting policies

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. Such condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of the Company’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP") in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company are as follows:

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The valuation of stock-based compensation, valuation of common stock purchase warrants, value of embedded conversion options, value of beneficial conversion features, and the determination of useful lives and recoverability of depreciable assets are significant estimates made by management. It is at least reasonably possible that a change in these estimates may occur in the near term.

Principles of consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Big Chunk and Redwall, from their dates of acquisition, February 5, 2004 and August 31, 2007, respectively. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Mineral claim costs

Mineral claim costs of carrying, retaining and developing properties are charged to expense in the period incurred in our geological and geophysical costs.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost. The Company capitalizes all purchased equipment over $500 with a useful life of more than one year. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and are amortized over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while betterments or renewals are capitalized. Property and equipment is reviewed periodically for impairment. The estimated useful lives range from 2 to 7 years.

Convertible promissory notes

The Company accounts for convertible promissory notes as liabilities at fair value in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. The Company bifurcates conversion options and detachable common stock purchase warrants and reports them as liabilities at fair value at each reporting period when required in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. When convertible promissory notes are converted into shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the debt’s terms, no gain or loss is recognized. The Company accounts for inducements to convert as an expense in the period incurred, included in debt conversion expense.

NOTE 3 - Summary of significant accounting policies - continued

Net loss per share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of basic loss per share gives retroactive effect to an eight for one forward stock split on January 6, 2004 which resulted in 20,000,000 common shares outstanding. The calculation of basic loss per share gives retroactive effect to a one for four reverse stock split on September 1, 2009 which resulted in 67,261,764 common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per share takes into consideration shares of common stock outstanding (computed under basic loss per share) and potentially dilutive shares of common stock that are not anti-dilutive. At October 31, 2009 and January 31, 2009, there were 249,365,347 and 13,994,547, respectively, potentially dilutive instruments outstanding. Additionally, at October 31, 2009 and January 31, 2009 if settlement of the Convertible Promissory Notes were completed by the issuance of common shares there would be 928,837,684 and 1,886,792,667 shares, respectively, required to convert the notes. At October 31, 2009 and January 31, 2009 there are 1,250,000,000 and 200,000,000 shares authorized, respectively. These instruments were not included in the determination of diluted loss per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.

Recently issued accounting standards

With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months ended October 31, 2009, that are of significance, or potential significance, to us.

In August 2009, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the measurement of liabilities at fair value. This guidance is effective for the first reporting period (including interim periods) beginning after issuance. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 4 – Mineral claims

At October 31, 2009 the Company held a 100% interest in 1,775 standard Federal lode mining claims spanning approximately 60 square miles on the Colorado Plateau Province of Northern Arizona (the “North Pipes Claims”).

At October 31, 2009 the Company held a 50% interest in standard Federal lode mining claims covering 3 breccia pipe targets on the Colorado Plateau Province of Northern Arizona. These claims are owned through the Elle Venture, a general partnership in which the Company is a 50% partner.

At October 31, 2009 the Company held an option to explore 59 standard Federal lode mining claims located at the East Silver Bell and Walnut Creek region of Arizona. The mineral claims are owned by JABA US Inc, an Arizona Corporation in which two directors of the Company are owners.

At October 31, 2009 the Company held a 100% interest in 707 Alaska State mining claims spanning approximately 177 square miles in the Iliamna region of Southwestern Alaska, located on the north side of the Cook Inlet, approximately 200 miles southwest of the city of Anchorage, Alaska (the “Big Chunk Claims”).

At October 31, 2009 the Company held a 100% interest in 56 Alaska State mining claims spanning approximately 13.5 square miles in the Iliamna region of Southwestern Alaska, located on the north side of the Cook Inlet approximately 60 miles north of Lake Iliamna (the “Bonanza Hills Claims”).

Title to mineral claims involves certain inherent risks due to difficulties of determining the validity of certain claims as well as potential for problems arising from the frequently ambiguous conveyancing history characteristic of many mineral properties. The Company has investigated titles to all its mineral properties and, to the best of its knowledge, titles to all properties are in good standing as of October 31, 2009.

The exercise price may be adjusted if the Company issues other shares, warrants or stock options before the expiration of the warrants at a price less than $0.005 per share. The detachable common stock purchase warrants are reported as a liability at fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of warrants using the Black-Scholes valuation model, a level three fair value hierarchy. To estimate the fair value of the warrants, the Company used the following assumptions: 75% expected volatility; 0% expected dividend yield; 1 year expected term; and 1.61% risk-free interest rate.

Provided an event of default is not pending, the Company may prepay unconverted portions of the Note upon 20 days prior notice during which time noteholders may convert the amount of the note noticed for prepayment at the fixed conversion price. Such payment shall be equal to 125% of the principal amount being prepaid and the accrued interest. In the event that commencing on the date that is six months following the closing date and ending two years thereafter, Rule 144 is unavailable for the unrestricted resale of the conversion shares under the Notes, then the Company shall pay to the Investor as liquidated damages for each thirty days (or pro rata for periods shorter than thirty days) a sum equal to 1.75% of the purchase price of the outstanding notes.

The Company agreed to include at the option of each noteholder of the May 2009 and August 2009 notes the number of shares that may be converted pursuant to any note in any registration statement it files during such period, ahead of the rights granted to the subscribers in the May 2007 Convertible Notes and the subscribers in the August 2008 Convertible Notes. Noteholders are subject to certain limitations on their rights to convert the notes. The principal limitation is that unless waived, the holder may not, with certain limited exceptions, convert into a number of shares that would, together with other shares held by the holder, exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of the Company after such conversion.

The Company granted a senior security interest over all of the assets of the Company to the holders of the May 2007, August 2008, May 2009 and August 2009 Convertible Notes.

The rental period begins at noon September 1st through the following September 1st and annual rental payments are due on November 30th of each year. Annual rent is due in full within 45 days of staking a new claim and covers the period from staking until the next September 1st. Claims that are staked in accordance with AS 38.05.195(b)(1) meridian, township, range, section and claim system location “MTRSC” receive a one-time only credit of 50% of the second year’s rent payment.

Rentals for the period from September 1, 2008 through September 1, 2009 of $133,750 have been paid. The estimated state rentals due by November 30, 2009 for the period from September 1, 2009 through September 1, 2010 are $202,440. Alaska State production royalty is three percent of net income. State law prescribes that after a 3.5 -year exemption from state taxes a metal mine is liable for a 15% state licensing tax on net income from the mine.

The Company is required to pay annual rentals for its Federal lode mining claims for the North Pipes project in the State of Arizona. The rental period begins at noon on September 1st through the following September 1st and rental payments are due by the first day of the rental period.

NOTE 11 – Subsequent events

The Company issued 39,131,446 shares of common stock for conversions of $95,673of principal and $12,288 of accrued interest on the May 2007 and August 2008 Convertible Notes.

On November 27, 2009, we modified the August 2009 Convertible Notes so as to increase five such notes by an aggregate total of $206,212. Other aspects of the August 14, 2009 notes remain unchanged. Proceeds were used to pay annual land claim fees to the state of Alaska to retain our Big Chunk and Bonanza Hills mineral claims.

The company has evaluated subsequent events through December 15, 2009 which is the date the financial statements were issued.

NOTE 12 – Going concern

The Company is in the exploration stage, has incurred losses from operations, requires additional funds for further exploratory activity prior to attaining a revenue generating status, and is in default on its convertible promissory notes. There are no assurances that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties. In addition, the Company may not find sufficient ore reserves to be commercially mined. As such, the Company's auditors have expressed an uncertainty about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in their opinion attached to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009.

Management is working to secure additional funds through the exercise of stock warrants already outstanding, equity financings or joint venture agreements. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Much of the information included in this quarterly report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements". Such forward looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements".

Overview

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. Management’s Discussion and Analysis is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. (the “Company” or “We”) is in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business. Big Chunk Corp. (“Big Chunk”) is our wholly owned subsidiary and is engaged in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties business in the State of Alaska. Redwall Drilling Inc. (“Redwall”) is our wholly owned subsidiary and is a drilling contractor. We are an exploration stage company, as we have not generated revenues from operations. The Company’s significant projects are:

North Pipes Super Project (“NPSP”): Located in Northern Arizona on the Arizona Strip, we plan to ascertain whether the North Pipes Super Project claims possess commercially viable deposits of uranium. We have approximately 300 potential breccia pipe targets. We have not identified any ore reserves to date.

Big Chunk Super Project (“Big Chunk”): Located in the Iliamna region of Southwestern Alaska, we plan to ascertain whether the Big Chunk claims possess commercially viable deposits of copper, gold, molybdenum, silver and zinc. We have not identified any ore reserves to date.

Bonanza Hills Project (“Bonanza Hills”): Located in the Iliamna region of Southwestern Alaska, we plan to ascertain whether the Bonanza Hills claims possess commercially viable deposits of gold and silver. We have not identified any ore reserves to date.

East Silver Bell: The Company holds an option to explore 26 standard Federal lode mining claims located at the East Silver Bell region of Arizona. The mineral claims are owned by FOJ, LLC an Arizona Limited Liability Company in which two of our directors are owners. We have not identified any ore reserves to date.

Walnut Creek: The Company holds an option to explore 33 standard Federal lode mining claims located due east and southeast of the town of Tombstone, Arizona. The mineral claims are owned by FOJ, LLC an Arizona Limited Liability Company in which two of our directors are owners. We have not identified any ore reserves to date.

Elle Venture: On September 11, 2008, we announced that we and XState Resources have agreed that XState will maintain a 50% interest in three potential uranium breccia pipe exploration targets at North Pipes Super Project. Both parties entered into a formal 50/50 contributing joint venture in relation to the three breccia pipe targets. The previous "earn-in" agreement is terminated.

There is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties, and further exploration is required before we can evaluate whether any exist and, if so, whether it would be economically feasible to develop or exploit those resources. Even if we complete our current exploration program and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we would be required to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we could know whether that mineral deposit will constitute a reserve (a reserve is a commercially viable mineral deposit). Please refer to the section entitled "Risk Factors" for additional information about the risks of mineral exploration.


17

To date, we have not generated any revenues and we remain in the exploration stage. Our ability to pursue our business plan and generate revenues is subject to our ability to obtain additional financing, and we cannot give any assurance that we will be able to do so.

Material Changes in Financial Condition from January 31, 2009 to October 31, 2009

We had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $69,209 as of October 31, 2009 compared to $63,250 as of January 31, 2009. We had negative working capital of $(3,825,959) as of October 31, 2009 compared to $(2,258,655) as of January 31, 2009. We had cash inflows from financing activities of $676,181 during the nine months ended October 31, 2009 resulting from the sale of convertible promissory notes in May 2009 and August 2009. During the nine months ended October 31, 2009 the Company sold vehicles to generate cash inflows from investing activities of $63,640. The increase in our cash balance resulted from the cash inflow from sales of vehicles and convertible promissory notes exceeding the cash outflows for operations as we performed the minimum exploration activities required to maintain our mineral claims during the nine months ended October 31, 2009. The decrease in our working capital is the result of the increase in current liabilities from the sale of convertible promissory notes that mature in one year or less.

On May 21, 2009, the Company completed the sale of $170,668 principal amount of 12% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (“May 2009 Convertible Notes”) to six subscribers pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement between the parties dated May 21, 2009. On August 14, 2009, the Company completed the sale of $589,177 principal amount of 12% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (“August 2009 Convertible Notes”) to six subscribers pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement between the parties dated August 14, 2009. Net proceeds of $717,407 are intended to be used for mineral lease payments, offering expenses and working capital. The Company will require additional financing in order to maintain our mineral claims in good standing and perform additional exploration activities on our mineral claims.

The Company is in default on the May 2007 Convertible Notes, August 2008 Convertible Notes and May 2009 Convertible Notes and as such the entire obligations are reported as current liabilities. The note holders have a security interest in all assets and mineral properties and as a result the Company is unable to sell any assets without prior approval from the note holders. The Convertible Promissory Notes entered into in May 2007 contains restrictions on raising new capital from the sale of registered stock to other investors. We are also limited to raising up to $7,000,000 in private placement funds during the 2 year term of the Unsecured Convertible Promissory Notes. The August 2008 Convertible Notes, May 2009 Convertible Notes, and August 2009 Convertible Notes contain restrictions that require that the May 2007, August 2008, May 2009 and August 2009 convertible notes be repaid in full from the first $3,000,000 of financings completed by the Company. These restrictions may make it difficult for us to raise the cash required to proceed with our planned exploration activities. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on their investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable. The company does not plan to make any capital expenditures for new mineral claims or equipment during the next twelve months.

In addition to the restrictions placed on us by our various financing agreements, the recent weakening of economic conditions in the U.S. and around the world could have harmful effects on our ability to raise money to fund our planned operations. If this happens, we would likely go out of business and our investors will lose their entire investment in our company.

We believe that recent decreases in value of the common shares of many companies worldwide will make selling shares of our common stock increasingly difficult. If we are not able to sell enough of our shares to meet our financial needs, we will have to consider borrowing the money we need. A tightening of credit conditions has also been experienced in the economy recently. Because of the recent credit crisis, it is possible that we would not be able to borrow adequate amounts to fund our operations on terms and at rates of interest we find acceptable and in the best interests of our company. If we are unable to obtain the amount of money that we need to fund our operations, then we will likely go out of business and investors will lose their entire investment in our company.

We do not expect that the difficult economic conditions are likely to improve significantly in the near future. Further deterioration of the economy, and even consumer fear that the economy will deteriorate further could intensify the adverse effects of these difficult market conditions.

Material Changes in Results of Operations from October 31, 2009 to October 31, 2008

We had a net loss of $(964,165) for the three months ended October 31, 2009 compared to a net loss of $(1,263,191) for the three months ended October 31, 2008. We had a net loss of $(2,095,041) for the nine months ended October 31, 2009 compared to a net loss of $(3,363,766) for the nine months ended October 31, 2008. The change in net loss for the nine month periods ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 was largely due to the following three factors:


18

  1)

Salaries and benefits costs are down approximately $378,000 compared to last year due to the reduction in work force as a result of the cash flow constraints. The reduced salaries and benefits expenses result from the elimination of a full time bookkeeper position, elimination of a full time investor relations position, the resignation without replacement of the CFO position, the elimination of health care benefits for the Company’s staff, as well as a reduction of compensation expense reported for stock option grants as a result of all outstanding options being fully vested at October 31, 2009.

     
  2)

A reduction of geological and geophysical costs of approximately $356,000. Due to cash flow constraints the Company performed only the minimum exploration activities required to maintain our mineral claims in good standing during the nine months ended October 31, 2009 and had laid off the entire geology staff. During the nine months ended October 31, 2008 the Company had approximately 10 staff members in the geology department and performed exploratory drilling on the Elle Venture claims owned 50% by the Company.

     
  3)

Interest expense is down approximately $590,000. The reduction of interest costs is mostly due to the discounts on the May 2007 Convertible Notes being fully amortized in May 2009 resulting in approximately 5 months less amortization incurred during the nine months ended October 31, 2009 compared to the nine months ended October 31, 2008.

Results for the three month period ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 were affected by the same factors that have affected the nine month periods discussed above.

Critical Accounting Policies

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Liberty Star Uranium & Metals Corp. have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 in this Form 10-Q. The critical accounting policies adopted by our company are discussed in the financial statement footnotes and as follows:

Going Concern

Since we have not generated any revenue, we have negative cash flows from operations, and negative working capital we have included a reference to our ability to continue as a going concern in connection with our consolidated financial statements for the period ended January 31, 2009. Our total stockholders’ deficit at October 31, 2009 was $(3,196,163).

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized, and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Mineral claims

The Company accounts for costs incurred to acquire, maintain and explore mineral properties as charged to expense in the period incurred until the time that a proven mineral resource is established at which point development of the mineral property would be capitalized. Currently, the company does not have any proven mineral resources on any of its mineral properties.

Convertible promissory notes

The Company reviewed the convertible promissory notes and the related subscription agreements to determine the appropriate reporting within the financial statements. The Company accounts for convertible promissory notes as liabilities at fair value in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. The Company bifurcates conversion options and detachable common stock purchase warrants and reports them as liabilities at fair value at each reporting period when required in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. The Company determined that reporting the notes as equity would not be appropriate as the conversion of the notes into common stock was not guaranteed. No gain or loss is reported when the notes are converted into shares of the Company’s common stock in accordance with the note’s terms.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures at October 31, 2009, which is the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, Mr. James Briscoe. Based on this evaluation, Mr. Briscoe has concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as at the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is 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 by our company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended October 31, 2009 there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Much of the information included in this annual report includes or is based upon estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements". Such forward looking statements include any projections or estimates made by us and our management in connection with our business operations. While these forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment regarding the direction of our business, actual results will almost always vary, sometimes materially, from any estimates, predictions, projections, assumptions or other future performance suggested herein.

Such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements" involve various risks and uncertainties as outlined below. We caution the reader that important factors in some cases have affected and, in the future, could materially affect actual results and cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in any such estimates, projections or other "forward looking statements".

Risks related to our business

Because of the speculative nature of the exploration of natural resource properties, there is substantial risk that this business will fail.

There is no assurance that any of the claims we explore or acquire will contain commercially exploitable reserves of minerals. Exploration for natural resources is a speculative venture involving substantial risk. Hazards such as unusual or unexpected geological formations and other conditions often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. We may also become subject to significant liability for pollution or hazards, which we cannot insure or which we may elect not to insure. There is substantial risk that our business will fail.

If we cannot compete successfully for financing and for qualified managerial and technical employees, our exploration program may suffer.

Our competition in the mining industry includes large established mining companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than we have. As a result of this competition, we may be unable to acquire additional financing on terms we consider acceptable because investors may choose to invest in our competitors instead of investing in us. We also compete with other mining companies in the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. Our


20

success will be largely dependent on our ability to hire and retain highly qualified personnel. These individuals are in high demand and we may not be able to attract the personnel we need. We may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by qualified personnel, or may lose such employees after they are hired. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or for qualified employees, our exploration program may be slowed down or suspended.

Exploration and exploitation activities are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated causing an adverse effect on our company.

Exploration and exploitation activities are subject to federal, state, and local laws, regulations and policies, including laws regulating the removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Exploration and exploitation activities are also subject to federal, state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment.

Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted; no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental and other legal standards imposed by federal, state, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may prevent us from conducting planned activities or increase our costs of doing so, which would have material adverse effects on our business. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which we may not be able to or elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. Any laws, regulations or policies of any government body or regulatory agency may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will alter and negatively affect our ability to carry on our business.

There are no known reserves of minerals on our mineral claims and we cannot guarantee that we will find any commercial quantities of minerals.

We have not found any mineral reserves on our claims and there can be no assurance that any of our mineral claims contain commercial quantities of any minerals. Even if we identify commercial quantities of minerals in any of our claims, there can be no assurance that we will be able to exploit the reserves or, if we are able to exploit them, that we will do so on a profitable basis.

Because the probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote, any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost.

The probability of an individual prospect ever having reserves is extremely remote. In all probability our properties do not contain any reserves. As such, any funds spent on exploration will probably be lost which would most likely result in a loss of your investment.

Risks related to our company

The Company is in default on the May 2007 Convertible Notes and the August 2008 Convertible Notes and as such the note holders make call the notes.

The Company is in default on the May 2007 Convertible Notes and the August 2008 Convertible Notes and as such the entire obligation is reported as a current liability. The note holders have a security interest in all assets and mineral properties and as a result the Company is unable to sell any assets without prior approval from the note holders. If the note holders were to call the notes and the Company was unable to satisfy the obligation the note holders could proceed against the assets and mineral claims that collateralize the notes. These restrictions may make it difficult for us to raise the cash required to perform exploration activities.

The recent weakening of economic conditions in the U.S. and around the world could have harmful effects on our ability to sell shares of our common stock. These harmful effects have caused us to cease our exploration program and they may not start up again, as a result we could go out of business and our shareholders will likely lose their entire investment in our company.

The recent weakening of economic conditions in the U.S. and around the world as well as the decrease in uranium and other mineral processing could have harmful effects on our business. Competition for limited funds from investors will likely become more intense. If investors choose not to invest in our company, we will not be able to fund our exploration program.

We will require additional funds to maintain our current mineral properties. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. However, many investors have recently seen large decreases in the value of various investments due to declining share prices across many economic sectors. Because of this and other market factors, if we choose to raise funds through the sale of our equity securities, potential


21

 investors may be less likely to buy our equity securities or we may need to sell our equity securities at low prices, resulting in fewer proceeds. This would make it difficult for us to raise adequate amounts to fund our exploration program through the sale of our equity securities.

If we are unable to restart our exploration programs through funding received from the sale of our equity securities, then we may choose to borrow the money we need. A tightening of credit conditions has also been experienced in the economy recently. Because of the recent credit crisis, it is possible that we would not be able to borrow adequate amounts to restart our exploration program on terms and at rates of interest we find acceptable and in the best interests of our company.

If we cannot restart our exploration programs from the sale of our equity securities or through incurring debt on acceptable terms, then we will likely go out of business and our shareholders will likely lose their entire investment in our company.

We have a limited operating history and as a result there is no assurance we can operate on a profitable basis.

We have a limited operating history and must be considered in the exploration stage. Our company's operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of an exploration stage enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises, especially those with a limited operating history. 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. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the mineral claim may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations of rock or land and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claim and acquire new claims for new exploration or cease operations. The acquisition of additional claims will be dependent upon us possessing capital resources at the time in order to purchase such claims. If no funding is available, we may be forced to abandon our operations. No assurance can be given that we will ever operate on a profitable basis.

If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will fail and our investors could lose their investment.

We had cash in the amount of $69,209 and negative working capital of $(3,825,959) as of October 31, 2009. We currently do not generate revenues from our operations. Our business plan calls for substantial investment and cost in connection with the acquisition and exploration of our mineral properties currently under lease and option. Any direct acquisition of any of the claims under lease or option is subject to our ability to obtain the financing necessary for us to fund and carry out exploration programs on the subject properties. The requirements are substantial. We do not currently have any arrangements for financing in addition to the May 2007 Convertible Notes, August 2008 Convertible Notes, May 2009 Convertible Notes and August 2009 Convertible Notes, further described in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this form, and we can provide no assurance to investors that we will be able to find such financing when required. The Convertible Promissory Notes entered into in May 2007 contain restrictions on raising new capital from the sale of registered stock to other investors. We are also limited to raising up to $7,000,000 in private placement funds during the 2 year term of the May 2007 Convertible Notes, during the Exclusion Period as defined in the notes, and during the pendency of any Event of Default as defined in the notes. The August 2008 Convertible Notes, May 2009 Convertible Notes, and August 2009 Convertible Notes contain restrictions that require that the August 2008, May 2007, May 2009, and August 2009 convertible notes be repaid in full from the first $3,000,000 of financings completed by the Company. These restrictions may make it difficult for us to raise the cash required to proceed with our planned exploration activities. There is no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on their investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable. In addition to the restrictions placed on us by our various financing agreements, obtaining additional financing would be subject to a number of factors, including market prices for minerals, investor acceptance of our properties, contractual restrictions on our ability to enter into further financing arrangements, and investor sentiment. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms or conditions of additional financing unavailable to us and our business could fail.

Because there is no assurance that we will generate revenues, we face a high risk of business failure.

We have not earned any revenues as of the date of this filing and have never been profitable. We do not have an interest in any revenue generating properties. We were incorporated on August 20, 2001 and took over our current business on February 5, 2004. To date we have been involved primarily in organizational and exploration activities. We will incur substantial operating and exploration expenditures without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We have limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our future success or failure can be made. Our net loss from inception to October 31, 2009 is $(38,389,581). We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from our


22

activities, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. Based upon current plans, we also expect to incur significant operating losses in the future. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in raising capital to fund these operating losses or generate revenues in the future. We can provide investors with no assurance that we will generate any operating revenues or ever achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail and our investors could lose their investment.

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report states that there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Semple, Marchal & Cooper, LLP, state in their audit report attached to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 that since we are an exploration stage company, have no established source of revenue are dependent on our ability to raise capital from shareholders or other sources to sustain operations and are in default on our May 2007 and August 2008 Convertible Notes, there is a substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern.

Inability of our Secretary to devote sufficient time to the operation of the business may limit our Company's success.

Presently our Secretary, Mr. Gary Musil allocates only a portion of his time to the operation of our business. If the business requires more time for operations than anticipated or the business develops faster than anticipated, the Secretary may not be able to devote sufficient time to the operation of the business to ensure that it continues as a going concern. Even if this lack of sufficient time of our management is not fatal to our existence, it may result in limited growth and success of the business.

Risks related to our common stock

Because we will likely issue additional shares of our common stock, investment in our company could be subject to substantial dilution.

Investors’ interests in our company will be diluted and investors may suffer dilution in their net book value per share when we issue additional shares. Our constating documents authorize the issuance of up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. At our shareholder meeting held on May 27, 2009 the shareholders voted to increase the number of authorized shares to 10,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. The Company filed a certificate of amendment on June 4, 2009 to increase the number of authorized shares to 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. On September 1, 2009 we completed a one for four reverse stock split of our authorized and outstanding common stock resulting in a decrease in authorized shares to 1,250,000,000 with a par value of $0.00001. As of October 31, 2009, there were 100,442,028 of our common shares issued and outstanding. We anticipate that all or at least some of our future funding, if any, will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. If we do sell more common stock, investors’ investment in our company will likely be diluted. Dilution is the difference between what you pay for your stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after the additional shares are sold by us. If dilution occurs, any investment in our company’s common stock could seriously decline in value.

Dilution will likely occur because of the May 2007 Convertible Notes, August 2008 Convertible Notes, May 2009 Convertible Notes, and August 2009 Convertible Notes and related common share purchase warrants that we issued on May 11, 2007 and August 14, 2009. First, the entire amount of money owed under the May 2007, August 2008 and May 2009 Convertible Notes plus 12% interest per year, may be converted into shares of our common stock at a price that is the lesser of $0.005 per share or 80% of the average closing bid price for the five trading dates prior to the repayment date. The entire amount of money owed under the August 2009 Convertible Notes plus 12% interest per year, may be converted into shares of our common stock at a price that is the lesser of $0.0025 per share or 75% of the average closing bid price for the five trading dates prior to the repayment date. The May 2007 Convertible Notes matured on May 11, 2009 but still remain unpaid. The August 2008 Convertible Notes matured on August 27, 2009 but still remain unpaid. The May 2009 Convertible Notes mature on May 21, 2010. The August 2009 Convertible Notes mature on August 14, 2010. In November 2008 we were in default on the May 2007 and August 2008 Convertible Notes as we did not have enough shares remaining in our authorized capital to be able to fulfill the conversion requests received and as such the interest rate was increased to 15%. Our convertible note holders could call the note and request security to be sold for repayment. Second, the 6,769,228 common share purchase warrants that we issued to the holders of the May 2007 Convertible Notes on May 11, 2007 may be exercised at $0.005 and $0.05 per share until they expire on May 11, 2012. Third, the 338,461 common share purchase warrants that we issued to the broker of the May 2007 Convertible Notes as a broker fee on May 11, 2007 may be exercised at $0.05 per share until they expire on May 11, 2012. Fourth, the 235,670,800 common share purchase warrants that we issued to the holders of the August 2009 Convertible Notes may be exercised at $0.005 until they expire on August 14, 2015. Because additional common shares will be issued as a result of some of or all of these factors, there likely will be significant


23

dilution of investment in our company. This would cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders and may result in a change in our control.

The sale of our stock under the May 2007, August 2008, May 2009 and August 2009 Convertible Notes and the common share purchase warrants could encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the future decline of our stock price.

In many circumstances, the provision of financing based on the distribution of equity for companies that are traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board has the potential to cause a significant downward pressure on the price of common stock. This is especially the case if the shares being placed into the market exceed the market’s ability to take up the increased stock or if we have not performed in such a manner to show that the equity funds raised will be used to grow our business. Such an event could place further downward pressure on the price of our common stock. Regardless of our activities, the opportunity exists for short sellers and others to contribute to the future decline of our stock price. If there are significant short sales of our common stock, the price decline that would result from this activity will cause the share price to decline more, which may cause other shareholders of the stock to sell their shares, thereby contributing to sales of common stock in the market. If there are many more shares of our common stock on the market for sale than the market will absorb, the price of our common shares will likely decline.

Trading in our common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board is limited and sporadic making it difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares or liquidate their investments.

Our common stock is currently listed for public trading on the OTC Bulletin Board. The trading price of our common stock has been subject to wide fluctuations. Trading prices of our common stock may fluctuate in response to a number of factors, many of which will be beyond our control. The stock market has generally experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of companies with no current business operation. There can be no assurance that trading prices and price earnings ratios previously experienced by our common stock will be matched or maintained. These broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs for us and a diversion of management's attention and resources.

Our By-laws contain provisions indemnifying our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses incurred by them.

Our By-laws contain provisions with respect to the indemnification of our officers and directors against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment in a civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his being or having been one of our directors or officers.

Our By-laws do not contain anti-takeover provisions which could result in a change of our management and directors if there is a take-over of our company.

We do not currently have a shareholder rights plan or any anti-takeover provisions in our By-laws. Without any anti-takeover provisions, there is no deterrent for a take-over of our company, which may result in a change in our management and directors. This could result in a disruption to the activities of our company, which could have a material adverse effect on our operations.

We do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of our company and any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in our stock’s price, which may never happen.

We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock’s price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

Because our securities are subject to penny stock rules, you may have difficulty reselling your shares.

Our shares as penny stocks, are covered by Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell our company's securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. These rules apply to companies whose shares are not traded on a national stock exchange or on the Nasdaq system, trade at less than $5.00 per share, or who do not meet certain other financial requirements specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These rules require brokers who sell "penny stocks" to persons other than established


24

customers and "accredited investors" to complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors, and provide investors with certain information concerning the risks of trading in such penny stocks. These rules may discourage or restrict the ability of brokers to sell our shares of common stock and may affect the secondary market for our shares of common stock. These rules could also hamper our ability to raise funds in the primary market for our shares of common stock.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

May 2007 Convertible Notes:

On May 11, 2007, the Company issued senior unsecured convertible two year promissory notes (“May 2007 Convertible Notes”) for gross proceeds of $4,400,000 in a private placement of its securities to institutional investors pursuant to exemptions from registration set out in Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. The net proceeds received after placement agent fee, due diligence fee and legal fees was $4,010,238. Under the original note terms, the May 2007 Convertible Notes bore interest at 8%. Repayment of the May 2007 Convertible Notes began in February 2008 and was to consist of sixteen monthly principal payments of $259,375 plus accrued unpaid interest. On November 17, 2008 the Company did not have enough authorized capital to fulfill the conversion requests received from the holders of the May 2007 Convertible Notes and became in default on the notes. On June 4, 2009 authorized capital was increased to 5,000,000,000. The default interest rate on the notes increased to 15%. The notes matured on May 11, 2009 but have not been paid in full yet. The entire obligation is due on demand and included as a current liability.

On August 27, 2008 the Company entered into the third modification agreement with the holders of the May 2007 Convertible Notes.

The modification agreement also reduced the fixed conversion price to $0.05 and reduced the exercise price on the detachable common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the May 2007 Convertible Notes to $0.05 per share. The Company recorded $67,700 of additional discounts on the May 2007 Convertible Notes for the reduction in the exercise price on the detachable common stock purchase warrants. The Company was granted an exemption from making any of the monthly payments in connection with the May Notes in cash until February 2009. The Company was unable to make the monthly payments beginning in February 2009 and is in default on the notes. The Company may elect to make repayments of the May 2007 Convertible Notes in cash at 110% of the principal amount due and 100% of the other amounts then due or by the issuance of common stock of the Company. The conversion price was the lesser of the fixed conversion price of $0.05 per share or 80% of the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock for the five trading days prior to the conversion date. On May 21, 2009 the terms of the subscription agreement entered into in connection with the sale of the May 2009 Convertible Notes lowered the fixed conversion price to $0.005 per share.

The Company granted a security interest to the holders of the May 2007 Convertible Notes to all now owned and hereafter acquired right, title and interest of the Company in, to and in respect of all: Accounts, interests in goods represented by Accounts, returned, reclaimed or repossessed goods with respect thereto and rights as an unpaid vendor; contract rights; Chattel Paper; investment property; General Intangibles, Documents, Instruments, letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or guaranties, cash moneys, deposits; securities, bank accounts, deposit accounts, credits and other property now or hereafter owned or held in any capacity by the Company, as well as agreements or property securing or relating to any of the items referred to above.

The holders of the May 2007 Convertible Notes were issued 6,769,228 detachable common stock purchase warrants with an exercise price of $0.05 and a life of 5 years. The exercise price was lowered to $0.005 per share on May 21, 2009 pursuant to the subscription agreement entered into in connection with the sale of the May 2009 Convertible Notes. The exercise price may be adjusted if the Company issues other shares, warrants or stock options before the expiration of the warrants at a price less than $0.45 per share.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2009 the Company issued 51,954,891 shares of common stock for conversions on the May 2007 Convertible Notes.

25

On August 27, 2008 the Company issued Secured Convertible Promissory one year notes (“August 2008 Convertible Notes”) for gross proceeds of $414,184 to the holders of the May 2007 Convertible Notes in a private placement of its securities to institutional investors pursuant to exemptions from registration set out in Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. The net proceeds received were $372,434. The August 2008 Convertible Notes bear interest at 12%. In November 2008, the Company did not have enough authorized shares available for issuance to make any stock repayments on this note and was considered in default. The default interest rate increased to 15%. On June 4, 2009 authorized capital was increased to 5,000,000,000. Repayment of the August 2008 Convertible Notes was to begin in February 2009 with six monthly principal payments of $59,146 plus accrued unpaid interest and one final payment of $59,308 plus accrued unpaid interest. The Company was unable to make the monthly payments beginning in February 2009 and remains in default on the note. The entire balance of the August 2008 Convertible Notes and May 2007 Convertible Notes becomes due immediately upon the Company’s receipt of net proceeds from a sale of debt or equity with a gross amount of up to $3,000,000. The holders of the August 2008 Convertible Notes may elect to convert all or a portion of their note balance before the scheduled repayment dates at a fixed rate of $0.05 per share. The Company may elect to make repayments of the August 2008 Convertible Notes in cash at 110% of the principal amount due and 100% of the other amounts then due or by the issuance of common stock of the Company. The conversion price for the monthly payments was the lesser of the fixed conversion price of $0.05 per share or 80% of the average of the closing bid prices of the common stock for the five trading days prior to the conversion date. On May 21, 2009 the terms of the subscription agreement entered into in connection with the sale of the May 2009 Convertible Notes lowered the fixed conversion price to $0.005 per share. Stock payment cannot be made if the holders of the August 2008 Convertible Notes own more than 4.99% of the then outstanding common stock of the Company. Stock payment cannot be made if the stock is not timely issued, an event of default has occurred, an exemption from registration of the resale of shares of Common Stock to be issued in payment of the Monthly Amount is not available to the Holder, or if the amount of Common Stock that would be issued in satisfaction of the Monthly Amount exceeds for the Holder and Other Holders, in the aggregate, more than 33% of the aggregate daily trading volume of the Common Stock for the seven trading days preceding such Repayment Date, as reported by Bloomberg L.P. for the Principal Market. The Company may use the proceeds for lease payments, offering expenses and other designated purposes.

The August 2008 Convertible Notes are secured by all now owned and hereafter acquired right, title and interest of the Company in, to and in respect of all: Accounts, interests in goods represented by Accounts, returned, reclaimed or repossessed goods with respect thereto and rights as an unpaid vendor; contract rights; Chattel Paper; investment property; General Intangibles, Documents, Instruments, letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or guaranties, cash moneys, deposits; securities, bank accounts, deposit accounts, credits and other property now or hereafter owned or held in any capacity by the Company, as well as agreements or property securing or relating to any of the items referred to above.

At October 31, 2009 and January 31, 2009 the Company was in default on the August 2008 Convertible Notes and the entire obligation is classified as a current liability on the accompanying financial statements for the periods then ended.

May 2009 Convertible Notes:

On May 21, 2009, the Company completed the sale of $170,668 principal amount of 12% Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (“May 2009 Convertible Notes”) to six subscribers pursuant to the terms of a subscription agreement between the parties dated May 21, 2009. Net proceeds of $157,468 are intended to be used for mineral lease payments, offering expenses and working capital.

Pursuant to the terms of the convertible secured notes and the Subscription Agreement, interest accrues on the Notes at a rate of 12% per annum commencing on the date of the issuance of the May 2009 Convertible Notes. The May 2009 Convertible Notes principal must be repaid commencing October 15, 2009 in monthly amounts equal to 14.28% of the principal amount of the notes together with interest, accrued to each monthly payment date on the outstanding note principal. In the event a registration statement is effective or Common Stock may be immediately resold by the noteholders without volume or other restrictions, and an event of default is not pending then the Company may pay the monthly amount with registered or unregistered common stock valued at the lesser of the fixed conversion price of $0.005 (subject to certain adjustments), or 80% of the average of the closing bid prices of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days prior to the monthly payment date. All amounts remaining outstanding from the May 2007 Convertible Notes and the August 2008 Convertible Notes will now be convertible to common shares on the same terms, notwithstanding their original terms. The Company agreed to reserve for issuance to the subscribers not less than 175% of the amount of shares of common stock necessary to allow conversion of all notes at the conversion price in effect from time to time.

The Company may, in any event, elect to pay the monthly amount in cash at 110% of the principal amount due and 100% of all other amounts then due. The Company must provide 10 days notice of whether payment will be made in cash or with stock. If the


26

notice is not timely given, the noteholders shall have the option to elect to be paid in cash or common stock. Each monthly payment in kind will be limited to not more than 33% of the aggregate daily trading volume of the common stock for the 7 trading days preceding the relevant monthly payment date. The entire principal and interest will be payable upon the Company’s receipt of the net proceeds of a $3,000,000 offering of the Company’s debt or equity. Provided an event of default is not pending, the Company may prepay unconverted portions of the Note upon 20 days prior notice during which time noteholders may convert the amount of the note noticed for prepayment at the fixed conversion price. Such payment shall be equal to 125% of the principal amount being prepaid and the accrued interest. In the event that commencing on the date that is six months following the closing date and ending two years thereafter, Rule 144 is unavailable for the unrestricted resale of the conversion shares under the Notes, then the Company shall pay to the Investor as liquidated damages for each thirty days (or pro rata for periods shorter than thirty days) a sum equal to 1.75% of the purchase price of the outstanding notes.

The Company agreed to include at the option of each noteholder the number of shares that may be converted pursuant to any note in any registration statement it files during such period, ahead of the rights granted to the subscribers in the May 2007 Convertible Notes and the subscribers in the August 2008 Convertible Notes. Noteholders are subject to certain limitations on their rights to convert the notes. The principal limitation is that unless waived, the holder may not, with certain limited exceptions, convert into a number of shares that would, together with other shares held by the holder, exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of the Company after such conversion.

Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, James Briscoe, the CEO of the Company agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of his shares of common stock of the Company owned by him or which he has the right to acquire for a period of two years from the date of the Subscription Agreement, unless sold in the open market for over $0.90.

No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities.

During the nine months ended October 31, 2009 the Company made no payments of cash or common stock on the May 2009 Convertible Notes. The interest rate on the notes has been increased to 15% effective October 15, 2009 when the first monthly installment payment was not paid.

Each monthly payment in kind will be limited to not more than 40% of the aggregate daily trading volume of the Common Stock for the 5 trading days


27

 preceding the relevant monthly payment date. Provided an Event of Default is not pending, the Company may prepay unconverted portions of the Note upon 20 days prior notice during which time Investor may convert the amount of Note noticed for prepayment at the Fixed Conversion Price. Such payment shall be equal to 125% of the principal amount being prepaid and the accrued interest. Noteholders are subject to certain limitations on their rights to convert the Notes. The principal limitation is that unless waived, the holder may not, with certain limited exceptions, convert into a number of shares that would, together with other shares held by the holder, exceed 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of the Company after such conversion.

Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, James Briscoe, the CEO of the Company agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of his shares of common stock of the Company owned by him or which he has the right to acquire for a period of two years from the date of the Subscription Agreement, unless sold in the open market for over $0.90.
